Print and virtual Readers We learn to roll with the coronavirus punches

The Washington Post recently reported that “the coronavirus is devastating the news industry,” yet the need for newspapers has never been greater, which is why they are numbered among the few essential services that continue operating while so many other businesses are shuttered.

With the sudden drop in advertising revenue, newspapers around the world have turned to their individual communities to support them during this difficult time. The Reader has been happy to see that we have loyal supporters out there who are willing to help us continue with the mission to provide the best newspaper money can’t buy.

We have had to examine the business and adjust, which meant going from the Reader Weekly to the Reader Biweekly.

And we know you’ve noticed. We’ve fielded scores of calls asking whether we are still in business or where someone might be able to find a print edition, since the virus also affected where we are able

DuluthReader.com

to distribute our free newspaper.

We want to continue to be relevant to the community we serve, but it is hard to do so with a severely reduced print schedule. So we racked our brains and came up with the idea of a digital-only edition on the weeks we do not print hard copies of The Reader.

The first digital edition makes its debut next week. We’ll be using a digital format that allows you to flip the pages like a real newspaper. We’ve posted the previous edition on the website, DuluthReader.com, just to give an example of how this virtual newspaper would look. We think it looks pretty amazing.

But that does not diminish the fact that we are print media, and we will continue to be that. If you would like to help us continue to print The Reader through this global health crisis, you can easily do so online through the aforementioned website, or you can keep the U.S. Postal Service busy by mailing a donation to PO Box 16122, Duluth, MN 55816.

• In this time of social distancing, staying connected matters now more than ever. If you aren’t doing so already, follow us on social media. Share our stories. We invite you to join the Reader Revolution by buying an honorary subscription, or supporting our work with a onetime or recurring donation. We expect audience support to become essential for independent local media companies, the way it has for public broadcasting. You can choose to support us with however much or little you like – anything helps.

If you have questions, contact us at info@ duluthreader.com.

• And don’t forget to think of and support our advertisers. Where you can, buy gift certificates for the brighter days that are surely ahead for all of us.

We appreciate your support. Let’s get through this thing together.

in box Journalists can’t see the forest (for its trees) Below (at the link) is an article about the role that journalists play in our world, which deals with something real and unfortunate – (that the force of propaganda can be used by a corrupt President to threaten the very nature of democracy). Nobody is playing a game here except those who are trying to hide the outrageous damage that’s already been done by a President who, (like a spoiled brat), thinks that he should be able to do any corrupt thing he wants, (without consequences). So, there’s no “both sides are to blame” argument here. It’s President Trump who has clearly violated his legal authority as set forth in the Constitution— (at his own Behest)! propagandaprofessor.net/2020/02/09/isneutral-journalism-really-neutral/ “… Imagine you are a journalist. A real journalist – not a hack for Fox ‘News’ or OANN or Breitbart, but someone who actually has an interest in keeping the public reasonably informed. Say you’re writing a story about a particular development and you want to, or feel obliged to, report what several public figures say about it – even if at least one of these public figures is blatantly lying?”

“Now here’s the question: do you identify the blatant lies as lies, or do you simply report faithfully what everyone said and hope (naively, one must say) that the public can sort it all out?

Does your journalistic commitment to impartiality require you to avoid factchecking? (or does your journalistic commitment to truth require you to fact-check)?” (my words) So, please quit ignoring the writing on the wall and read the entire article above. It’s easy to understand, that concealing the false in the name of obligatory and “balanced” news reporting, doesn’t truly enable the public to hear the facts, even when the facts are clearly known!

Peter W. Johnson Superior, Wisconsin My thoughts about Asian Culture My family moved to Lake County in 1985. My Dad, Rodger was the Assistant Pastor at the Presbyterian Methodist Church in Two Harbors. After Mark Lake, the head Pastor, and his family

moved to Colorado Rodger became the head Pastor. I was in 2nd Grade in 1985 when we moved to Northern Minnesota from Indiana.

There was a Chinese boy who was adopted and rode our school bus; his name was Lee, which is a common American name whether you’re Asian or not! Because of his cultural difference he got teased.

Not all small towns have ignorant people in them, but sometimes it can be tough to live in them if you look different, like Lee, who was one of the few minorities who lived in Two Harbors in the mid-1980s.

We moved to Duluth in 1989. I was in 6th Grade then. In my homeroom was a girl named Mary, who is Vietnamese.

Her parent’s were teachers – her Mom Patty was a painter who taught at St. Scholastica. Her Dad, Bob Kosuth, is a Vietnam veteran and he taught Chinese Studies at UWS. I shelved books at the Duluth Public Library when I was in high school.

In the mid 1990s Patty Kosuth had a painting on the mid-section of the stairs to the 2nd Floor. Mary Kosuth is now a scientist. There was an article in Duluth News Tribune about a study she did on small plastic particles showing up in the Great Lakes in the. Not only were they in the water of our Great Lakes but also in some of our craft beer that has used Great Lake water.

It is sad to hear about discrimination pitched toward Asians. Just because the Coronavirus originated in China shouldn’t mean anybody should treat Asian-Americans different. They’ve contributed to America in profound ways.

Like Painter Patty and Scientist Mary Kosuth.

Andy Cragun Duluth, Minnesota So much suffering The corona virus has hurt many people here in the United States. I feel for people here. So much suffering.

The world is also suffering and quite often it’s the poor who are the ones living on the edge not knowing where their next meal will come from. War and economic embargoes are exasperating the situation in many countries and much of that is a result of U.S. foreign policy.

It is time for us to insist that the U.S. government cease their brutality around the world. The U.S. is at war militarily or economically, which is devastating to many. The strategy of the U.S. as it tries to change a country’s govern-

ment is to make life miserable for the people so that they will turn against their governments making violent coups more likely in some cases. (Chile-1973, Honduras-2006, and Bolivia recently are examples of ousting governments that were trying to help their poor.)

Venezuela is a prime example. Although the government there has helped poor and middle class people in health care, education, housing, and other social programs and the people have voted for President Maduro and are supporting it, the U.S. continues to try to destroy it. Same is true in Cuba and Nicaragua. In Yemen the U.S. supplies bombs that Saudi Arabia uses to kill and blockade them. They are suffering from a terrible cholera epidemic. Iran is also suffering under the embargo that the US has forced on them. The Palestinians are suffering and are prisoners of Israel.

Think of poor Gaza!

Now with this additional pandemic that everyone is experiencing, all the people of the countries I mentioned are really hurting and it is us the taxpayer that fund what the U.S. is doing. We must force Washington to do what is right and stop the crimes against all of these people. None of those governments are our enemies. None of them are threats to the U.S. or to any of us.

We must stop making life miserable for people around the world; we must stop the killing. America is not helping to stop the spread of the corona virus – it is making it worse.

We need to reign in the horrible things that the U.S. does to the people of the world. How arrogant and criminal and shameful.

Steve Johnson Ely, Minnesota Science crucial to defeating virus The U.S. and entire globe are currently, rightfully, focused on the ongoing novel corona virus pandemic. The magnitude of virus-related illness, death and uncertainty has shocked our personal, societal and economic way of life in a manner not experienced by most people living today. This pandemic has also vividly exposed the shortcomings and fragility of our health care systems and overall national infrastructure. Of particular importance is the ability of our government institutions to plan for and competently respond to such threats. We also need public confidence in our government’s expertise. An item of good news is the overall public

DuluthReader.com

acceptance and compliance with the difficult science-based measures needed to blunt the spread of the virus. This is a major factor, because faith in experts, particularly scientific expertise, has been declining in the U.S. for decades. Continuing a sciencebased approach is critical if we stand a chance of creating a thriving nation for the future. Whether in defeating this virus or addressing a host of other threats, excellent science, advanced and implemented by competent governance, is crucial to our success.

John Lindell Bayfield, Wisconsin Science crucial to defeating virus Recently a small group of people, many of whom support Donald Trump, have begun defying stay at home orders and social distancing. They are protesting in tightly packed groups in public areas at state capitols. But, medical experts are telling us that relaxing public safety measures now will result in more outbreaks of Covid-19, will overwhelm the health care system, and many more people may die.

In normal times people have every right to protest what they don’t like in our society pretty much however they wish. But just as no person has a right to yell, “FIRE!” in a crowded theater when there is no fire, people do not have the right to ignore public safety measures while protesting during a pandemic. If protesters were the only ones likely to be infected by COVID-19, that would be tragic, but when protesters risk infecting innocent people, it is criminal.

Some Republican members of Congress and state legislatures, including some members of the Wisconsin Legislature are also advocating these protests. These legislators are working to undermine stay-at-home orders that are in place to protect the lives of Americans.

Fortunately, it is an election year and many of these representatives must stand for re-election.

We recommend participating in a different type of protest – by voting. In Northern Wisconsin there is a special election on May 12. There is a primary election scheduled in August. The election for President, Congress and the Wisconsin State Legislature is on November 3. Let’s elect responsible leaders that choose the lives of people in the United States over their own self- interest. The situation we are living through now shows that our lives may

well depend upon our votes. Start your protest now! Request your absentee ballot for the upcoming elections by contacting your municipal clerk or by going to https://myvote.wi.gov Cindy Dillenschneider & Jason Maloney Washburn, Wisconsin

New president elected by Superior City Council meetings debating and voting multiple times. Mayor Paine was unable to make a tie-breaking vote because, with one councilor abstaining, the election was not a perfect tie.

This went on from April until June 18, when City Attorney Frog Perell concluded the councilors could use a deck of cards to decide who would become the new council president.

Fennessey drew a 4. Mayor Paine drew a card on Ludwig’s behalf because she was against the decision to draw cards at all. He drew a 2.

Here’s How: Parquet hardwood

floors are easy to install Dear James: We like hardwood parquet floors, but it is expensive to have them installed. Are do-it-yourself parquet flooring “kits” easy to install for inexperienced DIYers? — Chris H. Dear Chris: The two primary types of hardwood flooring are traditional long strips and parquet. If you are an inexperienced do-it-yourselfer without a power saw, installing strip hardwood flooring would be difficult but not impossible. Each piece must be nailed or

8 April 23, 2020 DuluthReader.com

glued separately, and your errors will be very noticeable.

Parquet flooring is available in many patterns and wood types such as maple, walnut, ash and oak. The small 1-by1-foot squares offer the flexibility of varying the floor design throughout a room. The identical flooring pieces can create rooms that look completely different.

Although not technically a “kit,”

adding hardwood parquet flooring is truly a simple project for even the inexperienced do-it-yourselfer. With the crisscross pattern of parquet flooring, minor misalignment of a few square tiles is not particularly noticeable.

Since labor costs are significant when installing flooring, the savings can be substantial.

subfloor and can be purchased with selfadhesive backing.

For most subfloors, you will be better off installing tiles with a tongue-andgroove edge. If there is any unevenness in the subflooring, the tongueand-groove edge locks them together so the edge joints stay even. Also, if a tile comes loose from the by adhesive, the adjacent ones hold it down.

HERE’S HOW

Thicknesses of parquet tiles generally range from 5/16 to 3/4 inch. A thicker tile costs more, but it holds up better. More thickness also allows for more refinishing sanding throughout the life of the floor. The only drawback is a thicker parquet tile raises the floor level more so you must cut more off any door bottoms for clearance.

JAMES DULLEY

Most hardwood parquet floor tiles are available as either tongue-and-groove or butt edges. You will also have to select between unfinished or prefinished tiles.

The simplest to install are prefinished tiles with smooth butt edges. These are best on a very flat floor and stable

Preparing the surface of the subflooring is key to a professional-looking floor.

Take some time initially to remove all the furniture from the room instead of just tying to move it around as you work. Remove the baseboards and shoe moldings. Mark the location of each one, or you will surely forget when it is time to reinstall them.

The parquet tiles can be installed over almost any subflooring that is stable. Using a sander, remove any high points on the existing floor. If you are installing it over existing tiles or other

floor that has been waxed, be sure to strip off all the old wax so the adhesive sticks well.

Start laying parquet tiles in the center of the room, not the edge. Find the true center of the room by driving nails into the floor at the center point along all four walls. Stretch chalk lines across the nails on opposite walls, and snap chalk lines on the floor.

Check to make sure the lines are perpendicular.

Tongue-and-groove tiles fit together only one way, so you don’t have to worry about getting some backward.

Spread adhesive on the floor just up to the chalk line, and lay the first row of tiles. Place six tiles at a time and then tap them into the adhesive bed with a rubber mallet.

Earth Day turns 50 And some people still don’t get it

By Jim Lundstrom When arch-conservative groups such as the Appleton, Wis.-headquartered John Birch Society dismissed the first Earth Day on April 22, 1970, as a communist plot because it fell on the 100th anniversary of the birth of Soviet revolutionary leader Vladimir Lenin, Earth Day founder Wisconsin Sen. Gaylord Nelson had a great rebuttal.

He pointed out that millions share birthdays every day. In fact, he said, Lenin also shared his birthday with St. Francis of Assisi, Queen Isabella and, “most importantly, my Aunt Tillie.”

Hard to believe for anyone who was there at the first Earth Day, but April 22, 2020, marks the 50th anniversary of the day designated to think about the planet that bears us.

Gaylord Nelson’s dedicated effort to turn our collective attention to the environment is a legacy in good hands with his daughter, Tia Nelson, who was just a few months short of her 14th birthday on the first Earth Day. “Earth Day was successful beyond my father’s wildest dreams,” Nelson said in a recent telephone interview.

“Twenty million people gathered that day. It launched the environmental decade, in which more environmental laws were passed than any other time in history. A Republican president created the Environmental Protection Agency. The Clean Air Act was passed.

The Clean Water Act was passed. The first green generation was born.”

Nelson is managing director for climate issues with an organization called Outrider that has two missions - Ending the threat of nuclear war and reversing the course of global climate change. She also spent 17

Students march on the first Earth Day in 1970. Photo: NYC Municipal Archives years as a policy adviser for The Nature Conservancy, and then first director of the Global Climate Change Initiative.

She returned home to Wisconsin in 2004 to serve as executive secretary to the Wisconsin Board of Commissioners of Public Lands and co-chaired Wisconsin’s Task Force on Global Warming.

Nelson left the state position for her current work with Outrider in 2015, short months after a gag order was imposed on her and the board staff, banning them from talking about climate change issues. The board is made up of the three state constitutional officers, which at the time was made up of two Republicans State Treasurer Matt Adamczyk, Attorney General Brad Schimel and Democratic Secretary of State Doug LaFollette. Adamczyk, who was voted out of office in 2018, said at the time

10 April 23, 2020 DuluthReader.com

of the gag order that climate change and its source is still debatable.

The gag order for the board staff was just lifted last year, after the two Republicans lost their jobs and were replaced by Democrats.

That dismissive attitude to science would have upset her father, Nelson said, adding that if he were still here (he died July 3, 2005), “he would be most concerned about the politicization of science,” she said. “To make sound public policy we need sound science and strong leaders. I think that would concern him.”

But, she adds, “This is a journey, not a destination. As long as humankind is seeking a fine balance in sustainability on a finite planet we will have to rise to the rise to the challenge. And it will take a long and enduring effort to maintain a sustainable future.”

Recognizing that this is her leg of the

Tia and her father, Sen. Gaylord Nelson, in 1968. Before being elected to the U.S. Senate in 1963, Nelson served two terms as Wisconsin’s governor, only the second Democrat to hold the job in the 20th century and the first from northern Wisconsin.

Honor Earth Week through the Great Global Clean-up The 50th anniversary of Earth day is April 22. It marks an awareness of the growing threats to the livability of our planet, and what future world our children and grandchildren will inherit. The first Earth Day in 1970 brought 20 million Americans out to rallies, motivating Congress and President Nixon to create the EPA and pass the Clean Water and Clean Air Acts –- all of which are currently under threat of regulatory roll-backs.

