N.M. Pre-Schoolers Learn about Local Disposal
The North Mahaska 4 year-old
preschool class recently studied a
unit on trash and garbage and also
learned about recycling from a local
New Sharon business, LDI (Local
Disposal Inc.). All of this was done
in conjunction with Earth Day last
week. LDI employee, Adam Eischen
(pictured), whose son, Aidan,
is in the morning pre-school class
brought his garbage truck to pick up
garbage at the school. Both classes
were able to see how the truck picks
up the dumpsters and smashes trash.
The students were also able to climb
inside his truck and look at all of the
buttons in the cab.
Pictured right are the classes listening
to Adam tell how he hooks up
the dumpster to the garbage truck.
North Mahaska Bike Rodeo 2010
The third and fourth grade students from North Mahaska participated in a bicycle safety presentation with Officer
DeKock from Oskaloosa. He talked about signals, helmets, and bicycle safety. Then, the third grade students went

that were offered.

Lacey Community News Reflections
*Rhoda and I went to the Oskaloosa Care Center last Saturday to visit
our friend Francene Hugen. However, Francene had so many visitors that
we decided to wait our turn. Waiting was no problem...I had the time, and
Rhoda was a “charmer” in her pink dress. We walked around the facility,
Rhoda sat on the laps of several of the residents, and I enjoyed chatting with
the people.
Francene had fallen the beginning of March, breaking her pelvic bone. I
am told that this must be the most painful bone to break. The only way to
heal is to lie still in bed. It was so good to see Francene sitting up in a chair.
Francene still has some pain, but not nearly as
much as she has endured the last several weeks.
Francene has not lost her sense of humor. “I think I will start my own
Hallmark store,” she quipped...Francene has received more than 700 “getwell”
cards since her accident. Francene continued to tell me that she plays
“Dutch Bingo.” Of course, I asked for the rules to this game. Francene explained
that you just start asking who a person’s relatives are...that is called
“Dutch Bingo.”
*Those of you who have lived in the Lacey neighborhood for several years
remember Glenn Groenenboom. Glenn passed away, but he and his wife,
Viola [Kelderman] owned the farm where Tom and I have lived now for
27 years. We had the opportunity to purchase this farm from the Groenenbooms.
No one could have beat Glenn at the game of “Dutch Bingo.” Glenn
knew every relative, every branch of the family tree of nearly everyone!
*When Tom and I became engaged, we knew that we wanted to live in the
New Sharon School District. This is the school where we wanted our future
children to attend. Now we have no regrets...Jackson graduated from NM in
2002, and Jordan will graduate from NM this Sunday. We are pleased and
thankful that our children had wonderful experiences at NM. Thank you
to the teachers, administrators, and staff for providing a safe, positive, and
encouraging learning environment.
*Jordan is completing a wonderful work study program this week at
the Northern Mahaska Nursing and Rehab Center in Oskaloosa. Mrs. Betty
Hizer, teacher at NM, arranged for Jordan to do this. Jordan didn’t need the
school credits...she already had enough credits to graduate. However, for
Jordan to continue competing in the Iowa High School Rodeo Association,
Jordan had to be a full-time student. This experience has solidified Jordan’s
plans to work with older people. Thank you to Kathy Elscott and Linda
Dawley, the activity directors at the nursing home, for being excellant role
models for Jordan. Jordan plans to take classes at Indian Hills this summer
and fall to receive her CNA certificate and to be certified as an activity director.
The residents at Northern Mahaska Nursing & Rehab will have a taste
of the rodeo come to them this week. Jordan is bringing her retired barrel
racing horse, saddle, pictures, awards, etc. to the nursing home to present a
program. She figured that the retired horse [Fancy] would be more gentle
than “Mo” her current race horse.
*Sina is experiencing several “firsts” in the category of racing. She attended
the Knoxville Sprint Car Races with Chelsie Livezey on May 8. Sina
went with me to the What Cheer Figure 8 Races last week Saturday evening.
Brett Fisher, a 2009 NM graduate was racing. We actually cheered the most
for Cory Danner of Oskaloosa. Bryce Grober, Jordan’s boyfriend, works on
Cory’s pit crew. Many date nights for Bryce & Jordan are spent in the race
shop, a place where Jordan feels at home.
