Move-in

Recovery process expected to take all of fall semester By Jake.Lovett and Sarah.Haas iowastatedaily.com

Residence halls reﬁll By Matt.Wettengel iowastatedaily.com When the residence halls throughout campus ofﬁcially opened for the general student population to move-in Tuesday, Aug. 17, the Department of Residence welcomed them with open arms. The DOR anticipated the need for a revised move-in procedure across campus, facing the largest enrollment in Iowa State’s history and limited parking near the Union Drive residence halls — where construction on State Gym

left only 40 spaces usable for parking. Fortunately, students volunteered to help speed up the process. The DOR hired 551 students to join the move-in crew, more than three times last year’s 170 members. “[Move-in] went incredibly smooth,” said Pete Englin, director of the Department of Residence. “Our move-in crew volunteers did a fantastic job of quickly getting students and families into the residence halls. The additional mem-

bers made a tremendous difference.” The participation increase was the result of a summer postcard mailing to students asking if they were interested in moving in early, the catch being that they had to volunteer with the move-in crew. “[I joined] mostly because my friends did, and I wanted to get settled in earlier,” said Kyle Litzer, sophomore in aerospace engineering. “It was a good experience, there were a lot of nice people and everyone appreciated the help we provided.”

Another factor in the increased volunteer turnout was the fact that freshmen were allowed to participate for the first time. “Freshmen helped other students move in and were excited to do so, and I think that makes a great statement about our students; even though they’re here for their first time, they’re willing to help their fellow students get moved in,” Englin said. “This year’s was the best move-in in my five years serving as director, even with the growth in occupancy.”

Just 12 days ago, Ames was inundated with record amounts of flood water. Now, Iowa State is beginning the recovery process. “This recovery process is certainly going to take awhile; certainly well into the fall semester, and in some areas much beyond that,” ISU President Gregory Geoffroy said in a news conference Thursday morning. Geoffroy spoke with Director of Athletics Jamie Pollard, Vice President for Business and Finance Warren Madden and Director of Facilities Planning and Management David Miller. None of the officials offered estimates of financial damages or a timeline for the recovery. Madden said the university’s next steps involve discussing damage with insurance carriers and Federal Emergency Management Agency. “We do not have an actual estimate of the damage yet,” Madden said. “I expect next week as we begin working with FEMA we will be arriving at that point. It certainly is in the millions of dollars, but I’m not prepared today to give you an exact number.” Madden said most of the damaged facilities should fall well within their insurance coverage, while buildings such as Hilton Coliseum would likely exceed their limits. Of the buildings that were flooded, Madden said Hilton would be the university’s first priority due to the nature of its uses. Madden and Pollard alluded to having other options to relocate the ISU soccer and volleyball teams from their damaged facilities, but would not have as many viable options once the basketball season roll around in November. According to a flood map released by the university Thursday, 25 buildings on campus were affected just by rainfall and storms alone, aside from five buildings that had standing water inside due to flooding. Some of the buildings that were damaged during storms include Durham Center, Carver Hall, Lagomarcino Hall and Kildee Hall. Miller said the two buildings most greatly impacted were Hamilton Hall and Horticulture Hall. Miller said most of the buildings were cleaned by university personnel, mostly drying and removing the water from the buildings. However, Geoffroy and Madden both asserted that none of the damage to campus buildings will have a noticeable impact when classes begin Monday. Going forward, no plans for future prevention have been discussed yet. Max Porter, professor of civil, construction, and environmental engineering, said Iowa State and the city of Ames have discussed how to prevent flooding since the structures of Iowa State Center were first built in the early 1970s. “Some people were very vocal that the city should not issue building permits in the flood plain when those buildings were being built,” Porter said. Since then, a series of floods have inundated buildings in

Iowa State Fair

New dining center opens

ISU Live Green! initiative draws attention at fair

By Matt.Wettengel iowastatedaily.com The year-long renovation of the Oak-Elm dining center came to completion this month, and the newly named Conversations is now serving some of Iowa State’s most unique cuisine. Conversations provides many new features for residents, including a coffee bar, New York-style deli, hard-pack Blue Bunny ice cream stand and continuous service, from 7:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. on weekdays. The fact that Conversations is smaller than the other residential dining centers is apparent as one descends the staircase that serves as its entrance. What the dining center lacks in size, it makes up for in the quality of food it produces, said Nancy Levandowski, director of ISU Dining. “We’re really talking about Conversations being about quality and our other operations being about variety, so if students are looking for a lot of different things to eat then they should go to Union Drive Marketplace or go to Seasons Marketplace,” Levandowski said. “But if what they’re looking for is something a

Thousands of people swarmed the Varied Industries Building at the Iowa State Fair trying to escape the heat and were able to learn about Iowa State’s Live Green! initiative at the same time. “We’re talking to them about sustainability on campus, the trash compactor, how we’ve gone trayless in the dining centers, Cybrids and our electric car,” said Nate Dobbels, senior in agriculture and life sciences education and vice president of the Government of the Student Body. A 10-foot stack of dining trays towered over fair-goers, Team PrISUm’s solar car drew a lot of attention, and information about Iowa State’s sustainable mission was printed on display panels made of biodegradable material. On the side of one of the displays, fair-goers had the chance to tell everyone how they were “living green.” Post-it notes read, “wedding e-invites, ride my bike everywhere and carpool,” among many others. “Everyone has been really nice and interested in what we have to say,” said Matt Santee, sophomore in civil engineering and director of sustainability for GSB. “It’s great to see everyone’s interest.”

the area on four major occasions: 1975, 1993, 2008 and this year. Although the university and city have undergone changes in order to prevent flooding, including the extension of Elwood Drive — now University Boulevard — to Pammel Drive, Porter said the area requires further changes. “To fix it right will require quite a bit of money,” he said. He said options the university can discuss to protect the Iowa State Center include building dikes, installing flood control gates, and raising bridges and roadways. In particular, he suggested raising the bridge over Squaw Creek on Stange Road. Raising main roadways in Ames even 1 or 2 feet could help eliminate flooding, he said. He said experts will analyze the benefits of raising Interstate 35, Interstate 30, South 16th Street, South Duff Avenue, University Boulevard, Lincoln Way, Stange Road, and 13th Street. “We do need to assess, what can we do to keep these kinds of things from happening again in the future?” Madden said. “That will involve hiring those kinds of professional consultants.” Madden said the university thought it took significant steps toward avoiding flood damage after both major floods, in 1993 and 2008. “Water is a very powerful force, and when it moves like it did Tuesday night into Wednesday morning, it penetrated a number of these facilities in places that had not had problems before,” Madden said. Both Madden and Pollard mentioned the possibility of renovation to damaged facilities alongside repair and restoration. Madden said the university was fortunate the flooding did not occur while classes were in session. However, there was an estimate that 47 students were left without homes after 27 apartments flooded in the University Village. Those students were relocated to other apartments in the area, but some students have also been relocated to Wilson Hall, south of campus.

“The UDCC and Seasons are always packed, and [Conversations] doesn’t have as many people,” Peters said. “It’s close to my dorm and the food’s better than the other dining centers on campus.” Matthew Beyer, sophomore in aerospace engineering, has also enjoyed his experiences at Conversations and plans to return as long as it doesn’t get too popular among students. “It’s good food,” Beyer said. “So far it’s been better than other dining centers. I’ll [continue to] come as long as it doesn’t get crowded, but I feel like as more students get here it’ll become more of a hassle.” Along with Conversations’ renovations, ISU Dining revamped its other dining operations across campus as well. Hawthorn Market received new flooring and added online ordering for students, similar to that added last year at Clyde’s Sports Club. Union Drive Marketplace also received new flooring, added a fresh squeezed orange juice machine, available everyday at breakfast, and now provides continuous service between lunch and dinner. “[The first day we were open] we had 64 people [come in] in those in between hours, so we were excited,” Levandowski said. “It means we’re not doing it for nothing, which is great. It means we’re taking care of folks.” Another major difference to ISU Dining this year is their addition of a to-go option for students, which allows them to use their meal plans at dining centers and provides them 10 minutes to fill up one of the official ISU Dining to-go containers, which can be purchased with a one-time fee of $6. Once the to-go meals are eaten, the containers should be returned to a dining center, preferably without any food in them, where it will be washed and students can take a different, clean container. Residents also received a free official ISU Dining mug which is the only container that can be filled in and taken from the dining centers. Changes within the dining centers are all focused toward making students’ dining experience more enjoyable and making them feel that there is more value in their dining program.

Race heats up for incumbent Grassley By Tyler.Kingkade iowastatedaily.com

Catalyst Theater Company educates on sexual assault By Kristine.Ahlﬁeld iowastatedaily.com With all the excitement of moving to campus, meeting new people and having new experiences, freshmen may forget that college life is not all fun and games. It’s easy for a freshman girl to blow off a controlling boyfriend as, “He’s just more mature than I am,” or for a freshman guy to think the girl that’s stalking him is just “really into him.” But these are examples of sexual assault, and many students don’t know how to handle these situations or are aware of them at all. The Catalyst Theatre Company educates incoming freshmen about the forms sexual assault can take and how to react if they happen. Before the Catalyst Theatre performance, many students said if their friend was in an unhealthy relationship, they would try to get them help. The Catalyst Theater taught them how and where to seek it. “It opened up a lot of options, so now I know what to do in this area if it ever becomes a problem,” said Jason Herbers, freshman in agricultural engineering. When asked if their point of view on sexual assault changed after seeing the performance, the students’ reactions were split. “I was totally against it in the ﬁrst place,” said Wesley Hutter, freshman in mechanical

Watch it: The Catalyst Theater is showcased online at iowastatedaily.com engineering. However, Caitlyn Dierks, freshman in animal science, said her perspective changed. “I always thought it was wrong, but it just more deﬁned on what is wrong and what is right,” she said. Hutter, Dierks and David Sperling, freshman in electrical engineering, all agreed the Catalyst Theater’s performance would help decrease sexual assault on campus by promoting activism in hazardous situations. The performance covered many issues and struck each person differently. “I learned a few things about consent and how to be an active bystander,” Sperling said. Natalie Wingert, freshman in engineering, said she learned more about general issues on campus. Students said the group did a good job addressing a sensitive issue. “They’re doing a good thing and it’s going to help out,” said Paul Gaylord, freshman in mechanical engineering.

Roxanne Conlin, Democratic challenger to Sen. Charles Grassley, R-IA, said Thursday at the Iowa State Fair her opponent is “ducking” her. “He’s had 30 years to get ready. He’s had 30 years to hone his talking points, and I think that the people of Iowa deserve better from Sen. Grassley,” Conlin said. Conlin is also accusing Grassley of avoiding public debates. The Grassley campaign stated the senator always welcomes debates with challengers but his Senate schedule doesn’t leave him with as much availability as Conlin. So far, one televised debate in September has been agreed to by both camps. Conlin’s campaign said more debates have been proposed by various news media outlets. Grassley said in July he expected more than one debate to be arranged. The Iowa Democratic Party accused Grassley of avoiding public town hall-style meetings this week. However, Grassley is third among U.S. senators for amount of town hall meetings held in 2010 with 42 total. Grassley was in Ames on Wednesday, Aug. 18 for a breakfast meeting of the Ames Morning Rotary Club at Ames Golf and Country Club. The IDP said Conlin has held at least 125 public forums in all 99 counties. While a majority of Iowa politicians of multiple parties made time to speak at the Des Moines Register soap box at the Fair, Grassley declined. However, he made appearances at the 2010 Iowa State Fair. Conlin trails Grassley in the latest Rasmussen poll from Aug. 10 by a margin of 20 percent among likely voters. “We never rely on the re-

sults of a single poll, but this one certainly reﬂects previous credible polls,” Grassley’s campaign stated at the time. Democratic National Committee Chairman Tim Kaine, former governor of Virginia, appeared alongside Gov. Chet Culver and other Iowa Democrats at the Fair on Tuesday. Kaine said he believed despite double-digit leads by Republicans over Conlin and Culver, the Iowa Democrats still had a strong chance of victory in November. “It’s a tough climate and we understand that,” Kaine said, “but Democrats do tough.” Kaine cited Grassley’s comments about ﬁctional “death panels” at town hall meetings in Iowa in August 2009 and Republican candidates proposing privatizing Social Security as reasons the incumbent remained vulnerable. Conlin’s campaign has tried to keep those statements Grassley made in 2009 rel-

evant this summer. At the Fair on Thursday she labeled the comments “fear mongering,” and the reason she began to consider running. Grassley speciﬁcally stated at one event, “When you couple this with all the other fears that people have, and you have what they do in England, then you get the idea that someone is going to decide Grandma’s lived too long.” This comment came after discussion comparing health care systems in Canada and Europe. “In March 2008, Grassley voted for an amendment that would privatize Social Security,” said Mark Daley, campaign manager for Conlin, on Aug. 16. “I think as Roxanne tells that story, you’re going to see her numbers improve signiﬁcantly,” Kaine said. FiveThirtyEight, the Cook Report, CQ politics and many political analysts suggest Grassley has a strong chance of re-election at this point.

