Iowa Justice: Judicial System Is Tackling Racial Disparity

Posted on by KBOE Administrator
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The chief justice of the Iowa Supreme Court says the state is making progress in addressing racial disparity in its criminal justice system.
Iowa Supreme Court Chief Justice Mark Cady says more than 700 judges, magistrates and other judicial branch staffers received training last year that helps them recognize implicit biases that may contribute to racial disparity. He says three Iowa counties are working on pilot projects that try to eliminate racial disparity in the juvenile justice system.
Cady spoke to the Iowa General Assembly on Wednesday during the annual Condition of the Judiciary address.
The Judicial Branch is seeking more than $190 million in funding for the fiscal year that begins in July, a 4 percent increase. Gov. Terry Branstad recommended that request in his budget proposal released Tuesday.

Oskaloosa 8th Grade Boys Stay Unbeaten At 8-0 With 3 More Wins

Posted on by KBOE Administrator

The Oskaloosa 8th grade boys’ quest to have an unbeaten season is still alive after they posted 2 wins over Pella Christian and 1 over Grinnell.

On December 17th, the Indians faced their toughest challenge of the year against a tall and talented Pella Christian team. Oskaloosa jumped out early and lead 25-11 at halftime. The Eagles made a run cutting the lead to 7 before Osky pulled away for the 53-39 win. Tyler Miller had his best all-around game of the year leading the Indians with 19

Tyler Miller had his best all-around game of the year leading the Indians with 19 points, 5 steals, and 5 assists. Xavier Foster had 11 points 11 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 assists. Noah Van Veldhuizen also had 11 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 steals. Iszac Schultz had a big game on the boards with 9 rebounds. Schultz also chipped in 6 points. Reese Sarver, Colton Butler, and Walker Newman all scored 2 points. Van Veldhuizen and Sarver both played great defense in the game. Schultz was key in handling P.C. half-court press by making good decisions with the ball.

The “B” team fell 46-8 with Sullivan Tighe leading the way with 4 points. Collin Bambrook and Andy Scholes each scored 2 points.

The Indians then hosted Grinnell on 1-4-16 in the first game after Christmas break. Once again Oskaloosa jumped out to a big lead and coasted to the 46-23 win.

Tyler Miller and Reese Sarver led the Indians with 11 points each. Iszac Schultz and Noah Van Veldhuizen were next with 8 points each and they pulled down 5 and 7 rebounds each. Colton Butler had 6 pints and Dalton Deney rounded out the scoring with 2 points.

The “B” team picked up their first win of the year 26-12 over Grinnell. Sullivan Tighe led the way with 7 points while Owen Gordon had his best game of the year scoring 6 points and pulling down 3 rebounds. Caden Bambrook had 4 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 steals. Dalton Deney had 3 points with Treyton Shilling, Mason Barnhart, and Andy Scholes all chipping in with 2 points. Shilling led the team with 7 rebounds.

On 1-11-16 the Indians traveled to Pella for a rematch with the Eagles. Oskaloosa would be without the services of 6’5 center Xavier Foster for this game due to a broken bone in his foot which occurred in the last meeting verses P.C. The Indians switched from a pressure man to man defense in the 1st game to a sagging zone defense in this game and the strategy worked as the Indians built a 12 point lead in the first half.

The Eagles would battle back and take a 31-30 lead before Tyler Miller scored 5 points on a 3 point play after a steal and a bucket. The Indians would hold on for a 43-39 win in the hard fought contest. Miller and Noah Van Veldhuizen led the way scoring with 10 points each. Colton Butler had 9 points while Iszak Schultz scored 7 points and had 6 assists. Reese Sarver had 5 points and Walker Newman scored 2 points and pulled down 5 rebounds. Treyton Shilling gave the Indians some much-needed minutes off the bench and pulled down 2 rebounds.

Oskaloosa hosts Sigourney on Friday at 4:30 pm.

Iowa State Plans Events As Substitutes For Defunct Festival

Posted on by KBOE Administrator

(Information in the following story is from: Iowa City Press-Citizen, http://www.press-citizen.com/ )

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State University is planning two events to replace what was the annual Veishea festival.

University President Steven Leath said Monday that a February celebration will feature the sale of cherry pies as part of Valentine’s Day activities. And a separate celebration of the arts will be held in April.

Plans for the next academic year include a community service project, a parade and college showcase and an event to welcome students back to campus for the start of spring semester.

The 2014 Veishea festival was suspended after a weeknight riot occurred. Leath eventually decided to cancel Veishea altogether. The festival began in 1922 as a way to celebrate the school, but it eventually became associated with binge drinking and property damage.

The Student Government will spearhead the implementation of the alternative events that were recommended by the Spring Event Planning Committee.

Daniel Breitbarth, president of the school’s Student Government, said that the recommendations were the most feasible short-term options, and were unlikely to lead to the issues that ultimately lead to the Veishea festival’s end.

“Veishea had been running for nearly 100 years, and it’s going to take some time to develop some similar events that will bring in a lot of the community,” he said.

During the announcement of the festival’s cancellation, Leath said that “I’m not going to continue to put students at risk so that we can preserve what to many has become a weeklong party.”
