Happy June! This is such a beautiful month. The leaves are all out on the trees, the grass is green and the flowers are blooming. June 6 is National Gardening Exercise Day; so if your flower beds and gardens need weeding, this is a good day to start. If you still need plants, like me, check out

Peck’s Garden Center for a wonderful array of colors and kinds of flowers or fruit and vegetable plants to fill any bed.

Father’s Day is June 21st. A little girl’s first crush is on her daddy. A little boy follows his dad around duplicating his every move. When I was little, about five, my dad taught me to tie my shoes. He was about my only option since he is left handed, same as me, and it’s hard for a right handed person to teach a left handed one. He came home for lunch and we would sit in the kitchen and work on shoe tying. Dad taught my brother and I to water ski, which I always enjoyed. I truly appreciate him, even though I don’t tell him often enough. I love you Dad. If you are still blessed with a father, make sure to tell how him much you love him!

If you are planning on building a new home or just dreaming about one, check out the CRDR Home feature this month. Spacious is an understatement. The rooms are bright and cheery with a good sized back yard for everyone to enjoy. This house has many upgrades that make you want to pack up and move in. Thank you to CRDR and all of the great subcontractors that helped make this feature.

I am sure all of the kids are happy to be out of school and ready to get outside and burn off some of that extra energy. Check out the Hiawatha Parks & Recreation article on page 37 for some great ideas that the whole family can enjoy including the “Free Kids Movies” that start in June. It looks like a fun lineup for everyone.

There are so many great things going on this month in the corridor. Marion by Moonlight is every Thursday in June and provides the whole family and your friends with music to relax and enjoy, or you can dance the night away. The Irish District Music & Arts Festival is June 20th with headlining act Devon Allman, son of Greg Allman of the Allman Brothers Band, along with some other great artists as well. The Corvette Club will be at Lindale Mall Parkade on Saturday the 13th and is always a great time with many cars that have been featured over the years in City Revealed Magazine. The Freedom festival starts in June and has something going on from June 18 – July 4. If at the end of the day you are too tired to cook, stop by Emil’s Hideaway or one of the other restaurants in our magazine and enjoy a fine meal. Let them know you got the idea here and make them smile. You can always keep up to date with the events in the corridor on our website at: www.cityrevealed.com.

For my guy and me, we have grandchildren in Little League four nights a week and we spend the weekend enjoying the outdoors when weather permits. My daughter and her family usually hit the river with tents and sun block. Wherever you go and whatever you do, enjoy!

Article by Jane Claspy NesmithPhotography by Justin Fox

This spring’s Parade of Homes gave many visitors an opportunity to walk through one of CRDR Homes’ newest homes in the highly-desirable neighborhood near Xavier High School. With an inviting floor plan, lots of upgrades, and a soft contemporary decor, this home at 6321 River Parkway NE will appeal to growing families and empty-nesters alike.

This home has curb appeal to spare: multiple gables, bright white trim, and a wide, welcoming front porch. Stone and vinyl siding make the exterior low-maintenance as well as beautiful.

It’s easy to impress visitors when you walk through a new home’s front door, but Dustin De Heus of CRDR Homes wanted us to see what it was like coming in through the home’s spacious three-car garage. “That’s the way families come into the house these days,” pointed

out De Heus. “They don’t use the front door.”

The design of this home makes entering from the garage both welcoming and practical. The drop zone includes a bench and coat hooks. There’s also a huge walk-in closet with lots of shelves and space for hanging coats. Across the way is the home’s laundry room, near the back door, so dirty clothes from outdoor chores don’t have to be dragged through the home.

Just a few steps from this entrance is the home’s big kitchen, sure to be a gathering place for friends and family. White-painted cabinets topped with granite offer plenty of storage, and there are two full-sized ovens. In the center of the kitchen is a two-level kitchen island featuring a sink and bar-height seating for up to six people. Pendant lights shed light on the island that has gray-stained maple cabinets.

If that’s not enough room for dining, there’s a large space just beyond the island for a table, and just

through the sliding doors is a covered patio, with a cooking deck just around the corner. An outdoor stairway leads down to the large backyard that backs up to a private yard.

Open to the kitchen is the home’s great room. This room continues the home’s serene color scheme of soft browns and grays highlighted with white trim, and large windows let in lots of natural light as well as a nice view of the private yard. With a nod to contemporary design, this room is anchored by a linear fireplace with glass stones. Instead of a mantle, there’s a floating hearth below the fireplace, echoed by clean floating shelves for art works or books. Quarter-sawn oak flooring adds warmth to this room and the kitchen as well.

The master suite is just beyond the kitchen. The large bedroom has plenty of room for chairs or love seat as well as a large bed. The master bath has a clean, contemporary feeling. Floor tiles have a subtle stripe, and the walk-in shower tiles feature dimensional waves. Two sinks share a marble countertop, and dark-stained cabinets offer plenty of storage. More storage can be found in the huge walk-in closet.

Two bedrooms on the other side of the home also have their own walk-in closets--in fact, each bedroom in this home has its own large walk-in closet. These two bedrooms share a Jack and Jill bathroom, and each has large windows.

That’s not all for this home, though. The spacious lower level offers more space for entertaining or relaxing. There’s a full bar with sophisticated sleek black cabinets and countertops. Stacked stone on the wall behind the bar adds a designer touch. The open area is wired for surround sound, and the whole home has a Sonos wireless audio system.

