Go easy on the deck sealerW hen my wife and I bought our first home back in 1993, we

were intrigued by the new deck that the previous homeown-ers had installed just months prior. The home was a couple

decades old at the time and was showing its age, but that deck sparkled. It was clearly one of the strongest selling points for the house, at least for a young couple that was eager to have friends over to entertain. This was our first home, and I took care of that deck like it was a Rolls Royce. I scrubbed and cleaned it that first year, and I even sprayed on a fresh coat of sealant with a fancy, new sprayer I bought. Water beaded up on that deck like a freshly waxed car hood. We painted our house later that year, and it looked great, too. But within a few months,

I noticed paint falling off the back side of the house, specifically around the deck. I feared this was going to happen all over. I repainted the affected areas, but the paint continued to flake off. Then it hit me. With my full attention on the deck, I didn’t realize that I oversprayed the sealer onto the house. A bit of light sanding and another coat of paint did the trick. I learned to be more careful with future maintenance, and I never ques-tioned the strength of deck sealer again. Today, decks continue to be a source of pride for many people, which you will see in our cover story this month that features local residents who have their homes “all decked out.”

That’s a big promise, but if you will answer a handful of questions, it will help us do a better job creating exactly the magazine you want.

O ne of the most popular trends in homes today is creating space for outdoor living. Homeowners are

expanding their living spaces to include the out-doors, building versatile, creative living spaces with areas for relaxation and quiet reflection, or amenities for entertaining. What’s more, outdoor living areas add

value to a home. Experts agree that a deck offers a 100 percent return in value. The designs and materials vary, depending on how the form and function of the space are defined.

Mike Pelz and Lisa GoettschMike Pelz and Lisa Goettsch bought and moved into their Second Street home in 2007 and

began renovations on the 1920s bungalow right away. The home was in need of repair, so securing it with a new roof and siding, and making the inside livable, were the first orders of business. Mike is a contractor, so he and Lisa did the work themselves and completed most of it within a year. Then it was time to work on the outside.

WEBSTER CITY HOMEOWNERS LOVE TO GATHER OUTDOORS ON THEIR DECKS

DECKEDALL

OUT

Lisa Goettsch and Mike Pelz use their expansive and well-decorated deck for cooking and outdoor entertaining.

The house already had a large front porch, “... so it made sense to continue wrapping the porch around the house,” Goettsch explains. The couple added a deck along the east side of the house that leads to a concrete patio and hot tub room near the back of the home. Access to the east deck can be gained through the sliding glass doors they installed off the dining room. “I didn’t want our house to look like anyone else’s; we wanted to do something unique,” Goettsch says. “It turned out per-fect; Mike did such a great job.” “Decks are my favorite thing to do,” Pelz adds. He says part of the deck’s plan was to integrate some of the architectural elements from inside the home and carry them outside. For example, the white balusters on the deck have the same design as the balusters on the upstairs stairway inside the home. Their white paint is an attractive con-

trast to the home’s soft green hue. Lisa has decorated the porch and deck with flowers and plants. “I try new things, but always seem to go back to petunias and begonias,” she says, because they are hardy plants. She gets them from the Webster City High School greenhouse. “They do a great job,” she says. A porch swing, roomy Adirondack chairs, and table and chair seating invite the homeown-ers and guests to slow down and relax for a bit. Goettsch admits that they always intend to spend more time on the deck than they actually do. “It just gets busy,” she says. “But we’re going to try to make more time this year,” adding that she enjoys drinking her morning coffee outside. They also use the deck for cooking out and entertaining. “We’ve had some good par-ties out here,” Goettsch says. Being right on Webster City’s Main Street, one wonders if their

location might be noisy, but Goettsch says they have gotten used to the sound of the traffic. “We’re right here on Second Street, but it still has a private, relaxing feel,” she says. “It’s fun because we see lots of friends go by and wave, or they just stop in for a minute.” Recent renovations near the deck and porch include an arbor that connects with the walkway to their rental property on the east, a water feature in the front landscaping, new sod, and planting a magnolia tree.

