Happy January 2016! A new year, and for many a
new beginning in some form or another. Many of
you may have made resolutions to eat healthier,
exercise more, start a new habit or stop a bad
one. I wish you all success. My resolution is to
make each day a more productive one. I tend to put things off
and am always behind. We shall see how I do!
January 7 is Old Rock Day. I am always looking for pretty rocks or
shells. If the 7th isn’t a nice outdoor day, try another, but do go out
into the quiet and look for pretty rocks. The peace and beauty
around you is quite lifting. January 10 is Houseplant Appreciation
Day. Now that the holiday decorations are put away, focus
on your houseplants. If you don’t have any, consider starting a
couple. Houseplants add warmth to a home and make you feel
good having something to nurture until we can all get outside
and get into our flower beds. Check out the winter gardening ad.
They have some great classes coming up in March to help get us
ready for spring. January 21 is Squirrel Appreciation Day. When
the outside view is rather boring, watching the squirrels run up and
down trees chasing one another is rather entertaining.
If you’re itching to get out of the house, check out our
entertainment guide. There is something for all ages all the time.
Enjoy. Our home feature this month is from Donohoe Custom
Homes. This five bedroom, three baths home has extras I would
not have thought about. The study nook off the kitchen is a great
idea, so mom or dad can cook and answer questions about
homework at the same time. This looks like a great family home
no matter the size of the family.
Wanting a new art piece or to refresh the branding on your
business? See the article on Russ Falge: Cedar Rapids Hybrid
Artist or go visit his studio in the Cherry building. You won’t be
disappointed. Nina has a couple of great recipes to keep us
warm on a cold winter night and if you don’t want to cook check
out our corridor restaurants.
Various times some of our advertisers wonder if anyone is seeing
their ads. I for one don’t go into a new place and tell them I saw
you in City Revealed. For this reason, I would like to make a Wall of
Appreciation. So for the next few months if you have visited a past
of present advertiser and had a good experience, please e-mail
us at [email protected] or [email protected] .
We will then put them on our appreciation wall in the upcoming
months.
There is a lot of information within these pages. I hope you enjoy
the read and enjoy this new year of 2016.
God Bless.

Classic styling meets high-tech amenities in a new home
just north of Cedar Rapids by Donohoe Custom Homes.
Up-and-coming builder, Bradley Donohoe, has been in
the construction world for 15 years and went the extra
mile on the home at 2925 Diamondhead Rd., Hiawatha,
in the Pines at Turtle Creek subdivision.
The quiet community offers many eco-friendly features,
a spacious 1-acre park and full basketball court for
recreation and gatherings, in a scenic location edged
by stately pine trees.
Donohoe’s five bedroom, three bath ranch home offers
an equally stately presence on Diamondhead Road,
with a smoky gray exterior providing a contrast to the
lighter-colored full bed quarry stone at the entrance.
The three-stall garage uses a Liftmaster garage door
opener that operates from a smart phone, one of the
many advanced amenities in the home.
“It’s a reflection of myself,” Donohoe said of the work
and special features he’s put into the home, which
includes full overlay cabinets, oversized mirrors in the
bathrooms and ceiling fans in all main-level bedrooms.
With more than 3,000-square-feet of finished space, the
house fittingly captures Donohoe’s energetic personality.
His girlfriend, who has a degree in interior design, assists
with suggestions on colors and other features.
Handscraped hardwood flooring in a unique maple
chocolate provides a welcoming entrance upon
entering the home, with a distressed texture and
rustic appeal. The 11-foot-high coffered ceiling adds
dimension, character and a breath-taking first impression
in the great room with its grid of bold beams.
Gray tones in the granite countertops and tile backsplash,
along with a remarkable bubble light fixture, provide
a modern feel in the kitchen. Pendant lights over the
kitchen island are controlled using a countertop air
switch, and both kitchen and bathroom fixtures are
from the Delta Addison Collection, adding to the classic
ambiance of the home, while USB ports on each side of
the kitchen island provide convenient connections.
