Volunteers are appreciated at Heartland Acres! Submitted by Heartland Acres Agribition Center

Volunteering is a great way to use skills, make new friends, stay active and make a positive difference. The list goes on for all the benefits of volunteering in communities. “It is especially true at Heartland Acres where volunteers will be the primary source of support for the coming summer season,” said Craig Johnson, Heartland Acres executive director. Over 900 hours of volunteer support helped the museum with activities in 2015. In many cases, volunteers gave 3-6 hours per week from April through September. During the 2016 summer season, which runs from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend, volunteers cover 15 weekends, as well as providing Monday to Friday support throughout the year. Volunteer times are available to meet individual schedules. Activities accomplished by volunteers included school tours, working the admission gate, answering phones, light housekeeping, grounds maintenance, display care and setup, animal care and many other activities. These activities keep volunteers engaged, active and involved. Volunteering is the main source of support for the museum, allowing Heartland Acres to run as cost effectively a possible. As a nonprofit operation, Heartland Acres operates on museum admissions, event rental, grants, donations and sponsorships. “We continue to look for ways to fund operations and keep operational costs low by working with local volunteers,” said Johnson. To volunteer, visit the museum during business hours, fill out an application and find a time that will work with schedules and become a “Heartland Hand” today. Heartland Acres is a 501(c)3, non-profit organization. For information call 319-332-0123.

American Heart Month Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and

women in the United States. Since February is American Heart Month, this is an ideal time to reﬂect on how well you are taking care of your body and your heart. High blood pressure and high cholesterol are two of the major risk factors for heart disease. Although some factors are out of your control, there are steps you can take to reduce your risk. You are never too old- or too young- to take care of your heart. There are several things you can do to prevent high blood pressure. Maintaining a healthy weight by incorporating good nutrition and physical activity habits is key. Being

overweight can signiﬁcantly raise your blood pressure. It is also important to avoid high levels of sodium, smoking, alcohol and stress. To prevent high cholesterol, eat a healthy diet that includes a variety of fruits of vegetables, and is low in cholesterol and saturated fats. Also, get plenty of physical activity. A minimum of 30 minutes most days of the week is recommended. See your doctor regularly, especially if you are at risk for these conditions or have already been diagnosed. Know your numbers and pay attention to your body. Start taking small steps every day to improve your heart health.

Now accepting scholarship applications for continuing education Submitted by Buchanan County Health Center

On Jan. 20, the Buchanan County Health Center (BCHC) Auxiliary Board of Directors donated $7,000 to go towards BCHC departmental needs.

After reviewing grant requests, the Auxiliary Board designated $7,000 to the following departments and their requests: Lexington Estate, funding towards a wheelchair accessible indoor/outdoor swing; Specialty Clinic, funding of a workstation on wheels for visiting specialists; and Employee Health, funding of an indoor sharps disposal kiosk.

49th CRP signup underway

The U.S. Department of Agriculture has announced the 49th general signup for the popular Conservation Reserve Program (CRP). More than 800 contracts encompassing nearly 22,000 acres of general CRP expire in Iowa this fall and this is the first opportunity for landowners to bid land back into the general CRP since June 2013. Landowners have until Feb. 26 to make an offer. “Whether the goal is to bring back pheasants, plant woodland for long-term profit or improving water quality, the general Conservation Reserve Program is great for landowners and farmers who want to protect environmentally sensitive land,” said Chuck Gipp, director of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. This sign-up is expected to be very competitive and Iowa landowners will have to make the best offers possible to be accepted, said Todd Bogenschutz Upland Game Biologist for the Iowa DNR. Bogenschutz suggested that landowners should visit with one of the DNR’s private lands staff to explore all potential options. To contact a DNR wildlife biologist or forester to receive technical help or learn more about options available with the CRP visit www.iowadnr.gov/crp. Or, visit the local USDA office. Pheasants Forever also have staff available to assist Iowa landowners with the CRP iowapf.net/Staff.aspx

This was a short week in Des Moines due to the winter storm. Many legislators were not able to get to the Capitol until Wednesday afternoon, resulting in the lack of a full quorum for business until then. Even with a quorum, many committees were still unable to meet, and there was no debate of bills on the House Floor. The Agriculture Committee did pass out the renewable fuels tax credit extension, and sent that bill to Ways and Means. Our Rural Caucus is in unanimous support of the bill, as it is critical in the support for one of our strongest rural industries. The bill was identical to previous bills, other than an increase in incentive for the production of E-11 ethanol blends, which will expand the market for our corn producers. I used most of my time this week to focus on garnishing support for several bills I am running for constituents in my district. The house will be very busy for the next few weeks as we approach the end of funnel week. I also had the pleasure of meeting with multiple organizations at various legislative receptions. It is my honor and a humbling experience to be the State Representative. I appreciate the messages and correspondence I receive from people in the district. You can contact me anytime at bruce.bearinger@legis.iowa.gov or call at 515-281-3221.

