Having trouble with your memory? Help may be on the way. Researchers from Bielefeld University in Berlin, Germany, have developed the prototype for a new device, "memory spectacles." The only problem is that the spectacles aren’t easily concealed. Reuters reports, "The prototype, a helmet mounted with two cameras, records images of objects to build up a memory of what the user sees." Wearing a helmet with two cameras attached won’t be a very discreet way to go through life. It would be difficult to blend in with the crowd or be taken seriously when your head covering reminds people of three things — the vintage gas masks from the days of World War II, the protective headgear worn by hockey goalies and the helmet worn by Darth Vader in "Star Wars." In another possible scenario, a person wearing the camera-covered helmet might be perceived as an advance scout for an alien invasion from outer space. Most people wouldn’t want that attention or notoriety when all they really want to do is remember a few things to buy at the grocery store. Much of the attention you receive may not be positive. Mothers will assume protective positions between you and their children when they meet you on the streets. In a final protective gesture, they will cover the little ones’ eyes with their hands. Small children without parents nearby will simply scream hysterically at the sight of you and run for their lives. In addition to what the memory spectacles will do to a person’s general appearance and first impressions, there is another drawback — spectacles, or eyeglasses, are items often misplaced. It’s very possible that a second set of memory spectacles will be required to locate the first set. It might be just as convenient to attach a memory device to car keys, which are also easily lost or misplaced. Obviously, the secret to the new memory spectacles is that you may not remember better, but that everyone else will remember you. As you go about town, you will stand a helmet and two cameras above everyone else. With your memory spectacles on you will literally be making a spectacle of yourself. The newfound memory might work something like this: The scene: You’re standing in a huge shopping mall parking lot and you can’t remember where you parked the car. A man, carrying packages and obviously returning to his car, walks by, yet keeps his distance from you. "Excuse me," you mutter, although your voice if difficult to understand from beneath the camera-covered helmet. Your garble is much like that of the people who take your orders at the drive-through fast food restaurants. "Could you help me find my car?" "Don’t come any closer, buddy. I remember seeing you before. How could I forget? Your car is two rows down under the J sign. Just stay away from me!" The memory spectacles will offer a few advantages above and beyond an improved memory. For example, you will always have cameras ready and rolling for on-the-spot photo opportunities. You will be able to record news stories as they happen. Finally, if you’re young and still party, you will no longer wake up the morning after and wonder if you behaved the night before or if you had fun at all. Everything you do will be a Kodak moment.

Svoboda gave a report of his meeting with Steve Kor of Dakota Land Surveying, regarding the placement of culverts in Park View Fourth Addition. The existing culvert between Lots 1 and 2 are placed correctly. A culvert must be installed between Lots 2 and 3, as previously discussed, due to the build-up on those lots, which caused low spots. Regarding Lot 4, the City must insist that the north side of this property remain low for proper water drainage. The City has the option to add a second culvert between Lots 4 and 5 for better drainage from Lot 6. If Lot 6 remains an empty lot a second culvert may not be needed. The culvert north of Lot 5 could be removed since it serves no purpose. Kor suggested adding aprons on all the culverts to provide for better water flow and landscaping. The total cost to replace the roof and gutters on the Fire Hall was $6,977.20.The Clerk was instructed to contact a resident for a second time, to demand that they dig out a ditch and culvert that they filled-in, or to notify the city office by June 18th of their intentions.

