WELCOME
Heart-warming
memories
I
’m not exactly sure when I first attended a Covered Bridge Festival,
but it must have been about 20 years ago. I can pin it down to that
general timeframe because I recall all the items my wife purchased
and displayed in our home back then.
We were two of the 15,000 to 20,000
people who attend the festival each year.
And, like many others who partake, we
met some friends and we all enjoyed the
numerous festivities that were part of
the event.
At that time, we weren’t all too
familiar with the historic bridges. “The
Bridges of Madison County” book just
published, and the movie wasn’t out yet.
We roamed around the countryside in
hopes of seeing all the bridges (taking
a Covered Bridge bus tour would have
been a better choice), but the real satisfaction came from all that was happening
in and around town.
Since 1970, the Covered Bridge Festival has been entertaining
residents and visitors alike with good old-fashioned fun, and this year
delivers again. You can expect a pancake breakfast, live shows, vendors,
a quilt show, artisan booths, crafts, a classic car show, old time demonstrators and performances, an old-fashioned spelling bee, Passport to
the Past and, of course, the Sunday morning parade. And don’t forget
the Winterset all-class reunion on Saturday evening, whether you are an
alumni or not.
Look inside for all the details and a few heart-warming memories
from those who have shared some of their most precious moments on
the bridges of Madison County.

ANNUAL COVERED BRIDGE
FESTIVAL TO BE HELD OCT. 11-12
By Courtney Keiser
he Bridges of Madison County see their fair
share of tourists and visitors year-round. But,
in just one weekend, the Covered Bridge
Festival attracts 15,000 to 20,000 people in the historic Winterset courthouse square.
This year’s festival is Oct. 11-12. Its theme —
“Timeless Treasures” — is one that co-chair Kayla
Hawkins feels symbolizes the importance of the six
remaining bridges to the community.
“Not just for the tourism,” she explains. “But the
history they give about the people of years gone by
who built them, crossed them or married on them.”
Co-chair Kendall Kerns credits the community
for “such a fantastic job of working together to keep
the bridges restored for generations to come and
experience.”
The residents of Madison County have held this
annual event near and dear to their hearts since it
began in 1970, bursting with pride to show off the
unique heritage that makes their county so special.
“My mother and father brought me to the festival
for years when I was a small child,” Kern recalls. “I
can remember sitting on the courthouse lawn eating
great food prepared by the local churches and watching the spelling bee.”
Kerns has co-chaired the event for two years but
has been involved in planning and preparations for
10. Hawkins is the self-proclaimed “new kid on the
block.” This is her fourth year as a volunteer and first
as a co-chair.
As always, there’s plenty for festival guests to
enjoy. The 2014 agenda, as of press time, includes
the firefighter’s pancake breakfast, a horseshoe
tournament, covered bridge race, antique tractor
ride, live shows, vendors, quilt show, artisan booths,
crafts, the classic car show, old time demonstrators
and performances on both the Benge and Penrod

Stage and more. An old-fashioned spelling bee,
farmer’s market, Passport to the Past and, of
course, the Sunday parade are also returning
fan favorites. The 2014 Parade Grand Marshall
is Ken Bassett.
Additional activities are located at the
John Wayne Birthplace, Winterset City Park,
Winterset Elementary School and the Madison
County Historical Complex. New this year
is the Timeless Treasure Hunt, when families
can take a “selfie” with famous citizens from
Madison County, enjoy a walking tour of
historic buildings on the square, play a matching game and hear more about the people of
Madison County.
Kerns also reminds Winterset alumni of
the all-class reunion Saturday afternoon and
evening.
“And if you don’t qualify as an alumni don’t
worry, you can always attend the Meet Me at
the Bridge event in the north shelter at the city
park,” he says. “This event gets bigger and better every year. The evening includes live music
by the band Exit 113, dancing, dinner, wine
sampling and a live auction.”
The six remaining bridges showcased in
Madison County are the Roseman Covered
Bridge built in 1883, Cedar Covered Bridge
built in 1883 but destroyed by arson and
replicated in 2004, Cutler-Donahoe Covered
Bridge built in 1871 and moved to the city park
in 1970, Holliwell Covered Bridge built in 1880,
Hogback Covered Bridge built in 1884 and
the Imes Covered Bridge. The Imes Covered
Bridge is the oldest remaining bridge. It was
built in 1870 and was moved from its original
location over the Middle River near Patterson
to Clanton Creek. After another move, its
present location is east of St. Charles.
“The festival provides fun for everyone;
nothing is exclusive,” explains Hawkins. She
suggests kicking the weekend off with the
Covered Bridge bus tours, when passengers
can not only disembark and experience the
bridges up close, but also share historical fun
facts and trivia with the charismatic tour guides.
In fact, showcasing the bridges is one of the
many ways this year’s Covered Bridge Festival
King and Queen Bob and Phyllis Kaldenberg’s
long history with the celebration began.
“We spent years taking people to the
bridges, getting to enjoy them again and again
through their eyes,” Phyllis says.
The couple has attended the event and
served as essential volunteers since it began.
Phyllis says that in recent years they’ve enjoyed
sharing the weekend working with the many
organizations and vendors along with attend-
The annual car show features hundreds of classic
restored automobiles. Terry Housman of the Central
Iowa Auto Club, which sponsors the event, says anywhere
from 230 to 489 cars have been entered in past years.
The top 24 vehicles are chosen for awards. According to
Housman, “Spectators can see anything from a 1936
Cord to a Rat Rod made of tractor parts to a 2014
Mustang.” Photo courtesy of Terry Housman.

