As my dad would say, “That’s big news in a small town.” Sure, there is plenty of bad news in the world to write about, but we prefer to focus on the positive in this magazine. Some of these events have caught on, and some haven’t. That’s OK. What’s important is that the good folks behind these efforts keep working on ideas to make Adel even more attractive than it already is — and that is no easy feat. Outdoor concerts have brought crowds to town for various events throughout the years, but they seem to have become even more popular recently. Fresh air and live music, along with food and beverage of your choice, make for a relaxing way to spend time with friends or family in a community setting. The only thing that could make them better is if they were free, you say? Well, you will be glad to know that a free concert series is returning on the fourth Friday of each month, April through August. With bands featuring classic rock, blues country, R&B and jazz, you are sure to find something pleasing to your ears. Look inside for details. Car shows also bring crowds of nice people. I have been to a number of them and enjoy them all, large or small, officially organized or simply random. There is something wholesome about a car show, as it brings back memories of simpler times. Now if there were only more in Adel. Well, you are in for another pleasant surprise as cruise nights will be held on the Saturdays of June 20, July 18 and Sept. 12 right here in town. We share more on these shows in our cover story this month. If that’s not enough, you can also learn about the Sheriff’s vehicle show and numerous activities at the Adel Public Library. Dad was right. This is big news in a small town. And we are glad to share it with you. Thanks for reading. Q Shane Goodman Publisher Writers wanted Would you like to write for this publication?

Organizers have put together three cruise nights to encourage Dallas County residents to come to Adel and support businesses and the community. “We thought it would be kind of nice to promote downtown Adel and bring people back in on a Saturday night,” says Mike Lynch, one of the event organizers. Cruise nights will be held June 20, July 18 and Sept. 12 and start at 4 p.m. Anyone can participate, and any type of vehicle is welcome. “There is no organization, just cruise around, walk around, talk to people and have a good time,” Lynch says. “It’s a just a reason to get out on a Saturday night.” The idea is that cruisers will come to Adel, eat at one of the local businesses, stay in town for a couple of hours, and then pos- M Chad Leonard and his son Elijah with the 1965 Chevrolet Bel Air they’ve been restoring.

