Computers in various forms have been around for a heck of a long time.

Way back in the 1800s a mathematician by the name of Charles Babbage built what he called the Analytical Engine that was programmed using punched cards. During WWII mechanical analog computers were used by the military. It was during this period the first electronic digital computers were developed. So today’s laptops and pads are just improvements on some very old technology.

So it appears my plans for a summer vacation on Mars will have to wait.

And that rocket car doesn’t appear to be on the horizon either. But maybe it will feel more like 2015 if I can find a jumpsuit and get my wife to sew an upside down triangle on the chest … no, wait a lightning bolt …

Call of the wild

Mike De Sisti, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

Bill Galinsky works on repairing a customer’s German 1970 Hubert Herr cuckoo clock on Dec. 22 at his workshop in Waukesha, Wis.

Patience key for cuckoo clock ‘doc’

BY MEG JONES

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

WAUKESHA, Wis. | Bill Galinsky has likely heard the call of the American cowbird more times than an ornithologist.

The European cuckoo, too – Galinsky hears that bird all day, every day. Whether it’s the 20 cuckoo clocks in his home or the hundreds he has built or collected or is currently repairing in his workshop, cuckoo calls are the sound track to Galinsky’s life.

Galinsky is among a very small cohort of cuckoo clock repairers. He invents innovative cuckoo clock designs, he carves them and brings family heirlooms back from the dead.

“Nobody likes to repair cuckoo clocks. Most aren’t willing to do something that requires so much patience,” said Galinsky.

Galinsky, 55, repairs about 200 cuckoo clocks each year out of his Wisconsin buisiness. He estimates he makes another couple hundred clocks annually that he sells from his showroom inside a store built to look like those on the Swiss chaletstyle cuckoo clocks.

He got his first cuckoo clock when he was almost 7 years old, when his father, a mason who loved to prowl rummage sales, bought a Schmeckenbecher for a quarter. It was in pieces.

Galinsky looked at the clock’s bones and metal muscles and reassembled it. He still has that first clock. Plus many others.

“People overthink clocks. They think it’s rocket science but it’s just simple physics. You make this work by doing this,” he said.

Chair caning

Legally blind, he is a master at old-fashioned craft

BY DONALD BRADLEY The Kansas City Star

KANSAS CITY, Mo. | Through a cluttered garage and down basement steps, that’s the way to a world where no one sees better than a blind man.

The room is warm, the ceiling low.

Cane pulled from a jungle floor hangs from the walls. The room stretches long to the back, where worn-out chairs look to be crowding each other aside as if hoping to be next for the short, bald man in a white lab coat.

His name is Revelle Lee, and some say he is a master.

Just weeks short of age 90, he regularly comes down those steps in mornings still dark. Makes no difference. Light shines bright in his fingertips as he pulls cane thinner than thin spaghetti, an arm length at a time, and uses a spoon handle, an ice pick and golf tees to put new seats on chairs for a fine dining room he could never have dreamed of growing up.

This basement of a brick house on an Independence, Mo., cul-de-sac is where Lee catches up to a sighted world and makes his life.

His full name is Stephen Revelle Lee, but he dumped the first part because he liked the punch of the bugle cry.

He grew up dirt poor in southern Missouri hills to parents unprepared to care for a boy going blind. He couldn’t do odd jobs for money – wasn’t even good at scrubbing floors.

But now people from Colorado, Nebraska, Arkansas, Iowa, all over send chairs to his basement shop. Two people work for him. They see just fine and ask him for help.

“I’ll have him come over and check my work and he’ll feel around and say, ‘Looks good to me,’” said Bob Shields, 78, a retired police officer. “I don’t know how the hell he does it.”

Lee learned caning when he was 11.

That’s nearly eight decades of perfecting a craft mostly lost in a modern world.

Make no mistake: The work is tedium to the infinity. But caning was considered a “blind trade” when he started in the Great Depression and he was a boy alone in the world.

“No, I wouldn’t be doing this if I

could see, but I think I’m pretty good at it,” he said of caning.

“He’s one a kind _ nobody does what he does anymore,” said Gary Boyce, a manager at Andrews & Abby-Riley, an upholstering company. “I don’t know what we’re going to do when he’s gone.”

People at De Leon Furniture in Kansas City, Kan., which does a lot of custom work for upscale clients, including some unusual requests, also send work to Lee. “There’s nothing he can’t do,” Albert De Leon said of Lee. “He’s a master.”

