Regional Medical Center to hold groundbreaking ceremony

A groundbreaking celebration for the first phase of the Manchester Regional Medical Center (RMC) expansion project will be held 1 PM July 15. Phase I of the project will feature a new Specialty Clinic and Inpatient Unit and include covered carport, larger gift shop, patient information center, public dining area, larger family lounges/waiting areas, solarium, and outdoor patio. The 40,000+ square foot expansion project is expected to be complete by 2016. The Specialty Clinic will be on Level I of the new addition and house multiple services, streamlined registration, and ease of access in and out of the clinic. The Inpatient Unit will be on Level II of the new addition with rooms nearly doubled in size to better accommodate patients, visitors, staff, and advanced technology.

IDPH offers advice for picnics and cookouts

The Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) reminds Iowans to keep food safety in mind as they grill those hot dogs, brats, and burgers this summer. • Cook all meats thoroughly, especially ground meats. Use meat thermometer to ensure meat center has reached a temperature that will kill organisms that can make people sick. Cook chicken to 165ºF, ground meats like hamburger to 160ºF, and whole meats like steaks or pork chops to 145ºF. If a meat thermometer is not available, make sure meat is cooked until there is no pink visible in the center and the juices run clear. • Marinate foods in the refrigerator – not on counter or outdoors. If planning to use some marinade as a sauce on cooked food, set aside a portion before adding raw meat, poultry, or seafood. Don’t reuse marinade, as this can re-contaminate the food. • Keep cold food cold and hot food hot by transporting them separately in insulated bags or coolers. • Don’t reuse platters or utensils. Instead, have a clean platter and utensils ready at grill-side to serve food. • Have a way to wash hands prior to eating. For example, if picnicking, bring soap and water or hand wipes so that everyone can clean their hands before they eat.

Hungry for more

More than half of Iowa farmland is rented, and the percentage of farmland rented has increased over time due to the changing demographics of farmland owners. Iowa farmland cash rental rates decreased by $10 an acre from 2013 to 2014; northeast Iowa cash rental rates decreased by over 1.4% in 2014. Additionally, farmland values increased by 7.4% in northeast Iowa from 2012 to 2013, but leveled off in the first quarter of 2014. Iowa State University Extension and Outreach in Buchanan County and BankIowa are hosting a farmland leasing meeting at 1:30 PM Tuesday, August 5 to address questions that land owners, tenants, or other interested individuals have about farmland leasing. The meeting will be held at Heartland Acres Events Center, located at 2600 Swan Lake Boulevard in Independence. The meeting will last approximately 2.5 hours. Similar meetings will be held across northeast Iowa during the first three weeks of August. Attendees will gain understanding of current cash rental rate surveys and factors driving next year’s rents such as market trends and input costs. They will learn about types of leases and results of farmland value surveys. Additionally, information on 2012 Census, Farm Bill, CSR2, and Nutrient Reduction Strategy will be presented. A 100-page workbook will be available for a cost of $10 that includes land leasing information such as surveys, sample written lease agreement and termination forms, and many other publications. “Due to changes in commodity markets, cash rent values, and government programs farmland owners and tenants may have more decisions over the next year than in previous years, and this meeting provides information to stay up to date on farmland lease issues,” said ISU Extension and Outreach Farm and Ag Business Management Specialist Kristen Schulte. She will be the presenter at the meeting. There will be no registration fee to attend this program; however, pre-registration is required by calling Buchanan County ISU Extension and Outreach at 319-334-7161.

BCHC to offer pre-diabetes information

Storms create emergencies across Iowa

Because of bad weather throughout June, Governor Branstad has already proclaimed disaster emergencies in 48 counties, including Black Hawk, Buchanan and Fayette. This proclamation allows state resources to be used to respond to and recover from the storms. Black Hawk is also among 25 counties in which the proclamation has activated the Iowa Individual Assistance Program. More counties may be added to this list as damage is assessed. The Individual Assistance Program provides up to $5,000 for households with incomes up to 200% of the federal poverty level. That works out to a maximum annual income of $39,580 for a family of three. Grants are available for home or car repairs, replacement of clothing or food, and for the expense of temporary housing. Applications and instructions are available through the Iowa Department of Human Services at http://dhs. iowa.gov/disaster-assistance-programs. Those affected by storms or flooding in Iowa who have questions, contact the Iowa Concern Hotline at 1-800-447-1985. Many state parks have seen some damage in recent weeks because of strong winds and flooding. According to the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR), staff is clearing downed limbs, cleaning up and making repairs. A few state parks are closed or partially closed. For the latest information, go to www.iowadnr.gov/parks and click on the Closure Information link on the left.

