My truck doesn’t have a name. It seems only right
that when you have a vehicle as long as I have
and treated it with as little regard for its own good
as I have that it deserves a name. It’s actually an
SUV, a 1995 Honda Passport to be precise. So
does that make it a car or a truck? I think to answer that questions, you have to look at what you
use it for. In my case, it is definitely a truck.
the time and would have backed into whomever
was sitting there. Lucky me.
I’ve had the thing packed to the roof with lumber,
dirt, mulch, newspapers, toys, tools and, almost
every week, a ton of band gear. On occasion, it
smells bad, is covered in mud and, more than
once, blunt objects like steel fence posts have
shifted in transit and blown out windows from
the inside or torn fabric. Yes, when it comes to
my Sport Utility Vehicle, I have tested the bounds
of “utility” and found it up to the challenge every
time. I’ve driven through streams, over fallen trees
and down stairs. And in return I’ve shown it my
appreciation by not washing it, not waxing it and
not vacuuming it. It’s ugly. The peeling clearcoat
is helping the oxidation process. The rust is starting around all the edges. The hundred and eleven
thousand miles on it were well-earned.
It’s in sad shape. But it runs and I love it. So why
get rid of it? Everyone refers to it as thought it’s
already dead. Ralph Kluseman, one of our 365
guys, also has a lot of years under his belt as a
car salesman. He keeps talking about getting rid
of it as though it is a foregone conclusion. I pretty
much think a truck is a truck until is stops moving. But I do admit, it’s certainly showing signs of
age. I’d like to call then marks of character, but
when those marks of character cost me $800 to
So now, when everyone is sure it time to put a
fix, it really isn’t so endearing.
bullet into the beast, I see it a different way. I have
just put on new exhaust, new brakes, new belts,
new tires and sealed all the leaky door and window gaskets that were letting in water and wind. I
figure she’s good for another 100,000 miles.
Still, I do think about going with a new truck.
Something that is quiet enough I can have a conversation when I’m driving on the highway. Something I can plug my iPod into. Something with intermittent wipers, you know. Real classy. But I also
love the feeling of having no car payment.
I just had the whole exhaust system replaced. You
could hear me coming a mile away, as was kindly
pointed out to me by more than one friendly member of the Wisconsin Highway Patrol who had the
dedication to purpose to pull me over multiple
times in one night for the headlight that had just
burned out. Turns out it wasn’t a bad muffler. No,
it was pretty clear to the experts who looked at it
with me and laughed that every square inch of the
exhaust like had rusted and rotted to the core. And
now my driver’s side door is, well, it’s falling off. I
asked if they can weld it back on. “To be honest,”
they said, “I’m not sure. It’s pretty bad.” Great!

It’s just the latest in a long line of “character
marks” that have befallen my beast. I walked to
work one snowy morning to find the truck about
three feet out of its parking lot space with a big
old dent in the front bumper. Our
office is at the corner of 1st and
Main in downtown Dubuque.
Our parking lot is next to Oky
Doky. I can only assume someone had a few too many on Main
Friday night and fishtailed out
of the gas station right into my
poor truck and took off. It nicely
matches the dent in the passenger side from the kid who hit me
in East Dubuque late one night. I
was one of the few sober people
leaving town at 3:30 in the morning. My band had
been playing at the Arena (R.I.P.). I was waiting,
stopped in traffic on Sinsinawa traffic right in front
of the Arena. He backed out of his parking spot
directly into me. Clearly he was of sound mind at

So if I do get a new one, what do I get? For being
so bad to my Honda, I love it. I love how it looks.
Not the dents, but moreso, how it was originally
designed. I’m kinda picky about my vehicles.
I need to think it’s cool. Some trucks just look
dumpy, or wussy or that they’re trying too hard.
I like square looking trucks. Jeeps, Pathfinders,
the Nitro is cool looking. Some of the other cool
ones are simply out of my price range. And do I
dare go with an actual NEW truck? I’d have to seriously change my approach to vehicle maintenance. And with gas at
37 dollars a gallon, maybe I should
sell my soul and get a minivan.
No, nevermind, I tried to say it but
simply typing it make my hands
start to shake. Can’t go there. Do
they make a SUV Hybrid for under
$30,000?
I’m stumped. Do you have advice
for me. Do I sell the old girl and
get me a new truck and if so what
should I get? Do I keep putting money into her
for old time’s sake because utility is more important to me than style? And most importantly,
what should I name her? (Send me an e-mail:

WINE ON THE JOB ... YEAH, BEATS WORKING FOR A LIVING

MAY 29 - JUNE 11
Anyone who lives in the Dubuque area
is familiar with Asbury Road. It starts
at the busy three-way intersection with
University Avenue and rolls west through
Dubuque to the city for which the road is
named – Asbury. No doubt many are familiar with the stretch of road that continues past Asbury to Sundown Mountain.
But beyond the ski slopes, where does
Asbury Road go?
For those who have not made the drive
along the road that winds its way west
through the scenic rolling hills of
Dubuque County, Asbury Road leads to
Bankston, Iowa, and a hilly parcel of land
as beautiful as its name would suggest
– Park Farm Winery.
On a recent sunny May afternoon, 365
editor Tim Brechlin and I made that scenic drive to meet Park Farm general manager Dave Cushman, tour the facility,
take a few photos and learn about its operations. Not bad work if you can get it.
But first a little background. Park Farm is
a family business. Started by Cushman’s
parents Elizabeth and Dave (Sr.) on some
family farmland as an interesting
diversion, the project took on a life
of its own, drawing their son and
his family back from Colorado.
With his background in civil engineering and construction, Dave
built the French Chateau-inspired
winery building in 2004, fulfilling
his mother’s dream. Brothers Tom
and Jim moved back from Minnesota to help with construction.
Oldest daughter Annie returned
from missionary work in Chile to
help with the tasting room
and event management.
From the planting of the first
grapes, Park Farm has been a
family project.
When we arrived, Dave had
just come in from the vineyard where he was working
with his brother Jim, now the
vineyard manager. They are
planting 1,800 new vines,
a significant addition to the
existing 2,600 vines on the
estate’s 10-acre vineyard. The
planting includes a new hybrid grape, Marquette. Developed
in Minnesota to survive Midwestern
winters and shorter growing seasons,
Marquette’s lineage includes the pinot noir grape, maybe made most
famous by the movie Sideways. But
unlike the movie, there is no pretension here – just good wine made
with Iowa grapes.
The first thing we notice, aside from the
stately chateau-styled building set on the
hilltop overlooking the stunning beauty of
the surrounding valley, is the huge deck
and patio on the south side of the building. Expanded last fall to accommodate
one of the Cushman girls’ wedding reception, the 40-by-80-foot expanse can host
weddings or other parties of up to 200 or
even 250 people. It’s also the location
of Park Farm’s live music series (more on
that later).
Dave takes us on a tour of the winery,
stopping first in the chateau’s expansive
event room with its large hearth, fully
functional kitchen, wine bar (of course)
and huge bank of west facing windows
giving the room a warm mid-afternoon
glow. The room is available for parties
and receptions of all kinds, by the way.
If there is a particular caterer you like,
bring them out. Park Farm has already
hosted most area caterers.
We venture down the hall to the tasting
room to sample a couple of the eighteen
varieties that Park Farm produces (reds and
whites from sweet to dry, plus a range of
fruit wines). Dave gives us a taste of Crescent, a new sweet white wine which should
be available mid-June. Lush and sweet balanced by a tart acidity, this wine is bursting
with fruit flavor and notes of green apple,
rhubarb and strawberries. Though more of
a fan of dry reds, the Crescent inspires me
to want to pair it with pie. Yum.
is 12,000 gallons annually. Most of the
French and American oak barrels hold
red wines except six dedicated to the
white Fume (LaCrosse, a hybrid of Fume
Blanc, the American version of the French
sauvignon blanc). Dave explains that the
winery produced as much this year as the
first two years in sales combined.
We also talked about where the grapes
come from. Part of Park Farm’s aesthetic
is to use locally grown grapes, or at least
grapes that grow in a temperate zone
matching Iowa’s, as much as possible. That’s why the labels list grapes
like Vidal Blanc, Marechal Foch,
Chambourcin, and Frontenac, and
not the more familiar Chardonnay,
Merlot, and Cabernet grapes made
famous by California wineries.
Those vines don’t do well in Iowa’s
climate. (For more on hybrid wine
grapes and Elmer Swenson, the
Wisconsin farmer who started the
experimentation for this climate in
the 1940s, check out Jim Cushman’s
blog on varietals on the Park Farm
Web site, www.parkfarmwinery.
com.) Including the grapes grown
on the estate, Park Farm’s wine is
primarily produced from Iowa (approximately 6,500 gallons) and
other Midwestern grapes (approximately 1,500 gallons). The winery
does use some of the same grape varieties as those locally grown from
the East (Pennsylvania and the Lake Erie
region, approximately 4,500 gallons).
Next up we try the ’07 Vineyard Select,
an estate-grown dry red blend of Marechal Foch and Frontenac that is also not
quite ready yet. For comparison we work
backwards trying the ’06 and ’05 vintages, tasting the subtle differences that each
year’s growing conditions and the winemaker’s art has on the resulting wine. “It’s
fun to do a vertical comparison,” notes
Dave, “now that we have some history.”
Other new wines on the horizon include
a Traminette and a port. Traminette is a
French/American hybrid white with
parentage from the crisp and sweet
Gewürztraminer and retains much of
the parent grape’s character, with rosy
floral and citrus notes, Made from
the Frontenac grape, Park Farm’s first
port will be available in July. “We
have a lot of bottling to do in the next
couple weeks,” chuckles Dave.
We take a quick tour through the
production room with its giant stainless steel tanks and rows of oak barrels. Current capacity for production
Dave takes us on a tour of the winery’s
central tower. Always part of the building’s structure, the tower’s interior is now
being finished for some very special uses.
We walk past dusty workmen and power
tools to see views even more amazing
than those from the south and west decks.
Extending upwards two more stories, the
tower will be available for private dinner
parties, a bridal chamber for weddings,
and will serve as a reserve tasting room
– accessible to Park Farm’s Case Club

