Where’s the exit door?W e have all been in a group of people and heard a person speak

up and say, “I am going to be asking for some volunteers.” Almost instantly we see people in the room drop their heads,

shift their eyes to the sides, check their watches and scout for the nearest exit door. And we are likely doing the same things ourselves. The sheer asking for volunteers makes a lot of people squirm, and

there’s good reason for that. If droves of people really wanted to do the tasks that were looking to be filled, there would not be a need for volunteers. Unfortunately that doesn’t change the need, and we should all be thankful that so many people do step up to help out. I contend that most all of us volunteer in one way or another, sometimes not even realizing that’s what we are doing. Once a volunteer task is completed, a certain level of satisfaction comes from helping someone or something without being com-pensated for it or needing to take credit.

Maybe more importantly, as we volunteer we teach others around us the value of doing it, too. That trend in volunteering clearly catches on and is reciprocal. Volunteers are the people who turn in town into a community. In this month’s cover story, we meet the people who help festivals run smoothly, who give comfort at the Boone County Hospital, who help restore park shelters and who help students who are struggling to learn to read. And all of them get great satisfaction from providing service. Who knows? The next time you hear a person ask for volunteers, you might avoid looking for the exit door and raise your hand instead. When you do, you will be amazed how many others will do the same. Thanks for reading.

T heir accomplishments are before us every day. They’re the people who help us find our way in times of need at Boone County Hospital.

They’re the ones who do the heavy lifting when it’s time for a community festival. They even make sure we never have to sit through a basketball game without a bag of fresh-popped pop-corn! Sometimes they team up and pull off a project as large as renovating an historic cabin in a popular city park. Many of the things they do for us are small, but how fast we would miss them if there was no one to do those things Volunteers are the people who turn a town into a community. Boone Living magazine this month went in search of volunteers — young and young at heart — to learn what it is they find so rewarding in giving up their own time in order to be of service to others. Wills Evanski started volunteering for the Boone Chamber of Commerce several years ago. He looks forward to helping out with festivals and special celebrations both spring and fall, and sounds like he wouldn’t mind being even busier. “I love helping people,” Evanski says. “It gives me something to do and keeps me off the Internet,” he adds with a chuckle. Evanski is so dedicated to the annual Pufferbilly Days celebration that he schedules a vacation from work each year just to have the time to be of service. “I take a week off from work, and I help set up for the festival,” he explains. “I spend a lot of time at the festival and do whatever I can to help them out.” Set-up for Pufferbilly Days takes a lot of man hours and people willing to give of themselves. Wills says he’s happy to do whatever he can, from setting up tents to carrying in picnic tables, and then cleaning it all up when the festival has run it course. And, for Evanski, that’s the hardest part of it all. “I really like the festival, and it makes me sad when it all ends,” he says.

Fortunately all the volunteers have a chance to unwind together with wrap-up sessions when the work is done. “We go to a friend’s house for a wrap-up, or to the shelter at McHose Park. That’s a lot of fun,” he adds. As is often the case with vol-unteers, Evanski says it’s a great way to meet new people in the community. While he’s a big fan of Emily McColloch, who joined the Chamber as Events Coordinator about a year ago, he still treasures the friendships he’s made with those who came before. “I kind of miss Brenda Miller; she’s a sweet lady,” Evanski says. In addition to Pufferbilly Days, Wills volunteers for the Chamber at the annual Omelet Breakfast in the spring. Throughout the sum-mer, he stays busy volunteering for local Little League games. “I go out to the Little League park and help them do scoreboard keeping,” he says. “I love watching the kids play.”

