Fans of Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games series competed on Sunday in a Quarter Quell Competition in which they learned how to test their agility, practice first aid, and use camouflage. The “tributes” participated in the festivities based on the books as part of the fourth annual Iowa City Book Festival presented by the University of Iowa Libraries. The festival featured more than 80 events and welcomed more than 50 authors to Iowa City.

Court backs UI on records The Iowa Supreme Court ruled that the University of Iowa is not required to provide student documents related to a 2007 sexual assault investigation. By ALY BROWN alyson-brown@uiowa.edu
The Iowa Supreme Court on July 13 ruled that the University of Iowa is not obligated to turn over student records to the Iowa City Press-Citizen related to a 2007 sexual-assault investigation. The court ruled 4-3 that the university does not need to hand over student records to the newspaper, after the UI had been forced to hand over hundreds of other documents following the lawsuit. UI spokesman Tom Moore said university officials are satisfied with the SEE RECORDS, 3

While student enrollment at Iowa State University is projected to surpass the University of Iowa this coming academic year for the first time in 33 years, UI officials say they are more concerned about quality rather than quantity. Michael Barron, the director of UI Admissions, said the university set a goal in 2010 to reach a freshman class of 4,500 students within five years. That goal was met in the first year. “There was this expectation that we would grow about 100 a year to hit that number over five years,” he said. Because the university has already met the goal, Barron said, UI officials are not trying to expand class sizes. “We met our goal a lot faster than we thought,” he said. “Our reaction was to stabilize at that level. That’s where we wanted to get, and we wanted to sustain that number for incoming students in 2011.” UI spokesman Tom Moore said officials are not concerned about ISU’s SEE ENROLLMENT, 3
Explaining the Sun Locals turned out to view the Sun’s activity this past weekend at Van Allen Hall. By NICHOLAS MILLER nicholas-j-miller@uiowa.edu
As the summer heat continues, one expert explained that recent solar flares erupting from the Sun are not the culprit behind the ongoing heat wave. Steven Spangler, a University of Iowa professor of physics/astronomy, held a free lecture this past weekend for Iowa City residents to discuss the Sun’s current position in the solar cycle and dispel any misconceptions about the reason behind the summer heat wave. “You might think for the last few weeks we are closer to the Sun, but it is the opposite,” Spangler said. “We are actually closest to the Sun in January.” Residents who wanted to view the Sun through telescopes convened Sunday in the courtyard outside Van Allen Hall after the viewing was pushed back from July 14 because of overcast skies. A sunspot emitted a solar flare on July 12, which headed straight for Earth, Spangler said, but it wasn’t expected to pose any threat. “It is hitting us as I speak, actually,” he said on July 14 as people in the crowd gasped.

The largest solar flare to hit the Earth in recorded history occurred in 1859. If one of that size were to occur again, it could wipe

Farms head to schools The Iowa City School District has seen an increase from three to 15 school gardens in the last two years. By JOE HITCHON joehitchon@gmail.com
Farm to School officials say they hope bringing local produce and teaching students about where their food comes from will encourage healthy food habits. The Iowa City School District held its first of two Farmer Fairs July 13, in which students were able to learn about local produce and to plant in-school gardens. The organizations involved said they hope the children’s exposure to farming and fresh produce will have a lasting effect on the way they view their
food and encourage them to make healthy food choices in the long term. “Research shows that if kids grow their own food and help prepare that food, they are more likely to eat and to try new foods,” said Heather Widmayer, coordinator of Farm to School program. “So the more opportunities we can give them to try this, the more likely they will be to eat healthy throughout their lifetime.” But getting kids to try new foods was not the main challenge for the organizers of the fair. The real challenge was getting the students to think about where their food comes from and the effort involved in growing it. The School District has seen an increase from three to 15 school gardens in the last two years. “We’re helping them connect with food, so they know that what their eating actually came from the ground and was planted and grown by somebody,”
said Mia Arndt, a volunteer from Iowa City Summer Solutions, while demonstrating the basics of gardening to kids in a small, raised bed on the playground. “I think it teaches good stewardship to remember that our planet provides for us — the soil, the water, the Sun. We need a healthy environment to be able to grow our food, and if there is a disconnect, this can be hard for kids to remember.” The produce grown in the school gardens is prepared in one of five different production kitchens throughout the district and offered in the school lunches as well as to the elementary schools they serve. Building that connection is one of the goals of the School District’s Farm to School program. The event was the result of a collaboration among local organizations, including Iowa City Summer Solutions, University of Iowa Student Gardeners, Burt Family Food Services,
and AmeriCorps volunteers from the Johnson County Department of Public Health. The Farm to School program involves a number of different initiatives including educational programs such as Farmer Fairs, which provide kids a firsthand opportunity to learn about, prepare, and taste new healthy foods. “The Farmer Fair is like an in-school field trip that brings food and nutrition educators and farmers into the schools and the kids rotate through six or seven different hands-on activities all related to healthy food and healthy eating,” Widmayer said. Along with getting their hands dirty in the garden, students were able to try samples of fresh food and were able to take home a scorecard of the foods they liked best. “It’s been fun, and I never thought I would like zucchini,” said sixth-grader Elena Dryer.

