Happy November!

Well, we have had our first taste of snow, and cold weather is here to stay. Be sure to bundle up. If you haven’t started, soon it will be time to start Christmas shopping, making cookies

and candies to give away and finding time to relax and enjoy the holiday. Remember when making your lists of gifts to shop local as much as possible. Our lovely shops and restaurants depend on shoppers to keep them in business. Be sure to check out our article on Small Business Saturday on November 30th and also see what is going on at the Amanas.

November is Child Safety Protection Month. It is scary to realize that as hard as we try to keep our children safe, someone else is trying to steal them and harm them. We must remind our children daily that even someone who seems nice, may be a bad person. Keep watch over your little prizes.

November is National Peanut Butter month. Since the 3rd is Sandwich Day, I plan on celebrating both at once. November 13th is World Kindness Day. I wish that could be more days then just one. It would be a much happier world. The 17th is homemade bread day. I have never made homemade bread, but I sure do like to eat it! November 28th is Thanksgiving. Charlotte has a great turkey recipe, as well as a soup to warm us on cold nights.

We have a couple of great mustangs being shown this month. Jim McDonough is stopping at the Paramount for a one-night performance in December. And there are enough events going on in the area to keep us all pretty busy.

Keep safe, keep warm, and be kind.

God Bless

Remodeling your kitchen is one of the top ways to improve your home’s value. It is an exciting process, but can sometimes be overwhelming. Working with a professional kitchen designer insures you will get the aesthetics, function and style you want, while keeping it organized and within you’re spending plan–thus making it less stressful. These are just a few things to keep in mind that will help you through the process.

If you think your appliances might be giving out within a year, don’t wait to start looking at new ones. Styles and sizes change and may not fit in your existing space (ex. refrigerators).

Do your research. Start looking at features and finishes available…along with prices. Read consumer reviews to determine the best fit for your family’s needs.

Don’t replace your countertops, if you’re thinking within the next few years you may want to get new cabinets or flooring.

Do start looking for ideas of what your “ideal kitchen” would look like. There are so many storage options available, look at your existing kitchen to determine what you don’t have storage space for.

Do start talking with a professional designer. Bring the dimensions of your existing kitchen, along with a list and pictures of what you are envisioning. It is always best to call ahead and schedule a time to meet, so they will have your undivided attention. Each showroom has different cabinet and countertop options on display at various price points (good, better, best). Your designer should discuss construction and quality, along with aesthetics.

Don’t hesitate to talk to more than one designer. Every designer is different and it’s important you feel comfortable with them. You will be spending a great deal of time communicating with them over the next few months as your project moves forward.

Do be upfront with the designer if you’re not planning on starting your project right away. A kitchen remodel is a big project and often the best starting point is to determine a budget. A good designer will try to help you stick to your spending plan and keep your information on file until you’re ready to start your remodel. They can also keep you updated of any special promotions that might be being offered, or any upcoming price increases.

Don’t necessarily go with the cheapest price. When comparing apples to apples (layout, features & construction) a typical design should not have more than a few hundred dollar difference. A significant difference should be a red flag that something is “missing” and you need to start asking questions.

Do stay flexible and trust your designer. A designer will help you avoid expensive mistakes and misgivings by exploring all the options with you.

Don’t keep changing your mind. With the internet showing endless possibilities, it’s easy to second guess your choices. Your designer is there to keep you on track. Changes hold up the project and end up costing more.

Do use a reliable installer, often recommended by your designer. Projects go much smoother when using tradesmen that work together and have communication amongst themselves. Scheduling and meeting with the plumber, electrician, flooring etc. can require a lot of time off work for the homeowner and is much less stressful in the long run to go with a trusted installer.

Don’t forget to take pictures before, during and after. Try to take them standing in the same spot to make it easier to see the transformation of your kitchen.

At Cantebury Kitchens, we pride ourselves in helping to make each and every kitchen the area that everyone wants to gather and enjoy. Our professional team of designers get to know our clients and their families, so we’re able to customize a kitchen that will fit their needs, both present and future. No matter what your budget, we have the product and expertise to “Make Your Home Your Castle.”


