hat if you had written down a list of things you wanted to
accomplish when you were 10 years old? What would that list
have looked like? To mow enough lawns to buy a new bike?
To achieve a certain grade in a class? To hit a specific number of home runs
in the Little League game?
Now imagine what that list would have
looked like if you wrote it at 25 years old.
What would be there now? To be hired
for a specific job? To pay off debt? To
meet that special person and get married?
To have children?
As I creep closer to 50 years old, I can
begin guessing what a bucket list for a
person that age might look like. To help
pay for college for children? To pay off a
mortgage? To travel to a specific locale?
To save a specific amount for retirement?
There was a time in my life when I set
a goal to run a marathon. I also wanted to
earn a black belt in karate. And I wanted
to live in Florida. Those first two bucket
list items are no longer of interest, but the weather of Florida does look
more and more inviting as a place to someday retire.
Yes, our needs and desires change as we age, and, as such, our goals
do, too. Today my bucket list items are much simpler and not always as
measurable. I want to experience new places, new foods, new people. I
want to deepen my faith, strengthen my ties with friends and family, eat
healthier, exercise more and, maybe most importantly, help others achieve
their goals.
For this issue of Waukee Living, we talked with several local residents
and asked about their bucket lists. As you may suspect, their goals vary
greatly, but simply knowing what they are helps us to better understand
our neighbors, appreciate their dreams and respect their accomplishments.
From visiting Tahiti to earning a college degree to feeding sharks, these
Waukee residents are living the dream and encouraging the rest of us to
do the same.

ments, and be inspired to think more about
your own bucket list.
Island adventure
Meggan Morgan and her husband, Bryce, knew
they wanted to visit French Polynesia, specifically the island of Tahiti. It was where Bryce’s
FEATURE
parents had gone on their own honeymoon,
and the couple had it in the back of their minds
as a vacation destination.
“They always told him growing up about
how amazing it was,” Meggan says. “And we
just always knew we wanted to go there, too.
We decided to save up and make it a reality.”
Once they arrived, they decided to cross
some island adventures off their bucket lists,
and No. 1 was going on an excursion to feed
sharks. They were on the island of Bora Bora,
and a guide took them out to an area of the
ocean where sharks were known to feed. Soon
they were in the water with about 20 black tip
sharks — and no cage.
“It was scary because they’d swim within
three feet of you,” Meggan says. “They’d swim
toward you, and then at what seemed like the
last second, they’d break away. It was really
cool.”
After a little while, the boat captain jumped
in the water and told everyone to get his or her
snorkel gear and look down. Below them were
two large lemon sharks circling around. Though
it was typical to see black tip sharks, the captain
was less sure about the lemon sharks, and he
soon told everyone it was probably best to get
back on the boat.
While they were on their trip, they also
went on a stingray excursion, and Meggan says
that was even wilder since the stingrays would
sort of flop onto you and touch you. The
couple also spent their time checking out the
sights, zipping around on a rented scooter and
otherwise enjoying the islands.
One thing that was unexpected during the
trip, though, was a knock on their door at 3
a.m. one morning. Policemen told them that
there was a tsunami warning, and everyone
was instructed to head to the highest point of
the island immediately. The large earthquake
in Japan happened during the trip, and no one
was sure if any tsunamis would result from it.
Luckily nothing happened, and everything was
fine, but it added a bit of extra adrenaline to
their already adventurous trip.
“It was just such a great time, and any
chance people have to take advantage of those
opportunities, just do it,” Meggan says.
Two down
When it comes to bucket lists, Kathryn Sandie
says she’s already completed two of her items
— being the first in her immediate family to
graduate from college and completing a full
marathon.
Sandie is a fifth-generation Waukee resident, and after graduation, she attended Grand
View University. While she initially wanted
to go into education, she ultimately decided
she wanted to pursue a career in the banking
industry.
Also, when she turned 25, she decided to
take up running. She’d never been an athlete in
school, but she was determined to eventually
complete a marathon, so she started small and
started building on her running distances.
“I started out very slowly, running a couple
blocks and then farther and farther, and I
became really into health and fitness, and I
made it one of my goals,” she says. “I knew
I wanted to do it, and I completed the Des
Moines marathon in 2009.”
Sandie isn’t done running yet, though. She
intends to complete another marathon this
year, either the Des Moines marathon again, or
one in South Dakota, which is a qualifying race
for the Boston Marathon, which is a new goal
on her bucket list.
“My grandma, who was still alive when I ran
my first marathon, said I would make it there,
and I haven’t done it yet,” Sandie says. “But
someday I want to.”
So what else remains on her list? She says
ultimately her goal is to become one of the top
women in her company in the banking field. She
also says she wants to be mayor of Waukee

