SO LONG, ROYCE ISU forward sets course for NBA, won’t return to play for Cyclones

By Jeremiah.Davis @iowastatedaily.com Three years ago, another ISU forward called a press conference to address his NBA future. In 2009, Craig Brackins gathered media to give ISU fans good news: he was coming back.

But this time around, Cyclone fans sat and watched forward Royce White tell everyone he was headed to the NBA after one year in an ISU uniform.

“Iowa State is a special place and there will always be a special place in my heart for this university and my experiences here,” White said. “All that being said, it’s been decided by the people I trust that becoming a professional is probably what’s best, so I won’t be returning next year to Iowa State.”

While at Iowa State, White revealed himself to the world in a unique way. White’s anxiety disorder put him in headlines across the country, including ESPN. Though some NBA analysts across the country — most notably ESPN’s Doug Gottlieb — warned that his mental illness would deter NBA scouts from taking a chance on a young man with a past, his play and demeanor while at Iowa State did their best to cast those doubts away.

White said the biggest reason he felt comfortable going public with his illness and giving details about it was because the city of Ames and the Iowa State community made him comfortable with doing so.

“The fans, I’ll always love. They uplifted me in so many ways,” White said. “From the support on the court to al-

Chief justice to speak on retention

By Katelynn McCollough Daily staff writer Chief Justice Mark Cady of the Iowa Supreme Court will speak at an open meeting of the Ames League of Women Voters at 7 p.m. Thursday at the Northminster Presbyterian Church in Ames.

The topic of the speech is set as “Choosing and Keeping the Best Possible Judges.” Justice Cady will focus on the process of selecting and retaining judges in the Iowa judicial system, proposed changes to this system and their possible affects.

Cady’s chosen topic on selection and retention of Iowa judges may come from the November 2010 election results which resulted in three Iowa Supreme Court justices not being reappointed.

On Nov. 2, 2010, Iowa voters chose not to reappoint Iowa Supreme Court Chief Justice Marsha Ternus, Justice David Baker and Justice Michael Streit. This came after the Iowa Supreme Court decision in the Varnum v. Brien case found that an Iowa marriage statute, making gay marriage illegal, was unconstitutional.

The justices unanimously agreed that Iowa Code section 595.2 violated the equal protections clause of the Iowa Constitution.

This clause, which is section six of the Iowa Bill of Rights, states, “the general assembly shall not grant to any citizen, or class of citizens, privileges or immunities, which, upon the same terms, shall not equally belong to all citizens.”

Cady, who was the author of the case, said that the court’s responsibility was “to protect constitutional rights of individuals from legislative enactments that have denied those rights, even when the rights have not yet been broadly accepted, were at one time unimagined or challenge a deeply ingrained practice or law viewed to be impervious to the passage of time.”

Drive draws blood, saves lives one pint at a time

By Erin.Toohey @iowastatedaily.com The ISU Blood Drive is hosting their annual blood drive this week.

Iowa State hosts one of the largest studentrun blood drives in the nation, according to ISU Blood Drive’s website, and it’s not just once a year.

“There’s a blood drive twice a year, one each semester,” said Kate McMillan, sophomore in nutritional science.

The whole procedure, from registration to after donation, can last anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour long.

“First you have to register and get a general history done, and then they do a red cell count and check your iron, because you have to have a certain number for that in order to donate,” said Chrissy Jones, sophomore in psychology.

Members of the organization meet potential donors in the Cardinal Room of the Memorial Union, where they will go through the registration and background history.

When registering for the blood drive, potential donors will need to show a form of ID, such as a donor card or driver’s license, according to the American Red Cross website.

Then, donors are asked some questions about their health history, and where they have traveled in recent years.

They will also have their temperature, pulse, blood pressure and hemoglobin level checked prior to donating blood.

After this, if eligible, the donor is escorted to the Great Hall for the donation.

The actual donation takes anywhere between 8 to 10 minutes.

According to the American Red Cross website, currently only three out of every 100 people in America donate blood.

People need blood every minute of every day, according to the Red Cross, and it can only come from those who volunteer to give it.

McMillan, Jones, Annie Block and Megan Rich, all members of the Spring Blood Drive Committee, donated their blood and thought it was really important for others to do the same.

“Every pint saves three lives, and to take an hour out of your day to save three lives is totally worth it,” said Block, a sophomore in pre-diet and exercise.

If saving lives is not enough motivation, there are free cookies after the donation, which the donor is highly encouraged to sit and have for between 10 and 15 minutes before they return to their daily activities.

Another benefit to donating is the mini physical, which can give the donor an update on their pulse, blood pressure, body temperature and hemoglobin levels, which is beneficial to know for health reasons, according to the Red Cross.

“I think people should donate blood because it’s the easiest, least time consuming way to save lives,” said Cory Bryant, junior in kinesiology and health and a co-director of ISU Blood Drive.

Bryant explained that there are three centers for donating blood in the Great Hall. On Monday and Tuesday, there were a total of 656 donors at two of the centers, and more for each day at the third one.

“We usually have about 2,000 units donated, which saves about 6,000 lives,” Bryant said.

The blood drive goes until 5 p.m. Thursday in the Cardinal Room and Great Hall of the Memorial Union.

Alumnae help recruit ISU graduates for AmeriCorps

By Randi.Reeder @iowastatedaily.com With graduation approaching, many Iowa State students may still be looking for the answer to the question, “What are you doing after graduation?”

There are so many different options that it can be hard for a person not knowing what they truly want to do with their life to make the direct transition from college to career.

For Iowa State alumnae Mary Runkel and Ashley Archer, AmeriCorps, a nonprofit organization, is helping them make the transition.

The two ISU alumnae had a booth in the Memorial Union on Wednesday to inform students about opportunities after graduation with AmeriCorps. Archer is a AmeriCorps coalition specialist and Runkel is a mentoring resources facilitator.

According to a brochure at the booth, AmeriCorps is a national service program that engages Americans of all ages and backgrounds in solving community problems.

Runkel described AmeriCorps as a “domestic Peace Corps.” While Peace Corps assignments are overseas and last two years, AmeriCorps members serve in the United States and last about 10 months to one year.

AmeriCorps members can also be part-time or they can also serve more than one term of service.

Although both ISU alumnae ended up at AmeriCorps, each of them had a different story and reason as to how they ended up with the organization.

Archer had been a parttime jailer and dispatcher for

about 8 months in her hometown of Mount Pleasant, Iowa, before returning to Ames to join AmeriCorps.

