Wimmer named mayor of Arispe

By KYLE WILSON

CNA assistant managing editor kwilson@crestonnews.com

ARISPE — Arispe City Council voted unanimously Monday evening to appoint Dennis Wimmer as mayor of Arispe. Wimmer will hold the office through 2015.

Wimmer replaces former Arispe mayor Michael Fry — who was charged with fourthdegree theft in October after allegedly compromising a credit card from Southern Prairie Solid Waste. Fry resigned from his mayoral duties in December.

“They needed somebody,” Wimmer said, “and I have strong ties to the Arispe community so I’m going to get up to speed and do what I can to help the town. Wimmer “I also want to thank Michael Fry for the hard work he put in, and it’s unfortunate he had to resign.”

Arispe City Clerk Randi Cass and Arispe City Councilperson Darcy Johnson said this morning Wimmer is a good selection as mayor because he has great concern for the community, and he is available to the residents of Arispe and available to go the meetings mayors are required to attend.

Arispe City Council now consists of Johnson, Charles Davenport, Sandy Fry and Robin Vogel. There is still one vacancy on the council. Arispe City Council members discussed options to fill that vacancy Monday evening.

“I believe we have that vacancy filled now,” Wimmer said, “but we will wait until next city council meeting to announce that person.”

The next Arispe City Council meeting is scheduled Feb. 10.

Ash trees in distress: Stop the spread

By STEPHANI FINLEY CNA managing editor sfinley@crestonnews.com

Editor’s note: This is the second in a three-part series on the emerald ash borer and how to tell if a tree has been attacked, prevention and treatment to stop or slow the spread of the destructive beetle . hough, one of the more popular species of tree in Iowa, the ash tree has distinct features that sets it apart from others.

As the emerald ash borer (EAB) makes its way across the state, it is important to know if you have an ash tree that may be compromised by the invasive insect.

Emma Hanigan, Iowa Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) district forester, and Mike Kintner, EAB outreach and regulatory coordinator with Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship (IDALS), along with Mark Shour, Iowa State Extension entomologist, talked about the features of the ash tree and prevention of EAB during a public meeting Thursday evening at Supertel Inn and Conference Center.

The emerald ash borer is a small beetle that kills all species of ash trees, including green, white, black and blue.

The federally-regulated insect was found in four Iowa counties along the eastern side of the state before the discovery in Union County near the center of Creston last fall..

T

Ash tree Hanigan identified the ash tree species and its appear-

ance.

“You are probably thinking, ‘Do I have an ash tree?

Does my neighbor whose tree is shading my house, do they have an ash tree? Are there ash trees along my street?’” said Hanigan. “The main identification that I use it wether or not the tree has opposite or alternate branching structure.”

She said the ash tree has opposing branches, where the branches grow directly across from each other. Only a few trees have opposite branching including maple, dogwood and horse chestnut.

“That you can still see in the winter time,” Hanigan said. “Some of the others

you’ll have wait till spring to see.”

Hanigan said ash has five to seven leaflets that grow from one central stem, the petial.

“It’s a compound leaf, so it has all these small leaflets that make up one leaf,” she explained.

She said the seeds of the ash are also distinctive and look like half of the “whirlly-bird” seed of maple trees and there are many hanging in clumps.

“Also, we use bark characteristics in the winter time,” she said. “Ash trees, green ash specifically, have this a lot more, but they have this weaving texture that, to me, looks like a bunch of dia-

monds in a row.”

Hanigan said the ash tree is most often confused with box elder, hickory and walnut trees.

Kintner said when EAB is identified in a specific area, that area is then quarantined.

“As far as quarantine, nothing has become official yet for Union County,” said Kintner.

Kintner said there are white and green ash in Iowa, and the EAB attacks both equally.

Shour said the EAB may

(MCT) — If you have trouble remembering where you parked the car, you might consider making a double shot espresso part of your daily routine.

A new study in the journal Nature Neuroscience suggests that the same amount of caffeine you’d find in a grande latte can enhance longterm memory in humans.

“We report for the first time a specific effect of caffeine on reducing forgetting over 24 hours,” Michael Yassa, a professor of brain science who recently moved his lab from Johns Hopkins University to the University of California-Irvine, said in a statement.

