Physical fitness of youth in rural Iowa to be subject of ISU study

News

April 25th, 2018 by Ric Hanson

Iowa State University is launching a study of physical activity of rural youth as part of a joint project with the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha. Dr. David Dzewaltowski, the principal investigator at U-N-M-C’s College of Public Health, says he’d like rural communities in both states to help promote physical activity. “This project is going to focus on helping communities decide what’s going on in their communities,” Dzewaltowski says, “and how they can create more options in their communities for kids.”

Since the 1970s, he says the obesity rate has quadrupled among youth and our social systems have to change to allow for more activity.”The primary thing that’s changed is, we live our lives differently,” he says. “The social context, or the people we interact with and the places we interact with throughout the day in our communities, really determine how we eat and how active we are as children and adults.” Dzewaltowiski says it’s vital that kids engage in regular physical activity at a young age and carry that to adulthood. “What we find is that kids aren’t very active throughout the day,” he says. “If we don’t get kids moving at a young age, then it’s less likely they’ll be active later and also at a young age, if they start to become obese, then they’re more likely to be obese later.”

Dzewaltowiski plans to use videos pared with pedometers to measure the phsycal activity while the program changes are made. He says moving is important not just for health but for educational outcomes. “Kids need to move to be healthy and they do better if they move in places with learning outcomes,” he says. “In addition to the importance of physical activity for health, physical activity is important for other outcomes the community may value, such as education.”  In partnering with county health departments, they’ll work to design ways physical activity opportunities can be integrated into schools, after-school programs, scouting and youth sports that are open to all children.

Atlantic Head Coach Kathy Hobson: “A birdie each for Baylee Newell and Hannah Alff – exciting for them!  Both birdies came on the par 3 #16 – tricky green to score on. Really pleased with how Hannah Alff bounced back from the Monday tournament and played the course tonight. Been waiting for her to score in the 40’s. As a team, we are having to take way to many penalty strokes. Our course management is costly to us.”

Struggled on 5 but finished with two birdies. Matt couldn’t get the putter going today. Good to see him stay at 40. Good to see Cyle stay in the 30s today.  Mason is continuing to get his score lower. Austin had some good holes and a few struggles. Needs to work on a few things yet. Nice to see Drey shoot better today. His score was close to counting today. Kuemper is a good team and had 4 back from last years state team. We had to shoot our best to win today. Good to see our guys shoot well to challenge them.  Next match is Thursday in Shenandoah.”

NE incident leads to chase and crash near Hamburg

News

April 25th, 2018 by Ric Hanson

(UPDATE) BELLEVUE, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say a police chase that began in suburban Omaha and wound south through southwest Iowa ended with a crash and the arrests of William Stanfill III and Jacqueline Streich, both of Omaha. Charges against the pair are pending in Fremont County. Bellevue, NE police investigating a reported drive-by shooting Tuesday night say a man in a vehicle fired at officers early Wednesday and then fled into Iowa. None of the officers was hit. Iowa State Patrol Sgt. Nathan Ludwig says an Iowa trooper intending to join the chase crashed his cruiser near Hamburg and was flown to an Omaha hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries. Ludwig identified him as Trooper Dillon Malone.
Numerous law enforcement agencies participated or responded to the pursuit and the events that followed, including Deputies with the Mills, Montgomery, Cass and Shelby County Sheriff’s Offices, as well as Shenandoah and Tabor Police, along with rescue units from Hamburg, Sidney and Riverton.
