From the News Editor
Thanksgiving... What are you thankful for?
The holiday seasons are fast approaching! With Thanksgiving and Christmas
getting closer by the week, we start to ponder thoughts about the things in our
lives that make us thankful. I know of families that say grace at the dinner table
every night. While holding hands and being creative with no repeats, they
express one thing they are thankful for. When I sit down with my family I will be
prepared with several things I’m thankful for this year, including how much fun
and joy the holiday season brings.
The contents of this November issue includes articles that will jump start your holiday spirit.
Here is a quick look:
-What to be thankful for, uplifting or spiritual happenings in your life.
-Deck the halls for the seasons and get some tips on holiday decorating and suggestions of where
to buy it.
-Gear up to start shopping for your family, friends and loved ones but also ways to save money and
keep it under control.
-People who become involved and help others in the community by volunteering their time.
-Trying to keep the holiday stress under control with some tips on relaxing and taking some time
for yourself.
When you do sit down with your loved ones for your holiday seasons, be thankful for everyone and
everything that makes it possible. Look your family and friends in the eye and express to them your
gratitude for sharing this wonderful time together.

How long have you been teaching
art, how long have you been at
Phillips Middle School?
“This is my forth year here at Phillips
and was my first job out of college
(The University of Iowa).”
What age groups do you teach?
“I teach seventh and eighth graders.”
Where are you originally from?
What inspired your move to Fort
Dodge?
“I am originally from Washington,
which is a small town about 30 minutes
south of Iowa City. My grandparents
have lived in Fort Dodge for many
years. My grandpa used to be the man-
ager at the airport. I have been coming
here to visit since I was a little girl and
one of my favorite places to go was the
Oleson Park Zoo.”
Do you have any hobbies, involved
in art programs or associations?
“When I did my student teaching in
Iowa City, I had to teach a stained glass
class. Well, I had never done stained
glass before so I had to learn very fast.
I learned a lot up as I went along and I
quickly got the hang of it and began to
make my own pieces. Now I have a
small studio set up in my basement
where I make small projects for myself,
family and friends.”

Class NotesMeet Art Teacher Sarah Peters
photographs by Kathleen Koch
Sarah Peters before a chalk board mural in her classroom.
Fort Dodge Today � November 2011 � 11
What made you want to teach art?
“I have always loved art and school.
My favorite teacher when I was
younger was my junior high art teacher,
Mrs. Wade. She was so cool and laid
back, and she really challenged me to
do my best work. So it was probably
about seventh grade that I decided this
was the career
for me.
Interestingly
enough, I
wasn’t too fond
of my high
school art
teacher and I
remember
thinking ‘When
I grow up I’m
gonna be a bet-
ter art teacher
than her.’”
What is the
most enjoy-
able thing
about
teaching art?
“I love both the
process and the
product. It is so
fun seeing their
projects
progress from
just a blank
piece of paper
to a colorful
poster.”
What is a favorite thing to teach
middle school kids about art?
“My favorite project is pop art. The
students have so much fun learning
about Andy Warhol and pop culture.”
Do you have any hobbies or what
do you like to do in your free
time?
“I have actually been learning to speak
Japanese. I am applying to teach in
Japan for a year, so I am trying to pre-
pare myself by studying the language
and culture. Its not as difficult as many
people think it is.”
What is your favorite thing about
art and the holiday seasons
approaching?
“I love baking and decorating
Christmas cookies. I have a whole cup-
board full of chocolate chips, different
colored sprinkles and food coloring.”
What inspires you the most, or
what was the best advice that was
given to you that you take to
heart?
“This is a tough question, I suppose the
thing that I heard the most when I was
going through my teacher training and
during my first years of teaching was
‘Don’t sweat the little things.’ I think
it applies to both teaching and life
in general.”Peters is studying Japanese while applying to teachschool in Japan for a year.

