Refinancing Special!
behind the names
rom the moment when parents first place their eyes on their children, those infants instantly become associated with a specific name.
Babies clearly do not have choices in their names, yet, in most cases,
they stick with them for their entire lives — and beyond.
F
My mother was born with the name Tressa Lavon Lane, yet she
used her middle name of Lavon her entire
life. Her siblings also went by their middle
names, and none of them can explain why.
Mom told me that if I had been born a girl,
she would have named me Devonna. Let’s
just say that I am glad I was born a boy, or
I might have been going by a middle name,
too. Yes, names are important.
Whether it’s in the newspaper archives,
hospital records, police reports or tombstones, our names are etched into history.
Those who have made noticeable contributions have their names associated with
streets, parks and monuments, while others who offered even more have cities, counties and even states named
after them. We see many of those names day in and day out, we give
directions using them and we even correct others who may mispronounce them, but we often don’t know the history behind the names.
We dedicate our cover story this month to some of those names
and provide the stories behind them, providing you with a bit of trivia to
impress your friends and some facts to help you further appreciate the
many people who have created such a rich history in Clive.
And as far as I can tell, none of them was named Devonna.
Thanks for reading.

A LOOK AT THE HISTORY
BEHIND SOME OF
GRIMES’ LANDMARKS
By Ashley Rullestad
ike any other city, Grimes
has a unique and interesting history waiting for those
who show interest to delve into it.
While many Grimes residents are
relative newcomers to the area,
there are those who were living in
the city before it was designated as
such. Their stories and memories
are the core of a community that
was founded in 1881 and incorporated as the city of Grimes in
1894. The names of those families
and their histories became part of
the city. Across Grimes, there are
names of famous first settlers as
well as other famous Iowans. Read
on to learn a little bit about the
people these landmarks, roads and
buildings were named after.
L
The Stewarts
The first people to settle in Iowa,
like in much of the state, were Sac
and Meskwaki Native American
Indians. Following a treaty with the
U.S. government, the tribes ceded
their land, making way for the first
settlers to move into the area.
One of the first to settle in the
Grimes area was Samuel Stewart
and his family in 1869. Their farm
was bordered on the west by what
is now Dallas County, on the south
by the Webster Township, section
31 of Jefferson Township. His son,
William James Stewart, is considered the grandfather of Grimes.
Keith Snow is president of the Governors District Alliance.

Lions Park is named after one of the longest-serving service groups in Grimes.
The road that is now Main Street used to be named
John Street, and what is now S.E. Second Street used
to be named Stewart Street, both after W.J. Stewart
When the railroad arrived in Grimes in 1881, the
town started booming. That year, Stewart purchased
the land to build his drugstore, the first in Grimes.
In 1883, the Grimes Land Improvement Company
secured options on additional ground, laid out several
small additions, graded the streets and alleys and set
the ball rolling on the new town. The first promoters
of the town included Stewart who served as secretary of the organization. The group made residence
lots that were 66 feet wide and were improved by
the building of houses ranging in price from $500 to
$1,500.
In 1890, Stewart was elected to the 23rd General
Assembly of Iowa. In 1892, he started a creamery
and a pill factory. In 1894, he helped to have Grimes
incorporated, and he served as the town’s first mayor.
In 1900, he helped organize the Grimes Savings Bank
and was elected director of the telephone company.
In 1902, he was elected to the Grimes school board
and started the famous Grimes canning factory. The
Stewart home was the first house on the west side of
Main Street, south of Highway 44.
In fact, Grimes was originally supposed to be
named Stewart. The name was sent to the post office,
but they wouldn’t accept it because there was already

