Consider an Iowa grown Christmas tree this holiday season Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey again encourages Iowans to consider choosing a fresh, Iowa grown Christmas tree to decorate their home this holiday season. “Selecting a fresh Christmas tree can be part of a great family tradition and is an opportunity to connect with an Iowa farmer and support the local economy,� Northey said. “Iowa is fortunate to have more than 100 Christmas tree farms in all parts of the state, so everyone has the opportunity to get their own fresh tree to help celebrate.� Over 1,500 acres are devoted to Christmas tree production in Iowa and as a result harvest approximately 39,500 Christmas trees each year. The result is a $1 million dollar industry contributing to Iowa’s economy. It takes 6-12 years to grow a Christmas tree before it is ready

to be sold. Most tree farms in Iowa are 3-8 acres in size and sell trees by choose and harvest method, where a customer comes to the farm cut their own tree. Following are tips to keep in mind to make a trip to a Christmas tree farm more enjoyable: • Know what size tree ďŹ ts in your home, both height and width, before leaving for the farm. Trees always look smaller in the ďŹ eld and there is nothing worse than bringing a tree indoors only to

ďŹ nd it’s too big. • Wear comfortable clothes, sturdy shoes, and gloves that can get dirty. • Make sure the tree has a straight trunk and will ďŹ t properly in the tree stand. • Fresh trees need water, up to a gallon daily. Remember to check the water daily. • Unplug any tree lights before leaving home or going to bed. • Remember – fresh cut Christmas trees are biodegradable! Recycle the tree after Christmas. If not putting the tree up right away, store it in an unheated garage or some other area out of the wind and cold (freezing) temperatures. When bringing the tree into the house, cut o one inch at the base end and place the tree in a bucket of warm water. “Follow these tips and your family will be able to enjoy a beautiful, fresh and locally grown Christmas tree throughout the holiday season,â€? Northey said.

As we move toward the 2016 session, the careful budget-making strategy adopted by the Legislature will allow us to maintain our investments in expanding Iowa’s middle class in all 99 counties. This includes aordable higher education, 21st century job training and a good education for our schoolchildren. That’s because we balance the state budget in a ďŹ scally responsible way. Under Iowa law, we never budget for more than 99% of what the state takes in, and often signiďŹ cantly less. We use a cautious approach to determining how much to spend by looking at recent revenue estimates of a nonpartisan panel of experts. Each year, at least 1% of the state budget goes into savings accounts, which include a cash reserve fund and an economic emergency fund. This is the money that gets us by in hard times, such as an economic recession or a natural disaster. We currently have more than $700 million in our reserve funds, the largest amount in state history. Iowa’s approach to budgeting wins widespread praise: • Based on a comprehensive review of data, 24/7 Wall St. rates the 50 states by how well they’re run. In its most recent study, Iowa ranked number four in the nation. Among our state’s attributes: low debt, a strong credit rating and a wellmanaged budget. • Iowa consistently earns a Triple A credit rating from Standard and Poor’s. This top rating means the state of Iowa has an “extremely strong capacity to meet ďŹ nancial commitmentsâ€? in full and on time. • Iowa’s rainy day funds equal about 10% of the state budget and are among the strongest in the country, according to the Tax Foundation. • Iowa is one of only eight states to receive an “Aâ€? grade from the U.S. Public Interest Research Group because we make it easy for Manchester Iowans to see how their tax dollars are spent.

Avoid damaging seasonal equipment –

Tips for proper fuel use and storage Across the United States this fall and winter, lawn mowers and other seasonal outdoor power equipment should have their remaining fuel removed before a long winter nap. The Outdoor Power Equipment Institute (OPEI) offers fuel use and storage tips to help consumers who are winterizing their equipment investments. “Proper fuel use of outdoor power equipment is easy to accomplish and important to be mindful of as we change seasons,” said Kris Kiser, president and CEO of the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute (OPEI). “Whether we’re filling our jerry cans at the pump, or putting equipment away for the season, there are some important things to remember in order to protect equipment and avoid costly misuse.” Tip #1: Look before pumping. Most gasoline contains 10% ethanol (E10), which is safe for your equipment. But many gas pumps now offer higher ethanol blended gas – such as 15, 30, 50 or 85 percent ethanol gas. These higher blends are not designed for use in outdoor power equipment and may cause damage or failure. And remember, fuels containing ethanol can potentially stale over time. To be safe, try to avoid purchasing more than what you’ll need for 30 days. Tip #2: Properly dispose of leftover fuel. Whether left in the tank or in a gas can on the shelf, it’s easy to forget how old fuel is. Take note of when the fuel was purchased and properly dispose of it after a month. Tip #3: Run the tank dry or drain unused fuel out of the equipment being storing. A safe and easy way to dispose of fuel is to run the engine until the tank is empty. One can also add fuel stabilizer to the gas, run the engine so it circulates throughout the system, and then safely drain the tank. This step ensures that any residual fuel remaining in the equipment after the tank has drained is treated.

