We’re still here!

And so are you – so let’s work together

An 88-year-old woman called The Reader office Tuesday. She wanted to thank us for being here. She bemoaned the recent death of The Budgeteer and the greatly diminished presence of the once dominating daily Duluth News Tribune.

“So thank you for being there,” she said.

After singing the praises of The Reader, she said, “I’m going to send something anonymously. It won’t be much.”

“Well, thank you for that, and thank you for reading,” The Reader receptionist said.

“It won’t be much,” she repeated.

“That’s OK,” the receptionist said, adding ,“And congratulations for making it to 88,” which caused the woman to laugh.

“And I’m still in good shape,” she said.

“I can tell,” the receptionist said.

In a short time, the conversation ended and both parties went back to their own business, but the receptionist kept thinking of the kind and grateful woman who felt compelled to call with an attaboy to The Reader for weathering the apocalyptic storm that has capsized so many print outlets.

Colleagues in both the mainstream and alternative press have seen doors close, some for good, and jobs lost, also possibly for good, at a staggering rate not seen in modern times.

Even as we slowly crawl out of our shells to resume life as we used to know it, some newspapers will not be coming back. And, as someone interviewed for this issue of The Reader said on the subject, we’re all going to be dumber for it.

But we’re still here. And the lady who called was glad to be along for the ride with us.

The conversation also struck the receptionist because the office radio was tuned to KUMD, which this week has been conducting its end-of-the-fiscalyear fundraiser, focusing on community at a time when it’s needed, and how the always eclectic and interesting music played on KUMD fosters com-

munity. The receptionist was a founder of the Wednesday Evening Leinenkugel Jazz Club, which began as a few friends gathering on a Wednesday evening to listen to the jazz program on KUMD while drinking Leinie’s, and that informal thing grew into a regular happening in Superior at the long lost and much lamented Tony’s Cabaret.

So, yes, the idea of KUMD and community resonates.

And if the receptionist ever wondered if The Reader also resonates with its community, there was no need, for the 88-year-old woman who called was a perfect illustration of the continued appreciation many people still have for print.

Alas, we have been forced by circumstances well beyond our control to offer our free print edition every other week instead of weekly, and during the off-print weeks we produce a virtualonly edition in what most everyone who has experienced it quickly decides is pretty cool for a non-print edition.

You can actually flip the virtual pages at your leisure, in a full screen image if you so choose.

Check it out at duluthreader.com.

We are also feeling an urgency to return to our weekly print schedule as industry colleagues wither away or greatly reduce their offerings, and as our advertisers slowly and safely begin to open their doors.

While our advertising has picked up slightly, it remains greatly reduced, which effects our ability to return to a weekly schedule. It’s the circle of life as we now know it.

While we hate to say it, we can still use the financial help that all the people listed in the ad to the right have provided to The Reader since this pandemic ordeal began. We still need your help. Thanks to you if you can help us on this journey.

And don’t forget to support the advertisers who have continued to support us through this, and the ones who are coming back to business as usual.

in box MPCA abdicates legal duty

Honor the Earth applauds the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency’s (MPCA) decision to hold a contested case hearing for the Line 3 Replacement Project, but is dismayed that the MPCA has formally decided to not analyze oil spill impacts and Enbridge’s plans to respond to an oil spill, despite the fact that it is the only Minnesota agency that has a duty under law to protect Minnesota from oil spill impacts.

Honor the Earth requested that the MPCA consider the toxic impacts of an oil spill on wild rice, because wild rice is particularly sensitive to the toxic

sulfate and sulfite compounds in heavy Canadian crude oil. Honor the Earth also requested that MPCA consider the impact of an oil spill on Lake Superior.

The MPCA said that because oil spills happen during operation of pipelines, that it can ignore the potential water quality impacts of oil spills.

MPCA has now left review of Enbridge’s oil spill response plans in the hands of the Trump Administration. We are evaluating our rights to judicial appeal of the MPCA’s abdication of its legal duty to protect Minnesota from oil spills.

The Duluthian who told the truth

In 1979, Michael Fedo uncovered the long-forgotten story of the 1920 lynching The somber public events that had been scheduled to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the lynching of three young black circus workers have been put on hold for the pandemic, which is unfortunate because, 100 years later, and we’re still randomly executing blacks.

The tragic irony of the murder on May 25 of George Floyd by Minneapolis police officers so close to the 100th anniversary of the June 15, 1920, lynchings of Elias Clayton, Elmer Jackson and Isaac McGhie would have put Duluth on high alert had the various gatherings and parade been allowed. Now most of the righteous indignation will be expressed virtually, although an event by was held at the Clayton Jackson McGhie Memorial June 8.

Until 1979, Duluthians held their heads high knowing they lived in a clean and upright city. We could feel morally superior to the uncouth, pointy-hatted redneck Southerners because we here in Duluth would never form a mob and lynch three innocent men.

It was 1979 when that was all changed by Duluth native Michael Fedo, who punched Duluthians collectively in the face with the release of his book They Was Just Niggers, the true tale of a 19-year-old West Duluth woman and her 18-year-old male companion who attended John Robinson’s Circus – in Duluth for one night only – June 14, 1920.

The couple claimed they had been held at gunpoint by a group of black male circus workers, who sexually assaulted the woman. The young man’s father reported the incident to the police the next morning. The police stopped the circus from leaving for its next destination and rousted the black roustabouts, bringing 10 to jail.

The story made the front page of the Duluth Herald on the 15th – WEST DULUTH GIRL VICTIM OF SIX NEGROES was the boldfaced headline in that day’s newspaper – and that night a mob estimated in the

“At some point along the way, I said, jeez, nobody knows about this. I also learned it wasn’t in official state history books. So I thought nuts to the novel.

I‘ll just document this story.”

Michael Fedo thousands stormed the police station on Superior Street, grabbed Clayton, Jackson and McGhie from their cells, beat them, and lynched them from a light pole a block up the street from the police station.

The next day’s Herald told the story of the mob murder of the three men (banner headline: THREE NEGROES LYNCHED IN DULUTH). The front page was dominated with the story and sidebars such as Police Forbidden to Use Their Firearms to Withhold Looters, Troops Sent to Duluth by the Governor, and Negroes Attempted Assault While Show Was at South Bend. There was also, front and center, a photo of the wrecked police station on Superior Street and another photo of the light pole at the corner of Second Avenue East and First Street where the men were hanged, with the

The original 1979 edition of Fedo’s book on the left and the new edition on the right. headline Impromptu Gallows Where Three Negroes’ Lives Are Choked Out. Inside were more stories, such as an article headlined Kiwanis Club and Duluth Citizens Deplore Lynchings.

The Kiwanis were the first local body to go on record with a resolution condemning the mob action and the crime that led to it (they should have said “alleged” crime because the story the boy and girl told about the attack by the circus workers was already beginning to unravel, and no one had been convicted of any crime).

The Herald’s editorial writer unleashed on the brutish mob in a piece titled The Law or the Mob? He wrote of the mob “which last night defied the law, wrecked the police station, overcame – all too easily,it would seem – the entire police force and lynched three men, is simply the brute burst forth, stripped of all its thin veneer.

“It is a shallow view, which cannot be rebuked too vigorously, that the villiany of the crime [the alleged rape] justifies the crime of the mob. It does not justify it, and in a nation, a state and a community where the law rules and will take its course and do its duty, NOTHING justifies the crime of the mob.

“For the chief victim of last night’s tragedy was the Law, and not those miserable, trembling, perhaps guilty wretches whose lives the mob took.

Great as their crime was IF they were guilty, and there are no individual crimes worse, the crime of the mob was vastly greater.”

That’s the story Fedo told in his provacatively titled book, and it was like a punch in the face to many Duluthians who had never heard of the incident, never saw the postcards that were distributed of the mob surrounding the three lynched men, and were by then almost six decades removed from the atrocity of their forebearers.

He didn’t mean to ruin Duluth’s reputation. He just thought it was a story that needed to be told.

Fedo can’t recall what triggered her doing so, but he remembers that when he was 9 or 10, his mother mentioned the lynching. And that was it. Not another reference to it from anyone as he was growing up.

“But it must have stuck in my brain,” he said. “I suppose it was 1973 and I thought I wanted to try and write a novel, and I wanted to place it in northern Minnesota post-World War I. I think my notion was that one of

Now he needed to know more about the incident so he could place a character in the action.

“I began to look for the book I assumed had been written about this decades earlier,” Fedo said. “I very quickly learned that not only was there no book, but many librarians had never heard of this event at all.”

In his search for more information, he talked to a man at the St. Louis County Historical Society who said they once had a file on the subject, but a previous director had gotten rid of it because she didn’t think it worthwhile research material for students.

“At some point along the way, I said, jeez, nobody knows about this. I also learned it wasn’t in official state history books. So I thought nuts to the novel.

I‘ll just document this story.”

And, thankfully, he did, because, think about it, if it had been officially forgotten and no one had dug up the story, would there be a Clayton Jackson McGhie Memorial today?

While today Fedo has an impressive professional writing resume, he admits that when he started digging into

research for the book, he didn’t really have all the moves down. His only other journalism gig had been the fall after his high school graduation when he covered high school football for the Superior Evening Telegram.

“I did what I could, being a neophyte at the time,” Fedo said about his early research into the lynchings.

It wasn’t until about four years after the book came out that Fedo found his lack of experience as an investigative reporter caused some setbacks for him, such as when the St. Louis County Clerk of the time told him that all the court records of the various trials held in relation to the alleged rape and the lynching had been order destroyed.

“I didn’t have any journalism background and didn’t know that wasn’t done,” he said. “I didn’t know that I had been stonewalled until about four years later when a kid from Duluth East wrote to me.”

The high school student wrote Fedo to say that his information in the book that the court records had been destroyed was not true because he had gotten the records from the clerk of the court.

“A new regime there let the kid have them,” Fedo said. “The material that I did find, I found in the archives of the state historical society in St. Paul, and that was very useful. The court transcripts that I found only were of the cases that had been appealed to the state Supreme Court. So it was in their

files where the handful of cases that were brought before the state Supreme Court. They also had microfilm of newspapers that had accounts of what happened.”

Fedo said he spent close to two years on the research and writing of the book, and then another two years trying to get it published.

“I didn’t have much of a professional resume at that point,” he said. “I think I got rejected by a number of agents and began to submit to publishers on my own. It was pre-internet days. You typed up your manuscript, put it in a box with return postage. I submitted to more than 30 publishers. I got mostly form rejections. I got three comments from editors that were beyond the form rejections, and they all were kind of surprising, even given that era, we’re talking the mid to late 1970s. The most striking of the comments that an editor wrote – I can imagine that he or she might have thought this but to have written it was a surprise to me – ‘We don’t think we can successfully publish this book because we don’t believe black people read books.’ Another one said, ‘We don’t want to be responsible for causing riots.’ Another one was, ‘Civil rights-type books are passe now.’

This was about six months before Roots became a runaway bestseller.”

Finally, a small indie publisher in Orange County, California – Brasch & Brasch – wanted to publish Fedo’s book with the title They Was Just Niggers, after a comment made by a bystander

to a reporter after martial law was declared in Duluth after the mob lynching.

“I think I was OK with that. At the time it didn’t occur to me that this was not a good title,” Fedo said.

It was a powerful title in the context, but it created a major problem for the book.

“The problem with that title was, since that book was never a big deal because this publisher had no advertising budget [meaning it wasn’t given a prominent push nor prominently displayed], people didn’t want to ask for the book. They Was Just Nigger’s, they didn’t want to say that.”

The book was reissued in 2000 by the Minnesota Historical Society with a new title, The Lynching in Duluth.

“After the new edition came out, black folks were upset that the title was changed because they thought it was appropriate,” Fedo said. “The new title is very prosaic, but people will at least ask for it. Under the new title, it has sold many more copies than the original.”

When an organization was formed in Duluth to create a memorial to the three lynched men, Fedo was naturally asked to join.

“Which I did,” he said. “I got to see the bronze castings down in New Ulm when they were being done. I don’t make it back for the memorial event every year, but I’ve been back several times for it. I would have been this year as well, but COVID canceled everything.”

The Lynching in Duluth was the first of 10 books Fedo has written, along with innumberable fiction and nonfiction stories for newspapers and magazines around the country.

“I have another book coming out in September which is hugely different,” he said. “It’s a collection of humor and satire short fiction. There are 26 stories in the collection and they’ve all been previously published in consumer magazines or literary publications. So I’m still diddling with that.”

His most recent book, the 2018 release Don’t Quit Your Day Job: The Adventures of a Midlist Author, tells the story of his writing life. Before that he wrote Zenith City: Stories From Duluth, an essay collection about growing up in Duluth, including his connection to the lynching story and the book that he is best known for.

“I guess if that book is my legacy, so be it,” Fedo said. “I’m grateful that there probably will be a legacy and the book will continue long after I’m gone.”

Race hate in the daily newspaper The typical reaction of Duluthians of 2020 upon mention of the triple lynching on 1st Street in downtown Duluth on Monday, June 14, 1920, is disbelief and disgust.

How could their forebearers – and certainly some of them were there in the mob estimated at 10,000 for the lynching of Elias Clayton, Elmer Jackson and Isaac McGhie, – have been such beasts?

The answer could be in the environment in which they grew up, combined with the return of thousands of anxious young men from an especially cruel war.

For example, what follows are some of the juicier moments from a lengthy piece that appeared on the Duluth Herald’s literary page on June 11, 1910 (10 years and 3 days before the mob lynching in downtown Duluth). The piece, headlined “The Race Question,” was simply signed “Savoyard,” which was the syndicated pseudonym for a longtime Washington, D.C., but Kentucky-born newspaperman by the name of Eugene Newman. Newman worked as Washington correspondent for the Louisville Courier-Journal and then for The Washington Post.

