Self-reliance and sustainability in the 21st century.
There are essentially two ways to milk a cow. The first is the age-old practice of milking by hand. The second is by machine with buckets and pipeline milkers. More on this second method in my next blog. Cows, goats, sheep, water buffalo, camels and, even, horses have been successfully milked by hand for thousands of years. I milked my first cows by hand back in the 1970s. Milking a cow by hand is not as easy as it may first appear, so it's best to know what you are getting into before you take on this important farming task.
Get your technique down. There are a couple of different grips and techniques you can use, which before machine milking, were a matter of great debate. I think the most important thing you can do when hand milking is to squeeze the milk out without pulling down excessively on the teat. It's similar to getting tooth paste out of a tooth paste tube.
Practice. Find a patient and tolerant cow to practice on when you are first learning. Once you learn the skill it becomes second nature.
Get in shape. My wife's great-great-grandmother was a milkmaid in Denmark. Stories of her having to take breaks between cows to rest her hands on the cool stone walls of the milking stable for relief have been passed down through our family for generations. When you first begin milking a cow by hand, you will find muscles in your hands and forearms that you seem to only use when you hand milk. Until they get into shape, your arms will burn.
Keep everything clean. If you milk by hand, it is imperative to keep your cows and their udder clean. You don't want manure or bedding falling into the milk bucket. Everything you use—the bucket, utensils and vessels that will come into contact with the milk—must be squeaky clean.
Cool the milk quickly. The milk must be cooled down to 38-40 degrees within a couple of hours after you finish milking.
Stir the milk. It also helps to stir the milk occasionally unless you want to skim off the cream. Keeping the cream and milk mixed will help extend the milk's shelf life and fresh flavor.
Consider the time investment. Cows used to make much less milk than they do now. If a cow produced one gallon of milk per day, as most did before WW2, you could milk her out by hand twice per day. But, today's cows routinely produce five gallons of milk per day, and milking one out twice a day can take a long time—up to an hour or more. Unfortunately, you can't do anything else when you are hand milking. Plus, you can only milk two of the four quarters of the udder at one time because you only have two hands. If you decide to milk by hand, it helps to be a good day dreamer.
Some people still contend that hand milking is more gentle on the cow than machine milking. I disagree. I think this is a misperception resulting from the horrendous mechanical milking machines developed in the 19th century (More on Early Cow Milking Machines here). They could do — and did — a lot of damage to cows' udder. Today's modern milking machines are the result of a century of research and development. When properly set up, adjusted and operated, they are very gentle — far gentler than a nursing calf to its mother's teats and udder. Calves can be very rough and sometimes make their mother's teats bleed. If you have the time to let the calf stay with its mother to nurse once a day, then it may make sense for you to avoid the investment of a milking machine and milk by hand.
At the end of the day, hand milking is a personal choice for every farmer. Think about the time investment, the number of cows that must be milked and the amount of additional work you have to get done on and off the farm. If your cows are relaxed and your forearms are in good shape, it can be a very rhythmic and soothing experience for you and for the cow. Happy Milking!
I have been a faithful reader of MOTHER EARTH NEWS since it first was published in 1970. The very first edition I read was in newspaper form unlike the beautiful glossy magazine that is published now. I can remember going by the magazine rack in a store while I was getting some walking exercise from my desk on a lunch break and picking up a copy thinking it looked interesting. After getting the copy back to my office started reading and I was hooked for good. Since that early edition, the publication has changed considerably but the underlying subject matter as a guide to living wisely has remained the same. It is still strongly contributor oriented.
From that first edition of MOTHER EARTH NEWS which I read from front to back I have discovered that those who gravitate to the magazine are a special breed of people. People who like to do things for themselves, are conscious of the environment, desirous of keeping things simple and living wisely. Those who live in a chrome/glass world and drive upscale vehicles may not be as interested in the magazine but I have learned never to rule anything out and I'm sure there is still hope for those people too. I'm also sure there are those who are stuck in bumper to bumper commutes to work each day that dream or long for a less complicated lifestyle. I remember during my one hour commute to work each day how I would smell the exhaust fumes while I crept along with what seemed a never ending string of traffic. I would dream of a less complicated life where I could be in the country or the mountains with fresh air, pure water, less stress and living closer to the earth and nature.
I have always been a conservationist and reading MOTHER EARTH NEWS helped me to realize that there were many like myself and provided me the desire to one day make a life change from the stressful situation I found myself in. Living a simple life in harmony with the environment and trying to leave our little piece of homestead as natural as possible to what it was when we carved out our home initially and sustaining its suitability for others who may come in the future has been our goal. A conservationist is someone who preserves, guards, protects and exercises wise use of the environment and wild life.