In the spirit of empowering us all to make a positive difference where we can, we’re proposing that we convert Earth Day to Earth Week.

From April 19 through the 26th, we are asking our fellow citizens to choose a time for participating in Duluth’s

Tia Nelson

version of the Great Global CleanUp. Choose either your neighborhood or one of the favorite sites you cherish in and around Duluth for a socially distant and responsible walk and trash pick-up. Wear green and/or blue to celebrate the coming of Spring and the waters of Lake Superior. Then register your actions at cleanup.earthday. org. By extending this commemoration over a week, we should be able to spread out participation to make social distancing more easily achievable.

Let’s honor our small piece of the planet and give ourselves some extra relief from being so hunkered down indoors.

We hope to see you (from a distance) during Earth Week!

“Earth Day was successful beyond my father’s wildest dreams....It launched the environmental decade, in which more environmental laws were passed than any other time in history.”

Tia Nelson, daughter of Earth Day founder Gaylord Nelson journey, Nelson is unveiling a film this Earth Day – When the Earth Moves – that pays tribute to her father as the founder, but also gives hope that others are going to continue this journey.

Superior plants pride in the community The City of Superior beautifies the community, adds pollinator habitat, and protect shorelines by planting native trees and shrubs along Osaugie Trail thanks to a grant from CN-EcoConnexions From the Ground Up and technical assistance from America In Bloom.

The City of Superior is pleased to announce it was awarded a grant from CN-EcoConnexions From the Ground Up program to plant trees and shrubs in key locations to beautify the community, increase bird and pollinator habitat, and protect shoreline areas.

On Monday April 20, city crews prepped sites along the Osaugie Trail between Barker’s Island and 18th Ave. East for the planting of 250 trees and shrubs.

Species selected for this area have been vetted by a committee of city, county, and UW-Extension staff for durability in our climate, soils and, in this location close to Hwy. 2/53, the ability to tolerate salt.

“These trees and shrubs will provide more cover, shade and wind block for trail users on what has been a very exposed section of the Osaugie Trail. The specific species were selected to provide habitat for birds and pollinators.

And, as is common with native species selected for these sites, the root systems of these plants will help stabilize soils in the area while increasing the rate of rain and snowmelt infiltration into

the soil which will help limit localized flooding.” said Water Resource Program Coordinator, Andrea Crouse.

Species include Hackberry, Sugar maple, Pussy Willow, Blackhaw Viburnum, Ninebark, Black Chokeberry, Low-Gro Fragrant Sumac, Smooth Rose, Red-osier Dogwood and Elderberry.

Some lilac will also be planted along the trail to add early season blooms and fragrant flowers for trail users to enjoy.

Grant funds also allowed the purchase of additional trees, including Tamarak and Black Spruce which will be planted on Barker’s Island where invasive Buckthorn was removed as part of the Inner Beach Restoration Project.

Seventy trees, including Paper Birch, Choke Cherry, Red Pine, and White Spruce, were planted on Wisconsin Point in the summer of 2019 as part of the Dune Restoration Project thanks to the grant funds and technical assistance from America In Bloom.

What had originally been scheduled as a volunteer planting event has been modified due to Stay-At-Home orders in Wisconsin, with City of Superior staff handling the plantings.

The city hopes to host a volunteer event later in the summer to showcase and do any necessary maintenance of the new plantings.

Dem turnout surged in Supreme Court race Judge Jill Karofsky won double-digit victory over Justice Kelly Democrats tried to stop Wisconsin’s April election, but when they couldn’t, their voters had the last word.

While the election for Supreme Court justice was officially nonpartisan, Democrats turned out far and wide for Dane County Judge Jill Karofsky, giving her a lopsided 55-45 percent victory over conservative Justice Daniel Kelly in the race for the Wisconsin Supreme Court.

“Geographically, almost everything that could have gone right for the Democrats basically did,” said J. Miles Coleman, associate editor for Sabato’s Crystal Ball at the University of Virginia Center for Politics.

Amid the continuing coronavirus pandemic, Wisconsin had never experienced an election quite like this one, where voters and poll workers wore face masks and gloves to handle ballots, and a decrease in polling places led voters to stand in line for hours in Milwaukee and Green Bay. Despite all that, voter turnout hit 34.3 percent, according to the Wisconsin Elections Commission, making it among the highest turnout state Supreme Court races ever. Only 2016 was higher, when both Democrats and Republicans turned out to vote in competitive presidential primaries. This year’s turnout percentage also matched the 2011 Wisconsin Supreme Court race, which was viewed as a referendum on former Republican Gov. Scott Walker just a month after he signed his landmark Act 10 law restricting the power of public-sector unions.

Democrats had long hoped this year’s presidential primary would give Karofsky a boost, but that seemed unclear after most presidential candidates left the race, former Vice President Joe Biden emerged as the party’s frontrunner and COVID-19 put a stop to traditional campaigning.

U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont suspended his campaign April 8, the day after in-person voting concluded in Wisconsin.

Barry Burden, University of Wisconsin-Madison political science professor, said that likely gave some Democrats more of an incentive to vote even if the race was all but decided.

“It may have been why Bernie

Dane County Judge Jill Karofsky won a lopsided victory against conservative Supreme Court Justice Daniel Kelly.

Sanders decided to stay in the race through Wisconsin,” Burden said. “His supporters tend to be enthusiastic and very passionate — attached to him personally. And they may have come out just as a show of their support for him and his platform and that trickled down to help Karofsky in the Supreme Court race.”

According to unofficial results released April 13, almost 68,000 more people voted in the Democratic presidential primary than voted for Kaforsky.

Sanders came in a distant second to Biden, but he still received about 293,652 votes.

What seems clear is that most voters cast their ballots before Tuesday, heeding the government warnings against large crowds and voting by mail instead.

While the total number of absentee ballots cast isn’t yet known, nearly 1.1 million ballots were returned as of April 13, the deadline set by a federal judge for when ballots must be received by clerks.

Burden said absentee voting was “completely off the charts” in this election.

“Absentee voting is a new process for a lot of Wisconsinites,” Burden said.

“This is a state that has relied mostly on face-to-face voting at traditional neighborhood polling places. That got turned upside down in this April election.”

Both political parties took advantage of this. Milwaukee and Dane County

— both Democratic strongholds — led the way, but the Republican-friendly Waukesha County was right behind them.

But Karofsky cut into Kelly’s numbers in Waukesha, Washington and Ozaukee counties compared to the 2019 Supreme Court race that sent conservative Justice Brian Hagedorn to the bench. She also won Brown, Outagamie and Winnebago counties in east-central Wisconsin. All three were won by Hagedorn in 2019, Walker in 2018 and President Donald Trump in 2016.

Coleman said when the state Supreme Court results are broken down by congressional district, they strongly resemble Wisconsin’s Democratic U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin’s double-digit victory in 2018.

Coleman said it was noteworthy that Wisconsin’s 3rd Congressional District, held by U.S. Rep. Ron Kind, D-La Crosse, went overwhelmingly to Karofsky after being carried by Trump in 2016. He said other statewide races since 2016 had followed the same pattern.

“Karofsky would have carried the Kind

district by about 15 points, so that’s a pretty substantial change,” Coleman said. “Trump’s win in the 3rd District is looking more like the exception than the rule.”

Coleman cautioned against reading Karofsky’s win as an indicator of how November’s election would turn out, saying judicial races in Wisconsin “tend to be pretty volatile.”

Burden urged similar caution.

“I think it’s difficult to draw much of a line between what happened in this race and what we’ll see in November other than there’s a lot of voter interest,” Burden said. “For a millionand-a-half people to participate in the midst of a pandemic is impressive.”

conservative talking points (cutting deficits, promoting jobs). Some are simply throwing red meat to the rabid base. They are intended to fire up the racist, xenophobic, gun nuts. Tom is obviously running on Trump’s coat tails. Several sound OK (health care, free trade, energy independence) until you read between the lines for what he is actually advocating. The issue of delisting wolves is simply ridiculous.

Tom claims a wolf population of 1,000 (in 5.6 million humans statewide) is hurting tourism and property values. There is NO evidence for these statements. Tom apparently believes in fairy tales. One issue (protecting the unborn) is very clear. Tom does not think women should control their own bodies or reproductive choices.

These “issues” do reflect Tom’s ideological rigidity, limited knowledge, and lack of substance. If elected he will be a compliant, rubber stamp for big money and corporate interests. Taking a closer look at several issues will further illustrate this statement and the contrast with Tricia Zunker.

Lack of health insurance and the extreme costs of health care are major issues. The current pandemic illustrates the failure of our expensive, fragmented, for profit, health insurance system. Tricia says “No one should die because they can’t afford to go to the doctor.“ No one should go bankrupt paying medical debts and everyone should have access to affordable healthcare. She supports a voluntary “Medicare for All” as an addition to the Affordable Care Act options. This may

not be the best solution but at least she is talking about possible solutions.

Tom rants about universal health insurance being “socialism.” He believes free markets and competition will solve the problems. This ideological belief is not supported by reality. For many decades competition has FAILED to lower costs of health care. We have the most expensive, and least successful, healthcare system in the world, because free market healthcare is about profit and NOT controlling costs. Tom is simply wrong on this issue. He appears to be stuck in his ideological beliefs and unable or unwilling to look at real solutions.

Support for public education is another significant issue. Tricia supports well funded public schools.

She says, “Higher education must be made accessible and affordable. We need to begin to tackle the growing student debt crisis.” She believes local community colleges and trade schools are essential for people and the economy. She believes educators deserve respect and should be valued for the important work they do.

Tiffany doesn’t support local public schools and his voting record as a Wisconsin legislator prove it. He has repeated voted for school voucher programs that weaken public schools and DO NOT provide better education for students. He voted to expand school vouchers statewide which provides tax dollars for private, mostly religious, schools. He supported Scott Walker’s $4 billion cuts to public school funding.

There is a bumper sticker that says, “Voting is like driving: ‘D’ is for going forward and ‘R’ is for going backward. ” If you are concerned about health, protecting the environment, public schools, women’s rights, decent wages, and improving the economy for everyone and not just the top 1%, you need to vote for Tricia Zunker.

We need a representative who cares about people, isn’t blinded by political ideology, and has the ability to look for real solutions to our problems. Tricia Zunker is clearly the better choice to represent us.

What to and who to?

What to do when the villain is unknown and unseen? I’m reminded of Blake’s invisible worm that flies in the night with its dark secret love that my life destroys. (“Sick Rose,” a decent poem; I wonder do students still read Blake or has education progressed to something else?

Who to blame for the unforeseen is easier and more in keeping with human traits.

Because it surely was not by our fault we assign blame to others. What a relief! My mother had an ever faithful tactic to explain things going awry: “I blame the parents.”

I winced every time she said it, as you likely do as well, and rightly so. Blaming parents is judgmental and old fashioned, painfully so. Our reasoning selves know better than judge one based on another.

This doesn’t mean we will be reasoning as much as it means we’ll spot (a more selfsatisfying habit) the failing in others. I do so by getting irked at many come-late-to-theparty who now know it all.

Can you name the political, cultural, entertainment, social, etc. leaders who took an epic stand on pandemic preparation? We had ample tax and tuition proposals, multiple strategies for securing and opening borders, many plans for making wealth and creating income justice. Exactly who on any level said let’s store a surplus of viral protective gear and tools for infection treatment? Does the name of any leader come to mind?

I think of none. This is understandable, however, as we were occupied with gender pronouns and unconscious racism in shampoo. We were busy with those important matters and perhaps should be happy virus doesn’t select by color or ethnicity. Corona is bias free, hooray! Justice at last! To be fair, from time to time a voice (Bill Gates among them) raised pandemic concerns. They were ignored, and to some extent labeled hostiles to globalist ideals. Why fret over disease when we were all one people in trust, love, and peace? Turns out love, trust, and peace isn’t much strategy for dealing with disease.

Nor was it ever.

Pause with me a moment to consider why our species separated into language, color, and culture groups? Why weren’t we a mono-culture all along? I suspect separation had survival advantages. Within closed company people were relatively safe. They knew this was so on the animal level all beings share as a “sense.” Long before any bacteria or virus was known people knew certain wells were bad. (Tea, beer, and wine substituted for foul water.) They knew ports where visitors arrived from afar were often

the starting places for new plagues. Staying safe was partly a result of keeping within your own group. Mingling outside held risks people recognized on a level simple as basic reproduction. Successful societies understood the worth of fidelity and the danger of promiscuity. Selling one’s body was a short career usually leading to unmentionable ills. The “clean” living were spared that so long, that is, as they stayed within set limits.

Anyone who did not recognize the jet age, speedy global trade and absence of border controls held serious risk was being willfully deluded either for the sake of greed or philosophy.

For the profiteer and the dreamer the result is the same, plus one gets to blame the other as a feel-good culpability escape. When reality comes knocking it bangs the door hard. It does not recognize ideals, status, dreams, bottom lines, or stores of gold. As an “it” virus is gender free and fully adaptable as circumstance permits. Disease can’t be convinced, persuaded, or brought to see reason. It had only to await its opportunity to begin its party in the ballrooms, stadiums, and temples built seemingly to welcome it to our eager arms.

Is there blame to share round? There is if you’re like my mother ready to point an accusing finger at a handy authority figure.

To our better reasoning blaming the parents sounds awful. We dislike the idea of holding one person accountable for the acts of others (though in some groups this is a highly popular and successful strategy). Most of us rightly balk at making you pay for what your brother or other kin did.

Another side, however, to mother’s blame approach was its sign of person who took their own parental responsibility seriously, perhaps too much so. But where precisely is the line between being too serious and too lax a parent? Is the line between leniency and discipline clear cut and is it the same for all individuals in differing circumstances? Much of the time it’s probably not at all definite or clear. People muddle along making their way forward with the complexities of personal and social interactions and responsibilities.

Holding others responsible for things outside our (or possible much of any) control is a human habit of long standing. We attack what’s seen as “outside”. It’s what we do. In that the person who thinks themselves openminded and peaceful is no different than a defender of tribe. Godly and ungodly share a desire to attack things and people they see as contrary to their sphere. I used to think my mother’s blame tactic extreme and rare. Well, it certainly isn’t rare. I recently heard a person

so convinced Trump was at fault they thought the death of a million was a price worth paying if it got rid of the demon Trump. I’m glad of one thing, not having to live with a feeling like that inside me.

Blaming any city, state or national leader is the same authority accountability my mother used pointing the finger at other parents.

Welcome to my mother’s world where parental figures are everywhere to be found.

On a differing tone the total success of North Korea combatting the pandemic must be noted. Elsewhere in the real world viruses don’t recognize politics. It takes only communist socialism to fix that. The decree is out and must be obeyed. No corona in North Korea. Other nations possibly deal with disease by decree as well.

Time will tell.

We have a tax cut plan that was concocted behind doors, without the professional advice of economists, lawyers or accountants and it’s added a trillion a year to the national debt.

Now the coronavirus swoops in and we’ll toss another 2 trillion into the mix, just to save working people and the economy from calamity. Tax cuts in time of plenty! Nothing can stop the booming economy – except maybe an unexpected pandemic.

The false notion that you can simply cut taxes until there’s nothing left and expect to have a functioning civil society of 326 million people is ludicrous. The history of tax reform is one of diminishing results for the people of this country. Take a little wander into the history of our tax system. The tax burden for the wealthy and corporations has been slashed through the years and has left us with the fiscal inequality of a banana republic. The constant lowering of tax rates, primarily for the wealthy and corporations, has left the burden on the shoulders of the working class and future generations, many of whom believe that cutting taxes is a good thing, yes a good thing, when we have faltering infrastructure and educational debt, increasing poverty and the most expensive health care system in the developed world.

I’ll talk, you listen, said old Don Riley!

Will April be cruel?

THE GADFLY by

ED RAYMOND

Etching of the plague in Florence, Italy, 1348, by Luigi Sabatelli.

