Above normal temperatures during the week aided crop development. Activities for the week included spraying for insects, baling hay, and hauling grain. Topsoil moisture levels improved and rated 4 percent very short, 19 percent short, 73 percent adequate, and 4 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture levels rated 4 percent very short, 21 percent short, 73 percent adequate, and 2 percent surplus. Eighty-eight percent of Iowa’s corn crop was in the dough stage or beyond, 17 days ahead of last year and 8 days ahead of the five-year average. Corn crop in the dent stage reached 33 percent, 25 percentage points above the previous year but 9 points below normal. Three-quarters of the corn acreage was reported in good to excellent condition. Ninety-four percent of the soybean crop was setting pods or beyond, 13 percentage points above last year and 1 point above average. With a few farmers reporting soybean leaves starting to turn color, 73 percent of the soybean acreage was in good to excellent condition. Oat harvest for grain was nearing completion, slightly behind the previous year and normal. With the second cutting of alfalfa hay nearing completion, the third cutting of alfalfa hay was 46 percent complete, 11 percentage points below last year and 18 points below the fiveyear average. Sixty-four percent of all hay was rated in good to excellent condition. Pasture condition rated 56 percent good to excellent. Stress on livestock increased this week due to heat and ies. IOWA PRELIMINARY WEATHER SUMMARY By Harry Hillaker, State Climatologist, Iowa Department of Agriculture & Land Stewardship Heat, humidity and rainfall all returned in abundance to Iowa this past reporting week. Temperatures were above normal throughout the week with the exception of a brief cool-down over the northeast one-half of the state on Wednesday (20th). This was among the warmer weeks of the year with readings averaging from 1 to 2 degrees above normal over the far southeast to 6 degrees above normal over the northwest. The statewide average temperature was 4.0 degrees above normal. Temperature extremes varied from a Wednesday morning low of 56 degrees at Stanley (Buchanan Co.) to afternoon highs of 92 degrees at Sioux City on Thursday and Stanley on Friday. The week began dry on Sunday (17th). However, heavy rain fell over much of Worth and Mitchell counties early Monday (18th) morning with lighter rains over the northeast one-third of the state. On Tuesday (19th) rain was confined to extreme southeast Iowa. Wednesday brought rain over a large area from west central to southeast Iowa. Thursday (21st) saw rain fall over much of the northeast two-thirds of the state. Friday (22nd) brought scattered thunderstorms to the southern two-thirds of Iowa. Finally, Saturday (23rd) brought rain statewide with greatest amounts over south central Iowa. Weekly rain totals varied from 0.33 inches at Persia (Harrison Co.) and 0.35 inches at Blockton (Taylor Co.) to 7.00 inches at Greenfield and 5.97 inches at Saint Ansgar (Mitchell Co.). The statewide average rainfall was 1.85 inches or double the weekly normal of 0.93 inches. This was Iowa’s wettest week in seven weeks.

URGENT CARE OfďŹ ce Hours

The policy for free and reduced-price school meals for children who are unable to pay the full price of meals has been released by the Iowa Department of Education. The meals are served through the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program and the Afterschool Care Snack Program. State and local officials have adopted family size and income criteria for determining eligibility (see chart below). Households may apply for free or reduced-price meal benefits one of four ways: • Students from households whose income is at or below the levels shown are eligible for reduced-price meals or for free meals. All children in a household may be listed on one application, which then can be returned to any one of the children’s schools. • Students from Food Assistance households and children who receive benefits under the Family Investment Program (FIP) are eligible for free meals. Most children from Food Assistance and FIP households will qualify for free meals automatically. These households will be notified of benefits in letters from their children’s schools. Households that receive a letter from the school district need to do nothing more to ensure their children receive free meals. • Some Food Assistance and FIP households will receive letters from the Iowa Department of Human Services. Children listed in the letters will qualify for free meals, but parents must first take these letters to the children’s schools. • Food Assistance or FIP households that receive benefits but do not receive a letter from DHS must apply for free school meals on behalf of their children. Only complete applications will be approved by schools. Applications may be submitted at any time during the year. If a family member becomes unemployed, the family should contact the school to complete an application. Foster children are eligible for free meal benefits. Some foster children will qualify for free meals automatically through the State Direct Certification process, and their host families will be notified of these benefits. Families that are notified need to do nothing more to ensure their children receive free meals. Families with live-in foster children who are not notified but wish to apply for free meals will find instructions on the application form. Participants in the Special Supplement Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) may be eligible for free or reduced-price meals based on a completed application. Households with children who are enrolled in the Head Start/Even Start Program or the Migrant Education Program or who are considered homeless or runaway by the school district’s homeless liaison should contact the school for assistance with benefits. Individuals who are dissatisfied with a ruling by school officials can formally appeal, either orally or in writing, to the school’s designated hearing official. The policy statement on file at the school contains an outline of the hearing procedure. School officials may verify the information in the application and that deliberate misrepresentation of information may subject the applicant to prosecution under applicable state and federal criminal statutes. Households should contact their local schools for more information.