someday. She’s taken steps to become
more active in the community and take
on leadership roles, and she says her
upbringing puts her in a great position to
understand the needs of Waukee and its
citizens in the future.
“I know the value of where this
community came from in its downtown
community, but now living where the new
growth is, I also see that importance,” she
says. “I think I can bring a good balance of

it started and where it will continue to

Travel fun
Amanda and Bryant Loosle were both
able to check items off their bucket lists
when they went on a trip this last summer to the Canary Islands, a Spanish
archipelago located just off the southern
coast of Morocco.
“One of the items on my bucket
list is to visit every continent except
for Antarctica, and this counted as visiting Africa, since the islands are just off
Morocco,” Amanda says. “We were able

“Find it in your
budget when you
can, because it’s
so worth it seeing
other places and
learning about
other cultures.”
— Amanda Loosle
to extend our trip and visit London for a
couple of days, and my husband was able to
cross an item off his list, too — visiting the
library at Oxford University.”
The couple spent most of their time on
the third largest Canary Island, Gran Canaria,
a major tourist destination. Because the area
is both subtropical and desertic, the islands
having interesting variations in climate and
features.
“It’s like parts of the Sahara Desert, so
instead of beaches they’d have sand dunes
meet right up with the ocean, and it was
really different than any ocean I’d ever seen,”
Amanda says. “We rode camels through the
sand dunes, and it was really tropical like
Hawaii in some areas and desert in others, and
it was so diverse in that one place.”
On the way home from the Canaries,
they were able to sneak in a couple of days in
England. Amanda says Bryant, now in medical
school, has always been a bit of an academic
and has loved books since he was a kid. In fact,
when they were dating, he said he wanted a
library in his house someday.
“I was like, ‘What? I do, too!’ ” she says.
“This made me extra interested in him. We’re
also both big ‘Harry Potter’ fans, and a lot of
it was shot there. It was a little bit out of the
way to get there, but it was so cool and so
worth it. He’s wanted to do that since he was
a kid.”
After they returned home from the trip,
the couple found out they were expecting
their first child. They were excited that they
had the opportunity to take the time to travel
before adding in the additional juggling act that
a new baby brings.
Now that Amanda has visited five continents, she says the last on her list to see
is Australia. Bryant graduates from medical
school in two years, so they hope to make the
trip then.
When it comes to crossing items off your
bucket list, Amanda says just go for it. At first
Bryant wasn’t sure about going ahead with
such a big expensive trip, but Amanda told him
it was worth it.
“We were looking at flights about this
time last year, and he was dragging his feet,”
she says. “I just did it, and after that, we both
felt really good about it. I read somewhere
that if people went out to eat two fewer times
a week and bought two fewer sodas than they
do, they’d have enough saved up in six months
to go on a big trip. Find it in your budget when
you can, because it’s so worth it seeing other
places and learning about other cultures.” n

