A fter more than a decade of camping and the buying and selling of three units, my wife Jolene and I have retired from the RV life — for a while. OK, we never officially had an “RV,” but we did have our share of

experiences with a pop-up camper and two travel trailers. We purchased the used pop-up camper about a dozen years ago after a soggy night of tent camping with our young children. It was our slice of camping

heaven with a working toilet, a hot shower, air conditioning and walls between us and the constant swarms of mosquitoes. Yes, camping life was much improved from the tent version; that is, until the Nebraska grasshoppers ate massive holes through the silk screens. Yes, that really happened. After the grasshopper plague, we began to realize that we were also tiring of the continuous loading and unloading of camping supplies. After perusing the classifieds one cold November day, I came across a great deal on a travel trailer from a couple eager to sell. So I bought it — and then we had two campers. In November. Jolene wasn’t happy. Winter months were not the best time to

sell a pop-up camper, but I found a buyer later in the spring. Meanwhile, we loved that travel trailer, as it was a true home away from home. One of the issues in owning a larger camper is finding an appropriate place to store it. Jolene and I made the mistake of picking the cheapest place we could find. There was a reason it was cheap. This low-ground storage site filled with water from a nearby creek after a hard rain. The water was more than a foot above the floor line in the camper, totaling the unit. We were heartbroken, but we felt much better after receiving a more-than-fair settlement from the insur-ance company. So off we went to the RV dealer and purchased a new travel trailer. This was the camper we dreamed of. Only one problem: Our three daughters were becoming teenagers, and the last place they wanted to be was in a traveling box on wheels with their parents (and each other). So we ultimately decide to sell the camper and focus on other interests, at least for the time being. Meanwhile, I keep searching online for the class C motorhome that might be the perfect fit once the kids are in college. Once a camper, always a camper. In this month’s cover story, you will find similar stories from local residents who have made their campers a “home away from home.” Thanks for reading.

T here’s nothing like seeing Iowa and the country in a recreational vehicle.It’s the opportunity to experience nature

up close and personal with your family, while also enjoying amenities like television, king-sized beds and air conditioning. It’s the camping expe-rience many enjoy in today’s RVs, a home on wheels filled with all your own things. RV owners in Clive say the investment has

been well worth it, and they have the memories with loved ones to prove it.

Making memoriesPaul and Jen Storbeck first got their feet wet with RVs by buying a reasonably priced used travel trailer from a neighbor. “We had a number of friends that had camp-ers, and we thought it would be fun to join in

with them,” Paul Storbeck says. “But we didn’t know exactly what we wanted.” What they figured out, they say, was they wanted separate kids’ quarters with bunk beds and its own bathroom to give their children more space. More storage and a bigger refrig-erator were also important. So in 2009, they decided to buy a fifth-wheel camper, which attaches to the bed of a truck.

An additional amenity Paul likes is the four slide-outs, which are areas that push out to make addi-tional space. “If it rains, or the weather’s bad, that’s where the size of your camper comes into play,” mak-ing sure everyone can comfortably spread out, he says. The Storbecks have 5-year-old twins, Codi and Chase. Having an RV gives them the flexibility and opportunity to go wherever they want with all the conveniences of home, including their personal things and groceries. “We refer to it as ‘urban camp-ing’ because we have all the ameni-ties of home with us,” Paul says. “It’s not roughing it by any means, but it’s getting away from home.” Camping brings them closer to nature. When you stay in a hotel, he says, you’re not going to wake up right next to a stream or forest. On their outings, their kids spend all day outside playing, catch-ing frogs and fireflies, and watching deer and raccoons, Jen Storbeck

says. Right now, they’re right in the midst of what the family calls “camping and boating season,” which is from May to October. Jen says the kids look forward to their trips and are never ready to come home. They primarily camp at Saylorville Lake during the week-days, when it’s a little easier to make reservations and find spots next to their friends in areas they like, Paul says. The campgrounds are also more relaxed during that time, Jen adds. Other places they like to camp in the state include northeast Iowa, Lake Anita in southwest Iowa and the KOA campgrounds in Adel, which have a pool and activities for the kids, Paul says. They’ve also traveled to Nebraska and Utah. In Utah, they made the KOA campgrounds in Green River their home base and took daytrips from there, Paul says. In the next few years, they may consider a trip to the Black Hills,

