Idaho – a state with a Trumpsupporting Republican governor who believed Trump and ignored the early COVID warnings. A state where some of the richer people in California fled from the early infections in their home areas, to their mansions on the ski slopes of southern Idaho,

overwhelming the tiny hospital in that town when they brought the virus with them. The northern part of Idaho was spared – for a while.

At the time my friend moved, the pandemic was not on the radar. I learned earlier today that she’s been exposed to the virus – at a local humane shelter. As I wrote to her, too many people in Idaho want to see themselves as “independent,” so you just can’t trust anyone there to know if they’re infected or not. So many people with an “independent” attitude, assume they’re not going to be infected, and then, they believe their assumption, rather than the scientific evidence. As I told my friend, rather than looking at, and checking out the first assumption, it’s always that second assumption that bites them in the butt.

And now, because she assumed she was safe at the shelter, and didn’t wear a mask, it’s bitten her as well. I would hope that people like this, wise up, and start believing the fact that the virus is not going away any time soon, and start taking the necessary precautions.

Their health, and mine, and my friend’s health, depends on it. I’ll let you know if this has a happy ending.

Gary Burt Marble, Minnesota Medical and moral problems We have a medical problem and a moral problem. They do overlap in strange ways. The medical problem is very evasive and hasn’t been pinned down yet. It has elements of the grim reaper. The moral problem is more obvious and historical. It encompasses a change in attitude, and acknowledgement of the past. Curtis Mayfield sang, “People get ready!”

THINK

Love and happiness?

Graffiti in an urban setting is an understandable form of expression, but when this most primitive form of human communication is practiced on rocks in public parks, you have to wonder at the sheer audacity of the artist to proclaim himself or INTELLIGENCE herself in by such a public manner on edifices that have an austere and stately grandeur that is innocent of human concerns. Our simple human problems will be long gone while those rocks continue to stand up to time.

For someone to deface those rocks with mere mortal thoughts is a comment on our human superiority complex, but rock beats human flesh every time.

Perhaps most audacious of all rock artists are those who proclaim their love, implying with their rock desecration that their love will stand the test of time and is worthy of being declared in such a manner.

Well M and K, has the love you proclaimed on a rock at Brighton Beach a year ago stood the test of time?

Or is this a case of wishful thinking on the part of M or K? Enquiring minds want to know.

If M and/or K will contact The Reader and let us know how things are going in the romance department, we promise not to reveal their true identities, just in case the city’s Rock Defacing Dept. would like to punish them.

He was reported Missing In Action when his unit’s position along the

Cpl. Francis Joseph Rochon Naktong River near Changyong, Korea, was overrun by forces of the North Korean People’s Army. Cpl. Rochon was never reported to be a prisoner of war. He and his unit had been in Korea for less than a month when he went missing.

On July 9 of this year, the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) announced that Rochon had been accounted for on June 18.

After being reported missing in action on Sept. 1, 1950, the Army officially declared him dead on Dec. 31, 1953, and declared his remains non-recoverable Jan. 16, 1956.

In January 1951, the American Graves Registration Service Group consolidated the remains from 12 smaller military cemeteries at the newly established United Nations Military Cemetery in Tanggok, South Korea, including one set of remains designated X-175 Tanggok, which had been recovered from the area where Rochon was last seen.

In 1956, the remains, including X-175 Tanggok, were unable to be identified, and then transported to the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific, also known as the Punchbowl, in Honolulu, where they were buried as Unknowns. DPAA historians and analysts were able to determine that

others buried in the same original, small cemetery as X-175 Tanggok had been lost in the same area as Rochon, and put forth his name as a possible match. The family of another soldier lost during the same battle as Rochon also put in a request to have X-175 Tanggok and one other Unknown disinterred in hopes one of them would be their loved one.

On Nov. 5, 2018, X-175 Tanggok was disinterred and sent to the DPAA Laboratory at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.

To identify Rochon’s remains, scientists from DPAA used anthropological analysis, as well as circumstantial evidence. Additionally, scientists from the Armed Forces Medical Examiner System used mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) analysis.

Rochon’s name is recorded on the Courts of the Missing at the Punchbowl, along with the others who are still missing from the Korean War. A rosette will be placed next to his name to indicate he has been accounted for.

Rochon will be buried Saturday, July 25, in Foxboro, Wisconsin. He was born April 4, 1929, in Superior, the son of Francis M. and Mary (Prohuska) Rochon.

Survivors include his sisters, Patricia Winter, Superior, Marian (George) Klein, Superior, and Margaret (Harry) Rasmussen, Minong; and several nieces, nephews and cousins.

Visitation will be from 10 until the 11 a.m. service, Saturday, July 25, 2020 at Downs Funeral Home, 1617 N. 19th Street, Superior.

Burial with military honors will be at the Summit Cemetery, Foxboro.

Should friends desire, memorials may be made to the donor’s choice. *** With the mandatory mask order, the first instinct is to be a wiseass about it.

How about a rictus grin mask, as

popularized by Batman nemesis The Joker, but stolen from Conrad Veidt (pictured), who starred in the 1928 German Expressionist film The Man Who Laughs, remade in 1961 by schlockmeister William Castle as Mr. Sardonicus?

Perhaps a mask with a giant silicon butt-chin ala Dudley DoRight?

A cigar or cigarette constantly dangling from the mask lips?

Duck bill?

Pig snout?

Hitler moustache?

So many options to offend. I’ve only scratched the surface here.

Or maybe I’ll knit my facial orifices together with colorful yarns when I venture into the great unwashed public. It’ll become huge, bigger than tattoos and piercings. Everyone will want their facial orifices yarned up.

It’s never easy being a trendsetter.

kitchen and dining room areas is for the enjoyment of the cook.

With the combined open area, the cook can be a part of the activities of the guests or family members.

Remember how your mother likely was tucked away in a kitchen and really only mingled with your guests after the dinner was served.

There are several simple design methods to create a separate dining

area without erecting walls.

One method is to change the flooring material between the kitchen and dining areas. This is often enough of a change to indicate the two areas are designated for different uses.

Using hardwood floors lends itself well to accomplishing the change in the flooring appearance.

If your budget is tight, laminate

floor can be used in the same way. The colors do not have to be significantly different. Often, just a change in the pattern is adequate to distinguish the two areas.

Installing flooring with a decorative border in one of the rooms also helps.

Another option is installing a ceiling alcove. This is a relatively inexpensive design feature, and it can enhance the appearance of both rooms. It also provides a good location to add some recessed lighting.

Different lighting levels in the two areas can also indicate they are for different purposes. Install separate wall controls for the lights shining into each room so the intensity can be varied. The dining area is generally not lighted as brightly as the kitchen.

If you are planning to add a fireplace, gas or wood-burning, to your home, install it between the kitchen and dining areas. Install a relatively small one so there is plenty room to walk and see around either side of it.

Smaller fireplaces are also less

expensive. If you install a gas fireplace, consider a see-through, two-sided model.

A final design option is a half-wall with slats between the two areas. When sitting in a chair, it should be about head height.

From a distance, it is easy to see activity through the slats. When sitting in the chairs along the half-wall and looking across the slats along the length of the wall, it provides a sense of privacy.

‘Get in good trouble’

RIP to civil rights leader John Lewis As the United States mourns the loss of civil rights icon and 17term Democratic Congressmember John Lewis, we feature his 2012 instudio interview, when he tears up remembering the historic 1965 Selma to Montgomery march he helped lead in 1965 as a 25-year-old man, when he was almost beaten to death by police in what came to be called “Bloody Sunday” and helped push the country toward adopting the Voting Rights Act. “They came toward us, beating us with nightsticks and bullwhips, trampling us with horses,” he told Democracy Now! “All these many years later, I don’t recall how I made it back across that bridge to the church.”

DEMOCRACY

NOW!

AMY GOODMAN

AMY GOODMAN: The nation is mourning the loss of civil rights icon, 17-term Democratic Congressmember John Lewis, whose legacy of freedom fighting and justice seeking stretched from the Jim Crow era to the Black Lives Matter movement. Lewis died Friday at the age of 80. He was diagnosed in December with pancreatic cancer.

John Lewis was born in Alabama to sharecroppers. He went on to become the youngest of the so-called Big Six who addressed the 1963 March on Washington, was ultimately elected in 1986 to be the congressional representative for his home state of Georgia, a post he never left.

During the civil rights movement, Lewis marched side by side with Dr. Martin Luther King, helped found and served as chair of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, and helped organize the Freedom Rides. He was arrested more than 40 times protesting segregation.

As a mentor to those who followed in his footsteps, Lewis was known for encouraging them to, quote, “get in good trouble, necessary trouble.”

In an interview last month, Lewis said the video of George Floyd’s death

10 July 16, 2020 DuluthReader.com

Twenty-five-year-old John Lewis before the violence started on “Bloody Sunday” – the March 7, 1965, march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama. He was clubbd in the head by an Alabama state trooper. at the hands of Minneapolis police was, quote, “so painful, it made me cry,” he said, and that he was inspired by how it had sparked a new movement to end racial injustice.

Congressmember Lewis made his final public appearance in June at the street near the White House that’s now named Black Lives Matter Plaza, where the words “Black Lives Matter” are painted in 35-foot yellow letters.

Former President Barack Obama said Saturday he hugged Lewis at his inauguration in 2009 and, quote, “told him I was only there because of the sacrifices he made.”

Meanwhile, President Trump waited more than 14 hours to tweet, after he had tweeted some 40 times, that he was, quote, “saddened” by Lewis’s death.

Flags have been lowered to halfstaff at the Capitol and the White House, and in Atlanta, where Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms ordered the flags

lowered to half-staff indefinitely.

We bring you an extended excerpt of my interview in 2012 with Congressmember John Lewis. He walked into our studio alone here in New York City, after the release of his book, Across That Bridge: Life Lessons and a Vision for Change.

I began asking Congressmember Lewis about the Selma to Montgomery march he helped lead in 1965 as a 25-year-old man, when he was almost beaten to death by police in what came to be called “Bloody Sunday.”

REP. JOHN LEWIS: On March 7, 1965, a group of us attempted to march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama, to dramatize to the nation that people wanted to register to vote. One young African American man had been shot and killed a few days earlier, in an adjoining county called Perry County – this is in the Black Belt of Alabama – the home county of Mrs. Martin Luther King Jr., the home county of Mrs.

Rep. John Lewis, Feb. 21, 1940 - July 17, 2020.

Ralph Abernathy, the home county of Mrs. Andrew Young. And because of what happened to him, we made a decision to march.

In Selma, Alabama, in 1965, only 2.1% of Blacks of voting age were registered to vote. The only place you could attempt to register was to go down to the courthouse. You had to pass a so-called literacy test. And they would tell people over and over again that they didn’t or couldn’t pass the literacy test.

On one occasion, a man was asked to count the number of bubbles on a bar of soap. On another occasion, a man was asked to count the number of jellybeans in a jar.

There were African American lawyers, doctors, teachers, housewives, college professors flunking this socalled literacy test. And we had to change that, so we sought to march.

And we got to the top of the bridge.

We saw a sea of blue – Alabama state troopers – and we continued to walk.

We came within hearing distance of the state troopers. And a man identified himself and said, “I’m Major John Cloud of the Alabama state troopers. This is an unlawful march.

It will not be allowed to continue. I give you three minutes to disperse and return to your church.”

And one of the young people walking with me, leading the march, a man by the name of Hosea Williams, who was on the staff of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., said, “Major, give us a moment to kneel and pray.”

And the major said, “Troopers, advance!” And you saw these guys putting on their gas masks. They came toward us, beating us with nightsticks and bullwhips, trampling us with horses.

I was hit in the head by a state trooper with a nightstick. I had a concussion at the bridge. My legs went out from under me. I felt like I was going to die. I thought I saw Death.

All these many years later, I don’t recall how I made it back across that bridge to the church. But after I got back to the church, the church was full to capacity, more than 2,000 people on the outside trying to get in to protest what had happened on the bridge. And someone asked me to say something to the audience. And I stood up and said something like: “I don’t understand it, how President Johnson can send troops to Vietnam but cannot send troops to Selma, Alabama, to protect people whose only desire is to register to vote.”

The next thing I knew, I had been admitted to the local hospital in Selma.

