Financial
push-ups
good friend told me of a conversation he had several years ago
with a financial planner who asked him what he would do if his
wife suddenly died. After being a bit startled by the question, my
friend raised his eyebrows, put his hands on his extended stomach, let
out a deep sigh and said, “Well, the first thing I would have to do is start
going to the gym.”
That’s a silly answer, of course, but the
basic question is one of several we should
all consider and ask ourselves. Do we have
the finances in place so we can survive
financially without our spouse? Have we
put away several months of income to live
on in case we lose our job or can’t work?
Have we saved enough for our children’s
education? Do we have funds invested
properly so we can retire at the age we
desire to do so?
Most of us don’t want to face those
questions because we already know the
answers, and they aren’t good ones.
For this month’s cover story, we interviewed local financial planners
and asked for advice on how to properly plan for retirement and other
important events in our future. You may find some of their suggestions
surprising, but most are just common sense tips we need reminders on
every so often — kind of like going to the gym.
Thanks for reading.

RETIREMENT
LOCAL EXPERTS OFFER THEIR
ADVICE FOR EFFECTIVE PLANNING
By Morgan Boston
eople need to begin investing in their
20s and be consistent in putting money
into retirement investments every
month to retire with a lifestyle they may
envision while still working.
P
That’s the message from three Perry
professionals — Dean Haaland with Haaland
Financial Services, Ted Smith with Edward D.
Jones and David Finneseth with Farm Bureau.
Of course, now more than ever, what
people planned in their retirements may not
economically be the case any longer. Many
people have been forced into early retirement, laid off or underemployed. Some people have dipped into or drained retirement
funds just to get by. Studies have shown that
people nearing retirement today either have
to continue working longer, or they want to
work longer.
“People will need to save as much as they
possibly can and learn to live within their
means,” says Haaland. He advises people who
may be laid off or underemployed to try very
hard not to dip into their retirement funds
from previous jobs. Not only are there taxes
to pay at a high rate, but penalties as well.
Operating within a budget is something
people of all ages need to do, Haaland says.
If a person can’t afford to go out to eat
without putting it on a credit card, then they
should eat at home, he says, adding, “People
use credit cards way too easily.”
For working folks, Haaland advises people
to take advantage of 401K savings, particularly if there is a company match.
That’s not to say investing is easy or with-

David Finneseth (right) in Perry.
out some risk, but the risk can be minimized.
People who are older may want to put less
of their investments into higher-risk stocks,
while people who are younger have more
time on their side and can afford to take more
risks with their investments, Haaland says.
He has his clients fill out a questionnaire
to help them determine how much risk they
can tolerate.
“You want to get a good return, but
you also want to be able to sleep at night,”
Haaland says.
If a person is within five years of retire-
ment, he or she probably wants to move
money to more conservative kinds of investments with fixed or guaranteed interest such
as CDs or annuities. However, if a person is
close to retirement and does not have much
saved, that person may want to invest in
higher-return stocks.
“The easiest thing to do is to consistently
invest, even it is not a lot every month. I look
at it as paying yourself first by putting money
into investments and then living off the rest of
what you make by living within your means,”
Haaland says. “If you have an employer who

conservatively or not at all. Just
$1 a day is $30 a month. Most of
us waste $1 a day on something we
don’t need.”
— Ted Smith, Edward D. Jones financial advisor
offers a match for a 401K, you should be
matching the maximum allowed. Whatever
the company is matching is free money.”
Haaland discussed the difference between
a regular 401K and a ROTH 401K. Some
companies offer both.
“The difference is that monies withdrawn
from a ROTH IRA in retirement have a tax
advantage, that being all of the growth is taxfree. A regular 401K plan and a traditional
IRA are all taxable when withdrawn in retirement,” he says.
He recommends going with the ROTH,
especially for the younger generation, as they
have a lot of years for a ROTH to grow and
the growth is tax-free.
Ted Smith, a financial advisor with
Edward D. Jones in Perry, agreed that people
should take advantage of 401K opportunities
through work, citing the same reasons as
Haaland. He also addressed investing practices of younger adults.
“Some younger people invest too conservatively or not at all,” he says. “Just $1 a day
is $30 a month. Most of us waste $1 a day on
something we don’t need.”
It’s all about the power of compounding for young people, and it’s amazing how
quickly that money adds up, Smith says.
He also addressed the need for having a
budget and sticking to it. Smith talked about
a couple he worked with who had one teenage daughter. When he sat down with them
to go over their budget, they realized there
6
Perry Living

