Happy March 2020! The snow wasn’t too bad in February but that makes me wonder what kind of surprises we are in store for in March. At any rate, spring should be just around the corner. There are some great holidays in the month of March. On March 1st we have Peanut Butter Lovers Day. Make sure to try out the peanut butter cookie recipe in this months issue. March 1st is also

Peace Corp Day and World Compliment Day. I know everyone gets busy, but if we would each compliment three people today, or every day, the day would be so much happier; not only from the person getting the compliment but also the person giving it. The 2nd is Old Stuff Day. At first I was thinking the day was to purge my clothes, but it is to stop doing the same old thing every day and try doing something different. Maybe take a short trip to somewhere you have never been, or try a new activity. I think I will try doing something different that involves my garden. Check out our gardening article this month for tips on how you can get your garden started!The first Friday of March (the 7th) is employee appreciation month. You don’t have to do something huge, but something to show you appreciate there efforts throughout the year would be nice. I more than appreciate Shannon and Justin every day. March 8th is a day to mark on your calendar. Day light savings goes into effect. That usually has me confused for a couple days! March 10th is Find a Pay Phone Booth Day! I chuckle over this as I haven’t seen a pay phone in several years, but kudos to the one who does. Kids these days do not know the struggle of a pay phone!

Spring is in the air; a season known for transition and new beginnings. If you have been thinking about making a move in life, spring is a great time. There are many things to consider when deciding to sell your home, and when you have made the decision to sell, you want the experience to be pleasant and give you reassurance. Working with a Realtor will help make the process much smoother as they will be able to make suggestions on how to make your particular home easier to sell.

A good place to start is to make sure your home is at its best. Just as there are many things you can do to improve your chances of selling your house at a great price, there are an equal number of things that will drive potential buyers away.

•Lowcurbappealcandiscouragepotentialbuyersfromeventakingalookatyourhome. Start with cleaning up the yard of any debris, including cleaning the gutters. Trim back the shrubs, edge the walkways, and see that any flower gardens look their best. Bicycles, lawn mowers and tools should be neatly stored in a shed or in the garage. Check that you don’t have any peeling paint; and properly clean the siding, windows and front entry door. An unattractive, dirty front door and a messy lawn, creates an immediate negative impression of the home.

•Remember, you are selling your home so you wantpotentialbuyerstobeabletoseethemselveslivingthere.Bold and offbeat color schemes may suit your tastes, but your potential buyer won’t agree. There is really no chance their style and furnishings will match. Strongly consider replacing soiled, outdated or bold colored carpeting. Installing new carpet with a neutral color will allow buyers to see the potential of filling the room with their belongings. Busy wallpaper is also not suggested. Too many patterns can be distracting and can date your décor. Consider removing wallpaper. Do not paint over it because it will not look the best. Take the time to remove the wallpaper and use a light, neutral color on the walls. With some new carpeting and a fresh coat of paint, the house will look renewed and ready to move into.

•Makesuretoletthelightin.Increase the wattage of the bulbs and open the drapes. Dim lighting can create a depressing environment for prospects. You want your home to be bright and welcoming.

•Bathroomsandkitchensmustalsosparkleandlaundryfacilitiesneedtobetidy. No one wants to see your dirty dishes or all of your bath products. Counters should be clean and clutter-free, and any left out products neatly put to the side. Do a deep cleaning of these areas.

•Wetbasementsareacauseforconcernastheycanindicate foundation leaks. Damp basements can be a sign of poor ventilation, plugged drains, improperly positioned downspouts, or high humidity. Fix the problem, and then remove any mold or mildew that may have appeared as a result of dampness.

•Asmellyhouseisnotanattractivehousetopotentialbuyers.Pet, mildew, smoking and/or baby diaper odors, are an immediate turn-off. It’s also one of the primary things that sellers do not consider. Many people do not realize that they have an odor in their home. After you have finished your deep cleaning and updating, ask an honest friend or family member to come give your home a once thru.