a Stuart close by. An old historical record
quotes John Stewart as saying, “We wrote
them, that is the postal authorities, stating that
the spelling was not the same but they would
not have it, and we needed to change the name,
so we changed it to Grimes.” James W. Grimes
was Iowa’s third governor. Why Grimes and
not another governor or famous Iowan? No
one seems to know.
Governors district
Current business owners and others hope
that Grimes will one day be a destination for
those who are interested in the history of
Iowa’s governors. The Main Street district has
been named “Governors District,” and the
Governors District Alliance is a non-profit
group that is dedicated to promoting development and growth to that area.
“The thought behind the Governors
District is to create a destination for all Iowans
to come and celebrate the history of our governors since Iowa became a state in 1846,” says
alliance president Keith Snow. “There is nothing in the state of Iowa that is dedicated to the
history of our 40 governors.”
Organization members believe that, with
Grimes’ rich history, Grimes boasts a down-
“We need to make it a
priority to identify a way
to drive business to the
downtown area from within
Grimes as well as from
outside of Grimes.”
— Keith Snow
town area that provides historic buildings
and open spaces that are the perfect setting
to build a community for the new century.
As people look toward the future of Grimes
in regards to the downtown area, the group
hopes to make the area a destination.
Snow says that creating a theme for the
downtown area is the best way to accomplish its mission. Since the City of Grimes is
named after the third governor of Iowa, James
W. Grimes, organizers thought that a theme
should be created around this little known fact.
“Not only can we leverage the fact that the
city was named after Gov. Grimes, we should
come together and create an area dedicated
to all the governors,” he says. “We want to
give people a reason to come to Grimes from
outside of the community. We need to make it
a priority to identify a way to drive business to
the downtown area from within Grimes as well
as from outside of Grimes.”
Organizers hope that one day the district
will cover a 15- to 20-square-block area. They
hope Main Street will become the Grimes
Village, complete with specialty shops.
“People go to the East Village and Valley
Junction, and we want this to be a destination
as well,” Snow says.
The vision for the project is getting a boost
from the city as it has made plans to spend
$3 million toward the project. The city will
be redoing six city blocks and putting in new
streetlights and a cobblestone sidewalk.
The Alliance also plans to buy banners for

the streetlights in the area that will depict each governor of Iowa. The
design for the sidewalks will also allow for them to drop in etched stones
of each governor’s likeness.
“It will be really cool,” Snow says. “As for the future, we’ve gone to
State Historical Society and talked about doing a governor’s museum.
We’re planting the seed. There’s nothing like it that exists in Iowa, and it
makes sense that it’s located in Grimes. Grimes is part of the metro, it’s
close, and it’s named after Gov. Grimes, so it’s the long-term vision.”
Highway 141 in Grimes has also recently been renamed Grimes
Boulevard in honor of the city’s namesake.
Lions Park
The Lions Club chapter in Grimes has been in existence since 1947.
Lions Club is the largest service organization in the world with 1.4 million
members and more than 44,000 clubs worldwide. The Grimes chapter
has a long history of helping the community with numerous projects.
The Lions Club building was built in 1951 for a cost of $6,625, and
the men did a lot of work building it themselves. In 1953, there wasn’t
room for kindergarten classes at the school, so the Lions building was
available for kindergarten and first grades. A major fundraiser in the
1950s and 1960s was a lunch stand at the state fairgrounds. The organization has made donations to local campfire girls, bought Christmas
decorations for city, and put a new roof on elderly woman’s house in
town. In recent years, the Lions donated materials and labor to construct
a picnic shelter at Lions Park.
The club meets twice a month second and forth Monday nights with
exception of July and August when there is only one meeting. Meetings
are at the Lions Club building at 222 South Main.
Other notable names:
Gabus Drive
This street is named after a prominent Des Moines business family that
owns Gabus Automotive Group. Gene Gabus is a developer in Grimes,
and he has a new development proposal for more than 400 acres of
ground his family owns in Grimes.
The IOOF Building
This building was built 100+ years ago, and it was named for the first
lodge in Grimes. Although the organization no longer exists, there is
a push to completely renovate the building and preserve its historical
significance to the community.
The Meadows
This is the name of the new middle-school building, which just opened in
2012. It is named after the Meadows Family, who at one time owned the
ground where the school is now located.
Beisser Drive
A street in southeast Grimes that serves an entire development that
came to be because of the Beisser family. The first business along Beisser
Drive is none other than Beisser Lumber Company. Q