Mark Westberg is another local volunteer who finds that helping others is a great way to help himself. Westberg started vol-unteering at the Boone and Scenic Valley Railroad after he graduated from high school in 1991. Westberg’s specialty is a sim-ple thing, popping popcorn, but it’s often the simple things in life that add flavor to happy memories. “It’s a happy atmosphere,”

Westberg says of the depot, greet-ing people who have come in to take a ride on the train and relax for an afternoon of family fun. Westberg’s “office” is the caboose parked just outside the depot where he pops tons of pop-corn each summer, and then takes it in to the depot to sell. His work is all volunteer and done mostly out of love for being able to be a part of his community. “It’s my hobby. I get to meet a lot of people, and I help tell the visitors where things are,” he says with satisfaction. Westberg is also a familiar face at most high school sport-ing events in Boone. For decades now he’s been supporting the local Boosters with popcorn sales. In just about every season, from foot-ball to swimming, wrestling to bas-ketball, and his favorite pastime of baseball, Westberg can be found at sporting events selling his famous popcorn. “It’s fun to see a lot of differ-ent people, and sometimes you see friends that you haven’t talked to for a long time,” Westberg says. The Boone High School Boosters were grateful enough for his support that several years ago they nominated Westberg for the Governor’s Volunteer Service Award. Then-Gov. Tom Vilsack presented Westberg with the award, a moment he won’t soon forget. JoAnn Grimm is a young-at-heart volunteer who enjoys know-ing that her efforts make a differ-ence at Boone County Hospital. Far from taking it easy in retire-ment, she can take pride in giving back to her community and staying active. “I enjoy seeing the people and doing something constructive,” Grimm says. For some 25 years, Grimm was a familiar face downtown as catalog manager at the former JC Penney store. When she retired from there in 1994, she knew she didn’t want to just sit at home. She went to the hospital and signed up to work as a volunteer at the host-ess desk. Volunteers are often the first people who greet visitors to the

hospital. They provide a comfort-ing voice and knowledgeable infor-mation to help people find their way around and let them know that everyone is there to help. “We always want to put peo-ple at ease when they’re here,” she says. Grimm volunteers one after-noon every two weeks in the hos-pital gift shop, but she substitutes for others and so is still a frequent face at the hostess desk when needed. In addition to her volunteer work at Boone County Hospital, Grimm volunteers twice a week at Lincoln Elementary School reading to students. “I love the little first graders; they are so interesting and just a lively bunch,” Grimm says with a warm smile. Staying connected with children seems to help keep her young. And if the school and hospital isn’t enough, Grimm also finds time to volunteer at her church. She and her daughter team up to organize funeral dinners as needed at Community Christian Church. It’s a much-needed ministry and a comfort to families at a difficult time. Grimm adds that it takes a lot of volunteers to provide for fami-lies, putting out the call for even more volunteers to step forward

with salads and bars or to help serve. It may seem like a small thing, but for a bereaved family, that action of caring makes a dif-ference. Whatever the volunteer opportunity is, Grimm says those who have never volunteered really don’t know what they’re missing. And while she understands that time is limited in today’s world, she believes that everyone has at least a little time to give. “You always have a few hours available,” Grimm says. Once a person finds an hour to volunteer, she’s convinced that they’ll be hooked enough to keep on giving. “It benefits you as a person to get out and do something constructive. It’s very satisfying,” Grimm adds. Dr. John Murphy may be retired as a physician, but it’s likely that he would be happy to give this prescription to just about anyone: doing for others is a great way to rid one’s self of many troubles. Not everything, but it sure can help. Murphy is a long-time vol-unteer in Boone and continues to be most active with the City Parks Commission. His passion in recent months has been restora-tion efforts at an early day shelter in Herman Park.

The Gutterridge Cabin at the Equestrian Center had had little done to it in more than 40 years, according to Murphy. When the renovation is complete this spring, he expects it be one of the most popular cabins in the park system. “I think this will be a real asset to the community, and I think it will be our most popular shelter house,” Murphy adds. But none of it could have hap-pened without volunteers, and in particular the volunteer leadership by members of the Boone Parks Commission. Mike Swarts is chairman of the commission this year and has been rolling up his sleeves all winter long to assist the full-time staff in restoration efforts. “I enjoy working with the guys and seeing what their challenges are, and hopefully we can meet those challenges that they have,” he explains. Now in his sixth year on the Parks Commission, Swarts agrees that it’s important for people to

