Dubuque Regional Airport
The Dubuque Regional Airport is developing a new passenger terminal complex to provide
an enhanced gateway to the community and the region. Approximately 80,000 – 100,000 airline
passengers travel through the
airport on an annual basis. A
new passenger terminal facility
is necessary to address capacity
constraints; current and future
security requirements implemented after September 11, limited aircraft parking area, and
limited vehicle parking associated with the existing terminal
area. The new facility will address these deficiencies and provide an enhanced level of service
for commercial air travelers.
Over the past 10 years, the
airport has completed the required planning, programming,
design, and public coordination
to implement this important

Ecumenical Tower
The storm pounded on the
roof of the trailer. Below, the
floodwaters steadily rose. It
was dark outside, but in the
lightning, Millie could see how
dire their circumstances were.
Water was now lapping at the
door. At age 78, and with difficulty getting around, there
was nothing she and her son,
Bruce, could do but wait for
help. The next day they were
rescued by boat, leaving her
belongings and Valley Hill
behind forever.
Millie tells the story, sitting
at a table in the comfortable
dining room at Ecumenical
Tower, where she reflects on
the anniversary of that historic
rain. “I got sick a couple days
later, and ended up in the hospital. I was there for a week or
so and then went to Ennoble
for rehab. Bruce said I couldn’t
go back to the trailer, but my
daughter, Debby, found another
place. I went to see it.”

Great Things Are Happening at Cozy Corner
Driving down Pennsylvania
Avenue, you may have noticed
some changes happening at
Cozy Corner Adult Day Services. After 11 years of operation
at the corner of Pennsylvania
Ave. and Palm Ct., the business owned by Bob and Mariko
Wilbricht has undergone an
extensive remodel and expansion. Though the additions have
made the facility more spacious,
it is just as cozy as ever!
Cozy Corner is a state licensed and certified center,
which provides care and supervision, monitoring of general
health, and peer contact for the
impaired and socially isolated
adult. The center’s staff provides care for individuals who
cannot, should not or do not
want to be alone during the day,
but don’t require 24-hour institutional nursing care. Clients
are living at nursing homes,
local assisted living facilities,
in group homes, at their own
home, or with family members.
Having a loved one attend Cozy
Corner, is especially helpful for
caregivers who are working
during the day.
The one-of-a-kind, home-like
atmosphere has only been enhanced by the recent changes.
Cozy Corner now includes a
separate library, lounge, activity
rooms, and a formal dining room

evolving security requirements
and an adequate level of service
to the traveling public. In 2000,
a Terminal Area Study was initiated to examine options to either
improve the old terminal or to
build a new one. In 2004, a benefit-cost analysis was initiated,
this produced a favorable result
and approved by the FAA. An environmental study was approved
in 2005. The airport master plan
was initiated also in 2004 and
approved in 2006. Land acquisition was completed in 2009. The
preliminary design phase was
initiated in 2009 to establish design criteria, facility layout and
proposed budget completed in
May 2010. The site preparation
work is currently underway.
The scope of the new $40
million terminal complex includes many phases over the
next few years:
• New Passenger Terminal
Building construction between 2012-2014,
• New Terminal Apron and Access Taxiways construction
between 2012-2014,
• New Parallel Taxiway to
Runway 13-31 construction
between 2012-2014,
• New Airport Perimeter Road
construction between 20142016,
• New Vehicle Parking construction between 2014-2016,

• New Entrance Road and Circulation Road construction
between 2012-2016,
• Improved U.S. 61 & Merlin
Lane Intersection under construction now,
• Utility Improvements construction between 2013-2015
The FAA will provide funding for eligible items through
the Airport Improvement Program (AIP) trust fund which
is generated through taxes on
airline tickets and aviation
fuel. The Iowa Department of
Transportation (IDOT) has allocated funds for the new facility
which are generated through a
number of resources (aircraft
fuel tax, aircraft registration
fees, etc). It is anticipated that
the airport will need to provide
approximately $5.2 million
of non-federal resources to
match the federal grants and
elements not eligible for federal
funding. This share will come
from Passenger Facility Fees
(PFC) funds, Customer Facility Charges (CFC) funds and
general revenue funds. Both
PFC and CFC funds are generated through utilization of the
Airport by passengers.

Dubuque? It means local jobs

School Buses
Limited-Time Special Offer!
Every year new rules are passed into law by our legislators.
Some may have little if any impact on our day to day lives, while
others can impact us greatly. The majority of these new laws go
into effect July 1, though others are so important they go into effect as soon as the Governor signs them.
One of those important laws, known as “Kadyn’s Law” went
into effect upon the Governor’s signature on March 16.
This law is named for Kadyn Halverson of Kensett, Iowa, who
was killed by a hit and run driver the morning of May 10, 2011.
It increases penalties for drivers who fail to abide by the law,
increasing the amount a violator must pay as well as imposing
possible jail time and license suspension.
Let’s look at the correct way to deal with a school bus.
First it may help to know what is going on in the school bus.
Whether the school bus driver is picking up or discharging students,
they will activate the flashing yellow light to indicate the school
bus is preparing to stop. At this point, you as a motorist should
slow down and prepare to stop. Next the school bus driver activates
the flashing red lights and extends the stop arm to indicate the
school bus has stopped. At this point motorists should stop. The
diagram to the left is a two lane undivided highway. Notice both
motorists, both meeting and
following the bus, have stopped
since the stop arm is out. Stop
no closer than 15 feet from the
bus and remain stopped until
the lights stop flashing and the
arm is withdrawn.
On a two lane highway with a center turn lane or a three lane
highway, as shown below, motorists both meeting and following
the school bus are to stop.
Free Cable for first six months.

