Culture of hookups

Student dies due to vehicle accident

Faces inthe Crowd

Students lose sight of safety practices By Sarah.Clark iowastatedaily.com Hot, wet, dirty or rough; however you like it, you can find it on a college campus. The “hookup,” society’s new word for meeting and mating, is a developing act swarming college campuses. National studies have revealed that more than 70 percent of college students will hook up with a casual partner in some form before they graduate. Teresa Downing-Matibag, assistant professor of sociology, has also recently been involved with multiple studies revealing students’ behaviors and attitudes toward hooking up. Her studies revealed that students are often misinformed about the risks of acquiring a sexually transmitted infection during hookups. In Downing-Matibag’s study, none of the students who engaged in oral sex during a hookup protected themselves against orally transmitted STIs because they didn’t think it was necessary. “You [students] need to think about the fact that the person you are giving oral sex to on Friday night might have had unprotected vaginal intercourse with someone else last Saturday. You really don’t know how many sexual partners your hookup partners have had, or whether they used protection,” Downing-Matibag said. Downing-Matibag is also an adviser for Iowa State’s Relationships on Campus organization and the Intimate Relationships learning community. The two organizations work to teach students how to maintain healthy intimate relationships in the college atmosphere. Downing-Matibag’s studies revealed students are often unprepared to discuss the use of protection during their hookup encounters. Because hookups are not always planned, students are not prepared for the sexual intimacy that may arbitrarily arise. Furthermore, DowningMatibag said, when alcohol is added to the picture, students’ abilities

The vehicle was driven by Derek Haskin, senior in prebusiness, at approximately 10 p.m. Saturday after the ISU football game against Texas Tech. No speeding, reckless driving or alcohol was involved, said Mike Brennan, investigations commander for Ames Police. Brown was crossing South 16th Street near Mulberry Boulevard. Witnesses said he was walking on the south side of the street, according to a news release by ISU News Service. Brown was parked at the Ames Christian School, on South 16th Street.

“Hooking up is a good end to a good night.”

Advocates for Youth, ISU professor host workshop on sexual knowledge, behaviors By Taysha.Murtaugh iowastatedaily.com ISU students crammed into a conference room Thursday night at Martin Hall to talk about relationships and sex. “Is there any better way to spend a Thursday night than pizza, sex and relationships?” said Tom Klaus, program director of Teen Pregnancy Prevention Initiatives at Advocates for Youth. Advocates for Youth is a

Washington, D.C.-based organization working to empower young people to make decisions for their own sexual health.

Alexandria Benson senior in electrical engineering “It’s going out of your way to do something random with somebody you hardly know.”

By Nyajuok.Deng iowastatedaily.com Erv Klaas was the first to notice something was amiss in the Squaw Creek. A volunteer for the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, Klaas takes water samples from two places on the Squaw Creek; where it’s crossed by Fourth Street and Duff Ave, to test for a variety of things, from water clarity to bacteria levels. In July, Klaas first reported a difference in the E. Coli levels reported between his two testing sites and immediately reported the increased bacteria levels to city officials. In August and September, Klaas recorded similar discrepancies between the two sites, and continued to report them to the city of Ames, which began checking storm sewers for any sort of drainage that might have occurred. September 23, Klaas sampled his sites and recorded approximately 11,700 E. Coli colonies per 100 mils at the spot near Duff, compared to his sampling from the spot near Fourth St., which yielded only 3,000 colonies per 100 mils. A reading of 235 would be enough to close a public beach, Klaas said, but since the creek is only classified as a secondary contact stream, it’s held to different standards. Saturday, the Skunk River Navy discovered a sanitary sewer leak in Squaw Creek during one of its cleaning events.

Greek Run for the Roses benefits arthritis research

By Adam.Hayes iowastatedaily.com Coming out to friends and family can be difficult for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people. Anna Howie, junior in linguistics and president of the LGBT Ally Alliance, identifies as pansexual, which, she said, “is similar to bisexuality, but without the gender binaries.” “Getting the courage up to tell people was definitely really hard, but the hardest part was trying to anticipate how people would react,” Howie said. Howie said she was in the closet as early as sixth grade. “I faked having crushes on people, just so no one would ever suspect me. It was definitely hard because I felt completely alone back in middle school,” she said. Once high school began, she still had no intentions of telling anyone about her sexual identity, until one of her friends asked her about “Are you a lesbian or bisexual?” the friend said.

Kathy and Jeff Wellik of Story City never imagined their 4-year-old daughter, Kaylee, would be 1 of the 2,800 children in Iowa diagnosed with arthritis. Kaylee started complaining about her knees at age 3. Kathy Wellik said she always wanted to be carried; they thought it was jealousy toward her new baby sister. Kaylee’s parents took her to a walkin clinic for a swollen knee at age 4. The doctor thought she just twisted it while playing. Two weeks later, Kaylee became very sick. She woke up and could barely move, Kathy said. “They put her through every test in the world in the next five days,” Kathy said. Doctors first thought it was leukemia, but later diagnosed Kaylee with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. “I was in shock at first, obviously, but I was thankful it wasn’t cancer,” Kathy said. Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis is the most common type of arthritis in children under 16. It causes constant joint pain, swelling and stiffness. It can cause growth problems and affect internal

organs. Within 90 days of her diagnosis, Kaylee had 61 doctor appointments. She went through extensive physical, pool and ocWellick cupational therapy for the next 18 months. Her swollen knees were constantly hurting, leaving her unable to walk for six months. Her parents had to push her around in a stroller, physically put her in and remove her from the bathtub. “She had it in her fingers, wrists, ankles and elbows, basically all over her body,” Kathy said. Kaylee was only in remission for six months out of the 12 years she has had arthritis. She takes three daily oral medications, one weekly injection and one weekly oral medicine to help with the symptoms. There was a six-week period when her arthritis flared again. She had to be pushed to lunch at school on an office chair. “People don’t understand how it cannot be there one day and flare the next,” Kathy said. Kaylee is now a junior at Roland-

Story High School. She has not let her arthritis stop her. She gives welcome kits including a backpack, notebook and a quilt to children who have recently been diagnosed with juvenile arthritis. She has traveled to Washington, D.C., twice to advocate arthritis research. Sharon Tatom Garcia, vice president of communication for the Arthritis Foundation, said arthritis costs the U.S. $128 billion dollars in direct and indirect costs each year. At Iowa State, members of Alpha Omicron Pi sorority and Ames Area Running Club hold Run for the Roses, a 5K and 10K run, each year to raise money for arthritis research. Last year $10,000 was raised from the event.

New York: Caitlin Sanchez, a 14-year-old who voiced “Dora the Explorer” on the Nickelodeon show starting in 2007, has filed a complaint in New York County Supreme Court alleging that the network hasn’t properly compensated her for her work. According to a statement issued by the lawyers representing Sanchez, the suit claims that Nickelodeon “took advantage of a hard-working teenage girl” and “charges that Caitlin and her parents were pressured into signing an unconscionable contract with convoluted, vague and undefined terms that allowed producers of the Nickelodeon hit to exploit her.” In a statement to CNN, Nickelodeon responds to the suit

saying, “The claims being made are baseless. Unfortunately, Caitlin’s voice changed and she was no longer able to portray the Dora character, as happened with the actress who originated the role.”

NEW YORK: The Nation magazine is reporting that former CNN anchor Lou Dobbs relied on illegal immigrants to help maintain his homes even as he spoke out on the air against them. The Nation said the article, published online Thursday, is based on a yearlong investigation including interviews with five immigrants who worked without papers on Dobbs’ properties in New Jersey and Florida. Dobbs said in an interview Thursday the article is “a political assault” based on what he called “the lie” that he has hired illegal immigrants. He says: “I have never, do not now, and never will.” Dobbs was host of a weeknight news and commentary hour on CNN until abruptly resigning last November after 29 years with the network. He continues to host a syndicated radio show.

Election 2010 State Treasurer

Attorney General

Brenna Findley (R) Attorney from Dexter Former Chief of Staff for Rep. Steve King (R-IA) Brenna Findley’s campaign is based off of supporting Iowa’s small businesses, cultivating economic growth, defending the Constitution and protecting life and “traditional marriage.” Findley wants to challenge the Patients Rights and Affordable Care Act on a constitutional basis in court.

Tom Miller (D

Dave Jamison (R)

Serving in his seventh four-year term as Attorney General, first elected in 1978. Tom Miller places an emphasis on crime, consumer protection and advocating for farmers. Miller pushed for laws to protect farmers who enter contracts with large agriculture businesses. Another larger priority is to maintain a partnership with the Department of Human Services to promote greater awareness of the need to pay child support.

Dave Jamison has been the Treasurer of Story County since 1995. He stresses investing and treasure managements, “with a portion of [Iowans’] retirement funds and other investments remain in-state to support economic development.” Jamison also wants to have an online database for all state bills to be paid online.

Secretary of Agriculture

Michael Fitzgerald (D) First elected State Treasurer of Iowa in 1982. He invested more than $2 billion of state operating funds into the Great Iowa Treasure Hunt program as well as college saving programs, which also includes any unclaimed property. Fitzgerald says he is working to better financial literacy among all people in Iowa.

Bill Northey (R)

Francis Thicke (D)

Bill Northey has run on a platform of stressing the importance of renewable energy in Iowa and protecting our natural resources. Iowa is ranked second in the amount of wind power production among U.S. states, and Northey wants to keep this green movement going by producing more sustainable energy sources such as turbines and stands, and reducing the environmental impact of farming. Northey recognizes that we need to cut budgets and staff, but he wants to “make things more efficient and smarter in order to save money.”

Francis Thicke wants to consider the future benefits of sustainable energy to farmers and use that as a basis for assessing our future investments in those types of projects. He says it’s very important to establish technologies to help farmers produce using sustainable cropping systems. Environmental impact is also important to Thicke, and he wants Iowa to establish air quality standards for animal agricultural production wastes that would protect not only the environment but also the quality of life of rural residents.