14th century black plague started something beyond thoughts and prayers I see Donald the Lyin’ King has decided that Easter will not be a good time to fill churches – but maybe April 30 will be. King Donald had talked so much about the virus and April he reminded me of the words of one of my favorite poets T. S. Eliot in his first lines of “The Wasteland,” an epic poem about humankind: “April is the cruelest month, breeding lilacs out of a dead land, mixing memory and desire, stirring roots in spring rain.”

Medical experts tell us they have identified 6,828 viruses so far, including COVID-19. Consequently, viruses and bacteria have plagued Planet Earth for millenniums. At this time we have no idea April will be the cruelest month. I think the current pandemic scientists are figuring on several cruel months.

The 14th Century Black Plague, also called the Bubonic Plague, killed almost half of the population of Europe. It was caused by bacterium Yersinia pestis transmitted from rats to fleas to humans. Fleas could not tell rich from poor, so they bit everybody they could smell. The plague killed rich nobles, knights, bishops and priests, as well

as poor peasants, serfs, tradesmen and harlots. It took more than 200 years to regain the population lost in that pandemic. The fact that the church, religion and God did not protect them shook people to the core, often destroying their faith. The wealthy left behind decided to learn more about life rather than genuflecting and exercising blind obedience to the pope and various other mystics. Leaders invested in independent scholarship. Answers to survival questions were avidly sought outside of prayer and dogma. The Black Plague forced the Renaissance on us, a classical revival of art, literature, music, science and learning.

Are “thoughts and prayers” effective against both firearm and virus pandemics?

I’m writing we have had 217,801 COVID-19 cases with 4,857 deaths in the U.S. so far. The 24-7 news cycle is all about the spread of the deadly virus.

This year we will probably have 100,000 wounded and 40,000 killed by firearm – as we have had for years. In other numbers, we have killed 12,000 with firearms in the same period the current virus has killed 4,857. How many news TV minutes or printed words have been

consumed in the last three months about our firearm pandemic?

I see the National Rifle Association and other gun groups are suing and urging states to declare gun stores as essential businesses – like grocery stores, pharmacies and gas stations. Priorities, priorities.

Among the many plagues in the 16th and 17th Centuries some of the most memorable English literature was written, with the plagues prominently mentioned. Shakespeare wrote several of his 37 plays while being self-isolated from plagues. Romeo and Juliet was one of them.

The bubonic plague hit London in 1665 and killed 100,000 people – onefourth of the population. This disease was very painful because lymph nodes were turned into black “buboes” that literally blew up. Many sufferers committed suicide by jumping into the Thames. Sulfur was burned in the streets to purify the air. Death carts were sent by authorities to collect the dead for a fee. Thieves often broke into homes of the dead and sick to ransack them.

Plagues were always a time of “social dislocation.” In Italy popes fled to country estates while the people originated the idea of isolation because they thought plagues entered the body through the pores of skin.

Pope Francis did not vacate the Vatican on March 27, 2020, as he addressed the world at the Urbi and Orbi prayer in St. Peter’s Square. But it was unusual.

He was the only one there. All Roman Catholic churches in Italy have cancelled masses for the duration of the COVID-19 virus. Pope Francis celebrated Palm Sunday, Holy Thursday, the Easter vigil and Easter Sunday at the central altar in St. Peter’s with no one in the audience.

Thoughts and prayers have not kept Italy from having thousands suffer and die since January of 2020.

Historian Raymond Keene brings up what has happened to religion’s role in discussing modern plagues: “Five hundred years after the Renaissance, at a time when nations and corporations rival the church in their claims to people’s loyalties, the world is experiencing as even more dramatic expansion of knowledge, capitalism and interconnection. Air travel, telephones, radio, television, motion pictures, fax machines, computers and now the Internet combine to weave an increasingly complex web of global information exchange….We’ve landed men on the moon and machines on Mars, unleashed the power of the atom, deciphered the genetic code, and unlocked many of the secrets

of the human brain. These dramatic developments in communication and technology stimulate the energies of capitalism and free society and the erosion of totalitarianism.”

Listening to Jerry Falwell, Jr., Franklin Graham, and James Dobson of Focus on the Family, there is no doubt religious ideology has not kept pace with scientific ideology – and common sense. They think Jesus Christ is a “perfect” predator capitalist instead of a democratic socialist. Many people are replacing holy water with hand sanitizers and bleach.

Has “In God We Trust” become “In God We Divide?”

According to a study by Eastern Illinois University, 55.7% of Americans in 1988 were members of traditional, mainline churches, 36.6% were members of evangelical and born-again denominations, and 7.7% said they were not religious.

By 2018, only 30 years later, traditional denominations (Roman Catholics, Lutherans, etc.) had dropped 20 points to 35.5%, evangelical church membership had grown 4.8 points to 41.4%, and the nonreligious had TRIPLED to 23.1%.

I wonder what these figures would be in 2020 after three years of Donald the Lyin’ King and the Southern white evangelicals grabbing power and substituting white supremacist fascism for Christianity. No wonder new studies indicate more than 40% of young people have taken part in tsunamis emptying church pews.

The evangelicals have picked the irrelevant, irreligious “Chosen One”– King Donald – to lead their white supremacist, pro-gun, anti-abortion, anti-LBGTQ+, America First, Make America Great Again, anti-science, and, yes, their anti-Jesus Christ political platform. They have decided that power is the only way to create a fascist, theocratic government.

The Republican Party, with only two goals, predator capitalism and lowering taxes, has attached itself like a giant parasitic sea lamprey and sucked out the votes of “Christians” who seek eternal power. As early as 2015 Pew Research found that white evangelical Protestants preferred the Republican Party by a margin of 68% to 22%, while nonreligious voters leaned toward the Democrats by 61% to 25%, No wonder communion wine is turning to vinegar.

“In God We Trust” did not become our motto until July 30, 1956, when

President Dwight Eiesenhower signed the bill to counter the idea that Joe Stalin had become the “God” of atheistic Soviet Russia in the middle of our “cold war.” Big deal. More propaganda.

Are we watching the destruction of the christian religion?

I try to have an afternoon martini every day in tribute to my favorite character, W.C. Fields, who drank lots of alcohol because he often said: “Do you know what fish do in water?”

I have admired W.C. because he rose from selling oranges out of a cart on the streets of Philadelphia – to juggling before the queen of England at age 18, to filling out movie contracts with his own salary figures while dominating Hollywood. My favorite story about him involves the drinking of lemonade. He always had a thermos bottle filled with martinis on the movie set that he called his “lemonade.” One day the camera crew dumped his martinis and filled his thermos with lemonade. During a film break W.C. strolled over and took a big sip and exploded; “Who in hell put lemonade in my lemonade?!!” It brought down the set.

W.C. was known in Hollywood as an atheist. A close friend visited him on his death bed in his home. He discovered W.C. in his bed paging through the Bible. The shocked friend said: “Bill, what are you doing? You’re not a believer!” W.C. replied: “I’m just looking for loopholes.”

For 27 years I was a Roman Catholic because I was raised in it. For 60 years I have officially been a Lutheran because Martin Luther had better ideas. At 88 I have read parts of the Bible over the years, sometimes looking for loopholes.

Actually, a few lines in Ecclesiastes have stuck with me: “For that which happens to the sons of men happens to animals.

Even one thing happens to them. As the one dies, so the other dies. Yes, they all have one breath, and man has no advantage over the animals: for all is vanity. All go to one place. All are from the dust, and all turn to dust again.”

science views. The Bible seems to be a collection of gossip about Gods, various myths about a “creation,” Adam and Eve, ancient parables about violence, sex, faith-healing, space travel, poverty and wealth, resurrection, economics, and good advice. That’s why I think Charles Darwin was right in “The Origin of the Species.”

The three animals at the top of the present “chain of being” are humans, chimps and bonobos. We share about 99% of the genes in our genus. The three are similar: Chimp characteristics: patriarchal, ambitious, excitable, and violent. Alpha male leads community. Chimps are territorial and band into aggressive groups to hunt down other chimps often in bloody, brutal and fatal conflict. Lower ranking males form coalitions to attempt to topple Alpha leader. Sex is used for reproduction and recreation. Males spend a lot of time competing for sexual favors.

Bonobo characteristics: matriarchal, female-centered, erotic. Both males and females forage for food. Females and young eat first. They use sex to solve conflicts and avoid violence. Bonobos are both homosexual and heterosexual

and form long-lasting bonds. They have multiple sex partners and avoid infanticide because no one has any idea who their father is.

Human characteristics: add to all of the above: greedy, generous, hateful, loving, mendacious, truthful, narcissistic, altruistic, heroic, cowardly, brutal, forgiving, vindictive, ignorant, self-educated – and the list goes on.

According to some scientists, chimps, bonobos, and humans are close enough to form a single genus called Homo.

Orangutans are identified as being 14 million years old, great apes developed from them about 9 million years ago, and then humans came from the apes about 5.5 million years ago. The chimps and bonobos split from us about 2.5 million years ago – but they didn’t go very far!

If you are going to vote in the 2020 election – just for fun – apply some of the above characteristics to chimphuman Donald the Lyin’ King and Speaker of the House bonobo-human Nancy Pelosi. Why not call all three top animals “Chimmanobos?” It has a distinctive ring to it.

Because of science, I gave up on the Adam-Eve myth years ago I knew we were going to be in serious political trouble after the 17 Republican candidates for president in 2016 did not raise their hands when a debate reporter asked them to do that if they believed in evolution. They all proposed antiApril 23, 2020 19

Should we ask the expert?

One detail in particular caught my attention during the school board’s interviews of superintendent candidates. The boss of the candidate from Green Bay had once been a lobbyist. John Magas, our newly hired superintendent, mentioned this in both rounds of the interview process. He referred to his boss’s lobby experience as something he valued and had learned something from.

Not many years ago, being a former lobbyist would not have been such a glittering gold star on the resume of a superintendent. Lobbying state government, however, is increasingly becoming part of doing business (and another taxpayer burden) for school districts and other forms of local government. In both tiers of the interviews, our school board questioned candidates about their experience “working with legislators” and “legislative platforms.”

The Minneapolis Star Tribune wrote about this lobbying trend in its March 3, 2016, edition: “The lobbyist of the public imagination is decked out in Gucci shoes and a bespoke suit, arguing on behalf of a corporate behemoth or powerful labor union. But (these days) plenty of lobbyists work for slightly less glamorous clients: the cities, counties, school boards, watershed districts and other government entities that spend millions every year lobbying the Legislature. In other words: Government lobbying government.”

Our public school district hired a lobbying firm last year. ISD 709 hadn’t had a lobbyist in the Minnesota capital for about a decade. If memory serves me correctly, the last lobbyist was making about double a teacher’s salary plus a per diem for meals and lodging.

His position was axed when the budget started taking a nosedive under Dixon’s massive mismanagement.

ISD 709’s budget is still in recovery mode, after the folly of the Red Plan, but precious pennies have been reallocated for a lobbying presence during the state’s legislative sessions.

The school board hired a firm called the Costin Group. One of the lobbyists from Costin, working on behalf of our school district, is prominent DFLer and former city councilor Jeff Anderson.

My problem with lobbyists is that

I think it’s time our school board starts taking a closer look at the “experts” it keeps blindly following.

they are just pr/sales people. After last year’s legislative session, Mr. Anderson gave the school board a “report” in which he declared: “All of this is falling down on you from above.” In other words, a DFL lobbyist sent by a DFL-dominated school board to lobby DFL legislators produced a closed loop of the same story: All of ISD 709’s fiscal problems are due to failures from the State of Minnesota, and none of the mess is due to poor local decisionmaking.

The problem with this manufactured story is that it hides real problems under a cloak of victimhood and stymies accountability. Anderson and his partner, Gary Cerkvenik, from the Costin Group, were part by of the team that came up with the idea to tear down Central High School and borrow a boatload of money against the district’s maintenance fund to put up another building for Administration. The Costin Group lobbied DFL legislators at the start of this legislative session, and succeeded in getting bills moving in both the state Assembly and Senate.

When the deliberative process of our government boils down to a DFL-DFL-DFL “information” loopthe-loop beginning with the school board Chair not even reading the resolution in the boardroom – where is the check-and-balance? Who in our local leadership is really looking at this idea – an extension of the failed Red Plan – with a jaundiced eye and asking any question other than the same question that dominated the Red Plan process: “How can we shove this thing through?”

Taxpayers are paying for government lobbyists to lobby government, but are taxpayers really the beneficiaries of their lobbying efforts? The main purpose of lobbyists is to convince government to spend more money.

SCHOOL BOARD LOREN MARTELL

Lobbyists also try to convince government to spend money differently – to prioritize spending and channel resources to propitious missions, such as educating our youth. The problem still comes down to properly vetting the proposal our salesmen-lobbyists are pushing, however, and making certain it will produce the claimed results. Duluth should have learned one hard lesson by now: If a massive investment in educational facilities fails, that failure will actually HURT real education in the classroom.

Lobbyists’ first cousin: consultants The American Association of School Administrators (AASA) has an article headlined “The Consulting Boom” on its website. The article examines the recent trend to hire management consultants in school districts: “Schools seem to be increasingly following the business world’s lead and buying expertise when they need it. And consultants in turn are keeping close watch on a potentially lucrative market – a market that includes more than the traditional superintendent searches, workshops on classroom discipline and the latest curriculum trend or help with finances…”

The article quotes from the executive director of the Yankee Institute for Public Policy Studies: “Consultants are hired with an agenda in mind. And given their need to be hired – and stay hired – their findings can drift toward the conclusion that school districts are looking for. What that results in is year after year of giddy good news.”

The author of the article, Donna Harrington-Lueker, points out that “many outside experts (being hired by school districts) are also former insiders – superintendents, principals, technology directors and others. And some (administrators) are wary of the closeness of their connections.”

She quotes a superintendent from Strafford Mo., who expressed his viewpoint on this consulting boom in blunt language: “I see it as a form of prostitution. They’re trading on their past and their connections.”

The biggest problem with fast-talking expert consultants is that they can so easily bowl over school boards. Former Board Chair Ann Wasson (one of the Red Plan’s biggest boosters) declared that “the experts and the facts are my leading force to the desperate need of the plan for our district,” and waxed in

the boardroom about the “hours and hours and hours” that had been put into the plan by “professional people with degrees and backgrounds in numbers and how things work.”

Most of the “hours and hours and hours” invested in the Red Plan were spent conjuring up a scheme to push it through and sell it. The taxpayers of Duluth were shepherded to the fleecing barn by people who truly were expert at “how things work.”

Predictably, a huge expenditure of our city’s wealth only managed to make our schools more unequal. The last time I checked the school-ranking service SchoolDigger.com, Duluth East was ranked 66th out of the 494 high schools in the state of Minnesota, while Denfeld High was 318th. Out of 518 middle schools, Ordean East was ranked at 56, while Duluth’s western middle school was ranked 387th.

Congdon Elementary was 22nd out of 847 Minnesota elementary schools, while Stowe Elementary, on the far western edge of the city, came in at a bottom-scraping 655.

Does anyone in Duluth still believe we were well advised by these highly paid experts?

Marshall Helmberger, owner of the Timberjay newspaper in Tower, Minn., called Johnson Controls’ hustle in the St. Louis County district “a classic case of over-promise and under-deliver.”

“So why the continued push for consolidation?” Helmberger further asked. “In many cases, it’s simply conventional wisdom. When you’re told something frequently enough, you simply accept it as true. But I suspect there’s more to it than that. In many cases, consolidation is pushed by special interests, such as consultants, engineering firms, large contractors, and the building trades, who are often tapped for studies, strategic plans, and large capital projects that frequently go hand-in-hand with consolidation efforts.

