The AHSTW Vikings held serve at home with a 75-59 win over the Audubon Wheelers on Friday night. The Vikings grabbed an early six point lead by the end of the 1st quarter and slowly increased that lead most of the rest of the game. It was 36-23 at half and 62-34 at the end of three quarters.
The Vikings hit 11 threes in the win and stay unbeaten at 6-0 on the young season. They were led on the night by 14 points apiece from Clayton Akers and Michael Mantell. Joey Cunningham hit 4 threes on the night and finished with 13 points. Raydden Grobe also finished in double-digits with 10. Next up for the Vikings is a home game against Missouri Valley on Tuesday.
Audubon was led by 15 points each for Skyler Schultes and Kaiden Smith. The Wheelers fall to 1-4 on the year and will next travel to Riverside on Tuesday.
The Audubon Wheelers improved to 5-1 on the season with a big overtime road win over the AHSTW Lady Vikes on Friday night. It was a hard fought back and forth battle for the entire night but three point shots and free throws proved to be the difference. The Wheelers hit 9 three pointers on the night, including two key ones in overtime. Aleah Hermensen hit a three to open up the overtime session, and a short while later Leah Subbert followed with another on her only field goal of the night.
The Wheelers went 14-17 from the free throw line in the second half when they had a foul edge. They finished 17-20 from the line for the night. The Wheelers employed a selective zone defense for most of the night, sagging off some of the Lady Vikes to double team others at times. Audubon Head Coach Darran Miller said he was proud of the way the team executed the game plan and kept rallying.
Audubon was led by 16 points each from Aleah Hermensen and Rylie Hartl. Leah Subbert also ended up in double digits with 10 points, all of those points coming in the fourth quarter and overtime. Coach Miller said Subbert stepping up late in the game is just the type of player she is.
Audubon improves to 5-1 on the season and will next travel to Riverside on Tuesday.
AHSTW was led by 12 points from Claire Harris and 11 from Claire Denning. The Lady Vikes suffer their first loss of the season and are now 5-1. They will host Griswold on Monday.

(Radio Iowa) — Researchers at an Iowa City-based think tank says some communities face bigger challenges than others when it come to protecting themselves from flooding. David Osterberg of the Iowa Policy Project says low-income people often live in the areas most impacted by flooding. He says funds available to help isn’t always available right when needed.
)”If you are a low-income person you can’t just say ‘Okay I’ll use some of my savings until the FEMA money comes.’ You don’t have any savings,” Osterberg says. He says that creates a flood inequity as people try to recover. “While this may not be FEMA’s fault — it’s their job to make sure they just don’t give away money willy-nilley — having so many people who just are at the edge and then experience a disaster — it makes it so hard. They are not treated like somebody who would be middle class,” Osterberg says.
Osterbeg says the uncertainty of when relief is coming is a big issue. )”Some floods FEMA is right there. Sometimes it takes a long time,” Osterberg says. University of Iowa graduate student Joe Wilensky wrote the report. “Earlier research primarily focused in on peoples’ income levels and their wealth levels, sort of their poverty levels of individuals,” he says. “More recent research is showing that there are similar sort of negative outcomes associated with a sort of broader range of individuals. So, in the paper itself it list 13 different categories
The report has several recommendations, including a “rebalance” in mitigation efforts with an emphasis on community impact and vulnerability rather than up-front economic loss. It says the economic loss approach puts higher-value properties ahead of those properties of people less able to cope on their own. It also suggests putting more flexibility in FEMA guidelines to ease community burdens and allow for a creative use of funds.
Better directing of Community Block Development Grant funds to the best place for mitigation efforts — not necessarily within the damage area — but outside if needed. And keeping state funds flowing pending the arrival federal aid. State funds might be delayed after a federal disaster is declared and then the state stops processing and paying disaster claims.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The director of the Iowa Department of Transportation is leaving his job next month after Gov. Kim Reynolds asked him to resign. Mark Lowe is a lawyer who was appointed to the post by Reynolds in May 2017. The governor’s spokesman says she has decided to seek a change in leadership.
Lowe became general counsel for the Iowa DOT in 2008 before becoming director of the motor vehicle division and then interim director. His resignation letter released Friday makes no mention of why he was asked to leave. His resignation is effective Jan. 10.
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — One of the world’s largest banks will reap a windfall from the University of Iowa’s multi-billion-dollar plan to outsource its utility operations before students or faculty see any benefit from the deal. Wells Fargo is expected to get 1% of the nearly $1.2 billion payment that the university has negotiated for leasing its utility system to a private operator, or around $12 million.
The university hired the bank last year as its strategic advisor on the transaction. The Iowa Board of Regents on Tuesday awarded a 50-year contract to a private company to operate its steam, cooling, water, and electricity infrastructure.
Officials with the Page County Sheriff’s Office today (Friday), said the State Medical Examiner’s Office has confirmed that a body that found November 9, 2019 in Page County just north of Clarinda, was that of 68-year old DaleAllen Hodtwalker, of rural Clarinda, and formerly of the Council Bluffs area.
Hodtwalker, who suffered from Dementia and other health issues, was reported as missing on October 22, 2019 at approximately 8:30-a.m. A systematic search of the area involving persons on foot, K-9’s, persons on horseback, drones, helicopters and airplanes did not locate the Hodtwalker at that time.
The search was officially postponed on October 25, 2019. As more crops in the area were harvested, small searches continued until the body was found on November 9, 2019. No foul play was found and Hodtwalker’s death was ruled accidental.
