Cedar Falls looks to restrict rentals

Part one in a continuing story of rental properties AMBER ROUSE

Executive Editor

CASSIDY NOBLE/Northern Iowan

Construction workers try to quickly and efficiently finish the Baker reconstruction area by mid October, three months ahead of schedule.

CASSIDY NOBLE Staff Writer

The demolition of Baker Hall and the remodel of Bartlett Hall have affected both students and faculty for the past four years. This project is slated to be finished in October of 2014. That’s almost three months early.

“The contract of the original schedule was to complete everything by December

2014—that would be all the work on Bartlett and the demolition and reconstruction in Baker,” said Morris Mikkelsen, associate vice president of Facilities Planning. “We are on target to complete it in the middle of October.”

Currently, construction has reached the final stages of the rebuilding—extending Campus Street to include a cul-de-sac as well as building

the closest handicap and regular parking lots to campus.

The remodel and demolition of both buildings cost $21 million, which was approved by both the Board of Regents and the Iowa Legislature in 2010. Funds for the project were raised entirely through tax money, instead of using student service fee funds.

See BAKER, page 2

In February 2014, the City of Cedar Falls requested a consortium to work together on a task force. This task force was designed to confront an abundance of rental problems in Cedar Falls.

Recently, Cedar Falls Planning and Zoning passed an ordinance that prohibits the conversion of singlefamily homes to duplexes in the R-1 and R-2 districts.

These districts stretch from University Avenue to Main Street, a popular area for landlords to rent out properties to University of Northern Iowa students.

Cedar Falls Mayor Jon Crews opened the first task force meeting in late January 2014 by discussing ongoing rental issues in Cedar Falls. These issues include the mixing of rental properties with residential neighborhoods and reducing the number of unrelated persons living in

a rental from four to three.

Chairing the task force is Frank Darrah, 5th Ward council member. 18 people sit on the task force, nine of which are city staff members. The other nine include homeowners, landlords, UNI staff, citizens of Cedar Falls and one UNI student.

Victoria Hurst, senior public administration major and director of governmental relations for Northern Iowa Student Government, sits on the task force as the only UNI student.

“I really do care about this,” Hurst said. “I want a solution that would make everyone happy, I don’t want to hurt students, landlords or homeowners.”

Hurst, a Cedar Falls native, said the city placed a six-month moratorium in August to stop rental properties from popping up while the task force works to find a solution.

Student involvement parades Maucker Union Plaza IAN SHILHANEK Staff Writer

Soaking up warmth from the sun, students of the University of Northern Iowan mingled with representatives of some of the college’s student organizations last Wednesday.

UNI is home to over 250 different student organizations. Last Wednesday, 85 of them were on display for the annual student organization

fair.

The Student Involvement Center, which oversees each of the school’s clubs, hosted the fair.

“Students’ involvement helps them make friends as well as enhance their college experience as well as getting experience and get out of their rooms and possibly even work in the community,” Steffoni Schmidt, program coordinator of community service and

Greek life said.

Each group made it their mission to draw the attention of students, new and returning, towards their organizations. Various religious groups from the area handed out refreshments and popsicles to passersby regardless of their interest in the groups themselves, which provided some relief from sweltering heat.

BAKER

continued from page 1

Baker Hall was originally constructed in 1935 for $140,000 and opened in 1936 as a male-only dormitory, according to the July 1935 edition of the UNI Alumni magazine.

By the time of its demolition in March 2014, the building had an immense amount of deferred maintenance, which refers to necessary maintenance that cannot be kept up because there is no money in the budget to do so. Demolishing the building was more economical than renovating it back to code at the estimated cost of $6.5 million.

There was some discussion of replacing Baker Hall with a new building. However, Facilities Planning opted to remodel Bartlett instead considering its historical status on campus.

Once the Bartlett-Baker project is complete, UNI will request funding for

The task force meets every two weeks at City Hall to discuss the problem. At the Aug. 28 meeting, task force member Fred Abraham, homeowner and landlord, said the task force has come a long way since its establishment, but still hasn’t made the progress it should have.

“We’ve made a lot of progress, but we haven’t solved the problem,” Abraham said. “We could be sitting here chewing up time, or the council could be working on other things.”

On the other hand, Darrah says the task force has met its purpose and wonders if the task force needs to continue working. The mission statement of the task force is as follows:

remodeling the Industrial Technology Center, StrayerWood Theatre and potentially the Commons Ballroom.

