with Bianca Zaffarano
By Denisha.Mixon @iowastatedaily.com Bianca Zaffarano is the director of the Wildlife Care Clinic at the College of Veterinary Medicine. She is also the section leader for primary care, which takes care of outpatient procedures for pets. Zaffarano graduated from Iowa State in 1986 and has worked with wildlife and exotic animals for 20 years. What do you fear the most [at your job]? I know the cases that I get nervous about is birds that have respiratory disease because their whole body is about breathing. If a part of it is affected, it can affect the entire animal and they can be really, really sick before they even come in our door, and so then it’s a real uphill battle. It’d be like you being real sick for four weeks and not eating anything and then deciding it’s time to go to the doctor. By the time we see them, they’re really critical and oftentimes even putting our hands on them can kill them from the stress, so that’s highly stressful. What was your worst experience working with animals? The things that are really troublesome are for instance the eagles with lead poisoning and things that might have been prevented, but it’s human involvement and intervention that
has helped to cause trauma to the animals. I guess that’s one of the hardest things. I think other things like illegally imported exotic pets — you know, people want to have something different, but they don’t really know enough about them so they bring them into captivity and then they die a slow and sad death from being in captivity or not having the right food. That kind of stuff is the stuff that really troubles me. Have you ever had any animals escape? Yes. Sometimes they are healthier than we think they are and they are ready to fly away and we are not quite sure about that yet, but they are bound and determined. So yeah, we have had a couple of escapees, but it’s rare. Usually it’s baby birds that say all of a sudden, “Oh yeah I can fly,” and they get away from us and they get up into the rafters, but we always get them back. It’s hard because we have to get ladders and nets and things like that, but not so many escaping outside. My staff told me about a bird that went from one roof to another roof and then back again and it was a baby and it wasn’t yet ready to go, but he thought he was and he came back to us in the night. What do you enjoy the most?
There are so many things that are wonderful about this profession, I guess seeing an animal, particularly in the wildlife, successfully rehabilitated and then sending them back out into the wild. We had Dean [Lisa] Nolan … and the assistant provost join us in the release of two eagles. I think they both had lead toxicity and we treated them successfully so they didn’t die and then we all went out to McFarland Park and the dean actually got to do this release and just see it fly away and it circles around a couple times as if to say thank you and then it goes away. And those are wonderfully exciting uplifting events. Those are phenomenal.
Denisha Mixon/ Iowa State Daily
Bianca Zaffarono has been working with wildlife for 20 years and has been with Iowa State’s clinic for about six years.
I think also there’s real innate intelligence in animals and I do really feel that most of them understand when you are trying to help. I know that sounds corny, but you can see it in their eyes. Some of the birds, I have a real fondness for crows … they’re really misunderstood birds, but they’re highly intelligent. When somebody brings a crow in, you can just see it in their eyes when you are trying to help. Not just crows, anything really. There’s something wonderful about that. The other thing that’s
really fun, especially with the wildlife clinic, is knowing that these kids who go out and they do programs with our creatures that can’t be released anywhere, they would have been dead a long time ago, but they have a permanent safe home where they’re fed and they live much longer with us than they ever would out in the wild, and they go and we have them go to give talks for kids. Just seeing the enthusiasm of the children learning about some of these creatures, like our opossum his name is Ernie … and he has been wonderful because most people think of opossums as creepy looking things. You really see the better side of humanity because people will stop for an injured [animal]; name it you know — turtle smushed in the road, baby bunnies in a nest, a hawk in a field or a deer — they will stop, they will do everything they can to capture that and bring it to get help. To me, that’s rewarding because that shows a better side of human beings, so we get to see that a lot, which is kind of cool. Are there any things that we can do to help wildlife? One thing is don’t throw your food out of the window on the highway be-
cause that is when animals come near the highway to eat it and then they get hit. So when you’re throwing the rest of your McDonald’s out the window or something like that and you think, “Oh somebody can eat this.” Yeah they do and then they come and they get hit, so that’s one of the big things. If they see injured wildlife, first of all be careful, don’t get hurt and remember they can still be dangerous even though they are not aggressive. It’s best to probably call the Department of Natural Resources or something like that if it’s an animal that you can’t safely get into a box. Usually baby bunnies don’t need to be rescued. We have a lot of people bring in baby bunnies and they are not abandoned, the mamas don’t sit with them during the day, they just come back at night. People find the nests and think “Oh, they’re abandoned” because they don’t see the mama and they scoop them all up and they bring them in. They have less than a 50 percent chance of survival if they do that and they have better survival if you leave them. When people have questions, it’s best just to call the wildlife clinic and find out what to do with it before they touch it.

