For those experiencing early signs of health risk factors for chronic illnesses, such as diabetes or heart disease, the Southern Prairie YMCA will offer its 4 Weeks to a Healthier You course in January.

This month-long course, offered in collaboration with Greater Regional Medical Center (GRMC) and Southwestern Community College (SWCC) Adult and Continuing Education, is intended to provide information and resources to help people meet their wellness goals.

“Chronic illness is preventable 75 to 80 percent of the time,” said Lynn Irr, health and wellness coordinator at Southern Prairie YMCA. “That’s an amazing amount of control. If people are wanting to be healthy and then are using the tools available, they could live better, less expensive, longer lives.

Chronic illness, on average, costs a person $6,000 more per year than someone without a chronic illness.”

The class will be held from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. on Tuesdays, Jan. 5, 12, 19 and 26 in the green room in the Performing Arts Center.

Cost is $25, which includes the classes, a journal and a month-long pass to the YMCA. While the course is open to anyone interested in learning to live a healthier life, it is especially geared toward those at risk for chronic disease or who are in the early stages of an illness.

“Unfortunately, too many people wait until it’s too late,” Irr said.

“Right now, one in three

third-graders will develop diabetes; that’s how the data is trending. We want to get this data out to our community, and if we start seeing indicators in our blood – that’s why annual wellness checkups are so wonderful – we can catch these train wrecks before they happen.”

Becky Baker, advanced registered nurse practitioner at GRMC, will lead the first class on Jan. 5.

“She’ll go over intrinsic motivation toward lifestyle change, share some eye-opening data about what’s going on in Iowa and nationally and talk about why it’s so important to fight back some of these early signs of health risk factors,” Irr said.

The other three class meetings will be led by Ginny Lents, director of dietary services at GRMC, and Dana Dodge, a certified personal trainer at Southern Prairie YMCA. Lents will offer nutritional aspects of a healthi-

Damage estimate is $300 to the mobile home. Nobody was injured in the fire.

Stone was being held in Taylor County Jail on $25,000 bond.

Iowa to lift exhibitions ban imposed because of bird flu DES MOINES (AP) — Iowa plans to lift the state ban on bird exhibitions imposed in May as bird flu spread through the state’s turkey and chicken farms.

T h e I o w a Department of Agriculture and L a n d Stewa r d s h i p Northey says the order will be lifted on Friday.

Iowa Agriculture Secretary Bill Northey said in

a news release Tuesday that the announcement “is very good news and another sign that we continue to recover from this devastating animal health emergency.”

The department says no new cases of bird flu have been confirmed in Iowa since June.

Bird flu first surfaced a year ago on the West Coast and spread to flocks in 15 states over six months, resulting in the death of 48 million birds.

Iowa lost the most — nearly 32 million, and mostly egg-laying chickens.

Texas cleans up after twisters, ice in Midwest GARLAND, Texas (AP) — Jacqui Gordon spent Monday sifting through the debris that had been her home, searching for old family photographs — especially of her father, who died two years ago.

She and nine others were enjoying a holiday gathering when winds began to rattle her home in suburban Dallas. They all dashed into closets and suffered only bumps and bruises, but Gordon’s roof was torn away and her house destroyed.

“I just got divorced, and this is all I had,” she said.

At least 11 people died and dozens were injured in the tornadoes that swept through the Dallas area Saturday. Snow from New Mexico through the Midwest, plus flooding in Arkansas, Missouri and Illinois, added to the succession of severe weather events across the country in the last week that led to

about four dozen deaths.

The storm system brought heavy snow, ice and blustery winds to several states in the nation’s midsection, as well as heavy rain in already-waterlogged areas.

More than 2,800 flights across the U.S. were canceled Monday — more than half of them at Chicago’s two main airports — and around 4,800 were delayed, according to flight-tracking service FlightAware. A typical day sees about 150 cancellations and 4,000

Highways turned icy and treacherous in New Mexico, while Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin declared a state of emergency after blizzard conditions affected parts of the state and heavy rains fell.