treatment of seasonal allergies?
A: Most dental problems start small, but then
go through a rapid growth phase. Regular sixmonth checkups enable us to catch these problems before they become serious.
Plaque, which is a sticky film of food and
bacteria that forms constantly on your teeth,
can harden in as little as 24 hours to become
tartar. Even with proper brushing and flossing,
most people are not able to remove all the
Matthew Platt, D.D.S., P.C.
plaque every day.
Plaque and tartar buildup are the main
cause of gingivitis (inflammation that makes gums swell and bleed), which
untreated may lead to periodontal disease which causes receding gums,
bone loss and sometimes tooth loss. Periodontal disease has also been
linked to heart disease and other serious illnesses. The bacteria in plaque
also cause tooth decay. A small cavity can easily be fixed and should be
taken care of in a timely fashion as to not risk further decay.
To keep these dental problems from becoming serious, it is recommended that you visit your dentist twice a year for an exam and cleaning.
And if you do have dental insurance, most employers allow two checkups
a year. Plus, it is always fun to come to the dentist. Q
Information provided by Grove & Platt Dental Associates, PLC, 1541 S. Third
St., Suite 300, 986-4001 and CAESY Education Systems.
A: The weather is starting to get warmer, and spring is the time of year that
we normally think of when it comes to seasonal allergies. As the trees start
to bloom and the pollen gets airborne, allergy sufferers begin their annual
ritual of sniffling and sneezing.
Pollen is tiny grains released into the air by trees, grasses and weeds for
the purpose of fertilizing other plants. When pollen grains get into the nose
of someone who’s allergic, they send the immune system into overdrive. The
immune system, mistakenly seeing the pollen as foreign invaders, releases
antibodies which are substances that normally identify and attack bacteria, viruses and other illness-causing organisms. The antibodies attack the
allergens, which leads to the release of chemicals called histamines into the
blood. Histamines trigger the common symptoms of allergies which include
cough, runny nose, watery eyes, sneezing and dark circles around the eyes.
Allergy symptoms are most often treated with over-the-counter
(OTC) antihistamines: Claritin, Zyrtec or Allegra. Prescription nasal spray
and eye drops are often used for severe symptoms. If symptoms do not
respond to OTC or prescription medication, referral to an allergist may
be warranted for allergy testing and possible injections. Avoidance of being
outside on windy spring days and keeping windows in the home closed
during the spring will help minimize symptoms. If symptoms seem severe
or do not improve with the use of OTC medications contact your medical
provider for evaluation. Q

A: Our ability to maintain balance declines with age, and falling can be a major
problem as a result. Accidents are the sixth leading cause of death in persons older
than 75, with falls being the leading factor. There are several things that can influence the possibility of a fall. If you are taking medications, check with your doctor
to see if the medicine could be affecting your balance. Some medicines or combinations of medicine can cause dizziness or have other side effects that may increase
your risk. Home hazards, such as loose rugs, poorly lit areas, and phone or electrical cords in or near high traffic areas, can affect your safety. Utilizing handrails
on stairs and grab bars in the bathtub are good options to help you maintain your
balance. One of the best ways to improve your balance and decrease your fall risk
is to stay active and keep your body strong. There are a variety of exercises that
physical therapists can teach you to specifically help with balance and fall-related
issues. Improving leg strength, balance, coordination and flexibility may reduce the
risk of falls. If you are unsure of where to start with an exercise program, check
with your doctor, and discuss physical therapy as an option.
Accelerated Rehabilitation Centers and our specially trained physical
therapists are committed to reducing fall risk, improving quality of life, and
promoting healthy aging. Our physical therapists will evaluate your specific
deficits and design an individual exercise and balance program for the clinic as
well as for home. For more information or to schedule an appointment, contact

know if and how you can self-treat.
Sunburns should only be self-treated if they
are minor. If you experience severe blistering
or burns covering large areas of the body along
with high fever or extreme pain, seek care from
your physician. If the burn is minor, there are
several things that you can do to relieve the pain
and discomfort. First, cool the affected area by
soaking in cool water for 10 - 15 minutes. Using
Lena Mullins, Pharm. D.
cool cloths, ice packs or taking a cool shower
may help as well. Next, apply moisturizers, such
as cocoa butter, glycerin or petrolatum to help reduce the swelling and
peeling associated with the sunburn. Hydrocortisone cream may also be
used on the skin to relieve any discomfort.
If you are experiencing pain with the sunburn, using over-thecounter products such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen may help. Lastly,
make sure to drink plenty of water in order to keep your body hydrated,
because dehydration can aggravate the effects of the sunburn. If the burn
does not improve or worsens, make sure to contact your physician. If
you have any questions or need any advice on choosing the right products, please feel free to stop by the pharmacy. Q

