Learn more at www.lukenmemorials.com Comfortable, well-lit, welcoming showrooms; attention to detail and honesty and truthfulness when serving customers has always been the vision of the Luken Memorials business. And now, a new feature is helping to present the Luken story to an even wider audience. With the help of Powell Broadcasting’s “I Castâ€? marketing department, Luken Memorials recently launched a new website‌www.lukenmemorials.com. The website allows viewers to see photos of dozens of memorials that have been designed and installed in the past few years. And, although the website offers a broad selection of shapes, styles, sizes and colors of granite, new memorials are added as new installations are completed.
Bob Luken Jr. recently said “We are extremely pleased with the website but consider it to be constantly evolving and improving. We are excited to be able to add new photos as they become available�. www.lukenmemorials.com also offers viewers an insight into the history of Luken Memorials, including a video interview with Bob Luken Sr. and video testimonials from previous customers. Luken Memorials is a family owned business that established its home base and carving center in Yankton, SD nearly sixty years ago, and
traces its roots in the granite memorial industry to before the turn of the 20th century. Expansion to other areas led to a total of eight stores including West River Monument in the Black Hills of South Dakota. Locations and contact information for all eight Luken stores can be found at www.lukenmemorials.com. With Memorial Day 2011 having recently been observed, Luken Memorials reminds you that purchases made for any Memorial Day installation should be made in the Winter months, prior to the first of March. The designing and carving of a granite memorial can take several weeks to complete and installation in area cemeteries must wait until the ground thaws in the spring. And rainy spring weather can cause installation delays, placing those last-minute spring purchases in peril. For more information, visit Luken Memorials Sioux City location at 1315 Zenith Drive, near the junction of Hamilton Boulevard and Interstate 29 or visit us at www.lukenmemorials.com.

Terry’s Turn
My search for my great grandfather It was just over 150 years ago when the Civil War began. It started on April 12, 186, at 4:30 a.m. when Confederate troops fired on Ft. Sumter in the harbor at Charleston, South Carolina. For many historians that dark and terrible conflict lasted until General Lee’s surrender on April 9, 1865. In actuality some fighting continued until Confederate Terry Turner General Stand tturner174@longlines.com Watie surrendered on June 23, 1865. Most Americans today can trace their family history and find one or more ancestors who fought in that war. I’m no exception. My search for what happened in my family began several years ago. An older cousin gave me some documents belonging to my great grandfather. Those papers stated that Perry enlisted and was discharged in Ohio. The description of Perry on the papers is remarkably close to mine in hair color, eyes and height. That was a little spooky. By using those papers my wife, who is the genealogist in the family was able to piece
together some of what happened to my great grandfather during the Civil War. Knowing his dates of service and his unit she helped me get copies of his military records from the National Archives in Washington D.C. Those records contained his enlistment documents, medical certificate and muster records. The papers show my great grandfather was in Company K of the 27th Ohio Volunteer Infantry. He enlisted August 23, 1862 in Portsmouth, Ohio. The Company Muster Rolls showed where and when he reported for duty. Those documents revealed a surprise. I found out he was wounded in battle on July 4, 1864 near Ruffs Mill, Georgia. By doing some more research I discovered his unit and that battle was part of the Atlanta Campaign. The documents don’t indicate the severity of his wounds but I do know he was back on the Muster Roll in November of that year. He was discharged on July 11, 1865 and returned to Ohio. Then around 1869 he moved to Kansas possibly because the Kansas Homestead Act offered up to 160 acres of free land for those willing to work on it. So far I haven’t been able to verify he took advantage of that but it’s a good bet that’s why he

