welcome By Shane Goodman, shane@dmcityview.com<br />

Just imagine<br />

Imagine a world with no public parks — no grass in wide open lots, no<br />

kids to be seen on slides or merry-go-rounds, no birds chirping from<br />

100-year-old trees. Now imagine what might be in place of those parks<br />

— more blacktopped parking lots, more sprawling industrial buildings<br />

and even more corn fields.<br />

Yes, those all have important places in today’s society, but we must<br />

all take a stroll through our local parks and breathe in what’s left of the<br />

fresh air to remind ourselves of how important these areas truly are to<br />

our well being.<br />

When was the last time you walked — not drove your vehicle —<br />

through a park? When did you last pack a picnic lunch and grab a blanket<br />

to relax on with friends or family? Just envision leaving your cell phone<br />

at home and spending a half-hour on a park bench soaking in the environment.<br />

It’s time for all of us to stop more often and smell the flowers<br />

— literally — and this month’s cover story may be just the motivation<br />

to help you do that.<br />

We are pleased to share the story of McHose Park and the efforts<br />

of Dr. John Murphy and others to preserve the very best of the Boone<br />

community for the good of generations to come.<br />

Thanks for reading. �<br />

A WALK<br />

in the<br />

PARK<br />

THE GROWTH AND<br />

IMPROVEMENT OF<br />

BOONE’S PUBLIC<br />

PARK SYSTEM<br />

Dr. John Murphy, often better known as “Boone’s Johnny Appleseed,” is on a mission to educate local residents about the generosity of the Burritt McHose family. In 1924,<br />

Burritt and Ella McHose donated more than 200 acres of land on the south side of Boone to be preserved for future generations of local residents. Below right: Dr. Murphy<br />

stands beside the statue of President Teddy Roosevelt, which was a condition of the donation of McHose Park.<br />

