Across the land for Parkinson’s

Man faces assault, imprisonment charges in Currier Hall incidents

(The Daily Iowan/Juan Carlos Herrera)

Rich Mills, 58, is biking across the country with one goal: to raise awareness for Parkinson’s Disease. The Iowan, who was diagnosed with the disease in 2009, aims to raise funds for the Michael J. Fox Foundation and the Iowa Chapter of the American Parkinson’s Disease Association and gather signatures for a stem cell petition. Mills paused on the steps of the Old Capitol Monday during his visit to Iowa City, before resuming his ride, called “Shakey Tracks”: My Ride Across America With Parkinson’s.

A Davenport man faces numerous charges after allegedly taking photographs and videos of a woman prior to assaulting her in Currier Hall this past spring.

According to a series of complaints from the University of Iowa police, Jordan Garr, 21, was involved in an April 18 incident at Currier Hall, in which he allegedly took a video of a female subject taking her clothes off. Garr allegedly threatened to post the video online but said he would delete the video if the woman performed oral sex on him and another subject.

The complaints said the woman did what Garr requested.

Garr also was allegedly involved in an incident May 10 at the same location, where he allegedly held a woman’s arm behind her back against her will. Garr also allegedly told another subject to take off the woman’s pants, while a third subject held her legs, according to complaints by UI police. The complaints said the woman screamed, “No, stop.” Garr and the two other subjects allegedly touched the woman’s breasts.

The complaints also said Garr was involved in a May 11 incident, also at Currier, where he reportedly took a photograph of a female subject’s breast. He allegedly promised to delete the photo if the woman bought him new sneakers, according to the complaint.

It is unclear from the complaints whether the same female subject was involved in each of the three reported incidents.

Attempts to contact UI police on Monday for further clarification were unsuccessful.

The Daily Iowan contacted UI police officials in May when the assault was initially reported. “… There is nothing more that we can share regarding this very sensitive case,” Chuck Green, the assistant vice president for the UI police, said in an email May 21.

UI spokesman Tom Moore declined to comment on the incident Monday.

“It’s a criminal matter, so it’s inappropriate to discuss at this point,” he said.

Garr was charged May 13 with assault, a simple misdemeanor, false imprisonment, a serious misdemeanor, and extortion, a Class-D felony.

Garr is not listed as a student in the UI’s phonebook.

Sorority recruiting numbers jump

By Anna Theodosis anna-theodosis@uiowa.edu

The number of women going through formal sorority recruitment is on the rise nationally — and the University of Iowa is no different.

This fall, 131 more women went through sorority recruitment than last year, bringing this year’s total to 872. UI Panhellenic Council officials said the dramatic increase in the number of women is a positive thing, and the council made some changes to accommodate the growth in prospective new members.

Nationally, the number of undergraduate members rose 15 percent from 2008 to 2011, according to the National Panhellenic Conference Annual

Brittany Barnes, graduate assistant for UI fraternity and sorority life, said the Panhellenic Council reviewed many aspects of the recruitment process, which spanned two weekends from Aug. 23 to Monday.

“The council has certainly looked at the number of events members are supposed to have,” she said. “For example, the first round of recruitment had 15 events in two days; this year, there are 16 events.”

Latino voters are expected to have an increased turnout on Election Day, according to a recent report, but some officials say they are one of many groups that could have a decisive role in deciding the next president of the United States.

After creating a ratio from their calculations and considering the trend of the increasing population among Latinos, the U.S. Center for Immigration Studies projected Latinos will be 8.9 percent of electorate in 2012, a 1.5 percentage increase from 2008.

Homicide defendant waives right to speedy trial

A man accused of first-degree murder in connection with the death of Broadway Apartments landlord has waived his right to a trial within one year, according to online court documents.

Justin Marshall is accused of killing John Versypt in October 2009.

Marshall’s attorney, Thomas Gaul, filed an additional motion on Aug. 31 to suppress evidence.

Gaul had previously stated during a hearing that during a deposition police had acknowledged that they continued to interrogate Marshall after he invoked his right to remain silent. Claiming that Marshall told the officer “I don’t want to talk anymore,” but the officer “kept talking.”

Next month will be the third year since the slaying. Marshall originally was a material witness in Charles William Curtis Thompson’s trial in connection to the

murder. However, Thompson’s trial was ruled a mistrial, and Thompson then signed documents stating that Marshall killed Versypt.

A scheduling conference over the phone was previously scheduled to set new deadlines and dates for Marshall’s case.

Iowan biking for Parkinson’s awareness

Rich Mill rides in front of the Old Capitol on Monday. (The Daily Iowan/Juan Carlos Herrera)

Rich Mills left Iowa City Monday after stopping by on his cross-country bike trek for Parkinson’s disease awareness.

By Madeline Savoie Madeline-savoie@uiowa.edu

Rich Mills left Iowa City in the dust Monday on his cross-country bike tour for Parkinson’s awareness.

In 2009, Mills, 58, of Winterset, Iowa, began a lifelong journey when he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. Despite the inevitable debilitating aspect of his diagnosis, he began another long journey this past summer — a oneman bike tour across the country, he calls, “Shakey Tracks, My Ride Across America with Parkinson’s.”

“I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to do it again,” he said.

Mill’s goals for the trip include raising awareness for Parkinson’s disease, raising money for the Michael J. Fox Foundation and the Iowa Chapter of the American Parkinson’s Disease Association, and getting signatures for a stem-cell petition he will present to the Congressional Caucus on Parkinson’s Disease in Washington, D.C., advocating for human embryonic stem-cell research.

According to the National Parkinson’s Association, the disease is a slowly progressing brain disorder that affects speech, movement, and balance.