Article and photography by Richard Butschi

He was raised as a Chevy guy, by a father with a red ‘67 Impala, 327 4-speed. Growing up in Delhi, near Manchester, Gary Whiting attended Maquoketa Valley High School, which had an excellent art and industrial arts program – both of great interest to him. The shop even had a paint booth, where Whiting laid down color on his first car, a ‘68 Impala. His second paint job was his art instructor’s Dodge Coronet. His second car was an 1980 Cobra Turbo, black with green stripe, which apparently was quite a car as it’s been Mustangs ever since. From there it’s been a continual line of car “flips” for a little extra cash, repairs for family and friends, along with “fixer-uppers” for his 3 kids, Adam, Drew and Brianna.

After relocating in the Center Point area, he wisely invested in the vacant lot next door where he put up a good-sized workshop with a 2-post lift and plenty of room for a body shop. There currently sits the body of a ‘70 Mustang fastback on a rotisserie, along with a Ford 429 cubic inch engine, nearby, ready for installation. Not long ago, he invested in a second outbuilding, originally planned for cold storage, which turned into a enviable man-cave, which is called the “Pony Barn”, with heat, a/c and much more. It has a loft for plenty of storage and houses a ‘55 Ford pickup (a future project) along with 2 completed Mustang coupes.

Whiting purchased his ‘67 in Knoxville, IA, but it is documented as once owned by Universal Studios in CA – (perhaps used in the movies?). It was taken down to bare metal and gutted. It now sports Vintage Burgundy metallic paint, a gutsy 302 engine with a C4 transmission and stock 2.79 rearend gearing. Wheels are American Racing Torque Thrusts. Dual exhaust is by Flowmaster.

The ‘68 came from Omaha, and Whiting sprayed it in Ford’s Kona Blue, with Titanium Grey striping. It’s powered by a hopped-up 289 with a T5 5-speed transmission and 3.50 gearing. The Bullitt-style wheels are 10” wide at the rear and 9” on the front, done in “black chrome”. The hood

is custom with air scoops. Door handles have been shaved and open with remote “poppers”. Exhaust is by Magnaflow.

All of Whiting’s engine work is done by Brian Gade at Gade Motor Co. in Clarence, where they specialize in engines for race cars, so as the license plates indicate, they are fast. The interiors are the work of Bob Downing of Bob’s Auto Interiors, Center Point. Whiting likes his vehicles with customized touches. Both Mustangs have LED headlights and taillights with sequential turn signals, along with colored lights behind the custom grills. The ‘67 also sports lighting from the underside of the car, with a remote that changes colors. The blue ‘68 has special side-mounted air scoops and exhaust exiting in front of the rear wheel and are built into the

rocker panel valences. Both have fiberglass spoilers front and rear and modern stereo systems with Blue Tooth.

Whiting says the 2 coupes and the fastback will go to his kids when he decides to slow things down a bit, but may find an older convertible for Brianna – although he has one currently sitting in the attached garage. (Yes, another Mustang.) It’s a 2010 model that he got a good deal on, as it looked like someone was very upset with the previous owner and took a 9-iron to most of the body and convertible top. Gary did the body work and paint, now with a mild orange color and licensed as “PUMKIN”. Gary’s better half, Kim, has been quite content riding “shotgun” and letting him pursue his obvious passion.

Since its inception by Congress in 1961, the third week in March has been designated as National Poison Prevention Week. Veterinarians and toxicology experts urge everyone to remember our four-legged friends, as they are among the most vulnerable.

Top Toxins for Pets Human FoodsDogs love to help themselves to foods that are safe for humans, but poisonous for dogs. The most prevalent is chocolate. Dark chocolate is the most dangerous since it contains high amounts of theobromine – a relative of caffeine that can be deadly. Xylitol, a sweetener in sugarless gums, candies and even vitamins is also very dangerous and can be life-threatening even when ingested in small amounts. Raisins and grapes are often overlooked by dog owners as potentially dangerous, but they are extremely toxic and can cause kidney failure. Other human foods toxic to dogs include macadamia nuts, garlic, onions, yeast-based dough and table salt.

House PlantsSome common poisonous houseplants include azaleas, lilies (especially Tiger, Day, Asiatic, Easter, and Japanese Show lilies), daffodils, Sago palms, tulips, and hyacinths can cause anything from mouth irritation and drooling to severe stomach damage or death. Always do your research before planting something new in the garden, or bringing new greenery into the house.