take a role in caring for their com-munity. “I’ve always been interested in getting our park system improved, everything from our buildings and grounds to our cemetery,” Swarts says of his volunteer work on behalf of the parks. Both Murphy and Swarts

would much rather talk about the renovated shelter than their own volunteer efforts. Moved to its present site in 1969, the ancient cabin was donated to the park system local attorney Bill Doran, who had used it as a horse barn at his property on Kate Shelly Drive. With pine

car siding that smells as fresh as a forest, the cabin has come a long way this winter. New windows and a new furnace will make it a comfortable place in most any weather. “It’s gone from looking like a dungeon with a leftover haymow to a neat little ski chalet,” Murphy says. And none of it would have happened without volunteers. “It’s pretty fundamental that we have people who are willing to do things and to give,” says Murphy. And, in just about any commu-nity, it’s true that it’s usually a small percentage of the people who do a large share of the work in any volunteer endeavor. But if they only knew the secret — that volunteering gives as much to the person doing the work as it does to the people benefiting — then perhaps more people would join the effort. If you want to feel needed, the best way to do so is to volunteer.

Mike Swarts and Dr. John Murphy are key volunteers in a cabin restoration project.

Students began attending the first Page School in October 1901.

Building named for Boone businessman

By Suzanne Caswell, Boone County Historical Society

Page School

T he first Page School was built on the 100 block of South Boone Street in 1901

at the cost of of $14,500. Land for the third ward school was purchased in 1896. To raise funds for the construction, a mill levy was approved by the pub-lic and authorized by the school board in 1900. Actual construction did not begin until May 1901. Although plans were to have the building ready by the begin-ning of the 1901 school year in September, the school board did not accept the newly-constructed school until early October. In the mean time, third ward children attended another Boone school. The new school was named for Stephen Rice Page, son of New Hampshire Gov. John Page. A former teacher and business-man, Page arrived in Boone in 1867, quickly becoming a large property owner and was active in local affairs. He served on the City Council in 1870-1871 and 1876-1879 and as Boone’s mayor in 1873. From 1883 to 1891 he was secretary of the Boone School Board. He died in 1894. Page School initially had eight grades, first through eighth and no kindergarten. Curriculum empha-sized reading, writing, arithmetic, spelling and language. Students also enjoyed marching to music. “‘The students would line up in two lines and march down the

stairs at recess or dismissal time, with teachers standing, one on the landing and one on the lower level clapping to the music,’ ” Louise Ingersoll, a former student and teacher at the old school recount-ed in an interview with the Boone News Republican in 1965. On Jan. 29, 1921, the school was gutted by fire, which started in the boiler room around 6 a.m. and ate its way through the ceil-ing. The floor of the seventh grade classroom and its contents fell into the boiler room. Adjacent rooms were also damaged, but the top floor of the school survived. Students were shuttled to other schools while the building was repaired. A second fire occurred later in the cupola when the build-ing was struck by lightning. Construction of a new Page School was authorized by the school board in 1960. Architects Karl Keffer Associates of Des Moines produced plans that allowed the old building to be used while the new one was under construc-tion. The new school was described by the Boone News Republican as “an L-shaped building including both one-story and two-story construc-tion. The two-story part of the building is on the north end and on the south end; in the one story part is located the multipurpose room.” The second Page school was dedicated on Jan. 28, 1962, by Gov. Norman Erbe, a Boone native.