their own children during that second week in

in town overnight for them to help clean the
courthouse lawn following the festival.”
With the honor of being chosen to reign
over the festival’s weekend events, this year will
be undoubtedly different for the Kaldenbergs.
But these well-known Winterset residents
have lived in Madison County for more than 40
years, which makes their personal recollections
of the bridges equally as nostalgic.
“I remember a time when Bob and I took
our children to the Imes Covered Bridge in
its previous location (Clanton Creek),” Phyllis
says. “We let the kids just run around and play
in the water.”
Co-chairs Kerns and Hawkins have an
important goal in mind as the 2014 Covered
Bridge Festival approaches: to continue to
honor the bridges’ culture, memories and
importance with visitors and residents.
“We just want everyone to enjoy themselves,” Kerns says. “It is a Madison County
tradition for everyone. My hope every year
is that others will join in the planning, this is
where the real fun begins.”
Hawkins agrees.
“This event takes a lot of volunteers, and
we would love to see more,” she says. Q
For those who came before us and those who follow after
hen Amanda and Matthew
Hadley married recently at
the Roseman Bridge, the bride
remembers the scenery as nothing short of
breathtaking. It was the romantic and simple
location-wedding she had always envisioned.
“Matthew and I plan on returning to
the bridge every year on our anniversary to
remember that amazing day,” she exclaims.
In the midst of an already unforgettable
moment, the couple learned during the wedding that Matthew’s deceased great-grandmother, Vivian E. Jackson-Wesslund, walked
to school every day over the Roseman
Bridge with her two brothers, Paul and Ray.
The couple feels honored by the notion that
they’re another generation using the bridge
for another special purpose.
The Hadleys’ story is just one of the
many in Madison County that symbolize the
idea behind the 2014 festival theme. The
past memories, present-day experiences and
hopes for the future are exactly why Madison
County has so much to rejoice in each year.
Essentially, the community-wide sense of
gratitude and camaraderie for these “Timeless

Treasures” is due in large part to the popularity of the previous Covered Bridge Festivals.
New residents and visitors come to town
each year becoming part of the tradition,
while faithful attendees find again and again
that there is always something new to see,
learn and adore in Madison County.
Nicole Navin has attended the Bridge
festival since her family moved to Winterset
when she was in the fourth grade. She and
her husband Austin enjoy every aspect of it,
but she admits, their favorite thing is tastetesting the wares of all of the wonderful food
vendors. And, naturally, being enveloped
in the legacies and tales from the bridges
reminds them of their own story. Nicole and
Austin were engaged at the Cutler-Donahoe
Bridge. They’ve been married four years and
have two boys.
“The proposal freezes one of the most
precious memories of our relationship. We
can always return to the bridge to touch that
moment in our hearts. Further, this bridge in
Madison County will hold for our children,
and even our grandchildren, ties to a magical
moment of their heritage,” says Nicole. Q

