City employees clean up debris this morning from a tree that fell on North Sycamore Street in Creston following a strong thunderstorm that swept through Iowa Tuesday evening into this morning.

Storm dumps 7-inch rain total in Adams County Adams and Taylor counties in flash flood warning until Thursday. See rainfall totals map on page 14A. ■

Two area counties are under a flash flood warning today after a strong thunderstorm dumped between 1 and 7 inches of rainfall in southwest Iowa Tuesday evening.

Adams and Taylor

counties are in the warning until 4 a.m. Thursday. Don Willett, emergency management coordinator in Adams County, had closed more than a dozen roadways as of this morning.

Isolated areas of Adams County received 7 inches of rainfall. Willett reminds motorists to never drive through water.

“It’s receding in most areas, but there are spots south of Highway 34 (in Adams County) that still have water going over the road. Don’t drive through water,” Willett said.

Creston received just

more than 2 inches of rainfall, according to the official weather station.

Jo Duckworth, emergency management coordinator in Union County, said the largest total she’s rec e i v e d Duckworth in the county is 2.4 inches.

The storm also brought winds that exceeded 40 miles per hour and caused downed limbs across the

city.

Duckworth said if you have damage or water in your basement, call her at 641-782-1622.

Central Iowa was hardest hit, though, Tuesday with reports of 9 inches of precipitation in Chariton and 7.4 inches in Des Moines. Thousands were without power in Des Moines overnight.

The good news: Dry conditions with high temperatures in the 80s are expected today through Friday. Rain chances do enter the forecast again Saturday.

U.S. expects to pay farmers $191M for birds lost to flu DES MOINES (AP) — The U.S. government expects to spend $191 million to pay chicken and turkey farmers for birds lost to avian flu, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said Tuesday as he called for Congress to consider a disaster program for poultry producers similar to that for other livestock farmers.

That’s just a fraction of the federal government’s $700 million price tag for what is considered by many to be the worst animal disease disaster to hit the nation, Vilsack said.

The government has spent $400 million on cleaning up dead birds and disinfecting and is paying to research and stockpile a bird flu

vaccine in case the virus returns.

The bird flu killed 48 million birds, mostly turkeys and egg-laying chickens in 15 states as it swept through the Midwest.

Iowa, Minnesota and Missouri lost the most birds.

Vilsack spoke Tuesday at a bird flu conference in Des Moines, where the

poultry industry and agriculture officials are talking about how to make farms more secure and how to better respond if the virus is again dropped on farms from waterfowl migrating south this fall. The conference was closed to the Please see BIRD FLU, Page 2

You may be unaware that if you leave your pet in the car when it’s 85 degrees outside, the temperature inside the car – even with the windows cracked – can rise to 102 degrees in 10 minutes and 120 degrees in 30 minutes.

Dog Gone Rescue Director Janel McLain’s love for dogs and desire to spread awareness about keeping them safe in the heat led her to plan a brand new event.

The Hot Doggie Wash, coupled with the My Dog is Cool campaign, will be held Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at McKinley Park near McLain the bandshell.

Volunteers will give dog washes for $15, and the first 50 dogs will receive free bandanas. Attendees can get a hot dog and chips for $3, and there will be bumper stickers and frisbees for $2. All proceeds will go toward the rescue.

“I’m excited to see all the different dogs and raise awareness about the issue,” McLain said. “My hope is that people will stop leaving their dogs in the car, especially on hot days.”

Hot Doggie Wash It will be the first dog wash held in the community, and McLain said if there’s a good turnout, she will make it an annual event. There will be four dogs washed at a time, each in its own kiddie pool.

Supplies have been purchased by the rescue with

“You obviously wouldn’t leave your child in the car, so you shouldn’t leave your dog in the car either.”

help from local companies.

Walmart donated $50 for supplies and Pampered Puppies gave a half-gallon of dog shampoo and conditioner.

Fareway donated bottled water for the dog owners.

My Dog is Cool campaign McLain will launch the My Dog Is Cool Campaign to spread the word that leaving a dog in a hot car for even a few minutes may be too long. The average body temperature of a dog ranges from 101 to 102.5 degrees. Dogs can withstand a body temperature of about 107 or 108 degrees for only a short time before they experience brain and nerve damage, heart problems or even death. More facts and preventative information will be provided in flyers distributed Saturday.

“We live in a small area, and sometimes you think, ‘I’ll just run in real quick to grab this,’ but you run into people you know and end up taking longer than 10 or 15 minutes,” McLain said. “You obviously wouldn’t leave your child in the car, so you shouldn’t leave your dog in the car either.”

Part of the campaign will be the opportunity for dog owners to take “The Pledge” to never leave their dog in the car. Those who do so Please see DOGGIE WASH, Page 2

Program to provide student aid to prisoners WASHINGTON (AP) — Some federal and state prisoners could soon be eligible for federal student aid to take college courses while behind bars.

The aid would come in the form of Pell grants, which are for low-income people and do not have to be repaid.

The Education Department confirmed Tuesday that it would conduct a limited pilot program to give prisoners access to the Pell grants. The official announcement was scheduled for Friday, when Education Secretary Arne Dun-

More than 2 million students now receive Pell grants. The maximum award for the 201516 school year is $5,775. Prison “experimental sites” will be set up this year.

can and Attorney General Loretta Lynch visit the Maryland Correctional Institution in Jessup, Maryland. The prison has a partnership with nearby Goucher College.

Previewing the program, Duncan said Monday that the administration wants to develop “experimental sites that will make

Pell grants available” to inmates to help them get job training and secure a productive life after they are released.

Asked for more details, Duncan told reporters in a call after the speech, “Stay tuned.”

Department spokeswoman Dorie Nolt declined to disclose any

specifics on the length of the program, which prisoners would be eligible and how it would work.

Congress passed legislation in 1994 banning government student aid to prisoners in federal or state institutions. By setting up the proposed “experimental sites,” the administration would be seeking to get around the ban with a pilot program.

The experimental sites section of the Higher Education Act of 1965 gives federal officials flexibility to test the effectiveness of temporary changes to the way federal

student aid is distributed. The tests could give the Education Department data to support possible revisions to laws or regulations.

More than 2 million students now receive Pell grants, according to Duncan. The maximum award for the 2015-2016 school year is $5,775.

