"Helping the World Discover Adel" - Vol. 93 July 2016
It's Fair time in Adel! As a kid I couldn't wait to get to the fair. My mom would drive us boys and my cousins at 7:30 am so we'd be first in the gate. We'd stay until late in the evening. It was a glorious time of fair food, animals, carnival games, exhibits and demolition derbies. My Dad would join after getting off work.

We'd call it a night after my brother would take his third ride of the day on the "Space Twirler From Hades".  Word of advice, never stand too close to the rides that spin upside down.

This month we had the pleasure to sit down with Hal Wilson of Hal and Harry's Hawaiian Ice.

Terry is back with adventure of other worldly proportions once again putting our little explorer once again in the face of discovery.

So grab a cup of coffee, there's a lot to cover this month and we look forward to seeing you in Adel.

Hal Wilson of Hal and Harry's Hawaiian Ice, Adel Iowa     

It's summertime in Adel! This month we are happy to bring you a slice of summer fun with an interview with Hal Wilson, owner and operator of Hal and Harry's Hawaiian Ice stand.

Hal Wilson was born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii where shaved ice is the number one island treat. The number one question Hal gets asked- why did you move to Iowa?

After attending college in Florida where he played baseball, Hal moved to Seattle. With a background in art and an eye for design, Hal started working in the Giorgio Armani stockroom.

Stephanie and Hal

Hal met his wife Stephanie- an Adel native- while working with top west coast clothiers making tailored suits for CEOs of national companies like Starbucks and Costco, Seattle sport stars, actors and musicians like John Travolta and Usher.

The couple moved back to Adel to start their family and Hal worked as a buyer with Des Moines' high end retailers.

Today, Hal is a Clothier with Langel and Woods Clothiers in Valley Junction. These custom made, tailored suits are beautiful, clean, and elegant.

"Now, working with two partners, I work strictly by appointment. I help clients pick the lining, buttons, details; that's what I do every day. I make mens and women's suits, clothing, shirts, and slacks. Which is rare, different, and odd."

Harry Wilson 
2 years ago, Hal and Stephanie bought the Hawaiian Ice stand located in the Family Dollar parking lot in Adel. Hal and Stephanie liked the idea of a family-owned, summer business that their son Harry, now 10, could work at.

Harry buses tables, takes orders, and helps to keep the space clean with his parents by his side.

"This is our second home. For us, this is a summertime, seasonal gig and we love that. For Harry, its a nice summer job to build his work ethic and help build his college fund for later. All the tips are his, and he works hard."

Hawaiian Ice is powdery, shaved ice that melts in your mouth, unlike snow cones which are made with crushed ice and have a crunchy texture. A traditional Hawaiian Ice is made with red azuki beans that have been boiled, mashed, and sweetened.

The paste is scooped into the center of the shaved ice for an extra sweet treat. The paste is also ladled over the top of the finished dome.

Hal and Harrys Hawaiian Ice - Adel Iowa

You can get Hal and Harry's Hawaiian Ice served "Hawaiian Style" by adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream to the center or topping the dome with a magic shell cream topping.

Since the Wilson's took over the "sugar shack", they have added a few new flavors, tiki torches, seating, umbrellas, and Hal's collection of Hawaiian and reggae music.

Last year, parents commented that they were concerned with the sugar content, since the treat is simply ice and syrup. This year, Hal chose to post the nutritional value on his signage which has helped customers feel confident about eating their summer treat. A small Hawaiian Ice has the same amount of sugar as a 12 oz can of Coke, which is less sugar than a can of Mountain Dew, with zero fat.

Hal and Harrys Hawaiian Ice - Adel Iowa
Being health conscious parents themselves, Hal and Stephanie decided to add Sugar-Free options to the menu this year as well.

"I did my research. A sugar-free prepared syrup is available to buy but part of the sugar substitute they use is Sorbitol, which is a dietary laxative.

I said no way! Instead, my wife contacted a Tropical Sno business owner in Okoboji who shared her Splenda recipe with us. We'll be offering 4 sugar-free flavors: Blue Raspberry, Red Raspberry, Cotton Candy, and Strawberry."


There are 31 syrup flavors available at Hal and Harry's, with countless combinations available. The most popular flavor with the kids is Blue Raspberry because of its vibrant, neon blue color. A favorite flavor combination is Fruiti Pebbles which is a tie-dyed effect that tastes just like the cereal. Hal's favorites are Kiwi and Passion Fruit. During the interview we tried a Black Cherry Hawaiian Ice which was delicious. The flavors taste exact, not artificial, which is important to Hal.