By Lori Berglund<br />

He wasn’t a man much for sitting down<br />

and taking it easy.<br />

He didn’t care for those who sit on<br />

the sidelines, never getting involved to make<br />

things better for their fellow man, or for<br />

future generations.<br />

“It is not the critic who counts: not the man<br />

who points out how the strong man stumbles or<br />

where the doer of deeds could have done better.<br />

The credit belongs to the man who is actually<br />

in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and<br />

sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs<br />

and comes up short again and again, because<br />

there is no effort without error or shortcoming,<br />

but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great<br />

devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause;<br />

who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph<br />

of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he<br />

fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that<br />

his place shall never be with those cold and timid<br />

souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.” —<br />

President Theodore Roosevelt<br />

He looked at America and saw a beautiful<br />

land, but a land in jeopardy of losing many of<br />

its beautiful places. And so he did something<br />

about it.<br />

During his presidency, Theodore<br />

Roosevelt snatched up endangered lands to<br />

preserve for future generations at a rate of<br />

about 84,000 acres per day, according to the<br />

National Geographic Society — 230,000,000<br />

acres in all.<br />

Roosevelt left for the future generations<br />

of this nation some 150 national forests, 51<br />

federal bird reservations, four national game<br />

preserves, 18 national monuments, 24 recla-<br />

mation projects and five national<br />

parks: Crater Lake in Washington,<br />

Wind Cave in South Dakota,<br />

Sullys Hill (now a national game<br />

preserve) in North Dakota, Platt<br />

(now Chickasaw Recreation Area)<br />

in Oklahoma, and Mesa Verde in<br />

Colorado.<br />

Oh, and his life’s work so<br />

inspired a man named James<br />

Burritt McHose that McHose followed<br />

Roosevelt’s example and<br />

took matters into his own hands.<br />

In July 1924 — 88 years ago this<br />

month — McHose and his wife,<br />

Ella, donated some 200 acres on<br />

the southwest side of Boone to<br />

be preserved for the enjoyment<br />

of future generations of local residents.<br />

“He was a real visionary,” says<br />

Dr. John Murphy. “I can’t imagine<br />

that he could have dreamed it<br />

would turn out this well.”<br />

The retired local physician is<br />

a bit of a visionary himself. In<br />

their own individual ways, both<br />

McHose and Murphy have followed<br />

in Roosevelt’s footsteps,<br />

working in their own community<br />

to preserve its very best features<br />

for the good of future generations.<br />

After all, not every county<br />

can have a national park, but the<br />

beauty of America has never been<br />

limited to just a few geographic<br />

areas, and every American, at<br />

some point or another, needs a<br />

benefactors — and to inspire<br />

future generations not only to<br />

preserve what has been given to<br />

us but to build on that legacy ourselves.<br />

One of his primary goals was<br />

met in the last few years when a<br />

kiosk was added behind the large<br />

statue of Roosevelt at McHose<br />

Park. Murphy wanted to ensure<br />

that people passing by the impressive<br />

statue could learn why it’s<br />

there.<br />

“McHose was a devotee of<br />

Teddy Roosevelt and to donate<br />

the land, he required the city to<br />

put up a statue to Roosevelt,”<br />

Murphy explains.<br />

McHose died in 1927, not long<br />

after the park’s dedication, but<br />

the statue was not erected until<br />

decades later. Sicilian-born artist<br />

Vincenzo Miserendino was commissioned<br />

to create the statue,<br />

which was then delayed when<br />

bronze was diverted by the war<br />

effort in the early 1940s. The<br />

4,000 pound bronze statue was<br />

finally cast in New York in 1946<br />

and set upon 59,000 pounds of St.<br />

Cloud granite in 1948.<br />

In addition to the image of<br />

Roosevelt rising more than six feet<br />

to the sky, the base of the statue<br />

features a number of intricate<br />

relief images of Roosevelt’s life,<br />

from his days as a Rough Rider to<br />

the man who encouraged others<br />

to “speak softly, and carry a big<br />

stick.”<br />

As beautiful as it is, to<br />

Roosevelt the statue would pale<br />

in comparison to the beauty of<br />

the woods and nature trails at<br />

McHose Park. And as important<br />

as it is to know the history, even<br />

more important will be the actions<br />

of the present generation to build<br />

upon the local legacy of caring for<br />

natural places.<br />

Murphy has been doing his<br />

part for some 29 years as Boone’s<br />

Johnny Appleseed. It was shortly<br />

after the time when Dutch elm<br />

disease swept through the country,<br />

devastating elm populations<br />

throughout North America, that<br />

Murphy began his work.<br />

YOU<br />

“At about that time, there<br />

were no trees left in Boone as<br />

a result of Dutch elm. We had<br />

a little volunteer effort, planted<br />

about 40 or 50 trees the first<br />

year,” Murphy recalls.<br />

Since then, many more volunteers<br />

have joined the effort, planting<br />

some 9,300 trees in the last<br />

three decades.<br />

Planting that many trees has<br />

required thousands of volunteer<br />

hours from hundreds in the community.<br />

Boone High School (BHS)<br />

students have been perennial volunteers,<br />

as have been a number<br />

of local businesses and area residents.<br />

“They participate every year,”<br />

Murphy says of the BHS students.<br />

“Without them, we never would<br />

have made it.”<br />

The Herman Park Pavillion is known for its fine acoustics.<br />

Others have joined in the<br />

effort, as well. Workers from the<br />

Woodward Academy have helped<br />

not only with tree planting but<br />

also provided labor for tennis<br />

court renovations.<br />

“We’ve had a lot of young men<br />

from the Woodward Academy<br />

that come up, and they’ve been<br />

just marvelous,” Murphy says.<br />

While the work is the focus,<br />

Murphy sees a larger goal, especially<br />

when it comes to working<br />

with the school students and<br />

other young people involved.<br />

“What I hope they learn is<br />

about volunteerism and helping<br />

their community,” he says.<br />

To encourage that ethic<br />

throughout the community, the<br />

Boone City Parks Foundation was<br />

created in 1997. Since that time,<br />

the foundation has provided more<br />

than $310,000 to projects within<br />

the parks.<br />

“Our big project this year is<br />

the snack bar at Memorial Park.<br />

We’re going to turn that into a<br />

Shelters at McHose Park are<br />

typically booked solid, and park<br />

officials hope that by providing a<br />

shelter at the north-side Memorial<br />

Park it will give park users another<br />