ASH BORER:

Deaths Donnie Johnston Afton

Donnie Johnston, 78, of A f t o n died Jan. 12, 2014, at Afton Care Center.

Graveside services will Johnston be 3:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 16, at Greenlawn Cemetery in Afton. The Rev. Bob Sauser will officiate. Open visitation will be noon to 3 p.m. Thursday with family present 2 to 3 p.m. at Powers Funeral Home, 612 N. Dodge St., Afton. Memorials may be given to Iowa Regular Baptist Camp in Ventura. Online condolences may be left at www.powersfh.com.

Donald “Donnie” Eugene Johnston, son of Velma Darlene (Handley) and William Ronald Johnston, was born Oct. 25, 1935, at a home north of Thayer.

Donnie lived in the Thayer area in his early life, before moving to Creston in 1977.

Donnie worked at Innovative Industries for many years.

Donnie moved to Afton in 1995, where he resided at Community Adult Residential Environment (CARE) for many years.

Donnie was a member of First Baptist Church in Creston.

Donnie is survived by his nieces, Faith (husband Brian) Burkhalter of Creston, Karyn (husband Willie) Tierney of Indianapolis, Ind., and Vivian Schwab of Ankeny; sister-in-law Betty Lou Johnston of Creston, CARE family and numerous cousins.

Donnie was preceded in death by his parents, brother Dean Johnston; aunt and uncle, LeRoy and Arlene Johnston; aunts, Dortha Handley, Pauline Handley and Jean Bruner; uncles, Harold Handley and Leslie Handley; and nephew-in-law Brian Schwab.

Branstad to stress cooperation, hard work in Condition of State DES MOINES (MCT) — Gov. Terry Branstad plans to sound themes of “working together and working hard” when he outlines his legislative agenda and spending proposals to a joint session of the 85th Iowa General Assembly on Tuesday.

“I’m really encouraged about this session,” Branstad told reporters during his weekly news conference on Monday. “I think we can see there’s a developing consensus to deal with a very-focused agenda.”

Branstad said he plans to spell out proposals to reduce student debt, expand job opportunities for returning veterans, offer high-speed Internet connections to every Iowan and combat problems associated with bullying in Iowa schools during his Condition of the State address.

Monday’s opening-day speeches by legislative leaders were laced with optimism about the prospects for bipartisan agreements that build on last year’s successes before hitting the campaign trail for what promises to be a hardnosed 2014 election cycle.

“I want to make the best of it,” Branstad said of the new session of the split-control Legislature, where Democrats hold a 26-24 edge in the Senate and Republicans have a 53-47 majority in the House.

“I’m as encouraged as I’ve ever been,” the governor said.

“Yes, we have a split Legislature but we’ve proven that we can work together and we can accomplish things. This is Iowa, not Washington D.C. We don’t spend all our time attacking and degrading each other. Instead we try to tackle real problems and try to make a difference in the eyes of Iowans.”

Along with charting his policy direction, the governor was slated to outline his spending priorities in the fiscal 2015 budget year. Lawmakers already passed large pieces of next fiscal year’s budget under the state’s biennial budgeting approach last session but a number of major decisions await resolution before lawmakers complete their 2014 work.

go to the green ash first.

“Only because the young green ash have rougher bark and the females can lay their eggs in the rough places,” Shour said. “But if you have green and white in an area, and they’ve got an EAB population, it’s going to attack green or white.”

Kintner said EAB are generally spread through firewood, nursery stock, transport of logs and tree waste.

“It’s mostly by human assistance,” Kintner said.

“Ir’s pretty typical in Iowa, people will throw firewood in their truck and head off

down the road.”

He said a much lesser extent is by the flight of the adult beetle.

“Research indicates up to five miles per year,” said Kintner, “but generally speaking, it’s anywhere from a-half to two miles a year to spread on it’s own.”

Prevention Kintner said quarantine is the way to prevent the spread of EAB. Quarantine regulation is put into place by the United States Department of Agriculture and IDALS. It restricts the movement of regulated material out of a quarantined area into a non-quarantined

area.