“It was really hard, you know, once you’re done being a jailer and dispatcher, it’s really hard not to take those 911 calls home with you and think about it constantly,” Archer said when asked about the transition to AmeriCorps. “It’s a different kind of stress.”

While working at the jail, Archer had decided that she wanted to try to help prevent people from getting there.

“I knew you needed to start out young and that’s why I started looking into youth and children services and the programs that [AmeriCorps] had and really just fit with what I had been thinking would interest me and what I wanted to do,” Archer said.

Runkel applied for another job in Ames where one of the references she used told her to apply to Youth and Shelter Services’ Great Relationships in Pairs Mentoring Program to be an AmeriCorps Volunteer in Service to America member.

“The reason I knew the reference is because I was a

mentor with the program she facilitated,” Runkel said.

Runkel said that for a person looking to make America a better place to be, whether that is in their home community or a whole new unfamiliar place, AmeriCorps may be a good program bridge to transition.

Activities include helping children succeed in school, helping those in need after a natural disaster, helping veterans and military families and protecting the environment in your local community or another area in the United States.

“You can help build houses, trials, assist people in senior centers, help with disaster relief, and there’s a green core that a lot of people are interested in,” Runkel said.

There are many different programs and events a person can do within AmeriCorps programs.

Runkel advised that if a person has a heart for service, they should go on to the AmeriCorps website and check out the different opportunities.

“It just takes the time of going online and searching,” Archer said.

Racism has no place in heckling If you’ve been to any ISU basketball game — or any other basketball game, for that matter — you’ve undoubtedly heard some heckling coming from your fellow spectators.

There are the classics: Referees are said to be blind (let’s face it, this one’s usually true), coaches (home or away) are brainless, and the opposing star is actually a bumbling buffoon.

Nearly everything is fair game.

Off-court history, personal appearance and run-ins with the law are all just ammunition for the die-hards.

There’s little that is out of bounds.

Last week, though, members of the Southern Mississippi marching band crossed the line.

During the Golden Eagles’ first NCAA tournament appearance since 1991 (the team is now coached by former ISU coach Larry Eustachy), those members of the band as any other pep band would: supporting the good guys, deriding the bad.

When the band asked Angel Rodriguez of Kansas State “Where’s your green card?” though, they went too far.

Immigration discussion aside — a topic for another day and another editorial, we’re sure and, on top of that, Rodriguez is a native of Puerto Rico, a U.S. commonwealth, meaning he is a U.S. citizen — the ignorance from these students is astounding, as is the racist nature with which the band members acted — particularly while in uniform, as ambassadors for the USM pep band and the university.

Rodriguez said it best following the Wildcats’ win, telling the Associated Press, “There’s ignorant people, and I know that’s not how they want to represent their university.”

In response, five students who took part in the chant had their scholoarships revoked and were removed from the band. The students will also attend cultural sensitivity training.

Comments so insensitive and racially charged should never be tolerated, and the Daily applauds Southern Miss for acting so swiftly.

Joe Paul, USM vice president for Student Affairs, issued a statement following the incident, calling it “a teachable moment, not only for these students, but for our entire student body and those who work with them.”

It’s an incident we can all learn from. Indeed, we have learned the same thing from our own recent mistakes.

We hope to never hear such ignorance from a cardinal and gold-clad band — or a member of Cyclone Alley — or a high-dollar donor — or anyone — and hope the ISU administration is courageous enough to act as the USM administration did if a similar event were to unfortunately occur in Ames or elsewhere.

Next time you heckle, remember that the classics work just fine.

New iPad for Apple fans

Apple’s ‘resolutionary’ screen shows strong focus on important innovations

‘New iPad’ reveals gimmicky scheme to maintain relevance in tech industry

magine looking at a screen with a photo on it that made you question whether you were looking at a screen rather than an actual, physical photo. That’s what the new iPad does, and that is what Apple is known for: pushing the level of innovation.

Pictures and videos can’t give this experience justice due to our screens not having the utmost quality that is among that in the new iPad. Apple is the biggest marketing company out there, and to sell something that can only been seen with your own eyes in person is tough. Yes, they’ve called this “resolutionary,” with it being a combination of resolution and revolutionary. This is no marketing gimmick.

It’s the truth.

Heath commends Apple on this being a Rather than technological focusing on feat, which is whether it’d basically rebe easy to warding them incorporate on inventing a [Siri] into the better display.

All the mariPad, focus on keting does the replaced is make the and similar display and the feature of voice new iPad a true dictation” innovation.

Derek Jensen I suppose another feature of the iPad is the improved camera. I do believe that it looks weird to see people holding these large devices out in front of them or up in the air to take a photo or video. But what Heath said regarding the specs is what makes this a quality device no matter if you find the features useful to your practice. Why? These features don’t inhibit your experience of the device as a whole with the same battery performance.

Next up comes what my counter columnist calls a negligence by not including the Siri, personal assistant, technology in the new iPad as it was released in their prior device launch. Siri in itself is an invention. It is taking what we say, translating it and completing a task that seems intelligent to us. The innovation lies in how good it works. The reasoning to not include it in the iPad is telling that the Siri invention is not ready for the iPad. Rather than focusing on whether it’d be easy to incorporate this feature into the iPad, focus on the replaced and similar feature of voice dictation. If you understand the technology behind Siri, you would understand that, in order for the service to improve, there needs to be more voice dictation occurring. The reason to not offer the full Siri experience is merely an innovation on this new iPad device. It’s just one small, but big step.

And then you have the capability of the 4G LTE technology that is being touted as the next big thing in connectivity amongst the world. While it is great for those that have the ability to use it, sadly we in the Midwest aren’t able to experience it. Again, this is no issue with the new iPad. If anything, the demand for this technology will only grow due to the usage among current 4G customers with the new iPad. To wrap up, we look at Apple as whole in terms of innovation in reference to the actual event of iPad announcement. The first question that comes up is, where was the “one more thing”? If you’re familiar with Apple events, they’ve randomly added this at the end of an event to spur the excitement of something we only had speculations on. This act belonged to Steve Jobs and might return when Tim Cook and the company is ready.

The argument that not having this act as well as being the leader in the tech industry means Apple lacks innovation is bogus. All of this means is that times are changing for Apple where they can finally focus on what is important and make the appropriate steps to continue their immense presence.

It’s not lack of innovation. It’s merely building something that is great and useful to the world.