150 Years of Ames
Family champions black students Editor’s note: In celebration of the 150th anniversary of our city, the Daily will highlight prominent figures, places and events in Ames’ history each week.
By Matthew.Rezab @iowastatedaily.com The long history of integration at Iowa State is highlighted by names like George Washington Carver and Jack Trice, but that history could never be considered complete without the inclu-

The Martin House on Lincoln Way was built in 1919 by Archie and Nancy Martin. They provided housing for black men for more than 20 years. The house is still standing today.
sion of Archie and Nancy Martin. The Martins moved to Ames from Austell, Ga., in 1915. Archie, born in 1857, worked as an assistant yard master with the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad, while Nancy, born in 1856, cooked for a local doctor and a greek house on campus, according to Ames Historical Society. The Martins filled the void of reliable housing for African-American students in the Ames area for more than 20 years. Iowa State may have welcomed African-American students on campus, but residence policy did not allow black students to live with white students until the 1940s.
ISU President Albert Storms wrote a letter to a colleague in 1910, saying, “Negro students are entirely welcome at this institution; they have no discourtesy whatever shown them by fellow students or others. It is not always easy for a Negro student to find rooming and boarding accommodations except where there are enough to room and board together, as is the case with Filipinos and other nationalities.” The Martins recognized the problem a few years later and the Martin House was born. According to Ames Historical Society, in 1919, Archie and three of his sons built what is now known as the Martin House

After moving from Georgia, Archie and Nancy Martin gave black men room and board in the Martin House. In 2004, Martin Hall in the Union Drive Neighborhood was named for them.
at 218 Lincoln Way. The second floor of the house was equipped with three bedrooms and a bath set up for boarders. Over the years, at least 20 black students lived with the Martins while attending Iowa State, but there have been reports claiming as many as 10 students in a single year. The Martins’ daughter, Nellie Elmira, joined her parents’ cause by housing black female students in her home at 118 Sherman Ave. Students continued to be housed in the Martin House after Archie’s retirement in 1932. The couple had 12 children and lived in Ames until their deaths. Nancy lived to be 91 years old, while Archie lived to the age of 102. The generosity of the Martins paid off in the form of some distinguished alumni, according to Ames Historical Society. James Bowman, who served as a Des Moines school administrator after serving with the Tuskegee Airmen, and Manhattan Project engineer Samuel Massie both
roomed with the Martins while attending school. Archie lobbied for black students’ residential rights throughout the ‘20s and ‘30s, according to a ISU News Service’s press release. He visited ISU President Raymond Pearson at least twice prior to 1926. Pearson agreed to admit black and white students into oncampus dormitories on an equal basis, but students came to Archie that fall complaining that it was still difficult to find housing. The Martins continued to house students well into the 1940s when blacks finally found reliable housing on campus. The Martins were recognized by Iowa State 80 years after they began housing students in their home. In 2004, the Board of Regents renamed Suite 2 in the Union Drive neighborhood to Archie and Nancy Martin Hall in honor of their contributions to Iowa State, according to the press release. Today, it’s known as Martin Hall. The Martin House still stands on Lincoln Way.

