Terry’s Turn

Keyboarding just isn’t the sameI’ve been looking at new comput-

ers lately. I wanted to upgrade to all the newest bells and whistles I keep hearing about. As part of my exhaus-tive search for a new computer, I found myself wandering the aisles of one of those giant elec-tronic stores. I stopped in front of one display featuring a lap-top that had more memory and functions than John Glenn’s Freedom Seven space capsule. As I looked at that amazing computer, I thought back to the early days of my writing career and how I put those magical words on paper.

When I graduated from high school, my sister gave me a portable Royal manual typewriter. It was just a few years later that I put that typewriter to use to write my first magazine article. I first wrote the story by hand on a yellow legal pad then carefully typed it out with my Royal typewriter. I proudly mailed that article and was soon rewarded with my first rejection slip.

I was of course devastated with that rejection especially since I had worked so hard to put those 2,500 words on paper. Even though that Royal typewriter did a good job it did, in fact, have a few drawbacks. If I happened to hit two keys at the same time they would get stuck together. And if I didn’t notice the problem right away and kept typing, the keys would suddenly freeze. I’d look up and see a mass of typewriter keys all stuck together. I would then spend five minutes untangling that mechanical mess.

Even a simple typing mistake could turn into a huge problem. It could very well be a major undertaking to fix it. Part of the problem was every-thing I wrote had to have a copy. Back then copies on a typewriter were made with carbon paper. A mis-take not only had to corrected on the original, it needed to be corrected on the carbon copy.

At first I made those corrections with an eraser. That worked but not real well, especially when I would rub too hard and go right through the paper. Start over. Later I found that little bottle of white paint to get rid of small mistakes. Large mistakes meant only one thing. Start over.

Several years later I moved up to

an electric typewriter. It was like going from an old Chevy to a BMW. It didn’t matter if I hit the H with my forefinger or an A with my pinky, the keys hit the paper with the same strength. Amazing.

It wasn’t long before I updated again and this time to an IBM Selectric. Now this was a typewriter. It had a ball you could exchange for another and change the font. It also had a correction ribbon that with the press of a key could correct a mis-take. It couldn’t get any better than this. Or so I thought.

Sometime in the early 1980s I moved into the computer age and bought a Tandy 2000 computer from Radio Shack. Not only could I cor-rect mistakes on the screen before I printed a document, I could store them forever on a 5 1/4 inch floppy disk.

Then in 1986 I began writing for the Sioux City Journal using that Tandy computer. I would type the story on the computer, print it out, then take the pages and my exposed roll of black and white film into the Journal offices where they would enter the story into their system, process the film and print photos. It seemed simple back then but now, not so much.

Today I enter stories into my com-puter then e-mail it to the editor. Since I use a digital camera I can e-mail my photos to the photo depart-ment at the Journal. I haven’t seen the inside of the Sioux City Journal offices in years.

As I looked at those new computers lined up in the store waiting for me to buy one, I had an idea. Maybe I could just go back to that old yellow legal pad and Royal manual type-writer. I could get back to my real roots in writing. It would be exciting. It would be fun. It would be...stupid.

Instead I called over a salesman, pointed to one of the computers and pulled out my credit card.

Comfortable, well-lit, welcoming showrooms; attention to detail and honesty and truthfulness when serving customers has always been the vision of the Luken Memorials business. And now, a new feature is helping to present the Luken story to an even wider audience, with the launch of a new website…www.lukenmemorials.com.

The website allows viewers to see photos of dozens of memorials that have been designed and installed in the past few years. And, although the website offers a broad selection of shapes,

styles, sizes and colors of granite, new memorials are added as new installations are completed. Bob Luken Jr. recently said “We are

extremely pleased with the website but consider it to be constantly evolving and improving. We are excited to be able to add new photos as they become available”.

www.lukenmemorials.com also offers viewers an insight into the history of Luken Memorials, including a video interview with Bob Luken Sr. and video testimonials from previous customers.

Luken Memorials is a family owned business that established its home base and carving cen-ter in Yankton, SD nearly sixty years ago, and

traces its roots in the granite memorial industry to before the turn of the 20th century. Expansion to other areas led to a total of eight stores including West River Monument in the Black Hills of South Dakota. Locations and contact information for all eight Luken stores can be found at www.lukenmemorials.com.