Jen says. Camping gives them the chance to focus on their kids and friends, free from the distractions of the things you need to do at home, Paul says. “When we’re out camping, we’re out having fun,” he says. “We’re not worried about doing house projects. We’re relaxing, we’re playing with the kids, going on walks, spending time with our friends.” There are so many special memories from camping that it’s tough to pick favorite ones, they say. It could be having one of the kids sit on your lap around the campfire, watching wildlife or spending time with close friends they only get to see while camping. “I look at it as a memory maker,” Paul says of the investment in their RV. “That’s what I thor-oughly enjoy about camping.”

An investment in their familyLarry Long has fond childhood

memories of traveling in a pop-up trailer with his family on camping trips. “We went all over the West Coast and up and down California and Phoenix,” Long recalls. “It was so much fun — all the camp-grounds, all the national parks.” His parents liked to camp, he says, and it was a very inexpensive way for their family of six to go on vacation. “We ate peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and cooked out on the stove,” he remembers. Long then had his own fam-ily, and they bought their first RV around 2001. “I told my wife it was an invest-ment in our family,” he says. Long wanted his two daughters, now ages 20 and 22, to see and experi-ence the country as he had — sort of. “I wanted to take my kids to all the places I had been as a kid — in a little more luxury,” Long says. “Like, way more luxury.” Their current RV, with air con-

ditioning, leather seats and slide-outs, is a far cry from the pop-up of Long’s youth. They can travel off the beaten path and sleep in their own beds, he says. (“You don’t worry about bed bugs.”) His daughters, unen-cumbered by airline limits on the number of suitcases they can have and weight restrictions, can bring along as much of their wardrobe as they desire. (“That’s a huge plus.”) “I like the family time, when you’re all together, and you control your own time schedule,” he says. “You come and go as you please. You’re not waiting in line like cattle at the airport. And you get to places in the country you can’t get to in an airplane.” The Longs have traveled coast to coast, visiting more than 40 states. One of his favorite trips was to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, where some of the campgrounds were literally right on the beach, he says. Other favorites include driving down the Oregon coast, seeing the redwood trees in California and

experiencing Glacier National Park in Montana. Campgrounds, Long says, are very fun, safe, family-friendly places. “The people are so friendly,” he says. “It just reminds me of when I was a kid, so I like that. I’m recreat-ing my childhood with my kids.” While it’s been a good ride, their family expeditions may be changing soon. One of Long’s daughters graduated from college this year and is going to be starting a job, limiting her vacation time. So the trip they took last month to Michigan may be their last as a fam-ily, he mused. Long and his wife plan to keep RVing. If their kids move, they’ll have use for it then as well, he thinks. Someday, they’re hoping for grandkids. When that happens, that will mean introducing a whole new generation to the joys of life on the road.

Warren Hunsberger and his family bought their first camper, a used pop-up trailer. Prior to that, they’d been tent camping with their young kids. But the loading and unloading of equip-ment became a lot of work, par-ticularly with their big brood. The Hunsbergers have seven children — the oldest turns 37 this fall; the youngest graduated from high school this year. “We’ve gone all over the place,” Hunsberger reminisces, traveling in all types of weather. He shoveled their camper out of snow one year in early January so they could head down to Disneyworld. They’ve visited many county and state parks in Iowa. They’ve traveled along the West Coast and set up camp in Washington, D.C. They’ve taken in the sights at Badlands National Park in South Dakota, Devils Tower in Wyoming and Yellowstone National Park. They’ve camped at the Florida Keys.

“You literally open your trailer, and it’s on the beach, on the Gulf of Mexico,” he recalls. “There’s some beautiful spots you can enjoy right here in the United States without ever getting on a plane.” One of his favorite memories is after arriving at Yellowstone; most

of the family couldn’t wait to get out of the car. Hunsberger and his oldest daughter decided to drive on, south through Yellowstone and to the Grand Tetons. He’ll never forget the excursion, when they saw a mother grizzly bear and her cubs and a big bull moose.

