A new year, and for many a new beginning in some form or another. Many of you may have made resolutions to eat healthier, exercise more, start a new habit or stop a bad one. I wish you all success. My resolution is to make each day a more productive one. I tend to put things off and am always behind. We shall see how I do! January 7 is Old Rock Day. I am always looking for pretty rocks or shells. If the 7th isn’t a nice outdoor day, try another, but do go out into the quiet and look for pretty rocks. The peace and beauty around you is quite lifting. January 10 is Houseplant Appreciation Day. Now that the holiday decorations are put away, focus on your houseplants. If you don’t have any, consider starting a couple. Houseplants add warmth to a home and make you feel good having something to nurture until we can all get outside and get into our flower beds. Check out the winter gardening ad. They have some great classes coming up in March to help get us ready for spring. January 21 is Squirrel Appreciation Day. When the outside view is rather boring, watching the squirrels run up and down trees chasing one another is rather entertaining. If you’re itching to get out of the house, check out our entertainment guide. There is something for all ages all the time. Enjoy. Our home feature this month is from Donohoe Custom Homes. This five bedroom, three baths home has extras I would not have thought about. The study nook off the kitchen is a great idea, so mom or dad can cook and answer questions about homework at the same time. This looks like a great family home no matter the size of the family. Wanting a new art piece or to refresh the branding on your business? See the article on Russ Falge: Cedar Rapids Hybrid Artist or go visit his studio in the Cherry building. You won’t be disappointed. Nina has a couple of great recipes to keep us warm on a cold winter night and if you don’t want to cook check out our corridor restaurants. Various times some of our advertisers wonder if anyone is seeing their ads. I for one don’t go into a new place and tell them I saw you in City Revealed. For this reason, I would like to make a Wall of Appreciation. So for the next few months if you have visited a past of present advertiser and had a good experience, please e-mail us at [email protected] or [email protected] . We will then put them on our appreciation wall in the upcoming months. There is a lot of information within these pages. I hope you enjoy the read and enjoy this new year of 2016. God Bless. 2 CITY REVEALED MAGAZINE 4 Differences Matter in Donohoe Custom Homes 10 Step up the Savings in 2016 12 A Blue-Chipper 1958 15 16 20 21 23 Chevrolet Apache Pickup Braving the Elements It’sBefittingto“BeFit”in2016 Recipes by Nina Swan-Kohler Winter Pet Safety Mom’s United Can Make Real Change American Heart Association Family-FunintheCorridor 25 Restaurant Guide 28 Cedar Rapids Hybrid Artist Russ Fagle 29 January Events 2016 City Revealed Magazine Subscription Now for your convenience, City Revealed Magazine can come to your door.

CITY REVEALED MAGAZINE 3 Article by Cindy Hadish Photography by Kevin Bassett Classic styling meets high-tech amenities in a new home just north of Cedar Rapids by Donohoe Custom Homes. Up-and-coming builder, Bradley Donohoe, has been in the construction world for 15 years and went the extra mile on the home at 2925 Diamondhead Rd., Hiawatha, in the Pines at Turtle Creek subdivision. The quiet community offers many eco-friendly features, a spacious 1-acre park and full basketball court for recreation and gatherings, in a scenic location edged by stately pine trees. Donohoe’s five bedroom, three bath ranch home offers an equally stately presence on Diamondhead Road, with a smoky gray exterior providing a contrast to the lighter-colored full bed quarry stone at the entrance. The three-stall garage uses a Liftmaster garage door opener that operates from a smart phone, one of the many advanced amenities in the home. “It’s a reflection of myself,” Donohoe said of the work and special features he’s put into the home, which includes full overlay cabinets, oversized mirrors in the bathrooms and ceiling fans in all main-level bedrooms. 