Time to
celebrate
ach year we reserve a cover story in Clive Living to promote the
Clive Festival. It’s a big deal, and it deserves as much coverage as it
can get. It is a time to celebrate all there is to love about living in
Clive, to mingle with neighbors and to invite friends to the community
to have a great time as well. The stated goal is to create a fun, affordable, family-friendly event that appeals to everyone. Who could argue
with that?
E
Summers can get busy, and making time
to attend a community festival can be a
challenge when you are juggling ball games,
dance recitals, swim meets and other commitments. Even so, I encourage you to
squeeze in a few hours to partake in some
of the many events that make this festival
great. You will find a variety of music and
culture with attractions like Jason Brown
and Friends, Jazz in July, the CJC High
School All Star Combo, World Round,
Orquestra Alto Maiz, The Band Spam and
one of the most impressive fireworks displays in the state, as well as many other activities and events to interest
most anyone.
As you read through the cover story, you will recognize many of
the names of the people we mention. They are residents who truly
care about creating an event that defines community, people like Ted
Weaver, Eric Klein, Kennetha Klein, Ardrae Parmenter, Scott Cirksena,
Kelly Canfield and Chris Murphy. There are many more, of course, who
work diligently to make sure this event is a success, and they all deserve
a collective pat on the back. Make sure to tell them thanks when you see
them.
The theme for this year’s event is “A Distinct Festival.” The name ties
in with the city motto, and it fits. Not sure what all is happening at the
festival? Well look no further than the pages of this magazine for details,
and what you can’t find here you can surely see at www.clivefestival.com.
Thanks for reading. Q

FUN
37TH ANNUAL CLIVE FESTIVAL
HAS SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE
By Kenzie Stroud
O
n July 13-14 the Clive
Festival will make its 37th
appearance, and committee members are excited about all
that is planned and are crossing
their fingers for cooler and dry
weather.
The theme for this year’s
Festival is “Distinct by Nature,
Distinct by Fun,” which is also, in
part, the city’s motto.
Ted Weaver is a Clive City
Council member and a new member of the Clive Festival Committee.
Members say he has jumped in and
taken on a lot.
“As a City Councilman I have
focused on trying to help foster
a greater sense of community in
Clive, and what better way to
achieve that goal than to volunteer
for one of the landmark events in
our city,” Weaver says. “The Clive
Festival has been an integral part of
the fabric of Clive for nearly four
decades, and it’s been a real pleasure to assist these last couple of
years.”
Weaver explains that the festival’s primary goal, much like every
year, is to create a fun, affordable,
family-friendly event that appeals to
There will once again be plenty of entertainment available for children at this year’s Clive Festival.
everyone.
“We hope to build upon the
momentum of recent years where
the residents of Clive, and really
of the entire metro, can congregate with friends and neighbors and
enjoy great food, drinks and high
quality entertainment,” Weaver
says.
This year the festival website
got a makeover, as did the social
media outlets.
“We now have a fully redesigned website that is both informative and easy to use. We have a
brand new Clive Festival app with
the schedule of events, list of bands,
a site map and directions that can
all be downloaded directly to your
smart phone or iPad. In addition
to this, we’ll be tweeting and posting reminders on Facebook,” says
Weaver.
It was love that first brought

Kennetha Klein to the Clive Festival
in 2007 when she began dating her
now-husband, Eric, who is the current Clive Festival president and a
Clive City Council member.
Eric had been the chair of the
Mayor’s Bike Ride, and Kennetha
tagged along to help him hand out
T-shirts and register participants
at the event. She had so much
fun that she volunteered again and
again, doing everything from pouring
beer, putting on ID bands, preparing
kabobs for the wine tasting to selling
tickets to the inflatable rides. She
has found her niche, though, in the
Kid’s Corner.
“I love working the kids’ area. It
is a perfect fit for me because I very
much enjoy working with kids and
crafts,” she beams.
Each year is special, Klein says.
“Last year I loved watching the
kids react to the baby bobcat, and

