The purpose of the MCC program is to allow the Iowa Finance Authority to issue qualified Mortgage Credit Certificates (MCCs) to mortgagors (borrowers) to be used in connection with the acquisition of the mortgagor's principal residence.

The qualified Mortgage Credit Certificate entitles the holder to claim a Federal income tax credit based on the omount of mortgage interest paid during the year. The following eligibility requirements opply to the program ana to be eligible to participate in the program mortgagors (borrowers) must meet these requirements and any additional program requi rements adopted by the I A Principal Residence Requirement The property must be located within Iowa and remain within Iowa. The property must be the principal residence of the MCC holder. A principal residence is a residence which, at the time the financing on the residence is executed or assumed, is expected to be personally occupied by the mortgogor (borrower) as his or her home within a reasonable time after the financing is executed or ossumed. A residence which is primarily intended to be used ina trade or business is not a principal residence.

A mobile home or other manufactured housing which meets certain requirements may qualify as a principal residence. Three-Year Requirement To be eligible a mortgagor must not have had an ownership interest in a principal residence during the 3-year period prior to the date on which the new mortgage (or security interest in the case ol certain manufactured housing) is executed. Purchase Price Requirement The purchase price of the principal residence cannot exceed the applicable purchase price ceiling as calculated from average area purchase price limitations. Currently for previously occupied (existing) residences the purchase price limit is 164.385 in non-targeted areas and $78,693 In non targeted areas. For not previously occu- fiied (new) residences the purchase price imit is $117,191 in non targeted areas and $143,233 in targeted areas.

There are higher purchase price limits for Polk, Warren, Dallas, Linn, Scott, Johnson, Pottawattamie, Woodbury, Black Hawk and Dubuque counties. A list of targeted areas is available from the IFA. Purchase price limitations are subject to change from time to time. Income Limitations Mortgagors are eligible for on MCC only if, for families of three or more, gross family income from all sources does not exceed 1 15 (non-targeted areas) or 140 (targeted areas) of the area median income for the area of the county under section 8 of the United States Housing Act of 1937 as amended. For one or two person families, gross family income from all sources may not exceed 100 (non-targeted areas) or 120 (targeted areas) of area median income.

New Mortgage Requirement No refinancing is allowed under this program. A mortgagor is not eligible if he or she had a prior mortgage or other secured obligation with respect to which the certificate is to be issued. Recapture All or a portion of the MCC subsidy may be recaptured upon a disposition of the mortgaged home which occurs within 9 years, if the mortgagor's income has increased substantially during that period and the mortgagor realizes a gain on the sale of the house. Method of issuing MCCs MCCs will be issued on a first come-first served basis for mortgage loans closed not less than ninety (90) days after publication of the public notice. Borrower may make application for an MCC at a participating lender which will then be reviewed by IFA.

"I've been neglecting track a lot because of basketball. I've missed some meets and practice time." Herrig placed fourth in the discus, 1 and eighth in the shot put. "I was happy with the discus.

I had a great series," Herrig said. "In the shot put, I was throwing bad. It just wasn't there." Friend or foe? Zeron Flemister and Doug Miller will be on the Iowa football team next fall, but Friday they were competitors in the finals of the high school boys' 100 meters. Miller of Mount Pleasant edged Flemister of Sioux City West for first place by six-tenths of a second. "He's faster than I thought," Flemister said of Miller.

"I watched him last year, and I didn't think he was that fast." Competitors Alex Gam of Northern Iowa finished eighth in the 400 hurdles as teammate Joey Woody won the event for the second consecutive year. "It's great to run against him," Garn said. "He always works hard and makes people around him work hard." Tough break Indianola's Summer Johnson saw her Drake Relays record in the high school girls' 3,000 meters fall. Johnson, who set the record last year in 10:15.19, finished second to Cedar Falls' Sarah Gray, who finished in 9:55.94. Johnson ran her style of race sort of.

"I always take the lead at first," Johnson said. "I planned on running By GARY LAKE Rkgistkk Stakf W'hitkk Des Moines native Tashika Lewis is glad to be home for the weekend. Lewis, a freshman at Nebraska and former standout track performer at North, is participating in her first Drake Relays as a collegian. "It feels real good to be home," Lewis said. "I don't get home very much.

