Courier www.campcourageous.org JANUARY 2013 • Volume 39, Issue 1 PO Box 418 • 12007 190th Street Monticello, IA 52310-0418 Ph. 319-465-5916 • FAX 319-465-5919 Email: [email protected] CAMP COURAGEOUS ® www.campcourageous.org “…because we’re more alike than we are different.” 6,491 campers were served in 2012… more than ever before! Thank you for helping to keep the dream of Camp Courageous alive for so many! Camp Courageous is a year-round recreational and respite care facility for individuals of all ages with disabilities. 1 Transamerica Continues Support For Camp Camp Courageous can not thank the Transamerica Foundation enough for their tremendous support. This support goes back to Life Investors, to Aegon, to Transamerica. Different company names, but still the same exceptional people. Currently from being the Title Sponsor for the Camp Courageous Sprint Triathlon, to gifts to help plant trees, and build staff housing, they have been extremely loyal. Pictured are members of the Transamerica Foundation - (L-R) Cindy Nodorft, Julie Johnson, Steve Pitts, Lon Olejniczak, Dave Blankenship, and Terrie Rethamel. Camp Courageous was saddened by the passing of volunteer Judith Freeland. Judith gave 13 years of her life volunteering in the camp’s Dietary Department. She did an exceptional job and was a joy for the staff, volunteers, and campers. Judith loved volunteering at Camp Courageous and everyone at camp loved Judith. Along with being a very hard worker and super dedicated, Judith had a great sense of humor. Our warmest sympathy goes out to Judith’s husband, Lowell, and all her family and friends. DaVita Inc. did a three day bike ride in Iowa in September with nearly 500 riders. They started in Allison IA, then to Independence, Manchester, and ending in Monticello. Everything they did was done first class. Each person had to raise over $1,000 for “Bridges for Life”…a non-profit that raises money for dialysis for individuals living in 3rd world countries. They also tied 350 blankets for camp. These blankets will be used at camp, along with providing a nice warm gift for campers over the holidays. Camp was impressed with the company, its leadership, and the dedication of the group. A big thank you to Marion Koontz for donating her husband Hall's 2002 Lexus to camp. The car is in mint condition. Marion is a wonderful lady, and we are so grateful she thought of camp with this donation. Both Marion and Hall were involved in the community and Hall's legacy lives on in so many organizations in the area. Wade Chalstrom, General Manager of the Marion Hy-Vee, holds a special check from Hy-Vee to Camp Courageous. Behind him are the other Cedar Rapids/Marion HyVee Managers. A great group that we are so thankful to for selling the pineapples for camp... and many sell fruitcakes, too! 2 It doesn't get any better than this! The two chairs leaning against the table are placed there in honor of Leo & Louise Greco. Behind those chairs are individuals who held them near and dear to their hearts (LR) Lance Greco, Fr. Tom Welu, Lisa Greco Rehman, Jim Theisen, and Larry Greco. An annual tradition was for Leo, Jim, and Fr. Tom to meet in Dubuque for lunch and discuss a wide variety of subjects, including Fr. Tom's work in the Philippines. That tradition carries on, by the children of Leo and Louise. Fr. Tom made a substantial donation of mostly sports memorabilia to camp to sell, with the proceeds to benefit camp's most severely and profoundly disabled, in Leo’s name. A beautiful group! Lowell and Judith Freeland A warm and personal thank you to Honorary Board Member Bill and Jodie Beckwith who continue to be wonderful supporters of the camp. I cannot say enough good things about these two good and caring individuals, who are a delight to be around. They will never realize the number of lives they have touched with their kindness. We wish them the best of health and happiness in 2013! We were honored to be a part of the dedication of the third level of the Paul W. Brechler Press Box at Kinnick Stadium in memory of the late Sandra J. Buresh. Sandy was a breath of fresh air to those of us who knew her and loved her. It was wonderful to hear the kind words of Matt Hernderson, Lynette Marshall, Sally Mason, Gary Barta, and Kirk & Mary Ferentz as they reflected on how they were touched by Sandy. We sure miss her, too, but her legacy will live on at the University of Iowa and at Camp Courageous. Thank you to Craig Kremer, of Kremer Funeral, for presenting this beautiful overhead picture of the camp, which is now displayed in the main office area. Thank you also to Craig for helping camp secure grants throughout the years! JANUARY 2013 - Camp Courageous - www.campcourageous.org P A N C A K E B R E A K F A S T Ketelsen RV Benefits Camp with RV Raffle (L-R) Frank Balvanz, WMT, wishes