inbox Voting options needed Do you know who’s voting by mail this election? Donald Trump. And do you know who’s making it harder for everyone else in the country to vote by mail in the middle of a global pandemic? That’s right – Donald Trump. He and other White House officials have gone on record with false claims against mail-in voting, even though it’s one of the safest options for us to cast our ballots as the country recovers from this pandemic. In the face of Trump’s hypocrisy, I expect Congress to do the right thing and provide both economic relief and expanded funding for no-excuse absentee voting, early voting, and other options to make voting safer this November. These are all commonsense reforms that a vast majority of Americans support and changes that would help increase voter participation during and after this crisis. Even though Congress allocated some funds to help states implement these voting reforms, without an additional $3.6 billion in election assistance funding, some voters may not be able to make their voices heard during one of the most important elections of our lifetime. We must prevent a situation where voters are forced to choose between protecting their health and casting a ballot – no matter what Trump says. Congress has the ability to act right now and we need to make sure our representatives know that anything less than immediate action is unacceptable. Linda Peterson Superior, Wisconsin Police and police unions Phil Anderson’s article “Abolish the Police?” (The Reader, July 2, 2020) makes several cogent arguments for police reform, citing police violence, especially against blacks, as rampant and largely unchecked. The article calls for “a peaceful law enforcement system based on cooperation and problem solving.” And indeed we need this urgently. Consider another crucial aspect of police brutality: the essential nature of policing. Police organizations recruit in large part from former military, who have been trained to use their weapons to kill. Police training further emphasizes the focus on killing, as the deaths of police as they carry out their “duties” are taught over and over and
DuluthReader.com
how to use deadly force as the primary way to protect themselves against their assumed many enemies out there in the public – how, as one former police officer has written, to be a “bastard cop.” Training tells the trainee to see no evil in his fellow trainees and never “rat” on them, but rather join in the evil. See https://medium.com/@ OfcrACab/confessions-of-a-formerbastard-cop-bb14d17bc759. So police organizations protect themselves foremost. No matter how horrendous the use of deadly force, protect those in your organization who commit the horrors. Police unions have become so powerful that the contracts they make allow them to continue these atrocities without repercussions. They have essentially used their political power to cow elected officials into being lapdogs. Police unions are not labor unions; police officers are powerful state agents, not exploited workers. Police unions do not advance well-being, except for protecting their ”bastard cops.” It is time to seriously consider eliminating these unions. The Bulwark, a neoconservative news and opinion website, makes this abolishing of police unions a crucial concern. It is not just a liberal position, as some of those on the political right would claim. See https://mailchi.mp/ the bulwark/why-not-abolish-policeunions?e=37aac09cbc. And systemic racism, which is not going away anytime soon, pervades policing. A major, most important step, in achieving “a peaceful law enforcement system” is the elimination of these corrupt, violent police unions that prevent such a peaceful operation. As many have noted, most of what police are called upon to do can and should be taken on by social workers, therapists, and trained nonviolent peacekeepers. Then we can “defund” the police by keeping their role to a basic minimum of protecting the public safety. Warren Howe Duluth, Minnesota Get real, Chuck! I had to respond to that guy from Cannon Falls (Reader, July 9, 2020 “inbox”) shooting off his mouth. Just for clarity, there is no relationship between Socialism and whatever malevolent political system is in place in Russia. As far as name-calling goes, in my journal, begun in March this year to cover the Covid19 crisis, I have given our ferociously incompetent
leader a new first name, which I shall not repeat here. If that writer can notname-call “Dumocrats,” then I feel justified in my choices. Did Pelosi really cause our pandemic crisis? Or is it that fool-in-office, old Carrot-Top, who has fired all his health advisors and backed us out of WHO? And as far as the rioters and looters goes, I seem to recall it was the coldblooded murder of George Floyd by white-supremacist, punitively-immune cops, who caused the reaction. Among those rioters were outside agitators like the neo-Nazi Boogaloo Bois (a reference to apartheid South African police, perhaps?) who are pistol-packing with the stated intent to enflame a presidentially-supported race war. Get real, Chuck! Ray Allard Duluth, Minnesota Criminal cunning When Donald Trump was elected President, I was horrified. Asked what I thought about our situation, I said, more than once: “Germany. 1933.” As ignorant as I believed Trump to be, I feared his criminal cunning could destroy our democracy. All he had to do was broaden his base of supporters. If, for example, the new president had quickly pushed an ambitious bill to rebuild our infrastructure, he might have won lasting approval. Instead, he rushed to ban visitors from Muslim countries and suffered a defeat. He exhausted political capital howling for a wall on our southern border. Other errors followed, almost daily. Trump’s approval rating never broke 50% and slumps at 38% in the latest Gallup poll. His ignorance and perverted personality have been exhibited right down the line. Do you doubt my judgment? Then how about the judgment of some of Trump’s “best people”? Emerging from a meeting where Trump called the top U.S. commanders “a bunch of dopes and babies,” Rex Tillerson, his first Secretary of State, declared, “He’s a fucking moron.” Trump’s first Chief of Staff, John Kelly, found Trump so ignorant about policy, he called him – and I quote – “an idiot.” These are only two of many such curt dismissals by accomplished people who have worked with Trump. But what if Trump had been as sly as Vladimir Putin or Xi Jinping? We’ve had nearly four years to witness the actions and abdications of Mr. OnlyI-Can-Fix-It, which have climaxed in
civil unrest over racism, a pandemic raging out of control, and a recession that’s only just begun. Strange to say, but it looks like Trump’s very ignorance will soon lead to the salvation of our democracy as he becomes – with all the world watching – what he has always feared he was: a loser. Bart Sutter Duluth, Minnesota When do we act on climate change? What does your house mortgage or insurance have to do with climate change? Today’s low home mortgage interest rates are great, either for refinancing or buying a house. Concurrently, the home mortgage industry is paying attention to our changing climate trends, particularly along coastal areas, flood plains, and regions prone to wildland fire. In addition, home buyers are increasingly seeking mortgages that make it easier for them to stop making payments and walk away from loans if their house becomes unsellable, or default regardless of loan type. Lenders are responding by requiring higher down payments, reducing payback periods, or departing home loan markets entirely in higher risk areas. Recent research, reported in the journal Climatic Change, shows that banks are reselling more of their flood or fire risk zone loans to government backed organizations such as Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac, shifting financial risk to tax payers. The private home insurance industry is also paying attention to the effects of climate change. The increasing frequency and magnitude of catastrophic climatic events; including hurricanes, floods, fire and supercell events, has caused insurers to recalculate (significantly increase) premiums or abandon certain markets. Even when properties are insured, flood insurance does not protect against risk of reduced value or unsellable houses. So what to conclude from these circumstances? Certainly this illustrates that climate change is not some future event. It is directly and indirectly affecting our lives now in many ways, typically not for the better. The prime question is when/what are we going to do about it? John Lindell Bayfield,Wisconsin

By Lois Quam My fellow white Minnesotans, we see in George Floyd’s agony and Derek Chauvin’s casual cruelty what we must see. Our fellow Minnesotans’ lives are threatened by the very systems we have built. Black, brown and Indigenous Minnesotans told us this, but we did not hear. We must now listen and act to build a new Minnesota. This is not just about the Twin Cities. The 1920 Duluth lynching of three Black men and the 1862 Mankato mass execution of 38 Indigenous people, the largest U.S. execution, paved the road to today. I’m from southwest Minnesota. I moved to the Twin Cities for college and stayed to work and raise a family. My hometown, Marshall, as Ahmed Yusef noted in his book Somalis in Minnesota, is the first Minnesota town that offered good jobs and schools to Somali families. As a Norwegian Lutheran, I have benefited from everything Minnesota offers. Marshall High School gave me the foundation to study at Oxford University on a Rhodes Scholarship and Gov. Rudy Perpich appointed me to chair the state commission that led to MinnesotaCare the week I had my first child. I served in a senior position at a Fortune 500 company working on Medicare and Medicaid and in a top Obama administration global health position. Today my work as a global nonprofit CEO takes me more often to west Africa than western Minnesota. And in quiet moments at night, wherever I am, my mind goes to the prairies of Lyon County. My three sons are St. Paul Central High School graduates and I know that a police traffic stop will not cost their life as it did their fellow Central graduate Philando Castile. I have never feared that my sons will call for me under a police officer’s knee. Like many white Minnesotans, I saw these inequities, but I didn’t see them well enough. My love for what is exceptional about Minnesota blinded me. I thank young Minnesotans for their relentless leadership in protest that forces clarity and action.
To witness Holy Trinity Lutheran Church surrounded by fires and yet providing first aid, food and refuge shows how Minnesota Lutherans statewide can support communities of color. On Lake Street and University Avenue, Minnesotans set the tone for America by responding to the protests with work gloves, brooms and mutual aid. This spirit of hard work and generosity now must become action in daily life, at work, and in legislation so that Minnesota is for all of us. A young Black protester interviewed by WCCO’s Mike Max at Bobby and Steve’s Auto World pointed out in the midst of protests about racial inequities that he and the white National Guard citizen-soldier next to him both had families they wanted to go home to. The pandemic shows us that we can act quickly to save each other’s lives. We need conversations — and action In 2014, I married again, and my husband is an American Muslim. This wonderful personal event gave me new perspective. We can understand each other even though our lives and our histories are different. Dr. Ayaz Virji, a Dawson physician, and the Rev. Mandy France, a rural Minnesota Lutheran pastor, launched “Love They Neighbor” conversations so Christians and Muslims could get to know each other. This listening is to each other not just to the loudest voice or the angriest voice. A statewide conversation between every race and religion, urban and rural, of every income and age is essential. And conversations need to lead to actions to change our schools, companies, criminal justice and health care systems so Black, brown and Indigenous Minnesotans have the same opportunities that white Minnesotans have. Minnesotans, we have a choice. We can be the byword for racial injustice, or we can show this country how to be a more perfect union. It is now up to us. Lois Quam grew up in Marshall, Minnesota, and lives now in Washington, D.C., and St. Paul.

on the exposed surfaces for a professional appearance. This joint hides the end grains on the two pieces. This produces a relatively weak joint, so it is generally used for face and trim pieces, which do
not have to carry much weight. A 90-degree miter angle is produced by sawing two pieces at 45 degrees each. An inexpensive miter box and saw should be adequate. If some corners will be
different from 90 degrees, it would be wise to use a power miter saw, which allows cuts on any angle. Whatever final angle you desire, make each miter cut at half that angle. A good, strong joint for inexperienced woodworkers is a lap joint. One piece rests in a notch in the mating piece. When joining two pieces of wood of the same thickness, use a half-lap joint. Each piece is notched halfway through so the finished joint thickness is the original thickness. When using pieces of wood of different thicknesses, notch one the full thickness of the thinner piece. A dovetail lap joint is used where the joint is in tension. The notch
cut in one piece has a taper on it. The mating piece is notched with a reverse taper so they interlock. Rabbet joints are the best choice for the floors and shelving in the cabinets. A recess (rabbet), sized the width of the mating piece, is cut into the larger piece. The depth of the rabbet should be half the thickness of the piece.

Two colleges merge at UMD Deans see opportunity for interdisciplinary studies and faculty collaboration There is no doubt that not everyone was pleased to hear of the recent merger of the College of Liberal Arts and School of Fine Arts at the University of Minnesota-Duluth. “There was the kind of reaction you would expect if you were told your college wasn’t going to exist any longer,” said Jefferson Campbell, Associate College of Liberal Arts Dean. The decision to merge the two schools was first mentioned to administration in early November, and faculty were informed the following week of the merger and that it was set for July 1, 2020. Ad hoc committees were formed in January to ease the transition and deal with the many changes the merger would require, including such office basics as internal and external messaging. Campbell said there were “a lot JIM of very upset LUNDSTROM people” when the merger was announced, so he and former Dean of Fine Arts Bob Kase served as conduits of information with faculty and students. “It sort of became my full-time job as COVID hit,” he said. Yet an even bigger concern loomed. “Our biggest concern was that the outside world understands the fine arts didn’t go away,” Campbell said. “Our programs are still here. This really is in many ways a bureaucratic change, but also the start of an exciting time to be at UMD,” said College of Liberal Arts Dean Jeremy Youde. “The [physical] change might be that the advising office has moved from the third to the first floor.” “It was primarily a function of trying to strengthen both of the colleges that had existed,” Campbell said in emphasizing the bureaucratic aspect of the merger. He said while student enrollment

10 July 16, 2020 DuluthReader.com
had grown by low-single digits in both colleges, the growth was not on par with the three other colleges. “Both were outnumbered by the other three colleges in terms of student enrollment,” Campbell said. “That was part of the motivation, to create one college on an equal footing with the three other colleges.” He acknowledges the university will see a savings in salaries with the merger. “There was an administrative savings to the university,” Campbell said. “They saved a lot of money by eliminating a dean, human resources and an accountant.” So, what was gained? Both deans agree the merger will offer greater opportunity to present and future students in terms of interdisciplinary studies and faculty collaborations that might never have happened when the two colleges were independent entities. “Even though UMD isn’t a huge institution, it;s large enough you don’t necessarily know what’s happening in other parts of the college,” Youde said. “This is a great chance to build those
connections.” The merger brings together 38 majors (including an interdisciplinary studies major), 33 minors, and three certificate programs. It is easy to see why some might think the School of Fine Arts had been swallowed whole by the College of Liberal Arts because, for the time being, it is operating under that name, but both deans said each area under the umbrella will remain intact and unaffected by the union. “The fine arts are still at UMD and are a vital, vibrant part of the university and our connection to the Twin Ports region,” Youde said. “We are going to change the name of the college. We’re forming a new college,” Campbell said. “It’s referred to as CLA right now, because that’s the administrative unit left, but we’re going to make it a true merger and not an acquisition.” He said names will be solicited from faculty and a committee will be formed to come up with a new name. “It will definitely be as democratic as possible, but some folks have real
strong ideas already,” Campbell said. “This is the beginning of the process, not the end of the process,” Youde said. “One of the things were’ going to spend the next 12, 18 months doing is thinking about, what is the identity?” I’m really excited about this because this is a chance to bring together the fine arts and social sciences and humanities together in a single academic unit, all the same majors that existed during the spring semester of 2020 when they were separate colleges. But also bringing these programs together in a single academic unit, it provides the opportunity of co-mingling all these academic disciplines and building something that is truly interdisciplinary. It speaks to the educational interests of students but also what they want to do when they graduate. We see that our students, when they’re going out into the workforce they want to be highly competent in a number of different areas. Already we require they have a second major or a minor. Already there’s an ethos to blend disciplines within the university. Bringing the colleges together will feed that. How do we adapt our teaching to meet a really challenging and ever-changing time, prepare students to be as nimble and resilient and as competent as possible in a crazy kind of environment? It makes for an easier process, and makes it easier for faculty to collaborate, too, and build some unique programs where some of their teaching and research aligns.”
Clean energy groups oppose another delay The Minnesota Center for Environmental Advocacy (representing itself, Fresh Energy, Clean Grid Alliance, and the Sierra Club) filed its opposition to Minnesota Power’s request to once again delay the Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) process. On May 15, 2020, investor-owned utility Minnesota Power requested a third extension despite the PUC’s rule that IRP’s be filed every two years. Minnesota Power last filed an IRP on Sept. 1, 2015. The IRP process requires utilities to “consider important public policy considerations when making resource decisions, such as the environmental and socioeconomic effect of different energy-generation resources.” By continuing to delay the next IRP, Minnesota Power is in effect refusing to “show its math” about the types of opportunities in this sector that have been working elsewhere. Urgency around these filings has only increased in light of moves across the country to faster adoption of renewable energy. Jessica Tritsch, Senior Campaign
Representative with the Sierra Club’s Beyond Coal to Clean Energy Campaign, stated, “Minnesota Power has dragged their feet for long enough, asking for extension after extension on an IRP filing that was originally due in 2018. The Northland needs to know what their energy future looks like, and where their money is going, especially if Minnesota Power expects to tackle the ongoing climate crisis. Customers cannot afford yet another delay from Minnesota Power.” Coal plants across the country are closing because they are more expensive to run than clean, renewable energy. Last month, Great River Energy announced it would close its Coal Creek plant in North Dakota in 2022 and replace it with wind. Utilities like Great River, Southern Minnesota Energy Cooperative, and Vectren Energy in Indiana – a CenterPoint affiliate with a similar load mix to Minnesota Power – have all recently announced dramatic moves towards renewable energy, while Minnesota Power drags its heels. Emerging data is showing that adop-
tion of these energy sources is cheaper for the customers and better for the planet. By not moving forward, Minnesota Power is subjecting Minnesota consumers and businesses to tremendous uncertainty. And, while the COVID-19 crisis has injected uncertainty into electricity demand forecasts, such uncertainty is common in the 15-year planning window required in IRPs. Such uncertainty can be addressed through modeling, and uncertainty about what the future holds is not a reason to delay planning for it. MCEA filed its comments in opposition to Minnesota Power’s request for delay with the PUC and they are available on the PUC eDockets site and by request. Minnesotans have waited too long already for information about the key matters that will be addressed in the IRP, including: • The setting of a closing date for Boswell 3 and 4, the largest coal plant in Minnesota without a set retirement date
• Evaluation of the most cost-effective ways to meet customers’ needs, including evaluation of clean energy alternatives to coal and gas • Evaluation of future scenarios in which Minnesota Power’s proposed new “NTEC” gas plant is not built • Projections about demand • Limiting the operation of Boswell 3 and 4 to only those periods when operation is economic as Xcel Energy recently announced for its Sherco units. Evan Mulholland, Senior Staff Attorney for the MCEA, issued this statement: “We need a plan for the future. We need a plan for the closure of Boswell that includes support for the workers at the plant and for the host community of Cohasset. And we need a plan for faster adoption of renewables. We are excited for this IRP. We think it’s going to show that more wind and solar and storage are going to be better for everyone. Delay is not in the interest of customers or the public. The PUC should deny this – yet another – delay request.”