*I enjoyed visiting with Fran Ferguson recently. Fran lives in an apartment
next to my church’s parking lot in Oskaloosa. She was in her yard
when I walked to my vehicle. Fran asked if I had Rhoda with me. “Of
course,” I answered, and when Fran asked to see Rhoda, I immediately got
Rhoda out of her car seat and brought her to Fran’s lap. Rhoda is an excellant
judge of character...she enjoyed her time being spoiled by Fran.
*We attended our first graduation party of the season last Sunday...Maleah
Hill will graduate this Sunday from NM. Maleah and Jordan are good
friends. Tom and I have enjoyed having Maleah along on a few rodeo weekends.
Maleah is always a happy, polite, positive, young lady. She works as
a CNA in a Grinnell nursing home and plans to continue her education in the
nursing field. Maleah’s Dad and Step-Mom prepared ALL of the food for her
party, and we were fed VERY well!
*The construction crews were out working a long day last Saturday on
Hwy. 63, apparently to make up for the rainy days. It is actually a joy to
drive on the finished section of the highway...as smooth as a dream!
*The front page article of the May 12 Oskaloosa Herald, featured the account
of twelve year old Samantha Coster, a student at NM. Samantha had
extensive surgery in Iowa City last February to remove a malignant brain
tumor. Praise God that Samantha’s surgery was a success. Samantha is back
to playing softball, pitching for the New Sharon McGriff’s Crush team.
What really caught my attention from this newspaper article was the faith
of Samantha...a faith so real and mature for a twelve year old! Her faith in
God got her through the surgery. “If I died, I’d go to heaven,” Samantha
said. Samantha, you are an inspiration!
*Everyone is invited to our home this Friday evening, May 21, for a
graduation open house for our girls...Jordan Drost and Sina Ronnebeck. We
will be serving food from 6:00 - 10:00 PM. Any questions or tidbits for my
column...call me at 641-660-0443.
Until next week...May your life be happy and fruitful, may lessons be gently
learned, may the hearts of those you’ve blessed, send blessings in return.
In God’s Grip,
Cindy Drost

Last Saturday afternoon Andrea and I played bingo at the English Valley
Care Center in North English with the Liberty Leader’s 4-H club. The
care center residents love to play bingo and win quarters.
In the evening Bruce, Brian, Andrea, and I were at the home of Dan,
Jen, Nolan, Bryson, Myles, and Cael Grove near South English. Dan grilled
hot dogs and hamburgers for supper. It was a 6th birthday party for Bryson

Follow-up to last week’s Reflections.) If the Mississippi River could talk, it
would have many tales to tell. I confess I do not recall its interesting history.
For anyone – young or old - who enjoys learning about rivers, the story of
this mighty river should be fascinating.
After the “Big Muddy” (Missouri R) has joined the Mississippi, the
stream becomes more challenging. Numerous explorers and traders dreamed
of new ways to navigate the waters. Many attempted making boats suitable
for use on the Mississippi. For instance, in 1796 some Dutch settlers built a
strange craft with oars worked by eight horses treading in a circle, but this
was wrecked by a strong current. Large canoes with masts and other boats
with oars and sails were also tried.
But the most usual form of transport was still the barges; with no engines,
they floated downstream to New Orleans, sometimes using sails for
the return journey. However, when the steam era appeared, barges could not
compete with the steamboats. By 1830 there were 1,200 steamboats arriving
at New Orleans. These new ships sped along at 12 knots downstream and 5
knots upstream, faster than any other craft. (According to Google, one knot
equals 1.15 miles per hour rounded out to two decimal points.)
Traveling on the river produced plenty of excitement and adventure, especially
when the captains of the steamers wanted to show the superiority of
their crafts. Races were a great attraction since the captains, who were generally
proud men, each felt confident his skill was greater than any other man’s
on the river. The passengers (most must have been youths with little fear of
danger) would urge the captains on, not caring about the danger. Sometimes
the ships’ boilers exploded through overheating and the boats sank. Hundreds
of people were killed each year but the races still went on.
Tragedies also occurred when the boats, made of wood, would catch
fire or would hit a reef and sink. The average life of a steamboat was five
years, most of them meeting a violent end. Probably the most tragic sinking
was that of the “Sultana,” which found its final resting place beneath a farm
in Arkansas. It was at the end of the Civil War in the 1860s when hundreds of
Northern troops were returning home. The ship was built to hold a thousand
people, but over two thousand crowded aboard. Shortly after leaving Memphis,
the ship exploded and 1,550 soldiers were drowned! This is more than
the number of people lost when the great Titanic sunk in 1912.
