Happy June! This is, so far, my best time of year. It’s warm, but not sweltering. I am really enjoying the colorful flowers that are emerging this month in my flower beds, along with the longer days to weed them! I am trying to be

more creative with my pots in both color and types of plants, so I read the container gardening tips from the Master Gardener. She has some great ideas this month.

June 2nd is National Doughnut Day. Donutland here I come. It is also National Rocky Road Day. What’s a girl to do? Enjoy! National Gardening Week is the first full week in June. I think that is so you can work off the previous days’ treats.

June 18th is Father’s Day. Dads are very special indeed. They pick you up and brush you off when you are little, help you learn to ride a bike, then a car. They are always there for you. At least my dad is for me. When school was out for the summer it was my job to get lunch ready. Dad would come home for lunch and it would just be my brother, dad and I. Mom was at work. It was nice to have just us, one on one. If you are thinking about cooking for your dad, check out the recipes. Charlotte has some mouthwatering ideas. Take time to let him know how special your dad is. (Love you Dad)

If you’re looking for something to do that is more guy friendly, head out to Hawkeye Downs on Saturday June 10 for the CR Corvettes Club’s Charity Car Show. There you will find some truly awesome old cars and owners who would be happy to tell you all about them. Some of these cars you may have even read about in our magazine.The local fairs are starting and everyone is ready to get outside and see what’s out there and enjoy the entertainment. The Irish District Music & Arts Festival start us out on June 17 on the grounds of the Shores Central Park building. There looks to be some great music as well as some fun stuff for the kids. The Freedom Festival and Linn County Fair both start the end of the month with enough going on to keep the whole family busy clear thru July 4th. Then, around the corner is the Iowa State Fair and Benton County Fair in August. More great things to see and do.

The Casey Johannes home being featured this month is truly one of a kind. The intricate detail of the design in the entry way to the massive curved staircase shows how closely Casey worked with the owners and architect Henry Dearborn to make their vision a reality. If you have a vision of what you are wanting, talk to Casey Johannes.

Check out the events going on the month in the back. There is no reason to be bored and no reason to stay inside. Get out there and enjoy.God Bless.

Casey Johannes Homes took on the challenge of an uncommon design, resulting in a truly unique two-story home, built to align with natural law and promote health, harmony, peace and abundance.

The three-bedroom, 2-1/2 bath home, located between Cedar Rapids and Iowa City in rural Shueyville, was constructed on Maharishi Vastu ™ architecture principles with an east-facing orientation, exacting dimensions and other special influences.

Another special feature of this home is noticed immediately upon entering the home through the front double-doors. A curved staircase was built off-site to precise specifications in Wisconsin, with the 1,000-pound piece maneuvered through the front door by a crew of eight and positioned into place.

Casey Johannes noted the staircase was among the complex pieces of the home that came together through his team of subcontractors and vendors, along with the homeowners.

“They worked diligently to make this home a reality,” he said of his team, adding that the teamwork between his company and homeowners Tami and Greg Pollari also was crucial.

The couple said they were happy with their choice of Johannes.

“We worked really well together,” Tami said, describing the philosophy behind the build as “open mind and open heart.”

“The complexity of the project was significant,” Greg added, pointing to detailed plans by Fairfield architect Henry Dearborn. “Casey was willing to rise to the occasion.”

Among those complexities were 76 windows, many of which take full advantage of the east-facing orientation, which is said to bring the greatest benefits to the health of its occupants, as the sun’s energy is most nourishing when it is rising, according to maharishivastu.org.

Another Maharishi Vastu principle is in the Brahmasthan, considered the silent core of intelligence, which serves as the home’s center.

The Shueyville home’s Brahmasthan features an inlaid walnut and maple wood design that takes on a 3-dimensional appearance in the flooring, while the space rises nearly three stories to a cupola, free from obstructions and lit from above.

A custom-made stained glass window, created by artist Robert Fassler of Artistic Glass, can be seen both from the Brahmasthan and the master bathroom on the second floor, echoing two windows at the front of the home and in the front doors.

Symmetry also is important to the architectural principles. Among its symmetrical features, the house includes two small screened porches, with ceiling fans and cedar ceilings to provide peaceful spots to relax with morning coffee or evening wine and watch the deer, turkeys and other wildlife outside on the one-acre lot.

With its wide front porch, Tami Pollari describes the home’s style as Craftsman farmhouse.

“It has a great feel,” she said.

The white oak floors provide a warm touch throughout the dining room, living room, office and piano room on the first floor, complemented by olive and mustard tones on the walls, and accented with white trimwork and doors. An east-facing room serves as a quiet spot at the front of the home for a meditative space.

Natural cherry wood cabinetry provides a stunning framework to the Craftsman-style kitchen, with unique green and yellow tile on the walls and quartz counter tops, including on the kitchen island. A spacious pantry and hutch are among the kitchen’s features, with the hutch counter space serving dual-purpose as a buffet.

A breezeway connects the kitchen to the laundry room, just off the entrance from the three-stall garage. A laundry chute from the upstairs bedroom is among the practical features in the laundry room, while a built-in bench provides an equally practical spot to sit and remove shoes in the breezeway.

Upstairs, the second-floor landing offers space for artwork and furniture, along with a linen closet, while a railing in the square hallway provides a balcony feel.

Two guest bedrooms feature built-in window seats with storage space, and the guest bath includes a tub, while the master bedroom connects to a spacious master bathroom with a long, backlit mirror over the double sink vanities and a large double-head shower with niches for shampoo and other toiletries. In-floor heating is especially welcome on cool mornings.

A his-and-her closet provides ample space for dressing, with IKEA storage features and custom built-in window seats; among the many attributes the couple appreciates in their new home.