4 CITY REVEALED MAGAZINE With more than 3,000-square-feet of finished space, the house fittingly captures Donohoe’s energetic personality. His girlfriend, who has a degree in interior design, assists with suggestions on colors and other features. Handscraped hardwood flooring in a unique maple chocolate provides a welcoming entrance upon entering the home, with a distressed texture and rustic appeal. The 11-foot-high coffered ceiling adds dimension, character and a breath-taking first impression in the great room with its grid of bold beams. Gray tones in the granite countertops and tile backsplash, along with a remarkable bubble light fixture, provide a modern feel in the kitchen. Pendant lights over the kitchen island are controlled using a countertop air switch, and both kitchen and bathroom fixtures are from the Delta Addison Collection, adding to the classic ambiance of the home, while USB ports on each side of the kitchen island provide convenient connections. The kitchen cabinets feature soft-close dovetail drawers and all-wood construction, while the pantry light is eco-friendly, by turning on when the door is open and off when it’s closed; particularly convenient when someone’s hands are full. Donohoe said many of the features are unique, and he’s happy to provide something a bit different to capture a niche in the home buyer’s market. “I’m going the extra mile in a lot of places,” he said. The great room’s 40-inch fireplace has a custom mantle and full bed Aux Vases quarry stone from St. Louis, echoing the home’s exterior stone. Large windows and a 9-foot sliding-glass door let in ample natural light, with a composite deck and patio just outside. The spacious onethird acre lot overlooks green space in Pines at Turtle Creek, for a relaxing getaway. Donohoe tucked the home’s staircase behind the kitchen, leading to two sizable bedrooms on the lower level, the third bathroom, and a kitchenette with a sink and beverage cooler and granite countertop colors that carry over from the kitchen. Plenty of space is available in the carpeted room for an entertainment center, pool table or ping-pong table, while unfinished space provides ample room for storage of holiday decorations and more. Appliances, with Energy Star ratings, along with the home’s insulation, energy-efficient water heater and furnace and other features add up to a very energy-efficient home. Donohoe included USB ports on either side of the bed’s location in the master bedroom, as well as in a study nook off of the kitchen, and five central vacuum ports are located throughout the house. The master bathroom features a glass shower with fixtures from the Delta Addison Collection, while a highlight of the master bedroom is an oversized transom window that offers another example of Donohoe’s penchant for natural light. Noting the one-year warranty on the home, Donohoe promises to go beyond, if the need arises, as a commitment to his clients. In addition to dedication to customers, Donohoe Custom Homes is recognized for attention to detail, quality results, clear communication and on-track progress. The company’s core values of integrity, honesty, respect, quality and responsibility are carried through each step of the building process.

DeVore also notes that it’s important to “be judicious about paying loans on time to avoid penalties and borrow money only when absolutely necessary for more expensive items like a home mortgage or a vehicle.” She cautions not to borrow money, and pay the resulting interest rates, for things like vacations or other optional purchases. By Andrea Thomson Viner If you’re resolving to improve your finances in 2016, the first thing you need to do is set up a budget. Lynne DeVore, Chief Operating Officer at the Millhiser Smith Agency in Cedar Rapids, recommends the following steps to create a budget. First, you need to chart your sources of expected income and expenses. These include: Main source(s) of income Possible atypical or inconsistent sources of income (any side income earned from a small business or hobby, inheritances, etc.) Consistent expenses, such as housing, loan payments for vehicles, school loans, utilities, cell phones, food, clothing, insurance, etc. Expenses that tend to come up on a periodic basis that you might want to budget for (Christmas gifts, vacations, etc.) Emergency expenses for when the unexpected happens (loss of job, medical expenses, car repairs, etc.) Savings/retirement Next, DeVore says you should “calculate your approximate expenses vs. income stream per month.” If there’s not money left over to compensate for emergencies or to put money in savings/retirement accounts, then you should make changes to the income stream or expenses. Some questions to ask yourself when grappling with this issue include: Is this expense a necessity? Can I lower the expense or cut it out entirely? If you need to lower your expenses, DeVore suggests spending less on food. She says, “To save money, prepare meals at home as much as possible and leave dining out to a minimum for special circumstances.” Trent Hamm, author of The Simple Dollar and 365 Ways to Live Cheap, agrees. He says that in the U.S., the average meal out costs $12.75 Once you’ve set up a budget and worked out an appropriate balance between income stream and expenses, you can consider where it’s best to invest money, especially for retirement. “If you have a 401k plan offered through your employer,” says DeVore, “take advantage of that to set up