Jewel Box BankGrinnell’s very own...

Renown architect Louis H.

Sullivan was absolute in

his belief that there should be

continuity between structures and

their environment.

It was that philosophy that led

to the design of the Merchants

National Bank building in Grinnell,

one of eight such Jewel-Box bank

buildings constructed between 1908

and 1920.

Sullivan is considered the “Father

of the American Skyscraper,” the

genius who single-handedly worked

to forge a uniquely American

architectural style and, in turn,

became the spiritual leader of the

Prairie School design that was made

famous by Frank Lloyd Wright, a

protege of Sullivan.

Sullivan designed the building in

late 1913, with construction taking

place during a 10-month period

in 1914 at a cost of $60,000. The

grand opening was held on Jan. 1,

1915, and one newspaper reporter

wrote, “The new Merchants Bank

building is not a mere building. It

is a creation. It was realized fi rst in

the mind of Louis H. Sullivan. Mr.

Sullivan dreamed the building. The

building is his dream come true.”

Located at the corner of Fourth

and Broad streets, the Merchants

National Bank building draws

thousands of visitors to Grinnell

each year. The building has been

home to the Grinnell Chamber of

Commerce since 1999.

Note: The material for this article was taken from an article written by Bill Menner entitled: Louis Sullivan: The Road to Grinnell.

Josiah Bushnell Grinnell, a native of Vermont, was the person to whom Horace Greeley gave his

famous advice, “Go West, young man, go West.” Grinnell took that advice and in 1854 founded

the city that now bears his name. A leader in

state government, Grinnell in 1857 chaired the

legislative committee that planned Iowa’s system of

public education from the elementary through the

university level. A foe of slavery, he gave shelter

in 1859 to the fiery abolitionist John Brown after

Brown’s anti-slavery raids in Kansas and Missouri.

J.B. Grinnell also made his community a stop on

the Underground Railroad, with about 1,000 freed

slaves passing through the town in the years before

the Civil War. After a devastating tornado struck

Grinnell in 1882, and again after fire destroyed

much of the business district in 1889, the founder

led the rebuilding efforts that resulted in a renewed

community.

The city is the home of Grinnell College, a private

coeducational liberal arts institution founded as Iowa

College in Davenport in 1846. The college, which

moved to Grinnell in 1859, was the first institution

west of the Mississippi River to grant a bachelor’s

degree.

Grinnell has many excellent examples of 19th

century residential, commercial, and institutional

architecture, with several structures listed on the

National Register of Historic Places. The city’s most

notable building is the Grinnell Sullivan Bank (See

photos on this page) now owned by Wells Fargo,

originally the Merchants National Bank of Grinnell.

See related story on preceding page.

Note: The above are excerpts from a statement written by the late William A. Deminoff, former Secretary of Grinnell College, for a plaque erected at the Grinnell Rest Area on Interstate 80 by the State Historical Society of Iowa and the Iowa Department of Transportation.

Grinnell is recognized as a safe, progressive and metropolitan

city by many organizations. Accolades include: #1 city in the nation

to live in or relocate to; #3 coolest small town in America; one

of America’s most walkable communities; a walker’s paradise;

the coolest small town in the Midwest; one of America’s prettiest

painted places; and one of the 100 best small towns in America.

Grinnell is located on Interstate 80 in East Central Iowa and

has a population of 9,200 people, an increase of nearly 4% since

the last census. Grinnell is the region’s population and business

magnet, with an increase in population of 18% during business

hours. Grinnell retains all the charm that has made this historic

city famous, yet is within minutes of major metropolitan areas.

With I-35 and Des Moines only 45 minutes from Grinnell along

I-80, all of the major metropolitan areas of the Midwest are easily

accessible. In fact, more than 1.3 million people live within 70

miles of Grinnell.

Grinnell is a dynamic, thriving community of hard-working

residents employed by a diverse range of business: Grinnell Regional

Medical Center, H-W Brand, ASI Modulex Signs, Engineered

Plastic Components, Miraco, Ashing Machine and Tool Company,

Manatt’s, Pulmuone Wildwood Natural Foods, ImageFirst Signs,

Rock Creek Athletics, McGill AirFlow Corporation, R.C. Industry,

Monsanto, Grinnell Mutual Reinsurance Company, The Donaldson

Company, Jeld-Wen Windows & Doors and VanWyk Freight

Lines.

Rooted in its agricultural heritage, Grinnell is surrounded

by productive farm operations that contribute to the city’s

economic progress. Diverse livestock and grain operations provide

opportunities for emerging alternative crops and added value

initiatives and Grinnell enjoys a strong local food movement.

