Identifying with Tom Sawyer One of my favorite authors is Samuel Clemens, better known as Mark Twain. I remember reading his book “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer” as a young boy and identifying with Tom and his pal Huck. My friends and I in Omaha, where I grew up, never had any adventures like the ones they had but in many ways we were alike.

In spite of the fact we didn’t have rafts to sail the Mississippi or caves to explore, our imaginations could take us anywhere and let us do anything. We could be cowboys fighting rustlers and other no good scalawags on the western plains. Or we could be pirates sailing the high seas in search of advenTerry Turner ture and gold doubloons tturner174@longlines.com whatever they were.

Several years ago my wife and I traveled to Hannibal, Mo., where Twain spent his childhood. We were able to tour Mark Twain’s childhood home and other buildings including the Becky Thatcher house. In reality the house was owned by the Laura Hawkins’ family. Laura was the inspiration for Tom’s girlfriend Becky Thatcher.

Tom fell in love with Becky in the pages of the book and so did I while reading it. I think I was even a little jealous of Tom and his relationship with the beautiful Becky Thatcher.

Mainly because Tom had a girlfriend but I didn’t.

My favorite part of the visit to Hannibal was touring the Mark Twain Cave about a mile south of town. As I walked through the cave with the help of an experienced guide I was transported

back to the days when I read about Tom and Becky and how they became temporarily lost in the depths of the cavern.

Even though it was a warm day when my wife and I and about six others entered the cave, once we got inside the temperature dropped to 52 degrees. As Mark Twain wrote about exploring the cave, “Within was a small chamber chilly as an ice-house and walled by nature with solid limestone that was dewy with cold sweat.”

It was indeed cool as we walked through the narrow passageways. I could just imagine Tom and Becky doing the same thing lighting their way with a lantern held high in front of them.

We had the advantage of electric lights strategically placed along the path.

When Mark Twain wrote about the cave, he wrote from experience. The guide told our little group it was said the young Samuel Clemens would go around Hannibal asking if anyone wanted to join him exploring the cave. He became one of the most experienced explorers of the huge cave. It would be easy to get lost in the Mark Twain Cave since it covers 90 acres and has only six miles have been mapped. The tour covers 5/8 of a mile which was plenty for me.

I’m not one to collect souvenirs while traveling but I did pick up a couple of things in Hannibal. One was the autobiography of Mark Twain and the other was a coffee mug. On the mug is a quote from Mark Twain. I liked the words so much I had to have the mug. He wrote: “My books are water. Those of the great geniuses are wine. Everyone drinks water.” I only wish those words could apply to me.

Idea found in Adam Sandler film is used to soothe dementia patients JIM FITZGERALD Associated Press‌

NEW YORK | For 94-year-old Louise Irving, who suffers from dementia, waking up every day to a video with a familiar face and a familiar voice seems to spark a flicker of recognition.

“Good morning, merry sunshine, how did you wake so soon?” Irving’s daughter, Tamara Rusoff-Hoen, sings in a video playing from a laptop wheeled to her mother’s nursing home bedside.

As the five-minute video plays, with stories of happy memories and get-togethers, Irving beams a bright smile before repeating the traditional family send-off.

“Kiss, kiss ... I love you.”

Such prerecorded messages from family members are part of an apparently unique pilot program at the Hebrew Home at Riverdale aimed at helping victims of Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia break through the morning fog of forgetfulness that can often cause them agitation and fear.

It’s an idea borrowed from an unlikely place: the 2004 Adam Sandler movie “50 First Dates,” in which a brain-injured woman played by Drew Barrymore loses her memory every day and a suitor played

by Sandler uses videos to remind her about him.

“It was fluff, but it made me think, ‘How could that translate to our residents with memory loss?’” says Charlotte Dell, director of social services at the home.

“We’re looking to see if we can set a positive tone for the day” without using drugs, she says. “What better way to start the day than to see the face and hear the voice of someone you love wishing you a wonderful morning?”

As in the movie, every day is a new day, and the video becomes part of the morning routine. Relatives who take part are urged to say good morning, use memory-triggering personal anecdotes and remind the residents that attendants will be helping them get dressed and ready for the day.

Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias afflict a growing number of Americans as baby boomers age and people live longer.

The Alzheimer’s Association says more than 5 million Americans have Alzheimer’s.

she says.

Although Rusoff-Hoen, who lives a couple of hours away in Ghent, visits her mother three days a week, she said the video program helps fill in the gaps. “I am there with my mom, loving her and wishing her a wonderful day and helping her to feel better because there’s not a lot I can do for her,” Rosoff-Hoen said.

The Hebrew Home plans to evaluate the program after this month and may expand it to more of the several hundred residents in its memory-care “neighborhoods.” Dell says anecdotal evidence from the staff is “very positive.”