“The house feels really good to live in,” Tami said. “It’s perfect for us.”

Casey Johannes Homes Building Team


By Master Gardener, Lisa Slattery

You know it when you see it...an outstanding combination of flowers planted together in a beautiful pot. When a container has just the right pairing of plants it can stop you in your tracks, drawing the inner gardener out of us, feeling the need to stop and enjoy the symmetry and design. Then there are the containers that are very pretty but without “wow,” perhaps an item is out of place or something is missing. What appeals to the senses as a beautiful container is also based on personal preference, like favorite colors and textures.

As a longtime gardener, I’ve planted thousands of containers for all seasons and I always know when I get one, or several, just right. I humbly admit I do have an eye for great plant combinations. But if you don’t have experience in putting together a striking combination, here are some pointers....

When you plan containers think outside the box. Geraniums, Spike and Vinca vine are a classic trio but not super spectacular. Classic stands the test of time, but there are so many new varieties of blooming and foliage plants that should also be explored. If you love red Geraniums, pair them with something different like deep purple Verbena, delicate white Diamond Frost Euphorbia, chartreuse Sedum or lime green Lysimachia. Yellow petunias more your style? Mix them with bright blue salvia, hot pink (or better yet pink & yellow stripped) Calibrachoa, and purple Echinacea or Coneflower. What? Plant a perennial in a container with annuals? Absolutely. Many blooming perennials are lovely in containers as are various perennial grasses, coral bells, ferns, even Hosta. Small shrubs or dwarf evergreens can take center stage in a large container. Or add tropicals like Cannas, Banana Plants, Palms, and Elephant Ear (Colocasia) for size and drama. Don’t be afraid to add something unexpected too - like Swiss Chard “Bright Lights” or flowering Chives, purple leaf Basil or variegated Sage.

Still stumped? Take photos of plant combinations that you see and like at garden centers, and public buildings and parks; or just think about what colors you like together. Think hot colors, cool colors, opposite colors, or several shades of one color. You could combine Fiesta Lantana (pinky/coral) with hot pink dahlias, double-blossom pink cascading petunias

and light pink Diascia. Purple goes great with lime green and coral is eye-catching with yellows and reds.

Look at plant form and growing habit. Mix tall spiky plants with rounded soft-edged plants and trailing plants that cascade over pot edges to give a full, flowing design. Tall and spiky Verbena Buenos Aires is beautiful and structural paired with deep pink, large leaved Acalypha, and trailing purple Bacopa.

When picking plant combinations it’s important to pair plants with similar water and sunlight requirements. You’ll have a disaster if you pair different plants that like even moisture with ones that prefer to dry out. Read plant tags when choosing your plants for water and light requirements and put like with like.

Think seasonal containers too. Tulips or hellebores pair well with pansies and pussy willow branches in spring. Flowering Kale, Mums and small gourds make a nice fall pot and winter greenery pairs beautifully with silver or gold faux berries, red ribbon and red twig dogwood branches for Winter containers.

No matter what combinations you select they’ll behave differently each year depending on temperature and moisture levels. Some summers are a test for heat tolerance while others can be milder. Containers require some maintenance and there’s no getting around that. They demand watering and fertilizing regularly. Be aware, the smaller the container the more often you will be watering.

Before planting, adhere to a few container basics such as providing drainage holes in a container and

using good potting soil. Don’t use ground soil, or top soil which will compact and starve your plant’s roots of oxygen. Containers require regular fertilization for best bloom performance. Soluble fertilizers can be applied weekly at ¼ the recommended monthly rate or you can opt for slow release fertilizers which release

a small amount of fertilizer every time the plant is watered. Always

check labels and read directions for application rates.

So this planting season, step out of your comfort zone and experiment with new plants or combinations that you’ve never

tried before.


If I’ve heard the phrase “no pain, no gain!” once, I’ve heard it a thousand times. Maybe more. It was said to me by every coach I ever played for. Repeatedly. Why is “no pain, no gain!” such a well-worn saying? As it’s true in sports, it’s true in all aspects of life. I’ve found that nothing worth having or achieving in life comes without some form of pain on the front end. If we are not willing to endure the pain from temporary discipline on the front end, we will be hit with lasting pain on the back end.

Jim Rohn said, “We must all suffer from one of two pains: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. Discipline weighs ounces, regret weighs tons.”Do you have any regrets? Rohn’s quote resonates with many, because most of our regrets stem from lack of discipline. We think: “If only I had been more diligent. If only I had been more consistent. If only I had been more persistent. If only I had been more determined.” And on and on.

Regret weighs tons, but it’s foolish to bear this burden longer than necessary. How do we get out from under it? It’s in the first half of Rohn’s equation: Take another swing at the habit of discipline.

Ask yourself: What necessary thing must I start doing today, and continue doing every day whether I feel like it or not, that will make my life better? Maybe it’s a walk around the block? Maybe it’s reading a chapter of the Bible? Maybe it’s cancelling a round of golf in order to spend the afternoon with your family? The short-lived pain of making a life changing, disciplined decision is nothing compared to the relief it brings from the pain of regret. In fact, these tough decisions result in almost immediate and immeasurable joy.

There’s a verse in the Bible book of Hebrews that refers to discipline. The writer is speaking here about how God sometimes works in us through His discipline, but these words are also true of the discipline we can use to change our lives. It says: No discipline is enjoyable while it is happening—it’s painful! But afterward there will be a peaceful harvest of right living for those who are trained in this way. (Hebrews 12:15)

Remember: “no pain, no gain!” Choose the right pain for the right gain.