Household ProductsIf there’s a warning on it, keep it out of reach of people AND pets. Cleaning and other household products like bleach, paints, antifreeze and pool additives, as well as rat or other pest poisons can, cause problems if ingested, and even chemical burns externally.

Human Medications & Dietary Supplements43% of calls in 2012 to the poison hotline were for dogs that ate over-the-counter (OTC) or prescription medications. The majority involved antidepressants which can cause serious harm to dogs when ingested. 5.5% of calls were concerning dogs that ingested dietary supplements and vitamins. While many, such as Vitamins C, K, and E are fairly safe, others such as iron, Vitamin D and alpha-lipoic acid can be highly toxic in overdose situations.

Insecticides & Rodenticides14% of call in 2012 to poison control were for dogs that ate insecticides in the form of sprays, granules, insect bait stations, mouse and rat poisons and more. While many household insecticides are well tolerated by dogs, certain potent types such as organophosphates (often found in rose-care products), can be life-threatening even when ingested in small amounts. Depending on the type of mouse poison ingested, poisoning can result in moderate

to severe symptoms—anywhere from uncontrolled bleeding, swelling of the brain, kidney failure and seizures. Only one type of mouse poison (anticoagulant or blood thinner) has an antidote to counteract the effects of the poison. The rest, unfortunately, have no antidote and are more difficult to treat. There is also potential for relay toxicity, meaning that pets and wildlife can be poisoned by eating dead rodents that were poisoned by rodenticides.

Symptoms of poisoning can vary, based on the size or type of pet, and the kind of poison ingested. General symptoms can include:• Vomiting• Diarrhea• Seizures• Bloodinthestool• Lethargy• Lossofappetite• Bruising• Nosebleeds• Irregularheartbeat• Inabilitytourinate

If you suspect that your pet has ingested or otherwise made contact with poisonous materials:1. Check your pet’s body and mouth to remove any remaining poisonous matter.2. Try to collect a sample of the poisonous element (including anything your pet may have thrown up).3. Call your vet immediately and be ready to provide information about: • What your pet ingested and when•How much your pet ingested (how many tablets, package size, etc.)• Pet’s current weight• Pet’s known medical history, including any medications (prescriptions and supplements) the substance may interact with.4. DO NOT give your pet milk, peanut butter, vegetable oil or other soothing or vomit inducing substances. DO NOT attempt to induce vomiting unless directed by a veterinarian. In some cases, vomiting can make the problem worse!

The “Sandwich Generation”

The “Sandwich Generation” is becoming more well-known than ever before. The sandwich generation is defined as someone who cares for their children and parents at the same time. They may support them both financially and emotionally. This becomes increasingly tiresome on an individual that is the caregiver. There are different types of sandwich generations as stated on seniorliving.org. Those generations consist of:

The Traditional Sandwich Generation- Refers to an adult sandwiched between their elderly parents and adult children. They may be caring for them financially, emotionally, or both.

The Club Sandwich Generation- A caregiver sandwiched between their elderly parents, adult children, AND grandchildren.

The Open-Faced Sandwich Generation- Someone who is non-professionally involved in elder care.

Being in the sandwich generation can be extremely stressful. Someone may experience caregiver burnout, health issues, and trouble continuing existing relationships. Unfortunately, the percent of caregiver’s in the sandwich generation is only rising. There are some helpful tips to consider if someone is in this situation.

Tip #1- Have aging parents move in with you to relieve the financial burden.

Tip #2- Look into an emergency pendant system so there is 24/7 oversight if something happens.

Tip #3- Have open communication with your family and a plan of action when situations arise.

Tip #4- Look into an in-home care service or senior living community to relieve some of the care-giving burden.

If you are needing assistance or have questions reach out to aging services or the nearest senior living community like The Views Senior Living. We are here to support YOU in your time of need! Visit us online at www.viewsseniorliving.com or call us.


Traditionally, the day after Thanksgiving has been known as Black Friday, a day that many large retail stores offer unbelievable deals to get you started on your holiday gift giving venture. This year, consider starting your local holiday shopping on Small Business Saturday instead. Held annually the Saturday after Thanksgiving, this is an awesome way to get your shopping started while supporting small, local businesses in your community. Here are a few reasons why it’s a great idea to shop local and on Small Business Saturday.

