inbox No more Cozy fires, please! Here we go again. Yet another Cozy fire. Yet another opportunity for city employees to put their lives on the line because of possible arson in an abandoned hulk of a building. Yet another opportunity for local residents, like me, to spend a couple of hours breathing toxic smoke because the abandoned hulk very probably has asbestos in it. Yet another opportunity for vehicle traffic downtown to be disrupted. I notice that the people who are so frantic to save the abandoned hulk don’t seem to consider living in it, themselves. But, soon, they will surely be using their deep, deep physician (dad) and attorney (son) pockets to provide Duluth’s taxpayers with yet another opportunity to go to court and pay yet another round of our money to beg, please to have this dangerous eyesore torn down. How deep are their pockets? How much did the city pay them to purchase the Norshor Theater? A million dollars? Two? Georgianna Henry Duluth, Minnesota Abortion neither political nor religious Abortion shouldn’t be linked to political power. NOBODY thinks of it as a good option, but according to early Christian writings it is not murder. The gospels tell us that the soul “comes into being by means of a breath.” To make a law that tells a woman what to do with her own body is against the Constitution and the gospels. We should have better adoption policies, instead of taking basic rights away
from women. Before we jail and murder women and doctors, we should be making every child feel wanted and have hope. Before we listen to what people that raped and pillaged four continents tell us, we shouldn’t take away someone’s basic rights. Jim Hall Duluth, Minnesota Old-time politics I have been a fan of Duluth Reader for many years, guess we have very similar politics. When I was 18 in 1971 I went to Lutsen, Minn., to meet Elmer Benson. We became lifelong friends until he died in the mid-1980s. As recall it was 1985. Elmer was always fun to talk with. His cabin on Lake Superior was built by Finnish lumber workers. He had supported their strike in 1937 and the cabin was a gift to their Governor. Through Elmer met many other people who had been involved in FLA (Farmer Labor Association), John T Bernard, the one-term Congressman from Iron Range, cast lone vote against the Spanish Embargo Act. FDR later said that Act was greatest mistake of his presidency. Later that day in 1971 with older friend from Iron Range driving, we went to visit Tony & Rudy Perpich building a house. I grew up in the world of politics so was normal for me. I came to know the Perpich brothers, too, but that’s another story. You ran a picture of Elmer & John a
year or more ago at Mesa Park in 1977 at a tribute to John Bernard for that lone vote. Veterans of Abraham Lincoln Brigade formally inducted John as an honorary member of the Brigade. That tribute gave us idea to organize a lunch tribute to Elmer at historic Prom Ballroom in St. Paul in 1978. On my suggestion we invited Pete Seeger, who came for the airfare. The occasion was kind of a reunion of many people involved in Henry Wallace campaign for President in 1948. I’ve been proposing we organize a conference on the founding of Farmer Labor Party. But that’s a debatable date. Thank goodness we didn’t hold it this year. Maybe could be an occasion to mark the Centennial of independent progressive politics in the midwest, tie in legacy of Robert LaFolette and North Dakota Non Partisan League. The other thought on my mind is the demise of the weekly Twin Cities City Pages. Eddie Felien, who publishes Minneapolis South Side Pride, told me the South West Journal is ceasing publication too at the end of the month. I served as Associate Publisher of weekly Pulse for its last year and a half, 200507. Eddie also published that paper. I’m a seasonal resident of Gordon, Wis., near environs of the Twin Ports.

Stanford study tracks Trump rallies A new Stanford University study estimates the Trump campaign rallies – including a September rally in Bemidji – held through mid-September have caused more than 30,000 people to get infected with COVID-19, and more than 700 deaths. The fatalities were not necessarily among rally goers. The researchers focused on 18 rallies, including the Sept. 18 rally in Bemidji that attracted an estimated 10,000
people, examining those counties’ caseloads before and after the rallies. They estimate the rallies increased subsequent cases of COVID-19 by more than 250 per 100,000 residents. CNN also included the Bemidji rally in its recent examination of 17 rallies and found that while the county infection rate was already increasing the month prior to the rally, one month afterward it had increased 385% and

was outpacing the state rate. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has said large events where people don’t wear masks or social distance – which describes a typical Trump rally – pose a substantial risk of spreading the virus. “There is reason to fear that such gatherings can serve as superspreader events, severely undermining efforts to control the pandemic,” the authors of the Stanford study wrote. “The communities in which Trump rallies took place paid a high price in terms of disease and death.”
By late September, cases were spiking in Bemidji, according to the Beltrami County Public Health Department, and the county had the third most cases in the state. In early October, the Minnesota Department of Health tested 1,285 people in the area and 33 tested positive – 24 of them Bemidji residents, according to the Bemidji Pioneer. The Beltrami County health director, however, said more cases were traced to an indoor wedding reception a day after the rally. But another Beltrami County official said some patients weren’t answering contact tracers’

questions. As of Monday, the state Health Department has linked 20 cases to the Bemidji rally and (four at a counter protest); four to Trump’s much smaller, colder Sept. 30 Duluth rally (where Trump was likely already infected and infectious); three to Vice President Mike Pence’s Sept. 24 airport policing panel; and one to Joe Biden’s Sept. 18 Duluth stop. All of the Trump events are considered outbreaks, which is defined as three or more positive cases among people from different households. Of those who contracted the virus that could be traced to the Bemidji rally, there were no deaths. The Washington Post recently reported the Trump campaign broke an agreement with Duluth city officials to abide by state health guidelines, which limit outdoor gatherings to 250 people. Bemidji Mayor Rita Albrecht said her city didn’t have such an agreement, because “our expectation was they would follow the governor’s orders.” “Oh my gosh it was terrible,” she said of the Bemidji rally.
DuluthReader.com
“The attendance was broad and deep and wide,” she said. “The Trump folks estimated it at 10,000; the population of Bemidji on a good day is 15,000.” So when Trump was planning his fourth campaign stop in Minnesota in Rochester – where cases were on the rise and testing lines were long – city officials reached an agreement with the campaign to cap the rally at 250. This time, the Trump campaign abided by the agreement. Outside the rally, Trump supporters who weren’t allowed in continued to crowd together without masks. Researchers examined rallies held between June 20 and Sept. 22, 2020, only three of which were held indoors. The researchers then compared spread of the virus in the counties that held the rallies to counties that were on similar case trajectories before the rallies occurred. The authors concluded that the rallies increased subsequent cases of COVID-19 by over 250 infections per 100,000 residents. They found that the events led to over 30,000 new cases in the country and likely resulted in over
700 deaths, but recognized that the deaths were “not necessarily among attendees.” “Our analysis strongly supports the warnings and recommendations of public health officials concerning the risk of COVID-19 transmission at large group gatherings, particularly when the degree of compliance with guidelines concerning the use of masks and social distancing is low,” the authors wrote in the paper. “The communities in which Trump rallies took place paid a high price in terms of disease and death. Trump campaign deputy national press secretary Courtney Parella said that, “Americans have the right to gather under the First Amendment to hear from the President of the United States.” “We take strong precautions for our campaign events, requiring every attendee to have their temperature checked, providing masks, they’re instructed to wear, and ensuring access to plenty of hand sanitizer,” Parella
said. “We also have signs at our events instructing attendees to wear their masks.” Biden campaign spokesperson Andrew Bates said Trump is “costing hundreds of lives and sparking thousands of cases with super spreader rallies that only serve his own ego.” The study comes as the U.S. set a new single-day record for coronavirus cases on Oct. 30, logging 97,080 new cases according to COVID Tracking Project, shattering the previous record of 88,521 on set Thursday. The study results come as public health experts have warned that the fall and winter seasons could lead to a disastrous third wave of coronavirus cases as the colder weather forces people to congregate indoors. The president, however, has repeatedly dismissed the new surge in cases, claiming the nation is “rounding the turn” on the pandemic.

Homeless in Duluth
We have the resources to solve the problem, but not the political will “A lot of us are one paycheck away, and there’s just a variety of folks that can experience homelessness. It’s not just a certain group of people, and it’s really important we stop characterizing people and just start helping them.” Shelly Bruecken, member of the Loaves and Fishes community (quoted in a WDIO TV news story)
• Commit to an annual investment in affordable housing Homelessness in St Louis County has increased 18% in the last year according to the January 2020 unsheltered survey. Most of this increase is due to a lack of basic, affordable housing. The CHUM website (Churches United in Ministry, Duluth’s largest homeless assistance organization) says 30 families, 59 children, and 1135 adult residents lack shelter. Most homeless people live precariously by couch surfing with friends or family. But homeless advocates say about 250 people in Duluth are on the streets, living in tents, cars, in the woods, under bridges, or in other places not meant for human habitation. There is some help available. This winter the City of Duluth will again provide an overnight warming shelter at the City Center West building. The shelter will be open from 8 pm to to 8 am on nights when the temperature drops below 32 degrees. The CHUM Drop-Off Center is open 24 hours during the winter. CHUM is the only 24-hour emergency shelter but has only an 80-bed capacity. Both of these shelters are inadequate for the need, and reportedly are already packed to capacity.
SOUTH SHORE RUMINATIONS
PHIL ANDERSON
Homelessness continues to be a problem all over the country. Duluth is no exception. Back in 2007, Duluth issued a 10-year plan to end homelessness. Duluth has a number of organizations working to accomplish this goal and has made progress. But homelessness persists and the coronavirus pandemic exacerbates the problems. Last week homeless advocates put up tents outside city hall to bring attention to the growing number of people sleeping on the streets. They wanted to pressure the city and county to do more to help the homeless before winter. With temperatures already below normal they’re pushing four specific actions: • An immediate end to evictions from homeless camps until warming centers open • Fund existing warming centers to be open 24 hours • Provide 24-hour access to hygiene facilities year round
10 November 5, 2020 DuluthReader.com
The pandemic is adding to the problems. Many homeless advocates are expecting homelessness to increase as more people lose their jobs, unemployment runs out, and evictions increase. CNBC reported that 30% of home owners and 36% of renters had missed mortgage or rent payments in July. In Duluth CHUM says even before the pandemic 55% of Duluth renters paid more than they could afford for rent. Today unknown hundreds of Duluth households are behind on rent and mortgage payments. Homelessness is caused by lack of affordable housing. The average rent in Duluth has skyrocketed. A one bedroom apartment that rented for $660 per month in 2010 was $937 in 2019. It is hard for people with average jobs to pay the rent much less those living in poverty. Given that housing costs are based on the free market and profit, the lack of affordable housing is not surprising nor is it an easy problem to solve. Temporary emergency shelter, however, should not be that difficult to provide. This is another issue where we know what is needed, we know what to do, and we have sufficient resources. We just don’t have the political will to make it happen. So the first three “demands” of the homeless advocates listed above are quite reasonable and achievable. As Shelly Bruecken says in the quote above, we just need to “stop characterizing people and just start helping them.“ Last year Governor Walz remarked, “Homelessness is a math problem in many cases, it’s not a character problem.” A little math can illustrate this statement. To begin with the number of homeless, although embarrassing for a wealthy nation, is not large. Nationwide the number of homeless is only 0.2% of the population. On any given day Minnesota has about 8,000 homeless people. Renting 8,000 apartments at the state average of $944 per month would cost the 2.1 million Minnesota “households” $43 per year per household (8000 X $944 = $7,552,000 X 12 months = $90 million divided by
2.1 million = $43). I am not suggesting this as a solution. I don’t mean to trivialize a complicated problem. Many homeless have serious drug, alcohol, mental illness and employment problems. I am just pointing out that, in the context of a $48 billion state budget, it wouldn’t take much to provide housing for the homeless. We have, or could find, the resources if we chose to do it. We also have the resources to immediately provide emergency shelter for the 250 people on the streets in Duluth. As a former member, I know the National Guard has tents, cots, sleeping bags, portable heaters, electric generators, mobile kitchens and mobile shower facilities. This equipment is in storage at Camp Ripley or in armories around the state. All it would take is the governor’s order and an emergency shelter with hygiene facilities could be in place within days. There is also a National Guard armory and an Air National Guard base in Duluth that could provide emergency facilities immediately. The fairgrounds may have usable buildings. Public school facilities could be open at night. Churches, private conference facilities or businesses closed due to the pandemic could be rented. The former mall in Superior is largely empty and there are probably empty buildings in Duluth. Again, the problem is not resources. It is the lack of community will to find solutions. At a minimum, as the advocates at the rally suggested, the city could stop rousting the homeless from their tent camps. In fact the city could easily establish a permanent campground, complete with toilets and showers that would help the unsheltered and minimize problems with unauthorized camping. The first priority is to get people off the streets before winter. Duluthians need to push their city councilors to take the necessary action before the winter gets worse. Then the tough work of building more housing and dealing with the other causes of homelessness can continue.
The flawed big pharma COVID-19 vaccine testing programs There doesn’t appear to be much difference between the testing protocols of the dozens of pharmaceutical companies that are working on developing a vaccine for the elusive (and therefore dubious) SARS virus that has not actually yet been isolated in the lab, much less been reproducibly-grown in living tissue cultures. DR. GARY The evidence for the KOHLS existence of the new SARSCoV-2 virus in any given patient has mostly been assumptive in the current alleged pandemic which has relied on testing with the equally dubious PCR test kits that have been manufactured by any number of fly-by-night outfits which are making unreliable test kits. The “case” incidence and death statistics of the current alleged pandemic must therefore be also regarded as dubious because the PCR test’s inventor has repeatedly asserted that his test CANNOT be used for diagnostic purposes. However, the aggressively Big Pharma/Big Media-promoted “conventional wisdom” says that if the PCR test turns out to be positive (even if the PCR-positive individual is totally asymptomatic, always wore the masks and never ever developed Covid symptoms) that subject must be assumed to be so infectious that he must be quarantined for weeks. If the subject does not comply with the quarantine order, he or she can – in certain jurisdictions – be arrested and imprisoned. What should be of concern to thinking people is the fact that some of these pharma companies (not to mention that many of the PCR test kit manufacturers) are indeed just “startups” – like the National Institutes of Health’s (and Anthony Fauci’s) favorite vaccine company Moderna, whose business only involves vaccine development – not manufacture. Yet Moderna is deeply involved in

the race for FDA approval, and its stock price has sky-rocketed on hopes that it might massage its test results enough to get its Covid-19 vaccine approved (or at least be given Emergency Use Authorization [EUA] by the FDA). Despite its sky-high stock price ($67 per share as of October 30, 2020), Moderna has yet to earn a single penny from the sale of any of its handful of experimental vaccines. It has, not surprisingly, developed its protocol for testing its two-dose experimental Covid-19 vaccine that is essentially the same as the announced protocols of Johnson & Johnson, AstraZeneca and Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccines in that half of the approximately 30,000 volunteers that they have amassed will be injected with two doses of its active vaccine (each of which contains uncertain-to-be-safe ingredients). The other half will be injected with a placebo. (Interestingly, in the past, some vaccine-testing companies have added a tissue-toxic ingredient that will cause injection-site symptoms presumably so that the placebo group won’t know if they got the vaccine or not.) There are reportedly any number of start-up and established pharmaceutical corporations worldwide that are also trying to be the next blockbuster vaccine-seller on the planet, but NONE of them, much less the four experimental vaccine companies listed below, have been following time-honored methods of testing its experimental drugs and vaccines on lab animals, a serious breach of protocol that has become the “new normal” in order to comply with President Trump’s Operation Warp Speed, agenda, which Trump has been pushing in order to produce a vaccine – any vaccine – before his reelection bid is decided! Of course, the fast-tracking (aka, “short-circuiting”) of normal vaccine safety and efficacy studies has been condemned by all ethical scientists that don’t have economic or professional “conflicts of interest” that guarantee profitable results from the dangerous pseudoscientific pro-vaccine stances
that Big Pharma shills like those in the Trump administration and the current HHS, NIH, CDC, NIAID and FDA has taken over the past 10 months. Conditional, tentative, Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) from the already corporate-compromised FDA is likely to be granted even if the data that is presented to the FDA regulatory commissions are flawed and/or statistically insignificant – which means that the vaccine has not been proven to be safe and effective, especially in the long-term, which, by definition, can’t be safely assessed for many years. Sadly, the members of most standard “regulatory” commissions are often corporate shills that have ulterior motives. There are 30,000 volunteers in each drug company’s study groups and they are essentially healthy, essentially middle-aged, eager and “patriotic” volunteers. Half of the 30,000 will be injected with a series of two immunologicallyactive vaccines. The other 15,000 members of the group will get two shots of a placebo that is supposed to be immunologically-inactive. None of the 30,000 will be informed as to which
group they are in. The approximately 30,000 total human guinea pigs that signed up for the Moderna study will be monitored until a paltry 53 of the 30,000 volunteers gets positive (and very dubious) PCR test results! The 53 may not have – and may never develop – SARS signs and symptoms for them to be included in the study! Of course, false-positive PCR tests are extremely common and can happen to anybody, especially people who have had a common cold, which is often caused by simple, benign coronaviruses. The designers of the Moderna study – just like the other drug companies that are in the race – will argue that their study should be considered relevant, reportable to the FDA as theoretical proof of effectiveness but they cannot claim that their vaccine is either safe or effective long-term. However, these short-term studies can only be partially relied upon for short-term safety and effectiveness if 13 or fewer of the 53 PCR-positive “cases” occurred in the vaccinated population
Continued on Page 12

