A ‘million
dollar’ festival
aturday mornings were always a treat for this young boy. Mom had
plenty of tasks for me to complete in the afternoons, but mornings
were my time. Rather than sleep in, I woke up early to watch my
favorite cartoons.
As much as I loved Inch High Private Eye,
Hong Kong Phooey and the Grape Ape,
the show I most eagerly waited for each
week didn’t start until noon, and it wasn’t
a cartoon at all. It was “All Star Wrestling.”
Most of the neighborhood kids would join
together to watch the latest edition with
such stars as Bruiser Bob Sweetan, Bulldog
Bob Brown, Rufus R. Railroad Jones and
Col. Buck Robley. Amidst all these pile drivers, suplexes and flying drop kicks, there
was a dynamic newcomer with an incredible
sleeper hold. His name was Ted Dibiase. He
was young, in shape and had a great head of hair.
As I got older I lost interest in professional wrestling, but others clearly
didn’t. Wrestling found a much larger national and world-wide audience in
the 1980s with the expansion of cable TV and aggressive promoters. That’s
when Ted Dibiase became a household name as The Million Dollar Man.
Well that’s enough about professional wrestling, but you should
know that Dibiase and others will be performing at Governors Days
this year on Friday night. Whether you are a professional wrestling fan
or not, this will surely be an entertaining evening and something new for
the Grimes festival.
But before you think that Governors Days is all about wrestling, rest
assured that your favorite events from past festivals will be present again.
Our thanks go out to co-chairs Vickie Lilly and Brent Smith, who have
worked to create another fantastic series of events from June 7-9. Look
for a bean bag tournament, the Hawkeye Pedal Tractor Pull, bingo, a kids’
parade, the Isiserettes Drill Team and Drum Corps, parades, 5K run, a
carnival, crafts, food vendors, live music, a pancake breakfast, a car show,
an ice cream social, fireworks and more.
That’s enough entertainment to satisfy anyone, even a million dollar
man.
We hope to see you at Governors Days, and thanks for reading. Q

COMMUNITY EVENT PROMISES
FUN FOR EVERYONE
By Ashley Rullestad
ark your calendars for June
7-9 and enjoy all Grimes
has to offer at this year’s
Governors Days celebration: A funtastic event. Promising something
for the whole family, the weekend is
packed full of activities, food, rides,
tournaments and of course — fun.
M
Co-chairs Vickie Lilly and Brent
Smith are excited to bring people
from the community together and
to show off the best Grimes has to
offer to visitors.
“It’s a good community event,
but I think with the wrestling and
the bands, it will have a lot of great
entertainment, too,” Lilly says. “We
have a lot of people who don’t
live here come out for the 5K and
the bean bag tournament and the
Hawkeye Pedal Tractor Pull, so it’s
a nice way for them to experience
Grimes.”
Smith has lived in Grimes for 27
years, and he remembers when the
event was a simple gathering held in
the First Presbyterian Church parking lot before it was even paved.
“It’s so nice to see how it’s
evolved and changed and gotten
bigger,” he says. “There’s not one
thing that really stands out — there’s
something for everyone. It’s very
family-oriented.”
The biggest event in town promises fun for everyone from the oldest
to the youngest with everything from
bingo to a 5K run to a special Friday
The Governors Day parade is one of the most popular features for residents of all ages.

night of pro wrestling featuring
“The Million Dollar Man” Ted
Dibiase.
Thursday night kicks off the
festivities with an event that’s back
for its second year at Governors
Days — the kiddie parade.
It was a lot of fun last
year, according to Chamber
of Commerce Director Brian
Buethe. Held on Main Street, it’s
a great way to showcase the
improvements of the Governors
District and get more Grimes
residents and visitors downtown,
he says.
The parade starts at 6:30 p.m.
on the south side of the Grimes
Community Complex. Best
entries will be determined by a
panel of judges, but all participants
are winners. Little ones are asked
to dress up in their costumes
and “strut their stuff” down Main
Street.
Costume ideas include stoMarching bands will be in full force (and dress) during the Governors Day parade. rybook and cartoon characters,
people from American history, or
dressing up like an animal — with
your pet. All dogs and cats must
be leashed. Other animals must be
appropriately caged or restrained
for their safety and yours.
The Isiserettes Drill Team and
Drum Corps, a hugely popular
act, will also be making a special
appearance as well.
After the parade, head on
over for carnival amusements
from 6 - 10 p.m. Ride all the rides
for $20. Movie night, sponsored
by the Grimes Public Library, will
also begin at 8:30 p.m.
On Friday, craft and food vendors will open at 3 p.m. Start
your evening off right with bingo
at the shelter, and then visit the
carnival from 6 - 10 p.m. This
year Friday night entertainment
also features live pro wrestling
with Ted Dibiase, “The Million
Dollar Man,” sure to entertain
and impress.
“Depending on what you’re
into, it’s a big deal,” says Buethe.