Lynch says if the event is successful, organizers will try to make it bigger. Limited advertising is planned to announce the event. “I know when I was a kid, Saturday night was a big thing,” Lynch recalls. “The family went to town, and we’re trying to promote that again, and hopefully, the businesses will have a little more activity on a Saturday night.” Free concert series returns amid success, adds family night event Adel’s outdoor concert series, which has drawn hundreds of attendees each time, starts April 24 with a performance by Get Off My Lawn, a classic rock band. The Free Friday Concert Series started three years ago as a way to provide a familyfriendly event to the Adel community. “It has proven to be a great investment in our community,” says Karina Ward, director of the Adel Partners Chamber of Commerce, the organizing sponsor of the event. Attendance has grown each year, with an average of 300 people at each musical event. Organizers expect this year to be even more well attended with larger, more popular bands from Des Moines being booked and a family night finale event. An increase in sponsorships — the Adel Partners Chamber of Commerce along with local businesses and community organizations sponsor the events — has led to the ability to bring in bigger acts. Events are scheduled on the fourth Friday of each month, April through August. Entertainment is from 7-10 p.m. at the Adel Community Stage and Pavilion at 10th and Main streets. Each performance is family friendly. events committee. “We’re trying to do a mixture of things to bring variety,” says Doug Zeigler, president of the Adel Partners Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors. A family night was held the first year, and because of its popularity and success, organizers decided to bring it back again this year, Ward says. No food or drinks will be sold at the events, so families are encouraged to pack a basket of snacks and drinks — or grab dinner from a local restaurant — and bring their lawn furniture for an evening of entertainment. Alcoholic drinks are allowed in designated areas, specifically the lawn area around the stage. “Since we’ve started it, attendance has grown each year and each event has grown,” Zeigler says. “We’re really glad that the community seems satisfied with this event we’re putting on.” Scheduled events: April 24: Get Off My Lawn, a classic rock band. May 22: Rebyl Road, a blues country group. June 26: Final Mix, a group that plays a combination of R&B, jazz fusion, blues, hip hop, rock ’n’ roll and original material. July 24: Jazz vocalist Max Wellman. Aug. 22: An Evening of Family Fun, which features storyteller and puppeteer Carol Taylor, clown performer Toby Kid, and hypnotist Terry Stokes Sr. All performers are local to the Des Moines area and were selected by the Sheriff’s vehicle show continues to raise money for Special Olympics The Seventh Annual Dallas County Sheriff’s Office All-Wheel Show will be from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. June 6 on the square in Adel. Admission is free. The event raises money for Iowa Special Olympics. The show raised more than $3,000 for Special Olympics last year. It’s raised as much as $5,000 in some years. Rainy weather last year led to lighter attendance than usual, and some of the entrants that were scheduled to attend did not as a result of the weather, Leonard says. The number of entries varies from year 6 Adel Living APRIL | 2015 Performers will once again show their talents on the Adel Community Stage and Pavilion at 10th and Main streets. Photo submitted. www.iowalivingmagazines.com/adel to year because of the number of car and motorcycle shows that are held. “We’re going to do the best we can to get it up to 150,” Leonard says. The show is different from a lot of car shows in that it invites any vehicle with wheels on it to enter, from classic cars to trucks to motorcycles to antique tractors. Leonard’s own son, Elijah, 14, will enter a motor and a frame he’s been working on for a mini bike along with a 1965 Chevrolet Bel Air that the two have worked on together. The car will be Elijah’s when he receives his driver’s license, which is why he’s taking such a big role in its restoration. “We’ll have some help with friends, but for the most part, I want him to build it himself and have pride in it,” Leonard says. Leonard says organizers are trying to get more customized vehicles into the show this year. Dash plaques will be given to the first 100 cars that register for the event. Participants choose the top 20 cars. Awards are given for Best of Show, Most Likely to be Stopped by a Cop, Bad Bike, Long Distance and Special Olympics Athlete Choice. Leonard says the highlight of the event is the Special Olympics Choice Award, which the athletes themselves vote on. The athletes also help present all of the awards. The Long Distance award goes to the person who traveled the farthest to attend the show. In the past, people have come from Mount Pleasant and Spencer. Participants to the show from all four corners of the state. Registration is from 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. FEATURE Judging will take place from 1-2 p.m., with awards presented at 2:30 p.m. Registration cost is $15 for the first car and $5 for each car after that per owner. Pre-registrants receive a free car show T-shirt. Registration can be mailed to Dallas County Sheriff’s Office, 201 Nile Kinnick Drive, Adel, Iowa 50003. Forms are available on the Sheriff’s website at: www.co.dallas.ia.us/government/sheriff under “Public relations events.” This year the show will have more booths and vendors with items for sale. Sponsors are still needed for the event. Anyone interested can contact the sheriff’s office at: 515-993-4771. Vendors typically donate a portion of their proceeds to the cause. Otherwise 100 percent of all other money taken in for the event goes toward the Special Olympics athletes, Leonard says. Adel Library plans another summer full of reading adventures for all ages Babies on up to adults will have the opportunity to be involved in the summer reading program at the Adel Public Library when it begins June 5. This year’s theme is “Every Hero has a Story.” Code Blue performed at last year’s Free Friday Concert Series. Photo submitted. Usually more than 300 kids and adults sign up for the program, says Paula James, the library’s director. There are four categories of participation: babies, school-age children, teens and adults. The program kicks off with a visit from Let Our Family Take Care of Your Family Blank Park Zoo at 10 a.m. June 5. Each afternoon at 2 p.m. there is a “Messy Monday” craft for children. Other activities include: Superhero-themed movies, which will be shown every other Wednesday afternoon. A caricature artist who will capture children’s images and combine them with superheroes. 10 a.m. to noon June 19. Signup is required. A visit from Dallas County Conservation at 2 p.m. June 24. A magic show workshop for grades three through five at 2 p.m. July 9. Sign-up is required. More activities are planned for teens and adults. James says last year the teen finale party included a trip to Barnes and Noble bookstore where the teens each picked out a book for the library and were then treated to something from the coffee shop. She plans a similar event this year. For adults, James says the library is planning health and fitness activities that could include disc golf and yoga classes. Summer reading logs are due July 21, with the finale event on July 23. Children who complete the program will receive prizes along the way and work toward winning a free book.