Though he still has a ways to go, Mills said his tour has already met all of his goals, especially in sharing experiences with people he has met along the way.

According to the National Parkinson’s Disease Foundation, 50,000 to 60,000 new cases are diagnosed each year, adding to the 1 million people previously diagnosed in the United States.

Because the disease is

so complex, Mills said the scariest part of his diagnosis is the uncertainty of what is going to happen and wehen.

Mills said his diagnosis changed his perspective on life.

“The uncertainty is so unsettling for me,” he said. “In a way, I wish I knew when I would end up in a walker.”

Mills said the biking helps with back pains and relaxes a lot of the tremors as well as slows the progression of his disease, at least over the past year.

“I don’t think biking is a cure, but it keeps it at bay,” he said.

Ergun Uc, a University of Iowa associate professor of neurology, said despite the many research studies done, the exact benefits of exercise and what modalities, whether resistance or aerobic exercise, to use have not been fully established yet in the disease.

“While there are promising data from animal and epidemiological studies, there is no proof yet of exercise preventing or slowing down Parkinson’s disease,” Uc said. “Exercise may be helpful with certain symptoms, but it has to be safe and customized to the person’s abilities and needs.”

Uc emphasized that there is no standard exercise regime to alleviate Parkinson’s symptoms, and people must consult with their doctor for safety and tailoring of their routine.

“The progression of Parkinson’s disease varies greatly among people,” said UI neurology Professor Robert Rodnitzky, the director of the Movement Disorders Division.

Rodnitzky said it’s hard

Parkinson’s Although symptoms of Parkinson’s disease vary from individual cases, some common symptoms include: •Shaking or tremors while resting •Slowness in movement •Stiffness of arms and legs •Trouble with balance •Muffled speech •Decreased ability in automatic reflexes Source: National Parkinson’s Foundation

to predict the exact prognosis for each individual, but Mill’s ability to bike cross-country is not an absurd concept this early on.

“He is relatively young; I’m not surprised that he is able to do this,” Uc said.

Two different groups have assisted Mills while on his journey, the American Parkinson’s Association and Warm Showers, a hospitality community for bike enthusiasts.

He said the host families from both groups have been understanding of his symptoms and supportive of his journey.

Wife Mayumi Ameku says although she worries if she does not get a call right away in the evening, she supports his journey completely.

“I’m very proud of my husband,” she said. “It’s amazing what he can achieve.”

Mills began his trip at the beginning of August and rides about six hours daily, though he often trails off of his prepared path.

“I’ve been known to wander,” Mills said. “If there’s the worlds largest popcorn ball just north of me, I’ll go to see it.”

Iowa physician finds fullness in dancing

By Brianna Jett Brianna-jett@uiowa.edu

Art Searle spends his days and nights helping people with their steps.

From dawn till dusk, he is a physical medicine and rehabilitation doctor in Davenport.

“I see people with physical disabilities,” he said. “I see people in the hospital with serious disabilities like a stroke or a head injury and if they get intensive therapy, maybe they can go home instead of going to a nursing home.”

But when the sun falls, Searle focuses on a different type of movement: dance.

Searle spends his evenings on the dance floor aiding new dancers. He often travels to both Iowa City and the Quad Cities to dance.

“I like to dance with lots of different kinds of people,” Searle said. “When I go to dances where I’m a more experienced dancer, I try to see who is new and try to help out new people. I really enjoy that.”

At 64, Searle has been dancing longer than he has been practicing medicine.

He began dancing during his undergraduate years at Grinnell College, and continued dancing through medical school at the University of Iowa.

“It was really the most fun thing I learned in college and the most useful thing really, because I’ve been able to continue it,” he said.

He broke onto the dance

during the first weekend of recruitment to make sure they were adjusting to the influx well, Barnes said.

“The recruitment staff have traveled to a number of chapter events to learn about recruitment and to make sure the chapters are adjusting well,” she said.

“By and large, I would say the chapters are handling the changes spectacularly.

We’ve heard nothing but positive things.”

Barnes said the separate chapter’s budgets were raised to $3,200 in order to provide more beverages and food for the

latino VOTE Continued from 1 time.

“The Latino population has been increasing in the United States as a result of immigration and above-replacement-level fertility,” said Steven Camarota, the director of research at the center.

With an increased number of Latino voters in a close presidential election, some think they may play a big role.

“In a close election, Latinos might well play a very significant or decisive role,” Camarota said. “But the same could be said about of almost any demographic.”

One political expert said

floor through his friends, who took a class in college.

Every week, they would learn a dance from a different country, and Searle wanted in.

“I could see they were having a lot of fun, and so I decided I wanted to get into that activity,” he said. “It was just fun to meet once a week and learn dances.”

Today, Searle dances in many different venues. His favorite dances are barn dances, which include the traditional square dance.

He also does salsa and is the oldest member of the UI Swing Dance Club.

“It’s nice to get the diversity of ages,” said UI Swing Dance Club President Cara Held.

Dancing is very important to Searle, not only because of his age but also because of his personality.

“It’s a great way to stay healthy, mentally active, and have some socializing,” he said. “My personality is that I’m an introvert. A lot of people in dancing are introverts. They enjoy being with people, but it’s nice to have some structure about what to do when you’re with people instead of having to figure out pickup lines and small talk.”

He said he has met many people through dancing, and he is very thankful he learned to dance back in college.

“I’m really glad I got started dancing when I was young,” he said. “But I think people are even better off if they start dancing in kindergarten — early in life.”

Art Searle dances during a practice with the UI Swing Dance Club on Aug. 27. Searle has been swing dancing since college and joined the UI club two years ago. (The Daily Iowan/Jacklyn Couppee) Lorelei Falsetti, 52, a friend and fellow dancer of Searle’s, agreed. She has been dancing for 10 years, although she wished she started sooner.