the grass under the stars as all of the
great bands played.
“My favorite moment, though,
has to be at the end of Saturday
night when all the volunteers/committee members can relax and enjoy
themselves for a job well done.”
Last year the popularity of the
Decorah eagle cam led the Kid’s
Corner team to the idea of making
edible eagles.
The Dr. Seuss movie “The
Lorax” inspired Klein to think of
using empty paper towel rolls to
make trees.
“We plan on having around
200 kids visit us each festival,” she
says. “We get very creative. We
use coupons and watch for sales at
craft stores throughout the year.
We save unused items from year to
year and recycle old items into new
crafts.”
Last year, committee member
Ardrae Parmenter of Bankers Trust
in Clive sent out emails to her
co-workers asking them to clean
out their closets by getting rid of
their old ties, which then were
made into snakes. Bankers Trust
has been a very generous sponsor
of Kid’s Corner, not only helping
with supply costs but also providing volunteers. We have also had
area businesses like Nobbies come
through each year and donate items
for kids like the much loved glow
bracelets.”
Last year, as the weather forecast got hotter and hotter, the
committee realized that they would
be inside the Clive Aquatic Center’s
event building with lots of vastly different creatures.
“We definitely had some worries about them all getting along, but
we had confidence that the professionals handling them knew what
they were doing,” Klein says. “We
also used common sense so that
the birds didn’t get placed near the
snakes, etc. Luckily, it all went very
well, and everyone kept to their
respective corners with no scales or
feathers flying anywhere.”
This year’s celebration will once
again will snakes and S.O.A.R birds
and maybe even more creatures and
critters, laughs Klein.
As a devoted volunteer Klein
has braved some miserable circumstances to make sure the Kid’s
Corner is a success.
“I actually volunteered to be the
Cat and the Hat last year to save
the committee money on a story
teller,” she says. “I couldn’t have
done it without the mime group,
Bakers’ Dozen, from Valley High
School who helped me with the
makeup.
“Unfortunately, I actually had
unknowingly gotten into some poison ivy days before I wore all that
heavy makeup and didn’t realize
it. The caked-on makeup and heat
exacerbated the poison ivy, and I
ended up having such a bad case
that I couldn’t leave the house for
weeks. Not a very pleasant experience overall, but it was worth it if I
entertained the kids.”
Klein says she has no plans yet
for costumes this year, but she says
she is always willing if they need her.
“Everyone will just need to
bring the kids out to Clive Festival
to see what we’ve come up with
this year. We want everyone to
have a good time, enjoy some fun
family time and make a craft that
they can take home as a keepsake
of the festival.”
Clive Mayor Scott Cirksena
says he is excited about the Mayor’s
Bike Ride and the two new routes
for riders this year. One route is
8.25 miles and is meant for families,
and the other is for more serious
riders at 28.85 miles in length.
Riders will have opportunities to
see several of the new public art
sculptures on the Greenbelt with
the Art Along the Trail program.
Dave Hoss of Barr Bike and Fitness
will also be giving safety demonstrations.
Each year Cirksena says he
especially enjoys riding with the
children at the front of the pack.
“Last year, because of the heat,
we had about 25 riders. Riders can

day at the event. This year, Kelly Canfield (Parks
and Rec. director) and I wanted to do something
different than the past two years. Our focus,
particularly for the family route, was to utilize as
much of the Greenbelt Trail as possible, and we
thought it would be a good idea to go West on
the new diagonal portion of the Raccoon Valley
trail.”
Children are welcomed to ride. Cirksena
suggests the family route for young riders.
“They will need to bring plenty of water and
snacks with them,” he says. “We will have both
at the start and the end of the ride, but everyone
needs to stay hydrated. We recommend that
young riders be accompanied by an adult and that
all riders wear helmets and stay to the right while
on the trail at all times.”
In the event of rain, riders will gather at
the Aquatic Center for an 8 a.m. start time and
determine, based on the severity of the rain, if
they will ride.
Chris Murphy is a second-year volunteer
for the Clive Festival. When he asked what he
could do to help in 2010, he was assigned the
role of Clive Festival volunteer chairperson.
“Finding volunteers was a challenging task.
Roughly 80 volunteers are needed per day. Then
8
Clive Living

