What’s Coming

Brady March, 4, of Sioux City sports a painted face Saturday at ArtSplash.

ArtSplash returns to Grandview Park this year SIOUX CITY – The location may have been new, but visitors were still drawn to ArtSplash over Labor Day weekend last year.

After a slow and rainy start, the roughly 35,000 people who normally attend the annual festival finally made their way to Grandview Park, making the final day one of the largest single attendance days in the festival’s history, according to Sioux City Art Center development associate Kari Kellen The two-day festival, which raises funds for the art center’s education and exhibition programs, had to relocate to Grandview Park after flooding along the Missouri River threatened ArtSpash’s usual home, Anderson Dance Pavillion on the city’s riverfront.

The festival will return to Grandview Park again this year.

“People were very pleased with the park,” Al Harris-Fernandez, Sioux City Art Center director, said Tuesday. “It felt more like one big picnic where you could see everything at once.”

Terry’s Turn

Summer fun is here Well, summer is here with a vengeance. As I write this the temperature and humidity are having a race to see which can get the highest. The temperature is about 95 and it feels like the humidity is not far behind.

Of course I try not to go outside Terry Turner unless it’s really tturner174@longlines.com required and instead I huddle close to the air conditioning. Even when I do venture outside I have the ac in the car turned up to Max. As I sit here surrounded by the comforts of central air I think back many years ago to when I was a

young boy growing up in North Omaha. Back then we didn’t have the luxury of cool air being pumped into the house. Our house on Evans Street was environmentally controlled.

What ever the environment was outside, that’s what it was inside.

In reality I spent as little time in the house as I could when I was a kid. It was summer and time to run free. Well, as long as running free meant down to the end of the block to where the park was and on occasion a few blocks further if I asked my mom.

During those long summer days we did such things as play baseball, ride our bikes and play games like marbles all of which were done outside of course. And we never seemed to run out of things to do. Plus it didn’t matter how hot it was. We were hav-

ing fun.

It was back during those great summer days I developed some of the hobbies I still enjoy today. At one Boy Scout summer camp I got hooked on woodcarving. Our instructor provided a piece of wood in the basic shape of the project which I was to later learn is called a cutout or rough out and then gave us instructions on how to carve. Those instructions included a warning to always cut away from your body and of course keep your fingers out of the way of the knife. After I got home from camp I continued carving. I recall working on project in the backyard on one warm summer day. I think it was a neckerchief slide or something like that. I was busily cutting away at the wood while at the same time ignoring all the safety

instructions I’d learned at camp when suddenly the knife slipped and hit my finger. I looked at the injured digit. It looked OK. Then blood started to spurt from the wound like a red geyser. I tried to get it to stop bleeding but couldn’t. I remembered running cold water over a cut would stop the bleeding so I ran to the faucet at the side of the house. After several gallons of water poured over the gaping wound it was still bleeding. I didn’t want to go inside and tell my mom but I had to.

“Didn’t your instructor tell you to carve away from your fingers?” she asked as she applied a bandage.

“Yes,” I sheepishly replied.

I still do woodcarving today and once in a while I look at the scar on

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.

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.

Trends

Boomers take to the streets Half of motorcyclists in Nebraska are aged 40-59

By Jonathan Edwards Lincoln Journal Star ‌

LINCOLN, Neb. | The number of motorcycle riders in Nebraska more than doubled during the past 15 years as baby boomers aged and found themselves with a little extra cash on their hands.

Mike Muehling, a 43-year-old financial adviser in Lincoln, fits the mold almost perfectly.

Nearly nine out of 10 Nebraska motorcyclists are men, and

Cooling off during those blistering hot summer days of the past wasn’t as easy as walking in the house and adjusting the thermostat on the central air.

Back then no one in our neighborhood had such a luxury as air conditioning. Stores and theaters did but not homes. At least not the homes I was familiar with. So we had to come up with some unique ways to cool off.

One idea was to get an ice cube from the

more than half of them are between 40 and 59, according to data from the state Office of Highway Safety.