was $2,000 a month they couldn’t account
for. They created a budget, stuck with it
and track where all their money was going.
They were then able to capture some of
that money to use toward retirement investments.
As retirement approaches, people need
to look at their balance of investments, Smith
says. He advised, as did Haaland, that people
nearing retirement should choose investments with a lower risk and to be more
diversified.
He also cautioned that people need to
look at how much money they will be drawing each month or year when they retire. If
they take too much money, the retirement
account may be used up before they expected. They need to take a good look at what
they need each month to pay their bills and
live comfortably in retirement and be realistic
about their lifestyles.
Risk assessment
David Finneseth, a Farm Bureau agent, says
he will talk with people about what they want
to do with their money, what they may or
may not want to leave to children or other
family members and more.
He also has people fill out a questionnaire
to see what risk level clients are willing to
take. That information is used to help find clients investments they feel comfortable with,
but will still help them make money.
“I ask them if they want to be saving
toward college for their children, if they want
to leave a ‘legacy’ for anyone specific through
life insurance and what their expectations
are,” he says.
Finneseth noted that choices about
investments, life insurance, even long-term
care insurance, are different for anyone looking to invest or planning on retirement.
For the children
Stacy and Eric Vaughn of Perry, both in their
40s, believe their investments are where they
need to be at this point in their lives.
“We’ve set up college plans for the girls,”
says Eric. They also have a financial planner
who helps them make their decisions on
investments.
In addition to some investments, Stacy
has a 401K and Vaughn has IPERs.
“We also have enough life insurance that
if something would happen to one of us,
there would be enough money to take care
of the girls,” Eric says.
Stacy says she thought it was interesting when she took her first teaching job in
Johnston. There was a session on investing
and retirement for employees.
“I remember someone saying people
should have $1 million by the time they
retire,” she says.
Haaland noted that life insurance is a
good way to leave something to children
because it is tax-free for the person who
receives the money.
More tips
William Bernstein, a renowned
investment advisor and an author
of books on financial theory as well
as books on practical advice for
regular people, was interviewed by
New York Money Magazine.
The following excerpt of a
question and answer article with
Bernstein was taken from that
article which was posted online.
How should I be investing
near and after retirement?
You want to end up with a portfolio that matches your liabilities,
meaning the amount you’ll need
to spend in retirement. The rule
of thumb I came up with, based
on annuity payouts and spending
patterns late in life, is that you
should save 20 to 25 times your
residual living expenses — that is,
the yearly shortfall you have to
make up after Social Security and
any pension.
This portfolio should be in
safe assets: Treasury InflationProtected Securities, annuities,
or even short-term bonds.
Anything above that, you can
invest in risky assets. That’s your
risk portfolio. If you dream about
taking an around-the-world trip,
and the risk portfolio does well,
you can use it for that. If the risk
portfolio doesn’t do well, at least
you’re not pushing a shopping
cart under an overpass.
What if you are nearing
retirement age and you
don’t have that 20 to 25
years saved?
You should be working until
you get that number. If you’re
65 and you’ve only got half of
your living expenses saved, you
can retire and you may skate
through.
You may die early, or you
may have a good market. But
there’s a significant chance you’re
going to be eating Alpo when
you’re 85. That’s the risk you’re
taking. The other choice you
have is to work a few more years
and reduce expenses.” Q