The Iowa City area has seen a number of catalytic-converter thefts from vehicles recently; the police are investigating. According to an Iowa City police press release, police officials believe the parts are being sold for scrap. The thefts can be attributed to the increased price of precious metals, according to Nationwide Insurance. The converters contain enough metal to be sold at scrap yards for approximately $100 to $150, the release said. The higher the vehicle’s frame is from the ground, the greater the risk. “A lot of people are surprised by this crime, because they aren’t hearing much about it in the media,” said Mike Ekiss, associate vice president of farm/agribusiness and loss control for Nationwide. “But the threat to small businesses is real, and it could cost you if you don’t take precautions.” According to the release, the

Police have accused an Iowa City man of stealing gold jewelry in order to sell it. Andrew Irvin, 23, 738 Bayridge Drive, was charged Feb. 15 with second-degree theft. According to an Iowa City police complaint, Irvin took cash, gold jewelry, and a television from a residence between Feb. 13 and Feb. 14. The residence was not ransacked and it appeared the suspects knew the location of the stolen items. The codefendant was a former employee of the victim’s and had been to his house in the past, the complaint said. Irvin allegedly drove the codefendant to the Pit Stop, 300 Kirkwood Ave., on Feb. 15 to sell the gold jewelry, and he received a total of $1,486. The victim’s wife identified the jewelry as hers and said the jewelry originally valued at approximately $5,000, the complaint said. Second-degree theft is a Class-D felony. — By Amy Skarnulis

ENROLLMENT CONTINUED FROM 1 growing enrollment because they want to focus on the quality of education now that the desired enrollment rate was achieved. UI officials saw the total enrollment increase 68 students in the fall of 2011 from the fall of 2010, according to a report from the Registrar’s Office. “[Students] know they can receive a high-quality education here at a reasonable cost,” he said. “We do very well of attracting and retaining students, and that’s our goal, to make sure we provide a highquality educational experience.” Iowa State officials still plan to set goals in order to expand their student enrollment.

state Board of Regents’ universities will know how large the official enrollment is until 10 days after the start of fall semester. John McCarroll, the executive director of Iowa State university relations, said the school had 5,048 freshmen in the fall of 2011, a record for the school. “Our admissions efforts were to at least match that number this year,” he said. ISU had a total enrollment of 29,887 in the fall of 2011, and although it is too early to have any official numbers, officals feel they will have an enrollment of around 31,000 this fall. McCarroll accredits ISU’s increase to growth in international and out-ofstate numbers as well as student interest in the engineering and agriculture programs. “One of the common misunderstandings people
think of traditional agriculture is young people going back to the farm,” he said. “What has taken place in the entire field is the whole area of agribusiness [which is what we offer].” University of Northern Iowa officials have similar goals to expand class sizes. Christie Kangas, the director of UNI Admissions, said the university has a plan to increase from 13,000 students to 14,000 in the next four to five years, noting roughly 90 percent of their students are in-state residents. “[To reach our growth plan] we’re doing more outreach out of state— in particular Minnesota and Illinois and expanding our international outreach,” she said.
Abe Satterfield was originally charged with secondand third-degree sexual abuse and assault with intent to inflict serious injury; he pleaded guilty to the non-sexual charge as part of a plea bargain in exchange for his testimony against former teammate Cedric Everson. Prosecutors said Satterfield did not end up providing the testimony he promised in 2011, but they did not pursue further action. Everson was convicted of misdemeanor assault, the least serious charge possible, in 2011. university’s The response to the assault resulted in the 2008 firings of two top UI administra-
tors who later sued the school alleging wrongful termination. Former General Counsel Marcus Mills and Phillip Jones, a former UI vice president for Student Services, separately sued the UI, UI President Sally Mason, and the state Board Regents alleging of defamation and wrongful termination. Jones’ lawsuit was dismissed in February, but Mills’ federal court case is set for trial in December. The Press-Citizen filed a lawsuit after the UI claimed certain records were excluded from the investigation. The university originally produced 18 pages of documents, claiming student
records were exempt from the request, according to the decision. The Press-Citizen filed a lawsuit seeking judicial enforcement of the Open Records Act in January 2008, forcing the university to release approximately 950 additional pages of documents and created a Vaughn index of more than 3,000 more, according to the decision. The district court ruled in the Press-Citizen’s favor in 2009, directing the disclosure of documents “not protected as confidential and … subject to disclosure … without redaction and documents” and those “subject to disclosure … with appropriate redactions made to remove stu-
dent-identifying information including students’ names, parents’ names, addresses including email addresses of students, dormitory and room numbers,” according to the ruling. UI officials resisted and appealed the decision. University officials claimed the remaining documents in the investigation were protected by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, and the school could lose the ability to apply for federal funding if officials made the records public, according to the ruling. The Press-Citizen countered that the Opens Record Act supersedes the privacy act, but the court ruled that a provision in