Maddy Major is responsible for her
parents’ involvement in Girl Scouts.
Maddy became a Brownie three years
ago when she was a kindergartener at
Feelhaver School, and her parents
became group leaders for Troop 11.
“I was in Girl Scouts as a child and I
wanted my daughter to be in it. So, I
went down to the Girl Scout office and
found that they not only needed girls in
Girl Scouts, but they needed adults to
be volunteer leaders, co-leaders, or
whatever you could do,” Jodi Major
said. “You don’t have to have a girl in
photographs by Robert WolfrobertrobertwolfcoLorlocal
Major Volunteersfor Girl Scouts
Jason and Jodi Major got involved in the GIrl Scouts when their daughter, Maddy, became a Brownie.
Fort Dodge Today � November 2011 � 13
Girl Scouts. They are looking for anybody that is willing
to spend a little time and help out. You can help out at
the troop level, or at times the Girl Scouts will have a
sponsored activity and they will be looking for volunteers
just for that day. In Girl Scouts, you can be as busy and
involved as you want.”
Girl Scouts are involved in many community activities.
The Girl Scouts have books for Brownies called journey
books, which give the girls ideas of how to get involved
in their community or at the troop level.
“The Girl Scouts want their programs to be girl-led.
The adults are there as supervisors. However, it’s kind of
hard for a 5-year old, so that’s why they like the adults to
be a little more proactive in the troop,” said Jodi Major.
With the Girl Scouts “you are involved with little girls
that may not have the same family situation as we do.
It’s nice to see the girls become more confident in them-
selves and helping them grow and mature. You can actu-
ally see one on one the positive things that Girl Scouts
does that affects those girls.”
“Our troop went to the different nursing homes and
planted flowers,” Jason Major said. They also do fun
activities like swimming, hiking in Kennedy Park and
Adventureland.
“We also help with the fall products sale every year with
the nuts and magazines. I’m chairing that this year,” he
said. “What that entails is getting all the troop leaders
educated on how to do the program and how to help
the girls actually raise money for their individual troops.
And we have the distribution side. The Hy-Vee
Drugstore allows all the products to be delivered to the
store. We assist in getting it out to the other troops and
the children. Last year, we were also the distribution site
for the Girl Scout cookies and that’s the big thing,”
he said.
“A World of Girls” is a Girl Scout publication for Brownies,giving them ideas of how they can be involved in thecommunity.
The Girl Scout Trefoil pinhas three leaves. Eachleaf stands for a part ofthe GIrl Scout promise toserve God and country,to help people at alltimes and to live by theGirl Scout Law. Major Volunteers continued next page.

Hy-Vee brought the Major family to
Fort Dodge.
“I’ve worked for Hy-Vee for 18 years,
traveled all around. The Hy-Vee
Drugstore was the main reason
because it was my first store director
assignment,” said Jason. “I’ve grown
up with Hy-Vee. Every time we go to a
meeting or hear any of our CEOs
speak, it is always about being a
leader, giving back to your community,
and being respected. Some of the best
things you can do to live that way is to
volunteer and give back to your com-
munity. It just becomes a part of who
you are,” he said.
Troop 11 meets monthly at the First
United Methodist Church.
“We do a large amount with the Girl
Scouts, and we are also involved with
the First United Methodist Church
and a lot of the other things we like to
do quietly.” Jason Major said.
There are many organizations they
belong to but they believe in picking
one or two organizations to be really
out front and active in and to support
the others to a lesser extinct.
“They just can’t give the time and
commitment to do everything right
and you have to be well organized,”
Jodi Major said.
“Jason and Jodi Major are the kind of
leaders Girl Scouts is built upon. They
refuse to turn any girl away from their
troop, regardless of how large the
troop may be. In order to form a Girl
Scout troop there needs to be a mini-
mum of two adults and five girls.
Troop 11 currently has seven adults
and 18 girls involved,” said Tanya
Martinson, girl services manager for
Girl Scouts of Greater Iowa. “Jason
Major was recognized at Man of the
Year at the 2011 annual meeting in
April, an amazing feat with considera-
tion given to the size of the Girl
Scouts of Greater Iowa. We encom-
pass 67 counties in Iowa, two counties
in South Dakota, and one county in
Nebraska,” Martinson said.
“October is the beginning of our next
membership year and also the year of
our 100th birthday,” she said.
“Balance between work, home, and
volunteerism is always difficult but if
you believe in the organization you are
volunteering with it’s a lot easier,”
Jason Major said.