LEGAL BRIEFS
Top 10 things to do if you are in a car accident
By Apryl DeLange
Y
ou’ve been in a car accident.
Here is a list of what to do
next.
• Call police. Provide location
of accident and notification of injuries.
Note officer’s name and badge number. Obtain a copy of the accident
report.
• Check on others involved
in the accident. If it is safe to exit
your vehicle and you are physically
able to do so, determine whether
others have been injured and call an
ambulance. If you have been injured,
request medical attention.
• Do not admit fault. Refrain
from making statements that could be
interpreted as admissions of fault
to police, other driver(s), witnesses
and emergency responders. Be factual
about how the accident occurred.
• Exchange information
with other driver(s). Record
pertinent information from all individ-
uals involved including name, address,
telephone number and email address.
Determine who owns the other
vehicle(s) involved. Obtain insurance
information from the other driver(s)
including insurance company name,
telephone number and policy number.
• Obtain information from
witnesses. Obtain name, address,
telephone number, email address and
physical description of all witnesses. Determine what the witnesses
observed.
• Take photographs. Take
photographs of the accident scene
including the roadway and location of
vehicles. Note whether the vehicles
were moved after the accident. Also
photograph the property damage to
the vehicles and any other property
involved. If you do not have a cell
phone capable of taking photographs,
keep a disposable camera in your
vehicle.
• Do not post any information on social media. Refrain
from posting photographs or commentary about the accident on any
social media. If a lawsuit is filed about
the accident, social media information
is discoverable.
• Call your insurance company. Notify your insurance company of the accident, even if you are not
at fault. Be prepared to provide the
insurance company with information
about the accident, other driver(s)
and witnesses. Be aware your call may
be recorded.
• If you are on the job,
follow your employer’s procedures. Become aware of your
employer’s procedures for employee
involvement in automobile accidents
and follow those steps. Notify the
appropriate company representative
and cooperate in any investigation.
• Do not sign documents
without legal advice. Contact an
attorney if you are asked to sign any
document that could be interpreted
as a waiver of your rights. Such
documents include settlement agreements, releases and the endorsement
of a check made payable to you from
another driver or insurance company.

Hope for the
children
Lenten project raises funds for Freedom for Youth
By Michelle Chalkey
T
his Lenten season, Lutheran
Church of Hope Waukee
offers the opportunity for
individuals to deepen their faith
with activities and projects to help
them grow in areas such as prayer,
worship and service.
As a church family, Hope has
taken on a Lenten project called
Hope for the Children. During
the six-week season, all Lutheran
Church of Hope campuses are
attempting to raise funds for
Freedom for Youth, an inner-city
non-profit ministry aiming to reach
at-risk youth.
Hope Waukee’s ministry
coordinator Wendy Liskey says
Freedom for Youth has been one
of Lutheran Church of Hope’s local
mission partners for a number of
years.
“We support their efforts to
unite and empower Christian communities, like Hope, to reach young
people from kindergarten through
22 years old with programs that
help them stay in school, learn life
skills, prepare for the workplace
and develop healthy relationships,”
Liskey says.
Freedom for Youth provides
after-school tutoring services, job
training and meals. The ministry
also works to transition homeless
and at-risk youth away from a life
on the streets by providing residential services for post-high school
students.
Hope for the Children is an
attempt to raise funds to allow
Freedom for Youth to purchase a
property adjacent to their campus,
near the corner of Hickman Road
and Martin Luther King, in order to
build a youth center for approximately 250 elementary children.
Progressing to Holy Week and
Easter, Hope Waukee invites the
public to journey with them to the
cross, death and resurrection of
Jesus Christ. Holy Week services
at the Waukee location include:
Maundy Thursday services on
Thursday, March 24 at 5:30 p.m.
and 7 p.m.
Good Friday services on Friday,
March 25 at 5:30 p.m. and 7 p.m.
A family-friendly Easter service
on Saturday, March 26 at 5 p.m.
with kids’ Easter activities beginning
at 3:30 p.m.
Easter services on Sunday,
March 27 at 9 a.m. and 11 a.m.
Hope Waukee’s campus at its
new location of 305 N.E. Dartmoor
Drive currently hosts two Sunday
morning services at 9:15 a.m. and
11 a.m. with nursery and children’s
programming occurring during services.
For further information about
Hope Waukee services or Hope
for the Children, call the church
office at 515-850-1200 or email
[email protected]. n
It all began as an idea in 1986 at Drake University. Today that
idea is one of the most experienced technology companies in
the Midwest.
While students at Drake University, Greg Ryman and
some other top programmers started Access Customer
Programming. As the business expanded, the team decided
to change the name to Access Systems and combine all of the
services under one name.
Ryman was proud of the progress made, and the services
provided, by Access Systems. However he had another goal for
his career — to become an FBI special agent. The time seemed
right for his career change, but he also wanted to ensure that
Access would continue.
At the same time, Shane Sloan was looking to change
careers. He decided that he wanted to get into business for
himself and control his own destiny. The timing couldn’t have
been better for both Ryman and Sloan. Sloan found Access
through a business broker, and as Ryman went through the
interview process of potential buyers, a match was made in
2005.
Since then, Access has moved its headquarters to Waukee,
made nine acquisitions, four organic openings and added
more than 130 employees. In 2014, the Waukee headquarters
expanded and moved to a state-of-the-art, 45,000-square-foot
facility, where the Network Operations Center (NOC) was
expanded, and is expected to double in 2016. Since 2005,
Access has added telecommunication and print to its product
offerings, as well as become an authorized Sharp, Ricoh and
Konica Minolta dealer.
Most extraordinary of all, Access Systems has maintained
double-digit growth every year since 2005, averaging 36 percent year-over-year growth. This growth is not slowing down,
as it set a new record in 2015, ending with 44 percent growth
over the previous year.
When asked what has been his biggest challenge as a business owner, Sloan said, “Continuing to recruit and find top
talent to fill all of the different jobs that have been created due
to our growth.”
However, one of Access’s greatest successes has been
maintaining an extremely low turnover.
“It really goes to show how our culture supports our
employees and allows our employees to grow and move up
through the company,” says Sloan. n