Apple builds toys. Toys are built to instill great experiences with the mechanics of what makes them work hidden in the features of the toy. The experience is what matters, and if you’re satisfied, then Apple continues to innovate. This new iPad is just another example of that.

ust before break, Apple announced the “New iPad.” Instead of calling it the iPad 3, they referred to it as the “New iPad,” making it more similar to their iPod nomenclature.

First off, hats off to Apple for porting their crazy awesome “Retina Display” as seen on the iPhone 4(S) to the New iPad. That’s actually an impressive technological feat that Derek and I both are in agreement of. My biggest problem with it is that they can’t just do something great and let it stand. They had to come up with a clever little marketing term. They’ve called the New iPad “resolutionary,” similar to how the iPad 2 was “magical.”

Don’t insult my intelligence. I’m buying a technological device, not a toy. It’s not a I think the mythical mabiggest point chine created here is the fact using unicorn that Apple has dust or dragon’s such a ‘lead’ breath. It’s ... they don’t made of aluminium, and even have underneath it’s to innovate anymore, rather packed with microchips and incremental batteries. Apple upgrades.” has created a Heath Verhasselt great device.

Let’s respect it rather than subject it to marketing gimmicks.

The new iPad features a nice iSight camera.

Five megapixels in fact, with 1080p video recording. Derek and I are in agreement here, that’s a pretty good camera, IF we were talking about a phone, but this is an iPad and that’s where I disagree. I dare you to come up with a situation when you’d pull out your iPad before you pull out your iPhone (which actually has a slightly better camera) to take a photo. On the iPad I feel like a better front facing camera would actually make more sense as the only valid reason to use a camera on an iPad would be for Facetime. My point here: I saw a picture on Imgur the other day that showed some guy holding up an iPad to take a picture at a concert. Please don’t be that guy.

Another issue or problem that the New iPad brings to the table is the lack of Siri. Where is she? One of the largest selling points for the iPhone 4S was the ability to befriend your know-it-all smartphone.

They included dictation for typing but didn’t include Siri. And this is where Derek and I disagree the most, as I think the iPad is ready for Siri now.

You’d think that would be as easy as adding the Siri code into the iPad, but maybe it’s more complicated than that. More likely, it’ll be the major selling point of next year’s iPad, and we’ll all rejoice that Tim Cook had the wisdom and foresight to bring Siri to the iPad. The New iPad is the first Apple device to feature 4G LTE technology. First, a problem for our area, neither AT&T or Verizon have a 4G tower in Ames. And even if they did, they’d charge you a ridiculous amount of money. AT&T is posting 3GB and 5GB plans for $30 and $50 a month respectively. There’s a 50mb plan for $15, but that is a joke of a plan in my opinion. Verizon has plans for 1GB, 2GB, and 5GB for $20, $30, and $50 respectively. AT&T’s 3GB package is a slightly better deal than Verizon’s, but either way you go, good luck with those overage fees.

Where was the “one more thing”? As typical with an Apple keynote, there’s usually a little something extra that they show us at the end. There wasn’t one at the iPad announcement; in fact, there hasn’t been one in awhile. Where are the new innovative or revolutionary devices they “think we’re going to love.” There’s several factors at work, but I think the biggest point here is the fact that Apple has such a “lead” on the rest of the manufacturers in terms of mind share and sales, they don’t even have to innovate anymore, rather incremental upgrades once a year to force obsolescence and maintain their relevancy.

Tim Cook recently told us that their pipeline is “full of stuff,” which could mean anything in terms of innovation or incremental speed bumps to their existing products. I hope for the former, and I’m sure Derek would agree, but I personally believe the latter will come to fruition. Only time will tell.

Bay takes on the ‘Turtles’ Director could ruin a classic by changing its mythology

Education has too high a price

I

t has been said that an education is priceless, but is it really?

If you were asked why you were in college, you would probably give a response along the lines of “To get a good job after graduation.” That is usually the goal behind our schooling endeavors, which for most of us began when we first attended high school.

We took college preparatory classes, threw ourselves into every extracurricular activity suitable to our interests, and went on those monotonous college visits to try and decipher fact from marketing techniques.

After all of the high school graduation speeches and goodbyes, we took our first steps into our new normal.

We moved into rooms smaller than Kim Kardashian’s closet, and with a complete stranger, no less. We ventured our way across giant campuses, sat in lecture halls with hundreds of other strangers, and joined clubs consisting of pre-determined cliques. We did this all to gain a college degree.

After four years — or five or six — we begin to prepare ourselves to leave our purgatory and enter into the real world; but what are we taking with us when we go?

A degree, great memories, a handful of close friends and, for many, an enormous amount of student debt amounting to a national average of $25,250.

It is the problem of our generation that we go to school as a sort of job security, we graduate, and alas, there are no jobs. Unemployment rates for the 20 to 24 year age group with bachelor’s degrees is at 7.7 percent. Too many people from our generation are finding themselves in the cold, hard world with a fresh, hot diploma in their hands, a sack full of debt and an empty job title.

Recently Iowa was ranked

By Emma.Rinehart @iowastatedaily.com fourth in the country for defaulted student loan rates with a rate at 11.56 percent. Iowa is also third in the country for having the highest student debt with an average debt at $29, 598, ranking just behind Maine at $29,983 and New Hampshire at $31,048. Adding to these facts, Iowa State ranks in the top 10 public universities with the highest student debt in the country.

So, why does Iowa State have so much debt? First, Iowa State is known around the country for its engineering college; in fact the College of Engineering enrolls 23.2 percent of students.

This naturally brings in many out of state tuition payers who are attracted to the potential opportunities the university offers. With absolutely no reciprocity available in the state of Iowa, out of state tuition can cost out of state students, about 23 percent of the undergraduate student body, about $20,000 a year.

If you are part of the 68 percent of the Iowa State student body that is from Iowa, your tuition bill will probably run around the price range of $8,000. This seems far more reasonable than the out of state tuition, but still adds up to a bill of $24,000 by the end of the traditional four year academic career.

The other major contributing factor to the high price of college is housing. Contrary to popular belief, this price is not affected by one’s residency status; it overcharges each student equally. A typical dorm room for two people on the Iowa State campus ranges an average from 140 square feet to 155 square feet. The average cost of these dorms is around $4,000 for an academ-

ic year, consisting of about seven months, excluding breaks. Counting in the fact that this price is doubled since two people typically share a room this comes to a total of $1,140 per month for one room. Not to mention meal plans are often a requirement to live in the dorms. The cost of convenience can be high.

Now adding up all these numbers into something significant will result in a grand total of around $27,000 for out of state costs per year, and about $15,000 per year for in state costs. Take that times four years and the numbers are not favorable.

