Donated deer hides help veterans nationwide

By KELSEY HAUGEN CNA staff reporter

khaugen@crestonnews.com

“We aren’t in competition with hide buyers or anyone else; most deer hides, after they’re skinned, are just thrown away,” said John Miller, chaplain of Elks Lodge #290 in Waterloo. “We can use

those hides for veterans instead.

All you have to do is drop the hides off at the nearest Elks Lodge.”

Miller was instrumental in getting Iowa involved in the national Elks Leather Program, which was established in 1948. In 1999, Iowa Elks Lodges began accepting deer

hide donations.

Since 1999, members of the Creston Elks Lodge #605, 403 W Montgomery St., have volunteered to clean, salt and package deer hides donated by local hunters for the national leather program.

Deer hides may be dropped off at the Creston lodge. Just call the lodge first so someone can tell you where to put the hides.

Once the hides are salted and wrapped, they are eventually de-

livered to a tannery and processed into finished leather. After that, there are three ways the leather is used.

“One thing we do is send leather to veterans homes that have requested them as arts and crafts projects,” Miller said. “Second, we have a manufacturer that makes fingerless sports gloves, and we provide those to any veteran in a HIDES | 2A

“The veterans make some really neat stuff using the leather,” said Dave Koets, leading knight of Koets Creston Elks Lodge.

Today, more than 19 states donate or are devel-

oping plans to support the national leather program.

The number of hides being donated is declining in many areas, though.

Creston Elks member D e a n Schulte, who has volunteered to prepare hides for the tannery for Schulte the past eight years, said the Creston Elks Lodge used to get

between 130 and 160 hides every year.

“Last year, I think we only had 40,” Schulte said.

“There are companies out there buying hides now, so that has cut back on the donations of hides, and a lot of people just throw them out. Donating them is just for a good cause.”

The case for change Dear Heloise: I really enjoy reading your column every day and getting all the helpful hints. Here’s one of mine: Most folks change and wash bedsheets weekly or so. I wash just the PILLOWCASES every couple of days. They don’t take up much room and can be washed with other items.

Nothing feels better than a nice, clean, cool pillowcase to lay your head on, especially during allergy or flu season.

This gets rid of germs instead of lying in them night after night for a week. — Mary S., New Madison, Ohio Mary, I’m in full agreement! We have more than 12 pillows on our bed (yes, each dog, Chammy and Henry VIII, has their own!), and that alone takes me 30 minutes to take off, wash/dry and put them back on! — Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O.

Hints from Heloise ily members, some no longer part of the group and so on.

Here is what we do for holiday gift-giving: When the family is gathered, decide on the rules for a Christmas or holiday gift exchange. Decisions such as the dollar amount, who will be participating and a list of what you’d like, along with sizes, are a good start. But there are other factors to consider, too: 1) Draw names or not?

2) Include the children in the exchange?

3) Will there be any outside or new guests participating?

4) Time and place?

This preplanning will remove stress and make the experience much more pleasant for everyone involved. — G.H. in Texas SIZING IN WORK SHIRTS Dear Heloise: How do I remove sizing from work shirts?

The fabric is 60/40 cotton/poly.

These have much more sizing and are more uncomfortable than the same ones I’d bought

LOCKHORNS® by Hoest & Reiner

previously. I have tried hot water, cold water, laundry soap, vinegar, dryer sheets and washing soda. Nothing has touched that sizing. — Tommy C., via email Tommy, they look great in the store (which is what the manufacturers want), but are as stiff as a piece of cardboard!

It usually takes several washings to remove the sizing.

You’ve tried all of the right things. Let’s review the process, though: Let the item SOAK in hot water and vinegar. Fill the sink with water, add 2-3 cups of cheap vinegar and let soak. Rinse and repeat.

Doing so three to four times should break down the sizing.

Do NOT use fabric softener — it only coats the fibers; it will not remove sizing. — HelBEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker oise TOMATO PLANTING Dear Heloise: Here is how I grow tomatoes on my patio: I live in a very small apartment with limited space. When it’s time to plant, I open a bag of potting soil, place a metal cone inside and plant the seeds inside the bag.

The tomatoes grow very nicely, and I usually have extra tomatoes to share with friends and family. — M.H., via email (c)2015 by King Features Syndicate Inc. BLONDIE® by Dean Young

Putting out the fire, in peace...