On Friday, Duncan and Lynch will visit Goucher College’s Prison Education Partnership at the Jessup facility. More than 70 students Please see PRISONERS, Page 2

Karen L. Donner, 74, of Afton, formerly of Creston, died July 25, 2015, at the Afton Care CenDonner ter.

Memorial services will be 10:30 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 1, at Pearson Family Funeral Service, 809 W. Montgomery, Creston. Inurnment will be private at Greenlawn Cemetery, Afton.

Karen Louise Donner, daughter of Jim and Evelyn Fern (Jarvis) Kinyon, was born on Jan. 23, 1941, in Greenfield.

Karen was raised to age five by her foster parents, Alma E. and Ern Butler of Greenfield, due to the death of her father Jim. When her mother Evelyn married Carl Griswold, Karen was reunited with her mother and step-father in Creston. Karen resided in Creston the majority of her life.

Karen managed the cafe at the Creston Sale Barn, and later worked in the kitchen at Greater Community Hospital in Creston. On June 17, 1967, Karen married Arthur Roe

Donner in Creston. Karen received her GED in 1968 from Southwestern Community College and she later attended college at SWCC and received a certification in office occupations. Following graduation, she worked at Innovative Industries for several years, before working for Arnold O. Kenyon, attorney, as his administrative assistant. She moved to Apache Junction, Ariz., in 2003, and lived there for nearly 12 years where she worked for the Marc Center as a residential aide.

Karen recently returned to the area due to her ill health. Karen was a former member of the Creston Eagles.

Karen is survived by her children, Michael “Mick” (Mary) Quinn-Donner of Dunedin, Fla., Marcie (Mike) Page of Shannon City, Lori (Curtis) Clark of Harrisonville, Mo., and Marla (Gerrit) Vrieze of Winterset; 15 grandchildren; 22 great-grandchildren; brothers, Marvin (Betty) Griswold of Chariton and John R.

Average US vehicle age hits record 11.5 years As quality and reliability have improved, people have been holding on to their cars and trucks for longer.

■

DETROIT (AP) — In the age of Apple’s CarPlay, a lot of cars on the road still have tape decks.

The average vehicle in the U.S. is now a record 11.5 years old, according to consulting firm IHS Automotive, a sign of the increased reliability of today’s vehicles and the lingering impact of the sharp drop in new car sales during the recession.

Drivers behind the wheel of older cars aren’t enjoying some of the latest advanced safety features or infotainment systems that effectively turn cars into cellphones on wheels. Then again, they don’t have to worry about hackers finding their way in to the car’s computer network through the cassette or CD player.

IHS said U.S. registra-

tions grew to a record 257.9 million cars and trucks, up 2 percent from a year earlier.

The average age of vehicles has been climbing steadily since IHS began tracking the number in 2002.

As quality and reliability have improved, people have been holding on to their cars and trucks for longer. The average length of ownership for a new vehicle is now almost 6.5 years, IHS said. For a used vehicle, it’s five years.

Cars and trucks now have the same average age, says Mark Seng, IHS Automotive’s global aftermarket practice leader. For many years, cars had shorter lifespans than trucks, but their quality has now caught up.

Experts say there’s no rule for how long to hold on to an old car or truck.

A car with good reliability can go for 200,000 miles or more, which can easily last a decade for some motorists, says Doug Love, a spokesman for Consumer Reports.

The magazine doesn’t recommend driving older cars without two key safety features introduced more than a decade ago: electronic stability control and side curtain air bags.

The aging car population could mean that Americans will be slow to adapt safety and semi-autonomous features that have car company executives and experts heralding a new age of the automobile. Adaptive cruise control arrived in the U.S. market in 2006, for example, but nine years later only 6 percent of all cars have it, according to a recent report from Boston Consulting Group. It will also take longer for much-hyped advances like CarPlay — which gives drivers access to their

apps through the dashboard — to become commonplace.

But Seng says the auto industry should take heart.

Even though the average vehicle age shows no sign of reversing, it is starting to plateau, since buyers have returned to the car market in big numbers. Sales of new cars rose from 12.7 million in 2011 to 16.5 million last year and are expected to reach or exceed 17 million this year. IHS thinks the average vehicle age will hit 11.6 years in 2016 but won’t climb to 11.7 years until 2018.

Seng says that’s a more normal rate than the industry saw in the years after the recession. Vehicle age increased rapidly between 2008 and 2013, since more people were keeping older cars. In 2008, the average age of cars and trucks in the U.S. was 10 years; by 2013, it was 11.4 years, or 14 percent higher.

Education Department Undersecretary Ted Mitchell this week called Pell grants “one of the key levers that we have” to increase the college completion rate.

Advocates for expanding federal student aid to prisoners point to societal benefits. A 2013 Rand study found that inmates who took part in education programs behind bars had 43 percent lower odds of returning to prison than inmates who had not. Sup-

porters say the correctional education programs are cost-effective compared with the costs of re-incarceration.

Reps. Donna Edwards, D-Md., and Danny Davis, D-Ill., introduced legislation in May that would reinstate Pell Grant eligibility for federal and state prisoners. At the time, Edwards said it would go a long way to helping curb the nation’s high incarceration rate through education.

are enrolled in Goucher College through the partnership, which began classes for prisoners in 2012 and does not receive public funding.

The inmates don’t pay tuition, and books and supplies are provided at no cost, according to the partnership.

“Getting a college education takes an incredible amount of hard work,” Amy Roza, director of the part-

nership, said in an interview.

“The program helps with skills like critical thinking and problem solving.”

About 70 percent of students in the program are first-generation college students, Roza said.

Goucher is part of the Consortium for the Liberal Arts in Prison, based at Bard College in New York.

Wesleyan University in Connecticut and Grinnell College in Iowa also are part of the consortium.

Zimbabwe: American being sought for lion poaching

QUALITY • DEPENDABILITY • SERVICE

HARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) — Zimbabwean police said Tuesday they are searching for an American who allegedly shot a well-known, protected lion known as Cecil with a crossbow in a killing that has outraged conservationists and others.

Authorities on Tuesday said two Zimbabwean men will appear in court for allegedly helping lure the lion outside of its protected area to kill it. The American faces poaching charges, according to police spokeswoman Charity Charamba.

