vintage-books.com Costa Rica is a fantasy land for nature lovers -- and golfers, too Hawaii..
.Cabo San Lucas..
.Pebble Beach..
.Myrtle Beach..
. Imagine a golf vacation at these popular golf destinations before they were discovered by the golf traveler. This will give you an idea of the golf vacation that awaits you in Costa Rica.
You will re-discover "no-hassle" tee times and the enjoyment of playing unhurried rounds of golf on courses designed by well known golf architects George Fazio, Robert Trent Jones, Jr., Ted Robinson, Jr., Mike Young and Tracy May.
Here you will find all the ingredients for a great golf vacation and the added bonus of experiencing the scenic beauty and natural attractions of Costa Rica. The BIG question' Where do you we play next' Our guess is that like all golfers you have a hard time choosing the destination for your upcoming golf adventure. There are dozens of great golf destinations and picking the right one is never an easy decision.
While many destinations have much to offer, I believe few can match Costa Rica for overall quality, cost, and safety. The Costa Rica experience combines great golf, new and exciting non-golfing adventures, and the chance to meet and interact with the warm and friendly people of this charming country. What is truly remarkable is that all of this is set in one of the world's most beautiful and ecologically diverse locations.
Recipe for a golfer's paradise: Start with volcanoes, rain forests, waterfalls and miles of perfect beaches. Add exotic animals, spice with adventures like surfing, fishing and white-water rafting, then top off with five fine golf courses, including Arnold Palmer's stunning, new Peninsula Papagayo. Thousands of years in the making, your feast is now ready; it's time for the first course.
Most trips to Costa Rica start in the Central American nation's capital, San Jose. Perched at 4,000 feet, the city boasts wonderfully cool weather year-round and is a surprisingly easy three-hour flight from Houston or Miami. Five minutes from the airport you'll find the Melia Cariari Conference Center Golf Resort, whose course was designed by George Fazio and built in 1974 by his now-famous nephew, Tom Cariari is a 6,590-yard alpine track with tight fairways lined by towering pines.
The downhill, downwind 149-yard 4th hole over water is testy -- a little local knowledge helps, so hire a caddie. Golf is a relatively new endeavor in Costa Rica, where eco-tourism has reigned supreme for years. If you want to play the course where it all began almost 29 years ago, head to Meliá Cariari in San José and tee it up at the George Fazio-designed Melia Cariari Country Club.
Melia Cariari Country Club is a par 71 layout, and was the first 18-hole facility to open in this bucolic country. The course is sits on an old coffee plantation, and is a shot-makers delight with its tight, tree-lined fairways. The course, built on hilly terrain, plays to just over 6,500 yards from the tips, but is still well respected as one of Costa Rica's most challenging tracts.
By law, Costa Rica is required to set aside one quarter of its land mass for nature preserves and National Parks - American environmentalists drool as the prospect. As you can imagine, the country's beautiful, sometimes rugged coastline is a target of a great deal of this legislation. Robert Trent Jones Jr.
, known for his ability to craft memorable courses within the context of strict environmental laws, was hired by the Spanish hotel chain Meliá to build a 650-acre seaside resort and golf course along the Pacific Coast in Guanacaste Providence. Melia Playa Conchal Beach Golf Resort was the project that emerged from the commission, and it may be the only golf course in the world that can claim monkeys in play. That's right, monkeys.
Jones was not permitted to hack down any of the properties Banyan trees, which are, incidentally, home to the indigenous Howler Monkey. If you think sinking a 10-foot putt to win a skin in front of three playing partners is nerve-racking, try draining a long roll in from of Cocoa the monkey. The course was built over a period of four years and according to many writers and players, is well positioned to become the best layout in the country.
At just over 6,500 yards from the blue tees, Melia Playa is not particularly long, but the humidity of Costa Rica keeps distance in check by taking five to ten yards off each club. If you want to shape shots and carve out doglegs, then Melia Cariari Country Club is your bag. If you enjoy a wide-open golf course that is as receptive to a driver as the locals are to "touristas," then Melia Playa will be more to your liking.