recorded sunspots when it reached its maximum, he said. The Sun currently has only 60 sunspots recorded, which is low for this point in the cycle. When at its maximum, the Sun is most likely to experience sunspots, prominences, solar flares, and coronal mass ejections,
making it the most exciting time to view. Spangler said he was pleased with the number of people who decided to come back the second day. However, he joked that even though it would have ruined the viewing, he had hoped for rain for agriculture’s sake. Peter Haugen, a UI graduate student who received
an undergraduate degree in physics, was on hand July 14 to help Spangler with his presentation. “Coronal mass ejections are pretty nifty,” he said. “But the Sun, it’s this gigantic object completely beyond our influence. You can understand why so many religions worshiped it as a god.”

(The Daily Iowan/Juan Carlos Herrera) the act suspends the request if it could cause a state agency to lose federal funding. According to the decision, the justices were required “to decide where disclosure ends and where confidentiality begins under the Iowa Open Records Act and the Federal Educational Rights and Privacy Act.” The court reversed the judgment of the district court requiring the release of remaining documents. UI officials did not challenge the award of $30,500 in attorney fees to the Press-Citizen from 2009.

Editorial
Need some confidence in a brighter future Those of us in college must believe that an education really is the way to a brighter future. If that was not the case, we students may all feel very silly for paying $8,057 (in-state) or $26,279 (out-of-state) in tuition and fees each year to attend this fine university, especially when 72 percent of us do it on borrowed dollars, according to the Princeton Review. Keeping student-loan rates low on subsidized Stafford Loans is of great importance, but the recently passed legislation, HR 4348, only offers a shortterm solution. The legislation, passed by Congress, allocated $100 billion for infrastructure initiatives and kept subsidized Stafford Loan rates at 3.4 percent interest — only until next year. This one-year, lower-rate extension is unsustainable, and quick fixes, unlike education, are not the way to a brighter future. Rather, U.S. leaders need to seriously focus on lowering the federal deficit in their long-term plan — a move that would ultimately benefit students. According to the Pomerantz Career Center Report for Spring 2011, 81 percent of the students graduating from University of Iowa Tippie College of Business were employed within six months of graduation, and 61 percent of graduates from the UI College of Liberal Arts and Sciences found employment in six months as well. Obviously, a college degree does not necessarily guarantee a job. With a little ingenuity, Congress recycled the yearold plans using such key phrases as “United States Code is amended by … striking ‘2011’ … and inserting ‘2012.’ ” Thus, Americans have another quick but unreliable fix. Now, some estimated 3 million construction workers can plan on having a job for another year, and students can continue to pay 3.4 percent interest, according to the bill, but then, we’ll have to do it all again. But Americans don’t want to try again next year. Students want affordable and reliable access to education, and they want to get jobs. Many Americans want more access to jobs, because right now, the unemployment rate is 8.2 percent, and the labor force only comprises 63.8 percent of working-age Americans, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics. Seventy-four senators and 373 representatives voted for the bill, responding to students and construction workers, but they were unable to come to a
long-term agreement regarding the budget and the deficit. Americans must refuse to be pacified. Obviously, education and infrastructure are priorities that serve a valuable function in society, but they need longterm budgets so that cities and municipalities can plan and build for the future. Because this bill only offers a temporary fix — and at costly one at that — it must be coupled with a long-term jobs plan to be successful. The simplest plan would include cutting the deficit. Balancing the budget would ensure that those to whom the government owes money are paid and strengthens the economy so that the private sector may grow and employ more people. In the short-run, cutting the deficit means cutting government spending, which probably means cutting some public-sector jobs. It may even mean that senators and representatives see decreases in their own wages, as the mayor of Scranton, Pa., has done. As reported by the Boston Herald, Scranton Mayor Chris Doherty cut the wages of nearly 400 municipal employees, including firefighters, police officers, and even his own wages, to the federal minimum wage because, as Doherty said, “the money just isn’t there.” Right now, federal money just isn’t there, either. The federal budget is so far from balanced that even if all Americans paid 100 percent of their incomes to the federal government, we would still come up short from paying off all of the federal debt. The federal deficit is larger than the entire U.S. GDP, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis. That means that there is no short-term plan, and a balanced budget is not in the near future, but the House of Representatives must write a budget that puts us in that direction rather than offering solutions that are important, but unsustainable at present. Until Congress can find more bipartisan compromises, expect to see more Band-Aids that will ultimately exacerbate the growing suture that is the federal debt. The short-term is not the solution; It’s time to focus on sustainability. Election year or not, Republican or Democrat, America is still a country, and Americans of all ages need some confidence in a brighter future. Your turn. Is the quick fix for student loans good enough? Weigh in at dailyiowan.com.
Correction In the “Focus on clean water over aesthetics” editorial from The Daily Iowan Editorial Board published June 13, there were several factual errors and inaccuracies. The DI incorrectly described an Iowa City water quality study by the Environmental Workers Group as “the most recent study.” The study was from 2009 and not the most recent data available. Data on the same subject from the same group were compiled by the New York Times in May 2012. Iowa City’s tap water is within both the legal limits and health guidelines for its amounts of chloroform, lead, bromoform, bromichloromethane, dibromochloromethane, nitrate, copper, lawn pesticides, and human waste.
The DI also incorrectly reported that the civil penalty given to Kansas City, Mo., was a penalty for the quality of its drinking water. The penalty was for the treatment of the water in its sewers and the quality of its storm water. Also, the $60,000 granted by the EPA for changes made to the Burlington Street dam may not be used to improve the drinking water of Iowa City. It is a part of the Urban Waters Program, a program that focuses on improving the interaction of Americans with their local water sources.