It was those many years ago when I picked up that initial edition of MOTHER EARTH NEWS that a thought was born that someday I could live like what the contributors were writing about. A wiser, more simple life without all the stress and conflict of the corporate world. That initial thought was nurtured over the years with each copy of MOTHER EARTH NEWS I read until it became a serious desire and goal. Then as I finally neared retirement age it became more of an obsession to redirect my life. So here I sit typing this on my laptop living the dream that I wasn't sure would ever happen but finally did became a reality. I can envision someone today picking up their first copy of MOTHER EARTH NEWS and as they read the magazine hatching a thought of one day living a less complicated life too.
When I look around our mountain homestead I now realize that reading all those publications over the years has enabled me to employ many of the things learned that have now made our life better. Making it far better to experience living wisely without the repetitive unexpected surprise events that can challenge a person. Questions I would not have contemplated were answered before the need ever arose by reading Mother Earth News all those years. Reading comments to the editor in each edition reveals to me that others are still making that lifestyle change or planning to. I believe many others have ventured into a new life style over the past 40 years due to the existence of MOTHER EARTH NEWS.
While I do not consider myself an expert on living wisely, I now enjoy writing about our life here on the mountain and telling about all the hard work involved. How living in close proximity to wild animals - some that would paralyze people with fear - is actually very normal and they make respectful and excellent neighbors. How every morning as I step outside I take a breath of fresh air that has natural odors and not vehicle exhaust or other neighborhood smells. How pleasant it is to draw a glass of crystal clear water from our well that is cold and refreshing. These and many more things all contribute to our enjoyable lifestyle and it started many years ago when I picked up that first copy of MOTHER. A dream was hatched that day and I suspect that many more dreams have also hatched for others over the years.
When I contribute an article to MOTHER, I try to follow the formula from long ago by other contributors and keep it factual, straight forward and informative. This particular article is more for my benefit than other readers as I need to keep reminding myself how all this actually came together for me. I hope I never take our lifestyle for granted or lose its unique benefits. Maybe then I can impart something that will in some small way benefit others in their dream to live a simple more healthy life.
When you pick up a copy of MOTHER EARTH NEWS you don't know what it may actually inspire in you. A single thought of living life more wisely, simply and efficiently may actually grow into something that will one day redirect your life. I can clearly track my desire back to 1970 when I picked up that first issue of Mother Earth News. I have found over the years that there is something in each issue that I can benefit from. I think it can be fairly stated that Mother Earth News changes lives. I'm sure glad I picked up that first issue.

Ah, summer on the farm. The tomatoes and peppers are coming along. The squash and zucchini are booming. And the cows are trying to get their fill of grass at sunup, before the heat of the day sets in.
Sounds perfect, right? The very picture of abundance, joy, and prosperity so many people think of when they hear "family farm." The truth is a little more complicated. Sure, summer has its strong points but it also has its downsides.
First, let's talk temperatures. So far, we've only had a few days over 90 degrees, but July and August are the usual boilers around here, in West Missouri. We also have high humidity. In fact, nearly every day I've watched a World Cup match, I've heard that the brutal temperatures and humidity in Brazil make soccer hard to play. And yet our temperatures and humidity in Missouri have actually been higher than those in Brazil. While farming is not a 90-minute endurance of speed, like soccer can be, it certainly takes a lot longer than 90 minutes each day to get our work done. And pretty soon it's gonna be 100-plus degrees, with hot winds and high humidity. It's like carrying buckets and hoeing in the middle of a furnace.
Second, weeds. By now, summer weeds are sharp and tough. When weeding the veggie patch, you can hardly pull anything without getting a sticker stuck in your hand or finger. Oh, and don't forget the poison ivy.
Third, mowing. Sometimes we mow pastures and bale it up (that's hay) so that the cows, sheep, and goats will have something to eat in winter. Sometimes we mow so that the grass quality will improve for the next round of grazing. Sometimes we mow to kill the weeds starting to go to seed. We also have to mow our yards, which, unfortunately, are usually too large. I hate mowing, but it has to be done. It just never seems to end.
So, how's a farmer to cope? Easy. Do what every farm family does. Get yourself a cheap little swimming pool. It's hours of fun for the kids and it takes the edge off. It keeps me cool—and sane. Plus, even for us organic farmers who hate chemical fertilizers and such, the chlorine in the pool can be a very good thing when it comes to killing potential rashes. Yes, here at our house we try to keep the chlorine to an absolute minimum, but it's still in there.
I know. I know. It would be nice to live in a place with cool and clean spring-fed creeks, the idyllic "swimming hole" of so many songs and poems harkening back to the good ole days. But not everyone can live along the Current River in the Ozarks. In fact, if more of us lived there, it wouldn't be very clean and pristine. Not to mention the fact that it's rocky, with very, very thin soil. In other words, not great for agriculture.
