QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

“Why is fall fabulous?”

Think the face of cancer doesn’t look like yours? Consider this: almost 70,000 Americans between 15 and 40 years old are diagnosed with cancer each year; 10,000 will not survive. Unlike other age groups, since 1976, there has been zero improvement in the 5-year cancer survival rate for this age group. And, unlike kids and the elderly, when cancer hits someone at this age, they’re often in the middle of raising a family and working full-time.

I’m just

SAYIN’ {

Get the full scoop on Hoopla, what’s in this issue and whatever else we want.

Fall is definitely my favorite season. I was reminded of that this past weekend. We started off Saturday morning with a trip to the pumpkin patch. There are several to choose from in the area. This year our destination was Bart’s Pumpkin Patch north of Marion on Alburnett Road.

weekend, this week will surely have done something to get you thinking about pumpkins, raking leaves and Halloween costumes. There’s no doubt there’s a crispness to the air that wasn’t here a week ago. So now that you’re thinking fall, head out this weekend to take advantage of some of the fabulous fall activities in Eastern Iowa. Everyone says summer is such a busy time. Here in Eastern Iowa I think fall is just as busy, if not more so, with fall festivals and Oktoberfest events that celebrate another of my favorite things — beer.

It’s about as family run as you can get. The Gingrich family started it 18 years ago as a way to put away money for their two daughter’s college funds. Smart thinking. I wish my family had been that proactive. I wouldn’t still be paying Head down to the Amanas for Oktoberfest. The keg tapping ceremony is at 2 p.m. Saturday at the Festhalle off loans. Barn. Free beer until the keg is empty. Which I’m guessing won’t be long, so don’t miss it. Their setup is wonderful. Loads of pumpkins and

gourds and the reason my kids were looking forward to it — pony rides! Plus a really cute dog who liked to play fetch to boot.

After loading our car full of pumpkins we headed to Culvers Lawn and Garden Center for their fall open house. The kids oohed and ahhed over the koi pond and I did the same over pots of huge mums. Very much in the fall spirit by this point, I was excited to get home and drag out all my fall decorations. I love the way the house feels when it’s decorated in the warm reds, orange and yellows of fall. It just feels that much cozier. If you weren’t already in the spirit of the season this

Friday Iowa City and Cedar Rapids’ art galleries are both hosting gallery walks. Both tours are an opportunity to remind yourself what great art there is in the area, plus nosh on some goodies and enjoy some music while you’re at it. Another weekend event marks the end of summer for anyone who is a fan of the Cedar Rapids downtown farmers markets. The final one of the season is Saturday from 7:30 a.m. to noon. in downtown Cedar Rapids. So get out and enjoy fall this weekend. Just don’t forget to pack a sweat shirt.

and other information were not released. In both cases, the patients had “personal factors” that may have put them at high risk for H1N1-related complications. Unlike seasonal flu, H1N1 flu is disproportionately affecting the young. Most flu in Iowa has been reported in 5- to 24-year-olds. Symptoms of H1N1 are the same as seasonal flu: fever, body aches, runny or stuffy nose, sore throat, cough, headache, chills and fatigue. Prevention advice includes washing hands frequently, covering coughs and sneezes with a tissue or your sleeve and staying home when ill. Vaccine for the general public likely will be available in December at the earliest.

Operation ReLeaf

Alliant Energy’s Interstate Power and Light Co. and the Iowa Department of Natural Resources Bureau of Foresty is sponsoring Operation ReLeaf, a residential tree-planting program. The program will offer three-to eight-foot trees for $25. Order forms are available at www.alliantenergy.com/releaf, or by calling the Iowa Department of Natural Resources at (515) 281-6749. People are asked to pick up their trees between 7:30 to 9 a.m. on Oct. 10 at Squaw Creek Park in Marion. Advance order is recommended and purchase is limited to two trees per household.

Monkey business

CEDAR RAPIDS — Hang onto your hats! That mischievous monkey Curious George is swinging through town this weekend, landing in the U.S. Cellular Arena, 370 First Ave. NE. Admit it — you’ve read his antics in books and laughed along with him on screens big and small. Well, now’s your chance to see him in living color. Grab a kid or your inner child and catch him in action today through Sunday on his first live musical stage extravaganza. Show times are 7 p.m. today — with an

Tonight, however, all seats are $10 (excluding Gold Circle seats). Children who have reached their first birthday must have a ticket.

Prevention is key

CEDAR RAPIDS — The state’s second and third deaths from H1N1 flu serve as a reminder that flu prevention should be taken seriously, health officials say. Both were men in Eastern Iowa, according to the Iowa Department of Public Health. The cases, announced Monday, were unrelated. An age range

Frosty toes

Chances of a frost this week are “pretty decent,” even for Cedar Rapids. A frost advisory was in effect from 3 to 8 a.m. Wednesday from Highway 30 to the north. With temperatures dipping to 32 degrees, any tender plants that you want to keep should be covered at night. A frost this week would be 10 to 14 days earlier than normal. With a predicted frost, take tomato or pepper plants into an enclosed porch or garage. SOURCE: THE GAZETTE

Crazy Daisy

A newer addition to downtown, this shop on Third Avenue is always a fun stop on the way home. From cute table lamps to suit jackets, Crazy Daisy is true “quality consignment.” You’ll find top designers and most of the time with the original tags still on them.