Summer excitement is in the air once again as our calendars fill with fun events and gatherings. Marion Square Park is the place to be on Thursday evenings in June as Farmers State Bank (FSB) is excited to host the annual Marion by Moonlight event. The family-focused event is scheduled for June 1, 8, 15 and 22, 2017 and features a different band each week. Bring your cooler, lawn chairs, appetite, family and friends to this year’s concerts and take some time to enjoy the food and music.

The free concert series began in 1996, with an idea from Lynn Ciha who was new to the staff at FSB. She suggested that the bank sponsor a one-night concert in Marion Square Park. The event was intended to be a gift to the community and the FSB staff had no idea what to expect for attendance. When over 1,700 people turned out, they knew it was the beginning of a Marion tradition. Now, the event is a tradition for Marion and area residents.

“At FSB, we thrive on giving back to the community. Marion by Moonlight is just one of events we sponsor locally, but we especially look forward to this one since it brings so many people together to experience the magic of Uptown Marion,” says Lynn Ciha, Vice President, Marketing.

This year the concerts begin around 6:30 and ends by 9:30. The park will be full of great music and fantastic food. Local vendors will start serving at 6:00 and this year Zio Johno’s, Maid Rite, Kettlehouse, Ramsey’s, MJ’s Restaurant, and the Freeze will be on hand to provide dinner and dessert.

The music venue is different each week which offers

something for everyone and this year the entertainment will be better than ever.

Bands scheduled to perform are:June 1st: Bamboozlers – A Jimmy Buffet feel-

good type of music. They play everything from Reggae to Country.

June 8th: The Blue Scratch Band - Classic Rock and R&B that will get your feet moving with tasty bits of the Blues to bind your heart and stir your soul. (in their words)

June 15th: The LARGE Midgets - Known to bring audiences a mix of rocked-up classics,

new hits, and hard rock, the Midgets set the pace for energetic performance, playing

something for everyone, and having fun.

June 22nd: The Zachary Freedom Duo – From their website: Along with my original content spanning multiple genres, I also sing and play tunes you love from the last 60 years from artists like CCR, Van Morrison, Bruno Mars, Sam Smith, John Legend, Florida Georgia Line, The Beatles, Dave Matthews, Ray Charles, The Script, Kings of Leon, John Mayer, Garth Brooks, The Temptations, Stevie Wonder, and more. (they’re a real grab bag of awesome music)

For a complete list of FSB sponsored events, including those in Cedar Rapids, Hiawatha, and Alburnett; check their website at www.myfsbonline.com. Weather cancellations will also be listed on the site and posted on FSB’s Facebook page. The staff at FSB looks forward to seeing you there!

When I hear the words “If you build it, they will come,” immediately the famous line brings to mind the film it is from - Field of Dreams. Such is the case with a new baseball venue in Linn County scheduled to be open for play in March of 2019 - Prospect Meadows. The vision of the community, investors and the state send the same message to eastern Iowa - if you build it, we will come. The Prospect Meadows Ball Field (PMBF), as it will be known, has identified a 128-acre parcel of land that is located near County Home Road and Highway 13 in Linn County. With a design, project cost and schedule in hand, the group has received strong support from the Linn County Board of Supervisors and leased the land for $1 per year for 95 years to the non-profit organization, Prospect Meadows Inc., a 501c3 formed by PMBF volunteers.

According to Jack Roeder, President of PMBF, “It’s a great compilation of partners that are helping to make this happen.” A private fundraising drive has helped the project near reality. Two of the largest donors to date are Transamerica and Perfect Game. “In addition,” says Roeder, “Linn County, Linn County Conservation, Marion and Cedar Rapids have all given us tremendous help from the public side on the local level.” At the state level, the project has received a RISE (Revitalize Iowa’s Sound Economy) award of nearly 1.3 million in addition to a state CAT (Community Attraction Tourism) award of 1 million. State legislators have been very supportive as well. A sales tax rebate was proposed by local legislators and signed by the Governor. The legislation will make them eligible to

accumulate up to $2.5 million in sales tax rebates, based

on incoming revenue, over a ten-year period of time.

With great community support, the project is

looking to have a visible positive impact on the area, with four bases of emphasis. The first benefit is obviously adding more playing fields for youth. The second base is building a Miracle Field for those with Special Needs and Disabilities. Charlie Becker, executive director of Camp Courageous has been a big help in the development of this part of the project. The local Kiwanis Clubs has also taken the lead on this part of the project, with their outstanding donations. Miracle fields include a cushioned, rubberized surface to help prevent injuries, wheelchair-accessible dugouts and a completely flat surface to eliminate barriers for wheelchairs. In the Miracle League, special-needs players are paired with buddies who assist them and cheer them on. Every player gets to bat once each inning; every player is safe on bases; every player gets to round the bases and score each inning; and the last player in a lineup always gets a home run.

The third base in the PMBF vision is the expansion of the Cedar Rapids Kernels League of Dreams program which currently helps out 2nd and 3rd graders hoping to play ball. In 2009, the Cedar Rapids Kernels partnered with the Hall Perrine Foundation, Perfect Game USA, Minor League Baseball Charities, The Rawlings Sporting Goods Company and the Cedar Rapids Park & Recreation Department to launch the “League of Dreams,” a youth baseball program for second-and third-graders in flood-affected areas. At Prospect Meadows Ball Field, this program will be extended for kids in 4th, 5th and 6th grades. The local Optimist Clubs have stepped up to the plate to make sure these kids are not left behind and will have a place to play.

Last, the economic impact is going to be enhanced by having tournaments that will have players and families staying anywhere from one to five nights, depending on the tournament format. Research suggests that this could generate over $20 million in revenue for the community. Knowing Iowans love for baseball, I have every reason to believe that indeed, “if we build it - they will come.” For youth baseball, the disabled and special needs kids and the economic impact, it’s easy to see that the Prospect Meadows Ball Field is a win/win for all.

