January 28th, 2021 by admin

 

CAM didn’t lead Stanton until 5:25 left in the third quarter on Thursday night, but the Cougars finished strong to grab a 63-45 win. Connor McKee hit the three that put the Cougars ahead for the first time and he went on to score 19 of his 21 points in the second half. After trailing by three at half the Cougars led 37-28 by the end of the third and kept pulling away.

Colby Rich helped the Cougars hang around in the first half by knocking down three 3’s in the first half and finished with a game high 23 points. CAM Head Coach Nick Hodges said he challenged his team to be more aggressive at the half. He thought they did a much better job of attacking the basket and opening up the zone in the second half.

CAM improved to 7-6 on the season and they will now get set for a make-up game against West Harrison on Saturday.

Stanton was led by 14 points from Quentin Thornburg and 12 from Carter Johnson. The Vikings fall to 8-6 on the season and they are set to face Essex on Friday before hosting Griswold on Monday.

Proposed gun rights amendment to Iowa Constitution nears end of legislative process

News

January 28th, 2021 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) – Republicans in the Iowa legislature are one step away from putting a proposed gun rights amendment on Iowa’s 2022 ballot. Twenty-nine Senate Republicans have voted to present the proposed constitutional amendment to Iowa voters next year. Senator Dan Dawson, a Republican from Council Bluffs, says the part of the amendment that says any gun-related laws challenged in court should be subject to strict scrutiny is important.

Senator Zach Wahls, a Democrat from Coralville, says just three other states have constitutional amendments that go as far as this one.

Senator Tony Bisignano, a Democrat from Des Moines, suggests gun laws that limit kids’ access to guns or that require permits for concealed weapons may be struck down if the amendment passes.

Republican Senator Brad Zahn of Urbandale has this response.

Zaun says the amendment’s needed because it will create a high legal standard to protect gun rights. G-O-P leaders plan to bring this proposed amendment up for a vote in the Iowa House tonight (Thursday). That’s the final step in a multi-year legislative process to get the proposed amendment eligible for a statewide vote in 2022.

Cedar Rapids doctor to pay $100K settlement in opioids case

News

January 28th, 2021 by Ric Hanson

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) — Federal prosecutors for Iowa say a Cedar Rapids doctor has agreed to pay a $100,000 settlement over allegations that he prescribed opioids to patients who had no legitimate medical need for the drugs. The U.S. Attorney’s Office says an investigation by the Iowa’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit and the federal Drug Enforcement Administration found that Dr. Paul Lottes had violated the Controlled Substances Act. Prosecutors say that from August 2017 to April 2019, Lottes wrote prescriptions for the powerful painkillers to two patients in violation of the act.