I’ve never been a smoker. I didn’t even try corn silk back on the farm when I was a kid. I have friends and relatives who do, and when I ask them why they started, they don’t remember and they usually tell me that they would quit if they could. Most have quit many times! In the Quit Smoking classes we do, what brings folks to finally put out the fire are health problems (COPD, emphysema, cancer), relationship problems (the spouse has had it with foul smells), and money. Added to the immediate expense of cigarettes is the increased cost of health care, both out of pocket and for health insurance.

Is smoking a habit or an addiction? What’s the difference?

Here’s how I think about it. When I get dressed in the morning, I usually put my left shoe on first, then my right shoe. If I could think of a good reason for putting on my right shoe first, I know I could easily do it. I’d just write a little note to myself and put it where I’d see it in the morning. My shoe routine is just a habit. Smoking is an addiction. If a smoker runs

Here’s What I Would Do Charles Reinert ND, PhD

out of cigarettes in the midst of a winter blizzard, things can get pretty frantic.

If smoking is addictive, is it to the smell of burning tobacco, to the drug nicotine, to the FEEL of the paper between the lips, maybe even to the sight of the colorful package? Perhaps it’s the chance to take a smoke break with others. I ‘ve noted that most pack-a -day smokers have a last cigarette before bed, then don’t smoke at all until they wake up in the morning, 8 hours later. If it’s just a nicotine addiction, why doesn’t the smoker wake up several times in the night to have a cigarette? Most do just fine for 8 hours of sleep, although they may smoke a dozen or more during the day.

Deep thinkers have convinced me that smoking is done more to simply relieve a feeling of general anxiety, than anything else.

(General anxiety means to me that someone is really anxious and jittery, without knowing why.

They just are!) I don’t know many smokers who can just lean back and “shoot the bull” with others without a cigarette in hand. So, if you’re a smoker and can’t seem to relax without a cigarette, and even if you HAVE a cigarette, it doesn’t quite relax you like you wish it would, is there hope? Can you learn to calm those anxious nerves and simply enjoy Life, without holding a burning paper wrapped piece of leaf between the fingers? That’s a YES for most people who are willing to practice.

Here are some self-help hints, as a first step in quitting: First of all, simply BREATHING DEEPLY can help you relax. It’s been suggested that one of the big benefits of taking a big smoke drag is that a nice big deep breath is part of that process. We begin our smoking cessation classes by having the students experience how relaxing a deep breath feels.

Second, you can take relaxation to a deeper level with what we call meditation-- relaxing the whole

body piece by piece until you’re limp as a dishrag. That helps too.

A tapping technique called EFT can be a third means of training the mind/body to relax. Simple, positive statements about health are also beneficial, as in “Relaxation is comfortable for me; I love to relax!” And, intentionality can be really helpful, as with “It is my Intention to be smoke free for the next hour!” (Take it one hour at a time if you need to!) Know that your subconscious is listening to everything you are thinking and saying to yourself, and it tries to please you. If you need to fix your car, you want more than just a pair of pliers and a screwdriver in your tool box to get the job done.

So it is for weaning yourself from smoking-- the more tools you have to help you, the better it works!

One of the best tools for smoking cessation is hypnosis. When folks ask if it works, we usually respond, “Hypnosis works IF you are sure you’re ready to quit, for your own good reasons.” Be prepared to invest the dollar equivalent of a couple of cartons of smokes to get the job done. Most

therapists will guarantee their work, IF you can show evidence that you’ve done your homework.

If you quit smoking, will you soon take up some other addiction, such as alcohol or food? Many experts put smoking, alcohol and food in the same bucket. If you get rid of one addiction, be ready for another, UNLESS you have done something to quell that basic anxiety gnawing at your innards like a hungry beaver. Whatever you do, be sure that you’re actually dealing with the anxiety that caused your smoking in the first place. That anxiety can have its roots way back in childhood, with emotional or physical abuse by a sibling, parent or another school student. Get help in cleaning out the garbage. It won’t take long.

Find a therapist who can help you with that cleaning-- EFT is one of the best tools I know of to accomplish that job.

Just recently, researchers at Johns Hopkins University claimed that people altered the physical state of their intestinal biome, where trillions of bacteria live, by taking too many antibiotics during childhood. Seems that when this antibiotic altered state happens, one result is excess weight gain. Here’s how that works.

If your child has a bacterial infection (say, an ear infection) and takes an antibiotic to appropriately kill harmful, spreading microbes, there’s collateral damage to good gut bacteria. And their loss can affect the way a person’s whole biome breaks down food -- a basic function of gut bacteria -- and that can lead to weight gain. Young kids are the most susceptible.