Just for Christmas and spring break. We have meets about every weekend." Making her first year away from home difficult is her missing her 19-month-old brother, Trey. "I've missed so many of the little things," Lewis said. "I've missed him talking and walking for the first time. He is growing so fast.

When I get home, I just want to spend time with him." Lewis has a full slate today at Drake Stadium with the finals of the long jump and 4 100-meter relay, and the preliminaries of the sprint medley relay. The Nebraska 4 100 unit posted the fourth-fastest time in Friday's preliminaries among the 29 teams with a time of 46.24 seconds. Lewis, a replacement on the team, has made a nice transition to the college track and field scene. "It's been going real well," Lewis said. "I finished ninth in the national (indoor) meet, and made All-Ameri-can status.

I want to be more consistent. My best jump is 20-7. A 21-4 will go to nationals." Lewis' summer plans include training for the junior nationals. Not best sport, but Amy Herrig of Dubuque Senior said track is not her No. 1 sport, but the senior competed in the Drake Relays shot put and discus for the third consecutive year.

A majority of Herrig's spring has been devoted to basketball. She signed with Iowa last fall. All White Outdoor products are covered by the White Customer Care 2-year warranty.

A week before signing with Chicago, the motorcycle Probert was riding collided with a car in a Detroit suburb. Probert was accused of having more than three times the legal limit for alcohol as well as traces of cocaine in his blood. Jets outlook shaky The future of the Winnipeg Jets remained in jeopardy late this week when a group trying to keep the team in the city was unable to gain controlling interest of the franchise. The unsuccessful bid came after the NHL asked for assurances that the team would remain financially healthy for at least 10 years.

Otherwise, the league would have to consider moving the team. John Loewen, chairman of Manitoba Entertainment Complex which is trying to buy the Jets and build an arena for the team, said his group will have to abandon its effort if the conditions set by the league remain.Loewen said he is waiting to hear from NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman. A group of investors in Minneapolis has been trying to raise $75 million to buy the team. Minneapolis been without an NHL team since the North Stars were moved to Dallas before the 1 993-94 season. Devils clinch playoff berth New Jersey clinched its sixth consecutive playoff berth by beating Florida, 3-1, i Friday night at East Rutherford, N.

J. Kevin Stevens and Shawn McEachern scored in the second period and host Pittsburgh beat Boston, 4-1, for its 12th consecutive victory over the Bruins.

Iowa Scene Menace meet Sioux City 'Before the Des Moines Menace even kick off their second soccer season today at at 7:30 p.m.

at Sioux City, one thing is definite. "We're already in the playoffs," Coach Blair Reid said. By virtue of playing host to the Division of the United Systems of Independent Soccer League's regional tournament at the 'end of the season, the Menace are assured a spot in the tournament. The Menace, an amateur team, will play 10 home games at Hoover School. The home opener is May 13 against St.

Louis, one of six professional teams on the Menace schedule. Several players return from the team that had a 7-13 record last season. Among them are Brian Haun, a forward who was rookie of 'the year in the Midwest Division last 'season; Al Driscoll, sweeper and team captain; and Casey Mann, a goalkeeper. Last season, the Menace split two games with Sioux City. Sioux City might be the top team 'in the Central Division this season after signing four players from Creighton's top-ranked college program in 1993, Reid said.

"Sioux City is much improved," Reid said. "On paper, they would probably be the favorite in our division." Sioux City is coached by Brad Smith, who also coaches soccer at Teikyo Westmar in Le Mars. The league, known last season as the U.S. Interregional Soccer League, 'has expanded to include separate for professional, amateur, indoor and women's teams, i The Central Division, which is for amateur teams, also includes Ann Arbor and Grand Rapids from Michigan, Arkansas, Oklahoma City, Wichita, and Austin (Texas).

Auto Racing Pole for Terry Labonte Terry Labonte earned a pole position for the first time in 109 races, leading a speed attack on the Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway oval Friday in the opening round of time trials for Sunday's Winston Select 500. Labonte ran a lap of 196.532 mph in his Chevrolet Monte Carlo as the second of 46 drivers to make qualifying attempts on the 2.66-mile, high-banked track.