Camping came naturally to Hunsberger and his wife, both of whom did it as kids. While his wife’s family liked to camp in tents, one of Hunsberger’s most memo-rable vacations was “a month-long excursion of the West,” where he, his parents and two siblings took to the road in a Chevy Greenbrier van, he says. As adults, Hunsberger and his wife continued to camp, even before they had kids. Part of the appeal of owning an RV, Hunsberger says, is the independence of travel and the extensive amenities onboard. Their latest RV is their fifth, a 42-foot diesel pusher that is also their first motor home. It differs from their previous campers in that it’s driven versus being pulled behind a vehicle. Their investment in RVs over the years is one they definitely don’t regret. “We’ve never looked back,” Hunsberger says.

Warren says their family bought their first camper about 30 years ago. They’ve had several since then, and they’ve been a worthwhile investment for their family of nine. Photo submitted.

SENIOR LIVING

W hen my grandmother had to stop driving, it was a difficult time for

both her and our family. She felt she was giving up her freedom and inde-pendence. She was upset because she thought she would no longer be able to come and go as she pleased and get to her weekly hair appointment. Although her senior living community, like most, had transportation, she was just so used to getting places on her own she did not want to rely on someone else. But after multiple accidents and moving violations it was time — for her safety and the safety of those around her — that she stop driv-ing. This was a touchy subject, and I advised my mom to speak with my grandmother’s doctor about it. He agreed that it was time to stop driv-

ing and was actually the one who delivered the news to her. She did not agree with it, but since it was her doctor telling her, she stopped driving. Had it been my mother delivering the news, it would not have had the same result. The web-site www.AgingSolutions.info also suggests that you involve others your loved one may respect in the discussion such as clergy, friends, and other family members. They provide a great checklist of what signs of decline to look for in your loved ones driving ability. Do they:

speeds, either too fast or too slow?

if it is clear to pass or turn?

notice pedestrians, bicyclists and other drivers?

-pret street signs and traffic lights?

pedestrians who have the right of way?

between cars correctly?

angry?

frightened?-

dents or near misses?

bump into curbs?

after dusk?

oncoming headlights, streetlights or other bright or shiny objects, espe-cially at dawn, dusk and night?

head, neck, shoulders or body while driving or parking?

problems, including underinflated tires?

turn the wheel quickly in an emer-gency such as a tire failure, a child darting into traffic, etc.?

familiar areas? For more information on safe driving for your loved ones visit www.AgingSolutions.info.

W ork out. Build muscle. Burn more calories. Look lean. Weigh

more. Wait. What?Are you obsessed with the

number on your scale? Does it make or break your day? If you’re work-ing out and your only measure of success is that number, you should reevaluate.

Eight years ago, I lost a lot of weight due to a personal crisis. I was not eating and not taking care of myself. I went from about 125 pounds to 108 in a very short period of time. I felt tired all of the time and had no energy. At 5’4” and 108 pounds, I was definitely what I would call “skinny fat.”

At that time, I made a com-mitment to take care of myself. I started working out twice a week plus walking on my off days and made an effort to remove most processed foods from my diet. I started seeing changes in my body and energy level, which was all the encouragement I needed.

After about a year, my weight was up to 120 pounds. Did I get depressed? Nope. I was thrilled.

The clothes that I wore when I weighed 108 pounds were too big for me. I had gone down several sizes because lean muscle takes up less space than fat. Jeffrey A. Dolgan, a clinical exer-cise physiologist based in Miami Beach, Florida, says, “When you exercise, as is essential for a well-rounded weight loss program, your body begins to lose fat while build-ing muscle. This can be very con-fusing for some people when they step on the scale and notice that they weigh the same or more even though their body is looking and feeling more toned. A pound of fat weighs the same as a pound of muscle; however, the volume of muscle is denser than the volume of fat, and therefore heavier.” I don’t judge my success by the number on the scale. I go by how I feel, my energy level, what I’m physi-cally able to do that I might not have been able to do before, and how my clothes fit. As a 50-year-old woman, I want to enjoy food and treat my body well so that I’m able to func-tion as I move through to my 60s, 70s, 80s and, hopefully, beyond.