His Savoyard-signed column was syndicated and ran in newspapers across the country. A cursory internet search will produce several references to Newman’s support for the idea of removing blacks from America and

12 June 11, 2020 DuluthReader.com

The Kentucky birthplace of racist newspaperman Eugene Newman changed its name from Chicken Bristle to Savoyard, the pen name he used for his syndicated newspaper column that ran in the early part of the 20th century.

colonizing them somewhere far away.

In his “The Race Question” column, Newman begins by quoting Shakespeare to establish that he dwells among the lofty (and I wonder if the editor of the Herald’s literary page read no more than the first couple of paragraphs dealing with Shakespeare before anchoring this vitriolic bilge on the lit page).

After establishing his big braininess,

Savoyard moves on to his real topic.

He mentions that the “World’s Sunday school convention” had recently convened in Washington, D.C. (he refers to it as “this town,” and since there is no indication in the column where he means, one must assume that he was so well known that people would know Savoyard lived in the nation’s capital).

Newman chose this to write about

the convention: “the local committee very properly excluded the colored contingent from the parade, whereat and whereupon there was the devil to pay and not enough hot pitch handy.”

He goes on to berate “densely and defiantly ignorant” Europeans for siding with the “colored contingent.”

The only reason they do so, he contended, is because “there is no raw material over there…but you put as many negroes per thousand in Great Britain as there are in the United States, and they will forge you a race prejudice that will make ours blush.”

But Savoyard was just getting his race hate warmed up, for he continues: “Down South when a brutal negro commits the unspeakable crime, we, in orderly way, take him out and lynch him. It is the only way to preserve civilization. If there were a better way, we would practice it….”

Savoyard then takes a lengthy detour explaining American history as a history of superior vs. inferior races, as well as trying to paint President Abraham Lincoln as just another racehating poor white Southerner.

“This world is full of folks who have much to learn. Lincoln did not wage war to free the slave negro, but for the Southern white. He saw that by the close of the nineteenth century, Mississippi would have 100 negroes to one white. He saw that every poor white would leave that state, that would be turned into plantations on which dwelt a dozen whites and a dozen hundred blacks.”

And now the coup de grace: “I believe the race question will be composed by the inexorable hand of death. In a race between superior and inferior, and that is the derby Charles Sumner (anti-slavery activist and Massachusetts senator) entered the nigger in, the inferior will be left at the post, or distanced in the stretch. Look at the Indian. The negro will disappear as he did.”

So, if this is the sort of thing that was considered intelligent thought and worthy of appearing in the daily newspaper, did kids growing up in the Duluth of 1910 – or anywhere else Savoyard’s awful ideas were published – really have a chance at being decent citizens of the world?

The sessions were created to empower black, indigenous and mixed race students, along with their allies. The goal is to create the Duluth NAACP youth council.

Because of COVID-19, a lot of the work had to move online. “Quaranteen” events have been held as a way for these students to continue growing their connections. After the death of George Floyd, Free Space events were added multiple times a week. Those will become less frequent as time goes on, but still serve as a safe space for students to share their fears and frustrations to their peers and counselors.

Of course, not every student can access these technologies, often due to poverty.

“Racism has created barriers for people to engage in these ways,” said Terresa Moses, 2nd Vice President of the Duluth NAACP branch and chair of the Young Adult Committee.

But that doesn’t mean the momentum will die down.

“There’s been a huge resurgence in young people who want to organize,” she said. “It’s imperative that they have the tools necessary to make policy change, to talk about how to change the institutional systems.”

One of those institutions is the po-

lice system. In 1920, law enforcement let down the three young black men who were lynched by the mob. It’s a legacy many see echoed today, one of unaccountability and unchecked power.

“People say it’s just a few bad apples,” said Oyinloye. “But if there were just a few bad apples, George Floyd would be alive. The whole system is a bad apple.”

The murals created on Monday are full of images and words of pain and hope. They are now displayed at the Clayton Jackson McGhie Memorial.

“I have watched this week’s unfolding events, angry and appalled. The words ‘Equal Justice Under Law’ are carved in the pediment of the United States Supreme Court. This is precisely what protesters are rightly demanding. It is a wholesome and unifying demand – one that all of us should be able to get behind.”

General James Mattis former Trump administration Secretary of Defense Once again the country is in turmoil because excessive force by police killed a Black man, George Floyd. Once again people are angry and taking their demands for justice, and real change, to the streets.

In too many places the police response has been more excessive violence proving the legitimacy of the protesters complaints. When will the legitimate demands of people of color for “equal justice under law” be seriously addressed?

There is no excuse for excessive force by police. It MUST STOP. Police officers who do not understand this MUST be prosecuted, fired, or resign.

In the last four and a half years 1,252 black people have been killed by police (according to the Washington Post).

This is unacceptable!

Not much has changed since I wrote about this issue in 2016 (“Fighting Racism with White Privilege” July 27, revised below). Those of us who are the beneficiaries of white privilege MUST stand up and speak out.

system. The extreme militarization of police should be a red flag to all of us.

It illustrates that we are moving toward a police state.

Rallies were held in Duluth and Superior on Friday, July 15, 2016, to remember recent killings, including the five police officers killed in Dallas.

They were organized by supporters of the Black Lives Matter movement. I attended the rally in Superior. I was impressed by the reasonableness of their “demands.”

The basic objective of the organizers, and the larger national movement, is to stop the use of excessive force.

They want the violence against people of color to stop.

They want to stop the unwarranted racial profiling.

They want police officers who do use excessive force, especially deadly force, to be held accountable.

They want procedures and citizen oversight put in place to ensure change actually happens. The Campaign Zero web has the whole list of demands.

I believe these demands are entirely reasonable.

One of the speaker’s at the Superior rally called for the white community to use its “white privilege” to help bring about change.

I never thought of myself as having white or any other type of privilege. I did not inherit wealth. I had no family connections to smooth the way to good jobs. I didn’t move seamlessly into a family business. But neither did I have to fear being racially profiled, discriminated against, or shot at a traffic stop.

So I will be using my “white privilege” to help. I will be contacting my representatives to demand action on these issues. I hope you will do the same in your community.

prone type we’ve become.

Imagine if the revolutionaries decided to wait for a different revolution or hold off until the cure for Yellow Fever was known and the entire nation could be treated.

And don’t forget there was anthrax, as well, out there lurking. We can view past “folk” (or those who employ “folk” in disingenuous ways) as pathetically fearful of spells and diseases.

Modern fears wear a mask.

Early in WWII the shock of the Pearl Harbor attack spawned a fear of the Japanese that led to the internment camps that mark a dark victory for fear over justice. Japanese in the U.S. were the widely feared virus of their day.

Unlike an invisible bug carried by breeze and breath, a Japanese was recognizable leading to internment.

We’ve handled things much better with the current enemy by interning the general population and letting the bug roam free.

Yellow peril and novel virus inspire fear that seems roughly the same in both cases. But wait. In this instance if you’re not wearing a virus catcher on your face you can be the one pointed to in fear as a potential danger to human welfare. That’s a change that affects and infects us all.

Aren’t we fortunate having so much unqualified medical expertise to guide us?

The enlightened and informed pop up all over, well, wherever there’s a headline or attention to attract.

I’ve come to apply the snake oil model in contemporary ways. There is snake oil commercialism ready to sell rubes a palliative placebo of proven properties as meaningless as what I’ve just written.

And we have snake oil media ready to pounce on any odd thing as a goldglitter opportunity to catch the public eye. Snake oil media find portents all about us the same way ancients and witches divined the future in the liver of a sacrificed goat (if you were wealthy) or a dove if you couldn’t afford a goat kill.

Double-double toil and trouble (from the now frowned on Shakespeare pen) fire up a juicy bubble of woe in the image of a dead infant in Cincinnati as direst omen for all of Credulity.

It did happen, the speeding pen of word processing tells us, so beware, beware, oh beware.

I wonder if a study has been done

comparing the ills of yellow journalism with those of yellow fever. They might be close runners, you think? For an old school clod like me it’s un-easing to see a reporter as the better part of the report.

Some years back when running for public office (thankfully for me and the public I lost) one of the opponents presented herself as a mother bear set to defend her cubs. There was an image I hadn’t seen a’ coming. It staggered me.

Why in hell would adults who on their own were able to register to vote need or want a mother bear to represent and shelter them?

From one view I saw a strong woman taking a stand while at another angle the situation appears as excessive mothering.

Over time my impression of some politicians eagerly slipping into a motherly role grew stronger and more worrisome because seeing voters as cubs in need of protection and guidance carries elements in conflict with citizens as independent partners.

Voters in need of mothering would be dependents. As a significant political skew you could hardly find one more telling than that of a political inclination to look upon voters as a sea of dependent faces or as a body of independent minds.

How you react to such a skew is, I suspect, quite individual.

By the time I was 8 I’d begun to chafe at mothering by the various moms (aunts, uncles, grandmothers, nuns) keen to control a boy’s energies.

Relentless, mostly feminine, fussiness drove me to solitude or out of the house to escape. I was sore tired of being told, stand straight, wash your hands, no talking, and where’s your hat?

Reminders serve a useful purpose, but when the reminder insists rain hat, rain jacket, rubber boots and umbrella are needed for a 15-foot dash to a waiting car it’s too much of a thing to any longer be useful.

“Where’s your sunscreen” and “where’s your mask” are well intended but carry problems of their own.

Life is risk; first encountered at birth, risk remains until death.

George Floyd, presente!

“We’re here today because George Floyd is not here,” Keith Ellison, Minnesota’s first African American attorney general, said the afternoon of June 3. “He should be here.

He should be alive, but he’s not.”

Ellison then announced he was elevating the charge against fired Minneapolis police officer Derek by Chauvin to seconddegree murder.

Chauvin kneeled on George Floyd’s neck for close to nine minutes, killing him.

For the last three of those minutes, Floyd, who was handcuffed, was unresponsive.

Ellison also announced he was charging the other three officers involved with Floyd’s death with aiding and abetting murder.

Communities of color, already reeling from the disproportionate impacts they are suffering from the coronavirus, exploded in mass protest. George Floyd’s murder, in the crucible of the twin pandemics of COVID-19 and police brutality, sparked a diverse rebellion against the scourge of systemic racism.

Many the world over have seen the video of George Floyd’s murder. Little, though, is known about the life of this 46-year-old Afrcan American man.

George Floyd was celebrated with memorial services this week and a funeral in Houston.

George Perry Floyd, a native of Fayetteville, North Carolina, was raised in Houston’s historically black Third Ward. He had two adult children, Connie and Quincy Mason, and a 6-year-old daughter, Gianna.

He moved from Houston to Minneapolis several years ago, and worked security at the Conga Latina Bistro, losing his job recently as a result of the pandemic.

In an undated post on social media, George Floyd, who worked as a mentor to young people, condemned gun violence: “I got my shortcomings and my flaws, and I ain’t better than nobody else. But, man, the shootings that’s going on,

A social media image of George Floyd holding a Bible with fellow churchgoers in Houston.

President Trump holding what he told reporters was a Bible during his bullheaded decision to interrupt a peaceful protest in Washington for a phony photo opportunity on June 1, a week after George Floyd was murdered in Minneapolis.

I don’t care what religion you’re from or where you’re at. I love you, and God loves you. Put them guns down.”

Floyd’s anti-gun activism attracted the attention of two Houstonians, hip-hop artist and entrepreneur Corey Paul and Pastor Patrick “P.T.” Ngwolo, who were looking for contacts in the Third Ward for their social justice religious outreach.

“We were extremely fortunate to meet George,” Corey Paul said on the Democracy Now! news hour.

“George was already preaching peace, love, God, unity, advocating against gun violence ... before we showed up. So, when we got there, George basically said, ‘If it’s God business, then it’s my business.’”

Pastor Ngwolo added, on Democracy Now!, “Big Floyd was one of the first people to help us, as a person of peace, to open up the neighborhood, let people know

that we’re OK.” Floyd’s death will have enduring impacts in the community he worked in, Corey Paul noted: “George can’t simply be replaced.

The neighborhoods that are spoken about oftentimes that need so much radical reformation, you can’t just drop in people or information for change. It has to be from a genuine, holistic place. And that’s what George represented.”

One of the many photos of George Floyd posted to the internet by his friends shows him with a group at an outdoor baptism. “Big Floyd,” six feet, four inches tall, holds a Bible aloft above the heads of the others. The image, juxtaposed with the photo of President Donald Trump orchestrated by the White House this week, exposes the chasm between Floyd’s genuine faith and activism and Trump’s naked propaganda.

Washington, D.C. has been the

scene of some of the most vigorous of the protests against Floyd’s murder. Day and night, protesters filled Lafayette Square, across the street from the White House. The Secret Service ushered Trump into the White House bunker on Friday night as the protest grew in size and energy.

On June 1, federal agents, reportedly on Attorney General William Barr’s orders, aggressively cleared the park. Riot police blanketed the massive crowd of peaceful protesters with tear gas, then charged, brandishing shields, beating people, firing rubber-coated steel ball bullets and pepper spraying wantonly.

With the park cleared, Trump and his entourage, including the Secretary of Defense and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, marched to the nearby boarded-up St. John’s Episcopal Church, where he hoisted a Bible for a photo op, without opening the book or citing any verse.

The hollow stunt and the police violence that preceded it were condemned widely by clergy, elected officials and members of the public.

Pastor Ngwolo commented, “Had he opened it [the Bible], he would see that our country needs him to bring down the rhetoric, to bring people together and, hopefully, bring this to a peaceful resolution.”

The paroxysm of protest, the torrent of outrage over the police killing of George Floyd’s will not be silenced.

A full investigation and vigorous prosecution of the four fired officers will bring some measure of justice.

But the fire George Floyd lit with his dying words, “I can’t breathe,” will burn until the plague of racism is purged from our body politic.