So, those of us in the Farm Belt cheat. We fill up our pools with water and blast that water with chemicals to keep it clean. It might disappoint some of you who think we farmers are strong and hardworking and stoic in the face of summer's adversity. But we all need a coping strategy. Mine, and that of most farm families I know, is to pop open a beverage (I prefer Boulevard Beer from KC) and to take a dip.

Bryce Oates is a farmer, father, writer, and conservationist in West Missouri. He lives and works on his family's multi-generational farm, tending cattle, sheep, goats, and organic vegetables. His goals in life are simple: to wake up before the sun, catch a couple of fish, turn the compost pile, dig potatoes, and sit by the fire in the evening, watching the fireflies mimic the stars.

In the evenings, after I've come home from my 9-5 and the barn chores are complete, my very favorite thing to do is to sit with my goats. This brings me a lot of peace and makes everything feel "worth it", no matter how horrible the rest of my day has been. Each goat gets a little bit of individual attention, and my pats and scratches also search for lumps, bumps, scratches, ticks, and any other hidden surprises. I feel their coats and try to be aware if anyone is feeling particularly coarse or has flaky skin. Occasionally I manage to snag a hoof and check to see if a trim is needed.
Most importantly, I watch. Each goat has her own personality, her individual quirks. I love watching them interact, seeing their evolving relationships with each other as a herd. Sadie and Flinder, our two girls in milk, are currently trying to hash out who's herd queen. Our "teenage" girls live to chase the younger "babies" of the group. The "Babies" spend a lot of time perched on the igloos, staying out of reach and trying to avoid harassment.
I've always considered this time spent sitting with goats a little indulgent on my part, and even a little on the lazy side since I enjoy it so much and I get to sit down and essentially do nothing. Recently however, I learned just how valuable this observation time is, and how essential it is to goat health and management.
While I was at work the other my husband messaged me and let me know our doeling Jubilee hadn't finished all of her morning grain and had scoured. Since they were now browsing all of the new Spring offerings in their outside area, I chalked it up to an upset tummy and we gave her some probiotics. As the day progressed my husband let me know Jubilee was eating hay, browsing and drinking well, so I didn't worry. When I got home and the goats were given their evening grain, Jubilee ate her share and I was reassured she was fine.
I settled on the floor for my evening goat time, and watched and petted and lounged. Jubilee was in her usual position on the igloo and I decided to take a few photos of her. While I was lining up for a good shot, I noticed her ears were droopy.
As I looked harder, I noticed her expression was a little vacant, her eyes lacking their usual spark. I told my husband I thought there was something "off", and he reassured me Jubilee was fine. But I couldn't shake the feeling. I got up and went for the thermometer for a quick check. As my husband held her, we watched together as the reading climbed to 106. Nearly suffocating with panic, I insisted we do it again, thinking it must be a mistake. The numbers climbed. My husband warned me not to panic, but it too late.
Long story short, it was 9PM, no vet available, stores closed, no Banamine on hand. Luckily, I have some really supportive, amazing goat friends who took my frantic calls and helped me get the medication I needed. Jubilee made a full recovery and has been her happy, healthy little self ever since. I also now have Banamine in my goat cabinet.
I am convinced that if I hadn't known my little goat so well, we would have went to bed that night, and in the morning, found that Jubilee had died. I now consider my goat watching time an essential part of my goat care routine. And I don't feel a bit guilty about enjoying it.

My current goat kid tally was a bit dismal: five bucklings and one doeling. While I don't have anything against male kids per se, everyone wants females and bucklings are considered undesirable since they don't produce milk.
I already have a buck: Oreo. And while I'll need a new buck to replace him, I don't need them all now. Bucks are obnoxious and stinky. They pee on their beards and front legs. During rut, they're difficult at best. Having six bucks during rut is impossible. Plus there's absolutely no way I could keep them all away from the girls.
What that means is that I have a lot of meat on the hoof. Goat meat is very tasty – a low fat version of beef – and is very healthy. But buck meat is darn near inedible, so you have to neuter or wether the bucklings.
Another reason to wether a buck is that wethers make exceptional pets. If you're looking for weed eaters on the cheap, wethers fulfill that roll nicely. Want a pack goat? Think wether. Want a low maintenance goat? Yep, wether again. You can keep wethers in with the girls and never worry about having the does accidentally bred. Wethers don't fight like bucks either. So, there are plenty of reasons to have wethers instead of bucks. The downside is that they don't give milk, of course.
This may or may not be an issue to you. For me, all my livestock must do something to earn their keep. So wethers will eventually go to freezer camp.