“School districts are like enormous ATMs for many in the private sector,” Helmberger continues, “and that’s particularly true as school districts and the challenges they face grow larger, requiring ever more advice from outside ‘experts.’ These purported experts are often well connected politically, and they’re happy to foster the conventional wisdom surrounding consolidation and its supposed benefits. It’s hardly surprising that their efforts influence the thinking of

legislators…Consolidation, in effect, has a large and powerful constituency – and the ‘kids’ don’t have much to do with it, despite the rhetoric you might hear.”

A lucrative market The same consultants seem to cruise around the school district circuit, getting hired over and over, sometimes as other firms. The consultant the school board hired a few years ago to help “tailor” its levy referendum questions and sell a tax increase to the public was the same person, in a new firm, who did the Red Plan survey.

That survey was a textbook example of a consultant being hired with an agenda in mind. Its findings definitely drifted toward the conclusion Dixon and his supporters were looking for.

The most egregious – patently false – promise embedded in the survey was the claim that “the cost of each proposal would range between $257 to $271 million – but, due to savings and sales of unused property, almost half that total is already paid for.”

In its 2007 Review & Comment document, the Red Plan’s corporate expert, Johnson Controls, brayed to the State of Minnesota: “Residents support the Duluth Public Schools issuing bonds for the facilities plan, if

DuluthReader.com

the District uses the plan’s cost savings and property sales revenues to reduce the total cost of the plan.”

It was all nothing but a slick sales job, and should have made our school board more – not less – leery of fasttalking experts.

Another consultant brought into our flawed consolidation process was the demographer who produced the study used to determine school placement and boundaries. Members of our school board have pointed to the St. Paul district’s huge fiscal deficit as proof of a problem with state funding, but as Superintendent Gronseth has stated in the boardroom many times, “Enrollment is the base of the budget.”

The same demographer who blew it here, blew it in St. Paul, as well.

The following is an excerpt from an article published April 12, 2017, in the St. Paul Pioneer Press: “St. Paul Public Schools (district) is preparing for a substantial decline in enrollment, just two years after an unduly sunny report. In January, 2015, (the Red Plan’s) demographer predicted the (St. Paul) district would gain about 2200 students in the coming decade…” But, now, in actuality, the reverse is coming true and “the district expects to lose 2200 students in the next 10 years, in

addition to the 1,000 St. Paul lost in the last two years. The district should (theoretically) have 33,000 students by 2016, (the inerrable demographer) told the Board Tuesday. Her previous report (from just two years earlier) projected 38,200 by 2024.”

A month earlier the newspaper reported: “The St. Paul Public Schools will consider an early retirement incentive and an array of program cuts to close an expected $23 million budget deficit next year.” Gronseth is right on this one: Lack of students equals lack of money. An inaccurate enrollment prediction does no good.

A new attitude needed What I’ve wanted for a long time is a house cleaning of all the experts who misled us. I was actually hopeful when I saw a new financial adviser listed in the school board’s agenda, a while back: R.W. Baird. What looked like something new turned out to be more of the same. A managing director at Baird previously worked for Northland Securities, the firm that underwrote most of the Red Plan bonds. This individual and his wife (who has worked as business director for a couple of school districts his companies have done business with) have had more than one brush-up with unhappy

taxpayers.

In a Feb. 2, 2017, article headlined “Stillwater school officials can’t explain financial advisor’s six-figure payday,” City Pages exposes the fact that a contract with R.W. Baird lists this consultant as the “exclusive… advisor,” but no documentation can be found verifying a competitive bidding process for the contract, or specifying the $115,155 fee wired by the Stillwater district to the company. “It seems to me a person ought to be able to find this document showing how much (Baird) was supposed to get paid,” a board member from Stillwater told City Pages.

The City Pages article is on the internet. At the minimum, the way business was conducted in a couple of other Minnesota school districts was sloppy – extremely poor judgment about appearances. This financial consultant – Michael Hoheisel – played a role in the Red Plan and is now a member of the group of advisers who conjured up an extension to that misguided investment: District 709’s terrible scheme for the Central property. I think it’s time our school board starts taking a closer look at the “experts” it keeps blindly following.

April 23, 2020 21

Demystifying the statistics In the past few weeks, I have emailed out a number of powerful pieces that were written by respected journalists and researchers.

I received the following complaint about the length of the emailings (all were about the COVID-19 issue) from a fellow anti-war, anti-tyranny activist. It went something like this: “Gary there’s too much to read, with all the other stuff I feel I need to keep up with. I wish I had more time. But, quickly reading over the piece, the 1% figure caught my attention. If it was likely I’d die once in every 100 times I went somewhere with the car, I’d feel that was too high of a risk to take. The coronavirus seems to fall into that 1% category, if not higher.”

My answer went something like this: “Given that the entire planet seems to have been bamboozled by the endlessly repeated distortions of COVID statistics, I feel it is my obligation to gently correct you about your understandable fear that the risk of dying from a coronavirus infection is ONE out of 100 (1%)! I suspect most people who get their by information from the Mainstream Media have the same (irrational) fear.

“Please pay attention to the following statistical facts that contradict what is being propagandized on every media outlet: “You and a multitude of others have similar, irrational, propaganda-induced fears of dying of the new epidemic (which has only affected a tiny fraction of the population and has contributed to the killing of an even tinier percentage of the population).

“It must be noted that only 0.1% of the population of China ever got COVID, despite well-propagandized media reports that successfully made most of us think that the entire population of China was at risk of dying.

“I sympathize with your thoughts about considering the risks of catching the virus, but I would suggest doing a more formal risk assessment calculation from the statistics that are published by the record-keepers as innately flawed as they are, given the serious evidence that there are a significant number of false negatives AND false positives with both the PCR swab testing and the serological antibody tests. In fact there is reported to be as many as 40% false negatives with the more technically difficult-toperform (and unaffordable) coronavirus

antibody tests that have not yet been approved for widespread use because.

“Here are some of the calculations that I have recently made.

“The assortment of statistics concerning the risks of actually getting COVID as of mid-April are far less than the 1 out of 100 that you mentioned, which if true might even make me concerned.

Hint: The risks are far, far less. Read on.”

1] The reported number of COVID infections (not all lab-confirmed!) in the U.S. (as of today) is 564,000 cases. The U.S. has a population of 330 million, which, when divided into the 564,000 calculates out at 0.0017, which represents a minuscule percentage chance of getting infected of 0.17% (17 chances out of 10,000).

2] The risk of dying of COVID in the U.S. (23,000 deaths so far, again an inflated number, mainly because of the many false positive PCR tests and the actual over-counting “guesswork” involved in filling out the death certificates) is even more unlikely at 0.007% (23,000 divided by 330,000,000 equals 0.0000696, or 7 chances out of every 100,000 Americans).

3] Most of this minuscule risk of dying is borne by the frail, the chronically ill, the elderly, the malnourished, the over-medicated, the overvaccinated, and the terminally ill patients that are vegetating, often bed-ridden, in nursing homes. etc.

4] An important, but rarely mentioned statistic is the number of presumed COVID-19 deaths per million population of any given nation. In the U.S., that number, as of mid-April is 15, meaning that only 15 Americans out of every 1,000,000 have died of COVID. That means that 999,985 out of every million Americans HAVE NOT DIED from COVID. 5] To put the U.S. presumed COVID deaths per million into perspective, the number in the Scandinavian countries is in the high teens or twenties per million. Italy’s COVID deaths per million population is 218; Spain’s is 201; Germany’s is 11; Canada’s is 3; Israel’s is 3; China’s is 2 and Brazil’s is 1; etc.)

6] Another important number to understand is the number of all cause deaths that occur each day in any given country, a number that has been averaged out in recent decades. As an example, 2,500 Germans die every day and 7,755 Americans die each day. Naturally, the vast majority of deaths occur in the elderly population that are mostly pre-

terminally ill, including what happens during every one of the viral influenza pandemics that occur every year.

7] America’s All-cause Daily Death Number is 7,755 (2,830,690 deaths per year); India’s Daily deaths amount to 26,670 deaths; Japan’s is 3,630; Italy’s is 1,737; France’s is 1,647; Russia’s is 1,444; Canada’s is 780; Brazil’s is 920; Australia’s is 447; Sweden’s is 250; Israel’s is 122; etc.

8] It is important to realize the locations of deaths in America occur 60% of the time in a hospital, 20% in nursing homes and the other 20% occur outside of institutions, usually at home.

9] For Minnesota (population 5.6 million), the risk of contracting COVID (total, as of mid-April = 1,621 cases) is a minuscule 0.00289%. The vast majority of the cases are in high density metropolitan areas in the south of the state.

10] My Duluth home is in St. Louis County (population 199,000). As of April 18, there are 2,071 cases with 111 deaths, which yields an incidence rate of 0.00037 (or 0.037 % chance of getting a COVID infection) and a death rate of 0.0000198 (or a 0.002% chance of dying from COVID).

11] The risk of contracting COVID for those of us that live in the northern half of Minnesota is even tinier. There were zero cases Up North until mid-March, following which the numbers only gently trickled up.

12] One must keep in mind that the CDC’s Bureau of Statistics is strongly encouraging (actually ordering?) all American physicians to list “COVID” as the cause of death on discharge and death certificates of every patient that was either test-positive or simply suspected of having COVID during the hospitalization, illness or death. This is true even if the patient was a terminally-ill, Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) elderly patient

who would be expected to succumb to pre-existent cardiac, pulmonary, renal, immunologic and/or hepatic diseases that were also being “treated” with potentially toxic prescription drugs.

13] Because of the significant incidence of faulty and unapproved PCR tests, it is important to be mindful that an unknown but significant percentage of test-positive cases are actually false positive cases and, therefore, patients with common colds (or even no symptoms at all) can easily be erroneously confirmed as COVID-19! There are also known to be a certain percentage of cases of benign coronavirus illnesses, including A] cases of the common cold that can be caused by a coronavirus; B] cases of MERS or SARS-type coronavirus infections; or C] asymptomatic carriers of one of the many other nonCOVID-19 strains of benign coronaviruses.

14] In Iceland’s extensive screening system, there is a 50% false positive rate in totally asymptomatic Icelanders who never developed any flu-like illnesses.

Were these folks just on the verge of getting a common cold, carriers of a benign, non-COVID-19 coronavirus or was the test flawed?

15] So, I say to those of us who are fortunate enough to live in nonmetropolitan areas like northern Minnesota, take a deep breath, take a walk, take a drive, go to the grocery store, exhale when passing someone on your un-masked walk, consider even giving a big hug to a fellow, un-infected, hugcompliant friend that has quarantined him- or herself for the past couple of weeks – and stop worrying so much.

16] But, don’t forget about the global elites, for they may be either orchestrating this crisis or are making cunning, profitable use of it.

Sure enough, Rush Limbaugh’s calculations blew up in his face. That was Barack Obama’s first crime – getting elected 50 years too soon.

it was obvious that the cop had acted in haste. How dare he?

Limbaugh had assured white people that civil rights was over now and here was a black president sticking up for black people. When President Obama tried to sooth White America’s hurt feelings by inviting the cop and the professor to a “beer summit” in the Rose Garden, the Fox News Crowd sneered.

Every time a black kid was shot and

the president cried foul, Republicans were outraged. When school children of any race were shot en masse their voter’s first concern was that Obama was going to take guns away. After his reelection, fearful gun worshipers stormed gun stores to stock up on guns the way coronavirus worriers had fist fights over toilet paper.

Assaulting the Second Amendment was Obama’s fifth crime.

Finally, when a blowhard TV billionaire jetted around the country claiming that Barack Obama was a Kenyan only to have the State of Hawaii provide the president’s birth certificate, Obama was provoked into committing his sixth crime. He roasted Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents Dinner. Imagine that!

When the bat challenged the wiindigo

By Winona LaDuke Think of crisis as opportunity. The Chinese characters for crisis are wei ji.

Danger and opportunity. That’s now.

Take a breath, maybe look at the night sky and see if you can see any stars.

Enjoy this moment and breathe when Mother Earth gets a breath from our closed factories.

Let’s be better when we come out of this cluster of crises. Let’s appreciate each other, localize our economy, get cleaner, healthier, and grow some victory gardens of this millennium. Rowen White, the Seed Saver, calls them Resilience Gardens, or maybe Sovereign Seed Gardens. Now’s a good time to start those seeds.

Crisis often brings out the best or worst in communities. Or as some have pointed out, fear is contagious, so is joy.

Let’s catch hope and gratitude. Now is our time to shine in goodness.

The reality is that federal policies have failed. Start with stuff from China. Tariffs on Chinese goods meant that some of the massive incoming (virtually everything is manufactured in China) has been stuck in the ports, or never arrived to the supply chain. That was before the virus. Then China was shut down.

We should just rethink that material economy. That’s to say, we don’t need a lot of junk that we buy from China, and we could do it different.

Take that shrimp on your dinner plate – raised in Scotland, deveined in China, and brought to you by Walmart. That’s a crazy equation of energy and life.

The Trump Administration also canned the pandemic program. Maybe we won’t do that one again. As AP reports, “Public health and national security experts shake their heads when President Donald Trump says the coronavirus “came out of nowhere” and “blindsided the world.” They’ve been warning about the next pandemic for years and criticized the Trump administration’s decision in 2018 to dismantle a National Security Council directorate at the White House charged with preparing for when, not if, another pandemic would hit the nation.”

“It would be nice if the office was still there,” Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the National Institute of Health, told Congress this week.

“I wouldn’t necessarily characterize it as a mistake (to eliminate the unit). I would say we worked very well with that office.”

There’s no easy answer to the opening of Pandora’s box. An airborne, very

contagious and lethal virus. Not good.

Makes me want to stick in the woods.

Then there’s the oil markets, pretty much a direct blow at North Dakota and the Tar Sands. That had to do with a price war between the Saudis and Russia, aimed at knocking out the marginal producers in the tar sands and fracking fields. In late February, the massive TECK mine project was abandoned, citing economics including the economics of successful resistance mounted by Indigenous Climate Action and thousands of people. The buffalo of northern Alberta are pretty happy about that.

Then came Suncor’s recent announcement that it will shut part of its production down in a two-year old mine, Fort Hills. They are also delaying new mining projects. That’s massive. The Husky Refinery, the one with the explosion on 2018, is stopping repairs.

As the Star Tribune reports, “Given the current safety and public health risks, Husky has begun a systematic and orderly suspension of major construction activities related to the Superior rebuild project,” spokeswoman Kim Guttormson said.

Besides, that Husky is cutting $ 1 billion in expenses, to keep the big tar sands producer afloat. Maybe that dangerous refinery will never re-open.

Then there’s this: pipeline companies are asking producers to cut back in oil production, because the tanks are getting full. In the midst of this, it’s pretty ironic that the Line 3 Project is intended to go forward. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency cancelled the public hearings on the project, and generously extended the time table for one week, expecting people to testify for a minute and a half, at three video Town Hall meetings in April. That project – if it goes ahead – will bring 4,300 workers to northern Minnesota, which in the midst of an oil price crash, a reduction in demand, and a pandemic, seems like a really bad idea for the state.

The fact is that a virus brought to us by a bat is changing the world, or the world of the Wiindigo. We have some stories of the epic bat in Ojibwe history, and this is a new one. Maybe our descendants will call this “The time that the Bat killed the Black Snake.”

COVID 19 has caused unprecedented social disruption and wreaked havoc in the markets. With the world coming apart at the seams, Helen Mountford, of the World Resources Institute, thinks investment in clean technology and infrastructure could help put it back together again. “We have a great opportunity now to transition more quickly. This is a

24 April 23, 2020 DuluthReader.com

Winona LaDuke. Photo by Keri Pickett moment when we can implement measures to help boost the economy, create jobs, and build climate resilience.”

Forbes magazine (now including links to homemade face masks), notes, “… even in these dark early days, it’s possible to make out what could be a silver lining: The crisis points to the potential of a new normal that’s better for our climate future as investors reweigh their portfolios in light of current events.