Janet and Denny Zahrt a Happy 50th Anniversary! Three great folks, always there to help! Camp Courageous would like to thank The American Legion of Iowa Foundation and representative George Raes for traveling to camp to present a generous check to support the camp's bridge project. This organization has regularly donated to camp and has contributed to projects such as the lake project, the UV project at the pool, the automatic door openers, and the dormitory project to just name a few. Ketelsen RV in Hiawatha, IA announced the donation of a KV 2012 Spree Escape to Camp Courageous in honor of Ketelsen's 50th Anniversary. The camp raffled it with all the proceeds going to benefit Camp Courageous. The drawing took place at the annual Camp Courageous fall Pancake Breakfast and Open House on September 30, 2012. Once again, the Two River Good Sams group camping did a fantastic job volunteering at the 2012 Pancake Breakfast. In addition they brought along some beautiful quilts, headbands, stocking caps, and ice bags. Camp is so fortunate to have wonderful friends like this dynamic group. Thanks you! Enjoying the pancake breakfast is Dale and Mary Somers of Central City. Long time Camp Supporters, Dale sold thousands of fruitcakes over the years. Both in their 90s... we wish them the best of health and happiness in 2013. Frank Balvanc from WMT pulls out the winning ticket, with Gary Ketelsen looking on....we can not thank Gary enough for this wonderful fund raiser. Ona Danker of Cedar Rapids donated this beautiful antique quilt to camp. You will be seeing it at the Pineapple Gala. (L-R) The winners of the RV were Rhonda Kacsinski of Marion. To her left is her husband, Justin and to her right are a couple of exceptional Camp Courageous volunteers and the folks who are so good at keeping everything organized, Sharon & Don Kouba. Thank you to everyone who bought tickets! Thank you to Rachel Krebs of Durant for all her work collecting cans for Camp Courageous. She is super dedicated and all her hard work pays off big time for camp! Marginal Note: A single rose can be my garden... a single friend, my world. Don and Marilou Simpson of Milan Il volunteered about two years of their lives to Camp Courageous and they continue to stay active, attending camp activities, like the breakfasts, Jim McDonough concerts, and selling fruitcakes. Don and Marilou celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary on December 27th. Congratulations to a wonderful couple! We wish them the best in 2013! 3 2012 Walkin’ & Wheelin’ for Camp Courageous The 4th annual “Walkin & Wheelin' for Camp Courageous” was held on Saturday November 10, 2012 at Westdale Mall. Campers, their families, group homes, schools, and supporters of camp joined together for a morning of walking and fun. The walkers were entertained with games led by camp program staff, music, and various mascots from the area including “McGruff the Crime Dog.” Prizes for the 1st and 2nd teams raising the most money were awarded after walking. Camp would like to thank Westdale Mall and the Soroptomist Club of Cedar Rapids for helping with the set-up on Friday night, volunteering at the walk, and helping with the clean up. This year's event was a great success and camp appreciated the efforts of all who participated. Camper Christopher Weir delighted the crowd with his moves to the music at the 4th annual "Walkin' & Wheelin' for Camp Courageous." His enthusiasm was infectious, and he had several dancing partners throughout the morning! (R-L) Volunteer camp counselor Rayce Reynoldson assists camper Rachel Sunne with an archery game at the 4th annual “Walkin’ & Wheelin’ for Camp Courageous.” The Morse, Stufflebeam, Smock, Hansen, Hansen, and Marzen families took time out from their busy holiday season to visit camp. All members of this families are a part of the Eloise Morse family. Eloise is in a care center in Marion and was unable to be a part of the tour, but she definitely had a part in the donation. They saw the need for coolers for camp out and cookouts in the last edition of “The Courier” and decided that was a way they would like to help camp. Ron & Jeri Hanson’s son was an MDA campers many years ago and Ron was a past state president of the Eagles. Camp was his project for the year of his presidency. Since many of the family members had never been to camp, or it has been a few years since they visited, they enjoyed a tour. What a wonderful family! Thank you to Ohnward Bank and Trust for raising funds for Camp Courageous by having a “Jean Day”...a day staff donate money to a charity in return for being able to wear jeans to work. (L-R) Dave Kehoe, Karen Holub, Suzan Ehlers, Shawnee Heims, and Pat Recker. Ohnward is a year-round supporter! Thanks Blairs Ferry True Value in Cedar Rapids… Congratulations to the first place