With Memorial Day 2012 on the horizon, Luken Memorials reminds you to purchase now to insure installation by Memorial Day (May 28, 2012).

The designing and carving of a granite memo-rial can take several weeks to complete and installation in area cemeteries must wait until the ground thaws in the spring. And rainy spring weather can cause installation delays, placing those last-minute spring purchases in peril.

Do you have a sincere desire to become more fit and healthy, but the idea of exercising outdoors or in a public gym brings you to a dead stop?

Many people who are self-con-scious about their size or fitness level find it uncomfortable or even distressing to exercise in public. Maybe they believe that others are looking at them critically. They might think they don’t fit in with fit people. They may even fear someone is going to say something insulting to them.

It’s common to put off walking around the neighborhood or joining a gym, thinking, “When I lose weight I’ll get out there and start training.”

Invariably, that day never comes.

Few people can manage their weight without incorporating exercise. Most likely, more weight is gained and more precious health is com-promised. Because of society’s bias when it comes to weight, it’s under-standable why many people have such fear of exercising in public. Yet most of the beliefs that keep people from moving forward with their fit-ness are just that – beliefs. Here are some points that are closer to the truth:

too concerned about themselves to worry about those around them. In fact, the person whose opinion you fear may herself worry about what others are thinking about her. More likely, however, she’s thinking about other things entirely.

could be completely wrong in your beliefs about what others think, yet you’re allowing those beliefs to rule your life.

that make us feel bad, it’s our own. It’s important to realize that it’s your own thinking that’s in your way, not

You can get past the fear of exercising in public

Books

BY JENNIFER FORKERThe Associated Press

Today’s artists and crafters use the Internet not only to promote themselves, but to sell their wares. Good-quality images sell a product; inferior images don’t.

So it makes business sense to learn a few tricks of the photo-graphic trade.

Whether your subject is curios or objets d’art, look for the best natural light and a simple back-ground before launch-ing into a photo shoot, advises Me Ra Koh, a Takoma, Wash., photog-rapher and author of “Your Baby in Pictures” (Amphoto Books, 2011).

“Get everything out of the background that doesn’t enhance the story you’re trying to tell,” says Koh. “It only takes a second to move a pop can for a photo that’s going to last a lifetime.”

And ditch your auto-matic flash, which cre-ates harsh lighting.

“The built-in flash is evil,” says Koh. “It’s never going to be a flat-tering shot.”

If you’re photograph-ing your wares inside, put your back to a win-dow, with the photo sub-ject facing the outdoor light.

Outside, skip the pic-turesque park in favor of the parking lot.

“Grass sucks up sun-light. It bounces green,” says Koh. “We end up looking darker in the photo than what we actually see.”

The gray tones of gravel and cement, on the other hand, provide a neutral color that bounces up flattering light and fills in shad-ows on artwork.

William Dohman, who sells wooden signs and scenic images at his store, Oh Dier, at the online marketplace Etsy.com, is an archi-tect and self-taught photographer who plans each photo shoot in his St. Paul, Minn., studio. Dohman likes to photo-graph his products in front of old buildings, which imbue his images with texture and color.

But don’t overuse those backgrounds, he warns; it can look busy.

Heidi Adnum begins with lighting in her book, “The Crafter’s Guide to Taking Great Photos” (Interweave Books, 2011). She, too, recommends natural, diffused light for prod-uct shoots, and urges crafters to learn how to

work with it.“We just see light

as light until we start to understand it bet-ter,” says Adnum, of Newcastle, Australia.

Other tips from her book:

cloudy day. Shade pro-vides naturally diffused light.

tent - a box that acts as a mini-studio – if shoot-ing near a window is not possible. Crafters can make their own.

artificial light, go for cheap, household lamps such as a desk lamp with an adjustable head. Make sure the bulb is white and that you diffuse the light. To diffuse light, use sheer white parchment paper or a white shower cur-tain.

Emily Free Wilson, a ceramics artist in Helena, Mont., needs to take professional-quality images of her colorful vases and din-nerware to post on her website, Free Ceramics, and at an Etsy shop of the same name. She thinks it was the quality

of her images that land-ed her pottery on the cover of a recent issue of Ceramics Monthly magazine.