The Oklahoma Highway Patrol said the body of a 22-year-old man was recovered in northern Oklahoma but a second man, the lead singer of the country-rock band Backroad Anthem, was still missing after the two went duck hunting and their boat capsized. The body of a 36-year-old man who tried to cross a creek in his pickup near the town of Arpelar was also recovered Monday afternoon, the

patrol said.

Officials in Arkansas said a 31-year-old man died in a storm-related drowning.

Several inches of rain caused flooding in Illinois and Missouri, where Gov. Jay Nixon also declared a state of emergency. Nixon says the state’s death toll from days of pounding rainfall has risen to 10, and he expects that number to grow.

Lenora Karstensen, 95, of Villisca, formerly of Corning, died Monday, Dec. 28, 2015, at Good Samaritan Society in Villisca.

Memori- Karstensen al services will be 10:30 a.m. Thursday, Dec. 31, at Pearson Family Funeral Service, 701 Seventh St., in Corning, with the Rev. Ken Rummer officiating.

A private family interment will be held in Walnut Grove Cemetery in Corning. Open visitation with family present will be 5 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 30, at the funeral home. Memorials may be directed to the Good Samaritan Society, 202 Central Ave., Villisca, Iowa 50864 and Heartland Hospice, 2301 Eastern Ave., Red Oak, Iowa 51566.

Mary Lenora Karstensen, daughter of George and Nellie (Nelson) Schafer, was born Aug.18, 1920, in Lincoln Center. She attended grade school at Fairview, Lincoln No. 6, and graduated from Corning High School in 1939. She received her normal training teacher’s certificate and taught two years at the Houck School in Douglas Township.

Lenora married Max Miller in 1940. They later divorced. In 1949, Lenora began teaching at Lincoln Center and taught there for nine years. In 1962, she began working for the Selective Service office in Corn-

Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant said Monday the state is seeking a federal disaster declaration for some or all of the seven counties hit by a tornado last week. Authorities in Georgia said they recovered the body of a man whose car was swept away when floodwaters overtook it.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott made disaster declarations Sunday for four counties — Dallas, Collin, Rockwall and Ellis. Officials estimated as many as 1,450 homes in North Texas were damaged or destroyed by at least nine tornadoes.

The National Weather Service has said an EF-4 tornado, which is the second-most powerful with winds up to more than 200 mph, hit Garland. Eight people died there, 15 were injured and more than 600 structures, mostly single-family homes, were damaged.

“I’ve never seen anything like this, with this scale of destruction,” Police Chief Mitch Bates said Monday.

He said authorities believe all eight of the tornado victims there, which included a 1-year-old, died when their vehicles were thrown from overpasses in the area of Interstate 30 and the George Bush Turnpike, a major route in the region.

North of Dallas in Collin County, neighbors and emergency responders had tried to save a tiny victim of the powerful storms.

ing, and then in the Creston office. When the office was eventually closed, Lenora worked for the United States Postal Service as a part-time clerk and city carrier. She also worked for the Pearson Family Funeral Service in Corning, Villisca and Lenox for many years.

Lenora married Norman “Stormy” Karstensen in June 1964, and they made Corning their home for many years. In 2009, Lenora moved to Vintage Park Apartments in Lenox and in 2012, she moved to the Good Samaritan Society in Villisca.

Lenora was a member of Corning First Presbyterian Church and was a former Sunday school teacher.

Lenora is survived by her daughters, Janiece Brokaw of Villisca and Rita Rohrssen of Woodstock, Georgia; grandchildren, Robb Wheeler of Corning, Brenda Barber of Des Moines, Norman Bruns of Sigourney, Michael Bruns of Hubbard, Kevin Lawrence of Kansas City, Missouri, Wendy Rohrssen of Woodstock, Georgia, and Christy Henderson of Chicago, Illinois; nine great-grandchildren; three great-great-grandchildren; and many nieces, nephews and other relatives and friends.