Donkey Baseball is taking place
on Sunday, June 8, beginning at
6 p.m. at Veterans Memorial Park.
Sunday’s activities will run from 11 a.m.
- 5 p.m., featuring food, beverages, activities and entertainment for the whole
family. The day will also coincide with the
Dubuque County Historical Society’s Lead
Rush Across the Mississippi River, a re-enactment of the historic lead rush of 1833.
Families can watch a re-telling of the early
days of Dubuque, as lead miners cross the
river from Illinois to stake their claims to the
best patches of land first. Paddlers will arrive
at the Ice Harbor Park, the Museum Boatyard
and the Ice Harbor portion of the Riverwalk,
where historical events will take place. The
Lead Rush will begin at 1 p.m.
So, there’s the obvious question: Just what
on Earth is Donkey Baseball? Simply put,
it’s a variation of the good old-fashioned
game of baseball ... in which the players
ride donkeys, rather than running the bases. But so do the fielders ... what a mess!
All proceeds from this event will go towards the Wendt Regional Cancer Center, the Dubuque Colts and the Dubuque
Area Labor Harvest. Tickets are $5 in
advance or $7 at the gate (pre-schoolers get in free), and are available now at
the Dubuque Eagles Club, the Dubuque
Colts headquarters at 1101 Central Avenue, or by calling 563-599-6476.
At’ll do donkey, at’ll do!
To coincide with Dubuque’s 175th nniversary date (June 1, 1833), a celebration will
be held on Saturday, May 31, and Sunday,

Port of Dubuque.
Saturday’s festivities will begin at 7 p.m.,
with live entertainment provided by

FBN Presents “Bright Ideas”
Hey, what’s the bright idea?
So asks Fly By Night Productions, in the
next theatrical show of its 2007-2008
season.
Appropriately
titled, the show is called
Bright Ideas.
The story focuses upon
Genevra and Joshua Bradley, who have reached an
exciting point in their lives.
Their 3-year-old son, Mac,
who has shown extraordinary aptitude, is next on
the waiting list for the prestigious Bright Ideas Early
Childhood Development
Academy. As the story
goes, once a child enters Bright Ideas, the
rest of the road of life is smooth sailing.
They’ve spent their entire married lives to
get to this point and to have Mac ready
for Bright Ideas ... but they still have to
survive a dinner party before Mac will be
accepted. As Fly By Night
promises ... “you may never
look at pre-school, or pesto, the same way again.”
Bright Ideas will be shown
in the Bijou Room of the
Five Flags Theater on May
30, 31, June 1, 6, 7 & 8.
Showtimes are 8 p.m. for
Friday and Saturday and 2

Best-Selling Author Tess Gerritsen
Meet a best-selling author!
The Carnegie-Stout Public Library has
announced that best-selling author Tess
Gerritsen will speak at the Library on
Thursday, June 5.
Who is Tess Gerritsen, you
ask? We’ve got the answers!
Gerritsen, a medical doctor,
began writing romantic suspense novels while on maternity leave. Her first novel,
Call After Midnight, was
published in 1987. Eight romance novels and a decade
later, she began using her
medical knowledge to write
medical thrillers (think Michael Crichton, but better).
The first of these, Harvest,
was published in 1996, and it made its way
to the New York Times bestseller list, as has
each subsequent book. She’s so well known
in the field, in fact, that Publishers Weekly
has named Gerritsen the “medical suspense
queen.”
JUNE
11
“I’d been writing stories since I was a child,”
Gerritsen said in a released statement. “I
wrote little books for my mom and bound
them myself with needles and thread.
Mostly they were about my pets.”
Personnel from River
Lights 2nd Edition will
be on hand to help
with the sale of Gerritsen’s books, and she
will be available for
signing them after the
program.
The 3rd floor auditorium doors will open
at 6 p.m. and the program will begin at 7
p.m. Admission is free,
but limited seating will
be available on a first-come, first-served
basis only. For additional information,
please call the Library Information Desk
at 563-589-4225 option 4. For more information on Tess Gerritsen, her Web site is

Dubuque. There’s always an open reading
to follow. Writers are encouraged to read

