Thursday, April 11, 2019 Iowa State Daily News 03 Author touts ideas to create food system where all win

BY MEGAN.NEMEC @iowastatedaily.com

Author Bob Quinn and co-author Liz Carlisle spoke about creating a food system where everyone wins in regards to their new book, “Grain by Grain: A Quest to Revive Ancient Wheat, Rural Jobs, and Healthy Foods” on Wednesday at Curtiss Hall. Quinn is the founder of Kamut International and has 32 years of experience in exploring alternatives to industrial agriculture and food production in the United States. Carlisle is a lecturer in the school of earth, energy and environmental sciences at Standford University where she teaches courses on food and agriculture, sustainability transition and environmental communication. Quinn was raised on a wheat and cattle ranch in north central Montana and he was raised on thinking wheat was the staff of life.

GUEST COLUMN Near-campus homes worth preserving

BY BARBARA PLEASANTS, LESLIE KAWALER, AND SANDRA MCJIMSEY IOWA VIEW CONTRIBUTERS

This column was first published in the Des Moines Register on March 26, 2019. We write in response to Steve Sherman’s recent guest column [Legislation supports homeowners’ property rights, curbs rental caps.] We have been involved in Ames’ rental cap process from its inception and want to make clear why near-campus neighborhoods, the only ones in Iowa subject to rental caps, are unique and worth fighting to preserve. We question the Legislature’s interference (i.e., Senate File 447 and House File 718) in what has traditionally been a matter for local legislation: allowable property uses in single-family neighborhoods. We have all lived in the South Campus neighborhood for over 30 years. It’s a won- derful place to live, within walking distance to Iowa State, Campustown and university facilities. Homes in this historic neighborhood are 80-100 years old and represent a wide variety of architectural styles.

Former Iowa State star Bridget Carleton was all smiles as she stepped into the Sukup Basketball Complex Wednesday night with fellow senior Meredith Burkhall by her side. It wasn’t difficult to understand why. The Chatham, Ontario, Canada native’s WNBA dream got one step closer to becom- ing a reality as she became the 14th Cyclone in history to be picked in the WNBA Draft. Carleton was selected with the 21st overall pick in the second round by the Connecticut Sun. She is the first Cyclone selected in the WNBA Draft since Nikki Moody was drafted in the third round of the 2015 Draft by the San Antonio Stars (now the Las Vegas Aces). Carleton said she felt it was a great fit. “I’m super excited, Connecticut is a great franchise,” Carleton said. “They’ve been to Iowa State games, so I know them really well. “I’m just really, really looking forward to it.” MIKINNA KERNS/ IOWA STATE DAILY The entire Iowa State women’s basketball Senior Guard Bridget Carleton drives to the hoop during the Iowa State vs Texas Tech women’s basketball game Jan. 29 in Hilton Coliseum.
