(Corning, Iowa) — A traffic stop a bit east of Corning at around 1-a.m., Sunday, resulted in the arrest of a woman from Union County. According to the Adams County Sheriff’s Department, 42-year-old Crystal Mack, of Creston, was arrested on charges that include driving under suspension, failure to have ignition interlock device, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Mack was being held in the Adams County Jail on a little less than $2,100 bond.

(Radio Iowa) 0 Iowa women’s coach Lisa Bluder is not concerned that her Hawkeyes don’t have a home court advantage as the Hawkeyes get set to host Indiana, tonight, two days after stunning the fifth ranked Hoosiers in Bloomington. The Hawkeyes are 11-4 in the Big Ten and three of those losses have occurred in Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
Sophomore guard Caitlin Clark says the return of McKenna Warnock from injury was a big factor in Saturday’s win. Warnock scored 21 points and was three of four from behind the arc.
(Radio Iowa) – UNI is closing in on a Missouri Valley championship. The Panthers raced out to a 49-33 lead at halftime and hammered Missouri State 95-75 to take over sole possession of the Valley lead. With wins over Indiana State and Loyola this week the Panthers will claim the regular season title. UNI shot a blistering 59 percent to improve to 12-4 in conference play.
That’s Panther coach Ben Jacobson who talks about the confidence level of his team.
AJ Green led the way with 21 points and Noah Carter added 17 as the Panthers jumped out early.

(Radio Iowa) – Governor Kim Reynolds says people involved in blockades and occupations like the one that’s been going on in Canada would be quickly arrested if that happened in Iowa, but Reynolds is expressing sympathy to Canadians who’re unhappy with that country’s vaccination requirements.
“The means don’t justify the end, but I’m telling you it is a reflection of where people are at today,” Reynolds says. Reynolds approved a state law last year that raised the penalties for protest-related crimes. It created a new crime called “interference with public disorder control” and people convicted of “unlawful assembly” can be sentenced to up to two years in prison.
Iowa law now provides civil liability protection to drivers who accidentally hit protesters blocking roads. Demonstrators began blocking the streets of Ottawa, Canada on January 28th and police began making arrests and towing vehicles late last week.
(Radio Iowa) – The governor’s plan to provide state scholarships to parents who start sending their kids to a private school is being changed to try to gain more votes. Rural lawmakers worry the concept will put more financial strain on small school districts and the plan has stalled in the House for a second year. Last month, Governor Kim Reynolds suggested a new fund for public school districts with fewer than 500 students. This weekend during an appearance on “Iowa Press” on Iowa P-B-S, Reynolds shared a counter offer that would send more money to more rural schools.
“One of the other things we’re looking at as we talk about the bill is maybe look at occupational sharing and that would cover an even broader group of rural districts,” Reynolds says, “so we’re still working on the pieces of the legislation.” The state already provides increased state funding to Iowa school districts that share superintendents, social workers, custodians or business managers. House Democratic Leader Jennifer Konfrst expects a fierce pressure campaign to get a bill passed this year.
“This is an election year, so I think all bets are off when it comes to what’s going to happen,” Konfrst says.”I remain hopeful that there are enough Republicans in the House who recognize this for what it is, which is a sham to move public money to private schools.”
The initial copy of the governor’s Students First Scholarship program advanced out of the Senate Education Committee last week, but the panel’s Republican chairwoman says changes are going to be made in the plan. House Speaker Pat Grassley has used his authority to move the bill to another House committee, so it remains eligible for debate.

IOWA CITY, Iowa – University of Iowa senior Monika Czinano announced that she will return for a fifth year in 2022-23 on Sunday.
“Being a Hawkeye has been one of the greatest privileges of my life, not only because of basketball but also because of the people that have surrounded me with love and support,” Czinano said. “ I’m really excited to see where the remainder of the season takes us because we’ve still got a lot to prove. With senior day approaching, people have been asking me a lot of questions and I wanted to clear the air. These have been the best four years of my life, so why switch things up now? I’ll be back again next year.”
This season, Czinano ranks third nationally in field-goal percentage (.649), 11th in field goals made (196), 16th in points per game (20.2), 33rd in total points (465) and 36th in free-throw percentage (.859).
The Watertown, Minnesota, native has tallied 465 points this season, racking up 1,572 career points and ranking 12th on Iowa’s all-time leading scorers list, surpassing former Hawkeye Samantha Logic (1,546).
Czinano and the Hawkeyes return to action on Monday, Feb. 21 as they take on No. 5/6 Indiana inside Carver-Hawkeye Arena in Iowa City, Iowa. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. (CT) on B1G Network.