And yes, it’s a myth that only elderly women can get them.

Do you absolutely despise shorts weather because you have unsightly leg veins? Well, you’re not alone. More than 25 million Americans suffer from varicose veins, which are gnarled and prominent blue veins that become more common as you get older.

Here are six things you should know about varicose veins:

1. Varicose veins are caused by weak valvesVaricose veins – thick, “ropey” veins that protrude out of the legs – are stretched-out veins where blood has pooled, which occur when one-way valves don’t work properly. Probably the most common misconception about varicose veins is that people only get them treated because they are vain. Varicose veins aren’t just ugly; they’re the surface symptoms of a serious circulatory disease that affects the proper flow of blood from your extremities back to your heart and lungs.

2. Heredity is the largest risk factorPeople who have a family history of varicose veins have a higher risk of developing them themselves, as do women and those with certain medial conditions such as phlebitis (inflammation of the walls of a vein,) a history of deep vein thrombosis or past vascular or bypass surgeries. Varicose veins may also be triggered by weight gain, pregnancy or menopause.

3. How to prevent and reduce varicose vein symptomsLiving with varicose veins is not as easy as covering them up with pants and hoping they’ll get better on their own. Left untreated, varicose veins don’t get better; they get worse, and often much worse. Management includes lifestyle changes, such as exercise, weight loss, elevating legs, avoiding long periods of standing/sitting and compression stockings for more severe cases. The elastic stockings squeeze your veins and attempt to stop excess blood from flowing backwards.

4. Varicose veins can be a cosmetic issue, a health issue, or both

Vanity has a lot to do with it; you want to wear shorts in the summer but you don’t want to have to respond

to the inevitable “ohhh…what happened to your legs?” Though some might be bothered just by the appearance of varicose veins, others may actually feel discomfort. The main symptoms are heaviness, aching, tightness, fatigue, tiredness, swelling and often itching, burning, numbness, cramping and restless legs. Left untreated and ignored over time, there can be marked skin changes in the legs and poor vascular health that can lead to non-healing ulcers or wounds and even blood clots.

5. Chances of Recurrence of Varicose VeinsIf the veins are completely addressed, most people get years or decades of relief from their varicose veins procedures. When varicose veins are very large, a combination of venous ablation procedures, sclerotherapy (injecting a chemical into veins to stop abnormal flow), and phlebectomy (removal of the surface veins through small skin nicks) gives the longest lasting results. What is surprising to some people is that one type of varicose vein treatment is often not enough to completely treat the leg.

6. You have treatment options.Sclerotherapy is the treatment of choice for spider veins or smaller varicose veins. A doctor injects a chemical directly into your veins, causing them to close, and the veins will eventually be absorbed by your body. In Endovenous Ablation, the doctor inserts a very small catheter into the affected vein and a thermal fiber is inserted and used to damage the internal vein wall, causing it to seal down on itself. The closed vein will eventually be absorbed by the body. A medical adhesive can also be used to close abnormal veins.These minimally invasive procedures offer the latest advance in the treatment of varicose veins and have supplanted surgery as the “gold standard.” Laser treatments are designed to be a 30-minute office procedure; use only local anesthetic and have a high success rate of greater than 90 percent. There is no hospitalization, a lower risk of complications, quick return to normal activities, and the procedures are reimbursable by most health insurance plans when performed for medical reasons.

Power of Attorney…What You Need to KnowSometimes it is necessary for a person to grant another person the power to act on his or her behalf. Due to health issues or mental status changes, I meet with families who have to make decisions for their loved one. When I ask if they have Power of Attorney for their loved one enacted the answer is always “Yes, I am the Power of Attorney”. Little do they know that the document they hold may not give them power to do anything until it’s activated. There are so many hoops to jump through and understand in a short time when an emergency takes place. Not to mention all the different terms we hear; Durable Power of Attorney, Medical Power of Attorney, General Power of Attorney and Limited Power of Attorney. It’s so important for families to understand the basic rules when it comes to holding the responsibility of Power of Attorney. Let’s get you started on the right track.An individual needs to have both a Power of Attorney for Finances as well as a Power of Attorney for Healthcare. These are two separate documents. Today you can find these documents on Google and download them to your computer. Research the differences or contact a lawyer if you are unsure of what yours covers. The typical wording in a POA document states “This power exists only when I am unable, in the judgment of my attending physician, to make those health care decisions.” It is important to review your POA and know that in this situation the physician must sign a letter confirming the diagnosis/status before the Power of Attorney is legally activated. This is simple to accomplish but most people don’t know they need it.Depending on the situation the family might want the Power of Attorney to take effect immediately and to remain in effect even upon disability or incapacity of the loved one. When creating your Power of Attorney you do have the option of activating the document immediately. Life throws us curve balls. It is so important to have documents like your DPOA and POAH in place before they are needed. We encourage you make an asserted effort to understand the requirements that must be followed in order for them to be useful in your time of need.This article is for general informational purposes. Before you utilize any legal form, you should have it reviewed by a lawyer in your jurisdiction to be sure that it meets your legal needs, and will be held valid by a court in the jurisdiction where you reside.

If you have ever heard the term “It takes a Village,” you can envision the cooperation between the Friends of Cedar Lake, the City of Cedar Rapids, Alliant Energy and Linn County working toward the goal of revitalizing Cedar Lake. It all began in 2013 when Felicia Wyrick, along with Dale Todd, former Cedar Rapids Parks Commissioner and City Council member, formed a group called Friends of Cedar Lake. The diverse group is made up of neighbors, anglers, naturalists and community members who want to see the lake restored to enjoy today and for generations to come. The master plan for the project has been finalized and lays the groundwork for bringing new life to the lake.