Far be it from golf course architect Ron Garl to be left out of the Costa Rica golf fray. Garl, born and raised in Florida, is no stranger to warm weather and big game fishing, and Costa Rica has the best of both worlds. Garl put his stamp on the Costa Rica golf scene with his design at Royal Pacific.
The front nine at Royal Pacific is relatively flat and quite scoreable. A number of the holes on the walk out follow a river that borders the western edge of the course. If you didn't get enough of the Howler Monkeys at Melia Playa Conchal Beach Golf Resort, you'll get your fill here.
The back nine plays through steeper geography and overall, is significantly tighter than the front. Ted Robinson Jr. doesn't get the hype of a RTJ Jr.
in the golf course design world, but the guy can flat out build a golf course. Robinson designed Shiloe, site of the 1998 PGA Championship, and with Los Suenos (the dreams), he has given Costa Rica yet another new track it can be quite proud of. Los Suenos is bordered by the Pacific Ocean on one side and rainforest on the other.
If you can honestly keep you mind on scoring, more power to you. The course is also endowed with a number of old, majestic trees that are not afraid to come into play. Los Suenos is one of the few courses you'll find that offers forecaddies - guides that help you manage you golf game based on their knowledge of the course.
In typical Costa Rican fashion, they are paid according to their helpfulness on the course. Visit to receive a FREE Costa Rica golf vacation package quote. Aventuras Elegantes, AVEL, S.

"In yet another attack against intellectual property rights--just got word that those 'libsecondlife' people and sheep have an avatar named RON HUBBARD that creates itself as identical to the avatar next to it."
Weathered in the ways of Second Life, where reporters are constantly set up with fake stories (it's like the fraud on Eve!), my eyes narrow to a suspicious slit.
I take a long drag on my Superior LupineFox ciggie and exhale in rings of contemplation. Hmmm. This seemed to be a claim that the Electric Sheep Company with the assistance of the reverse engineering group called libsecondlife had made some kinda thingie that was going to threaten copyright.
"You sound like a provocateur, dude," I replied, and thought no more of it. But then..
..
.
..he contacts me again and this time writes in alarm,
"Open sourcers libsecondlife have shut down Hooper and Bonnydoon with over 30 avatars named "Mannequin ___" get this scoop as these known griefers shut down sl.
This is real."
I look in the list -- and whoooah there are a boatload of Mannequins as the first name of bunches of new-named avatars.
And get this!
They're all born on November 7 -- which those of us who follow RL communism and the Soviet Union know as Revolution Day, the day they used to roll out the tank parade on , and Brezhnev and the subsequent ailing and drunken Soviet leaders, kept alive on monkey glands, would be propped up in the cold on top of Lenin's tomb.
My mysterious interlocutor writes again,
"Nobody knows what is going on with this group, it's called a "bot," he explains. They also have one named "Ron Hubbard," he adds, " that grabs your appearance and clothes when you touch it.
I took another long drag on my Lupine.
"Definitely a set up, and fake, fake, fake," I said to myself -- but I did take the trouble to TP out to Bonnydoon. All was clear in the moonlight.
No green dots, or red square showing a crashed sim.
I think nothing of it..
.until a *second* source contacts me a few days later and says something very similar. That is, on Friday, I have my usual discussion at the Sutherland Dam about Land Economy, and there are more new W-Hat/v-5 alts than usual, and I'm clicking and ejecting them, when one who has long been around them and in libsecondlife as well, IM's me complaining that I ejected him for event griefing (he's been a frequent flyer) and he says,
"Well, then I won't tell you about the wonderful new prim copying technology in libsl.
That's cool."
So several things follow from all this. They could be setting me up to publish something false, and make me look stupid -- hence my decision to publish it : ) YOU decide lol!
Or they could be bragging about some experiment that they may claim is about trying to close off holes in SL, but in fact may open them for some.
I flew out to BonnyDoon today and didn't see anything odd. I chatted with a shop-keeper who told me that wierd science-fiction stuff did happen in the sim -- but then, it was SL.
