INDIANOLA, Iowa — In some ways, it’s the end of a Democratic Party era. Still, in other ways, it could prove to be just the beginning.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton dangled the beginning pieces of presidential bait in front of some of her most vigilant supporters on Sun-day in the closing minutes of the final Harkin Steak Fry in Indianola.

With a massive America flag span-ning more than 20 feet, dozens of hay-stacks, the state’s green rolling hills, and fellow party powerhouses sur-

rounding her, Rodham Clinton shied off claims that she was ready to jump into presidential politics — at least for the time being.

“Well, it’s true. I am thinking about,” she told the estimated audience of 10,000. “But for today, that is not why I’m here. I’m here for the steak.”

Between screams from the crowd — that at times hinted that guests were at a concert rather than in America’s Heartland in the middle of September — the all-smiles Rodham Clinton told stories of how retiring Sen. Tom Har-kin, D-Iowa, played a pivotal role in

UI reconstruction stays local

The construction boom re-lated to the 2008 flooding has opened up the doors for more distant, possible out-of-state contractors to be more competi-tive with local workers, but Iowa companies still remain in the majority.

Such massive demolition, restoration, and rebuilding projects created a surplus of work for construction compa-nies around Iowa, said Rod

Lehnertz, the director of plan-ning, design, and construction at the University of Iowa Facil-ities Management.

As a state agency, Lehnertz said, the university is required to publicly bid all of its con-struction projects and select the lowest bidder.

“We are by state mandate re-quired to award to the lowest responsible bidder,” he said. “So if a contractor from outside the borders of Iowa comes in and bids on a project, if they are the low bidder, they would

be awarded that contract.”Lehnertz said an out-of-

state contractor having the lowest bid is usually not the case but that is becom-ing more common because local contractors have an increasing amount of work and are not as often bidding on projects.

Currently out of the 221 construction projects the UI has going, 86 percent are held by contractors in Iowa and 14

INDIANOLA, Iowa — In an open field strewn with folding chairs and hay barrels, Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, said goodbye to his fellow Democrats at the 37th and final Harkin Steak Fry in the warm company of an estimated 10,000 supporters.

A humble and appreciative Harkin took the stage at the National Balloon Classic Balloon Field in Indianola to thank all who supported him over the years.

“I stand on the shoulders of giants — you — my fellow Democrats and my fellow Iowans,” he said. “You trusted me.

You worked your hearts out for me.” Harkin’s departure signals a turn for

the Democrats and, for many, a need to keep a Democrat in his U.S. Senate seat. The event served primarily as a farewell party for the retiring senator but also as a platform for hopeful Dem-ocratic candidates this November.

“With the right people in office and the right hearts and a willingness to work, our government can do good things for people in this country,” he said.

This year’s keynote speakers were former President Bill Clinton and for-mer Secretary of State Hillary Rodham

By MICHAEL KADRIEmichael-kadrie@uiowa.edu

Sitting on his bike’s handlebars as the frame stood in a perfect vertical, professional BMX rider Terry Adams attracted small crowds of spectators through-out Iowa City over the weekend.

He spent Sept. 12 and 13 traveling around Iowa City to locations such as the Waterfront Hy-Vee and Brothers Bar and Grill, doing impromptu demonstrations to help promote Red Bull, one of his sponsors.

Adams specializes in a style of riding known as flatland BMX.

Unlike racing and park BMX, flatland focuses on the steady execution of tricks, often designed by the rider, on smooth, flat surfaces without ramps, jumps, or grind rails. Adams said it is most popular in Asia, though there are competitions that take place across the globe.

“It’s more of the artis-tic side of BMX riding,”

he said. “It’s basically taking your mind and your bike and being as creative as you can be as you create the tricks in your head.”

The precocious Louisi-ana native discovered flat-land BMX at the age of 12 and was entering compe-titions at the professional level by the age of 16.

“There was a period in there where it was noth-ing but bike riding for five or 10 hours a day,” Adams said.

In 2005 he won the gold medal for flatland BMX in the X Games held in Seoul, South Korea. He also received Ride BMX Magazine’s Number One Ride Award, one of the sport’s most prestigious distinctions, in both 2005 and 2008.

Adams is preparing for the finals of the flatland BMX world circuit, which are held in Japan in mid-October.

This visit to Iowa City is the final stop of a two-week promotional tour, organized by Red Bull, through several Mid-western college towns.

Instead of promoting show times, Red Bull takes a less invasive approach to product pro-motion, Adams said.

“I just kind of pedal around campus,” he said. “Find some flat spots that I would nor-mally ride and authen-tically do my thing, and if students want to stop by and check it out, then they do.”

Iowa State senior Matthew Bogenschultz, who watched the perfor-mance at Brothers, said he didn’t understand why Adams had to do the demonstration on the cramped dance floor.

He said it probably contributed to the occa-sionally underwhelming nature of the perfor-mance.

“I thought that given the area he had to work with he put on a good show, Bogenschultz said.

University of Iowa senior John Zanussi enjoyed the performance and venue, and he said he assumed the location was chosen to reach as many people as possible.

“It looked like pretty tight conditions for him; he’s probably used to riding to more open spaces where he can move around,” Zanussi said.

UI senior Denzel Bingaman, a freelance photographer hired to take photos of Adams for Red Bull, said the subse-quent pavement-bound performances on Sat-urday did prove to be a more exciting experience.

“It was wildly impres-sive,” Bingaman said. “That level of creativity on a bike was something I’d never really imagined before.”

Although Adams said flatland BMX is his pas-sion, the ongoing feeling of pressure to perform at a high-level in a high-scrutiny environ-ment is sometimes diffi-cult. However, he said, it is never debilitating.

“The second everyone knows who you are is the moment you start to get criticized and the pres-sure is on you to progress and stay on top of your game,” he said.

