Y ou’ve read about it. You’ve heard about it. You may have even seen a sneak preview of it. The time has now come for all our readers to know about our retooled, redesigned and greatly

expanded website, iowalivingmagazines.com. We have been providing full and free access to our magazines in a digital format, complete with the news and advertising that you see in print each month. This was a helpful tool for those who wanted to share specific articles with friends and family living outside the community. It was “scrapbook journalism,” you might say. In addition, we developed formats so users could view the magazines on tablets and smart phones. That was all fine and dandy, but we heard your requests loud and clear. You told us how you enjoyed receiving your magazine each month, but you also wanted access to stories from nearby communities for free, too. You wanted information like obituaries for free. You wanted an expanded community calendar for free. You wanted to be able to view photos from events the next day, and you wanted an easier way to submit your own photos for free, too. You wanted a way to view and submit more timely news and information with access to free Web exclusives. And you wanted this all now. You got it. We are pleased to unveil the all new iowalivingmagazines.com, and we look forward to continuing to serve you for free in print, online, on your phones/tablets and in ways still yet unimaginable. Regardless of how you view this magazine, I appreciate you taking the time to do it. So, as always, thanks for reading.

in Windsor Heights.

By Michael Swanger

S ome communities celebrate the fall season with a German food and beer event, or a children’s costume contest, or a concert.

But few, if any, combine all three activities (and more) like Windsor Heights, which will host its annual Oktoberfest on Saturday, Oct. 6 in Colby Park. Organized by the City of Windsor Heights, the free, family-friendly event will be held from 2 to 6 p.m. and will include a multitude of enter-tainment designed to appeal to residents and visitors of all ages. Among its attractions are children’s activities such as inflatables, a mini rail-road, pony rides and a costume contest, as well as live polka music, artwork and German beer aimed at the older sect, not to mention German food, hula hoops, and pet costume and pumpkin carving contests that are sure to appeal to fans of all ages. “It’s a combination of Octoberfest and

Halloween,” says Tracy Levine, parks and special events coor-dinator for the City of Windsor Heights. “I think of it as the pre-mium fall festival for families. We bring in a lot of activities, and it’s a great event. We want to welcome people not only from Windsor Heights but from the whole area to bring their families and friends to Colby Park.” Oktoberfest, which took its name in 2005, but got its start as the “Fall Festival” in 2001 in Windsor Heights, offers a few new attractions this year including free pony rides and a mini railroad. “There will be two or three ponies in the park to ride, as well as a miniature pony for people to see. The people who handle the ponies will accompany each rider. They love their horses, and they wanted to share them with the public,” says Levine. Harold Drake will organize a mini railroad that includes nine cars designed to transport chil-dren on a short ride that extends

from the parking lot in Colby Park to the nearby bike trail and back. The train runs from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m. at Colby Park. “That’s something we wanted to add this year after seeing him at the downtown Des Moines Farmers Market. The rides are

free, and the kids will enjoy it,” Levine says. Other activities geared toward children include a handful of inflat-able rides that are open from 2 to 6 p.m. in which tickets that sell for $1 each are required (the only activity that is not free, other than

eating and drinking) and balloon animals that are available from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. “Kids love inflatables, so we had to bring those back,” Levine says, “and the Windsor Heights Chamber is supporting Jonathan May who will be making the animal balloons, which are also a lot of fun.” The most popular children event, organizers say, might be the costume contest to be held at 2:30 p.m. Levine encourages parents to join their children in donning their favorite costume. Prizes to the child with the scar-iest, most humorous and best theme will be awarded in each cat-egory. The contest is sponsored by the volunteer Windsor Heights Neighborhood Watch group. “It’s open to kids of all ages, and a lot of kids go out of their way to win the prizes,” says Levine. “They will be judged on things like creativity, theme and overall effect. The contest keeps growing, and this year we encour-

age adults to wear their costumes, too.” Kids are not the only ones who can enter a contest to show off their favorite costume. So, too, can pets for a contest of their own to be held at 3 p.m. “Most people bring their dog, but it is open to all pets. Some of the costumes are hysterical, and we’ve had a lot of fun with the contest over the years,” Levine says. “The Windsor Heights Lions Club will be sponsoring the event and giving out prizes to the win-ners.” Plenty of family events can also be found at Oktoberfest, including the traditional pumpkin carving contest open to the first 40 or so teams who sign up to compete on a first-come, first-serve basis from 2 - 4 p.m. “We will be giving away about 40 pumpkins while supplies last,” Levine says. “People can sit here and carve a pumpkin for a cer-tain category that they want to enter, whether it is for the scari-est pumpkin or the most beauti-ful pumpkin. Sometimes people will organize teams, and there is almost always a child on each team. It’s a great family event or a way to get friends together.” Of course, what Oktoberfest