They were relieved to find they didn’t have to look any further than their new church. “We love (Seeds of Faith),” Stone says. “We’re so proud of it.” Seeds of Faith Early Learning Center serves about 100 stu-dents, offering eight classes for children ages 2 to 5. Stone says her children ben-efited from project-based learn-ing. “You don’t see the kids sit-ting around doing flashcards,” she says. “They’re learning through play. Kids explore and investigate what they’re interested in, and I see how happy it makes them.” Seeds of Faith Director Heidi LaBounty agrees that the teach-ing staff sets the preschool apart from others. Teaching through forms of intentional play and hands-on experiences, the staff provides an environment catered to the children’s developmental needs. Teachers are trained on Iowa’s early learning standards and have a strong emphasis on preparing kids for kindergarten and beyond. “The teachers love what they’re doing,” LaBounty says.

“They’re truly engaged with the students and down on the floor playing with them.” Seeds of Faith is also unique for its faith-based environment. Children learn about faith and church by praying before snack time, practicing daily devotions and visiting the chapel monthly with Pastor Randy Olson and Pastor Sarah Trone-Garriott. The connection made between families and the school is another part of what makes Seeds of Faith so special, accord-ing to both LaBounty and Stone. “Our environment creates a community for kids, families and teachers. We have strong partnerships with the parents,” LaBounty says. For Stone, the families she’s met while her kids have been at Seeds of Faith are families she knows she will be friends with forever, even as their kids go on to separate schools. Seeds of Faith welcomes both members and non-members of Faith Lutheran Church. About 25 percent of students are mem-bers of the church. Parents are encouraged to contact Heidi LaBounty at Seeds of Faith for the upcoming school year. LaBounty says as long as there are open-ings, they are happy to take a new student in. Contact Heidi LaBounty at 689-8334 or [email protected] to set up a visit.

Iowa Ortho continues to be successful in attracting new providers to its practice to better meet the needs of patients throughout central Iowa. With next month’s arrival of J. Wesley Rayburn, M.D., Kamal T. Aderibigbe, M.D. and Jared M. Carter, PA-C, Iowa Ortho has now added nine new physicians and seven new physician assistants to its staff since 2010. Dr. Rayburn specializes in comprehensive pain management, includ-ing interventions as well as medication management for adults with acute and chronic pain. He treats any pain from head to toe, including painful diabetic neuropathy, CRPS, headaches, facial pain, abdominal pain, pelvic pain, spine pain and musculoskeletal pain, including pain resulting from workplace injuries. Dr. Rayburn is also certified with the American Board of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. Dr. Aderibigbe is an orthopaedic trauma surgeon whose specialties include pelvic and acetabular fracture care, acute care of polytrauma patients and periarticular fractures. He is also trained in direct anterior hip replacement surgery for primary and revision hip surgeries. Carter is joining Iowa Ortho’s staff as the physician assistant for sports medicine specialist, Dr. Steven Aviles. Thus far some highlights in Carter’s career include working with some of the University of Iowa’s athletic teams in addition to working with members of the U.S. Soccer Association. All three providers will be available to see patients at various Iowa Ortho clinics located in the Des Moines metro. To schedule an appoint-ment with one of them, call Iowa Ortho at 247-8400 or request an appointment online at www.iowaortho.com.