Avocados are gaining popularity in the nutrition world. They are nutrient-dense and very versatile. They can be eaten plain, made into guacamole, or used in soups and salads. The avocado boasts many powerful nutrients. They are well-known for their unsaturated fat qualities, so avocado is often used to replace more saturated fat options such as butter or cheese. Avocados are also cholesterol free, low in sodium, and a good source of vitamin C, vitamin K, fiber, and folate. Try this simple recipe! Guacamole â&#x20AC;˘ 3 avocados â&#x20AC;˘ 2 tomatoes, diced â&#x20AC;˘ 2 Tbsp cilantro, chopped â&#x20AC;˘ 2 Tbsp red onion, diced â&#x20AC;˘ juice of 1/2 a lime â&#x20AC;˘ 1/4 teaspoon salt 1. Cut the avocados in half and remove the pit. 2. Scoop the flesh out and use a fork to mash the avocado. 3. Mix in the remaining ingredients. 4. Serve with favorite vegetables or whole grain chips.

CROP REPORT

Above average precipitation in Iowa limited fieldwork yet again during the week ending July 6, according to the USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service. Statewide there were just 2.6 days suitable for fieldwork, the third week in a row with less than 3.0 days suitable for fieldwork. Weed control and nitrogen side-dressing were behind due to wet conditions and the inability to get equipment through fields. Many producers reported yellowing corn and stress on soybeans due to excessive moisture. Precipitation raised soil moisture levels marginally this week. Topsoil moisture levels rated 0 percent very short, 2 percent short, 61 percent adequate, and 37 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture levels rated 1 percent very short, 7 percent short, 67 percent adequate, and 25 percent surplus. Over one-quarter of the State’s topsoil remained in surplus condition, with the exception of southeast Iowa. There were scattered reports of corn silking across Iowa. Seventy-six percent of the corn crop was reported in good to excellent condition, a decrease of 3 percentage points. Twenty-one percent of the soybean acreage was blooming, 11 days ahead of the previous year but 2 days behind normal. A few farmers reported soybeans setting pods. Decreasing 2 percentage points from the previous week, 73 percent of the soybean crop was rated in good to excellent condition. Ninetyfive percent of the oat crop has headed, 2 percentage points above last year but equal to the five-year average. Thirty-one percent of the oat acreage has turned color, 10 percentage points ahead of the previous year but 15 points behind average. Seventy-three percent of the oat acreage was reported in good to excellent condition, dropping 1 percentage point from last week. Farmers struggled to get their first cutting of alfalfa hay baled, advancing only five percentage points from last week. The first cutting of alfalfa hay was 95 percent complete, falling slightly behind both last year and average. The second cutting of alfalfa was 12 percent complete, two days ahead of last year but almost two weeks behind normal. Sixty-seven percent of all hay was rated in good to excellent condition. Pasture

