May is Asthma Awareness Month

Asthma is a serious, sometimes life-threatening respiratory disease that affects the quality of life for millions of Americans.

Although there is no cure for asthma yet, asthma can be controlled through medical treatment and management of environmental triggers.

May is Asthma Awareness Month. This is part of EPA’s ongoing effort to increase public awareness of the asthma epidemic and partner with thousands of organizations taking action to get asthma under control in communities across the nation. EPA promotes scientific understanding of environmental asthma triggers and management through research, education and communityfocused outreach. During Asthma Awareness Month, EPA encourages state and local asthma programs to hold community-based events to increase awareness of asthma triggers and the successful strategies for addressing asthma disparities.

Asthma affects 20 million Americans, (6.3 million children). Since 1980, the biggest growth in asthma cases has been in children under five. Some of the most common indoor asthma triggers include secondhand smoke, dust mites, mold, cockroaches and other pests, household pets, and combustion byproducts.

Walking: The old way to get fit is new again Walking is a great way to get in shape.

In fact, if you walk often enough and fast enough, the simple act of putting one foot in front of the other can satisfy your body's daily requirement for aerobic activity.

Walking is making a resurgence in the health, fitness and medical worlds as a low-cost solution to the nation's ongoing health care crisis. Medical experts are advocates of walking as a crucial method of preventative care.

A consistent brisk walking routine can boost immune system, help manage weight, improve mood and help ease depression, as well as improve cholesterol levels, lower blood pressure and prevent osteoporosis; the additional benefits are endless.

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that between 2005 and 2010, the number of adults who walked for 10 minutes or more at least once a week rose from 56 to 62 percent - an increase of 20 million people.

Here is why walking for exercise is so ideal: * Walking is what your body is designed to do. *Among all forms of aerobic exercise, walking carries the least risk of injury. * You can walk almost anywhere, any time. * Nearly everyone can walk, and it is something you can do throughout your life.

Play safe in the sun

Did you know that skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States? Most skin cancers are caused by unprotected exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. The negative effects of UV rays build up over a person’s lifetime, including exposure while driving or sitting by a window in school. Even on overcast or cloudy days when the sun does not appear to be out, UV rays are present.

Luckily, most forms of skin cancer can be prevented.

While we cannot completely avoid exposure to the sun, we can take precautionary measures to avoid excess UV ray exposure and lower our risk for developing skin cancer.

DO: Wear broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher.

Wear protective clothing, like wide-brimmed hats, UV-

Safety tips to prevent summer fun from becoming a summer scare

* It's free. * There is no special skill, training, or equipment needed - all you need is the right footwear.

As a general rule, taking 10,000 steps a day is a great goal for improving your overall physical, emotional and mental fitness.

The journey, as they say, begins with a single step. There is no better time than now to begin.

blocking sunglasses, and long sleeved shirts or pants (when you can).

Avoid direct sunlight between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV rays are most intense.

Reapply sunscreen every two hours, or after swimming or sweating.

Use an umbrella or parasol while relaxing outdoors.

DON’T: Use tanning beds or sun lamps.

Ignore sunscreen on cloudy days outdoors.

Forget sun safety year-round. UV rays are not only dangerous during the summertime.

For more information about playing safe in the sun, please visit cancer.org or call 1-800-227-2345.

You’ll sleep better when you come see what’s NEW at Cy and Charley’s!

As the days get longer and warmer, kids and adults alike have plenty of reasons to get outdoors. With all the playtime comes extra dangers everyone needs to be on the lookout for. No family wants to have summer fun turn into a summer scare.

Drowning is the number 1 cause of injury-related death for kids ages 1 to 4; according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, but water is not the only potential hazard to be aware of this summer. Brush up on these tips to keep your family safe this season.

Set rules for wheels.

Properly fitted helmets are necessary whenever bikes, boards, scooters, skates or ATVs are involved. Teach kids to ride or roll in a single-file line and always walk their bikes or boards across the street at crosswalks. Children under 10 should stick to sidewalks and paths, and remember reflectors are essential for anyone rolling after dark.

Leave the pyrotechnics to the pros.

