Icon Donuts & Sweetery opens on Hill LEZIGA BARIKOR Staff Writer

Some students might be tempted to put their New Years’ health and fitness resolutions on hold ­— or at least plan a cheat day — to try out the new sweet spot on the Hill.

On Friday, Jan. 11, Icon Donuts & Sweetery opened in the College Hill area next to Greenhouse Kitchen. The company was created by six owner operators including Kyle Dehmlow, who is also an owner operator of other College Hill businesses, including Greenhouse Kitchen. The Cedar Falls location of Icon is the second to open, the first being on Ridgeway Ave in Waterloo.

“Our original idea was just to do the one on College Hill and we were going to build a production kitchen to work from,” Dehmlow said. “But the land didn’t work out so we had to find another location.”

According to Dehmlow, the Hill did not offer enough space to have a fully functioning kitchen along with a donut store front. He and his business partners decided to explore Waterloo, where they

found the perfect location to house both.

“We worked on that one first to get that up and running because we couldn’t have opened this one without the kitchen,” Dehmlow said.

Both locations offer an ever-changing array of different types of donuts, as well as other pastry items. They also offer a variety of drinks and cold brew coffee, and work is being done to potentially have milkshakes made with donuts in the future. Dehmlow said they are constantly changing the flavors to see what they think will become crowd favorites.

The main feature of the new donut shop is their Icon Donuts, which take their inspiration from famous figures.

“What makes it an Icon Donut is, we looked at memorable people, whether they are iconic times in history, iconic people, characters, songs, artists, somebody that we think has stood the test of time,” Dehmlow said.

These donuts will be a constant feature at both locations, whereas other flavors may filter in-and-out of season.

“We want to give them a name so that when you refer

to that name, you know that donut is coming from our place,” Dehmlow said. “You can get a Long John from anywhere; you can get a chocolate cake donut anywhere.

Can you get a ‘Raspberry Beret’ anywhere? No, you cannot.”

The ‘Raspberry Beret’ is Dehmlow’s favorite of the Icons, named after the Prince song of the same name.

There are about 40 more Icons that have not been released yet but are currently being worked on, according to Dehmlow. They are slowly rolling out their different menu options, and there is

constant development as they work on different variations of classic donuts and premium flavors.

“When we think that they’re [a] very, very unique flavor […] when we come up with something that is definitely going to stand out more than anything else, we save it for our Icon category,” Dehmlow said. “And we’ve already come up with a lot of them as far as the names and flavor profile that we want.

And then we keep working at it, until we are happy with the look and the taste.”

The 174-pound Taylor Lujan was also able to win his match against ninth ranked opponent Mikey Labriola.

This was Lujan’s high-

The Panthers will travel to Columbia, Mo. to take on the University of Missouri at 7 p.m. on Jan 17. The Tigers are currently the fifth ranked team in the country.

Wrestling competes at SDSU and Nebraska FRANK WALSH

Sports Writer

The Northern Iowa wrestling team competed last weekend against South Dakota State University and the University of Nebraska.

The Panthers traveled to Brookings, S.D. in order to grapple with the Jackrabbits.

Northern Iowa was able to defeat South Dakota State with a score of 30-10. This win puts the Panthers 2-0 in Big 12 duals.

At 125 pounds, Jacob Schwarm had an explosive win to begin the weekend duals. Schwarm was able to get a pin against Gregory Coapstick in 1:45. This quick pin gave the Panthers a 6-point lead.

Jack Skudlarczyk, a young but gritty wrestler at 133 pounds, was also able to get a win over Spencer Huber of SDSU. Skudlarczyk is currently a freshman and showcased his capabilities by defeating his opponent by

decision with a score of 9-3.

Josh Alber, at 141 pounds, was able to continue his winning streak after a victory at The Midlands tournament by garnering a tech-fall against Aric Williams.

At heavyweight, Izaak Shedenhelm was able to get his very first win competing at this weight class. Shedenhelm is more familiar with competing at 197 pounds, but due to Carter Isley’s injury, Shedenhelm was bumped up to heavyweight. Shedenhelm was able to power through the weight change and defeated Blake Wolters 3-1.

Following their matchup with the Jackrabbits, the UNI men took on the University of Nebraska. The Panthers ultimately fell to the 11th ranked Cornhuskers, 22-12.

Skudlarczyk once again picked up a clutch win against Jevon Parrish in a heated overtime match. Skudlarczyk is currently running with a three-match win streak.