option and help meet the growing<br />

demand.<br />

“If we have a second shelter<br />

on the north side of town, it will<br />

be very popular,” Murphy notes.<br />

Other projects funded by the<br />

foundation include restoration of<br />

the Memorial Park tennis courts,<br />

the McHose Park disc golf course,<br />

new concrete for the bike trail<br />

and many more park improvements.<br />

Perhaps one of the largest<br />

projects to receive foundation<br />

assistance was the restoration of<br />

the Herman Park Pavilion.<br />

“We’ve spent over $100,000<br />

on the Pavilion in the last seven<br />

or eight years,” Murphy says.<br />

“It was built in 1917, and we<br />

have our band concerts there on<br />

Wednesdays. The band director<br />

says it has the best acoustics of<br />

any outdoor music facility in Iowa<br />

— it’s pretty special.”<br />

By building awareness of the<br />

Foundation, Murphy hopes to<br />

encourage philanthropy and volunteer<br />

support to continue making<br />

the Boone Parks a treasured place<br />

for years to come.<br />

“I think the parks as a whole<br />

are a major asset for the community,”<br />

Murphy says.<br />

And he isn’t done dreaming<br />

yet.<br />

“The dreamers among us are<br />

talking about extending a biking<br />

path around through McHose,<br />

under Highway 30, down along<br />

Honey Creek past the original<br />

Kate Shelley Bridge, and across<br />

the Des Moines River. That’s a<br />

multi-million dollar deal — that’s<br />

beyond my scope,” but every<br />

dream has to begin somewhere<br />

before it becomes a reality.<br />

For his party, Murphy doesn’t<br />

care much for any attention on<br />

himself and hasn’t thought about<br />

his own legacy. He simply wants<br />

to encourage others to do, as<br />

Roosevelt once encouraged, “Do<br />

what you can, with what you have,<br />

where you are.”<br />

As to why he has stayed with<br />

the parks and Johnny Appleseed<br />

project for so many years, Murphy<br />

replies simply: “It’s hard to quit<br />

something once you start.”<br />

Now retired as a family practice<br />

physician, Murphy delivered<br />

into this world somewhere less<br />

than 1,000 human souls — babies<br />

who grew into toddlers splashing<br />

in a wading pool, to teenagers<br />

careening their bikes through the<br />

parks, to young adults bringing<br />

their own children to these beautiful<br />

places in Boone.<br />

For these and all the children<br />

who will sit under a shade tree,<br />

Murphy seeks to help them understand<br />

that other generations have<br />

gifted these places to us, and it’s<br />

up to generations now and in the<br />

future to maintain them.<br />

Sometimes, we forget. We<br />

forget how beautiful this community<br />

is in the heart of the Des<br />

Moines River Valley. But if you<br />

Photo by Lori Berglund<br />

ever need a reminder, just take<br />

yourself out to McHose Park on a<br />

summer morning before the heat<br />

of the day has set in. Take a walk<br />

in the woods and let the songs of<br />

the birds be the only sound to fill<br />

your ears.<br />

Or take a break from fast food<br />

lunches, drive through the park until<br />

you find a shade tree where no one<br />

else is sitting. Put a blanket on the<br />

grass, read a book, and let the worries<br />

of the day wait for awhile.<br />

Or come late in the afternoon,<br />

when the pool is filled with<br />

youngsters cooling off. Listen to<br />

the splashing of the water and the<br />

laughter ringing in the air. Feel<br />

young again.<br />

And when you have experienced<br />

these things, in this beautiful<br />

place, remember how it was<br />

made possible. Hear in your heart<br />

the words of President Theodore<br />

Roosevelt once again, and heed<br />

them well:<br />

“Here is your country. Cherish<br />

these natural wonders, cherish the<br />

natural resources, cherish the history<br />

and romance as a sacred<br />

heritage, for your children and<br />

your children’s children. Do not<br />

let selfish men or greedy interests<br />

skin your country of its beauty, its<br />

riches or its romance.” �

Meet Angela Lange<br />

Boone native has taught in the district for nine years<br />

By Lori Berglund<br />

Ever wonder what teachers<br />

do all summer?<br />

For Angela Lange, Resource<br />

Teacher at Page Elementary<br />

School in Boone, the summer is<br />

filled with busy activities and her<br />

part-time job at the Boone YMCA.<br />

Her work at the Y allows<br />

students to see Lange in a more<br />

casual atmosphere.<br />

“One of the little girls who<br />

goes to Page came up to the front<br />

desk (at the Y) one day and said,<br />

‘You look just like that teacher<br />

from Page,’ ” recalls Lange with<br />

a grin. “I said, ‘I am that teacher<br />

from Page!’ ”<br />

For children, realizing that<br />

teachers are ordinary people just<br />

may put the school experience in<br />

a whole new light.<br />

Lange is a Boone native and<br />

graduated from Boone High<br />

School in 1996 before heading off<br />

to Iowa State University, where<br />

she earned her bachelor’s degree<br />

in early childhood/special education.<br />

She’s taught in the Boone<br />

District for nine years and is<br />

already a veteran of the system.<br />

“I’ve pretty much taught at<br />

every elementary building here<br />

in town,” going back to when the<br />

district had several more elementary<br />

buildings open. “Each year I<br />

packed up boxes and moved to<br />

lots of different grade levels, mostly<br />

all at the kindergarten through<br />

third grade level.”<br />

Lange encourages parents to<br />

use the summer months to make<br />

memories with their children<br />

and build on the skills learned in<br />

school in simple, ordinary ways.<br />

“Just read to your child,” she<br />

Photo by Lori Berglund<br />

Angela Lange is spending part of her<br />

summer break working the Boone Y.<br />

says. “Put them on your lap and<br />

read.”<br />

And talk to them about your<br />

day — about the ordinary things<br />

of life, from the antics of the family<br />

pet to how the garden needs a<br />

good, soaking rain.<br />

“They gain so much just from<br />

the little conversations that you<br />

have with them,” Lange says.<br />

Throughout the summer,<br />

Lange says parents and children<br />

benefit from staying on schedule.<br />

“The most important thing for<br />

young children is to really set a<br />

routine for them,” she says. “Kids<br />

like to have a schedule that is predictable.”<br />

During the school year, Lange<br />

says her work as a Resource<br />

Teacher focuses on individualized<br />

education plans for children who<br />

need help in any number of subject<br />

areas, ranging from reading<br />

and writing, to math and behavior<br />

issues.<br />

For now, she’s enjoying the<br />

break right along with her students,<br />

and looking forward to<br />

another great school year ahead. �<br />

your lap and read.”<br />

what’s in your garage?<br />

Verl and Sharon Stoneburner with their Chevy blue <strong>1950</strong> Ford.<br />

