P.go: The Lone Tree Reporter Thursday, July 12,2012
Asia member of the group that
is keeping the Lone Tree Museum
open I would certainly like to see
more interest from the people of
Lone Tree. Those of us who are
keeping the museum going are not
getting any younger. We could use
some younger people to take an in-
terest to see that the museum keeps
going once we are gone.
Now, I'm not really planning to
go out onto the hill north of Lone
Tree very soon, but I have reached
an age where you can't be too sure
what might happen. I do still buy
green bananas from time to time,
depending upon how soon I intend
to start eating them. Being a mem-
ber of our happy group does not
involve a lot of work. Mostly, it in-
volves just being available to help
out with a fund raiser now and
then or to do duty on a Saturday or
Sunday afternoon from 1:00 to 4:00
when we are open.
A few of us went to a meeting
of the Small Museum Association
a couple of weeks ago, which was
held at the Swedish-American Mu-

your will like Mr. So and So did."
I'm certainly not hoping that we
have a rash of deaths in the com-
munlW. Basically I'm only saying
that we would like the whole com-
munity to take a real interest in the
musetLrn.
I showed a gentleman from
Zwingle the museum last week. He
had come to town on Monday and
I got a phone call asking if I could
open it up for him. I met him at the
museum and we toured the place.
One thing that fascinated him was
our collection of two stump pullers
in the front yard. He was impressed
by everything he saw. He comment-
ed that a lot of small towns have
scum in Swedesburg. We heard had the gumption to get a museum
some ideas on things to do. One going, but Dubuque, a lot bigger,
museum had been lucky enough doesn't have one. At least that's
to have a benefactor leave it about what he said. I # hink they do have
$400,000 in his will. Now, I'm not some kind of Mississippi River
asking anybody to drop that much museum there, but, apparently, not
onto us at av, 'me, not that we'd a general history of Dubuque mu-
turn it dw, only ying that scum.

.OTB-
I have a little quiz for you here. I
found a page I had torn out of my
monthly DISH magazine I don't
know how long ago. There was no
date on the page. It involved quotes
from movies. There are 23 altogeth-
er, but I'm only going to force four
upon you this week.
1. "Yeah, I've been beaten up, but
I'm not beaten. I'm not beaten and
rm not quitting."
2. "If you flake around with the
weed, you~l end up using the hard-
er stuff."
3. "Readin'....writin'....and radia-
tion."
4. "You know, kindergarten is like
the ocean--you don't want to turn
your back on it." You match up he
quotes from these movies, a) Class
of Nuke 'era High (1968), b) Black-
board Jungle (1955), c)Kindergar-
ten Cop (1990), d) High School Con-
fldential (1985). Answers at the end.
Here's another comment by a
flight attendant on a less than per-
feet landing. "We ask you to please
remain seated as Captain Kangaroo
bounces us to the terminal."
Now it's time for the Thought For
The Week. It is: "The way to love
anything is to realize that it might
be lost."
Now for the answers to the quiz.
It's l-b, 2-d, 3--a, 4-c.

The USA Track & Field Regional
Championship took place the fol-
lowing weekend, July 5-8, 2012 at
University of Wisconsin Sports
Complex in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
This was an enormous event, with
more than 1200 athletes vying for
the top five slots that would qual-
ify them for the USATF National
Junior Olympics in Baltimore,
Maryland. In addition to being a
larger meet, it also has the added
difficulty of combining age groups.
There are a total of 16 Regional
meets throughout the country The
top five athletes from each one get
to compete at the National event,
put on by the exact same folks who
qualify the adult track athletes
for the Olympics. Last year, Carly
Moore took a bronze medal at the
National meet in shot put having
set a National Qualifier record for
AAU and won the USATF Regional
Championship.
This year, Carly went to the bot-
tom of her combined age group
but was still seeded a very close
second in the shot put and third in
the discus. Unfortunately, she was
still fighting to recover her strength
from her illness the previous week-
end, and her shot throws at practice
were recovering too slowly. She had
qualified in four events at the State
meet but had to drop one event for a
maximum of three at the Regional
meet. She chose to drop the 800
meter run in favor of the turbojav-
elin throw.
In addition to Carly, Dalton

There was one Regional Champi-
on, one fourth place medal, and one
fifth place medal. The athletes also
took home a sixth and a seventh
place ribbon. The team qualified in
three events, set three club records,
and set four personal records.
Erik Allison placed 5th in the
javelin throw with a throw of 70'7".
He also participated in the shot put.
Dalton Hanenburg (competing
for the first year ever) went into the
turbojavelin finals in fifth place. At
that point, the competition became
extremely intense. Dalton did a
fantastic job, shattering our club
record and getting a new PR, with
a throw of 74'5 ''. Unfortunately,
his competitors dug into their own
reserves, and Dalton came out of
the competition with a disappoint-
ing but very respectable 7th place.
He threw another PR in the shot
put, a solid 26'41/=", missing the fi-
nals by only 0.3 meters and taking
a solid 10th in a very large and in-
tensely competitive field.
Carly Moore also set our new
club record with a PR in the turbo-
and intensely competitive field,

their families to decide who, if
anyone, will attend the National
Junior Olympics.