Muehling has a 1999 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy, which means he also belongs to the 40 percent of riders who own Harleys, the most popular bike on the road. The second-

refrigerator and wrap it in a napkin and suck on it. I would occasionally take one of those ice cubes and rub it on my forehead and neck to try to cool down. We would also have water gun fights which could combine playing cops and robbers with cooling off. I don’t ever recall running through the sprinkler but that was probably because it cost too much.

Another method to cool off was to have something cold to drink. Sometimes that was just water but often one of the mothers in the neighborhood would make some Kool Aid which was great.

Trends biggest slice is Honda riders, who make up about 20 percent of Nebraska’s motorcyclists.

Unlike a lot of men who get into motorcycling in middle age, Muehling started riding when he was 17 and said he’s seen more and more people get on bikes during the past few years.

“The baby boomers are finally getting kidless. They’ve been living for their kids their whole lives, and now they’re finding some fun for themselves,” he said.

Riding a bike instead of being inside a car reinforces that feeling of freedom, which riders cite over and over again as a reason they get into motorcycles.

“It’s just more of a freedom,” Muehling said, using a ride through the Black Hills as an example. “You smell the smells of the pine needles and the nature and the wind in your face – it’s just totally different than being in a car when you’re traveling down the road.”

The number of licensed bike riders dropped by nearly a third – from 56,000 in 1986 to 40,000 a decade later – but in the past 15 years the numbers bounced back, and then kept climbing.

Since the mid-’90s, the number of licensed riders in Nebraska has skyrocketed by 122 percent, to 88,700 right now.

It’s higher than it’s ever been, said Fred Zwonechek, administrator of the state Office of Highway Safety,

and he expects it to go higher.

“There still a growing interest, particularly as they get older,” he said.

“If they have enough disposable income, they go and by a large cruiser bike.”

Among possible reasons for the increase are greater acceptance in mainstream society and gas prices, said Casey Sadler, sales manager at Star City Motor Sports, which sells Honda, Kawasaki and Yamaha bikes.

But the feeling of independence is common, especially for older, recreational riders, he said.

“Motorcycling is one of the biggest freedoms they haven’t taken away,” Sadler said.

A lot of Harley riders get into biking – and into Harleys – for the ties that bind, said

Dave Fischer, owner of Frontier Harley and dealer-sponsor of the local chapter of the national Harley Owners Group, or H.O.G. Frontier H.O.G.’s 720 members bike together, eat together, hold club Christmas parties, Fischer said. They’re not tied together by work, church, socioeconomic status or race. The glue is they own Harleys, which isn’t something you see with other brands.

“No one’s tattooing ‘Kawasaki’ on their shoulder,” he said. “The binding’s just a little tighter in our group.”

Although the number of riders continued to increase as the economy tanked during the past four years, the number of registered motorcycles leveled off. The number of bikes on Nebraska

roads jumped by 23 percent between 2007 and 2008 from 43,400 to 53,200, but has flatlined since.

The industry took a big hit as people muddled through and no longer had money to buy or maintain bikes, echoed Sadler, saying sales fell 35 percent across the nation.

That changed at the beginning of this year.

Bike sales are way up; people are tired of struggling through bad times without any fun, a sentiment fueled by a winter and spring of unseasonably good weather.

“People are sick of the bad news,” he said. “What we’re seeing now is a huge upswing.”

With boomers on the way In Need of Post hospice industry diversifies Surgery Rehab?

Preparing for baby boomers, hospice providers diversify services, dispel myths

Touchstone Living Center offers an extensive variety of superior therapy & rehab services.

HOLLY RAMER

Associated Press‌

CONCORD, N.H. | Forget that image of a hospice worker sitting next to a hospital bed in a dimly lit room.

Today, hospice care is delivered everywhere from the golf course to the casino.

As they brace for the eventual needs of the aging baby boom generation, hospice providers are working to diversify their services and dispel misconceptions about what they do.

Chief among those myths is the notion that hospice consists of friendly visitors who sit in a darkened room and hold Grandma’s hand while she dies, says Robin Stawasz, family services director at Southern Tier Hospice and Palliative Care in upstate New York.