Lenora was preceded in death by her parents; first husband Max Miller in 1980; second husband Stormy in 1993; daughters, Mary Bruns in 2003 and Aneita Wheeler in 2015; grandson Andrew; granddaughter Barb; great-grandchild R.J.; sonsin-law, Jerry Rohrssen and Larry Wheeler; brothers, Delmont, Ornal, Boyd and Seymour Schafer and sisters, Lucille Lemon, Lola Vogel and Velma Schafer. the damage when she heard a neighbor’s scream and saw Jose Daniel Santillano appear with his newborn daughter. She said Santillano asked her to take the girl to the hospital, and she headed out with another neighbor.

“I kept saying, ‘Oh, my God. Be OK, baby. Be OK,’” King recalled. “Her little hand was cold. I kept praying.”

King and local authorities say they found a game warden who performed CPR until an ambulance arrived — but the infant didn’t survive.

Both the husband and wife were hospitalized Monday. The family’s trailer was blown off its base.

“It’s bad enough that the tornado took their home,” King said. “But to take the baby, too, that’s wrong.”

Interstate 40, the main east-west highway across the Panhandle, reopened Monday morning. After a standstill of several hours, traffic began moving slowly where Interstate 10 splits into Interstate 20 in West Texas. Most other roads across West Texas and the Panhandle had also reopened by late Monday, although snow-packed roads and ice made driving hazardous.

Vito Randazzo of California said he sat on I-10 for about 13 hours and people were sleeping in their cars.

Around 9 a.m. Monday he was able to see to drive across a median and get onto a service road.

A shopping mall in Lubbock, which got about a foot of snow, was closed after heavy snow collapsed part of the center’s roof. No injuries were reported.

GasBuddy: Gasoline prices continue to fall Average retail gasoline prices in Iowa have fallen 7.9 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $1.88 per gallon Sunday, according to gasoline price website GasBuddy’s daily survey of 2,036 gas outlets in Iowa. This compares with the national average of $2 per gallon, which has not moved in the last week, according to GasBuddy.com.

Areas nearby Iowa and their current gas price climates are: Quad Cities: $1.78 per gallon, down 4.1 cents.

Des Moines: $1.95 per gallon, down 20.1 cents.

Omaha: $1.88 per gallon, down 7.2 cents.

gallon lower than the same day one year ago and are 18.0 cents per gallon lower than a month ago. The national average has decreased 4.2 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 28.2 cents per gallon lower than this day one year ago.

“As the majority of the United States is still experiencing falling retail gas prices, California and the Great Lakes states are buoying the national average, keeping it from dropping further below $2 per gallon,” said Will Speer, a Houston-based

senior petroleum analyst with GasBuddy. “After a healthy 5.9 million barrel draw in domestic crude stocks, crude futures markets responded with gains in the price of West Texas Intermediate crude.”

“Despite this bullish pressure, 38 of the 50 states saw a weekly decline in gas prices. However, this majority of states lowering gas prices wasn’t enough to move the national average significantly, a testament to the severity of California’s gas price hike,” Speer said. “As the refining issues impacting

“I’ll do an exercise component on basic things you can do to get more steps in, how to work out at home and a weightlifting component,” Dodge said.

The course is part of a statewide YMCA project to encourage healthier living. This will be the second time Southern Prairie YMCA has held 4 Weeks to a Healthier You. Eventually, Irr said they would like to offer the class three or four times per year.

“We’re hoping word gets out and that healthcare providers will consider this as a tool, one of the many tools they can use,” Irr said. “When you’re dealing with something like chronic illness, it’s got to be a community effort.

If we treat it as such, the possibilities are astounding.”

Dodge added: “It’s a great course. We try to be a no-judgment zone.

We’re just there to help you create a healthier lifestyle and reach the goals you want to reach.”

While the course is offered, the YMCA will have childcare for children between six weeks and 7 years old for $2 per child.

The registration deadline is Jan. 1.

Northey: record number of beekeeping schools scheduled for 2016 DES MOINES – Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey encouraged Iowans interested in beekeeping to consider enrolling in one of the beekeeping schools that will be held around the state again in 2016. There are a record number of 27 courses that will be held across the state for both the beginner and advanced beekeeper.

“We continue to see interest grow in beekeeping, both among hobbyists who might just have a hive or two and commercial producers who can have 1,000s of hives,” Northey said.

