Western IA man accuses Omaha priest of sexual abuse

News

December 16th, 2011 by Ric Hanson

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The Catholic Archdiocese of Omaha says an Iowa man claims he was molested by a priest. The archdiocese on Friday announced a Carter Lake, Iowa, man has accused the Rev. Al Salanitro of sexually abusing him in between 1991 and 1994. Deacon Tim McNeil, chancellor of the archdiocese, says the 52-year-old Salanitro denies the allegations. McNeil says Salanitro, pastor of St. Bernadette Catholic Church in Bellevue, has taken a voluntary leave of absence while the allegations are investigated. McNeil says the allegations have been reported to law enforcement and the Archdiocesan Review Board. A letter was mailed Thursday to parishioners and school parents.

Salanitro was ordained in 1989. He has served as pastor in parishes in Blair, Laurel and Omaha.

Iowa’s Parker set to call it quits after bowl game

Sports

December 16th, 2011 by Ric Hanson

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Norm Parker has been the defensive coordinator at Iowa so long that it’s tough to remember who preceded him. But at age 70, Parker maintained Friday that it’s time to move on. Parker – better known as “Norm” to the Hawkeyes- will call it quits after the Insight Bowl against Oklahoma on Dec. 30th.

Parker’s unassuming persona and rock-solid defenses, which ranked in the top 10 in scoring defense in 2008 to 2010, have been a hallmark of the Hawkeyes program. He’ll be remembered fondly by his players and coach Kirk Ferentz.  But Parker says he feels it is time for him to step aside and let someone else have a crack at his job.