By NICHOLAS MOFFITTnicholas-moffitt@uiowa.edu

A section of the Univer-sity of Iowa English-Phi-losophy Building could be closed for up to five weeks starting this week, one UI official said.

Dan Heater, the direc-tor of building and land-scape services for UI Fa-cilities Management, said air samples have tested positive for numerous types of mold in an area of the building used by teaching assistants.

The mold has been found in numerous spots in the

west wing of EPB, includ-ing some of the walls and air registers, said UI Pro-fessor Steve Duck, the chairman of the Rhetoric Department.

He said the mold has been contained in those ar-eas, so the rest of the EPB is safe for use.

The discovery was origi-nally made on Aug. 21, but Heater said the mold could have been around longer in an area that is unoccupied during the summer.

“The custodians who checked it noticed humidi-ty and moisture issues,” he said. “We then had to get

the air tested by environ-mental health and safety.”

Although the original findings were in August, Heater said the area had more recently been closed off pending test results.

Teaching-assistant offic-es have been relocated to Seashore Hall, something Duck said has not been too much of a hassle.

“The Seashore sixth floor was open because of previ-ous renovations and re-pairs,” he said. “So we were able to move into there.”

Duck said the current es-timate for the reopening of the mold-stricken portions

are around five weeks. Restoration and cleaning of that area will begin this week.

Because officials don’t know the level of damage, the cost is still up in the air, Heater said. The cost won’t be determined until the end of the project.

Heater said one factor contributing to cost is re-placing furniture. Any sort of upholstered or cloth items will most likely need to be thrown away, which can raise the cost of the project substantially, he said.

One student with class-es in the building said he

hadn’t been notified about the mold and felt it was irresponsible for the UI to not inform students.

“The musty smell has been worse than when you normally walk in, but we haven’t really been told anything,” UI senior Josh Schirm said.

Duck said while there are potential health risks with the mold, officials have received no reports of health issues.

Potential symptoms re-lated to mold could include stuffiness, eye irritation, wheezing, and skin irrita-

tion, according to the Cen-ters for Disease Control and Prevention website. Prolonged exposure could also lead to fever or short-ness of breath.

Now that the mold has been pinpointed, facil-ities management will work along side Ser-viceMaster 380 of Ce-dar Rapids —a disaster cleanup and restoration company — to get the building section in shape to be reopened.

“We’re really hoping it will be clear in the five weeks,” Duck said.

School District reports test scores

The Iowa City School District has reported data from the Iowa Assessment scores that show that the district is excelling nationally.

The students in all tested grades, third through 11th, excelled in all testing subjects, School Board President Chris Lynch said.

According to the report, all grades were in the 59th to 86th percentile in all of the subjects.

To continue this trend, which was also seen in 2011 and 2012, the district is implementing new programs.

One program is Leadership for Student Learning, which will help the students who may be falling behind in certain areas of study, Lynch said.

The district is also planning on observing classrooms to what other improvements could be made to optimize the learning environment, Lynch said. This plan will involve assessing student’s areas of improvement correlating to the faculty and technologies used in the classroom.

Iowa City high schools are also exceeding the national average for the ACT test. The average composite score for the class of 2014 was 22. While this is a slight decrease from last year, which averaged

at 22.1, it is still higher than the national average of 21.

“We had more students take it than ever before,” Lynch said. “When more students take it, it is more likely that we will see success.”

This year, 68 percent of students chose to take the ACT, which is not required in Iowa. That is an increase from the 66 percent of students who took it in 2013.

“We see this growth as a step in the right direction,” Lynch said.

Rice allegedly had the victim’s PlaySta-tion and headphones.

I grew up watching football. My father played in college, and my younger brother has been groomed since elementary school to hopefully do the same. I attended cheerleading camp one summer … it wasn’t for me. But I never stopped loving the game as a spec-tator. Football brings back some of the fondest memories of my childhood.

Although I can’t necessarily recall for sure, I have to believe that the celebrity sta-tus of today’s profes-sional football players exceeds that of foot-ball players 10 years ago, at least on some level. Well-known players are perceived as super-human both on and off the field.

Sports hold a unique power to ignite a conversation about social realities that are more than just a game. Unfortu-nately, now that the NFL has been cor-nered by the media’s release of Ray Rice publicly assaulting his then-fiancée, a conversation that should have happened months ago has been forced.

The conversation has taken a variety of directions, all of which detract from the issue at hand: As an NFL player, Rice deserves no leeway for his actions, either from the law or from the NFL. It is not the public’s place to ques-tion why Janay Rice continues to stand by her husband, because we cannot possibly empathize with that intimate of a perspec-tive, nor to question the integrity of the

media for suddenly releasing the video as an act of sensation-alization, despite the fact that the NFL had already seen it.

It may have oc-curred in a round-about way, but the conversation is here, so let’s have it.

There is no place for the tolerance of domestic violence in the NFL, where young fans such as myself 10 years ago are ill-equipped to imagine the man on the field as a man off the field. There is also no place for cover-ups of domestic violence committed by the NFL’s players; the NFL can’t baby-sit, but it is in a posi-tion to appropriately reprimand. And when punishments for inap-propriate tweets seem to be on the same page as punishments for domestic violence, a clear message is not being sent.

No parent wants to have to explain to their child that their favorite player was cut from their favor-ite team because he was caught beating his wife, but the fact is, this decision should have been in-ternally made months ago, an error on the NFL’s part.

I feel for Janay Rice’s statement of disgust with the media, for digging up pain she has probably buried far, far down in her mind, but this is unfortunately an example that needs to be set for the sake of impressionable young fans. The media have the NFL’s hands tied.

It becomes harder and harder to disso-ciate the aura of the professional athlete from corruption and exceptions. I hope, for the sake of my own kids, that precedents continue to be set … not in a forced manner, but with an active mind, for the good of the game.

