WELCOME

I love Pufferbilly Days. Who couldn’t? It is everything a community festi-val should be — pageants, a carnival, a car show, concerts, food courts, bingo, a craft fair and much more. But wait one moment. How could I

forget the parade? If you are like me, you enjoy a good parade. I did as a kid, and I still do. Maybe not exactly in the ways that the Arden-Ohman

Orchestra wrote about parades in 1931 in their hit entitled, “I Love a Parade,” but I appreciate them all the same. They described “the tramping of feet,” “the beat I hear of a drum,” and how they “just wanna stand and cheer as they come.” To be honest, I drive as close as I can to the parade route and then set up a lawn chair. I don’t cheer much. And I don’t stand much either, other than to show my respect when the members of the military pass by. That’s a must. And that’s why I am also pleased to learn that a tribute to Iowans who have lost their lives in the War on Terror will

be shown in the “Remembering Our Fallen” exhibit at Pufferbilly Days. Look for details on this inside. Arden and Ohman wrote about their appreciation of the military as well, but they seemed to trade the moments of silence for cheers. “That rat-a-tat-tat! The flair of a horn! That rat-a-tat-tat! A bright uniform! The sight of a drill will give me a thrill! I thrill at the skill of anything military!” I listened to the Arden-Ohman Orchestra some more: “I love a parade, a handful of vets, a line of cadets, or any brigade, for I love a parade!” You can’t help but smile. Some who were watching parades in the 1930s apparently weren’t very cordial. The popular song goes on: “Excuse me, lady! Oh, quit shov-ing! Say, who do you think you are? Oh yeah? Thanks! Get out of the way, you mug!” With all due respect to our elderly population, we can certainly hold our own with the so-called “era of civility.” Just don’t tip over my lawn chair, please. Thanks for reading.

T here couldn’t be a better time to “Paint the Town Puffer” than the 38th annual Pufferbilly Days.

Slated for Thursday, Sept. 4 through Sunday, Sept. 7, Pufferbilly Days 2014 will have a little something for everyone. Always the same things you love from year to year, always something new and different, and always a great time to reconnect with old friends, make a few new ones and celebrate the best of Boone. “We put a lot of hard work into it, but seeing everyone have fun is my favorite part of it,” says Emily McColloch, events coordinator for the Boone Area Chamber of Commerce. “I also really enjoy getting together with all our volunteers and getting to catch up with all of them.” Pufferbilly Days has always been a time to reconnect and celebrate all that Boone has to offer. McColloch is pleased to see the interest continue to grow. “I’ve really had a lot of phone calls, reunions, and people really like to come back to Boone for Pufferbilly Days,” she notes.

Remembering our fallenPufferbilly Days will again feature plenty of old favorites as well as a few new events and celebrations. One of the most dramatic will pay tribute to Iowans who have lost their lives in the War on Terror. “Everyone who’s fallen since Sept. 11 is

honored in the exhibit,” says McColloch. “It’s just a really neat tribute to our fallen heroes.” “Remembering Our Fallen” is a special exhibit honoring the more than 80 Iowans who have made the ultimate sacrifice in Iraq and Afghanistan. McColloch is particularly pleased at the local support to bring the exhibit to Boone. “We actually had the American Legion, the VFW and the Marine Corp League all pitch in together to make it happen,” says McColloch. “We’re all very thankful that they did that.” The public is encouraged to attend the solemn opening ceremony for the exhibit at City Hall at noon on Friday, Sept. 5. Roll Call of the fallen and full military honors will be given. Guest speakers will include State Rep. Chip Baltimore, Boone County Veterans Affairs

Director Kevin Brown and Coordinator of Survivor Outreach Services Misty Stumbo. The exhibit will be open to the public at the City Hall auditorium from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Friday; 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday; and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Sunday through Tuesday. Putting a name to the men and women who have died in this conflict is a moving experience and brings home the reality of the lives lost, McColloch notes. “I hope people really take advantage of this and come out to honor the fallen,” she notes. “It makes you thankful for the life you have.”