“Items that may spread EAB are regulated articles and their movement is restricted by the quarantine,” Kintner said. “So what are the articles we have worry about moving to unquarantined areas? All hardwood firewood; hardwood or bark chips greater than 1-inch in two dimensions; all nursery stock; ... living, dead, cut or fallen material of ash — this includes logs, stumps, roots, branches — composted and uncomposted; ash chips; nonheat-treated ash lumber and any living stage of the emerald ash borer.”

Regulated material can be

moved within a quarantined area, but not from the quarantined area out.

Kintner said the quarantined area will include the county where the EAB has been positively identified and possibly adjoining counties.

“Union County soon will be quarantined and, depending on what they decide it could be expanded from there,” said Kintner. “We prefer you keep the firewood in the same county.”

cup that was a different color, or a chair photographed from a different angle.

While both groups had the same success rate when it came to identifying pictures that were the same and pictures that were different, the volunteers who received the caffeine pills were better at remembering that a picture was similar, but a little different to one they had seen before.

“It is a much more detailed memory,” said Yassa. “If all they remembered was ‘coffee mug,’ they would say the picture was the same. But they were remembering the exact coffee mug they saw.”

Scientists call this type of memory — when we can determine that something is similar but not exactly the same as something we’ve seen or done before — “pattern separation memory.”

It is the type of memory we use at the end of a work day when we remember where we parked our car in the morning, rather than yesterday morning, or the morning before.

To see if more caffeine lead to better memory boosts, the researchers tried the trial again with 300 milligrams of caffeine. The results were about the same as

with the 200 milligram dose, and some of the test subjects reported some uncomfortable side effects from the increased caffeine levels, including nausea and jitters.

Yassa said that there is no magic in taking caffeine five minutes after something that occurs that you need to remember. “Before or between or after or during, it would all work,” he said.

“The only thing I would say is: Don’t drink caffeine to pull an all-nighter. Sleep is really good for memory, but if you are going to drink coffee to stay up, you won’t get the boost from either one.”

The next step for Yassa and his team is to figure out why caffeine helps with pat-

tern separation memory. One potential explanation is that caffeine increases arousal levels, which can be associated with better memory.

“Other scientists have found that when animals are shocked or scared or stimulated in some way they have better memory,” Yassa told the Los Angeles Times.

“We know that with caffeine your heart rate can go up and there is jitteriness, and other symptoms of arousal too. Maybe these moderate doses of caffeine can boost our memory without these other side effects.”

human brain, researchers at Yassa’s lab at Johns Hopkins recruited 60 people who have a relatively low daily caffeine intake. Subjects were asked to look at 200 pictures of everyday objects like a chair, or a coffee mug on a screen and tell the researchers whether the object was an indoor item or outdoor item.

“It didn’t matter what they said; we just wanted them to pay attention to the pictures,” said Yassa.

Five minutes after the volunteers completed the task, half of them were given 200 milligrams of caffeine in the form of two small pills. The other half were given two placebo pills that looked exactly the same. The study was double blind, so neither the subjects nor the researchers knew who got the caffeine pills and who got the placebos.

The next day, the subjects were asked to look at another set of images and identify which pictures they had seen the day before, which pictures were new, and which pictures were similar, but a little different to the ones they had already seen. For example, maybe a coffee

OPINION

The FBI, the NSA and a long-held secret revealed This week, more news emerged about the theft of classified government documents, leaked to the press, that revealed a massive, topsecret surveillance program. No, not news of Edward Snowden and the National Security Agency, but of a group of anti-Vietnam war activists who perpetrated one of the most audacious thefts of government secrets in U.S. history, and who successfully evaded capture, remaining anonymous for more than 40 years. Among them: two professors, a day-care provider and a taxi driver.

