Terry’s Turn

Television from days gone by I was walking through one of Sioux City’s major retail stores the other day and somehow ended up in the TV department. They had all the latest models including one that was as big as a picture window. The quality of the image on the screen was amazing. It was so sharp and clear it was better than real life.

As I looked at those marvelous pieces of technology I thought back to my first introduction to Terry Turner television. It tturner174@longlines.com was in the early 1950s and I was living in Omaha and probably about 9 years old. The first television station in Omaha and in Nebraska went on the air Aug. 29 1949. It was WOW-TV now known as WOWT. My family didn’t get a TV until 1956 so before that I had to rely on my rich neighbors for this new form of entertainment. The kid who lived across the alley from us had the first TV in the neighborhood. As soon as I heard this news I made sure we were buddies.

His TV was as large or larger than the console radio we had at home but the screen was very small and the picture was very grainy. Back then the broadcast day didn’t start until early evening or late afternoon.

I don’t remember the exact time but I do remember if you tuned in too early all you saw was a test pattern.

But even that was amazing. It took a few years before any real programming was available.

I remember a kids program called Snicker Flickers and it came on at noon. The idea was you could eat lunch along with the host of the program (I’ve forgotten his name) and watch silent film comedies from the 1920s. He seemed to eat a lot of 4 | Prime | www.siouxlandprime.com

peanut butter sandwiches and carrot sticks so I would usually ask my mother for a lunch just like that.

After some preliminaries like reading letters kids sent in and wishing somebody a happy birthday he’d get down to showing a film. And those films were great.

At the time I know I didn’t recognize any of the people in those movies, I just knew they were funny.

I’m sure they included such major stars at the time as Harold Lloyd, Charlie Chase, Fatty Arbuckle, Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin.

There was music and sound effects while the film played and the host added a narrative. The result was hilarious.

Today I have a small collection of silent film comedies on DVDs and get them out and watch them when I need a laugh. Even though I know what’s going to happen I laugh anyway. Those films are not only funny they give us a glimpse into what life was like back then. When I’m watching one of those films I always look in the background at the cars, buildings and houses. Several years ago I lived and worked in and around Los Angles where most of those comedies were filmed. It’s interesting to me to see how things have changed.

Back then the area around L.A. was very rural with mostly farm fields and orange groves. Now all that’s gone and replaced with houses and buildings.

It’s also been interesting to watch the changes that have occurred with television programs. When we finally got a TV in 1956 there were a lot of variety shows on the air. Milton Berle, Steve Allen, Ernie Kovacs and Ed Sullivan were just a few. I found out recently that 1956 was a year for a lot of firsts in this new medium of television. Chet Huntley and David Brinkley began their nightly news broadcast called The HuntleyBrinkley Report on October 29th.

Sullivan Show for the first time on September 9th. Networks began to use videotape for the first time that year. And one of the most enduring of all motion pictures was shown for the first time on network television that year. The 1939 MGM classic “The Wizard of Oz” premièred on CBS on Nov. 3 with an estimated audience of 45 million.

Today “The Wizard of Oz” is still shown occasionally (I watched it just the other night) but all those great

comedies and variety shows are a thing of the past. It’s true that a lot of those old shows are available on DVD but wouldn’t it be nice if we could see something today on network TV besides grisly crime scenes and sexual promiscuity?

When I watch TV I’d much rather see a silent movie comedy and eat a peanut butter sandwich and carrot sticks.

Agency pairs 55plus professionals with nonprofits

By JIM FITZGERALD Associated Press‌

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. | As she got older, Gail McDaniel felt she should be doing more to make the world better.

She’d been laid off after a long career in retail, her careercoaching sideline was tapering off and she wanted to keep working — but only at something that would contribute to society.

“I wanted to do some good,” McDaniel said.

“It is not uncommon for people who are older to want to give back and do something that feels good.”

Now McDaniel, who’s in her 60s, is the assistant to the executive director at My Sister’s Place, a women’s shelter in the New York suburbs. The connection was made by a company called ReServe, which pairs professionals 55 and older, most of them retired or semiretired, with nonprofit groups or public agencies that can use their skills — at a discount.

McDaniel is making just $10 an hour, and working just 20 hours a week, but said she’s “never been happier.”

“I wanted something that felt worthwhile and the mission here is very powerful,” she said.

Nearly 1,500 “ReServists” have put

in time over the past seven years, and more than 500 are working now at a broad variety of positions.

There are college mentors, bookkeepers, writers, teachers, paralegals, administrative assistants, doctors, nurses and even greeters at the wedding chapel in New York’s City Hall.

