Search for race of giants takes

hunter to sites in South America,
Northwestern U.S. and Michigan
By Dennis West
L.A. Marzulli, who was in Walworth
County in May looking for evidence that a
race of giants once inhabited the area, is
still on the trail.
We just visited a site in the Northwest
where we found the skeletons of two
females laid at the feet of a nine-footer,
he said during a telephone conversation on
June 23. There is no doubt that he was a
very big man. The Native Americans who
have jurisdiction over the site stated nine
times that the remains dont match any
known Native American tribe.
While Marzulli was speaking at a conference on the east coast, a man
approached him and said he had an artifact
he might be interested in.
He unwrapped a brightly-colored tapestry that held an enormous bronze piece
that looked like a sword, said Marzulli.
He had found it in the middle of nowhere
in Michigan. The piece weighed 7.5 pounds
and we could see the hammer marks.
A Native American friend of
Marzullis named Chief Joseph looked at
the implement and told the white men they
were looking at it through the eyes of their
culture.
Its not a sword, its a lance, he
explained. Our oral tradition (which they
are understandably hesitant to share with

white men) includes stories in which
giants would skewer three Native
Americans at a time with a lance.
Theres no way an ordinary human
could throw such a huge weapon, said
Marzulli. The place that we thought
looked like a sword hilt was apparently the
place, like the notch in an arrowhead,
where the lance handle was attached.
Were going to accompany the man to
Michigan [he wouldnt reveal the location]
to search the site. Well have his artifact
carbon tested to see what we can find out
about it.
Marzulli also traveled to Peru where
he and his team found many elongated
skulls, just lying around. They picked
some of them up and took them to a museum.
They were severely elongated, he said.
Were they cradle-boarded? We dont know.
They need to be investigated.
They found a mass grave where there
were no ceremonial funerary implements.
The people had just been slaughtered,
apparently with war clubs.
Were the people who killed them cannibals? We dont know. Anything we say
would just be based on conjecture.
(Continued on page 7)
L.A. Marzulli holds one of the skulls he found in Peru. Although it is definitely
elongaged, there is no way to tell if the person had been cradle-boarded, or was something other than homo sapiens sapiens.

Ice cream lovers take a dip down memory lane

By Jim McClure
Like any teenager growing up in the
1980s in the South Side Chicago Irish
neighborhood of Beverly, Mike Condron
had his share of stress and worries.
What will I be when I grow up? he
wondered. How will I win the girl of my
dreams? Will I have enough money to
make a name for myself and make my parents proud?
The were thoughts to ponder on the
after-school and summer job which, in
Mikes case, was working at the local ice
cream institution, a family-owned emporium known as Rainbow Cone. Founded in
1926, it is one of Chicagolands oldest.
I actually started working a little earlier than most kids, says Condron. I
think I was 14 or 15. And working hard.
There was no time to worry about the rush
of dozens of families at a time. If youre a
youngster at a bustling hangout like
Rainbow Cone youre running fast and
lifting hard; case after case of ten- and fifteen-pound drums of ice cream. Down to
the basement, up to the counter and into
the freezer. And through it all, rearranging
the flavors to make sure the rainbow sherbet doesnt get too soft and the Pistachio
Almond doesnt get too hard. Was it back
breaking work?
Anything but says Condron with a
teenagers grin that belies his mid-forties.
I loved it thenI love it now. Theres
something about lifting those drums that
always had me smiling and happy. It still
does.
Still does because Condron, for the past
two years, has brought his first love and
first skill up to the northernmost outpost for
many Chicagoans; the Geneva Lakes Area,
where he has created his own version of
Dip in the Bay, 105 N. Walworth Ave. in Williams Bay, is based on an old fashioned South Side Chicago ice cream parlor where Mike Condron worked as a teen.
Offering nearly four dozen flavors of hand-dipped ice cream, it is open seven days a
week from 11 a.m. till 9 p.m. through September.

Rainbow Cone in a colorful Williams Bay

ice cream shop called Dip in the Bay.
A longtime Illinois/Wisconsin resident, he lives with his wife and family in
both Chicago and Fontana. The dual citizenship even goes back to the beginning,
when, in 1969, his mom and dad honeymooned at The Abbey Resort in Fontana
and, soon after, he became the by-product,
a genuine Geneva Lakes honeymoon baby.
Family is a large part of what Dip in the
Bay is all about, he reflects. You can see
it in how I designed this parlor.
You can indeed. The old-time counter,
located in the front of the store that once
was a historic ice cream parlor and soda
shop in the 1930s, is vintage, balanced by a
seating area with old time chairs and tables
with a new look and a clear design motif.

Youll notice that most of the artwork
is black and white, says Condron, who
after his own marriage and two kids went
on to become a successful lawyer in
Chicago and Washington, D.C., and an
investor and entrepreneur who founded a
series of successful enterprises.
The black and white photos are mostly
vintage shots of Williams Bay especially
Yerkes Observatory in various stages of
construction back in the late 1890s. But
that star struck outpost of a Southside
institution that graces Dip in the Bays tshirts gives way to the color of another
Southside institution. A small watercolor
of Condrons beloved teen workplace,
Rainbow Cone, leads visitors past murals
of customer and family color photos that

echo with the sound and taste of summer,
to row upon row of rich ice cream and
brightly colored ices.
I wanted this to be a place of family
memoriesan event location where customers can come again and again to celebrate birthdays, graduations, and the other
special times for family, he says.
If you have a childhood favorite, be it
Blue Moon, Mint Chip, Lemon Italian Ice
or Banana, chances are its here, providing
infinite varieties for the four-scoop alternatives and special combos, many of
whom, like Amys Chocolate Chip, are
named after Condrons family and close
friends. There are almost four dozen flavors to choose from.
The big draw at Dip in The Bay is the
top of the line homage to Rainbow Cones
prize confectionthe Rainbow Cone
itself. Then theres the leaning landslide of
five different flavors that Condron calls
The Chicago Style, all of it real, dairy
style hand dipped ice cream he boasts.
Its a five-story concoction topped
with an Orange Sherbet roof, a Pistachio
Almond penthouse, a Terrys Cherry New
York style layout atop a dollop of
Strawberry and a foundation of Chocolate
avalanching into and over a waffle or
sugar cone as fast as any family member
can lick.
And yet for Condron, who sold a successful health management company in
2006, all the extravagance of taste and
memory, from Snickerdoodle and
Cinnamon to Cookie Dough and
Superman (just like his cape and
tightsblue, red, and yellow), is balanced
by the sugar- and fat-free Skinny Dip.

Dip in the Bay
Continued from page 1
This is a healthy offering by design,

says Condron. All our ice cream has half
the fat of other local servings, and with
lots of natural fruit and nuts. The healthcare executive isnt far from the entrepreneur.
It was very important to our family to
create a small business that offered, real,
hand dipped, dairy fresh fruit and nut ice
cream to a neighborhood that previously
offered only soft serve, he explains. In a
way, we wanted to create the healthiest ice
cream option available in the area.
But healthier doesnt mean less natural. Our motto is from the Cow to the
Cone, he says. In fact, I still go to the
farmer-owned dairy a few times a month
to pick up and drive our ice cream to the
store. I later learned that, in the 1920s, the
owner of my ice cream alma mater did the
very same thing. And, after opening Dip
in the Bay, Condron learned that it is located adjacent to the former Johnsons
Guernsey Dairy, where the ice cream was
made that was sold in his building.
As a successful entrepreneur, Condron
is aware that his transplanted South Side
dream is no full-on cash cow, but he does
apply successful business principles.
If this were my only business, our

family might be living in our car! he
quips.
But he says the right ways bring about
the right result.
Our profits go back into the business
and I invest in the community and people
here, some of whom are building, with
Condrons guidance, their own memories
and business practices.
On a typical hot summer night, when
behind the neon signs and bright glow of
the vintage, yet new-age, shops windows,
families gather to laugh and enjoy their
seasonal favorite, Condron can be seen in
the back room bent over the task at hand.
Will this business continue to thrive?
he asks himself. What will my son and
daughter be when they grow up? Am I all
I hoped to be?
He grunts as he lifts an ice cream
drum, then another, and, as the condensation rises from the sides of the drums, the
come-hither bouquet of fresh ice cream
floats out into Walworth Avenue and the
night sky.
Mike Condron cracks another smile,
and unpacks more drums for his ice cream
dream.
Dip in the Bay is open every day of the
week till 9 p.m. through September at 105

At the risk of being politically incorrect,

does it seem as though there is no sense trying to understand, or deal with, fanatical
Muslims? The following recent events
would seem to reinforce that theory.
An Iranian man, after he and his wife
moved to England, became jealous of her
success as a beauty shop operator. Things
got so bad that they finally split up. He
eventually became so upset at her westernization that he went to the shop,
doused her with gasoline and set her on
fire. She subsequently died in the hospital.
Her daughters said she was burned so
badly that hospital personnel wouldnt let
them see her. She had to say her agonizing
goodbyes to them from behind a curtain.
According to an article in the Daily
Mail, the brother of a Sudanese woman facing the death penalty for abandoning her
Islamic faith has said she should be executed if she continues to be a Christian.
Meriam Ibrahim, who recently gave
birth to a daughter in her prison cell, has been
sentenced to 100 lashes and death by hanging after a Sharia court convicted her for con-
verting to Christianity, and practicing adultery because she had wed a non-Muslim.
Her brother Al Samani Al Hadi told
CNN that he had denounced his sister to
the authorities because his family are
Muslim people.
But Ms. Ibrahim, 27, maintains that
her Muslim father left when she was
young and that she was raised a Christian
by her Ethiopian mother, who is an
Orthodox Christian. Ibrahim has a son, 18month-old Martin, who is living with her
in jail, where she gave birth to a second
child last month. By law, children must
follow their fathers religion.
Its one [thing or the other], said her
brother. If she repents and returns to our
Islamic faith and to the embrace of our family, then we are her family and she is ours.
But if she refuses, she should be executed.
After being released, she was rearrested
when she tried to leave the country.
Farzana Parveen, a Pakistani woman
was recently stoned to death for refusing to
participate in an arranged marriage.

July 4, 2014 3
people, including her brothers, father and

cousin, police said. Police have arrested
Parveens father and are searching for the
other killers in this all-too-common crime.
Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif
has requested that Punjabs chief minister,
Shahbaz Sharif, submit a report on the
incident.
The United Nations estimates 5,000
women are murdered worldwide by family
members each year in honor killings, so
named because the womans actions are
considered to have brought shame on her
family. But womens advocacy groups say
the crime is underreported and the figure
could be closer to 20,000 a year.
Most honor crimes can be traced to
inflexible and discriminatory attitudes
about womens roles, especially around
sexuality, said Rothna Begum of Human
Rights Watch. Women or couples seen as
having brought dishonor on the community face violence, which is then held out
as a chilling example for others.
Most honor killings in the Middle East
and Central Asia occur in rural areas.
Parveens attack was unusual because it
happened in a public area of a big city.
And there is the infamous case of
Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani schoolgirl
who was shot in the head by Taliban gunmen because she insisted on going to
school and speaking out against a system
that tried to keep females ignorant.
But lets not forget about Africa. On
June 15, Somali militants who murdered at
least 48 people in a Kenyan village as they
watched the World Cup went door to door
asking residents if they were Muslim or
spoke Somali - and shot them dead if either
answer was no, witnesses revealed. The
attack on the coastal village of Mpeketoni,
about 30-miles southwest of the tourist
centre of Lamu, came at the end of a weekend of bloodshed that exposed the world to
the shocking depravity of terrorists, apparently emboldened by each others acts.
Witnesses told how about 30 gunmen believed to be members of Somali terror
group al-Shabaab arrived in the town in
minibuses at 8 p.m. before bursting into
residents homes, shooting dead any man
they thought was not Muslim.
Like the gunmen who attacked
Nairobis Westgate Mall last year, the
Mpeketoni attackers gave life-or-death
religious assessment, a witness said,
killing those who werent Muslim.
They came to our house at around 8
p.m. and asked us in Swahili whether we
were Muslims, said Anne Gathigi. My
husband told them we were Christians and
they shot him in the head and chest.
The attack was the latest in a string of
bloodthirsty atrocities that took place over
the weekend, spanning two continents
from Kenya to Iraq and raising the spectre
of a new era of barbaric terror that is
sweeping the globe.