The City is home to Grinnell College, one of the country’s

premier liberal arts institutions. “U.S. News & World Reports”

annually rates the college as one of the top colleges in the nation.

The diverse student population of about 1,600 historically comes

from nearly every state and many foreign countries.

The commitment to quality education and lifelong learning

spans the entire educational system in Grinnell. Pre-K – 2nd

elementary schools, a 3-4 elementary school, a 5-8 middle school

and a 9-12 high school meet the education needs of the city. Iowa

schools rank highly in quality of education, and Grinnell is regularly

rated highly within the state. High school students have access to

advanced placement and honors classes, and have the opportunity

to extend their learning through partnerships with Grinnell College

and Iowa Valley Community College. The educational program

at Grinnell Middle School is designed around a philosophy that

includes a family-centered concept at 5th grade, an advisor-advisee

program and a comprehensive exploratory program. Elementary

schools feature favorable class sizes with extra educational

support through Title I Reading Programs and a Reading Recovery

Program. Grinnell-Newburg Community Schools also offer

programs for students with special needs, including an Extending

Learning Program for talented and gifted students and special

at-risk programs at both Grinnell Middle School and Grinnell High

School, as well as a comprehensive special education program.

In addition, for those students who prefer an alternative setting

for high school, New Horizons Alternative School is located in

the community center. An accredited and non-denominational

Christian school is also located in Grinnell, serving students K-8.

Excellence in health care is provided through is the 81-bed

Grinnell Regional Medical Center and its 50-plus staff physicians.

GRMC has an excellent balance of primary care physicians,

specialists and state of the art equipment and technology. Area

retirement communities and facilities for the elderly include

Mayfl ower Community, Friendship Manor, St. Francis Manor and

Windsor Manor – these extend the range and quality of health care

and provide extended care and quality supervised living.

Grinnell offers a wide variety of restaurants and many

recreational areas. Ahrens-Paschall Memorial park is more than

100 acres with a 20,000 sq ft family center, playgrounds, trails,

ball diamonds and a multipurpose gym. A nine-hole private golf

course with pool and clubhouse restaurant is located within the

city limits and a public 18-hole course is just a few minutes west

of the city. The new Grinnell Mutual Family Aquatic Center has

two water slides, a lazy river, pool, splash zone and more. Parks

include Central Park, complete with gazebo and the city’s many

neighborhood parks offer residents of all ages a chance to sit back

and enjoy the good life.

Grinnell is a community that embraces her past. J.B Grinnell,

Hallie Flanagan Davis, Harry Hopkins, Billy Robinson and

Robert Noyce are but a few renowned fi gures who helped shape

Grinnell and whose lives were impacted by this unique city.

Their contributions to Grinnell are documented and preserved in

Grinnell’s new Drake Library, the Grinnell Historical Museum and

the Grinnell College Archives.

The tree-lined residential areas of Grinnell abound with prime

examples of historic Midwestern craftsmanship, ranging from Arts

and Crafts and Prairie School through stately Queen Annes and

Victorians.

The city’s spiritual needs are served by 25 churches and an

active ministerial organization. Along with area service clubs

and organizations, these bring people together through volunteer

and mentoring opportunities to strengthen the quality of life for

everyone in the community.

The Ahrens Park Foundation

was established in 1997 as

a private operating foundation.

The Ahrens Park Foundation

owns and operates Ahrens/

Paschall Memorial Park,

located in Grinnell, IA and is

a “sibling” foundation to the

Claude W. and Dolly Ahrens

Foundation and Claude W.

Ahrens Charitable Trust.

The Ahrens Park Foundation

is dedicated to providing fi rst

class recreational and athletic

facilities while partnering

with wellness, educational

and recreational programs and

Mid-Iowa Community Action, City of

Grinnell Parks & Recreation Department,

Grinnell Little League, Grinnell-Newburg

Iowa Amateur Softball Association.

Ahrens/Paschall Memorial Park is

named after Claude and Dolly’s son, the

late Paul W. Ahrens, who passed away

in 1989 at the age of fi fty, and a friend

of Paul’s, Jim Paschall, who also passed

away at a fairly young age.

Building a recreational park had always

been a life long dream for both Claude and

his son, Paul.

home to CLL’s eight youth softball fi elds

and baseball fi elds, two outdoor basketball

courts, two tennis courts, a sand volleyball

court, three youth soccer fi elds, a golf

driving range, several playground areas,

shelters, a sledding hill, and a one and a

half mile outdoor walking path.