IOWA WEATHER SUMMARY

By Harry Hillaker, State Climatologist Iowa Department of Agriculture & Land Stewardship Heavy rains fell across Iowa for the third consecutive week, this time focused upon the central one-third of the state and particularly across east central sections of Iowa. Most of the rain fell in two periods with the larger event coming from Sunday (29th) morning into Monday (30th) evening. The second event began over northwest Iowa late on Friday (4th) and continued into Saturday (5th) afternoon over the southeast. High winds and/or large hail were reported from 24 counties on the 29th and from 41 counties on the 30th with every county between Interstate 80 and U.S Highway 20 reporting severe weather on one or both of these dates. The first event brought very heavy rain to east central Iowa with 7.63 inches falling near Center Junction in Jones County. The heaviest rain from the second event fell across west central and southwest Iowa with Red Oak reporting the most rain with 3.90 inches while extreme northeast Iowa missed this storm system. Weekly rain totals varied from 0.15 inches at Estherville and 0.16 inches at Rock Rapids to 7.72 inches near Center Junction and 6.96 inches at Muscatine. The statewide average rainfall was 2.49 inches or more than double the weekly normal of 1.09 inches. Meanwhile, temperatures were slightly above normal to start the reporting week on Sunday (29th) and slightly below normal on Monday (30th). The remainder of the week was unseasonably cool with daytime highs only in the 60s in some areas on Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday. At Lake Rathbun the Wednesday afternoon high of 62 degrees tied for the lowest July daytime high since records began at that location in 1970. Temperature extremes varied from afternoon highs of 89 degrees at Bloomfield and Keokuk on Monday (30th) and also at Sibley on Saturday (5th) while Battle Creek (Ida Co.) and Stanley (Buchanan Co.) reported lows of 45 degrees on Thursday morning. Temperatures for the week as a whole averaged 5.8 degrees below normal.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;LiveWireâ&#x20AC;? Electric is sendmotorcycles ing ripples through the motorcycle industry. Harley-Davidson recently unveiled its new electric motorcycle, a sleek machine with a ďŹ&#x201A;at-black ďŹ nish that can go from zero to 60 miles per hour in under four seconds. Demonstration models were revealed Monday at an event in New York and the company plans to travel across the country with it and allow riders to provide feedback before going into production. The LiveWire has a new sound, too, that separates it from other HarleyDavidsons â&#x20AC;&#x201C; although the engine is silent, the meshing of gears gives it a sound similar to a jet turbine. There are many electric scooters and low-powered bikes on the market that appeal to commuters around the world, but the market for full-size electric motorcycles is small. One company that does sell full-size electric bikes is Zero Motorcycles, which expects to sell 2,400 electric motorcycles in 2014; last year, Harley-Davidson sold more than 260,000 gas-powered bikes. Advantages of the LiveWire include rapid acceleration, better handling and no need to shift gears. The engine is mounted low on the bike, providing a weight advantage for faster turns. One drawback to electric motorcycles is range. Typically batteries must be recharged after about 130 miles. A recharge can take half and hour to an hour. The Federal gas tax Highway Trust Fund is running low on funds and Senators Bob Corker (R-TN) and Chris Murphy (D-CT) have proposed a plan to reinvigorate it by raising the gas tax. According to Reuters.com, the senators would like to increase the gas tax by six cents a year for two years, then linking any future increases to inďŹ&#x201A;ation. It is estimated the increase would raise more than $160 billion over the next 10 years. At the current level of spending, Congress has already had to shift $50 billion from the general fund to the Highway Trust Fund â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which is supposed to be self-sufďŹ cient â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to cover shortfalls. The last time Congress raised the federal gas tax was 21 years ago, when it was raised to 18.4 cents per gallon for gas and 24.4 cents per gallon for diesel.

World Cup versus economy

A recent Gallup study found 55% of Brazilians believe holding the World Cup soccer matches in their country will hurt the economy, while 33% believe it will help. It is a bad time to ďŹ nd a job, according to half the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s adults. Although government ofďŹ cials state a million jobs were added to the economy because of the event, many doubt they will become permanent jobs. An estimated $11.3 billion was spent on infrastructure to prepare for 64 matches played in new or renovated stadiums in 12 cities. Pessimism is also fueled by inďŹ&#x201A;ation created by the most expensive World Cup in history. Thirty-one countries have competed in the event, which began June 12. The ďŹ nal match of the World Cup is scheduled for July 13.

Drones

Federal regulators are objecting to use of drones in most commercial uses, including real estate. Realtors have turned to drones as a way to obtain high quality aerial photographs and videos, and close-ups of building elevations, to advertise properties. Some real estate agents also include footage of a homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s neighborhood or show progress on development projects. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is working to develop rules for drones that weigh less than 55 pounds and ďŹ&#x201A;y no more than 400 feet above the ground. Although a judge struck down the FFA ban on drone use for commercial purposes, the FAA has appealed the ruling. In the meantime, real estate agents could face a $10,000 ďŹ ne.

Local 4-Hâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ers prepare beef projects for fair

Council approves hiring City Manager

While some teenagers enjoy a relaxed summer vacation, Buchanan County 4-Hâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ers Kayla and Phillip Dudley (pictured) of rural Winthrop are busy getting their beef projects ready for next weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fair. Kayla, who will start seventh grade at East Buchanan in the fall, will show a Simmental heifer. Phillip, a sophomore, will show two Hereford heifers. In the last year, both have won state breed association awards for their efforts. The process begins with choosing a calf. Kayla prefers to buy her calf from the same producer each year. However, according to their dad Rob, Phillip scours ads and has gone as far as Milwaukee to look at calves. Once weanling calves are brought home, halter training begins. There are various techniques; however, the Dudleys favor using a donkey for the ďŹ rst stage. The donkey is ďŹ tted with a collar and a rope is fastened between it and the calfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s training halter. While the two animals are tied together, the calf learns that when the donkey wants to go, it must follow. When the donkey stops, it must stop. The calf quickly learns there is no point ďŹ ghting the lead rope! Much of what the kids know about showing

was learned by asking questions and experience. Phillip said one thing they learned was how important it is to get the animals used to the noise at fair. Going from a quiet barn at home to a noisy fairground can spook animals so they play loud music when working with the cattle to desensitize them. Also, wood chips are purchased so the animals become accustomed to the same footing they experience during the fair. Story continues on page 5.