Council passes mask ordinance Businesses, unions, health care supported unprecedented order When the Duluth city council met on July 13, more than an hour of the session was spent taking calls from constituents, most of whom weighed in on defunding police, and, in particular, the Duluth Police Department. Eloquent arguments were made for a more informed way to dispense public money to deal with society’s problems. No one called to not defund the police, and only one caller strayed from the subject of giving less public money to the police, and that was a man calling about the face mask ordinance the council would go on that night to discuss and eventually unanimously pass. “I will refuse to pay a fine for an unconstitutional mandate, and will take legal action against the city,” the
man told the council. “Know that I will not let it go.” He reasoned that if they passed an ordinance requiring face masks in Duluth, it would illegally compel him “to make others feel more comfortable.” While the councilors were well aware that not everyone would be happy with a mask mandate, the sponsors of the ordinance spoke at length about the importance of protecting the community’s health and wealth by requiring masks as the COVID-19 virus infection picks up new speed through apathetic behavior among the pandemic-weary public. And each mentioned the widespread support they had received for the mask ordinance. Of course the health industry weighed in for masks, but

Whoops! No, not that kind of mask. Apologies to Edward Curtis. the councilors also mentioned the Chamber of Commerce, the Greater Downtown Council, the Duluth Transit Authority, local unions and many individual business owners who can’t afford another shutdown. “I believe it’s time for Duluth to lead on this,” said Councilor Arik Forsman, one of the co-sponsors of the mask ordinance. “Public safety and health is top priority,” Forsman said. “It’s also about protecting our economy.” Yes, he said, masks are hot and uncomfortable, “But the science is pretty clear,” he said.

mask, Forsman said, “Find one that we like.” Councilor Terese Tomanek, another sponsor, also cited the hospitals, unions and business organizations who registered support for the ordinance. She also mentioned two separate business surveys that found a two-toone ration in favor of the ordinance. “Businesses have been pleading with us so they might stay open and not go through the struggle of another shutdown,” Tomanek said. “Wearing a mask is a kindness we do to others,” she said. Councilor Janet Kennedy, the only black member of the council and a co-sponsor of the ordinance, made an
amazing statement to bridge the gap between those vehemently opposed to mask wearing by directly addressing them. The people who are not supporting this in our community are in the minority, and as someone who has lived in the minority, I know what you’re feeling,” she said. She said to them, “Know that you have been heard,” but added, “We have a duty and responsibility to keep our community healthy.” “This vote is really weighing on me,” said Councilor Joel Sipress, also a sponsor of the ordinance. “Of all the votes I’ve cast, this may be one of the ones that weighs on me most heavily because we’re about to do something we would never do in normal times.” Noting that “people in the community challenged us to take this on” and that other people in the community are saying “who are you to decide what we have a right to do?” Sipress said councilors must step up and do the job they were elected to do, and in this case, it is to protect their community. “We have to make these kinds of decisions because someone has to,” he said. “Look around the country and see what happens when no one makes decisions. Too many people who have these positions of responsibility have not been willing to make these decisions….I think we’re making the right decision. I think our community is going to step up to the plate together to get us through this.” Once the ordinance was unanimously approved, Council President Gary Anderson also addressed those unhappy with the council’s decision. He mentioned folks with asthma and claustrophobia are going to be challenged by wearing masks, but suggested they find “the one that’s most comfortable for you.” He also asked dissenters to focus their anger and discomfort at the council who enacted the ordinance “and not your neighbors.” ORDINANCE DETAILS • Masks must be worn in any “Space of Public Accommodation,” which means a business or an educational, refreshment, entertainment or recreation facility, or public transportation, or an institution of any kind, whether licensed or not, whose goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, or accommodations are extended, offered, sold, or otherwise made available to the public.

Ashland, Bayfield counties issue mask advisory Ashland and Bayfield counties on Monday issued an emergency advisory “requiring face coverings.” The advisory takes effect 8 a.m. Friday and “stipulates that everyone age 5 and older wear a face covering or mask when in any enclosed building where other people, except for members of the person’s own household or living unit could be present. This advisory applies to all of Ashland and Bayfield County.” “Public health research shows that face coverings are critical to slowing the spread of COVID-19. Given the number of infections in our counties and surrounding area, as well as the multitude of visitors coming to our area, we need to all be wearing face coverings every time we leave the house,” Elizabeth Szot, Ashland County health officer, said in the Monday release. As of Monday, 15 residents in Ashland and Bayfield counties had tested positive for COVID-19, up from just five a couple of weeks ago. Surrounding counties also are seeing surges in reported cases following the arrival of summer visitors; Iron County as of Monday had 17 reported cases; Douglas County stood at 61, and Sawyer County recorded 15. “We do not take this advisory lightly,” Sara Wartman, Bayfield County health officer, said in the press release. “It is on every person in our communities to do better. People should assume that everyone wearing a mask is doing it to protect you and themselves. If someone is not wearing a mask, assume they are genuinely not able to do so.”
Wartman adds, “given the recent rapid increases in cases in our counties, which has happened even before school and college classes resume this fall-it is imperative we take this step now to try and slow the spread of COVID through our communities.” The order says everyone should wear a face covering over their nose and mouth when in public, which includes in businesses, health care settings, waiting in line and on public transportation. It also says people should wear masks while in someone else’s home and exempts those with physical, mental or developmental conditions that prevents them from wearing a mask. The advisory comes following a surge in local coronavirus cases, many of them connected to a hockey tournament held in late June in Ashland. A total of 93 people were being monitored by the Ashland County Health Department Monday, including people who have had contacts with known COVID-19 patients and those who are symptomatic and still have test results pending. The county also has cleared 1,812 cases that were being monitored and have had three cases of people with COVID-19 who have recovered. Szot said Monday that at least four of Ashland County’s five new cases are connected to the tourney at the Bay Area Civic Center. She said the fifth case involves a resident who traveled away from the Bay Area and contracted the virus while out of town.

Pet rescuers
Dear Heloise: I’d like you to know about puppy mill rescue organizations. They pick up and rescue hundreds of dogs and puppies from puppy mills all over the country – dogs that are deemed no longer usable for breeding or are old or sick. They also rescue puppies that are still unsold after a few months and would otherwise be killed. Many of these mills regularly call on dog rescues to come and get these animals before they’re put down. The rescuers give these dogs and pups any treatments they need to come back to health, help them overcome their fears until they are truly adoptable and give them a new life. Many dog rescues have helped thousands of dogs and pups who would otherwise have died at the hands of puppy mills.

Health care predation Predatory capitalism breeds predatory medical care Survival in the animal world depends upon who eats who. Wolf packs in Yellowstone chase down the oldest, weakest elk and kill with a chokehold. Lion prides in Africa select the oldest and weakest water buffalo to kill for the survival of their young. Killer whale pods kill seals to eat – and sometimes play with them just for the hell of it. Our national symbol – the bald eagle – swoops down on a fish to eat or gorges on ditch roadkill. At the same time we have a private predatory health care system in the United States that swoops down on the injured, sick and dying for enormous profits. We are at the top of the food chain, so we have humans who take advantage of other humans who are weak and sick from
diseases, viruses, bacteria, injuries, and old worn out joints and cells. Last words of a dying patient: ‘Who’s going to pay for it?’ Dr. Derrick Smit expressed his thoughts after witnessing the “worst thing” that has ever happened to him so far in his medical career: “Last words I’ll never forget, this was the response my patient gasped out (between labored breaths) to me and my team, after we explained that he needed to be intubated and placed on a ventilator. We then called his wife to have him speak to her about what was likely his last opportunity, as many patients do not recover once tubed. This situation is by far the worst thing I’ve witnessed in my collective 12

years of critical care and anesthesia. Next-level heartbreak is having to hear a dying patient use his last words to worry about health care finances. This country is truly a failed state, and it’s sickening to witness firsthand, more blatantly than ever.” I have a keen interest in health care costs because I spent 32 years at negotiation tables negotiating health care costs, salaries and other benefits; four years for the Fargo Education Association of Teachers, 17 years on the Fargo Board of Education Negotiations Committee, and 11 years as chief board spokesman involving more than a thousand employees. In between long sessions, I often had to hassle insurance companies, doctors and hospitals over health care costs associated with a wife and seven children. I have kept files on health care costs for more than 50 years. Great progress has been made in medicine, but the delivery to patients has been tragically devoured by predatory capitalism. The sick, injured and dying are now treated like full ATM machines. I have hundreds of examples. Danni Askini of Boston had been treated for lymphoma in March 2020, so one morning she felt chest pain, shortness of breath, and had a headache. She called her oncologist, who told her to go to the emergency room. The doctor said she probably had the flu or pneumonia and sent her home. Over the next few days she developed a cough, so she went back to the emergency room. She was given two tests and sent home. Later, another trip to the emergency room for a COVID-19
test. After a week she got the hospital bill for three emergency visits and four minor tests: $34,927.43l. She had just changed jobs so she was uninsured. You can buy a snazzy new car for $35,000. Pam LeBlanc and Jimmy Harvey of Texas went to the Austin Emergency Center for COVID-19 tests together. Both were negative. Jimmy paid $199 cash for his. Pam has health insurance. Her bill was $6,408! (Yes, that’s right!) Perhaps a local hospital CEO could explain the difference. How many COVID-19 patients will get million-dollar bills? Public-health experts predict that about one million Americans will be hospitalized before the virus runs its course. So far we have 2.4 million cases with about 128,000 dead. No single agency seems to know how many cases have been hospitalized, but it has to be in the many thousands. There are hundreds of bills to patients that stand out, but the following one is revealing. Seventy-year-old Michael Flor of Seattle survived the deadly virus but received a 181-page bill of $1.1 million for his 62-day hospital stay. He was on a ventilator for 29 days which cost him $82,000. (A new ventilator runs about $35,000. which is way overpriced!) He was charged $9,736 a day for being in an intensive care room. He was charged $409,000 for its “transformation into a sterile room.” He was near death for two days, so he was charged $50,000 a day for his escape! Michael is on Medicare, of course, so it is picking up his bill. He’s lucky he isn’t 60. Then he’d be on the hook
if he did not have insurance. As one doctor said:“This is the tragic absurdity of health care in the United States of America.” The New York Times reported another eye-opener bill. Physically handicapped 33-year-old Janet Mendez of New York City nearly died from the virus. Mount Sinai Hospital sent her two bills: one for $401,885.57, and one for $31,165. After the hospital harassed her for payment it agreed to reduce her bill by $326,851.63! She is unable to work but was left with a $75,000 bill. She thought her insurance company would pay some of it. Doctors who treated her charged her between $300 and $1,800 for each daily visit. She will also be stuck with co-payments and deductibles. Welcome to the real world of health care finance. This is the result of vultures feasting on the sick and the dead. Instead of a single-payer system that covers everyone, we are left with a circling maze of private insurance companies devoted to the profit motive. Private contractor Lillian Harrison of Miami, a victim of breast cancer at age 60, pays $1,100 a month for health insurance with a $5,500 deductible. One year of coverage could cost her $18,700. We spend $150 billion on paperwork instead of health care The U.S. will spend about $4 trillion and $1 trillion of it will go to marketing, billing, “utilization review” (screwing the customer), paperwork, insurance administration, CEO pay, and lots of profit. How much money is spent advertising very expensive drugs over the dinner hour? It’s predatory capitalism at work. Medicare cost 2% to administer. Insurance companies spend at least 20%. Paperwork alone takes $150 billion in medical money. Ridiculous. Why don’t we actually spend the money on health care instead of shuffling paper and issuing denials? Each person in the U.S. spends $11,172 for health care – whether they get any or not. The average for other high-income countries is $5,280. Every other high income country covers more than 99% of its population while we cover only 90%. We spend almost 18% of our Gross Domestic Product (GNP) on health care, while the other highincome countries average 11.5% of GDP. Where is all this money going? Life expectancy in the U.S. is 78.8 years while other high income countries are at 81.5 years. What are almost three more years of life worth?
DuluthReader.com
We use health care services at the same rates as other high-income countries – except for diagnostic tests. Tests are the Golden Goose of American health care. Example: An MRI in Tokyo might run $98. The average American price is $1,000. To the American Hospital Association: Please explain! We average 118 MRI scans (perhaps we should call them scams) per 1,000, other high income countries average 82 MRIs. We perform 245 CT scans per 1,000 while other high income countries do only 151. CTs are a surface gold mine! American primary doctors have an average salary of $218,173 while other high-income country doctors average about half that. We spend $1,443 per person for prescription drugs while other high-income countries spend $749. In the last 19 years we have lost 232,000 people to prescription drug overdoses! Drug companies spent $295 million lobbying politicians in 2019, more than any other industry. Health care should be a public utility COVID-19 hospitalization and treatment of millions of victims will, in the end, probably cost trillions of dollars. We spend billions on the hospitalization and treatment of victims of flu epidemics every year at an average cost of $20,000 per patient. The COVID-19 virus will cost us a lot more because patients stay on ventilators to recover or die – and the virus is much more complicated to fight. Some virus patients have severe symptoms for three months or longer. Americans are terrified about the costs of getting the virus or the flu. About 30 million do not have health insurance and four in ten have high deductible plans that could bankrupt them. A Harvard University study estimated that 45,000 Americans die every year from lack of health care coverage because they can’t afford it. California Representative Ro Khanna said this about the coronavirus: “The reality is, there are a lot of people that are thinking, ‘I don’t want a couple of thousand dollar bill to get tested or treated’.” This reality just makes COVID-19 more difficult to handle. About a trillion of health care dollars we spend each year actually aren’t spent on health. It’s wasted on insurance bureaucracies billing the absolute paper maze from private insurance companies. They must also track down patients to collect co-pays. Don’t forget the hundreds of billions
in profits going to insurance and drug companies. Don’t forget excessive CEO salaries. Some are in the $80 million range. While COVID-19 killed thousands in a three-month period, UnitedHealth Group, the largest health insurance company, saw “a significant increase” in profits! During these record profits, the company bought back $1.7 billion of its stock so stockholders and CEOs could profit more. Take health care predators off the streets No one in the field of economics, medicine, science, or partisan politics has been able to refute the study by experts at Yale University, the University of Florida, and the University of Maryland that Bernie Sander’s Medicare For All project would not only save Americans $450 billion, it would prevent 68,000 unnecessary deaths due to malignant neglect. It would also save the average family about $2,400 annually. The study indicates that any tax increases would cost far less than premiums, deductibles and co-pays and other shenanigans. Sanders’ proposal allows the government to negotiate prices for all procedures and prescription drugs. Another study by Harvard University, Hunter College, and the University of Ottawa estimated that switching to a universal single-payer system would save Americans more than $600 billion a year. Perhaps then we could understand why an American pays
$160,000 for a heart valve replacement in the U.S., while a Thailand hospital would charge him $11,000. Why pay $50,000 for a hip replacement when one is available in Thailand for $8,000? It’s called medical tourism. I don’t have room to discuss out-ofnetwork “surprise billings.” These lead to medical bankruptcies. Two New York women had babies in the same hospital at the same time covered by the same insurance plan. One had $1,600 added to her bill. Her anesthesiologist was “out-of-network.” CEO: explain that one. Anyone have a helicopter ambulance ride lately? Gilead Sciences is charging U.S. hospitals $3,120 for one treatment of remdesivir, which will shorten recovery time for COVID-19. How much profit will they make on a drug that the government developed 11 years ago? Why are foreign patients charged “only” $2,340? Inquiring minds want to know. Health care costs are as psychotic and “nutcase” as our president.

Contract tracing conspiracies swirl Having posed a series of increasingly paranoid-sounding questions about the local response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Appleton City Council member William Siebers cleared his throat, preparing for the most outlandish yet. “I’ve got to be serious,” he said. “Are there going to be any cameras situated in the city of Appleton that (are) going to supervise anybody who is quarantined or isolated in their homes, to make sure they don’t leave their homes?” Siebers says city officials have been peppered with questions about contact tracing after misinformation spread through the community. Among the rumors: that city officials planned to place surveillance cameras outside the homes of people in quarantine. Council members say Appleton has no plans to do that. Siebers’ question was designed to prompt a city staffer to explain that, despite what residents may have heard, Appleton was not planning to adopt an official Big Brother policy. Conspiracy-tinged rumors swirled around Appleton ahead of the council’s June 17 online meeting. Council members received an email in May from somebody who claimed to have witnessed city employees installing surveillance cameras in parts of town that still lack cameras, Ald. Katie Van Zeeland said. “So, there is this conspiracy theory that local government is at least partially responsible for some sort of
surveillance system to make sure that when the state is under quarantine guidelines, people are staying at home,” Van Zeeland said. “Somebody is doing some fear mongering.” A June 17 post on the Facebook page Wisconsinites Against Excessive Quarantine urged Appletonians to oppose the City Council’s acceptance of up to $1.2 million in state reimbursement for its public health response to COVID-19. The post warned that “bad stuff is about to happen at the council meeting tonight,” and “there are now cameras set up all over for surveillance.” It drew hundreds of reactions and comments online and fueled a barrage of questions to the council about contact tracing and isolation protocols from concerned residents – and from people who don’t live in Appleton. Commenting by email on the out-of-towners who weighed in on the debate, Siebers said: “I got the impression that they were not aware that their (own) communities also have available to them money to reimburse (COVID-19) expenses.” Van Zeeland took to Facebook to address the suspicions of residents who accused the government of overreaching in efforts to slow the spread of COVID-19. In an interview, she said she watched skeptics perform “mental gymnastics” to make conspiracy theories “make sense to them.” The council decided to address the rumors head-on, “so staff could refute them,” Van Zeeland said.