On this floor, there are also two more bedrooms, one at either end of the floor, and two full baths. CRDR Homes has made sure there’s plenty of storage space as well, and--important in the Midwest--a storm shelter under the front porch.

With a full 3,722 square feet (2116 on the main level; 1606 on the lower level), this house has plenty of space for any family. But don’t worry; it’s also energy-efficient, featuring LED lighting, BIBS (blown in fiberglass) insulation, and high efficiency windows and HVAC system. “This house doesn’t only look great, it performs great,” says DeHeus. “When tested it received a very high rating.”

Dustin and his wife Jody, who does much of the interior design for their custom homes, are always building on their knowledge about what works best for homeowners and uses that knowledge to provide exceptional customer care and reliable home services. CRDR, a family business founded in 1974, provides truly customizable options for every need. Whether it’s this home, which could be yours for $492,000, or a new build on one of the other lots they have in this neighborhood, or a home built on a lot elsewhere, a CRDR home can make your home dreams a reality.

Radishes - Several plantings, 7 to 10 days apart, are possible. Radishes pass peak quality quickly, so several plantings are needed to provide high quality radishes throughout the spring and early summer. Radishes become spongy and form seed heads with the onset of hot weather. Fall plantings can be made from mid-August to mid-September.

Lettuce - Sow seeds in early spring. Lettuce flowers and turns bitter with the onset of hot weather. Fall plantings can be made in August.

Onions - For mature (dry) onions, sow seeds in early to mid-April. Plant sets and plants from early April to May 1. Plantings for green onions can be made from early April to mid-summer.

Peas - Sow seeds in early spring as soon as the soil can be worked. Plants stop bearing when hot weather arrives. A fall planting may be made about August 1 to 10.

Spinach - Sow seeds in April as plants become bitter and form seed heads with the onset of hot weather. A fall crop may be planted about August 10.

Cabbages - Set out transplants from early April to May 1 for a summer crop. Direct seed in summer for a fall crop.

Broccoli and cauliflower - Set out transplants in early to mid-April. Both are sensitive to hot weather so need to be encouraged to head as early as possible.

Collards and kale - Seed at the same time as lettuce and other early spring crops. Direct-seed in early July for a fall crop.

Carrots - Seeds can be sown from early April to August 1. Plant every 3 to 4 weeks for a continuous harvest.

Beets and Swiss chard - Seeds can be sown from early April to August 1. Plant every 2 to 3 weeks for a continuous harvest.

Potatoes - Best planted in early to mid-April; a long growing season is needed to produce full-sized tubers.

Snap beans - Plant any time after May 5. Most varieties will keep producing if plants are kept picked. Last practical date for planting is August 1.

Sweet corn - Plant when soil temperature reaches 60°F or any time thereafter. Last practical date for planting an early variety is July 1.

Lima beans - Plant from May 20 to June 30 to produce a crop by average frost date.

Tomatoes - Plant seedlings in mid-May. Last practical date for planting tomatoes is June 20.

Peppers and eggplants - Plant seedlings in mid-May. Last practical date for planting

peppers and eggplants is June 20.

Summer squashes - Seed mid-May. If harvested every other day, plants will keep producing until frost. Last practical date for seeding is July 20.

Cucumbers - Seed mid-May. Production is continuous if kept picked. Last practical date for seeding is July 20.

Muskmelons - Seed mid-May. There are varietal differences in the length of time from planting to harvest. Last practical date to sow seeds of early maturing varieties is June 20.

Winter squashes and pumpkins - Seed mid-May. A full growing season is needed to produce mature fruit that keep well into winter.

Watermelons - Seed mid-May. There are varietal differences in the length of time from planting to harvest. Last practical date to sow seeds of an early maturing variety is June 20.

Loneliness in Older AdultsAmong older adults there are a wide range of indicators of social isolation that pose health risks, including living alone, having a small social network, infrequent participation in social activities, and feelings of loneliness.As we age things such as the death of friends or a spouse not only limit our socialization but can often cause depression and isolation. Loss of a driver’s license can cause limitations of transportation and the loss of independence, making it more difficult to participate in social networks. A study at Cornell University found that a lack of socialization and increased isolation did indeed have physical health effects on older individuals. In my own experiences I have seen a significant decline in the frequency of physician visits and emergency room visits with lonely elders who have had interventions put in place to help alleviate their loneliness. It seems that many elders have a close bond with their physician and frequent visits curb their anxiety. Imagine the improvement in quality of life your elderly loved one could have simply by implementing interventions that will improve their socialization, engagement, and ultimately meeting their need for human interaction.Having said that, not everyone is a social butterfly and not all aging adults are easy to find interventions for. Remember, simply being around others during a meal time can make an older adult feel less lonely. Maybe you ask a high school or college student to volunteer a couple hours per week to stop in and visit or take your loved one for ice cream. Or check with your local assisted living communities to see if your loved one can be dropped off to participate in various activities throughout the week. At Ridgeview Senior Living we have “Invite a Friend Friday” the first Friday of each month. This allows older adults from the community to come enjoy happy hour beverages, live music and dinner at no charge. This allows aging adults in our community to meet new people and feel connected again.Feelings of loneliness do not have to affect your loved ones health and are not a normal part of aging. We

can help our loved ones enjoy the latter years of their lives if we understand that quality of life exceeds just meeting clinical needs.