“You look at some of these experienced dancers, and they look like they’re having so much fun,” she said.

Falsetti said it’s not just Searle’s experience of dancing for more than 40 years that makes him an enjoyable dance partner.

“He’s fun— he knows the steps and knows what he’s doing,” she said. “And on top of that he has a happy attitude.”

From patients to partners, Searle has dedicated his life to helping people—always with a smile on his face.

“When your partner has a smile on her face, it makes you feel good,” Searle said.

“I’ve told partners that about the only mistake you can make is to stop smiling or if you grimace or frown.”

Iowa State University and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have also seen a jump in the number of women participating.

Katy Cran, an assistant director of greek affairs at Iowa State, said officials have seen an increase of around 100 women this fall recruitment.

“We also saw an increase in recruitment this year,” she said. “That was a positive change and with that comes some changes [to the process]. We saw a handful of sophomore and transfer students. There was a growth in all areas — that was a change of, ‘Oh my

gosh, we’re not just dealing with first-year students.’ ” The University of Illinois has also seen a growth in numbers the past few years. Danielle Schuck, the vice president of public relations for the Panhellenic Council at that school, wrote in an email the university had 1,454 women go through recruitment last year.

In 2010, officials reorganized UI recruitment to take place the first two weekends of the fall semester. In previous years, recruitment took place the week before classes, forcing participants to move in early.

In 2011, 741 women registered for recruitment and 481 women finished recruitment. Though officials would not release

the number of women who finished recruitment this year, they did say their retention rates were higher than last fall.

Though it was a “shock” to see that many women go through recruitment, UI Panhellenic officials said they handled the increase very well.

“I don’t think that we have quite seen a jump like that in just one year ever,” said Rachel Zeitlin, the vice president of recruitment for the Panhellenic Council. “I think we’ve handled it perfectly. We noticed the trend from women jumping up this summer, we actually planned for this many women going through recruitment and we were very well prepared for it.”

Latinos do not tend to vote for one specific party and this makes them a focus area for the candidates.

“Unlike black voters, who overwhelmingly vote for the Democrats, Latinos aren’t as monolithic in their voting,” University of Iowa political-science Associate Professor Tim Hagle said.

“They do tend to support Democrats more than Republicans, but depending on the candidate, there is a fairly good variations in terms of how much of their votes will go to the Republicans versus the Democrats.”

The Latino population will be center stage today with the opening of the Democratic National Convention. According to an Obama for America press release, the Iowa Latinos for Obama Lideres Council

members and supporters are hosting viewing parties in 10 Iowa cities to watch San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro deliver the keynote speech tonight. Events are being held in Waterloo, West Liberty, and Bettendorf, among others.

Latinos make up 5.2 percent of Iowa’s population, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. That percentage is 16.7 nationally.

The population of Latino students at the UI has increased over the past several years from 886 in spring 2010 to 1,236 students in spring of 2012, according to the Registrar’s Office.

“I think [Latinos] will determine whether or not Obama gets re-elected,” UI junior Andy Garcia said.

While Latino votes are up for grabs, Hagle said,

it is too early to say which groups will play a major role in the election.

“There will be messages sent to all those groups by various campaigns and interested parties. [The parties] will be trying to get more voters from that group over to their side by tailoring their message to them,” he said. “With Latinos, a lot of messages will deal with family values because that’s very important for a lot of Latinos.”

The sound of a square

By Beau Elliot beauelliot@gmail.com

Alpha Phi leaves the IMU after recruitment on Monday. Fifteen sororities participated in the annual Panhellenic Council Fall Formal Recruitment.

(The Daily Iowan/Joshua Housing)

Greeks can lead university to better overall reputation The University of Iowa is a great school for many reasons, but it has a special notoriety for the wide availability of alcohol and, more recently, the rise in the number of house parties as well as an affiliation with Anheuser-Busch.

While the party-school rankings continue to rise — even if the alcohol-related crime statistics do not — more people look to the UI for a good time, and more students are showing interests in Iowa’s greek community.

This year, greek recruitment for sororities has once again reached record numbers — 131 more young women than last year registered for sorority recruitment.

But the simultaneous increase in party school rankings and increased interest in sorority life does not mean that the two things are related. Yet focusing on the greek community may be the best way to improve the university’s reputation.

The five pillars of greek life promoted by the University of Iowa are community service, scholarship, leadership, opportunities, and friendship. As the university has received far greater attention for the campus social scene, we encourage the interest in sorority life be focused on these pillars to help bring the university’s reputation out of its prolonged alcohol-related infamy.

Recent statistics have illustrated that though the rates of all UI student consumption of alcohol have decreased slightly since 2009, the UI’s rates of alcohol misuse are consistently higher than national averages.

“UI students are worse in regard to almost all alcohol measures including 30-day use (79.9 percent versus 65.9 percent), high-risk drinking (64.1 percent versus 34.1 percent), and percent of students going over the legal intoxication limit last time they drank (58.0 percent versus 33.9 percent),” as reported by a recent National College Health Assessment of the UI. The report also specified that men are overall more likely to use alcohol, but that those involved in fraternities and sororities also are at a higher risk of alcohol consumption. These same findings have been fairly con-

sistent for many years.

Many young women may also be interested in the leadership, philanthropic, and scholastic opportunities offered through sorority involvement. According to one study, some fraternity and sorority members do show signs of greater leadership skills non-greek students, but the increases are modest at best.

Furthermore, the overall average GPA for sororities is higher than the overall GPA for all women at the UI, but only by less than 0.01 of a point. These numbers are less than astounding but still may encourage some students to join sororities.

Overall, however, sororities and fraternities are especially appealing as social entities, and at the UI, some students have a difficult time separating their social life from alcohol.