The 15-member council voted unanimously to approve the funding. But the episode frustrated Van Zeeland, who says local representatives are giving residents no reason to believe they are being watched, yet rampant misinformation has required them to prove that negative – a nearly impossible task. “You can look at our budget; we have nothing like that in our budget,” she said. “You can look at all of our meetings and minutes. Everything is public; you can ask for my emails. … I guess I don’t know how to prove that something that does not exist does not exist. That’s the hard part about this.” Appleton isn’t the only place in Wisconsin where coronavirus skeptics are making themselves known. Employees of the Washington Ozaukee Public Health Department have reported receiving verbal harassment and threatening emails, and being followed while driving health department vehicles. The department’s logo has since been removed from the vehicles. Conspiracy theories about contact tracing have percolated on social media since early May, after the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention published guidelines on how state health authorities should implement this “core disease control measure” to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus, which has killed at least 130,000 Americans – including about 800 Wisconsinites, according to government estimates. President Donald Trump’s administration included contact tracing in its Opening Up America Again guidelines but left it up to state governments to assemble tracing teams. Contact tracing identifies and informs people who have been in contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19. The Wisconsin Department of Health Services has hired 1,000 contact tracers at $20 an hour to help track the virus’ spread, a strategy that experts touted as crucial in reopening the state’s economy and protecting public health. But suspicion and mistrust of contact tracers quickly gained traction on Facebook and Twitter. A social media monitoring project by Wisconsin Watch and First Draft News – an international nonprofit concerned with trust and truth in the digital age – has tracked a series of false narratives about the disease investigators. The unsupported theories go well
beyond a national grid of surveillance. Some suggest that Gov. Tony Evers has been selling the information gathered by contact tracers, while others say the tracers are “communist soldiers.” Among the more bizarre: that contact tracers are tracking people by requiring a Wisconsin ID to get a haircut. And many posit that tracers work in conjunction with Child Protective Services to remove children from the homes of high-risk medical professionals – a popular theme of disinformation surrounding the issue, according to analysis by First Draft researcher Keenan Chen. “While forced removal did happen in China and perhaps in some other countries, there has not been any indication or report that (U.S.) law enforcement agencies have used such a tactic,” he said. Much of the social media misinformation surrounds HR 6666 – the COVID-19 TRACE Act, sponsored by U.S. Rep. Bobby Rush, an Illinois Democrat. The bill would direct $100 million to contact tracing programs. The bill’s assigned number happens to be one digit away from 666 – the “number of the beast” – which only fueled suspicion from national figures such as Charlie Kirk, author of The MAGA Doctrine and a reported sower of misinformation. In a viral Twitter post, he called tracing programs “a totalitarian power grab.” Further muddying the waters, Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul recently warned that scammers may be posing as contact tracers to steal personal information. “Contact tracing is a key part of the effort to reduce transmission of the coronavirus, but it’s important to know that scammers may try to pose as contact tracers,” Kaul said in a statement. “Before giving anyone information for contact tracing, please make sure they are a legitimate contact tracer and not someone trying to commit identity theft.” Real contact tracers won’t ask for money, your Social Security number, or bank or credit card information, Kaul said. They won’t identify the person who tested positive by name. They will call by phone – not send text messages or emails asking you to follow a link – and identify themselves by first and last name and their health department.

Laughing to keep from crying The National Union of Friendly Americans – Naknek, Alaska Chapter – is somewhat out of the loop since fishing season has begun. However, comedy of the most base quality still has a way of seeping through. Comedy of the most base quality can be hilariously funny but also tragic. The sayings of Donald V. (for vengeance) Rumpt will go down in history as some of the most comical oral and written language of all time – and the most tragic at the same time. The guy is a boob of the first order and so nearly any statement or tweet he offers can make me laugh. I no longer cry because we will be out of this nightmare soon, unless he barricades himself in the Oval Office and refuses to leave after the election. Yes, he may hunker down with an army helmet and his golf clubs to putt balls across the office carpet toward a “Make America a Laughing Stock” coffee cup. People, I’ve been asking Rumpt supporters for some direction here. How does a buffoon attract so many people into such a dysfunctional camp? When I see a vehicle with a Rumpt 2020 bumper I try to leave a NUFA card under the windshield wiper that has my phone number and an invite to call me so someone in this goofy world could explain why he represents them. I know he’s just a symptom of the
longer 30-year right wing propaganda war waged by other boobs like Rush Limbaugh but it still doesn’t explain why people could be led to pasture like a bunch of cows so easily. I’ve always understood as a journalist and columnist that kicking people in the shins with your opinion rarely changes one’s world view but this has presidency has been a farce. He rails against immigrants and talks about building a wall to keep everybody out. What an idea. A free country with a wall around it. Does that make sense? What kind of free people wall themselves in? There’s been a rampant run against the environment and the natural world, against the lungs and blood of the planet. Rumpt’s nearest approximation and understanding of the natural world is the manicured and fertilized grounds of his golf courses. The fight to protect the earth from people like Rumpt will soon be waged by our children and grandchildren. Being a hopeless optimist I believe the people will prevail against the believers in the almighty dollar, will move the world along a more sustainable route. Much has been done in the past 50 years, step by step, to protect the planet from those who don’t seem to care but we now need to make it leap by leap, there is an urgency today to make the changes. Of course in the face of social and

racial injustice Rumpt is now the law and order president, a chicken tough guy who will put protest and protesters in their place. His supporters as a whole feel they are the victims of an unfair system trying to take away their patriotism and religion and way of life. Victims! You can’t even have a confederate statue in your backyard anymore, can’t fly the confederate flag even though you live in places like northern Minnesota. What would people in northern Minnesota have to do with the confederacy and the war over slavery? Does free speech mean you can say or do something demeaning to others? Yes, that northern fellow with the confederate decal in the back window of his truck is a rebel, a rabble rouser, a don’t-tell-me-what-to-think kind of guy. There’s no racism intended in the symbol of the battle flag of the
confederacy during a war to keep the republic and live up to the creed that all men are equal. There’s no racism intended in the fact that if the war had been lost slavery would have endured. Problem is that guy has been bamboozled into thinking he’s a victim and that his way of life is threatened, so he has his gun ready for those socialists and a changing demographic that want to take away what he has. Rumpt feeds that growing paranoia like a carnival barker. I’m sorry, from day one I looked at his facial expressions and his rally cries and I thought that guy looks just like Benito Mussolini with a flap of hair. The late John Prine opened a concert in Duluth in fall of 2017 by calling Rumpt Benito Trumpolini and the crowd roared. Right on, John. I miss you and your songs of protest and the human condition. I think about people like John Prine, people who give something to us. Then I think of Rumpt, a person who doesn’t give anything to anyone, who takes rather than gives. I’m laughing to keep from crying.

Send your weird news items with subject line WEIRD NEWS to WeirdNewsTips@ amuniversal.com The Continuing Crisis The Cheyenne (Nebraska) County Commissioners vented their frustration on July 6 over an alarming threat posed by a native species in the state’s panhandle. The Scottsbluff Star-Herald reported that commissioner Philip Sanders told the gathering that prairie dogs had caused almost $3 million in damage to 2,600 acres in the county, and pleaded with representatives of the U.S. Department of Agriculture: “We have a group here from Lodgepole. Their whole town is being surrounded by prairie dogs, and we heed your help.” The county has contracted with the USDA to handle its animal control problems, but Sanders said the lone wildlife specialist charged with the task has been overwhelmed. “I feel like we’ve let Lodgepole down,” Sanders said. “I don’t want to eradicate (prairie dogs). ... I get it, but they’re out of control.” [Scottsbluff Star-Herald, 7/6/2020] Sign of the Times A statue of Christopher Columbus stands in Cleveland’s Little Italy neighborhood, but if signers of a petition get their way, it will soon be replaced by a statue of Chef Boyardee. The petition, signed by hundreds, suggests Ettore (Hector) Boiardi, known for his “food and iconic mustache,” would be a much better recipient of Cleveland’s love, Cleveland.com reported. “Boiardi and his brothers built a canned food empire from the ground up,” the petition argues, and “during World War II, this company produced canned food for American soldiers 24/7,” earning Chef Boyardee a Gold Star in 1946.

Bruno, a driver for DoorDash, escaped her car as it filled with water, but the current pulled both her and her car into the waterway that runs under the city, Passaic Fire Chief Patrick Trentacost said. Bruno rode the wave until it reached its outlet above the Passaic River, where she was “shot out” and swam to a backyard on the other side.

TASTE!
Once upon a time, chardonnay was a minor grape variety in the United States, even in the vineyards of California. Then, along came the likes of Richard Arrowood, Gary Farrell, Steve Kistler and Chuck Ortman, and chardonnay took off. Comparisons to white Burgundy were inevitable. Today, it is the most widely planted white-wine grape in California and maintains a firm grip on its market share. But chardonnay is not without controversy. Somewhere along the way, winemakers diverged from the lean, mineral-driven model of white Burgundy and pushed the limits of ripeness, often accompanied by massive amounts of oak. That style is exemplified by the rich, unctuous, oak-drenched chardonnay of Rombauer. To be sure, there is a vibrant market for the Rombauer style. At the same time, there is significant resistance, personified by the ABC (Anything But Chardonnay) movement. There have been signs in recent years that the white Burgundy model is making a comeback. Winemakers Christian Roguenant (a native of France’s Burgundy region, as it happens) and Merry Edwards have been at the forefront of the crowd that champions elegance and finesse in chardonnay over massive fruit and oak. More evidence of this new direction emerged at the 17th annual Critics Challenge Inter-national Wine & Spirit Competition, staged June 20-21 in San Diego. At this competition judged exclusively by wine journalists, two chardonnays – the Kenwood 2018 “The Barn” ($65) and Palazzo 2018 “Master Blend” ($45) – tied for wine of the year with stunning scores of 98

points each. What makes this news significant, other than the rarity of a California chardonnay besting a field of very impressive red wines, is the stylistic bent of both wines. The Kenwood chard, sourced from Sonoma Coast vineyards, is fruit-driven yet impeccably balanced, remarkably complex and beautifully constructed. The Palazzo chardonnay, a Napa Valley product, is mineral-driven with stony complexity, fresh acidity and an undercurrent of fruit just ready to blossom with a bit more age. They are both beautiful wines that have the potential to change the narrative on California chardonnay. More like these, please! Complete results of the 2020 Critics Challenge can be found at CriticsChallenge.com. Tasting Notes Wines are rated on a 100-point scale. Wines are chosen for review because they represent outstanding quality or value, and the scores are simply a measure of this reviewer’s enthusiasm for the recommended wine. Gamble 2016 ‘Paramount,’ Napa Valley ($89) — The Paramount is a Bordeaux-style blend that, in this vintage, is almost equal parts cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc and merlot (with a splash of petit verdot). It is a
hefty Napa Valley red that can easily play with the other big boys. But it’s about more than power and heft, showing complex layers of blackberry, raspberry and black cherry fruit, with hints of mocha, fresh coffee beans and a generous touch of oak vanillin. Drink now if you must, but this is a keeper that will easily improve in a temperature-controlled cellar over the next 20 years or so. Rating: 96. Goldeneye 2017 Pinot Noir, The Narrows Vineyard, Anderson Valley ($86) — Goldeneye continues to demonstrate emphatically that
Anderson Valley pinot noir rivals any produced in the Russian River Valley, Oregon’s Willamette Valley or Monterey’s Santa Lucia Highlands, just to name a few of the most prominent pinot noir regions in the United States. This vintage from The Narrows Vineyard is lush and rich, with impressive palate length and layered aromas of cherry, raspberry and strawberry. Goldeneye doesn’t overwhelm its pinot noir with massive oak, respecting the fruit instead, and the result is a red wine that possesses just the right touch of oak spice. Rating: 96. Tinto Figuero 2016 Tempranillo, Vinas Viejas, Ribera del Duero, Spain ($67.99) – This vintage of Vinas Viejas (“old vines”) exhibits impressive power and depth, showing layers of ripe black fruits and chewy tannins, with an overlay of oak vanillin. It’s a serious candidate for additional cellar time to tame the raw power now on display, though drinking now is an option, especially if decanted and hour or two prior to serving. Rating: 96.

NUTRITION
Berry, berry good
BY CHARLYN FARGO Creators Syndicate
Berries in July, fresh off the vine, just seem to taste better. Besides being the right colors (red strawberries and raspberries, blue blueberries), they are refreshing. If a handful of berries isn’t part of your daily diet, this month is a good time to start eating more. Blackberries, blueberries, raspberries
and strawberries are all great options that are bursting with antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and fiber, which can help reduce the risk of cancers and other diseases. The key is eating a variety of berries (mixing them up)
to reap the benefits of the different vitamins and minerals each berry has to offer. Berries are also ideal for weight loss because they’re naturally sweet and delicious without lots of calories or fat.
Here’s a breakdown of their benefits: Blueberries are rich in antioxidants and protective plant compounds like anthocyanins and can help fight inflammation. They may improve brain, eye and heart health, and they

help to reduce the risk of cancer. A cup has 84 calories, 3.6 grams of fiber and 50% of the vitamin C recommended for a day. Store them in the refrigerator, and wash them just before eating to prevent mold. Blackberries are an even better source of fiber. A cup has 62 calories, 8 grams of fiber and 2 grams of protein. Choose blackberries that are shiny, and store them in the refrigerator prior to washing. One cup of raspberries contains 65 calories and 8 grams of fiber. They are particularly rich in polyphenols, which, along with fiber, play an important role in a cancer-protective diet. Choose raspberries that are firm, plump and dry. Store in the refrigerator, and wash them just prior to eating. Strawberries are an excellent source of vitamin C, manganese and phytonutrients, which gives them their heart-healthy and anti-cancer powers. A cup of strawberries has 49 calories and 3 grams of fiber. Choose berries that are shiny and firm with a bright red color. Their caps should be fresh, green and intact. Store in the refrigerator, and wash just before eating.

Eating just one serving of strawberries about eight of them — per day may help improve heart health, lower the risk of developing some cancers and lower blood pressure. It’s the potassium in strawberries that helps maintain normal blood pressure. Research shows that individuals who eat strawberries on a regular basis have higher blood levels of folate, vitamin C and phytonutrients, as well as a higher intake of fiber, than those who don’t eat strawberries. The bottom line? Including a daily serving of all the colorful berries might just help you achieve and maintain a lowered risk for developing certain diseases. Q and A Q: Instead of the freshman 15, I feel like I’m gaining the “COVID 19.” What can I do? A: When we’re home more, with easy access to the kitchen, it’s easy to snack mindlessly to break the boredom. One of the ways to prevent that is eat only in the kitchen rather than in front of the television or computer. Always put food on a plate rather than eating from a bag. It helps
you know how much you’re eating — or overeating. It may be best to portion out snacks into smaller-size bags, like the 100-calorie bags you can purchase. It also may help to put the foods you’re most likely to overeat in the back of your pantry and the better-for-you fruits and vegetables in a bowl on the table or ready to eat in the refrigerator. RECIPE Cooking at home more has us all looking for some new and different recipes. Here’s a recipe for Beef and Asparagus Negimaki. Negimaki is a Japanese food consisting of broiled strips of beef marinated in teriyaki sauce and rolled with scallions. This recipe is from Good Housekeeping magazine. BEEF AND ASPARAGUS NEGIMAKI 1/3 cup hoisin sauce 1/3 cup mirin 2 tablespoons rice vinegar 2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil 3 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds, divided 1 pound beef flank steak, butterflied and pounded 1/16-inch-thick 8 scallions 1 pound asparagus 1 tablespoon olive oil In a medium bowl, whisk together
hoisin sauce, mirin, rice vinegar, sesame oil and 2 teaspoons sesame seeds. Transfer half (about 1/2 cup) to a medium bowl. Cut flank steak into 3-by-4-inch strips; add to bowl, and toss to coat. Let sit 15 minutes. Meanwhile, heat grill to medium-low. Thinly slice 1 scallion, and set aside for serving. Quarter remaining 7 scallions lengthwise, and then trim to 6 inches long. Trim asparagus to 6 inches long. Toss scallions and asparagus in olive oil. Perpendicular to a 4-inch side of 1 strip of steak, place 1 scallion quarter and 1 asparagus stalk. Roll and secure steak with toothpick through vegetables. Repeat with remaining meat and vegetables. Grill, covered, basting twice with reserved marinade until lightly charred and just cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Remove toothpicks, and serve sprinkled with sliced scallion and remaining teaspoon sesame seeds. Serves 8.

Three very different beers
FERMENT! I got very thirsty reading last week about Eric Hanson, head brewer at Utepils, and how he talked up his Ewald the Golden hefeweizen. It was a hot day and a tall, cold hefe sounded like just the ticket. Hefeweizen, to my mind, is the ultimate summer beer. I easily tracked down a four-pack of Ewald the Golden and thirstily headed home, in what turned out to be a futile search for my hefeweizen glass. What the heck happened to that thing? I do recall my neighbor Frank coveting it when he was here last. He’s a Germanophile. Maybe he just had to have my Franziskaner glass. Oh, well, most likely it will just show up the same way it disappeared.
There really is something beautiful about drinking a lively, spicy, whiteheaded weiss in its special 24.7 ounce glass. There’s nothing better on a sunny summer afternoon. It gives the illusion of perfection, a bright, shining, luxurious moment that exists between you and a beautiful glass of hefewiezen. Time seems to stop, or at least slow down some. On a sidenote, don’t ask me about lemon and

hefeweizen. I’ve done it both ways. Do it how you like it. For me, it depends. Mostly, no, I just want the beer. But it’s also not a bad way to get a nice injection of lemony goodness. The flavors meld well. So, no rules for me on how to drink your hefeweizen. However, Ewald the Golden is a rich and satisfying hefe. And, yeah, I don’t think I’d stick a lemon in this one. *** Here’s another
mystery. I found this next beer in my fridge but don’t know how it got there. Maybe Frank felt guilty about stealing my hefeweizen glass so snuck a bottle of Friek in my fridge. And Friek is right. Yowzer! This is one pucker-producing sour ale. Friek! The name is a merger of the names of two kinds of sour ale – kriek (cherry) and framboise (raspberry), hence Friek! As you might expect, this is a very red beer. It begins life as a traditional kriek (sour cherry ale). After up to two years aging in oak barrels, fresh local raspberries are added. Did I mention this is a very sour beer? At the moment I can only see from one eye because the other one is
puckered up with the intense sourness. It’s shockingly sour. I love it. Framboise and kriek all in one bottle. O’Dell Brewing of Ft. Collins, Colo., is the brewer of this tremendous sour. Be prepared for a swift kick in the ghoulies with this powerful sour. *** And, last but not least, I saw this sitting on a gas station beer shelf and had to try it. I recall when the flagship beer from this Belgian brewer first made it to these shores and I praised Stella Artois in a beer column I was doing at the time. It prompted a Euro-bully to email and question my sanity for praising what he called the “Budweiser of Europe.” What he did not understand is that at the time (this was some time ago), there were not many craft breweries devoted to producing good lagers, and for a lager-loving fellow such as myself, I had invested my faith in lagers in the Euro-breweries, such as the original Budweiser in the city of CeskeBudejovice in the Czech Republic and, yes, the newly-arrived-to-these-shores Stella Artois.
DuluthReader.com
(On a side note, today Stella is owned by Interbrew, which is a subsidiary of the world’s largest brewer, AnheuserBusch InBev.) Well, things have changed significantly since Stella Artois made its way to these shores some time around the turn of the century. Today there is plenty of great lagers to choose from. Still, when I see a six-pack of dark lager called Midnight, brewed by Stella, well, count me in. If you like a good dark lager with hints of chocolate and coffee playing in the background, check out Midnight Lager. It’s a mighty good dark lager (if I had to choose my favorite dark lager, it would be the dark lager made by the original Budweiser in the aforementioned Ceske Budejovice – it’s known as Czechvar in this country, but they do not sell the dark lager here. It’s big in Finland, I hear.)