Kathrine Moermond, Education and Outreach Coordinator for the Old Capitol Museum in Iowa City, grins as she walks through the latest exhibit, ‘The Land Provides: Iowa’s Culinary Heritage.’ She points to an object in a case in the center of the gallery. “I love that piece. It’s a coffee grinder that dates back to 1708 from the Elizabeth Hysing Koren collection at the Vesterheim, Museum in Decorah.”

Kathrine has worked at ‘Old Cap’ since June of 2006 but her history with museums dates back to her early years. “I grew up traveling and going to museums, learning to appreciate history and places at an early age,” she explains. “When I finished college I started volunteering at an art museum and I loved it. I’ve been in museum work ever since.” As for her time here in Iowa City, “I love working in a historic building and educating visitors about early Iowa history and I know that the people of Iowa City appreciate Old Capitol, its history, and what it represents.”

So what were the ‘must haves’ in a ‘modern’ pioneer kitchen?

“I think people took pride in their kitchens back then much more than today. Today, many kitchen items are made in a factory and it’s easy to get replacements or go buy a new one! Back then many kitchen items, such as bowls, spoons, and presses were made by hand.” Kathrine pauses a moment, walks over to the coffee grinder and rests her hand on the case. “I think what makes a kitchen is those ‘near and dear’ items that each of the people in the exhibit had, things they had passed down from generation to generation, and things that traveled for sometimes thousands of miles. Elisabeth Hysing Koren traveled from Norway and brought a coffee grinder that pre-dated her time and was made by hand. Having freshly ground coffee was important to her!”

Near the coffee grinder is a horseradish grinder from the Herr-Ruedy kitchen. Its beautiful design with its blue patina and well-oiled gears from over the years brings to mind a kitchen filled with the pungent smell of horseradish overpowering the air. “They were serious about this ingredient and it shows with this grinder!” says Kathrine. “Other items of high importance are the hand crank butter churn, the lard press, and the cast iron stove. Butter, fat, and a hot stove – you could make a feast!”

Kathrine points out a table-top sized bread board hanging on the wall. ”This belonged to an early Iowa

immigrant from Scotland, Samuel Yule, and dates back to the late 1830s when Yule settled in the Red Oak Township.”

With over a year in the planning, The Land Provides: Iowa’s Culinary Heritage was made possible by a grant from the Silos and Smokestacks National Heritage Area and with support from the Office of the Vice President for Research at the University of Iowa. The exhibit is offered in conjunction with the Food for Thought themed semester at the University of Iowa. “When the museum found out that the first themed semester was going to be about food, we started planning and wanted to tie-in early Iowa history with an exhibit. It gave us a chance to share food history which most of us at the museum love talking about anyways.” With the help of Byron Preston with the Pentacrest Museums and Colleen Theisen with the University of Iowa Libraries and Special Collections, along with teams of contributors from around the state, the exhibit became a work of art.

As we step out of the gallery, Kathrine turns to look back at the display and smiles. “I want visitors to see how much people, and Iowans more specifically, were connected to the growing, preparation, and consumption of food back then. I want them to be inspired to be more involved with their food preparation today whether it growing a garden, making their own butter, or grinding their own coffee—to be more aware about where their food comes from and how important it is to our health and well-being today.”

Kathrine gave City Revealed a recipe courtesy of the Cedar County Historical Society in Tipton, from the family cookbook of the Safleys from Cedar County. If you double the sugar, they are quite tasty.

Oat CakesBy Ellen Jean Hinde Talley

1 c flour1 T sugar1 tsp. baking powder½ tsp. salt2 c rolled oats½ c butter½ c milk

Sift dry ingredients together. Add 2 cups rolled oats. Cut in ½ cup butter thoroughly. Stir in ½ cup milk gradually until a soft dough. Divide into 6 parts. Roll each on floured board into a 4-inch round. Cut each round into 4 triangles. Place on greased baking sheet. Bake at 375 for 12 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned.


You can’t judge a book by its cover.” Even though this saying is true, publishers know that people do judge books by their covers. A book with a trendy cover will draw more readers than one without. While we have a tendency to judge books by their covers, designer Thijs Biersteker has created a book that judges you back. The book cover contains a tiny imbedded camera with face-recognition software. This controls a small lock at the bottom of the book. When you look at the book’s cover, it looks back at you and scans your facial expression. It is programmed to determine if you are skeptical or unenthusiastic. It will even determine if you are over enthusiastic, judging that the book will be great before reading it. If you don’t appear to be calm, interested and ready to discover, the book remains locked. This book is a reminder that if we want life to open up for us, we should not judge things too quickly. We encounter dozens of opportunities every day to make judgments. We can look at a situation and think we know where it is going. We can look at someone and believe we know what they are thinking. We can look at our spouse and believe we know exactly what they are thinking, although they never said it. We can look at our boss, an employee or a co-worker and believe we know their thoughts. Too often we make wrong judgments and it costs us fullness of life. It can even rob us of amazing opportunities. When the prophet Samuel was looking for the next King of Israel, God told him in 1 Samuel 16:7: “The Lord doesn’t see things the way you see them. People judge by outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” We need to learn to be very careful about attributing motives, thoughts, or outcomes before we see the heart of it. The past doesn’t always equal the present. The outside doesn’t always reveal the inside. An immediate impression is not always an accurate impression. How would our lives be different if we took on God’s way of looking at people and situations? If we looked at each situation and each person with a fresh perspective, free from any preconceived notions? Imagine how that approach would open us up to better life, relationships, and opportunities!