www.iowalivingmagazines.com
teven Hobbs, 46, is the proud owner of a 2011 Harley Davidson
Blackline Softail motorcycle. It has a sleek and smooth style to
it that gets a lot of worthy attention wherever he rides. Hobbs
says he is more than ready to get his bike back on the road again and
start cruising around the city.
“I always wait until April to start riding again,” he says. “The
streets are cleaner then, and the weather has broken pretty good by
that time.”
Hobbs says he chose to buy this particular Harley because it
immediately caught his eye on the showroom floor. Also, it didn’t hurt
that it was painted in Harley Davidson colors.
“I had unfortunately wrecked my previous bike and decided to
go shopping for another one,” Hobbs says. “I saw this bike and just
really liked how it looked. I like the retro look that Harley Davidson
designed for that certain bike. The colors worked out great as well.”
Hobbs says he buys Harleys because they are American made and
great looking all the time.
“I try my best to buy everything American made, even my clothes,”
he says.
Riding around in the city is what Hobbs says is his favorite thing
to do. He could go on long distance rides anytime he wants to on his
bike but is satisfied with his own backyard, so to speak.
“The longest distance I have ridden my bike would be to
Conesville,” he says. “However, I really like cruising around the city,
and that is how my bike is set up best for me to enjoy.”
Hobbs says he can easily take in 100-mile rides in one day just
cruising around locally.
“I’m a city rider,” he says. “I have been riding a motorcycle since
I was 18 years old and still just like to be on my own city streets. My
girlfriend is happy with it, and so am I.” n

Cherry chocolate bars
Easy recipe is a sweet treat for the season

month of the year is Valentine’s Day, and we generally think of love, flowers,
cards and chocolate.
The recipe I am sharing this month has been a favorite of our family
for more than 30 years. It is very moist and incredibly easy to make, as the
cake part only requires four ingredients. The frosting tastes like fudge. Who
doesn’t like chocolate fudge?
If you want to reduce the amount of total sugar in the cake, you could
substitute no-sugar-added cherry pie filling for the full sugar counterpart. I
have always used a jellyroll pan to bake it, but if you want to dress it up
and make it elegant for a fancy dessert, bake in two 8-inch round, square
or heart-shaped pans. Sandwich whipped cream or some of the frosting
between the layers and spread the rest of the frosting on the top and sides.
Serve with a dollop of whipped cream and a cherry on top. I hope you enjoy
this recipe as much as we have over the years. n

