S ummer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind. Those are the words that James Seals and Dash Crofts wrote
and sang in 1971 with their Billboard Top 10 hit song. Here in early May, a summer breeze sounds wonderful. Blowing
through the jasmine in my mind? I don’t have a clue what that means. It was the early 1970s. Enough said. Just mention the word summer, and positive images of green grass, hearty barbecues and lazy days at the pool are conjured up. We typically forget about the sweltering heat and thick humidity until they rear their ugly heads. But who wants to wreck a good mental image of summer now? Instead, let’s focus on all the good times that summer has to offer, and there are more than we could publish in the pages of this magazine. With that in mind, we
provide a few local ideas for you to consider as you plan your summer months around vacations, ball games, reunions and the like. Inside you will find information on band concerts, the farmers market and fun at the swimming pool, all right here locally. The snow is gone (hopefully), the rainy season is nearly over, and the warm, summer breezes are here. Better hold on to the jasmine.
Give us 5!If you’ll give us five minutes, we’ll give you an even better magazine. That’s a big promise, but if you will answer a handful of questions, it will help us do a better job creating exactly the magazine you want. The cir-culation and readership of all our magazines is already audited as a whole by the Circulation Verification Council, but this questionnaire helps us better understand the readership of each individual publication. Your responses are confidential, and you will remain anonymous. We simply want to know how we can better serve our readers and advertisers.

N orman Rockwell couldn’t have painted a prettier picture of small town America than Boone in the summertime.
Look around — the scenes are everywhere: Couples and families strolling in for an evening band concert; children splashing in the water at the pool as young moms sun themselves nearby; teenagers hauling in fresh produce by the bushel basket-full at a weekly market; and just plain old
summer fun under the Midwest skies. This is Boone in the summertime, and there is Always Something Fun to Do! Oftentimes, it’s the little things — the day-to-day activities that surround us — that make the memories that really last a lifetime. Kids never forget jumping in a pool on a hot afternoon, then ending the evening swatting the flies as the picnic basket opens and the hotdogs go on the grill. In
Boone, McHose Park and Municipal Pool have it all for families. Olivia Thiel spent her summers growing up at the pool and can’t imagine a better way to have spent her childhood years. She loved it so much that she eventually became a lifeguard at the Boone Municipal Pool so she could spend even more time there. Getting paid is merely a side-benefit for a person who loves her work.
Olivia Thiel enjoys a free moment from her lifeguarding duties at the pool.