June has long been known as the month to celebrate Brides and all things weddings. And with weddings, there are lots of other parties to plan (or attend) in order to celebrate the upcoming nuptials.

I have hosted many bridal showers in my lifetime, and just like wedding receptions, they can be as simple as cake and punch receptions or as elaborate as a “pulling out all the stops” event with a sit-down meal in your home. So depending on your budget, skills and motivations, you can host a variety of wonderful parties to shower your favorite bride-to-be.

Set the date: You’ll need to determine if it will be a couple’s shower including both the bride and groom or the more traditional shower for just the bride. If it’s to be a more traditional shower, I like to set the date and time with the bride and her mother and the soon-to-be mother-in-law-to-be depending on the people to be invited. I personally like to have parties in my home and I recommend it as it will create a more personal environment that cannot be duplicated in a restaurant.

Design and send invitations: Of course you can always purchase invitations and have them printed with the information and details about the event. When possible, you may want to tie-into the Bride’s theme or colors for the wedding. I like to create and design

my own invitations and then look for interesting papers, ribbons, etc. To have the best attendance at your party, it’s a good idea to send your invitations about a month prior to the event. I always request that invitees let me know if they plan to come or not. It really helps with food preparation.

Determine the menu: The time of day you are having the party will help determine the menu of foods to serve. For example, if you are having it around 11 a.m., then you may want to tailor the menu around brunch theme. With a lot of planning and preparation done ahead of the event: as the hostess, you will be able to enjoy the party and your guests, too. For my niece, Elizabeth’s shower, we had a brunch menu. To make it special, I cut out large heart shapes out of puff pastries, then baked them and filled them with my Creamy Scrambled Eggs. I served this with roasted asparagus and smoked pork chops. I also served a Fruit Compote and assorted muffins. I made an elaborate dessert of Coeur ala Crème served on white chocolate doilies with a blackberry sauce. After all, this was for a very special niece! (You’ll have to come to one of my classes so I can show you how to make it.)

Decorate and set the table: Bridal showers are the perfect occasion to use cloth table coverings and

napkins, fresh flowers, place cards, etc. I hosted this shower at my sister’s home, and we used all of her fine china, silver and crystal to create a beautiful table. With the help of a friend, we also made wedding cake-shaped cookies decorated with each person’s name as our place cards.

Games and Gifts: For those who enjoy playing games, be sure to add humor when possible. Games can be used as a way for everyone to get to know the bride and hear about her wedding plans. While most of us like to see the gifts being showered upon the new bride, this aspect of the party should move along at a nice pace that keeps everyone happy and engaged.

Party Favors: Send everyone home with a cute remembrance of the day. It can be food or a unique keepsake.

Have Fun: Enjoy the party and have fun blessing the new bride-to-be!

Here are the some of the recipes from the shower I hosted for my niece. They each make enough for 20 servings.

Citrus Compote9 oranges, peeled and sectioned6 grapefruit, peeled and sectioned6 kiwi fruit, peeled and chopped 6 bananas, peeled and sliced1 cup clover honey1½ teaspoons poppy seeds

Place orange and grapefruit sections in medium bowl; drain juice into a medium bowl. Add kiwi fruit and bananas to orange-grapefruit mixture; set aside. Stir honey and poppy seeds into juice. Pour over fruit. Stir gently to coat fruit. Makes 20 servings. I garnished the individual servings with a fresh strawberry.

Creamy Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes and Chives served on Puff Pastry Hearts3 packages puff pastry, thawed3 dozen large eggs2 packages (8 oz. each) cream cheese, cubed1½ teaspoons salt¾ teaspoon coarse ground pepper1¼ cups grape tomatoes, cut in half¾ cup chopped chives

Preheat oven to 400º F. Using a 4-inch heart shaped cookie cutter, cut out hearts. Place on baking sheet about 1 inch apart. Bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown. (Puff pastry will shrink slightly.) Let cool. Slice in half horizontally; set aside. Meanwhile, in large bowl, beat eggs, stir in cubed cream cheese, salt and pepper. Pour into a medium-hot skillet, coated cooking spray. Allow to cook for 1 minute;

The Corvette was the brainchild of GM designer Harley Earl. It was his answer to all the European sports cars that were being shipped in by WWII veterans in the late 1940s. His idea began to take shape in 1951 and debuted as the “EX-122” prototype at the 1953 General Motors Autorama, in New York City. Production began just six months later.

The first generation of Corvettes, tabbed C1s, ran from ‘53 to 1962, and was known as the “solid axle generation,” although many Vette purists contend that the 2nd generation should have started in 1958 with significant styling and mechanical changes. 1963 brought about independent rear suspension and the end of “fixed” headlights. All were “pop-ups” for 42 years, until 2005 - the sixth generation. Noticeable styling changes occurred in 1956 when the rather obtrusive dual-finned “jet-pod” taillights were smoothed into the newly-rounded rear quarter panels. This was called “frenching.” The iconic Corvette “cove” was also introduced, which was an indentation running from the front wheels through the door panels, which could be painted most any color for contrast. In ‘56 a removable hardtop was also offered for the perennial roadster. In 1957, the milestone 265 cubic inch V8 was bored out 1/8”, giving us the long-living 283. It produced 185hp in its base form, but with fuel injection, it pumped out 283hp – an amazing 1hp per cubic inch! They didn’t always work well, but the “fuel injection” emblems on each side of the car certainly gave one bragging rights.