In Arkansas City, at the SE tip of the state, the Arkansas River joins the
Mississippi, making it even wider. Author Susan Darrell Brown, throughout
her informative and easy-to-read book about the Mississippi, points out that
the Mississippi River frequently changed it course. For instance, the town of
Delta, which was once almost 3 miles down from Vicksburg was later found
to be two miles before Vicksburg! The town had not moved; the river had
changed its course.
At Vicksburg can be seen the full extent of the work which has been
done on the Mississippi in an attempt to tame the giant river. A scale model of
the whole Mississippi basin – every dam, dyke, and levee is represented, as
well as the mountains, streams, basin contours - every aspect is there. Susan
Brown observes: “The engineers have thought up the worst possible weather
they can imagine, with all elements at their most dangerous level at the same
time. So long as nothing totally unexpected happens, the Mississippi should
remain harmless to the people living near it. It seems the battle against the
river has finally been won, but only time will tell if this is really true.
Further downstream is the city of Natchez, reminding visitors of the
days when the wealthy plantation owners moved into town every year for
the “season,” the time of parties and merry-making. The large Greek-style
houses in which they lived stand in sharp contrast to the hovels in which the
Negro slaves were kept.
But what about the bayous and back waters being threatened by the
recent horrific oil spill/float? These are areas where sources of popular seafoods
exist. A paragraph from an encyclopedia may provide clarity: “Louisiana
has an enormous variety and volume of seafood products because of its
long coast line and its many waterways, both salt and fresh. Huge quantities
of fish, shrimp, and oysters are shipped from the area to markets in many other
states. The frog-leg and crabmeat canning industries have gained steadily
in importance. About 3,000,000 bushels of oysters are harvested every year.
The packing of oysters, both fresh and canned, is centered at Houma, which
is sometimes called the “Oyster City of the South.”
Announcements like the following are appearing in these vulnerable areas:
LDWF Announces Partial opening of Inshore Areas and Territorial Sea
to Recreational and Commercial Fishing; DHH Reopens Oyster Harvesting
Areas 9 and 13…No intrusion of Oil Yet... Reopening Allows Harvesters
Additional Time to Gather Oysters; Louisiana Department of Wildlife and
Fisheries Continues Search for Oil and Oiled Marine Animals; Governor
Jindal Joins Officials for Flyover and On-the Ground Assessment of Coastal
Protection Plan; State Opens Additional Fresh Water Diversion Canal at
Bayou Lamoque; Assessment Teams Find Oil Impacting Whiskey Island.
Louisiana Confirms Presence of Tar Balls at South Pass.
I trust we are not sitting complacently by as we’ve seen this distressing
debacle unfold. Instead, let’s pray that God will give swift insight to those
who are desperately searching for solutions.

Lower Grove News
By Rosemary Schmidt
Enough already…rain, rain, rain. As I sit down to the computer this
morning, the sun is shining and I am happy. Hopefully it shines all day, my
vitamin D is getting low! I have been reading articles lately saying we need
more vitamin D. We get most of our vitamin D from the sun and people do
not utilize the sun like they should. It makes me think of the children and
how they do not play outside like we used to. A lack of vitamin D causes us
to contract diseases and illnesses more readily. And I don’t know about you,
but I don’t like being sick, so we take vitamin D orally.
Thankfully Sammie has kept the garden tilled whenever there was a dry
day or otherwise the weeds may have taken over. The radishes are just right,
but the mud clings to them if I try to pull them. I pulled some while trying to
stay on the edge of the grass. Gave them to neighbor Charlene De Kock, but
I think she got more of our mud than she wanted. She said they tasted good
anyway. We will have lettuce soon and looking forward to a good mess of
‘Dutch lettuce’.
Tulip Time has come and went. A COLD one it was and we felt sorry
for the visitors as a lot of the beautiful tulips were gone. There were some
pretty ones left, but the weather just did not cooperate this year. There were
2600 Dutch dancers that gathered around the square on Saturday. They all
paired up and danced together. It was quite a sight as they were on all four
sides of the city square. They were trying to break the record number of
Dutch dancers at one time. They did that and were quite excited about the
outcome. Hopefully they will do it again next year. The Peoria Christian
School served many a meal during Tulip Time and were pleased with the
results. It is a great fund raiser for their school each year. We visited with
many of the workers when they weren’t busy, but they were occupied most
of the time. We especially enjoyed visiting with Elizabeth Hoksbergen, her
husband Carroll and 2 little daughters. They were so cute in their Dutch
dresses. If you have never went to Tulip Time, it is a worthwhile event to
see. We all like to travel many miles out of state to see what they have in
other states, but neglect visiting the wonderful events in Iowa.
