Northern Iowa coach Ben Jacobson remains pleased with the effort despite a three game losing skid. The Panthers take an 8-6 Missouri Valley Conference record on the road to Evansville Wednesday night.
Jacobson says the Panthers need to eliminate defensive mistakes at crunch time.
Jacobson says this is a much more confident Evansville team than the one the Panthers beat 72-55 in Cedar Falls back in early December.
Jacobson wants to see a better defensive performance from his team.
Iowa State takes a 7-3 Big 12 record on the road Wednesday night when the 11th ranked Cyclones visit West Virginia. The Mountaineers are 3-7 in the league race but have won three of their last four, including a 32 point win over Oklahoma.
That’s Iowa State coach T.J. Otzelberger. Both teams pride themselves on defense and toughness.
ISU has lost four straight road games, including three straight in Big 12 play.
(Radio Iowa) – Governor Kim Reynolds has approved a plan to provide Iowa’s public K-through-12 schools three percent more in general state support for the next academic year. Republican Representative Craig Johnson of Independence says it’s a nearly 107 million dollar increase. “I think it’s a good news story for Iowans and our educators and our families,” Johnson said. The plan cleared the Republican-led Senate Thursday and was approved by the House today (Tuesday).
Democrats like Representative Eric Gjerde of Cedar Rapids say public schools dealing with escalating costs will have to cut staff and programs. “The Iowans that I have spoken to say we need to do a lot of things and one major thing is stop strangling our public schools,” Gjerde says. Other Democrats object to providing public schools a budget increase that’s roughly identical to the amount private school parents will start getting in state-funded savings accounts next school year.
Representative Sharon Steckman of Mason City says rural schools are in a financial crunch. “People used to come back to Iowa because…they knew their kids could get a top notch education,” Steckman said. “Maybe that’s why we are the slowest growing state in the union right now.” House Speaker Pat Grassley says Republicans have agreed to spend three-point-seven BILLION dollars on school districts next year.
“The total investment that we’re making in public education with the passage of this bill is about 45 percent of the state’s budget,” Grassley says. Four House Republicans joined House Democrats in voting against the bill. Three of them also voted against creating state-funded savings accounts for the parents of private school students.
SIOUX CITY, Iowa – Officials with the Iowa Department of Public Safety report a man from Sioux City, Iowa pled guilty on February 2nd in Woodbury County District Court, to Unlawful Betting-Fraudulent Claim, and Solicitation to Commit a Felony, in Woodbury County. Both charges are Class D Felonies.
The plea from 57-year-old Dajo Aon Grandberry, followed a DCI investigation that resulted in his arrest on November 30, 2022.
The charges stem from an incident at the Hard Rock Casino in Sioux City on August 7, 2022, when Grandberry won a slot machine jackpot and attempted to have another person officially claim the winnings in an attempt to avoid paying offset funds that he owed the State of Iowa. He further solicited another person to assist in completing the attempted felony fraud.
CASS COUNTY, IOWA – Anita city officials notified the Iowa DNR Field Office staff this morning regarding a sewage overflow near 203 Michigan Avenue. The overflow was discovered around 5:30 p.m. Monday.
The overflow occurred at a manhole about 75 yards north of 203 Michigan Avenue after a sewer collection system under Turkey Creek became blocked. Approximately 50 gallons of sewage also backed up into a residential basement at 203 Michigan Avenue.
The city’s wastewater operator estimates 250 gallons of sewage reached Turkey Creek. City staff cleared the obstruction by 7 p.m. Monday and spread lime on the area between the manhole and the creek to kill bacteria.
Officials have determined no further action is needed at this time.