What isn't wierd in SL' He pointed to a guy next door who had made this amazing replica of SL land in a kind of geodesic dome.
He pulled out of inventory this tree stump, that when you click on it, it just starts growing and adding branches and filling up your whole sim if you let it. It was neat.
I didn't see any Sheep named Dolly so after clicking here and there in BonnyDoon and Hooper, I went back to work. I've come to see that what cheers the libsecondlifers and hatters and whatnot is the feeling that they can have power over other people -- make them squirm, make them worry about their art, make them feel they may suffer.
The fact is, this is the future of our future.
We live so much in the present tense of SL that we forget it's the future for most people, and because we think we are such early birds already in the future, why, we already know everything about what the future is.
But we don't. Most likely, land values and intellectual property as we knew it in our clutchy meatsack world, with all its wants and needs for "recognition" and "copyright" and "money" will fall away like so much burnt ember once we're all fired up on the Metaverse.
The Metaverse will just be about copying lots of stuff and moving it hither and yon. Why wouldn't it be' I mean, there can't be barriers and silly concepts like "your inventory" or "my inventory" or "your creation" or "the requirement that I pay you for that object". Information wants to be free.
And so does stuff and land and your clothes.
So it makes perfect sense that engineers, especially of the reverse variety, who inevitably care more about process than commodity, will copy everything and paste it all over, especially -- eventually -- in places where it's just better than Second Life is.
Sure, it sounds scary if a creepy avatar named Ron Hubbard touches you and copies your expensive look, but then isn't that just tough titties' I mean, you're on the Internet, where everything is copyable and not locked down a whole bunch.
Someone will come along and create the equivalent of those things on jpegs now on some websites that say, when you right-click on them, "You are not authorized to copy this" but they may take awhile.
Basically, you have a situation that even a non-tekkie can understand: if the Lindens can make and keep copies of everything, so can anybody. But there's more to it than just copying.
Flouncy dresses, flashing swords, mansions -- these aren't objects and commodities as all the programmers love to tell us, but features of their software. Now you see a tree. Now you don't!
And that means virtual things are more like events than things. They are created, appear, rise, and set as you log on and log off. Do you ever look at that TV movie you saw in RL again.
..well.
..EVERY time' You don't go back and read last month's newspaper.
Nor did you ever really wear that Second Life gown again, did you' It sits in inventory, clogging up the asset server. All of SL is ephemera; all of it is eterntally new. It flows.
Hardline Marxists love to quote Proudhon's "All property is theft."
In the dystopian world of the future Metaverse, concepts like "my property" or "my design" are all going to be turned on their ear. Big companies will hire designers and programmers not for their discrete IP and making of discrete things to be re-sold in some kind of "market,", but will hire them for their capacity to create major, compelling events at grid coordinates that people come to -- and then move on to the next thing.
The props for that stage-set might even be handed out that day after the big show to the audience, without any fussing over "IP", because to keep the audience, the flitting mob, the creators will have to make something new -- again and again and again.
They will be valued not for creating a static thing that grows in value with preservation or resale, but for creating flowing events brand-new every single day as the synthetic sun rises four times on the artificial horizon.
Just got another tip that SuezanneC Baskverille has on Sluniverse.
com of the clone-maker cloning her avatar -- and Aimee and Hamlet don't escape the treatment.
"Gridcrashers Plastic and Disco Duck in SL again, thanks to Baba Yamamoto. These are just prims with some some llSetText floating atop them, not real avatars with people behind them.
Intended as a joke, I assume, but given that this display following a lengthy down time for the Hooper sim that apparently resulted from LibSL activity, it doesn't show very good taste or judgement. The down time for the Hooper sim caused problems for the other land owners in Hooper. I doubt they find the joke real funny.
The LibSL crew might want to consider trying to present a positive image instead of making themselves look like troublemakers for no good reason."
SuezanneC titled, "Ron the clonebot copying Howie Lament copying Philip Linden".
Here's the as well -- pretty creepy.