Dual headlights were introduced in many new automobiles in ‘58, including the Corvette. They were given a chrome bezel surrounding them with a stainless metal strip running from between the lights, back to the windshield. The iconic chromed “teeth” in the grill were reduced from 13 to 9, and were bookended with fake air scoops on front as well as in the coves on the sides. Simulated louvers “adorned” the hood and two chromed rails ran down the spacious trunk lid. Fortunately, some of these stylings were dropped the next year, resulting in a cleaner, sleeker ‘59 Corvette.

Linda Geissler, of Waterloo, was raised around cars, mostly of the

Chevrolet variety. Her husband and she had a very rare ‘56 Chevy sedan delivery in the late ‘60s and ‘70s, along with a ‘67 Camaro and ‘62 Impala, both set up for drag racing. Later they purchased a Ford t-bucket hot rod and a small fuel dragster. They spent a lot of time at NEITA Dragway, north of Cedar Falls, and would race at The World Series of Drags in Cordova, IL; pretty good credentials for a “car gal.” Around 1978, husband Don ran into a real “barn-find,” which had been removed from the barn and sat in the elements under a tarp – a ‘59 Corvette, which he presented to Linda as a gift. It was pretty rough, so Don enrolled in an auto body class at Hawkeye Community College and began stripping down the fiberglass body. Work on the Vette was sporadic, combining it with a job at John Deere and raising two young daughters. There were also some health issues that developed for Don and he passed away from cancer in 1990 at the age of 42. Linda decided to have the work completed on the ‘59, which was finished in ‘93 with the help of John Day, who also raced at NEITA and was a mechanic for a Waterloo Chevy dealer. The interior was finished by D&M Interiors, Waterloo, and the striking Crown Sapphire blue paint was laid down by Diamond Auto Body, Evansdale, with Snowcrest White for the cove.

Having had the Vette for 37 years, Linda has learned much about her ‘59, and cars in general over the past half century. She relocated to the Cedar Rapids area in 2013 to be closer to family, but finding the city to be very exciting and offering new opportunities. A natural fit for her was joining the Cedar Rapids Corvette Club, which she did recently in April. She’s very much looking forward to making new friends in the club and

is currently helping out with their annual “Cruisin’ the Ave” charity car show and entering her beautiful ‘59. That re-build is 23 years old, so it has recently received some needed “TLC” from Performance Concepts, of Marion. Steve Setzer and his crew handled some badly-needed work on the transmission and carburetor, and sealed some critical leaks. She’s also getting help with a rejuvenation of the convertible top. She has the optional removable hardtop, but wants to “pop the top,” cruise in the open air and needs to be ready for those occasional rain showers.

Yes, it’s been a long haul over the years with many peaks and valleys, but it’s now time to make hay while the sun shines and enjoy life even more. As for the future of the ‘59, when asked by one of her grandchildren if the Corvette was going to stay in the family forever, her reply was a quiet but firm “Yes.”

It’s time to rev the engines, spin the wheels and make tracks to the annual charity car show at Lindale Mall Parkade, near Younker’s on Saturday, June 13. If entering a car, you can print a registration form from the home page on the CRCC website, www.cedarrapidscorvetteclub.com. Just click on the highlighted “flyer back” to print an entry form. Your entry fee will get you a loaded goodie bag, a free t-shirt, and dash plaque if you are one of the first 250 entries. Early registration ($15) can ensure that, but you can also enter on the day of the show for $20.

Click on “flyer front” to read about the highlights of the show, including a list of our major sponsors, who really came through this year. Many of these businesses are long-time supporters of CRCC’s efforts to raise funds for selected charities in the CR area. The charities include: The Catherine McAuley Center, Clothe-A-Child, Miracles in Motion, and the Brain Injury Alliance – Eastern Iowa Chapter. All are very worthy causes and very local. CRCC is proud in the fact that 100% of the car show proceeds go directly to these charities.

The car show is about giving, but it’s also about having fun with the family! Hey, kids! We’ve got something new for you this year – Hot Wheels Drag Races! Bring your favorite Hot Wheels cars, or use some of ours, and race your friends at the show. I’m sure there will be some prizes for you, too. And did you ever see

an upside down car? We’ll have one there for you. It belongs to Jim Anderson, of Anderson Automotive and it’s called “Belly-Up”! He’ll be there to explain how he came up with such an idea! You can get your picture taken with it, too. “Dyno Mike” Drapac of DynoMike Power Tuning will also have his 1951 Plymouth there. It looks like Grampa’s old cruiser but it has a Hemi in it and turns high twelve-second times at the drag strip!

It’s pretty cool!

Other attractions at the show include a Silent Auction table, where you can pick up some great deals on hotel packages, framed posters and prints and who-knows-what-all! There’s a booth for garage sale items, donated by CRCC members. Hard

telling what great deals you’ll find here. There’s a Poker Walk that will take you into

Lindale Mall businesses, and you can win great prizes with one of the top three poker

hands. It’s fun, easy and open to all! We also have door prize drawings for our show entrants, as well as a raffle for $1,000 worth of great Klein Tools. There is a 50/50 drawing for big money, and a $100 gift card from Hills Bank.