Caught in a tempest The U.S. is a failed state captained by a Caliban And yes, it’s headed directly for a huge iceberg. There is no evidence that Donald The Lyin’ King has read anything beyond a menu or a porn star’s telephone number. His tweets are void of any reference to classical literature or American or world history. I’m sure he has never read any of Shakespeare’s plays.

Donald is a perfect caricature of Caliban, a major character in by Shakespeare’s The Tempest. Caliban is a half-human, halfmonster, and the only resident of an island.

He is the son of a witch who dies before Prospero and his daughter Miranda appear on his island.

Prospero enslaves Caliban and rather likes him until Caliban attempts to rape Miranda. Caliban admits to the attempt, saying his goal was to fill the island with little Calibans.

There is a great deal more to the play, but it struck me that Caliban is simply another Donald Trump, a half-human, half-monster. And he is the captain of the rudderless USS Titanic, a failed state about to hit an iceberg and sink.

Donald The Lyin’ King lives alone on his little island in a big white house in D.C., filled with his own incoherent, divisive babble, clearly a malignant narcissistic nutcase. He is a monster-man like Caliban, who has no empathy, who can’t laugh or cry, or love. Somehow he is emotionally damaged, totally unlettered, and has no literary, spiritual or historical knowledge. His vocabulary cannot rise above the fifth grade level.

Abe Lincoln had only six months of formal education but he later had read many of Shakespeare’s plays.

Trump has had the temerity – and arrogant ignorance – to compare himself to Lincoln.

THE GADFLY

ED RAYMOND

The U.S. has a fever and suffers from verbal diarrhea Not only are we in the middle of a deadly pandemic and the highest economic inequality in the world, we are a divided nation battling each other on the streets and in Congress, while death threats fill e-mails and social media.

Our political issues are determined by whether we are wearing masks or maintaining proper spacing. Facebook and Twitter have been turned into manure lagoons filled with expletives,

Russian actor Fyodor Paramonov appears to have invoked future President Donald Trump in his portrayal of Caliban during a 1905 production of The Tempest at the Maly Theatre, Moscow. death threats, and presidential lies and insults. Almost every Trump tweet has become a suppurating wound covered in poisonous pus.

Wealthy Manhattan is a ghost town because of migration to second home Shangri-las, while poor Harlem stacks bodies in tractor trailers, victims of COVID-19.

The results from the pandemic are beginning to come in. Data from 40 states indicate blacks die at a rate three times that of whites. Black Kansans die at a rate seven times that of whites, and blacks in Wisconsin and Washington D.C. die at a ratio six times that of whites.

When New York City’s ZIP codes are ranked, the highest death rates are in eight of the 10 that have majority black or Latino populations.

We are an exceptional country when it comes to COVID-19. We lead the world in confirmed cases and deaths.

We have 41 million people officially living in poverty while 41 million are unemployed.

Harvard philosopher Cornel West says, “The virus encounters deeply racist structures and institutions already in place, against the backdrop of wealth inequality, a militarized state and a commodified culture in which everybody and everything is for sale.”

A ‘lynching’ with a potential

18 June 11, 2020 DuluthReader.com

7.6 billion witnesses About 4,000 American blacks were lynched in the last 170 years, many by the Ku Klux Klan in the dead of night by flaming “Christian” crosses or in the dead of day after lunch.

Others were lynched in town squares and parks, witnessed by thousands of white families on sun-filled Saturday afternoons before dinner. Many sent postcard pictures of the lynching scene to distant relatives to commemorate the event.

There have been many scenes of mass murder committed by armies, gangs, and individuals which have been later “witnessed” by film, video, still cameras, and personal testimony.

How many witnesses have watched the “lynching” of an American black on a city street?

How many billions around the world watched the eight-minute, 46-second murder based on the alleged passing of a counterfeit 20-dollar bill?

They watched four white policemen participate in killing a black man in handcuffs by kneeling on his neck, sitting on him in the concrete gutter, and watching the event with hands in pockets and biased eyes.

Ironically, a man named Mike FreeMan observed the murder of George Slave-Man Floyd in a 10-minute crime scene.

Later, Freeman said he had to collect

evidence before he charged the four policemen with a criminal act!

They walked.

If four black policemen had murdered a white man with the eyes of millions watching them, would they have been charged and jailed?

It took a lifetime of nine days that may change the world to charge all of them with a crime.

What would have happened in Minneapolis if the four had been immediately charged and jailed?

There is a rare moment in life when a decision will make a huge difference in millions of lives. The stars and events were lined up. This was an important moment in the arc of human history.

Freeman failed to recognize it.

Don’t give me lawyerly crap. Kids with an ounce of pot are charged and jailed immediately in some jurisdictions.

A pair of shoes on the path that leads the country to oblivion Who paid $560,000 at a Sotheby auction for a pair of basketball sneakers Michael Jordan wore when he was an NBA rookie?

Who paid $437,500 at another Sotheby auction last year for a pair of Nike “Moon Shoes?” Are they one of “us”?

We have 41 million citizens in poverty, with another 41 million filing for unemployment insurance while we have other citizens spending a half million dollars on smelly sneakers.

We have hungry people waiting in lines by the thousands at food banks.

Our friendly relatives, the chimps and bonobos, share their food. Evidently we are still evolving to – something.

But the selfishness and greed of the One Percent who build $250 million mansions with 27 bathrooms, hide from COVID-19 on $560 million yachts, and buy $560,000 sneakers is another matter today.

The Southern Poverty Law Center has identified 576 anti-government organizations in the U.S., many of them armed militias. Some of them have been around for a long time.

Remember Ruby Ridge, the Branch Davidians at Waco, Timothy McVeigh and the Christian Identity Church at Oklahoma City, the Michigan Militia, Clint Bundy and the nature preserve, the Montana Freemen, the “patriots” who thought they could live in a sovereign country?

There are hundreds of others with similar histories.

Now we have those who intimidate legislators in Michigan and other AR15 “carry” states. Now we have another armed militia known as the Boogaloos,

working many of the protests occurring in dozens of cities across the country, hoping to start a white-black civil war – again.

Gun owners proving their gonads are bigger than their brains Some gun nutcases are posting Facebook pictures of themselves pointing guns at their gonads. It’s supposed to be some kind of message.

I hope they all have .45s and happy slippery fingers. It will help the gene pool because their gonads have to be bigger than their brains.

Speaking of guns and gonads, policemen in the U.S. shot and killed 1,042 Americans in 2019.

In the last 10 years, policemen in Great Britain shot and killed 23.

In the last five years 1,252 blacks have been shot and killed by police in the U.S. Isn’t it about time our Congress asks Britain’s parliament how they accomplish this feat?

I still remember when the “originalist” Republican Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia chastised a fellow justice for referencing a British court decision in a majority opinion.

The Brits do have experience in the field of law. Their constitution goes back to 1066 and the battle of Hastings. Modifications were made after the Magna Carta passed in 1215.

That’s 954 years of experience with the law versus our 233.

We can’t learn anything from British common law? I’ll give you a choice with Scalia’s comment. Is it ignorance or stupidity? Or both?

2 Electric Boogaloo and morphed to a white supremacist militia. It gained national notoriety in 2020 by showing up in Hawaiian print shirts at a Second Amendment rally in Richmond, Virginia.

Their main goal is to provoke a civil war between the races. Guys in Hawaiian shirts and firearms were videoed in Minneapolis. It will be interesting to see if any Boogaloos were arrested in cities that had George Floyd protests.

Boogaloo Facebook postings often include images of German SS and Wehrmacht units in action during World War II. The Boogaloo flag depicts an igloo and palm trees. That only means looting, fires and vandalism to provoke another civil war.

A redneck member of the Boogaloo militia from Hampstead, North Carolina, posted this on Facebook when the protests began: “Lock and load boys. Boog flags are in the air, and the national network is going off.”

(Corky’s sister graduated from all-white Hampstead High School when we lived in North Carolina in the 1950s.

These were “Separate but Equal” days.

All-white Hampstead High was made

of brick. All-black Hampstead High was a tarpaper shack.) His posting was a notice that the Boogaloos are attempting to promote a race war.

That ‘SOB’ put a knee on the grass! Ship him back to Africa!

Remember when black San Francisco 49’er Super Bowl quarterback Colin Kaepernick put a knee on the grass during the “Star Spangled Banner” to protest the treatment of blacks? Donald The Lyin’ King called him “a son-of-abitch” and said he should be thrown out of the country.

That was more than three years ago and Kaepernick is still blackballed by every NFL team.

More than 75% of NFL players are black but 31 of the owners are billionaire whites.

Only three teams have black head coaches.

And while black Colin put a knee on the green grass to protest, white police officer Derek Chauvin put a knee on the neck of a handcuffed black George Floyd.

Isn’t Colin actually whiteballed?

Back to the Boogaloos I have kept files on militias since North Dakota anti-taxer Gordon Kaul of Posse Comitatus and sovereignminded Montana Freemen ended up dead in an Arkansas shootout for killing U.S. marshals in a shootout near Medina.

I was principal of Horace Mann School in Fargo at the time and had a relative of one of the murdered marshals as a student.

There have been hundreds of militias formed and disbanded in the last 50 years. Many government and militia members have killed each other.

Some militias played the paramilitary part, carrying assault rifles, wearing cammies and boots, and practicing “snoopin’ and poopin’” in the woods, playing soldier in Michigan, Minnesota, and the swamps of Georgia and Florida.

The Boogaloos are relatively new on the militia scene. They have taken their name from a 1984 movie Breakin June 11, 2020 19

Quotes from courageous anti-fascists “Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people. To destroy this invisible government, to befoul the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics is the first task of the statesmanship of the day.” – Theodore Roosevelt, April 19, 1906 “It’s ridiculous to talk about freedom in a society domby inated by huge corporations. What kind of freedom is there inside a corporation? They’re totalitarian institutions – you take orders from above and maybe give them to people below you. There’s about as much freedom as under Stalinism.” – Noam Chomsky “There are two governments in the United States today. One is visible.

The other is invisible…The first is the government that citizens read about in their newspapers and children study about in their civics books. The second is the interlocking, hidden machinery that carries out the policies of the United States in the Cold War… This second, invisible government gathers intelligence, conducts espionage and plans and executes secret operations all over the globe…

The Invisible Government is not a formal body. It is a large, amorphous grouping of individuals and agencies drawn from many parts of the visible government. It is not limited to the Central Intelligence Agency, although the CIA is at its heart; nor is it confined to the other agencies which comprise what is known as the intelligence community…The Invisible Government includes, also, many other units and agencies, as well as individuals, that appear outwardly to be a normal part of the conventional government. to be a normal part of the conventional government.

It even encompasses business firms and institutions that are seemingly private.” – David Wise and Thomas B.

by allowing them to avoid paying many of the very real costs incurred in conducting their businesses.“ Those ‘very real costs’ ”include the social and environmental costs of destruction of valuable resources, pollution, the burdens on society of workers who become injured or ill and receive little or no health care, the indirect funding received when companies are permitted to market hazardous products, dump wastes into oceans and rivers, pay employees less than a living wage, provide substandard working conditions, and extract natural resources from public lands at less than market prices. Furthermore, most corporations are dependent on public subsidies, exemptions, massive advertising and lobbying campaigns, and complex transportation and communications systems that are underwritten by taxpayers; their executives receive inflated salaries, perks, and “golden retirement parachutes” which are written off as tax deductions.” – John Perkins, author of Confessions of an Economic Hit Man and The Secret History of the American Empire: The Truth About Economic Hit Men, Jackals, and How to Change the World.

“It does not matter to the corporate rich who wins the presidential election. It does not matter who is elected to Congress. The rich have the power. Money has replaced the vote. The wealthy can crush anyone who does not play by their rules.

And the political elites – slobbering over the spoils provided by their corporate masters for selling us out – understand the game. Your elected representative in the House or Senate, if not a multimillionaire already, will be one as soon as he or she retires from government and is handed seats on corporate boards or positions in lobbying firms… We do not live in a democracy. We live in a political system that has legalized bribery, exclusively serves corporate power and is awash in propaganda and lies.” – Chris Hedges “Capitalism is merely cannibalism without getting one’s teeth dirty.” – Bernard Martin “Our citizens should know the urgent facts...but they don’t because our media serves imperial, not popular interests. They lie, deceive, connive and suppress what everyone needs to know, substituting managed news misinformation and rubbish for hard truths...” – Oliver Stone

“Apathy and indifference are nurtured in the modern age as most peoples’ free time is frittered away with worthless trivia like ball games, computer games, movies, soap operas, and fiddling with their mobile phones.

These distractions might be fun, but after most of them you’ve learnt nothing of any value, and remain ignorant, malleable and suggestible, which is just how the elites want you.”

– Clive Maund “(It isn’t) that U.S. foreign policy is cruel because American leaders are cruel. It’s that our leaders are cruel because only those willing to be inordinately cruel and remorseless can hold positions of leadership in the foreign policy establishment; it might as well be written into the job description. People capable of expressing a full human measure of compassion and empathy toward faraway powerless strangers…do not become president of the United States, or vice president, or secretary of state, or national security adviser or secretary of the treasury. Nor do they want to.”

– William Blum, from Rogue State: A Guide to the World’s Only Superpower “Globalization is but another name for colonization -- nothing has changed but the name. And, just as the East India Company was the instrument for colonization, today’s corporation is the instrument for globalization. And, corporatization is but another name for Fascism.” – Urban Kohler “We must bear in mind that imperialism is a world system, the last stage of capitalism and it must be defeated in a world confrontation. The strategic end of this struggle should be the destruction of imperialism.

Our share, the responsibility of the exploited and underdeveloped of the world, is to eliminate the foundations of imperialism: oppressed nations, from where they extract capital, raw materials, technicians, and cheap labor, and to which they export new capitalinstruments of domination-arms and all kinds of articles, thus submerging us in an absolute dependence.” – Ernesto Che Guevara “The news media is full of propaganda, due to the corrupting influence of huge corporations that own them or advertise on them.