McClain brings old Fords back to life

By Lori Berglund

Classic restorations

P erhaps there ought to be a law: No guy ever has to sell his first car. At the very least,

no guy should ever have to sell the very first auto that he restored himself. Unless that guy chooses to sell it to make room for — you guessed it —more toys. That’s enough reason to make any man part with a classic. And that’s just what happened with Gary McClain and the 1955 Ford truck he restored nearly 30 years ago. “I sold it so I could build this garage,” McClain explains. The spacious garage — which is more like two garages linked together — is paradise for a guy who taught himself how to work on and restore cars. “I had auto mechanics in high school, took some welding, but it was mostly learning by trial and error,” McClain says. By the looks of the cars in his garage, he taught himself well. McClain estimates that he’s restored at least a dozen, perhaps up to 20 classic cars and trucks during the years. A natural at working with his hands, McClain did nearly the entire restoration on a sleek,

Torch Red 1934 Ford. Built as a hot rod, the old Ford had seen better days when McClain bought it several years ago. It sat in the car garage for a few years before he pulled out the engine and replaced it with a Chevy motor. “It costs less to do it that way, and they’re good, depend-able, engines,” he explains. McClain’s brother completed the paintwork and the vehicle is now pristine inside and out. Its garage mate is nearly as nice. The black 1936 Ford looks like some-thing George Bailey would have driven in “It’s a Wonderful Life,” or something Bonnie and Clyde would have sped away from a bank robbery in, McClain chuckles. Both of the Fords have suicide doors, which adds to their unique beauty. But these classics aren’t made just to sit in the garage. McClain says he drives each one of them and even calls the 1936 model “more of an every day” car. He also takes out the hot rod, but he hasn’t put the pedal down to see what it can do. With a home as nice as this garage, these classics are staying in classic condition for a long while.

Information provided by Lois A. Powers, Keep Boone County Beautiful coordinator.

I n recent years I have taken the time to study more about well-known or maybe not-so-well-

known conservationists who had an impact in Iowa and around the United States. In a recent article written by Gerry Schnepf, executive director of Keep Iowa Beautiful, I learned of Major John Fletcher Lacey. According to Schnepf’s article (which can be found on the Keep Iowa Beautiful website) Lacey’s history and legacy of congressio-nal actions for the protection of the birds, the environment, our culture and the beauty of this nation is unprecedented in our history. He was a spokesperson and advocate for both our cultural and natural history at a time when it certainly wasn’t a topic of nor-mal discussion. The article states Lacey’s efforts helped to establish the U.S. Forest Service, protected the remaining buffalo herds, aided in establishing Crater Lake, Mount Rainier and Mesa Verdi as well as guiding action for the protection of Yellowstone, Yosemite and other national parks. Lacey was a prac-ticing attorney for the railroad in Oskaloosa. Conservation has always been an interest to me, and being a part of the Dragoon River Romp, study-ing the history of the Dragoons and the use of the river by settlers in earlier years fascinates me. I became a kayaker after the first Dragoon River Romp. Most of my floats are at Don Williams Lake or the Des Moines River, but I

occasionally travel to Ada Hayden Park in Ames. While looking through some booklets published by the Iowa Association of Naturalists, I learned about Ada Hayden, said to be the first voice for the preservation of Iowa’s prairies. Hayden was born in Ames in 1884 and became a profes-sor of botany at Iowa State College. She was the first woman to earn a Ph.D. from Iowa State College. In 1945, Hayden was given a $100 grant to survey the entire state and locate and document native prairie tracts. By the time her work was finished in 1946, she had identified and documented 32 prairies and located 89 others. In 1947, Dr. Hayden pointed out that Iowa’s prairie once covered more than 80 percent of the state and what was left was reduced to small remnants, many of which occurred along roadsides. Her holistic view of native prairie as a key compo-nent of our natural and cultural heritage started a lasting prairie preservation effort in Iowa. Jay Norwood “Ding” Darling, Aldo Leopold and Louis H. Pammel are just a few more of the many Iowans who have made an impact on conservation practices over the years. Are we forgetting what our lands and its wildlife has done for us? Some information obtained from Gerry Schnepf, Keep Iowa Beautiful and the booklet “Important Iowa Conservationists” from the Iowa Natural Resource Heritage Series, Iowa Association of Naturalists.

