Public Health Week: Striving to make the U.S. the “Healthiest Nation in One Generation” With the 12th week of session almost complete there are many important issues that are arising. I need the help of my constituents by reaching out and letting me know which issues are most important to them and how they would like to see the legislature take action. There were a few bills and some floor action this week and most bills that were debated were code corrections and non-contested legislation. However, one bill of importance was HF 579, which dealt with the regulation of healthcare facilities. This bills outlines standards and increases transparency of the process and results of investigations into abuse at health care facilities, elder homes, assisted living programs and adult day service programs. This week, along with Rep. Mike Sexton, we are working to improve a bill to study hub and spoke waste management systems in a bipartisan fashion. We are seeking to appropriate $100,000 for the University of Northern Iowa’s Waste Reduction Center to complete a feasibility study of the hub and spoke system. Rather than initiate an unproven system in Iowa we believe it is more important to examine the potential of the system before committing large sums of taxpayer dollars. As always the seat I reside in is not mine, it belongs to the people of my district of whom I serve. I hope I can have many conversations with constituents regarding this session and the priorities of House District 64. Please reach out to me with any concerns, questions, or ideas for this session of the Iowa Legislature. It is my honor and a humbling experience to be the state representative for our community. I appreciate the messages and correspondence I receive from people in the district. Contact me anytime at bruce.bearinger@legis.iowa.gov follow me on twitter @brucebearinger or call at 515-281-3221.
19.0% of the adult population. • Immunization coverage increased from 64% to 67.1% of adolescents aged 13 to 17 years. • Other successes include increasing life expectancy, reducing infant mortality and declining cardiovascular deaths – but other countries are succeeding faster. And yet, compared to peers in other countries, people in the U. S. have: • Shorter lives – Over the past 25 years U.S. life expectancy has grown, but at a slower rate than in other countries. Studies consistently show Americans have a lower life expectancy than comparable countries. • Adverse birth outcomes – The U.S. has the highest infant mortality rate, low birth weights, the highest rate of women dying due to complications of pregnancy and childbirth, and American children are less likely to live to age five. • Highest rates of injury and homicides – Deaths from motor vehicle crashes, non-transportation injuries and violence occur at much higher rates than in other countries. • Heart disease – the U.S. death rate from ischemic heart disease is the second highest; at age 50 Americans have a less favorable cardiovascular risk profile and adults over age 50 are more likely to develop and die from cardiovascular disease. • Obesity and diabetes – For decades the U.S. has had the highest obesity rates across all age groups and adults are among the highest prevalence of diabetes. • Chronic lung disease – Lung disease is more prevalent and associated with higher mortality. • Disability – Older U.S. adults report a higher prevalence of arthritis and activity limitations. • Adolescent pregnancy and sexually transmitted disease – U.S. adolescents had the highest rate of pregnancies and are more likely to acquire sexually transmitted diseases. • HIV and AIDS – The U.S. has the second highest prevalence of HIV infection among 17 peer countries and the highest incidence of AIDS. • Drug related mortality – Americans lose more years of life to alcohol and other drugs than people in peer countries even when deaths from drunk driving are excluded. In fact, the President’s 2014 National Drug Control Strategy noted that drug 2 col X 3 in. induced overdose deaths now surpass homicides and car crash deaths.
Right now, the U.S. spends more on health care than other comparable countries. What do Americans have to show for that spending? Numerous studies show that Americans live shorter lives and struggle with more health issues such as obesity, infant mortality, diabetes, heart disease and more. And this is true for Americans of all ages and socio-economic groups. This is the defining challenge of our generation. That is why, during National Public Health Week, April 6-12, the public health community is rallying around a goal of making the U.S. the Healthiest Nation in One Generation – by 2030. What does the data reveal about America’s health? The U.S. doesn’t have the top health care system – instead it has a great “sick care” system. Americans have great doctors, state-of-the-art hospitals and the country leads in advanced procedures and pharmaceuticals. But studies consistently show that despite spending twice as much, the U.S. trails other countries in life expectancy and almost all other measures of good health. This holds true across all ages and income levels. So what is missing? A stronger public health system that supports healthy communities and moves us toward preventing illness, disease and injury. There have been improvements. In 2013: • Smoking continued its decline from 19.6% to