The overall agenda is to convince the audience to be in favor of and vote for their own victimization and abuse, willingly and voluntarily…The majority of the human population

has allowed itself to be deceived through ignorance, deception, stupidity, chronic apathy or a serious lack of curiosity and questioning, all somewhat bolstered by cynicism…

Consumerism rules, and as long as their bellies are full and their heads are filled with mindless entertainment or other gratuitous distraction, people are happy…Cloning has already been done because of the effects of mass media brainwashing.

“An ignorant population does not look to see the greater way, never questions authorities or understands rights and therefore provides little opposition to a dictatorship. If we want to grow as a race we must start educating ourselves. Be able to learn to discern. Recognize when the media is trying to manipulate us. Whatever it is we’re subjected to in the media, beware of the hidden ulterior motive.

Perhaps it would be better to boycott this propagandist pap altogether and instead of being listless or unresponsive, do something worthwhile; campaign for the truth.” – Paul A. Philips “In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way.

“The first truth is that the liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private (corporate) power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism – ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power...Among us today, is growing a concentration of private power without equal in history.” – Franklin Delano Roosevelt “Fascism is a system of government in which there is no separation of powers and the Executive is in control of all branches of the State apparatus, including the judiciary. It is designed to maintain and expand the power of the State for the benefit of a capitalist ruling class. Fascism is characterized by the use of racism, misogyny, and xenophobia, in various proportions, as well as force and terror, to maintain its control. The State may have a single charismatic leader. There may be a single national ideology supported by law, but if not, certain ideologies are banned by law, and certain religious/ non-religious views are criminalized.

There are no independent media.” – Steven Jonas, MD, MPH (Ret.), Deputy Editor of The Greanville Post

James H. Burrell is believed to be the first Black police officer in Minnesota, working in St. Paul beginning in 1892. the Urban League, and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) took the lead during the 1940s and ‘50s to shape civil rights legislation and build alliances among African American communities, including those in the Twin Cities.

The 1960s and 1970s saw a sharp rise in social movements organized by people of color, including the Black Panther Party, the American Indian Movement, and the National Organization of Brown Berets. Racially motivated police violence spurred community members to establish citizen-led patrols to “serve and protect” people who felt mistreated, unheard, and underserved by law enforcement.

Dan Pothier helped established the Black Patrols to serve the North Minneapolis area. After the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in 1968, the Black Patrols became incorporated into the Citizens’ Patrol Corps unit, also known as the Soul Force. The combined patrols served the North and South Minneapolis neighborhoods until 1968.

Also in 1968, the American Indian Movement (AIM) created its own citizen patrol to protect the East Franklin Avenue area and act as a barrier between the Minneapolis Police Department (MPD) and the surrounding community. The patrol was under the direction of the AIM board, whose members included Clyde Bellecourt and Dennis Banks.

Recognized by both neighborhood residents and the MPD for bringing change to the East Franklin area, the patrol continued through 1975 and

reformed briefly in 1987.

The momentum of activism in the 1960s and 1970s continued through the 1980s and 1990s, when more steps were taken to improve relations between the police and communities of color.

In 1981, a multicultural task force was created to examine malpractice cases within the St. Paul and Minneapolis Police Departments. They were also tasked with fostering relations between communities of color and police officers and improving police practices.

The task force’s chairman, Curman L. Gains, was a former deputy commissioner of human rights and the principal of Como High School in St. Paul. Administrative aide Irene Gomez, a Latina community leader, extensively documented the group’s activity.

The Chicano/Latino Task Force was created in 1993 by Commissioner David Beaulieu as a new branch of the Minnesota Department of Human Rights. It was responsible for reporting racial discrimination and recommending solutions.

Around the same time, the community-based organization InterRace, commissioned by the MPD, created trainings for their officers.

Its “Police Training Workshops,” cohosted by Vivian Jenkins Nelson, brought together Minneapolis citizens and police officers to discuss issues plaguing the community. Instead of adopting these ideas, however, MPD hired an outside consultant from Detroit, without ties to the community, to create the trainings.

The Twin Cities witnessed an influx of Somali immigrants in the mid-1990s as a result of the civil war in Somalia.

Since arriving in Minnesota, Somali people have had both positive and negative interactions with Twin Cities police.

The Somali community and police have a history of joining together to create healthy and productive relations.

In the late 1990s, the police joined Somali leaders to focus on lowering crime in the Somali community. The Minneapolis and St. Paul police held monthly meetings with Somali elders, created crime prevention workshops, and even hired their first Somali police officer.

The day the legal challenge was filed, University of Wisconsin System President Ray Cross said his office had already submitted scoping statements describing UW’s intent to create emergency rules to comply with the federal order this summer. He said a system-wide group of Title IX policy experts would review the federal regulations and develop plans to modify UW policies to comply with the federal mandate.

“With the requirement of live hearings and cross examinations, our student judicial system is becoming a courtroom,” said Cross.

A UW System spokesperson declined an interview with Cross about Wisconsin joining the legal challenge against the Title IX changes.

But in comments submitted to the U.S. Department of Education on Jan. 28, 2019 – when the federal Title IX rulemaking process was underway – Cross said UW System institutions rely on impartial investigators to gather evidence following sexual assault or harassment complaints and hearing panels used to evaluate credibility.

He said “sometimes complainants and witnesses agree to testify at the hearing,” but if they don’t the investigative report and any testimony is used to make decisions.

Caring for your tomato plants Q: I bought a wisteria vine from a mail order catalog. When it arrived, it was about as thick as a pencil and about 3 feet long. It didn’t even have leaves. I planted it, and to my surprise, it grew just fine. After just a few years, the trunk was about as thick as a baseball bat. Unfortunately, a record cold winter two years ago killed the top. Last summer, it sent out a bunch of new shoots from the roots that all by grew to about 2 feet long, and all of them just laid on the ground. How do I get a nice central trunk again?

A: It is no surprise that what you got in the mail was a bare root and dormant plant. That is the way many mail order plants are shipped. The vast majority do grow just fine if they are planted soon after they arrive.

I have a question that you probably can’t answer, but maybe the mail order company can. Was the wisteria

grafted? If the top was grafted on to a root stock and it died, the roots may send up new shoots, but they won’t produce the flower color you were looking for.

My guess is that since you describe the plant as a stick, and you don’t mention it having a bunch of

branches, it was probably not grafted.

If I am right, you can use one of the new branches as the new trunk.

The main goal in picking a new trunk is to look for one that is straight. Loosen any mulch, and lift each branch to see if it can be raised to become a trunk. Pick one that is

coming up from the roots and not off the old trunk. The old trunk will decay, and you don’t want the new trunk to be attached to a rotting stump.

Strap the new trunk to a stake or trellis. Don’t tie it so tight that it will become girdled as it grows. Cut off all

the other branches, and keep cutting off any new ones so all the energy from the roots is focused on the single trunk.

It should grow rapidly.

Q: I started some tomatoes and other vegetables from seeds in small pots. In some cases, two or more seeds grew. I left them to see which one was the strongest, but now they are all about the same size. I am afraid to try to separate them because I might damage them all. If I just cut one off, will the dead roots harm the plant I am keeping?

A: If one of the tomato plants is a lot smaller than the other one, then I would cut it out. If they are close to the same size, can you tell if the roots are similar, or does one have more roots? Keep the better one. If they are identical, you can cut either one.

Keeping both isn’t a bad thing, but one may dominate the other one anyway.

Keeping both is similar to having one that branches low to the ground.

Q: My mom gave me a lot of summer blooming bulbs and roots for plants like dahlias, cannas, Peruvian daffodils and other summer bloomers. I can’t plant all of them this summer. Can I store them until next year?

A: I am sorry, but your success rate

for storing the bulbs for that long will be very low. If you can’t plant them in the ground, can you plant them in pots? If the answer is still no, then you should give them to friends who can enjoy them this summer, with the caveat that at the end of summer, they share some of the bulbs with you so you can store then until next summer.

This is a win-win situation. They get pretty flowers this summer, and you get free summer storage. You both get to keep some bulbs in the fall for next year.

Stollenwerk regarding the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative and the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement between the U.S. and Canada. The appointees included Jeff Stollenwerk, Duluth Seaway Port Authority director of government and environmental affairs.

“I am deeply honored to be appointed to the Great Lakes Advisory Board and to be representing our region on important environmental protection decisions at the federal level,” said Stollenwerk, who is joined on the board by leaders from Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin.

The 14 selectees represent a broad range of business groups, environmental organizations, academia and local, state and tribal governments.

Collectively, the group will work with the EPA to find solutions for restoring and protecting the Great Lakes.

“First and foremost, the Great Lakes are the drinking water supply for millions of people and must be protected for future generations,” said Stollenwerk. “These tremendous water resources are also key drivers in the regional economic engine that includes industries, manufacturing, recreation and tourism. Advising the EPA on those interests, in addition to implementation of the binational water quality agreement, is important to ensure responsible use of our shared water resources now and in the future.”

The EPA’s Great Lakes Advisory Board originated in 2012 to advise on protection and restoration policy. It was re-established in December 2018.

In April 2020, the EPA announced an additional $20 million in Great Lakes restoration funding.

Summer theater camp goes virtual under COVID For the past 14 years, the Grand Rapids Player has hosted their Summer Theatre Kids Camp in their home at the Reif Center performing on the Wilcox stage. Not wanting to miss a beat, this year they have focused their energies on thinking outside the box to come up with an alternative that is COVID-compliant and still promises to have all the elements of education, fun and creativity that families have come to expect.

Lauded as DIY Summer Theatre Camp, the program will run for three months. Each month, three Script & Tips kits will be released, featuring a familiar classic fairy tale written into script format. Project coordinator, Sharon Marty, explains, “Six classic fairy tales with familiar story lines have been crafted into scripts written at an elementary reading level with lines for the characters that range from short sentences for the younger ones to extensive reading for the narrators.

Parents are encouraged to join in the fun. This is a project where kids can really make it their own production and parents can join in as characters, stage hands, narrator, sound techs and more! They can change the genre from fairy tale to science fiction or fantasy.

They can design their own costumes, and even characters, in place of the

traditional. They can spruce it up even more by including their own (not copywritten) music, songs and dance steps!

The type of production can be chosen from a variety of staging options. In addition to the traditional characters-in-costume format, other suggestions include a puppet show version, dolls/stuffed animals, stick puppets, and even shadows. Another option would be to present a Readers Theatre where lines are delivered straight from the script with no blocking (movement) and little or no costuming, set or props.

“Everything you need to know is available on our website,” Marty continued. “Each month families can choose from three stories.”

The six selections to choose from include The Little Red Hen, The Three Billy Goats Gruff, Caps for Sale, available in June, and The Gingerbread Man, Goldilocks and the Three Bears, and The

Three Pigs in July. August selections will be a repeat of three from the previously featured six selections.

In this program families will take on the “do-it-yourself” approach as they create the stage, costumes, set pieces, props, artistic directing, and sound effects. Marty will be joined by another summer theatre camp director, Kayla Witherill, and will serve as the virtual drama coaches to offer help, encouragement and applause.

There is no charge to participate in this outreach program. Visit info@ grplayers.com for information.

hail from Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota and the 23 Native nations that share the same geography.

The Bush Fellows include two area residents – Jenna Udenberg, a Two Harbors resident who is passionate about making the North Shore more accessible and a destination for people with disabilities; and Allen Lewis, fire and emergency manager from Virginia.

The Bush Fellowship is an investment in individual leaders. It provides Fellows with up to $100,000 over 12 to 24 months to pursue formal and

informal learning experiences that help them develop the skills, attributes and relationships they need to become more effective, equitable leaders who can drive change in their communities and region as a whole.

The Fellowship is distinctive in its flexibility, allowing Fellows to articulate what they need to become more effective and agile leaders.

Fellows can use the funding to pursue advanced education, networking opportunities, and leadership resources, workshops and trainings.

“The Bush Foundation believes that strong and equitable leaders are necessary for our communities to be places where every person can thrive,” said Bush Foundation Leadership Programs Director Anita Patel. “These 24 Fellows have demonstrated tremendous capacity to lead change, and we believe in their potential to make an even greater difference.”

THIS WEEK IN HISTORY

DISPOSING OF GARBAGE. THE PROPOSITION OF FARMERS THAT A PLAN IN USE IN MANY EASTERN CITIES BE TRIED HERE. The matter of the disposal of the garbage of such a city as Duluth has already grown to be of great importance, and is a hard problem for the authorities to solve. Various methods have been proposed, that most favorably being a crematory, where all garbage and solid sewage can be burned, but there are certain objections to this plan, especially the cost of the furnaces and the expense of maintain them. Aid a farmer today on this matter.

“Why does not Duluth do as many large eastern cities have done, and found advantageous. They cart all garbage to neighboring farms and fields, and farmers take care of it free.

Of course it cannot be tank to farms on the hills, behind the city, for hauling there would be too expensive, but some arrangement could doubtless be made with the St. Paul & Duluth and Iron Range roads, to haul all the stuff to farms along their lines at very low rates. Besides being a practical

solution of the vexed question, it will be an encouragement to the farmers, and will aid them to supply the home consumption of vegetables and fruits.

The receipts daily of farm truck in Duluth by rail is something enormous, and it is a matter of more consequence to our prosperity than most people imagine, that this demand is supplied at home. This suggestion is one that should be looked into.”

Duluth Herald June 12, 1890 AT WORK TOMORROW. Active Work on the Street Car Line; Now Let the Dirt Fly. The first active work on the Duluth electric street railway line begins tomorrow morning. All the contracts have been let, and supplies are arriving every day. The electrical contract, as The Herald has before stated, has been given to the Thomson-Houston company, while the engines of 320 horse power each will be made by the Allis company of Milwaukee. Babcock & Wilcox, New York, will manufacture the boilers.