It’s not too late for that u shot! Submitted by Delaware County Public Health

With inuenza or the â€œďŹ‚uâ€? increasing in the state, now is a good reminder that it’s not too late to get the annual u shot. Everyone is at risk for the u but especially children, adults 65+, pregnant women, and individuals with chronic health conditions – heart, lung, kidney, or weakened immune systems – can become much more ill when they contract this disease. Inuenza viruses are always changing, so annual vaccination is recommended. Flu vaccination usually drops o quickly after the end of November because many people believe getting vaccinated after that time is too late. “That’s simply not true,â€? said Delaware

The News & The Guide County Public Health Manager Delma Hardin. “As long as u viruses are circulating, people can get sick. We know u activity generally peaks in January or February and lasts into the spring, so it is deďŹ nitely not too late to get a u shot.â€? It takes about two weeks after vaccination for the body’s immune response to provide full protection. “With u activity increasing and family and friends gathering for the holidays, now is a great time to get a u shot to protect yourself and your loved ones,â€? said Hardin. The u is a contagious respiratory illness that can be spread easily from person to person by coughing, sneezing, or nasal secretions. The u comes on quickly. Symptoms may include

fever, cough, sore throat, headache, muscle aches, fatigue, or a runny or stuy nose. Illness usually lasts two to seven days. The u can cause high fever and pneumonia and make existing medical conditions worse. “Each year, the u kills thousands of people and hospitalizes even more,â€? says Hardin. “The recommendation is for everyone six months and older to be vaccinated and it’s especially important to be vaccinated if you have regular contact with people more vulnerable to the complications of u.â€? More facts about inuenza can be found at www.cdc.gov/u. To schedule a u shot, call Delaware County Public Health at 563-927-7551, Regional Family Health at 563-927-7777, or a healthcare provider.

Transitioning to Medicare from the ACA Marketplace By Nick Gerhart, Iowa Insurance Commissioner

Health insurance can sometimes be confusing, but people are often hesitant to ask questions. One area that can be especially confusing is when Iowans are about to become eligible for Medicare at age 65 and have a marketplace plan. It can be difficult to understand how Medicare will soon factor into healthcare equations. The marketplace was set up to help individuals who either don’t have health insurance coverage or purchase their own individual health insurance coverage. Medicare is health insurance so, if a person currently is on Medicare or are eligible for Medicare, in nearly every instance the marketplace is not the right option. Marketplace plans are not designed to coordinate with Medicare. Also, once Medicare starts, any marketplace premium tax credit or help with costs ends. If a person is not yet Medicare-eligible, the marketplace or a

plan offered by an employer may be able to help bridge the gap until the person is eligible for Medicare. Medicare has four parts (A,B,C and D). Medicare Part A deals with hospital and facility costs. Medicare Part B deals with medical costs. Together Medicare Parts A and B are generally called “Original Medicare.� Medicare Part C, also referred to as “Medicare Advantage,� is an alternative option to Original Medicare that may be purchased through private health insurance companies. Medicare Part D deals with prescription drugs. There are many choices to be made with Medicare. Sometimes those choices, like choosing to delay coverage, can have lasting effects in terms of penalties if certain rules and procedures aren’t followed. This is particularly true for individuals approaching Medicare eligibility who have a marketplace plan.

I encourage any Iowa senior nearing age 65 to contact the Iowa Insurance Division’s Senior Health Insurance Information Program (SHIIP) to schedule an appointment to discuss the transition to Medicare. SHIIP’s staff offers free, unbiased and confidential information to Iowans to help them make better-informed healthcare coverage choices. We are here to help answer Iowans’ questions about Medicare and it is the right call for Iowans to make. For more information please contact SHIIP by phone at 1-800-3514664, by email at shiip@iid.iowa.gov or by visiting www. therightcalliowa.gov.

IDPH releases suicide prevention plan

$325 Million invested in Iowa through state and federal programs Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey has highlighted more than $325 million in state and federal funds directed to programs with water quality benefits in Iowa last year. The Iowa Nutrient Reduction Strategy Annual Report that was provided to the Water Resources Coordinating Council (WRCC) this summer highlighted $105 invested by state and federal agencies in programs with water quality benefits. Additionally, $220 million was invested by USDA in Iowa through the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), which also has broad water quality and conservation benefits. “Significant investment in improving water quality continues to be made through state and federal programs, many of which require at least a farmer match. Work is being done to better quantify private investments in water quality made by individual farmers, nongovernmental organizations and others, but we know this additional investment to be in the tens of millions of dollars each year,” Northey said. “It is encouraging to see the broad support and growing investment in the Iowa strategy as well as the significant progress that has

