Iowans have welcomed home an art favorite.

Jackson Pollock’s Mural, which underwent nearly two years of conservation work, has returned to Iowa. This past weekend, the Sioux City Art Center held an opening for the exhibit.

The display will remain at the art center until April 2015.

“This painting by Jackson Pollock is the most important work of art in Iowa and one of the most significant paint-ings in American art,” said Sean OHarrow, the director of the University of Iowa Mu-seum of Art.

Initially scheduled to start on June 10, the now nine-month display is part of Museum of Art’s sharing project called “Legacies for Iowa.” Museums, art cen-ters, and galleries are pro-

vided pieces from the UI’s 14,000-part collection as part of the program.

The painting was initially removed from the UI Art Mu-seum in June 2008, when the Iowa River flooded much of the Arts Campus.

It was then loaned to Figge Art Museum in Davenport. Then, it was sent to the Des Moines Art Center in 2012.

After preservation efforts from J. Paul Getty Museum and the Getty Conservation Institute of Los Angeles, the

painting was displayed in Los Angeles starting March be-fore being returned to Iowa.

The Los Angeles display garnered 300,000 visits, which made it one of the

Diabetes research will soon have a new champion as experts begin to oc-cupy a new, high-tech space on the Uni-versity of Iowa campus.

Faculty at the UI Carver College of Medicine have begun to occupy the brand-new Pappajohn Biomedical Dis-covery Building’s advanced laborato-ries, and they will hopefully be able to use the top of the line equipment to great effect.

“In order to solve these big prob-

lems like diabetes, and diabetes is a huge problem not only in this country but around the world today, is going to take more than some small group of re-searchers in some small unit over in the Carver College of Medicine,” UI Presi-dent Sally Mason said. “We know that.”

The process of moving into the build-ing and getting it fully operational will be ongoing for the next couple of months, medical school facility manag-er Steve Schlote said.

According to the UI Facilities Man-agement website, construction should be completed by July 31.

It is the newest building on the UI’s Health Science Campus and cost nearly $126 million. It stands 10 stories high.

The building will include a floor ded-icated to diabetes research, high-end MRI equipment, and a café serving Ja-va House coffee.

The Fraternal Order of Eagles, an in-ternational nonprofit organization, pro-vided $25 million in funding towards the diabetes research center.

Much of the equipment it houses is on the cutting edge of medical technol-

El Cactus may lose license

By PAUL OSGERBYpaul-osgerby@uiowa.edu

Margarita Happy Hour might end a little sooner than expected for one local restaurant.

Iowa City Police Chief Sam Har-gadine requested that the Iowa City City Council on Tues-day deny the liquor-li-cense renewal of El Cactus Restaurant, 1921 Keokuk St.

“Typically, we up-hold city recommen-dations,” Councilor Rick Dobyns said. “That is our pattern.”

There are specific thresholds that city officials look at, Dobyns said. Usually, it is a matter of violations, frequently related to un-derage drinking or possession, over a given time.

When a business goes over the threshold by quite a bit, then a clear-cut recommendation is brought be-fore the council, he said.

The councilor said these types of recommendations are not rare, and he suspects there are a couple per year.

Hargadine said in an email to own-ers Ivan Armendariz and Jose Lopez he recommended that the council deny their application for a liquor-li-cense renewal.

The letter stated that two civil law-suits were filed against Armendariz earlier this year, indicating poor financial standing in the business.

Chauncey may be cut back

By TING XUAN TANtingxuan-tan@uiowa.edu

The scheme of the Iowa City Down-town District might not change as drastically as some had thought.

The Chauncey, a high-rise building that will be built at the intersection of Gilbert and College Streets, could be cut from the originally proposed 20 stories to 15 stories.

City Councilor Rick Dobyns said that they have been interested in de-creasing the size of the building for many months.

City Council to discuss urban renewal

The Iowa City City Council will consider the first in a series of decisions to amend the urban-renewal plan at its meeting Tuesday.

The urban-renewal plan, which was established 1969, has been amended 11 times.

Funding will be discussed individually for future construction plans, including the Chauncey, a new downtown hotel on the Hieronymus Corner, and streetscape improvements on North Dubuque Street.

The Chauncey plans have been adjusted to reduce the proposed high-rise’s height from 20 stories to 15 stories. This comes as a move to reduce the building’s shadow cast over the College Green district.