With the holidays upon us, many peo-
ple overspend. Dallas Wall facilitates a
program at First Evangelical Free
Church to help people with their
finances.
Wall facilitates a 13-week course on
Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace
University at the church to help people
with their finances. He discovered the
program by chance
“We had a
class in our
church on
finances in
the Bible,
and at that
point I
started
investigat-
ing.”
He and his
wife then
discovered
Ramsey’s
program
comprised
of DVDs,
workbooks
and other
books.
“About 10
years ago
my finan-
cial condition was not very good. We
had some debt and we were just not
getting ahead. That’s when I discovered
Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace,” said
Dallas.
“Dave Ramsey was a very wealthy man
at one time. On paper, he was very
wealthy. He finally went broke, and he
had to pull himself up from the depths
of financial ruin. He started investigat-
ing rich people. He started doing what
rich people did and after he discovered
that living in debt was foolish it started
to change his life. Shortly after that he
began a radio program and starting
writing books. It caught on and snow-
balled to where it is at today.”
Wall said he was attracted to the pro-
gram because of its humor, and he
learned there were things that he was
doing which didn’t make sense. When
he became organized and made sense
out of what he was doing, everything
changed for him.
For example rich people, “pay cash for
things. They don’t go in debt to buy
things,” Wall said. “Credit cards are not
good. They also have some money set
aside in a reserve fund for that unex-
pected emergency and talk about giv-
ing,” he said.
“Everything we own belongs to the
Lord. We are his stewards.” How much
to give is up to the individual, Dallas
said.

faith
“Through that, that changed my atti-
tude toward money; how I earn it; how
I spent it; how I save it; and also how I
give it. I do it because it moved me and
if it moved me I believe it can move
other people,” he said of the program.
The program is usually offered in the
fall, “but I hope this will be available
other times of the year with multiple
people leading them,” he said. “Anyone
who has graduated from the program
can lead the next session. It’s open to
the community. We do have several
people in our financial peace class that
are not part of our church.”
There is a fee to cover materials, but
Wall receives no compensation for facil-
itating the program.
“We are incredibly blessed to have
Dallas as a part of our church,” said
the Rev. Scott Hatton, senior pastor at
First Evangelical. “He has a deep love
for God that shines through in all that
he does as a leader and as a servant
within the church. Last year Dallas par-
ticipated in our mission trip working
with children in Prague, Czech
Republic. God has given Dallas anenormous heart for serving people, and
he is always thinking of ways in which
we can better share the Good News of
Jesus Christ. I am absolutely delighted
to have Dallas and Barb as a part of
our church. They are God’s gift to us
and to the community.”
“It’s been the most important part of
my life,” Dallas said of his faith. “My
philosophy in life is to do what the
Lord tells me to do.” Studying the

Bible, being involved with other believ-
ers, and prayer helps you discern what
the Lord wants, Wall said.
Wall got involved in the church soon
after arriving in Fort Dodge.
“With my profession I was able to see a
lot of different churches in a short
amount of time, and we decided that
First Evangelical Free Church was the
church for us,” said Wall, funeral direc-
tor at Gunderson Funeral Home and
Cremation Services.
He serves on the church’s elder board.
“We oversee the spiritual growth of our
church and congregation.” Prospective
board members must be recommended
by a committee, “and the congregation
does vote on that individual to be on
the board.” There are about nine mem-
bers on the board including the pastors.
There are no term limits. “You serve as
long as you feel the Lord leading you.”
Wall became an elder because: “there is
a need and I feel I can contribute to the
spiritual growth of the church, and I
also feel the Lord has called me to that
position.”
About Dallas Wall:
A native of Mountain Lake in
southwestern Minnesota, Dallas
Wall, 51, attended Mid-America
College of Funeral Service in
Jeffersonville, Ind. He worked in
various funeral homes in Des
Moines and Fairmont, Minn.,
before coming to Fort Dodge in
1989 to become funeral director
at Gunderson Funeral Home and
Cremation Services. His wife of
30 years, Barb, is a native of
Stuart. “For many years we would
meet her parents up here in Fort
Dodge, never thinking that some-
day we would be moving to Fort
Dodge,” he said.
They have two sons: Grant works
in the media relations department
of Winona State University;
Jordon served in the Army in Iraq
and recently returned from
Afghanistan. He now attends
Iowa State University.