the challenge remains to fit the availability of the
volunteer to our scheduled needs. We get help
from groups such as the Boy Scouts, Apple Tree
Children’s Center, Bankers Trust, Clive Jaycees
and Lions Club of Clive.”
This year as Vice President Murphy is shadowing President Eric Klein through the planning
and implementation of activities.
“Some of the challenges we encounter every
year are finding enough sponsorship and volunteers. Even though our economy is going through a
recovery phase we have thankfully still been able to
rely on our local sponsors to support the Festival.
The City of Clive, local businesses, the Chamber of
Commerce and the community have really stepped
up to assist both financially and with volunteers.”
Last year was a tough year, Murphy admits,
but we the group was still been able to contribute to the Mayors Tree Fund to plant new
trees in Clive, the Clive Library, Clive Fire
Department, Clive Police and non-profits like
SOAR, Pella Wildlife Fund, CJC High School All
Star Band and C.A.T.S., says Chris.
Murphy says his best memories from last
year’s Clive Festival were when he was able to
spend time with his Clive family and friends,
relaxing, listening to music and enjoying the firework displays.
“This year, we are offering a variety of music
and culture by introducing a Country Night
with Jason Brown and Friends and a Late Night
Surprise for all, which you must be in attendance
to see,” he says. “Then we are wrapping the festival up with Jazz in July on Saturday night starting
with CJC High School All Star Combo, followed
by World Round and headliner Orquestra Alto
Maiz. Thunder Over Clive will continue to be a
massive fireworks display. Afterward, the Band
Spam will perform.”
Over the years, the Clive Festival has brought
a variety of entertainment and activities for all to
enjoy.
“I see the Clive Festival continuing its success
from the new ideas that both Festival veterans
and new members bring to the table,” Murphy
says. “My goal is to continue offering great entertainment and fun activities, which will bring all of
the Clive citizens together and put on a weekend
event that everyone can be proud of. I want the
citizens of Clive wondering how are we are going
to top this year’s event.”

at www.HeartlandPresbyterian.org.
Volunteering is just one of
the options available to Christian
youth this month. Children interested in the performing arts will
also have a chance to improve
their singing skills while enjoying
the outdoors at the first of three
summer choir camps.
Heartland Youth Choir, located at Faith Lutheran Church,
will be offering an overnight camp
this month. Summer Songs Camp
will take place from Tuesday,
June 5 to Sunday, June 10, at

Teens and texting
Many young drivers admit to it, survey says
"Y"EN"UENZOW3TATE&ARM® agent
new State Farm® survey,
conducted in February by
Harris Interactive, shows
the majority of teens with driver’s
licenses — 57 percent — admit to
texting while driving, despite the
widespread attention surrounding
the dangers of this risky practice.
The State Farm survey was
conducted by telephone in the
United States among 652 14- to
17-year-olds, including 280 who
have a driver’s license or permit. These results come from a
follow-up to a 2010 State Farm
survey, and the numbers are virtually unchanged. Key findings in the
2012 survey include:
s 4EXTING VS DRINKING AND
driving — teens aren’t getting
THE MESSAGE Despite academic
research indicating the consequences of texting while driving
can be as severe as drunk driving, some teens still don’t see it
that way. In the survey, fewer
teens view texting while driving as
leading to fatal consequences as
compared to drinking while driving. Of 14- to 17-year-olds who
intend to have or already have a
driver’s license, the survey found
that 35 percent strongly agree that
if they regularly text and drive they
will be killed someday. In contrast,
the majority of teens, 57 percent,
strongly agree that regularly drinking while driving will be fatal.
The survey also showed that
more teens think they could get
into an accident when drinking
while driving versus texting while
driving. In the survey, of these
same teens, 63 percent strongly
agree they will get into an accident
if they regularly text and drive.
This compares with 83 percent
who strongly agree they will get
into an accident if they regularly
drink and drive.
A
s 0ARENTS PLAY A VITAL ROLE
The survey affirms the vital role
parents play in keeping their new
drivers safe behind the wheel.
Teens who refrain from texting
while driving were much more
likely to report having frequent
talks with their parents about safe
driving. In the survey, more teens
who never text and drive talk to
their parents very often or sometimes about driving (82 percent)
compared to teens who do text
and drive (67 percent).
s4ALKSDECLINEWHENNEEDEDMOST The survey also revealed
a sharp decline in parent/teen
interactions about driving after the
teen receives their driver’s license.
Teens who have a learner’s permit
are more than twice as likely as
those who already have a license
to report that they talk very often
with their parents about driving
(46 vs. 22 percent). This is despite
the fact that the first year after
receiving a license brings the highest lifetime crash risk.
“The conversation should not
end when teens get their license,”
said Chris Mullen, director of technology research at State Farm.
“Through this survey and other
teen driver research, we know that
ongoing parental involvement in the
learning process is key to keeping
teen drivers safe behind the wheel.”
About the survey. This survey
was conducted by telephone within
the United States between Feb. 2
and 5, 2012 by Harris Interactive
on behalf of State Farm among 652
U.S. 14- to 17-year-olds (including
280 who have a driver’s license or
permit and 362 who plan to get a
driver’s license). Figures for age, sex,
geographic region and race/ethnicity
were weighted where necessary to
bring them into line with their actual
proportions in the population. Q