•Whenyouarehavingashowing,leave;andmakesuretotakeyourpetswithyou.When someone is looking at your house they may feel awkward looking around if you are hovering over their shoulder. Potential buyers won’t feel comfortable talking about the potential the home has and possible changes they would make if you are in ear shot. Working with a Realtor provides a chaperon for your home during showings without intimidating your buyer.

Most of these fixes are simple and inexpensive to implement, yet can have a major impact on the potential sale of your house. Address any of these issues that are present in your home before you list it for sale.

Our pets can often be the stress reliever we need on a rough day, but sometimes their unwanted behaviors can be the creators of that stress unless given the specialized attention needed. If you

are thinking your pet might benefit from some extra attention, Bark Busters may be the answer you’re looking for. Bark Busters Eastern Iowa is part of an international dog training company that has been operating for more than thirty years.

Locally in Eastern Iowa, Janie Fairchild has been active with her Bark Busters franchise since 2007, but there is much that led up to and influenced Janie’s interest in working as a dog trainer. It was in the early 90’s when Janie found herself living alone, thinking an “intimidating” dog might be a good idea. So she acquired a Rottweiler puppy and named him Atlas. According to Janie, “He all-too-quickly grew into his name, becoming a 150 lb., lovable, happy-go-lucky dog who jumped on everyone he saw, licked people with gusto, barked at everything, tried to sit on laps at every opportunity, pulled with incredible strength when on walks, and basically controlled everyone and everything around him.” Janie needed help - she knew that. She sought out training and after three separate attempts to get control of her dog Atlas, she gave up. When he died just before age 10 with fluid around his heart, Janie was inconsolable. “Somewhere in the back of my mind I wondered what my best buddy Atlas would have been like if only I’d known how to be a good dog owner. If I’d set up rules and enforced them. If I’d shown him that I was his protector instead of encouraging him to be mine. I’d seen with my own eyes, that treat training, though it might work with some dogs, didn’t work with Atlas. And I would never use harsher means to gain control of my best friend.”

That’s when Janie stumbled upon Bark Busters and was immediately intrigued. She got in touch with them, planned a meet and greet and has never looked back. “I purchased a franchise that now covers the majority of Eastern Iowa so I’m kept busy doing something I LOVE,” says Janie.

Backed by a written guarantee, Bark Busters is the only dog training company to offer lifetime support. The guarantee is unique to the industry and is designed to give the dog owner peace of mind with the knowledge that ongoing support is always available. The training methodology was developed in Australia and is a simple, natural communication that establishes the owner as

the boss. When this is in place, dogs will typically make dramatic behavior improvements, sometimes within a single 2-3 hour session.

Bark Busters is different from other training in many ways - most notably that training is done in the home. With a 97 – 98.8 % (or 4.9 out of 5) success rating, Bark Busters has created a solid working model for dog behavior that is based on how a dog thinks and communicates. The Bark Busters trainer replicates the canine communication model that incorporates body language, voice tone, timing, etc. By using this model, the trainer and dog create a reciprocal understanding that enhances complete learning.

If you have a dog (any dog, any age, any issue) Janie is happy to help. “Dogs are my passion. They are the most amazing creatures on Earth and deserve our best efforts to give them a good life. Don’t live with a dog that is out of control. Your dog doesn’t like chaos any more than you. Don’t get rid of a dog that has issues you’re at a loss to fix. It isn’t that difficult if you’re willing to learn how to communicate with your dog in a way he understands. I can show you how to ‘talk dog.’ I can help you become the teacher/trainer/leader for whom your dog yearns,” says Janie.

A recent testimonial from a client: Chester, a 2 year old Irish Doodle had these issues: hyperactivity, barking, jumping, separation anxiety, chewing, recall, attention seeking and puppy management.

“We admit we were somewhat skeptical of anyone’s ability to train a dog in a 3-hour session, but after Janie spent Saturday afternoon with us, we have since changed our minds. We are amazed at how our dog, Chester, quickly learned and how he continues to be obedient to us as we use the skills Janie taught us. He is a different dog and we are over-the-moon thrilled! Thank you, Janie, for all you did to help us become better dog owners. We will definitely recommend your service to anyone having doggie dilemmas.”