K-laser Therapy doesn’t cover up the problem, it stimulates and accelerates HEALING... • Accelerated Tissue Repair & Cell Growth - The K-Laser penetrates
deeply into the tissue and increases the energy available to the cell. This allows it to take on nutrients faster and get rid of waste products. This helps tissues repair faster.
• Faster Wound Healing - Laser therapy stimulates the production of collagen, which allows your tissues to repair.
• Reduced Fibrous Tissue Formation - Laser Therapy helps reduce the formation of scar tissue and can allow for old scar tissue to become more organized, mobile and lead to better function of joints and muscles.
• Anti-Inflammatory - (without upsetting your liver, kidneys and digestive system) Laser therapy increases the diameter of blood vessels and allows for lymphatic drainage. These effects together help reduce swelling and inflammation which causes pain!
• Analgesic (pain relieving) - Laser therapy helps produce pain-killing neurochemicals as it blocks pain signals from the nerves.
• Improved Vascular Activity- Laser therapy increases the formation of capillaries in damaged tissues, speeding up healing.
• Trigger Points and Acupuncture Points- Laser therapy helps reduce trigger points and stimulates acupuncture points.
• Improved Nerve Function - Slow recovery of nerve functions in damaged tissue can result in numbness and impaired limbs. Laser light will speed up the process of nerve cell reconnection and increase the am plitude of action potentials to optimize muscle action.
• Increased Metabolic Activity - Laser therapy creates high outputs of specific enzymes, greater oxygen and food particle loads for blood cells.

Seasons are changing, fall is here and
Thanksgiving is right around the
corner. That means families coming
together to give thanks and to feast on
their favorite holiday foods. Chef Kevin
Moore from The Cellar restaurant in
Fort Dodge talks about what he enjoys
cooking for the Thanksgiving holiday.
Moore says that he cooks for about
25-30 family and friends. His favorite
way to cook the turkey is smoking it,
and he starts the process the Tuesday
before Thanksgiving. It allows him time
to get other dishes done on that
Thursday in the kitchen with the oven
and still have a tasty, moist bird to eat
for the Thanksgiving feast.
Moore said the turkey is all about the
taste and flavor, and one of the best
types of turkey to cook is a fresh natural
bird. You can ask your butcher at the
local grocery store. Moore likes to
purchase his turkeys at Sawyer Meats
of Iowa Inc. in Fort Dodge. After
purchasing, you can start the process
of prepping the turkey for the big feast.

Cooking a turkey can pose a few major problems. Here
are some points to remember when cooking the turkey
in order to make it a little easier and more enjoyable:
–The breast is thick and take longer to cook than the
rest of the bird.
–The final temperature of the meat is crucial. The
breast must hit 165 degrees to be safe, and if it hits
170 degrees or more it may come dry and tough.
–Dark meat in the thighs has a bit more fat and flavor
than white, but if you try to add flavor by putting it on
the skin, it doesn’t penetrate down into the meat.
–The skin is tasty and crispy when brown, rubbery when
it is not brown and can burn easily.
–The wings and drumsticks burn easily.
–Do not tent the bird with foil when you are done cook-
ing because the steam under the foil just softens the skin.
–Do not use a "self-basted," "enhanced" or "kosher."
Turkey should be cooked by the osmosis method.
Thanksgiving day is known for the flavorable turkey, it's
what brings family and friends together around the
table. Here are some tips to remember when cooking a
turkey:
–To amplify flavor and add moisture soak the bird in a
flavorable brine about 10-15 percent solution in a
5 gallon bucket.
–Use aromatics in the cavity instead of stuffing.
–Rub oil and aromatic herbs under the skin that will
baste and flavor the meat and skin.