AMY GOODMAN: Explain that

DuluthReader.com

moment where you decided to move forward, because I don’t think the history we learn records those small acts that are actually gargantuan acts of bravery. Talk about – I mean, you saw the weapons the police arrayed against you. What propelled you forward, Congressmember Lewis?

LEWIS: Well, my mother, my father, my grandparents, my uncles and aunts, and people all around me had never registered to vote. I had been working all across the South. The state of Mississippi had a Black voting age population of more than 450,000, and only about 16,000 were registered to vote.

On that day, we didn’t have a choice.

I think we had been tracked down by what I call the spirit of history, and we couldn’t – we couldn’t turn back.

We had to go forward. We became like trees planted by the rivers of water. We were anchored.

And I thought we would die. I first thought we would be arrested and go to jail, but I thought it was a real possibility that some of us would die on that bridge that day, after the confrontation occurred. I thought it was the last protest for me. But somehow and someway, you have to keep going. You go to a hospital, you go to a doctor’s office, you get mended, and you get up and try it again.

GOODMAN: So what was the next act you engaged in?

LEWIS: Well, we continued to organize, continued to try to get people registered. We went to federal court, testified, to get an injunction against Governor George Wallace and the Alabama state troopers. And the federal court said that we had a right to march from Selma to Montgomery.

President Johnson spoke to the nation and condemned the violence in Selma, introduced the Voting Rights Act. And that night, he made one of the most meaningful speeches that any American president had made in modern times on the whole question of civil rights and voting rights. He condemned the violence over and over again, and near the end of the speech he said, “And we shall overcome. We shall overcome.” We call it the “We Shall Overcome” speech.

I was sitting next to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. as we listened to President Johnson. I looked at Dr. King.

Tears came down his face. He started crying. And we all cried a little when we heard the president saying, “We shall overcome.”

And Dr. King said, “We will make it from Selma to Montgomery, and the Voting Rights Act will be passed.” Two weeks later, more than 10,000 of us,

people from all over America, started walking from Selma to Montgomery.

And by the time we made it to Montgomery five days later, there were almost 30,000 Black and white citizens – Protestant, Catholic, Jewish, men, women, young people. It was like a holy march. And the Congress debated the act, passed it, and on August 6, 1965, President Lyndon Johnson signed it into law.

GOODMAN: Congressmember Lewis also talked about taking part in the Freedom Rides, and one in particular in Rock Hill, South Carolina, on May 9, 1961. What were you doing there?

LEWIS: We were testing the facilities – the lunch counters, the waiting room, the restroom facility. During those days, the stations were marked “white waiting,” “colored waiting,” “white men,” “colored men,” “white women,” “colored women.” And we were following a decision of the United States Supreme Court banning discrimination – or segregation in intrastate travel. And when we started to enter the so-called white waiting room, we were attacked by a group of young white men, beaten and left in a pool of blood. The local police officials came up and wanted to know whether

we wanted to press charges. We said, “No, we believe in peace. We believe in love and nonviolence.”

Years later – to be exact, 48 years later – Mr. Wilson and his son came to my office in Washington and said, “Mr. Lewis, I’m one of the people that beat you. Will you forgive me? I apologize.”

His son had been encouraging his father to do this. His son started crying.

Mr. Wilson started crying. He hugged me. His son hugged me. I hugged them both back. Then all three of us stood there crying. That’s what the movement was about, to be reconciled.

GOODMAN: When we hear about voting rights today, we don’t hear about these struggles that you and so many others that you led went through 50 years ago.

LEWIS: That’s why it is so important for people to understand, to know that people suffered, struggled. Some people bled, and some died, for the right to participate. You know, the vote is the most powerful nonviolent tool that we have in a democratic society. It’s precious. It’s almost sacred. We have to use it. If not, we will lose it.

GOODMAN: A few years after that, two years after you had your head slammed in and so many others were

beaten in Montgomery, was the 1963 March on Washington. Dr. King spoke, and you also spoke....That remarkable speech that you gave on Aug. 28th, 1963. You were the youngest speaker at the March on Washington. You spoke before Dr. King.

LEWIS: I spoke number six. Dr. King was the last speaker. He spoke number 10. That day, when A. Philip Randolph introduced me, and he said, “And I present to you, young John Lewis, national chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee,” I looked to my right, I saw many other young people sort of cheering me on; looked to my left, and I saw young people up in the trees trying to get a better view of the crowd; then I looked straight ahead, and I said to myself, “This is it. I must do my best.” And that’s what I tried to do.

When I was working on the speech, I was reading a copy of The New York Times, and I saw a group of Black women in southern Africa carrying signs saying, “One Man, One Vote.” So in my March on Washington speech, I said, “‘One man, one vote’ is the African cry; it is ours, too. It must be ours.” And that became the rallying cry for many other young people in the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee.

GOODMAN: And yet, you had to change that speech that you gave on that day.

LEWIS: I was asked to change the speech. Some people thought the speech was too radical, too militant.

I thought it was a speech for the occasion. It represented the people that we were working with. Some people didn’t like the use of the word “revolution” or the use of the phrase “Black masses.”

A. Philip Randolph came to my rescue and said, “There’s not anything wrong with the use of ‘revolution.’ I use it myself sometimes. There’s not anything with ‘Black masses.’” So we kept that part in the speech. But near the end of the speech, I said something like, “If we do not see meaningful progress here today, the day may come when we will be forced to march through the South the way Sherman did – nonviolently.” And people thought we couldn’t make a reference to Sherman, and so we deleted that.

GOODMAN: John Lewis, you also said a part that didn’t get included was: “In good conscience, we cannot support the administration’s civil rights bill, for it’s too little, too late.

There’s not one thing in the bill that will protect our people from police brutality.”

LEWIS: I thought, and I believe,

12 July 16, 2020 DuluthReader.com

that the proposed civil rights bill was not enough. President Kennedy took the position that if a person had a sixth grade education, that person should be considered literate and should able to register to vote.

Those of us in the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee took the position that the only qualification for being able to register to vote in America should be that of age and residency, nothing more or anything less. We wanted a much stronger bill.

But the whole idea of the march was not to support a particular piece of legislation. It was a march for jobs and freedom. It was a coalition of conscience to say to the Congress and say to the president of the United States, “You must act.” We didn’t think that the proposed bill was commensurate to all of the suffering, to the beatings, to the jailing, to the killing that had occurred in the South.

GOODMAN: After the Civil Rights and the Voting Rights Act were signed, Dr. King increasingly started speaking out against the Vietnam War – his inner circle saying, “Don’t give that speech at Riverside Church,” April 4th, 1967, a year to the day before he was assassinated in Memphis, the “Why I Oppose the War in Vietnam” speech.

“You’ve got the president of the United States behind you. You got him to sign the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Act,” they said to Dr. King. “Don’t take him on in a war that is not ours.” Yet he defied them and said it is. Were you a part of that circle? What position did you take, John Lewis?

LEWIS: I supported the position of Martin Luther King Jr. As chair of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, during that time, we had already taken a position against the war in Vietnam. So many of the young people in SNCC, so many of the young people that we were working with all across the South were being drafted and going off to Vietnam, so we came out against the war in January 1966.

But I was there at Riverside Church on the night of April 4th, 1967, when he spoke. And I think that speech is one of the greatest speeches.

A lot of people speak about the March on Washington. It was a wonderful speech. But the speech against the war in Vietnam, Dr. King – he said, “I’m not going to segregate my conscience. If I’m against violence at home, I’m against violence abroad.”

And he went on to say that America was the greatest purveyor of violence in the world. He was – he was a preacher. He was a prophet.

GOODMAN: Do you agree with

him?

LEWIS: I agree with him.

GOODMAN: That the U.S. is the greatest purveyor of violence.

JOHN LEWIS: We have more – we spend hundreds and thousand, millions and billions of dollars on weaponry. We’re supplying the world.

We sell arms to everybody. Dr. King was saying that we have to put an end to this madness. He was influenced

by Gandhi, and Gandhi said it’s nonviolence or nonexistence.

Dr. King went on to say, “We must learn to live together as brothers and sisters, or we will perish as fools.” He was saying, in effect, that we have enough bombs and missiles and guns to destroy the planet. He said it then, and it’s still true today.

GOODMAN: How did you decide to go from activist, real street-fighting activist – you, yourself, weren’t physically fighting, but you were being fought by the police every step of the way – to a congressmember? Talk about the moment you made that decision and the year you did. How old were you?

LEWIS: I made the decision after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert Kennedy. I was with Robert Kennedy in Indianapolis, Indiana, on the evening of April 4, 1968, when I heard that Dr. King had been shot. I didn’t know his condition until Robert Kennedy spoke at a rally that I was having to organize and said that Dr. King had been assassinated.

I cried, with so many other people.

And I said to myself, “We still have Bobby.” I went back to Atlanta, attended the funeral with Robert Kennedy and hundreds and thousands of others. After the funeral was over, I got back in the Kennedy campaign, went to Oregon and later to California.

I campaigned for Bobby Kennedy with César Chávez. It was a wonderful effort. We went all over Los Angeles, going into wealthy neighborhoods, knocking on doors, urging people to vote for Bobby.

And that evening the primary was over, Bobby Kennedy came up to me and said, “John, I’m going downstairs to make my victory statement. Why don’t you remain?” I was in his suite with his sister, several other individuals, the brother of Medgar Evers. And we listened to Bobby, and he said, “On to Chicago.” And moments, minutes later, it was announced that he had been shot.

Dropped to the floor and cried and cried. I just wanted to get out of L.A. I got on a flight the next morning, flew to Atlanta, and I think I cried all the way from L.A. to Atlanta. And I

came back to New York for the funeral.

And before the funeral, I stood the night before as an honor guard with Reverend Ralph Abernathy. Then I rode the funeral train. The family asked me to ride with them from New York to Washington. And someplace along the way, I felt that somehow, in some way, I had to try to pick up where Dr. King and Robert Kennedy left off.

These were my friends. These were my heroes. These were two young men that had inspired me. And some of my friends started encouraging me to get involved in electoral politics, do more than just register people, that I should run for office. And I made a decision years later to do it.

GOODMAN: Finally, at the end of Across That Bridge, your new book, you write, “Just as Gandhi made it easier for King and King made it easier for Poland and Poland [made it easier] for Ireland [and] Ireland [made it easier] for Serbia [and] Serbia made it easier for the Arab Spring, [and] the Arab Spring made it easier for [the protests in] Wisconsin [and] Occupy…” Talk about these connections.

JOHN LEWIS: I believe there is something in human history – I call it the spirit of history. It’s like a spring, a stream, that continue to move. And individuals and forces come along that become symbols of what is good, what is right and what is fair. And that’s why I wrote this little book, to say to people that you, too, can allow yourself to be used by the spirit of history. Just find a way to get in the way. When I was growing up, my mother and father, my grandparents and great-grandparents were always telling me, “Don’t get in trouble. Don’t get in the way.” But I was inspired by Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks and others to get in the way, to get in trouble – good trouble, necessary trouble. And we all must find a way to have the courage to get in trouble, to do our part. Every generation must find a way to leave the planet, leave this little spaceship, Earth, this little piece of real estate, a little better than we found it – a little cleaner, a little greener and a little more peaceful. I think that’s our calling. We have a mission, a mandate and a moral obligation to do just that.

Ruminations on Southern ‘heritage’ “The less there is to justify a traditional custom, the harder it is to get rid of it” Mark Twain,The Adventures of Tom Sawyer Long overdue progress is finally being made on removing a number of the racist symbols and monuments across the country. The public outrage over the latest excessive use of force by police, and the resulting demonstrations, have brought renewed focus to the issue of racist, demeaning sports team mascots, and the wide-spread monuments to Confederate Civil War “heroes” and slave owners.

Needless to say the racists, white supremacists, and far-right radicals are upset that their “heritage” is being destroyed and history is being rewritten to eliminate their heroes.

The current occupant has joined the choir claiming that “angry mobs” directed by radical leftists are “trying to tear down statues of our Founders, deface our most sacred memorials, and unleash a wave of violent crime in our cities.”

But it is not unreasonable, or radical, to suggest that slave owners – who fought a war of rebellion against the United States to preserve slavery – might not be the “heroes” who should be honored in our town squares or on the court house lawn.