Responsibility does matter, sometimes ADAM WESLEY adam-wesley@uiowa.edu
The University of Iowa’s recently signed contract with Anheuser-Busch, allowing the beer company to use the Tigerhawk logo alongside beer logos — such as Bud Light — has generated a debate and calls into question the integrity of the university’s commitment to reducing alcohol-related problems on campus. Johnson County prosecutor Janet Lyness called it a “really bad idea,“ adding, “It looks like the University of Iowa is promoting [Anheuser-Busch products]” at a meeting of alcohol-safety advocates on July 11, as reported by the DI. Shelly Campo, a UI associate professor of community and behavioral health, pointed out the ambiguity of the phrase, “responsibility matters.” The usage of that phrase is how UI President Sally Mason defended the contract. “The requirement that the possible use of the Tigerhawk logo be accompanied by the phrase ‘Responsibility Matters’ is consistent with our alcohol-harmreduction initiative,” Mason said in an official statement. Tom Rocklin, the UI vice president for Student Life, echoed her. “I don’t think we’re taking a significant risk by associating the Tigerhawk with [the Anheuser-Busch logo],” he said. No significant risk … consistent with the UI’s alcohol harm reduction initiative. See, the Hawks being associated with alcoholic products is fine. This time. However, in 2009, it wasn’t fine at all. I know 2009 is a really, really long time ago, but most people should be able to remember the Hawkeyes’ 11-2 Orange Bowl winning season. That fall, AnheuserBusch’s “Fan Can” promotion caused quite a stir on campus. UI officials, desperate to reduce binge drinking and alcohol-related problems, were very unhappy with Busch. The St. Louis brewing giant had launched a “Fan Can” advertising campaign that had the
UI, along with many other universities, up in arms. The “Fan Can” promotion consisted of uniquely colored Bud Light cans with the colors of 27 different school-color combinations, including the Black and Gold. Mason was not pleased and drafted a letter to Busch explaining how “concerned” the UI was with binge drinking and underage drinking on its campus. Her letter stated that the “Fan Can” promotion was “a step backward and will only serve to exacerbate this major student-health and safety problem.” She iterated the UI’s disappointment in Busch’s “decision to use this marketing strategy,” that was “openly targeting [Iowa City’s] student population, many of whom are underage.” UI spokesman Tom Moore said the university was afraid the cans might send a “mixed message at a time when we are encouraging students to drink legally and responsibly,” as reported by the DI. But wait, you say. Isn’t that the same argument being used by those who oppose the newly signed contract with Busch? That associating the UI with Busch logos clearly targets UI students, many of whom are underage? Gee willikers, you’re right! It is! Now I’m confused. In three years, the UI has gone from aggressively opposing Bud Light cans being sold in Hawkeye Black and Gold to officially sanctioning the use of the Tigerhawk alongside (potentially) Bud Light logos. What’s different this time, you might ask? Well the one obvious difference is Busch is paying the UI this time. But surely the offer of money from a brewer wouldn’t have any effect on the UI’s stance toward such advertising campaigns. That would be outrageous and irresponsible. Responsible or not, the UI has gotten me excited about being at Kinnick this fall. Herky will probably end up running around in a Duffman costume; or is a dancing Bud Light can replacing him? Either way, it should be entertaining. Cheers, President Mason — this Bud’s for you.
Guest Column
City Council ignores petition to have referendum on Moen project At its July 10 meeting, the Iowa City City Council confirmed its commitment to lending developer Marc Moen $2.5 million in TIF money to help him construct his newest project: a 14-story mixed-use building downtown. The councilors did this despite being presented with a petition signed by 862 residents of Iowa City asking that this decision be made the subject of a special election. A dedicated group of people have worked hard for the past couple of months collecting signatures and educating the public about this issue. They reason that
the people of Iowa City should be given a chance to voice their opinions about this major development downtown by voting for or against it — the City Council disagrees. The TIF arrangement had a provision for holding a referendum on how that money should be used if at least 700 qualified people signed a petition requesting it. This was done: The number of signers greatly exceeded the minimum required. But it made no impact on the council. The councilors got around the provision by switching from the use of general obligation bonds,
which are subject to the referendum, to revenue bonds, which are not. Democracy was successfully avoided by giving the money a different name. Now you know how your local government does business. One of the councilors’ chief reasons for denying citizens a right to be heard is that they were elected to make decisions for the city and therefore have the right to disregard the objections of any who disagree with those decisions. Nearly every councilor made this argument during the meeting on Monday. The implication is pretty disturbing: Once officials
are elected to office, the councilors believe, they can do whatever they want and the public has no say in the matter because it put them there in the first place. Did you realize when you voted for City Council that you were giving it complete control of your future and voiding your right to object whenever you question its judgment? Neither did I. The councilors also claimed that because their initial TIF vote was unanimous instead of split, that further justified ignoring the petitioners — really, they said this. Their “logic” implies that in unanimity there is a
kind of infallibility of judgment, a kind of truth. Because they think numbers add up to rightness, they ought to consider the following. Seven is a nice, lucky-sounding number, but it’s not very big; Lots of numbers are bigger. Take 862, for instance — it’s way bigger than seven. Unless you’re one of the seven; then you believe otherwise. The irony is that it’s very possible a majority of voters in this town approve of Marc Moen’s influence on the look and structure of downtown Iowa City and would support his latest vision as enthusiastically
as the City Council does. But we’ll never know. The City Council won’t give us the chance to have a conversation about the future of our city. Such a conversation would be important to have, good for the city and good for democracy. But we won’t have it unless we start one anyway. Talk to your friends, neighbors, and coworkers about this. You could even try talking to your city councilors, although it’s clear they’re no longer listening. They are already elected, you know. Phil Beck Iowa City resident