Passionately opposed to the U.S. war in Vietnam, this group of seven men and one woman was certain that the FBI, under the direction of J. Edgar Hoover, was spying on citizens and actively suppressing dissent. In order to prove their case, they broke into an FBI field office in the Philadelphia suburb of Media, Pa., on March 8, 1971, and stole all the files inside. What they found, and mailed to the press, exposed COINTELPRO, the FBI’s counterintelligence program, a global, clandestine, unconstitutional practice of surveillance, infiltration and disruption of groups engaged in protest, dissent and social change. Their courageous act of nonviolent burglary shook the

King Features commentary Amy Goodman

FBI, the CIA and other agencies to the core. They triggered congressional investigations, increased oversight and the passage of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. These activist burglars, most of whom have come forward this week, revealing their names for the first time, have not only a remarkable story to tell about the past, but a critical and informed perspective on Snowden, the NSA and government spying today.

“The citizens’ right to dissent is the last line of defense for freedom,” John Raines told me. He was a professor of religion at Temple University when he, his wife, Bonnie, and the others who intended to break into the FBI office formed what they called the “Citizens’ Commission to Investigate the FBI.” Since John and Bonnie Raines had three children under the age of 10 at the time of the burglary, I asked how they decided to engage in an act that could have sent them both to prison for years.

John replied, “We routinely ask, as

a society, mothers and fathers to take on as part of their work highly dangerous activities. We ask that of all policemen. We ask that of everybody that works for the fire department. We ask that of mothers and fathers who are sent overseas to defend our freedoms in the Army and Navy. We routinely ask of people to take on jobs that risk their families.” He went on, “As citizens, we stepped forward and did what we had to do because nobody in Washington would.”

Under the leadership of a physics professor from Haverford College, Bill Davidon, the group met and meticulously planned their action.

John and Bonnie Raines hosted most of the meetings in their attic.

Bonnie posed as a college student writing a paper on career opportunities for women in the FBI, and got an inside look at the Media field office. Keith Forsyth, the cabdriver, took a correspondence course in locksmithing and made his own lock-pick tools to avoid notice of authorities. They chose the night of March 8, 1971, because international attention was gripped by the world heavyweight boxing match between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier. The bout, said Forsyth, “would add to the distraction, not only of the police, but of

just people in general.”

They broke into the office, stole all the files inside and took them to a farmhouse an hour outside of Philadelphia. They pored over the liberated documents, shocked at what they read. One memo detailed an FBI conference on the New Left, predicting that more FBI interrogations of activists would “enhance the paranoia endemic in these circles and will further serve to get the point across there is an FBI agent behind every mailbox.”

That line struck a chord with one of the reporters who received the leaked documents, Betty Medsger of The Washington Post. President Richard Nixon’s attorney general, John Mitchell, tried to get the Post to suppress Medsger’s stories.

“Two editors, from the beginning, realized it was a very important story and pushed it — Ben Bradlee and Ben Bagdikian,” she told me.

The paper published, and history was made. At the time, Medsger did not know the identities of the activists. This week, she published a book, “The Burglary: The Discovery of J. Edgar Hoover’s Secret FBI,” in which she names most of the burglars, with their assent. A documentary film has also been produced, soon to be released, titled “1971.”

In response to the book’s revelations this week, naming the burglars, FBI spokesman Michael Kortan said, “A number of events during that era, including the burglary, contributed to changes in how the FBI identified and addressed domestic security threats, leading to reform of the FBI’s intelligence policies and practices, including the creation of investigative guidelines by the Department of Justice.”

If we were to apply Michael Kortan’s standards to Edward Snowden’s revelations about the NSA, President Barack Obama would drop the charges against him and welcome him back to the U.S., with thanks. Let’s hope Snowden doesn’t have to wait 43 years. *** Denis Moynihan contributed research to this column. *** Amy Goodman is the host of “Democracy Now!,” a daily international TV/radio news hour airing on more than 1,000 stations in North America.

Ringing in the new year took on a new meaning in 2014 as our nation welcomed a new day in affordable, quality health care for all Americans. On Jan. 1, historic provisions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) took effect, ensuring that no American can be denied coverage or charged more due to a preexisting condition, charged higher premiums because of their gender, or denied coverage because of an annual benefit limit.

These new benefits and consumer protections mean that up to 129 million Americans with pre-existing conditions – including 17 million children – no longer have to worry about being denied health coverage or charged higher premiums because of their health status. Millions of uninsured Americans have new health insurance options through Medicaid or private health plans in the Marketplace. Of those Americans, nearly six in 10 could pay less than $100 per month for coverage. And millions of Americans no longer have to worry about having their health insurance cut off once they reach an annual limit on benefits.

