all officially begins this year on Wednesday, Sept. 23. But for many
of us, it starts much earlier. You know the series of events. The
Iowa State Fair is complete. The school buses are picking up and
dropping off kids. The lights from the Friday night football games are
shining bright. The orange leaves begin to cover the browning grass. And
you have to reach for a sweater to take off the evening chill. That’s when
most of us truly feel the new season.
Speaking of leaves, do you ever wonder why they change their color each
fall? The first part of that answer is that
not all leaves turn colors in the fall.
Only a few species of deciduous trees
produce those remarkable colors, most
notably maple, aspen, oak and gum. The
second part of the answer, and the one
you were looking for, is a number of
factors including temperature, precipitation, soil moisture and, most significantly, light (or actually the lack of it). Keep
in mind that if freezing temperatures or
a hard frost hit, the color-changing process within the leaf can come to a halt.
But let’s not talk about that quite yet.
Did you know that people change this time of year, too? Yes,
those of us with summer tans start to see our skin color fade, but we
also change inside. Our attitudes change. Our behaviors change. And
our outlook changes. Whether we realize it or not, those of us in the
Midwest start physically and mentally preparing for the cold weather
ahead of us. It is a “nesting” of sorts, a way that we slowly start getting
accustomed to the change of seasons.
That’s why I enjoy fall festivals. They are one last hurrah of the
warmer weather, one last time to celebrate outdoors as a group, one
last glimpse of the season that so many of us enjoy. We are fortunate
to have one of the greatest fall festivals right here in town — whether it
fits perfectly in the “official” fall calendar or not. Look inside for all the
details on the Beaverdale Fall Festival, which takes place Sept. 18 and 19.
And then hand me a sweater. Now where did I put that rake?

FALL
Festival!
BEAVERDALE RESIDENTS PREPARE
FOR ANNUAL CELEBRATION
The Beaverdale Fall Festival will be Sept. 18 and 19 and feature musical entertainment, rides, a parade, car cruise and more. Theresa Graziano, president of the festival committee,
stands outside of GoodSons, which will host live music both nights of the event.
By Melissa Walker
T
he addition of a car cruise, street games
and horse rides, plus the ribbon cutting
to celebrate the end of the years-long
Beaverdale Streetscape project, await residents
at this year’s Beaverdale Fall Festival.
This year’s fall festival is Sept. 18 and 19
and takes place in the heart of the Beaverdale
neighborhood along Beaver Avenue from
Beaver Crest north to Adams Avenue and on
Urbandale Avenue east and west to the first
median. It includes musical performances and
other entertainment — a parade, rides and
4

food, craft and product vendors. Neighborhood
bars and restaurants have live music during the
two-day event.
A new car cruise will be from 6-8 p.m. Sept.
18 in the south end of the parking lot of Michael’s
Pizza. Street games such as a large Jenga game, a
princess and a super hero in costume and maybe
a Big Wheel’s race will take place that night on
the south side of Urbandale Avenue.
There will be no fireworks at this year’s
event. Initially, there was not going to be fireworks at last year’s festival, but the developer
of the former Rice School site was delayed in
breaking ground for the residential construction
project, so fireworks could be set off from the
site.
“Friday night without fireworks, we needed something to draw people,” says Theresa
Graziano, who has served as Beaverdale Fall
Festival committee president since 2005.
“We’ve never had a whole lot for young kids.”
Jeni Green and her husband, Bob, are
Beaverdale business owners and hosts of the car
cruise. Another committee member came up
FEATURE
with the idea for a car show, and Jeni jumped on
the idea because she and Bob are car enthusiasts
and each have a Corvette — hers is a 2005 convertible; his is a 1999 fixed roof coupe.
The Greens participate in many car cruises throughout the Des Moines area. The
Beaverdale cruise is for classic, muscle and late
model cars, or anyone who has a car that is fun
and interesting. It’s free to participate.
“We’re excited to think we could organize
one and get some really nice cars into the
Beaverdale area for the Fall Festival,” Jeni says.
Organizers are calling it a car cruise because
vehicles will come and go. Cars can start to
arrive at 5:45 p.m. and enter from the south at
the barricade on Beaver Crest Drive. There’s
only space for 54 cars, so if people want to
make sure they get in, they need to come early,
Green says.
“Bring your car and expect a good time,”
she says.
Anyone with questions can call Green
Family Flooring at 255-2600.
Festival designed to celebrate
neighborhood dates back to the 1980s
The Beaverdale Fall Festival started more than
25 years ago. Merchants in the area created
a fall festival that had sidewalk sales, carnival
rides, music, a parade and more. The event
had an Octoberfest theme and was known
as Beaverdale Days. Cold weather forced the
event to be moved to September. It was later
renamed the Beaverdale Fall Festival.
Holy Trinity Catholic Church had also
hosted an annual celebration in September at
the time. In the 1980s, church leaders and the
Beaverdale business community decided to
combine their efforts into the single weekend of
the fall festival.
Festival committee members meet in
October to discuss the next year’s event.
Planning for the next festival begins in February.
Attendance was up last year. Organizers
guestimate how many attend by counting carnival ticket sales. The festival stayed busy until it
closed at 11 p.m., and people stayed late — the
streets were full of people, walking around and
talking.
“Our attendance was great last year,”
Graziano says. “We just keep hoping for good
weather because that makes all of the difference.”
Festival will celebrate the end of
streetscape project
This year’s Beaverdale Fall Festival will celebrate
the finish of the business district’s streetscape
improvement project, which is scheduled to
be completed by the weekend of the festival
or before.
The ribbon cutting is at 1:30 p.m. Saturday