Q: Do women suffer from Dry
Eye Syndrome more than men?
A: Everyone experiences the symptoms from time to time: Burning,
irritable eyes and/or sensation that something is actually scratching the
eye. But for some 3 million American women the symptoms are chronic,
according to Dr. Matthew Howie, therapeutic optometrist. These
women suffer from Dry Eye Syndrome
“Tears are essential for good eye health,” Dr. Howie says. “They
lubricate the eye, protect it from infections and wash away allergens. With
Dry Eye Syndrome, the eyes produce too few tears or tears of such poor
quality that they don’t stay on the eye. Ironically, some people with Dry
Eye Syndrome may actually experience tears running down their cheeks.”
Everyone experiences reduced tear production as they age, but
women are more prone to Dry Eye Syndrome than men by a 3 to 1
margin. Studies have shown that hormone therapy may increase the
incidence of Dry Eye Syndrome, as can birth control pills, blood pressure
medicines, antihistamines and certain anti-depressants.
“April is Women’s Eye Health Awareness Month and we want
women to know there are several options for managing Dry Eye
Syndrome, “Dr. Howie says. Those options include lubricating drops that
can minimize the dry, scratchy sensation, prescription eye drops that can
actually improve tear production and inserts place under the eyelid that
slowly release lubrication throughout the day. Q

Q: What is scoliosis?
A: Scoliosis is a sideways curving of
the spine that often gets started in
childhood, when bones of the spine are
still growing. In many cases, the exact
cause of scoliosis is unknown. It is
thought that scoliosis is the result of a
hereditary problem or an adaptation to
some type of trauma, such as the birth
process or an injury such as falling off a
bicycle. It usually starts with problems
in the lower back or pelvis.
Scoliosis is detected by uneven
shoulder heights, loss of structural balance or a change in posture. If a spinal
curve exists, this can result in pressure
on the joints, discs and nerves. Because
spinal bones can continue to grow well
into the early 20s, if left uncorrected scoliosis often worsens.
Early detection and chiropractic correction is important for optimum
results. Do you know someone who could benefit from a chiropractic
examination? Q

ncountering stock market
losses early in one’s retirement years can deliver a blow
to an equity-heavy portfolio.
If you’ve determined that
your equity weighting is extremely
aggressive relative to your risk
appetite, reducing risk by altering
your portfolio’s asset allocation
may be essential. The need to
reduce the risk of your portfolio
doesn’t mean you have to move
money directly from stocks to
bonds. As you cut back on your
equity exposure, it may be wise
to move money into cash and/or
short-duration bonds (duration is
a measure of interest-rate sensitivity), then slowly and systematically move it into the bond market
over a period of several months
or years. This way, you may be
able to obtain a range of purchase
prices for your new bond holdings.
It’s important to think about
what you’re trying to achieve by
transitioning your portfolio to
bonds as retirement draws near.
Lower risk and liquidity may be
the answer. One potential way to
obtain both is to take some of the
money you would otherwise have
earmarked for bonds and use it to
pay down debt, even low-interest
mortgage debt. If having a paiddown mortgage will reduce your
expenses in retirement, you will
be reducing the need to raise cash
from your portfolio to meet inretirement living expenses.
Diversification does not
eliminate the risk of experiencing
investment losses. Stocks are not
E
guaranteed and have been more
volatile than other asset classes.
Bonds are subject to credit/default
risk, which is risk associated with
the issuer failing to meet its contractual obligations either through
a default or credit downgrade.
Bonds are sensitive to interest rate
changes. In general, the price of a
debt security tends to fall when
interest rates rise and rise when
interest rates fall. Securities with
longer maturities and mortgage
securities can be more sensitive to
interest rate changes.
If I can help with your investment management and help guide
you through these turbulent times,
please come see me at City State
Bank or call me at (515) 986-2265
to set up a meeting.

