Elvis Presley performs on the “Ed Sullivan Show” in this Sept. 9, 1956, file photo, which was his first of several appearances on the CBS show. He performed in Sioux City the same year.

Associated Press

I was walking through one of Sioux City’s major retail stores the other day and somehow ended up in the TV department. They had all the lat-est models including one that was as big as a picture window. The quality of the image on the screen was amazing. It was so sharp and clear it was bet-ter than real life.

As I looked at those marvelous pieces of tech-nology I thought back to my first introduction to television. It was in the early 1950s and I was living in Omaha and probably about 9 years old. The first television station in Omaha and in Nebraska went on the air Aug. 29 1949. It was WOW-TV now known as WOWT.

My family didn’t get a TV until 1956 so before that I had to rely on my rich neighbors for this new form of entertainment. The kid who lived across the alley from us had the first TV in the neighborhood. As soon as I heard this news I made sure we were buddies.

His TV was as large or larger than the console radio we had at home but the screen was very small and the picture was very grainy. Back then the broadcast day didn’t start until early evening or late afternoon. I don’t remember the exact time but I do remember if you tuned in too early all you saw was a test pattern. But even that was amazing. It took a few years before any real program-ming was available.

I remember a kids program called Snicker Flickers and it came on at noon. The idea was you could eat lunch along with the host of the program (I’ve forgotten his name) and watch silent film comedies from the 1920s. He seemed to eat a lot of

peanut butter sandwiches and car-rot sticks so I would usually ask my mother for a lunch just like that. After some preliminaries like read-ing letters kids sent in and wishing somebody a happy birthday he’d get down to showing a film. And those films were great.

At the time I know I didn’t recog-nize any of the people in those mov-ies, I just knew they were funny. I’m sure they included such major stars at the time as Harold Lloyd, Charlie Chase, Fatty Arbuckle, Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin. There was music and sound effects while the film played and the host added a narrative. The result was hilarious.

Today I have a small collection of silent film comedies on DVDs and get them out and watch them when I need a laugh. Even though I know what’s going to happen I laugh any-way. Those films are not only funny they give us a glimpse into what life was like back then. When I’m watch-ing one of those films I always look in the background at the cars, build-ings and houses. Several years ago I lived and worked in and around Los Angles where most of those com-edies were filmed. It’s interesting to me to see how things have changed. Back then the area around L.A. was very rural with mostly farm fields and orange groves. Now all that’s gone and replaced with houses and buildings.

It’s also been interesting to watch the changes that have occurred with television programs. When we final-ly got a TV in 1956 there were a lot of variety shows on the air. Milton Berle, Steve Allen, Ernie Kovacs and Ed Sullivan were just a few. I found out recently that 1956 was a year for a lot of firsts in this new medium of television. Chet Huntley and David Brinkley began their nightly news broadcast called The Huntley-Brinkley Report on October 29th. Elvis Presley appeared on the Ed

Sullivan Show for the first time on September 9th. Networks began to use videotape for the first time that year. And one of the most enduring of all motion pictures was shown for the first time on network television that year. The 1939 MGM classic “The Wizard of Oz” premièred on CBS on Nov. 3 with an estimated audience of 45 million.

Today “The Wizard of Oz” is still shown occasionally (I watched it just the other night) but all those great

comedies and variety shows are a thing of the past. It’s true that a lot of those old shows are available on DVD but wouldn’t it be nice if we could see something today on net-work TV besides grisly crime scenes and sexual promiscuity?

When I watch TV I’d much rather see a silent movie comedy and eat a peanut butter sandwich and carrot sticks.

SIOUX CITY – Indie music favorite Wilco and up and coming blues guitars Gary Clark Jr. are among the top acts in the 22nd annual Saturday in the Park music fes-tival lineup. Joining Wilco and Clark Jr. on the Grandview Park Bandshell stage for the free July 7 event is The Chris Robinson Brotherhood.

The lineup may not pack quite the same name recognition as previous festivals, but the quality of the music is unquestioned.

“This year I think it’s a musically awe-some lineup,” said SITP co-founder Dave Bernstein. “We didn’t go as commercial as we did last year, and we’re OK with that.”