Election 2010

Thicke stumps for Ag Secretary position Democrat envisions Iowa generating wind power, other alternative energy By Whitney.Sager iowastatedaily.com Francis Thicke, Democratic candidate for Iowa Secretary of Agriculture, has a vision for the future of agriculture. His vision focuses on sustainability, specifically alternative energy and soil retention. Thicke said society is too dependent on fossil fuels. Ethanol, a source of alternative energy, is focused on powering automobiles, not agriculture. “We really have virtually no plans to power agriculture beyond fossil fuels,” Thicke also said. To solve this problem, Thicke suggests making use of the wind. Thicke said Iowa has the most wind of any state in the U.S. If farmers put mid-sized wind turbines on their farms, they could harvest the wind and distribute it locally, he said. “We need to see how we can keep the profits locally and in the pockets of farmers, because increasingly, farmers have been losing the profit of agriculture,” Thicke said. Corporations are stealing those profits from the farmers because of the markets, he said. Many of the markets are

acting more like monopolies than a free market, he said. “We need some change,” Thicke said. “We need some Teddy Roosevelt-style trust-busting to break up these markets.” Another alternative source of energy Iowans need to focus on is biofuel, Thicke said. Thicke believes biofuels are a better source of energy for agriculture than ethanol. “Let’s stop putting state money into building new cornethanol plants,” Thicke said. “Let’s take that money, instead, and put it into biofuels.” Thicke said pyrolysis is part of the next generation of biofuels. Pyrolysis is a process that allows fuel to be made from any kind of biomass, even garbage. Thicke said perennial crops would be the best plants to use, since they protect the soil from erosion and nutrient loss. One of the benefits of this source of energy is that it can be produced on small farms. “This is a very exciting possibility, how we can make agriculture energy self-sufficient in the future,” Thicke said. Besides focusing on alternative energy, Thicke also wants to find ways to conserve Iowa’s soil. Thicke said Iowa is losing

Fundraiser

Estes lends vocals to Habitat for Humanity By Allison.Suesse iowastatedaily.com Simon Estes’ voice is an unmistakable rich, operatic baritone. Even over the phone, the deep, warm tone is distinctive. It was Estes’ vocal talents that propelled him into a more than 40year international career rooted in an Iowa background and education. But Estes’ family struggled with money growing up in Centerville. Estes had little money to pay for his college education, and times were tough when his father died and he had to take care of his mother and siblings. But Estes hoped that one day, when he was blessed with better economic means, he would help students receive an education. It was for this reason that Estes has begun a 99-date tour to all Iowa counties in hopes of raising money for college scholarships to Iowa State and Wartburg College. Estes will perform his 27th concert at 3 p.m. Sunday in Ames at Cornerstone Church, located at the intersection of Highway 30 and Interstate 35. Part of the proceeds will go toward college scholarships for students in Iowa. The tour is titled “Roots and Wings” to acknowledge Estes’ Iowa roots and the freeing qualities of education — for students, the roots being their college education.

“Their roots are the colleges, and they will be able to take off to other places,” Estes said. “We want the students to fly with their educations.” “Take off for what you want to do in life.” Through Estes’ education at the University of Iowa, under the tutelage of Charles Kellis, the Julliard School and later Iowa State, he was able to accrue experience that launched his career. Now he is using the knowledge to give back to music students at Iowa State, among other universities. Estes is an ISU artist in residence and takes time to teach vocal students using his expertise. Along with the students in America’s heartland, students across the globe experience Estes’ benevolence. He established a school in Cape Town, South Africa, and created the Simon Estes Educational Foundation. Estes is humbled by the experience of helping students around the world, including those from Iowa State. “I feel very honored. It makes me joyful; it’s better than being happy,” Estes said. “Happiness is sometimes associated with material things. Joyful is an emotional experience.” Aligning with Estes’ education philanthropy, his 27th stop on the Roots and Wings tour Sunday will be a fundraiser for Habitat for Humanity Central Iowa.

>>STUDIES.p1 to make healthy protective decisions is critically impaired. From pregnancies to rape, alcohol is a critical variable in the hookup equation that may lead to a very negative result. National statistics state that one out of four women will be sexually assaulted on a college campus while one out of eight women will be raped. Moreover, 75 percent of male students and 55 percent of female students involved in date rape had been drinking or using drugs when the act occurred. Some scientists argue that hooking up has positive effects. These scientists claim students use hooking up as a practical means of enjoying sexual intimacy without the time and emotional commitments of a longer-term relationship, resulting in less stressful relationship bonds. Downing-Matibag disagreed with this, claiming frequent hookups prohibit students from learning how to develop emotional attachments. Some students, she said, even experience emotional distress

following a hookup due to the lack of compassionate care linked to the “relation.” Misty Prater, campus minister at St. Thomas Aquinas Church and Catholic Student Center, also disagreed. Prater said hooking up is not a positive way to form relationships. “Hooking up prohibits students from building good habits on how to establish a relationship and how to interact with people in healthy ways,” Prater said. Prater said the Catholic community prohibits all sexual activity outside of marriage, while Downing-Matibag takes a more modern approach to the subject. Downing-Matibag believes that, despite the negative effects of hooking up, students need to be more prepared for the act should it occur. “Have protection on hand, condoms for vaginal or anal intercourse and dental dams for oral sex. Keep these items on hand for yourself and offer them to friends to help protect them, too,” Downing-Matibag said. Prater coordinates a sex, love and relationships group

that discusses modern culture’s responses to hooking up. Prater said the outreach group strives to support positive decision making about hooking up and provides support for people with questions about the act relative to relationships and even marriage. With infidelity rates among young married couples rising, Downing-Matibag believes the hookup culture is partially to blame. Furthermore, Matibag warned students that infidelity is even more common among young unmarried couples. “Just because you are in a steady relationship, does not mean that you aren’t at risk for STDs,” Downing-Matibag said. Downing-Matibag suggested students get tested at Thielen Student Health Center, which offers many confidential testing, treatment and prevention services at a low cost. Both Downing-Matibag and Prater agreed students need to be more aware of their sexual habits and begin to take steps to promote their personal health as soon as possible.

The more people are empowered to expect quality relationships, the quicker they are to recognize abusive ones.” At the workshop, students discussed what kinds of relationships they’ve participated in and what kinds of relationships they are most open to. Klaus and Downing-Matibag defined types of relationships as traditional, modern, post-modern and serial hookups. In a traditional relationship, couples meet, date and get married before participating in sexual activities. Modern relationships include meeting, dating and having sex before marriage. In a postmodern relationship, couples meet, have sex and then date. A serial hookup involves meeting, having sex and going separate ways. Most students at the workshop preferred modern relationships, and most had experienced either modern or post-modern relationships. The students then discussed what qualities were most important to each type of relationship, and they voted on which qualities were

most important to them. “We wanted to get a sense of what students this year would have to say about ... what a healthy relationship would look like,” Klaus said. Communication, honesty, trust, respect and sex were all qualities considered most important to a healthy relationship. Wagoner said Advocates for Youth will use the data collected at the workshop to think through shifts in sex education policy to ensure that relationship education is a central priority within sex education in high schools. “Relationships are the gateway to sex,” Wagoner said. “If we can give people the ability to form healthy relationships, we can improve sexual health and safety.” Downing-Matibag said she was pleased with the large turnout for the workshop. “I think it’s great that students have an opportunity to talk about the kind of relationships they have and what makes them happy,” Downing-Matibag said. “Students really are involved in every type of relationship imaginable ... and I think we need to have a public conversation to meet students where they are in their lives so that they can have the best relationships possible during their college years.”

The leak was found by South Fifth Street, near the Boys and Girls Club of Story County. “Cleaners were wading in the river waist deep cleaning it out when a few of the 65 people attending smelled some ‘bad smelling stuff,’” said Jim Colbert, associate professor of ecology, evolution and organismal biology. The cleaners said they knew right away there was a problem. Throughout Klaas’ samplings, he noticed that none of his other readings were very different, other than that the water was muddier, but not enough to indicate any extreme problems. The cleaners hauled approximately two tons of trash out of the creek Saturday and said it saw a “large concrete sewer.” Colbert reported it to Jake Moore, stormwater specialist, Monday morning.

Steve Schainker, city manager, said he learned of the leak Wednesday and held an emergency City Council meeting Thursday to decide what happens next. “If we had gone through the normal nonemergency process, it could have taken a month or so,” Schainker said. “We hope to start working next week since we got authorization for an emergency purchase process.” Schainker said a hose was placed to bypass the section of the creek washed away by floods and that there is no danger to the environment. “It might have just happened recently,” Schainker said. He said he is pretty sure the flood caused the leak and will look for reimbursement from FEMA later. Colbert expects the water is safe and is classified for general human contact.

The police department’s release stated that no charges are anticipated in this incident. Graduate of Ottumwa High School in 2008, Brown shared his love of the St. Louis Cardinals and the Kansas City Chiefs with others, as indicated on his Facebook page. He had a brother and two sisters, along with a niece and two nephews, said Shawna Manning, junior in pre-diet and exercise and high school classmate of Brown.

Brown worked at Target in Ottumwa and interned over the summer with Rockwell Collins in Cedar Rapids as a design engineer. There, he helped design the computer software Minibox. Brown was also involved in Salt Company, and Manning said that he sparked her interest in joining the group. “Jonathan had a fun, loving, sweet personality,” Manning said. “He was a friend to everyone.”

UnidentiďŹ ed man causes evacuation Unknown baggage handler ees after inquiry CNN Wire Service Authorities evacuated a Bermuda-bound ight at the Philadelphia International Airport in Pennsylvania Thursday after one of three people loading the plane failed to produce identiďŹ cation and then disappeared, police said. US Airways Flight 1070 was bound for Bermuda with 102 passengers and ďŹ ve crew members, police said. The aircraft was towed to a secure part of the airport, where baggage was removed from the plane and was being screened by bomb-sniffing dogs. The plane tested negative for explosives, and the incident was not believed to be terrorrelated, said FBI spokesman J.J. Klaver, but the investigation was ongoing. Police were expected to speak to reporters Thursday afternoon.

