Dear Friend of Adel,
Welcome to March in Adel. Some how Terry convinced me that this was the month for Terry to do the feature story... "You know, something a little different... free reign. It'll be fun!"
If you're a follower of Terry's articles and reviews, you know they're fun and informative. But there is also an eccentric side to Terry, I mean, who else wears a parka and scarf in the summer?
Terry loves to have fun and after this winter who doesn't need a smile? My apologies to Ferris.
So grab a cup of coffee, there a lot going on this month and we look forward to seeing you in Adel.
Chris

 Terry Traveler "Explores" March
|  Terry Traveler here, your local adventurer. I don't know about you, but I am ready for Spring!
Visiting the shops in Adel over the past few weeks I've noticed that most of our conversation of late has been about the weather. High winds, snow again... I for one am tired of it.
I started to count down the days to fight the drabs - only 20 days until Spring and shorter still until St. Patrick's Day March 17th.
Ah, St. Patrick's Day, it reminds me fondly of my German heritage.
I was studying the ceremonial habits of Scandinavian countries during the 1980s and found myself on a warm Spring day participating in a German heritage parade. It is the parade you see that reminds me of St. Patrick's Day.
It was a traditional parade; happy, smiling pedestrians waving to happy, smiling pedestrians. Then suddenly, from the float coming down the street, a commotion! As the float approached, boasting a banner for the most authentic costumes, I heard the best impression of Wayne Newton's "Danke Schon" this side of the Mississippi. I was impressed by the float's dedication to authenticity.
Overwhelming pride seems to sweeps over the audience and soon the crowd was rushing the stage. Synchronized dancing broke out along the plaza stairs, tubas and accordions roared along the avenue. Electrical workers, hanging on cables, danced and swayed to the music some 30 feet above the crowd.
The date wasn't important, was it March or May? It was finding a way to celebrate that lifted everyone's spirits.
So in honor of that spontaneous day in Chicago, a list of reason to celebrate March and be thankful that April is around the corner!
March 3rd is National I want You to Be Happy day - Valentine Day's other sister. Do something nice for someone for no reason other than it will make
them smile.
March 3rd is also If Pets Had Thumbs Day - You just know there's an ecard
for this.
March 4th is Hug a GI Day - It's the only date in the calendar that is an order, get it?.
March 6th is National Frozen Food Day - Enacted by President Reagan in 1984 to celebrate and appreciate all those convenient foods found in your freezer. I have an unidentified foil wrapped package that may or may not qualify.
March 9th is Panic Day - Yeah, like I'm waiting until the 9th... deadlines are a constant around here.
March 10th is Middle Name Pride Day - Hopefully yours isn't "The". And no, it's not short for Theodore.
March 13th is Ear Muff Day - Big Fan! Look at my profile. Interesting that it is in March and not January.
March 16th is the start of National Bubble Week - Go ahead, blow bubbles in your milk, I won't tell. Not to be confused with Bubble wrap day, that was in January.
March 20th is not only the 1st Day of Spring, but also International Earth Day and Extraterrestrial Abductions Day. I'm not sure how exactly, but that fits into a conspiracy theory somewhere.
March 22nd is National Goof Off Day! - Now this one sounds like my kind of day!
March 23rd is Near Miss Day - In 1989, an asteroid the size of a mountain, came within 500,000 miles of hitting Earth. I maintain we were saved by a super hero. Hey, there are some conspiracy theories I like, and some I don't like.
March 29th is Festival of Smoke and Mirrors Day - Anyone want to help me saw Chris in half?
And a day I'm looking forward to - March 30th is Take a Walk in the Park Day. If the forecast holds true March will be out like a lamb at this point and we'll be able to enjoy the day with 40 degree weather, sunshine, and bermuda shorts. I'll still have the scarf and parka on since good fashion is timeless!
March 31st is Bunsen Burner Day - Celebrating the birthday of German chemist Robert Wilhelm Eberhard von Bunsen, who created the Bunsen Burner. See, it all comes back around eventually. You've got to stick around for the punch line kids!
Happy Spring everybody!
-Terry Traveler

|  March 24 - 28th is Iowa Severe Weather Awareness Week!

for your work place.
Build a Kit - put together an emergency kit and be sure that everyone in your home knows where it is.