would be complete without brats, sausages and sauerkraut? Or German beer? Or polka music? Food and beer will be sold from 2 - 6 p.m. as will funnel cakes and other foods. The Windsor Heights Police Association will serve the food, and the city will serve the beer, organizers say.

To add to the festive atmo-sphere, Levine has hired an award-winning polka band from Des Moines known simply as the Polka Club Band to entertain visitors. The group includes two women and two men who play accordions, tuba and drums. They will perform from 3 - 6 p.m. “The band will also bring danc-ers who will give people lessons on how to dance to polka music. I’m looking forward to seeing them perform,” Levine says.

Abe Goldstien, a member of the Des Moines-based klezmer jazz band Java Jews, who per-formed this summer at Colby Park for the annual music series, will also be strolling the grounds at the park while playing his accordion. In addition to live music, Oktoberfest will offer fans hands-

on workshops, like face painting and mask making, as well as an art and fresh produce show. Artists and food growers who would like to participate in the event are encouraged to contact Levine at [email protected] or call 645-6821. “It’s an open call, so the more the merrier,” she says. The winners of the day’s con-tests will be announced during a presentation at 4 p.m. followed by a hula hoop event that closes

out the day’s festivities from 4 - 6 p.m. “Mary Boyvey of the Sparkle company will lead the hula hoop event. People can borrow one from her or buy one. She’s amaz-ing and she will definitely get the crowd going,” says Levine. Organizers say that their goal is to steadily increase the attendance at Oktoberfest each year and to showcase the com-munity’s amenities, including those in Colby Park like the new Community Center, trail, play-ground and concert pavilion. “Adding those things to Colby Park has helped to boost atten-dance at our events,” Levine says. “They are on everyone’s radar and they have helped to raise the visibility of Windsor

Heights, making it more of a des-tination. “The goal is to bring people to Colby Park, which is a beautiful park and offers plenty of free park-ing.” Levine says that she also wants local residents to embrace Oktoberfest as an event that is truly their own. “There’s a lot going on, but it has a community feel to it, and it is accessible to everyone,” she says. “It’s going to be a fun day.”

legal briefs By Ross Barnett

Information provided by Ross Barnett, attorney for Abendroth and Russell Law Firm, 2560 73rd St., Urbandale, 278-0623, www.ARPCLaw.com.

T he process of estate plan-ning inevitably raises some difficult emotional and per-

sonal issues. It forces you to face the unpleasant fact of your own mortality; you are trying to plan for a time when you won’t be around to make decisions. Others, particularly those you love, will be affected by the plans you make now and will be expected to exer-cise their own judgment once you are gone. For many people, the most difficult step in the estate planning process is deciding to do it. Estate planning comprises three major areas: planning for incapacity, directing your wealth and minimizing taxes. The first component to estate planning is often overlooked. It is very likely that, before you die, something will happen to you that will render you unable to assist in your financial decisions. You should have in place contin-gent plans — a financial power of attorney, a health care power of attorney, and a living will — that nominates somebody else to help you make decisions. The second step in estate planning is to direct your wealth. Your last will and testament or living trust will designate your beneficiaries. To whom you leave your money and property is obvi-ously a very personal decision. Most people naturally think of planning for spouses, children and relatives first. This is especially true for minor children. In Iowa, 18 is the legal adult age. However, an 18-year-old child may not be mature enough to handle the responsibilities of a sudden wind-fall. Evaluate at what age your chil-

dren might be capable of meeting this challenge and consider strate-gies that can help you plan for that time. Two things in life are cer-tain: death and taxes. The third part of estate planning is ensuring that one doesn’t cause the other. Your entire estate, no matter its size, can pass to your spouse estate tax free. This deduction, however, does not eliminate the possibility that estate taxes may be due on assets transferred by your surviving spouse upon his or her death. Careful estate plan-ning also minimizes inheritance tax and preserves the recipient’s basis for calculating capital gains taxes. Both you and your spouse should establish estate plans that will maximize asset transfers to your heirs and minimize estate taxation. You are never too young to think about estate planning. It is vital for every person to be responsible enough to create a plan for themselves and their fam-ily.

