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 launch of a new website… www.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.
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 over 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 four main stores and
two “satellite” stores including recently opened Onawa Memorials in Onawa, Iowa. Locations and contact information for all six Luken stores can be found at www.lukenmemorials.com. With witner approaching, Luken Memorials reminds you that purchasing in the winter months will assure installation by Memorial Day (May 27, 2013). 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.

Museum brings history to life By Terry Turner‌
TOPEKA, Kan. | The Kansas Museum of History offers visitors a look back at the unique and varied history of the state. The museum features sections dedicated to all areas of Kansas history including western heritage, military history, Native America heritage, aviation history and many other historic themes. Entering the gallery area on a self-guided tour, visitors step into early Kansas with displays featuring a full-size replica of a grass lodge once used by the Wichita Indians. Nearby is a replica of a Cheyenne tipi that was also part of the early history of Kansas. The next area on the tour describes the trails that crisscrossed Kansas in the 19th century. The two most famous of those trails are the Oregon and Santa Fe Trails. The Oregon Trail, sometimes referred to as the Oregon-California Trail began at the Missouri River and passed through northeastern Kansas. More than 250,000 pioneers traveled west in covered wagons and on horseback on this trail from the early 1840s to the 1860s. Many died on the grueling 2,000 mile journey while others became discouraged and turned back. But most pushed on hoping for a better life in the American

When pioneers taking the Santa Fe Trail reached western Kansas they had a choice of two routes. They could take the Mountain Route which was longer and included 230 miles of unprotected campsites between Fort Larned and Fort Lyon in Colorado. It followed the Arkansas River into Colorado before turning south. The other choice was the Jornada Route which was a dry waterless stretch cutting southwest at
Cimarron Crossing and other Arkansas River crossings. It was shorter and saved 10 days and would eventually carry 75 percent of all future trade. On display in the Trails exhibit is a stage coach purchased in 1868 from Abbot, Downing & Company and used by the Southwestern Stage Company. Also in the Trails exhibit is a unique and mysterious tombstone. The tombstone bears the name, S. M. Marshall who was part of a party of settlers on the Oregon Trail. There is no record of his age or occupation. All that is known is that he died of cholera en route to California near Baldwin Creek in what is now Pottawatomie County, Kansas on May 27, 1849. Marshall was part of the westward migration of nearly 40,000 people on the Oregon-California Trail in 1849. The next gallery on the tour is dedicated to the Civil War. Just prior to the Civil War the Kansas Territory became an important factor in the balance of power between the North and South depending on whether Kansas became a free state or a slave state. Hundreds of people came to Kansas in the 1850s to fight for either the proslavery or anti-slavery cause. The territory became known as Bleeding Kansas because of the violent clashes between the

Museum: The Kansas Museum of History from page 7 two factions. Residents of bordering Missouri crossed into Kansas and attacked those supporting anti-slavery. Some in Kansas went into Missouri and conducted bloody raids against those who supported slavery. After years of fighting, Kansas entered the Union as a free state in January 1861. Just three months later the first shots of the Civil War were fired. The Trains and Towns Gallery has the largest single artifact in the museum, a steam locomotive and train cars. The Cyrus K. Holliday steam locomotive was restored to its 1880 condition and looks just as it did when it was first used by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway. In February 1983, after an extensive restoration by the Kansas Historical Society the train was hauled to the museum site on a flatbed and moved in place while the building was still under construction. Known as No. 132 the locomotive is attached to two coaches. One has been restored as a 1920s drover’s car and the other is a 1910 division superintendent’s car. In the Early 20th Century Gallery, displays and artifacts tell the story of Kansas from 1900 to 1940. The largest display in the gallery hangs from the ceiling. It’s a plane built by Kansas native Albin K. Longren. This is the fifth plane built
by Longren. On Sept. 2, 1911, the first design of the biplane became the first Kansas-made plane to fly. The last gallery on the tour is the Recent Past featuring the years 1940 to 1990. Much of this gallery is taken up with the history of food in Kansas. It seems Kansas entrepreneurs were among the first in the country to feed people on the move and do it fast. Fred Harvey was the first to develop the idea of a large scale restaurant chain with his very successful Harvey House. The first of these opened in Topeka’s Santa Fe depot in 1876. The modern vending machine had its origins in Kansas City. The Vendo Company developed and pioneered a coinoperated ice chest in 1937. Many fast food chains got their start in Kansas. White Castle, Pizza Hut, Big Cheese Pizza, Taco Tico and Taco Grande all began in Kansas.