Bands include old favorites, new soundsOn a much different note, Pufferbilly Days will take a light-hearted approach to entertainment and draw attention to hometown and central

Iowa talent with bands at the Entertainment Center downtown. “We’re really glad to feature some local entertainment, so we have Hawk McIntyre, who’s here in Boone, and then we have Vinyl Vagabonds, which is from Ames,” McColloch notes. McIntyre is just a freshman at Boone High School, but he’s already performed at venues from the Iowa State Fair to DMACC and a host of local celebrations and festivals. McIntyre is set to perform from 7-8:30 p.m. Thursday at the Entertainment Center. Vinyl Vagabonds will follow from 8:30-10 p.m. Admission is free on Thursday night. The Vagabonds feature a mix of folk, rock, blues and rockabilly music. Also in the Entertainment Center, Burnin’ Sensations will be back by popular demand on Friday Night, but to mix things up on Saturday night there will be a new band in town. Toaster is known for

playing songs that everyone knows and everyone loves to dance to all night long.

New twists on old favoritesIn keeping with efforts to make Sunday all about family, Pufferbilly Days will feature a Family Fun Day on the Eighth Street green space from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. There will three inflatables set up for kids, as well as all the family-friend-ly events scheduled throughout the day. (See full event schedule at the end of this story for more.) McColloch noted that the soft-ball tournament is also expanding this year. “Last year it was just one just one or two days, but this year it’s going to be a Thursday, Friday Saturday event,” she says. A full list of entertainment options and registration forms can be found on the Chamber website.

is the Pufferbilly Days Bike Ride. “I did some research, and I know that at one time they had a bike ride for Pufferbilly Days, but in the two years I’ve been here we haven’t, and we’re excited to bring that back and make it part of the event again,” McColloch says. Riders can choose among several different ride options. There will be a 7.5 mile Family Fun Ride around the city of Boone. For those wanting a longer trek, there will be a 34.5-mile ride to the Iowa Arboretum and back. In addi-tion, there will be a “High Roller Ride” with three stops on this poker-style route. More information about the ride and regis-tration forms are also available on the Chamber website.

New volunteers always welcomeMcColloch gives great credit to all the volun-teers who help make Pufferbilly Days a success from year to year. She can’t even begin to count the number. “Oh, that’s really hard to put a number to how many people volunteer,” McColloch says.From setting up before the festivities begin, tearing down when it’s all done and all the many volunteers in between, she agrees that the total number of volunteers must be in the hundreds. “We have everything from the brat stand to the memorabilia booth, the beer tent, the tickets — it takes so many volunteers that I don’t even know if I could put a number on it,” she says. Pete Frangos is serving as chairman for the 2014 festival. He’s joined on the Pufferbilly Days Committee by Kurt Phillips, Fenner Stevenson, Holly Larson, Waylon Andrews, John Rouse, Jessica Russell, Darcy Bosch, Randy Johnson, Ed Knight, Kellie Molitor, Ron Russell, Jon Snedden, John Leland and Mike Marquardt. New volunteers are always welcome and much in demand. For more information on volunteering, and the many volunteer oppor-tunities available, contact McColloch at the Chamber office, (515) 432-3342.

L ocal religious institutions have always hosted different kinds of events, programs and

activities to further reach out to the local and international com-munities. Hosting workshops is one of the most common ways for the institutions, or individuals within an institution, to not neces-sarily deliver the word of God, but to offer wisdom and messages that are meant for the well-being of the people in parallel with the institu-tions’ beliefs. Betty Ann Schmitz, develop-ment director at Church of the Sacred Heart in Boone, is one of those individuals who wants to share her beneficial insights to others without asking for anything in return. The “Life and Legacy Workshop” offered in the parish building is a project that Schmitz has been working on for five years. Schmitz says workshop atten-dants will realize the importance of planning their life affairs ahead of time; if something unfortunate happens to them, their family will have the information to take care of their legacies. “I want them to know that by having their affairs in order, their family will go through much less heartache, and everything will be taken care of,” Schmitz says. Schmitz will distribute a note-book to each participant and have