We want you Show respect, remove hat

School is, once again, in session. Classes have begun, studying is breaking out all over campus, and the Daily is in production. From today until the rest of the year, we will be working to publish daily news, sports, entertainment, opinions and anything else you may care to read. We need your help, though. This year there have been a lot of new ideas put into action, and a good number of features are being completely rebuilt from the ground up. Our Editorial Board is one of these features. We need students, readers and community members to come and participate — to discuss issues relevant to all of our lives and to write editorials about them and get the information out there. Something we've always tried to do with our editorials is represent the voice of the student body. It seems natural — we're a student newspaper run by students and written for students. In the past, however, our Editorial Board has fallen to the wayside and has been dominated only by the Daily's writers and columnists, a small group of students not necessarily representative of the whole student body's thoughts on something important. That's why we're changing things now. We want your input, your thoughts and your presence in our editorials. Got an original political viewpoint? Come to us. Something in the university's policy that you think should be discussed? Join the board. This is an open invitation, a call, a challenge to you, the students of Iowa State. Join the Editorial Board; get your voice out there with our paper. Be the voice of Iowa State like only ISU students can. We're building from the ground up. When you decide to help, you'll be joining your voice with fellow members of the student body from every college. You'll be discussing the issues with faculty, Government of the Student Body members and Ames community figures. Getting your ideas out there to those who need to hear them, is the reason for this board to exist. Bottom line, we all have issues we'd like to discuss. The Daily is a great way to get a discussion going, and the Editorial Board's job is to discuss your issues. If you think you can help, send a letter, call or e-mail. We want you.

magine a taller, grumpier, redder, infinitely more dashing Mike Holmgren. Now, make that guy a mailman, and imagine me pissing him off for the better part of three decades: That's my dad. The Vietnam War was in full swing in 1968, and Pops decided to enlist. When I've asked him what made him go and do a thing like that, I've gotten everything from, "Well, I thought for sure I was gonna get drafted," to, "Hell if I know." (He actually missed being deployed three times, spending most of that time in lovely El Paso, Texas. Ironically, Dad never would have been drafted, anyway, but he did get a swanky government job out of the deal, right Dad? Yeah ... moving along.) I've always thought his time in the service was directly responsible for some of his more endearing character traits ... obeying traffic laws ... speaking in a volume that varies between dull roar and full-on roar ... cleanliness standards that put most hospitals to shame ... stuff you'd expect from a former military man. One of the many, many things we agree to disagree on is my default hairstyle: hat. I started buzzing my hair a long time ago. I can go four months between bottles of shampoo, don't blow my beer money on froofy-smelling Elmer's Glue and don't spend any more time in front of the mirror worrying about looking like a bigger tool than I already do. To be fair, it has its downsides: I burn my fat head if I don't keep it covered in the summer, and it gets a bit chilly in the winter. Solution? Hat. Dad, on the other hand, has a set of criteria governing head attire that makes most Islamic countries seem downright pragmatic. It's not just location or events; he even considers the time of day and the weather. I've been yelled at for bending the bills of my hats, wearing them in cars and even for wearing them at night. Apparently, since the sun isn't out, I'm not supposed to do that? Now, I'll be the first to admit there are certain places where a baseball cap is hardly appropriate attire. Of the places on campus you absolutely, positively do not wear a hat, Gold Star Hall is at the tippy top of the list. Why? Respect. Maybe it's the 25 years of brainwashing, or the signs at both ends of the hall that ask you to remove your hat, but it really, really pisses me off when people think said request doesn't apply to them. I don't care what your stance is on the wars we've fought. If you've got a few hang-ups with the last two or three, I'm right there with you, but that's irrelevant. Asking you to take your hat off isn't some political

“

A memorial to the 6,000 Iowa State College men and women who offered their lives during the World War in the cause of human liberty and free government.” — Gold Star Hall, Memorial Union

or religious gesture: It's a request for gratitude and respect. Gold Star Hall was part of the original Memorial Union, designed to commemorate ISU students and alumni that lost their lives in WWI. In 1959, they added the names of those lost in WWII to bronze doors that used to divide Gold Star Hall and the Zodiac Foyer. Those doors were removed in 1984 — go check out Cy's Lounge in the Alumni Center — and the names on those doors, plus the names of those that died in Vietnam, were chiseled into the walls. They've also added to that list five times since 2003, honoring those who may have been overlooked, along with those that lost their lives in Desert Storm and Desert Storm II: The Empire Strikes Back. Point being, it's a war memorial, and that makes it hallowed ground. That means I can remove my hat for the 10 seconds it takes to walk through there, and so can everyone else. To be honest, I'd planned on writing this diatribe at some point in time, but I was saving

it for later. Why the bump to leadoff hitter? Let me tell you a story: After lunch last Monday I was heading back to the Daily for an afternoon of wonderful meetings. As I came up the stairs, I noticed a portly, middleaged man in thigh-high khaki shorts, sandals with socks, and a tucked-in, short-sleeved, button-down dress shirt reading the sign at the entrance of the hall. Completing this lady-killing ensemble was a taxi hat so epically scenester I was genuinely surprised he wasn't carrying an iPad. It doesn’t bother me when the head covering is on account of religious sensibilities, or chemotherapy treatment, but if it’s simply a sad mid-life crises attempt to reinvent oneself as a fashionista, that I can’t abide. "Sir," I call out, "mind removing your hat?" No response. I try again. "Sir, could you please take your hat off?" He turns around. He looks equal parts constipated and appalled. "Why?" he asked. I play along. "... Why what?" "Why is it any of your business?" "You're in a war memorial. I saw you read the sign." "So?" Now he's indignant. "So, it's the decent thing to do." His reply? "Go f--- yourself." Now, if we lived in a less litigious day and age, that would have been my cue to help him remove his hat and shove it straight up his ass. At the very least, I could've

socked him in the nose for being a tool about it. It's not like he wouldn't have it coming. Alas, that's not the world we live in, and as I watched him waddle toward Gerdin, all I could do was secretly hope he'd catch fire before he got there.

I get that some people might think certain traditions are outdated, but I'm inclined to think we've all but lost any sense of respect and citizenship in our society. I'm no Boy Scout, but I'm the guy that holds doors open, catches flak for addressing people as "sir" and "ma'am," feels like a tool when my girlfriend tries to pay for anything, and flat-out refuses to let my crazy neighbor lady pay me in anything but rhubarb pie for getting the branches out of her yard. Chivalry might be dying, but it ain't dead. Same goes for courtesy, same goes for respect. Rest assured, I'll be pissing and moaning about this sort of thing all year. Someone needs to. If you see me on campus, you'll see me wearing a hat. However, you see me walking through Gold Star Hall, my hat will be in my hand. If you're the type that's above that sort of gesture, or just honestly forgot, I'll go out of my way to remind you. That might seem brash, but if you're inclined to oppose, I'm inclined to think you're a jackass. Maybe it's because Dad raised me the right way, or maybe because I know about 20 guys who just left their families, again, to go get shot at, again. Next time you walk through Gold Star Hall, stop and look around. If you can't be bothered with that, at least remember to take your damn hat off. It's the right thing to do.

Social networking shows insecurities S

By Jason.Arment @iowastatedaily.com

ocial networking has become ingrained in our culture. People add content such as pictures and information about themselves to pre-built profile layouts in an effort to accurately represent themselves on the Internet. Or do they? As I surf Facebook and MySpace, I see plenty of pictures of people drinking, partying and looking-cool in general. What I don’t see are people being boring, sitting around or failing at anything. Those things are just part of life, and separating them from the self-representations we put online automatically makes that representation less than truthful. How much of our sadness, guilt, shame and failure can we really put forward on social networking though? With parents, bosses and coworkers friending you, it gets harder and harder to say what you want on your profiles. I remember when I first joined Facebook in late 2005. Statuses about smoking blunts, fighting or getting blackout drunk were nothing to bat an eye at. This was way before the suburbanized Facebook of today, where

most people won’t even post the F-bomb in their status’s — a far cry from the behavior of the college crowd that made up Facebook when I joined. What exactly is the etiquette for social networking? Can people change their choices of religion on Facebook and expect to be left alone, or have the intrusive questions of others become something that is standard to the world of social networking? On the flip side, how much information is too much information? Where the line falls when it comes to privacy that you should expect, and what constitutes putting forward all together too much information is something that is still hashing itself out in the realms of the Internet. No matter what you do, represent yourself. Don’t misrepresent yourself to be the representation that you wish you were. All too often I see people blatantly trying to be cool, chasing trends and promoting those choices on their social networking profiles. Maybe the ADD-esque nature of our culture’s attention span makes it easier to change like chameleons without everyone noticing.

It tells a great deal about society when people are so insecure with themselves that they take the time to go online and further an idea of themselves that is not accurate to real life. The need to please others certainly isn’t one invented by social networking, but maybe it has been magnified and made visible due to the public nature of most people’s profiles. I take painful efforts to secure my privacy online. I’ve made it so you can’t search for my Facebook on Google or on Facebook itself — I recommend you do the same. I do my best not to try and make myself look cooler than I am. I mean, how cool can a working class white dude from Grimes, actually be? Maybe I’m selling myself short though. If I had more photos of my tattoos, guns or of me doing awesome stuff, would people like me more? Would I have a better job? Would I have more friends? Probably not. If I ever turn trendy, hopefully I have friends who care enough about me to call me out on it; rather then letting me live in my own little world, where I can paint reality however I feel like it at the time.