Organizer Mitzi Chizek is excited to have the

Chizek brought the event back to the festival, and
in recent years, nearly 200 runners have participated.
Chizek says the run will begin at 7 a.m. this
year to give people plenty of time to finish, participate in the awards ceremony and get back for the
parade. All of the funds raised during the event go
back to the city. Local businesses have stepped up

sure to stick around until 3 p.m.
for the awards show to see if
your favorite wins.
Then it’s time for the grand
parade at 10 a.m. This year’s
route takes the parade through
the Governors District and is
about 15 blocks long. If you are
interested in being part of the
parade, be sure to register your
business or organization. The cost
is $10 - $25, and chamber members, non-profit organizations,
event sponsors and car show
entries are free. Registration
takes place at the fire station at
200 S. James St. between 8 and
9:30 a.m. This year’s theme is
“Hats Off to Community.”
I scream, you scream, we
all scream for ice cream! After
watching the parade, head on
over to City State Bank and cool
off with the annual ice cream
social at 11:30 a.m.
If your belly isn’t too full of
ice cream, head on over to the
food vendors and check out all
the good eats they have to offer.
The carnival will be in full swing,
and craft vendors will also be set
up and selling their creations. You
can also stop by the fire station
for its open house from 11:30
a.m. until 3 p.m.
An event that is back for its
fourth year at Governors Days is
the popular bean bag tournament.
Organizers Carolyn and Bill Ware
attended one in South Dakota
and were hooked. They ended
up in third place and knew it was
something they had to take back
to their hometown. Last year
more than 60 teams participated.
The double elimination tournament has a time limit of 25 minutes for each game. Cash prizes
will be awarded for first through
fourth places. The couple built
eight games, so 16 teams will get
a chance to play at a time. The
tournament starts at noon, and
it’s $20 per team.
After the tournament, be sure
to check out all the entertainment
that the afternoon brings, including the Des Moines Community
Band at noon, Brekke Dance
Studio performance at 1:45 p.m.,
Grimes Superstars at 2:45 p.m.,
and the Hawkeye Pedal Tractor
Pull at 5 p.m.
Bingo will also take place in
the shelter on Saturday starting at
5 p.m. Enjoy the beverages at the
beer and entertainment garden
and stick around for a can’t-miss
show from Iowa favorite Jason
Brown at 9:30 p.m. with opener
Bright Giant at 8:30 p.m.
The fireworks finale will round
out the celebration at 10 p.m. All
events, with the exception of the
parade, the 5K run and the pancake breakfast, will take place at

Can you treat itchy, red
and watery eyes?
Absolutely! Itchy and watery eyes usually are
a result of ocular allergy. This can be a seasonal
issue or caused by allergy to pets and dust. Contact lens wear will aggravate the situation and
make it worse. The brand of contact lenses,
solutions and wearing modalities are also things
to consider changing for people suffering from
ocular allergies.
Often times treating with an oral antihistamine
will decrease symptoms but not make them go
away. The addition of prescription allergy drops before symptoms get bad is ideal. Sometimes the
addition of an anti-inflammatory drop is needed
as well.
Any red eye situation (especially if you wear
contact lenses) should be evaluated by your eye
doctor. We have microscopes that other professionals do not which allow us to take a much
better look at the cornea and front of the eye.
A mistreated or misdiagnosed eye problem left
for a couple days can go from what could have
been a quick easy fix to a long uncomfortable healing process with potential permanent vision
problems.
Long answer short: Yes, we can treat that and
we will bill your HEALTH insurance, not your
vision insurance.

