changed crews and they went back in and broke the doordown and found the victims in there. said Boxholm Fire

Wednesday, Jan. 20, 20162 Dayton Review

I wrote this column in 2009 on a

new newspaper movie, State of

lay. And I comment on many

other newspaper movies including

my favorite, His Girl Friday...

Summer is upon us and many people watch one ortwo movies in area theatres. And the best movie, that is stillshowing at a few places, is State of Play. Its a contemporary newspaper movie that is fastpaced and a real thriller. State of Play, which hasnt had

uch play in terms of publicity, has a fantastic cast includingRussell Crowe, Ben Affleck, Rachel McAdams, Jeff Danielsand Robin Wright Penn. Crowe and McAdams are reportersat a daily newspaper, but Crowe is the newspaper reporterand McAdams writes strictly for their on-line news services.They collaborate on a murder investigation involving a localcongressman. Penn, incidentally, was working for a daily news-paper (as Theresa) in Chicago in the 1999 hit film, Messagein a Bottle. She was the love interest of Kevin Costner, whose

essage in a bottle was found by Penn, which led to a news-paper column story, and then Penn takes the time to find thelonely widower. It was based on a Nicholas Sparks book. Some ofthe best movies throughout history have centered on, or haveheavily involved newspapers. For any doubters, the Ameri-can Film Institute in a well publicized campaign in 1998 rat-ed Citizen Kane the best film ever made. The film parallelledthe life of newspaper publisher William Randolph Hearst andstarred Orson Wells. There have been hundreds of movies produced

over the years that revolved around newspapers. And truly,any are some of the best movies ever made. Or perhaps,

one could say these films are among the most entertainingfilms ever produced. In the 1990s, there was I Love Trouble, with NickNolte and Julia Roberts. They were rival investigative re-porters who teamed up on a dangerous assignment. DenzelWashington was an investigative reporter in The PelicanBrief, 1993; and Michael Keaton and Glenn Close were keystaff members at The Paper, 1994. Absence of Malice, 1982, involved a reporter (Sal-ly Field), and a savvy business leader (Paul Newman), whoproved his innocence after newspaper stories falsely con-nected him to perceived criminal activities.All the Presidents Men, 1976, was a true story about Wood-ward and Bernstein, reporters at the Washington Post, who

undercovered the Watergate scandal. They were portrayedquite well by Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman. The best movie of all time? Forget about CitizenKane. The best film of all time (that can be watched overand over again) has to be His Girl Friday, 1940. Cary Grantis the determined newspaper publisher who will do anythingto prevent his ace reporter Hildy Johnson (Rosalind Russell)from leaving the newspaper business. He even thinks aboutdynamiting a train. He has her fiance harassed by a coun-terfeiter and thief, but the unique thing about this film is theamazing dialogue. Walter Mathau and Jack Lemon head a stellar castin a remake of that same newspaper film, adapting the origi-nal title, The Front Page. This film is so hilarious! Clark Gable is a newspaper reporter in the ac-claimed, It Happened One Night, 1940. Gable was also thefiery newspaper editor, James Gannon, in the 1957 comedy,

Teachers Pet, with Doris Day. Gannon is the crusty, no-non-sense editor. . .he plays poker with the boys, drinks a little too

uch, and has been a womanizer all his life, until he meetsa journalism instructor (Day) and they fall in love. Its a funromantic comedy. The list of newspaper movies is endless. Remem-ber Meet John Doe (1943) with Barbara Stanwyck and GaryCooper? The talented Alfred Hitchcock produced ForeignCorrespondent in 1940. And then there are newspaper

ovies that arent considered newspaper movies by every-one. State Fair, 1945, comes to mind. A Des Moines newspa-per reporter (Dana Andrews) is covering the Iowa State Fairand meets the Frake family. He has a romance with JeanneCrain on the midway. Its a wonderful Rogers & Hammer-stein musical. The highly acclaimed, The Killing Fields, won

awards in 1984. There was Continental Divide, 1981, JohnBelushi; A Case of Libel, 1981; Fletch, 1985; Not for Pub-lication, 1984; The Year of Living Dangerously, 1962. AndSlander, 1952, and City News and Big Town and on and on.. . For a terrific movie experience right now, pleasesee State of Play. Its a good film for all age groups. And ifyou want to watch a great DVD some night, check out one ofthe classic newspaper movies listed above.