regular contributions to a retirement fund.” If you don’t have a retirement fund set up through an employer, a financial advisor can provide reliable investment advice and help you create a fund. If you need to improve your credit score or your financial outlook in general, DeVore recommends paying off loans with the highest interest rates first. However, she says that you could also pay off any fairly small loans entirely, then focus on paying more toward the loan with the highest interest rate. For larger loans, try to pay more than the minimum monthly payment so you’re putting more money toward the principle of the loan. Consider opportunities to refinance loans when lower interest rates become available. If you’re finding it difficult to save for retirement because other needs seem more pressing, or retirement seems so far off, DeVore suggests, “Start small, with an amount you know will be relatively painless.” She also recommends an automatic direct deposit to a savings or retirement account so you don’t have to make that decision every time you get a paycheck. Then try to increase the amount that you deposit in the savings account. Ask yourself what you could do without to increase your savings. “You might find that you can cut out a couple little indulgences each week that can make a big difference in your ability to save for your future,” says DeVore. Since tackling a budget and financial planning on your own make seem daunting, DeVore says, “Financial advisors are a great resource to help you determine whether you are on track or need to make adjustments. Take advantage of their expertise and have a financial review regularly to help give you peace of mind.” The Millhiser Smith Agency offers financial reviews and investment advice. CITY REVEALED MAGAZINE 9 10 CITY REVEALED MAGAZINE A few years ago I was privileged to attend a week long Stephen Covey seminar on “The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People.” It was a great learning and teambuilding experience for all who made the trip. The good news is that one doesn’t have to attend a Covey seminar to reap the benefits of his life management philosophy. In his book “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People,” he shares wisdom about living life on purpose. One of the principles he emphasizes is: “The key is not to prioritize what’s on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities.” Most everyone has a long list of things that have to get done. In making sure those are taken care of, we need to remember the things that really need to get done. Does the schedule determine the priorities or do the priorities determine the schedule? Are the most important duties in life getting done? Time with our families? Time with our friends? Time with God? Time tending to our own, spiritual, physical, mental and emotional health? When are those “getting done?” There is a story in the bible about Jesus visiting the home of his friends Mary and Martha. Martha was a productive person. She liked “getting things done.” While Jesus was there, she was busy taking care of business around the house. There were things to organize, a meal to cook, a table to set. As an added bonus, while she was getting these things done, she talked to herself loud enough that people could hear her disgust with the fact they weren’t helping her. Unlike Martha, Mary decided that priority one that day was to sit at the feet of Jesus and listen to him teach. In the midst of Martha’s schedule and irritation toward others, Jesus said to her: “You are worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better and it will not be taken away from her.” (Luke 10:41-42) Everyone has things that have to be done. We can’t push them back on the schedule forever. They plain and simply have to get done. Everyone also has things that need to be done. Today, get to what needs to be done before getting to what has to be done. First do what matters most. The result? It will never be taken away from you. John Seitz, Senior Pastor Antioch Christian Church 7215 Cottage Grove Parkway, Marion www.lifeisforliving.org CITY REVEALED MAGAZINE 11 Article and photography by Richard Butschi Pickups have become a mainstay in the world of classic hot rod vehicles and one of the most sought-after styles were the Advance-Design Chevrolets that were built from 1947 to March of 1955. Chevy was number one in truck sales during that era. The successor to that series was tabbed the Task Force Series, which ran from 1955 to 1959. At the dealerships, it was called the “Blue Chip Series.” All trucks of a “series” were basically the same vehicle with minor options and add-ons offered from year to year. For example, in 1955 one could order the 12-volt electrical system, the new 265cu.in. V8 and get the pickup bed in six, seven or eight-foot lengths. The