Student predicts game show win in play SOFIA LEGASPI

Campus Life Editor

The phrase “life imitates art” became all too real for one UNI student when a play she had written about winning a game show eerily predicted the future.

Senior digital media production and performance major Laney Kraus-Taddeo wrote “PAT,” a one-act play based on her love of game shows for a Fall 2017 scripwriting class. She submitted it to the Interpreter’s Theatre in April 2018 and received the go-ahead to direct it. By July 2018, she won the same game show that was portrayed in the script with a few details between fiction and reality that were spot-on.

“I had kept that secret since July 19th,” Kraus-Taddeo said, whose play premiered last November. “It was excruciating because I was working on a show about winning on ‘Let’s Make a Deal’ and could not tell anyone during the entire time I was working on the show.

So the actors never knew, and there would be moments where it would almost slip. […] I’m not a very good secret-keeper, so this was a very exciting moment for me that I kept it.”

In Kraus-Taddeo’s play, titled “PAT,” the protagonist and her mother embark on an adventure to find a contestant

Kraus-Taddeo began jumping and screaming, “We did it!”

“It all happened like it did in the play!” Brady said.

The curtains for prize number two parted, revealing a television and a living room set.

“I remember the producer kind of just waving me down, like, ‘That’s not it yet!’” KrausTaddeo recalled. “Because I was like, ‘Wow, that’s a really expensive couch! Like, that is a fancy-schmancy couch! But then the TV [screen] swipes and it’s a trip to the South Pacific!”

When the episode aired in December, Kraus-Taddeo hosted a viewing party with friends, cast members and even professors. Seeing herself on screen was an interesting experience.

“I feel like ­— you know, I’m kind of crazy — but when I watched myself, I was much crazier than I thought I was,” Kraus-Taddeo said. “I mean, I did the ‘Worm’ on national television.”

According to KrausTaddeo, “Let’s Make a Deal” contestants are barred from re-appearing on the show for a minimum of one year and a day. In the meantime, she plans to finish up her education and continue writing.

“So I’ve got a year, but I also have a trip to go on,” she said with a smile.

Catalan looks like Spanish, sounds like Spanish, but is not Spanish. It makes you really appreciate the visual elements of public signage as opposed to just looking for the words you need.

I think that the best way to really appreciate Spanish culture is to immerse yourself in it. During our trip, we got to enjoy two very big Spanish cultural events.

We spent New Years’ Eve in Granada, and Spain has a unique New Years’ tradition that people participate in by eating 12 grapes at midnight. This allows you to be granted 12 wishes for each month, thus blessing your entire new year. We would’ve messed up the timing if it wasn’t for the helpful cues we got from the natives.

One of my favorite parts about my study abroad trip was the time we spent in various mountains, visiting Gibraltar and its many monkeys and just generally climbing to the highest spot to see the view. Spain offered so many beautiful sights and with every picture taken,

we realized that even at our phone’s best, pictures just can’t do it justice.

So, if you have a desire to travel but don’t know where to start, look into doing your capstone with Study Abroad.

As a class, it won’t even be comparable to anything else you’ll take at UNI and in general, I think traveling to a country and culture that is different from your own is a great way to learn and appreciate more about the world we live in.

Trump’s trade war started economic woes Editor’s Note: This guest column was submitted by Steve Corbin, professor emeritus of marketing at the University of Northern Iowa.

Being forced to use postulates, axioms, theorems and inductive and deductive reasoning to find proofs and a solution to high school Geometry problems became a great precursor and positive omen for surviving in life.

Multiple actions during Donald Trump’s first two years of office are building momentum and one theorem is that his ill-conceived trade war has created a domestic

and international economic crisis.

It’s important to understand when Trump dictated that increased tariffs should be paid on foreign goods imported to America, we now have to pay an additional tax to purchase those products. Here are 14 postulates for you to ponder: First, due to Trump’s belligerent isolationism-related trade war and ensuing erratic flip-flopping behavior, businesses from other countries are now circumventing working with American-owned corporations. Countries surpassing USA as easy-to-work-with

include Hong Kong-China, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, Denmark, Norway and Georgia.

Second, Trump’s self-imposed trade war, withdrawal from the 12 nation TransPacific Partnership and berating arguments with Mexican and Canadian leaders has created international uncertainty; 198 countries we have traded with for 70 years no longer trust the United States to be a reliable partner who will honor trade agreements. Forgiving someone who hurt you is easy, but trusting them again is next to impossible.