All three buildings are experiencing deferred maintenance for both electrical and

mechanical issues.

Students feeling frustrated or inconvenienced by the need to walk around the roped off areas can be assured that the project will be completed by the end of this semester.

“To analyze the impact of conversion of single-family homes to rental units and to determine methods of controlling or moderating the negative aspects of singlefamily conversions in R-1 and R-2 zoned neighborhoods,” said the meeting minutes of the Aug. 28 meeting.

The task force is also looking to update existing ordinances, which relate to property upkeep, such as the exterior of rental properties and covering windows with tin foil or bed sheets.

Finding parking spaces have also become an issue around the area.

“I want to see a change in density issues and parking issues,” said Abraham.

While the task force is divided on coming to a consensus and a solution, the

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

An open letter to street harassers Dear Street Harassers, Thank you for reminding me,once again.that I live in a community where women do not have the privilege to feel secure in their own bodies, let alone in their own neighborhoods, especially at 3:45 in the afternoon, even in Cedar Falls.

I want to address an incident that happened while I was walking to campus from my house. While walking in the heat, after a day of work starting at 5a.m., laden with a backpack and large tote full of supplies for completing homework, you found the need to inform me via yelling through your living room window that you could see part of my behind. You decided to inform me several times, increasing your aggression with every shout.

. . . it’s not the first time I’ve witnessed street harassment at UNI. It’s not even the the first time this year.

The first time I heard you didn’t register with me—I couldn’t distinguish what was shouted and didn’t see anyone on the street. I knew a lot of football games were on and figured it was part of the excitement.

The second time annoyed me—I still couldn’t see any-

one, but understood I heard a group of men harassing a woman, who I assumed was probably alone.

The third time shocked me—I realized I was the woman walking alone, being harassed for wearing shorts on a hot day by a group of men I couldn’t even see.

What you didn’t know was I was wearing those shorts because it was hot and I had to wear pants all week for work. I chose my outfit based on comfort for walking to campus.

What you didn’t know was that shorts tend to ride up while walking, especially while wearing a backpack, and you don’t always notice it’s happening.

What you didn’t know was that my first memorable

experience with street harassment was when I was ten years old and also shouted after for wearing shorts on a hot day.

What you didn’t know was that by yelling at me while I was alone, from the comfort of your own home, in the protection of a group, with the security of anonymity, you stripped me of my sense of safety.

Earlier this year a nonprofit group, Stop Street Harassment, found that 65 percent of women surveyed reported experiencing street harassment. That’s two out of every three women.

This incident especially upset me because it’s not the first time I’ve witnessed street harassment at UNI. It’s not even the first time this

year. Before school started, a group of men whistled after a woman wearing headphones while running.

The next week in the Piazza, I heard the all too familiar whistle as booths of first-year male students catcalled their female classmates.

Last weekend I drove by a group of men on the sidewalk on College Street, standing guard for women walking by.

This list continues to grow.

Each of these experiences show a scary pattern of men allowing their male friends to continue harassing women, sometimes even encouraged with laughter or by joining in on the harassment.

To you, street harassers, calling after a woman may seem like a fun joke with your

friends. But to people experiencing that sort of harassment, even once, it’s no laughing matter.

No matter what a woman wears, or whether she’s alone or with other people, or if you know you probably will never see her again, street harassment is not okay. It’s not a compliment. It’s not wanted.

And it doesn’t go without harm.

As a community, we need to consciously make our campus and surrounding areas safe for all members of our community. This includes ending harassment.

We all have the responsibility and ability to stop verbal and physical sexual harassment. Jackson Katz, an antisexist advocate who visited UNI last April, recommends an active bystander approach to promote respect and end gendered harassment and violence.

Call out your friends and classmates for cat-calling.

Let them know you are not comfortable with the whistles or yells, even if they’re not directed towards you.

Listen to those who have been harassed—and tell your story if you’re comfortable with sharing. Harassment doesn’t need to be a problem at UNI, and if we all decide it cannot be tolerated, it won’t continue to be a problem at our school.

-Emily Harsch Graduate student in women’s and gender studies

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

U.S. involvement against ISIS requires allies’ aid The current U.S. involvement in the Middle East has dramatically intensified in recent months. The U.S. dropped it’s 138th air strike early Sunday, Sept 7, against the efforts of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, or ISIS, is an attempt to protect Iraqi’s who asked for U.S. air support and security.