This quaint little tailor shop is a life saver. Located on Second Street, they do everything from a simple hem to full alterations. They get it done quick, and are very affordable.

THE ( YOUNG) FACE OF CANCER

YOU SHOULD MEET

Mo Holland

Midday Air Talent and Commercial Services Director @ KZIA 102.9

Scott Steele

Morning Show Co-Host @ KHAK 98.1

When you picture the face of cancer, you’re not likely to picture the faces young adults like Mo Holland or Scott Steele. But these local DJs have firsthand experience with the disease. And they’re not alone. Almost 70,000 Americans between 15 and 40 are diagnosed each year, and 10,000 will not survive. Unlike other age groups, since 1976, there has been zero improvement in the 5-year cancer survival rate for this age group. And, unlike kids and the elderly, when cancer hits someone at this age, they’re often in the middle of raising a family and working full-time.

The diagnosis

●

something very rare: thyroid cancer in her ovaries. “The doctor told me to be ‘appropriately concerned,’ ” says Mo.

The treatment

Treatment for Scott began May 20 with blood work and three different kinds of chemo.

Scott was diagnosed with stage 4 rectal cancer in May after a trip to the ER. A scan revealed a kidney stone but also something on his liver and lungs. After a full CT scan, a PET scan, and a colonoscopy, “The doctor told me, ‘I can tell you 100 percent that this is cancer,’ ” Scott says.

“I was pretty sure I was going to die,” she says. In July 2008, she had a hysterectomy. September 2008 marked her thyroid removal. Then she underwent radioactive iodine treatments. “During those treatments, you’re radioactive,” says Mo. “I couldn’t see my son for 5 days. I lived on the lower level of the house. My husband left meals for me at the top of the stairs.”

Once it was confirmed, they told Scott the cancer The future wasn’t curable, but was treatable. Although that’s not As of last week, Scott has finished 10 of his 12 good news, he was hopeful. treatments. After his eighth, the radiologist found nothing on his scan and dubbed his recovery “Once you know what you’ve got, even if it’s horrible “remarkable.” news, you can figure out how to deal with it,” he says. “I’m clear of cancer right now, and it’s beyond my The odds of Scott getting rectal cancer at his age: less wildest dreams,” says Scott. than 1 percent. For Mo, it was an ultrasound after a miscarriage in March 2008 that uncovered a dermoid cyst on her ovary. When the cyst was removed, doctors found

His tumor marker sits at 9 (normal is 0-3), down from 289.9.

“The desire I had to crush this thing was overwhelming,” he says. Now he’s struggling with paranoia, but isn’t letting it consume him.

Mo’s treatment plan was a hysterectomy and a thyroid removal.

●

Cancer sneaked up on Mo and Scott. There were no warning signs.

optimism. Even though the survival rate for stage 4 rectal cancer is less than 10 percent, his first thought was, “Somebody’s got to be that 10 percent. Why not me?”

“When the doctor told me I was clear, the first thing running through my head was, ‘When’s it going to come back?’ But that’s the human mind – it’s how it works.” As a result of cancer, Scott has learned to relax, and he’s more likely to be spontaneous. As of November 2008, Mo is officially cancer free as well. Her one-year follow-up scan is next month. The experience has been profound, she says. “It’s not like you get to stop your life and go fight cancer. It changes your perspective and gives you insights you can’t imagine. As a friend of mine put it, I grab life by the throat now.” Because Mo’s type of cancer is so rare, she has no prognosis or survival rate. “The way I’ve chosen to look at like this: I’m cancer free. I don’t expect it to come back. If it does, I’ll deal with it then,” he says. — LEAH

From the minute he got the news, Scott chose LEAH GARRIS IS A FULL-TIME WRITER/EDITOR WHO FREELANCES ON THE SIDE. SHE’S STRIVING TO ACHIEVE THE PERFECT BALANCE OF WORK AND PLAY.

For a good cause

ESPECIALLY FOR YOU Breast cancer claims an estimated 40,610 lives each year. That’s a startling statistic. However, breast cancer is most treatable and curable when detected in its earliest stages through breast self-examination, clinical breast exam and mammography. But what can you do to help the greater cause? Strap on your running shoes for the annual Especially for You Race Against Breast Cancer on Oct. 11.

Registration is $25 or $15 for those 15 and under until Sunday. If you’re a procrastinator, don’t worry, you can register the day of the race, but it will cost $30. The race starts at Mercy Medical Center in Cedar Rapids. Registration is through the Web site (www. especiallyforyourace.org). If you can’t run, but want to donate, you can do that at the Web site, too. The Web site for the Especially for You Race Against Breast Cancer says the race has raised more than $1.1 million in funds and has helped more than 4,300 women.