Donnie Wilford (Class of 1956) has sent some old photographs of various scenes of Trenton, including this one of the Rock Island yards that shows the old smokestack that others have mentioned recently. The other pictures he sent will be posted here in a few days.
A Good Man Slighted
As most of you already know, Ed Geyer, the long-time principal at Trenton High School died last week.
Harry Bratton (Class of 1951) and Phil Schlarb (Class of 1956) both informed me of his death, and Phil sent along this picture he said was taken a few years ago when Mr. Geyer was part of the VFW color guard.
I sent this obituary ( ) to the people on my mailing list.
Shirley (Appleby) Schmidt (Class of 1953) read it and wrote:
"This was really not much of an obituary for someone who had been as involved in Trenton as he was."
That is true, but it is what you would expect from the Trenton Republican-Times. I have told people this before, but I'll say it again: That publication is the poorest excuse for a newspaper that I have seen in a long, long time.
It is a disgrace to the profession.
In case you want to excuse it because it is in a small town, take it from an old newspaper junkie who has read newspapers, large and small, all his life: There are a lot of towns much smaller than Trenton that have much, much better newspapers.
If I still lived in Trenton and had to depend on the Republican-Times for my local news, I would be writing so many letters of complaint that the Post Office would have to hire extra help.
The problems start with the fact that the editor has a major conflict of interests and extend through lack of news judgment, poor writing and editing. Even if they had someone there who could recognize news -- such as Mr. Geyer's death -- there is no one there who could write the story.
The man was a top administrator at Trenton High School and Trenton Junior College for more than 30 years, as well as being involved in other endeavors, and the newspaper kissed off his death with one of its standard, formula obituaries.
It should have been a detailed front page story with comments from some of the people who knew him and who know what he meant to the city. They would not be hard to find, and many would probably have echoed the sentiments of Donna (Coon) Foster (Class of 1955).
When Donna learned of his death, she sent an e-mail that said:
"He was one of a kind. Every school and every student would be blessed to have had a principal like Ed Geyer. I'm glad I did.
"
Enough of my ranting; on to more pleasant subjects, such as Maid-Rite sandwiches.
Wally Kemp Got the First One
Phyllis (Nichols) Kemp (Class of 1953) read with interest the recent discussions about the Maid-Rite restaurant on East Ninth Street, including the fact that Bob McRae's mother baked pies there every day, and she provided a lot more information. Phyllis wrote:
"Maid-Rite, my favorite subject.
"In 1947 or '48, my husband, Wally Kemp (Class of 1950), carried the Kansas City Star. He got a new customer at an old gas station on 9th Street. It was a man from Iowa.
He told Wally he was putting in a Maid-Rite and he was going to love them.
"Wally checked on the progress every day, and when it was finally finished, he gave Wally the first Maid-Rite ever served in Trenton.
"Wally fell in love with them, and then me after I went to work there in 1950.
By then the man had leased the business to Dale Hays. Dale put a small kitchen in the back. He also took out the cement slab in front of the building where the old gas pumps had been.
"Mrs. Mac, as we called her, went to work for Dale before I did and worked there most of her life. She made about 7 pies every morning.
She also put out a plate lunch 5 days a week for 65 cents. At that time, Maid-Rites were 25 cents. Our menu was very limited.
We had Maid-Rites and Cokes. Mrs. Mac had a skillet in the back where she cooked an occasional tenderloin.
"Car-hopping was very easy. We had no tickets; just took the order, went inside, yelled and waited for the order. I took the money, put Dale's money in one pocket and my tips in the other one.
I'm proud to say I never gave away food to anyone.
"It was a mess outside with no formal parking. It was pull in and park anyplace.
Sometimes you could get blocked in for an hour or more.
"In 1951, Dale, his wife, Betty, and I put up a stand at the fair. Never worked so hard in my life.
We set a record for selling the most Maid-Rites in a single day in the states of Missouri and Iowa. As far as I know, the record was never broken. Betty and I did all the work and Dale counted the buns.
Ha.