HOW OLD IS DUBUQUE365.COM? YOU TELL US!
11
GIVING VOICE•PAM KRESS-DUNN
MAY 29 - JUNE 11
How Old Are You?
compelled to tell the world how many
years you’ve accrued.
There’s a great song by Loudon Wainwright III (Rufus’s dad) called “How Old
Are You?” In it, he laments the way the
media hounds him about his personal
life, especially his age. “How old are
you?” they ask over and over, as if they
want to know if he’s a has-been yet.
So ask yourself: why do you want to
know the age of that criminal, that hero,
that ordinary Joe who won the lottery?
Is it so you can figure out how closely
he or she resembles you? It’s one thing
when you read the obituaries. “He was
only 62,” you say to your spouse, even
if you didn’t know the guy. “That’s really young.” The older you get, the more
years you need to seem old. Suddenly,
75 is “young-old,” and only people 90
or over seem really elderly.
I thought about this the other day when
I heard that it was Nora Ephron’s birthday. Her many accomplishments include the screenplay for “Sleepless in
Seattle” and, more recently, her book
I Feel Bad About My Neck. Though
I’ve seen the movie, I haven’t read
the book, but I’m assuming it’s full
of complaints about what advancing
age is doing to her once nubile body
and face. (Funny how we think of the
two as separate components of what
is, after all, one package deal.)
In some countries, people are more
revered the older they get. The United
States of America is not, unfortunately,
one of those countries. One of the big
questions about John McCain’s run for
the presidency is whether we really want
to elect a man who would be 76 by the
time his first term ends. And that’s not to
mention the ongoing debate about Generation X (Obama) vs. the Baby Boomer
(H. Clinton). Is he too wet behind the
ears? Is she too set in her ways? Does
age matter in matters of state?
It used to be that a woman never
revealed her age once she reached
39. These days, Vogue magazine
does a special issue once a year on
women of different ages, spotlighting some beauty from each decade,
from the 20’s all the way to the 80’s.
It’s a laudable endeavor, although of
course every one of those women
looks impeccably good. (Just as, in
their annual “shape issue,” every
different shape, from reed thin to
voluptuous, looks fabulous in a way
no normal woman can pull off.)
I confess, I was interested to see her
birthdate. Nora was born in 1941,
making her older than me. A LOT older than me. Geez, she’s almost 70! I
had no idea. And yet I think of her as
young, and I’ll bet she does, too. No
wonder she feels bad about her neck.
It’s a pain when one’s body parts look
different in the mirror than they feel
inside.
But it’s more of a pain when people
insist on doing the math, the way I
did. It’s hard not to, because newspapers and magazines insist on revealing the ages of everyone in their
pages. No matter what you’re in there
for – saving the ball game, getting arrested, crashing your car, winning the
Nobel Peace Prize – the editor feels
to tick off the items on their bucket lists.
When it’s somebody who won some
prize, you probably want to know how
many years you have left to achieve a
similar honor. If it’s an athlete, you no
doubt want to gauge how soon she’ll
have to hang up her running shoes before
arthritis and shin splints take their toll.
Time tocks on, and nobody gets forever
But I digress. This is about age, not
looks. How old are you? Does it
bother you to be asked? I was fired
from a writing gig when the editor
decided to go after a younger audience, as if my interests were markedly different from those of women
decades younger. True, I’m not going
to write much about teething babies
or – well, actually there are very few
things I can think of that concern only
women under 30. My friends and I are
interested in, and able to carry on a
conversation about, all sorts of things
we cared about as 20-somethings,
from art and music to makeup and
fashion to health and yoga to books
and gardens. Topics only older women care about? I don’t think so.
It gets tiring, trying to hide one’s age. If I
decide I don’t want you, my dear reader, to know just how old I am, then I
can’t write about how I saw the Beatles
in person. (True, I was a preteen, but not
young enough to keep from standing on
my seat and screaming during the entire concert.) If I want to pretend to be
a spring chicken, then I might feel compelled to hide from you the fact that I
was married before, a long time ago, divorced after eight years, and remained
single for another twenty before I found
true love with a much nicer man.
The thing is, I don’t want to keep things
like that a secret. In this instance, it’s because I want to be able to tell you (especially if you’re a woman) that it’s okay
to be single for two decades, rather than
settling for Mr. Wrong just to be a Mrs.
again. I want to be able to be honest no
matter where the conversation turns.
The other day, my husband and I were
at a party with a lot of younger people,
and he asked them, “What was your first
flashbulb moment?” They named the
Challenger disaster, Iran Contra, the beginning of Desert Storm. Most of them
weren’t alive for the one that marked us
– the assassination of John F. Kennedy. I
wasn’t about to pretend I don’t remember that one like it happened yesterday.
I was in fourth grade. How old am I?
You do the math. I don’t care.

OPENING DURING THIS ISSUE
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom
of the Crystal Skull - A Film by Steven Spielberg
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull picks
up almost 20 years after The Last Crusade took Indy (Harrison Ford) on a trip across the desert to find the Holy
Grail. In this latest adventure, Indiana is embroiled in
the Cold War and his enemies are now the Soviets. As
the film opens, Indy and his sidekick Mac (Ray Winstone) have been captured by and are taken to Hangar
51 in the remote Nevada desert. There, Indy is asked
to locate a crate containing unknown treasure. Once
found, the crate leads Indy, Mac, former girlfriend Marion (Karen Allen) and Marion’s son Mutt (Shia LaBeouf)
to South America in
search of the mysterious Crystal Skull and
a missing friend (John
Hurt as Professor Oxley). With the Soviets,
lead by Irina Spalko
(Cate Blanchett), hot
on their heels, Indy
and Mutt will have to
move quickly if they
are to stop the Soviets
from finding the skull
first and dominating
the world.
This latest installment in the Indiana Jones movie series
could never live up to the high standard set by Raiders of
the Lost Ark and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade but
it comes incredibly close. This movie is action-packed
and really moves along. There is barely a dull moment
and it has all of the makings of the original three films,
easily besting the mediocre Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Fast-paced car chases, interesting locales
and the familiar character interaction we’ve come accustomed to with Indiana Jones are all here. New cast
members join some old favorites to add something new
to the mix (and provide the opportunity for additional
installments in the coming years). The film is a solid
summer blockbuster that should break several box office records this holiday weekend but a 5-minute segment of the movie near the ending fell well short of the
mark in this reviewer’s mind and actually cost the film
one kernel in our rating system. Still, 95 percent of a
movie about Indiana Jones is better than 100 percent of
many other films. Grab that big tub of popcorn and get
comfortable. This is a film you need to see on the big
screen.
Sex & the City (5/30)
Set four years after we last saw the ladies,
Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker), Samantha
(Kim Cattrall), Miranda (Cynthia Nixon)
and Charlotte (Kristin Davis) negotiate their
friendships, romances, and careers in New York City. At
the center of it all is Carrie’s pending nuptials to Mr. Big
(Chris Noth). Meanwhile Miranda and Steve deal with
infidelity, Charlotte is pregnant and Samantha is in her
first-ever monogamous relationship....
The Strangers (5/30)
After returning from a wedding reception, a
couple staying in an isolated vacation house
receive a knock on the door in the midhours of the night. What ensues is a violent
invasion by three strangers, their faces hidden behind
masks. The couple find themselves in a violent struggle,
in which they go beyond what either of them thought
capable in order to survive.
You Don’t Mess With the Zohan (6/6)
Zohan, an Israeli commando, decides to
give hip his Uzi and fakes his own death in
order to pursue his dream: Picking up a pair
of scissors and becoming a hairstylist in New
York. He romances his clients by giving them “special
services” in the back room. However, he is eventually
recognized by Phantom, his Palestinian arch-nemesis,
and risks losing his newfound life and career. Directed
by Dennis Dugan (I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry), starring Adam Sandler and John Turturro.
Kung Fu Panda (6/6)
Po (Jack Black) is a panda who is an apprentice noodle-maker and kung fu fanatic, but
whose defining characteristic appears to be
that he is the laziest animal in ancient China.
Evil warrior Tai Lung (Ian McShane) has escaped from
prison, and all hopes have been pinned on a prophecy
naming Po as the “Chosen One” to save the day. He
has a kung fu master, Shifu (Dustin Hoffman) who “has
trained five of the greatest warriors that the world has
ever known”, to help him.

THE
RottenTomatoes collects the thoughts of dozens of movie reviewers
across the country and averages their scores into a fresh or rotten
rating. If a movie gets 60% or higher positive reviews, it is FRESH!
- Once-troubled actor Robert Downey
Jr. has experienced something of a career renaissance in the light of the success of Iron Man. Downey Jr. is now in
negotiations to play legendary Playboy
mogul Hugh Hefner in a theatrical biopic. Hefner was, according to reports, highly impressed with the actor’s turn as playboy Tony Stark.
The movie may begin shooting next summer, with
Brian Grazer (Apollo 13) producing.
- Rumors are flying that former Destiny’s Child singer and current R&B
star Beyonce Knowles has been approached to record the theme song for
the upcoming James Bond film, Quantum of Solace. Knowles would replace
troubled performer Amy Winehouse, whose drug issues have forced her off the project.
- Legendary cranky old man Christopher Tolkien, son of author J.R.R. Tolkien, is reportedly furious with plans to
move ahead with a theatrical adaptation of The Hobbit (to be helmed by
Pan’s Labyrinth director Guillermo del
Toro), and plans to file another motion in his longrunning lawsuit against the producers of the Lord of
the Rings films. Tolkien has scheduled an early June
court hearing in the hopes of somehow terminating
Warner Bros.’ rights to the films.
- Richard Dreyfuss has entered final
negotiations to star in Oliver Stone’s
upcoming George W. Bush biopic, W.
Dreyfuss, if signed, would play Vice
President Dick Cheney, filling the last
major role. The rest of the cast includes
Josh Brolin (President Bush), Thandie Newton (Condoleezza Rice) and Elizabeth Banks (Laura Bush).
- Production has begun on a big-screen
feature film of Hannah Montana. Unlike the previous “3-D concert” film,
this will be a scripted full-length feature. The story will follow character
Miley Stewart (Miley Cyrus) as her
growing popularity threatens to take over her life.
The rest of America yawns.