Iowa Ortho adds to growing team

More than 65 million family caregivers in America provide a vast array of emotional, financial, nursing, social, homemaking and other services on a daily or intermittent basis. Powerful Tools for Caregivers, beginning Sept. 17 in Clive, is an educational six-week series designed to provide the tools a person would need to take better care of themselves and in turn, be better prepared to take care of a loved one. Participants will learn from two certified facilitators including Iowa State University Extension and Outreach Educator, Lisa Mickelson, how to reduce stress, improve self-confidence, better communicate personal feelings, balance life, increase tough decisions and locate helpful resourc-es. “I would highly recommend participation to assure that others are learning to bring balance to their caregiving role,” says a past Powerful Tools for Caregivers participant in Dallas County. Through the program, the participant says she strengthened her critical communication skills to implement in difficult situations and took comfort in sharing personal situations in a confidential environment with other program participants. “Caregiving takes many forms and can include helping a friend or relative with grocery shopping, living arrangements, transportation and even legal issues,” says Mickelson. “If you do one or more of these, you are a caregiver.” Powerful Tools for Caregivers will be held on Thursdays, September 17 - Oct. 22 from 6:30-8 p.m. at Living Faith Lutheran Church located at 2180 N.W. 142nd St. in Clive. Registration is $20 per person. To register or for more information contact ISU Extension and Outreach Educator Lisa Mickelson at [email protected] or 993-4281.

Sessions for caregivers begins Sept. 17

RECIPE

W e recently vacationed in northeast Georgia and we were there during prime peach season. I like peaches but let me tell you, when I had my first fresh Georgia peach I thought I’d died and

gone to heaven. As we were preparing to start back to Iowa, I told my husband that I wanted to get some peaches to take home. Knowing that we weren’t taking the most direct route home, and would be on the road several days, I had to decide whether to just buy a few to eat; buy a bag and hope they were good when we arrived; or take a huge chance and buy a lug to freeze or can. I opted for the middle ground, bought a sackful and we headed north. At every stop I toted the sack of peaches from our air conditioned vehicle into air conditioned accommodations and, when we arrived home five days later, I was thrilled to find all of my peaches in perfect condition. I wanted to just eat two or three every day until they were gone. But knowing how much he and my in-laws love peach pie, I ate a couple and then, using my mom’s recipe for strawberry pie, I switched a couple of ingredients and made the best peach pie I’ve ever had. Rather than using ordinary pie crust, I made a “cookie dough” crust from a recipe my mother-in-law shared with me. What makes it so fool-proof is that you don’t even have to roll it out. Simply mix the crust ingre-dients together, dump it in a pie pan, pat it out and up the sides of the pan and bake it. And it pairs perfectly with any sweet fresh fruit pie.

4-5 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (Don’t slice too thin)

Directions1. In a medium sauce pan, whisk sugar, flour, cornstarch and salt together.2. Stir in water and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it comes to a boil. Continue cooking, stirring constantly until thick. Stir in Jell-o and continue to cook until smooth.3. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature, then gently stir in the peaches. Pour mixture into the cooled cookie dough pie shell and refrigerate until set. Serve with whipped topping.

HEALTH

W ellness is not a simple thing to be attained with obvious, short-

term solutions. Good nutrition is commonly associated with a healthy lifestyle. The other major area you can control is your activ-ity level. Increasing your physical activity is crucial to improving your health. The great thing is, there are many different ways to increase your activity level. If you are fairly inactive, you can begin by walking or riding your bike through your neighborhood. If you are unable to do this, get involved in a warm water exercise class or simply walk in the water as a means to exer-cise without the impact on your joints. There is strength train-ing, yoga, pilates, tai chi, cycling, etc. There are so many ways to engage in physical activity; the key is finding something that you like, starting safely and making it part of your regular routine.

There is another way to improve your well-being. Research shows that there are many health benefits from serving in your community. By giving of yourself and serving others with your time, talent or treasure, you can gain the following health benefits:

Researchers from the National Institute of Health, in a 2006 study, reported an increase

of endorphins associated with giving, creating a “helpers high.” Scientists have also linked the production of endorphins to decreasing the intensity of chron-ic pain. Don’t get tricked into think-ing that success in your pursuit of health is whether you look like a bikini model by the end of the month or not. Remember that wellness is much more than phys-ical activity alone, much more than nutrition alone. We are hard wired to connect with oth-ers. Helping others will improve your quality of life. Getting involved with others in the com-munity will improve your emo-tional health, and it will compli-ment all the other ways you seek to improve your health. Find a cause that you feel passionate about and get involved. That is what wellness is all about — your total health in spirit, mind and body.