1. You help create jobs in the community when you shop at local businesses. Money spent in locally-owned businesses, builds a stronger business financially which then creates more employment opportunities, in-turn putting more money back into the community. When you make a purchase at a small business, you are doing your part to stimulate the local economy.

2. Your tax dollars stay local.Shopping at small businesses helps keep money within the community. Your tax dollars stay local, going toward public services, better schools, and libraries.

3. Small businesses give back locally more often. Small businesses are more likely to go beyond writing a check to a local cause and are more likely to get involved and develop a partnership with others. Local establishments often serve as community hubs for events and fundraisers, like a pizza parlor sponsoring a little league fundraiser for the neighborhood team.

4. Shopping at one local business often helps other local businesses.Many small businesses tend to offer products that are made in-house or locally; creating a ripple effect in the local economy by supporting essentially more then one local business with a purchase. Shoppers are also more likely stop by other independent retailers in the vicinity. Small business owners are also more likely to use other local businesses for their needs, such as local printers, accountants, attorneys.

5. Small businesses offer a broader range and more unique products. You don’t want to sport the same look as your friends or have the same cookie-cutter furnishings. Small businesses can help you get away

from the mass-produced items found at big box chains and help you find one-of-a-kind items for your home or unique gifts for your significant other. You’ll also be able to find locally-owned businesses that are more available for custom orders.

6. Supporting locally-owned businesses helps keep communities diverse and gives them distinctive character. Can you imagine what it would be like to live in a place with nothing but strip malls and big box stores? Walkable town centers with small businesses add to the vibrancy and uniqueness of a community and are essential in keeping the small-town feel. By participating in Small Business Saturday, you’re making sure

independent businesses continue to thrive. It would be tough for the charming trinkets shop or the mom and pop deli around the corner to stay afloat without your patronage.

7. Community decisions are made by more people that are actually living in the community. Local business ownership ensures that important decisions are being made by people that will also feel the impact of those decisions.

8. Entrepreneurship is the key to the future. Encouraging local entrepreneurship fuels America’s economic innovation and prosperity to build a better future. Small businesses attract an array of talented individuals that will learn more skills in the smaller setting leading to a better ability to adapt to situations and problem solve quickly. It is a stepping-stone for many to find their own business path and help families move out of low-wage jobs and into the middle class.

This upcoming season, and year-round, consider shopping at small, locally-owned businesses more often. It’s a great way to get better acquainted with your neighborhood and support the community that you live in.

Small Business Saturday 2019November 30th from 10:00 am - 2:00 pmKick-off the holiday shopping season with Small Business Saturday! Uptown Marion Main Street and Marion Chamber of Commerce invites you to come out and enjoy holiday music as you shop and dine in Uptown Marion.

Nothing shouts fall more than this hearty, in-season, vegetable soup. Serve this loaded soup up with a side of crusty bread, wrap yourself up in a cozy blanket, turn on Netflix, and sink in to enjoy.

Have you ever eaten rutabaga? I love vegetables, but somehow, in all my years, I’d never had rutabaga. When I saw some at my friends’ farmers market booth this fall, I was intrigued... they were the size of my 10-year-old’s head! I asked how they tasted and for some suggestions for using them. (If you’re ever curious about something at the farmers market, ask your farmer! They love telling you about their goodies!) My friend told me that they are good cooked with a fat or added to soup, and that’s when inspiration struck and I decided to try my first rutabaga in my favorite potato soup!

Ingredients:• 1 pound bacon• 1 onion, diced• 2 leeks, chopped and rinsed well• 1 huge rutabaga or 2-3 medium, diced• 1 carton broth of choice• 2 cups milk of choice• 1-2 tbsp flour or cornstarch• Salt and pepper to taste• Your favorite baked potato toppings• Optional: carrots, kale or other veggies

Directions:1. Cook the bacon as desired. I like to bake it on a rack so the grease drips off onto a baking pan. Set aside.2. Heat a soup pot over medium heat, then add some of the bacon grease and the onions.3. As the onions begin to soften, add the leeks and cook for a few minutes.4. Add the diced rutabaga and any other root veggies you’re adding along with the broth. Add water to cover if needed and bring to a boil, then simmer until the rutabaga is tender.5. Mash or blend some of the rutabagas to make a creamier soup.6. Add any other veggies such as chopped kale.7. Mix the milk and flour/cornstarch and then add to the soup and stir until it thickens.8. Chop the bacon into small pieces and add to the soup. Reserve some for topping.9. Top with your favorite baked potato toppings such as sour cream, shredded cheese, bacon, and green onions.Try this recipe on your picky eaters -- they might not even be aware of all of the veggie goodness you are giving them! My 10-year-old had leftovers for breakfast the next day!