There were also no narcotics found on board the plane, said Stephen Sapp of Customs and Border Protection. Federal and local police at the airport were searching for a man in uniform who was not wearing identiďŹ cation on the tarmac, a law enforcement official told CNN. “This could be a suspicious person or it could be nothing,â€? the official said. Two of three baggage handlers loading the plane did not recognize the third man and noticed he lacked an identiďŹ cation badge, according to a law enforcement official. The two confronted the man and asked him who he was. The man left the area and was still being sought by police. The rest of the airport was fully operational and not affected by the incident, said spokeswoman Victoria Lupica. The passengers remained in the terminal, said Todd Lemacher, spokesman for US Airways. The airline hopes to get them back on the plane and headed for Bermuda once authorities allow it, he said.

Des Moines Register

Poll ďŹ nds state divided on immigration issues Two-thirds support Iowa passing Arizona-like law

™

online

The Associated Press DES MOINES — Fifty percent of Iowans believe the state should encourage people from other countries to move to Iowa, while 41 percent say they would discourage newcomers, according to a new poll published Thursday in The Des Moines Register. The desire to discourage residents from other countries was more prevalent among older, conservative respondents to the poll. The poll also found 66 percent of Iowans favor passing an immigration law like the one in Arizona that would require local police to check the legal residency of those stopped for other offenses. The poll shows strong support for that among tea party supporters, Republicans, born-again Christians and those who support GOP gubernatorial candidate Terry Branstad. The Selzer & Co. of Des Moines telephone poll of 803 Iowa adults was conducted Sept. 18 to 22 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points. Grinnell College researcher and sociology professor David Cook-Martin told the newspaper in its copyrighted story that the poll results reect politics and economic fears. He said Republicans have made immigration a critical issue this year. “If you take a very long view, nativist groups have been successful in making immigration

an issue in times of crisis,â€? he said. The state’s gubernatorial candidates differ on immigration. Branstad has said motorists stopped by police should have to prove their legal status. But Democratic Gov. Chet Culver calls that politics based on “fear and division.â€? Branstad said in a statement that Iowans should welcome legal immigrants. “It is a different situation when someone comes here illegally,â€? Branstad said. “I believe the law should be uniformly enforced, and that employers should be required to do E-VeriďŹ cation to ensure people hired are here legally.â€? Culver, in a statement, criticized Branstad for disagreeing with a U.S. Supreme Court decision requiring equal access to education for immigrant children. Branstad has said he would abide by the decision if elected, but thinks children of illegal immigrants shouldn’t be allowed to attend public schools. “As governor, [Branstad] never challenged the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling that children of unauthorized immigrants are eligible for K-12 public education,â€? Culver said. “Now, he has decided to pander to the base of his party and opposes the Supreme Court’s ruling. He would rather turn these kids loose on the street than have them receive a basic education.â€?

Federal officers on Thursday arrested 23 people suspected of smuggling up to 70 men from China to work in Chinese restaurants in and around New York City. “We allege that this was a for-proďŹ t smuggling scheme,â€? said Jim Hayes, Immigration and Custom Enforcement special agent in charge of the investigation. He told CNN that the men were brought into the United States by business owners and illegal recruiters, who would get families to pay a fee of up to $75,000 each. “The employment agency would arrange for them to be brought into the United States and the restaurant owners would harbor them and transport them after engaging the employment agency to get the type of worker they desired,â€? he said. None of the illegal workers were arrested, Hayes said. “Were working through that group of people to determine who were knowing participants, who may have been exploited, who may have desired to leave and weren’t allowed to leave,â€? he said. The investigation found instances in which workers were paid as little as $3 an hour and were forced to live in sub-par living conditions in Connecticut, New Jersey and on New York’s Long Island, he said. “Many of these aliens were housed in squalid conditions and unsanitary conditions, certainly conditions they were not desiring to live in,â€? he said. The ongoing eight-month investigation is part of a new initiative by the Department of Homeland Security’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency to target employers of illegal aliens rather than the workers. “It’s different in that we are looking to eliminate the magnet that draws the workers as opposed to focusing on the employees themselves,â€? Hayes said. The status of the workers remains uncertain. Some will be witnesses, which could lead to beneďŹ ts for them, and some may face deportation.

25-year-old criminal case leads to arrest of mother A former New Jersey woman now living in Nevada was arrested on suspicion of abducting her daughter during a custody struggle more than 25 years ago, authorities said. Nancy Dunsavage Fiedler, 57, of Incline Village, Nevada, was arrested Tuesday, according to the Somerset County, New Jersey, Prosecutor’s Office and the Washoe County, Nevada, Sheriff’s Office. She is accused of eeing a courthouse in Somerville, New Jersey, with her then-6-year-old daughter, Eva Marie Fiedler, during a custody hearing on August 23, 1984. At the time, the girl’s father had full custody of her, according to New Jersey prosecutors. On June 28, 1985, Nancy Fiedler failed to appear for an arraignment on charges of interference with custody, and a warrant was issued for her arrest. The case resurfaced Tuesday, when Eva Marie Fiedler, now 32, attempted to change her name to Melissa Reed in order to obtain a marriage license in Washoe County, Somerset

State briefs Casino/race track lease in works before referendum DES MOINES — Officials with Polk County and the Prairie Meadows casino and racetrack are working to ďŹ nalize a new lease agreement. The negotiations come in advance of next month’s referendum asking voters to approve another eight years of gambling at the Altoona facility. Polk County administrator Ron Olson says work on a new agreement began in July. He says it should be much different from the current deal. Polk County owns the facility, which is run by a nonproďŹ t board. The current lease expires Dec. 31. Revenues from the casino are channeled to the county for community development and betterment grants and to pay off debt for the Iowa Events Center. Gambling revenue will also pay for a $42.8 million renovation of Veterans Memorial Auditorium in Des Moines.

County prosecutors said in a release. A background check found a listing in the National Crime Information Center for Eva Marie Fiedler as a missing child out of New Jersey. “Investigating deputies determined that [Nancy Fiedler] had changed her name to Debbie Reed and was living in Incline Village,â€? near Lake Tahoe, the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office said in a release. Washoe County authorities contacted Somerset County prosecutors, who asked the sheriff’s office to locate Debbie Reed. They did so Tuesday night. “Deputies noted that ‘Debbie Reed’ displayed the same descriptors as noted in the NCIC warrant for defendant Fiedler,â€? New Jersey prosecutors said. After a brief interview, the woman admitted to authorities that she was Nancy Fiedler, Nevada authorities said, and was arrested. Eva Marie Fielder apparently had no idea she had been abducted or that her mother was sought by police, according to CNN affiliate KRNV. It was unclear why she was attempting to change her name. Capt. David Nikoley of the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office told CNN Thursday that authorities aren’t sure whether the girl knew of her abduction or why she sought the name change. Investigators in Nevada have not interviewed her yet, he said, and are awaiting a request to do so from New Jersey. “The dust hasn’t settled yet,â€? he said. Washoe County authorities issued a statement saying the girl is now 31, but a yer posted on a “Protect Your Kidsâ€? internet forum lists her birthday as May 9, 1978, meaning she would now be 32. The same forum, in a thread marked “Parental Abduction,â€? has a posting dated January 2010 from a person self-identiďŹ ed as Eva Marie Fiedler’s cousin. “Myself and our whole family would love more than anything to have her back,â€? the posting says. “... Please Eva Marie we all want you to come back and we all promise you will be safe with us we all love you ... if you or your mom are just afraid to come back, we promise you will be safe.â€? New Jersey prosecutors will extradite Nancy Fiedler from Nevada, according to the statement. Washoe County said she was being held at the county detention facility on a no-bail warrant pending that extradition. “Throughout the years, detectives from the Somerset County Prosecutor’s Office have followed dozens of leads, both domestic and international, in an attempt to locate defendant Fiedler and her daughter,â€? with the assistance of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, the statement said. “Detectives have stated that throughout the years defendant Fiedler was able to remain undetected by obtaining a number of identities for her and her daughter,â€? prosecutors said. According to the Asbury Park Press newspaper in New Jersey, authorities charged Nancy Fiedler’s sister and the sister’s husband with conspiracy to interfere with a custody order and contempt of court in the case, three years after the girl’s disappearance. Prosecutors claimed the two, who were living in California, helped Nancy Fiedler keep the girl from her father.

DES MOINES — The Rebuild Iowa Office says more than 85 percent of the disaster money allocated to the state after the historic ooding in 2008 has been approved. The office said Thursday that the 85 percent represents $3.5 billion of the $4.1 billion promised to Iowa. Officials say money has spent on efforts like emergency housing, labor and job assistance, crisis counseling and scholarships. The office said, for example, that 90 percent of the $56 million the Iowa Legislature approved for housing and other individual needs has been spent. Funds are still being spent on efforts like buy-outs, infrastructure and public assistance projects.

Watch for meth labs now using household items DES MOINES — Officials are asking Iowans to be on the lookout for methamphetamine labs using a new technique to produce the drug. The Iowa Division of Narcotics Enforcement says labs are now using common household containers like pop bottles to make meth. The agency says the method can mask the telltale odor of a meth lab. It allows pro-

ducers to move into more-populated areas, including apartments. Kevin Frampton of the Iowa Division of Narcotics Enforcement says producers are now moving away from gas cans, tubs and anhydrous ammonia. Frampton says that someone with more cold packs or garden fertilizer than they’d seem to need should raise a red ag.