Elegant, home-like retirement living. Residents receive:

The following diagrams are of roadways with two or more lanes
in each direction. In these situations only the motorists traveling
in the same direction as the bus are required to stop.
The school bus driver is not permitted to allow students to
cross this type of roadway unless there are official traffic control
devices or police officers are present. Motorists meeting buses in
this situation are not required to stop even though the red lights
are flashing and stop arm is out.

Party Crasher or
Friend of the Groom?
Imagine a wedding reception. Picture two people: one is a
close friend of the groom. That
person enjoys the meal, the music, the dancing, the cake, and
everything that’s fun about a
wedding reception - but he finds
the greatest pleasure in being
there with the friend who’s getting married. The other person
is a party crasher. That person
enjoys the meal, the music, the
dancing, the cake, and everything that goes on at wedding
Now Here’s a Tip
by JoAnn Derson
© 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.
• When patching cracks in plaster walls, if the crack is large
or it’s a small hole, stuff it with
wadded-up newspaper or steel
wool in order to fill the gap. Apply the plaster over the top.
• Recipe substitution: For each
cup of brown sugar needed,
use 1 cup of white sugar and 2
tablespoons of molasses.
• If your washer oversuds because you accidentally added
too much detergent, just add a
half-cup of white vinegar to the
wash water. It will dampen the
extra bubbles. Then make sure
to put the load through an additional rinse to eliminate soap
residue in your clothes.
• Ever had to deal with early
Cozy Corner from P. 1
“Our goal is to keep their minds
and bodies active. Eating a nutritious meal, interacting with other
people, and doing some sort of
exercise daily is really beneficial
for everyone.”
The fun and laughter doesn’t
stop at the front door; the clients enjoy a variety of outings.
Bob says, “We enjoy eating out
at restaurants and riding the
river boats. We frequently offer
clients Saturday events such
as a movie and lunch out, or a
day trip to their favorite places
such as the Wisconsin Dells.
We go to different parks, mall
walking, bowling, and have
even taken our clients to Cubs
games in Chicago!”
The people at Cozy Corner are
always experiencing new things
and making memories together,
which makes the staff and clients
more like a family. Mariko says,
“We celebrate everyone’s birthday,
and they get to choose the menu
for the day. We have discovered
unique ways to celebrate holidays
reception - but he knows little
or nothing about the groom and
doesn’t want to know anything.
The party crasher is just there
for the party.
I’ve been the pastor of a
church long enough to know
that people can be attracted to
a church because of its friendliness. They can be attracted
by feelings good about doing
something for others. They can
enjoy a sermon for the stories
and humor but miss the actual
point of the message.
Here’s how I look at it: a
church service is like a wedding reception, with Christ
being the groom (that’s the
imagery the Bible uses). When
it comes to going to church
we can be party crashers or
friends of the groom.
“Ascribe to the Lord the
glory due his name; worship
the Lord in the splendor of his
holiness.” Psalm 29:2
arrivals at your garage sale? If
so, you know it can be annoying
and disruptive. When advertising
your sale, use the block number
instead of your house number. It
will still be easy to find, but you’re
less likely to get staked out.
• “It can be hard to find a
good contractor or company
to provide a service. The best
referral resource I’ve found is
friends. Whenever someone I
know has work done at their
home or purchases an item
I might be interested in, I
always find out the details of
who worked on it or where it
was purchased, and whether
my friends were satisfied with
the outcome. Friends and
even acquaintances usually
are quite amenable to giving
details, especially when they
are either very pleased or very
displeased with a job.”

together. It really is like a second
family here.”
The staffs goal is to put the
clients’ needs first and to provide
them with the best care possible,
which includes providing transportation when necessary, remaining flexible with hours, and
treating them with the dignity
and respect they deserve. The
dedication of the staff doesn’t go
unnoticed. Lisa, whose mother
has been attending Cozy Corner
for a year says, “My mom has Alzheimer’s and was no longer able
to safely be at home alone. The
staff is loving and caring. Cozy
Corner has taken wonderful care
of her and has met my family’s
needs during our work week. We
are so thankful!”

Choose Less Screen Time
and More Time for Family
Fun
When adding up the televisions, computers, smartphones,
iPads, iPods and portable game
systems in an American home
these days you’re likely to count
more screens than rooms.
All these screens add up to
ever-increasing screen time for
children.
Typically, children spend
more hours a week with screens
than in school. However, we can
help our children – and ourselves – spend some time away
from those fascinating moving
images that can take up so
many hours of the day.
ISU Extension specialists
offer the following tips for
choosing less screen time and
enjoying more family time.
• Get physically active. Get
your children — and yourself
— up and on your feet instead
of getting sleepy in the comfy
chair or on the couch. Create
your own music and make up
your own dance moves. Both
you and your children will feel
much better after just a few
minutes of activity. Physical
activity boosts energy and even
can make everyone’s brains a
little sharper, which can help
when it’s homework time.
• Turn chores into family
fun time. Clean the kitchen
floor with dish soap and bath
towels. Have a laundry folding
party on your living room floor.
Or, make chores into games. See
who can dust his or her side of
the room first. The chores will
get done faster, and everyone
will get to spend valuable time
together. It’s about the time
spent together, not how well the
chore is completed.
• Create real life adventure.
Create your own TV shows
and video games or make a
fort, tree-house or tent. Use
sheets and blankets to cover the
dining room table. Bring stuffed
animals and books into your
fort. You can read together and
make up stories.
Family time is important,
and family time away from the
screen is very important.
Time away from the TV
gives you more time to talk
with your children — time
to learn about what is going
on in their day-to-day world.
Follow your child’s lead when
the screen isn’t on. You’ll be
amazed what new games you’ll
invent when you have a chance
to imagine.