“We have been doing outreach in the community for more than three years to change the perception people have of the lake. The results from the IDNR’s Phase II study confirm what we’ve always thought. There is work to be done but there isn’t anything that can stop us now from moving forward to restore the lake to the community asset it can and should be.” Dale Todd, President, Friends of Cedar Lake

Cedar Lake was once believed to be toxic due to high chemical levels, but was removed from the Iowa DNR’s “Impaired Waters List” in 2015. This upgrade, along with the Phase II environmental test results, will continue to improve perceptions of the lake.

The current owner of the lake, Alliant Energy, is in negotiations to transfer ownership to the City of Cedar Rapids as early as this summer. This will allow the publicly held lake to apply for the IDNR Lake Restoration Program and other state and federal grants.

The entire project is a tale of cooperation and combined effort by many entities and community members. Additionally, ConnectCR was formed to combine the Sleeping Giant Bridge restoration in conjunction with the lake revitalization for fundraising purposes. A capital campaign will kick off this fall to raise funds for the projects. Former Cedar Rapids Mayor, Lee Clancey, and local businessman Mike McGrath have agreed to co-chair the fundraising campaign for ConnectCR.

“The trail around Cedar Lake is the hub of our urban system. It has a natural connection to the Third Street

biking corridor that leads to the NewBo and Czech Village

neighborhoods. The completion of the iconic Sleeping Giant Bridge will solve the pinch point in the 100 miles of trails that extend from Cedar Falls to Iowa City, positioning Cedar Rapids right in the middle of the growing sector of biking tourism in Eastern Iowa and beyond. This project will be a game changer for our community.” Felicia Wyrick, Outreach Chair, Friends of Cedar Lake The Sleeping Giant Bridge, a former CRANDIC railroad crossing damaged in the flood of 2008, is located just around the river bend south of Czech Village. Restoring the structure will be a great benefit to the surrounding neighborhoods as well as having the potential to become a regional recreational destination. The plan includes converting it into a walking and biking bridge with a split deck to accommodate two-way traffic flow.

The master plan for Cedar Lake has many goals including;• Implementing a watershed management plan• Protecting the wildlife habitat• Providing more recreational opportunities for walkers, runners, bicyclists, kayakers, canoers and fisherman• Sustaining an existing community asset

Important next steps for the Cedar Lake revitalization project include getting the ownership of the lake transferred to the City and ultimately increasing the depth of the lake and preventing future buildup of sediment. The DNR is also involved with this unique urban lake project, offering their experience in restoring other Iowa lakes.

If you would like to volunteer or make a donation, please go to; www.friendsofcedarlake.com or email [email protected]. Fundraising information can be found at www.connectcr.org for both projects.

By Russ Fagle @russfagle Freedom festival is a Cedar Rapids tradition that has something for everybody. One of the cornerstones of each Freedom Festival is its musical entertainment. With the opening of the downtown McGrath Amphitheatre in recent years, Cedar Rapidians have it better than ever to enjoy outdoor music performances at the festival and all season long. This year is sure to keep with this strong tradition with a Fourth of July headlining performance of the Minneapolis-based Johnny Holm Band kicking off at 7 pm at the McGrath Amphitheatre.

The Johnny Holm Band is the epitome of the mid-western summer festival band. The band plays rock solid covers of many of any audience’s favorite songs from nearly every popular genre spanning many musical eras. Known as the Human Jukebox, the charismatic showman and vocalist Johnny Holm has been filling dance halls and festival venues since the late 1970s performing iconic classics to current popular crowd pleasers. The bands’ versatility is impressive as they play solid versions of classic songs well known to audiences. Holm’s audiences expect their favorite songs that they grew up with to be played at a high level of quality and The Johnny Holm Band delivers this in spades with a vibrant stage presence and energy. Having a roster of highly skilled, professional musicians is the only way to accomplish the formidable task of performing songs that are both well-known and often technically challenging musically. In addition to Johnny’s versatile vocals, nearly every member of the band is capable of singing lead vocals for numbers throughout their extensive song list. Folks, we are talking Adele and Neil Diamond to AC/DC. Featured for her stunning vocal ability is Johnny’s daughter, Jordan Holm. Jordan’s natural stage presence and highly skilled vocal delivery

makes her a key part of the bands’ well known and respected live

performance reputation. The band’s musicianship is tight and

top-level skill-wise, so much so that it often feels as if you are seeing a live performance of each song’s originator. Audience participation is a hallmark of the bands’ long

and storied reputation as a

band sure to win over any crowd. For people who have seen a lot of live bands, this is a skill to not be taken for granted.

While studying in college in the 1970’s to be a Special Education instructor, Johnny Holm began performing solo music shows at local clubs and venues in the Fargo, North Dakota area. In 1980, he was hired and played for 15 years at Valleyfair, near the Twin Cities, as a musical performer, honing his skills. After recording five solo albums in the 1980’s, Johnny decided to stop songwriting and recording and focus on live performing throughout the Midwest playing music the crowds knew and loved. “Lightening Bar Blues” is an original song from Johnny’s recording days that has remained a popular staple at his shows. The band has an extremely loyal following throughout the Upper Midwest that has been built over decades of performing at repeat venues and events like festivals, fairs and events. Over the years, as the band has grown to include longtime members who are able to respond and interact with audiences as a finely tuned single unit, Johnny explains his role as a “quarterback” reading queues from the audience and taking the band in a direction that will encourage dancing and crowd participation, amending set lists as needed in real-time. This is one of the reasons why The Johnny Holm Band continues, after four decades, to build an ever growing following and reputation.