The lesson Congress should learn

from the VA scandal
remorse or humility. In recent days he

has led the critics of the Obama administration who insist the current mess in
Meso-potamia is the presidents fault. In
a Wall Street Journal column, Cheney
said of Obama, Rarely has a U.S. president been so wrong about so much at
the expense of so many.
Cheneys hubris has infuriated a lot
of people. Even FOX News interviewer
Megyn Kelly was emboldened to confront Cheney about it. After quoting the
ex-vice-presidents slam against Obama,
Kelly said to Cheney, But time and
time again, history has proven that you
got it wrong, as well, on Iraq, sir. You
said there was no doubt Saddam Hussein
had weapons of mass destruction. You
said we would be greeted as liberators.
You said the Iraq insurgency was in its
last throes back in 2005. And you said
that, after our intervention, extremists
would have to rethink their strategy of
jihad. ... What do you say to those who
say you were so wrong about so much at
the expense of so many?
In response, Cheney rattled off the
same arguments he made to push the war
back in 2003 and indicated he believes
victory was in Americas grasp when he
and George W. Bush left office in 2009.
As Kelly said, history has proven
Cheney got it wrong, over and over
again, but he sure doesnt seem to know
it. Hes the kind of self-blinded prophet
we should wish on the latest invaders in
Iraq.
By Lee Hamilton
Like other federal scandals before it,
the mess involving VA hospitals has followed a welltrod path. First
comes the revelation of misdoing.
Then
comes the reaction: a shocked
public, an administration on
the defensive,
grandstanding
members
of
Congress.
Finally, major
reform bills get Lee Hamilton
introduced,
debated, then put aside when the heat
dies down, or the target agency gets
more money thrown at the problem.
With the VA, were at the reform part
of the cycle. The House and Senate have
each passed their own legislation to fix
the VAs health system, including a massive infusion of money at least $50 billion a year to allow veterans to seek
private health care. Fiscal watchdogs are
crying foul, and the measures have ignited a furious debate over whether
Congress should cut other programs. In
its rush to address public outrage,
Congress is proposing dramatic changes
that could have benefited from more
thorough consideration.
The irony is that this need not have
happened not with the VA, nor with the
IRS or FEMA, or any of the other cases
in recent years where the federal bureaucracy proved to be dysfunctional and
Congress rushed in with a half-baked
fix. Mostly what is needed is for
Congress to do its job properly in the
first place.
This means exercising its oversight
responsibilities and catching problems
before they mushroom. Diligent oversight can repair unresponsive bureaucracies, expose misconduct, and help agencies and departments become more
effective. A lot of federal employees are
doing good work, including at the VA;
Congress needs to encourage that work
while ridding the government of shoddy
practices.
To do this, it first needs to know
whats happening. Each committee and
subcommittee with oversight responsi-

If only ISIS had Dick Cheney in charge
By David Horsey
President Barack Obama is sending
300 American advisers to Iraq to see if
they can help stop an army of Islamic
fanatics from undoing everything the
United States military accomplished in
nearly nine years of warfare. We'll see
how that goes, but it might be even more
effective to send just one guy to give
advice to the Sunni militants: Dick
Cheney.
Im not suggesting the former vice
president would actually wish to advise
the vicious horde who call themselves
the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS)
hes too red, white and true blue for
that but if he could steer them in the
same self-destructive direction that he
steered the USA, hed finally be doing
his country a favor.
As we well know, Cheney was one
of the key architects of the Iraq War,
along with Defense Secretary Donald
Rumsfeld and his assistant, Paul
Wolfowitz. Those three backed by a
supporting cast of chicken hawks in the
media, in the Bush administration and in
various right-of-center think tanks fulfilled a neoconservative dream by concocting excuses to invade Iraq, depose
Saddam Hussein and thereby kick off a
rush toward democracy throughout the
Middle East.
The result was a brief blush of tyrant
toppling and elections followed by anarchy, chaos, instability, terrorism and sectarian bloodletting, from Libya to Syria.
It seems the U.S. spent $2 trillion and
wore out an army trying to defy reality
by peddling the American Way to people
who would rather settle ancient scores
and kill each other.

result, Cheney now shows no sign of

bility should be keeping track on a

close, even intimate basis of the
department and agencies in its purview.
Performance, budget, personnel, management challenges, major and minor
problems: members of Congress ought
to be experts on them all. They should
also listen carefully to their constituents
and interest groups focused on the performance of a particular agency, which
are often in a position to give Congress
valuable information. Understanding the
facts, working cooperatively with the
federal agency, and anticipating problems is a far more useful approach than
Congresss usual pattern of throwing up
its hands at a scandal and blaming
everyone else for the problem. The crush
of demand for VA services in the wake
of two wars was easily foreseeable. Had
Congress been on its toes, it could have
reacted to it.
Congress must also get serious about
reforming the federal bureaucracy. It
needs to be careful not to indulge in
bureaucrat-bashing, but federal managers do need more flexibility with personnel systems than they currently
enjoy. Federal employees deserve to feel
theyre being listened to, respected, and
treated fairly, but management also must
have flexibility to hire and fire, and to
handle personnel problems proactively.
Congress also has to insist that these
agencies are training, recruiting and
retaining the necessary talent.
These are immense agencies. The
VA is the nations largest health-care
system. In 2012, it dealt with 83.6 million outpatient visits. Its proposed budget for 2015 is $164 billion, and it
employs more than 300,000 people. This
is work on a scale most of us can barely
imagine. Mistakes are bound to happen.
This may be an argument for thoroughgoing administrative reform, but it is
also a fact Congress cant ignore: if it
wants federal agencies to work better, it
has to work tirelessly to understand
problems and address them before they
explode. Does the agency have adequate
resources? How can it control bloat and
tighten the gap between the people at the
top and people on the front line? Are
there problems that need addressing
right now? Congress cannot eliminate
politics from this oversight process, but
politics should not drive the whole oversight enterprise.

Old song raises new questions
By Dave Bretl
Im sure that the marketing executives
at Apple were just trying to have a little
fun when they resurrected the song
Chicken Fat to promote their latest
iPhone fitness software. While the song is
probably bewildering to iPhone owners
born during the past forty years, for other
folks, including myself, Chicken Fat
brings back years
of
repressed
childhood memories of grade
school physical
education class.
Long before
there
were
iPhones, digital
music or even
cassette tapes, no
elementary school
gym was complete without a
David Bretl
record
player.
Normally reserved for the unit on square
dancing, for a few years, at least, the
turntable was also put to use during calisthenics.
Calisthenics took place before the
games of dodge ball or scooter hockey
would begin, and the Chicken Fat song
guided participants through such fitness
favorites as toe touches, push-ups and situps.
The song itself has a fascinating history with ties directly to the White House.
After taking office in 1961, President
Kennedy made youth physical fitness a
priority of his administration. Kennedy
created a commission on physical fitness,
enlisting legendary Oklahoma football
coach Bud Wilkinson to lead the effort. In
short order, Broadway composer Meredith
Wilson offered to write the fitness jingle
that eventually became Chicken Fat. No
less a singer than the Music Man himself,
Robert Preston, sang the song. More than
three million copies of Chicken Fat were
shipped to schools around the country,
including my alma mater, Lincoln
Elementary.
Until I saw the Apple commercial, I
can honestly say that I hadnt heard the
song for forty years and, in fact, it took
awhile for me to make the connection to
grade school gym class. The song would
have been about ten years out of date when
I started elementary school and for that
reason, I had my doubts that I actually ever
worked out to Chicken Fat.
Given that our textbooks and the old
travelogues that we used to watch were at
least ten years out of date, the song would
have been consistent with the rest of our
curriculum. I wasnt convinced, however,
until I listened to the long-play version on
YouTube; when I got to the marching-inplace part of the work out, it all came back
to me.
I remember being frustrated because I
could never understand the cadence that
Preston was calling as we dutifully
marched in place (left, left, left a good
pound and a quarter, was it right (left) right
(left) right that it should be left?) Since it
took me forty years to figure out those
lyrics, I can only be grateful that we didnt
have rap back then.
Im sure Im over-analyzing what was
supposed to be a fun song, but Chicken Fat

got me thinking about how much physical
fitness and national politics have changed
since the songs release more than fifty
years ago. For starters, I cant imagine the
effort ever being duplicated today.
Assuming it would even be possible to
enlist contemporary sports and entertainment superstars like Nick Saban, Elton
John and Lady GaGa to produce a fitness
record, our toxic political environment
would make the effort moot. No president
of any party would dare to ship a recording
to every school in the country and ask that
it be played, daily, to a captive audience of
students. Either Fox News or MSNBC
would feature panels of experts who would
find hidden subliminal messages among
the lyrics.
Chicken Fat also shows how radically
our ideas about physical fitness have
changed in recent years. Ten repetitions of
such mundane exercises as push ups and
toe touches, every morning, not just now
and then, are not nearly extreme enough
to market a fitness program.
Why waste your time on a program
that promises weight loss of a good
pound and a quarter through consistent
and sane exercises when it is possible to
lose sixty pounds or more by grinding
through ninety days of Insanity workouts.
Like Robert Prestons marching lyrics,
which I could never understand, I have a
hard time wrapping my head around the
paradox of organized physical fitness
today. Despite the fact that we commit
more time and money to youth sports, diabetes and childhood obesity rates soar.
I am writing this column at a club
swim meet. On a perfect summer weekend, swim parents, like myself, pack into
stifling indoor pools to cheer for their kids.
Some of the athletes, as young as five
years old, compete to make cut times in
order to swim at the next national event.
My son is attending with a less lofty goal;
just to make sure he will have a place on
his high school team in November.
Swimming, and most high school sports,
have become year-round commitments.
I was never much of an athlete in high
school. Years after Chicken Fat, I remember shoveling snow off the Port
Washington municipal tennis courts to
start our high school season. There were
rumors then that kids at some of the suburban schools actually played tennis indoors,
year-round. We would quarrel on this
point, but, fortunately, never solved the
mystery of why we would lose 6-0, 6-0 in
every match that we ever played against
teams like Nicolet and Brookfield. If we
had played a decade later, our parents
might have driven us to indoor tennis lessons, although I think they were probably
too sensible to do that. I might have won a
few more games, but I doubt that I would
be playing at Wimbledon today.
If you have one too many hot dogs at
your Independence Day party, consider the
Chicken Fat workout on July 5th. And if
Lady Ga Ga records a new fitness jingle,
you read it here first.
The opinions expressed in these
columns are those of the author and not
necessarily those of the Walworth County
Board of Supervisors.