Cover Story
Still
hooke d Correctionville man hooked on bait business TIM GALLAGHER
tgallagher@siouxcityjournal.com
CORRECTIONVILLE, Iowa | Gary Bollmeyer, head of a one-man bait shop called Gare’s Bait & Tackle, suffered through a tough economy a couple of years ago. • How tough was it? • The economy was so bad, people were stealing chubs and night crawlers. • That tough. • Bollmeyer runs a shop largely on the honor system. Honor as far as his around-the-clock camera surveillance will cover him. • “Smile, You’re on Camera,” says a sign greeting visitors to his shop site, a rock structure built as a gas station in 1934 and purchased by the city of Correctionville 13 years ago. 10 | Prime | www.siouxlandprime.com

ollmeyer began leasing the site on Iowa Highway 31 in Correctionville this spring. “It’s been a great place for me,” he says. “Business is up.” During a visit with Bollmeyer on a sunsplashed Saturday afternoon, five customers stop by. Four buy bait for fishing at Little Sioux Park south of town. The fifth, a kayak enthusiast from Omaha, ducks in to seek directions to Little Sioux Park. “Little Sioux Park is full,” says angler Bernie Riggs of nearby Washta, Iowa. “There has to be more than 200 people out there.” Those customers feed the till at Gare’s Bait & Tackle, a business that used to operate out of a shed in back of Bollmeyer’s home, the town’s old opera house. When his home collapsed a couple of autumns ago, Bollmeyer moved his shed
to an area behind Club Casmo, a bar and café in town. The old service station, featuring two idled fuel pumps out the front door, eventually hooked the bait shop proprietor. “I like being here to visit with people,” he says. “I also like the money.” Bollmeyer worked for years at VT Industries in Holstein, Iowa, until a stroke retired him from the manufacturing sector. He’s been selling bait since 2003. And he’s been keeping customers honest, collecting revenue in a locked box he keeps on the counter. If he’s not at the store, he asks customers to write their name and their purchase on a notebook. “The honor system makes me feel good,” Riggs says. “That’s how it should be,” notes Ryan Schmidt of Omaha. Surely, there are anglers who seek an angle of sorts. Any worms missing and unaccounted for – or unpaid for – this year? “Numerous times last year and the year before, we had people take bait,” he

says. “This year, we haven’t lost any of them.” Well, there was one business loss. Bollmeyer has a note on the front counter in which he appeals to one miscreant’s sense of guilt. “To whoever bought the fillet knife & 2 Buzz Bait on Thurs., May 24, in the A.M. – your total was $19 and you only left $1. Please pay the other $18.” “The camera wasn’t working when it happened,” Bollmeyer says. While the theft disappoints this 63-yearold businessman, it hasn’t changed his business philosophy. He unlocks the door at 8 a.m. each day and stays open for 12 hours during the week and 13 hours on weekends. If he’s gone, you can still get your bait and leave your $3 in the box. (Chicken livers are $3 per tub, shrimp goes for $4 per dozen and chubs are $6 per half-dozen. Night crawlers are $3 per dozen.) He’ll also continue to offer popsicles to children of customers free. Even those disappeared at an alarming – if not suspicious – rate two years ago. “Things have been better this summer, much better,” Bollmeyer says. “Maybe the economy is better.”

“I know that our organization has made a difference for hundreds of animals, thousands of animals, that we’ve positively impacted those animals and the people.” During her nearly 20 years with the humane society, Geiger has watched as it has grown, not only in terms of the number of animals taken in and adopted out, but also in sheer size. In 2005 the shelter moved out of an 1,100-square-foot building on Dempsey Trail and into its 12,000-square-foot home on Shelter Court. These days, Geiger’s duties are more administrative, but Geiger said there are days she can still be seen cleaning out an occasional litter box or helping a person pick out the four-legged friend that best suits them. Mostly, Geiger said, she — and the others who work and volunteer at the shelter — aim to help the animals that people have turned over to the shelter because they are no longer able to care for them.

Histo r ry y 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.