Third, with America shirking its historic global trade partnerships, research is replete that Russia, China and India are now seizing the opportunity to fill the vacuum and are extending their spheres of influence with heretofore American allies and trading partners.

Fourth, due to the trade war, U.S. agricultural sales to China are running $3.2 billion behind last year’s sales, U.S. sales of pork, soybeans and other food products to China will fall nearly 40 percent next year and net farm income to fall 13 percent this year; Iowa will lose

$1.4 million in revenue.

Fifth, investors and traders from 60 worldwide stock markets have concluded recent stock market volatility and wild price swings are directly related to rising trade war skepticism.

The uncertainty of Trump’s next action and not knowing whether he will reverse any policy to appease his Republican base and Fox News economic advisors isn’t calming investors.

Sixth, in the past six months Trump has assigned four different people to negotiate with China (i.e., Wilbur Ross, Lawrence Kudlow, Steven Mnuchin and Robert Lighthizer). Our allies’ leaders of trade rely on long-term relationships versus short-term appointees; no one likes continual change.

Seventh, the conservative Wall Street Journal reported America’s economy was in trouble when Trump withdrew from the TPP, stating “… the biggest losers are American producers . . . withdrawal from TPP is a deadweight economic loss . . . the U.S. withdrawal from TPP was one of the worst own-goals in recent economic history.” Trump’s inter-

national tariff sanctions followed his autocratic TPP decision.

Facts numbered eight through 14 related to the trade war include: small-business optimism and confidence in U.S. economy has fallen, prospects for higher income are waning, consumer confidence is receding, the U.S. dollar has declined in value, deceleration of factory activity is occurring, home construction and sales are declining and a reduction in demand for goods made in America is occurring.

Fourteen pieces of evidence is sufficient proof for me. Trump’s trade war started the world’s economic woes.

Contact your U.S. Representative and Senators demanding they reign in our authoritarian-in-Chief by declaring Trump’s June 15, 2018 tariff sanction under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 whereas trading with China, Mexico, Canada, Europe, et al, “threatened our national security” is illogical, illegal and harming all Americans . . . your job, income, lifestyle and retirement depends on taking bold action.

MLK Day of serving food-insecure kids ANNA FLANDERS Staff Writer

The giving season didn’t end on Christmas, according to some volunteer organizers.

On Monday, Jan. 21, students, faculty and community members will come together for the fourth annual MLK Day of Service in Maucker Union.

While the day of service has previously centered around packing Meals from the Heartland, this year’s participants will spend the day volunteering for the BackPack Program benefiting food-insecure students of all ages in the Cedar Valley area.

The event is organized by the Service and Leadership Council (SLC), the Northeast Iowa Food Bank, the Volunteer Center of Cedar Valley and AmeriCorps.

“How the BackPack Program works is teachers identify students that [. . .] have food deprivation problems,” said Sarah Madsen, a sophomore deciding major and the executive of SLC’s Days of Service Committee.

“So it’s really the teachers that identify the students and from there, we’ll give the teachers the meals that are packaged, and they’ll sneak it into the kids’ backpack [. . .] They’ll do it in some discreet way and then the kid will be able to take it.”

SLC President Morgan Johnston likes the dis-

creteness of the BackPack Program.

“A big thing in schools is equality, and when a student is like the black sheep of the group, then they’re often picked on and they don’t feel safe in the environment,” said Johnston, a senior elementary education major. “So this is just another way for them to be safe in the environment, but also get the [resources] that they need in order to focus on their learning.”

The Northeast Iowa Food Bank will provide all the non-perishable food items for Monday’s project.

Madsen likes that the BackPack Program specifically benefits children because she thinks they are an overlooked group when it comes to food insecurity.

And that’s just one thing about food insecurity that

many Iowans don’t know.

Volunteers will be tested on other facts about the Northeast Iowa Food Bank via trivia questions throughout the event.

“I hope that [the volunteers] learn a little bit more about Iowa poverty,” Johnston said. “It’s not something that’s very profound in Iowa — people don’t know about it as much. If you go to Chicago or Detroit, people see it a lot, but here in Iowa, we don’t think that. But it happens more often than we think, so just bringing awareness to that poverty level [is important].”

There are 675 spots for volunteers spread across three 90-minute sessions, starting at 9 a.m. Volunteers must sign up in advance on vccv.org’s “Volunteers” page.

