I remember buying my first car like it was yesterday. It was 1986, and I was hoping to find a used Monte Carlo, Cutlass or Camaro. But my $2,000 budget didn’t allow me to buy much, even back then. So as I

perused the local newspaper’s classified listings, I found a 1980 Ford Mustang for sale. It was a 4 cylinder hatchback with 60,000 miles — baby blue in color and missing a hub cap. I bought it for $2,200. Soon after, an unfortunate inci-dent proved to be the beginning of the end for the Mustang. When a gas line on the Mustang cracked, I thought I could make the fix. In completing the repair, gas leaked down through the engine. My next trip was to the car wash, and my mother happened to go with me. While I was inserting coins in the machine, she attempted to pull the car into the bay. As she started

the engine, flames shot out from underneath. Within seconds, the baby blue paint on the hood was bubbling. Car wash wand in hand, I yelled to Mom, “Pop the hood!” She pushed and pulled every button and knob in the vehicle — except the hood release. With flames piercing through every crevice on the car, I hurriedly reached in to release the hood and give it a quick spray. In a few seconds, the aftermath of melted wires was revealed. A local mechanic patched things together, and I had the hood repainted. The Mustang crept along for a few more years until I traded it in. Dad said I should have let it burn. He was right. In this month’s cover story, we share stories of local residents who tell of their experiences, memories and love for their first set of wheels — without the flames. Thanks for reading.

Y ou never forget your first set of wheels — how it felt to sit in the driver’s seat, no longer

needing a parent or an older sibling to take you where you wanted to go. It felt good. It felt right. It felt like freedom. We asked four Bondurant men, ages 20- 93, to tell us about their first wheels: a Camaro, a Mustang, a Model A and a Chevy.

The Camaro When Dr. Scott Curry, local vet-erinarian, was 15, he withdrew $800 from the bank and traveled to north-west Iowa with his dad and grandpa to purchase the car of his dreams — a used 1968 silver Camaro. “I was in love when I saw that car,” states Curry. “It had a 327 engine, four on the floor, headers. It was set up to be kind of a muscle car. It had a four barrel carburetor and a positraction rear end.” With only a learner’s permit in his billfold, Curry’s grandpa joined him for the ride back to Brooklyn-Guernsey-Malcom. Cruising down the interstate, a station wagon with kids in the far back pulled alongside Curry. “I’ll never forget this,” Curry says and laughs. “One of the kids was making a signal like he was smoking. I’m thinking he likes my car. And the other kid was doing a circular finger motion in the air like

‘Woo-wee,’ and I’m thinking he likes my car.” Curry felt on top of the world and then... a state trooper passed him and flipped on his lights. That’s when Curry realized the kids weren’t impressed with his Camaro but were trying to warn him about the state trooper. Nervously, Curry pulled to the side of the road, as did the trooper and the car in front of the officer. The trooper stepped from his vehicle, took two steps toward Curry and scowled. “He motioned for me to leave, but unbeknownst to me, the car doesn’t go into reverse very well,” Curry continues. “So, I’m sitting there grinding the gears and waiting for the trooper to get mad at me. I was as nervous as can be.” After an unforgettable ride home, Curry continued to make memories with the sporty Camaro. He drove it back and forth to high school. On the weekends, he cruised the streets of his hometown. When it came time to leave for college, he bought a more dependable car. “Two or three years after I traded it, I saw the Camaro in a local town,” says Curry. “The stripes were very distinctive, so I knew it was mine. It was up on blocks, the windshield was broken, and the backend was rusted almost

completely out. It was neat to see it again, but sad to see it in that condition.” Last March, Curry and his wife, Colleen, rented a 2011 silver Camaro convertible on vacation. It wasn’t quite the same but still was a nice ride down memory lane.