“These courses provide an excellent opportunity for new beekeepers or those who are interested in getting started to learn from experienced Iowa beekeepers who understand our seasons and environment how to successfully raise bees.”

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Tuesday, December 29, 2015

An open letter to Mother Nature Dear Mother Nature, We need to talk.

I’m sure you think it’s hilarious and all, ending a long holiday weekend by dumping a foot of snow on our state. I get it, it’s like a practical joke.

The problem is, it’s not that funny.

I know what you’re thinking.

“They’re Iowans. They can take it.” And we can. We always do.

Armed with industrial-sized shovels and snow blowers with more horsepower than our trucks, we’ll combat your latest bombardment with the same tenacity we’ve used since the December of 1846.

But that doesn’t change the fact that your timing was just plain off.

It sent our weekend Christmas guests home early, made Monday morning an unnecessary chore

Ian’s inklings Ian Richardson staff writer

and once again proved that fluffy white precipitation means half the population — myself included — is hard-pressed to remember how to drive.

Now, I understand that our relationship over the past couple years has changed. I used to pray for a foot of snow every weeknight from late August through mid-May. You probably thought you were doing me a favor yesterday. But in case you haven’t noticed, I work for a living now, and we don’t get snow days. All the schools are on Christmas break anyway.

Speaking of Christmas, are you aware that you missed it entirely?

Flurries on Christmas Eve were a nice gesture, but they barely lasted. By the time the big day rolled around, temperatures were near 40 degrees, and the holiday turned out to be rather, well, brown. Definitely nothing worthy of a Bing Crosby song.

Do you realize how hard it is to listen to a song like “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas” when it very obviously doesn’t?

Or “Walking in a Winter Wonderland” when, if not for the calendar, you could swear it was October?

Anyone up for a “Sleigh Ride?”

Too bad. Our reindeer would have gotten stuck in the mud. Feliz Navidad, indeed.

But then Monday happened.

And, just in time for Christmas

carols to be off the radio, you let it snow. The problem was, this time we all had someplace else to go.

Don’t get me wrong, I hold no hard feelings toward you whatsoever. You have, after all, been at this much longer than I’ve been around. Honestly, I’d be remiss if I didn’t say that you’ve been all too kind this year. We had a nice long autumn, which as you know is my favorite season. And I can’t complain about the mild winter thus far, either.

So, here I am, at 23, already beginning to complain about the fluffy white stuff like an old curmudgeon. But deep, deep down, I do love the snow. I may hate scooping it, I may hate clearing it off my windshield, and I may hate driving in it, but there’s something magical about it, too. It just wouldn’t be an

Iowa winter without it.

Looks like our meteorologists are forecasting another snowfall tomorrow. Right now they’re predicting just a little, but we both know you always get the last laugh in these matters. Just please, please don’t do anything too crazy.

And, if it’s not too much trouble, don’t forget to drop us a few flakes next Christmas.

Provided, of course, that you don’t get too carried away.

Sincerely, Your friend Ian P.S. I received your Christmas card in the mail last week. You and Father Time are looking, as always, ageless.

BEVERLY HILLS — God Bless America, and how’s everybody?

The Beverly Hills Hotel held its annual Christmas Day buffet Friday in the world famous Polo Lounge, where it’s all-you-caneat for only a hundred and fifty dollars. The desserts are just out of this world. The chef makes a chocolate pie so dark and so rich that one of the Kardashians married it.

Los Angeles Airport reported handling a record three million air travelers over the Christmas weekend. The holiday scene in L.A. often mixes up the sacred with the secular. The Nativity Scene at the Beverly Hills Courthouse includes a statue of Maury Povich announcing that God’s the father.

Queen Elizabeth II gave her annual Christmas Day message to the world’s English speaking people Friday. Sixty-five years ago, she reigned over a quarter of the entire globe but now it’s down to one island. The Queen is worth billions of dollars today for a reason, because she sold short.

Donald Trump attended a candlelight Christmas Eve service at Bethesda-by-the-Sea Episcopal Church in Palm Beach. He’s very picky. Trump will attend an Episcopal church, a Methodist church or a Presbyterian church, but any lower than that and they might be chewing gum in the choir.