Iowa crop and weather report Warm temperatures and mostly dry conditions over much of the State allowed farmers to continue anhydrous applications and tillageactivities during the week ending April 5, 2015, according to the USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service. However, reports of lingering frost in northern Iowa ďŹ elds were received. Anhydrous supply issues were reported in areas of Southwest Iowa. Statewide there were 4.2 days suitable for ďŹ eldwork. East central and southeastern Iowa were the only two districts in the State that averaged over 5 days suitable for ďŹ eldwork. Topsoil moisture levels rated 3 percent very short, 25 percent short, 70 percent adequate and 2 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture levels rated 3 percent very short, 24 percent short, 71 percent adequate and 2 percent surplus, signiďŹ cantly higher than 2014 percentage when twothirds of Iowa reported short to very short subsoil moisture. Seventeen percent of oats have been planted, 4 days ahead of last year, but 4 days behind the 5-year average. Pasture condition rated 4 percent very poor, 15 percent poor, 48 percent fair, 30 percent good, and 3 percent excellent. Livestock conditions were described as average, with the mostly dry weather aiding calving and lambing conditions in the State. PRELIMINARY WEATHER SUMMARY The past week brought mostly mild weather with temperatures well above normal from Monday (30th) through Thursday (2nd) and again on Sunday (5th). High temperatures on Monday (30th) and Tuesday
(31st) ranged from the upper 60s northeast to upper 70s southwest. Wednesday (1st) was the warmest day statewide with highs in the 80s. A cold front brought showers and thunderstorms to most of Iowa on Wednesday night into Thursday morning with a few reports of large hail in far southwest Iowa. Highs on Thursday (2nd) were in the 60s over most of the state but were only in the 40s on Friday (3rd) when light rain fell over parts of the southeast one-half of Iowa. Dry and sunny weather returned for the weekend with highs in the upper 50s northeast to upper 60s west on Saturday and about 5 to 8 degrees higher on Sunday. Temperature extremes for the week ranged from a high of 88 degrees at Little Sioux on Wednesday afternoon to lows of 19 degrees at Elkader and Belle Plaine on Saturday (4th) morning. Temperatures for the week as a whole averaged from about ďŹ ve degrees above normal over the southeast corner of the state to ten degrees above normal over the northwest corner of Iowa. Precipitation totals varied from only a few sprinkles over Dubuque and Clinton counties in the east, and parts of Lyon and Sioux counties in the far northwest to 1.32 inches at Underwood in Pottawattamie County. The statewide average precipitation was 0.44 inches while normal for the week is 0.64 inches. The very mild weather early in the week thawed the last of the winter’s frozen soils across northern Iowa. Soil temperatures at the four inch depth were averaging mostly in the mid to upper 40s across the state as of Sunday (5th).

Bipartisan senate supports safe schools for students
Every Iowa student deserves a safe learning environment. A recent poll showed that Iowans strongly support anti-bullying measures, with 73% of Iowans in favor. To improve the learning environment for all Iowa students, the Senate has approved Senate File 345, a bill to prevent bullying in our schools. It passed with bipartisan support, 43-7. Ongoing harassment and bullying can devastate children, endanger their mental and physical health, and leave scars that last into adulthood. To reduce bullying, we must change social norms. It must become “uncool” to bully, “cool” to help students who are bullied, and normal for staff and students to notice when a child is bullied or left out. In 2007, the Iowa Legislature approved legislation to require school districts to adopt safe school policies to guard against harassment and bullying. Unfortunately, there is still too much of it going on. The 2014 Iowa Youth Survey polled more than 77,000 students, with 39% reporting they were bullied at school at least once in the last 30 days by other students calling them names, making fun of them or teasing in a hurtful way. This is down slightly from 2012, when 41% reported being bullied. The percentage of students who said they’d made a suicide plan within the past 12 months went from 7% in 2012 to 8% in 2014.

