Working for the weekendW e love our jobs. And we better if we are going to dedi-

cate 40 hours or more of our lives each week to them. But we also love our time off, and we enjoy every minute

of it. For some it is a time to relax. Others turn it up a notch. But for all, it is a way to truly enjoy life. This month, we tracked down a handful of such people in Bondurant, all of whom are living life to the fullest through their weekend “alter egos.” There’s Jerry Grogan, a dea-con at Bondurant Federated Church who races sports cars. He has also flown a plane he built in his own shop. Steve Pinkley, the director of Hidden Acres Christian Camp, spends his vacation time as a Christmas tree salesman in Ohio.

He also works at Your Pit BBQ, a restaurant in Vermilion established by his parents. Daryl Bailey practices the art of taxidermy, while his wife, Marci, enjoys creating wood burned paintings in her free time. We hope these stories inspire each of you to pursue your own special hobby or interest, too. Thanks for reading.

J erry Grogan lives life looking for the next challenge. Those challenges usually involve an element of speed and mechan-

ics. Grogan’s weekend pursuits are supple-mented by the machine shop he operates in his day job. When you can manufacture your own parts, why not build your own airplane? Grogan asked himself that very question. Before flying planes and driving race cars, Grogan was a firefighter in downtown Des Moines. The adventurous deacon at Bondurant Federated Church certainly has hobbies worthy of “weekend warrior” billing.

“If it’s a challenge, I have to conquer it. That’s just me,” Grogan says. It’s the new weekend pursuit for a man who owns a machine shop that manufactures fireplace-related goods. Grogan’s current weekend passion is sports car racing. He’s an active participant with the Sports Club of America, a car club that sets up organized times trials, aggregated so that any car may compete. He’s getting bet-ter after finishing dead last in his first attempt. Jerry says he now regularly finishes time trials in the top 10 and spends recreational time

adjusting the setup on various cars he takes to the track. It’s not easy cracking the win-ner’s circle, which contains experienced driv-ers who push their cars to the limit. Grogan became involved, he says, after a business associate suggested he take his Mazda Miata to the track. Grogan describes the thrill of taking a corner at top speed, knowing if he lets off the gas, he’ll lose the back end of the car. “You want to go in a corner as fast as you can — as tight as you can — without pushing or breaking loose,” he says.

Jerry Grogan is an active participant with the Sports Club of America where he races sports cars. His current go-to car is a Mazda Miata. Grogan also races a 2006 Mustang GT.


WHAT SOME BONDURANT RESIDENTS DO FOR FUN WHEN THE WORK WEEK ENDS

WeekendWARRIORS


In addition to his Miata, Grogan runs a 2006 Mustang GT that he calls “a horse.” Before discovering racing, Grogan spent weekends piloting a plane he built from his shop on Jefferson Street. More than half of his personal aircraft was custom built, and Grogan has logged 500 hours in the air since earning his license. Grogan shares a harrowing tale of escap-ing an inverted spin during a ride with a friend. He’d read about the situation many times, and his firefighter instinct helped him regain con-trol. Grogan says he remains close to his co-pilot from that day, and the two share laughs recounting the incident. Grogan is currently building another plane, something simple he says is a top wing aircraft named ‘“the low and slow.” The old plane sits in a hangar, grounded for more than two years. An old fuselage hangs above the shop where his employees remain hard at work. The full length of the near wall is decorated with an airplane wing. Grogan carried over an interest in model airplanes as a kid to an adulthood business and hobby. He says with “If you can build a model airplane, you can build the real thing,” he says with conviction. To build a big airplane is the very same thing. There’s no difference. They say model build-

ers build the same airplanes.” Grogan’s wife talked him out of firefight-ing because of potential danger, he says with a hint of irony. There are no problems or concerns at home now, even with the racing. She’s OK with anything, as long as he’s not in

an airplane. “You know I conquered that,” Grogan says. “I’m having too much fun with the racing.”