The Freedom Festival will present The Johnny Holm band at the McGrath Amphitheatre Tuesday, July 4, 2017 from 7:00pm - 9:30pm. Tickets are free with a Freedom Festival button. Freedom Festival buttons are $5.00 and are available at Casey’s General Stores, Hy-Vee Food and Drug stores and at the Cedar Rapids Freedom Festival. You can contact the Freedom Festival at 319-365-8313 or www.freedomfestival.com

It’s flea and tick season, but before you bug out, contact Edgewood Animal Hospital to find out how you can prevent the itchiness, annoyance, and potentially serious health risks posed by these creepy critters.

Dr. Sarah Hickey, DVM, says that fleas and ticks are the most common issue vets see in dogs during the summer, even though they’re also the most preventable. Often an owner has used an over-the-counter flea/tick preventative that turns out to be ineffective. Dr. Hickey stresses that it’s important to choose a quality preventative and in fact, the Edgewood Animal Hospital staff recommends that owners avoid over-the-counter flea treatments for dogs.

The combination of geography, climate, and natural landscaping in Iowa unfortunately creates an environment in which ticks and fleas can thrive. And whether you and your pet enjoy hiking in the woods, boating, camping, trips to the dog park, or simply lounging in the backyard, fleas and ticks can come along for the ride. That’s why the veterinarians at EAH stress the importance of being proactive in preventing infestation from these troublesome, and potentially dangerous, insects.

Fleas and ticks can cause the following issues for pets: skin irritation and infections, rashes and inflamed skin, scabs and scales; transmission of serious diseases, such as Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and cat scratch fever; and even psychological issues due to the constant itching and scratching.

Many people believe cats are immune to fleas and ticks, but that’s not true. Fleas are also more common in cats in summertime, as are ear mites, which are parasites that live in cats’ ears. Ear mites can be spread from cat to cat and can cause ear infections and inner ear issues. Many topical flea products, such as Revolution, also protect cats from ear mites.

The veterinarians at Edgewood Animal Hospital can work with you to determine a flea and tick prevention

program that fits your needs and lifestyle as well as your animal’s. Oral tablets, which are only available from veterinarians, work very well to prevent fleas and ticks and are very safe. Spot-on treatments can be used, though it’s important to decide which one with your veterinarian’s guidance, as there are many options on the market and not all of them are safe or effective. Tick collars could be recommended based on your dog’s lifestyle.

Heartworm is another common summer parasite. Dr. Hickey emphasizes that dogs need to be tested annually for heartworm, and they need to be given monthly heartworm preventatives.

One of the factors that help fleas and ticks flourish in the summertime is the heat. This heat can present problems for your pet beyond parasites. As the temperatures rise, so does the risk for heat stroke in pets. Heat stroke can be prevented by providing adequate shelter/shade and water for pets when they’re outside. Dr. Hickey says owners also need to be aware of the temperature and avoid long walks during the hottest times of the day, and don’t leave pets outside for extended periods when the temperature is spiking.

If you notice your pet overheating, here’s what to do:

Get them out of the elements (somewhere cool)Try to give them some waterSpray paw pads with rubbing alcohol (safely brings body temp down)

Don’t try to cool the pet’s temperature too quickly (with a shower or hose, for example). And even though you want to get your pet hydrated, don’t force them to drink water.

Heat stroke can lead to shock, which can be fatal. Seek immediate veterinary care if your pet can’t stand, won’t drink any water, is stumbling, or is showing overt signs of illness..The friendly veterinarians and staff at Edgewood Animal Hospital are here for you and your pets this summer, so you can stay cool, calm, and itch-free with their assistance.

Corvette – America’s sportscar – was the creation of iconic GM designer, Harley Earl. Veterans had returned from WWII in Europe with MGs, Jaguars and other two-seater sportscars. Nash Motors was introducing the Nash-Healey to America. Earl convinced GM execs to start “Project Opel” late in 1951. The result, the EX 122 prototype, (the first Corvette), is now housed in the Kerbeck Corvette Museum in Atlantic City. The “second” Corvette rolled off the line in Flint, MI, in ‘53. Only 300 units were produced, with 200 known to exist today. They came only in Polo White, with red interior and a black convertible top, a Blue Flame in-line six cylinder engine and two-speed Powerglide automatic tranny. There were no roll-up windows and it had a fiberglass body.

In ‘54, the new plant in St. Louis was anticipating production of 10,000 units, but poor sales resulted in only 3,640 units produced. GM could have easily scrapped the Corvette then, but for three turning points. In 1955, the new 265 V8 gave the Vette badly needed horsepower, Russian-born Zora Arkus-Duntov (“Father of the Corvette”) provided needed leadership, and Ford introduced a “luxury sportscar,” the Thunderbird – a challenge to GM and the Corvette.

The Corvette was vastly improved and its popularity grew greatly. The last of the C1s, the ‘62 version, sold 14,531 units at a base price of $4,038. It was the last year for the optional power convertible top, an actual trunk until ‘97 and for “fixed” headlights until 2005. It was the first year for the new 327cu.in engine with 250, 300, 340 and 360hp (fuel-injected) options.

Duane Krob, of Shueyville, always had a soft spot for ‘62 Chevies. He purchased a new Roman Red SS Impala, 327 four-speed, later traded it to a cousin for a snowmobile, who later sold it to Krob’s son, who sold it back to Dad when he married. As for the ‘62 Vette, about 30 years ago, another of Krob’s cousins spotted a sales notice on a bulletin board at Quaker Oats. The price was right and would later prove to be a bargain as the ‘62 gained in popularity, and is perhaps second only to the iconic ‘63 split-window, in that regard. Even though it came without an engine or transmission, had a partially-functioning rearend and two

extra taillights, Duane, like the true car guy that he is, saw the beauty within.