Prenuptial
agreements
Agreement can be a vital estate-planning tool
By Ross Barnett, attorney, Abendroth and Russell Law Firm
remarital agreements (also
called “ante-nuptial” agreements) are legally-binding
contracts entered into by an
engaged couple prior to marriage.
Prenuptial agreements accomplish
the twin goals of asset protection
and guaranteeing inheritance by
children of a prior marriage. They
can be vital estate-planning and
wealth-preservation tools.
These agreements are typically neutral. That is, they give each
party the same rights and treat
both identically. They can allow
a person to keep pre-marriage
assets as separate from a new marriage as the parties desire. They
can also allow a spouse to protect
his or her children’s interests in
their inheritance more effectively.
Marriage confers certain rights
on the parties, including the right
to claim one-third of the spouse’s
estate at death (regardless of the
terms of the deceased spouse’s
will) and certain rights in the other’s real estate. As a result, the
party owning the real estate cannot sell or mortgage it without
both spouses’ signatures on the
deed or loan documents. Finally,
each spouse has a right to a share
of the marital property if the parties divorce.
The purpose of a premarital agreement is to modify or
waive these marital rights before
they accrue. Essentially, each party
agrees that he or she will have
no claim against the property of
the other spouse brings into the
marriage. This means that neither spouse can claim a share
of the other’s property at death.
It also means that in the event
P
of a divorce, each spouse will
get to keep the assets he or she
brought into the marriage. The
joint property acquired after the
marriage generally is split equally
upon divorce, just as if there were
no premarital agreement.
Iowa law requires that each
party be separately represented by
an attorney at the time a premarital
agreement is drafted and signed. As
a result, the agreement is generally
unassailable after marriage. Iowa
courts have looked unfavorably on
a spouse who claims that he or she
was “coerced” into signing a premarital agreement. The contract
will be binding.
Previously thought of as a legal
vehicle for only the wealthy, premarital agreements have become
a popular and effective vehicle for
people looking to protect their
assets. These agreements are
becoming more commonplace as
people attempt to protect the
potential inheritance of their children. Such an agreement, when
properly prepared, can accomplish
this and allow the wishes of your
will to be followed. Q

hat might a person
find inside the garage
of a woodworker? If
you guessed wood you’d be correct, but you would be missing
something important. Potential.
That’s what can be found in
Bob Cooper’s garage, the potential
for more. More artwork, more
ideas, more fun and, of course,
more wood.
“Well, I don’t get rich, but it’s
fun,” smiles Cooper as he sips his
morning coffee.
As usual Cooper has stacks of
2x4s, wood scraps, dark woods,
light woods, imaginary woods, all
woods just lining the walls and piled
high as the ceiling. If you can name
the wood, he’s probably got a piece
of it somewhere in his garage.
“I collect woods from all
around the world like Africa and
South America, but now there are
more embargos so [some woods]
are going bye-bye, so I started
dying wood to look like the kind I
can’t get anymore,” says Cooper,
describing “imaginary woods.”
“Now I’ve started to try new
things like metallic grain… and
I don’t know how I do it, I just
started doing it.”
Though Cooper is indeed a

master craftsman, there is no denying the superior artistry that can
be seen in much of his work. It’s
not just locally either. Cooper has
had his work featured around the
world. He has created work for
the king of Thailand (a canary wood
container for a World Food Prize
medal) as well as a small sculpture
for George W. Bush in 1999 that
could hold a pocket watch.
At the moment, it seems
Cooper is keeping himself as busy
as can be. Between his projects for
work and the artworks he does
to further his own craftsmanship,
Cooper is a guy who seems like he
has never complained about waking
up in the morning to go to work.
When he’s not busy in the garage,
he’s busy coming up with a new
sport to play in his barn’s hayloft.
“I’m converting the hayloft and
inventing a game that kind of like
pickleball,” Cooper explains. “I
was a tennis player, so I’m making
these sort of little wooden rackets
to play on the smaller court up in
the barn. It’s a spin game, sort of
between ping-pong and tennis.”
Fine tuning the sports rules
will be the hard part. As for raw
materials for the rackets, Cooper
should be just fine. Q

Fairbanks
he Fairbanks is a traditional large
home, designed to provide plenty
of living space for spreading out
during long, cold winter months. The
central section of its exterior has a symmetrical, almost colonial look. Handsome
brick columns support an arched and
gabled entry that creates a frame highlighting the front door, accented by sidelights and an arched transom.
That door leads into a dramatic
two-story foyer. Double doors on the
right open into a den or home office,
while the opening on the left goes into
a dining room that’s windowed on two
sides. Straight ahead, past the coat closet
and stairway, the foyer opens out into a
vaulted great room.
Wide windows flank the fireplace
centered on the far wall. These look
out onto a vaulted and covered patio.
Another set of multipaned windows is
stacked above the lower set, while a
taller, gracefully arched window arrangement crowns the fireplace.
Standing at the kitchen sink, you can
converse with people in the living room,
or gaze out the rear windows. In addition
to a work island, the kitchen has plenty
of cupboards and counter space, and is
completely open to the sunny nook. A
walk-in pantry, wide and deep, is across
the hall, just outside a large utility room
with room for a freezer.
The owners’ suite fills most of the right
wing. A French door offers direct patio
access, and its private bathroom boasts
a spa tub, oversized shower, dual vanity,
private toilet, and a roomy walk-in closet.
On the Fairbanks’ upper level, a
balcony overlooks the entry and great
room. Two bedrooms share a bathroom,
and storage closets line the hallway leading to a window-bright bonus room that
sits over the three-car garage.
Visit AssociatedDesigns.com for
more information or to search our home
plans. A review plan of the Fairbanks
30-648, including floor plans, elevations,