Active work will begin first on the extreme eastern terminus of the road, but the rails, which were made by Johnson & Co., Johnstown, Pa., are being laid along the route ready for use. Only a few men will be at work tomorrow, for no large force can be used until the poles arrive, which will be about the first of July, then wire stringing will begin.

The motor line will be entirely operated from the power of the Duluth line, ad the motor company is now grading and laying rails.

Duluth Herald June 13, 1900 COMING IN RAPIDLY. People Awakening to Importance of The Census.

The work which the newspapers and the citizens’ committee have been doing for three weeks is beginning

to bear fruit than it ever did before.

Information is pouring in to the committee and Special Agent Getty so lively as to almost swamp them. The people are beginning to realize at last the importance of having a dull count of the city. All today and yesterday, too, people have been calling the office up to ask why they have not been enumerated, or to give information of people who ought to be, etc. This spirit is very gratifying to the enumerators, the committee and everybody connected with the taking of the census, and it means that Duluth will get a fair showing. All the committee has to complain of now is that the rush

did not begin sooner.

Duluth Herald June 14, 1910 LARGEST WHITEFISH EVER CAUGHT IN LAKE SUPERIOR “No,” said the fish expert at Booth’s this morning, “that monster there is not a whale. It’s a whitefish. Yes, sir, just a whitefish, but it’s the biggest that ever came out of Lake Superior so far as I ever heard. It weighs only thirty-six and one-half pounds. Some fish, eh?”

It was “some” fish. Capt. John Maloney, a well known fisherman, caught it at the north end of Isle Royale, and sent it to Duluth by the

Booth line steamer which arrived this morning. The average weight of a whitefish is about three pounds and a six-pounder is considered a large catch.

Capt. Maloney had a stiff fight for nearly an hour with the big fish.

According to reports he was in a small launch and the fish not only yanked the launch about but it nearly took the doughty captain with it. The captain is said to deny this part of the story.

He is an expert swimmer and his friends declare that if the necessity had arisen he world have jumped into the water and put a strangle hold on the bellicose grandfather of the fishes that feed around the rocks of Isle Royale.

The big fish measures three feet two and one-half inches lone, twelve and three-quarter inches wide and five and one half inches thick through the back. Capt. Maloney is one of the oldest fishermen employed by the Booth Fisheries company on the lakes, and he never remembers of previously seeing a whitefish that weighed more than eighteen pounds. C. W. Turner, district manager of the Booth company, has been with the company twenty-eight years and the fish caught

by Capt. Maloney is the largest he has

Duluth Herald June 15, 1910 WEST DULUTH GIRL VICTIM OF SIX NEGROES Pistol at Head Keeps Her Escort From Raising An Outcry.

Three Negroes Under ArRest Confess to their Part in Crime.

Six negroes, three of whom have admitted their guilt, are being held at police headquarters here for criminally assaulting a well known West Duluth girl on the circus grounds at about 10 o’clock last night. The girl with her escort were behind the animal tent watching the loading, when they were surprised by a number of negroes, one of whom placed a gun against the head of James Sullivan, the escort, 2874 Wicklow street, at the same time pinning his arms behind his back. Two others grabbed the girl, who is not over 18 years old, and, placing a hand over her mouth to stifle her screams, carried her to a clump of bushes near

the Missabe tracks and there one after another assaulted her. Her escort was compelled to accompany the negroes and witness the assault.

When released, the girl and her escort were allowed to leave by way of the ravine, some of the negro party watching to see that they did not return by way of the circus grounds and give warning.

The young woman was in a hysterical condition and very weak and had to be assisted to a street car and to her home. Mr. Sullivan acquainted his father with the facts this morning, and he in turn reported the matter to the police.

Immediate steps were taken by the police department to prevent the circus from leaving the city, and a strong force was sent to the grounds, arriving there just as the train was about to leave. Every colored man was compelled to line up and a close examination of all was made with Mr. Sullivan’s assistance in making an attempt to recognize the guilty ones.

Twelve of the crew were taken to police headquarters and subjected

to a rigid examination. After being “sweated” for some time, three of the negroes, Nathan Green, Elmer Jackson and Laney Dillians, admitted the charge and were locked up. One of the negroes, while believed to have been one of the accomplices, stoutly denied his guilt.

Members of the circus management remained in the city to assist the police and will accompany detectives, who will go to Virginia today in an effort to apprehend the other three who were implicated.

James Sullivan stated to The Herald that he was helpless and unable to give any warning, and that, following the assault, he and the young woman were so frightened that they immediately left for home without giving the warning until this morning.

“I have tried to recognize the negroes who committed the crime, but it was dark and they all look alike.

I feel sure that I would recognize the voice of the man who held me, but I did not get a glimpse of his face as he kept behind me all the time.”

“Often, when layoffs and income reduction happen, we are experiencing shock and denial that keep us from immediately making adjustments in our spending to keep us on solid ground,” according to Hendrickson.

Layoffs due to the COVID-19 pandemic are an example of events that can have significant financial impact on many families in Minnesota.

Working through the grief caused by a sudden drop in income allows families to plan for how to adjust their finances with clear heads, and the entire family should be a part of those conversations.

Hendrickson advises, “When we are adjusting spending, it’s important to include the whole family. Talk about items in the budget that are necessary and those that can be put off or elimi-

nated altogether. Ask these questions: • Can we substitute a less costly item?

• How can we avoid waste?

• Are there opportunities to work with others by trading or sharing what we can do?

• Can we save if we do it ourselves?

• Can we do without?

After determining the impact of the income loss, Hendrickson says to be sure to talk with creditors to let them know the situation and discuss when and how you may make payments.

How to tell if you have contaminated medicine Q. I have just read that the Food and Drug Administration will be asking some drug companies to recall metformin. How can I tell if my diabetes medication is being recalled? My pill bottle does not list the manufacturer anywhere on the label. How can we as patients know if our medicine is safe or not?

A. You have discovered one of the weakest links in the drug supply chain. Pharmacies do not have to put lot numbers on the label of the amber pill bottles they dispense.

As a result, it can be very challenging to determine if a particular medication has been recalled unless the pharmacy contacts the patient directly. That often comes from the corporate office and can take weeks or months after a recall.

In the case of metformin, the FDA recently announced by that some extendedrelease formulations had unacceptably high levels of the probable carcinogen NDMA. You should not stop taking your metformin suddenly, but you can ask your pharmacist to verify that your formulation is not contaminated with NDMA. If it is, request a refill with a product that has been tested and found to be safe.

Q. Does wearing a mask protect you from airborne viruses or protect others from you if you have a virus? Or both?

A. There is still surprising controversy surrounding this incredibly important question. Most public health experts agree that droplets or aerosolized particles are the primary source of transmission of the coronavirus. Speaking, laughing, cheering, coughing or singing can spread the virus to others.

PEOPLES PHARMACY

JOE & TERESA GRAEDON

An article in the Annals of Internal Medicine (May 22, 2020) acknowledges that there remain unanswered questions about transmission.

Nevertheless, these international experts suggest that many face masks can reduce the amount of virus a carrier puts into the air.

Cloth coverings may also reduce the risk that people will breathe in lots of virus-laden aerosol particles.

We think that the sooner all health workers and the public at large have access to high-quality N95 face masks the better.

Q. I am extremely susceptible to chigger bites. I have been spending a lot more time in my yard this spring and want to share my preventive strategy with your readers.

I tuck my pants legs into my socks and spray my shoes and socks with DEET insect repellent. I tuck my long-sleeved shirt into my gloves and spray up to my elbows.

As soon as I go inside, I throw my clothes into the laundry and wash with hot water and immediately take a hot, soapy shower. If I get a bite anyway, I quickly apply a strong anti-itch steroid gel my dermatologist prescribed. It helps prevent blistering.

A. Thanks for the tips. They all make sense.

Other readers recommend dusting shoes and socks with “flowers of sulfur.” This sulfur powder is available in hardware stores, some pharmacies and online.

One woman shared this story: “When I was a young woman and took my girls to Girl Scout camp, I would use yellow sulfur powder in a sock, and dust the girls and my shoes and pants legs after dressing.

We were in the woods, the fields and picking berries. The sulfur kept the chiggers away.”

NUTRITION

Brainy food

BY CHARLYN FARGO Creators Syndicate

Is there a way to prevent Alzheimer’s disease with the foods you eat?

Maybe.

Researchers behind a study published in the journal Neurology found that antioxidants have been shown to reduce inflammation that may contribute to Alzheimer’s. In the study, participants who at the highest amount of flavonols, a type of antioxidant, were 48% less likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease.

Here’s how it works: Antioxidants are a type of molecule that neutralize free radicals and reduce their damage. Free radicals are molecules associated with aging, as well as cognitive diseases such as Alzheimer’s.

Vitamins A, C and E are rich in antioxidants and are found abundantly in fruits and vegetables. B vitamins are also linked to brain health and development of new brain cells.

So, what are the foods that keep our minds young?

Fill your plate with berries, nonstarchy veggies, olive oil, fish, poultry, leafy greens, nuts, whole grains, beans and red wine for starters.

Here’s why.

Berries – such as strawberries, blueberries and raspberries – are packed with flavonoids, which have powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties to combat inflammation and stress, two factors that may contribute to cognitive impairment.

Nonstarchy veggies, such as asparagus, bell peppers, broccoli, Brussels sprouts and carrots, are fiber-rich and good sources of antioxidants such as vitamins A, C and E. Olive oil contains mainly monoun-

saturated fatty acids.

A 2012 study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society found that, compared to other types of fat, monounsaturated fatty acids are associated with less cognitive decline over a three-year period.

Salmon, mackerel, trout, tuna, chicken and turkey breast all contain omega-3 fatty acids, which have been linked to lower blood levels of betaamyloid, a protein that clusters in the brain and contributes to Alzheimer’s disease.

Leafy greens are linked to brain health because they have antioxidantrich nutrients like folate and vitamin E, which protects brain cells from free radical damage. Folate deficiency is associated with depression and dementia.

In addition, whole grains contain vitamin B1, which helps protect against memory loss and confusion.

Beans are also a good source of B vitamins, which help cells produce energy and form neurotransmitters in the brain.

The bottom line: We need to think about what we’re eating to stave off not only Alzheimer’s but also diabetes, heart disease and even cancer. What we put into our mouths truly makes a difference.

Q and A Q: Should I eat protein after I exercise?

A: After exercise, protein synthesis causes our muscles to increase in size and strength. Dietary protein supports muscle growth, according to Roger Fielding, director of the

36 June 11, 2020 DuluthReader.com

Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University. Muscles are more sensitive to dietary protein after exercise. Rates of muscle protein synthesis seem to increase to a greater extent if you consume protein within four hours after exercising. Getting adequate protein throughout the day rather than in one meal is the best way to preserve muscle mass and support growth from exercise.

RECIPE

Here’s a great summer salad to beat the heat and add to your daily intake of antioxidants. It’s from Eating Well magazine.

QUINOA SALAD 3 cups water 1 1/2 cups quinoa 1/3 cup pepitas

1/3 cup raw sunflower seeds 6 tablespoons red-wine vinegar 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup or honey 1 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper 1/2 medium head radicchio, coarsely chopped 1 cup coarsely grated carrots 1/2 cup dried apricots, coarsely chopped Combine water and quinoa in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to maintain a simmer. Cover, and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain any remaining liquid, and spread the quinoa on a rimmed baking sheet to cool completely, about 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, toast pepitas in a medium skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently for 1 minute. Add sunflower seeds, and cook, stirring frequently, until deep golden, about 4 minutes.

Transfer to a plate to cool. Whisk vinegar, oil, maple syrup (or honey), salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add the cooled quinoa, radicchio, carrots and apricots; stir to combine. Just before serving, top the salad with the pepitas and sunflower seeds. Serves 8.

Killing weeds without Roundup In 1970, John Franz, a chemist for Monsanto, discovered that the chemical glyphosate is a potent herbicide that kills just about every kind of plant material imaginable. In no time, the company gave its miracle weed killer the by brand name Roundup.

Farmers, especially, went wild for Roundup. Just one problem: It was nearly impossible to kill the weeds without also killing their crops. So Monsanto sent its chemists back to work to develop glyphosate-resistant, or “Roundup ready crops” that have had their DNA altered (genetically modified or GMO) to allow them to be immune to glyphosate. Now farmers could spray with abandon.

There are some who say that glyphosate causes cancer in animals, and most likely humans, too. They

EVERYDAY CHEAPSKATE MARY HUNT

insist that the side effects of long-term GMO food consumption are producing serious health risks for all living things. Despite all of this controversy and outcry about issues surrounding Roundup and GMO crops, so far the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has not forced Roundup off the market. It’s a hot-button issue, that’s for sure.

There is one provable and very compelling reason to not buy Roundup: It’s too expensive! Even if it were proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that Roundup is safe as water, I still wouldn’t shell out the high price for the stuff. I kill weeds like crazy with kitchen pantry items that are really cheap and non-toxic: white vinegar, ordinary table salt, and dishwashing liquid.

First I will give you the ingredients, followed by two Weed Killer recipes using them: White vinegar: Ordinary distilled white vinegar with 5% acidity is cheap and works great. If you can find a higher acidity even up to 20%, it is going to work faster, but the end results

will be the same.

Table salt: Use the cheapest kind of salt you can find in the supermarket – NOT sea salt, rock salt, Epsom salts (Epsom salt, chemically, is not even close to table salt, trust me on that) or anything fancy. Just cheap iodized or un-iodized generic salt also known as sodium chloride (NaCl).

Dishwashing liquid: You will be using only a few drops, so the brand doesn’t matter. The purpose of the soap is to break the surface tension of the vinegar so it sticks to the weeds, forcing them to absorb it more readily.

