Who greased the vine?W e all know people who have unending lists of jokes to tell and

can deliver them perfectly each time. You are thinking of one of these folks right now. A high school friend, a co-worker or

that odd uncle likely come to mind. They are a sharp contrast to others who can’t seem to remember entire jokes and consistently mess up the punch lines. I tend to fall in the latter group, so I keep my jokes short. What kind of shoes do ninjas wear? Sneakers. That’s a bad joke, and I apologize. But it’s one of only a few I know, and it is about as funny as I can get. Unfortunately, if I had to tell that joke rather than write it, I most certainly would have messed up. That’s what bad joke tellers like me do. A farmer in the field with his cows counted 196 of them, but when he rounded

them up he had 200. Telling a good joke is a form of story telling, and it is clearly a great skill. But joke telling is just a piece of true story telling, much like how violet is only one color of the rainbow. Storytelling is complex, meaningful and certainly quite challenging. It is truly an art, and can be very entertaining. Not like this: My friend recently got crushed by a pile of books, but he’s only got his shelf to blame. I know. You have had enough. But bear with me, as I want to share information about the Iowa Storytelling Festival, which will be held in Clear Lake July 25 and 26. The festival will have a line-up of featured storytellers, as well as up-and-coming tellers. If you are familiar with the event, you know all about the Ghost Boat Cruise. If you don’t, make sure to read the cover story this month to learn all about it and other storytelling events, as well as Art Sail and DixieFest. It all stacks up to provide unique entertainment for Clear Lake residents and visitors alike. You can simply attend and listen without any pressure of having to tell stories — or jokes. But you might want to keep my all-time favorite, just in case you need it. What were Tarzan’s last words? Whooooo greeeeased the viiiiiine? Thanks for reading.

Life in the Valley A bird house built in Kingston, North Carolina

was given to Apple Valley Assisted Living from

the Davis families in North Carolina and Oscar

Davis families of Clear Lake, Iowa. It weighs 75

pounds and freight to ship it was $300.00, so it

was delivered to Clear Lake by Bruce Rose (Mayor

of Wilson, North Carolina) and his wife Becky in

their motor home. The hole was dug by Meints

Construction. Metal fabricators fit the pole to the

birdhouse. Yohn Readymix supplied the concrete

to hold the pole in place. Ron Davis drove the

tractor with the loader to lift it up and Damian

Beard went up in the bucket of the tractor to hold

it while the cement was poured.

Apple Valley appreciates all the

time and contributions and offers

a special thanks to the Davis kin:

Oscar, Ron and Rusty, Reuben,

Fred, Becky. It is a good memorial

for Oscar who passed away earlier

this year.

I t is an art form older than the written word. Slivers of it can be found in every family, around every corner. To tell a story, to share

happenings from generation to generation, is one of the most basic human instincts, for as surely as every family has a crazy uncle or a favorite aunt, someone is going to want to be the teller of those tales. “I think everybody has stories in their life, and hearing other people’s stories encourages people to share their own favorite story — maybe not with an audience, but with family members and friends and the people that are important in their life,” says Jean Casey, former director of the Clear Lake Public Library and one of the original founders of the Iowa Storytelling Festival here. As Casey notes, the first Storytelling Festival was held 25 years ago as a way to help celebrate the library’s centennial. Now, as the library cele-brates its quasquicentennial year (125), the Iowa Storytelling Festival is still in its prime and going strong, this year set for Friday and Saturday, July 25 and 26. “We were going to do it just one time, but it was so well received that it’s just blossomed over time,” she adds. A good story is like that — it always gets sweeter with the years and the retelling. Martha Boyes, youth services librarian, says this year’s festival will have another sparkling line-up of featured storytellers, as well as up-and-coming tellers at the annual story exchange. The weekend will again feature a Ghost Boat Cruise on Friday and three storytelling times on Saturday. Featured storytellers for the 2014 festival include Choctaw teller Tim Tingle of Canyon

Lake, Texas, baby boomer and can-cer survivor Sara Slayton out of LaCrosse, Wisconsin, and Iowa girl Pat Coffie from Waverly. While all the sessions are con-sidered family friendly, the morning session at 10:30 a.m., under the tent in City Park, is devoted especially to children and families. The annual story exchange at noon on Saturday, July 26 will give up-and-coming tellers a chance to weave their tales for an audience. And then at 2 p.m. under the tent, it’s teller’s choice time with the weekend’s three featured storytell-ers.