The MustangIt’s safe to say that Josh Mosher, 20, loves his car and doesn’t plan to part ways with her any time soon. When he first got the 2005 Ford Mustang, he asked his friends to help him name the car. Sasha won the poll. “I baby her,” Josh states. “She’s spoiled rotten. If she was a person, she’d be that little spoiled rotten girl that everybody hates. That would be my car.” At 14, Josh told his parents he wanted a Mustang. His parents told him to save his money. He’s held several jobs — pollinating corn at Monsanto, selling pumpkins and run-ning a cash register at Geisler Farms, working in the new car wash bay at Karl Chevrolet. He is currently employed at Gilcrest Jewett. At 16, Josh went car hunting and spot-ted the pretty yellow Mustang. He didn’t buy the car, but he didn’t forget about it, either. One night he attended a church event in Des Moines. When his parents arrived to pick him up, they asked if he wanted another look at the Mustang. They arrived at the car dealer-ship, and much to Josh’s surprise, his parents had already purchased the car. His goal is to pay them back by the time he finishes col-lege. He currently attends Des Moines Area Community College full time.

The Model AOrdie White, 93, smiles as he remembers his first wheels, a 1930 Model A. He bought the two-door sedan at a farmer’s closing sale near Runnells in 1939. “My dad had given me a patch of ground and three acres of corn,” White says. “I took a load of corn to town and got a check for $100. I deposited $95 in the bank and kept $5 for gas. The car cost $100. There went my gas money.” White felt he got a good deal on the car. He explained that most people couldn’t afford to buy a vehicle in the 1930s, especially at age 17 . “Back in those times, honey, a dollar was like five dollars,” he states. “That car made me feel proud.” White courted Helen Whitmore, often driving her to Des Moines to catch a movie, followed by supper at the Dew Drop Inn. In 1941 they married. Following the ceremony, the couple hopped in the Model A to start their married life, but the car wouldn’t start. White laughs. “I knew someone would do something to the car,” he says. “That’s what we did back then. It was the couple who stood up with us, schoolmates. They took the coil wire off so it

wouldn’t start. We just climbed into their car and went to get something to eat.”

The ChevyBob Jansen states that his first set of wheels was actually his parent’s blue Plymouth, which

he drove whenever his parents could spare it. “We only had 10 kids in our graduating class at Kamrar, and only two or three of us had cars to drive, so the car was often full of kids,” he says. To earn enough money to buy his own vehicle, Jansen helped farm and worked at his cousin’s Phillips gas station in Blairsburg. When the time came to head to Webster City Junior College to become a math teach-er, he had enough money in the bank to pur-chase a 1963 black Chevy. Jansen played baseball at the junior college and later at Simpson College and recalls chauf-feuring his teammates to various games. He kept the Chevy until graduating from college. “It felt so good to own that car,” adds Jansen. “I didn’t have to wait for my folks to take me places. Like right now, I have to wait for someone to take me to do stuff because of my foot surgery. When you lose your free-dom to move, you don’t like it.” Though much has changed over the last 75 years, a few things remain the same when it comes to owning your first set of wheels. It’s still a big deal. It’s still a symbol of free-dom, and it’s still a giant step from childhood toward adulthood.

W hat about insurance? Glenn Waterhouse from State Farm Insurance offers the follow-

ing tips:

young drivers. Some companies offer dis-counts for good grades and for taking a safe driver course.

an older car with high miles and not much value, you can get on the road a lot less expensively when it comes to insurance. If you buy a nicer, newer first car with a loan or of higher value, you will most likely need full coverage. Insurance usually costs more for younger drivers.

tickets and accidents affect eligibility and rates. Driving is a privilege. Remember all those safety tips Mr. Zarr taught you in driver’s ed.

the contract you’re buying and what auto insurance is all about. It’s not too early to learn.

HEALTH

Q: What is an oral pathologist?A: An oral pathologist is a dentist who has gone on for further edu-cation and specializes in studying tissue from the mouth and teeth to diagnose disease and prescribe treatment. Oral pathology is one of numerous areas of specialty that some dentists choose to enter after com-pleting their basic dental education. An oral pathologist is also called an oral maxillofacial pathologist. When a general dentist comes across a condition in your mouth, he or she may choose to remove a piece of tissue — called taking a biopsy — and send it to an oral pathologist for examination. It is the job of the oral pathologist to determine if the tissue sample is cancerous or infectious. All dentists go through four years of dental school, earning either a Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) or Doctor of Dental Medicine (DDM). There is no difference in the degrees. Most dentists then go on for post-graduate training, either in a residency program at a hos-pital or in further education to become a dental specialist. Talk with your dentist about the various areas of specialty that are available to you if you need them.

