Amana Arts Guild Dinner Spring Success
For the first time ever, the Amana Arts Guild

event it proved to be.
Eighty-one lucky diners enjoyed this delicious
menu as follows: “Karbonade” pork loin, friend
potatoes, creamed asparagus, celery salad, red
cabbage, pickled beets and our beloved bunny
cookies, in honor of Easter with a special and
very entertaining spring themed presentation by
Peter Hoehnle.
As AAG director Deb Hawkes said, “This
wouldn’t have been possible without the help
and hard work of our cooks, Gloria Alexander,
Betty Martens, Carol Hopp, Rozella Vogt and
Lisa Kokesh, and our servers, Marsha Reihman,
Hannah Sandersfeld, Amanda and Carter Fox,
Michelle Schanz, Marci Schwartz, Heather Hess,
Berend Sandersfeld and Julia Bolte.” And thanks
to to Bryce Kokesh, Julana Dicket and Margo
Jorosz who provided behind the scenes support.

Your vote is respectfully requested.
Dear Amana Society Stockholders,
Thank you for your previous support in electing me to serve on the Amana Society
board of directors. I am once again respectfully asking for your support in this year’s
election. My commitment to you continues to be that of working with my fellow directors and management towards the continuity and profitable sustainability of the Amana
Society. We have been entrusted with an abundance of resources including our farm
land, our “Amana” brand, our beautiful setting, a rich history, and a dedicated group of
employees. As a businessman, I know how fast things are changing today, and the
challenge with the Amana Society is to balance retaining what is best of our past with
the need to constantly adapt. I believe I can continue to add value in that area and others by contributing my experience and expertise as a businessman. At the same time,
my Amana upbringing and continuing connections to the Amana Colonies allow me to
appreciate the special attributes of the company and the community.
I ask for your support and your vote in this election. Thank you.
Sincerely,

Eggs and Poultry Safe to Eat,
ISU Food Safety Specialist Stresses
Avian influenza does not impact the foods that
consumers eat, says an Iowa State University food
safety expert.
“Consumers should feel safe to eat properly
cooked and prepared meat and eggs from poultry,”
said Angela Shaw, assistant professor in food science and human nutrition and extension specialist
in food safety.
Last week avian influenza was reported for the
first time in Iowa at a turkey barn in Buena Vista
County. This week, the disease was discovered a
commercial chicken flock in Osceola County.
“Avian influenza is not a foodborne pathogen,” said
Shaw. “It cannot be contracted from eating properly
cooked poultry meat and eggs.”
The disease is caused by an influenza virus that
can infect poultry, such as chickens, turkeys, domestic ducks and geese, and is carried by migratory birds such as ducks, geese and shorebirds. Humans can be infected with the virus, but most cases
involve very close direct contact with sick birds.
Shaw said the Food and Drug Administration
maintains that properly cooked poultry and eggs
pose no threat. She advised that consumers always
should follow the FDA’s procedures for safe handling and cooking of poultry products:
•Wash hands with warm water and soap for at
least 20 seconds before and after handling raw
poultry and eggs.
•Clean cutting boards and other utensils with
soap and hot water to keep raw poultry or eggs from
contaminating other foods.
•Cutting boards may be sanitized by using a solution of 1 tablespoon chlorine bleach and 1 gallon of
water.
•Cook poultry to an internal temperature of at
least 170°F. Consumers can cook poultry to a higher temperature for personal preference.
•Cook eggs until the yolks and whites are firm.
Casseroles and other dishes containing eggs
should be cooked to 170°F.
•Use pasteurized eggs or egg products for recipes that are served using raw or undercooked eggs.
Some examples of these kinds of dishes are Caesar salad dressing and homemade ice cream. Commercial mayonnaise, dressing and sauces contain
pasteurized eggs that are safe to eat. Pasteurized
eggs and egg products are available from a growing
number of retailers and are clearly labeled.
The Egg Industry Center at Iowa State University
has additional information for consumers at: http://
www.ans.iastate.edu/EIC/Templates/AvianInfluenzaConsumers.dwt
The ISU College of Veterinary Medicine has avian
influenza information, including materials to protect
backyard flocks, at: http://vetmed.iastate.edu/aivbackground-and-resources