Bark Busters Training will help with any issue including:• Chewing• Nuisance barking• Aggressive behavior• Pulling on the leash• Jumping up• Separation Anxiety• Basic obedience• And others


Get Ready to SproutBy Tina Patterson, Linn County Master Gardener

Don’t know your rosemary from your rototiller? Want to get your fingers in the soil but don’t know where to start? No need to sink a ton of money into a new hobby, you can try out gardening on a small scale and let your love for it grow and bloom. Whether flowers or veggies, you can get your green on pretty simply with a few outdoor containers or a sunny spot of land, some seed or seedlings. It’s easy, fun and rewarding.

For many Master Gardeners, our love of gardening started with a snip of a houseplant shared by a friend. We rooted it or planted it and began a love affair with dirty fingernails and the aroma of loamy soil. Some of us caught the grow bug way-back-when with a Dixie cup of bean sprouts. However the garden muse struck us; we all started generally the same…knowing nothing.

You do need a sunny spot outdoors, and start small, a 3’x 3’ plot or raised bed is perfect. Even a container garden will work, but no more than 6 or 8 pots so you’re not overwhelmed. The size of your first garden is important because you need time to devote to weeding and care. Starting small will still allow for plenty of flowers or some easy veggies like lettuce, radishes, green beans, and snap peas.

The soil you choose is important. If you’re using pots for your garden, use a nice

soil-less potting mix, containing fertilizer and perlite or vermiculite

and peat moss. Moisten with water before planting. The mix

should be crumbly, hold together when squeezed, but not dripping

with water. If the pot is especially large, you can fill the bottom half

with rinsed out milk or soda jugs that won’t compost, then fill with the rest of your soil. Make

sure there’s plenty of drainage holes in your container. If you’re planting in garden soil or a raised bed, you might amend the soil by adding in compost and peat moss, mixing well, to make your soil nice and rich.

Now just add seeds, right? Not so fast. Choose your plants carefully. Read seed and plant labels to see if the varieties you want to plant are compatible with your space. If this is your first garden, it might be easier to purchase starter plants grown in a greenhouse instead of seeds. This is particularly helpful with seeds that need a head start indoors before planting them in the garden. However, some veggies do best when seeds are directly sown like lettuce, carrots, and radishes. Do a little reading beforehand. Seed packages have tons of information and details about when and how to plant and if the seeds need a little prep work. Some need to be soaked to soften before planting, but the package will tell you. If that’s a requirement, a day or two between damp paper towels will usually help the seeds to start sprouting. Seed packages will also tell you planting depth and spacing and whether or not they’ll need to be thinned out once they poke up. Also check package for proper planting time, a range of dates is provided. The dates will guide you to plant when soil temperatures are right for that plant.

Watering seedlings properly is important. Water regularly but don’t overwater and try to keep foliage dry to avoid mildew or mold. “Damping off” is an actual pathogen that causes young seedlings to die if they’re too cool or too damp. Once the seedlings grow a set of mature leaves, they’re tough enough to stave off the pathogens. An average of 1 inch of water per week is a good guideline for the garden.

Some veggies need additional support throughout the growing season. Climbing beans and peas need a light support, while cucumbers and squash need a more substantial support system. Go back to the seed package for maturity date, not all veggies produce at the same time.

Patrol your little garden regularly, pick weeds as they sprout and keep an eye out for pests.

You’re now ready to go forth and garden. Have fun and experiment. Oh, and welcome to the happy group of dirt diggers.

Baking the dough:Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.Oil a cookie sheet.Press the dough out onto the cookie sheet and let rest for another 20 minutes. We like to make a rectangle shape in about an 1/2 inch thickness.Use your fingers to poke indents into the dough and spread the oil and garlic mixture from Step 2 in directions. This is where you can also top with other ingredients like olives, capers or tomatoes if you’d like.Bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Chewy Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies You Won’t Want to ShareJust seven ingredients needed to make this blissfully good cookie!

I love me a peanut butter cookie. But I like chewy cookies -- not the crumbly ones (unless I am putting on top of ice cream or yogurt!) If you’re like me and like yourself a chewy cookie, you are going to love these peanut butter cookies. Enjoy!

