Living Well with Buchanan County Health Center Peas and Carrots Encouraging your young child to try new foods can be a challenging task. Many kids insist on eating the same familiar things day after day.

They prefer peanut butter and jelly sandwiches at every meal. How do you get your child to enjoy new healthy options?!

Always introduce a new food to your child by eating it with them. As their role model for healthy behaviors, this shows them that you

like it also. Also, remember to make the experience fun and enjoyable, and avoid pressuring or forcing your child to try something.

Here are other tips for introducing new, healthy options to your children.

•Encourage them to try at least one bite, but avoid forcing the situation. Keep the experience positive.

•Let your child choose which new food he/she wants to try. They will feel more in control if they can pick.

•Offer new foods at the beginning of the meal. If your child is hungry, they are more apt to give in and try it.

•Encourage everyone in your family to try new foods.

Kids echo what they see and hear so be a good role model!

•Mix it up. If you tried to get your child to eat cooked vegetables and they turned away, try serving them raw.

Many kids prefer colorful and finger-friendly foods.

Get Fit. Stay Well.

Schedule children’s back-to-school dental appointments

THE WELLNESS CENTER FEATURES:

•Give your child credit when they do agree to sample new things. Try creating a visual chart by displaying pictures of healthy foods you wish for them to be introduced to.

Then, let them mark the chart once they’ve tried it.

•Don’t give up. Just because your child showed disgust the first time he/she tried broccoli doesn’t mean they won’t like it the next time you attempt. Keep trying!

•Relax. Remember that it’s ok for your child to not like everything you set in front of them. It is normal for everyone (including us as adults) to have food favorites and food dislikes.

Here For You. Trusted For Life.

As the summer days click away, parents should take a few minutes to think about midyear checkups. Scheduling appointments this summer for dental, vision and annual physical wellness checkups can create less hassle in August when busy parents are also gathering school supply lists and arranging car pools.

In Iowa, all children entering kindergarten and ninth grade are required to have a dental screening before school starts, according to the Iowa Department of Public Health.

These preventive checks help with early identification of dental health issues and other overall health problems. Regular dental exams for children of all ages, especially during the summer or over school breaks, can reduce the number of school days students miss due to dental pain and appointments. A survey by Delta Dental showed that 18% of students miss at least one half day of school per year due to dental appointments.

“We know that preventive dental health care routines, such as having dental exams twice a year and regular brushing and flossing, contribute tremendously to overall health,” said Dr. Jeff Chaffin, vice president and dental director for Delta Dental of Iowa. “The investment in time to schedule dental appointments this summer is one that will pay off with less time out of school and possibly fewer dental emergencies.”

To get more enjoyment out of summer and prepare for back to school, parents can: • Check with their dental insurance provider to determine available benefits to take advantage of preventive checkups.

• Review the health registration requirements of their local school and the state of Iowa Department of Public Health to determine what appointments children need before the next school year.

• Schedule appointments in July or early August for their child’s regular dental health examinations and overall well-child checkups.

• Ask their dentist about applying dental sealants. Sealants, a thin plastic coating applied directly to teeth, help prevent bacteria from settling into the natural pits and grooves of teeth where most tooth decay in children develops. They can reduce the chances of a tooth forming new decay by up to 70%.

• Based on their child’s extra-curricular activities, ask their dentist about a customfitted mouthguard to protect the child from impact injuries to teeth and gums.

A few minutes of planning now can save the stress later this summer of trying to squeeze in required dental health exams for school-age children.

Iowa Crop Report Hit or miss rains allowed Iowa farmers 4.5 days suitable for ďŹ eldwork for the week ending July 10, 2016, according to the USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service. Activities for the week included herbicide and insecticide applications to soybeans and second cutting of hay. There were scattered reports of crop damage due to strong winds and hail.

Topsoil moisture levels rated 5 percent very short, 19 percent short, 72 percent adequate and 4 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture levels rated 4 percent very short, 17 percent short, 75 percent adequate and 4 percent surplus. South central and southeast Iowa were the driest areas of the State with 49 percent rated short to very short on subsoil moisture.

Twenty-nine percent of the corn crop had reached the silking stage. Corn condition rated 79 percent good to excellent. Soybeans blooming reached 40 percent, 2 days ahead of both last year and the ďŹ ve-year average. Six percent of soybeans were setting pods, 4 days ahead of normal. Soybean condition rated 77 percent good to excellent this week. Nearly all of the State’s oat crop was headed. Oat acreage turning color reached 75 percent, with 16 percent of the oat crop harvested for grain or seed, 4 days ahead of last year. The statewide oat crop condition rating was unchanged from last week at 80 percent good to excellent.