Increase in use of social networking sites has allowed people to put up better, if not false, versions of themselves on sites like Facebook and MySpace. Graphic: Rebekka Brown/Iowa State Daily

Oil spill exaggerated grossly by news media

An aggressive solution By Edward.Leonard @iowastatedaily.com

drinking vacationers and cleaned up tar balls where they had been sighted. Aside from these distractions and the murmurs of disdain for BP and the media, the Gulf lifestyle carries on — business as usual. I spent a few of my nights haunting the landmark Florabama Lounge, which rests directly on the border of the two states. In those nights, it was almost impossible to tell that this region had been stricken by "one of the worst ecological disasters in American history." The explosion on the Deepwater Horizon rig was a terrible and preventable occurrence. By no means am I attempting to downplay the anguish BP's lack of respect for the unpredictable nature of the ocean has caused, but I truly believe every American concerned with this story should visit the Gulf coast: rent a condo, go to the bar, have some beer with the locals, buy a T-shirt, go out to dinner and pump your money into the stricken economy. I spoke with people from all across the region: Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana. Some were on vacation — clinging to the comforts of the only world they've ever known — others were working for BP on the cleanup in all different ways. I met a young girl, sipping on the Florabama's signature drink, the Bushwacker, who recently graduated nursing school in Tennessee. She echoed the sentiments of the owner of Outcast Bait and Tackle. She told me of workers she'd had to bandage, but mostly, she lamented the lost opportunity for so many Americans to "enjoy one of the most beautiful parts of our country." This oil spill was a tragedy, and its effect will be felt, in some ways, for many years. However, the south is resilient, and the laidback beauty of the Gulf coast lifestyle will never die. For those of you who have never experienced the Gulf, go. Summer is almost over, but there's still time. And, for those of you who have previously adventured in the glorious white sands, go back. Beneath the surface of the Gulf, I was able to experience the sensation of becoming one with the seemingly-limitless ocean. Suspended in submerged bliss, I let the currents pull my body in opposing directions. I closed my eyes and felt the tingling tug of the oceanic, alien nature embrace my innermost being and I knew, despite the chattering talking heads on the idiot box, everything was going to be OK.

passing, but some people just don't get that if the left lane isn't going 95 mph, maybe they should just slow down. I propose a solution: All cars should have standard side-mounted flamethrowers. That way, anyone coming in hot on the wrong side of the street will instantly realize his or her mistake and, with any luck, fix it. "But Eddie," you may say. "What about those pesky extreme speeders? And those people who go into the left lane and slow to block all the rest of us good citizens who pass where we should?" I applaud your oddly specific forward thinking. I suggest for those who think any less than 90 mph is just too slow, heat-seeking missiles are sure to get an inescapably clear message across. And for those tortoises who believe that slow and steady wins the race, but they're too important to be passed? A harpoon gun attached to a heavy anchor should do the trick. They'll go plenty slowly with their engine block shredded. It shouldn't stop here, though. Be creative. Come up with your own ideas for solutions to the highway's little problems. Tailgater? Mines. Someone cut you off? Bumper saw. Pretty soon everyone's car will be a deathdealing hammer of justice, ready to punish those who just can't figure out how to play nicely with the rest of us. Let's all do our part to make the roads a little safer.

he cool Gulf breeze softly kissed my aching lungs, as I emerged from the crystalline waters. With my scuba mask clinging to my face, I patrolled beneath the rolling surface of the Gulf of Mexico on an exposition to find the remnants of our country's strongest addiction. While I did not find any traces of oil in the water, I observed what seemed like an alien world: schools of whiting embarked on unknown fish-quests we humans cannot seem to grasp, a small jellyfish hung in jiggling limbo and camouflaged sting rays sensed my presence and darted into the abyss. In the months following the now infamous April 20 explosion on the Deepwater Horizon oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico — abruptly ending the lives of 11 workers — the news media relished in the material created by the disaster. Culturally, we feed on bad news. I'm as guilty as anyone else — I spent hours in front of the TV trying to stay up-to-date on the story. Though I have a personal emotional investment in the Gulf, I almost let the media frenzy keep me from visiting a place I love in a time when visitors' support is needed the most. Like every summer of my life, I spent the past week in Perdido Key, Fla., and Orange Beach, Ala., soaking-up ultraviolet rays and reveling in the exquisite natural beauty of fine white sands with the expansive, undulating blue-green waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Despite what the news media wants us all to believe, the world surrounding the Gulf has not ended; British Petroleum's oil slick apocalypse has not destroyed the Gulf lifestyle. "You know, we've been all over the news," said the owner of the Outcast Bait and Tackle Shop in Pensacola, Fla., "but, the truth is, the news has done us all a real disservice. We've been on CNN, we've been interviewed by Katie Couric, everybody. But, this oil spill isn't the end of the world down here. Don‘t pay too much attention to the news. They just need material to fill up their time slots." Though the evening news rattles on woefully every night about the emotional and economic stress this oil spill has caused those individuals who make their living off the tourism industry, their extensive coverage detracts tourists and, ultimately, does more harm than good. As I sat on the beach and stared off into the horizon, I watched multitudes of ships skimming oil in the distance. ATVs and pickup trucks weaved between sun-burned, beer

here's a hidden danger for ISU students returning to Ames, especially those who live out of state: driving. Driving back to Ames, I realized just how much other people can piss me off. There are some bad drivers out there, and you're likely to see some of them on your drive into Ames. Every once in a while, a cop will pull one of them over and give a warning — or if they're really mad, a ticket — but for the most part these monsters go unpunished. The Federal Highway Administration estimates 4,000 to 6,000 people are killed in accidents on our interstate highway system alone. Some of these can probably be accounted for by bad road conditions, weather and other such circumstances, but a good chunk of them can be attributed to irresponsible driving. These people are a menace to society, and not enough is being done to stop them — they just keep doing what they were doing, putting us all in danger. Years ago, a humor columnist named Dave Barry suggested a system wherein cars would shoot other cars with darts, color-coded to indicate various crimes against traffic and humanity. To Dave I say, "You, sir, are too soft." A more aggressive approach is called for here; a simple dart to the bumper will no more stop a dangerous driver than making a snide comment from your car. One of my pet peeves is people who pass in the right-hand lane of an interstate highway. There's a pretty well-established system for

Egg recall

Community

Reports of illness likely to grow

Teens bridge generations with dance for all ages

Farms involved in recall tied to cited business By Mary Clare Jalonick The Associated Press WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Two Iowa farms that recalled more than a half-billion eggs linked to as many as 1,300 cases of salmonella poisoning share suppliers of chickens and feed as well as ties to an Iowa business routinely cited for violating state and federal law. Food and Drug Administration investigators have yet to determine the cause of the salmonella outbreaks at Wright County Egg and Hillandale Farms. The FDA investigation could take months, and sources of contamination are often difficult to ďŹ nd. The number of illnesses, which can be life-threatening, especially to those with weakened immune systems, is expected to increase. The most common symptoms are diarrhea, abdominal cramps and fever eight to 72 hours of eating a contaminated product. The company Quality Egg supplies young chickens and feed to both Wright County Egg and Hillandale Farms. The two share other suppliers, said Jewanna Porter, a spokeswoman for the egg industry, but she did not name them. The salmonella outbreak has raised questions about federal inspections of egg farms. The FDA oversees inspections of shell eggs, while the Agriculture Department is in charge of inspecting other egg products. William D. Marler, a Seattle attorney for a person who ďŹ led suit alleging illness from tainted eggs in a salad at a restaurant in Kenosha, Wis., said Sunday his ďŹ rm has been retained by two dozen families and was representing a woman hospitalized in California. Businessman Austin â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jackâ&#x20AC;? DeCoster owns Wright County Egg and Quality Egg. Wright County Egg recalled 380 million eggs Aug. 13 after it was linked to more than 1,000 cases of salmonella poisoning. A week later, Hillandale Farms recalled 170 million eggs. DeCoster is no stranger to controversy in his food and farm operations: â&#x20AC;&#x201D;In 1994, the state of Iowa assessed at least four separate penalties against DeCoster Farms for environmental violations, many of them involving hog waste. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;In 1997, DeCoster Egg Farms agreed to pay $2 million in ďŹ nes to settle citations

brought in 1996 for health and safety violations at DeCosterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farm in Turner, Maine. The nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s labor secretary at the time, Robert Reich, said conditions were â&#x20AC;&#x153;as dangerous and oppressive as any sweatshop.â&#x20AC;? Reichâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s successor, Alexis Herman, called the state of the farms â&#x20AC;&#x153;simply atrocious,â&#x20AC;? citing unguarded machinery, electrical hazards, exposure to harmful bacteria and other unsanitary conditions. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;In 2000, Iowa designated DeCoster a â&#x20AC;&#x153;habitual violatorâ&#x20AC;? of environmental regulations for problems that included hog manure runoff into waterways. The label made him subject to increased penalties and prohibited him from building new farms. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;In 2002, the federal Equal

Employment Opportunity Commission announced a more than $1.5 million settlement of an employment discrimination lawsuit against DeCoster Farms on behalf of Mexican women who reported they were subjected to sexual harassment, including rape, abuse and retaliation by some supervisory workers at DeCosterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wright County plants. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;In 2007, 51 workers were arrested during an immigration raid at six DeCoster egg farms. His farms had been the subject of at least three previous raids. A spokeswoman for DeCoster, Hinda Mitchell, said Sunday that she had no comment on DeCosterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history of violations and that DeCoster himself would not be available for an interview.

CLEAR LAKE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not unusual, said 18-year-old Josh Randall, to have a 70- or 80-something couple stop him and ask, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Are you going dancing Sunday?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re famous,â&#x20AC;? joked Randall. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talking about a group of Osage teens who regularly ďŹ nd their way to the Surf Ballroom on Sunday â&#x20AC;&#x153;swingâ&#x20AC;? evenings. Thanks to Osage High School instructor Marty Pauley, a growing number of OHS kids are discovering the joys of ballroom dancing. Pauley and her husband have long been enthusiasts. So when students got the idea to have a group dance for a cancer fundraiser in 2009, they asked Pauley to teach them a few steps of swing and the cha-cha. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The four or ďŹ ve who had come in originally told me how much they enjoyed it â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and asked if I could teach them some more,â&#x20AC;? Pauley said. So during the past school year interested students came in at 7:15 a.m. every Friday to learn new steps.

The groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s numbers increased every week. Then the kids discovered the Surf and the ballroom evenings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Swing is our favorite,â&#x20AC;? said Brooke Bodensteiner, 18. Kids began to teach other kids and the crowds at the Surf grew. And, Randall and fellow OHS graduate Hannah Christensen, 18, found themselves even teaching a community education class in ballroom dancing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kids started bringing other kids to the Surf â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and some didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really like it. But most of the time they were hooked,â&#x20AC;? Randall said. Christensen said her generation was inďŹ&#x201A;uenced by dance movies such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dirty Dancing,â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Footloose.â&#x20AC;? On a recent Sunday, girls were dressed in summer frocks, while guys turned out in ties or polo shirts. With grins, couples paired off to join the mostly over60 crowd, working their way around the dance ďŹ&#x201A;oor to the music of Al Pierson and the Guy Lombardo Royal Canadians orchestra. Some music appears to be timeless: The teens â&#x20AC;&#x201D; just like those more than 70 years ago â&#x20AC;&#x201D; jumped up to dance when Glenn Millerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s song â&#x20AC;&#x153;In The Moodâ&#x20AC;? began to play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is absolutely our favorite,â&#x20AC;? Bodensteiner said.

KNOXVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Police say one man is dead following a single-vehicle accident in Knoxville. Authorities say officers who arrived at the scene after 9 a.m. on Sunday found a vehicle that had struck a pole. The driver was unresponsive. A nurse on the scene who witnessed the accident and Knoxville officers began CPR. The man was pronounced dead a short time later at Knoxville Hospital. He was identiďŹ ed only as a 50-year-old Chariton man. Authorities say his name is being withheld pending the notiďŹ cation of family. Police say their investigation is ongoing.

DES MOINES â&#x20AC;&#x201D; An assistant Polk County attorney has been chosen as Iowaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ rst African-American female judge. Romonda Belcher-Ford was selected by Polk Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s district judges from a pool of 20 applicants. The 42-year-old has worked in the Polk County attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office for 15 years. She currently represents the county auditor and recorder and Polk County General Services. The North Carolina native moved to Iowa to attend Drake Law School after getting her undergraduate degree from Howard University in Washington. Belcher-Ford says sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;truly elated.â&#x20AC;?

NEWTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A 63-year-old Newton woman is recovering from severe arm injuries after being attacked by a pit bull. Cora Vande Heiden was walking home from an errand Friday when three dogs surrounded her and one attacked. The dog left severe cuts and puncture wounds on her arm. She was in fair condition after surgery. The dogsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; owner, Beth Audus, says she threw herself between her dog and Vande Heiden and was also attacked. Police euthanized all three pit bulls and another dog owned by Audus. She says the other dogs were â&#x20AC;&#x153;just excited.â&#x20AC;? The dog owners were cited.

Crop dusters keep Iowaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ elds in good health By Matthew Wilde The Associated Press BEAMAN â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Crop dusters keep Iowaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farm ďŹ elds and the economy healthy. The saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;pennies from heavenâ&#x20AC;? certainly doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t refer to aerial spraying. Ag aviation contributes $214 million to the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy because of increased crop productivity, according to a study released last year by the Iowa Department of Transportationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office of Aviation. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not all. Eighty-six percent of Iowaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s general aviation airports support crop dusters, the report said. Those small airďŹ elds contribute more than $400 million to the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy. Despite the positive ďŹ nancial aspects, agriculture aviation officials say the industry has had its fair share of negative publicity this summer. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been several reports in the region of plane and helicopter crashes and pilots accidentally spraying people. Officials involved with ag aviation â&#x20AC;&#x201D; owners, state experts and farmers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; want the public to understand how valuable crop dusters are to the state and that safety is a top priority. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One accident is too many,â&#x20AC;? said Tim McClung, planning and out-

reach manager for the DOTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office of Aviation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the same time, we need to keep it in perspective. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 4 million acres treated by air in Iowa every year. That works out to about 26,000 annual missions.â&#x20AC;?

Farmers often rely on planes and helicopters to apply chemicals to control yield-robbing diseases and pests once plants get too big for ground rigs. Starting in early July, pilots typically have a little more than two months to

get the job done. DOT data show thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 50 aerial spraying companies in the state. An estimated 150 to 200 out-of-state outďŹ ts also stay busy here. Considering the amount of ground

thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s covered in a relatively short amount of time, McClung said crop dusters do a good job. McClung, who also is a pilot, said crop dusting is a difficult, sometimesdangerous job. Aircraft swoop in to spray only feet off the ground. Pilots need to avoid electrical lines, trees, wind turbines and make sure chemicals land on target. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve really been pushing a culture of safety,â&#x20AC;? McClung said. At Hoppe Airspray near Beaman, co-owner Roy Sharp said every precaution is taken to protect pilots and the public.

The Iowa Agricultural Aviation Association helped companies control drift problems, which Hoppe participated in, prior to the season. Crop dusters ďŹ&#x201A;ew to Newton and ďŹ lled aircraft with dyed water and â&#x20AC;&#x153;crop dustedâ&#x20AC;? a simulated ďŹ eld.

Controversy

High school Mosque rallies turn heated athletes sent to hospital Hundreds of demonstrators gather at 9/11 site By Verena Dobnik The Associated Press

The Associated Press McMINNVILLE, Ore. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Ten Oregon high school football players remain hospitalized as theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re treated for a rare softtissue condition that has school authorities puzzled. Eighteen McMinnville High School athletes experienced â&#x20AC;&#x153;compartment syndrome,â&#x20AC;? which caused soreness and swelling in their triceps and high levels of creatine kinase, a protein that can harm the kidneys. Three players had surgery to relieve swelling. Authorities said the cause was not yet known, but the condition can be the result of exercise or the use of certain medications. All but one of the players who became ill worked out last Sunday at the high schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wrestling room, where one player says the temperature reached 120 degrees. Rosemari Davis, the hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief executive officer, said Sunday that the 10 boys still hospitalized were in good condition and would likely be released Monday. Superintendent Maryalice Russell told The Oregonian newspaper she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe the workout from ďŹ rst-year coach Jeff Kearin was excessive. She said she has no evidence that steroids or other supplements were involved. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any information at this time that would indicate thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the case,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m continuing to look at additional information as it may come my way.â&#x20AC;?

NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The proposed mosque near ground zero drew hundreds of feverpitch demonstrators Sunday, with opponents carrying signs associating Islam with blood, supporters shouting, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Say no to racist fear!â&#x20AC;? and American ďŹ&#x201A;ags waving on both sides. The two leaders of the construction project, meanwhile, defended their plans, though one suggested that organizers might eventually be willing to discuss an alternative site. The other, Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, said during a Middle East trip that the attention generated by the project is actually positive. Around the corner from the cordoned-off old building that is to become a 13-story Islamic community center and mosque, police separated the two groups of demonstrators. There were no reports of physical clashes but there were some nose-to-nose con-

Lawsuit

Gulf damage claims chief says no-sue rule was his idea By Harry R. Weber The Associated Press NEW ORLEANS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The new administrator for damage claims from Gulf oil spill victims said Sunday it was his idea, not BPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, to require that anyone who receives a ďŹ nal settlement from the $20 billion compensation fund give up the right to sue the oil giant. But Ken Feinberg told reporters that he has not yet decided whether the no-sue requirement will extend to other companies that may be responsible for the worst offshore oil spill in U.S. history. He insisted that payouts from the claims facility he will run will be more generous than those from any court. Feinberg also ran the government compensation fund created after the 9/11 attacks, and there was a similar no-sue provision. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is not in your interest to tie up you and the courts in years of uncertain protracted litigation when there is an alternative that has been created,â&#x20AC;? Feinberg said. He added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I take the position, if I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ďŹ nd you eligible, no court will ďŹ nd you eligible.â&#x20AC;? Any individual or business that receives a short-term emergency payment â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one to six months â&#x20AC;&#x201D; from the oil spill claims facility that launches Monday will still be able to sue BP. Feinberg said BP, which had been handling claims up until this point, has paid out roughly $375 million in claims since the April 20 rig explosion on the Gulf of Mexico that killed 11 workers and spewed 206 million gallons of oil from BPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s runaway undersea well. The latest guidelines for the victims com-

pensation fund say the nearer you are geographically to the oil spill and the more closely you depend on the Gulf of Mexicoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s natural resources, the better chance you have of getting a share of the money. Feinberg said that the most â&#x20AC;&#x153;problematicâ&#x20AC;? claims will be from people who work in the tourism business, especially hotels. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to have to draw some tough lines,â&#x20AC;? Feinberg said. The new claims facility run by Feinberg will take over from BP the processing of claims by individuals and businesses. If a person ďŹ led a claim with BP that has not been resolved yet, they must ďŹ le a new claim form with Feinberg, but any supporting documentation they previously submitted will be automatically forwarded. If a person received money from BP, they can get up to six additional months of compensation from the new claims facility. If they got nothing from BP, they can reďŹ le their claim with the new facility and have it reviewed again. Feinberg, who was picked by President Barack Obama to operate the oil spill fund, said that in the next few weeks he would release details on how much he is being paid for his work. A temporary cap placed on the runaway well in mid-July has kept any more oil from spewing. The ďŹ nal sealing of the well should take place after Labor Day. Engineers are preparing to ďŹ rst remove the failed blowout preventer â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a key piece of evidence â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and replace it with another one. After that, they will complete the drilling of a relief well, then will plug the runaway well for good by pumping mud and cement into the bottom.

Education

Public schools with a price School opens with a price tag of $578 million By Christina Hoag The Associated Press LOS ANGELES — Next month’s opening of the Robert F. Kennedy Community Schools will be auspicious for a reason other than its both storied and infamous history as the former Ambassador Hotel, where the Democratic presidential contender was assassinated in 1968. With an eye-popping price tag of $578 million, it will mark the inauguration of the nation’s most expensive public school ever. The K-12 complex to house 4,200 students has raised eyebrows across the country as the creme de la creme of “Taj Mahal” schools, $100 million-plus campuses boasting both architectural panache and deluxe amenities. “There’s no more of the old, windowless cinderblock schools of the ’70s where kids felt, ‘Oh, back to jail,’” said Joe Agron, editor-in-chief of American School & University, a school construction journal. “Districts want a showpiece for the community, a really impressive environment for learning.” Not everyone is similarly enthusiastic. “New buildings are nice, but when they’re run by the same people who’ve

given us a 50 percent dropout rate, they’re a big waste of taxpayer money,” said Ben Austin, executive director of Parent Revolution who sits on the California Board of Education. “Parents aren’t fooled.” At RFK, the features include fine art murals and a marble memorial depicting the complex’s namesake, a manicured public park, a state-of-the-art swimming pool and preservation of pieces of the original hotel. Partly by circumstance and partly by design, the Los Angeles Unified School District has emerged as the mogul of Taj Mahals. The RFK complex follows on the heels of two other LA schools among the nation’s costliest — the $377 million Edward R. Roybal Learning Center, which opened in 2008, and the $232 million Visual and Performing Arts High School that debuted in 2009. The pricey schools have come during a sensitive period for the nation’s secondlargest school system: Nearly 3,000 teachers have been laid off over the past two years, the academic year and programs have been slashed. The district also faces a $640 million shortfall and some schools persistently rank among the nation’s lowest performing. Los Angeles is not alone, however, in building big.

Some of the most expensive schools are found in low-performing districts — New York City has a $235 million campus; New Brunswick, N.J., opened a $185 million high school in January. Nationwide, dozens of schools have surpassed $100 million with amenities including atriums, orchestra-pit auditoriums, food courts, even bamboo nooks. The extravagance has led some to wonder where the line should be drawn and whether more money should be spent on teachers. “Architects and builders love this stuff, but there’s a little bit of a lack of discipline here,” said Mary Filardo, executive director of 21st Century School Fund in Washington, D.C., which promotes urban school construction. Some experts say it’s not all flourish and that children learn better in more pleasant surroundings. Many schools incorporate large windows to let in natural light and install energy-saving equipment, spending more upfront for reduced bills later. Cafeterias are getting fancier, seeking to retain students who venture off campus. Wireless Internet and other hightech installations have become standard features in these new high-budget schools. Some pricey projects have had political fallout including mayors not seeking reelection and construction spending being reined in by state Treasurers.

Nation briefs Plane carrying three park rangers goes down in Southwest Alaska ANCHORAGE, Alaska — A small plane carrying four people including three park rangers is missing in southwest Alaska. A Coast Guard HC-130 crew is among searchers looking for the Dehavilland Beaver between Swikshak Bay and King Salmon, about 285 miles southwest of Anchorage. The Coast Guard says the plane was carrying Katmai National Park rangers. It was reported missing after it did not arrive in King Salmon as expected. Coast Guard officials say the plane left Swikshak Bay at 2:45 p.m. Saturday for a flight that takes less than an hour.

D.C. sniper Malvo refuses to talk to detectives about additional shootings ROCKVILLE, Md. — Police in Maryland say convicted D.C. sniper Lee Boyd Malvo won’t talk to detectives about his claim that he and his partner had additional victims across the country. In a phone interview for A&E’s “Aftermath With William Shatner,” Malvo said he and Malvo his partner, John Allen Muhammad, shot 42 people in 2002. The pair had been linked to 27 shootings across the country, including 10 fatal attacks in the Washington area in 2002. Montgomery County Assistant Police Chief Drew Tracy wanted to examine the truth of Malvo’s claims, but he says Malvo won’t meet with detectives. Malvo also won’t give them permission to talk to a psychiatrist who says Malvo told him the same information. Malvo is serving a life sentence with no parole in Virginia. Muhammad was executed in Virginia last year.