while at the same time 40 or more of the positive PCR “cases” occurred in the placebo group. What won’t be discussed will be the fact that more than 14,900 of both the placebo group and the vaccine group also didn’t have positive PCR tests Covid-19 symptoms! It is totally appropriate for legitimate doubters of America’s Big Pharma-coopted drug and vaccine regulatory agencies to ask the question, “What kind of Big Pharma-influenced, profitoriented, junk science is behind the studies that are being hastily approved by the likes of the obviously co-opted HHS, NIH, CDC, NIAID and FDA? It is also totally appropriate for the public to have full information about what kind of coercive pro-vaccine influence is coming from such Trump appointees as his HHS director (and non-physician) Alex Azar, who came into Trump’s administration from a $2 million dollar per year CEO post at Big
Pharma/Big Vaccine giant Eli Lilly. Azar also is part of Trump’s Operation Warp Speed, which is the impetus behind the fast-tracking of vaccine development, which is certain to be a disaster. There will surely be dubious conclusions coming from all of the other provably untrustworthy pharmaceutical corporations that are in the race to develop an Emergency Use Authorizedvaccine that will not have been proven to be either safe or effective long-term – but will certainly be unaffordable. Suspiciously, the major investment partner of start-up Moderna is actually the US government regulatory and funding body called the National Institutes of Health (including the CDC and the NIAID) which reportedly has a 50% financial stake in the company. One can safely assume that – given the corrupt capitalist system that has thoroughly taken over our nation – that every Moderna shareholder (even our government bureaucracies) will do everything they can do to promote its products. One must suspect also that these government agencies and their buddies in the corporate world are doing everything they can to keep the sheeple from noticing the most important data points in the studies discussed. And one of those bits of information is that at least 29,800 of the 30,000 volunteers in Moderna’s vaccine trials, will likely not become infected whether the
got the placebo or the vaccine. What could easily happen long-term is that a significant number of the 15,000 in the vaccine group, are at risk of developing disabling chronic illnesses such as autoimmune disorders. What About the Vaccine Trials of Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, AstraZeneca, et. al.? The other significant statistical realities that won’t be pointed out in the corporate-controlled medical journals (or the corporate-controlled media) are the concepts of “Actual Vaccine Efficacy” and “Relative Vaccine Efficacy,” which are akin to the likewise purposely hidden-from view Actual Risk Reduction (AAR) and Relative Risk Reduction (RRR) that are often ignored in drug efficacy trials. For Moderna, 13 positive PCR tests in the 15,000 member vaccine arm of their trial 13/15,000 = 0.00086) is an arbitrarily chosen data point that, when compared to the placebo trial may represent some sort of significance. 0.00086 is an obviously miniscule number that is the same as a percentage figure of 0.086%. And 40 or more positive PCR tests in Moderna’s placebo group of 15,000 subjects (40/15,000 = 0.0027) likewise represents a similarly miniscule percentage figure of 0.27 %. Subtracting 0.086 % from 0.27 % will obtain the “actual” miniscule benefit of being vaccinated (0.086 %) with Moderna’s

potentially toxic vaccine vs. receiving the presumably innocuous placebo. However, the falsely-inflated “relative” vaccine effectiveness numbers means that in calculating the Moderna results takes the fraction 13/40 (which = 0.325 in decimal terms, and which is 32.5% in percentage terms. The corporation’s mathematicians, in the standard method of calculating relative risk reduction (RRR), subtracts the 0.325 from “1”, resulting in a decimal number of 0.675 (which, in percentage terms is 67.5%). So Moderna statisticians – who may, incidentally, own shares in the company – will then report to his bosses at corporate headquarters the “relative” effectiveness rate of 67.5 %, which the bosses will receive as positive, whereas it is a actually a deceptively inflated figure when it is put side-by-side with the actual vaccine effectiveness number of 0.184. Note that Pfizer’s experimental vaccine trial also uses the PCR positivity number of 32 in the 30,000 group, 25 in the 15,000 placebo group, and 7 in the 15,000 vaccine group as starting statistical analysis points. Using those numbers, Pfizer’s statisticians are actually reporting out the falsely-inflated Relative Risk Reduction/ Relative Vaccine Effectiveness numbers (rather than the Actual Risk Reduction (ARR) numbers to America’s easily propagandized press corps and medical professionals, who can be relied upon to report – over and over again – the inflated benefits to their listeners, viewers and patients. Predictably, Johnson & Johnson is also using the same mathematical trickery as the other Gang of Four, using as their arbitrary PCR-positivity break-points the following numbers: 77 PCR-positive tests among the 30,000 total group; 59 PCR-positive tests in the 15,000 person placebo group, and17 PCR-positive tests in the 15,000-person vaccine group. AstraZeneca is doing the same, just using slightly different numbers of PCR-positivity: 50 in the 30,000 group, 38 in the15,000 placebo group and 12 in the 15,000 vaccinated group. What we seem to have is well expressed in my version of Mark Twain’s famous quote: “There are three (or four) kinds of lies: Lies, Damned Lies, Statistics and Covid Statistics.”

Hopefully Mr. Loser and his minions didn’t throw a fit after realizing that the minority can’t govern the majority any longer. Hopefully the lawsuits will mount and El Presidente will retreat to his compound in Florida and plan his escape to a banana republic somewhere to avoid prosecution for his many crimes. Hopefully the authorities will be waiting for him after the planned fireworks display diversion fails. Just for good measure he will be escorted to a prison that doesn’t have a golf course or a salon to glue that flap of hair in place. His mug shot will be a slight antidote for the years of pain and unrest he fostered.

The New Conservative Neanderthal Party (NDNP), formerly the Republicans, have been playing with the electorate for decades, trying to remain in power even as the nation as a whole shifts away from their stick-in-themud, head-in-the-sand, fuddy-duddy ways. A majority of people believe in climate change and social justice, health care and public education. Still, the NDNP slips in gerrymandering and suppression of mostly minority communities and ramps up the lie about voter fraud and mail-in ballots.
If you have the chance read David Daley’s story in The New Republic titled “A Cancer on the Ballot.” This isn’t about free and fair elections, it’s about cheating. Toss them in prison with Mr. Liar and Cheat. Hopefully all the ballots were counted. Hopefully the stacked court won’t be called in to referee.

Hopefully the country will wake up to the fact that talk radio, TV and social media has grown toxic for the democracy, peddling lies and misinformation to those willing to be schmoozed into believing that facts are lies and lies are facts. I’ve been saying this for a long time: I can’t see how the First Amendment guarantees purposeful lies that endanger our society to be covered by the notion called freedom of speech. Is free speech a lie? Is a lie free speech? Hopefully American schools will make It Can’t Happen Here by Sinclair Lewis and 1984 by George Orwell required reading.

How simple would it be to hand out a voter registration card to every 18 year-old based on their Social Security number? Bingo, there you are with a voter ID card that’s good for life. All you have to do is show up at your local polling place and provide your social security number and you are set to vote. Maybe that’s too simple. I haven’t thought out all the issues, but every kid turning 18 is registered. Done. Pretty much ready to vote. Why do we make it so complicated?

When to expect election results By design, state won’t have full results for a week At 8 pm Tuesday, the polls across Minnesota closed. Then what? This year, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in some changes to the way election returns are reported. In all likelihood, Minnesotans will know the winners of most races Tuesday night or shortly thereafter, but ballots received up to seven days after Election Day will still be counted, as long as they are postmarked by Election Day. Those latearriving ballots could make a difference in close races. The seven-day grace period is the result of a consent decree signed over

the summer, settling a lawsuit. Earlier this year, the Minnesota Alliance for Retired Americans and other citizen groups sued to extend the deadline for mailed-in ballots to arrive and be accepted past the usual 8 pm on Election Day. They reasoned that a deluge of mail-in-ballots could slow the mail, resulting in some voters’ ballots arriving too late to be counted through no fault of their own. Last week, a decision from Eighth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals panel seemed to call the grace period into question, although it still technically stands. The three-judge panel decided two to one that ballots arriving after 8 p.m. on election night need to be segregated so the votes they contain for president could potentially be invalidated and subtracted from the tally if they are successfully challenged in the future.

Simon has said it’s his interpretation that the decision currently only applies to presidential votes, though he said the judicial panel suggested its scope could be made wider through further litigation. As soon as the decision came down, Simon began to encourage voters not to rely on the mail lest their ballots arrive after 8 p.m. on Tuesday and ultimately have votes invalidated. So what does this mean for counting ballots? Simon said it’s full steam ahead on the plan his office already had in place for reporting election results. After polls close Tuesday, local election offices will begin transmitting results to the Secretary of State’s office. The Secretary of State’s website will begin reporting them. “What is posted on election night will be comprised of everything we’ve received from all 87 counties, and what they have received will include everyone who’s voted that day in person and all or substantially all of the ballots they have received so far,” whether they were cast early in-person or early by mail and were already processed, Simon said in a recent press briefing. This year, local elections offices began opening and processing mail ballots two weeks before Election Day. That means they could separate the ballots from the envelopes they came in and start putting them into the counting machines, though they couldn’t allow the machines to actually count up the votes until polls close. As of Monday morning, 1.72 million ballots – or 58 percent of total turnout in 2016 – had already been accepted. So on Tuesday night, we can expect 1.72 million plus whatever ballots came in via mail and got processed plus early votes on Monday and Tuesday during the day, plus regular Election Day polling place votes. If it’s anything like the primary election in August, which had a two-day grace period for ballots postmarked on or before Election Day, many, if not most of the results of races will be known on election night. But because of the seven-day grace period, vote totals will be updated every day in the week following the
election as ballots come in. Normally, people who closely watch election results pay attention to the “precincts reporting” measure reported by the Secretary of State, which tells what percent of the precincts have reported their results to the state office, to determine when all the results from a given district are in. This year, a word of caution: it’ll tell you which precincts have reported early and Election Day votes to the state, but you should be mindful that more votes may come in during the seven-day grace period. The Secretary of State’s office will also report the number of ballots that are outstanding still, statewide on down to the House district level – meaning absentee ballots that went out but have not yet been accepted. In a recent press briefing, Simon described a scenario where a candidate is up by 500 votes over her opponent with 300 votes outstanding, meaning they haven’t arrived yet or were never mailed. “Even if all 300 go for her opponent, we know that mathematically she’s won. We won’t know for a week [by how much],” he said. While the ballots that arrive after 8 pm will be segregated in compliance with the Eighth Circuit panel decision so their votes ultimately could be separated out, there will be just one reported tally of all the votes, Simon said. The data won’t separate votes cast early versus on Election Day, or those that arrive on or before Election Day versus after. This year, Simon and other election officials have repeatedly urged Minnesotans to be patient with results: Minnesotans won’t have 100 percent of the election results in until a week after the election, and that’s by design. The aim, he said, is to provide good data and maximum transparency. “This is the plan. [The weeklong count] is not the result of someone’s laziness or screw up or falling down on the job, or failing to plan ahead,” he told reporters. “When citizens see on election night we don’t have 100 percent of the results in it is literally by design.”

Why Dem Dean Phillips is considered a safe bet to win formerly solid Republican 3rd District The Third District went to Democrats in 2018. It looks set to stay that way.
the police organizations, uncharacteristic of the other congressional races around the state, is indicative of the contest in the Third: As Qualls leans heavily on familiar national Republican themes, such as support for “law-and-order,” demonizing socialism and supporting President Donald Trump, Phillips’ campaign – and his record after one term in Congress – emphasize bipartisan cooperation and finding compromises. In this well-off, suburban district that was until very recently represented by a moderate Republican, Phillips’ message seems to resonate.
In Minnesota’s Third District, the Minnesota Fraternal Order of Police endorsed Kendall Qualls. Standing outside of the Peace Officers Memorial at the Minnesota State Capitol, Qualls, Rep. Dean Phillips’ Republican opponent, said the difference between him and his opponent is night and day. “Make no mistake,” he said. “There is a clear difference between me and Dean Phillips on support for law enforcement.” But there’s a problem with that argument: While Qualls is endorsed by the Fraternal Order of Police, Phillips is endorsed by the Minnesota Police and Peace Officers Association, the largest police union in Minnesota.

es in the suburbs, and political realignment, Paulsen, a long-time politician and former state legislator, was defeated by Phillips. Phillips didn’t come from politics. He’s a graduate of Brown University with a Masters in Business Administration from the University of Minnesota. When he was young, his father was killed in Vietnam. His mother remarried to the Minneapolis family who introduced schnaps to the U.S: The Phillips. As the heir to the Phillips’ distilling fortune, Phillips invested in a then little-known gelato company, Talenti, which was eventually sold to multi-national corporation Unilever. He’s also found success with a string of coffee shops, Penny’s Coffee, around Minneapolis. Phillips, who lives in Deephaven, has two daughters, and remarried during his time in Congress.
Phillips, who votes with Democrats a majority of the time, often finds ways to emphasize his bipartisanship in Congress. He works with Rep. Pete Stauber, the Republican from upstate, in the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus. And he’s worked to find middle-ground solutions between the parties, most recently taking an active role in writing a compromise COVID-19 stimulus bill with some of his Republican colleagues. (The bill was not voted on.) “My representation is modeled on some of my Republican predecessors such as Bill Frenzel and Jim Ramstad as much as Hubert Humphrey and Paul Wellstone,” he said. To Phillips, most issues are not just Republican or Democratic, even if they are often used that way. He pointed to masks as an example: “This notion of every issue being binary and that if one party stands for something, then the other feels it must be opposed to it [doesn’t make sense],” he said. “Masks. It’s a perfect example of the risks to human life and to economic life in America by these political divisions. Masks should have been something on which ev-

ery American agreed. And in which each American participated from day one, because if we had done so, we would have been able to better maintain our economy without as much disruption.” Outside of his support from the statewide police union, Phillips has the endorsement of the National Chamber of Commerce. He also has the endorsement of many of Minnesota’s major unions, as well as environmental groups like Boundary Waters Action Fund. He sees his representation in Congress as well suited to his district. As part of a wave of Democratic representative who flipped suburban districts in 2018 and helped Democrats take back the House, Phillips said that much of the legislation passed by that chamber in the last two years is built for districts like his. “The agenda that we developed was very much designed for suburban America. And, you know, we were the majority makers, people like Angie Craig and me and so many of the freshmen Democrats that came to Washington. We worked very hard to ensure that the general agenda for the 116th Congress would be one design for as many Americans as possible and particularly for suburban America.” A Republican challenger Like Phillips, Qualls doesn’t come from politics either. When Qualls was five, his father returned from Vietnam and divorced his mother. From then on, he was one of five children raised by his mom in Harlem. Eventually he moved to Oklahoma to live with his father, a U.S. Army drill sergeant, who lived in a small trailer. After college, he joined the army at 19, eventually going on to be responsible for tactical nuclear weapons and serving a tour in South Korea. “If the roles were reversed, if I was a Democrat and my opponent was a rich country club Republican, if he was on the R side and he was on the D side, this story would have national attention,” Qualls said. His life in Minnesota (he lives in Medina) has focused on family and work. Qualls is married with five children and a Labrador retriever named Largo. He initially worked

‘This narrative of we are a systemically racist country and then that’s it. And I totally reject that concept. And then if you believe in it, it’s coming from academia.’ - Kendall Qualls in sales and marketing for major companies, then in the pharmaceutical and medical technology field. He is currently vice president for PotentiaMetrics, a startup company that uses artificial intelligence to help patients with cancer. Many of Qualls’ complaints about Phillips mirror national Republican talking points about Democratic party lawmakers. Qualls’ endorsements are primarily from major Republican and conservative groups and politicians: former Ambassador Nikki Haley, U.S. Senator Tim Scott, House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy, and Freedom Club. As for why voters should choose him over Phillips, Qualls says the choice in the race is between the Republican Party or socialism. “Right now, are we going to open up our country and really allow us to take advantage of a fully free market capitalist country? Or do we believe that socialism is a better way to go?” He adds that there are two other “macro reasons” said he’s a better fit for the district: one, he thinks that he’s a better example for young people who don’t think the country is “a force for good” abroad; and two, he doesn’t believe in systemic racism. “This narrative of we are a systemically racist country and then that’s it. And I totally reject that concept. And then if you believe in it, it’s coming from academia and the 1619 Project [referring to a series of articles in the New York Times] being kind of like the underlying foundation behind it. That’s absolutely incorrect. And he adopts that,” he said of Phillips. Phillips, who believes that law en-
forcement in his district is a model for the rest of the country, said he believes many people in his district, Democrats and Republicans, have done some “soul searching” over the last few months. “I’m surprised that his argument is, ‘We do not have elements of systemic racism in the United States’ because the people who I listen to and visit with regularly in our district and beyond have very different stories to tell than my opponent, and it’s my responsibility to listen to everybody,” Phillips said. Outside of discussing systemic racism, when it comes to the Congressional race between him and Qualls, Phillips contends that there hasn’t been much substance. “I’m saddened that this campaign has not been one run on issues or debate of policy,” he said. “My opponent seems to be more interested in running against Ilhan Omar and AOC [New York U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez] and others.” Qualls said, when it comes to local policy, he would be a better fit for both public safety (he says Phillips did not do enough to disavow rioting in Minneapolis) and health care (he says his experience in the field is important). Qualls also charged Phillips as a supporter of Medicare-for-all (Phillips has not supported any Medicare-for-all plan). “He got a failing grade from the
National Federation of Independent Businesses. These people they’ve been the voice of small business for 75 years. They gave him a 33 percent rating out of a hundred. Guess who else got a 33 percent?” Qualls asked rhetorically. “Ilhan Omar.” Safely Democratic Three of the largest non-partisan evaluators of Congressional races, The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, and Sabato’s Crystal Ball, don’t see the district as likely to flip: rating it an either Solidly or Safely Democratic seat. And unlike in 2018, when Phillips defeated Paulsen, there has been little focus on the district and no outside polling. For Phillips, it’s not about a particular message other than bringing people together. “I think there’s an opportunity for candidates in both parties to better recognize that real representation isn’t just 51 percent of a district,” Phillips said. “It’s everybody.” If he loses, Qualls believes it’s just because he hasn’t talked to enough people. Hasn’t gotten his message in front of enough swing voters. And, he said if that were to happen, he is being encouraged to run again. “If I wind up losing,” he said, “it’s because I did not get out to enough people for them to hear the message.”