ended up in the Sunflower state. But like so many other veterans of the Civil War and other wars prior and since my great grandfather apparently had some problems dealing with the emotional effects of combat. He was sent to a veteran’s hospital in Leavenworth, Kansas and was later transferred to the National Home for Disabled Veterans in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Then he was sent to St. Elizabeth Hospital in Washington D.C. I was to learn later only the worst mental cases went there. Perry Turner died February 3, 1900 just one month after arriving at St. Elizabeth. The death certificate lists the primary cause of death as “Acute epileptic dementia� and the immediate cause as “coma from organic brain disease�. He was 62. We now knew when he died and where he died but we didn’t know where he was buried. The death certificate listed his residence as the veteran’s home in Milwaukee but the death certificate indicated he was buried in the hospital cemetery. But which hospital? The one in Leavenworth, the one in Milwaukee or the one in Washington D.C. We searched cemetery records in Milwaukee and Kansas and couldn’t find him. An Internet search revealed St. Elizabeth Hospital has
two cemeteries but they had fallen into disrepair and records for those buried there were scarce and incomplete. I was about to give up when I made one final Internet search. One result came back that Andrews AFB near Washington was looking for help with some community projects. One project was helping clean up and restore the cemeteries at St. Elizabeth. I contacted the person at Andrews who put me in contact with Dr. Joques Prandoni who was heading up the restoration of the cemeteries. Dr. Prandoni found my great grandfather’s headstone and about a month later my wife and I made a trip to Washington. Although the cemetery was not yet open to the public Dr. Prandoni allowed us to visit. When he showed us the grave marker a strange feeling come over me. I’m sure part of it was because I’d finally found him after such a long search but it was more than that. I was finally connecting with my great grandfather. He was someone I’d never met but certainly felt connected to. Although there are still many questions unanswered about my great grandfather I now know with some hard but rewarding research someday I’ll be able to answer them all.

The current museum was built in 1971 and is ready for a new home. The Yankton County Historical Society’s board of directors is in the process of converting the century-old Mead Building into a museum. Located on the campus of the former South Dakota Hospital for the Insane, the building was set to be demolished when the board – in 2008 – decided to study the feasibility of rehabilitating the building for use as a museum and cultural center.

Boomers fueling boom in knee, hip surgeries BY MARILYNN MARCHIONE The Associated Press
SAN DIEGO – We’re becoming a nation of bum knees, worn-out hips and sore shoulders, and it’s not just the Medicare set. Baby boomer bones and joints also are taking a pounding, spawning a boom in operations to fix them. Knee replacement surgeries have doubled over the last decade and more than tripled in the 45-to-64 age group, new research shows. Hips are trending that way, too. And here’s a surprise: It’s not all due to obesity. Ironically, trying to stay fit and avoid extra pounds is taking a toll on a generation that expects bad joints can be swapped out like old tires on a car. “Boomeritis” or “fix-me-itis” is what Dr. Nicholas DiNubile, a suburban Philadelphia surgeon, calls it. “It’s this mindset of ‘fix me at any cost, turn back the clock,’” said DiNubile, an adviser to several pro athletic groups and a spokesman for the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. “The boomers are the first generation trying to stay active in droves on an aging frame” and are less willing to use a cane or put up with pain or stiffness as their grandparents did, he said. A huge industry says they don’t have to. TV ads show people water skiing with new hips. Ads tout “the athletic knee,” ‘’the custom knee,” ‘’the male knee,” ‘’the female knee.” Tennis great Billie Jean King, 67, is promoting the “30-year” Smith & Nephew knees she got last year. “I wanted to make sure whatever they put in me was going to last,” she said. “I’m not trying to win Wimbledon anymore. I’m trying to get my exercise in,” play a little tennis on the clay courts in Central Park, and walk to a movie or a restaurant. “If I’d known what I know now, I would have had it 10 years ago.” Joint replacements have enabled millions of people like King to 10 | Prime | www.siouxlandprime.com