"Not sure when Dale and Betty left and Rex Pettegrew took over, but I worked for him, too. He enlarged the building and added the ice cream machine.
The liquid for the ice cream was made in Chillicothe then delivered to Trenton. It was stored at the ice house across the street.
"When Rex left, the business was taken over by Bob McRae, Mrs.
Mac's son. In 1952, I married Wally and ended my career at the Maid-Rite."
Elizabeth (Barnett) Bates (Class of 1952) also worked at the Maid-Rite and remembers that Mrs.
McRae baked all those pies. She wrote:
"In the late Forties, I worked as a curb girl at the Maid-Rite for Dale and Betty Hays. Miss Mac (as we called her) worked there at that time.
She was a marvel. She cooked breakfast, waited on the counter, baked those delicious pies and cooked the dinner meal all at the same time and without help. The stools were always filled.
"She only had one dinner menu but would substitute a tenderloin (if you didn't like the meat entree) and always had potato salad or cottage cheese to substitute. She was a wonderful cook. Even the meat loaf was to die for.
"Pat (Reichelt) Peterson, June (Rosenstangle), Dixie (Ireland) Brown and, I think, Pauline (Findley) Shipley made up the rest of the crew. Dale and Betty would leave us alone there on the weekend (we were all sophomores) and it is hard to believe how responsible we were.
"Years later, I drove by and was amazed at how small that gravel lot was.
The cars would crowd in on Saturday night, and you had no idea where they would be when you brought the order out.
"I can remember one extremely busy night when one of the girls handed me a tray with four or five malts on it. The tray caught on the edge of the pie case and the whole order, malts, sandwiches, etc.
, spilled everywhere on the counter and floor. Not a problem. It was cleaned up in minutes and we went right on with the business at hand.
"I can remember that we had gallon jugs of some kind of liquid that we poured onto the meat while we cooked it. At the time, I thought this was the secret to Maid-Rites, although they don't do that now. I also remember that if you touched the Maid-Rite machine and the coffee maker at the same time, it would shock you.
"The nearest you can come to those old Maid-Rites are the ones on 3rd Avenue in Marshalltown, Iowa, just 14 miles from where we live. We have others closer, but we always go there. They are the ones who ship all over the world.
"I really enjoy all the remembrances. Has anyone mentioned the drive-in with the wonderful tenderloins and root beer out north of town, just south of the drive-in theater' So many places have been mentioned that I had forgotten about.
"Joe and Nada Hathaway, Karen (Hathaway) Dockery's parents, owned the Blue Moon Cafe on Main before Vern Smith bought it.
Everything is so ever changing and interesting with the different slants on the same places at various times."
Do It Yourself
Hank Fischer (Class of 1952) said you can have a Maid-Rite sandwich (or something close to it) at home. Hank wrote:
"For those who remember fondly the Maid-Rite restaurant in Trenton but can't find a good substitute, here is a link to the best recipe to be found.
( ). It is as close as you'll get to the real thing. We have used it several times and it brings back the memories of those good times recalled by your readers.
"But don't forget to use beer instead of water."
Many More Memories
Bob Wimer (Class of 1951) noted that several items were discussed in the previous post, including a memory by George Etherton (Class of 1953) of working for Rex Pettegrew at the Maid-Rite restaurant. Bob wrote:
"I can't help but respond to your last update.
I have many fond memories of the Maid-Rite. One of my best friends (Bill Vance) married Rex's wife's sister back in the mid-Fifties. She was working there when Bill met her.
My sister, Beverly (Wimer) Bunten (Class of 1954) car-hopped there for quite a while.
"As for George Etherton, we did a tour of Coon Rapids, Iowa, and the detassling business and took the long way home, 'thumbing it.' Remember, George'
"You could have knocked me over with a feather when Bob Lager (Class of 1954) said he bought three cigarettes for 5 cents at Doc's.
All this time I never knew he smoked!! He did make several trips into the weed patch at 10th and Avalon St.
"Frances Mosier sold the flower shop (Eleanor's) and the building to Allen Seidel, along with me buying a paid-up lifetime lease on the part the barbershop occupied. Seidel sold the building to Larry Kackley, who later went bankrupt.