team at the 2012 “Walkin’ & Wheelin’ for Camp Courageous” event–Team Megan. Megan Staner, the daughter of Don and Angie Staner of Edgewood is a regular camper at Camp Courageous. This dedicated family and their friends have the distinction of raising the most money for this event for the last 2 years. They were awarded a pool party at the camp pool for their efforts. Camp would like to sincerely thank all those who participated in this event and look forward to seeing you again next year! 4 Once again Team Rachel had a huge turnout for the 4th annual “Walkin’ & Wheelin’ for Camp Courageous” event. Many of camper Rachel Sunne's family and friends took part in the event. Rachel's mom, Julie, said they love to participate because Rachel is also involved. Rachel was awarded a portable DVD player as an award for having such an awesome team! for once again promoting a silent auction of a "Hand Made Ornament Christmas Tree" with proceeds going to Camp Courageous. Blairs Ferry True Value donated a Christmas Tree, the Corridor WoodTurners and The Corridor WoodCrafters provided the handmade wood Christmas Ornaments. The Corridor WoodCrafters’ membership proviced scroll saw “type” ornaments and the Corridor Woodturners’ membership provided handmade “turned” ornaments. Both the groups are based in Cedar Rapids. Bruce A. Kruse is president of the Corridor WoodTurners and Kevin Bierman is president of the Corridor WoodCrafters. A beautiful tree… made from the heart. JANUARY 2013 - Camp Courageous - www.campcourageous.org FAREWAY STORES & CAMP COURAGEOUS PRESENT: 2013 CASES for CAMP Your chance to purchase food for camp at case price! MillhiserSmith and West Bend Insurance made a $60 donation for every home run hit by the Kernels at home this past year. We are grateful to MillhiserSmith and West Bend Insurance for their support the past two years! Congratulations to Happy Joe Whitty on Happy Joe's 40th Anniversary. It was a treat to be a part of his celebration and to help him raise money for the Happy Joe's Kids Foundation to benefit special needs children. Joe has been a friend for nearly 40 years. With Camp Courageous serving nearly 6,500 individuals with special needs each year, it takes a tremendous amount of food. Fareway Stores are allowing camp supporters to purchase cases of food at a case price as a donation to camp. Look for a form during the week of February 11th-19th in your local Fareway ad! Check out ads from local newspapers for these participating Fareway Stores: Thank you to Honorary Board Member Ralph Palmer for donating this beautiful piece of corian to camp, which is used for plaques in the pool.

Everyone had a wonderful time on the Camp Courageous Branson Trip this year. A special thank you to Lance and Leisa Greco for hosting this annual tradition and for all those who went along!

Cedar Rapids, Davenport, Dubuque, Dyersville, Hiawatha, Iowa City East, Iowa City West, Independence, Manchester, Maquoketa, Marion, Monticello, Muscatine, North Liberty, and Vinton It was an extra special day when Bill and Kay Frommelt of Dubuque brought their daughter, Mary Borders of Roseville, CA, to visit the camp. All are great camp supporters. Kay was one of my bosses when I worked at Dubuque Bank and Trust during high school and college. Kay is one of the nicest, kindest, and most wonderful individuals in the world. Bill and Kay have raised a great family and their love for others has carried down through the generations. We wish for them, great health and happiness in 2013! The camp and the world is a finer place, because of the Frommelts! -Charlie Thank you to Maxine Boles who gave camp the opportunity to give a program to her ACCW group at St. Patrick's Parish in Tama. Wonderful group of ladies! 5 Camp’s Indoor Pool Requires HVAC System Update Join the Ar-Jay Center for their Second Cupcake War! Saturday, February 9, 2013 10:00 AM to Noon Lake Todd Update The bridge arrived for Lake Todd just minutes before a major snow storm hit the area, so work was done in the dark to get the bridge off two semis and get them on their way, before conditions worsened. Lake Todd is in memory of Todd Penaluna-a wonderful camper-whose parents, Tom & Sonja Penaluna are Honorary Board Members and are on the Camp's Foundation Board. Thank you to Taylor Construction (Charlie) for unloading the bridge; Hall & Hall for engineering Marv Hoag of Contect for an exceptional job of putting the bridge on a fast track for construction and delivery, and Dave Schmitt Construction with their incredibly dedicated and caring staff, starting with Dave. Camp is very excited about this project! 6 The Monticello Pizza Ranch will donate half of all sales for the day to Camp Courageous! (Sorry, does not apply to gift certificates) Win Prizes! Sample Cupcakes! Help Decide the People’s Choice Winner!!