Meet Matt Hardy
Instructor teaches through questioning method
att Hardy started out
studying chemical engineering at the University
of Iowa but soon found out coaching and teaching was what he really
wanted to do. He transferred to
Wartburg College and graduated
with a degree in math education.
“I got bored with it. I didn’t
enjoy the course work,” Hardy
says. “One of the main reasons I
moved to teaching is to coach.”
Hardy teaches algebra I and
trigonometry in high school, and
principals of engineering for high
school students at Des Moines
Area Community College, where
the students receive college credit.
Hardy works hard to help his
students learn the math they need
to succeed. Most of the students in
his algebra I class are freshman.
“Sometimes they don’t realize
how much work it takes,” he says.
Hardy gives the students
examples and encourages them
to come in for one-on-one help.
In fact, he would someday like to
implement what he calls a “flipped
classroom.” With a flipped classroom, the instruction takes place
at home, with teacher-created videos or online videos. Then, when
students are in the classroom, they
can ask questions and get the individual assistance they may need.
Every student has access to
a laptop in his math classes. The
goal is to someday be a paperless school, Hardy explained, adding that paperless classrooms are

Lent is also a time in the
church when you hear many members of the congregation giving
something up for the duration of
the season. This fasting is to commemorate Jesus’ fasting and resisting temptation while in the desert,
as told in the Bible.
Palm Sunday starts the end of
Lent and is the beginning of Holy
Week, which precedes Easter.
Palm Sunday is when members
receive palms, or some other form
of native plant, tied into crosses to
commemorate Jesus’ entrance into
Jerusalem. This is because in the
time of Jesus, palms meant victory
and other good things; it was a
very popular symbol that was used
in many ways. In contrast, Good
Friday of Holy Week is a day of
mourning for the crucifixion of
Christ.
All of Lent is leading up to

Easter Sunday, which concludes
Holy Week practices. Easter is
the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus. Members no longer
have to refrain from temptations
of their sacrifice, but may go to
back to enjoying the things they
missed over the past 40 days. Such
pleasures are often enjoyed over a
special Easter meal.
Such traditions are especially sacred among the Catholics.
That’s why St. Patrick’s Catholic

much more cost effective.
A troubling trend Hardy has
experienced is seeing more of his
algebra I students struggling with
basic math facts, which can lead to
problems as they move into other
math classes.
“A lot of equations look overwhelming. Some students don’t try
particularly hard at their work, and
others do,” he says. “There seems
to be a learned helplessness in
some students.”
Hardy says he teaches through a
questioning method, but that some
students “just want you to tell them
the answer. Every kid is different.”
But he also sees a math program implemented a few years
ago at the elementary level called
everyday math beginning to have
an effect on math learning in the
district.
“The program is helping kids
develop a more well-rounded ability with math, and I am seeing a
difference,” he says. Q

health Q&A
Q: How do I ‘refuel’ after
exercise?
A: Exercise is great for your body, but in order to get the most benefit,
you need to refuel your body in the correct way. It is always important
to make sure you rehydrate after any activity. If you plan to exercise
vigorously, it is a good idea to weigh yourself before and after your activity to help you know how much to eat and drink after exercising. It is
recommended you replenish with 20 - 24 ounces of fluid per pound lost.
It is also important to eat carbohydrates, ideally within 15 minutes of
completing your exercise, and for sure within two hours. This restores
the nutrients that were used by your cells during exercise. You should
eat 0.3 - 0.6 grams of carbohydrates for each pound lost. If you combine
protein with those carbohydrates within 30 minutes of exercise, you
can speed your recovery even more. The optimal ratio is four grams of
carbohydrates to one gram of protein. Adding the protein helps rebuild
muscles, improve hydration and stimulate the immune system.
There are various ways to get the ideal post-exercise nutrition you
need. Several sports drinks have a carbohydrate to protein ratio of 2.5:1.
Chocolate milk has a carb to protein ratio of 3.25:1, which makes it an
excellent post-exercise drink. Another way to replenish lost nutrients
would be eating a good old-fashioned peanut butter sandwich, a 4:1 ratio.
Add water for hydration, and you are on your way to recovery. Q