With an average student debt of $30,000 for students graduating from Iowa institutions and national unemployment rates sitting at 8 percent, there is not much to look forward to after graduation.

All we have is a pictureframed diploma and a resume.

Now, the question remains, as to whether there is any worth in a college education.

This all depends on what a person wishes to achieve with an education.

If a person wants to become wealthy, they should not go to college; that is what the stock market is for. If a person wants to gain an education, experiences and different cultural insights that could potentially lead to a dream career, then college is probably a good fit.

An education may be priceless, but a college degree most certainly is not. A college degree is expensive and time consuming. It can leave a student broke and facing a cold, harsh reality that is the “real world,” but it can also leave a student with a new understanding of that world they are about to embark into, so maybe the worth of a degree or an education all depends on your outlook.

To change the status of the ‘TMNT’ to aliens changes the fundamentals of their origin story.”

Claire Vriezen to explain how they got here, where their parents were, and what happened to their home planet that caused them to leave. This scenario would also require that they received their martial arts training on Earth, and if Bay adhered to the original characters, necessitate the introduction of their rat sensei — the sensei that also happens to be a mutant. Which would bear explaining, and created a tangled mess of mutant and alien forces in the movie.

Now, Bay also commented that “kids are going to believe, one day, that these turtles actually do exist, when we are done with this movie.” Personally, I always thought that one of the appeals of superhero stories that feature normal people turned into a masked crime fighter was that anyone could imagine themselves in the same role.

You didn’t need to be anyone special to imagine that, like Peter Parker, you were bitten by a radioactive spider and had turned into a web-slinging, spandex-wearing hero.

Wander into the universe of Marvel Comics and perhaps, like the Fantastic Four and you could gain superpowers through cosmic rays, or turn into the Hulk. Similarly, you could imagine yourself going about everyday life, only to discover that you have a genetic mutation giving you X-Men-like abilities.

Michael Bay may be able to take some creative liberties with the story of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in adopting it to a revamped movie version, but to change the fundamental basis of the Turtle’s origins is really making an entirely different story. It would no longer be the tale of mutated turtles, but that of extraterrestrials. Beyond that, it’s altering a much loved childhood story for many adults who grew up with Michelangelo, Raphael, Leonardo and Donatello.

College doesn’t pay

hen it comes to classic cartoons and comics, I’m a bit of a traditionalist. So when Michael Bay plans to completely slaughter yet another favorite comic and cartoon of the ‘80s and ‘90s, I must protest.

Michael Bay was quoted as saying that in his new live action version of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the four reptilian protagonists were not, in fact, going to be mutants. At a Nickelodeon presentation last week, Bay said that “these turtles are from an alien race, and they are going to be tough, edgy, funny and completely lovable.” Sure, your characters might be appealing to the audience, but that doesn’t mean you abuse your artistic license to the point of an unrecognizable storyline.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles most will remember from their childhood were just that: teenaged, mutated, ninja-trained turtles.

To change the status of the TMNT to aliens changes the fundamentals of their origin story. And for those who are fans of a good comic book, the origin story can be the most important and most fundamental aspect of a character. It often sets up the conflicts that give rise to personality traits and characteristics of the heroes, as well as provide answers to all those questions curious fans want to know — who their families were, what their home planets were like, who were they before they got powers, why they are fighting crime.

For the TMNT, their origin story tells the tale of how four unsuspecting average turtles were exposed to a chemical spill that mutated them into anthropomorphic reptiles and then trained in martial arts by a fellow mutant.

If Michael Bay intends to rewrite the story of the TMNTs and instead present them as aliens, we lose much of their origins that, well, makes the rest of the TMNT story fall apart. At this point, it is unclear whether Bay intends to introduce the TMNTs as aliens who somehow end up on earth and are raised here, or if he will have the characters come to earth already grown and fighting. If the latter is the storyline to be followed, there are many things that bear examining.

If the TMNTs are aliens, there is no need for their mentor, the rat Splinter, who trains the teens. If the TMNTs are aliens, how does this explain their archaic weaponry? Surely aliens are capable of lasers and rayguns.

Additionally, why are the Turtles even on Earth, and why would they be fighting with earthly villains?

Conversely, if the Turtles were to fall to Earth as younglings, Bay would then have

After dispute, ‘Timsanity’ a sure thing for New York DENNIS WASZAK Jr. AP Sports Writer NEW YORK — Tim Tebow is coming to New York. Really.

After a big false start, the New York Jets pulled off a Tebowlike comeback Wednesday night, getting the quarterback who turned the Denver Broncos from an also-ran into a playoff team last season and became the NFL’s most talkedabout player — for a fourthand sixth-round draft pick.

Now, Tebow mania is opening on Broadway.

Eight hours after initially agreeing to a deal, the teams completed the trade that was hung up when the Jets apparently balked at repaying Denver more than $5 million for a salary advance due Tebow.

The two sides agreed to split that cost, and Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum said the team was “comfortable with the compensation.”

“You’ve got a tough player on the field, a leader in the locker room and a guy who shares the faith that I share,” Jets defensive end Mike DeVito said.

“So, I’m very grateful to have him on our team, and I feel it’s going to really benefit us as a whole.”

Punishment for bounty system laid out for Saints The Associated Press Meting out punishment for a bounty system that targeted key opposing players, the NFL suspended New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton without pay next season and indefinitely banned the team’s former defensive coordinator, Gregg Williams.

Payton is accused of trying to cover up a system of extra cash payouts that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell on Wednesday called “totally unacceptable.”

Sending a message by taking a harsh stand, Goodell also banned Saints general manager Mickey Loomis for the first eight regular-season games next season and assistant coach Joe Vitt for the first six games.

The Saints were also fined $500,000 and lost their 2012 and 2013 second-round picks.

Goals and a groom for Long Soccer star gets a dream proposal

By Caitlyn.Dimig @iowastatedaily.com After a soccer practice in 2011 at Lied Recreation Athletic Center, junior defender Megan Long walked out to her car only to see a yellow parking ticket placed underneath her windshield wipers.

Thinking, ‘but I have a pass,’ Long was pleasantly surprised as she opened the yellow envelope and found an invitation to Aunt Maude’s restaurant from her boyfriend Joey Longobardi, senior in kinesiology.

After dinner, Longobardi pulled out a stack of note cards and told Long they were going on a scavenger hunt.

“We went to places that were significant in our relationship,” Long said.

One card read: “What did I get to eat at Coldstone on our first date?”