After reviewing health data on over 163,000 children 3-18 years old, the researchers found that kids’ body mass index increased throughout teen years as their use of antibiotics increased. To be specific, the more antibiotics taken during childhood, the greater the teenage weight gain.

So, what should parents of a sick child do? First, don’t insist that your doctor provide antibiotics when they’re not appropriate -- say, for a viral infection or a bacterial infection that will resolve on its own. And if the doctor does prescribe antibiotics, make sure they’re completely necessary. Then

ask about taking an appropriate probiotic during and after that antibiotic use.

It will help correct your child’s altered state and restore biome balance.

HOW TO KEEP YOUR HAPPINESS FROM ERODING Songs like the 1960s favorite from The Turtles, “Happy Together,” and the 2013 chart-buster from Pharrell Williams, “Happy,” raise our spirits and reaffirm how important happiness is. And scientists agree: Research shows gleeful joy and quiet pleasure dispel stress, bolster cardio health and help you make healthier lifestyle choices.

But ironically, pursuing happiness doesn’t make you happier. It’s better to aim for experiences or accomplishments that develop inner resources you need for living well. That’s how happiness happens.

Unfortunately, a recent study says happiness is on the decline for folks over 30. Researchers analyzed data gathered from 19722014 on 1.3 million Americans ages 13-96. They found that the old saying that you get happier as you get older stopped being true around 2010!

Why? Perhaps the fast and fleeting relationships of the digital age (Snapchat!) seem exciting to younger folks, but deprive mature people of the community and stability they desire. Or maybe expectations in this era of “Why aren’t YOU a dot.com millionaire by now?” are so high that they can’t be

met, which sinks in after age 30.

Whatever the cause, it’s time to take steps to get happier. Walking 10,000 steps a day for five days a week boosts self-confidence, dispels stress and fuels physical and emotional strength. So can eliminating the Five Food Felons, as can doing work you enjoy and spending time with friends and family. So write a list of activities, experiences, social or work interactions that will provide you with a sense of satisfaction. There’s your bouquet list! Now let happiness bloom.

HPV VACCINE STANDS TALL AGAINST SCIENTIFIC SCRUTINY Legend has it that Paul Bunyan created the Great Lakes as a watering hole for his blue ox, Babe, and dug the Grand Canyon as a drainage ditch. To honor those feats, a 50-foot statue of Paul and a 35-foot one of Babe stand tall in California’s Redwood National Park. And just like those statues, the amazingly accomplished HPV vaccine is standing tall after careful review by the European Medicines Agency.

Reports have been circulating about a possible connection between the HPV vaccine and complex regional pain syndrome and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome. But after careful review by the EMA, the experts concluded there’s no causeand-effect link between those afflictions and the vaccine.

Turns out, says the report, that CRPS and POTS afflict the general public at the same rate as they affect those who are vaccinated -- no more and no less.

About 150 girls in a million ages 10-18 get CRPS and 150 get POTS annually.

Now, ask yourself, if some of those girls are diagnosed right after seeing a scary movie, did the movie cause their syndrome?

Over 80 million girls and women worldwide have received the HPV vaccine, and the number of cases of genital warts and cancer of the cervix, throat and anus that it prevents far outweighs any risk. So let’s make protection of young people -- boys and girls --from HPV a priority. The vaccine stands tall as one of the most legendary accomplishments of modern medicine. Ask your doc if your children should receive it.

SPITTIN’ IMAGE Major League Baseball tried to ban chewing tobacco in 2011, but players like the Red Sox’ David Ortiz and Giants’ pitchers Madison Bumgarner and Jake Peavy still chaw and spit and spit and spit. Fortunately, many dugouts are discouraging dippin’; they’re stocked with sunflower seeds and bubble gum instead. In a single season, the Cleveland Indians go through 10 cases of Bazooka bubble gum (regular and sugarless) and 12 cases of sunflower seeds. Seems spitting seeds keeps things as juicy as ever, but much healthier!

Now, we’re actually against expectoration, since saliva is best kept in your mouth! A new study reveals that mucous in your saliva traps harmful bacteria and fungi in what

researchers call NETs, keeping them from getting into your body! That’s why it’s so important to keep your mouth moist, producing sufficient saliva. It keeps your microbiome in there balanced, happy and healthy.