These new benefits come in addition to the protections consumers have already enjoyed for the past three years — benefits such as

U.S. Senate Tom Harkin Democrat

free preventive services like mammograms or cancer screenings, and coverage for young adults under age 26 on their parents’ plan.

In Iowa, our state has benefited from the ACA by using funding to expand outreach and enroll families in affordable health insurance options at its 14 community health centers and 94 sites across the state.

In 2012, community health centers provided crucial health services for 181,781 Iowans who would have otherwise found care out of reach.

When you consider where our country was before the ACA, when Medicare recipients had to foot part of the bill for many preventive health services, it becomes clear that these historic patient protections and savings are already making a difference in the lives of millions of Americans. In Iowa, 342,501 people with Medicare received at least one preventive service at no cost to them during the first eleven months of 2013, and new data shows that, nationally, the ACA has saved 7 million se-

niors and people with disabilities a total of $9 billion in out-of-pocket expenses on prescription drugs since the law took effect. In 2013 alone, 35,100 Iowans on Medicare have saved more than $26 million on prescription drugs. These services keep people well, reduce chronic disease, and help bend the cost curve on health spending in our country.

There is no question that challenges in our health care system were decades in the making and will not be solved overnight, but every day more Americans are signing up for insurance and getting the peace of mind of knowing that they can get the care they need. That goal was at the heart of the health reform mission – to improve access to quality, affordable health care. The ACA does just that, helping Iowans gain access to quality health care when they need it the most.

For more information on enrolling in health insurance options under the ACA, visit www.

HealthCare.gov. You can also visit Senator Harkin’s website at http:// harkin.senate.gov/, or follow him on Facebook http://www.facebook. com/tomharkin and Twitter https:// twitter.com/SenatorHarkin.

Joni Ernst hears Obamacare concerns on tour through eastern Iowa

Kenneth and Marjorie Nurnberg

Nurnberg card showers planned

The family of Marjorie and Kenneth Nurnberg is hosting card showers in honor of their 90th birthdays Jan. 28 and Feb. 13, respectively.

WATERLOO | Republican U.S. Senate candidate Joni Ernst is making her way across Iowa’s 99 counties to get input on issues important to residents, and one word has stuck out: Obamacare.

The Affordable Care Act was signed in March 2010, and the overhaul of the health insurance market rolled out this past fall. Between stories of policy cancellations and a botched debut for the website where people could enroll in new plans, the ACA has been ripe for criticism.

“A lot of concerns with what is going on, so yes, getting a lot of feedback like that

and really wanting to find solutions for those problems,” Ernst said Friday after meeting with people in the Cedar Valley.

Ernst, 43, said those concerns have been similar to others’ across the country: stories of canceled plans, stories of new plans that contain unneeded coverage, like maternity leave and stories of smallbusiness owners who recently learned they are not exempt.

Ernst, a state senator from Red Oak and active Iowa Army National Guard member, is one of five candidates vying for the Republican nomination for the open U.S.

Senate seat. She is expected to face off against professor and radio host Sam Clovis, energy executive Mark Jacobs, attorney Matt Whitaker and attorney Paul Lunde in the June 3 Republican primary.

While Ernst did not mention her primary opponents, she did knock the Democratic candidate who supported the legislation, calling the measure “Bruce Braley’s Obamacare.”

Ernst said there are a lot of “free market, common-sense solutions” that could replace the current legislation, but they’re no longer being discussed.

Kathleen Patricia Croker and James Edward Schaefer, both of Osceola, were married April 20, 2013, at Saint Bernard Catholic Church in Osceola.

The bride is the daughter of Michael and Mary Lou Croker of Marshalltown.

The groom is the son of Joe and Janel Schaefer of Creston.

The Rev. Glen Wilwerding officiated the ceremony.

Music was provided by vocalist Samantha Horback and pianist Lynn Baker.

John Gervich and Aaron Gervich, cousins of the bride, were lectors.