Different formulas take care of different needs By L. Eric Anderson, DDS f you neglect brushing and flossing, no toothpaste will save your smile. However, for those who follow the advice of the dental professionals, the right toothpaste could prevent gum pain, stained teeth, cavities and more serious dental problems. Choosing the “best” toothpaste may seem overwhelming, as there are so many options. First things first: Always look for the ADA Seal of Approval on the box. This will confirm that the toothpaste has been tested, its claims are legitimate and ingredients effective. The next step is to determine if you have specific needs from your toothpaste. As soon as you finish brushing, a sticky film of bacteria called I plaque is trying to form on your teeth. Plaque interacts with certain foods — namely sugar — to produce acids that eat away at your tooth’s enamel. The result of that can be cavities if left undisturbed. Fluoride is nature’s cavity fighter as it coats teeth and protects them from those cavity-causing acids. The more time or exposure to fluoride, the more benefit one achieves. This means brushing and spitting is better than brushing and rinsing. Additionally, sometimes it is necessary to use prescription cavity-fighting toothpaste if one suffers from a dry mouth or is consistently getting cavities. Overachieving in plaque removal and aggressive brushing can lead to sensitivity. If your dentist has ruled out cavities and root infections, you may be suffering from exposed root surfaces on your teeth. Cold drinks and/or sweets will confirm this issue. Desensitizing toothpastes with agents like strontium chloride and potassium nitrate work equally well and will help calm sensitivity. If, despite regular dental visits and great homecare, you still build tartar, consider buying tartar control toothpaste. These help prevent that sticky plaque from hardening into tartar. A word of caution: some people can experience allergic reactions to these toothpastes. Whitening toothpaste may be beneficial for yellow and stained teeth. These toothpastes contain mild abrasives that help polish teeth and prevent the buildup of additional stains. However, they have little effect on the natural shade of your teeth or on older discolorations and stains. To get a brighter smile with whitening toothpaste, look for one that contains modified silicone abrasives. If you are not satisfied with the results after one month, ask you dentist about better whitening solutions. Once you choose the type of toothpaste, next is choosing paste versus gel and your favorite flavor. Happy shopping. Q Information provided by L.

Q: Is reminiscing beneficial to the elderly? A: Reminiscing, the process of “life review” is an important part of old age. Any age, actually, as we all share our memories and spend time “filling each other in” on our life histories — who we are and have been, where we have lived, who is important in our life. Reminiscing enhances self-esteem. We all have a lifelong need to see ourselves as unique individuals, and the recollection of pleasant experiences, past accomplishments and triumphs over adversity is part of this. Reminiscing can be an important tool for socialization. When you meet people, you learn about each other by sharing your life experiences. Sometimes family members and friends are concerned if the older adult repeats stories, returning to the same ones again and again. This, too, is part of the life review process. Those stories are probably the Cindy and Steve Brownsberger enjoy hitting the rode on his Harley. Photo by Lisa Verheyones the person finds the most pleasant to recall, or may concern events Budding. that they might be “working through.” When reminiscing with a person with dementia it often helps to “jump start” the conversation with old photos, music, smells or things to touch. Ask questions beginning with “Tell me about the time...” Older adults are a treasury of stored experience and information. What a better way to learn what it was like in the “good old days” than from someone who was there.