Here comes the Assmask N-95 Underwear Is there personal liberty? When does it begin and end? It was bound to happen to an inquiring mind. Scientists around the world are monitoring sewage for outbreaks of COVID-19 because victims of the virus have had the very infectious virus in their feces. At least 65 universities in this country are taking samples of sewage daily from dormitories and campus sites to see if the virus is present. When tests prove the existence, the residents of that sewage system are tested to see who is infected. It has proven to be a successful tool in discovery. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention reports there has been no evidence-so far-of the virus spreading from feces to persons. They have also received calls questioning whether the virus could also be transmitted by flatulence. Scientists have been tracking the possibility since April but have not confirmed transmission by feces or farts. Scientists are examining the issue. If there is evidence of transmission from the other end as there is from the nose and mouth, what will the people who object to wearing masks do? Should the government force them to wear N-95 underwear that prevents 95% of the droplets to pass through

When I was teaching English literature to Fargo Central High seniors, I always used John Stuart Mill’s essay “On Liberty” to provoke discussions of what constituted “freedom.” His 18th century philosophy still rules: “Freedom means doing as we like, subject to such consequences as may follow, without impediment from our fellow creatures, as long as what we do does not harm them even though they should think our conduct foolish, perverse or wrong….The only freedom which deserves the name, is that of pursuing our own good in our own way, so long as we do not attempt to deprive others of theirs, or impede their efforts to obtain it.” The nose and mouth have a great deal to do with freedom Sometimes Mill’s highfalutin’ 18th century language requires some ordinary 21st century examples. Let’s say a person who has not had a shower and has not wiped himself properly for weeks enters a public library or a private restaurant and immediately gets the attention of the readers and eaters because their olfactory nerves have been jerked to attention. Their noses have rejected his freedom to enter the premises. He is depriving them of the freedom of reading and eating because the smell is an absolute perversion. If he had showered and cleaned himself that morning, he most likely would not have alerted all the noses in the social spacing. We recently had two maskless Fargo city commissioners vote against a mask ordinance while city, state and national public health experts were battling a virus filling up testing sites, clinics, hospitals, food banks and cemeteries. The two should put on their N-95 masks, go to the Fargo Public Library, check out copies of “On Liberty,” and read the essay instead of watching Fox News. This country has seen people shot over the wearing of masks, fistfights in
malls over the wearing of masks, clerks sworn at, punched, kicked and spat upon over the wearing of masks. On one side we have people with masks who don’t want to spread the disease. On the maskless side we have people who don’t give a damn about others and want the “freedom”to live their normal lives. In the middle of a dangerous pandemic there’s nothing worse than stupid – but at least the virus also eats up the stupid – helping to improve the gene pool. The Singapore government and constituents are not stupid Why does Singapore have the lowest death rate in the world from COVID-19 and North Dakota the highest? First, Singapore is not known for its individual freedoms. Spitting on the sidewalk can bring you a public caning. I don’t think they have changed. Seatbelts and biker helmets are always worn. The Singapore government has decided staying alive is more important than most stuff. It has the highest virus testing rate in the world. More than 95% of its cases are among migrant workers who live in dormitories and are employed in labor-intensive jobs like construction. Workers are constantly tested. It has aggressive contact tracing; the World Health Organization (WHO) says the best in the world. Vulnerable patients with other diseases are cared for in hospitals even if they feel well. Singapore was already a medical tourist country. At the time of this writing it had no COVID-19 patients in intensive care, 42 patients were in hospitals, and 490 light cases were in temporary facilities. Oh! I almost forgot. Singapore has a mandatory mask law that applies to 95% of the population. Five percent are excused because they have specific preexisting conditions. The fine for not wearing a mask is $300. That’s how to run a country during a pandemic. The definition of freedom in any country does not include the freedom to get somebody else sick. It does not include the freedom to refuse to wear a mask in the grocery, store, church or bar. You can’t sneeze on a clerk or cashier just because you don’t wear a mask. The sneezer is approving a death sentence.
No society can function with that kind of freedom. Mill also wrote: “The only freedom which deserves the name, is that of pursuing our own good in our own way, so long as we do not attempt to deprive others of theirs, or impede their efforts to obtain it.” A plainer answer has been around for a long time: “Your freedom to do as you please with your fist ends where my jaw begins.” To Democrats: How to finally make America great If you take over the government of the Divided States of America on January 20, 2021, the following should be just part of your program for the first 100 days. Have the names of four liberals ready to add to a Supreme Court of 13 in a filibuster-proof Senate. President Joe, forget this bipartisan crap of a 180-day court “task force.” Those bipartisan days are gone forever. Wake up to Trumplican reality. The Trumplicans just finished generations of court–packing in a power pandemic. They need to get stuffed in return. Get rid of Citizens United. Force the billionaires who own the white Republican Party to go through political bankruptcy. Pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act to eliminate voter suppression, gerrymandering, systemic racism, and the Electoral College. Reinforce the Civil Rights Act,

worker’s rights, conceal-carry gun control laws, LBGTQ+ rights, police responsibility, and racial justice. We desperately need immigration reform. Welcome DACA members as citizens. Rejoin the community of nations and restore human rights as a goal. Then get busy on personal freedom issues. This is the only way to put the White Party away for good. King Donald, whose only religion is himself, hasn’t a clue about what constitutes religious freedom. But he is now urging evangelical Christians and Roman Catholics to vote for him so they can turn our democracy into a theocracy. These two groups are in an absolute minority on the following subjects and want to ban them: contraception, divorce, abortion, homosexual sex and same-sex marriage. Their only idea about religious freedom is to have a society in which they can legally discriminate against other religions and races. They don’t realize yet there is just one race – the human race. With the addition of Justice Amy Coney Barrett to the court, Trump is trying to get more Catholic votes. We already know what the Vatican stands for. With six Catholics on the court, we need to know if they are conservative, orthodox, cafeteria, once -a-month, once-a-year, or Catholics like Newt Gingrich and his current wife, our “ambassador” to the Vatican. Remember, the Vatican insisted for 2,000 years that unbaptized babies who died could not enter Heaven, that they should spend eternity like circling dust motes in Limbo-Purgatory-or whatever. Finally, in 2007, Pope Benedict approved a 41-page document that his Vatican cardinals and bishops had been working on for years. It “emphatically” stated: “The conclusion of this study is that there are theological and liturgical reasons to hope that infants who die without baptism may be saved and brought to eternal happiness even if there is not an explicit teaching on this question found in revelation. There are reasons (not stated) to hope that God will save these infants precisely because it was not possible (to baptize them).” Well, that settles that, right? How many dead unbaptized Catholic babies does this document cover? I wonder how long it will take Pope Francis and the Vatican to approve homosexual sex and same-sexmarriage, contraceptives, abortion, climate change, universal health care and religious freedom – and the
different colors of the human race. Well, somebody said God does things in mysterious ways. Actually, The Satanic Temple and the Church of The Flying Spaghetti Monster make more sense. Under which economic system does a worker have more freedom? Does a worker have more freedom under free market health care or singlepayer universal care? The Trumplicans, yelling “SOCIALISM!” at the top of their lungs, are trying to eliminate ObamaCare, Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security by court-stacking and replace them with – what? They don’t say much about medical care provided by the Veterans Administration. A worker in the capitalist system has to fight for every necessity while an owner or investor fights for every profit while paying the worker as little as possible. Only when there is a shortage of labor is a worker’s wages increased because of competition for his labor. Karl Marx, that old commie who is hiding under every capitalist’s bed with a manifesto, has made several good points: “The realm of freedom begins when the realm of necessity is left behind.” Translation: freedom means nothing
if you don’t have enough to eat, if you are denied access to adequate health care, housing, transportation, education, communication devices, and a safe, livable environment. Is a worker better off in Scandinavia or Alabama? In Germany or Mississippi? In South Korea or South Dakota? Where is the best chance that individual capacities, particularly freedom, are liberated entirely from wants and needs? The role of a free society is to provide workers with the basic necessities so they are free to do exactly want the want. That goal can only be reached by a country that merges capitalism and socialism. Some call it democratic socialism. Sometimes it takes a pandemic to realize this. Actually the 14th century black plague in Europe killed so many it allowed workers to create guilds and unions because labor was so scarce. When workers are plentiful and hungry, the capitalist is free to say to the worker: “I want to employ you at the lowest wage possible for the largest number of hours possible doing exactly the work I specify. That is what I demand of you when I hire you.” Sound familiar? That’s right out of Karl Marx.

Crime Report, Halloween Edition Nathan Garisto, 26, of Largo, Florida, was arrested on Oct. 19 on a domestic battery charge. The Smoking Gun reported that Garisto was “heavily intoxicated while engaged in a verbal argument with his girlfriend,” according to police. He refused to leave after his girlfriend asked him to, instead throwing “a pumpkin and all insides of the pumpkin at the subject.” Garisto maintains he threw the pumpkin at the door, not at the girlfriend. He was released on bond and ordered to have no contact with the victim. [The Smoking Gun, 10/20/2020] Sweet Love Sugar Good, 49, who manages a Dunkin’ donuts store in Edmond, Oklahoma, knew a good man when she saw one ... every morning at 7:15 as he collected his sausage, egg and cheese croissant at her drive-thru. After a year of friendly commercial exchanges, The New York Times reported, Good finally got up the nerve to hand John Thompson, 45, her business card along with his food and coffee. Two years later, on Oct. 13, Good and Thompson tied the knot at the place that brought them together: the Dunkin’ drive-thru. “We knew we wanted to share it with the Dunkin’ family,” Good said. She stood at her spot in the window and Thompson drove up in his red truck, where former pastor Colby Taylor was waiting for them. Taylor kept the ceremony short, as other customers were lined up behind Thompson, but at the end, Good came outside and Thompson got out of his truck for their first kiss as regulars, friends and family cheered them on. “Our story wasn’t glamour,” Good said, “but it was true romance.” [New York Times, 10/23/2020]

Bright Idea In Littleton, New Hampshire, a Hillsborough County grand jury filed indictments against Lisa Landon, 33, in early October, the Union Leader reported. Landon was scheduled in court for three different cases in November and December 2019, involving drug possession and stalking. To avoid going to jail, Landon impersonated a prosecutor, using the court’s electronic system to file fake documents dropping the charges against her. A state forensic officer noticed last November that the charges were dropped and wondered if a scheduled competency evaluation on Landon should proceed, which tipped off court officials. While she was at it, Landon allegedly filed an order on behalf of a relative to halt guardianship proceedings involving Landon’s child. She’s been charged with one count of false impersonation and six counts of falsifying physical evidence. [Union Leader, 10/26/2020] Cue the Lawyers Nightmares really do come true: On Oct. 24, as Leonard Shoulders, 33, waited at a bus stop in the Bronx, New York, the sidewalk beneath him gave way and he dropped into a decrepit basement full of rats, Fox News reported. Bystanders alerted authorities, and Shoulders was rescued from the dark hole about 30 minutes later, with injuries including a broken arm, broken leg and scraped face. New York’s Department of Buildings said the basement beneath the sidewalk was poorly maintained, and the building was closed until repairs can be made. [Fox News, 10/27/2020] The Meth Made Me Do It Traffic slowed to a crawl and people got out of their cars on a busy road-
way in Chongqing, China, on Oct. 17, hoping to collect banknotes that were raining down from the sky. As it turned out, the money wasn’t coming from heaven, but from an unnamed 29-year-old man who was tripping on methamphetamine in his 30-story-high apartment overlooking the street. As he showered passersby with money, police arrived and took him into custody, and he was receiving treatment, according to The Guardian. [Guardian, 10/29/2020] Florida A woman who would not leave a St. Petersburg, Florida, Mobil gas station was arrested for trespassing on Oct. 14, The Smoking Gun reported. But that’s not the weird part. Melinda Lynn Guerrero, 33, was also charged with providing a false name to law enforcement after she repeatedly said her name was “My butt just farted.” Officers were familiar with Guerrero from a series of arrests over several years, and her last name is tattooed on her back, so ... They noted she may have been under the influence of alcohol or drugs. [The Smoking Gun, 10/16/2020] The Continuing Crisis Sure, COVID-19 has been tough on human beings. But don’t discount the effect the virus has had on our aquatic friends. Take Mikko, a 3-footlong grouper who lives at the Sea Life Helsinki Sea Lab ocean laboratory, where he had to be isolated because he kept eating his tankmates. When the aquarium closed because of the pandemic, Mikko appeared depressed, becoming “more still and distant than usual,” his caretakers told Live Science. “To cheer him up ... the caretakers and other staff had lunch and coffee breaks by his tank.” They also had a TV to keep him company, but on Oct. 12, Mikko got the ultimate pick-me-up: a 16th birthday party featuring a salmon “cake.” Aquarium representatives said he enjoyed the party. [Live Science, 10/22/2020] Election Snafu Nikolai Loktev, 58, the incumbent mayor of Povalikhino in Russia, asked the woman who cleans the city hall to add her name to the ballot as a formality, in order to comply with a regulation that elections must have two or more candidates. In a twist of fate, however, Marina Udgodskaya received 62% of the vote, compared to Loktev’s 34%, on Sept. 28. “I didn’t think people would actually vote for me,” Udgodskaya said, according to the BBC. But one village
shopkeeper explained: “If we could have voted against all we would have done, but we had the option to vote for Marina, so we did. I think she’ll cope. The whole village will help.” Loktev is sporting a stiff upper lip: “I’m not upset. People voted for her, so let her do her job.” [BBC, 9/29/2020] Family Values On Oct. 8, as an Advent Health worker checked visitors’ temperatures at Disney World in Orlando, Florida, she noticed a woman removing something from the stroller she was pushing and place it in the bushes outside the entrance to the park. The woman then proceeded through the checkpoint and into the park. The witness alerted authorities, who found a purse and, inside, a handgun. The woman, Marcia Temple of Georgia, returned to the spot and told the officer the purse was hers, but threw her 6-year-old son under the bus: “I had told my son to hold it for me and stand right here while I go get my brother. He put it down, and messed with the plants and I put them back, but I didn’t know he put it down and I didn’t know he left it over here.” Unfortunately for Temple, security cameras captured her planting the purse in the bushes, ClickOrlando. com reported. Orange County deputies said the firearm was fully loaded, and Temple did not have a concealed weapons permit for either Florida or Georgia. She was charged with carrying a concealed firearm. [ClickOrlando. com, 10/30/2020] Least Neighborly Neighbor Ryan Ferry and his wife moved into their Clearwater, Florida, home with great expectations about living in a neighborhood they loved. But their next-door neighbor, Ken Nielsen, had other plans. “He’s threatened to shoot me in the face numerous times,” Ferry told WFLA. “My wife can’t go out back and sunbathe because he will pull up a chair and take pictures of her.” The final straw came on Oct. 24, when Ferry hung lights on his side of their shared fence for a birthday party that evening. Nielsen called police, who asked Ferry to remove the lights. But he called 911 again, telling the operator, “I’ve got a ton of ... weapons. I got ... hand grenades. I’ll blow them out of the ... ground.” Ferry can take comfort in the fact that it’s not personal: Nielsen assaulted another neighbor in 2016 for power washing while he was trying to watch the Olympics.

Napa Valley fire update On Oct. 20, CalFire announced the Napa Valley’s devastating Glass fire was 100% contained. The Glass fire, which raged for 23 days, was perhaps the most destructive in the history of America’s most prominent wine region. The wreckage included 67,000 acres burned and more than 1,500 structures destroyed or damaged, including such iconic wineries as Newton and Cain Cellars and the Michelin three-star restaurant at the famed Meadowood Resort. Fire officials are still investigating the cause of the fire, which ignited east of St. Helena in what is known as the Upper Valley. The fire eventually jumped to the other side of the valley, threatening wineries and homes on Diamond and Spring mountains to the west, with flames reaching well into parts of Sonoma County. Besides the personal and property destruction, a good portion of the harvest, particularly cabernet sauvignon, remained unpicked at the time the fire broke out. The worry now is that so-called smoke taint will render the grapes from many vineyards useless for wine production. Having been through similar fire events in the recent past, smart winemakers will simply dump the forbidden (tainted) fruit if lab tests come back showing high levels of smoke. With most of the harvest complete at this writing, there is still apprehension in both Napa and Sonoma counties. Conditions remain dry, and gusting Santa Ana winds forced a “red flag” warning on Oct. 25.

