By Lynn L. MartinI did not write the following article.

Aylin Zafar did. It is one of the ten most popular of the week according to Time Magazine’s web site. But what this article reveals is astound-ing. Perhaps there IS a way to reach the shut-down mind of an Alzheimer’s pa-

tient. Now, the article:“To watch Henry—an elderly man

who has spent over ten years in a nurs-ing home, barely able to answer yes or no questions—come alive when listen-ing to music from his past is a reminder of the powerful, inspiring, and affecting power of music.

A new documentary, Alive Inside, follows the “awakening” that occurs when people suffering from memory loss and Alzheimer’s are given music they have a strong emotional connection to — often, music they grew up with. In the clip, Henry is barely responsive before one of his caretakers puts head-phones on him and starts up one of his favorite tunes. Almost instantly, we see Henry swaying from side to side and singing, his eyes wide open.

“The philosopher Kant once called music the ‘quickening art.’ And Henry is being quickened, he’s being brought to life,” says Dr. Oliver Sacks, a neurolo-gist and author of Musicophilia, who is involved with the documentary.

After his headphones are taken off,


Lynn Says

Music from their past awakens Alzheimer’s patients

Henry answers questions about his fa-vorite music, speaking excitedly and recalling memories. “I’m crazy about music, and you played beautiful music, beautiful sounds,” he says. “Cab Callo-way was my number one band—guy I liked,” he remembers, before breaking into a vibrant rendition of “I’ll be Home For Christmas.”

Alive Inside follows social worker Dan Cohen, executive director of the non-profit Music & Memory, as he brings iPods to a nursing home. The transformation in barely responsive, “lost” patients was remarkable; as seen with Henry in the clip above, the mu-sic worked like a jolt of electricity for patients, transporting them back in time and even allowing them to speak anima-tedly after the music was turned off.

Sacks explains, “Music imprints it-self on the brain deeper than any other human experience. Music evokes emo-

tion and emotion can bring with it memory.” Furthermore, he says, “mu-sic brings back the feeling of life when nothing else can.”

When an interviewer asks Henry, “What does music do to you?” Henry responds without missing a beat.

“It gives me the feeling of love, ro-mance! … The Lord came to me and he made me a holy man, so he gave me these sounds.”

By Yvonne MillerCecil “Junior” Tucker and his wife

Verna celebrated 68 years of marriage on April 16 – with a unique gift to each oth-er in the form of a contribution to their community.

They’ve donated $100,000 toward building the new Kiowa District Hos-pital. Specifically, their gift goes to the Friends of Kiowa District Hospital and Manor Foundation, Inc., “Where Com-munity and Care Come Together” capital campaign.

The decision to make the donation was an easy one Tucker said. “My phi-losophy is – Somebody built schools and hospitals for us, now it’s our turn to do what we can for future generations.”

On behalf of the Foundation, Presi-dent Judy Schrock said, “It is a privilege to share in Mr. and Mrs. Tucker’s cel-ebration of their life together in Kiowa. Their decision to honor each other by showing their support for health care in our community is a legacy that promises to move us forward.”

The Tuckers’ name is synonymous with business success in Kiowa. Junior’s parents started a business in Kiowa

Tucker’s celebrate 68th anniversary with $100,000 donation to KDH

which he took over in 1952. His brother Dale became his partner in 1955. Besides farming, selling farm supplies and tires, Tuckers sold a huge variety of items in-cluding airplanes, boats, radios which Junior laughingly described as “Dale’s toys.”

Through the years, Junior and Verna traveled extensively together, visiting six continents – highlights Junior mentioned were the Taj Mahal and Pyramids. Those travels included 23 ocean cruises which allowed them to see all the major rivers in the world.

“We’ve had a lot of fun together,” Ju-nior said. “It’s been quite a trip.”

Now age 87 and 89, the couple con-tinues to reside in their home at Kiowa.

“I never smoke or drank and never retired,” Junior said of his reason for lon-gevity.

He still accepts old appliances and sells them as scrap in Medicine Lodge and Enid, giving any profit beyond his cost to charity.

Giving to a variety of charities is common practice for the Tuckers. Some that are important to them are: Alzheim-er’s, leukemia, cancer and Shriner’s.

The Tuckers have two children: Mark and his wife Karen who have one child and two grandchildren; and Cynthia Bry-an and her late husband Bruce who had two children and nine grandchildren.

One visible donation the Tuckers al-ready made to Kiowa is the bronze statue

at the corner of 4th and Main. Named “This Land is My Land,” the statue de-picts a moment between a husband and wife as he prepares to take off on his horse into what became Oklahoma in the Great Land Run of 1893.

Now when Kiowa’s new hospital is constructed on the south edge of town, the Tuckers will be one of the many fam-ilies who helped make it possible.

By Yvonne MillerThere’s nothing better than biting in to a sizzling grilled

steak for many folks. However, most have no idea about the volatile industry and

the battles producers face way before that steak ever gets put on your plate.

When the average consumer sees higher costs of beef at the grocery store, they are likely to think cattlemen are getting rich – not necessarily true. Those higher cattle prices are driven by higher costs that go in to producing beef.

Readers don’t see much in the news about cattlemen buying, raising and feeding cattle while facing rising costs on all fronts; the fluctuating cattle market and what affects it – not to forget the occasional media attacks like the recent negative, unfounded “pink slime” publicity.

“Our inventory of cattle in the United States is the smallest since 1952. Our population is roughly twice as large as it was then,” said Corbitt Wall, who oversees the regional market news program in St. Joseph for the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Wall said, “We have indeed seen all-time record highs for basically all classes of commercial cattle, within the last three months.”