ighth grade science teacher
Shane Hammond wasn’t considering a career in teaching when he graduated from the
University of Iowa with a degree
focused on pre-medicine and biology. He was planning to attend
Des Moines University to become
a doctor. But an immediate job
offer in vaccine development was
appealing and changed his course
of direction.
After going into research, the
company Hammond worked for
was bought out and moved out
of state. Hammond’s wife then
signed him up for education classes at Iowa State University where
he completed his teaching certificate.
“I student taught at Des
Moines Lincoln and got hired
there,” he says.
After working at Lincoln for
17 years, Hammond moved to the
Waukee school district in 2008 at
the urging of colleagues.
He says his biggest goal is for
students to hone their critical
thinking skills.
“As a man of science, I am
shocked at the level of ignorance
that is directing public discourse
and policy,” he says. “I tell my
students that teachers of these
people have failed in their duty,
and others are using ignorance to

further their own self interest.”
Hammond’s students have
honed their critical thinking skills
to understand plate tectonics and
to produce amazing projects in
class. His eighth graders recently
completed a children’s story that
condenses the history of Earth.
“I know I am biased, but I
assure you that it is an amazing
product,” Hammond says.
He also feels his career shift
was the right pursuit.
“This is the greatest blessing
that ever happened,” he says. “In
research, a day lasted a week. A
day lasts about two hours with
these guys. They make a day go so
fast.” n

toward its right wing at the front.
Soft light washes into the high-ceilinged foyer
through sidelights and a trio of arched transoms.
Double doors on the left open into a interestingly
shaped parlor. Wide shelves flank a gas fireplace (one
of four), and wide windows face the front.
Passing under two display shelves brings you into
a spacious great room with a stepped ceiling. Light
washes into this bright area through an angled rear wall
with a wealth of windows. Cabinets on both sides of
the fireplace could house a home entertainment center.
Standing at the kitchen sink, you can keep tabs on
happenings in the great room, as well as the bayed dining area. Other kitchen amenities include a raised conversation bar, walk-in pantry and built-in appliances. A
mini powder room is nearby, as is an extra-large utility
room, which links to the four-car garage.
The Huntsville’s posh owners’ suite boasts a gas
fireplace and two roomy walk-in closets, plus a skylit
bathroom with a luxurious spa tub, walk-in shower and
private toilet. The other ground-floor bedroom has
direct access to another bathroom.
A third bedroom and bathroom are upstairs, along
with a large vaulted room that could be used as a fourth
bedroom, home office, studio, or whatever suits. It has
its own fireplace and deck.

WHERE WE LIVE
Bruce and Patty Wagner relax in their favorite spot: a restaurant-style booth located
in the kitchen. Photo submitted.
Living with nature
Rural Waukee couple has an outdoor oasis
By Jackie Wilson
W
hen Patty and Bruce Wagner look
outside at their neighbors in their
rural development in Waukee,
they tend to see more four-legged friends than
those with just two legs.
Those friends roaming outside their home
consist of deer, fox and coyotes; as well as
eagles and owls. Patty says the wildlife is interesting to observe.
“We’ve witnessed some remarkable and
unexpected behavior — like a doe that spanked
its misbehaving fawn,” Patty says.
The wooded acreage was the big draw
when they built their custom home in 2005.
Their home consists of many sunny rooms due
to stepped-back exterior walls that allow for
windows in multiple directions. A raised dishwasher aids with chores and kitchen appliances
are hidden, covered with paneling.
A great room with an open floor design
helps when they host their combined 12 brothers and sisters. With all their extended family,
including nieces, nephews and spouses, there is
usually enough room to congregate in one area.
Built-in window seats are a favorite spot to sit
and soak up the sun.
One unique feature that both Patty and
Bruce enjoy is a restaurant-style booth that is
tucked in the kitchen and overlooks the sunken
great room.
Bruce says it was his idea for the booth,
which they purchased at a foodservice equipment business in Des Moines.
“When we go to a restaurant, we prefer
sitting in a booth, rather than a table,” says
Bruce.
The booth was also Patty’s dad’s favorite
seat in the house, since he used to own a café
in Clear Lake. He felt right at home.
“When my dad was alive, he’d come in and
head straight for the booth. Then he’d want to
know where his cup of coffee was,” says Patty.
One of their favorite weekend pastimes is
listening to live band music — preferably classic
rock and roll.
“Our favorite local band is The Sons of
Gladys Kravitz, and we like it when they play at
Kenny’s Pub in Waukee,” says Patty.
Both Bruce and Patty enjoy the short
15-minute commute to their jobs. They appreciate the nearby grocery stores, shops and
restaurants — where, of course, when dining
out — they sit in a booth. n