The American allegedly paid $50,000 to hunt the lion, Zimbabwean conservationists said, though the hunter and his local partners main-

tain they didn’t know the lion they killed was protected.

Walter James Palmer was identified on Tuesday by both the Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force and the Safari Operators Association of Zimbabwe as the American hunter, a name that police then confirmed.

“We arrested two people and now we are looking for Palmer in connection with the same case,” Charamba said.

Emmanuel Fundira, the president of the Safari Operators Association of Zimbabwe, said at a news conference that Palmer is from Minnesota and his current whereabouts were unknown.

Palmer issued a statement

saying he was unaware that the lion was so well known and part of a study.

“I had no idea that the lion I took was a known, local favorite, was collared and part of a study until the end of the hunt,” he said, maintaining that to his knowledge, everything about the hunt had been legal.

Attempts to reach Palmer, 55, at his two listed home numbers and his office by phone and in person were unsuccessful.

Palmer, an avid hunter, pleaded guilty in 2008 to making false statements to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service about a black bear he fatally shot in western Wisconsin outside of the authorized hunting zone, ac-

ing with outbreaks as individual disasters, he said.

A proposed insurance program was cut from the 2014 farm bill as Congress sought to reduce spending, Vilsack said.

Of the 211 U.S. commercial poultry barns affected by the bird flu, 90 have been cleaned and disinfected and nearly 70 are ready to bring in new birds, Vilsack said.

By the end of September, infected farms should be ready to restock, he said.

Walter Anthony Hodgkins, 34, 810 W. Adams St., was charged on a Union County warrant for possession of a controlled substance 9:04 a.m. Tuesday at his residence.

According to a Creston Police report, 9:28 p.m. Jan. 24, officers were on patrol in a marked patrol vehicle.

They were traveling west on West Howard Street with a vehicle in front. Officers observed the vehicle had a driver’s side brake light that was not working. Officers conducted a traffic stop on the vehicle near the intersection of West Howard and North streets. Officers made contact with the driver, and observed a passenger in the front seat. Both of them provided officers with their driver’s licenses.

The driver was identified as Hodgkins. Hodgkins would not make eye contact with officers while they asked questions. He answered the questions very quietly, and was slow on his actions and responses.

Officers went to the patrol car and checked the status of Hodgkins’ driver’s license. On the report they got back, they observed several drug-related charges on his record. Based on this and how Hodgkins was acting, officers returned to the vehicle, gave Hodgkins his information back, and THURSDAY, JULY 9 asked to search the vehicle.

Creston News Advertiser Wednesday, July 29, 2015

Turns out you have to finagle for parking in downtown Montgomery, Ala., on a weeknight.

Condos are rising; clubs are hopping.

I arrive early because I don’t want to be late. I am here to meet for dinner three women who have become more a part of my life than I’d have believed possible three years ago, when they first took the job to take care of my aging parents. Their names are Monique, aka “Nikki”; Tametris, aka “Moe”; and Alisha.

Mother couldn’t remember those exotic names at first; hers was the generation of Sally and Jane and Betty. She sometimes called Nikki Alisha and Alisha Nikki and everyone, at times, Moe. It didn’t bother the young women. They kidded her about it and threatened to wear name tags.

It was those confusing names

OPINION Three wise women King Features commentary Rheta Johnson

my mother called out, along with my late father’s, as she lay dying.

And all three women, two not officially on duty, were with her when she died.

But before the death there was much life and laughter in this old house in the Alabama piney woods. The women brought to my mother news of the outside world, crafts to finish late at night, photographs of children and grandchildren, giant chocolate Easter bunnies named “Sweetie” and anything else they thought she might enjoy. They helped Mother entertain her lady friends and set holiday tables — sometimes

months ahead of the actual holiday — and pushed her around Hobby Lobby.

Mother marveled at the energetic trio who kept cellphones at their ears and wore stylish shoes and had boyfriends with potential. They cooked from her recipe box and listened and remembered as she told endless family stories, some of the same ones I’d glazed over hearing. In turn, Mother heard about their lives and vicariously struggled through school exams, breakups and friends’ deaths.

And, for me, suddenly trips home became more than routine visits to check on the folks. They became fun. Life, for all of us, was less lonely.

For the first time in my life, I watched the Auburn-Alabama game with a Tide fan. She was gracious to a fault when they whupped us. On the other hand, I

grew to love a little boy named Marquel who turned down $20 an uncle offered him if he would say “Roll Tide.” He has scruples.

One Christmas my gift was a blue scarf the three had paid to have monogrammed. I lost track of the presents they brought to my mother.

I worried that the 60-mile round trip would prove too much, and that somebody might quit the often thankless task of dealing with prescriptions, groceries, doctors’ appointments, house cleaning and entertaining my mother, who, at times, could be unreasonably demanding.

Nobody quit.

Instead, at the end, they drove five hours to be graveside with the family and see Mother’s little hometown of Colquitt, Georgia, of which they had heard so much.

Tonight, when I see the trio

walking toward me in the restaurant, I swallow tears. I owe a debt I can never repay, and not just because they took such good care of my mother.

I owe them for what they taught me: to keep a sense of humor under duress, to learn from old people, not to take every utterance personally, not to sweat small stuff because there’s more coming.

In a way, in an unforgettable way, they taught me a new brand of love. *** Rheta Grimsley Johnson most recent book is “Hank Hung the Moon ... And Warmed Our Cold, Cold Hearts.” Comments are welcomed at rhetagrimsley@aol.com. (c) 2015 Rheta Grimsley Johnson Distributed by King Features Syndicate

Letter to the editor

Thank you to Union County Historical Village From the Thompson family Creston

During a recent family gathering in Creston, we were able to tour the Historical Village and Museum at McKinley Park. Although normally closed on this particular day, three members of the Historical Village council working on displays took time out away from their projects to open all the buildings and museum. They also took time to answer our questions and also to explain

the workings of numerous items and how items were obtained. Everyone enjoyed the many exhibits and the chance to get in the individual buildings and displays. The large collection of items displayed was very impressive.

So, to Steve Francis, Sharon Snodgrass and Linda James, our whole hearted thanks for your kindness in allowing our family a chance to visit your wonderful village. You and the community should be very proud of what you have achieved.

Again our thanks to these folks.