If you have weeds in areas you want to replant, do this: Fill an ordinary garden sprayer with white vinegar and add about one teaspoon liquid dishwashing soap like blue Dawn or Meyer’s Clean Day. Apply sprayer top and follow the instructions on the sprayer to get it ready to spray. That’s it. Seriously, it is that simple.

Pick a hot, dry day to spray weeds until saturated, and they will wilt and shrivel up within hours so be careful to not spray anything you want to live. However, do not worry about the

vinegar killing anything below the soil.

Because vinegar will not harm the soil, you can safely replant the area once the weeds have died.

To kill all vegetation in walkways, driveways and other areas where you don’t want any living thing to grow again, mix two cups ordinary table salt with one gallon of white vinegar.

Do this in a container that is larger than one-gallon capacity so you have room for the salt. Apply the lid and shake to dissolve the salt. Salt dissolves more quickly in vinegar than in water, but it takes a bit of doing. It may not completely dissolve, but that’s okay.

Add 1 teaspoon of liquid dishwashing soap (this is to break the surface tension of the mixture so it will stick to the plant material you’ll be killing). Pour into an ordinary garden sprayer. Apply to weeds or grass on a dry, sunny day to areas you don’t want to see vegetation of any kind.

These homemade weed killer recipes are not only cheap, but both are also completely nontoxic to humans and animals.

16-ounce can four-packs.

It pours a dark amber with a tawny and white head. It looks like it could be an English brown ale.

The malt/hop balance is brilliant, with a pleasant, lingering hop finish that sort of acts as a palate cleanser between sips.

Utepils doesn’t mention the grain bill on its website, but I wonder if they use a touch of rye. There is a slight spiciness in the Alt 1848 malt that I associate with rye.

While that is not a traditional component of an alt grain bill, I would applaud them for using rye, if that is in fact what I am tasting.

Whatever the grain bill, it is a lipsmacking loveliness that, as I already mentioned, ends with a snap of its 50 IBU hoppiness.

And perhaps that spiciness I’m tasting is coming from the hops, which also are not named on the Utepils website. Could they have used the notably spicy Saaz hops, a variety most closely associated with Czech pilsner?

More likely they used a German hop variety known as Spalt, an aroma hop known for its slightly spicy character.

Yes, I’m going with that rather than rye in the grain bill.

King of Cornas Unlike many of the winemaking elites of the French wine industry, Jean-Luc Colombo was not born into the business.

While growing up in the Mediterranean port city of by Marseille, France, Colombo was surrounded by chefs, particularly his mother and grandmother. He envisioned a career in a professional kitchen.

“But my family said no, no, no,” Colombo remembers with a chuckle and a smile. He was pushed instead to study pharmacy at the University of Montpelier. Colombo took his studies seriously and earned a degree, but his interest in a culinary career did not die. He also took classes in enology and developed a passion for wine.

“It was a natural transition from food to wine,” he said.

Armed with a degree in pharmacy, Colombo and his wife set out in the early 1980s to establish a pharmacy, eventually landing in the village of Cornas in France’s northern Rhone Valley, albeit on the wrong side (or so many thought) of the Rhone River. The location was ideal, for Colombo was avidly pursuing a career as a consulting enologist at the same time, and the wines of Cornas were in need of repair.

He opened an enology lab in Cornas, and the rest is history. In 1986, Colombo purchased his own vineyards and launched the winery that bears his name, becoming over a few short years “the most loved and the most hated” winemaker in the Rhone Valley, in his own words.

Colombo is now revered, but that was not always so. He arrived in the Rhone Valley with fresh ideas about viticulture and winemaking.

His modern ideas clashed with the traditional methods, and there were some who thought Colombo would rob the Rhone of its regional character.

The reality, of course, is another story. The wines of the northern Rhone, particularly Cornas, were stuck in a time warp — rustic, requiring extended aging in the cellar and often

quite unpleasant in “off” vintages.

Colombo promoted better practices in the vineyard, took advantage of the southeastern exposure of the steep slopes of Cornas (the southernmost AOC of the northern Rhone) and cleaned up the winemaking with modern techniques and new oak.

In short order, by producing elegant red wines (100% syrah by law) from land that had been overlooked or shunned in favor of the more glamorous AOC vineyards of Cote-Rotie and Hermitage, Colombo came to be the king of Cornas. I am reminded of this often when I visit the region, for other winemakers of Cornas are eager to impress by establishing their vineyards in proximity to those of Jean-Luc Colombo.

Colombo is fond of crafting cuvees from separate areas of his vineyards, which he names. The most impressive to me is La Louvee (The She Wolf), made from 75-year-old vines. I have a number of bottles of this wine from the 2001 vintage in my cellar, and they remain youthful and powerful.

The 2010, which I tasted recently, is cut from the same cloth, a powerful Cornas that will blossom over time.

His 2010 Les Ruchets (The Beehives) is another Cornas that fits his profile: powerful and complex, packed with layers of black currant and blueberry fruit but decidedly not overripe.

Colombo is mindful of balance, walking the fine line between power and elegance.

It is for that reason his Chateauneufdu-Pape (from purchased grapes) leans more heavily on syrah than grenache in the blend. “Grenache gives too much alcohol,” he notes.

The early vintages of Jean-Luc Colombo wines were far from expensive, but his growing stature over the years has allowed him to command top dollar for La Louvee and Les Ruchets (about $85 per bottle retail).

Other Jean-Luc Colombo wines, made with the same dedication to quality and specifically to be food-friendly, can be had for as little as $12.

The 2011 Les Abeilles (The Bees) Cote du Rhone rouge, a blend of grenache, syrah and mourvedre, is a tremendous value at $12.99, and the 2012 Cape Bleue Rose from Provence is delightful at $12.99.

The king of Cornas may not have

been born into the wine business, but he gets most of the credit for breathing life into a small but important slice of the wine world that was once given up for dead.

Mistaken identity NATURAL CONNECTIONS by

EMILY

STONE

Spring beauty flowers often grown under maple trees (flower), which is why I so easily assumed the narrow leaves (lower right) belonged to them…instead of the trees themselves. Photos by Emily Stone.

Everyone makes mistakes, right?

I’ve had a little more time than usual this spring to walk slowly with my camera in the woods, and my focus has zoomed in on smaller and smaller things.

Naturally, I’m not always great at identifying these overlooked underdogs correctly on the first try.

Show me three giant white petals rising above three big green leaves, and I can recognize a trillium with a single glance, from 40 feet away.

Show me the quarter-inch-tall, reproductive structure of a primitive plant, and that’s a different story.

Early in April, while snow still covered more than half the ground, I started going for lunchtime walks to stretch my eyes as much as my legs. I’d been consoling myself about the lack of travel opportunities by deciding that the lockdown was as good excuse to finally explore more thoroughly around my own woodsy neighborhood.

A patch of sunlight highlighted a mossy log – wet and happy from moisture provided by the melting snow – tucked into a little hollow near a hemlock tree.

I’m a sucker for happy moss, so I knelt down with my camera on its macro setting to capture the shimmers and sparkles…and found a tiny forest of translucent trunks topped by smooth, brown caps. An understory of tiny green leaves carpeted this magical fairy forest.

Moss is a non-flowering plant that reproduces using spores. Those spores are born in capsules, perched atop stalks called setae, and that whole reproductive structure is called a sporophyte. These were the youngest sporophytes I’d ever seen, and they glowed so beautifully that I had to post them to social media.

At first everyone commented about the beautiful moss, but then my friend Patrick Leacock, a brilliant mycologist, had a hunch, did some research, and

40 June 11, 2020 DuluthReader.com

changed his identification to leafy liverwort.

Liverworts are another type of primitive plant. Like mosses, they reproduce using spores and absorb water directly into their leaves instead of transporting it through a vascular system.

Mosses and liverworts both prefer moist habitats, and often can be found living side by side.

I went back the next day and looked closer. Indeed, the green parts around the base of the translucent stalks had a vaguely scaled appearance – a trademark of liverworts. Some larger types of liverworts look like lizard skin.

In addition to the pattern of the leaves, I also discovered that a few of the dark capsules had ruptured along four seams and peeled open to release their spores. The cup-shaped capsules of mosses usually release spores through a lid, and then remain standing above the moss carpet.

Although that mossy log has since

dried out, I think about the liverworts who live there each time I zoom past, and am glad I took the time to look closer.

About a month later, I spent an entire afternoon looking closely at spring wildflowers on the trail to St. Peter’s Dome. I’d been worried I was going to miss my favorite flowers, and instead found that I was on the early side for many.

Trillium buds were tightly closed, and many plants were just a tightly furled spike of green.

One slope in particular sticks out in my memory for having an absolute carpet of spring beauties each spring.

But as I hiked past, all I saw were the pairs of narrow green leaves with reddish stems poking up through the thick carpet of last year’s maple leaves.

Not a single delicate white flower with pink stripes on its five petals bloomed up at me.

Finding microclimates is one of the joys of searching out spring

ephemerals. It’s such a thrill to find that south-facing slope with the very first blossom when all else is still drab and brown.

And it’s almost as exciting, weeks later, to stumble upon one final flower still blooming in the cool shade of a north-facing hollow.

So, as I mentioned in last week’s article, I wasn’t surprised that this patch was so far behind, while others were in full swing. I snapped a quick photo for reference, and then focused my camera on more colorful things.

Closer to home, I started noticing those same tiny pairs of leaves in new places. I’d never known that spring beauties grew there…or there…or there…and then I found those same paired leaves sprouting from the landscaping rocks near my front door.

Spring beauties require rich, loamy soils. Not rocky fill. Something wasn’t right…

Suddenly, my thoughts fell into place and I gave a little exclamation of surprise and delight for figuring out this puzzle. Last fall had been a mast year – a bumper crop of seeds and nuts – for many species. Including sugar maples. I dug around a bit and found maple seeds galore, sprouted and un-

sprouted, some with their husk still clinging to a narrow pair of leaves.

Of course. Spring beauties almost always grow among sugar maples on the richest sites, but sugar maples can survive in a broader spectrum of soil types, too. Now knowing that these were sugar maple babies, I was in awe of their abundance. Surely some will escape predation and become trees!

So, yes, I make mistakes in identification. But I often remember what I learn from those mistakes a lot more fondly than uneventful identifications. Maybe I should go out and make some more!

Sports can lead us above horror of racism The sports world, like every other facet of daily life, has been consumed by the unfolding tragedy of the death of George Floyd, the Minneapolis man who died right there on our television sets two by weeks ago while having his final breaths squeezed out of him by a Minneapolis policeman, whose knee forcefully pinned his neck to the pavement.

It almost seems like fate has conspired to make sure we saw it all graphically, just by the timing of the

coronavirus pandemic that has swept the world and forced businesses, entertainment sources, and all sports to simply close down while we try to cope with the deadly virus. That has caused everyone to pay closer attention to newscasts and news stations, which, in turn, led directly to the horrifying reality of an unarmed black man in Minneapolis being accosted by four policemen and eventually pinned down with his hands handcuffed behind his back. The four policemen held him down and defenseless, with one of them, Derek Chauvin, taking charge by jamming his knee on the side of George’s neck. He held firmly for 8 minutes and 46 seconds, rejecting some pleas from fellow-officers and bystanders, as well as George’s pleading that he couldn’t breathe, as he took his final breath and died.

John Gilbert

For all the world to see.

The incident became the focal point for the city, the state, the nation, and the entire world as a shocking testimony to police brutality and excessive use of physical force that has become a sickening trend in the relationship between mostly-armed white policemen and mostly-unarmed black citizens.

The sorrow and disgust that has swept over us has been something we’ve grown shockingly accustomed to in recent years, although this one was different. Like almost all the others, the police report said the victim was “resisting arrest,” but this time a courageous 17-year-old girl captured the entire drama on her cell phone video, proving conclusively there was nothing resembling resisting arrest.

Turns out, when the police report claims resisting arrest, it’s a major cop-out, so to speak, that allows, by definition, the policemen to use as much force for as long as they feel it’s necessary. It is a license for the most macho and aggressive of cops to go crazy on their victims. Maybe they are over-aggressive to begin with, maybe they want to show how tough they are and they can show it more readily if armed with a handgun and a baton.

Whatever, it is just one of the elements of our society that needs to be changed. And it appears that the widespread reaction of protests that often became costly with damage, looting and fires, in cities all across the country, makes this time different.

Change may be coming, this time.

Change has to be coming, this time.

We have been living under the cloak of racism all of our lives, from the days of settlers trying to exterminate Native Americans, to the slavery issue that led to the Civil War, where the Confederacy wanted to maintain slavery and the Union side of the North striving to make everyone free.

We also know, of course, that it never really made everyone free.

The white power base still stifles and controls Native Americans, and prevents African-Americans from attaining anything close to equality of education, job potential, lifestyle, and even freedom to live where they’d like.

It is the world of sports, ironically, that affords the closest thing to equality and the recognition of potential for all races, and while politicians wrangle over how to revise and retrain police departments and attitudes, we can patiently await the resumption of sports to lead the way.

As a kid growing up in Duluth, we rarely saw any blacks on our sports teams or in our schools. I remember one older black kid who was a great running back in high school. In our junior high class at Washington, we had a lanky, athletic black kid named Duane Dew in my homeroom, where we also had another white kid who was a good back-alley basketball player.

I was a timid little guy, but I could shoot with great accuracy from the corners. The other two would carry our attack, and if they ever got stymied, they’d throw it to me in the corner and I’d drill a shot. We won the entire homeroom basketball tournament championship, to everyone’s amazement.

Transferring from UMD to the University of Minnesota six years later, it was impressive to watch Sandy Stephens at quarterback, and Bobby Bell and Carl Eller play defense, and I was too naive, or just unaware, to realize they were the breakthrough first black athletes Murray Warmath imported from the South.

The Gophers had a strong basketball team too, and I was particularly interested because Terry Kunze, also from Duluth Central, brought his state championship form to college.