Aha…those blasted ants have invaded our home for the second time in
the last couple of weeks. The first time I put out Terro ant killer and it done
the job. I got up in the middle of the night and looked….there they were all
around the little spot of poison that I had put out. Just like hogs at the feeding
trough. They then transport it to their nest and ‘poof’ they all get sick. So,
I put out a little more poison this morning and this bunch arehaving a feast.
Good, maybe they will leave me alone. Do I sound ‘sadistic’ or what? But,
when you are trying to protect your food from being invaded while you are
making a meal, it gets mighty annoying.
Peoria will be hosting a Memorial Day Service on Monday, May 31, 2010
at 9:30 AM at the Peoria Cemetery. If the weather does not cooperate, it will
be held at the Peoria school gym. Rolls and drinks will be served afterwards.
Neighbor Pam Vander Linden called and asked if Sammie and Kalvin would
sing and play a couple of numbers. We are always happy to help out and
make the event a pleasant patriotic experience.
One of the latest scams is happening on the computer. Supposedly one of
your friends or relatives emails you and tells you that they are in trouble and
need money wired to them. Don’t fall for this and just use common sense.
Someone in trouble would call, not email. But, the telephone scam has been
around also for some time and you need to be aware of that. Just DO NOT
agree to give anyone money over the phone or email. If they need money so
badly, they can contact you in person and then you will know if it is really a
relative or friend!
On May 5, 2010 we attended the funeral of Sharon (Schmidt) Hudson,
the daughter of the late Sam Schmidt of Deep River and a cousin of Sammie’s.
She grew up in Grinnell and Deep River and graduated from Deep
River High School. She married and lived in Arizona for over 20 years
where she worked for Hughes Aircraft as a Quality Control Inspector. She
moved back to Iowa in the early 1990’s and made her home in Newton. She
loved going to gospel concerts, playing cards, and especially being with her
grandchildren. She was a member of the Cornerstone Church. Those left
to honor Sharon’s memory are her two daughters, Kelly Kirk of Newtonand
Cris Burckel of Newton and four grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren.
Two half brother, Bill Schmidt of Grinnell and Bob (Debbie) Schmidt of
Deep River. One half sister, Brenda Van Dee of Deep River and stepmother
Delores Schmidt.
The South Skunk River is coming out of its banks again by Warrens
bridge. It is sneaking across the bottom river road and the closed road signs
are up. Thank goodness our neighborhood has another road that will take us
to the pavement. We hope that it goes down quickly and maybe some of the
corn will be able to make it through.
****How does this person survive? Funny or is it?
I was checking out at the local store with just a few items and the lady
behind me put her things on the counter close to mine. I picked up one of
those ‘dividers’ that they keep by the cash register and placed it between our
things so they wouldn’t get mixed up.
After the clerk had scanned all my items, she picked up the ‘divider’ and
looked it all over for the bar code so she could scan it. Not finding the bar
code, she said to me, “Do you know how much this is?”
I said to her, “I’ve changed my mind, I don’t think I’ll buy that today!
She said, “OK” and I paid her for my purchases and left.
The sad thing is, she had no clue to what had just happened!!!!!!
Thanks for reading the SUN!

Putting Files Into Your Test Folder
Double-click on your new folder to see its contents (at the moment it will
be empty). To copy some files into the Test Folder, open a new window by
double-clicking the My Documents icon again and navigating to the files
you want to copy. For this example, just find some music or picture files you
have.
To move these files into the new folder, you can just click and drag each
one from the new window to the Test Folder in the old window. If you hold
down the CTRL key as you click and drag, the files will be copied rather
than permanently moved. To move a file back, just click and drag it back to
its original folder.
You can select more than one file at once by holding CTRL and clicking
once on each file you want. Then if you just drag one of the highlighted files
they will all be moved. To quickly select all of the files in a folder, click to
select the first one as normal, then hold down SHIFT and click once on the
last file.