Park carefully this summer,

your dogs life depends on it
By Lindsay Pollard-Post
Parking carelessly this summer could
result in more than a ticket. It could cost
a life and land you behind bars if you
leave your dog in your vehicle.
In Texas, a man allegedly left his dog
to bake in a locked SUV on a 90-degree
day while he cooled off at a water park.
A caring passer-by spotted the dog and
called the police. She also posted a
photo of the distressed dog on Facebook,
which prompted nearly a dozen people
to rush to the scene, some armed with
bricks and hammers to smash a window
if necessary. Thankfully, a park employee was able to squeeze his hand through
a tiny crack in the window to open the
door. The dog survived, and the man
responsible was arrested and booked on
cruelty charges.
Cops are cracking down on people
who leave their pups in parked cars, and
they arent buying ignorance as an
excuse. In California, a dog reportedly
died after being left in a pickup truck cab
in a motel parking lot for at least seven
hours in high temperatures. The dogs
owner, who was sleeping inside the
motel, was arrested and booked into jail
on suspicion of felony cruelty to animals.
In Oregon, a woman was arrested on
three counts of first-degree animal neglect after she allegedly left three dogs in
a car in a restaurant parking lot for nearly four hours, killing all three of them. If
convicted, she faces $18,000 in fines,
jail time and/or a five-year ban on having a dog.
Leaving a dog or any living being in
a parked car on a warm day isnt much
different from putting him or her in a hot
oven. On a 78-degree day, the temperature inside a parked car can soar to 120
degrees in minutes, and on a 90-degree
day, the interior temperature can reach
160 degrees in less than 10 minutes.
People who think their dog will be fine
in the car while they make a quick
stop at the store or the bank are dead
wrong. Parking in the shade, leaving the
windows partly open and/or leaving
water in the vehicle will not keep vehicles cool enough to be safe, either.
Trapped in a steaming car with only
hot air to breathe, dogs can suffer heat-
stroke in just 15 minutes, resulting in

brain damage or death. Its a terrifying,
painful way to die: As panic sets in, dogs
frantically attempt to escape the roasting-hot vehicle by clawing at the windows or digging at the floor or seats _
but this only makes them hotter. As the
dogs organs begin to die, they lose control of their bowels, vomit, collapse and
lose consciousness. Some dogs suffer
heart attacks.
Dogs are especially vulnerable to
heatstroke because their only means of
cooling themselves is by perspiring a little bit through their footpads and by
panting. Thats why its so important to
be on the lookout for dogs who are
trapped in hot cars. If you see one, have
the owner paged inside the nearest store
or call local animal control authorities or
police immediately. Like the Good
Samaritan who called the police for the
dog trapped at the water park, you could
save a life.
If a dog is showing signs of heatstroke restlessness, excessive thirst,
heavy panting, lethargy, dark tongue,
vomiting and/or lack of coordination
get him or her into the shade immediately and call 911. Lower the animals body
temperature gradually by providing
water to drink; applying a cold towel or
ice pack to the head, neck and chest; or
immersing the dog in lukewarm (not icecold) water. Rush the animal to a veterinarian.
When temperatures warm up, no
amount of time in a parked car is safe for
dogs. So this summer, practice safe
parking: When youre running errands,
leave your canine companion at home,
with air conditioning or fans running
and plenty of fresh, cool water available
and always make sure that no one is
left behind in the car when you park.

Rainy June not wettest on record

By Michael Leland
While the month of June has been a
very rainy month for much of
Wisconsin, its far from the rainiest on
record, according to weather officials.
For much of southern Wisconsin, theres
been some rain roughly every other day
in June. Rainfall totals include about 5
inches in La Crosse, 6 inches in
Milwaukee and about 7 inches in
Madison and Eau Claire.
But, it has been far from the rainiest
June.
Denny Van Cleve, of the National
Weather Service in Sullivan, said it hasnt even been as rainy as last June.
Actually, last year in Madison was
our second-rainiest June on record, he
said. It fell just shy of the record of
nearly 11 inches. That was in 2008.
Many people probably remember the
flooding of 2008, especially near the
(Wisconsin) Dells area.
Junes rain has been good for farm

crops throughout Wisconsin. And, no
part of the state is currently in any stage
of drought.
The old saying is, rain makes
grain, and theres lot of truth to that,
said Vance Haugen, an agriculture agent
with the University of Wisconsin
Cooperative Extension Service in
Crawford County.
Haugen said the rains have been a
great recharge for the soil, and offer a
little bit of insurance for the rest of the
summer.
So, even if it were to get really dry,
wed do pretty well. Now, obviously we
cant turn the spigot off. As the crops get
taller, they take more moisture, he said.
The National Weather Service outlook said theres currently an equal
chance of the rest of Wisconsins summer being wetter or drier than normal.

State legislators accepted two-thirds
of their campaign donations from donors
who could not vote for them, according
to new research.
Mike Buelow, research director for
the nonpartisan Wisconsin Democracy
Campaign, said this sets up a situation of
conflicting dependency, where people
may not be getting what they should
from their elected representative.
Theres a good possibility that legislators have a greater dependency on
their cash constituents than they do on
their voting constituents, if only onethird of the money in large individual
contributions that they get is coming
from voters in their district, he said.
This is true of both parties, Buelow
said. Republicans accepted a larger total
amount than Democrats because there
are more of them in the Legislature, but
Buelow said the percentages are nearly
the same.
Its almost exactly two-thirds to
one-third in both parties, he said. I
think the percentage came out to 64 percent of the money collected by
Republicans and Democrats came from
outside their district.
Legislative leadership in both parties
got the lions share of donations, according to Buelow, who said thats not sur-
prising. Senate Majority Leader Scott

Fitzgerald, R-Juneau, took in more than
any other Republican. Buelow said that
amounted to $137,192 of his total take
of $150,000; he got 91 percent of his
large individual contributions from outside of his district.
The leading Democrat was Rep. Jon
Richards of Milwaukee, who is running
for attorney general this fall. Buelow
said Richards took in $61,958 in total
large individual contributions, and he
raised 69 percent of that cash from outside his district.
According to the Wisconsin
Democracy Campaign, our government
was designed to hold our representatives
accountable to the constituents who can
vote for them rather than to wealthy contributors who dont even live in their district and are not eligible to vote for them.
DNR Secretary confirms that Legislators getting money from

wolf hunt opponents were
removed from committee
By Chuck Quirmbach
Department of Natural Resources
Secretary Cathy Stepp revealed at a
DNR Board meeting on June 25 that the
agency removed people who were
staunchly opposed to wolf hunting from
the states Wolf Advisory Committee.
While a lot of the public discussion
during the meeting was about a new
wolf hunting quota, some of it was also
about a change over the past two years in
the makeup of the DNRs advisory committee on wolves.
Stepp confirmed what her critics
have alleged: that wolf hunting opponents were by and large kicked off the
committee.
When were charged to manage and
to implement a hunt, coming in and
telling us, Dont hunt wolves, is not a
productive way to run a committee,
frankly, said Stepp. Thats just the
candid way to lay it out. We had to have
people who were willing to work with us
in partnership, and be willing to help us
and advise us along the way in imple-
menting state law.

Rachel Tilseth of Wolves of Douglas
County Wisconsin was a volunteer DNR
tracker of wolves for about a dozen winters, and attended a few meetings of
what used to be called the Wisconsin
Wolf Stakeholders Group. Tilseth testified about the wolf hunt proposal during
the recent meeting.
She later said she didnt care for
Stepps remarks.
I was just appalled that somebody
like Cathy Stepp, whos in charge of this
important issue, is saying something like
that, said Tilseth. It sounds to me like
its a committee that they want made up
of wolf-killers.
Several DNR staff are on the recently created Wolf Advisory Committee, as
are representatives of several pro-hunting groups. A smaller number of wolf
hunting skeptics also remain on the
committee, including a representative of
the Great Lakes Indian Fish and Wildlife
Commission.

Coke truck delivers nostalgia

By Jim McClure
Seen Your Correspondent
These days, soda and beer are delivered in giant trucks armored like rolling
tanks dispensing round after round of
six-packed hops, grains and syrup-laced
water by the carton.
Older Baby Boomers may vaguely
recall bottles that came out of roadside
refrigerators and upstanding vending
machines in freestanding gas stations.
But hardly anyone recalls the trucks that
delivered them in the 1960s, much less
the first gas powered conveyance for
the cola beverage that debuted in 1890
long before the horseless carriage.
Delavans John Jarosz owns a fourwheeled time machine that takes Walworth County fair and antique show
attendees back to a time when just about
everything was delivered in Ford Model
A Trucks.
They were a practical and economical vehicle mostly used by farmers and
individual businesses, says Jarosz. It
was a great way to get your products or
goods to market.
Jarosz and his parents, longtime collectors and restorers of vintage automobiles and motorboats, knew this Coke
conveyance was the real thing when
they spotted it in Iowa.
They have more than two dozen
Model As lined up in their storage sheds
and this 1931 model restored to look like
a Prohibition era soda runner may soon
have a cousin.
Well be buying another one just
like it, said Jarosz. We may customize
it to look just like this one. For sale?
This one isnt, the new one will be. We
have too much fun with this to let it go.
People love the 1930s Coca-Cola
truck so much they often offer to buy it
on the spot, as one couple from out of
state did even during the ten minutes
when Jarosz pulled the Model A out of
the antique barn museum.
Up at the County Fair last year I was
getting offers to buy the bottles of vin-
tage Coke for $20 each! laughs Jarosz.