By Steve Forrest and Pete Deacon
Facebook investment fumble
By Steve Forrest, MBA, CPA/PFS, CFP® and Pete Deacon, MBA, CPA, CFP®
his was supposed to be the
investment that brought the
small investor back to the
stock market.
It should have been a time to
cheer. America’s capitalism and Wall
Street’s contribution to everyone’s
prosperity would be back. With 900
million+ users, Facebook was perhaps the most hyped initial public
offering ever. Many figured that it
would trade at $45 or higher given
that the deal was said to be hugely
oversubscribed. Most assumed they
would make money.
It was a success in that it raised
$16 billion for Facebook and some
early investors and valued the company more than $100 billion. And
then it went down. It’s easy to second guess the IPO two weeks later,
but it is proving at least in the very
short term to be a poor investment.
T
It appears that the underwriters with Morgan Stanley in the lead
bought into the hype. They increased
the deal size by 25 percent to 421
million shares and set the price at
$38 (above the original range of $28
to $35). The increased size offering
made shares available to more investors and discount brokers normally
excluded from IPOs. There was tremendous volume following a short
opening delay. As the deal fizzled, big
money exited. The hype was gone
and early buyers are left with a hard
lesson.
Facebook is projected to earn
about 50 cents a share in 2012 on
revenue of $5 billion. At $30 FB is
still trading at 60 times 2012 earnings.
One has to assign a very high growth
rate to get to comparable established growth company valuations of
Google (about 15 times 2012 profit
estimates and six times revenue) or
Apple (2012 P/E 12). Amazon.com
has great revenue growth and future
opportunities that have not translated into great profits. Facebook
shares could already be discounting
$15 billion in annual ad revenues in a
few years and $1.50 to $2 a share in
profits. Facebook’s revenue growth,
though, slowed in the first quarter
with sales of $1.06 billion below the
$1.13 billion in the fourth quarter.
Facebook also warned about the
mobile-device issue in an updated
securities filing before the IPO, noting “we do not currently directly
generate any meaningful revenue
from the use of Facebook mobile
products, and our ability to do so
successfully is unproven.” The optimistic case assumes Facebook will
find a way to monetize its enormous
and engaged user base with vari-
ous forms of advertising and other
services. Facebook has to capture
a greater share of a growing pie as
advertisers continue to move spending away from traditional media. This
could also involve electronic payments, banking, credit, games and
entertainment. At this point owners and potential investors need to
ask themselves whether Facebook’s
growth prospects are strong enough
to justify the stock’s lofty valuation.
A CPA or CFP can help you
understand how companies are valued and if your portfolio is appropriate for you. Q

what’s in your garage?
health Q&A
A: School’s out for the summer! For
some of us, the past weeks have been
about endings. Another year has been
completed and goals have hopefully been
met, whether it was passing a class or
moving up a grade, or maybe earning a
degree.
For others of us not affected by the
ending of school, we at least get to experience the long, hot, easy days of summer.
Maybe we can live out Sam Cooke’s song
about the summer time. One way to bring “summertime and the living
is easy” out of the speaker and into the real world is to simply be. Of
course, nothing is simple and most especially not being.
Sometimes, the act of breathing can be difficult depending on the
events we have to face. For school-aged children, not seeing friends and
changing teachers can be really challenging. For parents, entertaining
these said children for the whole summer can be next to impossible. But
through all this, we practice the art of breathing. Sometimes, just paying
attention to the air filling my lungs (crazy I know, but try it) helps me to
focus and relax at the same time. I hope your summer is easy! Q