“It’s just not what we do. We come in and help people go golfing or go snowbird down to Florida, or go out to dinner several nights a week. We help them get to the casinos on weekends,” she said. “This is not getting ready to die. This is living — living now, living tomorrow, making the best possible life with what you have.”

According to the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization, an estimated 1.58 million patients received hospice care from more than 5,000 programs nationwide in 2010, more than double the number of patients served a decade earlier. More than 40 percent of all deaths in the United States that year were under the care of hospice, which provides medical care, pain management, and emotional and spiritual support to patients with terminal illnesses.

Both figures have grown steadily and are expected to rise as baby boomers — the 78 million Americans born between 1946 and 1964 — get older.

Call our Admissions Coordinator Associated Press

Liz Murphy sits in her room at the Hospice House in Concord, N.H. As they brace themselves for the eventual needs of the aging baby boom generation, hospice providers are working to both diversify their services and dispel misconceptions about what they do.

“It’s a complicated time and an exciting time, but it’s also, in many ways, going to be a very daunting time for hospices to try to find ways to take care of all these people,” said Donald Schumacher, president and CEO of the national hospice group.

For the vast majority of patients, hospice means periodic visits at home from a team of hospice workers.

A much smaller percentage receives continuous nursing care at home or inpatient care at a hospice house.

Medicare covers hospice care if a doctor determines someone has less than six months to live and if the patient forgoes any further lifeprolonging treatment, though under the new federal health care overhaul law, it will experiment with covering both curative and supportive care at a number of test sites nationwide.

In the meantime, hospice programs are growing in number and scope.

Recognizing that people are living longer and with complex illnesses, they’ve been branching out into other “pre-hospice” areas for patients who are not terminally ill. For example, some centers have become certified

as so-called PACE providers, an acronym that stands for “program of all-inclusive care for the elderly.”

“Hospices are trying to throw a broader net out to provide services to people before they become eligible for hospice,” Schumacher said.

Another trend is focusing on patients with specific diagnoses. While hospices for decades overwhelmingly cared for people with cancer, by 2010, cancer diagnoses had dropped to 36 percent of patients served, prompting some centers to develop programs geared toward heart disease, dementia and other diagnoses.

“We are realizing that while our roots were really in oncology, that model is not the best response for all patients,” Stawasz said. “We needed to really look again at how we were doing things. It is not a one-sizefits-all kind of treatment plan,” she said.

After working with providers and patients to figure out where traditional hospice had been missing the mark, Stawasz’s agency launched its specialized program for patients who have suffered heart failure in 2009.

Garvis laughs and may correct Evans about the make of the car, working his way around a shop that features a photo of the barber with

Tim Gallagher, Sioux City Journal

Coffee mugs fill a shelf at the barber shop Ira Garvis owns in Spencer, Iowa. The cups represent his travels.

Cover Story Pope John Paul II. It was taken in Rome in 1996.

“His radiance overwhelmed us,” says Garvis, scissors in hand. “I looked at him and said, ‘Greetings my Holy Father from my home in the U.S.A., Northwest Iowa.”

Garvis felt blessed at the time. Still does. At 70, he’s in fine shape and can stay on his feet cutting hair from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. five days per week.

“I’ll do this as long as God gives me the strength to do this,” he says. “I’m blessed with good health. Actually, it’s sitting that bothers me.”

The Jefferson, S.D., native came to Spencer in 1953 when his father received a transfer at work. Following his graduation from Spencer High School, young Ira followed the career path of two uncles and cousins, attending barber school before completing an 18-month apprenticeship in Mason City, Iowa.

“Then I came to the Tangney Hotel in Spencer,” he says, remembering his first paying job. “I was there two years before I got a chance to work with barber Al Mooney, and I stayed with him about 20 years.”

Mooney, according to his young study, stayed at the forefront of the trade, learning new cuttings and continuing his education.

Garvis followed suit.

“I love cutting hair,” he says. “I always have. I came from a faith-filled home where my parents stressed equality among people and the value of a good work ethic.”

While Garvis stressed equality, he doesn’t serve half the population. The fairer half, as it were. He never has.

Sports Illustrated, Popular Mechanics and Money are the magazines men read while they wait.