Krob is a successful owner of Foundry Equipment Co. in Solon, and running this business since 1979 left little time for rebuilding the “basket case.” About 11 years ago, Duane decided to “make” time to get the project rolling. The body was removed and sent to Rollie Yoder, an Amish bodyman in Bremen, IN. The frame was powder coated by Rainbow in Cedar Rapids, and interior work was handled by Al Knoch Interiors, in Chicago. Sperry Engines, of Cedar Rapids, bored the 327 .030 over, installed a strong Comp Cams Thumpr series camshaft and roller rockers, along with an Edelbrock intake and two 500 cfm 4-bbl carbs, even though 1961 was the last year for dual quads in a first-generation Corvette. The engine was dynoed at 390 hp and 390 lb-ft of torque, transfers power

through a Tremec T-56 5-speed manual tranny to a 3.73 geared rearend and on to beautiful 15” American Racing Ansen Sprint wheels and Goodrich Radial T/As. It cruises at 70mph at only 2,000 rpms. Other amenities include Classic Air a/c and cruise control making this one sweet ride.

Although the finished product is very drivable and a real head-turner, Krob has only put 150 to 200 “road test” miles on it. His wife, Mydge, has yet to ride in it. Speaking of “finished products,” the Roman Red paint may be a bit of a clue to the real end of this story. Krob had to send the gas tank door from the Impala to his painter in Indiana to match the new Corvette paint. It didn’t! The Vette had to be redone. The Impala may soon be in the shop. They won’t exactly be bookends, but who wouldn’t want to have a pair of beautiful red 327 ‘62 Chevies?


What’s better than parking show cars in a parking lot? Exhibiting them on a race track! Come to Hawkeye Downs for the annual CRCC Charity Car Show on Saturday, June 10th. It will be held, rain or shine – but we have great weather ordered! Not only will there be hundreds of show quality cars, trucks and motorcycles on display, registered in 31 classes on the three tracks located there, but there will be something for everyone in the family – dozens of vendors, including items for moms and kids, along with auto artists, airbrushers and pinstripers, demonstrations and displays by our sponsoring businesses. You can also pick up some bargains at the Corvette Club’s Silent Auction and Garage Sales tables. They are open to everyone and there is no admission charge for viewers!

There will be music throughout the day with the usual “golden oldies,” plus a live band – The Compass Rose Band, playing Jimmy Buffet-style “tropical rock” and covering The Eagles, The Beatles, The Zac Brown Band, Allman Bros, country rock, etc. They will start rocking around noon on stage in the middle of the track. Nearby, you will see the “featured” cars, including a ‘35 Rolls-Royce, a General Lee replica and a super-flamed 1940 Mercury!

Another great aspect of the show is that 100% of the net proceeds go to our 4 selected local charities: the Brain Injury Alliance of Eastern Iowa, Clothe-A-

Child, the Catherine McAuley Center (for women and children) and Miracles In Motion, which is doing great work with some of our wounded warriors. Speaking of which, there will also be a display of military vehicles from the U.S. Army and the U of Iowa ROTC Unit.

There will be a 50/50 drawing, with an additional drawing for a $100 Hills Bank gift

card - big money for some lucky person. There will also be a raffle held for a $1,500 collection of top quality tools generously donated by Klein Tools, Inc., a long-time sponsor of the show. Added to the raffle this year is a second

prize - a Romantic Weekend Package, including a night at the Marriott, dinner

at Biaggi’s, massages and more. You need not be in attendance to win the raffle

items, but you do need to be there for the 50/50 and Hills Bank gift card.

To pre-register a vehicle for the show, go towww.cedarrapidscorvetteclub.com home page, scroll down to “Cruisin’ the Ave flier backside” and print a registration form. Send it as directed with your check for $15. Day-of-the-show entries will cost $20. The first 250 entrants receive a loaded goodie bag, dash plaque and free show t-shirt. Only vehicle entrants will receive a ballot for voting on all the 31 classes, however there is a Kids’ Choice Award and all children can get a ballot, voting for just one vehicle.

Eastern Iowans can savor the musical flavor of New Orleans when the Honey Island Swamp Band performs at the eighth annual Irish District Music & Arts Festival Saturday, June 17 from 4-10pm on the grounds of the historic Shores Central Park building 700 16th St NE in Cedar Rapids. The Honey Island Swamp Band is big fun on stage, while crossing many musical genres. Their performance at the Irish District Fest is hot on the heels of their April release of Demolition Day on Ruf Records, which also marks the band’s ten year anniversary.

Demolition Day was recorded at the Parlor Studio in New Orleans, teaming up with producer and musician Luther Dickinson of the North Mississippi Allstars. The album features a host of New Orleans finest musicians, including appearances by keyboardist Ivan Neville and blues great Tab Benoit on pedal steel guitar. Their sound has been compared to the Allman Brothers, Little Feat and the Band. Chris Mule provides a great slide guitar, on top of Sam Price’s deep bass, highlighted by some fine keyboards by Trevor Brooks. Aaron Wilkinson adds mandolin, guitar and harmonica, with Garland Paul setting the pace behind the drum kit.

The Honey Island Swamp Band has a reputation for having a great time on stage, while blurring the lines between music genres. Bob DeForest, KCCK 88.3 host of da’ Blues, Crawfish Circuit and the Melting Pot programs shares “They are one of my favorites. I made a point to see them this year at Jazz Fest. They bring a party with them and their fans are fun. They have the New Orleans backbeat, combining blues with country, rock and soul, resulting in their own New Orleans gumbo. Bobby surely knows from years of attending the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival.

“Concert Joe” Kennedy is another Cedar Rapids music enthusiast that makes the Jazz Fest pilgrimage yearly.