Acres Christian Camp and doubles as a res-taurant owner and Christmas tree salesman in Ohio. For 38 years, Pinkley has been traveling back and forth to his hometown, overseeing the restaurant first opened by his parents. “I take all of my vacation time, and I work,” Pinkley says. The Bondurant resident and lifetime busi-nessman has many endeavors, but Pinkley takes particular enjoyment in pursuits that allow him to return to Vermilion, an Ohio town on the shores of Lake Eerie. Your Pit BBQ in Vermilion was the cre-ation of Steve’s parents, who were originally from Memphis, Tenn. Pinkley’s father was one of many Memphis natives relocated to a plant in Ohio at the time. Pinkley grew up working in the restaurant he now runs as manager emeritus. Besides his interest in the BBQ place, he is also known as the “Christmas tree guy” there. What began at age 16 continues as a side job for him. Pinkley was able to save enough money through tree sales as a young man to purchase something very special. “When I was in college, I made enough money to buy my wife a wedding ring,” he says. “I’ve sold to generations and generations of families. It’s a lot of fun.” Pinkley describes himself as a people person, eager to give back to the Bondurant community. After meeting his wife in college, the two settled here almost 30 years ago. He hinted that his day job will be changing in 2014, but nothing will interfere with his week-end warrior duties back home in Ohio.

Daryl BaileyDaryl Bailey lives just down the hill from where he grew up in Bondurant. They call the neighborhood “Baileyville” because of the fam-ily’s long-time presence. For most of his life, Bailey has made a living in excavating or dirt work. Bailey hobbles around throughout the morning having recently undergone surgery to repair an achilles tendon injury, an ailment Bailey says was caused by many years in a physically demanding trade. His body break-ing down, Bailey is spending more time on his weekend projects than ever before. Bailey grew up hunting with his dad in nearby Chicahaqua Valley. In later years, Bailey remained an avid hunter and often wondered why he was paying for taxidermy when he could learn it himself. Now, Bailey is the go-to taxidermist in his hunting circle and has more work than his day job allows. He is hobbled by the achilles, but it doesn’t seem to bother the dedicated husband and father. “You should have seen him,” his wife

Marci says. “He was right back out here the day after his surgery.” Taxidermy is a skill Bailey has perfected over a lifetime spent with animals. His father took him hunting as soon as he could lift a rifle. As an adult, Bailey took taxidermy courses to perfect his natural gifts, learning the art at Kindred Spirits in Burlington. He aspires to someday host his own class-es in his workshop just east of Bondurant. The only promise the 43-year-old Bailey makes to friends is that he’ll have a mount returned to them by next deer season. Mounting takes time — sometimes a lot of time. Bailey doesn’t stress it, most of the people he does business with understand. He’s a weekend warrior, after all, and this is just a hobby. The process of skinning and mounting is disgusting to some of his wife’s friends who take the occasional tour through the expan-sive workspace, which is divided in halves. Dead animals are something Marci Bailey had to get used to with her husband, who she met during high school in Bondurant. Bailey’s shed is a place where guys hang around and tell hunting stories. “They come in and throw their stuff on the ground, they tell their stories and out the

door they go,” he says. Marci Bailey chimes in that her husband has a special appreciation for animals since he’s been so close to them his entire life. “He talks to his animals. He totally does,” she says. He doesn’t deny it, relaying the story of a recent bear hunting trip he took to Saskatchewan with his sons. The Bailey boys like to work with their father, learning the finer points of taxidermy. One of the Bailey children has shown interest in pursuing taxidermy as a profession. For now, the kids are happy to help him in the shed with his overflow of work. “He needs to do this full time,” said his encouraging wife. Marci Bailey has her own ambitions in her weekend pursuits. She shows off a few wood-burned paintings she’s completed. Her hus-band chides her gently that she needs to stop giving away her art for free. Her workspace consists of a little area within the taxidermy studio, and this Christmas season was crazy for her once her friends started requesting her custom wood-burned artwork, she says. “We’re both pretty much weekend war-riors,” Daryl Bailey says.