There is no such thing as a safe firework. Even sparklers burn at temperatures above 1,000 degrees and cause a surprising number of injuries each year. Instead, pull out the glow sticks to avoid burning little fingers and hands.

Mind the heat.

Have fun indoors between 10 AM and 4 PM. If that is not an option, experts at Arkansas Children's Hospital recommend wearing light colored and lightweight clothing, taking shaded breaks every 20 to 30 minutes and drinking water or sports drinks every 15 minutes when active. Never leave a child unattended in a warm car. Even not-so-hot days can pose a risk, as inside temperatures rise quickly, becoming life threatening in 10 minutes or less.

Beware of bugs.

Scented soaps, perfumes, hair sprays and standing pools of water are magnets for the creepy crawlies. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends insect repellents containing 10 to 30 percent DEET for children over 2 months old. Say no to combination sunscreen/insect repellent since sunscreen needs to be reapplied every two hours and repellent does not.

Save your skin and your sight.

Both sunny and cloudy skies call for sunscreen with SPF 15 or higher applied 15 to 30 minutes before going outside. Add tightweaved clothing, brimmed hats and swimwear with built-in UVA protection to adequately prepare your family for sun exposure. Do not forget the sunglasses - those eyes need cover, too.

Be water wise.

A child can drown in one inch of water. Never leave kids alone near filled-buckets, bathtubs, toilets, wading or swimming pools, or any body of water. Moms and dads should learn CPR and stay within an arm's length of young swimmers. Kids should wear a fitted, U.S. Coast Guard-approved personal flotation device on all boats, at all times.

Arthritis Awareness Millions of Americans suffer from arthritis, which is a condition causing inflammation of a joint where two bones meet.

In fact, according to the American College of Sports Medicine, 50 million Americans have some type of arthritis! The two most common types are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

Exercise is important for everyone. It can increase lean muscle tissue and decrease fat mass. It can improve range of motion and also enhance cardiovascular endurance. Aside from the standard benefits, exercise is also great for those struggling with arthritis. A moderate, well-balanced program can relieve the symptoms of the condition and also protect the joints from

further damage.

An appropriate exercise program for individuals with arthritis should be similar to that of a healthy individual and include flexibility exercises, strength training, body awareness exercises, and cardiovascular activity. However, the amount and form of exercise will depend on which joints are involved, how stable the joints are, whether or not the joint is swollen, and whether a joint replacement has already been done. A doctor or physical therapist can help determine which exercises would be best.

Flexibility involves stretching muscles and tissues, and moving the joints through their maximal range of motion. This can be performed on a daily basis. Strength training should be

performed 2-3 days per week on nonconsecutive days. Body awareness exercises, such as yoga or tai chi, improve posture, balance, and coordination. Lastly, 30 minutes of aerobic activity should be included daily or as tolerated by the affected joint.

May is Arthritis Awareness Month! If you are one who suffers from this condition, use this month to kick start your physical activity. Try walking to ease joint pain.

Blue light from electronic devices raising concerns for eye health

We use our eyes much differently than any generation before us, and dramatic shifts in digital tool usage and media consumption are exposing eyes to blue light from electronic devices, which could adversely affect your vision in the future.

Studies show people are significantly increasing time spent in front of computers, smartphones, and other blue light-emitting devices. The average American spends about two hours and 19 minutes online plus another two hours and 20 minutes conducting non-voice activities on tablets as well as mobile phones every day. Additionally, the average American spends about 40 hours per week watching television.

What does this mean for our eyes? Blue light, which radiates from digital sources like computers, smartphones, and televisions, can have an adverse effect on visual cells. In fact, researchers are learning blue light, found in sunlight and some indoor lighting, plays a role in the incidence and severity of age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Mother Nature arms us with macular pigments, zeaxanthin (zee-uh-zan-thin) and lutein that act like "internal sunglasses." These pigments protect and enhance vision, and are found in the center of the macula in the back of your eye. Internal sunglasses protect the cones and rods that are responsible for central and peripheral vision, respectively and can enhance vision as well.