Ingredients:1 cup peanut butter1 cup sugar1 tsp vanilla extract2 eggs1/4 cup flour1/4 cup oatmeal1 tsp salt

Directions:Preheat oven to 350 degrees.Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.Mix together peanut butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and eggs until blended well.Add remaining ingredients and mix until combined well.Roll dough into balls and place on cookie sheet.Press down with fork vertically and horizontally to make the traditional peanut butter hashmarks.Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes (depending on how big you roll your cookies).Let sit on baking sheet for 1 minute before transferring to cooling rack or plate. Yields 12-16 cookies

Cauliflower rice is a low-carb alternative to real rice and packed with a number of antioxidants and vitamins. No wonder it’s all the rage. Riced cauliflower is incredibly easy to make and can be used in many different dishes that call for rice. Here is our simple recipe for cauliflower rice and our 5 favorite ways to serve it up:

Simple Riced Cauliflower

Ingredients:Head of cauliflower (or more if you’d like to freeze some!)

Directions:Cut cauliflower into quarter pieces and remove inner core.Break apart the cauliflower into large florets.Transfer to a food processor with blade attachment and fill with about half of your cauliflower.Pulse until cauliflower is about rice size.Remove and start second batch.

Notes:You might have a stubborn piece of cauliflower in

each batch that won’t pulse. Pull those out and put back in later to avoid pulsing the rest of the rice too long (and making it too fine).

Riced cauliflower can be frozen for up to three months.

Our five favorite ways to use riced cauliflower:

1. Make sushi with cauliflower rice instead of sticky rice. Just steam for a few minutes in the microwave and let cool.2. Add cauliflower rice to your favorite soups.3. Steam your cauliflower rice with a little olive oil, chicken stock, and cilantro and use in place rice in your burrito bowls. 4. Swap couscous for cauliflower rice. Saute for a few minutes with a bit of olive oil, chopped garlic, and basil. Finish with grated Parmesan.5. Substitute the rice in your favorite stuffed pepper recipe for cauliflower rice. Just stuff and bake!

The list goes on... fried “rice,” cabbage rolls stuffed with “rice,” or heck... just eat as “rice” and top with a dab of butter and soy sauce!

Easy Focaccia BreadErika Veduccio Macaroni Kid EATS

We love to add sliced olives and/or capers to the dough before baking. The brininess pairs well with rosemary and olive oil and adds different layers of flavor to the focaccia bread. We love bread with a little attitude!

Ingredients:3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil1 1/2 cups warm water3 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)1/4 teaspoon sugar3 cups all-purpose flour1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt1 tablespoon chopped thyme1 tablespoon chopped rosemary1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper2 garlic cloves, finely minced1 tsp garlic clove, finely minced

Optional ingredients: Chopped olives • Sliced tomatoes • Cheese • Capers • Sun dried tomatoes

DirectionsMaking the dough:In a medium size bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic, thyme, black pepper, and rosemary.In a small bowl, mix 1/4 cup olive oil and 1 tsp minced garlic. (Oil and Garlic mixture)In a large bowl, combine the water, yeast, and sugar. With a whisk, mix together. Let the mixture sit for 8 minutes. Mix the flour and salt, then combine with the olive oil mixture and the water, yeast, and sugar. Mix with a wooden spoon.When the dough comes together like a ball, flour your surface and knead the dough 10 - 15 times.Oil a large bowl. Add dough, then cover the bowl with a warm, wet towel and let the dough rise for about 1 hour. I like to have the dough in a warm part of my kitchen but not in the sun!


By Shannon McGraw

We can’t always find a position for all the important people in our lives for our wedding day, but there are many ways for our loved one’s to contribute. The following are some great ideas to make everyone feel important.

Reader: Ask a special friend to recite one of your favorite poems or passages in the ceremony. This will make your friend feel special and add a personal touch.

Distributor: Children often want a place in your special day. They are a great help for passing out programs, hymnals, directions to the reception, and of course the traditional rice or birdseed for the bride and groom to wear on their way out.