health Q&A

W alnut Creek Community Church, 900 64th St. in

Windsor Heights, is hosting a free seminar by Josh and Dottie McDowell titled “How to Talk to Your Kids About Sex” on Sunday, Sept. 23 from 6 - 9 p.m. Josh McDowell once consid-ered himself an agnostic and held the belief that Christianity was worthless. After being challenged to intellectually explore the claims of Christianity, he was over-whelmed by the by the evidence of the reliability of the Christian faith and was forever changed. Now a world-renown speak-er, McDowell has addressed more than 10 million youth, giving 24,000 speeches in 118 differ-ent countries. He has authored or co-authored more than 120 books including “More Than A Carpenter” and “New Evidence that Demands a Verdict.”

McDowell will be speaking to parents about discussing the challenging topic of sex and rela-tionships with children. He and his wife, Dottie, draw on their own experiences of raising four children and five grandchildren to give encouragement and solid information to parents who are challenged with the sometimes awkward process of guiding their own children into a healthy under-standing of sex and young rela-tionships. Josh and his son, Sean, a

high school teacher, author and speaker, will be available for questions and answers after the presentation. A pastor and lay ministry leader breakfast will be held on Monday, Sept. 24 at Walnut Creek Church. Josh and Sean McDowell will be presenting on some of the many challenges facing church leadership today. Registration is required for this free breakfast seminar. These events conclude a full weekend of seminars and presen-tations by the McDowells entitled “The Bare Facts.” The weekend events begin on Friday evening at the Knapp Center in Des Moines and continue with additional presentations at First Federated Church and The Downtown Church on Saturday.

A: Healthy teeth can be moved at any age, so there’s no such thing as “too old” for braces. In fact, nowadays about one out of every five orthodontic patients is an adult. Yet this figure represents only a small portion of adults who could actually benefit from orthodontic treatment. Research has shown that the frequency of malocclusion (“mal” - bad; “occlusion” - bite) in adults is comparable to what we see in children and adolescents. Perhaps as many as three quarters of adults have some form of orthodontic problem — crowding of teeth or drifting of teeth after extractions, for example. A great-looking smile is a surefire way to boost self-confidence, and stud-ies have demonstrated that orthodontic treatment can even enhance an adult’s career opportunities and social life. There is also a potential health benefit, as misaligned teeth can be harder to clean, setting the stage for tooth decay and gum disease. Straightening teeth can also make chewing more comfortable. So there are many reasons to consider orthodontic treatment at any age. What will determine if you are a good candidate for orthodontic treatment, then, will not be your age; it will be your current state of periodontal health (“peri” - around; “odont” - tooth), your general health and what type of problem you are trying to fix. Periodontal (gum) disease, which can lead to the loss of tooth-supporting bone, is more prevalent in adults than in adolescents.

Q: As an adult, is it too late for me to get braces?

W ith a fun-loving spirit and a contagious, pos-itive attitude, it’s easy

to see why Perkins Elementary students adore Karen Birchmier. They enjoy being in her company, they like her, they do well for her. As Perkins’ in-class reading and math support teacher, her room is bursting with colorful bas-kets, books and binders. One wall holds the white board, which is consumed with addition strategies. A green bench holds the count-ing charts and the one-inch ruled tablet with the alphabet. There are vocabulary game cards and pieces. A single table sits in the middle of the room. It’s clear this is where the learning, listening, con-versation and fun happen. “I love the spontaneity and vari-ety that children bring to education every day,” says Birchmier. “They are passionate about understanding what they have just read, but they are also passionate about losing a tooth, and that makes me smile.” Birchmier, who has taught at Perkins for six years, says the staff and their principal are what make the school stand out. “We all focus on character and hold the expectations high,” she states. “We make our stu-dents feel happy and build them up. We believe in hard work, building character and really hone in on positive interventions.”