Drug war violence spikes President Karzai promises to uphold women’s rights

By Oswald Alonso Associated Press Writer CUERNAVACA, Mexico — The decapitated bodies of four men were hung from a bridge Sunday in this central Mexican city besieged by ﬁghting between two drug lords. A gang led by kingpin Hector Beltran Leyva took responsibility for the killings in a message left with the bodies, the attorney general’s ofﬁce of Mexico state said in a statement. The beheaded and mutilated bodies were hung by their feet early Sunday from the bridge in Cuernavaca. Cuernavaca has become a battleground for control of the Beltran Leyva cartel since its leader, Arturo Beltran Leyva, was killed there in a December shootout with Marines. Mexican authorities say the cartel split between a faction led by Hector Beltran Leyva, brother of Arturo, and another led by Edgar Valdez Villareal, a U.S.-born kingpin known as “the Barbie.” The message left with the bodies threatened: “This is what will happen to all those who support the traitor Edgar Valdez Villareal”

By Robert H. Reid Associated Press Writer KABUL, Afghanistan — President Hamid Karzai gave assurances Sunday that the rights of Afghan women will not be sacriﬁced in pursuit of a peace deal with the Taliban. Karzai said he was willing to talk with Taliban ﬁgures who break with al-Qaida and other terrorist groups and accept the Afghan constitution. The president acknowledged fears among Afghan women’s groups that their political, economic and social gains might be eroded under a future peace agreement with the Taliban, which banned women from most jobs and The beheaded bodies of two men hang by their feet from an underpass in Cuernavaca, Mexico, on Sunday.

Authorities said the four men had been kidnapped days earlier. In western Mexico, police found the body of a U.S. citizen inside a car along the highway between the Paciﬁc resorts of Acapulco and Zihuatanejo. A report from Guerrero state police said the man was shot to death and had identiﬁcation indicating he was from Georgia. Police said they had no suspects and had not determined a motive.

Guerrero state has been wracked by drug-gang violence. There have also been a series of deadly carjackings this year along highways in the state. Mexico has seen unprecedented gang violence since President Felipe Calderon stepped up the ﬁght against drug trafficking when he took office in December 2006. Since then, more than 28,000 people have been killed in violence tied to Mexico’s drug war.

education during their years in power. Those concerns were heightened last week when Taliban militants in northern Afghanistan stoned a young couple to death for adultery in the ﬁrst conﬁrmed use of the punishment here since the hard-line Islamist regime was ousted in 2001. Karzai said he was in “deep, deep shock” over the stoning and would ensure that women’s representation in peace talks would be “solid and meaningful.” He said the Afghan people must make sure the gains made by women “in political, social and economic walks of life” since the fall of the Taliban were not only protected “but are promoted and advanced further.”

UK official decries video game with Taliban role LONDON — A video game that allows players to adopt the role of the Taliban is a “tasteless product,” Britain’s defense secretary said Sunday, calling on retailers to show their support for troops by not selling it. Liam Fox said he was “disgusted and angry” by “Medal of Honor,” produced by Electronic Arts Inc.

“At the hands of the Taliban, children have lost fathers and wives have lost husbands. It’s shocking that someone would think it acceptable to recreate the acts of the Taliban against British soldiers,” he said in a statement. The company did not respond to e-mails from the Associated Press, but spokes-

woman Amanda Taggart was quoted by the Sunday Times as saying the game’s format “merely reﬂects the fact that every conﬂict has two sides.” “We give gamers the opportunity to play both sides. Most of us have been doing this since we were seven: someone plays cop, someone must be robber,” the newspaper quoted her as saying.

Flooding kills four in China Hip-hop singer Jean refuses to abandon hope

By Alexa Olesen Associated Press Writer BEIJING — Flooding killed four people and forced the evacuation of 94,000 others in the northern Chinese port city of Dandong after heavy rains caused the Yalu river to breach its banks, state media said Sunday. Rain continued to fall Sunday in the region, which borders North Korea, but the official Xinhua News Agency reported that water levels along the Yalu and its tributaries dropped below flood warning levels. Xinhua said four people died, including a couple in their 70s and a mother and son, after their homes were swept away by flash floods. An official with the Water Resources Department in Liaoning province, where Dandong is located, confirmed that four people had died though he was unable to provide details. He refused to give his name because he was not authorized to speak with the media. On Saturday, floodwaters punctured a dike between the river and an eco-

nomic development zone in Dandong, inundating many neighborhoods. North Korea’s official Korean Central News Agency said torrential rain and water from the overﬂowing Yalu swamped houses, public buildings and farmland in more than ﬁve villages near Sinuiju, the city opposite Dandong. The report described

Sinuiju and the surrounding area as having been “severely affected” by the ﬂooding and said officials, the military and ordinary civilians were involved in rescue work. Much of North Korea’s trade with the world passes through the city, forming a vital lifeline for the isolated, economically struggling country. For China, the Dandong

ﬂooding is the latest disaster in the country’s worst ﬂood season in over a decade. Landslides caused by heavy rains have smothered communities in western China and accounted for most of the more than 2,500 people killed. Authorities in the northwestern province of Gansu on Sunday called off rescue efforts for 330 people still missing after an Aug. 8 mudslide.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Hip-hop singer Wyclef Jean said Sunday that he is not abandoning his presidential bid just yet and will try to get the courts to overturn a decision disqualifying him from the race. Speaking to The Associated Press by telephone from his home in Croix des Bouquets, Jean said his lawyers will ﬁle an appeal with the national electoral dispute office. Jean said that he has a document “which shows everything is correct” and that he and his aides “feel that what is going on here has everything to do with Haitian politics.” “They are trying to keep us out of the race,” he said, referring to Haiti’s political establishment. Haiti’s elections board rejected Jean’s candidacy Friday night — presumably because

it decided he had not met residency requirements, although the board did not cite a specific reason. Under Jean Haitian law, a presidential candidate must have lived in the country for five consecutive years leading up to the election. Jean has argued that he was not required to comply with the law so strictly because after President Rene Preval appointed him as roving ambassador in 2007, he was allowed to travel and live outside the country. The 40-year-old singer said that he is appealing the Haitian board’s decision on the basis that it rejected his candidacy before the national electoral dispute office, or BCEN, could issue a final ruling on the residency issue.

Growers: USDA must act, prevent sugar supply issue By Michael J. Crumb Associated Press Writer DES MOINES — A judge's ruling halting planting of genetically modified sugar beet seeds has left growers feeling uncertain as they wait for federal officials to decide the next step for a crop that provides half of the nation's sugar supply. Duane Grant, chairman of the board at the Boise, Idahobased Snake River Sugar Co., said if a solution can't be worked out to use the genetically modified seed, his company and its growers fear there isn't enough conventional seed to plant next year. The company produces about 20 percent of the nation's beet sugar. "There has been no incentive, no market, no demand for conventional seed since 2008 and we believe there is not enough conventional seed available for our growers to plant a full crop in 2011," he said. U.S. District Court Judge Jeffrey White in California issued his ruling Aug. 13 that put on hold future planting of sugar beets using genetically modified seeds. White's ruling allows this year's crop to be harvested and processed, but the current seed crop can't be planted until the U.S. Department of Agriculture reviews the effect the genetically altered crops could have on other food. That could take several years. Until then, genetically modified seeds can be stored. At issue are seeds developed by St. Louis-based Monsanto Co., used to grow about 95 percent of the sugar beet crop. The seeds are engineered to withstand the weed killer Roundup, allowing farmers to reduce the use of other chemicals and limit the practice of tilling fields to kill weeds. Monsanto seeds also dominate corn and soybean production, but experts said last week's decision is limited to sugar beets. Some groups hope, though, that the ruling could prompt the USDA to take a broader look at questions involving genetically modified crops. Monsanto referred questions to Luther Markwart, executive vice president of the American Sugar Beet Growers Association. He said the next move is up to the USDA. "The message we're giving people is you have to be patient and let this play out," Markwart said.

Young and cash-strapped By Jennifer Icklan CNN wire service NEW YORK — If you're in your 20s and 30s and feel cashstrapped, you're not alone. Between student loans, car loans, credit card debt and other expenses it's getting tougher to make a budget and stick to it. "Between big credit card debt and huge college loans that average more than $20,000 for the typical college grad, young adults are more financially stressed than ever before," said Lynnette Khalfani-Cox, author of "Zero Debt for College Grads." So, if you're looking to have fun with friends without going broke, here are some ideas. Go out for a nice meal only one night a week, especially if you're in a big city, said Nancy Trejos, personal finance columnist for The Washington Post and author of "Hot Broke Messes: How to Have your Latte and Drink it Too." Many restaurants offer happy hour specials or dinner discounts such as half-off appetizers or kids-eat-free-nights to get diners in on slow weeknights. Also, be economical when looking at that menu. Instead of over-ordering, share appetizers or entrees with friends, but check if the restaurant has a sharing plate fee. If you're really looking to cut back on your bill, Trejos advises having drinks before you go out — that way you won't spend so much on alcohol. If dining out isn't in your budget, ask your friends over to do potluck dinners or picnics on the weekends. "It's a cheap way to have fun and trust me they'll return the invitation," Trejos said. Coupons aren't taboo anymore. There are a number of websites offering daily deals and discounts on everything from restaurants and spa treatments to wine tastings and events. Check out sites like Groupon.com, LivingSocial.com, and Yipit.com for offers. Also, there might be some free events, concerts, museum days and festivals going on right in your backyard for free. Go to free-attractions.com or stretcher.com to look up what's available in your state. For example, the 90acre St. Louis Zoo in Missouri is one of the few large zoos in the country that charges no admission fee. Bringing up your money troubles to friends can be uncomfortable, but you might find they're in the same boat, too. "Don't feel like you're being a party pooper by saying you can't hit the clubs every week or go out to that pricey new restaurant. Chances are they're thinking the same thing deep down, but they may simply be willing to pay with plastic." Trejos also suggests changing your definition of fun. "Fun doesn't always have to involve spending money on a restaurant. Running, bike riding, and hiking are all fun activities that don't cost a dime," she said.

Happy Joe's closes for good By Micaela.Cashman @iowastatedaily.com On Wednesday, Aug. 11, Hank Kohler, owner of Happy Joe's, waded through the murky water higher than his knees that enveloped his business. Across the street, on the east side of South Duff Avenue, the massive Walmart lot looked more like a serene lake with a giant building in it than a temporary home for hundreds of cars. Walmart opened two days later. Happy Joe's is closed for good. "We fought the good fight and worked so hard to protect our business, but we couldn't do it," Kohler said. In his years of owning Happy Joe's, Kohler became somewhat of a flood expert. He explained that when the restaurant flooded in 1993, he had to learn to protect his business. "In ’95, we built an 8-foot wall," he said. Four feet of the wall sat above ground, while the other 4 feet were built into the ground. An 8-foot opening in the back and a 16-foot opening in the front allowed customers to enter the building, but the wall extended around the whole building. Kohler said that since the flood of 1993, whenever Ames was in danger of flooding, he and his coworkers would use wooden planks, plastic, sandbags and pumps to prevent the inside of the restaurant from flooding.

"We haven't had a drop of water in the restaurant since then," Kohler said. All that changed when the water level of Squaw Creek rose to 16 feet Aug. 11. Kohler said he knew he had to evacuate the building when the city told him the water would get two feet higher. Eve Doi, vice president of operations and communications for the Ames Chamber of Commerce, said that while most businesses are recover-

ing quickly from the recordbreaking ﬂood, help is still needed throughout the business community. She said donations of clean-up supplies such as mops, fans, work gloves, dehumidiﬁers and disinfectant are still needed, and the chamber is calling on any organization to help. Kohler understood exactly why places like Walmart and Target, both just across the street from Happy Joe's, re-

covered so quickly. "They sit 8 feet higher than me," he said. "I guarantee you anyone at our elevation isn't open." Also, Walmart has a staff several times larger than Kohler's to help get things back in order. Denny Dalles, manager at Walmart, said the corporate office is always prepared for natural disasters. He said they have a group of people devoted to emergencies who respond quickly to crises. "The corporate office hires an outside cleaning crew to take care of [ﬂood recovery], and our normal local parking lot sweepers helped out as well," Dalles said. But a small staff did not prevent Kohler from trying to save his business. Once Kohler and his crew could get back into Happy Joe's, they salvaged as much as they could and had every intention of reopening as soon as possible. "We have cleaned up and recovered as much as we can for equipment and furniture," Kohler said the following Monday. "I have ﬂood insurance, but at this time we still don't know what our options are." The next day, Kohler closed Happy Joe's doors for the last time. Across the street, Walmart's many lights continue to shine 24 hours a day, seven days a week. — Flavors writer Devon O’Brien also contributed to this article.