The Four Freshmen are one of the most
revolutionary vocal groups in history,
inspiring acts such as the Beach Boys
and pioneering the “close-harmony” vocal style. Hit singles include “It’s a Blue
World,” “Mood Indigo,” “Day by Day”
and “Graduation Day.” The group, active since 1948, no longer has any of the

lic is invited to walk along the block
throughout the day and observe the
artistic happenings. The event will be
split into three divisions: Children under
13, who will be provided an area for
drawing (though their art will not be
judged competitively); Youth from 13
- 18; and Adults over 18. Drawings will
be judged on technique, use of color,
composition and creativity. First prize
will be $100, $50 for second prize and
$25 for third prize.
and passers-by would drop money in a
nearby basket. Sidewalk art also draws
from Zen influences, as the art conveys
the impermanence and fleeting nature
of life. Think about it: The first time we
have another good rainfall, that sidewalk art will be lost to the ages.
We all used sidewalk chalk as kids,
didn’t we? Some drew flowers and
clouds, some drew cars, and there was
always that weird kid down the street
who drew ... things that weird kids draw.
The 1000 Block of Upper Main is bringing back sidewalk art ... with style.
It’s the first annual Chalk the Block of
Dubuque’s Main Street, scheduled for
June 7 - 8. Based on an art form that
originated in Renaissance Italy, “Chalking the Block,” so to speak, was originally a way for an artist to make a living,
not entirely unlike the street musicians
you see today. Painters would create
their art on a busy sidewalk or pathway,
Furthermore, the entire community
can take part in the event as part of
the Best of Block voting. Everyone who
visits the 1000 Block during the event
can vote for their favorite work of art,
and the winner will receive gift certificates from 1000 Block merchants.
Dubuque’s Chalk the Block, sponsored by the merchants of the 1000
Block of Upper Main Street, will be free
and open to foot traffic from the public, and a wide variety of local artists
have been selected to participate
in the event. Artists will use pastels to
create the sidewalk art, and the pub-
It’s also a great opportunity to re-discover the amazing shopping and entertainment opportunities available
everyday on Upper Main. Dining, clothers, books, coffee, treats and so much
more, all in one beautifully restored
block. So while you Chalk the Block,
you’ll also want to Shop the Block.

Kalmes’ Block Party
With Badfish and Hard Salami
Saturday, June 7
Cruisin’ for a Bluesin’!
Bob Dorr & the Blue Band, Friday, June 6
Set sail on Friday, June 6, on the Mississippi River for the 2008
Blues Cruise. Hop aboard the mighty Spirit of Dubuque for a
three-hour tour with Bob Dorr & the Blue Band!
Music in Jackson Park, the free evening concerts in well, Jackson Park, returns for the
summer season. Held on the second Sundays
of June, July, and August, from 6 to 8 p.m.
Music in the Park celebrates the diversity of
downtown Dubuque’s North-end neighborhoods. The first installment, scheduled for
Sunday, June 8, will feature Latin rock and
dance band ochOsol from 6 to 8 p.m.
The Blue Band was recently inducted into the Iowa Rock ‘n’
Roll Hall of Fame. Led by Bob Dorr, of KUNI Iowa Public Radio fame, the Blue Band has acquired a dedicated fan base of
all ages and has become one of Iowa’s most popular bands.
Kalmes Breaktime, the Warehouse District’s
favorite bar and purveyor of quick and hearty
lunches and dinners, hosts their annual Block
Party Saturday, June 7, from 6 p.m. to midnight. The event starts with Badfish and ends
with Hard Salami. Those are the bands, not
the menu. While yet to be determined, inside
sources say the menu will include Kalmes’ famous rib-eye steak sandwiches and pork tenderloins, which are approximately the size of
your head, but way tastier. Based on a ribeye
that 365ink editor Tim had at Kalmes Breaktime recently, they’re going to be mighty tasty,
indeed. Good thing there will be plenty of beer
both inside and out to wash it all down. Party
on the block with Kalmes. For more info, call
the restaurant/bar at 563-582-8566.
Music in Jackson Park
ochOsol, Sunday, June 8