A: The best way to avoid dehydration is to start hydrating days before
the athletic event. For optimal hydration before a game, athletes should
drink 15 to 20 fluid ounces of water two to three hours prior, and
another eight to 10 fluid ounces 10 to 15 minutes before the event. To
stay hydrated during a game, an athlete should consume eight to 10 fluid
ounces of water every 10 to 15 minutes. If exercising longer than 90
minutes, additional nutrition sources should be consumed (about eight
to 10 fluid ounces of a sports drink every 15 to 30 minutes).
One of the best ways to increase hydration is to carry a water bottle
around at all times. Studies have shown that carrying a water bottle will
result in more water consumption. All research supports the idea that
thirst is not an optimal way to determine when and how much an athlete
should drink. By the time an athlete is experiencing thirst, he or she is
already somewhat dehydrated and, in most cases, will not be able to
drink enough to fully replace the fluids that have been lost in sweat. So,
by carrying a water bottle, hydration will be increased and the instance
of dehydration can be diminished.
In addition, an easy way to determine an athlete’s level of hydration
is by the color and volume of urine output. A light color and a large
amount of urine output usually means an athlete is properly hydrated.
However, if urine is a dark color or a low amount of output is experienced, it can often mean an athlete is dehydrated. Q

health Q&A
Q: What should I look for in a Q: How can I protect my
sunscreen label?
family against whooping cough?
A: With summer practically on our doorstep,
it is important to review the new FDA labeling
standards for sunscreen that should start to
appear on store shelves throughout the summer of 2012. These new requirements should
make sunscreen labels easier to understand and
make it easier to choose the sunscreen with the
best protection for you.
There are two kinds of sun rays, UVB which
Lena Mullins, Pharm. D.
causes sunburn and UVA. Exposure to either of
these rays can cause early skin aging and skin
cancer. Sunscreen that blocks both UVB and UVA rays are labeled as
broad spectrum. Sunscreens without this label only protect you from
UVB rays. SPF stands for sun protectant factor, which is the level of protection from UVB rays. The FDA recommends to use a sunscreen that is
SPF 15 or higher. However, an SPF above 50 does not provide additional
protection from UVB rays. You should no longer see sunscreens that
claim they are water- or sweat-proof since sunscreen starts to lose its
protective effects once it gets wet. You should start to see water- or
sweat- resistant labels with a specific timeframe (40 or 80 minutes) that
the sunscreen retains its protective effects, after which you should then
reapply. Make sure to read the directions carefully and notice that all
sunscreens should be reapplied after two hours of being in the sun. Q

A: Whooping cough is highly contagious respiratory infection. The key symptom of whooping
cough that helps distinguish this illness from
other respiratory infections is the hacking, dry
cough. This cough is marked by a high pitched
inspiration, which produces a “whooping”
sound. Other symptoms include runny nose,
dry cough and low grade fever. If whooping
cough goes undetected for more than one to
two weeks, it develops into a severe respirato- Carin A. Bejarno, A.R.N.P.
ry illness causing uncontrolled coughing, fevers
and difficulty breathing. Those at high risk of whooping cough include
infants and those who have not had proper immunizations.
Whooping cough is detected through a nasal swab or blood tests done
at your local doctor’s office. Treatment of whooping cough is antibiotic
therapy. Rest, increasing fluid intake and humidified air also help control
symptoms associated with whooping cough. The best way to prevent
whooping cough is obtaining the pertussis vaccine. This vaccine is often
given in combination with the tetanus and diphtheria vaccine. Typical schedule for Dtap (diphtheria, pertussis, and tetanus) vaccine is at the following
ages: 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 15 months, 4 - 6 years and 11 - 12
years. Adults are encouraged to get the Dtap vaccine every 10 years. Q