Matron of honor was Colleen Kelly, sister of the bride. Bridesmaids were Molly Gervich, cousin of the bride, Jennifer Martin, sister of the groom, and Beth Muckler.

Personal attendant was Samantha Kaeding, cousin of the bride.

Best man was Keith Riley. Groomsmen were Jason Parkins, Scott Abildtrup and Todd McNichols.

But an abundance of sputtering speeches (hello, Jacqueline Bisset, who won for the little-seen Starz series “Dancing on the Edge”) and long, long walks to the stage by winners didn’t help.

“Everybody just keep drinking,” presenter Sean “Diddy” Combs said an hour into the broadcast. “It’ll be over soon.”

For a second year running, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler hosted NBC’s Golden Globes telecast in Beverly Hills, Calif., on Sunday, and Fey, droll as ever, laid out the brutal essence of their return engagement: “This is Hollywood,” she said, “and if something kind of works, they’ll just keep doing it.”

Their presence was a tonic to the earnestness of the night’s early winners, letting the good-natured barbs fly. Taking in the array of assembled movie stars, including “The Wolf of Wall Street” winner Leonardo DiCaprio, Poehler nodded in the direction of Matt Damon: “On any other night, in any other room, you would be a big deal, but tonight — and don’t take this the wrong way — you’re basically a garbage person.”

That helped set the tone for what was a typically loose, fairly boozy affair, even when the slate of movies nominated were as serious as they come, including “12 Years a Slave,” which won for best drama, and “Dallas Buyers Club,” which landed star Matthew McConaughey the lead acting prize. “American Hustle” nabbed the movie comedy Globe, as did stars

Do not answer this call Dear Readers: Here is a hint if someone calls you and says that he or she is with the Do Not Call Registry: HANG UP immediately!

It seems that now scammers are pretending to be from the registry, calling homes and asking people to verify their personal information, or asking if they want to sign up for the registry. No one from the registry will call you — you call the registry! These folks are asking “to confirm” names, addresses and even Social Security numbers. Trust me, no one should be calling you to ask for this information. My hint: HANG UP! Once you have signed up with the registry, it permanently restricts calls from telemarketers, so you never need to renew your registration — it never expires. Call 888-382-1222 to sign up today!

— Heloise P.S.: Another good hint is to never give your personal information over the phone, especially if you get a call you were not expecting asking for it.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) The Full Moon today can create an accident-prone situation for you, so pay attention to everything you say and do.

Slow down, and take it easy.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Some mild anxiety due to cash flow and money problems might arise because of the Full Moon today. You might be uncertain about whether to put your own interests first or those of someone else.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Today the only Full Moon all year in your sign is taking place. Naturally this will make you emotional, especially when dealing with partners and close friends. Stay chill.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Be tolerant and cooperative with work colleagues today, because the Full Moon can create tension in all relationships.

If doubt arises, do nothing.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept.

22) Relations with groups or a member of a group might be agitated because of overheated feelings today. This Full Moon energy will pass quickly.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Be diplomatic when dealing with authority figures, including parents, because today’s Full Moon could cause tension. The demands of home and family are challenging the demands of your career.

This is why you feel tension when dealing with others, especially partners and close friends. Be gentle.

18) Don’t make a big deal about things at work, because everyone feels edgy due to today’s Full Moon. It tends to inflate and heighten people’s emotions.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Parents should be vigilant about their kids today, because everyone — including the family dog — can feel the tension of today’s Full Moon. Work to promote a relaxing environment.

YOU BORN TODAY You are fervent, passionate and com-

mitted to whatever you do, and yet you are an easygoing, pleasure-loving person. Many of you encounter the theme of heroism in your life, whether you are viewed as a hero by others or you work closely with a hero. You fight for justice. This year, a major change might take place as significant as what happened in 2005.

17-0

Syracuse has started 17-0 or better in three of the past four seasons.

National Digest ISU falls AMES — Kansas freshman Andrew Wiggins grabbed every rebound in sight. Joel Embiid was nearly unstoppable in the paint in the second half, and Naadir Tharpe seemingly couldn’t miss.

