Blood drive collects over 40 units An American Red Cross Blood Drive was held May 19 at First Presbyterian Church in Independence, collecting 43 units of productive blood. Craig Bussan of Independence was a first-time donor, while Denis Weber earned a 12-gallon pin and Bob Beier earned a 3-gallon pin. Bussan had not given blood since college so was considered a “first timer.” Cookies were donated by St. John Catholic Church Rosary Society. The next Red Cross Blood Drive will be in August. “We look forward to seeing you then,” said American Red Cross Coordinator Vicki Kegeler. “We appreciate your time and effort.”

Olivia Oltrogge is a Vinton-Shellsburg junior and daughter of Pam and Al Oltrogge of Shellsburg. She has participated in soccer, cross country, and debate. A National Honor Society (NHS) member and wrestling team manager, Olivia has received an academic letter every year. She participates in her church’s youth group and volunteers as a member of the cookand-cleaning crew for summer camp and at her local food pantry. She is currently working to raise funds for a medical mission trip to Haiti that will take place this summer. Caitlin Kruckenberg is another Vinton-Shellsburg junior. Her parents are Aaron and Becky Kruckenberg of Garrison. Caitlin has participated in volleyball, club volleyball, basketball, soccer, Voyagers dance team, choir, chamber choir, student council, and jazz choir. She has academic letters, carries a 4.0 GPA, and is an NHS member. Caitlin is a member of First Assembly of God and serves as a ministry team assistant in children’s church.

Surrender the Salt Shaker Sodium often gets a bad rapport in the health world, but some sodium in your diet is essential. Your body requires it to function properly. You need sodium for maintaining proper fluid balances in the body, regulating blood pressure, and for the functioning of muscles and nerves. However, most Americans intake far more sodium than needed which can lead to high blood pressure, heart disease, and many other dangerous health risks. The American Heart Association recommends aiming to eat less than 1,500 mg of sodium per day, but the average American consumes hundreds of milligrams more than recommended each day! Know where the sodium in your diet comes from and do your best to limit or avoid the problem foods in your day. Read food labels carefully to determine how much you are consuming. Look for products that are low in sodium or have no added salt. According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), a
product must contain 140 mg of sodium or less per serving to claim to be “low sodium.â€? Beware of the main sources of sodium in your diet: •Processed/ prepared foods This includes many soups, cheeses, and fast foods. One can of soup may contain nearly 1,000 mg. •Natural sources There is approximately 100 mg of sodium naturally occurring in one cup of milk. •Salt as an added condiment Keep in mind that just one teaspoon of table salt has approximately 2,300 mg of sodium!

Bird Watch! PAGE 10
May 29, 2014
Steven and Mary Beth Smith were amazed to see these brilliant red birds while walking at Backbone State Park a few weeks ago. The scarlet tanagers were quite tame and the Smiths were able to get within a few feet and even click some photos! It is rare to see scarlet tanagers in the Midwest, as they are much more common in the Eastern U.S. Though Steve and Mary Beth have walked in the same area several times since, they have not spotted the birds again. Perhaps they were just passing through! Male scarlet tanagers’ bright red bodies are set off by jetblack wings and tail. According to research, they are also one of the most frustratingly hard to find as they stay high in the forest canopy singing rich, burry songs. The yellowish-green, dark-winged females can be even harder to spot until you key in on this bird’s chick-burr call note. In fall, males trade red feathers for yellow-green and the birds take off for northern South America. Scarlet tanagers breed in deciduous and mixed deciduous-evergreen forests in eastern North America. Do YOU have bird photos to share with our readers? Email them to news@thewinthropnews.com, or mail to PO Box 9, Winthrop IA 50682 or drop off at our office at 225 W. Madison, Winthrop or at S&K Collectibles in downtown Independence.

Peak camping season begins
Iowa state parks will host more than 700,000 campers and 14 million visitor days this year. Following are important tips for campers. Check equipment Go through equipment to make sure it’s in working order. Check tents for holes, make sure tent poles are not cracked, the lantern still works and new batteries are packed. RV owners should check breakers, make sure tires are properly inflated, roof seams sealed and propane tanks are filled. Campground etiquette • Be a good neighbor. Observe quiet hours and pick up after yourself. • Don’t burn trash – only firewood. • Keep pets on a leash and don’t leave them unattended. • Get firewood locally to avoid transporting pests. • Don’t bring fireworks. Other tips • Keep track of the weather and have a plan in case of severe weather. • Plan to arrive as early in the day to set up the site, look for potential problems and avoid those areas. • Prepare ingredients for meals before leaving home for less time cooking and more time playing. • Bug spray, sun screen and a basic first-aid kit are must haves. • Check the registration kiosk for activities in the area. Firewood The Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship requires all firewood sold or acquired in Iowa to have the county and state of harvest location on the label of packages and the delivery ticket for bulk firewood. The rules were added to prevent the spread of invasive species. The rules only apply to firewood sold and acquired in Iowa. The rule also requires the Iowa DNR to collect firewood from campers that does not have a label.

record, but we still had several days where the air temperature was above freezing and the soil remained frozen. When this happens, trees use water reserves in their needles but are unable to absorb new water from the frozen soil,� said Tivon Feeley, with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. “The tree literally runs out of water.� Reports indicate arborvitae, white pine and white fir have moderate to severe damage from winter burn. Feeley said if the needles on the tree are dead, but buds are
alive, new plant foliage will replace foliage lost from winter burn. “However, if both the buds and needles are dead the tree will not recover and will need to be removed,� he said. There is no way to prevent winter burn; however, tree owners can reduce the risk by properly mulching and watering in the fall prior to the tree going dormant. Watering is especially important in drought years.