them bring it home to fill it out themselves. The main purpose of it is to have the participants’ wishes carried out. “If they don’t have the wishes written down, their families aren’t going to know what they want, and nothing will be taken care of the way they want it done,” Schmitz explains. The workshops have been receiving positive responses from past attendants. Schmitz says many participants came back asking for another copy of the notebook, hoping to share with their families. Schmitz says sometimes peo-ple may have the misconception that they will be asked for money and a donation if they attend the workshops. “The workshops are a service to the people who attend,” she says. “It’s not about asking for money; it’s a service to them to make their life easier, to make sure that their legacy is carried out.” The workshops are free and open to whomever is interested. Schmitz usually holds the workshops twice a year, in spring and fall. Sometimes, a third one will take place in winter. The next workshop will take place soon in fall. People who are interested may visit the church website at www.sacredhrt.org for updates.

N ASA may have put man on the moon in 1969, but think about what

Chevrolet did the decade before. Somehow, the engineers at Chevrolet back in the 1950s taught their vehicles to literally “talk” to people. Ask any classic Chevy owner, and you’ll understand that the rum-ble of those motors is still talking to them. They rumble and rattle run-ning down the road, announcing to all within in earshot that something special is about to pass by. “I’ve got two classics. One is a ’57 Chevy, and it’s my favorite,” says Terry Mittelstedter. “I like the way it sounds. The motor’s just got a really nice sound to it.” Mittelstedter bought the 1957 Chevy Bel Air back in 1992, and, while the exterior was a little rough, the engine was mostly original and in good condition. “It needed two new side glass-es; the windows were broken out on the driver’s side and passenger’s side,” he recalls. Mittelstedter also put on new chrome mirrors that he ordered out of California and new bumpers up front. The front grill was also refinished and a new grill plate featuring the Chevy emblem was

installed. “The engine was pretty much original, but I’m sure it’s been over-hauled,” he says. “I really didn’t have to do anything; the motor was in good shape, the transmission was in good shape, and the radiator was in good shape.” The Chevy had 110,000 miles on it when he bought it, and it’s gained another 60,000 miles in the intervening 22 years. “I get it out and drive it about every other weekend in the sum-mer,” he says. The original black interior was already redone when Mittelstedter purchased the car. With four doors and plenty of room, it’s a comfort-able ride. The exterior was origi-nally yellow but had been repainted black by the time Mittelstedter took ownership, and he likes the look. “I like the black with all the chrome,” Mittelstedter says. His other classic, a 1956 Ford Fairlane, originally green, had also been painted black by the time Mittelstedter bought it in 1996. Even his first car was a spe-cial ride. That was a 1969 Ford Thunderbird and, like so many men, he still misses that first one. “It would be nice to have that one again,” he agrees.

Q: Can my child’s back pain be caused by his backpack?

A: Pain can start from many places and can show up in odd locations in our bodies that may not make you think the problem is with your back. For example, sometimes hip pain isn’t due to an arthritic hip, but rather referred pain from an inflamed joint in the back or from a joint in the pelvis. Nerve pain that has a spinal culprit can present as pain in the abdomen, arm, back, chest, foot, hand, head, leg — essentially, our entire body may have a referred pain pattern. The assessment, diagnosis and treatment of pain is part of the services we offer our patients who have been referred to us. As a member of the Boone community, we are here to serve you five days a week. Visit www.midiowaanesthesia.com or call 515-212-2420 for any questions on services we provide. Initial consultation includes a full assessment and focus on customized education on your symptoms and treatment of the underlying cause, all at Boone County Hospital, usually within one business day of a referral from your primary care provider. There are no upfront costs, and most insurance plans are accepted.

HEALTH

Q: The pain in my hip must be arthritis, right?