We like to hear from you!

Donald Trump spoke to big crowds in Iowa who cheered his rants HOLLYWOOD — God Bless America, and how’s everybody?

Donald Trump spoke to big crowds in Iowa who cheered his rants against the Washington D.C. establishment Saturday. This morning, Trump came out of his house, picked up the paper, and saw that he’s leading in all the GOP presidential polls. Traditionally, this means six more weeks of comedy.

President Obama spoke to the African Union meeting held in East Africa Monday and he urged African nations to engage in the battle against al-Qaeda. The region is Obama’s ancestral home.

President Obama spent this past weekend in the nation of Kenya, or as Fox News calls it, West Hawaii.

President Obama told the press in Africa Monday that ninety-nine percent of the world is behind the Iran nuclear deal. Actually, it has many on edge. It didn’t calm Israeli fears as the deal was signed when Obama assured them that if you like a non-nuclear Iran you can keep a non-nuclear Iran.

GOP candidate Mike Huckabee warned the Iran nuclear deal will march the Israelis to the door of the oven. It set pundits aflame.

Huckabee’s comparing the Iran deal to the Holocaust was so shocking, insensitive and insulting toward a minority group that Donald Trump said he couldn’t top it.

Donald Trump’s lead in the GOP polls was broken down and analyzed Monday by TV political analysts. They said he’s polling

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

well among Republican men. Republican women, however, look at Trump’s past record and fear that if we elect him president, he’ll just leave us for a younger country.

Democratic and GOP presidential candidates descended on Iowa and New Hampshire this week, driven by polls that show an open race. They stay at motels that offer you a free continental breakfast.

No one’s quite sure what continent this breakfast comes from, but whichever one it is, they are starving.

President Obama and the Ayatollah Khameni gave two different versions of the Iran nuclear deal Monday. It includes McDonald’s returning to Teheran. Who knew the Iranians were a lot less interested in acquiring an atomic bomb than they were in enjoying a freshly-nuked McDonald’s apple pie.

New York magazine interviewed all forty-six women who accuse Bill Cosby of drugging them into unconsciousness and then having sex with them thirty to forty years ago. If the reports in the magazine are true, then the comedian should do what any rapist would do. Ask for a reality series.

Russia’s Miss Charming beauty pageant winner forfeited her crown on Friday after the judges deduced that she is a neo-Nazi.

She gave herself away in the contestant interview. She got a huge round of applause for saying she favored invading Poland, but she didn’t specify from which direction.

North Korea’s Kim Jung Un marked the sixty-second anniversary of the end of the Korean War Monday, saying the next war will leave no American alive. His pride is very touchy. War could come sooner than anyone expects if Kim Jung Un ever finds out that Dennis Rodman is not President Obama.

A Kuwait Airlines pilot allowed two champagne sipping Playboy models to sit on his lap as he flew an airliner from London to New York last week. Muslim men don’t have to obey Islamic law when they’re off the ground. It’s why the other two members of Kuwait’s holy trinity are the Wright Brothers.

Bill Clinton’s Oval Office sexual harassment accuser Kathleen Willey announced Monday she’s setting up a website asking all women who’ve ever been sexually harassed by Bill Clinton to join the site. She said he groped her breasts in the Oval Office. Churchill’s bust doesn’t do it for every president.

Uber came under fire from big city mayors last week because the ride-sharing can’t be regulated and taxed. Young people are furious. For two centuries, a young American’s desire to drink turned them into Democrats and now their desire to get home without a DUI could turn them into Republicans.

First humanoid robot in space receives NASA invention of the year HOUSTON, Texas - If you ever visit NASA’s Johnson Space Center and get to meet the Robonaut 2 prototype, be sure to shake the robot’s hand, since it can do that, and congratulate it.

The actual Robonaut 2 (R2), the first humanoid robot in space, was recently selected as the NASA Government Invention of the Year for 2014. While R2 resides aboard the International Space Station, many of the technologies developed for R2 are being adapted for use on Earth, helping to give it the distinction of an outstanding government invention.

R2 is recognized as an invention that exemplifies one of NASA’s missions: to transfer advanced technology to U.S. industry.

The robot was chosen from among many other valuable innovations by the NASA Invention and Contributions Board, NASA General Counsel and the NASA Administrator, Charlie Bolden. These entities evaluated R2 in the following

areas: aerospace, industry and humanitarian significance, technology readiness level, NASA use, industry use and creativity.

The first Robonaut, R1, was built as a ground prototype to explore the potential for a humanoid robot to help astronauts during spacewalks by preparing worksites and providing an extra pair of dexterous hands during maintenance tasks. NASA has since gained expertise in expanding robotic technologies for space and Earth applications through the successful creation of partnerships with outside organizations.

R2 was co-developed with General Motors (GM) through a Space Act Agreement. R2 is a faster, more dexterous robot than the first iteration of Robonaut.

With more sensing, a greater range of motion and a safety system that allows it to work side-by-side with astronauts, R2 holds great potential to assist with space station activities.

Technologies resulting from R2 include a robotic

glove, a robotic exoskeleton and telemedicine applications. The R2 technology has resulted in a total of 39 issued patents, with several more still under review.

The robotic glove, or the Robo-Glove, was developed as a grasp assist device after NASA and GM realized there was overlap between what astronauts needed in space and what factory workers could use on the ground. The Robo-Glove could help astronauts close their gloves and reduce the amount of effort they apply while conducting EVA tasks, much like the way power steering helps to steer a car. The glove also may help the factory workers to grip a tool longer with less discomfort by reducing the amount of force that they need to exert. This could result in less fatigue and fewer stress injuries.

NASA and the Florida Institute for Human and Machine Cognition (IHMC), with the help of engineers from Oceaneering Space Systems of

Houston, jointly developed a robotic exoskeleton called X1. Currently in the research and development phase, X1 is a 57-pound robotic device that a human could wear over his or her body either to assist or inhibit movement in leg joints. NASA and IHMC streamlined R2 arm technology to make it slim enough to allow a person in a wheelchair to get out using the exoskeleton. The X1 device has the potential to allow for assisted walking over varied terrain to paraplegics or other patients in rehabilitation settings, and also produce sufficient force to be an effective low mass exercise device for future space missions.