The second cutting of alfalfa hay reached 67 percent, more than 2 weeks ahead of last year and 11 days ahead of the average. The third cutting of alfalfa hay got underway this week. Hay condition was rated at 72 percent good to excellent, while pasture condition rated 61 percent good to excellent. Livestock were generally reported to be in good condition, beneďŹ ting from cooler temperatures.

Traveling Vietnam Memorial to visit Urbandale this fall

The Wall That Heals, a 250-foot half-scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial that stands in Washington DC, will be hosted by Team Welcome Home on the front lawn of Living History Farms in Urbandale, Sept. 29 through Oct. 2.

The Wall That Heals honors the more than three million Americans who served in the U.S. Armed forces during the Vietnam War and its walls bear the names of the more than 58,000 men and women who made the ultimate sacriďŹ ce in Vietnam. The traveling replica is designed to bring The Wall’s healing legacy to communities across the U.S., and to those who have not had the chance or the ability to visit the real structure.

The exhibit includes a mobile Education Center comprised of photos of service members whose names are found on The Wall; letters and memorabilia left at The Wall in DC; a map of Vietnam and a chronological overview of the conict in Vietnam. The exhibits tell the story of the Vietnam War, The Wall and the era surrounding the conict, and are designed to put American experiences in Vietnam in a historical and cultural context.

The Wall That Heals is free of charge to visit and open 24 hours during it’s time at Living History Farms. Since its debut in 1996, more than two million people have visited The Wall That Heals sites. It has made stops in nearly 400 U.S. communities. Children of all ages and families are welcome and encouraged to visit.

The event will be hosted by a group of local volunteers known as Team Welcome Home, an unincorporated, nonproďŹ t association supported by the Iowa Veterans Foundation. For more information visit www.TeamWelcomeHomeIowa.com

Hospice of Comfort reports scam

With school out and temperatures rising, summer is in full swing in Iowa. Iowa’s state parks oer an endless list of activities to get outdoors, stay active and enjoy all Iowa has to oer.

Just in time for summer, June was named Great Outdoors Month to encourage Iowans to take advantage of the state’s recreational activities, enjoy its nature and commit to caring for Iowa’s natural resources. The initiative promotes outdoor activities and appreciating Iowa’s natural resources through biking, swimming, hiking, paddling, ďŹ shing, hunting, boating, bird watching and camping. I happily support this initiative, because I believe cherishing Iowa’s natural resources.

Backbone State Park is Iowa’s ďŹ rst state park, recognized in 1920. Iowa now has 72 state parks, and thousands of Iowans have plans to visit the state parks this summer. You and your family can book a reservation now for camping, cabins, day-use lodges and picnic shelters online. Visit ww.iowadnr.gov/parks or http:// iowastateparks.reserveamerica.com or call 1-877-427-2757 to make a reservation.

Travel Iowa is also a great place to look for fun family activities this summer. Request Travel Iowa’s Iowa Travel Guide by calling 1-800-345-IOWA or view it online at http://www.traveliowa.com/travelGuide. Visit http://www.traveliowa.com for more Iowa trip ideas.

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. You can always contact me anytime at bruce.bearinger@legis.iowa.gov or 515-281-3221.

Hospice of Comfort is informing the public about a solicitation for donations targeting those in the Manchester and Delaware County areas. The Hospice Support Fund (a program of the New Hope Foundation, Inc.), located in MerriďŹ eld VA, has been soliciting community members through personalized charity mailers. Their solicitation includes a plea for its 2016 Annual Fund Drive to support the nationwide eort to bring end of life home hospice care to all Americans. “We, at Hospice of Comfort, want the community to know the soliciting did not come from our organization and believe it to be a scam,â€? stated Regional Medical Home Care and Hospice of Comfort Director Kristin Drabek.

While Hospice Support Fund may actually exist, according to their legal disclosure, “In the last ďŹ scal year The Hospice Support Fund raised a total of $1,521,951. Its expense distribution was 69.39% on fundraising, 10.22% on administration, 5.93% on program services, and 14.46% on public education in conjunction with fundraising appeals.â€? When residents donate to Hospice of Comfort, 100% of their donations stay local. Hospice of Comfort does not conduct annual fund drives. For information, call 563-927-7303.

Yard and garden: Add native plants to Iowa landscapes Native plants can give home landscapes a unique, varied look when paired with the current ďŹ&#x201A;ora and fauna that already dot landscapes across Iowa. How should they be handled?

Which native plants are best for speciďŹ c landscapes and gardens, and how should they be treated for best results? ISU Extension and Outreach horticulturists can help decipher these issues. To have additional questions answered, contact the ISU Hortline at 515-294-3108 or hortline@iastate.edu.