sponsored by the Multi-Cultural Center, and
the City of Dubuque with volunteer assistance
from Americorps. Best of all, the event is free!
Bring the kids and a picnic basket or cooler.
THE BEST HORSES FOR THE BEST BEER!
19
MAY 29 - JUNE 11
Think of Budweiser. What comes to mind,
outside of the famous beer with the exclusive Beechwood Aging process that produces a taste, a smoothness and a drinkability you will find in no other beer at
any price? If you said “Clydesdale Horses,” give yourself a gold star. We ask, in
fact, because get this: The world-famous
Budweiser Clydesdales are going to be in
the Tri-State area from June 10 - 15!
The Clydesdales, which have long stood as
a symbol of quality and tradition for Anheuser-Busch, originally arrived in America
through Canadians hailing from Clydesdale, Scotland, who brought the horses in
the mid-1800s. Today, the horses are used
for breeding and show, including more than
300 annual visits to various locations made
by the five traveling Clydesdale hitches.
JUNE 13-14 -15
However, Anheuser-Busch doesn’t take
just any old Clydesdale, throw a
saddle on it and send it off to the
races (so to speak). Horses that are
selected for the Budweiser Clydesdale Hitch have a number of strict
requirements, including being at
least three years of age, roughly
standing six feet tall at the shoulder, be bay in color, have four white
stockings, white on the face and the
black mane and tail ... and weigh
an average of 2000 pounds. Wow.
The other stalwart of the Budweiser
Clydesdale Hitch is, of course, the Dalmation dog. The genesis of the Dalmatian traveling with the hitch is simple:
Dalmatians were bred and trained to
protect the horses from predators, as
well as to guard the wagon when the
driver went inside an establishment to
make a beer delivery.
The Clydesdales will be
at Eagle Point Park from 3 - 6 p.m.
on Tuesday, June 10; at the Grand
Harbor Resort from 5 - 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, June 12; in Dyersville for Downtown
Friday Nights from 3 - 6 p.m. on Friday,
June 13; in the Dubuque Ice Harbor and
on Main Street from 2 - 5 p.m. on Saturday, June 14; and in the Ice Harbor from
noon - 3 p.m. on Sunday, June 15. Additionally, the Clydesdales will be available
for viewing during non-show hours (between 9 a.m. - 7 p.m.) from June 9 - 15 in
the Dubuque Ice Harbor in conjunction
with the America’s River Festival.
MIKE AND AMY ARE LEAVING? WHAT THE HECK?!
20
MAY 29 - JUNE 11
Mike and Amy opened for the Hit and
Run Bluegrass Band, which featured
Aaron and Erin (who later got married
so they could share both first and last
names). As it turned out, Mike and
Amy were in need of a banjo and bass
player for some Colorado shows – the
very instruments the Youngbergs play.
Whether chance or fate, the two duos
continued to tour through Illinois,
Iowa, and Nebraska and eventually
decided to make an album together.
“Celebrating Dubuque’s
Terquasquicentennial
(175th) Anniversary!”
Mike & Amy Finders
CD Release & Farewell (?) Show
Thursday, June 5, Isabella’s
by Mayor Roy D. Buol
Dubuque’s upcoming anniversary marks
175 years since the Black Hawk Purchase
Treaty went into effect on June 1, 1833,
and opened to pioneers a strip of Native American land 50 miles wide on the
western bank of the Mississippi River. This
treaty legally permitted miners to “settle”
in the area now known as Dubuque.
While the official settlement of the area,
later to be known as Dubuque, occurred
in 1833, other non-Native Americans were
in the area long before that date. Julien
Dubuque, the city’s namesake, received
permission from the Mesquakie tribe to
mine lead in the area now known as the
Mines of Spain in 1788. He died in 1810
at the age of 48, and 23 years before white
pioneers could legally settle the area.
The town of Dubuque was incorporated
on April 3, 1837. Iowa was organized as
a territory in 1838 and did not become a state until 1846.
In 1897, a monument was built
overlooking the Mississippi River
and the mouth of Catfish Creek.
This location was established as the actual
gravesite by members of the Early Settlers
Association who located the remains of
not only Julien Dubuque, but also those
of an Indian chief assumed to be Peosta,
Dubuque’s friend.
Dubuque’s 175th Anniversary
Committee and KCRG-TV9
will sponsor Dubuque’s
175th Anniversary Celebration on Saturday, May 31,
and Sunday, June 1, at the
Alliant Energy Amphitheater
in the Port of Dubuque.
Saturday’s event begins at 7 p.m.
and will feature musical entertainment
by “Mighty Short Bus” followed by “The
Janeys.” Admission is free and food and
beverages will be available for purchase.
The event will conclude at midnight with a
special display!
by Mike Ironside
The Mighty Short Bus: The Mighty Short
Bus has been compared to southern rock
bands such as The Black Crowes and
Lynyrd Skynyrd, but that is only half of
their sound… maybe less. The music
goes a step further, infusing their wouldbe southern rock sound with the cold
truth of a winter’s day, giving them a true
Midwest rock sound.
The Janeys: The Janeys feature a father and
son twin guitar force with son Bryce’s gritty,
soulful vocals and tasty guitar chops, combined with father Billy Lee’s intense, rapidfire, telecaster guitar playing. A blues guitarist, songwriter, and performer, Billy Lee is a
2005 Iowa Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Fame Inductee and has been compared by some to such
greats as Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Buddy Guy,
Albert Collins and Jimi Hendrix.
If you’re reading this now, I think we
can assume you read the headline to the
story. We might also assume you are familiar with Mike and Amy Finders and
so you might be wondering what the
“Farewell Show” part is all about. Well,
let’s cut to the chase – Mike and Amy
are moving to Colorado. But before
they leave, they are playing one more
show at Isabella’s on Thursday, June 5,
from 8 p.m. to celebrate their new CD
Keep Your Suitcase Packed, a collaboration with another bluegrass and country
couple, Aaron and Erin Youngberg.
While the full album is not available
yet (it should be by the CD release
show date) a few advance tracks can be
heard on a couple of the Finders and
Youngberg web sites (www.myspace.
com/findersandyoungberg and www.reverbnation.com/findersandyoungberg).
Mike brings his signature (and awardwinning) songwriting, singing and guitar
playing to the project. Amy, as always,
adds her beautifully expressive voice
and mandolin. Erin Youngberg plays
bass, sings, and contributes to the songwriting, and Aaron Youngberg adds spirited banjo and sweet pedal steel guitar.
While the Colorado move might come
as a surprise, a quick listen to these
new tracks reveals a melding of two
talented couples that just fits. Mike is
clearly excited about the collabora-
Sunday’s event runs from 11 a.m.
to 5 p.m. and, in addition to food
and beverages, will include activities and entertainment for the entire family. Sunday’s activities will coincide with the Dubuque County Historical
Society’s “Lead Rush Across the Mississippi,” where citizens will recreate the lead
rush of 1833, when sixty or more lead
miners raced across the Mississippi in canoes, rafts and rowboats to stake their claim!
Kicking off the entire celebratory weekend is “The
Captain’s Ball” hosted by
the National Rivers Hall
of Fame! This is a red carpet, black tie optional dinner and celebration on the
banks of the Mississippi River,
in the Port of Dubuque!
Be a part of history…bring your families…join your neighbors and friends as
our community celebrates Dubuque, 175
years young!
Keep Your Suitcase Packed was recorded in two week-long sessions
earlier this year at Aaron Youngberg’s
Swingfingers Studio in Fort Collins,
Colorado. The CD is released under
the moniker of the new group, Finders
and Youngberg. Just to clarify things,
the group’s new web site, www.findersandyoungberg.com, opens with the
disclaimer “It’s not a Law Firm.”
The two couples met in 2005 at a show
in Chicago. On tour with their band,
tion, the move and the new record,
saying, “it’s our best work yet, I think.”
With a number of strong releases already under Finders banner, that’s not
an unimportant point. In any case,
fans of Mike and Amy should catch
them at the Isabella’s show while they
have the chance. While they will be
back to the area on tour, the duo will
play one more show for the Iowa City
Arts Festival on Friday, June 6, and
then it’s off for the mountains. Mike
and Amy, we’ll miss you.

Shame Train
“Splendor” CD Release
Friday, May 30, 180 Main
Iowa City singer songwriter returns to
180 Main with his latest incarnation
of his band Shame Train to celebrate
the release of his latest CD Splendor,
Friday, May 30. Those who have been
paying attention might remember
a Shame Train release for Splendor
last year in May, but Sam assures us
this is really the final version of the
album that has been a three-year
self-produced project. The new version has been re-mastered and adds
a new track to the previously
released version.
Some of the tracks on Splendor were recorded during sessions for the album to follow
Knutson’s critically acclaimed
breakthrough album Gone.
With new bass player Ryan
Bernemen, Knutson collabo-
rated on additional songwriting and
home studio recording. Shame Train
players from various incarnations of
the band past and current added additional parts at various points in the
record’s evolution – Wurlitzer organ,
trombones and baritone sax – making
the record sort of a Shame Train retrospective. The resulting recording displays an array of shades and textures
that are all held together by Knutson’s
songwriting and vocals. “I consider
Splendor the best band work yet covering a full range of line-ups,” said
Knutson of the album and the cast of
contributors, “and it feels like Gone
did – being like a story unto itself.”

Bargain Basement Books
by Bob Gelms
For 80 years or so almost all publishers have been dealing with authors and
selling books in the same way. It is the
advance against royalties contract that
publishers and authors agree on. The author gets money up front and then is paid
royalties for every book sold.
The publishers then prints up the book
and sends lots of copies to the bookseller
who piles the books on a table for you
to bump into when you enter the store.
The copies that don’t sell are returned
to the publisher for credit. The publisher
then tries to sell the returned copies in
a variety of ways that culminates with
my favorite part of the bookstores I frequent. It’s the bargain table where most
hardcover books don’t cost more than six
dollars. The appearance on the bargain
table almost always means the publisher
printed up too many copies and this is
their cash register of last resort. It can
also mean that the book didn’t capture
the imagination of the book buying public and didn’t sell. The bargain table is
how the publisher will try and recoup
their investment.
One of the publishing houses in New
York recently floated an idea that set out
a new way of selling books. It involves
the author and the publisher going into
business together. No advance, no royalty, and more than likely no remainders
to show up on the bargain table. The idea
is that the author gets a much bigger split
right away and this split includes all the
other rights that were formerly purchased
by the publishing house, TV, movie, paperback, electronic and merchandise
rights, and assigned back to the writer
with the lion’s share of the money staying with the publishing house. No more.
All these rights will be bundled together.
This is probably better for the author. It
might not be better for the reader. Under
this new system books will be printed
as needed which will mean the end of
overprinting and, therefore, the end of
the bargain table. It, at this point, also
looks like the new system will result in
higher book prices. I bet that comes as a
big surprise!
So, it was with a sense of pre-nostalgia,
that I visited the bargain table at a local
bookstore and I was not disappointed. I
found three books that I was interested in
reading when they were first published
but for whatever reason I didn’t get them
at the time. I bought all three for what it
would have cost to purchase one of them
18 months ago.
The subtitle to Howard Bryant’s book
Juicing the Game says it all: “Drugs,
Power, and the Fight for the Soul of Major
League Baseball.” Steroids are the hottest
of the hot buttons in baseball. After the
ruinous strike in 1994 when the game of
baseball managed to shoot itself in both
feet, both arms and right between the
eyes, it needed something to put it back
on track because it looked like the fans
might abandon the game. The fans had
discovered basketball. Baseball’s answer
was the ball and steroids.
The ball was wound tighter so when you
hit it, it went a lot further. This, coupled
with the blind eye Bud Selig, the commissioner of baseball, turned to the rampant use of steroids, resulted in the ball
being regularly hit 500 feet right out of
every park in both leagues, home runs
by the syringe-full. It resulted in the infamous home run derby between Mark
McGwire and Sammy Sosa and almost
certainly resulted in the astounding numbers put up by one of the most unlikable
men in any sport, Barry Bonds. This book
is a spellbinding account of an issue that
is eating baseball from the inside out.
$5.98.
The year was 1967 and in the world of
medicine there was only one organ in
the human body that was sacrosanct, untouchable, revered as the seat of whatever it is that makes us human, the heart.
Donald McRae’s Every Second Counts:
The Race to Transplant the First Human
Heart is the strange and convoluted, story
of how that happened. Most of this story
is not known to the general public. We
only remember the name of the surgeon
who did it first, Dr. Christian Bernard of
South Africa. He might have been nothing more than supremely lucky while
the three guys who did all the heavy lifting were back in America stunned that
Bernard snuck in under the radar. As the
Brits say, “this is a
ripping good yarn”
and it’s all true.
$5.99.
In 1972, immediately before, during, and just after
Bobby Fischer demolished Boris Spassky
to become the only American world
chess champion, I was a chess geek.
I’m better now, thanks for asking. It was
during this time that I learned about the
Chess Machine. It is a true story about
a mechanical device invented in 1770
in Vienna. The machine and its inventor
took on all comers. The machine was undefeated against the best players of the
day. So, it was like a lightning bolt thrown
by fate when I saw on the bargain table
Robert Lohr’s book The Chess Machine.
It is based on the true story but there is
much more to this account with murder,
misdirection and mysticism weaving a
tale that is (I’m not sure if this is a real
word) unputdownable. $5.99.
Happy hunting and remember, you don’t
need a lot of money.