With all this hard work, cou-pled with her unmistakable pas-sion for children and education, it’s no surprise that Birchmier was the 2012 Golden Apple award recipient from WHO Channel 13. She giggles as she admits she tells her students the floating gold pieces in her golden apple trophy are real. As the school year begins, Birchmier is looking forward to the Perkins book drive, clothing drive and the one-stop conference night where their nutrition team hands out apples and crackers as families leave parent/teacher conferences. When not building counting blocks and vocabularies with ele-mentary students, Birchmier loves to travel. She went to Aruba in 2011 and is planning a trip to Europe for next summer. On the local map, you can find her with her two daughters traveling to soccer games and show choir performances. She also hopes to improve her golf handicap so she doesn’t embarrass her husband when they retire together.

A s an adult, you’re fortu-nate if you still have your parents. However, as they

get older, you may well have to assist them in some key areas of their life. Specifically, they may need you to get involved in some of their financial issues. If you do, you may need to focus on two areas: leav-ing a legacy and managing finances during retirement. While initiating these con-versations may not be easy for you, it is important, and you may find your parents more willing to discuss these issues than you had thought. You should encour-age your parents to work with an estate-planning professional to develop the necessary legal docu-ments, which may include wills, trusts and financial durable powers of attorney. While your parents need to deal with the legacy issue, they still may have plenty of years of living ahead of them, and they might need help managing their money during these years. For starters, you may want to have a discussion about their sav-ings, investments, insurance and so on; as well as where these assets are held. This knowledge could be valuable if you ever become involved in managing or distribut-ing your parents’ resources. Also, you might want to talk to your parents about the income sources they may be drawing from during their retirement. For exam-ple, how much are they taking out each year from their 401(k)s and IRAs? They don’t want to with-drawl so much that they deplete

their accounts too soon, but at the same time, they would no doubt like to maintain their standard of living during their retirement. You may want to suggest to your parents that they evaluate their investment portfolio for both growth and income poten-tial, because they will need both elements during a long retirement. If your parents aren’t already working with a financial advisor, you may want to encourage them to do so. Managing an investment portfolio during retirement is no easier than doing so during one’s working years — and there’s less time to overcome mistakes. A qualified financial advisor can help your parents choose the right mix of investments that can help meet their needs. During the course of your lifetime, your parents have done a lot for you. You can help them by doing whatever you can to assist them in managing their financial strategy.

V icky Daniel knows what she likes, and she likes the Hyundai Santa Fe. Actually,

her affinity for the vehicle could be more like an obsession than a crush. “I love them, and I love Hyundai,” she says. “I’ve had a 2007, 2009 and 2011.” All three of Daniel’s Santa Fes have been white, and she says she plans to get a new white 2013 model. She teasingly says she always gets white vehicles because “the good guys always ride the white horses.” She says the real reason is because she is a real estate agent, and she doesn’t think real estate agents should drive up in “myste-rious black cars.” So what is it that keeps her coming back for more? Daniel says she never has any problems with the vehicles, she likes the way they look, and she really likes that come with a 100,000-mile warranty. She says the vehicle handles well in the snow, which was a big plus for her. “They’re economical to buy,” she says, continuing her checklist

of why she likes the cars. “And they’re economical to run.” She also feels if her clients see she is economically responsible herself, they’ll know that she is also taking their economics into consideration. Daniel says while she likes the features she has in her current Santa Fe, the next one she will purchase will come equipped with a push button hatchback to make hauling easier. “I just like everything about the car,” she says. “I really do.” Not only does Daniel use the vehicle to drive to homes to meet her clients, she drives to Palm Beach every year with her dog. When she has company — cur-rently her daughter, Jolynn Press, who comes in from France — she does a lot of travel in the area. Daniel is new to the area, fresh from Napa Valley less than a year ago, and says she is very happy here. “It’s just the convenience,” she says. Coming from a large city, the short drives to work and stores makes her life easier. “I love it.”

C ute couple. Cute home. That’s what you find when you visit 1017 65th

St. in Windsor Heights. When asked what they like best about their home, Michael Caskey says, “Margaret.” Aaawww… The cozy couple has lived in this 1953 home for 30 years. Other reasons they like it is that it’s brick, and there is very little painting maintenance to be done. And the fact that this house was built when homes were built to last, says Michael. It really is a sturdy home. They also like the location of their home. “It’s just so convenient to everything,” says Margaret. The Caskeys have been busy over a period of time updating, painting and changing their home. All the paint colors they have chosen for the living room and bedrooms are cozy and new. The painted accent walls make the rooms seem bigger. The new windows are clean and reveal the home as well-kept and loved. The contemporary blinds and swag drapes in the liv-ing room are beautiful. The deck in the backyard is quaint and just