Now, granted, the wife and family are certainly going to stay at the top of the list of the most “precious” things in life. However, sometimes there is a smidgen of a void that needs to be filled… what could it be? Well, it is time to get a motorcycle, of course. When Steve Brownsberger of Adel is not at his job working on the roads of Dallas County, he is cruising the day away on his motorcycle. This isn’t just any motorcycle, it is a 2006 Harley Davidson Street Glide. “I had a bike before getting married and having kids. Now that the kids are older, we decided to go forward and start riding again,” he says. Brownsberger, also a 20-year volunteer firefighter for Adel, has only had his a bike year but has already put some good mileage on it. He and his wife, Cindy, forget about all of worrisome things in T the world and hit the road to spend some peaceful quality time together. “We ride whenever we get the chance. We have traveled to Sturgis, South Dakota; Mount Rushmore, and Devil’s Tower, Wyoming so far,” Brownsberger says. Cindy Brownsberger says the best ride so far has been to Devil’s Tower. “We rode to Devil’s Tower all of the way from Sturgis,” she says. “We are looking forward to many more rides to come.” Fifty and fabulous is oftentimes a phrase that is dedicated to women turning 50… and not so much men. Put a 50-year-old man behind the handle bars of a wicked machine on two wheels, with a hot motor, and a ton of chrome bling-bling, and you will see what fabulous really looks like. To infinity and beyond. Or at least, to the fabulous 50 and counting. Either way, Steve Brownsberger will find his way, as long as he is footloose and fancy free on his Harley.

One Adel church is preparing for a special weekend of events that includes all three of these. At an Evening of Love Songs, church and community members at Adel United Methodist Church are invited to showcase their talents and bring out their silly side to provide good, clean entertainment for all in attendance. T A long-running tradition The 2015 performance of Silly Love Songs marks a long-time celebration of one of the church’s most original events. For 25 years the congregation has played host to this unique collection of creativity. The first night of celebrations begins Saturday, April 25. Guests are invited to attend a cavatelli dinner at 5:30 or 6:45 p.m. at the church. Following the fellowship, the fun begins as a roster of church members take the stage at 8 p.m. The fun continues with a Sunday matinee show at 2 p.m. accompanied by a variety of desserts. One notable performance at this year’s love song collection will feature former Adel UMC pastor Dr. Harold Green. Green is no stranger to the long-running tradition. As a matter of fact, he was the one to get it started. In 1990, Green decided to mix his love of music with his wife’s famous cavatelli with the first-ever Valentine Dinner Show. The rest is history. Now the tradition has continued into 2015, as current pastor John Augspurger and his wife Deb continue to share their love of music. 1LOH.LQQLFN'U6 /2&$7(':,7+,1+$59(<·6*5((1+286( Adel United Methodist Church 115 S. 10th St. www.AdelUMC.org Sunday service: 8:30 and 10:30 a.m. Sunday school: 9:30 a.m. Fun for a good cause While it is important to get out and have fun every once in a while, there is a much deeper meaning behind this year’s Evening of Love Songs.

We accept all major insurance companies Most insurance companies do not require a referral for physical therapy services. We treat any patient with muscle or joint pain, and specialize in the treatment of back and neck pain and headaches. -XVWLQ6FKHUII37'37-RGL+RRN3706 $OLFLD)LVKHU37'370LNH%XUJJUDDI37'37/$7 516 Nile Kinnick Dr. S, Suite B, Adel, Iowa 993-5599 A: Many people complain of increased pain in their joints and spine because of arthritis. Osteoarthritis is a chronic degenerative condition that is predominantly caused by wear and tear on the joints in the body which leads to the breakdown of joint surfaces. This leads to a decrease in cushioning between the joints. With this decrease in cushioning, stiffness, loss of motion and pain can develop. Degeneration is a normal aging process. If we live long enough, we will all develop some degree of arthritis. There are an estimated 27 million Americans living with arthritis today. Not all people who have arthritis have pain, and it is a common misconception that if you are diagnosed with having arthritis that you are destined to have pain. Usually, unless the arthritis is severe, there are other physical reasons why people are having pain. These reasons can include inflammation, tight muscles, decreased strength and loss of mobility in the joint with arthritis and the surrounding joints. Physical therapists can help manage some of this pain by helping correct imbalances in the body, designing a home program of stretching and other exercises and using modalities as they are needed. Low-impact exercise and weight control are also beneficial in managing the symptoms. Your doctor may prescribe some medications to help relieve symptoms as well.