A: As all of you know who visit the dental aisle
regularly, it has grown significantly over the
years. There are various kinds of toothpastes
that come in different flavors and formulas as
well as different brands. Choosing toothpaste
can be a difficult task for some.
Many dental professionals recommend a
toothpaste that contains fluoride. Research has
proven that fluoride helps in reduction of cavities
and the chance to prevent them if used on a daily
basis. There is also sensitivity toothpastes that
can help with sensitivity caused by temperatures.
You should consult with your dentist before you
start using this long term to make sure there are no other dental concerns that may be present.
There are many whitening toothpastes out there as well, but they
only remove surface stains and won’t give you that bright white smile if
that is what you are looking for. If you are a person who gets a lot of
tartar build-up, there is tartar control toothpaste with an antimicrobial
ingredient to help reduce the tartar build-up between visits.
As far as flavors, pastes or gels, that is entirely up to you and your
preference. If you are overwhelmed with the dental product aisle, consult
with your dentist or hygienist to see what the best option for you is. Q

Steve Tibbles, Susie Moorhead and Corey Eastman with City Hall work behind the
scenes on the second snow storm to hit Perry on Jan. 30.
Doris and Virgil Pantier had Pantier Moving & Storage in Perry.
Moving it for you
Pantier’s company grew over the years
By Gary Martin, Perry Historical Preservation Commision
f you needed something moved,
Virgil Pantier and his moving
company could handle your
needs whether it be in Perry or
cross county.
After coming back from the
war with a Purple Heart, Pantier
needed work. He first worked
at Wheelwright’s gas station for
about a year. Then in January
of 1947, Pantier bought a used
truck and rented a building next
to Whiton Feed. Pantier Cartridge
was now a new business in Perry.
This was the first of three locations. Next he moved north of the
high school on 18th Street where
the Swift Packing plant was. In
1962, he became an Allied Van Line
Company agent known as Pantier
Moving & Storage. He also bought
a moving company in Atlantic and
a refrigerated van for moving meat
for Oscar Mayer.This expansion
brought the need for some parttime help in the summers. All three
of his sons — Jeff, Mike and Bill
— worked for the company. They
also employed Wayne Wenzl, who
worked for them for 35 years.
Pantier was the president and
I
treasurer of the company, and
Doris, his wife, was vice president
and secretary, doing the bookkeeping and running the office.
In the 1970s, they made the Malachi Meri, Mark Campos, Marcus Meri and Keegan Pfau took advantage of a snow

third and final move to the former Priebes building at Second
and Batemen. Pantier was a member and president of Iowa Movers
and Warehouse. Pantier and Doris
were good business people and
good for the town of Perry. Pantier
was also a volunteer fireman. Their
company closed in 1988 when
Allied was bought out by a British
company.
They were married for 48
years, they were both 65, and
it was time to relax and retire.
They spent time in Florida due to

to handle the cold. After their
time in Florida, Pantier and Doris
moved back to Perry. They sold
their building to the Progressive
Foundry. Pantier also bought real