But we grabbed a few cases of discount
soda from Wal-mart and handed it out
free to everyone who visited. We made a
lot of friends that day.
The antique car museum is part of a
large storage and refinishing complex
east of County Highway F on Highway
50. Theres lots of storage for boats and
automobiles and lots of work to do on
them as well.
One of the sheds is where Jarosz
does his detail work rebuilding and renovating classic wood motorboats like the
vintage Chris-Crafts of old that plied
Midwestern lakes back in the
Depression. Surprisingly, none of the
boats or cars at Delavan Lake Boat Shed
and Antique Car Museum have ever
appeared in a motion picture. Not that
Hollywood producers wouldnt jump at
the chance.
I never really thought about that,
said Jarosz. Were kind of out of the
way here, but I might give it thought in
the future. Time is a big factor.
He doesnt have much.
We keep pretty busy, youll usually
find me here seven days a week, says
Jarosz, who calls himself a Delavan
native through and through. In my
entire life Ive always lived in basically
a three-square mile area here.
The Model A Coke truck doesnt
travel much farther. To keep it in pristine
condition Jarosz only drives it to events
within Walworth County, like the recent
Sharon Model A Days and the upcoming
Walworth County Fair.
The underside is painted and in perfect condition just like the rest of the
vehicle. Thats another big reason I
dont like to drive it over the roads any
more than I have to.
Even at the side of the road, the
Model A Coca-Cola delivery truck is an
attraction in itself.

every day of the week. Phone 728-5438

Storkmobiles land in Walworth County
By Jim McClure
More than a few flocks of birds have
returned to Walworth Country as the
migratory season ends for everything from
Canada Geese to dual-state resident
snowbirds from Florida.
But the latest group to arrive on the
wing were two storks powered by diesel
engines and a vision to provide a safe nest
for underprivileged and at-risk women in
need of care and support.
The Stork Buses came two by two
seeking funding and support for the program that provides direct and lasting support for women in crises pregnancies who
may have nowhere else to turn for help.
The Colorado-based non-profit Save the
Storks organization is establishing a
nationwide fleet of the vehicles that has
been growing at the rate of one Stork Bus
per month since January.
About a dozen have been built or are in
production and two dozen more are in the
works through 2015.
Each of the mobile units provides
comfortable state-of-the-art medical facili-
ties to offer free sonograms and, in many

cases, hope, to pregnant women with no
resources.
Joe Baker, an entrepreneur who founded the program, says he felt called to help
women who are alone and afraid, and not
sure whether to keep their baby.
The number one thing is just having
someone there to support you, explains
Baker, who makes sure the vans are staffed
with medical experts and counselors.
Secondly we bring resources and continue that support to let the mother know she
has help for the long haul. Resources
include diapers, formula and, in some
cases, shelter. Much of the sustaining support and ongoing care comes from the
local pregnancy centers and churches that
team with Save the Storks.
The third part of the Stork Buses mission is the free sonogram.
Thats where amazing things happen, including the smiles and the loss of
a sense of hopelessness, says Baker,
who stopped with his team in Williams
Bay along Highway 50 at Calvary
Save The Storks founder Joe Baker and Executive Assistant Diane Maples
welcome visitors to the state of the art Save The Storks van, which among other services, provides expectant mothers with sonograms.
(Beacon photo)
Two Save The Storks vans recently stopped at Calvary Community Church in
Williams Bay on their way across the country to the Carolinas. They will return through
Hebron, Ill., on their way to Colorado in July.
(Beacon photo)
Community Church enroute from

Colorado to the Carolinas with a return
journey through Hebron, Ill. coming by
early July. These women feel cornered, adds Baker.
Three out of Five women decide to
keep their baby after seeing the sonogram, notes Save the Storks Executive
Assistant Diane Maples.
Every space in the Mercedes-Benz
Sprinter vans is custom built so counselors
and sonographers can professionally and
easily care for the women seeking care.
Along with a modern medical exam
table, the appointments include a luxury
private bathroom and sink, seats with
warmers and massagers to help the clients
feel calm and comfortable. Wi-Fi and
computer connections make it possible to
submit results directly to partnering doctors in the community.
The diesel engine gets more than 20
miles to the gallon and efficiently powers
a bank of built-in batteries that will keep
the whole unit running quietly for seven
hours without having to start the engine or
plug into an external source.
Women who take advantage of the free
pregnancy testing, sonograms and
resources get a new outlook on life and

their babys life.
The statistics are striking, says
Maples. Save the Storks says that three out
of five women who have the sonogram
decide to keep their baby. The organization
also quotes figures that 84 percent of
post-abortive women say they felt that
abortion was their only option.
The Stork buses cost about $100,000
each. In seeking donations nationwide as
he travels, Save the Storks founder Baker
says it costs about $30 a month to save a
stork, and, according to the fact sheets
passed out at tableside displays alongside
the traveling vans as they visit churches,
hospitals and university campuses, For us
a stork represents an expectant mother.
Our ministry is focused on loving and
serving mothers and not just children. It is
by rescuing the mother that we also save
her child.
There are no immediate plans in the
Geneva Lakes area for Stork Buses to be
based here, but they do visit several times
a year.
Someday we want to have one in
every major city says Baker of the nationwide effort.

Q: Is dentistry a relatively modern

science?
A: Though your dentists office
gleams with the equipment and technology of the 21st century, the fact is that
humans have been studying teeth since
at least 5000 B.C., a period during which
people thought tooth decay was caused
by tiny creatures called tooth worms. A
Sumerian text dating to around 5000
B.C. mentions them. Here are some
other interesting dental history facts:
In 1760, a fellow named John
Baker emigrated from England to
America and became the earliest medically trained dentist to practice here.
Around the time of the American
Revolution, Paul Revere, a silversmith
better known, of course, for his midnight
ride, advertised in a Boston newspaper,
offering his services as a dentist. Revere,
in fact, is the first person known to have
used dental forensics to identify a body,
in the case of a colonial colonel killed at
the Battle of Bunker Hill.

In 1790, Josia Flagg, an American
dentist, developed the first dental chair.
Flagg attached an adjustable headrest
and a tray to hold dental equipment to a
wooden Windsor chair.
The worlds first dental school
opened in Baltimore in 1840.
In 1859, 26 dentists met at Niagara
Falls, N.Y., and started the American
Dental Association for the exchange of
information.

advances in dental technology he or she
has seen over the years.

Mow-torist injured in freak crash

According to an article in the
Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, a 31-yearold Saukville motorcyclist and a 41year-old Grafton man on a lawn mower
were injured in a crash in Grafton.
A group of motorcyclists were cresting the hill on Pleasant Valley Road near
Green Bay Road about 7 p.m. when one
of them hit a lawn tractor that was crossing the road.
A helicopter was called to take the

injured motorcyclist and lawn mower
driver to a hospital, but was canceled
because of the fog, officials said. The
two were taken to the hospital by ambulance instead. The motorcyclist was not
wearing a helmet, according to the sheriff's department. There is no word as to
whether the man on the lawn mower was
wearing a helmet or seat belt.

Sen. Johnson says his vote against

the VA bill wasnt anti-veteran vote
By Mike Simonson
U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson said his
recent vote against a bill giving more
funding to the U.S. Veterans Administration was a good one even though
hes taking heat for it.
During a town hall meeting in
Superior on June 27, Johnson, R-Wis.,
spoke about the vote. He was one of just
three senators who voted against the VA
bill overhaul.
I didn't vote against vets, he said.
What I voted for is: Time out! Lets figure out what the true cost of this bill is.
Johnson said that he felt the measure
was rushed to the Senate floor. He said
that he and others had received a letter
the Congressional Budget Office sent to
U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., that said
over [a period of] 10 years, if the bill
became law, it would cost $435 billion.
Theres nothing to pay for it, nothing to offset it, he said.
Wisconsin Democratic Party Chairman Mike Tate called Johnsons vote a
radical, Ayn-Rand-ian brand of extrem-
ism to [assuage] the Tea Party.

Johnson said hell take the criticism,
and he believes most veterans support
his vote.
Vets dont want to impoverish or
bankrupt this nation or mortgage our
childrens future. So once theyve understood it, weve got really nothing but
positive feedback, he said. There are a
couple of people (who) dont understand
it. A couple of groups that arent really
looking at the truth of the matter are
issuing some pretty nasty press releases,
but thats just part of the process. It
doesnt bother me.
The VA bill is designed to shorten
waiting lists and provide more medical
staff to VA clinics and hospitals. The
measure passed the U.S. Senate 93-3
earlier this month, and passed the House
after that. But the bill must still go to a
conference committee before it goes to
President Barack Obama.
Johnson predicts the House will not
go along with the Senate bill.

Mercy fund helps local

children with autism
Autism affects one in 68 children,

and more children will be diagnosed
with autism this year than with AIDS,
diabetes and cancer combined. Autism is
the fastest growing serious developmental disability in the United States. There
is no medical detection or cure; its presence is growing at an overwhelming
rate, and the families affected by autism
struggle to provide the quality care their
children need because of the staggering
costs and lack of insurance coverage.
To help, the Mercy Foundation created the Autism Support Fund (ASF),
which provides financial resources to
families affected by Autism Spectrum
Disorder in Walworth County. Resources are used to pay for social skills
classes, sensory and safety equipment,
respite care and more.
The ASF allows us to address the
needs of families of autistic children with-
in Walworth County, said Jennifer Johns,

development director, Mercy Foundation.
Our goal is to provide programming that
assures children who are suffering with
ASD have access to the quality, comprehensive and passionate care they so desperately need and deserve.
Mercy Foundation is accepting grant
applications for its Autism Support
Fund, which offers the financial means
to help families who live with or care for
children with autism.
To qualify, all applicants must present documentation of a verified diagnosis of an autism spectrum disorder, a
completed application and necessary
financial documentation on or before
July 31. Applicants must be also be
Walworth County residents. To download the application, visit MercyHealth
System.org/foundation or call Jennifer
Johns at (608) 755-8821.

Jaycees donate to Beat the Heat

The Lake Geneva Jaycees is giving
back to the community with a donation
of $1,000 to Beat the Heat.
Beat the Heat is a program implemented in the Walworth/Racine County
area in 1992 by Officer Giovannoni of
the City of Lake Geneva Police
Department. The program is officially
known as Southeast Wisconsin Beat the
Heat.
The program was adapted from a
similar one that was begun back in the
1970s in California. Several Beat the
Heat programs have since spread
throughout the country as a result.
Beat the Heat is a program
designed primarily to educate area youth
about the dangers of the use of alcohol
and other drugs while operating a motor
vehicle. The program also gives

teenagers aged 16-20 the opportunity to
race their own cars against law enforcement in a safe and controlled environment.
What began as a tool to keep kids off
drugs has evolved into a program that
also keeps kids from illegally drag racing, which is equally as dangerous.
Rather than street racing, which poses a
huge risk for those participants, as well
as innocent bystanders, teenagers in the
program have a rare opportunity to race
in a safe, fun and completely legal environment.
Beat the Heat takes place monthly
during the Spring/Summer racing season
at Great Lakes Dragaway in Union
Grove.

Benefit Ball raises $141,000 for

cardiac support units in county
The 29th Annual Benefit Ball, which

was held on Saturday, May 10 at Geneva
National in Lake Geneva, raised
$141,000 to support Project Lifesaver.
The Aurora Lakeland Medical Center
fundraiser will help purchase 16 non-
invasive cardiac support units for emergency medical providers in Walworth

County. These mechanical CPR devices
provide continuous chest compressions
for people in a cardiac emergency.
In the space of just three days:

Images of Iraqi men being rounded
up at gunpoint, beaten, herded like cattle
into lorries and shot dead in a ditch by a
row of masked ISIS fanatics sent shockwaves across the world.
Taliban insurgents sliced off the fingers of 11 people as punishment for voting
in Afghanistans democratic presidential
election while 60 people were killed in a
series of rocket barrages and scattered
attacks
The desperate search continued for
three Israeli teenagers allegedly kidnapped
by Hamas militants as more than 150 suspects were arrested in relation to the
abduction.
Nigerias former president admitted
that the 200 schoolgirls abducted by Boko
Haram militants two months ago may
never be found.
Pakistani jets killed 37 militants in
retaliatory airstrikes on June 16, a week
after Taliban insurgents stormed Karachi
airport and opened fire in a commandostyle attack that left 38 people dead.
Over the past month, world media has
been awash with gruesome images depicting insurgent barbarism whether in Iraq,
Afghanistan, Kenya, Palestine or Syria.
So people throughout the civilized
world look with horror at these happenings
in Muslim countries and ask how the people
in these nations can claim to be civilized
when such things are allowed to happen.
Of course the problems are not relegated to Muslims. Religious fundamentalists
[more correctly called fanatics] of all
stripes have caused problems throughout
history.
Its easy for us in the United States to
look down our noses at countries that are
plagued by violence caused by religious
differences. Except for some Christian fundamentalists who bilk the unwary of their
life savings and others who picket funerals
of fallen soldiers, our Constitutions freedom of religion clause has protected us
from the worst abuses.
But people in the rest of the world look

at what is happening in the U.S. with gun
violence and shake their heads in dismay.
According to an article by MCT News
Service, the fatal shooting in the state of
Oregon on June 10 was the 31st firearms
attack at a U.S. school since the start of the
year, marking a sharp acceleration in the
rash of violence that has occurred on campuses across the nation.
These incidents have become so common that on June 10 the reaction of several television news anchor teams was,
Another day, another school shooting.
And lets not forget the shootings at
movie theaters, shopping malls and other
public places that have taken place in the
recent past. Cities like Chicago, Detroit
and Rockford, Ill. have turned into shooting galleries.
But its not just about guns. There have
been a large number of violent crimes
committed using knives.
The problem isnt with the weapons as
much as it is with the attitudes that range
from disenchantment to rage. Movies, television and video games promote violent acts.
Guns simply make them easier to carry out.
At the risk of sounding like an old fogey,
all one has to do is watch television to see
that there is something terribly wrong with
our society. Bad behavior is rewarded as
never before and young people have fewer
good examples than ever. If film, television
and video game producers dont begin to
act responsibly, nothing will change.
Perhaps the world isnt any worse than
it has ever been. Maybe its the 24-hour
news cycle, smart phones and tablets that
make us more aware of the terrible things
that go on around us.
The question is, Now that we are
aware of these behaviors, what, if anything, will we do about them?
Wed like to think that things have
improved since the Middle Ages. Unfortunately, in many parts of the word, they
havent. Our apologies to the millions of
Muslims who follow the peaceful teachings of their prophet. We do, however,
wish they would speak out more loudly
against the terrorism that is, erroneously,
practiced in his name.

Be Careful in Hot Weather
Warm summer days generally mean

more time outdoors. Its important,
however, to prevent health problems
that can be caused by hot weather.
Hyperthermia is a general term for a
number of different heat-related illnesses. The healthy human body maintains a
steady temperature of 98.6 degrees
Fahrenheit (F). In hot weather, the
bodys natural response is to perspire.
As the sweat evaporates from the surface of the skin, the body is cooled.
However, when hot weather places a
strain on the body and environmental
temperature is greater than body surface
temperature, the body may lose its ability to compensate effectively, resulting
in hyperthermia.
The two types of hyperthermia most
common diagnosed are heat exhaustion
and heat stroke. Heat exhaustion may
make a person feel thirsty, giddy, weak,
uncoordinated, and nauseous and may
cause profuse sweating. The skin feels
cold and clammy and the body temperature is normal with a normal or
increased heart rate. This is a serious
warning that the body is becoming too
hot.
Heat stroke is a life-threatening condition requiring immediate medical
attention to prevent death. In heat
stroke, the individuals body temperature rises to over 104 degrees F, confusion may set in, and the person may
become combative, exhibit unusual
behavior and feel faint. The persons
pulse is rapid and strong, the skin is dry
and flushed with an absence of sweating, and, eventually, delirium or coma
may occur.
Who is at risk for hyperthermia?
Hyperthermia-related death is increased when the bodys tolerance to
heat is decreased due to other illness.
Other health factors that may
increase risk include:
circulatory problems
heart, lung and kidney disease
any illness causing general weakness or fever
hypertension or other conditions
requiring salt-restricted diets
being significantly overweight or
underweight
drinking alcoholic beverages
Certain drugs, both prescription and
over-the-counter, may also increase
sensitivity to sunlight and heat. These
may include: antihistamines; coal and
tar derivatives, such as those found in
some dandruff shampoos; oral contraceptives containing estrogen; nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs; phenothiazines; sulfonylureas (oral antidiabetic and hypoglycemics); thiazide
diuretics; tetracycline antibiotics and
tricyclic antidepressants. These drugs
may increase or decrease the bodys
ability to sweat, increase photosensitivity and/or reduce the bodys normal
supply of salt or water.

Lifestyle factors contributing to
hyperthermia include:
hot living quarters
lack of transportation to travel to
cooler places
overdressing
not understanding the effects of
heat and humidity
The best prevention against accidental hyperthermia is to remain indoors in
an air-conditioned room during times of
hot weather and high humidity.
Other measures to reduce heat stress
are:
If your home is without air-conditioning or fans, open windows at night,
shade them during the day and open the
windows on opposite sides of the house
for cross-ventilation.
Go to a cool public place during
the hottest hours.
Take a cool bath or shower, or
place cool, wet towels on the body.
Wear lightweight, loose-fitting,
light-colored clothing made from a natural fabric such as cotton that will allow
sweat to evaporate.
Drink plenty of cool liquids to
replace fluids lost through sweating.
Keep in mind that caffeinated and alcohol beverages may act as a diuretic,
causing you to lose fluid faster.
Stay out of direct sunlight, particularly between 10 a.m.-3 p.m., avoiding
strenuous activity. Use a sunscreen with
a sun protection factor of at least 15
when outside.
Avoid overcrowded places and
rush-hour traffic. Know the side effects
of all of your medications, both prescription and over-the-counter.
Take heat seriously! Anyone showing danger signs of nausea, dizziness,
headache and fatigue after exposure to
heat probably has some degree of
hyperthermia.
Heat exhaustion may be treated by:
Removing the person from the sun
and into a cool place to rest, preferably
into air-conditioning.
Encouraging the person to drink
fluids, especially water and fruit or
vegetable juices.
Encouraging a cool bath or
sponge-down with cool water.
With your knowledge of hot weather hazards and preventive measures as
part of your daily routine, your summer
can be healthy, safe and enjoyable.

We just called her Mom
By Marjie Reed
Once in a while, we meet someone
whose life has touched millions of others for good, and we wish we could be
like them.
If we are the daughter of a person
who has touched
the lives of millions, we say,
Wow,
Mom,
youre a hard act
to follow.
My mother,
Nina Peterman,
was one such
person.
My
father
died when mom
was only 42, and
Marjie Reed
having accepted
Jesus Christ as her personal Savior, she
wanted to be a missionary. Realizing
going to another country was not feasible with my two older brothers and me
to care for, she got a burden* for the
souls of the people in Philadelphia,
about 40 miles from our home.
At the same time, the Philadelphia
Bible Society needed a person to work
for them giving out small books of the
Bible from bed to bed in Philadelphia
hospitals and nursing homes, but there
was no pay. Mom took the job on faith
and for 35 years never looked back. No
one loved her job as Mom did.
A few years ago we went through the
reports of her ministry and found she
had personally handed out more than
two million Bibles in the hospitals.
Many people asked her to pray with
them, which she did happily.
In the city, she was touched by the
plight of the homeless she passed every
day. She began to ask for blankets and
other warm items at church and loaded
her car. During the week, she would stop
and give out what she had to those in
need.
Realizing these people had little
food, she began buying what she could
afford. On Sundays after church she
would return to Philadelphia to the
alleys and look for people. Often they
were sleeping in large boxes and she
would respectfully knock on their box
and ask if they would like something to
eat and some hot coffee. She got few
turndowns. The people would gather on
a curb and mom handed out whatever
food she had and as they ate she sat with
them on the curb and read from the Bible
about how Jesus loved them and had
died and rose from the dead for them.
She did this alone for many years;
then the Philadelphia Committee to End
Homelessness was organized and she
went out with them on many nights to
feed the homeless.
Then she had a burden for the souls
of prisoners and on Saturday mornings
she joined a Christian group that held
Bible studies for juveniles at the Youth
Study Center in Philadelphia.
After the famed politician, Charles
Colson, went to prison and became a

Christian, he founded Charles Colson
Prison Ministries and for years Mom
and my aunt became regular volunteers
every Monday night helping to conduct
Bible studies in Chester County Prison.
Mom rode the Philadelphia subways
handing out her small Bibles, and
became burdened at the crime rate and
disrepair in the subway cars. She started
to pray for a change.
Along the ceiling of the subway cars
there are car cards advertising
lawyers, etc, and Mom saw an opportunity.
Having been a commercial artist in her
youth (she actually helped design the
original Wonder Bread wrapper that is
not much different now), she designed a
car card that said, God is watching all
that happens in this car. She had teamed
up with Philadelphias Teen Challenge
Ministry and she and director Bill Drury
went to the city with their idea.
Moms slogan when a new, seemingly impossible, idea came to her was
always Its not that we cant do this, but
rather, to do this, it will take patience,
money, time, effort and faith.
Mom and Teen Challenge gave all
they could towards the project, and
prayed for the rest of the money and in a
year or so, every subway car in Philadelphia had the card installed on the
bottom of which was a Bible verse and
the address of Teen Challenge. Mom did
what God told her to do and left the
results to Him.
We kids had our hands full when
Mom saw no problem putting her home
phone number on the sign so that anyone
who wanted to could call and talk about
the Lord with her.
Two instances where God cared for
her are vivid in my mind to this day.
One day she was in a parking lot and
she forgot two cardinal rules of city life.
Dont have a wallet in sight and dont
have a window down. Before she knew
it, a man was at her window and had a
knife poised at her chest.
Give me your money! he said as he
grabbed the wallet.
Listen! she said, I live out in the
country and need three of those dollars
back for gas!
The man was so startled at her lack
of fear, his eyes opened wide and putting
his knife down, he fished in her wallet
and threw three dollars back in the car.
He got away with $5.
She needed a new tire and went to
her usual garage. After a week of many
40 mile trips to and from the city on
major highways, the tire just didnt feel
right so she returned to the garage. After
popping the hubcap the man walked up
to the owner with a sheet-white face.
Boss, you wont believe this, but
there are no lug nuts on that tire not
one! The holes have been worn into
ovals. I cant imagine what kept that tire
on.

Consumers cautioned to
dispose of rodenticides safely
Consumers who want to get rid of dCon mouse and rat poisons that are
being phased out can take the products to
local household hazardous waste collection sites. In communities that do not
offer collection sites, they should contact
their local waste disposal programs for
direction, state pesticide regulators say.
The U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency recently announced that manufacturer Reckitt Benckiser Inc. will phase out
production of 12 d-Con products in the
coming months and stop production by
Dec. 31. The company will stop distribution to retailers by March 31, 2015.
Stores may continue to sell whatever
stocks they have, and consumers may continue to use the products as long as they
follow label directions.
The products are being phased out
because they do not meet current EPA
standards. Mouse and rat poisons, called
rodenticides, must be housed in a bait
station so that children, pets and wildlife
cannot access them. None of the products
on the phase-out list is housed in a bait
station. Any d-Con products that are
housed in bait stations will still be available.
Even though consumers can continue
to use these products until they are no
longer available, we anticipate that many
people will be unwilling to do so, now that
they have been alerted to the risk, said
Lori Bowman, director of the Bureau of
Agrichemical Management in the
Wisconsin Department of Agriculture,
Trade and Consumer Protection. We want
to be sure they dispose of the products
safely. Do not discard them outdoors, and
do not flush them down sinks or toilets.
Find out where you can safely dispose of
household hazardous waste in your community, and use that service.