Instead of dragging, you can right-click on selected files and choose Cut,
then right-click somewhere inside the new folder and Paste. If you choose
Copy rather than Cut it will create copies rather than moving the original
files.

Bunker Hill & Beyond
by Mary Jo Watson
Bunker Hill News, there are so many little communities that have dissolved
into bigger areas around, where we live was a town called Forest
Home, up the road north Olive Johnson wrote from Slabtown. If you had a
country school within a mile they were also called by name and was a small
community in their own right. If you had to take a horse and buggy or ride
a small horse to school in the winter time you did not want to go far. I can
think of five small country schools around here I can remember. One sat on
the corner of Dahl Wickhams farm south. A Sanders school around the corner
from Veldhuizens, there was one on 146 on the corner of James Renaud
farm south. My Dawley cousins went to a small school north of Jeff Agan’s.
I remember going to a Halloween party at the county school invited by Jerry
and Betty Dawley. Even the parents went. There was one by Don Unruh’s
north. RL, husband, he and his siblings went to a country school north of
their home on 60th. St. Just south of Blue Point cemetery. Another was on
the corner of the cemetery to the East. We have pictures. If you have pictures
of these schools you should take them in to the Geological Society in Montezuma.
I never went to country school as we were two miles East of Searsboro
when I started to school, Ollie McDowell drove an old panel truck with
benches around the inside. I always got on the bus with a ten gallon can of
fresh milk for the day for the school. My Dad milked cows and sold it to the
school. Fresh. In the summer the women would meet at the school and can
food to serve for the lunch program. We have come a long way since then.
What a week, the furnace ran and brrrr, it was very cool. It felt like if the
sun did not shine soon we would become moldy.
Raymond attended the Board and share holders meeting at the Sale Barn
Monday night in Montezuma. I begged off this time.
We sold calves Tuesday, Camden helped RL sort. Rebekah and Elliott met
at her Mother’s house and I too met there and we went to Marshalltown to
visit Rachel and her family. .
I think it was the 13th. Our neighbors, Josh and Valerie Fisk’s little girl was
born. She was almost 8 pounds. I had her name here somewhere and now it
is lost on my desk. How does that happen? Her grandparents are Kraig and
Doreen Fisk and great grandparents are Ben and Harriet Fisk of Lynnville. I
don’t know Valerie’s side but I am sure they are just as proud.
Thursday evening we ran to Deep River to Doc Derinfield’s for some
chicken medicine and stopped at Lucille Watson’s. It was Luanne’s last night
here before we took her to the airport on Friday morning to fly to Albuquerque
for her father in laws memorial on Saturday. Josh Colburn, Michele
Dean, Martha and Amy Vos and we too visited with them a while.
We visited with Dale and Barb Heishman on Friday evening at their home
in Montezuma. What a beautiful day Friday was.
Saturday, our son Brian, his two boys, Camden and Ryan came over for
lunch. Karol and David Rockwell brought some stuff over and joined us at
the table.
Josh popped over on Friday a while. He has finished his two years of college
at Hawkeye in Waterloo. Gene and Barb Long went to Cedar Falls for
the two year graduation for Jessica Long.
RL and I visited with Jimmy and Rachel and Kieren Perez in Marshalltown
on Sunday and stopped at Coster’s on the way home. The men were trying
to get the babies room painted before she gets here. One thing about ultra
sounds today is you know what color to paint.
The AG church in New Sharon had a work day Saturday. I hope they had
a lot of help as we forgot the whole thing. As old as we are getting we may
have to send proxy’s.
Some tidbits to think about: The liquid inside young coconuts can be used
as a substitute for blood plasma. (Now to have a coconut on hand when you
need one).Donkey’s kill more people annually than plane crashes or shark
attacks. (Good thing I don’t have any donkey’s). But we must remember
other countries do. Oak trees do not produce acorns until they are fifty years
of age or older. (Now I beg to differ, at the other house a five year old tree
shed a few small acorns when we lived there). Maybe a freak thing. Now get
this, American Airline saved $40,000 in 1987 by eliminating one olive. My
mind is reeling now of what else to eliminate. Can’t resist this one. Most dust
particles in your house are made from DEAD SKIN. Yuck!