What can interfere with sufficient saliva? Many meds do, including antidepressants, drugs for nerve pain and anxiety, some antihistamines, decongestants, muscle relaxants and pain medications. It also might happen because of an autoimmune condition called Sjogren’s syndrome or HIV/AIDS. And, oh yes, chewing tobacco (and smoking) can dry you out, too.

To ease dry mouth, talk to your doc about the side effects of your meds; try over-the-counter rinses, artificial saliva or moisturizers; or ask your doc about prescription meds that stimulate saliva production. Then have a sunflower seed! They’re packed with potassium, magnesium and vitamin B-6! But hold on to your saliva; you need it.

BAD NEWS: YOU GOTTA HAVE THAT SEX TALK; GOOD NEWS: IT WORKS! When Cut Video taped young kids and their parents having the birds-andbees talk, 10 million folks went to YouTube to see moms and dads struggling with the facts of life, and kids struggling to understand.

Mother 1: How did Mommy and Daddy make you?

Daughter 1: Magic.

Father 2: What makes me a man and your mother a woman?

Daughter 2: Your hands are bigger?

Father 3: So there’s nothing from me you want to know about sex or how people have babies?

Son 3: I do not want to know!

As tough as that sex talk is, fast-forward to when your kids are preteens or teens. You know when they’re that age you need to discuss why to wait, what’s safe and how to avoid pregnancy. (Fully 32 percent of ninth-graders in the U.S. have sexual relations, and there are around 600,000 unintended teen pregnancies annually.) But there is good news.

A recent study found that when moms talk to adolescents about sex, it helps protect kids (especially girls) from unsafe sexual practices. Other research shows that talking about birth control and pregnancy helps kids postpone having sex.

So be brave! Ask questions (don’t lecture), and listen to what your tween or teen has to say. Then share your thoughts and ideas, focusing on the facts about relationships and sex. You’ll remember those talks with your kids (we sure do), and you’ll be glad you had them. It’s an important part of providing your kids with a bright and hopeful future. *** Mehmet Oz, M.D. is host of “The Dr. Oz Show,” and Mike Roizen, M.D. is Chief Wellness Officer and Chair of Wellness Institute at Cleveland Clinic.

NATIONAL DIGEST

UCLA revenge LOS ANGELES (AP) — Steve Alford barely mentioned last year’s 39-point drubbing by Kentucky and showed no video of it in preparing UCLA for the rematch.

The memory was already seared in the minds of the players who endured the humiliation.

The Bruins came out strong and upset the Wildcats 87-77 on Thursday night for their first victory over a No. 1 team since 2003.

“This win is very, very special just because of what happened last year,” Alford said. “Not only were they the number one team in the country, we had seven points in the (first) half last year.”

Thomas Welsh led five Bruins in double figures with 21 points and 11 rebounds.

Verdict overturned JOHANNESBURG (AP) An appeals court decided Thursday that Oscar Pistorius got away with murder when he stood trial for killing his girlfriend, a ruling that will almost certainly send the disgraced Olympian back to prison.

The court overturned his conviction on the lesser charge of manslaughter in the 2013 shooting death of model Reeva Steenkamp and instead found Pistorius guilty of murder.

The latest dramatic twist in the case of the double amputee runner was “a human tragedy of Shakespearean proportions,” wrote Justice Lorimer Eric Leach.

Pistorius, who is under house arrest at his uncle’s mansion in Pretoria, was not in the Bloemfontein courtroom for the verdict.

Steenkamp’s mother, June, sat impassively as Leach read the verdict.

The 29-year-old Pistorius served one year of a five-year sentence before being put under house arrest in October.

After struggling throughout much of the 2014-15 season, the Creston/O-M bowling teams ended the season with a bang, as the girls team finished third in Class 1A at the Co-ed State Bowling Meet and senior Ashley Knipfer placed third individually.

Then-junior Blake Eddy qualified for the state meet as an individual for the boys team.

Knipfer and Jenna Hayes are graduated from last year’s third-place girls team, but the Panthers have increased numbers out this year, creating more competition for varsity spots on both the boys and girls sides.

Creston/O-M, which opens the season Saturday at Val Lanes in West Des Moines against Norwalk, has 15 girls out and 13 boys out this year. By comparison, the Panthers struggled to fill out a full boys team at times last year.

“Last year we weren’t near those numbers,” head coach Ron Pendegraft said.

“That’s encouraging. We have some with a little bowling experience, some that have none. But I think we’ll be all right.”

Among the returners this year are three seniors who have three years of state meet experience.

Eddy, Madison Hance and Charley Parcher have all bowled at the state meet

every year of their careers.