Daryl Bailey and his wife, Marci, are serious hobbyists in their respective crafts. Daryl is busy with taxidermy during the weekends, while Marci enjoys creating wood-burned paintings.

health Q&A

Information provided by Dr. Steven Neville, Bondurant Family Dentistry, 100 Second St. N.E., Bondurant, 515-967-4002.

Q: I’ve never had a cavity. Why do I need a dentist?A: Every time we enjoy a sugary snack or bever-age, our teeth become more susceptible to cavi-ties. Saliva is a protective barrier for your teeth. Some people’s saliva is able to buffer or offset how sugar impacts their teeth; others aren’t as fortunate. The mineral makeup and the quality of saliva is part of the reason as to why some people have never had a cavity. Although saliva protects your teeth, it can lead to problems for your gums. Certain saliva types and qualities are contributing risk factors for gum disease. Most adults accumulate tartar on their teeth around and under the gumline. Tartar is a porous calcified deposit and the primary cause of gum dis-ease. If you had the ability to be a microscopic scuba diver, tartar would resemble a coral reef. Within these concave areas, bacteria and germs populate and grow, irritating the gums. If left untreated over a period of time, the gums and jaw bone recede or melt away. Gums that bleed eas-ily and are sore when trying to floss are signs of gum disease. Even if it’s been awhile, don’t risk waiting. Call your friendly dentist.

Information provided by Dr. Kari Swain, Swain Chiropractic, 410 Center Place S.W., 967-9300.

Q: What is purification?A: Purification, also known as detoxification, can help remove natural tox-ins from your body and help maintain a healthy weight. We are exposed to toxins continually, including pollutants, pesticides and chemicals. Internally, our bodies produce waste byproducts as a result of normal metabolic func-tion. Although your body is designed to rid itself of these toxins naturally, it can become overburdened. Purification offers your body additional support to expel natural toxins and minimize your weight. Our bodies are exposed to toxins in our environment every day. Research has shown many of these chemicals can disrupt our immune, endocrine, nervous and reproductive systems. Toxins can contribute to a wide range of conditions including stuffy head, fatigue or difficulty sleeping, digestion and other gastrointestinal problems, food cravings and weight gain, reduced mental clarity and low libido. Detoxification is essential for optimal health and body function. The purpose of a detox is to stimulate liver enzymes, empty intestines of waste and help the kidneys eliminate toxins that build up in your tissues, organs and blood. A purification program should stimulate specific detoxification organs and, with the help of these organs, decrease your toxic load and allow your body to concentrate its energy on purification and weight reduc-tion. A quality detoxification or purification program will support your major organ systems with the vitamins, minerals and other nutrients found in whole foods. The program should be focused on purifying, nourishing and maintaining a healthy lifestyle not just rapid, short-term weight loss. A program that allows you to eat whole foods, specifically a wide range fruits and vegetables, is safe and helps give your body the energy it needs to stimulate the digestive organs. You should consult your health practitioner before beginning any type of purification or detoxification program.

A bout 45 percent of Americans usually make New Year’s resolutions,

according to a survey from the University of Scranton. But the same survey shows that only 8 percent of us actually keep our resolutions. Perhaps this low success rate isn’t such a trag-edy when our resolutions involve things like losing a little weight or learning a foreign language. But when we make financial res-olutions — resolutions that, if achieved, could significantly help us in our pursuit of our impor-tant long-term goals — it’s clearly worthwhile to make every effort to follow through. So, what sorts of financial resolutions might you consider? Here are a few possibilities: tions to your retirement