FEBRUARY | 2013
By Morgan Boston
ike Dougan is old enough
to be retired, but instead
he works full time at
Percival Scientific in Perry. And
perhaps even more relevant is
the work he still does customizing
motorcycles in his “second garage”
behind his house in Perry.
The wide-open building houses plenty of room to turn older
motorcycles into tricked-out custom bikes. The latest project he
has finished is a 1994 600 V Honda.
“It is a little bike compared to
a Harley, but it has the same look,”
Dougan says.
He bought the bike in February
2012 and spent the next few
months customizing it. He made
this one into what he calls an oldschool, chopper-style bike, often
called a bobber because the fenders are bobbed.
The first thing Dougan thinks
about when he looks at a particular bike is what he could make it
become.
“A lot of what the bike becomes
when I customize it has to do with
the original bike,” he says. With the
Honda he customized, he liked the
Harley Davidson look.
The bike has a mono-shock
back end, which makes the tire
separate from the rest of the body.
“It makes it look like it doesn’t
have any suspension in the back,
but it does,” he says.
He bobbed the fender, sanded
it down and painted the fenders
and the tank flat black. He also had
the wheels powder-coated, where
a powder-type paint is baked on.
The powder-coating makes the
paint very resistant to scratches
and wear, Dougan says.
He custom-made the handlebars, bending them into the shape
he wanted. He also made a new
seat, lights and much more to
end up with a kind of “bad-boy”
looking bike. The flat-black paint is

accented by red highlights, whitespoke wheels and chrome touches. The bike was sold to a local
business owner before Dougan
even had it finished.
His love of motorcycles goes
back to the first time he was given a
ride on one when he was 10. When
he was 15, he started riding motorcycles and hasn’t stopped since.
A highlight for Dougan is when
he and a partner went into business for a time making custom
motorcycles. They made a motorcycle from scratch and took it to a
show in eastern Iowa. It caught the
attention of a man who worked for
West Coast Cycles, and the bike
was featured in a national television show. Dougan and his partner
were featured in many interviews,
including a documentary.
His partner had to have back
surgery, and they eventually sold
the business, splitting the proceeds.
Still, he has continued with
his favorite hobby. He’s not sure
what his next project will be but
figures another bike will come
along soon that will trip his creative trigger.
“I look at making custom bikes
as an art,” Dougan says. “It is a
creative outlet.” Q

The Otley Cat offers well-made, tasty food
By Morgan Boston
he Otley Cat restaurant
and bar, open for just a few
months in Perry, is quickly
becoming known as a place to get
good-tasting, well-made food.
Known as the Ballyhoo for
years, the business has been under
several ownerships and sat closed
at least a couple of different times.
Now the business is owned by
the same people who own House
of Bricks in the East Village in
downtown Des Moines — J.C. and
Nancy Wilson.
The nice thing about the menu
is that it offers something for
everyone, including vegetarians.
I was surprised by the variety
offered and pleased that it brings a
more metro-type menu to Perry.
People will find items such as
an Italian sausage sandwich made
with Graziano’s sausage and Asian
chicken salad. There’s a variety of
what one employee called “fun”
burgers such as the black bean
burger, a number of Angus burgers including the “Otley” with
gorgonzola, bacon, grilled onions
and onion rings, and the Beach
with avocado, Swiss, lettuce and
chipotle mango barbecue sauce.
Then there is the flat-bread
pizza with made-from-scratch flat-
T
bread and fresh ingredients. I had
a hard time deciding what I wanted
when I went there for supper
recently because there was so
much to choose from.

Lounge: Mon. - Thur.
11 a.m. - 11 p.m.
Fri. - Sat. 11 a.m. - 2 a.m.
I finally decided on the flatbread pizza topped with Graziano’s
sausage. It was absolutely delicious
with the right amount of spice in
the sausage, and a tang and sweetness to the sauce. The crust was
crispy where it should be, and soft
inside, done just right. Prices from
$7 for the four-cheese to $10.50
for the build-your-own.
For people with a taste for
steak, the menu includes three
choices, with the most expensive
being $19.50 for a 12-ounce ribeye.
Don’t expect a fast-food restaurant because pretty much everything is made from scratch. But you
can expect good food and good
service. Q

