The Art and Soul of Fine Memorials
Luken Memorials is a family-owned business that established its home base in Yankton, SD nearly 60 years ago. Subsequent expansion has placed Luken Memorial stores in Norfolk, NE, Sioux Falls, SD and Sioux City, IA. The entrance into the Sioux City market area was brought about by the purchase of the former Schmidt Monument in South Sioux City in 1960, and then the move to Sioux City in 2003. Luken Memorials has been crafting memorials in area communities for many decades, incorporating changes in technology as it became available. Today, Luken’s special laser engraving system can depict full-photo scenes of a home, family, favorite fishing spot or other images to honor a loved one. Luken also inserts lasered black granite plaques into colored granite memorials to provide extra flexibility and color contrast.
Bob Luken, president of Luken Memorials, has stated, “It has always been our goal to provide the
their building into an additional display area. The expansion has created an indoor showroom of over 1600 square feet, the largest indoor display of granite and bronze cemetery memorials in the Tri-State area and allows Luken Memorials to display over 60 individual and family memorials in a spacious, welllit, comfortable showroom.
highest quality memorial that is available, in any of our trade areas. We utilize only the finest granite, and every aspect of the design, manufacture and installation is performed by a member of the Luken Memorials staff. By controlling every step of the process, we feel we can offer the absolute, highest value in the market. And we stand behind that value with our lifelong reputation for honesty and fairdealing.” Located in Sioux City at 1315 Zenith Drive (the former AAA Travel building) Luken Memorials has remodeled a previously unused portion of

A construction worker takes a measurement while installing a banister in a home staircase.
Hopkins researchers provided 234 Baltimore residents with 10 home visits by handymen, occupational therapists and nurses. Interventions were tailored to each senior’s priorities: Did they want to bathe without help? Cook? Be able to climb the stairs, or make it out of the house to go to church or visit friends? After completing the five-month program, three-quarters of participants improved their ability to take care of themselves — on average, able to perform two more tasks
of daily living on their own compared to before receiving the care, Szanton reported Wednesday. Two-thirds of participants also were better able to perform related tasks such as grocery shopping, and half experienced fewer symptoms of depression. The aid cost about $2,825 per participant, including the home repair, home visits from health professionals, and assistive devices. Szanton’s team still is calculating if that translates into cost savings for Medicare or Medicaid. Separately, a more rigorous study funded by the National Institutes of Health is under way with an additional 300 Baltimore residents, to prove if the interventions really work. Federal Medicare officials declined comment on Wednesday’s findings. But state Medicaid and aging officials are closely watching the research. Michigan has opened its own pilot project, testing a version of CAPABLE with more seriously disabled seniors who are eligible for a nursing home but don’t want to move, said Sandra Spoelstra, an associate nursing dean at Grand Valley State University who is leading the study with state Medicaid officials. “It’s a different way of talking to people and listening to what they desire to make their life better,” Spoelstra said.

Terry’s Turn
We take things for granted By TERRY TURNER
The other day I turned on the faucet in the kitchen to get a drink of water. As I watched that water flow out of the faucet I stopped to think about how amazing that was. Clean water under pressure came out and all I had to do was turn a handle. It wasn’t that long ago people didn’t have such things as clean water and indoor plumbing. I Terry Turner remember as a kid turnert185@outlook.com visiting my grandparents in rural Kansas and having to pump water from the well outside.

Sagamore Hill, in New York, was home of President Theodore Roosevelt BY TERRY TURNER

OYSTER BAY, N.Y. – Sagamore Hill was the home of President Theodore Roosevelt and his family for over 30 years and was where the Roosevelts raised their six children. The home is now operated by the National Park Service and open to the public. Theodore Roosevelt was born into a wealthy family in New York City on Oct. 27, 1858. He spent much of his childhood inside the family’s brownstone and was homeschooled due to his many illnesses, including asthma. He greatly admired his father, who encouraged him to pursue weight lifting and boxing to improve his health. The young Roosevelt followed his father’s advice and throughout his life was an advocate for strenuous exercise and vigorous living. He enrolled in Harvard College but during his second year his father died. Roosevelt worked through his grief by studying even harder and graduated magna cum laude in 1880. Following that he enrolled at Columbia Law School and married Alice Hathaway Lee of Massachusetts. In 1882 he became the youngest member of the New York State Assembly. In 1884 his beloved Alice and his mother

announced that he’d been shot, saying, “It takes more than that to kill a Bull Moose.” He spoke for 80 minutes before reluctantly going to a Milwaukee hospital for treatment. Because the bullet was no threat to any vital organs doctors decided to leave it alone. Roosevelt carried the bullet inside him for the rest of his life. Roosevelt died in his bedroom Jan. 6, 1919, at the age of 60 at his beloved Sagamore Hill home. He is buried nearby in Youngs Memorial Cemetery in Oyster Bay. The grounds at Sagamore Hill also have the Old Orchard House built in 1939 by Theodore Roosevelt Jr. on four acres of a former apple orchard. Today the house contains a museum with an extensive collection from the Roosevelt family. October 2016 | 11