The kitchen cabinets feature soft-close dovetail drawers
and all-wood construction, while the pantry light is
eco-friendly, by turning on when the door is open and
off when it’s closed; particularly convenient when
someone’s hands are full.
Donohoe said many of the features are unique, and
he’s happy to provide something a bit different
to capture a niche in the home buyer’s market.
“I’m going the extra mile in a lot of places,” he said.
The great room’s 40-inch fireplace has a custom
mantle and full bed Aux Vases quarry stone
from St. Louis, echoing the home’s exterior
stone. Large windows and a 9-foot sliding-glass
door let in ample natural light, with a composite
deck and patio just outside. The spacious onethird acre lot overlooks green space in Pines at
Turtle Creek, for a relaxing getaway.
Donohoe tucked the home’s staircase behind
the kitchen, leading to two sizable bedrooms
on the lower level, the third bathroom, and a
kitchenette with a sink and beverage cooler
and granite countertop colors that carry over
from the kitchen.
Plenty of space is available in the carpeted
room for an entertainment center, pool table
or ping-pong table, while unfinished space
provides ample room for storage of holiday
decorations and more.
Appliances, with Energy Star ratings, along with
the home’s insulation, energy-efficient water
heater and furnace and other features add up
to a very energy-efficient home.
Donohoe included USB ports on either side of
the bed’s location in the master bedroom, as
well as in a study nook off of the kitchen, and five
central vacuum ports are located throughout
the house.
The master bathroom features a glass shower
with fixtures from the Delta Addison Collection,
while a highlight of the master bedroom is an
oversized transom window that offers another
example of Donohoe’s penchant for natural
light.
Noting the one-year warranty on the home,
Donohoe promises to go beyond, if the need
arises, as a commitment to his clients.
In addition to dedication to customers, Donohoe
Custom Homes is recognized for attention to
detail, quality results, clear communication
and on-track progress. The company’s core
values of integrity, honesty, respect, quality and
responsibility are carried through each step of
the building process.
Donohoe Custom Homes is guided by these
philosophies and makes a point of building homes
that will last generations, building responsibly in
a way that supports the neighborhood and the
planet.

per person, while a meal prepared at home costs
only $4 per person.
DeVore also notes that it’s important to “be judicious
about paying loans on time to avoid penalties and
borrow money only when absolutely necessary for
more expensive items like a home mortgage or a
vehicle.” She cautions not to borrow money, and pay
the resulting interest rates, for things like vacations or
other optional purchases.
By Andrea Thomson Viner
If you’re resolving to improve your finances in 2016,
the first thing you need to do is set up a budget. Lynne
DeVore, Chief Operating Officer at the Millhiser Smith
Agency in Cedar Rapids, recommends the following
steps to create a budget. First, you need to chart your
sources of expected income and expenses. These
include:
Main source(s) of income
Possible atypical or inconsistent sources of income
(any side income earned from a small business or
hobby, inheritances, etc.)
Consistent expenses, such as housing, loan payments
for vehicles, school loans, utilities, cell phones, food,
clothing, insurance, etc.
Expenses that tend to come up on a periodic basis
that you might want to budget for (Christmas gifts,
vacations, etc.)
Emergency expenses for when the unexpected
happens (loss of job, medical expenses, car repairs,
etc.)
Savings/retirement
Next, DeVore says you should “calculate your
approximate expenses vs. income stream per month.”
If there’s not money left over to compensate for
emergencies or to put money in savings/retirement
accounts, then you should make changes to the
income stream or expenses. Some questions to ask
yourself when grappling with this issue include: Is this
expense a necessity? Can I lower the expense or cut
it out entirely?
