(Massena, Iowa) – If you’ve ever wanted to explore the sport of ice fishing, but don’t have the knowledge or skills to give it a try, now’s your chance. The Cass County Conservation Board (CCCB) is hosting an “Intro to Ice Fishing” program, this weekend. Cass County Conservation Director Micah Lee says the program will be held beginning 10-a.m. Saturday (Jan. 14, 2023), at the CCCB’s Outdoor Classroom near Massena (76977 Tucson Road).
The program will focus on ice fishing basics, such as what’s needed to get out on the ice and enjoy the outdoors. Ice safety will be the first topic of discussion.
Basic equipment, clothing and shelter will also be part of the discussion.
The CCCB will have ice rods, bait and augers available for those who don’t have them. The forecast for this weekend is calling for temperatures near 50. If the conditions allow, those attending the program will get a chance to fish on the nearly two on and-half acre pond at the Outdoor Classroom, when the program concludes. There will also be a drawing for prizes, thanks to Cappel’s Ace Hardware, in Atlantic. Micah says the program is open to everyone.
For more information, call Conservation Director Micah Lee at 712-769-2372.

DES MOINES, Iowa – The Drake women’s basketball team could not hold on in a wild finish and Northern Iowa escaped with a 70-69 victory at the Knapp Center on Wednesday night, knocking the Bulldogs out of a tie for first place in the Missouri Valley Conference.
UNI’s Maya McDermott dropped in a runner with 4 seconds left to give the Panthers their first victory in Des Moines since Jan. 24, 2016, ending Drake’s five-game winning streak in the series. The Bulldogs got a timeout with eight-tenths of a second remaining and inbounded the ball to Katie Dinnebier, but Grace Boffeli blocked her shot at the buzzer.
Poor shooting dogged the Bulldogs (8-5, 3-2) from the start, but they managed to take a 57-50 lead into the final quarter because of sharp free throw shooting. But the Panthers (9-5, 4-1) clawed back and made two big shots at the end to win it as the lead changed hands four times in the last 22 seconds.
Drake, which had a three-game winning streak snapped, falls to 8-5 including a 3-2 record in the Missouri Valley Conference. UNI improved to 9-5 on the season with the win.
(Radio Iowa) – Iowa’s largest school district plans to resume classes today (Thursday) after a cybersecurity attack on Monday forced the cancelling of school for 33-thousand students. Des Moines Public Schools Interim superintendent Matt Smith says the district is in the restoration-and-recovery phase and it’s still not known if students’ or families’ personal data was leaked. “That’s what all of our diagnostics checks will actually let us know,” Smith says, “and so once we get those forensics back, we’ll have a lot more of a confident idea of anything that has or has not happened.” Smith says the district-wide computer system that was evidently hacked significantly impacts a wide range of student services.
“It impacts our routing system to make sure that we are picking up students at the right spot at the right time, that we know who’s on our bus and who’s not,” Smith says. “It impacts our food and nutrition system to make sure that we are supplying the meals necessary for all of our students.” Cedar Rapids schools were hit by a cyberattack last year and the state’s second-largest district paid an undisclosed sum in ransom after losing a week of summer school.

(Radio Iowa) – The Marketplace open enrollment period for people who don’t have health insurance ends this weekend. Regional Administrator Sharon Graham (Gram) says there’s still time to sign up. “It’s ending on January 15th. So that’s this Sunday, January 15th. And that will be the last time that people can enroll in quality, affordable health coverage for this year, with coverage effective on February 1st,” Graham says. She says a new law provides more help for those seeking insurance. “And they may find that they’re available for even more financial assistance than before. And when you go to our at healthcare.gov, it’s a really straightforward application. You’ll need some information that includes, for example, your family size and your tax records, because you’ll need to enter your income,” she says.
Graham says if you are not comfortable signing up online — you can call 800-318-8259. “That number is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week and even has up to 200 different languages available for people. And then lastly, if people do want an option to meet with somebody face to face, we have counselors who are right there in the community called navigators and assisters,” according to Graham. “And you can find one right there in your community by going to healthcare.gov and selecting a button that says ‘Find Local Help’, and then you can find a navigator in your community to help you sign up too.”
She says the window to sign up closes Sunday. “After January 15th, it’s only with based on an exceptional circumstance. like perhaps if you move for example, or if you have a situation change in your family, that you might be able to sign up for health coverage,” she says.
She says you should go to healthcare.gov as soon as you can and review the options available before the deadline.