Fort Dodge Today � November 2011 � 35
–Oil and herb the outside of skin for
crispiness.
–Do not truss or tie the bird or cook it
breast side down.
–Use a digital probe to monitor the
bird's temperature to make sure it is not
overcooked.
–Place the bird above a roasting pan so
convention air can flow all around it
and it can cook/brown properly on the
bottom.
–Roast the bird in a humid, aromatic,
smoky atmosphere to hold in moisture
and add to the flavor.
–Remove the bird from the heat at 165
degrees instead of 170 degrees, it will
still be safe and savory to eat.
–When carving the turkey, slice
the breast across the grain so it is
more tender.
Moore's favorite side to serve with the
turkey is a rosemary champagne sauce.
To make the sauce, you will need 3
cups of either chicken broth or ren-
dered turkey bones. You boil these with
the wings, carrots, celery and onions for
1 1/2 hours. Then you will need to
strain the liquid in order to have at least
1/2 gallon to make 3 cups of reduction.
You add in 2 cups of heavy cream,
4 sprigs of rosemary, a little sea salt,
dash of ground pepper and 1/2 cup
of champagne.
What a delicious and creative way to
top off your turkey at Thanksgiving!
Add some side dishes of sweet potatoes,
green bean casserole, stuffing and
pumpkin pie for desert, and you will
have a wonderful feast to share with
family and friends on the Thanksgiving
holiday.

The holidays: a time for good food,
fun with family and friends and, of
course, presents.
The holidays: a time for cooking,
cleaning, entertaining demanding
relatives and, of course, spending
money.
No matter how closely one’s holiday
traditions resemble a Norman
Rockwell painting, the season can
easily increase stress levels.
People can take several steps to miti-
gate their stress, said Dr. Timi
Jordison, a Fort Dodge psychologist.
“Make sure to take care of yourself
both physically and emotionally,” she
said.
During the holiday season, patterns
of everyday activities – eating, sleep-
ing and the like – are often disrupt-
ed.
This can increase one’s sensitivity to
stress, Jordison said.
“Get exercise if you can,” she said.
“Often, that’s a good stress reliever
... Take time to do whatever relaxes
you.”
Finding time to do ‘normal’ things
during the holidays can also be help-
ful, she said.
“Stay connected with people on a
daily basis,” she said. “You can keep

connected with
everyday life.”
The happy tid-
ings of the sea-
son can be diffi-
cult to bear if a
person is already
unhappy.
“One of the
things to remem-
ber is that the holidays are not a happy
time for everybody,” Jordison said.
For some people, unhappiness is the
result of loss. “A big elephant in the
room for some families is if they’ve
recently lost someone,” Jordison said.
“A holiday gathering might be the first
time people have seen each other since
it happened.”
Death of a loved one can be particular-
ly hard to bear as the rest of the world,
or so it seems, is busy making merry.
Jordison advises families to remember
the good times and try to concentrate
on their happy memories of the
departed.
Another common source of holiday
unhappiness are unrealistic expectations.
Even if every Christmas cookie is not
picture-perfect, the season does not
have to be spoiled, according to
Jordison.
“It’s important to have realistic expecta-
tions,” she said.
One thing Jordison emphasizes is
“mindfulness”: recognizing what one’s
feelings are at any given moment,
examining them and realizing that they
can change.
Jordison advises people to spend their
holidays with people they care about,
even if they are not relatives.
“People see holidays as a family time,
but ‘family’ could mean a group of
close friends,” she said.

ask What is CU and what do photos have to do with health?
CU is The Messenger’s photo sharing website. On the site (http://cu.messengernews.net) you can find photos taken by Messenger staff as well as photos taken by readers! The photos in
the “Scene about Town” section of this magazine can be found on CU. The site has 2 sections “we CU,” which has photos taken by staff of high school athletics and community happenings, and “you CU” which has photos that readers have taken and uploaded just to share.
Anyone can get on CU and look at the photos. On CU all photos can be shared through email, facebook and other social networks. So if there is a great shot of you or one of your kids making the winning basketball shot you can post it for everyone to see! Only photos taken by Messenger staff are available for purchase. You can get re-prints, t-shirts, mugs and more!

health? I came up with a number of different answers to this … on CU we often capture people doing healthy athletic activities, from school sports to local races and triathlons, a co-worker suggested looking at photos on CU as something to keep you busy while you are home sick but the answer I like best is this – photography captures moments and can jog memories and give you an uplifting feeling. Photos can be a good way for children to learn about family members they do not often see or for Alzheimer’s patients to help them remember their loved ones. I recently read that the act of taking photos (specifically nature photos) is shown to be effective in treating anxiety. Photos can comfort you and calm you or can be silly and make you laugh. Like they say, laughter is the best medicine!