Country Girl’s Corner:
Spring Fancies
Tulip Time is now a thing of the past, but we had a good time when it was
here. We went down on Saturday morning to check out the craft show at
West Market Park, but it was so cold, it wasn’t much fun. We soon hustled
back down the street to Smokey Row for a couple bowls of hot soup and hot
drinks to warm us up. The restaurant was cozy after the biting cold outside.
Still, in spite of that, the whole town was chock full of folks. In fact, you
could hardly walk on the sidewalks it was so crowded.
We saw a few people we knew and our youngest grandson, Patrick, his
mom Heidi, and little friend Eli joined us in the afternoon for the parade.
Afterwards, we visited a few shops, let the kids enjoy the playground at West
Market, and then had an early supper at Applebee’s. As always, the food and
especially the company, were both great.
Recently, I looked through the old plush photo album that had belonged
to my great-grandmother. Many family photos are inside, but most have not
been marked, so we have no idea who they are. Several are known, however,
and one is a small black and white photo of my maternal grandmother at
about age 13. In the photo, she has a high pompadour of dark red hair; expressive
eyes in an oval face, and a pert little nose and chin.
Imagine my surprise when several people recently commented on how
much this young girl looked like Patrick. I brought out his latest photo at
age 8 and was amazed how very much he does look like her—the same
piquant little face—those genes that have come down through to the fifth
generation—even to the red hair. I ran off a copy for him and his mom.
This past week I had a friend come up for lunch. We hadn’t seen each other
for some time, so it was nice to get together to chat. This past week was also
the beginning of housecleaning time—such as shelves that accumulate dust
and cobwebs over the winter and need freshened up.
Wednesday evening, I drove our dulcimer girls down to Oskaloosa to present
a program for the Mother-Child Banquet at the First Christian Church.
Quite a crowd attended and we were invited to partake of the supper. Afterwards,
everyone came upstairs to the sanctuary for some dulcimer music. It
was a friendly, appreciative group and several came up later to ask about the
dulcimers and chat with us. We were very thankful that the rain mostly held
off as we drove down and back.
Thursday was errands in other towns. Lately, we have been going to the
big Costco store in West Des Moines and boy, is it something. I am not really
a “big store” person, but this place has just about everything. We have been
there three times so far and have yet to see it all! What impresses me most is
the quality of the fresh fruits and vegetables. Several of us use a lot of carrots
and they have a big 10 lb. bag of organic carrots at a very reasonable price.
I also picked up some kiwi fruit, a big pineapple, a large box of spinach,
and a nice sack of fresh clementines. Apparently, Costco gets new shipments
daily. The store is very clean and the people seem very friendly.
Friday was back to work at home with laundry, ironing, washing up the
decorator fabric I had found on sale for only three dollars a yard and having
lunch with our neighbors on the patio. Loren kept busy last week with
repairs, mowing and trimming the yard, and baking cookies. Did you smell
them?
Saturday was Sully Clean-up Day, so many took serious note of that and
all Friday afternoon hauled bunches of discards out to the street for pickup. It
was quite entertaining to watch cars and trucks and even kids on bikes driving
by the various homes on our street to stop and check through the piles.
“What is one man’s junk is another man’s treasure”, one of the neighbors
said with a grin. Agreed and I did come home with a few little “treasures” of
my own. Even at 10 pm that evening, vehicles were still driving up and down
the streets in town doing their own form of “dumpster diving”. I thought it
all great fun.
We checked out the auction here in town on Saturday morning, but soon
wound up back home doing a few more projects. In the afternoon, I finally
found time to label my hostas. Thankfully, I had made a few maps of the various
beds, but had moved some of the plants and added new ones, so needed
to sort this all out—which took awhile. A good friend had lent me her very
complete hosta book several years ago, and it was so helpful in identifying
the different plants. Some hostas grow huge and take up lots of space, so last
year we moved several as they were getting much too crowded. Some hostas
are small and compact and don’t need as much.
I had found some nice metal labels, so proceeded to letter each one. There
were about five plants I had not been able to identify, so it feels so good to
walk around the various flowerbeds and know all my hostas have a name.
It is still pretty chilly out, so hope and pray we soon get some warmer
weather. I am more than ready for sunny, blue-sky days. How about you?

proud of
you!

Tales of the Ancient Sportsman
By Burdell Hensley
What a bum deal! I had a tour to St. Louis Wednesday and Thursday for a
pair of Cardinal games and the Cardinals played like flubs this time. We sat
through two miserable games and the only good thing was that the weather
was beautiful and the stadium was in full red splendor.