their size. The couple keeps up the main-tenance, the painting and the re-doing. They’ve added a new roof, front and back doors and updated the furnace and air conditioning. On their wish list is a new kitchen and dining room. Michael and Margaret enjoy their home and their daily “to-do” lists. In the midst of organiz-ing, cleaning, painting and planning, they also know that Christmas is coming. It is then when their five children, 13 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren will interrupt their daily house chores and swell their well-built Windsor Heights home with love, peace and joy. “The rooms are a bit small,” says Michael. “We really feel it at Christmas when all the kids are here. With all the things we love about our home, we agree that this one time of year isn’t enough to make us move.” New, younger families moving into the area are bringing a fresh vibe, yet another thing that the Caskeys enjoy about their location. “This neighborhood really has changed quite a bit since we’ve been here,” says Michael.

health Q&A

A: Unfortunately, nail-biting is more than an unsightly habit. The habit can leave more than stunted fingernails; it can lead to problems with the temporomandibular joints — the joints in front of the ears where the jawbone meets, also known as the TMJs. Any activity, like nail-biting, that involves holding the teeth in an unnatural position for extended periods increases the possibility of injury to the TMJ. Over a long period, the unnatural position of the jaws involved in nail-biting will stretch the muscles in the jaw, causing pain and throwing off balance of the TMJs. If a very young child begins the habit, it can contribute to a gap developing between the front two teeth. Also, the type of person who is prone to nail and finger biting may also be prone to picking at their gums. Some dentists and physicians recommend putting a non-toxic, unpleasant-tasting lotion in the fingers. Other believe putting a bandage on a finger could serve as a reminder and deterrent. If you have a nail-biter in your house or you are yourself a nail-biter, talk with your dentist about ways to break the habit.

Q: Can nail-biting pose any dental problems?

Beth McDonald is a wife and mother and works full time in Des Moines.

T he Iowa State Fair just wrapped up, and I hoped to be sharing with you a

blue ribbon cookie recipe, but unfortunately my recipe did not win this year. I am going to share my recipe anyway because my family and everyone else who tried these cookies before I submitted them to the fair loved them. If you have not entered any-thing into the state fair or any food contest, it is nerve wracking. I spent six months trying to perfect my cookie recipe, making several different versions of it. One of the biggest challenges was reviewing the classes and reviewing all the rules for the food contests. What should have been the easiest thing to prep for the contest was the most challenging — finding white small plastic plates to display the cookies. I had to go several places before I found white plastic plates. Once at the fair, turn-ing in the cookies is a little scary, too. There were several people ahead of me in line turning in their canned items, and they all seemed to know each other and exactly what to do. The last thing I wanted to do was upset a potential judge. Once it was my turn, I got a couple of “Oh, those look good,” and I left thinking those are winners. Oh well, there is always next year. I hope you enjoy these cookies and consider entering something into the fair next year.

A t Bankers Trust, we have a longstanding history of stewardship in our com-

munity. We give via volunteerism to philanthropic organizations as well as sponsoring civic and cul-tural amenities. This tradition not only reflects our core value of service, it per-mits us to build strong relation-ships with our neighbors. For more than 95 years, we’ve rec-ognized that it is our liaison with the community that is our most valuable asset. For this reason, we are proud members of our local Chambers and advocate active participation in Chamber events. We know that the benefit of par-ticipation increases the value of Chamber membership exponen-tially. Many business professionals join their Chamber as a way of supporting their community, as well as marketing their business. They are often strapped for time because they work their busi-ness and then spend any leftover hours to promote their services. It’s those same busy people who can find a better business and marketing balance by engaging in Chamber events. Involvement shoulder to shoulder with fellow Chamber members will yield mul-tiple dividends of not only doing good but having fun and building important friendships. After all, it’s our community relationships that make doing busi-ness so worthwhile. Let this stand

as your reminder that even though we appreciate your membership, we would love your participa-tion as well. Come for the next Chamber luncheon — or one of the other many events we spon-sor during the year in Windsor Heights — and visit with others who live and work in your com-munity. Get to know people who will appreciate getting to know you and what you do.

Get to know Your Merchant Neighbor: Angie Piziali of Klassic Kids Learning CenterGetting to know your business neighbors is a new feature we’ll be sharing to help you learn more about the people behind the stores here in the area.