Summer is winding down
and it is time for the Dubuque
Symphony Orchestra to begin
its new concert season!
We’ve planned an exciting program of show-stopping orchestral
favorites on October 6 and 7, starting with the return of sensational
violinist Gareth Johnson.
Now in his mid-20s, the New
York Times once said of Gareth
that he “…possesses prodigious
musical gifts – like Joshua
Bell or Maxim Vengerov…he
dominates the stage.” This was
proven true when he dazzled
Dubuque Symphony audiences
in both 2007 and 2008. Prepare
to be dazzled once again by his
performance of the Sibelius
Violin Concerto.
In this virtuoso showcase
Sibelius pits the soloist against
the forces of the whole orchestra.
However, it is scored brilliantly so

THE GOLDEN VIEW
Come
Chat
With Me
by S. E. Persinger
One evening after celebrating
my twenty-one-year-old grandsons’ birthday, he and I went back
to my house just to visit. There
was a program on TV that he
liked to watch so we clicked on a
show called “Noodling.” Needless
to say I was not familiar with the
show. In the past I have watched
car racing, tractor pulls, and
other “guy” things with him, but
never “Noodling.”
This brings to mind the fact
that some of us are locked into
our own world of interest and
often hesitate to explore new
territories. This granny had an
eye-opener with this new adventure. Matt is an understanding
fellow and would have changed
the program if I had asked him
to. But, he is in college, works,
and has his own social life so, I
am always happy when he pays
me a visit.
The program was about mud
cats (bullheads) and catching
them by hand and only with
the hands. There are no nets, no
instruments, and no equipment
to harm the fish. There was a
contest in the town of Eufaula,
Oklahoma, to see who could
catch the mud cat that weighed
the most. There were two men
to a team. Actually, this activity
is somewhat dangerous.
The Canadian River at Eufaula in eastern Oklahoma
forms the Eufaula Reservoir
and this is where one two-man
team ferreted out their mud cat.
At the reservoir a lot of huge
brick slabs and rocks form a
habitat for these fish and the
men have to hold their breath
and dive down into the water
and search for their catch. If
any of the big brick slabs should
shift, it would present a dangerous situation for the diver.
At the end of the day, the
two men who won the contest
were naturally very happy to
be the winners. Also, the crowds
watching the final weigh-in
were excited too. It had been a
long day for all.
When all was said and done
the two men who had caught
the mud cat took him back to
where they had captured him.
Actually, when the men took
him out of the water tank, the
fish jumped toward the fresh
water and was out of sight in
a second. He was home. And it
wasn’t long before my grandson
had to leave for home too.
As an after thought, perhaps
we should all loosen up a bit
and venture into new areas of
interest. Nowadays, there are
so many places to go, and things
to do, that none of us should
ever be afraid to be a pioneer of
change. Maybe we’ll see each
other on the trail of adventure
someday.

They were the unlikeliest
of pairs – a handsome crooner
and a skinny monkey – one an
Italian from Steubenville, Ohio
and a Jew from Newark, New
Jersey. Before they teamed up,
Dean Martin seemed destined
for a mediocre career as a nightclub singer, and Jerry Lewis
was dressing up as Carmen
Miranda and miming records
on stage. But the moment they
got together, something clicked
– something miraculous – and
audiences saw it at once.
Before long, they were as big
as Elvis or the Beatles would be
after them, creating hysteria
wherever they went and grabbing an unprecedented hold
over every entertainment outlet
of the era – radio, television,
movies, stage shows, and nightclubs. Martin and Lewis were

switch to a different Medicare
drug plan to receive the benefit of $0 co-payments and a
lower premium. This should
be done by all Medicaid recipients, not just nursing home
residents.
During the Open Enrollment Period, each year
between October 15 and
December 7, insurers announce the drugs they will
cover and the costs for the
next year. There can be significant changes to current
plans. Comparing plans
every year is important for
all Medicare participants
whether residing in a nursing home or not.
The Senior Health Insurance Information Program (SHIIP), a service of
the State of Iowa, can help
you compare drug plans,
enroll in a new drug plan,
and evaluate your drug
plan when you qualify for
Medicaid. It can provide
information on Medicare,
Medicaid, or other health
insurance issues. SHIIP’s
services are free, confidential, and objective. Individual
appointments with a SHIIP

Medicare for Nursing
Home Residents
Residents of nursing
homes have some special
options when it comes to
their Medicare prescription
drug insurance. They may
change their plan at any
time without waiting for
the Fall Open Enrollment
Period which limits other
people. This option applies
only to nursing home residents and does not include
assisted living facilities or
residential homes. When
new prescriptions are added
or existing ones no longer
used, it is important to investigate which plan is best.
Since most nursing homes
have specified pharmacies
as providers when individuals are admitted to the
nursing home, it is a good
idea to review the Medicare
drug plan to see that the it
is accepted by the nursing
home’s pharmacy and covers
any new drugs you are taking. If you leave the nursing
home, you will have another
opportunity to change Medicare drug plans and you
should evaluate your plan
to be sure it is accepted by
your local pharmacy.
If individuals become eligible for Medicaid they will
qualify for $0 co-payments for
drugs covered by their Medicare drug plan and a lower
premium. The current drug
plan, if there is one, needs to
be evaluated immediately.