Pizza Ranch Benefit One of the favorite activities for all campers has been activities provided in the indoor pool. The pool is so incredible that in 2010, Aquatics International awarded the Camp Courageous Indoor Pool “2010 Best of Aquatics -Wellness/Rehab Center.” Judge’s Comment: “The camp’s commitment to its donors’ dollars is very impressive.” This reaffirms that the initial investment was a good one. Between campers and the public, it’s estimated that 100,000 individuals have used the pools! Camp Courageous is now seeking funding for an HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) system for the indoor pool area. At about 12 years old, due to the nature of chemical and water within a building, the current ventilation duct system housed within the cement deck that surrounds both pools has substantially caved in. This has limited the free flow of air, dehumidification, and the quality of air in the natatorium area. The building has only one of two dehumidification systems currently working. It is at a point where something needs to be done, but the camp would rather put in a new overhead HVAC system than spend (L-R) Counselor Uriel thousands of dollars Moorer of Atlanta, making repairs that GA presents camper may only get camp Abram Black of IA his by for another year Muscatine, swimming award or so. A new HVAC system will cost $315,042 according to Brecke Mechanical Contractors in Cedar Rapids and reviewed by other individuals in the field. We are grateful for your support of this project. Donations of $1,000 or more will have a beautiful corian block placed on the pool wall. For more details contact Charlie Becker at [email protected]. Monticello Pizza Ranch 505 E. Oak Street Ph. 319-465-6000 A big thank you to Lions District 9EC Governor, Kathy Rhinehart for choosing to have her convention at Camp Courageous. It was a wonderful day with lots of great speakers and the opportunity for Lions members to see first hand what they support. Thank you to Monk Orchard for donating these apples. Volunteers will peel them and they will be made into applesauce that will be enjoyed for months to come. Dear Rolando - Gary and I would like to thank you and camp’s staff for providing Scott Suchomel a wonderful “1st” trip alone. He had a great time, and we are so happy for him. We are so very fortunate to have a wonderful organization as Camp Courageous to enhance our special population's lives. It means so much to families of special needs persons. Wishing you and Camp Courageous a wonderful Holiday Season and a wonderful year ahead. Sincerely, Judy and Gary Suchomel JANUARY 2013 - Camp Courageous - www.campcourageous.org Manchester Garage Sale has another great year! Back-To-School Festival! Anything not sold at the end of the season at the Manchester Garage Sale is donated to Goodwill... enough to fill a semi. Above are the volunteers that helped fill the semi. Thank you to Goodwill for their help, throughout the months the Garage Sale is open (AprilOctober). Camp Courageous held it’s annual Back-To-School Festival on Tuesday, September 18, 2012. Special education students and staff visited the camp for a day full of fun activities. Students enjoyed swimming, train rides, and more during this year’s festival. Everyone enjoyed snacks and prizes… everyone walked away as a winner! Manchester Garage Sale Volunteers present a special basket to Wayne Burkle, Manager of Boubins and all the Boubins' staff in Manchester. They are great neighbors to the Garage Sale, and are constantly there to help the Garage Sale. (L-R) Board President, Winnie Williams, accepts the final check of the year from Delores Propst and the Manchester Garage Sale. It was the best sale ever! Thank you to all the volunteers, donors, and shoppers! It was a treat to give a program to the Dubuque Noon Optimist Club. Back in the late 60s they took a young 7th grader who came from a relatively poor home with zero talent and insisted upon me entering the Optimist Oratorical Speech Contest. With the help and guidance of Denny Ganzmer, I made it to the big presentation. After a few words I froze. Somehow they talked me into trying it again after completely embarrassing myself the first time. The next year I received a third place trophy... my first and only trophy for about another 20 years. They were Optimist! Thank you for giving a kid, that was just a worker... not in speech club, debate, theatre, etc... a chance. -Charlie Thank you to Phil & Shirley Martin for helping with the Back To School Festival… which they have been doing for many years!