It’s true that many of the alcohol-related crimes have decreased in number on and near campus, but compared with national statistics, it is no surprise that the UI is the No. 2 party school. Young women interested in greek life undoubtedly know the reputation of the university and are likely familiar with the association between sororities and alcohol consumption.

But as students who participate in the greek culture on campus are exposed to social life, they are also exposed to tenets that are admirable, such as community and scholastic achievement. As formal recruitment continues, we strongly encourage members of the greek community to spread these admirable values above the values of alcohol that are rampant throughout the entire UI student population.

The fracture in the university’s culture must be mended by students, not by administration officials who line their desks with Busch handouts. There is no better community than the greek community to lead the university’s reputation out of the keg.

Your turn.

Is the greek community the best option to improve UI’s reputation?

What does a square sound like?

Is what the 4-yearold (youngest) daughter of a friend of mine asked her.

I’m a failure as a mother, she told me.

But, of course, she was joking about herself, the way we do sometimes. You make jokes about yourself as you get older; life, as it is so good at doing, teaches you.

If life doesn’t teach you that, you’re not listening very well.

Self-deprecating humor is probably what separates humans from the rest of the vegetable kingdom, especially during presidential races.

Which means that Mitt Romney is in trouble, because his attempts at humor sound like broccoli being peeled. Squeak, squeak.

Squawk.

But I digress.

My friend is quite intelligent and knowledgeable (and, yeah, she’s quite beautiful, too — but we put way too much emphasis on how a woman looks), and her children are quite intelligent, too.

Surprise, surprise. Her oldest started reading at 3; I didn’t start reading till I was 4, which I thought was pretty good. Ha-ha.

What does a square sound like? That’s one of the most beautiful questions I’ve ever heard, I told my friend.

(But then, I like Picasso and Duchamps.

Think Nude Descending a Staircase, which is not quite like any nude Playboy has ever entertained, if that’s the word.)

Which brings us to the blue Moon, which most Americans believed is the second full Moon in a month.

Apparently, most Americans don’t understand Blue Moons at that well. Not surprising, given that the Farmers’ Almanac gave the wrong definition in the late-40s and then later corrected it in the late90s, not that anybody paid any attention, outside of NPR. A blue Moon is not two full Moons in one month, as the Almanac proposed back then and as so many believe because they don’t listen to NPR enough. A blue

Moon is the third full Moon in a quarter that has four full Moons.

Knowledge about the blue Moon is about as vague as Paul Ryan’s budget plan. Where are all those budget cuts going to come from?

Nobody knows, except that they are most certainly not going to affect the rich. Cool. Lord knows, the very rich aren’t yet rich enough; they can barely afford that fifth yacht. Let’s see: one for France, one for Italy, one for the Caribbean, one for Singapore, and one for the Seychelles, because it’s cool to visit some islands about to disappear underwater due to global whatchamacallit — which only exists in the fevered minds of liberal fanatics.

And to set the record straight: Obama’s plan to save $716 billion in Medicare spending does not gut the program, according to dozens of sources, it extends the life of the program. It in no way cuts benefits for the seniors it serves, unlike what the Good Ship Mitt would like you to believe.

And it’s interesting to note that Republican vice-presidential nominee Paul Ryan’s much ballyhooed budget plan (by the GOP, anyway) includes the same $716 or so billion move on Medicare.

It’s also interesting to note that Ryan,in his speech to the GOP Convention, blamed Obama for GM closing its plant in Janesville, Wis., which happens to be in his Congressional district.

What’s interesting is that the Janesville GM plant closed when George W. Bush was president. So Obama is responsible for the plant’s closing how, exactly?

Which brings us to the fact that Mitt would like you to believe what he believes now is nothing like what he persuaded you to believe he thought five or six years ago.

So, if Obama says that’s a maple tree, Romney says that’s a pine tree, even though the tree has been tapped and producing maple sugar.

So what does a square sound like?

I think we now know.

Calling for fairness

It seems like this year is all about fairness — at least it’s a huge question that both political parties are having major disputes over.

Is it fair to prohibit someone from marrying within his or her own sex? Is it fair that ID laws are an issue in so many states?

Is it fair that women make 77 cents to $1 that a man makes?

Your ideology will guide you on whether you say “yes” or “no” to these questions.

However, it is absolutely not fair that one political group on campus is put into public light for an illegal action when the other is not. That is one thing no can dispute.

Earlier this year in April, when the presidential election seemed eons away, University Democrat President Nathan Fiala was charged with possessing

an open container of alcohol in a vehicle.

Even though it’s considered a simple misdemeanor in Iowa and one that many college students nationwide know very well, Fiala resigned from his position in respect to his office.

A specific story was published in The Daily Iowan that not only identified him as the University Democrat’s president but put brought his charge into public light.

Fast-forward five months later. It’s a charged environment politically. It’s Democrats against Republicans, and the stakes seem like they couldn’t be higher. Both sides know half the battle is image and how they’re presented to the world.

So, it’s interesting that when College Republicans President Kelsey Boehm was charged with unlawful use of an authentic

driver’s license, public intoxication, presence in a bar after hours, and interference with official acts, there was no story and no recognition that she serves as the president of the College Republicans, and there was certainly no resignation.

How fair is that?

RE: “Tilly: UI’s inconsistency with reality,” Aug. 31

The University of Iowa’s first interest should be the health and well-being of all students, 70 percent of whom are not old enough to drink at any given time. The lack of proactivity and transparency is appalling.

The school logos are a tacit endorsement of Happy Hour Central as usual. Shame on Sally

Mason and the beer distributor who perpetrated this outrageous stunt — Claire Celsi, Iowa Alcoholic Beverages commissioner, West Des Moines.