Things that must be done “...If changes are to come, there are things that must be done...” From the song “Somewhere to Begin” by T.R. Richie “...if people are paying attention, then we get good government and good leadership. And when we get lazy, as a democracy.... then it results in bad government and politics.” President Barack Obama In the last column I talked about the importance of people getting involved in politics and the upcoming elections. Responsible democratic government depends on citizen participation. This article talks about specific ways everyone can help despite the pandemic limiting the usual volunteer activities. This year we must elect competent leaders who care about people and the issues that actually matter to most people. We can not endure four more years of the currant disastrous administration. We can not continue to ignore – or exacerbate – the pandemic, racial divisions, increasing inequality, economic problems, environmental destruction, and other disastrous policies of the last three and a half years. What can one person do? A few years ago an investment firm had a TV ad claiming they created wealth “the old fashioned way – one investor at a time.” I believe we can change things one voter at a time. The best thing anyone can do is to talk to their friends, family and acquaintances and get them to vote. This is not just my opinion. It is a proven method developed by the Organizing Empowerment Project. You can learn more about it with a short video at organizingempowerment.org. This method spreads common sense, personal politics like a pandemic virus. The COVID-19 virus spreads from one person to two others, who then infect four others, who infect eight, and the process snowballs. When exponential growth turns an outbreak of disease into a pandemic it is not good. But infecting others with a sense of social responsibility and civic duty is

good for our democracy and the well being of all of us. Talking to your friends, neighbors, and family about voting can do a better job of getting-out-the-vote than the usual door knocking and phone banking. This is not about arguing politics or confronting the hard core opposition. Rather it is a proven program of simply sharing your concerns, values, and reasons for voting with people you know. The fancy term for this is Relational Voter Organizing. Relational Organizing teaches people to reach out to their friends and family to share personal stories around the issues that matter most to them. People are more likely to trust information from people they know and respect. They are more likely to listen and to act on that information. This involves listening to the views and concerns of the other person and sharing your own views and concerns. It is a non-threatening, nonargumentative conversation and not political proselytizing. Contrary to conventional wisdom, you can have these discussions in polite company! Many organizations are adopting this program for recruiting new members, for specific issue campaigns, and for getting people to register and vote. Several organizations offer online
training on using this method to talk more effectively with others. Minnesota Interfaith Power and Light, as part of their Climate Voter Campaign, has several webinars in July and August on Relational Organizing.

Wisconsin League of Conservation Voters uses “Virtual Volunteers” to do phone banking, text banking, social media outreach and relational voter organizing to advocate for clean water and clean energy. See conservationvoters.org/action-alerts/ become-a-virtual-volunteer to get connected. They will have training sessions in July and August. Of course, there are many opportunities to volunteer. Many organizations, including the political parties and labor unions, are doing things differently because of the pandemic. They’re using social media, texting, cell phone apps and personal letters to reach voters. Here are some examples of campaigns I know about. Probably organizations you belong to are doing something similar. They all need volunteers! The good news is you can do things from home, on your schedule, and as much or little as you have time to contribute.
Sierra Club Independent Action is working to to elect “leaders who will put our communities and our climate ahead of special interests and big polluters.” They have an at-home program to call, text, or write letters to likely conservation voters. There are people in Duluth actively doing this to get more people to vote. You can get connected at sierraclubindependentaction.org. Public Citizen is working to ensure safe, accessible, and fair elections this fall with their Democracy Defenders campaign. Volunteers are working to end the flood of corporate money affecting elections, opposing the right wing’s un-American assault on voting rights, and seeking to expand voting by mail so everyone can vote and have their vote counted. To get involved Google “Democracy Defenders Public Citizen.” Vote Forward (votefwd.org) is helping people to write personalized letters to encourage people to vote. You can work from home and write to people in your state. Indivisible (indivisible.org) is a grassroots movement of thousands of local people working to elect progressive leaders, rebuild our democracy, and defeat the Trump agenda. They are active in the Duluth area. You may think your vote doesn’t count and there is nothing you can do to make a difference. But the numbers from the 2016 presidential election in Wisconsin tell a different story. The current occupant won in Wisconsin by 0.77% of the total vote. If only a few of the 1,382,536 people who voted for Hillary Clinton had recruited ONE OTHER VOTER, Trump would have lost Wisconsin. Thirty three percent of eligible voters in Wisconsin did not bother to vote. This was true in other states. So you can make a difference. You can help rebuild democracy and create a better America one conversation and one voter at a time. We need to remember the advice of Edmund Burke, a British member of parliament (1766-94) and critic of British treatment of the American colonies. He said, “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”

THIS WEEK IN HISTORY
Duluth Herald July 16, 1888 THE CEMETERY. A COMPETENT HEADGARDNER ALREADY SENT FOR AND A FORCE OF MEN AT WORK. A few weeks will see a great change at the new grounds of the Duluth Cemetery association. A small force of men is already at work cleaning out underbrush and opening the more important roads so that the cemetery may be used at once. The association has now sent to Kilmarnock, Ayrshire, Scotland, for John Brown, a cemetery superintendent of ten years’ experience and a thorough gardener, who will have exclusive charge of the grounds, and he will be on his way to Duluth in a few days. This man comes with the highest recommendations and with six children. He has been for two years headgardner in the Royal Botanic gardens of Glasgow. Since that time he has been in charge of the gardens of several English estates and for the past 10 years has been in charge of the Kilinarnock cemetery where he has given the very best satisfaction. About 100 acres of ground have been secured for the burial ground already and it is hoped that large additions to the area can soon be made. In the centre of the present site is a large mound susceptible of bold treatment and the whole site is admirably adapted both for ultimate beauty and convenience. Already the removal of bodies stored in the vault at Forest Hill has begun as soon as the general plan is laid out all buried there will be moved. The county is at work on improvements along the Vermilion road leading to the grounds and in a few weeks the drive there will be one of the best in town.

Ores That is Startling. Experiments at the Soudan Mines That are Very Important. C. A. Daigh of the Westinghouse company, has been in Tower at the iron mines for the past week. Mr. Daigh is experimenting at the Minnesota with electricity and iron ore in the interest of his company, and claims to have discovered a process by which he can center the rays of an arc light upon a piece of iron ore and thereby soften it to such a degree as to be able to work it with a greatly reduced amount of labor. It has not yet become known with what success his labors have been crowned, but will be looked forward with great expectations by all who feel an interest in iron and electricity.

Hibbing, Minn. (Special to The Herald) – Oscar Arnio, who keeps a boarding house at the Clark mine, three miles from Hibbing, came to town Monday night and, after imbibing considerable liquor, started for home about 2 o’clock Tuesday morning. He became tired and laid down when about three blocks from town, missing the road, and wandering off into the swamp. About 3 o’clock he was awakened by two men, who proceeded to go through him and took two watches, his knife and some small cash. At this juncture in the scuffle, Arnio got his hand loose, and pulled his revolver, shooting one of his assailants, William Currien, in the right shoulder. Both Arnio’s assailants started to run, and he shot a second time, hitting Currien in the back, the bullet lodging in the stomach. He then proceeded home. Night Watchman Riley heard the shooting and found the wounded man about five minutes after the shooting. All Currien could say was that a foreigner had shot him, describing his clothing. Currien was sent to Duluth that morning to the hospital. Chief of Police Wiren arrived home at noon from Duluth and after hearing the particulars decided that Arnio was the man who had done the shooting
and went to the Clark mine and found Arnio who confessed. Arnio was arrested and brought before Justice Berdie who set the hearing for Friday next. Tom Ford, with many aliases, is supposed to be the second man and it is thought that he has the watches, as nothing was found on Currien.

Officials are attempting to locate him. Currien is reported dying and County Attorney Phelps wired to have Arnio brought to Duluth at once. Officer Wiren left with him on the Missabe noon train. Currien, who is in St. Mary’s hospital, is not expected to live until morning. He declines to make a statement, except that he was shot twice by a highwayman. Duluth Herald July 19, 1910 TO FIGHT LID IN MOORHEAD Minnesota Brewers Oppose Action of the Indian Bureau. Claim Beer Is Not Spirituous Liquor Under the Treaties. Washington – Is beer a spirituous liquor? Upon the determination of that question will depend whether the beverage can be introduced into Moorhead, Minn., which is situated on ceded Indian lands and is said to be the shipping point of brewers for their
trade in North Dakota, a “dry” state. The Minnesota State Brewers’ association has telegraphed a protest to the bureau of Indian affairs against its recent action in extending prohibition to Moorhead insofar as the order applies to the importation of beer. The brewers claimed that beer is not a spirituous liquor and consequently does not come within the prohibition contained in the treaties under which the lands were ceded. Have Until September 15. Supervisor Holcombe of the Indian bureau, has informed the complainants that he cannot suspend the instructions as they desired, and that they will have until Sept. 15 to remove such beer as may then be in Moorhead. It now devolves upon the brewers to convince the Indian bureau that beer is not a spirituous liquor. A few days ago the bureau of Indian affairs promulgated instructions to its field agents considerably extending the prohibition territory adjacent to the White Earth and Leech Lake reservations in Minnesota, in

accordance with treaty regulations and for the protection of the Indians from intoxication. Worried Over Situation. Saloonkeepers in Moorhead are at a loss to know what to do in the face of the attitude of the bureau of Indian affairs in ordering the closing of the saloons in Clay county. There are forty-seven saloons in the city and most of them are owned by Moorhead men. The general disposition on the part of those affected is to await further notice from the government as to the date of closing before attempting to have the order rescinded, if, indeed, any such attempt is made. The license fees, amounting to $47,000, have only recently been paid into the city treasury and the city authorities are worried over the question as to whether this amount will have to be refunded in the event of an immediate closing. Lawyers are divided over this legal question.
Duluth Herald July 20, 1920 STREET RAILWAY STRIKE JULY 28 BELIEVED CERTAIN RESENT CITY COUNCIL’S LACK OF INTEREST Consider Monday’s Turndown Slap in Face For Employes. Company Warns Men That Operation of Cars Will Continue. Duluth is due for a street railway strike on July 28, one week from tomorrow. Today the employes of the Duluth Street Railway company are voting on the proposal to walk out on that date and the concensus of opinion around the street railway headquarters, where the vote is being taken, is that the walkout cannot be avoided. That the expressed sentiment among the car operators and car house employes is overwhelmingly in favor of a strike, there appears to be no doubt; and it is not believed that anything but an increase in the wage scale will prevent it. The company has already pointed out to its employes that under present conditions and with a 5-cent fare in force, it cannot raise the wages of the employes; so that part of it is settled. Aimed at voters. That the strike will not be aimed at the company, but at the voters, who on June 21, at a special election, refused to grant a g0cent fare, is fully admitted. It will also be an expression of resentment, it is claimed, at the action, or lack of action, of the city commissioners, sitting in-council yesterday, when the employes of the street railway company asked that the council take action of its own accord and grant the company the right to charge 6 cents. The city council refused to take action. The employes feel that because not one of the commissioners even offered to introduce such an ordinance, but flatly refused to make any move, was equivalent to a slap in the face to the employes’ organization which asked the relief.

Concentrated-poverty neighborhoods in Twin Cities have doubled since 1980 By Greta Kaul
According to new research by the Economic Innovation Group, a research and advocacy organization focused on inequality, there were 19 highpoverty neighborhoods in the Twin Cities in 1980. By 2018, that number had grown to 41. Those findings are important for two reasons: One, they show that once a neighborhood becomes a high-poverty neighborhood, it usually stays that way. And two: they show that the Twin Cities are a microcosm of the economic challenges facing the country. For their report, EIG researchers examined poverty rates for Census tracts, small units of geography containing between 1,000 and 8,000 residents that approximate neighborhoods. Neighborhoods were considered high-poverty if more than 30 percent of residents were living below the poverty line at the time. (The current statewide poverty rate is 9.6 percent.) In 2018, a family of four would be considered to be living in poverty if their household income was less than $25,465, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. From there, researchers split neighborhoods into four categories: newly poor, deepening poverty, persistently poor and turned around. In Hennepin and Ramsey counties, 40 percent of neighborhoods experiencing high poverty are newly poor, meaning they had poverty rates of less than 20 percent in 1980 and 30 percent or more in 2018. In Minneapolis, this includes tracts in Near North, Camden, Powderhorn and Cedar-Riverside. In St. Paul, this group includes parts of Summit-University, the North End, Payne-Phalen and Dayton’s Bluff. The tracts are mostly in the core cities; part of Brooklyn Park that saw its poverty rate go from 5 percent in 1980 to 31 percent in 2018 is the only high-poverty suburban Census tract in Hennepin or Ramsey County by EIG’s measure. Like the Brooklyn Park tract, Some of these neighborhoods saw poverty grow substantially between 1980 and 2018.
Roughly a fifth of the high-poverty Census tracts identified in the study were poor in 1980 and saw that poverty increase over the last 40 years. Researchers defined neighborhoods where poverty had deepened by looking at places with a poverty rate between 20 and 30 percent in 1980 that increased to 30 percent or more in 2018. In Minneapolis, that includes the northwest portion of Seward along Hiawatha, Stevens Square and a swath of Near North. In St. Paul, parts of Union Park, the West Side and Thomas-Dale. Although most of these neighborhoods have seen a reduction in their poverty rates since the Great Recession, they still have poverty rates more than 30 percent – higher than in 1980. One example of this is the Stevens’ Square area in Minneapolis, south of downtown. This neighborhood went from 29 percent of residents living in poverty in 1980 to 43 percent today. The part of Willard-Hay in Near North Minneapolis bounded by Penn and Plymouth has seen poverty deepen since the 1980s, going from 29 percent of residents living below the poverty in 1980 level to 41 percent in 2018. Roughly another third of tracts experienced persistent poverty – poverty rates were 30 percent or above in both 1980 and 2018. Minneapolis’ persistent poverty neighborhoods include several tracts in Near North and Phillips, much of the area hugging downtown, as well as Cedar-Riverside. St. Paul’s include parts of Thomas-Dale, Summit-University and the North End. One example of a neighborhood with persistent poverty is the Thomas Dale area surrounding the state Capitol. The area has seen poverty rates between 40 and 60 percent for the last 40 years. High poverty neighborhoods are generally high turnover neighborhoods. People move in, and out, renters move from building to building. The people living in a given home are changing, yet the poverty in these neighborhoods is persistent. “Once a community dips into decline, it’s very hard to pull back out

of it based on how residential markets are structured,” said Kenan Fikri, EIG’s director for research and an author of the research. “Once housing vacancies increase in a neighborhood and property values decline, all of a sudden it leads to just a negative spiral.” The study also looked at neighborhoods where the poverty rate decreased – turnaround neighborhoods. Neighborhoods had turned around if they had a poverty rate of 30 percent or more in 1980 and less than 20 percent in 2018. Examples of these neighborhoods
were few nationwide: just 14 percent of neighborhoods that were high poverty in 1980 turned around by 2018. These neighborhoods generally tend to be near downtowns or innovation districts, and many of them were in New York City. In Hennepin and Ramsey counties, there’s just one example of a turnaround neighborhood. It’s the North Loop, where turnaround was driven by new residential development. The North Loop area was barely residential just two decades ago; home to less than 700 households in 2000.
With the construction of high-rise apartment and condo buildings – housing for wealthy families – the number of households rose to more than 3,300 by 2015 and has only increased since. In 1980, North Loop’s poverty rate was nearly 36 percent. As of 2018, it was 15 percent. People who live in poverty are more likely to face hurdles with everything from health care to transportation and child care. When people in poverty live in high-poverty areas, those challenges are compounded by higher crime rates, poorer health outcomes, struggling schools and a lack of job networks. “There are a set of issues wrapped up in neighborhood poverty that reflect systemic challenges facing the United States along cultural, social, demographic and racial lines,” Fikri said. These neighborhoods also play a role in cementing other inequalities: In the Twin Cities, high-poverty areas tend to be segregated, with people of color – especially Black people – making up a large share of residents. Those patterns of segregation have
deep roots in racially restrictive covenants and redlining, which dictated who could live where and who could buy housing, affecting patterns of education and generational wealth. While the majority of Black residents of Hennepin and Ramsey counties do not live in high-poverty areas, Black residents are seven times more likely to be living in a high poverty neighborhoods than white residents, compared to six times more likely nationally. The picture of Minnesota on the whole is one broad-based prosperity,
Fikri said, but more targeted strategies are needed to reduce disparities. “You need to address not just poverty, but workforce development, education, even social capital and networks. Most people find jobs via other folks in their social network,” Fikri said. “Those networks in a highly segregated city – not just focused on racial lines but economic lines, means there’s complicated forces keeping poor places poorer.” That, he said, makes the Twin Cities a microcosm of the challenges facing the country right now.
“It’s a powerful symbol right now. Minneapolis is a quintessentially blue chip metropolitan economy. It is the headquarters capital of the world almost,” he said. “It is a poster child of American prosperity on the surface, but then underneath you have these really deep pockets of persistent poverty and inequality that haven’t been able to be overcome despite the wealth generated on the metropolitan scale.”

When families are faced with financial uncertainty or sudden income loss, addressing the situation takes more than just thinking about dol-
lars and cents, says Lori Hendrickson, Extension Educator and an accredited financial counselor with University of Minnesota Extension. “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.