Q: How can I learn to relax
and just “be?”
Zac Couture and his project bikes.
Up to speed
Zac Couture’s plans to restore old bikes
By Jared Curtis
here others might see
probable trash, Zac
Couture sees potential treasure.
Couture and his girlfriend
moved in with his grandmother
to be closer to her and to help
out with tasks around the house.
While weeding through items in
her garage, Couture came across
seven bicycles, most of them dating back to the 1960s and ’70s.
Years of neglect had left the
bicycles in rough shape — they all
suffered from rusty chains, deflated
tires and general deterioration. But
instead of wheeling them out to the
curb on trash day, Couture decided
on a different course of action.
“I’m working with a friend to
restore them so we can sell them
so my grandma has a little extra
money,” he says.
Couture’s friend, Dylan Quinn,
is a cycling enthusiast who will
take one of the restored bikes, a
Raleigh Gran Turismo from 1974,
as payment for helping to bring
these vehicles back to the level of
their former glory.
“He loves bikes. He has to
ride 25 miles to work every day
W
on a bike,” Couture says of Quinn.
“He’s in super shape.”
Quinn has put parts and labor
into two of the bikes so far, including the Gran Turismo. As part of
the restoration process, Couture
and Quinn plan to add new tires,
replace the bike chains and disassemble the gear parts in order to
remove rust that has accumulated
over years of disuse. The duo also
intends to give the bikes cosmetic
overhauls by repainting and polishing their bodies.
Manufacturers of the bikes yet
to be worked on include Huffy,
Free Spirit and French brand
Motobecane. Some have accessories
that date back to when Couture’s
mother rode them, including a front
basket and a kinetic light.
Couture says there’s just
something about buying an older
item that’s been restored; a large
part of that appeal comes from
the level of craftsmanship found in
these vintage pieces.
“These frames are a lot stronger,” Couture says. “I don’t think
the bikes they sell at Walmart
these days are going to hold up 30
years from now.” Q

ummer barbecue season is
here and brings with it the
opportunity to share some
great food with friends and family.
I love this time of year to try
new things and to share with many.
Recently, we had a barbecue and
one of the desserts I made was
cheesecake bars. I love cheesecake, but it is time consuming to
make, and these bars are a great
way to get the same taste with less
work.
This recipe is also easier than regular cheesecake because you don’t
have to bake it in a water bath, and you don’t have to worry about over
beating the batter. In a regular cheesecake if you overbeat the batter it
will crack the top. Cheesecake bars also take less time to bake than a
traditional cheesecake.
With everything I bake I tend to have several variations with each
dessert, and this is one is no exception. You can make this with either
a traditional pastry crust or with a graham cracker crust. Another great
feature to this recipe is the fact that it is easy to double and make in a
half sheet pan as opposed to a 13” x 9” pan. The other aspect that you
can adapt is how you top the cheesecake. You can use fresh fruit, melted
chocolate or nuts. Q
#HEESECAKEBARS
Pastry crust
1 1/3 cups all purpose flour
¼ cup sugar
½ cup butter
'RAHAMCRACKERCRUST
1 1/2 cups finely ground graham
cracker crumbs
1/3 cup sugar
6 tablespoon butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Batter
8 oz. cream cheese
1 cup powdered sugar
1 large egg
¼ cup sugar
8 oz. crushed pineapple or 1 cup
½ teaspoon of vanilla
½ cup of white chocolate chips
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine flour, sugar and butter
until mixture is crumbly. Spread
evenly into a 13x9 pan, press the
crust down evenly. Bake for 10 - 15
until golden brown on the edge.
Mix cream cheese and 1 cup of
powdered sugar until like frosting.
Add the egg, sugar, crushed pineapple and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly. Gently mix ¼ cup of white
chocolate chips into the batter.
Pour the batter onto the crust
and bake for 15- 20 minutes; make
sure the batter is set. While the
bars are cooling melt the remainder
of the white chocolate chips and
drizzle across the top of the bar.
Holiday closing
The library will be closed on
Wednesday, July 4. Q