Far too many of us, women
especially, can develop weight
problems as we age. We’re less
active. Menopause doesn’t help.
We might have different eating
patterns.
Researchers at Fred
Hutchinson Cancer Research
Center have done a study that
looked at self-monitoring as a
way to reduce weight.
The study results show how
we can lose weight safely in
three steps: 1) Keep a journal
that reports everything that’s
eaten; 2) Don’t skip meals; and
3) Don’t go out to lunch. Sounds
so simple, doesn’t it.
They divided 123 overweight
and obese senior women into
two groups for the year-long
study: one group used diet and
exercise, and the other only diet.
Here’s what they learned:
Women who kept journals
of what they ate lost six pounds
more than those who didn’t
keep a journal. This appeared
to be the most important of
the three steps, and it makes
sense. If we write down exactly
what we eat, it’s easier to identify whether we’re meeting our
goals. The trick is to be honest,
and being honest means measuring portions and reading labels -- and always keeping your
journal with you in case you do
eat while away from home.
Women who went out for
lunch at least once a week lost
five pounds less than those who
didn’t, or who ate lunch out less
frequently. When you eat at a
restaurant, you can’t control the
size of the portions or how the
food is cooked.
Women who skipped meals
lost eight pounds less than
those who didn’t skip meals. Researchers weren’t sure why this
was so, but it could be that being hungry leads to overeating
or eating out. Eating at regular
times gave the best success.

Nothing is constant but
change and this certainly holds
true for our society and the many
changes that have occurred over
time. Around the turn of the
20th century, Dubuque developed into a prominent industrial
center. Factories of all types dotted the cityscape and thousands
of people were employed. And
certainly not all of them were
men. Women, and even children,
were often seen in the factories,
or sweat shops as they were often called. Many of these women
were married and had families,
but there was also a segment
of single women who had arrived in Dubuque and found
employment in cigar factories,
the Brunswick Co. (which made
cabinets for radios), the General
Dry Battery Co., or in a confectionery making candy.
Then there were some who
attended the Bayless Business
College to sharpen their clerical skills for office work. At that
time it was not proper for young
working ladies to live alone in an
apartment or even a commercial
boarding house. Some of the
young women lived with families
where they took on housekeeping jobs, but many had a need
for a safe place to live when they
returned from a long work day
at a factory or office.
In 1884, Bishop Hennessy
requested the Sisters of St.
Francis to open the “St. Francis Industrial School for Girls.”
The old home of Bishop Loras,
a two and one-half story brick
building located at the rear of
St. Raphael’s Cathedral, was va-
cant after the St. Mary’s School
for girls moved to another
new building. The old Bishops’
home at 2nd & Bluff was then
available for the St. Francis
Industrial School for Girls to
occupy. Well, the school idea
never materialized and so the
institution was operated as a
boarding house for young ladies employed in Dubuque. As
one of the administrator’s said,
“The principle was to establish
a Christian atmosphere for the
girls to somewhat take the place
of the home.” But the house
could accommodate only sixteen
young women and so the Sisters
began looking for a new site.
Jessie P. Farley, a prominent
Dubuque figure, who had served
as Mayor for three terms, was
associated with such business
ventures as the Farley & Loetscher millworks company,
early ferryboats/steamboats,
and one of the leading railroad
tycoons built a mansion designed by architect F.D. Hyde
in 1879. This Second Empire
style, 12-room, home stood
across from Washington Park
at 6th & Bluff. Construction
costs exceeded $20,000. But a
lawsuit with the Dubuque &
Pacific Railroad Company ate
up his fortune and finally cost
him his beautiful mansion. In
1892, the Sisters of St. Francis
acquired the home for $15,000
and remodeled it for their new
home for young women. On
June 4, 1892, Bishop Hennessy
blessed the home which was
called Saint Francis Home.

THE GOLDEN VIEW
Yesterday & Today from P. 16
The Farley mansion could
only house about 20 regular
boarders and soon it became
obvious that an expansion was
needed. A three-story brick addition to the west was constructed
in 1900 and Archbishop John J.
Keane blessed the new building.
In 1909, continued growth, led to
the addition of a north wing, as
four old houses were demolished,
and a 38’ x 70’ addition was built.
According to the December 11,
1911 Telegraph Herald this new
addition contained 31 private
rooms, two dining rooms, and in
the basement a laundry room. It
was furnished with an exquisite
chapel on the main floor. The
altar was white and gold, with
the communion rail being made
of Mexican onyx. The entire
building was electrified and had
the most modern steam heating
plant in the basement.
This time Archbishop James
J. Keane (no relation to John J.
Keane) blessed the new addition.
He praised the Franciscan Sisters
“for establishing a home of this
kind, where a girl forced to seek
employment in the city, found a
safe refuge.” He continued, “It
is the influence of such a home
that protects girls from countless
dangers that they may encounter.”
It was at this time in 1911 that
the name changed to Mary of the
Angels Home and it now provided
shelter for 80 regular boarders
with ten Sisters in charge.
In 1916, land behind the
home was purchased and a small
grotto and flower gardens were
created. Later that year, a house
and the lot on which it stood to
the south of the Mary of the Angels Home was purchased and the
house rented until 1929 when it
was torn down and a third addition was constructed. It opened
in early 1930 and the home was
able to accommodate 100 regular
17
boarders and even had room for
additional temporary residents.
The home was later opened up for
both male and female residents.
In 1984, the Telegraph Herald
published a story about Mary of
the Angels Home on its centennial
celebration.
The administrator at the time
was Sister Mary Cleo Tritz and
she explained how many of the
young women who lived there
went on to get married, several
of them in the chapel at the home
and that numerous “Alumni”
often returned to visit. One of
the residents mentioned how affordable the rent was there and
the Social Security checks could
be stretched further.
Sr. Mary Cleo said it was difficult to tell residents that they
could no longer be cared for at the
home because of health reasons
and they would have to move
to a nursing home. In 1990, the
facility was sold and most of the
residents had to move. Some
developers created an apartment
complex called Washington Park
Place, but this eventually closed
and today the facility (now called
The Angels) is under new ownership with apartments being
leased—several of them to single
women who have come to work
in Dubuque, not in cigar making
factories, or to attend Bayless
Business College, but rather
young professionals working for
IBM or other new businesses in
Dubuque. In a sense, history has
come full circle.