Of course, there will be 200 to 250 of the coolest cars in the surrounding area to view up close, with an awards ceremony to be held at 3:00. Your car can be one of those. There are 30 different car classes, and yours will fit one of those classes. So whether you’re entering a car, or not, come on out to Lindale Mall and enjoy the day with the entire family. We’re counting on good weather, but we’ll be there rain or shine.

Summer is the season for outdoor adventures, fun in the sun, and travel. Unfortunately, summer’s also the season for fleas and ticks, extreme heat, and other safety issues for our four-legged friends. The staff at Edgewood Animal Hospital (EAH) wants to get you and your pets prepared for summer, and they have many ways they can help.

If you’ve got travel planned, and your dog can’t go along, Edgewood Animal Hospital’s new lodging service is here for you. The hospital recently completed renovations, including 20 enclosures and exercise spaces for lodging dogs, as well as updated flooring, paint, and signs. “We’ve made it more functional and inviting,” says Director of Operations Zach Melton.

As an animal hospital, Edgewood specializes in lodging with a medical focus. With veterinarians and vet techs on staff, they’re able to provide lodging to dogs with medical conditions such as diabetes or arthritis. They can handle the day-to-day veterinary needs of these canines, like daily insulin injections or laser therapy for arthritis that a regular doggie daycare could not.

EAH will lodge dogs without medical conditions too, of course, and the dogs can have fun in the indoor play areas surfaced with astroturf. The hospital’s location, across from a park and trail, offers opportunities for outdoor play and exercise as well.

In order to lodge, dogs must be up-to-date on vaccinations, and EAH can help with that. One of the goals of the EAH staff is to provide preventative treatment to pets and education to their owners. Melton says it’s very important to get your pets in for annual check-ups and keep them current on flea, tick, and heartworm preventatives. Annual blood work can alert veterinarians and pet owners to underlying conditions that animals may have.

This preventative care is especially important as summer begins, with the heat and all of the opportunities for outdoor recreation. If you want to take your dogs for romps at the area dog parks, you’ll need to show proof of current vaccinations. Camping and hiking and walking with dogs means they’ll be in area where ticks and fleas are prevalent.

Melton notes that summer heat can exacerbate conditions like heart murmurs, kidney disease, or others.

“If your pet’s part of your active lifestyle, and it’s got an underlying medical condition, you might put your animal at risk unnecessarily,” says Melton. The awareness that EAH staff advocates for the health of pets can guide owners about when to exercise animals, or whether to simply keep them inside on an extremely hot day.

All animals need extra care in the summer to avoid overheating or heatstroke. Make sure they have plenty of fresh water, access to shade, and a way to self-protect. If you’re walking your dog, bring water and a pop-up bowl. You can always bring a towel to soak with water and drape around your dog’s neck at the end of a walk. If you’re traveling with a pet, Melton suggests asking yourself, “What am I going to take to make sure my pet is comfortable and to make sure their travel goes well?”

If you’re traveling with your dog this summer, you should also make sure they’re microchipped and they’re wearing up-to-date rabies tags and owner identification tags. Call EAH now if you need to get your dog micro-chipped. Melton says that, while most pets are now microchipped, owners often forget to update their address with the microchip company. If you’ve moved since you got your dog microchipped, contact the company so that if your dog gets lost, your correct address and information will come up when it’s scanned.

Finally, with warm weather upon us, many pet owners will wonder about summer cuts for their canines. EAH offers grooming and can answer questions about the best practices for each type and breed of animal. (Some breeds of dogs should not have their fur shaved or cut short.) Melton also recommends the website www.veterinarypartner.com for grooming and veterinary information.

Whatever your needs for the health of your pet, at Edgewood Animal Hospital, you can expect a “high level of veterinary medicine, great care, and great service,” says Melton.

Summer breezes are blowing, the sun is shining, and Emil’s Hideaway is breaking out some cool and refreshing summer drinks. When paired with signature favorites from the menu, they make a perfect meal for a summer night.

We stopped in at Emil’s for a meal and heard about a few summer drink offerings that we just couldn’t pass up. Both of the drinks we tried were visually gorgeous and delicious. The Twisted Vine, which features muddled grapes and lemons in 3 Olives grape vodka with 7up, was my favorite. It has a fresh, bright flavor, not too sweet.

We also tried a drink that’s not even on the menu: the PIneapple Moscow Mule. Seems like every bar these days has Moscow Mules, but this one’s special. Besides the usual--vodka, ginger beer, mint, lime, and simple syrup--this summery version has a splash of pineapple juice, and the vodka is a pineapple-infused version. Fruity with a hint of sparkle, this drink will taste just right on a hot afternoon.

If you’re at Emil’s, you have to try the appetizers. They went great with the cool drinks. First, there was a plate of dynamite shrimp--seasoned and fried jumbo shrimp tossed in creamy, spicy Boom Boom sauce--we ate every last bite. The spicy chicken rangoons were also a favorite. They’re a twist on the usual crab rangoon, but the crispy fried wonton is filed with a homemade mix of shredded chicken, cream cheese, onion, and sauce. They had a bit of heat, but nothing we couldn’t handle. Savory stuffed mushroom caps rounded out our appetizer choices.

You could almost make a meal of Emil’s appetizers. But we couldn’t visit without having some of the entrees that are made in-house every day.