Im almost at a loss for words. It seems to me that thispoliticking has been going on for at least eight years. Ihave had some conversations with others who agree. With the Iowa (first in the nation, for whateverprestige that gives us) caucuses at hand the politickinghas heated up and is running in extra high gear. Therewas and old radio show that I vaguely remember calledCAN YOU TOP THIS? I dont remember what it wasall about but things are already steaming up and it seemsthat is the game now being played. Im gonna do this Well, then, Im gonna do that.

I have never attended a caucus but my oldestgrandchild is very avid and will be taking her daughterwith her to her chosen partys caucus. I have learned mygreat granddaughter, even though she is only seventeen,because she will be eighteen by election time, can reg-

ister and participate in the caucus. Grandma, do youwant to go with us? I informed her that I could only bean observer, not a participant. Yes, I am and have beenfor years, a registered voter and have faithfully kept myregistration up to date and valid when I have moved overthose years, but, I am a registered Independent. I think Iwill stay home. So, you get no confession out of me as to whichway I will be leaning now or any other time. I am oldenough that I had to be 21 to register and vote so thefirst presidential election for me was in 1952 and I didvote. I have voted ever since. I have stood in lines in thecold because the building was too small to hold the longlines. I have gotten up especially early to stand first ornear first in line when the polls opened. I am one who isvery pleased with the early votes now allowed at special

places around our voting precincts as that takes the pres-sure off the rush and crowds on election day. One year,before they had the early voting places out in our neigh-borhoods, I traipsed down to the courthouse (I think thatwas the place) and did an absentee ballot as I was to havesurgery the week of general elections.

The first time I voted it was Eisenhower vs.Stevenson. We had been in a vicious war not too manyyears preceding and enough people felt that Eisenhower,having been a great leader and a communicator in thosetimes, would make a great leader as our president. I feltthe same that he would make great leader but not somuch because of the political hype his backers and pro-motors were giving him but because I just felt he mustbe a pretty good guy. I am reminded of an old, old adver-

And nine months to go...tisement for some brand of piston rings of a big, burly,unshaven man doing something so gentle and the cap-tion, Tough, but oh so gentle. Surely this had to beEisenhower, the guy who had had to be tough in theETO during the war and yet the kind, soft spoken, smil-

ing man who took the time to visit with two teen agehigh school girls in a hospital where his wife was recu-perating from a serious case of pneumonia. Could he,wouldnt he, that respected general, be just as suitableas our president? Apparently the nation felt that way. Hewas overwhelmingly elected by both the popular voteand the Electoral College, carrying all but nine states,all southern and even Virginia and Tennessee gave theirvotes to him (so my research map shows).

Now, you may think you know me and my po-litical attitude. Well, no As I said, I am a registeredIndependent. I have not given my undivided allegianceto a particular party and wont. I have voted in everypresidential election since 1952 and sometimes it hasbeen for the winner and sometimes the loser. Things aredifferent in the campaigning these days and I will reiter-

ate, I am already tired of it. I especially dont like a lotof e-mails I get, and particularly the so-called jokeswhich are degrading, whichever candidate to whom theyare directed. I think it is getting time to send my owngeneral e-mail note to leave me off their lists of any-thing political, including jokes. For younger readers, this may be a year thattakes a prominent place in your memory bank. Youllhear no more from me on the political atmosphere unlessI do encourage each of you to be sure you are registeredand that you take advantage of your right and privilegeto vote. I am doing that now and even say go to a caucusand participate or observe. I am tired of politics -- but Iam going to vote!

Stewart Memorial Community Hospital(SMCH) announces the start of the SMCH Foundation.After a year of planning, the inaugural foundation boardof directors met for their first meeting on January 13,2016.