Flood recovery stalled by FEMA paperwork CEDAR RAPIDS — A bureaucratic holdup has delayed construction at the centerpiece of Linn County s ood-recovery effort. County officials hosted the Federal Emergency Management Agency for the groundbreaking of a new public services center last month. But little work has started because the agency hasn’t signed off on paperwork required to free its $14 million portion of the $14.8 million project. The paperwork mixup involves the county’s plan to move one department to a new location. Federal Emergency Management Agency spokesman Russ Edmonston says the issue should be cleared up by next week. But County officials say the holdup cost them weeks of warm weather ideal for construction.

Sentencing delayed in case against 15-year-old CHARLES CITY — Sentencing for a Charles City teenager convicted earlier this year of killing his young cousin has been delayed. The Globe Gazette newspaper in Mason City reports Thursday that District Court Judge Bryan McKinley granted a defense motion asking for sentencing to be continued for 15-year-old Edgar Concepcion Jr. Concepcion was found guilty as an adult in June of ďŹ rst-degree murder and three other charges in the death of 3-year-old Krystel Banes in 2009. He was to be sentenced Friday but the judge continued the sentencing until an undetermined future date. Earlier this month, the Iowa Supreme Court ruled that it wouldn’t review Concepcion’s conviction. Concepcion remains in state custody. The Associated Press

Pakistan The Pakistani Taliban has claimed responsibility for two explosions Thursday at a shrine in Karachi in which at least eight people were killed and dozens injured. The suicide attack was launched at the shrine of a revered Sufi Muslim saint, Abdullah Shah Ghazi, said Zulfiqar Ali Mirza, interior minister of Sindh province. Mirza has ordered the closing of Karachi shrines until further notice. Karachi, Pakistan’s largest city, is located in Sindh province. Saghir Ahmed, Sindh’s health minister, told CNN that the victims have been brought to hospitals in Karachi and 60 people are being treated for injuries. Authorities said crews were sifting through human remains at the site. Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari condemned the attack. “The relentless attacks on ordinary Pakistani citizens by those who want to impose an extremist mindset and lifestyle upon our country will not deter our government and the Pakistan Peoples Party,” a statement from Zardari’s office said. “We remain committed to fighting these murderers and expelling them from our land.” The attack occurred Thursday night, the busiest time at the shrine because it’s the eve of Muslim Friday prayers. Karachi and Sindh residents make pilgrimages to the shrine to offer prayers. Thursday night also is when people distribute free food to the poor, an act that is one of the five pillars of Islam.

Kenya More than 500 teachers have been fired in the past year in Kenya following reports of professional misconduct that included flirting and sexual acts with students, including impregnating some young girls, the chairman of the Teachers Service Commission said this week. Chairman Ibrahim Hussein said that while the commission is only mandated to deal with disciplinary matters among its members, it is also pursuing criminal proceedings against the dismissed teachers. “So far we have managed to get 30 cases to court with the help of the police and the children’s department,” he said. But Musau Ndunda, secretary general of Kenya National Association of Parents, told CNN that though some cases had reached the courts, no prosecutions were taking place. “Most of these children come from poor families and the parents are bribed, sometimes for as little as $10, to drop the case,” he said. Ndunda blamed the government and the TSC for the inappropriate teacher conduct, because there was previously no policy framework to guide the teacher-student relationship. “In rural areas you will find a student cooking and fetching water for a teacher in his home,” he said. “This makes it easy for her to be defiled.” Ndunda said that the youngest pregnant student who had come to him for help was 14 years old but he had been told of students as young as 12 being defiled by their teacher. The KNAP came up with 28 recommendations earlier this year to help define and govern teacher-student relations. “Some of these include outlawing students from entering teacher’s quarters, banning of evening extra-tutoring classes and regulating the number of male teachers in a girls’ school,” said Ndunda. In April, the TSC, which handles the hiring, promotion and discipline of teachers , issued a memo to all teachers and other education officials emphasizing its guidelines. “The commission is concerned with the increasing cases of violence — physical, psychological and sexual — against pupils/students and recognizes that it is a violation of their human rights wherever it occurs; in their homes, educational institutions, communities and places of care,” according to the memo. It defined sexual abuse by teachers as “sexual intercourse, sexual assault, touching of a pupil/student’s body which is of a sexual nature, any suggestive language or gesture, any form of inducement, threats or violence to force them to engage in sexual intercourse, exposing pornographic material or any form of flirtation with or without consent.” The commission said that the “sending of pupils/students to teachers’ houses for any reason whatsoever is prohibited,” and that no teacher “shall induce, coerce, threaten or intimidate a pupil/student in any way and particularly in regard to their academic performance, in order to have sexual relations with that pupil/student.” Hussein pushed back on the criticism of the TSC, saying the problem of child sexual abuse was a societal one. “Kenya has over 200,000 teachers, so 500 teachers being implicated in sexual offenses looks very small, but it is an offense that should not be taking place at all,” he said. “But we need everyone on board” to tackle the problem.

Russia Russia is preparing to reimburse Iran for canceling a contract for a missile defense system, and China is discussing the sale of a similar missile to the Islamic republic, according to Iranian and Russian news agency reports. “We are now preparing all the necessary documents,” Iran’s state-run Press TV reported, citing Russian Technologies chief, Sergei Chemezov. “Talks are under way on how to compensate for Iran’s outlay.” Russia blocked weapons sales to Iran last month because of U.N. sanctions against the Islamic republic over its nuclear program, despite Iran’s objections. Items blocked from sale include the S-300 surface-to-air missile systems. The order banned export to Iran of armored vehicles, military aircraft, helicopters and ships. Iran has said repeatedly that its nuclear program is aimed at producing energy for peaceful purposes. It said Russia’s refusal to deliver the system is a violation of its contract. International powers say Iran wants to pursue nuclear weaponry. The Russian state-run RIA Novosti said Russia owes Tehran only the prepayment of $166.8 million for S-300 air defense missile systems, citing Chemezov. The missile systems that had been destined for Iran have been built, and could possibly be supplied to a third count

Nobel Prize in literature Peruvian Mario Vargas Llosa won the Nobel Prize in literature on Thursday, the Swedish Academy announced. Vargas Llosa was chosen “for his cartography of structures of power and his trenchant images of the individual’s resistance, revolt, and defeat,” the academy said. “I am very grateful to have received this privilege,” Vargas Llosa told CNN en Espa241. “The truth is I did not expect it,” he said in the televised interview. “It was a surprise ... but a pleasant surprise.” Vargas Llosa is in the United States, teaching two courses at Princeton University. The author said the Swedish Academy called him at 5:30 a.m. to inform him he had won and an announcement would be made in 14 minutes. The announcement was made as scheduled, he said, and the phone started ringing nonstop. “This house has turned into a madhouse,” he said. The writer, 74, is the first Latino to be awarded the Nobel literature prize since Mexican author Octavio Paz won in 1990. CNN Wire Service

89 meters left before rescue 33 workers have been trapped in a mine chamber since Aug. 5 CNN Wire Service

COPIAPO, Chile — Rescuers in Chile have just another 89 meters left to drill and are expected to break through into the area where 33 miners are trapped by Saturday, Chilean Mines Minister Laurence Golborne said Thursday. Depending on whether engineers decide to encase the rescue shaft with steel casing, the 33 miners could be extracted from the collapsed San Jose gold and copper mine within 2 to 10 days after breakthrough, Golborne added. The miners have been trapped in a chamber since August 5. They are in contact with the outside world through a small bore hole that is being used to send them food, water, supplies and other necessities. Rescue crews have been drilling three separate, wider holes to send down a rescue capsule that will bring the men to the surface. Those rescue attempts have been labeled Plans A, B and C. “We’re advancing pretty well in Plan

B. We restarted the drilling process and are hoping we can get contact more or less this Saturday. Depending [on] if we have to change the drill hammer or not it could be a bit earlier, but we’re predicting [the] date for Saturday,” Golborne said. Mine engineers will have to decide whether they need to encase the shaft with steel tubing to prevent rockfalls and further collapses as they extract the miners. “We have to wait two, three or four days if we do not encase and eight to 10 days if we do the encasing. That will be based on technical matters decided by technical experts,” he added. . The so-called Plan B drill, a Schramm T-130 rig, hit a depth of 535 meters by 8 a.m. Thursday following a 20-hour stoppage to change drill hammers and to survey the rescue shaft with a miniature camera. Earlier this week, the Plan B drill cut through 53 meters in just 12 hours, which means technically it could cover the remaining 89 meters down to the miners in just 20 hours. One of the rescue coordinators, Rene Aguilar, an engineer for state copper company CODELCO, said earlier this week they may encase the first 100 meters of

Once the miners are extracted they will undergo about two hours of health checks at a field hospital that has been set up at the mine. They will then be reunited with one or two immediate family members. Next, all 33 will be flown by military helicopter to the regional hospital in the city of Copiapo — approximately a 15-minute flight. Chilean President Sebastian Pinera said on Sept. 19 during his last visit to the mine that he planned to personally hug each of the 33 miners as they were pulled from the rescue shaft. He is due to depart on a government tour to Europe mid-month.