Hal and Harrys Hawaiian Ice - Adel Iowa
"My wife and I are here 95% of the time because we want to know everything about the business. Its like my clothing, whether its a button or a detail, I want it to be right."

The shop is now open every day from 3-9 pm, and is a cash only establishment. Each day, there is a line waiting for the shop to open, and regulars closing the shop at dusk.

To make the experience even more special, Hal offers plastic holders and color changing spoons for free, which makes the summer treat an even bigger crowd pleaser. Hal and Harry's is also mobile and available for catering events.

Its true, there are times that Hal misses Hawaii, especially in late winter, but he often says that Iowa is more like Hawaii that you might think with our nice, thoughtful neighbors. For Hal, Adel is the best of both worlds.

For the past 12 years he's had a unique, high-end career in Des Moines, is able to get involved with charitable events and organizations like the Adel Partners Chamber of Commerce, Variety Club of Iowa and the Heart Ball, and still has all the benefits of raising his family in a small town.

Hal and Harrys Hawaiian Ice - Adel Iowa
"We want to teach our son that life is too short, that its important to give back whatever you can to those who are less fortunate.

When I die I want to say I taught him everything I could, and helped him be the best young man I could."

2016 Adel Sweet Corn Festival: Grand Marshall - Jim McNeill

The Adel Partners Chamber is excited to announce that the 2016 Parade Grand Marshal is: Jim McNeill.

Retired Chief McNeill was with the City of Adel for 29 years. While on the police force he was the Chief of Police for 19 years.

Jim was known for his leadership, reliability, expertise and ability to follow through. The respect he earned quickly translated into trust-the trust that he would always be consistently firm and fair.

Jim McNeill was also the disaster coordinator and he has seen Adel through its most common disaster-flooding.

The mitigation efforts he put in place including the berms throughout Kinnick-Feller Park and the portable dike system at the track/football field area has given Adel a sense of security that flood damage would be held to a minimum.

The Adel Partners Chamber had many great nominees this year and is thrilled to name Jim McNeill as Grand Marshal.

Recipes From Home
Recipe of the Month -
Citrus Roll Ups  

When you have three daughters, you tend to buy three of everything. Sometimes you buy 3 identical items, other times you buy 3 similar items. When your house is full of chefs, you buy three Chinese cookbooks.

I bought three different titles, each with hundreds of recipes. Low and behold, one of the books was better received than the rest.

Yes, my daughters are fighting over "the good cookbook." A book I used many Sundays to cook family dinner, before I knew that everything I bought for myself the girls would one day assume was theirs to keep.

The other books are great, with recipes from countries that don't exist today. However, their memories are from "the good cookbook" which makes that one special. Luckily my daughters have high spirits and kind hearts- the family feud is nothing more than good humored jokes to steal it away from each other under cover of night.

In the end, I gave each daughter the book that was right for them based on their style. This month's recipe was created by my daughter who owns the largest and most complicated of the books, complete with recipe index written in dead languages, and she loves it.

Citrus Roll Ups
INGREDIENTS:
2 Chicken Breasts, sliced
1 Red Onion, thinly sliced
1 Red Pepper, thinly sliced
2 Oranges, sliced
1 Lemon, quartered
3 cloves Garlic, minced
1 tsp Crushed Red Pepper
1 tsp Paprika
1 tsp Ginger
1 tsp Tumeric
1/4 C. Water
1/4 C. Orange Juice
2 TBSP Soy Sauce
1 TBSP Sesame Oil
1 head Kale, chopped
3 Brussel Sprouts, thinly sliced
1/4 C carrots, shredded
3 tsp Olive Oil
1 Package Lavash, Naan, or Tortillas

In large bowl, combine Orange, Lemon, Garlic, Crushed Red Pepper, Paprika, Ginger, Turmeric, Water, Juice, Soy Sauce and Sesame Oil.

Muddle ingredients with wooden spoon, crushing fruit.
Cut the Chicken Breasts into narrow, fajita-style stripes. Combine with Red Onion, Red Pepper, and crushed fruit mix. Cover and Marinade for 1-3 hours in refrigerator.

Heat Olive Oil in large fry pan or Wok over medium heat. Remove Orange and Lemon peels from Marinade, add to fry pan. Cook for 3-5 minutes or until soft. Remove fruit peels from pan, discard.