From the heart of IowaListening to storyteller Pat Coffie is a bit like listening to the heart and soul of Iowa. “I have a pretty good memory, and I’ve always liked to talk,” Coffie says. While other members of her family have done genealogy and traced the names, dates and places

associated with their family history, Coffie has taken the more colorful route of finding their hidden stories. Imagine a college student today hand-harvesting a field of corn in order to earn her tuition. That’s how Coffie spent her Thanksgiving vacation one year in the 1950s. “My dad said, ‘I bet there’s enough corn left in that field to pay for your next semester,’ ” she recalls. The two-row picker had already been through, but with her husking glove in hand, Coffie set out to the field and earned her education pick-ing the leftover corn. Expect plenty of great stories about growing up on a working Iowa farm, as well as handling the kitchen chores in a large family. “People who want open kitch-ens just baffle me, because that’s always where the best stories were told,” she says. “Back in the days before paper plates, when a big family got together, you spent some time in the kitchen, and that’s when


all the stories come out.” Tingle has roots in Choctaw NationStoryteller Tim Tingle of Canyon Lake, Texas, is likely to offer a vision of American history through the eyes of the Choctaw people. Tingle has been collecting tribal stories for decades, learning about his own ancestors, as well as oth-ers who have made for a rich history of Native Americans. Tingle’s great great grandfather walked the Trail of Tears as the Choctaw Nation was “relo-cated” from Mississippi and parts of Alabama and Arkansas to Oklahoma. His stories give life to history and seek to assure that the experiences of Choctaws are remembered for generations. Tingle is the author of several books, includ-ing “How I Became a Ghost,” “Danny Blackgoat,” “Navajo Prisoner” and “Danny Blackgoat: Rugged Road to Freedom.” To gather his stories, Tingle has mentored with other Choctaw tellers and each year per-forms before Chief Gregory Pyle’s State of the Nation Address to some 90,000 tribal members. Tingle’s varied resume — from milk truck driver to organic gardener — even includes the fact that he was at Woodstock but, incredibly, slept through Jimi Hendrix’s performance. Most of all, Tingle is an award-winning author and in-demand storyteller with a unique perspec-tive on history and all the people who lived it.

A boomer broad and proud of itWisconsin native Sara Slayton is a storyteller known for her tales about growing up as part of the baby boomer generation. Her tales will delight not only boomers, but the “Greatest Generation” who gave them birth, and all the generations that have since lived in the shadow of the largest generation America has ever known. Boomers gave America everything from Beaver Cleaver to David Partridge. The oldest of them were born before the polio vaccine, and

the youngest came along about the time Kennedy was assassinated. This year, the youngest of them turn 50, while the oldest are now drawing Social Security. For the past few years, Slayton has been part of a trio of performing women known as The Boomer Broads. While the Broads have report-edly drawn the curtain on the show, a book on their experiences is in the works. And while Slayton will make every generation laugh about the trials and tribulations of being a boomer, she also has another side to her stories as a two-time cancer survivor. In addition to storytelling, Slayton is an edu-cator and public speaker for a variety of events. She has been telling stories for more than 30 years and is constantly adding to her repertoire and making stories personal for every audience. “I’m really looking forward to telling at the Clear Lake Festival,” says Slayton.

Ghost boat haunts the lake While folklore and family tales are one thing, there’s nothing quite like a good old fashioned ghost story on a hot summer night. This festival delivers on that with a “Ghost Boat Cruise” to start off the weekend. For one night each year, the peaceful Lady of the Lake paddle boat takes on a different aura as storytellers weave their tales on the haunted waters. “The Ghost Boat really makes our festival unique,” says Casey. “It’s a grand adventure out on the lake and makes for a different atmosphere for these scary stories.” The festival’s three featured storytellers will entertain a limited number of passengers for a 90-minute cruise on Friday evening, July 25. Casey has cruised on every ghost boat over the years and says the stories can range in subject but are always a completely different take than the main festival. “Sometimes you’ll hear traditional scary sto-