That experience is valuable for the Panthers as they look to end their seasons back at the state meet.

“Every year we go up there and bowl well,” Pendegraft said. “I’m not really sure what it is about that place (Plaza Lanes in Des Moines), but our kids just thrive up there. It feels like when we’re up there, that’s where we should be.”

Pendegraft said with his teams practicing and holding home meets at Pine Valley this year, the Panthers will be better prepared for the lane conditions at Plaza Lanes. The lane conditions at Pine Valley are very similar to those at Plaza Lanes.

Girls

Four of the six girls who competed on last year’s third-place team at the state meet return this year.

Hance, Parcher, Alex Miller and Emily Stults are all back from that thirdplace team.

“Charley and Madison are both as good as they’ve e v e r been,” Pendegraft said.

“They’ve c o n t i n - Hance ued to improve over the last three years.

They’re right about where they left off last year. The only thing we need to work BOWLING | 9A

Running backs: Start ’em, sit ’em for week 13 in fantasy football

By SCOTT LEVINE Against the Chalk

Adrian Peterson and C.J. Anderson blew by other running backs in fantasy football in week 12.

Peterson proved again why he was the most deserving No. 1 pick in fantasy football this season with a 30-point performance against the Atlanta Falcons. Anderson did his damage on the national stage with a big performance on Sunday night against the New England Patriots.

With Anderson seemingly back to his form from last year, he should be a solid start. Peterson will face a stingy Seattle defense, but he’s consistently the top start in fantasy football, so don’t think too much about his place on your team.

Here’s our week 13 start

’em, sit ’em guide for running backs in fantasy football.

Start Darren McFadden vs.

Washington Redskins Are you worried about McFadden’s fantasy value without quarterback Tony Romo?

Don’t be.

He was one of the bright spots on the offense without Romo in the lineup.

Since taking over the majority of the duties at the running back position, McFadden has generated double-digit fantasy points in four of six games.

And despite his troubles last week at home against the Carolina Panthers in

the rushing department, we’re not worried about this week’s game against the Redskins. Everyone is dismissing the Cowboys at this point, but we’re not ready to give up just yet. Dallas wasn’t that bad without Romo.

It competed well. It just couldn’t finish games.

We still believe in Dallas’ ability to compete well against the opposition, and with a game at Washington, we’re backing McFadden. The Redskins are fifth-worst against the run, allowing more than 125 yards per game on the ground.

Washington also allows 4.7 yards per carry, the

fourth-highest amount in the NFL. Don’t dismiss the Cowboys and McFadden just yet.

Javorius Allen vs. Miami Dolphins Baltimore will keep playing hard. We’re confident in that.

With all the new people in the lineup, they’re auditioning for jobs. Miami, meanwhile, is not giving us any indication that it will give the Ravens its full focus.

Miami has been a dumpster fire this season and recently fired its offensive coordinator. And that defense isn’t getting any better. The Dolphins have al-

lowed 138 yards per game this season on the ground, tied for the worst mark in the NFL with Cleveland.

That should open the door for Allen, who has gone for double-digit fantasy points in both games as a the main option for the Ravens. Don’t worry about the Ravens quitting.

Allen will be competing for future playing time this month, so the Dolphins should have his full attention.

Sit Antonio Andrews vs.

Jacksonville Jaguars The inconsistency of Tennessee’s running game, coupled with the Jaguars solid rush defense, is the reason why we’re avoiding Andrews this week.

When you and both of your sons have degrees from the University of Iowa, this 12-0 season is beyond imagination.

It’s so far out of the scope of even the ultimate optimists coming off 7-6 in 2014, with disgruntled fans nipping at coach Kirk Ferentz’s heels.

There have been so many special moments along this incredible 12-0 journey that no matter what happens Saturday or in the postseason, it’s something I’ll never forget.

It all started last summer when via Facebook, some of us who “grew up” for two years on the H400 wing of Hillcrest dorm in the late 1970s reconnected and had a great idea. Let’s get together for a Hawkeye football game!

The 6-5, 290-pound second team allstater is a sopho m o r e and was Downing a unani m o u s all-district selection in Class 3A District 8.

“They’re going through the process of watching film on kids that are underclassmen, and if you’re really good as a sophomore, you’ll get D-I interest now and Trevor fits that billing,” Creston/O-M head coach Brian Morrison said. “I’m sure other D-I schools will be here and he will have a list to choose

from. I’m sure when Iowa is done playing they will be on the trail, too. It’s good to see.”