plans. Each year, try to put in a little more to your IRA and your 401(k) or other employ-er-sponsored retirement plans. These tax-advantaged accounts are good options for your retire-ment savings strategy. It’s not always easy to reduce your debts, but make it a goal to fin-ish 2014 with a smaller debt load than you had going into the new year. The lower your monthly debt payments, the more money you’ll have to invest for retire-ment, college for your children (or grandchildren) and other important objectives. cy fund. Work on building an “emergency fund” containing six to 12 months’ worth of living expenses, with the money held in a liquid account that offers a

high degree of preservation of principal. tion needs. If you don’t already have the proper amounts of life and disability insurance in place, put it on your “To Do” list for 2014. Also, if you haven’t taken steps to protect yourself from the considerable costs of long-term care, such as an extended nursing home stay, consult with your financial professional, who can suggest the appropriate pro-tection or investment vehicles. ket volatility. Too many people head to the investment “side-lines” during market downturns. But if you’re not invested, then you miss any potential market gains — and the biggest gains are often realized at the early stages of the rally.

You can probably check your investment balance online, which means you can do it every day, or even several times a day — but should you? If you’re following a strategy that’s appropriate for your needs, goals, risk tolerance and time horizon, you’re already doing what you should be doing in the long run. Do whatever you can to turn these New Year’s resolutions into realities. Your efforts could pay off well beyond 2014.

T here are many different options when it comes to choosing an assisted living

community. Not every community is going to be just right for every individual. Many will offer three meals a day, housekeeping and transporta-tion to shopping, medical appoint-ments and any other appointments you may have. They will also offer medication management, around-the-clock security and staffing avail-able to help with scheduled needs as well as any other issues that may arise. Assisted living will provide health and wellness programs and many other social activities to help maintain that quality of life that all of us deserve. It is important to

take time, tour and ask the right questions in order to find the right home for you or your loved one. If exercise is important to you, does the community have a designated space for exercise or an organized program that meets your needs? If you enjoy pets or have one of your own, is the community pet friendly? Is food important to you? (Of course it is.) Then ask to sample the food, stay for a meal or schedule a time to come back during meal time. One suggestion might be to write down the specific things that are most important to you and your lifestyle. Bring these ques-tions with you to ask during your tour. Is memory care important

to you in your decision making? With the rapidly growing rate of Alzheimer’s disease, many assisted living communities have designat-ed a portion of their building to provide a safe, secure memory care program where residents can live a quality life with others who need a higher level of assistance

with their activities of daily living. This could be an important deci-sion maker when choosing a place if one suffers from memory loss. The transition from an assisted living apartment to a memory care apartment under one roof is much easier on the resident and family than having to move elsewhere. With all the options, it is most important to know assisted living offers choice and the right to pri-vacy, dignity and respect to every resident it serves.

The City of Bondurant has been installing new trails and sidewalks in Bondurant for about six years. This includes new 6’ wide sidewalks on 2nd Street west of Grant Street, and 4’ wide sidewalks on Lincoln Street, Grant Street and 4th Street. New 10’ wide trail has been installed on Main Street, Grant Street between 5th Street and the high school, 2nd Street east of Grant Street and on

Main Street. The largest trail paving project to date will be completed in 2014. This involves installing approximately two miles of 10’ wide trail between the former railroad crossing on 2nd Street east to the existing Chichaqua Valley Trailhead on 88th Street. This will connect the recently completed Bondurant Regional Trailhead in downtown Bondurant with the existing Chichaqua Valley Trail. This project is being bid by the Iowa DOT on March 18, 2014. A work schedule will be developed when a contractor has been selected. The City hopes to know the schedule by mid to late April. The location of this project is shown on the above map. The estimated cost for the project is $923,568. The City has obtained funding to assist with this project from three