health Q&A

Q: What is proper running form?A: If you are considering a 5K, 10K, duathlon or any fitness challenge and want to improve your running form with more efficiency while reducing risk of injury, the following are training tips to consider. Look ahead. Your eyes should be focused on the ground about 10 to 20 feet ahead of you. Land mid-foot. If you land on your toes, your calves will get tight or fatigue quickly and you may develop shin pain. Keep your feet pointed straight ahead. Make sure your toes are pointed in the direction you want to go. Running with your feet pointed in or out could lead to injuries. Relax your hands. Don’t clench your fists because it can lead to tightness in the arms, shoulders and neck. Check your posture. Your head should be up, your back straight and shoul-ders level When you feel yourself slouching, poke your chest out. Rotate arms from the shoulder. Your arms should swing back and forth from your shoulder joint, not your elbow joint.

Q: What is the best advice for cold weather running? A: Dress in thin, wicking layers. Wear a thin layer of synthetic material which wicks sweat from your body. An outer, breathable layer of nylon or Gore-Tex will help protect you against wind and precipitation. Protect your hands and feet. Wear running gloves that wick moisture away; wear mittens on colder days. Add a wicking sock liner under a warm polar fleece or wool sock. You’re going to warm up once you get moving. Rule of thumb: Dress as if it’s 20 degrees warmer outside. Always drink plenty of water before, during and after a run.

S ome people never find exact-ly what it is they were meant to do in this life.

Some people never look. For Pauline Brittain, there isn’t any doubt she’s found her answer. Teaching, as she describes it, is not a job, not a profession, but a call-ing — a passion held deep within to make a difference in the lives of students. A southern Minnesota native, Brittain earned her undergraduate degrees from Augustana College in Sioux Falls, S.D., where she dou-ble-majored in elementary educa-tion and special education. Before coming to Boone in 1996, she taught at Sioux City and Eldora. The early part of her career was spent in special education. “I enjoyed working with chil-dren one on one and being able to see their progress,” Brittain says of her work as a Level I resource teacher in special education. She also began her career in Boone working in special educa-tion, but several years ago decided it was time for a change. “I just felt that having my own classroom, and being in a self-contained situation with kids the full day, was where I needed to be,” she says. “I just felt called to do that, and I have loved that. I definitely think that this is what God wants me to do.” Brittain is now closing in on 10 years as a fourth grade teacher at Franklin Elementary School and is still refreshed to start each new

day with students. “I love the fourth grade; I think it’s the best age because they have a lot of independence,” she explains. “Most of them really like coming to school, even though they might not admit it.” Brittain says her classroom isn’t known for being a “quiet zone.” Rather, she delights in the sounds of learning taking place. “I always have very noisy class-rooms. They talk a lot, probably because I model that. But I do love the way they react to each other and the way they show their excitement in their learning.” Most of all, Brittain says her goal is prepare students for life. “My great desire for them is to be happy and successful in their adulthood, and that is why I do this every day,” she says with a con-tentment found only from knowing you’re doing just what you were meant to do.

health Q&A

Q: What is the leading cause of functional disability?A: When most people think of disability, accidents and injuries often come to mind. However, the most common cause of progressive and long-term functional disability is spinal disorders. By functional disability we mean the inability to move around without pain, to travel, to work, play golf, hunt, fish, shop, play with your children or grandchildren… to do the things that you want or need to do. Your chances of experiencing functional disabilities increase as you get older, as the wear and tear progressively degenerates your back. All of the stressors that your body endures throughout your life from accidents, injuries, poor posture and repetitive stress will accumulate and decrease your motion and nerve function leading to functional disabilities. That is unless you do something to counteract them. Chiropractic adjustments help by removing subluxations in your spine, which result from those stressors. After removing the subluxations, your body restores proper spinal alignment, joint motion and nerve function. Studies show that if you do not work to maintain spinal motion and func-tion, you can lose 50 percent of your peak functional mobility by the age of 50 and 75 percent by the age of 60. However, if you take care of your body and spine by counteracting the wear and tear with chiropractic care, you can keep up to 75 percent of your functional mobility to the age of 80. Do yourself and your family a favor; get your spine checked today to prevent this functional loss in the future. Information provided by Dr. Chris Tigges of Boone Family Chiropractic, 1320 S. Marshall St., 432-9525.