City officials are still waiting to hear if the University of Iowa will make a bid for the property at the intersection of Burlington and Clinton Streets. The site is being considered for a new Museum of Art or a multipurpose high-rise.

Councilors will discuss possible street adjustments for North Dubuque Street in an effort to accom-modate more outdoor café space and tree-planting opportunities.

Council to receive bids for new air system

Bids will be brought before the City Council for a new heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system for City Hall.

The city must review all possible bids and then receive city recommen-dation before deciding the candidate for new air-conditioning unit.

Engineers estimate that project will cost around $255,000.

Funding will be provided by the general-obligations funds.

Council to consider rezonings

The City Council will hear a second consideration for rezoning a Riverfront Crossings property.

The Planning and Zoning Com-mission plans to change the proper-ty of 629 S. Riverside Drive, formerly the location of Hartwig Motors, from commercial use to residential.

Emrico Properties LLC plans to develop a new 96-unit apartment building in the location.

The property was previously the commercial space for Hartwig Mo-tors, which has since been acquired

by the Deery Brothers Dealership.Riverfront Crossings is bordered

roughly by Riverside Drive to the west, Gilbert Street/Van Buren Street on the east, Highway 6 to the south, and Burlington Street to the north.

Councils will also vote on a second consideration for rezoning a North Side Marketplace building.

If passed, the location, 203 S. Linn St., would have taller building height limitations, reduced parking requirements, and be designated as a local landmark.

The first consideration was passed unanimously at the council’s last formal meeting.

Local contractor Michael Hodge has requested the rezoning, and he plans to open a new restaurant in the former location of the Haunted Bookshop.

Last month, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended changing the zoning code by a 5-1 vote, with Phoebe Martin voting against the decision.

City eyes Sycamore property

Iowa City will move to acquire property rights on Sycamore Street.

Plans are in effect to purchase

property on the south city limits in order to reconstruct the street, making access easier to the new Alexander Elementary School.

Improvements will be made to the street and sidewalk as well as the storm-sewer system.

The project is set to begin in the spring of 2015 to finish in late July 2015; it will be financed by general-obligation funding.

Council to mull outdoor commercial use

The council will discuss outdoor commercial use in the Riverfront Crossings District.

A decision will be reached to amend that outdoor service areas are permissible in the zoning code for the district.

The ordinance will provide consistent conditions for com-mercial buildings and also define requirements within 100 feet of residential space.

Appropriate limitations on size, hours of operations, and lighting will be clarified.

Officials believe it is in the public interest for these changes to be made.

Johnson County isn’t out of the waters just yet.

This past weekend, two separate flood warn-ings were issued for the county.

On Sunday, the Na-tional Weather Service issued a flood warning for both Johnson and Washington Counties. The warning will stay in effect until July 20.

As of Sunday at 10 p.m. Sunday, the river at Iowa City was measured at 24.36 feet, according to the Army Corps of Engineers. Flood stage for the river in Iowa City is 22 feet.

Officials expect river to rise to 24.9 feet by this morning, but they

predict the river will fall below the flood stage by July 20. The warning said moderate flooding was occurring.

When floodwaters reach 25 feet, flood-ing starts to occur in Coralville, as well as on the CRANDIC rail line.

The university has kept the 12-foot HES-CO barriers up around Mayflower, as well as the 4-foot barriers along the east and west banks of the Iowa River.

“We are in the midst of the third major flood in six years, and I think that’s a significant sub-ject to keep on the ta-ble,” University of Iowa President Sally Mason said last week at a press availability. “I have to say I continue to be

amazed and pleased by the response of the peo-ple on this campus in regards to the natural disasters we are experi-encing on a more regu-lar basis than any of us would like.”

On July 12, the Na-tional Weather Service in the Quad Cities issued a flash-flood warning for Johnson County and Io-wa City. A tornado warn-ing was also issued.

Approximately 4 inch-es of rain fell on July 12.

Last week, the Coralville Reservoir peaked at 708.2 feet. Two weeks ago, Gov. Terry Branstad issued a proclamation of disaster emergency for Johnson County in response to the initial flooding and severe weather.

With the river being higher this year than it was last year, Ma-son said she is anx-ious to see how the Beckwith Boathouse took on water. The building was built to flood, Mason said.

“For me, the antic-ipation is that all of the projects, all of the flood-mitigation proj-ects that are currently underway should be completed by next sum-mer,” Mason said. “So through a third event, another one, actually it would be the fourth flood in seven years, if we had another one next summer, but we would be far better pre-pared to handle it going forward on a perma-nent basis.”