Team PrISUm prepares for race ISU solar car heads to Texas to compete in 8-day challenge By Kelby.Wingert @iowastatedaily.com The PrISUm solar car team from Iowa State will compete in the American Solar Challenge road race July 21 to 28. The eight-day race will cover more than 1,700 miles from Austin, Texas, to Minneapolis, Minn., including a checkpoint stop in Ames on July 26. The team left Ames with its car, named Phaeton, to head down to Austin on July 12 to finish preparing for the race. Before the solar cars can race, they must pass car inspections, driver tests and a qualifying track race at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin from July 14 to 19. According to the challenge’s website, the solar cars will go through a “series of inspections covering all aspects of the car: mechanical, electrical, body and sizing and dynamic testing.” These inspections, which happen over the course of three days, are meant to ensure all the cars are built in accordance to regulations and have all the required safety features to ensure the car is safe to drive on the roads. Ryan Hupp, senior in aerospace engineering, will be one of four drivers for Team PrISUm. He said there is a lot to focus on

Team PrISUm members Ryan Hupp, left, senior in aerospace engineering, and Dakota Morgan, senior in mechanical engineering, work on the solar car Phaeton on July 11. They are preparing for the American Solar Challenge cross-country road race. They traveled to Austin, Texas, on July 12 to prepare for competition.
when driving the solar car on the roads. “You have to be aware of all the other cars and you don’t have great visibility,” Hupp said. The inspections, called scrutineering, will also test the drivers of the cars. The drivers are required to get out of the car without assistance in 10 seconds or less to pass the egress test. They are also tested on the car’s braking, turning and stability as well as driving
experience. The team must pass all the inspections before it can race. Hupp said he is not worried about his team passing the egress test. “I’ve done it a couple of times,” Hupp said. “I did it without the topshell and I could do it in about five seconds, so I think 10 seconds should be achievable.” The qualifying race, called the Formula Sun Grand Prix begins July 17.
The three-day track race at the Circuit of the Americas is won by the team with the most completed laps. Each car must complete a minimum number of laps to qualify for the road race, and the total number of laps determines the starting order for the challenge. The tight turns in the track will test both the car’s stability and the driver’s skill. Logan Scott, recent ISU graduate in computer
engineering, said he isn’t aware of any big weaknesses in the car, but they hadn’t tested out the solar array — the panel covering the top of the car — before leaving for Texas. “Usually, if you haven’t tested something out, it probably doesn’t work yet,” Scott said. “So we might need to do some debugging to make sure the array is verified. It’s kind of important for a solar car.” The race begins July 21
at the University of Texas at Austin. The race will go through Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa and Wisconsin before finishing in Minnesota. A checkpoint will be set up in Ames on July 26. Each car is required to stop for at least one hour at the checkpoint. Scott said the Ames checkpoint will be set up in the parking lot at Hilton Coliseum and the cars will arrive at around 3 or 4 p.m.

Students plan, build prison employees’ relaxation patio By Emily.Eppens @iowastatedaily.com Landscape architecture students from Iowa State began building a decompression area for the officers at the Iowa Correctional Institution for Women this summer. The eight students have been working on the restorative outdoor space, known as the decompression patio, after noticing that the prison employees had only the parking lot to go to for their breaks or the time after their shifts ended. “If they go on breaks or get to work early, they usually just sit out in their cars
and then go back in,” said Austin Javellana, senior in landscape architecture. “It really isn’t conducive to a break, especially in the summer when it’s hot.” Prison employees’ days are long and stressful and they will often stand out in the prison parking lot to decompress from the day after their shifts and talk to other employees before going home, said Julie Stevens, assistant professor of landscape design and the leader of the project. The students, working as paid interns, offered to build a space where the employees could relax and unwind. The group asked
the officers for a wish list of what they would like to see in the decompression area. The students then split into groups of two and worked together to make a design that would fit the officers’ wishes as well as follow the prison security rules. They shared their ideas with the prison so that they could pick and choose what they wanted before meeting and merging all of their ideas together. “[The students’] process was rapid and remarkable,” Stevens said. “They all worked incredibly well together from my perspec-

T
he fire of competition will burn brightly in Ames this weekend when the Iowa Games lights its cauldron July 18, signaling the start of the Iowabased sporting event. “The Iowa Games is set apart from your normal sporting events because typically those are [one-sport affairs],” said Cory Kennedy, marketing and communications director of the Iowa Games. “This is truly an Olympic style sports festival with our opening ceremonies and the number of sports that are being contested in the same facilities.” The opening ceremonies will be in Jack Trice Stadium at 7:45 p.m. July 18 and will feature a parade of athletes, the lighting of the cauldron and keynote speaker Harrison Barnes, former Ames High School basketball standout and current Golden State Warrior. Admission is free to athletes and coaches. Spectators aged 13 or older will be charged $5 for admission while admission for those 12 and
younger is $2. All p ceeds from the open ceremonies will be d nated to the Iowa Fo Bank. An athlete jambo will precede the ope ing festivities and will located on the east s of Jack Trice Stadium will take place from 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. a will feature games a entertainment, as w as an autograph sig ing session with Barn Kennedy said.