Using pandemic as distraction for rolling back pollution control laws? Dear EarthTalk: Is it true that the Trump administration is using the cover of the COVID-19 crisis to roll back environmental health standards? J.K. Miami, FL Environmental advocates and others who care about clean air and water certainly seem to think the Trump administration has been taking advantage of the distractions of the Coronavirus pandemic and #BlackLivesMatter unrest to scale back environmental rules for the benefit of corporate interests and at the expense of public health. The Trump administration has been hacking away at environmental rules ever since it took office in 2017. But the recent round of rollbacks started in earnest in late March 2020 – just as COVID-19 began to dominate news cycles – when the White House quietly replaced Obama-era fuel economy standards for cars and trucks with weaker ones that allow for more air pollution, froze standards for fine particulates (soot) despite research that a slight bump in regulations could save tens of thousands of lives annually, and eased up on restrictions on the kinds of effluents polluters can release into streams and wetlands. Adding insult to injury, in early June President Trump issued an executive order waiving parts of the National Environmental Policy Act – the nation’s 50-year-old cornerstone environmental law – to spur the construction of highways, pipelines and other infrastructure projects. Meanwhile, the administration has doubled down on efforts to expand logging and oil drilling in Alaska while proposing to speed up permitting for off-shore fish farms, drop review requirements for liquefied natural gas terminals, and relax mercury pollution standards for power plants. The icing on the cake is that Trump wants to pillage ecosystems beyond our own planet, with a new proposal to mine the moon. Environmental leaders are crying foul that such moves aren’t only illegal but also put public and environmental health at risk – all while the nation
is distracted by COVID-19 and racial turbulence. “People right now are hunkered down trying to put food on the table, take care of people who are sick and worry about educating their children at home,” said former Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) chief (under Barack Obama) Gina McCarthy to the Guardian. McCarthy is now head of the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC). McCarthy added that the federal government is “literally not interested in the law or science [which] is going to become strikingly clear as people look at how the administration is handling Covid-19.” Environmentalists are also keeping their fingers crossed that Joe Biden becomes President in 2021 and can roll back the rollbacks. In the meantime, if you would like your voice to be heard, NRDC has made it easy to send comments via its website urging Trump and current EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler to maintain limits on industrial pollution and keep clean car standards on the books.

Environmentalists are worried the Trump administration is trying to ramrod a bunch of environmental rollbacks through while the nation is distracted with the Coronavirus and #BlackLivesMatter crises. Credit: Ion Ceban, pexels.com. of pollution and other environmental ills in proximity to certain groups based on race or income status – is on a list of 12 issues Black Lives Matter (BLM) considers pressing right now as part of its #WhatMatters2020 campaign. “Environmental racism kills. Air pollution and rollbacks to environmental protections and regulations make it hard for black people to breathe,” says Robert Bullard of the non-profit National Black Environmental Justice Network (NBEJN). Sammy Roth reports in the Los Angeles Times that there are many links between ecological degradation and inequality: “Consider water contamination in predominantly black and brown communities, such as Flint, Michigan, where experts say the drinking water crisis was rooted in systemic racism.” She cites a February 2020 Los Angeles Times investigation that found Black, Latino and lowincome California residents to be especially likely to live near polluting unplugged oil and gas wells. And many studies show that people of color are more likely than whites to live near power plants, oil refineries and landfills. “In the U.S., the best predictor of whether you live near a hazardous waste site is the color of
your skin.” To add insult to injury, climate change is already hitting people of color harder than others in the U.S., a fact not lost on BLM. “We are not saying that white people do not feel the impact of climate change,” BLM activists Patrisse Cullors and Nyeusi Nguvu report in a Guardian op-ed. “We are saying that if you are black then you are more likely to die as a result of it—and, if you survive, are more likely to struggle to replace what was lost and will receive little support in doing so.” What can we do to reduce or eliminate this insidious form of injustice? Activists blame governments as well as corporations for discriminating against racial minorities in deciding where to put pollution sources. Attending local zoning or planning board meetings in your city or town—and speaking up against what’s not right—would be a good start. But, of course, there is more to the story. Only when a majority of elected officials agree can we begin to enact laws that regulate how governments and companies treat minority and lowincome communities.

Overactive thyroid leads to insomnia Q: Three years ago, I had several scans with iodine for diverticulitis. As a result, I lost weight, couldn’t sleep and developed irregular heartbeats and other signs of hyperthyroidism. I went to a thyroid doctor, and he found antithyroid antibodies. After three years, my situation has calmed down some, but I still can’t sleep well and have other symptoms of excess thyroid. Besides avoiding iodine, what else can I do to treat my overactive thyroid? A: Iodine is a common component of contrast media used for medical images such as X-rays and CT scans. Some people react to this exposure by developing thyroid problems. Some common symptoms of hyperthyroidism include insomnia, anxiety, tremor, heart palpitations, rapid pulse and weight loss. You can learn more about both under- and overactive thyroid in our eGuide to Thyroid Hormones. This online resource is accessible in the Health eGuide section of PeoplesPharmacy.com. There are three ways to treat hyperthyroidism: surgery, radioactive iodine or thyroid-suppressing drugs such as methimazole. Weighing the pros and cons of each is critical. You will need a doctor you can trust to help you assess which treatment is best for you. Q: I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and was immediately put on Lamictal and Abilify. In the past two years, I have developed tardive dyskinesia. When the doctor diagnosed it, she upped my dose of Abilify. She didn’t seem concerned at all, but she told me tardive dyskinesia is irreversible. She didn’t even give me a chance to talk about it! I am very angry about this. I was never told that Abilify carried a risk of TD. I went on the med because I didn’t know any better. I am so upset about this because I heard TD can worsen after you discontinue Abilify. I don’t know what to do. I can’t trust my psychiatrist
anymore. I’m thinking about stopping Abilify on my own. I think I can cut the pills in half and then in half again and go very slowly. I feel like I need to act as my own advocate in this situation. I feel betrayed by the doctor who was supposed to make me feel better. Right now, I have twitches in my hands and legs, grimacing and pursing of my mouth and severe jaw clenching in addition to the tongue rolling in my mouth. Is there anything that will help? A: Tardive dyskinesia is a devastating consequence of certain psychiatric medications. Older antipsychotic drugs like chlorpromazine (Thorazine) and haloperidol (Haldol) cause this adverse reaction in up to 32% of patients. Newer medications like aripiprazole (Abilify) can trigger TD in 13%. The uncontrollable muscle movements you describe are typical of TD and can be devastating. Until recently, there were no successful treatments. In the past few years, the Food and Drug Administration approved two new medications to treat this condition: valbenazine (Ingrezza) and deutetrabenazine (Austedo). Clinical trials demonstrated that approximately 50% of TD patients who received valbenazine experienced improvement (Therapeutic Advances in Psychopharmacology, May 20, 2019). Deutetrabenazine was helpful for about half the patients with involuntary movements, compared with 20% to 30% of those on placebo. Both valbenazine and deutetrabenazine have side effects, including drowsiness, dry mouth, restlessness, headache and fatigue. Do not stop Abilify on your own. A very gradual tapering under medical supervision may be required.

Six of the vehicles are 40 ft., and four are 35 ft. • Effective Sunday, July, 19, the DTA will eliminate the two single-direction bus stops located within the Miller Hill Target Parking lot, replacing it with a bi-directional stop along Maple Grove Road near the Target entrance. This stop will serve passengers heading both outbound “From Downtown” and inbound “To Downtown.” This change has been implemented to increase safety and reduce potential conflicts with pedestrians and vehicles within the parking lot. These changes come in addition to the intensive measures taken by the DTA to protect the public and employees during the Covid-19 pandemic. Key measures have included encouraging essential trips only, enhanced efforts to sanitize/ disinfect buses and facilities daily, eliminating fares (and associated congestion near the front of buses), rear-door boarding and alighting, and the requirement of masks/face coverings for DTA bus drivers. The DTA is also strongly encouraging passengers to wear masks on our buses and while in our facilities. More information is available at DuluthTransit.com.

Care providers support caregiver designation LeadingAge Minnesota and Care Providers of Minnesota are pleased with the outcome of our collaboration with the Minnesota Department of Health and other stakeholders on the Essential Caregiver designation. The role is the appropriate next step in reconnecting long-term care residents with their personal caregivers, while continuing to prioritize safe care for all. It carefully balances the need to prevent COVID-19 in congregate settings with the strong desire for personalized care and meaningful social connections. Long-term care settings will continue to take all the necessary, required measures to protect our residents and staff, including using available testing, screening procedures, PPE, and infection control. This new opportunity will support family caregivers’ ability to participate in the safe care of their relatives. “We know it has been a long four months for our residents and essential caregivers,” says Patti Cullen, President and CEO of Care Providers of Minnesota. “We hope that this designation will provide the needed support as an interim step until it is safe to resume visitations on a broader scale. We will continue to work with stakeholders on a broader visitation option while carefully looking at
Approximately 7,000 Minnesota child care providers will be eligible for $56.6 million in funds to help ensure children’s and staff’s health and safety in their child care settings during COVID-19. The new COVID-19 Public Health Support Funds for Child Care program is specifically designed to provide support to all child care providers who qualify. Child care providers can apply for the funding starting at 8 a.m. on July 15. Applications are due by 5 p.m. Thursday, July 23. To apply for these funds, providers fill out an online application using a link that they will receive via email from the Minnesota Department of Human Services on July 15. All eligible providers who apply will receive funds. “Child care providers play a critical role in caring for children and supporting our economy by enabling children’s parents to go to work,” said Human Services Commissioner Jodi Harpstead. “They have gone above and beyond during the public health emergency, and are now facing additional costs to ensure the health and safety of their staff and the families they serve. We want to support them as much as we can with this funding.” To qualify, providers must show they were operating and serving children as of June 15, 2020, and attest to remaining open and serving children for the duration of the funding period, among other criteria.
Historical society removes non-functioning beacon Ever since the beacon went dark Nov. 25, 2019, the Lake County Historical Society (LCHS) has been working to re-light the beacon at the iconic Two Harbors lighthouse located on a rocky point between Burlington and Agate Bays. Since 1892, the Two Harbors

Lighthouse has been guiding ships into the Agate Bay ore docks. This station now operates as the Lighthouse Bed and Breakfast year round and as a museum during the summer months and is still used as an aid to navigation. In 2000, when the lighthouse was transferred to LCHS, a DCB 224 beacon was installed in the lighthouse with help from the United States Coast Guard. This beacon was originally built in 1969 and was re-purposed from another lighthouse prior to installation at the Two Harbors Lighthouse. For the past 20 years, LCHS has been managing the beacon with the help of four volunteer lighthouse keepers. The beacon has had to be repaired and modified many times. On Nov. 25, the beacon had a failure that could not be repaired. “The Two Harbors Station has been the oldest, continuously operating lighthouse on the North Shore.” State Ellen Lynch, LCHS Executive Director. “As a visible symbol of Two Harbors and a fixture on the north shore for over 125 years, it is integral to continue to operate the lighthouse so future generations can connect with the vibrant history of the lighthouse and our community.” On July 11, the four volunteer lighthouse keepers were able to remove the non functioning DCB 224 beacon. This is a major step in re-lighting the Two Harbors Lighthouse. What’s next? In July a new Maxiluna-300 beacon will be installed. Visitors will note the iconic light sweep will be replaced with a flashing beacon. This beacon will be on loan for five

Gitchi ode’ Akiing can be easily accessed via the Lakewalk from both Fitger’s and Canal Park along with an entrance at 214 E. Superior St., across from the Norshor Theatre. The market will run every Tuesday from 11am to 1 pm through Sept. 29.
NBC provides $8,000 to Superior Fire Department National Bank of Commerce (NBC), the area’s largest, locally-owned, fullservice community bank, recently donated $8,000 to the Superior Fire Department (SFD) to purchase a MSA thermal imaging camera. Their original camera was destroyed in a house fire. By making this donation, NBC has supported SFD’s mission to preserve life, property and the environment by safely providing the highest quality of service to the Superior community. “The thermal imaging camera senses heat signatures, this allows the firefighters to see through heavy smoke. The camera helps us find hidden fire, reducing property loss and keeping our fire fighters safe,” said Camron Vollbrecht, SFD Battalion Chief. He went on to state, “More importantly the camera allows us to quickly search and find fire victims. The camera that was on Engine 2 (housed at 723 Hammond) was destroyed at a fire in January during an attempted rescue of a citizen. Sadly, Engine 2 has been without a camera since then.” National Bank of Commerce

Pipelines and indigenous protest Mni wichoni. Water is life. Whether in the Lakota language or English, it’s a simple truth. In North Dakota, “Water is Life” banners flew over the indigenous resistance camps that sprang up in 2016 at the confluence of the Cannonball and Missouri Rivers, opposing construction of DAPL, the Dakota Access Pipeline. Water protectors from over 200 native tribes across the Americas arrived, along with thousands of their allies. They called DAPL “the black snake,” a 1,168-mile long pipeline designed to carry over half a million barrels of fracked oil per day from North Dakota’s Bakken oil fields through North and South Dakota and Iowa to Illinois, bound for refineries on the Gulf Coast. DAPL’s passage through unceded Lakota territory, underneath the Missouri River at Lake Oahe, threatened the water on which the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe depends, along with 17 million people downriver. Over Labor Day weekend 2016, we travelled to Standing Rock with our Democracy Now! news colleagues to report on the pipeline resistance. As indigenous water protectors put their bodies on the line, blocking destruction of sacred sites by DAPL bulldozers, we documented DAPL’s private security forces pepper spraying, beating and unleashing attack dogs on the nonviolent protesters. One dog had blood dripping from its nose and mouth, reminiscent of the mastiffs used to attack indigenous peoples in the Americas since the time of Christopher Columbus and the Spanish conquistadors. Our video went viral, viewed more than 12 million times in just 24 hours. Within days, President Barack Obama, through surrogates at the Army and the Departments of Justice and Interior, ordered construction halted. A few months and an election later, in January 2017, one of President Donald Trump’s first acts in office was to greenlight the project,

A shot from Democracy Now’s! 2016 video of pipeline protests. allowing the pipeline’s completion – a huge gift to billionaire Trump supporter Kelcy Warren, CEO of Energy Transfer, which owns DAPL. It’s been pumping oil ever since. That is, until a federal judge this week ordered the pipeline shut down and emptied within a month. It was a stunning victory for the tribe. Energy Transfer is appealing the decision. The ruling hinges on a 1970 law called NEPA, the National Environmental Policy Act, requiring all major projects seeking federal permits to include a rigorous environmental review with public input. Trump is currently trying to strip NEPA of any meaningful regulatory power. Trump’s DAPL executive order prompted the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to issue a construction permit without a proper, NEPAmandated Environmental Impact Statement. The tribe sued. After more than three years of litigation, U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg agreed, forcing the shutdown until the Army Corps of Engineers performs a complete EIS, which the Corps estimates will take 13 months. Responding to this week’s court decision, LaDonna Brave Bull Allard, a longtime member of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe who hosted the first DAPL resistance camp on her property along the Cannonball River, said on Democracy Now!: “I’m still overwhelmed. If people could understand how much I love my home, how much I

love my land and my river, it is the greatest thing in the whole world. I know that it’s going to be appealed.” She went on: “There must be justice in this world, and there must be accountability. ... We need, as Native people, not to be invisible in our own homelands.” This was not the only recent victory for pipeline opponents fighting for a sustainable future. Duke and Dominion Energy announced they are scrapping plans to build the 600-mile Atlantic Coast Pipeline, slated to carry fracked gas from West Virginia to North Carolina. The companies blamed expensive litigation and the costs of dealing with continued protests for their decision. “There was an awful lot of opposition to this,” Donna Chavis, senior fossil fuel campaigner for Friends of the Earth and an elder of
the indigenous Lumbee Nation in North Carolina, said on Democracy Now!. She described the intersectional organizing that helped defeat the pipeline, “We were working up and down the pipeline in resistance and opposition ... crossing the boundaries between race and class, and bringing together the Indigenous and African American communities.” There are more than 200,000 miles of active petroleum pipelines in the U.S., and ongoing campaigns against pipeline construction projects like the Keystone XL, Enbridge Line 3 in northern Minnesota and the Coastal GasLink pipeline in British Columbia. This resistance is led by indigenous, frontline communities with growing solidarity movements joining them. If we are to avoid catastrophic climate change, we have to leave the oil, gas and coal in the ground. Now is the time to launch a green recovery from the pandemic, investing in renewables, not pipelines. As LaDonna Brave Bull Allard observed, “We’re here for the long journey ... it’s about how we live in the future.” Amy Goodman is the host of Democracy Now!, a daily international TV/ radio news hour (airing locally at 9 am weekdays on KUMD, 103.3).