Man charged with identity theft

Authorities have accused an Illinois man of using false identification to pay for medical bills.

Darnell Wilson, 34, was charged March 1 with identity theft over $1,000.

According to online court docu-ments, Wilson went to the University of Iowa Hospitals and obtained services for a medical reason.

Wilson provided a Social Security number that was not his, as well as a false name, the documents said.

The medical bill was $1,798.44. Identity theft over $1,000 is a

Woman charged with robbery, assault

Authorities have accused a local woman with attacking an ex-coworker.

Laquita Coffee, 22, was charged July 7 with second-degree robbery and assault causing bodily injury or mental illness.

According to online court docu-ments, officers were dispatched for an unknown problem.

The woman told authorities Coffee got out of a vehicle and started asking about money the woman allegedly owed Coffee.

Coffee reportedly told the woman, “Let me see what’s in your purse.” Coffee then allegedly attacked the woman, pulled her hair, and grabbed her purse.

The woman and Coffee were previ-ously employed at the same workplace, the documents said.

Second-degree robbery is a Class-C felony. Assault causing bodily injury or mental illness is a serious misdemeanor.

Woman charged with forgery

Authorities have accused an Iowa woman with cashing a fraudulent check.

Nicole Becker, 28, was charged April 3 with forgery.

According to online court docu-ments, Becker went to Hy-Vee and presented a check, which was later found to be fictitious.

Becker was able to get $842.50 from Hy-Vee.

Authorities tried to set up an ap-pointment to speak to Becker about the check, but Becker did not show up.

Becker was seen on a store video completing the transaction, and she presented her Iowa ID when cashing the fake check, the documents said.

As Tom Harkin, the long-serving Demo-cratic senator for Iowa and a national hero for liberals, has embarked on something like a re-tirement tour as of late (with Harkin stepping down after 30 years in the Senate next Jan-uary), national Demo-cratic figures, including many Democratic pres-idential hopefuls have taken the opportunity to heap praise upon the beloved native son of Cumming, Iowa.

Maryland Gov. Mar-tin O’Malley, a prob-able 2016 contender, speaking at Harkin’s induction into the Iowa Democratic Hall of Fame, opined, “[E]ven more important than his length of service, I believe, is his strength of service. A strength that has always flowed from his belief in the dignity of every indi-vidual and his belief in our own responsibility to advance the common good,”

Vice President Joe Biden, an old friend of Harkin and fellow long-serving senatorial figure, also paid tribute

to Harkin, saying, “As long as I’ve known you, from the time you first came to the House to your Senate days, you’ve been the con-science of the Demo-cratic caucus.”

Most of this fawn-ing praise is much deserved, with Harkin being one of the best friends the left has ever had in the Sen-ate. Harkin introduced and was one of the key figures behind the pas-sage of the Americans with Disabilities Act, the most prominent civil-rights legisla-tion passed since the 1960s, which prohibited discrimination based on disability. Harkin has always been a strong supporter of labor unions, universal health care, reproduc-tive rights for women, Social Security, a high minimum wage, and other causes near and dear to the hearts of many American lefties (me included).

However, this recent Harkin exaltation session has obfuscat-ed one of the darkest parts of the senator’s prolific legacy, his unwavering support for one of the most corrupt and shameful Ameri-can industries: dietary supplements.

In 1994, Harkin, along with Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, co-sponsored the Dietary Supplement Health

and Education Act. On Harkin’s website, the law is described as part of an effort by the two to “improve Americans’ access to safe products that help improve their health.”

It seems, however, that Harkin’s press team is playing very loosely with the term “safe.” Dietary supple-ments such as ephedra and methylhexanamine (OxyElite) have rav-aged consumers, plagu-ing thousands with liver damage, heart problems, hemorrhag-ing, and, in some cases, death. The two dietary supplements, unlike hundreds of other less than scrupulous prod-ucts, were taken off the market only after years of FDA handwringing.

And one of the reasons the FDA can only, in many cases, wring its hands over dangerous dietary supplements is be-cause Harkin has led the successful effort to atrophy the FDA’s power in the matter. The 1994 law man-dated that the dietary supplement providers did not have to provide the FDA with evidence showcasing the safe-ty of their products, because the FDA does not have the authority to test products before they are marketed, pro-viders can make claims about their products effectiveness without

any FDA-approved evidence, and compa-nies do not have to set limits on the amount of nutrients in one serv-ing of supplement.