De Leon’s father, Jose, who started the business, first met Lee 50 years ago. He raised both hands, palms out, to make this point: “What he feels, he knows.”

Customers pay by the holes that surround the seat of a chair. When Lee started in 1945, he charged eight cents a hole. Now it’s a $1.10. Chairs often have more than a hundred holes.

Albert De Leon has noticed the jump.

When asked if Lee has slowed down, De Leon smiled. “No, but he’s more expensive. It would take my guys a lot longer to do the work, though.”

Rolls of cane await installation at Revelle Lee’s Chair Caning & Rush Seating & Supplies in Independence, Mo.

Cover Story “The magnitude of this memorial, and the broad base of popular support on which it rests, can scarcely fail to excite national wonder and admiration.”

President Calvin Coolidge at the 1926 dediCation of the liberty MeMorial in Kansas City, Mo.

Honoring their dedication Kansas City museum honors veterans of World War I

By TERRy TURNER

KANSAS CITY, Mo. | It was shortly after the end of World War I that Kansas City community leaders got together to form the Liberty Memorial Association and create a monument to the men and women who served during the war.

In 1919 LMA and the citizens of Kansas City raised more than $2.5 million, the equivalent of about $34 million in today’s money, in just 10 days. The memorial site was dedicated in 1921 by the war’s supreme Allied commanders in front of a crowd of more than 100,000 people.

It was the first time in history all five war leaders were together in one place.

In 1926 President Calvin Coolidge dedicated the completed Egyptian Revival-style monument in a ceremony attended by more than 150,000 people.

Coolidge told the crowd that the memorial “has not been raised to commemorate war and victory but rather the results of war and victory which are embodied in peace and liberty… Today I return in order that I may place the official sanction of the national government upon one of the most elaborate and impressive memorials that adorn our country.

The magnitude of this memorial, and the broad base of popular support on which it rests, can scarcely fail to excite national wonder and admiration.”

It was a popular Kansas City attraction for many years, but over Charlie Riedel, Associated Press file time the once beautiful memorial Guardian spirits representing sacrifice, patriotism, courage and honor adorn the 217-foot-tall tower that is the centerpiece of the Liberty began to deteriorate. In 1994, the Memorial in Kansas City, Mo. memorial had to be closed due to 10 | Prime | www.siouxlandprime.com

safety concerns. But once again Kansas City residents and many others came to the rescue.

Voters passed a limited-run sales tax and, with the help of the state of Missouri, the U.S. government and individual donors, $102 million was raised for the restoration of the memorial and the construction of a museum. Construction began in 2004 and that same year Congress designated the 80,000-square-foot facility as the nation’s official World War I Museum.

The museum opened in 2006 and in that same year it was designated as a National Historic Landmark, a distinction given to fewer than 40 historic sites in Missouri and little more than 2,500 in the country.

The museum is located at the base of the memorial with beautifully landscaped grounds leading to the entrance. Once inside the building, visitors walk over the Paul Sunderland glass bridge suspended over a symbolic Western Front poppy field. Nine thousand poppies, each representing 1,000 deaths, offer a poignant reminder of the 9 million who died as a direct result of the war. The main gallery has displays explaining the causes of World War I and a Chronology Wall that gives a detailed timeline leading up to and during the war. Each panel on the wall has first-person excerpts from the writings of actual combat participants.

Visitors can walk through a crater illustrating the devastating effects

The Over There Café serves lunch and snacks with menu items named after people and places of the Great War. The café is decorated with flags from countries involved in the war.

Songs from the era can be heard while dining.

Shelter staffs sharpen photo skills to spur pet adoption

By LISA BROWN

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

ST. LOUIS | Sprinkle was transfixed by the reindeer headband with the jingle bells.

As the tortoiseshell kitten stared intently at the source of the sound, Ashton Keenan clicked away with a camera in one hand and the novelty antlers in the other, capturing the moment.

Keenan, an adoption counselor at the Animal Protective Association of Missouri, took the portrait on a December morning in the shelter’s new studio. A studio light hovered over Keenan’s shoulder as Sprinkle perched on a blue muslin sheet.

The studio, opened this year in a converted laundry room, is part of a “Meet the Real Me,” a pilot program funded by St. Louis-based Nestle Purina PetCare.

Launched at the APA, “Meet the Real Me” has expanded to nine other local animal shelters in recent weeks. The goal is to improve shelter photography so more abandoned and stray dogs and cats are adopted, said Pamela Hill, marketing manager for Purina’s pet welfare team.

