Ice fishing is not recommended over about the southern third of Iowa and caution is advised across the state. D-N-R conservation officer Michael Miller recently had to rescue an ice fisherman who fell through the ice on West Lake near Osceola. Miller says people may get fooled by a couple of cold days and think the ice is safe.
“It takes some pretty extreme conditions to make ice…and now we are having open water and when that water gets blown around by the wind, that weakens the ice,” Miller says. Temperatures were rising again Friday and Miller says that also adds to the problem.
“You don’t make very much ice on sub-32 degree days this time of year,” Miller says, “it needs to be 32 and under for considerable amounts of time.” He says far more ice is lost on warm days than is gained when the temperature might dip down below 32 at night. Miller says the water remains cold and the is a bigger concern when someone falls through the ice than drowning as it does not take long for hypothermia to set in and be deadly.

Iowa State coach Steve Prohm wants the Cyclones to display a sense of urgency at the start of tonight’s (Saturday’s) game at home against Oklahoma. Poor starts have become common and the most recent example was Tuesday’s 67-65 loss at Texas when the Cyclones fell behind 22-5 at the outset.

Iowa State’s first game against the Sooners was another example. The Cyclones fell behind by 19 points in the opening half before rallying for a 92-87 victory in double overtime. Prohm says it us up to him to get the problem solved.
The loss to the Cyclones started a six-game losing skid for the Sooners, who are 2-9 in the Big-12. Iowa State is in a fourth place tie with TCU at 6-5. Tip time from Hilton Coliseum in Ames is at 5-p.m.

We’re six weeks into the new year and Iowans who made a resolution to get fit are likely succeeding if they have a gym membership, according to an Iowa State University study. Elizabeth Schroeder, lead author of the report and a former I-S-U grad student, says the study found people who belong to a health club tend to exercise more and see healthier returns.
“From the results, we speculate that you have more options at the health club so you’re more apt to have all that resistance training and weight machines around you,” Schroeder says, “but you also have classes you can take and the social support from others to help you work out, that could lead to more physical activity while you’re at the health club instead of at home.”
The study found health benefits were even greater for people who had a gym membership for more than a year. “A lot of motivation goes into working out, so it’s not just buying the membership, it’s not going to make you work out,” Schroeder says. “There has to be some other internal motivation that’s also going to make you go there which could be as simple as you bought a membership, it’s going to cost you X dollars a month and you don’t want to waste that money.”
While it’s no surprise that people with a gym membership work out more, the differences were dramatic. The study found gym members were 14 times more aerobically active than non-members and 10 times more likely to meet muscle-strengthening guidelines, regardless of their age and weight.
“Even though you have the health club membership, we thought maybe those people would exercise less when they’re at home and not at the health club,” Schroeder says. “You get that mentality of, ‘Oh, I worked out today, I went to the gym so I don’t need to do anything the rest of the day,’ but we actually found that people who had the health club membership worked out or were just as active outside the health club as people without that membership.”
The results were similar in men and women. It’s recommended adults get 150 minutes of moderate or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity each week, such as brisk walking or running, along with two days of weight lifting or other muscle-strengthening activities. Despite the health benefits, only half of Americans get enough aerobic activity and about 20 percent meet the guidelines for strength training.