Now Available at Sumpter Pharmacy and Wellness 1LOH.LQQLFN'ULYH6RXWK$GHO +2856021'$<)5,'$<6$7 12 Adel Living APRIL | 2015 www.iowalivingmagazines.com/adel A: Unfortunately, the government of the United States does not require manufacturers of foods that have been made with genetically modified ingredients (GMOs) to be labeled as such. The only way to guarantee that you are not ingesting GMOs is to eat only foods that are certified organic, which by definition cannot contain GMOs, or have been verified GMO-free by the Non-GMO Project, an independent organization whose goal is to enable people to choose non-GMO. Most processed foods likely contain GMOs. Data from 2011 indicate that approximately 90 percent of all corn, soy and canola are genetically-modified and 95 percent of sugar beets, a primary source of sugar in processed foods. Certain fresh produce also contains GMOs including papaya, zucchini and yellow summer squash, so it is a good idea to purchase these from organic sources. Ingredients that are usually made from GMO crops include amino acids, aspartame, ascorbic acid, vitamin C, citric acid, sodium citrate, ethanol, flavorings (“natural” and “artificial”), highfructose corn syrup, hydrolyzed vegetable protein, lactic acid, maltodextrins, molasses, monosodium glutamate, sucrose, textured vegetable protein, xanthan gum, vitamins and yeast products. Rather than carrying around this list, use an app for that. Some apps to consider include GMO-Checker, True Food, ShopNoGMO and the Non-GMO Project Shopping Guide. Some of these require only a simple barcode scan to identify whether GMO ingredients are present. With tools like these, it is much easier to make healthier choices, especially considering that approximately 70 percent of foods in the U.S. are made with GMOs. Q Information provided by Toni Sumpter, Sumpter Pharmacy and Wellness, 628 Nile Kinnick Drive South, Suite A, 993-1119. HEALTH Kids have back pain too! Q: What are the physical effects of chronic stress? A: Stress is natural and necessary consequence of living, but there is no need for us to suffer from its physical consequences. When excessive, stress produces undesirable physical and mental reactions such as depression, disturbed sleep, chronic fatigue, tics and twitches and frequent illnesses. One of the most frequent physical manifestations of mental stress is muscle spasm, especially in the localized groups of muscles in the neck, shoulders and lower back. It is so common to have these spasms that we tend to ignore them, which leads to the sequence of tension building until something mental or physical reaches a threshold and deteriorates causing a state of “dis-ease.” Deformities such as kyphosis (humping of the spine) and scoliosis (curvature of the spine) are often the result of not handling the stress that produces the muscle spasm and ultimately shortens the tendons and muscles. The physical consequences of muscle and tendon shortening can also trigger headaches and chronic malfunctions of organs such as the thyroid, kidneys, heart, lungs and those of the reproductive and digestive systems. Muscle tension and shortening alters the alignment and function of the spinal column that protects the spinal cord. Even minor disturbances in the function of the nervous system can interfere with the way the body functions and create a state of “dis-ease.” Chiropractors specialize it the hands-on treatment of your spine and nervous system to free your body from the physical consequences of stress.

A: Whether it simply bruises your ego or breaks a bone, taking a fall is no fun. Each year, one in three seniors 65 and older experiences a fall — a number that has grown in recent years. For people in this age group, falling is the leading cause of injury and injury-related deaths. Whether due to concerns about independence or worrying others, however, fewer than half these people tell the doctor about their falls. Be upfront with your doctor and caregivers. Provide details about when, where and how you fell. We can help you pinpoint the problem and suggest changes you can make. Falling might be due to a chronic health condition, an infection, a balance disorder, vision problems, muscle weakness or medications. s3TAYHEALTHY Even simple lifestyle changes can make a difference in preventing falls. This includes maintaining good physical condition with exercise, sleep and nutrition. Also, stay well hydrated with plenty of water. With your doctors permission, engage in exercise that improves strength, flexibility, balance and gait. This might include walking, water workouts or yoga. s2EVIEWYOURMEDS Here’s where your pharmacist can really help. Make a list of your medications. Do any make you dizzy or drowsy? Your doctor and I can review this list with you, discuss any side effects you are having and decide whether it makes sense to change your medications. Of course, don’t make any changes without first having a conversation with your doctor. Q Information provided by Jane Clausen, Adel Health Mart, 113 N.