You can’t stop college students from drinking. These campaigns that the UI has been putting on for the past four or five years have been a waste of money. AlcoholEdu, for example, is commonly made fun of by students and nobody takes it seriously.

From my own experiences, it seems like most of the kids who get in trouble with alcohol are ones who had restrictive parents and college is their first experience with alcohol. Since they are free now, they take advantage of it and get themselves in trouble. Those of us who had alcohol in high school

didn’t see alcohol as a big deal and already knew how far you can push it.

RE: “Kuntz: Eliminate sexual assault in military,” Aug. 31, 2012

There is a little bit of denial and delusional thinking here.

The military is known to obsess over fact-of-life issues and to crank out headlines that are not very realistic.

How men think about women generally takes a lifetime of family and environmental fac-

tors as they are growing up as young boys. Delusional types in the military think they are just going to change that lifetime of development by throwing a bunch of psychiatrists in their faces.

It isn’t gonna happen.

Everyone outside the military should lower their expectations for results in this approach. You can lead a horse to water, as the old saying goes. And this is a lot closer to the real world that we live in.

The military needs to get over its sorry self and learn to accept fact of life issues for what they are and move on.

On the flip side of this debate, doing “something” is better than nothing at all. But this plan teeters on denial that nothing can really be done.

Number of Iowa West Nile cases ‘consistent’

By NICK HASSETT nicholas-hassett@uiowa.edu

Johnson County citizens have so far been able to avoid any signs of West Nile virus, but officials say citizens still need to be vigilant.

Around the nation, reports of West Nile have escalated, with Texas being particularly affected.

In Iowa, five confirmed cases were reported in Grundy, Linn, Lyon, Page, and Plymouth Counties, according to the Iowa Department of Public Health website.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that cases of the West Nile, a disease spread by mosquitoes, are at the highest level since the organization began tracking the disease in 1999.

This year the CDC has recorded 1,118 confirmed cases of the virus in 47 states, including 41 deaths as a result of the disease.

Most of the reports of the virus have come from Southern states. In fact, Texas alone is responsible for over half of the reported cases of the virus, with 537 this year.

The five cases in Iowa are not unusual, Deputy State Epidemiologist Ann Garvey said.

“It’s been consistent with previous years,” she said. “We had nine confirmed cases all of last year, and we will continue to watch for reports. We have several cases that we are currently investigating.”

Fall is also the prime season for the West Nile, Garvey said, with August and September in particular being the months with the highest number of cas-

es.

Iowa State University Associate Professor Ken Holscher, who specializes in human and livestock pests, said mosquito populations are exceedingly low this year.

“From spring to the present, we just have not been seeing the number of mosquitoes we usually see,” he said.

Mosquitoes like to breed in temporary pools of water, he said.

“What we usually see, such as in the summer of 2010 with heavy rainfall, is low-lying areas that flood and create pools of water that are perfect for mosquitoes to lay eggs in,” he said, noting that the drought over the summer has affected the breeding patterns of mosquitoes.

With the drought, he said, those pools of water were very hard to find, as the resulting effect on the mosquito population shows.

However, while the mosquitoes lay eggs in water, Garvey said, the Iowa River is not a prime location for mosquitoes.

“They mostly breed in stagnant, standing water,” she said. “However, any body of water can be suspect.”

But Lyric Bartholomay, the supervisor of the Iowa State Medical Entomology Laboratory, said that particularly during a drought, even the running water of the Iowa River can create breeding areas for mosquitoes.

“There is tremendous potential for mosquitoes to breed in previously rapid, flowing water, because in times of drought, standing pools of water can be created, even in rivers,” she

said.

Although the drought may have created some conditions for mosquitoes to breed, Holscher believes it is currently too late in the season to see more mosquitoes, even if Iowa receives more rain in the coming weeks.

“I just don’t think we’re going to be inundated with West Nile cases from here until the end of the year,” Holscher said. “[In order for mosquitoes to lay eggs], water has to remain for a period of a week to 10 days.”

While no local cases of West Nile have turned up, Bartholomay and Iowa officials say citizens should keep their guard up.

“The West Nile virus is a really, really serious disease,” she said. “While the vast majority who contract it don’t get sick, some get West Nile fever, which can get so serious you have to be hospitalized.”

The Public Health Department also has several steps for citizens to take to protect themselves against West Nile and other mosquito-borne diseases, including using insect repellent, avoiding outdoor activities at dusk and dawn, when mosquitoes are most active, and wearing long-sleeved clothing whenever possible outdoors.

Holscher and other officials say it’s hard to predict how much a threat West Nile poses.

“I have no clue how mosquito populations will look next spring, because precipitation patterns flow so much, from the flood of 2008 to the heavy rainfall of the summer of 2010,” Holscher said. “We’ll just have to wait and see what happens.”

METRO Man faces drug charge An Iowa City man faces felony drug charges after he allegedly sold marijuana.

According to an Iowa City police complaint, Alex Perry, 18, 2631 Lakeside Drive Apt. 12, was charged after officers approached Perry and a group of

others loitering on the steps of 2401 Highway 6 E. Apt. 44. As the officers approached, the complaint said they observed some of the subjects making “furtive movements.”

The officers observed a marijuana blunt on the steps near Perry, according to the complaint. The complaint said offi-

cers searched Perry and located packaging material, cash consistent with drug sales, and a larger bag containing several grams of marijuana. Other subjects allegedly admitted they had just got marijuana from Perry.

Perry is charged with possession of marijuana with intent to deliver, a Class-D felony.

IOWA 3, VALPARAISO 1

2 soccer wins don’t impress coach

By Tom Clos thomas-clos@uiowa.edu

The Iowa women’s soccer team carried a pair of streaks into the third weekend of the season.