THE DAILY IOWAN DAILYIOWAN.COM MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 15 , 20144

Don’t force the climate change issueWith the 2014 elections inching closer, both global and

domestic affairs are reaching critical points. Among these issues, for better or worse, climate change is at the bot-tom of the pile.

Russia is violating NATO and U.N. policies by inciting unrest in Ukraine. ISIS is beheading U.S. journalists. Tensions between Gaza and Israel are reaching a break-ing point. Western Africa is stricken with an Ebola out-break that, if left unchecked, could spread to many other countries. The collective debt owed by American college graduates for financial aid is larger than the credit-card debt owed by the entire nation. Instances of police brutal-ity against young African-American males have incited public unrest in the small town of Ferguson, Missouri, and sparked a national conversation on the role of police. And voters feel helpless in the face of it all.

But elections are chances for voters to have their voices heard. They are chances for a citizenry to finally affect the policies of the nation by electing a representative Congress. They want to elect a Congress that will press the issues that they think demand attention, and climate change simply isn’t on that list. The American voting population won’t be able to look that far ahead into the future when there are so many critical issues that demand attention now.

And still, candidates and activists are trying — and fail-ing — to politicize it. In a series of attack ads, billionaire Tom Steyer’s Super PAC accused Florida Gov. Rick Scott of benefitting from oil companies. Fact-checkers found this to be false, but Steyer presents this as fact. Steyer has recent-ly run several ads attacking Iowa senate candidate Joni Ernst, contending that she sent jobs overseas by signing an anti-tax pledge, which Politifact also found to be false.

Steyer gave no more credence to the political truth surrounding the environment than he did to the polit-ical truth surrounding an attack-ad stereotype. During election time, political ads consistently lie or exaggerate the truth to appeal to voters’ raw emotions. Voters who see the ad attacking Ernst and think, “But I don’t want jobs going overseas,” are the same who see the ad attack-ing Scott and think, “But that means he has a conflict of interest.” If these ads were true, that wouldn’t be so bad.

But unfortunately, these ads showcase poor attempts to lie about the state of political discourse on the envi-ronment. Politicians are trying to use climate change as a wedge issue that will move voters to the polls come No-vember. That they have to lie to even attempt to do so is clear evidence that the environment is the least of Amer-ican voters’ worries this year.

—Tyler Stercula

With a myriad of domestic and foreign policy topics for voters to weigh in on this November, will climate change even make the list? The Daily Iowan staff debates.

You must not have been paying attention to the first few days — the pictures they used changed after a public outcry of the OPPOSITE bias. They originally used photos that painted him in a negative light. This is a completely fabricated argument. Media out-lets often use pictures of black male victims portraying them as

(every white person’s favorite word) a “thug.”

Chris has stripped down this argument to reveal the fundamen-tal problem with the mainstream media. In no way is Chris, or I for that matter, pretending to know about the racial injustices in Missouri or the events that occurred that day in Ferguson. However, as Chris pointed out, it was the coverage of this tragedy that was both irresponsi-ble and violence-inciting. With the inundation of news agencies comes a

battle for who can air the most controversial and groundbreaking coverage of the day. It has gotten to the point where news stories should come with the disclaimer “Based on a True Story.” If there was little to no bias in the mainstream media, then the story of a black officer in Utah shooting and killing an unarmed white teenager would have been covered with an equal amount of journalistic zeal. The problem is there is no clear protagonist or antagonist in the Utah story. There was no way to tie in the past history

of oppressive white rule that has left a black mark on this country, nor was there any battle of the sexes or parti-san political jockeying. Sadly, both cops in these cases may have well been justified in protect-ing not only the public but themselves. The lesson for all of us on the day that we should “Never Forget” should be to Never Forget that not everything we see on the news, read on the Internet, or read in the paper is a factual and speculation-free account of events.

Vote for our futureWhat’s more rewarding than a breath of fresh

air? Not a lot. Regardless, I don’t want to be forced to find out. This election cycle is focusing heavily on the economics of the nation and our foreign policy instead of our ecosystem. From the Danube to the Swedish mountains, Europe has proven renewable energy can be, and is, economically viable. So why hasn’t it caught on here? Politics.

Gritty, polarized, uncompromising politics. The kind of politics that sticks people to ideology in-stead of evaluating new situations with a clear eye. It’s unfortunate that the environment has become something of a political chess piece, championed by the Democrats and denied by the Republicans. This land is your land, my land, and desperately needs the attention it deserves.

A new boom of American oil has paid dividends to the job market and shareholders alike, but at what cost? Groundwater pollution, dangerous air pollut-ants, disrupted and destroyed ecosystems. As a na-tion, we are phenomenal at putting off today what we can do tomorrow. That’s a problem. We’ve waited long enough. Today is the day to make a change.

More importantly than today is election day. One can only do so much, and the institutions by which we are governed are the only vehicle capable of stopping the ravaging of Mother Nature by a so-ciety determined to squeeze every penny from her before she becomes a useless husk.

Show up on Election Day informed on the candi-dates. Look closely at their track records with the environment, and look for signs that they mean business when it comes to preserving what we have left. I want my children to live in a country in which the rising water levels brought about by climate change don’t threaten their cities, in which their air is pure and water clean, in which their transporta-tion and energy is reliant not on the destruction of their surroundings but on the innovation and tech-nical prowess of their fellow citizens.

The future is sustainability. To stay competi-tive in the global economy, we need to protect our homes, our health, and our future. We can’t protect our land alone. The environment should be on your mind when you are in the voting booth, and the de-cision is yours to bring the United States into the 21st century or to continue the degradation of our resources.

POINT/COUNTERPOINT

Is climate change an election issue?

Clinton. Rodham Clinton’s appearance at the fry was her first visit to Iowa since her third-place finish at the 2008 Iowa caucuses.

Both Clintons praised Harkin for his 40-year-long career in Congress and his some of his most notable accomplish-ments such as working to pass the American Disabilities Act.