Summer
SPLASH!
“I really love all the little kids here because they are so funny, such good entertainment. They always put you in a good mood,” she says. Thiel, who just completed her first year at the University of Northern Iowa, is glad to be back in Boone for the summer and is happy to be a part of making the pool a safe place for kids just learning to swim. Indy Fuentes, 8 years old, says he couldn’t wait for the pool to open for the summer, even on a day when he had to dodge a few raindrops. His mother, Sara, watched from the pool deck, taking in the sun as it came out, and simply enjoying a great family pastime in Boone. After a swim in the pool, wander out to McHose Park for an evening picnic to wrap up an All-American summer day. For some faster-moving fun, it’s hard to beat the Boone Speedway where drivers tear up the track and families cheer on their favorite drivers every Saturday night all summer long. Races fans from throughout Iowa look for-ward to the I.M.C.A. Super Nationals held each year at the Boone Speedway. This year’s event is set for Monday, Sept. 2, through Saturday, Sept. 7, with special events each day. The Super Nationals offer a week of racing that is hard to match and draws thousands to the community each year. But while the Super Nationals may be the premier event, there’s lots more family fun chances all sum-mer long. Generations of families have enjoyed some memorable nights under the lights, and today’s families carry on that tradition at the track. For those who have never been to a race — and there are still a few poor souls out there — the fact that racing is a family sport is often one of the things that surprises first-time visitors.
Kids of all ages have fun watching the cars, and even watching the crowd. In addition to spe-cial events such as Little League Night and Kids’ Scavenger Hunts, the Speedway welcomes kids to celebrate their birthdays at the track. Kids get their own “Birthday Funnel Cake” and a chance to have their picture taken with a favorite driver, as well as other treats and special features. Coming up soon at the track will be the 7th Annual “Eve Of Destruction” on Thursday, July 4, complete with the Speedway’s “Redneck Slip ‘n Slide.” The evening caps off on the 4th with fireworks sponsored by the city of Boone. The 4th comes but once a year, but for a healthy dose of patriotism anytime, there may be no better place to visit than the Mamie Doud Eisenhower Birthplace. Ann Gustafson has been volunteering at the birthplace turned museum for some 15 years and enjoys telling visitors about the nation’s only first lady from Iowa and her legendary husband, President Dwight Eisenhower. “I enjoy meeting the people who come through. We have people from all over who come to see the museum,” Gustafson says. Leon and Mary Lou Wirt came from Joliet, Ill., to take a ride on the Boone and Scenic Valley Railroad, and were then extra-delighted to learn that Boone was birthplace to a first lady. The couple have traveled much of the nation to visit presidential sites. “I’m just interested in presidential trivia and presidential history,” says Mary Lou. “I just think they’re special people, and I’ve always been inter-ested in their lives.” Over the years they have visited the birthplace and/or library of numerous presidents, includ-ing Abraham Lincoln, Herbert Hoover, Franklin
Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan. They took special meaning in visiting Mrs. Eisenhower’s birthplace on the 69th anniversary of D-Day earlier this summer. She was, after all, first lady for eight years, but she was also a military wife in transit from post to post and lived most of her married life in “government housing.” In the home’s lower level, visitors will find a wealth of memorabilia from the World War II era, including newspaper clippings, certificates, an Eisenhower-style jacket and even a can of Spam. Gowns worn by the first lady recall the glam-orous style of the 1950s and are accompanied by descriptions of the official functions for which Mrs. Eisenhower wore them, such as greeting the President of Mexico. There are even connections to other presi-dential families, as a piece of costume jewelry that matches one of the gowns was donated by Julie Nixon Eisenhower, daughter of President Richard Nixon and daughter-in-law of President and Mrs. Eisenhower. Aside from national history, the restored home and its well-apportioned furnishings recall the simple lifestyle of the early 20th century and make a fun and informative trip down memory lane. For anyone in Boone who has not yet toured the home, it’s a great way to spend a little time on a summer afternoon. Make it a goal to take the family there before the 70th anniversary of D-Day. There is a small admission charge; the museum in the 700 block of Carroll Street is open most afternoons in the summer. One of the city’s best summertime tradi-tions has to be music in the park with the Boone Municipal Band playing every Wednesday evening at the Herman Park Pavilion through mid-July.
Municipal Band concerts are a great way to spend a summer evening in Boone.

“We come every week because I really enjoy the music; it’s from adults who have kept their hobby going,” says Tamara Peterson. “I enjoy watching the people’s expres-sions as much as when the notes are played and the voices are sung.” Bob and Norma Pink come often to the concerts and say they enjoy the music, as well as spending time with friends and neighbors gathered at the park. “The music is always tremen-dous,” Norma adds. One also has to wonder if some folks don’t come for the pie? Area churchwomen take turns baking and bringing a variety of pies. On one recent June night, there were 32 home-made pies to choose from, ranging from rhubarb and strawber-ries to apples and cherry. And, if you walk to the concert, you don’t even need to worry about the calo-ries, so dollop on a big dip of ice cream. Coming up on Saturday, July 13, the Iowa Municipal Band Festival will return to the Herman Park Pavilion
with eight bands coming from Iowa and Minnesota to play through the afternoon and evening. Now, with all this to see and do in Boone this summer, one just might need to fuel up on some healthy fare. For that, look no further than the
Boone Farmers Market at 528 Story St., from 3 to 6 p.m. each Thursday through the fall months. Emily Rinehart welcomes visi-tors to her family’s stand, offering a wealth of homegrown, fresh-picked produce each week. The season
starts with asparagus and keeps on going with sweet corn, tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, radishes, green beans, broccoli and just about any-thing else green that grows out of the rich Iowa soil. “I just love meeting new people and talking to the different vendors,” Rinehart says, For Amy Joanning, the market is a fun place to bring her son, and even get a little shopping done on the side. “We try to come every week,” she says. “We always get some good food, and we always like the jam.” The market is just one of many great places to spend a little fun time in Boone this summer. And frankly, there’s almost too much going on for just one issue. Look for more information on the Boone and Scenic Valley Railroad and the James H. Andrew Museum when we feature Pufferbilly Days in an upcoming issue of Boone Living magazine. And, if you have an event you would like to tell us about, con-tact Darren Tromblay, editor, at [email protected].
Leon and Mary Lou Wirt came all the way from Joliet, Ill., to see something that a lot of Boone folks have never taken time to tour — the Mamie Eisenhower house. And
they loved every minute of it.