Panther offensive coordinator Ryan McKim, a former recruiting assistant and graduate assistant coach at Iowa State, is friends with ISU’s Mitch Moore, director of high school relations, and knew coaches would be expressing interest in Downing.

“They came to the school and talked to us,” McKim said. “Right now they can’t talk to (recruits) or see them at school, but after they stopped in they contacted Trevor by phone and extended the offer.

He wouldn’t do his official visit until his senior year, but I’m sure he’ll be up to campus before that. It’s a priority of the new staff to get the top guys evaluated in Iowa. Trevor has a lot of upside.”

on is the mental part of the game. They have to stay aggressive, stay focused and bowl their kind of game with confidence.”

Hance led the Panthers last year with an average two-game series of 336.8.

Parcher ranked third on the team with her average series of 304.3. Miller averaged a series of 265.6 and Stults finished the season with an average of 242.7.

Livi Hartman, Kim Orr and Mariah Harlan, a senior who is out for the first time, will all be in the mix competing for the final two spots on varsity.

“The girls, I don’t think anything is going to be new.

The girls that were competing last year at the varsity level are back,” Pendegraft said. “We lost Jenna and Ashley, but Livi Hartman and Kim Orr are filling right in. I don’t think we’ll miss a beat with that. We have an abundance of girls this year who are bowling well.

They’re doing a good job of talking to each other and helping one another, too.”

On the boys team, pinning down a varsity spot will be much tougher this year with increased participation numbers.

The Panthers competed with just four boys at times last year. With 13 out this year, Creston/O-M has the ability to field a full team each time out.

Eddy, Reece Kramer, Dylan Linch, Jonathan Seals, David Qualseth and Evan Taylor all saw varsity action at times last year.

Newcomers Kyle Fenton, Zac Hague, Austin Eblen and Travontay Wright will all be in the varsity mix, as well.

Eddy is the clear frontrunner on the boys side after averaging 176.5 per game and Eddy 352.9 per two-game series last year.

“I’m going to go out on a limb and say Blake has the potential to average well

over 200 this year, because of the improvements he’s made,” Pendegraft said.

“Depending on lane conditions at other places, that will have an effect on it. He’s an intelligent enough kid about the game and has developed good technique. He stays calm, stays within himself when he’s bowling. I really think he’ll do well.”

Kramer averaged a twogame series score of 290.9 last year, while Seals averaged a series of 249.8 after coming on at the end of the season. Linch finished the year with an average series of 229.3 and Taylor averaged a 203.0. Qualseth, in just six games, averaged a series of 195.0.

With Eddy, Kramer and Seals forming a solid top three for the Panthers, there is a large pack of varsity contenders who could shuffle in and out of the varsity lineup.

“They’re all kind of in the same range, so it’s kind of whoever breaks out,” Pendegraft said. “You’ve got the pack and once in awhile, someone will break out and kind of lead for awhile.

Then someone else will get hot and they’ll do it for awhile.”

Friday night, took a tour of the dorm early Saturday, and then went to the game together.

Most of us had not seen each other since 1978, although my off campus roommate for a year after that, Ed Baker now of Louisville, was also there. He and I were pall bearers for our third roomate, Bob Long of Humboldt, who died in a Peace Corps fire in Liberia a year after graduation.

All three of us were in our apartment that day in 1979 when Bob Commings’ successor was hired, and we said, “Who the heck is Hayden Fry?” We found out soon enough.

What a great time we all

had in September, reliving memories from such a special period of our lives. Icing on the cake was a 57-yard field goal beating Pittsburgh.

We didn’t celebrate like we did at age 20, but we gave it a shot. When we parted, we had no idea the rest of the season would play out like this. I figured it would be a string of close games, hoping that a majority would go our way.

Then our family attended the Illinois and Maryland games together, and things continued to go well.

Then came the unique atmosphere of the “Blackout” game under the lights against Minnesota, the 40-35 shootout. I shot photos from the sideline and got to talk to walk-on linebacker Jacob Sobotka of Mount Ayr. He said even as a player he noticed memorable

things like the spontaneous lighting of cell phone flashlights against the Blackout backdrop, and how the “I-OW-A” chant rang around the stadium for several minutes after a touchdown in the second half. Quite a scene in Kinnick, hauling another trophy to the dressing room tunnel in front of appreciative fans in the southwest corner after the game.

