We arent quite to March, but were starting to get some of the Vibes of March (dang, I think I need to trademark that! Im sure its been said, but for this lets pretend I came up with it). Teams are starting to separate themselves from the pack, teams are dealing with injuries, Covid, and ultimately, teams are trying to improve their seedings going into March Madness. Heres a quick look back at the Hawkeyes win over Nebraska and a look ahead to contests against Penn State and Indiana.

Coach Lisa Bluders team improved to 11-6 (7-6) by winning on the road against Nebby. Caitlin Clark was ridiculous scoring 39 points, grabbing 10 rebounds, and dishing out 7 assists. It was Clarks 7th game of 30 points or more this year. Here is Caitlin Clark from downtown vs Nebby.

Below is a defensive rebound by Caitlin Clark, an excellent outlet pass to Tomi Taiwo and a layup before the buzzer. This is the type of play that leads to winning basketball games.

McKenna Warnock played great with 19 and 7. Monika Czinano added 17 points in the winning effort. As a team, the Hawks hit on 50% of their three point shots, and 80% from the free throw line. When the ball goes through the hoop at that rate, youre usually in pretty good shape. The Hawkeyes won the rebounding battle 40-34, despite Nebraska having a height advantage. Nebraska has some nice players in posts Isabelle Bourne (16 points) and Bella Cravens (12 points), and Sam Haiby (28 points) is an exceptional basketball player and fun to watch.

Penn State sits at 8-9/5-8. The Lady Lions come to Carver Hawkeye Arena and the Hawks are looking to add to their win total with a big rematch looming on the schedule. Penn State is coached by Carolyn Kieger. On a personal note, Coach Kieger was coached in high school by one of my best friends. Its not a surprise to see her coaching at this level. Obviously back then she was an exceptional player, but you could tell that she understood the game at a very high level. Small world. Good luck to her, with the exception of 2 hours on Thursday.

Penn State plays a little slower than the Hawks offensively, and they also make teams work to score the basketball. The Lady Lions are averaging around 75 points while also giving up the same. Conversely, Iowa is scoring at a clip of 87.4 points per game while allowing 80.8.

Coach Kieger has three players averaging over 14 points per game. Kelly Jekot (15.9), Johnasia Cash (14.9), and Makenna Marisa (14.5) are a pretty formidable triumvirate to contend with. Iowas Big Three of Clark, Warnock, and Czinano will need to match this scoring while defending and staying out of foul trouble. I expect the Hawks to prevail, pulling away in the fourth quarter.

Iowa travels to Indiana on Sunday, February 21st. The Hoosiers are an impressive 13-4, 11-2. Iowa lost the first meeting at home 72-85. The Hawkeyes competed and stuck with the Hoosiers, but the Hawks couldnt get enough defensive stops and took a loss in a winnable game at home.

In the first meeting between these two teams Indiana outrebounded the Hawkeyes 42-35. The Hoosiers got to the paint too easy, scoring 50 of its 85 points in the lane. Thats a losing recipe if youre a Hawk fan. The Iowa defenders need to do a better job this time around against Mackenzie Holmes (25 pts), Ali Patberg (23), Nicole Cardao (17), and Grace Berger (15).

Now the Hawks must go on the road to get one back. It will be a very tough challenge. In order to win Iowa needs to get offensive production from Clark, Warnock, and Czinano and one other player needs to get 10-plus points. More importantly, Coach Bluder needs to get get better defensive production/effort/execution from her squad in order to get a road victory. If the Hawkeyes could steal one in Bloomington, that would go a long ways in improving its seeding for the Big Dance.

Excerpt from:
Affordable Starter Homes in the Auburn Area | Home & Garden | auburnpub.com - Auburn Citizen

Keighley-born Kaiser Chiefs frontman Ricky Wilson renovated his listed seaside home without planning permission, it has emerged.

The singer bought historic Stratton House as a home to "retire in" but tried to sell it last year for 1.5m after his career took off again.

The home - built in 1797 - remains on the market and boasts includes five bedrooms, a wealth of entertaining rooms and incredible views.

But it has now emerged Ricky spent two years and 500,000 making changes to it, some of which were completed without proper planning consent from Cornwall Council.

He has now submitted a retrospective application for the house in Falmouth, Cornwall, for 'variations to refurbishment and alteration works'

This includes work already undertaken to create an open plan kitchen and dining room, pave driveways and create a "snug area."

