As we argue online and in City Council
Chambers about first world problems like
whether or not you can take your dog
or your sled into a public park, I have to
shake my head a bit. I guess we’re lucky
not to have bigger problems to worry
about… I guess? I think they solved the
sled thing. I’m not sure why the dog thing
is such an issue. Are so many kids getting
mauled in parks that we need to eliminate
all dogs? Is it that some people don’t pick
up the s#!t, literally? Honestly, I don’t
know, I’m just wondering out loud because
it makes very little common sense to me.
I think we should ban people from
parks. In all the years I’ve gone to parks
I can think of a handful of times that I’ve
encountered colossal ass-hats ruining
parks: drunk, littering, speeding through
in cars, and damaging property. But I have
yet to meet a dog I thought was going
to go for my jugular. I’m not saying it’s
not possible, it just seems so far from a
“real” problem that banning dogs from all
parks looks like a massive overreaction.
The word is that Dubuque is
supposed to be some kind of beacon
for sustainability in America. I think we
have plaques somewhere. Maybe a sash
and crown. I don’t know. I wasn’t at the
christening. But I see efforts to remove
Roundup, Glyphosate, 2,4-D and other
chemicals from public spaces getting
stonewalled. These are chemicals that
are known human developmental toxins,
hormone disruptors, and cancer-causing
chemicals. I fully understand that it might
be hard to completely remove them. It will
certainly make things more difficult for the
city services who have to control weeds
and pests if they don’t use fast and easy
chemicals to keep these things in check,
but there must be a happy medium.
Can we not at least get pesticides out
of tot lot areas ASAP? Or pick a few parks
and make those tot-lot areas free-zones
from these proven health problems?
Why does it even need to go to meetings
and worked into a phased approach?
Can’t we just start this park season
immediately with a few parks and just
not start spraying at all there? If people
are really worried about the chemicals,
maybe they can get signs made that
say. “Hey, this park is not as weed-free
as the other park, but it also won’t make
your kids sick or give you cancer.”
Yeah, I know. I’m not being very
politically correct about it and there
are surely things to consider that I’m
not talking about, but sometimes it’s
infuriating how people, especially
government, can so adeptly drag their
feet to stay the hand of progress.
Dubuque365.com
I see there’s a petition on Change.org
with a few hundred signatures called
“DBQ Poison Free Parks”. It is calling for
these changes. I don’t know how much
of it is feasible, but some of it surely
seems easy enough to implement without
too much butthurt being involved.
They want Round-Up gone. That’s
pretty much a good idea anywhere. They
especially want clean tot plays zones. I
guess since pregnant moms and kids are
more susceptible to the long-term effects
of these agents, that also makes sense.
They want spraying plans posted online
so people know when to avoid certain
parks. Makes sense to me. And they
want an integrated pest management
program developed. Probably the most
work of the three, but surely doable. I
don’t see anywhere that it’s calling for
eliminating all pesticides or herbicides.
Just the really nasty ones. Probably the
most effective ones, but think about
it. If something is going to do a super
great job of killing the living hell out of
every bug in a park, do you really think
you’re going to be immune from the
effects of that stuff? Especially if you’re
say, 5 years old and the idea of rolling
in the grass is still appealing to you.
I don’t know what it costs but I am
told Cedar Falls saved thousands of
dollars when they made similar changes.
I don’t know how much more work it is.
So go ahead and point fingers at me and
tell me I’m just stirring things up without
knowing what I’m talking about. I guess I
just fit right into the conversation. It just
seems like getting a little bit of this done
right now, before blooming things bloom,
is a really doable thing. And maybe even
another feather in our sustainability
cap. Without doing anything, I don’t
know how we can really strut around
with our sustainability sash and crown
on and not look like total hypocrites.
Choosing, as a community, to be a
sustainable community was not a lazy
choice we made. It was choosing the
road less traveled. Things are harder.
Things take more time. But you see
the benefits in the payoff at the end.
Are we waffling now on that pledge?
And if we’re not, what’s taking so long?
Is this rocket science. No, it’s climate
science, which as we all know, is basically
voodoo. Note I didn’t even mention
global climate change or nothin’ until
now. This particular fight really isn’t
about that. And besides, with only 97%
of climate change research supporting
the climate change theory, the verdict
is still clearly out on that one.
Ugh. Why even try? n

Kohl
Crecelius Lecture
Employment and Empowerment for those In Need
Sunday, March 13 @ 1 PM
Clarke University Robert and Ruth Kehl Center (1550 Clarke Dr)
Kohl Crecelius is the CEO of Krochet
Kids, Intl., a non-profit company that
sells hats and other goods in Peru
and Uganda. Based out of California,
KKi employs more than 100 people in
northern Uganda and have recently
started a new program in Peru. Now
spanning three continents, their work
connects the producer with the customer
through a hand-signed label that
accompanies every product. His mission
has always been to create business
while also doing good in the world.
Crecelius’ older brother taught him
how to crochet in high school, and
soon, he began teaching his friends
to make hats. Dubbed the “Krochet
4 Events 365ink Magazine March 10–March 23, 2016 Issue #260
Kids” by their local newspaper in
Spokane, Wash., he and two friends
began selling hats in their hometown
for a little spending money.
Inspired by one friend’s summer
trip to Uganda during college, the
trio decided to teach the simple skill
of crocheting to displaced Ugandan
women. Today, through this simple skill,
the women can provide for their families,
and ultimately, through micro-financing
opportunities enabled by KKi, they
can gain economic independence.