If the program is successful here, Purina, the country’s largest pet food maker, said it may be expanded to other cities nationwide.

“We know that the old photos were ineffective because they didn’t adequately show the personality of the animal,” said Steve Kaufman, the APA’s executive director.

Shelters often take photos of animals when they first arrive at a facility, and their faces show the stress the animals are under, Kaufman said. Or, photos are taken with a sterile shelter backdrop with lighting that doesn’t accentuate the animals’ features.

Huy Mach, St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Jessica Johnson, an adoption counselor, gets acquainted with a kitten before trying to take his photo on Dec. 12 at Animal Protective Association in Brentwood, Mo.

Using training from a professional photographer, APA employees now use techniques that better highlight the animals’ personalities, and use backdrops that aren’t distracting.

Training videos, cameras, backdrops and other tools were donated by Purina to the St. Louis area shelters, as part of the $10 million the company spends annually on pet welfare programs. Some resources for shelters, including photography tips, are available on the website meettherealme. org.

“What we’re trying to do is make a positive change in the number of pets that are adopted, versus just a dollar donation,” Purina’s Hill said.

Over the past two years, Purina conducted focus groups to determine what drives the hesitation some people have about adopting a shelter animal. About 27 percent of household cats and dogs in the U.S. come from shelters, according to a Purina study.

“We’ve done quantitative stud-

ies and focus groups, and the main barrier to adoption is they’re afraid what behavior the pet will have once they bring it home,” Hill said. “It’s really rare to see positive images for shelter pets.

We think just seeing these images will change their opinion and help them consider a shelter pet.”

To develop “Meet the Real Me,” Purina enlisted the services of photographer Nanette Martin, co-founder and executive director of Shelter Me Photography, a nonprofit group based in suburban Denver. After Hurricane Katrina in 2005, Martin photographed search and rescue efforts for People magazine, and took photos of stranded and lost animals. Martin began teaching workshops at shelters nationwide spurred by her experience in New Orleans.

As part of Purina’s program, Martin traveled to St. Louis this fall to train employees at 10 St. Louis shelters on how to take photos that better connect animals with people.

Swett feels a connection to them, even at his age. He suffered a lifealtering brain injury and nearly died in combat after the Anzio invasion in Italy during World War II, receiving the Purple Heart. And, while slowing down, he isn’t ready to stop helping his fellow veterans.

“This has done more for me than I have done for the vets. It helped keep me alive. It keeps me going,” said Swett, a still lucid and engaging man who belies his age. “It’s getting harder for me to dress, but I make it.

With a swell of Baby Boomers entering their golden years, there are now more senior citizens on the road than ever, with 84 percent of Americans age 65 and older licensed to drive, compared to barely half in the early 1970s. A recent report issued by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety also determined that 68 percent of motorists 85 or older continue to drive five or more days a week.

A plethora of features are available on a wide variety of today’s cars and trucks that can help keep them safer and more comfortable behind the wheel.

For starters, not all car seats are created equal.

The best are those that offer multi-position adjustments, with selectable seat height and lumbar support. Seat bottoms should come between the driver’s mid-thigh and lower buttocks for optimal comfort. Heated seats can help ease creaking joints or lower back pain while en route.

Drivers with arthritic hands, painful or stiff fingers or diminished fine motor skills should look for cars that come with a remote pushbutton entry/start feature that eliminates ever having to use a key. Likewise, a power remote-operated trunk or hatchback is effortless to use, and a few models now allow a driver to engage this feature by merely passing his or her foot under the rear bumper. Tilt and telescoping steering wheels and power adjustable brake/accelerator pedals help drivers of all sizes find an optimal “fit.”

Seniors with vision problems should look for vehicles with a digital speedometer readout that can be easier to spot and process at a glance than a conventional gauge.

Choosing a model that comes with parking proximity warnings and/or a rearview camera can help drivers with diminished upper body range of motion by minimizing twisting and upper body rotation.

Perhaps most importantly, several high-tech accident-avoidance safety features are available in virtually all model segments that can be especially valuable to drivers with diminished reaction times. Blind-spot warning systems alert a driver to the presence of other cars to the side and rear of the vehicle on the highway, and some do the same for cross traffic when backing out of a garage or parking space. Lane departure warning systems warn drivers if the vehicle is inadvertently veering into another line of traffic; a few systems use the brakes or steering to help “nudge” the vehicle back into the lane.