Last week, a bill was introduced in the Iowa Senate to stop Governor Branstad’s unilateral decision to privatize Iowa’s Medicaid program. I’m supporting this legislation – Senate Study Bill 3081 – because many of my constituents tell me that the Governor’s plan tries to do too much, too fast, and it fails to protect vulnerable Iowans. There is no excuse for putting the health and wellbeing of more than 560,000 Iowans at risk. Specifically, the legislation directs the Iowa Department of Human Services to immediately terminate contracts with three private out-of-state managed care companies. As an alternative, the legislation calls on Iowa to continue improving patient outcomes, increasing access to care and making the existing public management of Medicaid more efficient. This common sense legislation is necessary because Iowa still isn’t ready – even after a 60-day delay – to implement a privatized Medicaid system operated by for-profit, out-ofstate companies. Since the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced a delay in privatizing Iowa’s Medicaid system in mid-December, we have seen no evidence that state officials and private companies have taken the steps to ensure the health and wellbeing of Iowans receiving Medicaid services. The main concerns I’m hearing from constituents include: • Arbitrary and unrealistic implementation timeline; • Failure to establish adequate provider networks in advance; • Disruptions of longstanding patient-provider relationships; • Diminished quality and access to health care services; • Compromised patient care; and • Inadequate communication with patients and providers. You can review Senate Study Bill 3081 on the Iowa Legislature’s website at http://tinyurl.com/hsoh46l.

Livestock master matrix adopted in 88 counties Once again, 88 of 99 Iowa counties notified DNR that they plan to evaluate construction permit applications and proposed locations for animal confinements by using the master matrix. Animal producers in these counties must meet higher standards than other confinement producers who also need a construction permit. They must earn points on the master matrix by choosing a site and using practices that reduce impacts on air, water and the community. With 11 exceptions, all counties will use the matrix during the next 12 months. The following counties will not use the matrix in 2016: Decatur, Des Moines, Fremont, Keokuk, Lee, Mahaska, Osceola, Plymouth, Wapello, Warren and Washington. Counties that adopt the master matrix can provide more input to producers on site selection,

the proposed structures and proposed facility management. Participating counties score each master matrix submitted in their county and can also join in DNR visits to a proposed confinement site. While all counties may submit comments to DNR during the review process for permit applications, counties that adopt the master matrix can also appeal approval of a preliminary permit to the state Environmental Protection Commission. The deadline for enrolling in the program is Jan. 31 of each year. Producers and citizens can obtain more information and view a map of participating counties at www.iowadnr.gov/afo. Only producers who must get a construction permit for a confinement are affected by the master matrix. Generally, these include proposed construction, expansion or modification of confinement feeding operations with more than 2,500 finishing hogs, 1,000 beef cattle or 715 mature dairy cows. Confinements are totally roofed facilities.

Camp Courageous, a year-round camp for individuals with special needs, is selling raffle tickets for a chance to win a 1966 VW Cabriolet. The “mint” green car is the latest fundraiser for the camp, and can be best described as being in “mint” condition. The car is referred to as “Gracie,” a name given by her former owner. Raffle tickets are available for purchase at $25 each, two for $40 or three for $50 at camp or on camp’s website: www.campcourageous.org. After learning of Camp Courageous through the Power Wagon Community, “Gracie” was donated to camp by Michael Verst of Union KY in memory of his wife Karen. He purchased the car in 1999 and spent nine years restoring the “Bug Convertible” – even installing an automatic transmission after his

February is Heart Month

Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women in the United States and in Iowa. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 26.6 million Americans have heart disease and more than 600,000 Americans die from it each year. The encouraging news is that 80% of heart disease cases can be prevented with lifestyle changes. “All heart disease risk factors can be lowered with a healthy diet and regular physical activity,” said Terry Meek, Health Systems Coordinator for the Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) Bureau of Chronic Disease Prevention. Knowing your numbers is an important step towards preventing heart disease. For a heart healthy lifestyle, your numbers should be under the designated goals:

wife lost her leg to cancer. “Gracie” was officially presented to his wife on the 10th anniversary of her being declared cancer free. Karen and Michael enjoyed “Gracie” for five years, but, unfortunately, Karen lost her battle with cancer in 2013. Although difficult to part with “Gracie,” Michael describes his donation as this, “If I can help put a smile on someone’s face, it’ll be worth it.” Raffle tickets will be sold through Sunday, Sept. 25. The winning ticket will be drawn during the 2016 Pancake Breakfast. For information about the car, to have the car at an event, or to purchase tickets, call Charlie Becker at 319-465-5916 ext. 2100, or by e-mail at cbecker@campcourageous.org.

The Democrat caucuses resulted in Hillary Clinton at 49.9% and Bernie Sanders 49.6%, in a dead heat. Martin O’Malley garnered just .6%, and has suspended his campaign. In Buchanan County, the Republican results are Cruz 36.8% (308 votes), Trump 25.9% (217 votes), Rubio 13.1% (110 votes), Carson 9.8% (82 votes), Paul 4.2% (35 votes). Buchanan County Democrats results showed Clinton with 52.5% and Sanders with 47.5% support from caucus goers. Candidates and their followers left Des Moines during the night, both to beat the impending snow and ice storm and to begin a week of heavy campaigning leading up to the next contest, the New Hampshire primary, on Feb. 9.

Holly Cook of Winthrop was named the 2016 Iowa Pork Queen on Jan. 27 by the Iowa Pork Producers Association (IPPA) at the 44th annual Iowa Pork Congress. In addition, Keith Wilgenbusch, also of Winthrop, was named a 2015 Master Pork Producer, and Bill Steenstra, Independence, was named a Master Pork Partner.

Master Pork Producer Award The 2015 class of Master Pork Producers were formally introduced at the event. The select group of 10 hog farmers, or production company employees, were recognized by their peers for excellence in pork production.

He also sold an additional 20,000 weaned pigs to other area producers. He operates a 50-head cow-calf herd with his brother and also farms 80 acres of row crops. Story continues on page 5.