What are good native perennials for woodland gardens?

Native wildďŹ&#x201A;owers that make good additions to woodland gardens include wood anemone (Anemone quinquefolia), wild columbine (Aquilegia canadensis), Jack-in-the-pulpit (Arisaema triphyllum), goatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beard (Aruncus dioicus), Canadian wild ginger (Asarum canadense), spring beauty (Claytonia virginica), Dutchmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s breeches (Dicentra cucullaria), shooting star (Dodecatheon meadia), wild geranium (Geranium maculatum) and Virginia bluebells (Mertensia virginica).

Also suitable are woodland phlox (Phlox divaricata), Jacobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ladder (Polemonium reptans), May apple (Podophyllum peltatum), Solomonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seal (Polygonatum biďŹ&#x201A;orum), bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis), false Solomonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seal (Maianthemum racemosum), merrybells (Uvularia grandiďŹ&#x201A;ora), and others.

Obtaining plants is easy. Woodland wildďŹ&#x201A;owers are

readily available at garden centers and mail-order nurseries in spring. Do not remove plants from natural woodland areas.

Which native ferns are suitable for the home landscape?

Native ferns that are good additions to shady locations in the home landscape include the northern maidenhair fern (Adiantum pedatum), lady fern (Athyrium ďŹ lixfemina), intermediate wood fern (Dryopteris intermedia), ostrich fern (Matteuccia struthiopteris), cinnamon fern (Osmundastrum cinnamomeum), and interrupted fern (Osmunda claytoniana). Most ferns perform best in moist soils in partial to heavy shade.

Which native shrubs can be grown in shady locations in the home landscape?

Native deciduous shrubs that can be successfully grown in partial shade include serviceberry (Amelanchier arborea), pagoda dogwood (Cornus alternifolia), gray dogwood (Cornus racemosa), bush honeysuckle (Diervilla lonicera), common witchhazel (Hamamelis virginiana), arrowwood viburnum (Viburnum dentatum), nannyberry (Viburnum lentago), and American cranberrybush viburnum (Viburnum opulus var. americanum).

The only native evergreen shrub that can be successfully grown in shady areas is the Canadian yew (Taxus canadensis).

Yard and garden: Proper mowing practices Summer is here, and with it, growing green grass on lawns everywhere. The hum of lawn mowers is beginning to ďŹ ll the air, and that hum brings questions about proper mowing practices.

How should mowing practices be tailored to speciďŹ c grasses? Iowa State University Extension and Outreach horticulturists can help make lawn mowing rewarding and fruitful. To have additional questions answered, contact the ISU Hortline at 515-294-3108 or hortline@ iastate.edu.

When mowing the lawn, what is the proper mowing height? Kentucky bluegrass lawns should be mowed at a height of 2½-3 inches in the spring and fall months. Mow bluegrass lawns at a height of 3-3½ inches in June, July and August. A higher mowing height in summer helps to cool the crowns of the turfgrass plants, encourages deeper rooting and provides more leaf area for photosynthesis during the stressful summer months.

Mowing below the recommended range may scalp the turf and cause the turfgrass to deteriorate. Extremely low mowing heights decrease the total leaf surface area, carbohydrate reserves and root growth, creating a situation where the turfgrass plants are unable to produce enough food to meet their needs. This makes the plants more susceptible to drought, high temperature and wear injury. In addition, the bare areas created by a decrease in turfgrass density increase the likelihood of weed problems.

Mowing too high also can create problems. Mowing above the recommended range reduces tillering and

causes matting of the grass. Reduced tillering results in fewer and coarser plants, while matted grass creates a micro-environment that encourages disease development.

How often should I mow my lawn?

Mowing frequency is based on the growth rate of the turfgrass. Weather conditions, cultural practices (such as fertilization and irrigation practices), and other factors determine the growth rate of turfgrass.

Kentucky bluegrass and other coolseason grasses grow quickly in spring when weather conditions are favorable. The growth of cool-season grasses slows during the stressful summer months and then picks up again in fall. Fertilizing and irrigating the lawn promote turfgrass growth. The faster the growth rate of the grass, the more frequent the mowing.

Mowing height also aďŹ&#x20AC;ects mowing frequency. The general rule is to remove no more than â&#x2026;&#x201C; of the total leaf surface at any one mowing. A lawn mowed at a height of two inches should be cut when it reaches three inches in height, while a lawn mowed to a height of three inches should be cut when it reaches the height of 4½ inches.

A shorter mowing height requires more frequent mowing, as a lawn can be allowed to grow one inch when the

mowing height is two inches and 1½ inches when the mowing height is three inches.