'Raising a Thinking Child' Yields Positive Results Program
|  'Raising a Thinking Child' Yields Positive Results - Family living program coming to the Dallas County area
The famous author, Dr. Seuss, is attributed with saying, "You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose."
The ability of choice is a powerful one, and when it comes to children it's important for parents to help guide how their child should think without dictating what to think. This is one of the many skills participants will learn during "Raising a Thinking Child", an eight-week program for parents of children ages four to seven.
Presented by Iowa State Extension and Outreach Family Life Program Specialist Joy Rouse, this evidence-based program was designed to provide parents with the tools necessary to help their children solve daily conflicts, explore alternative solutions, consider the feelings of others and decide whether or not a formulated idea is the most suitable choice.
Obvious results were observed by attendees after implementing the lessons they learned from Raising a Thinking Child within their own homes. Reports of children becoming more in control of their emotions by displaying patient and less bossy behavior while exhibiting fewer outbursts were common. Parents also noticed changes within their own disciplining style as they remained calm, yelled less and listened more during disputes.
"I think my kids' behavior has changed because I have changed my approach," one participant said. "It is a hard thing to retrain the way you think and takes a lot of work to make the change, but it works," expressed another.
This series will be held at the Waukee YMCA on Tuesdays, March 25-May 13 from 9:30-11 a.m.
With funding from 4RKids Early Childhood Iowa Area, program cost and provided on-site child care are free, however registration is required by calling the Dallas County Extension and Outreach office at (515) 993-4281.

Family Storyteller Program Invests in the Future of Children
|  The Family Storyteller Invests in the Future of Children Program helps parents promote child's early literacy
Research has shown the single best indicator of future school success rests within early language, reading and writing skills.
Because of this fact, Iowa State University Extension and Outreach of Dallas County will be facilitating Family Storyteller, a six-week program designed to help parents guide their two to six year olds to become more active in literacy.
For the first half of this one hour session, parents are taught key skills that can enhance their child's reading experience. By learning how to read expressively, point to pictures, effectively label items, have children predict the book's events and link the story to the child's real life, parents allow their young to become more active in the story.
Additionally, each week participants will receive one free book and take-home enrichment activities so both parent and child can continue to develop literacy skills outside of the course.
Analysis following the program has shown not only do parents feel more confident helping their child learn but the children also increased their understanding of basic reading and language concepts.
In 2013, Family Storyteller was held at Head Start in Perry and post-surveys revealed families reported implementing the skills learned, an increase in the number of books read throughout the week and the frequency of reading time.
 | |
The National Research Council asserts academic success can be predicted with reasonable accuracy by a child's reading skill level at the end of 3rd grade. Parents who participate in the Family Storyteller program learn how to enhance their child's literary experience, therefore increasing the chance of this success.

River Valley Golf Course March Events
|  Greetings from River Valley!
It has been an extremely cold and dreary winter, and we are aching to get out on the course.
We have been working hard in the shop to get ready to open for the upcoming season. Now we just need some cooperation from Mother Nature so we can warm up and get outside.
For all those also ready to get outside, we have some great deals for our 2014 Season Passes. Our passes are a great value if you like to get out and have fun playing golf. Along with the great value of the pass, we offer convenient payment options. Please feel free to check out our website for more details on the different pass types and contact us with any questions.
We also have our Men's Spring League sign-ups going on right now as well. This is a fun, competitive 2-man league that plays on Tuesdays at 5:30pm. We have weekly skins games and hole prizes to keep things fun while playing a tournament style match play format. Our league is also a great value lasting 16 weeks of 9-holes with cart, prizes, range use, 2 parties and more. Spots are limited to the 1st 24 prepaid teams. We will then start a waiting list until we reach 36 teams to use both 9s.
Lastly, we have one more preparation to get us ready for the upcoming golf season. We are in need of summer help! If you are interested in joining our family out here for a fun golf season, we would like to talk with you.

