Showing at the Dells Theater

“42”: This film tells the story of two men—the great Jackie Robinson and legendary Brooklyn Dodgers General Manager Branch Rickey—whose brave stand against prejudice forever changed the world by changing the game of baseball. In 1946, Rickey (played by Harrison Ford) put himself at the forefront of history when he signed Jackie Robinson (Chadwick Boseman) to the team, breaking Major League Baseball’s infamous color line.  But the deal also put both Robinson and Rickey in the firing line of the public, the press and even other players.  Facing unabashed racism from every side, Robinson was forced to demonstrate tremendous courage and restraint by not reacting in kind, knowing that any incident could destroy his and Rickey’s hopes.  Instead, Number 42 let his talent on the field do the talking—ultimately winning over fans and his teammates, silencing his critics, and paving the way for others to follow. “42” is showing through Thursday, June 20.  128 minutes.  It is rated PG-13 for thematic elements including language

“HANGOVER PART III”: These are the newest adventures of the three guys who go on vacations that turn into orgies of epic mayhem and bad decisions! In this third and final film of director Todd Phillips’ record-shattering comedy franchise.  This time, there’s no wedding.  No bachelor party.  What could go wrong?  But when the Wolfpack hits the road, all bets are off. “Hangover Part III” is showing through Thursday, June 20.  130 minutes.  It is rated R for pervasive language including sexual references, some violence and drug content, and brief graphic nudity.

“MONSTERS UNIVERSITY”: Billy Crystal and John Goodman reunite as the voices of the lovable monsters Mike Wazowski and Sulley. Mike Wazowski and James P. Sullivan are an inseparable pair, but that wasn’t always the case. From the moment these two mismatched monsters met, they couldn’t stand each other.   Monsters University unlocks the door to how Mike and Sulley overcame their differences and became the best of friends. “Monsters University ” starts Friday, June 21 nationally, including at the Dells Theatre.  The film will be shown in 3-D and 2-D at alternate showtimes.  110 minutes.  It’s rated G for All Ages!

Elaine (Leum) Ivers

Elaine (Leum) Ivers 81, died in peace, Friday, June 14, 2013 at the Arlington Golden Living Care Center. Her parting celebration is scheduled for Tuesday, June 18 at 10:30 am at her church, Trinity Lutheran, on south main street in Arlington. Burial will follow at the Arlington Cemetery, where her resting place awaits next to her husband, Dick, who passed away 10 years prior. Those who wish to observe visitation are welcome at the Johnson-Henry Funeral Home, Monday evening, June 17th 5:30-7:00 pm. All are welcome in presence or prayer. Condolences may be sent through www.johnsonhenryfh.com

Elaine was born on Feb 10, 1932, at a time where childhood seemed uncomplicated and yet everyone shared a common adversity in history in the “dirty 30’s”. The youngest of 5 children, Elaine grew up in Dell Rapids, SD, and lived accepting the lifestyle dealt to so many families in the 30’s. In spite all this, her acceptance of hardships built character and endearment.

She was confirmed and graduated high school in Dell Rapids and began her post high school years commuting to Sioux Falls where she worked for the Public Finance Company. Elaine met and married Dick Ivers soon after high school (1952) and the military carried them to California where they found an idyllic place to live in a vineyard residence outside Fallbrook, CA. Elaine and Dick started their family in California (Pam). Two more children (Terry and Brian) were born after moving back to Dell Rapids (1954-1959). They completed their family after moving to Arlington (Randy and Julie). From 1959 through the present, Elaine and her family lived in the same northwest Arlington home. Only in the last month did she reside at the Golden Living Care Center. Elaine’s husband, Dick, had passed away in December of 2003.

Survivors include her five children, Pam Lindell (Dan) of Rapid City, SD, Terry Ivers of Rapid City, Brian Ivers (Sue) of Minneapolis, MN, Randy Ivers of Washburn, ND, (has resided as caregiver for Elaine since Dick’s passing in 2003), Julie Monahan (Dave) of Wilmington, NC. Grandchildren include Jennifer, Josh, Michelle (Pam & Dan); Cassie (Terry); Sarah, Nick, Joey, Anna (Brian & Sue), Iris and Elsa (Julie & Dave). All of Elaine’s siblings and Dick’s siblings preceded her in her eternal journey.

Dell Rapids Post 65 Comes up Short in Last Three Games

The Dell Rapids Legion Post 65 team ran into some tough competition in their last three games.  Dell Rapids dropped a double-header to Madison on Wednesday, June 12th, by scores of 1-0 and 5-4.

In the first game, Dell Rapids was only able to pick up one hit by Austin Kubly.  They had runners in scoring position only three times the entire game as Jacob Giles of Madison was able to hold Dell Rapids in check.  Zane Schumacher pitched an equally impressive game only giving up one run in the 4th inning as he worked all seven innings.

In the second game of the night, Dell Rapids had eight hits by eight different players.  Post 65 tied the game in the top of the 7th at 4-4, but Madison scored in the bottom of the inning to win 5-4. Cody Nielsen threw five innings and Wes Hansen threw the 6th and finished in the 7th.

“We did not play defensive sound baseball.  Our bats cooled off a bit, and we need to do the small things better and we will be okay,” said head coach Ryan Robb.

Dell Rapids traveled to Canton the next night on Thursday, June 13th, but lost another one-run ball game 5-4.  Post 65 again had eight hits as a team.  Tanner Solberg had two of the eight hits.  Derrick Vortherms started on the hill for Dell Rapids and threw four good innings allowing only two runs.  Solberg pitched the next four innings only allowing one run.  Matt Kolbeck came in to finish in the 9th and allowed two runs.

“We have lost three 1-run ballgames in the last week and while we do not like to lose games, I think our guys will learn from our mistakes, and we will be better because of these close games,” said Robb.

Post 65 will travel to Humboldt on Monday, June 17th, play host to Vermillion on Wednesday, June 19th, and will host Salem/Canova on Friday, June 21st.  Friday’s game will be webcast on Big Sioux Media starting at 4:45 p.m.