A partial list of household hazardous
waste collections in Wisconsin is available
at http://datcp.wi.gov/Environment/Clean
_Sweep. These are collections in communities that received Clean Sweep grants
from DATCP. Other communities may
also hold collections, or have year-round
drop-off sites.
The products being phased out are:
d-Con Concentrate Kills Rats & Mice
d-Con Ready Mixed Kills Rats &
Mice
d-Con Mouse Prufe Kills Mice
d-Con Pellets Kills Rats& Mice
d-Con Mouse Prufe II
d-Con Pellets Generation II
d-Con Bait Pellets II
d-Con Ready Mixed Generation II
d-Con Mouse-Prufe III
d-Con Bait Pellets III
d-Con II Ready Mix Baitbits III
d-Con Bait Packs III
Some people probably will want to get
rid of their remaining rodent poisons as
soon as theyre aware of the risk, adds
Gilson, urging them to dispose of the products safely so they don't present hazards to
people, animals or the environment. She
says it just isnt smart to keep loose rodenticide pellets around the house.
Children can get into it very easily,
pets can get into it, wildlife can get into it,
she notes. And so, the new EPA standard
is that all those rodenticides have to be
housed in some kind of a station that a
mouse or a rat can get into, but children,
pets and wild animals cant.
More information about EPAs rodenticide regulations is online at www2.epa.

The mourning dove is Wisconsins state peace symbol, but the DNR continues
to encourage hunters to kill them, even extending the season. (Photo: Texas Eagle)
Dove-killing season will last

twenty more days this year
By Chuck Quirmbach
The mourning dove is Wisconsin's
symbol of peace, but a little over a
decade ago, the state passed a controversial plan to give hunters 70 days to shoot
the doves each fall. A Republican state
lawmaker memorably served a meal of
cooked doves in the state Capitol in the
midst of that debate.
Now, the Department of Natural
Resources Board has decided to
expand the mourning dove season to
90 days, adding 20 days in November.
George Meyer of the Wisconsin
Wildlife Federation said that probably
not too many birds will be shot during
that extra time, and that hunting hasnt
harmed the mourning dove population

anyway.
Out of the 3 to 4 million doves in
the state, 100,000 have been harvested,
so it has had a minimal impact on the
population, he said.
Meyer also supported another
change the DNR passed on June 26 that
created a teal-only early duck hunting
season beginning on Sept. 1.
Meyer said that since Sept. 1 is also
Labor Day, some anglers and recreational boaters will also be out on the water,
especially along the Mississippi River.
He urged DNR conservation wardens to
monitor any conflicts.

providing $1 million to find possible
therapies for Alzheimers.
Sterling Johnson, a UW geriatrics
professor, oversees a study that started
in 2001 to focus on those with a family
history of Alzheimer's.
Over the past 14 years or so, the
field has really advanced in a dramatic
way, and we can now use imaging and
spinal fluid techniques to understand the
pathology in Alzheimers, Johnson
said. And thats how we know that this
disease occurs well before symptoms
occur.
He said biomarkers, or biological

indicators of disease or condition, found
through imaging and spinal fluid can be
a helpful addition to more traditional
measures of identifying Alzheimers,
such as comprehension and memory
testing.
We use cognition as the outcome in
a clinical trial that may have quite a bit
of measurement variability because cognition is affected by how much sleep you
had the night before, how anxious you
are, the medicines you are taking," he
said But, these biomarkers are much
more stable and precise. And so, by
using these things as outcome in (clinical) trials, we can actually use fewer
subjects and get to answers faster.
Johnson said there are people who
have signs of Alzheimers in their brain
but have no symptoms of dementia. Part
of the study involves whether lifestyle
and genetics foster this resilience.

A Mothers Heart
If you knew Mrs. Peterman like I

do, the boss said, Youd know that
God kept that tire on for her.
Ive only picked the highest lights
of moms ministry to write about. You
can see that with a mom who served God
with all her heart, soul and might, she
was a hard act to follow.
The day I rather dejectedly told her
she was a hard act to follow, she replied,
Marjie, first of all, I am no act. I just do
what God lays on my heart to do day by
day. Second of all, I dont want you to
follow me. You follow God and do what
He tells you to do. How those words
gave me freedom to become a writer,
where I felt my talents lay.
She had so many friends she prayed
for and kept in contact with through the
years, that I wrote 75 letters of thanks to
them for their faithfulness to her, and I
still have a few more to write.
In the next issue I will tell you of
Mom as a Mother, grandma and greatgrandma and her loving influence as she
made happy times for all of us. She even
left her influence in Harvard, which
many of us enjoy every day.
I was with Mom when God called
her home to Heaven on May 19 of this
year at the age of 98, following a stroke.
Nina Peterman
It was a sad day for our family, but
the Bible says in Psalm 116:15,
Precious in the sight of the Lord is the
death of His saints.
Is it just me, or do the heavens seem
brighter this past month?
* We use the word burden to mean
a serious problem that needs to be
changed.

In an article on page one, there is a

cursory mention that the Native
Americans tangentially involved in a
research project found it inadvisable to
share information with white men. Here
is a good reason why.
The first documented epidemic in
Wisconsin arose from an act of bioterrorism perpetrated by British traders in
1770. Dr. Douglass Houghton heard
about it from Ojibwe elders in 1832,
while vaccinating them against smallpox.
In 1767 or 1768, warriors from the
Leech Lake band of Ojibwe killed a
trader in Minnesota. When they came
east in 1770 to trade with the British at
Mackinac, a cask of liquor and a flag
closely rolled were presented to the
Indians as a token of friendship. They
were at the same time strictly enjoined
neither to break the seal of the cask nor
to unroll the flag, until they had reached
the heart of their own country.
But on their trip home, the warriors
stopped at modern Superior to feast the
assembled Lake Superior bands. Their

leader unsealed the cask and unrolled
the flag for the gratification of his
guests... and of those Indians then at
Fond du Lac [Superior], about three
hundred in number, nearly the whole
were swept off by it not a single band
of Chippewas north or west from Fond
du Lac escaped its ravages...
The Indians at this day [1832] are
firmly of the opinion that the smallpox was
at this time communicated through the
articles presented to their brethren by the
agent of the Fur Company at Mackinac.
Despite the memory of this atrocity,
Houghton found that the Lake Superior
Ojibwe embraced his vaccination program with cheerfulness and apparent
gratitude. He vaccinated more than
1,000 residents of northern Wisconsin.
This, and many other fascinating stories about history in Wisconsin are
available on the website of the
Wisconsin Historical Society, www.wisconsinhistory.org.
A THING IS RIGHT WHEN IT TENDS TO PRESERVE THE INTREGITY, STABILITY AND

BEAUTY OF THE BIOTIC COMMUNITY. IT IS WRONG WHEN IT TENDS OTHERWISE.

Popular Grove museum offers flying and driving adventures
By Marjie Reed
The Vintage Wings and Wheels
Museum in Poplar Grove, Ill., is a treasure
trove of transportation nostalgia to excite
young and old.
Even the building in which it is housed
has historical significance.
Due to a generous gift by Belvidere car
dealer Jack (and wife Peggy) Wolf, the
museum was able to purchase an impressive 16 foot high, half-ton bronze statue of
Elrey B. Jeppesen, entitled, The Aviator.
The general public may not recognize
the name Jeppesen, but he transformed the
safety of flying for us all, and pilots the
world over are grateful to him.
When Captain Jeppesen was a barnstormer, and then a mail plane pilot, in the
early years of flight, all pilots flew by the
proverbial seat of their pants, for there
were no navigational charts and no manuals to follow in the sky.
As he flew, Jeppesen began charting
what he saw below him and eventually
other pilots bought his charts.
The airlines saw their advantage and
Jepp Charts have always been the premier
navigational charts of the industry, according to United Airlines pilot Mike Lowe.
Before the invention of the IPad, every
pilot carried a weighty flight bag filled
with Jepp chart books, and most commercial pilots still do. A Jepp chart pilots bag
is already on display in the museum, as in
the near future, the charts will be downloaded onto a pilots IPad.
How appropriate to have such a hero of
the skies guide the way to the adventures
waiting in the museum!
more common name, the balloon), is

ingeniously woven through the rafters of
the building, while the attached, unusually
shaped, triple-sided woven basket, sits on
the floor as if straining to ascend.
Its interesting to learn that the envelope of a hot air balloon is considered the
aircraft, while the basket is just an accessory, said Zangs.
Nearby are amazing pictures of the
Intrepid, the aerial reconnaissance hot air
balloon that was used by the North during
the Civil War.
Sitting as if it just landed, is a 1931
American Eagle plane. Its unique feature
is that it has no brakes and no wheel in
back. There is a metal pole called a skid
that drags on the ground to stop the plane.
As can be imagined, pilots of these planes
always hoped for a grass runway for landing.
The beauty of a magnificent 1928
Model A Ford Roadster painted a rich,
deep green with black fenders (insured and
driveable) makes lovers mouths water.
The first new truck to be sold in Boone
County looks as if it is ready to start its
delivery rounds. In 1924, Doc Wolf owned
the Chevy dealership in Belvidere and got
an order for a truck. He found the chassis
in Wisconsin and, sitting on a milk crate,
drove it home.
Using a wooden piano box, he fashioned the truck to mount on the chassis. It
is an amazing exhibit of ingenuity and
county transportation history.
A small, but meaningful display called
The Foundation of Innovation highlights
the indispensability of aviation mechanics.
The first thing visitors to the Vintage Wings and Wheels Museum in Poplar
Grove, Ill., encounter is a 16-foot tall statue of Elrey B. Eppersen, the pioneer aviator
who developed navigation charts.
(Beacon photo)
The museums aim is to showcase

vintage bikes, planes and cars because
these industries grew up together and
changed the way people worked and
played, then and now, said museum general manager Judi Zangs. With the invention of the bicycle, roads started to be
paved, and womens independence and
fashion were influenced and changed.
Bicycles were the Wright brothers
passion before they began looking to the
sky for faster transportation. They fixed
bicycles, and then began manufacturing
them. The museum has several vintage
bikes on display.
There is a display of the way family
camping used to be after the single tent,
and before present day campers and motor
homes. An auto camping site is complete with a hands-on camping play area
for the kids.
The role of Park Rangers, Smokey
Bear campaign and Smoke Jumpers is also
on display.
Of special interest is the vintage film
of Fordlandia, Henry Fords immense rubber plantation in Brazil where he attempted to cut out the middle man by growing
his own rubber trees. It was not one of his
better ideas. In fact, it was a disaster.
The Special Fool, a hot air balloon on
display, was owned and operated by Judi
and Bill Zangs. The red envelope (or
Museum general manager Judi Zangs sits in the basket of The Special Fool,
a hot air balloon that she and her husband owned and flew. The museum displays
many historic vehicles, including the first truck sold in Boone County. (Beacon photo)
Education Coordinator Nathan Fuller

keeps busy at the museum and throughout
the area talking to school kids about aviation, holding summer camps with aviation
themes, helping boy scouts to earn merit
badges for flying, and girl scouts and
homeschoolers as needed. His service in a
school is free, but there is a nominal
charge if students come to the museum.
Fuller has created an area in the museum called The Cockpit. There are activities for younger kids and an actual flight
simulator for those who want to try their
skill at flying.
He is working on an area where tools
will be available for those who want to
design their own airport.
For any aviation buff, the library on the
second floor is invaluable. It contains many
books on aviation research, maintenance
manuals, flight instruction manuals, biographies, old magazines and much more.
We have about 100 members of the
museum, but we would like many more,
said Zangs. How many members an organization has acquired is always a first question when applying for monetary grants, so
members are important for many reasons.
The cost of membership is $25 for individuals, $30 for senior couples and $35 for
families.
The Vintage Wings and Wheels
Museum is open Monday through Friday
from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m., the first Saturday of
the month from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. and the
second Sunday of the month from 9 a.m. 1 p.m. It is located at 5151 Orth Road in
Poplar Grove.
There will be many activities at the airport in 2014. The next is July 19, the MidSummer Wheels Festival, featuring vehicles of all kinds on display for judging, biplane rides, food and drink, a kids tent,
and a concert.