Many concerned citizens – white, black, liberal, and conservative – understand that theses symbols are rooted in the racism that divides our people and mocks our founding ideals. They are simply demanding that we finally, publicly renounce the racism that has permeated our laws, justice system, and social relationships throughout our history.

In a 2019 report the Southern Poverty Law Center noted that 100 monuments and other symbols of the Confederacy have recently been removed.

But there are still 1,747 Confederate monuments, place names, and other symbols still in public spaces cross the nation. They include: • 780 monuments and statues • 103 public K-12 schools and three

colleges named for Robert E. Lee, Jefferson Davis or other Confederate icons • 80 counties and cities named for Confederates • 9 observed state holidays in five states • 10 U.S. military bases named for Confederate generals.

These do not include monuments in actual historic sites, cemeteries, or museums with legitimate historic purpose.

Critics may say removing these symbols is “erasing history.” But the argument that the Confederate flag and statues represent Southern heritage, and not hate, ignores the real history.

These symbols were created to bolster white supremacist pride, re-write southern history, justify seven decades of Jim Crow, and support the denial of civil rights to Black Americans.

This is proven by the historical fact that the overwhelming majority of these Confederate memorials were erected during the 20th century.

This was during the peak of the Jim Crow era with its widespread terrorism and lynchings. They were not built just to commemorate fallen soldiers but as symbols of white supremacy during periods of U.S. history when Black Americans’ civil rights were most aggressively under attack.

The report by the Southern Poverty Law Center shows the big spike in establishing Confederate memorials came during the early 1900s. This was when Southern states enacted a number of sweeping laws to disenfranchise Black Americans and seg-

regate society. It was an organized strategy to reshape Civil War history and justify segregation.

Jane Dailey, professor of American history at the University of Chicago, points out that 1920-40 was the largest period of monument construction.

It was also a time of Black activism for civil rights and pushing back against widespread lynchings in the South.

She says, “You have Black soldiers who have just fought for their country [in World War I] and fought to make the world safe for democracy, coming back to an America that’s determined to lynch them...Those were very clearly white supremacist monuments and are designed to intimidate, not just memorialize.”

Further proof is that re-naming of schools happened after the 1954 Brown vs the Board of Education Supreme Court decision that desegregated public schools.

From 1954 to 1970, at least 45 colleges and schools were re-named after Confederate soldiers and generals.

This time period also saw an explosion “white flight” from public schools with the creation of segregated private and religious schools.

These actions were not about celebrating Southern heritage. These changes were meant to promote white supremacy and further segregation even though it had been declared illegal.

The question is who’s heritage is being remembered. It is certainly NOT the history of the mistreatment of Blacks.

Lecia Brooks of the Southern Poverty Law Center asks, “Who have we left out of history? What history aren’t

we telling through the veneration of Confederate leaders?”

History is not being “erased.” It is being taught more fully and more accurately.

We will know who Robert E. Lee, Jefferson Davis, and other Confederate leaders were and what they did.

But we also know about the many people who died and suffered for white prosperity and their “way of life.”

The far more dangerous threat to history is ignoring what actually happened to Blacks, indigenous peoples, immigrants, women and other marginalized people.

Karen Armstrong is a British author who writes about the roll of religion in modern society. In her book Twelve Steps to a Compassionate Life, she says, “We can either emphasize those aspects of our traditions, religious or secular, that speak of hatred, exclusion, and suspicion or work with those that stress the interdependence and equality of all human beings. The choice is yours.”

Professor Annette Gordon-Reed who teaches American History and Legal History at Harvard Law School says, “The United States was far from perfect, but the values of the Confederacy, open and unrepentant white supremacy and total disregard for the humanity of black people, to the extent they still exist, have produced tragedy and discord. There is no path to a peaceful and prosperous country without challenging and rejecting that as a basis for our society.”

We all have a patriotic duty to reject the racism ingrained in our society.

We must end the traditions that foster hate, division, and exclusion. It is time to take down the symbols of racism.

Hot dogs

Dear Readers: How hot is the pavement on a summer’s day? You probably don’t know, because you’ve got shoes on! But our dogs don’t, and it can get blazing hot on the sidewalk and asphalt.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (peta.org) has some hints for walking your dog in the summer: • Heatsoaked sidewalks and driveways can burn feet.

If it’s 87 degrees outside, asphalt, driveways and roads can reach 140 degrees or hotter. This will burn the pads of a dog’s feet after only one minute.

• Hot pavement can also reflect heat upward onto the dog’s body, raising the risk of deadly heat stroke.

• Touch the pavement with your hand. If it’s too hot to touch, your dog cannot walk on it.

HINTS FROM HELOISE HELOISE

• Walk first thing in the morning, later in the evening, on grass or in shady areas.

• Carry water with you and take a lot of rest breaks.

• NEVER muzzle a dog that is walking in the heat of the day. – Heloise P.S.: Remember PETA’s mantra: Hot streets can burn dogs’ feet!

Dear Readers: Cats are sweet, fun, clean and generally easy pets to have and care for. Here are some cat facts for all of my cat lovers out there: • Their whiskers, which are beautiful and majestic, are used as sensors to navigate tight spaces and to feel the direction of the wind to determine the source of odors. NEVER trim whiskers.

• To discourage bad behavior such as scratching and marking, place some coins in an aluminum can and tape it shut. When your cat does something naughty, give the can a firm shake.

• Toys don’t have to be a major expense. Cats will play with just about anything, so get creative. Some of my favorite cat toys are ping-pong balls, bathroom tissue cores and a wad of paper. One thing you should avoid is a ball of yarn. Kitty could get tangled in it or ingest it.

• Catnip? Some cats love it; some don’t. It’s not harmful. Keep catnip away from kittens and small children.

Shark feasts How did sharks know middle passage route of slave ships?

Because they ate a lot of living and dead naked Africans for 350 years who either jumped off slave ships or were dumped off dead.

That’s not fake history, folks, but in a white supremacist country, that’s the kind of history we are not taught.

During those years an estimated 12.5 million blacks from Africa were loaded on slave ships that used the “Middle Passage” trade winds of the Atlantic to bring them to slave markets in South America, the Caribbean islands, and dozens of ports in the United States.

On boarding the slave ship in chains, the cargo was stripped naked and examined by the captain and someone acting as “surgeon.”

All of the naked men were

taken below decks to cargo holds, sometimes only 3.5 feet high, and secured by leg irons. The naked women and children were often imprisoned in holds below the main deck or on deck, because they were considered less valuable.

In good weather the naked men were brought to the main deck to exercise. Naked men were often so packed in they had to rest between the legs of other captives where they ate, defecated, urinated and vomited during storms.

In many ships they could not lie down. Conditions were absolutely appalling, made worse by fevers, dysentery, sea sickness, and diseases such as smallpox. The average trip took six weeks.

The captives were fed molasses and mush combinations twice a day.

THE GADFLY

ED RAYMOND

They had a large swallow of water in the morning and one in the afternoon.

They could drink all of the rainwater they were exposed to.

In the early days of the slave trade one in five captives died aboard ship.

The bodies of the dead each day were tossed over the side.

The conditions were so terrible captives brought to the deck for exercise often chose to leap over the side to the sharks. The sharks quickly recognized the easy meals and often followed ships to ports.

Some countries finally passed laws improving conditions aboard so that near the end of the slave trade the death rate was lowered to one out of 18.

The English slave ship Brookes carried as many as 609 captives to the New World in one trip..Later, it was limited by law to 454. Capacity was often figured by weight!

Historians have estimated that more than two million African captives died at sea. It’s estimated that 307,000 reached our shores alive. This is real history everyone should be taught in school.

54 Confederate monuments removed; more than 700 to go After the slave states were defeated on the battlefield, the South still dominated blacks and whites by passing hundreds of Jim Crow laws that even penetrated most Northern states.

Corky and I lived in D.C., Virginia and North Carolina for three years while I served in the Marine Corps, the years 1950-57.

We experienced Jim Crow laws firsthand.

During the Jim Crow century about 800 monuments and 10 military bases “honored” Confederate Army officers. During our RVing days we visited hundreds of historic sites, including many battlefields, museums and Civil War military prisons such as Andersonville. These sites of the defeated were everywhere.

After World War II the Allies, the winners, insisted on this order: “We declare illegal any monument, memorial, poster, statue, edifice, street or highway name marker, emblem, tablet, or insignia which tends to preserve and keep alive the German military tradition, to revive militarism or to commemorate the Nazi Party.”

The denazification of Germany started immediately. A tweet by a historian reminds us that no statues of Hitler exist in Germany.

Trying to imagine a version of WW II where the Nazis get pushed into Bavaria and surrender, but keep the swastika on the state flag, slap it on their cars and say stuff like “The Third Reich is my heritage” just doesn’t happen. Section 86a of the German criminal code is still in force.

Of course, there are Nazis left in Germany, but they don’t dare carry torches and worship swastikas.

Which monuments and statues should come down?

I have changed my mind. I used to think that we would be revising too much history if we destroyed Confederate monuments.

Blacks have convinced me that they will never feel equal to whites if they are constantly reminded by bridges, streets, markers and statues of Klu Klux Klanners while they were slaves and subjugated for centuries.

I agree with Bret Stephens of the New York Times who has come up with a good answer: If a person has also helped to make the country “a more perfect union” at times, even if he has said dumb, stupid, ignorant and racist statements at times, let’s leave him on his pedestal – unless part of the monument shows him better than other human statues on the monument.

As an example, Theodore Roosevelt helped to form a more perfect American union by approving parks and designating federal lands, championing conservation, breaking up trusts and monopolies, and having Booker T. Washington to dinner at the White House.

That invite drove the white supremacists crazy. Memphis paper: “President Roosevelt has committed a blunder that is worse than any crime!”

Alabama’s Geneva Reaper: “He might now just as well sleep with Booker T. Washington, for the scent of that coon will follow him to the grave as far as the South is concerned.”

But he said a lot of stupid, racist things, and also signed the Chinese Exclusion Act. Teddy’s comment on Indians: “I don’t go so far as to think the only good Indian is a dead Indian, but I believe nine out of every ten are. The

Crew members of the slave ship Zong throw sick slaves overboard in a 1781 voyage to Jamaica – 132 slaves were jettisoned and another 10 threw themselves overboard. The leading British abolitionist at the time, Granville Sharp, used the deaths of the slaves to increase public awareness about the slave trade and further the anti-slavery cause. It was he who first used the word massacre. most vicious cowboy has more moral principle than the average Indian.”

That’s the problem with the Roosevelt statue at the American Museum of Natural History. Teddy is on a horse while an Indian on one side and a black on the other are walking along. Bad message.

Ship the complete statue to Teddy’s library in North Dakota. In that the Roosevelt family funded the New York museum, put up another statue of just Teddy on his horse in the same spot.

I was convinced of this stand by a white woman who wrote as a 11-year-old white girl she went to a middle school across the street from the museum. She often went to the museum but the black principal she loved refused to cross the street to attend because of Teddy’s statue. She wrote: “That principled stance taught a little white 11-year-old girl something about seeing the symbols that teach racism. How monuments like this one, which quite literally elevates a white man over others, indoctrinates us and perpetuate the racist lies we’re taught about American history. Over the many decades since, I have never walked past that statue without thinking of Mr. Seabrook, and when it is gone, I will think of him still, and celebrate this small, yet meaningful

victory.”

Caroline Randall Williams: “I have rape-colored skin” Caroline is a writer in residence at Vanderbilt University. She published a fascinating article on June 20 in the New York Times called “You Want A Confederate Monument? My Body Is A Confederate Monument.”

She writes: “It is an extraordinary truth of my life that I am biologically more than half-white, and yet I have no white people in my genealogy in living memory. No. Voluntary.

Whiteness. I am more than half-white, and none of it was consensual. White Southern men – my ancestors – took what they wanted from women they did not love, over whom they had extraordinary power, and then failed to claim their children.”

She has traced the fact that she is the great-great-granddaughter of a Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan, Confederate General Edmund Pettus.

You might remember a bridge in Selma, Alabama called the Bloody Sunday Bridge where civil rights protesters such as Representative John Lewis were beaten bloody. Lewis, a civil rights icon, suffered a skull fracture from clubs wielded by state troopers.

You see, Caroline’s great grand-

father Will was an illegitimate son of Pettus, who had raped his slave mother.