Wilco has quietly built its alternative-rock rep-utation on the back of bandleader Jeff Tweedy for more than 15 years. The group is touring this summer in support

of its 10th studio album, the Grammy-nominated “The Whole Love,” which was released in 2011. The Chicago five-piece ensemble will unleash its mix of rock, country and mellow experimental music.

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. | As she got older, Gail McDaniel felt she should be doing more to make the world better.

She’d been laid off after a long career in retail, her career-coaching sideline was tapering off and she wanted to keep working — but only at something that would contribute to society.

“I wanted to do some good,” McDaniel said. “It is not uncommon for people who are older to want to give back and do something that feels good.”

Now McDaniel, who’s in her 60s, is the assis-tant to the executive director at My Sister’s Place, a women’s shel-ter in the New York suburbs. The connection was made by a company called ReServe, which pairs professionals 55 and older, most of them retired or semiretired, with nonprofit groups or public agencies that can use their skills — at a discount.

McDaniel is making just $10 an hour, and working just 20 hours a week, but said she’s “never been happier.”

“I wanted something that felt worthwhile and the mission here is very powerful,” she said.

Nearly 1,500 “ReServists” have put

in time over the past seven years, and more than 500 are working now at a broad variety of positions.

There are college mentors, bookkeep-ers, writers, teachers, paralegals, administra-tive assistants, doctors, nurses and even greet-ers at the wedding cha-pel in New York’s City Hall.

“We could never afford these social workers, these retired accountants,” said Janice Chu, who coordi-nates the ReServe pro-gram for 17 New York City agencies, includ-ing the departments of health, corrections and the aging. “They’re such an asset with their years and years of experience.”

New York City’s is the original and larg-est ReServe opera-tion, but the company has branches in Westchester County, N.Y.; Newark, N.J.; Baltimore; Miami; and southeast Wisconsin.

ReServists work an average of 15 hours a week at that $10 wage — no health benefits — and the agencies get professional expertise without paying any-thing close to going rates.

Officials say that because nonprofits, never flush, are bat-tling the slow economy, some of the talents

most in demand are fund raising and grant writing. Experience in personnel and account-ing is also highly val-ued, as is the ability to speak a language besides English.

“Nonprofits can’t afford to purchase those skills at market prices,” said Linda Breton, ReServe’s director of affiliate relations.

The nonprofits pay $15 an hour, of which $2.60 goes to ReServe and $2.40 to the com-pany that manages pay-roll and taxes.

About 50 percent of ReServe’s funding comes from private foundations and public grants, said spokesman Jesse Dean.

Breton said there’s been no trouble attract-ing qualified applicants.

“We have more people than we can place,” she said. “Recruiting retired professionals has proven to be very easy. They’re passion-ate about something and they want to give back.”

Getting the nonprof-its to post positions is more difficult.

“Lots of them can’t afford people even at $10 an hour,” Breton said.

Nevertheless, ReServe feels the wage is important to a pro-fessional arrangement.

“The stipend means

everybody has skin in the game,” Breton said. “A volunteer can say, ‘It’s a crummy day, I don’t think I’ll go in.’ A professional doesn’t do that.”

Karen Cheeks-Lomax, the executive director at My Sister’s Place, said the $10 “helps formalize the relation-ship, but in an infor-mal way. It allows the ReServist to create a life in the nonprofit but also continue her other life, or his other life, which may be golfing on Tuesday, book club, whatever.”

McDaniel said the $10 helps her save for trips abroad, but she gets more from the feeling that she’s valued by her boss.

“I am told on a regu-lar basis how valuable I am,” she said. “That’s sexy stuff. It beats the 10 bucks.”

ReServe was founded

in 2005 by three men involved with non-profits who “knew retirees who wanted to do something with their careers’ worth of skills,” Dean said.

The only basic requirement for appli-cants, besides being at least 55 years old, is computer literacy, Breton said, and “every day that’s less of a problem” as fewer older people resist com-puters.

At a recent gathering in Manhattan of people interested in signing up, staffer Suzanne O’Keefe mentioned a sampling of available positions — helping with an audit, getting elderly people to take their medications, working as a classroom aide for young children at a school near the Bronx Zoo.

The session attracted 19 people, including

a doctor, a nurse, an architect, a TV execu-tive, a few teachers and a real estate lawyer. Most had retired, some had been forced out and some were just looking for something different to do.