Events Rais
Bhuiyan Lecture
The Courage to Forgive
Monday, March 21 @ 7 PM
University of Dubuque Heritage Center (2255 Bennett St)
Rais Bhuiyan founded World
Without Hate, a campaign dedicated
to promoting cross-cultural empathy,
after a life-altering incident that left him
blind in one eye. A Bangladesh native,
Bhuiyan was shot in the face by a white
supremacist while working in a Dallas
convenience store weeks after the
Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. The shooter,
Mark Stroman, claimed the shooting
spree that killed two immigrants from
South Asia and injured Bhuiyan was
in retaliation for the terrorist attacks.
Stroman was sentenced to death.
While some might have responded
with hate and anger, Bhuiyan chose
compassion and mounted a campaign
to have his assailant’s death sentence
be commuted to life imprisonment.
Bhuiyan worked tirelessly to save
Stroman’s life with pleas for clemency
that in 2011 reached the U.S. Supreme
Court. Though Stroman was executed
in July 2011, Bhuiyan continues World
Without Hate to promote healing,
compassion, and forgiveness.
Bhuiyan’s experience is featured
in “The True American: Murder
and Mercy in Texas,” by Anand
Giridharadas. Academy Award winner
Kathryn Bigelow plans to direct a
film based on Bhuiyan’s story.
Bhuiyan has received numerous
accolades for his work with World
Without Hate, including 2011
American of the Year from Esquire
Magazine, a designation shared
with others such as Apple founder
Steve Jobs; and the Excellence for
Human Service Award from United
for Change, an American nonprofit
dedicated to increasing awareness
and understanding of Muslim issues.
Complimentary tickets may be
obtained through the Farber Box Office
Monday through Friday 10 a.m.–5:30
p.m.; by phone at 563-585-SHOW; or

The Dubuque Citywide All-School
Student Art Exhibition is part of an annual
collaboration with Dubuque Community
and Holy Family Schools. This year’s
two-part exhibition features artworks by
students in Kindergarten through eighth
grades, on view now through March 31.
An exhibition of artworks by students in
grades 9–12 will be on view April 1–17.
The exhibition gives young artists and
their families an opportunity to see their
artworks hung in the same building
as timeless works by Grant Wood,
Edward S. Curtis and many others.
Powered By:
“The Dubuque Museum of Art is
committed to highlighting the
importance of arts education in our
schools and community,” said David
Schmitz, executive director of DuMA.
“While it is crucial for students to
have early exposure to the arts, it is
just as important for young people
to see that creativity and artistic
expression are valued by their teachers
and mentors, family members and
their community, in order to sustain
that enthusiasm for the arts.”
Admission is free during March
and April for educators, students
and family members visiting the
exhibitions. The receptions are
free and open to the public.

Outside the Lines Art Gallery hosts a
reception to kick off an exhibit featuring
Adam Eikamp and Richard Hess. The
artist’s reception is free and open to
the public. It is a time honored tradition
offering customers the opportunity to
meet the artist and be among the first
to purchase an artist’s newest work.
Dubuque artist Adam Eikamp believes
in the importance of making art that
conveys a “story”. His simple, bold
oil on panel paintings in this show
asks questions, offes reminders and
proposes cynical twists on the ordinary.
Ceramicist Richard Hess will be
showing hand-built, non-functional
sculpture including stylized horses and
architectural forms. A recent transplant
to Galena, Illinois, he is finding new
inspiration in the beauty of the area.
Outside the Lines Art Gallery is
located at 409 Bluff Street in historic
Cable Car Square, and at 101 S.Main
St. in downtown Galena, Illinois.
Both galleries feature the fine art
and high craft of local, near-regional,
and national artists, including
sculpture, ceramics, and jewelry.

