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- By Ron Rife The Lone Tree Reporter 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.

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. time, if not his best, of 17.95. 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 • :! ~ ~ • • • - , 4~,- , hens.

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.