Caroline has carefully studied her ancestry and proven through DNA testing she is the descendant of black women who were domestic servants and white men who raped their help.

She writes: “I am a black, Southern woman, and of my immediate white male ancestors, all of them were rapists. My very existence is a relic of slavery and Jim Crow. Either way, I say the monuments of stone and metal, the monuments of cloth and wood, all the man-made monuments, must come down. I defy any sentimental Southerner to defend our ancestors to me. I am quite literally made of the reasons to strip them of their laurels. I am proof that whatever else the South might have been, or might believe itself to be, it was and is a space whose prosperity and sense of romance and nostalgia were built on the grievous exploitation of black life.”

The Selma bridge should be renamed the “John Lewis Bridge.”

I’m with her.

The Confederate flag’s message to Blacks: “KNOW YOUR PLACE!” Natasha Tretheway, the former poet laureate of Mississippi and the United States, is a native of Mississippi. She discusses life in a Confederate state in her article “My Life Under Mississippi’s Racist Flag.”

Born in 1966 on the same day as Confederate Memorial Day, supposedly the year Jim Crow died and was buried, she outlines in passionate sentences her life in the most black state: “The onslaught began the day I was born. And the messages were everywhere. The landscape of my childhood was overwritten with monuments and symbols of the Confederacy: They were in the names of roads, bridges, buildings, schools, parks, other public works and counties.

And the state flag of Mississippi,

incorporating the Confederate battle flag in the top inner corner, was the most conspicuous. The inclusion of the battle flag within the state flag served as a visual reminder of white Mississippians’ allegiance to that white supremacist heritage and was indicative of the new ways the state would find to maintain the second-class status of Black Americans. It waved to us again and again: “KNOW YOUR PLACE!” (My bold face.)

(On June 30 Mississippi’s governor signed a measure into law that the flag would be replaced. Twenty years ago two-thirds of the voters elected to keep the battle flag part of the flag. It will be interesting to see the new design.)

Natasha’s mother was 11 years old when 14-year-old Emmett Till of Chicago was beaten and murdered in 1955 by lynching and his body was tossed into the Tallahatchi River.

He allegedly had whistled at a white woman. Her husband and another resident committed the crime and were arrested. Of course, they were declared innocent by an all-white jury.

At Emmett Till’s funeral in Chicago attended by thousands, his mother agreed to allow an open casket so viewers could see his unrecognizable, battered face. The photograph of Till in the casket ran in hundreds of newspapers.

In the end, symbols of white power and supremacy must come down, be changed, or destroyed. It’s the only way to get rid of institutionalized white supremacy so the country can be whole. It has never been great because of racism.

P.S.: Besides virus and race, we have another pandemic: the National Rifle Association gun culture. Google “shootings on July 4th weekend”: 17 kills, 70 wounded in Chicago, 65 shootings in New York City – a total of 160 killed, 300 wounded in Tombstone City, USA. Firearm violence costs each American $700 a year for a total of $229 billion.

The true story of the 1918 ‘pandemic’ The 1918-19 bacterial vaccine experiment may have killed 50-100 million people.

For more than a century, various entities that are involved in the propaganda machinery that has been tasked by the powers-that-be to advance American patriotism and corporate profiteering have covered-up the truth about what actually started the epidemic of what became known as the “Spanish Flu,” successfully obscuring what was actually a shameful experiment perpetrated by the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research – the uber-wealthy entity that started the American Medical Association and the School of Public Health at Johns Hopkins University.

Americans have been led to believe that what was the true epicenter of the pandemic – U.S. Army military bases – was actually the result of a Rockefeller Institute vaccine experiment gone awry.

The culprit vaccine, nicely documented by author Kevin Barry, was perpetrated upon hapless military recruits at a variety of bases in the US. Spain had nothing to do with the epidemic, except for actually allowing its journalists to write about it.

The experimental vaccine was devised when the only vaccine that had ever shown any promise in preventing disease was the smallpox vaccine (which, when evaluated in retrospect, didn’t actually deserve credit for the disappearance of

smallpox, since only a small minority of world citizens ever actually received the vaccine.)

The crude experimental vaccine was intended to theoretically prevent bacterial (not viral) meningitis in soldiers, which had been a problem in past wars. Barry nicely documents the story that has been left out of the history books, ignored by the Mainstream Media, deleted from the Pentagon archives, and misrepresented by the pharmaceutical and medical industries, the NIH, the CDC, the NIAID and every corporation that seeks to profit from vaccinating as many infants, children and adults that they can. And that includes, of course, the widely discredited Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation that has spent hundreds of billions of dollars funding, founding and subsidizing corporations and other entities that promote universal vaccinations for whatever is proclaimed Big Pharma to be “vaccinepreventable disorders”) A previous 4,261 word Duty to Warn column can be accessed at fortruss.com/2020/05/did-psychopath rockefeller-create-the-spanish-flupandemic-of-1918/ Below are excerpts from the article that was written by author Kevin Barry, whose website is called First Freedoms (firstfreedoms.org).

“During the war years 1918-19, the U.S. Army ballooned to 6,000,000 men, with 2,000,000 men being sent overseas. The Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research took advantage of this new pool of human guinea pigs to

conduct vaccine experiments.”

“During WW1, the Rockefeller Institute also sent its experimental anti-meningococcal serum to England, France, Belgium, Italy and other countries, helping spread the epidemic worldwide.”

“The Rockefeller Institute and its experimental bacterial meningococcal vaccine, contrary to the accepted mythology may have killed 50-100 million people in 1918-1919.”

“The crude anti-bacterial vaccine used in the Fort Riley experiment on soldiers was made in horses.”

“According to a 2008 National Institute of Health paper, bacterial pneumonia was the killer in a minimum of 92.7% of the 1918-19 Pandemic autopsies reviewed.”

“Clean water, sanitation, flushing toilets, refrigerated foods and healthy diets have done and still do far more to protect humanity from infectious diseases than any vaccine program.”

“In 1918, the vaccine industry experimented on soldiers…with disastrous results – but in 2018, the vaccine industry experiments on infants every day. The vaccine schedule has never been tested as it is given.

The results of the experiment are in: 1 in 7 of America’s fully vaccinated children is in some form of special education and over 50% have some form of chronic illness.” The “Spanish Flu” killed an estimated 50-100 million people during a pandemic 1918-19.”

What if the story we have been told about this pandemic isn’t true? What if, instead, the killer infection was neither the flu nor Spanish in origin?

Newly analyzed documents reveal that the “Spanish Flu” may have been a military vaccine experiment gone awry.

The reason modern technology has not been able to pinpoint the killer influenza strain from this pandemic is because influenza was not the killer.

More soldiers died during WWI from disease than from bullets.

The pandemic was not flu. An estimated 95% (or higher) of the deaths were caused by bacterial pneumonia, not an influenza virus.

The pandemic was not Spanish. The first cases of bacterial pneumonia in 1918 trace back to military bases, the first one in Fort Riley, Kansas.

From Jan. 21–June 4, 1918, an experimental bacterial meningitis vaccine cultured in horses by the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research in New York was injected into soldiers at Fort Riley.

During the remainder of 1918 as those soldiers – often living and traveling under poor sanitary conditions – were sent to Europe to fight, they spread bacteria at every stop between Kansas and the frontline trenches in France.

One study describes soldiers “with active infections (who) were aerosolizing the bacteria that colonized their noses and throats, while others –often, in the same “breathing spaces” – were profoundly susceptible to invasion of and rapid spread through their lungs by their own or others’ colonizing bacteria.” (1) The “Spanish Flu” attacked healthy people in their prime. Bacterial pneumonia attacks people in their prime. Flu attacks the young, old and immunocompromised.

When WW1 ended on Nov. 11, 1918, soldiers returned to their home countries and colonial outposts, spreading the killer bacterial pneumonia worldwide.

During the pandemic of 1918-19, the so-called “Spanish Flu” killed 50100 million people, including many soldiers.

Many people do not realize that disease killed far more soldiers on all sides than machine guns or mustard gas or anything else typically associated with WWI. I have a personal connection to the Spanish Flu. Among those killed by disease in 1918-19 are members of both of my parents’ families.

On my father’s side, his grandmother Sadie Hoyt died from pneumonia in 1918. Sadie was a Chief Yeoman in the Navy. Her death left my grandmother Rosemary and her sister Anita to be raised by their aunt. Sadie’s sister Marian also joined the Navy. She died from “the influenza” in 1919.

On my mother’s side, two of her father’s sisters died in childhood. All of the family members who died lived in New York City.

I suspect many American families, and many families worldwide, were impacted in similar ways by the mysterious Spanish Flu. In 1918, “influenza” or flu was a catchall term for disease of unknown origin. It didn’t carry the specific meaning it does today.

It meant some mystery disease which dropped out of the sky. In fact, influenza is from the Medieval Latin “influential” in an astrological sense, meaning a visitation under the influence of the stars.

30,000-pound catches as we have over the past few days.

You pull the boat up to the net and see tails and heads and you know pretty quickly there will be no rest for the weary until the tide recedes.

Full nets are a sight to behold. And then to have the net fill up behind you just as quick after you’ve picked through is another sight to behold and pretty soon you know you’re going to be round hauling those nets onto the deck, chock full of fish that have to picked, bled and iced.

Believe me, this 66 year-old wonders what I’m doing here when you’re grabbing net and straining with all your old man might with crew to pull clumps of fish, thousands of pounds of fish, over the roller into the boat.

The crew jumps into the fray to pick and stack the net while I get to aim the boat uneasily back toward the river mouth to deliver, waves spilling over the bow, slipping into the stern. All the boats are riding low, full of fish.

No pension from years in the community newspaper business.

I’m one of those bozos without the proper financial planning gene. My retirement is fish.

At least all this activity keeps me from seeing the news. Most of the time.

Innocently I was over in the fish camp crew house to do laundry or get something to eat and I happened past the television, glowing there with the nightly news.

Lo and behold, my favorite reality show president, Mr. Donald V. (for vengeance) Rumpt was blabbing away, saying “The radical left will not destroy our great country. We will stop them.”

Now what, I was thinking. Now what’s the blabbermouth blabbing about.

The Great Divider is obviously ramping up his 2020 campaign themes about the radical left and socialists and a host of other evils that will actually free this country from his reign.

Seems as though bad people have been tearing down statues of oppression and this law and order fake president is putting his foot down. He’s one tough chicken tough guy, all blab and no substance. He’s so hollow you could hold him up to a light and see right through him.

Yep, I’m trying not to let this guy get to me (he is). I’m trying to live my life free of his baloney.

As a member of NUFA I’ve been banned from acts like peeing on the Rumpt Tower, which I really wanted to do when we were in New York a few years ago. Can’t be mean even with a meanie.

I get it but I’ve now decided that I’ll suspend my NUFA membership for a moment and pee on the Rumpt Tower, ask for forgiveness and hope to be reinstalled in NUFA. In the meantime, I responded to an email asking me to rate the Rumpt presidency. An Obvious Rumpt campaign site that showed up on my email for some reason. I happily responded. I said, no, he wasn’t doing a good job. He was a boob.

This was the actual question: Do you approve of President Rumpt’s recent job performance?

Yes. No. Other, please specify.

I said no and then I specified in the space allotted. Thought I could get in a wry comment or two.

He’s a liar and a blabber mouth, I said. A boob. Thank you.

Left my name and email (required) and zip code. I wanted to talk to someone. That’s when the problem began.

The site couldn’t be reached. My response was seen but wasn’t accepted.

Saying the president is a boob wasn’t accepted. The site can’t be reached if you leave a wry comment. You can only say nice things.

If you say mean things, however true, they won’t be tabulated. Only good responses!

But now I’ve responded. I’m a mark, a potential donor and voter. A chump.

The Rumpt campaign only wants to hear from the followers, the believers, the brainwashed. And then it asks those adherents for money to help defeat the radical left and keep a true minority government in power.

I found another Rumpt email site that I thought might get closer to the boob himself and I repeated my claim that he was a boob.

I also said he was a blabbermouth boob who is ruining the country just to elicit a response but none came.

I guess my only recourse is to write the boob himself, again, at the White House and get a stupid letter back, again, saying “thank you for your interest in keeping our country great.”

And would I like to donate?