They finally allowed a goal, but they still haven’t lost.

And yet, head coach Ron Rainey wants more.

Sophomore defenseman Melanie Pickert scored the first goal of her career as the Hawkeyes held off Valparaiso, 3-1, at the Iowa Soccer Complex on Sunday.

The victory moved Iowa to 6-0 on the season as well as kept it undefeated in its last 1 nonconference matches dating back to Sept. 17, 2010. The Hawkeyes have outscored their opponents 62-7 during that stretch.

“Valparaiso did a good job of keeping the ball in front of them and getting into a rhythm,” Rainey said. “We did a good job of not letting them in behind us, especially in the first 20, 25 minutes of the second half.”

Rainey was happy his team made it through Sunday unscathed, but he wasn’t completely satisfied with his team’s performance. Though the team has had good results, he said, much has remained unfulfilled thus far.

“We have to make sure that if we’re on the field, we’re making plays,” Rainey said. “That’s a challenge for our group right now that we hope gets addressed soon.”

He engaged the group at halftime with a rousing speech that stressed avoiding complacency and being sharper in certain areas of play.

“We’re seeing some moments that we like, but good teams get better week to week,” Rainey said. “If we see anything that bucks a trend of constant improvement, we have to challenge our team to get better.”

Pickert’s goal in the fourth minute was off of a free kick 25 yards out on the right side of the field.

She banked her shot off of the top of the far post. The Canton, Mich., native said the improbable goal was something on which she

Iowa midfielder Dana Dalrymple fights off the Valparaiso defense at the Iowa Soccer Complex on Sunday. The Hawkeyes won, 3-1. (The Daily Iowan/Leslie Stake) had been working.

“Walking up to the ball I was like, ‘Should I shoot this?’ and then I thought, ‘Heck, I’ll just go for it,’” Pickert said. “I’ve been practicing those a lot so it just felt good to see it go in.”

Sophomore forward Cloe Lacasse and senior defenseman/midfielder Dana Dalrymple closed out the scoring for Iowa to keep the team unbeaten in 2012, but the same can’t be said for the Hawkeyes’ goalkeepers.

The team’s 300-plusday shutout streak died in Ames in the Hawkeyes’ 3-1 victory on Aug. 31. It was first regulation goal against Iowa’s since Oct. 23, 2011, in a 6-1 win over Northwestern.

Freshman goalie Hannah Clark was happy to be 6-0 but not thrilled about the team yielding a pair of goals this weekend.

“It was a mental breakdown from our team,” she said. “It was our fault defensively that we gave the

ball up, instead of a good goal by our opponents.”

The shutout streak aside, Sunday capped off a threeweek stretch for the Black and Gold in which the Hawkeyes outscored the opposition, 21-2, while outshooting their foes, 119-57.

Rainey continued to ask for more out of his team because he knows that better teams and tougher tasks await.

“We’re just three weeks into the season; we’ve got to get better for week four and week five.” Rainey said.

Thirty carries, 176 total yards, and a game-winning touchdown run later, we should all have learned our lesson. Let Bullock himself explain.

“We always knew we could run the ball, no matter who it is in the backfield,” he said. “We’ve got a great offensive line, a great coaching staff. It doesn’t matter who’s in the game — we can run the ball.”

Bullock played an out-

Players admitted to being caught off-guard early.

Junior linebacker James Morris said there was little film to dissect in order to better prepare for the Huskies’ offense, because Huskie offensive coordinator Mike Dunbar only arrived this season from New Mexico State.

“I thought we played pretty well, but give [the Huskies] credit,” Mor-

ris said after the game.

“They’re a good offensive team. We figured things out. They had a new offensive coordinator, so we didn’t know what to do. We were watching New Mexico State film.”

The defensive line didn’t get consistent pressure, but two big sacks from Dominic Alvis and Joe Gaglione helped. Gaglione’s hit jarred the ball loose from Lynch, allow-

ing fellow defensive tackle Carl Davis to swoop in and recover the ball at the Northern Illinois 14-yard line.

Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz acknowledged that his defenses of past have struggled against dual-threat quarterbacks.

“Obviously, we didn’t do a great job of [containing Lynch],” Ferentz said.

“We expected him to be a really tough competitor.

We knew that was going to be a challenge for us, and they did a nice job with a game plan for him spreading us out.”

Still, with Iowa State, Northwestern, and Michigan remaining on the schedule, the Iowa defense needs to improve greatly if it wants to battle quarterbacks who can run.

She didn’t expect to score — she held the same mindset during the Black and Gold scrimmage during the beginning of the year. She scored there, too.

standing game on Saturday. He handled a punishing workload and carried an otherwise struggling offense on his shoulders. But it seems he’s right: it might not matter much who is in the backfield for Iowa.

The Hawkeyes have had some hard-to-explain bad luck at running back.

They’ve lost a lot of productive players to injuries, transfers, suspensions, and “personal reasons.” But before they vanished from the program, all those backs had first popped up as replacements for other departed runners.

The Iowa men’s cross-country team started off the season strong with a victory in the Early Bird Open on Aug. 31 in Macomb, Ill. Because of the high temperatures, the men ran a 6-kilometer race instead of Lewis the usual 8 kilometers. Rain also helped to cool down the runners.

The summer practices paid off with all six Iowa runners finishing the race in the top 10.

Sophomore Kevin Lewis was the first runner to cross the finish line from any squad, winning with a career best 18:35.

Right behind Lewis in second place was junior Jon Michael Brandt at 18:44, also a career best.

Though Brandt was satisfied with his performance, he was less concerned with individual finishes but rather how the team did as a whole.

“It was a really good opener,” he said. “It showed the work and quality of work that everyone put in this summer and that we all have a common goal, and everyone was working toward it.”

