Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementia program to be held Sept. 17
September is National Preparedness Month Make a plan – and communicate it!
During National Preparedness Month (NPM), the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency and affiliated agencies are reminding the public that preparing for floods is important for protecting lives, livelihoods and properties. “Flooding is fresh on the minds of many people in Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska. With so much flooding during the past few months, it’s a good time to consider the true risk,” said FEMA Region VII Regional Administrator Beth Freeman. “But it’s not enough to simply realize flooding is a real threat for us all. This month, this week, today, we hope everyone will take action to develop and practice a family emergency communication plan for hazards like flooding. This year our theme is, ‘Don’t wait. Communicate. Make your emergency plan today.’” Fewer than half of Americans have taken the time to plan what they will do if there is an emergency. Sitting down and developing a communication plan with loved ones doesn’t cost a thing, but can save a lot if a flood or another disaster affects one’s home and loved ones. In addition to floods, hurricanes, wildfires, tornadoes and earthquakes also occur frequently and devastate lives across the country every year. To find tools and resources to help develop and practice a family emergency communication plan, visit www.ready.gov/communicate. Managed and sponsored by the Ready campaign, National Preparedness Month is designed to raise awareness and encourage Americans to take steps to prepare for emergencies in their homes, schools, organizations, businesses, and places of worship.

Hospice of Comfort will welcome Linda Brown, program director of the Alzheimer’s Association – Greater Iowa Chapter, to Regional Medical Center (RMC) in Manchester. Brown will present “Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementia: Healthcare Considerations” at 2-4 PM and 5:307:30 PM Thursday, Sept. 17, with registration half an hour before each program. Brown (pictured) provides leadership and oversight to the Alzheimer’s Association – Greater Iowa Chapter programs and services spanning 85 counties in Iowa and western Illinois. Her previous healthcare experience includes providing leadership for organizations serving disadvantaged populations. Brown’s experiences include being an air and ground transport nurse in a NICU, setting up women’s clinics in Russia, providing a variety of leadership roles for children with special healthcare needs, and now ensuring Iowans living with dementia and their caregivers have superior services and support. The presentation will discuss screening for Alzheimer’s disease and common healthcare considerations in the different stages of the disease process. She will also review key teaching topics and coping strategies to support caregiving of Alzheimer’s patients; and will identify three ways to assess pain in persons with dementia. Both presentations are free and open to the public, with free nursing CEUs, Social Worker CEUs, and provider CMEs provided by Hospice of Comfort. Pre-register by Thursday, Sept. 10, on www.regmedctr.org under Events, or call 563-927-7526.

Ranking high amongst the list of powerhouse foods in the world is broccoli. Whether your family loves broccoli or not, there’s no denying that it is a powerful food loaded with health benefits, so encourage your kids to eat the “little green trees� on their plate! Broccoli belongs to the cruciferous vegetable family. Some other foods in this category include kale, cabbage, and Brussel sprouts. Research has shown that eating a high amount of cruciferous vegetables is associated with a lower risk of cancer. According to the USDA, one cup of chopped raw broccoli contains only 31 calories and is fat-free. It provides 100% of your vitamin C and vitamin K. Broccoli is also a good source of numerous other vitamins and minerals including vitamin A, folate, vitamin B6, potassium, calcium, and fiber among many others. Looking for a new way to enjoy broccoli? Try roasting it! Place fresh broccoli on a metal sheet lined with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and Parmesan cheese. Roast the broccoli at 450 degrees for 15 minutes. Enjoy!
To build a skilled workforce and strong economy, the state must be a good partner to Iowa’s 15 community colleges and local businesses. That’s why we’re continuing our investment this year in opportunities for job training, apprenticeships, high school completion, skills certification and credentials that will put more Iowans on the path to good jobs. Iowa has rebounded better than most states from the national recession, but too many people remain unemployed. The gap between the technical skills that workers have and those needed by today’s cutting edge businesses continues to grow. According to a new Pathways to Prosperity report from the Council of State Governments, thousands of well-paying jobs are available in Iowa but workers are not prepared to fill them. The nonpartisan Council of State Governments praises Iowa’s efforts to prepare skilled workers. Their Pathways to Prosperity report highlights initiatives like Elevate Iowa, which is expanding training at our community colleges in such fields as welding and industrial maintenance, with special emphasis on helping the underemployed, veterans and minorities. In addition, Future Ready Iowa is focusing on ways to better Get all your align education and job-training initiatives to close the skills local news gap and meet future employer needs.