The virus has already given us a sneak peek into our dependencies on energy prices and the transition to a low-carbon future, a kind of stress test. The virtual freezing of air travel and shutdowns of factories has dramatically reduced air pollution in China and Italy, and will likely result in a significant drop in energy demand and, thus, carbon emissions, at least for a time. But perhaps there’s a more durable trend: Amid the wrenching market falls of recent days, which were also influenced by Saudi Arabia’s move to flood the world with cheap oil, we’ve seen that the renewable energy sector and other companies less reliant on fossil fuels have been relatively favored by investors.”

In other words, move on.

North Dakota and Minnesota governors have a chance to make a real transition for a more secure future. Tribal leaders have the same opportunity.

Here’re some suggestions: Victory Gardens would be the way to go. In 1943, nearly 40% of all fruits and vegetables grown in the U.S. were grown in victory gardens. There were gardens

planted in backyards, empty lots, and schools grew gardens for their lunch programs. Even Eleanor Roosevelt took part by planting her own victory garden at the White House in 1943. Melania Trump could illustrate her gardening skills and garden wear. We can call them Resilience and Hope Gardens.

Then look to decoupling our relationship to big oil and big energy.

I know that North Dakota and Minnesota have long been wedded to that economy, but with massive layoffs in the Iron Range, and the potential for Enbridge to inundate our state with 4,200 mostly out-of-state workers coming into the north, we need a better plan.

Think of it this way: Enbridge uses more energy to pump that sludge than any other consumer in Minnesota.

That’s crazy. The main line uses the equivalent of two nuclear power plants worth of energy to move that dirty stuff.

Now that seems like an ass backwards plan, Minnesota. There are more than l0,000 people laid off in the tar sands.

Governor Walz can be more visionary than strapping us all to the next decades of vagaries in the fossil fuel market.

It’s a shame that while wind and solar are two of the fastest-growing industries, most of that production is overseas; the parts come into the port at Duluth. It’s the same with medicines, textiles, equipment, you name it. Time to re-localize and re-industrialize in a way that makes sense. Now would be the time for a massive Green New Deal, sort of like an Enlightened Stimulus Package.

We might call it the 8th Fire, or maybe the Sitting Bull Plan. Now is the time for our tribal leaders to be visionary, and courageous. The stimulus money can reboot the old economy, or we can move towards the next economy, the green one.

How about better jobs? Like the ones which don’t require foreign oil, and the ones which build local economies and manufacturing.

Now in the quiet time of quarantine is the time to make that dream and plant those seeds. Let them be organic and bee friendly. That’s my hope and plan.

Douglas County Mental Health CCR receives grant for changes Superior – Recognizing mental health as a top public health issue in Douglas County and acknowledging significant gaps in care and barriers to access, organizations throughout the community have come together to create a Coordinated Community Response (CCR) group to better understand individual agency work, to research crisis stabilization models, and to build hope and cooperation across systems.

Toward this goal, North Country Independent Living has been granted $475,347 for the next three years to begin the process of urgent reform to community mental health crisis response. This Advancing a Healthier Wisconsin grant will allow the Douglas County CCR partner organizations to come together to explore current systems, evaluate effectiveness and implement change.

Lynn Goerdt, UWS Social Work Professor and a key partner in the development of the proposal stated, “This grant can be a game changer for mental health in Douglas County, because it is intended to change our ability to respond locally to mental health crisis needs in a way that will be person centered and recovery focused. We should significantly increase our ability to assist people to prevent a mental health crisis from escalating to a point where they find themselves far from their community and support network.”

In the next three years, partners will come together, working cross collaboratively, to develop priorities for change, to develop and implement a system for individualized crisis planning, and to put in place a HIPAA compliant method for data sharing.

Additionally, the group will explore models for peerfocused community supports.

If you or your organization would like to take part in this community-wide systems change work, contact North Country Independent Living Project Manager Tracy Henegar: tracy@northcountryil.org.

1918 Minnesota Influenza epidemic “I had a little bird, its name was Enza. I opened the window, and In-FluEnza!” Children innocently sang this rhyme while playing and skipping rope during the 1918 influenza pandemic that caused an estimated fifty million deaths worldwide. 675,000 of these were in the United States; over 10,000 were in Minnesota.

The influenza virus that caused the worldwide pandemic originated in Haskell County, Kansas, in early 1918.

By March, 100 soldiers at Camp Funston, Kansas, now Fort Riley, became ill by with the flu. As the MN HISTORICAL soldiers were SOCIETY deployed to fight in World War I, they carried the virus with them and spread it rapidly worldwide.

The first flu case in Minnesota was reported in Wells in the last week of September in a soldier who had returned home on leave (train travel was effective in spreading the virus).

Additional cases were quickly reported in other areas of the state. It produced high death rates among children younger than five years old, adults sixty-five years and older, and, more unusual, people between twenty and forty years old.

Signs of the disease appeared quickly, and a victim could be healthy in the morning and dying by late evening.

Extreme and agonizing symptoms included cough, exhaustion, general body pain, chills, fever, congestion,

Victims could develop highly unusual, devastating lung damage resulting in pneumonia, cyanosis (blue skin), and quick death, or secondary bacterial pneumonia. The intensity and speed of the disease stunned doctors.

The flu, also known as the grip or grippe, occurred in three waves in 1918: March to early summer; the fall; and winter extending into early 1919.

The highest mortality occurred during the second wave, when returning troops brought the virus home.

Although named the Spanish flu, it did not originate in Spain. Spain, however,

was the first country to report cases since its newspapers were not under war censorship.

The hospital at Fort Snelling admitted its first case of influenza on September 27. Within ten days, 850 patients had been admitted, most with the flu. Two hundred of those developed pneumonia, with sixtyone deaths. Most of the patients were men under the age of twenty who had enrolled in the Students’ Army Training Corps (SATC) at the University of Minnesota. Close contact in classrooms and barracks was likely the cause of the explosive spread of the

infection. The epidemic peaked there around October 15.

From November 5 through November 16, 1918, the Aitkin Base Hospital admitted 158 patients. Upon admission, 122 were diagnosed with influenza and twenty-seven with pneumonia. Seven people with the same last name from Andersonville, probably a family, were admitted on November 5—five with influenza and two with pneumonia.

To reduce the spread of the flu, health officials directed Minnesotans to rest, use handkerchiefs, and go to bed and contact a doctor if symptoms arose. They discouraged standing in crowds, spitting on floors and sidewalks, and sharing drinking cups and towels. Government officials throughout the state closed public spaces in an attempt to prevent the spread of the flu. Schools, libraries, dance and pool halls, theaters, bowling alleys, churches, and lodge halls were shuttered. Public events such as parties, meetings, and funerals were banned.

After children in Bemidji flooded a school playground on the Sunday after school was closed, the mayor authorized ten men to patrol the city to ensure the stay-at-home ban was respected.

The epidemic affected multiple areas of community life. In St. Paul, operating elevators in buildings with less than seven stories was prohibited to reduce human contact. Streetcar drivers were directed to keep their windows open so that fresh air could circulate; the number of riders allowed was reduced. Retail businesses could not advertise sales and their hours were regulated. Postal carriers and the Boy Scouts delivered influenza information

Automba—eighty with the flu and fifteen with pneumonia. A good portion of the area had also been severely damaged by the forest fires.

In 1920, the Minnesota State Board of Health reported that there had been 257 influenza deaths in 1917 (before the new strain of the virus entered the state). That number jumped to 7,521 in 1918 and 2,579 in 1919. The majority of the deaths occurred from October 1918 through January 1919— October, 2105 deaths; November, 3,260; December, 2010; January, 1012.

During that same period, Minneapolis, St. Paul, and Duluth reported 1,103, 944, and 327 deaths, respectively. The number of deaths due to influenza dropped dramatically by the spring of 1919.

In May 1919, the Office of Indian Affairs, Department of the Interior, reported that the Native American population in Minnesota was 5,792.

From October 1, 1918, to March 31, 1919, there were 1,633 influenza cases in this hard-hit group. Eightyfive deaths resulted, with a fatality rate of five in 100. (The data were likely incomplete, and it is unknown whether the deaths of Native Americans were included in the state total.)

Since there was no effective vaccine or antibiotics to treat flu complications, people turned to home and commercial remedies. A Dr. Delmore in Roseau County advised eating squirrel soup. Gargling with disinfectant solutions and wearing gauze masks to prevent exposure to cough and sneeze droplets was common. Quarantine to prevent exposure was the primary means of managing the epidemic.

In 1918, viruses were unknown, and the cause of influenza was incorrectly attributed to a bacterium known as Pfeiffer’s bacillus. It wasn’t until the 1930s that scientists proved that the flu is caused by viruses.

Editor’s note: A pandemic is not equivalent to an epidemic. In an epidemic, a disease affects large numbers of people within a relatively local community, such as a city or county or state. In a pandemic, a disease affects people across a broader area, such as a nation or continent.

Therefore, the sections of this article that refer to the worldwide influenza crisis of 1918 use the word pandemic; those that refer to the spread of influenza inside Minnesota, including the title, use the word epidemic.

“Use the handkerchief and do your bit to protect me!” poster drawn by Clifford Berryman, 1918. Poster Collection, U.S. National Library of Medicine, Digital Collections to homes, stores, and offices, but compliance with the regulations was variable. On the night before the public events ban went into effect in Minneapolis, people gathered in lines outside theaters despite the risk of disease exposure. While some protested the changes, monetary cost, and income loss while complying with the rules, others blatantly defied them. Minneapolis and St. Paul health officials were inconsistent in managing the epidemic in their cities.

Dr. Henry Bracken, the secretary of the Minnesota State Board of Health during the epidemic, expressed frustration with the shortage of nurses and doctors to care for the sick.

One-third of doctors were already supporting the war effort, and others were in northern Minnesota caring for forest fire victims. Others were sick themselves, had died from the flu, or feared exposure to the disease.

Burial of the dead was complicated

by a shortage of coffins. Undertakers, grave diggers, pall bearers, and clergy were also ill and dying. The Warren Sheaf in Marshall County reported that influenza claimed the life of a couple who were married on October 23. The bride died on Thursday afternoon, October 31, and the groom died the following morning. They were buried in the same grave. The priest who married them died on November 2, ten days after the ceremony.

On November 22, Captain F. L. Smith, medical director of the Northern Military District of the Home Guard, reported on his tour of the towns and hospitals in his area. He closed the schools in Kimberly and Aitkin. By then, the epidemic had ended in McGregor, but Brookston had thirty-three flu and ten pneumonia cases in the hospital, with sixty people being treated at home. Eight people were in the Floodwood hospital and 160 patients had been treated in

John D. Grube, the pioneer butcher of Tower, was in town last night and his rotund Teutonic visage was vested with more than his usual benign smile.

When the cause of this excess of Joviality was enquired into Mr. Grube explained that he was glad because he had associated himself in business with one of the rising young men of Duluth, and that he was upon the eve of starting for Kansas City to procure a large shipment of cattle for use at Tower.

Mr. Will McQuade, the eldest son of Sheriff S. C. McQuade, will be John Grube’s partner in future, and the two young men, with the backing that they have at their command, will make a strong team. Mr. McQuade up to the present time has been connected with the Duluth Packing company, a concern that has done considerable business of late in Duluth and vicinity, and which is one that will probably extend its operations in the future.

Duluth Herald April 25, 1898 THE AIR SHIP AGAIN.

The air ship passed over Duluth about 8 o’clock Saturday night. It was going west at a rapid rate, at an apparent elevation of 2000 feet. The body of the ship itself was discernible in the twilight. It seemed about the size of a quart cup. Those who claim to have seen it are John Drannen, jailer at police headquarters; R. J. Gillon, police patrol wagon driver. Mr. Gillon says that his attention was called to it by a fireman at No. 2 hall, whose name he could not recall. He says that his son saw it, and Jailer Drannen says that his attention was called to it by his children. Mr. Gillon says that it carried a white light and Mr. Drannen says that the light was red. When first seen, it was over the bay. It travelled steadily and swiftly to the westward and was in sight about fifteen minutes. The light seemed to vary in intensity. All who saw it are certain that it was not a star.

Jan Provost June 1, 1933 April 6, 2020

Kristin Jean Baldwin (Medjo), age 33,

of Saint Paul, Minnesota, died on February 11, 2020, following a brief and aggressive battle with breast cancer.

Kristin grew up in Duluth, attended Marshal High School and graduated from the University of Minnesota with a degree in English. She loved learning and teaching, so she pursued a graduate degree in education. In 2002, she found a new calling, working full time with autistic children. In 2008, she transitioned to working in education, supporting students who had been marginalized in school. Kristin and her husband Brett met in 2003 and married in 2008. When their son Cooper was born in 2008, she devoted herself to raising him in the best environment possible. In her spare time, she explored her many interests, including tennis, writing fiction, politics, and disability advocacy.

She is survived by husband (Brett) and son (Cooper) of Saint Paul, and by her parents Dennis and Sandra Medjo of Duluth, her aunt Susan Medjo of Washington DC and many cousins. The celebration of life to be held on May 3 at the Como Park Conservatory has been canceled and will be held at a later date.

The members of the Northland Chapter of Grandmothers for Peace are grateful for the life of Jan Provost, our founder and leader. Jan died April 6, 2020.

Jan was a woman of extraordinary gifts, the most memorable being her ability to establish connection with every person she encountered. She had a wide network of dear friends.

She established our chapter in 1983. Her sister, Barbara Wiedner, founded Grandmothers for Peace International, working for the elimination of nuclear weapons. Barbara urged Jan to start a group in their hometown of Superior. Jan took up the banner with trepidation but quickly drew in many of her close friends, women from her church and eventually any likely activist she met in the Twin Ports. She was a magnificent recruiter for peace. With her leadership, our group has represented in marches and demonstrations from Clam Lake, Wis., (at the annual Mother’s Day calls for the closure of the nuclear “trigger” based there until the facility closed in 2004) to the School of the Americas in Fort Benning, Georgia, to Washington D.C. We have been a consistent presence at events here, from parades to vigils. Grandmothers for Peace has provided baked goods and monetary donations to local causes.

We have tabled at gatherings and spoken at events. Our Peaceful Gift Drive has collected and distributed thousands of gifts locally for more than 30 years.

A consummate volunteer and cheerleader, Jan led a life of service and joy. She called each of us to do our best while honoring our priorities and limits. “Family first,” she counseled.

Her children and grandchildren were the treasures of her life.

They shared her love with us generously. Jan made each of us feel cherished. She believed in the power of change. “Keep planting the seeds!” she urged “You don’t know where they will sprout!” Jan faced many health crises and challenges. She was undaunted. “I’ll be back (demonstrating) on that corner with you!” When the corona virus kept us all at home, she reassured “When this is over we will have a big picnic in my yard.”

“You are doing the work!” she proclaimed. We share her faith in a better future through determination and caring.

Quarantine club Business aid A message from the Duluth-Superior Area Community Foundation President and CEO Holly Sampson: Our local nonprofit organizations, and the people they serve, are facing immense challenges in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic. Many serve our most vulnerable populations – those who struggle for food, clothing, shelter, and health care even in the best of times. Other nonprofit organizations, those who enrich our lives through the arts or by supporting our natural areas, for example, are struggling to operate since they so often rely on fundraisers or ticket sales, which can’t take place.

In response, the Community Foundation has established four funds designed to swiftly and efficiently make grants to these crucial non-profits.

• The COVID-19 Northeast Minnesota Response Fund will deploy resources

to nonprofit organizations in the seven counties of northeast Minnesota.

• The COVID-19 Northwest Wisconsin Response Fund will make similar grants to nonprofits in Ashland, Bayfield and Douglas counties.

• The Chequama-Care COVID-19 Response Fund will make similar grants to nonprofits in Ashland and Bayfield counties.

• The COVID-19 Two Harbors Response Fund will make similar grants to nonprofits in the Two Harbors area.