Letter to My Godson
- Be a hero!
Heroism is the quality of using strength to
overcome obstacles toward a noble goal.
It’s often associated with the feats of heroes like Superman or Wonder Woman.
These heroes go on great, dangerous adventures to right wrongs and make the
world a better place. Any noble accomplishment in life will be full of danger,
risk and uncertainty. Heroes don’t always
stop bad criminals or save the world from
destruction, but they do overcome danger, risk and uncertainty. This list will help
you live in heroic fashion.
• Be yourself. Every person
has unique talents and the
ability to develop them.
Unfortunately, many people never discover, or fail
to develop, their talents.
You should work harder on
developing yourself than
you do on anything else.
Identify your uniqueness,
use it to serve others and
the world will make a place for you.
• Improve yourself. Be in a continued
state of self improvement. Make it your
mission to be the best you can. Improve yourself like your life depends
on it, because it does. Self improvement allows you to be a better friend,
spouse, parent and business person.
• Choose your attitude. Understanding
that you have the power to choose your
attitude is essential. Your attitude determines your thoughts and what you think
about today is the foundation that builds
the events you will experience tomorrow.
Attitude is the critical factor in your suc-
cess. Your attitude will determine your
level of success far more than the skills
and training you will ever received.
• Listen and Learn. Always be ready to
find wisdom in what other people say,
and try very hard to absorb it. Almost
everyone you meet will have some interesting know-how or expertise. Go
through life attempting to learn those
unique qualities in the people you
meet. Assume that the average person
you meet has much to teach you, and
be ready to drink it in.
• Expect good things. The world is full
of strange and wonderful people. You’ll
find they all think they’re
well-meaning and good.
There is good and bad in
most people, but if you treat
everyone as if he’s a good
person; you’ll tend to bring
out the good. Conversely, if
you treat people like they’re
bad, not only will they
clash with you but you’ll
help them to become bad.
People become exactly
what you expect of them.
• Take action. There are three types of
people in this world; those who make
things happen, those who watch things
happen, and those who say “what
just happened. Take action to make
things happen.
Your journey will be full of danger, risk
and uncertainty. You may very well
end of fighting for freedom, righting
the wrongs, and saving the world from
destruction like Spiderman, or perhaps
you will help others achieve greatness
by being a wonderful person and loyal
friend. In the end, if you approach life in
a heroic fashion you will be successful.
1% Mattitude Improvement Tip
Outline Your Phone Call
Outline what you intend to talk about
in your call. Outline a phone call just
as you would a speech. I recommend
having a purpose to the call and no more
than three bullets to cover. For example,
when calling to set up an appointment,
my purpose would be to set the
appointment, my bullet points might be:
why it is important, time, and location.
Using an outline keeps you from rambling
and from having to call again to cover a
point you forgot to mention. A simple
phone outline gives you the confidence
you need to communicate clearly and
concisely over the phone.

Life Stiles
Father, I Have Sinned...
by Jeff Stiles
Okay, confession time, and from a Protestant
at that! Drum roll please . . . before moving
to the river city of Dubuque in 1987, I had
never before heard of a “bluff.”
(Okay, so that might be a white lie in itself, since a bluff is widely known as an
“untruth” in poker vernacular. But since
I never really even played poker until last
year, I guess that doesn’t really count.)
Honestly, though, after growing up in the
foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in
southwest Virginia—where, incidentally,
I recently made an offer on 11.5 acres of
land for an eventual retirement home—I
seriously didn’t think much of the socalled “cliffs” along the Mississippi River
when I first moved to the tri-states in the
late 1980s. I admit, it was pretty cool to
ride up and down the world’s shortestand-steepest Fourth Street Elevator with
my girlfriend Kari during my college years,
but other than that I was honestly not overly impressed with Dubuque’s inclines.
In fact, when the driver of the car in front
of mine at the base of 3rd Street and Bluff
backed into my brand-new, shiny Mazda
636 GT Turbo sports car two months after I arrived as a student in the tri-state
region, I was even less impressed with
the geography of our fair city.
often-controversial proposals for largescale residential developments along our
bluffs, and like or not I’ve often been surrounded by “heated discussions” (for lack
of a better term) about the ownership and
development of our city’s bluff-lines.
And I’m sure those debates and discussions will continue in the future, as long
as the bluffs exist and people wish you
catch the views from their edges.
•••
Of course, I’ve also been learning even
more about “bluffing” in 2008 through
the game of poker, with the assistance
of the games available at Buffalo Wild
Wings and online at FullTiltPoker.net.
In fact, the longer I live—and the longer
I play cards on the internet—the more I
realize that life is like a poker game. It’s
true, you gotta know when to fold them,
know when to hold them, know when
to walk away and know when to run.
Thinking back, if I applied those same
poker principles to a number of relationships and/or jobs, I might be much further ahead than I find myself/have today.

Upcoming Shalom Events
As always, Shalom Retreat Center never
has any shortage of educational and
spiritually inspirational programs, and
there are a number coming up in the
next few weeks that you should keep an
eye out for.
The first is a Laughter Yoga
session on Tuesday, June
3, from 7 - 8 p.m. This is a
great opportunity to experience the rapidly growing
healing art of Laughter Yoga, which is
designed for those of all backgrounds

modern research into the benefits of
laughter, Laughter Yoga is known to improve mental attitude, the
immune system and selfesteem, as well as stress
reduction and lower blood
pressure. The requested offering is $10, and you must
register by June 2.
On Wednesday, June 4, Shalom will
host a summer breakfast, To Hold a
Miracle, beginning with a program at 7
a.m. and followed by Mass at 8:15 a.m.
Anyway, those thoughts might be good
for a future column . . . or maybe a
lengthy book?
One day this past winter my stepson Skyler spent an entire afternoon shoveling
the sidewalks of our north-end Dubuque
home. When his mom got home from work
we wondered where he was and, looking
out the window, observed him shoveling
the driveway of a neighbor’s house.
“Wow, that’s so cool,” I told Mindy. “He’s
helping out Dorothy!”
Skyler was back at our house within a
couple hours, shivering but not complaining. “That was really nice of you,” I
told Skyler, and as a reward took him to
Buffalo Wild Wings for tasty wings and a
few rounds of poker.
But after two decades of living, breathing, working and discovering beer here
(yes, I was 29 years old and at the Silver
Dollar Cantina, as long as it’s confession
time), I’ve come to appreciate—and even
admire—the steep geographic drops that
separate downtown Dubuque from the
hilltops and west end of our city.
Of course, another motivator to learning
about “bluffs” has been my long-term
membership on the City of Dubuque
Zoning Advisory Commission. The past
few years have featured a number of
He’s still learning about keeping a “poker face” when he has a high pocket pair,
not engaging in “table talk” that gives his
opponents an advantage, and realizing
that any cards in the pocket can be big
winners after “the flop.”
And I’m still constantly reminding Skyler that poker is only a game. Although,
if I could somehow cash in the 407,000
poker chips I’ve won on FullTiltPoker.net
since this past February, I suppose I could
go ahead and retire back to that land Mindy and I would like to buy in Virginia.