at the intersection of Beaver and Urbandale
Avenues. There will be a short ceremony with
members of the business community and the
Fall Festival committee in attendance.
Even if there’s a little construction work still
ongoing, Graziano says festival organizers will
work with it and make the festival the best it can
be, just as they did last year when construction
forced street closures and inspired committee
members to create the tagline “Can you dig
it?” showing a beaver wearing a hardhat with a
shovel.
Each year a Fall Festival logo is designed
and put on T-shirts and other commemorative items. The 2015 items will be on sale at
the Beaverdale Neighborhood Association/Fall
Festival booth. Bob Zimmerman, a neighborhood resident, along with festival committee
member Kate Ross, designed the logo for this
year’s event, which features three beavers with
the words “Food,” “Friends” and “Fun.”
This year there will be T-shirts, key chains,
koozies and peel-able decals, along with hoodies that are still available from the 2013 festival.
Items also are being sold every other week at
the Beaverdale Farmers Market, which takes
place from 4:30-7:30 p.m. on Tuesdays at
Boesen’s Field on Beaver Avenue.
Two-day event kicks off Friday night,
continues Saturday with parade
The festival starts on Friday evening. The streets
are closed at 4 p.m., and vendors start setting up
so they can be ready as soon as people begin to
arrive after work. Rides begin operation about
5 p.m. for the carnival, and all other activities

and vendors should be ready to go about that
same time.
The festival continues into Saturday. Holy
Trinity Catholic Church and School will sell
breakfast burritos and homemade cinnamon
rolls from their food stand.
The parade begins at 10 a.m. Its 1.7-mile
route starts at First Federated Church, 4801
Franklin Ave., and goes east on Franklin to
Beaver Avenue, and then north on Beaver to
Euclid Avenue. There are usually more than 100
entries that range from area schools, Girl Scouts,
the Isiserettes Drill and Drum Corps and veterans. About 30,000 people watch the parade,
which lasts until about 11:45 a.m. or noon.
Bill Stowe, the chief executive officer and
general manager of Des Moines Water Works,
will serve as this year’s parade marshal. He was
nominated by a committee member.
The deadline for parade entries is Sept.
11. Both the application and $50 fee must be
received by that date. Those who want to be in
the parade can contact Graziano at gtam33@
yahoo.com, or go to the festival website: www.
fallfestival.org.
On Saturday, there will be horse rides, live
music at restaurants throughout Beaverdale and
a teen dance with open mic.
Beaverdale businesses will host musical
entertainment and offer specials for those who
are attending the festival.
Bands play both Friday and Saturday nights
at Holy Trinity, GoodSons, Saints Pub + Patio
and Christopher’s Restaurant. Each restaurant
or bar is in charge of hiring its own band or
bands for the weekend’s festivities.
Food vendors are located along Urbandale
Avenue on both the east and west sides. The
craft fair will be back on Saturday in the Ace
Hardware parking lot. It features handmade
works by local people that include crafters and
emerging artists. There also will be product
vendors such as those who sell Tupperware
and other items that they distribute through a
company.
Anyone who would like to be a vendor
can contact Denise Mernka at 255-6895 or
[email protected]. Information and the application are available online at the festival’s website:
www.fallfestival.org.
Saturday’s festivities take place until 10 p.m.
Regardless of how late the party goes, the festival committee and members of the Beaverdale
Beautification Committee are back out at the
OPEN
HOUSE!
site early Sunday morning to clean up the area
and make sure no trash was left behind. A local
Boy Scout troop cleans up after the parade, and
other volunteers help keep the area tidy during
the festival.
The Fall Festival basically pays for itself.
There is a lot of expense involved in paying for
barricades and the street closures, police patrol,
having the streets cleaned and for all of the
items the committee has to rent for the event.
Last year the event made money, and, in
keeping with tradition, that money was given
back to local schools.
Part of the festival is paid for by the “Beaver
Brigade,” a fun yard competition in which little
plastic beaver cutouts are placed in a resident’s
yard. This is the fourth year the committee has
organized the event. Residents can pay to have
the beavers removed from their yard and placed
in another resident’s yard. The brigade can stay
in place anywhere from a few days to a couple
of weeks if residents don’t pay to have them
removed.
“It’s already happening,” Graziano says. As
of Aug. 4, the beavers had already found a home
in at least 10 yards throughout the Beaverdale
area. Q