Congress has made charitable giving more attractive in 2020. The recently enacted CARES Act permits a charitable deduction of up to $300 (for cash contributions) for those who do not itemize deductions. For those who do itemize, the CARES Act does away with the 60% of adjusted gross income contribution limit and allows a 100% AGI limit for 2020. And those 70½ years of age may still make charitable

A more perfect nugget FLASH IN THE PAN by

ARI LEVAUX Photo: Ari LeVaux

It’s rare to find an omnivore who doesn’t appreciate chicken. America’s most popular meat is poised to oust pork as the world’s favorite animal protein. When that preference is combined with the the fact that human beings also love our foods breaded and crispy, we can begin to understand why chicken nuggets have become so wildly popular.

Even vegetarians and vegans love chicken nuggets, which explains the recent explosion of fake chicken nuggets onto the food scene. Chicken behemoth Tyson Foods is now selling Raised & Rooted chicken-free nuggets, while several startups, including NUGGS, Daring Foods and Rebellyous Foods, each has its own crispy breaded chickenesque product. KFC, meanwhile, is tweaking its Beyond Fried Chicken nuggets from Beyond Meat.

Industrial chicken processors love chicken nuggets, too, as they offer a way to use parts of the animal that we don’t normally associate with food. A study published in the American Journal of Medicine tested chicken nuggets from two American fast food chains and found neither contained more than 50% chicken meat, while a Singapore study found the nuggets there can contain as little as 15% meat. These quasi-meatless nuggets also contain nerve tissue, bones and lots of fat, and are augmented by soy proteins that are similar to some the ingredients in plant-based nuggets.

Because it’s gross to think about the true identity of a chicken nugget, many

DuluthReader.com

people simply avoid doing so. They taste good, especially when dipped in some tangy, spicy or creamy sauce, so we eat them. But there are signs that the ability to overlook what is in an industrial chicken might be waning.

Chicken nugget sales have been falling in recent years, and nobody is quite sure why. Perhaps chicken lovers, as well as meat eaters, are growing wary of mystery meat. Without the mouthfeel to back it up, maybe tasting like chicken isn’t enough. For some, anyway.

The first time I served homemade chicken nuggets to my kids, they informed me that my crispy little creations were not, in fact, chicken McNuggets. “I didn’t say they were chicken McNuggets,” I explained.

“Just chicken nuggets.” They remained unimpressed.

In fairness, my first stab at chicken nugget making was a flop. They were potato-shaped, bland in the middle and on the verge of falling apart. But there was no way that I was going to be outdone by Ronald McDonald. So I decided to try to come up with a homemade version that could hold its own against a Happy Meal, without abandoning my principles.

It turns out that making chicken nuggets without bones, cartilage, fat or nerve tissue is not impossible. I read several recipes online and made a few more attempts. Things finally came together when I had the thought — so obvious in hindsight — to add mayo to the mix. The flavor improved and the

nuggets held together. My kids agreed.

My nuggets taste like real chicken, and they have the texture of chicken.

Because they are, in fact, chicken.

A More Perfect Nugget Makes 2 servings • 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast (or chicken tenders) • 2 tablespoons mayo • 1 teaspoon salt • 1 cup flour • 2 eggs • 1 cup breadcrumbs • ¼ cup grated parmesan • 1 teaspoon paprika • 1 teaspoon dried thyme • 1 teaspoon dried oregano • 1 tablespoon olive oil Mince the chicken as finely as possible, and mix with it with the mayo and salt.

Set up a three-bowl dipping setup, as if making fried fish. In the first bowl: plain flour. In the second: the eggs, beaten. In the third bowl combine the bread crumbs, parmesan and seasonings.

Use your hands to shape the chicken

mixture into nuggets. One by one, pass each nugget through all three stations.

First, roll it through the flour so the egg will stick. Then roll it through the egg so the breadcrumbs will stick.

When all of the nuggets have been coated, preheat the oven to 450, add the olive oil to a baking sheet and spread evenly to coat. Place the nuggets on the sheet, spaced so that no two nuggets are touching. Bake for 12 minutes and then flip them. When turned, the undersides that now face up should be nicely browned. Bake 12-15 minutes on the other side, depending on how brown the bottoms got after the first 12 minutes.

When browned on all sides, remove the nuggets from the oven and allow them to cool. This step is very important, because some people cannot control themselves around a plate of hot, golden chicken nuggets.

Serve with your favorite condiment.

Kitchen comfort

CHARLYN FARGO

Creators Syndicate In these unprecedented times, many of us are turning to our kitchens – both for food and for the soothing ritual of baking and cooking. I know I take great comfort in making bread now more than ever; it makes me feel grounded in the present, and it makes me feel strong and empowered to be able to feed my family and myself.

I make my pizza crust from scratch, too. It literally takes minutes in a food processor or a KitchenAid mixer.

Last week, I made banana muffins with my turning-brown bananas, slid a few into a Ziploc bag and took a few to the neighbors (keeping my social distance, of course). It was a way to share – and to check on my neighbors.

Community, care and comfort are things we can all lean into right now, and baking is a wonderful way to embrace all of these. Food has always been a source of sharing and caring for me, learned from my late mother and plenty of 4-H food projects along the way. As a dietitian, I believe food can be a journey to health.

We all have a little extra time as we shelter at home. Use that time to nourish yourself and your family with more fruits and vegetables, whole grains (make those banana muffins and homemade pizza crust with half wholewheat flour). And consider a stir-fry or a Buddha bowl to get more vegetables in your meals. In addition, don’t forget to hydrate and exercise daily.

I’m sending my thoughts and

inspiration for ways to stay well-fed, safe and healthy.

Q and A Q: How can I get more iron in my diet?

A: Red meat and other animal proteins such as poultry, eggs, fish and shellfish are the best sources of dietary iron because they contain a readily absorbed form of iron called heme iron.

Liver and giblets are also high in heme iron.

The other source of dietary iron, called nonheme iron, is found in plant foods such as legumes, grains, nuts, seeds, greens and fortified foods such as breakfast cereals and enriched bread products. Nonheme isn’t absorbed as efficiently as heme iron.

Pairing plant sources of iron like beans, lentils, tofu, whole grains and greens with a source of vitamin C like citrus, strawberries or peppers enhances nonheme iron absorption.

Recommended iron intake for males ages 19 and older and females ages 50 and older is 8 milligrams per day. For females ages 19 to 50, the recommended intake is higher, at 18 milligrams per day.

RECIPE Stir-fries are a great way to boost your intake of vegetables. This one is from the Tufts University Health Letter.

Button up your Canadian Tuxedo Sick of quarantine, social distancing and bored with my own tedious company, I felt in need of some happy liquid, something light and refreshing to free me from the depressing reality of the pandemic and its subsequent paranoia.

A trip to the neighborhood liquor dispenser was in order, and there I found two bright ideas just waiting for me to come to their rescue.

First I must make a quick digression.

In another time and at another place, I frequented a small distillery that made a delicious winter craft cocktail that they called a Canadian Tuxedo because one of the ingredients was maple syrup and Canada produces 71 percent of the world’s maple syrup.

But I was unfamiliar with the term Canadian Tuxedo. I had to ask someone what it meant and was told that it refers to a suit of denim.

Well, that’s a good one, as they say, but I wanted to know more. How did a denim suit come to be known as a Canadian Tuxedo?

We can thank Bing Crosby for that.

As the story goes, while on a Canadian hunting trip in 1951 Der Bingle attempted to rent a room at a glitzy Vancouver hotel while clad in denim jeans. He was refused a room until the management realized just who it was they were so stridently attempting to keep out of their hotel.

When denim-make Levi Strauss heard that a hotel tried to give Bing the bum’s rush for wearing denim, they created a denim suit and presented it to the beloved singer, and the Canadian Tuxedo was born.

And that leads me to the first beverage, Wilderness Tuxedo, a raspberry sour ale from Bent Paddle Brewing of Duluth.

The can appears to be made out of a raspberryby colored flannel shirt (the wilderness tuxedo of the title).

This is an American take on the traditional sour beer known as Berliner Weisse and infused with delicious raspberries. Light and tart, this tasty 4.4 percent ale is just what the doctor ordered.

Bent Paddle has a whole series of

Wilderness Tuxedo beers with a variety of flavors that include passion fruit (known as lillikoi in Hawaii), mango and guava and a combo of berry flavors

(rasp, blue, black and boysen), as well as an imperial with pineapple and blackberry. I look forward to trying them all.

BP also does a Wilderness Tuxedo with cucumber and lime, but my other purchase was Chill Vibes, a sour ale brewed with cucumber essence, from Boulevard Brewing of Kansas City, Mo. Now I know both of these are considered summery beers and I was drinking them in the early days of spring (even though it still looked and felt like winter outside), but, dammit, this is just what I needed.

The cucumber in Chill Vibes is undeniable, so you really have to be a cuke fan to like this beer. And I am. If you usually take cucumbers in your salad, try drinking this alongside and I feel it will meet your daily cuke requirements.

Again, this is a sour wheat ale, also on the low alcohol side at 4.5 percent.

That’s actually high for a traditional Berliner Weisse, which weigh in at about 3 percent.

Cheers to sours and the inventive minds that pair them with unusual taste sensations!

Readers write in (including a Reader reader) From time to time, I receive mail with broad wine questions of interest to all readers. I received two this week.

Tom Bowman writes: “I enjoy your by column in the Epoch Times and was hoping that you could give my wife and I your recommendation. We are more inclined to favor white wines and usually the sweeter ones like muscat cannelli and moscato. Do you have any recommendations for us?”

At one time, slightly sweet wines were the norm, rather than the exception, and quite popular throughout the U.S. Italy’s Riunite Lambrusco, a sweet red wine from the Emilia-Romagna region of central Italy, once sold more than 10 million cases annually in the United States and still claims to be the best-selling Italian wine of all time in the U.S. Though Riunite’s numbers have dwindled, now hovering around a few million cases sold in the U.S. per year, the category for medium-sweet whites and reds remains strong. A few of those wines I enjoy, particularly with fruit tarts, cakes and cookies, include the slightly effervescent rose Rosa Regale, a Brachetto d’Acqui from the Piedmont region of Italy. The 2018 Rosa Regale ($20) took a gold medal at the Winemaker Challenge International Wine Competition in January.

The Eberle 2019 Muscat Canelli ($22) was another big winner at the Winemaker Challenge with a gold medal and a score of 90 points.

Refreshing, fruity and only slightly sweet, this is one of the finest examples of muscat canelli in America.

Douglas Folsom writes: “I know you must be busy and I do not expect an answer but I am overwhelmed with the selection of wine. I am fairly new to wine and I read your articles in the Duluth Reader [Editor’s note: Thanks for reading, Douglas!] I find your articles interesting and informative but of all the wine I have bought, rarely do I find a brand in your articles that I

recognize.”

It is very true that there are literally thousands of wine brands in the United States. Keeping track of all of them is impossible. I try to focus on brands that are either well distributed nationally or from the more popular wine regions that attract hundreds of thousands of visitors each year, giving them tremendous exposure to a national audience.

But even those wines can be difficult to source in smaller cities and towns across the United States. A simple internet search could very well expand your options and the selection of wines available at your fingertips.

Wine.com is a reliable company based in San Francisco that sells wine over the internet. The selection is broad and even includes many hard-to-find wines I seldom see, even in my home city of San Diego, California.

Wine-searcher.com provides another sort of service I find useful. Plug in a wine’s name and vintage and retail outlets around the nation that sell the wine you are looking for pop up. You will also find that many of those retail outlets offer free shipping on some orders.

excellent palate length and a spicy finish. Rating: 93.

Wente 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon, Wetmore Vineyard, Livermore Valley ($35): The Livermore Valley east of the San Francisco Bay area seldom gets the attention it deserves, which serves to keep a lid on prices. That makes it an exceptional resource for wine lovers more interested in value than cachet.

Wente’s Wetmore Vineyard Cabernet from the 2017 vintage is a value gem, delivering layers of ripe black fruit aroma with supple tannins, a touch of wood spice and impressive length.

Rating: 92.

Morgan 2018 Syrah, G17, Santa Lucia Highlands ($25): The G17 refers to a highway in Monterey County that connects many of the top vineyards, but the most important reference on the label is Morgan, the longtime Monterey producer known essentially for stylish reds and whites that are crowd-pleasers but don’t cost a fortune. This modestly priced syrah is another beauty from Morgan, showing notes of blueberry and blackberry with smooth tannins and a spice note on the finish. Rating: 90.

Wines are chosen for review because they represent outstanding quality or value, and the scores are simply a measure of this reviewer’s enthusiasm for the recommended wine.

Drusian Prosecco, Valdobbiadene Superiore Cartizze ($27): The Cartizze cru is probably the most coveted patch of land in Valdobbiadene. The wines from Cartizze are the epitome of elegance and finesse in the prosecco world, and this nonvintage Drusian is a beautiful example. The mousse is fine and persistent, gentle on the palate but with exceptional length. Aromas of pear and citrus are refined, subtle and intertwined, a beautiful example of a Cartizze cru prosecco at its absolute finest. Rating: 94.

Popple for wildlife NATURAL CONNECTIONS by

EMILY STONE At left, aspen trees have pale white, gray or greenish bark on their twigs and upper branches. Right, hemlock needles are short, with a tiny stem and two prominent white stripes on the underside. Photos

by Emily Stone.

Some folks lump all trees in the genus Populus into one category that they call “popple.”

This group includes bigtooth aspen, quaking aspen, balsam poplar and cottonwood. Popple trees can be hard to tell apart, and they all have seeds that float through the air on fluffy “cotton.”

Look up!

The tall trees behind the marker are bigtooth aspen. Their spade-shaped leaves have large “teeth” on the margins.

The leaves of quaking aspens are smaller, with finer teeth. Their long, flat stems tremble in the slightest breeze. As you walk the trail, watch for them quaking or shimmering in the wind.

Both bigtooth and quaking aspen have pale bark on their twigs, upper branches, and young trunks. Old aspen trees will have brown, furrowed bark on their lower trunks. In contrast, birch trees have dark brown or purple twigs, but they have pale bark on their branches and trunks.

Beavers eat the inner bark, twigs, and leaves of aspen trees. Deer, moose, and elk browse on the leaves and twigs. Ruffed grouse feed on the buds and the flower catkins. Many summer songbirds feed on insects found in the tree’s canopy.

How many more aspen trees can you spot along the trail? They are especially visible surrounding the parking lot at the trailhead.

Common Conifers At this stop you’ll find three common evergreen trees: balsam fir, eastern hemlock and black spruce. Each of

Left, balsam fir needs are “flat and friendly.” They feel relatively soft if you grab a twig. these trees has short needles that attach individually along the twigs. They look very similar, until you know the tricks to identification.

First, the polite thing to do when meeting a new species is to shake their hand. Seriously! If you grasp a twig of spruce needles, they will poke your palm. If you grasp fir or hemlock, their needles feel softer.

Next, pick off an individual needle.

Can you roll it between your fingers?

Spruce needles are square in cross section, so they will roll. Fir and hemlock are flat, and they resist rolling.

Finally, turn over the needles. Firs and hemlocks both have pale stripes on the underside of their needles. Hemlock needles are shorter that fir needles, and also have a tiny stem at one end.

You can also look at the bark. Spruce

40 April 23, 2020 DuluthReader.com

trees have scaly bark for their whole lives. Hemlock trees have flaky bark that turns to thick ridges as they age. Fir trees of all ages have relatively smooth bark interrupted by resin blisters.

Here are two sayings to help you remember: “Spruce are spinny and spiney.”

“Firs are flat and friendly, with racing stripes like a fir-rari!”

Northern Red Oak Towering above you is a northern red oak. It is the most common type of oak in the Northwoods. This tree is known for its acorns and shiny leaves with pointed lobes. White oak and bur oak leaves have rounded lobes. Red oak bark has flat, parallel ridges that kind of look like ski tracks.