Should I remove the grass clippings when mowing the lawn? When the lawn is mowed properly, grass clippings do not need to be removed or bagged. Small clippings ďŹ lter down into the turf and quickly decompose, returning essential plant nutrients to the soil. Lawn clippings do not signiďŹ cantly contribute to thatch development.

Grass clippings may need to be bagged or raked and removed when mowing extremely tall grass. One may also want to bag the grass clippings and use them as a mulch in vegetable and ďŹ&#x201A;ower gardens.

Wild parsnip

By Sondra Cabell, Naturalist Buchanan County Conservation

While driving down the highways and byways of Buchanan County and elsewhere in Iowa, you may notice that there is a beautiful yellow ďŹ&#x201A;owered plant blooming in many ditches right now. This is one plant you deďŹ nitely do NOT want to cut for a ďŹ&#x201A;ower arrangement.

Chemicals in the juice of any green part of the wild parsnip plant, when they make contact with our skin in the presence of sunlight (the UV light that is present even on cloudy days) and especially with water (sweat, dew, rainfall), will cause the skin to burn and often to blister. And this is not an allergic reaction that some may experience and others do not, it is a physical and chemical reaction that all who have the contact will experience.

If you visit a doctor for unexpected patches of redness and blisters following a hike or walk in the outdoors, you are likely to get the diagnosis of poison ivy. But unlike poison ivy, this rash will burn for a day or so and then is relatively painless and itch free. The rash should be treated more like a burn, using cool wet compresses to provide comfort.

The best way to avoid this discomfort, is to learn to identify the plant and stay away from it or wear protective clothing when contact is expected. Long sleeves and pants and gloves that cover the wrists are recommended for those removing the plant to prevent its spread.

Wild parsnip is a non-native plant that has been in this country and this county for quite some time. Records show it in neighboring Wisconsin as early as 1894, and anecdotal accounts have it in Buchanan County at least 50-60 years. But it seems to have expanded in abundance in recent decades â&#x20AC;&#x201C; likely due to changes in the maintenance of our ditches and ďŹ elds. A member of the dill

and carrot family, the plant may have come to our country (like dandelions) as a garden vegetable. It is native to both Europe and Asia. Like dandelions, it has largely become naturalized in our area.

Wild parsnip is a biannual, seeds sprout and grow to a cluster of leaves the ďŹ rst year, and the ďŹ&#x201A;ower develops the second. Hundreds of seeds form on a single plant.

Birds eat them and carry them about before depositing the seeds with their droppings in new locations. Seeds are also spread by mowing the plants any time after ďŹ&#x201A;owering begins. These seeds begin growing soon after and they grow best with little competition â&#x20AC;&#x201C; areas where other plants have been killed by broadcast spraying or cut back with a mower. Mowing and spraying are much more common maintenance practices recently and have likely inadvertently contributed to the spread of wild parsnip (and other similar biannual plants like Canada thistle and Queen Anneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lace).

In most areas, wild parsnip is not problematic because people are not frequenting the places it grows best â&#x20AC;&#x201C; roadside ditches and other disturbed areas. And in fact, it is beneďŹ cial to a number of wildlife species including the black swallowtail butterďŹ&#x201A;y whose caterpillars feed on the leaves and ďŹ&#x201A;ower heads and birds who nest in its sturdy branched stem and feed on the seeds.

Buchanan County Conservation does some management to remove wild parsnip in areas where public programs occur, primarily by pulling the plants. It can also be managed (more intensive in time) by clipping oďŹ&#x20AC; the ďŹ&#x201A;ower and seed heads while the seeds

Congressman

are still green. The plants will continue to regrow ďŹ&#x201A;owers throughout the summer when cut, so this method is ongoing. In either case, the plants must then be removed from the area to prevent seed ripening after pulling/cutting. In areas where prairies are well established, wild parsnip is only seen occasionally as it does not compete well against the native plants. It will grow there if the area is disturbed (burrowing animals and ďŹ re), but seldom becomes established in large numbers.

Buchanan County Roadside Management has had several calls on wild parsnip this year as it has been highly visible in news stories this summer. Management of the large population needs to look to future growth as the ďŹ&#x201A;owers and seeds this summer are already set and mowing and spraying at this stage â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as mentioned above â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will only contribute to establishing the next seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plants.

One of the best long term management practices involved is establishing native prairie plants in county roadsides to out-compete the invasives. Sherlyn Hazen, department head, encourages the public wanting to manage the plant in public ditches near their property to follow the management tips mentioned by BCCB â&#x20AC;&#x201C; either pull or cut plants and remove them from the managed area.