Miss Colombia Adriane Gutierrez of the Miss Universe mis-crowning controversy was offered a million dollars and her

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

choice of partners by an L.A. porn studio owner if she will star in a porn movie. She chose Steve Harvey. And then she said she’d made a huge mistake, she meant Chris Rock.

The Hollywood Reporter said records of celebrity political contributions show that Hollywood is overwhelmingly Democratic in donations. It all comes back. On Christmas Eve, Governor Jerry Brown pardoned Robert Downey Jr. for his past drug use and Charlie Sheen for his future drug use.

Charlie Sheen gave an interview to the National Enquirer on Wednesday in which the TV star vowed that HIV picked the wrong guy to infect and that he’s going to find a cure for HIV. Hollywood lives by one superstition.

If you think seven years is bad for breaking a mirror, try breaking a condom.

The Washington Post reports Homeland Security is preparing to launch a nationwide push to find and deport a hundred thousand Central American families who followed their children north across the border last year. We have got to protect those kids.

They represent the future of U.S. soccer.

The Homeland Security Department’s plan to seize illegal immigrants in their residences and

deport them is set for January.

The plan doesn’t cover Asians.

Donald Trump said as president he would not only have a tougher immigration policy with Asians, he would announce it in the middle of a spelling bee.

Donald Trump reminded a big crowd in Michigan Tuesday that as president he’ll build a wall on the Mexican border. Trump added that he will deport every immigrant who is working in the U.S. illegally. His poll numbers went up afterwards, proving Americans don’t really like vegetables anyway.

The USS Iowa will fire its guns at an Iowa Hawkeyes pep rally in Long Bach prior to the Rose Bowl game with Stanford. Good thing they’re not playing Notre Dame.

If God fired off Mt. St Helens in response, He could face a huge fine from the EPA and a stiff lecture from the White House.

Bill Cosby counter-sued eight of his accusers and accused model Beverly Johnson of trying to revive her career by falsely accusing him of rape. This story has dragged on for over a year now, when it should have been over in two weeks. It just underscores what a great storyteller Bill Cosby is.

Language Journal published a study that found that people who swear and use foul language have better vocabularies than those who don’t. So cussers are just slumming. Donald Trump said his rise in the polls after his schlong reference to Hillary turned out be ineffably serendipitous.

Bleach and ammonia shouldn’t mingle Dear Heloise: I read your column in the Rapid City (S.D.) Journal and love it.

My husband is upset because I keep BLEACH AND AMMONIA in the same cupboard. He says that it is a fire hazard. Is that right? — Sue S., via email Sue, go with your husband on this. The two sitting side by side should not CAUSE a fire, but if they combined, it could be hazardous. The issue is more about them accidentally mixing, or if one leaked, got knocked over, etc. Combined, they become a toxic gas (chlorine gas) that is dangerous and can be fatal. To be safe, keep them in separate cabinets, or at least not next to each other.

— Heloise HELOISE’S HOT COCOA Dear Heloise: It’s the time of year for hot drinks. I love your cocoa mix, but when I went to make some, I could not find my recipe. Please reprint it! — Sally D. in Colorado My HELOISE COCOA MIX is a favorite, and nothing tastes better on a cold winter’s day. You need to gather the following: 1 cup of powdered sugar

Hints from Heloise 1/4 cup of cocoa A dash of salt 2 cups of powdered milk Mix all the ingredients in an airtight container. When ready to use, place approximately 4 tablespoons (more or less for your taste) into a cup with 8 ounces of boiling water. Add mini marshmallows or whipped cream to finish. If you’d like more of my favorite recipes, order my All-Time Favorite Recipes pamphlet!

Go online to www.Heloise. com, or send $5 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (71 cents) envelope to: Heloise/ Recipes, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001.