Check out the changes at the Buchanan County Fairgrounds!

By Julie Althaus, Fair Board If one has taken a drive through the fairgrounds recently, there are changes taking place and we are very proud of those changes. The new campgrounds are almost complete, with 28 spots with full hook-ups with satellite TV and internet. The goal is to have it completed by fair. The charge will be $25 per night, $150 per week, or $500 a month. The fair board is looking for a campground host. Anyone interested should contact any fair board member. Ground asphalt has been put down to save on gravel and dust control and prevent potholes. A new front ticket office building is going in the grandstand area to improve the entrance area and help prevent long lines at big events and be more handicap accessible. Board members are redoing the front entrance gate, and thanks to the Power of Pie ladies, a new white fence is added to the front entrance. Fair board members plan to start using the front entrance as it was used years ago. Fencing is being replaced by the Garden Gate Building, Dairy and Beef barn. Drop down electrical outlets have been installed in the sheep barn, so it will be more user friendly for exhibitors. New doors have been put on the building, also, since it is used for winter storage for campers. Everyone should check out the Open Air Pavilion, as a nice sound system has been installed, so everyone can hear clearly and it will be very handy for any bookings in that area. There is a new look to the Thom Building, too! Come to the fair and check it out. It is so exciting to see so many people work so hard to improve the fairgrounds! The Fair Board has been able to do this with grants, fundraisers, and donations. Thank You Goes Out to All! Buchanan County Fair Association would like to thank everyone that helps make Buchanan County Fair a success, 4-Hers, FFA members, parents, people donating time to help, businesses that help to make our improvements cost effective, sponsors, city employees, light plant employees, people who attend our fundraisers and the fair, and Independence Chamber members. Big thank you goes out to all of our board members and their families that sacrifice their time to make things work. Without all of these puzzle pieces, there would be no fair, no fundraisers, and no events. “Thank You” goes out to everyone for their continued support. The Buchanan County Fair Association takes pride in the work they do and we 24 HOUR TOWING SERVICE Member: (Light or Heavy Duty Towing & Recovery) want to take the time to TRI Also Flatbed Towing TRAA thank all of those that help JOSEPH R.

A note from Buchanan County Fair Queen ...

July 10, 2014 Page 9 A

Suzanne Flexsenhar

This last year has been a great experience for me as the Buchanan County Fair Queen. After being in 4-H for 10 years, I was not ready to give up being a part of the county fair. Being crowned the 2013 Fair Queen gave me a whole new opportunity to participate in the fair. My reign started on July 18, 2013 when I was crowned by the 2012 Fair Queen Rachel Kleitsch. With the Fair Princess Sydney Cindrich and Miss Congeniality Lucretia Mangrich we were swept off to hand out trophies at the demo derby. The next several days were spent handing out ribbons and trophies to the dedicated and hard working 4-H members who were showing their dairy and beef cattle and the participates in overall showmanship.

My next adventure was the Iowa State Fair Queen Competition in early August. I spent five days in Des Moines with 101 amazing other fair royalty. I had the opportunity to experience the Iowa State Fair in a new light. I was able to meet the members of the Iowa State Fair Board and many others who dedicate their time to make our state fair one of the best. While I spent the week at the state fair I had the opportunity to ride in the Iowa State Fair Parade, tour the Iowa Hall of Pride, participate in Kidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Against Hunger, and make tie blankets for the Iowa Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital. This summer, I am participating in many celebrations by riding in the town parades. I have attended some the Saturday night races at the Independence Motor

Speedway. As we all know, the Buchanan County Fair is fast approaching and I will end my reign by crowning the 2014 Buchanan County Fair Queen on July 17. Before I do that I will be taking part in the many festivities that await us at the fair. So I hope to see many new and familiar faces at the Buchanan County Fair! I would like to thank my parents, Dave and Mary Beth Flexsenhar, for always believing in me and being my support whenever I take on a new adventure. I would also like to thank the Buchanan County Fair Board for allowing me to promote the fair and Julie Althaus for driving me in all the parades. Lastly, I would like to wish the 2014 Queen Candidates good luck! Enjoy the 2014 Fair Queen Coronation Thursday at 5 PM in Black Pavilion