Q: Does my baby need to have a chiropractic evaluation?A: Modern birthing procedures, even those with seemingly minimal inter-vention, are known to cause trauma and stress to the infant’s spine and cranium. The significance of birth trauma is often underestimated and, without a chiropractic evalu-ation, can go undetected. Undetected subluxations result in damage to the spine in the course of time and also manifest as symptoms in the body both immediately following birth and as the child grows and develops. Subluxation, or misalignment, of the spine interferes with the functioning of the body’s central nervous system preventing the body from expressing its full health potential. The body may or may not exhibit symp-toms as a result of subluxation, so it is essential all babies be evaluated by a board-certified pediatric chiropractor following birth. Breastfeeding difficulty is a common symptom seen in babies who pres-ent with spinal or cranial subluxations. Common indicators of difficulty are babies who cannot latch firmly, can latch but not sustain sucking, an inability to smoothly coordinate suckling, swallowing and breathing, feeding in only one position, dissatisfaction when nursing or remaining fussy and distressed throughout the day, chewing or damaging the mother’s nipples, not feeding better from other devices, having the need to suck 24/7 and difficulty gaining weight. Breastfeeding is by far the best choice for infant feeding based on extensive research from nutritional, immunological, digestive, neurological, developmental, mental, psychological and emotional experts, so assisting mothers in successfully breastfeeding is of great significance.

BANKING

B uilders, real estate profes-sionals and bankers will tell you that the current mar-

ket conditions have significantly improved in the Des Moines metro areas. Home building is ongoing, and in some sections of Polk County there is actu-ally a shortage of buildable lots to meet the renewed demand. While other pockets are still somewhat stagnant, it is nice to see property values across the board headed in a positive direc-tion. For the homebuyer, this means some new things to keep in mind when looking for a new home. First, unless you are pur-chasing a home at $450,000 or above, it is not quite the buyers’ market that it was. There are more individuals looking, thereby creating a stronger demand for real estate and values in general. Second, rates are still historically very low. This means that you may have more buying power than you might otherwise think. The third major leg of this stool is the growth factors and ame-nities that are now being built around these various homes. In many cases new conveniences and additions to school districts or other community projects are leading to thoughts regarding where people want to establish their residence. As you start out in the pro-

cess, having some background information regarding your borrowing ability, market pric-ing and what demand might be for a home you are selling are imperative in helping to create a better plan in purchasing your next home. We believe in a very structured approach by weighing options and buying power against your goals and family planning needs. Make sure to seek out expert advice in multiple areas from impartial advisors who have your goals and success in mind. We believe that a little extra time and effort in this process will help you feel secure in making one of life’s most important decision. As always, we remain committed to our clients and their legacy of success.

A s caregivers, we often use intuition to help us decide what to do. No

one ever gave us lessons on how to relate to someone with mem-ory loss. Unfortunately, dealing with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias is counter-intuitive. Often the right thing to do is exactly opposite that which seems like the right thing to do. Here is some practical advice. nal and logical will get you into trouble.

One of the hardest things to do is to remember that we are responding to a disease, not the person who once was. Everyone with dementia has times when he or she makes perfect sense and can respond appropriately. We are not imagining things, they are just having one of those moments, to be treasured when they occur.

As we enjoy this Independence Day, let us also celebrate our freedom. We are free to set goals, make choices and take steps to prepare for the future we want to live.

Happy Fourth of July

Call today to start taking steps toward yourfinancial independence.