you are considered legally liable.
Allstate encourages homeowners
to understand its policy in regards
to yard sales before you tag the
first piece of merchandise.
When residents hold yard sales,
they need to understand that they
can be held liable should a shopper get injured on their property.
When we have yard sales we invite
our entire neighborhood onto
our property, and this increases
the chance for injury. It is fiscally
important to review your home
insurance coverage with your local
agent to ensure your insurance
coverage is comprehensive.
In addition to checking your
insurance coverage, Allstate
encourages you to plan your sale
with safety in mind:
s #HECKWITHYOURLOCALAGENT
to find out if your house insurance
covers yard sales.
s 3ET UP CLEAR AND MARKED
walking areas between sale items.
s3TORE SHARP AND DANGEROUS
items in a safe place not out in the
open.
s 2EPAIR ALL YARD HOLES LOOSE
railings and cracked concrete.
s +EEP YOUR PETS INSIDE THE
house.
s )F AN INJURY OCCURS ON YOUR
property be sure to get immediate
medical attention.

s)FYOUHOLDREGULARYARDSALES
ask your local agent if your policy requires you to add business
insurance.
Most homeowner’s insurance
and rental policies will cover you for
bodily injury and property damage
that you or your family members
cause to others, including court
costs and judgments against you.
However, the coverage amount is
typically limited, often to $100,000.
Additional liability protection is
available, and everyone should consider getting enough insurance to
protect their assets and finances.
One other item to consider
for those who have held frequent
yard sales is to you purchase a
separate policy for business liability, or an in-home business policy.
As a general guideline, if you have a
couple of yard sales a year, you’re
probably covered by your homeowner’s policy. If your sale is a
charity event, you’re also probably
covered. But if your yard or garage
sale business is growing out of a
hobby or interest, such as jewelry
making, crafts, quilting, collecting
or liquidating estates, it’s probably
time to review your insurance
needs. To determine the correct
coverage for you, please contact
Tom Mueller at 276-2541, your
local Allstate agent. Q

chiropractic Q&A
Q: Is good posture important?
A: Many of us go through each day typing on a computer, bending or
lifting items, gardening, taking care of our children and playing sports. If
not done properly, these activities can cause pain or injury which may
become chronic if left untreated.
Much of our pain associated with our daily activities originates in our
spine. The central nervous system originates in the brain and channels
down through the spinal column, extending to every part of the body. A
misalignment of the vertebrae of the spine may result in nerve interference,
resulting in headaches, low back and neck pain, among other problems.
Listen to your body. Use preventative measures at work and at
home. Here are a few suggestions to help reduce the risk of spinal injury.
s 7HILE AT THE OFFICE REMEMBER TO TAKE FREQUENT STRETCH BREAKS
while working on your computer. The more hours per day you use your
computer, the greater the risk of discomfort or injury.
s7HILEWORKINGONYOURCOMPUTERSITWITHYOURKNEESATAPPROXI

not your waist, when lifting anything heavier than 10 percent of your
body weight, such as a child or a heavy box.
If you have any questions regarding yours or your family’s posture,
feel free to contact Dr. Williamson at 986-9189. Q
Information provided by Williamson Chiropractic, 206 S. Main St., 986-9189.
Q: Could my low back pain be
related to infertility?
A: At first, it may appear to be coincidental. You
are having trouble becoming pregnant, and you
also have a problem with low back pain. Are
they related? Can low back pain actually cause
infertility? The answer to the first question may
be “yes,” while the answer to the second question is more along the lines of, “The cause of
your infertility may also be the cause your lower
back pain.”
Many women have problems conceiving
because of a condition known as endometriosis.
In fact, endometriosis is the cause for 30 to
40 percent of female infertility. This condition
occurs when uterine tissue, known as endometrium, attaches itself to tissue and organs outside the uterus, including other reproductive organs,
the bladder and the gastrointestinal tract. While the primary symptom of
endometriosis is painful menstruation, back pain may result as well.
Obviously, it is imperative for you to see a health care professional
when either one or both of these conditions are present. If your diagnosis is endometriosis, chiropractic care will often reduce much of the
pain and discomfort associated with it. In addition, several chiropractic
case studies have documented case studies in which infertile women have
become pregnant after starting chiropractic care. Q