If you need to lower your expenses, DeVore
suggests spending less on food. She says, “To save
money, prepare meals at home as much as possible
and leave dining out to a minimum for special
circumstances.” Trent Hamm, author of The Simple
Dollar and 365 Ways to Live Cheap, agrees. He says
that in the U.S., the average meal out costs $12.75
Once you’ve set up a budget and worked out an
appropriate balance between income stream and
expenses, you can consider where it’s best to invest
money, especially for retirement. “If you have a 401k
plan offered through your employer,” says DeVore, “take
advantage of that to set up regular contributions to a
retirement fund.” If you don’t have a retirement fund set
up through an employer, a financial advisor can provide
reliable investment advice and help you create a fund.
If you need to improve your credit score or your
financial outlook in general, DeVore recommends
paying off loans with the highest interest rates first.
However, she says that you could also pay off any fairly
small loans entirely, then focus on paying more toward
the loan with the highest interest rate. For larger loans,
try to pay more than the minimum monthly payment
so you’re putting more money toward the principle
of the loan. Consider opportunities to refinance loans
when lower interest rates become available.
If you’re finding it difficult to save for retirement
because other needs seem more pressing, or
retirement seems so far off, DeVore suggests, “Start
small, with an amount you know will be relatively
painless.” She also recommends an automatic direct
deposit to a savings or retirement account so you
don’t have to make that decision every time you get
a paycheck. Then try to increase the amount that you
deposit in the savings account. Ask yourself what you
could do without to increase your savings. “You might
find that you can cut out a couple little indulgences
each week that can make a big difference in your
ability to save for your future,” says DeVore.
Since tackling a budget and financial planning
on your own make seem daunting, DeVore says,
“Financial advisors are a great resource to help you
determine whether you are on track or need to make
adjustments. Take advantage of their expertise and
have a financial review regularly to help give you
peace of mind.”

A few years ago I was privileged to attend a week
long Stephen Covey seminar on “The Seven Habits
of Highly Effective People.” It was a great learning
and teambuilding experience for all who made
the trip. The good news is that one doesn’t have
to attend a Covey seminar to reap the benefits of
his life management philosophy. In his book “The 7
Habits of Highly Effective People,” he shares wisdom
about living life on purpose.
One of the principles he emphasizes is: “The key
is not to prioritize what’s on your schedule, but to
schedule your priorities.”
Most everyone has a long list of things that have to
get done. In making sure those are taken care of,
we need to remember the things that really need to
get done. Does the schedule determine the priorities
or do the priorities determine the schedule? Are the
most important duties in life getting done? Time with
our families? Time with our friends? Time with God?
Time tending to our own, spiritual, physical, mental
and emotional health? When are those “getting
done?”
There is a story in the bible about Jesus visiting the
home of his friends Mary and Martha. Martha
was a productive person. She liked “getting things
done.” While Jesus was there, she was busy taking
care of business around the house. There were
things to organize, a meal to cook, a table to set.
As an added bonus, while she was getting these
things done, she talked to herself loud enough that
people could hear her disgust with the fact they
weren’t helping her. Unlike Martha, Mary decided
that priority one that day was to sit at the feet of
Jesus and listen to him teach.
In the midst of Martha’s schedule and irritation
toward others, Jesus said to her: “You are worried
and upset about many things, but only one thing is
needed. Mary has chosen what is better and it will
not be taken away from her.” (Luke 10:41-42)
Everyone has things that have to be done. We can’t
push them back on the schedule forever. They plain
and simply have to get done. Everyone also has
things that need to be done.
Today, get to what needs to be done before getting
to what has to be done. First do what matters most.
The result? It will never be taken away from you.

Pickups have become a mainstay in the world of classic hot rod vehicles
and one of the most sought-after styles were the Advance-Design
Chevrolets that were built from 1947 to March of 1955. Chevy was number
one in truck sales during that era. The successor to that series was tabbed
the Task Force Series, which ran from 1955 to 1959. At the dealerships, it
was called the “Blue Chip Series.” All trucks of a “series” were basically
the same vehicle with minor options and add-ons offered from year to
year. For example, in 1955 one could order the 12-volt electrical system,
the new 265cu.in. V8 and get the pickup bed in six, seven or eight-foot
lengths. The wrap-around windshield and rear window were offered on
Deluxe cabs, that year – a truck industry first - as well as power steering
and brakes.