Games’ inaugural year, there were 16 sports featuring roughly 7,000 athletes. Based on the 2014 numbers, the Iowa Games have grown substantially in subsequent years in both the sports offered and the number of overall participants. Ames was the location Branstad chose for the event, and Ames is where it has remained for nearly three decades. “Ames was chosen, I think, because of the facilities at Iowa State,” Kennedy said. “It was really kind of a showcasing of one of the state’s large universities and it was a great venue for all the sports to take place.” The Iowa Games have grown too large to be contained in only one city — or even in one weekend for that matter, as they officially opened July 12 with ultimate frisbee and billiards — but the bulk of the events still take place on and around Iowa State’s campus. “The majority of sports still take place in Ames and that is what makes the event unique. It still has that Olympicstyle feel to it,” Kennedy said. “You can come to Ames during our main
weekend and see anything from archery to wrestling … to pickleball to soccer, so you get to see a wide variety.” Kennedy said most of the heavy traffic will center around State Gym, Beyer Hall, Lied Recreation Athletic Center, the Southeast Athletic Complex and Hunziker Youth Sports Complex. Nearly all of the events are run primarily by volunteers who Kennedy said are the engines behind the Iowa Games.
“
“The Iowa Games staff has really five [people] dedicated to it, plus five interns,” Kennedy said. “The remaining workers are volunteers. We could not do it without the help of the volunteers in the Ames community.” Kennedy said that typically there are between 2,500 and 3,000 volunteers over the course of the Iowa Games. Two such volunteers are Anne Kohler and Janet Wildeboer, residents of Ames who work together as registered nurses in the pe-

Facilities, location make Ames ideal for games diatrics department of McFarland Clinic. The two women have volunteered as medical staff for the Iowa Games for what they described as “roughly the last 20 years.” “It is fun. It is a good exposure for the community and we have a good time,” Wildeboer said. “We always have stories to tell … and we always look forward to volunteering together.” That community spirit makes its way into the competitions themselves, which has brightened the experience for at least one competitor. “I think it is the funnest tournament of the year because no one is out there trying to be super competitive,” said 19-year-old Jaden Van Dike of West Des Moines, a student at South Dakota who traveled home to participate in his second consecutive Iowa Games in ultimate frisbee July 12. “Everyone is pretty good, but no one is being a jerk about it, unlike if you were to play at a college tournament during the year.” The event prides itself on being competitive but also inclusive, ac-
cording to Randy Rogers, the commissioner of ultimate frisbee. “There is a wide range of abilities, so by the end of pool play, people usually play themselves to the right level of competition,” Rogers said. “It is a good first tournament for people who have not done tournaments before.” Soccer is the Iowa Games’ biggest event, boasting roughly 2,000 athletes on 150 different teams. However, the Iowa Games are not just for the players. “One of the good spectator events is the strongman competition, which is similar to what you would see on ESPN with people pulling trucks and tires and things like that,” Kennedy said. “That is becoming more and more popular with the popularity of cross-fit training … and the different kinds of training [regular] people are doing.” Kennedy added that there is always the chance to see something spectacular, like Iowa Games attendees witnessed a few years ago on the event’s 25th anniversary.
“Tim Dwight, who played football at the University of Iowa and then played in the NFL for several years, participated in 25 different events for our 25th anniversary,” Kennedy said. “You get to see some high profile individuals from Iowa that come back and compete. It was before my time, but Seneca Wallace [once] came back and played in a flag football tournament.” The spectators will get a great show regardless, Kennedy said, but he went on to explain that the benefits are a two-way street. Kennedy said the Iowa Games will bring around 18,000 to 20,000 people to Ames on the weekend of July 18, which is good exposure for the university and an economic boost to local businesses, primarily hotels and restaurants. “It is nice to see the same people and the same faces that I have seen for the last eight years,” Kennedy said. “People continue to come back and compete in the Iowa Games and it is always great to see them and make that connection.”