Add 1 tablespoon of malted milk powder for creamier hot chocolate! — Heloise SAFE DRINKING Dear Heloise: I carry a package of bendy straws (with an accordion section) in my glove box and use them when I have a soft drink while driving. You can hold the can level (less chance of spilling),

and you don’t need to worry whether the can is in the right spot. It’s safer because you don’t need to tip the can in front of your face. — Chris W., Haiku, Maui, Hawaii Chris, it’s all about safety!

Thanks for writing. — Mahalo, Heloise SHOPPING HINT Dear Heloise: Frustrated by losing small objects, such as lipsticks, pens, nail polish, etc., from shopping carts?

Then try this: I first stop at the produce department and pick up a clear plastic bag available for produce. I put the small objects in the bag, and ask the cashier to put them back in the bag after scanning and then tie the top. — F.D. in Florida HOUSEGUESTS BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker Dear Heloise: Recently, when getting ready for houseguests, I wanted to provide a few drawers for them in the dressers. The available drawers were not in a row, or even in the same piece of furniture.

Horoscope Wednesday, Dec. 30, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You might have bright ideas about how to make improvements at work. Unfortunately, someone in authority might not agree with you.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your efforts to encourage kids or perhaps to improve a romantic relationship might get off on the wrong foot today, especially if there’s not enough money to do something.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Your suggestions about how to improve something at home might not go over well with a partner or someone older in the family. Basically, people resist change, don’t they?

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You are convincing today, which is why this is a good day for sales, marketing, teaching, writing and acting.

Nevertheless, someone at work might oppose you.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You can see better ways to use your money; in fact, you also might see better uses for something that you own. Believe in your good ideas, and don’t let others discourage you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Today the Moon is in your sign, dancing with Pluto, which can make you have a strong emotional outburst if someone tries to put you down. This might happen.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You will make every effort to research something today and delve deeply into whatever you want to learn. What you do learn might then make you angry with someone.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) If someone who is older or more experienced in a group situation throws his or her weight around, you will not be happy. You don’t want to be ignored or dismissed.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) A public argument might take place today — one in which others will notice you.

Keep this in mind before you sound off at anyone. Don’t get egg on your face.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You might be excited about racial issues or something to do with religion and politics today. If your views are too strong, you will be at odds with someone older.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb.

18) You might be shocked at how someone chooses to share something with you — or not share something! Be cool so that you can solve this problem.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You will have to go more than halfway when talking to others today, because the Moon is opposite your sign. In addition, you are a bit excitable. Stay mellow.

YOU BORN TODAY You are pragmatic, realistic and organized, which makes it tough

for you to work for those who aren’t. Because you are heading for a time of financial accumulation in the next three years, settle your debts this year. If you clear away indebtedness you will be in the best position possible. Consolidate your affairs this year to grow in the future.

THE NUMBERS GAME

Straight 11-win seasons by the Denver Broncos, doing so for the first time in franchise history.

NATIONAL DIGEST

Broncos rally DENVER — In his sixth start, Denver Broncos quarterback Brock Osweiler had to lead two winning drives.

It looked as if Osweiler had helped the Broncos to a victory, and playoff berth, in regulation. But kicker Brandon McManus missed what would have been the winning field goal as time expired in regulation. McManus redeemed himself on the opening drive in overtime, hitting a 37-yard field goal that eventually gave the Broncos a 2017 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals in Sports Authority Field at Mile High.

“Sometimes that’s just how the game goes,” said Osweiler of the missed field goal. “But our team has a lot of special guys on it, and those guys are willing to fight for sometimes 60-plus minutes. We have had to do that couple of times this year. It’s just a heck of a team effort, great win in front of the best fans in the world.”

After a shaky first half, the rejuvenated Broncos put together a touchdown drive to open the third quarter and another early in the fourth to formally put themselves into the playoff field. With a win over the San Diego Chargers Sunday in the regular-season finale, the Broncos will clinch their fifth consecutive AFC West title.

Osweiler finished 27 of 39 for 299 yards and a touchdown. He is now 4-2 as a starter and has wins over the New England Patriots and Bengals in overtime.

Chapman trade The New York Yankees have bolstered an already dominant bullpen by acquiring hard-throwing All-Star closer Aroldis Chapman from the Cincinnati Reds for four minor leaguers, the teams announced Monday.