EDUCATION

I f you’ve always wanted to try out West African drums or learn to play a keyboard, you’ll get

the chance to do both in Angie Loney’s class. The two units are the music instructor’s favorite things to teach. The drums are shared within the West Des Moines Community Schools, which includes Crossroads Park Elementary, where Loney works. Her class has 15 keyboards. As part of their instruction, students use them to make sound effects for stories. It’s just a sampling of the vari-ety of things kids learn from Loney. She teaches general music to kin-dergarten through sixth grade, and fifth- and sixth-grade chorus. Kindergartners are introduced to concepts such as keeping the beat and high and low tones. As kids get older, they progress to different rhythms and note reading. “By the end of sixth grade,” says Loney, “they write an eight-measure composition to perform for their classmates.” It’s a unique opportunity to be able to teach children for seven years and to see them learn and grow, she says. “They’re so excited and have so much energy and enthusiasm,” she says of working with the young students. Teaching is something Loney has done since childhood. She was always the teacher when “playing

school” with her younger brother, she recalls. “I’ve always loved children, and I knew I wanted to do something teaching children,” Loney says. In her work, she strives to instill a love of music in her stu-dents, exposing them to many genres. She wants them to become good music consumers who can make informed decisions about what they listen to, she says. But Loney explains that her class teaches kids more than just music. It reinforces reading con-cepts, they discuss how beat and rhythm are related to math and learn the songs from specific coun-tries they’re learning about in their regular classrooms. “Music is supporting the basic education all students need,” Loney says.

What do you like about Mrs. Loney?

Lauren Schulze: “I like her even though we have to wake up really early for chorus in the morning.”

Jackson Goodrich:“She’s not one of those strict teach-ers where you’re so bored you don’t learn anything.”

Elliot Baughman:“I like that she has everything under control. She has one thing that you do, basically.”

D ean and Courtney Hixenbaugh of Clive have found the perfect house for them-selves and their two children, Jeremiah,

2, and Rhema,1. The house is located on Sunset Terrace. They have only lived there for two months but have plans to make it their perma-nent residence. “The current owner is a childhood friend of my husband’s, and he is relocating to Boston. We have always admired his home,” Courtney says. Courtney says they chose the home because of the openness it has to offer, with plenty of room for the kids to play. The access throughout the entire house makes the living space convenient for the family of four. “The boys love to chase Mom and Dad

through the living room, kitchen, dining room and foyer without going up or down steps,” she says. The Hixenbaugh’s home boasts approxi-mately 2,000 square feet of living space, with three bedrooms and 2.5 baths. Courtney says they love the layout of the house. There is a lot of cabinet space and ample storage throughout the home. Location was another key factor for the Hixenbaugh family when it came time to make the decision to move to the house on Sunset Terrace. “We love the location,” Courtney says. “It is close to the greenbelt with a park 15 min-utes east of us by walking and another park 20 minutes west of us by walking. It is also close

to grocery stores, eating establishments and all the fun places we love to shop.” Courtney works for the Waukee School District as a special education associate, and Dean works for HSI as a union contrac-tor. When the work day ends, the family enjoys spending time together taking in all their new home has to offer. “It is a great neighborhood to take walks around as well,” Courtney says. “The neighbors we have met so far have been wonderful.”

HEALTH

Information provided by Dr. Chris Nelson, hip and knee surgeon, Des Moines Orthopaedic Surgeons, 6001 Westown Parkway, 224-4230.

Q: What is a meniscus tear, and how is it treated?A: Knee pain is one of the most common presenting complaints at most orthopaedic surgery offices. Meniscus tears are the most common knee inju-ry seen at orthopaedic centers. Menisci are cartilage structures in our knees that act as shock absorbers.

While menisci are very good at absorbing com-pressive loads, they can be easily torn with twisting movements. Another common mechanism of injury for damaging a meniscus is very deep bending, espe-cially deep bending while carrying or lifting heavy loads.

Pain over the inner or outer knee is the most common sign of a meniscal tear. Swelling in the knee is also frequently seen with meniscus tears. Screening X-rays or an MRI are typically taken for patients with persistent pain in the knee.