Record low supply, high demand equals record high cattle prices Cattle producers battle rising costs and media attacks like ‘pink slime’

Some of the major factors contributing to the lower cattle supply and higher prices include:

• Drought the past few years forcing the sale of cow/calf herds because of no grass;

• Rising fuel costs and grain prices which means higher feed costs for producers;

• Rising number of exported cattle.It’s simple supply and demand economics.

Addressing `Pink Slime’ FrenzySo what is the “pink slime” controversy that temporarily

drove down beef demand and is driving some manufactures of the beef product out of business?

Some suggest, the nicknamed “pink slime” is not beef. The fact is, the debated ingredient is boneless beef trimmings, 100 percent USDA inspected beef. That’s according to manufacturer Beef Products Inc., and many experts and inspectors in the food industry.

There’s always some meat that is trimmed with the fat. It is this meat that becomes boneless lean beef trimmings (BLBT).

Compare boneless beef trimmings to ground beef labeled 90 percent lean/10 percent fat and they are virtually identical. That’s because the trimmings are 100 percent beef, not filler as some suggest.

According to an article in USA Today, in the early 1990s a midwest entrepreneur, Eldon Roth, developed a process to separate lean beef from the fat by heating and spinning in a centrifuge.

This results in Lean Finely

On September 22, 1961 Jimmy McCalip and Judith Paden were married in the Tan-glewood Baptist Church near Sand Springs Oklahoma. They had been good friends since the age of 12 when Judy’s family moved to the country near Jim’s family. Both families were members of the Sand Springs Roundup club where they learned to dance at the Saturday night dances held by the Roundup Club. They danced with their moms, dads, uncles, aunts and all in between, as it was a family affair.

As this was their beginning, their daughters Jana Benge, and Jeanette Blevins are throwing a barn dance with live music/jam session at T.J. Allison’s barn north of Cher-okee. All musicians are welcome. This will be a delayed 50th anniversary party start-ing at 4:00 p.m., April 21, 2012 ending when the band gets tired. There will be iced tea, coffee, and punch, also pulled pork for sandwiches. Bring your lawn chairs, card tables and your own beverages, if you want anything other than tea, coffee or punch.

Textured Beef (LFTB). This 100 percent beef product is blended in to ground beef. This makes beef cheaper and leaner.

People have been eating LFTB in their ground beef since the 1990s.

“The more people are disconnected with their food supply and sources of their food, the more questions they will have, and we understand that,” said Craig Letch, director of food safety and quality assurance for South Dakota-based Beef Products Inc. But, “We don’t produce `pink slime.” We produce 100 percent quality lean beef. That’s it. The whole thing is a farce. There’s no substance to it.”

The trimmings receive a puff of ammonia hydroxide (ammonia and water) to kill bacteria. These naturally occurring compounds have been used in a variety of foods beyond meat (ie., cheese, chocolate, etc.) since approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 1974.

According to the USA Today article, the term “pink slime” came from a USDA scientist who inspected the product and coined the phrase in internal emails in the 1990s. It wasn’t until recently when the media discovered the phrase and with the help of social media that the “pink slime” phrase made headlines.

Since the media frenzy, BPI suspended operations for 60 days. Manufacturer AFA filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in early April.

Area Cattlemen Talk Beef IndustryLongtime cattleman Tom Bedwell

of Medicine Lodge, Kan., said the pink slime issue is “ridiculous” and just more bad press the beef industry has to survive like they did “mad cow.” He said the beef product is safe and a great way to take fat out of hamburger and help fight obesity.

“I’ve been in the cattle business all my life,” Bedwell said. Owner of the Medicine Lodge Sale Barn over 20 years from about 1963 to 1979 with part interest in it through 1992, he’s owned a growing yard since that time.

Bedwell expanded his growing yard, located just west of Medicine Lodge, through the years and is now licensed for 2500 cattle. He turns that number over two or three times per year. Through all these years he’s witnessed many changes in the cattle industry.

He remembers “when the bottom fell out” of cattle prices in the 1970s and stocker calf prices were clear down in the teens. In 2012, stockers currently cost about $2 per hundred pounds. A stocker calf ranges in weight from about 300 to 600 pounds.

The price of feeder cattle (ranging in weight from approximately 700 to 950 pounds per steer) currently sell from about $1.30 to $1.50 per hundred pounds.

Despite the cattle higher prices, Bedwell said, “All our input costs are higher also,” mentioning labor, trucking, fuel, feed, etc. “It’s all sky-rocketed.”

Monday the price of road diesel across the U.S., ranged from $4 to $4.50 per gallon. Wheat closed at $6.12 per bushel and corn at $6.13 per bushel.

Referring to the latest media frenzy on beef, Bedwell said, “Whenever cattle prices get high, there’s always something out of the news media to try and break it.”

Former Alvan Jeff Sternberger is part-owner and manager of Midwest

Feeders at Ingalls, Kan.A week ago Tuesday he said there

was a limited trade on fat cattle at $1.22 per hundred pounds.

When asked the major challenges Sternberger faces as a feedlot manager he said, “Probably managing the risk of the volatile markets – the higher input costs.”

Prices and OutlookIn grocery store coolers, shoppers

find average beef prices pushing $5 per pound factoring lower priced briskets and ground beef to more expensive ribeyes.

“There is not enough beef out there,” according to Ron Plain, an agricultural economist with the University of Missouri. “This year, there’s going to be less beef, more people, the supply is going to be tighter, and that means more records.”

Eleven percent of U.S., beef went to foreign buyers last year – an increase of 8.7 percent in 2010.

Despite reduced numbers of cattle, higher costs to grow them, the volatility of the markets, media hype against the industry, experts are still optimistic.

They say said that even with price increases, the percentage of income that Americans spend on protein — be it beef, pork or poultry — is still the lowest in the world.
