Black bear presence confirmed in northeast Iowa

News

July 18th, 2014 by Ric Hanson

WADENA, Iowa (AP) – The Iowa Department of Natural Resources has confirmed that tracks and fecal matter left near some northeast Iowa beehives came from a black bear. A beekeeper south of Wadena, near the Clayton-Fayette county line, reported that his beehives had been torn up. The fecal matter, or scat, was found within 25 feet of the hives. A neighboring landowner reported tracks and reported seeing a female with two cubs.

The department is trying to confirm the sighting of the cubs, because they would be the first wild cubs documented in Iowa in more than 140 years. The department says black bears have not lived wild in the state since the 1800s.

Hawkeyes deflect preseason hype

Sports

July 18th, 2014 by Ric Hanson

With preseason camp a little more than two weeks away members of the Iowa football team are ignoring predictions for the upcoming season. After posting an 8-5 record a year ago, including a trip to the Outback Bowl, most of the preseason magazines predict another successful campaign for the Hawkeyes but quarterback Jack Rudock says nobody is satisfied with last year’s results. Rudock says he is focused on the present and not looking at the season as a whole.

Defensive end Drew Ott says he does not pay any attention to the preseason hype. The Hawkeyes open the season at home against UNI on August 30th.