Editorial
America cannot ignore Iraq, Middle East Although some Americans had no idea there were problems in Iraq, or even where Iraq was on a map before we were in a war with them, troubles in Iraq have been carrying on for hundreds of years. A fundamental split between Muslims occurred in 632 A.D. after the Muslim prophet Muhammad died and there needed to be a decision of who was going to be his successor. Sunnis are the largest group of Muslims in the world with roughly 1.6 billion people. Iraq and Iran are primarily populated by the Shia branch of Islam. The two sides often do not agree. Iraq was under the control of the Shiite until Saddam Hussein — who was a strong member of the Sunni community — came into power and changed the religious views of the government. Although Hussein is no longer Iraq’s leader and the United States is not as heavily involved in the area, there is a continuing conflict in Iraq. It is unfortunate that many Americans do not understand the issue. Americans, especially young adults, should make a better effort to educate themselves and stay informed about global issues like the situation occurring in Iraq. The battles between the Sunni and Shiites are getting more and more violent. A Sunni militant group known as the
Islamic State has now successfully taken over parts of Iraq. This violence has spread into nearby countries such as Syria, which is already dealing with their own civil war. The Islamic State group used to be part of the al-Qaida terrorist group before al-Qaida dropped them for their brutality and extremism. The group has been torturing and executing — often by beheading — many citizens within areas of its control. The violence in the Middle East needs to be slowed down, and for Americans to think that we can just turn the other cheek and not pay any attention to what is happening now is wrong. President Barack Obama recently announced that he will deploy up to 300 military advisers to Iraq to gather information about the situation and aid struggling Iraqi security forces. In the press conference June 19, President Obama also said the United States is prepared to “take targeted and precise military action if and when we determine the situation on the ground requires it.” Yes, it is true that America has spent a large amount of time in the Middle East trying to change the situation — but we tried to do that in a country has been battling itself for hundreds of years.
Whether or not it is the right choice for the United States to intervene in the area is still unclear. However, it is wrong that we ignore the issues of other countries whose citizens are suffering. The situation in Iraq is just one example of the many issues and conflicts going on around the world. It is a sad reality that many Americans, especially college students, do not pay attention to or fully understand global issues. As conflict advances in Iraq the ability to protect the Iraqi people and the interests of the U.S. government are becoming more and more difficult, Obama said in a press conference. The United States has interests in the area, including foreign oil, and as conflict continues to spread to other countries, the United States retaining oil from the Middle East will become a struggle for both Americans and the U.S. government. Considering the United States’ history of involvement in the Middle East and the recent announcement of military advisors being sent to Iraq, it is incredibly important for American citizens to take interest and make an

effort to understand the issues at hand. Whether we believe that it is right or wrong for the United States to become more involved in the region, it seems as though we will be connected in some form — currently it is through 300 military advisers — to Iraq for the foreseeable future. So let’s take the initiative to both learn and care about the issue.