<strong>1950</strong> Ford<br />

The Stoneburners love their cars<br />

By Lori Berglund<br />

For many families, the make of<br />

car they drive is a tradition<br />

passed down with the same<br />

fervent belief as the church they<br />

attend or the political party they<br />

most often favor.<br />

And for other families, well,<br />

each member makes up his or her<br />

own mind.<br />

Verl Stoneburner is a Ford<br />

man through and through, and<br />

he’s taught his wife, Sharon, to<br />

love them as well. But that doesn’t<br />

mean other generations, either<br />

older or younger, always agree<br />

with Ford fervor.<br />

“I’m definitely a Ford man,<br />

because my dad was always a<br />

Chevy man — and I was always<br />

obstinate,” Verl explains.<br />

The couple’s son, Cory, can<br />

be seen sporting around town<br />

with his St. Bernard in a beautiful<br />

1969 Chevelle Super Sport, which<br />

would surely be to his grandfather’s<br />

delight. And even Verl and<br />

Sharon have a late model Buick<br />

in their garage for everyday use,<br />

but their hearts belong to Henry’s<br />

motor company — Ford.<br />

“They’re good cars,” the couple<br />

agree.<br />

And one of the best Fords to<br />

this couple’s liking is their <strong>1950</strong><br />

Ford painted, believe it or not,<br />

Chevy blue.<br />

“It’s a Corvette color,” Sharon<br />

says. “I picked it out because I<br />

really like blue.”<br />

The <strong>1950</strong> Ford is reminiscent<br />

of Verl’s first car, a 1949 Ford<br />

Club Coupe. The couple bought<br />

the <strong>1950</strong> model some 26 years<br />

ago, and restoring it has been a<br />

labor of love.<br />

“We’ve been in and out of<br />

more gulleys, junkyards and swap<br />

meets than you can imagine,” Verl<br />

says, recalling the search for just<br />

the right old parts.<br />

“The only thing that we didn’t<br />

do ourselves is the upholstery,” he<br />

adds.<br />

But while Verl and his father<br />

may have had different tastes in<br />

automobiles, Verl is quick to credit<br />

his dad with teaching him a thing<br />

or two about making engines hum.<br />

“My dad was a mechanic, and I<br />

learned a lot from him,” he says.<br />

Verl still enjoys working on<br />

old cars, due in large part to their<br />

simplicity.<br />

“If you open the hood, there’s<br />

the motor, and you can get to<br />

everything. On the new cars you<br />

have to have specialty tools,” he<br />

notes.<br />

Today, this old Ford gleams<br />

in the summer sun, a tribute to a<br />

family that loves their cars, regardless<br />

of make or model. �<br />

health Q&A<br />

Q: Should I be using an<br />

electric toothbrush?<br />

A: Although the average person can brush well with either a manual or an electric<br />

toothbrush, there are some definite advantages to the powered version.<br />

For starters, scientific studies have shown that<br />

electric toothbrushes do remove more plaque and<br />

bacteria. With a manual toothbrush, the average<br />

person will typically brush their teeth with 100 - 200<br />

strokes. An automatic toothbrush does that in rapid<br />

fashion; you will expose your teeth to thousands<br />

of strokes, which leads to the greater reduction in<br />

plaque. The toothbrush does all the work for you.<br />

Electric toothbrushes are especially beneficial<br />

for anyone with limited manual dexterity, including<br />

the elderly or those with severe arthritis. Another<br />

group of people who really benefit are those who have a history of brushing<br />

too hard and have caused their gums to recede. They can learn to trust the<br />

electric brush to do a great job without thinking they need to scrub hard.<br />

Lastly, they are great for anyone in braces.<br />

The most effective powered toothbrush is the Sonicare brand. However<br />

if they are not in your price range you can still get a good electric toothbrush<br />

for as cheap as $15 - $20. If you don’t already have one, don’t hesitate to take<br />

a closer look next time you see one at the store. �<br />

Q: What is adult day services?<br />

A: Adult day service centers<br />

provide a coordinated program<br />

of professional and compassionate<br />

services for adults in<br />

a communi ty-based group setting.<br />

Centers offer a club-like<br />

setting for older adults who<br />

require some assistance, support<br />

and/or involvement with<br />

others. To stimulate mind and<br />

encourage spirit, staff members<br />

offer options to keep<br />

participants active and engaged<br />

throughout the day.<br />

Most centers provide robust programming, for example, community<br />

speakers, book club, Red Hat group, exercise, discussion groups,<br />

musical entertainment, intergenerational opportunities, cooking, picnics<br />

and community excursions. In addition, services such as beauty/<br />

barber, therapies, bathing and podiatry may be offered. A registered<br />

nurse is a part of the staff for assessments and medication assistance.<br />

Centers also afford caregivers an opportunity to revitalize so they<br />

may continue their role as care provider. Financial assistance may be<br />

available. �<br />

health Q&A<br />

Q: School starts soon; what<br />

can I do to keep my child safe?<br />

A: It is estimated that almost 5,000 emergency visits each year are the<br />

result of injuries related to backpacks. Backpack-related symptoms include<br />

severe back, neck and shoulder pain. Posture problems can also result<br />

from the improper use of backpacks. Backpack injuries can be prevented.<br />

Make sure your child’s backpack weighs no more than 5 to 10 percent<br />

of his or her body weight. For example, a 100-pound child should<br />

have a backpack that weighs no more than 10 pounds.<br />

Tell your child to use both shoulder straps, not just one. A backpack<br />

slung over one shoulder disproportionately shifts all of the weight to one<br />

side and can cause not only neck and muscle spasms, but also low back<br />

pain. Also, backpacks with an extra strap that wraps around the waist will<br />

offer better support.<br />

The shoulder straps should be padded and adjustable, so the backpack<br />

can be fitted to your child’s body. Shoulder straps that are too loose<br />

can cause the backpack to dangle uncomfortably, and cause misalignment<br />

and pain. A backpack with individualized compartments will help you<br />

position the contents most effectively.<br />

If the backpack is still too heavy, talk with your child’s teacher. It<br />

might be possible to leave the heaviest books at school.<br />

For more information, or to have your child’s back and backpack<br />

checked, call Boone Family Chiropractic at (515) 432-9525. �<br />

Information provided by Dr. Zach Weisbrod and Dr. Brian Jestel of Boone<br />

Family Chiropractic, 1320 S. Marshall St., 432-9525.<br />

Q: What should I do if I get<br />

injured during a sporting event?<br />

A: All acute injuries should be treated with the RICE principle:<br />

Rest<br />

Ice<br />

Compression<br />

Elevation<br />

If you are unable to bear weight through your lower extremity or if<br />

you feel excessive heat or swelling to the touch, see a doctor as soon as<br />

possible.<br />

Q: It’s my child’s first year in football. What should I look for if I suspect<br />