Can the words “healthy” and “holiday” even go together? Should they go together? Do you put them together? It can seem like you do such a good job eating well all year long, and then, when the holidays roll around, all those good intentions go out the

Healthier holidays window. We’ve all been there and know the feeling. Then comes January and those New Year’s resolutions to drop those holiday pounds. It’s a cycle that can lead to frustration and discouragement. Here’s how to break the cycle: Add plenty of fresh, seasonal produce to your holiday dinner. Winter squash, apples, root vegetables, cranberries and pomegranates are packed with nutrients, fiber and phytonutrients – and best yet, they’re low in calories. Unfortunately, many traditional Thanksgiving sides – sweet potatoes with marshmallows and that creamy green bean casserole – are packed with added sugars and saturated fat. Rather than adding sugar, try adding fruit to sweeten a salad or vegetable dish (think pomegranates with Brussels sprouts or cranberries in a salad). Apples can be added to sweet potatoes and dried apricots or prunes to roasted root vegetables.
A dash of cinnamon or nutmeg also adds flavor and depth to dishes. The way vegetables are prepared makes a big difference in calories as well. Roasting brings out the flavor in vegetables, so they don’t need added brown sugar, butter or marshmallows. The roasting causes caramelization, which intensifies the natural sweetness. Two other options are to lighten up traditional recipes or to simply go with the traditional recipe but take smaller portions. Swapping out butter for canola oil works to lower saturated fats in vegetable dishes or stuffing. And you can cut salt in a recipe by using herbs or citrus juices. Even a small change, such as using fewer marshmallows on the sweet potatoes and adding cinnamon, can help cut calories. When January rolls around and your scale hasn’t inched upward, you’ll be glad for every swap you made this
holiday season. Q and A Q: When I choose a loaf of bread, should I choose multigrain bread or whole-wheat bread? Is one better for you than the other? A: Choose the 100% whole wheat. While multigrain may sound healthier, what matters is the amount of fiber. There’s more fiber in the whole-wheat bread than in most multigrain breads. It can be confusing because marketers like to make you think 12 grains of whole grains, or even a label that says “good source of whole grains,” is the best to choose. But the bottom line is fiber. A healthy bread will supply 2-3 grams of fiber per slice. We need 25 to 35 grams of fiber per day, so having a piece of toast or a sandwich with 3 grams of fiber can help accomplish that goal. RECIPE Here’s a healthier holiday side to
try this season: Sheet Pan Roasted Vegetables. The recipe is from Cooking Light. SHEET PAN ROASTED VEGETABLES 3 tablespoons olive oil 2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard 1 tablespoon fresh, chopped thyme 1 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, divided 3/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1 pound butternut squash, peeled and cubed (about 3 cups) 1 pound parsnips, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved 8 ounces small Yukon Gold potatoes, halved Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine oil, mustard, thyme, 2 teaspoons vinegar, salt and pepper in a bowl. Combine butternut squash, parsnips, Brussels sprouts and potatoes in a large bowl. Add mustard mixture to squash mixture; toss to coat. Spread vegetables in a single layer
on a foil-lined baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake at 450 degrees F for 35 minutes, or until browned and tender, stirring gently with a spatula after 25 minutes. Remove pan from oven. Drizzle with remaining 1 teaspoon vinegar, and toss. Serves 10 (serving size: 2/3 cup). Per serving: 132 calories; 3 grams protein; 22 grams carbohydrate; 4.8 grams fat; 0 grams cholesterol; 6 grams fiber; 5 grams total sugars (0 added); 221 milligrams sodium.

The Great Taste of Deck Dining! Canal Park - Miller Hill - Virginia
November 5, 2020 23
Eating healthy on game day The sports landscape changed dramatically in 2020. Professional sports leagues were forced to interrupt and/ or delay their seasons, while many amateur athletes, including college and scholastic players, were told their seasons would not take place in 2020. Despite those delays and cancellations, many athletes are competing this fall and winter. And that means fans will likely gather to cheer on their favorite teams. Game day gatherings are a great way to make sports more fun. But they also can compromise people’s efforts to eat right, as traditional tailgate fare is not always so healthy. Thankfully, there are ways to eat healthy on gameday without forgoing fun.
1. Learn your calorie counts. Education might be your greatest ally if you want to stay the dietary course on game day. According to the United States Department of Agriculture, popular game day fare like beer and chicken wings are high in calories. Beers vary depending on which type you’re drinking, but 12-ounce light beers typically contain around 100 calories apiece. The USDA also notes that a half-dozen chicken wings typically come in at just less than 700 calories, though that number will increase when dipping the wings into blue cheese or ranch dressing or slathering them in barbecue sauce. Understanding how high in calories these staples can be may compel you to
opt for healthier, lighter fare, such as vegetables and water. 2. Pay attention to how much you’re eating. A 2014 study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association: Internal Medicine found that the amount of food people eat while watching something is influenced by what they’re watching. Conducted by researchers at Cornell University, the study found that people ate considerably more while watching action-packed entertainment than they did while watching more sedate programs like talk shows. Researchers concluded that the action-packed programs distracted people from how much they were eating.
If you want to limit how much you eat while watching the big game, make a conscious effort to track your consumption, even making a small snack bag before the game begins and eating only that once it starts. 3. Make your own foods. When you make your own food for game day, you control what you’re putting into your body. Homemade snacks that are low in calories and don’t contain much sugar can help you stay the dietary course more effectively than brownies, chips and nachos. Game day can quickly derail diets if fans aren’t mindful of what they eat. But staying the dietary course on game day is easier than sports fans may think.
A soothing drink for the stomach tline) by Ellen Brown employs ginger, which can help overcome nausea and other stomach issues. Ginger Papaya Smoothie Yields 4 1-cup servings 1 cup chilled papaya nectar 1 container (8 ounces) peach low-fat yogurt 1⁄2-cup silken tofu 1⁄4-cup whey protein powder 3 tablespoons crystallized ginger 2 cups papaya cubes, frozen 4 papaya spears for garnish (optional)
whey protein powder, and crystalized ginger in a blender or smoothie maker. Blend on high speed for 45 seconds or until mixture is puréed and smooth. Add papaya cubes and blend on high speed again until mixture is smooth. Serve immediately garnished with papaya spears, if desired. Tip: Crystallized ginger is fresh ginger that has been cooked in sugar syrup to render it both sweet and tender. It is usually then coated with sugar to prevent the slices from sticking together. To find crystallized ginger, look in the baking section of your supermarket rather than the produce aisle.

Generator safety Dear Readers: Hurricane season doesn’t end until the last day of November. If you’re in a storm and the electrical power goes out, you might want or need to use a portable back-up generator. Just be careful. They emit the poisonous gas carbon monoxide, which is colorless, odorless and deadly. The CDC (CDC.gov) implores us: • Never use a portable generator indoors or in the garage, even with the doors and windows open. • Keep the generator outside at least 20 feet away from your home, doors and windows, pointing the exhaust away from the house. Hundreds of people die or become ill every year from improperly using a portable back-up generator. Read the manual and follow the directions to the letter. – Heloise

Dear Heloise: My wife and I had a misunderstanding recently and I told her, “Even after 40 years, you know I still cannot read your mind!” She replied, “About what?” – Richard Kujath, Omaha, Neb. RV DRIVING Dear Readers: During the pandemic, recreational vehicles have gained popularity, and more people are considering leasing or buying one for road trip vacations. But driving an RV is not the same as driving a car, SUV or pickup truck. It’s important to practice driving your new RV so you are comfortable managing what’s called the “tail swing.” This is a pivot point behind you where the vehicle will move in the opposite direction when you turn. You’ll also need to be sure you’re confident parking and performing other tricky maneuvers. The dealership may offer driving lessons – take them.

QUARREL OVER MONEY FATAL Gogebic County, Mich., Man, While Intoxicated, Kills Son-in-Law. Ironwood, Mich. (Special to the Herald) – A quarrel over money matters between Charles Anderson, a well-to-do grocer and butcher, and his father-in-law, known as Grandpa Pierson, had a fatal termination Sunday. Under the influence of liquor and laboring under the belief that his son-in-law was withholding money belonging to him, Pierson procured a pistol and going to Anderson’s home at Jessieville, near here, shot him three times through the breast. Would Kill Others. The murderer then attempted to kill his son-in-law’s wife but the weapon failing to go off saved the woman. Anderson although mortally wounded shoved the old man our of doors where he was arrested. Mr. Anderson died a short time afterwards. He has been in the grocery business at the Jessieville location many years and has a host of friends who are indignant over the tragedy. He is survived by his wife, two sons, his father and mother, brother and a sister, all residing in that locality. Pierson has been taken to the county jail at Bessemer and will be charged with murder.
The idea of a half holiday tomorrow is gaining favor rapidly among Duluth business men, and they will probably allow their clerks and employees time to vote in peace. The board of trade holds no session during the day, according to custom. Last week’s three parades by coldwater men, Democrats and Republicans cost in the neighborhood of $2,000. The loyal Republicans are no talking of getting up a tremendous parade3 Thursday evening should Harrison and Morton win, as of course they will. There will be a meeting of the Republican colored voters tonight at the municipal court room at 8 o’clock. A full attendance is especially requested as there are matters of importance to be discussed. Judges of election in the different wards are busy today preparing for tomorrow’s fray at the polls. Voters should be on hand early and work as well as vote. A number of leading business men of the city stated their intention of standing at the polls all day.

Republicans Having a Big Time – Page Morris Suffers From Cold. All over the city, today, the Republicans are holding jollification séances. The success of the Republican ticket, though they claim to have known that it would win out, has been a source of pleasure to its supporters all the forenoon and thus far this afternoon. Republican leaders may be seen on every corner congratulating each other on the results of their predictions. The board of trade, this noon, was the scene of a very enthusiastic jollification meeting. The members of the board secured a band, armed themselves with
brooms and marched around the room yelling themselves hoarse. One unlucky trader, who is a Democrat, was brought in line of the procession by main force and dragged about the room, while his jubilant companions “rubbed it in” during their glee, pouring flax over him. Congressman Page Morris seemed to be the only Republican that did not join in the general jollification today. It was, however, clearly a case where the spirit was willing and the flesh weak, for Mr. Morris caught a severe cold last night and had a sore throat today that prevented his leaving his home. One of the latest Republican emblems that has appeared since yesterday is a miniature broom pinned to the coat, its significance of course, being applied to the “clean sweep.”

GETTING THROUGH THIS VAULT DOOR WOULD BE REAL CHORE FOR AMBITIOUS YEGGMEN A seventeen-ton door, six feet four inches in diameter and eighteen inches thick, guards the vault to the newest financial institution in the city, the Minnesota National bank, at 224 West Superior street. Alteration on the building is being ruched so that the bank may be ready to open its doors about Dec. 1. The institution will be the most modern in every respect. The entrance will be of carved Bedford limestone. The counters are of mahogany with marble base. An especially effective ventilation system is being installed. Officers of the bank, however, are particularly proud of the vault. It is of the latest construction and nothing similar to it has been built here. Ten inches of the eighteen-inch thickness

When the building is completed, it is asserted that it will be impossible for any other structure ever to obstruct the outlook. Those, whose rooms face the west and south, will have a view of lake traffic as it enters and leaves the harbor, and of other sights, such as the aerial bridge. The rooms to the east will open upon the wide expanse of East end and hillside development. The site itself is 175 feet on Superior street by 140 feet on Ninth avenue east, extending back to the alley. The building will have outside dimensions of 100 feet n Superior street, and 140 feet on the avenue, and it is the intention of the company to reserve the east 50 to 75 feet, fronting on superior street, on which to build exclusive shops or stores, when

One of the main features will be the roof garden. There will be placed a dance floor and restaurant for the use of guests and the general public.

RESIDENTIAL HOTEL PLANNED FOR DULUTH; WILL COST $1,000,000 Edgelake, Ninth Avenue East and Superior St., Will Be Built. Plans for the construction of a new $1,000,000 residential hotel at the northeast corner of Ninth avenue east and Superior street, to be known as the Edgelake, were announced today by Whitney Wall, president of the Whitney Wall company, which is fiscal agent of the Duluth Residential Hotel company, by whom the building will be erected. Mr. Wall said that Duluthians would be asked to aid in the financing of the project and that the company would receive

subscriptions for stock immediately. Holstead & Sullivan, Duluth architects, have drawn the plans for the new hotel, which, it is claimed, will be by far the finest structure of its kind in the Northwest, and which will compare favorably with any hotel building in the country. The building will be ten stories, with utility basement, will be thoroughly fireproof, and will be constructed of steel and concrete throughout. The exterior will be of pressed brick and white stone, with terra cotta trimmings. Mr. Wall pointed out that the plans are newly drawn and encompass the latest departures in hostelry development. He directed attention to the fact that the plans are not the same as those of the apartment hotel proposed here in 1919. Most Desirable Site. The property on which the Edgelake will be built is considered by Duluthians generally as the most suitable in the entire city for hotel purposes.

A most northerly Coast Guard station The Coast Guard station at Grand Marais, originally known as Superior North, was built in 1928 to aid the people who traveled and worked on the sometimes turbulent waters of Lake Superior. Since the opening of the station in 1929, Coast Guard personnel from the station have rescued hundreds of fishermen, boat crews and passengers, and recreational boaters from the lake. In 1918, Grand Marais was considered the center of the North Shore fishing industry, with 126 official licensed fishermen, an annual estimated value of $172,684, and an annual yield of 4,283,684 pounds of fish. The natural harbor of Grand Marais was also a port from which loads of pulpwood, gravel and other forest products were shipped to mills across the lake. Ships carried locals, visitors and supplies to the communities along the shore. Fishermen, boat crews and passengers, and other travelers on Lake Superior were at grave personal risk from intense storms, which could blow up without warning. The nearest lifesaving station was ninety miles across the lake in Michigan or 120 miles (by car) down the shore, in Duluth. The North Shore Fishermen’s Association petitioned for a life-saving station in March 1919 after losing “about 15 men, just by having them caught in these storms and being swept out to sea.” In response, Congressman W. L. Carss from Duluth introduced a bill (H.R. 9228) that provided $54,175 for a station on September 11, 1919. The estimated yearly cost was another $17,215 for crew, rations, and upkeep. Though President Woodrow Wilson signed the bill in May 1920, it wasn’t until February 1928 that funding was available to construct and staff the station. In August 1928, the Whitney Bros. Company began excavating the site using a scow and steam shovel. Local contractor Ed Nunstedt won the bid of $27,992.00 for construction of the

Coast Guard surf boat at Station Superior North. From the Eliasen Photograph Collection, Cook County Historical Society, Grand Marais facilities, which were to be completed by November 20. A lifeboat, self-bailing surfboat, wagon, motor dory, two small pulling boats, two beach carts and other equipment made up the additional appropriation. CWO (Chief Warrant Officer) Daniel Magnusson arrived in January 1929 to take charge of the new station. Thirteen crew members followed him in April. As was typical in the Coast Guard, they worked long hours and stood a rotating watch over Lake Superior and the harbor. A forty-foot watch tower was built on what is now called Artists’ Point. In the 1930s, crew at the station kept up the lookout twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. While standing watch, four hours on, eight hours off, they also performed duties such as cooking, maintenance and record keeping. The crews remained on duty but were allowed to go into town and could be called to return at any time in an emergency. The base pay at that time was $60 per month, with $30 for rations. Each Lake Superior station was assigned a 36-foot self-righting lifeboat, crewed by three to four men, to be used for rescue. These boats were improved over the years for the safety of the crew, with added navigational aids. The station was closed in March 1973 by the impounding of $10 million of
appropriations for the Coast Guard. Its name was changed to North Superior Auxiliary Station, after which it was manned by Coast Guard Auxiliary volunteers during the boating season. Auxiliary personnel donated their time and boats while the Coast Guard provided fuel, food and station
maintenance. The station reopened in 1977 as North Superior Station but again closed in 1988, reopening for only the months of May through October, with two Coast Guard crewmen. Over the years, the need for a fully manned Coast Guard station declined as new technology and faster rescue crafts were built. Ships no longer supplied the communities, in part because an improved Highway 61 provided tourists and residents with quick access to the North Shore. The last load of logs was rafted across the lake in June 1972. Rising operating costs and an invasion of lamprey eels into Lake Superior took a toll on the ability of fishermen to make a living, and many left the business. In 2019, large ore boats, recreational boaters and some fishermen still operate on the lake. The mission of the station today is law enforcement, marine safety and homeland security from Taconite Harbor to the U.S. Border, including Isle Royale. Four Coast Guard Reservists man the station from Memorial Day to Labor Day.

foot panels are also available and can be more decorative. A combination of the two, with the 2-by-2-foot panels used as a border looks particularly nice. Using 2-by-2-foot panels costs a little more for materials and takes longer to install. The first step is to plan the layout of the ceiling to determine how many panels, grid supports and light fixtures are needed. Make a scale drawing of the grid with the light fixtures included. Long fluorescent tubes or compact fluorescent bulbs are the most energyefficient. Locate the center of the room on your scale drawing, and center a panel under it. If you just start laying them out from one corner, you may end up with space for just a narrow panel on the opposite wall. This does not look good.

Do statins cause leg cramps? Q: I was on rosuvastatin for eight months. During that time, I repeatedly complained to my doctor about severe leg cramps. They finally got so bad that he let me stop the statin. Within two weeks all muscle cramps were gone. What really amazed me, though, was the other things that also changed: My balance improved; my tinnitus improved; my vertigo disappeared; my energy increased; and my depression disappeared. That was seven months ago, and none
of these rosuvastatin side effects has returned. I have changed my diet, mostly following the Mediterranean plan except that I hate fish, and avoid all sugar, which has dropped my cholesterol to perfect levels. I’m horrified that doctors are so unwilling to listen to their patients as to multiple unpleasant or dangerous side effects of statins. A: Some of the symptoms you describe are listed in the official prescribing information for rosuvastatin (Crestor). They include dizziness, depression and lack of energy (asthenia). Although there is a recognition that statins can cause muscle pain, tenderness and weakness, there is no specific mention of leg cramps. That said, dozens of visitors to our website report severe leg cramps associated with statins. Tinnitus (ringing in the ears) is more controversial. There are reports in the medical literature linking these cholesterol-lowering drugs to both improved and worsening symptoms of tinnitus (Circulation, March 28, 2018).

Q: I had a shingles vaccine about six years ago, but I did have a mild outbreak of shingles several months ago. I’m seeing ads on television for Shingrix. How effective is this newer vaccine for preventing outbreaks? A: The trial data for Shingrix shows a relative risk reduction of 97%. Research indicates that for every 11 people getting vaccinated, one would be spared a shingles outbreak. This is considered a very favorable result. To prevent a single longer-lasting painful episode called post-herpetic neuralgia, 34 people would need to get the shot (Applied Health Economics and Health Policy, June 28, 2019). Q: I am disappointed that virtually all of the cold, cough and flu medicines on the market contain acet-
aminophen or an NSAID like ibuprofen. This means that people treating symptoms of an upper respiratory tract infection inadvertently treat the fever as well. That can be counterproductive because fever is the body’s natural response to overcome infection. I am not a fan of combination therapy, but I find it difficult to obtain single-ingredient medications. It’s even more difficult to educate my patients on the dangers of consuming ingredients they don’t need. A: Thank you for noting the importance of fever in combatting infection.