LEGAL
Holding title to real estate
The difference in joint tenancy and tenancy in common
By Charlotte Sucik, attorney, Abendroth and Russell Law Firm
O
ur firm often sees errors
in deeds that create problems for owners of real
estate. There are two ways of holding title to real estate in Iowa: joint
tenancy and tenancy in common.
Joint tenancy is a form of ownership where all of the owners
hold title together. Joint tenancy
has a right of survivorship; when
one owner dies, the interest is
extinguished and the other owners assume the ownership. Usually,
all that is required is to record an
affidavit reciting that one owner
died and that title is vested in the
remaining owners.
Tenancy in common is a form
of ownership where each owner
holds an undivided interest in the
property. Unlike joint tenancy,
the interest of a tenant in common doesn’t terminate upon death.
When the owner dies, the interest
passes to the decedent’s estate.
Often, it is necessary to probate
the decedent’s estate to move an
undivided interest to heirs.
The problem arises because,
until recently, Iowa law presumed
tenancy in common. If a married
couple took title as John Doe and
Jane Doe, without the phrase “as
joint tenants with full rights of
survivorship and not as tenants in
common,” then they each own 50
percent of the property. If John
dies, his estate would have to be
probated so that the court could
approve the transfer of half of
the property to his heirs. This is
frustrating if that heir is Jane, his
surviving spouse. The failure to
create joint tenancy at the time the
property was purchased creates a
problem that can only be solved
through the timely and expensive
probate process.
On July 1, 2014, Iowa Code
557.15 was changed fix this issue.
For all deeds executed after Jan. 1,
2015, if the grantees are married,
it creates a presumption of joint
tenancy, not tenancy in common.
The new law is designed to
prevent the probate of a deceased
spouse’s estate in order to convey
half a house. However, the law is
prospective — it applies only to
deeds executed on or after Jan. 1,
2015. This does not fix older deeds
with incorrect vesting language. It is
important that you understand the
differences in types of ownership so
that you can ensure that you hold
title to your property correctly. Q

Considering home
improvements?
Out-of-the-ordinary upgrades can enhance value
From Jan Stehl, Iowa Realty
P
erhaps your home is in
pretty good shape — newish roof, well-maintained
furnace and air conditioning, and
fresh paint throughout. Or maybe
you’ve bought a brand-new house
that’s move-in ready. Even though
you don’t really need to do a thing
to the home, you may still have the
urge to update. But what can you
do when everything is already just
about perfect?
Engaging in some out-of-theordinary upgrades can enhance a
home’s livability, your enjoyment
of it and — in some cases — its
resale value down the road. Before
you settle on an upgrade, ask yourself these key questions:
;MPP MX MQTVSZI XLI LSQI´W
livability?
;MPP MX MQTVSZI XLI LIEPXLfulness or security of the home
environment?
-W MX E WTIGMEP JIEXYVI XLEX
appeals to your lifestyle?
,S[ HMJJMGYPXIEW] [MPP MX FI