Bentzinger from Iowa City, and Jenny
Weber, a Minneapolis artists with Iowa
roots. Mikulice’s intricate line drawings
are simultaneously dense and precise
and subtle and meditative, revealing
detailed interior systems. Bentzinger
combines the cinematic grittiness of the
graphic novel with vibrant watercolor
textures to tell tales of the inhabitants
of a post-apocalyptic landscape. Weber
explores the secret lives inside everyday
objects through her cups, bowls, and
other three-dimensional pieces. The
artists’ works are united by their use
of unconventional methods to conjure
uncharted worlds and unlikely heroes.

ever on creatives and their Dubuque

Smokestack, Dubuque’s most unique

well as the former owners of Eronel,

Over the last 20 years, Community
Supported Agriculture has become
a popular way for consumers to buy
seasonal food directly from local
farms. With the same “buy local”
spirit in mind, Dubuque Community
Supported Art (CSA) is a similar
endeavor to support local art, artists
and collectors. This project is modeled
on Community Supported Art in
Minnesota, created by mnartists.org
and Springboard for the Arts.
The inaugural CSA season features
musician Robert Bucko Jr from
Dubuque, sculptor Keva Fawkes from
Iowa City, and painter Mary Swanson
from Cedar Rapids. Each artist will
create 25 “shares”. Featured work
can consist of a limited edition of a
vinyl 7” screen printed music record,
multimedia storytelling paintings,
unique vernacular architectural inspired
planters, and more. In addition to the
three featured artists works, there
will be a “bumper crop” of additional
artwork and arts opportunities included.
16 Arts 365ink Magazine March 10–March 23, 2016 Issue #260
You can purchase a share of locally
and regionally produced artwork
for only $200 for one “farm box”
now at the Dubuque Museum of Art
or Dubuque Area Arts Collective
(DAAC). Your box will be availabe at
a pick-up event in August at DAAC.
The goals of the CSA program are to
support artists and to create an engaged
community of local arts supporters. CSA
supports artists: in the creation of new
work, to establish relationships with local
collectors and patrons, and to participate
in the launch of an exciting new model of
art support and distribution. CSA Share
member benefits include multiple works
of art from local emerging and mid-career
artists at a fantastic value! Additionally,
CSA Members have the opportunity to
develop relationships with the local artists
and art community, discover new artists,
explore a variety of disciplines and support
artists’ careers and a vibrant community.

The Lonely Goats
8 PM @ The Cornerstone (Galena, IL)
We’ll admit it; the Lonely Goats don’t really
know any Irish or Celtic music. They do have
one sea shanty with kind of an Irish feel to it

make a party into a party and they’ll bring that
spirit to The Cornerstone for St. Patrick’s Day.
Bring your dancing shoes.

2008. The High Kings have sold out hundreds
of shows in Ireland and the U.S., including rave
reviews from their headlining spot in last year’s
Irish Hooley celebration in Dubuque. The High
Kings showcase their incredible versatility
and skills as multi-instrumentalists, playing 13
instruments between the four of them. They
also bring a rousing acoustic flavor to their new
songs as well as their old favorites. The album
“Friends for Life” captures the essence of the
ensemble’s energetic sound of ‘folk n roll’ and
even encourages the occasional sing-a-long.
The concert is sponsored by the Dubuque Irish
Hooley and Mad Gael Productions. The 2016 Irish
Hooley Music Festival lineup will be announced
at this show. Tickets are $25–$45 (plus fees) and
are availalable online at MoonBarRocks.com.

Elevation: Tribute to U2
5 & 8 PM @ Mystique Casino
While the Elevation concert at Mystique Casino
on Saturday, March 19 hasn’t necessarily been
described as a St. Patrick’s Day celebration,
Elevation is a U2 tribute act and U2 is an Irish
rock band so it probably qualifies.

9 PM @ Hammerheads
Hammerheads on Kerper Boulevard parties like
it’s Paddy’s with hard rock and metal masters
Menace. The band will undoubtedly be playing

David Zollo and The Body Electric
w/s/g MAMA
Along with a big batch of corned beef brisket
and vegetables (and of course GUINNESS), The
Lift brings you David Zollo and the Body
Electric! Zollo has made most of his living as a
bandleader, songwriter and performer, drawing
on influences ranging from honkey-tonk to rock
and roll. Mama, a rock n roll band from Chicago,
will open with a short set. The band sounds like
the best parts of punk rock and Thin Lizzy
combined to make a killer sound.
Aaron Williams and the Hoodoo
Aaron Williams and the Hoodoo are an
American blues/rock power trio, based in
Madison, WI. Led by Aaron Williams on guitar,
the band’s sound is likely best described by
“Ole Harv” of WVPE 88.1 (NPR) as “blues and
roll for the masses.” Aaron is joined in the band
by Eric Shackelford on drums and Z on bass.

