(Radio Iowa) — Nominations are now being taken for this year’s Iowa Character Awards. They honor individuals, businesses, organizations and schools for their roles in making Iowa a better place to live. Amy Smit is spokeswoman for the Robert D. and Billie Ray Center at Drake University in Des Moines, which organizes of the annual awards.
“We think there are Iowans throughout the state who deserve to be recognized for their good character,” Smit says. “It might be a friend or a family member or a co-worker but I think everybody knows someone who can be nominated.” Smit says it’s easy to nominate someone for the recognition.
“Head to our website at iowacharacterawards.org and there’s an online nomination form where we just want to get to know your nominee a little better,” Smit says. “We try to keep it quick and easy for the nominator and we’ll have a volunteer selection committee review those this summer.” The award program was founded in 2005 and has since honored more than a-hundred individuals for showing good character. There are various categories in which to nominate.
Smit says, “If you know an organization that you think really embodies the six pillars of character, you can nominate an organization, a sports team, individuals.” The six pillars of character are: trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, and good citizenship. The entry deadline is May 1st.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Luka Garza scored 19 points, Joe Wieskamp added 16 and Iowa stunned fifth-ranked Michigan 74-59, handing the Wolverines just their second loss of the season. Ryan Kriener scored 15 points with 10 rebounds for the Hawkeyes, who snapped a two-game losing streak with by far their biggest win of the season.
ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Deja Church and Akienreh Johnson both had career scoring highs of 19 points, Michigan dominated the boards and the Wolverines took a 90-81 victory over No. 13 Iowa. Church was 9-of-11 shooting and Johnson 6 of 9 with three 3-pointers for the Wolverines (13-9, 4-6 Big Ten), who lost to the Hawkeyes (16-5, 7-3) by 14 on Jan. 17.
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Miles Mikolas is open to discussing a long-term deal with the St. Louis Cardinals rather than wait to go on the open market after the season. The 30-year-old right-hander returned to the major leagues last year after three seasons in Japan, agreeing to a $15.5 million, two-year contract with the Cardinals. He became a first-time All-Star, going 18-4 with a 2.83 ERA in 32 starts. His deal allows him to become a free agent after the 2019 World Series.
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Just as they did 17 years ago, St. Louis football fans will watch the Rams and New England Patriots play in the Super Bowl. This time, the rooting interest has flipped. Many fans in St. Louis will be pulling for the Patriots and not their former team. The franchise’s success is salt in the wound for fans still bitter three years after owner Stan Kroenke moved the team back to Los Angeles.
ATLANTA (AP) — The Rams moved from St. Louis to Los Angeles, had seven head coaches and used 20 starting quarterbacks since losing to the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl 17 years ago. Meanwhile, Bill Belichick and Tom Brady are still here and they’re going for their sixth NFL title in the rematch Sunday.
LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — The NCAA has declared Kansas forward Silvio De Sousa ineligible for the remainder of this season and next season after his name surfaced in the FBI probe into college basketball corruption. Kansas said it intends to appeal the decision. The Jayhawks had withheld the 6-foot-9 De Sousa from competition this season, pending the results of the investigation.
LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Kansas has lost three of four heading into Saturday’s showdown with Texas Tech, and what happens over the next four days could decide whether the No. 11 Jayhawks remain in the hunt for a 15th straight Big 12 title. They also have a trip to Kansas State on Tuesday night.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri plans to appeal soon what it called “unjust” penalties levied by the NCAA in an academic misconduct case. The school acknowledged that a former tutor did work for 12 student-athletes in football, baseball and softball, but it disputed the severity of the penalties after it self-reported the violations and assisted in the investigation. The appeals process could take six months or more.

ADEL, Iowa (AP) — The last of several people charged in the starvation death of a 16-year-old Iowa girl has been sentenced to prison. Station KCCI reports that Josie Bousman was sentenced Friday to up to 14 years after she pleaded guilty to neglect and two child endangerment counts in the death of Sabrina Ray.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A new survey report is forecasting solid economic growth over the next three to six months for nine Midwestern and Plains states. Friday’s report says the Mid-America Business Conditions Index rose to 56.0 last month from 55.2 in December. The survey results are compiled into a collection of indexes ranging from zero to 100. Survey organizers say any score above 50 suggests growth. The survey covers Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma and South Dakota.
STANWOOD, Iowa (AP) — An eastern Iowa man faces attempted murder and other charges after police say he fired a gun at his neighbor’s house. Station KCRG reports that 61-year-old Randolph Allan High, of Stanwood, was arrested after the Sunday morning incident. Investigators say High’s neighbor was outside when he heard more than a dozen gunshots. Police say the victim initially though High was shooting at raccoons, but later discovered several bullet holes in his vehicle, camper and home.