(SIW MX LEZI LMHHIR HSPPEV
value?
Here are some out-of-theordinary improvements that can
increase enjoyment of a home
while adding value:
Skylights
Skylights are a surprisingly affordable upgrade, and it’s easy to see
the lifestyle benefits they bring,
including their ability to make both
small and large areas seem even
larger.
Skylights differentiate a home’s
appearance while significantly
increasing the amount of natural
light that enters a room — a huge
bonus in spaces where wall windows aren’t practical or desirable,
such as master closets or baths
8
where privacy is paramount. Some
also provide passive ventilation
that improves indoor air quality.
Fresh-air skylights operate with a
programmable touch pad remote
control that also manages energy
efficiency-boosting accessories like
blinds. Solar powered skylights and
blinds, along with installation costs,
are eligible for a 30 percent federal
tax credit.
Swimming pool
The value of a swimming pool is
subjective, so the most important
questions to answer are whether
a pool will fit your lifestyle and
if you’ll be up to maintaining it.
Pools can be a great way to relax
or get in some exercise, bond with
the kids or enjoy play time with
friends.
Sunroom
A sunroom won’t improve your
home’s energy efficiency the way a
skylight can, but if the home has a
great view or you relish communing with nature, a sunroom can
help boost your mood.
When you’re considering
upgrading a home, keep in mind
that resale value isn’t the only consideration. It’s equally important
that the upgrades make sense for
the home and your lifestyle. Q

H
ow many times have you
driven or walked by the
intersection of Forest
and Beaver Avenues? You may
have noticed St. Luke’s Episcopal
Church that sits back of the street.
But have you ever wondered who
goes there? Or maybe you’ve
thought to yourself, “What do
they believe in? What are they all
about?”
We do the usual church things
like Sunday services, Bible study
on Wednesday and Sunday and
fulfilling our mission of enlarging the Kingdom of God, but St.
Luke’s is also so much more.
Our neighborhood and community is an important ongoing
mission for St. Luke’s, and we
are involved in many activities to
reflect that. Throughout the year
we prepare and help serve dinners for the homeless at Central
Iowa Shelter and Services. We
are also very passionate about
our Backpack Buddies program.
Some children at King and Monroe
Elementary have trouble getting
nutritious meals during the weekend, so we help out by providing backpacks filled with healthy
and easy-ready meals. We come
together one Saturday a month
during the school year to put
these meals together. Drake
University students have also routinely helped.
With all these activities going
on you might think that we are a
pretty serious bunch, but have you
been asked lately “Would you like
a hug; it’s free?” There is a group at
St. Luke’s affectionately known as
the “St. Luke’s Huggers.” You may
have seen us at the Beaverdale
Farmers Market with our T-shirts
that say “Free Hugs.” Come and
get your free hug Sunday, Sept. 27
when DSMove is sponsoring Open
Streets. University Avenue will
be closed to traffic from 23rd to
41st Streets so people can come
out and get to know their neighbors by bicycling, dancing and, yes,
even hugging. St. Luke’s will have a
canopy where several groups that
use the church will demonstrate
their interests and activities.
Community near and far is
important to St. Luke’s, especially
since our pastor is also a chaplain
in the National Guard. St. Luke’s
holds services at Camp Dodge
four times a year. The next service
will be on Oct. 18 at 8 a.m. All are
welcome; simply go through the
main gates on 70th Street. You’ll
need a current ID to enter Camp
Dodge. Contact St. Luke’s at 2770875 for a map, if you need it.
A few months back, the
people of St. Luke’s were asked
to write down what the church
meant to them. The responses
were heartfelt and beautiful, but
the one word that we saw over
and over again was home. We feel
that St. Luke’s is our home, and
when we walk through the doors
to our church, it’s like walking
in the front door of our house.
Please join us on Sunday either at
8 or 10 a.m. and come home. Q