purchased for $25. Our home plan catalog, featuring more than 550 home plans,

QJUNIOR TEEN 8-Week Session
MAKE YOUR SUMMER STRONGER!
Nathan Brammer joined more than 200 of his fellow representatives at
the Investment Centers of America, Inc. (ICA) national educational conference in Scottsdale, Ariz. The annual event, held March 6 - 10 at the
Westin Kierland Resort, provided an opportunity for attendees to share
strategies for developing effective solutions to assist clients with their
financial goals. Only the top ICA representatives received an invitation
to this conference. Brammer is located at Vision Wealth Management in
Grimes at 925 Gateway Drive.
The theme of this year’s conference was “Know Your Brand” and
representatives learned how to establish effective practice management
techniques; advance the levels of their professional financial advice; and
learn the appropriate methods to aid in accomplishing long-term goals
for themselves and their clients.
21st Century Rehab has new director
21st Century Rehab announces that Paul
Ouverson PT, DPT, CEAS has assumed the
responsibilities of clinic director at the Grimes
Facility. Ouverson has worked with 21st Century
Rehab for the past three years, most recently at
the Carlisle facility as clinic director. While in
Carlisle, he was successful in building his practice
by gaining the trust of local physicians and the
school as well as local Carlisle citizens to make a
successful practice.
Paul Ouverson
However, when the opportunity arose to
work in the same town he lived, Ouverson stated, “It was too good of an
opportunity to pass up.” He and his wife have called Grimes home since
2008 and recently added to the family with their first child. Ouverson is
looking forward to bringing his style and expertise to the Grimes area.
“I believe that each individual is unique and that their treatments
should reflect this,” he says. “Even though people may be doing similar
activities each person’s goals are different.”
Ouverson has been a physical therapist for 10 years after graduating
from Creighton University. During his time as a therapist he has worked
with a variety of patient populations from children as young as 2 up to a
107-year-old centenarian. He has worked with employers and employees
with work-related injuries as well as athletes of all ages from amateur
weekend warriors to collegiate and professional athletes. Q

Q&A: EAR INFECTIONS

pain or that their hearing seems diminished. A child of any age may also have a fever
that accompanies an ear infection. If the ear drum has ruptured parents may also notice
drainage from their child’s ear.
Q. What should parents do if they suspect their child has an
ear infection?
A. Visiting the child’s doctor is the best thing to do when any signs of an ear
infection are present. The doctor can look directly at the child’s ear drum to
determine if there is an infection.
Q. What treatment options are available?
A. Many ear infections are viral and do not require an antibiotic. The age of the
child and the severity of the infection are factors in determining whether
antibiotic or time and pain control are the appropriate treatment options.
In some cases, when a child has multiple ear infections in a short period of
time, the placement of ear tubes may be recommended to help decrease
further infections.
Q. How can parents reduce the risk of ear infection?
A. Breast feeding and routine vaccinations, including the pneumococcal and
influenza vaccines, may help decrease the risk of ear infection in children.
The risk for ear infection increases with exposure to tobacco smoke, pacifier
use and lying down flat to drink a bottle.

door in Johnston. She
attended Dana College in
Blair, Neb., on a softball and academic scholarship and earned her
degree in elementary education. She
is just four classes away from earning her master’s degree in arts of
education from Viterbo University.
“Becoming a teacher is something I dreamed of as a little girl,”
Schoop says. “It’s something I can
see myself doing as long as I can.”
She began her teaching career
at Nodaway Valley where she
taught preschool and kindergarten
for two years. She is now teaching second grade at South Prairie
Elementary School in Grimes.
“I really enjoy teaching the second graders,” she says. “I believe
my favorite part of the school day
is the morning when the kids come
in with smiles on their faces saying
‘Good morning.’ ”
Schoop enjoys teaching math
to her students, as it has always
been her favorite subject..
“Currently we are working on
time and money,” she says. The
students have a hands-on kind of
learning using and identifying different coins and their values. For
instance, they are asked “If you
have two quarters and a dime,
would you have enough to buy an
item for 75 cents?”
“I suggest to parents that they
take their kids along when they go
into a store, give them a certain
amount of money and let them buy