It’s abundantly clear that dietary supple-ments are grossly under-regulated and are acutely harmful to American consum-ers, both in the money they extract for at best ineffective and at worst destructive products (it is estimated that the industry collects $32 billion in profits every year) and the suffer-ing they’ve heaped on hundreds of thousands of Americans. But why has a liberal lion such as Harkin attached himself to such a gro-tesque industry? Per-haps the answer can be found in Harkin’s campaign contribu-tions; the dietary-sup-plements industry has always been one of Harkin’s largest do-nors (he is the second largest beneficiary of industry funds after, shockingly, Hatch.

Harkin is a hero to the millions of Amer-icans whose lives he’s touched through good, moral, progressive legislation, and that should not be forgotten. However, when it came to a dangerous industry promising a treasure trove of campaign cash, “the conscience of the Democratic caucus” was anything but.

COLUMN

I’m a journalism major who lives and works 15 minutes from Northwest-ern University; you can see why people naturally assume I’m a Wildcat.

Personally, I think that’s a pretty insulting assump-tion, and it takes every-thing I’ve got to restrain myself from knocking those inquiring people up-side their inquiring heads (just kidding). When I correct them and explain that I go to the University of Iowa, the reaction is always the same.

“Ooh, they have such a nice campus.”

Of course, I’m quick to agree because Iowa City re-ally is an attractive town. We definitely take it for granted, especially the conciseness; it takes 10 to 20 minutes to walk across campus.

On the other foot, it takes 30 minutes to walk across half of Michigan State’s campus.

Aside from the conve-nience of easy walking, our quaintly urban para-dise easily captures that rare sensation of being a large university that ends up feeling relatively small. That sensation can thank a lot of things, but the city itself should get a lot of credit.

Really, there are only three things I would change about Iowa City: the bipolar weather, the river’s grotesque color, and the distance some stores such as Walmart are to downtown.

Unfortunately, change is coming, and it’s not for a dollar. You may have noticed that “skyscraper” called Park@201 on the Pedestrian Mall. It is one of the first architectural hints that Iowa City is changing — and not necessarily in a good way.

For whatever reason, officials have decided they want higher-end residential and commercial buildings in the heart of the city. Apparently, that mixes well with hordes of college students who have earned the dubious — albeit dis-putable — title of top party school in the nation.

Good thinking, people in charge.

Therefore, it should surprise nobody that there have been some adjustment issues for both Iowa City natives and the newer, more affluent residents.

We all know the home-less issue, where officials decided a good place to build luxury buildings was in the same place the homeless naturally congregate. Again, that’s some good thinking, right? Totally makes sense.

Now noise is an issue as well. First reported in the Gazette, residents of Park@201 have been complaining about exces-sive noise in the evening. The complaints have been directly related with the Iowa City Drum Circle, whom you may have seen or heard on Tuesday nights.

I think it’s actually a val-id complaint, because the sound of drums is bound to be distracting, especially if you’re trying to get some work done.

But then again, can you imagine how antsy those residents must get on the weekends, especially when school starts again? They’ll be clutching their hair, wringing their hands, and calling the police all at the same time … somehow.

Time will undoubtedly ease some of the problems, but bringing in affluence to Iowa City spells disaster for another, potentially more humorous, reason.

As nice and friendly as our community is, you can’t help but admit there’s an undertone of pretentious-ness. We’re tired of the “nothing but cornfields” joke not-so-cleverly cracked by visitors (or people who have never visited), plus we’re immensely proud of our literary and general artistic history.

I myself brag about it all the time, to the detriment of my non-Iowa social life.

As we all know, art is not exactly a financial stable industry. But we take pride in that, too, and Iowa City is fairly friendly for those of us who are a little tight in the money area.

Once more and more high-end buildings and residents start coming in, we might start getting those dreaded snobs who take pride in both art and money. I mean, these are people who would actually live in a building that has “@” in the name.

Iowans may eventually see the construction of a 1,100-mile-long underground pipeline, cutting di-agonally across the heart of the state and allow-

ing the transport of fuel resources between North Dakota and Illinois. The big keyword here is “may,” and while the idea, proposed by Energy Transfer Partners LP, still must go through a few approval steps — informing those along the path and persuad-ing the Iowa Utilities Board to give the green light, to name a few — there’s still time to discuss the pros and cons of the venture.