Real Deals offers tips on holiday
decorating.
Haul out the holly, put up the tree and
so forth.
As the holidays approach, festive
festoonery will make its way from
closets and attics to the front lines of
home decor.
For Shawn Portz, Janelle Hotz and BethPlautz, co-owners of Real Deals onHome Decor, 329 Central Ave., a newholiday tradition has begun.
The three opened the store in Augustand have stocked their displays with awide array of decorations.
Decorations offered at the
store will fall under several
themes, including:
• Dickens; Charles
Dickens/vintage caroling
color scheme. This includes
ribbon, organza and various
ornaments in brown, choco-
late, champagne, taupe, plat-
inum, sage green, burgundy
and antique red.
• Traditional red and green
(Whimsical): Organza, rib-
bon and ornaments, with red
and green elves. The domi-
nant colors are red, green
and white.
• Traditional snowman: A
rustic theme that includes
plush snowmen,
ornaments, lanterns, ribbons and
accessories.
• Rustic/Woodsy:
Owls, burlap
sleds, lanterns,
rusty bells, red
bells, lodge items
and rustic elves.
• Cowboy:
Cowboy hat and
boot
ornaments,
cowboy snowman
and Santas and other western items.
• Primitive snowman: Tea-stained look
with twigs, plush and ornaments.
• Gingerbread: Plush gingerbread
kitchen-themed items.
“We’ll be rotating in new items
throughout the season,” said Portz.
As items within one theme are sold, ne
items will be brought out to the display

floor, meaning Real Deals’ inventory
will evolve right up through Christmas,
Portz said.
Pieces within each theme are designed
to compliment each other, she said.
Items range from low-tech ribbons to
battery-operated light-up decorations.
Many items go beyond the traditional
red and green Christmas colors to
incorporate a wider palate.
For many families, a collection of
Christmas decorations is acquired over
years and decades.
However, for those who are just startingout, there are ways to “fill in the gaps,”so to speak, said Portz.
These include put-ting plush items ona Christmas tree.
“Some people don’tthink to do that,”she said.
Real Deals offersseveral Christmasplush decorations,including ginger-bread and snowpeople.
Ribbon and fabriccan also be strategi-cally placed to “tietogether” a tree,Portz said.
“Floral pieces canhelp fill a tree up,”she said.
Plush elves make Christmas tree decorations that fill agood deal of space, said Shawn Portz, co-owner ofReal Deals on Home Decor.
Winter figurines are available for purchase at Real Deals on Home Decor.
Tips for a Fabulous
Christmas Tree
Shawn Portz, Janelle Hotz and Beth
Plautz, co-owners of Real Deals on
Home Decor, offer the following
suggestions for Christmas
tree decoration.
Use clusters of organza fabric,
organza ribbon, netting and regular
ribbon to fill your trees and make
them look full and beautiful.
Cut the organza sheets into strips no
longer than 1 yard and no wider
than 1 1/2 feet. Gather the strip of
fabric together to make a loop and
secure the end with wire. Place the
cluster of fabric into the tree and
attach to the tree branch with the
wire. Cut netting or ribbon into
1-yard lengths and then fold it back
and forth across the long length to
create loops on the ends and a fuller
look. Wrap floral wire around the
middle to secure the cluster of
ribbon. Then insert and secure it
into your tree.

People will always have struggles in their lives.
Illness, death, suicide, tragic accidents, job
losses, rejection, insecurity, disappointments
and unfair circumstances are just a few that
people deal with in everyday life. What
makes a person stronger is learning how to
cope with struggles and difficulites in life
and grow from that situation. That is what
Susan Rustvold– a former resident of
Fort Dodge– did.
Rustvold worked for the Fort Dodge Animal
Health, a pharmaceutical/veterinary
company, for 19 years as the director of
creative services. She had to relocate to
Kansas in 1995 for her position, which she
lost in 2010 due to a corporate buyout.
Susan has been unemployed ever since. But,
she says now, looking back there are no
regrets. However, it was a difficult path
to face.