Tharpe scored a careerhigh 23 points on just nine shots, Wiggins had 17 points and a season-high 19 rebounds and No. 15 Kansas beat No. 8 Iowa State 77-70 on Monday night for its third straight win to open conference play.

Embiid had 12 of his 16 points in the second half to go with five blocks for the Jayhawks (12-4, 3-0), who outrebounded Iowa State 53-36.

Kansas opened the second half with a 16-5 run and led the rest of the way, handing the Cyclones (142, 2-2) their second consecutive loss after a 14-0 start.

DeAndre Kane, who sprained an ankle in the loss to Oklahoma on Saturday, had 21 points for Iowa State, which lost to Kansas for the 17th time in 18 games.

The Cyclones, the Big 12’s top 3-point shooting team, were a dreadful 4 of 25 from beyond the arc.

Parker dies IOWA CITY — Former Iowa defensive coordinator Norm Parker has died. He was 72.

Parker served as Iowa’s defensive coordinator from 1999 through the 2011 season. During Parker’s final three seasons, he fought diabetic complications that saw him lose part of his right leg to amputation at the beginning of the 2010 season. He retired from the Hawkeyes after the 2011 Insight Bowl.

Parker’s first coaching job was head coach at St. John’s High School in Ypsilanti, Mich., in 1965. He came to Iowa after three years at Vanderbilt. He spent 12 years at Michigan State (1983-94). He also had stops at East Carolina, Illinois, Minnesota, Wake Forest and Eastern Michigan.

Parker was stricken with an illness late Sunday evening and passed away Monday morning at University of Iowa Hospital and Clinics.

Under Parker, Iowa ranked among the top 10 in the nation in rushing defense four times.

Panther bowlers split with Harlan

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

HARLAN — The Creston/Orient-Macksburg bowling teams split with Harlan here on Saturday, as the Panther girls came away with a victory, but the boys team suffered a close loss.

“The match at Harlan was a very close and exciting contest,” head coach Ron Pendegraft said. “Lane conditions were much different than we have experienced so far this year. The lanes were synthetic with a lot of oil, so there was not much break. We tend to like lanes that have more break, so these were somewhat challenging and our scores reflected it.”

The Panther girls trailed Harlan 1464-1442 after round one, but outscored the Cyclones by 115 pins in the Baker Rotation to pick up a 2179-2086 win.

Madison Hance led the way with a twog a m e score of 319, followed closely with a s c o r e Hance of 303.

Jenna Hayes tallied a twogame of 299 and Charley Parcher rolled a 287. Aly Downey rounded out the team scoring with a twogame score of 234. Mackenzie McKinney rolled a 227.

“During round two, the girls quickly took the lead and increased that lead through the five games to take the match by a final total of 93 pins,” Pendegraft said.

Boys Meanwhile,

the

boys

trailed Harlan by just 29 pins (1600-1571) after round one. The Panthers cut into that lead in the Baker Rotation, outscoring Harlan 738-723, but they couldn’t quite overtake the Cyclones.

Creston/O-M drew to within 10 pins entering the final round of the Baker Rotation, but Harlan outscored the Panthers 128124 in the final round.

Blake Eddy had a strong day for the Panthers, bowling games of 200 and 206 for a twog a m e Eddy s c o r e of 406 to lead all bowlers. Brett Cheers rolled a 309, while Darin Hatfield and Reece Kramer each finished with two-game scores of 300.

William Haugland rounded out the team scoring with a score of 256. Tyler Shepherd rolled a 199 for the Panthers.

“The boys trailed by 29 after round one, but like the girls, quickly took the lead after the first (Baker) game,” Pendegraft said.

“At that point, Harlan started a comeback and took the lead again.”

The Panthers return to action today at Red Oak. The Panther Tournament is 1 p.m. Saturday at Panther Lanes.

JV Both Creston/O-M JV teams came up short against Harlan. The boys suffered a 1991-1548 loss, while the girls fell 16201594.

Somers was the secondleading scorer with nine points. Woods, Reese and

McDowell all scored two points apiece.

The Creston freshmen

are 2-6 for the season after the tournament.

The freshmen boys also suffered a 57-48 loss to Council Bluffs Abraham Lincoln on Friday.
