An Old Pair Of Boots

BY THEARON STADDON

oving day so heartlessly focuses on Mwhat has material value and what has recently or long since outlived its usefulness. Perhaps behind all the bending and lifting and wrapping and tucking, it's that pitiless snatching aside of the folds of memory and emotion in uncovering reality that makes moving such an unpleasant task. In any case, moving day had come along with all the details and decisions that erode the joy of anticipation. Down deep in the back of my closet, I uncovered an old pair of Italian rock- climbing boots. The very name swelled with grand romance, but as I turned them over in my hands, I had to admit that the years had not been kind. Once sturdy yet flexible, now they lay on my hands, gaps between sole and shoe-bottom, seams bending open with threads torn, badly worn or missing altogether. If ever there were a pair of boots that ought to be abandoned on moving day, this pair surely qualified. With a shrug I picked them up and carried them out with other trash to throw into the dumpster in the back alley. The night-time chirp of beetles and the rustle of a breeze through the maple tree along with the dimness of the street light two houses down lent a certain halo of nostalgia to those grand old Italian rock- climbing boots as I dropped the dumpster lid to cut from sight my two reliable friends sitting side by side in the dim bluish light. I know it sounds silly, but as I walked into the house I felt like crying.

Debt's the culprit. One farmer in the area burned his barn down and killed himself. For farmers, losing their land is worse than losing a loved one because they associate their land with family and the values of honesty and hard work. They feel like they're losing all hope," Roger says.

Never More Hopeful Roger tells me that Iowa farmers were never more hopeful than in the inflationary 1970s when crop prices and land values soared with a burgeoning export market. The government and lenders encouraged farmers to expand their operations to meet the increased demand of the export market. Many borrowed money when interest rates were relatively low, using their land, which was inflated in value, as collateral. The crash began in 1979 when the U.S. imposed an embargo on the export of grain to the Soviet Union in retaliation for the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. At the same time, many other nations who used to import crops from America, were improving their production technology so that they are now our competitors in the world market. Real interest rates were increasing dramatically. Land values in America's heartland suddenly plummeted in half as did crop prices. Those farmers who were over their heads in debt, had no other choice in many cases but foreclosure. "Because of low crop prices, many farmers are basically working for nothing today. A cereal box costs more than the grain in the cereal. Farming is about the only business I know of that sells wholesale and buys retail," Roger tells me. Like nearly all career farmers, Roger would like to see his 12-year-old son, Brett, follow in his footsteps but he wants him to Oregon where Roger found work as a loan officer for the Federal Land Bank. He already had earned a degree in agriculture and animal science at Iowa State University. But Roger loved farming too much to stay in Oregon. It wasn't long until the Blanchfields moved to Iowa to put down permanent roots there.

Concerned For Her Children Lou was very concerned at first of not being able to send Brett and Loralee, the Blanchfield's daughter, to an Adventist school. Growing up in Walla Walla where she attended Adventist school from first grade through college, Lou always felt that a Christian education was an Adventist child's birthright. "Living 70 miles from the nearest church school I need to examine

Flown by helicopter to a hospital in Lincoln, Al proved the medical experts wrong, not only by surviving, but by learning to do many things for himself, including using a computer and talking slightly through a tube attached near his mouth. He also operates his own motorized wheelchair. "You should see him in road gear out on the street," Arlene beams. "He can put the chair in automatic and he can really go.

A former navy pilot, Haack spent most of his professional career as a teacher, the last five years instructing woodwork and shop at the Nebraska City School for the Visually Handicapped.

There was still time for swimming in the Atlantic (which was only a few hundred feet away) and even a trip to the historical city of Puerto Plata, the supposed location where Columbus made his New World landing on December 5, 1492. On one day Dr. Erik Vetne, a pediatrician from Moberly Regional Medical Center, with the help of two nurses, his wife, Chris, and Cindy Spaulding, opened a medical clinic for the children in the area. Although word of mouth was the only source of communication, over fifty children were treated or given check-ups. The students experienced a real education as they tried to bargain in the market place, to locate a post office, or to find a bakery on a foreign island with the handicap of not speaking Spanish. Also, a deep respect and admiration was gained for these warm and friendly people who have so little materially, but exhibit such a happiness and zest for life. The highlight of the trip for many was the daily association with our Dominican Adventist brothers and sisters—working together, eating together, and worshipping together. The Sabbath service was especially memorable. Never had we listened to anyone sing with such enthusiasm and sincerity. "Unusual?" This Maranatha trip was a first for Sunnydale Academy. "Daring?" The raising of several thousand dollars over the usual class trip expenses to cover not only trip expenses, but also all the building materials for the camp to some seemed daring. A senior class traveling to a foreign country might be considered equally as daring. Sunnydale Seniors Venture "Stirring?"

Noah's Carpenters

Many hundred years ago Among the sons of men, they They ventured to remark Help to build the so-called Church That Noah had some carpenters Who are not born again. To help him build the Ark. They stay behind for sacrament, But sad to say on that last day They work, they sing, they pray; When Noah entered in, Yet never have accepted Christ, Those carpenters were left outside The Life, the Truth, the Way. And perished in their sin. Another judgment day will come, How sad to think they may have As sure as came the flood, Helped to build the Ark so great, And only those will be secure Yet still they heeded not God's Word Who shelter 'neath Christ's Blood. And awful was their fate. —From the Piedmont Park church Today the same sad fate exists newsletter, Lincoln, Nebraska.