I t’s almost the Fourth of July, the day when we celebrate our independence as a nation and

the many liberties we enjoy as individuals. Still, we have to keep working to earn some freedoms — such as financial freedom. Here are a few such moves to consider: Your first step in moving toward finan-cial independence is to establish a vision of what this freedom might look like. Ask yourself some key questions: When do I want to retire? What do I want to do during my retirement years? How can I be confident that I won’t outlive my financial resources? The answers can help you develop a clear picture of where you want to go. ment capabilities. Right now, you may have good investment opportunities that you are not fully exploiting. For example, are you contributing as much as you can afford to your IRA and your 401(k) or other employer-spon-sored plan? Both an IRA and a 401(k) offer tax advantages and a variety of investment options, so try to get as much out of these plans as you can. a non-diversified portfolio. If you only own a few types of investments, you are restricting your opportunities — and prob-ably taking on too much risk. If a downturn primarily affects just one or two asset classes, and most of your investment dollars are tied up in those assets, your portfolio could take a big hit. But if you “free up” your holdings by diversifying across a range of investments — stocks, bonds, government securi-ties, certificates of deposit and so on — you may give yourself more chances for success while reduc-

ing the effects of market volatility on your portfolio. (Keep in mind, though, that diversification can-not guarantee profits or prevent losses.) debt. It’s not always easy to lower your debt burden, but it’s worth the effort. The lower your month-ly debt payments, the more money you will have available to invest for the future — and for your ultimate financial freedom. and long-term care expens-es. Few events can threaten your financial independence as much as a disability or the need for long-term care, such as a nursing home stay. Even a short disability and time away from work can wreak havoc on your financial situation. And an extended stay in a nursing home can be hugely expensive. In fact, the national average for a private room in a nursing home is nearly $84,000 per year, according to a recent survey by Genworth, a financial security company. The Fourth of July is a festive occasion. But you’ll have even more reason to celebrate once you can declare your own financial independence.

STEEPED COMPOST TEAA do-it-yourself practice that improves and protects Iowa water and soil resources.1. Fill a clean 5 gallon bucket with water. If possible, use rainwater collected in a rain barrel. If using chlorinated city water, set the bucket of water outside in a sunny location for a short while for chlorine removal.2. Make a tea bag by filling mesh type material with 4 to 6 cups of compost. ** Materials that work well are old nylons, burlap, cheese cloth or small mesh laundry bags. Suspend homemade tea bag in water.3. Let it steep for 24 hours. To derive the most benefit, apply tea within 4 hours after the steep is complete.** Composting is a technique used to accelerate the natural decay process. The technique converts organic wastes to mulch which is used to fertilize and condition soil. Leaf waste decomposes naturally in about two years. Composting can take as long as a year or as little as 14 days, depending upon the amount of human control.

Josh and Michelle Finch bought one of the first houses in the development called The Cove.

Would you like your home featured in this column in an upcom-ing issue of Bondurant Living? If so, email Darren Tromblay at [email protected].

B ondurant’s motto, “On the Move,” is the perfect repre-sentation of the community.

Recent years have seen the city expanding in every direction. To the east, Bondurant has grown with the housing development of The Cove. One of the first houses built along 15th Street S.E. in The Cove was quickly purchased by Josh and Michelle Finch in 2008. Originally from Altoona, the couple chose Bondurant for sev-eral reasons after looking in both Pleasant Hill and Altoona. “It’s just a convenient location” says Michelle “Altoona had a lot of great new homes, but they were above our price range. Plus, this is a quieter neighborhood. When we first moved in, it was just our house and the neighbor’s house on this end of the development. We bought this with the idea that we can grow in to it.” Once settled in, Josh and Michelle began the process of adding their own personalities to the home. The first noticeable additions are the vibrant orange walls of the living room, reflecting Michelle’s love for Halloween. “That color took five coats. And I told her ‘I’m not painting it

again,’ ” says Josh. Matching the orange walls and Michelle’s love for Halloween is their black cat, Vader. The couple encountered a cha-otic event in their first year of being homeowners. “The first year we noticed some birds had nested in the out-side dryer vent. One of the birds got all the way through the vent to where it connects to the dryer” says Josh. “At first we didn’t know what it was. We thought it might have been a bat. We ended up catching it in a grocery sack by moving the dryer.” Both agree on their favorite part of the house: the living room. “The living room, because it’s the most open room in the house but it also feels cozy” says Josh “We spend a lot of our time in the living room.” Josh and Michelle are looking to the future, and Bondurant is in their plans. “We see ourselves here for years and years” says Michelle. “We want to finish the basement. We’ll probably have an entertain-ment room along with some other rooms. We’d love to have an acre-age or land, but that is down the road.”