Victorian remodel
Family home creatively blends old and new
By Monica Pugh
hen Brian and Angela
Van Pelt blended their
family, the home at
703 W. Court fit their needs. In
2008, they made the 1875 Victorian
house their home. While the home
worked for their family as it was,
Brian had a vision for remodel that
would be a better design for them.
“We bought it because it had
space and character,” Brian says.
“We also loved the corner lot
and trees,” Angela says.
Some aesthetic remodeling happened before they moved in, but all
of the changes happened as they
needed the change. The kitchen was
originally placed toward the back of
the house. Brian knew he was going
to move the kitchen to the center
of the home the first time he saw
the house. With that decision came
others, which makes their home a
mix of old with new and modern.
This is the first home Brian has
completely taken down to the bare
bones and remodeled. Remodeling
was difficult at times because old
homes typically aren’t square.
During the tear out, an old mattress, paint cans and two 60-inch
by eight-foot doors complete with
hardware were found in the half-
W
story crawl space. It is unknown
whether those doors were original
to the house because they don’t
seem to fit anywhere.
The handrail to the staircase is
believed to be original. The home
features four bay areas with floorlength windows. The corbels and
gingerbread are still intact on the
outside of the home. Once inside,
the reds, yellows and tans used for
decorating mixed with a modern
kitchen, and trims give the home
a great mix of old with new and
modern original design.
Brian’s office and the family
room toward the back of the home
are enclosed with unique sliding
track doors which Brian fabricated
himself. The laundry was conveniently moved to the second floor.
The kitchen and dining area in the
center of the home blend nicely
with the front living room. Three
bedrooms and a full bath complete
the upstairs living area. With the
exception of a few things to put
finishing touches on, the remodel is
done.
“I was most impressed with
how good the plaster guys were
in the old days at making things
square,” Brian says. Q

INSURANCE
Get the facts
Life insurance needed at all stages of life
By Scot Clark, agent, Farm Bureau Insurance Services
hink about this: The annual
cost of a 20-year, $250,000,
level term life policy for a
healthy 30-year-old consumer is
roughly $150 a year, but according to a new LIFE Foundation and
LIMRA study, Americans estimate
the cost at $400.
T
Don’t let common misconceptions about life insurance keep you
from securing adequate coverage.
The truth is that regardless of your
stage in life, you likely have a need
for life insurance.
Just starting out. Whether
single or married, if you have debt
from college or a mortgage, life
insurance can ensure you don’t
pass on that burden. Life insurance benefits can eliminate the
worry about paying final expenses
or keeping the mortgage or other
debt payments current.
Affordable family protection. When children are part of
your family, life insurance becomes
even more important. The right
life insurance policy can ensure
your children will be provided
for from the time they are small
through college age or their lifetime, depending on the policy.
Single doesn’t mean alone.
For single parents, life insurance
can be even more important than
for two-parent households. Some
singles may provide care for aging
parents or other family members.
With adequate life insurance, you
can help ensure your loved ones’
care and medical costs are covered, should something happen to
you.
Empty nest offers room
to grow. Your kids may be out
of the house, but you likely still
need life insurance to replace lost
income now and in retirement
if the unthinkable happens. Plus,
while the house is “empty,” you
may still wish to help your kids
with college or pay for a wedding.
Financial safety net. Did
you know that some pension plans
cease paying upon your death?
And for retired couples who are
both receiving Social Security benefits, the lower of the two payments will end following the death
of a spouse. You can count on life
insurance to replace these sources
of income and allow your spouse
to continue the retirement lifestyle
you planned.
As your circumstances change,
it’s a good idea to review your
life insurance plan. Ask your agent
how different types of life insurance can create an affordable plan
that protects you and your family.