European Union help sought for cleanup effort Industrial waste resevoir bursts, infects villages, river Danube CNN Wire Service DEVESCER, Hungary — The Hungarian government made an urgent request Thursday to the European Union for help in the cleanup effort after a reservoir holding industrial waste burst earlier in the week. The government wants expert assistance in three villages left covered by the toxic red sludge after the accident Monday, the official news agency MTI reported. Meanwhile, the sludge from an aluminum plant reached the Danube, Europe’s second largest river, on Thursday as emergency officials worked to contain as much of the leak as possible. “It is a huge tragedy for the whole country,” said Anna Nagy, a Hungarian Disaster Management official. “We love the Danube, we’re very proud of the Danube and we tried to protect it.” “I hope we can save the life in the river,” she said. Hungary needs time to calculate the cost of the disaster, saying that the government’s first response had been to try to save lives and clean homes. Tibor Dobson, a top disaster management official, told CNN that the sludge,

which flowed from an aluminum plant reservoir that burst on Monday, is less dangerous than it was when it spilled. Officials believe pH levels have dropped to within an acceptable range, making the river safe, Dobson said. They are monitoring the Danube for potential signs of toxicity, such as dying fish. Nagy said pH levels had fallen to 9.1. That’s more alkaline than neutral, which is 7 on the scale, but much less than it was originally, at 13, the Catastrophic Protection Unit said Thursday. Emergency workers were pouring plaster and fertilizers in hopes it would bind with the sludge and counter its alkalinity. The exact chemical composition of the sludge has not been revealed, but aluminum processing normally involves compounds that include cyanide, cadmium and chromium. The environmental disaster, which occurred nearly 100 miles west of Budapest near the town of Ajka, has killed two children, ages 1 and 3, an elderly woman and a 35-year-old man whose SUV overturned in the sludge. About 250 people have been evacuated from their homes, said Gyorgi Tottos, a spokeswoman for Hungary’s Catastrophe Protection Unit. The reservoir has since been repaired and the flow from the pool halted. But the material that flowed out of the reservoir continues to pose a threat.

France’s law banning the burqa and other Islamic face coverings in public places is legal, top constitutional authorities in France ruled Thursday, clearing the final hurdle before the ban goes into full effect. The ban passed both houses of the French legislature by overwhelming margins earlier this year, and is scheduled to come into effect in the spring. The law imposes a fine of 150 euros, or $190, and/or a citizenship course as punishment for wearing a face-covering veil. Forcing a woman to wear a niqab or a burqa will be punishable by a year in prison or a 15,000-euro, or $19,000, fine, the government said, calling it “a new form of enslavement that the republic cannot accept on its soil.” Lawmakers also cited security reasons for forbidding people from covering their faces in public. The French Constitutional Council said the law did not impose disproportionate punishments or prevent the free exercise of religion in a place of worship, finding therefore that “the law conforms to the Constitution.” A panel of French lawmakers recommended a ban last year, and lawmakers unanimously passed a non-binding resolution in May calling the full-face veil contrary to the laws of the nation. “Given the damage it produces on those rules which allow the life in community, ensure the dignity of the person and equality between sexes, this practice, even if it is voluntary, cannot be tolerated in any public place,” the French government said when it sent the measure to parliament in May. French people back the ban by a margin of more than four to one, the Pew Global Attitudes Project found in a survey earlier this year. Some 82 percent of people polled approved of a ban, while 17 percent disapproved. That was the widest support the Washington-based think tank found in any of the five countries it surveyed.

Privately-owned insurance turned profit on neediest

Prevent sickness

“We need to generate better value in this country,” said Denis A. Cortese, CEO at the Mayo Clinic, speaking on health care reform. We’re of the opinion that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act — Obamacare, for those of you who just dozed off — was a great idea consigned to political quagmire from the get-go. It makes us sad. The health care cost per-person in the United States is double that of most industrialized nations. If you’d like perspective on that statement, we’ve been ranked 37th by the World Health Organization — below Cuba, but above Slovenia. Why does health care cost so much? Are doctors and nurses overpaid? Hardly. Are pharmaceutical companies to blame? Maybe, but the research and development that goes into new drugs and vaccines isn’t cheap. The real problem is that health care is an extremely lucrative business. Unfortunately, certain facets of health care turn a hefty profit. And many health care and insurance providers will cash in on this in the worst ways. Two concepts need to be understood: preexisting condition and rescission. That first term is pretty self-explanatory, even for politically correct rhetoric. However, rescission is less well known. This isn’t the economic recession we’re talking about — it’s a business practice. By definition, it’s the act of rescinding, the canceling of a contract between two parties, returning to a state as if said contract had never been made to begin with. Up until Obamacare, rescission was an all-too-common practice. If you’d failed to disclose an aforementioned pre-existing condition, insurance companies could, and did, retroactively cancel your policy. It didn’t matter if patients had paid thousands of dollars into their current policies, were in the throes of chemotherapy, or were victims of catastrophic injury. People lost their insurance on technicalities. Why? Simple: Health insurance is a business. Businesses are designed to turn profits. Keeping you healthy — and paying — is definitely in the interests of the company, but picking up the slack after your deductible is a business expense. Some companies saw the practice as an opportunity to cut their losses. A recent congressional report showed that three insurance companies combined to save $300 million over five years with 22,000 rescissions of coverage. A major part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is rectifying this problem, ensuring that companies will insure those with pre-existing conditions and will not drop people when they need health care the most. As a temporary transition solution while new regulations are put in place, the act calls for a government Pre-Existing Condition Insurance plan. This is intended to be active for only a few years while Washington goes through the usual dog-and-pony-show getting the rest of the act set up. This system is, in fact, already in place, and has been since the summer. States have received money to insure people with pre-existing conditions. California has so far received enough for 20,000 people while states like Wisconsin have room for about 3,000 people, and these plans will cost about the same as an insurance plan for someone with no pre-existing condition. While the system has yet to gain widespread use — most states have had barely one-tenth of their allotted capacity sign up — this is an excellent first step toward some much needed health care reform.

Students have a number of resources to combat flu, other common ailments

T

he sick season has begun. You may be seeing the effects among your friends: sniffling, lethargy and generally zombie-like behavior. In addition to the general stress and day-to-day worries that can cause all of these things, people are starting to get sick. I’ve been wandering about campus, seeing bright red noses, darkened eyes and dragging feet. It looks like a really depressing clown convention. Even some of my close friends are beginning to exhibit symptoms of various maladies and are having “those days” more and more often. It’s an uphill battle to keep myself healthy. Last year during the beginning of second semester I got strep throat. It was miserable; I was in constant pain, with shivers and a fever, barely able to stay awake and sweating all the time. I was constantly hungry but it hurt too much to eat anything. Class was out of the question, and while I normally am not opposed to the occasional skip, this took all the fun out of it. Eventually I got on antibiotics after a visit to the remarkably convenient Thielen Health Center, I eventually got better, recovered and was immediately hit with the realization that my inability to do anything for the last week had included an inability to do homework, all of which was now due. It wasn’t pretty. While not everyone gets strep throat, my experience isn’t unique. Every year between 5 and 20 percent of Americans get the flu, and last year was one of the worst years on record, according to the CDC. H1N1 was, in fact, declared the first “global pandemic” in more than 40 years. No wonder everyone was in a complete panic. I was personally certain it was the end of humanity, as we know it. It’s a real relief we made it through as a species. That was a close one. But now it’s time to start panicking again. The flu is making it’s annual comeback, and like I said, we’re all starting to see it rear it’s ugly head. But it’s pretty easy to prevent. There are flyers across campus and instructions in most bathrooms, but in case you have somehow missed them, here’s some helpful info. We have a pretty great resource available to us here. Remember the Thielen Health Center? Turns out they’re holding flu clinics so people get vaccinated as soon as possible. You can go to their site for all of the times and places. It costs $20 but you can charge it to your U-bill if you need to. If you’re too cheap to invest a few dollars into your own health, fear not, as there are still options. Lets face it, college students aren’t known for outstanding personal hygiene. With classes and homework and organizations. sometimes our habits can get pretty gross. However, if we take a little time to proactively counteract this, our chances of spending winter healthy and relatively happy are much better. Wash your hands, of course, and use the hand sanitizer that’s seemingly randomly strewn across campus. It’s helpful, I promise. And not to sound overly parental, I hope I don’t have to tell you to shower every day. It’s good to get clean. Besides, you’ll stink a lot less. Your friends will thank you, or at lest appreciate it. Plus don’t let things grow on those dishes in the sink; just wash them. Oh and one more thing, if you do get sick, don’t push yourself to keep going. Take time off. Get better. It’ll make things a lot faster. And it’s a good excuse to skip class.

U.S. should tend to its citizens before all others In response to Mr. Hanton’s article “U.S. has room for immigrants,” I would ask him: “Just because the United States has the room spatially, does that mean we should let any and all enter?” I ask this because as he mentions in his article that the United States is already piping water to the desert to grow food for the population that is here, so how much more of that are we going to have to do? A nation is determined to be wealthy when it exports more than it imports. What happens to the U.S. when we have to start importing more than we produce? Or where are these new people going to live? Where will they work? The United States already has a higher unemployment rate than any U.S. citizen would like to see, and what about those who are unable to find suitable employment? Are we supposed to give jobs to those who enter legally or otherwise, and keep current residents unemployed? I don’t think that the average, semi-educated U.S. citizen cares about the country of origin of immigrants; it’s more along the lines of the letter to the editor’s take care of our own before we take care of everyone else’s [sentiment]. I understand and empa-

thize with people wanting to come here for a better life, but let us help those who are here and don’t mind working for a better life. I think other countries need to take responsibility over their populace so it doesn’t become a problem for everyone else. Just like people found out here in the United States over the past few years, if you can’t afford it, then you shouldn’t have it. Now, there are a few things that don’t qualify for my “if you can’t afford it, you shouldn’t have it” opinion. They would be food, shelter and water. So here is my thought: If you can barely afford taking care of yourself, or yourself and your wife, perhaps you shouldn’t rush into having children. My reasoning for this is simple: With more mouths to feed comes the need for more food, water and shelter. Thus you can’t afford to live where you are at and will need to depend on the kindness of charities or governments to survive, and what if your government doesn’t give handouts? Now you have to find a country that does and start taxing that country’s government and by extension, their people.