Focus on fall prevention Submitted by RMC
September is Fall Prevention month, but at Regional Medical Center (RMC) in Manchester it is a high priority year round for all staff. Efforts to decrease falls have been successful, resulting in eight months fall free in the Inpatient Departments. “At admission, and repeatedly throughout their stay, a fall risk assessment is completed on patients. If they are deemed high fall risk, extra steps are taken to protect the patient from a fall,� reports Amanda Donlon, BSN, RN, and member of the patient safety team. “Symbols and alarms are part of the steps taken to alert staff members that a patient is considered a high fall risk. If a patient is considered a high fall risk, we welcome family members to stay with their loved one as they are able.� In addiEscape to the "Good 'Ole Days" of bobbiesocks and poodle skirts In our 1950s Ice Cream Parlor.

tion to educating patients and visitors, signs in patient rooms read “Please call, prevent a fall,â€? as a reminder to patients. Falls can take a serious toll on older adults’ quality of life and independence. Among older adults age 65 or older, falls are the leading cause of injury deaths, unintentional injuries, and hospital admissions for trauma. The chances of falling and of being seriously injured in a fall increase with age. “Fall prevention awareness month highlights the importance of educating our communities on how to reduce fall risks,â€? said RMC Quality Services Manager Joan Wessels. “Take proactive steps now to prevent falls in your or your loved ones’ home as well as when you are out and about so that you can stay independent for as long as possible.â€? Studies show that using a combination approach of different areas can greatly reduce falls among older adults. Recommendations include: • Routine physical activity with balance, strength train ing, and flexibility components. • Consulting with a health professional about getting a fall risk assessment. • Having medications reviewed periodically. • Getting eyes checked annually. • Having an annual hearing assessment. • Making sure the home environment is safe and supportive. Get the help necessary to make home safer and reduce the risk of falling.

It is time for an annual flu vaccination
Everyone 6-months of age and older should get a flu vaccine every year
The Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) reminds Iowans it is time for annual flu vaccination. “Influenza circulates year-round, but influenza spread typically picks up and remains active between October and May,� said IDPH Medical Director Dr. Patricia Quinlisk. “The single best way to protect against the flu is to get vaccinated each year. Being vaccinated now will ensure protection before the flu season starts in October; it’s not too early to get your shot.� The seasonal flu vaccine protects against the influenza viruses research indicates will be most common during the upcoming season. Traditional flu vaccines (called “trivalent� vaccines) are made to protect against three flu viruses: influenza A (H1N1) virus, influenza A (H3N2) virus, and an influenza B virus. “Quadrivalent� vaccines, which protect against the same three viruses as the trivalent vaccine and a second B virus are also available. Vaccination is available in many forms, including a traditional shot and a nasal spray. Everyone 6-months of age and older should get a flu vaccine every season. Vaccination to prevent influenza is especially important for those at high risk of serious complications from the flu – this includes the very young and those ages 65 and older. According to the CDC, as many as 90% of flu-related deaths in the U.S. occur in people ages 65 and older. The flu is a respiratory illness caused by viruses. Illness typically lasts two to seven days. The flu comes on suddenly and may cause severe illness or even death, even in healthy individuals. The “stomach bug,� which causes diarrhea and vomiting, is not caused by the influenza virus but usually by norovirus; thus, the flu vaccine will not protect against this illness. Influenza is not a “reportable disease� in Iowa, which means doctors are not required to notify IDPH each time a patient tests positive for influenza; however, IDPH conducts yearround influenza surveillance through the Iowa Influenza Surveillance Network. This surveillance indicates what types of Pictured: RMC Quality Services influenza viruses are circulating, and how widespread influManager Joan Wessels and Eduenza illness is.