For the time being, considering how massive an oil producer North Dakota has become, the Editorial Board views the proposed pipeline as a beneficial move for Iowa and the nation as a whole as it works toward energy independence, but Energy Transfer Partners and the state must work together to ensure that it is constructed and serviced with the utmost care and consideration for Iowa’s people and natural resources.

A little digging produces a long list of cases in which pipeline malfunctions have produced cata-strophic results for people and the environment. One recent major case in the United States occurred in 2010 in the San Francisco area, in which a pipe 30 inches in diameter — the same size proposed for the Iowa project — carrying natural gas exploded, caus-ing numerous deaths and injuries and destroying at least 38 homes. Shoddy workmanship received part of the blame, and while natural gas is different from crude oil, news outlets, almost without fail, mention that the proposed line would carry a “highly volatile” type of crude.

A much more recent incident relating to oil pro-duction, publicized less than a week ago in North Dakota, involved the spillage of drilling salt water on an American Indian reservation, and as the full report on ABCNews.com notes, the salt water was extremely more corrosive than seawater, and the rupture was estimated to have started around July 4. Again, it’s not a case of “highly volatile” oil leading to destruction, and it’s not the company in question for the Iowa project, but such a recent case — com-ing from the state the proposed pipe would originate — should raise concern over the safety of such pros-pects so close to home.

Also, it should go without saying, it’s worth men-

tioning that the health of Iowa’s environment is es-pecially important to the state’s well-being — even in sparsely populated places. While the finished pipeline would only require a 50-foot-wide, fenced-off easement, spread out over the length of 1,100 miles, such a space requirement would roughly equate to over 6,500 acres of lost farmland — a little over a million bushels of corn or approximately 3 million gallons of ethanol, according to numbers from the Iowa Corn and Illinois Corn organizations, respec-tively. Of course, such an endeavor would require more than just rural land.

Whether the lost farmland would be properly com-pensated relies heavily on whether Energy Transfer Partners properly pays for the land and whether the project employs enough Iowa workers. It also de-pends on how you value the growing of crops against the availability of domestically produced oil. Re-gardless, a malfunction in an underground pipeline would prove a horrible, damaging mess.

The suggested route for the line runs near such communities as Ames and Oskaloosa, so — to repeat the point — safety needs to be beyond paramount. Perhaps the pipeline could take detours around ar-eas with at least mildly high populations. In the case of the ruptured brine pipeline in North Dakota, re-sponse time was painfully slow because of the lack of a system to send warnings in the case of an issue. While this different case doesn’t reflect how Energy Transfer Partners operates as a company, it’s the small, seemingly careless blunders such as this that lead to issues, something no state should be forced to handle.

The negative vibe of this editorial expresses the Editorial Board’s thoughts on the matter. As the United States works its way toward greater indepen-dence from foreign energy, and hopefully continues to work towards greener, renewable energy solutions, the pipeline from North Dakota is a necessary evil, one that should be cautiously welcomed and heavily scrutinized throughout the entirety of its existence.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR/ONLINE COMMENTSRe: City has some options for housing

There is quite a bit of confusion in town about affordable housing. I think those making the decisions are the most confused. Another huge area of confusion is on

accessible housing. So when you talk about affordable, accessible housing, not only is there mass confusion beyond imagination with mass misinformation spewed out by policymakers, but with realtors, builders, and landlords.

Re: UI takes aim at Iowans

It’s about time! When I was in high school (a decade ago), the UI recruiter NEVER came my junior year. However, the recruiters from Kirkwood and the small

colleges (Coe, BV, Central) were there almost every other week. Of my graduating class of 125, only around five of us went to Iowa. More students from my class went to the small schools rather than to the public institutions.

“[It’s] state of the art not only in terms of the science that will go on in there, but for us it’s significant because all of the science that will go on in this facil-ity will be interdisciplinary in nature,” Mason said.

For instance, the labo-ratories will be the home of one of the world’s most sophisticated magnetic r e s o n a n c e imaging in-s t ruments. The 42-ton behemoth is one of only 40 such devices in the world.

Research-ers intend to use its ca-pability to yield clear, high-resolution images of the brain to enrich their

understanding of the brain’s various processes. The scanner cost about $8 million, which the univer-

sity acquired by winning a grant from the National Institute of Health.

It’s not just about the

equipment, though.With that in mind uni-

versity officials hired Professor Dale Abel from

the University of Utah, a world-class researcher in diabetes, to head the diabe-tes research center.