“I’m here more than anything else because the shining life of Tom Harkin … proves that politics can be a noble profession,” Bill Clin-ton said.

The fundraiser also featured speeches from several of the candidates on this year’s Democratic ticket stumping for their own campaigns, includ-ing Rep. Bruce Braley, Rep. Dave Loebsack, and gubernatorial candidate Jack Hatch.

Much emphasis was placed on encouraging those in attendance to vote and volunteer for campaigns.

“At the end of the day, elections are about the kind of future you want for yourself and you want for Iowa,” Braley said.

Common themes touched on by speak-ers included the need to raise the minimum wage, protecting safe-

ty-net programs such as Medicare and Medicaid, and supporting the mid-dle class.

“It’s not about middle class. It’s about fair-ness and it’s about what America stands for,” said Pat Murphy, the Democratic candidate in Iowa’s 1st Congres-sional District.

Amid the masses of voters at the fry, many said they were there to honor Harkin.

“Tom Harkin is my su-per hero,” Lauren Lange of Adel said.

Krys Lange, Lau-ra Lange’s mother, ex-plained that while her daughter was teaching English in Mexico, she became seriously ill and

Harkin intervened and made sure she got back to Iowa.

“Tom Harkin saved her life,” she said.

Others also looked for-ward to seeing Rodham Clinton. Leading up to Sunday speculation swirled that the she was kicking off her presiden-tial aspirations. Some in the crowd admitted their hopes of a candidacy an-nouncement.

Jan Burleson, a former Fort Dodge city council-or, said she has attend-ed the Steak Fry for the past 15 years.

Burleson, who was the first woman and first person of color elected to the Fort Dodge coun-cil, she said she hopes

to see Rodham Clinton become the first female president.

“There have always been white men in that

position, and there’s nev-er been a person of col-or in that position until Obama, and it’s time for a woman,” she said.

growing her personal and professional careers.

Even Harkin himself, who has held the events for many years, confessed to the sea of supporters that the real action was for Rodham Clinton.

They’ve dined together inside the comfort of their homes and stood by each other through decades of campaign stumping over thousands of miles across the United States.

“Over these years, both Bill and Hillary have be-come part of our Iowa Dem-ocratic family,” an emotion-al Harkin told the crowd, before announcing them as the “comeback couple.”

Just a few hours before addressing the sea of sup-porters that waved “Ready for Hillary” fans, showed off stickers and clad them-selves in light blue “Hil-lary” T-shirts, Rodham Clinton partook in the cer-emonious flip of a Hy-Vee steak to a closely packed group of the press.

Facing the journalists, who at times appeared

hungry for her to an-nounce her presidential campaign right then and then, she said: “These look really good. I think they’re well-done.”

With just 49 days until the November elections, Hillary’s return along-side her husband, former President Bill Clinton has sparked flames in American politics, from strategists analyzing her near-every move and stri-dent supporters advocat-ing to make the jaunt back into the limelight.

West Des Moines res-ident Pattie Klein, 55,

and Virginia Garrett, 58, of South English are two such advocates.

Klein, who supported Rodham Clinton in 2008, said the former secretary of State, New York sena-tor, and first lady has her vote should she climb the presidential ladder.

“The impossible is to try to make peace between the two parties,” Klein said, when asked what the steepest challenge Rodham Clinton would face in the presidential arena. “It’s party in-fighting that’s hurting this country.”

Rodham Clinton is one

two national political fig-ures who lead the pack among potential 2016 candidates, a new poll re-leased last week conduct-ed by CNN/ORC Interna-tional shows.

Of the 309 registered Iowa Democrats contact-ed, 53 percent of the 1,013 adults responded that they would support Rodham Clinton for president should Iowa have held its caucuses on Sept. 12.

She led the next viable candidate — Vice Presi-dent Joe Biden — by al-most 40 percentage points.

In an interview with

The Daily Iowan following the fry, she said “the peo-ple” of Iowa keep her com-ing back.

Six years ago, it was the people of Iowa who thwarted her presiden-tial run, when caucus at-tendees backed then-Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois.

Rodham Clinton declined to comment on when she plans to return to Iowa’s tried-and-true soil that holds the title of the first-in-the-nation caucus state.

“Too many people get excited about presidential campaigns,” she said to the crowd. “Look, I get excited.”

percent are contracted from out-of-state.

Although the 14 per-cent is an increase, Leh-nertz said it does not mean out-of-state con-tractors are hiring out-of-state workers to do the projects.

Instead, to keep costs down, contractors al-most always hire local labor — otherwise, they could not hope to bid competitively.

Traditionally distance and mobilization — get-ting the crew, materials, and leadership to the site — is what limits the out-of-state contractors’ ability to bid.

However, the large scale of some flood-re-covery projects such as Hancher and the new music building are acting to offset these prohibitive costs and bring in bidders from farther away.

To combat this, Leh-nertz said, instead of listing the larger proj-ects as a single contract, the school breaks it up into smaller packages worth much less — such as windows, concrete, and insulation.

This reduces the lure to out-of-state contrac-tors because it is no longer worth it for them to travel to install win-dows, and allows small-er, instate contractors the ability to bid without feeling overwhelmed.

However, this tactic has not alleviated all the negatives that come with increased out-of-state contractors.

Nicholas Grunzweig, chief estimator and proj-ect manager for Selzer Werderitsch, said that while his company did three flood-restoration projects for the universi-ty, he has found bidding has gotten more difficult as more out-of-state con-tractors have noticed all the activity in Iowa City.

“A big part of our busi-ness through all the years has been at the uni-versity and the universi-ty hospitals,” he said. “It’s probably the biggest part of our business.”

Randy Clarahan, con-struction executive at Mortenson Construction,

said while local contrac-tors are taking advan-tage of this unprecedent-ed construction boom, they are also being very cautious, not wanting to hire more people to try to capture as much work as they can, only to have to lay people off.