CHICHAQUA VALLEY TRAIL PAVINGTO OCCUR IN 2014

BONDURANT CONNECTS TO THE WASTEWATER RECLAMATION AUTHORITYsewer line in Bondurant. Wastewater is no longer being sent to the City wastewater lagoons west of the middle school. The City outgrew the lagoon’s capacity to deal with the City’s wastewater a number of years ago, so operating the lagoons in compliance with the City’s waterwater permit has become a challenge. The WRA will take ownership of two of the ponds. These will be used for temporary wastewater detention during wet weather conditions. The WRA estimates that wastewater could be held in these ponds several times each year for a couple days. The temporary detention is needed to allow the WRA wastewater treatment plant on Vandalia Road in Des Moines to deal with high flow conditions that occur during wet weather.A number of work items remain on this project:

mainline sewer. This work should be completed in January or February. The contractor will pay all lift station operating costs after January 1, 2014.

The main lift station at the lagoon site will be rebuilt by the WRA.Sludge will be removed from all four lagoons by the end of 2014.

Completion of the WRA sewer connection project eliminates the need for the City to construct and operate a new and expensive wastewater treatment plant. It also opens up property for residential and commercial development which could previously not be developed due to a lack of sewer service. The City is fortunate to have the ability to connect to an area wide sewer system like the WRA.


PROTECT STORMWATER: PROTECT STREAMS AND LAKES During periods of snowmelt, deicers that have been applied to impervious surfaces such as driveways, mix with snowmelt and travel to nearby storm drains. In most cities, storm drains discharge directly to local streams and lakes. Some deicers can change the salinity of streams and lakes, which impacts aquatic life.WHAT CAN YOU DO?

O n a recent trip through Bondurant, I asked the attendant at Casey’s

where I could find a quick bite. “Right here,” she replied, laughing as she explained gas sta-tions offer the widest variety in Bondurant. “Well, there is that new place,” she remembered. “I think they call it Founder’s now.” Founder’s Irish Pub isn’t new in anything but name. The building sold and resold to multiple owners in the past. Last spring, Founder’s was purchased and renamed by the owners of Whiskey River in Ames, Nicki and Joe Romare. Since acquisition, the Romares have added an expansive patio and remodeled the interior with an Irish touch, exposed brick and garage door as part of the scenery. During lunch hour with regu-lars on a bitterly cold Tuesday, Founder’s provided a quick and simple bite. The $5 fried taco bas-ket is both economical and satisfy-ing. The bartender says the basket is a popular lunch time item, the best option in town. She is correct. The taco is

both good on the wallet and taste buds as promised. The taco deal is perfect for a typical in-and-out lunch on weekdays. Everything is quick and easy, the food arriving shortly after ordering.

The surroundings are comfort-able with an industrial feel. The antique red bicycle hanging from the ceiling makes for good scenery. Irish prayers behind the bar add to the Dublin-esque feel of Founder’s. The wide array of flat screens make for a fun game day environment. Founder’s is also the place to be on football weekends. Both Hawkeye and Cyclone fans are accommo-dated equally in drink specials. From the outside, gold letter-ing marks Founder’s in town. The patio is appropriately unoccupied on the December day I visited, but the regulars tell me the patio is popular and full in the spring.

I f you’re like most people, you started off the new year by taking an inventory of your lifestyle and

resolving to make some changes. Maybe you pledged to eat less junk food or spend more quality time with your kids. Now’s a good time to also take an inventory of your finances and resolve to make some changes, like rebalancing your portfolio, cutting your spending or increasing your 401(k) contribution. Your portfolio may have changed due to losses or gains in your investment options during the past year. Rebalancing makes sure the original asset allocation of your retirement funds remains in place,

and you keep the level of risk you’re willing to take by readjusting your investment portfolio. For example, let’s assume your original asset allocation was 30 per-cent domestic stocks, 30 percent international stocks, 20 percent money market, and 20 percent guaranteed interest. A year later, due to stock market activity, all but one of your investment choices make excellent gains which in turn changes the weighing of your port-folio. Now, your domestic stocks make up 33 percent, international stocks 35 percent, money market 22 percent, and guaranteed interest 10 percent. You can rebalance your portfolio by taking some money out of the accounts that have gone over

your desired allocation and trans-ferring them to the accounts that have dipped under. It’s easy to overspend. Even small purchases can have an impact on your financial goals. tribution. A small increase can grow over time. Just by increasing your 401(k) contributions by 1 per-cent, you can make a big difference to your retirement savings. If you’re making $25,000 a year, 1 percent is about $20 per month or only $5 a week!.Assuming 20 years to retirement and an 8 percent annual growth rate, your additional $20 per month would grow to $11,780. *