Blues Assn called it “one of the finest releases
from the Great White North in many a year.”
Newport Jam

originally out of Wisconsin Dells, now located
in Madison, WI. With a unique sound and never
playing the same set twice, NPJ’s live show
breathes new life to classic album deep cuts

musicians from their “Newport Fam” roster.

funk-rock band. Their “Terrifying Funk from
Beyond the Grave” is sure to get you into them (and possibly vice
versa). Since their discovery (and without so much as a hot bath) the
Mummies has opened for P-Funk, Al Green, and Cheap Trick; rocked
Super Bowl Village 2012; and made themselves the darlings of
sell-out crowds over wide swaths of North America. Some say they
were cursed after deflowering a great Pharaoh’s daughter. Others
claim they are reincarnated Grammy-Winning studio musicians.
Regardless, HCTM’s mysterious personas, cunning song-craft, and
unrelenting live show will bend your brain, and melt your face.

The Singing/Songwriting
Ressler
Family
Thursday, March 24 @ 7–9 PM
Galena Center for the Arts (219 Summit St, Galena, IL)
The Ressler family, 10 children in
all, grew up singing around a piano
on a farm in Worthington, Iowa. Their
mother, Mary played the piano at home
and for local churches. After their move
to Epworth in the early sixties, the four
oldest girls, Karen, Monica, Linda and
Gladys , formed a folk group called
the Ressler Sisters adding guitar and
four part harmony and singing a few
original songs written by Karen. They
sang at many local events. Soon joined
by the next in line on stand-up bass
was their brother Randy...and so on
and so forth, each adding something
to the mix, a banjo, a harmonica, a
mandolin, another keyboard—creating
several different incarnations of groups,
adding and subtracting members
as life events changed and siblings
moved on to new experiences.
Still there were always one or
two of the siblings in some sort of
musical group, whether it be singing
around mom and her piano, playing
folk music around a camp fire, playing
and singing in a rock or country band
band, or performing in theatre musicals
or dramas. If there was a stage,
quite possibly a Ressler was on it.
Decades later and many different
bands of music under their belts
(The Wiz Kids, Mill Creek, The Blue
Willow Country Band, The Uninvited,
The Pez, Doctor X, The Lonely Goats,
Gladdy and The Tramps), the tradition
of playing, singing and writing songs
continues with several of the offspring
of the 10 original Ressler children.
Featured in this Galena show will
be songs written and performed by
a few of the Ressler’s who still live in
this area. Karen, and Gladys, Katie and
Brian and hopefully Jacquie (three of
the children of Gladys) maybe a song
or two from Amy, or Bob, or Teddy.
The family dedicates the show to the
memory of Randy, who they lost last
in March of 2015. The event will be
hosted by Lenny Wayne and L.A. Guess.
A $5 donation is appreciated. n

