Sports

April 25th, 2023 by Ric Hanson

Iowa State quarterback Hunter Dekers felt it was a productive spring for the Cyclone offense. There are three new position coaches for an offense that ranked last in the Big-12 during last season’s 4-8 record.

New offensive coordinator Nate Scheelhaase hopes to jump start a unit that averaged just over 20 points per game last season.

Top women hurdlers prepare for Drake Relays

Sports

April 25th, 2023 by Ric Hanson

Two of the top women’s hurdlers in the world compete in Saturday afternoon’s 100 hurdles at the Drake Relays. American Nia Ali is the 2019 world champion and has been a regular at Drake.

The former Olympic silver medalist has remained competitive on the world stage despite her growing family. Her youngest child is nearly two.

Ali’s bid for a second straight world championship ended in Eugene, Oregon last year when she clipped two hurdles in a heat race. She opened this season by winning at a meet in Florida.

Ali says she enjoys competing in front of the large crowds at Drake.

Jamaica’s Tobi Amusan will be competing at Drake for the first time as reigning world champion and world record holder. She does not feel any pressure because of it.

Bill would require cities to get state permits for traffic cameras

News

April 25th, 2023 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) – A bill has emerged in the state legislature that would regulate traffic enforcement cameras that catch vehicles speeding and running red lights. For the past 12 years, attempts to ban the cameras have failed, but Republican Senator Mike Klimesh, of Spillville, says it appears the House may accept a state permitting process for operating traffic cameras.

“It has a pretty good chance of getting done this year,” Klimesh says, “and, if not this year…it’s going to be a live round next year and we’ll take it back up again and try to finish it off next year.” Cities would have to prove a traffic camera’s location is related to improving safety in the area to get a permit from the Iowa D-O-T. Klimesh says the bill will establish what fines may be charged on traffic cam tickets.

The bill outlines a way for vehicle owners to make someone else pay the fine. “We’ve made a provision in the bill that allows people to acctually go down a path to show: ‘Hey, yes it was my vehicle but no, I was not driving. Here’s an affidavit to prove that. Send the bill on to this gentleman,'” Klimesh says. Senator Adrian Dickey, a Republican from Packwood, is a reluctant supporter of the developing compromise. He’d like to ban traffic cameras in Iowa.”These are revenue generators locally and that’s exactly what these damned things are,” Dickey says.

Senator Cindy Winckler, a Democrat from Davenport, is a reluctant supporter of the bill. She’s concerned about restricting the use of mobile traffic cameras in Iowa’s smaller communities. “One of the things that I think we have to be very careful of is that continual intrusion into local control,” Winckler says.

The bill has cleared a Senate subcommittee, but lawmakers are discussing some changes to the plan before it would be debated by the full Senate. The first attempt to ban traffic cameras stalled in a senate subcommittee in 2011. In 2015, the Iowa D-O-T ordered several Iowa cities to turn off traffic cameras along primary highways and interstates, but in 2018 the Iowa Supreme Court ruled the legislature had not given the agency authority to regulate traffic cameras.

Atlantic Head Coach Ed Den Beste: “This was the best weather day that we have had to play this year.  Hoping for some low scores.  It was tough today with the green.  We had some struggles adjusting to the speed and how to chip today.  It took us several holes to make those adjustments.  I thought Hudson had a solid round today being that he had never played the course.  Roth also played well.  Had a few too many double bogeys that hurt his overall score.  Tristan didn’t play his best.  Just couldn’t get it going.  Cruz rebounded well after last week.  Hopefully he continues to play better.  I thought Tate did fine with his score.  Missed a short putt to keep it in the 80s but still solid for our 6th golfer.  Sam had to adjust the the length of the course.  It was his first time as well.  I would have liked our team score to be lower but compared to other scores, not that bad.  This was a good test for us.  Lots of teams we will see in several tournament as well as our road to state.”