a concussion?<br />

A: There are many potential symptoms following a concussion which<br />

include photosensitivity, fatigue/malaise, lack of hunger, nausea, disproportionate<br />

eye dilationand persistent headache.<br />

Always monitor your child when he/she is sleeping following a head<br />

injury for any changes in breathing. If they have any of the above symptoms,<br />

see a doctor immediately, and make sure he/she is released by a<br />

doctor to return to practice.<br />

Q: What are signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion?<br />

A: Confusion, dark colored urine, dizziness/fainting, fatigue, headache,<br />

muscle cramps, nausea, profuse sweating and rapid heartbeat<br />

It’s essential to immediately get out of the heat and rest if you begin<br />

to experience any of the above signs/symptoms. If possible, move to an airconditioned<br />

or shaded area and drink cool, non-carbonated beverages. �<br />

Crossing the<br />

financial planning<br />

finish line<br />

Make the most of what you worked to achieve<br />

By Lora Ahrens Olerich, Farm Bureau Financial Services<br />

While a happy and comfortable<br />

retirement is<br />

the ultimate goal of<br />

most financial plans, sound financial<br />

advice can help you make the most<br />

of what you have worked so hard<br />

to achieve.<br />

If you think of your financial<br />

plan as a pyramid, the foundation<br />

would be protection against life’s<br />

uncertainties using insurance, the<br />

middle layer would be growing<br />

your investment, and the top layer<br />

would be retirement and estate<br />

planning.<br />

Here are a few things to consider<br />

and discuss with a financial<br />

advisor:<br />

� ����� ����������� When<br />

you near or reach retirement age,<br />

the ground rules for investment<br />

may need to change. An all-stock<br />

portfolio may not make sense as<br />

some retirees and near retirees<br />

have learned over the past few<br />

years. Determining the right mix<br />

for you depends on many different<br />

questions. That’s why it’s a good<br />

idea to meet with a financial advisor<br />

who can help you navigate the<br />

process.<br />

� ��������� ��� � ��������� �����<br />

ning tool that can help you save<br />

and then provide you with a variety<br />

of payout options, including<br />

a secure and steady stream of<br />

income you cannot outlive.<br />

� ������ �������� ������� A<br />

properly-prepared estate plan lets<br />

you pass along what you own to<br />

whom you want to receive it, in<br />

the way you want them to receive<br />

it, and when you want them to<br />

receive it. A great place to start is<br />

with a will.<br />

� �������� � ������ ����� ������<br />

you to add up all of your assets —<br />

your home, your cars, your investments,<br />

your life insurance, etc.<br />

Then you can specify who gets<br />

what in your estate. If you have<br />

children, your living trust should<br />

also specify who their guardian will<br />

be if something happens to you<br />

and your spouse.<br />

An estate plan should also<br />

include:<br />

� � ������ ����� also known as<br />

a health care proxy, enables you<br />

to make medical decisions that<br />

you would not want as a burden<br />

to your family.<br />

� ������� ����� �� ������<br />

ney allows someone to act on<br />

your behalf when you cannot be<br />

present.<br />

� ������� means transferring<br />

money to someone while you’re<br />

still living and is the simplest way<br />

to reduce your estate tax liability.<br />

� ���� ��������� does something<br />

that no other product can do<br />

— it can create an instant estate.<br />

Life insurance is also a great vehicle<br />

for paying estate taxes. �<br />

Harlequin<br />

Craftsman detailing adds its charm<br />

to the Harlequin, a compact single-level<br />

home with a surprisingly<br />

spacious gathering space. Craftsman features<br />

include the characteristic gridded<br />

window uppers and the front-facing gables<br />

with decorative corbels at their apexes.<br />

The plan’s 42-foot width allows the<br />

home to fit neatly onto a city lot, but the<br />

footprint is larger than it appears, stretching<br />

quite a ways back from the street.<br />

Family living areas fill the entire left<br />

side, while bedrooms and bathrooms are<br />

on the right. Entering, you step into a<br />

living room that’s windowed on the front<br />

and sides. This space flows into the dining<br />

room, which is open to the kitchen on<br />

the right. Wide sliding glass doors at the<br />

rear access a partially covered patio that<br />

could easily be screened, if desired.<br />

A flush eating bar rims the peninsular<br />

counter that separates the dining room<br />

and kitchen. Counters, cabinetry and<br />

built-in appliances wrap around the other<br />

three sides of the kitchen. Standing at<br />

the kitchen sink, you can converse with<br />

folks in the dining room, keep your eye<br />

on the patio, and enjoy watching seasonal<br />

changes in the landscape beyond.<br />

Natural light from a skylight illuminates<br />

a front bathroom that is equally<br />

convenient to the family living area and<br />

the secondary bedrooms. It’s right next<br />

to the Harlequin’s pass-through utility<br />

room, which links the house and garage.<br />

Storage closets line the hallway that runs<br />

from the bedrooms to the living room,<br />

and passes the utility room along the way.<br />

The owners’ suite has its own private<br />

bathroom. Amenities include a dual vanity,<br />

an oversized shower, and a walk-in<br />

closet. The toilet and shower can be<br />

closed off for steam containment and<br />

privacy.<br />

more information or to search our home<br />

30-759, including floor plans, elevations,<br />

Lemon cake<br />

Versatile dessert is easy to customize<br />

By Beth McDonald<br />

Cakes are one of my favorite<br />

things to bake and share<br />

with friends and family. I<br />

enjoy making the cake unique for<br />

the person, and I try to make a<br />

new cake flavor or frosting flavor<br />

based on whom it is for.<br />

For my latest celebration, I<br />

made a lemon cake with lemon<br />

curd and a cream cheese frosting.<br />

As with all of the baking I do, this<br />

one is something you can easily<br />

customize. You can swap out the lemon curd for raspberries, blackberries<br />

or blueberries, or you can fill your layers with just frosting. I like a<br />

lemon cake because it is light, goes well with fruit fillings and complements<br />