Trio rob gun store with fake gun
A man and two teens allegedly used a

fake gun to rob a real gun store in El
Cajon, Calif.
The robbery took place at Hirams
Guns & Spirits [hows that for a nice combination?], when one of the suspects is
said to have used a replica handgun to hold
a store employee at gunpoint. Two others
smashed a display case and grabbed several real handguns.
After the suspects fled the scene in a
red 1998 Chevrolet Lumina, the gun store
employee called 911.
When the officers attempted to stop the
vehicle on the freeway, the driver sped
away and the car exited the freeway in a
San Diego suburb a few miles west of El
Cajon. After a few quick turns, the car
turned into a storage facility where the
road dead-ended.

The International Quilt Show at
Rosemont was fantastic. The quilts were
a mixture of traditional and art quilts.
There were wall hangings and bed quilts
from twin to king size and even a new
Yurt.
The vendors offered almost anything
you could imagine and more. One of the
busier stalls was a vendor selling vibrating pillows for your back, neck or feet.
After walking miles through the convention center, I must admit the massaging
pillow really felt good.
There were, of course, venders selling almost anything related to sewing;
wool, silk, rayon and cotton fabrics in
any color imaginable, rulers of all sizes,
irons, sewing machines, long-arm
machines, thread, books, patterns, jewelry, hand creams, t-shirts, walking shoes,
purses, tote bags. And yes, there were
quilts for sale.
I met an old friend, Gayle Bong, at
the show and she has a new book called
The Thirtysomething Block Book.
Gayle lives just north of Elkhorn and has
been designing and making quilts for
more than 30 years. She favors scrappy
quilts that can be rotary cut. This new
Thirtysomething Block Book has 116
different blocks to make.
Gayle Bongs newest book, The

Thirtysomething Block Book, features
more than 115 blocks to make. Its available at Sawdust & Stitches in Elkhorn or
you can log on to www.gaylebong.com.
Thirtysomething provides an easy

and accurate way to cut and piece exciting new designs. Gayle explains and diagrams the blocks in a way even a beginner would understand. She has also
designed a little ruler to help square-up
the Thirtysome-thing pieces.

My favorite is her quilt called My
Round Tuit. First of all I love the name
because Im always saying I'll get
around to it, and secondly, I love scrap
quilts because they are more interesting
than quilts of two, three or four fabrics.
This quilt is a sampler of different
blocks and a generator block between
them to give the illusion of circles. Its
very striking.
This book has been on my mind for
over 10 years, said Gayle. I knew
when I first developed the concept of
combining 30 degree and 60 degree
angles in square blocks, that there were
endless design possibilities. As I worked
on more than 75 different Thirtysomething quilts, I was able to tweak the technique. I am really happy with the results.
I hope you like it.
You can get Gayles book and the
Thirtysomething square-up tool at
Sawdust and Stitches, call Gayle at
(262) 215-7803 or go to www.gayle

Pet Questions and Answers

By Marc Morrone
Q: I was grooming my husky outdoors
this morning, as she is losing her winter
coat. As the fur was falling off her in
clumps and blowing about on the patio, I
saw a little bird a sparrow, I guess that
kept flying down to the patio and grabbing
bits of the fur in its beak and flying off
with it. Was the bird using the fur to build
a nest? I brush my dogs every day, and I
can collect bags of fur and was wondering
it if is OK to leave out for the birds to use.
If so, what is the best way to leave the fur
out for them?
A: Yes, that is exactly what the bird
was doing. With all the ruination of the
natural habitat, the birds that are trying to
eke out an existence here have a hard time
finding nesting material. I have seen birds
using odd items such as newspaper and
scraps of aluminum foil, as they have not
been able to find enough natural fibers.
Dog hair is very good for lining birds
nests. As a kid, I had a collie who had a
very nice coat and I was always cutting off
her fur and giving it to my pet canaries and
finches to build their nests with.
The best way to present the fur for the
birds to use is to put it in an onion bag or
some other type of mesh sack and hang it
near an exposed branch of a tree. That way,
the birds can sit on the branch and pull the
fur out.
This is a nice way to turn trash into
treasure.
Q: I have bursitis in my shoulder, and
my year-old boxer-pit mix pulls so hard on
the leash that it causes me intense pain. I
heard that a head halter would help, so I
got one and followed the directions in the
box. But as soon as I put it on the dog, he
goes out of his mind and claws at it and
rolls around, and I cannot see how it can
work at all. I tried a chain training collar
before this, and he pulled against it so hard
he almost passed out. I am at my wit's end.
A: The head halter is still the best bet
in my opinion. This product is sold as Halti
and Gentle Leader and basically works the
same way a halter works on a horse, a cow
or any other animal that is stronger than a
human. The halter fits around the animals
head, and the lead, instead of attaching to
the animal's neck, is now attached to a ring

under the jaw. The theory is that an animal
will go in the direction that its nose is
pointing, so when the animal starts to pull
ahead, the lead attached to the ring under
its jaw turns the animal around until it is
facing you.
It does work very well, and if a halter
can control a 1,000-pound horse, then it
will work fine on your 100-pound dog.
The difference is that horses and cows are
fitted with halters at a very young age, so
they grow up accepting them. You have a
free-spirited and active dog who never
experienced such a contraption on his face
before, and the resulting rodeo you experienced is to be expected.
The key here is to just put the halter on
the dog in the house and pet and play with
the dog for a few minutes, feeding him
treats from your fingers all the while so he
gets to experience the feeling of the halter
on his face while something good is happening. Then, take the halter off before the
dog gets upset. Put it away and try again a
while later.
It may take a few days of this, but
eventually he will wear the halter on his
face just fine. After this happens, you hook
your finger in the ring under the dogs jaw
and lead him around the house a bit, then
take it off while he is still calm. Its important that the dog not fight the halter and get
you to take it off very quickly. You must
stop the lesson before that happens so the
dog doesnt think its an option.
When the dog accepts you manually
leading it about the house, you should try
putting a leash on the ring instead of your
finger and walk the dog around the house
this way. Continue this exercise until the
dog accepts the whole situation. There is
no point in taking the dog outside until it is
walking calmly with the head halter and
leash inside the house.
The main problem with the head halter
on the dog is that it sort of resembles a
muzzle, and people will give your dog
wary looks when you are outdoors with
him. But your shoulder will thank you for
using it after you have desensitized your
dog to it.

The Christian Arts Centre of The

Chapel on the Hill will present their
summer musical, Narnia, based on
C.S. Lewiss The Lion, the Witch and
the Wardrobe.
This most famous story of the
Chronicles of Narnia has become a
musical presentation of a unique,
enchanted world filled with creatures
and spirits of myth and fable, both good
and evil, demonic and transcendent.
The principal inhabitants, however,
are the intelligent talking animals ruled
by the majestic King Aslan, the great
lion of Narnia. Though Aslan is often
absent from the land (so that his very
existence is doubted by some), he
returns when the need for him is greatest. And entering Narnia at a moment of
high adventure are some children
plucked from our world in unexpected
ways to help Narnia and to learn from
their Narnia odyssey lessons of courage,

Author to sign book at Webster

House ice cream social July 13
Carol March McLernon will be signing her new book, Ice for Sale as part
of the Webster House Museums annual
ice cream social. The event will begin at
1:30 p.m. on Sunday, July 13.
Written at a middle school level, the
book begins with the early history of
ice-cutting from lakes along the Atlantic
Ocean and ends with the last load of ice
taken from Geneva Lake in 1948.
The book includes a short history of
ice cream, an easy ice cream recipe and
a glossary of ice-cutting tools. There are
several water-color illustrations by an
artist who specializes in draft horses.
A special price for the book during
the July 13 event will be $10, with half
the proceeds going to the Webster House
Museum.

The Word Detective
Dear Word Detective: As a former

Boilerman in the US Navy I thought that I
knew everything about boiler construction. Then I found out that newspapers use
boilerplate too. What the heck do they use
it for? Mike Henderson.

They use it for the Great Steel Wall
between the advertising and editorial
departments that keeps the news coverage
free of commercial contamination. Sorry,

little newspaper joke there. Speaking of

intrusive advertising, Im constantly bombarded by ad agencies suggesting that I
turn certain words in my columns into
clickable links to sell vacuum cleaners and
the like. Im tempted to write back and ask
them if theyd like to sponsor dirtball or
sleazoid. (Which I know I could work
into a column because I just did.)
Operators are standing by, guys.
Boilerman, eh? I must admit that Id
forgotten that modern ships (some of
them, anyway) still have boilers, but then I
remembered that nuclear power works by
boiling water to run steam turbines, and
there are a few nuke boats out there. And
while most modern ships use diesel
engines, many still run on turbines powered by boilers heated with coal or liquefied natural gas (especially ships that just
happen to transport coal or LNG).

Boil, our common English verb meaning

to heat a liquid until bubbles form, rise to
the top and release vapor, has a fairly prosaic origin, coming from the Latin bullire, meaning to bubble. The noun
boil meaning an inflamed swelling on
the skin is unrelated to the verb, and
comes from Germanic roots meaning to
swell.
English adopted boil from the Old
French bolir in the 13th century, but
when the noun boiler appeared around
1540, it meant simply a person who boils
things. Another 200 years and we had
boiler meaning a pot or vessel in which
liquids are boiled, opening the door to the
wonderful world of cooking in a doubleboiler. (Does anyone still use those
things?) In the mid-18th century boiler
came to mean the large vessel,