He also needs retrospective permission for a number of other works including new driveway gates, secret shelving to the library and paving works outside.

The application from CAD Architects Limited, states that while Ricky got permission for some works - others were started without consent.

A report stated the unapproved works began on September 26, 2013, and were completed on September, 26, 2015.

CAD Architects Ltd said it prepared applications for planning permission and listed building consent for various repair and alteration works to the house in 2012 which were approved the following year.

A spokesperson added: The full extent of the approved works was not implemented, and some minor variations were made to some details of the permitted works as they were completed.

"Some works were also completed prior to their relevant planning conditions being discharged.

"The completed works have protected Stratton House for the medium term by attending to necessary repairs and securing uses for redundant areas of the building (principally the basement) to prevent them falling into decay.

"These works were completed alongside an extensive high-quality refurbishment which, due to the sympathetic approaches of the applicant and owner, retained far more historic fabric than was originally expected.

"Overall the completed works, including the relatively few but high-impact alterations, have greatly enhanced the atmosphere and functionality of the house and its private garden areas, increasing the enjoyment of the property for its current and future owners with the crucial benefit of incentivising proactive future maintenance for the long term safeguarding of the asset."

A design and access statement attached to the application said: "The principal variations and additions to the works approved under Listed Building Consent (LBC) for which retrospective LBC is now sought are: alteration and enhancement of former kitchen extension to form Snug area in lieu of previously approved replacement extension."

The report added that retrospective permission was also sought for "works to the former dining room/kitchen chimney breast to create open plan layout; hard landscaping works (paving) to yard, basement buttresses and driveway; railing details to external basement stair; secret shelving door to library; replacement basement floor slab; new driveway gates."

The application will be considered by Cornwall Council by Monday, April 12.

Ricky, 42, said he had planned to 'retire' here but put the house up for sale through estate agency Lillicrap Chilcott after his music career re-booted.

It is understood to still be on the market.

Speaking previously about the home, Ricky said: The general consensus is that you should only be a pop star for four or five years. I had outlived my time.

"I was ready for a quiet life in Falmouth. Then I got my second wind and my career took off again."

Ricky said that he had barely spent any time at Stratton House, which he bought in 2012, because he is now so busy with music - so decided to sell.

He fell in love with the town when he holidayed with a former girlfriend in 2010, and has called the seaside town his temporary home for the past seven years.

He added: We found a last-minute cottage in Falmouth. I walked into town to buy some bread and milk, and I had this intense feeling that I could live here. I instantly felt comfortable.

In the winter, I like to close the shutter, put the fire on and listen to the ocean battering the house.

"I bought a telescope so I could look out to sea and feel dramatic, romantic and wistful, but it doesnt work.

The singer, whose hits include Ruby, Never Miss A Beat and Oh My God, used Stratton House when he was not at his North London home.

Among the works Ricky carried out was to lower the entire floor of the basement to create a two-bedroom garden flat and his proudest achievement was creating a secret door which opens up on to a sun room.

The house is decorated in William Morris-style floral wallpaper and is dotted throughout with antiques, family heirlooms, Persian rugs and Kaiser Chiefs memorabilia.

Extending strict public health measures in Toronto now could help to prevent another lockdown right before patio season begins in Toronto, Mayor John Tory said Wednesday.

Speaking at a news conference at city hall on Wednesday afternoon, Torontos Medical Officer of Health Dr. Eileen de Villa said she is asking the province to keep strict lockdown measures in place in the city for at least another two weeks before considering easing any of the current restrictions.

We absolutely do not want to find ourselves opening up, even slightly, and then having to close down again just a few weeks from now. With the promise of vaccinations upon us, we need to ensure that this lockdown that were presently in is the last one, she told reporters.

Toronto, Peel Region, York Region, and the North Bay Parry Sound District Health Unit are the only regions of the province that have not been transitioned back into the provinces reopening framework due to high community transmission of the novel coronavirus and the circulation of dangerous COVID-19 variants.

The Ford government previously indicated that the regions could return to its colour-coded reopening system as soon as next week, but both Toronto and Peel Regions medical officers of health have advised against that.

Mayor John Tory said he supports the decision to keep Toronto closed in the interim.

When asked about how the variants could impact this years CafeTO program, a city initiative launched last summer to help struggling bars and restaurants build or expand patios during the pandemic, Tory said keeping the city locked down now could prevent a lockdown later this spring.