Junior Sam Chaney took third at 18:53.

In his first college race, freshman Anthony Gregorio finished fifth with a time of 18:58. Freshman Taylor Soltys took seventh at 19:10, followed by sophomore Sam Fourman with an eight-place finish at 19:12.

Head coach Larry Wiezcorek was pleased with the squad’s performance.

“I think we accomplished our goal of getting off to a strong start,” he said in a release on Aug. 31.

The Hawkeye men hit the road again on Friday for the Bradley Open in Peoria, Ill. This will be the first race of the season for some harriers, including seniors Nick Holmes and Cameron Rieger.

1 game, Hyde claimed he knew Iowa could come out of Chicago as the victor.

“We knew we were going to be in it,” he said.

“We knew it was going to come down to the fourth quarter. We knew we had to keep fighting. We made a mistake and they had a long run, but we came back to the sideline and the coaches were yelling at us to keep our heads up and go make plays.”

Women harriers win Men runners The Iowa women’s cross-country team got off to a fast start victorious in Ill. in its first race of the season on Aug. 31, winning the Early Bird Open hosted by Western Illinois.

The Hawkeye team was represented well, with the team’s five competing runners —Brooke Bierhaus, Jocelyn Todd, Kath- Rehn erin Rehn, Lena Placzek, and Rachel Price — all finishing in the top eight.

The women dominated the 4K race — a shortened distance because of the high temperature —with Rehn taking first place with a time of 14:51. Placzek took second with a time of 15:05, Todd finished fourth in 15:41, Price finished sixth at 15:52, and Bierhaus wrapped up the day for the Hawkeyes, finishing in eighth place with a time of 16:10.

“It went well,” head coach Layne Anderson said. “We won the meet, and we had the individual event winner … the ladies ran well.”

The meet was fairly low-key, he said, but the team will compete in much larger events this month. In particular, the Toledo Bubble Buster will likely be a meet that will boost the Hawkeye’s strength of schedule on Sept. 21.

“It’ll be unique, running a little more competitively earlier on this season,” he said. “Last year, we were supposed to go to Toledo but ended up going to Loyola, where we ran well, but it didn’t factor into the at-large process at the end [of the season].”

Anderson noted the importance of running well this month, especially in the next two meets, the Bradley Open in Peoria, Ill., and the Bubble Buster.

“Running against San Francisco and Arkansas and some of these teams that are outside of our region, and traditionally strong teams, should go well for our team,” he said. “So if we run well at Toledo, then it could help us at the end of the season in terms of getting us into the national meet if we don’t qualify automatically.”

Sports

Wegher and Adam Robinson emerge. They leave by the end of the next season, and Marcus Coker is suddenly an impressive workhorse.

He transfers, and almost all his backups from last season vanish from the picture?

That leaves Bullock.

And, to everyone’s great surprise, he can play, too.

The Mansfield, Texas, native was never breathtaking against Northern Iowa. He didn’t plow through, spin around, or hurdle over any tacklers.

He just waited patiently for a hole to open, planted and cut through it, and ran until somebody tackled him. It was a steady

performance.

And maybe that’s all Iowa needs out of its running backs. Because while the team’s offensive line struggled to protect quarterback James Vandenberg, it opened some big lanes for Bullock in the running game. Especially on his 23-yard touchdown late in the fourth quarter that won the game for the Hawkeyes.

Iowa trailed by 5 points with fewer than three minutes left, needing 9 yards to keep the team’s hopes alive. Despite having a senior quarterback, and after all the hand-wringing over the

team. Juniors Rachael Bedell and Nikki Dailey and sophomore Lovell were honored. Lovell recorded 41 kills over the three matches, and Bedell totaled 38 kills and 28 digs. The team’s setter, Dailey, paced the Hawkeyes with 128 assists.

The welcome home party wasn’t everything Michigan natives Alex Lovell, Alessandra Dietz, and Erin Leppek had hoped for.

Hawkeye volleyball went 2-1 over the weekend at the Golden Grizzly Invitational in Lovell Oakland, Mich., with the team’s lone loss coming in their last match.

Oakland, the tournament host, came back from a 0-2 set deficit to prevent the Hawkeyes from a perfect weekend and a tournament championship.

“We played some great volleyball this weekend,” head coach Sharon Dingman said. “We put ourselves in the position to win [the tournament], but we just fell short. We were disappointed to not win the championship.”

The Hawkeyes started the weekend with consecutive fourset wins over Eastern Illinois and Toledo before the letdown against Oakland. Iowa started with two set wins (25-22, 25-16) in that match, but then faltered after halftime. The Hawkeyes played well early, recording a .417 kill percentage in the first set. They followed that up with a strong second set, killing the ball at a .324 clip.

“Being up 2-0 and losing the match to Oakland was hard,” Dingman said. “We struggled to get kills. Also our inability to stop Oakland’s middle [blockers] hurt us.”

Oakland had two players register an above-.300 kill percentage. Taylor Humm killed the ball 20 times while hitting .308, and Brittany Holbrook recorded 14 kills while hitting .385. Those performances, coupled with the play of Meghan Bray who had 21 kills, doomed the Hawkeyes.

Dingman’s squad had four players with double-digit kills but was unable to hold off the late surge of the Golden Grizzlies.

Despite not capturing the tournament title, the weekend came with some recognition — the Hawkeyes had three players who made the all-tournament

Big Ten honors Meyer

The Big Ten announced on Monday that Iowa kicker Mike Meyer shared the Special Teams Player of the Week award following the Hawkeyes’ 18-17 victory over Northern Illinois on Sept. 1.

Meyer’s fourth-quarter kick — a field goal good for 50 yards — spurred a rally that let the Black and Gold take the narrow victory.