The Black Friday game at Nebraska was another mini-reunion of the Hillcrest dorm crew, as three of the four in our party were from that group. For me, to attend a game in Memorial Stadium, was a bucket list item I hadn’t checked off yet.

To do it with old friends at a Hawkeye victory capping a 12-0 regular season was something to behold. Back when I lived among a throng of Nebraska fans in Atlan-

Southwest Iowa fishing report The Iowa Department of Natural Resources issues a weekly fishing report on Thursdays in an effort to provide the latest information heading into the weekend.

The weekly fishing report is compiled from information gathered from local bait shops, angler creel surveys, and county and state parks staff. For current information, contact the district fisheries office at the phone number listed at the end of each district report.

For lake locations, maps and other information, go to www.iowadnr.gov/Fishing/FishingReports.aspx.

SOUTHWEST Lake Petoka Rainbow Trout - Good: Trout were stocked on October 16th. They are being caught on a variety of methods including small tube and twister jigs, in-line spinners, casting spoons, and live minnows under a bobber.

Ada Hayden Heritage Park Lake Rainbow Trout - Good: Trout were stocked on November 19th. They are being caught on a variety of methods including small tube and twister jigs, in-line spinners, casting spoons, and live minnows under a bobber.

Red Rock Reservoir Crappie - Fair: There is a good size population of 10-13 inch black crappies.

Fish live minnows or vertical jig with small tube jigs or ice fishing tackle around the marina docks.

Banner Lake (south) Rainbow Trout - Good: Trout were stocked on October 15th. They are being caught on a variety of methods including small tube and twister jigs,

in-line spinners, casting spoons, and live minnows under a bobber.

Des Moines River (Saylorville to Red Rock) Walleye - Fair: Fall is a great time to target actively feeding walleyes in the rivers. Use slow presentations of 1/16 to 1/4 oz. jigs tipped with minnows or twister tails. Slow retrieves on diving crank baits is another good option. Target areas of water deeper than 4 feet out of or on the edge of the main current.

The open water season is winding down in central Iowa. More fishing reports will be added when the ice fishing season begins.

For information on central Iowa lakes and rivers, contact Andy Otting or Ben Dodd at 515-432-2823.

tic in the 1980s, I could only dream of such an experience.

Believe me, I took a lot of Hawkeye heckling in those days from Husker Nation.

So, the rest of this season is gravy. Nothing can erase the special experiences we’ve already had.

Saturday’s game

But, I’m not counting out the underdog Hawks in the Big Ten championship game. Iowa has gotten to 12-0 by not making mistakes that turn field position, an effective running game that’s allowed timely play-action passes, and good special teams play. The defense has been a little leaky against the pass, and the pass rush worries me against this Spartan offensive line.

Iowa does lead the Big Ten in pass interceptions (17), inflated by getting four from Tommy Armstrong Jr. last

yards. We’re not expecting that same output this week.

Against Oakland’s porous rush defense, Andrews averaged less than 3 yards per carry last week. That’s about where we expect him this week.

We’re expecting more out of quarterback Marcus Mariota this week, so Andrews’ work will be limited.

Jacksonville allows only 3.3 yards per carry, the lowest average in the NFL. While Jacksonville has done well against the run, it has been bad against the pass, allowing the seventh-most passing yards per game.

IOWA: CONT. FROM | 9A

this season, the highly-touted NFL prospect became the first Spartans quarterback to earn first-team all-conference honors since 1965. He’d rather keep Michigan State in line to play for its first national championship since 1966 by winning his second Big Ten title in three years.

Iowa: QB C.J. Beathard.

The junior doesn’t have all the gaudy numbers. But he doesn’t make many mis-

takes, either, and that could be the key against Michigan State’s opportunistic defense. If Beathard finds some holes in the Spartans secondary, the Hawkeyes could put together another stunning chapter in this shocking season.

FACTS & FIGURES Iowa is making its first Big Ten championship game appearance. ... Michigan State is 1-1 in title games, winning the 2013 crown by upsetting then-undefeated Ohio State. ... Beathard is 13-0 as starter and is the

first player in school history to win his first 13 starts. ..Cook needs one more TD pass to tie Kirk Cousins’ single-season record for TD passes. ... The Spartans are 6-1 in last seven vs.