Her secret weapon? A white-to-black grada-tion backdrop that cre-ates an optical illusion: white in the foreground and black in the back-ground. It adds depth to an image.

“The artwork has a stronger presence, like it’s on stage,” says Wilson. “It’s a really nice little trick.”

If a photo needs help, Photoshop can come to the rescue.

But experts caution against relying on the software to turn an average image into a dazzler.

For Koh, it’s a time issue: She’d rather take the time to set up a great shot than clean it up later. “Good photo-graphs don’t need . to be saturated with ‘what I did in Photoshop’,” Koh says.

Adnum recommends using Photoshop to crop out distractions, or add graphics or text - especially handy for describing products on

Etsy - but that’s it.“If you’re selling an

item based on a photo-graph, and your photo-graph makes your item look different, there’s a risk (the buyer) will be disappointed,” she says. “Ultimately, I think you want to keep your photograph as simple as possible, and con-vey the messages that you want to and show your product in its best light.”

If Photoshop is nec-essary, Adnum’s book includes a chapter on some basics. There are Photoshop tutori-als online and compa-nies that offer online classes.

These photographic and editing techniques serve a new era: that of passing images not hand-by-hand but via the Internet.

“Everyone has a ‘share’ button,” says Jodi Friedman, of West Bloomfield, Mich., whose MCP Actions sells Photoshop short-cuts online. It’s worth it these days to learn how to take better pictures, she says: “The whole world sees them.”

It’s not unusual to see cars parked in the Trinity Heights parking lot well before sunrise, according to Mary Stevens.

More than 100,000 people from all over the world flock to the inspi-rational destination that blends art, nature and the teachings of Christianity each year out of sheer curiosity or the need to find a quiet place to pray and reflect.

“We hear people say, ‘It’s just so peaceful here. I just get out of the car and I feel such peace,’” said Stevens, who manages St. Joseph Center, which houses Trinity Heights’ museum.

Providing people with a place to experience the peace that Jesus Christ gives, Stevens said, was the Rev. Harold Cooper’s dream.

In the mid-1980s, Cooper, then pas-tor of St. Joseph Church in Sioux City, and the non-profit corporation, Queen of Peace, Inc., set out to pur-chased the 80-acre property perched atop a hill at 33rd Street and Outer Drive on Sioux City’s north side.

Almost 20 years later, pine trees, a pond, a stream and two dozen shrines dot the landscape, along with a chapel, gift shop and apartment housing for seniors.

Visitors can sit on benches and admire the 30-foot steel statues of Jesus and his mother, Mary, light a candle in the Divine Mercy Adoration Chapel, or view a hand-carved wood sculpture of the Last Supper.

Pillars or bollards accompany shrines depicting the six places where Mary appeared in the world. The 10 Commandments and 8 beati-tudes delivered by Christ in the

Sermon on the Mount are also pres-ent on the grounds.

Although Trinity Heights is Catholic in theology, Stevens said it is ecumenical in intent and appeal.

“We’re like an open Catechism,” she said. “The basics of Christianity are here.”

BUILDING A DREAM In 1912 the Franciscan Fathers

purchased 53 acres of land on the city’s north side. They built three buildings that housed Trinity High School and College.

By the mid 1950s, the educational institution was abandoned and sold to a real estate developer.

After seeing a 30-foot tall statue of the Immaculate Heart of Mary Queen of Peace in Santa Clara, Calif., it became Cooper’s dream to bring one to Sioux City.

A group of lay persons formed the non-profit corporation, Queen of Peace, Inc., in an effort to buy the Trinity High School and College property and make Cooper’s dream a reality.

At $325,000, the land was too costly. The group prayed the Rosary daily on the abandoned property for six years. Then the price of the land dropped under $100,000, and Queen of Peace, Inc. purchased it about 1987 and begin developing Trinity Heights.

Stevens said the men who attended Trinity High School and College played a big part in establishing Trinity Heights and continue to sup-port it with monetary donations and by volunteering their time at St.