In 1958, the “fleetside” bed was first introduced, along with a redesigned
front end that featured dual headlights. It was the first year for factory
a/c in a truck, too. The light-duty trucks were called “Apaches:” mediumduty trucks were “Vikings:” heavy-duty ones were tabbed “Spartans.”
The Apache was an immediate hit, with its tall cab that provided scenic
views, and low-slung bed. This styling is what caught the eye of Harold
and Barb Clarke, of Marion, particularly the “step-side” bed. It also was a
connection to their past, seeing many of them around town in their early
days.
This particular Apache originally came from Arkansas, but ended up in
Risco, Missouri, just across the border. After locating it via the internet,
they actually made two trips to Risco. The first time they developed cold
feet, thinking maybe it was too much for a toy that they were just going to
cruise with to the local DQ or nearby Tastee-Freez. After reconsideration,
they picked it up in May of 2015. Since then, they needed more excuses to
get the deep red beauty on the road, so they took a shot at entering it in
a show at the Cedar County Fair in Tipton, and were shocked when they
received their first plaque. Their second award came shortly thereafter
on August 1st at the ADM Sweet Rides show, and in September, they
picked up their third piece of hardware at the Swisher
Men’s Club show. Area car shows are now part of their
regular schedule.
The drivetrain for the ‘58 consists of a 350 V8,
teamed with a 350 TH automatic and a rearend
from a ‘94 S10 Blazer. It also sports power windows,
power steering, front disc brakes, a new 4-core
radiator, Dolphin gauges, dual exhaust, new carpet
and headliner and Vintage a/c. Harold got some
help from Barb’s brother-in-law, Lewie Brimeyer of
Dubuque, when upgrading to a better alternator,
along with a new Edelbrock intake and carburetor.
Although it looks like everything is in order on the
Apache, both Harold and Barb realize that “they’re
never really done” and new items and upgrades
are inevitable. Even the original deep Sherwood
Green paint was changed by the previous owner to
the gorgeous Suzuki Salsa Red that seems to be so
fitting.
The Clarkes story is a common one. Boy (and/or girl)
meets vehicle, attracted to its lines and styling. An
infatuation develops and quickly grows into a fullblown love affair, complete with upgrades and
improvements that personalize and cement the
relationship. The development of this bond brings
them in contact with others that have gone through
the same transformation. That’s the beauty of this
hobby. In the end, it’s the people involved that are
the important connection. After a mere seven months,
Harold and Barb are making this discovery.

Caregiver stress:
Tips for Taking Care of Yourself
With an aging population more care-giving is
being provided by people who aren’t healthcare
professionals. Being there for your loved ones when
they need you is important. But being a caregiver
can be a full-time job. Without realizing it, caregivers
can suffer emotional and physical strain. They are also
more likely to experience symptoms of depression or
anxiety.
Individuals who experience caregiver stress are
putting their own health at risk. Many fall into the trap of
believing that they have to do everything themselves.
Don’t make that mistake. Take advantage of the
resources and tools available to help you. Remember,
if you don’t take care of yourself you won’t be able
to care for anyone else.
Watch for these signs of caregiver stress:
•Feeling exhausted all the time, overwhelmed and
irritable.
•Gaining or losing a lot of weight due to lack of
nutrition or stress eating.
•Losing interest in activities you used to enjoy.
How to deal with the stress:
•Accept help. Be prepared with a list of ways that
others can help you. For instance, allow someone to
pick up groceries, sit with your loved one or to cook
for you twice a week.
•Focus on what you are able to provide. Don’t give
in to guilt. Feeling guilty is normal, but understand that
no one can do everything all the time. Your house
does not have to be spotless and the dishes will be
there tomorrow.
•Join a support group. A support group can be a
great source for encouragement and advice. It can
also be a good place to make new friends.
