Dollop of Sour Cream
By Isabelle Robles

While in Arizona, grandma tries to teach me
how to master making tortillas.
Every one I make is awkward and confused,
stuck between shapes,
and overdone in all the wrong places.
“It’s okay mija,” she says.
“You’re not used to this.”

During roll call in Iowa the substitute’s
furrowed brow
wide eyes on my last name.
Thank god middle names aren’t required.
Natividad doesn’t really
roll off a rigid tongue.

I’m chorizo with a dollop of sour cream.

While dad perfectly draws out his r’s on “cerdo” and
laughs with the butcher
there I stand,
arms intertwined behind my back,
trying to catch words from their
rapid, joyful conversation
I can’t understand.rows,

During Spanish class a girl and my teacher laugh.
“Oh, it’s a Mexican thing,” the girl says.
“You wouldn’t get it.”
Does she not know in Arizona I’m surrounded by a
mob of Robleses and I’m the
only one that’s
not a “Mexican thing?”

I’m chorizo with a dollop of sour cream.

What the girl doesn’t know is that
I am as Mexican as her,
even with my blonde hair, green eyes and fair skin.
Bet you a hundred pesos my dad and I
could whip up a mean pozole
that could rival hers any day
and win.

What no one knows is that green chiles taste delicious in
scrambled eggs with a pack of
warm tortillas on the side,
and there’s
nothing wrong
with a little bit of
sour cream in your chorizo.

Because I am chorizo with a dollop of sour cream.

    Recently a number of unlocked vehicles in the city have been entered with loose change and some electronic devices being stolen. While it is unsettling to have crime in your neighborhood, all of the vehicles were unlocked and no theft involved forced entry. Keeping your vehicles locked is a simple preventative measure.
    
    As always, keep a watchful eye for suspicious persons and call the non-emergency dispatch number 319-356-6800 or 911 to report a possible crime in progress.

At the University of Iowa, Phyllis served as a lecturer, supervisor of student teachers, teacher and consultant until her retirement in 1990. In Iowa City, Phyllis met and married Dr. Janusz Bardach in 1981.

• Important Message to MidAmerican Energy customers. (received 6/8/15)
  More than 25 customers in the Iowa City area reported receiving a fraudulent call from someone pretending to be a MidAmerican Energy Company representative today. Of the calls reported, the majority were small businesses such as salons, child care centers, dental offices, book stores and property management companies.
  The scammers appear to be moving across the state. This week more than 250 scam calls have been reported by MidAmerican Energy customers.
  In general, the scammers are trying to get money from customers by threatening service disconnection and demanding immediate payment via credit card or a prepaid debit card (often a Green Dot card).
  If customers receive a call like this, they should hang up and call MidAmerican Energy right away at
  1-888-427-5632 FREE to verify the call’s origins.
  MidAmerican Energy is asking the City to get this word out and to post this on websites within the City.

  •  Para. 7(d) – the word “ten” in the last line has been deleted and replaced with “five (5)”.  That fixes a typo.
  •  Para 3(r)
    • If the City acquires a commercial condo unit in OUP, the green-space area adjacent to the City-owned unit will be a limited common element, which means the City will control its usage, establish rules and hours, etc.

Stacey Cyphert, U-Heights Resident

Stacey Todd Cyphert, 56, died peacefully Saturday, March 28, 2015, at University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics in the company of his loving wife. Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10 a.m. Wednesday, April 1, at St. Patrick's Catholic Church, 4330 St. Patrick Dr., Iowa City, with the Very Rev. Rudolph Juarez officiating. Visitation will be Tuesday from 5 to 7 p.m. at St. Patrick's Catholic Church. Family committal services will be at Clarendon Hills Cemetery in Darien, Ill. Arrangements are with Lensing Funeral & Cremation Service.

Stacey was born March 14, 1959, in Torrance, Calif., the son of Frederick Ralph (Ted) and Lois (Grosz) Cyphert. The family moved to Worthington, Ohio, where Stacey spent his youth, except for a six-year intermission in Charlottesville, Va. After graduating from Worthington High School in 1977, Stacey went on to earn his Bachelor of Science degree (1981) and Master of Health Administration (1983) from Ohio State University.

Following completion of a fellowship at Duke University Medical Center (1983-1984) and working at the University of Cincinnati Hospital (1984-1986), Stacey enrolled at the University of Iowa and earned a doctorate in health management and policy in 1990. While a graduate student there he met the love of his life, Rosemary Wilmoth. They were married July 25, 1992, in Peoria, Ill.

The majority of Stacey's career was spent at the University of Iowa, where he held various positions, the last being assistant vice president for health policy. There he benefited from several helpful mentors and was fortunate to work with colleagues he greatly respected.

Stacey also was honored in his career to have the opportunity to serve in leadership positions at the local, state and national levels, including chair of the Iowa City Area Chamber of Commerce, chair of the State of Iowa's Medical Assistance Advisory Council, as a deputy on the Iowa Business Council, and as chair of the Association of American Medical Colleges government relations.

Travel, which Stacey greatly enjoyed, was part of his job, but also something that he and Rosemary enjoyed doing. As a result, he was blessed to have developed many friendships across the country.

Stacey was an avid tennis player growing up. He also enjoyed playing league volleyball for many years. In addition, Stacey satisfied his quest for adventure through caving and his creative side through photography.

Although the results did not provide what Stacey hoped for, he was grateful to have had the opportunity to participate in a clinical trial and provide feedback that, combined with other participants, may someday lead to a cure for additional types of cancer.

Stacey would like to extend a special thanks to Jean Robillard, John Colloton, Samuel Levey and Ken Kates for their mentorship and friendship over the years. A special thanks to Father Rudolph Juarez for his friendship and spiritual guidance.

The Cyphert family is appreciative of the compassion and care provided by the faculty and staff of the University of Iowa Clifton Digestive Disease Center, the Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center, University Hospitals Palliative Care, Iowa City Hospice and St. Patrick's Church.

In lieu of flowers, the family wishes memorial donations be directed to these organizations.

Survivors include his loving wife, Rosemary; his mother, Lois Cyphert; his sister, Holly (Jon) Thornsbury and their children, Caleb and Rebekah; aunt, Audrey Farah; uncle, Floyd (Jean) Grosz; sisters-in-law, Marie (Steve) Wolff and Patricia Wilmoth (Brian Bong); brother-in-law, Kevin (Mary) Wilmoth and their children, Cassidy and Connor; and his beloved schnauzers, Magic and Zorro.

Stacey was preceded in death by his father; and his grandparents, Ralph and Bessanna (Nail) Cyphert and Henry Floyd and Jane (Iseman) Grosz.

Online condolences may be sent to the family at www.lensingfuneral.com.