Ryan and Michelle CasadyRyan and Michelle Casady had a small deck on the back of their home in 1995 when they moved in. But after building an above-ground backyard pool two years ago, they expanded the small deck into a useful outdoor living space. “We decided to build the pool, and when it was done, we built the deck around it,” Michelle

explains. The couple says they’d always wanted to have a pool. “It’s something fun for the kids,” Ryan adds. Now daughters Maddie and Katie and son Josh enjoy spending hot summer days outside, and hav-ing friends over. Lynn Jaycox of Jaycox Construction created the deck’s plan, which features different lev-els for seating and storage, an area for grilling, and wraps around to a flagstone path to a fire pit area. A unique part of the design is a combination bench/bar; its use depends on what side of the deck you’re on. It can be used for seating, or food and drinks, and conceals pool equipment storage underneath. Stony Creek Landscapes created the stone patio/fire pit area. The structure is enclosed with a sturdy wrought iron fence for safety and security. The Casady’s deck is made from composite decking mate-rial, which was chosen specifically

because of its low-maintenance property. “We won’t have to stain it,” Michelle explains, and because the material doesn’t splinter, “there won’t be slivers on bare feet around the pool.” Another special deck feature is the LED lighting. “We can sit out here at 10 o’clock at night, or have late-night pool parties,” Michelle says. The deck has two table and chair sets on the deck for eating meals outside as a family, or enter-taining. “We like to grill out or have the neighbors over,” Michelle says. She enjoys the view of the neighborhood the deck provides. “I like to sit out here on Saturday mornings; it’s peaceful out here,” she says. Large potted geraniums add color to the setting. The family’s favorite use for the area, they say, is taking in sun-sets by the fire pit.

Eric and Regan DawsonEric and Regan Dawson and daughters moved into their home in 2006. It already had a multi-level deck in the back, but it was in bad shape and needed to be replaced. “The old deck was scary to be on,” Regan says. A two-week renovation took place last summer when J & C

Builders completed the building project, and Nate Chambers did the wood staining. The results are impressive. The cedar deck has various entrances from the home on each level and provides lots of space for family time and entertaining. It will be fairly low-

maintenance, other than needing to be re-stained from time to time. Because the deck is on the west side of the house, it gets the late afternoon sun, “... and it just gets scalding hot out there,” says Regan, so they added a per-gola on the top level to divert the sun’s rays, which has helped. On a lower, shadier level, there is a hammock for afternoon naps. Hanging baskets of flowers and large potted plants add color and texture to the design. “We eat supper out there, but morning coffee outside — that’s the best,” Regan says. Like many families, the Dawsons are busy going to eve-ning ballgames and away on week-ends, so they admit they don’t spend as much time on their deck as they’d like. “We use it the most when we have friends over and spend time out there,” Eric says. Their oldest daughter, Kayla, is at college in Iowa City, but middle schoolers Kamry and Kali enjoy

hanging out on the deck with friends talking and listening to music. The home’s back yard leads down toward a creek, over which the Dawsons built a bridge to an area with a fire pit, which is anoth-er spot where the girls spend time with friends. Several of the Dawson’s neigh-bors along North Terrace Drive have also been renovating and adding decks, as many of them were erected at about the same time several years ago. One aspect about their out-door deck the Dawsons appreci-ate is the opportunity it gives them to get closer to nature. They have put up lots of birdfeeders and get winged visitors year-around. “We have lots of wildlife out here; we see lots of deer in the winter,” Regan says, adding that they also frequently see raccoons, rabbits and opossums in the back yard. If you’re looking for a different way to expand your living space and increase your home’s value, building a deck just might be the answer.



One must view the Dawson family’s multi-level deck from below to fully appreciate its many levels and pergola on top.