He is in the process of recruiting young medical scientists with various specialties from presti-

gious insti-tutions such as Harvard, said Joseph B r e n n a n , the UI vice p r e s i d e n t for Strategic C o m m u n i -

cation.They will investigate the

link between diabetes and other ailments, such as hy-

pertension and cancer, in order to better understand them. One of the research-ers, Chris Adams, was an undergraduate biology student of Mason’s at the University of Kansas many years ago.

For researchers, as well as those benefitting from the fruits of their labor the long construction process has been well worth the wait.

“It’s going to bring us into the 21st century in terms of lab space,” Schlote said.

lic till now because we wanted to have private discussions with the de-veloper over this issue,” he said.

If this significant re-duction in size passes, he said, there probably will not be another change in the number of floors.

In 2012, city officials asked developers to send

in proposals to develop the area. Moen Group won the bid with a pro-posal of a 20-story build-ing with a 12-lane bowling al-ley, two the-aters for Fi lmScene, class-A of-fice space, hotel rooms, and residential units.

The Iowa City City Council will decide whether the building

will have 15 floors in its meeting on Tuesday.

Some concerned citi-zens, such as members

of the Coalition Against the Shadow, worried the building would block sun-light from the nearby Col-

lege Green Park. In regard to the shade problem, the developers have done sun and shade studies.

“In the summer, there is very little shade on the park from the Chauncey,” Marc Moen, lead devel-

oper, wrote in an email.Moen said the mass of

the building will be the first four levels and the

towers above that will sit back from the base.

The City Council has gone through with this de-v e l o p m e n t

is because the councilors hope to make good use of the property and increase its taxable value.

When the project is completed, the city will have fulfilled its prom-ise to the under-21 crowd.

“Also, when we passed the 21-ordinance, we said that we would look for activities and ameni-ties for the students for downtown that are not just alcohol-related, and I think that the theater space and the bowling alley will both do that,” said City Councilor Su-san Mims.

In total, the displays have brought in re-cord-breaking attendance

numbers for the painting.Peggy Guggenheim,

who was a modern-art dealer in New York during the 1940s, donated the painting to the university. Mural is valued at more than $150 million.

However, Iowa may not be the last stop for Mu-

ral, as well as other Pol-lock works.

This past February, officials announced that an international tour is currently in the works for the painting.

Officials said they were in the midst of planning stages to take the 1943

painting on an interna-tional tour with other Pol-lock works. After the tour, the collection will then return to Iowa City once a new space is built for the university’s 14,000-piece art collection.

However, before it starts to travel again, the paint-

ing will be part of one large event.

Al Harris-Fernandez, the Sioux City Art Center director, said Mural will be the center’s headliner for the 100th anniversa-ry. Harris-Fernandez said he expects many people from northwestern Iowa,

as well as he bordering states, to visit the exhibit.

“[Pollock’s] most signifi-cant painting is now back in Iowa for all to see, and I can think of no a better place to hang it than the Sioux City Art Center during its centenary cele-bration,” O’Harrow said.

With high expectations for the upcoming 2014-15 Iowa women’s basketball season, the team looks to incoming freshman Chase Coley to step up and make her mark for the Hawkeyes this season.

And Coley is preparing by competing with and against her Hawkeye teammates.

The future Hawkeye shone on July 9, leading Brenden Unkrich’s team to a 93-81 victory. Thus far, Iowa sophomore Ally Disterhoft has led Un-krich’s team, lighting up the court by scoring 30-plus points in all three of her Game Time appear-ances and averaging 38 points per game.

Coley’s opportunities to score may have been somewhat overshadowed by Disterhoft’s, but her numerous contributions on the defensive side of the ball are a key factor to the team’s success thus far.

Disterhofts’ absence last week led to Coley taking control of the ball and helping to drive her team to a 4-0 record, good enough to clinch the No. 1 seed heading into this week’s playoffs.

And this summer was the first opportuni-ty Hawkeye fans had to catch a glimpse of what to expect from Coley in the upcoming season.

“It’s fun playing against my teammates because I can tell they are making me better,” Coley said. “It’s a different setting than practice, which is why I really enjoy playing against them here.”

Coley’s performance was brilliant, and she scored 25 of her 40 points in the first half.

At times, she seemed impossible to stop. Driv-ing to the basket with steady ball handling and quick agility, she excelled in planting in the post and pulling up seamless-ly for jump shots.