ISU-Campustown partnership vital to project success Partnership with Iowa State is critical to the improvement of Campustown for students, visitors and the greater Ames community. Stanley Perdios is concerned that campus would invade a place that now provides a retreat from classes and homework, specifically through the relocation of some university offices and a multi-use movie theaterlecture hall complex proposed in LANE4’s redevelopment plans for Campustown. By committing to lease, not own, office space in the new development, the university is simply ensuring that this space will not sit vacant and will contribute to an increase in daytime population of Campustown, allowing a greater variety of businesses and services. I can understand Perdios’ point about not wanting to attend class in a movie theater, but this is another case where a university partnership may be necessary to ensure the facility could be sustained financially. A new cinema, especially with multiple screens, could draw in non-students from around Ames and expand Campustown nightlife options for students under 21 and those desiring an alternative to drinking. It is my understanding that both these facilities would be developed and managed privately. Successful urban neighborhoods are built on synergies between different businesses, activities, and institutions that can compliment and sustain each other. The inclusion of university functions in Campustown redevelopment is intended to facilitate a wider variety of businesses and services, which in turn makes Iowa State more attractive to prospective students and fosters more interaction with the Ames community. The Campustown redevelopment initiative is something the entire Iowa State and Ames community can stand behind. The current proposal is very preliminary and will inevitably change and be refined as the process moves forward. However, it deserves thoughtful consideration and reasonable discussion based on an accurate understanding of the project goals, its stakeholders and sources of funding.

Young’s 3-run homer helps Rangers beat Rays again By Fred Goodall The Associated Press ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Two dominating pitching performances and a long home run by playoff neophyte Michael Young have the Texas Rangers on the verge of winning a postseason series for the first time. Young hit a three-run homer one pitch after keeping his at-bat alive with a disputed checkswing, helping C.J. Wilson and the AL West champions beat the Tampa Bay Rays 6-0 Thursday for a 2-0 lead in their AL division series. Texas is the only current major league franchise that’s never won a playoff series. After winning consecutive games on the road, that can change with one victory when the best-of-five matchup shifts to Rangers Ballpark this weekend. Game 3 is Saturday, with Matt Garza pitching for Tampa Bay against Colby Lewis. Ian Kinsler also homered for the Rangers, who are in the playoffs for the first time since 1999 and hadn’t won a postseason game in 14 years before Cliff Lee shut down the sputtering Rays in their home park Wednesday. Wilson was equally impressive, allowing two hits in 6 2-3 innings. He gave up a single to leadoff man Jason Bartlett to start the game, then limited the Rays to just three baserunners on an error, a walk and a hit batter over the next five innings. Willy Aybar doubled in the seventh for the second hit off the Texas starter, who departed with runners at second and third. Darren O’Day struck out pinch-hitter Matt Joyce, and Darren Oliver got four outs to finish the two-hitter before a sellout crowd of 35,535. Long known for fielding powerful lineups, the Rangers finally look as though they have the arms to match. “The story today was our pitching,” Young said. The Rays, whose .247 batting average was the lowest for an AL club that made the postseason since the 1981 Oakland Athletics, were held to eight hits in two games at Tropicana Field, where they had one of the best home records in the league this season. Texas pitchers fanned 23 batters in two days, which is not surprising. Tampa Bay’s 1,292 strikeouts this season were the most by a major league team that reached the playoffs. Young broke the game open with a 431-foot shot to center field off Chad Qualls, who thought he had struck out the six-time All-Star on a 2-2 pitch.

Utes provide challenge By David.Merrill iowastatedaily.com Iowa State is coming off one of its best Big 12 performances in school history. Now with No. 10 Utah standing in their way, the road doesn’t get any easier for the Cyclones. “They play with a lot of passion,” said running back Alexander Robinson. “They fly around and make plays. They have a lot of good players and they play hard every play. They’re going to be a tough team.” The Utes have two viable quarterback options in sophomore Jordan Wynn and senior Terrance Cain. Wynn missed two games due to a sprained thumb, but returned to lead the Utes to a 56-3 victory over San Jose State in their last contest. Utah coach Kyle Whittingham pulled him after halftime to avoid aggravating the injury with the game well in hand. Utah is ranked seventh in the nation in points allowed, averaging just 12 points per game. Facing a tougher defense than they faced against Texas Tech last week, Iowa State’s game plan is going to be important.

“With any opponent, it just comes down to us executing,” Robinson said. “We have to take what they give us and execute with that.” Robinson is coming off his first 100-yard game of the season, but Utah is no slouch in the rushing game either. Senior running backs Eddie Wide and Matt Asiata provide a 1-2 punch in the backfield. Wide has rushed for 210 yards on 40 carries and scored three touchdowns, while Asiata has scored twice and racked up 187 yards on 44 carries. With a balanced offensive attack, gap control is going to be very important in the coming game against Utah. “The biggest thing is try to read their formations and make sure you have the right guys in the right gaps at the right time,” said defensive end Rashawn Parker. “They’re good backs. When they find the whole, they’re good at hitting the hole and running downhill.” Parker said he saw no weaknesses on the Utes’ offense that could be exploitable and had

Soccer

By Dave Campbell The Associated Press MINNEAPOLIS — Andy Pettitte and the defending World Series champions stumbled through September and landed in the AL wild-card spot. As the Minnesota Twins can attest, the New York Yankees are hardly an underdog in October. Pushing the home-field advantage back in Minnesota’s face, Pettitte turned in a vintage postseason performance with seven smooth innings and Lance Berkman had two big hits for New York in a 5-2 victory over the Twins on Thursday evening for a 2-0 lead in their best-offive division series. “Andy, when he gets in big situations, he knows how to handle it,” Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. “He’s not going to try to make the perfect pitch. He’s going to stay aggressive and just try to do what he does. And I think a lot of that is just from experience.” Berkman hit a go-ahead home run in the fifth and a tiebreaking double in the seventh against Carl Pavano, sending the Twins to their 11th straight postseason loss. Eight of those have come against the Yankees, who trailed in each of those games. Mariano Rivera got three outs for his second save of the series, extending his postseason record to 41. The road team has won all four games in the two AL playoff series. The Twins haven’t won a postseason game since 2004, matching the Philadelphia Phillies (1915-1976) for the second-longest streak in history behind the Boston Red Sox (1986-1995) and their 13 in a row. Berkman, yet another big-name veteran finding a place on a Yankees postseason roster, even on the downside of his career, made it 2-1 with his drive into the left-center bullpen in the fifth. 1 2 3 4

Strong offense will carry team into Kansas By Dan.Tracy iowastatedaily.com During the past week, the Texas Tech Red Raiders dealt with two offensive explosions by two separate ISU offenses. The first came Saturday night on the field at Jack Trice Stadium in a 52-38 victory for the Cyclones. The second came Wednesday night on the court at Ames High as the Cyclones hit for a season-best and alltime 10th-best .441 hitting percentage in their three-set sweep of the Red Raiders. With the Cyclones leading the Big 12 and sitting at 20th in the country with a .285 hitting percentage, the 2010 squad is in position to break the school record in hitting percentage once again after the record was broken in 2008 and 2009 So, is this the best offensive team that sixth-year coach Christy Johnson-Lynch has put on the court? “I think it might be,” Johnson-Lynch said. “I think a big part of that is that I’ve never had two outsides hit for this high of percentage. I mean, it’s really crazy to have two outsides hit that well, and last night was another example of what great numbers they’re putting up.” Outside hitters Victoria Henson and Carly Jenson combined for 27 kills and a .500 hitting percentage in leading an offensive attack that has become more balanced as the Big 12 Conference season continues.

Cyclones look for wins on the road Traveling after two-game losing streak to take on Cornhuskers, Buffaloes By Cory.Weaver iowastatedaily.com Iowa State continues its Big 12 season with a pair of road games, Friday in Nebraska against the Cornhuskers (9-4-0, 2-1-0) and Sunday in Colorado against the Buffaloes (5-6-1, 1-2-1).

Hockey

Discipline, possession key for Iowa State win By Dan.Kassan iowastatedaily.com The Cyclone hockey team seemed confident heading into last weekend’s games against Oklahoma. However, two one-goal losses left the Cyclones with a .500 record and a “Black Monday” of practice, focusing on sprints and conditioning while rarely handling the puck. “We have stressed conditioning — that is our number one thing being addressed in practice,” said coach Al Murdoch. “Number two is puck control. We need to get our passing better.” The young squad is still trying to get its chemistry down, but better team play comes with experience. With six games under its belt, Murdoch’s team is 3-3. But considering that it has played most of the upper-echelon teams in the American Collegiate Hockey Association, Murdoch is cautiously content. “In the past, we’ve played soft teams in the beginning of the season,” Murdoch said. “This year, we’ve had some good competition. I’d rather

be 3-3 against good teams than 6-0 against soft teams.” Scoring has been balanced so far this season. Senior captain Cort Bulloch sits with two other veterans atop the leader board. However, freshman Jake Flynn is among three rookies that follow in points. “I like the scoring from all four lines,” Bulloch said. “The young guys can score, and that is good.” The young team will have to try everything it can this weekend when Arizona State rolls into town for a two-game series. The Sun Devils are coming off a two-game sweep of Arizona. The Cyclones are looking to bounce back on the winning track, and that starts with playing smart. “We have to tighten up our discipline,” Bulloch said. “We have to focus on not taking many penalties, which should help us get back to our winning ways.” Penalties and special teams are always a big part of a game’s outcome. But one thing in particular had Murdoch’s attention. “Puck possession will be huge,” Murdoch said. “I be-

Forward Jake Flynn is the top scorer for the Cyclones with five goals so far this season, good enough for 18th in the country.

lieve whoever wins the battle of possession will probably win. Every second makes a difference.” Murdoch also said winning individual races to the puck is crucial to a Cyclone victory. Bulloch, considered a hard worker by his coach, expects a lot of bodies to be thrown around. “We have to play the body well,” Bulloch said. “Playing physical and finishing every hit is key to turning the ship around.”