Long, junior in dietetics, knew the answer. It was a mint chocolate chip milkshake.

A few more stops and the pair ended up at Stomping Grounds — the restaurant where, as a freshman, Long sipped a sugar-free vanilla latte and Longobardi officially asked her to be his girlfriend.

He pulled out another card, and it asked where the tradition of kissing at midnight was.

The pair found themselves underneath the Campanile, where Longobardi pulled out one final card, which read: “Genesis 2:24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be united with his wife.”

Longobardi dropped to one knee, pulled out a green box and asked Long to marry him.

“Her face lit up, and then it was just instant tackle,” Longobardi said.

“She didn’t even look at the ring for five minutes.”

Long said she didn’t cry, because she was just so excited. She said she had no clue he was going to propose.

The proposal came just one year after they first met.

The couple met in 2010 while on a trip with the Salt Company to volunteer in Haiti after an earthquake had struck.

Longobardi said he remembers seeing Long and thinking she was the most gorgeous girl.

“I thought she was way out of my league,” Longobardi said.

Flash forward more than two years and the invitations are out. The date is set for May 19. Long will walk down the aisle wearing her mother’s modernized A-line, lace wedding dress at First Christian Church in downtown Ames.

Both Long and Longobardi have felt the pressure as they plan their wedding, study for school and participate in countless activities.

“There’s really just not enough time in the day,” Long said.

As a defender for the Iowa State soccer team Long dedicates several hours to practice, sometimes getting up at 5:15 a.m. to make it to 6 a.m. weightlifting.

Longobardi also dedicates much

time to practice as a member of the women’s basketball scout team, in which the women’s team plays against him in preparation.

Both Long and Longobardi love sports. The two love to watch basketball and football games together.

Longobardi said he’s been to 75 percent of Long’s soccer games.

“I’ve made a few trips around the country,” Longobardi said of traveling to her soccer games.

Besides playing sports, they’re both involved in club activities.

Long is a member of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and Longobardi is involved in leadership for the Salt Company, works as a server at The Café and does research on

exercise physiology.

“There are days when I’m like, ‘I’m never going to get it finished,’” Long said of the wedding planning. “My fiancé is really good about keeping me sane. He’s the level-headed one when I get emotional.”

Long’s mother, Lynn, said when the two are together they are very relaxed, which she said is good since they have such “crazy, hectic schedules.”

“People thinks it’s crazy with them getting married [while] still in school,” Lynn said. “But when you find that right person and the perfect match, why wait?”

Lynn said her and her husband, Dwight, love Longobardi and are ex-

cited to have him join the family.

“No one’s going to be good enough for your little girl, but Joey comes just about as close as anybody who walks this earth, because he does all the right things,” Lynn said.

Lynn said Dwight admires Longobardi’s ability to play basketball.

Despite their busy schedules, Long and Longobardi still manage to find time together, whether it is tuxedo fittings, cake tastings or even just kicking a soccer ball around.

“I thought I was in love with her the first day I met her,” Longobardi said. “It’s just been growing over time, the first day I thought I had that feeling, but more and more I realize it gets deeper everyday.”

Wrestling

Pieces in place for next season Recruits, returns lead to optimism

By Jake.Calhoun @iowastatedaily.com A promising season of young talent was plagued by injuries for the ISU wrestling team two years removed from its third-place finish at nationals.

Concussions, back problems and re-aggravated injuries seemed to be the norm for the Cyclones (4-13, 0-6 Big 12) under third-year coach Kevin Jackson, who saw his team finish 35th — the worst finish in program history — at the 2012 NCAA Championships on March 17 in St. Louis.

“We weren’t world-beaters this year; we just weren’t,” Jackson said after the tournament. “But I do think we’re putting the pieces in place that we’re going to get there, and we’re truly confident in that fact.”

The chief headline from the season was senior Andrew Sorenson’s misfortune at nationals, where he fell just one match shy of attaining All-America status.

“It’s disappointing when you’ve got a kid that you feel has done everything right and you just can’t explain it,” Jackson said of Sorenson’s loss. “There’s really nothing I could say to make him feel better.”

Sorenson severely sprained his ankle in his second-round victory in the tournament, which affected his ability to fire off attacks and defend from the bottom position on the mat in his two losses following the injury.

“I won matches this year because I pushed the pace, I took a lot of shots, and I had a lot of scoring opportunities,” Sorenson said. “And that’s just not the way I wrestled [at the tournament].”

Sorenson was 26-2 coming into the tournament and was 3-3 against three of the

We weren’t world-beaters this year. But I do think we’re putting the pieces into place that we’re going to get there.”

Track and field

ISU gearing up for spring’s outdoor competition Elahi faces final season at ISU as team refreshes

By Stephen.Koenigsfeld @iowastatedaily.com Let the season begin … again. The women’s track and field team has been preparing for the past two weeks for the start of the outdoor track season.

For some athletes, they have already competed in a full indoor track season with conference and a national meet.

For others, the start of the outdoor track season is the first time they will see competition.

Regardless of the runner’s situation, coaches said it is time to restart and reboot for that coming competition.

“It’s like your DVR is all messed up, and you’ve got to reset it,” said ISU coach Corey Ihmels. “You’ve got to reset things and make sure you’re back to square one.”

Coaches said one group that has been transitioning well towards the outdoor season has been the sprinters.

Sprints coach Nate Wiens said workouts have remained consistent and effort is always there.

“With Kianna and Donnise and Krista now coming into her own, we wanted to have three to four strong in that group and that’s what we always want to have,” Wiens said. “It’s turning out to be a

Kufahl’s training not hindered by minor injuries

By Dylan.Montz @iowastatedaily.com Last week was spring break at Iowa State, but that does not mean the ISU men’s track and field team had a break from workouts in preparation for the upcoming outdoor track and field season.

Junior 400-meter hurdler Greg Kufahl said that while he has had a few minor nagging injuries with hamstrings tightening up, training has been going very well and he is really looking forward to outdoor season.

“It’s always nice to get on a full sized track outdoors and get in some warm weather,” Kufahl said.

Kufahl also said how the move to outdoors will be ideal for working on hurdles because it will provide the conditions of what actual competitive races will be like in the outdoor season.

Sprints and hurdles coach

It was a bit of a reality check after indoors got over. ... But it has helped me a lot to really focus and treat every practice like it’s nationals.”

Kianna Elahi really good combination with those four women, and they’re training really well.”

One sprinter that had a successful indoor season was senior Kianna Elahi.

Elahi ran the 600-yard dash and served as the anchor for the women’s 4x400-meter run.