No volunteer experience is required to participate, but attendees must be at least 12 years old.

According to Madsen, volunteers packed around 13,000 meals last year. She hopes to surpass that number this year and thinks that packing 20,000 meals would be a great achievement.

Both Johnston and Madsen hope that volunteers remember the selflessness and service that Martin Luther King, Jr. exemplified in his lifetime.

“Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was obviously a big server,” Johnston said. “He didn’t do it exactly by packaging food, but he was always big on poverty and segregation.

So this is just another way of serving what his viewpoints were at the time through

something different. But also giving back to those he was most passionate about — those who were in lower poverty. So that’s just basically how we are celebrating him still and also making it more of a day on than a day off because people often forget why we have it. They just think it’s another day off [...] We’re trying to bring it back to more where we bring awareness for what he did.”

“It’s nice that MLK Day falls right after Christmas, so it’s kind of still in the giving season,” Madsen said. “It’s important because MLK [...] did so much in his life. A lot of people just know him for the civil rights [activism] that he did. But he did a lot of service. He worked a lot with people in his community.”

‘Hoodie’ exhibit examines implicit bias COLBY WEBER Staff Writer

When you walk down the street, you may not pay much attention to other people’s fashion sense. In everyday life, a clothing item such as a hoodie is seen as commonplace and ordinary. However, due to unconscious biases, some people may see it as a warning sign.

Assistant Director for Multicultural Education Services Keyah Levy wishes to alter these biases with the “Humanize My Hoodie” exhibit, a collaboration between Blu Collar Fashion and Multicultural Education Services.

“First, the Humanize My Hoodie movement was developed by a fashion designer, Andre Wright, and criminology professor Jason Sole,” Levy said. “It stemmed from unarmed black men in hoodies, and it’s based on threat perception and furthering that conversation. It allows us to collaborate with the community and the campus and it’s a creative way for people to get involved. The actual exhibit displays hoodies and black people being targeted by police brutality. It’s also tied to on-campus issues such as creating a more inclusive curriculum.”

Levy is looking forward to the event’s grand open-

ing, which will take place on Tuesday, Jan. 22 from 6 to 8 p.m. at Rod Library. The exhibit will close one month later on Feb. 22.

The Humanize My Hoodie campaign also partnered with UNI to make purple and gold hoodies promoting the event.

Andre Wright and Jason Sole will be there to present at 6 p.m. during the opening ceremony for 30 minutes.

Their presentations will be followed by a walkthrough and a question-and-answer ses-

sion. Refreshments will also be served.

A second part of the exhibit will feature “UNDRESSING: The Culture of Humanizing.”

“Humanize My Hoodie is a component to that,” Levy said. “It’s a fashion show that addresses rape culture by Annette Lynch, a professor of textiles and apparel. It’s a mesh between communities, and it’s meant to incorporate curriculum development with the faculty. There are several students who focus on social

justice through fashion, and this event is meant to make it into a conversation.”

Levy hopes that the event is able to humanize others and help people see black men in hoodies as something other than a threat. She believes that the overall goal is to have attendees understand the implicit biases they may have, and in doing so, make classrooms more inclusive to all cultures.

She thinks that the event also applies to the hiring pro-

cess and how people interact in general. Sometimes a person’s actions can be disadvantageous to another and it can be necessary to adjust one’s “lenses” in order to see the bigger picture.

“The event is a great way to get students, faculty and staff involved,” Levy said. “It’s a tough conversation to have, but hopefully it will remove barriers that have been there before. We’re thankful that we could work with Andre and Jason and expand our program off of that collaboration.”

an allergy-safe place of production. Students can also find donuts that fit a variety of dietary needs, such as veganism.

Other services Icon provides includes large donut cakes, catering and special-order donuts. The Waterloo location was open during the holiday season to provide holiday

special order services. There will be an online ordering system coming in the future. In the meantime, customers can come in and make special orders at any location.

“It’s been very well-received,” Dehmlow said. “We didn’t have to do too much promotion right away… We didn’t want to get too ahead of

ourselves. We kind of wanted to ease into it with school coming back.”

One logistic hurdle Dehmlow said they wanted to make sure they got right was transporting donuts from the Waterloo store to the Cedar Falls one. Another is keeping their hours somewhat limited, since Icon is such a new busi-

ness. Their current hours are 6 a.m. to 7 p.m., but they hope to extend their hours when it gets warmer and they have a larger staff. They are currently hiring for all positions at both locations.