Columnists CHARLOTTE’S
COFFEE
HOUSE
by Rich Belmont
With new coffee shops popping up all over Dubuque you
might not have noticed Charlotte’s Coffee House at the
corner of 11th and White Streets. It has been in operation
for six months and already has a devoted following of
coffee aficionados.
Don Rusk and his wife,
Cheryl, are Dubuque
natives and the owners
of Charlotte’s Coffee
House. Don also owns
and operates Rusk Metal
Company in Epworth,
IA. He has been in
the metal business
for over 20 years. Cheryl recently retired from John
Deere Dubuque Works where she was employed for
39 years. Cheryl has always liked to bake and at work
she was affectionately known as the “cookie lady.”
the tables from old rafters removed from the buildings
during the renovation. He estimates the wood in these
tables is close to 200 years old.
So now you might be
thinking if this place is
owned by Cheryl how
come it’s called Charlotte’s
Coffee House? Well, it’s
because Cheryl named it
in remembrance of her
mom, Charlotte, who loved a good cup of coffee and
relished conversation with friends.
Don and Cheryl’s sons,
Tim (left) and Ben, are
also working in the
business. Tim is expected
to become a manager
when he graduates from
the University of Iowa
in May of this year.
Cheryl convinced her husband she was going to need
something to do after she retired. They decided a coffee
shop where she could continue to utilize her baking skills
would be a good idea. In the fall of 2012 they purchased
the two buildings at 1104 and 1118 White Street. They were
built between 1890 and 1900 and were in total disrepair.
Charlotte’s is first and foremost a coffee shop.
The coffee served here is from suppliers carefully
selected by Cheryl. Currently the suppliers are:
Don and Cheryl hired Jeff Schmidt and his son, Cody,
of Top Notch Construction in Dubuque to strip the
buildings to their bare walls and completely renovate
them. The remodeling even included connecting the
two buildings together. Cheryl was the architect and
interior designer and when you visit this attractive
space you can see she certainly has an eye for details.
Intelligentsia Coffee and Tea – This company was
established in 1995 and buys most of its beans directly
from growers in Central America, South America, East
Africa and Ethiopia. It is headquartered in Chicago and
uses gas-powered Ideal Rapid GotHot Roasters. These
machines date from the 1950’s and were handcrafted
from cast-iron and steel in Stuttgart, Germany.
This coffee house has beautiful hardwood floors, a
fireplace, lounge chairs, impressive wooden tables and
artwork available for sale from local artists. The elegant
hand carved wood paneling was done by family friend
and master woodcarver Jim Gassman. He also crafted
Up Roasters – This company is located in Minneapolis.
It selects the best available coffee beans by sample
roasting. Then the brew samples are evaluated by
coffee cupping. This is the practice of observing the
tastes and aromas of the brewed coffee. Then the
beans are roasted in small batches at the time orders
are placed by individual coffee houses. (Fun Fact:
Coffee cupping procedure involves deeply sniffing the
coffee, then loudly slurping it so it spreads to the back
of the tongue and then spitting it out into a spittoon!)
Verena Street Coffee Company – Was started In
Dubuque, IA in December 2010. The company
only buys Arabica beans that are grown at higher
altitudes and generally make a smoother, better
tasting coffee. The coffee beans are purchased
from Rainforest Alliance Certified Farms.
Obviously there is a list of coffee beverages to
choose from. Of course brewed coffee is always
28 Columnists 365ink Magazine March 10–March 23, 2016 Issue #260
available but the real fun is in trying the specialties.
Here are some you might not be familiar with:
Espresso (ehss-press-oh) – a strong, thick, syrupy coffee
made by forcing nearly boiling water under pressure
through tightly packed finely ground coffee beans.
Cappuccino (cap-poo-chee-no) – prepared with
espresso, hot milk and steamed milk foam. (Fun Fact: the
foam on top acts as an insulator and helps retain the
heat of the espresso allowing it to stay hotter longer.)
Breve (Breev) – espresso made with a steamed mixture
of half milk and half cream (in other words – half & half.)
Latte (laht-tay) – espresso and a lot a steamed milk. This
drink is typically made with one part espresso to three
parts milk.
Latte Macchiato (makkee-AH-toe) – this literally
means “stained milk”.
It differs from a latte in
that espresso is added to
milk but it features more
foam than milk and typically only a half shot of espresso
is used. (Fun Fact: in a latte the emphasis is on the milk
while in a latte macchiato the focus is on the coffee.)
Charlotte’s Coffee House is a great place to try some
trendy coffee drinks popular in big cities like Chicago, New
York, Los Angeles and San Francisco. A couple of these are:
The Pour Over – boiling water is poured over fresh ground
coffee that has been placed in a cone filter. The hot water
creates a coffee slurry mixture that slowly drains into a
mug. This is the cleanest and purest way to enjoy coffee.
Bullet Proof Coffee – this brew was developed and the
name trademarked in 2009 by David Asprey. He got the
idea after traveling to Tibet and tasting several yak-butter
tea drinks. Coffee is blended with coconut oil and organic
unsalted butter made from the milk of grass-fed cows. So
Charlotte’s gives you an opportunity to try a drink that
has been all the rage since being seen on Good Morning
America, Today, and The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.
Dubuque365.com
Columnists Charlotte’s Coffee House is more than just coffee. The
food is as delicious as it is unusual. There is a whole
assortment of items for every taste. These include
Toasts, Burritos, Waffles, Wraps, Paninis, Flatbreads,
Soup and Salads.
The Breakfast Chili
Bowl is chuckwagon
chili topped with a
scrambled egg and melted
cheddar jack cheese.
The Breakfast Burrito is a tortilla stuffed with eggs,
sausage or bacon, sautéed onions and peppers and your
choice of mushrooms and/or tomatoes.
Panino or bread roll. It refers to a small Italian sandwich
filled with meat and cheese or grilled vegetables and
is usually toasted. In the US Panini has come to mean a
slightly squished sandwich grilled in a Panini press. The
press ensures melted cheese, a crisp finish and grill marks.
You will notice many of the Panini come with micro
greens. These are always picked just before they are
put on your plate. The fresh plants are supplied by
Laura Klavitter, owner of MicroGirl in Dubuque. In
addition to growing these plants for retail consumption
she teaches horticulture at the Iowa State University
Dubuque County Extension and Outreach Program.
 Breakfast Burrito
Now I must tell you about the Açaí Sorbet. You
order this in either a cup or bowl and you eat it as a
scrumptious breakfast… or lunch… or snack… or dessert.
The Açaí (pronounced ah-sigh-ee) palm tree is
cultivated for its fruit and for hearts of palm. The
fruit is a small round black/purple berry containing
a large seed. The seed is never eaten but the pulp
is considered one of the most nutritious foods in
the world because it has ten times the antioxidant
power of red grapes and twice that of blueberries.
The Bacon and Egg Waffle is really good. A fresh
made Belgian waffle is topped with scrambled
egg, three cheese blend and bacon.
Margie really likes the soups and salads especially the
California Green Salad made with fresh lettuce, avocado,
almonds, kiwi, cucumbers and chicken topped with blue
cheese. The soups vary from day to day. You might find
Chicken Tortilla, Tomato Basil, New Orleans BBQ, Broccoli
Cheddar or Chicken Dumplings just to name a few.
Margie’s friend Jeanette
Wood usually orders the
delicious Meat Lover’s Flat
Bread heaped with lots of
sausage, bacon, chicken
and pepperoni over
marinara sauce and topped with cheese.
Cheryl takes puréed berries and mixes it into sorbet. She
adds a zest of lemon and tops it with blueberries,
bananas and strawberries and toasted granola. The
granola is homemade from oatmeal, English walnuts,
organic coconut, pine nuts, honey and safflower oil. If
you haven’t had this astounding dish you must try it but
be advised you will keep coming back for more.
 Açaí Sorbet
Charlotte’s Coffee House is a great place to relax in
comfortable surroundings. Come enjoy your favorite
coffee or better yet experiment with some drinks you
are not familiar with. Have a fresh scone, cookie or
muffin. They are all baked in-house daily. Stay awhile
and catch up on all your media devices. There is free
Wi-Fi (username: Guest, password: wifiaccess123).
And one more thing. Drake House Vacation Rentals
occupies the upper two floors of the building.
Don and Cheryl built these state of the art bed
and breakfast suites. The name is in honor of
Don’s mother whose maiden name was Drake.
When I visit for breakfast I like to get the Breakfast
Panini with egg, sausage or bacon, roasted peppers
and onions and I tell them to throw in mushrooms
and tomatoes too. At lunch time I prefer the Turkey &
Dressing Panini. This one has roasted turkey, Monterey
Jack or Swiss cheese, sage dressing, cranberry sauce
and pesto. It was supposed to be a seasonal special
for Thanksgiving but so many customers kept asking
for it they had to add it to the regular menu.
By the way do you know how we got to enjoy a Panini?
Panini (pah-nee-nee) is the plural of the Italian word

