(Iowa DNR News) – Thousands of Iowans will be camping and building campfires this Memorial Day weekend and throughout the summer. The Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) encourages campers to buy firewood from where they will burn it instead of bringing it from home. Tivon Feeley, DNR forest health forester says “Moving unseasoned firewood around the state can threaten the health of our forests by spreading insects like emerald ash borer that live in firewood.”
The emerald ash borer (EAB) is a small, metallic-green, invasive wood-boring beetle native to east Asia that attacks and kills ash trees. It attacks trees of any size, age, or stage of health. The spread of EAB into uninfected areas has been primarily through people moving firewood from county to county or state to state. Feelet said “These pests don’t move far on their own, but they can travel hundreds of miles in a single day in contaminated firewood.” Plenty of firewood is available locally to your favorite state or county park. Ask a park ranger or campground host where to get firewood locally. Make sure to burn all firewood at the campsite and not leave it or transport to a new area.
The Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship requires all firewood sold or acquired in Iowa to have the county and state of harvest location on the label of packages and the delivery ticket for bulk firewood. Learn more about emerald ash borer and why not to move firewood on the DNR website at www.iowadnr.gov/eab.

(Radio Iowa) – For the fourth time in her record-setting career, Iowa-born astronaut Peggy Whitson is now onboard the International Space Station, this time as the first female commander of a private space mission. During a question-and-answer session with Texas elementary schoolers, Whitson urged the students to challenge themselves to do things they don’t know how to do, saying, “if you fail at something, you learn something from it and you’ll be better the next time.”
The 63-year-old from Beaconsfield talked with the kids about the wide array of scientific experiments they’re conducting, as well as changes she’s noticing about the orbiting station, and how easy it is to adapt to microgravity.
Prior to this mission, Whitson held the record for spending a total of 665 days in space, more than any other U.S. astronaut, and she’s adding to the total on this 12-day trip. She and her three crewmates are scheduled to return home next week.

Iowa baseball coach Rick Heller was mulling over his pitching options as the Hawkeyes get ready for Saturday morning’s semifinal round of the Big Ten Tournament in Omaha. Iowa plays Indiana of Michigan beginning at 9-a.m., and with a victory would advance to Sunday’s title game. A loss this morning would force a second semifinal game Saturday night.
Marcus Morgan started Tuesday’s win over Michigan and Brody Brecht started Thursday’s win over Indiana. Third starter Ty Langenberg is ready to go.
Heller says they are discussing options.
Heller says one option would be to save Langenberg for the fourth game and use the bullpen Saturday morning.