Iowa senior Sam Logic challenged Coley the en-tire night, attempting to stop Chase and end her team’s perfect record.

“I love playing against teammates, getting in her face, getting people shots and getting people to score, putting her in positions to successful,” Logic said.

Coley’s Game Time teammate Moran Lon-

ning added 22 points to Coley’s 40 points.

“Chase definitely stepped it up; we all had to step up,” Lonning said. “I thought we just played good, solid team basket-ball.”

This season, the Iowa women’s basketball team is determined to earn respect on the national level. Numerous appear-ances in the NCAA Tour-nament have given the Hawkeyes the potential to reach the team’s over-all goal.

With four seasons ahead of her, Coley demonstrates tremen-dous promise to become one of Iowa’s top scorers.

With the regular sea-son over, she has set her sights on the postseason.

“The team chemistry is starting to get better, and we are learning our team’s strengths and weaknesses, which is making us better,” she said. “No one is going to beat us.”

To fans familiar with Peter Jok, one thing is abundantly clear — the man can shoot. In last season’s devastating season-ending loss to Tennessee, Jok was the Hawkeyes’ lone perim-eter threat, shooting 67 percent from the 3-point range and 80 percent from the field.

After four games of Prime Time basketball, Jok’s long-range marks-manship has proven to be even better than ad-vertised, making him perhaps Prime Time’s most prolific distance shooter.

“When he’s on, he has just a picture per-fect jump shot,” Prime Time coach Ray Swetal-la [standing in for Kev-in Lehman] said of Jok. “That’s what he’s capable of doing.”

Since his time at West Des Moines Valley High, the name Peter Jok has been synonymous with

shooting. However, in the first half of his Ju-ly 10 matchup with Ron Nove’s team, the Iowa wing gave a packed gym-nasium a glimpse of an-other dimension of his game.

“I’m more excited about what he did to start to the game, which was defending and re-bounding,” Swetalla said. “We were so small it really challenged him to get on the glass early for us, and he did that.”

With a double-digit lead at the half, Leh-man’s players used the intermission to grab a drink or catch their breath with the excep-tion of Jok. While most of the team waited for the second-half buzzer to sound, the deadeye shooter launched 3 after 3, clearly anxious to ex-tend his squad’s advan-tage.

Though this break in play ended minutes lat-er, Jok’s shooting exhi-bition had just begun. Five opposing players took the court when play

resumed, but after a few minutes, it was clear that Jok still had it all to himself. By the 15-min-ute mark of the second half, the Iowa sophomore had nailed five-consecu-tive 3s, each punctuated by the excited cheers of the crowd.

For many on hand, the sweet shooting soph-omore’s scoring was awe-inspiring. For Iowa teammate Okey Ukah, courtside for Jok’s per-formance, it was busi-ness as usual.

“It’s not surprising,” Ukah said. “I mean, he does it every day. He’s a great shooter. He’s been putting in a lot of work in the summer.”

Jok has long possessed the size and shooting ability for his position, a combination that made him the state’s top re-cruit entering college. However, in the grind of the Big Ten, his lack of physical strength limited his ability to be a consis-tent contributor.

“When you come in as a freshman, you don’t

realize how strong you have to be until you have to play against those Big Ten players,” Swetalla said. “Usually between that freshman and soph-omore year, I’ve seen how much that added strength and good weight adds to their game.”

After months spent de-

veloping his 6-6 frame, he finally looks the part. No longer the skinny kid who could be pushed around in conference play, Jok finally has the physique to complement his considerable skill.

“I feel like I improved by just being in the weight room a lot, work-

ing my body,” he said. “Having my lower body be stronger now helps me jump higher, so it makes it easier for me to shoot.”

love playing with them. I feel way more comfort-able out there with the ball in my hands, just trying to make things happen.”

Uthoff didn’t shoot as well from the outside as Hawkeye fans saw him capable of last sea-son, but he was able to find buckets shooting 50 percent on 2-pointers because of a more devel-oped game this summer.

“I’m feeling stronger,” Uthoff said. “And I’m incorporating stuff that I’ve worked on in the past in practice and want to do in games, like the Dirk [Nowitzki] shot and the step-back.”

Despite Uthoff ’s stel-lar performance, Ahrens’ squad was upset for the

first time this year by the likely other top two MVP candidates; Wood-bury and Northern Iowa scoring guru Matt Bo-hannon.