Clarahan said with lo-cal contractors being giv-

en a surplus of work and the leisure to choose the right projects for their company, this opens up the market to farther away businesses to bid.

However, Lehnertz stresses, there are still benefits that come with out-of-state labor.

“When the out-of-state presence comes into our

community, they’re stay-ing here either tempo-rarily or long term,” he said. “They’re either re-locating here or they’re staying here and spend-ing money on food and services and lodging, so the local economy ben-efits even when out-of-state contractors are present.”

One year after starting the Iowa City Downtown District gift-card pro-gram, downtown officials saythey have seen an in-crease in participation.

Betsy Potter, the Down-town District operations director, said the gift-card program has grown.

“Businesses started to promote it, and that caught the interests of other busi-nesses,” Potter said. “That made them want to jump on board as well.”

Downtown District Di-rector Nancy Bird said people have purchased $35,000 worth of gift cards.

Sales are continuing to climb, she said, but when it first started in 2013, the program had a slow start.

“It just took time for people to find out about the deal,” Bird said. “We’ve moved from 40 to 50 to 60 businesses, and now we’re

over 100 businesses that accept gift cards.”

Potter said the plan was designed around having a gift-card program for use in downtown businesses.

“The reason we started is because there used to be a community gift card that could be used in the sur-rounding area, but when that went away, we start-ed to look for something to take its place,” Potter said.

Bird said she thinks part of the increase came from conferences that are held in Iowa City.

“If we have a conference and people are staying at a hotel, they can buy a gift card to see and experience the downtown Iowa City area,” she said.

Potter said the gift cards are also being purchased for families who come to visit their children or rel-atives in Iowa City.

“There have been a lot of cards bought from out-of-state,” she said. “People

buy them and give them to their families for when they come to visit. It’s a good gift for out-of-state people who don’t know the downtown Iowa City area.”

Bird said Active En-deavors, 138 S. Clinton St., has been with the pro-gram since the beginning.

Active Endeavors man-ager Dave Nerad said having the cards has been beneficial for business.

“We see them a lot, and it’s been great,” he said. “It gets people [into] the downtown area more. It’s another avenue to get people in the store and to buy our product.”

Drew McLaughlin, the manager of the Bread Garden Market, 225 S. Linn St., said he thinks the cards are helpful for the district as well.

“It makes people want to shop local more,” he said. “It keeps things local and promotes the down-town area.”

Crisis Center event aims to prevent suicide

The one-year anniversary of the downtown Iowa City gift-card program showed an increase in participation.

The annual suicide prevention walk entered its fifth year.

By CHRIS HIGGINSchristopher-higgins@uiowa.edu

Several hundred peo-ple gathered at Terry Trueblood Recreation Area on Sunday for the fifth-consecutive Out of the Darkness 5K.

The Johnson Coun-ty Crisis Center led the fifth-annual walk to raise suicide awareness as well as money for pre-vention. The walk falls under the banner of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.

“We had record turn-out tonight and a re-cord amount of money raised,” said Keri Ne-blett, the community intervention director for the Crisis Center. “I think that the momen-tum is building, and that more and more people are finding out about the event and are really ral-lying behind it.”

Neblett said 220 peo-ple registered for the event and estimated that more than 300 participated. Prior to the event, $11,000 was raised online.

“We usually bring quite a bit of money the day of the event,” Ne-blett said. “Our goal is $15,000, and I’m sure we’re going to make that and exceed it.”

By the time of publi-cation, the total amount raised during the walk had yet to be determined.

The number of sui-cides in Iowa has risen over the past five years, according to the Ameri-can Foundation for Sui-cide Prevention. In 2010, 356 cases were reported, and 445 were reported in 2013. The rate has risen from 11.7 to 14.4 cases per 100,000 people.

According to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention statistics, two people commit suicide in the

United States every 27 minutes, which adds up to more than 39,500 peo-ple a year. One person dies of suicide every 40 seconds worldwide.

The first Out-of-Dark-ness 5K walk in the na-tion occurred in August 2010, and more than 250 communities will host one this year.

Kirkwood Community College student Haley Lynch became involved in the walk after her fi-ancé committed suicide in 2011.

“Suicide itself, when you experience it, it’s very isolating and lonely, and I think it’s import-ant to better to deal with the grief and start the journey of healing and to not feel alone,” Lynch said. “Coming together, you see how much of an epidemic it really is.”

Lynch said she thinks suicide is a uniquely stigmatized issue in American society.

“If someone were to die by cancer, we would be able to openly dis-cuss that,” she said. “I want to be able to do the same with suicide. The epidemic is real, and I just want to be able to normalize that. I want people to feel like there is support for them.”

Beau Pinkham, the crisis intervention pro-gram coordinator at the Crisis Center, said the walk helps keep the sui-cide issue in the air.

“Personally, I just hope that it raises awareness, which is kind of a rote answer but very true,” he said. “We need to keep this in the public eye.”

He noted comedian Robin Williams’ Au-gust suicide, saying “people talked about it for two weeks, and it’s already kind of sliding away again.”

Pinkham said he wants to see locals constantly

recognizing the issue.“…Suicide is a societal

issue and a community issue and we’re not go-ing to be able to do any-thing about it if we don’t address it as a communi-ty,” he said.

THE DAILY IOWAN DAILYIOWAN.COM MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 2014 SPORTS 7

Take away the North-ern Iowa game, and the Hawkeyes have managed just two plays of 20-plus yards.

“That’s a tough ques-tion to answer right now,” quarterback Jake Rudock said when asked about the offensive funk. “We want to play really well, obviously. We want to move the ball … we want to score every time we get the ball.”