We left Wednesday morning and drove through heavy rain in northeast
Missouri. The forecast called for rain most of the day and into the evening.
We checked into the beautiful Drury Plaza Hotel and then went to dinner at
the Old Spaghetti Factory. After dinner our bus driver dropped us off at the
stadium and he had to park at a hotel parking lot a couple of miles away. The
hotel provided a taxi to shuttle him back and forth. We found that negotiating
a bus in the LaClede’s Landing area was quite a challenge.
When we arrived at the stadium the clouds seemed to part and it was a gorgeous
evening with a gentle breeze passing through the stadium. The place
was a buzz of activity and a sea of red. We did have to deal with an occasional
Cub hat, but they were very insignificant.
I did learn that if you plan to go to Busch Stadium, you had better take
many shekels with you. Five dollars for a bottle of water!!! I should have
gone into the bottled water business when I was a kid, but the time was not
right.
There was a wonderful spring in Fred Robinson’s pasture, just about 200
yards from my favorite fishing hole on Walnut Creek. When I got thirsty I
would go up to the spring and lie on my belly and drink that super cold spring
water bubbling out of the ground. That water was so good and so satisfying.
I don’t know what it cost as I just put it on God’s tab.
It was wall to wall sunshine on Thursday morning, but a bank of ominous
black clouds loomed in the west and the forecast was for rain about game
time. The Missouri River seemed to block the clouds and it turned out to be
a great day for baseball. But the Red Birds stunk again and we had to leave
town without seeing them win. We did have a great time with some wonderful
new friends and we even had a Cub fan along to keep us humble.
I am fast becoming a soccer grandpa. Emily is playing on the Oskaloosa
10 and under team and Saturday they played the Ottumwa 10-U team in Ottumwa.
I must add that the Osky team is all girls and the Ottumwa team was
all boys. Osky at a disadvantage? Not at all. Those girls bounced the boys
all over the pasture and took a 4-2 win. It was obvious which team was more
physical.
The Ancient-ess has been on the banquet circuit lately with Mother-Daughter
banquets at Faith Community Church in Eddyville and Union Liberty
Church near Bussey. She needed some exercise and she got it as the soccer
complex was huge and the field we needed was on the back 40. The way I
see it, it appears to be a waste of good grazing land.
Before the soccer match we took in a pair of baseball games in Ottumwa.
Alec and Christopher’s team beat the second Ottumwa team 6-5 and then lost
to the Osky 11 year-olds 2-1 in a very well played game for that age. Osky
scored an unearned run in the bottom of the final inning to win it.
After the soccer match we came back to Oskaloosa for a pair of Babe Ruth
games by Logan’s team. We had followed them to Newton Friday night for
two games, so they played four games in two days. A rather intense schedule
I would think. I made the following observations. 60 foot, six inch pitching
distance is way too far for a 13 year-old. A 90 foot distance between bases is
too far for a 13 year-old. A Pony League diamond is much more suited for
that age.
Sunday was a slow day and I needed that. After church and dinner, I went
to the pond for a while. There was an ugly wind blowing out of the northeast
and the pond was high and riled. After 30 minutes I came back home
and went to the golf course. At least I could stay warm while walking. The
golfing was like Cardinal baseball. I would play well in spurts and then
have some holes that were really bad. At least I played all nine holes with

NSMC Announces Sports
Physical Program
New Sharon Memorial Clinic will host the popular sports physical program
again this year. The $20 fee collected for the sports physical completed
by New Sharon Memorial Clinic medical staff will be donated to the school
of the student’s choice. Dates for the special sports physicals are June 15,
July 15, and August 17.
In 2009, the New Sharon Memorial Clinic donated $660 to area schools
including North Mahaska High School, Montezuma High School, Pella High
School, Pella Christian High School, Peoria Christian, and Oskaloosa High
School.
The purpose of a school sports physical is to make sure student athletes are
physically ready to play their game. This is also a good opportunity for the
physician or nurse practitioner to speak with healthy students about issues
such as nutrition, wellness, and avoiding drugs, alcohol, and smoking.
To make an appointment for a sports physical, call the New Sharon Memorial
Clinic at 641-637-4046. The New Sharon Memorial Clinic is located at
302 South Park St., New Sharon. It is an affiliated clinic of GRMC.