Remnant Prairies:
Nature’s last stand
As I’ve stated many times,
our house in Asbury has a
property that slopes down to a
city-owned flood plain. There
will never be houses down in
that valley because water flows
through it—at least during normal years of average rain. The
fact there is a flood plain and
valley behind our house was a
key reason we purchased it. I’ve
planted, at my own expense, a
large number of shrubs and flowers on this city property in an
effort to both enhance the area
and attract wildlife. In a decade
of effort I’ve been successful and
the area is a gentle respite to the
hectic life above the plain.
In similar fashion there are
other areas in Dubuque that offer calm respites from the noise
of the city. The Bee Branch Project is an excellent example of
creating an inviting area to walk
or bike through and one can see
native plants taking hold in a
number of areas of the extensive
project. One of those areas is on
32nd Street near Central where
you’ll find native plants abounding and surrounding a retention
area for storm water run-off.
There are paved walks and
benches so visitors can linger
and watch the wildlife that has
taken up residency in the area.
Another area that amazed
me on a recent visit is a remnant
prairie situated right in the city
of Dubuque. Unlike the prairie
associated with the Mines of
Spain or E.B. Lyons, this remnant of a prairie that was present 5,000 years ago is situated
right in the middle of developed
land. When I visited, I looked
through a window of time back
to what the settlers who came to
the Dubuqueland area walked
through as they searched for
areas upon which to build homes
and futures businesses. Herein
lies our problem.
This small bit of untouched
prairie could be in jeopardy because pieces of it are privately
owned and those owners could
build houses on it—especially
since the view is spectacular.
Unlike my flood plain area, this
remnant prairie is prime land
for housing and thus I remain
vague about its exact location.
On this patch of prairie are rare
plants like the Prairie Shooting
Star along with Leadplant and
a variety of short native grasses.
Ironically, what keeps this prairie
“alive” are the frequent fires that
occur because of teens smoking
or small bonfires that get out of
control and inadvertently setting
the prairie afire. Sadly, there are
also a number of invasive plants
like the Buckthorn and efforts
to keep it in check by the Iowa
Conservancy group’s work with
removal of the shrubs are having
some success.
On the other hand, a prairie
worth a visit is the 23 acre PohlKen Resch Prairies Cont. P. 21

A dog named Bear
The neighbor’s daughter had
a fiancé who had a dog that was
too big for a house in town.
The guy brought the dog to
our farm. He bragged the dog
up one side and down the other.
They were lies. The dog didn’t
even believe them.
We needed a farm dog. The
guy talked us into giving a home
to a dog as big as a barn. The canine was a plus size St. Bernard.
I thought the guy’s smile was a
bit too big when we agreed to
take the dog. That should have
been a warning sign. The neighbor’s daughter married that guy.
She divorced him. I’m not proud
of it, but I wasn’t unhappy when
that happened.
The dog’s name was Bear. It
should have been Whale.
Smaller dogs can be yappy,
but they’re often easy to deal
with. I owned a Chihuahua. Chihuahuas are so small that fleas
have them on their backs. If he
misbehaved, I simply picked him
up and put him in my pocket.
Loyal, faithful, and smart.
Those are the attributes of a
good dog. Bear had none of
those. Bear was gigantic, enthusiastic, and a good eater. I took
him fishing once. He ate the
fish I caught. Bear ate the bait.
Then he ate the bait pail. Bear
ate things that he shouldn’t
have--we all do. You could smell
his breath up to 14 miles away.
Hog houses were blamed for the
smell. I tried brushing his teeth
with a toothbrush advertising
the services of Dr. Flor, but Bear
ate it. I had to pay a visit to the
local banker, Joe Skophammer,
to get a dog food loan.
Bear loved to run. When
someone drove to town, Bear
ran behind the car. He ran three
miles until he came to a stop sign.
Then he stopped, turned around,
and meandered back home. I worried that a car might hit Bear. I
wasn’t worried about Bear being
hurt. I worried that he’d total any
car that collided with him.
Like most farm dogs, Bear
tangled with skunks. That’s not
quite true. He didn’t just tangle
with skunks, he enjoyed their
company. Bear smelled so bad
that the sky above him turned
a pallid pink.
Bear was rambunctious. He
played defense during family
football games. Anyone catching
a ball could expect to be tackled
by Bear. He hit hard enough to
earn a spot as the starting middle
linebacker for the Vikings. He not
only knocked the wind out of an
opponent, he knocked a couple of
internal organs out as well.
When we had company, we
tied Bear to the plow. We didn’t
tie him to the tractor after
he chewed through the battery charger cord while it was
plugged in. It really didn’t matter what we lashed him to. He’d
either chew through the rope
or drag the farm implement to
where he wanted to be. We tried
using a log chain. Bear ate it.
The vet examined Bear once.
Bear licked the vet’s eyeglasses
off his face and they fell into a
fresh cowpie where Bear stepped
on them, breaking the frame and
one lens. Then he jumped on the
vet with poopy paws.
One day, I napped on a hammock. I dreamed that I was
walking in a warm rain. I awoke
to see Bear’s giant eyes staring
at me, while he drooled on my
face. Seeing that I was awake,
Bear attempted to join me on
the hammock, nearly pulling
the trees holding the hammock
out by the roots.
After Bear had lifted a leg
enough on the tires of the pastor’s
car that the vehicle was floating,
the pastor could say only, “There
are serpents among us!” before
giving Bear the evil eye or as
close to an evil eye as a man of
the cloth could give a dog.
Bear seemed determined to
do all the things he shouldn’t
and he excelled at them.
There is no warm and fuzzy
ending to this story. Bear never
Lassied-up and saved someone
from drowning. He didn’t win
Best of Show at the Westminster
Kennel Club. He didn’t even take
the championship of the “What
the heck kind of dog is that” class.
Sometimes, Bear looked at
me as if he were thinking, “I’ll
bet he wishes he was a dog.”
Bear had his faults. We all
do. But I couldn’t help but like
him. I think it was because he
was so happy being a dog.