A: Free weights and weight machines
are both designed to increase your
muscular strength. Weight machines
only allow movement in one plane
and tend to isolate major muscles
to perform the movement. Free
weights, such as dumbbells and barbells, allow movement in all three
planes. This requires you to use
more muscles to balance and stabilize yourself than you would with
a machine. Both free weights and
weight machines can be part of a
good resistance training routine, as
long as you are using a weight sufficient to fatigue the muscles within
your set and rep range.
Q: I have a stress fracture in my
foot, but I don’t remember injuring
myself. What could have caused
this?
A: Stress fractures are tiny cracks in
the bone caused by repetitive movements by a greater amount of force
than the bones of your feet and
lower legs normally bear. Moderate
exercise is great for your bones,
but doing more than your skeletal
system can handle overwhelms its
natural cycle of growth and repair.
Stress fractures can heal within a
few weeks with active rest. Swim or
ride a stationary bike and avoid any
weight bearing and jumping activities in order to speed up the healing
process. When your physician has
cleared you, resume your normal
activity slowly and gradually. Follow
the 10 percent rule: Increase your
exercise time or distance by no
more than 10 percent each week to
keep your body safe.
Q: How do I figure out my resting heart rate, and what is a typical
range for adults?
A: A typical resting heart rate for an
adult ranges from 60 to 100 beats
per minute. Your resting heart rate
is an indicator of the fitness of your
cardiac muscles. At rest, your heart
rate signifies the heart pumping the
lowest amount of blood you need
to sustain minimal activity. To find
your true resting heart rate, you
would need to have someone watch
you sleep and observe your lowest
heart rate during deep rest. As you
can imagine, this is very difficult to
do. Instead, to track and utilize this
valuable information, most practitioners suggest finding your pulse and
counting the number of heartbeats
in a minute as soon as you wake
up and while still lying in bed. The
best places to find your pulse are
the wrists, inside of your elbow and
side of your neck. Press your index
and middle finger lightly into one of
these areas and count the beat of
your heart. You will obtain a better
measurement if you wake naturally
(e.g. no alarm). If you track your
heart rate over time, you will begin
to find your average resting heart
rate. This number should go down
as you become more fit. Q

NEWS BRIEF
WHERE WE LIVE
Work begins on Freedom Blend Coffee Cabin
Freedom for Youth Ministries (FFYM) held a groundbreaking event of the
Freedom Blend Coffee Cabin (FBCC) on Friday, Aug. 21. The new coffee shop will be constructed at a site just west of the Des Moines FFYM
campus on 2301 Hickman Road.
“The Freedom Blend Coffee Cabin will change the lives of the kids
that we work with in the Des Moines inner city area as well as generations
to come; giving them dignity, employment and an understanding of work
ethic,” says Denise Juhl, the director of young adult ministry at FFYM.

Transitioning
into retirement
IT’S A
LIFESTYLE
Set your goals and make a financial plan
By Susan Ray, executive director, The Reserve
M
ost people work the
majority of their adult
lives. The money that is
earned enables us to have our
basic needs met and then some.
At a certain point during your
working life, you look beyond the
basics and are able to start saving
some of your paycheck. You also
start to build a professional team
to assist in guiding and directing you. The team may include
a financial advisor, banker, an
attorney and your partner, if you
have one. Together, you develop
a plan and eventually a “financial
plan” for retirement. This all is a
process that is gradual and happens over time.
Beyond your professional
team, there are also a number
of resources you can explore on
your own through reading. Do
your homework. Become familiar
with options. Everyone in the
industry has an opinion. You’ll
need to apply some personal
strategy to make your financial
plan what you need and want it
to provide.
When it’s time to retire,
replacing your work paycheck
with a retirement income isn’t
as simple as it sounds. Creating
a plan can help ensure your
money will last through all your
retirement years. During retirement there is a shift from saving money to managing income
from what you saved. This is
when your plan becomes vitally
important. Having had a personal
strategy and knowing your needs
will have helped you prepare.
Personal strategy may include
paying off personal debt. Carrying
Walk the trails.
debt into retirement adds a
whole different consideration
when making your plan. The
plan would also include how to
best convert your savings into
an income. Investigating your
options here is critical and is
something your financial planner
can provide direction.
Where to begin making the
plan? First, evaluate what your
retirement goals are. How do
you envision life during retirement? In a previous article, we
explored continuing to work on a
part-time basis or in a completely
different field which might be less
stressful but something you’re
passionate about. Of course
there is always the option of not
working at all. Perhaps your goal
is to travel or go on a mission
trip. Once your goals have been
evaluated, your professional team
can begin to assist you in what
you’ll need in savings to reach
these goals.
No matter when you begin
the process of preparing a
financial plan for retirement, be
involved, review regularly with
your professional team, and stay
focused. Q