Murdoch knows what the Sun Devils will bring to Ames come Friday night. “They are a well-coached, physical team,” Murdoch said. “They have taken in some NCAA transfers, so their maturity level is high. It will be a good battle this weekend.” Both Bulloch and Murdoch know it’s early in the season, but the long-tenured coach understands that the level of play by his team needs to improve. “It’s time for us to win,” Murdoch said. “We don’t want

Swimming and diving

Cyclones dive into new year after record season Intrasquad meet will access the team on Friday By Nate Ryan Daily Correspondent The members of the Cyclone swimming and diving team were on their third day of class like the rest of the student body Aug. 25. However, it was also the first day of going through intense training for the upcoming swimming season. The ISU swimming and diving coaches feel the training for the upcoming season is on track, with the intrasquad meet Friday at Beyer Hall. “It’s been going really well,” said coach Duane Sorenson. “It’s kind of like a boot camp where we really get them physically fit.” Sorenson said the team is a little tired and broken down right now with the intensity of the training that goes on every

day. S i n c e Labor Day, the team has been training about 20 hours a week. Sorenson “The team has done a really good job of being focused and working really hard,” said diving coach Jeff Warrick. The Cyclone swimming team is coming into the 20102011 season after one of their best seasons in school history. The team won eight dual meets last year. Following such a successful season there are certainly high expectations set for this one. “I’m always shooting for the divers to place in the topthree as a diving team in the Big 12,” Warrick said, “We’ve got a lot of experienced divers coming back.” The diving team loses their team captain from 2009-10, Tien Tran. Warrick talked to his divers

>>HITTING.p8 In addition to the Henson-Jenson duo, three other Cyclones — junior right side hitter Kelsey Petersen, sophomore middle blocker Jamie Straube and sophomore setter Alison Landwehr — have all reached double-digit kills in a match this season. “Most teams you have two — maybe three if you’re lucky — really offensive players, and on any given night we have four or five, so that’s a nice luxury to have,” Johnson-Lynch said. Henson, who started on the 2008 and 2009 squads, agreed that this 2010 team is the best offensive team she has played for in her ISU career. “For sure, I mean, over the past few years we probably didn’t have as balanced of an attack, but now everybody is pretty effective, which makes it a lot easier on our team and a lot harder for other teams, because they have to watch for one hitter at a time,” Henson said. Henson and the rest of the Cyclones will travel to the Sunflower State on Saturday to

about stepping things up for this season. “If we all raise our level up a little bit Warrick we can, not only make up for that, but maybe surpass what we did last year,” Warrick said. Coach Sorenson said the team has lost five strong seniors from last year and this year the team is looking for who is going to step up next to shine. “We’ve got 11 seniors, and they have all talked about that it’s their time to shine,” Sorenson said. The Cyclones are also looking to replace the senior sprinters from last year. Coach Sorenson mentioned 12 swimmers are currently in the running for those spots and, “they all know it.” “They are that much more motivated and pushing each other daily at practice,” Sorenson said.

take on the Kansas Jayhawks in Lawrence, Kan. The trip to Lawrence will mark one of the final chances that Henson, a Leavenworth native, will have to play in front of family and friends in her home state. “It’s a really good environment to play in. They get a lot of fans, it’s pretty crowded, and it will be nice just to play in front of my family one more time,” Henson said. Henson is now tied atop the Big 12 kills list along with Kelsey Black of Texas A&M, as they both average 4.10 kills per set. On the flip side, although Iowa State’s offense had its best performance of the year, JohnsonLynch was disappointed to see a season low of only two total team blocks for the Cyclones. She hopes to have her team better prepared for a Kansas team that has a number of experienced hitters. “I thought, defensively, digging we were fine; blocking is what we have to address,” JohnsonLynch said. “I thought we had several opportunities to block balls and we just dismissed it, just got beat down the front or off the hands a

“Being on relays at a Division I level is special.” The team finished fifth in the Big 12 last year and is looking for at least the same result this season. “Our goal is still to be in the top five and see how close we can get to a Kansas,” Sorenson said. The Cyclones begin their regular season when they travel to the University of Minnesota for a meet Oct. 16 against the Golden Gophers. Following the trip to Minnesota, the Cyclones then host four home meets. The team will host NebraskaOmaha on Oct. 23, before welcoming South Dakota on Oct. 29. The Cyclones then turn right around and host South Dakota State and Western Illinois in a double dual meet Oct. 30. After a smattering of road meets, the Cyclones will travel to Iowa City for the annual Hy-Vee Cy-Hawk Series dual meet with the Hawkeyes. The Cyclones beat Iowa last year

167-133. The Cyclone swimmers will then take their annual training trip to Phoenix, Ariz. Jan. 1 to 6, while the diving team travels to the Tennessee Diving Invitational in Knoxville, Tenn., Jan. 3 to 6. The training trip to Phoenix is described as “the most intense five or six days” the team has all season. “We’ll train up to five hours a day,” Sorenson said, “It’s very intense training.” He added that the team is able to just focus on swimming. “We call it eat, sleep, and swim,” Sorenson said. The season wraps up with the Big 12 Championships Feb. 23-26 in Austin, Texas. Austin is also the host for the following NCAA Zone ‘D’ Diving Championships on March 11-13 as well as the NCAA Championships March 17-19. The Cyclones hosted an alumni meet Oct. 1. The annual intrasquad meet will occur at 6 p.m. Friday. Admission is free for all.

little bit, so we’ll work on that today and over the next couple days to make sure we keep that skill sharp.” Straube, the team’s leading blocker, averages 1.06 blocks per set, which is good enough for 10th in the Big 12 this season. “Our blocking obviously wasn’t as strong as we wanted it last night,” Straube said. “We were talking and we realized that our blocking wasn’t working, so we had to find other ways to contribute and other ways to score.” Although most players enjoy going for a big kill in practice, Straube finds satisfaction in going up at the net with both arms outstretched to block her teammates at practice. “I like blocking; it’s actually my favorite. That’s why I get really frustrated when I can’t get it,” Straube said at practice Thursday. “I think it will be good today to get some reps. Sometimes it’s good just to go back and focus on blocking.” The Cyclones are right in the middle of the pack in the Big 12, at sixth in blocks per set, averaging 2.25 per set. “Passing isn’t that exciting of a skill, and blocking isn’t always that exciting of a skill, but they’re so important,” Johnson-Lynch said. “You have to have passion for them even if they’re not the most exciting drills or skills in the world.” The Jayhawks (11-6, 2-4 in Big 12) have had an entire week to prepare for the Cyclones following a 3-2 loss to Texas Tech on Saturday. The pair of Big 12 wins for the Jayhawks came at home in the Horejsi Family Athletics Center against Texas A&M and Missouri. Johnson-Lynch compared the environment of the center, which holds only 1,300 fans, to the 2,000-fan capacity of Ames High School, the Cyclones’ home venue for the 2010 season.

That helps a team gain consistency. “They have confidence in what they’re doing,” Rhoads said. “You can see that they understand thoroughly what they’re doing and do it very fast.” Whittingham, who won national coach of the year in 2008, has coached Utah to five straight winning seasons. The Utes are also undefeated in bowl games

Senior Nan Liu’s May graduation means the Cyclones must replace the Cyclones’ MVP from last season, and an All-Big 12 swimmer in the butterfly. Liu also led the Cyclones in the backstroke. Elena Carvell is a transfer from the University of Wisconsin that recorded the eighth fastest 100 fly time in ISU history in practice last season.

Karina Garlington leads a Jayhawks team that is coming off of its first winning season since 2004. Since that season, the Cyclones are 9-1 against the Jayhawks. “They’re a good team, they’re athletic and I think on any given night they can be a really good team,” Johnson-Lynch said. “They have pretty experienced hitters and a pretty experienced setter, so we’ll have a couple of people we’ll need to focus on and slow down, but I think we just have to make sure our side is ready to play.” The first serve Saturday in Lawrence, Kan., is set for 6:30 p.m.

Rhoads thinks Utah will provide similar challenges on both sides of the ball that Texas Tech showed. “They are an offense and defense that execute very well and are farther along than Texas Tech is in that regard right now,” Rhoads said. Robinson and quarterback Austen Arnaud, who both had lingering injuries, were both full participants in practice this week. Arnaud is coming off a performance in which he threw four touchdown passes.

NFL

Patriots adjust after losing star player By Howard Ulman The Associated Press FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Wes Welker may become more of a leader. Vince Wilfork doesn’t know if the team will be better or worse. Bill Belichick says he has conďŹ dence in all his players. The New England Patriots moved on without Randy Moss on Thursday when they practiced for the ďŹ rst time since one of the NFL’s best receivers ever was traded to the Minnesota Vikings. Belichick spoke positively about the player who said he didn’t expect to be with the Patriots once his contract expired after this season. “Randy was really a pleasure to coach. I enjoyed having him on our team,â€? Belichick said. “It was a difficult decision but one that I feel was in the best interests of the football team.â€? Several factors contributed to Wednesday’s trade, Belichick said, but didn’t specify them. “I would say there was never any incident or discipline problem with Randy,â€? he said. “There

never has been one with me in four years and it certainly wasn’t about contract and money.â€? Belichick did send Moss and three other players home last year when they showed up late for team meetings during a snowstorm that had traffic backed up on Dec. 9. Now that Moss is “back homeâ€? in Minnesota, as he said at a news conference Thursday, how will the Patriots offense respond? “I have a lot of conďŹ dence in our total team, all of our players,â€? Belichick said. Welker is their only proven receiver. Brandon Tate, a third-round draft pick last year, steps into a starting spot. Rookie tight end Aaron Hernandez has the speed and shiftiness of a wide receiver but lacks experience. So how can the Patriots, who received a third-round choice in next year’s draft for Moss, be better this year without him? “I’m not going to sit here and say ‘no’ or ‘yeah.’ Time will tell,â€? said Wilfork, a nose tackle. “I’m happy with this team, with everybody that’s around here, young and old. ... We’re getting ready for Baltimore. We’ll see what happens

this week that other teams haven’t done. “We have [assistant] Ben [Madsen] play up top. He’s tall, fast, strong and he’s playing against our backs right now and, we’re pretending like Ben is Morgan,â€? said coach Wendy Dillinger. Madsen is an assistant coach for the Cyclones and was a three-year starter at goalkeeper for Lincoln Memorial University in Tennessee. Nebraska sophomore forward Jordan Jackson could also pose a threat to the Cyclone defense as well. “Jordan Jackson just works her tail off and she’s all over the place and the biggest thing for us is that we stay tight, we track them, and the big thing is we can’t let them turn,â€? Dillinger said. Iowa State will ďŹ nish off the weekend against Colorado on Sunday afternoon, and the Cyclones may have a tough time scoring goals against the Buffaloes’ keeper. Freshman Annie Brunner has four shutouts this season for

