DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Along with weather extremes including floods and drought, experts say a warmer Iowa climate also could boost the population of ticks, mosquitoes and fire ants and make poison ivy more potent. The Iowa Wildlife Federation says in a report released Tuesday the weather extremes brought on by climate change will likely alter the behavior of pests.
Dr. Yogesh Shah, associate dean of the global health department at Des Moines University says every increase in temperature by a degree or two increases mosquito populations by eight to tenfold. Ticks also grow faster in humid warm weather. He says last year Iowa had a 40 percent increase in Lyme disease.
Shah say poison ivy also could become even more toxic thanks to the rise in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

The Iowa Aviation Museum in Greenfield has announced an upcoming dedication ceremony will honor 27 men and women whose hard work has created the Iowa general aviation industry we enjoy today.
Opening in May 1990, the Iowa Aviation Museum, located in Greenfield, was formed to preserve, display and educate the public on Iowa’s rich aviation heritage. The collection includes many vintage aircraft and other historical memorabilia ranging from balloons of the 1800s to Iowa’s contribution to space exploration.
Aviation legend Howard Gregory dedicated the museum to the original Aviation Pioneers, the men and women whose hard work, tireless hours and sometimes dangerous efforts created the Iowa general aviation industry of airports, aerial transportation, instruction and agriculture applicators. As the museum approaches its silver anniversary, officials are honoring the next generation of Iowa aviation promoters.
These are the airport operators, pilots, mechanics, and salesmen whose untiring efforts continued the work of their predecessors to give us the Iowa aviation system we enjoy today. Many are the sons and daughters of the original aviation pioneers and for this reason shall be referred to as the “2nd Generation.”
Twenty-seven individuals were chosen by their peers and will be recognized at a formal ceremony including the dedication of a plaque bearing their names. Those names include: Jim Bartholomew; Charles Hawley; Ron Remmers; Larry Berens; Russ Knok; Hazel Sigafoose; Willard Carson; Bill Kyle; Dan C.B. Smith; Jim Connell; Ernie LeClaire; Bill Smothers; Mike Connell; Gary & Janet Lewis; J.B. Straley; Robert Dahl; John Lowe; Jerry Strunk; Ed Doyle; Ivan McBride; John Tibben; Richard Drake; Bob Mosley; Dick Westbrook;Paul Elmegreen; Lee Nichols and Russell Zangger.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Jon Jay was hit by a pitch from J.J. Hoover with the base-loaded in the ninth inning, lifting the St. Louis Cardinals to a 5-4 win over the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday night. Matt Holliday drew a leadoff walk to start the winning rally. He advanced to third on Matt Adams’ single. After Peter Bourjos ran for Holliday, Jhonny Peralta walked to load the bases. Hoover then plunked Jay to force in Bourjos with the winning run.
Pat Neshek pitched one inning of scoreless relief as the Cardinals won for the fifth time in six games and remained 2 1/2 games behind Milwaukee in the NL Central. The Reds have lost four in a row. Jay scored the tying run in the eighth on pinch-hitter Daniel Descalso’s RBI double.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — The St. Louis Cardinals have put second baseman Mark Ellis on the 15-day disabled list with a left oblique strain, retroactive to Aug. 15. Infielder Greg Garcia was recalled from Triple-A Memphis before Tuesday night’s game against Cincinnati.
The 37-year-old Ellis has not played since last Thursday against the Padres. He made four starts after rookie Kolten Wong returned from the disabled list on July 6. The 25-year-old Garcia was batting .275 with eight home runs and 40 RBIs in 103 games at Memphis. The left-handed hitter is batting .367 in August.
Garcia appeared in seven games earlier in the season and was 2 for 10 with an RBI. He was hit by a pitch in the 12th inning for the game-winning RBI against the Cubs on May 13.
Here is the latest Iowa news from The Associated Press
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) — Woodbury County officials are considering whether to add more nurses to treat inmates at the jail, after its sheriff pleaded for more support. The county board will look into costs before making a decision in September. County Sheriff Dave Drew told board members he needs the additional personnel to properly oversee inmates at the jail. Board Chairman George Boykin said there’s no money to add nurses in the current budget.
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Iowa’s field hockey players have released a statement supporting former coach Tracey Griesbaum, who was fired earlier this month. The players told the student newspaper, the Daily Iowan, that Griesbaum’s firing was “unfair and unjust.” The players went on to say that it left them questioning the leadership of the Iowa athletic department. Griesbaum told The Associated Press that her firing was based on false claims by former players that she bullied and mistreated them.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Two more Iowa counties have been added to a federal disaster declaration issued recently in response to severe weather.