Trump removes gray wolf protections Protections for most gray wolves will once again be eliminated under a final rule announced by the Trump administration. The decision removes gray wolves, except for the Mexican wolf, from the endangered species list in the lower 48 states. The final rule would take effect in January. U.S. Interior Secretary David Bernhardt made the announcement on Thursday at the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife refuge in Bloomington, Minnesota. Bernhardt said last year that the agency planned to propose a rule to de-list the gray wolf, touting the animal’s recovery as one of the nation’s great conservation successes. “Today’s action reflects the Trump Administration’s continued commitment to species conservation based on the
parameters of the law and the best scientific and commercial data available,” said Secretary Bernhardt in a news release. “After more than 45 years as a listed species, the gray wolf has exceeded all conservation goals for recovery. Today’s announcement simply reflects the determination that this species is neither a threatened nor endangered species based on the specific factors Congress has laid out in the law.” The announcement comes days before the election and would allow Wisconsin’s wolf hunt, which was first held in 2012 when the wolves were last de-listed, to resume. Wisconsin is a key battleground state in the U.S. presidential race between President Donald Trump and Democratic presidential nominee and former Vice President Joe Biden.

Wisconsin hasn’t had a wolf hunt since a 2014 ruling placed the gray wolf back on the endangered species list in the western Great Lakes region. Under state law, the wolf hunting and trapping season begins Oct. 15 and runs through the last day of February when the wolf is not listed as an endangered species. Dan Stark, the Minnesota DNR’s large carnivore specialist, told a House panel earlier this year that wolves have long exceeded recovery benchmarks. “The science supports the conclusion that the wolf population in Minnesota has recovered,” he said. Some scientists who reviewed the proposal to de-list the wolf have questioned the science behind the push to remove protections. More than 6,000 wolves currently exist in the continental U.S., according to federal wildlife officials. At one time, Wisconsin alone had as many as 5,000 wolves before they were hunted nearly to extinction, according to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. Wisconsin’s wolf population grew 13 percent in the most recent count to more than 1,000 wolves, according to state data. Aaron Buchholz, deputy administrator of the DNR’s Division of Fish, Wildlife and Parks, said the agency welcomed the decision. “Wolf management, including hunting, will be science-based and conducted in a transparent
and deliberative process,” said Buchholz. “Public and tribal participation will be encouraged, and we welcome all respective viewpoints on the matter.” Buchholz said the agency will revisit its wolf management plan and the wolf hunt. He added that de-listing wolves would give the agency more flexibility to use lethal means to manage the wolf population, especially when livestock depredation occurs. Wolves have been a source of frustration for farmers and hunters who have lost animals or pets due to wolf encounters. WPR has previously reported that conflicts between wolves and people have resulted in the state DNR paying at least $2.5 million in damage payments to hunters and livestock owners over the last three decades. The agency has documented at least 260 gray wolves that have been killed illegally in Wisconsin since 1985. Despite conflicts, a 2014 DNR survey showed resident’s attitudes toward wolves were more favorable than unfavorable. Although, the survey found more support for the animals outside its range in northern and central Wisconsin. The survey also showed a majority of residents supported a hunting and trapping season, which has drawn criticism from tribes and environmental groups. Environmental and conservation groups denounced the de-listing effort, including Melissa Smith,
executive director of Friends of the Wisconsin Wolf & Wildlife. She said she feared removing protections would threaten the wolf’s recovery to its historic range. Smith also highlighted that wolves are just beginning to gain a foothold in other states. “It’s not just about Wisconsin. This is nationwide, so it’s pretty troubling,” said Smith. “Those states that do have management of wolves have very aggressive killing seasons and trapping seasons, and Wisconsin I would expect will not be much different.” Environmental groups like the Center for Biological Diversity have said they intend to file a legal challenge to the rule. Farmers and lawmakers have been pushing to return management to the states. Multiple bills have been introduced in Congress to de-list the wolf over the last several years with the most recent proposal introduced by U.S. Rep. Tom Tiffany, R-Minocqua, in September. U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., introduced legislation in 2015 along with U.S. Rep. Reid Ribble to remove protections for the gray wolf. In a statement Thursday, Johnson said he was pleased with the Trump administration’s decision, but acknowledged it would likely face legal challenges from “irrational activists.” “To ensure this policy isn’t obstructed, Congress must do its job and act to codify it,” said Johnson.
The Trump administration claims gray wolf numbers have climbed enough for them to no longer be considered endangered, thus wolf hunting will become legal again in January. U.S. Fish & Wildlife photo. Peter David, wildlife biologist for the Great Lakes Indian Fish and Wildlife Commission, said the rule is disappointing to tribes. David said Wisconsin tribes have a deep cultural connection to wolves, which play a pivotal role in a healthy ecosystem in the northern forests. “They’re very interested in protecting wolves and gaining the maximum amount of benefits that wolves provide,” said David. “We know that was fairly different than the management goals of the state the last time wolves were de-listed.” David said tribes are at odds with
state law that requires a wolf hunt when the animals aren’t under federal protection. Conservation group Wisconsin’s Green Fire said it supports returning wolf management to states and tribes because the recovery of wolves in Wisconsin and the surrounding region meet the standards set under the Endangered Species Act. But the group is urging the DNR to update its 1999 wolf management plan, according to Sarah Wilkins, science director with Wisconsin’s Green Fire. “The 1999 plan, which is the one that’s in place right now is
outdated, and it’s not using the most current and up-to-date information around wolf biology and wolf science,” said Wilkins. The agency’s 1999 wolf management plan set a goal of dahlberg350 wolves for the state, but that figure was based on a projected population of 500 wolves across Wisconsin. The conservation group also urged the agency to work with a science and technical advisory committee along with a committee of diverse stakeholders in developing a plan, as well as Wisconsin tribes. “We shouldn’t be moving forward and jumping into a hunt right now until we have that conservation plan in place,” said Wilkins. If the hunt is reinstated, the group said the agency should maintain the wolf population within numbers seen over the last several years in the range of 866 to 1,034 wolves. Wilkins said they’re also recommending changes to state law that would ensure decisions regarding wolf management and the wolf hunt would reside with the agency. Wisconsin hunters killed 528 wolves in the three seasons a hunt was held in the state before the animal was placed back on the endangered species list.

Don’t count on the Electoral College Donald Trump may be the last loser to win through the Electoral College. Two of the last three presidencies, Trump’s included, have gone to the candidate who lost the popular vote. In 2000, the Supreme Court halted the Florida recount, handing the election to George W. Bush. It was later determined that Vice President Al Gore actually won the election by half a million votes. In 2016, Hillary Clinton received almost 3 million more votes than Donald Trump, but Trump still won. These victories, where the loser wins, were made possible through the Electoral College, one of the U.S. Constitution’s key anti-democratic provisions. The 55 wealthy white men who drafted the Constitution in 1787, many of whom were slaveholders, envisioned a democracy, but didn’t trust the masses to choose the right president. So, they created the Electoral College. Now, more than 230 years later, a mass movement is building to elect the president through a national popular vote. In December 2000, while the U.S. Supreme Court was deciding on the Florida recount in the Bush v. Gore case, the late, legendary historian Howard Zinn appeared on the Democracy Now! news hour, to shed some light on this little-understood entity, the Electoral College. He described the 1787 Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia: “When they came to the question of how to elect a president, there was a rather lively debate over how the president should be elected and how many years should a president serve and should there be a vice president, and so on. There were several proposals made that the president should be simply elected by popular vote. Those proposals were immediately knocked down ... The founding fathers were really not inclined to have real popular choice of the people who would run our government.” Instead, they devised a plan whereby state legislatures would appoint “electors” who would meet amongst themselves on a state-by-state basis to choose the president, forming a firewall between the voters and the election of the president. At that time, the voters consisted of a very select group of mostly white
landowning men (a few states allowed free Black men to vote as well). Alexander Hamilton, who has achieved star status as the namesake of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s blockbuster musical, defended the decision to create the Electoral College. He wrote in Federalist Paper No. 68 that the Electors, who would deliberate in a “judicious” manner, would weed out presidential contenders who were unfit for office: “Talents for low intrigue, and the little arts of popularity, may alone suffice to elevate a man to the first honors in a single State; but it will require other talents, and a different kind of merit, to establish him ... for the distinguished office of President of the United States.” If the Electoral College was intended to protect the nation from a president skilled at “low intrigue” and “the little arts of popularity,” it clearly failed in 2016. Each state receives a number of electors equal to the number of senators and representatives it has in Congress. Since 1961, the 23rd amendment gave the District of Columbia three electors as well. The states grant their electors to whatever presidential candidate wins the popular vote in their state. In all but two of the states, it’s “winner take all.” It is this system that has driven presidential campaigns to focus almost entirely on a handful of so-called “swing states,” places where either a Republican or Democratic candidate has a chance of winning. The other forty or so states are generally ignored

by the campaigns, as the allocation of their electoral votes is a foregone conclusion. For example, California, Oregon and Washington are “Blue States,” and Mississippi and Alabama are “Red States.” Modern voters, most of whom believe a president should be popularly elected, are joining together, state by state, to overcome the historical aberration of the Electoral College. The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact is a plan to achieve that. It doesn’t do away with the Electoral College. Scrapping it entirely would require the difficult, lengthy constitutional amendment process. Instead, each state that adopts the compact passes a law that says its electors will go to whichever candidate wins the national popular vote in the country as a whole, regardless of what candidate wins in that particular state. The compact won’t take effect until
enough states adopt it so that the aggregate of their electoral votes equals 270 or more – enough to guarantee the presidency to the most popular candidate. To date, 15 states and the District of Columbia have passed the law, amassing a total of 196 electoral votes. When states with a total of 74 electoral votes or more join the compact, the dysfunction of the Electoral College system will come to an end.

Wisconsin COVID cases climb As hospital beds start to fill up across Wisconsin, people wonder where and what kind of care they’ll get if they become ill with COVID-19. Treatments have improved since the beginning of the pandemic, but doctors across the state admit they’re still learning what works and what doesn’t. “We’re still early in this,” said Dr. Mary Beth Graham, the medical director of infection prevention and control at Froedtert and a professor of medicine at the Medical College of Wisconsin. There’s currently no vaccine to prevent COVID-19 and one isn’t expected to be widely available until next year. The current treatments for COVID-19 are largely experimental. Only one – the antiviral drug remdesivir – has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Understanding the Trump treatment Anyone can get COVID-19, including President Donald Trump. When he came down with the ailment, the president received treatment few in Wisconsin or the rest of the country have access to: an antibody cocktail called REGN-COV2. Trump hailed it as a “cure,” though it’s still being investigated in clinical trials. The drug manufacturer Regeneron was quick to point that out after the president touted it as something it isn’t. Doctors also chimed in. “I don’t see it as being a cure, but I do believe it will end up being a very good medicine though,” said Dr. William Hartman, an assistant professor of anesthesiology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Medicine and Public Health. Hartman is overseeing three clinical trials for the UW School of Medicine and Public Health, including one for Regeneron’s monoclonal antibody cocktail. That’s what Trump got as part of his treatment. But patients in clinical trials don’t know if they are getting a placebo or the medicine. That’s how researchers compare results to see if a drug works. And that’s why the antibody made by Regeneron isn’t widely available.

Scientists need to test it first for effectiveness and safety.
Patient: Decision to enter research trial a ‘no-brainer’ In mid-October, fewer than two dozen Wisconsin patients had received the antibody under the UW clinical trial. Lane Manning, 46, was one them. He said he believes he was infected in September while in Florida for a weekend getaway, where he was visiting his mother and also helping his sister with a remodeling project. Upon returning home to Wisconsin, he didn’t feel like himself. “I was a little fatigued, but I thought it was because I was working on the house for three days, right? Drywall, removing wall paper – it was stuff that would make you cough for a day or two. Nothing was out of the ordinary,” he said. It wasn’t an ordinary cough, but a symptom of COVID-19. Manning and his sister had worn face masks while around their elderly mother, but not around each other. When his sister later told him that a friend who visited her Florida home had tested positive, “we kind of figured we had it, too,” said Manning. A test confirmed his suspicions, and Manning isolated himself from his family for two weeks in the basement of his Fitchburg home. Still, his 13-year-old daughter become infected. She lost her sense of smell. And even though Manning’s case was mild, he knows how devastating the disease can be. “Yeah, I have total respect for it That’s why I’m doing the study. That’s why I’m doing this research,” said Manning, who was recognized by the Madison Area Leukemia and Lymphoma Society for his fundraising efforts this year. His father died of cancer and he said his mother, who is in her late 70s, also has cancer. “We’ve always been big fundraisers for medical research. That’s why me jumping on this trial was a no-brainer,” said Manning in regard to the COVID-19 clinical trial. Available treatments for patients hospitalized with COVID-19 include dexamethasone, a common steroid to control the body’s immune response to the COVID-19. They can also get the antiviral drug remdesivir and convalescent plasma from recovered COVID-19 patients.
“When we started in March it really felt like we jumped out of the plane first and then decided to build a parachute. We didn’t know what was going to be effective and what wasn’t.” Dr. William Hartman, an assistant professor of anesthesiology at the University of WisconsinMadison School of Medicine and Public Health, on the early medical response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Hartman is overseeing three clinical trials for the UW School of Medicine and Public Health.
Because of these treatments, a patient who gets COVID-19 now is likely to be better off than those who got a serious case of the disease this spring, said Dr. Hartman. “When we started in March it really felt like we jumped out of the plane first and then decided to build a parachute. We didn’t know what was going to be effective and what wasn’t,” he said. While treatments have improved, so has testing, according to Dr. Michael Landrum. He works at Bellin Health in Green Bay, one of the areas hit the hardest by the pandemic. “Back in March and April, testing was constrained. So you had to be really sick and needing hospitalization before you could get a test. So we were only detecting those patients who were sickest. And so, naturally, the death rate appeared to be quite high back
then,” said Landrum.
Doctors worry as cases climb, death rate will rise Currently, death rates from COVID-19 are low in Wisconsin and across the U.S., but infectious disease experts say that could change. “This is what everybody always feared. Although the death rates aren’t currently up, with hospitalizations and ICU rates up, you can assume deaths will follow,” predicted Dr. Paul Offit, a vaccine advocate and pediatrician at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. He spoke during a Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA) livestream recently. In Wisconsin, the death rate from COVID-19 is highest in Florence County at 3 percent. Statewide, it’s currently less than 1 percent. But as the pandemic gets worse in Wisconsin, daily death counts are regularly breaking records. Last week, Wisconsin topped previous levels for daily case counts and deaths. “When we see so many cases, a proportion of those are going to need to be hospitalized, and unfortunately some of those will not survive,” said Landrum. Without a vaccine, doctors say the best way to prevent the disease is to cover your face, wash your hands and socially distance. For those who contract the disease, some hospitals are near capacity, but doctors now have a better idea what they’re facing. “We at least have somewhat of a playbook of how we’re approaching this illness. We still have a long way to go,” said Landrum.