Drain and cook Chicken, Onion, and Red Pepper while retaining marinade.

Add Kale, Brussel Sprouts, and Carrots to pan along with Marinade.

Cover and reduce heat to low for 7-10 minutes, or until Kale is tender and sauce is reduced by half, stirring occasionally.

If sauce is too loose, add 1 tsp Tomato Paste to thicken, cooking an additional 5-7 minutes.

Serve like Fajitas with your favorite flat bread, Lavash, Naan, or Tortillas.

Enjoy!

Terry Traveller
Terry Traveler -
Another Close Encounter    

Ah, Iowa summers. They remind me of New Mexico winters. Terry Traveler here, remembering another tale of questionable origin. But this time, the question of origin is out of this world.

You see, the questions of life, the universe, and everything have always played heavily in my mind and once, when I was young and bright-eyed, I had the notion that I could find those answers out there among the stars.

I was back packing through the southwest along the Extraterrestrial Highway- a span of road so dark I couldn't see my hand in front of my face, let alone the thumb I was sporting in an attempt to get a ride. I had just resolved myself that the search was hopeless when I tripped over a large, squishy lump. I apologized, as I often do with chairs or coffee tables, when I saw a flash of light reflected back to me.

Two large, dishpan eyes stared up at me from the huddled mass. I held my breath and tried to remember that book I had pretended to read about wolves in the third grade. Our eyes were locked as I slowly realized it appeared to be standing, long arms and slender hands on hips, with its gigantic head cocked to one side. I swear I heard it say, "Nice parka you got there."

A million thoughts raced through my mind as I stood frozen: ALIEN! Why hadn't I listened to my mother? I knew they were real! AHH! What was in those brownies? Can it read my thoughts? They weren't MY brownies, I was just holding them for a friend! ALIEN! ALIEN! ALIEN!

And then I passed out.

I awoke in the hospital several days later. The doctors claimed that I had been left outside the emergency room doors with a note pinned to my orange parka, "Idiot has Heat Stroke".

Apparently wearing a fur lined mountain coat was not the best choice for the dessert terrain. No one believed my story; instead I was told that I had been hallucinating from the heat, probably tripped over a rock, and hit my head.

When I got home I felt relieved to put the affair behind me and return to the truth of my gonzo journalism. That was, until a postcard arrived a few days later, postmarked Roswell, New Mexico. The message? "Nice parka you got there, Terry."

This is Terry Traveler saying, you don't have to believe me, but I know you want to.

Studio Q 360 - Adel Iowa
Studio Q 360 - Myofascial Release Effective for Many Conditions  

Myofascial Release (MFR) is gentle, sustained pressure applied directly to the skin to areas of tension and pain that helps to heat and melt fascia.

What is Fascia?

Fascia is connective tissue that surrounds individual muscle fibers, muscle fiber bundles, muscles, bones, nerves and organs.
It looks similar to a densely woven spider's web. Fascia is a continuous structure that exists from head to toe without interruption.

If, Harry Potter style, you were to magically remove your skeleton, your body would be able to stand and keeps its form thanks to fascia. With this in mind, we can begin to understand how each part of the body is connected to every other part by the fascia, like yarn in a sweater.

In its normal state, fascia is pliable, relaxed and wavy. It has the ability to stretch and move without restriction. When we experience an injury, trauma, scarring, or inflammation the fascia loses its pliability. It becomes tight, restricted, and a source of tension throughout the body.

These restrictions effect our flexibility and stability, and are a determining factor in our ability to withstand stress and perform daily activities.

Is Myofascial Release the right treatment for your pain?

 Research published in 2015 in the Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies found promising results when applying Myofascial Release  techniques to clients suffering from low back pain, fibromyalgia, plantar fasciitis, headaches, and fatigue.

Two high-quality studies of fibromyalgia found that MFR helps alleviate symptoms. The first study showed that ongoing MFR treatment reduced anxiety, sleep disturbance, and pain. The second study showed that MFR improved pain, sensory, and affective dimensions.  

Tennis Elbow
Two moderate to high-quality studies of MFR for computer professionals with tennis elbow showed large, significant and long-lasting reductions in pain, disability, and grip weakness.

Low Back Pain
A high-quality study showed that using MFR as an adjunct therapy to specific back exercises was effective in reducing pain and disability.

Limited Range of Motion
A moderate-quality study of hamstring and quadricep flexibility showed MFR was effective as stretching for improving range of motion.
