Here is the latest Iowa news from The Associated Press
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A Des Moines man accused of sexually abusing three of his nine children has reached a plea deal with prosecutors. Television station KCCI reports the man pleaded guilty yesterday to three counts of second-degree sexual abuse. He will be sentenced in March.
GRANITE CITY, Ill. (AP) — Mississippi River traffic is halted near St. Louis as crews try to sort out how to fix an auxiliary lock’s gate damaged by a barge. Army Corps of Engineers spokesman Mike Petersen says the accident that occurred around 5 a.m. yesterday damaged the backup lock near Granite City that’s about half the size of the adjacent main one. That main lock was closed for repairs early last month.
CENTERVILLE, Iowa (AP) — A nursing home in northern Iowa has been fined $15,000 following the death of two patients.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Reliever Jason Motte and the St. Louis Cardinals have agreed to a $12 million, two-year contract, avoiding salary arbitration. The 30-year-old right-hander had a career-high 42 saves in 49 chances last year, when he was 4-5 with a 2.75 ERA. He made $2 million. Motte is 17-13 with a 2.87 ERA and 54 saves since his major league debut in 2008. He will be eligible for free agency after the 2014 season. St. Louis announced the deal on Tuesday.
Two Cardinals remain in arbitration: third baseman David Freese and left hander Marc Rzepczynski. If they fail to reach agreements, hearings would be held next month in Phoenix before three-arbitrator panels.
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Deshaun Thomas, who missed part of the second half with a cut above his eye, scored 16 points and No. 14 Ohio State built a big lead and then held on to beat Iowa 72-63 on Tuesday night. Thomas, the Big Ten’s leading scorer at 21 points per game, sat out about 3 minutes while an open cut over his right eye was bandaged. The Buckeyes (14-4, 4-2 Big Ten) led by 24 points with under 13 minutes left but watched as Iowa cut the lead to four with 1:30 remaining.
Aaron White, an Ohio native playing his first college game in his home state, had 13 points for Iowa (13-6, 2-4). Aaron Craft and Lenzelle Smith Jr. both had 12 points and Evan Ravenel added 11 for Ohio State.
Page County Sheriff Lyle Palmer said Tuesday there were no serious injuries reported following a single-vehicle rollover accident Monday evening, about two-miles north of College Springs. Palmer says 55-year old Patricia Ann Maca, of Clarinda, was driving a 2004 Chevy Trailblazer west on 270th Street at around 4:35-p.m., when she lost control of the SUV on the loose gravel. The vehicle left the roadway to the north, traveled down an embankment, through a barbed wire fence, and rolled over once, before coming to rest on its left side.
Maca, who was wearing a seat belt, suffered non-incapacitating injuries, and was transported by ambulance to the Clarinda Regional Medical Center for treatment. The SUV, which sustained $4,500 damage was a total loss. No citations were issued.
The Atlantic City Council today (Wednesday), will hear a presentation with regard to a request from the City’s Parks and Recreation Board, for the partial use of land at the Schildberg Recreation Area as a dog park. Parks and Rec Director Roger Herring will make the presentation during the Council’s meeting, which begins 5:30-p.m. at City Hall.
The Parks and Rec Board has given their approval for the conceptual use of 2.4-acres in the Schildberg Park area, but the City Council has not formally designated the area around the former Schildberg rock quarries as a municipal park, nor have they adopted a Master Plan for its development. A conceptual plan was created a decade ago, and while never formally adopted by the Council, it has been used as a guide for park improvements.
If approved by the Council during their meeting Wednesday, the Parks Board would be responsible for implementing the dog park plan, and the formal process to get the area designated as a City Park. That process includes updating the original concept plan and bringing a proposed Master Plan to Council for a public hearing and adoption.
In other business, the Council will receive an update on the Sunnyside Tennis Court renovation project, which is projected to cost around $241,000. City crews have already removed a fence, light poles, and old asphalt surface for the tennis courts, in an effort to reduce costs. It’s expected the Council will act on setting February 20th as the date for a public hearing and bid letting on the project.
The Council will also consider and possibly act on approving an agreement with Snyder and Associates for engineering services associated with the 2013 Sanitary Sewer Improvement projects, the cost for which will amount to an estimated $238,000. They will also consider and possibly act on the 7th Street Traffic Signal Improvement Project, which includes the final plans and specifications needed to modify traffic lights along 7th Street, at the Plum, Olive, Walnut, Chestnut and Poplar Street intersections. The estimated cost of the project, which is included in the City’s Capital Improvement Plan, will cost about $179,000, and will likely be paid for using bond proceeds and some operating funds.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — There were few bright spots for Iowa last season as the Hawkeyes stumbled to their worst record in more than a decade. The program’s struggles didn’t affect cornerback Micah Hyde’s play. Hyde closed out a stellar career by being named the Big Ten’s defensive back of the year for 2012. He was also the only Iowa player to be named a first-team All-Big Ten pick by the league’s coaches and media members.
Hyde is hoping his next step will be to play in the NFL. He’s working out at a football training center in San Diego in preparation for the NFL combine and, hopefully, the April draft.