FINDING AN ARTISTThe Marian Center Gift Shop and Resource

Center opened in 1990, the same year nationally renowned sculptor Dale Lamphere, of Spearfish, S.D., was commission to create the Immaculate Heart of Mary Queen of Peace.

The 30-foot tall stainless steel statue was dedi-cated in 1993. Almost immediately, Stevens said buses began regularly driving up the dirt road so tourists could get a glimpse of the statue.

Over the next three years, Trinity Gardens and the Circle of Life Memorial to the Unborn were built on the grounds, along with St. Joseph Center and Museum. The center’s octagon room houses Jerry Traufler’s “Last Supper” - a life-size rendi-tion of the Last Supper.

Traufler, a postal employee from Le Mars and self-taught sculptor, carved each figure out of basswood and pine with a chisel and mallet.

“This is really an attraction for people from all over the world because it’s so unique,” Stevens said.

The Sacred Heart of Jesus statue, a 33-foot stainless steel work by Lamphere, was added in 1999. It anchors one end of the property. On the other: the Immaculate Heart of Mary Queen of Peace, whose right hand points to Jesus. Her left hand welcomes visitors.

Various shrines were added in the following years, including the Way of the Saints - six clus-ters honoring 60 saints. A statue of Moses over-looks the Way of the Saints from a hill.

Among the latest additions to Trinity Heights are St. Anthony’s Senior Housing, a neighbor-hood of 12 homes; statues of Cooper, St. Paul and St. Peter; and the Veteran’s Memorial, which was dedicated this year.

Stevens said the rock engraved with the words “God Bless America” was placed on a patch of grass leading to the Sacred Heart of Jesus after 9/11. Bricks on the main walkway were added around it to honor veterans.

Family members can purchase a brick engraved with the name of their veteran and their photo for $250.

Memorial plaques affixed to bollards, rocks and benches throughout the park can also be purchased to honor loved ones and help support Trinity Heights.

Although she said there are no immediate plans for future expansion at Trinity Heights, Stevens doesn’t rule it out.

“Obviously God wants us to be here because we have been very blessed,” she said.

HARFORD, Pa. — For more than a decade, Bronson Pinchot has spent much of his down-time in the picture-book Pennsylvania hamlet where he found a dream home far from the stressful clamor of New York or L.A.

Pinchot likely remains best known as the endearingly naïve, quasi-Mediterranean immigrant Balki Bartokomous from the TV sitcom “Perfect Strangers.” But unlike Balki, Pinchot is by his own admission “fiercely private” and an “intro-vert that does a pretty convincing perfor-mance as an extrovert.”

Still, he has decided to open his doors to America via “The Bronson Pinchot Project,” which pre-miered Feb. 11 on the

DIY Network on cable TV. In all, eight epi-sodes were shot over 13 weeks at the end of last year in Harford, a village founded in 1790 and nestled in the Endless Mountains of Susquehanna County near the New York state line. His filmography includes 1980s hits like “Risky Business” and

“Beverly Hills Cop,” but since “Perfect Strangers” ended in 1993 after eight seasons, Pinchot has performed on and off-Broadway, appeared in touring theatrical productions and done voiceovers and audio-books. His new show, though, is altogether different. First, the

designs are his own. “I get a kick out of it because I sit there with a sketchbook and say, ‘This is what it should look like when it’s done’ and in the end it either looks like that or it’s better,” he said. “My theater training helps; in theater, it doesn’t matter where you’re at with your performance, opening night is open-ing night.”

Home base is Pinchot’s circa 1840 mansion in the center of Harford, a town of about 1,300 people. It was the home of state Sen. Edward Jones in the early 1900s and had more recently served as office space. Pinchot bought the place in 2000.

“I wanted a Greek Revival house within five driving hours of New York City,” Pinchot said. When he first walked in, he said, he knew he would buy it.

When he arrived, the

scene couldn’t have been better staged by a Hollywood set designer: The house smelled of cinnamon toast, the air outside smelled of fresh manure, a woman pushing a baby carriage paused to admire a neighbor’s fuchsia roses across the street.

“I was already sold, but that was like God was hitting me over the head with a sledgeham-mer,” he said. “OK, I get it, I get it!”

He now owns six historic properties in Harford, including what was a burned-out vacant home also from around 1840 and a sweet blue-shingled building that houses the town’s post office. Eventually, he hopes many of the prop-erties will be places for visiting friends to stay.