“We’re excited to finally be open,” Dehmlow said, encouraging students to come in and explore what they have to offer.

Taylor leads swimming in wins PATRICK HANSEN

Sports Writer

The UNI women’s swimming and diving team hosted Loras College and Iowa Central Community College on Friday, Jan. 11 for the first meet of the new year.

The Panthers came out strong, as they took the top three spots in seven of the swimming events.

On the diving side, the Panthers took the top three spots on the three-meter board, with Alyssa Deuso taking first with a score of 250.42, Mary Kate Ferlmann recorded a score of 220.94 and Jayden Lovell rounded out the Panthers in third place with a score of 216.08.

The following day, UNI traveled to Ames to take on in-state rival, Iowa State.

Sophomore Katie Taylor led the way for the Panthers, as she placed first in three events including the 100 backstroke (54.72), 200 backstroke (1:59.84) and 200 individual medley (2:04.48).

Other Panthers who captured first place finishes included Moriah Ross in the 100 breaststroke (1:04.96) and the 200 breaststroke (2:19.78) and Crystal Florman in the 1000 freestyle (10:25.28) and 100 butterfly (56.56).

The Panthers would also go on to receive second-place in the 400 freestyle relay, 200 medley relay, 50 freestyle and the 200 butterfly, while also scoring third-place in the 500 freestyle and 200 individual medley.

other than from the free throw line.

However, there was ample opportunity to toss There was a total of 13

missed shots as well as four turnovers in that time span.

However, when the time came to make a big play, the UNI men were able to take advantage by using their strong defense.

In the final seconds of the contest, not one, but two defensive stops were made by the Panthers.

Drake was able to attempt a layup, which would have gained the Bulldogs the lead, and a three-pointer, which would have sent the game into overtime.

In clutch fashion, the UNI men were able to make

stops on both occasions, resulting in free throws as well as time running off the clock in order to secure the win.

Leading the way in scoring for the Panthers was senior guard Wyatt Lohaus with 14, followed by the Cedar Falls freshman, A.J. Green with 11. Luke McDonnell also added 10 points, six rebounds and two late game steals in the winning effort.

Up next, the Panthers will take on the Sycamores of Indiana State in the McLeod Center at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 16.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

Game in McLeod? Mark it in the W column JERRIUS CAMPBELL Sports Writer

The UNI Women’s basketball team cruised past Valparaiso University as well as University of Loyola Chicago to continue their undefeated run in the McLeod Center.

It was a close battle at the end of the first quarter as the Vals led 23-20 on Friday.

Following the first quarter, the Panthers stepped up and made a major effort on defense. The purple and gold held the Crusaders to a total of 13 between the second and third quarters.

Although Valparaiso made the first bucket in the third quarter, the Panthers caught a rhythm on offense in the third quarter with 21 unanswered points, propelling them to victory.

Senior Mikaela Morgan would finish the night with 15 points and was 6-12 from the field. She also added four rebounds by the end of the night.

Sophomore guard Karli Rucker had a good game on the offensive side of the ball, with 14 points, four rebounds and four assists.

Shooting in the second

half also gave the Panthers a boost. Field goal percentage for the Panthers increased from 34 percent in the first half to 53 percent in the second half of play.

Turnovers were also a large factor in UNI’s win, as the Panthers were able to force a total of 22.

On Sunday, Rucker scored big in the Panthers most recent win at home versus Loyola, netting 23 points for the UNI women. Rucker was nine for 16 from the field.

The Panthers started strong, leading Loyola

22-12 after one quarter.

The Ramblers attempted to cut the deficit down in the second quarter, coming back and making the score 32-26 with the Panthers leading into half time.

The Ramblers could not stop the purple and gold in the second half, allowing the Panthers to go on a 9-0 run in the third to extend the lead into the fourth quarter.

Following the push by UNI, Loyola fought back with a run of their own, going on an 8-1 run. If any thoughts of a come back sprouted, it was imme-

diately thwarted due to a three-pointer by Ellie Howell.

Howell went on to finish the game with 11 points and four rebounds. Morgan finished the game 5-5 from the field, with one three pointer and two free throws resulting in a total of 13 points.

While Morgan may be most well known for her defense, the excellent play by the shooting guard will surely help down the stretch.

Up next, the Panthers will take on the Bulldogs of Drake University at 7 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 18.