wrap-around windshield and rear window were offered on Deluxe cabs, that year – a truck industry first - as well as power steering and brakes. In 1958, the “fleetside” bed was first introduced, along with a redesigned front end that featured dual headlights. It was the first year for factory a/c in a truck, too. The light-duty trucks were called “Apaches:” mediumduty trucks were “Vikings:” heavy-duty ones were tabbed “Spartans.” The Apache was an immediate hit, with its tall cab that provided scenic views, and low-slung bed. This styling is what caught the eye of Harold and Barb Clarke, of Marion, particularly the “step-side” bed. It also was a connection to their past, seeing many of them around town in their early days. 12 CITY REVEALED MAGAZINE This particular Apache originally came from Arkansas, but ended up in Risco, Missouri, just across the border. After locating it via the internet, they actually made two trips to Risco. The first time they developed cold feet, thinking maybe it was too much for a toy that they were just going to cruise with to the local DQ or nearby Tastee-Freez. After reconsideration, they picked it up in May of 2015. Since then, they needed more excuses to get the deep red beauty on the road, so they took a shot at entering it in a show at the Cedar County Fair in Tipton, and were shocked when they received their first plaque. Their second award came shortly thereafter on August 1st at the ADM Sweet Rides show, and in September, they picked up their third piece of hardware at the Swisher Men’s Club show. Area car shows are now part of their regular schedule. The drivetrain for the ‘58 consists of a 350 V8, teamed with a 350 TH automatic and a rearend from a ‘94 S10 Blazer. It also sports power windows, power steering, front disc brakes, a new 4-core radiator, Dolphin gauges, dual exhaust, new carpet and headliner and Vintage a/c. Harold got some help from Barb’s brother-in-law, Lewie Brimeyer of Dubuque, when upgrading to a better alternator, along with a new Edelbrock intake and carburetor. Although it looks like everything is in order on the Apache, both Harold and Barb realize that “they’re never really done” and new items and upgrades are inevitable. Even the original deep Sherwood Green paint was changed by the previous owner to the gorgeous Suzuki Salsa Red that seems to be so fitting. The Clarkes story is a common one. Boy (and/or girl) meets vehicle, attracted to its lines and styling. An infatuation develops and quickly grows into a fullblown love affair, complete with upgrades and improvements that personalize and cement the relationship. The development of this bond brings them in contact with others that have gone through the same transformation. That’s the beauty of this hobby. In the end, it’s the people involved that are the important connection. After a mere seven months, Harold and Barb are making this discovery. CITY REVEALED MAGAZINE 13 Caregiver stress: Tips for Taking Care of Yourself With an aging population more care-giving is being provided by people who aren’t healthcare professionals. Being there for your loved ones when they need you is important. But being a caregiver can be a full-time job. Without realizing it, caregivers can suffer emotional and physical strain. They are also more likely to experience symptoms of depression or anxiety. Individuals who experience caregiver stress are putting their own health at risk. Many fall into the trap of believing that they have to do everything themselves. Don’t make that mistake. Take advantage of the resources and tools available to help you. Remember, if you don’t take care of yourself you won’t be able to care for anyone else. Watch for these signs of caregiver stress: •Feeling exhausted all the time, overwhelmed and irritable. •Gaining or losing a lot of weight due to lack of nutrition or stress eating. •Losing interest in activities you used to enjoy. How to deal with the stress: •Accept help. Be prepared with a list of ways that others can help you. For instance, allow someone to pick up groceries, sit with your loved one or to cook for you twice a week. •Focus on what you are able to provide. Don’t give in to guilt. Feeling guilty is normal, but understand that no one can do everything all the time. Your house does not have to be spotless and the dishes will be there tomorrow. •Join a support group. A support group can be a great source for encouragement and advice. It can also be a good place to make new friends. •Utilize Respite Care. It may be hard to leave your loved one in someone else’s care, but taking a break is one of the best things you can do for yourself and the person you’re caring for. Most communities have some type of respite care available, such as: Milestones Adult Day Center, local Memory Care Communities like Meadowview, Home Care Companies, Nursing facilities. Rather than struggling, acknowledge your needs. Take advantage of local resources for caregivers so that you can provide for your loved one but also stay healthy and have quality of life yourself. Angie McClure - elder care expert - Director of Community Relations for RidgeView Assisted Living & MeadowView Memory Care Village. 