lead better lives, and surgeons are increasingly comfortable offering them to younger people. But here’s the rub: No one really knows how well these implants will perform in the active baby boomers getting them now. Most studies were done in older folks whose expectations were to be able to go watch a grandchild’s soccer game – not play the sport themselves, as one researcher put it. Even the studies presented at a recent orthopedics conference that found knee replacements are lasting 20 years come with the caveat that this is in older people who were not stressing their new joints by running marathons, skiing or playing tennis. Besides the usual risks of surgery – infection, blood clots, anesthesia problems – replacing joints in younger people increases the odds they’ll need future operations when these wear out, specialists say. “We think very carefully about patients under 50” and talk many of them out of replacing joints,
said Dr. William Robb, orthopedics chief at NorthShore University HealthSystem in suburban Chicago. Not all are willing to wait, though: – Karen Guffey, a 55-year-old retired civilian police worker in San Diego, plans to have a hip replaced in September. “I can’t exercise the way I want to. I have to go slow, which is really aggravating. I want to go full force,� she said. “I’m not worried about how I’m going to feel when I’m 75. I want to feel good now.� – Karen Cornwall, a Havertown, Pa., nurse who played a slew of sports since childhood, had both knees replaced last year when she was 54. “I just felt like I was too young and too active to be in pain all the time,� she explained. – Bill McMullen, a former Marine and construction worker from suburban Philadelphia, had seven knee repair surgeries before finally getting a knee replacement at age 55 a decade ago. He took up weightlifting to spare his knees but damaged a shoulder and had it replaced two years ago. “People ask me if I’m happy and I say, ‘If you have pain, go and get it done,’� he said of joint replacement. “It was the best thing for me. I have no pain.� People are urged to exercise because it’s so important for health, but there are “too many wannabes� who overdo it by trying to imitate elite athletes, said Dr. Norman Schachar, a surgeon and assistant dean at the University of Calgary in Alberta, Canada. “They think if they’ve got a sore knee they’re entitled to having it replaced,� he said. “I think surgeons are overdoing it too, to try to meet that expectation.� Dr. Ronald Hillock, an orthopedic surgeon in a large practice in Las Vegas that does about 4,000 joint replacements a year, sees the demand from patients. “People come in and say ‘this is what I want, this is what I need,’� he said. “They could buy a cane or wear a brace,� but most want a surgical fix. The numbers tell the story. There were 288,471 total hip replacements in 2009, nearly half of them in people under 65, according to the federal
Dr. Nicholas DiNubile, an adviser to several pro athletic groups and a spokesman for the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, says “The boomers are the first generation trying to stay active in droves on an aging frame� and are less willing to use a cane or put up with pain or stiffness as their grandparents did. The Associated Press
Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, which tracks hospitalizations. Knee replacements soared from 264,311 in 1997 to 621,029 in 2009, and more than tripled in the 45-to64-year-old age group. “Five or 10 years ago, a very small number of people under 65 were receiving this surgery. Now we see more and more younger people getting it,� said Elena Losina, co-director of the Orthopaedic and Arthritis Center for Outcomes Research at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston. She analyzed how much of this rise was due to population growth and obesity, and presented results at an orthopedic meeting in San Diego in February. From 1997 to 2007, the population of 45- to 64-year-olds grew by 36 percent, but knee replacements in this group more than tripled. Obesity rates didn’t rise enough to explain the trend. “At most, 23 percent of the 10-year growth in total knee replacement can be explained by increasing obesity and population size,� Losina said. “This is a very successful operation. The only caveat is, all the successes have been seen in the older population,� who usually put less stress on their new joints than younger folks who want to return to sports. “It’s unclear whether the artificial joint is designed to withstand this higher activity,� she said. If you have a good result from a joint replacement, don’t spoil it by overdoing the activity afterward,
experts warn. Better yet, try to prevent the need for one. “Being active is the closest thing to the fountain of youth,� but most people need to modify their exercise habits because they’re overdoing one sport, not stretching, or doing something else that puts their joints at risk, said DiNubile, the “boomeritis� doctor.
EXPERTS RECOMMEND: Cross training: People tend to find one thing they like and do it a lot, but multiple activities prevent overuse. Build it: Balance your routines to build strength, flexibility, core muscles and cardiovascular health. Lose weight: “Every extra pound you carry registers as five extra pounds on your knees,� DiNubile said. “The good news is, you don’t need to lose a lot of weight� to ease the burden. Spend more time warming up: Break a sweat and get the blood flowing before you go full blast. Rest and recover: Let muscles and joints recover and rest in between workouts. Therapy: If you’ve had a joint replacement, do the physical therapy that’s recommended. “I tell patients, 20 percent of the outcome is the technical stuff I do in the surgery, and 80 percent is them,� said Hillock, the Las Vegas surgeon. “I can do a perfect surgery, but if they don’t do the rehab they’re not going to have a good outcome.�

Participants in a support group for older adults at the Hanley Center, an addiction treatment and rehab center in West Palm Beach, Fla. are shown. A remarkable shift in the number of older adults reporting substance abuse problems is making this scene more common. Between 1992 and 2008, treatment admissions for those 50 and older more than doubled in the U.S. That number will continue to grow, experts say, as the massive baby boom generation ages.

heroin for the past 50 years. He came to Odyssey before, relapsed and was arrested for drug possession. Dennis says he’s seen at least a dozen friends die of drug use, but it wasn’t enough to make him stop. Now in his eighth month of treatment, he says he finally has the resolve to quit. “I’m going to get it right this time,” said Dennis, who has worked a variety of odd jobs. “I don’t want to die, not just yet.” Dennis’ treatment is paid for by the state of New York. Many pay out of pocket. Medicare offers some coverage for outpatient treatment but generally doesn’t cover inpatient programs. Experts have observed a rise in illicit drug use, while treatment for alcohol has dropped even though it remains the chief addiction among older adults. The 2008 statistics show 59.9 percent of those 50 and older seeking treatment cited alcohol as their primary substance, down from 84.6 percent in 1992. Heroin came in second, accounting for 16 percent of
admissions in that age group, more than double its share in the earlier survey. Cocaine was third, at 11.4 percent, more than four times its 1992 rate. Surveys show the vast majority of older drug addicts and alcoholics reported first using their substance of choice many years earlier, like Dennis. That lifelong use can lead to liver damage, memory loss, hepatitis and a host of other medical issues. A minority of people find comfort in drugs and alcohol far later, fueled by drastic life changes, loneliness or legitimate physical pain. Don Walsh, a participant at Hanley’s support group, falls into the latter category. He is among 19 men and women who gather on this day in the room with pale blue walls and the calming whir of a fish tank. One comes in a wheelchair, another with a walker; one dozes off during the session. Walsh, a 77-year-old lawyer, says he didn’t develop a problem with alcohol until he retired a year ago.

For nearly a century, the Milwaukee Railroad Shops have been standing in a valley nestled between the Loess Hills Bluffs and the Big Sioux River along State Highway 12, Loess Hills National Scenic Byway. Located in the north Riverside area of Sioux City, the Milwaukee Railroad Shops are historically important as one of the nation’s largest surviving collections of buildings and structures associated with a steam locomotive servicing terminal and rail car repair facility.
5300 Stone Ave. Sioux City, IA 712-276-3821
The Milwaukee Railroad Shops were built in 1917 on sixty acres of land. The complex originally consisted of a 30-stall roundhouse with turntable, eighteen backshop buildings, a power plant, two water towers, a wood coal tower, and two sand towers. Today, the Milwaukee Railroad Shops cover 30 acres with a six-stall roundhouse, turntable, four backshop buildings, one wood sand tower and several foundation remnants.

The Milwaukee Railroad Shops were originally built to function as workplaces for railroad workers to repair and maintain the Milwaukee Road’s eet of steam locomotives, freight cars, and passenger cars. During its peak years of operations in the 1920s and 1930s, over 500 craft and trades workers serviced and repaired approximately 850 steam locomotives a month and tens of thousands of rail cars a year. The workers were employed in craft professions such as boiler makers, machinists, carpenters, pipeďŹ tters, steam ďŹ tters, and many other trades.

The railroad downsized the complex during the early 1950s when the railroad industry transitioned from steam locomotives to diesel engines. The railroad abandoned the shops in the 1980s and subsequently sold the complex to a local salvage operator. The Siouxland Historical Railroad Association bought the complex in 1996 and began its historic preservation work to transform the Milwaukee Railroad Shops into a railroad museum. In converting the Milwaukee Railroad Shops to a railroad museum, the volunteer developers are preserving the features of the roundhouse and other structures to give visitors an understanding of what work went on in the buildings and why this site has historic signiďŹ cance. The Milwaukee Railroad Shops are designated a historic district eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places and are recognized as an ofďŹ cial project of the Save America Treasures Program. The railroad shops are home to Sioux City’s iconic steam locomotive, Great Northern Railway No. 1355.