A Centerpiece Sure to Wow: Cornucopia Bread BasketThis centerpiece is easy to make and sure to impress!

This bread basket is not only easy to make, but it is also a beautiful centerpiece for your table and a gorgeous “basket” for your veggies, nuts, or fruits. It’s also a guaranteed huge hit to bring to a potluck!

Ingredients:• 3 containers (11 oz) of refrigerated soft breadstick dough• 1 egg• 1 tablespoon water• Everything Bagel seasoning• Non-stick cooking spray• Heavy duty tin foil• Cut vegetables and fruit, and/or nuts for inside

Directions:• Preheat oven according to breadstick package directions• Spray cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray• Form the shape of a cone with heavy duty tin foil and curve the bottom• Spray the outside of the cone with non-stick cooking spray• Beat the egg and water in a small bowl• Separate the breadsticks and start wrapping them around the tinfoil cone, starting from the tip and working your way up, pinching each end together as you go• Keep wrapping the cone until you have about an inch or so of foil left and 3 strips of breadsticks• Pinch the top of the remaining breadsticks together and braid. Wrap the braid around the top of the basket and pinch ends together• Brush “basket” with egg wash and sprinkle with Everything Bagel seasoning• Bake until golden brown• Let cool completely and stuff just before putting on display or serving

Impressive, right? No one has to know how easy it actually was!

Roasting a turkey can be intimidating, but really it is quite simple. Follow these steps below and you will be on your way to serving a perfect turkey this year!1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.2. Remove turkey from packaging and be sure to remove the neck and giblets.3. Place turkey in a suitable roasting pan and brush outside with melted butter and then season.4. Put the turkey in the oven and reduce temp to 350 degrees (Note: the turkey will need to cook at this temp for 15 minutes per pound).5. Cook for 1 hour.6. After 1 hour, begin basting the turkey every 15 minutes for the remainder of the cooking time.7. The turkey is fully cooked when the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees (Note: always insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the turkey).8. If the turkey is stuffed, stuffing must also reach an internal temp of 165 degrees.9. Remove turkey from oven and allow to rest at room

temperature for 15 minutes before carving.10. When carving, be sure to use a sharp knife and slice against the grain.

You can also try:*Brining the turkey before baking.*Stuffing the cavity of the turkey with cut up oranges and lemons. This will keep the white meat moist while cooking and also adds a nice citrus note to the basting liquid.*Instead of a whole turkey, you can roast a hotel breast (just the white meat parts of a turkey). Follow the same cooking instructions as above, but start basting after 20 minutes.*Many readers said they like to use a cooking bag for the turkey to save on the mess. While we agree that using a bag will help save the mess, we like the crispy skin too much to use one.*Cornish hens or quail also make nice alternatives to the traditional turkey and take much less time to cook.

Tannenbaum ForestImagine a century old dairy barn filled with over 40 real decorated Christmas tree and the scent of pine in the air. Imagine the traditional German Christmas pyramid but 17′ tall. Imagine the sound of Christmas Carols filling this barn and imagine Santa Claus sitting on a vintage sleigh decked out in his complete red splendor welcoming children, of all ages, to whisper in his ear their Christmas wish.

Come to Amana for Tannenbaum Forest and you won’t need to imagine, it’s all right here and you can see it for yourself as Tannenbaum Forest becomes a reality on the day after Thanksgiving. This four week long celebration features a different theme each weekend, but is all centered around the Tannenbaum Forest that is located in the Festhalle in the village of Amana. Open on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays this popular event helps families escape the commercialism of the mall and brings the Christmas season back to a much simpler time.