Acorns are an important food source for chipmunks, squirrels, mice, deer,

black bears, ruffed grouse, turkeys, and blue jays. Native Americans soak acorns in several changes of cold water to remove the bitter tasting tannin, and then grind them into flour. Oaks don’t produce a good crop of acorns every year, though.

As mast trees, oaks save up their energy for three to five years before producing thousands of acorns all at once. All the trees in an area will mast in the same year, and with so many acorns available at once, the critters cannot possibly eat them all. Some, at least, will survive to grow a new tree.

How do the trees know when to mast? Some scientists theorize that the networks of mycorrhizal fungi that connect a forest by the roots may help the trees share resources and information so that they can all produce acorns in the same year. All flourishing is mutual.

I hope you can get outside soon and enjoy some of the trees in your own backyard.

Plant of the Month: Wild Black Currant The Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources 2020 April Plant of the Month is the wild black currant (Ribes americanum), a member of the gooseberry family.

Common throughout Minnesota, wild black currants grow in a variety of soil types but prefer moist or wet conditions. Their habitats include stream banks, swamps, wet meadows, lakeshores and woodland ledges.

This common Minnesota shrub is a source of food and cover for many animals, including Minnesota’s state bee, the federally endangered rusty patched bumblebee.

Identification Wild black currants have multiple ascending, arching or tailing stems three to six feet long. They are smooth,

but new growth is hairy and older growth may be ridged or winged.

Leaves are alternate (attached singly to the stem), palmately lobed and sharply toothed, growing three to four inches long and wide. Small yellow resin glands dot both leaf surfaces but are more numerous below.

Petioles (leaf stalks) are hairy.

Cream to yellow-green flowers bloom

from early May into June in a drooping cluster of six to 15.

Fruits are smooth, up to a half-inch long, and blue-black when ripe in July or August.

Planting Recommendations Choose a moist or wet location in full or partial sun. Plant bare root seedlings in spring, and potted shrubs from spring through early summer.

Space the plants five to six feet apart to improve air circulation and reduce risk of fungal diseases.

Fruiting begins when the plants are three years old. Arching stems may root at their tips, eventually forming thickets.

Wild black currants can be aggressive in disturbed area with little competition. In diverse native communities, they occur as scattered individuals and in small colonies.

Currants and related gooseberries are intermediate hosts of white pine blister rust. This fungal disease rarely kills Ribes species, but it is deadly to white pine and other five-needled pines.

Many of the disease-resistant currants available at nurseries are cultivars of European black currants (Ribes nigrum) and red currants (Ribes rubrum).

Native currants are preferred for greater pollinator benefit, but they are uncommon commercially. For a list of native plant suppliers, visit dnr.state. mn.us/gardens/nativeplants/suppliers.

UMD’s Scott Perunovich turned on the jets to escape from his zone against North Dakota, just one part of his Hobey Baker skills. Photo credit: John Gilbert. he said. “I wanted to finish my college career at full strength and give it my best effort.”

He did that, with 6 goals, 34 assists for 40 points as the leading scorer on UMD’s team and also in the entire NCHC. For his three seasons, Perunovich has 20-85—105 for his 115 college games.

“For sure, I’d rather set guys up than shoot, because it’s always more satisfying to me,” he said. “But I’ve been working on trying to shoot more.”

Along the way, several other Bulldogs took advantage of pro offers and left school, including Mikey Anderson a year ago, and Samberg this

season, along with Perunovich. Wolff, who had finished his eligibility, also signed, with the Boston Bruins.

That leaves only Matt Anderson among those five fantastic freshmen coming back for his senior year, which should be another major rebuilding project for coach Scott Sandelin.

“It will be a big opportunity for Mattie,” said Sandelin. “He’s filled a role for three years, but he’s been a little overshadowed, and he could have a breakout year as a senior. We need a new goaltender and a lot of new defensemen, and there’ll be some good competition, for a change. Even when those five came in as freshmen, we knew they would be solid, and that

they can do things a lot of players can’t do.

“Scott has always had that great ability to make plays and ignite our offense, and we’ll all be watching him as a pro. I don’t like to single him, or anyone, out from this group, because everybody has contributed so much and given us such great leadership.

Those guys played a lot of hockey for us.”

Perunovich and Wolff became partners on D, and both had a mischievous streak that didn’t escape Sandelin’s notice.

“They were both jokesters,” Sandelin said.

The question of where Perunovich fits in among the elite players to ever come out of Hibbing is interesting, because Sandelin himself was a top defenseman who went from Hibbing to North Dakota and then to the pros, and he was a finalist for the Hobey Baker Award in 1986.

In the list of the top Bluejackets, Gary Gambucci, Mike Polich, Bob Collyard and Joe Micheletti might be the consensus top four, but if so, Perunovich stickhandles his way right in among them.

“And maybe he’s the best ever,” said Gambucci, who was an All-America at Minnesota and played in the NHL. By signing a pro contract, Perunovich will also be judged anew, as to where he fits into the UMD elite list, where he became the sixth player named Hobey Baker. He followed Tom Kurvers, Bill Watson, Chris Marinucci, Junior Lessard, and Jack Connolly. No other college team has had more than five.

Kurvers, who led UMD to the 1984 NCAA final four, was named Hobey Baker at that Lake Placid tournament, the day before the Bulldogs lost a 3-overtime heartbreaker to Bowling Green. Watson won in 1985, a day after UMD had lost a 3-overtime heartbreaker to RPI in Detroit.

Now an assistant general manager with the Wild, Kurvers scouts the colleges for prospects and has maintained a close perspective on UMD’s teams. “Scott controls play,” said Kurvers. “He has puck skill and puck poise, and his ability emerged his freshman year and has only improved by the end of his junior year. Not many guys have the ability to calm a game down or to speed it up.

“And I assume he does that in intrasquad games and in the biggest games of the year as well. He’s not big, but he has strong legs. It’s not important to be tall and it allows him to play lower to the ice. The game has changed a lot in the last 15 years, and

DuluthReader.com

he has the ability to keep the puck in a great place, and the strength to be elusive.

“We’ll talk about him in a few years. He’ll have to shoot more in the National Hockey League, because he can’t keep beating guys at that level, but he has sure hands and is sure of his decisions, and he can bring calm out of the chaos.”

UMD’s rich history on defense include the likes of Kurvers, Maciver, Curt Giles, Dave Langevin, Jimmy Johnson, Keith Hendrickson and

a dozen others. Where does Scott Perunovich fit in?

As a three-time All-America, three time team scoring champion, league scoring champ, Hobey Baker winner, and a player who has never lost an NCAA tournament game, he ranks high.

“I was always proud of being from a school that had so many Hobey Baker winners, but guys would say we never won a championship,” Kurvers said.

“What Scott Sandelin has done is turn UMD into a team that has won three

championships, and is recognized as the best program in the country. And it is still turning out Hobey Baker winners.”

Roland Sands Signature Series ICON wristwatch, above, shows classic race style. At right, a 30-year-old souvenir t-shirt from a rainy day stop at Hockenheim in Germany. Photo credits: John Gilbert was that we tour the Audi factory at Ingolstadt, Germany, on our way to the auto show. We flew to Zurich, took the train to Munich, then were picked up and whisked to Ingolstadt. We walked the assembly line and interviewed a couple of executives, then were presented with a new Audi 80 Coupe quattro, and sent on our way.

It was the greatest and most eventfilled two weeks imaginable. We stayed one night in a small motel in Nurburg, home of the legendary Nurburgring race track. After attending the totally captivating Frankfurt Auto Show, we drove south on the autobahn, cruising at about 120 mph and feeling totally safe. It started to rain very hard as we came by a sign for Hockenheim Ring, another racing track.

We pulled in, and incredibly, it was the weekend of the German World Superbike Race. I wrangled a couple of press credentials, and we walked into the pits, rain-soaked, but found a couple of riders who recognized me from Brainerd.

The Alps, and Ayrton Senna dominating before a last-lap mechanical failure knocked him and his McLaren-Honda out of action at the Italian Grand Prix, were highlights. Driving back into Switzerland, we took the high road, literally, so we could stay overnight at Davos, where Herb Brooks had coached in 1981, after the Olympic feat. The hotel operator was thrilled that a friend of Herbie’s came to visit.

At the end of the trip, we returned

the Audi to a predetermined site at the Zurich airport, climbed aboard a big jet, and were whisked home.

Thirty years later, I was contacted by a public relations woman who regaled me with the design work of Roland Sands to make the ICON Signature Series watch to celebrate his history as a motorcycle racer and designer of parts and accessories. She said they had a small number of samples for journalistic reviews. I described my history of covering motorcycle races “from Brainerd to Hockenheim,” and the next thing I knew, a package arrived with my “test drive” inside.

The watch has a simple, classic look, and the leather band has raised ridges that are remindful of the leather racing jackets Sands has designed. The watch is straightforward and simple. But I’ve only tested it a few days, and it will take much more to give it the total scrutiny it deserves. If you’re interested, check it out at timeconcepts.net and you’ll find it in assorted colors of face and band, for $225.

I’m still trying to find out if Roland Sands ever raced at Brainerd, but if he did, I’ll bet he was on time.

overall game hasn’t elevated. Flyers 1st season veteran coach Alain Vignault has the Flyers playing peak puck and they prevail.

In the Western series 1, COL and WIN stood even in their season matchups, I’d have to give WIN an edge in goal and in team play, but even with their ‘X’ factor in Coach Paul Maurice, I don’t think they can stop COL. In the 2nd series STL has owned DAL (4-0-0-1 this yr) since beating them in double OT in last year’s tourney. I can’t come up with a reason for them not continuing forth with that.

In series 3 the VGK will face NSH. While the Pred’s have been one of the hotter 2nd half clubs, the VGK have been hotter. The VGK roll. And in series 4, EDM has some of the best talent and special teams on earth, but give up almost as many goals as they score.

Goalie Jacob Markstrom wins this series for VAN. In Round 2, in the East, the TBL hold an advantage over BOS in head to head play this year (3-1) and I feel if they are on their game goalie Vasilevskiy finishes the job. I

can’t explain why, but PHI has owned WAS this season. (3-1) I have visions of the Flyers young goalie Hart falling at some point, but not here, plus give me Vignault over Rierdon behind the benches.

For the West, COL and STL were even in their season series. I’d like to think that the Blues pedigree brings them to another Conference Final, but if the Av’s machine is going full blast, I think it will be COL here. The VGK and VAN had only played twice thus far this season, (1-1) but this has the makings of a great matchup. If VAN struggles to score and Marc Andre’ is “on” this series will be the end of the road for VAN this year.

So, am I “off my rocker” at this point or are these some prognostications that could happen?

I think there is some merit here. There absolutely IS parity in the NHL, and if last season’s tourney proved anything it’s that fans had best be prepared for the unlikely.

NEXT TIME: The Conference Finals and the Stanley Cup Final!

Annals of Isolation In Melbourne, Australia, “a bit of boredom in isolation” led 27-yearold astrophysicist Daniel Reardon to experiment on March 26 with an idea to stop people from touching their faces – a necklace and accompanying bracelet of magnets that would sound an alarm whenever someone reached up, The Guardian reported. When that didn’t work, Reardon started playing with the powerful neodymium magnets, clipping them to his earlobes and nostrils, and that’s where things went wrong. Two magnets inside his nostrils became stuck together, and he couldn’t separate them. Reardon tried using pliers, but they became magnetized: “Every time I brought the pliers close to my nose, my entire nose would shift toward the pliers and then the pliers would stick to the magnet,” he said. Finally, his partner “took me to the hospital that she works in because she wanted all her colleagues to laugh at me,” and doctors applied an anesthetic spray, then manually removed the magnets. “Needless to say, I am not going to play with the magnets anymore,” Reardon said. [The Guardian, 3/30/2020] Donuts Delite in Rochester, New York, has found a special way to pay tribute to immunologist Dr. Anthony Fauci. Since March 23, the shop has been printing Dr. Fauci’s image on thin, edible paper, then applying it to the buttercream frosting on its doughnuts.

Nick Semeraro, franchisee of the shop, told the Democrat & Chronicle: “He’s on TV giving us the facts; you’ve got to respect that. ... People are buying them like crazy. We’re making more right now.” The doc doughnuts go for $20 per dozen, curbside pickup and delivery available. [Democrat & Chronicle, 3/30/2020] A survey commissioned by Mentimeter, an interactive presentation company, found that 12% of people

working from home turn their computer’s camera off during a video meeting because they’re wearing few or no clothes, United Press International reported on March 26. Along with that, Walmart Executive Vice President Dan Bartlett told The Washington Post, “we’re seeing increased sales in tops, but not bottoms,” a phenomenon presumably driven by video conferencing workers who do leave their cameras on.

Quarantine Together is a text-based app they launched on March 15 that asks users once a day whether they’ve washed their hands, and if they say yes, they’re introduced to another user. Nivi Jayasekar of San Francisco told CNN she was eager to give it a shot: “It was a hilarious idea.

I feel like it’s an opportunity to form a deeper connection with someone before meeting them,” she said. Ahmadizadeh reports that sign-ups have been growing by 50% every day.

Alberto Tito Alejandro, 51, was arrested following a high-speed chase after Washington state troopers received multiple calls on March 29 about a car hitting two other vehicles south of Seattle and then racing away at speeds up to 100 mph, AFP reported. Trooper Heather Axtman said when officers got close to the 1996 Buick, they were shocked to see a dog sitting in the driver’s seat. Alejandro was steering and pushing the gas pedal from the passenger seat. “When we took him into custody,” Axtman said, “he admitted to our troopers that he was teaching his dog to drive. ...

All In MedFet UK, a small company that supplies people who indulge in medical fetishes, donated its entire inventory (“just a few sets”) of disposable medical scrubs to Britain’s National Health Service on March 27 after being contacted by desperate procurement officers, Metro News reported. “When we, a tiny company set up to serve a small section of the kink community, find ourselves being sought out as a lastresort supplier to our National Health Service in a time of crisis, something is seriously wrong,” the company posted on Twitter. It also took the opportunity to provide a PSA: “Whether getting ready for some kinky fun or guarding against a virus outbreak, the single most effective method of infection control is scrupulous hand hygiene.” [Metro News, 3/28/2020] Discovery Friends Callum Gow, Josh Grossman and Carson Schiefner in British Columbia, Canada, all in their early 20s, decided a hike away from more heavily traveled trails near Alouette Lake would be a good way to maintain social distance on March 20. There have long been rumors of a stash of gold hidden in the area, but the treasure they discovered was completely different: a secret camp, including supplies, that hadn’t been touched for almost 30 years. “It was almost like one of those time capsules that you run into,” Schiefner told the CBC. The hikers found sealed boxes, a radio, a Coleman stove, first aid supplies, a knife, tobacco and, apropos to current day, a big roll of toilet paper. A log book revealed the camp had been used from 1986 until 1991, and through social media, the hikers managed to find some of the original campers, including Rick Senft.

He explained that a group of friends calling themselves the B.C. Weirdness Federation set up the camp, but “life

gets in the way” and they gathered there less and less. “They’re probably some of the best years I had,” he reminisced.

[CBC, 3/29/2020] Desperate Measures After three days quarantined in his house in Mexico, Antonio Munoz got a yen for Cheetos. With the neighborhood store just feet away, but out of reach for a nonessential trip outside, Munoz enlisted the help of his chihuahua, Chokis. Munoz attached a note and $20 to Chokis’ collar and sent the dog across the street. Sure enough, Chokis returned with the Cheetos, and Munoz told Metro News on March 25 he has repeated the trip two other times, bringing back different flavors of potato chips. [Metro News, 3/25/2020] Government in Action Business Insider reported the U.S. Navy installed new toilet and sewage systems on two of its aircraft carriers – the Nimitz-class USS George H.W. Bush and the newer USS Gerald R. Ford – but found they “reportedly cannot withstand demand without having problems.” Frequent clogs require the Navy to “acid flush” the sewage systems “on a regular basis,” each flush costing $400,000, a Government Accountability Office review indicated. The carriers house a crew of more than 4,000 people.