Elahi said she’s excited for her last outdoor track season as a Cyclone and that she is giving it everything she has.

“It was a bit of a reality check after indoors got over and that it really sunk in that this is my last year and last season,” Elahi said. “But it has helped me a lot to really focus and treat every practice like it’s nationals.”

Like Elahi, a majority of the sprinters are going to the Arizona State University Invitational this weekend in Tempe, Ariz., Coaches said it will be nice to see what some of the women can do in the first outdoor meet of the season.

“Our sprint squad isn’t huge, and we like it that way,” Wiens said. “We keep it medium to small, and we want our

[Kufahl’s] just got to keep working on some of those little aspects.

He’s got a lot of strength, a lot of will and a lot of determination.”

Nate Wiens Nate Wiens said that throughout the end of indoor season until now, Kufahl has been making great progress in his workouts.

“He’s just got to keep working on some of those little aspects,” Wiens said. “He’s got a lot of strength and a lot of will and determination.

“He’s just got to get a little bit more efficient at hurdling at that full speed over the 400-meter hurdles.”

Kufahl said that in addition to running the 400-meter hurdles, he will also hope to compete in the 4x400-meter relay, but said that he probably favors just the 400-meter hurdles.

“It’s really more of the men-

>>SORENSON.p7 than we had coming in,” Sorenson said. “Those four guys that you saw at nationals will be leading the team next year and hopefully they do better.”

Also returning will be 197-pounder Kyven Gadson, one of the more highly touted recruits to come to Iowa State from Jackson’s 2010 recruiting class, which saw just Finch and Goettl qualify for nationals this year.

Gadson was sidelined for the season after reinjuring his shoulder on Nov. 27 in a dual loss to Oklahoma.

After the news broke of Gadson’s benching, Jackson said paperwork was been filed to possibly give him a medical redshirt to retain his four years of eligibility.

Jackson said Gadson could receive an extra year since his shoulder problems have been documented dating back to his high school wrestling days.

“We’re hoping that he can be our guy, or one of our guys,” Jackson said of Gadson. “There are a couple guys in that weight class that we’re looking at, but obviously we’re trying to put pieces to the puzzle in case that’s not the case as well.

“We haven’t had him yet, so we’re also looking at our future with him and we don’t want to

Despite the bittersweetness of nearing the end of her Cyclone career, she said she is still excited for success in the outdoor spring season.

talent level to be high.”

With the ASU Invitational right around the corner, the coaches and athletes said they have been anxious to get outdoors all indoor season. Now that it’s here, Ihmels said they are ready to go.

“It’s a different dynamic when you go outside,” Ihmels said. “Everything indoors is so controlled, and you just have so many more things to do [outdoors.]” tal race that it comes down to,” Kufahl said of the 400-meter hurdles.

“You have something to think about, and it’s not just you racing that person next to you,” Kufahl said. “You have to get your form right over every single hurdle and keep your speed going and it’s really that mental part of the 400-[meter] hurdles that I actually like.”

A native of Golden Valley, Minn., Kufahl competed in the 300-meter hurdles at Hopkins High School in Minnesota and is still working on the transition to the 400-meter race.

Wiens said that he has seen a lot of growth since Kufahl has started.

“He was really struggling when he got here to get through the 400 race,” Wiens said. “He was a pretty good 300-meter hurdler but not it’s 36 inch hurdles all the way through 10 of them.”

Wiens also said that Kufahl has the potential to qualify for the Big 12 Conference meet in hurdles and has a lot of will and determination, but there will need to be some hard work put in, which he said he knows Kufahl is capable of.

think about him not being in the lineup.”

However, no official announcement has been made about Gadson’s status as of now.

Also coming into the program next season will be Jackson’s 2012 recruiting class, which features Destin McCauley — the No. 1 recruit of 2011 before decommitting from Wisconsin to train for a year — and John Meeks — the sixth undefeated wrestler in Iowa high school history — among others.

In November, Jackson said McCauley would make an immediate impact upon joining the team.

As for now, the ice packs have been passed around, and the offseason has officially started.

Next season, however, is not too far away for the Cyclones.

“I’m hoping that all four guys that return, live and learn from this experience,” Jackson said. “This is an opportunity that is very tough to not take advantage of. So they have one to two to three years among the four of them to have an opportunity to do it again.

“We expect them all to have lived and learned and recognize that everything that we’re training them to do, they’ll see out here and that they’re capable of doing [those things]. It’s just a matter of recognizing situations and capitalizing once they recognize it.”

In the latest ISU Theatre production, Angry Birds, a can of whipped cream and four defensive parents all come together to prove just how hard it is to remain civilized in a tense situation.

The student-produced show, “God of Carnage,” will open Thursday in Pearson Hall, room 2140, and run through Sunday.

Each year, the theater department puts on a show unqiue in that all of the directing, acting and designing are all controlled by the students themselves.

Kelsey Kovacevich, senior in performing arts, earned the opportunity to direct this year’s student-produced show when she impressed the committee during the selection process last semester.

“We select a play first, whatever we’re interested in doing, and then we prepare a presentation for it,” Kovacevich said. “After that, we present it to the entire theater faculty, and they choose from there.”

For her show, Kovacevich chose “God of Carnage” by Yasmina Reza because it was a new and interesting script that none of the students had the chance to work on before .

The show is about two

sets of parents who arrange a meeting to discuss their sons’ behavior towards one another.

There was an altercation on the playground at school, and the parents attempt to deal with the matter in a civilized way.

As the meeting progresses, however, things get out of hand.

“What eventually happens is there is this huge disintegration of propriety and civility, and [the parents] are a thousand times worse than their children by the end of it,” Kovacevich said.

Brittny Rebhuhn, junior in performing arts, plays one of the four angry parents in the show, and she said that although the characters in the play may not get along as well as they’d like to think they would, it was not the same case with the cast and crew working on the project.

“My favorite thing about this show was probably the people I got to work with,” Rebhuhn said. “Everyone on the production team, cast and crew came together and fed off one another to make something we all love and care about.”

Most of the students came right into working on the production after finishing their production of Chekov’s Short Stories in February, so they did not have much of a break before they began working to make “God of Carnage” come alive.

It was a very collaborative process from everyone at rehearsal, and although they

Choir

Statesmen mix music, movement

By Olivia Gard Ames247 writer

The Iowa Statesmen are not shying away from the spotlight. In fact, they’ll be holding two concerts at Iowa State this weekend, one of them a joint concert with the Wartburg College men’s choir, after making trips to Webster City High School and South Hamilton High School on Thursday.