People advised to avoid water with blue-green algae
September 10, 2013 PAGE11
Build a composter with a stand Submitted by Buchanan Co. Conservation Board
With some Iowa waters showing signs of blue-green algae blooms, people and pets should avoid contact with water that has a poor appearance. The appearance can be a pea-green or blue-green color, but also a reddish-brown. It may appear with scum, foam or as a thick mat on the water surface. Blue-green algae can grow quickly and become very abundant in warm, shallow, undisturbed surface water that receives a lot of sunlight. “We recommend that if you are in an area where it’s visibly showing masses of algae or a blue-green paint color, you should avoid contact with the water and keep pets away from it,” said Mary Skopec who coordinates the beach monitoring program for the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. Skopec said blue-green algae can release mycrosystins in the water that can make people and pets ill. “We don’t want to scare people, as this is a naturally occurring event. It happens every year in our lakes and rivers,” Skopec said. “We just want people to be aware that if the mycrocystins are present, it can cause problems for people or pets.” The main risk to humans from microcystin is skin irritations and rashes, but if the water is swallowed or airborne droplets are inhaled during swimming, bathing or showering, symptoms could be worse. Those would include headaches, nausea, abdominal pain, seizures, liver injury and respiratory problems. People can take the following precautions to prevent healthrelated problems due to harmful algal blooms: • Don’t swim, water ski or boat in areas where the water is discolored or if there is foam, scum or mats of algae on the water. • If in contact with water that might have a harmful algal bloom, rinse off with fresh water as soon as possible. • Don’t let pets or livestock swim in or drink from areas where water is discolored, of if there is foam, scum or mats of algae on the water. • Don’t let pets (especially dogs) lick the algae off their fur after swimming in scummy water. • Don’t irrigate lawns or golf courses with pond water that looks scummy or has a bad odor. • Don’t drink the water. Boiling the water will not make it safe to drink.
The Buchanan County Conservation Board has materials once again for making spinning composters from 9 AM-noon on Saturday, Sept. 12 at Fontana Nature Center, just off Highway 150 south of Hazleton. There was a lot of demand when this program was offered before. Plan to do the simple assembly of the composter and the harder work of flattening pipe and constructing the compost stand. (If someone has a hydraulic press to flatten portions of 1½-inch aluminum pipe, please let Fontana staff know.) A list of suggested tools to bring will be provided for registered participants. Cost is $40 per composter/stand combo. Pre-registration is required and limited, call 319-636-2617 or fontanapark@iowatelecom.net. For more information about Buchanan County Conservation Board programs and activities, visit www.buchanancountyparks.com.

