The Cougars huddled up after celebrating Gettler’s 1,000 point milestone

The CAM Cougars won a Girls 1A Region 7 Quarterfinal game over Stanton on Tuesday night 76-42. Madison Gettler needed 24 points coming in to the game to get to 1,000 for her career and the junior dropped in 25 to reach that milestone. Gettler was the leading scorer in a game that started off nearly flawless for the Cougars. CAM raced out to a 27-9 lead by the end of the first quarter and were up 46-23 at halftime. Shooting was hot early and the Cougars hit 6 of their first 8 attempts from long range and Gettler took care of the paint with 10 points in the opening quarter.

CAM also got 24 points from Paige McAfee and 9 each for Zoey Baylor and Sami Jahde. CAM improved to 18-4 with the win and will move on to the Regional Semifinals on Friday night. Their opponent will be a familiar one as they square off with the Exira-EHK Spartans in Elk Horn at 7:00pm Friday. We’ll have that game for you on KJAN.

The Viqueens were led by 13 points from Hope Ogletree and 9 from Savanna Moffett in the loss. Stanton ends their season with an 8-13 record.

Des Moines – The Iowa Department of Natural Resources has confirmed the public library at 707 Iowa Ave., in Onawa, as a location for the wildlife rules public meeting on February 21. The meeting provides a setting for the DNR to listen to the public’s thoughts on hunting and trapping regulations for this fall. The 19 meeting sites include Altoona, Atlantic, Boone, Burlington, Calmar, Chariton, Council Bluffs, Creston, DeWitt, Knoxville, Lake View, Onawa, Ottumwa, Peosta, Sheldon, Solon, Spencer, Tripoli and Ventura. Complete locations are available online at www.iowadnr.gov

These meetings are part of the process for making rules in state government. The meeting is from 6 to 9 p.m. “Any rule changes must be discussed with Iowa’s citizens who might be impacted by the changes before the rule changes are proposed. The process helps ensure that rule changes serve the public’s wishes and do not impact Iowa’s economy,” said Todd Bishop, chief of the wildlife bureau. At each meeting DNR staff will facilitate a discussion about what went well last fall, what didn’t, and what changes hunters and trappers would like to see for this fall.

These discussions along with the data that the wildlife bureau collects on harvest and population numbers will be used to develop recommendations for any rule changes. Any changes must be approved by the Natural Resource Commission and then go back to the public for further comment before taking effect next fall. Any person attending the public meeting and has special requirements such as those related to mobility or hearing impairments should contact the DNR or ADA Coordinator at 515-725-8200, Relay Iowa TTY Service 800-735-7942, or Webmaster@dnr.iowa.gov, and advise of specific needs.