She graduated from Iowa State University, earning a bachelor’s degree in elementary education with emphases in history and educational technology. She is currently attending Viterbo University for a master’s in education. Tilley was inspired by her early teachers, whose methods have resonated with her for years, as well as her mom and grandma. The women of her life believed she could do anything, even be the first in her family to graduate from high school. “Their faith in me from such a young age helped me build that faith in myself,” says Tilley. Tilley was fresh of out college when she began working for the ADM School District. This is her 14th year as an employee. Tilley taught technology for four years, third grade for a year, fourth grade for two years, and since then she has been a second grade teacher. A regular day begins with Tilley greeting her students and listening to their various anecdotes. The students spend their time working on various subjects, alternating between learning and recess. Tilley’s favorite activity with kids is the Reader’s Workshop when they have a mini-lesson before moving into small groups to talk about and read books. At the end of the day Tilley says goodbye to her pupils with a high five, a “foot- C Lacey and Justin Reed found a family-friendly neighborhood for raising their children, Laityn, Kipton and Corbin. Christal Tilley teaches second grade in the ADM district. Photos by Ashley Green. high five” or a hug. She keeps a Twitter page updated for parents to see what their children have been up to day to day. The practical outcome of teaching second grade is “for the students to become better readers, writers, mathematicians, thinkers and caring citizens,” but Tilley believes that her students have taught her about “the things that are important” as well. She considers her job to be her calling, saying, “I would not be the kind of happy I am here anywhere else.” She believes that the integration of technology, Alphabet Alley (a place where students can publish their writing), Watch Dogs and math tutors are all programs that keep students engaged. One of Tilley’s favorite parts of her job is talking to kids and sharing their achievements with their parents. She is happy to work in a district where parents are so supportive of teachers. Q What do you like best about your teacher? Jordyn Howell: “She lets us eat lunch with her.” 16 Adel Living Dakoda Pittman: “Math, writing, spelling.” APRIL | 2015 Olivia Gerhing: “She is fun, and she does fun things with us.” www.iowalivingmagazines.com/adel Successful small-town living Reed family finds its “village” in Adel By Dawn van Buren acey Reed uses a traditional proverb when she refers to her neighbors and neighborhood in Adel. “It takes a village to raise a child, and I love my village” she says, referring to Luther Drive, the neighborhood where she, husband Justin and their three children live. The proverb is quoted often when conversation is centered upon maturation of a child or children. The young parents who live in the Reed’s neighborhood are helpful and willing community partners, looking out for each other and each other’s children. This is a true village approach, making Adel a good place to raise a family. This is exactly what the Reeds were looking for when they built their home in 2011. Both Lacey and Justin grew up in small towns — Lacey in Clarion and Justin in Goldfield. They want their children — Corbin, Kipton and Laityn — to experience the same small-town lifestyle that they encountered. Their two-story home was built by KRM Development. It has four bedrooms, 3.5 baths, a large master suite with French doors and office area, a kitchen with a dining area L and access to a covered deck. The kitchen is equipped with GE Profile stainless steel appliances including a dishwasher, double ovens, a microwave, range and a refrigerator with lower drawer freezer and French doors. Granite countertops with stone backsplash and Bertch custom designed cabinets stained the same color as the wood trim on the upper level complete this beautiful kitchen. A utility/mud room with lockers, a lower deck, basement and a three-car garage make up the remainder of the floor plan. The house is customized to the Reed’s specifications, including a fireplace, a built-in entertainment center and pocket doors in several rooms. The woodwork and trim is way beyond ordinary. Attention to detail is evident in every part of the house. Lacey and Justin own Studio 10, an Aveda salon, on the square. Lacey has managed the hair salon since it opened under the name of Marc Stephens & Friends in 2006. The Reeds purchased the salon in 2010. Justin works as a business analyst for ITAGroup Inc. in West Des Moines. The Reeds are happy that they chose to live in Adel.