INSURANCE
Sharing economy more popular than ever
Understand the benefits and risks involved
By Josh Heisterkamp
T
he concept of “sharing economy” is becoming more popular than ever. Companies
like Uber, Lyft and Sidecar allow
people to utilize their own vehicles
to provide a ride service similar to
a taxi service. Similarly, there are
now homeowners renting out their
properties to vacationers via companies such as Airbnb and VRBO. The
concept continues to grow and gain
acceptance as many people enjoy
the convenience. For those of you
who are considering providing these
services there are benefits and risks
involved.
• Ride-sharing services:
Providing transportation for others
in your car.
Advantages
Flexibility: Drivers can choose
which fares to accept and work as
much or as little as they like.
Accountability: Services
allow drivers to rate their riders.
Also, customers must create an
account with personal information
to request a ride. So, unlike a taxi,
each ride can be traced to a specific
customer.
Extra income: Some drivers
are full-time, some drive around their
regular work or school schedules or
drive for extra income during retirement.
Disadvantages
Risk: Income can be irregular, and
drivers may have limited or no access
to programs and benefits, such as
worker’s compensation. Services
typically have liability insurance when
transporting a passenger. Your personal auto policy might not cover
you, for example, if you get in a crash
after dropping the passenger off.
Legal considerations: The
legality of the services are in question. Cities have actually cited drivers
for operating an illegal taxi service.
Cost: Repair costs from the
wear and tear on your car.
• Home-sharing services:
Renting out a room or your home.
Advantages
Flexibility: Depending on the service you use to list your property,
you have control over which visitors
and when you allow them.
Extra income: Renting out
vacation properties/extra rooms
generates extra income.
Disadvantages
Financial risk: Most homeowners
policies and renters policies don’t
cover significant commercial activity,
which could hurt you if your guests
cause damage, steal something, sustain an injury or participate in illegal
acts.
Safety: There’s no way around
it — they are strangers in your
home, which carries a safety risk.
Fees: Part of what the customer pays goes to the listing company.
LSB Insurance is experienced
and able to help you understand the
potential risks from an insurance perspective on these sharing economy
opportunities.

FINANCE
Avoid these estate planning mistakes
By Matt Stahr
M
any people plan their
estates diligently, with
input from legal, tax and
financial professionals. Others plan
earnestly, but make mistakes that
can affect both the transfer and
destiny of family wealth. Here are
some common and not-so-common errors to avoid:
• Doing it all yourself.
While you could write your own
will or create one from a template,
it can be risky to do. Take Warren
Burger. The former Chief Justice of
the United States wrote his own will,
just 176 words long. It proved flawed
— after he died, his heirs wound up
paying more than $450,000 in estate
taxes and other fees, costs that likely
could have been avoided with a less
informal will.1
• Failing
to
update
your will or trust after a
life event. Any life event should
prompt you to review your will,
trust or other estate planning documents. So should a life event affecting one of your beneficiaries.
• Appointing a co-trustee. Trust administration is not for
everyone. Some people lack the
interest, time or understanding it
requires. Others balk at the responsibility and potential liability involved.
• Being too vague with
your heirs about your estate
plan. While you may not want to
explicitly reveal who will get what,
your heirs should have an understanding of the intentions at the
heart of your estate planning. If you
want to distribute more of your
wealth to one child than another,
write a letter to be presented after
your death that explains your reasoning. If your family has concerns,
this may go a long way toward
reducing squabbles and the possibility of legal costs eating up some of
this or that heir’s inheritance.
• Leaving a trust unfunded (or underfunded). Through
a simple, one-sentence title change,
a married couple can fund a revocable trust with their primary residence. As an example, if a couple
retitles their home from “Heather
and Michael Smith, Joint Tenants
with Rights of Survivorship”
to “Heather and Michael Smith,
Trustees of the Smith Revocable
Trust dated (month) (day), (year),”
they are free to retitle myriad
other assets in the trust’s name.1
The best estate plans are clear
in their language, their intentions,
and updated as life events demand.
They are overseen through the
years with care and scrutiny,
reflecting the magnitude of the
transfer of significant wealth.