14 CITY REVEALED MAGAZINE By Sally Welsh Winter can frustrate the most motivated exerciser. But keeping up your exercise routine in cold weather can be rewarding. Exercise bolsters your immune system and increases your energy. Studies show that moderate exercisers get 20 to 30 percent fewer colds than those who do not exercise. Outdoor exercise is also a sure cure for cabin fever and the winter blues. There are multiple exercise options to choose from. Here are some suggestions if you would like to take the “indoor route.” • Walk in a Mall. If you need motivation to get yourself to the mall join a walking group. • Join a health club or hospital “Keep Fit Club.” This will allow you a variety of activities to choose from every week. •Create a home gym. This doesn’t have to be expensive. You can easily setup a great workout routine with just a set of dumbbells, an exercise ball and jump rope. • If you have stairs where you live or close by, spend as little as 20 minutes at a time climbing up and down the stairs for a very intense and efficient workout. •Find a local indoor pool you can use. Try swimming, water aerobics or even just walking or running laps in the water. •Usually local libraries offer exercise videos you can check out for free. Pickup a new one to try out, every time you return the previous video. And then there is the great outdoors! •Take a brisk walk or jog in the cool air. •Shoveling snow is a great total body workout. •Slope skiing, cross country skiing and snowboarding are great exercises to try. Consult an instructor beforehand. •Go Ice Skating. This is a great workout for your legs. If temperatures do not allow you to skate outside, find a local skating rink. Instructors can usually lend a hand. •Build a snowman and make some angels. This is fun for the whole family. Before you begin. •Always check with your doctor. Experts say that almost everyone can exercise safely in the cold, including people with heart and asthma conditions. •Protect your extremities. When it’s cold, blood is shunted to your body’s core, leaving your hands and feet vulnerable to frostbite. Try wearing a thin pair of gloves, under a pair of heavier gloves or mittens lined with fleece or wool. You may want to buy exercise shoes a half-size larger than usual to allow for thick thermal socks or an extra pair of regular socks. And don’t forget the hat or headband and facemask; 30 to 40 % of your body heat is lost through your head. •Layer it on! One of the biggest mistakes cold-weather exercisers make is dressing too warmly. Exercise generates a considerable amount of heat. Enough to make you feel like it’s 30 degrees warmer than it really is. Dress in layers that you can remove as soon as you start to sweat and then put them back on as soon as needed. •Drink plenty of fluids. Drink water or sports drinks before, during, and after your workout, even if you’re not thirsty. •Pay attention to wind chill. The wind can penetrate your clothes and remove the insulating layer of warm air that surrounds your body. Know the wind chill factor and adjust your activity accordingly. •Know the signs of frostbite. Frostbite is most common on your face, fingers and toes. Early warming signs include numbness, paleness, and loss of feeling and a stinging sensation. If you feel any of these symptoms get out of the cold immediately and slowly warm the affected area without rubbing. If numbness continues, seek emergency care. You can fully enjoy your winter exercise by changing your options with the weather. Doing something different makes the challenge a lot more interesting! CITY REVEALED MAGAZINE 15 Start the New Year with a goal for becoming healthier and fit. How do we do this, you say? By the choices we make every single day! The first choice/decision should be to eat right and exercise. This is something we’ve heard so often that it doesn’t seem to mean anything to anyone anymore. As a new year begins, we need to choose our foods more carefully than ever. Many of us resolve to “start over,” eat healthy, or take off a few unwanted pounds. This year, make a New Year’s resolution to set aside more time to cook healthful meals for your family, using healthier ingredients. As a nutritionist, I have found that most people know that they should eat leaner meats (beef and pork), more fish, seafood, chicken and turkey. Most people also know that they should eat more vegetables every day. In 2016, choose to eat the less starchy and lowcarbohydrate vegetables like