These new rules, effective Jan. 1, 2015, increase accessibility to individuals filing suit by providing a more streamlined and cost-efficient approach to a system more typically associated with slow turnaround and significant expense. s 4HE REQUIREMENTS In order to qualify for the expedited system, you must be seeking $75,000 or less in monetary damages, including all measures of damages. You may not be seeking any form of damages apart from monetary relief. The party bringing the lawsuit must “opt-in” in order to enter the T system. There is also an option to enter into the system if all parties to a lawsuit agree to the expedited requirements even if the case exceeds the ceiling on damages. s4HEBENEFITS The parties involved in the expedited system are subject to limited discovery. This means that each party is limited in the number of questions or document requests it may present to the other side. There is also a limit as to the number of depositions each party may take and experts it may retain. The reason these limitations are beneficial is because discovery is generally the most expensive and time-intensive part of litigation. In addition, the trial must be completed within one year from the date a party files its initial petition with the court. The trial is limited to two business days and presented to six jurors. Again, these restrictions are beneficial because it limits the expense to each party and results in an efficient trial presentation by both sides. In general, the expedited system is not for everyone. However, if you are considering filing a lawsuit that meets the requirements, the expedited system’s streamlined approach may provide a more realistic option for you to pursue your case. Please consult an attorney for more details about this new option and the accompanying rules.

Springtime treat Refreshing lemon bars are super easy By Jan Allen pring has sprung! Winter’s tired north winds are beginning to give way to the warm breath of southern breezes, and thawed ground yields tulips, daffodils and dandelions. The frogs are croaking and the bees are buzzing.... I love spring. I was looking through my recipe collection for something that spoke “spring” to me and came across this recipe for lemon bars. The recipe is on a large index card that was handwritten by my mama. She passed away 10 years ago, and seeing her handwriting brings back such precious memories of her. She was a wonderful, spunky little lady who loved to bake, and she taught me well, as I share that love of creating yumminess in my kitchen and sharing it with others as she did so often. I grew up on a farm, and practiced baking almost daily in the summer. My dad baled small square bales of hay and hired several high school boys to help. My job was to provide cookies and iced tea in the afternoon to those hungry guys. I never tired of baking. These lemon bars are easy, light and refreshing. The bottom layer is a buttery, flaky crust topped with a sweet lemony goodness on top. Did I mention easy? They are super easy and are pretty simple, using only six ingredients. Enjoy this beautiful Iowa springtime season, and I hope you can give this refreshing lemon treat a try. Q S Rob Fisher, Marsha Fisher and Mike Fisher at the Adel Chamber’s annual dinner on March 24.

Be careful, even in the backyard www.holtclean.com By Josh Heisterkamp, multi-line agent (OLT#LEANING3ERVICESs0HONE t’s a great feeling to hang out with friends and family around a blazing fire in your backyard in Adel — unless, of course, that fire blazes a little too much. I COMPASS FINANCIAL SERVICES While a fire pit can be a wonderful addition to your home, all fires are potentially dangerous. So before you sit down with some marshmallows to roast, we have gathered up some tips to help you keep that fire in the pit (and away from everything else). Are you legal? Before building or buying a fire pit, check the regulations in your area to learn about restrictions. Your fire pit may be legal, but a fire might not always be. Monitor and follow community burn bans. Be respectful. Nothing can extinguish the good vibes of a nice fire more quickly than police complaints from smoked-out neighbors. What kind of pit do you want? You can buy a fire pit or build one. If you choose the latter, there are plenty of resources online to help you design it. Don’t dig a hole just anywhere and throw some rocks down. Put some thought into it and you’ll have a better — and safer — spot to enjoy. If you want convenience, a propane model might be right for you. They produce less smoke and have an adjustable flame. Ready to build your fire? Actually, you probably aren’t ready yet. First, ensure the area under and around the fire pit is clear of flammable materials. Keep the STEVE C21$RD, CFP® 6HFXULWLHVRIIHUHG WKURXJK /3/)LQDQFLDO PHPEHU),15$ 6,3& pit itself at least 10 feet from any structures. Before you start the fire, have a fire extinguisher or a garden hose handy. OK, now are you ready to build your fire? Choose hard, seasoned woods. Sparks from softer woods like cedar can increase the danger of igniting something nearby. Don’t use liquid fuels, even lighter fluid, to get your fire going. And don’t burn paper, cardboard, leaves, garbage, etc. If you have a metal fire pit, don’t overload it, and always use the included safety screen. Is the fire out? When you’re done, spread out the ashes and let them cool off for a bit. Then gently pour water or sand over them. Stick around for a little while to watch for flare-ups. We want you to have plenty of nice, warm nights — without getting burned. Here’s to making memories around the fire.