Great food is a family tradition at Emil’s Hideaway. Part-owner Nathan Allick is the grandson of Emil Allick, owned Emil’s Deli--that iconic sandwich shop established in downtown Cedar Rapids in 1964. Nathan’s dad, Dave Allick ran the Deli later. Now Nathan is continuing

the local restaurant business at the Hideaway along with his brother Chris, and Allyn Secor and Jayme Tegeler.

Nathan made some suggestions for entrees and we were not disappointed. At our table, we tried three. We couldn’t pass up the BBQ burger. Made with meat ground fresh in house and then seared on a flat grill to lock in juices, this burger featured two quarter-pound patties, bacon, cheddar cheese, fried onion strings (which are also made in-house) and--of course--barbeque sauce. It’s a mouthful, and if we’d been less hungry, we might have ordered the junior version, which has just one patty.

We also tried something a little lighter: the grilled Mahi. I love to order fish when I’m out, but my dining companions are not seafood fans. Still, when they tried a bite of the Thai-inspired season Mahi served on a bed of snow peas, carrots, and pineapple, they pronounced it delicious. “Almost tastes like pork,” was the verdict.

Pizza at Emil’s Hideaway is always delicious, and because we loved the spicy chicken rangoons so much, Nathan recommended the shrimp rangoon pizza. The same creamy-spicy flavors were featured in this pizza, which is also topped with shrimp, green onions, fried wonton bits, and sweet Asian sauce. It was delicious hot and the leftovers I took home were also good cold.

Even though we were full from our big meal, we decided to share a dessert. Emil’s Hideaway partners with another local business, Kathy’s Pies, for their dessert menu. “We usually have three or four kinds of pie each week,” said Nathan. We tried Bayou Goo, and it was the perfect light and sweet end to our meal. It’s got a cheesecake base with chocolate cream and nuts, then topped with whipped cream.

Summer should mean easy meals for all of us, and Emil’s offers just what you’ll be craving this summer: delicious burgers, grilled entrees, and pizza--all available with cool and refreshing summer drinks.

The Devon Allman Band will perform at the 6th Annual Irish District Music and Arts Festival on Saturday, June 20. The Festival is celebrated on the grounds and inside the historic Shores Building, 700 16th St. N.E. Cedar Rapids, from 4-10pm.

Allman’s performance at the Irish District Fest comes hot on the heels of his departure from the blues rock super-group Royal Southern Brotherhood, amid rave reviews for his new solo Ruf Records release Raged and Dirty. Allman collaborated on the record with Grammy-winning producer Tom Hambridge, who has worked with Buddy Guy, Johnny Winter and George Thorogood.

Devon is the son of rock icon Greg Allman. Uncle Duane Allman is widely regarded as one of the most talented guitarists to have ever lived. The Allman Brothers Band’s music shaped a generation, permanently leaving its mark. Devon followed his own musical path, with some remarkable partnerships along the way.

Eastern Iowa blues rock fans remember when Allman brought his Honeytribe to the Cedar Ridge Vineyards SummerFest in 2012. Moving on, Devon was widely considered the main draw in the Royal Southern Brotherhood. This is impressive when you consider he shared the stage with the talented Cyril Neville and guitarist Mike Zitto.

RSB was recently nominated for the Blues Foundation’s 2015 Blues Music Awards rock blues album of the year. While simultaneously performing in the Royal Southern Brotherhood and his own solo performances, Devon still managed to be a guest musician for his legendary father and the Allman Brothers Band.

Shores Event Center Stage:4:30-6pm SummertownAlternative rock and roll, indie jam rock bringing a new genre of music from a melting pot overflowing with influences. The teenage prodigies Robbie, Nathan, and Wyatt bring a musical style greatly appreciated among all ages, along with some sweet tunes anyone can enjoy.

6:30-8pm Wooden Nickel LotteryEastern Iowa’s hot new blues rock band has an alter ego rooted in jazz. The group recently released their first studio

recording “On My Way” to rave reviews. Wooden Nickel Lottery was recently featured on Iowa Public Radio’s Live from Studio One and won the regional Iowa Blues Challenge in Newton. Irish District Festival Main Stage: 5:15-7pm Voice of Cedar Lake All Stars

Jazz rock fusion from Ryan Phelan, John Wilson and Jeremiah Murphy with Tommy T-Bone Giblin on the

Hammond B3 organ. Irish District Fest committee chairman Tom Erger informs “the Voice of Cedar Lake All Stars is the Fest’s way of bringing attention to a very important cause in our neighborhood. Cedar Lake is in the beginning stages of a process that will see

the lake cleaned up and transformed into an inter-urban recreational body of water that will be

available for everyone to enjoy.”

7:30-9:45 Devon Allman BandThe Devon Allman Band’s World Tour includes a stop at the Irish District Festival.

Tickets are available on line at IrishDistrictFest.com and at the door for $10. Details are also available at Facebook.com/idmaf. The event’s larger scale presentation, sound, stage and lights are professionally supplied by 16th Avenue Productions, with Nate Hines behind the sound board.

Erger shares, “We are so pleased to be going into our sixth fest with a lot of momentum. The continued growth, the tremendous good we have been able to do in distributing funds to neighborhood music education programs and the great fun the crowds have had at the concerts has been so rewarding. We are really looking forward to this year being the biggest and best Festival yet.”

The Irish District Music and Arts Festival is a non-profit, 501(c) (3) organization and is an official Freedom Festival Event. All Festival proceeds are used to support local music and arts education programs, including the Eastern Iowa Arts Academy Guitar Program. The festival’s mission is to promote fun, fellowship and community pride.