The Houston Methodist Research Institute and NASA also worked together to test R2 for use in telemedicine, conducting medical procedures through electronic communication by remotely operating R2 to perform an ultrasound scan of a medical mannequin and to use a syringe

as part of a procedure. This demonstration of R2’s capabilities could potentially allow physicians to conduct complex medical procedures on humans in remote locations on Earth or in space.

The NASA Invention of the Year is a first for a humanoid robot and another in a series of firsts for R2

that include the first robot inside a human space vehicle operating without a cage and the first robot to work with human-rated tools in space. Using the International Space Station as a test bed for these robotic and future technologies will be vital to human exploration and beneficial to human health.

The RoboGlove was built through the continuing partnership between NASA and General Motors.

It uses R2 technology to increase the strength of a human’s grasp.

This Is Where the Cookie Crumbles Dear Heloise: I have enjoyed your mother’s and your columns in The (Spokane, Wash.) Spokesman-Review for years. And I have used many of the hints to ease my life.

Here is my hint: I save BROKEN COOKIES, coarse chop them and freeze for use as open-face fruit-pie crumble toppings. They are delicious. -- Doris B., Spokane, Wash.

Hi, Doris, and thank you for the lovely compliment.

It’s hard to believe I have now been writing this column for over 35 years! Keep reading and writing. -- Hugs, Heloise NO-BITE RADISHES Dear Heloise: Is there any way to take the “hot” out of radishes? I’ve tried soaking them in water, to no avail. I tried soaking them in vinegar (that was a step to my mom’s canning hot peppers). Vinegar took the hotness out, but the radishes tasted like pickled eggs and had to be tossed.

-- Debbie B., Kerrville, Texas Oh, I love tasty, crisp red radishes! Some can be a little too hot, though, depending on the time of year.

Hints from Heloise Soaking them is good, but in full-strength vinegar, as you found out, is not the answer.

Better to soak them in cool tap water, with a hefty dose of salt added. -- Heloise SUMMER DRINK Dear Heloise: Iced coffee is one of my special drinks for summer. I use 1 pound of coffee (decaf, if preferred) to 2 quarts of fresh water. Mix coffee grounds in the water, cover and let soak for 24 hours. Strain out the grounds.

Pour part of the strained coffee into ice trays to use in the coffee so it does not get diluted. -- Stephanie L. in Houston This is one homestyle way to make a “cold” coffee without brewing. Readers, you may have to experiment to get the strength you like. I stir the water and grounds every so often, but do let them settle before decanting. I love decaf iced coffee, especially at night when I want something sweet but no caffeine. For other

Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. If you don’t finish the pot in the morning, pour the rest into a container and put it in the refrigerator. Cold coffee anytime you want it! -Heloise QUICK BERRIES Dear Readers: When I have a handful of berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries) to “wash,” I use my plastic coffee basket. Plop the berries in and rinse under running water for a few minutes. They are ready to BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker eat, and no large colander to wash. -- Heloise REHEATING FOOD Dear Heloise: When reheating greasy foods, I wrinkle aluminum foil to create pockets. I place the food on the foil and reheat it in the oven or toaster oven. The grease and oil will drain into the pockets. -- Bobbie L., Huntington Beach, Calif. (c)2015 by King Features Syndicate Inc. BLONDIE® by Dean Young

Horoscope Thursday, July 30, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Tension with friends and romantic partners might build up today before tomorrow’s Full Moon. There is nothing you can do about this except be patient and tolerant.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Tomorrow’s Full Moon creates tension today about the demands of home and family versus the demands of your career and public life. Try to handle this as best you can.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Today is an accident-prone day for your sign because of a buildup of tension within you before tomorrow’s Full Moon.

This means you have to slow down and take it easy.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Financial issues might come to a head today because of the pressures created by tomorrow’s Full Moon. Nevertheless, do not let others force you to act.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Tomorrow the only Full Moon opposite your sign all year will take place.

This means that today you feel conflict with partners and close friends. Be intelligent. Be patient.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Tension always builds up right before a Full Moon. Tomorrow is the Full Moon. This means you will feel increased stress when dealing with co-workers.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Romantic relationships might be dicey today, along with relationships with your kids. This is because of the buildup of tension today before tomorrow’s Full Moon. Chill out.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) The Full Moon tomorrow forces you to make a choice between home and family versus career and your public reputation. You will feel this choice most strongly today.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) This is a mildly accident-prone day for you because of tension building up before tomorrow’s Full Moon.

This means you have to be aware of everything you say and do.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Financial issues, especially regarding inheritances and shared property, will come to a head today. This is prompted by the energy of tomorrow’s Full Moon. Something has to

give.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18 Tomorrow the only Full Moon in your sign all year will take place. This is why today you feel tension with partners and close friends. In 48 hours, this will be gone.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Health issues might come to a head, causing you concern today. Similarly, you might feel concern about a pet. Don’t worry; these problems will disappear in a few days.

YOU BORN TODAY You are

physical in your approach to life. You also are confident and decisive. You set goals and intend to achieve them. This year something you’ve been involved with for about nine years will end or diminish in order to make room for something new. Take it easy, and learn to serve others. This is a good year to travel.

Wilson earns Adamantine yoga certification DES MOINES - Michelle Wilson of Radiant Wellness Solutions became a certified Adamantine Yoga instructor Wilson after completing a rigorous training with program founder James Miller in Des Moines on July 19.

“I’m constantly studying and pushing myself to expand my personal yoga practice as well as what I can offer my students,” said Wilson. “When I discovered

Adamantine Yoga, my own daily yoga practice took an exciting leap forward, and I knew I wanted to delve deeper so that I could teach the style to others.”

A certified yoga instructor through the Living Yoga Program in Austin, Texas, Wilson has taught yoga in Corning, Creston and Atlantic since 2007, working elements of vinyasa, hatha, qi gong and yin into her classes.

Adamantine Yoga integrates three distinct facets of yoga into a cohesive and transformative daily practice.

“Adamantine is a disciplined approach to yoga

practice that combines posture, breath and concentration to form a moving meditation built around a framework of 20 yogic positions,” said Wilson, who has also offered holistic health coaching services since 2013.

“These 20 yogic positions provide a complete map of the human body’s movement.”