J une is National Homeownership Month, and it’s the perfect time to celebrate the role that home-

ownership plays in the lives of families and communities. Owning a home is an important goal that many Americans dream of and are willing to work hard for. This year, first-time homebuy-ers have a lot to consider when making the decision to rent or buy a home: interest rates are at all-time lows, there’s still plenty of housing stock, and prices are at or near their lowest in years. Yet deciding whether to buy a home or rent an apartment can be a complicated decision. How do you know what’s right for you? Potential buyers should ask them-selves several key questions before making this important decision. be, and can I afford the pay-ments? Keeping mortgage pay-ments at less than 30 percent of your monthly income is a good rule of thumb. If you can’t keep mort-gage payments below that, you may be better off renting for awhile. have? Total rent or mortgage payments plus credit obligations should not exceed 35 to 40 per-cent of monthly income. Can I qualify for a good inter-est rate? A high credit score indi-cates strong creditworthiness, and that qualifies you for better interest rates on a mortgage. The impact of a credit score on interest rates can be significant. For instance, a bor-rower with a score of 760 could pay nearly two percentage points less in interest on a mortgage than someone with a score of 620.

Lower interest rates also mean lower monthly payments. If your credit score is low, you may want to delay buying a home until you can improve your score. monthly maintenance or other fees cost? Owning a home means you’ll have to pay real estate taxes and other costs like insurance and maintenance. On the other hand, owning a home brings big tax savings at the end of the year. As a renter, the owner pays those costs for you. stay here? Generally, the longer you plan to live in one location, the more it makes sense to buy. You’ll build equity in your house, and its value may increase over the years. These are just a few of the many important questions to con-sider before deciding to purchase a home. You can also refer to the “Rent vs. Buy Calculator” devel-oped by the American Bankers Association. The calculator com-pares the cost of renting versus the real cost of buying a home. If you have additional questions about the home buying process, contact your local banker for more information.

Y our bags are packed, your tank is full, and you’re ready to hit the road. Get

to your destination safely with driving tips for your big road trip. Defensive driving starts before you pull out of the garage. Go through a pre-trip checklist prior to leaving, says James Solomon, program develop-ment and training director for the National Safety Council Defensive Driving Courses. Important tasks include locking the car doors, adjusting the mirrors and buckling your seat belt. Your mind may be on your destination, but it’s important to stay “in the moment” when driving. “Whether you’re going two miles or 100 miles, the most dan-gerous mile is the one ahead of you,” Solomon says. Ensure your focus is on the road by choosing not to drive when you’re drowsy, emotional or impaired. “Look down the road, and try to spot the haz-ards,” Solomon says. Does a driver need to change lanes? Attempt to move over. Is it starting to rain? Ease up your speed. Does the driver ahead keep slamming on the brakes? Maintain at least a three- to four-second gap between your two vehicles. Besides your cell phone, there’s another gadget guilty of taking eyes

off the road: a GPS. “Program the GPS before you leave the driveway,” Solomon says. If your GPS takes you off track, Solomon suggests pulling over before adjusting the GPS or read-ing a map.

Follow the speed limit, and reduce your speed according to road conditions. This safety precaution also gives pas-sengers time to enjoy the scenery. And if you enjoy looking out the window, consider driving in shifts. “Driving is a full-time job,” Solomon says. “Everybody else gets to look; the driver has to drive.”

Plan to break up your trip by rotating drivers periodically. That way, the person behind the wheel is fresh and alert, and the one in the passenger seat can help the driver stay focused.

Q: Are strokes preventable? Strokes are preventable by up to 80 percent. Your prevention of a

stroke is largely affected by the management of your personal risks. The National Stroke Association has set forth guidelines and encourages you to speak with your healthcare provider if you or someone in your family suffers from the following risks factors. The major risk factors include hypertension, atrial fibrillation, elevat-ed cholesterol levels and diabetes. Remember, not smoking, consuming alcohol in moderation and a diet high in fruits and vegetables, as well as an exercise routine can help prevent the possibility of a stroke. If you are concerned you or someone you know may be having a stroke please look for the following signs. The signs of a stroke are best remembered using F.A.S.T. Is one side drooping? Hold both arms out, does one arm drift downward? Is it slurred? If you or someone you know is suffering from any of these signs, please call 911.