something,” Schoop says. “They
should recognize the coins they
would be getting back.”
In the time session, the students are learning to tell time
on both analog and digital clocks.
They learn to tell time in fiveminute increments.
“The students each have a miniature clock to work with,” Schoop
says. “They learn to read analog and
write in digital. I think it is important to be able to read analog.”
Schoop doesn’t like to see
students struggling with a concept.
“I’ll do anything I can to help
the student get the information
they need to know,” she says.
“Seeing the excitement on their
faces and their eyes light up when
they understand a concept they
didn’t before is a beautiful thing.”
Schoop says working at DC-G
is her dream job.
“We have an awesome team
of other second grade teachers,
and a wonderful principal to work
with,” she says. Q
What do you hope to do this summer?

St. Peter Lutheran Youth plan for mission trip
By David Rowley
t’s finally time to officially turn
our backs on winter and welcome the beautiful weather of
spring and all its possibilities.
Many people start with a good
spring cleaning, and what better
way to go out with the old than
to donate unwanted clothes and
household items rather than tossing them into the trash? Maybe
the cleaning is done, and now it’s
time to spruce up the home. How
about finding some amazing stuff
for cheap?
On Saturday, May 11, the youth
of St. Peter Lutheran Church
will be holding their third annual garage sale fundraiser on the
same day as the Grimes city-wide
garage sale. Everyone is invited to
browse through the merchandise
on sale at St. Peter Lutheran. Funds
raised will help its youth attend
their Youth Mission Trip in July to
Copperhill, Tenn., where they will
spend the week helping families in
the Smokey Mountains with home
repairs and with a vacation Bible
school program.
The next day, on Sunday, May
12, the youth of St. Peter Lutheran
will lead worship services with
their annual youth services, planning the day’s services and offering
music and skits to deliver their
message about God to those in
attendance. This is also Senior
Recognition Sunday at St. Peter.

The church recognizes the members of its congregation who are
in the graduating class of 2013 with
a gift from the congregation. The
students come forward to tell the
congregation of their future plans.

Methodist Church has a dinner

April 27, to fund the Watoto 2014
mission trip to Uganda. Watoto is
a holistic childcare ministry where
vulnerable women are set up in
homes as mothers to orphaned
children. The event will focus on
mothers, as Mother’s Day is quickly approaching. It would be a great
event to attend to find a special gift
for the Grimes moms. The event
starts at 6 p.m. with a preview
of silent auction items, pork loin
dinner at 6:30 p.m., games and a
speaker following.
The cost of the dinner is a
freewill donation. Interested parties are encouraged to RSVP to

Chocolate chip pie
Baking honors the memory of her mother
By Marchelle Walter Brown
ost people have childhood
memories of coming home
to the smell of cookies
fresh from the oven. However,
when my mind goes back to my
mother’s kitchen, I can smell the
aroma of fresh-baked pies and see
them lining the kitchen counter.

Sometimes there would be one
or two and sometimes six or seven.
My mom was Hilda (Dykes) Walter, and not only did she bake pies for
us to enjoy at home but, more often than not she was making them for
company dinners and family reunions or donating them to church dinners, funeral dinners and many school fundraisers. Sometimes I would
wake up in the morning and there would be pies galore, and my dad
would say, “I guess your mom couldn’t sleep last night.” Yes, she even
baked pies in the middle of the night. The art of pie-baking just seemed
to come natural for her.
I, on the other hand, had to work at it. I had never baked a pie in
my life until after my mom passed away in 1994, and then I became fixated with carrying on her pie-baking tradition. In keeping with tradition,
I still use my mom’s pie plates and my grandmother’s marble rolling pin.
The process really isn’t about duplicating her pie; it’s about honoring her
memory. Like my mom, making pie is like therapy for me, and every one
I make warms my heart and makes me feel closer to her. Q

Mom’s Pie Crust
3 cups flour
1 cup lard (I use Crisco)
½ tsp salt
6 Tbsp milk
Directions
1. Blend flour, salt and lard until
crumbly. Toss lightly with milk until
flour is incorporated.
2. Divide dough into two balls and
roll each ball out onto a lightly
floured surface, periodically sprinkling with more flour. Keep your
rolling pin clean by rubbing a little
flour over it while rolling out crust.
Trick: I roll my crust onto waxed
paper or pastry boards and then
place my pie pan upside down on
the crust and “flip” the crust into
the pan. It just works better that
way for me.
Makes 1 double crust or 2 single
crust pies.
Chocolate Chip Pie
2 eggs
½ cup flour
½ cup sugar
½ cup brown sugar
2 sticks butter (melted and cooled
to room temperature)
1 cup chocolate chips
1 unbaked pie shell
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
2. In large bowl, beat eggs ‘til foamy;
beat in flour, sugar and brown sugar
until well blended.
3. Blend in melted butter. Lightly
stir in chocolate chips.
4. Pour into pie shell and bake for
1 hour.