health Q&A
Des Moines
Dental Group
Q: What is a space maintainer?
A: Baby teeth perform a variety of
functions. They help a child eat, of
course, and help in early speech.
But their main role is holding space
in the jaws for the emergence
of permanent teeth, which start
coming in around age 5. But sometimes a child will lose a baby tooth
prematurely due to decay or an a
accident. If left unaddressed, that
void may cause other baby teeth to
shift to fill the empty space. Then,
when the permanent tooth wants to emerge into its proper place, it may
be cramped. One result could be that the permanent tooth squeezes its
way in crooked. That’s not the way you want a child to start out.
To address the problem of a premature baby tooth loss, your dentist
can install a space maintainer. It could be a band or a temporary crown
attached to one side of the space supporting a wire loop or bar that
holds the neighboring teeth apart until the permanent tooth begins to
erupt. When the permanent tooth begins to come in, the dentist moves
the place holder and the tooth should come in naturally. Talk with your
dentist about ways to get your kids off to a good start. Q
Information provided by Des Moines Dental Group, 708 First Ave S.,
967-6611.
Q: Do I have a choice in home
health care providers when
going home from the hospital?
A: Yes. Medicare requires that hospitals give patients a choice of
post-hospital providers including home health agencies that can deliver
Medicare services and that serve the area the patient lives in.
Often the hospital discharge planner or social worker provides
information on home health care options to the patient. Patients should
ask the hospital for a list of home health care agencies in the community
in which they live in so they are aware of all options available to them.
There are many things to consider when choosing a home health
care provider:
Does the agency serve my community? For how long? Who owns
the agency? Who are they affiliated with? Is the agency approved or
certified to provide services to Medicare patients?
What kind of training does the agency provide to its caregivers?
Does the agency provide or can they help find other community
resources like home-delivered meals, medical equipment, or homemaker services? How quickly will I be admitted after I get home from
the hospital?
If being able to receive the health services you need, in your home,
from the agency you prefer is what you want, then understanding your
options is especially important. Exercise your rights as a patient and a
consumer and when planning your discharge with hospital staff, ask for
a list of providers in your area. Q

Meet Ryan Cooley
Photos by Michael Swanger
Teacher-coach enjoys
motivating students
"Y-ICHAEL3WANGER
ath is the basis for baseball, so it should surprise
no one that Ryan Cooley
enjoys and succeeds in teaching
both subjects at Valley High School.
Just don’t expect him to
provide any correlation analysis
between the two. He prefers to
keep things simple in the classroom and on the field.
“I try to provide an environment where every kid, athlete or
non-athlete, doesn’t mind showing up and hopefully something
will soak in. I try to be upbeat
and get to know the kids,” says
Cooley, who teaches algebra and
trigonometry and coaches varsity
baseball at Valley.
During his 21 years of teaching, most of which have been
spent in West Des Moines except
for stints in Indianola, Urbandale
and Newton, Cooley has impacted several students and athletes.
When the opportunity to become
head baseball coach at Valley arose
in 2005, it marked a big step in his
career as an educator.
“I had been an assistant coach
under Coach (Steve) Mohr, and
when he retired I went through
the interview process. When Mr.
(Steve) Duncan offered me the
job, I gave him a big hug and said,
‘Absolutely,’ ” Cooley says.
In his seven years as head

coach, Cooley has guided the
Tigers baseball team to two state
championships.
“It isn’t rocket science,” he
says. “We as a staff — and I have a
great staff — stress fundamentals.
We try to out-work and outhustle people and be aggressive.”
Cooley says if history has
taught him anything it is that
senior-dominated teams, like this
year’s squad, typically perform
better than younger teams.
“Hopefully that continues. We
have a bunch of great players, and
I’m excited to see how they come
together,” he says. “Our number
one goal every year is to make it
into the state tournament. Once
we’re in, I feel like we have a good
chance to win.” Q