This distillation of movement includes modifications so practitioners of all levels can find a lifetime of challenge and fulfillment, and the daily practice melds well with Wilson’s goal of helping clients to “find more freedom, ease and joy in how

they eat, move and live.”

“The beauty of Adamantine Yoga is in its ability to adapt itself to the needs of each individual student and allow them to thrive,” said Miller. “It takes the best aspects of a private session and combines them with the community support of a group-led class by offering the Guided Self-Practice experience. And in the end it empowers each student to take personal ownership and responsibility for their own practice.”

USDA and Microsoft launch ‘Innovation Challenge’ WASHINGTON - The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is partnering with Microsoft to launch the “Innovation Challenge,” a contest designed to explore how climate change will impact the United States’ food system with the intent of achieving better food resiliency. The challenge invites entrants to develop and publish new applications and tools that can analyze multiple sources of information about the nation’s food supply, including key USDA data sets that are now hosted on Microsoft Azure, Microsoft’s cloud-computing platform.

“For more than 100 years, USDA has compiled data from economic reports and farm production surveys, and more recently from satellite imagery and remote sensors that can provide information on the health of crops around the country,” said Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. “Through this partnership with Microsoft, we

are now putting that data into the hands of people who can help us derive new insights to address factors that threaten our ability to feed a growing global population. This offers exciting possibilities, and I look forward to seeing the new tools that contest participants develop.”

For the first time, key USDA datasets are being made available in the cloud where they can be accessed and blended with other data to give novel insights or used in new types of end-user applications. Combining these USDA data with cloud-computing resources allows even high fidelity and complex models to be processed in a timely manner and enables results to be delivered to remote users on their laptops, tablets or mobile phones.

The challenge offers $60,000 in prizes, including a top prize of $25,000, for applications that make use of the USDA data and provide actionable insights to farmers, agriculture businesses,

scientists or consumers. In addition, Microsoft is granting cloud-computing awards to aid university researchers and students who wish to take part in the challenge.

The deadline for entries is Nov. 20, giving challenge participants three months to create their applications.

Winners will be announced in December.

The increased prevalence and availability of data from satellite imagery, remote sensors, surveys and economic reports mean that people can analyze, model and predict an extremely diverse set of properties associated with food production. Applications might combine data from the USDA and other government sources, such as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) or the United States Geological Survey, and can be targeted at farmers, scientists, food producers, insurance companies or

consumers.

“I am looking forward to discover what creative ideas the community comes up with through blending together USDA data, novel ways of exploring and analyzing data with access to large scale computing and data analysis in the form of Microsoft’s Azure platform,” said Dr. Daron Green, deputy managing director of Microsoft Research. “Microsoft and the USDA seek to catalyze the creativity of others and hope that the challenge will provide a great incentive for developers and researchers interested in data science to put together some great applications helping address the USA’s food resiliency needs.”

Microsoft will promote the challenge at the 2015 meeting of the Agricultural & Applied Economics Association. Full details can be found at http:// usdaapps.challengepost.com.

Northey comments on Iowa crops DES MOINES – Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey commented on the Iowa Crops and Weather report released Monday by the USDA National Agricultural Statistical Service.

The report is released weekly from April through October.

“The continued pattern of rain showers and storms moving across the state means crops generally have plenty of moisture, which is not usually the case in late July. While there are certainly areas that have seen some crop damage due to the weather, in general both corn and beans are in good condition across much of the state,” Northey said.

The weekly report is also available on the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship’s website at www.IowaAgriculture. gov or on USDA’s site at www.nass.usda.gov/ia. The report summary for the crop report follows here: A dry start with rain near the end of the week allowed Iowa farmers 5.0 days suitable for fieldwork for the week ending July 26, according to the USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service. Activities for the week included cutting hay, aerial fungicide application to corn, and herbicide and insecticide application to soybeans. There were reports of crop stress due to the hot, dry weather, as well as weed problems in soybeans.

Topsoil moisture lev-

els rated zero percent very short, six percent short, 78 percent adequate and 16 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture levels rated 0 percent very short, five percent short, 79 percent adequate and 16 percent surplus.

Northwest Iowa was the driest area of the state with one-quarter rated very short to short on topsoil moisture.

Eighty-three percent of the corn crop had reached the silking stage or beyond, with 11 percent reaching the dough stage. Corn condition rated 83 percent good to excellent. Soybeans blooming or beyond reached 78 percent. Thirty-seven percent of soybeans were setting pods, slightly ahead of average. Soybean condition rated 76 percent good to excellent this week. Oat acreage turning color or beyond reached 96 percent, with 57 percent of the oat crop harvested for grain or seed, five days ahead of last year. Oat crop condition rating increased to 81 percent good to excellent.

The first cutting of alfalfa hay neared completion, while the second cutting reached 68 percent, one day behind last year, and nearly a week behind the average.

The third cutting of alfalfa hay got underway this week.

Hay condition was rated at 68 percent good to excellent, while pasture condition rated 77 percent good to excellent. Livestock saw some stress during the day, but generally recovered at night.

National Digest

Ban upheld NEW YORK (AP) — Tom Brady’s fourgame suspension for his role in using underinflated footballs during the AFC championship game was upheld Tuesday by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.

Goodell said the New England quarterback told an assistant to destroy Brady’s cellphone on or just before March 6. Brady met with independent investigator Ted Wells on that day.

“He did so even though he was aware that the investigators had requested access to text messages and other electronic information that had been stored on that phone,” Goodell said in his decision.

“During the four months that the cellphone was in use, Brady had exchanged nearly 10,000 text messages, none of which can now be retrieved from that device.”

Brady, who turns 38 on Aug. 3, took nearly every snap last season.

But he’ll miss the first four games this season unless the case goes to court. Jimmy Garoppolo, a second-round pick in 2014, would replace Brady, the two-time NFL MVP. New England hosts Pittsburgh on Sept. 10 to open the regular season.

It then goes to Buffalo, hosts Jacksonville, has a bye, and is at Dallas in the last game of Brady’s suspension.

Brady would return against, yes, the Colts on Oct. 18 in Indianapolis.

Three Panthers on Hawkeye 10 first team Total of seven Creston players honored

n

By LARRY PETERSON CNA sports writer • lpeterson@crestonnews.com

Seven players from Creston’s Class 4A third-place softball team received recognition on the 2015 Hawkeye 10 all-conference softball team announced after the state tournament last weekend.

