Celebrating
The good news
15 Years
I
of Success!
By Shane Goodman, [email protected]
n decades past, newspapers large and small would publish annual
“Progress” editions that would showcase what was new in business,
industry, education and real estate. They were “feel-good” pieces that
focused on the positive growth in the communities the newspapers
served. They also served as an opportunity for local business owners to “toot
their own horn” with advertising about
all the positive changes that happened
with them in the prior 12 months. The
issues typically published in January or
February, which were slower times for
most newspaper staffs. Advertising sales
reps loved them because they offered
opportunities to earn extra commissions. Reporters, photographers and
designers hated them because they were
a lot of extra work for little or no extra
pay. And the delivery staff really cringed
as these were often the largest — and
heaviest — newspapers of the year.
As you know, times have changed, and newspapers are operating
with different playbooks than they were just a few years ago. Many have
stopped publishing Progress editions, and we think that’s a shame. So
we bring you our version, a feel-good piece about the changes in your
community during the past year and a glimpse into the future, at least
through the eyes of a handful of community leaders. Rather than publish
this as a separate section, we feel this news is important enough to warrant a cover story. So that’s exactly what we did. We hope you enjoy it,
and we look forward to continuing to provide you with the good news
of this community.

WAUKEE
NEW PROJECTS AND
EXPANSIONS BOOST THE
CITY’S ECONOMY
By Ashley Rullestad
Above: Aimee Staudt, director of development, Knapp Properties, Inc.; and Casey Shelton, vice
president of Brokerage Services, Knapp Properties, Inc., stand on a bulldozer in one of Waukee’s new
developments. Right: An artist’s rendering of the Alice’s Road corridor project.
he city of Waukee has seen significant residential growth during the
last decade, with a population that
was 13,790 in the 2010 census, an increase
of almost 200 percent in a 10-year span.
With the growth spurt have come new business developments and expansions. Major
employers in the city are adding jobs, and
the city has adopted a master plan for the
Alice’s Road Corridor, which is also expected to spur development and growth. With a
great school system, additional housing and
several quality of life projects, the future for
Waukee development looks bright.
T
Infrastructure improvement
In 2011, Waukee adopted a master plan for
the Alice’s Road Corridor from the planned
interchange at Interstate 80, north to the
Hickman Road intersection. The goal of
the plan was to provide a land use mix that
would create opportunities for job growth
within a designated employment core for
Waukee.
The City of Waukee is aggressively moving forward with the development of the
Alice’s Road Corridor between Interstate
80 and University Avenue. The overall corridor project has been split into smaller
www.iowalivingmagazines.com/waukee

projects based upon funding that will
be completed over the next several
years.
“The City has completed the
construction of the Alice’s Road
Sanitary Sewer Project in preparation for the new extension and
interchange,” says Development
Services Director Brad Deets. “This
trunk sewer will serve close to 600
acres of development land.”
The project involves the construction of a four-lane boulevard,
with plans for it to be expanded
to six lanes in the future. The
project will also include a series of
ponds that will be developed for
storm water management purposes
in addition to a greenway amenity
within the corridor. Construction
on the project is anticipated to
begin this fall and be completed in
October of 2014.
“Our current schedule for
Alice’s Road construction is to bid
out the portion of Alice’s Road
between University Avenue to
Ashworth Road in late October of
6
Waukee Living
SEPTEMBER | 2013
2013,” Deets says. “The hope is that
grading work will commence yet
this fall, with utilities and paving to
be completed on this segment next
year.”
This project entails the construction of a diverging diamond
interchange on Interstate 80 as well
as the paving of a six-lane roadway extending from the bridge to
Ashworth Road. The diverging diamond design makes the planned
Alice’s Road Interchange the first of
its kind in Iowa.
Under this design, travelers
over Interstate 80 are directed to
the opposite side (left) of the bridge
and then redirected back to the
traditional drive lane on the right.
While difficult to imagine, this allows
for a quicker access to the interstate
itself without having to make the
turn in front of oncoming traffic.
While the overall corridor plan
is simple in concept, it also provides
flexibility within the corridor as
market conditions and developers
begin to analyze the landscape and
www.iowalivingmagazines.com/waukee
make decisions that balance the
city’s intent for creating a meaningful
place while addressing the developer and employer needs of space and
prestige. The central focus of the
corridor, the place most Waukee
residents will see value, is in the
development of a large greenway.
Different from the well-known
Clive Greenbelt, this system of
regional detention ponds flanked
with planned trails will become
the hallmark of the community for
outdoor recreation and linkage to
entertainment venues. The green
corridor will provide pedestrian
access to the commercial retailers, employers and community venues that begin to take shape along
Alice’s Road. As the final touches
are placed on Alice’s Road, two
prominent crossings underneath the
road will make this green avenue a
fun route to favorite destinations.
In order to complete this planning,
the city has also recently hired
Confluence, a local planning/landscape architectural firm, that will be
doing additional planning related to
the Alice’s Road Corridor.
“The planning will include specific district plans as well as specific
property plans,” Deets says. “They
will also be doing all of the planning
and design for all of the median
landscaping, streetscaping and public
amenities anticipated to be a part of
the corridor along with additional
marketing analysis and branding.”
Housing boom
During the past several years, the
city has continued to see steady
growth of its residential population.
In just two short years, the Waukee
community is estimated to have
grown another 15.02 percent from
the 2010 census count of 13,790.
Based upon the 2012 census projection of 15,931, Waukee is poised
to see close to 22,000 residents
by 2020, a number that could have
the community surpassing its metro
counterparts Clive and Johnston.
Waukee remains first in the state in
percentage growth rate and fifth in