As we age, macular pigment becomes thinner, and harmful blue light can reach and damage the photoreceptors (rods and cones). The damage can lead to visual performance challenges and contribute to other eye issues like fatigue, strain, sleeplessness, and even more serious conditions like AMD. Thick, or dense macular pigment can improve visual acuity for activities like reading in dim light or needlepoint; reduce sensitivity to bright light like sunlight or stadium lights; improve recovery time from glare like oncoming headlights; and enhance contrast sensitivity such as seeing an object clearly against its background.

Increasing macular pigment density can be achieved by replenishing the macular pigments zeaxanthin and lutein. According to the American Optometric Association, (AOA) of the 600 carotenoids found in nature, zeaxanthin and lutein are the only two that are deposited naturally in the macula.

Since the human body does not produce the zeaxanthin and lutein it needs, good nutrition is essential. Lutein is plentiful in leafy-green vegetables like spinach, kale, and broccoli. Zeaxan-

thin, on the other hand, is found in foods like corn, eggs, and peppers, but only in trace amounts.

For most Americans, a significant zeaxanthin dietary gap exists, resulting in less protection and potentially decreased visual performance.

The quantity of these pigments in the macular region of the retina can be measured with a macular pigment optical density (MPOD) exam. MPOD exams are quick, non-invasive, and available through leading optometrists.

For those who cannot consume enough zeaxanthin and lutein through the diet, eye vitamins offer macular health formulas designed to increase MPOD and build internal sunglasses that provide vision protection and enhancement.

Check with you ophthalmologist or optometrist for suggestions on supplements or lifestyle changes to maximize your eye health.

Understanding the dangers of low blood sugar

The numbers are astounding - nearly 400 million people worldwide suffer from diabetes and many may not realize they are at risk for hypoglycemia, dangerously low blood sugar levels that could cause serious side effects including hospitalization.

Our body has a natural response that is triggered when blood sugar levels drop below a normal level. However, in some people with diabetes, this response is impaired. Certain medications used to treat diabetes, such as insulin, can also prevent glucose levels from easily returning to the normal range.

There are certain people at increased risk for hypoglycemia - including those with chronic diabetes and type 1-diabetes patients.

People with type 1 diabetes may not show early warning signs of low blood glucose, called hypoglycemia unawareness. This means an individual no longer experiences early warning symptoms such as shakiness, sweating, anxiety and hunger; raising their risk of lapsing into severe hypoglycemia.

It is important for all diabetes patients to remember that hypoglycemia is usually mild and can be treated quickly and easily by consuming a small amount of a glucose-rich food or drink. Unfortunately, the condition can rapidly worsen causing confusion, clumsiness or fainting; in fact, severe hypoglycemia can lead to seizures, coma and even death.

Timing is everything: As with all medications, always take diabetes medications in recommended dosage and at recommended times. Some diabetes medications can cause hypoglycemia. If you have questions, talk to your physician or specialist pharmacist who can help explain how and when to take these medications.

Watch what you eat: Following a meal plan is important for managing diabetes. Have enough food during each meal; avoid skipping meals and try healthy snacking (if recommended). If you are struggling with your food intake, work with a registered dietician who can help design a meal plan that fits your personal preferences and lifestyle.

Exercise responsibly: Check your blood glucose before sports, exercise, or other physical activity and adjust medication if necessary. Plus, have a snack handy if your levels fall below 100 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL). Also, check blood glucose at regular intervals during extended periods

The News & The Guide

of physical activity and periodically after physical activity and adjust medications if necessary.

Limit alcohol: Drinking alcoholic beverages, especially on an empty stomach, can cause hypoglycemia. Heavy drinking can be particularly dangerous for people taking insulin or medications that increase insulin production. Only consume alcohol with a snack or meal.

Health News...

As we age, our metabolism slows five percent per decade, contributing to yearly weight gain, even if you make no changes in diet and exercise. To rev up metabolism, try adding red pepper to food, drink up to four cups of green tea a day, add lemon peel and juice to water, get at least seven hours of sleep, exercise every day and include core-strengthening exercise. Also try cutting 100 calories per day, but never go below 1200 total calories per day which can slow metabolism up to 30%.