Treat that special someone with gooey goodies
By Beth McDonald
f you are looking for a treat for
that special someone in your life,
and if they happen to like caramel, here are the brownies for you.
There are many sweet combinations that people enjoy — for
example chocolate and peanut butter — but my personal favorite is
chocolate and caramel. In my mind
there is not a better candy bar than
a Milky Way, and this is my version
with a brownie base. I have been
working on this recipe for some time now. I feel like I finally have it right
and thought I would share.
If you have a favorite base recipe for cookies or brownies, start
thinking about how you can make a new combination between your
favorite flavors. It is fun to try new combinations and see what the results
are. Sometimes you are successful, and sometimes not so much.
With this recipe I really took some of my favorite parts of different
recipes and combined them all into one. This recipe does have several
steps with it, so it is not as quick as some of my recipes. I think the
brownie is super moist, caramel is just the right amount of gooey, and
the chocolate on top is just the right amount. The only thing that might
make it better is if you served it warm with vanilla ice cream. Q

Pooled water may leak through the roof
CALL TODAY!
From Roberts - Smiley Agency
ollowing a winter storm, snow
accumulates just about everywhere, including the roof of
your home. However, the large
sparkling icicles that hang from
gutters this time of year may be
holding back a hidden and potentially destructive problem.
F
“The primary issue is that
attic floors are not fully insulated,” explains Larry Gallagher,
corporate loss control director
at Grinnell Mutual Reinsurance
Company in Grinnell. “Heat from
the living areas below escapes into
the attic and warms the roof from
below. Snow accumulated on the
roof begins to melt and runs down
the roof. When it gets to the edge
of the roof where the temperature
is below freezing, an ice dam forms
and prevents other melting water
from leaving the roof.”
As a result, pooled water may
leak through the roof into the
home, damaging insulation, ceilings and walls if the ice dam is not
removed in time.
Removing ice dams
When an ice dam has formed, it’s
important to remove the pooled
water without climbing onto the
roof. The snow, water and ice
make the roof slippery and dangerous for walking. The key is to open
a channel in the ice that allows
the water to run off the roof.
Homeowners can use various
tools, such as a chisel or batteryoperated screw gun with drill bit
to accomplish this. Another preventive measure is to use a roof
rake to pull snow from the roof.
“Whatever method is used,
extreme caution should be taken

to prevent injury to oneself and to
avoid damaging the roof. A roof
rake used side to side, for example, may damage the shingles,” says
Gallagher. “We also don’t recommend using heat tape to solve the
problem. In addition to being a fire
hazard, heat tape has not proven
effective at preventing ice dams.”
Preventing ice dams
For a long-term solution, homeowners should ensure there is
both adequate insulation and ventilation in the attic.
“Insulation on the floor of
the attic area prevents heat from
escaping the living area of the
home while proper ventilation
keeps the attic cool. Together,
these help prevent heat in the
attic from melting accumulated
snow and causing ice dams,” says
Gallagher. Q

A: Knowing what medicines you take and the manner you take them is
highly important. You should make a point to carry list of your medications with directions in your wallet or in a purse. Your pharmacy or
doctor may not be available when you are traveling or at after hours. It
is important for health professionals that may be treating you, particularly
in an emergency situation, to know your medications. These may determine the type or need for treatment you will receive.
It makes good sense to take an active part in in your health by knowing
your medications, the amount you take of each one, what they are used
for and the side effects that they may have. This will help your health care
provider take better care of you. The FDA offers these tips for older adults:
s+NOWTHECOMMONSIDEEFFECTSOFALLOFYOURMEDICINES#ONTACT

Q: How can I get my children
to eat healthy?
A: Children can be finicky eaters with their food preferences changing
overnight. They care about food tasting good and not always about food
that is good for them. Here are a few ways you can improve your child’s
eating habits:
s3TARTOFFERINGHEALTHYOPTIONSWHENCHILDRENAREYOUNGTOBUILDLIFE

If you are concerned about your child’s nutrition, talk to your health
care provider. He or she will be able to provide information about your
child’s specific nutrition needs and additional information for keeping
your child healthy. Q