A: Absolutely! A backpack that is too heavy, improperly carried or the combination of the two can have very detrimental effects on your child’s growing spine. It can not only cause aches and pains now, but can also lead to big problems down the road. All too often kids are carrying too much weight in their packs, and all that weight is difficult for their bodies to handle. The repetitive stress causes muscle fatigue and tension, quickly resulting in pain that will not go away with the continued load. The muscle pain is not the greatest concern, however. The large and often uneven stress to the spine can lead to or worsen poor spinal posture and abnormal curvatures in the spine such as scoliosis. If these issues are not cared for and corrected, they can lead to lifelong pain and problems for your child. Some ways you can prevent the problems caused by backpacks are to make sure your child carries no more than 10 to 15 percent of his or her body weight in the pack, and pay close attention to the shoulder straps. Broad and padded straps will greatly reduce the pressure on your child’s shoulders, reducing discomfort and potential nerve and vascular impingement to the arms. Also, make sure the straps are adjusted to fit the pack closely to the back which keeps the load closer to the center of gravity. As always, make sure to have your child’s spine checked and corrected regularly to help prevent pain now and in the future.

ENVIRONMENT

I t is an exciting time of the year for those of us with Keep Boone County Beautiful. Our

river cleanup event, the Dragoon River Romp is fast approaching on Sept. 20. The Dragoon River Romp is a Keep Boone County Beautiful event. The vision of KBCB is a cleaner and more beautiful county. Our mission is to pro-tect and preserve the beauty and quality of life through partner-ships between citizens, business, neighborhoods and government and to continue to foster pride in our County’s environment. The Dragoon River Romp, which will be celebrating its ninth anni-versary in 2014, embodies this mission. Over the past eight events the efforts of our volunteers resulted in 25.99 tons of trash being removed from our beautiful Des Moines River and its banks. Much of the trash is recycled and the remainder is deposited at the Boone County Landfill. An important part of our Dragoon River Romp is the safe-ty measures involved. Volunteers are given safety instructions prior to going out on the river or out on the buses for land-based vol-unteers. Items to look out for that might be meth lab residue are also discussed. Also, Boone County Search and Rescue travels along with the water-based volun-teers to help with their safety. The excitement of our vol-

unteers keeps us excited. One of our local participants stated, “Apart from enjoying the day on the river, seeing another side of the county, and the camaraderie of the cleanup, I will continue to preach the message.” Some people are not com-fortable going out on the river in a canoe, so land-based opportu-nities are available to them. Buses transport those volunteers to the many boat ramps around the county so they are still along the river. Sponsors are needed to pro-vide financing or articles needed to make our volunteers day go as smoothly as possible. Plans for the Sept. 20 romp will include cleaning a stretch of the river that will begin at the Highway 30 boat ramp to the E57 boat ramp. At the conclusion of the cleanup, all volunteers will be transported back to Seven Oaks for lunch and an awards presen-tation. In a continued effort to ensure safety, volunteers young-er than 18 must be in a canoe with a volunteer 18 or older, and no one younger than 13 will be allowed in the canoes. We will limit the number of paddlers to 100 and the number of land-based volunteers to 45. Registration packets are available on the county website, www.boonecounty.iowa.gov, in the landfill office or by contacting [email protected].

RECIPE

A funny thing happened on the way to becom-ing a teacher for Carolyn

Manard. One classroom wasn’t going to be enough. And so Manard was drawn into school adminis-tration, where she can serve not just the needs of students, but the needs of teachers, parents and the community at large. “What I love about adminis-tration is the impact I can make to the system as a whole,” says Manard. Now in her 11th year at Boone Community Schools, Manard is principal at Boone Middle School and director of special education for the district. She previously served four years as assistant principal at Boone High School. A Davenport native, Manard earned her undergraduate degree in elementary education from the University of Iowa. Graduating mid-term, her first job was not in education, but as director of a facility serving mentally chal-lenged adults. “I fell in love with the special education population and decided to go back and get my master’s in special education,” she says. During her first teaching job in special education in Muscatine, an administrator visited her class-room and encouraged her to consider administration. Back to school she went, earning a sec-ond master’s in education admin-istration. She earned her first master’s from Western Illinois University and the second from St. Ambrose University. She is now midway through her doctoral program in education administration from Iowa State University and has earned her superintendent’s endorsement. As principal at Boone Middle School, Manard tries to build a