Not very clubby: At home on the Range I first heard the above expression some while back when I was agent for a British group. That’s how I met and came to visit Marge and Neil south of London. They’d not come to Minnesota unless I could promise 80 degree days and miles of white sand beach. I’d never seen their part of England, so why not? There’s one area where the English especially exceed we inventive Yanks. With centuries of practice over succeeding generations the English are masters of eccentricity. I could cite many examples, but one will do. Marge, a well-known animal rights advocate (and also the only registered Donkey Judge I’ve known – and don’t ask because I can’t explain) had a habit of posting notes all about the house. Outside the kitchen (Ah, the AGA lived there) was a small wash sink with the following bold advisory. MONEY SPIDER UNDER SOAPDISH. No I did and do not know what is a money spider, but in sensible dread of annoying an Arachnid or (worse) Marge, I found an outdoor hose (we’d call it a faucet) to rinse hands before entering the three-story sprawl that was my hosts’ home. (Really, there was no reason I could see to conflict with a female spider champion. I believe female and spider work well either way.) No complaints, Marge and Neil were wonderful hosts, though quirky on a scale with a Sumo as Big. Marge was an engaging conversationalist and talented pianist who
flowed in glorious praise for all things living. Well, not people so much or squirrels. When I mentioned the squirrel army having parties over my head (her part of the house was rather removed from my end) the lady had instant blood in her eye and called Dan the humane squirrel remover. (It was my suspicion humane treatment stopped at the end of the lane and squirrel stew was that night’s menu at Dan’s home.) But if you were a donkey, money spider or butterfly, you could sleep the sleep of the innocent under Marge’s watchful eye. Neil was somewhat less colorful; harder to describe, too. Where Marge was slightly imperious, gaunt and Lady Macbethish, Neil was more round-face ordinary. He did nice work, not that you’d ever know from looking at his shop. Half of it had blown down a few years earlier to be rebuilt reusing much of the scrap to fashion a new slant on the idea of lightly built. Rickety and head banging had no impact on Neil. Despite being told “Mind your head” it was I who often as not kissed something overhanging with my forehead. Neil was shorter than I and missed much of that entertainment. Not a complainer, Neil referred to his time at school as being moderately lonely because he was not very clubby; meaning, as a Brit might say, he kept himself to himself. At the time I was more bemused by other things such as why the Pound was also called a Quid, which sounded

suspiciously like it had something to do with certain octopus-like cephalopods. Neil not being clubby was an illuminator of different cultures. I’d not call myself clubby, but I was game to grab after school excuses to be out of the house. It was long after that I thought maybe I’d been clubby and never knew. Very possibly so but at the time my mind was much fascinated by a secret weapon I discovered at the Tacora Theatre, where on occasion I viewed an entire movie. More important than the movie were Milk Duds. Consume a few and your breath was sweetly chocolaty. Milk Duds in the arsenal made me an able kisser, a duo rather than club activity. Fortified by Milk Duds, determined to see how successful I could be, I hit an unforeseen end when an enthusiastic date suddenly grabbed me just above the knee. Volleyball had given her a hellishly fierce grip that left me in immediate need of fresh underpants. At home of course, not where I needed them. Any case it was a useful lesson for a 15-year-old to learn the limits of secret weapons. Clubby, in duets or solo, we muddle along trying to make the best of whatever with occasional surprises along the way. Lately reminded of Neil’s clubby comment I saw why I left North Shore for Iron Range. For me the shore grew clubby in the awfulest way. It became artsy. Imagine a society where one in ten is an aspiring author with a manuscript to talk about. Add as many more unpublished poets followed by a windrow of dramatists and a chorus line of choreographers. It’s too much.
Taken one at a time and spaced I might have managed well enough, but taken along with weekly festivals of the heart-of-arts’-art the impact overwhelms with dulling effect. No, not dull; the result more a desire to lure the bulk of them onto a ship that would mysteriously vanish in mid Lake Superior with I alone left to tell thee. For me the problem with clubbyness is those involved expecting you to approve and appreciate. If it’s significant to them it has to be important to you. I’m sorry, but no. Clubbyness of this sort is often mistermed community. But again, no. It’s not community when Kumbaya singers want to enforce approval of their efforts “for community,” actually a self-congratulatory clique. How liberating in comparison is the non-clubby Range, where no one expects you to do anything, especially wear robes of togetherness. Clubby is a social dis-ease where one art fair leads to another and another until all the macramé plant hangers, painted rocks, calendar photos and over vivid watercolors are gone That would be never. Copper bracelets and loon items breed faster than fruit flies. I don’t fit in particularly well on the Range (true no matter where I go), but it doesn’t matter because fitting in is not expected. A typical Ranger will dish out to me, their friends, to anyone. Ranger rough edges challenge the conformity others cuddle in cozy clubs of where grandest self-appreciation gives satisfaction beyond measure.

A day to honor all veterans The month of November is a special time for the nation’s veterans. While Memorial Day honors fallen soldiers and service people, Veteran’s Day, which takes place each November, is an opportunity to commemorate the efforts of all who have been in the armed forces, with a special emphasis on living veterans. While people are encouraged to thank veterans throughout the year, Veteran’s Day is a particularly poignant time to show your appreciation for the men and women of the military. Veteran’s Day takes place on November 11 and marks an important moment in history. On November 11, 1918, World War I, known at the time as “The Great War,” unofficially ended when an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, took place between Germany and the Allied nations on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. World War I ended on paper when the Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919. In November 1919, President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed November 11 as the first commemoration of Armistice Day, according to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. In introducing it, Wilson said: “To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations…” The original concept for the celebration was for a day observed with parades and public meetings and a brief suspension of business beginning at 11 am. Armistice Day became a federal holiday in the United States in 1938. However, after subsequent wars, including World War II and the Korean War, veterans’ service organizations lobbied for Armistice Day to be revised so it would be more inclusive of all veterans. On June 1, 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed legislation to strike the word “Armistice” from the holiday’s name in favor of “Veterans.” Since then, November 11 has been known as “Veterans Day” and has honored veterans of all wars. Veterans Day was moved to the fourth Monday in October for roughly

seven years under the Uniform Monday Holiday Act, which sought to ensure three-day weekends for federal employees by celebrating certain national holidays on Mondays. But since November 11 bore such significance, many states disapproved and continued to observe the holiday on November 11. In 1975, President Gerald Ford signed legislation to return the observation of Veterans Day to November 11 beginning in 1978. Should the day fall on a Saturday or Sunday, the federal government observes the holiday on the previous Friday or following Monday, respectively, according to History.com. The United States isn’t the only country to celebrate its veterans. Canada, Great Britain, Australia, and France also commemorate the veterans of World War I and II on or near November 11 as Remembrance Day or Remembrance Sunday. Veterans Day celebrations The Official State of Minnesota Veterans Day Program will be held virtually this year in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. The program will be a 30-minute recorded event starting at 8 am on Nov. 11. The Minnesota Department of Veterans Affairs (MDVA) is inviting all Minnesotans to celebrate and honor all
Veterans who have served our state and country. Join the celebration at MinnesotaVeteran.org/VeteransDay2020 “While we are unable to gather in person this year, the importance of recognizing Minnesota’s Veterans for their service and sacrifice has not diminished,” said MDVA Commissioner Larry Herke. “We encourage all Minnesotans to take a moment to thank the Veterans in their lives for the freedoms we all enjoy.” The recorded program will include music and remarks from: • Minnesota Governor Tim Walz • Minnesota Department of Veterans Affairs Commissioner Larry Herke • Adjutant General of the Minnesota National Guard Brig. Gen. Shawn Manke The program will be hosted by U.S Army Gulf War Veteran and WCCO-TV reporter Reg Chapman. On Friday, Nov. 6, veterans can tour the Glensheen mansion for free. That date was chosen because Glensheen will be closed Nov. 11 for holiday decorating. The University of Wisconsin-Superior is holding several events throughout the week in honor of those who are serving or who have served our country.
• Free Fitness Week for Veterans, Nov. 11-15, Marcovich Wellness Center. Offered by the Veteran and Nontraditional Student Center (VNSC) and Campus Recreation, all veterans have full, free access to the MWC during regular hours of operation for free. Military veterans must present military identification. • Veterans Day Ceremony and 7th Annual Excellence in Service Awards, Nov. 11, 11 am-noon, Yellowjacket Union - Shippar Family Atrium. The event will begin with the presentation of colors, National Anthem and Native American Honor song. UW-Superior Chancellor Dr. Renee Wachter will give a welcome address, followed by guest speaker, UW-Superior veteran alumni Dave Van Landschoot, and the presentation of Excellence in Service Awards. • Red Cross Holiday Mail for Heroes, Nov. 12-13, 11 am-1 pm, Yellowjacket Union - Shippar Family Atrium. Students, faculty, staff and community members will have the opportunity to write and send letters to military personnel stationed abroad for no charge. • John Kriesel – Still Standing. Still Smiling, Nov. 12, noon-1 pm, Yellowjacket Union - Great Room. In 2006, John Kriesel was nearly killed by a roadside bomb in Iraq. Rushed to a field hospital and struggling to remain alive, Kriesel survived through four hospitals, 35 surgeries and months of recovery. He lost both legs and suffered numerous additional injuries. Now a motivational speaker, Kriesel will share his story and lessons learned. • Ask a Veteran Q-and-A Forum, Nov. 13, noon-1 p.m., Yellowjacket Union - Shippar Family Atrium. UWSuperior has a growing population of students who are military veterans from all branches and affiliations. At this event, students, faculty, staff and community members will have a chance to talk to student veterans about their military experiences both at home and overseas and to promote a friendlier campus community. • Green Zone Training, Nov. 14, 11:30 am-12:50 pm, William ‘Pope’ Wright Jr. Student Center. This inperson training for faculty, staff and students is designed to develop a campus community of support for student veterans and their families. Attendees will gain tools to enhance the overall college experience for student veterans.

Frost radiates out along the veins of a nasturtium leaf. Something as simple and common as moss can elicit feelings of awe, especially when we look closer, or in a new light (this photo was taken with UV light). Photos by Emily Stone.
This, too, is described in the research. Experiencing awe brings us into the present moment, which changes our perception of time: it slows down. We feel like we have more time. And isn’t that what many of us want most? That perception of extra time has been shown to make people more patient and more willing to help others. There are other positive outcomes, too. Feeling awe increases life satisfaction, generosity and humility; decreases aggression; and improves the way we perceive our bodies – and our fellow humans. Researchers at the UC San Francisco Memory and Aging Center wanted to find out if feeling awe could improve brain health in older adults, so they designed a simple study. The participants were asked to go on a 15-minute walk at least once a week. Half of the group was given a little lecture about the nature of awe, and were encouraged to try and experience it during their walks. The control group just walked. They all took selfies during
each outing. During the course of the study, the control group actually took more walks (possibly because they thought the study was about exercise) but experienced none of the positive outcomes of the awe group. They mostly reported focusing inward, on things like their to-do lists. Those who were told to focus on awe reported that they felt more positive emotions such as compassion and gratitude in their daily lives, and less stress. Their attention shifted outward. In parallel, their faces took up less of each photo, with the landscape around them becoming more prominent, and their smiles took up more of their faces, too. These effects grew stronger the longer they practiced experiencing awe. So, you’ve just been given your little lecture about the nature of awe. Now, I think it’s time to head outside, don’t you? And if you happen to take a selfie, or just a pretty photo, while you’re out there, feel free to share it with me through email, or the Cable Natural History Museum’s social media accounts, or #awewalk.

Are we burying ourselves in PPE waste? Dear EarthTalk: What’s the environmental impact of all the singleuse PPE we are throwing away now in huge numbers as a result of responding to the COVID-19 crisis? — Jay M., Cary, NC There’s no question about it: all the disposable Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in our waste stream is taking a toll on the environment. A recent study in the journal Environmental Science & Technology found that we are using some 129 billion disposable masks and 65 billion disposable gloves every month around the world nowadays as we try to stay safe in the midst of the worst pandemic to hit the human race in a century. Most of the masks in the U.S. are made out of polypropylene-based plastic but some are made from related forms of plastic such as polystyrene, polycarbonate, poly-
ethylene or polyester. These synthetic fibers are designed to resist liquids and do not biodegrade in the environment once discarded, instead breaking down into smaller and smaller pieces of plastic that end up in landfills or, even worse, as litter that finds its way into waterways and the ocean. Some of the discarded PPE ends up in medical waste bins and is shipped off to an incinerator for disposal, which unfortunately may not be any better for our health or the environment. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), incinerators send particulate matter, heavy metals, acid gases, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide and other noxious pollutants airborne. As such, environmental advocates aren’t happy about a plan by the United Nations to help communities around the world set up their own small local incinerators to deal with PPE and other
EARTH TALK DOUG MOSS
COVID-related waste. Meanwhile, reusable masks may have a longer life as a useful product, but that doesn’t mean they’ll necessarily biodegrade in the environment when their time comes. Most are made from cheap synthetic fabrics such as nylon or polyester and are prone to breakage and short lifespans, and can last even longer and wreak more havoc when littered into the environment. The upshot of all this is that we’ll have discarded PPE from the pandemic around for a lot longer than we would like. It joins the rotting plastic that sits in landfills, washes up on beaches and floats in oceans, amounting to more than five trillion plastic particles contaminating the world’s surface waters. The particles are toxic to ecosys-
tems and wildlife. Marine creatures can mistake mask remnants and fibers for food, and/or can get entangled in them so they can’t hunt, feed or eat. So what can we do to offset, or even halt the impact? The pandemic continues, but by choosing reusable, biodegradable masks, we can reduce the demand and consumption of PPE. Eco-friendly alternatives are available – or you can make your own using salvaged fabric and online craft guides. The Hemp Foundation and Tentree sell masks made from biodegradable and repurposed materials. Meanwhile, Bambooo’s bamboo masks are made out of sustainably sourced, pesticide-free bamboo, and Planet Organics’ cotton/rubber varieties are also attractive and easy on the environment.

Mazda CX-5 hikes power, luxury for 2021

We all select our own reasons for choosing a vehicle to buy. Some might go for design, for features, for interior, for power, for fuel efficiency, for handling, for hightechnology – pick your criteria. If you are greedy, and want “all of the above,” you might save time by starting out looking at a Mazda CX-5. Mazdas always have fascinated me because of the David and Goliath success of the small company from Hiroshima, Japan, and that goes way back to when they first started bringing cars to the U.S.
While Honda and Toyota and Nissan came in with a surge to captivate American buyers with their economy, efficiency and durability, Mazda was right up there with them, but sort of submerged the brilliance by arranging a deal with Ford Motor Company. It was an impressive partnership, with Mazda building a plant in Flat Rock, Michigan, to build cars, but they also combined with Ford on a few. Mazda, for example, built the Ford Probe sporty coupe, which offered either a V6, built by Ford, or a

4-cylinder, built by Mazda. A few years later, Mazda was about to introduce a new idea – a compact utility vehicle called the Tribute. Ford seized upon the opportunity to work a joint venture, and provided the plant for Mazda to build two versions of the Tribute, with one of them going to Ford. That is how the Escape began life. A lot of car-buyers assumed Ford had built the Escape and gave its partner, Mazda, a version called the Tribute. But it was the other way around. Again, both vehicles offered a Fordbuilt V6 or a Mazda-built 4. By the time Mazda went off on its own, it kept providing their troublefree and potent 4-cylinder for Ford, and, in fact, its lineage can be traced
to the much-modified current Ford 2.3-liter EcoBoost 4. Meanwhile, Toyota, Honda and Nissan had soared above and beyond the Mazda’s sales, even though Mazda kept coming up with brilliant technical advances. Remember the RX-7 sports cars with their rotary engine? Now it’s 2020, and Mazda seems to have settled into its role as a small company with fantastic engineering ideas and is willing to claim those two scary words – underrated and overlooked. People who buy Mazdas are usually more than satisfied with the sedans, such as the Mazda3, and Mazda6,

and they are overjoyed with the array of utility vehicles, now that American buyers are consumed with SUVs. Mazda builds the large CX-9, the compact CX-3, and the midsize CX-5, and has just added the CX-30 between the CX-3 and CX-5. We probably would have bought a CX-3 if our two adult sons could fit into the rear seat when they come to Duluth to visit us. A good friend of ours bought a CX-5 at our urging, and loves it. As the models evolve onward and upward, the design of the CX-5 gets better and more attractive, with flowing lines from front to rear and with no wasted curves or contours. To me, it is the extension of the Mazda Tribute from decades ago, having grown up to a level of sophistication that in no way intrudes on Mazda’s legendary trademark of “Zoom, Zoom.” Meaning, fun to drive. For 2021, Mazda is finally trying to reach out to claim the share of the segment that should be rightfully its own. The technology is above and beyond all its competitors from anywhere in the world. When you talk auto technology, people normally interested in cars tend to yawn and you can watch their eyes glaze over. And if you seek out the top auto magazines in hopes of finding proper explanations, forget it. Even Car and Driver or Motor Trend seem to have decided to not bother their readers with details. Engines and suspension techniques are not new, but good engines are more scarce, and truly great, innovative engines are in a class of their own. That’s where Mazda engineers play, in two exclusive ways. First, the Skyactiv engines are the result of ingenious engineering, which involved throwing away all preconceived idea of how to build an engine and starting with a clean sheet to incorporate all of the new tricks of the industry and incorporating them. Variable valve-timing, extremely efficient operation, and completely cleaning up the air-fuel intake and the exhaust, with both benefiting from computer-aided schemes. Having already tried various ideas such as Atkinson Cycle ability to advance or retard valve operation to get precise dosages of fuel injected and then held for maximum burning. Second, after Skyactiv gave Mazda engines that could run at 13-to-1 compression ratios but still call for regular fuel, making its cars perform above their station and achieve very high gas mileage, the company pursued its other objective of great handling. Anyone who has ever driven
a Miata 2-seat sports car knows that Mazda builds exceptional handling sports cars, proving you can have more fun with a Miata on a cloverleaf than with a high-powered sports car on a race track. The handling technique is called G-Vectoring. Common instincts would tell us that if you swerve abruptly into a left turn, for example, you’d like to have the outside front suspension bolstered and an extra dose of power with which to take on the G-forces. Wrong! Mazda engineers did the opposite. By softening the outside front suspension and decreasing its power – for just a millisecond – the driver realizes that he must follow through on the proper trajectory. It not only works, it is imperceptible to the touch. You turn, with sudden confidence, and you’re around the corner or curve. As I say, it is just a millisecond, but it has a remarkable effect on your driving habits. It may take a while, during which you’re allowed to simply say you have the best-handling car in the industry, but sooner or later you will realize that when you make a turn, no matter how hard, you never correct with the steering wheel. You already are perfect. It is amazing, and it is a wonderful safety feature as well as something that enhances your driving fun. The new CX-5 has all of that. The base model up through the top “Signature” test drive model, have both features, which means the CX-5 steers with a precision you don’t anticipate until you are around the curve and down the road. How good is it? Well, Car and Driver recently did a comparison test of six top compact SUVs, including the CX5, the Honda CR-V, the Toyota RAV4, the Ford Escape, Subaru Forester, and Volkswagen Tiguan. I always get a chuckle out of that magazine’s manipulation, adding in subjective feelings that just happen to sway the final point tallies in favor of the model they like the most. We’d probably do the same thing. But in this case, after all the impressive features of the rest of the field, the CX-5 won and the writers involved expressed surprise, saying that it didn’t stand out in any specific area, but it had an overall feel that thrust it to the top. Its body motions are carefully honed, they said, and near-perfect throttle response makes it seem more powerful than it is, and its steering is true and progressive…”sophisticated and engaging.” My guess is that nobody in the new generation of Car and Driver reviewers had any knowledge or understanding of either Skyactiv or G-Vectoring,
Understated blend of contours and curves set CX-5 apart.
The rear-view camera can switch to show scene out front, too..
because neither of those unique features ever got mentioned in the entire article. Having won that competition among 2020 models, it would be interesting to see a rematch, because the new 2021 CX-5 that I recently test drove had Mazda’s most recent “secret weapon.” While I love the old 2.0-liter engine, the newly enlarged 2.5-liter 4-cylinder with its “Skyactiv-G” has a turbocharger blasting fuel-air into the high-tech engine and generating 227 horsepower and 320 foot-pounds of torque. That is enough to fling the CX-5 away from stoplights or down the entrance ramp, and you can govern the 6-speed automatic’s shift points with steering wheel paddles. The only liability is that the 30-plus miles-per-gallon I was anticipating was significantly reduced, although I was able to reach the EPA estimated 27 mpg by light footing the gas pedal. What Mazda also has done is to upgrade the interior materials, featuring real wood trim and Catarra brown Nappa leather seats and trim. The dashboard is startlingly clean and straight, with a 10.25-inch navigation screen perched atop the center stack.
The test car came in deep Crystal Blue Mica paint, a dark navy-ish color. The CX-5 used to be obtainable for less than $30,000, but the technology was worth far more. Mazda is trying to catch up, with the top Signature model listing for $38,630. That includes, of course, the full suite of driving features, such as rear camera, top-down surround view, with all the alarms and lane-departure items, front and rear stabilizer bars on the taut suspension, a 10-speaker Bose audio system, and all the stability and dynamic devices Mazda can group together. The seating for five is adequate, and the cargo area in back is decent, for a compact SUV. Riding comfort is there, but the real treat is driving. It is true that you can find many of the CX-5’s features on competitors, but when you start to make a comparison list, look at the styling, then write down “Skyactiv-G” and “G-Vectoring” and see if you can find anything else in the industry that can match those features. For any price.