The air strike landed near the Haditha Dam, the secondlargest hydroelectric contributor of power of Iraq. Fear of ISIS using the dam to flood Iraqi villages and control power sparked the air strike.

According to Sajjan Gohel, International Secrity Director for Asia-Pacific Foundation, the fight against ISIS has already attracted a large number of foreign fighters.

While this air strike could prove beneficial to the fight

against ISIS, how far must the U.S. military be immersed in this way of life before we begin to see light at the end of the tunnel (this way of life meaning U.S. involvement in other country’s affairs)?

It’s not that our efforts don’t have good intentions, the issue at hand is how many innocent lives are lost and in danger.

The recent publicized decapitation of not one, but two reporters as well as prisoners of ISIS shows their gruesome and hateful crimes will not cease without attention.

ISIS has, in it’s possession, dozens of prisoners, from Iraqi natives to reporters from all around the world to refugess and women and children. They have proven they are not afraid to show

America what they are capable of doing to these prisoners.

Obama is to meet with congressional leaders later this week to continue countering ISIS threats, but are we to continue to lose American lives in this seemingly neverending battle?

There are too many forms of terrorism finding its way into everyday life for Middle Easterners, but in order for ISIS to be defeated, there needs to be more involvement of our allies, and other enemies of ISIS. The old Sanskrit proverb “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” rings true today, but the most important thing the U.S. needs to accomplish first and foremost is to protect and save the lives of the innocent who are caught in

This is the second year the farmer’s market on College Hill has been held. Like most markets, the College Hill market includes fresh local produce and handmade goods. There are currently 10 vendors selling items such

as produce, coffee, plants and more.

Most vendors accept cash, credit cards, EBT and checks.

“The farmer’s market has a nice assortment of produce within an easy walking distance of campus,” said Kara Poppe, senior geography environmental systems major and avid consumer at the market.

“I like seeing familiar faces each week and inter-

acting with the farmers who grow the food that I eat, but I would love to see more students visit the market,” Poppe said.

Kamyar Enshayan, founder of the market on College Hill, also expressed that he’d like to see more faculty and staff visit the market.

Jeff Bush, co-owner of Shell Rock Honey, expressed he would like to see more vendors, though only two

spots remain in the 12-vendor lot.

On the fourth Thursday of every month, local artists provide live music to market attendees.

The College Hill farmer’s market will be hosting a College Day on September 11th, allowing students, faculty and staff to take advantage of free samples and recipes that use the ingredients the vendors sell.

PARKER WOLFE/Northern Iowan

Customers shop and inquire about the various products that the vendor has set up for sale on his table. The College Hill farmer’s market takes place every Thursday evenings from 4-6 p.m. during the months of June through October.

Mohair Pear to host indie fair KATHERINE JAMTGAARD Staff Writer

Coming to the Hill September 13th, Mohair Pear is hosting Cedar Fall’s own Indie Craft Fair.

Fair coordinator Rose Sires said, “We started because we wanted… to have some sort of event where we could celebrate the local artists that are around here as well as have some of the stuff in the store and bring more of that handmade DIY culture here.”

15 vendors will be selling items ranging from jewelry and accessories to prints and soaps. Sidecar Coffee will provide coffee and snacks, Here’s What’s Poppin’ will provide popcorn and Octopus will host a live band, Love Songs for Lonely Monsters, in addition to hosting a record swap.

Expected turnout for this year is positive.

“This year we expect even more g rowth… because we’ve gotten more attractions,” Anthony Ryckman, a Mohair Pear store manager said.

“Every year we get more and more followers, more and more people who stop in asking about it from the years before.

People from out of town will even come in town for it,” Sires said.

“Sometimes you can do all the stuff you want to do to promote the event but if the weather’s not good, can’t really do much about that, but the weather’s been great in past years,” Ryckman said.

Looking ahead, Sires said she hopes the fair will continue to grow and add more attractions, such as local food trucks for those who attend.

Ryckman’s favorite part of the fair is the vibe and being able to play records during the fair to create that feel-good atmosphere.

With the handmade and do it yourself nature of the vendors, Sires likes to speak with the vendors.

“They’re all unique and individual since they’re handmade they’re all one of a kind, basically,” Sires said.

All the vendors are local and regional vendors from the Midwest.