The race raises money for women who can’t afford breast-cancer screening and also funds education That day’s schedule includes registration from on the importance of early detection. 7 to 7:45 a.m. at the Eighth Avenue entrance; a survivor photo at 7:30 a.m.; opening ceremonies And if you think this is an all women’s event at 7:45 a.m. and the race and walk begins at 8 — you’re wrong. For the first time, men can run in a.m. the 5K race. But the entire family can get involved in the 1 Mile Family Walk. Questions? Call (319) 398-6582.

After participating in the one-mile walk, Kirk Woltman holds his son Mack Woltman, 3, both of Marion, on his shoulders as they approach the finish line during the Especially For You 5K Race Against Breast Cancer hin 2008.

Are you ready for some football?

DUBLIN CITY Week four of the Monday Night Football bar tour brings us to Dublin City, 414 First St. SE, in Cedar Rapids for an epic game between the Green Bay Packers and the Minnesota Vikings. With Brett Favre going against his old Packers team, this is a game that even casual football fans shouldn’t miss. This week’s stop, Dublin City, isn’t exactly a sports bar and I can appreciate that. There are times when you want to go have conversation and a drink and you don’t want to be distracted by tons of televisions. I get that. Regardless, Dublin City was showing the game and I really wanted to check it out, so we went. Dublin City, which is in the former Muddy Water’s space and is the new home to both Dublin City and Grafton Street Pub, is has a large main floor, plus an entire second floor. It’s massive. There were only a handful of people in the bar when we arrived, so we took seats at the bar where we could watch the game on the two TV’s above their bar. There are no Monday Night Football specials at this bar, but they do offer $3.50 pints of Guinness at all times. They also have a custom drink they call Guinness-ace, which is Guinness and Ace pear cider together. The two liquids don’t mix, so its looks like a Black and Tan. For those who are fans of peaches, this could be your ultimate drink. Irish is definitely the theme of this bar. The walls are covered with all things Irish, such as

Dublin City’s Stats

7 HDTVs, four 42-inches ● Average cost before tip: $14 (1 beer/quarter) ● Serves food ●

a wall of Irish record albums, cricket gear and other assorted Irish sayings. There are lots of high top bar tables on both levels and tables looking out onto the street perfect for people watching. One neat element were plaques on the walls showing how high the water got during the Floods of 2008. Seeing the height of the water is mind boggling. Pre-flood, I was a big fan of Grafton Street’s food and I’m very happy that it’s back. They kept the same menu of great sandwiches and burgers, as well as adding some interesting pizzas and appetizers. I grabbed some Rollitos (think fancy taquitos), Guinness stew and a meat and cheese tray. When was the last time you saw “meat & cheese tray” on a menu? Think hard, because I don’t think I ever have. The food was absolutely outstanding and I can’t wait to go back to try everything else on the menu.

DEREK NOHR PHOTOS

Despite being a cool place and having great food, Dublin City wasn’t a good Monday Night Football spot. There’s no HDTV, no game specials and very few TVs. Upstairs, which seems slightly more sport’s themed, still didn’t have what I would expect. They had three 32-inch TVs on a large wall that just looked tiny. They would be better served by hanging two 50-inch TVs on that wall. While this may be a great bar to visit to have a drink with friends and get some great food, but it’s not one which I would recommend going to catch Monday Night Football. — DEREK

Head Chef @ The Bohemian

Give us some history.

I grew up on the SW side of Cedar Rapids, was in the military for five years then traveled out east for a while. I returned to Cedar Rapids a little over a year ago. It’s good to get back to my roots. I’m happy to be here.

What drew you to The Bohemian?

My heritage is Bohemian. I grew up around Czech food and wanted to do something that tied to my culture. Working in the high end, high dollar food industry was fun, but the experience of The Bohemian is really authentic. If you grew up German or Czech this is the food you know.

To whom do you credit your kitchen skills?

A huge influence was definitely my bubby. She watched over me from age 5 on up, and I was always inspired by her authentic cooking. I’d help her in her garden and observed as she made everything from scratch. Her kolaches were incredible.

As head chef you have two groups to manage — the customers and your staff. What’s your approach to each?

runch

I want people to come here for the authentic experience and get them so stuffed they can hardly move. As far as the staff, my philosophy is come to work happy. You’re going to have rough days and stressful days but let bygones be bygones. Make the best you can with what you have and treat everyone like family.

$14.99

Kids $10.99

Give us an idea of what to expect on the menu. For people wanting to keep it light we have homemade soups, salads, lemon pepper salmon and more. The heavy Czech experience includes gravies, dumplings, pork lion, sausage, sauerbraten, beef rounds and my homemade goulash — this is the thick and heavy stuff, not the noodles and pasta sauce so many people try to pass off as goulash. Mine includes peppers, stewed tomatoes, carrots, celery, onion — almost like a stew.