The new community center is located at 675 Walnut St. The building is a remodel of the former City Fire Station that occupied the space until 1998. There are two rooms
inside that can be used for parties and social gatherings.
total population gain.
“Residential growth has again
taken off this year,” says Deets. “To
date, the city has issued 132 singlefamily permits, which is three more
than we issued in all of 2012, and we
still have four months to go.”
New residential plats have
also increased. So far in 2013, 109
single-family residential lots and
123 townhome lots have been
approved. The city is also in various stages of approval of bringing
on an additional 475 single-family
residential lots over the next six to
nine months.
“We’re seeing a lot more interest than we did years ago,” says
Waukee Economic Development
Corporation Executive Director
Clark Smith. “There is some pentup demand. The housing numbers
are looking good, and with all the
things going on with Alice’s Road,
that’s spurring a lot of interest.”
One developer taking advantage of the housing landscape is
Knapp Properties. Waukee’s newest residential subdivision, Prairie
Crossing, is now in development
in the northwest corner of Alice’s
Road and Hickman Road. More than
70 residential lots will be available
this November.
The Crossing at Alice’s Road
will also feature retail, commercial
and industrial lots. The retail component of this site is anchored to
the east by the new Hy-Vee.
“Obviously the Hy-Vee has
been a catalyst for a lot of activity
in the area,” says Aimee Staudt,
director of development for Knapp
Properties. “Lots are in a shortage
this year, and we wanted to get
moving and get some inventory. It’s
a good place to do business. The
city is easy to work with, and things
are just growing like crazy. We have
72 lots in Prairie Crossing, and we
have only 10-11 that aren’t sold, and
we don’t even have all the streets
in.”
and the west side of Des Moines
and like being located here,” says
Director of Finance and Operations
Jay Agard. “A lot of our employees
live in the area, and we all enjoy the
Waukee School District. It’s great to
see the city of Waukee growing, and
it’s great to be a part of something
that’s growing.”
Because of its continued growth,
the company has acquired a new
45,000-square-foot warehouse in
Waukee. The company has doubled
in the last couple years and expects
to double again in the next few years.
“We’re in a good spot to
continue making acquisitions and
growing that way,” Agard says.
“And we’re happy to be doing it in
Waukee.”
Business growth
Companies located in Waukee are
also seeing great things within their
businesses. Some are expanding
their facilities, while others are adding employees. Some are doing both.
Waukee-based Access Systems is
one such business.
Access Systems was founded in
1986 and is one of the oldest technology companies in the nation
“We definitely enjoy Waukee
Community development
Due the residential growth,the city
has also worked hard to ensure residents have certain amenities available. Employees are interested in
living where they work, and they’re
interested in a community that is
forward thinking when it comes to
a great school district and quality of
life projects.
In August, The City of Waukee
held a ribbon cutting as part of the
www.iowalivingmagazines.com/waukee
WaukeeFest celebration to officially
open the new community center
located at 675 Walnut Street. The
building is a remodel of the former
City Fire Station that occupied the
space until 1998.
Waukee has been fortunate
enough to receive a bequest from
the Hiram Ori family to add a community gathering space onto the
Waukee Public Library. The addition
features a meeting room as well as a
coalmining exhibit reflecting on the
mining heritage of the Waukee area.
The meeting room will be named
the “Ori Coal Mine Meeting Room”
in memorial of the late Hiram Ori
and in honor of the coalmining
heritage of the family. The interior
of the building has been designed
to reflect the inside of a mineshaft.
The new addition is planned to be
completed and open to the public in
late October 2013.
“We’re the fastest growing
town in Iowa for a reason,” Smith
says. “Great schools and great amenities are a big draw for potential
employees. The population growth
alone causes a lot of the interest.
The more people, the more businesses want to be here. We expect
great things in the future.” Q