“I think we just wanted to look at all the people who make handmade cool stuff around the area and we wanted to showcase their stuff and give them a platform to possibly have their things for sale in our store. I think it just goes hand in hand, we have a lot of unique cool things, we want to incorporate people who appreciate that and make that kind of thing on their own,” Ryckman said.

This event will be held September 13th from 11a.m. to 5p.m. at the corner of 22nd Street and College Street.

Customers look at the variety of fresh produce, such as corn and potatoes.

UNI loses three straight in Kentucky RILEY UBBEN

Sports Editor

The Panthers traveled to Lexington, Kentucky over the weekend for the Commonwealth Classic to face three opponents in the top-30.

UNI fell in all three matches while winning just three sets.

On Friday, the Panthers faced the 16-ranked Kentucky Wildcats on their home floor. After losing the first set, UNI rallied to win the second 26-24.

Eryca Hingtgen had three kills down the stretch to secure the set win. Hingtgen had nine kills in the match.

The match remained competitive as UNI found themselves down 21-20 entering the final stretch of the third set before Kentucky secured the 25-23 win. The Panthers would fall in the fourth set 25-16.

UNI looked to bounce back Friday afternoon against former Missouri Valley Conference foe

Creighton. The Panthers took a 10-3 lead in the first

set and never looked back as they took it 25-15. UNI had

six different players record a kill in the set.

The Panthers had to rally in the second set as they found themselves down 21-19. Back-to-back kills from Autumn Alitz capped off the UNI run as they took the lead 24-21 and eventually took the set 25-23.

Kinsey Caldwell assisted on 10 points in the set as she racked up 39 assists in the match.

Despite winning the first two sets, the Panthers fell in the next three 25-16, 25-22, 15-5.

It was much of the same on Saturday as UNI took on the 6-ranked Trojans from Southern California.

The Panthers kept every set close as they fell 25-21, 25-22, 27-25.

Hingtgen finished with a team-high 11 kills in the match while Kayla Haneline added eight.

The losses brought the Panthers’ record to 2-4 heading into their home opener against Northern Illinois on Tuesday. The first set will start at 7 p.m. in the McLeod Center.

OPINION

Panthers should continue to travel for games SEAN DENGLER Sports Columnist

This weekend, the University of Northern Iowa Panthers traveled to Honolulu, Hawaii to take on University of Hawaii. This is an intriguing matchup for a few reasons. Not only are the Panthers looking to avenge their loss against the Hawkeyes, but the they’re playing in a unique location.

The farthest the Panthers have traveled to play a FBS opponent in the last five years has been Wisconsin to play the Badgers. This unique situation should happen more often.

One reason the Panthers should play opponents like the Rainbow Warriors is that it creates a buzz for the team. This buzz provides the Panthers with the recognition they need to have to compete for recognition against Iowa State University and the University of Iowa. People are more interested when the Panthers play these unique opponents.

Playing another Football Championship Subdivision school may give the Panthers a better chance at winning, but playing Hawaii raises the Panthers national

profile.

If the Panthers played opponents such as University of Florida, Ohio State University and University of Texas, it would raise the Panthers national profile even further.

Playing these schools is a tough task, but the name recognition that goes along with it is worth it. Iowans will be more interested in Panther Nation if they are playing these types of opponents.

By playing these opponents, the Panthers will also have better success in recruiting. Recruits will come to Northern Iowa because they will play big time FBS schools. Most FBS schools are shown on national television, which can be a recruiting tactic.

This will lead to better recruits coming to UNI. Another reason Northern Iowa should travel to farther locations to play these opponents is financiallybased.. If the Panthers play these greater opponents, there will be a bigger payout for UNI. As a small school it is hard to make ends meet.

By playing these bigger schools, Northern Iowa will generate more revenue.

JACINDA RUGGLES/Northern Iowan Archives

In 2012, the Panthers were paid $450,000 to play the University of Wisconsin in Madison. The following week the Panthers were paid $500,000 to play in Iowa City against the University of Iowa.

With more buzz and recognition on a national scale, the Panthers will be able to pull in a higher amount of advertising revenue.

For the Panthers to con-

tinue to thrive as a program and continue to raise their national recognition, they need to continue playing FBS schools.

It is great for Panther

fans to watch their team play these opponents and to establish more recognition in new places. For the Panthers, traveling is winning.