Big-play threats — such as Derrick Willies, Damond Powell, Tevaun Smith, Kev-onte Martin-Manley, and

Jordan Canzeri — have all proven they are capable of gaining big chunks of yard-age on single plays.

But the issue isn’t a lack of playmakers. Rather, the problem is the lack of plays for those players.

Against Iowa State on Sept. 13, Willies and Pow-ell — two of Iowa’s biggest playmakers — weren’t targeted all game. Canzeri carried the ball only three times, although that may be more because of a sore hip on his end.

One reason is that Iowa has not been a school syn-onymous with big plays during Kirk Ferentz’s ten-ure. Last year, the team ranked 102nd in the nation

in plays of 20-plus yards — they had 45, to be exact. The year before that, they ranked 118th.

The Hawkeyes also have a quarterback in Rudock who tends to throw to short-er routes and a running back corps that relies heavi-ly on consistency and power rather than explosive plays.

Weisman didn’t seem too worried about if the big plays would ever occur; he spoke specifically about running backs. He also pro-vided a possible solution to the problem, albeit one that’s easier said than done.

“Everyone needs to fin-ish plays,” he said. “Wheth-er it’s me breaking a tack-le, whether it’s a receiver

blocking downfield, or a receiver making a big play, it’s all in the finishing. We need to finish better and find a way.”

In any case, if Iowa hopes to bounce back from its first loss of the season, it wouldn’t hurt for the team to start implement-ing more explosive plays into the planning.

“Just keep working,” wide receiver Jacob Hillyer said. “It’s a long season, and we’re not playing our best football yet. But big plays will come when we need them.”

from the whole thing by parading through the press box shortly after the game officially ended.

Well. This is their Super Bowl, I said quietly as they ran by.

Someone in the press box heard me. He was wearing an Iowa State polo. “That’s such an overused term,” he said, noticeably annoyed.

Maybe it is, but that doesn’t mean it’s wrong.

First came the press-box celebration, the running and screaming and cheer-ing and hollering you would only expect from coaches

after their team wins a con-ference championship.

Then came the postgame press conference, where, in his opening statement, Io-wa State head coach Paul Rhoads said he was “proud to be 1-2.”

“I’m proud of my kids,” he said. “I’m proud of their perseverance to get this season started in Week 3.”

What those both say about the Cyclones is some-thing we already knew be-fore this year’s Iowa-Iowa State football game: That most all the Cyclones care about, each year, is their game with the Hawkeyes. Win that, and the season is a success.

The examples go further than the press-box revelry

and the postgame remarks. Early in August, during the college football preseason, a reporter from the Des Moines Register tweeted a picture of an Iowa State tackling dummy. It was wearing a black Iowa jersey.

It translates on the field, too. Before 2014, Iowa State had lost to Iowa seven times since 2002, and during just two of those seasons did the Cyclones reach bowl eligibil-ity (2009 and 2004).

Conversely, Iowa has lost to Iowa State five times in that same span — and reached bowl eligibility all but one year (2012). That includes 2002, when the Hawkeyes lost to Iowa State but still finished 11-2.

Iowa’s football seasons

aren’t ever dependent on the game with the Cy-clones. The Hawkeyes can still have a nice year, can still do big things during conference play, and can still play in a postseason game in January (some-thing Iowa State has never done, by the way).

The hometown team still has nine more games on the schedule to focus on, while that other team, the one that’s 137 miles away, left Iowa City celebrating as if they won the Super Bowl — because, in their minds, they did.

Pickert] or [Anne Marie Thomas], one of the girls that can jump and head it in,” Burns said. “I thought it was going out because I saw the wind take it, and then I saw it hit the post and get in.

“I got super excited from that.”

The reaction by her team was comedic as disbelief turned to joy as it took them all a second to comprehend what had just transpired to be a very strange goal.

Even if the wind had not picked up at that ex-act moment, Burns would have still made a good play because her ball was placed well.

“I think if not in the back of the post, it was going to

go to Mel, who was sitting right beside the post and had just barely missed on earlier in the first half,” head coach Dave DiIan-ni said. “It was just a good bend of a ball with a little bit of a breeze.

“It was just catching a lit-tle bit of a break on a day that you don’t necessarily play your best.”

The Hawkeyes did not exactly get outplayed, but there is still a bit of growing — especially on offense — for the team to do before the more diffi-cult part of the schedule comes along.

Leading scorer Cloe Lac-asse was held without a

goal for the second-straight game, a slightly troubling stat for Hawkeye fans but not necessarily a cause for panic quite yet. Teams are doubling and tripling her, which is opening up things for other players — but that might become frustrating to her, because she will see it week in and week out.

Iowa’s defense again looked solid, only allowing 10 shots in the game. Se-nior Caitlin Brown and the rest of the defenders were tough, shutting out a Big Ten opponent for the sec-ond-straight game.

At the end of the day, ugly or not, a victory is just that — a victory.

The Hawkeyes are 7-1 and in first place in the Big Ten. How long that lasts is anyone’s guess, but a strong start to the DiIan-ni era may just be what Io-wa needs to reach the next level of play.

“There’s definitely things we didn’t get done that we wanted to, tactical things we talked about and weren’t executed as well as we wanted,” Brown said. “But, at the end of the day we got the win — it wasn’t pretty but that’s 3 points.”

PRIME PLAYS IOWA GAME BALLQUINTON ALSTON

IOWA STATE GAME BALLSAM B. RICHARDSON

Iowa placekicker Marshall Koehn, after being heavily criticized for missing two field goals last week against Ball State, drilled his only field-goal attempt on Sept. 13. It was from 44 yards out, which should give head coach Kirk Ferentz a bit of confidence in his kicking game.

Iowa State’s DeVondrick Nealy caught a beautifully thrown 27-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Sam Richardson in the middle of the fourth quarter. The score put the Cyclones up 17-14, and they never trailed again.