the frosting.<br />

Something that I always do with my cakes is to torte them, which<br />

means to cut each cake at least in half so that you can add filling. One<br />

key to adding filling to the cake is using frosting to create an outline on<br />

the cake, creating a stop to keep your filling inside. The other key to<br />

a great cake is to make sure you crumb coat your cake. A crumb coat<br />

keeps the crumbs from the surface of your final frosting. To create the<br />

crumb coat, take some of your frosting, thin it out with milk and then<br />

coat the cake. Once the crumb coat is on, let it set. Once it is set, you<br />

are ready for your final coat of frosting. Enjoy! �<br />

Lemon cake<br />

Ingredients<br />

2 1/2 cups sifted cake flour<br />

2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder<br />

1/2 teaspoon salt<br />

1/2 cup butter<br />

1 tablespoon lemon zest<br />

1 3/4 cups white sugar<br />

6 egg yolks<br />

1 1/8 cups milk<br />

Directions<br />

1. Prepare your cake pans; I use the<br />

baking pan spray but you can use<br />

parchment paper, too.<br />

2. Take the flour, baking powder,<br />

and salt and sift them together.<br />

3. In the mixer, cream the butter<br />

and sugar. Add the lemon zest, egg<br />

yolks and mix.<br />

4. Add the dry ingredients and<br />

finally the milk.<br />

5. Bake at 350 for 25 - 30 minutes.<br />

Frosting<br />

8 oz. cream cheese<br />

1/2 cup of butter<br />

4 cups of powdered sugar<br />

Blend butter and cream cheese and<br />

then add the powdered sugar.<br />

dining Submit ideas to darren@dmcityview.com<br />

On almost any given<br />

Saturday morning —<br />

make that early Saturday<br />

morning, very early — my favorite<br />

dining companion and I can be<br />

found at a local restaurant enjoying<br />

a full, farm-style breakfast.<br />

We are not weekend sleeperiners.<br />

We are early-risers, one of<br />

us by nature and the other (namely<br />

me) an early-riser by marriage only.<br />

On many of those weekend<br />

mornings we can be found at the<br />

Hy-Vee Deli, catching up on the<br />

news and letting someone else do<br />

the cooking. My dining companion<br />

enjoys the selection of large and<br />

tasty omelets, plus sausage and<br />

toast, while I start the day with a<br />

fluffy pancake and an order of crisp<br />

bacon. I enjoy the luxury of having<br />

someone else prepare the meal,<br />

while my dining companion loves<br />

getting a big breakfast of his choice.<br />

Our money-saving secret to<br />

breakfast (not that it isn’t quite<br />

affordable already) is that while he<br />

places the order, I hit the grocery<br />

aisles and pick up a quart of milk.<br />

Between the two of us, we down<br />

almost the entire quart, for about<br />

half the price of a glass of milk for<br />

each of us.<br />

While breakfast is our favorite<br />

meal at the deli, I also enjoy it as<br />

a quick place to get home-style<br />

A plate of lasagna at the Hy-Vee Deli is true comfort food.<br />

Comfort dining<br />

Hy-Vee Deli is a modern take on oldtime café<br />

By Lori Berglund<br />

cooking when there isn’t time to<br />

cook at home. On a recent evening,<br />

I couldn’t resist the aroma of<br />

freshly-made lasagna wafting from<br />

the deli. On special that evening<br />

was a plate of lasagna, a lettuce<br />

salad and breadsticks for $5. It was<br />

too good of a deal to pass up, and<br />

I ordered two plates to take home<br />

for the evening.<br />

������ ����<br />

1111 Eighth St.<br />

432-6065<br />

Hours: Open daily,<br />

5 a.m. - 8 p.m.<br />

I also enjoy the ability to order<br />

ala Carte from the deli and have<br />

been on a recent binge of ordering<br />

just mashed potatoes and chicken<br />

gravy for a quick lunch on a workday.<br />

Sometimes, there’s just nothing<br />

that hits the spot like simple<br />

old potatoes and gravy, it’s real<br />

food, comfort food. OK, sometimes<br />

I order a piece of chicken to<br />

go along with it, but potatoes and<br />

gravy like this can make a meal —<br />

a hearty meal — all by themselves.<br />

In many ways, this little deli is<br />

a 21st century answer to the oldtime<br />

café, a place where you can<br />

sit and chat while nourishing both<br />

the body and soul. �<br />

Seasons change<br />

Churches take faith to international level<br />

By Annie Petersen<br />

Summer is a busy time, especially<br />

when it transitions to<br />

the beginning of another<br />

school year.<br />

Boone First United<br />

Methodist Church, 703 Arden<br />

St., is getting ready for August, and<br />

the Educational Merit Foundation<br />

(EMF) is looking for families to host<br />

European Christian students for<br />

the upcoming school year. Students<br />

from Germany, France and Norway<br />

will be coming to Boone for the<br />

2012 - 13 school year and will need<br />

host families during their stay.<br />

“I do believe that American<br />

students benefit from meeting foreign<br />

students,” says Marie-Claude<br />

Dijoud, EMF Program Director.<br />

“(The students) speak English, are<br />

well-screened and eager to experience<br />

life in America.”<br />

For more information, contact<br />

Dijoud at 1-800-467-8363, or<br />

visit the program website at www.<br />

emfusa.org.<br />

In addition to welcoming<br />

exchange students, Boone First<br />

UMC welcomed Associate Pastor<br />

Sarah Duffel after bidding farewell<br />