Pathways emphasizes importance of Iowa “Social Host” law We must do more to create safe schools, including teacher training, parent involvement and enforcing anti-bullying policies. The passage of Senate File 345 will give schools the tools they need by: •Broadening the definition of cyber-bullying. •Authorizing schools to address off-campus conduct. •Promoting more parental involvement. •Establishing a work group to make sure Iowa has the best available research and input to create safe learning environments. •Requiring school districts to have adequate training to investigate harassment and bullying. •Establishing a pilot program to explore how student leadership can help prevent bullying and violence and promote best practices for middle and high school students. We need safe schools so that all students, regardless of their background, can achieve their full potential. I’m hopeful that SF 345 will receive support in the Iowa House.
OUR GREATEST ASSET IS OUR EMPLOYEES...
The Iowa “social host” law, enacted July 1, 2014, is defined as a person who is the owner, is leasing, or has control over the property that is not a licensed premise, and knowingly allows underage persons to illegally consume or possess alcohol on the host’s property. The law does not apply to landlords, property managers, or individuals who consume or possess alcohol in connection with a religious observance, ceremony or right. According to the state law, a first offense is a simple misdemeanor and can result in a $200 fine, while a second or subsequent offense, while also a misdemeanor, can result in a $500 fine. However, there is no preemption in the law, meaning a county or city can enforce stricter laws. In addition to prohibiting the purchase, attempt to purchase, and possession of alcohol by an individual under the age of 21, state law now prohibits alcohol consumption by individuals under the age of 21. Exceptions apply for individuals who consume alcohol in the presence of a parent in a private home, as well as use for medicinal purposes. Vicki Mueller, prevention department supervisor at Pathways Behavioral Services, is requiring the Pathways prevention team to provide presentations and informational brochures to community members in Black Hawk, Bremer, Butler, Buchanan, Chickasaw and Grundy counties about the social host law. Jacob Dornbush is one member of the team working on this initiative. “Iowa’s Social Host Law was enacted to address underage drinking, and deter legal aged adults from providing alcohol to persons under the age of 21,” he stated. “Research has proven that teenagers who begin drinking are more likely to develop alcohol dependence as an adult.” By educating the community on the Social Host Law, Pathways hopes to increase awareness about the problem of underage drinking. The Social Host Law is supported by many parents and guardians, who tend to have children also involved in supportive efforts. Students Against Destructive Decisions, a student advocacy group from New Hampton High School support the pro-social law. SADD President Emily Schwickerath said, “We aren’t trying to be fun haters like some think; we are just trying to make our community stronger and healthier for everyone.” SADD places lawn signs stating, “Parents who host lose the most” throughout the community to increase awareness. For information regarding Iowa Social Host Law, or to have a Pathways representative speak to a group, call 319-235-6571.

Pork board embraces steps to curb antibiotic resistance Submitted by the National Pork Board
The National Pork Board applauds the White House action plan for combatting antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The Pork Checkoff, which is funded directly by America’s 62,000 pig farmers, could expand its existing research to address this growing consumer issue if the additional commitment of $1.2 billion is realized. “Collaboration across our industry – from the farms to the dinner table – is critical,” said Chris Hodges of the National Pork Board. “American pig farmers welcome this new federal initiative and are committed to continuous improvement to ensure responsible antibiotic use on the farm. “Our industry pledges to go above and beyond simply complying with federal guidance,” Hodges added. “The Pork Checkoff has deployed millions of producer dollars to fund antimicrobial research for well over a decade and, as noted in the White House statement, is one of the leading agricultural organizations to lead research efforts. Any additional dollars earmarked for research could serve to address the risk posed to