Top 10 teams and have won eight of their last 10 against ranked opponents. ... Three Iowa players (Jordan Canzeri, Akrum Wadley and LeShun Daniels) have each rushed for 195 yards in a game this season, making Iowa the first FBS team to achieve that feat since LSU in 1997. ... Michigan State’s

senior class has won 42 games and can break a tie to become winningest class in school history Saturday. ... Iowa finished the regular season undefeated for first time since 1922 and only the fifth time in school history. ... The Spartans and Hawkeyes each finished with turnover margins of plus-1.17 per game, tied for the Big Ten lead and fourth in the nation. ___ AP college football website: collegefootball.ap.org

Packers beat Lions 27-23 on Rodgers-to-Rodgers Hail Mary

By LARRY LAGE AP Sports Writer

DETROIT (AP) — Aaron Rodgers took the shotgun snap on an untimed down with no time left, shuffled to his left, slipped a sack, rolled right and heaved a pass that seemed as high as it was long.

Richard Rodgers, drifting toward the end zone while teammates and opponents crowded behind him, leaped and made the catch on the 61-yard play to give the Green Bay Packers a stunning 27-23 victory over the Detroit Lions on Thursday night.

“I knew I was going to have to buy some time to allow them to get into the end zone,” A a r o n R o d g ers said.

“I knew once I got outside the right A. Rodgers that I was going to be able to set up and throw.”

The Packers got one more shot to win after Detroit defensive end Devin Taylor was called for grabbing Aaron Rodgers’ facemask on a tackle on what would’ve been the last play.

The Packers (8-4) had lost four of five.

“Unfortunately, this counts as one win,” Pack-

ers coach Mike McCarthy said. “It feels like more.”

The Lions (4-8) had won three straight and blew a chance to sweep the season series for the first time since 1991.

“Tough one to lose,” Lions coach Jim Caldwell said. “Those are the ones that eat at you. The guys are upset because they gave so much, but we needed one more play. It is never over in this league.”

Matthew Stafford connected with Calvin Johnson on his second touchdown pass of the first quarter to help Detroit build a 20-point lead that it couldn’t keep.

“Not an easy pill to swallow,” Stafford said.

Aaron Rodgers scored on a 17-yard run with 3:04 left, pulling the Packers within two points.

Stafford connected with TJ Jones to convert a thirdand-12 from the Detroit 18 after Green Bay called its final timeout with 2:54 to go. The Lions needed one more first down to seal the victory, but Green Bay forced them to punt and got the ball back on the 21 with 23 seconds left.

Following two incompletions, including one in which Detroit appeared to get away with pass interference, Aaron Rodgers threw a pass to James Jones, who lateraled it to Richard Rodgers, who tossed it back to the quar-

terback with no one behind him to lateral it again to keep the play alive.

But Taylor grabbed Aaron Rodgers’ facemask, giving the Packers another play.

“I wasn’t able to get away from those guys, but luckily my facemask was grabbed,” the two-time MVP said.

Richard Rodgers Sr. had to like what he saw of his son’s winning catch on the all-University of California connection. The elder Rodgers threw two laterals on the final play of the Cal-Stanford in 1982, when the game ended with the Cardinal band on the field and the Bears winning 2520 in 1982.

Western Michigan’s band performed at halftime of the Packers-Lions game, but it wasn’t on the field at the end of the heart-pounding finish at Ford Field.

Aaron Rodgers scrambled long enough to give his receivers time to sprint to the end zone and got to the outside. He planted his foot at about the Green Bay 36 and got it into the end zone, where his tight end found a way to get to it in front of a slew of players from both teams and leaped for the catch.

“I’ve never had a completed Hail Mary before,” Aaron Rodgers said.

He has now much to Caldwell’s chagrin.

“We weren’t in a position to get our hands on it,” Caldwell lamented.

Aaron Rodgers finished 24 of 36 for 289 yards with two TDs and an interception.

Stafford was 23 of 35 for 220 yards and two scores.

He also lost a fumble.

Detroit went ahead 17-0 after its first three drives and capped the opening possession of the third quarter with a field goal to go ahead 20-0.

It wasn’t a big enough cushion.

NOTES: The Packers scored their first points with 5:44 left in the third when James Starks fumbled and Randall Cobb recovered it in the end zone. ... Aaron Rodgers perfectly lofted a 17-yard pass over linebacker Josh Bynes to Davante Adams for his first TD reception this season to pull the Packers within six points late in the third. ... Lost in the loss will be Johnson’s 17-yard TD catch in the first quarter in which he leaped the catch it with two hands, squeezed the ball with only his right hand as he planted his right foot and dragged his left on the side of the end zone. ___ AP NFL website: www. pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL ___ Follow Larry Lage at http://www.twitter.com/larrylage