Fighting Burrito moves to Welch Avenue By Micaela.Cashman @iowastatedaily.com Fighting Burrito opened its new home at 117 Welch Ave. last week. The location previously housed a Dairy Queen and a smoothie and ice cream shop. The restaurant opened at 2712 Lincoln Way in 2004 and was an instant success. That location is now closed and might hold a coffee shop or bakery next, said Fighting Burrito owner Matthew Goodman. Goodman said he wanted to move to Welch Avenue to attract more customers. He said that at the previous location, most of his customers were older ISU students who lived off campus. His restaurant was the furthest Campustown location from Welch Avenue, and he conjectured that not many students wanted to walk all the way there for food. He added that by moving to Welch Avenue, he could also appeal to local residents and professors. "The closer we are to the district," Goodman said, "the more business we'll have. We do very well late-night, and the new location will support that." While late-night business was his specialty, he wants to increase business during regular lunch and dinner hours as well.

"We still offer the same satisfying burritos made from fresh, quality ingredients, but our location on Welch Avenue gives us higher visibility," Goodman said. "Ames has been great to Fighting Burrito, and we are excited to make

this reinvestment in the community." Fighting Burrito is open from 11 a.m. to 3 a.m. Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and Thursday; 11 a.m. – 9 p.m. on Tuesday; and 11 a.m. – 4 a.m. Friday and Saturday. Learn more about the restaurant at its website, www.theﬁghtingburrito.com.

A tale of two cities

Floodwaters close roads, businesses around Ames, but community survives water boil alert, begins cleanup process By Jessica.Opoien @iowastatedaily.com

t was a tale of two cities as Ames residents discovered that days of rain had split the town in two. In some areas, people could come and go freely — but for others, the only way out was by boat. Storms descended on Ames the evening of Aug. 10. The deluge was not unlike those the town had seen in the days before, but the rain that fell from Tuesday into Wednesday — 3.86 inches — was enough to

push flooding to record levels. The South Skunk River at U.S. Highway 30 crested at about 10 a.m. Aug. 11, setting a new record at 26.72 feet. The previous record, 25.57 feet, was recorded on June 27, 1975. The Squaw Creek at Lincoln Way crested at about 8 a.m. Aug. 11, at 18.13 feet — falling shy of the record, 18.54 feet, set on June 9, 1993. As the floodwaters began to recede, Ames residents and businesses felt the impact. People were evacuated from their homes and workplaces. A boil order sent

people flocking to grocery stores to prepare for the impending limits on water consumption. Four days after the boil order was instated, it was lifted with a notice that all water samples had tested negative for bacteria. The costs of damage to facilities such as Iowa State’s Hilton Coliseum and some local businesses remain unknown. Cleaning service vans are now a familiar sight around Ames, as businesses attempt to repair and reopen. Some, like Happy Joe’s, have closed their doors for good.

ISU athletics have taken a hit — the volleyball and soccer teams have been sent to play on fields and courts away from home. A Presidential Disaster Declaration for Individual Assistance was granted to 29 Iowa counties, including Story County. Aid from the Federal Emergency Management Agency will come for those who need it, but for some, recovery won’t begin until the floodwaters have dried. This section is a look back at the Iowa State Daily’s coverage, as it was published at the time, of the August 2010 flood.

Recover and rebuild

Practices relocated

Hilton takes on Facility damages mass floodwater need assessment By Jeremiah.Davis Kari.Dockum Torey.Robinson @iowastatedaily.com Article as published on Flood Day 1, Aug. 11 Women’s basketball coach Bill Fennelly was at Hilton Coliseum on Wednesday and witnessed a “sad” scene: the basketball and volleyball court rising with the floodwaters. “It’s hard not to cry a little bit. A lot of people have worked really hard,” he said. “People changed offices, and there’s a lot of good things going on in that building.” Fennelly said the usual eight-minute trip from his home to Hilton took an hour Wednesday morning. The water has risen to a height between 6 and 8 feet, likely destroying locker rooms and threatening to reach the basketball offices. Because of the flooding, the volleyball team has moved practice to West Towne Courts, at 1005 Dickinson Ave. Volleyball coach Christy Johnson-Lynch said she and her staff were also busy helping players find new dorms. “It’s not pretty right now,” she said. Fennelly talked to Johnson-Lynch and was unsure about what’s next for Hilton Coliseum. “I’m sure that [the volleyball team] is going

to have some long-term discussions,” he said. “I know today, when I was with Christy, they were trying to find some place to practice. I don’t know what they’ll do.” Fennelly said he doesn’t think the flooding will affect the women’s basketball practice schedule. “We don’t practice until October, so we have a little time,” he said. “But in the short term, your focus has to be just hoping that structurally the building is fine.” Men’s basketball coach Fred Hoiberg was not able to get to Hilton Coliseum on Wednesday and said he doesn’t anticipate getting there later in the day due to road closures. Hoiberg doesn’t believe the flooding will affect the men’s basketball team, though. “With the new practice facility, we’ll be fine,” he said. “It shouldn’t affect us too much.” Hoiberg was on the team after the flooding in 1993 and said things returned to normal fairly quickly. “It had more of an effect on us because we didn’t have a practice facility back then,” he said. Hoiberg said he doesn’t foresee any longterm damage that might prevent the team from playing there this season. “I remember the last time, they made strides very quickly as far as getting everything back in order,” he said. “I’m confident they’ll do quick work and get Hilton back rolling here soon.”

before recovery By Jake.Lovett @iowastatedaily.com Article as published on Flood Day 2, Aug. 12 The wooden floor inside Hilton Coliseum floated on top of an estimated 12 feet of water Wednesday. Thanks to crews pumping water out of the building since 9 a.m. Thursday, the water level was estimated to be down to 10 feet by Thursday afternoon. ISU associate athletic director Nick Britton said the athletic department will work to remove all of the water from the building before assessing the damage further. “We’ve got to get all this water out and then assess the situation and get everybody in here that we need to help us do that,” Britton said. Britton said the timetable surrounding water removal depended on a number of things, including whether the water level comes up again with the predicted rainfall Friday. He also said the crews may employ the use of more pumps later in the removal process. The flooding not only has caused damage in Hilton, but has completely flooded the ISU

Soccer Complex, forcing both the volleyball and soccer squads to find other locations to prepare for their upcoming seasons. Steve Malchow, senior associate athletic director for communications, said the ISU volleyball team has been conducting practice at West Towne Courts and the soccer team is considering moving practice to some outdoor fields near Ankeny. In the meantime, both the soccer and football teams have moved some practices to the Bergstrom Indoor Facility. The water inside the coliseum has left the Cyclones’ first volleyball match, the Cardinal vs. Gold scrimmage on Aug. 21, in doubt. However, following the scrimmage, the Cyclones’ first regular season match at home is not until Sept. 3. Meanwhile, the ISU soccer team has a match scheduled Aug. 20, but due to the condition of the field the game likely will have to be moved. Malchow dismissed Jack Trice Stadium as an option for the soccer match, saying “football tears it up anyway.” “We’re looking at all of our options right now, but the immediate thing is trying to take care of all of their practices,” Malchow said.

>>ATHLETICS.p2B Going forward, no timetables have been laid out for repairs to Hilton or any other damaged facilities. Right now, the extent of damages are not even known as the lower levels of the arena are still underwater. “It’s a little frustrating because we still don’t know what we’re up against,” Malchow said. “It’s this week’s challenge. It’s a significant one, but we’ve got no option. We’ve got to deal with it.” Several key aspects of the arena are still underwater, including the locker rooms, the production rooms used for running the coliseum’s scoreboards and the new volleyball offices, which hadn’t even been completed prior to the flooding. Malchow estimated the new volleyball offices would be “totalled,” while the locker rooms are “probably toast.” Athletic department employees also guessed that several smaller objects — such as media monitors and training equipment — also were destroyed, the cost of which “adds up.” “We’re a resilient bunch,” Malchow said. “This is a tough thing we’re going to have to battle together, but there are some strongminded people in this athletic department and we’ll survive this, too. It’s a challenge, but one that we have to embrace and we’ll succeed and make our way through it.” — Jack Trice Stadium is one of few ISU athletic facilities not greatly affected by the flooding, and Malchow said there have been no significant damages noticed at the stadium. While nothing at the stadium will keep Iowa State from matching up with Northern Illinois on Sept. 2, Britton said that water in the surrounding areas may force a change in parking locations. “We have general parking lots and Cyclone Club lots that park on the grass, and they’re flooded right now,” Britton said. Some of the technical operations for Jack Trice’s scoreboard are run out of Hilton Coliseum, adding to potential snags leading up to the season. “There are a lot of pieces we need to evaluate in the coming days and weeks to see where we’re at,” Malchow said. — Malchow said the ISU athletic ticket office will be closed Friday, to allow for repairs to be made in that facility. The ticket offices will be open for operation again on Monday.

Athletes help efforts

Football players aid in sandbagging By Jeremiah.Davis Kari.Dockum Torey.Robinson @iowastatedaily.com Article as published on Flood Day 1, Aug. 11 The football team aided in flooding efforts Wednesday morning by placing sandbags

around the Jacobson Building and the surrounding area. Coach Paul Rhoads said players arrived for team activities at 6 a.m. and immediately began helping in the effort. “Some guys were here all night and the rest of us got here early this morning,” Rhoads said. “Those football players that were here before the roads

closed ... as the water started to rise, we went to work and started sandbagging.” Rhoads said nothing inside the Jacobson Building had flooded yet. He also said that as long as the indoor practice field stays dry, the team can practice and will do so Wednesday afternoon. “Right now we’re waiting

for the water to hold and begin to recede,” Rhoads said. “We’re obviously not doing anything we were scheduled to do today at this point, but it won’t put us behind.” The water won’t stop practice. Regardless of the condition of the practice field, “we’ll figure out something,” Rhoads said.

Commentary

Flood tests strength of Cyclone athletics Teams scramble to regroup, officials optimistic about rebuilding after record rainfall destroys various properties By Jeremiah.Davis @iowastatedaily.com Article as published on Flood Day 3, Aug. 13 It’s hard to believe that just a few days ago one of the biggest concerns the people of Ames had was how to deal with road construction. Now? Now it’s hard to find drinkable water. The old saying goes, “You don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone.” That couldn’t be more evident today. Ames and Iowa State are facing the toughest challenge they’ve seen in recent memory. On Wednesday, I arrived in Ames to the utter devastation on University Avenue and around Hilton Coliseum and Jack Trice Stadium. It was a truly sad sight to see. My feelings echoed that of women’s basketball coach Bill Fennelly, who said, “It’s hard not to cry a little bit.” And now, days after torrential rains rocked Ames, Iowa State and the Ames community have to regroup and begin to rebuild. How fast it gets done and how much it will cost is anyone’s guess. As of Thursday afternoon, water inside Hilton Coliseum was approximately 10 feet high, or just below the scoreboards in the corners of the lower level. Hilton staff

had four large pumps running, trying to remove water, but with such an amount and only four pumps, there’s no telling how long that will take. Assistant Athletic Director Nick Britton led various members of the media on a brief look at Hilton on Thursday, and when asked how long he thought it might take to drain the water, he gave an exasperated laugh, shrugged his shoulders and said, “I have no idea.” That theme — one of uncertainty and doubt — is one common amongst ISU officials. They’re just as confused, frustrated and exhausted as anyone, maybe more so in some cases. With the water at its current level, it’s likely that all the offices and locker rooms on the lower levels of Hilton are destroyed. It begs the question: How much will it all cost? But that’s just one more unanswerable question. Until the water is removed and they can assess the situation, there simply is no way of knowing exactly how much it will end up being. However, they remain as upbeat as possible. Steve Malchow, senior associate athletic director for communications, was also at the mini-tour of Hilton on Thursday afternoon. He joked that they had wanted to renovate the locker rooms anyway.