There are three suites: City View, Fleur de Lis (flerdeh-leese) and The Loft. Each of these short term

Life is short! I’ve heard it so many
times that there should be a counter
for “life is short” on my Fitbit. I’m sure
you’ve heard it over and over again
as well. I know time is limited, and I
should always live like today is my last.
Death is a fact of life; I get it. Most
people, myself included, tend to avoid
thinking about their own mortality. For
healthy, young people, death seems so
remote. Even at 45 years old, the concept
Mattitude Quote
of my own death is not really all that
fun to think about. Averages show that I
should live until I’m about 77. If that holds
true, I only have about 32 years left.
Are you halfway through your life
or near the end? There are only so
many tomorrows. Do you have 1 or 10
tomorrows? Do you have 10 or 40 years
of tomorrows? Don’t wait until you look
death in the eye to try to understand.

Take that feeling and use it to really
live. Stop drifting aimlessly through
life like you’ll be here forever. If you
really think about your own mortality,
you’ll stop wasting precious moments
with pettiness, bitterness or laziness.
We should all be told at the start of
life that we are dying. As the rest of life
can be unpredictable, death will surely
come. With only 32 years left, I’m going
to wrestle on the floor with my boys even
when I don’t feel like it. Urgent living.
I’m going to tell my wife that I love her
more often and go visit my grandma and
grandpa even if it is not convenient.
I can hear you now, “Come on Matt.
I don’t read this stuff to get depressed.
It’s supposed to positive.” I’m being
positive…I’m 100% positive that I’m going
to die. You will, too. The fact of the matter
is that there is not a single person on this
earth who is getting out alive. Don’t wait
until you’re 40, 50 or 70 or have a heart
attack or battle cancer to understand
your mortality. Don’t assume that you
have enough time to do everything you
want. You don’t. It may not be easy to
come to terms that you will die, but at
45, I’m going to think about it every
day and urgently choose to live. n