The Panther senior battery of pitcher Haylee LaMasters and catcher Natalie Mostek are repeat members of the first unit, and unanimous selections. This is the

third straight year for LaMasters on the first team.

Mostek was on the second team as a sophomore before joining the top unit last year.

Also on the first team from Creston is junior shortstop Taylor Briley.

Junior center fielder Josie Sickels earned all-conference honors for the second consecutive year, named to the second unit this year.

Also on the second team are senior second baseman Brenna Baker and junior right fielder Alyssa Higgins.

Receiving honorable mention from Creston’s conference champion team is sophomore third baseman Lexie Little.

Creston senior pitcher Haylee LaMasters bats in the Iowa Girls Coaches Association Softball All-Star Classic Monday night. For the third straight year LaMasters was named to the Hawkeye 10 all-conference first team in softball. She led the conference and the state in Class 4A in runs batted in and was 20-5 as a pitcher with a league best 1.31 ERA.

This is the first year the number of nominations was not directly correlated with how a team finished in the league standings. Conference athletic directors have instituted unlimited nominations in the 2014-15 school year.

Coach Mike McCabe said Creston’s representation on the all-conference teams is comparable to the former system when the team earned a championship.

“I felt pretty good about it,” McCabe said Monday morning. “In the past, a first-place team was allowed seven people to be nominated, and that ended up being the number of players we had who got honored.”

LaMasters was second in the conference in batting average (.536), tied for second in home runs (10) and led the league (and Class 4A) in runs batted in (61).

As a pitcher, LaMasters led the league in ERA (1.31) and was third in strikeouts (157) while posting a 20-5 record. She shared pitching duties with Briley, who was 8-2 with a 2.25 ERA and 41 strikeouts in 53 innings pitched.

Besides being a defensive standout at shortstop, Briley was an offensive force in the No. 2 position in the Panther batting order. She was 12th in the league with a .402 batting average, tied teammate Alli Thomsen for 13th in home runs (2) and tied for sixth in stolen bases (16 of 17). She had a teamhigh 51 runs scored.

Mostek was a defensive leader behind the plate for the Panthers for four years, and offensively batted fourth in the lineup behind LaMasters. Mostek was ninth in the league in batting (.424) and tied for 15th in RBI (28). She was tied for 18th in stolen bases (11

of 11).

“Those three first-teamers are very deserving,” McCabe said. “Taylor bounced back and had a really good season, and Haylee and Natalie have been among the best in the league for a long time.”

Likewise, he was happy about the second team selections, who all played key roles in the team’s march to third place in the Class 4A state tourney.

“Josie was a first-teamer last year and made the all-tournament team for us with a great state tournament,” Jo. Sickels McCabe said. “Alyssa was honorable mention last year and

Chiefs safety Berry cleared to practice

Papelbon traded WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Washington Nationals on Tuesday acquired Phillies closer Jonathan Papelbon in a trade for Double-A pitcher Nick Pivetta.

As part of the deal, Papelbon was assured he would close in Washington. He, in turn, agreed to restructure his contract.

A roadblock to the Phillies trading Papelbon had been his notrade protection and a $13 million vesting option for 2016. Papelbon waived the no-trade and gave up about $2 million as Washington agreed to guarantee the option.

More importantly, the Nationals agreed to make Papelbon their closer. That forces former closer Drew Storen back into a setup role.

Storen has 29 saves and a 1.73 ERA this season.

A six-time AllStar, Papelbon owns a 1.59 ERA with 40 strikeouts and eight walks in 39 1/3 innings this season for the Phillies. He has 17 saves.

improved for us this year.

Brenna had a good senior season coming off the (knee) injury and not getting to play full-time last year.”

Showing impressive range in center field defensively, Sickels batted .312 with 39 runs scored in the leadoff position. She was 4-4 in stolen bases. Baker was also a defensive standout at second base while batting .275 with 22 runs, 21 RBI and 6-6 in stolen bases.

At left, Lorensen oversees a passing and layup drill as Dawson Tullberg of Lenox finishes a layup.

Lorensen said the format of the camp was set up like a typical college-level practice. SWCC also hosted a oneday team camp on Friday that included Creston and East Union.

KANSAS CITY (AP) — Nearly eight months after he was officially diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma, Chiefs safety Eric Berry will return to the practice field on Wednesday.

The team announced in a news release Tuesday night that Berry has been cleared to practice on Wednesday with the quarterbacks, rookies and injured players.

Chiefs coach Andy Reid and head trainer Rick Burkholder will address the media following Wednesday’s practice. Berry will address the media at 1 p.m.

Last December, Berry, 26, was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma, which accounts for about 10 percent of lymphoma cases and is considered to be highly curable.

Lymphoma is a group of cancers of a part of the immune system called the lymph system. The cancers fall into two main types, Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

According to cancer.org, the five-year survival rate for patients with Hodgkin lymphoma is 90 percent for those in stage one and two, 80 percent for stage three and 65 percent for stage four.

Berry was first suspected of having lymphoma following the Chiefs’ game against Oakland last November, when he complained of chest discomfort.

Tiger Woods looks to salvage season GAINESVILLE, Va. (AP) — Tiger Woods didn’t touch a golf club for a week. After missing the cut at the British Open on July 17, he took a vacation with his kids. They went diving, snorkeling, spear fishing.

Anything to get his mind and body as far away from golf as possible, he said Tuesday.

It’s not the first time this year Woods has needed a mental breather after a tournament. He’s missed the cut in three of the eight events he’s competed in this season, and withdrew because of back discomfort after 11 holes at the Farmers Insurance Open in February.

“Is it frustrating? Yeah, it’s frustrating not to be able to win golf tournaments,” Woods said at a news conference Tuesday in Virginia for his Quicken Loans National tournament. “I’m not really there in contention very often and so that part is frustrating. But I know how close it feels and I know that I just need a couple shots here and there and it turns the tide.”

‘Must’ win Woods prepared for this week’s tournament at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Gainesville, Va., knowing it would take a victory for him just to qualify for next week’s Bridgestone Invitational, a tournament he’s won eight times.

“Unfortunately, I can’t get an invite there unless I win,” said Woods, whose

official world ranking has fallen to 266. “I might as well earn one this week and go out and get it done.”