this knowledge on to his Prime Time teammates, most of whom are still in college and are years away from entering professional careers. Farokhmanesh sees his age and the years of experience as his greatest assets. “The older you get, the more you enjoy this, because you know your
career is kind of winding down,” he said. “You can see the light at the end of the tunnel.” Farokhmanesh is humble — he said he’s talked to many of the Iowa basketball players involved in Prime Time — but said the Hawkeye hoopsters know how to play the game and don’t need any pointers
from him. But Olaseni and Marble say otherwise. Farokhmanesh might not speak up too often, but the youngsters definitely pay attention to the professional’s actions and attitudes. Olaseni said he’s greatly influenced by Farokhmanesh’s confidence, that he walks on and
every time I step on the court. And Aaron is at my position, so obviously, we’re going to compete.” Except for one game, Basabe has scored 20 points as consistently as Cole. He finished the game with 22 points and grabbed 11 rebounds. Gesell had a double-double, scoring 20 points and dishing out 11 assists. As Iowa’s future starting point guard, Gesell has competed at a high level. But on Sunday, he competed with another Iowa point guard, Anthony Clemmons.
Clemmons and White were the only bright spots for Culver’s/Ready Mix, which can’t seem to catch a break. Clemmons played aggressively and attacked the basket regularly. “I’ve been telling him to just play basketball,” Basabe said. “Anthony has talent, but he’s been thinking too much. I told him to play like he’s playing at the park — just attack.” Clemmons finished the game with 20 points, and White provided another excellent performance. He finished the game with 27
points and 13 rebounds. Coach Ron Nove’s team was efficient against the strong showing that Cole, Basabe, and Gesell brought to the court. The squad scored when it needed to but just couldn’t put it together on the defensive end. “We just got to get stops,” Iowa guard Eric May said. “We’re giving up a lot of points. It’s hard to win and puts a lot of pressure on us to score a lot of points. It’s not like we’re getting blown out, but it’s just frustrating.”
sinking a 60-footer that drew a roar Johnson heard on the 18th green. “I didn’t know who the roar was for,” Johnson said. So Johnson two-putted for par and waited for Matteson, who matched him to force the playoff. Johnson climbed into second in the FedEx Cup standings, trailing only Tiger Woods, and he is fifth in the Ryder Cup standings. “If it happens, great,” Johnson said. “In golf, arguably in sport, they’re
some of the most fun and gut-wrenching tournaments you can play in. I love that.” Stricker began the day with a chance for a fourthstraight title, but played himself out of contention by driving into high grass on the 14th hole. He settled for bogey after a penalty drop, then bogeyed the next hole and finished four strokes back, tied for fifth with Luke Guthrie. “It was fun trying to do it,” Stricker said about the four-peat. “It was fun, but I