T his cake recipe came to our fam-ily by way of my

younger sister’s god-mother, who baked it every year for my sister’s birthday. As time passed, Mom started baking the cake. It was a big hit at any fam-ily gathering and became famous among my friends at Central College. One of my suite mates called it “social security,” since once word got out I had some visitors would flock in. This was the first birthday cake I ever made for my husband, and it has remained his favorite. I asked him one year if he would like something different, and his response was, “Are you insane?” This is a wonderfully moist cake with a rich cocoa flavor. I top it with a fudgy buttercream frosting, and it pairs beautifully with vanilla ice cream. A few tips on baking the cake: If you don’t have buttermilk, you can use sour milk. Pour a tablespoon of vinegar into a measuring cup and add enough milk to make one cup. Stir it and let it set a minute or two. Let the butter, eggs and buttermilk sit out of the refrigerator for awhile to knock the chill off of them before you mix the cake. And don’t be alarmed when you pour in the boiling water — it makes the batter really thin, but that’s the way it’s supposed to look. Use a spatula to blend things thoroughly after you add the boiling water; if you use a stand mixer, at that point you’ll have a chocolate-covered kitchen. To make sure the cake is done, poke the center with a toothpick. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is done. Cool it, frost with your favorite frosting and enjoy!

W ith each new year, like each new day, the Son with a plan for your

life rises to meet you, desiring to provide the most amazing oppor-tunity — His help. Considering the busy pace of today and the distractions that sur-round us all, I have come to realize how easy it is to be preoccupied with the demands of life and daily agendas that can often include everything but prayer time for the Lord’s help, wisdom and direction. Imagine waking up in the morning, but forgetting to get out of bed (as tempting as that may be on cold January mornings), get-ting out of bed, but forgetting to go to the bathroom, going to the kitchen, but forgetting to eat, going out to the driveway, but forgetting to drive the car, going to school or work, but going the opposite way (as tempting as that may be on test days).

Most people don’t wake up planning to miss out on God’s ulti-mate opportunities, but how can we know what God has planned for our lives if we simply refuse to acknowledge Him and seek Him for help at the beginning of each new day? When I first became a pastor, the prospect of having all day to

pray seemed incredibly promising. No more distractions — just full-time devotion to God. You’ve probably heard it said that pastors work only one hour a week. Although that’s not quite true, I can honestly tell you that one hour of prayer would be far more productive than 40 hours of work without it. Getting busy in the morning and sprinting through the day to save the world seems admirable, but through the years I have discovered that only Jesus Christ can save the world — I am simply called to seek, follow, and lead others to him. “Follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.” Matthew 4:19 This new year, we are privi-leged to see each new day as an opportunity to seek the Lord, know Him personally, follow Him faithfully and discover his plan for our lives. Jesus said, “I have come that they may have life and have it to the full.” May the Lord bless your new year with His amazing plans. Today He awaits you. What an opportunity.

insurance By Glenn Waterhouse

L ife insurance isn’t just for married couples with chil-dren. The need for life insur-

ance is much broader. “Anybody who would experi-ence a financial loss or an emotion-al loss after a death will need some type of life insurance,” says Marvin Feldman, president and CEO of the Life and Health Insurance Foundation for Education.

Who is it for?Having dependents of any kind necessitates life insurance. Here are examples:

Unmarried individuals may have a significant other who relies on their support. Life insurance can help provide for them.