World Cup success bolsters fan base, sense of community Editor’s Note: David Gerhold lives in Magdeburg, Germany, and is a student at Magdeburg-Stendal University of Applied Sciences. He worked for the Iowa State Daily from October 2013 to February 2014 as an internship for his university. By David.Gerhold @iowastatedaily.com
O
ffside. Slide tackles. Bicycle kicks. A year ago, these terms would have sounded like gibberish to most Americans. In the last few weeks, however, there has been a shift in the world of American sports. No longer is soccer that weird European thing and no longer is the American soccer team the one that always bites the bullet in the first couple of games. Soccer has actually become popular in the United States. As the American soccer fanbase grows, people start to adopt some of the typical European behaviors during World Cups. Most notably, they start to pick up on the phenomenon of public viewing. Technically, this is nothing new. Every year, a lot of American families and friends come together and watch the Super Bowl in a living room or perhaps even in a bar. However, European countries, especially Germany, take it a step further. Ever since the legendary 2006 World Cup, large crowds gather in front of huge screens in the middle of public places to watch the game together. In Berlin, the number of fans participating can reach a few thousand people. Fan
miles like these can be found in pretty much every city in Germany. For most fans, these events are less about actually watching the game as they are about being together — a large community coming together celebrating its favorite sport. The pictures of thousands of fans together in one place wearing the German colors with pride went around the world. Now, as soccer is becoming more and more popular in the United States, thanks to the new men’s national team coach Jurgen Klinsmann, Americans have seemed to pick up on the strange European customs of this strange European sport. The German excitement for soccer seems to be contagious. Americans watched the duels of the surprisingly strong American team in anticipation, they cheered whenever someone won the ball and every single header duel was accompanied by loud rounds of applause. Americans are pretty late to the party. They can’t quite grasp the sport and its fascination yet; TV experts struggle to explain the different matches and the tactics that come into play there. But the enthusiasm for soccer is growing in America. It’s an enthusiasm different from most football games. The matches are much more action-packed and the different strengths of each team make for some tense encounters. Soccer is a sport where it’s not about winning yards and moving forward in a tactical fashion. It’s about quick reactions and fast passing, which makes the
games extremely exciting to watch. German fans, who have loved and embraced their football even outside the World Cup, look at this newly found American excitement with amusement. It seems naive and almost ridiculous that the United States celebrate this sport that is hundreds of years old as if it was something new. Seeing Americans struggle with soccer terminology is funny and part of more than a couple of jokes. Still, Americans might be late to the party, but they are still more than welcome to join it. Before the 2014 World Cup, the American team never seemed to have a chance against mighty soccer teams such as Italy, France or Brazil. With the new coach Klinsmann however, they now have a German trainer, who previously had put the German team back on track for the 2006 World Cup. Klinsmann is determined to do the same thing with the American team, which, up until this World Cup, has been an underdog up against powerful adversaries. And Americans do love their underdog stories, which is why the fans were cheering for them in a manner similar to typical Hollywood sports movies. Even though the team lost against Belgium in the quarterfinals, one thing remains certain: Klinsmann and his team have left their mark in the international soccer community. They earned the respect of the big soccer nations. Now they are hungry for more, as are the new soccer fans in America. Because almost every sports movie about underdogs has its happy ending.

can’t have. If they were going to have this space, they wanted to make sure it wasn’t going to be flaunted in front of the women,” Stevens said. “We thought that was really great because they really do care. They stick to the rules, but they care.” The students were not alone in their endeavors. A group of offenders were sent out to help them with the project. “If you know how women talk, you know that there’s lots of chatter, there’s some gossiping and rumors move around pretty quickly,” Stevens said. “We’re pretty excited that we’ve introduced them to positive rumors, so when they say, ‘I’ve heard you’re planting 60 trees, is that a rumor?’, we can say, “No, that’s not a rumor. It’s actually true.’” Helping with the projects around the prison’s

campus gives the women a sense of ownership and home while in prison, Stevens said. The women were quiet at first, but Javellana said they are starting to incorporate their own ideas into the project. “It allows them to be part of the process, a part of what is going on around them.” Said Javellana. Among one of the most difficult challenges Javellana said the team has faced in the project is the security guidelines and rules the students have to follow while working at the prison. The patio is about 70 feet away from the prison fence, and the students have to make sure their plans do not get any closer. They also have to work around obstacles such as electrical wires and rain runoff. The group has to go through prison security ev-
eryday that they are on-site and they are not permitted to wear orange, the color of the women’s sweatshirts. Later this year, the students will be asked to look at the men’s maximum prison facility in Fort Madison as well as the Iowa State Penitentiary. “That will be a totally different situation because you have 300 to 350 life sentences there for crimes you can’t even imagine,” Stevens said. “But that’s not to say that these people are not still human, and even though we are frightened or upset by the things that they have done, they are there for life and they should be able to grow food and plant flowers and live life the best they can.” The project at the Iowa Correctional Institution for Women is set to be complete by the end of July or early August.