But Malchow did stress the gravity of the task ahead. The athletic department has two programs that are immediately affected by the flooding. The volleyball team has been forced to relocate to West Towne Courts, and the women’s soccer team will have to as well, as their field — along with Lied Recreation Athletic Center — is submerged. Malchow said the immediate worry is where the teams will practice, and they’ll worry about games second. But with ISU soccer having its opener Aug. 20, there is precious little time in which to figure things out. Looking forward, there is little doubt amongst those within the athletic department that things will be fixed and return to normal. Tailgaters may have to deal with mosquitoes and park in the grass somewhere, but don’t doubt that those who support and love Iowa State will continue to do so. Until then, it’s up to Mother Nature to decide if more action has to be taken. It’s times like these when the true character and resiliency of a university and its members come out. I think Bill Fennelly said it best on Twitter: “Love this quote--if it truly means something you WILL find a way-if not you will find an excuse. We WILL find a way- NO excuses at Iowa State.”

By Jake.Lovett @iowastatedaily.com Article as published on Flood Day 3, Aug. 13 Numerous workers were inside Lied Recreation Athletic Center on Wednesday, Aug. 15, cleaning up floodwaters and other damage caused by recent flooding. Mike Giles, director of Recreation Services since Tuesday, June 1, and crews from ServiceMaster have been working since Tuesday, Aug. 14 recovering from the estimated 18-24 inches of water that was inside the building. “Pretty much, the entire first floor has been compromised,” Giles said. Giles said all of the wooden racquet ball courts and carpeting in Recreation Services offices have all been destroyed and will need replacing. “At some point, those will have to come out and go back in,” Giles said. Nearly all of the equipment storage areas on the first floor will likely need repaired or replaced in the coming weeks, as well. The first-floor turf has also been removed and must be replaced while the track will be repaired for use by the ISU track and field teams this spring and be evaluated further following the season. “We’ve lost little things to big things,” Giles said. “It’s not really a matter at this point to be able to pinpoint specifics.” Giles said that all sandbagging efforts done at Lied were “completely ineffective,” as some areas outside the building had water levels well above the height of the sandbags. There was damage to the roll-up door going onto the track, as water got behind the sandbags and pressure on the door “basically pushed the door in.” Giles said he thought the damage to the door was the main breach into the building, but also indicated there was water “bubbling up” from the sub-structure of the building

and said they couldn’t be sure of the main source of the breach. “It wasn’t just a matter of the water coming, it was coming from all around,” Giles said. Recreation Service staff members were first inside the building between 7 and 8 p.m. on the night of Friday, Aug. 11, when flooding initially occurred, and service crews began cleanup the following morning. Crews opened doors to the building and allowed water to flow out on Aug. 12, meaning there has been no pumping of water as has been done at Hilton Coliseum. Lied once again opened to students on Monday, Aug. 16, but access was limited to the third floor and first- and second-floor restrooms. There will be no access to either the thirdor first-floor tracks, the climbing wall, racquet ball courts or locker rooms until further notice. Giles said Recreation Services first must evaluate safety of students — i.e., mold and bacteria in the building — before giving students access to the those areas. Giles said Beyer Hall received no damage in the storm and was opened again Monday. Further extensive damage was suffered on the outdoor intramural fields, such as the ones next to Maple-Willow-Larch Halls and the southwest fields near Jack Trice Stadium. The southwest fields were what Giles described as “debris fields,” as the areas not submerged in water were littered with portable toilets and other debris that drifted to the fields. Recreation Services has begun working with the university on insurance claims to help finance repair and recovery for damaged facilities. Giles said the department would begin meeting with adjusters to determine the extent of the damage.

Iowa State Center

Extent of damage remains unclear By Dylan.Boyle @iowastatedaily.com Article as published on Flood Day 3, Aug. 13 Officials with Iowa State Center will have to wait until water in the Scheman Building mechanical room is pumped out to determine the extent of damage to the building and how long it will be before the building reopens. Mark North, director of Iowa State Center, said administrative offices on the ground floor of the Scheman Building took on about 3 to 4 feet of water after Tuesday night’s storm. The first and second floors of the building didn’t take on any water. Crews from ServiceMaster have been working to pump out water in the mechanical room and installed an air conditioning line up to the Brunier Art Museum on the second floor. With water in the mechanical room, the Scheman Building has no power, no air conditioning and no lighting, he said. North said he couldn’t speculate on the cost of damages to the building since facilities staff will have to determine the condition of electrical and air conditioning units submerged in the mechanical room. After the flood of 1993, North said the units in the Scheman Building were replaced with waterproof units, and he hopes it is only a matter of washing and drying them. He said the flood damage is very comparable to the 1993 flood, as water levels were almost the same outside and inside the building. Until the

room is dry, it is unclear how long recovery will take. “A lot is just going to depend on what we find and when we get the water out of the mechanical room,” he said. “Worst-case scenario, it could be six to eight weeks.” A berm dike installed around the MapleWillow-Larch residence halls after the 1993 flood saved the building from water damage Aug. 11, and North said the idea of a similar system around the Iowa State Center wouldn’t be a bad idea. “It’s been discussed a number of times, in reality that’s a question that really needs to be answered by the administration,” he said. “Personally, I would love it because I don’t like doing this.” North said Iowa State Center staff had been in the building and were going through wet items to determine if they were worth salvaging. Some files, he said, will be lost for good. The staff has relocated its office to CY Stephens Auditorium. As for events in Scheman, North said they are currently evaluating the size and number of events scheduled and trying to move them to other places in Ames before canceling them. Fisher Theater, which had no damage, and Stephens Auditorium are currently up and running. Stephens did have some water from a sanitary sewer backup caused by rain Monday night that escalated during the storm Tuesday night. North expects events in Stephens to go forward as planned.

Food service

Dining’s dampened Floods batter local eateries By Devon.OBrien @iowastatedaily.com

Article as published on Flood Day 3, Aug. 13 After floodwaters poured into the streets of Ames, many businesses were out of operation, especially restaurants. With a lack of clean water and unsafe conditions, it has been hard to keep dining services afloat both on and off campus, but things are looking up. ISU Dining plans to open all of the dining centers and convenience stores as scheduled. However, they will be operating slightly differently than normal. ISU Dining will be serving only bottled beverages and some juice made from clean, bottled water. Food and drink will be served with disposable dinnerware to dodge the need for water to wash the dishes. “The dining centers will be opened as scheduled,” said Brittney Rutherford, ISU Dining marketing coordinator. “We will be serving bottled beverages, and any big containers of water we have are filled with clean water.” Off-campus dining is beginning to open once again, with the exception of those restaurants that are flooded and still cleaning up. Other restaurants are opening with new regulations set by the city of Ames. The restaurants may open if they have working toilets, serve only canned or bottled beverages, and use disposable dinnerware. For some, like Hickory Park, this means take-out only. “We are getting much business because the media is saying all restaurants in Ames are closed,” said Tracy Drury, Hickory Park’s front manager. “We are serving carry-out because the city will not let us serve dine-in. But we have 215 employees and it is our duty to try to generate income for them.” Qdoba Mexican Grill, on the other hand, is taking the opportunity to give back to the community in its time of need. The restaurant has opened once again, and is providing coupons for its club members for a $5 meal deal throughout the month of August. In addition, Qdoba is having an event from 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. Aug. 20 in which 100 percent of sales with be donated to the American Red Cross Lincoln Way Chapter. “I think it is important for us to give back,” said Ted Horan, Qdoba Mexican Grill operating partner. “I don’t understand how someone could watch TV and see what’s going on and not want to help.” After the rush for bottled water, grocery stores are receiving normal business and working a bit differently. “We worked with the health inspector to make sure things were safe,” said Monty Streit, Hy-Vee director. “We have to boil water to wash utensils and hands, like we do for catering and grilling, but indoor now.” Once Hy-Vee restocked its water supply, it donated two semis full of water to help the city provide clean water for residents.

Hummer, who was scheduled to open at Dairy Queen on Orion Drive, drove from Franklin Avenue for more than an hour — a trip that lasts 10 minutes any other day. “I had to try and drive County Line Road and had to go all the way around Ada Hayden [Heritage Park] because 13th Street was flooded,” Hummer said. “I felt like no matter what way I went I couldn’t get to the north side of town.” Hummer, senior in English, arranged to work another shift in the afternoon, and returned home only to find an inch of standing water in his basement.

“I never thought I’d say we’re lucky to only have an inch of water in our basement,” Hummer said. “We’ll have to replace all the carpet, but I know there were people more affected than we were.” Hummer’s employer had his own mess to handle. Allan Sorenson had to close Dairy Queen on Wednesday due to the shutdown of the Ames water plant. “There’s no way we were about to serve contaminated water to our customers,” Sorenson said. Dairy Queen was able to reopen Thursday. Sorenson’s home receives water from Xenia Rural Water, and he was able to bring clean water into the store for washing dishes, hands and surfaces. Dairy Queen is serving its full menu and will transport clean water to the building until Ames water is again safe to drink.

Article as published on Flood Day 1, Aug. 11 City of Ames officials held an afternoon news conference to update the city on the ďŹ&#x201A;ooding situations. Mayor Ann Campbell said â&#x20AC;&#x153;unprecedented amounts of waterâ&#x20AC;? following several days of rain caused the ďŹ&#x201A;ooding. At some point during the day, city engineers noticed a â&#x20AC;&#x153;dramaticâ&#x20AC;? drop in the water pressure, indicating a possible water main break. A break was discovered under Squaw Creek. Because the break occurred near ďŹ&#x201A;oodwaters, the city shut down the water plant to eliminate the potential for contaminating the water. Tests have not conďŹ rmed any contaminants in the water, but the city said until the system is operational, all water should be assumed contaminated. The water pressure is being kept low so the city can moni-

Cyclone sports scene sees some changes By Jake. Lovett iowastatedaily.com Three things you missed this summer:

1) The Big 12’s near collapse —

ISU distance runner Lisa Koll strides during a race. Koll won multiple NCAA titles in the 5,000- and 10,000-meter races, along with many other awards, as a Cyclone. File photo: Iowa State Daily

While you were away, nestled in your cozy little beds, the Big 12 almost plummeted into oblivion, nearly taking the whole of the ISU athletic department with it. After Nebraska departed for the Big Ten and Colorado bolted for the Pac-10, the Big

12 was left in limbo. It was reported everywhere from ESPN to Texas fan site Orangebloods.com that Texas would be leaving next, heading to the Pac-10 with Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas Tech and Texas A&M to form college football’s first “super conference.” The teams’ departure would have left five schools — Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, Missouri and Baylor — without a conference to call their own. Eventually, more rumors flew that sent Texas and Missouri to the Big Ten,

had the SEC interested in Texas A&M and even had the Mountain West Conference interested in Kansas and Iowa State. But, eventually, none of those rumors ever came to fruition. Reportedly, Big 12 Commissioner Dan Beebe wooed Texas into staying with the Big 12 with his offer of a new television contract that would include a payout between $20 and $25 million a year for Texas, Oklahoma and Texas A&M. The Associated Press reported the conference’s other

seven schools would receive nearly twice the revenue they do now. Schedule changes for some Big 12 sports include a new round-robin, nine-game conference schedule in football and an 18-game schedule in basketball. Changes will not be immediate, though, as Nebraska does not join the Big Ten until 2011-12 and Colorado does not join the Pac-10 until the 201213 schedule.