“We could never afford these social workers, these retired accountants,” said Janice Chu, who coordinates the ReServe program for 17 New York City agencies, including the departments of health, corrections and the aging. “They’re such an asset with their years and years of experience.”

New York City’s is the original and largest ReServe operation, but the company has branches in Westchester County, N.Y.; Newark, N.J.; Baltimore; Miami; and southeast Wisconsin.

ReServists work an average of 15 hours a week at that $10 wage — no health benefits — and the agencies get professional expertise without paying anything close to going rates.

Officials say that because nonprofits, never flush, are battling the slow economy, some of the talents

most in demand are fund raising and grant writing. Experience in personnel and accounting is also highly valued, as is the ability to speak a language besides English.

“Nonprofits can’t afford to purchase those skills at market prices,” said Linda Breton, ReServe’s director of affiliate relations.

The nonprofits pay $15 an hour, of which $2.60 goes to ReServe and $2.40 to the company that manages payroll and taxes.

About 50 percent of ReServe’s funding comes from private foundations and public grants, said spokesman Jesse Dean.

Breton said there’s been no trouble attracting qualified applicants.

“We have more people than we can place,” she said. “Recruiting retired professionals has proven to be very easy. They’re passionate about something and they want to give back.”

Getting the nonprofits to post positions is more difficult.

“Lots of them can’t afford people even at $10 an hour,” Breton said.

Nevertheless, ReServe feels the wage is important to a professional arrangement.

“The stipend means

Gail McDaniel poses at her office at My Sister’s Place in White Plains, N.Y. McDaniel felt the need to upgrade her contribution to society. Laid off after a long career in retail, a company called ReServe, matched her with a job as assistant to the executive director at a women’s shelter. ReServe pairs professionals over 55 with nonprofit groups or public agencies that can use their skills.

everybody has skin in the game,” Breton said.

“A volunteer can say, ‘It’s a crummy day, I don’t think I’ll go in.’ A professional doesn’t do that.”

Karen Cheeks-Lomax, the executive director at My Sister’s Place, said the $10 “helps formalize the relationship, but in an informal way. It allows the ReServist to create a life in the nonprofit but also continue her other life, or his other life, which may be golfing on Tuesday, book club, whatever.”

McDaniel said the $10 helps her save for trips abroad, but she gets more from the feeling that she’s valued by her boss.

“I am told on a regular basis how valuable I am,” she said. “That’s sexy stuff. It beats the 10 bucks.”

ReServe was founded

in 2005 by three men involved with nonprofits who “knew retirees who wanted to do something with their careers’ worth of skills,” Dean said.

The only basic requirement for applicants, besides being at least 55 years old, is computer literacy, Breton said, and “every day that’s less of a problem” as fewer older people resist computers.

At a recent gathering in Manhattan of people interested in signing up, staffer Suzanne O’Keefe mentioned a sampling of available positions — helping with an audit, getting elderly people to take their medications, working as a classroom aide for young children at a school near the Bronx Zoo. The session attracted 19 people, including

a doctor, a nurse, an architect, a TV executive, a few teachers and a real estate lawyer.

Most had retired, some had been forced out and some were just looking for something different to do.

O’Keefe asked each to say what they would most like to do for 20 hours a week — a “dream job.”

“Ballerina,” said Marie Sevy of Englewood, N.J., to laughter. Then she said she had put off plans to teach while she raised her children, and “I want to go back to working with kids again now that I’m a grandma and my grandkids are far away.”

Retired architect Larry Litchfield, 80, of Manhattan, said he would enjoy mentoring.

“I’m still healthy and vibrant and I have time.

I’d like to be useful.”

Comedian Anderson In Need of Post feeling his Midwest roots Surgery Rehab? Clean comic traces family beginnings to parents meeting in South Dakota Touchstone Living Center offers an extensive variety of superior therapy & rehab services.

By Eric Lochridge Rapid City Journal‌

RAPID CITY | For more than 30 years, comedian Louie Anderson has cultivated a reputation as a clean comic, and he attributes his success in that endeavor to his Midwestern roots.

Anderson grew up in Minnesota, and his parents met in South Dakota.

“My roots go back to South Dakota with my mom and my family. My mom grew up near Mitchell. We used to visit there all the time, Sioux Falls and Mitchell,” he said.

“My mom and dad met, I think, at the Corn Palace. He was a musician.”

Anderson remembers visiting relatives in South Dakota — a

pheasant-hunting uncle, in particular — as a child.

“We used to go to South Dakota, and I remember eating pheasant. I’m holding Louis a stuffed pheasant. I Anderson remember that being a highlight,” he said.