Several medications, whether taken by mouth, administered into a vein (IV) or applied to the skin, may be activated by sunlight or light from tan-ning beds, resulting in a reaction that looks and feels just like a sunburn. The most common type of reaction is called a “Phototoxic Reaction.” Once the medicine is swallowed, injected or applied to the body, it may enter the cells of the skin. Exposure to the ultraviolet light “activates” the medicine, and within minutes to hours you may have what looks and feels like a bad sunburn on the areas of your body exposed to the light. Many medications commonly used may cause these types of reactions: Antibiotics: Doxycycline, minocycline, ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin and sulfas (Bactrim).

A lthough sunglasses have largely become a fashion statement, they are very

much an essential to protect your eyes. The importance of using sun-screen is commonly known; how-ever, not as many people think of UV rays damaging their eyes in a similar way. The most common problem caused by UV damage to the eye is the development of cataracts in the elderly.

Signs of a cataractYou become sensitive to light.Have fuzzy vision.Have double vision.See halos around lights.Trouble deciphering shapes.Colors are not easily distinguished.Have difficulty seeing at night or in low light settings. Avoiding all sunlight is not possible and not healthy, since you need to soak up some rays to get much-needed vitamin D, but it is best that everyone, espe-cially the elderly, use extra pre-caution against the sun to mini-mize damage. Although the loss of vision caused by cataracts can be reversed through lens replace-ment surgery, it is much cheaper to wear sunglasses and avoid the problem in the first place. Not all sunglasses are approved to protect you from the sun’s rays, so be sure to consult your eye doctor and find out his or her rec-ommendation for your best pair. Your protective sunglasses should

block between 95 to 100 percent of UV light (UVA and UVB rays). They should be worn whenever elderly people venture outdoors in the daylight, even if it’s cloudy, as UV rays still shine through the clouds. Lenses that may help improve vision: Polarized lenses help reduce glare. Photochromic lenses help reduce glare. Mirrored lenses reduce the intensity of the sun. Polycarbonate lenses are impact resistant and helpful if you drop them frequently. Note: These lenses do not nec-essarily protect against UV rays; be sure they are also approved to block UVA and UVB rays. Be sure to keep your sunglasses handy and have a great summer.

Frisbee disc golf competition, cro-quet, kick ball and much more. Surprisingly, Wiedemeier says, the croquet games garner the most competitive competitions. “In July we will be playing kick ball and croquet. It works really well at (Twin Parks),” Wiedemeier explains. “Once they figured out they had to use more finesse, (croquet) was a phenomenal com-petition. We had fourth graders beating eighth graders.” Wiedemeier advises kids to bring “rugged clothing,” a good pair of tennis shoes and Frisbees. The event is completely free of charge and runs from 2 - 4 p.m. With the variety of things to do, Wiedemeier offered multiple reasons for kids to come join in. “To be with their friends, to have a lot of fun in crafts and com-petition and good food. We have a nice Bible story each time,” or, as his daughter puts it, “Learning the answers to life.” For more information, email

the First Baptist Church at [email protected], or call 515-832-9956. On questionable weath-er days, the Church said attendees can use the contact information to see if activities will be cancelled or moved inside.

C hildren from third through seventh grades are invit-ed to Webster City area

parks to run off energy and have fun with the members of First Baptist Church this summer. Every Wednesday in June and July, the church will host a “Summer Kids Klub” when kids will be involved in friendly com-petitive challenges and games. In June the event takes place at the Brewer Creek Park; in July the venue switches to Twin Parks. “We did (Summer Kids Klub) last summer, and the kids liked it so much they asked us to do it again,” says Pastor Patrick Wiedemeier. “Kids will make their own kites, and we’ll fly them, and

they’ll make their own boats, and we’ll float them down the river.” Kids Klub has four main parts: athletic activity, crafts, question/answer time and snack time.