Despite only scoring 12 points in the 98-76 up-set, Bohannon finished the regular season as the league’s leading scorer.

With Hawkeye guard Anthony Clemmons missing time, Bohannon assumed a significant scoring role from the pe-rimeter, and scored 28 points per game, includ-ing 33, 40, and 29 point games before Clemmons

returned in full force. Bo-hannon shot 46 percent overall, 42 percent from 3-point land, as well as 82 percent at the free-throw line.

“I think I played pret-ty well in Prime Time,” Bohannon said. “I think I showed I’m not just a shooter, but I can do a little off the floor and get to the line as well. I had an opportunity to make some plays, so that’s what I tried to do.”

Larson’s team’s big win was fueled by Wood-bury, who has looked like the most dominate big

man this summer. His 22 points, 17 rebounds, and 4 assists were crucial in the upset and remained on par with his season averages.

Second behind on-ly Bohannon, Wood-bury scored 24 points per game on 60 percent shooting and was second behind only Uthoff with 12 rebounds per game. Woodbury has looked stronger and more con-fident operating in the post, and his numbers have reflected that.

“I’ve put on some weight and gotten stron-ger in my upper and lower body,” he said. “I’ve worked a lot on my stroke from midrange and at the free-throw line, so my game is get-ting better every day. I’ve just played my game, and the MVP would be nice, but I want to win the championship.”

When Dan Ahrens’ team met Randy Lar-son’s last week in Water-loo, it was about as glam-orous and star-studded of a matchup as there could be in the Prime Time League.

With several of the league’s top performers on the same court, the clash of Prime Time pow-ers could be a case study for whom might win this summer’s MVP award.

Entering the final

week of the regular sea-son, Ahrens’ team was in first place at 3-0, thanks largely to having three of Prime Time’s most dangerous wing scorers. Northern Iowa’s Jeremy Morgan and State Fair’s Dondre Alexander both hover around 20 points per game, which makes it all the more impres-sive that Jarrod Uthoff has consistently been the best player on the floor for his team.

Uthoff finished his regular season strong, pouring in 25 points, many of which came in

near the hoop against Hawkeye center Adam Woodbury. Uthoff also posted regular season highs with 6 assists and an incredible 19 rebounds, this season’s single-game record high.

The 6-8 swingman’s big night caps off a reg-ular season in which he was the third leading scorer with 23 points per game, the leading re-bounder at 14 per game, and his team’s assist leader with 4 per game.

“The key this summer was having great team-mates,” Uthoff said. “I

SILVIS, Illinois — A feel-good story hap-pened over the weekend at TPC Deere Run. Playing roughly an hour from his home-town of Peosta, Steven Ihm made his pro-fessional début.

It wasn’t just good for the former Hawk-eye, it was good for his family, good for his friends, good for the John Deere Classic, and good for the beginning of his career. At the age of 22, Ihm drew a following similar in size to past Deere champions such as Steve Stricker, Zach Johnson, and Jordan Spieth.

He didn’t disappoint his followers, fin-ishing the tournament with a score of 274 (10-under). Not too shabby for a first-timer. However, it almost failed to happen.

“If you would’ve told me standing on the 18th tee on [July 11] that I was going to be

10-under by the end of the tournament, I would’ve said, ‘Holy cow, you’ve got to be kidding me; I’m 2 over right now,’ ” Ihm said.

He was referring to his lackluster first round, in which he bogeyed five holes. Barely keeping his chances of making the cut afloat the next day, Ihm clawed his way through the back nine, which he played first. He made two birdies, including a re-markable showing on No. 18.

That hole was the first of four he birdied consecutively, and he added two more to guarantee his spot in the weekend.

While his short game was streaky at times, he consistently drove well off the tee, aver-aging roughly 5 yards shorter than the PGA Tour average of 296 yards. His longest drive of the week was a 333-yard strike during his second round.

He then worked his way to two rounds of 68 on July 12 and Sunday to finish the event.

Ihm walked away tied for 27th place and roughly a $30,000 payday.

“His pro début, to make the cut and cash a check here on Sunday, just a great week for him,” said Ihm’s father, Jim Ihm. “Couldn’t be more thrilled for him — definitely sets the tone going forward”

Ihm’s plan is to appear next in the Wa-terloo Open, which begins Thursday. Lon-ger term, he expects to compete in Monday qualifiers for Web.com tour events and of course, eventually make his way onto the PGA Tour.

“Every good finish, when you beat good