Soccer

Soccer season starts off with shutout tie Senior keeper Ashley Costanzo allows zero goals in opening game By Blake.Schultz iowastatedaily.com Friday night began the ISU soccer season, but it meant the Cyclones would play their first game with a new goalkeeper since outstanding keeper Ann Gleason graduated. Coming into this season, the Cyclones had to find a replacement for Gleason, and coach Wendy Dillinger said the team has a lot of confidence in Ashley Costanzo to fill that role. “The thing Ashley has really improved on over the last two years are the simple saves,” Dillinger said. “She’s very consistent and she’s learned a lot playing behind Ann for three years.” The senior Costanzo got the nod for Friday’s game, but newcomer Maddie Jobe has been nearly equal since the first practice. “They have different

Friday night by allowing zero goals while saving six shots. She showed off her acrobatic skills late in the second overtime when she made a diving save on a shot that would’ve given Drake the win. “You get through the first half and don’t give up a goal, then you get through the second half and don’t give up a goal and it’s a perfect game for a goalkeeper,” Costanzo said. Leading up to the game, Dillinger said the two have been battling in every practice and making each other

better. Costanzo had a lot of praise for Jobe’s work ethic and how she has picked everything up right away, and this has pushed Costanzo to perform better. Before this season, Jobe has never not been a starting

keeper for any team she’s been on. One of the biggest things she said she needed to adjust to at the college level was the intensity of the game and how much time would be committed to soccer “The first few days are defi-

final

nitely hard,” Jobe said. “You come to practice and you come to play soccer. That’s pretty much it.” Jobe also added that she “wants the starting job, but is here to support whoever wins it.”

Flood forces Cyclones to trade Hilton home for Ames High School Annual scrimmage held two weeks before opener By Travis.Cordes iowastatedaily.com In a brutal clash of color, cardinal and gold met orange and black when the ISU volleyball team stepped on the court at Ames High School. Due to damage from the ďŹ&#x201A;ooding of Aug. 11, the Cyclones have been forced to trade the towering caverns of Hilton Coliseum for the tight, 2,000-seat gymnasium for the rest of the season. The teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual intrasquad scrimmage Saturday served as the ďŹ rst opportunity for it to adjust to such a wildly different setting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really different here after being in a big gym,â&#x20AC;? said sophomore middle blocker Jamie Straube. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to take awhile to get used to. And once we get this place packed full of Cyclone fans I really think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be awesome. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m excited.â&#x20AC;? With the home opener two weeks away, the team will spend as much time as it can at Ames High in an attempt to adapt to the changes before the Cyclones welcome UW-Milwaukee on Sept. 3. Several factors contribute to the difficulties of playing in a different gym, and the Cyclones hope to master those elements and turn Ames High into a serious home-court advantage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be awesome, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be nuts,â&#x20AC;? said coach Christy Johnson-Lynch.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be loud to a point that canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even hear whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on, and I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a really tough place for opponents to play. Straube led all players in blocks and kills during the scrimmage, ďŹ nishing the match with 13 kills on a .474 hitting percentage. Freshman Tenisha Matlock added 11 kills in an impressive performance during her ďŹ rst action in a Cyclone uniform. However, while Straube and Matlock provided a few bright spots, the coaching staff still has plenty on its minds after Saturday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever come away from a scrimmage happy,â&#x20AC;? Johnson-Lynch said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You just never feel great because you see so many things you need to work on or you think certain players would play a lot better than they did.â&#x20AC;? Iowa State has been known for its great passing under Johnson-Lynchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tenure, but the coach was surprised at the fairly average display of serving and passing in the match. Johnson-Lynch believes part of that problem may be due to different conditions with air ďŹ&#x201A;ow and depth perception in the new gym, which she hopes will be overcome with time. The Cyclones, ranked No. 9 in the AVCA preseason coaches poll, open the season at the AVCA Showcase in Omaha next weekend where they will face two ranked opponents in No. 13 Florida and No. 14 Kentucky. Junior middle blocker Deb Stadick sat the scrimmage out due to a foot sprain, but is expected to practice again this week and will be ready for the season opener on Saturday.

Flood aftermath

Cleanup crews remove debris Thursday at Hilton Coliseum. OfďŹ cials say they hope Hilton will be open for the basketball home opener. Photo: Logan Gaedke/Iowa State Daily

Hilton, soccer complex begin cleanup With Squaw Creek ďŹ nally back in its banks, the university has been able to begin the process of assessing and recovering its damaged facilities on the east side of campus. The events of Wednesday, Aug. 11 that turned the Hilton Coliseum ďŹ&#x201A;oor into a 12-foot swimming pool threw a drastic curveball at the ISU community that will take several months to solve. But since ďŹ&#x201A;oodwaters have receded, the athletic department has been able to look past the swelling and will treat the situation as just a massive sprained ankle on the fall semester. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Certainly itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a challenge,â&#x20AC;? said Athletic Director Jamie Pollard in a news conference Aug. 19. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a challenge none of us would wish upon anybody, but we will get through this. Our coaches, our student-athletes and our staff have a lot of resolve. They have embraced it as a challenge and we will ďŹ nd a way to be stronger from it.â&#x20AC;? Officials cannot present estimations on how much time and money will be spent on recovery, as it is too early in the process to interpret the full extent of the damage. Earliest approximations anticipate dollar amounts in the millions. However, as the recovery process continues, one clear priority has been established for the athletic department this fall: to have Hilton ready to go for the ďŹ rst basketball game of the season on Nov. 4. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re limited on what alternatives weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have for basketball,â&#x20AC;? Pollard said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In what capacity weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re able to open it is yet to be determined. There are long lien times on certain items that need to be ordered and we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just start procuring things immediately.â&#x20AC;? While hopes are high for the basketball programs to stay on schedule, the ďŹ&#x201A;ooding has left the volleyball program in the most severe predicament of all ISU sports. Christy Johnson-Lynchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s squad lost its practice and game facility for essentially the entire season, and was forced to come up with quick alternatives with its season opener on Saturday rap-

idly approaching. The 2,000-seat gym at Ames High School will replace Hilton for all home matches this season, and practices have moved to the West Towne Courts while coaches will share offices with the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball program at the nearby Sukup Basketball Complex. While itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible for some matches at the back end of the volleyball season to be played at Hilton, plans currently have the team at Ames High for the duration of the season for the sake of consistency. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in a fortunate situation where it works to bring them back, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll make that decision at the appropriate time,â&#x20AC;? Pollard said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to go into it by having them wait every week wondering when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll come back.â&#x20AC;? The ISU soccer team watched its home ďŹ eld transform into a lake as well, and played its ďŹ rst scheduled home game Friday against Drake at the Prairie Ridge Sports Complex in Ankeny. Fortunately, the Cyclonesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; schedule doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t contain another home match until Sept. 17 against Iowa, and the team will be able to practice at the Bergstrom Indoor Facility while the ďŹ eld is be-

ing refurbished. The athletic department is hopeful that at the very least the playing surface, along with surrounding intramural ďŹ elds, can be turned from brown back to green in a short time frame. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Iowa in August, so our conditions for growing seed and other stuff like that is good,â&#x20AC;? said Dave Miller, director of operations for Facilities Planning and Management. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So we would have every reason to believe that the soccer area will come back relatively quickly.â&#x20AC;? While all of this is being sorted out, members of the university are attempting to keep perspective on the damage despite how disruptive it has been. Due to the efforts after the ďŹ&#x201A;oods of 1993 and 2008, previous experience by many members of the university has the recovery process a full three weeks ahead of where it was one week after the ďŹ&#x201A;oods 17 years ago. Defensive measures taken at Jack Trice Stadium by the athletic department and football team on the morning of the ďŹ&#x201A;ood has left football facilities in good shape, and there are no foreseeable problems for the Sept. 2 home opener.

Coach Wendy Dillinger said the flooding has just been a minor speed bump for the team. “The team hasn’t missed a beat,” Dillinger said when asked about the flood. “It hasn’t affected training at all.” It has been an adjustment traveling for training, as it adds about an hour every day with traveling to the Bergstrom Indoor Facility for practices. Last season the team finished last in the Big 12, with a conference record of 2–8. This season, the Cyclones will be without their leading scorer, Amanda Woelfel, due to injury. Combining that with the flood makes for a tough way to start the year. Despite this, the team has kept its hopes high and is ready to compete. “The team has dealt with it pretty well,” said senior midfielder Jordan Bishop. “I think when you go through any struggle, whether it be the flood or injuries, it binds the team together.”

Senior goalkeeper Ashley Costanzo will be a team leader this season, as she will fill the shoes Ann Gleason left after her final season. “It’s been a challenge, but no one has complained,” Costanzo said. “You can’t do anything about the flood, it happens, so I think we’ve kind of just owned it. If we

have to play in Ankeny, we will play in Ankeny.” The Cyclones tied Drake 0–0 in Ankeny on Friday in what would have been their home opener. Their ﬁeld should be ready for action when the next home game rolls around Sept. 17 against Iowa.

For a team that has been through so much already this season, one thing players haven’t lost is conﬁdence. “It doesn’t matter where our ﬁeld is, we are going to be our team and do our thing,” Costanzo said.

Marching band takes new direction ISU ‘Varsity’ band starts early with demanding training for new school year under interim director Natalie Steele By Kaleb.Warnock @iowastatedaily.com

More online:

Iowa State’s Cyclone Football “Varsity” Marching Band is back in action this fall. Last summer, the band lost its longtime conductor Matthew Smith when he took a position at the Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University. “It’s a great thing for him,” said Josh Larson, drum major and senior in journalism and mass communication. “We all kind of knew it was coming. It’s a great opportunity for him, and I’m glad he took it.” For many members of the marching band, Smith was an influential band director and responsible for establishing many of the traditions and customs that help shape the band’s reputation. “I want to see all the traditions continue — just because there’s a new band director doesn’t mean that they have to change,” said Wade Gibson, junior in music and member of the drumline. Although Smith will be missed, students said they’re looking forward to the coming season and have faith in Smith’s replacement, Natalie Steele, who will be the interim director for the marching band for the 2010 season. “Steele has some big shoes to fill,” Gibson said. “It’s definitely going to be different; we had some good traditions, but hopefully they’ll keep going.” The ISU marching band is known by its members as the Iowa State University Cyclone Football “Varsity” Marching Band. The ISUCF“V”MB has been the “pride of Iowa State” for many years and has had noteworthy performances at events like the

Photos and, later in the week, Steele’s thoughts, at ames247.com Insight.com Bowl, the EV1.net Bowl and the Independence Bowl. The band also travels to exhibitions and festivals around the state, such as the Cedar Rapids Indoor Classic. The ISUCF“V”MB also began its year a bit earlier than most students. The members of the band move in early every fall to get an early start on the season with band camp. Band camp began Aug. 14 with auditions for the drumline and got into motion the following Sunday. Guides — older students who assist with music and drill charts, among other things — moved in Sunday and rehearsed through Aug. 17. The rest of the members of the band moved in the following Tuesday, and band camp moved into full swing. The band follows a vigorous schedule that begins early in the morning and ends anywhere between 8 and 9 p.m. most nights of the week. The daily rehearsals are spent alternating between indoor and outdoor rehearsals, where the band works on everything from marching fundamentals to musical performance and interpretation. The band also performed a few times around campus, including once at Destination Iowa State, and can regularly be seen on the practice ﬁeld west of the communications building. Larson was optimistic when discussing his plans for the season and his hopes for the band. He’s looking forward to a great season and will spend a lot of time perfecting the pregame show to allow more time rehearsing for the halftime performances.