family atmosphere for everyone in the building. “I hope that students come to the middle school and feel welcome, feel supported, cared for and feel that they are chal-lenged educationally,” she says. “I want them to feel that we are a family to support them.” While middle school students are at an age when they are seek-ing more independence, Manard says parents must actually step up their parenting skills during these years, rather than holding back. “The most important advice for parents, when they think kids are getting older and don’t need their support as much, that’s not true,” she says. “The older the kids get, the more involved we need those parents to be. Kids need direction, they need guid-ance, and they need to know the boundaries.” She encourages parents to call or stop in any time with con-cerns and questions. “If something comes home and it doesn’t sound right, please call,” Manard concludes.

EDUCATION

Principal seeks family atmosphere at school

Meet Carolyn Manard

T his recipe was originally published sometime in the 1980s by Gourmet Magazine. I have made various versions of it. Sometimes I make it with home canned fruit, sometimes with canned fruit

from the store. It is good just about anyway I have tried it.I like using plums and raspberries or fruit cocktail or apricots, peach-

es and papaya as pictured. If you use red or blue fruit, the dumplings take on some of the color and are not very pretty.

My husband says he would arm wrestle for a bowl of this. It goes over very well on camping trips, because you don’t have much fuss and it is a warm, filling breakfast.

Fruit medley dumplingsIngredients4 cups of canned fruit, any combina-tion, with the juice¾ cup sugar (you can leave this out if you are watching your sugar)

Put all of the fruit and juice into a 2-quart saucepan and bring it to a boil.

Dumplings:1 cup flour1½ teaspoons baking powder1 teaspoon sugar¼ teaspoon cream of tartarPinch of salt1/8 teaspoon baking soda¼ cup shortening¼ cup milk

Directions:1. Combine the dry ingredients for the dumplings, and then cut in the short-ening. When the bits of shortening resemble small peas, make a well in the

center and pour the milk into the well. Stir together to make a stiff dough. Knead for a few minutes to bring all the dough into a ball. Roll out to ¼ inch thickness and cut it with a small cookie cutter or a biscuit cutter. (When we camp, I just pinch off a small amount of dough, and roll it into a ball.)2. Drop the dumplings on top of the boiling fruit mixture so that they cover the top of the pan, but don’t overlap them too much. Cover and cook for 10-15 minutes. If you don’t open the lid before the time is up, you should have nice, light dumplings. When they are done, sprinkle the dumplings with 1 tablespoon of sugar and ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon. For a little added touch, I some-times toast some slivered almonds and sprinkle those over the top just before serving. Whipped cream with a little vanilla or liqueur is a nice addition if you are making this as a dessert.

LOOKING BACK

F or the past 21 years, the Boone County Historical Society has sponsored a quilt show to raise

funds for the society and to draw attention to the county’s quilting heritage. The 2014 quilt show will be held Sept. 5-7 at the Boone County Historical Center. Doors will be open from 9 a.m. - 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday and from noon - 4 p.m. on Sunday. The first quilt show was held in October of 1993. It featured more than 250 quilts and more than 400 persons attended. The show’s suc-cess prompted the Society to repeat it every year following, except in 2012. First held in late September or early October, it was decided in 2000 to move it to Pufferbilly Days to capitalize on the larger crowds visiting Boone. A raffle quilt has been made each year since 1995 by the

quilter’s garage sales also have been highlights of the show. A quilt is a sandwich of two layers of cloth, stuffed with batting or filling and held together with stitching. Some quilts are tied, but many quilters consider these to be coverlets or comforters.