An open letter to John Prine

By William Tecku Dear John Prine, I’ve been meaning to write to say thank you for writing moving tunes that told the truth.But tonight, as I search for my “forever” stamps by the light of Mortality’s lamp, your obituary breaking news makes the full moon sing the blues.

Don’t know why I never get to all the things I mean to do like writing this letter to you. You get snail and e-mail inside the Pearly Gates?

In heaven as you drink your vodka & ginger ale and puff away on what you told us would be “a cigarette nine miles long” know how I always did appreciate that never for royalties or accolades did you early or late put pen to paper or play guitar until your fingers ached to write songs that made me laugh, that

made my heart break.

On the bright side of tonight’s dark side of the moon, at least you didn’t die young, didn’t die alone, didn’t come home from the army like “Sam Stone,” didn’t miss years like you sang Jesus did, didn’t have to write Abigail Van Buren like in “Dear Abby” you did.

At least at the age of 25 your soul was old enough to write “Angel from Montgomery.” At least your better angels kept you from flying as high as Icarus when your words and music flew you from obscurity to celebrity.

At least you knew the love of a loving wife and family. At least during your 50-year career your songwriting peers,

Kristofferson, Goodman and Dylan, to name a few, applauded like your fans and were in awe of you. At least like Twain, Hemingway and Edna St. Vincent Millay you lived up life and wrote it down, at least, until the Corona blues sang your body to a higher ground.

You sing me to your mom’s hauledaway home in “Paradise.” You strum me to surreal shores in “Lake Marie.” You get me daydreaming about throwing away my TV when I hear you sing “Spanish Pipedream.” Free falling at the speed of light I fell for someone’s happiness listening to your “Speed of the Sound of Loneliness.” As a man of

letters you are rare. Your songs are letters written spare. Your 183 words speak like a million in “Hello in There.”

Good night, John. Take your final bow. Thanks to you we get by better somehow. A Pink Lady moon shines for you to infinity. As readers reread your biography what they remember best is your legacy: With great care you shared your humanity.

Sincerely yours, a fan . . . one of many.

Pete Thelen’s got his blues working and he just wanted to let you know Baileys Harbor resident Pete Thelen comes out swinging on his latest – and what he says is his last – CD release with the equally upbeat and ominuous title Best for Last.

Sounding like Door County’s version of smooth bluesman Bobby “Blue” Bland, Thelen kicks off this 12 song CD with “You Make It Easy,” where he and colleagues in the band make it sound easy to be a totally laid-back, inthe-groove hepcat, laying it down like the late, great previously mentioned soulful Mr. Bland.

(On a sidenote, what an ironic name for someone so nonBland! If our names fit our jobs, Mr. Bland’s last name Equally chunky and stinging guitar would be Soulafire, or something like work is delivered by KK Martin. that - ditto my friend, Mr. Thelen.)

Thelen’s lyrics include the classic, Saxist Bennie Hughes lays down make-me-smile-every time reference to a grindhouse solo, and, with an “Jody,” the guy who steals everyone’s uncredited trumpeter, nicely girl while they’re far away fighting punctuates “You Make It Easy” foreign wars or just off at work at the throughout.

be Number 6, the trippy “Voodoo King.” It starts off with a military drumbeat provided by John Hoffman IV, then a psychedelic guitar (Charlie Prazma again) interjects as Pete sings about the Voodoo King, sounding like he’s singing in a dark New Orleans alley, with his voice eerily echoing, reverberating off the walls and the thick, low-hanging clouds you know are there. It’s scarifying.

Track seven features the strong vocals of Linda Moss, singing stingingly about “Storm A Brewin’.” Again, Charlie Prazma’s stinging guitar is front and center. He’s also playing bass on this track. That guy has a lot of hands!

Next, Pete duels with the tenor sax of Jim Massoth in the song called “Lost & Found.”

Track 9, “Move On,” sounded instantly familiar, but I wasn’t sure why until I saw the droning instrument featured is pat macdonald’s cigar box, played by pat himself, and

all the other sound coming from the aforementioned Hans Christian, who owns the Sturgeon Bay studio where Pete recorded three of the songs on this record.

Track 10, “Spider Lake,” is another one of Pete’s spooky blues songs, but this one is taken straight into cinematic stereoscope, with Hans Christian providing the musical atmosphere with a gifted producer’s knowing touch.

More blistering slide guitar provided this time by John Reuter is featured on the next song, a loping blues called “New Pain.”

Pete closes with the beautiful “Thoughts Passing Thru,” with Hans Christian’s cello work giving sweet gravitas to this parting shot.

The rock ‘n’ roll wizard is going to make everything OK. Nice one, Pete!

These days, it’s not easy being Social Animals

Band has to cancel tour while about to issue major label album “But I can feel bad things coming When I have good things going.”

That could be the true story of Duluth’s own Social Animals, who while recently in Norway as part of their Europe/U.K tour, get the call – the tour is over. Get home immediately. Ditto the big national tour with Beach Slang, all as a kickoff to this summer’s major label album release and all the subsequent hoopla of touring and such with that. Yes, that, too, has been delayed.

But even more interesting is that those lyrics at the top are from a song, “Bad Things,” on the new Social Animals EP that drops with radio on May 1. Besides featuring what could be the theme song of the band, the three-song by EP rocks with the precision of a wellhoned band working with a great singer/ songwriter (note the fantastic vocal gymnastics in “Bad Things”).

“Seems to have an unintended comment on the current situation,” Dedric Clark said in a recent telephone interview. “I’ve been hearing that a lot. People have been saying it’s really timely.

Unfortunately. I didn’t plan for that.

“It’s classic Social Animal. We’ve always made the joke that, somewhere we crashed and have been living in purgatory. Something really good will happen and then a major pandemic happens and takes away our first major European tour. We work so hard and feel like we’re finally making it, and they say, you have to get on a plane and go back home.

“But,” Clark continued in a way that sounded amazing from someone obviously on the verge of being discovered by the rest of the world, “things could be worse. We could be sick. Our families could be sick. So it’s not that bad.

We’re not going to stop now. I don’t

think we can at this point. I don’t think we know how to do anything else at this point. We’re not discouraged. We’ve just gotten really tough skin from bad things happening.

We’re in the process of talking to a couple tours that are planned for the fall that we’re really, really excited about.

Feeding Leroy singer and guitarist Sonja Martin said they were supposed to be in Texas at a music festival during the time.

“We are missing all of our people and gatherings big time,” she said. “We partook in a full day zoom gathering with our festival friends that were supposed to be in Texas this last week.

It was super cool, folks took turn playing songs while everyone listened.

It was a reminder of the spirit of the festival and how much we support and love one another.”

Severio Mancieri was frequent face at Sir Ben’s and Wussow’s. He traveled back to his hometown in Iowa when the shutdowns began in March. There, he said he’s been hiking, writing new songs, and hosting live streams.

“I’ve been quarantining down here in Iowa. All the shows are cancelled, obviously. I’ve been doing some live stream shows from home and at local breweries down here in Iowa.”

Mancieri added that the time off has given him ample time to perfect his craft.

‘The City We Became’ turns New York’s boroughs into multiracial avatars Every city has a beating heart – New York has six, in three-time Hugo Award winner N.K. Jemisin’s stunning opening to her new trilogy, The City We Became.

Once a city reaches maturity, it gets a soul. “Its slums grow teeth; its art centers, claws. Ordinary things within it, traffic and construction and stuff like that, start to have a rhythm like a heartbeat, if you record their sounds and play them back fast. The city ... quickens.”

But something goes wrong during the birth of New York City, and its avatar, a homeless black teenager with an artistic flair for tagging, is injured.

Being the Chosen One isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. “I’m still hungry and tired all the time, scared all the time, never safe. What good does it do to be valuable, if nobody values you?” he thinks.

Representatives of the five boroughs have to find a way to reach him ... and form Voltron (as I joked to eye-rolling colleagues, who apparently were not

child nerds during the 1980s).

Actually, they need to get to him before the Woman in White, an alien intelligence who infects others via Lovecraftian tentacles, does.

Manhattan, call him Manny, is a college student with a violent past he can’t quite recall – “smart, charming, well dressed, by and cold enough to strangle you in an alley if we had alleys,” as Brooklyn, a former rapper turned city councilwoman, puts it. Queens is a South Asian math genius. Staten Island, the lone white avatar, has a racist cop as a father. (Manny spends way less time panicking about his memory loss than I would have, but Jemisin has so many clever touches, such as the avatar of Manhattan being able to use money and credit cards as talismans. Libraries, of course, are sanctuaries.)

Before reading The City We Became,

51 March 26, 2020 DuluthReader.com DuluthReader.com

the novel’s setup reminded me of Ben Aaronovitch’s highly enjoyable fantasymystery series, Rivers of London.

But Jemisin is doing something entirely original here. Early on there’s a scene that could serve as a litmus test for readers: Manny, having commandeered an old Checker cab, heads to FDR Drive, the scene of an infestation – and a traffic jam. Using an umbrella borrowed from a reluctant commuter, he jumps on the roof of the cab, preparing to joust with evil.

Jemisin doesn’t waste time on explanations or pleasantries. Her story is an unapologetically ferocious parable of modern race relations. She expects readers to keep up.

If you know that H.P. Lovecraft, a Hitler supporter, had some very ugly ideas about race, those wriggling tendrils take on an added creepiness.

She also expects you to know that when white people call the cops on

BOOKSHELF YVONNE ZIPP

people of color trying to enjoy a park in real life, they don’t have the excuse of an alien intelligence having taken over their mind.

In interviews, Jemisin, who saw each book of her Broken Earth trilogy win a Hugo Award, is pretty forthright about the racism she experienced as a science fiction writer of color.

Accepting that third award, she said, “This is the year in which I get to smile at all of those naysayers: every single mediocre, insecure wannabe who fixes their mouth to suggest that I do not belong on this stage, that people like me cannot possibly have earned such an honor, and that when they win it’s ‘meritocracy,’ but when we win it’s ‘identity politics.’”

The great Octavia Butler (Kindred) once asked rhetorically during a TV interview: “Do I want to say something central about race? Aside from, ‘Hey, we’re here’?” With her career, Jemisin has added an emphatic, “Deal with it.”

Corsair fills compact niche of Lincoln SUVs

GILBERT’S GARAGE by

Two or three years ago, if it was suggested that Ford Motor Company would eliminate its luxury Lincoln brand, we might not have been surprised, because only the king-sized Navigator seemed to be successful for Lincoln, and it was basically a Ford Expedition with bling.

But in the space of one year, here we are evaluating – and praising – the third of three Lincoln SUVs, all of which have carved out prominent

places in the hierarchy of U.S. luxury sports-utility vehicles.

The new Navigator was deserving of high praise, and it was followed, barely a month ago, by a review of the entirely new Aviator, which I declared might be the best of U.S. luxury SUVs with its exceptional 3-row luxury as well as performance, tucked inside an extremely stylish exterior.

And now, along comes the Corsair – Lincoln’s stylish example of what a compact, 2-row SUV can be, when a

company puts its unrestricted mind to it.

As someone who tries to be as objective as possible in evaluating any and all new vehicles, I had to admit the Navigator was bigger and heftier than I would choose, but its upscale luxury features made me realize why high-buck buyers would be drawn to it.

The Aviator came wrapped in sheet metal that was attractively styled and the interior was loaded to the hilt with luxury pieces that made it expensive,

but reasonably compact for a family that needed a 3-row SUV and still wanted something sporty and with surprising performance.

The Lincoln Corsair, on the other hand, fits like a glove my personal preferences for a compact SUV with adequate room for four or five and some baggage in its 2-row configuration, and it puts its tight and sleek styling to work in a sporty package that maneuvers easily, turns in a tight-circle u-turn, and will

Luxurious leather seats set off the classic interior. scat and run with the quickest of the compact SUVs. The competition is ferocious in the compact SUV realm, where Ford’s Escape is one of the standard bearers, and faces the likes of the Toyota RX4, Honda CR-V, Chevrolet Equinox, BMW X3 and numerous others, from virtually every manufacturer.

Since everybody seems to want an SUV these days, it makes sense that the majority of buyers might want to keep it compact when choosing, hoping to get improved fuel economy and making it easier to lure some performance out of smaller powertrains. The Corsair meets both ends of that bargain, delivering nearly 30 miles per gallon and still delivering some starch when you hit the gas.

Turbocharging is responsible for the compromise, with both Corsair engines, Ford’s 2.0 and 2.3-liter 4-cylinders gaining power from the forced-air feed of the turbos. The testvehicle I drove was the loaded model, with a 2.3-liter turbo delivering a potent 295 horsepower and 310 footpounds of torque. That gives it about a one-second edge over the 2.0, with its 250 horses and 280 foot-pounds, in a 0-60 dash.

Taking a page out of Aviator’s book, the Corsair doesn’t have as flashy a dashboard design, but it does have similar bucket seats, with excellent support and 24-way power adjustability, with a curvaceous design that puts it up at the top of its class for comfort. The smooth leather seats have push-button heating and cooling

ventilation, and add the therapeutic massage feature of its bigger siblings.

Lincolns have traditionally swiped the best features from Ford vehicles, and the Corsair wasn’t about to let the flashy new Escape get away with all its stuff, starting with its new and unique platform. The Corsair rides comfortably on the firm design of the Escape chassis, which aids stability and sporty but safe handling.

In its previous round of vehicles, Lincoln had the MKC sedan, which was nice, attractive, but was not an SUV. The Corsair has the slightly taller stance and all-wheel drive, with all that high-end interior equipment and it is an SUV, retaining its flair for utility, even if compact and eyecatching.

One thing that takes a bit of getting used to is the shifter. Eliminating the console stalk to select gears gives occupants a bit more room, and Lincoln resists the temptation to go with the current and trendy norm of a rotating dial. Instead, on

your first time inside and behind the wheel, you might spend a few minutes searching before you spot the location, just under the ledge of the center stack, where push buttons can activate reverse or drive or neutral to control the 8-speed automatic. Only problem, you can’t really see the buttons, so it helps if you know where they are.

If the front buckets are supremely comfortable, and encapsulate you as if in a cocoon, the rear seats will slide to add to the quite roomy comfort in the rear. And it helps all the seats that the sunroof is one of those full, panoramic roofs that seems to open the whole ceiling to the outside.

Both models of the Corsair offer all-wheel drive, with the more basic model starting at about $39,000 and the upgraded Reserve model starting at almost $46,000.

My test vehicle came loaded up with nearly $15,000 in optional equipment and packages, reaching more than $62,000, which maintains its $6,000-$8,000 price status above

Among all those upgrades are some serious luxury touches, such as LED lights for added brightness in every application. Headlights, taillights and foglights are all LEDs, and it even has what are called approach lights, which give you a little lighted grid on the ground outside the doors to make sure you realize you’re getting into the right vehicle.

I’ve always been an advocate of getting the smallest vehicle that is big enough, and the Corsair is the perfect example of what I was getting at. It will do everything larger SUVs will do, but with the added convenience of agility and maneuverability in traffic and congested driving.

As for the styling, the Corsair has a lot of cues from the larger Aviator, with that distinctive Lincoln grille fitted in between the headlight fixtures, and a side view featuring contour lines blending into the sheet metal on both sides, and large, stylish alloy wheels, with dual exhausts.

A nice added touch on the rear is a horizontal taillight that runs the full width of the vehicle and makes a distinctive impression on anyone approaching from the rear, or coming upon a parked Corsair.

Maybe most people choose more compact SUVs because they cost less, but if things keep going the direction of the Corsair, we might have to start paying more to get all that styling into a smaller package.