E very one of us can think of a person who is so disciplined and routine it makes them

sick. They wake up to do their workout every single day at 5 a.m. They have six meals a day, every single day. They spend an hour reading a self-help book every single evening before bed. That person has a set of things they do every day. To some it may seem boring and too structured. However, the result of all that discipline is usually massive success in whatever that person is doing. Why is this so? Why is it that the dedicated person succeeds and the flaky person fails? One of my favorite authors, Eric Thomas, has a great piece where he talks about principles vs feelings. He says “At the end of your feelings is nothing. But at the end of principles is a promise.” Let’s think about that. When it comes to my clients I hear the word “feel” a lot. “I don’t feel like working out today.” “I don’t feel like running today.” “I feel like I need to rest for a minute.” Now I’m not calling anyone a liar, because I’m sure he or she does truly feel that way. But it doesn’t mean he or she has to react to those feeling. Will listening to those feelings get you closer to your goal? Now, look at the second half of that statement; at the end of principles is a promise. A high school track athlete makes a goal to get a scholarship. He wakes up at 4 a.m. every single day, not because he feels like it, but because it is one of his guid-

ing principles toward achieving his goal. He chooses not to go out and party with friends because he knows that his principles say go to bed early and train hard tomor-row. As long as that kid sticks to his principles, he will more than likely reach the promise of getting a scholarship. The battle of feelings vs prin-ciples is all around us. Marriage, your career and disciplining your kids all follow the principles vs. feelings method. When it comes to workouts, do you follow feel-ings or principles? I will finish with a quote by Alan Ashley-Pitt which reads, “The man who follows the crowd will usually get no further than the crowd. The man who walks alone is likely to find himself in places no one has ever been.” Combine Eric Thomas’ quote with that one and it reads, “The man who follows his feelings will usually get no further than his feelings. The man who follows principles is likely to find himself in places no one has ever been.”

FITNESS

Information provided by Matt Sillanpaa, Brick House Fitness, 116 Brick St., Bondurant.

I graduated with my bachelors degree in health promotion and fitness management from Grand View University. While I was there I ran strength and conditioning programs for many of the athletic teams.

As I transitioned in to the mainstream fitness industry I kept many of my athletic coaching philosophies and incorporated them into my large group training. My workouts are very user-friendly and promote team-building. I am passionate about my clients and my programs, but I like to keep the class light-hearted and enjoyable. We have a lot of fun and get great results!

In high school and college I was exposed to a variety of speed & agility, strength & conditioning, and power workouts by a dozen different coaches and trainers...(I fell for the last one and married him)

I coached many club basketball teams until I graduated from Buena Vista University in 2008. I received my coaching certificate from Drake University and started on the volleyball coaching staff at Dowling High School. My personal training education is through the ACSM which is right in line with my Athletic training style. My group personal training classes are focused on team work and reaching set goals.

Y ou may not know how to retire, but that’s not sur-prising. You’ve never done

it before. Although many things change in your lifestyle when you retire, one thing remains constant — you still need income. Where will the money come from?

Social SecurityGovernment programs, like Social Security, provide regular income for as long as you live. However, Social Security simply creates a base income and was never designed to be your sole retirement income source. Economists predict that in the not-too-distant future, there will be more Social Security ben-efit recipients than contributors to support the system. Most likely, you’ll receive some money from this government program, but benefit amounts and requirements change

frequently. This is why it is so crucial for you to take responsibility now for your own financial independence tomorrow. According to the Employee Benefits Research Institute’s 2009 Retirement Confidence Survey, 53 percent of workers in the U.S. have less than $25,000 in total savings and investments. The typical American household (headed by a 43-year-old) has just over $18,000 in savings. Your financial independence later depends on your actions now. You must consider every-thing — Social Security, pensions, annuities, life insurance and invest-ments. A careful analysis of these and other areas can help you deter-mine whether you have adequate reserves to retire comfortably.