Greeter: Aunts and Uncles and family friends make great greeters. Greeters direct guests as they arrive to the reception. They steer them towards the guest-book, the gift table, and the cocktail area.

Snapshot photographer: This is a great job for the older kids. Have them take pictures of guests as they arrive and all the fun on the dance floor. These are often the goofy pictures that will make great scrapbook pieces.

Toastmaster: Ask a few loved ones that know you both well, to make a short tribute. Pick those that are comfortable speaking in front of a crowd and know the meaning of a few words.

Reception Manager: It is a good idea to have someone you trust, be a reception manager. You will have many vendors and they will arrive at your reception hall at different times. You will need to have someone at the reception venue to let the vendors in, direct them to there

station, and to take care of any last minute details. This person will need to arrive at the reception before all other guests to make sure that all is in order before the bride and groom arrive.

Personal Assistant: Sometimes planning the big day and making sure that everybody is taken care of, leaves the bride-to-be a little worn? It is a good idea to have someone you trust be a personal assistant to you. This is your day and you want everything to be perfect. This assistant should have your highest trust and confidence, be very understanding, and know you very well.

There are many plans that must be carried out for you on your wedding day. Don’t hesitate to ask those that love you for a little help.


What should be expected from a DJ at the wedding reception? Choosing a DJ is very important. The DJ will set the tone for your reception, so it’s a good idea to interview DJs well in advance to make sure they are the appropriate personality for your reception. Talk about what kind of music you would like played and what your expectations are for the evening. The DJ you choose should dress appropriately, be set up and ready before the event starts, make the introductions and announcements, and coordinate with the caterers and photographers to ensure the event runs smoothly.

Gratuities are meant to show your appreciation for excellent service. The question is, how much. Often gratuities are included in the bill so it’s best to ask the vendor when hiring them if the tip will be included. If your tip is included, then it’s up to you if you would like to tip extra. If a particular server has been very attentive to you throughout the evening and you feel that they deserve an extra tip, it is quite appropriate; however, it is not required. If it has not been included, the customary amount would be 15 percent.

Other tipping suggestions:Florists, Photographers, Bakers, Musicians: Tipping only for extra special services, up to 15 percent.Clergymen, Rabbis, Priests: No less than a $75 donation is considered proper and it is rare to find anyone giving less than a $100. This should be given to the best man prior to the ceremony. Following the proceedings, he then gives it to the officiant. If travel is involved, an additional gratuity is appreciated. Organist and Musician: Fees for church organists and musicians are often included in the rental fee for the church. When this is not the case, a gratuity of $50 for each person would be appropriate. How do I handle a guest that has had too much to drink?You want your guests to enjoy themselves but sometimes drinking personalities do not mesh and you certainly wouldn’t want anyone getting in an

accident on the way home. Whether you have an open bar or a cash bar, it’s a good idea to instruct the bartender to do the same as is done in restaurants, lounges, nightclubs and taverns; that is to simply say, “I’m sorry sir/madam, out of concern for your safety and personal wellbeing, I am instructed not to serve you any more liquor. I’m

sure you understand. Can I get you a soft drink or a cup of coffee instead?” There is never a guarantee that some hurt feelings or embarrassment will not arise, but that will certainly be the lesser of the two evils. The important thing is that you will be able to rest easy, with a clear conscience, knowing that no one was hurt as a result of having too much of a good time at your wedding.

Is it ok to ask the bridesmaids to purchase their own dresses or is that for the Bride to do?It is customary for the bridesmaids to pay for their own dresses. However, the bride should use consideration when selecting bridesmaid dresses to ensure that the cost is reasonable. If the perfect dress is over your bridesmaids’ budget, the bride should contribute to the cost of the dress.

How far in advance should I order and break in my shoes?You will want to order your shoes well in advance to ensure they will arrive in time for your first wedding dress fitting, about four months. It is also best to shop for shoes in the afternoon when your feet are most swollen. To break in your shoes before your big day, wear them around the house for a week or two but for no more than 15 minutes a day. And, scuff the soles so that you won’t slip.