"Tom Eads bought the business and moved it out on 9th and Normal St.
The building stood empty for a while, and then it purchased by some people who tried to operate a sandwich and amusement type business. They lost it also. Later, Melvin Babb and his wife opened a sandwich and coffee shop, which was there when the building burned.
My lease went through several owners. Whoever bought the building, my lease went with it.
"Donna (Warren) Tener (Class of 1955) mentioned Mrs.
McCracken, who worked for Eleanor. Her name was Letha. She had three children, Patsy, Jerry and Barbara.
She was badly crippled with arthritis, put in long hours and never complained to anyone. Her husband, George, was an engineer for the Rock Island Railroad.
"Frank Girdner opened the barber shop in the basement of the Plaza Hotel in 1930 and was the only barber to work in that shop until it closed.
He was in the Meuhlbach Hotel in K.C. before coming to Trenton.
He worked on a lot of businessmen there and got a lot of tips on the stock market. He started buying stock after the crash in '29 and made a lot of money. He was a big holder in AT T.
He and Merle Ebbe were my neighbors on East 7th Street. I am still in the same house (the former Helmandollar home). Last month made 40 years.
"The barber shop below Horton's Hardware was opened by Cliff Hickman and Derb McReynolds. They were formerly across the street between the bank and the theater. Derb didn't stay in the basement long.
He sold his interest to Cliff. Cliff hired Buck Forth to work for him. Cliff later sold to Harrison Wheeler, and later Harrison sold it back to Cliff.
This was when Bob Grant bought the shop from Cliff, and he retired.
"I came in the shop in 1958 and bought half interest from Grant, and about a year later I bought Bob's interest. I stayed in that shop until March of 1965, then went to 5 Points.
"
And Sharon (Keen) Ferris (Class of 1953), also commenting on the previous post, wrote:
"There was a clothing store next to Trenton Hardware. Furlongs was the name. Smith Clothiers was on further north, beyond the jewelry store.
"
Going Back Downtown
Jerry Moore (Class of 1955), the son of a former downtown businessman, joined the discussion of some of the places located there. He wrote:
"This is how I remember some of the businesses:
"Starting at Main and Crowder Road (Crowder was 14th Street). On the northwest corner was a taxi stand.
On the northeast corner was a liquor store. From there, starting south on the west side of Main was the library, two houses and Central School. On the east side, a laundry, an alley, then I believe there was a furniture store, Doc Yeager's, possibly another store, Wright Studio, paint and wallpaper store (may have been Norris Paint and Wallpaper), Assembly of God Church, Muff Bakery.
"13th Street south -- on the west side of Main there was a gas station that was later turned into a drive-in, J Burdman Auto Parts, D-X service station. On the east side I think there may have been a farm feed supply store, then a Sinclair (') service station.
"12th Street south -- on the west side Temple Stevens Grocery which later became Achenbachs Appliance store, then my dad's place, Eat Moore Cafe, Bert Hudson shoe repair, Perry Electric, Western Auto, Connell Hardware, Davis Paint and Wallpaper, Fair Drug Store.
I remember Perry Electric was one of the first businesses to sell TV. He would leave a TV (black and white) on at night in the window for you to see. On the east side of the street -- Baptist Church, Monroe Veach Saddle Shop, Davis Grocery, which I believe became Hy-Vee, and H.
S. Kress five and dime.
"11th Street south -- on the west side, Gipson Furniture ('), jewelry store, shoe store, Kroger and Montgomery Ward.
On the east side, Mattingly's five and dime, J.C. Penney, A P Grocery, and on the corner Baker Clothing Store.
"Other businesses I remember -- L O Sales next to the Royal Theater. Swede Signs, I think everyone knew Swede (his real name is Albert Magnuson). He ran the projectors at the Plaza Theater and painted his signs in a room next to the projection room.
He later moved his sign shop to west of Snappy Service on 10th Street.
"There was another business next to Snappy Service. It was Automatic Music Company.