Family Center, the Grinnell Athletic and

Recreation Center, and the foundation

offi ces for both the Claude W. and Dolly

Ahrens Foundation and the Ahrens Park

Foundation.

The Iowa Park and Recreation

Association Headquarters and Iowa

Amateur Softball Association are located

next door to the park.

Today, the Ahrens/Paschall Memorial

Park is comprised of over one hundred

acres of land.

Highlights include:

• The Grinnell Athletic & Recreation

Center (the GARC) was built in 1998 and

includes a multi-purpose gymnasium,

locker rooms, a vending area, two offi ces,

and an open lobby.

• The Ahrens Family Center was built

in 1994, and is a 30,000 square foot

facility, housing the Grinnell Community

Daycare and Preschool, as well as Head

Start classrooms.

With a recent addition, the Ahrens

Family Center has 14 classrooms, a

gymnasium, a 20 by 35 foot swimming

pool where small children are taught to

swim, and a large kitchen facility.

Outdoors, there are two fenced-in play

areas with playground equipment and safe

tile surfacing for children who attend the

center to play.

• The 5,400 square foot administrative

foundation offi ces for the Ahrens Park

Foundation and Claude W. and Dolly

Ahrens Foundation facility is comprised

of a large reception/waiting area, nine

offi ce rooms, three conference rooms, two

kitchens and several restrooms.

The foundation offi ces facility was

originally built in 2006. A recent building

expansion was completed in February,

2011.

Offi ces for the Greater Poweshiek

Community Foundation and Imagine

Grinnell are also housed here along

with several Grinnell College student

apprentices and Grinnell College work

study students assisting all of the various

partner organizations.

All administrative and grant-making

functions occur at the foundation

offi ces. Various charitable programs run

by foundation include the Community

Support Services, Dolly Ahrens

Scholarship Award, Leave It Better Than

You Found It and Lend A Hand.

The Ahrens Park administrative facility

GRINNELL REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Hometown HealthcareG

rinnell Regional

Medical Center enjoys

the exclusivity of

being a nationally rated, top

rural medical center, based on

quality, safety, and effi ciency. A

resident medical staff of more

than 50 active practitioners

brings continued growth to

the services provided. Our

physicians and staff make it

possible for area residents to

stay close to home and take

advantage of expertise that is

otherwise located hours away.

As a nonprofi t organization,

GRMC spends revenues from

patient services on improved

patient care and the organization.

Quality, hometown medical

care is the only incentive for

providing our services. The

medical center and departments

are not beholden to shareholders

or other outside, profi t-driven

stakeholders or owners.

Two areas where this is

most important and apparent

are hospice and home health

services.

Grinnell Regional Hospice

was established in 1981 by a

group of volunteers who saw

the need in their community

to provide their neighbors

and loved ones with quality

end-of-life care. Today hospice

in Grinnell has evolved into an

offi cial department of Grinnell

Regional Medical Center and

continues to offer excellent

hometown care. An important

feature of Grinnell Regional

Hospice is the personal and

compassionate involvement of

specially-trained community

volunteers.

Affi rming the dignity

and worth of life, Grinnell

Regional Hospice provides

services to people who have a

life expectancy of six months

or less. Hospice services are

provided at home, in nursing

homes and/or in the hospital.

The hospice team includes a

medical director, nurses, social

workers, home health aides, a

chaplain, pharmacists, dietitians,

massage therapists, volunteers

and others professionals who

work to ensure quality of life at

the end of life.

Home is where the heart

is. Grinnell Regional Home

Care provides care for people

who need assistance while

recovering at home. Staff

understand the importance of

recovering from an illness,

injury, or debilitating condition

in the comforts of home. It’s

easier than ever with the wide

range of services, technology,

and most important, the caring

professional staff of Grinnell

Regional Home Care. The care

provided is supervised by your

physician. Nurses, home health

aides, medical social services,

and other rehabilitation

therapists are able to come into

your home and help ensure that

your needs are met.

Grinnell Regional Hospice

and home care referrals may

be made by your physician,

yourself, a relative, friend,

hospital staff, or a community

agency.

For more information or

to request Grinnell Regional

Medical Center’s Hospice and

Home Health services call

641-236-2418 or 641-236-2385.

Grinnell College: A Unique Community The city of Grinnell has been home to

Grinnell College since 1858. The people

of Grinnell have developed a unique

community, with 150 year of experience as

a place dedicated to higher education.

