AMES, Iowa (AP) – Guard Chris Allen was a key cog in Michigan State’s Final Four teams in 2009 and 2010. Now he’s at Iowa State for one final shot at the NCAA tournament. Allen landed at Iowa State in the summer of 2010 after an
unceremonious exit from East Lansing, and is now one of a crop of transfers coach Fred Hoiberg hopes can speed up his rebuilding efforts. Allen, a 6-foot-3 guard, will be back in the spotlight for the Cyclones this winter. In fact, he’s already been tabbed as a preseason honorable mention All-Big 12 pick by the league’s coaches. Allen says his dismissal from the Spartans happened so long ago that he blocked it out, adding that he hopes his big-game experience will rub off on his teammates.
AMES, Iowa (AP) – The Iowa State women’s basketball team is picked to finish fifth in the Big 12 this season by the league’s head coaches. The Cyclones return four starters from last year’s team, which went 22-11 and advanced to the NCAA tournament for the fifth year in a row. Iowa State’s biggest loss is Kelsey Bolte, who graduated after leading the Cyclones in scoring. Baylor is picked to win the 10-team league, followed by defending national champion Texas A&M and Texas.

A Shelby County man is set to appear in court next month on charges he photographed a naked female in her bathroom. 27-year old Daniel David Pauley, of Defiance, was charged with invasion of privacy, after he allegedly took the picture through a screen window on the back of a home, while the woman was nude in her bathroom. A complaint filed against Pauley says the victim did not give him consent to photograph her, and the bathroom was not viewable from any public right of ways. The offense allegedly took place on August 14th. Pauley has entered a written plea of not guilty to the charge.
A pre-trial hearing in the case was scheduled for November 28th, with trial set for December 20th. If convicted on the serious misdemeanor charge, he faces up to a year in jail with an additional fine totaling $1,500.
Pauley faces an additional trial on February 14th, 2012, on a 3rd Degree Harassment charge and for Violation of a No Contact or Protective Order, associated with the August 14th incident. He’s plead not guilty to both charges.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) – Wilson Trailer Co. is laying off 68 workers at its plants in Sioux City and Moberly, Mo., citing a slowdown in the national economy and bad weather in crop-producing states. The Sioux City-based company produces livestock, grain, flatbed and gooseneck trailers. Demand fell this year in the wake of a multitude of bad weather, from flooding along the Missouri River to drought in some Midwest and southern states.
Human Resources Director John Kreber says the company hoped to avoid the layoffs, but the reductions became necessary. Employees were told of the decision at a meeting in late September. The layoffs are effective Oct. 31.
Iowa businesses located along the Missouri River are struggling to recover from this summer’s flood. A survey from the Safeguard Iowa Partnership (SIP) shows respondents noted impacts to their workforce, supplies, customers, transportation and in some cases were forced to relocate. SIP executive director Jami Haberl says 140 business owners completed the survey. “Over 70-percent of them were small businesses with less than 50 employees,” Haberl said. The survey results were included in Governor Branstad’s recent appeal to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to provide financial assistance to Iowans. The businesses were not asked to provide a dollar figure on their damages, but most reported they spent a lot of money to prevent or mitigate flood damage. Haberl says over 70 percent of respondents did not have flood insurance and 80 percent did not have business interruption insurance
She said it’s important for business owners to work with their insurance agents to understand their coverage plans. Many of the businesses were not flooded, but lost business because residents were forced to leave the area. Branstad’s request to FEMA for individual disaster assistance noted the Missouri River flooding destroyed 189 homes in Iowa, while 161 sustained major damage.