Q: Can you tell me more
about getting dentures?
Four Square Gospel Church’s KidZone program includes activities and games for children
3 years old through sixth grade.
Flipping for Jesus
Four Square Gospel offers school-year programs
By Monica Pugh
or the past 12 years, Four
Square Gospel Church,
located at 224 E. Court, has
offered its Wednesday night program, KidZone, to community kids
ages 3 years through sixth grade.
The free program started as
an outreach to kids in the community.
“We wanted to show the love
of Jesus to the kids,” says Rebecca
Hornback, current administrator
of the program. Hornback’s husband, Andrew, is the associate
pastor at the church. She helps
with all of the programs in the
church for children of all ages
including Sunday school. Hornback
is assisted by Stacy Woods.
Kids spend the first half an
hour eating dinner, which is most
often prepared by volunteers from
the church. The kids then spend
their time divided in age groups
doing activities, playing games and
singing songs. This year the program will be featuring a video
series called “Flipped.” This series
teaches the kids how Jesus can flip
their life around. KidZone ends at
7:30 p.m.
After KidZone ends, a followup program called KiK begins for
the older kids who wish to learn a
bit more or “kick it up a notch.”
F
“This program gives the older
kids a chance to apply even more
of what they learn during the first
hour,” says Hornback. The programs have approximately 40 kids
participating throughout the year.
“We are blessed to have so
many willing volunteers to help us
by bringing food or giving of their
time,” she says.
During the year, the kids
attending KidZone and KiK have
the opportunity to participate in
other community service activities locally and beyond. Operation
Christmas Child is a well-known
program they like to participate in
outside of our community. They
also enjoy visiting local own nursing homes to do crafts and caroling with the residents. The kids
will put on their annual Christmas
program on a Sunday during
church services.
The church also offers a group
called U-turn, to older students in
the church and community.
KidZone and KiK held their
kick-off event Sept. 3. They meet
September through April beginning at 6 p.m. For more information call the church office at
462-4215 or 515-419-3812. Four
Square Gospel Church is pastored
by Bob and Ann Epperson. Q
A: If all of your teeth are missing, or if the teeth you have are beyond
saving, you may need partial or complete dentures.
It takes a team of people to manufacture one set of dentures. From
your dentist’s office to the lab, dentures are the result of measurements,
impressions, fittings and adjustments. The denture-making process
involves several appointments over a typical period of six weeks.
First, you need a consultation. X-rays are likely to be taken at this
appointment, as well as an exam and discussion of treatment options
and costs. Dentists will preserve your natural teeth if at all possible, but
sometimes it is necessary to extract teeth. After the extractions, your
dentist may possibly make a temporary, immediate denture or recommend waiting a period of time to allow healing to occur before making
the permanent, better-fitting denture.
To begin the denture-making process, impressions are needed to
make a model of your jaws. Next, your dentist will try in the wax mold.
You and your dentist can make any adjustments to the tooth shade,
shape and fit before the permanent dentures are completed.
The final step is seating the dentures. Your dentist can make any
necessary adjustments to insure a proper fit. Your dental professional
will give you instructions on how to care for your new dentures.
In October, we will focus on what to expect with dentures. Q

1976 Mercury Cougar
Barker shares love of old cars with his family
By Monica Pugh
t was a Wednesday afternoon,
just a couple months ago. Chris
Barker was driving his big yellow, 1976 Ford LTD to work
when he realized he had left his
phone in the house. He ran inside
leaving the car running. When
he came back out, he smelled
gas and knew something was not
right. He popped the hood and
watched the car go up in flames
while he called the fire department for back up. Sadly, his car
was a total loss.
Barker has always loved old
cars. His family loves old cars.
His mom even owns her own ’57
Chevy. He loved driving his LTD
for the past three years.
“Old cars have a personality,”
he says. “I sold an old Ford truck
to buy my LTD from a lady here
in town.”
But now he was on a search
for his next daily driver. He had
seen a 1967 Mercury convertible
in Creston. But then his dad saw
a car sitting outside the Stivers
dealership. After checking to see
if it was really for sale and test
driving it, Barker became the
proud owner of a black 1976
I
Mercury Cougar XR7.
Barker is the third owner of
the car, which had 53,000 original
miles at the time of the purchase.
The car was used for trade in
by the previous owner who had
kept it mostly in storage. But the
dealership had been unable to sell
it for over two years despite it
being featured on the showroom
floor.
“The first couple of days I
owned the car, I had a few people
come up to me and offer to buy
it,” Barker says.
Everything on the car is
original. The 351m/400 engine is
clean, and the body has no rust
or weather damage. It features
a cherry red interior, electric
driver’s side seat, power steering
and brakes and crank windows.
On the back bumper shines a
perfect unleaded fuel only sticker
just below the hidden gas cap.
His LTD is basically a total
loss, but he plans to possibly sell
off some of the salvageable parts.
“I didn’t really know if I’d find
an older car to drive again. But I
was in the right place at the right
time,” Barker says. Q

EDUCATION
RECIPE
Meet Josh Henry Comfort food
Educator returns home to teach and coach
By Monica Pugh
orn and raised in Winterset,
Josh Henry is a new teacher
to the Winterset school district this year in second and third
grade special education. He was
also hired as the boys head basketball coach.
Henry is a 2008 Winterset
High School graduate. He began
his college career at Iowa Central
Community College and then
received his elementary education
degree with a special education
endorsement from Grand View
University in 2012.
As a high school student, aside
from being an athlete, Henry was
a mentor and tutor to elementary-aged students. He was also
a substitute associate teacher for
the district before he finished his
degree.
“As long as I can remember,
I wanted to be a teacher and a
coach,” he says. “But it is unique
experience teaching in the same
school I attended as a kid.”
He taught the last year-anda-half at two different elementary
schools for the Des Moines school
district while also being assistant
coach to the Winterset boys basketball team.
Following in the footsteps of
his dad, uncle, and grandpa, Henry
always had a ball in his hands growing up. He played lots of sports but
enjoyed basketball the most. He
holds numerous Winterset basketball records including all-time leading scorer. He played basketball all
four years of his college career and
began his coaching career at Iowa
Christian Academy.