Anderson’s current show, “Big Baby Boomer,” includes some of the classic bits that made Anderson famous since his national television debut on the “Tonight Show with Johnny Carson” in 1984.

“Life with Louie,” a Saturday-morning cartoon series based on his childhood and his life

with his father, debuted in 1995. “Big Baby Boomer” covers topics such as food, family and getting older.

“I’m talking about how once you turn 50, things all change. First of all, time moves faster. People come up to you and ask, ‘What did you today?’ and you go, ‘It’s over?’ I ate soup,” he said.

The show carries Anderson’s trademark clean humor, covering a wide spectrum of ages that makes the performance suitable for entire families. And that makes the show perfect for the Midwest cities he plans to appear in on the tour.

“The great thing about it is, I’m visiting the Midwest and the places that defined my comedy. It’s the

place that made me a clean comic,” he said. “I’m not saying Midwesterners are prudes, but they like good, clean fun. I had to work really hard to get to that level, and I give credit to the Midwest audiences,” Anderson said.

Anderson, who performs regularly in Las Vegas, hasn’t appeared in South Dakota since a show at the Corn Palace in the late 1980s, so he is looking forward to his shows in Rapid City and Sioux Falls.

“I get to see a lot of people when I’m in South Dakota,” he said.

“It’s a nice break from Vegas to come back to reality. It’s good to see some trees ‘cause the only trees here are made out of metal,” he said.

INCLINE BENCH PRESS (Weight lifting 157.jpg) What is it: A popular exercise of the upper body, a bench press can be performed lying on a bench or from an incline position. You can use barbell but two dumbbells give you a wider range of motion.

Target areas: Chest, back, triceps, shoulders, among other areas.

SHOULDER PRESS Weight Lifting 245.jpg What is it: A exercise that both strengthens and tones, a shoulder press can be performed seated or standing up.

Target areas: Shoulders, biceps, triceps.

LAT PULLDOWN (Weight Lifting 136.jpg) What is it: Know what a lat is? It’s short for the latissimus dorsi, the long muscle that spans most of your back on either side of your spine. A lat pulldown, performed on a lat machine, will give you sinewy muscles.

Target areas: Back, spine PREACHER CURL (Weight Lifting 024.jpg) What is it: A bicep curl, performed with a dumbbell, where the elbow rests upon a sloped bench.

routine and proper nutrition.

Yet, most people don’t want to train like an athlete. They just want to be healthy.

Ketchens understands

that. In fact, his clients include men, women, kids, even the elderly.

“For seniors, it may not be strength training as much as it is increasing bone density,” he

explained. “Men may want muscles, women may want a toned body, kids may want a vigorous workout but it all begins with a commitment to get healthy.”

They’re jumping out of airplanes, reuniting with lifelong friends for communal celebrations and toasting the decades at elaborately planned parties. And in addition to showing off their vitality and enjoying the fellowship of loved ones, they’re also reflecting on the years gone by and the decades ahead.

For some, the big birthday is all about crossing something off the bucket list.

Heather Kessen and her sister, who live in Cleveland, “gifted my mom with a trip to New York City for her 60th birthday.

She’s never been and

we thought it would be a great way to celebrate.”

Liz Gamble of Henderson, Nev., wanted to spend her 50th jumping out of a plane, and her sister, who lives in Florida, surprised her by showing up the morning of the skydive with her best friend and a limo for the ride to the airport. “Once I stopped screaming, it was the most amazing experience,” Gamble said.

Harriette Rose Katz, a high-end New York party planner, says some boomers use milestone birthdays to relive their youth.

Through her business,

Gourmet Advisory Services, she’s organized blowout 50th birthday parties with 200 guests and musical acts ranging from the late Donna Summer to the ’80s rock band Foreigner. “They can get pretty rowdy,” said Katz.

Those turning 60 often find themselves honored by loved ones with a surprise party.

Reggie Ishman was tricked into thinking he’d be celebrating his 60th with his wife, Sybil, in Charleston, S.C. Instead, he ended up on a flight to St. Lucia where a niece and her husband, wearing disguises, were

seated one row ahead.

More relatives joined them on the island, where activities included parasails and zip lines.

Sybil Ishman observed that boomers think of 60 in two different ways: “We are quite logical in thinking that today many healthy older folks often reach 100, but 120? Not so likely.

So the probability of doubling our age is pretty slim to none. ... However, the other side of our brain likes a good challenge and knows that today, 60 is not a big deal, so we take on 60 with all our might.”

A trip to Old Fort Niagara YOUNGSTOWN, N.Y. | Not far from Niagara Falls on a bluff overlooking Lake Ontario is Old Fort Niagara, a fortress that has guarded the entrance to the Niagara River since 1726. Today the fort is a National Historic Landmark and a New York State Historic Site that welcomes more than 100,000 visitors each year.