Life insurance isn’t just for bread-winners. It can help cover the cost of replacing the services of stay-at-home parents.

These individuals are typically the sole source of support for their chil-dren. Life insurance can help pro-vide for children financially should their parent die.

Single individuals could be responsible for aging par-ents or may have significant debt. “Life insurance helps make sure those debts are paid,” Feldman says.

Insurance can help replace income from part-time work, Social Security ben-efits, pensions or other employer benefits. It helps spouses continue living as they’re accustomed.

Older adults may have custody of a grand-child or provide support for other

family members. Life insurance may help this care to continue. Life insurance has many benefits for business owners, such as help-ing protect family members from taking on a person’s professional debt, or providing funds for sur-vivors to buy out the deceased’s interest.

What can it cover?Beyond paying for final expenses, loved ones can put these death benefits toward paying off debt, financing an education, settling estate taxes, contributing to char-ity, creating an inheritance, replac-ing income or replacing employer benefits

Are there additional benefits?Some policies also offer living ben-efits. Whole policies and univer-sal life policies accumulate value that can be tapped as retirement income or used to help cover unexpected expenses. Universal life policies also may have riders allowing chronically ill policyhold-ers to withdraw the face amount during their lifetimes to help cover long-term care costs or to prepare loved ones financially before pass-ing. Decide which type of policy best suits your needs.

And for more assistance, contact your State Farm® agent. (Unpaid loans and withdrawals will reduce the guaranteed death benefit and policy cash value. Loans also accrue interest.)

Policies aren’t just for married couples

I n a perfect world, every teacher would be succeeded by his or her most talented pupil. Stewart Buck

was the art teacher at Bondurant-Farrar for 36 years, and when he retired he had a replacement in mind: former student Christian Vandehaar. Vandehaar shaped his own career path so he could suc-ceed Buck, a mentor Vandehaar describes as a kid at heart. The 2005 Bondurant-Farrar graduate was gently nudged to take over at his old high school, and once he finished college, Vandehaar returned home. The school couldn’t be happier with Stewart Buck’s handpicked replacement. Vandehaar speaks reverent-ly about Buck, hoping he’s able to reach his own students in the same way. Vandehaar does his best Stewart Buck impression, some-times unknowingly. “Some of my mannerisms are even the same,” Vandehaar says. “I do my best to capture his style.” Vandehaar is a talented artist himself, who is eager for his stu-dents to discover their artist within. “The thing is, everyone can draw,” Vandehaar says. “It just takes encouragement. So many students predestine themselves. Parents will say ‘Oh, you got our art genes.’ ” Vandehaar invited me to sit in on his afternoon advanced painting class where I found busy students creating at their easels. Vandehaar showed me a detailed portrait by a senior who, as a sophomore, told

Vandehaar she couldn’t draw. “See?” Vanderhaar says, as he nods with a proud grin. Vandehaar’s life growing up with two brothers on a Bondurant farm is reflected in his personal work. The artist is passionate about the way it used to be in rural Iowa. He directs the conversation to his own inspiration, which judging by his online portfolio is life on the farm. Vandehaar says his art reflects the need to preserve the family farm, saying his own parents are feeling changes in the economy. “You may notice storm clouds in a lot of my paintings,” he says. “They represent what’s coming to agriculture.” Vandehaar still welcomes back his old art teacher. Each time Buck returns, he sees Vandehaar and is reminded his students at Bondurant-Farrar were left in good hands.

Christian Vandehaar works with Syndey Curnes at Bondurant-Farrar High School.