There were so many great outfits. Pictured are the winners. Jane Schneiter Abe Black Zach Knosp Jane, Abe, and Zach won for “Most Creative” Kevin Ahrensen “Most Handsome” Ron Pfeiffer - “Most Funny” Lori Feldman “Most Scary” Ericka Chally “Cutest” Watch the Camp Courageous web site for details about future camper events: www.campcourageous.org Thank you to the Kiwanis Club of the Marion Sunrisers who meet every Tuesday at the Marion Hy-Vee.

Members include Don & Donna Bean, Gordon Bowser, George & Nancy Domer, Mel & Carolyn Holubar, Jim & Mildred Jessen, Emil Koval, Norm & Mary EllenWright and Will Ogle. It is amazing what this group accomplishes! Maquoketa now has a place to collect cans and bottles for the camp. The Knights of Pythias have provided a collection site on East Platt St. where the public can place bottles and cans. The pull tabs are removed to be donated and the empties are returned for the deposit. Many thanks to Mrs. Charlie Sagers of Maquoketa, who donated the painting of the sign. The Knights would like to challenge any and all communities to do the same.

Two wonderful ladies, who have faced the loss of their husbands... our deepest sympathy goes out to them. Marginal Note: Intelligence without ambition is a bird without wings. Happy 92nd birthday to Genieve Stickney! Stickney's Scoreboard in Marion was the meeting place for many Camp Courageous committee meetings, bingo benefits, and much more, back in the 70s and 80s. Harold and Genieve Stickney have always been very good to camp. With Genieve is her son, Danny, who has helped camp with many projects, like the need for hundreds of 4”x4”x32” ties for the train track. Happy 90th birthday to Alberta Gallagher! It was a joy to have Alberta visit camp. Alberta would be the sister-in-law of camp's founder, John Gallagher. Her husband, Tom, and Lou Holly (right) worked together for many years at Alliant Energy (Iowa Electric). Many wonderful memories were shared. It was a great day...and Alberta had fun dancing and singing with the campers in the lodge. 25 With Judy Ferrall’s passing, an era has come to an end…but a beautiful legacy has been left for all of us to remember. Bob & Judy Ferrall were a wonderful couple, who made us laugh and enjoy life to its fullest. They owned and operated Ferrall Drug in downtown Monticello for 31 years. Judy and the family requested memorials to Camp Courageous. Sarah A. Wolfe, 33, of Waterloo, Iowa, died of a sudden illness Tuesday, Oct. 16, 2012, at Covenant Medical Center, Waterloo.Born May 2, 1979, in Independence, Iowa. Sarah was the daughter of Tom and Meredith (Wagner) Wolfe. She graduated from Washington High School in 2000. She worked at Options of Linn County and the last year and a half was a resident of Harmony House in Waterloo. Sarah loved the Iowa Hawkeyes, participated in the Special Olympics, and enjoyed movies and music. She especially loved her niece, Trystan. Sarah will be greatly missed by all who knew her. Her family asked that memorials be sent to Camp Courageous. Camp's sympathy goes out to the family of Norma Lee Robinson of Fairfield. Norma touched many lives and was very active with camp through the Fairfield Kiwanis. She was a great promoter of camp, because she saw first hand the good being done. Norma requested memorials be made to Camp Courageous. With much sadness, camp learned of the passing of Karli Lynn Hilgenberg, who lost her life in a car accident on October 15th, 2012. Karli was a special young woman and was attending college for a degree in Early Child Education. Camp's sympathy goes out to her father Craig Hilgenberg of Cedar Rapids and her mother Jacque Rowray of Anamosa, along with all her friends and family. The family asked that memorials for Karli be left to Camp Courageous. Galen Helgens, 81 from Monticello passed away Sunday, 12/23/12. Galen was a fun person to be around. Since 1990 Galen would cook omelets for the Camp's Omelet Breakfast and pancakes for the Pancake Breakfast. He did this until his health no longer gave him the opportunity. He enjoyed many folks wanting him to cook their omelet. Galen was always close by when help was needed. Camp's sympathy goes out to Margie and Family. Camp's sympathies go out to the family of Gladys Hilsenbeck. Gladys and her husband Jim, from Marion, IA have been dear friends and longtime supporters of camp. A warm and wonderful couple, Jim and Gladys delivered many much needed supplies to the camp. She will be sadly missed.