Q: What snacks and beverages should I avoid for limited dental concerns?A: There are many snacks and beverages to avoid as an adult and child. It is easier to teach good habits to children at a young age than to break as you get older. You should avoid or limit your intake of sugary and high acidic beverages. These include soda, fruit juices, Kool-aid, sports drinks and energy drinks. All of the beverages listed either contain a high amount of sugar or acid that can eat away at the enamel of your teeth and cause cavities. Snacks to avoid or limit would be ones that easily stick in your teeth such as fruit snacks, raisins, hard candy or any other dried fruit. They contain a higher amount of sugar and can stick to the teeth easier, allowing them to sit there longer and give the bacteria in your mouth something to feed on. Some of these snacks and beverages are OK only in moderation or for special occasions. If you are going to indulge in these types of snacks or beverages, make sure that you brush and floss well afterward to avoid any concerns of getting a cavity. Good snacks and beverages include water, milk, fruits and vegetables.

T eske Drake knows loss. There is perhaps no greater feeling of despair and help-

lessness to point of making one’s faith waver, like losing a loved one, especially a child. Unfortunately, like so many others, Drake has been there. In 2006, she lost her newborn daughter. From the ashes a phoenix may ascend, carried only by the winds of true faith. Rising from the ashes of her grief, Drake has been lifted with inspiration to help others experi-encing the same unrelenting sor-row that she has known. That led her co-create the Des Moines group “Mommies with Hope,” a Biblically-based support group for women who have experienced the loss of a child. Whether that loss is recent or abiding, all stages of grief are welcome to the group. She has also authored the book “Hope for Today, Promises for Tomorrow.” Written from the perspective of one grieving mother to another, “Hope for Today, Promises for Tomorrow” is a 10-week study that will encourage and challenge women to delve into a deeper understanding of God’s word.

Drake will share her thoughts on “Choosing Joy Always,” which promises to encourage, equip and empower women at every stage of life to choose joy in the midst of all of life’s circumstances. Her mes-sage is, of course, inspired by her own experience through the loss

of her baby and the subsequent experience of two miscarriages. Drake draws from her person-al story to share God’s redeeming love and the promised hope in His Son, Jesus Christ. Sharing truths from the book of Philippians, Drake will encourage women to live joyfully in light of Jesus’ love, letting go of the past, embracing the present and pressing on for eternity. Join Drake for an elegant after-noon tea at 2 p.m. on April 27 at First Evangelical Free Church of Boone. The women of the church are inviting their friends and fami-liesto a multi-generational tea with all the trimmings, including a variety of teas, pastries and other treats to offer guests while they take in an uplifting message of hope.

recipe Submit ideas to [email protected]

M ost of the time, I love to bake and enjoy the results. However, there are a few treats that are best left to the mass production bakeries. One of these treats is HoHos. I am not sure why I like

them so much, but I think it is the light cake, frosting and the choco-late shell — especially the chocolate shell. Sometimes I would eat it all together or peel the chocolate shell off and just eat it first. Many years ago my co-workers all bought me boxes of HoHos for my birthday, and I was supplied for months. It was great. Late last year when Hostess filed for bankruptcy and stopped making HoHos, I got to work on how to recreate this goodness. I found out creating this treat is not an easy feat. Once I found a cake recipe that matched the consistency of the real deal, the rest came together. The filling was easy to recreate. The chocolate coating is tricky. Rolling cake and working with melted chocolate and coating the cakes is a challenge. I’m sharing this recipe, but I will warn you — it is not easy. There are clearly some things a machine can do better, and someone needs to bring back this line of business.