Irving’s son-in-law, Mihai Radulescu, also made a video for her. In it, he kids her about being “a delinquent” because she once worked for a bootlegger.

Richard Drew, Associated Press On the recording, he repeatedly reminds Patient Louise Irving watches a laptop computer with her daughter’s morning wake-up video Irving, “I know where you are. ...

White House unveils blue-trimmed Barack Obama state china

BY DARLENE SUPERVILLE Associated Press‌

WASHINGTON | The White House on Monday unveiled the official state china service of President Barack Obama’s administration, an 11-piece setting trimmed in a hue of blue that was inspired by the waters of his native state of Hawaii. The china will immediately be put into service at Tuesday’s state dinner for Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. Michelle Obama’s office said the first lady chose what’s been dubbed “Kailua Blue” to distinguish her family’s china from the red, green, blue and yellow used

on more recent state services.

A fluted band of Kailua Blue, framed by a textured gold rim and a simple gold inner line, appears on all pieces of the service, except for the dinner and serving plates.

The solid white dinner plates are edged in gold; the service plates have a wide gold rim and the presidential coat of arms at the center.

“It’s a modern and fresh color not previously seen on state chinas, but Mrs. Obama’s main goal was to create a modern service that is completely compatible and interchangeable and usable with all the historic china services,” White House

Care centered around you.

Curator William Allman said during a preview of Tuesday’s state dinner.

Each setting includes a first for presidential tableware — an individual tureen that can be used for soup, dessert or “any other dish that the chefs get creative and decide they would like to serve with a little panache in an individual serving size,” Allman said. The White House did not disclose the cost of the china service, which has settings for 320 people. It was paid for out of a private fund that is administered by the White House Historical Association and used to buy fine and decorative arts for the White House.

Woodrow Wilson’s childhood home offers glimpse into his influences

By TERRY TURNER‌

AUGUSTA, Ga. | Woodrow Wilson, our nation’s 28th president, spent 10 years of his early boyhood in Augusta.

He and his family lived in a two-and-ahalf story brick home built in 1859 which is now open to the pub-

lic. It was here young Wilson began his leadership skills; and it was here he learned about the hardships of the Civil War and Reconstruction after the war.

Thomas Woodrow Wilson was born Dec. 28, 1856, in Staunton, Va., to a devout

10 | Prime | www.siouxlandprime.com

Presbyterian family.

Shortly after his birth the family moved to Augusta where his father Joseph Ruggles Wilson was a Presbyterian minister.

The house has a small portico on the front with balconies on either side. The house has modern amenities

such as gas lights and 12-foot ceilings with plaster moldings and a fireplace in each room.

In the backyard was a two-story brick service building with an up-to-date kitchen, wood storage room and two servants’ rooms on the second floor.

Also in the backyard

was a carriage house with a second floor hayloft where the young future president known to his friends as “Tommy” held meetings for their Lightfoot Baseball Club. It was here Tommy and his friends practiced parliamentary procedures and operated under a

set of bylaws drawn up

by Wilson.

Most historians agree Wilson was greatly affected by the Civil War while living in Augusta.

He later said one of his first childhood memories was of hearing two men talking while walking past his

house. The men were saying that Lincoln had been elected president and that there would be war.

When the war ended he also witnessed along with the rest of Augusta Confederate President Jefferson Davis as he was brought through the streets under guard of Union troops. These youthful experiences no doubt contributed to Wilson’s reluctance to commit the United States to World War I after he became president.

The house was built in 1859 by Aaron H. Jones a local stove merchant. Jones never lived in the house but sold it for $10,000 in February 1860 to Trustees of the First Presbyterian Church.

Since it was across the street from the church it was a perfect location for the parsonage. The house would remain the official residence of the pastor of the First Presbyterian

Bedrooms in the home are furnished as they were when Woodrow Wilson lived there.

Church for the next 70 years.

Historic Augusta, Inc. a local non-profit purchased the Wilson home at a public auction on March 23, 1991 and now operates and maintains the site.

The house has been restored by Historic Augusta, Inc. to its 1860s appearance thanks to grants and gifts. The restoration included the purchase of the Joseph R. Lamar boyhood home next

door. Visitors enter the Lamar home to purchase tour tickets for the Wilson boyhood home. The Lamar home also has a gift shop and staff offices.

Furnishings were collected from several sources and were either given to the organization or placed on loan.

Some of those furnishings include 13 pieces that are original to the home and are on loan from the First Presbyterian Church.

Visitors can tour the house and then step outside to the backyard to the two story brick building with the family’s laundry room, wood storage room on the main floor and two servant’s rooms on the second floor.