The Special Olympics Iowa Board of Directors has named retired Navy
Rear Admiral Hal Pittman as its next president and CEO after a nationwide search.
“We are absolutely thrilled to announce Hal Pittman as the next
president and CEO of Special Olympics Iowa,” stated Chick Herbert,
SOIA Board chair. “Hal is the ideal individual to lead our great organization forward. He possesses tremendous leadership skills, passion and
strategic vision that will position us for continued growth for years to
come. Hal has demonstrated success at every stage of his distinguished
career, and he will bring fresh perspective and innovative ideas to the
Special Olympics movement.”
Pittman brings more than 20 years of executive leadership experiThe Beisser Lumber Staff at B.I.G. held on March 28 at Beisser Lumber. ence to Special Olympics. Throughout his military career, he promoted
sports programs as community outreach, and in 2012 was named
“Advisor for Life” by the Afghanistan National Olympic Committee for
his sports diplomacy efforts assisting Afghanistan’s sports federations and
athletes. He has also published articles on youth and teen sports training,
serves as a director for Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) Strength Sports,
and will be inducted as a director for the U.S. Bobsled and Skeleton

“I am thankful to the Special Olympics Iowa Search Committee and

THANK
YOU
Involvement is
fun and rewarding
to all the
sponsors and
volunteers for
making our
Grimes Easter
Eggstravaganza
a huge success!
Many ways to help your community
By Brian Buethe, executive director, Grimes Chamber and
Economic Development
rimes Chamber and
Economic Development
(GCED) is involved in
many activities throughout any
given year. The organization’s
primary goal with its leadership
and participation in activities is
to improve the community as a
whole. Typically, involvement falls
into three primary categories: economic development, tourism and
traditional Chamber duties/efforts.
While GCED is a membership
organization, its members are not
exclusively for-profit businesses.
There are a variety of other organizations including local churches,
politicians, schools, individual citizens and non-profit service organizations. In short, we encourage involvement from all sectors
of our community, because we
believe that great communities
are inclusive in nature. The more
engaged the people and businesses
of Grimes become, the more they
will care, the better the community will be in the long run.
If you live in Grimes, or any
community for that matter, you
should strongly consider being
involved at some level. In addition
to involvement in GCED directly, there are several other great
opportunities to get involved.
Specific to community service,
there are two traditional community service organizations that I
would like to make sure that you
are aware exist in Grimes.
First is the newly-formed
Countyline Kiwanis Club, which in
a short period of time has already
had a big impact on the Grimes
Community. This club is a charter
organization of the larger Kiwanis

International, whose motto
is “Serving the Children of the
World.” That’s a pretty impressive mission and one of the reasons they chose to be the Golden
Egg Sponsor this past month at
the Grimes Easter Eggstravaganza.
Undoubtedly, you will be seeing
much more of the Kiwanis, as
they are a very motivated group of
citizens and local business leaders.
Learn more about the Kiwanis at
www.kiwanis.org.
The Grimes Lions Club has
been serving the area for more
than 66 years. Established in 1947,
it is hard to know, let alone summarize, just how much positive
impact this organization has had
on the Grimes community since
its inception. The Lions Club
motto is “We Serve;” a motto
which applies to more than just
the breakfasts they have long been
offering. Known largely for their
work with vision impairment, this
group donates to many local charities and causes. Recent examples
include their fundraising efforts
in support of the DC-G Friends
of Fine Arts (FOFA) and their
annual scholarship offerings. You
can keep up with their activities at
www.grimeslions.com.
I hope you consider involvement in these fine upstanding
service organizations, which are
also members of Grimes Chamber
and Economic Development. Your
involvement can benefit your
resume, the community of Grimes
and even the world. So don’t
hesitate any longer; get involved
in these or some other wonderful
community betterment organizations today. Q