Spring is such a beautiful time of the year. Even though our world is in such turmoil we have so much to be thankful for. There are so many things we take for granted that many of the people in our world today have never known. Last week at Sweet Adeline practice we were practicing the familiar song, "Born Free." I cannot tell you who wrote it but it is very appropriate for it to be heard in our world today. For most of us, living in our wide open spaces, it is very seldom that we cannot see for many miles around us and seldom think about it as we enjoy them every day. This song "Born Free" has a very special meaning that I think we all need to share, especially in our world today. To quote the words of the song: "Born free, as free as the wind blows, as free as the grass grows. Born free, to follow your heart. You’re born free, and beauty surrounds you. The world still astounds you, each time you look at a star. Stay free, where no walls divide you. You’re born free, and life is worth living cause you’re born free. Stay free, where no walls divide you, you’re free as a roaring tide, so there’s no need to hide. You’re born free, and life is worth living, but only worth living cause you’re born free."I would like to share words written by Gene H. Hogburg:"Nations must learn that peace is not the product of war and the preparation for it, but of love and outgoing concern for others. Peace will come when nations, as well as the individuals within them, in humility, count others better than themselves." How true!Guests in the Bill and Bertha Bosch home came on Tuesday. They are cousins of Bertha, Mildred Keunen and Jo Aykens from the Keunen side. They were Henry and Marie Hykkup, Grimsby, Ontario, Canada. Monday afternoon they left for Alton, Iowa, where they planned to visit cousins there.Orrin and Bernice Aukes, Laura Paulsen and Mildred Paulsen attended the Friendship Club annual potluck dinner Sunday evening at the home of Mattie Petersen in Luverne. They do not meet during the summertime so they end their year with a potluck supper for all the members.Emma and Isabel Bosch, daughters of Tom and Amy Bosch, Sioux Falls, were guests in the home of their grandparents, Dries and Laura May Bosch, this past week and attended Bible School at Steen Reformed Church. The Steen softball team played the Hills Indees team Friday evening at Hills. They were defeated by one run! How’s that for a good game? This week they will play a northwest Iowa team Tuesday evening in Doon, Iowa. Good luck to them. Bible School was at Steen Reformed Church this past week. Their theme was "God is Able to Build You Up." There were 87 students and 15 teachers. The offering will go to "Bibles for Russia." The Bible School program was presented Sunday evening in the church. It sounds like a great week. Thanks to all who helped. Leah Hup and Jill Weitgenant attended camp at Inspiration Hills this week. The annual outdoor concert sponsored by Steen Reformed Church begins at 6:30 p.m. Sunday, June 27. Everyone is welcome. Since Father’s Day was first observed on the third Sunday in June 1910, it has been a special day for honoring fathers of the world. But "following in father’s footsteps" is not something that happens only in modern times. History records that Alexander the Great followed in the footsteps of his father, King of Macedon, and conquered the world between 334 and 325 B.C. with the invincible armies that his father had spent his life in training. Johan Straus, the composer, followed in the footsteps of his admirable father who was an honored symphony director in Vienna, Austria. Here in America, our sixth president, John Quincy Adams, was the son of John Adams, our second president. These are all famous men. It is a common saying that "manners make the man" and there is a second saying that "minds make the man" but truer than either is that "the home makes the man." For home-training includes not only manners and mind, but character. It is mainly in the home that the heart is opened, the habits are formed, the intellect is awakened and character is molded for good or bad. I think I really have to agree with that. Happy Father’s Day!

In another possible scenario, a person wearing the camera-covered helmet might be perceived as an advance scout for an alien invasion from outer space. Most people wouldn’t want that attention or notoriety when all they really want to do is remember a few things to buy at the grocery store. Much of the attention you receive may not be positive. Mothers will assume protective positions between you and their children when they meet you on the streets. In a final protective gesture, they will cover the little ones’ eyes with their hands. Small children without parents nearby will simply scream hysterically at the sight of you and run for their lives. In addition to what the memory spectacles will do to a person’s general appearance and first impressions, there is another drawback — spectacles, or eyeglasses, are items often misplaced.

I remember seeing you before. How could I forget? Your car is two rows down under the J sign. Just stay away from me!" The memory spectacles will offer a few advantages above and beyond an improved memory. For example, you will always have cameras ready and rolling for on-the-spot photo opportunities. You will be able to record news stories as they happen. Finally, if you’re young and still party, you will no longer wake up the morning after and wonder if you behaved the night before or if you had fun at all. Everything you do will be a Kodak moment.