Our sympathy goes out to Sally and his entire family. They don’t come any finer than Harlan. The family has asked that memorials be sent to Camp Courageous. Camp’s sympathy goes out to the family of Francis R. “Pit” Pitlik of Cedar Rapids. Francis and Helen have been very involved with camp and always made it to the breakfasts. We met years ago, when introduced by Kay and Bill Pitlik. The family asked that memorials be directed to Camp Courageous at: P.O. Box 418, Monticello, IA, 52310, in Francis’ memory. Thank you to Noelridge Dental in Cedar Rapids for their teeth whitening benefit that they ran last summer. Molly Breslin (R) was key to organizing this benefit for the camp.

Thank you to Richard (Doc) Rossman of Preston for delivering a car load of items to camp from the Preston Lions Club. A great club, and Doc is a peach! Consider applying for a volunteer, internship, or paid program position at Camp Courageous this spring and/or summer season. Working with children and adults with special needs is often a very real challenge. Campers may need help with personal care including feeding, dressing and personal hygiene. Some campers exhibit behavior challenges. Patience, energy, good judgment, and enthusiasm are important qualifications for a position at Camp Courageous. The hours are long. An unselfish attitude and an emphasis on teamwork are needed. If you have the necessary attributes, apply for a live-in position at camp. Room and board is provided. Non-smokers only. Camp Courageous also currently has a yearround Dietary Director position and other positions in the dietary department available. Spring seasons is March 25 to May 17.

It was a nice surprise to have Bill Hollenback of Farley and Andy Hollenback of Epworth stop by with a vehicle full of supplies for camp. Bill's son, Jess, is a Camp Courageous camper and loves it here....”highlight of his year.” It was great to have Daisy Scout Troop 7287 from Anamosa here to help this fall. The girls had previously learned about people with disabilities and decided to come out to camp and do some volunteering. They worked on a variety of projects and were a big help. Thanks to all the girls and to group leader Monica Edwards for setting things up. A load of Yellow Delicious Apples are brought to Camp Courageous by Laura Larabee. She is part of the family that owns Gravert’s Apple Basket Orchard of Sabula, IA. Thank you to Marilyn and Bob Meyer who bring a car load of gifts for the campers each year. A very thoughtful and caring couple! Dear Friend - This letter arrives to you from Mr. Matusz's art classes of Ocean City High School in Ocean City, New Jersey. First and foremost, we would like to say thank you. Thank you for devoting a part of your life to making the world around you a better place. Secondly, I would like to let you know why this letter was sent to you. After watching a news program that outlined the hardships facing our nation’s Post Office I came to the conclusion that if we sent more letters through the mail, the Post Office would not be in danger of becoming extinct. Everybody likes receiving a letter in the mail and many hard working men and women who work for the Post Office could surely benefit from a rise in the amount of mail being sent across our country. After choosing who they would like to send a letter to, Ocean City High School art students illustrated the envelopes. We have over 100 letters being sent to 100 different locations in all 50 states. If you are inclined to write back to us we would love to hear from you and it will keep many mail carrier happy as well. You can reach us at: Mr. Matusz's Art Class, Ocean City High School, 501 Atlantic Ave, Ocean City NJ 08226. Thanks again for what you do and for taking the time to read this letter. We hope your enjoy the artwork. Sincerely - Mr. Matusz's Art Class Marginal Note: Don’t be afraid to give up the good to go for the great. 27 Fruitcake sales a big success!