‘Beekeeper’s Lament’ is fascinating read BY MICHELLE WIENER The Associated Press
No doubt you’ve read at least one article about the global honey bee crisis; namely, that vast numbers of bees are dying or mysteriously disappearing. It’s the stuff of science fiction, but the reality is assuredly more disturbing. Hannah Nordhaus gets to the heart of the myriad possibilities of what’s threatening our bees, and why we should all be concerned. The subtitle says it all: “How One Man and Half a Billion Honey Bees Help Feed America.” Nordhaus centers her account on John Miller, a migratory beekeeper who hauls truckloads of bees from crop to crop to help farmers who don’t have natural pollinators. Honey bees are crucial to American agriculture, pollinating crops of 90 different fruits and vegetables. We would lose our almond crops almost entirely without bees, for example. Nordhaus meticulously details this process, demonstrating how modern apiculture affects everyone from keeper to bee to farmer to consumer. She carefully explains all the dangers that honey bees face in a given season: While bees are remarkably hardy – they have the ability to protect,
“The Beekeeper’s Lament: How One Man and Half a Billion Honey Bees Help Feed America,” by Hannah Nordhaus. adapt and repopulate – they are also extremely fragile. One varroa mite has the capacity to take down an entire colony almost instantly. Nordhaus also calls into question, if not outright debunks, a few conspiracy theories about the bee crisis. But the crisis is just part of the story – bees die all the time, and beekeepers must steel themselves for massive losses, season after season. And while pollination is a natural process, mass-pollination is a business, one that poses an additional threat to the livelihoods of both bee and keeper. Nordhaus provides an almost overwhelming amount of information in a relatively short amount of space, but it’s a fascinating read. June 2011 | 17

Wright Brothers National Memorial BY TERRY TURNER Prime writer
KILL DEVIL HILLS, N.C. – It was a cold and blustery day December 17, 1903 on the wind swept sands near Kitty Hawk, NC when two brothers, Orville and Wilber Wright went down in history as the first to accomplish powered flight. Orville sent the following telegram to his father at about 5:30 that afternoon telling about the flight. “Bishop M. Wright: Success four flights Thursday morning all against a twentyone mile wind started from level with engine power alone average

Inside the Centennial Pavilion at the Wright Brothers National Memorial are artifacts and displays relating to the first powered flight. “In commemoration of the conquest of the air by the brothers Wilbur and Orville Wright conceived by genius achieved by dauntless resolution and unconquerable faith.” The visitor’s center at the park has displays and artifacts including many of the tools used by Orville and Wilbur in their quest for powered flight. One display is a replica of the wind tunnel they used to gain valuable information about wing design. A fan at one end of the wind tunnel was powered by a one-cylinder gasoline engine. This was because there was no electricity in their shop. Light was provided by gas lamps. Although the brothers were very serious about their work they still had a sense of humor about it all. Wilbur wrote later, “In fact, we sometimes referred to one of the two open ends of the wind tunnel as the ‘goesinta’ and the other end as the ‘goesouta’.” Full size replicas of the kites and gliders built and used by the Wright Brothers for their experiments along with the 1903 Wright
Flyer are all on display in the visitor’s center. At different times during the day visitors are invited to listen to one of the knowledgeable park rangers tell about the development of the flying machine. The Centennial Pavilion near the visitor’s center was added in 2003 to provide more room for more displays and as a place for speakers and other activities for the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the first powered flight. Also on the grounds of the park is a full size bronze sculpture by Stephen H. Smith depicting the first flight. The sculpture features not only Orville and Wilbur and the Wright Flyer but the surfmen from the nearby lifesaving station who assisted in the flight. One of those surfmen John T. Daniels used the Wright Brothers camera to take the iconic photo. Orville set up the 5 by 7 inch glass plate camera and told Daniels to squeeze the bulb to release the shutter, “...if something interesting happened.” June 2011 | 19