Nonsurgical treatment consists of rest, ice, anti-inflammatory medica-tions and physical therapy. Unfortunately, the majority of the meniscus has a very poor blood supply, which leads to poor healing, making surgical treatment of meniscal tears frequently necessary. Knee arthroscopy is an outpatient surgery that can be used to either trim or repair a torn meniscus. Thankfully, recovery from knee arthroscopy is typically rapid.

R etirement used to conjure up images of lazy days spent in a rocking chair. Today’s retire-

ment is very different. What does this redefined retirement mean to you? There is no one answer. In the coming decades, “retirement” will mean something different to each of us.

Income is keyA good starting point might be to examine your sources of retire-ment income. If you pay atten-tion to the financial press, you’ve probably come across at least a few commentators who speak in gloom-and-doom terms about the future for American retirees, decry-ing a lack of savings and warning of the imminent growth of the elderly population. This makes it even more impor-

tant for individuals to understand their goals and have a well-thought-out financial plan that focuses on the key source of retirement income: personal savings and investments. As you move through the vari-ous stages of the new retirement your plan may require adjustments along the way. Consider these fac-tors: You can project peri-ods of retirement, reeducation and full employment. Then concentrate on a plan to fund each of the sepa-rate periods. The number of years until you retire will influence the types of investments you include in your portfolio. While lower-risk fixed-income and money market investments may play an important role in your investment portfolio, if used alone they may leave you

susceptible to the erosive effects of inflation. To help your portfolio keep pace with inflation, you may need to maintain some growth-oriented investments. Over the long term, stocks have provided returns superior to other asset classes.1 Keep in mind that stocks generally involve greater short-term volatility. Even after you retire, taxes will remain an important fac-tor in your overall financial plan. If you return to work or open a busi-ness, for example, your tax bracket could change. In addition, should you move from one state to anoth-er, state or local taxes could affect your bottom line. Tax-advantaged investments, such as annuities and tax-free mutual funds, may be effec-tive tools for meeting your retire-ment goals. Tax deferral offered by

workplace plans — such as 401(k) and 403(b) plans — and IRAs may also help your retirement savings grow.

Prepare today for the retirement of tomorrowTo ensure that retirement lives up to your expectations, begin estab-lishing your plan as early as pos-sible and consider consulting with a professional.

LEGAL BRIEFS

A will is a crucial element in estate planning. All wills should have a des-

ignated executor who is charged with administering the estate of the person who passed away. It’s the executor’s job to gather and inventory all of the assets of the decedent, ensure that all debts and obligations of the estate are paid and to distribute the assets of the estate to the beneficiaries named in the will. The executor undertakes these and other duties as part of the court supervised probate process. So, who can serve as executor of your estate? With a few excep-tions, essentially any person could be named as executor of a will under Iowa law. Of course, most people don’t want just “anybody” to serve as their executor. Rather, they often prefer the executor of their will to be someone they trust

to do a good job in handling the estate. As a result, it is common to name a spouse as executor. Others name a first-born child or close relative to serve as executor. While it may sound logical to name a family member as execu-tor of your will, sometimes mak-ing that determination requires a deeper analysis. For most people, it is unlikely that they have frequent-ly, if ever, served as an executor in the past. Therefore, they often lack experience in undertaking the important duties that are involved. Serving as executor is often a dif-ficult endeavor, and a lack of expe-rience can prolong and complicate the probate process. Additionally, a family member may not be in an appropriate emotional condition to serve as executor while attempting to grieve over the loss of a loved one.

In many circumstances, it may be beneficial for a corporate fiducia-ry to serve as executor of an estate. Iowa law allows banks with trust departments to serve as executors. A bank trust department is read-ily equipped to serve as executor. Trust departments often have a great deal of experience in admin-istering estates and dealing with the probate process. Additionally, an experienced bank trust depart-

ment will operate objectively in their duties as executor. This can often result in the probate process being handled in a quicker and more efficient manner. Administering an estate is an important job. Therefore, deter-mining the appropriate person or entity to serve as executor is a task that should not be taken lightly. Information provided in this article is not intended to provide tax or legal advice. It is strongly advised that you discuss your specific circumstances with your tax, legal and financial advi-sors.