O’Keefe asked each to say what they would most like to do for 20 hours a week — a “dream job.”

“Ballerina,” said Marie Sevy of Englewood, N.J., to laughter. Then she said she had put off plans to teach while she raised her children, and “I want to go back to working with kids again now that I’m a grandma and my grandkids are far away.”

Retired architect Larry Litchfield, 80, of Manhattan, said he would enjoy mentoring.

“I’m still healthy and vibrant and I have time. I’d like to be useful.”

ReServe pairs professionals over 55 with nonprofit groups or public agencies that can use their skills.

Think changing jobs is difficult?

It can be even harder if you’re a baby boomer.

Although there are federal laws against age discrimination, some employers may be reluc-tant to hire older work-ers, concerned about how long they’ll stay and the higher salaries they may demand.

But the traditional retirement age of 65 is fading, just as the 77-million-strong, baby-boom generation begins hitting it. The idea of lifetime job tenure, in which people stay in one job for their entire career, is also disap-pearing, and that can be good news for those looking to make a move.

Companies that are more thinly staffed than in the past may well be “looking for someone who can come in and do the job,” without needing a lot of train-ing or supervision, said John Challenger, CEO of the outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas. Workers in their 50s or older can bring that added value, he said.

With the aging of the baby boomers — the generation born between 1946 and 1964 — the percentage of workers 55 and older in the labor force is expected to jump from 19.5 percent in 2010 to 25.2 percent by 2020, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

ing new jobs, Challenger said it’s easier to change industries than to change functions.

“If you’re a salesper-son in a professional services firm, you can go do that in a banking organization,” he said, as an example.

That’s also important if you’re trying to main-tain the same level of income. “If you go to something brand new, you’re not going to hold income,” he said.

When writing resumes, boomers should highlight their accomplishments over the previous five or 10 years, even if takes more than a single page. And networking is criti-cal, he said. This is the time for baby boomers to join civic, commu-nity, charitable or other

organizations, and get to know new people. It’s through these relation-ships that people find jobs, Challenger said.

When Barbara Brochstein, 60, of Wantagh, N.Y., decided to begin a new career as a special education

teacher 10 years ago, it was a stretch from the career in advertising that she left after her children were born. But it was a logical next step from the teacher’s aide position she took when they were teenagers, she said.

So she got a master’s degree in education at age 50 and was one of five teachers hired together by the same department. She was considerably older than the others.

It wasn’t so much her age that worried her, she said, as it was that she was doing something new. But looking back 10 years later, “You just have to decide to do it. You come with a lot of experience and a lot of knowledge.”

Like other workers, many boomers are look-ing for a job that “gives them room for growth, is challenging and meaningful,” Challenger said.

He said people shouldn’t stay in a posi-tion that makes them unhappy. But what

makes them unhappy isn’t always the type of work they’re doing. “Often when people look at it more closely, it’s actually the people and the culture of that orga-nization,” he said.

Marc Freedman, author of “The Big Shift: Navigating the New Stage Beyond Midlife,” said boom-ers often will switch careers to areas that have social impact, including education and health care.

“In their 50s and 60s, people’s priorities change,” he said. “They realize that the road doesn’t go on forever. I think it causes a lot of people to re-evaluate what kind of job they want to do, what kind of life they want to lead.”

Freedman founded

and is CEO of Civic Ventures, which describes itself as a nonprofit think tank on boomers, work and social purpose. Its website, Encore.org, has information about moving from a private sector job to one with a nonprofit.

Among its programs are Encore Fellowships, which provide stipends to help people make that transition. Leslye Louie, national director of the program and a former fellow herself, said the average fel-low is around 55 or 57, has been successful in the private sector, and wants to do something different and contrib-ute to the greater good. “They’re looking more at their legacy,” she says.

RAPID CITY | For more than 30 years, comedian Louie Anderson has culti-vated a reputation as a clean comic, and he attributes his success in that endeavor to his Midwestern roots.

Anderson grew up in Minnesota, and his parents met in South Dakota.

“My roots go back to South Dakota with my mom and my fam-ily. My mom grew up near Mitchell. We used to visit there all the time, Sioux Falls and Mitchell,” he said. “My mom and dad met, I think, at the Corn Palace. He was a musi-cian.”