Protect Yourself From Shingles:
Get Vaccinated
Kara BaUD, PharmD
Shingles is a painful skin rash caused by the same virus
that causes chickenpox. After a person recovers from
chickenpox, the virus can reactivate many years later as
shingles. The rash usually consists of small blisters that tend
to cluster in one area, most commonly the torso and face.
While the rash may go away in a few weeks, many patients
have pain that persists for months or even years. Nearly 1
million Americans are treated for the condition each year,
and 50% of people living to 85 will have shingles at least
once in their lifetime.
Zostavax is a vaccine that can help your immune system
protect against shingles. For patients 60 and older, the
vaccine halves the risk of developing shingles. Those who
do get the rash, in spite of vaccination, are much less likely
to experience debilitating long-term pain. Talk to your
doctor or pharmacist to see if Zostavax is right for you.
Zostavax requires a prescription from your doctor and is
available at Mercy Family Pharmacy.

Three Days of the Condor
After I saw the theater release of Three Days of the Condor
(1975), the late Sydney Pollack’s
intense conspiracy thriller, I
immediately knew it would be
added to my list of favorite films.
Robert Redford is Joseph
Turner, codename Condor, a
reader at the American Literary Historical Society, which
is a front for the CIA. Turner
and his co-workers read everything that is published around
the world, searching for codes,
plots, and possible similarities
to actual CIA operations. The
findings are fed into giant computers and the results are sent
up the chain of command.
Turner is intrigued by a
mystery novel that is translated
into three languages and files
a report. Shortly after, while
Turner is out picking up the
daily lunches, the Historical
Society is hit by a team of assassins, headed by a professional
named Joubert (a brilliant performance by Max von Sydow).
Confused, terrified, and alone,
Turner wants the CIA to bring
him in, but that also results in
an attempt on his life.
Temporary solace and assistance in the form of a stranger
(Faye Dunaway) buys Turner
time, but he cannot escape his
situation. A rogue element within
the agency wants him eliminated
for what he has discovered. And
when the powers that be want
you dead, there is nowhere to
hide. The Condor has become an
endangered species.
This film carries a mild R
rating and is available via Netflix and Blockbuster mail order.

Ken Resch Prairies from P. 18
man Prairie Preserve located
adjacent to Highway 3 & 52
just south of Durango. Once you
park near the highway it’s a bit
of a steep trail that leads up to
a limestone bluff. Switchbacks
make the climb manageable
and worth the effort. This is a
“goat prairie” because it was
essentially reachable only by
grazing animals and not able to
be plowed—thus it remains. This
prairie blooms throughout the
summer and soon the fall blooms
will come on which include the
beautiful lavender colored Cylindrical Blazing Stars.
We must appreciate these
21
prairie lands and other pockets of natural beauty in our
area. Development need not
encroach upon the remnants
of prairies simply because the
view is beautiful. I urge owners
of these bits of land to consider
giving (or selling at a reasonable amount) the land to the
Conservancy for protection.
Once these lands are developed
they’re gone forever. It is up to
all of us to care about the land
and to realize we are inextricably connected to our earth and
that we must make every effort
to maintain the delicate balance
we have with the web of life of
which we are a part.

Q: Roughly 50 years ago, I was
given a hot chocolate set with
six cups and saucers, and a pot.
It has a flower design and was
made in Germany. How can I
determine its value?
A: You need to hire the services of a professional appraiser.
There are two types of appraisals, verbal and written. The
verbal is less expensive; the
written is usually for insurance
purposes. Some appraisers also
provide a “ball park” estimate.
That can sometimes be a free
service, but not always. Contact
appraisers in your area and inquire. Keep in mind the value
would not be the same in all
parts of the country.
Q: I have an old tennis racket
in good condition. Please advise
me as to its probable value.
A: Randy Crow is a dealer
who specializes in older sports
equipment and might be able
to help you. Contact him c/o
Sporting Antiques, 20269 N.
86th St., Scottsdale, AZ 85255;

Q: I have in my possession two
books I believe are valuable: a
paperback copy of Mark Twain’s
“War Prayer,” published by
Perennial Library, Harper and
Row in 1971; and “Defense of
America” by Thomas Penfield,
issued in 1941.
A: If you have a computer, the
best and fastest way I’ve found
to determine the value of a
book is to access www.abe.com.
Simply type in the name of the
book and the author, and scroll
until you find the right edition.
I did just that and found both of
your books listed for less than
$10 each.
Dental Implants
Dr. Roger Murray
The Implant Research Program was a success. One of the interesting
findings that came out of the research is that implants do not have to
be expensive to be successful. A successful implant system can be
placed at a reasonable cost.
We are offering our implants at the cost of $950 per implant. It is
unfortunate that patients are not informed about exorbitant costs for
an implant and of the hidden cost that will add hundreds of dollars
to the cost of a crown.
Non-Restorable Tooth
Implant
An implant is an excellent option to replace a missing tooth because
it mirrors the size and shape of a patient’s natural tooth.
FREE Consultations
There is no “down side” to getting a second opinion.
It is not necessary to pay over 100% more for an implant!