Oklahoma State on Sunday, and the Cornhuskers could be just as tough as the Cowgirls. “We just need to ďŹ nish the chances when we get them,â€? said freshman midďŹ elder Emily Goldstein. “That’s what separates a great team and a good team is that a great team can ďŹ nish it, while a good team is almost there, and this game we need to be a great team.â€? One player that has been trouble to nearly every team she’s played is Nebraska’s sophomore forward Morgan Marlborough, who leads the Big 12 with 12 goals and 29 points this season. “You just have to defend her like she’s any other player,â€? Goldstein said. “You just have to frustrate her and make sure you get her out of her game and out of her mental state and do anything you can to make sure she doesn’t get past you.â€? Iowa State took an interesting approach at preparing for Marlborough

Colorado and is top-10 in the Big 12 in both saves and save percentage. “First we need to get balls into their 18 [yard box], get the ball across the face of the goal, see if we can get some crosses in and ďŹ nish off crosses,â€? Bishop said. Goldstein added that shooting will be a big factor. “We just need to make sure we’re shooting, we’re shooting on frame, we’re shooting well and we’re shooting hard,â€? Goldstein said. With how well Brunner has done in net, junior defender and co-captain Mary Kate McLaughlin said the defense plans to relieve some of the defensive pressure off the attackers so they can focus on scoring. “As a defensive unit we are looking to give our offense as much conďŹ dence as possible going forward in the attack,â€? McLaughlin said. “We would like to close the space that they have to defend so they have to worry about less and just stay tight, move as a unit, and communicate a lot.â€?

After losing the two conference games last weekend, the Cyclones believe a successful weekend on the road could be a big turning point in their season. “There have been many comments of how we should ďŹ nish low in the Big 12 and how we’re one of the weaker teams in the Big 12, and that just serves as motivation for us as we’d love to take advantage of an opportunity like this and put a game away like Nebraska and Colorado as well,â€? McLaughlin said. Senior keeper Ashley Costanzo, who was expected to be available to play last weekend, re-injured her knee Sept. 30 and will be out for another two weeks. “It’s going to take her some time for her knee to settle down again to get to the point where we can actually start working with her running,â€? Dillinger said. The ďŹ rst game is Friday at 4:30 p.m. in Lincoln, Neb. Sunday’s ďŹ rst kick is 2 p.m. in Boulder, Colo.

without Randy. “We never had problems with Randy.â€? The Patriots are 3-1 and tied for the AFC East lead. They have a bye week and play their next game Oct. 17 at home against the Baltimore Ravens (2-2). That’s when Welker should see how defenses guard him without a deep threat like Moss drawing plenty of attention. They joined the Patriots together in 2007 and, in the ďŹ rst three years, Welker led the NFL with 346 receptions. “Things may change a little bit, but we have some fast guys that can deďŹ nitely go deep and stretch the ďŹ eld,â€? Welker said. “Obviously, Randy was one of the best in the game to do it.â€? Without Moss, 33, the Patriots’ most experienced receiver is Welker. He could play “maybe more of a leadership role as far as the receivers [go],â€? Welker said. “I’m the older guy in there now and just trying to bring these guys along.â€? After the ďŹ rst game of the season, Moss had his agent, Joel Segal, ask Belichick for a trade, the Boston Herald reported Tuesday.

Fire Prevention Week

Fire started by cow sparks safety week By Karen.Jennings iowastatedaily.com Fire prevention is instilled in everyone from a young age. From fire drills in school to the presence of Smokey Bear, many steps are taken to convey the importance of safety when it comes to dealings with fire. In the last 150 years of Iowa State’s existence, there has not been one report of a fire-related death on campus. Every year the Ames Fire Department and ISU Department of Residence come together to help inform people of fire safety for Fire Prevention Week. Fire prevention groups have been getting the word out about remaining alert and safe in terms of fire safety. Fire Prevention Week also helps young adults get involved with local schools and organizations to become acquainted with fire safety. “Comfort is important and students want to graduate, therefore, here at the fire safety office we do our best to make sure students have nothing to worry about but their credentials for school,” said Peter Englin, director of the Department of Residence. Fire Prevention Week began Monday and runs through Saturday. Students get the opportunity to vol-

unteer to mentor teens about fire prevention. Iowa State has implemented some important safety features. Fire prevention has excelled during the years, with ISU fire safety providing the school with the latest state of the art smoke alarms and increasing temperature detector systems all over campus. Iowa State takes additional precautions regarding student safety, having the local fire department come once a month and inspect campus grounds and buildings for any fire hazards. Iowa State also features additional safety features, such as updating sprinkler systems annually, placing fire extinguishers every 20 to 50 feet in every building on every floor, cracking down on policies, increasing security with ISU police and closely monitoring surveillance cameras around campus. Getting the message to everyone about fire safety is not an easy task. The Department of Residence relies on the campus housing system to relay important information to students. “Educating students through house meetings and bulletin board posts is the most important,” Englin said. “Planned fire drills are to plan your escape in case of a fire and ran-

Fire safety tips: Don’t leave stoves unattended. Be careful where you dispose of cigarette butts. Don’t overload power outlets.

Fire Prevention Day When: 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday

Where: North Grand Mall

What: Fire prevention will be accompanied with appearances by local fire trucks and Smokey Bear. Activities for all ages.

dom fire drills are practice, so students have nothing to worry about [in the event of an actual fire].” Fire Prevention Week was brought to existence in memory of the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. The event was caused by a simple incident, when a cow knocked over a lantern, causing a fire that killed approximately 3,000 people and left 9,000 homeless and $200 million in damage. The event stresses the danger of fires and need for prevention.

With numerous suicides of and attacks against LGBT people in the news lately, one might think this is a new trend. Warren Blumenfeld, associate professor in curriculum and instruction, says otherwise. “I think that what is going on with the suicides of the five young men is just a testament to the systemic homophobia that engulfs our society, even today in 2010,” he said. Blumenfeld recently made a trip to Congress, presenting statistics and facts showing that many students of the LGBT community are victims of harassment on campuses across the nation. “I think we have to continually keep LGBT issues in the public consciousness, because we only hear of some of these tragic events about every 10 years when there is one high visibility event, and then there is a collective memory loss, and then 10 years later we hear about it again,” Blumenfeld said. Tyler Clementi was one of those victims of harassment, and more. Clementi was a musician and student attending Rutgers University. His roommate, Dharun Ravi, secretly filmed Clementi via webcam having intimate relations. Clementi leapt to his death off the George Washington Bridge, into the Hudson River, three days after the Internet broadcast. Molly Wei and Ravi now face up to five years in prison for invasion of privacy. “In 1998, we heard about the tragic murder of Matthew Shepard,” Blumenfeld said. “We

>>STORIES.p1 Howie said she was terrified that she finally had to tell someone about what she was going through, but when she did tell him, he had a big smile on his face and said, “I am too.” Howie and her friend began coming out to friends and classmates, who turned out to be very supportive, and Howie even helped start an LGBTAA at their high school. She finally decided to tell her father the news in December 2007 S She was worried about how her dad would react, but when she was done talking, her fa-

haven’t heard too much, but there has been at least 150 to 200 murders of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender people since Matthew Shepard.” Shepard was the victim of two students at the University of Wyoming in 1998. Shepard was brutally beaten because of his sexual orientation and eventually died in a hospital from head injuries. Iowa is 1 of 19 states that have anti-discrimination laws in place to protect LGBT people. Iowa State had policies in place to protect students even before the state of Iowa did, but there are those who say there is still work to be done. Blumenfeld believes LGBT issues, history and events need to be incorporated throughout education, so people are more knowledgeable about the topics. Less harassment will happen if more people fully understand the issues at hand, he said. “When students have to hear some lessthan-positive words, we really want to change that culture and to let people know that bullying, harassment and discrimination are not tolerated at Iowa State,” said Brad Freihoefer, coordinator of the LGBT Student Services at Iowa State. There are some issues on campus Blumenfeld believes could be fixed tomorrow if people put their minds to it. Blumenfeld said something as simple as not having gender-neutral bathrooms and living spaces for transgender students across campus can be harmful, or at least inconvenient, for students who don’t identify with a masculine or feminine gender norm. “We want this to be a safe place for all students,” Freihoefer said. “With that Rutgers University story, and frankly all the acts of violence, we want to end any of that. We want this to be a safe and welcoming place for all people.

ther reacted very positively. “I don’t know why you had such a difficult time telling me this,” Howie’s father said “You’re still my daughter, nothing changes.” Howie’s mother didn’t take the news quite as well when Howie told her. Her mother began saying things like, “It’s just a phase,” and “Life will be harder for you.” However, after a couple days Howie’s mother came around and showed her support by wearing a rainbow bracelet upon meeting with Howie, who had spent a couple days with her grandmother

until things settled down. “Ever since then, she’s been my greatest supporter. She supports everything I do here at the alliance,” Howie said. Howie said without her parents’ support, she couldn’t be so active in the LGBT community today. National Coming Out Week starts Friday and runs through Oct. 15. “It’s really an opportunity for people to hear stories, to share and to rally around a sense of pride in who we all are as Iowa State students, faculty and staff,” Freihoefer said. “We want to raise visibility, find community and be proud.”