Anderson remem-bers visiting relatives in South Dakota — a

pheasant-hunting uncle, in particular — as a child.

“We used to go to South Dakota, and I remem-ber eating pheas-ant. I’m holding a stuffed pheasant. I remember that being a highlight,” he said.

Anderson’s cur-rent show, “Big Baby Boomer,” includes some of the classic bits that made Anderson famous since his national tele-vision debut on the “Tonight Show with Johnny Carson” in 1984. “Life with Louie,” a Saturday-morning car-toon series based on his childhood and his life

with his father, debuted in 1995. “Big Baby Boomer” covers topics such as food, family and getting older.

“I’m talking about how once you turn 50, things all change. First of all, time moves fast-er. People come up to you and ask, ‘What did you today?’ and you go, ‘It’s over?’ I ate soup,” he said.

The show carries Anderson’s trademark clean humor, cover-ing a wide spectrum of ages that makes the performance suitable for entire families. And that makes the show perfect for the Midwest cities he plans to appear in on the tour.

“The great thing about it is, I’m visit-ing the Midwest and the places that defined my comedy. It’s the

place that made me a clean comic,” he said. “I’m not saying Midwesterners are prudes, but they like good, clean fun. I had to work really hard to get to that level, and I give credit to the Midwest audiences,” Anderson said.

Anderson, who per-forms regularly in Las Vegas, hasn’t appeared in South Dakota since a show at the Corn Palace in the late 1980s, so he is looking forward to his shows in Rapid City and Sioux Falls.

“I get to see a lot of people when I’m in South Dakota,” he said. “It’s a nice break from Vegas to come back to reality. It’s good to see some trees ‘cause the only trees here are made out of metal,” he said.

As the sun-splashed days of summer surround us, Iowa health officials are urging residents to protect their skin and their eyesight from the damaging effects of the sun.

Bright sunshine provides great opportunities for outdoor fun and work. But the sun’s ultraviolet light also

increases the risk of cataracts and fosters about 20,000 new cases of skin cancer every year in Iowa, About 95 percent of skin cancer cases are caused by exposure to

ultraviolet light, nearly all of which comes from sunlight. Iowans who spend time outdoors, health officials said, should make sunscreen and a nifty pair of shades part

of their summertime routine, health officials said.

SIOUX CITY | Rod Ketchens has a knack for picking things up.

After all, he’s already picked up titles such as Mr. Iowa (three times). Mr. America, Mr. USA and capped off his amateur career by qualifying to become an International Federation of Bodybuilding Professional Body Builder.

That’s to say nothing to barbells and dumb-bells Ketchens, a certi-fied fitness coach, picks up when he teaches stu-dents on ways in which they can pump up.

But the most impor-tant thing the 45-year-old Sioux City man has picked up was a desire to live a healthy lifestyle, which began when he was 11 years old.

“That’s when I got

my first weight set,” Ketchens, who runs RK Solid at the Four Seasons Health Club, explained. “I started lifting weights to stay out of trouble. Instead, it changed my life.”

A competitive track and field athlete as well as a former football player at Morningside College, he recalls a time when having a bodybuilder’s physique was frowned upon in

many sports.“Believe it or not,

people thought mus-cle equaled bulk,” Ketchens said, remem-bering fitness attitudes from the 1980s. “They thought it would slow you down.”

Today, track stars, tennis players and golf-ers are lifting weights in order the raise their game.

“It’s all about strength, balance and

You can use barbell but two dumbbells give you a wider range of motion.Target areas: Chest, back, triceps, shoulders, among other areas.SHOULDER PRESSWeight Lifting 245.jpgWhat is it: A exercise that both strengthens and tones, a shoulder press can be performed seated or standing up.Target areas: Shoulders, biceps, triceps.LAT PULLDOWN(Weight Lifting 136.jpg)What is it: Know what a lat is? It’s short for the latissimus dorsi, the long muscle that spans most of your back on either side of your spine. A lat pulldown, performed on a lat machine, will give you sinewy muscles.Target areas: Back, spinePREACHER CURL(Weight Lifting 024.jpg)What is it: A bicep curl, performed with a dumbbell, where the elbow rests upon a sloped bench.Target Areas: Biceps, arms, forearms, elbows

working your core,” Ketchens said. “If you want to maintain your competitive edge, strength training is an important component as is a cardiovascular

routine and proper nutrition.