Goodbye, Rudy
Community bids “the Beaverdale Dog” farewell
By Melissa Walker
R
udy, known as the Beaverdale
Dog, was a longtime fixture
in the yard of Joy Brady
and Marty Canova’s house at 46th
Street and New York Avenue.
Beaverdale residents young
and old paid daily visits to the
Newfoundland-Labrador mix as he
was tied alongside the sidewalk.
Rudy bounded out to greet them as
they walked by.
But Rudy is no more. The
beloved Beaverdale pet died on July
11 from old age combined with a
diabetes diagnosis.
Brady brought Rudy — named
by her son who wanted to call the
dog Rudolph — home from the
Adel Animal Rescue League in 2003
as a 7-week-old puppy. From the
moment she brought him to her
new house in Beaverdale in 2004,
people latched on to him, so much
so that Brady put up a sign.
It read: “Hi. My name is Rudy.
I’m very friendly but working on
manners.”
Brady says there were so many
neighbors who would walk by that
she didn’t want them to be scared
of the dog.
“We put up the sign,” she
recalls. “They knew his name, and
that’s what made everybody be
comfortable with him and him comfortable with everyone else.”
Residents would call to Rudy
as they walked by. He would get
excited and run to the edge of the
sidewalk to greet them, day or
evening. He had a natural instinct
for how to approach individuals.
He bowed down low for children
or those he sensed were nervous.
He was excited and wiggled his tail
for teenagers. If there was a dog he
didn’t like, he’d wait for it to pass
and then greet its owner. He was
a gentle soul who didn’t seem to
realize he was a dog.
Rudy officially became the
Beaverdale Dog when Brady
and Canova bought one of the
brown signs that are commonly

made for “Beaverdale Brick” or
“Beaverdale Bungalow” homes and
had “Beaverdale Dog” printed on it.
The sign hung on the tree near the
sidewalk.
After Rudy died, Brady and
Canova posted a letter on the tree
to let residents know of his passing.
“We had so many people asking about him and leaving notes and
cards,” Brady says with tears. “It
was really quite amazing. We had
no idea the reach, the number of
people that he touched.”
Between 15 and 20 heartfelt
notes and drawings from children
were left on Rudy’s tree in honor
of him.
Brady knew Rudy had visitors
throughout the day, but she had no
idea of the number until a day last
winter when she was sick and stayed
home from work. Until 6 p.m. that
night, she counted 60-some visitors
before she stopped.
When the couple would walk
to Snookies Malt Shop for ice
cream, people would come up to
them.
“They’d say: ‘Is that Rudy?’”
Brady remembers. “They didn’t
know who we were, but they
knew him. There was a joke that
he could run for public office in
Beaverdale.” Q

What is pain management?
Comprehensive program looks at the patient from a variety of viewpoints
By Matthew C. Biggerstaff, DO
P
ain management is a nebulous term that has a variety
of meanings. Some people
associate pain management with
medications and the negative
aspects associated with the use
of opioid or narcotic medications. Others view pain management with injections into the spine
for pain control. Both of these
descriptions are too simplistic
and do not adequately describe a
comprehensive approach to pain
medicine.
A comprehensive pain management program looks at the
patient from a variety of viewpoints that start with the specific pain issue(s) and encompasses
other physical problems as well
as the psychological issues that
may be present. A comprehensive approach utilizes a variety of
techniques that can include nonnarcotic medications. Opioid or
narcotic medications are utilized in
select conditions. Other conservative treatments include physical
therapy, weight loss and counseling.
The Broadlawns Interventional
Pain Center minimizes the use of
medications by using injection therapies to control acute and chronic
pain conditions. Medications with
low risk profiles are used as well.
There is a definite minimizing of
narcotic or opioid medications.
These injections are performed by
Fellowship-trained physicians, usually under fluoroscopic or ultrasound guidance.
Please make an appointment
for evaluation at the Broadlawns
Interventional Pain Center by calling (515) 282-8270.

eople look for the “secrets”
to investment success. Is
it timing the market? Is it
finding hot stocks or getting in
on the “ground floor” of the
next big thing? These moves have
little relevance to the majority of
investors. Let’s look at effective
steps you can take to help you
work toward your financial goals.
-X´W XMQI MR XLI QEVket, not market timing.
Investors think they can succeed
at “market timing” — buying low
and selling high. This would be a
good strategy if they could predict highs and lows. No one can
accurately forecast these peaks
and valleys. So, instead of ducking in and out of the market in
an attempt to catch highs and
lows, simply stay invested. The
more time you spend in the market, the lesser the impact from
short-term price swings. If you’re
always invested, you’ll always be
in position to benefit from the
next market rally.
-X´W ±FY] ERH LSPH²
RSX±FY]ERHWIPP² You may
be tempted to buy and sell frequently as you look for better
opportunities. This constant buying and selling can be costly.
Frequent trading makes it hard
for you to follow a consistent,
unified investment strategy.
You’re better off purchasing quality investments and holding them
for the long term.