“I’m from a teaching family,”
the South Prairie Elementary third
grade teacher says. “My grandma
was a teacher, my mother and
sister are teachers, and my aunt
is a principal. I always helped my
mother with her classroom activities, such as coloring, when I was
growing up, so I grew up wanting
to be a teacher, too.”
Kellner, a Humboldt native,
graduated from the South O’Brien
School District. She attended
Wartburg College where she
earned her degree in education
with a reading endorsement. She is
currently working on an early childhood endorsement online from
Morningside College in Sioux City.
Her first teaching job was as in
the Dows School District, where
she taught preschool, then second
grade title reading.
“Then I ran an after-school
program in Dows, where my job
was to tutor and help students
with their homework for the first
hour, then we had fun playing
games and such,” Kellner says.
She compares her current students to “little sponges.”
“They soak everything up, and
they love to learn,” she says. “This
class is especially a fun group of
kids; they keep me laughing.”
Spencer Parrish, Barbara Kellner and
Brandon Bailiff work with flash cards.
Kellner’s favorite subject is
reading.
“I especially like working in
small groups,” she says. “We’ve
built the program so that we can
work with each child at his or her
own level. The most exciting part
is when all of a sudden they ‘get
it.’ I think I get more excited than
they do.”
Another subject she enjoys
teaching is writing.
“The students first come in
with random knowledge of letters,” she says. “It’s fun to watch
their progress, sounding out
words, forming words. It’s sometimes difficult working with the different levels of skill and a challenge
to find ways to reach all levels.”
Kellner says she doesn’t enjoy
as much the planning and preparation time of the day.
“And now that it’s springtime,
the kids are getting antsy,” she
says, “This is one of the more challenging times of the year.”
When Kellner is not in the
classroom, she enjoys spending
time with family at their cabin at
Okoboji. Q