Q & A: Ask the Fair Board

Question: What is a fair without a Ferris Wheel? Answer: Three years ago, we had one of the best carnivals that one could get, but we had $8,000 in ticket sales, and 13 people rode the ferris wheel in the four days that the carnival was there. There was a guarantee of $30,000 … obviously the math does not work. We are working on

getting another carnival, but it takes time to rebuild. The good carnivals are becoming extinct, due to all the amusement parks that are out there (unfortunately.) Question: Does it cost to get in the fair? Answer: It is $2.00 for parking per day or $5.00 for a weekly pass. This year, we will be charging at the front gate $2.00 per person or $5.00 for a weekly pass. Question: Are you having rides this year? Answer: We are having inflatables this year. We know that not everyone likes them, but the kids love them and they are used more than the rides. They are clean, and the people are super great to work with. Question: Are you going to have entertainment this year? Answer: Yes! Country music sensation Chris Cagle performs on Saturday night, July 19. Get tickets at www.midwesttix.com or purchase them a few days before the concert (at a higher price.) Question: Do you need volunteers? Answer: Yes, we do, and would appreciate the help! Contact us at Info@ buchanancountyfair.org Question: How many Fair board members are there? Answer: There are 14 members Question: As a Fair board member, do you get paid? Answer: It is all volunteer work, and no one gets paid. We “get paid” by getting out of debt, bringing smiles to people’s faces. Everyone is working hard to make the Buchanan County Fair a success!

Chris Cagle to headline at Buchanan County Fair Country music artist Chris Cagle will perform in concert on Saturday, July 19 at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fair. According to Fair Board spokesperson Julie Althaus, â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is BIG news for the fair this year!â&#x20AC;? Cagleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s self-proclaimed version of â&#x20AC;&#x153;redneck rock â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;n roll,â&#x20AC;? has been firing people up for over a decade since his first number-one hit, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I Breathe In, I Breathe Out.â&#x20AC;? Despite two gold albums, two number-one albums and 12 charted songs, Cagle chose to retreat from the spotlight. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was tired of who I was in this business,â&#x20AC;? said Cagle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had become somebody who I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be.â&#x20AC;? He spent the next couple years staking his claim on home life and embracing a lifelong dream: building his familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Big Horse Ranch, â&#x20AC;?with his own two hands, nail by nail, now an impressive Oklahoma homestead. Rejuvenated, Cagle is back with all the energy of a newcomer and the wisdom of a veteran. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m at a place in my life where I think about everyone Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m working with, especially the fans. I thank God that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in a place in my heart where I am grateful and aware. I am very, very, very lucky.â&#x20AC;?

Enjoy the Fascinating Wild World of Animals The Wild World of Animals show is one of the premier grounds act in the entertainment industry. Its unique blend of animal diversity and environmental messages coupled with originally scripted non-stop laughter (especially an opinionated pig), makes for an enjoyable time for the whole family. Have you ever held a 13-FOOT, 100-POUND PYTHON, starred into the eyes of BRUTUS, or unknowingly worn a safari vest filled with CREEPY CRITTERS? Volunteers get to do that and much more! The Wild World of Animals show is fast-paced and full of energy! The animals in the show range from arthropods, amphibians, reptiles, birds and finally mammals. The audience learns interesting animal facts, laughs at their antics and witnesses their amazing natural abilities. Do not blink or you may miss an animal running, slithering, jumping or flying across the stage!

Meet the High Flying Pages

Through the years, there have been many great flying trapeze performers and acts, far too numerous to mention. Today, however, a name that stands out among circus fans, historians, and youth circus performers alike is the fabulous â&#x20AC;&#x153;Flying Pagesâ&#x20AC;?! Like many other circus acts, the Flying Pages are a family act, with two additional young aerialists. The Flying Pages are a 3rd and 4th generation circus family started by Jose and Sabina Pages who came to America from Cuba in the early 1960s as flying trapeze performers. This flying trapeze act is indeed a circus favorite. It is one of the few circus acts that was invented in the United States, and is performed in circuses worldwide. A flying trapeze act is basically a 3-point aerial acrobatic routine. The end pedestal board is the starting point, the flyer swings off on a trapeze, releases in midair, performing an aerial maneuver such as a somersault or twisting layout, is caught by the catcher, who is swinging on yet another trapeze. Upon completion, the flyer returns back to the fly bar, and lands back on the pedestal board. Perfect timing is of the utmost importance to make this sequence of events work. Dangling in the air at heights of 33 feet is all in a dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work for Willy Pages and his family. Pages and his wife, Jill, have been traveling and performing with their own trapeze act, the High Flying Pages, since 1992. The Pagesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; children, Anthony and Mercedes, were born into the trapeze world and have been participating in the act from a young age.

By Christine Dale, Assistant Editor

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 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 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 eagleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 ďŹ&#x201A;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.