to former Associate Pastor<br />

Andrea Kraushaar, who moved to<br />

the First UMC in Fort Dodge.<br />

“I am reminded at times like<br />

this, at times of parting and arrival,<br />

that we are, as Christ’s disciples,<br />

travelers upon this planet,” says<br />

Boone First UMC Pastor Phil<br />

Webb. “We are saying a warm<br />

welcome to Sarah Duffel.”<br />

Boone First United<br />

Methodist Church encourages<br />

local families to<br />

consider being a host for<br />

foreign exchange students<br />

this year.<br />

the Baltic country. Church planting<br />

is the establishment of a new<br />

church by an existing church, and<br />

Grace Community Church has<br />

set up some of these planters in<br />

Latvia. Naomi Norris and Nelly<br />

Kazmerchuk will visit Latvia for 10<br />

days to travel the country interviewing,<br />

supporters understand the system<br />

of church planting, as well as<br />

encouraging potential supporters<br />

to get involved.<br />

Members of the congregation<br />

are encouraged to come out on<br />

July 29 to eat tacos and help<br />

looking back Submit ideas to darren@dmcityview.com<br />

Boone County’s<br />

three courthouses<br />

Construction on first building began in 1856<br />

�� ������� �������� ����� ������ ���������� �������<br />

Boone County was formed<br />

in February of 1847 and<br />

was named for Nathan<br />

Boone, who was the captain of H<br />

Company of the Dragoons which<br />

marched through Boone County<br />

in 1835.<br />

For the next two-and-a-half<br />

years, Boone County remained<br />

for judicial, voting and revenue<br />

purposes part of Polk County.<br />

By 1849, residents wished to<br />

vote, do business and pay taxes<br />

in the county. To make this happen,<br />

Iowa law required the county<br />

sheriff to order the election of<br />

county officers. There was no<br />

Boone County sheriff, so the judge<br />

of the Fifth Judicial District in Des<br />

Moines appointed a county sheriff,<br />

who ordered the election to be<br />

held Aug. 6, 1849.<br />

Court sessions were at first<br />

held in Boonesboro houses. By<br />

July of 1851, with the county seat<br />

officially located at Boonesboro<br />

(west Boone), court proceedings<br />

were moved to a log schoolhouse,<br />

located about a half mile south<br />

of the present skating pond in<br />

McHose Park.<br />

On July 26, 1851, Boone<br />

County Commissioners ordered<br />

Wesley C. Hull “to furnish a suitable<br />

room in... Boonesboro to<br />

hold court at the October term...”<br />

Hull built a double log cabin, across<br />

from the public square. Then in<br />

1853, the court moved to a new<br />

log schoolhouse, located on the<br />

site of the former Garfield School.<br />

The first public Boone County<br />

Courthouse was a two-story<br />

frame building constructed in 1856<br />

- 1857 on the corner of Third and<br />

Fremont Streets. Then, in 1865,<br />

Boonesboro and Montana (Boone)<br />

became locked in a struggle for<br />

political and economic control and<br />

The second Boone County Courthouse,<br />

which was dedicated on May 1, 1918.<br />

the location of a railroad station.<br />

Boonesboro residents, merchants<br />

and officials agitated for<br />

a new, larger courthouse to be<br />

built on the town square in order<br />

to preserve Boonesboro’s preeminence.<br />

Boonesboro won the<br />

courthouse location battle, but<br />

Montana became the major economic<br />

and political force after the<br />

railroad station was built there.<br />

A new brick courthouse building<br />

was completed in 1868, and in<br />

1887 the two towns merged into<br />

a single municipality.<br />

By 1915, the county government<br />

had outgrown the building.<br />

The cornerstone for a new courthouse<br />

was laid on Oct. 1, 1916.<br />

The old brick building was given<br />

to the Boone Biblical Ministries,<br />

and in June of 1916 the building<br />

was moved across the street. It<br />

functioned as the courthouse until<br />

the new building was ready in 1918.<br />

Employees continued to work in<br />

the building during the move and<br />

“not a drop of ink was spilled.” The<br />

current building took nearly two<br />

years to build. It was dedicated<br />

on May 1, 1918. The building was<br />

placed on the National Register of<br />

Historic places in 1981. �

Raising awareness<br />

Promoting public health, environmental issues<br />

�� ����� �� ������ ���� ������ ��� ���� �� ��������<br />

The environment. Public<br />

health. These two issues<br />

have come to dominate<br />

societal discussions.<br />

Solid waste agencies have<br />

demonstrated that they can<br />

be pro-active players in raising<br />

environmental and public health<br />

awareness. However, more frequently<br />

than not, these efforts are<br />

conducted on a stand-alone basis<br />

and tend to have just a solid waste<br />

management focus. In reality, solid<br />

waste management is a key component<br />

in the overall issues of<br />

protecting public health and environmental<br />

responsibility.<br />

The Boone County (Iowa)<br />

Landfill and its Keep Boone County<br />

Beautiful program have developed<br />

an ongoing partnership with<br />

County Extension, County Soil<br />

and Water Conservation, Boone<br />

County Conservation, County<br />

Health and Sanitation and other<br />

local not-for-profits and businesses.<br />