A financial power of attorney
is “durable” in the sense that it
survives incapacity. If you become
unable to manage your own financial affairs, your agent can use the
power of attorney to pay your
bills, manage investments and prevent the waste of your assets.
A power of attorney can be
a useful tool to ensure continuity
in your affairs if you are unable
to tend to them yourself. The
instrument is not subject to court
approval or rejection and can only
be challenged under limited circumstances. It allows another person to step in and make decisions
about your financial affairs.
However, a power of attorney
involves a high degree of trust
between you and your agent. You
must ensure that the person acting
on your behalf knows your wishes
and is ready to carry them out.
You must also be certain that the
agent will not abuse the position,
since he or she will have control
over your property and assets.
Financial exploitation can be
subtle. Family members may ask
a cognitively-impaired person for
repeated loans they never intend
to repay. Others will write themselves checks, expecting that the
senior won’t notice or won’t
remember. Some may justify a gift
of money to themselves because
they are looking after the senior
and feel that they deserve something in return. A trusted agent can
abuse a power of attorney to drain
a bank account.
Elder financial abuse can be
financially and emotionally devastating. Incidents are on the rise
because of a slow economy and
an aging population. You can take
some basic steps to protect yourself, your assets and your loved
ones.
Be suspicious if an elderly person becomes socially isolated, has
a new “best friend” or companion, is unavailable to come to the
phone or is hesitant to have contact others unless the caregiver is
present.
Be alert to missing property,
large or unexplained withdrawals
from bank accounts, reimbursements or gifts to caregivers, unfamiliar signatures on checks and
changes in spending patterns.
Preventing financial exploitation often requires taking legal
precautions. Your agent can act
on your behalf and can do anything
with your money, even without
your knowledge. Consider carefully to whom you give financial
power of attorney and make sure
that it is drafted by a competent
attorney. Q

By Philip West
Life insurance
isn’t for people
who die...it’s for
the people who
live
The good life
It’s not too soon to think about life insurance
By Philip West
eal world. Two words that
will make any college student stop and take a deep
breath. Here’s another two words
that should make you do the same
thing: life insurance.
Whoa. Slow down. That’s for
people who listen to ’50s music,
not 50 Cent. Right? Wrong.
There are many reasons to
have life insurance. Dying is not
something you like to think about,
but it is a fact we all must face. No
matter what your major is, death is
the final exam we all have to take.
And like any other exam, a lot
depends on how prepared you are.
Let’s say you were no longer alive. What kind of debt do
you currently have? Add together
student loans, credit cards, car
loans and any other debts you
have. Who would pay for those
things? They don’t just vanish like
your roommate when the phone
bill comes. Your family members
might be stuck with the check.
That’s on top of grieving over you.
You are probably fairly young
and, for the most part, healthy.
Purchasing a life insurance policy
now is the best time because rates
are pretty inexpensive. The older
you get, the more expensive life
R
insurance gets because you are
more likely to die.
Just how much does life insurance cost? It depends on several
factors, such as your medical history and whether you are a smoker,
but it can be as cheap as the price
of a pizza every month.
But what is life insurance? The
basic ones are term and whole life.
Term insurance is just that — it
lasts for a certain term. If you
die during the term (let’s say 20
years), whoever you named as
a beneficiary would receive the
money. After those 20 years the
life insurance is gone, unless it is
converted to a whole life policy.
Whole life insurance you can
potentially keep your whole life.
Premiums are more expensive
because your chances of dying are
hovering right around 100 percent.
If you have more questions
about life insurance, give me a call
at (515) 223-7182 or send an email
message to [email protected].
Oh. And welcome to the real
world.

hink “Angry Birds” is nothing more than an addictive
pastime?
Check out Matt Lohmann’s
math class, and you’ll see otherwise.
The teacher at Prairieview in
Waukee has used the video game
of sling shooting birds at pig targets in explaining parabolas and
what happens when you manipulate trajectory.
It’s just one example of how
technology in the classroom has
grown in the time he’s been a
teacher, says Lohmann, who is in
his 19th year with the Waukee
Community School District. He
also uses different software and
tools to share information, including the iPad. Lohmann teaches
algebra, geometry and algebra II.
The environment of teaching
math has also changed over time,
Lohmann says. Now, professional
learning communities in the school
give teachers the opportunity to
work together so they can better
meet students’ needs.
That collaborative spirit has
trickled down to the classroom,
with students helping one another
more than before, he says. The
class environment is also more
comfortable, and students feel free
to communicate with each other.
Still, math can be a hard sell for
some students. One way Lohmann
tries to address their apprehension is to talk about their mindset
toward the subject.