The Gophers also had a big kid named Mel Northway at center, and they also had three black kids – Lou Hudson, Don Yates and Archie Clark – who came in and gave the team an outstanding starting five.

Again, I was too naive at the time to realize those were the first three black basketball players recruited to Minnesota by legendary coach John Kundla.

I got to know Clark much better because in the summer, I had been lured to play Park National baseball for a team, and the manager also recruited Clark to play, so we were teammates.

It was a lot of fun, and I remember it

vividly.

When he became a star in the NBA, I always figured I might run into him, and I might have, if I hadn’t become so consumed by hockey.

Think how pro sports and college sports have evolved since the 1960s.

These days, a black athlete might still undergo racism and subtle types of discrimination, but they also are revered and held up high by sports fans of all colors. Same with football, where speedy running backs, receivers and great physical specimens in the line are almost all black college stars.

Quarterbacks are more rare, but Russell Wilson is my favorite, and look around at the expanding world that includes Pat Mahomes and Colin Kaepernick.

Oops!

That’s right. Kaepernick, who is black, had the audacity to kneel during the National Anthem while starting at quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers. That shocked us all, and he was either supported or scorned throughout the country.

The insults won, and he has been blacklisted by a league that could clearly still profit by his talent.

Even Kaepernick seems to have a chance again, in the aftermath of all the tributes and heartfelt apologies coming from every class of bight up to and including the NFL hierarchy.

You can salute the flag and the anthem to show your patriotism, but it’s not mandatory, and you also can express your feeling for social inequality by taking a knee.

The predominant black players in the NBA are offset by the stillrare black players amid the white dominated NHL. But in both cases, they are exalted, compared to the average citizen.

Soccer, too, is well integrated in most countries.

In fact, as we get ready to resume pro sports, even in stadiums bereft of fans, we can only imagine how things might have played out differently if Chauvin, the cop being tried for second-degree murder, and George, the 6-foot-6 black victim, had their confrontation in sports. Let’s see George go up for a lob pass or a rebound while Chauvin, without his gun, baton and backup, went up to defend.

Better yet, if they played on the same baseball team and Chauvin was a second baseman who hits .213 and bats ninth, while George hits 40 home runs and bats clean-up. Which of them, in that case, would get more respect from the fans, and the management. Ah, if only…

The reality is harshly different,

One of three billboards that were in Duluth in 2010. of course. The nationwide, and worldwide, protests also touched down in Duluth, although the protesters were well-behaved, and the police were too. We hope what happened in Minneapolis can affect us positively.

But we can’t be sure.

When we first moved back to Duluth, almost 20 years ago now, there was an interesting campaign where a couple of billboards were strategically placed in Duluth, and read: “It’s hard to see racism when you’re white.”

I thought it was a thought-provoking commentary. True, those of us who are white tend to dismiss racism accusations because we can’t ever imagine what people of color go through. Unless we could walk a mile in their moccasins, as they say, we never will be as sensitive to it. But the sign was great for stimulating thought.

Unfortunately, some folks were outraged by the sign. We don’t have any racism, I could almost hear them say. And the billboards came down.

Maybe it’s time to put them up again, to free us to do a little thinking.

to mention the tentacles of Corporate America siphoning off of the people’s treasury at an alarming rate. They hardly need it.

This is what happens though when inequality rules the day. And it is in full command here in the United States of Scam-erica.

Not only are people of color getting jacked here 24/7, the working class in general are the victims of wanton elitist greed on a daily basis. Of course, neither the Republican or Democratic partys are going to fix this for the better, their elitist paymasters have seen to that.

Some of us do well, the upper occupations and trades available here provide for higher level compensation and benefits for at least some of the working class. But make no mistake, the upper 10 percent of the wealth holders here are in full control, and the results have been a total fucking disaster. Sorry, not sorry, I do not know how else to put it.

I dream of the day that my fellow citizens might wake up and unite against this travesty of total dysfunction that rules over us, thinking that government was supposed to help ALL of us obtain smoother, if not better lives, but that’s been hijacked by wealthy sociopaths and it is becoming increasingly harder for us to think that we could pry it away from them anytime soon.

At the end of this debacle will the late Floyd receive the justice he should? Frankly, I’ll be surprised if that happens in a country with a justice system that has one set of rules for the elites, who flaunt that on a regular basis, to those of the working class, who will normally pay the full price for their transgressions, particularly if they are black and poor. The police have been granted their own immunity over many decades, usually given a pass by a derelict judicial system.

For me, I would never do this, because I believe in non-violence, but I dream of a drive out to D.C. to grab the maniac in the Oval Office by that critter on top of his head and drag him out onto Pennsylvania Avenue, throw him to the ground, place my knee upon his neck ala Derek Chauvin and tell him he has 60 seconds to resign and also to offer up the resignations of his entire cabinet, staff and any other of his misguided enablers.

Does that sound harsh?

Well, unlike George Floyd he would still be alive after having agreed to my command. The Founding Fathers would be applauding me from their graves. They would say I’ve fulfilled my duties as a patriotic American.

Then I’d quietly return home to meditate upon that currently unfulfilled phrase of “Liberty and Justice for all”… PEACE

Updates on the NHL’s return to the ice PIKE LAKE…After agreeing to a basic framework for a Stanley Cup Tournament to conclude the most unusual NHL season in my lifetime, the league and the NHLPA have reached an agreement regarding the protocols to be put in place for a return to practice, leading up to the tourney which it now appears will commence in late July.

The most recent detail to be worked out by the two parties was by an agreement that all series will be in a best of seven format, per usual NHL procedures.

All teams were allowed to open their practice facilities on Monday, June 8, with strict testing and sanitation procedures in place.

Upon opening, practices will be voluntary and geared to individualized training activities. That applies to on and off ice. Workouts and practices will be of no more than six players at a time. There will be limited staff involved, and any local or state mandates and rules will supercede the NHL’s plans, which will be known as Phase 2.

The opening of training camps will be phase 3 and this will commence on or around July 10.

Phase 4 will be the start of the qualifying round for the Cup tourney, and the official start date will be finalized in the very near future.

Before any player or staff member can do anything relative to their work as a player or staff member, they must undergo a 14 day quarantine.

Some players have stayed in their teams home city while others found ways to return to their off-season homes and locales. It is believed that these players will begin to reassemble back in their team locations beginning on the 8th.

The actual date for a team to declare that their practice facilities are ready and open is up to each individual club, and they can’t open until they have checked each box on the leagues preparation and readiness list.

No teams believe all of their players will be at their facilities on the same day, thinking the players will filter in as they feel ready to go.

Additionally, whether in a facility for

MASKED FAN

a workout or skating session, players and staff will only be allowed to be at that facility for a specific amount of time per day.

I feel that with it being summer I’m not certain what kind of viewership the tourney will receive. The diehards such as myself will be locked on to it per usual, but I’m not sure how casual fans will adapt to this.

My favorites are still Tampa from the

East and Colorado from the West.

As a hockey maniac I can’t wait for this to start.

As for the local Minnesota Wild, I’m not quite sure how to handicap their chances. They drew Vancouver for the opening round, and I think they could have a better than even chance of winning that series given all of the data and circumstances.

Beyond that, it will be a roll of the

dice.

And for any “older” more veteran rosters that will be coming in cold after an almost five-month layoff, make it a double roll. Either way I can’t wait!

It will be excellent to see the greatest league in the world back at it… PEACE

Cheeky Alex Masmej of Paris, France, is a 23-year-old with a strong sense of selfworth. So strong, in fact, that he sold shares of himself via an initial coin offering, or ICO, in April. Masmej sold tokens, called $ALEX, to 30 investors, raising more than $20,000, which he plans to use to move to San Francisco.

Investors in $ALEX reportedly receive a share of any money he makes over the next three years, up to $100,000; a vote on some of his life decisions; and promotion from Masmej on his social media channels, Decrypt reported. (He has a whopping 3,200 followers on Twitter and 517 on Instagram.) “Since there are no legal contracts,” Masmej said, “I can technically run away with the money.” But he won’t because “it will hurt my reputation amongst those very people I need help from.

Nacho Vidal, a porn star, was charged with manslaughter relating to the death of fashion photographer Jose Luis Abad last year at Vidal’s country residence.

Lee Ann Phelps, vehicle services manager for the Kansas Department of Revenue, told Fox4 she doesn’t know why the state uses identical numbers, but there are about 625,000 plates in the state that share a number. Kansas has issued a new license for the truck, but in the meantime, the bills continue. Dearth most recently got a letter from the Delaware Turnpike Authority seeking $479. [Fox4, 5/27/2020] Bird Brain Security agencies in India thought they may have captured a Pakistani spy after villagers in Manyari, a bor-der town in the disputed region of Kashmir, delivered the courier to police, but the mole wasn’t a mole at all; it was a pigeon. According to Sky News, Kathua Police Superintendent Shailendra

Mishra said the bird flew into a home on May 24 and a “ring was seen attached to one of its legs with some numbers on it ... Some called it a coded message.” Authorities are trying to decipher the message, as pigeons have been used for espionage in the disputed region in the past. Meanwhile, the BBC reports that a Pakistani man named Habibullah is claiming the pigeon is his, and the number on the ring is his mobile phone number. Habibullah, who lives just a few miles from the India/Pakistan border, has asked for the pigeon’s return and told local media India should “refrain from victimizing innocent birds.” [Sky News, 5/26/2020] [BBC, 5/27/2020] Monkey Business Egyptian talk show host Lobna Asal abruptly fled the studio mid-interview on May 27 after being attacked by the monkey brought to the set by her interview subject, actor Ibrahim ElSamman, United Press International reported. Appearing on Egyptian channel Al Hayat, the monkey costarred with El-Samman on his latest project, and at first settled in Asal’s lap for several minutes, calmly listening to the conversation, but then jumped down and attacked her legs. [United Press International, 5/27/2020] Another Job Threatened Massachusetts-based Boston Dynamics has partnered with the New Zealand robotics company Rocos to develop a robotic dog, Spot, to herd sheep. The dog can be controlled remotely as it guides sheep through mountainous and difficult terrain, according to the company. In other words, they act like sheep.

Inexplicable A Facebook group called “A group where we all pretend to be ants in an ant colony” began March with around 100,000 members, reported NBC. Then the world locked down, and membership soared to more than 1.7 million. Started by Tyrese Childs, 20, of Fargo, ND, the group’s purpose is to serve their fictional queen and search out food for her, and it is one of roughly 70 role-playing groups on Facebook. Members of the ant colony can post photos about being ants and others join in by commenting with terms such as “MUNCH” and “LIFT.” One post featuring a photo of ice cream with ants crawling on it invited

“It demands great spiritual resilience not to hate the hater whose foot is on your neck, and an even greater miracle of perception and charity not to teach your child to hate.”

James Baldwin, The Fire Next Time “To refuse to listen to someone’s cries for justice and equality until the request comes in a language you feel comfortable with is a way of asserting your dominance over them in the situation.”

Ijeoma Oluo, So You Want to Talk About Race “The opposite of racist isn’t ‘not racist.’

It is ‘anti-racist.’ What’s the difference?

One endorses either the idea of a racial hierarchy as a racist, or racial equality as an anti-racist. One either believes problems are rooted in groups of people, as a racist, or locates the roots of problems in power and policies, as an anti-racist. One either allows racial inequities to persevere, as a racist, or confronts racial inequities, as an antiracist. There is no in-between safe space of ‘not racist.’”

Ibram X. Kendi, How to Be an Antiracist “We have no right to sit silently by while the inevitable seeds are sown for a harvest of disaster to our children, black and white.”

W.E.B. Du Bois, The Souls of Black Folk “To be white is to be human; to be white is universal. I only know this because I am not.”

Reni Eddo-Lodge, Why I’m No Longer Talking to White People About Race “It will take spiritual fortitude – followed by focused, strategic action – to win the fight against White supremacy.”

Akiba Solomon, How We Fight White Supremacy: A Field Guide to Black Resistance “I am an invisible man. No, I am not a spook like those who haunted Edgar Allan Poe; nor am I one of your Hollywood-movie ectoplasms. I am a man of substance, of flesh and bone, fiber and liquids -- and I might even be said to possess a mind. I am invisible, understand, simply because people refuse to see me.”

Ralph Ellison, Invisible Man “My music is the spiritual expression of what I am — my faith, my knowledge, my being...When you begin to see the possibilities of music, you desire to do something really good for people, to help humanity free itself from its hangups...I want to speak to their souls.”

John Coltrane, Coltrane on Coltrane “The caged bird sings with a fearful trill, of things unknown, but longed for still, and his tune is heard on the distant hill, for the caged bird sings of freedom.”

Maya Angelou, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings “In the eyes of the vast majority of white Americans, the refusal of the southern states to fully free or enfranchise former slaves and their descendants was not an issue worthy of any further disruption to the civil stability of the United States. Black Americans were exchanged for a sense of white security.”

Douglas A. Blackmon, Slavery by Another Name: The Re-Enslavement of Black Americans from the Civil War to World War II “I saw all races, all colors, blue eyed blonds to black skinned Africans in true brotherhood! In unity! Living as one! Worshiping as one! No segregationists, no liberals; they would

The duality of Gemini: May 20-June 20 Gemini is the quintessential human sign, for it seems to sum up qualities that are the distinguishing hallmarks of the human race – intelligence (Gemini is an air sign), adaptability (Gemini is a mutable sign) and communicativeness (Gemini is ruled by Mercury).

Gemini people don’t just sit back and watch the world go by They are curious about everything and must be part of the busy scene. If all the world’s a stage, Gemini is the actor on that stage – think Marilyn Monroe, Clint Eastwood and Bob Hope (all Geminis).

Unlike Leo, who wants to be the star, Gemini wants to play all the parts, direct, produce and be the stagehand!