The senior middle linebacker led the team with 10 tackles. Alston also forced Iowa State’s Nealy to fumble the ball at the goal line at the end of the first half, allowing Iowa to enter halftime with a 14-3 lead.

Richardson played masterfully, completing 25-of-37 passes for 255 yards and 2 touchdowns. He also engineered an 11-play, 51-yard drive at the end of the game to set up Cole Netten’s game-winning 42-yard field goal.

‘We have to get better as a team. We’ll look at everybody. Everybody is competing every day. We just have to play better as a team and we have to coach better, and that starts right here.’— IOWA HEAD COACH KIRK FERENTZ

‘First and foremost, it was won between the ears. … They believed that they could win the game and they went out and physically followed up with that.’

THUMBS DOWN

Run Defense: While the Hawkeye’s front seven didn’t get any sort of pressure on Iowa State’s quarterback, the unit did limit all Cyclone rushers to just 82 yards on 26 carries. Iowa remains just one of eight programs in the country to have not allowed a rushing touchdown this season.

The Hawkeyes hit the road for the first time this season. They’ll head to Heinz Field to play Pittsburgh, which is 3-0 on the year. The Hawkeyes are 2-3 all-time against the Panthers, though Iowa did win the last game between the schools, 31-27, in 2011.

Big Play Offense: Iowa had just one play from scrimmage that went for more than 20 yards — a 33-yard catch and run from tight end Ray Hamilton. Even more, Derrick Willies and Damond Powell, two of Iowa’s big-play guys, weren’t even targeted against Iowa State.

Daily Break

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Discussions will count, but be careful not to divulge personal information, especially when dealing with peers and colleagues. Focus on downtime and planning trips and activities with someone you love. Use your energy wisely and your mind intelligently.TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Stop dwelling on imperfections and dissat-isfaction. A positive mindset is required to be successful. Too much of anything will be frowned upon, so keep your life simple, moderate and balanced. Personal improvements will bring you the highest returns.GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Emotions will surface, making it difficult for you to contain the way you feel or what you want. Tread carefully — someone may take advantage of your vulnerability. Don’t believe everything you hear. Ask for proof or get what’s being offered in writing.CANCER (June 21-July 22): Putter around home or visit friends. The less time you have to think about your troubles, the better. You are better off following a path that leads to unusual activities or encounters. Don’t aggravate a situation that’s festering. Time heals all wounds.LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Take charge; be a hero. A quick response and helpful attitude will be impressive. Put your skills to good use, and keep your eyes open for a chance to advance. Your selfless gestures will be your ticket into an extraordinary opportunity.VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Money matters will take an unpredictable turn. Check your bank balance before you make a questionable pur-chase. Unexpected personal changes are heading your way. Keep your emotions in check, and stay levelheaded in order to avoid arguments.LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Stop procrastinating, and start moving. Take action, and show your ability to wheel, deal, and handle whatever comes your way with finesse and an entrepreneurial attitude. A change in the way people treat you is about to take place.SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You can make smart financial gains if you invest in upgrading your assets. Don’t let anyone confuse you. Once you’ve made up your mind, stick to it until you finish what you started. Resourcefulness is your ticket to freedom.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Ignore emotional changes that some-one close to you is experiencing. Consider any alteration an adventure. The more receptive you are, the better off you will be. Don’t let love turn into a burden when it should complement you and your lifestyle. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Avoid altering anything in your life for the time being. You will have difficulty making the right decision and confusion will set in. Consider long-term effects instead of what’s un-folding in the moment. Look at the big picture. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): An open heart and mind will help you retrieve the information you require to make an important decision. Your financial prospects look good, and increasing your income through an unexpected source is likely. Move forward with optimism and enthusiasm.PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You’ll experience trouble getting along with others. Arguments will erupt, and false information will lead you astray. Pull in the reins, and refrain from getting into a deep discussion about something you know little about.

By RYAN RODRIGUEZryan-rodriguez@uiowa.edu

The Iowa field-hockey team rounded out the final leg of its California road trip in Stockton with a 5-1 win over the Pacific Tigers.

The win moves the Hawks, who took two of three on the West Coast, to 4-2 on the season.

The Black and Gold struck first with an ear-ly goal from forward Dani Hemeon.

But despite the early ad-vantage for the Hawks, the Tigers controlled much of the play in the first period, forcing Iowa to defend a trio of penalty corners in the first 20 minutes of play.

While the rest of the first period played out in a simi-lar fashion, Iowa was able to capitalize when it mattered,

adding goals from Natalie Cafone and a second from Hemeon to go up 3-0 after 35 minutes.

The Hawks were hun-gry for redemption after a heartbreaking 2-1 overtime loss on Sept. 12 to No. 8 Stanford, and they took ad-vantage of the situation on Sunday.

“We are disappointed with the result as we played a very hard-fought match,” interim head coach Lisa Cellucci said in a release after the Stanford loss. “We executed the game plan that we had in place and put ourselves in a position to win the game as we went up 1-0 with 14 minutes left.”

In the Pacific game the Black and Gold took control in the second half, steering 15 shots toward the Pacific net, including 11 on goal.

A second goal from Cafone and an insurance goal from Stephanie Norlander boost-ed the Hawks to a 5-1 lead and put the game out of reach for Pacific.

Goaltender Alex Pecora was stellar, tuning away 4 of 5 shots on goal, and she faced more than a half-dozen corner shots. A second-period goal by Pa-cific ’s Nicole Laskosky was Pecora’s only blemish on the afternoon.

Pecora has started every game for Iowa so far this season.

The Hawkeyes will re-turn to action on Sept. 21, opening Big Ten play on the road against Rutgers.

Leading into the South Dakota State University Challenge, Hawkeye volley-ball coach Bond Shymansky said his team had played well early in the season but the Hawks hadn’t quite hit their stride yet. After emerging as tournament champions of the busiest weekend of the young cam-paign, they have to be get-ting close.