It was owned by Art Hunholt and Bill Welch. They operated all of the juke boxes and pinball machines located in restaurants around town.
"The Studebaker Garage was on West Crowder Road.
Also on West Crowder was Stewart Dairy, owned by Francis Stewart. He was my uncle. He delivered milk to most of the local grocery stores.
He had a route that went to Galt, Osgood, Harris, Newtown, Princeton, Spickard and Tindall.
"The Plaza Coffee Shop located in the Plaza Hotel. There was a tavern and pool hall (I don't remember its name) located downstairs on the southwest corner of 9th and Main.
Norris Hartley had Hartley's Pool Hall on the northwest corner of 8th and Main.
"Mentioned earlier was Garners Popcorn Stand at 9th and Main, but there was a gentleman who pulled a wagon with a popcorn popper and sold popcorn. He would set up in front of the barber shop at Five Points in the evening.
"Reference the Maid-Rite -- the mural on the wall behind the counter was painted by Richard Babb (Class of 1952).
"If you go to e-bay and search Trenton Mo, there is usually a lot of old post cards with views of Trenton."
for that e-bay site that Jerry mentioned.
There is some interesting stuff there, including this matchbook cover from Charlie's Nite Club. I'm wondering if that is the old Charlie Dye place just across the old river bridge. I did not think they had food there.
Also on the e-bay site is a picture of Main Street looking north from Five Points. It mentions a Jack Sprat Food Store, which I don't believe anybody has remembered here.
Joy (Dolan) Stone (Class of 1966) also has memories of downtown Trenton.
She wrote:
"I remember Brown's Dress shop, which was a 5 Points. There was also Clara's (I think I remember the name right), and there was also a wallpaper and paint store along there. The Trenton National Bank was there by the alley, and Elk's Hotel was there.
"North from 5 Points was Mattingly Bros. dime store with the store department upstairs and a candy counter where you could spend a nickel and have a bag of candy. J.
C. Penney's was on one side of the street and Montgomery Ward's was on the west side. Wards had an upstairs, main floor and basement, plus the tire shop across the street at the back of the building.
"There were three drug stores on Main Street, Boyers ('), Cisco Brown Drug (') and Fair's Drug Store. These drug stores all had fountains. Later there was Mart's Drug Store.
Hope my memory of these is correct.
"There was also the Sugar Bowl, which was operated by the Whites, south of the Junior High building, which is now the college. Junior High had no lunch program, so a lot of kids went there for lunch.
There were pin ball machines in the front with the fountain in the back, a juke box, dance floor and booths."
Downtown Golf Course'
Jerry Berlin (Class of 1952) may have come up with another downtown business. He wrote:
"I have greatly enjoyed all the various accounts of what was where in old Trenton town.
I am wondering if anyone remembers a miniature golf operation on the northeast corner of Main and Eighth in the old post office building. I 'think' I remember one being there for a very short time, probably in the mid to late 1940s."
Information Needed
Speaking of golf, Bill Estes (Class of 1957) is trying to find out the date of the Ike Russell Golf Tournament in Trenton.
Can anyone help him out'
The Lazy K
Janice (Lewis) Bair (Class of 1959) asked recently if anyone knew about the Lazy K, and I had to admit that I did not know of the place.
Well, Peggy Kincaid knows of it. Peggy wrote:
"In reply to the question about the Lazy K, my brother, Bob Kincaid and his wife, Talma, opened it after they got out of the Victory Cafe on Tinsman Ave.
"Bob had a great business at the Victory Cafe starting in 1952, and our Grandma Cyphers was there every morning to put the coffee on and start baking pies for the day that would melt in your mouth.
"At 5:30, my sister, Betty, would start her day, and it seems Bob and Talma were there most of the time. I worked short hours.
It was a busy place.
"In 1957, they opened the Lazy K with 7 or 8 employees, and when they sold the place to the Dairy Queen they had 33 kids working for them.
"Bob always said he felt like a monkey behind glass because he had one arm and he did all the cooking where people could see him.