Other people wether goats in various ways. I band my bucklings when they reach 3 months old. Younger than that and you run the risk of urinary problems. The way I do it can be considered somewhat controversial because not everyone thinks of it as humane. The truth is if you band quickly, there's no pain. None of my bucklings have ever cried or even made noise while I banded them. The only time I've had them scream is when they got tired of being held – and that was before I had a chance to band them.
You use an evil looking device called an Elastator, which you put the neutering band on the four prongs. When you squeeze the handles, the prongs open where you slip the scrotum into the neutering band. You can't be squeamish with this as you must make certain that both testes are well within the scrotum before you close the prongs and slip the band off of the prongs. The band cuts off blood flow to the testes and they wither and die in a couple of weeks.
The main concern is to not get either nipple caught inside the band. They're very close to the scrotum so if you're not sure, keep a set of scissors handy in case you have to cut the band and try again.
It's best to have a partner hold the buckling sitting on his rear with his legs splayed so you can get at the scrotum. It usually requires that person sitting behind the kid while you perform the banding. Today I actually banded Rollo while he was standing up in the milk stand, happily munching on sweet feed. This was, by far, the least stressful banding. Given that Rollo is skittish with humans and doesn't like being handled, it shows just how simple and gentle it really is — at least for goats.
The is the second part in a multi-part blog following our "adventures" as we build our much anticipated new pole barn. Click here to read Part 1. We made the decision NOT to build the barn ourselves and are using the same building supply and contractor who built our beloved pole barn house and tractor/hay pole barn. In this post, you will see we are making changes and adapting our plans:
As it turns out, where I thought the barn should go is not where it needed to go. We staked out the dimensions, pulled the diagonals to check for square, and drew a string level. One diagonal was nearly 48" below the upper corner. That is quite a bit of fill to move around.
In the meantime, we got our first quotes on the project. Realizing we needed more lean-to space and a little less interior, we trimmed the barn to 28x36 adding two 12' lean-tos on the 36' sides. Total footprint will be 52x36'.
The bid came in at approximately $14,000- labor included; the 12' lean-tos are a significant extra, 10' would have been much less but we already have 10' lean-tos on the tractor barn, and they "almost" cover equipment, round bales, etc. The extra 24" will be worth it in the long run. Plans include two sliding end doors, 4 skylights, insulated roof (prevents that irritating condensation "rain") and two walk through doors. We may pour a 10x10 concrete slab in the corner of the barn or outside on the north lean-to for a future milking area.
(Right) The ditch to prevent run-off from flooding the new barn. After a 2" rain we found the ditch works as planned.
Glenn mowed the paddock with the brush hog, then began to ditch just uphill of the site. Our soil is thin, on a layer of crumbling sheeted rock, with a layer of clay underneath. Water will soak into the soil and run off, following the rock layers. Once the ditch was completed, we saw how much more level the paddock is at the new ditch. Easy enough, we moved the corners of the barn west 60'. Now the lowest diagonal is only 12-18" below the highest corner.
The cows will have 3-12' bays to shelter in during the winter and we will easily be able to put two round bales under the lean-to roof for them. The goats will be able to go inside the barn. The actual floor space they will have is about the same as the current goat barn. We could not see any reason to make it larger, which breaks the number one rule of barn building- always build larger than what you think you will need.
The picture is from an old satellite image before we even divided the field into 16 grazing sections. The dotted lines represent the peak of the roof. The working pens are currently adjacent to the old goat barn and the pipe panels, 10 and 12' sections, are easily moved.
With the barn moved uphill to the west, the original paddock is now divided into two- the working area with the sweep tub and holding pens will all need to be rearranged and configured, but this is actually a very good thing.
Now we need to get up with the dozer operator. Our neighbor has a dozer but he is behind on his hay and hay always comes first. We figure a half-day (less actually) is all that will be needed. We could use our tractor to push the topsoil around, but a trained professional is called for at times. In the meantime, we will continue to do what we can to better tweak the plans. We are even thinking that the site of the old goat barn would make a great greenhouse, and that we can definitely build ourselves!
Next blog post: Dozer work
Hi everyone! It's hard to believe that this internship is already a month in. We only have three months left! The time has passed so quickly and it's pretty amazing to reflect back on how much we've all learned. I definitely have a lot more to learn, but we as interns have come a long way.