Buchanan County Health Center The Season for Watermelon

Watermelons abound in Iowa gardens this time of year. Not only is it a fun food to grow and eat, it is also great for you! It is very low calorie at only 40-50 calories per cup. It is also a fat free and cholesterol free food. Watermelons are also an excellent source of vitamin A and vitamin C, and are a good source of vitamin B6. Picking the perfect watermelon can be a challenge. Look for a melon that is firm and heavy for its size. (After all, watermelon is 92% water!) Also, look for a light yellow or white spot from where the melon sat and ripened on the ground. Try this simple watermelon recipe. It’s a great after-school snack for kids as well!

Frozen Watermelon Pops • 8 oz lemon yogurt • 2 cups cubed watermelon • 1 pint strawberries • 1 banana Blend all of the ingredients together in a food processor. Pour the prepared “smoothieâ€? mixture into small paper cups. Freeze. Insert popsicle sticks when the mixture is partially frozen. Once frozen, remove from the cups and enjoy!

Buchanan County Health Center’s state-of-the-art Surgery Department includes both a large surgical suite and smaller Endoscopy Room. Both rooms provide technology for laparoscopic and endoscopic procedures which result in a smaller incision and quicker recovery time for patients. In 2013, ten individual, general and specialty surgeons completed more than 1,250 surgeries at BCHC. That is twice the surgical volume posted just two years ago.

Opening of the maximumsecurity prison in Fort Madison has been delayed since March due to an and heating designed improperly cooling system. According to the Des Moines Register, it is hoped the new Iowa State Penitentiary, built for $132 million and designed to hold 550 inmates, will open by late summer or early fall; however, there is no ofďŹ cial timeline. Investigation showed the geothermal heat pumps installed were signiďŹ cantly oversized, rated at 40-horsepower instead of 25horsepower. Although the system works appropriately in the prison administration building, other areas, including prisoner housing are having problems. Iowa Department of Corrections is blaming the architectural ďŹ rm, Durrant Group of Dubuque, which shut down in 2012. In the meantime, the original penitentiary at Fort Madison, built in 1839, still houses maximum security inmates.

Winthrop Days is a time to shine

Last weekend showed Winthrop Days has much to offer with a variety of activities appealing to those of all ages. A special feature this year were tug-of-war contests. After a demonstration by the Greeley Power Train tugof-war team, locals joined in the fun. Activities included a parade, tractor pull, big ball tournament, 5K run/walk, ďŹ sh fry dinner, ďŹ reworks and much more. Musical entertainment featured Beau Timmerman, Keepin it Country, and The Swamp Cats. See more pictures on page 23. Pictured: A vastly outnumbered girls team gets a little help with tug-of war.

Lead Lead poisoning poisoning affects more than just humans – it affects wildlife, too. A two-year study conďŹ rmed lead exposure in bald cant than signiďŹ more eagles is even previously thought. The Gazette recently reported a study of 168 dead eagles recovered primarily in Iowa and Wisconsin by conservation agencies showed most had physical symptoms of lead exposure. Lead was detected in 48% of the eagle’s livers, with 21% having a lethal concentration of lead. It was determined in some cases the poisoning was so acute the bird died before showing symptoms. According to the Iowa DNR, symptoms of lead poisoning in eagles include loss of balance, gasping, tremors, and difďŹ culty ying. The birds become abnormally thin and weak and death may occur within 2-3 weeks of ingestion. In addition to ďŹ sh, eagles will eat animal carcasses, including the remains of ďŹ eld-dressed deer. Researchers examined 25 deer gut piles in northwest Illinois; x-rays revealed 36% were contaminated by lead fragments. Several eagles could die just from eating one gut pile. Lead poisoning and contamination due to ammunition can be prevented by hunters switching to non-toxic ammunition.