Dysfunctional disfunction Don’t know about you, but I enjoy tinkering, especially when it involves recycling a piece of junk to a useful purpose. My trove holds lots of scrap in need of an extended or new life. God it is fun putting a discard to use! At my other house I made woodshed latches from broken broom handles and scrap wood. Yes, it was very likely much easier to go buy a latch. But what was the joy in that? I quickly admit that keeping garbage can become a very bad habit. Hoarders deserve their reputations. But if you save to use and then use it’s no longer hoarding. I call it creative recycling, but best to not let the collection outstrip potential needs. It’s enough to save one or two broomsticks. Twenty would be 18 too many. While puttering around this topic I’m reminded how often it’s necessary to tweak a product straight off the shelf. It must be cost-saving ambitions that cause significant numbers of new products to be a near failure right off the blocks. The item will appear OK, but, well, when you go to actually use it you discover the flaw hidden in some shortcut of manufacture or packing. Drives me crazy! I wonder. Are the ones making and selling things that won’t work properly part of the same clan behind the NEW menus we have to hear about making a call. I was comforted hearing a vehicle service group was concerned for my viral health. But I doubt there was much health risk on the phone or valid reason to hold me online until one machine passed me to another. The improvers behind those improvements should have statues erected to their self-praising ways so there’d be a monument I approved of toppling over. Seems to me too many programmers working cozily from home have had too much time on hands to do other than make empty improvements. Yes please send me an e-mail to confirm my non-working e-mail. They have done something and they are happy. That what they’ve done is useless matters only in its usefulness in asking for a raise in a firm where appearance counts.
As pins get bowled down by contemporary-issue bowlers the dysfunctional function comes into fuller and more lively bloom. I wonder who said Gone With The Wind was more than fictional drama that needed taking down? I’d have to suppose that if Gone is a disgrace then so is MASH as a historically accurate portrayal of the Korean conflict. Then we have Star Wars and Star Trek as horrible flops in the area of astronomy. And note this Wylie E is not a coyote supremacist in skits that are not about the Grand (in Minnesota the Pretty Nice) Canyon. Among functions perfected are those (you’re likely to know one or two) who have done nothing but yet seem to know everything. This is often a sign they will seek public office in order to better share their amazing abilities. Isn’t it curious how useless people succeed in office? There has to be a lesson in that somewhere. As for the rest of us, among us are those who wish to impose a better society for the betterment of all; or at least that’s what’s said. I cheer the idealism and effort, truly I do. Doing better is laudable. The impediment to societal; perfection, however, seems to be people with their imperfections making a mess of grand plans. Imperfection got us kicked from Eden’s Garden, didn’t it, so we’ve been at it a long time. Perfection plans in the 20th and 21st centuries has run along lines of social awakening to achieve universal peace. Getting woke up precedes the fields of killing which seemingly aren’t as meaningful unless you’re wide awake to appreciate them. Once awakened appreciation begins for the versions of purges or cleansings needed because too damn many of us just aren’t perfect enough. As a quip puts it “The killing will continue until morale improves.” You can find examples from Bosnia to Cambodia and beyond. Successful perfection has so far escaped us, but humanity may have come close a time or two. Remember the Shakers? They had a good plan, perfect you might say. But try to find a Shaker these days. Just try, too peaceful, I suspect, to stand up to the

Who dares to hate this smiling visage? purveyors of other forms of perfection. Is there a difference between functions dis and mal? Take the last two Presidents. Trump misfires so often (talking before thinking) it seems natural. How to characterize that; is it mal or dis? Too complex for me. The one before Trump is easier and in my view the malfunction winner. How you ask? Remember the speech at the UN apologizing for the Inquisition
(Spanish) and Crusades (European) both occurring long before there was a United States able to be held culpable. At times dysfunction, malfunction, or mal intent are difficult to untangle, but it must have been very important to President Obama for him to make an apologetic speech before the UN. Inquisitions and crusades are bad, but wait. When a worthy apologist later decides what matters for the lives that matter then crusading inquisitions are seen in a more favorable light indeed. The way of perfectionist plans (political or religious being much the same in outcome) is to begin with a view of paradise and then produce hades as people fail to perform to perfection. Nothing much’s changed from Eden’s Garden has it? Lots of Churchill hatred lately. Would he be denounced if he hadn’t been effective stopping the national socialists and fascists? For example, who hates Jimmy Carter or can say what he accomplished in office? The currently faithful eschew getting on their knees in favor of wearing masks. The more devout among them carry signs calling for others to repent their wicked ways. Current believers are also more progressive regarding punishment and consequences in the here and now instead of waiting for a reckoning in the hereafter. I think I prefer the old way of waiting.

years ago and often felt like I was in Europe. The cruise line I was on, Alaskan Dream Cruises, has canceled its sailings through July, but early September was a perfect time for an Inside Passage cruise. Banned from Europe? Try these American cities It’s not just the landscapes that make you feel like you’re back in Europe. Our cities do, too. If you had plans to visit Spain, why not reroute to St. Augustine, Florida.? It’s the oldest continuously occupied European settlement in the country. A little hot and humid this time of year – but then again, so is Spain. Or you can visit Santa Fe, New Mexico, which probably has more antique stores and art galleries than the average ciudad. But from the right angle, you can’t tell ’em apart. San Juan, Puerto Rico, is also old, European and historic, plus you get the added authenticity of speaking Spanish. Since I grew up in Austria, I have a thing for German-themed cities. And there are plenty of them in America. On the east coast, there’s Helen, Georgia, which looks a lot like a small Bavarian town. New Glarus, Wisconsin, which calls itself “America’s Little Switzerland” – why does everyone want to be Switzerland? – has a historic village and a brewery where they serve the world-famous Spotted Cow Ale. There’s also Leavenworth, Washington, another Bavarian-looking mountain town near Washington’s north-central Cascade Mountains. It gets almost every detail correct, including the Maibaum in the town square. If you live in Seattle, chances are you’ve already made the 2 ½-hour drive to this tourist attraction. It’s usually crowded during the summer, except maybe this summer. I could go on. Boston, Charleston, South Carolina, Solvang, California, Alexandria, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. all offer a more continental experience. All are worth checking out if you need an Old World fix this summer. Should you even try to replace Europe? But can you really replace Europe? Some places in America come pretty darned close. If you drop by Olsen’s Danish Village Bakery in Solvang, the kringles are as good as they get. You might also be lucky enough to meet Bent Olsen, the fourth-generation Danish-American baker who owns the place. Other places are not so authentic, but you gotta give them
points for trying. Replacing the European vacation experience is impossible, though. The illusion is shattered by a four-lane highway with fast-food joints and gas stations. Yep, you’re still in America. “It is not worth trying to duplicate a European vacation,” says Birgitt Vaughan, who grew up in Germany and now works for Sonoma County Tourism. “Rather, embrace what makes a destination special.” If you’re banned from Europe, here’s how to find it in America Almost every American town has a little bit of Europe in it. You just have to know where to look. It’s all about the bread If you’re looking for a taste of Europe, try finding a local bakery like the R. Weinrich German Bakery in South Philadelphia or the Yalaha Bakery in Central Florida. Places like that attract a fair number of expatriates, so you can go practice your German if you want. Have a pint (or two) If nightlife is more your thing, you’ll find plenty of British pubs or German breweries close by. Call ahead before visiting to be sure they’re open. If the social distancing rules and coronavirus closures don’t allow it, you can always enjoy a pint of Guinness at home. Where’s the closest deli? For a real taste of Europe, you have one more option: Find a nearby deli. When I visited Houston last summer, one of the highlights was a visit to Kenny & Ziggy’s Deli. I can’t do the menu justice in the space remaining. A meal here will make you feel like you’re back in the Old World. I’d like to know: Why even bother? I wrote this story up quickly right after the European travel ban went into effect. It was kind of a knee-jerk response. I wanted to help readers who needed their Old World fix this summer. But as I talked to travelers during my research, including many of you, I wondered: Why are we even bothering? I mean, the whole country is sick. Trying to capture a little bit of Europe amid this pandemic disaster of Biblical proportions seems trivial and kind of tone deaf.

Fishing for knowledge Editor’s note: This article from last summer recently earned First Place in the Newspaper/Family Participation-Youth Outdoor Education category of the Outdoor Writers Association of America’s 2020 Excellence in Craft Contest! Emily’s book, Natural Connections 2: Dreaming of an Elfin Skimmer, also won second place in the book category! The last time I felt like a serious angler I was 5 years old, and my brother and I were pulling crappies out from under a bridge one after another. I’m not sure my dad ever got a line in the water, because he was so busy removing our fish and replacing our worms from the stern of the canoe. That was an epic evening, and it became one of our most lovingly worn family stories. That was the peak of my fishing career. Fish are CONNECTIONS a murky mystery in my repertoire of natural history knowledge, but I’ve been trying to remedy that. A few weeks ago my learning came in the form of electroshocking trout with the DNR on the Namekagon River. More recently I joined a DNR crew to tag both sturgeon and smallmouth bass on the Couderay River. They’re monitoring the fish’s return after a dam removal downstream. Combining science with fishing on beautiful rivers is a treat, and I’ll tell you more about that later. In between those two Museum programs, I rushed off to Yellowstone National Park for a quick trip with my parents, brother, sister-in-law, and their four kids. It was the reunion tour of a 1989 family vacation when I was 7 and my brother Andy was 11. Like the evening of crappies, that trip to Yellowstone was an epic vacation we measured all others against.

We watched a grizzly bear eating a fish in Hayden Valley, marveled at Old Faithful, and ate countless meals of pieiron pizzas around various campfires. I wasn’t planning to make this vacation into another fish field trip, but my middle nephew, 15-year-old Derek, had his own plans. The rest of us were focused on seeing the geysers, mud pots, and hot springs; spotting the wildlife; and doing a little hiking. Derek only wanted to fish. The compromise: we made a point to find picnic areas near streams when we stopped for lunch and dinner. Derek fished while we ate. The first evening we hit a jackpot. Our route from the Lamar Valley back down to West Yellowstone took us right past the Sheepeater Cliff picnic area just when our stomachs were starting to growl. Named after a small tribe of Native Americans who specialized in hunting bighorn sheep, the Sheepeater Cliffs are spectacular walls of columnar jointed basalt. That’s the same type of rock I’ve visited at Devil’s Postpile National Monument in California, and that many of us have seen at Gooseberry Falls State Park on Minnesota’s North Shore. The picnic area sits just beyond the jumble of rocks at the base of one cliff. It’s close enough that we kids (the 10-year-old twins and I) could scramble around while brats heated on our portable grill, and we all could watch marmots scurry through the talus while we ate. The Gardner River that exposed those cliffs just happens to be one of the few streams in Yellowstone where kids are allowed to fish with worms. Derek was in heaven. He caught his first fish within minutes. I was thrilled to recognize the little guy with light spots on a dark background as a brook trout – the favored son of the Namekagon River and its spring-fed tributaries that I’d helped catch while electrofishing. Derek soon squashed my excitement though, when he informed me that brook trout were introduced here, and
Rainbow trout are non-native species in Yellowstone National Park, and eating them benefits the survival of the native cutthroat trout. My nephew Derek was happy to do his part for conservation. Photo by Emily Stone. that they are one of the culprits in the decline of the native cutthroat trout. I’ve known for several years that lake trout in Yellowstone Lake are a serious threat to cutthroats, since my friend Kris Millgate wrote about the gillnetting operations to remove non-native lakers. But I hadn’t paid attention to the less extreme fish competition and management happening in Yellowstone’s streams, until now. Later in the week, we found ourselves lighting charcoal at a different picnic area, and setting up an assembly line to make pie-iron pizzas. This would be the kids’ first experience with Andy’s and my favorite camping meal. Of course, Derek disappeared up the stream, and soon returned with a tiny little rainbow trout, less than 6 inches long. In some areas of the park, designated as “Nonnative Trout Tolerance Areas” even the introduced fish are so important to wildlife that anglers must release all rainbows and brown trout, and keep only a limit of five brookies. This evening’s creek was in a “Native Trout Conservation Area,” though, and the regulations require anglers to catch and release all native fish, but put no possession limit on nonnative fish. Soon that little rainbow – minus its head and guts – was steaming merrily in a foil packet on top of the coals. Later – with his pizza sitting nearby getting cold – Derek expertly removed the fish’s spine and ribs in one elegant piece. Chewing thoughtfully, he announced that he could taste the
sulfur from the hot springs that flowed into this creek, and offered me a bite. I accepted the flaky white chunk of perfectly cooked meat, and decided that whatever sulfur I sensed was through my nose not my tongue: Yellowstone’s own terroir. I’ll probably never be a more serious angler than that evening when I was 5, but I’m happy to report that by hanging out with the experts, I’m slowly filling in some gaps in my natural history knowledge. Derek’s obsession with fishing gave us all a better understanding of the conservation happening in America’s first national park, and those experiences are now part of a new generation of family stories.

St.Paul was base for America First movement The expression “America First” has been used by numerous American organizations and movements since at least 1914. Most of them opposed US involvement in foreign conflicts. The Minnesota-based America First Association (AFA) was an exception in that it was formed to support the United States’ entry into World War I. Nearly three years after the war in Europe began, the United States declared war on Germany on April 6, 1917. Soon thereafter, a group of prominent Minnesotans, including the president of the University of Minnesota, issued an in- MN HISTORICAL vitation to SOCIETY “fellow citizens of Minnesota” to attend loyalty meetings in November of 1917. The letter declared that “[our] objects are to unite the people in support of the Government in its gigantic task of winning the war, and to make Americanism the paramount issue of the present.” Residents in many counties selected delegates to the primary St. Paul meeting, which was held on November 16, 1917. At this meeting, the delegates adopted the constitution for the America First Association, which would be based in St. Paul. The leaders of the AFA sought to counter what they perceived to be apathy or hostility toward the American war effort against Germany and Austria. Some labor and civic leaders continued to oppose entry into the war. According to the 1910 census, more than
MINN HISTORY
half of the population of Minnesota were natives of Germany, Austria, Scandinavia, or Ireland or were children of such natives, and some AFA members were concerned about their loyalty. It was thought that Scandinavians tended to be more sympathetic to Germany than to the United Kingdom. Minnesotans of Irish descent were believed to be hostile to the British. According to the president of the AFA, however, people of all backgrounds could be good Americans if they fully endorsed the American system of government and supported the war effort by, for example, participating in the Liberty Loan program. The principal activity of the war-time AFA was to conduct meetings throughout the state to promote “Americanism” in support of the war effort. Attendees at these meetings were encouraged to sign pledge cards and join the AFA. The officers and county representatives of AFA held follow-up meetings in which they reported the extent of Americanism in their communities (e.g., 90 percent Americanism). By the end of the war, the AFA claimed more than 100,000 members. The signing of the armistice ended fighting in Europe on November 11, 1918, thereby eliminating the AFA’s reason for existence. In meetings held in January of 1919, the leaders of the AFA debated whether to disband the organization. They decided to continue but to change their focus from combatting “Prussianism” to fighting socialism and Bolshevism. They also adopted a new constitution and a resolution to advance their new goals. In the records and publications of the post-war AFA, there was considerable discussion of the dangers posed
to the American system of property rights and personal rights. AFA members feared, for example, socialists and their outreach to farmers, the activities of the Industrial Workers of the World (I.W.W.) and other so-called radical labor unions, the Nonpartisan League (a farmers’ organization), and developments in the North Dakota government that were considered socialistic. In its 1919 meetings, the AFA planned to educate students about the virtues of the American system and the dangers of socialism. It proposed to Minnesota education officials that one class period a week be set aside for Americanization work and that one day each school year be designated “America First Day.” It is not clear from the available records for how long, if ever, these plans were implemented.
The AFA demanded that English be used in schools. In 1919, the Minnesota Legislature passed a law requiring the use of English in the teaching of the basic courses. This requirement, with some exceptions, continues to the present in Minnesota law. AFA organizational records and Minneapolis newspapers do not reflect significant AFA activity after 1919. When World War II approached in the 1930s, new movements adopted the “America First” label, but they opposed, rather than supported, U.S. involvement in Europe.

Welcome back! We are looking forward to bringing you the finest possible movie theatre experience. But first, let’s talk about safety. We are implementing some changes to help make your visit as safe and comfortable as possible. The West Theatre’s plan meets, and, in some cases, exceeds the Governor’s guidelines for safe reopening practices. CLEANING • Our dedicated team has always had a great reputation for maintaining a very clean theatre, and now we are implementing even more rigorous cleaning practices. All customer contact surfaces will be disinfected before and after the start of each show, and regularly throughout the day. Hand sanitizer is available throughout the theatre. MASK POLICY • Masks are required at The West Theatre, both in the lobby and in all lounges, aisles and restrooms, and the auditorium itself. All employees will wear masks, and gloves when appropriate. If you forget to bring yours, we’ll set you up with a disposable mask. TEMPERATURE CHECKS • Using contact-free infrared thermometers, we’re going to take the temperature of our staff and guests daily upon arrival. Anyone with a temperature exceeding 100.4 degrees will be asked to return at a later date. • Daily before they begin work, team members will undergo a wellness check. • Please stay home if you are feeling sick. If you are coughing, sneezing or suspect you may have been exposed, please don’t risk it. We’ll gladly refund your purchase.
E.T. & 1917
JURASSIC PARK REOPENING JULY 17
SOCIAL DISTANCING • The West Theatre’s spacious auditorium is ideal for ensuring proper social distancing. We are closing every other row of seats, and when you choose your seats on thewesttheatre.com, at least two “buffer seats” on either side of your party will be automatically blocked off from purchase. Your group should be able to sit together, and we are limiting total capacity to about 25%. We strongly recommend advance reservations to ensure admittance. • To minimize crowded walkways and restrooms, we ask that guests remain seated after the movie ends and exit row by row. (If you’d like to stay to watch the credits, feel free). LAST BUT NOT LEAST • Credit cards are the preferred form of payment. • Our menu at reopening may be limited, with a focus on items we love, served in a way which minimizes exposure. • It’s an unusual time, and we expect release schedules to continually shift. • Want a private screening for just your family, friends or colleagues? We can make it happen – and it’s more affordable than you think. Get in touch with us and reserve your event now. Please check our website for the most up-to-date information.