spinach, green beans, celery, sugar snap peas, squash, tomatoes, lettuce, bell peppers, etc. Limit the amount of potatoes, corn and peas that you include in your meals. Also, try to limit the 16 CITY REVEALED MAGAZINE amount of rice, bread and pasta that you eat. Whole grains breads and cereals are healthier choices, but one should really limit the number of servings they eat each day. Beware of large “servings.” Some bagels are so large may be considered to be 2 to 3 servings, from a nutritional point of view. Another surprise for many people is that we need to be careful to not over-indulge on fruit. Most of us love fruit, but fruit can come with a fair amount of calories, etc. too. While it’s convenient to eat a whole piece of fruit, some fruits are so large that they are actually considered two servings. Why not at least attempt to eat only ½ of a banana, apple, orange or pear at a time? And, not to be the bearer of bad news, but as you already know, we also need to limit all the foods and beverages that are “empty calorie” foods, like soft drinks, alcohol and most desserts (cookies, cakes, pies, etc.). These foods and drinks supply lots of calories, but very little nutritional value. In addition to wanting to eat healthier foods, we also want to eat foods that are easy and quick to prepare. These new recipes pass the test with flying colors. These recipes are also low in calories and carbohydrates, but high on flavor. As a culinary professional, I suggest that you can minimize your time in the kitchen by purchasing canned juice, broth, canned diced tomatoes, and frozen vegetables to simplify preparations when possible. Serve one of these soups each time you want to have a satisfying meal that is rich in nutritional value but without the extra, unwanted calories. Finally, get up and get active! If you need a bit of help to motivate yourselves, one of the best investments is to get a tracking device that will help you keep track of your activity and count your steps (and track lots of other things, too). I personally wear a Fitbit tracker on my wrist. The basic goal for most people is to walk at least 10,000 steps each day. “Getting credit” for the steps I’ve taken in a day (if only for my satisfaction) is very motivating for me and makes me happy to walk and be more active. Why not join me in “taking steps” to get healthier and fit in 2016.

By Andrea Thomson Viner When winter weather approaches, we dig out our scarves and boots, check the car tires, and stock up on salt and kitty litter. But we also need to make sure our pets are ready for ice, snow, and cold temperatures. According to the Humane Society of the United States website, “pets are always happiest and healthiest indoors.” But dogs still need to go outside to potty, of course, and for walks. Keep in mind that some shorthaired breeds may need sweaters or coats to go out. Make sure to monitor dogs while they’re outside in cold temperatures because their ears, noses, and paws can get frostbite surprisingly quickly. Also, if a dog’s wearing any clothing for warmth, they can sometimes get tangled. For walks, outfit yourself and your pup with reflective gear to keep you both safe. If your pet must spend any extended time outside, make sure it has a warm, dry, protected shelter. The Humane Society states that the shelter should be big enough for the animal to stand and lie down comfortably, but small enough that it will contain its body heat. The floor needs to be raised a few inches off the ground and covered with straw or shavings that are checked regularly and kept dry. Some people provide shelters to feral cats in their neighborhood. Visit www.alleycat.org for ideas on simple, inexpensive shelters you can create for feral cats or to purchase a shelter. For any animal that spends time outdoors in the winter, their caloric needs may increase as their body works to keep warm. Talk to your vet about how many more calories your pet may need during the cold months. Also, the winter months can be tough on pets with arthritis, just like humans, so ask your vet about supplements or pain Paws need extra attention during the winter months too. Snow, ice, and salt can irritate dogs’ paw pads and cause cracking and other problems. If your dog will tolerate them, you could try booties. Otherwise, especially for walks or extended play time in the snow, try paw wax or petroleum jelly. Simply apply it to their paw pads before heading outdoors. Whether you apply something to their paws or not, you’ll need to wipe their paw pads with warm water and then dry them thoroughly when they come back inside. For dogs with longer coats, trim the fur in between their paw pads to prevent snow or ice balls that can cause irritation and become painful. In addition to the salt and de-icing agents we use to combat winter elements, antifreeze can pose