animal and human health by antibiotic resistant bacteria.” The U.S. pork industry has previously funded studies conducted in support of the National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System (NARMS) – a collaborative effort focused on improving animal and public health. Previous NARMS research has studied the epidemiology of antimicrobial resistance. Minimizing resistance is a long-standing priority of the Checkoff’s producer, public health and workplace safety programs. Additionally, the Pork Quality Assurance® Plus (PQA Plus®) program conducts on-farm assessments and provides guidance on best practices. PQA Plus participation includes mandatory veterinary oversight and compliance with U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requirements to maintain current medical records on the farm. The National Pork Board also shares its information and research with U.S. retailers and foodservice companies. Through this collaboration, the Checkoff underscores the safeguards already in place for antibiotic use in pork production and helps

prepare these companies to provide information to inquiring consumers. “We are working with our suppliers and regulatory agencies to assure antibiotics that are needed for animal health remain in place and are used under veterinary oversight,” said Joe Swedberg, vice president of legislative affairs at Hormel Foods. Responsible antibiotic use – as demonstrated by a farmer working with a swine veterinarian – combined with proper diet and nutrition, access to fresh water, vaccinations, barn sanitation and biosecurity, all serve to protect pig health and promote food safety. “We have always been focused on improving pork’s safety, quality and nutritional value,” Hodges said. “Keeping pigs healthy is an important facet of our work and an area where both consumers and pork producers can agree.”

Iowa turkey ďŹ&#x201A;ock had an excellent hatch in 2014 leading to the possibility that hunters should see increased opportunities to harvest a bird during the 2015 spring turkey season. The younger birds, called Jakes, are often more vulnerable, responding to calls in groups and competing among themselves to see which one can get to the call ďŹ rst. The older Toms are can be more cautious and reluctant to respond to the sirens temptations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still seeing good groups of turkeys in winter ďŹ&#x201A;ocks, but they will be breaking up soon as we head into the breeding season,â&#x20AC;? said Jim Coffey, forest wildlife species technician for the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. Iowa has turkeys in every county with higher numbers found in areas where there is a more diversiďŹ ed mixture of timber with agriculture. Coffey, who participates in spring turkey hunting seminars geared toward ďŹ rst time and novice hunters, said conďŹ dence is key and that conďŹ dence comes from talking to other turkey hunters, spending time in the woods and learning from mistakes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The number one piece of advice I can give is to pattern your gun before going out. This is the sport of one shot â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you need to know what that shot will be when you pull the trigger,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get hung up on calling â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but understand when to call. A common mistake is calling too much. You want to tease the bird. Once you call, stay put, because he knows where you are.â&#x20AC;? Hunters can help increase their chance of harvesting a bird by sharpening woodsmanship skills; learn when to move and when to stay still, and about the biology and habits of the bird. Coffey said turkeys have excellent vision so hunters who use the timber to blend in to the background may see more birds. He also said scouting is important. Understanding what the bird wants to do biologically is important to us as hunters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Watch the turkeys, understand the turkeys and realize we are playing on his home court. Position yourself between where they are, and where they want to go is a key to success,â&#x20AC;? he said. At the end of the day, only about one-third of spring turkey hunters actually bag a turkey but most donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use that as a measuring stick for success. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The experience in the woods with your kids or with friends; watching the timber come alive with wildlife and the newness of spring thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about,â&#x20AC;? Coffey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really something pretty special and I would hope that our turkey hunters share it by taking their neighbor or child or spouse along this year.â&#x20AC;?

Traits of high well-being communities
By Christine Dale, Assistant Editor
Gallup recently released Well-Being Index score of 100 U.S. most populous metro communities. The North PortSarasota-Bradenton FL area ranked highest with a score of 64.1, followed by the urban Honolulu HI area at 63.8. Only one Iowa community was considered, with the Des Moines-West Des Moines area ranked 51 overall. Ohio has five communities in the lowest 10. Residents in high-ranking communities tend to exercise more often and report someone close to them encourages them to make healthy choices. They are less likely to be obese, have fewer chronic health conditions and feel safe where they live. Those living in high well-being communities are more likely to have access to food and healthcare and also manage their money effectively while living within their means. People living in the best-ranked communities also report being able to use their strengths on any given day and are more likely to learn new and interesting things.