Eat more meals at home
Home-prepared meals will add up to big
savings. Use leftover ingredients in another recipe (cook once, serve twice) or
eat the leftovers for lunch the next day
– which saves time and money.
Are you looking for ways to make the most
of your food dollar? There are many easy
ways to stay within your food budget when
grocery shopping. What’s surprising is you
don’t have to sacrifice nutrition to stay within your budget. Whole foods that are less
processed, such as fruits, vegetables, grains,
beans, meat and low-fat and fat-free dairy,
are typically the better bargain when it
comes to cost and nutrition. You pay more
for convenience, so take time to plan and
prepare meals to help you save money.
Choose store brands
Private-label store-brand products will
save an average of 15 to 25 % over the
national name brand - and the quality of
food is comparable to the national brand.
Many supermarkets monitor the quality of store brands to assure that quality
matches the national brand.
Seasonal fresh produce
Fresh fruits and vegetables in season will
be at their peak in flavor and are economical buys. Summer is an ideal time
to find an abundance of fresh fruits and
vegetables to fit any budget.
Use weekly ad specials
Plan meals and make a grocery list based on
weekly ad specials. Stock up on sale items
you purchase on a regular basis. Become a
comparison shopper to get the best bargain.
Buy bulk
Look for ways to purchase food in larger
quantities and sizes, and portion it into
single-serve plastic bags and containers.

• 10-Minute Rule. Whether you bake,
broil or grill, cook seafood 10 minutes
for every inch of its thickness.
• Opaque and Flakes. Reliable tests to determine when seafood is cooked and ready
to eat are that the seafood will turn opaque
and will “flake” when a knife or fork is
gently inserted and slightly twisted into the
thickest part of the fish. When in doubt, a
food thermometer should read 145° F.
• Simple Seasonings. Less is more when
it comes to seasonings. Keep seasonings
simple and use dill, parsley, chives, garlic or fresh-cracked black pepper. A light
drizzle of butter or splash of white wine,
lemon or lime juice will complement the
seafood without overpowering it.
Enjoy grilling seafood this time of year. Below
is a family-favorite grilled salmon recipe.
Fishing For a Fast Meal?
When it comes to preparing an easy meal
in minutes, seafood is probably not the
first thing that comes to mind, especially
for those of us who live in the Midwest.
But seafood tops the list for a meal you
can get on the table in minutes. That’s because most seafood takes minimal prep
time and ingredients and depending on
its size, can easily cook in 15 minutes.
We all know how good seafood is for us.
It’s a great source of lean protein. Fatty fish
such as salmon, tuna, herring, mackerel
and trout are rich in two kinds of omega-3
fatty acids. The American Heart Association
recommends eating fatty fish at least twice
each week because of the health benefits
to the heart including decreased risk of arrhythmias which can lead to sudden death,
decreased triglyceride levels and perhaps
a slightly lower blood pressure. There are
also many studies looking at benefits of
omega-3 fats for brain and joint health.
Many people are concerned about toxins
from eating seafood. A recent study in the
Journal of American Medical Association
reported the health benefits of eating seafood far outweigh any potential risk.
Not quite sure how to cook seafood?
Here are basic guidelines for cooking
seafood to perfection.
RECIPE
Pre-packaged fruit costs twice as much as
purchasing a can of fruit and portioning

Dubuque indie band Daylight Savings
Account celebrates the release of their
new EP with a performance at the Voices

group avoids channeling any one
genre as young bands sometimes do,
instead integrating their various influences into a layered, complex sound
that is their own.
Daylight Savings Account consists of Adam
Hartig (vocals, keys, guitar), David Pauly
(lead guitar), Adam Zeimet (drums and
percussion) and Jesse Luke (bass & cello).
Hartig and Pauly were next-door neighbors
growing up and have been longtime friends
and musical collaborators, writing original
material and playing in a four-piece band,
Acouasm, that eventually disbanded as people graduated from school and moved on.
Having known Jesse Luke since high school,
Pauly contacted the music performance major, who was at the time finishing a degree
in cello performance. Luke knew of a drummer, Adam Zeimet, a recent graduate from
Clarke with a Music Performance degree in
percussion and the band that became Daylight Savings Account was formed.
With a back catalog of original material,
the band quickly set about recording an
EP. Pauly was familiar with Dubuque
musician and inventor Hans Becker, who
agreed to record the band in his home studio, HBS Studios. Pauly mixed the tracks
on his laptop. The resulting recording,
EP Phone Home, displays the band’s talents as musicians, songwriters, arrangers
and producers. Daylight Savings Account
draws on a variety of influences from classic hard rock, prog-rock, and psychedelia
to more modern strains of indie rock. The
Daylight Savings Account will be
joined by local original band BlackBloom, which has been building a name
for itself in the area with its fresh take
on the jam band style, as well as Cedar
Falls power trio 3 Lbs. Of Love, which
explores the territory at the crossroads of
rock, blues, funk and psychedelia.
Above: BlackBloom,
Right: 3 Lbs. of Love
As an art exhibit,
the CD release
event will feature
the paintings of
Carey
Welch,
whose artwork is featured on Daylight Savings Account’s CD cover. Welch reports in
her bio for the show, “I grew up in Dubuque
and at the age of two wore a tu tu and carried a crayon for an entire year. At three I
gave up the tu tu, but kept the crayon and
was given obscene amounts of drawing paper on which to master the stick figure.”
After a period of time where
she could not produce art, she
began to paint canvases black,
adding bursts of color that reminded her of the freedom
she felt in painting as a child.
Inspired by the Picasso quote,
“‘Every Child is an artist -- the
problem is how to remain an
artist once he grows up,” she
began painting in a new direction. “Monsters, dinosaurs,
animals, E.T, oh no houses,
Pac-Man, aliens, mermaids,
and absolutely imaginary
creatures began to populate the work along with the
dark outlines reminiscent of
the coloring book,” she explains. “The subject matter
is a juxtaposition of myths,
imagination, dreams, technology, hardships, love, the
mundane and chaos.”
The exhibit will also feature the photography of Karina Schroeder, and the multimedia work of Clarke College student
Ivonne Simmonds. Schroeder, who is now
studying at the University of Iowa, says of
her photography, “My artwork focuses particularly on architecture and simple, singular objects that I thought illustrated the
character and aesthetic of the downtown
Dubuque I wanted to capture.” Simmonds, who has
been creating works of art
since childhood, uses vibrant colors and multimedia “to evoke and express
a vast array of feelings to
her viewers.” Her creations are influenced by
political unrest and terrorism in her native country
of Colombia, experiences
in her everyday life, and
the beauty she sees in the
world around her.