Might Have Been Right

Crossword answers on page 35
The Atlantis Gene by A. G. Riddle
started out as a throw away, a book
I’d intended to read for grins but not
necessarily review here at 365ink.
Very quickly it turned into the 900pound gorilla in my living room. I was
about 50 pages into it when I started
to get the feeling that this wasn’t a
throw away anymore. This book was
very well written and contained some
interesting ideas. I did a little research
and, low and behold, what did I find?
The Atlantis Gene is the first book in
A.G. Riddle’s bestselling Origin Mystery
trilogy, which has sold over one million
copies, is being translated into eighteen
languages, and is in development
to be a major motion picture! Yes,
well, I just found my next review.
Judging by the title, you can assume
it has something or other to do with
the lost city of Atlantis. You would be
correct. Most of the information that
has come down to us from antiquity
regarding Atlantis is contained in the
writings of Plato: it is on an island just
west of the Pillars of Hercules, circular
in design, populated by beautiful people
who were way ahead of their time with
regard to scientific advances, literature
and drama. The whole island was sunk
under a massive tidal wave. Turns out
Atlantis stands a pretty good chance of
having actually existed. The proof for
that statement is contained in the book.
It seems about 70,000 years ago,
Homo sapiens almost went extinct. There
were other hominids in existence during
that time and judging from the fossil
record there might have been four or
five all together including Neanderthals,
Homo sapiens and one or two other
species with very small populations.
You’ll discover how Homo sapiens
survived when the others did not.
The origin of human life on earth
has been a topic of interest since time
immemorial. Our evolution from hunter
gatherers relying totally on instinct to
those who could logically think about
and solve a problem, design, make
and use tools, and manage to keep
the forces of nature reasonably at bay
might have happened on purpose and
not just with the cumbersome and
time-consuming efforts of evolution.
Enter the Atlantis Gene. Where did it
come from? Is it still embedded in our
DNA? Can we use it for other things?
Dr. Kate Warner and David Vale
are thrown together to find out if
these things are real. Along the way
they discover an ancient, clandestine
organization, the Immari Corporation,
which has been keeping some of these
secrets from getting out to mainstream
science for thousands of years. The
Immari Corporation thinks they have
found a way to juice-up evolution so
humanity, at least a very small portion
of humanity, a select few, will be able to
take another great leap forward just like
Homo sapiens did after coming close to
extinction. It is verifiable that the human
population dropped to between 1,000
individuals and 10,000 mating pairs after
the Toba volcanic event 70,000 years
ago. We, all of us on Earth, are related
to that population of Homo sapiens.
Kate and David encounter the Immari
Corporation, Nazis, ancient conspiracies,
worldwide genetic experiments, and
many nasty people who keep trying to
kill them. Everything is not as it seems.
There is a whole lot going on in this
book. The Atlantis Gene has big ideas
and the plot and complex characters to
pull it all off. The writing is top notch for
a techno/thriller and moves very rapidly
along. It never gets bogged down.
If you are looking for a thriller with
some bold ideas about the origin of
humanity, the origin of religion and
how evolution might have worked,
The Atlantis Gene by A. G. Riddle
should be right up your DNA. n

poetry. (It’s not all good, far from it.) When someone
asks me to compose a poem for an occasion, I’m
usually up for it, though I won’t write love poems for
you to text to your secret crush. Do people do that
anymore, woo their beloved with heartfelt poetry?
Here’s the thing. I know some people—you,
perhaps?—don’t care for poetry. Some people would
not cross the road to pick up a poem fallen from the
pocket of the U.S. Poet Laureate. Many have no idea
the United States has such a thing, nor what this person
does, or which lucky poet currently holds that post.
I love poetry so much, I went back to school, student
loan and all, at the age of 53 to earn my Master of Fine
Arts degree in poetry writing. (MFAs are reserved for
creative work, like painting or dance or theater.) For two
years, I read and listened to and wrote and critiqued
and studied poetry. Call me crazy, but it was one of
the best times of my life. Hanging out with poets at the
twice-yearly gatherings, I laughed harder than I had
in years. Listening to poems (and stories) about man,
woman, life, death, and infinity, I sighed, I wept, I felt.
That, to me, is the value of poetry. It is a form of
writing that helps us understand our lives, whether we
are reading a poem or composing one ourselves. Joan
Didion was talking about prose when she said “I write to
find out what I think,” but poets do this, too. Sometimes
what they find out will make you catch your breath.
If the word “poetry” makes you wince and the idea
of a “poet” leaves you confused, I can assure you there’s
nothing wrong with you. If the idea of poetry makes
you shudder, you are not alone. The fear of poetry
even has a name: Metrophobia. This may sound like
fear of metronomes, possibly an affliction brought on
my overly strict piano teacher. In this case, though,
“metro,” Greek for “measure,” reflects the rhythms
and line breaks that are often found in a poem.
Why in the world would anyone be fearful of
poetry? That’s easy—raise your hand if you remember
a teacher who demanded that you memorize and recite
a poem out loud, emphasizing the rhyme and rhythm
so methodically that all sense was beaten out of the
Dubuque365.com
words. Harken back to grueling essay questions in which
you were required to explain what a poem means.
I have news for you. A poem can “mean” two dozen
things. The poet may have meant one thing, and you may
get something else from it, and it is completely okay. If
we don’t quite go where the poet was heading, if a poet’s
happy verses about her funny mother provoke grief in
us because our mom just died, if we see a symbol of
domestic violence where the poet really just meant “a
table lamp,” that’s fine. That’s terrific! The freedom to
interpret a poem however you choose may be a small
satisfaction, but I think it’s part of the pursuit of happiness.
Billy Collins, a marvelous poet and two-time
U.S. Poet Laureate, described the problem with
poetry in a poem called, chillingly, “Introduction
to Poetry.” Among other things, he said this:
“I ask them to take a poem
and hold it up to the light
like a color slide
or press an ear against its hive.
[lines deleted so as not to anger the copyright gods]
But all they want to do
is tie the poem to a chair with rope
and torture a confession out of it.
They begin beating it with a hose
to find out what it really means.”
I don’t think “they”—Collins’ students, I presume—
really want to do that at all. The sad fact is, this approach
to poetry was taught to them by sadistic teachers who
wouldn’t know a beautiful poem if it sat down in their
laps and kissed them on the lips. Too many of us are
taught to tear the poem apart to find out what it means
because we’ve been brainwashed in one class too many.
Some poets write mostly for each other, or for
publication in some narrowly focused journal with
a subscriber base of mostly other poets. Some of
them learn to write a certain way in graduate school,
and can’t ever find their own voices, their own less
rigid way of arranging words on a page. These poets
are known as “academic,” and not in a good way.
Like any wordsmith, I don’t mind having to work a bit
to figure out a poem. But I’m a normal person, too, with
little patience with poetry that puts up velvet ropes and
hires bouncers. Poets who write poems most people
can understand are known as “accessible.” Readers
“get” accessible poems, and often they resonate deeply.
Following 9/11/01, Collins pointed out the need for poetry
this way: “In times of crisis it’s interesting that people don’t
turn to the novel or say, ‘We should all go out to a movie,’
or ‘Ballet would help us.’ It’s always poetry. What we want
to hear is a human voice speaking directly in our ear.”
Collins’ contribution is a wrenching, gratifying, and
ultimately consoling poem about the 9/11/01 tragedies,
“The Names.” You can find dull, laborious analyses of
this poem online. My suggestion? Read it, walk around
in it, be astonished or saddened or heartened by it.
It’s just you and poem, the way it ought to be. n