Vikings should be proud, but beware the Lions It was pretty much small talk, as I walked into our living room to turn on the satellite feed for the Vikings game at Green Bay. I suggested to my wife, Joan, that I had a funny feeling about that game, because it was almost too certain. My younger son, by text message, responded when I asked him what he thought the score would be, by saying “Packers by 75.” But I said the Vikings had played so poorly the week before losing 40-23 at Atlanta, that they had to have the ability to summon up a big game against their arch rivals. Besides, I added, I don’t think the Packers are that great. My theory follows that this division is questionable, with Chicago and Detroit improving, the Vikings faltering, and the Packers having the unfair advantage of having Aaron Rodgers on their side. So if I was predicting, I’ll accept it, but nobody could anticipate Rodgers would throw three touchdown passes to Davante Adams, but the Vikings would win the game 2822 simply because the game plan called for handing the ball to Dalvin Cook 30 times — enough to prevent quarterback Kirk Cousins from imploding or fouling up the system — and Cook would run for four touchdowns while gaining 163 yards on the ground and speeding away for 63 yards and another touchdown with Cousins passes. Hard to believe or not, the victory lifted the Vikings to 2-5 and knocked the Packers down to 5-2, preventing a division runaway and leaving there Bears and even the Lions with hope. Watch out this week, however, because the Vikings have to go up against Detroit, which has Matthew Stafford and the kind of team that could foul up the Vikings. Green Bay, meanwhile, has to go to San Francisco Thursday night in a battle of two battered teams, physically If there was a weekend where it wasn’t bad to turn on the big-screen TV and watch a little football, last weekend was it. Maybe it’s because we spent so many weeks without any
a 70-yard touchdown pass from Evan Checkalski to Dominic Jauhola. My plan was to go up to Hermantown to watch the powerful Cloquet Lumberjacks invade the Hawks new artificial turf field, but as things broke, I made an alternative choice. The University of Minnesota had pumped up all its loyal backers for a big opener against Michigan, but the Gophers fell apart and lost 49-24. Somebody Gophers could do so well last year and yet get whipped so soundly by Michigan. I pointed out that last season, they built up a nice resume but nowhere on their schedule were games against either Michigan or Ohio State. Now we see how the big boys play.

sports to watch, but now that we’ve got high school, college and NFL football at full speed, there was quite an array to choose from.
Now I have a new theory: Because of the short training camps in pro and college ball, the teams are not as razor-sharp, which means some mistakes are more likely, and the offenses have a chance to score large numbers of touchdowns for sensational comebacks. My weekend started out when I went out to Duluth East’s Ordean field where Proctor was facing the Greyhounds in a 3 p.m. game. It was an intriguing game for a while, but then East sent its bookend gamebreakers into action. That would be sophomore Austan Orvedahl and
senior Aaron DeBeir, a pair of swift running backs who take the pressure off junior quarterback Dean Hudoba with their skill. It was still scoreless when DeBeir swung around left end and took off, sprinting away from the Rails defense for a 50-yard touchdown run. Next time with the ball, it was Orvedahl’s turn, and he, too, got around left end, turned the corner and took off — 66 yards for a 13-0 Greyhounds lead. DeBeir caught a 45-yard touchdown pass form Hudoba later, and Orvedahl ran in for a short TD. East led 26-0 at the half, but the great thing about Proctor is you always can count on getting all the Rails have got. They came back and scored the two final touchdowns in a 33-17 setback against the powerful Hounds. Hudoba connected with Jayden Mueller for a 19-yard touchdown pass before the Rails rally, which was highlighted by
So last Friday night, the Gophers were going out to Maryland, where they were overwhelming favorites against a Maryland team that got blasted 43-3 in their opener against Northwestern. Northwestern! The only way the Wildcats could beat a team that badly was if they beat ‘em up with their thesauruses first. But I suggested before that game at Maryland that it, too, was one of those set-up games where the Gophers were no guarantee, and Maryland was going home to prove they weren’t that bad. And did they? After a crazy game of Big Ten Defense giveaway, Maryland turned loose a quarterback named Taulia Tagovailoa, from Ewa Beach, Hawaii, and he proved that all those passes he threw out of reach of his receivers against Northwestern, he could put on the money against Minnesota. He threw two touchdown passes and ran for a third for a 21-7 early lead, then, after the Gophers had taken over the game and built a 38-21 lead after three quarters, Tagovailoa led the Terrapins to two touchdowns and a 51-yard field goal in the fourth quarter, to rise to a 38-all tie. Tagovailoa brought the Terrapins in from the 25 and scored himself for a 45-38 edge, and when the Gophers marched right back in themselves for a potentially tying touchdown, the Gophers missed the extra point — and fell 45-44.

I wasn’t so smart, though, because the game I missed was a barn-burner, with Hermantown seizing a 31-30 upset with a goal-line stop against Cloquet. On NFL Sunday, there were other intriguing games, with Indianapolis crushing Detroit 41-21 despite Matthew Stafford’s 336 yards passing. It was 20-14 after three quarters. New Orleans rallied to knock off Chicago 26-23 in overtime, after tying the game with a field goal with 13 seconds left in regulation. Denver beat the Los Angeles Chargers 31-30 when Drew Lock threw a 1-yard touchdown pass to K.J. Hamler as the clock went to 0:00. And my old favorite, Seattle, whipped San Francisco 37-27 as the
inimitable Russell Wilson went 27-37 for four touchdowns. The Seahawks led 27-7 after three quarters, then took their foot off the gas and let the 49ers come back to make it close. Funny how some teams get to learn serious lessons but still win? Also on Sunday morning, we got up early for a 6:10 a.m. Imola, Italy, Grand Prix, with Lewis Hamilton winning — again. He now has 92 career Formula 1 victories, passing Michael Schumacher two weeks ago, and now putting distance between his Mercedes and the field. When he won at Portugal to tie Schumacher, the former World Champion sent one of his red Ferrari race helmets to Hamilton to celebrate his success.

Coyotes and UND drop ball on bullying hockey star ... twice LIGHTHOUSE POINT – I have operated my life in a rudimentary fashion for many years, only adhering to a couple of philosophies. That is that I do not steal or vandalize another’s property or possessions, and I do not harm or abuse anyone’s person at any time. What anyone else does on their own time or to themselves is their own business, in my view. I only hope that they make good decisions and don’t live a lifestyle that harms them or anyone else physically or mentally. That would certainly include psychological violence directed toward others. Also, I would hope that others would care for themselves regarding the dangers of substance abuse of any type. For many, it’s the most dangerous path to be on. In our world today, here and elsewhere, we have many humans that do not adhere to those philosophies. These are people who live their lives in a manner that harms others in many different ways. One of the most despicable acts that a person can do to another is that of bullying. That act can include either physical or psychological violence. One of the worst forms of bullying is when a victim is a person who is already dealing with a physical or mental disadvantage. To bully someone is bad enough; to do that to a person who is already suffering is unspeakable to my thinking. That behavior can only come from an individual with deeprooted psychological problems. My first question would be to wonder if that person had been a victim at one time in their own life. If the answer is no, I’m left to consider what created this type of behavior within a person who hadn’t been exposed to it. The hockey world has been abuzz recently with the story of one Mitchell Miller. He is a young man from Ohio who could be considered an upperlevel prospect at this time. He is a late ‘01’ player and has the usual background of someone climbing
amateur hockey ranks. He has been a member of the Compuware and Honeybaked programs in Michigan. He has played in the USHL and was slated to play with the University of North Dakota program this upcoming season. In the most recent NHL Entry Draft, the Arizona Coyotes selected him in the 4th Round, 111th. Things were looking up for Miller. Until the Arizona Republic broke a story last week about his past. The report revealed that Miller and another young man had been found guilty in a juvenile court of abusing and bullying a classmate in the 8th grade. The young victim, Isaiah Meyer-Crothers, is a black, developmentally disabled person with diminished mental capabilities. His mother stated that Miller’s abuse of her son began way back in the 2nd grade when Miller repeatedly used racial epithets against him and other racist and derogatory terminology. It gets worse. There is one incident that is so vile I’m not going to write about it here. And that’s the matter that finally brought Miller and a friend into a juvenile court to face some justice. At any rate, it’s mind-boggling to me. We are referring to at least a 6-year time frame of psychological abuse occurring here. Where were “the adults,” and how was this allowed to repeat itself for so long? Also, issues like these are discussed with youth players at least once per season. That usually comes from USA Hockey program formats or from a State or local program level of acceptable behavior and what’s not. Did Miller miss all of this somehow? This incident was known within his background checks and so forth because several NHL teams passed on this player at the draft. So why did the Coyotes throw caution to the wind and pick him anyway? Why did North Dakota decide to bring him into their program if they also knew of this beforehand? There have been multiple failures here by people who should know

Mitchell Miller seemed like a hot prospect when the Arizona Coyotes chose him in the most recent NHL draft, until a newspaper report uncovered Miller’s history of bullying. better. First off, how is Meyer-Crothers at this point? Is he doing as well as possible under the circumstances? Hopefully, he is. And if not, is he receiving the types of care he needs? Psychological injury can be harder to recover from than physical ones. As far as Miller goes, I don’t desire to see him destroyed by this. Most of us, myself included, believe in second chances. But I would need to know if Miller has genuinely learned anything from this. Has he reached out to the victim and his family and tried to make honest and sincere amends? It will be troubling to me if he hasn’t. What prompted his behavior in the first place? Why was this allowed to go on for so long? In an ideal world, the NHL would have moved in before he was even selected and mapped out some areas for improvement before he could be allowed into the draft.
No one was unaware of this matter relative to Miller’s past. The same goes for North Dakota. What were they thinking here? In a dichotomy of epic proportion, hockey players are expected to defend a teammate in the blink of an eye, no matter what. But, Miller decided it was OK to abuse a person he viewed as weaker or not of his equal. At this point, we have four sets of losers, five if you count the NHL. If common sense and a bit of foresight had prevailed, we could have had winners all the way around. Miller and his family could have reached out to the victim and his family and made sure that he was doing OK, and if not, worked to make that occur. If he wasn’t already, Miller himself needed to get into programs that could have addressed his flaws in this area. The NHL, the Coyotes, and perhaps even UND could have worked in concert to create win-wins for all involved. If this could have been done for Meyer-Crothers in a non-exploitive manner, all the better. Still, questions abound regarding Miller and his character. Some close to the matter state that Miller has never personally apologized to MeyerCrothers or his family. Others wonder if any remorse on his part is sincere or only “sorry I got caught” remorse. Some see a path of correction and redemption for him, while more do not see any way that he’ll ever be able to return to the game. For myself, I don’t know anyone involved here, but this is the game I deeply love. I’m left to wonder how my game could turn a blind eye to this situation and NOT step in until this point in time. If sports are supposed to be a reward to our kids for exemplary behavior, good grades, good citizenship, and so on, what happened here? Why was a child with Isaiah’s challenges allowed to be around students who had the potential to abuse him as he was? I’ll hope that some more clear-cut answers and dialogue are forthcoming. PEACE

SENSORY FOCAL POINT: Find a focal point in the moment and through the lens of each of your senses. For instance, if you find yourself freaking out while stuck in traffic, an immediate focal point might be your interior car environment. Bring your attention to the textured feel of the sturdy wheel in your hands. Notice the color gradations around you and through your window, the sounds of humanity around you and the unique taste and smell of your earthly location. Know that this moment is somehow truly unlike any other that ever has been or ever will be. Consider that anxiety is usually occurring in some projected, distant reality of your mind’s making. Any one of your senses can provide a way back to the serenity to be found in the present moment.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): People around you are more tuned in to you than you think. You’ll manage your life gracefully, balancing the many elements required to keep you in good spirits.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): With a little expressed appreciation, you’ll be able to squeeze more information out of a simple conversation. Even so, keep in mind that what people don’t say will be more revealing than what they do.

Protecting your tween from cyberbullying Enola Holmes star Millie Bobby Brown, now 16, was cyberbullied while appearing in Stranger Things. Her first season, she was only 12 and by 14 she had to shut down her Twitter account to escape the abuse. Recently she wrote: “... the inaccuracy, inappropriate comments, sexualization and unnecessary insults ... ultimately have resulted in pain and insecurity for me. But not ever will I be defeated.” Bravo! But tweens aren’t always able to find the strength to deal with cyberbullying. According to a Tween Cyberbullying 2020, new report from Cartoon Network and the Cyberbullying Research Center, online abuse is a growing problem for younger kids now that 21% of 9-year-olds and 68% of 12-year-olds have an internet-enabled smartphone. The report found 15% of tweens have witnessed cyberbullying; 6% have been cyberbullied many times; 8.5% report being cyberbullied once or twice. Among kids who’ve been targets, nearly 70% say it negatively impacted their self-esteem. Almost one-third said it affected their friendships, 13.1% said it affected their physical health and 6.5% said it impacted schoolwork. The report urges parents to open up a dialogue with their tweens about the issue, and if they find their child is affected, to give unequivocal support, find out what your child wants to do about it and offer suggestions for stopping it from happening. Visit these websites together for info on how to proceed: stopbullying.gov; National Bullying Prevention Center at pacer.org/bullying; and the Cyberbullying Research Center at cyberbullying. org.
risk for cardiovascular disease, diabetes and depression. Plus you burn calories and build muscle. So here’s how to put some pep in your steps: 1. Try interval walking: 30 seconds to three minutes of walking quickly with three to five minutes of walking at a regular pace repeated over the course of your 30 to 60+ minute walk. 2. Use Nordic walking poles to increase upper body engagement and calorie burn. 3. Do meditative walking. Focus on your breathing – a count of four to inhale, count of eight, slowly, to exhale. Or try mindful walking. Notice the feel of the air on your skin, listen to the wind in the trees. Let thoughts enter your mind and drift away. Don’t do these while simultaneously doing Nos. 1 or 2! If you add 15 minutes of these calming techniques at the end of a walk, however, you’ll cool down and cool out. 4. For more tips, check out sharecare. com and search, “How can I make my exercise less boring?”

So what are you waiting for? On a sunny windowsill, plant basil, oregano, parsley, rosemary, thyme, mint and sage. Bob Vila can help you get started at bobvila.com/articles/indoor-gardening. And for recipes that use these herbs check out Dr. Mike’s What to Eat When Cookbook. You have to move! Sylvester Stallone’s Rocky days are over, but at age 74, he hasn’t given up his vigorous training regimen. It often consists of three or four sets of a dozen weightlifting exercises. He also begins
and ends each workout with 10 to 20 minutes of cardio. Fortunately, recent research suggests you don’t have to emulate Stallone to age well and stay fit. A study on physical fitness intensity and older adults found that those who regularly did high-intensity interval training didn’t live any longer. Turns out, once you’re over 70, a sly – not Sly – approach to exercise, by integrating it into your daily routine, is an effective way to protect your cardiovascular health and promote longevity.

Walk this way ... and that way When John Cleese high-stepped across the TV screen in a Monty Python sketch called “The Ministry of Silly Walks,” it seemed absurdly funny. But he just might have been onto something. A daily walking routine can get boring – and when you’re bored, it’s harder to stick to your workout schedule. Before exploring how to make daily walk-ercise more fun, here’s why you want to keep on walking the walk: It lowers lousy LDL cholesterol levels, helps control blood sugar, blood pressure and stress, and reduces your

Indoor herb gardens for better health and great taste treats Did you know Julia Roberts has an organic kitchen garden in the backyard of her Malibu home, and Nicole Kidman and husband Keith Urban are committed to growing organic vegetables for everyday cooking at their Nashville ranch? Now, you might not have a plot of land that you can turn into a veggie paradise, but even in winter, indoors, you can cultivate a wide range of edible herbs that will amp up your home cooking while they nurture your spirit and your body. Research shows having plants in the house promotes relaxation – the visual beauty is soothing – and lowers your heart rate, plus the greenery cranks out moisture needed to help decrease your risk of colds and sore throats when the heat is on. Flavor-packed fresh herbs also contain an array of protective polyphenols that have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects known to help fight heart disease, cognitive dysfunction and cancers. According to a study in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences, there is growing evidence that they also nurture a healthy gut biome, which influences immune system function.