On Saturday, the Wartburg College Ritterchor will join the Statesmen in Martha-Ellen Tye Recital Hall. With approximately 110 Statesmen and 70 Ritterchor singers, the concert will showcase 180 men on stage. Both choirs will sing eight pieces of their own in addition to four joint choir songs, said James Rodde, director of the Statesmen choir.

On Sunday, Statesmen will

Statesmen When: Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 1:30 p.m.

What: Two Iowa Statesmen concerts Where: Martha-Ellen Tye Recital Hall Cost: $2 students, $4 adults present an independent concert in the recital hall featuring most of the same music they performed Saturday, as well as an appearance

by Just Shy of a Dozen, an 11-person men’s ensemble.

For both concerts, different ele-

ments will be used to try to present concerts that are both visually and musically appealing to the audience.

“Half of the performance is music and the other half is visual, so whatever piece you’re doing or whatever style you’re singing, you have to communicate that visually as well as vocally,” said Benjamin Friedrich, senior in advertising and member of Statesmen.

To help with the visual performance, the choir has practiced choreography for their barbershop music, Friedrich said. In addition, African songs such as “Wana Baraka,” a Swahili piece they will perform Saturday, inherently include their own kind of movement. Since song is always paired with dance in African culture, the choir uses expressive body movement when singing, Friedrich said.

“O filii et filiae” incorporates a different performance element by utilizing the extra singers at Saturday’s concert. During this piece, Statesmen and Ritterchor will separate and sing back and forth at one another to create a double choir sound.

Friedrich called his own experience with participating in the Statesmen choir a stress reliever and “generally fulfilling.” Although he enjoys practices just as much, Friedrich said, performing on stage in front of an audience makes the choir better.

Joseph Leon, junior in music and member of Statesmen, said concerts show the motivation and dedication the singers have.

“The Statesmen especially really love being on stage,” Leon said. “It’s a great opportunity to see a choir that really loves what they’re doing and know it very well.”

Q: How did you get started in theater?

Q: What do you like most about acting?

A: There is a lot of freedom in it. It’s fun to play someone other than yourself but at the same time, there is so much of yourself mixed in with the character that it’s kind of freeing in your own right as well.

Q: Do you have a favorite produc-

tion that you have been in, and why?

A: I was in “Six Characters” last year and this year, which was directed by Matt Foss.

It was the experience that made me realize that theatre is what I want to do for the rest of my life. It was also just so much fun, and I got to know so many people. It was one of the most wonderful things that I have ever done.

Sound Farm studio releases compilation of Iowa bands

By Vincent Geerts Ames247 writer Sound Farm is a professional recording studio, aptly named for its rural setting in Jamaica, Iowa.

National touring artists like Slipknot, Mindless Self-Indulgence and Radio Moscow have recorded at the studio, which was opened

by Melissa Stukenholtz in October 2006.

After over a year of work, 30 Iowa acts (including many from Ames) have received free studio time for their tracks on the release of Sound Farm’s compilation, “Sonic Harvest,” to be released Saturday.

All attendees to the release show at the Bombay Bicycle Club in Clive, Iowa, will receive a code to download the album from Maximum Ames’ website.

Maximum Ames founder Chris Ford was originally contacted to record a track with his band Christopher the Conquered, but with four of five Maximum Ames acts contributing to “Sonic Harvest” Ford said, “The entire project lines up with our goals of supporting Iowa music.”

Isaac Norman, of local band Longshadowmen, also works with other Ames audio engineers at Righteous Dog Recording.

Norman helped to engineer and mix many tracks on the album, including Mumford’s and Utopia Park contributions.

“I learned a whole lot from the experience, and I hope to have similar equipment myself someday,” he said. “It was really great that so many artists got to record in such a high-quality environment where they might not be able to otherwise.”

Thomas Martin also worked with many other aspiring engineers during the compilation. He said Sonic Harvest was “a community project” to reflect the current state of music in Iowa.

“It’s awesome to try and get as many different people coming in as possible, ideally the whole world on a community project,” Martin said.

He helped people like Mike Huss of Cleo’s Apartment, Jordan Mayland of Volcano Boys and Phil Young of Nuclear Rodeo to learn more about mixing on their band’s tracks.

“It’s nice to have a big project wrapped up, be done and still smiling,” Martin said.

Tickets for the release show can be purchased now through Tikly for $5.

The show features 14 bands featured on the compilation in a live show starting with a performance from Ames’ own

>>ROYCE.p1 lowing me to feel comfortable and at home enough to share my problems with anxiety and pursuit of helping those everywhere who suffer from mental illness.”

White’s goals, as he pointed out throughout the season, are much more far-reaching than simply playing basketball. Philanthropy is a passion of White’s, and by going to the NBA, the 20-year-old said he will be able to reach people he might not be able to now.

Specifically, White wants to help let the world become aware of those with mental illnesses and that with the right help and information, people can overcome those obstacles and be successful.

“Anything is possible,” White said when asked what is possible for him to do about anxiety awareness. “Fortymillion people in America right now are diagnosed with anxiety disorder. It’s thought that probably one in four human beings on the planet, which is probably like 1.5 billion people, have some type of mental illness and the with that number there’s probably nobody who isn’t affected by it, directly or indirectly.

“So I think, as far as what I can do, I’m not sure. But as far as how much the awareness can increase, there’s no limit, and it needs to happen more so than me wanting it to happen.”

The reason he’ll be able to raise that awareness, White said, is because Ames “gave me my life back.” Prior to transferring to Iowa State, White was charged with theft and fifth-degree assault for allegedly shoplifting and shoving a security guard at the Mall of America. White eventually pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of disorderly conduct and theft.

ISU coach Fred Hoiberg, after speaking with Minnesota coach Tubby Smith, took a chance on White anyway, and that second chance was everything, White said.

“My life was not in a great place when I first arrived here

two years ago,” White said.

“And, you know, the basketball thing was one piece, but more so this community and living in this community and seeing how great it is, and how well it functions and how much the people do for each other here really allowed me to reflect and find myself as a man and become better off as a human being and move forward to who I want to be for the rest of my life.”

Hoiberg’s pride in White was evident during the news conference Wednesday afternoon. When asked what led to his recommendation that White opt for the NBA, the former ISU great too pointed to the Minneapolis native’s dreams away from the court.