Though considered primarily a summertime nuisance, mosquitoes are still active in Iowa. The Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) reminds Iowans that West Nile and other mosquito-related diseases continue to be a concern as fall approaches, and remain a threat until the first frost. Precautions to reduce the risk of exposure to these diseases should still be taken. To date, IDPH has received confirmation of two West Nile virus cases and a third case is under investigation. In addition, one case of Jamestown Canyon virus (JCV) has been confirmed. This virus is relatively rare; however, under-reporting and under-diagnosis are likely since diagnostic testing for JCV is not widely available. JCV is a brain infection caused by mosquitoes carrying the virus. The individuals with West Nile virus and JCV are recovering. IDPH Public Health Veterinarian Dr. Ann Garvey said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It remains important to eliminate mosquito breeding areas and use insect repellant when outdoors.â&#x20AC;? Intermittent days of heavy downpours followed by mild weather may mean there is standing water, where mosquitoes breed:
â&#x20AC;˘ Empty water from buckets, cans, pool covers, kiddie pools, pet water dishes and anywhere else water collects. â&#x20AC;˘ Change water in bird baths every three to four days. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also important to repair holes or gaps in screen windows and doors to prevent mosquitoes from getting indoors. Continue to take precautions against mosquito bites when spending time outdoors: â&#x20AC;˘ Use insect repellent with DEET, picaridin, IR3535, or oil of lemon eucalyptus. Always read the repellent label and consult a health care provider if you have questions when using these types of products for children. For example, DEET should not be used on infants less than two months old and oil of lemon eucalyptus should not be used on children under three years old. â&#x20AC;˘ Avoid outdoor activities at dusk and dawn when mosquitoes are most active. â&#x20AC;˘ Wear long-sleeved shirts, pants, shoes, and socks whenever possible outdoors. For more information about West Nile virus, visit http://bit. ly/1iTO2Vc. For more information on Jamestown Canyon virus, visit http://bit.ly/1K9fPhK.
The emerald ash borer (EAB), a highly destructive insect of ash trees, has been confirmed in Dubuque. Twenty-eight of Iowaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s counties have now been confirmed positive. Since its initial discovery in Michigan in 2002, this exotic pest has spread to 25 states, killing tens of millions of trees. In addition to the southern Dubuque detection, a tree in a rural area just outside south Dubuque city limits was also detected. Both sites were declared positive after the collection of EAB larvae. EAB is a small, metallic-green beetle that is about ½-inch long. The larvae chew into the layer of wood under the bark, cutting off the flow of water and nutrients. EAB infested ash trees include thinning or dying branches in the top of a tree, evidence of woodpecker activity, S-shaped feeding galleries under dead or splitting bark, D-shaped exit holes, and water sprouts (along the trunk and main branches). â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iowa now has seven counties bordering the Mississippi River that have turned up positive for EAB,â&#x20AC;? said Mike Kintner, Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship EAB and gypsy moth coordinator. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unfortunate as it is, I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be surprised to see the remaining three counties
declared positive within a year.â&#x20AC;? Since larvae of EAB can unknowingly be transported under the bark of a tree, the Iowa EAB Team strongly cautions Iowans not to transport firewood across county or state lines. The movement of firewood throughout Iowa or to other states poses the greatest threat to quickly spread EAB and other plant pests. A statewide quarantine remains in place, restricting the movement of hardwood firewood, ash logs, wood chips and ash tree nursery stock out of Iowa into non-quarantined areas of other states. At this calendar date, the window for all preventive treatments has closed. If a landowner is interested in protecting a valuable and healthy ash tree within 15 miles of a known infestation, he or she should have landscape and tree service companies bid on work, review the bids this fall/winter, and treat beginning spring 2016 (early April to mid-May). Contact Iowa EAB Team members to have suspicious looking trees checked in counties not currently known to be infested. The State of Iowa will continue to track the movement of EAB on a county-by-county basis. Before a county can be officially recognized as infested, proof of a reproducing population is needed and an EAB must be collected and verified by USDA entomologists. To learn more about EAB and other pests that are threatening Iowaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tree population, visit www.IowaTreePests.com.

New study finds lean pork can be included in DASH eating plan Adults following the health-promoting DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) eating plan to help lower blood pressure can also include nutrient-rich lean pork as the primary source of protein in their diets, according to new research published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Purdue University researchers found that when adults ate lean pork, instead of the typical chicken and fish as their main protein source in the health-promoting DASH diet, they had the same blood pressure benefits regardless of protein source â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with systolic blood pressure decreasing around 7-8 points and diastolic around 4-5 points after six weeks, based on a 24-hour blood pressure monitoring system. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While the traditional DASH diet includes chicken and fish, our research suggests that lean
pork may also be a part of this healthy eating pattern,â&#x20AC;? said study lead author Dr. Wayne W. Campbell, nutrition science professor at Purdue University. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many Americans enjoy red meat, so the recommendation to limit red meat in the typical DASH diet could be a potential barrier to adapting this eating plan.â&#x20AC;? The DASH diet has been recognized by government and health organizations as an eating pattern that can improve health and help lower the risk of chronic diseases. The 2015 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee recently included research showing the DASH Diet may have favorable effects on cholesterol and may help reduce the risk of heart disease, in addition to helping lower blood pressure, which affects nearly 30% of Americans.
