from the
Dear Country Club Residents,
As you know, most of the months on our calendar have 30 or 31
days, but February is shorter and the calendar most of the world
uses today is the Gregorian. February has 28 days this year as
though it is not a leap year. It’s my understanding that back in the
day, Julius Caesar gave the month 29 and 30 days every four years.
This was due to the Roman emperor Augustus, who took one day
from February and added that to August (because August was a
month that was named after him.) Hmmm…I suppose one can
do that if a month is named after him or her. In any case, we also
celebrate Valentine’s Day on the 14th, Abraham Lincoln’s birthday
on the 16th and George Washington’s birthday 22nd.
Valentine’s Day actually has some pretty interesting facts about
it…probably too many to cover in this space, though. In the
United States we typically celebrate this day with cards and
candy which is really pretty nice…especially the candy part.
However you celebrate the day, make it a great one by expressing your love to those closest to you. I will, simply as a reminder of something I often take for granted.
Don’t forget to keep sending in those pictures and stories. I’m
happy to include them in the upcoming issues.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Sincerely,
Thomas F. (Tom) Fitzgibbons

Product specifications- A huge
part of moldings is understanding what the moldings
are comprised of. Medium
density fiber board ( MDF),
varying wood species and
plaster are the most popular
products. Finger jointed trim
pieces are several short wood
pieces that have been glued
together to create one longer
piece. These pieces are generally less costly and best utilized
for ceiling crown. However, in
an application where several
cuts will need to be made,
this can create an issue if you
would decide to make a cut at
one of these finger joints.
Home Matters
By Paula Schnoor - Comes | Country Club Resident
W ood T rim M olding B asics
Selecting the right molding on top of cabinets, light rail for under cabinets or
applied to walls is an art form. It is something that needs to be considered carefully
when designing your space. There are so many options available at your hardware
store and on-line it can be overwhelming. It is helpful to know the four basics.
Scale – You want to select a trim piece that
is appropriately sized for the application.
For instance, a ½” scribe molding would
look miniscule on top of a 42” wall cabinet.
If it was used to hide the space where wall
cabinets meet the wall it would appropriately blend right in instead of being an
accent piece. Designers often will stack
pieces of trim in order to increase the size
of scale in certain applications. I use a
special molding box in my design office
to demonstrate to customers how stacked
trim pieces will look in the field.
Style- Style is also an important aspect
to think about. Dentil molding on a
non-traditional house like a southwestern style home would look odd, but it
would look right at home on a salt box
or colonial style home. Shaker and
Craftsman style cabinets would have a
cove style molding for an accent piece.
Installation application- For
most molding detail an air
compressor with a pin nailer
or a micro pin nailer is the
tool of choice. To cut molding, a compound miter saw
is utilized with special stops. Such
items like crown are not cut on a true
45 degree angle instead they are cut
at 38-39 degrees. A handy tool called
digital angle finder can help properly
measure interior, exterior, acute and
obtuse angles. At each joint wood glue
is applied and the excess is sanded or
wiped off prior to staining or painting.
Anyone who has ever attempted to install
crown knows, it is not for the weekend
trim warrior. It takes some practice and
patience, but with a little of both you can
mega-trim your own house!
If you have molding questions you want
answered please feel free to contact me at
[email protected].

Musings
A Resident’s Perspective:
A Perfect Month
I want you to take a moment to yourself. Deep breath in, deep
breath out. No, don’t think about your doctor’s office and the inevitable awkwardness of whatever encounters that may await you.
Focus on the steady breaths in and out and clear your mind. Now is
the time you can think about your yoga instructor guiding your respiration and your serene disposition. Mind empty? Now, imagine
the perfect month. You needn’t work too hard—it has arrived. This
February, not just any February, it’s the perfect month. Just look at
the calendar. You’ll soon see the perfect symmetry and evenness of
the four weeks, twenty-eight days. There is something so satisfying
about seeing the balanced grid of the month. However, that is not
the only satisfying element of February 2015.
This February kicks off with the Super Bowl. The very first day
of this wondrous month happens to include the biggest sports
day on the American calendar. We have the opportunity to
start the month with tailgating foods, team rivalries, inevitable
screaming at the television, a heavily critiqued half-time show,
and amazing commercials. Can you get any better than that?
Well, maybe. Groundhog Day follows on the heels of the
Super Bowl, but how many people really look forward to
Punxsutawney Phil’s prediction? Two weeks later, Valentine’s
Day is there to deeply excite or thoroughly disappoint you—
11
hopefully former. The lovey-dovey day can be a fun time to
gush over loved ones, spoil each other, and spend time specifically set aside to work together as couples.
Only two days later is President’s Day! Rejoice! The day we can
recall all the great things our presidents have done to make our
country as it is today and reflect on our favorites. Franklin Pierce,
anyone? No, I’m just kidding. Pierce was terrible. I’m much more
partial to William Henry Harrison. Any history buffs out there?
Take a minute to chuckle to yourself…I’ll wait. But really, President’s Day is frequently a much-needed day off for hardworking
people. For those of you who do not have the day off, I am sincerely
sorry; I’ll be thinking of you as I sit on my couch eating bon-bons.
The day after President’s Day is Mardi Gras—literally a day dedicated to getting fat. My kind of day. With beads flying, pancakes
flipping, and parties raging, Mardi Gras is sure to be a fun day to
add to the icing on the cake that is February. (Let’s just ignore the
day after Mardi Gras—deal?) And with the Chinese New Year
a few days later, I mean how much fun can you pack into one
month!? Okay, yes, I might have smudged the ending a bit, but I
am excited for this month, so I just had to share it! Have a merry
February everybody, and a very happy Chinese New Year.

Didyou know?
By Neil Shultz - Country Club Resident
Interesting Facts…
You may have heard people talk about Rider Corner which is
commonly referred to as the corner where I 35/80 turns to the
south at Highway 141, but...
Did you know...
In the early 1900's, there was a small town named Rider or
Ryder depending on the source. In 1923, Rider's population
was just 12. Rider Corner was a small shopping area. At one
time, there were two grocery stores, a creamery and a post office
all of which mainly served area farmers. T he post office was
only open from 1900 until 1905.
There was also a coal mine called the Rider Mine, which was
located about 110th and Meredith. The pallet company on Meredith was built on land near the railroad that ran through Rider.
So Rider Corner was much more than a corner on the interstate.

Society who helped me with the research.

André Watts/Piano
Where: Drake University - Sheslow Auditorium in Old Main, 2507
University Ave., Des Moines, IA When: 7:30pm
André Watts burst upon the music world at the age of 16 when
Leonard Bernstein chose him to make his debut with the New
York Philharmonic in their Young People’s Concerts, broadcast
nationwide on CBS-TV. Only two weeks later, Bernstein asked
him to substitute at the last minute for the ailing Glenn Gould
in performances of Liszt’s E-flat Concerto with the New York
Philharmonic, thus launching his career in storybook fashion.
More than 50 years later, André Watts remains one of today’s
most celebrated and beloved superstars.