Our first meeting served as an orientation forthe new board members, and an opportunity to learnabout each other, notes Mary Ludwig, director of mar-keting, development, and volunteers. Ludwig says the board will spend the next fewmeetings establishing policy and planning the future ofthe foundation. We are essentially building the founda-tion blocks for the successful establishment of this fund-raising vehicle well into the future, comments Ludwig. Board members were selected through an appli-

cation process, which started last summer. Our goal wasto identify board members that brought different strengthsto the board and represented communities served by ourorganization.

Board members are Seth McCaulley, ChuckSchmitt, Marcvi Duncan, Amy Schumacher, Faye Hus-ter, Marcie Boerner, Heather Cain, Mary Ludwig, and JoGrodahl. The board will work to establish goals that alignwith the goals of the organization. Our vision is to trans-form our communities by providing coordinated care andexceptional experiences.

The Foundation goals will support SMCH inachieving this important vision. The end result will becharitable giving that represents an investment in im-proving the health of our communities, shares Heather

Cain, CEO. The foundation board will also work collab-oratively with the SMCH Auxiliary. Our Auxiliary hasbeen the backbone of fundraising for SMCH for over 50years.

The Auxiliary will continue to play an integralrole in raising funds to support our endeavors throughtheir traditional fundraisers like the $5 Jewelry Sale,Trivia Night and Table A Fare, notes Ludwig.

Ludwig says that while the Auxiliary has fo-cused on fundraising through events, the foundationwill focus on fundraising through annual campaigns andplanned giving.

The newly formed Stewart Memorial Community Hospital Foundation board members from left to right areSeth McCaulley, Heather Cain, Chuck Schmitt, Mary Ludwig, Amy Schumacher, Jo Grodahl, Faye Huster, and MarcieBoerner. Missing from the photo is Marci Duncan.

Stewart Memorial Community Hospital

announces start of SMCH Foundation The need for community support stems from avariety of factors. Hospitals are facing declining reim-bursements which leads to negative operating margins,capital needs to invest in patient care exceeds the budget,and SMCH does not generate county tax revenue to sup-port the hospital financially.

There are 42 hospitals in the state that do levytaxes from the communities they support. This gener-ates an additional $300,000 to $2.3 million in revenue foreach of these hospitals to reinvest into their organizationsand infrastructure. It makes a difference. And unlike theschools and county, SMCH does not garner this supportin the form of taxes from the communities we serve.

This further supports the need to generate com-munity support through a foundation to allow us to ac-

complish our mission of providing quality health andwellness to you and your family, says Cain.

A better world. . .

Dear Editor,

We live in a complex, technological world todayfilled with many dangers and opportunities. Our respon-sibility of choosing our democratic destiny by attendingthe Iowa Caucuses behooves us to reject ideas that may

have been relevant 50 or two hundred years ago, ideasthat divide us, or distractions cooked up by the lamestream corporate media and the wealthiest 1% that wantto game the system even more.

I intend to support somebody who has reliablystood with the rest of us, the 99%, to create a better worldfor our children and grandchildren. I intend to supportsomebody who is trustworthy and who trusts us to partic-ipate in government deliberations rather than spout par-tisan formulas to rake in perks and corporate campaigndonations.

The person Ill be supporting at my local cau-cus is Bernie Sanders, the straight shooter U.S. Senatorfrom the rural state of Vermont. Ive visited farmers andsmall business folks in Vermont and found that Vermontis a state where the people value their family farmers and

rural communities and value their town hall democratictraditions.

Trust will be the issue in the general electionand unifying leadership. Bernie Sanders will not only behonest with the American people, hell expect us to beinvolved with our brains in gear where everybodys ideascount.

Bernie has always ran for office as an indepen-dent, and the people of Vermont have recognized integ-rity and dedication to democratic process. Besides beingelected mayor of Vermonts capital, Burlington, in fourconsecutive elections, he was the states U.S. representa-tive for 16 years. He won the race for U.S. Senate in 2006with 65.4% of the vote and was re-elected in 2012 with71% of the vote!

No matter whether youre an independent, Re-

publican, or Democrat, you have the opportunity to helprestore sanity to our political deliberations by castingyour vote at your local Democratic Party caucus February1st for Senator Bernie Sanders. Thats what Ill be doing.