Yet, most people don’t want to train like an athlete. They just want to be healthy.

Ketchens understands

that. In fact, his clients include men, women, kids, even the elderly.

“For seniors, it may not be strength training as much as it is increas-ing bone density,” he

explained. “Men may want muscles, women may want a toned body, kids may want a vigor-ous workout but it all begins with a commit-ment to get healthy.”

Milestones

By BETH J. HARPAZAssociated Press

NEW YORK | It start-ed with an email to a couple of friends: “Do you want to meet in Manhattan for our 50th birthdays?”

Before she knew it, Amy Delman and more than a dozen women — some of whom hadn’t seen each other since high school graduation in 1979 — were com-ing in from around the Northeast for a week-end in the city.

And when they finally got together, they found that they shared not just childhood memories going back to second grade, but also the need to take a deep

breath and take stock of their lives in middle age.

“It’s almost like a new beginning,” said Delman, who grew up in Jericho, Long Island. “Our careers are set, our kids are grown, some of us have lost a parent. It’s a sense of ‘Wow, I’m not a kid, I’m not young, I’m in middle age, but I want to enjoy it and not have any regrets.’”

Many boomers say they are marking the milestone birthdays of middle age — 50 for those born at the tail end of the post-war Baby Boom and 60 for those born in the early 1950s — in a big way.

They’re jumping out of airplanes, reuniting with lifelong friends for communal celebra-tions and toasting the decades at elaborately planned parties. And in addition to showing off their vitality and enjoying the fellowship of loved ones, they’re also reflecting on the years gone by and the decades ahead.

For some, the big birthday is all about crossing something off the bucket list. Heather Kessen and her sister, who live in Cleveland, “gifted my mom with a trip to New York City for her 60th birthday. She’s never been and

we thought it would be a great way to cel-ebrate.”

Liz Gamble of Henderson, Nev., wanted to spend her 50th jumping out of a plane, and her sister, who lives in Florida, surprised her by show-ing up the morning of the skydive with her best friend and a limo for the ride to the air-port. “Once I stopped screaming, it was the most amazing experi-ence,” Gamble said.

Harriette Rose Katz, a high-end New York party planner, says some boomers use milestone birthdays to relive their youth. Through her business,

Gourmet Advisory Services, she’s orga-nized blowout 50th birthday parties with 200 guests and musical acts ranging from the late Donna Summer to the ’80s rock band Foreigner. “They can get pretty rowdy,” said Katz.

Those turning 60 often find themselves honored by loved ones with a surprise party. Reggie Ishman was tricked into thinking he’d be celebrating his 60th with his wife, Sybil, in Charleston, S.C. Instead, he ended up on a flight to St. Lucia where a niece and her husband, wear-ing disguises, were

seated one row ahead. More relatives joined them on the island, where activities includ-ed parasails and zip lines.

Sybil Ishman observed that boom-ers think of 60 in two different ways: “We are quite logical in thinking that today many healthy older folks often reach 100, but 120? Not so likely. So the probability of doubling our age is pretty slim to none. ... However, the other side of our brain likes a good challenge and knows that today, 60 is not a big deal, so we take on 60 with all our might.”

Boomers mark 50th, 60th birthdays in a big way

Terry’s Travels

YOUNGSTOWN, N.Y. | Not far from Niagara Falls on a bluff over-looking Lake Ontario is Old Fort Niagara, a fortress that has guarded the entrance to the Niagara River since 1726. Today the fort is a National Historic Landmark and a New York State Historic Site that welcomes more than 100,000 visi-tors each year. The buildings and artifact col-lections offer a unique look into military fortifica-tions of the 18th and 19th centu-ries along with spectacular scen-ery and views of the Niagara River.

The fort played an important role in the fight by France, Great Britain and the United States to control the Great Lakes region of North America. The fort was also a key factor in shaping the future of the Iroquois Nation and Canada.

The French constructed the first

building known as the Castle on the site in 1727. It was designed to look like a large trading house to calm any fears the local Iroquois might have about a military presence there. In reality the building was a strong for-tress capable of repelling an Indian attack. The fort was expanded from 1755 to 1757 and a portion of the Castle was converted for use as offi-cer’s quarters.