The Quicken Loans National could be his second-tolast start of the season.

W o o d s , Woods who is on pace to miss the FedEx Cup playoffs, will need to catch fire to prevent his season from concluding at the PGA Championships in two weeks. That’s assuming he doesn’t enter the Wyndham Championship the week after, the last tournament before the playoffs. He said Tuesday he wouldn’t enter the alternate event to the Bridgestone, the Barracuda Championship.

Short game Trouble with the short game plagued the 14-time major champion through the early parts of his season, but after his lackluster showing at St. Andrews — he shot rounds of 76 and 75, 7 over par, to miss the cut — his self-criticism focused on spin rate and attack angles.

“When you can make feel and real the same, that’s always nice,” Woods said. “I play with a lot of feel. That’s how I’ve always played the game. It’s also nice to have the data to back it up. ‘This is what I think this club is doing, this is what I think this ball is doing. Do the numbers

match up?’ ” Woods said he feels healthy and isn’t hindered by anything physically. But he’s still on the road back from back surgery, which cost him three months last year.

“I changed my golf swing and did a polar 180 recovering from back surgery,” he said. “You add those two together, it’s a perfect storm that I’ve had to fight through, both of those at the same time.”

Woods didn’t envision his return to form taking this long.

“I didn’t think it would take this long because I thought I would have my short game earlier, which I didn’t at the very beginning of the year,” Woods said. “You can cover up a lot of different things when you’re chipping and putting well.

Idle time “I haven’t scored very well. I missed cuts. I haven’t done much in the last couple years and so I haven’t played a whole lot of golf in the last couple years. That’s what [caddie] Joey [LaCava] keeps reminding me of, ‘Would you just relax? You haven’t played that much.

You think about it, the times you have played and when you’ve been healthy. … How many tournaments have you been healthy at?

It’s not that big a number.’

“Also, he keeps reminding me you won five times two years ago and so it’s not that far removed. So hopefully, I can start playing the way that I know I can play and start gaining some W’s again.”

Rockies win first game after Tulowitzki trade CHICAGO (AP) — Colorado Rockies manager Walt Weiss expected his team would rebound less than 24 hours after taking a tough loss and trading away their star shortstop.

They did just that.

D.J. LeMahieu had three hits and scored twice to help the Rockies get a win in their first game after trading Troy Tulowitzki, beating Chicago 7-2.

“We’ve done it all year.

We’ve played some of our best games after some of our toughest nights,” Weiss said.

“We talked before the game today and I had a good feeling that our guys would play a nice bounce-back game.

That’s exactly what we did.”

The Rockies were coming off a loss in which they rallied with four runs in the ninth to take the lead, only to lose when Chicago’s Kris Bryant hit a game-winning two-run homer in the bottom of the inning.

Then, Tulowitzki was traded along with right-handed reliever LaTroy Hawkins to the Toronto Blue Jays for Jose Reyes and a package of prospects in a deal reported after Monday night’s game and officially announced earlier Tuesday. Reyes could make his Rockies debut Wednesday in the series

finale.

LeMahieu extended his hitting streak to 18 games with an RBI double as part of a four-run first, tripled in the fifth and singled in the ninth to help Colorado won for the third time in five games.

Daniel Descalso, who started at shortstop in this game, made a leaping grab of a line drive by Bryant to end the seventh inning and strand two runners.

“I think everyone was just excited to play baseball again, take our minds off of what’s been going on,” LeMahieu said. “Walt just said we’ve got a lot of distractions going on right now — not that there isn’t always in this game — but there’s a lot right now, so just to focus on baseball right now. We played really well.”

Yohan Flande (1-1) got his first career victory, giving up a run and four hits while walking three and striking out four in five innings. He came in 0-7 with a 4.97 ERA and was making his first start since Sept. 24.

Nolan Arenado had a two-run double and Nick Hundley added a run-scoring groundout in the first against Dallas Beeler (0-1), recalled earlier Tuesday from Triple-A Iowa.

BERRY: Continued from Page 8A

After a weekend of testing, team doctors and those at the University of Kansas Hospital determined Berry has a mass on the right side of his chest, and the leading consideration was that Berry had lymphoma, a cancer of the immune system.

Berry informed his teammates of his condition, and was placed Berry on the non-football illness list, which ended his season. By

Bird flu proclamation extended until August DES MOINES - On Tuesday, Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad, extended the state’s bird flu disaster proclamation by a month until Aug. Branstad 30, keeping in place state resources for poultry farms recovering from an outbreak of the disease, country’s worst-ever.

Without the extension, the disaster proclamation would have expired on July 31 even though a cleanup had not yet been completed, the governor’s office said in a release.

More than 48 million birds, mostly chickens and turkeys,

have died from highly pathogenic avian influenza or been culled to control its spread since late last year.

Iowa, the country’s top egg-producing state, was the hardest hit with more than 31.7 million birds killed, although the outbreak has stalled with the warmer summer weather.

The state has not had a confirmed case since mid-June.

The State of Disaster Emergency proclamation authorizes the deployment of state resources to deal with the outbreak, including setting up quarantine zones, culling birds and disinfecting farms. It also temporarily loosens some restrictions on disposal of dead birds.

Rainfall totals:

This image from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet shows the amount of precipitation across the state Tuesday. Totals approached 2.5 inches in northern Union County, with as much as 7 inches falling in Adams County.

Adams and Taylor counties are in a flood warning through 4 a.m. Thursday.

Man behind raptor center and Decorah eagle cam has died DECORAH, Iowa (AP) — The man behind the famed eagle cam in northeast Iowa has died.

Scott Fjelstul of Fjelstul Funeral Home said Tuesday that Bob Anderson died Monday at a hospital in Decorah. Anderson was 64.

Fjelstul would not provide the cause of death.

Anderson was executive director and the guiding force behind the Raptor Resource Project. The project installed

its first camera in the eagle nest in 2007. The live video feed showed a nest 80 feet up in a tree overlooking the Decorah Fish Hatchery. The organization says more than 200 million views of the website were made in 2011 from people in 184 countries.

Organization officials say Anderson was proud of his efforts with the Decorah eagles, but “his heart was truly in his peregrine falcon recovery work.”