March is here and spring is almost sprung!
We have some exciting events at your library this spring, including a new Science Camp over spring break and a fun Sherlock Holmes presentation from Humanities Iowa and the National Endowment for the Humanities.
We are also very excited to host our 2nd Annual How To Festival on the first Saturday in April and co-host the first ever Dallas County Library Association Toddler Festival on the second Saturday in April.
~~~
Adel Public Library has received funding from Humanities Iowa, a private, non-profit state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities, to host a presentation called Sherlock Holmes in Turn-of-the-Century Britain
by Dr. Richard Caplan on Saturday, March 22nd at 10:30 am.
A cultural resource for Iowans since 1971, Humanities Iowa offers many cultural and historical programs and grants to Iowa's communities.
The stories of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle have inspired generations of readers devoted to Sherlock Holmes.
Dr. Richard Caplan, an authority on Sherlock Holmes, recently published a book concerning Doyle's famous detective.
This special interest in the subject also allows exploration of life in Britain at the start of the twentieth century, as well as providing much enjoyment.
Using his background in medicine and his love of literature, Dr. Caplan explores the persisting phenomenon of the great detective's astounding longevity.
This program is free, and open to the public, and if you are a person with a disability who requires special assistance please call 515-993-3512 in advance of the program.
To get us into the sleuthing mood, we'll be showing the movie "Sherlock Holmes" starring Robert Downey Jr. and Judd Law on our big screen on Friday, March 21st at 11:00 am.

On the last day of the camp Blank Park Zoo will visit the library. Please sign-up your kids by March 14th as space is limited!

Recipe of the Month
|  | Fried Cabbage
Each St. Patrick's Day I get to cook something I can't cook otherwise- fried cabbage. I'm not sure how traditional my recipe is, especially after my daughters got a hold of it, but its a must have in my house, right along with the good-nature groans it evokes. For those in the family that like fried cabbage with its slightly crunchy, salty, and bacon flavored goodness, the smell reminds us of sitting down to the table with generations of family members to enjoy a hearty meal. For the others, its pungent aroma and "greasy mess" is handled with a great amount of courage. A few years ago we struck a compromise and began cooking the cabbage outside on the gas grill. Around this time my daughter began "correcting" the recipe into something slightly healthier and less messy. But in weather like this the whole production gets moved inside and I want something that will stick to my bones. So here are both the traditional recipe and its healthier alternatives. Just make sure to open the kitchen windows and turn on the oven vent and you should be fine! One word of caution, don't overcook the cabbage. The final product should not look like baby food. As always, adjust the process to your personal preference. Ingredients1 head Cabbage, cored and shredded 1 yellow Onion, diced 2 cloves Garlic (optional) 1 pound Bacon, diced (Alternative= 1/2 pound) 4 T. Olive Oil (Alternative= 1 T. Olive Oil and 3/4 C. Chicken Stock) Salt & Pepper (to taste) Directions1. In a large dutch oven, cook the diced bacon at a medium-low temperature- do not use high heat. 2. Reserve bacon and drippings, set aside. 3. In the same pan, heat the olive oil and caramelize the onion and garlic over medium-low heat. 4. Add the cabbage. **Add bacon grease, toss vegetables to coat. Season with Salt and Pepper. 5. Stir the cabbage consistently, every few minutes to prevent burning. 6. Cook until cabbage is tender, with a bit of crunch. 7. Add crumbled bacon to the pot and stir to combine. ** Alternative: Add Chicken stock along with 2 tablespoons reserved bacon grease, discard remaining grease. a. Toss vegetables to coat. Season with Salt and Pepper. Place lid over cabbage and allow to steam for 10-15 minutes. b.Remove the lid and allow liquid to reduce until cabbage is tender, with a bit of crunch. c. Continue to stir occasionally throughout process. Enjoy!