Local businesses, organizations, and nonprofit groups from the area all select trees and then decorate them uniquely to create this magical forest. As you wind through the lights and pines you’ll see the Kid’s Corner where children can write a note to Santa and slip it into his mailbox. Walk past the display of Gingerbread Houses made by area school children and come upon the beautiful nativity that reminds us of the true meaning of Christmas. Continue down the path and you’ll find the jolly old man himself, on his sleigh waiting for the next child. Make sure to bring your camera, this is a great photo op.

Sample SaturdaysDuring this four weekend period you’ll find the many Amana businesses have designated some fun food and drink sampling themes each Saturday that will making strolling the village and shops even more enjoyable.

1. The first Saturday is a Coffee Crawl with samples of unique coffees or coffee flavored foods to sample.2. The second Saturday is the Hot Cider/Mulled Wine Walk. Mulled wine, called Gluehwein in Germany is a Christmas tradition and in Amana you’ll find a variety of recipes.3. On the third Saturday, which is considered Children’s Weekend you’ll be sampling sweet treats of all kinds. It’s also on that afternoon that you’ll be able to see a real reindeer.4. Our final weekend is the Recipe Walk, each participating business will have a recipe to share and a sample of that recipe. Each Saturday is special and you may want to come several times.

Amana Pickle HuntWhile visiting the Colonies during the time of Tannenbaum Forest you can also take part in the Amana Pickle Hunt. Based on legend of the German Pickle Ornament, it’s said that an old German Christmas custom was to hang a pickle ornament on the Christmas tree late on the evening of December 24th and the first child to find the pickle on Christmas morning would receive an extra gift.

The Amana version will have you looking for Pickle Ornaments in each shop and when you find the pickle in 10 shops you are entered into a weekly drawing for a $100 Amana Colonies Gift Certificate.

For many families the Tannenbaum Forest has become a tradition. The visit to the Tannenbaum Forest is free, however, we encourage a free will donation with proceeds going to the University of Iowa Stead Family Children’s Hospital that’s just down the road in Iowa City.

Prelude to ChristmasA magical weekend with special events and food/beverage sampling in the shops, carolers on the street, and the town decked out in Christmas finery that’s Prelude to Christmas in the Amana Colonies. The streets of Amana come alive with old world charm at no time more than Prelude to Christmas. The fences and store fronts sport pine boughs, there’s red ribbons fluttering in the breeze, and an occasional melody from beloved Christmas Caroles in the air.

Christmas is a special time of year and no less in the Colonies where you can escape the hustle of the malls and the impersonal shopping of today’s online experience. In the Colonies, at Christmas time you’ll be greeted by a cheerful Merry Christmas and a warm smile.

Grab a schedule of events when you arrive to plan the unique event you would like to take in. Most of the businesses have something special they’re offering from samples, or special products. You’ll find mulled wine in many of the wineries, or a special brew at the state of Iowa’s oldest micro-brewery right here in the village of Amana. Many people think of chocolate at Christmas time and our chocolate shop is hand dipping specialties as fast as they can. Step into one of our restaurants and you’ll find something seasonal and special on the menu and if you’re planning your own Christmas Eve celebration an Amana ham is perfect. You’ll find that and plenty of sausages at our meat shop.

Special Christmas ExhibitAt the Amana Heritage Society you’ll find a glimpse into Christmases past as they present a special exhibit each year. You’ll see toys and dolls from the recent and the very distant past. You’ll be able to tell and show your children about the toys of your childhood. They have something on exhibit that will trip a memory no matter how old you are.

Cookie WalkAn Amana Colonies holiday tradition is the Amana Church Society’s annual Cookie Walk. Tables of homemade cookies baked by the communities church members are available on a number system. Go early on Saturday morning and get your number. Then, return at your scheduled time and begin selecting from the thousands of cookies, bars, candies, and treats that you want to fill up your box.

Villages of Amana Christmas Haus TourAs a fundraiser, the Amana Arts Guild hosts their annual Villages of Amana Christmas Haus Tour where you will get a tour of 4 or more homes all decorated for the holidays. The homes vary each year with some being historic and others more contemporary but all get rave reviews for the attendees.

When night falls have a great meal at one of our restaurants, take a drive through the villages to see the decorations and Christmas light of the neighborhoods, plan to attend a live theater production at the local theater companies’ main stage or just head back to your B&B or hotel and relax. It’s Prelude to Christmas in the Amana Colonies and that means a slower pace and an escape from the mall, the crowds, and the hassles of today’s world.