The first season’s architectural stars are his Ionic-columned mansion and Decker House, a smaller home rehabbed with salvaged wood from demolished old buildings, windows from an abandoned farmhouse and floors from a property for-merly part of late heiress Doris Duke’s estate. Not only is “The Bronson Pinchot Project” a show about historic restoration, it’s a love letter to his adopted hometown.

“Harford is to be seen through my lens, which is that that it’s heaven on earth,” he said. “None of this ‘big fish in a little pond.’ No. We’re not doing ‘Green Acres.’”

Pinchot, 52, an antiques collector and enthusiast of classical art and architecture since childhood, is a hands-on renovator who

employs local carpen-ters and craftspeople; many are slated to appear in the show.

Years of trial and error have culminated into the current style viewers will see tak-ing shape — a blend of English regency and American high country along with 19th-century plaster casts of ancient Greek sculpture and architectural flourishes. The goal is for rooms to look like they’ve taken shape over many decades, he said.

His earliest home rehab forays involved getting all the period details and furniture just right. But it felt wrong.

“I looked around and thought, ‘Well now all it’s missing is a docent and a leaflet that says where the cafe is,” he said. “I made a little museum and that’s not what I want.”

Things you won’t see in Bronson world: kitchen appliances. Refrigerators — which Pinchot calls “unac-ceptably, unforgivably ugly” — ovens, dish-washers and micro-waves are cleverly con-cealed behind salvaged wainscoting, cupboards and cabinets mounted clandestinely on hinges, like a bookcase hiding a castle’s secret passage-way. All of his proper-ties eventually will get the full “Bronsonian” treatment, a process shaped both by the availability of salvage materials and Pinchot’s own improvisational approach to renovating.

“I hope we can do this for 10 seasons!” he said. “We could do an episode on every room.”

BY TERRY TURNER HICKORY CORNERS, Mich. – If

you’ve ever dreamed of finding an old car in a barn, look no further than the Gilmore Car Museum near Kalamazoo, Mich. The rolling countryside of Hickory Corners has eight historic barns filled with vintage cars of all makes and models.

The Gilmore Car Museum began in 1963 when Genevieve Gilmore innocently gave her hus-band Donald an antique car for his birthday. It was a 1923 Peirce-Arrow “project car” which meant it needed a lot of work. Gilmore and a few friends put the car under a tent and began a complete restoration. It wasn’t long before Gilmore’s hobby

turned into a passion and his collec-tion grew to more than 30 classic cars.

Gilmore then purchased 90 acres of farm land and had several his-toric barns dismantled and moved to the property to house his growing collection. Genevieve suggested he open a museum so future genera-tions could enjoy his collection. The Gilmores formed a non-profit orga-nization and opened the Gilmore Car Museum to the public Sunday July 31, 1966. Donald Gilmore died in 1979 and Genevieve died in 1990 but the legacy they left in preserving antique automobiles still continues.

Today along with the eight historic barns is a recreated 1930s service station and a small town train depot. Also among the artifacts is a collec-tion of almost 75 antique pedal cars and one of North America’s largest collection of hood ornaments.

Visitors can see unique cars like the 1899 Locomobile or more famil-

iar cars like the classics from the 1950s. The collection is divided into groups such as Pierce Arrow, Duesenberg or the favorite clas-sics from Ford, General Motors and Chrysler.

tic piece of American highway history. It’s a 1941 roadside diner known as the “Blue Moon Diner.” The diner features the typical diner menu including hot dogs and, of course, coffee. One of the larg-est historic barns on the property is known as the Steam Barn because of the early steam era vehicles on display inside. Displays in the barn depict early designs for gas, steam and electric modes of power for automo-biles. A recent expan-sion of the barn now houses a special exhibit “Michigan Dream Garage - The Ultimate in Muscle Cars” that features 24 of the most sought after and favored Muscle Cars of the 1960s and early 1970s.

Admission to the Midwest Miniatures Museum is free with a paid admis-sion to the Gilmore Car Museum.

of the H. H. Franklin Company that built innovative air-cooled cars from 1902 to 1934.IF YOU GO