Gemini is the epitome of the split personality: bright, communicative and sociable one minute; distracted and offhand the next. That’s not to say all Geminis are Jekyll-and-Hydes, but this sign embodies the duality of human nature the most. This explains the symbol of the Twins. Gemini must bridge the opposite within itself: light and dark, intuition and reason, the mind and the emotions, the spiritual and material.

As a classic example of this, I give you the Marquis de Sade (a Gemini).

Known for his libertine sexuality, he of course, couldn’t leave it there. He expanded into depraved, erotic works, blatant pornography and sexual fantasy with an emphasis on immorality and sadism – sorta sounds like by a Catholic priest. Funny, he ever wrote blasphemy against that very church and its depravity as well.

Another great dual personality Gemini is Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator and writer of the Sherlock Holmes mysteries. Sherlock, who some say embodies all the Gemini traits of Doyle himself, helped to revolutionize the forensics field, bringing to light intuition and reason in a crime scene investigation. Holmes wrestles with his mind and his emotions and exemplifies the struggling Gemini nature, caught between worlds of logic and reason and feeling like he doesn’t belong.

Gemini’s fickle nature also tends to arouse unexpected anger in others, the depth of which Geminis often misjudge. A great example of this is George Bush, reviled and hated by many, misunderstood and demonized by the rest.

The internet is, and was, ablaze with stories bout the man that were largely

“Gemini,” plate 18 in Urania’s Mirror, a set of celestial cards accompanied

by A familiar treatise on astronomy by Jehoshaphat Aspin, 1825.

untrue, and unresearched, but the notions stuck, because of his attitudes and demeanor, his cavalier nature and inability to express himself well to his detractors.

If George Bush were writing this next part, it would go something like this: “Geminators have the gift of gab.

They can sometimes be fast talkers and can easily pull the wool out of your eyeballs using their astute verbal trickification.” Poor George, a Gemini in training.

This Air sign is a free spirit trapped in the physical world. Marilyn Monroe embodied this fragility, this temporary impermanence. As if we all knew she wouldn’t be with us long. Same holds true of John F. Kennedy, a reformer, an idealist, a Gemini multitasker, eloquent and charming, a classic!

The eternal child is an apt description of the Gemini nature – think Gene Wilder and the Willy Wonka character.

“There is no life I know to compare with pure imagination.”

“We are the music makers...and we are the dreamers of dream – Willy Wonka (Gene Wilder).

Their positive thirst for knowledge and childlike curiosity keeps the Gemini young at heart even when they grow old. Bob Hope, the comedian, is a great example. Entertaining us for decades, still lampooning politics and our society’s idiosyncracies. Some Geminis remain childish throughout their lives, refusing to grow up and take responsibility for themselves. This can result in addictions and the feeling of being “stuck” in the past, the “glory” days, so to speak.

WHAT’S YOUR SIGN?

Judy Garland struggled with this her entire troubled career, ever stuck in the public’s vision of her as the dreamer Dorothy Gale in The Wizard of Oz. Gemini is the sign of relationships, and because they are born under the sign of the Twins, Geminis may spend their whole lives searching for a soul mate, never realizing that the person they are looking for is inside them.

This truly is the story of Dorothy.

All she needed to do was want to go home. This is the conundrum for this

particular sign of the zodiac. Not ones to question their own motives, it often takes a difficult or painful experience to force them to look at and become conscious of their own intentions. The challenge for Gemini is to combine their rational mind with their intuitive faculties, so that they are drawing to the full on all of their mental abilities.

Even though Sir Arthur Conan Doyle created Sherlock Holmes and revolutionized the field of crime scene investigations, he also believed in fairies. The Cottingley Fairy photographs involved in the infamous 1917 hoax caused Doyle to spend millions promoting fairies. He even wrote a book about them in 1921 called The Coming of the Fairies.

I close with that bit of information to let you know that the true Gemini is a complex individual, town between the duality of is nature – but what a beautiful humanity to that very being.

A scientists with a soul. Later...

Four classic Brit comedies recovering rapidly.

Beyond Jack Warner’s cast-againsttype role as the cackling secret head of the criminal enterprise, Sim gives the most interesting performance, though limited to one big scene and two short ones later. The quirky writer Yet another excellent boxed set of is delighted to welcome his juvenile classic British films – Alastair Sim’s fans, offering them ginger pop and School for Laughter: 4 Classic Comedies is delighted to share details about his a title that’s a bit misleading.

payoff of Agnes coming to realize just how cruel she’s been toward others.

The film’s other claim to fame is the brief appearance of Audrey Hepburn, who has a couple of lines and scenes as a pretty cigarette girl. Though given an “and introducing” credit her part is tiny and, in any case, she had similar bit parts in films before this.

The Belles of St. Trinian’s was a big success, leading to four sequels produced in the next quarter-century, and a reboot beginning in 2007.

Adapted from Ronald Searle’s satirical cartoons, the movie revolves around efforts to keep the Barchester-based private girls school solvent, despite its hellion student body and disreputable staff.

Sim plays both headmistress Millicent Fritton and her bookmaker twin brother Clarence, each short on cash and deeply in debt. Millicent conspires to steal the spending money of Fatima, newly-arrived Princess; while Clarence becomes involved with a plot concerning the Sultan’s racehorse, which the girls eventually hide in their dormitory.

A subplot has a policewoman (Joyce Grenfell, Sim’s fiancée in Laughter in Paradise) working undercover as a teacher, hoping to expose the school’s misdeeds, including using the science laboratory to produce homemade gin, which former bootblack Flash Harry (George Cole) sells on the side.

The picture works best in its broad-ly colorful characterizations, like mon-

ocle-wearing science teacher Miss Wilson (Beryl Reid). Indeed, so does the picture overflow with cartoonish types many recognizable talents barely have any lines.

Among those in the blink-and-you’llmiss-them cast: Hermione Baddeley, Renée Houston, Irene Handl and Joan Sims as teachers, Michael Ripper as a jockey, Sid James as a racing associate and, though I didn’t spot them, Dilys Lane and Barbara Windsor as teenagers.

Even Searle has an unbilled cameo.

School for Scoundrels (with the onscreen subtitle Or How to Win Without Actually Cheating is by all odds the best film of the set, as well as providing Sim with one of his best film roles. Adapted from Stephen Potter’s popular Gamesmanship books, the movie stars Ian Carmichael as Henry Palfrey, who enrolls in the “School of Lifesmanship” in Yeovil, founded by eccentric Dr. Potter (Sim). The school’s purpose is to train young men the science of always being “one up” on one’s opponents, i.e., the art of making others feel inferior.

In flashbacks Henry explains to Dr. Potter the circumstances that brought him there. Henry is in love with April Smith (Janette Scott), but at a swanky, pretentious restaurant they run into an old acquaintance of Henry’s, Raymond Delauney (Terry-Thomas), who painfully muscles in on Henry’s romance, mercilessly embarrassing him over dinner while impressing April with his supposed worldliness and fancy sports car.

Henry hopes to impress April by buying a car of his own, but two slippery salesmen (Dennis Price and Peter Jones) sell him a garish lemon, a 1924 “Swiftmobile,” which strike April and Raymond as pathetic instead of posh. At the school Henry is taught all manner of ingenious tricks of the trade, which he then applies against Raymond (and the car salesmen) in the second-half of the story.

Terry-Thomas delivers what may be the defining performance of his film career, a role that forever typecast him as cads, rakes, and bounders, and indeed he’s mesmerizing in his passiveaggressive awfulness. But Sim is equally delightful. Watching him study Henry like a microscope slide and subtly demonstrate his one-upsmanship skills is a big part of the film’s fun.

This free interactive online live stream will feature memorable past Main Stage performances including artists such as Sheryl Crow, Brandi Carlile and City and Colour as well as exclusive new performances by Vance Joy, William Prince, Tash Sultana and much more.

“The cancellation of our festival was heartbreaking for us and so many in our community, so we wanted to create an opportunity to commemorate the festival weekend and celebrate from the comfort and safety of our homes and yards,” said Lynne Skromeda, executive director. “It’s also a great chance for those who’ve never been to the Winnipeg Folk Fest to have a taste of our unique festival experience and virtually transport them to Birds Hill Provincial Park from wherever they may be.”

As an interactive component to the live stream, the Winnipeg Folk Festival is encouraging viewers to engage their creativity by hosting their own miniFolk Fests in their homes, backyards, cottages and campsites this year. There will be plenty of suggestions on the official festival website for décor, food and of course, music!

“We want to encourage festivalgoers to continue to support our broader folk fest community including our food vendors, Hand-Made Village artisans and musicians, who need our patronage in this challenging time, now more than ever,” Skromeda says.

More information including contesting elements for prize packages will be announced in the coming weeks and will be available on the Winnipeg Folk Fest website (winnipegfolkfestival.ca).

The Winnipeg Folk Festival would like to thank presenting sponsors Assiniboine Credit Union and Bell MTS who make this live stream possible.

Mercedes GLB can go economy or luxury

New Mercedes GLB 250 stirs up unruly Lake Superior waves. Photos by John Gilbert Deciding what vehicle to buy at a Mercedes-Benz dealership is a lot like making a menu selection at Arlo Guthrie’s iconic Alice’s Restaurant. The great line from the chorus – “You can get anything you want, at Alice’s Restaurant” – can be duplicated when looking over the delectable selections from Mercedes, which includes assorted cars and SUVs. The SUV world is running red-hot these days, and

something like half of all SUVs fall into the compact or small segment. That had to make it tough for Mercedes, that proud company from Stuttgart, Germany, that invented the first automobile back before the 20th century, by and remains greatly responsible for what has become the crazy automotive world. After establishing its plateau for luxury and class, it was one thing to branch into the large SUV

market, but quite different to build a compact utility vehicle.

But Mercedes has made the leap, and the 2020 GLB 250 is a remarkable example of what a company – a great company, at that – can do to command a slot in a segment that has to be out of its comfort zone.

Mercedes, of course, in its uncompromising way, creates an internal battle for supremacy with the GLB. There might be a question of how inexpensive can Mercedes make an SUV, or how expensive it dares make it.

Same with its size, can a compact SUV house three rows of seats with the

accommodations Mercedes is known for?

The GLB 250 checks all the boxes.

With larger SUVs like the GLS and GLE out there, the company also turns out the GLC, which won Motor Trend’s SUV of the Year for 2017, so the intramural targets were in place and meant Mer-cedes engineers didn’t need to look outside for competition, although it is plentiful.

At a glance, the GLB has smooth lines but with more of a blunt look to it, snub-nosed and fairly tall, which allows a lot of interior ingredients.

That includes a third-row of temp-

Flashy interior adds sport to luxury, including under thigh extension. orary seats, which will probably spend most of their career folded down into a flat and convenient floor for storage.

The second row also folds down flat, while also sliding and reclining to add to the occupants’ comfort.

The 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine performs well, and is part of a highly technical approach Mercedes has taken with the GLB. While other, larger Mercedes SUVs are built on a large-vehicle rear-drive platform, this one is built on a compact frontwheel-drive chassis, and the power of 221 horsepower and 258 foot-pounds of torque are applied via an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission, and the 4Matic all-wheel drive system operates normally through front-drive only, with the all-wheel-drive kicking in only when the system detects the tendency for the front wheels to spin.

You don’t feel all that mechanical operation, of course. It drives smoothly and its shifts are close to imperceptible, but right on, for keeping you in a proper power band.

Now we get to the price discrepancy.

The test GLB 250 had a base price of $38,600, and it comes equipped with a lot of convenient features: the 4Matic, automatic stop-start, keyless start as well as entry, power lift-gate, rain-sensing wipers, Bluetooth with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, LED head and tail lights, active assists for braking, antilock, electronic stability, rearview camera, black and red leather seats, Linden wood trim, and multiway power front buckets.

You could own this vehicle for a long

time with only those features and be a very happy traveler.

But now tell me which of the optional features you would gladly do without: Exclusive AMG sport steering wheel, panoramic roof, adjustable

damping suspension, Burmester audio system, wireless charging, 20-inch black alloy wheels, a Driver Assistance package with active braking assist, cross-traffic Distronic X braking, emergency assisted steering, blindspot assist, lane-changing alert, lanekeeping assist, and active assists for emergency stopping and steering.

Other options include parking assist, exterior ambient lighting and a navigation map that updates itself for changing road conditions.

That’s nearly $20,000 worth of optional equipment, but all of it has great value in enhancing safety or comfort or convenience – even though it boosts the sticker price up to $57,800.

Adding to the enjoyment of driving the GLB 250, paddle shifters allow manual overriding of the 8-speed, and the suspension adjusts to comfortable firmness.

Fuel economy is 23 miles per gallon city, 31 highway, and an average of 26 mpg. We found we got 28-32 even in city driving if we used the turbocharged power judiciously.

With its style and panache, the GLB will fit in well with its larger siblings in the Mercedes showroom, and more than most of the others, it can be bought as a “stripped down” economy

SUV, or as a sporty-luxury SUV that you have to pay more to obtain.

Maybe the best of both worlds.

From the rear, compact size hides roomy interior. Rear liftgate has power control for ease of hauling.

Is your hotel room really clean?

It’s almost impossible to find a hotel that hasn’t introduced a new sanitation program, promising its rooms are squeaky clean and coronavirusfree. But is your hotel room really clean?

“It’s difficult to distinguish by between legitimate cleaning efforts and public relations,” said Sheryl Kline, a professor at the University of Delaware who has researched hotel hygiene. “Anyone can do a visual inspection and it can look clean. Just because it looks clean does not necessarily mean that it is clean.”

Hotels have standard room-cleaning practices, which have been upgraded since the pandemic. But there is no universally accepted way to clean a hotel guest room, says Kline. (In fact, there’s no such thing as a safe vacation.)

“Typically, cleanliness is based on visual inspection. This provides an aesthetic evaluation but not an assessment of the possibility of microbial contamination,” she adds.

That hasn’t stopped the hotel industry from trying to set standards during the pandemic. Consulting experts, a visual inspection and taking