A: If you ask anyone on the street what organ is responsible for running the
body, most will say, “the brain.” A few might think the heart is in charge,
but all muscles need the brain and nerve system to tell them how to work
properly, and the heart is a muscle.
It has been reported that almost 100 years ago, in Davenport, Iowa, the
birthplace of chiropractic, Dr. B.J. Palmer, the developer of chiropractic, was
asked by a stranger, “I hear that there are a lot of chiropractors around here.
What’s their story?” Dr. Palmer replied, “Well, those crazy chiropractors
believe that if you cut off someone’s head, and sever their brain from their
body, the person will die.”
“That doesn’t sound so crazy to me,” the stranger remarked. Dr. Palmer
leaned in and continued, “Yes, but they also believe that if you sever the brain
from the body just a little bit, then the person will die just a little bit.”
Pretty much everybody knows that the brain has to be connected to
the body. But most people don’t realize that the brain’s connection can be
interfered with by bones in the spine going out of place.
Doctors of chiropractic are the experts that detect and correct misalignments in your structure, relieving nerve stress – if you are not yet under chiropractic care, how would you know if your bones are cutting off your brain
just a little bit? See your chiropractor, and make sure your family gets regular
checkups – it’s a missing link to good health that everyone should act upon. Q

learn, even if you don’t have an
aptitude for it,” he says. He also
tries to make math relatable to
them, by doing things such as
likening a basketball’s arc with a
parabola.
Parents can also help by
encouraging their kids to have an
open mind.
“Don’t tell your kids you were
bad at math, because it sort of
enables them to say that, ‘I can’t
do math,’ ” Lohmann says.
Growing up, math came naturally to Lohmann. He decided to
become a teacher because he’s
always enjoyed working with kids.
Lohmann likes working with the
ninth graders at Prairieview because
they’re old enough to have adultlike conversations, but are young
enough where there’s still an opportunity to influence and help them.
“I like this age group because
I consider them young adults,” he
says. Q

Grandmother’s recipe pleases today’s families

five kids and knew how to make economical, filling meals. I always
use 90 percent lean hamburger, and I add a half cup of Parmesan
cheese to the cottage cheese filling when I make it.

or we are God’s masterpiece.
He created us anew in Christ
Jesus, so we can do the good
things He planned for us long ago.”
Ephesians 2:10
www.iowalivingmagazines.com/waukee
More than a decade ago, when
the 43-year-old mother of two
Jamie Lee Curtis insisted on posing for a More magazine’s cover in
her “natural form,” it shocked the
world. The fact that it was such a
shocking news story at the time
to see the heart-throb, “sex symbol” of big screen cinema as she
naturally appears in her mirror at
home — before a dozen makeup
and hair artists get their hands on
her — is sort of appalling, a sign
that perhaps society has been led
astray.
“I need to be the person I look
at every morning when I wake
up and stand in the mirror, you
know, kind of as God intended
me to look,” Curtis explained to
the San Francisco Chronicle in
2002. “What I’m scared of is that
that’s what women have become
accustomed to needing to feel
good about themselves, and show
business and media and magazines
don’t help by promoting these
images of women that are completely airbrushed, that are completely altered, to then give you,
the unsuspecting buyer, this fake
sense of that that’s what people
are supposed to look like.”
To combat that trend, Cathy
Mullen and her team from Point of
Grace Church, formed “Image.”
Spread the Word
Have an upcoming event or
church news you would like to
announce? Send information to
[email protected].
“Why not find out what our
Creator has to say about us and
the way we are created?” Mullen
says. “God says He created us
on purpose and for a purpose.
He says we are a masterpiece;
accepted and loved.”
So the POG Women’s Ministry
will host another gathering of
“Image,” an event for women of
all ages, to join in celebration of
the way they are created in God’s
image. The event promises not only
food, fun, music and games but also
“an inspirational message that will
be sure to send you out encouraged and inspired,” Mullen says.
The Friday night event will be
held at 7 p.m. on Oct. 4 in the
Point of Grace Church auditorium. Tickets are $10 per person,
and all women of all ages, all sizes
and all kinds, are welcome. For
more information, email Cathy at