Grinnell College enrolls about 1,600

undergraduate students from every U.S.

state, the District of Columbia, and more

than 50 countries. The College attracts

students who value personal achievement,

the College’s deep commitment to the

community of Grinnell. College events offer

Grinnell residents cultural, intellectual,

and entertainment opportunities rare for

a community of this size. The Faulconer

Gallery, Bucksbaum Center for the Arts, and

Gale Observatory draw visitors from around

the region. The Offi ce of Community

Enhancement and the Community Services

Center testify to the College’s role as

economic partner and citizen in Grinnell.

The Center for Prairie Studies refl ects

appreciation for the surroundings, while

the Center for International Studies and

the Rosenfi eld Program in Public Affairs,

International Relations, and Human

Rights bring a cosmopolitan energy to the

community.

If you’re tired of impersonal pharmacy service, long lines and never seeing the same pharmacist behind the counter, you should consider switching to your local Medicap Pharmacy® store.

The Medicap Pharmacy® store focus is pharmacy, quality health care products, and services. Plus, they offer periodic health care screenings. They offer easy access to the pharmacist, prompt, friendly personalized service, and because most stores are locally owned, you’ll see the same familiar face behind the counter. When you’re ready to transfer your prescriptions, don’t worry, just stop in, they’ll make it easy!.

Now, that’s a healthy dose of reality.

My Reality...“I worried about transferring my prescriptions.”

Christmas Share making smiles By J.O. [email protected]

The Poweshiek County Christmas Share program has been making

Christmas brighter for area families for more than 20 years. Pam Montgomery, volunteer and chair of the 2011 Christmas Share, said the outreach provided gifts to 220 families representing 653 people. The gifts are donated by local church-es, organizations, businesses and in-dividuals who sponsor the families. In conjunction with Christmas Share, Goodfellows provides a com-plete Christmas dinner for each fam-ily, as well as enough food to carry them into the new year. “It’s amazing what people do,” Montgomery said of the two out-reaches. “It’s a great way of touching 653 people in a small way.” Families receiving the gifts and food are required to sign up for the outreach in the fall. Families are identifi ed only by a number.

“Sponsors purchase gifts which are suggested on the sign up sheets, wrap them and deliver them (to a central location) so they can be dis-tributed to families,” Montgomery said. All the sorting, packing, last min-ute wrapping and distribution takes place in Grinnell. The gifts and food will be distributed to area families in mid-December. Vo l u n t e e r s come from Grinnell College, Grinnell High School and from all across the Grinnell community. Christmas Share is sponsored by Second Mile and has been providing Christmas gifts to area families since 1991. Goodfellows is a volunteer-based program that was founded in 1913 by Adah Hopkins. Goodfellows is sponsored by the Focht-Tennant Post 53 of the American Legion Aux-

iliary. “Our (Goodfellows) sole purpose is to provide food over the holidays for people who are disadvantaged,” said Montgomery. “We don’t ask or solicit funds from any individual (or company), but we always have money

to buy for every family.” Sign up for the 2012 Christmas Share is Nov. 5-10 at the First Pres-byterian Church, 1025 5th Ave., Grin-nell. For more information, contact Montgomery at 641- 990-0404.

delivery to area families in 2011. Christmas Share has been distributing gifts across the county since

1991.

small way.”Pam Montgomery,

Chair of Christmas Share

Goodfellows is an organization that was stared by Adah Hopkins (Harry Hopkins sister), in 1913. As she wrote, Adah had a burden for the people that were disad-

vantaged, needy and hurting. "She developed this organization to raise funds to purchase food packages for needy people," noted Pam Montgomery. "These gifts were then delivered to disad-vantaged families just before the holidays." When Adah left Grinnell, the program was turned over to O. Dale Smith until he was unable to continue. Midge Bailey assumed the coordinator’s role until she could not continue and then Jerry Slebiska picked up the responsibilities. When Jerry passed away, Shirley Sears became the organizer. Pam Montgomery took over the responsibility this year. "The Goodfellows have cared enough to carry this program forward for 97 years and it is still going strong," Montgomery said. "I have a great admiration for each and every one of them for having put forth great efforts and contributions to help those in need, which I think truly embraces the spirit of the program when it was started 97 years ago." In the past few years, Goodfellows have opted to give grocery cards to recipients, but this year, the organization will be distributing food. "As we continue to receive donations, we are confi dent that we will provide food packages to every family that signed up this year," Montgomery said.