health Q&A
Q: How can I reduce my health care expenses?A: For decades it has been hypothesized that regular chiropractic and preven-tive care can help save you from other medical expenses. That theory had gone untested until recently. The Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics published an article in May 2007 that analyzed the health care utilization and cost of a large number of patients using integrative medicine over a seven-year time frame. The research found that patients who utilized a chiropractor as their pri-mary health care provider had an average of 60 percent fewer hospital admis-sions/days, 62 percent less physician services/outpatient care, and 85 percent less pharmaceutical cost compared to those who did not utilize chiropractic care during the same time frame. In 2010, the reported health care cost in the U.S. averaged $7,146 per person. According to Kaiser Permanente the costs were split at 31 percent hospital care, 21 percent physician services, and 10 percent pharmaceutical cost, with the rest going to other services. Those three categories totaled $4,430.52 per person. After applying the cost savings associated with utilizing chiropractic care to each of the respective categories, the total cost for those services is only $1,563.54. That’s a difference of $2,866.98 per person per year. The cost of paying out of pocket for monthly maintenance care in our office is just over $400 per year. Sound like a good investment to you? Give us a call to see if chiropractic care can benefit your health or the health of your family.

D id you ever wonder what those newspaper articles and television news sto-
ries are talking about when they talk about sustainability? According to the Environmental Protection Agency, sustainability is based on a simple principle: Everything that we need for our survival and well-being depends, either directly or indi-rectly, on our natural environ-ment. Sustainability creates and maintains the conditions under which humans and nature can exist in productive harmony, that per-mit fulfilling the social, economic and other requirements of present and future generations. Sustainability is important to making sure that we have and will continue to have, the water, materials, and resources to protect human health and our environment. Merriam Webster defines sus-tainability as the capacity to endure. In ecology the word describes how biological systems remain diverse and productive over time. For humans, sustainability is the poten-tial for long-term maintenance of well being, which has ecological, economic, political and cultural dimensions. Sustainability requires the reconciliation of environmen-tal, social equity and economic demands —also referred to as the “three pillars” of sustainability or (the three Es). Are the needs of the pres-ent compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs? What are the costs of
sustainability? A little more work? Probably. Putting more thought into what you buy and what you throw away? Most certainly. The goal of the Dragoon River Romp event is to develop and implement a successful river cleanup program with the ability to attract other entities, recruit volunteers and provide environ-mental and historical education to participants. The yearly event rein-forces individuals’ commitment to protect the environment, raises awareness of proper waste dispos-al and watershed protection and provides educational opportunities for participants and the public. To keep the Dragoon River Romp or any Keep Boone County Beautiful event sustainable (the capacity to endure) we rely on volunteers to take on these many tasks. Because we value the time these volunteers put in, we strive to keep this event free to those volunteers. Many river cleanup events charge the volunteers for the use of canoes and transporta-tion. Keep Boone County Beautiful is fortunate to have many busi-nesses and individuals who realize the importance of our mission and will help us financially or with goods needed for the event. Litter prevention is a difficult challenge faced by all of us. If you would like to help the Dragoon River Romp endure, please con-tact me at [email protected] or call 515-433-0591. The 2013 Dragoon River Romp will be held Sept. 21. Join us

A little something for every-one is what we found when my favorite dining compan-
ion and I finally met up with family for a night out at the newly-opened Sports Story in downtown Boone.
And we had definitely been waiting for a night like this. After a previous fire in this location, we had eagerly awaited the return of a dining establishment at this venue. When word went out that this former grocery store building was to become a bar and grill, we couldn’t quite imagine it. Now, with a spacious and welcoming interior, it seems like a perfect fit and a much-needed establishment in the downtown core. But let’s get to the good part — the food. It took awhile to pore over the menu, so fortunately we had some cool drinks to keep us satisfied as we contemplated our choices. Finally, I settled on the Story Club Sandwich. It was a warm evening, and I was ready for something light, but filling. The club sandwich is perfect for that, starting off with toasted ciabatta bread, filled with roasted turkey and ham, and then piled high with cheese, lettuce, onion, tomato and bacon, plus a side of mayo, of course. My dining companion opted for one of all-time favorites: a
mushroom Swiss burger. The fresh, grilled hamburger came piled high with sautéed mushrooms and Swiss cheese, looking somewhat akin to Grandma’s Sunday gravy on a bun. He was completely satisfied.
The appetizers at the Sports Story can practically be a meal in themselves. Don’t miss the hot wings or the monster nachos. And, of course, the onion rings and Sante Fe rolls are not to be missed. Next time, we’ll check out more of the appetizers and follow them up with one of the light and healthy wraps. As filled as we were, we did manage to wander over to the games and our littlest dining com-panion had a great time shooting hoops and going after some “big game” hunting — with a little help from the expert in our group. The Sports Story is a welcome addition to downtown Boone, where plentiful dining choices always make it fun to visit.
Forty years and thousands of people with intellectual and mental health disabilities have become part of Genesis Development’s history of assisting with “new beginnings.” To celebrate this 40th anniversary and show their appreciation to all those who have supported the mission of Genesis, they will be hosting special events at these Genesis locations:

Jamie Wiebers with a pair of Harley Davidsons he built by hand.
Jamie Wiebers builds Harleys by hand
By Lori Berglund
Unique style
T o most guys, a Harley Davidson is just about perfect straight from the
showroom floor. But for Jamie Wiebers, anything “straight from the showroom floor” is only the beginning. “I think I like building them more than I like riding them,” says Wiebers. “I just like the mechanics of working on it — fixing it up with all the trinkets and shiny stuff.” Wiebers has worked on more cars and cycles over the years than he can count, but he has two very special Harleys that he built him-self, piece by piece. The project began back in about 1998, but he didn’t start really working on the cycles until about four or five years ago. The second bike started out to be only a donor cycle for the first bike — a classic, Softail Harley — but once Wiebers started, he just couldn’t stop. “When I got the first one done I got bored again, so I decided to put the other one together,” he explains. Wiebers used the motor from the donor bike in the first Harley and then had to purchase another motor to use in the second. While they’re definitely Harleys, they
have Wiebers’ own style built in. “The frame is after market, and it’s got different angles than a factory Harley,” he explains. Wiebers collected parts for the bikes by shopping online and scrounging old parts that had seen better days. “A lot of them are recycled parts. They were banged up and scratched, and we ended up with them at the body shop,” he notes. Fortunately, Wiebers isn’t afraid of taking a mess of steel and leftover parts to fashion his own design. He hand-built the fuel tank out of steel and made his own rear fender from an old boat trailer. “I built that gas tank from scratch; it wasn’t easy. I won’t do it again,” he says. “I probably have 100 hours just in that.” But the work is all worthwhile when he takes either of the bikes out on the road. He’s taken the Softail Harley out on numerous road trips, sometimes logging 300 or 400 miles in a day. “It’s a workout,” he says of the long trips. “You know you went somewhere.” And for Wiebers, wherever he goes it’s always with his own unique style.

Your
F or the first time this year, members of Grace Community Church will be
participating in a program called the Chicago Urban Mission Project, or “CHUMP” for short. The CHUMP program is spon-sored by the Church in West Ridge and has been running since 2008. It began when multiple youth groups participating in a mission trip in Chicago decided to hold an “impromptu” youth camp. The turnout was a success and drew in families in the area to come have a relationship with the church, according to youth pastor Joel Waltz. Since then every July and August, the program hosts a dif-ferent group of volunteers from around the states each week.
Twelve members of Grace Community’s high school youth group along with their pastor have volunteered to take on this challenge and give back to this Chicago community. They have already begun putting together activity plans for their assigned week, which will occur July 6 - 13. Similar to a vacation Bible school set up, these activities will include crafting and playing games. And, as to be expected, the groups will also touch on some more hard-hitting lessons. One part of that lesson is the “Pilgrim’s Progress,” which is considered by many as a signifi-cant religious work. It’s a story about the journey of the Christian. Because the children attend-
ing CHUMP will be kindergarten through fifth grade, Waltz will help draw comparisons between the book’s teachings and modern-day situations allowing these young minds to understand and grasp the concepts. Waltz says he is excited for this opportunity to serve the Church in West Ridge and hopes that by helping the individuals who attend they can pay it forward and help others. But the benefit of this trip is not a one-way street. Waltz hopes, in return for their mis-sion work, the Grace Community youth will clear what he refers to as “spiritual constipation.” He says a lot of people show up to church, listen to the scripture, go home and repeat this process passion-lessly, doing little to nothing with the teachings of God. So the Chicago mission trip will allow these young adults to apply the things they’ve learned rather than holding it all in. The hope is for everything to “work its way out of their hearts,” Waltz says, “and then on through other people.”