Drinking more than one cola (diet or regular) per day can have a negative impact on your bones. The phosphate levels in dark colored sodas are the culprit. Choose club soda, seltzer, or clear sparking water instead.

The summer sun is almost upon us – and so is “Don’t Fry Day,� designated as the Friday before Memorial Day (Friday, May 23, this year). Protect your skin by wearing clothing that limits the amount of skin exposed, cover your head with a hat, and wear sunglasses to protect your eyes and the skin around them, and use plenty of broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher).

Do not forget your helmet!

Bike helmets are essential for preventing head injuries during an accident or fall. There are many brands available. When shopping, look for a quality helmet with the safety seal of the CPSC or ANSI. Try on every helmet of interest and make sure it fits comfortably. The helmet should be snug, allowing for very little movement all around. It should rest flat on your head and cover the top of your forehead. The straps should help keep the helmet in place and form a V shape under your ears. If the helmet tilts in any way, you may need a smaller size.

For visibility, white or bright-colored helmets are best. Some brands also come with headlights for optimum visibility. Just make sure whatever helmet you select does not impede your vision.

A quality helmet is necessary for bike riding, but it will do you little good if you do not wear it. Set an example for your kids and strap it on for every excursion, even if you are just going for a short ride around the block. Check that the straps are below your chin, not to the side. Teach your kids how to wear their helmets, insist they use them and encourage them not to play with their helmets on. The straps can pose a choking hazard on the playground.

Treat your bike helmet with care. Clean it regularly and put it away when not in use. Check the condition of it routinely and replace it as needed, in particular after a bike accident. Just because you do not detect any damage to your helmet does not mean there is not any. Replace it before your next ride.

You may have never had a bike accident, but does not mean you will not. Just one little slip on a patch of wet pavement or a rocky path can lead to a crash, which can result in a head injury if you are not wearing a helmet. Buy a bike helmet, use it properly, and it could just save your life!

Six important facts about DEET insect repellents Tips and tricks to help make living gluten-free easier

Once considered rare, now one in every 100 people has been diagnosed with celiac disease and an estimated 2.5 million Americans are undiagnosed. With this increased prevalence, awareness about the effects of celiac disease and gluten intolerance has grown tremendously, and the gluten-free diet has been catapulted into the limelight. May is Celiac Disease Awareness Month, established to put a spotlight on celiac disease, what causes it and how to manage a gluten-free way of eating.

What is Celiac Disease?

Celiac disease is an autoimmune digestive disease that damages the villi of the small intestine and interferes with absorption of nutrients from food. Essentially the body is attacking itself every time a person with celiac consumes gluten.

Celiac disease is triggered by consumption of the protein called gluten, which is found in wheat, barley and rye. When people with celiac disease eat foods containing gluten, their immune system responds by damaging the finger-like villi of the small intestine. When the villi become damaged, the body is unable to absorb nutrients into the bloodstream, which can lead to malnourishment.

Left untreated, people with celiac disease can develop further complications such as other autoimmune diseases, osteoporosis, thyroid disease, and cancer.

Quitting tobacco is one of the most important things a person can do to stay well and create a world with less cancer and more birthdays. American Cancer Society helps people quit through the Quit For Life速 Program, a telephone-based coaching and web-based learning support service.

To learn more, call American Cancer Society at 1-800-227-2345 or visit cancer.org Adults need 25 grams of fiber a day to control cholesterol, heart disease, blood sugar, and weight. Get more fiber with fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and nuts.

When it comes to fending off the insects that cause Lyme disease, West Nile virus, and more, citronella candles just do not cut it. What does: products with DEET (or picaridin, an ingredient similar to DEET). All-natural repellents do not work as well, says Michael Smith, M.D., a pediatric dermatologist at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, in Nashville. Here's how to use DEET safely: -Do not use it on newborns. If your child is younger than 2 months, avoid buggy situations altogether or use a mosquito net over his stroller.

-Use a product with a DEET concentration of 30 percent and apply it just once a day.

-Spray the product into your hands and then rub it on your child, rather than spraying it directly on him.

-Apply it to exposed skin only, avoiding your child's eyes, mouth, hands (since kids often put their hands in their mouths), and any cuts.

