The University calculated the $72 fee based on the idea that the average student does one load of laundry a week for 32 weeks at $2.25 per cycle, according to an article in an April is- sue of the Index.

All laundry room doors now use the keypad ac- cess system, which changes monthly, so people living off-campus cannot use the machines. Gardner said he thought the change would be advantageous for the students living in the residence halls. “They no longer have to worry about coins or anything else for laundry,” Gardner said. The new system also reduces the amount of work for hall desk workers because they don’t have to hand out so many quarters, he said.

Sophomore Valerie Drewett said she did laundry twice a month last year, but now can do it weekly without worrying about quarters. The only disadvantage she could think of is the laundry room will be busier, but it hasn’t been an issue yet. The University came up with a solution to avoid overcrowded laundry rooms. “We did add a few machines,” Gardner said. “We tried to increase our ratios where we could.” He said most schools that run this system did not see a big increase in use of the machines. BY ASHLEY JOST Staff Reporter Steve Taylor, former owner of Steve’s Garden Deli, sold the deli Sept. 1 to open a storage unit fa- cility. New owners Jay and Angie Fin- dling said that the prices, menu items and the store name are go- ing to stay the same, and are ex- panding catering and occasional lunch specials. “Steve has built a great busi- ness and we don’t want to change that,” Angie said. “We want people to still come in and get what they expect from Steve’s Garden Deli, we’re just going to add some new stuff.” The new menu allows custom- ers to choose. “Traditionally with catering you get to look at a menu and pick out what you want,” she said. “We’re saying you tell us what you want and we’ll make it.” Taylor said store manager Jay Sandner has been mentioning the idea of catering to him for years. “I should’ve done it,” Taylor said. “I should’ve done blue plate specials too.” Last week, the deli had a meatloaf lunch special that Jay Findling said they had sold out of twice before 5 p.m. Sandner, who will remain the store manager, said he looks for- ward to seeing how the catering process is going to work as well as the challenge that comes with changing owners. “I’ve been working with Jay over the last couple of weeks and I think we’re going to get along pretty good,” Sandner said. For Taylor, the hardest part of leaving the deli will be the people. “I just love everybody,” he said. Taylor said that while he might not be right around the corner in Kirksville all of the time, he will be available if the Findlings or Sandner need him. “It had been a great oppor- tunity and I have a lot of other great opportunities coming up,” Taylor said. This fall, Taylor said he plans to open a storage unit on the south side of town with about 300 individual units. He said he also intends to go on the road for a nutraceutical company four days a month. The Findlings said they are excited about the challenge that comes with the “gift” that Angie said they have received in be- coming the new deli owners. “We both spend our weekends cooking for friends, so now we’re going to spend our weekdays at Steve’s Garden Deli doing the same thing,” she said. Monster trucks thunder through Kirksville BY CALLI PRICE Staff Reporter NEMO Fairgrounds event planners an- ticipate a high turnout for Kirksville’s first- ever monster truck rally Sept. 10. The Summer National Monster Trucks and Motorsports Spectacular Show, will include world champion monster trucks Bounty Hunter, Iron Outlaw, Twisted Drag- on, Dragonfly and Desperado, Outlaw Mo- torsports representative Ron Woodbridge said. “There will be mud racing and tuff truck challenges, as well as quad and mo- torcycle racing,” Woodbridge said. “We’re very excited to be coming in, producing and promoting our show. These are some of the finest trucks in the country. They race all over the country and sometimes in Europe.” The response has been overwhelming so far, Woodbridge said. “We expect a large crowd,” he said. “How many — hard to say, since there are many variables like good or bad weather.” Promotional shows, like the upcoming Kirksville event, typically attract a large crowd, Woodbridge said. He said recent promotional shows in Poplar Bluff, Mo., and Mandan, N.D., attracted crowds of more than 3,000. The company is based out of Oak Hills, Ca., and is the second largest producer of monster truck shows in the country, Woodbridge said. Sponsors supporting the event include RFC Rentals and Perfect Metals, who will be providing the cars for monster trucks to crush. Woodbridge said events will include a vertical wheelie contest, racing and a monster truck freestyle competition. Setup will begin Sept. 9, adding to the fairgrounds a mud pit and a dirt track with jumps. Woodbridge said he still is looking for more local mudracers and tuff truck racers to participate in the show, with a cash prize for the winner. Scheduled for the same day is Throw- down 10, a mixed martial arts show at the fairgrounds multipurpose building. Despite competing with another event, Woodbridge said he is positive his show will draw a crowd. “It’s an affordable family event,” Woodbridge said. “It’s motorsports. Kids love monster trucks, and now they can come out and see these trucks perform. We’re happy we can bring this level of a show to Kirksville.” The Kirksville host of the event, the NEMO Fairgrounds, are happy to see the event come to town as well. “It’s going to be a great show,” said Ricki Higgins, NEMO Fairgrounds fa- cility manager. “We hope everyone comes out to support it so we can have more events like this in the future. Nothing like this has been around here before.” Woodbridge said depending on the crowd response, he would like to make it an annual event. “Every year we will change it up and add new features to the show,” Wood- bridge said. “Hopefully it’ll be something that the residents of Kirksville can set their calendar by.” Steve sells his Garden Deli Mariel Sweet/Index New co-owner Jay Findling chats with senior Richelle Van Gennip and junior Emily Briseno on Sept. 1, his first official day as owner of Steve’s Garden Deli.