It feels like an answering machine is running the country.

Preordained Justin Couch, 25, of Spring Hill, Florida, who sports a tattoo of a machete under his left eye, was arrested June 13, according to the Hernando (Florida) County Sheriff’s Office, for allegedly attacking a man with a machete. The unnamed adult male victim told officers Crouch forced him out of the home where he’d been living and began arguing with him “for no reason,” reported Fox13 News.

As the man attempted to gather his belongings from the home, deputies said, Couch allegedly hit the victim with the flat side of the machete’s blade, “then swung the machete at the victim’s face,” striking his arm with the blade as the man tried to ward off the blow. “The victim is currently unable to use or move his left hand due to the severity of the injury he sustained,” investigators said. Couch was arrested for aggravated battery. [Fox 13 News, 6/19/2020] Sign of the times A perfect storm may be brewing to strike down the long-maligned one-cent coin, the penny. Earlier this year, the U.S. Mint cut back on coin production to keep its workers safe amid the COVID-19 pandemic, reported NPR’s Planet Money. At the

same time, people stopped spending, especially with cash, and word of a coin shortage spread, prompting some stores, such as Kroger, to start rounding their prices to avoid making coin change. Last year, the mint made more than 7 billion pennies, almost 60% of its total coin production, and each one-cent coin cost TWO cents to produce, putting the loss at more than $72 million. Still, the mint has no plans to eliminate the coin. It’s been up and running at full capacity since mid-June, and according to spokesman Michael White, about 40% of the coins it has produced since then have been pennies.

TASTE! Time to chill

Dining outside, once merely a nice summertime option, is now a requirement in many communities around the nation. The ambiance of al fresco dining notwithstanding, it presents a challenge for those of us who enjoy a glass of wine with lunch or dinner on a warm summer day.

As temperatures soar, maintaining the proper chill on a glass of white wine can be difficult.

Even a glass of red wine, ideally served at room temperature, is problematic.

Room temperature was never meant to be 80-plus degrees F. On one recent outing, I spied a guest at a nearby table tossing ice cubes into his glass of chardonnay.

This works.

I confess I’ve done it myself. But melting ice cubes will dilute your wine and water down the experience, so to speak.

It’s probably not the ideal solution.

The better option is to ask your server to pour your wine by the glass a half-glass at a time. Only problem there is getting your second helping if the restaurant gets busy and the server is slammed.

VINO

ROBERT WHITLEY

The even better option is to order a full bottle and request an ice bucket.

This works especially well in states that allow partially full bottles to be brownbagged and taken home.

On the warmest days, even a bottle of red wine needs an ice bucket, unless drinking warm red wine is your thing.

Generally, though, red wines served too warm tend to taste harsh. I do not recommend!

Tasting Notes Wines are rated on a 100-point scale.

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

J. Lohr 2016 Cuvee St. E, Paso Robles ($60) – This vintage of St. E departs a bit from the theme (saluting the emphasis on merlot and cabernet franc in the Bordeaux district of Saint-Emilion). With an unusual reliance on cabernet sauvignon (41%), all is forgiven when you taste the wine. Richly layered aromas of blackberry, plum and cassis give the wine impressive heft and a long, complex finish.

Notes of oak vanillin and pencil shavings signal its close relationship with the Bordeaux model. All in all, it’s another winner for this ambitious Bordeaux-blend project from one

of California’s most accomplished producers. Rating: 95.

Domaine des Quatre Vents 2018 Fleurie AOC, France ($23.99) – This was one of Georges Duboeuf’s favorite domains.

The king of Beaujolais admired its combination of delicacy and depth, for it is one of those rare wines of Beaujolais that you would dare age.

The 2018 offers a spicy combination of red- and black-fruit aromas, a lifted floral note and silky tannins. It’s a keeper! Rating: 94.

Tongue Dancer 2019 Rose of Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast ($22) – Winemaker/ proprietor James MacPhail is meticulous to the point that he inoculated this wine with yeast from the Bandol region of France, legendary for its crisp and delicious rose wines. Add to that bit of inside information the fact that it is made using the saigne technique (bleeding off the juice from wine otherwise meant to be made as table wine) with grapes from some of the most coveted pinot noir vineyards in California. You get the idea. It’s magic in a bottle, courtesy of one of California’s most respected winemakers. Rating: 94.

to some of the finest examples of pinot noir produced in California. This vintage from Tondre’s Grapefield is a beauty, showing cherry and raspberry notes, a hint of earth and firm tannins that should resolve with another year or so in bottle.

Rating: 92.

Decoy 2018 Merlot, Sonoma County ($25) – Still one of the best values in California red wine, the Decoy merlot delivers a rich, complex palate of red and blue fruit flavors; an attractive touch of oak vanillin; and supple tannins that invite easy sipping now, though with its stout backbone, it can stand up to savory roasts and grilled meats.

Kicking the sugar habit

BY CHARLYN FARGO Creators Syndicate

Most of us – despite being around our kitchens more due to this COVID-19 seclusion — are all about trying to break the sugar habit.

It’s not that sugar is banned from a healthy diet; it’s just that it’s easy to overdo sugar consumption.

One of the problems is that sugar wears many disguises on a food label.

It can be called honey, coconut sugar, brown sugar, corn syrup, agave, brown rice syrup or maple syrup.

Sugar is added to 68% of packaged foods and drinks in the U.S. Being mindful of products that contain sugar

– and how that sugar is labeled – is a way to begin reducing your sugar.

Sugar can be in plant-based milks, nut butters, bacon, ketchup and even chicken stock.

Naturally occurring sugars in fruit,

veggies and even milk typically don’t need to be on your worry list, as they come bundled with nutrients, fiber, vitamins and antioxidants.

It’s the added sugars that are a problem. The U.S. Department of

Agriculture recommends limiting added sugars to 10% of your daily calories. For a 1,600-calorie diet, that means no more than 160 calories, or 10 teaspoons from added sugars per day.

The American Heart Association recommends even less – 100 calories from added sugar, or 6 teaspoons a day.

How to break the sugar habit?

• Read ingredient lists, and choose low-sugar options.

• Reduce your stress. I know it’s hard in times like these, but a workout, walk, hobby or other diversion will be much more helpful than a sugary snack.

• Get enough sleep. We make much better – and healthier – choices when we’re properly rested.

• Reduce sugar in baked goods by adding overripe bananas, applesauce or dates instead of sugar.

• Rather than cutting the acid in a tomato sauce with sugar, try adding grated carrots, butternut squash or sweet potatoes.

• Replace the sweets in your diet with fruit.

• Toss fresh or dried fruit into your oatmeal to replace some of the sugar.

A: Eating whole, fresh fruit is associated with weight management and weight loss, especially in people trying to lose weight.

In a study published in Frontiers in Nutrition journal, randomized and controlled trials found that increased consumption of whole, fresh fruit promoted weight management and weight loss over a 3- to 24-week period.

Researchers also found that eating a piece of whole fruit before a meal helped with weight loss.

Find your brew by exploring different styles Beer has been produced by humans for longer than many people may know. Barley beer researchers have to traced beer production to present-day Iran in the fifth millennium BC. The making and drinking of beer also is noted in the written history of ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia.

Beer is one of the most popular alcoholic beverages available today and it is an important sector of the beverage industry.

Business Insider says an estimated $661 billion worth of beer was sold around the world in 2017.

In the United States alone, more than 7,000 new breweries opened in 2018, according to the Brewers Association. An additional 1,000 breweries were opened last year.

All beers are either lagers or ales, which are distinguished by the type of yeast used during the fermentation process (bottom- or top-fermenting, respectively). These beers are further labeled to describe the brew’s overall character, and oftentimes its place of origin, states BeerAdvocate.

The following are some of the most popular types of beers on the market.

• Bocks: BeerAdvocate says a German Bock is a lager that is stronger than your typical lager, with a more robust malt character.

The hue of these beers ranges from dark amber to brown. Bocks were once brewed by Bavarian monks and were consumed at the end of Lent.

• Brown ales: These beers feature toasty flavors with malty overtones. They have a mid-range alcohol content and boast a hoppy bitterness. Brown ales are full-bodied beers that pair well with heavier foods, like red meats and stews.

• Dark lagers: Many dark lagers have malty, smooth, caramel flavors. They tend to have a midrange alcohol level and relatively low bitterness profiles.

• India pale ales: IPAs boast strong hop bitterness and piney, floral flavors. They are especially popular among craft beer enthusiasts and brewers. IPAs tend to have a higher alcohol content than other pale ales. Imperial or double IPAs have even more pronounced flavors

and higher ABVs. • Pale ales: These beers are hoppy, but generally light, drinkable beers. Many easily pair with fish, poultry and cheeses.

• Pilsners and pale lagers: These similar, golden-colored beers are light in flavor and lower in alcohol content than other styles of beer. This style of beer was made popular in Germany, but many American brands like Coors and Budweiser have made pale lagers a favorite of the masses.

• Porters: Porters were developed in London in the early 18th century. These beers are wellhopped and dark in appearance due

24 July 16, 2020 DuluthReader.com

to the use of brown malt. The name grew from the popularity of the beer among street and river porters.

• Sours: People either love or hate this style of wild yeast-fermented ales.

• Stouts: Stouts tend to be dark in color and are often mistaken as being heavy and strong. This isn’t always the case. Many stouts are complex and low in alcohol, according to All About Beer magazine.

Dry stouts are well-known in Ireland. A distinguishing characteristic of a dry stout is its black, essentially opaque appearance.

• Wheat ales: Wheat malts grown for use in beer usually have a lower

protein level – around 13-14% – than wheat grown for, say, bread. While protein is desirable for food items like bread and baking, too much protein can affect the way the grain interacts with the yeast and hops. Traditional German wheat beers are usually made from red winter wheat.Hefeweizen is the traditional German wheat beer, and witbier is the Belgian take on the style, and often are spcied with coriander and orange peel.

• Hybrids: This category includes beers such as Alt and Kolsch, which are ales brewed with topfermenting lager yeast and coldconditioned like lage (courtesy Metro Creative Services.)

A crunchy-crust homemade pizza

By Jim Lundstrom Ever since seeing this recipe on an episode of America’s Test Kitchen several years ago, this has been my hands-down favorite homemade pizza.

It’s a simple recipe that has the crust proof (rise) in the baking pan in a fair amount of olive oil, which helps to create a heavenly crunchy crust. I guarantee you will be addicted to what is known as Grandma Pizza.

The recipe calls for mixing the dough with a stand mixer. I did it by hand, which is a real workout. But once you have the dough done, the rest is simple. Resist the urge to add other ingredients. I can attest to the fact that results will be an awful, soggy mess if you add to the basic ingredients, and. honestly, it’s perfect the way it is.

Grandma Pizza Dough 3 tablespoons olive oil

3/4 cup water 1 1/2 cups (8 1/4 ounces) bread flour 2 1/4 teaspoons rapid-rise yeast 1 teaspoon sugar 3/4 teaspoon salt Topping 1(28-ounce) can diced tomatoes 1 tablespoon olive oil 2 garlic cloves, minced 1 teaspoon dried oregano 1/4 teaspoon salt 8 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded (2 cups) 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil Coat rimmed baking sheet with 2 tablespoons oil. Combine water and remaining 1 tablespoon oil in 1-cup liquid measuring cup. Using stand mixer fitted with dough hook, mix flour, yeast, sugar and salt on low speed until combined.

With mixer running, slowly add water mixture and mix until dough

comes together, about 1 minute.

Increase speed to medium-low and mix until dough is smooth and comes away from sides of bowl, about 10 minutes.

Transfer dough to greased baking sheet and turn to coat. Stretch dough to 10 by 6-inch rectangle. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in warm place until doubled in size, 1 to 1½ hours.

Stretch dough to corners of pan, cover loosely with plastic, and let rise in warm place until slightly puffed, about 45 minutes. (If the dough snaps back when you press it to the corners of the baking sheet, cover it, let it rest for 10 minutes, and try again.)

Meanwhile, adjust oven rack to lowest position and heat oven to 500 degrees.

Place tomatoes in colander and drain well. Combine drained tomatoes, oil, garlic, oregano, and salt in bowl.