Homemade HoHosCake5 eggs2 yolks¾ cup brown sugar1 teaspoon of vanilla extract6 tbsp. cocoa powder¼ tsp. of baking powder¼ cup melted butter¾ cup flour1: Prep a jelly roll pan with parch-ment paper or release spray. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. In a double boiler mix sugar, eggs and vanilla; stir until warm and the sugar looks dissolved. (Be careful here or you will have scrambled eggs.) Once dissolved, pour mixture into your stand mixer and use the whisk attachment for 6 minutes. Mixture should be light and fluffy.2: While the mixer is working sift your dry ingredients together. After the 6 minutes slowly sift dry ingre-dients into stand mixer and slowly fold the two together. Alternate dry ingredients and butter until all in corporate. Pour into jelly roll pan and bake for 14-16 minutes. 3: Once cake is out of the oven, loosen the edges and flip the cake

upside down onto parchment paper. Filling1 cup of butter 3 cups of powdered sugar1 tsp. of vanilla2-4 tbsp. of heavy whipping cream1: While the cake is baking mix up the filling. Start with the butter and sugar. Once it is all blended add the vanilla and heavy whipping cream as needed for the right spreading consistency. 2: Spread the filling on the cake. Roll the cake tightly on the long side until you have a 2-inch-thick log. Cut the remaining cake and then roll the second section. It is key to do this while the cake is warm. Roll both logs in plastic wrap and place in refrigerator with the seam side down. Let cool for at least 30 minutes. Once cooled cut log into 2-inch to 3-inch pieces.Coating12 oz. of chocolate chips2 oz. of butter-flavored CriscoMelt together in your double boiler. Once melted, dip your mini-logs into chocolate and let the excess drip off. Place on parchment paper until cooled.

Snack cake recipe is tricky, but tasty

R etirement may close the book on some aspects of financial planning — but it

will open the book on others. If you have assets in a qualified employer-sponsored retirement plan, such as a 401(k), you may face an important decision regard-ing the distribution of those assets. Your options may include receiv-ing monthly payments from the plan for life or electing a rollover of your plan to an IRA. Consider the pros and cons of each choice before you decide on your course of action. Some company retirement plans distrib-ute retirement income in the form of an annuity that pays you in monthly installments over your lifetime or perhaps over the joint lifetime of you and your spouse. A steady income stream for life may appeal to you if you are concerned about issues such as market vola-tility or outliving your retirement assets. However, fixed monthly income payments might not keep pace with your financial needs. Throughout retirement, you may need additional money for unex-pected expenses or because of increases in the cost of living due to inflation. The limitations of fixed distributions may force you to tap other assets to make ends meet. A roll-over of a lump-sum retirement plan distribution to a traditional IRA may give you greater flex-ibility in handling your retirement assets. You determine how the money is invested and when to withdraw funds as you need them. Depending on the performance of

the investments you choose, you may have the potential to gener-ate enough to cover daily financial needs, unplanned expenses and perhaps provide for your survivors. If you would like the enhanced security of an income stream you cannot outlive and the flexibility to invest and withdraw retirement funds as you wish, you may not have to choose one option over the other. Some employers may allow you to elect an IRA rollover for a portion of your plan balance and take annuitized distributions with the rest. Another possibility is to choose a rollover for the entire balance and purchase your own annuity within the IRA using a portion of the funds. If you explore your retirement distribution options and determine your course of action now, that’s one less decision you’ll need to make at retirement. Your Waddell and Reed financial advisor can help you examine your choices and make a sound decision. Contact your advisor today to arrange a consultation. Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of a fund carefully before investing. For a prospectus containing this and other information for the mutu-al funds offered by Waddell and Reed, call your financial advisor or visit us online www.waddell.com. Please read the prospectus care-fully before investing. Please note that mutual funds will fluctuate in value and an inves-tor can lose money by investing in mutual funds.