It’s Movie Time
by
Paula J. Giese
Ted: Mark Wahlberg is the main character in this movie; from
the creators of the television show “Family Guy.” Mila Kunis
plays his girlfriend and Seth McFarlane directed it and was the
voice of Wahlberg’s childhood teddy bear/friend “Ted.” Wahlberg
makes a Christmas wish for friend and his teddy bear comes to
life. They grow inseparable. After Wahlberg’s character has a
steady girlfriend for four years, he must decide between Ted or
the girlfriend. Ted is a very crude and extremely inappropriate
little teddy bear. He swears, drinks, does drugs, and that is only
the tip of the iceberg. This movie is rated R for very good reason.
This one is definitely not for children under the age of 17. **
People Like Us: This movie stars Chris Pine, Michelle Pfeiffer,
and Elizabeth Banks. Banks is a waitress at a bar, who has a very
smart 11 year old, and is trying to make ends meet. Pine comes
to California with his girlfriend for his father’s funeral. Michelle
Pfeiffer plays the mother. Her deceased husband was pretty much
a hippie for all of his 60 years of life. Pine did not like his father
at all, but his father left him a shaving kit with $150,000 in it
and a note. The note asked him to find his sister and her son and
give the money to her. The only thing is Pine needs the money
himself because he is really in a fix. It was a very good and quite
refreshing.
The Dark Knight Rises: This movie contains quite the cast.
Christian Bale plays Batman, Joseph Gordon Levitt is the city
cop, Gary Oldman is Commissioner Gordon, Anne Hathaway plays
Catwoman, and Tom Hardy plays the evil Bane. Oh, and don’t
forget Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine. There is definitely
one thing that this movie has and that is a lot of action. It takes
a while for Batman to heal from his previous injuries but thank
goodness he does. Bane is truly an evil villain and shows no
mercy. He takes the entire Gotham City hostage and they cannot
leave the city or he will explode what is like a nuclear bomb and
kill everyone. This movie contains a lot of stories within stories.
Batman still has some cool rides. The bad guy seems somewhat
out of character compared to the Joker and Penguin, but it seemed
to work. ***1/2
The Amazing Spiderman: This is another action packed movie
of the summer. Emma Stone, Andrew Garfield play the new Mary
Jane and Spiderman. Denis Leary plays the police Lieutenant,
Sally Field and Martin Sheen play Spiderman’s aunt and uncle.
I was surprised that they started this movie all over at the
beginning when Spiderman actually got bit by a special unique
spider. Spiderman had to figure out why his parents left in such
a hurry and died in an airplane crash. He gets a job where his
father’s old partner is a scientist and becomes his assistant. Soon
things turn ugly and Spiderman has to deal with this ugly slimy
lizard man who wants to control the city. This was a very exciting
film. ****
Ice Age: Continental Drift: This movie contains the voice talents
of Ray Romano, Dennis Leary, Nicky Mingz, Queen Latifah,
Jennifer Lopez, John Yamallo, and Wanda Sykes. Mandy, Diego,
and Sid set out for another adventure after their continent is set
a drift. Since they have no other option, they use an iceberg as a
ship. Along the way they meet up with some very mean pirates and
sea creatures who they have to battle. They’re trying to find a new
world where all their families and friends are located. I enjoyed
the movie and think you and your children will enjoy it too. ****

Remember “Boom - Boom”,
(Bob Schlueter), our 2nd baseman, Maury? (Grandpa wrote
about him in “memories” 1 and
9). Recently he arranged to
take me to the annual Dubuque
County Baseball Hall of Fame
induction ceremonies. Our
shortstop, Cuzzie Ottavi was a
new inductee making six players plus our first manager, Leo
Schlueter, Sr., from our ball
club to receive this honor. They
include Bob Schlueter, Tom
Breitbach, our # 1 pitcher, John
Deckert, our catcher, Merle
Mathis, lst base and Bob Hoerner, center field. While assuring
me he’d “get transportation for
me” he jokingly said “I owe you
one!” I’ll explain what he meant
by this and how it immediately
caused Grandpa to recall this
baseball “memory.”
“Boom-Boom” (Bob Schlueter)
had a “trick knee.” This meant,
Maury, that his knee, from time
to time, would collapse, or “go
out.” (A trainer taught me how
to “put the knee back in” and
Grandpa did so on several occasions). Eliminating this problem
required surgery.
Bob’s father, and our manager
at that time (whom we referred
to as “Big Leo”), arranged for this
to be done by a then, top, orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Steindler, at
the University of Iowa Hospitals.
The surgery was scheduled in
December (close to Christmas)
and it was questionable whether
Bob would be home by that date.
The reason, Maury, Bob said to
Grandpa “I owe you one!” is because this is what happened.
On December 24, Bob was
told he’d be released from the
Jerry Eberhardt with
grandson, Maury Cohn
hospital IF HE COULD GET
HOME! That same day we also
had one of the worst winter
snow and ice storms ever. He
told his dad to “get me as a
driver” so he could be home for
Christmas.
Normally, Iowa City is less
than two hours driving time
from Dubuque, but the icy conditions caused us to average 15
miles per hour. Grandpa recalls
leaving Dubuque in mid morning and arriving at the hospital
shortly before 5 p.m. Within
twenty minutes we had the
nurses (they couldn’t believe
what they were witnessing!)
transport “Boom-Boom” by
wheel chair, his knee in a cast,
place him into the back seat
of the car and we immediately
headed back to Dubuque.
We arrived in Dubuque
about 11 p.m. and believe it or
not, got stuck in a snow bank,
while Grandpa was parking
the car, in front of the Schlueter home! We had a couple
close calls but after 13 hours
of nerve racking driving we
“got Bob home for Christmas.”
That’s why “Boom Boom” said
to Grandpa – 55 years later – “I
owe you one!”
Much love, Grandpa

