Outdoor warning sirens in Story County have been modified to be made more sensitive to powerful winds, as opposed to detecting when there may be a potential tornado. “The Ames Police Chief approached our agency after severe winds that weren’t labeled as a tornado impacted the northern part of Ames in May of 2012, but the storm created damage that would have been a significant risk to people outside,” said Keith Morgan, the Emergency Manager of Story County. Keith said the Ames Police Chief asked the agency to consider the pros and cons of expanding the use of outdoor warning sirens to protect citizens that may be outside without normal methods of severe weather warning. “He asked us to look into the pros/ cons of expanding the use of outdoor warning sirens to protect citizens that may be outside, without access to normal methods of severe weather warning like a [National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration] weather radio or television and radio, by giving them time to get inside and sheltered before dangerous conditions strike,” Morgan said. Before the modifications to the alert system, activation of the sirens was only for a tornado warning from the National Weather Service or when a tornado was identified by a trained storm spotter.

YMCA camp

Iowa State to renovate lodge for student groups Facility will be used for meetings, retreats Lodge Facts By Daniel.Bush @iowastatedaily.com Division of Students Affairs has started to renovate the recently purchased Lynn Fuhrer Lodge. The main plan is to use the lodge for student organizations. The division purchased the land, 17.2 acres, in fall 2012 for $120,000, said Thomas Hill, senior vice president of Division of Student Affairs. “There was some vandalism that was taking place at the property on a regular basis,” Hill said. “And so, staff went out and boarded up the windows and the doors to prevent folks from getting in it.”

The Ames-ISU YMCA managed the rentals of Lynn Fuhrer Lodge. There was a base fee of $25 with another fee depending on who was renting it: ■■ Community groups: $20 ■■ Nonprofit groups: $15 ■■ ISU faculty/staff: $10 ■■ ISU student organizations: $7.50 There was a security deposit of $200 that needed to be given to AmesISU YMCA to insure damages that occurred.

Roger Graden, associate director for facilities of ISU Department of Residence, said students could use