My veil arrived folded up in a box and now it’s all creased. How can I get the wrinkles out?If you’re working with a bridal shop or salon, they should be able to steam the creases from the veil. If so, make sure to pick the veil up yourself in a garment bag, to ensure it stays crease-free. Otherwise, take it to a reliable dry cleaner that can iron out the problem.


Going into 2020 we will see couples continue to move away from the traditional sit-down plated meals to a less formal style. Buffets will still be an important option with food stations taking a more prominent role. We will see multiple food stations available throughout the event with many styles of food at each station. Regional foods will be the most sought-after menu. As the night continues, those food stations will be changed out for snack items that will be available then throughout the night.

Free-from foods will be a big part of the menu this year. In some cases, the entire menu will consist of free-from foods in order to accommodate guests with food allergies and those who are just trying to eat more healthy foods in general.

Another growing trend will be signature mocktails, featuring the preferences of both the bride and groom. Drink stations will be very popular.

Coffee stations will also be a hit with the young couples and their guests.

We will see less traditional wedding cakes and more of a sweet treat variety platter of different cupcakes, cookies and pastries.


This year will mark the 45th Annual SaPaDaPaSo St. Patrick’s Day parade celebration in downtown Cedar Rapids. Each year this non-profit organization, made up completely of volunteers, puts together an amazing parade celebrating Irish heritage. A panel of judges are selected; usually consisting of well-known people from our community. The judges are responsible for judging the parade entries in a variety of categories such as best costume, best Irish theme, and walking entries. Memorial awards are also given honoring past members of the Sapadapaso organization. Family members help select those awards.

Every year prior to the parade, SaPaDaPaSo members also nominate an Irish Colleen. The Irish Colleen is an extra touch of class for the parade. She is a young girl of Irish decent, who is selected by a panel of judges, based upon a questionnaire and submitted photo. She serves as a hostess at the Irish Hooley, rides in a convertible during the parade, and helps distribute awards at the after-parade celebration. This honored position is a position of prestige in the Irish community.

The official post-parade celebration and awards ceremony this year will be held at the East Bank Venue & Lounge located directly on the parade route, at 97 3rd Ave SE, immediately following the conclusion of the parade at around 2pm and runs until about 6pm. All ages are welcome to this free event! The judges’ results will be available at approximately 4:30pm.

Come out and join in on the fun! Enjoy music with a DJ, and beverages and food will be available for purchase.

St. Patrick’s Day Fun Facts•St. Patrick’s Day is observed on March 17 because that is the feast day of St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. It is a worldwide celebration of Irish culture and history.

•St. Patrick’s Day is a national holiday in Ireland, and a provincial holiday in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador.

•34 million Americans have Irish ancestry, according to the 2003 US Census. That’s almost nine times the population of Ireland, which has 4.1 million people!

•The harp is the symbol of Ireland as is the color green, commonly associated with Ireland, also known as the ``Emerald Isle.”

•The Irish flag is green, white and orange. The green symbolizes the people of the south, and orange, the people of the north. White represents the peace that brings them together as a nation.

•The name “lephrechaun” has several origins. It could be from the Irish Gaelic word “leipreachan,” which means “a kind of aqueous sprite.” Or, it could be from “leath bhrogan,” which means “shoemaker.”

•In Ireland on St. Patrick’s Day, people traditionally wear a small bunch of shamrocks on their jackets or caps and the children wear orange, white and green badges.

•Dublin, the capital of Ireland, has a huge St. Patrick’s Day festival from March 15-19, that features a parade, family carnivals, treasure hunt, dance, theatre and more.

•In the US parades are often held on the Sunday before March 17. Some paint the yellow street lines green for the day and in Chicago, the Chicago River is dyed green with a special temporary dye. There has been a St. Patrick’s Day parade in Boston since 1737 and Montreal hosts Canada’s longest running St. Patrick’s Day parade, which began in 1824.

•For every four-leaf clover, there are an estimated 10,000 three leaf clovers.

•Legend says the first leaf is for hope, the second for faith, the third for love and the fourth for luck!