foundation, not getting
MR SR XLI ±KVSYRH JPSSV²
Many people regret not being
one of the initial investors of a
company that has done spectacu-
larly well. Most new companies
don’t achieve anywhere near that
level of success. Instead of looking for the next big thing on
the “ground floor,” try to build
a strong “foundation” of quality
investments suitable for your risk
tolerance, goals and time horizon.
This may not sound glamorous,
but a strong foundation is better
equipped than a possibly shaky
ground floor to withstand the
shifting winds of market forces.
-X´W
GSSPLIEHed thinking, not chasing
±LSX WXSGOW² If you browse
the Internet or watch investment
shows on cable television, you are
bound to hear about “hot” stocks.
But by the time the news reaches
you, these stocks may already
be cooling off. More importantly,
they might not be right for your
needs in the first place. Instead
of chasing after hot stocks, try to
coolly analyze your situation to
determine which investments are
most appropriate for you.
There aren’t any shortcuts
to reaching your desired financial
destination. By taking the slow
and steady path, you can get
there. Q

RECIPE
A peach of a pie recipe
Cookie dough crust pairs perfectly with fruit
Fresh peach pie
By Marchelle Walter Brown
Rosie’s cookie dough pie crust
1-1/2 cups flour
1-1/2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup canola oil
2 tablespoons milk
Mix all ingredients together. Dump and
press by hand on the bottom and up
the sides of a 9” pie pan. Bake at 425
degrees for 12-14 minutes.
W
e recently vacationed in northeast Georgia and we were there
during prime peach season. I like peaches but let me tell you,
when I had my first fresh Georgia peach I thought I’d died and
gone to heaven. As we were preparing to start back to Iowa, I told my
husband that I wanted to get some peaches to take home. Knowing that
we weren’t taking the most direct route home, and would be on the road
several days, I had to decide whether to just buy a few to eat; buy a bag
and hope they were good when we arrived; or take a huge chance and
buy a lug to freeze or can. I opted for the middle ground, bought a sackful
and we headed north. At every stop I toted the sack of peaches from our
air conditioned vehicle into air conditioned accommodations and, when
we arrived home five days later, I was thrilled to find all of my peaches in
perfect condition. I wanted to just eat two or three every day until they
were gone. But knowing how much he and my in-laws love peach pie, I ate
a couple and then, using my mom’s recipe for strawberry pie, I switched a
couple of ingredients and made the best peach pie I’ve ever had.
Rather than using ordinary pie crust, I made a “cookie dough” crust
from a recipe my mother-in-law shared with me. What makes it so foolproof is that you don’t even have to roll it out. Simply mix the crust ingredients together, dump it in a pie pan, pat it out and up the sides of the pan
and bake it. And it pairs perfectly with any sweet fresh fruit pie. Q
Hilda’s fresh peach pie
1-1/2 cups sugar
2 tablespoons flour
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoons salt
1-1/2 cups water
1 small package peach Jell-o
4-5 cups fresh peaches, peeled and
sliced (Don’t slice too thin)
Directions
1. In a medium sauce pan, whisk sugar,
flour, cornstarch and salt together.
2. Stir in water and cook over medium
heat, stirring frequently, until it comes
to a boil. Continue cooking, stirring
constantly until thick. Stir in Jell-o and
continue to cook until smooth.
3. Remove from heat and let cool to
room temperature, then gently stir
in the peaches. Pour mixture into
the cooled cookie dough pie shell
and refrigerate until set. Serve with
whipped topping.