Monday morning began my week of moving broiler shelters as my morning chore. I had mentioned a few weeks prior that I had gotten the hang of moving the broiler pens. After this week, in the essence of full disclosure and to not create an image of myself as this rock star intern that can do everything extremely well, I want you all to know that while I have a good grasp of the technique involved, I am slow when it comes to actually moving the coops. As I get stronger, I am confident this will change. I like to be good at everything immediately and am sensitive to keeping things running efficiently, so I will admit to having a tiny meltdown because I was flustered by my lack of speed. The way our system operates is we have three interns assigned to move the broiler and pullet shelters and two interns who come behind the movers and feed and water the birds. I felt bad that I was keeping the feed/water people waiting and Tim, one of my fellow interns who was a feeder/waterer, stepped in to help me move the coop. He reminded me we are a team, that everyone is still learning and to not get upset about timing. I appreciated his bringing me back to reality and his assistance that day and the rest of the week in moving the shelters when time was of the essence. We at Polyface are a team and it is nice to work with people who will help you when you need it, be it a hand moving something heavy or a kind word when you need it. Or both.
After breakfast, we headed to one of the properties Polyface manages to set fence posts for some cattle fencing we are building. The property had recently been logged and the fencing configuration needed to be changed entirely. We had brought the hydraulic post pounder, and because the pounder was attached to the tractor (The pounder is time consuming to take on and off), we went directly to another site that needed some fence posts redone once we were done at the first property. It was a busy day of sharpening posts, installing the insulators (plastic pieces that hold the wire in place on the fence post), pulling old posts, installing new posts, removing old cattle fencing panels and installing new wire. We got back to the farm in time for evening chores and after dinner we had a seminar with Joel Salatin on the concept of Cow Days. Those of you who have read Joel's book Salad Bar Beef will already have an understanding of what a Cow Day is, but for those of you who don't, a Cow Day is essentially how much one cow will eat in one day. It will take experience for us as interns to get an eye for how much that is depending on the quality of the grasses, but the Cow Day concept is very important in determining how much acreage to give your herd so they can properly mob graze it. This also helps one plan the year; figuring out how many animals one can have, where they can go and for how long.
Tuesday morning entailed moving broilers, helping with the buying club load up (we pull meats from the freezers based off an inventory sheet which summarizes that day's orders), stacking hay in the hay loft and moving one of the pigs and her piglets into a separate corral. Polyface doesn't farrow piglets, but unbeknownst to anyone, this particular sow had a litter of piglets one night and thus needed to be separated from the rest of the herd. Those of you who have worked with mother sows before know they can be a bit protective, so we had to make sure we had a solid plan of how to get her and the babies from Point A to Point B before proceeding. Everything went well and the pig family is currently enjoying their new digs.
After lunch, we went to a property Polyface manages to make hay. Joel, Daniel and some of the others had gotten to the site earlier, so there was a baler and hay wagons going and bales that were on the ground as some of the wagons were full when they were being made. My job was to drive the truck and trailer while some of the others threw the bales that were on the ground onto the flatbed to stack them. There were some good songs on the radio, but I felt bad that I was in the cab while the boys were trying to throw bales and keep up with the moving vehicle, so I shut it off. We ended up in the property owner's barn unloading and stacking what we'd collected. We were able to bale and stack over 700 bales of hay for the property owner that afternoon, so it was a productive day.
As you all may remember, Wednesday is processing day at Polyface. This was the first time I had been involved with collecting the birds to be processed, so immediately after moving the coops, we set to gathering. We ended up collecting over 500 birds and since we were just one crate shy of what we needed, I got to ride back to the farm on the back of the trailer with a chicken under each arm. I think the birds enjoyed the scenery and I enjoyed their company.
Most of the rest of the day was consumed by processing birds and packaging them. During the processing, I bounced between eviscerating and quality control, both of which I enjoy and we were done by 12:30. After lunch, we packaged the birds based on orders that had already been placed being completed first, parts and pieces needed for inventory and prepping the rest of the birds to be frozen. We were done with this by about 3:30, spent a fair amount of time cleaning up and did evening chores.
Thursday, June 26th
Thursday, for me, revolved around the construction of a new Gobbledego, a roosting and shade structure Polyface uses for turkeys. After morning chores and breakfast, I helped Daniel and one of the apprentices clean the bearings in one of the axles we needed while the other interns went with Joel to measure the existing Gobbledego, get a better understanding of the concept and pull the right amount of wood from the saw mill inventory. During the construction, I was otherwise occupied with the bearings, but once the pieces were done, a lot of us were needed to hold the pieces in place while they were connected. When it was all said and done, the Gobbledego looked great. The turkeys will be pleased. The rest of the day included clearing away some encroaching walnut trees, chopping thistles, getting caught in a rainstorm while chopping thistles, and moving cows at two of the other properties Polyface manages. After the Cow Days talk, I had a better understanding of why the apprentices place the fences where they do.
Every third Friday at Polyface, we have an extra day of processing. After moving broilers, we collected +/- 460 birds and got to work processing them. I was in the same processing capacity as I was on Wednesday, which was fun. I enjoyed being able to practice and am definitely getting better. As a group, we are definitely getting faster and finished earlier than we did on Wednesday. (Granted, there were about 60 less birds, but still…) Evening chores went smoothly and we had enough time to quickly change before dinner, which is always a treat.