You may have seen the “I went to a show with Concert Joe” t-shirts. Joe informs “I saw them in 2010 doing a live record store promo for their “Good to You” release and again at the fest later that weekend. The band is so diverse, country, Allman Brothers, the Dead and blues, with a touch of zydeco” adding “get ready for a good time. They are a fun party band; one of the New Orleans local’s favorites, performing edgy tunes with some great hooks.”

Irish District Music & Arts Festival founder and committee chairman Tom Erger affirms “We are excited about this

year’s Fest and bringing one of New Orleans top tier and most loved bands. My wife Karen and

I first saw them in New Orleans a few years back and have made a point to catch

them every trip since. They play all the major Fest’s in New Orleans and are one of the local favorites down there. They remind me a lot of Little Feat and their iconic slide player Lowell George.”

Melbourne Florida resident and Iowa Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Perry Welch returns

to Cedar Rapids to front the Fest’s opener, Perry and the Pumpers. Welch is a Linn County

Band alumnus, who played with Stephen Miller and Elvin Bishop when he lived in San Francisco.

The Pumpers include Tom “T-Bone” Giblin on the Hammond B3, Bryce Janey on his Fender Stratocaster, with Dave Bader on bass and Troy Harper on the drums.

The event showcases great music, while empowering musicians through their Emerging Artist Program. Erger explains “This is our first year of rolling out the program and we had several applicants. Our panel of celebrity judges is in the process of choosing two winners that will receive a $500 grant each, with the winners announced the day of the Fest from the main stage.” Admission is only $10 online, $15 the day of the show, with kids 12 and under free when accompanied by an adult. Enjoy Kid Zone games and crafts. Food and drink will be available for purchase and coolers are welcome. The event is rain or shine.

Visitors traveling the extraordinary landscape of the Loess Hills National Scenic Byway also can experience a flourishing local foods scene.

Restaurants, such as The Grind Cafe and Lounge in Sioux City and the quirky Dixie Quicks in Council Bluffs, dot the byway; a new American Viticultural Area designation shines a spotlight on Loess Hills wineries and vineyards; and a “Rural Ramble” last summer took participants to meet the producers of healthy local foods.

Located along Iowa’s western border, the byway stretches 220 miles from north of Sioux City to the Missouri border in the south. Loess, or soil deposited by ice age-winds, can be found across the globe, but Iowa’s Loess Hills are unique because the layers are extraordinarily thick; as high as 200 feet in some areas. Only China has loess as extensive as those along Iowa’s Missouri River Valley.

Loess soil, while extremely fragile, can be suitable for farming. Ditmars Orchard, a Council Bluffs orchard and vineyard, and The Swallow’s Nest in Council Bluffs, with gardens producing vegetables and more, were among the stops on the Rural Ramble, a self-guided Pottawattamie County tour, where visitors learned where their food originates.

Julianna Hrasky, co-owner of Prairie Crossing Vineyard and Winery near Treynor, a tour stop, said Loess Hills are prime for growing grapes. Hillsides with stunning views provide excellent sun exposure and drainage and the loess soil “is very unique,” Hrasky said. “We feel the composition does give our grapes and wines a distinct flavor.”

That distinction contributed to the recent American Viticultural Area designation of the Loess Hills District, which spans 17 Iowa counties and portions of two counties in northwestern Missouri. The area includes the Loess Hills District Wine Trail, currently featuring nine wineries and vineyards.

Janna Feldman, co-owner of Doe’s & Diva’s, offered another stop on the Rural Ramble: a dairy farm initiated after she and her husband, Tom, discovered their daughter had allergies.

“I said, ‘I think a goat might help,’ and that’s where it started,” said Feldman, who makes soaps and lotions in addition to unique varieties of cheese from the goat and sheep milk. Cherry Horseradish Chevre, with dried tart

cherries and horseradish, is among the products produced on the farm, near Honey Creek, Iowa.

In addition to farms and food, visitors encounter spectacular byway vistas at Preparation Canyon in Monona County. Other must-see stops include the Dorothy Pecaut Nature Center near Sioux City and Hitchcock Nature Center in Honey Creek, which offer insight into the formation of the hills and the spectrum of wildlife that inhabit the Loess Hills.

History abounds at the Reverend Todd House – a stop on the underground railroad – on the byway’s southern edge; the Union Pacific Railroad Museum and General Dodge House in Council Bluffs; and the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center and Sergeant Floyd Monument in Sioux City.

Other destinations, such as unique local restaurants, serve as a draw for both visitors and prospective residents, said Mark Eckman, executive director of the Council Bluffs Convention & Visitors Bureau.

Eckman experienced that first-hand before moving to Council Bluffs when he visited Dixie Quicks in the city’s revitalized downtown. Owners Rob Gilmer and the late René Orduña started the restaurant in Omaha, but moved to Council Bluffs several years ago, featuring a blend of southern cooking with Cajun, Tex-Mex and Southwest elements and kitschy decor, such as doors hanging from the ceiling.

Customers rave about the restaurant’s eggs Benedict, towers of French toast and locally sourced menu items. Gilmer and Orduña were named the 2016 Iowa Restaurateurs of the Year by the Iowa Restaurant Association.

Along with other local restaurants, such as the iconic family-owned Pizza King, Eckman said the establishments provide visitors with a slice of life, as well as a sense of community. That was readily apparent when chef Orduña was diagnosed with cancer last August.

Katie Corzine, who worked for Orduña, said the outpouring from customers and friends was immediate. Benefits raised money for medical expenses and a steady stream of visitors stopped by to visit Orduña in hospice. Reminders of that outpouring hung from the ceiling of Dixie Quicks in the form of paper hearts on which customers wrote messages for Orduña, before his death in November.

“He touched so many lives,” Corzine said, describing Orduña as a father figure to her and the rest of the staff. “The customers are like family and the employees are even closer-knit.”