think it’s the putter. This week it was hot and cold.” Stricker was attempting to become the fifth player to win the same tournament four-straight times. The others are Tom Morris Jr., Walter Hagen, Gene Sarazen, and Woods, who has done it twice. Scott Piercy’s closing 65 left him two strokes back in third, and John Senden posted a 67 for fourth place, three shots off the pace.
Garza, Barney spark Cubs’ sweep ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO — If the Arizona Diamondbacks were counting on duplicating last season’s second-half run, they’re not off to a very good start. Darwin Barney homered, and Matt Garza threw seven shutout innings to lift the Chicago C˙ubs over the Diamondbacks, 3-1, on Sunday. Barney clubbed a Trevor Cahill pitch into the leftfield bleachers for a tworun homer in the second inning to help complete a three-game weekend sweep of Arizona. “We expect ourselves to be better,” Diamondback first baseman Paul Goldschmidt said. “We’re not going to win a ton of games scoring 1 run.” The defending NL West champion Diamondbacks had the second-best record in the National League after the All-Star break last season, but they opened the
second half this year by getting swept for the first time at Wrigley Field since May 2008. Chicago outscored Arizona 15-3 in the series. “When you’re not hitting, it magnifies things,” Arizona manager Kirk Gibson said “The story of the series was our lack of offense and inconsistency.” Cahill (7-8) allowed three runs on four hits over 5 1/3 innings, losing for the third time in his last four decisions. “Seems like this year, when I walk a guy, he scores, so I kind of attack the zone,” Cahill said. “Just can’t find it.” Aaron Hill hit his 12th homer in the eighth and reached base three times to pace the struggling Arizona offense. His homer snapped a 14-inning scoreless streak for Cub reliever Shawn Camp. “We just haven’t been able to put anything together,” Goldschmidt said. “It’s
hard when you’re struggling. It’s not one thing or one guy specifically. Hopefully, tomorrow we’ll come out and score a bunch of runs.” Garza (5-7) held Arizona to 5 hits and 1 walk, striking out seven en route to his first win in July. He’s allowed 3 earned runs or fewer in his last 18 starts at Wrigley. Carlos Marmol got the last two outs for his 10th save. He allowed a pair of baserunners but struck out Geoff Blum and got Gerardo Parra on a comebacker to end it. “Parra hits a bullet right at Marmol — that’s the frustrating part about it is those guys keep battling,” Gibson said. “It’s frustrating, their busting their tails, but that’s what baseball does to you.” Barney’s homer was his fourth of the season, doubling his total from 2011. “It was a slider, a chase pitch, and it backed up
inner half,” Cahill said. “Usually, you don’t want to throw a slider on the inside part of the plate to a righthanded hitter.” added a Barney sparkling play up the middle on Gerardo Parra’s grounder to end the Arizona seventh and extended his errorless streak at second base to 75 games. Garza struck out Justin Uptown swinging with two on to end the third, getting the struggling slugger on an off-speed pitch. He repeated the trick against Parra, who chased a pitch in the dirt with two runners on to end the fourth. Upton, the subject of trade rumors himself, went 0-for-4 and went hitless in 10 at-bats during the series.