-Avoid repellent-sunscreen combo products, as sunscreen should be reapplied often.

-Wash the treated skin with soap and water after returning indoors for the day.

Nine ways to eat better now

About one-third of Americans are considered obese.

No state in the U.S. has an obesity level less than 20 percent. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states that 36 states had a prevalence of 25 percent or more; 12 of states had a prevalence of 30 percent or more.

Although it is widely known that eating a healthy diet and exercising frequently are the key ways to maintain a healthy weight, it's easy to fall into bad habits. Balance and portion control are great ways to enjoy food without gaining weight. Here are some tips to live by.

1. Use a smaller plate to trick the eye and brain into thinking you are eating more. A large plate seems empty with smaller portions, prompting many men and women to eat more than is necessary.

2. Fill up on vegetables and make meat and other higher-calorie foods the afterthought, instead of vice-versa. In fact, two-thirds of your dish should be consumed by vegetables, with the remaining portion for a protein or starch.

3. Avoid family style meals. Do not place large serving dishes of food directly on the table. It encourages going in for seconds when you really may not be hungry. It takes the brain at least 20 minutes to register feeling full. Serve yourself from the stove and wait to see if you're still hungry before going back for more.

4. Switch to low-fat dairy products. Dairy products are an important component of healthy living. However, whole-milk varieties tend to be heavy on calories and saturated fat.

Opt for low-fat milk whenever possible.

5. Rely on seafood protein. Eating fish once or twice a week is an excellent way to cut calories and enjoy a food that is rich in essential fatty acids.

6. Experiment with herbs, not salt. A lot of sodium in a diet may not be good for blood pressure and it can lead to water retention. In-

stead, reach for herbs to add flavor to foods.

Keep a fresh selection of parsley, chives, cilantro, basil, and other herbs at the ready and chances are you won't even miss the salt.

7. Go sparingly on dressings and sauces.

You can quickly turn a healthy salad into an unhealthy meal if you drizzle on too much creamy salad dressing. Studies show that some fast food salads have more fat than other fast food fare, including hamburgers. Opt for the dressing on the side, or select among fat-free alternatives. Use only about 1 to 2 teaspoons for flavor.

8. Indulge once in a while. Depriving yourself of everything that is tasty can lead to binge eating or overeating. Just remember to keep the portions of sweets or fattening foods modest and try not to over-do it the rest of the day.

9. Don't forget the exercise. The American College of Sports Medicine offers benefits of exercise beyond simply helping you to lose weight: * Lowers risk of heart disease by 40 percent. * Lowers risk of breast cancer by 20 percent. * Lowers risk of depression by 30 percent. * Lowers risk of hypertension by 40 percent. * Lowers risk of type 2 diabetes by 58 percent

Manchester – Regional Medical Center’s first capital campaign in over 20 years began in fall 2013 and will continue through 2014. The $1.5 million campaign is called Together We Can. So far, $1.1 million has been pledged in support of facility expansion. To learn more, contact Kelly Walton, Donor Relations at 563-927-7780 or kelly.walton@regmedctr.org

Heartburn-busting tips to keep summer feasting fun

Iowa children need to see dentist on regular basis

Only eight percent of Iowa children see their family dentist by age one. Tooth decay is nearly 100 percent preventable. However, to help prevent cavities, it is important to begin good oral health habits, like visiting the dentist, when children are very young.

By visiting the dentist by age one, the child and parent establish a relationship with a dentist, setting the foundation for good dental health habits. Through the “Dentist by 1� public service campaign, the Delta Dental of Iowa Foundation hopes to educate Iowa parents about the benefits of taking their children to the dentist by age one.

Preparing your child for the first dental visit • Play dentist. Take turns pretending to be the patient and the dentist with your child. If he or she has a favorite stuffed animal or doll, pretend to take it to the dentist. Let your child take the toy along to the appointment for extra security. • Visit the dentist before the appointment. Stop by your child’s dentist’s office and let him or her meet the dental staff and check out the waiting room. This way, it will feel a little more familiar when it is appointment time. • Talk about teeth. Share as much as you can about healthy teeth, so your child understands the importance of good oral health. Explain words they hear at the dentist’s office, including cavities, fluoride, gums and X-ray.