With four games in two days, the Hawkeyes seemed to get on track early on Sept. 12 and ride the suc-cess to a title the following day. In the four matches, Io-wa dropped only one set.

Action began against Eastern Illinois, which also entered the weekend at 4-2, and the Panthers came out of the gate rather quickly. They had Iowa down 5-0, and then 11-4. After Iowa captured its first lead at 19-18, the Hawkeyes tied again at 22.

Finishing the comeback, Iowa won the set 25-23. Freshman Jess Janota had 7 kills in the set alone.

Set two was another back-and-forth affair, once tied at 20. Shymansky kept the Hawkeyes focused, how-ever, and they were able to win the set 25-23. Set three secured the sweep in

convincing fashion, as the Hawkeyes won 25-15.

A closely contested win to begin the tournament likely gave Iowa confidence moving forward. After a tough loss to Arizona State last weekend, the team tried to work in practice on staying focused to details and being mentally tuned in all match long.

The second match on Sept. 12 was against North Dakota. The Bison had won five of their last six matches, but it was Iowa’s turn to be the hot team this weekend.

Shymansky seems to have settled in to a start-ing lineup of Alessandra Dietz, Alex Lovell, Mikaela Gunderson, Alyssa Kloster-mann, Lauren Brobst, Mi-chelle Fugarino, and Jano-ta. They captured the first set, 25-21, and the second by the same score.

North Dakota offered resistance in the third set, and the Hawkeyes again responded by securing a set that was even most of the way, 25-23, for the second sweep of the day.

The first match the fol-lowing day was more of the same. Florida International battled, and the first set was tied at 24. The Hawkeyes won 26-25.

The Black and Gold dropped their only set of the weekend in the second

set, but led by Klostermann in the third set, respond-ed with a 25-18 victory to maintain a 2-1 advantage.

Set four was another challenge, but the bat-tle-tested Hawkeyes were in the zone. Once down 21-15, they came roaring back for a 25-23 victory.

The last course of the Hawkeyes feast was the hosting Jackrabbits of South Dakota State.

Dietz had 8 kills to pow-er the team to a 25-17 win the first set. After a 25-22 win in the second set and a 25-19 victory in the third, Dietz finished with a sea-son-high 15 kills, and Iowa was the champions of the tournament.

Dietz was named to the All-Tournament team for the second-straight week, along with junior transfer Gunderson.

Shymansky said he wants his team to be play-ing its best when it travels to Ames in the final match before Big Ten play, and af-ter an undefeated weekend, he’s got to be pleased with the direction of his team. The Hawkeyes will travel to Ames on Friday.

Men’s golf in second after first day

The Iowa Hawkeyes are in second place at the Golfweek Conference Chal-lenge after the first of three rounds. Iowa shot 2-under 286 as a team at Spirit Hollow Golf Course in Burlington, just ahead of third place Southern Methodist (minus-1) but well behind LSU (minus-10).

All five Hawkeyes are in the top half of the leaderboard, within 4 strokes of each other. Junior Nate Yankovich posted a career-best at 2-under 70 to stand alone in fourth place. One stroke behind him is sophomore Carson Schaake, who is tied for sixth. Senior Ian Vandersee held serve with an even-par performance, slotting him in a tie for 12th. Senior Brian Bullington is at 1 over and tied for 17th, and sophomore Raymond Knoll is 24th at 2 over.

The second round will start at 9 a.m. today.

Early in the 30th minute, Iowa was awarded its second corner kick of the game, and sophomore Corey Burns ran to the left side of the field to put the ball in play.

It was a golden opportunity for the Hawks to score if Burns could posi-tion the ball for someone to convert.

What happened next was incredible.As her foot hit the ball and lazily

began its journey toward the goal, the wind picked up ever so slightly and pushed it inside.

So much inside, in fact, that the ball went in the goal without touch-ing anyone or anything else.

Just like that, Iowa found them-selves up 1-0.

After an excellent comeback victory by the Cyclones, their coaches paraded through the press box, proving it’s the only game that matters to them.

COMMENTARY

By JACOB SHEYKOjacob-sheyko@uiowa.edu

The Iowa football team has is-sues, and after the season’s first three games, those issues have come to the forefront.

The linebackers struggle to cover running backs out of the backfield, the kicking game is inconsistent, and a run-ning-back corps once lauded for its depth can’t seem to find its footing.

An issue that hasn’t re-ceived as much attention is the Hawkeyes inability to strike big on one play. In this regard, Io-wa is not just one of the worst teams in the Big Ten, it is one of the worst in the country.

“We need to keep finishing

runs, finishing plays,” running back Mark Weisman said fol-lowing Iowa’s 20-17 loss to Io-wa State. “We need to break a big one once in a while. We hav-en’t done that yet, and it needs to happen.”

After three games — two wins and one loss — Iowa has execut-ed just five plays of 20 yards or more, which ranks 123rd in the nation out of 127 teams.

Only three teams in the na-tion have fewer plays of 20 yards or more than Iowa. There are also 47 individual players in the NCAA with the same num-ber or more plays of 20-plus yards than the entire Hawkeye football team.

Iowa State’s game-winning drive on Sept. 13 began on its own 25-yard line. There was a little more than four minutes left in regulation, and there was this feeling that something — maybe good, maybe bad — was about to happen.

What followed was a well-ex-ecuted, 11-play, 51-yard, Kinn-

ick-silencing drive that ended with the 44-yard dagger from Iowa State placekicker Cole Net-ten. It was the exclamation point on an excellent second half by the Cyclones, who — and you won’t like reading this — definitely de-served to win that game.

If this season turns into a successful one for that team 137 miles west of here, that 20-17 victory will likely be the first shown on highlight reels, a comeback win over the heavily favored in-state rival, an ending you might normally find in the movies — and then, as if on cue, Iowa State’s coaches took away