Chevrolet SS tries to keep its power a secret
32 The Beacon
By Terry Box
Silver sedans tend to disappear in the
suburbs, melting into well-tended, wideopen gray pavement.
Somebody call True Detective.
That sort of semi-invisibility works
fine for the forgettable Camrys and
Rogues and Outbacks buzzing down new
boulevards hell-bent for Tom Thumb.
Who cares about seeing another tottoter with a bunch of family stick figures
on its tinted back window though you
have to wonder whats going on in there to
rate so many sticks.
But I really thought the silver 2014
Chevrolet SS I drove recently might draw
more envious looks than it got in my leafy
new home ground in Richardson, Texas.
Most people probably presumed old
Poppy was just headed to church in his
gussied-up Malibu, its trunk filled with
sacks of canned goods for the poor and his
heart brimming with Sunday morning
benevolence.
Little did they know.
To paraphrase Professor Didley, the SS
might look like a farmer, but those 4-inch
duals protruding from its generic rear rumbled with the distant fire of a deep-breathing 6.2-liter V-8.
The SS is the first full-size rear-wheeldrive sedan from Chevrolet in nearly 20
years.
This one, however, came mostly from
General Motors Holden division in
Australia, a notable bunch that also built
the last Pontiac GTO and late, great
Pontiac G8 both cousins of the SS.
Like those vehicles, the SS rides on a
taut, independent front and rear suspension, blisters the pavement with a
Corvette-derived engine, and can boil up
muscle-car performance numbers.
As I mentioned in a recent review of
the 2014 Dodge Charger SRT8, the new
SS is also the Chargers most direct competitor.
One of the first things youll notice is
that the SS looks as if it spends its gym
time jogging while the bulky Charger
loudly pumps steel.
At about 3,930 pounds, the SS weighs
440 pounds less than the big-bruiser
The 2014 Chevrolet SS is the first full-size rear-wheel-drive sedan from Chevrolet
in nearly 20 years.
(Mueller/Chevrolet/MCT)
Charger and yet gets about the same fuel

economy 15 miles per gallon in town and
21 on the highway, compared with the
Dodge's 14/23.
I cant explain that, particularly since
the Dodge has a slightly larger engine (6.4
liters) and a less-efficient five-speed automatic.
Nonetheless, with the SS, think growl,
not roar.
Up front, for example, it wore a fairly
innocent-looking blacked-out grille with
Chevys big corporate gold bow tie in the
center.
Below that was a larger, more sinister
grille, also blacked out, but it wasn't sufficiently evil to scare slow-moving traffic
out of the way.
A raised hood with a fairly subtle
power dome in the center flowed into a
slightly raked windshield and sleek top.
I didnt care much for fake vertical
grilles behind the front wheel openings,
but a nicely chiseled character line ran
from there to the taillamps.
Another line up high gave the sides a
touch of lean muscle, but you have to kind
of study the car to see it.
One look at the SS tires and wheels,
though, should make this sedans antiso-
815-943-7390
cial intentions clear.

Polished 19-inch wheels were shod
with meaty 245/40 tires up front and serious 275/35s in back.
And just listen to it idle. Like the
Charger, the SS shakes lightly at stoplights
with a great cam-induced shudder.
Its stout V-8 the only engine available in the car is derived from the 2013
Corvette's LS3 engine, cranking out tirespinning torque down low along with an
aggressive power curve that stays pushy
all the way to 6,000 rpm.
The engines 415 horsepower, incidentally, is 55 less than the Chargers.
But punch the SS, and it emits a lusty
little intake moan, lunging forward with
enough energy to briefly spin its tires at
any speed under 30.
In fact, the SS felt more responsive to
me than a Camaro SS with the same basic
engine, zipping to 60 in 4.5 seconds,
July 4, 2014
according to Car and Driver 0.3 of a second slower than the Charger.
Although sudden acceleration could
occasionally catch the six-speed automatic
between gears, it was mostly a willing
and snappy-shifting accomplice to the
Chevys lusty V-8.
Handling clearly separated the SS
from the Charger. While the Charger muscles into corners and hangs on, the SS
turns in more rapidly and cleanly, settling
into curves more deftly than the Charger.
The steering also felt better. Like the
Charger, the SS steering was a bit numb at
dead center, but it was better weighted and
livelier than the SRT8s.
Throw the SS into a really fast corner
and it responds with minimal body lean,
able to gracefully handle some meathead
mashing on the throttle in the midst of a
drift. (It was all for research, Boss.)
Like the SRT8, the SS rode firmly but
felt more supple. Though the car would
move backseat passengers around some on
bumpy roads, it delivered little jounce or
harsh rebound.
Likewise, the SS offered more refinement and better materials inside than the
Charger and my SS, at $45,770, was
nearly $7,000 cheaper than the SRT8.
Its black interior, for example, had a
relatively spare dashboard with a leatherlike hood over the instrument panel,
stitched on the edges in red.
Everything on the dash and door tops
was formed in low-gloss, high-end looking
plastic.
Black suede trimmed the midsection of
the dashboard, which flowed comfortably
around a semi-swoopy, highly functional
center stack.
Although the door panels were mostly
black plastic, they had suede centers and
padded armrests.

Chevrolet SS
Meanwhile, black seats with perforated centers and highly supportive bolsters
were trimmed in red stitching.
While the SS appears to be no larger
than many midsize sedans, it provides more
than adequate leg- and head-room in back.
You could easily stuff a couple of big,
noisy teenagers back there, though I suggest you bind and gag them first.
Look, Id take either car. I love the big
Hemi V-8 in the SRT8. But the SS feels
more developed and refined, offering better handling, a slightly smoother ride and
almost as much straight-line performance.
It comes down to this: Do you want a knife

or a scalpel? They both cut deeply.

Harley Davidsons new LiveWire electric motorcycle will go from 0 to 60 mph

in four seconds flat, but has a range of approximately 53 miles. There is no word on
the price yet, as the company is merely showing a prototype.

Harley Davidson previews

its first electric motorcycle
With its 6.2 liter, 415 hp V8, the new Chevy SS goes from 0 to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds.
(Mueller/Chevrolet/MCT)
By Susan Carpenter
The Harley-Davidson LiveWire took
almost everyone by surprise. After 111
years of making increasingly large, gaspowered two-wheelers, Harley was about
the last mainstream motorcycle maker
anyone expected to come out with a plugin electric, even if it is just a concept.
Yet there it was. Parked on a Southern
California runway last week, itching to be
taken for a spin.
No gas tank. No exhaust pipe. No
clutch. No gearbox. Just an electric motor
slung under its belly and housed in billet
aluminum, a stack of lithium-ion batteries
packed into a trellis frame and disguised
with metal covers so very unlike a traditional Harley V-twin that no one would
ever guess its provenance without the
badge.
Looking more like a modern Ducati
Monster than a retro-style hog, with a
bobbed tail and sporty styling, only its coloring is distinctly Harley-Davidson. The
glossy black of its tank er, battery
cover is emblazoned with a modern take
on Harleys iconic badge and bar. Its gray
accented with orange. Even its head- and
taillights are futuristic LEDs.
Straddling its low-slung seat, I kicked
up the stand and looked for the key hole.
There wasnt one. Its ignition is keyless
brought to life with the usual buttons on
the right grip once its electronics sense the
presence of its fob.
Pushing the ignition switch on the
hand grip doesnt yield the throaty grumble of a traditional Harley but the churning
of an oil pump to cool the electric motor
and a second pump that sends coolant to
the electric control unit. Twisting the grip
negates the pump sound, replacing it with
a pitch that sounds nothing like Harleys
almost-trademarked potato-potato-potato.
A Harley rep says the sound was custom-designed to sound like a jet fighter
plane engine. I say it sounds like twin
aliens singing off pitch. In fact, it sounds
similar to the new Brammo Empulse R,
with various points during acceleration
sounding pitchier than others yet quieter
than a gas exhaust.
Instead of a circular gauge, theres a
rectangular touch screen with a simple
graphics display supplying all the pertinent information: how far it can go (about
53 miles), how fast (92 mph) and, most
importantly, when the batteries will run
out of juice. The three-phase induction
motor is rated at 55 kilowatts, or 74 horsepower, and makes 52 pound-feet of instant
torque.
Being electronically controlled, riders
can choose between two ride modes: the
perkier power setting and stingier
range. Riders have to choose before they
twist the grip. Theres no changing minds
on the fly. The only way to switch modes
is to power down and turn it back on.

For my first few runs down the weedy
pavement, I made the only natural choice:
power. Twisting the grip, it practically
rolled out from under me, threatening to
lift the front wheel in mere seconds.
Harleys internal combustion engines have
nothing on electric when it comes to
torque, regardless of how large the engine.
The LiveWire more than lived up to its
name with electrifying acceleration.
Ive been testing electric motorcycles
since 2007, when I rode a prototype of the
bike that now holds the land-speed record
at 206 mph. Back then, Lightning
Motorcycles was so new it hadnt even
come up with a name for the Yamaha R1 it
had converted from gasoline to lithium-ion
batteries, which were crudely duct-taped
inside the frame. In the years since, Ive
tested every model year of Zero
Motorcycles and Brammo, all of which
have dramatically improved in the time
theyve been on the market.
The Harley-Davidson LiveWire is
most comparable in both speed and handling to the 2014 Zero Motorcycles SR. Its
acceleration is pure hot rod. Its handling:
nimble as a ninja.
Over the course of several speed runs,
I reached the LiveWires governed limit of
92 mph. Harley claims a 0-to-60 mph
acceleration time of 4 seconds flat.
Slowing down is standard fare: disc
brakes front and rear. But rolling off the
throttle does more than just slow the bike.
It partially recharges the batteries by capturing the bikes kinetic energy, mimicking
the sensation of engine braking on an
internal combustion machine. Otherwise,
recharging takes 3 1/2 hours from empty
with a 220-volt charger of a proprietary
design.
Overall, the LiveWire is a terrific
machine that looks as great as it performs.
The way its currently set up, the range
will likely be a problem, but thats why
Harley is only offering it as a sample.

Two priests died and

South was Trump Coup Tommy, who
resented that he was only considered a good
player when the trumps broke badly. He was
determined to make a name for himself as a
well-rounded player. Today's hand was a
good chance. He could count 13 tricks with
Sudoku
normal breaks in hearts and clubs, so he bid

the grand slam in no trump.
Tommy was quite pleased with himself
when dummy came down. Hearts at 3-2 or 3-3
spades would give him 13 easy tricks. He won
the opening spade lead in hand and cashed the
ace and king of hearts. Bad news! He next tried
the queen of spades. More bad news.
Tommy was undaunted. He had been
reading Clyde Loves classic book, Bridge
Squeezes Complete, and he was sure he recognized this position. With the spades on his
left and the hearts on his right, he could make
13 tricks, even if both opponents had the
king of diamonds!
Tommy cashed the queen of hearts and
crossed to dummy with the 10 of clubs to
cash the ace of spades. Tommy discarded his
queen of diamonds with great flair. He then
cashed his clubs, and on the last club, West
had to keep a spade, so he came down to a
singleton diamond. Tommy discarded
dummy's last spade and East was cooked! He
had to keep a heart, so he also came down to
a singleton diamond. Tommy led his jack of
diamonds to the ace, and dummys lowly two
of diamonds scored the 13th trick.
Don't call me Trump Coup Tommy anymore, he said. From now on, Im The
Squeeze Kid.

plates welded together, in which water is
heated to create pressurized steam, as in a
steam-powered engine or a heating plant in
a large building.
But now we turn from the steam-powered industry to one selling good old-fashioned hot air, i.e., journalism. In the Olden
Days, before computerized typesetting,
printing presses used hot lead, printing
plates cast from type laboriously set lineby-line in a frame. As recently as the late
1960s, many newspapers used enormous
Linotype machines on which text typed in
by the operator would be set into lines of
metal type to be assembled into plates for
printing the paper. Parts of the paper, how-

ownership, etc., rarely changed, and these
were printed with a fixed and durable steel
plate of type called a boilerplate from its
resemblance to the heavy plated used in
boiler construction. Any text supplied by
advertisers or other outside sources that
didnt need to be typeset was also boilerplate (He attended to the subsidizing of
news agencies that supplied thousands of
country papers with boiler-plate matter to
fill their inside pages. 1905).
By the late 1890s boilerplate had
come to mean any block of text that doesnt need to be changed from one edition to
the next. Today we use boilerplate to
mean any standardized text, such as parts
of standard contracts or consumer warranties, etc., that doesnt even have to be