I hope you all are enjoying reading this blog as much as I enjoy writing it. Polyface Field Day is July 19th, which we're all looking forward to. I hope some of you will be coming so you can see what I've been talking about in person. Happy July 4th! See you after Week Five!

ST. FRANCIS, Wis. (AP) -- The maker of the foam cheeseheads so popular with Green Bay Packers fans isn't amused that a physicians group tried to use the hat in an anti-cheese billboard.
Foamation Inc. threatened to sue after the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine announced it was putting up a billboard featuring the Grim Reaper donning a bright yellow cheese-wedge hat.
The sign warns of the health hazards of fat, cholesterol and sodium in cheese. Wisconsin is the nation's top cheese producer.
The committee's president, Dr. Neal Barnard, said Tuesday that the group stands behind the image but its billboard vendor caved to Foamation's threat. The cheesehead image was blacked out before the sign went up.
Foamation attorney Ed Sarskas says the suburban Milwaukee company didn't want to be associated with anything disparaging cheese.

The idea has been out there for awhile, floating.
Locals in the 1980s, '90s and 2000s would say, "They need to put up a statue of Larry Bird. I mean, one of the all-time greatest basketball players played right here in Terre Haute at Indiana State University."
The identity of "they" seldom gets clarified in such declarations. "They" — a nebulous cluster of apparently powerful people, at least in the eyes of coffeeshop debaters — never seem to materialize.
Yet, in this case, "they" did.
In November 2003, in a tunnel leading to the upper concourse of Breslin Center on the Michigan State University campus in East Lansing, Magic Johnson — of all people — validated the notion that Terre Haute and ISU should honor his longtime rival, Larry Bird, in bronze. The four schools that participated in that historic 1979 NCAA Final Four — champion Michigan State, runner-up ISU, DePaul and Penn — had placed their current teams in a reunion tourney in the Spartans' home arena. Just a few weeks earlier, MSU had unveiled a striking, 12-foot-tall, bronze statue of Johnson right outside the Breslin Center entrance.
I asked Johnson if Bird's alma mater should do the same thing outside Hulman Center.
"Without a doubt," Magic said, quickly. "I'm really shocked that he doesn't have one already. I mean, you're never gonna get that much excitement [at Indiana State] and how it felt to go to the Final Four. The college basketball Player of the Year, one of the greatest four or five players that have ever played, and he played at your school. I mean, come on, he should have two or three statues."
His words ran in the Tribune-Star, and a few months later, they bubbled up again. On Feb. 29, 2004, ISU retired Bird's No. 33 jersey, along with that of another former Sycamore great, Duane Kleuh's No. 54, in a ceremony at Hulman Center. In a news conference afterward, I relayed Johnson's comment and asked if Bird liked the idea. In classic Larry Bird deadpan style, he said, "I don't want a statue. Magic's got more statues than Saddam Hussein."
(Just two weeks earlier, the Los Angeles Lakers had erected another Magic statue at the Staples Center in L.A.)
So, given Larry's reserved nature, any effort to create a lasting monument to his exploits as a Sycamore would have to win Mr. Bird's heart. "They" would need to be a grassroots collection of people, folks with whom Larry could identify.
It took a few years, but "they" emerged. "They" turned out to be ISU student Brad Fenton and six of his young friends, a marvelously industrious bunch of guys who decided to turn the concept into reality.
The idea came to Fenton in 2006. A Notre Dame football fan, he had trekked to East Lansing to watch the Fighting Irish play the Spartans. While walking across the MSU campus, he saw the Magic statue. The Sycamore passion quickly kicked in for Fenton, whose mother was an ISU student during the Bird years and whose dad avidly followed Bird into his Boston Celtics career. Fenton figured Bird deserved a statue, too. A bigger statue.
Back in Terre Haute, Fenton sought out local sculptor Bill Wolfe, who shared Fenton's motivation.
"The first person that listened to anything I had to say was Bill Wolfe," Fenton, now 28, recalled by telephone last week from Indianapolis, where he lives and works as a branch manager of a bank.
The idea brewed for a few years. Fenton and six friends from Terre Haute and ISU — Matt Foster, Geoff Haynes, Ryan Royer, Zack Hurst, Nick Ferrell and Luke Jones — eventually formed the Larry Legend Foundation. With a goal of raising $135,000 for a 13-foot-tall statue, sculpted by Wolfe, and perpetual scholarship in Bird's honor, they eventually surveyed students and locals about the plan. "Almost every single person I talked to was for it," Fenton said.