ARTS IN BRIEF
Alyssa Swanson, “Material” Wednesday, Nov. 11, 6 p.m. Alyssa Swanson weaves the influences of her ancestors, family, and mentors into monochromatic abstract sculptures. Beginning with inexpensive acrylic yarns, bulk fabrics and discarded scraps, she embraces the modest materials used by her great-grandmother, great aunt, grandmother and mother. Yarn, thread, needles and crochet hooks construct alternate ways in which women throughout history have extended their voices.
Susanna Gaunt, “Integument” Performance installation piece Tuesday, Nov. 17, 12 p.m. Artist talk Wednesday, Nov. 18, 6 p.m. Duluth multi-media artist Susanna Gaunt presents new work investigating materials on a large scale. Manipulating sheets of white paper, she layers, weaves and shapes sculptures into textured forms suspended from the ceiling and mounted on the walls. Creases, peaks and valleys reflect light to create shadowed surfaces juxtaposed against translucent layers of mulberry paper treated with encaustic wax. This collection of forms invites viewers to examine their details, noting differences with curiosity and wonder.

Poem building In a previous column, I illustrated one of the difficulties in writing double dactyl poems: Getting the right sixsyllable name is important. I used Professor Hawking as an example of an illegal name. This problem is easily solved by adding his initial: Professor S. Hawking. This name is perfectly legal, and using it will keep me out of double dactyl jail if you people will just keep your mouths shut. Often, the first step in writing a double dactyl poem is to find a double dactyl word to build on. I found a great word in “eschatological,” having to do with the end times. Now who fits better with that word than an old fire and brimstone preacher? The answer depends on how you pronounce the word “reverend.” If you insist on pronouncing the
word with three syllables (rev-erend), you will have to say Reverend Robertson. If you pronounce it with two syllables (rev-rend) as I do, you can fully identify the subject: Reverend Pat Robertson. Then all we have to do is connect the subject with the word. First, we have to decide on the tone of the poem. If we want to make the theme general, we can say, for instance:
LIT
KEN JOHNSON
Sam Gabrielli Chief Meteorologist
Blustery, blathery Reverend Pat Robertson Fondly recalling his Tales of the Flood. Talking of things that are Eschatological Smelling of brimstone and Swimming in blood. Or, you can make it more personal:
Dan Hanger Anchor
Spitefully, whitefully Reverend Pat Robertson The thoughts he’s been thinking, The visions he’s seen! Dreaming of Hell and things Eschatological Saving a spot there for Joel Osteen. For finding appropriate double dactyl names, there is nothing like having a smattering of history to fall back on. The following poem is not mine, but it has been around for a while, so I’m going to assume it’s public domain: Mightely, knightely, William of Normandy Conquered King Harold with Bothersome tricks. Faked a retreat and then Premeditatedly Ambushed the English In 1066. A smattering of science also helps. The following poem (also not mine)
Alexandra Burnley Anchor
requires at least a passing acquaintance with a Mobius strip if you are going to visualize it: Shapery, papery August F. Mobius Watched an ecdysiac Bend at the hip. Twisting her body, she Soon was performing a Unidimentional One-sided strip. And finally, sometimes a little sideways thinking can get you past the most difficult problem: Fosserly, saucerly, Deviant aliens Keen to explore Homo Sapien guts, Let loose their legions of Astro-proctologists Greasing their fingers for Probing our butts.

Limbo: An Odd Novel Adam Herman is a multi-talented, Duluth-based singer, songwriter and novelist. He is hard at work on his next novel (working title “Villa Leila”) and his band, The Slamming Doors, is releasing an album in three parts, called Brown Bears. Volume 1 is available now and the rest is expected to be completed by year’s end. People were writing about the afterlife long before Dante. Since there is only one claim for a return as far as I know (and He was short on description) we are left to our imaginations. In Herman’s comic novel, Limbo, Hell and Purgatory are huge places with complicated floorplans and a convoluted bureaucracy. If you have Demons, you have to have Angels; it’s a package deal. In this world, the Demons are flammable and the Angels are kickass creatures. Within the background descriptions, I was pleased to find a few sly references to the work of Christopher Moore, one of my favorite authors. Sometimes, the floor plan gets difficult to follow with all the twists and turns. Some of the characters are treated extremely unfairly but seem to say, “It’s a fair cop” even when it isn’t.

Still, the story managed to hold my interest, and I look forward to reading that next novel. The book’s central character, Colin Lodestar, is killed by a Demon. In Limbo he is assigned a job as a Watcher, which is a sort of cut-rate guardian Angel, over a young man named Jack Charlton. He knows that there is a Pusher, a Devil’s helper, opposing him for control of Jack’s moral compass, so he has to stay on his toes. But there is an evil plot hatching (what other kinds of plot are there?) and Jack gets caught up in it, getting tossed into Hell. As his Watcher, Colin knows that Jack is being treated unfairly and feels obligated to find and save him. It’s an arduous journey. Along the way, Colin will encounter lots and lots of cats, a very sexy couch, and Divine Intervention in the form of a labradoodle. You can pick up a copy of Limbo on Amazon, at Zenith Bookstore, or write Adam at Adamherman12@ gmail.com.

A nearly forgotten Wilder film Five Graves to Cairo Kino, Blu-ray, $24.95
Billy Wilder’s second Hollywood movie as a director, Five Graves to Cairo (1943) doesn’t have the stellar reputation of a Double Indemnity, Sunset Boulevard or Some Like it Hot, but is an impressive accomplishment that deserves to be better known. Following his (U.S.) directorial debut, the popular The Major and the Minor (1942), Wilder briefly toyed with another comedy, but shelved that project, shrewdly seizing upon something completely different. In so doing, he avoided being typecast as a director of such films. Seeing these two films back-to-back, Five Graves making its Blu-ray debut soon after The Major and the Minor, one is left with the impression that Wilder was a writer-director capable of almost anything.
Indeed, Five Graves is unlike anything else Wilder ever made. It’s less like, say, his later Stalag 17 (1953) and closer to something like Zoltan Korda’s excellent and atypical war film, also set in North Africa, Sahara (1943). It also resembles a few other early wartime films like Casablanca (1942) in its extraordinary timeliness. While Wilder and frequent collaborator Charles Brackett were adapting Lajos Biro’s Hotel Imperial, already filmed twice before, the African Campaign was not going well for the Allies, yet like Casablanca before it by the time of its release the Allies had won out, and stories about such far-flung places were heavily covered in the American press. Wilder hoped to get Cary Grant for the lead but had to settle on mid-level name Franchot Tone, yet it’s probably for the best Wilder couldn’t acquire Grant’s services. All things being equal, it would have been impossible

for movie audiences to completely immerse themselves in Five Graves’ gripping story, as Grant’s scintillating screen persona would have been hard to shake off. Tone, arguably even slightly better an actor than Grant if far less commanding of the screen, has an everyman quality that accentuates his improbable hero character. Tone is Corporal John Bramble, the sole survivor of a British tank crew following the capture of Tobruk in June 1942. Exposed to poisonous exhaust fumes and lost in the desert, he barely makes it on foot to the North African
coastal town of Sidi Halfaya, a recently deserted British outpost. Delirious and suffering from exhaustion, he stumbles into the Empress of Britain, a hotel owned by Arab Farid (Akim Tamiroff). The only other person there is French chambermaid Mouche (Anne Baxter), who resents Bramble’s presence and Farid’s efforts to hide him once the Germans roll in. However, they’re able to convince Lt. Schwegler (Peter van Eyck) that Bramble is a club-footed waiter named Davos, killed the night before by German bombing, his body buried under rubble in the basement. Bramble seals the deception by not only wearing Davos’s waiter clothes, but also his heavy, custom-made clubfoot shoe. Soon after, no less than Field Marshal Erwin Rommel (Erich von Stroheim) turns up, and in a clever twist it turns out the real Davos had been a German spy, but as none of the Germans have met Davos face-to-face, he’s able to fool the Germans into revealing priceless strategic information. What’s Bramble to do? Assassinate Rommel? Escape with Rommel’s plans for his next assault? Will Mouche, anxious to free her brother from a German concentration camp, go along with Bramble’s plans? Wilder, of course, was most acclaimed for his razor-sharp comic

dialogue and rarely appreciated for considerable talents as a visual storyteller. Yet Five Graves opens brilliantly and entirely visually, with no dialogue at all. The tank chugs across the sand dunes, up and over crests, a lifeless body at the hatch eerily jerking forward and back. The entire sequence, up to Bramble near death upon arriving at the hotel, is a visual tour de force. Inside the hotel, Wilder and cinematographer John F. Seitz (Double Indemnity, Sunset Boulevard) keep the hotel in extreme low light, a sharp contrast to the deliberate heatsuggesting shimmer of the exteriors, brilliantly using the big, seedy hotel set, filming at interesting angles, sometimes through lattices and textures of material. In his insightful biography of Wilder, writer Ed Sikov only finds fault with Anne Baxter’s performance, particularly her allegedly overemphatic French accent, but I think she comes off well playing a character embittered by Allied Forces she feels deserted her family. Baxter had one of those strange careers where she started out promisingly, giving fine performances in films like Welles’s The Magnificent Ambersons (1942), but gradually her work became more stilted and unnatural. This was put to good effect in movies like All About Eve, where selfconsciousness was part of the character she played, while in other films, famously in The Ten Commandments, she was awful, unable to overcome or rise above that film’s ludicrous dialogue. In Five Graves though, her performance is almost exactly right. rn Peter van Eyck had occasionally sizable roles, perhaps most famously in The Wages of Fear (1953), but often was typecast as icy Nazis as here. Amusingly, Erich von Stroheim looks nothing like the real Rommel, but so dominates every scene he’s in Wilder confidently introduces him from a high angle looking down only at the back of his thick, sweaty neck: 1940s audiences recognized him with only that, and as Wilder himself commented, the back of von Stroheim’s neck was a better actor than most Hollywood stars. Licensed to Kino by Universal, keepers of the pre-1948 Paramount library, Five Graves to Cairo looks splendid, its richly textured 1.37:1 standard, black-and-white image derived from a new 4K master. It looks better than 35mm theatrical prints

The English DTS-HD (mono) audio is impressive for what it is, and optional English subtitles are provided on this Region “A” encoded disc. rn Extra features: A trailer for this and Wilder movies are included, but the real treat here is a new audio commentary by film historian Joseph McBride, who knew Wilder well and even visited the set of The Front Page (1974), one of his last films. As someone who’s done his share of commentary tracks, I can only marvel at McBride’s ability to at least appear to be speaking extemporaneously, yet from beginning to end his track is loaded with amusing anecdotes, insightful personal reminisces, historical context and, overall, scads of valuable, observant information. Kino’s commentaries vary widely but this one is well worth the listener’s time. Parting Thoughts: I’m not all that fond of Billy Wilder’s first Hollywood film as director, The Major and the Minor, but Five Graves to Cairo is just about perfect, and for its fine transfer and Joseph McBride’s fine audio commentary track, this is a DVD Talk Collector’s Series title.

Criterion issues top-notch release of David Lynch’s The Elephant Man
I forget if I’ve watched The Elephant Man, or maybe it’s because I’m more than familiar with people’s takeaways from it, whether it’s John Merrick, or the more familiar faces of British actors that are part of the ensemble, but any time you can get the words “David Lynch” and “Criterion Collection” together in one sentence, well that’s just something you’ve gotta do. Lynch cowrote the script and directed the film inspired by the life of Joseph Merrick, known in the film as John Merrick, born with horrible disfigurements which cause him to walk about town with a mask over his head and spend most of his life indoors, going out occasionally to make spare change in a carnival freak festival under the watchful eye of a tortuous mentor. He is discovered by Frederick Treves (Anthony Hopkins, Silence of the Lambs), who is struck by Merrick’s appearance and takes him into the hospital where he works, with the hopes of getting him acclimated to

civilized society while learning more about his illness. He finds that Merrick (John Hurt, Hellboy II) is a man who is quiet but is gentle and apparently wellread, and his humanity touches Treves as much as it does Carr Gomm (John Gielgud, Arthur), Treves’ supervisor and apparent hospital manager. They, and others, try to reciprocate humanity to Merrick over the course of the brief time they know him. Lynch’s reputation since this film seems to proceed him, but he has always had a sense of knowing the emotion to hit when it is softer and The Elephant Man is evidence of it. There is nothing else that the characters have to do really other than express decency, even love, despite having to overcome, well, the elephant in the room (I’m sorry, I swear). Everyone knows Merrick’s screaming “I am not an animal!” but the movie is perfectly crystallized when John goes to Frederick’s house for tea and meets his wife (Hannah Gordon, Made of Honor). She is reduced to tears as John talks about being neglected by his parents, and it is shattering. He did nothing wrong, and was punished for it. Mrs. Treves knows this and Gordon’s execution of the scene is heart wrenching. On the flip side, seeing Anne Bancroft (The Graduate) as Mrs. Kendal, a well-known London playwright, express nothing but acceptance to John is wonderful. Bancroft’s husband Mel Brooks is one of the film’s producers (yes, really!) and certainly her merits speak for themselves, and she could have easily treated her work in the film as a luxury but she is wonderful. Hurt’s performance as Merrick is also up to the task. Seeing him find Merrick’s voice as he gets back into proper living is compelling just as it is his physical work to deal with all the makeup involved (he likened it to moving like a corkscrew given Merrick’s physicial condition), and having him want some sense of normalcy for himself is beautiful and ultimately a touch haunting in a way, given how the film ends.
Mel Brooks and David Lynch seemed like unlikely collaborators in the making of The Elephant Man. Brooks’ wife, Anne Bancroft, landed a key role in the movie. The pair are seen here in a 2012 photo when the American Film Institute conferred Doctorate of Fine Arts degrees for their “contribution of distinction to the art of the moving image.” You get the sense that those who met Joseph Merrick may have felt the same way. The Elephant Man shows us that decency and humanity are still things of value in 2020, just as they may were when the film was made in 1980 or when Merrick was walking around late 19th century London. Lynch gives us beauty from horror and it is an accomplishment for someone in their first feature film and big studio production, and gave us a glimpse of that magic as well. For both narrative and history, the film remains special. The 2.35:1 widescreen restored transfer was supervised by Lynch, who also worked on new color correction for this as well. The clarity and detail look superb for a film about to enter its fifth decade, with stray hairs and facial pores and grain discernible during viewing, and detail within the prosthetics appearing better than expected. Black levels are steady throughout and present a film contrast, and overall Criterion (or Studiocanal in this case) has done a fantastic job.
The LCPM stereo track was also restored ahead of this release to reduce any dropouts or chirping, and as the accompanying booklet discusses, a 5.1 surround track just was not up to par for this. Dialogue is clear and well-balanced, the music is clear and the crowd noise for the play seems to have a level of immersion to it. The soundtrack goes stride for stride with the transfer, a nice technical effort all around. Extras: Probably as good a treatment that a Lynch film could provide that didn’t include a full-blown commentary track or some other goodie. Room to Dream (1:09:52) includes Lynch and Kristine McKenna, reading from their book of the same name, which is as I understand it a memoir/retelling of sorts. Anyway, this particular part of it covers the film, where Lynch was at that point and the like. A series of interviews follow, the first of which is a 2009 piece with Hurt (20:04) where he talks about why he did the film, improvising and rehearsing for this one, and working with Hopkins and Gielgud, and doing
Heaven’s Gate at the same time as this. He talks about how Lynch worked, and on the reception of the film and any souvenirs he kept from it. Next is a 2019 segment with Frank Connor (25:18), who served as stills photographer on the film, and he talks about his backstory a bit, and shares his thoughts on the crew Lynch put together. He covers the choices made and challenges involved, and shares some production anecdotes, all the while with some of his work interspersed throughout. Following that is a 2018 interview with producer Jonathan Sanger (24:27) at a BFI Q&A session that sounds like a posthumous appreciation of Hurt’s work. Anyway, he talks about the story and getting Brooks and Lynch aboard, securing Merrick’s bones for the prosthetics used in the film and Hurt’s vocals in it, which remain intact. Lynch appears in a 2009 interview (24:40) where he covers some of the same ground that he did at Room, and talks about meeting Brooks, and talks about working in London and with the crew, along with the evolution of filming and the legacy of this particular film. Next are some archival material, starting with Lynch at AFI in 1981 (50:45) with things a little more fresh in the mind about the film and on film. The Terrible Elephant Man Revealed (30:11) is a 2001-produced look at the film, with interviews from Brooks and Sanger on getting the film made, and the impressions of the cast and crew on the story and on each other, and the challenge of getting the makeup done. It’s a retrospective featurette, nothing jaw-dropping here. Joseph Merrick: The Real Elephant Man (19:50) is a look at Merrick that was made in 2005, and discusses the differences between Merrick’s life and the film, how the film influenced Jonathan Evans, the historian in the film, and includes some other trivia about Merrick. A 2006 interview with Lynch, conducted by Mike Figgis follows (19:51) that is a little stylistic and adapting a story to film is interesting. Clapper Board features a 1980 interview with Hurt (11:42) on the story, and on acting in general, while Skintricks is a 1988 piece with Hurt and makeup artist Christopher Tucker on the process for and inspiration behind the

Quote of the week “Remember the 5th of November.” John Lennon added that line to the outro of his song “Remember” on the 1970 album John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band. He refers to the English national holiday on Nov. 5, known as Guy Fawkes Day, when most communities have a huge bonfire and burn Catholic revolutionary Guy Fawkes in effigy. Lennon was possibly suggesting emulating Fawkes’ protest rather than participating in the modern holiday that resulted from Fawkes’ failed attempt to blow up Parliament in the Gunpowder Plot of 1605. Below is a contemporary engraving of the conspirators, with Fawkes – identified here as Guido – third from the right.