High School in 2008, has returned to teach
and coach. Photos by Monica Pugh.
“It is interesting learning all
the behind-the-scene things as a
coach that I didn’t necessarily realize when I was a young player,”
Henry says.
Henry is looking forward to
the potential of his new players this
year and the possibility of coaching
his younger brother, currently a
freshman, in a couple of years.
“I think back to all my experiences and the teachers and coaches
who cared and made a difference
in my life. I hope to be that kind of
teacher for my students and players,” Henry says.
“We miss seeing him play, but
are looking forward to seeing him
coach,” his family says.
Henry and his wife have been
married a little more than a year.
She is also a new third grade
teacher at Winterset Elementary.
Together they are enjoying life with
their baby boy, who was born this
summer. Q
What did you like best about your teacher?
Grant:
“I like reading
now because of
Mr. Henry.”
his casserole recipe was a favorite with our family when our
three boys were growing up, and a favorite for my husband. It
also serves as a good comfort food when the weather turns chilly
and you want something warm and yummy in the tummy. It uses basic
ingredients that most people have on hand, so it’s easy to put together
and stick in the oven for a quick, tasty dinner.
T
I wrestled with my choices for a recipe this month, so asked my
husband for his advice. His response was a big yes for Goody Casserole
— it’s definitely one of his all-time favorites. It is also a great dish to prepare and take to another family that might be in need of an easy dinner
to stick in the oven. It has ingredients that most people are able to eat,
and it’s easy and delicious. My husband and I rarely eat pasta, as we have
eliminated most wheat from our diets. I made it tonight with zucchini
noodles and tomato sauce made from veggies from our garden. You can
substitute or adjust ingredients according to taste or what you have on
hand. This certainly isn’t a fancy dish, but one that is a basic recipe that
should satisfy most hungry diners around your dinner table. Q

eptember
is
National
Childhood Obesity Awareness
Month. Recently we learned
that childhood obesity is on a slight
decline in Iowa, and that is great
news. But it is important that we
continue to promote a healthy lifestyle and help future generations
become even healthier.
If we look at this as a “teaching
moment” and commit ourselves to
helping our children get into better
shape, the whole family will get into
better shape, too. You can help
your family move more each day
and have fun with it. Eat right and
move more; it’s that simple.
Think about what your family
can do to be active. It doesn’t have
to be expensive. Start by taking a
family walk. Check with the parks
and recreation department and see
what’s going on this fall.
One thing you can do as a family is join us for the seventh annual
“Kickin’ Up For Health” 5K Run/
Walk on Saturday, Sept. 20. We’ll
start at the hospital at 8 a.m. Kids
are welcomed to join us. If Mom
and Dad want to participate, we
have a supervised bounce house for
the kids while you run or walk.
Another event on the horizon
is the third annual Start Somewhere
Wa1K. (You’ll note the 1K in
Wa1K.) 1K is about eight blocks.
That’s all you need to get started
on the path of a healthier lifestyle.
Join us at noon on Wednesday,
Oct. 8 at the north entrance to the
hospital for our stroll.
s Make time and make it a
priority. Plan ahead. Make physical
activity a regular part of your family's schedule. Write it on a family
activity calendar.
s Pick activities requiring
no new skills, such as walking
or climbing stairs.
s )DENTIFY FREE TIMES Keep
track of your daily activities for
one week. Pick two 30-minute time
S
slots you could use for family activity time.
s !DD PHYSICAL ACTIVITY TO
your daily routine. For example,
walk or ride your bike to work,
school or a friend's house, have
a family dog walk, exercise while
you watch TV or park farther away
from your destination.
s4RYTOWALKJOGORSWIM
during your lunch hour, or take
fitness breaks instead of coffee
breaks. Try doing something active
after dinner with your family.
s 0LAN ACTIVITIES FOR WEEKends.
s -AKE FRIENDS Ask friends
and family to not only support, but
also join you in your efforts. Set up
a party or other social event with
activities that get people moving,
like dancing or having a jump rope
contest. Exercise with friends. Play
with your kids or ask them to join
you for an exercise video or fitness
game.
s $EVELOP NEW FRIENDSHIPS
with physically active people.
Join a group, such as one of the fitness centers or the bike club. Start
a walking or hiking club.
One should never start an exercise program without checking with
one’s health care provider. Visit the
Health Trust Physicians Clinic in
Winterset or the Earlham Clinic in
Earlham and get the “A-OK” to get
you and your family into shape.
We thank the National Center
for Disease Control for some of
these tips. Q