"Once I saw people's reaction, I said, 'We can make this happen,'" Fenton added. "But now that it's actually happening, I can't believe it's actually happening."
ISU will unveil a bronze statue of Bird on Saturday morning, as part of a weekend celebrating the legacy left by Bird and his teammates in the 1976-79 era. Lots of dominos had to fall, right in line, to make that possible. Fenton and his friends set those dominos in motion. They formally launched the Larry Legend Foundation in September 2009, debuted the Larry
LegendFoundation.com website, and started the fundraising with sales of "Everybody Loves a Legend" T-shirts at ISU basketball games. They enlisted the ISU Foundation as a steward of the fundraising effort, which led to a generous contribution from an anonymous donor a couple years later. An initial disagreement over the choice of a sculptor was ironed out, the funds were secured to craft an even taller statue (15 feet, at $153,000), and Wolfe began creating the art piece in 2012.
"It was a long journey, but I wouldn't have wanted it to turn out any other way. I'm glad Bill's doing it," Fenton said. The assistance and expertise of the ISU Foundation proved essential. "When we realized it was bigger than us, that's when we handed it to the ISU Foundation," Fenton explained.
Still, the fact that ISU students and local young people initiated the drive captured Bird's interest.
"It was the total impetus behind it," said Phil Ness, the ISU Foundation associate vice president of development for athletics. "It's what got Larry excited about it. I think Larry was really touched that a group of kids, who were born after he graduated, were the ones who got this going. I don't think it could've happened without them."
Fenton was born in 1985, six years after Bird and the Sycamores stunned America by rolling into the NCAA Final against Michigan State with a perfect 33-0 record and a No. 1 ranking in the polls. In the years since that season, ISU suffered through a 17-year stretch of sub-.500 seasons, seven coaching changes, and some hard feelings, for various reasons, among basketball alums.
Fenton and the Larry Legend Foundation crew focused on the goal, not past baggage. "Those guys didn't know any better, and so they just went out and did it," Ness said, with admiration.
"They" just went out and did it, despite the odds. No wonder "they" impressed Larry.

Why Taking Breaks Will Help You Get More Work Done
- By Megan Garber
- The Atlantic
- December 14, 2012
- Leave a comment
The most elite musicians in the world don't necessarily spend more time practicing their craft than their less-accomplished peers. Instead, they spend more time practicing smartly. "They focus their energy in packets," ASAPScience notes in the video above. "Instead of diluting their energy over the entire day, they have periods of intense work followed by breaks. Not relying on willpower, they rely on habit and discipline and scheduling."
"Discipline," sure, is easier talked about than accomplished, particularly when there is a whole Internet of cats who will be sad if you do not watch their videos. And in a mobile-aided work culture that finds the lines between "work" and "play" ever more blurred, it can be harder than ever to impose structure on productivity. But the musicians are a good reminder to anyone -- whether elite violinists or totally non-elite office workers -- that the best way to get work done just might be to make sure you're making time to play, too.

Women: Health tips for your 50s and older
Focused on Health - August 2013
by Adelina Espat
Life changes with every decade. And so does your body.
Just as you set personal milestones, you should also set health goals for every stage of life. Use these tips to help you look and feel your best in your 50s and beyond.
Limit your use of hormone therapy. Taking hormones can increase your chances of developing uterine cancer, breast cancer, heart disease, blood clots and stroke. Ask your doctor if hormone therapy is the best choice for you.
Focus on foods, not supplements: Researchers are still unsure about whether or not supplements actually help prevent cancer. Speak with your doctor or a registered dietician before taking a new supplement. He or she can decide which pills you really need and what dose you should take.
Even if your doctor recommends taking a supplement, your top priority should be getting the nutrients you need from the food you eat.
Check your colon: It's that time. Colorectal cancer screening starts after age 50. The good news is you've got choices. You can schedule a colonoscopy, a virtual colonoscopy or a fecal occult blood test (more commonly known as an FOBT).
These exams are worth the minor discomfort, if any. Why? At least six out of 10 colorectal cancer deaths can be prevented if everyone age 50 and older got screened regularly.
So start the colorectal screening discussion at your next check-up. Your doctor can help you decide which exam is best for you.

Snuff out the cigarette. More women die from lung cancer each year than breast cancer. The cause: smoking.
Want to quit? You are not alone – 70% of women who smoke say they want to quit. And it's never too late to quit. Get help and support. If you're still having trouble, cut back as much as possible and make your home smoke-free.
Get more health tips for all ages
"Practicing these healthy behaviors is important for all women, regardless of age," says Therese Bevers, M.D., medical director of MD Anderson's Cancer Prevention Center . "So take note of all of these tips — even the ones directed toward women older or younger than you."