A pproximately 70 percent of Americans will need long-term care at some point
in their lives.1 Most often the type of care needed is not medical, but rather care for the basic personal tasks of everyday life such as bath-ing, dressing and eating. As a result, this care can be provided by friends, family or professionals in your home. In some situations, however, the additional support of a nursing or assisted living facility is required, and the costs add up quickly. While the need for long-term care can be difficult to predict or prevent, simple preparations can help you manage and afford the transition should the need arise for you or a family member. care desires with family. On average, people who turn 65 today need up to three years of long-term care services.2 The team pro-viding care initially is often made up of a spouse, adult children or siblings. Talk with your family and friends about their willingness or ability to provide care for you before the situation arises. Also discuss where you would want to receive services should you be unable to stay at home. Medicare doesn’t cover long-term care. Medicaid does cover long-term care cost if you meet state income criteria.* However, when Medicaid pays for long-term care services, it limits the type of care you can receive and where you can receive it. long-term care insurance. The
national average cost for nursing home care is $83,500 per year and more than $39,500 per year for an assisted living facility.3 Even if you pay long-term care insurance premiums for a number of years, the potential out-of-pocket cost for just one year of care without coverage far exceeds the cost of the insurance premiums. With a long-term care insurance policy, you can choose your care type, including in-home care, assisted living, nursing home care or pos-sibly a mix of care options. Long-term care is not just a concern for the elderly. Early preparation can help prevent you from being deemed high risk or denied coverage for long-term care insurance that could protect you now and into your golden years. Contact your Farm Bureau agent to learn more about long-term care insurance.

Preparing for long-term careBy Lora Ahrens Olerich, Farm Bureau Financial Services
T his salad is one that I always looked forward to when I attended Central College in
Pella in the 1980s. There, unlike at other dorms, the food was spec-tacular. Those ladies really knew how to cook and obviously enjoyed their job. At Christmastime, they even poached whole salmons and decorated them with cucumber “scales.” It was the first time I had ever seen such a beautiful presenta-tion. Little did I know then that the dorm food experience would help me in performing a job when I cooked for a dorm myself. I added the pasta, basil and the pepperoni to make this salad hearty enough for a nice summer lunch. It is really special with a crusty piece of warm bread and a glass of red wine. Leave my additions out if you are looking for a delicious low-carb side dish for your grilled steak. The garlic balsamic vinaigrette is one that I came up with when I was cooking for “my” dorm students in Boulder, Colo. Keep it refrigerated and make sure you give it a good shake before you use it. My husband prefers it to bottled dressings. If you need a gluten-free recipe for salad dressing, just substitute rice wine vinegar for the balsamic and you’re good to go.

B oone’s First National Bank has metamorphosed into the present US Bank through
numerous mergers over its 125-plus year history. Formed originally in 1885 with a capital of $50,000 by Samuel Logan Moore and associates, the bank was first located on the northeast corner of Eighth and Keeler Streets. Moore was the bank president, John M. Herman, the vice president, James Hazlett the cashier, T.B. Moore the assistant cashier and John Henry Herman the bookkeeper. S. L. Moore remained bank president until his death in 1921. In May of 1895, the bank moved to a newly-constructed brick build-ing on the southeast corner of Eighth and Story Streets, thereby reviving the corner’s banking tradi-tion established around 1867 when A. K. Wells and Smith constructed the Metropolitan Hall Block. One of the earliest brick structures in Boone, the Metropolitan Hall Block housed, among other busi-nesses, the first bank built in the city. The building burned in 1890. The First National Bank was remodeled in 1909-1910 at the cost of nearly $30,000. The brick façade on the lower floor was faced with stone and an impres-sive new entrance was added on the Story Street side. The Boone News Republican in 1910 called the renovated building the “fin-est bank home in the west.” Its
interior was conceived with “the eye of the artist.” The small lobby was “done in tile, Italian marble and solid mahogany.” The large central room was 20x24 feet with a mahogany and marble desk built around a large central pillar. The room’s floor was white tile with a dark green border and the interior was in dark green Italian marble and solid mahogany. Even work rooms and bathrooms had mahog-any and marble fittings. This elegant structure sur-vived only four years. On Dec. 19, 1914, the bank caught fire and was destroyed. Well-known Des Moines architects Proudfoot and Bird were hired to design a new, fireproof building. The eight-story bank was built between 1915 and 1916 of Bedford limestone and brick in the Classical Revival style. A free-standing clock made by the Howard Clock Company of New York was placed on the corner. The clock, also a characteristic of the Classical Revival style, was recently restored. Following the Bank Holiday in 1933, the First National Bank was reorganized into the Citizen’s National Bank in 1935. It under-went remodeling and expansion in the 1970s and again in the 1990s. In 1997 it became the Mercantile Bank of Western Iowa. In 2001 it became part of the Firstar group, and in 2002 it became part of the US Bank holdings. The building was placed on the National Registry for Historic Places in 1988.