ries; some are contemporary or even personal stories,” she explains. It’s hard to say what this year’s featured sto-rytellers might have to share, but with their varied backgrounds, it’s bound to be a frightening good time, according to Boyes. The ghost boat will depart from its dock at the seawall at 9 p.m. and return (spirits permitting) at about 10:30 p.m. The cruise is recommended for ages 10 and older, but anyone younger than 17 must be accompanied by an adult. Space is limited, and tickets are $15, avail-able at the library or Chamber of Commerce. Full weekendTo Casey, it’s also very important to remember that it’s not just about storytelling. Like a good story, the festival has enhanced itself over the years with a few different features. “We’ve had such a good partner with the Clear Lake Arts Council and the Art Sail that is held the same weekend,” she says. “And then eventually the DixieFest was started, and it has really made for a complete arts weekend.” This year will mark the 37th Annual Art Sail in City Park. Running from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, July 26, the show will feature more than 75 artists in a juried show and sale. From murals, pottery, jewelry, silk scarves and more, local artists will join with artists from throughout the Midwest in a show that continues to grow in popularity throughout the area. Likewise, the Lakeside DixieFest each year draws a toe-tapping crowd to City Park for the kind of music that can’t be found just anywhere these days. The DixieFest will feature a variety of profes-sional bands performing in free outdoor concerts from 6 to 9 p.m. Saturday, July 26 and from noon to 8 p.m. Sunday, July 27, all in City Park. “It just adds to the whole weekend when we have the DixieFest and the Art Sail come together in the park,” concludes Boyes.

Crowds gather under the tent in City Park to hear stories during the Iowa Storytelling Festival each year in Clear Lake. Photo submitted.

Flocks of stacked rocks are just part of the whimsical touches at the Victorian home of Dick and Joyce Price. Photos by Lori Berglund.

O ne can’t get anywhere near the front door of this place without smiling.

Chuckling underneath your breath a time or two, even scratch-ing one’s head and silently wonder-ing, “What the heck is that?” is allowed. When Dick and Joyce Price moved into a rambling Victorian home at 204 North 10th St., in 1973, it was just a house. Now, it is a home with its own personality. “Hippies Use Side Door,” pro-claims a sign at the door on the front porch. For those too young to recall, “Hippies Use Side Door” was a phrase used on signs put up by all the “respectable res-taurants” in a sleepy little village called Woodstock, New York, as the world of rock and roll was descending upon them in the sum-mer of 1969. “That was my era, but I was far from a hippie,” says Joyce. She simply enjoys the sign and the laughter it prompts. Still, when it comes to the design of her Victorian home, she is a free spirit. “Our lifestyle was not Victorian,” she says. “We always liked spending time outside.”

So as the young couple settled into this five-bedroom home with their four children 41 years ago, they set about to remake into an image of themselves. “We made it functional for our family,” Joyce explains. Built in 1904, the home had already been made over several times. At varying times it was divided into apartments, turned into a church with pews lining the floor and, at the time they bought it, had been serving as a nursing home. While the changes inside suit the family, the changes outside are even more remarkable. Every cor-ner of the yard has something fun to see. “I don’t really like gardening, but I love rocks,” Joyce notes. From a Stonehenge-like out-door seating area, to flocks of stacked and balanced rocks, the yard is truly one of a kind. Joyce was even stacking rocks before she learned that the prac-tice is an ancient one utilized by the Inuits. Known as an Inukshuk, the stacked rocks resemble the human form and are meant as a welcoming sign to travelers. And the hippies love it, too.