Sponsors include; City Revealed Magazine, Comfort Care Medicare, Hometown Restyling, Guaranty Bank, KCRG, Cabinet Studio Inc, Sport Clips, ConAgra Foods, Janda Motor Services, Mahoney’s Pub, and JM O’Malley’s. Erger reflects with “Thanks to all of our sponsors – without you we would not be able to put on this wonderful, diverse Festival that has brought so much to our neighborhood.”

this event include City Revealed Magazine, Farmers State Bank, Hiawatha Bank, Tyler Link and Barns, McGrath, REM, Metro Studios, Farm Credit Services and Ahmann Designs.

The trailhead for the Cedar Valley Nature Trail is located on Boyson Road in Hiawatha. The trailhead features picnic tables, restrooms, maps and information about the trail, and parking. The 52 mile long trail is a continuous path running from Hiawatha to Evansdale, Iowa. The first four miles are paved asphalt and the first 16 miles going south from Evansdale is also paved with asphalt, with the rest of the trail composed of crushed and packed limestone. Walkers and bikers will enjoy a variety of wildflowers, native prairie grasses and an abundance of birds and wildlife along the way.

The excitement is building as the city plans “Throwback Thursday” on July 23rd as RAGBRAI comes to town for an overnight stay. Details can be found on the website below.

Are you training for RAGBRAI or trying to get in shape for the summer? If so, consider taking part in a training pre-ride on June 28th as participants ride out of Hiawatha and head to Coralville. The pre-ride entry fee is $35.00 and includes a pancake breakfast which will be served by HiCREW Kiwanis, a Hiawatha or Coralville T-shirt, snacks and refreshments throughout the ride and a beverage of choice at the Iowa River Landing at the end of the ride. Sponsored by Trails End. More information can be found at www.RAGBRAIHiawathc.com or www.RAGBRAICoralville.com.

Friday nights in August feature Music in the Park. With so much fun and excitement planned in Hiawatha this summer, be sure to mark your calendars for these great events and activities. For more information, contact Kelly Friedl, Hiawatha Parks and Recreation Director at 319.393.1515, ext 251 or email [email protected]. Hiawatha is a great place to live, work and PLAY.

The Marion by Moonlight concert series is a great time to enjoy family, friends and neighbors. So come on out and take pleasure in the warm weather, music, and great food in the Marion Square Park. It is the place to be on Thursdays in June, as Farmers State Bank (FSB) hosts the 19th season of MBM. This year the dates are June 4, 11, 18, and 25, 2015; and each week features a different band. Bring your family, lawn chairs, coolers and appetite to this free, exciting concert series and take the time to enjoy the magic of Uptown Marion!

“We just love Marion by Moonlight. Sometimes, we don’t even know who is playing we just know a great band will be in the park every Thursday night in June. We grab our lawn chairs and head to the park every Thursday!” Marion area resident

The free concert series has been held since 1996, when new staff member at Farmers State Bank, Lynn Ciha 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 they had an overwhelming 1,700 people attend, they knew it was the beginning of a Marion tradition. Now, nineteen years later, MBM has become a community tradition for Marion and area residents.

“There’s nothing we look forward to more each year than our Marion by Moonlight concert series. It’s truly one of the best gifts we could offer to our community, and it’s thrilling to see close to 3,000 people each week enjoying that gift!” Lynn Ciha, Vice President, MarketingThe concerts begin at 6:30 and end by 9:30 pm and the park will be full of great music and food. Local vendors will start serving at 6:00 and the 2015 list includes; Carlos O’Kelly’s, Kettlehouse Bakery, Zio Johno’s, Marion Maid Rite, Marion Dairy Queen, and Take the Cake Cupcakes. They will be on hand to provide dinner and desserts! Everyone is welcome and no one will go home hungry. The music venue offers something for everyone and this year the entertainment will be better than ever. The music lineup includes the following Bands;June 4th – Lonesome Road (Country)June 11th – PastMasters (60’s & 70’s Pop Dance)

June 18th – TwoBuckChuck (Classic Rock, Dance)

June 25th – Airwaves (Classic Rock)

Cassandra Chalhoub, Marketing & Event Specialist at FSB, is responsible for planning this event and, after months of preparation, she and other members of the planning team are

hoping for excellent weather for the concert series.

“Marion by Moonlight has become a classic summer tradition that people look forward to

each year,” says Chalhoub. “At FSB, we love to create opportunities for people of all ages to come together as a community and enjoy each other’s company … as well as all the great music and delicious food!”

Since the beginning in 1996, KDAT FM, KCRG TV, and The Gazette have been media partners for this community event.

FSB generously sponsors many exciting events throughout the area and also serves as a Platinum Sponsor for all Marion Chamber of Commerce community events including; •Kiwanis BBQ Rendezvous (Marion Square Park Noon – 9 p.m.), June 6th•Eat, Drink and be Marion, July 9th, 5:30 – 9:30 pm•Marion Uptown Market*; June 13th, July 11th, August 8th •Uptown Getdown Concert Series*; August 6th, 13th, 20th and 27th•Uptown Marion Quilt Walk, August 22nd•Swamp Fox Festival and Fall Marion Market, September 26th•Uptown Marion Chocolate Walk, October 2nd •Christmas in The Park and Peppermint Walk coming in December