The Reds, who have shed several veterans in the past six months, get right-handers Caleb Cotham and Rookie Davisand infielders Eric Jagielo and Tony Renda from New York.

“We felt this was an opportunity for us to add a big arm to our bullpen,’’ said Yankees general manager Brian Cashman, who already had flamethrowers Dellin Betances and Andrew Miller at the back end of his bullpen.

The addition of Chapman sets up the possibility of a lockdown bullpen that can effectively shorten games to six innings, thereby reducing the demands on the Yankees’ aging and shaky starting rotation.

But trading for Chapman comes with a real element of risk. A baseball source with knowledge of the situation told ESPN’s Wallace Matthews that the Yankees made the trade knowing both Florida law enforcement officials and Major League Baseball are continuing to investigate the Oct. 30 incident in which Chapman allegedly choked his girlfriend and then fired eight shots from a handgun in the garage of his Davie, Florida, home.

Iowa’s Desmond King looking sharp ahead of Rose Bowl

By DAN GREENSPAN Associated Press

LOS ANGELES (AP) — If Desmond King has been distracted by his looming decision of whether to declare for the NFL draft, the top cornerback for Iowa isn’t letting it show in his preparations for the Rose Bowl.

Hawkeyes defensive coordinator Phil Parker said King has been especially sharp in practices ahead of Friday’s game against Stanford, which will cap a spectacular junior season in which he won the Jim Thorpe Award as the nation’s best defensive back.

“He takes every game

like it is the biggest game, just prepares for it the same way,” linebacker Cole Fisher said. “Treats it like a championship game, I guess, and he is treating this one no differently. If anything, he is working even harder than he usually does.”

King is regarded as a likely firstr o u n d pick if he skips his senior season, but said Monday he remains split King on staying or going.

He is still waiting to receive his draft evaluation from the NFL.

“It’s kind of 50-50 right now,” King said. “I’m thinking about staying. There’s a good chance, but right now I honestly don’t know what my decision is. It goes back and forth every time.”

Despite leading the Big Ten with eight interceptions this season, King is just as interested in showing off how well-rounded he is against the punishing Cardinal rushing offense and Heisman Trophy runner-up Christian McCaffrey. King said he would even be willing to take on guard Joshua Garnett when he pulls on Stanford’s trademark power run despite giving up more than 120 pounds to Garnett.

Fisher praised King’s willingness to defend the run,

Jayhawks begin pursuit of 12th straight Big 12 championship

By DAVE SKRETTA AP Sports Writer

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Every year, Kansas coach Bill Self insists the league is the toughest it has ever been, that there is better balance top to bottom and anybody can beat anybody on any given day.

They’re all clichés. Maybe they’re all true, too.

But here is something that is also true: The Jayhawks always end up on top in the end.

Self’s bunch begins pursuit of its 12th straight regular-season championship when the league gets rolling with a full slate of games Saturday.

That would break a tie for second-most in college hoops with Gonzaga, and trail only the UCLA teams from 1967-

79 for most titles in a row.

“It should be a fun time,” Self said. “It will be an unbelievable league again, just like it has been, maybe as good this year as it ever has been. So whoever is fortunate enough to be the last one standings will have to be very consistent and play very well for a long time.”

That’s because the Big 12 puts its teams through a double-round robin schedule, with everybody playing everybody else at home and away.

So while teams may get away with playing a heavyweight just once in some leagues, every team has Oto face mighty EC SEL and inside Kansas at home E DI Allen Fieldhouse.

They may stop the Jayhawks once. Very few have stopped them twice.

comparing his all-around game to former Iowa standout and current Green Bay Packers defensive back Micah Hyde. While many corners shy away from contact, King is a willing tackler.

“Their goal — this is what I’ve heard from our offensive coaches — is to get the corners to make the tackles because that is not their main job,” Fisher said.

“He has shown all along it doesn’t faze him at all. He gets his nose dirty. He gets right on in there.”