“We have a lot of excellent bakers in our church that put together wonderful snacks and dif-ferent drinks,” Wiedemeier says. He said kite and boat build-ing is a part of the kids’ craft time. Athletic activities include a

T hroughout the past school year, students at Webster City Middle School

explored their post-secondary education options with visits to area colleges and universities. “It is never too early to get our students thinking about what is next for them,” explains Principal Becky Hacker-Kluver. “In order to help our middle school students be aware of the expectations of college, careers and citizenship, we partnered with post-secondary institutions to provide tours and information about what it takes to be successful in college and careers,” says Hacker-Kluver. “... and planning must begin now. “When we think of success for each and every student, we want the students to begin thinking about what careers interest them, as everyone will have a career or many careers in his or her lifetime,” she says. “The students receive instruc-tion in the Career Pathways in sixth and eighth grade during guidance class with class activities, hands-on projects, speakers, etc., plus regular integration of careers in the regular classrooms at all levels. When the students are actually able to experi-ence a college campus, many eyes are opened to all the possibilities.” Webster City Middle School is aligning ideas with those of Achieve Inc., which is a bipartisan, non-profit organization that helps states raise academic standards, improve assessments and strength-en accountability to prepare all young people for post-secondary

education, work and citizenship. Hacker-Kluver says according to their website, all students should graduate from high school fully prepared for college and careers. “Through our continued research on school reform and the Common Core, this organization has been recommended to us as a great resource. With their mission being, ‘All students should gradu-ate from high school ready for college, careers and citizenship,’ this aligns with our philosophy so well,” she says. Fifth and sixth graders toured Iowa Central Community College in Fort Dodge; seventh graders toured Iowa State University in Ames; and eighth graders toured Iowa State University and Des Moines Area Community College. “The students have returned from these visits excited about the possibilities and opportunities that lie before them,” Hacker-Kluver says. “Each of the colleges stressed the importance of doing your best in all of your academic classes, getting involved in extra-curricular activities, and enjoying school.” The principal says students returned from the visits with increased interest and enthusiasm, and she heard comments such as, “I am going to start thinking about what I want to do in college,” and “I want to go to college even more now.” “Everyone is asking, ‘Do we get to do this again next year?’ This is the best question that can be asked,” Hacker-Kluver says.

T his salad is one that I always looked forward to when I attended Central College in

Pella in the 1980s. There, unlike at other dorms, the food was spec-tacular. Those ladies really knew how to cook and obviously enjoyed their job. At Christmastime, they even poached whole salmons and decorated them with cucumber “scales.” It was the first time I had ever seen such a beautiful presenta-tion. Little did I know then that the dorm food experience would help me in performing a job when I cooked for a dorm myself. I added the pasta, basil and the pepperoni to make this salad hearty enough for a nice summer lunch. It is really special with a crusty piece of warm bread and a glass of red wine. Leave my additions out if you are looking for a delicious low-carb side dish for your grilled steak. The garlic balsamic vinaigrette is one that I came up with when I was cooking for “my” dorm students in Boulder, Colo. Keep it refrigerated and make sure you give it a good shake before you use it. My husband prefers it to bottled dressings. If you need a gluten-free recipe for salad dressing, just substitute rice wine vinegar for the balsamic and you’re good to go.

Kris Tracy is from Centerville and lives in Highlands Ranch, Colo. with her hus-band, Doug, who is also from Centerville.

Central College Summer Salad

Ingredients2 cups halved grape tomatoes1 can medium ripe olives1 small red onion, slivered8 ounces of mozzarella cheese, cubed¼ cup of fresh basil, sliced into ribbons2 cups of cooked shell or elbow pasta, drained and cooled*

1 package (5 ounces) Hormel sliced mini pepperoniGarlic Balsamic vinaigrette to taste**

DirectionsMix all ingredients together and allow the salad to marinate over-night or for at least 2 hours. *I like to use Dreamfields pasta for a

low carb option**For a quicker salad, use your favorite bottled Italian dressing

Garlic Balsamic Vinaigrette2 cloves fresh garlic1 teaspoon sea salt (large flake)½ teaspoon coarsely ground fresh black pepper½ cup balsamic vinegar¾ cup extra virgin olive oilPeel the garlic and process with the sea salt in your food processor until the garlic is very finely minced. Add the pepper, vinegar and olive oil. Process until the mixture looks almost like chocolate milk. Store in a squeeze bottle or an empty water bottle with a sport cap for ease of pouring.