Stanley Cup Tourney to start Aug. 1! TOFTE – As expected the National Hockey League CBA extension was put to a vote by the NHLPA membership and has been ratified. The vote was a unanimous one from the ownership and league side of the negotiation and the vote on the players side was 502 to 135. Only a simple majority was necessary for its passage but the PA vote had a 78% vote to accept. The tally on the players side was of interest to me and I wasn’t expecting unanimous approval from them. I’ll have to take a flyer though at this time as to why there was some dissent on the players’ side. That hasn’t been identified as of yet. For myself, I’m thinking that perhaps it came down to a matter of the new CBA extension being linked to whether the much-discussed Stanley Cup tourney would be held. I have been on record as stating that they are two separate matters and should not have been tied to one another. Since both parties agreed last September to not “opt out” of the CBA that was in place, the season continued forth with both the league and the PA working behind the scenes on extending the agreement that was in place prior to last Friday’s vote. Without the COVID pandemic coming into play the Stanley Cup tourney would have already been held and in the history books, and the two parties would either still be working toward extending the CBA that was in place or piecing together a new one altogether. So, the pandemic drastically alters life as we once knew it, and the league and PA do work out an extension with one caveat; if the PA doesn’t agree to an extension, there won’t be a tournament. Perhaps I’m looking for contention where there is none, or maybe, just maybe, the 135 players who voted against ratification are feeling just as I do. What does one have to do with the other? Somewhere in the near future I’ll offer up some opinion on the new deal, but since I am still sifting through the

details I am not prepared to do so yet. I will give an immense amount of credit to both sides here though. Both have quietly and diligently went about their work behind the scenes so to speak. Compared to the very public and very rambunctious dialogue we were witness to in the MLB-MLBPA negotiations, the hockey guys did a fantastic job. I can only imagine that the two parties did not agree on everything, that only stands to reason, however, that they kept it “in the room” speaks volumes to me about the quality of the relationships there and professionalism involved. Until I can obtain a better feel for what was agreed upon, what I can say at this time is a job well done to all involved. I am very glad this is settled and that we have some on-ice action in sight! WITH THE STANLEY CUP tourney slated to kickoff Aug. 1, it’s time to begin analyzing some odds and deciding who the favorites are, who could go a round or two and who a sleeper. “dark horse” candidate for a Cup victory might be. Phase 3 training camps can begin Monday the 13th. Clubs are allowed expanded rosters as a result and due to the time off since the March 12 suspension of competition many players who were out on IR at that time could very well be ready to play again and their presence could alter their clubs’ opportunities to advance. Just off the top of my head, I’d look at the return of Jake Guentzel to the Penguins lineup for one. He isn’t the biggest, strongest, fastest etc, player in the show, but based on a recent discussion I had with a former player who played Twin Cities summer league hockey with him, he is usually the smartest guy on the ice when he is out there. Put him out there with Sid Crosby and you’ve got trouble on your hands. The STL Blues will probably have elite-level scorer Vlad Tarasenko back in the lineup, boosting their chances at a repeat. In fact, if you review each team’s official IR list dating back to the cessation of play on March 12, there are several clubs that will be returning some elite-level talent that could boost their overall odds of tournament advancement. As for the WILD, at the time of the shutdown, they only had one player on IR and that was D-man Carson Soucy. It’s my understanding that he
is back in order for a return to play from a physical standpoint and the team record with him in the lineup is much better than without. The overall quality of his level of play boosts an already strong blueline for the veteran club. Having said that, the WILD will be facing the Vancouver Canucks in the qualifying, best of five round. A lot of veteran handicappers are favoring the Canucks in this series. OK. I can see that and understand why. The skill level of some of their young talent puts their team at a high level of play. The netminding of Jacob Markstrom gives them a chance in any game they are in. If you were to break down their 1920 schedule, it’s a mixed bag. They were good out of the gate in October at 8-4. They floundered in November with a 5-10 record. December featured some big wins against some top teams and then some losses for an 8-5 month. January was quite good at 8-3, February came in at a 5-7 clip, featuring two losses to the WILD and March was at a 2-3 clip prior to the league wide shutdown. With both teams having played 69 tilts at the time of the shutdown, Vancouver had a one point standings lead over the Wild. Who will do what with which to whom? Van’s top line is one of the best in the league, with some questions on

their overall depth at forward. The Wild have some skill too, but have more experience. Likewise on D for Van, but the overall nod on the blueline goes solidly to the Wild. Van can fill the net while the Wild seemingly have to plug away to get 3 to 4 goals per game. Van is the faster team, giving them a better transition game, but the Wild can go up against that by playing a superior 5-man unit game. Van is erratic in their defensive play and that’s not good in a playoff fight when everything is turned up a couple of notches. Between the pipes, I like Markstrom a lot, while it remains to be seen whether the Wild will lean to Dubnyk or put Big Al out there to do battle. The firstt game will be of epic importance, there will be no mulligans in these shorter series… PEACE

BIR brings Trans-Am back for ‘drive-in’ BRAINERD, MN. – There’s no state fair this year, and all the primary entertainment attractions are closed down for the pandemic, so Brainerd International Raceway threw a big weekend that had a little bit of everything on Sunday, including two parts of the legendary Trans-Am road races. Tony Drissi won the Jed Copham Memorial, the second 100-mile feature around the 2.5-mile course, although his victory had none of the drama as the first feature, for less-powerful Trans-Am 2 cars. But, as they say, getting there was half the fun, as in getting to the checkered flag. The Trans-Am tandem
SPORTS JOHN GILBERT
were the feature attractions of a day that included various classes of road racers on the course, while thundering drag racers hurtled down the long
Mike Skeen of Charlotte, N.C., drove his white No. 77 Camaro on the inside of the No. 81 Mustang of Thomas Merrill, Salinas, Ca., early in Sunday’s TransAm 2 feature. Skeen yielded the lead, but came back to win the race at BIR. straightaway that used to be the main part of BIR’s track, before it was reduced in size and tucked inside the previous layout. The big news was that spectators were allowed to drive in free, and “drive in” is the operative phrase, because fans could pull in and drive up to the inside fencing of the track and watch the races from their cars. The several grandstands and bleachers were taped off for proper spacing, and fans had the luxury of sitting in their cars and following along with a streaming broadcast, or listening to the public address announcer. Concessions were open, and you could drive up and order out — just like in your suburban neighborhood. Skeen led early in the Trans-Am 2 opener, and hurtled in to the banked right-hander on the inside of Thomas Merrill’s Mustang. “Three of us went in there together, and I backed off,” Skeen said, when interviewed over the PA system. His patience paid off because after trailing Merrill until things got hotter and a few cars spun off, Skeen had moved into the lead. After Scott Borchetta’s Mustang spun off into the infield, Skeen took off after the restart, and pulled away for a comfortable 2-plus second victory over Merrill after a spirited three-car battle for second. Texan Dylan Archer, son of former Duluthian Bobby Archer, took seventh in a Camaro.

In the second Trans-Am feature, the Jed Copham Memorial, Tomy Drissi got his first victory of the season, with Amy Ruman battling to take second, and Simon Gregg got third in a Jim Derhaag Racing Camaro. The winning Audi SR won the race on superb handling against the more powerful Camaros. In all, it was a return of big time racing to Minnesota, and for me and the few thousand other spectators watching as though at a drive-in movie, it was an escape from the pandemic shutdown on a perfect 85-degree day in the sun, and isolation worked. PLANTE RETURNS TO UMD Derek Plante capped a four-year career at UMD by winning WCHA player of the year by leading the league in goals, assists and points in 1993-94, then jumped right into the NHL to score 21 goals for the Buffalo Sabres. He went on to play with Dallas, Chicago and Philadelphia in the NHL — winning a Stanley Cup while with Dallas. He stands as UMD’s No. 3 all-time career point-getter, and after proved as good a coach as he was a player when he assisted Scott Sandelin and made an indelible impression on the players of the team who won the school’s first NCAA title in 2011, is returning to the same position. Plante did a lot of teaching as an assistant coach, and he also may have
D
done his best coaching by example when he helped organize the postpractice “AHL” for “Afternoon Hockey League,” a light-spirited but intense 3-on-3 series in which Plante would show extremely skilled Bulldogs how it could be done. “When I left UMD, I became Player Development coach for the Chicago Blackhawks,” Plante said. “I really enjoyed working with our drafted players who weren’t ready for the big club yet. But I also had enjoyed coaching in college too, and I recently started to think about it more.” A couple things happened to inspire Plante. First, his oldest son, Zam, is going into 10th grade, while Max, a year younger, is going into ninth grade and will be a second-year Bantam. The two were a dynamic duo for Hermantown’s state tournament Bantams last year. Son No. 3, Victor, is two years younger yet, and a Peewee. While he was able to live at home in Hermantown “and catch a lot of 6 a.m. flights to Chicago,” he said, the next few years will be when he wants to spend more time at home. The timing came to a head when Brett Larson, who formerly was an assistant coach alongside Plante at UMD and is now head coach at St. Cloud State, had an assistant coaching vacancy and called Plante.
DuluthReader.com
Derek Plante “We talked for quite a while,” Plante said. “He asked if I’d be interested, but I wasn’t sure. Larson later hired Dave Shyiak from Western Michigan. About then, Jason Herter decided to resign as co-head coach at UMD, creating an opening for Scott Sandelin that wasn’t quickly filled, during the pandemic. Plante had his opportunity, and when Sandelin called, the connection clicked. “I’m really looking forward to it,”
said Plante. “A lot of assistants get worn out by all the travel needed for recruiting, but I really enjoy that part of it, too, getting out to see the prospects and having a little say in who gets recruited. Adam Krause did a lot of recruiting last year, and he’ll be great to work with. “I was able to watch UMD play a few times last year, and they had a great team. Nick Swaney will be back, and he’s the only player left that I helped recruit, so I’ll be anxious to work with him again.” Derek said he and his wife were in Germany when they made up Zam’s name. “There are a lot of Sams and Cams, but we wanted something starting with ‘Z’ so we made it up,” said Plante. Naturally, as UMD’s No. 3 career scorer with 96 points, and the No. 3 goal-scorer with 36 in 1992-93 — the third-best single season in goals to Brett Hull’s 52 and Bill Watson’s 49, when he also registered UMD’s thirdbest assist season with 56 — behind only Watson and Tom Kurvers — Plante is in UMD’s athletic Hall of
Fame. But so is his wife, Kristi, who was both a basketball and softball star for the Bulldogs. LINE WINS PRO-STOCK The last time I was at BIR as for the NHRA Nationals last August, and it was also a fantastic weekend because Jason Line, of the Wright, Minnesota, racing Line family, won his first NHRA National Pro Stock title at his home track with a brilliant weekend. Line had to defeat his teammate, Greg Anderson of Duluth, in the semifinals before claiming the title at Indianapolis Sunday. Line has announced that he will keep working with race cars, but this will be his “farewell tour” as he is retiring from driving after this season.

Environmental groups argue details are missing on proposed Wisconsin pipeline relocation Enbridge says more information will be provided to regulators about Line 5 route By Danielle Kaeding Multiple environmental groups say a Canadian energy firm hasn’t provided enough information for state regulators to decide whether to grant waterway and wetlands permits for a proposed pipeline relocation project in northern Wisconsin. Regulators and the company say details have yet to be submitted and reviewed. But the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources said it’s made a tentative decision to approve the permits with modifications. Enbridge Inc. is proposing a roughly 40mile reroute of Line 5 outside the Bad River Reservation in Ashland and Iron counties that would cross more than 180 waterbodies and temporarily impact at least 109 acres of wetlands. Enbridge is looking to move its pipeline after the Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa filed a lawsuit to shut down and remove Line 5 from the tribe’s reservation. Midwest Environmental Advocates (MEA) and nine other organizations submitted comments, raising concerns about the route, surveys and plans that have yet to be completed. “DNR seems to be proceeding through the process without a complete permit application, which is really troubling,” said Rob Lee, MEA staff attorney. The agency contends it’s still early in the process with more work yet to be done, according to Ben Callan, the agency’s section chief of integration services within the Bureau of Environmental Analysis and Sustainability. While the application is deemed complete, he said that doesn’t mean that the project has met the agency’s standards. “We haven’t determined that we’re going to issue a permit,” said Callan.
“We have to go through a lot more evaluation and review before we can make a determination.” Callan added the agency plans to incorporate public input as part of an environmental impact statement, which must be completed before any decision is made. Callan said a timeline for that review hasn’t been determined. He noted the EIS would include details on the environmental and socioeconomic impacts of the project, which would also be subject to public comment. However, the groups highlighted that Enbridge has yet to identify the exact route since it’s still working with landowners to acquire property for the project. MEA also argues that Enbridge has failed to provide accurate or sufficient information on specific waterway crossings and its plans to avoid or minimize environmental impacts, as well as ownership information. Groups said the company informed regulators that it had only completed surveys for about 70 percent of affected waters. Enbridge argues its route was outlined in its application earlier this year and that ownership details have been submitted, adding it expects to wrap up all surveys for the pipeline relocation this week. In February, the energy firm submitted surveys along with data on areas that it hadn’t yet reviewed, according to Cathryn Hanson, the company’s environmental supervisor. Now, Enbridge plans to submit updated information to the agency, including photos of each of the water crossings. “It should reflect accurate results from what our surveys have completed and what we are intending to execute,” said Hanson. Hanson said the company is preparing reports and supplemental materials that should be submitted to the DNR by late July or early August. Yet, the groups also voiced concern about blasting that will be conducted along the pipeline route. “While that has occurred in the past, they haven’t even identified all of the locations that they’re going to engage in this blasting and the locations that they have identified are pretty sensitive
areas,” said Lee. Once a contractor is in place, Hanson said they will develop plans at each of the sites where blasting will be used. She expects those plans to be provided in the next several months as part of the DNR’s review before a final decision is made on the permits. Line 5 carries up to 23 million gallons of oil and natural gas liquids per day from Superior to Sarnia, Ontario. The company contends the pipeline would create 700 jobs during construction and serve as a vital energy link for the region. Environmental groups have opposed the project, citing its and Enbridge’s environmental track
record of spills. The company said it’s invested billions in the safety and integrity of its network. Enbridge has faced legal challenges on multiple fronts over its Line 5 pipeline, including a lawsuit from Michigan’s Attorney General to shut down and decommission the pipeline in the Straits of Mackinac.

National Marble Day scavenger hunt Northern Minnesota’s only public glass art studio-gallery puts on a marble scavenger hunt around Canal Park and the Lake Walk to celebrate National Marble Day. National Marble Day on July 23 is celebrated around the nation. Tradition calls for a marble scavenger hunt and this year, Lake Superior Art Glass decided it was time to celebrate. Dan, the owner of Lake Superior Art Glass, specializes in beautiful collectible marbles. We wanted to share in this fun and celebrate marbles here in our hometown of Duluth! For the scavenger hunt we will be hiding marbles throughout Canal Park and the Lakewalk.
ARTS IN BRIEF

Clues will be announced throughout the day on our website and social media, starting at 8 am and ending at 6pm. The clues will pertain to Duluth history. Ten marbles total will be hidden. If you find a marble, we ask that you post a photo of the marble and where you found it on Facebook or Instagram. Those that find and post their marble will be entered into a drawing to win a FREE FLAMEWORK CLASS. Looking for more fun from Lake Superior Art Glass? We are continuing our popular Designer Events with a Design Your Own Terrarium. We are working with our local friends at Flora North for this fun event.

Then they get a front-row seat as our artist creates the terrarium in our Hot Shop right in front of you! Flora North will house a beautiful air plant or plant a succulent. This event is only available from July 24 to Aug. 2. Sign up is available on

I look at my art from a tribal perspective. Through my art, I visualize a particular facet of Ojibwe experience. My paintings are personal visions of a tribal past. The imagery composes a micro/macro-scopic Ojibwe universe. Interwoven in this universe are creation stories, history, customs and traditions, and my central theme – Ojibwe Manidoowiwin, the tribal spirit of the Ojibwe people. Robert DesJarlait (Endaso-Giizhik) is from Miskwaagamiiwi-zaaga’igan (Red Lake). He belongs to Makwa Doodem (Bear Clan). He is an artist, writer, and traditional dancer. He began his career as a fine artist in 1983. He is also an illustrator and muralist. He currently lives in Onamia, Minn., with his wife and daughter.

school day, from morning hello’s to going home time. Perfect for sharing with a little one so they know just what to expect when they start school. Always Be A Unicorn Pearl E. Horne, author Kendra Spanjer, illustrator Bailiwick Press Always Be A Unicorn by the team of author/storyteller Pearl E. Horne and artist/illustrator Kendra Spanjer is a remarkable new unicorn book that celebrates individuality, kindness, family, friendship, and courage. A charmingly entertaining and even inspiring unicorn picture book for kids and grownups alike, Always Be A Unicorn urges readers of all ages to believe in their remarkable, singular, imperfect selves. And it’s not what’s on the outside that makes a unicorn a unicorn. It’s what’s on the inside. Which means anyone can be a unicorn! Yes, you. And you. And YOU! Very highly recommended. Think Outside the Box Justine Avery & Liuba Syrotiuk Suteki Creative “Think outside the box” is a common admonition when one is stymied about life’s puzzles, but how many books take the time to explain the process of doing so; much less how a young person should approach this idea at an early age? Justine Avery & Liuba Syrotiuk’s picture book is just the ticket for kids navigating “...a world filled with rules/ Where there are so many different options,/When you need to find your own way...”. From a solid definition of the concept (“Thinking outside the box is like coloring outside the lines - on purpose.”) to the mechanics of how to conduct purposeful creative thinking, young kids are encouraged to visualize and approach problems with a different skill set than logic alone. The lively and fun visuals illustrating this difficult, ethereal concept lend to a story that will best be enjoyed by read-aloud parents and kids together. This picture book proves that creative thinking can begin at an early age, with just a little guidance from an adult and a fun approach. That Dog!

Will he avoid getting caught himself and rescue his fellow creatures? That Dog! is a thoroughly entertaining and ‘kid friendly’ picture book for children ages 3-5. Dudley’s Day at Home Karen Kaufman Orloff, author Renee Andriani, illustrator Flash Light Press What does Dudley do all day while we’re away?” Sam wonders.