Combine mozzarella and Parmesan in second bowl. Sprinkle cheese mixture over dough, leaving ½-inch border around edges. Top with tomato

An interview with Carry Nation

Editor’s note: This interview with the infamous, sometimes axe-wielding prohibitionist crusader was conducted by an unnamed female reporter and appeared under the above column header (“Concerning Woman”) in the July 27, 1920, edition of The Duluth Herald. We reprint it here for its historical interest and inherent comedy. The photo and headline at right accompanied the original article, which is available thanks to the Minnesota Historical Society newspaper archive.

“There’s nothing that God and me can’t subdue,” said Mrs. Carry A. Nation this morning with a ring of earnestness in her voice and an uplifted arm that brought swift reminder of lurking Biblical quotation.

Mrs. Nation came to the city this morning and stopped at the McKay hotel only long enough to visit the bar, to discover as she said “a filthy place, pictures of naked women and a boy of about twenty-one smoking cigarettes,” and waiting only long enough to announce her disapproval of such things she took her way hence.

She stopped at The Herald office for direction to a place that she might stay where there was no bar and she was sent to the Y.W.C.A. where they took Mrs. Nation in. After emerging from a bath, she consented to an immediate interview. Every interviewer since Mrs. Nation has appeared on the national horizon who has met her has had his little fling. It is easier to write a facetious interview than a serious one.

But no ray of humor makes up a part of Mrs. Nation’s credo. She has an earnestness of purpose and a serious outlook that puts to momentary shame anything less intense.

Mrs. Nation was asked about the work that brought her to the Northwest. “I’m on a chautauqua circuit now,” she said. “I used to be such a notorious character that nobody wanted Carry Nation on a chautauqua. But it’s different now.

I’ll speak at Two Harbors tonight, and here in Duluth tomorrow night.

I’ll talk on ‘Where I Smashed, Why I Smashed and What I Smashed.’ It will

DuluthReader.com

be a regular smashing lecture.”

Even her last statement was said seriously. Mrs. Nation talked as frankly and freely finished dressing and the job wasn’t all done even at the end of the interview.

She has a pet scheme of founding a college at her home in Arkansas and she wished to sell her fruit farm to put the money into the prohibition college upon which she has set her mind.

“We will educate the young people and send them out, two and two as the Savior did,” said Mrs. Nation, “to teach the great cause of prohibition.

Not only the prohibition of drink but of tobacco using, of all the evils of the flesh and most of all, prohibition against the secret orders.”

“The Masons, too?” queried the interviewer.

“Yes, ma’am,” said Mrs. Nation just as earnestly, and she spoke firmly with uplifted arm and made the statement that heads the interview. “There’s nothing that God and me can’t subdue. No ma’am!”

Mrs. Nation feels that the Mason swears away his right as an individual and the lodge members are led as in a herd. She thinks the things they vow just approach the unspeakable and anything that a man can’t tell his wife must be pretty bad. The secret orders must go, says Mrs. Nation, and she offers to present any Mason with one hundred dollars if he can give an affidavit that what she will tell of the Masons tomorrow evening in her lecture here is not true.

“I am a believer in the individual,” said Mrs. Nation, “and no man who

swears he will have his tongue torn out by the roots nor his breast cut and heart taken out, or his body slashed and his vitals burned to ashes, is keeping the rights of the individual.”

“Why does he say that he will have done all those unpleasant things,” asked the interviewer.

“Rather than tell the truth about his lodge,” said Mrs. Nation, snapping her

lips tight shut. “He vows that all that may happen to him before he’ll even tell his wife what happened at the lodge? Yes, ma’am!”

Mrs. Nation has five grandchildren.

“Are they going into the temperance work?” inquired the interviewer.

“Bless you, no!” said Mrs. Nation.

“They’re going into matrimony.”

THIS WEEK IN HISTORY Ad appearing in the July 25, 1900 edition of the Duluth Evening Herald. Images and stories courtesy of the Minnesota Historical Society.

Duluth Herald July 23, 1888 BREAKS THE RECORD. THE RECORD IN FLOUR MOVEMENT AT DULUTH BROKEN BY LAST WEEK – A NEW FEATURE IN WHEAT. Duluth has for years been proud of her record as a shipping port, and the record has constantly been broken by the steady increase of business.

Last week, however, proved a poser, and smashed all previous records to smithereens, especially in the magnitude of flour receipts by rail.

During the week there were received here 100,360 barrels of flour, mostly from Minneapolis, and 93,005 barrels of it over the St. Paul & Duluth, an average of 15,000 barrels daily for one road, which may truly be called

Duluth’s flour carrying road. There were shipped 93,973 barrels, nearly all of which was for direct export in through bills to Europe; of this amount 29,236 barrels went to Buffalo, 20,882 to Sandusky to the Baltimore & Ohio, 39,484 to Sarnia to the Grand Trunk, and the rest to Montreal and other ports. In store today 167,988 barrels, or 65,000 more than at this opening of navigation in May. Of wheat there has been shipped during the week 396,000 bushels, leaving a total in store today of 3,794,218 bushels and showing a decrease for the week of 362,737. Of the total in store all but 600,000 bus.

Is 1 hard wheat. There are 127,223 bushels corn in store and a small lot of oats. St. Paul and Minneapolis together hold today 5,795,850 bushels. A year ago today, Duluth had 2,453,241 bushels in store. The receipts last week were unusually light, only about 27,000 bus.; this week however, they will be much larger a lot of 300,000 bushels of Minneapolis low grade stuff having been sold in the East for immediate shipment through Duluth. Eighty-five cars of this arrived this week, the first consignment and about 500 cars more will be along in a few days. Shipments

Duluth Herald July 25, 1900 “The park question is still being stongly advocated at West Duluth,” said a West Duluthian yesterday. “The feeling that the city ought to have a park on the St. Louis rover fronmt here has only been intensified by the news that S. E. Kilner, treasurer of the Land and River company of New York, and who represents the Billings estate,.

Has been in West Superior for several days negotiating for a transfer of some eighty acres of estate fronting on the St. Louis river to the city of Superior for park purposes. Mr. Kilner has laid the matter before Mayor Parker of that city and stated the conditions attached to the transfer. He left last night for New York to report to the Billings heirs, and it is believed that word will be received

by August 1, laying the matter formally before the city council. The matter of a park on the St. Lois river is considered most favorably by the rank and file of Superiorites, the adaptability and beauty of the location being without question the best found for within many miles of that city.

“It is believed that the council of Superior will, when the transfer Ad appearing in the July 23, 1888 edition of the Duluth Evening Herald.

Duluth Herald July 24, 1890 An amusing incident occurred on board the Hunter yesterday afternoon.

Col. A. D. Hoyt, who was among the excursionists from St. Cloud is the patentee of a lawn sprinkler and naturally should not be much afraid of water, but when the boat went aground, he immediately imagined that the passengers were to share the fate of the two men who were capsized and he immediately began to make preparations. The colonel is a little inclined towards “embonpoint” and it was some time before he could find a life preserver to fit, but when he secured one he fastened it around his waist, and although there was not a particle of danger he could not be induced to remove the life saving apparatus until the boat landed in the Northern Pacific slip, and he declared that he would never venture on the bay again.

is made, take immediate steps to improve the property for park purposes.

“This park site to be donated by the Billings estate is almost directly opposite the sites that have been advocated for park purposes on thi side of the river, and is not regarded as better location for park than can be had on th West Duluth side. The proposed sites along the river here are wooded. The trees are not very large yet, but they afford some shade and are growing. The best possible advantages are offered for boating and athing and the water is deep enough to permit the landing for ferry boats.

With no other park on the water front, we believe that one on the St Louis river, in this cvicinity, would be one of the most popular rsorts in the city.

Then, too, the desirability of having picnic parties and excursions would be heightened by a ferry service between the two parks – if we had them – here at West Duluth and across the river at

West Superior.

Duluth Herald July 26, 1910 COMPLAINTS OVER DELAY Business Men Say Contractor Is Not Rushing Garfield Business interests are complaining bitterly over the slowness of the improvement of Garfield avenue.

Teams can hardly get through.

One side is completely torn up and the other might as well be, for it can scarcely be used/ It is a mass of ruts and mudholes. One team cannot pull an ordinary load through it.

“The work is going altogether too slowly,” said R.E. Patterson of the board of public works. “The contractor hasn’t over twenty-five men on the job. He is evidently not trying to push it ahead, although the street is pretty nearly impassable and not at all fit for travel.”

Garfield avenue is one of the heaviest traveled thoroughfares in Duluth. T is the only avenue or street between Duluth and Superior and hundreds of tons of merchandise are carted over it daily under normal circumstances.

Duluth Herald July 27, 1920 MORE LIQUOR INDICTMENTS MADE PUBLIC Conspiracy to Introduce Whisky Into Country Charged.

Seven Men, Including Two

Duluthians, Are Placed Under Bonds.

Indictments returned by the recent Federal grand jury, but withheld pending apprehension of some of the defendants, were filed yesterday against A. R. Burns and Leslie A. Barker of Part Arthur, Frank Schaeffer of Duluth and Paul Gappa of Superior.

Another indictment against A. R. Burns and E. P. Flatt of Port Arthur, Paul Gappa, of Superior, and John P. Geistman of Duluth, was made public.

Both indictments charge conspiracy to introduce liquor into the United States and transporting and concealing the same. Geistman is treasurer and manager of the Marine Iron and Shipbuilding company here.

Overt act No. 1 on the first indictment recites that on June 6 the defendants conspired and agreed to facilitate the transportation and sale of thirty-five cases of whisky smuggled into the United States and concealed on the same in an automobile on the streets of Duluth. Also that Paul Gappa caused the whisky to be transported from Duluth to Superior on June 18.

Brought in Boat, Charged.

The other indictment charges that on May 20 the defendants did conspire and agree to transport large quantities of intoxicating liquor upon a boat called the Island Creek containing 111 cases of whisky and that on June 7 the defendants assisted in unloading said 111 cases of whisky and concealed the same in the garage of the Marine Iron & Shipbuilding company at Duluth.

The men involved in both indictments furnished bonds of up to $2,000.Ad appearing in the July 26, 1910 edition of the Duluth Herald.

Remembering ‘The Minnesota Eight’ Anti-war activists went to prison for unsuccessful draft board raids men, soon known as the Minnesota Eight, were arrested without incident.

The Wabasha team succeeded in destroying files, and no arrests in that case were ever made.

The men were charged with the federal crime of interference with the Selective Service. They and their lawyers made the trials, like the raids, political acts aimed at informing and persuading the public of the evils of the war in Vietnam.

There were three trials: two before

Seven of the Minnesota Eight in 1970. Front row (from left): Chuck Turchick, Mike Therriault (with book), Brad Beneke (head turned), and Don Olson. Back row (from left): Pete Simmons, Bill Tilton and Frank Kroncke. Missing: Cliff Ulen. Used with the permission of Cheryl Walsh Bellville.

Around midnight on July 10, 1970, four teams of two or three people each broke into Selective Service offices in Little Falls, Alexandria, Winona, and Wabasha, intending to destroy as many military draft files as possible – acts of protest against the war in Vietnam.

They mostly failed. Eight of them were arrested and charged with federal crimes. They became known as the Minnesota Eight.

Resistance to the war in Vietnam, in Minnesota and elsewhere, took many forms. One of them was destruction of files in the offices of the Selective Service system (a draft eligibility agency).

It is ironic that in Minnesota the least successful of such actions – that of the Minnesota Eight – is the best remembered.

The first draft-board raid in the state, and possibly the first nationwide, took place in Elk River when Barry Bondhus poured two buckets of human excrement into the Selective Service files there in February of 1966. He was sentenced to 18 months in prison.

In the next three years similar acts took place in Chicago, Milwaukee, and Indianapolis, where hundreds and sometimes thousands of files were destroyed.

In January 1970, Brian Wells burned 2,400 files at the Nicollet County Selective Service office in St. Peter and received a sentence of up to six years of federal supervision.

By far the most successful such action took place in St. Paul and Minneapolis the weekend of Feb. 28, 1970, when anti-war activists destroyed thousands of files held in the St. Paul central post office and an office building in downtown Minneapolis. No one was ever arrested for these crimes.

After this, another group began planning break-ins in greater Minnesota.