The Boone County<br />

Environmental Network (BCEN) is<br />

an informal conglomeration of the<br />

above mentioned entities. Over<br />

the past several years these entities<br />

have worked together to promote<br />

joint events and messages that are<br />

more holistic in nature than traditional<br />

programs developed and<br />

offered by solid waste management<br />

agencies on their own. These<br />

programs address solid waste management,<br />

water quality, watershed<br />

protection, global warming, public<br />

health, habitat creation and wildlife<br />

conservation.<br />

Together these entities have<br />

worked cooperatively to provide<br />

the following programs: An out-<br />

door classroom program operated<br />

two times each year; The Dragoon<br />

River Romp, an annual river cleanup;<br />

Ongoing youth and adult education<br />

programs; a Master Conservationist<br />

program; 5) and a Home Owners<br />

Maintenance Education program.<br />

For each program, one or two of<br />

the entities typically takes the lead.<br />

The other organizations then contribute<br />

staff and resources to carry<br />

out the duties associated with the<br />

program.<br />

By working together in these<br />

non-traditional partnerships, each<br />

entity has been able to better fulfill<br />

its respective mission. Of utmost<br />

importance is that the programs<br />

promote a comprehensive environmental<br />

and/or public health message<br />

rather than a more traditional<br />

“our part of the puzzle” strategy.<br />

The BCEN’s success lies in the<br />

basis of best utilizing the participating<br />

organizations, their respective<br />

networks and their specific expertise.<br />

This collaboration makes<br />

best use of limited resources and<br />

expands the coverage of each<br />

agency.<br />

By working collaboratively<br />

with a variety of other organizations,<br />

the participating agencies in<br />

the Boone County Environmental<br />

Network have been able to exceed<br />

their respective goals. They have<br />

also been able to achieve outreach<br />

efforts far beyond what they could<br />

have expected individually.<br />

This was done through informal<br />

partnerships with minimal<br />

bureaucracy. No written agreements<br />

have been needed or are<br />

anticipated other than when legally<br />

required. �<br />

Summer safety<br />

Take precautions against health issues<br />

By Melanie Ervin, R.N.<br />

Summer is here, and it can<br />

be a great time to enjoy the<br />

outdoors. However, without<br />

the appropriate clothing, protection<br />

and education, the summertime<br />

can also bring multiple health<br />

issues.<br />

Dehydration, heat exhaustion<br />

and sunburn are some of the<br />

common ailments during the summer<br />

time.<br />

Dehydration can lead to painful<br />

urinary tract infections which<br />

in turn can increase your risk of<br />

painful kidney stones and cause<br />

a visit to the physician or even a<br />

hospitalization. Drink at least eight<br />

glasses of water a day which will<br />

help flush infection-causing bacteria<br />

out of your bladder and urinary<br />

tract. Stay hydrated.<br />

Signs of heat exhaustion<br />

include fatigue, weakness, nausea,<br />

heavy sweating or no sweating,<br />

rapid pulse, confusion or fainting.<br />

To avoid heat exhaustion follow<br />

simple steps:<br />

� ���� ������� ���������� ���<br />

the morning or late afternoon to<br />

avoid the heat of the day.<br />

� ���� ��� ������ ����� ����<br />

as a covered porch or under a tree<br />

to enjoy an activity.<br />

� ���� ������������� �������<br />

in natural fabrics like cotton, and<br />

dress in light colors that will reflect<br />

the sun and heat.<br />

� ��� ��� ������ ����� ���� �<br />

wide-brimmed hat or an umbrella<br />

to protect from overexposure to<br />

the sun.<br />

� ���� ��� ������ �������<br />

indoors as well. If possible use an<br />

air conditioner. Lower the shades,<br />

to keep light and heat out.<br />

� ����� ����� �������� �� ����<br />

inside a car. Temperatures inside a<br />

car can rise very quickly.<br />

Summer is also the time for<br />

family summer vacations. If driving,<br />

plan your trip with an emphasis<br />

on safety. Ensure that your car<br />

tires are well inflated. Inspect all<br />

five tires, including the spare tire.<br />

Make sure you have enough gas<br />

to last the trip, or till the next<br />

gas station. Filling gas in the car<br />

should be done during the early<br />

morning or late evening hours.<br />

Always wear your seatbelt and<br />

stay focused on the road. Avoid<br />

using your cell phone while driving.<br />

The American Auto Association<br />

expects 7.9 million stranded<br />

motorists this summer.<br />

If you do have a family member<br />

who is unable to travel yet requires<br />

assistance in the home, a home<br />

health provider can help meet those<br />

needs. From help with bathing, toileting,<br />

grooming, food preparation,<br />

24-hour companion and overnight<br />

cares, to skilled nursing for help<br />

with medications, wound care and<br />

disease management, home health<br />

providers can help your family<br />

members stay in the safety and<br />

comfort of their homes. �<br />

Dehydration, heat exhaustion and<br />

sunburn are some of the common ailments<br />

during the summer time.<br />