WHAT’S IN YOUR GARAGE?
A work bench, home care supplies and paint left behind in the garage are providing inspiration for Karla Walsh in her new home. Photos by David Rowley,
Things left behind
Walsh finds treasures in her new home’s garage
By David Rowley
W
hen Karla Walsh found her
Beaverdale home this past
February — and moved in during
March — she had no problem envisioning how
she would make this house her own. Little
did she know she know the previous owner
would have some supplies waiting to help her
get started.
During the move, she noticed the previous
owners left a handful of supplies in her new
garage. The previous owner had lived in the
home for 13 years and had amassed a collection of home care and décor items. Besides a
rainbow’s worth of paint, they left a couple
rakes, shovels and even two lawn mowers. But
it wasn’t without some treasures.
“One thing that’s neat — and certainly not
moving far — is the work bench,” Walsh says.
According to Walsh, the big wooden table
was passed down from the owner before the
man who she bought it from, then from him
22
Beaverdale Living
AUGUST | 2015
to her.
“So it’s a well-loved third-generation
‘antique,’ ” she says.
But that doesn’t mean she won’t be making
good use out of it.
“I haven’t done too many DIY projects in
the past, but with an old home like this, I know
I will moving forward,” she says.
The bench was likely used quite a bit by
the previous owner, who tackled a handful of
projects Walsh is happy to have done; one of
those projects being the finished basement and
an updated bathroom in the master suite.
“With a home built in the 1920s, there will
be plenty of maintenance to keep up with,”
says Walsh. “Moving into a space with a few
recent updates saves me a lot of time, stress
and money.”
As a self-described “perfectionist,” Walsh
knows there’s still plenty to be done in and
around her new home. The driveway needs to
be repaved as well as replacing the skylights,
but that’s what being a homeowner is all about.
As her to-do list continues to grow, she can’t
help but be excited about her home’s potential
— and no doubt that work bench will come in
handy.
“I aim to remove all of the remaining carpet
and sand and refinish the hardwood floors,”
Walsh says. “I’d also like to add floor-to-ceiling
library shelves to one room, install a wine cellar
and create a farmhouse dining room table.”
Pausing for a moment, Walsh adds, “I plan
to get a lot of help with most of this, but hope
to assist a pal if he’s willing to lead a master
class in crafting.” Q

NEWS BRIEF
When their family’s car broke down last October, Roger and Tatiana
McGhee knew that if they didn’t find a way for Roger to get to work, everything their family had built was in danger of disappearing.
“We were just really worried about how it was going to work out,”
Roger says. “I work over a half-hour away, so if I can’t make it to work, I
lose the job, we lose the apartment, you lose everything.
Roger, who works at AgReliant Genetics in Ogden, found a co-worker
who could give him a ride, but still faced the question of getting his three
kids to school and buying groceries. One of their sons has behavioral disorders and needs to make it to frequent doctors and counseling appointments.
“Lately, since our car went down, it’s been hard to get him to a lot of
those appointments,” Roger says.
The family moved to Ames in late 2011 from Corpus Christi, Texas,
because the job opportunities were better.
“Over the last 3.5 years or so, we’ve gotten to where we are now, so
to know that that was in jeopardy, it was really scary,” Roger says.
The McGhees recently received a car through the Ames Ford Lincoln
Wheels for Work program. The timing couldn’t have been better —
Roger’s co-worker was moving that weekend, and he no longer had a ride
to work.
With Wheels for Work, Ames Ford fixes up older vehicles and donates
them to people who need transportation. The United Way works with local
human services agencies to find candidates for the vehicles.
“It truly is life-changing for some folks to have transportation to be able
to take their kids to school and pick them up,” says Nick Johnson, Owner of
Ames Ford. “And take them out for ice cream, it’s just some of the smaller
things that we take for granted that if you don’t have transportation, it can
really change your life.”
Johnson estimates they’ve given away roughly 50 vehicles through a similar program at their dealership in Fort Dodge. This is the first car they’ve
given away in Ames, and they are already fixing up two more donated cars
to give away next.
The McGhees’ car trouble started when their old Cadillac Deville went
out in November 2013. The estimated cost to fix the motor was more than
$6,000, so they took it to a junkyard and used the money to buy a used car.
“It probably ran for almost a week before the third gear went out,”
Roger says.
Tatiana’s eyes teared up as she talked about the help she and her family
has received from friends and neighbors in recent months. She says their
family has been blessed with good friends and neighbors who have helped
take their three kids, ages 10, 9 and 8, to school and to errands around
town.
“It’s an answer to our prayers,” she says, wiping a tear from her eye.
After all the paperwork was signed, Johnson handed Roger the keys and
the couple walked out to their “new” 2002 Mercury Sable, christening it by
placing a bottle of coke Roger had been drinking into one of the cupholders.
“Now we get to go grocery shopping,” Tatiana said before they climbed
in. Q