On July 10, 1970, it went into action. Chuck Turchick, Bill Tilton and Cliff Ulen went to Alexandria; Don Olson, Peter Simmons and Brad Beneke went to Winona; and Francis Kroncke and Michael Therriault went to Little Falls. Another team headed for Wabasha, while a fifth canceled its action.

Around midnight the raiders all broke into the Selective Service offices, prepared to destroy files. They concentrated on those of citizens designated 1-A – that is, subject to callup at any time.

In Alexandria, Little Falls, and Winona, FBI agents were waiting. The

Judge Edward Devitt, the third before Philip Neville.

Rancor broke out before the first trial even began. At Brian Wells’s trial Brad Beneke called Devitt “a pompous ass.”

Devitt sent him to jail for 10 days.

At his arraignment, Turchick said he could not expect mercy from a court that “jails people because they refuse to kill.”

At the first two trials (Turchick and Tilton, then Olson, Simmons and Beneke), Devitt positioned armed

sentries in the courthouse and kept many defense supporters out of his courtroom. Some supporters refused to stand for the judge and were ejected. A bomb threat and then a jury-misconduct mistrial marred the second trial. All five defendants were quickly convicted.

The third trial, before Judge Neville, was completely different. He kept an open courtroom, used no armed guards, and allowed the defense to bring witness after witness to condemn the war in Vietnam. But in the end Neville ordered the jury to disregard all such evidence; Therriault and Kroncke were also quickly convicted.

Rancor resurfaced at sentencing.

Tilton called Judge Devitt “a good German” who was “helping fascism come into this country.”

Devitt told the defendants that they were worse than ordinary criminals because their conduct struck “at the very foundation of government.”

Five of the seven got the maximum sentence of five years in federal prison; the two youngest, Beneke and Simmons, received indeterminate terms. All appeals were denied.

They served between 14 and 20 months, mostly in medium security prisons, and were released in July 1973. Cliff Ulen, the lone defendant to plead guilty, got no prison time.

When families are faced with financial uncertainty or sudden income loss, addressing the situation takes more than just thinking about dol-

lars and cents, says Lori Hendrickson, Extension Educator and an accredited financial counselor with University of Minnesota Extension.

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

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

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

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

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

• How can we avoid waste?

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

• Can we save if we do it ourselves?

• Can we do without?

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

Tips for reducing disposable plastic Dear EarthTalk: Any tips for reducing the amount of disposable plastic I use for food storage? – J. Spencer, Gaithersburg, MD Analysts estimate that of the over six billion tons of plastic produced worldwide since the 1950s, we have recycled only nine percent of it and incinerated another 12 percent. The remaining, some 4.8 billion tons of plastic is either still in use, filling up landfills, or littered into streets, streams and eventually the ocean.

About a third of the plastic produced worldwide is for single-use applications (bottles, bags, utensils, food storage, etc.) – and it is these items that most commonly end up on the side of the road. Researchers discussed in a 2019 paper in Nature that if we do nothing to step up flagging efforts to reduce, reuse and recycle plastics, we could have three times as much of it littered into the global environment by 2060.

So, what’s an environmentally conscious consumer to do? For starters,

Either bring your own reusable one or if you need to go disposable, at least opt for paper that can be recycled or composted. And if you are food shopping, gravitate toward the bulk items aisle where you can buy just the right amount without unnecessary

extra packaging.

Another way to cut down on single use plastic is ditching plastic straws.

Americans go through about 500 million plastic straws daily. Opting for reusable straws (metal, silicone, bamboo or glass, anyone?) – or no straw at all – is one of the simplest ways to cut down on disposable plastic.

According to the non-profit Center for EcoTechnology (CET), the kitchen is one place where you can definitely make some easy adjustments to save plastic. For starters, ditch the plastic wrap; it’s difficult to recycle and can clog recycling processing machines.

One great alternative is beeswax paper, which is reusable, washable and compostable. (Make sure to wash it with cold water only so the wax doesn’t melt.)

“Another alternative to plastic wrap is storing your food in glass storage containers or glass jars,” adds CET. “Glass is 100% recyclable and can

be recycled endlessly without loss in quality or purity.”

Putting dish cloths to use is another way to eschew plastic wrap for keeping produce fresh. Simply wrap up those fruits or veggies in a cloth instead of plastic – or put them in a bowl and cover with a dish cloth and rubber band for a tight seal – and put ‘em in the fridge.

One often overlooked environmental downside of the coronavirus situation is that restaurants throw in so much disposable plasticware for to-go and delivery orders, whether customers need it or not. That’s why a coalition of 120 environmental groups recently teamed up to send letters to seven national food delivery companies asking they change their default ordering process to one that does not automatically include utensils, napkins, condiments and straws in order to reduce the tsunami of singleuse plastic pollution entering our oceans, landfills and incinerators.

Sunscreens don’t block vitamin D

Q: You’ve written about sunscreen, but I haven’t seen you address the topic that worries me most. By using sunscreen every day, you may limit the amount of vitamin D your body makes.

Some studies suggest that lower vitamin D contributes to a greater risk of cancer. When scientists study sunscreen, they should monitor vitamin D in participants.

Has anyone done that?

A: Yes! And the most recent research suggests that using SPF 15 sunscreen that also blocks UVA radiation does NOT prevent vitamin D formation (British Journal of Dermatology, November 2019).

We know this contradicts popular wisdom about sunscreen, but a review of the medical literature concluded that daily sunscreen application does not seem to interfere with skin synthesis of vitamin D (British Journal of Dermatology, November 2019). The studies in the review, however, used moderate SPF sunscreen rather than the very high sun protection factor sunscreens that are now popular.

Q: I recently started taking care of my own health issues. I had hand tremors that made the mouse run laps around the computer screen.

After researching all my prescription medicines, I quit taking lisinopril for high blood pressure.

After a month being off it, the tremors are gone. They had been so bad that another nurse friend noticed it when we were out for dinner. I have many hobbies and could not imagine being unable to knit, crochet, sew or embroider again.

A: Your story took us by surprise.

We have been interested in ACE inhibitors like lisinopril for decades.

This blood pressure pill works well for most people, with relatively few side effects.

Some develop an uncontrollable cough, though. A few others experience something called angioedema, which can be life threatening. In this condition, the tissues of the face, especially the lips, tongue and throat, swell and may block the ability to

breathe. Angioedema can also occur in the abdomen, causing intestinal blockage.

Tremor is listed in the prescribing information, but it appears to be quite rare. You are the first person who has told us about experiencing this complication.

We trust you are in touch with your doctor about other ways to control your blood pressure. We offer more information about lisinopril, other medications and nondrug approaches in our eGuide to Blood Pressure Solutions. This online resource is available in the Health eGuides section of PeoplesPharmacy.com.

Q: Does Vicks VapoRub ointment still have the ingredient that kills toenail fungus? I used to work in a nursing home, and the nursing staff rubbed Vicks into the feet, paying special attention to the toes. It definitely cured active nail fungus in some residents who came to us with horrible problems.

A: Vicks VapoRub contains camphor, eucalyptus oil and menthol, along with inactive ingredients including cedarleaf oil, nutmeg oil, petrolatum, thymol and turpentine oil. About 15 years ago, the manufacturer began using synthetic rather than natural camphor, but we haven’t seen any indication that the effect on toenail fungus has changed. Camphor, menthol, thymol and eucalyptus oil are active against five types of fungus that can infect toenails (Phytotherapy Research, April 2003).

Health professionals are often skeptical about such home remedies. However, there is some clinical evidence that Vicks can be helpful against toenail fungus (Journal of the Association of Nurses in AIDS Care, January-February 2016).

Free COVID-19 tests for uninsured

Many uninsured Minnesotans can get tested for COVID-19 at no cost to them during the federal public health emergency, thanks to a new health care option. The state will cover the cost of testing for individuals who apply and meet all of the following conditions: • Be a resident of Minnesota.

• Be a U.S. citizen, U.S. national or lawfully present noncitizen with an immigration status that qualifies for Medical Assistance.

• Provide their Social Security READER number, unless they meet an STAFF exception for not having one.

• Not be enrolled in any other health insurance.

Information can be found on the Minnesota Department of Human Services website at mn.gov/dhs/ health-care-coverage. The site also has information about programs to help Minnesotans having a hard time paying health care bills during the pandemic. Uninsured Minnesotans can print the application for free COVID-19 testing. They can also ask the health care provider administering their COVID-19 test for the application, or call the DHS Health Care Consumer Support team at 651-431-3994 or 800366-5414 to request an application be mailed to them. Applicants will get a notice in the mail with a response to their request.

The 2020 Minnesota Legislature passed a law authorizing this new coverage.

Uninsured Minnesotans looking to get health care coverage have options.

Visit MNsure.org to see if you qualify for low- or no-cost health insurance through MinnesotaCare or Medical Assistance or qualify for a special enrollment period to enroll in private health insurance.

LOCAL NEWS

Couple comes to rescue of Heritage Center When the COVID-19 pandemic hit in March of 2020, the Essentia Duluth Heritage Center faced a seemingly impossible financial challenge. For over a decade the Center had prided itself on running like a business and now, like so many other local businesses, the Center was facing a dire financial future.

The city of Orr hired a progressional grant writer to score a key grant to dedevelop the 27-year-old, 2,500-foot boardwalk for the Mickey Elvenum Bog Walk.

The Essentia Duluth Heritage Center was created to inspire and empower Northland youth to become the best that they can be. And it was in this moment of uncertainty that a northland family stepped up to show leadership and community support in an unprecedented way. Their gift spanning 16 months will carry the operations of the Center through the current pandemic.

The Johnsons have been significant community supporters for more than three decades. In addition to their entrepreneurial efforts, they have also been remarkably generous in financially supporting several nonprofit enterprises in our area.

They have long been impressed by the community’s creation and support of the Heritage Center. They endorse the Center’s mission of citizenship, personal responsibility and community.

Still, it came as a surprise when Pat Francisco, the Center’s Foundation Chair, received a call from Todd Johnson. “He called me out of the blue,” Pat said, “and asked about our organization’s current stress level. I told him, honestly, that it was on yellow and trending to red.”

That was all Todd needed to hear.

“Maybe I can help,” Todd said.

In a moment of nationwide instability and uncertainty, a family in our community has once again stepped up to support the work of the Essentia Duluth Heritage Center, continuing the proud legacy of Jerry DeMeo and the late Dick Loraas.

36 July 16, 2020 DuluthReader.com

“The Essentia Duluth Heritage Center is a community treasure,” said Todd Johnson. “Like so many other businesses impacted by this time, they had expenses that needed to be paid. We thought it was important that someone from our community – someone who has been blessed with the resources to help – step in to do so and help them keep their crucial mission going.”

“The Johnsons saw a community need and they took action,” said Pat. “They acted on their love of this community and its care for our children. “We sincerely thank the Johnsons for their charitable leadership at such a critical time.”

The Johnsons, in their crucial support of the work of the Essentia Duluth Heritage Center, are a reallife example of the words of Franklin Roosevelt when he said “we cannot always build a future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future.”

Orr earns grant to redevelop bog walk

The City of Orr used an Application Fund grant from Iron Range Resources & Rehabilitation to hire a professional grant writer who successfully secured a $186,000 grant through the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources to redevelop the 2,500-foot Mickey Elverum Bog Walk in Orr. The Bog Walk leads visitors onehalf mile through an ash bog to the shoreline of Pelican River. It attracts an estimated 24,000 visits annually,

including school and senior groups, hikers, bikers and environmental enthusiasts. The raised boardwalk was created in 1993 and needs major redevelopment. Renovation is scheduled to be completed June 2021.

The Application Fund grant assists communities and nonprofits with the costs of preparing and applying for a grant that can produce innovative economic growth. Preparing an effective grant proposal, identifying funding sources and navigating the application process can be costly and requires technical expertise to which small communities often do not have access. The Application Fund grant helps communities pay for experienced grant writers who have that expertise.

“Orr is a model example of how the Application Fund can improve communities in our region,” said Whitney Ridlon, Iron Range Resources & Rehabilitation community development representative. “Orr hired a very knowledgeable grant writer to apply for the DNR funding to renovate a regional treasure that is part of our tourism industry and quality of life.

When DNR awarded the grant, our agency also matched it with a grant from our Regional Trails program.”

For Application Fund grant information email Whitney Ridlon or call her at 218-735-3004. For Regional Trails grant information email Jim Plummer or call him at 218-274-7006.