T here’s no age limit at a soda fountain. We waited in line behind

old men and boys, opting to shop awhile inside this lovely drug store on the corner while mull-ing over the flavors and choices before us. I watched breathlessly as the woman behind the counter plopped huge scoops of ice cream into a tall glass, whipping it all up with malt powder and more ice cream to create a heavenly-looking strawberry malt for the young boy at the counter. Finally, our turns arrived and a kindly gentleman gave up his seat so that Mom and I could sit

down together at this charming fountain that seems to have stood still in time since about the 1950s. I know that I’ve been coming here for my favorite cherry phosphate since the 1970s, and it’s been just as delicious every single year. On this particular day, watch-ing that thick, rich strawberry malt get whipped up really tempted me

to go that direction. And then I also noticed the Green River phosphates — Green River is a flavor from my youth that’s hard to find most places; it’s fun, deli-cious and a trip back in time, but I just had to stick with the classic. It’s not summer without a cherry phosphate from the soda fountain at Thrifty White Drug Store on the corner in downtown Clear Lake, and I’m not one to mess with tradition. Mom, meanwhile, went with her favorite chocolate soda. We chatted with the “soda jerks” as a veteran behind the counter taught “the new girl” how to properly whip up a soda. It made for fun

conversation as she mixed up the soda, chocolate syrup, ice cream and more chocolate to make this fizzy treat. Of course, the soda fountain is also famous for its “Muds.” With ice cream, flavorings, chopped nuts and other rich goodies, the Muds are hard to beat, but I still love my simple phosphate. It’s cool, refreshing, and light. Most towns across Iowa and the Midwest long ago lost the charming thing called a soda foun-tain. But in Clear Lake, this foun-tain is going strong and delighting new generations with some of the most simple, and best delights of the summer.

RECIPE

Easy fish fillets

W hen the request came in for a recipe this month, I was on vacation in Georgia and only had one thing on my mind… fish! At that time I was only thinking about catching them,

but knowing that we’d be bringing a cooler-full home for cooking later caused me to decide to share one of my favorite fish recipes with you. It’s at the top of my list for several reasons: It’s versatile, it’s delicious and it’s easy. I mentioned versatile first because that’s probably what I like the most about this recipe. You can use virtually any kind of fish (my personal preference is some type of white fish, such as bass or cod), you can bake it in the oven or grill it outside, and you can experiment with the season-ings, adapting them to your own personal preference.

Easy fish fillets (baked or grilled)

Recipe is versatile and tastyBy Marchelle Walter Brown

Ingredients1-1/2 pounds of fish (About 5 average sized fillets ½ to ¾ inch thick)Lemon juice2 tablespoons butter (melted)Garlic powder*

Cajun seasoning*

2 tablespoons mayonnaise or Miracle WhipParmesan cheese

Directions Sprinkle fish fillets on both sides

with lemon juice, and then dip them in melted butter, coating both sides. Sprinkle garlic powder on one side of the fillet, then place the fish, sea-soned side down, on a baking dish or grill pan, depending on your cooking preference.

Next, sprinkle the other side with

cajun seasoning and then slather with mayonnaise or Miracle Whip.

Place the baking dish in a preheated 400 degree oven and bake for 20 minutes, or place the grill pan on a hot grill, and cook until just flaky.

At this point, if liquid has accu-mulated in the bottom of the pan, carefully drain as much off as possible, and then generously sprinkle the top of the fillets with Parmesan cheese and continue baking about 5 minutes until it starts to turn golden and look crispy. Flip the fillets and generously sprinkle the other side with Parmesan and cook 5 more minutes. *These seasonings can be adapted to your personal preference, but I rec-ommend using something that is going to be flavorful.

T he teachers have gone home for the summer, perhaps working on brand

new lesson plans or taking a few classes themselves to bring new information back to classrooms. The students are off at sum-mer camp or maybe working a part-time job. Hopefully they are spending more time swimming in the lake than surfing the Internet. But it takes more than teach-ers and students, more than whiteboards and mouse pads to make a school function. All sum-mer long, a team of professionals is working to make the environ-ment inside Clear Lake’s public schools a better place to be come the fall for teachers, staff and stu-dents alike. “We keep busy all the time,” says Sterling Washburn, a veteran of more than 30 years caring for the buildings and facilities. A 1972 graduate of Clear Lake High School, Washburn worked a number of jobs before joining the district in 1983. Working at the Clear Lake Airport, he discovered how people who work in the ele-ments really earn their pay. “It’s the hottest place in the summer and coldest place in the winter,” he recalls of the airport. A welder who is handy work-ing with just about any machine, Washburn spent several years at Sunset School and is now head of facilities and grounds, based at Clear Lake Middle School. He never set out to work with kids, but has found the interaction with them to be perhaps the best part of the job. “I told a former superinten-dent a long time ago that I never imagined I would catch myself say-ing, ‘What do you need, Sweetie?’ other than to my own children,