health Q&A

Q: How do I make deposits in
my ‘health account’?
A: Health is not about bad or good luck with your genes. Getting old
does not mean you should have more health problems and more pain.
Your health choices ultimately determine what genes are expressed or
not expressed. I’m not saying that genes don’t play a role — they do
— but they are not the determining factor in your health. Being healthy
requires regular deposits in your “health” account.
Our society is about getting quick results right now by taking care of
the symptoms, not the problem. High blood pressure, high cholesterol,
pain and other health conditions usually result from poor health choices
and stress. Getting healthy and reducing your physical, chemical, and
emotional stress will eliminate the problems.
Here are five healthy choices you can start with. To learn more about
incorporating these choices into your lifestyle, come listen to our next “8
Weeks to Wellness orientation.” Check the office and website for details.
Have your spine and nervous system checked by a chiropractor.
Your nervous system controls everything. Make sure it’s working at
100 percent. Eat healthy — five or six small meals a day with a balanced
portion of carbs, protein and fat. Exercise three or four times a week
for 30-45 minutes. Include cardio and resistance training. Relaxation
techniques such as massage, meditation, yoga, reading, etc can help relax
your mind. Sleep. Q

Headaches and
facial pain and
TMD — oh my!
Treatment can improve or alleviate symptoms
By Dr. Steffany Mohan, Plaza Dental Group
etsy is a 42-year-old mom of
three, teacher, wife and daily
headache sufferer.
Actually, she is a former headache sufferer. It turns out she has
been taking medication for more
than five years for “headaches”
that were actually misdiagnosed.
What she actually had was TMD.
Matt is a married dad of three
young children who also had daily
headaches. What he actually had
was TMD combined with facial
pain. Matt is also a former headache sufferer, a very happy one,
just like Betsy.
Many temporomandibular joint
disorder (TMD for short) patients
have symptoms that include headache, jaw pain, face pain and joint
pain. There are many treatments
and therapies for TMD, but some
are much more effective than others. The only way to effectively
treat TMD, facial pain and headaches is with a proper diagnosis.
This can be very difficult in many
cases. It takes time, patience and
excellent diagnostic aids, such as
a imaging, digital bite scanning and
range of motion tests to uncover
just exactly where symptoms originate.
TMD-related
problems
include:
s4IGHTMUSCLES
s*OINTINFLAMMATION
s*OINTDAMAGE
B
s4EETHGRINDINGORCLENCHING
Treatments for TMD may
require a combination therapy
of temporary diet changes, new
habits for managing stress and
maintaining the health of your jaw,
medication to reduce pain and
inflammation, therapy to reduce
pressure on the joint and muscles
and restore function and dental
treatment to reduce pressure on
the joint. In many cases, an orthotic or bite splint that is worn at
night during sleep is a very effective treatment for TMD. In most
cases, a dentist who is trained to
help TMD patients can help to
improve or alleviate symptoms.
In Betsy and Matt’s cases, not
only did their daily headaches
completely go away, they also feel
as if they got their lives back. That
is the best thing that we can hope
for as a healthcare provider. Q

A great time to
join the Chamber
Meet new members at variety of events
By Vickie Dornfeld, Waukee Area Chamber president
abor Day has come and gone
already. The kids are back
in school, and vacations are
done. Now is a great time to
become involved in the Chamber.
It is an awesome time to be
part of Waukee, and development
is booming. Thanks to everyone
for joining the city of Waukee
and the Waukee Area Chamber
of Commerce to help Hy-Vee
celebrate its grand opening with
a ribbon cutting ceremony. The
Waukee Economic Development
Bus Tour was held in early
September and filled more than
100 seats to showcase our growing community. Guests enjoyed
an After Hours at Gilcrest/Jewett
afterwards. Thanks to all members of the Chamber’s Economic
Development Committee and to
board chair Brandon Patterson
for making this inaugural event a
success.
The Chamber’s Government
Affairs Committee held a school
board election forum to give
everyone a chance to hear from
the candidates before election day.
This committee will also host a city
council election forum on Oct. 15.
The new Waukee Chamber
official membership directory and
community guide was mailed out
Sept. 5. Pick up an extra copy at