off the court believing in himself and his abilities. Marble said he admires the ex-Panther’s motivation and drive. Farokhmanesh teaches the younger players things that can’t be drawn on a strategy board. He teaches his teammates basketball from someone wearing, very possibly, the exact
same basketball shoes. “I try to help them with enjoying the game more and playing with a little intelligence,” Farokhmanesh
said.
“Eventually, these guys aren’t going to be as athletic as they are right now, so they’ve got to learn to play the game, too.”

PRIME TIME LEAGUE
‘Old pro’ knows hoops ropes

Ali Farokhmanesh is always in Hawkeye Gabe Olaseni’s ear, telling him what to do. The Iowa star doesn’t mind, however. He welcomes it. Farokhmanesh is 24. Olaseni is 20. Farokhmanesh, who graduated from Northern Iowa in 2010, has played two seasons in European professional leagues. He has experience that Olaseni wants to learn from. “I’ve learned a lot from him,
a lot about the different sides of offense and defense,” Olaseni said. “He’s an experienced guy, so whatever he tells you to do, you do it to the best of your ability.” The Austria pro hasn’t put up outstanding numbers — he averages 12.8 points per game in the Prime Time League — but Farokhmanesh is valuable to head coach Kevin Lehman in a way much more important than scoring double digits. The former Panther almost acts as a second coach for his Prime Time team, but instead
Gatens notches big trey in summer league Former Iowa basketball star Matt Gatens is held dear in Hawkeye fans’ hearts, especially after his explosive performance toward the end of his senior season. Gatens scored 30 points against No. 20 Indiana and 33 points against No. 15 Wisconsin and helped bring Iowa to the National Invitation Tournament, its first postseason appearance in six years. And Gatens continues to succeed. The former Hawkeye scored Gatens 3 points in the Phoenix Suns’ former Iowa basketball player summer-league opener in Las Vegas on Sunday. He did that in just 2:51 of playing time. Gatens went 1-of-2 from the floor, and connected on one crucial 3-pointer to give him his first post-Iowa points. The ex-Hawkeye also grabbed 1 rebound. The Suns defeated the Knicks, 99-74. Phoenix will return to summer-league action at 7:30 p.m. CDT Tuesday. — by Molly Irene Olmstead
Football kids’ day announced The annual “Kids at Kinnick” has been set for Aug. 11, the Iowa Athletics Department announced this past weekend. Kinnick Stadium gates will open at 11 a.m. Members of the Iowa football team will be available to sign autographs and meet fans for 30 minutes prior to the Hawkeye team’s two-hour open practice. Several kid-friendly events, such as an NFL Combine Experience, face painting, and games will be held in the Krause Family Plaza beginning at 10 a.m. Local businesses, such as Wells Blue Bunny, Iowa Corn, and Noodles and Company will also offer games and activities for children. Touchdowns for Kids representatives will also be present to accept pledges for the UI Children’s Hospital. — by Molly Irene Olmstead
of instructing from the sidelines, he’s on the court, leading by example. “He uses screens so well and finds ways to get open,” Iowa’s Devyn Marble said. “At UNI, he was a really good shooter, and he’s still a really good shooter, but I notice that about him — that he finds ways to get open despite his size, being smaller.” Farokhmanesh stands just 6-0, but he has played his way through two years of pro ball, one in Switzerland, one in Aus-
tria. The ex-Panther’s team advanced to the semifinals last season and are expected to return as a championship contender in 2013. Basketball overseas is a different game — it’s more fastpaced with a 24-second shot clock. Farokhmanesh said he’s used to setting up his offense much faster, to picking up the full court, to getting pressure the entire game instead of just SEE PRIME TIME, 5 CHECK OUT A SLIDE SHOW AT DAILYIOWAN.COM .
