PACKAGE #1 : Iowa City Skateboarding
ANCHOR LEDE:
The lawsuit that could result from a skateboarder getting injured on university property isn't the only thing that concerns university officials. Skateboarders are damaging and discoloring ledges, benches and other surfaces because of their sport. The Pentacrest is one spot on campus that sees a lot of skateboarding traffic.
SCRIPT (1:04):
College campuses are known for their picture-esque landscapes and unique architecture. The vast amount of stairs sets and ledges also make campuses a popular destination for skateboarders. However this becomes problematic when some of the tricks the skaters do cause damage to university property. A trick known as a "grind" which is when the skaters uses the bottom part of his board to slide across ledges, rails and other surfaces is particularly notorious for being damaging. Skaters rub candles on these surfaces to make them slick so they can grind easier but this causes the surface to become black and greasy-looking. Also when the skater slides across the surface he chips the marble, stone or whatever material it's made out of.
Scott Gritsch, Manager of Landscape Services here at the University of Iowa, says that his department has made efforts to discourage skating on campus. No-skateboarding-signs and skate stoppers, which are little metal knobs put on ledges and rails to prevent skaters from grinding these surfaces, are just two measures to protect university property. Skateboarders however don't let this impede their will to continue skateboarding.
QUOTE FROM JACOB VANCE (:09):
"There's so much worse things we could be doing than skateboarding that people yelling at us about that is just outrageous. I don't know. Just leave us alone, we're not really hurting anyone."
STAND UP (:37):
Spots such as the skate park here in Iowa City as designated places where skateboarders can skate and avoid being hassled. Even though these spots aren't quite as unique as some of the places on campus, it doesn't damage university of other private property and these places were meant to be skated. Skateboarders will continue to skate so places like this will allow them to do so in a safe way. For Daily Iowan TV, I'm Nick Fetty."
PACKAGE #2 : Iowa City Regina High School Football
ANCHOR LEDE
After the Hawkeyes dismantled the Michigan State Spartans 37-6 over the weekend, Iowa City prepares for another week of football, expect this time around the focus is on high school playoffs.
SCRIPT (1:00):
When people think of football around here, the Iowa Hawkeyes are probably the first thing that come to mind. Even in high school football the defending 4A state champion City High Little Hawks receive most of the spotlight, while Iowa City's smaller Catholic high school goes overlooked. The Regina Regals are currently undefeated and seeking their first 2A state title since moving to 2A in 2008. The Regals won the state championship for 1A in 2005 and have made the play offs every year since.
Part of the success of this program over recent years may be attributed to the coaching staff. Five of the eight coaches have ties to Hawkeye football including Ferentz-era receiver Ed Hinkel and 1986 first round NFL draft pick Mike Haight. Regina Head coach, Marv Cook, was an all-Big Ten tight end for the Hawkeyes in the late eighties and he still holds the all time receiving yard record among tight ends at Iowa. Not only was Cook an outstanding player at Iowa, he is also a well respected coach at Regina.
QUOTE FROM MARK WARD (:16):
"I like how he sits back and he sees what he wants and then he sees what he wants to change about it. And then he doesn't go about it [by screaming] at us that we did something wrong. He gonna tell us and coach us up what to do."

PACKAGE #3 : The Iowa City Yacht Club and the 21-Ordinance
ANCHOR LEDE
More than five months after the 21 Ordinance went into effect, Iowa City's downtown has seen some changes. Even though the police aren't having to deal with as many drunken and disorderly people, the local music scene in Iowa City is suffering. Daily Iowan TV reporter Nick Fetty has the story.
SCRIPT (:18):
When Iowa City voted to retain the 21 Ordinance in November, the future of Iowa City's music scene came into question. Just before the vote took place, the city council decided to make exceptions for places that provide live music, poetry readings or other forms of entertainment but also serve alcohol. The Yacht Club is just one of those places.
QUOTE FROM SCOTT KADING (:20):
"I mean take one of our favorite bands like Euforquestra. They played a show here this summer and there was probably 40 or 50 underage kids that were not at it. And so our sales were the same but they got 400 or 500 less dollars and that's tough for a touring band that doesn't make much."

SCRIPT (:12):
The exception allows for 19 and 20 year olds to be in the bar until midnight. but this doesn't help the Yacht Club much since many of the headliners don't even take the stage until that time.
QUOTE FROM KADING (:09):
"So we're hoping, you know, I'm assuming the house parties will run their course and people will start coming back downtown. We might need some help from the city for some things. That might be true."
SCRIPT (:23):
The Yacht Club rarely has issues with underage drinking or other alcohol related problems and Kading hopes to use his good relationship with local law enforcement so that the city council will allow 19 and 20 year olds to stay until 2 a.m. But regardless of the age of the show-goers, the Yacht Club will continue to provide Iowa City with live music. Nick Fetty, Daily Iowan TV.
LEDE OUT
To combat this problem some bands have started having all ages shows that begin earlier in the night. Euforquestra, a band that got its start in Iowa City, played just such a show last night.
