University of Iowa and Iowa State researchers will lead the project in Iowa and the Midwest, and researchers at Syracuse University will focus on com- munities in the Northeast. Much of the research that has been done regarding the rise in opioid use and deaths has been rooted in quantifying the problem, but Peters and his team intend to look deeper at the reasons behind the epidemic. One possibility they are look- ing into is the idea that the epidemic is driven by economic factors. “Our conceptual approach is that rural America, so in areas that … have experienced this big increase in overdose deaths due to opioids, opioid arrests, and over prescription of opioids — we believe that that’s been caused by eco- nomic restructuring since the 1970’s,” Peters said. “These rural places that used TALON DELANEY/ IOWA STATE DAILY Recycling coordinator Ayodeji Oluwalana at his office in the university’s General Services Building. to have fairly stable mining employment, manufacturing employment, and cultural employment, from the 1970’s to today, those industries have withered.” Changing how Iowa State recycles After the data has been collected, the team will identify resilient communities, who have a lower observed risk than pro- BY TALON.DELANEY sustainable waste management,” Oluwalana waste management.

GUEST COLUMNIST The sounds of the city BY SHAKIRA STOWERS [email protected]

I heard voices while walking down the street yesterday. Some of them were the same ones I’d been hearing; others were of old friends I hadn’t heard since the year before. Am I a crazy person? Perhaps, but what I’m hearing isn’t in my head: it’s all around me! Local birds all have their own individual voices, each with unique chirps, tweets and hollers. It can be easy to get caught up in the noise of everyday life, but it’s not hard to learn a couple basic birdcalls and meet some new friends. When many people think of wild places, they often picture mountains or forests with crisp, flowing rivers and calming land- scapes. Although those places are wonderful, most of us don’t get to experience them every day. However, we do end up outside one way or another, even just walking from a parking lot to a building. Just a few minutes are enough time to listen to a song. Birds enjoy living in all types of habitat, including buildings, lawn grass, ponds and trees. There is definitely some music near you. We just passed through the dead of winter. All the birds have been down south for a while, right? Fortunately, there are plenty of opportunities to make acquaintances with winter residents! Plenty of Canada Geese and Mallard ducks live year-round at retention ponds or local lakes. Some groups of these species migrate, but many have found convenient homes in local small water bodies. Overhead, you might hear an epic scream and see a rusty tail fly by— a Red-tailed Hawk is on the hunt for a tasty snack. Their calls are the ones used over top of many other onscreen birds of KATLYN CAMPBELL/ IOWA STATE DAILY prey, so you can hear them everywhere.

BY NOAH.ROHLFING @iowastatedaily.com

Karl-Anthony Towns and Giannis Antetokounmpo will be duking it out in Hilton Coliseum this October. The Minnesota Timberwolves and Iowa State Cyclones announced on Tuesday that the Timberwolves will play the Milwaukee Bucks in an NBA preseason game on Sunday, Oct. 7 at 7 p.m. in Hilton Coliseum. The Timberwolves beat the Cyclones to the punch on breaking the news, putting out a press release roughly 10 minutes before a press conference with Iowa State Athletic Director Jamie Pollard was scheduled to begin. The presser was a joint conference with Timberwolves execu- tives Ted Johnson and John Thomas and Iowa Wolves President of Business Operations Ryan Grant. In the presser, Pollard said that the work to get the game scheduled began as soon as Grant was installed in his position with the Wolves. Grant used to work in the Iowa State athletics department as a director of media sales and sponsorship sales. “I’m gonna give Ryan a lot of credit,” Pollard said. “I’m really grateful that we were finally able to pull it together. “Maybe we can create a little Hilton Magic for them.” Johnson said that, despite not being with the Cyclones or the Timberwolves at the time, Fred Hoiberg was one of the people pushing for the Wolves to come to Ames. Johnson added that Hoiberg had pushed for the game often while with the Cyclones as well. The game was characterized by Johnson as a “border battle” with the Bucks. “We’ve had a great fanbase in Iowa since the inception of the team in 1989,” Johnson said. “Border battles are something fun.” Grant said that the Wolves have had “tremendous support” from traveling Cyclone fans to the team in Des Moines, and that it was a factor in the preseason game happening. “Ames and Hilton Coliseum have a lot of magic associated with it, and a great basketball history,” Grant said. “It made sense for us to come here.” This will be the third NBA game to be played in Hilton, with the last contest coming in 1999, when Fred Hoiberg and the Chicago Bulls took on the Atlanta Hawks.

on the field on Saturdays. Iowa State showed an ability to be versatile on defense last year, moving from a 4-3 front to a 4-2-5 at times and even roll- ing with just three down linemen in a 3-3-5 defense. The team will still experiment with multiple fronts this year, and a large — literally — reason for that is Lima. His versatility allows the team to contain the run even with just three linemen, but also gives the defense more flexibility in the passing game by using a fifth defensive back.

Linebackers still shuffling Redshirt junior Marcel Spears will take one linebacker spot. Harvey will take another. That leaves one opening, which will be filled by three dif- ferent players. Freshman Mike Rose will get some playing time. So will redshirt junior Bobby McMillen and redshirt freshman O’Rien Vance. Regardless of who’s in the game Saturday, Spears and Harvey will be ready. “Marcel’s a guy in our locker room who just has an infectious personality,” Campbell said. “He was a guy that I think was a spark plug for our football team.” Playing alongside Harvey and Spears should benefit whoever takes the wheel as the third linebacker. Campbell was asked Tuesday about how good Rose is, and EMILY BLOBAUM/ IOWA STATE DAILY he had an interesting response.