Employer-sponsored retirement plans

Employer-sponsored retirement plans are a good source of income. If you’ve moved or changed jobs, there may be confusion about how much you’ll actually receive. The benefit booklet provided by your employer should tell you what requirements must be met, and what benefits you can expect. Don’t forget to keep in touch with former employers. You may be eligible to receive benefits; however, they can’t pay you if they can’t find you.

Personal savings and investmentsPersonal savings and investments such as annuities, stocks, certificates of deposit, life insurance policies, savings bonds, mutual funds, money market accounts, real estate and personal property often define the difference between financial hard-ship and financial comfort in your

retirement years. A financial profes-sional can provide the education to help you make decisions about how to handle your assets and invest-ments before and after you reach retirement age.

T he Bondurant Community Library is celebrating five years in its new, larger facil-

ity with an open house reception this summer. “The library is such a great resource for Bondurant,” says Robin McNichols, chair of the Bondurant Community Library Foundation Board which is host-ing the event. “Moving into a new, larger facility five years ago was significant for our growing com-munity. We wanted to celebrate this milestone with the community which has been so supportive,” The library provides an expanding collection of books, periodicals, audio books and music. The popular summer read-ing program features guest speak-ers and activities to engage kids in reading and learning. “Keeping current with the way people read, learn and access information today is important,” says Jill Sanders, library director. “We continue to see interest and dramatic increases in the check-out of e-books, use of the special computer learning tools in the children’s area and attendance for adult programs.” Bondurant’s first library opened in 1976. It was originally located in a very small brick build-ing in the downtown area and moved a half block north of that location the following year. With a growing community and ever-increasing usage, a larger footprint was needed. The new library facil-ity was built at the current loca-tion late in 2008 and is more than three times larger than the previ-ous one. The current library has a large, dedicated children’s area.

The library collection consists of 19,671 books for all ages, 66 periodical subscriptions, 865 audio materials, 1,361 videos and 10 computer software applications, including a full Microsoft suite. E-books are available through the library’s website and WILBOR, with more than 21,635 titles avail-able for eBooks and downloadable audio. There are 10 computers available for use and six iPads (available for in-house use), two dedicated children’s computers loading with educational games, two study rooms, comfortable seating and a community room that serves as a meeting place for many of the community organiza-tions and a place for expanded adult programs and children’s activities.

The community is invited to the open house celebration on Saturday, Aug. 2 from 2-4 p.m. in the community room at the library. The celebration is open to all and will include birthday cake, library tours, games and activities. Join the library staff, library board of trustees and the library foundation in celebrating a great five years and many more to come.

Tasty salad is quick and easy to fix

By Jan Allen

S ummer is here, and summer means grilling. We have discov-ered a flavorful dish that a friend introduced to us last sum-mer that is a wonderful compliment to a grilled meal, or any

meal for that matter. I am a salad girl. I’ve always loved salad with greens and other fresh vegetables tossed with dressing. Salad is good, but this salad recipe is unique, delicious and quick. Romaine is a hearty green that lends itself well to grilling — it wilts, yet has some crispy edges that create a warm, tasty treat. The best news is that it is easy and quick. You don’t have to spend a lot of prep time or cooking time, as it’s done from package to plate in about 10 minutes. It is a perfect dish to fix when entertaining or when you get home from work and need a quick side to go along with the main course. This recipe calls for blue cheese dressing. My husband and I didn’t know we liked blue cheese until we ate this salad at our friend’s home. We discovered we love it. If you absolutely don’t care for blue cheese, you can use ranch or any other creamy style dressing with your choice of cheese. Try this next time you fire up the grill. Who knew something this fast and easy could be this good? It takes just a few minutes and is an easy and delicious addition to your grilling repertoire.

