Iowa native Norman Borlaug, hailed as father of the green revolution, studies sorghum tests in a Texas A M teaching greenhouse in College Station Texas. He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970 for his work against world hunger.
Iowa lawmakers approved placing a bronze Borlaug statue in the National Statuary Hall Collection at the U.S. Capitol. The Cresco native, Nobel laureate and wheat pioneer, would be funded privately with Gov. Branstad naming a commission to select an artist and oversee installation, replacing the James Harlan statue unless changes occur.
Sgt 1st Class Terryl L. Pasker, 39, of Cedar Rapids, died at a security checkpoint in Afghanistan. The Iowa National Guard said an Afghan security officer opened fire. A U S contractor in the same vehicle was also killed. Master Sgt. Todd Kipperle of Marshalltown led the vehicle in front. Pasker was weeks from returning home to Iowa.
Cedar Rapids mother Kim Herr, 38, uses a labeled binder and cost-analysis sheet to clip and organize coupons from newspapers and sites. For seven weeks she has traveled to different stores with hopes of accumulating savings for her husband and three children.
The piece notes a growing couponing trend across the country and Eastern Iowa with shoppers like a Cedar Rapids area resident saving on a $124 purchase to $66. Retailers report higher coupon use amid a slowing economy and popular shows such as Extreme Couponing.