Breakout role for leader of Hughes’ Brat Pack Pretty in Pink Paramount Presents Blu-ray, $29.99 Reassessing Pretty in Pink one year short of the film’s 35th anniversary (now finally on Blu-ray for the first time), it’s interesting what an outlier it is in screenwriter/ producer John Hughes’ oeuvre. Most of his films have a central plot point that frames the entire movie – being stuck in detention (The Breakfast Club), an important birthday (Sixteen Candles), shirking responsibilities (Ferris Bueller’s Day Off),
sci-fi experimentation (Weird Science), the frustration of family (Home Alone). Pretty in Pink is simpler, less constructed, following Andie (Molly Ringwald) in the last few weeks before she graduates high school, figuring out what she wants, if anything, from a theoretically kind rich boy named Blane (Andrew McCarthy), or her longtime friend Duckie (Jon Cryer). The film has some thoughts on class, and the protagonists are classic Hughes rebels, but there’s a freedom here that many of Hughes’ other works don’t share. Hughes wrote the script with
DVD REVIEW TYLER FOSTER
66 July 16, 2020 DuluthReader.com
The passive-aggressive “Duckie” Dale (Jon Cryer) and Andie Walsh (Molly Ringwald) in Pretty in Pink (1986). Ringwald in mind after working with her on The Breakfast Club and Sixteen Candles, and it’s a pretty great role. Andie expresses her independence (and deals with her own lack of selfconfidence about money) by designing her own clothing out of things she buys in thrift shops or gets on the cheap. She is extremely supportive of her father (an especially charming Harry Dean Stanton), who has struggled with his own self-confidence in the years since his wife/Andie’s mom left, and has a female mentor in the form of her boss Iona (a delightful Annie Potts), who runs the record store where Andie works. What’s especially nice about Andie is that she has principles, she has interests, and yet she’s not easily classifiable when it comes to her personality. She is guarded, fiercely independent, wonderfully creative, lonely, and kind all at once. As previously mentioned, many Hughes characters defy the boxes they’ve been put into, which can be a valid shortcut to enriching a character, but Andie hasn’t been trapped in any image, which makes her feel even more authentic. Then there’s Duckie. Duckie is terrible in close to every one of his scenes in the film, nursing a long-standing crush on Andie that would be fine and normal if he ever talked to her about it. Instead, he goes in a skin-crawlingly creepy, passive-aggressive direction, trying to guilt Andie because she has feelings for Blane instead (his temper tantrum when Blane shows up for his
first date with Andie is thoroughly scummy). In one scene, he even plants a kiss on Iona as a means of getting revenge on Andie for liking Blane better. Hughes and Deutch luck out with Duckie on two counts: test audiences instinctively knew that Andie’s only feelings for Duckie are platonic and forced the ending to be changed, and within that context, the film plays as if Duckie learning his behavior is gross is his intended character arc. Of the central trio, Blane is probably the least-defined character. The film states that Blane is rich, and offers up a few tidbits about his character, but we never see his parents, nor learn anything substantial about his home life. McCarthy is charming in the role, and it’s clear his interest in Andie is sincere, which is enough to make the movie’s central romance work, but there’s probably more of Steff (James Spader), an arrogant asshole who seems to take no joy from anything but being cruel to people. The film’s class commentary ends up mostly playing like a dash of flavor rather than a central conceit (more clearly emphasizing that Duckie’s primary objection to Blane is classbased rather than an extension of his own crush would make him significantly less unpleasant), but the conflict that ultimately brews between Blane and Steff feels true enough, and fits within Hughes’ basic spirit. Taken as a whole, Pretty in Pink might seem messy, but Deutch has a naturalistic touch that makes the
rough-around-the-edges approach feel more like authenticity than sloppiness. The film feels less like A Movie in the way that other Hughes films sometimes do, and more like a slice of life, one version of a moment most people remember in their lives. Some fans of the film dislike the alternate ending that Hughes and Deutch came up with after a test audience booed the original climax, but it works in the sense that Pretty in Pink is more about a personal triumph than “happily ever after.” Andie stands up for her own unique, idiosyncratic self, and to a certain extent, so do Blane, Iona, Andie’s dad, and even Duckie. Pretty in Pink doesn’t go for the pleasure centers in the same crowdpleasing way as the rest of the Brat Pack classics, but that’s part of what makes it special. Pretty in Pink is the 6th disc in the new Paramount Presents line, and all of the releases so far follow the same basic design. The front cover uses the image that graced Paramount’s original DVD edition from years ago, which takes the image of the three leads from the theatrical poster, turns it black and white, and higlights Ringwald’s character by spot-coloring her shirt and
Sam Gabrielli Chief Meteorologist
the word “pink” in, well, pink. There is also a little tab in the bottom corner with the year on it, a Criterion-esque flourish. The image appears on both the sleeve and the slipcover, which has a flap that folds open to reveal the film’s full original theatrical poster (angled horizontally), which features the same image, but not in black and white, framed within a white backdrop.
Dan Hanger Anchor
The one-disc release comes in a clear, transparent Viva Elite Blu-ray case, and there is no insert, although there is a monochromatic photo collage with a quote from director Howard Deutch on the reverse of the sleeve. Each title in the Paramount Presents line has been offered up in a new 4K-re-mastered transfer. There was quite a bit of controversy about the first two entries in the series (To Catch a Thief, and to a lesser extent, King Creole), and there was concern that all of the highly-touted new remasters would be just as contentious. There are two new extras on the disc. First, we have a featurette called Filmmaker Focus: Howard Deutch on Pretty in Pink (7:38), a nice little sitdown with the director about his memories of John and working on the movie. There is also an isolated score, presented in Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo. The disc also includes the 2006 featurette The Lost Dance: The Original Ending (12:16), which dives into the notorious changes made to the film based on test audience scores (although, for the record, this featurette does not include the original ending in full). However – and anyone who’s bought
Alexandra Burnley Anchor
one of these Paramount Presents discs surely knows what I’m going to say next – Paramount has made the inexplicable decision to drop a wealth of extras that were done for the DVD editions of these movies, and Pretty in Pink suffers some of the heaviest losses. The 2006 Everything’s Duckie DVD edition included a whopping 84 additional minutes of behind-thescenes featurettes, as well as an entire audio commentary by Deutch, and a photo gallery. I have no idea why Paramount believes audiences aren’t interested in these extras – a baffling decision which really brings down the overall score for the bonus features. An original theatrical trailer for Pretty in Pink is also included. Of course, the film itself is what matters most, but if all viewers wanted was an outstanding presentation, they could get Paramount’s new 4K remaster in full UHD quality on digital services. I wouldn’t be surprised if fans would’ve preferred Paramount skip the creation of new extras if it had meant preserving all of the extras that already exist. The presentation is outstanding, and the opportunity to get the film on Blu-ray is probably still worth it...just keep your DVDs. Recommended.

LOOK Lancaster in a gritty London thriller
Kiss the Blood Off My Hands (Blu-ray) $29.95 Directed by Norman Foster in 1948, Kiss The Blood Off My Hands opens in a pub in London where a man named Bill Saunders (Burt Lancaster), a former soldier who clearly “saw some stuff” during his time in the war, winds up getting into a scrap with a fellow patron and accidently killing the man. There are a couple of witnesses but Bill takes off and hides out in a small apartment nearby until the cops move on. It turns out that this apartment is inhabited by a hospital worker named Jane Warton (Joan Fontaine) and while she’s frightened of the intruder, he makes it clear he won’t hurt her if she keeps quiet. She does, and he keeps his word. She heads out for work the next morning and he splits, leaving with her lighter. The next day, when she gets off work, he accosts her in the street to return her lighter and thank her for her help. It’s clear he’s interested in her and she’s equally intrigued by this handsome stranger, and it takes him a bit of convincing but soon enough she’s agreed to go out with him the next day. They wind up at a horse race track where she cleans up and he loses a bit. When she goes to collect her winnings, Bill is approached by a man named Harry Carter (Robert Newton), who just so happened to be in the pub when Bill killed that man. Harry tells Bill he’s got a job for a man like him, but before he
can do anything about it Bill winds up doing a stint in prison for six-months (after getting lashed by a cat o’ nine tails!) for assaulting a man on the train ride back home. With Bill out of prison, Jane can’t help but go back to him and she gets him a job as a driver at the hospital where she works. Bill takes to it and seems to like the work, but Harry shows up again and makes it clear that even if Bill is no longer interested in the job, Harry expects him to do it anyway. After all, Bill wouldn’t want Harry to speak up about his past… With a title like Kiss The Blood Off My Hands you’d expect a rough and tumble crime picture, a gritty, hardboiled film that would keep you on the edge of your seat. This isn’t that. It is, however, a solid thriller with a strong romantic streak, focusing just as much, if not more, on Bill and Jane’s troubled romance as it does on Bill’s troubles with Harry. That said, if you don’t mind the melodramatic aspects of the storyline, this works quite well. At less than 80 minutes the movie doesn’t overstay its welcome and it moves at a good clip, even if it never quite hits the heights of tension and suspense that you might hope it would. A big part of what makes this work is the cast. Lancaster (who co-produced as part of Norma Productions) is great as the lead. He’s charming enough that we can see why Jane might let her guard down around Bill, but he’s also pretty convincing when his character loses his temper, which happens semi-regularly in the film. Likewise, the lovely Joan Fontaine is very good here, believably cast in her part and sharing, if not Earthshattering chemistry with her co-star, enough of a spark to pull it off. That said, there are moments where Robert Newton really does steal the show. As Harry, he’s a creepy, slimy wolf in sheep’s clothing, all charm on the surface but with plenty of lecherous menace hiding just underneath. Production values are quite good here. Foster paces the picture well enough, it never feels slow, while the cinematography from Russell Metty is gorgeous enough to be reason on its own to want to sit down with this picture, it’s ridiculously atmospheric and perfectly shadowy, adding a

Burt Lancaster is sentenced to a flogging in Kiss the Blood Off My Hands. noirish touch to the visuals that is much appreciated. Taken from a “new 2k restoration” the picture quality of the black and white picture is impressive. Detail and clarity are quite strong throughout and there’s a good bit of appreciable depth here. Black levels are strong and we get nice contrast. A very strong effort. The only audio option on for the feature version of the movie is a 16-bit DTS-HD 2.0 Mono track in the film’s native English language and it sounds good, properly balanced and affording the score a good bit of depth. Dialogue is clear throughout, there are no problems with any hiss or distortion to
gripe about. This all sounds just fine. Extras start off with a new audio commentary by film historian Jeremy Arnold, who covers how the romantic relationship is the core of the film, how Joan Fontaine steals the show from Lancaster, how it was received in 1948, the beauty of the visuals in the film, how unusual it is for Lancaster’s character not to speak until sevenminutes into the film, the use of high contrast lighting and pools of blackness to build atmosphere and the use of crane shots in the film, the portrayal of fear in terms of how both characters are affected by it, details about the various British character actors that make-up most of the supporting cast, lots of details about Lancaster, Newton and Fontaine, Norman Fosters career and his work on the Peter Lorre/Mr. Moto films and the Charlie Chan films and lots more. The disc also includes a trailer for the feature and bonus trailers for the Lancaster features Desert Fury, Run Silent Run Deep, The Devil’s Disciple, The Train and Valdez Is Coming. Kiss The Blood Off My Hands may not live up to the promise of its sensational title but it does prove to be a strong thriller with a decent, if very melodramatic, romantic flair to it. Lancaster, Fontaine and Newton are all very good here and the movie is never lacking in style or atmosphere. Kino’s Blu-ray release looks great and sounds just fine, and it throws in an interesting audio commentary.
Sun/Jupiter pain relief Pain is part of living. As much as we like to think we can rid our lives of pain, we can’t, and even if we could, it wouldn’t work to our advantage. The sun/Jupiter opposition this week suggests we ascribe a meaning to our pain that will make it easier to embrace. ARIES (March 21-April 19). What is a museum without art? White walls and spotlights. You are similarly endowed this week in your capacity to become a blank slate on which the excitement of life can hang itself. This is a talent and a calling. Your ability to support and shine on will make your life really interesting and beautiful. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It’s not that the subtle messages are lost on you; it’s that you’re choosing to ignore them. The way you focus yourself is the result of experience and education. You’ve learned what to pay attention to and this is a superpower. While others complicate matters unnecessarily, you’ll have a clear, objective vision. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your mannerisms are your signature, though you came by them only partly through your own invention. Bloodlines and behavioral influences matter so much. Someone will imitate you this week, and you will feel how this really is the purest form of flattery. Also, it will make you want to be worthy of imitating. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Attraction is the best information you can get about yourself now, and it will provide the bridge between your brain and heart, your body and soul. Notice what your eye is attracted to and investigate. Then apply the same technique to each of your senses. Your world gets immediately more exciting. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). If what you’re telling yourself just brings you down or stops you in your tracks, even if you think it’s accurate, then lose it. It’s not whether a story is true that matters the most. The stories worth internalizing are the ones that inspire you to work harder on the things that lead to health, wealth and wisdom. As for the rest, delete. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). To keep your energy bobbing along, let go of the heaviness. Regret, unreasonable expectations, even ambition can be tones that weigh on you unnecessarily. How can you rid yourself of oppressive
energy? Cut your attachment to it. Then all you have to do is open your hands and spirit and let it drop. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Some say that greatness follows rational thought and compassionate feelings. Others claim it comes from passion and intuition. You’ll combine these qualities in interesting ways this week. By next Sunday, you’ll have enough stellar results to draw your own conclusion on that matter. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There’s an art to matching problems with their solutions. First, there’s landing on the right sort of solution, then there’s the matter of using the right amount of pressure and frequency. This week, less is more. Don’t react to everything. Overvigilance wastes energy. Pick your battles and you’ll be victorious. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Two truths: The better a person’s imagination is, the more likely a person is to be thrilled by relationships. The better a person’s imagination is, the more likely a person is to be disappointed by relationships. Your beautiful mind will take you into extraordinary realms you won’t always feel in control of. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Most punishment in this lifetime doesn’t come from a judge, nor is it delivered physically. Most is subtle and emotional, given by the world at large or more likely our nearest and dearest when we are not conforming to their desires. Enforce boundaries and you’ll avoid dealing in punishment. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You try to learn from every experience, noting what worked to get a desired result and what didn’t. But the real felicity comes in noticing what life brought to your party — the bounty you were not chasing and maybe didn’t even know existed that was nonetheless dropped right at your feet. This is the best part of all. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You take seriously the responsibilities of ownership, which is why the universe will entrust you with so much. And though you don’t want to seem ungrateful, you can afford to be picky this week. Don’t accept everything that comes your way. Opportunities offered sometimes come with inopportune consequences.

New platform, power pace Lexus ES 300h
GILBERT’S GARAGE JOHN GILBERT In Matador Red at dusk, Lexus ES 300h adds a subtle touch.. Photos by John Gilbert In all the years critics have been referring to cars built by Toyota as “appliances,” the Lexus luxury line models probably closely resembled “stylish appliances,” but those days have passed, and when you start to examine the technical upswing of the 2020 models, it’s obvious the butterflies have flown free of their long-suffering cocoons. Toyota is such a huge company, with factories all around the world, that it was easy to see the company reach the point of satisfaction. Everything Toyota built was basically bullet-proof as far as breakdowns were concerned, with strong, durable engines that would

easily top 200,000 miles while housed in solid, safe vehicles. Years slipped by, and competitors kept improving, but finally, under the hand of a Toyota family scion who liked high-performance cars, some ho-hum models were rejected and sent back to the drawing boards to be brought up to the cutting edge of technology. Take the 2020 Lexus ES 300, for example, but not just any ES 300. The test vehicle was, officially, an ES 300h Ultra Luxury, which shows that the Japanese decision makers still need to bring their naming concepts up to a new edge. This car is a long, low, slinky
luxury liner, so “Ultra Luxury” is not inappropriate. The “h” means this car is a hybrid. In overview, the bold, sporty-car grille leads off to 6-headlight LED beams and then that long, sensuous body. It was placed on a new platform of its own one year ago, for the 2019 model year, which gives it a head start on other Toyota and Lexus models making their way upward. And while Toyota rules the world of hybrids with its ever-expanding Prius models, Toyota’s “Hybrid Synergy Drive” is replaced by “Lexus Hybrid Drive” for the upscale fleet that is also ever-expanding.
With a new platform and an appealing body, the ES 300 gets two new powertrain partners, with a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder gasoline engine, coupled to a Lithium Ion battery pack that sits low and flat under the rear seat. That not only leaves room for a large trunk, but it provides a commendable blend of power and fuel economy. Together, they blend for 215 horsepower, but it’s one of those perception things — drive it, and use the paddle shifters on the beautifully designed steering wheel and you will declare that the power is easily adequate for hauling your family around,. April 23,2020 2020 July 16, 8585
The intricate design of the ES 300h grille creates almost a dizzying effect.
Luxurious and classy materials fill the interior of the Lexus ES 300h. With front-wheel drive, the ES 300 handles with quick precision, and while the Lithium Ion battery replaces the older Nickel Metal Hydride Toyota batteries, you also get a dashboard switch that allows you to click from Eco to Normal to Sport. Yes, Sport in a Lexus luxury sedan. The transmission is an electronically controlled CVT (continuously variable transmission), but the paddles allow you to shift it as though you’re using real gears on the other end of that cable. All working in concert, the car established EPA fuel economy estimates of 43 city and 44 highway. We didn’t get out on the open roads enough, but we kept track and the computer indicated we got 42 miles per gallon in overall driving for a week. New platform, new engine, new hybrid system, new transmission efficiency, and the rest of the attention can go to making sure the ES 300 lives up to its luxury heritage. Remember, this car began life as a Camry with bling, and has now taken wing on its own. The aniline-leather bucket seats are stunning when you first open the door, and the fine fabrics and trim of everything inside is just as impressive as you settle into that bucket seat. On the Ultra Luxury model — which boosts the base ES sticker from $45,660 to a still-reasonable $55,560 — the 17-inch alloy wheels are replaced by 18-inchers. The 2.0 Pre-collision warning system is in place, and there are countless other features that help you go, steer, and remain stable.
A dynamic handling suspension, radar cruise, lane-departure alert and lanetracing assist, plus steering assist if you are too sleepy to stay centered in your lane are nice additions. There are 10 airbags scattered about the cabin, and
an intuitive parking assist for parallelparking-challenged drivers. The intelligent high-beam system has road-sign assist to alert you to the number you just overlooked, on the dash and on the head-up display. The head-up display is enlarged to 10.2 inches, and the color display for multimedia is enlarged from 8.0 inches to 12.3 inches on the Ultra Luxury. The basic sound system is probably real good, with 10 speakers and all, but the test car had been upgraded to the Mark Levinson surround system with 1,800 watts of power blowing your tunes through 17 different speakers. Driving on the hillsides of Duluth, Minnesota, it was handy to use those paddles to direct the transmission to help contain your power going downhill, and we probably would have gotten better fuel economy if we weren’t enjoying the sporty

performance and uphill acceleration quite so much. Lexus doesn’t hesitate to wave some of its features in your face, either. The outside mirrors, for example, are “Electrochromatic Heated Outside Mirrors,” and the front-seat buckets are “14-way aniline leather driver’s seat, with the passenger seat 10-way power.” With the “Triple-Beam LED headlights” and stylish taillights announcing if you’re coming or going, the Lexus ES 300h has earned the added title of Ultra Luxury.