Loy Allen who left his ride with Junior Johnson earlier this month, was back driving for the team and took the second spot at 195.977 in a Ford Thunderbird. Only the top 20 qualifiers Friday locked in starting spots, but the 22 fastest drivers all were quicker than the 193.298 posted by Ernie Irvan for last year's Talladega pole. Mark Martin qualified third at 195.728 in a Ford, followed by Bobby Labonte's Chevy at 195.664, the Thunderbird of Daytona 500 pole winner Dale Jarrett at 195.604 and the Monte Carlos of Jeff Gordon and Daytona winner Sterling Martin at 195.512 and 195.202.

Brazier, Tatnell nominated Two former regulars at Knoxville's weekly races have been nominated for driver of the year in Australia. Garry Brazier and Brooke Tatnell were nominated by the Australian National Sprintcar Poll, an awards program of the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame and Museum in Knoxville.

Brazier defended his Australia One sprint-car title and won the Peter Jackson Nationals last season. Tatnell, who raced last season at Knoxville's weekly shows, dominated the Quit Championship series and won the Grand Annual Sprintcar Classic.

You don't have as much left in the middle after that, and I didn't." between the two organizations." Harris was the one who got wet.

His first season back was cut off at the knees after five meets. For an athlete who will turn 30 in September, coming back is almost as hard as beating Moses. "But Moses won the gold when he was 31," Harris said. "And Andre Phillips was 29. 1 really feel I have a few more great seasons to do this." He really thinks he still has a shot at an Olympic gold medal.

Lynn thinks so, too. "The times haven't changed since Danny left," Lynn says. "Only four guys ran under 49 seconds last year. If he gets back in the 47s, he's definitely in the picture." When Harris isn't chasing those 47s, he is living in a one-bedroom apartment in Brentwood he and Nicole Brown Simpson lived along the same alley which isn't exactly slumming it. But he still has no shoe contract, he still commands no hefty appearance guarantee.

He recently parted ways with Bob Kersee, his coach. "We had philosophical differences," Harris said, "and I'll leave it at that. But Bob really got me in shape." Though the perks have vanished, at least Harris is competing again. "Fortunately," he said, "God forgives us." God isn't the only one. Scott Robert Daniel Lynn, Steve Lynn's 7-year-old son, is forgiveness personified.

In his room hangs a poster of Harris. Somewhere in the house, in a drawer perhaps, is a picture of grown-up Danny Harris holding toddler Scott Lynn. "Danny and I made a videotape," Steve Lynn says, "and Scott got it out when he heard Danny was coming and watched the whole thing. He isn't excited about Carl Lewis. He's excited about Danny being back." No more than Danny himself.

"This is my last go-round," he said. "I'm not going to screw it up." HANSEN Continued from Page IS year-old nobody who had come from Perris, to Ames to play football for Jim Criner and run track. At the time, it seemed like the future would be an Olympics highlight, video. But in '88, he tore a hamstring and didn't qualify. He still considers his Olympic trials time of 48 seconds on one leg one of his greatest performances.

He spent the '92 Olympics in physical and psychic purgatory, emotionally unable even to watch a track meet on television. "It was too painful watching Kevin Young's rise to prominence," he said. "I couldn't put myself through it." But now, 11 years after Los Angeles, he is back at the starting blocks, following his own footsteps. Last year, after a two-year suspension, he was cleared to compete. Winning is up to him.

"My first meet in New York went terrible," said Harris, who is almost back to his ideal weight. "I hyperventilated before the race. Emotionally, it was too much. I didn't know how I'd be received. I let it all get to me.

My time was 51 seconds, and it hurt really, really bad. At least I knew one thing. There was nothing to do but get better." As a point of reference, Joey Woody of Northern Iowa won the university-college division 400 hurdles Friday in 49.97. "A few weeks later, though," Lynn says, "he's running a 48.1, the second-fastest time in the world that year. Then he goes to a race In London and just as he's walking onto the track, they tell him he hasn't been cleared.

They said he hadn't done the proper paperwork. He told them the U.S. federation said he didn't need to. They were the ones who banned him. They were the ones who cleared him.