This month, we created the Triple Decker Corned Beef Special, one of my family’s favorites that is requested every year for lunch on St. Patrick’s Day. Perhaps not

a traditional “lucky” food, but one that is extremely delicious and made

with just five ingredients! Plus, it’s easy to make this corned beef sandwich ahead

of time, wrap up and put in the cooler before you head to the parade...

or consume as a snack for us big kids after a little celebrating with “Shamrock the Leprechaun.”

Triple Decker Corned Beef SpecialIngredients:•Thinly sliced corned beef

•Thinly sliced Swiss cheese•Marble rye sandwich bread

•Thousand Island dressing•Your favorite prepared coleslaw

Optional: I like to add a pinch of caraway seeds and fennel seeds to my coleslaw. It really compliments every element of the sandwich.

Directions:• Layer in this order: bread, dressing, meat, cheese, meat, coleslaw, dressing, bread. Repeat again, and finish with the last piece of bread.• Slice in half and serve with a dill pickle.We hope you enjoy this quick and delicious sandwich on St. Patrick’s Day -- or any day!

Article and Photography by Richard Butschi

In 1963, Chevrolet introduced their second generation pickups as “C/K”s, which indicated that there were really 2 lines. The “C” pickups were 2-wheel drive, while the “K” models were 4-wheel drive. The numbers 10, 20 and 30 indicated whether they were 1/2T, 3/4T or 1 ton trucks. The first generation trucks used 3100, 3200 and 3300 to designate their hauling capacity. In ‘67, GM dubbed the new line as the “Action Line” - indicating modern styling and something other than a utility vehicle. The C/K label was used until 1999, when the Silverado was introduced.

The Action Line vehicles were good looking pickups and caught the eye of a young Danny Vandaver, growing up in Rowley, IA. A friend of his had one, and at age 12, he vowed that he would someday have one just like it. Of course, life gets in the way, and it was only 5 years ago that Vandaver tracked one down in Marion, this one being a 3/4T truck instead of a 1/2T, like his friend had. The previous owner had inherited it from his late father and had plans to restore it, eventually.

Vandaver has the skills to take on a major project like this and works with Dave Reed of Dave’s Service Shop in Alburnett. Danny did all of the work on this Cheyenne, other than the engine, which was built by Bill Barthelmes of Central City. As the badging on the fender reads, it is a “454” making close to 490 hp. It hooks up to a 350 TH 3-speed automatic transmission, that was gone through by the previous owner. The ‘72 has power steering and brakes (discs up front with drums on the rear), factory a/c , but no tilt wheel or cruise control. Vandaver removed the body, sandblasted and painted the frame, which then got an 8” chassis lift and later a 3” body lift. Adding that height to the 38” diameter Super Swamper tires and it’s quite a jump to the door sills.

The body needed quite a bit of work. The box was trashed, but a one was found in Wisconsin in pristine condition. The floor of the cab presented the biggest problem – keeping it square while installing the new one. Vandaver also installed new cab corners and rocker panels, along with new doors and 4 new wheel wells. The defining touch is the bright Hugger Orange paint, complemented with white.

Apparently, car-building skills run in the family, as Danny’s brother, Rob, of Mauston, WS, produces some outstanding vehicles. He currently is working on a ‘67 Chevelle for Danny’s wife, Ruby, owner of Rubies’ Bar in uptown Center Point. It will sport a 383 “stroker” engine, making about 500 hp and will be painted a beautiful deep red. Vandaver will help with the project and figures it should be cruisin’ the streets

of CP, by springtime. Danny and Ruby love to parade the Cheyenne, showing it off and tossing candy to the kids, but it sounds like they may be driving separately in future parades.

Vandaver recently reconnected with the previous owner in Marion, taking the almost-completed ‘72 there for a quick drive and a once-over. Before parting ways again, the former owner asked if Danny would be willing to sell it back to him. “Sure!”, Vandaver replied, adding the dollar amount it would take. The former owner paused, and said that he would give it some serious thought. In the meantime, Vandaver will enjoy showing, driving and parading the two-toned beauty. And as he says, “money talks”. Like many car guys, he’s willing to sell and find another project to work on. That’s where the true enjoyment is found.