A s the Fourth of July approaches, American flags appear everywhere,

giving us a sense of freedom, grati-tude, and pride. We live in a nation like no other, where we are free to live, free to explore oppor-tunities, and free to worship the Lord — the very foundation of our country’s inception. We live in a land where the Pledge of Allegiance declares “One Nation Under God” and where our money states “In God We Trust.” We live in a country where faith in God and the truth of his word are sacred and essential (even when we forget) and where it is not illegal to worship God, carry a Bible, or pray in a public resta urant. At the same time, we live in a world where opposition to God, faith and spiritual freedom abounds. Some would like to reject the Lord’s influence in our country and omit the mention of God altogether, from every gov-ernment institution, public school, and community square. But how can anyone think that our govern-ment, schools and communities can prosper apart from God? They can’t. Our families, homes, mar-riages, neighborhoods and church-es need the hand of God as well. As the Lord said, “If a man remains in me and I in him he will bear much fruit. Apart from me you can do nothing.” John 15:5 Our country’s history has proven that when we put our faith and trust in the Lord God Almighty and revere his name above all, he pours down his bless-ing of prosperity and grace. We have tasted the fruit of God’s goodness and pleasure upon our land. As Americans, may we stand strong with the Lord and return

our country to the faith and truth that made this nation thrive. The scripture proclaims, “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14 Today, we, as believers, have the incredible opportunity to influ-ence our country and institutions, with Jesus Christ as the chief cornerstone. “Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.” Psalm 127:1 In America, we still hold the freedom to follow and worship God, regardless of what others choose. We can invite God to bless and prosper our homes, churches, schools, businesses, gov-ernment and country and use us to make a real difference in the lives of others. No one can stop us from revering the name of the Lord or keep us from walking in the truth of God’s word. And because we live in one nation under God, we can continue to experience the blessings of the Lord in our lives and in our land. Let us stand strong in the faith and God bless America.

Families with young children have a need for life insurance, but other reasons for having life insur-ance include taking care of costs associated with your death, such as funeral expenses or outstanding debts. Life insurance proceeds can also provide income for a spouse or financial support for family mem-bers.

need life insurance. There are several good reasons to buy life insurance for children. It guaran-tees insurability and, in some cases, provides opportunities to purchase additional coverage in the future. Premiums are also generally lower. Your Farm Bureau life insurance policy may offer a children’s term rider, which provides term life insurance for each qualifying child, age 7 days to 23 years.

ance can’t be converted to permanent life insurance. Some term policies are renewable up to a certain age, but the cost of renew-ing or purchasing term coverage increases as you age or experience health problems. Most term policies allow you to convert coverage to a permanent policy after a certain time period, and often without addi-tional health assessment.

C aitie Graham had her "aha" moment in high school while she was

tutoring a fifth grade boy; she wanted to become a teacher. She tutored on and off for eight years, received her undergrad and master’s from University of Missouri, substituted and taught for a few years before ending up in Bondurant. This is her first year in the Bondurant school district. She teaches third grade at Anderson Elementary. Graham is a hands-on teach-er. She believes it is important to teach her students "real world stuff." She offers her class a "Classroom Community Bank." Students can earn "Graham Bucks" to purchase items, such as candy, or they can even have lunch with the teacher. A few students put their money togeth-er to purchase lunch for the whole class. They learn how to fill out order forms as well as deposit slips. "I think it's important to show the kids to enjoy what they're doing," Graham says. She teaches her students how to learn the concept, and not just memorize it. "Grades are never final; they are just where they are," she

says. She says it's so rewarding when her students finally get something, and they smile. Graham's does everything in class from a farmers market to speeches to writing and a how-to demo. When her students work hard, she offers brain breaks to break up the monotony of the day. This may include a song or a YouTube clip. "Bondurant is really support-ive," she says. "The third grade team is amazing, and the parents are really supportive as well." Graham says that communication is key with the parents. When asked what kids should be doing over the summer, Graham says, "It's important kids are practicing their math, reading, getting plenty of Vitamin D, and just be a kid."