CITY OF
COMMUNICATIONS PART 356
By Kelley Brown, City Administrator
I don’t really know if this is the 356th time I have discussed communications but it
sure seems like it! Lately the focus is on the social media. I have been trying to make a
concerted effort to be more active on Facebook. One day I just opened it up and asked
anyone to submit questions. Of course Facebook isn’t vey conducive to long answers, but
maybe that’s ok. Most of us just have time for the short and sweet answers and then we
are on our way. So, since these were the questions on the minds of some of you, I thought I
would just do a simple cut and paste and be on my way….. Seriously, please let me know
what you would like to know more about and I will do my best to get you an answer. “LIKE”
us on Facebook and get our posts on everyday items around town. Our goal is to get 2000
LIKES by the end of 2012. We want to keep you informed! And as always, thanks again for
letting my serve you!
Q: I’d like to know more about Governors Days coming up.
A: Well the easy way is to direct you to their web-page. Everything you want to know
is there! It’s an awesome event put on by a wonderful group of volunteers with assistance
from the Grimes Chamber of Commerce! http://www.governorsdays.com/
Q: Are there any craft fairs coming up in Grimes?
A: I don’t know any more than what is coming for Governor’s Days! See link above
Q: Is there a limit to how much we can bring for shredding in May.
A: that’s a scary question! HA! He said they keep it to residential users so probably no
more than 10 banker’s boxes full. Here is what is allowed or not allowed: Okay – paperclips,
staples, rubber bands, spiral bindings and single file folders. Not Okay - 3-ring binders,
expandable file holders, day planner covers, boxes and cardboard,
Q: Tried to use the lights at the tennis courts last night. The timer was ticking, but no
lights...can somebody check on that? My son tried to use the lights at the tennis courts a
few weeks ago and said the same thing.
A: Parts have been ordered for the lights. Evidently a contact was blown during the last
storm a few weeks ago.
Q: Are there any rules against parking on sidewalks in Grimes? Walking with a stroller is
difficult when homeowners park over the sidewalks!
A: Is illegal to park across sidewalks and the vehicles will be ticketed. That being said,
finding those violators isn’t a high priority for the deputies so if you would email me
the addresses of the offenders, I would be happy to forward them on to the deputies.
[email protected]
Q: How would we go about building a dog park in Grimes? Is anyone interested?
A: that idea has been discussed before but with all of the projects on the waiting list, it
hasn’t been a priority. I am sure if there was an initiative and a group who had some energy
and funds to “plant the seed” this could become a reality much sooner.
Q: What are the plans for the space across the street south of Breadeaux? Will that be a
park? Just curious.
18
Grimes Living
MAY | 2012
A: that area is prime commercial ground with a lot of traffic and pedestrian visibility.
When the right proposal comes to the City, the plans are to sell the land for development.
Q: What happened to the city of Grimes sign that was at the corner of 141 and 1st St? Are
we going to get a new fancy sign?
A: the sign has been down for a long time and was damaged during one of the storms.
There have been a lot of discussions about putting up a new sign but location has been an
issue because technically GRIMES starts as soon as you get off of the interstate and access
Highway 141! The IDOT regulates that area so it’s hard to get access. Of course, it is also very
expensive so funding is also an issue. It is in the plans though, just don’t know when.
Q: I heard that a new FedEx building was going to be built soon, do you have any
information on that?
A: Yes, you are correct. There will be about a 170,000 SF building constructed in the
Grimes Industrial Business Park which is located west of SE James Street and just north of
SE 37th. Same location as United Contractors and Cramer & Assoc. For easy reference, the
existing building on SE 19th is about 44,000 SF! This is a large expansion and we are so
happy they are staying in Grimes!
Q: I have been noticing a lot of cars not stopping at the 4-way at Gateway & SE 3rd. Is it possible
to add a flashing light or an increase in deputy presence? I have seen quite a few people do this
and over the last few years and it has always been construction vehicles or vehicles heading to
the hotel which makes me think the drivers (somehow) aren’t noticing the signs.
A: we do increase the presence intermittently. I am also surprised just the times when I
am there how many people don’t stop. I think they take it for granted......... unfortunately.
Q: Were there a few break-ins on April 25th?
A: I heard from two people who DID have incidents last night on the NORTHERN side of
town. I talked with Polk County Sheriff’s office to follow-up and they confirmed that one was
called in at 6:00 a.m. today. I personally talked with another gentleman who had his money
stolen from his (unlocked) truck. Polk County is going to increase the number of patrol cars;
especially late at night. As well, they are asking us to be reminded of the things we can do
to better protect ourselves. Always lock car doors, garage doors and our homes, don’t leave
items visible in your vehicles that would be tempting, .... etc. I apologize that this seems to
cycle through our town every few years. I also want to thank all of you who work together
to keep each other informed through the email system. I was notified by at least 5 people,
shortly after sending an email out on list serve, about the incident that happened last night
as the emails were being forwarded from neighbor to neighbor so they would know to make
sure and lock their doors and protect themselves. You all are great!
Q: Have there been any talk about getting our own police department in the years to come?
A: The Public Health and Safety Committee has recently evaluated it, as has been done
about every five years. The short answer is that contracting with the Polk County Sheriff’s
office is much more cost effective. The Polk County Sheriff’s office offers many resources
that wouldn’t be affordable to us at the present time. For example, they can just send an
extra car or two our way at any time.

Changes can affect bonds’ value

onds provide an element of
stability that can offset some
of the volatility of the stock
market. However, they are also
vulnerable to economic changes
that can affect their value as well.
The biggest economic threat to
bonds is the risk of rising interest rates.
One of the top questions
we are getting asked today is
what effect will rising interest
rates have on my bonds portfolio? Bond prices move inversely
to interest rates, so if you own
a bond and interest rates go up,
the value (price) of your bond on
the open market will generally go
down. Of course, if you hold the
bond to maturity, you will likely
get the par value back, assuming
issue stability. The inverse relationship is easy to see with this
simple illustration.
Ten bonds are issued for
$10,000 ($1,000 par value per
bond) for five years with a 3 percent coupon or interest rate, paid
every six months. Then interest
rates rise by 1 to 4 percent. If
you want to sell this bond, who
would buy it when it is paying
1 percent below market rates
(3 vs. 4 percent)? You have to
sweeten the deal, so the buyer
gets a market rate for the bond.
You can’t change the interest
rate on the bond. That’s fixed
at 3 percent. You can, however
change the price you will take for
the bond. The annual payment of
$300 ($10,000 x 3 percent) must
equal a 4 percent payment. Doing
the math, you discover that the
face value of the bond must be
discounted to $7,500 so that
the $300 fixed payment equals
a 4 percent yield on the buyer’s
investment ($7,500 x 4 percent =
$300).
So if interest rates go up, do
all bonds lose the same value?
No, changes in interest rates don’t
affect all bonds equally. Generally
speaking, the longer the maturity,
the more it will be affected by a
change in interest rates. So if you
believe that interest rates are going
to go up, you would want to own
or buy shorter maturities to help
reduce your risk of rising rates.
Bond markets are extremely
active, with interest rates constantly changing due to a number
of factors including supply and
demand of credit, Federal Reserve
policy, economic conditions, fiscal
policy, issuer risks and above all
others, inflation expectations. If
you are thinking about buying
bonds, or have recently bought
some, you should be aware of the
effects of the risks have on your
bonds. Let us help analyze your
current bond portfolio so you
know how these variables could
impact you and your investments.
If you have questions about the
affects of interest rates on your
bonds or would like to see some
of the available bonds, please
come see me at City State Bank
or call me at (515)986-2265.