-ably originating in Asia. European quilting began around the 12th cen-tury A. D. Early quilts were of one color, often white, with elaborate quilted designs stitched in match-ing thread. Such quilts came to be known as “whole cloth quilts.” Pieced and appliquéd quilts were popular in the 19th century. Patchwork quilts in which small pieces of fabric are pieced together to form patterns allowed quilters to use cloth scraps. Appliquéd quilts are made by sewing fabric pieces onto a plain background forming designs such as flowers. “Baltimore

W hat is it about pizza and Friday nights that just goes together?

It started in junior high when every Friday night football game was followed by a trip to a pizza joint with friends. Win or lose, we had a great time with a table full of friends, pizza and ice-cold pitchers of Mountain Dew. In college — and this is going to reveal my age — we had pizza night on Thursdays. We ordered in to the dorm and gathered in one room with a whole bunch of girls — and a few brave guys — to watch our favorite, “Knots Landing.” (OK, so I went to col-lege in the 1980s — that doesn’t make me a fossil… yet.) Many young families I know make Friday night pizza night for the whole family. Pizza and a rent-ed movie has been a tradition that a lot of kids were raised on. It’s a great way to bring a family together for a meal without a lot of work. Thankfully, along the way, a new type of pizza arrived — always fresh, never frozen and never stacked in the back of a delivery truck. For my husband and me, Papa Murphy’s “Take ‘N’ Bake” fits our lifestyles perfectly. Our hands-down, go-to favorite is always The

Cowboy. It comes piled high with pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, black olives, a blend of herbs and cheeses, all sitting on top of Papa’s legendary red sauce. The portions are generous, which is a good thing because we love a lot of pep-peroni on our pizza.

And, since it’s “Take ‘N’ Bake,” it’s easy to dress up any pizza at home. We’ve been known to add fresh garden veggies, extra mushrooms and anything else that sounds good from night to night.

-cial, we brought an extra pizza for a neighbor who’s done us more than a few good deeds. That’s the thing about pizza — it’s a food that always brings people together. From Friday night football games, to college soap operas, to family night or a night in with the neighbors, pizza just seems to draw a crowd.

H ard to believe, but it is time to think about school again. At the Ericson Public

Library, we have many resources to help your family with homework, both in the library and through our website so you can access it conve-niently from home. One tool available is Learning Express. Through Learning Express, learners of all ages can get help with a variety of things. From kindergarten through high school to college, students can use the Student Center module where they can check out extra practice tests, e-books, and tutorials in vari-ous subjects. The practice tests are graded immediately, so students can see what they need to cor-rect and work on right away. The immediate feedback will help you see where you can improve in a variety of skills and subjects. Learning Express also has resources specifically geared toward college prep and readi-ness, career specific skill building, computer skill building and high school equivalency exam prepara-tion. This is very helpful since Iowa is no longer testing using the GED. Books on learning to prepare for the HISET test will be coming out later this fall, but Learning Express can help you start preparing now. A login is required to use Learning Express, but the account is free, so register today. You can find a button for Learning Express on the library’s homepage. Another great resource the library provides is Ebscohost. Ebscohost is a great search tool to help with research papers or

if you are interested in browsing what the latest research findings are for just about everything. There are special search engines with-in Ebscohost that are specifically geared for younger kids or those in grades six-12. You can search for different types of materials to suit your needs, from research articles to encyclopedic entries. If you have questions about how to best use this search tool, the librarians and staff at EPL are more than happy to provide guidance and instruction. You must log in through the library’s subscription to use Ebscohost; the password is available in print on the library bro-chures or you can call the library and we can provide the username and password.

To access these databases, visit the library website at www.boone.lib.ia.us Of course, we always welcome students in the library as well. We have comfortable chairs, Wi-Fi and quiet study places, in addition to the wide ranging sources avail-able to help your student get to the head of the class this year. Students can also use our comput-ers to use our online databases if they have a signed permission form to use the Internet at the library.