King will also have to defend Stanford’s tight ends in the passing game, especially inside the red zone. Parker believes facing the Iowa tandem of Henry KriegO EC SEL er-Coble and George Kittle E DI

in practice should be more than enough to prepare King.

And if he gets to coach King for one more season, Parker would place an emphasis on refining his consistency. With King often lining up in different spots on defense and doubling as Iowa’s return specialist handling both kickoffs and punts, he can occasionally lose focus, though that hasn’t been the case with his draft decision on deck.

“Being a good player, I’m expecting him to play at his highest level on every play,” Parker said. “For him to get beat on one play is not good enough for my standards for him.”

Creston News Advertiser | Tuesday, December 29, 2015

Report: Iowa will gain jobs, increase income by investing in clean energy DES MOINES — NextGen Climate America, NextGen Climate’s sister organization, released a new economic analysis by ICF international, a management, technology, and policy consulting firm, showing that cutting carbon pollution will create thousands of jobs in Iowa, help grow the state’s economy and increase Iowa families’ household disposable incomes.

“In Iowa, we know firsthand that embracing clean energy creates jobs and prosperity for our communities,” said Zack Davis, NextGen Climate State director. “This report shows that by doubling down on Iowa’s clean energy leadership, we can create thousands of more jobs and put more money in the pockets of Iowa families. Now, it’s up for the presidential candidates visiting the Hawkeye State to tell us their concrete plan to seize this economic opportunity and build a clean energy economy that works for everyone.”

NextGen Climate economic analysis predicts clean energy could create up to 18,000 new jobs and boost the economy $2.8 billion by 2050.

■

Key findings of the report are that a clean energy economy will: • Create up to 11,000 additional Iowa jobs by 2030 and 18,000 new jobs by 2050; • Boost Iowa’s economy by $1.7 billion by 2030 and $2.8 billion by 2050; • Increase Iowa families’ household disposable income by almost $340 in 2030 and almost $250 in 2050.

Based on data from E3’s (energy plus environment economics) Pathways to Deep Decarbonization in the United States report, the economic analysis confirms that transitioning to clean energy isn’t just good for the environment – it is also key to job creation and ensuring a prosperous economic future

for Iowa. Transitioning to clean energy will grow the Hawkeye State’s manufacturing sector, creating 7,400 new jobs by 2030 and nearly 7,800 additional jobs by 2050. Building out the clean energy infrastructure and facilities needed to power Iowa’s economy will create more than 2,800 additional construction jobs by 2030 and over 5,800 new jobs by 2050.

It is important to note that this report does not take into account the negative impacts that climate change will have on Iowa’s economy or the adverse health impacts climate change will have on Iowa families, and so it understates the economic benefits of a transition to clean energy.

Iowa is already feeling the neg-

ative impacts of climate change on its economy. For instance, between 2010 and 2012 extreme weather cost Iowa $4.3 billion, mostly in damage to crops. In 2012, Iowa experienced its worst drought since 1936, and as the country’s largest producer of corn and soybeans, it was particularly devastated due to widespread harvest failure of these crops.

Meanwhile, increased precipitation has caused Iowa cities to suffer multi-million dollar losses from flooding, requiring over $3 billion in federal and state aid to recover.

From 2003-2013, Iowa experienced 15 weather disasters that each cost $1 billion or more. And without serious action to combat climate change, this trend will only worsen.

Failing to address climate change will also adversely impact the health of Iowa families. Since the 1980s, Iowa has seen a dramatic increase in the prevalence of respiratory problems related to ozone

and particulate matter – both of which are projected to increase as climate change worsens. In 2011 alone, asthma caused over 2,000 hospitalizations in Iowa averaging $12,100 in medical costs per stay. In 2014, asthma-related emergency room visits in the Hawkeye State topped 12,400.

Reducing greenhouse gas emissions by transitioning Iowa’s economy to clean energy is possible with existing technology, and it will create jobs, grow the economy, raise household incomes and protect Iowa families against the worst impacts of climate change.

This report builds on NextGen Climate America’s analysis in November showing that meeting carbon emissions reduction goals at the national level will help grow the United States economy, create millions of jobs across the country, increase household disposable incomes and lower energy bills.