Meyer tied several personal records as he went 4-for-5 in field-goal attempts in the Hawkeyes’ season opener. He made kicks of 34, 29, 22, and 50, with the half-fielder tying his personal record set last season against Iowa State. The 6-2 kicker’s four successful field goals also tied his career-high, which he set against Indiana in 2010 and tied against the Cyclones in 2011.

The placekicker enters his junior season seeking to continually improve. Meyer’s busy weekend brings his career totals to 171 points and 32-of-42 attempts (.762). The Dubuque native took responsibility for every field goal, extra point, and kickoff for the Hawkeyes in 2011, acting as the team’s only kicker.

He connected on 14-of-20 last season and achieved a perfect 44-of-44 in point after touchdown attempts.

Meyer earned the Big Ten Special Teams Player of the Week in 2010 as a true freshman and also earned co-national placekicker Performer of the Week honors that same year. This is Meyer’s second conference honor.

Meyer is on the watch list for the Lou Groza Award, which is awarded to the best special-team placekicker in the country at the end of the season.

team’s running-back situation, the Hawkeyes did the only thing that had worked all day. They handed the ball to Bullock.

He turned the corner and saw that crushing blocks from linemen Matt Tobin and Brandon Scherff and tight end C.J. Fiedorowicz had cleared the way to the end zone.

Bullock knew what to do.

“Sprint,” he said. “Run as fast as you can. We needed a touchdown really bad, so when I saw daylight, I had to get there.”

Sounds pretty simple.

And, for Hawkeye running backs, maybe it is.

Iowa squeaks by Huskies in Chicago

Iowa’s defense demonstrated a ‘short memory’ on Sept. 1, shutting down Northern Illinois late in the game after allowing a few big plays.

By Ben Ross

benjamin-d-ross@uiowa.edu

CHICAGO — Micah Hyde had a tough time early in the game against Northern Illinois.

The senior cornerback was called for pass interference late in the second

quarter. And he got beat to the sideline for a 25-yard completion to receiver Martel Moore on the very next play.

Hyde had cost the Hawkeye defense 40 yards in two plays. But Iowa stiffened and held North-

ern Illinois to a field goal.

“As a corner, you need to have a short memory,” Hyde said. “We just put our foot down. Throughout the game we had a couple mistakes, but we fought through them and kept executing our plays.”

The Hawkeye defense looked lost at times during Iowa’s narrow 18-17 victory. The Black and Gold’s D-line allowed only 55 yards through the air, but let the Huskie offense take command for the majority of the game. Northern Il-

linois quarterback Jordan Lynch racked up 119 rushing yards.

The biggest defensive blunder of the game came when Lynch scampered for 73 yards and a touchdown on a designed quarterback draw play on third-and-8

early in the third quarter. Iowa safeties Tanner Miller and Tom Donatell collided with each other to give Lynch a clear path to the end zone.

But like Hyde, the see defense, 12

Field hockey goes Bear hunting Hawks still

By Cody Goodwin

Iowa has lost plenty of running backs in the last few years. But after Damon Bullock’s performance on Sept. 1, it seems as if it can always come up with a new one.

cody-goodwin@uiowa.edu

The Iowa field-hockey team has a history of scoring 10 goals against Missouri State. The Hawks outscored the Bears 10-2 last year.

This year was no different. An offensive frenzy led Iowa (2-1) to a 10-0 victory over the Bears (0-3) on Sept. 1.

Missouri State kept Iowa at bay during the first 13 minutes of Sunday’s game.

The Black and Gold controlled and dominated the time-of-possession battle but were unable to penetrate the net cleanly.

Jessica Barnett took initiative at the 11:55 mark of the first half.

What began as a penalty corner for the Hawks turned into a save for the Bears.

Barnett took the rebound and snuck it underneath the last line of defense for the game’s first goal.

Exactly six minutes later, the senior tallied another goal on another penalty corner, playing a beautiful slap-shot goal to put Iowa up, 2-0.

“We say all the time, regardless of the result, that it’s a team effort,” head coach Tracey Griesbaum said.

“I think today, we had a lot of people have good minutes and good playing time.”

The Hawks’ offensive attack was widely spread all afternoon, and 10 Hawkeyes recorded a shot on goal.

Eight were able to find the back of the net, with two Hawkeyes producing 2 goals apiece in Barnett and Natalie Cafone.

Iowa created 35 total shots on goal. It

The Black and Gold also generated 19 penalty corners throughout the game, while only allowing one.

That lone penalty corner for Missouri State was its only hope for a goal.

The Bears were outmatched and bullied from the first whistle; they didn’t collect a single shot on senior Iowa goalie Kathleen McGraw.

This was due in large part to the persistent offensive attack from Iowa, but assistant coach Meghan Beamesderfer gave the defense a lot of credit.

She said the past week at practice was great, and Sunday’s performance clearly showed it.

“We definitely kept gaining momentum throughout the entire game,” Beamesderfer said. “We just have to stay with this positive energy and keep moving forward.”

Griesbaum, while admitting the players could still improve upon the double-digit shutout, was pleased with the performance from her team.

They followed the game plan and played stingy defense.

But what surprised the head coach the most was the play of a freshman. Young Cafone accounted for 2 of Iowa’s goals and 6 of their shots.

CHICAGO — Even Kirk Ferentz admitted he “didn’t know what to expect” out of Damon Bullock. And if Bullock’s own head coach felt that way leading up to Iowa’s escape from Soldier Field on Sept. 1, you could forgive people outside the program for having doubts.

Bullock, essentially, was the last man standing at running back. His 10 career carries for 20 yards didn’t comfort fans and observers. They had so little faith in the sophomore that his presence on the field could only be explained by a curse. see commentary, 12