•Utilize Respite Care. It may be hard to leave your
loved one in someone else’s care, but taking a break
is one of the best things you can do for yourself and
the person you’re caring for. Most communities
have some type of respite care available, such
as: Milestones Adult Day Center, local Memory
Care Communities like Meadowview, Home Care
Companies, Nursing facilities.
Rather than struggling, acknowledge your needs.
Take advantage of local
resources for caregivers so that
you can provide for your loved
one but also stay healthy and
have quality of life yourself.

Winter can frustrate the most motivated
exerciser. But keeping up your
exercise routine in cold weather can
be rewarding. Exercise bolsters your
immune system and increases your
energy. Studies show that moderate
exercisers get 20 to 30 percent fewer
colds than those who do not exercise.
Outdoor exercise is also a sure cure for
cabin fever and the winter blues.
There are multiple exercise options
to choose from. Here are some
suggestions if you would like to take
the “indoor route.”
• Walk in a Mall. If you need motivation to
get yourself to the mall join a walking group.
• Join a health club or hospital “Keep
Fit Club.” This will allow you a variety of
activities to choose from every week.
•Create a home gym. This doesn’t have to be expensive.
You can easily setup a great workout routine with just a
set of dumbbells, an exercise ball and jump rope.
• If you have stairs where you live or close by, spend as
little as 20 minutes at a time climbing up and down the
stairs for a very intense and efficient workout.
•Find a local indoor pool you can use. Try swimming,
water aerobics or even just walking or running laps in
the water.
•Usually local libraries offer exercise videos you can
check out for free. Pickup a new one to try out, every
time you return the previous video.
And then there is the great outdoors!
•Take a brisk walk or jog in the cool air.
•Shoveling snow is a great total body workout.
•Slope skiing, cross country skiing and snowboarding are
great exercises to try. Consult an instructor beforehand.
•Go Ice Skating. This is a great workout for your legs. If
temperatures do not allow you to skate outside, find a
local skating rink. Instructors can usually lend a hand.
•Build a snowman and make some angels. This is fun for
the whole family.
Before you begin.
•Always check with your doctor.
Experts say that almost everyone can
exercise safely in the cold, including
people with heart and asthma
conditions.
•Protect your extremities. When it’s
cold, blood is shunted to your body’s
core, leaving your hands and feet
vulnerable to frostbite. Try wearing
a thin pair of gloves, under a pair of
heavier gloves or mittens lined with
fleece or wool. You may want to
buy exercise shoes a half-size larger
than usual to allow for thick thermal
socks or an extra pair of regular
socks. And don’t forget the hat or
headband and facemask; 30 to 40
% of your body heat is lost through
your head.
•Layer it on! One of the biggest
mistakes cold-weather exercisers make is dressing too
warmly. Exercise generates a considerable amount
of heat. Enough to make you feel like it’s 30 degrees
warmer than it really is. Dress in layers that you can
remove as soon as you start to sweat and then put
them back on as soon as needed.
•Drink plenty of fluids. Drink water or sports drinks before,
during, and after your workout, even if you’re not thirsty.
•Pay attention to wind chill. The wind can penetrate
your clothes and remove the insulating layer of warm
air that surrounds your body. Know the wind chill factor
and adjust your activity accordingly.
•Know the signs of frostbite. Frostbite is most common
on your face, fingers and toes. Early warming signs
include numbness, paleness, and loss of feeling and
a stinging sensation. If you feel any of these symptoms
get out of the cold immediately and slowly warm the
affected area without rubbing. If numbness continues,
seek emergency care.
You can fully enjoy your winter exercise by
changing your options with the weather. Doing
something different makes the challenge a lot
more interesting!

Start the New Year with a goal for becoming healthier
and fit. How do we do this, you say? By the choices we
make every single day! The first choice/decision should
be to eat right and exercise. This is something we’ve
heard so often that it doesn’t seem to mean anything
to anyone anymore. As a new year begins, we need
to choose our foods more carefully than ever. Many
of us resolve to “start over,” eat healthy, or take off a
few unwanted pounds. This year, make a New Year’s
resolution to set aside more time to cook healthful meals
for your family, using healthier ingredients.