a risk to pets as well. Ingesting antifreeze can be fatal for both dogs and cats, and unfortunately it has a sweet taste, so they’re attracted to it. Dogs may eat antifreeze from a puddle, and cats could just walk through it then ingest it later while cleaning paws. Even that small amount can be toxic to felines. So check for leaks from your car and make sure containers of antifreeze have secure lids and are stored on a high shelf. Again, if it’s too cold outside for humans, it’s too cold outside for pets, so keeping them warm and toasty indoors is the best option. However, the low humidity indoors can cause dry, flaky skin for pets, just like it can for humans, so keep your home humidified as much as possible. If your pet spends time in an area of the house, or a garage for example, that is cold, be very cautious about using space heaters. If you need to use a space heater, choose one that does not get hot enough to start a fire and offers safety features like a cool-to-thetouch exterior and automatic shut-off. This winter, snuggle close to your pets and keep them safe! Sources: www.aspca.org and www.humanesociety.org. CITY REVEALED MAGAZINE 19 20 CITY REVEALED MAGAZINE By Cindy Hadish Michaela makes sure her children have plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. Rocky enjoys participating in outdoor activities with her daughters and Kalena leads by example, making healthy choices so her two children follow in her footsteps. The three mothers are among those highlighted in a new Life is Why campaign from the American Heart Association, called “Moms Unite,” which focuses on engaging mothers as the “chief health officers” of families. “This year’s campaign will work to unite moms by celebrating what they are already doing and helping them realize that they have the power to make real change in the health of families everywhere,” said Rachel Lawrence, Eastern Iowa Communications Director for the American Heart Association. “We know that if more moms make healthy living a priority for themselves and their families, our impact will be even greater.” Lawrence said the goal is to connect moms through social media and share those messages. The American Heart Association, the nation’s oldest and largest voluntary organization dedicated to fighting heart disease and stroke, was founded in 1924 and now includes more than 22.5 million volunteers and supporters. The group funds innovative research, fights for stronger public health policies, and provides critical tools and information to save and improve lives. ‘We want families to live healthier, longer lives so they can experience more of life’s precious moments,” the Moms Unite webpage notes. “That’s why we’ve made heart and brain health our mission. But we can’t do it without you. You’re at the heart of change. Together, we can realize a healthier future for families everywhere. Starting with yours.” The webpage includes videos of real moms and provides opportunities to connect with the campaign. Already, mom have been sharing Christmas photos of their children with Santa, seeking ideas for healthy snacks and more by connecting through the Moms Unite Facebook page, at: www.facebook.com/groups/AHAMomsUnite. As of last month, more than 800 members had already joined the Facebook group to share their stories. “Priceless moment - As I feel a little sad that my daughter is growing up and the Santa magic is no longer, I am reminded how incredibly fast the time is passing,” one mother wrote. “Then my daughter (14) grabs my hand while we are shopping and says, ‘thanks for making Christmas so fun, mom.’ Treasure every second and embrace the time that is NOW!” Another connection point is through a Thunderclap effort, with the goal of recruiting 500 supporters by Jan. 11. Supporters will have the same message shared through Thunderclap on Facebook, Twitter or Tumblr. Supporting a Thunderclap campaign is like signing a petition, but with the added power of simultaneously sharing a message. If the goal of 500 supporters is met, the one-time message will read: “We have the power to make change for the health of ourselves & our families. Join me & American Heart! #FamilyIsWhy http://thndr.me/XWerWn” Lawrence said the latest campaign is a continuation of the American Heart Association’s ongoing efforts towards public health education. The group is the nation’s leader in CPR education training; helps people understand the importance of healthy lifestyle choices; and provides science-based treatment guidelines to health care professionals to help them provide quality care to their patients. The American Heart Association also educates lawmakers, policymakers and the public in advocating for changes to protect and improve the health of communities. Moms are an important way to spread those messages, Lawrence said, and the Moms Unite