32 YEARS
EXPERIENCE
We also restore classic cars!
Bobbie and Marty Muir with their 2002 Ford Ranger.
Hauling adventure
Muirs’ Ford Ranger is all about having fun
By Jared Curtis
wning a second vehicle
can be a financial burden,
but for some people it’s
an advantage.
Maybe you drive one vehicle
during the warmer months that
you couldn’t drive during the colder months, or maybe one is for
fun and the other for family trips.
The Muirs — Marty and Bobbie
— take full advantage of their second vehicle, a 2002 Ford Ranger,
because whenever they head out
on the open road in that truck, fun
will be had.
“We use it for everything from
hauling the fishing boat to pulling a
pop-up camper,” Bobbie says. “It
might not look like much, but it
gets the job done.”
The truck wasn’t always their
second vehicle though.
“I bought it new as my everyday driver,” Marty says. “I drove
it for a long time and put a lot of
wear and tear on it. After I met
Bobbie and we started a family,
I knew I needed something a bit
more practical. So I got an SUV a
couple years back.”
There were thoughts of selling
it, but the couple decided against it.
“It was paid off when I bought
the new car, so we decided to
O
keep it,” Marty says. “It’s been a
really good truck, and we knew we
would need it to pull our toys.”
The Muirs spend as much time
outdoors as possible, whether it’s
riding bikes, fishing, boating, camping or relaxing by a fire.
“Once the weather warms up,
we’re out every weekend,” Marty
says. “Sometimes we’ll take the
Alumacraft out for some fishing,
or we’ll pull the camper. We also
have some friends with a pontoon
and when they’re not using it, we’ll
take it out some time.”
Marty is glad he went with the
tow package so many years ago.
“I considered not even getting
it at the time, but I’m glad I did,”
he says. “I wouldn’t have kept the
truck as long as I have if I wasn’t
able to pull stuff with it.”
Although they enjoy the popup camper they currently have,
the Muirs are always on the lookout for a new home away from
home.
“We would love to get a teardrop trailer,” Bobbie says. “We’ve
looked at a few original ones, but
they were in rough shape. We’ve
talked about owning one since we
got married because they are such
a cool piece of Americana.” Q

Thursday with a closing program
open to parents and the community
on Thursday from 8 - 8:30 p.m.
All elementary-aged students

and adults to walk along with it as
it makes its way down the streets.
Register for VBS or volunteer

Advance
directives
Document protects your health care wishes
By Ross Barnett, attorney, Abendroth and Russell Law Firm
very person should have an
advance directive in place
which expresses your wishes
for your medical care and nominates a person to make those
decisions for you.
Competent adults have the
right to refuse or accept medical
treatment after being informed
of the procedures and risks.
However, there is a concern over
how medical care decisions will
be made when people are unable
to make decisions for themselves.
An advance directive states your
health care choices in writing while
you are still able to articulate your
decision.
If you have not executed an
advance directive and are unable
to make decisions, others will
make health care decisions for
you, in consultation with your
physician. Difficult and emotional
decisions may fall to your spouse,
your children or your parents. If
your family disagrees on a course
of action, problems can arise.
An advance directive both
expresses your health care choices
in writing and nominates someone
to carry them out. Without a written advance directive, you have no
control over who makes the decisions or what choices they make.
Two advance directives are
crucial. A durable health care
power of attorney is a document
through which you name another
person to make health care decisions for you if you are unable to
make them. The person, known as
your “attorney-in-fact,” is required
to make decisions according to
directions you provide. If your
wishes are not known, your agent