As a nutritionist, I have found that most people know
that they should eat leaner meats (beef and pork),
more fish, seafood, chicken and turkey. Most people
also know that they should eat more vegetables every
day. In 2016, choose to eat the less starchy and lowcarbohydrate vegetables like spinach, green beans,
celery, sugar snap peas, squash, tomatoes, lettuce, bell
peppers, etc. Limit the amount of potatoes, corn and
peas that you include in your meals. Also, try to limit the
amount of rice, bread and pasta that you eat. Whole
grains breads and cereals are healthier choices, but
one should really limit the number of servings they eat
each day. Beware of large “servings.” Some bagels
are so large may be considered to be 2 to 3 servings,
from a nutritional point of view.
Another surprise for many people is that we need to be
careful to not over-indulge on fruit. Most of us love fruit,
but fruit can come with a fair amount of calories, etc.
too. While it’s convenient to eat a whole piece of fruit,
some fruits are so large that they are actually considered
two servings. Why not at least attempt to eat only ½ of a
banana, apple, orange or pear at a time?
And, not to be the bearer of bad news, but as you
already know, we also need to limit all the foods and
beverages that are “empty calorie” foods, like soft
drinks, alcohol and most desserts (cookies, cakes, pies,
etc.). These foods and drinks supply lots of calories, but
very little nutritional value.
In addition to wanting to eat healthier foods, we also
want to eat foods that are easy and quick to prepare.
These new recipes pass the test with flying colors. These
recipes are also low in calories and carbohydrates, but
high on flavor.
As a culinary professional, I suggest that you can
minimize your time in the kitchen by purchasing
canned juice, broth, canned diced tomatoes, and
frozen vegetables to simplify preparations when
possible. Serve one of these soups each time you want
to have a satisfying meal that is rich in nutritional value
but without the extra, unwanted calories.
Finally, get up and get active! If you need a bit of help
to motivate yourselves, one of the best investments is
to get a tracking device that will help you keep track
of your activity and count your steps (and track lots of
other things, too). I personally wear a Fitbit tracker on
my wrist. The basic goal for most people is to walk at
least 10,000 steps each day. “Getting credit” for the
steps I’ve taken in a day (if only for my satisfaction) is
very motivating for me and makes me happy to walk
and be more active. Why not join me in “taking steps”
to get healthier and fit in 2016.

medication
that could make your pet
more comfortable.
By Andrea Thomson Viner
When winter weather approaches, we dig out our
scarves and boots, check the car tires, and stock
up on salt and kitty litter. But we also need to make
sure our pets are ready for ice, snow, and cold
temperatures.
According to the Humane Society of the United States
website, “pets are always happiest and healthiest
indoors.” But dogs still need to go outside to potty, of
course, and for walks. Keep in mind that some shorthaired breeds may need sweaters or coats to go out.
Make sure to monitor dogs while they’re outside in cold
temperatures because their ears, noses, and paws
can get frostbite surprisingly quickly. Also, if a dog’s
wearing any clothing for warmth, they can sometimes
get tangled. For walks, outfit yourself and your pup with
reflective gear to keep you both safe.
If your pet must spend any extended time outside, make
sure it has a warm, dry, protected shelter. The Humane
Society states that the shelter should be big enough for
the animal to stand and lie down comfortably, but small
enough that it will contain its body heat. The floor needs
to be raised a few inches off the ground and covered
with straw or shavings that are checked regularly and
kept dry. Some people provide shelters to feral cats in
their neighborhood. Visit www.alleycat.org for ideas on
simple, inexpensive shelters you can create for feral cats
or to purchase a shelter.
