Here is the latest Iowa news from The Associated Press at 3:40 a.m. CST

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A former Republican lawmaker tasked with addressing workplace culture in the Iowa Senate following sexual misconduct allegations in the chamber has formally submitted recommendations for improvements. Mary Kramer tells The Associated Press in a phone interview Tuesday she submitted a draft with recommendations to Senate Majority Leader Bill Dix and Senate President Jack Whitver. Kramer says the top Republicans in the chamber received the document in early January.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State University’s illegal crackdown on a pro-marijuana student group’s T-shirts will cost taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars. A state board agreed Tuesday to pay $150,000 in damages to two leaders of the university chapter of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws. It also agreed to pay their lawyers $193,000 for their work defending against university appeals, and additional fees for trial work to be decided later.

DELHI, Iowa (AP) — Police in eastern Iowa are looking into whether a man found dead inside a vehicle that plunged through the ice covering Lake Delhi had been spinning doughnuts on the ice before the fatal incident. Delaware County Sheriff John LeClere tells the Telegraph Herald that a witness spotted a vehicle doing doughnuts on the ice Sunday night before 23-year-old Alex Salow’s body was found Monday.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Gov. Kim Reynolds on Tuesday said she wants to reduce taxes on individuals but won’t immediately push corporate tax cuts, an effort she’ll try to enact despite ongoing lower-than-expected state revenue that keeps creating budget shortfalls. The Republican governor provided details of a tax plan Tuesday during her Condition of the State address at the state Capitol. Reynolds added she wants to eliminate an existing provision that’s expected to give the state a windfall under federal tax changes.

Trojan girls’ ice cold shooting night leads to loss to Glenwood

Sports

January 9th, 2018 by admin

The Atlantic Trojans girls basketball team had an ice cold shooting night from the field and suffered a 51-20 loss to the Glenwood Rams on Tuesday.

Neither team could find the bottom of the cylinder early and it was just a 19-14 Glenwood lead at halftime. The Rams found some shooting touch in the second half and began to build a lead. It was 31-19 by the end of the third quarter in favor of Glenwood.

Atlantic only made 6 field goals on the night and ended with their lowest point output of the season. McKenzie Waters was the top scorer for the Trojans with 6 points and the Trojans dropped to 1-11. They next host Lewis Central on Friday.

Glenwood was led by 11 points from three different players: Elle Scarborough, Brooklyn Taylor, and Joslyn Lewis. Lewis had all of her points in the second half and hit three triples. The Rams improved to 4-7 and will next host St. Albert on Friday.

Atlantic slows down Glenwood and grabs big home win

Sports

The Atlantic Trojans boys basketball team had another slow start against Glenwood on Tuesday night but they were able to overcome it this time and knock of the 2nd-ranked and previously unbeaten Rams 59-41. Glenwood opened the game with an 8-0 run and it would of been easy for Atlantic to think about the 18-4 first quarter deficit they suffered in the December 12th loss to the Rams. This time the Trojans were able to weather the storm and stay composed and Head Coach Alan Jenkins was proud of how they responded.

The Trojans took their first lead of the game at 14-12 early in the second quarter and never trailed the rest of the way. Atlantic lead 22-14 at half and push the lead to ten 38-28 by the end of the third quarter. It was another big win for the Trojans beating the second top ten opponent in as many weeks after handing Harlan their first loss of the year last week. Coach Jenkins talked about the outlook for his squad.

The game got very strange in the fourth quarter with Glenwood being assessed four technical fouls down the stretch and tempers rising from coaches, players, and officials. Atlantic stayed out of the dust-ups pretty well and Coach Jenkins liked their composure given the circumstance.

Austin Alexander led four Trojans in double figures with 19 points and had 5 assists, Scott Leonard had 14 points and 8 rebounds, Chase Mullenix had 11 points, and Grant Podhjasky finished with 10 points. Mullenix talked about what led to the win.

Podhjasky was a huge lift hitting 2 first half buckets and he talked about what changed for his team at the midway point of the season.

Atlantic improves to 7-4 with the win and will next travel to Lewis Central Friday before taking on Wahoo Neumann of Nebraska on Saturday at the MAC Shootout. We’ll have both of those games on KJAN.

Glenwood had an off shooting night and finished with one player in double figures. Andrew Blum finished with 10 points of the bench. Nate Mohr and Christian Stanislav both finished with 9 points. The Rams are now 9-1 and will next travel to St. Albert on Friday.