They had the best tenderloins, and he pounded them out himself, working until 3 a.m."
Janice (Lewis) Bair also worked there.
She wrote:
"The Lazy K was an early drive-in restaurant up the street from the Maid-Rite owned and operated by Bob Kincaid. I worked there at least one summer, the first summer it was the Lazy K. Before that it was a Tastee Freeze, or something like that.
It was, I think, across from the old ice plant on Ninth Street. I must have been 14 or 15.
"I worked at Joe's, which became Duazelle's (none of us ever figured out what that really meant).
That was just before the Lazy K opened.
"Peggy Kincaid worked inside and I remember that Jackie Ferguson Ballinger and I, along with several other girls, worked outside. Bob could really flip those burgers and dress them up and wrap them.
It was really an art because he did it all with one hand. We got a nickel off of everything, so we could have nickel drinks and cones free.
"Joe's, up on Main, was managed by Mrs.
Hill, who lived on 10th Street, almost even with where I grew up on 11th, and Anita Good and Frankie Kercheval and I were the girls who worked the front. We served a great lunch for 65 cents. Meat, potatoes, salad, and a vegetable, roll and butter, and ice tea or coffee.
Think of it.
"Mrs. Hill was famous for her pies.
People would come in on their coffee break and we would 'save' them a piece of pie. They would pay us the 15 cents (can you believe it') and we would put a fork on the pie plate and put it on the top shelf of the pie case until they came in for lunch, which I think we started serving about 11:15 or so.
"Some days we would make two or three dollars in tips.
Jerry Lee Lewis' 'Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On' was on the juke box, and lots of people played it.
"The Dairy Queen was across the street from the original Trenton High School. Then, when I was a junior or senior, they built onto the back.
We loved to order hot fudge sundaes and French fries and play the juke box. I graduated in 1959, but went to TJC, which was in the same building, and that DQ was great. It was owned by the Johns family, I think.
"
I don't remember the Lazy K -- it must have opened shortly after I left Trenton -- but I do remember when Bob owned the Victory Cafe. I also remember that when duck-hinting season started, Bob opened the Victory at some extreme early hour so that hunters could have a place to eat breakfast before they headed out.
Someone told me recently that the Grundy County Museum, which is across the street from the building that housed the Victory Cafe, has tentative plans to expand into that facility.
Pie, Pie, Pie
Have you noticed that with Mrs. McRae at the Maid-Rite, Peggy Kincaid's grandmother at the Victory Cafe and Mrs. Hill at Joe's, Trenton must have been pie-lover's heaven in those days.
Kind Words
Carolyn (Lager) Crone (Class of 1952) sent a nice e-mail message after reading the previous edition of this site. She wrote:
"As I read today's THS news, I got the neatest feeling. It was a feeling of security, warm feelings, feeling of appreciation (may sound funny, but that's what I felt) for all that are sharing feelings that we all, ALL, have experienced through our same wonderful youth in Trenton, Missouri.
"That last sentence is so screwed up I can't seem to get it fixed.
"I'd be willing to bet that no other town in these United States of America has former students sharing their youthful thoughts with each other. What we have because of Bud is special.
Thank you, Bud, for the work you're putting into this."
I thank you for the kind words, Carolyn, but I'm afraid you would lose the bet. I got the idea for this site after reading a newspaper article about former residents of a tiny town in Iowa who keep in touch with a site similar to this.
And doing this is a lot more fun than work. Those who know me know that if there was any work involved, I wouldn't do it.
Happy Birthday (Maybe)
Rex Burress (Class of 1952) has suggested that there be a list of birthdays on this site (his was March 9) so that former classmates could exchange greetings then.
That can be done. Wedding anniversaries, too. If you would like your birthday or anniversary listed here, let me know and I will try to keep track of them some way.
My address is applebysl@msn.com.
E-Mail Addresses
Bob Lager (Class of 1954) has asked that his e-mail address be listed here to that others can contact him.
You can write to Bob at BLAGER1@aol.com.
If you would like your address added to that list, let me know.
for the complete list.