For any animal that spends time outdoors in the winter,
their caloric needs may increase as their body works
to keep warm. Talk to your vet about how many more
calories your pet may need during the cold months. Also,
the winter months can be tough on pets with arthritis, just
like humans, so ask your vet about supplements or pain
Paws need extra attention during the winter months
too. Snow, ice, and salt can irritate dogs’ paw pads
and cause cracking and other problems. If your dog
will tolerate them, you could try booties. Otherwise,
especially for walks or extended play time in the snow,
try paw wax or petroleum jelly. Simply apply it to their
paw pads before heading outdoors. Whether you apply
something to their paws or not, you’ll need to wipe
their paw pads with warm water and then dry them
thoroughly when they come back inside. For dogs with
longer coats, trim the fur in between their paw pads to
prevent snow or ice balls that can cause irritation and
become painful.
In addition to the salt and de-icing agents we use to
combat winter elements, antifreeze can pose a risk to
pets as well. Ingesting antifreeze can be fatal for both
dogs and cats, and unfortunately it has a sweet taste,
so they’re attracted to it. Dogs may eat antifreeze from
a puddle, and cats could just walk through it then ingest
it later while cleaning paws. Even that small amount can
be toxic to felines. So check for leaks from your car and
make sure containers of antifreeze have secure lids and
are stored on a high shelf.
Again, if it’s too cold outside for humans, it’s too cold
outside for pets, so keeping them warm and toasty
indoors is the best option. However, the low humidity
indoors can cause dry, flaky skin for pets, just like it can
for humans, so keep your home humidified as much as
possible. If your pet spends time in an area of the house,
or a garage for example, that is cold, be very cautious
about using space heaters. If you need to use a space
heater, choose one that does not get hot enough to
start a fire and offers safety features like a cool-to-thetouch exterior and automatic shut-off.
This winter, snuggle close to your pets and keep them
safe!

Michaela makes sure her children have plenty of fresh
fruits and vegetables. Rocky enjoys participating in
outdoor activities with her daughters and Kalena leads
by example, making healthy choices so her two children
follow in her footsteps.
The three mothers are among those highlighted in a new
Life is Why campaign from the American Heart Association,
called “Moms Unite,” which focuses on engaging mothers
as the “chief health officers” of families.
“This year’s campaign will work to unite moms by
celebrating what they are already doing and helping
them realize that they have the power to make real
change in the health of families everywhere,” said Rachel
Lawrence, Eastern Iowa Communications Director for
the American Heart Association. “We know that if more
moms make healthy living a priority for themselves and
their families, our impact will be even greater.”
Lawrence said the goal is to connect moms through
social media and share those messages.
The American Heart Association, the nation’s oldest and
largest voluntary organization dedicated to fighting heart
disease and stroke, was founded in 1924 and now includes
more than 22.5 million volunteers and supporters. The
group funds innovative research, fights for stronger public
health policies, and provides critical tools and information
to save and improve lives.
‘We want families to live healthier, longer lives so they can
experience more of life’s precious moments,” the Moms
Unite webpage notes. “That’s why we’ve made heart and
brain health our mission. But we can’t do it without you.
You’re at the heart of change. Together, we can realize a
healthier future for families everywhere. Starting with yours.”
The webpage includes videos of real moms and provides
opportunities to connect with the campaign.
Already, mom have been sharing Christmas photos of their
children with Santa, seeking ideas for healthy snacks and
more by connecting through the Moms Unite Facebook
page, at: www.facebook.com/groups/AHAMomsUnite.
As of last month, more than 800 members had already joined
the Facebook group to share their stories. “Priceless moment
- As I feel a little sad that my daughter is growing up and the
Santa magic is no longer, I am reminded how incredibly fast
the time is passing,” one mother wrote. “Then my daughter
(14) grabs my hand while we are shopping and says, ‘thanks
for making Christmas so fun, mom.’ Treasure every second
and embrace the time that is NOW!”
Another connection point is through a Thunderclap effort,
with the goal of recruiting 500 supporters by Jan. 11.
Supporters will have the same message shared through
Thunderclap on Facebook, Twitter or Tumblr. Supporting a
Thunderclap campaign is like signing a petition, but with
the added power of simultaneously sharing a message.