An incoming Iowa freshman. A Hawkeye junior-to-be. A former Black and Gold player. The trio of Mike Gesell, Melsahn Basabe, and Jarryd Cole combined for 66 points as Jill Armstrong of Skogman Realty pulled out a 103-96 Prime Time League win over Culver’s/Ready Mix on Sunday. “I was just playing my game,” Cole said. “Making sure that I’m available for my team, and when I get the ball, making sure I do something positive.” Cole finished the game with a teamhigh 24 points, going 8-of-16, and he snared 8 rebounds. Cole has been coach Dan Ahrens’ most dominant and reliable player this summer, consistently scoring more than 20 points a game. He’s one of the older players in the league — a 2011 Iowa grad — and he is able to establish himself in the paint and play a different role from the one he had during his tenure with the Hawkeyes. “First and foremost, I become a threat,” Cole said. “When I was here at Iowa, I was more of a role player. I wasn’t the offensive threat, but now, I’ve become someone you have to respect. That takes pressure off the other guys.” Cole’s dominance allows Gesell and Basabe to excel. Basabe is able to feed off Cole’s consistent play with dominant performances of his own. The junior-to-be matched up SEE RECAP, 5
CR’s Johnson runs like a Deere Johnson tops Matteson in playoff to win the John Deere Classic. ASSOCIATED PRESS SILVIS, Ill. — Zach Johnson was already a member of the Board of Directors of the John Deere Classic. Now he has another title at the tournament: champion. Johnson won the Deere on Sunday with a birdie on the second hole of a sudden-death playoff. His 193-yard 6-iron approach from the bunker left of the 18th fairway ran up to less than a foot from the cup for an easy birdie, enabling him to knock off Troy Matteson, whose approach landed 43 feet from the pin. “I saw it bounce on the green and hoped it would kick left,” Johnson said. “I couldn’t see the golf ball.” Johnson couldn’t miss hearing the gallery, many of them friends, as the ball crept within a foot of the hole. “I liked that crescendo from the crowd,“ said Johnson, who is from Cedar Rapids, about an hour from the Quad Cities. The kick-in birdie had seemed unlikely minutes earlier after Johnson followed Matteson into the water from the same bunker on the first playoff hole. Each settled for double-bogey 6, then went back to the 18th tee for another try. Johnson’s bunkered his tee shot again, but this time, he played one of the better shots
Zach Johnson holds the trophy after winning the John Deere Classic at TPC Deere Run on Sunday in Silvis, Ill. Johnson defeated Troy Matteson in a playoff. (Associated Press/Charlie Neibergall) of a career that includes a 2007 Masters victory and eight other PGA Tour titles. “It’s one of the best results,” Johnson said. When Matteson was unable to sink his long birdie putt, Johnson tapped in to secure his second victory of the year, adding to the title he won at Colonial Country Club. While Johnson tried to play down what winning would mean to him during the tournament’s first three days, with the trophy in his grasp he admitted that it meant a great deal. “It just feels awesome,” Johnson said. “This tourna-
ment has meant so much to me and my family, from when they gave me exemptions to being a part of its board. “I don’t really like making things a bigger deal than what they should be. It means a great deal now that I’ve done it.” The duo had tied at 20under 264 after Johnson closed with a 6-under 65 and Matteson had a 69. Matteson had his best finish since winning the Frys.com Open in 2009, and he needed a top-five placing to qualify for the British Open. So rather than drive to nearby Rockford for a Monday pro-
am and then fly to Mississippi for the PGA Tour tournament, he hopped on the charter that Deere has to ferry players across the Atlantic to the British Open. It will be his first appearance in the year’s third major. “It’s a heck of a way to play a qualifier, for four days,” Matteson said. “When I started this week I really didn’t think about the British Open. It’s fun to play [Rockford] and then go to Mississippi.” Matteson, playing with three-time defending champion Steve Stricker, led from the SEE JOHNSON, 5