Columnists Dear Glenda!
I finally found the perfect boyfriend
since my divorce. He’s smart, funny,
active accomplished and sexy. I’ve never
believed in love at first sight, but our eyes
connected and arms reached out for each
other, and I knew this was the real deal.
We’re like-minded (hypomanic) and go
under false pretenses that we’ve known
each other a long time because our
immediate familiarity bond just seems
plain ole unnatural to the common eye.
My only concern is there isn’t one.
I’m scared I’ll lose something that
only comes once in a lifetime by my
inability to slow down and smell the
roses. Do you think these type of
relationships have a future or will it
come to a quick and sudden death?
—Lost in Love
Dear Juliet,
The chances of kismet love like yours
existing these days is equivalent to
collecting your social security check down
the road. I’d love to say live in the moment
and all that psycho babble 12-step BS, but
that ain’t going to make a lick of difference
when you ditch your lithium and reveal
the snake in that crazyland head of yours.
If we could all claim ourselves as
hypomanic, we would be free of television
and gluttony, and who would be buying
all the ads “indirectly” supporting our
soon-to-be elect who in turn will hop in
bed with the pharmaceuticals to train our
brains to follow the yellow dictated line?
My advice: stockpile on exercise,
healthy eating and medicinals and by
all means avoid excessive rants and
delusions of grandeur, encouraging him
to do the same and maybe, just maybe,
you’ll buy yourself another week.
—Your Health Care Advocate, Glenda
Dear Glenda!
I’m looking for fashion advice! I’m going
on a cruise and looking for direction on
what to and what not to pack for the
seven days. I would hate to over do it or
spend my vacation looking like a frump.
Any thoughts would be appreciated!
—Cruisin’ for Advice, Sheila
Dear Sheila,
Going on a whim, I’m assuming you are
slightly overweight, seeings how the vast
majority of folks spend well-earned money
on 24/7 buffet lines where travel equates
to letting the ship do all the moving for
you, then when opportunities of physical
activity finally come knockin’, the upcharge
cost is the natural deterrent when another
burrito will quench that thirst, sending
your gut back to your cubicle—I mean
cabin—to sleep it off, allowing your
weight to metabolize to the tune of one
additional pound on the hour, every hour.
My well-sought out advice: head-to-toe
spandex for the daytime regime of sitting
by the pool looking through magazines,
wondering why you got slighted with all
the belly fat while justifying it with, “I’m
on vacation, and I’m going to diet when
I get home.” And for formal nights when
dinner can be served in doubles and the
buttons on your trousers have already
snapped (go Moo Moo) try a toga-style
wrap introduced by the gluttonous
Romans. Enjoy the extra folds of fabric to
stash away some late-night food binge.
Skip the item that weighs less than a yo
yo and the bathing suit no one wants
to see you in to allow extra space for
that soon-to-follow Dear Glenda letter
looking for answers on “How can I lose
20 pounds in 7 days”, the very gift
brought to you by SS Chubby Chasers
Cruise Lines, bought and paid for by you.