Legislation targets grade K-3 reading proficiency
Part 1 of a series – Trouble reading
Assuming there was a tunnel through the center of the Earth, how long would it take to fall from one side to the other? If there were no air resistance, it would take approximately 38 minutes and 11 seconds according to a recent study. A body in the tunnel would fall at a rate of nearly 18,000 miles per hour and when they got to the other end, they would have to grab on to the surface or gravity would suck them back inside. Will there be such a tunnel in the future? Probably not; however, from 1970 to 1989 the Soviets tried to dig a such a hole and only were able to get about 7.5 miles deep.
“The faculty I work with who are teaching writing or literature will frequently say they have students who have never read a whole book. … This occurs much more frequently than you would ever expect,” said Allison York, dean of the English department at Kirkwood Community College. At the beginning of each semester when Kirkwood teachers assess students’ reading backgrounds, faculty ask what they read, whether they are avid readers, do they read newspapers, or read only when necessary. York said there are students who simply say they do not read, except for emails or texts. Beginning with this year’s first grade students, the Iowa legislature is trying to prevent the above scenario by retaining third grade students who do not meet minimum proficiency standards unless they at-
tend an intensive summer reading program between third and fourth grade. Students may receive an exemption for “good cause” or be promoted to fourth grade despite reading deficits after the summer reading program; however, schools are required to provide ongoing intensive reading instruction until the student demonstrates proficiency. Passed in August 2014, the law requires K-3 students to be screened for reading deficiencies three times per year. Students who are substantially deficient are to receive intensive reading instruction, and students identified as “at risk” are monitored. Story continues on page 5.

Winthrop City Council met in regular session April 1, with Mayor Gerald Dennie presiding and council members Melissa Hesner, Mark Kress, Ann Myers, Leland Sprague and Lee White present. Also in attendance were government class students, Dwayne Manning, Sheriff’s Deputy Matt Cook, library board member Katie Williams, Larry Bird, Harold Schneider, Drew Trott, PWD Shawn Curtis and City Clerk Mary Ryan. Council approved the agenda, prior minutes, bills, law enforcement and library reports, and set May 2 as Winthrop citywide clean-up day. Residents can find more information on the clean-up day at the library and city hall. A public hearing opened on Ordinance #171, Restricted Residence District/ Accessory Building Height. Dennie recapped the need for clarification and change on accessory building height to a maximum of 20 feet, measured from the final grade to the highest point on the roof. The hearing closed, first reading approved, and second and third readings waived. The ordinance was approved

ban. Area fire departments have been extremely busy responding to fire calls of controlled burns that became out of control due to dry conditions and strong winds. After discussion, it was approved to request the State Fire Marshal’s office approve a burn ban, effective immediately, for Buchanan County. Gissel gave an update regarding the county pasture fence. Approximately 2000 feet of fence needs to be replaced and repaired. The county is waiting for bids for the project. Areas to be replaced will have the fence line completely cleared of brush and trees before being replaced. No action will be taken until bids are received. Story continues on page 19.

and will be in effect after publication. A second public hearing opened on Restricted Residence Special Permit and Agreement between Dwayne and Tracy Manning and the City of Winthrop. The city attorney has approved the agreement. Larry Bird addressed concerns on the depth of the sewer line installed on Second Street. Drew Trott voiced concern over adequate sewer size to handle an additional residence. It was noted that past council minutes reviewed depth, size and payment of installation of sewer on Second Street. It was also noted that the proposed construction will not include a basement. The hearing closed and council approved Resolution 15-06, Restricted Residence Agreement between Mannings and City for construction of an accessory building. The south lot may not be sold, transferred or conveyed separately from the north lot unless a residence is located wholly upon the south lot. Council reviewed the seven standards required for a special permit, which they then approved.