that has been made as a result.” The Nutrient Reductions Strategy annual report can be found at www.nutrientstrategy.iastate.edu under “Strategy documents.” A wide variety of state and federal programs are identified in the report. They include: • $17.8 million through programs operated by the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship, including the Water Quality Initiative, Iowa Financial Incentives Program (IFIP), Ag Drainage Well Closure program, Watershed Protection fund, and others. • $16 million through programs operated by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources include EPA Section 319, Lakes Restoration and Water Quality Monitoring. • $34 million by the USDA Natural Resources Conservations Service through programs such as Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP), Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP), Conservation Technical Assistance and the Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP). • $35.7 million through the Iowa State Revolving Loan Fund (SRF), which is

a water, wastewater and water quality infrastructure low interest loan program jointly managed by the Iowa DNR and Iowa Finance Authority. The report was compiled by the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship, Iowa Department of Natural Resources and Iowa State University with input from the WRCC and Watershed Planning Advisory Council (WPAC). The annual report provides progress updates on point source and nonpoint source efforts related to the action items listed in the elements of the strategy and updates on implementation activities to achieve reductions in nitrogen and phosphorus loads. Iowans are invited to review the full report and updated Iowa Nutrient Reduction Strategy. The Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources and Iowa State University seek to continue to broaden the engagement of stakeholders and further advance the strategy.

The Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) has released the Iowa Plan for Suicide Prevention 2015-2018. The plan seeks to reduce the annual number of deaths by suicide in Iowa by 10% by the year 2018 – a reduction of 41 from the 406 three-year average from 2012-14 – with an ultimate goal of zero deaths by suicide. Preliminary data from IDPH show 392 Iowans died by suicide in 2014; in 2013, 445 Iowans died by suicide – the highest number in 25 years. The suicide prevention plan focuses on proven strategies and increased collaboration to reduce the number of deaths by suicide. “Individuals, community organizations, governmental organizations, and employers – all Iowans – need to work together to reduce suicide attempts and deaths,” said IDPH Suicide Prevention Coordinator Pat McGovern. “The goal is to increase awareness of suicide warning signs and prevention learning opportunities so there is better support and compassion for those affected by suicide including attempt survivors and loss survivors.” The plan centers on three key points: • Reducing stigma or “judgment” of those who talk about mental health and suicide, seek treatment, are attempt survivors, and are loss survivors; • Striving for an ultimate goal of zero suicides; and • Acknowledging all suicide prevention efforts must be culturally appropriate. If concerned about someone else, it is “your business” to get involved. Call the Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273TALK or go to www.suicidepreventionlifeline.org/. One may also contact Your Life Iowa at 855-581-8111 or go to www. yourlifeiowa.org. To see the Iowa Plan for Suicide Prevention 2015-2018, visit http://bit.ly/1OKz9mM.

Yard and Garden:

Staying clear of tree, shrub damage in winter Trees and shrubs should not be ignored during the cold season. Winter brings food scarcity, which makes the home landscape a target for rabbits. Rabbits can severely damage trees and shrubs unless homeowners are protective and take the right steps before winter even arrives. Iowa State University Extension and Outreach horticulturists offer tips on how to protect trees and shrubs from rabbits this winter. To have additional questions answered, contact ISU Hortline at 515-294-3108 or hortline@iastate.edu. How do I prevent rabbits from damaging trees and shrubs in the yard over winter? The most effective way to prevent rabbit damage to trees and shrubs in the home landscape is to place chicken wire fencing or hardware cloth around vulnerable plants. To adequately protect plants, the fencing material needs to be high enough that rabbits won’t be able to climb or reach over the fence after a heavy snow. In most cases, a fence that stands 24-36 inches tall should be sufficient. Small deciduous trees can also be protected by placing white plastic tree guards around their trunks. Since Iowa’s fall weather is unpredictable, it’s best to have the protective materials in place by early to mid-November. After a heavy snow, check protected plants to make sure rabbits aren’t able to reach or climb over the fencing. If necessary, remove some of the snow to keep rabbits from reaching the trees or shrubs. Damage may also be reduced by removing brush, junk piles and other places where rabbits live

and hide. Repellents are another option. Repellents discourage rabbit browsing because of their unpleasant taste or smell. Unfortunately, repellents aren’t always effective and may need to be reapplied after a heavy rain or snow. Which trees and shrubs are most vulnerable to rabbit browsing in winter? Small trees with smooth, thin bark are most vulnerable to rabbit damage. Apple, pear, cherry, plum, crabapple, honey locust and serviceberry are frequent targets of rabbits. Other frequently damaged plants include the winged euonymus or burning bush, flowering quince, dogwoods, viburnums, cotoneasters, roses and raspberries. Small evergreens, especially pines, are also vulnerable. However, nearly all small trees and shrubs are susceptible to damage when food sources are scarce and rabbit populations are high. When are trees and shrubs most vulnerable to rabbit browsing? In the home landscape, rabbits feed on herbaceous plants: annuals, perennials, vegetables and grasses during the growing season. Trees and shrubs become food sources in late fall and winter, December through March. Damage to trees and shrubs is most severe in winters with extended periods of snow cover.