HEALTH
LIBRARY NEWS
Q: I thought chiropractic
only helped with back pain.
Is this true?
A: I hear this statement a lot. It’s true; we do see many people with back
pain. Chiropractic does an amazing job helping people find relief from a sore
back. By adjusting the spine and removing pressure off the spinal nerves,
our body restores its normal energy and tone. This relaxes muscles and
decreases pain. The most amazing thing about chiropractic is that it can
help with so much more. Here are a few of things we’ve helped in my office
recently that have nothing to do with back pain:
Colic, blood pressure, lower triglycerides and cholesterol, weight loss,
dropping body fat percentage, watery eye, ankle sprain, ear infection, TMJ
syndrome, acid reflux, not sleeping well, low energy levels, blindness in one
eye, torticollis (spasm of neck muscle in an infant), bed wetting, carpal tunnel,
plantar fasciitis, hormone problems, blood sugar and glucose levels, irritable
bowel syndrome, constipation, overall stress, asthma and hearing loss.
I’m not saying that chiropractic is a cure for all these problems. But by
improving the function of the nervous system and making the necessary
lifestyle changes, these problems can be helped without drugs or surgery.
If you know someone who is suffering needlessly or dependent on their
medications for relief, find a chiropractor to help them on a new path to
health. n

Tasty, inexpensive solution

t’s 6 p.m. on a Wednesday
night, and it’s sleeting outside.
You know this because you just
spent the last 15 minutes scraping your car windows with an old
credit card and discovering that
your newest boots are definitely
not waterproof. Dreaming of dry
clothes and the beef stew you put
in the slow cooker this morning,
you hop on 235 and race toward
home at a brisk 15 mph. As you
attempt to maneuver your frozen
feet closer to the defroster, your
significant other calls — you forgot to turn on the slow cooker
this morning.
Now, you have two options:

you don’t poison the family, or go
to Tsing Tsao.
Friends, do everyone a favor;
do not choose option one.
Tsing Tsao is an engaging restaurant offering both dine in and
carryout options. This month my
husband and I decided to test their
takeout quality by ordering carryout lunch specials, so that I’d know
whether it really is the solution to
a bad, slushy day. Turns out it is.
Each of our lunch specials
came with our choice of soup as
well as an egg roll and one crab
rangoon. While we waited for
our carryout order, we decided
to indulge in our soup appetizer.
I had a steaming cup of egg drop
soup, while my husband enjoyed
the hot and sour soup. Both soups
were deliciously flavored and hit
that elusive “hot-but-not-too-hot”
mark. It was wonderful way to
start off our meal.
Later at home my husband
dined on the Szechuan chicken.
The meal was sweet and savory
without being spicy. I enjoyed the
www.iowalivingmagazines.com
moo goo gai pan. This chicken and
vegetable dish is a simple but great
choice, particularly if you’re dining
with a friend or family member
who needs to eat gluten free.
Each entrée came with its
respective sides inside one container, making reheating the separate meals a snap. Considering
how well it tasted at home, I have
no doubt that dining in would be
even more delicious.
The real steal? We walked
away with all of that food for less
than $15. I don’t know about you,
but with Tsing Tsao as a fallback
option, I might start “forgetting”
to turn the slow cooker on a little
more often. n