effort allows them to hear from other moms who are making healthy choices for themselves and their families, to change the future of health. Moms can serve more fruits and vegetables at home, as the American Heart Association has helped 30 million children have healthier lunches at school; for example, and teach their children to look both ways before crossing the street, while the group has trained more than 1 million high school students life-saving CPR. The efforts show that by working together, the impact means a future of healthier families living longer lives. “By joining in the conversation,” Lawrence said, “moms can unite to make real change.” Find the ThunderClap campaign and see more on the American Heart Association’s Moms Unite webpage at: www.lifeiswhy.org/moms Connect on Facebook at: www.facebook.com/groups/ AHAMomsUnite CITY REVEALED MAGAZINE 21 22 CITY REVEALED MAGAZINE January 4, 5, 11, 12, 18, 19, 25, & 26, 2016 Toddler Story Time 10:30 – 11am Iowa City Pubic Library 123 S Linn St., Iowa City 319.356.5200 www.icpl.org January 4, 2016 Wendy’s Fundraiser 5 – 7pm 362 33rd Ave SW, Cedar Rapids 319.365.1454 www.kids1stgym.com January 6, 2016 Kids First Gymnastics Story Time 9 – 10am 4601 6th St SW Suite A Cedar Rapids, IA 52404 319.365.1454 www.kids1stgym.com January 7, 2016 Doodlebugs – Jackson Pollock 10:30am Cedar Rapids Museum of Art 410 3rd Ave. SE, Cedar Rapids 319.366.7503 www.crma.org Pajama Storytime 7pm Cedar Rapids Museum of Art 410 3rd Ave. SE, Cedar Rapids 319.366.7503 www.crma.org Kids Create 3pm Coralville Public Library 1401 Fifth St, Coralville January 10, 2016 March of Dimes Fundraiser 5pm $10 - $5 goes directly to March of Dimes Unlimited Mini Golf, Rock Climbing, Indoor Playground SpaceBall, JumpShot, Bumper Cars, Pizza & Soda plus 1 game of laser tag!

He grew up in Northeast Iowa near Oelwein and relocated to Cedar Rapids in 1995. He made his home as a self-employed artist in the Cherry Building in 2002 and has been there ever since. His studio, gallery, and company, Mixed Media Magic, are all housed in The Cherry Building. He posits, “the Cherry building is one of the reasons [he] stayed in Cedar Rapids.” Inspiration has always found him there. People who stop by his studio often ask if there are four or five different artists working there because Fagle’s art is immensely diverse. From his NewBo poster series, to delicate abstracts, to pencil drawings, Fagle feels comfortable working across genres and styles. Having a background in graphic design and illustration, has worked to his favor as he has recently designed the official logos for the New Bohemia Group and NewBo Sushi. Creative Consultant is another hat he wears. Companies hire him to generate branding ideas and strategies. He draws inspiration from everywhere — “a book of quantum physics could lead to the idea for an amusement park. Aristotle’s words could inspire designs for kitchen products.” Fagle believes, “the more that I learn the more my projects are enriched.” He connects different disciplines and different ideas with his creative pursuits to give them more depth, validity, and ingenuity. With a small group, Fagle helped envision the whole “New Bohemia” concept. Together, they conceptualized the idea of an artistic district. The inception of this idea was in the early 2000s even though people generally assume it was created after the floods of 2008. However, Fagle and his co-creators had planted the seeds of the NewBo movement before that and once there was a platform for rebuilding and allocated resources, NewBo was, as Fagle puts it, “ready to blossom.” In response to the public interest and demand for approachable art experiences, Fagle founded Mixed Media Magic a couple of years ago. Mixed Media Magic is a unique art party experience where each guest doesn’t just pick up a paintbrush, but stencils, pencils, stamps, and more to create pieces of art. He believes that there is “a lot of pent up creativity in the workplace and in life in general.” This knowledge is what led him to create Mixed Media Magic as a way for people to experience the joy of creating without the limits of a traditional follow-the-leader art experience. There are no boundaries when it comes to classes with Fagle. He is a diverse artist and wants the flexibility to not limit his students to just acrylic painting on canvas. He’s excited to do collage, jewelry, and decoupage with guests at his events. Fagle generally offers classes monthly at the Cherry Building and at NewBo City Market. He also will host private parties and will travel throughout the corridor and beyond. He says that if you have enough people signed up, he’d travel across the country or even abroad. Concocting a supportive, fun, and unique environment, Fagle is committed to the shared experience of creating art without boundaries.