“He has so many goals over the course of his life and we kind of came to the conclusion that the best thing would be to move on to that next step in his life, and I’m confident he’ll take full advantage of that,” Hoiberg said. “I’m confident that he’s going to have a very long career and he’s going to do a lot of things to help a lot of people and that’s the great thing about Royce.”

Hoiberg received criticism for the decision bring White in. His strategy of bringing in several transfers from other high-profile programs — Chris Allen from Michigan State, Chris Babb from Penn State

and Anthony Booker from Southern Illinois — was questioned, and many thought the mix of personalities and talent may not gel.

The future professional, however, said in the wake of the Cyclones’ 87-71 loss to Kentucky that the team proved a lot of people wrong this season. He said without the second-year coach — whom he called “an idol and a friend” during his news conference — he definitely wouldn’t be where he’s at.

“Without him, without his blessing, without his interest in me, I probably wouldn’t have landed here,” White said.

“And he had to go to bat for me in a lot of ways to even get me here, and he believed in me.

And because he did, I think Iowa State believed in me too because of the credit he’s built up in this community.”

Now, with the decision official, White said he will begin preparations for the NBA draft. When asked what’s next for him, White said simply, “work.”

Hoiberg, as a former NBA executive with the Minnesota Timberwolves, has a good idea what White will need to do, as

well as what he can bring to an NBA floor.

“As far as skills translating to the next level what Royce does, the spacing is so much better in that league because of where the three-point line is, you get five extra feet of room for spacing,” Hoiberg said.

“And there’s not a lot of people that can stay in front of this guy when he’s coming down the lane, he’s a freight train coming down the court and he showed that I think best this last weekend and had shown it all through the course of the season.”

White finished his ISU career having averaged 13.4 points and 9.3 rebounds per game, and also led the Cyclones in assists (5), blocks (0.9) and steals (1.2), as well as turnovers (3.8).

With his performances in the NCAA Tournament against consensus NBA lottery picks in Connecticut’s Andre Drummond and likely No. 1 overall pick Anthony Davis of Kentucky, White vaulted his name into discussion for the first round of the draft.

Several NBA draft projections list White as a midfirst-round pick as of March

Craig Brackins

Jamaal Tinsley

Played at Iowa State for three seasons from 2007-08 to 2009-10. Was drafted by the Oklahoma City Thunder with the 21st overall pick of the 2010 draft, but the pick was traded to the New Orleans Hornets. Brackins was then traded to the Philadelphia 76ers. Has averaged 1.3 points per game in 12 career games played for the 76ers in the last two seasons.

Played at Iowa State for two seasons from 1999-2000 to 2000-01. Was drafted by the Vancouver Grizzlies with the 27th overall pick of the 2001 draft but was traded to the Indiana Pacers. Tinsley played for the Pacers for seven seasons before he was waived in 2009. He then signed with the Memphis Grizzlies and played 38 games before being released. In 2011, Tinsley signed with the Utah Jazz entering his ninth year playing in the NBA. Has averaged 9.5 points per game in his career.

Noteable Cyclones who chose to leave early for the NBA: Craig Brackins In his three seasons playing for the Cyclones, Brackins averaged 16.0 points, 7.7 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game. That included a 42-point performance against Kansas in Jan. 2009, which was the most points scored by an ISU player against Kansas, and the most scored against Kansas in any Big 12 game. Brackins was projected to be a lottery pick after his sophomore season in 2008-09, but chose to stay another year.

Marcus Fizer Fizer played at Iowa State for three seasons, from 1997-98 through 1999-2000. He finished his career having averaged 18.9 points, and 7.4 rebounds per game, including having averaged 22.8 points per game in his final season in 1999-2000. Fizer led the Cyclones to the Big 12 regular season and conference tournament championships, as well as a trip to the Elite Eight in the NCAA Tournament, where Iowa State lost to eventual champions Michigan State. He played six seasons in the NBA.

21. To ask White, though, he isn’t concerned with exactly where he’s going to be selected. While he knows that’s the speculation, and the advice he received on entering the draft was based, in part, on it, White is hedging his bets to a point.

He’s concerned, he said, about being selected at all. That concern, he said, will keep him satisfied no matter where he goes.

“I don’t know,” White said when asked where he thought he’d be drafted. “I’m still under the belief that I’m not going to make it, to be honest. I like to keep it that way and not get my hopes up. It’s something I’ve dreamed of doing my whole life and I don’t want to be dis-

appointed on draft night when my name’s not called.”

Going forward, White said he will always remember Iowa State and what it did for him.

The journey from the Mall of America to the NCAA Tournament was a long one, and White said it taught him a lot about himself.

“It gives me confidence, the things that I went through here, that I’m way more sound human than I was when I got here,” White said. “That’s probably the best thing I took from this whole experience is that my outlook on life has me in a place where I can be confident the next thing that life throws at me.”

Alumna knocks out pregnant fitness

By Rachel.Sinn @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State turns out many students that become successful entrepreneurs each year and Erica Ziel is no exception.

She is the founder of Core Athletica Incorporated and has become a sought-after expert in fitness-infused pilates and personal training.

Ziel, a graduate from Iowa State and a 28-year-old wife and mother of three, has become a fitness guru to many mothers-to-be in Newport Beach, Calif. With the launch of her “Knocked-Up Fitness” exercise DVDs and classes, she helps women stay fit during pregnancy and after.

After graduating from Iowa State with a degree in kinesiology and health in 2005, Ziel moved to California to start an internship with Frog’s Club One in Long Beach, meeting her husband shortly after and settling down to create a family of her own. While completing her internship, Ziel began training in Pilates through the John Garey program.

“As time has gone on, I’ve done my own thing and I just always wanted my own business,” Ziel said. “I’ve always been interested in prenatal fitness, which I have done,

State, mesh it with the workshops she attends and puts it all together with her own spin on it.

“She enjoys what she does,” Carol said. “When she was here at Iowa State, she started a fitness program at the hospital, and she enjoyed seeing the improvement.

“I think that’s where my daughter gets her greatest thrill, is seeing her clients improve over time.”

As for living in California, Erica admits now that she has a family of her own she does miss being near family, but her mom knows it’s where she needs to be.

“It would be nice to have her here, but she’s in a good place,” Carol said. “My husband and I, we are proud of her and what she’s accomplished. I think really it’s just the beginning for her.”

“I’m a farm girl at heart and I always will be,” Ziel said. “I feel that growing up in Iowa and having amazing parents, taught me not only to be downto-earth but to have good morals and values, and to know what’s really important in life.”

Ziel’s videos are available on Amazon. For more information about becoming fit during or after pregnancy people can visit her website.