“Things were looking frightening. And
then I attended a sermon for the unem-
ployed where I met a man who had
been laid off like me. Only it happened
to him four times in the previous four
years. And how had he responded? He
was leading a prayer and support group
for other unemployed people at church.
My eyes were opened.”
Sitting at the sermon listening to the
stories of people who where much
worse shape than Susan, she had to
do something, she felt that this was
happening for a reason.
“Maybe I wasn't in class to help myself,
but I was there to encourage and to
inspire and to help others around me.”
Rustvold started encouraging others
with her years of design and production
making spiritual/inspirational cards
and gifts.
“It started with just one card, with
doing the one thing I knew I could do
to help others in this group. By the end
of the class, the instructor was trying to
convince me I had a gift, and I should
consider selling the items I was creating
in a store.”
The brand 4 His Glory! was produced
to help encourage love, support and
kindness to people going through diffi-
cult trials in their life. The small
Internet-based company has been
growing over the past 19 months and
has made it back into a local retail
shop in Fort Dodge. Tea Thyme has
opened up a retail shop called Thyme
to Shop, where 4 His Glory! spiritual
and inspirational cards and gifts are
being sold.
“I just love her company name, 4 His
Glory,” said Tea Thyme owner Debbie
Lacina. “I think it's a one-of-a-kind line
of cards. I've never seen anything like
it. Susan's work is very professional,
beautifully done, and spiritual.”

“My story isn't totally written, but my hope is that I am now on
his path,” said Rustvold, feeling this is the plan that was meant
for her. It is her favorite passage from Jeremiah 29:11: “For I
know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to propser
you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
4 His Glory continued from page 43.

Fort Dodge Today � November 2011 � 45
These days, you can purchase just
about anything you want on the
Internet. However, you can still benefit
from a human, face-to-face experience
for some purchases — such as your
investments. And that’s why you may
want to work with a financial profes-
sional.
Unlike a computer interface, a financial
professional will take the time to truly
know your situation today — and then
help you make adjustments tomorrow.
Let’s first look at two key areas a finan-
cial professional will consider today:
* Your risk tolerance — By asking
the right questions, a financial profes-
sional can help you determine if you’re
a moderate, conservative or aggressive
investor and then recommend those
investments that are suitable for your
risk tolerance.
* Your time horizon — If you’re sav-
ing for a down payment on a new home
you expect to purchase within two or
three years, you may want an invest-
ment that offers significant preservation
of principal. But if you’re saving for
retirement, and you’re three decades
away from it, you’ll likely need invest-
ments that offer the potential for
growth. Your financial advisor can help
you choose the mix of short- and long-
term investments that can help you
make progress toward all your goals.
Now, let’s look at the types of mile-
stones that a financial professional can
help you with as your life progresses:
* New child — When you bring a
new child into your life, you also add
new responsibilities. Do you have suffi-
cient life insurance? Do you plan on
helping the child pay for college? If so,
what college funding vehicles should
you consider? A financial professional
can help you answer these questions.
* New spouse — Whether you’re
getting married for the first time, or
you’re remarrying, you’ll have to recon-
cile your financial picture with that of
your new spouse. A financial profession-
al can review both your situations and
possibly recommend ways for you to
reduce debt, eliminate redundancies in
your investment portfolios and consoli-
date insurance coverage.
* Career change — When you
change jobs, you may have to make
many investment-related decisions:
Should you move the assets from your
old employer’s 401(k) to an IRA? Or
should you roll over your old 401(k) to
your new employer’s plan, if a rollover
is allowed? Knowing your options when
you leave your job can help you make
the right choice for your retirement sav-
ings. A qualified financial professional
can help you review and understand
your rollover options.
* Retirement — Once you retire,
you’ll have several issues to consider:
How much can you withdraw from
your investments each year? From
which accounts? Should you rebalance
your portfolio to provide more potential
sources of income? What about the
transfer of your wealth? A financial
professional who is familiar with your
situation can help you make the right
moves to enjoy the retirement lifestyle
you’ve envisioned.