T he story you are about to read is true. The names have not been changed

because, well… um… it’s me — and I’m guilty. Guilty and addicted — com-pletely — to a sweet little bun of cinnamon, hot and delicious, but until recently so difficult to grasp. Yes, I have a Cinnabon addic-tion. It’s a family thing; my brother is similarly afflicted. When we first discovered Cinnabon it was in Rochester, Minn., visiting family members at the Mayo Clinic. From that time on, we would fight to be the one drive up to Rochester — ostensibly to care for family, but we both knew that we were really headed to the Cinnabon establish-ment there. And then, a few years ago, a Cinnabon place came to Des Moines, but in truth I seldom get to Des Moines, once or twice a year, and then I’m usually on the wrong side of town. I did, however, once carry $24 worth of Cinnabons from the Atlanta International Airport back here to Iowa. Homeland Security was set to respond in full gear to the brouha-ha on Concourse D, but then they learned it was just me, jumping up and down in delight at discovering a little Cinnabon place right there in the airport.

I stocked up. A business col-league flying with me assumed that I would share, and didn’t buy any for herself. She assumed wrong. The two boxes containing $24 worth of Cinnabons fit neatly under my seat. I sneaked a bite here and there — surreptiously, of course — so as not to be coerced into sharing.

Now, delight of delights, we have Cinnabons available every day in Boone. It’s a dream come true. With the opening of the city’s newest eatery on the south side near Highway 30, I can get Cinnabons every day. And if you haven’t tried them yet, oh, what you are missing. But you might want to get there before me. And, of course, it’s terrific to have anoher dining selection in town. I paired my Cinnabons with a small cup of Burger King’s vanilla latte, and it was wonderful. The full menu brings some flame-broiled goodness to town, and be sure and go inside. The décor is lively and refreshing, inviting you take your time with “fast food.”

Railroad author, teacher and historian Dick Steffen will present a free program Saturday, March 30 at 2 p.m. entitled “Jewell Junction, A Railroad Town Then and Now” at the Iowa Railroad Historical Society’s James H. Andrew Railroad Museum and History Center. The museum is located adjacent to the Boone and Scenic Valley Railroad in Boone. Steffen, of Jewell, is a retired South Hamilton social studies teacher. He is locally known as the Jewell historian. As such, he was instrumental in writing the quasi-quicentennial book of Jewell for the 125 year celebra-tion in 2006. His interest in trains began with trike rides to watch trains in his birth town of Cedar Falls. His interest grew in watching trains dur-ing his elementary years in Osage. He spent numerous Saturdays helping the agent at the Waverly Illinois Central depot and grew his timetable collection through his high school years. Steffen has published articles in numerous rail magazines. He is a member of the Amesrailfans, the Chicago and North Western Historical Society, the National Railroad Historical Society, the National Association of Timetable Collectors and is a reserve distributor of the CNWHS magazine, the North Western Lines. Beyond an article in Railfan and an early photo in Trains, his first publication in the North Western Lines was a three-part article on Jewell: the Railroad Town in 2011. His latest work was a series of maps developed to show the construction development of the Chicago and North Western Railway published in 2012. His program will include powerpoint support with many rare pho-tos. There is no fee for attending these programs in the theater. If you wish a tour of the museum cost is $8 adults and $3 children.

B ake a cake for your cel-ebration of spring. Ericson Public Library has more than

100 different cake pan designs to choose from. The library has quite the selec-tion. The collection can be found on the main floor of the library near the nonfiction books. A large sign hangs above them so you can easily locate them. This is a great way to test out your baking skills, entertain a child in your life, or just do it for the pure enjoyment of creating some-thing yummy to share with family and friends. The pans check out for two weeks, so there is plenty of time to plan the other essentials — frosting color, cake flavor and whether there will be sprinkles involved. There is a 10 cent per day fine if a pan is returned late. While you are here, check out our cookbooks in the 641 section. Two recommendations include the “Back in the Day Bakery Cookbook” by Cheryl Day and “Bake It Like You Mean It” by Gesine Bullock-Prado. Keep in mind that if they are checked out, you can put a hold on them, or we can always borrow from another library for a small fee of $1.25 to help cover shipping the item if we don’t own something that you’d like to read. Have a pan of your own that would enhance our collection? Please feel free to donate. We

always appreciate the help from our community. If you have any questions about our cake pans, ask a librarian.