If the goal of 500 supporters is met, the one-time message
will read: “We have the power to make change for the
health of ourselves & our families. Join me & American
Heart! #FamilyIsWhy http://thndr.me/XWerWn”
Lawrence said the latest campaign is a continuation of
the American Heart Association’s ongoing efforts towards
public health education. The group is the nation’s leader
in CPR education training; helps people understand the
importance of healthy lifestyle choices; and provides
science-based treatment guidelines to health care
professionals to help them provide quality care to their
patients.
The American Heart Association also educates lawmakers,
policymakers and the public in advocating for changes
to protect and improve the health of communities.
Moms are an important way to spread those messages,
Lawrence said, and the Moms Unite effort allows them to
hear from other moms who are making healthy choices
for themselves and their families, to change the future of
health.
Moms can serve more fruits and vegetables at home,
as the American Heart Association has helped 30 million
children have healthier lunches at school; for example,
and teach their children to look both ways before crossing
the street, while the group has trained more than 1 million
high school students life-saving CPR.
The efforts show that by working together, the impact
means a future of healthier families living longer lives.
“By joining in the conversation,” Lawrence said, “moms
can unite to make real change.”

By Lily Allen-Duenas
Cedar Rapids artist Russ Fagle considers himself a “hybrid”
artist. He grew up in Northeast Iowa near Oelwein and
relocated to Cedar Rapids in 1995. He made his home as
a self-employed artist in the Cherry Building in 2002 and has
been there ever since. His studio, gallery, and company,
Mixed Media Magic, are all housed in The Cherry Building. He
posits, “the Cherry building is one of the reasons [he] stayed
in Cedar Rapids.” Inspiration has always found him there.
People who stop by his studio often ask if there are four
or five different artists working there because Fagle’s art is
immensely diverse. From his NewBo poster series, to delicate
abstracts, to pencil drawings, Fagle feels comfortable
working across genres and styles. Having a background in
graphic design and illustration, has worked to his favor as he
has recently designed the official logos for the New Bohemia
Group and NewBo Sushi. Creative Consultant is another
hat he wears. Companies hire him to generate branding
ideas and strategies. He draws inspiration from everywhere
— “a book of quantum physics could lead to the idea for
an amusement park. Aristotle’s words could inspire designs
for kitchen products.” Fagle believes, “the more that I learn
the more my projects are enriched.” He connects different
disciplines and different ideas with his creative pursuits to
give them more depth, validity, and ingenuity.
With a small group, Fagle helped envision the whole “New
Bohemia” concept. Together, they conceptualized the idea
of an artistic district. The inception of this idea was in the early
2000s even though people generally assume it was created
after the floods of 2008. However, Fagle and his co-creators
had planted the seeds of the NewBo movement before that
and once there was a platform for rebuilding and allocated
resources, NewBo was, as Fagle puts it, “ready to blossom.”
In response to the public interest and demand for
approachable art experiences, Fagle founded Mixed Media
Magic a couple of years ago. Mixed Media Magic is a
unique art party experience where each guest doesn’t just
pick up a paintbrush, but stencils, pencils, stamps, and more
to create pieces of art. He believes that there is “a lot of pent
up creativity in the workplace and in life in general.” This
knowledge is what led him to create Mixed Media Magic as
a way for people to experience the joy of creating without
the limits of a traditional follow-the-leader art experience.
There are no boundaries when it comes to classes with Fagle.
He is a diverse artist and wants the flexibility to not limit his
students to just acrylic painting on canvas. He’s excited to do
collage, jewelry, and decoupage with guests at his events.
Fagle generally offers classes monthly at the Cherry Building
and at NewBo City Market. He also will host private parties
and will travel throughout the corridor and beyond. He says
that if you have enough people signed up, he’d travel across
the country or even abroad. Concocting a supportive, fun,
and unique environment, Fagle is committed to the shared
experience of creating art without boundaries.