Sports Comment
by Gary Dolphin
V.P.
– Business Development
and Voice of the Iowa Hawkeyes
From Where I Sit
Ready or not here comes
the college football season.
That line might fit Iowa football more snug than Kirk
Ferentz would like but as the
head coach enters his 14th season at the helm of the Hawks,
many questions remain. Iowa
went into spring and fall drills
looking to find replacements
for ten starters while dealing
with six coaching changes or
position switches.
Heading the latter list are
new coordinators Greg Davis
on offense and Phil Parker on
defense. Those moves have been
relatively seamless. Davis will
throw the ball more and Parker
will take a few more chances
with blitzing than his mentor
Norm Parker who retired this
past off season.
Who the next star tailback
at Iowa will be, continues
to rank as the number one
question. Incoming freshman
Barkley Hill was heavy in the
mix until suffering an knee
injury August 18th that will
keep him out for the entire
season. This after previous
starter Jordan Canzeri tore his
ACL in the spring drills. Right
now, headed into the opener at
Chicago’s Soldier Field against
Northern Illinois, the Hawkeyes have Damon Bullock,
Greg Garmon, Brad Rogers
and Michael Melloy, not necessarily in that order.
With senior quarterback
James Vandenberg leading the
charge, Iowa will throw the ball
much more early on while the
running game sorts itself out.
Tight end and wide receiver
are solid led by CJ Fiedorowicz,
Zach Derby, Keenan Davis and
Kevonte Martin Manley. The
passing game will be counted
on heavily these first few weeks.
Defensively, the upfront line
is where most of the vacancies
are but I feel much better about
the new guys after watching
big tackle Carl Davis, defensive end Joe Gaglione, Steve
Bigach, Darian Cooper and others. The linebackers are solid
with James Morris, Christian
Kirksey and Anthony Hitchens
and the secondary may be the
strength of this unit.
Cornerbacks Micah Hyde
and BJ Lowery are solid and if
the season started today, Tanner Miller and Tom Donatell
would give Iowa a veteran pair
of hard hitting safety’s.
A big key is the September
schedule. Following the trip
to Chicago, the Hawks come
home for the remainder of
the month, hosting in order,
Iowa State, Northern Iowa,
Central Michigan and Minnesota in the Big Ten curtain
raiser. If Iowa is to have a very
good year, it needs to come
out of that stretch no worse
than 4–1. By then many of
the aforementioned questions
should be answered.
Another fact emerging are
the two new coaching hires.
Young Lavar Woods mentoring
the linebackers and an even
younger, Brian Ferentz, tutoring the offensive line. Their
collective energy has really lit
a fire under the team and I
look for that fire to flare out of
control on the field this year and
beyond. I’m excited for the next
chapter, the next generation of
Iowa football.
The fans are excited too with
a 25% increase in season ticket
demand this year. There are
single game tickets available
for UNI, Central Michigan and
Purdue. Just log onto Hawkeye
Sports.Com for information.
Hope to see you at Kinnick Stadium this fall.

Mac Mavericks Macintosh
User Group
by Steve Hafenbredl, The Macintosh Reporter
The mission of the Mac Maverick Users Group is to provide software
support, hardware support and new product information. User group
members help each other with Macintosh computer and iOS issues.
Apple rolled out a new TV ad
campaign featuring the Apple
Genius. These are the people
in blue shirts who staff the Genius Bar at Apple retail stores.
The ads show different real-life
situations in which an Apple
genius is called upon to help
a Mac user get the most out of
their computer. I think the ads
do a pretty decent job of driving home the point that, with
just a friendly push in the right
direction, you can use your Mac
to create all sorts of wonderful
things. The problem for me is
that the spots do nothing to
convey that the Apple Genius is
real and not just a made for TV
character. Would an Apple Genius be a recognizable character
to a Windows PC user who has
never been to an Apple Store?
Time and financial reports will
tell whether this ad campaign
succeeds for Apple.
The Mac Maverick users
group holds meetings once a
month on a Saturday morning. Check out the calendar of
events on our web site: www.

New Scam Focuses on
Utility Bills
The latest scam is hitting
consumers in the middle of
a heat wave. The scam itself,
while creative, is not realistic:
President Barack Obama is
not giving away $1,000 credits
that can be applied to utility
bills. There is no energy fund.
There is no credit. This is not
another stimulus check-type
program from the government.
It’s a scam.
The rumor started in one
state, and it’s spreading from
coast to coast. The scammers
are going all out this time, calling on the phone purporting to
be from the utility company,
using auto-dialers, putting up
notices and even texting. What
makes this scam even more
dangerous is that they’re also
going door to door.
Sometimes the scammers
claim to be from the government, and they say that your
water, electric or gas bill will
be paid -- if you’ll just give
them your personal information. In one utility alone, 1,000
customers have fallen for the
scam. In another, more than
2,000 customers were affected.

from the utility company, and
demands payment, hang up.
Then call the number of the utility’s customer service line (usually found on your bill) and ask
whether they are the ones who
called you. Hang up on anyone
you think is trying to get your
personal information.
•If you suspect something is
wrong, call the local Better
Business Bureau. You likely
won’t be the only one who calls.
•If you realize after the fact
that you’ve been scammed, call
your bank immediately and tell
them what happened. Then, if
it’s the utility company scam,
call it as well.
• If someone comes to your door
supposedly to collect on a utility bill, have that person wait
outside (while you lock the door)
and call the utility to see if they
sent anyone to your door.
• Read the leaflets that come
in your utility bills. They might
include warnings of scams or
other information you need.
Moe Bandy started out bronco-busting and bull-riding all
over Texas. In 1962, after several bruises and fractured bones,
he began to pursue a career in
Country Music.
Moe Bandy sings in a simple
style that extracts the upmost
from his songs of lost love, sadness and life. Hank Williams
showed a very distinct in influence in his method of putting
across his honky tonk songs.
In 1979 he achieved his first
solo #1 “I Cheated Me Right Out
Of You.” Also he joined forces with
Joe Stampley and recorded “Just
Good Ol’ Boys” which topped the
Country Charts. This duo was
commonly known as “Moe and
Joe,” had several hits from 1979
to 1985 to include “Holding The
Bag,” “Tell Ole I Ain’t Here” and
“Hey Joe (Hey Moe).”
