CRAWFORD, Neb. (AP) — Officials say an Iowa man faces fines for shooting a mountain lion out of season in Nebraska. The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission says the 23-year-old man was hunting deer on Saturday at the Ponderosa Wildlife Management Area in Dawes County when the shooting occurred. The man, whose name was not released, contacted law enforcement officials that night. Officials later recovered the body.
The man faces up to $1,500 in fines for shooting in a closed season. Officials believe the female mountain lion had cubs in the vicinity. They are trying to locate them, and will attempt to place them in zoos.
AMES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State fans haven’t had much to cheer about this season. The Cyclones are 0-2 after losses to North Dakota State and Kansas State. At least wide receiver Jarvis West gives them a reason to keep watching.
West caught a 17-yard touchdown pass, returned a punt 82 yards for a touchdown and threw a 29-yard TD pass off a reverse in the first half of Saturday’s 32-28 loss to the Wildcats. West was just the fourth player since 1996 to score in those three ways in one game, according to STATS.
The Cyclones (0-2, 0-1 Big 12) hope to see more of the same from West when they face rival Iowa (2-0) on Saturday.

Officials with the Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) today (Monday) announced a virus that has caused outbreaks in Illinois, Ohio, Kansas and other states is also causing illness in Iowa. Enterovirus EV-D68, like other enteroviruses, appears to spread through close contact with infected people. Enteroviruses, including EV-D68, are not a reportable disease in Iowa or the U.S.; therefore, the number of cases of the virus is not tracked.
EV-D68 often begins like a cold and symptoms include coughing and wheezing; most people will recover at home without complications however, some people with severe respiratory illness caused by EV-D68 may need to be hospitalized and receive intensive supportive therapy. Infants, children, and teenagers, especially those with a history of asthma or those who have a condition that compromises their immune system, are most likely to become severely ill. Parents of children with cold-like symptoms that experience difficulty breathing should contact their health care provider.
There are currently no medications available for treatment for EV-D68 infections and there is no vaccine available for the virus. Most infections resolve on their own and require only treatment at home:
Drink plenty of fluids.
Rest.
Stay home so you do not spread the virus to others.
Clean frequently touched surfaces to stop the spread the spread of the virus at home.
To help reduce the risk of getting infected with EV-D68:
Wash hands often with soap and water for 20 seconds.
Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.
Avoid kissing, hugging, and sharing cups or eating utensils with people who are sick.
Disinfect frequently touched surfaces, such as toys and doorknobs, especially if someone is sick.
Enteroviruses are very common viruses; there are more than 100 types. It is estimated that 10 to 15 million enterovirus infections occur in the United States each year, usually in the summer and fall.