Did you know over 68 million Americans experience heartburn two or more days a week?

Heartburn occurs when your stomach acid enters into the lower part of your esophagus, causing a burning sensation. Heartburn that occurs two or more days per week is considered frequent heartburn, and many sufferers turn to over-the-counter medication to relieve their symptoms.

Despite its prevalence, many myths persist around heartburn, here are the truth behind some of these myths: Myth 1 - Frequent Heartburn and GERD (Gastroesophageal acid reflux) are the same thing.

Truth - While symptoms may be similar, GERD is a more serious, chronic condition, and can only be diagnosed by a doctor. Severe heartburn symptoms that occur for extended periods, recur often over time (more than three times per year) or are not relieved by available over-thecounter medications should be evaluated by a physician.

Myth 2 - The only way to stop heartburn is to give up the foods you love.

Truth - It is true that some dietary and lifestyle changes may help reduce the frequency of your heartburn. Some over the counter medicines can effectively treat frequent heartburn so you can eat the foods you enjoy.

In addition to medication, the following lifestyle steps may also help prevent frequent heartburn: * Reduce stress * Exercise more * Eat smaller portions at meals * Stop smoking

Q: Can physical therapy be just as good has having surgery for someone that’s had chronic knee pain?

A: Many people suffer from a chronic knee pain condition known as Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS). There is cartilage under the kneecap (patella) that acts as a natural shock absorber. However, sometimes after injury, overuse or other factors cause that cartilage to wear away thereby causing pain. Sometimes muscle tightness or weakness can also change the way the patella moves and cause pain as well. Surgically, the surgeon smooths the undersurface of the patella.

Conservatively with physical therapy, flexibility and strength of the muscles around the knee joint are examined and modalities can be used to help decrease pain. A recent study in the British Journal of Sports Medicine in June of 2012 showed that after looking at patients with PFPS over a 5-year span, most patients who did a home exercise program alone did just as well as those who had arthroscopic surgery in addition to a home exercise program. If you have been dealing with knee pain, give Josiah Polito, PT, a call at Physical Therapy Solutions in Manchester to help get you started on a home exercise program and decrease your pain.

May is National Stroke Awareness Month

PAGE 15

Stroke is a leading cause of death in the United States, killing nearly 130,000 Americans each year, that is 1 of every 19 deaths. On average, one American dies from stroke every four minutes.

There are two types of stroke. Either type of stroke can cause brain cells to die quickly.

An ischemic stroke occurs when a clot blocks the blood supply to the brain. Ischemic strokes are the most common type of stroke. A "mini-stroke," or transient ischemic attack (TIA), occurs when the blood supply to the brain is interrupted only briefly.

A hemorrhagic stroke occurs when a blood vessel in the brain bursts.

If you or someone you know shows any symptoms of a stroke, get to a hospital quickly to begin treatment. Medical personnel will try to stop an ischemic stroke while it is happening by quickly dissolving the blood clot or by stopping the bleeding. For hemorrhagic stroke, immediate surgery may be needed to prevent re-bleeding or other complications, which can lead to serious disability or death in 40% to 60% of cases.

What Is My Risk for Stroke?

In 2009, one-third of people hospitalized for stroke were younger than age 65. Stroke has a serious effect on the person who suffers one, the person's family, and society.

Some of the factors that can increase your risk for stroke are age, sex, and race/ethnicity. Having high cholesterol, high blood pressure, or diabetes can increase your risk for stroke. Smoking and not exercising enough also are risk factors for stroke. Greatly reduce risk for stroke by leading a healthy lifestyle and working with your doctor to treat and control your medical conditions.

Tips for Preventing Stroke Eat a healthy diet; include plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. Eating foods low in saturated fat and cholesterol and high in fiber can help prevent high blood cholesterol. Limit sodium in your diet.