Tory has said the earliest patios could open as part of the CafeTO program is in early May.

I guess we all would want to have our fingers crossed that we do the right thing that the doctor has recommended in terms of being prudent about reopening and it will still allow us to actually have CafeTO patios open and not be in another lockdown by then, he said.

(That) is precisely what we are trying to avoid is having an opening and then be back into lockdown right when those patios will be opening in May.

Restaurants have been closed in Toronto since Nov. 23, when another lockdown was imposed during the second wave of the pandemic.

Bars and restaurants are still permitted to offer takeout and delivery during the lockdown but in-person dining is prohibited.

As of this week, bars and restaurants were allowed to reopen in Halton and Durham regions with reduced capacity.

York Regions medical officer of health has asked that his region enter the red or control zone of the provinces reopening framework next week, which would allow many businesses, including restaurants, hair salons, and gyms, to reopen.

Extending Torontos current COVID-19 closures could prevent a third lockdown just as the citys patios would reopen, Mayor John Tory said.

At a press conference on February 17, Tory said he supported Dr. Eileen de Villas calls to keep the city shut downin order to assess the emerging COVID-19 variants.

The worst mistake we could make right now is to ignore the advice of our medical experts and begin to reopen too quickly, the mayor said.

We absolutely do not want to find ourselves opening things up, even slightly, and then having to close down again just a few weeks from now.

A slower reopening would be the right thing to do, Tory said, noting that it would prevent a third wave of COVID-19that could force a shutdown in early May as the weather warms and the CafTO program resumes.

The city has begun accepting applications for the program and, depending on public health orders, the first CafTO locations could be open by early May, two months earlier than in 2020.

We all would want to have our fingers crossed that we do the right thing that the doctor has recommended in terms of being prudent about reopening and it will still allow us to actually have CafTO patios open, and not be in another lockdown by then, Tory said.

[That] is precisely what were trying to avoid, is having an opening and then be back in a lockdown right at the time when those patios will be opening in May.

Torontos Stay at Home order is set to expire on February 22, at which point the city will transition back into Ontarios updatedreopening framework.

De Villa has askedOntarios Chief Medical Officer of Health to delay Torontos return to the colour-coded system until at least March 9 as virus variants spread across the city.

With the promise of vaccinations upon us, we need to ensure that this lockdown that were presently in is the last one, Tory said.

Winnipegs pandemic success story from the summer of 2020 the boom in patios will be growing in 2021.

The Beer Can, which took over a vacant lot on Main Street between the Fortune Block and the Winnipeg Hotel last June, will move to a new location for this summer, a spokesperson said Tuesday.

Times Change(d) High & Lonesome Club, which is located in the Fortune Block at the corner of Main and St. Mary Avenue, will take over the Beer Cans former location and rename it Times Change(d) Outside, according to a post on the nightclubs Facebook account.

Blank Canvas Beer Co. founder Brad Chute launched the Beer Can pop-up patio project last spring when COVID-19 positive cases dwindled to a trickle in Manitoba. It provided a safe space for Winnipeggers to enjoy a warm day or evening outdoors and sip a locally brewed beer while maintaining social-distancing standards set by the province.

Chute turned to Times Change(d) owner John Scoles to provide advice on the project. Later in the summer, a stage was built for local performers, ranging from rock bands to dance troupes, to entertain crowds of no more than 50 people.

The pop-up closed in mid-October when the weather turned cold.

The Beer Can spokesperson said the pop-ups plan was always to use the Main Street location for one year only, and that it will find a new venue and a new partner for 2021.

In the Facebook post, the Times Change(d) said it has teamed up with bourbon brand Jim Beam for a covered stage and a cocktail bar for 2021, and Modern Electric Lunch, another Fortune Block tenant, to provide food.

Winnipeg restaurants were forced to close after the COVID-19 pandemic spread to Manitoba last March. A number of Winnipeg bars and restaurants later built or expanded patios when the province eased restrictions for patios prior to allowing indoor eating spaces to open for business.

The city also eased its patio regulations and began allowing restaurants or microbreweries and distilleries to set up temporary patios for the summer. Other pop-up patios emerged across the city in 2020 in response, including the Bijou Patio, which served food and beverages from Exchange District eateries and breweries from its location adjacent to Old Market Square, and the Cargo Bar at Assiniboine Park.