Tim Gallagher, Sioux City Jouranl

Ira Garvis Jr. cuts Bob Evans’ hair at Ira’s Barber Shop in downtown Spencer, Iowa. Garvis has been cutting hair for 50 years.

“This is a barber shop, not a beauty salon,” he explains, pausing to look in the mirror to evaluate his progress with Evans . “This atmosphere is masculine. There are no female clients.”

The talk involves the weather, the economy, a little politics, a little sports, a little photography. Bob Moore of Milford, Iowa, stops to shoot the breeze about music.

“I do a lot of listening, a good barber listens,” he says.

For a half-century he’s listened while giving flattops, butches and style cuts.

Since 1988, he’s been solo in this shop on Grand Avenue, a place he photographed for Iowa magazine.

Patrick Kennedy, a former Congressman from Rhode Island and the son of the late Sen. Ted Kennedy, once

stopped for a haircut while on a campaign swing. He left a note. “Thanks for the best haircut I ever had,” it reads.

The barber kept the note, and takes just seconds to find it. Everything has its place at Ira’s Barber Shop: the Pope, a note from a Congressman, the coffee pot, magazines, cookies and mugs. The U.S. flag and a traditional barber pole out

front must look just so.

The barber wants Grand Avenue, his place and his customers to look their best. You carry yourself with confidence when you feel good about the way you look.

“I see potential in your hair,” Ira Garvis says with conviction. “I know how to make this guy look good.”

For 50 years that’s been his aim.

Harrison home reflects president’s elegant style

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. | President Benjamin Harrison’s home on a quiet street in the busy city of Indianapolis reflects the elegant style of the period in which our nation’s 23rd president lived and worked. The beautifully restored residence is now open to the public.

The Italianate Victorian design home built in 1875 was an integral part of Harrison’s campaign for the presidency in 1888. Harrison limited his campaign speeches to his home with front porch receptions for a selected group of supporters and the press. Although Harrison didn’t travel the country campaigning, his Republican Party did the usual speeches, rallies, parades and brass bands in his support. The result was incumbent Democrat President Grover Cleveland won the popular vote but was defeated by Harrison in the Electoral College by a vote of

The Benjamin Harrison home in Indianapolis reflects the elegant style of the period in which our nation’s 23rd president lived and worked. The residence is now open to the public.

President

from page A13 that included a carriage house, brick driveway and landscaping for a total cost of $24,818.67.

The Harrison family, wife Caroline and their two children, Russell and Mary lived in the house except for the periods 1881 to 1887 when Harrison was in the US Senate and 1889 to 1893 when Harrison was president. After his presidency ended in 1893 Harrison returned home a widower. Caroline died in the White House the year before.

After returning to Indianapolis Harrison made several changes to the home including the addition of an English-Regency front porch.

Electricity was added and the plumbing was updated. In 1896 Harrison married his wife’s niece, Mary Lord Dimmick and the couple had a daughter Elizabeth in 1897.

President Benjamin Harrison died in the home on March 13, 1901. Mary and Elizabeth continued to live in the home until 1913 when they moved to New York. The home was then occupied by several different renters over the years until 1937 when the Arthur Jordan Foundation bought the house and furniture. The foundation used the home as a girl’s dormitory for students from the Jordan Conservatory of Music. The home was sold to the foundation with the condition it would also be a memorial to Benjamin Harrison.

When the music school moved to another location the foundation opened the Harrison home to the public. Then in 1964 the United States Department of the Interior named the home a National Historic Landmark. Two years later the Jordan Foundation created the President Benjamin Harrison Foundation Inc. to maintain and operated the home.

The three story landmark recently underwent a $400,000 renovation thanks to a Save America’s

Travel Treasures grant. The home is now furnished with many of Harrison’s paintings, furniture and artifacts from his life and presidency. The carriage house behind the home not only has some of the items once stored there such as carriages and sleighs but the building also has varying displays including one

featuring presidential First Ladies and another on Women’s Suffrage.

Tours of the Harrison home are given by knowledgeable guides who lead visitors through 10 rooms in the home including the third floor ballroom when it is not in use. All floors are accessible by elevator.

President Benjamin Harrison worked at this desk in his home in Indianapolis.