W hen Pastor Jeff Sanderson of the Federated Church

in Bondurant reflects on his time in Mexico, he thinks of the Volkswagen. For 10 years, the pastor led teams of 15-20 men south on humanitarian missions, building churches and repair-ing leaky rooftops. Returning to Bondurant, Pastor Sanderson sought a reminder to pray for the people of Mexico. “We get distracted so easily in our day, but we live in a perfect place,” says Sanderson. “I need reminders of how good I have it. Visual reminders.” Sanderson’s 1973 Volkswagen Beetle is his reminder. The golden classic, coincidentally, was man-ufactured in Mexico, although Sanderson didn’t exactly drive it home. He bought his automotive reminder to be grateful back in Iowa. Sanderson’s Volkswagen will spend this winter in storage, the garage space lent to him by a member of the congregation. He’s a gentle owner, sparing the body from the wintery murk of Iowa roads. Political strife prevents Pastor Sanderson from returning to that area of the world. Nowadays, Sanderson joyrides Bondurant’s

adjoining highways, the Volkswagen leaving a distinctive rumble in his wake. “I just love cruising around town. It’s a fun little four-speed to drive,” he says. The affable pastor has been at the same church for 17 years. Sanderson’s office is strewn with evidence of his travels. The walls are painted in a tropical theme, proud family pictures are behind his grand desk. There’s even a model car on the bookshelf, another reminder of his mission — the Volkswagen Beetle. There are small town anec-dotes that emerge from his time tooling around Bondurant in his yellow Bug, which he nicknamed “Herbie” after the Disney series. “There was the time I ran out of gas. The gauge doesn’t work,” Sanderson says. Out of the dark-ness came two ladies, members of the church, who helped push the pastor home. He was stopped once for nudging a bit over the speed limit, explaining to the good officer the speedometer didn’t work on his old car. The pastor escaped with a warning. “I’ve always been intrigued by the Volkswagen. Maybe it’s because I’m German,” Sanderson says.

Pastor Jeff Sanderson’s Volkswagen Beetle is a visual reminder of how good he has it.

O n behalf of the Bondurant Chamber of Commerce, I would like to welcome

everyone to the inaugural issue of the Bondurant Living magazine. As a Chamber, we have supported this project from the outset and are excited to have a professional way to bring community and orga-nizational events, information and post-event pictures to all residents of Bondurant. It will be wonder-ful to have a dedicated publica-tion that is for the Bondurant community, filled with information specifically about the Bondurant community and distributed solely to the Bondurant community. It is an honor to serve as the Chamber president for 2014, and I hope to be able to fill the shoes left by Mary Hanrahan from Bondurant Auto Body. She did a wonderful job in 2013, and I can-not thank her enough for her time and energy spent for the benefit of our Chamber of Commerce. This year our primary focus is to grow the awareness of the Bondurant Chamber of Commerce and work toward being a major hub of infor-mation regarding events that are going on around our community. We are striving to work with all the organizations in Bondurant so we can all promote our events to the residents and businesses in the area. Our year is off to a fantastic start with our annual dinner last week. We had a wonderful eve-ning filled with awards, great food and the swearing in of the 2014 Chamber Board of Directors. We truly appreciate Prairie Meadows Racetrack, Casino and Hotel, our presenting sponsor, and Founder’s Irish Pub for hosting this year’s dinner. Our event sponsors for the evening were Terrace Hills

Golf Course, Brick Street Market and Cafe and Bondurant Living magazine. I would also like to thank all who are serving this year on the board. We are in for an exciting year. Please mark your calendars for the major upcoming events in 2014: Celebrate Bondurant on May 30 and PetockaThon on Aug. 1. We are planning a couple smaller events in addition to these primary ones and will have more details coming in future issues. I would like to wish everyone a happy New Year, encourage everyone to let us know what is most important to you and how we, as a Chamber of Commerce, can help promote businesses in Bondurant and the community as a whole. If you are with an orga-nization in the Bondurant area and would like the Chamber to help announce your events, please visit our website: www.bondurant-chamber.com or contact the exec-utive director of the Chamber, Molly Suarez at either 515-771-8316 or [email protected]. I hope you will join us at future events this year to help generate more excitement about Bondurant and the businesses and residents of our community.