The fort was in fact used as a trad-ing post as well as a military garrison while under French control. A large number of Indians came to exchange furs for mwanufactured goods at the Castle. The vestibule of the Castle contains a 25 foot deep well that provided water for occupants and visitors from 1726 to about 1815. A popular legend tells the story of a headless ghost of a murdered French officer who is said to haunt the well. When the moon is full, so the story goes, he walks the halls of the Castle in search of his missing head.

On the second floor of the Castle in a Chapel which was the earliest permanent church in western New York. Rooms for soldiers at the fort are also on the second floor. A nar-row room at the end of the hall was used briefly in 1768 as a cell for Robert Rogers who gained fame as a ranger during the French and Indian War and was the hero of the histori-cal novel Northwest Passage written by Kenneth Roberts. Rogers was accused of treason by the British and

kept chained and guarded at the fort until he was taken to Montreal for trial.

The British gained control of the fort after a 19 day siege in 1759 dur-ing the French and Indian War. The British maintained control of the fort during the American Revolution but were forced by treaty to yield it to the United States in 1796. Fort Niagara played an important role in the War of 1812 in guarding the entrance to the Niagara River. It was during one of the battles at the fort that Betsy (Fanny) Doyle, a wife of one of the soldiers helped load a canon and became a heroine of the war. The fort was recaptured by the British in 1813 but was turned back to the United States following the War of 1812. That was the last armed conflict involving Old Fort Niagara but it continued to serve as a peace-ful border post.

After the Civil War a “New Fort Niagara” was built outside the walls of the existing compound. The new facility was used to train troops for the Spanish-American War and World War I. During WWII it was used as an induction center and later a POW camp for German prisoners captured in North Africa. After the war the fort was used as housing for return-ing veterans. In the early 1950s the new fort was used as a headquarters for anti-aircraft and later Nike

Gate of the Five Nations at Old Fort Niagara was named by the French in honor of the five nations of the Iroquois Confederacy. It was the main entrance to the fort from 1756 until about 1805.

Please visit theMilwaukee Railroad Shops...

where history gets back on trackfor future generations!

For nearly a century, the Milwaukee Railroad Shops have been standing in a valley nestled between the Loess Hills Bluffs and the Big Sioux River along State Highway 12, Loess Hills National Scenic Byway. Located in the north Riverside area of Sioux City, the Milwaukee RailroadShops are historically important as one of the nation’s largest surviving collections of buildings and structures associated with a steam locomotive servicing terminal and rail car repair facility.

The Milwaukee Railroad Shops were built in 1917 on sixty acres of land. The complex originally consisted of a 30-stall roundhouse with turntable, eighteen backshop buildings, a power plant, two water towers, a wood coal tower, and two sand towers. Today, the Milwaukee Railroad Shops cover 30 acres with a six-stall roundhouse, turntable, four backshop buildings, one wood sand tower and several foundation remnants.

The Milwaukee Railroad Shops were originally built to function as workplaces for railroad workers to repair and maintain the Milwaukee Road’s fleet of steam locomotives, freight cars, and passenger cars. During its peak years of operations in the 1920s and 1930s, over 500 craft and trades workers serviced and repaired approximately 850 steam locomotives a month and tens of thousands of rail cars a year.The workers were employed in craft professions such as boiler makers, machinists, carpenters, pipefitters, steam fitters, and many other trades.

The railroad downsized the complex during the early 1950s when the railroad industry transitioned from steam locomotives to diesel engines. The railroad abandoned the shops in the 1980s and subsequently sold the complex to a local salvage operator. The Siouxland Historical Railroad Association bought the complex in 1996 and began its historic preservation work to transform the Milwaukee RailroadShops into a railroad museum.

In converting the Milwaukee Railroad Shops to a railroad museum, the volunteer developers are preserving the features of the roundhouseand other structures to give visitors an understanding of what work went on in the buildings and why this site has historic significance.

The Milwaukee Railroad Shops are designated a historic district eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places and arerecognized as an official project of the Save America Treasures Program. The railroad shops are home to Sioux City’s iconic steam locomotive, Great Northern Railway No. 1355.
