AMES, Iowa (AP) — The Iowa State-Kansas game on Saturday is by far the least exciting matchup in the Big 12 this season. Try telling that to coaches Paul Rhoads and David Beaty. Rhoads has never won a league opener in six tries with the Cyclones (1-2). If he can’t break that streak against the Jayhawks, he might not get another chance to do so.
Beaty is already 0-3 at Kansas. On paper, the Cyclones represent his best chance to avoid finishing 0-12 as a rookie head coach.
Here is the latest Iowa news from The Associated Press
CHARLES CITY, Iowa (AP) — A judge says he won’t dismiss a sex abuse charge filed against a convicted sex offender who received 14 percent of the votes in losing a Charles City school board election last month. Fifty-nine-year-old Doug Lindaman has pleaded not guilty to allegations he performed a sex act in 2011 on a 17-year-old without the boy’s consent. Before the election, Lindaman called the charge politically motivated.
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) — A 44-year-old man has pleaded not guilty to allegations he killed two other homeless people in Cedar Rapids in separate crimes earlier this month. Travis Standlee’s attorney submitted a written plea on Tuesday. Standlee is accused of killing 56-year-old Raymond Ursino and 41-year-old Sharon Mead.

Police in Council Bluffs arrested a man Thursday on willful injury resulting in serious injury and child endangerment resulting in serious injury, charges. 21-year old Andrew Ross, of Council Bluffs, was taken into custody following an investigation into an incident that took place during the early morning hours of Sept. 20th, when Council Bluffs Medics were dispatched to an apartment at 542 Woodbury Avenue, for a five month old Lyncoln Sadler with labored breathing.
Andrew Ross
The child was transported by ambulance to Mercy Hospital, where it was discovered she had a skull fracture and bleeding on the brain. Lyncoln was then transferred to Children’s Medical Center in Omaha, where she remains in serious, but stable condition.
The investigation determined the girl was in the sole custody of Andrew Ross when she sustained her injuries. Ross was the boyfriend of Lyncoln’s mother at the time of the incident. Lyncoln remains hospitalized at the Madonna Rehabilitation Hospital in Lincoln, Ne.
Ross was arrested without incident and was being being held at Pottawattamie County Jail.
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Iowa wrestling coach Tom Brands has signed a three-year contract extension through 2019-20. Brands, who won gold at the 1996 Olympic Games, has been at Iowa for nine seasons, winning four Big Ten titles and three NCAA crowns.
The Hawkeyes say Brands was also instrumental in bringing the U.S. Olympic Team Trials to Iowa City in 2012. The event was so popular that the U.S. will return to Iowa City for the trials in 2016. The deal was announced Thursday.
The Atlantic Trojan Football team suffered big loss in week 5 to a tough Harlan squad and lost a couple more players to injury along the way. The road doesn’t get any easier in week 6 as the Trojans travel to 5th ranked Dallas Center-Grimes.
The Mustangs sport a 4-1 record with their only loss coming in week 2 to top ranked Pella. The Mustang offense is led by Senior Quarterback Austin Kloewer who has thrown 771 yards and 9 Touchdowns on the season and also rolled up 331 yards rushing and 2 more scores. Dallas Center-Grimes Head Coach Scott Heitland says that Kloewer is the best athlete on the team and is a big part of their offense. Kloewer may be the star but Coach Heitland also believes the Mustangs have a large number of players that are capable of impacting the game.
Atlantic Head Coach Eric Waldstein says his team knows that they need to slow down Kloewer in order to have a chance to compete. On the other side of the ball Waldstein is preparing his team for a multitude of defensive looks from the Mustangs and says their versatility will make it difficult from a play calling standpoint.
We will have coverage of the game on KJAN. Chris Parks and Seth Christensen will bring you the action with Pregame at 6:30pm and Kickoff at 7:00pm. Our football night starts with our weekly high school pick ’em show Who’s Gonna Win? at 6:00pm.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – Two legal experts are recommending the court records of Iowa’s convicted juveniles be confidential and unavailable to the public. Jerry Foxhoven, the executive director of the Neal & Bea Smith Legal Clinic, and Mike Sorci, head of the Youth Law Center in Des Moines, met Wednesday with a state task force studying justice policy reform. The group is expected to make recommendations within the next month on reforms in a variety of areas, including juvenile court records.
The Des Moines Register reports that the men said confidential juvenile court records would help young people who have completed probation turn their lives around. Both of them recommended changing state law so juvenile court records remain confidential unless a judge orders them to be public.
The Cass County Sheriff’s Office says an Atlantic man was arrested this (Thursday) morning on drug charges. 32-year old Bryan Matthew Kirby faces charges that include Possession of A Controlled Substance (Methamphetamine), and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. Kirby was taken to the Cass County Jail where he was subsequently charged with felony Possession of Contraband in Jail. Kirby remains at the Cass County Jail on $6,300 bond.
Also arrested today (Thursday) in Cass County, was 37-year old Robert Lee Atkinson, of Massena, who was taken into custody on a Sheriff’s Office warrant for Driving While Barred, and Eluding. Atkinson was taken to the Cass County Jail where he remains on $2,000 bond.
And on Wednesday, 23-year old Carly Jean Seddon, of Atlantic, was arrested by Cass County deputies on an Atlantic Police Department warrant for Assault Causing Injury. Seddon was taken to the Cass County Jail where she was released later that day on $1000 bond.