but they are like your own chil-dren here,” he says. The superintendent agreed, noting that all who work in the schools play a vital role in model-ing responsibility to students. “The kids will keep you young,” that former superinten-dent told Washburn, who prob-ably wasn’t yet 30 at the time. Looking back, for Washburn it’s hard to believe how fast the years have gone working with the schools. “I told my dad after that first year that if they all go that fast, I was going to be an old man in a big hurry,” he recalls. Washburn is still amazed at how fast the school years continue to go. Washburn adds the district is fortunate to have a great staff and wonderful working and shar-ing relationship with Mason City Schools. “I think everyone who works for the school is very reliable, very capable to know what needs to be done,” he says.

Washburn takes pride in caring for facilities

Q: Does Medicare cover skilled nursing care?A: It is most likely you will receive Medicare when you turn 65, but you must apply, unless you are already receiving Medicare benefits. If you or your spouse has worked at a job in which your were paid 10 years or 40 quarters of Medicare taxes, you are eligible for premium-free part A. Part B of Medicare, helps cover medically necessary services, such as diagnostic tests, outpatient care such as therapy, doctor’s services and medical equipment. Your Medicare card will tell you if you have Part B. Medicare D is a prescription drug coverage plan which is offered to all Medicare eligible persons. With the Medicare D plans there are monthly premiums, yearly deductibles, copayments or coinsurance and a coverage gap (the doughnut hole). Check this website: www.medicare.gov or call 1-800-633-4227 to check your coverage. For Medicare A to pay for a skilled nursing facility stay, there needs to be a hospital stay for three consecutive overnights (three midnights), in an acute hospital, within the last 30 days. In order to qualify for Medicare pa yment, a physician must certify that you need daily skilled care like intrave-nous medications or physical, occupational and speech therapies. Medicare does not cover routine nursing home care. The reason for the skilled stay must relate to the qualifying hospital stay or a condition documented during the skilled nursing stay. Medicare also requires that progress be made during your stay in the skilled nursing facility to continue Medicare payments.

HEALTH

A common interest found among churches is to edu-cate more people. Hence,

a few institutions in Clear Lake are putting the goal forward by hosting schools and conferences for the public’s benefits. Parents who are longing to strengthen their kids’ relationship with God can now sign them up for the vacation Bible school (VBS) organized by Zion Lutheran Church at 112 N. Fourth St. The VBS is open to kids between 3 years old to those enter-ing sixth grade. Children will meet from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the church from Aug. 4-7. Registration fee is $10 per child, with a maximum of $25 per family. The last day to sign up is July 15. For more information, please contact Cathy Bancroft at 641-357-5261 or [email protected]. Online registration is available at www.okoboji.org. Otherwise, reg-istration forms can be obtained at the church’s Youth Information Desk and by the park’s information banner. St. Patrick Catholic Church at 1001 Ninth Ave. S. is also hosting a VBS July 7-10. The VBS is open to children from 4 to entering fourth grade this fall. “Special Agent Catholic Academy” is the theme for the VBS. Faith Formation Leader Ann

Kunst says it will be a fun week for the children as they will “investi-gate evidence, follow God’s word and defend their faith” through the week. Children will meet from 5:30-7:30 p.m., and activities will begin with a kids meal. Registration is closed. but anyone who is inter-ested to volunteer may contact Ann Kunst at 515-357-4058. Agapé Christian Family Church at 2810 US Highway 18 W. is offering the public a chance to learn from healing prayer teachers and ministries through the “Processing the Father’s Healing Love” (PFHL) School and Conference. Through PFHL School, partici-pants will be involved in classroom teaching, small group activities and one-on-one ministry. The school schedule runs Aug. 6-9, whereas the conference is scheduled on Aug. 6-8 and Aug. 10. The PFHL School is limited to 50 students, while the conference is free for everyone. The church offers the options to register for school schedule as an individual at $125, a couple at $200 and a household at $250. Those interested can register online at www.agapepage.com by July 31. For more information, please visit the church’s website or contact the church office at 641-357-8014.