The buildings and artifact collections offer a unique look into military fortifica- Terry Turner tions of the 18th tturner174@longlines.com and 19th centuries along with Old Fort Niagara spectacular scen- was restored ery and views between 1926 of the Niagara River. and 1934 The fort played to its 1727 an important role appearance. in the fight by France, Great There are a Britain and the total of 16 United States to control the Great buildings on the Lakes region of property open North America.

The fort was also to the public. a key factor in shaping the future of the Iroquois Nation and Canada.

The French constructed the first

building known as the Castle on the site in 1727. It was designed to look like a large trading house to calm any fears the local Iroquois might have about a military presence there. In reality the building was a strong fortress capable of repelling an Indian attack. The fort was expanded from 1755 to 1757 and a portion of the Castle was converted for use as officer’s quarters.

The fort was in fact used as a trading post as well as a military garrison while under French control. A large number of Indians came to exchange furs for mwanufactured goods at the Castle. The vestibule of the Castle contains a 25 foot deep well that provided water for occupants and visitors from 1726 to about 1815. A popular legend tells the story of a headless ghost of a murdered French officer who is said to haunt the well.

When the moon is full, so the story goes, he walks the halls of the Castle in search of his missing head.

On the second floor of the Castle in a Chapel which was the earliest permanent church in western New York. Rooms for soldiers at the fort are also on the second floor. A narrow room at the end of the hall was used briefly in 1768 as a cell for Robert Rogers who gained fame as a ranger during the French and Indian War and was the hero of the historical novel Northwest Passage written

by Kenneth Roberts. Rogers was accused of treason by the British and

kept chained and guarded at the fort until he was taken to Montreal for trial.

The British gained control of the fort after a 19 day siege in 1759 during the French and Indian War. The British maintained control of the fort during the American Revolution but were forced by treaty to yield it to the United States in 1796. Fort Niagara played an important role in the War of 1812 in guarding the entrance to the Niagara River. It was during one of the battles at the fort that Betsy (Fanny) Doyle, a wife of one of the soldiers helped load a canon and became a heroine of the war. The fort was recaptured by the British in 1813 but was turned back to the United States following the War of 1812. That was the last armed conflict involving Old Fort Niagara but it continued to serve as a peaceful border post.

After the Civil War a “New Fort Niagara” was built outside the walls of the existing compound. The new facility was used to train troops for the Spanish-American War and World War I. During WWII it was used as an induction center and later a POW camp for German prisoners captured in North Africa. After the war the fort was used as housing for returning veterans. In the early 1950s the new fort was used as a headquarters for anti-aircraft and later Nike

If you go Old Fort Niagara is located in northwest New York state near Youngstown at the northern most end of the Robert Moses Parkway. The site is open year round from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. during July and August. The fort is closed New Year’s Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. Admission is $12 for adults, $8 for children 6 to 12. Children under 6 are free. Discounts are available for seniors, AAA members and New York State Master Pass Program.

Histo ry Under Construction...

A Railroad Museum-in-the-making!

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.

Gate of the Five Nations at Old Fort Niagara was named by the French in honor of the five nations of the Iroquois Confederacy. It was the main entrance to the fort from 1756 until about 1805.

missiles. The fort was deactivated in 1963.

Today the only military presence at the fort is the U. S. Coast Guard.

Old Fort Niagara was restored between 1926 and 1934 to its 1727 appearance. There are a total of 16 buildings on the property open to the public. Along

with guided tours by costumed and knowledgeable guides the fort offers on site educational programs for groups. Inside the visitor’s center is a museum with artifacts and displays telling the history of the fort. The visitor’s center also has a large gift shop.

is the Old Fort Niagara Lighthouse built in 1872. The tower is 61 feet high and when the light was operating it could be seen for 25 miles. The light was put out of service in 1963.

The site is operated by the Old Fort Niagara Association, Inc in cooperation with the New York State Office of Parks, recreation and Historic Preservation.

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.

Milwaukee Railroad Shops Historic District

Sioux Cit y, IOWA 3400 Sioux River Road I-29 Exit 151 • IA Hwy 12 No rth Loess Hills National Scenic Byway

The Milwaukee Railroad Shops were originally built to function as workplaces for railroad workers to repair and maintain the Milwaukee Road’s fleet 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, pipefitters, steam fitters, 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 significance.

The Milwaukee Railroad Shops are designated a historic district eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places and are recognized as an official project of the Save America Treasures Program. The railroad shops are home to Sioux City’s iconic steam locomotive, Great Northern Railway No. 1355.