And talk to your doctor about other cancer screening exams, like the mammogram, Pap test and HPV test. Exams also are available for those at increased risk for ovarian, endometrial, lung and skin cancer.
Your doctor can help you learn about your personal risk for cancer, and tell you what exams you should get and how often.

Pella — An accident last night claimed the life of an 84-year-old Pella man.
According to the Iowa State Patrol, Christopher Lyle, 31, of Pella, was driving his 2005 Dodge Caravan eastbound on University in Pella, east of Broadway. A pedestrian, identified by the Patrol as Gilbert Paul Vanderwal, 84, of Pella, entered the road at a cross walk when the vehicle struck him.
This occurred at a marked cross walk at a lighted roadway. The accident occurred around 6:16 p.m. It was raining and the driver stated he did not see Vanderwal in the cross walk, due to rain and the glare from the lights.
Vanderwal was transported to the Pella Medical Center. It does not appear as though Lyle has been charged.
A message has been left with Trooper Stine of the Iowa State Patrol, who is handling the investigation. If we receive more details, we will pass them on.

When a mob of high school students stormed out of Eastside Catholic in late December, 10th grader Sienna Colburn admits, she didn't expect to be rallying again on January 31.
Friday was "Z Day," planned after Eastside Catholic School in Sammamish terminated Vice Principal Mark Zmuda for marrying his partner, whom he calls the love of his life.
"I don't think anybody thought it would amount to this but I think we all had hope that something would happen," she said.
Colburn joined more than a hundred students, parents, alumni and activists Friday night for a panel discussion on LGBTQ teachings within the Roman Catholic Church.
Like others who sat beside her, Colburn wants to change those teachings.
"You could ask that about so many of these teachings: women's ordination, contraception, divorce," said Gary Chamberlain. "Will they change? I think so, but under what circumstances? When?That's really hard to say."
Chamberlain is Professor Emeritus of Christian Ethics, retired from Seattle University. Mark Zmuda's termination, he says, prompted modern day reaction that follows the pattern of past centuries as popular thought grows in contrast with church teachings.
"Then the teaching no longer becomes valid. So, people in a sense walk away from it," Chamberlain said. "As democracy becomes more a part of the whole structure of the Catholic Church, then you may begin to see some shifts."
It happened with usury, slavery, and theology laced with anti-Semitism. As public opinion shifted, church teaching followed.
"It was John Paul II who officially apologized for, you could call them teachings, but 'mis-teachings,' about Christians and Jews," Chamberlain said.
As it concerns sexuality, Chamberlain believes change would have to occur in two main foundations for current Catholic teaching on same-sex unions: scripture and natural law. Scripture readings concern the way in which Catholics interpret the Bible's references to homosexual acts. Natural law refers to the idea that a man and woman are a "natural fit" physiologically, and thereby reflect God's divine law.
"There was a real emphasis upon having children and anything that didn't contribute to that was morally wrong," Chamberlain said.
The Vatican began rethinking sexuality for procreation only in the 1960s. Popular readings of the Bible have also changed, considering scripture in context with its ancient audience.
"It's not a long-lasting loving relationship in which there's a commitment to each other," Chamberlain said.
That's exactly how Colburn sees her former vice principal's marriage, which is why she won't give up.
"Show him that we all love him and we're behind him no matter what," she said.
Zmuda is inspired by the movement but describes the battle as a very personal one, hurting his marriage, his finances, and his sense of stability and joy.
"I've had to file for unemployment," he said.
Any official change in Roman Catholic moral teaching in regards to same-sex unions would likely begin with the Pope calling a special commission to study the issue.

Tonight marks the unofficial start of the basketball season as the week-long Pastor-Cooper Memorial Tournament tips off at Daemen College.
As usual, it's a great appetizer plate of girls and boys teams to check out as the season gets under way. It's a crazy-busy week here but I'll be heading out there as soon as I'm able.

OKLAHOMA CITY — Two Oklahoma City men accused of taking part in an illegal gambling operation pleaded guilty Monday to federal gambling and money laundering charges.
Teddy Mitchell, 58, and son Dryden Ryley Mitchell, 32, entered the pleas in U.S. District Court in a plea agreement in which prosecutors agreed to dismiss additional charges against both men.
Prosecutors alleged that Teddy Mitchell was the leader of an illegal Internet gambling business that operated poker games, took sports wagers, used an illegal gambling website and laundered illegal gambling proceeds. Mitchell told U.S. District Judge David Russell that he and at least five other men operated the gambling business between 2004 and 2010.
"I went out and found people who wanted to gamble on games," Mitchell said. Questioned by Assistant U.S. Attorney Ashley Altshuler, Mitchell said he had been a bookie most of his life, taking sports bets for clients, both in person and over the phone. He said he had about 60 clients in Oklahoma and other states.