WEATHER SUMMARY

By Harry Hillaker, State Climatologist, Iowa Department of Agriculture & Land Stewardship Showers and thunderstorms brought rain statewide on both Sunday (11th) and Monday (12th) and contributed greatly to Iowa’s wettest week in nearly one year. Weekly rain totals varied from 0.31 inches at Sibley to 4.09 inches near Osceola. The statewide average precipitation was 1.79 inches compared to a normal for the week of 1.05 inches. Another area of mostly light rain traversed the state from Wednesday (14th) night into Friday (16th) morning. This second precipitation event brought some sleet to central Iowa on Thursday with a few thunderstorms bringing more than a half inch of rain to parts of east central Iowa.

The reporting week began warm with highs ranging from the upper 60’s northwest to mid 80’s southwest on Sunday (11th). A strong cold front moved into Iowa on Monday (12th) with highs only in the upper 40’s northwest while upper 80’s were recorded in eastern Iowa ahead of the front. Temperatures averaged 10 to 20 degrees below normal from Tuesday (13th) into Saturday (17th). Light freezes were recorded in far northwest Iowa on both Wednesday and Thursday mornings. Friday morning saw a freeze over about the western one-half of the state with a hard freeze across the northwest. Another freeze was recorded Saturday (17th) morning with the lowest readings across the northeast. Temperature extremes for the week varied from a Monday afternoon high of 88 degrees at Le Claire to a Friday morning low of 24 degrees at Spencer. Spencer’s minimum was the lowest temperature recorded for so late in the spring in Iowa since Sanborn had a 22 degree reading on May 22, 1963. Temperatures for the week as a whole averaged from 5 degrees below normal over the east to 11 degrees below normal across the northwest with a statewide average of 8.1 degrees subnormal.

that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants.

•SGL - Single Sample Result •TCR - Total Coliform Rule GENERAL INFORMATION Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water posed a health risk. More information about contaminants or potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).

Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV-AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).

If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing.

Those who have an immediate need or would like to make a donation should contact Stephanie at measmissionministry@ gmail.com for additional information. control the variety of materials used in plumbing components.

When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http:// www.epa.gov/safewater/lead SOURCE WATER ASSESSMENT INFORMATION This water supply obtains its water from the dolomite and limestone of the Silurian-Devonian aquifer. The Silurian-Devonian aquifer was determined to have low susceptibility to contamination because the characteristics of the aquifer and overlying materials provide natural protection from contaminates at the land surface.

The Silurian-Devonian well will have low susceptibility to surface contaminants such as leaking underground storage tanks, contaminant spills, and excess fertilizer application. A detailed evaluation of your source water was completed by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, and is available from the Water Operator at 319-935-3317.

CONTACT INFORMATION For questions regarding this information or how you can get involved in decisions regarding the water system, please contact WINTHROP WATER SUPPLY AT 319-935-3317.

Activities sponsored by Buchanan County Conservation Board this spring challenge participants to learn and do more.

Preregistration is required for these workshops by calling 319636-2617 or emailing fontanapark@iowatelecom.net Learn more about monarch butterflies at a Monarch Larvae Monitoring Project Workshop at 10 AM-2 PM Saturday, May 31 at Fontana Interpretive Nature Center south of Hazleton.

Monarchs have again made the news this winter, with the lowest population numbers ever in the overwintering colonies in central Mexico. Scientists are working to understand the dynamics of survival of monarch reproduction in the summer range. The Monarch Larvae Monitoring Project (MLMP) involves citizens in collecting data on monarch eggs, larvae, and adults during this summer reproduction. Information will help to explain the distribution and abundance patterns of monarch butterflies in North America at times other than migration. Buchanan County has participated in this project since 2005.

Results are entered on the www.mlmp.org website and are available to scientists and anyone interested in the information on caterpillar numbers and trends. Monarch populations can recover quickly if conditions are favorable in the breeding range of North America â&#x20AC;&#x201C; female monarchs can lay over 500 eggs each. Monitoring helps scientists to determine exactly what conditions are most favorable for survival of larval stages.

This workshop will train participants in the methods used by the MLMP program so that populations at the Nature Center and other local sites can be monitored. Get involved in saving a once common â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but rapidly diminishing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; species.

There is a $5 registration fee per person for this event.