is located on the second floor

Dr. Skrap’s completely useless
Dear Trixie:
I am 10 and live in Epworth. I think my parents are being really mean to me. If I don’t
do what they say I get locked in the closet
for an hour. If I turn on the light or kick the door it’s another hour. None of my friends’ parents lock them in closets. They have
Time Out in a corner or in their bedrooms. Could this be considered
child abuse? What’s wrong with my parents?
--Jason J.
Dear Jason:
Isolation from others for long periods of time is a good way for children to learn to be more creative. Imagination is a necessary part of
human development and your parents are just trying to make you a
better person. My parents locked me in the basement for days at a
time and I turned out fine. Why not use this time to develop new coping mechanisms? You can never have too many imaginary friends!
Dear Trixie:
I am 52 and would like to meet a man my age with a good job,
tight buns and no bad habits. -Denise From Dubuque
Dear Denise:
So would I.
Dear Trixie:
I am a red-blooded man who has had two marriages and two
divorces. All I want is a woman who will clean the house and
wash the dishes and clothes and keep her fat mouth shut. It is alot
harder to find one than I thought. Trixie, where can I find a good
old gal like that?
--Rusty on Rhomberg
Dear Rusty:
I’d try the Internet. Maybe the Taliban have some for sale.
Dear Trixie:
I have always wanted to have my family history traced but I can’t
afford a lot of money to do it. Any suggestions?
--Ed on South Grandview
Dear Ed:
Yes, run for public office.
Dear Trixie:
My loser brother-in-law has a birthday coming up and my sister
says we all have to get him something even if we dislike him personally. He has so many drunk driving convictions and drug busts
that fine wine or a cash gift is not a good idea. It’s important that
my present won’t be used to further his poor choices. Any ideas?
--No Names Please
Dear No NamesPlease:
Do bail bondsmen offer gift certificates? I’d call and check. If they
don’t -- they should.
HOROSCOPES
ARIES It is entirely possible that you will go insane while
planning a wedding. Not from all the details, but from just
one. Exactly what color is cranberry anyway? If the flowers
don’t match the runners, someone will die!
TAURUS Putting your right hand in, out, putting it back in
and shaking it all about is pretty good for the Hokey Pokey.
However, it’s probably not the best idea for figuring out
why the wood chipper has stalled.

Crossword
GEMINI Only 15 percent of victims survive after receiving CPR. Remember that the next time you go into cardiac
arrest and someone shouts, “Don’t worry! I watch Grey’s
Anatomy!” Where’s your McDreamy now?
CANCER You will be riding high and mightyduring a weeklong period. If you have to suck in your stomach to see the
numbers on the scale, however ... that’s a little too mighty.
LEO The skies are aligning for you and things are going to
move smoothly for the next several weeks. Unfortunately, the Check Engine Light you’ve been ignoring for eight
months is now going to result in a $3,000 repair. So much
for your economic stimulus check.
VIRGO Proficiency with a meat smoker is the mark of a
true man. Mastery of a smoker is the mark of a minor deity.
Forget meats like pork and beef. It’s time to set your sights
for the big time: Smoked Macaroni & Cheese.

LIBRA The planets are no longer in your favor. Had you
been born in earlier times, you could have been the person
to sell long-distance service to Alexander Graham Bell. Instead ... you’re not. Frown, for this is a sad day.
SCORPIO Never forget that when in tight spots, when
pinching pennies and cutting corners, a hefty bag of CheetOs never fails to serve as an acceptable replacement for
any ... or all ... of the five major food groups.
SAGITTARIUS Crush the spirits of all new hires in your
workplace. When you are asked about a newcomer’s performance, respond that the new hire isn’t so much of a hasbeen but more of a definitely won’t-be. Might want to wear
body armor to work, though.
CAPRICORN You need to stop striving to always reach the
pinnacle of your life. Don’t have any more delusions of
grandeur. Start off with delusions of adequacy, and move
on from there.
AQUARIUS It’s been almost twenty years. The time has
passed. Quoting the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is no longer
passé. It’s awesome. So the next time you’re bidding farewell to a co-worker, tell him that you’ll “smell him later.”
For awesome’s sake.
PISCES Accomplishing the heretofore unthinkable -- goldstarring every song in every incarnation of Guitar Hero -means only one thing. It’s time to stop doing hammer-ons
and pull-offs on a plastic guitar, and for God’s sake, get
outside, man.

Did you hear?
Well, it’s official. This month marks my ten-year
anniversary of residency in the Tri-States; my, how the
time has flown. Having moved back to the area from
a different city, I think I can safely say I’ve finally made
the adjustment from big town to small town living. And
while a slower pace and friendly faces are the hallmarks
of this tranquil municipality, for a girl who is arguably
more comfortable walking within the shadows of tall
buildings, life in this big-small town has left me feeling,
well, curious. (This perspective should be prefaced
by the fact that I grew up on a farm and yes, that
experience, too, was often peculiar). I like to think that
these interesting experiences have aided in expanding
my horizons, however, there is one tendency which has
escaped my view, until now.
We’ve all heard of seven degrees of separation, but
I’m beginning to wonder if everything in Dubuque is
separated by zero degrees. (Psst. I think everyone knows
everyone!) In my naiveté and after several encounters
which can only be described as awkward, I think I
finally understand that yes, just like in the country,
everyone does know everyone else. Not only do they
know you, they know your family, and which relatives
are crazy…because of course we all have at least one.
This link has been painstakingly revealed through a
myriad of examples which I have promptly ignored and
chalked up to coincidence. No, I’m not talking about
the crazy relatives.
Since I didn’t grow up in Dubuque, nor do I have any
immediate relatives here, I assumed nobody knew who
I was or bothered to care. In fact, I kind of liked it
that way; room to breathe, so to speak. So, I’ve just
gone about my business with blinders on not realizing
that my life was being interwoven into the local fabric.
Yet it came as a surprise when a recent professional
conversation turned into an inquisition about someone
I know. Admittedly I was initially annoyed, after all,
I believe my life is an island, but then I realized that
the very nature of this association connected me to the
larger gang, good and bad.
So, no longer am I able to enjoy the blissful, yet naïve
anonymity I mistakenly thought I possessed. Naturally,
I’ve learned to just get over myself and realize that no
matter how mundane, my local affiliations do not go
unnoticed. Yes, surrendering my cloak of invisibility
kind of stinks…Of course having a column with my
picture smeared across the page doesn’t help either. I
guess the jig is up. I’m glad I finally clued in.
365INK: BURDENING THE COMMUNITY WITH MORE EVENTS

MAY 29 - JUNE 11
Park Farm Winery
Continued from page 4
members – where guests can taste some
of the winery’s top line of reserve wines.
(Becoming a Case Club member, which
not only earns you access to the reserve
room but discounts and other perks,
is as simple as filling out a form at the
winery and purchasing a minimum of at
least one case of wine a year.)
Like wine maturing in a barrel, it seems
the winery itself is a work in progress. In
addition to completion of the tower, the
Cushman’s have other plans. Coming up
in August, the event room will
host wine and food pairing
dinners to introduce people to
some of those magical combinations that occur when a dish
finds its complementary wine.
“One of the great draws of
wine is that when paired properly, it’s a great complement to
a meal,” notes Dave.
Outside, future plans include an outdoor bar on the south side of the building to better serve the expanded deck
and patio. It should prove to be a great
addition to the space for receptions,
parties, and live music events. Speaking of which, through the summer and
into autumn, Park Farm is hosting live
music on the patio every first and third
Sunday, from 5 to 8 p.m. (See the accompanying schedule for dates and
performers.) Admission is just $5, and
includes five tickets redeemable for
five wine samples or one full glass of
wine. While I have not yet made it out
for any of the live music
events yet, I can imagine
the relaxed peaceful setting of the winery to be a
special venue to experience live music. And the
west deck can offer some
pretty amazing sunsets
over the valley.
Also on the horizon is the
2008 Grape Stomp, scheduled for August 30. From 2
to 4 p.m. Park Farm will host
grape stomping competitions, with categories for kids
and couples, among others,
and from 4 to 6 p.m. guests
can stomp their purple feet
to the live music of Bob Dorr
and The Blue Band.
But unfortunately, our tour
has come to an end and our
work at 365 does not allow
us to sit around sipping wine
all day. So we pack up the
camera, jump back in the
car and enjoy a very relaxing drive down Asbury Road
back to Dubuque.