A s I drive out into the beautiful countryside of Bondurant, the view is so

peaceful to where you could easily lose track of time. I pull into the driveway of Glenn and Marilyn Waterhouse; there sit four classic cars all lined up ranging from 1935 to 1991. My first thought was, "This is a true, proud car guy." Glenn owns a 1964 Chevy Impala, 1935 Dodge Coupe, 1991 Chevy Corvette and a 1957 Chevy Bel Air. His dad bought the Impala brand new. "It sat in a field for 15 years," Glenn says. He got the car in 1989 after his son didn't want it, and had it fully restored by fall of 1990. He painted the car its original bur-gundy color, and put new wheels and tires on it. This car is very dear to Glenn's heart and is a great memento of his late father. He bought the 1935 Dodge in 1966 and put about $1,500 into it before selling it in 1974. He later saw it at the Goodguys Car Show, and his wife told him he needed to get that car back. The owner wanted $30,000. Glenn debated on it, and eventually bought the car back two years later for $25,000. He added air conditioning and has put about 4,000-5,000 miles on it since he's owned it. Glenn bought the 1991 white Corvette brand new. He thought

this was the best way to spend his inheritance, and honor his dad after he passed away earlier that year. It has about 55,000 miles on it. "I won't sell this one, or the Impala — they will stay in the fam-ily," he says. We walk over to the Tropical Turquoise 1957 Chevy Bel Air. I walked around the car and read "MY57DRM" on the license plate. Glenn popped the trunk to show me a black and white picture of him in 1961 with his first 1957 Chevy Bel Air. He bought it for $1,553. He had been searching for that car ever since. He found a black hard top one at the Goodguys Car Show. He proceeded to show me the photo album of the process to have it redone. "I put a lot of money into this car," he says. The car was dented, but luck-ily not rusted. The interior is all stock, while the tilt wheel and gauges are not. He popped the hood so I could see the all-chrome engine. He had shiny steel installed on the top of the hood so it can reflect the engine for a full viewing. "I'm a keeper guy," he says. "I guess my wife is, too; she's kept me." Glenn loves his cars, but the one thing he loves more than that is his family.

W hat a night Celebrate Bondurant was. I would like to thank all of you

who came out for a great evening of music, food and fellowship. Also, a huge thank you to our spon-sors: Prairie Meadows, The Iowa Clinic, Bondurant Auto Body, Great Western Bank, Founders Irish Pub, Bankers Trust, Brick Street Market & Cafe, Chiropractic Associates - Rocky Reeves, Edward Jones Investments - Adam Kline, Hy-Vee, and Representative Joe Riding - House District 30. I hope to see a great turnout at the PetockaThon games com-ing up on Aug. 1 at 2 p.m. in the afternoon. This is a great way to get together for an afternoon of fun, games and camaraderie with friends and coworkers. Watch for more information coming out, along with signup details. For those reading this article; have you ever thought about joining the Bondurant Chamber? Individual members are welcomed the same as businesses of any size. The primary goal of the Chamber is to put in place opportunities for businesses to be in front of their customers or cli-ents. For individual members, it is a great way to stay connected to what is going on in the community and help promote the community as a whole. Following is an excerpt from an article that was published by the Greater Des Moines Partnership. It is widely assumed that we all have very busy schedules but according to a research study by The Shapiro Group, Inc. and Market Street Services, when consumers know that a small business is a mem-ber of their local chamber of com-merce, they are 44 percent more likely to think favorably of it and 63 percent more likely to purchase goods or services from the company in the future.

If you still don’t think you have time to join and participate in your local chamber of commerce, con-sider the following: Most consumers (59 percent) think that being active in the local chamber of commerce is an effective business strategy overall. It’s 29 per-cent more effective, however, for communicating to consumers that a company uses good business prac-tices and 26 percent more effective for communicating that a business is reputable. If a company shows that it’s highly involved in its local chamber (e.g., sits on the chamber board), consumers are 12 percent more likely to think that its products stack up better against its competition. When a consumer thinks that a company’s products stack up better against the competition because the company is highly involved in its local chamber of commerce, it is because he or she infers that the company is trustworthy, involved in the com-munity and is an industry leader. When consumers know that a restaurant franchise is a member of the chamber of commerce, they are 40 percent more likely to eat at the franchise in the next few months.Thank you for reading this, and please consider joining the Bondurant Chamber of Commerce, we would love to have you.