will make decisions in your best
interest based on the discussions
you have had with your agent. The
document is “durable” because it
is still effective even if you become
incapacitated or incompetent.
A living will is a document that
expresses in writing your directions for your medical care if
you are unable to express your
wishes yourself. It can direct your
physician to withhold or withdraw
certain life-sustaining procedures
if you are in a terminal condition.
However, it can be much more
comprehensive than that and can
include what you want to happen
in various situations.
These two documents work
together. The health care power of
attorney nominates somebody else
to make medical decisions for you.
The living will gives your attorneyin-fact directions on which decisions to make and when.
Advance directives are like a
second set of keys to your car.
You give them to someone you
trust in case you can’t get where
you need to go. Q

Oatmeal cookies
Experiment results in tasty new treats
By Beth McDonald
week or so ago I was having the normal “How was
your day?” conversation
with my daughter when she said
“Oh, by the way, I need to take
treats tomorrow.”
I thought to myself “What do
we have that I can make for her?”
I am sure you have been in this
same situation. You can just go buy
something, or you can take advantage of the challenge this presents
for you and see what you can come up with, which is what I did.
Once we arrived at home I looked to see if I could make cupcakes
since they are easy, but I didn’t have enough powdered sugar for frosting. So I try again… how about monster cookies? Nope, I don’t have
any M&M’s or raisins. The monster cookie idea got me thinking, and we
ended up with Oatmeal White Chocolate Chip Cookies.
This is a challenge I really like, a short amount of time. and you have
to use what you have in your home and come up with something great.
It is like my own version of Food Network’s “Chopped.” In my kitchen
that evening I did have butter, oatmeal, peanut butter, brown sugar,
vanilla, flour and white chocolate chips, so that is what we used. This
experiment was a success, and my daughter was thrilled with something
new to share with her friends. Q

GOVERNORS DAYS!
June 7–9, 2012
Grimes Waterworks Park in the Governors District
Grimes Chamber, 986-5770
Governors Days
It’s not just for governors
By Clint Dudley, president, Grimes Chamber and
Economic Development
s most of you are aware
by now, the Funtastic
Days event was renamed
“Governors Days” last year.
If you didn’t realize this, but
wondered where this so-called
“Governors Days” gets off having
the same event at the same time
and place as the old Funtastic
Days, you might want to flip
through a few of last year’s Grimes
Living magazines first.
There are many reasons for
the name change. For starters,
Grimes is named after James
Wilson Grimes, Governor of Iowa
from 1854 - 1858. If you want to
sound smarter than your friends,
toss them that one the next
time you get together. Second,
the event is actually held in the
Governors District of Grimes. The
Governors District Alliance has
created a movement to revitalize the downtown area, starting
with the buildings on Main Street.
The goal is to provide an area for
local businesses and restaurants,
without losing the small-town feel
that is the reason we’re in Grimes
in the first place. Changing the
name creates awareness to the
area. Third, we were hoping the
Governor would want to show up.
That being said, Governors
Days is a great opportunity to
bring the community together for
parades, music, games and fireworks. It doesn’t hurt that the rest
of the Des Moines area also gets

to see how cool we are. That’s
right, we’re having fun, and we’re

secret to pulling off one of the best
summer events in the metro area:
We do it as a community. Anyone
can be involved behind the scenes
at the parade, helping out at the
entertainment garden or making
it look like it never happened. It’s
like anything else that the people
of Grimes do; we work hard at it,
get the job done and make it look
easy. If you would like to be the
reason that Governors Days is so
awesome, contact the Chamber
and we’ll make sure that you’re
helping out where you will make
the most difference. Who knows,
you might find yourself giving a
certain Iowa governor directions
to the bags tournament. Q