COVID-19 cancels Duluth Oktoberfestival

The Duluth Oktoberfestival will wait until 2021 to host the celebration of German culture again after holding its inaugural event at Bayfront Festival Park in 2019.

“With the current restrictions in place on outdoor entertainment in the State of Minnesota due to covid-19 we are unable to offer an authentic experience that meets the expectations of our guests and our brand this year”, said Ryan Kern, president of Kern and Kompany Marketing and Special Events.

Event organizers shared that they look forward to celebrating German heritage with music, dancing, games, food and beverages reflective of the culture at an authentic multigenerational event safe for the entire family in 2021.

Next year’s event is scheduled for September 17-19, 2021, at Bayfront Festival Park in Duluth, Minn.

No refunds or rainchecks will be

issued for the event as tickets for 2020 had not gone on sale to the public at the time of the announcement.

Cameron Stocke has best time in Park Point 5-Miler

Duluth, Inc. was thrilled to keep northern Minnesota’s oldest road race tradition running strong, as they were able to host their first in-person event of the year yesterday at the 49th annual Park Point 5-Miler/2-Mile Walk.

Participants had the opportunity to select from multiple times to run/ walk the in-person event or they could choose to race virtually. A field of 234 participants participated in the in-person five-mile event, and 30 participants completed the two-mile walk event.

There was also a virtual option to complete the Park Point 5-Miler/2-Mile Walk. This option allowed participants to complete their race at any time and location during the July 13–17 timeframe.

Currently, there are 156 runners and 22 walkers that have uploaded their virtual finisher time.

Cameron Stocke, 15, of Mountain Iron, Minn., came in first place in the

in-person version of the Park Point 5-Miler with a time of 27 minutes and 20 seconds. Last year he ran the event in 29:03.

Melissa Gacek, 44, of White Bear Lake, Minn., was the first female finisher of the in-person version with a time of 31:01.

Meanwhile, Herb Dillon, 72, of Duluth, was the first finisher in the in-person 2-Mile Walk with a time of 23:25. Melody Schwoch, 32, of Mahtowa, Minn., was the first female finisher with a time of 24:45.

Net proceeds from the events benefit the Young Athletes Foundation (YAF), a Grandma’s Marathon program focused on the promotion and development of healthy and active lifestyles for youth.

Since its inception in 1990, the YAF has contributed more than $1,100,000 to area youth athletic organizations.

Don a mask, Mr. Trump President Donald Trump broke the law July 15, landing at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport and greeting people without wearing a mask. Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms told MSNBC, “Donald Trump is actually violating the law, as he stands on our tarmac without a mask.”

The mayor, her husband and one of their children are at home, diagnosed with COVID-19. Trump’s dismissal of masks is a signature of his misrule, driving the catastrophic public health nightmare raging across the United States.

Trump’s pandemic response has been cynical and deadly. While predicting that the pandemic will just “go away,” he has failed to set an example by simply wearing a mask.

He and his partisan disciples, like Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey, all proudly reject commonsense steps that would save lives. Thanks to Trump, America is now unquestionably No. 1 in the world – No. 1, that is, in the number of COVID-19 infections and deaths, with no end in sight.

Trump publicly donned a mask last weekend at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, with a phalanx of masked military officers.

It was an appropriate venue for Trump’s only public mask-wearing to date. Maj. Walter Reed was an Army surgeon credited with proving, in 1900, that mosquitoes transmit yellow fever, a deadly epidemic disease that had plagued humanity for at least 200 years. Reed’s scientific evidence led to simple preventive measures, like the use of mosquito netting, that effectively contained yellow fever.

More than a century later, the federal response to COVID-19 is being driven not by science but by Trump. The prognosis is not good.

“I do think the fall and the winter of 2020 and 2021 are going to be probably one of the most difficult times that we’ve experienced in

DEMOCRACY

American public health,” Robert Redfield, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said Tuesday.

Redfield co-authored an editorial in The Journal of the American Medical Association calling for universal masking.

“The public needs consistent, clear and appealing messaging that normalizes community masking,” they write. “Broad adoption of cloth face coverings is a civic duty, a small sacrifice.”

Trump has been providing consistent messaging, only it has been entirely wrong.

In Tulsa, Oklahoma, at his first campaign rally since the pandemic began, Trump refused to wear a mask, like most at the event. Campaign staffers and Secret Service agents tested positive soon after.

Several weeks later, Oklahoma reported a record spike in COVID-19 cases, now including Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt, the first U.S. governor to test positive. He, too, was maskless at the rally. So was former Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain, an African American cancer survivor in his 70s. He contracted COVID-19 and has been hospitalized for weeks.

The Color of Coronavirus data project reports that the COVID-19 mortality rate for African Americans is about 2.3 times as high as the rate for white Americans.

A University of Washington model predicts that near-universal mask-wearing could save up to

38 July 16, 2020 DuluthReader.com

28,000 lives in the U.S. before Oct. 1.

Hand hygiene, social distancing and extensive testing, tracing and isolation of COVID-19-positive individuals would save more lives.

We are more than five months into the pandemic. It is hard to believe shortages of tests and personal protective equipment still persist.

Dr. Ali Khan is an epidemiologist at the University of Nebraska, formerly, at the CDC, in charge of the strategic national stockpile of emergency medical supplies. “I believe all of government has blood on their hands -- 136,000 deaths, preventable deaths, a tragedy,” he said on the Democracy Now! news hour.

“In countries that were successful, each and every politician, regardless of their party, followed the science,” he continued. “Everybody

said, ‘Wear masks.’ No controversy.

Everybody wore a mask. They got their disease under control. We need to see that again right now at every political level – local, state, national. We need everybody to be wearing a mask.”

Trump pulled the Republican National Convention from Charlotte, after North Carolina’s Democratic governor refused permission to hold a massive indoor rally without attendees wearing masks or social distancing. The late August convention is now slated for Jacksonville, Florida, where COVID-19 cases are surging. “There’s consideration being given to having the convention in an outdoor setting,” Vice President Mike Pence conceded to reporters. Jacksonville’s mayor is now in self-quarantine, and an increasing number of prominent Republican senators are skipping the RNC. Donald Trump said he wore a mask at Walter Reed because it was a hospital. He should view the entire country as a hospital, follow the science and impose a national mask mandate. Thousands of Americans could be saved from needless suffering and death.

A good idea until...

Unless you seldom stir from safe surroundings I’d be confident you have experienced the human predicament of seeing a good notion go bad.

Profanity is apt to appear as the galling scene sputters into “Why didn’t I see that?”

Prime question as walls tumble or pot boils uncontrollably over (two meaningful allusions set in historic and cultural settings that might render you suspect for knowing them, so be cautious).

Good or even grand plans not working out is anything but rare. That’s why a second opinion or outside review is useful. It’s also why a functioning two-party system is an effective way to eliminate kinks or in some cases prevent a bad plan from entering reality.

Heaven save us from single-minded consensus.

I learned the worth of other’s insight by making solo blunders. Afterward asking someone who’d “been there, done that,” my errors in design and execution seemed clear. Less clear was whether I’d remember to think thrice and get input before setting off.

Of course I’ve not always been prudent in planning, but much to the good some of my worthier missteps gave neighbors topics and enjoyment good for years to come.

“What did he do this time?”

“Did you see that?”

These are things that have followed me for my entire adult life because I have been slow to grasp a basic truth.

Bad ideas often look worthy as good ones. Stupid plans are masters of artful disguise, often aided by PR folk whose job it is to make bad plans look golden.

Treasure troves of well-intended aims can be found in use of “peaceful” as a universal salve for doubt. The right-thinking mind applies peaceful as a form of free pass. That is until peacefulness begins trampling their toes.

Gentle aggression (like seduction) is acceptable only so far as it should be easier to halt, if you’ve the will to do so. Someone can peacefully get into your online account or peaceably hot wire your car in the night. Each such peaceful act is an assault on an individual.

Self-sopping with thoughts that no blood or bruises were involved as you

hoof it to work the next morning is self-deception at its charming best.

If we don’t recognize things for what they are and do we can soon be in a position where we applaud “Isn’t it wonderful to live where you can be robbed by gentle persons respectful of your dignity.”

It is equally bizarre and off function to hear it’s a form of violence to objecting to being unforcibly stripped of rights or property.

Ah, but aren’t people more important than mere property?

Try that theory out when it’s minus 20 and someone leaves you shoeless in a field or its blistering hot and you’re deprived of water.

Property in some form is necessary.

Without the property of a cup our morning coffee is hot brown water on the floor. Property does matter to people, and slow motion violence can have the same result as its speedier form.

In my view a special danger in the present is criminalizing disagreement or critical dissent.

The Middle East is often in turmoil because religious groups see crime in criticizing dogma and in not practicing the state religion which also regulates eating and sex. Whether it is a religion or a secular state imposing its view the result is tyranny.

Are you criminal for saying “I don’t believe that,” or worse a hate-criminal saying “and I don’t like it as well”?

A proposal can seem reasonable, conciliatory, and socially constructive but turn out to be a nightmare of trouble.

Take the progressive sounding concept of community policing.

In that situation what, then is the standard used? Not long ago some cabs at the Twin Cities airport refused to carry passengers who had liquor with them. That’s an example of a community standard.

Do we want law and enforcement based on a broad public standard or on the wishes of a particular community wanting to expand the scope of its local control?

Community policing means enforcement of standards that should not apply in a public setting. It is a bread-and-butter cause for those who eagerly seek their private standards of speech or dress applied to situations

where the public is served.

Community policing takes what was intended as a reasonable accommodation and turns it into behavioral mandates.

Any relationship or social bond can be weakened or destroyed by a steady flow of resentful criticism. Try snapping at those you love or work with. See what happens. Even a loyal dog will learn to distrust and avoid a bitter companion.

A mobile, diverse, successful multicultural and globalist society is about more than new food options and opportunity for exotic travel. But all the results aren’t positive.

Heaven and Earth. Some believe in the possibility of paradise after death.

Others believe in having their paradise on earth. Both ideas carry equal dangers.

Masks are what people wear so they don’t give what they don’t have to strangers who don’t want it.

If good citizenship wrinkles down to the style, color and wording on masks we might not end up any better off than the days of robes, gowns and guild attire declaring status and station like a fixed human condition.

White House hints at response to Milwaukee protests

By Rich Kremer President Donald Trump’s administration says it will roll out a plan to ensure communities like Milwaukee are safe amid continued anti-racism protests. The news comes after reports of federal agents, who were not wearing insignia, ventured beyond federal properties to detain protesters without offering cause.

In a Sunday appearance on Fox News, White House Chief Staff Mark Meadows said U.S. Attorney General William Barr and Acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf would announce a plan for federal officers to move beyond protecting statues and other federal property in cities marked by protests and civil unrest.

“And you’ll see something rolled out this week as we start to go in and make sure that the communities, whether it’s Chicago or Portland or Milwaukee or someplace across the heartland of the country, we need to make sure that our communities are safe,” said Meadows.

Meadows was critical of unrest in U.S. cities, particularly Portland, over the weekend saying, “it’s just not acceptable when you look at communities not being safe and not upholding the rule of law.”

The Milwaukee Police Department said in a statement it “did not request federal assistance as it relates to patrolling protests and is unaware of any federal agents coming to Milwaukee regarding. MPD will continue to protect and serve the

Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett released a statement saying that “with few exceptions, protests in Milwaukee have been peaceful.”

“It is preposterous to suggest Milwaukee needs federal agents to quell unrest or manage peaceful protests,” said Barrett. “Their presence at this time could be counterproductive.”

WPR reached out to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Customs and Border Patrol, Governor Tony Evers and the Milwaukee Police Association for reactions to Meadow’s mention of Wisconsin’s largest city. None of the individuals or organizations

responded to interview requests.

Larry Dupuis is the legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Wisconsin. He said his office has not heard about plans for similar federal police presence in Milwaukee. But he cited reports out of Chicago for 150 DHS agents to deploy in Chicago without a clear scope of duty as reason to take Meadows mention of Milwaukee seriously.

“The behavior of the federal agents in Portland is the main reason for concern,” said Dupuis. “I mean, they have been apparently roving far from federal facilities where they were supposedly sent to provide some protection for federal facilities and picking up people off the street and detaining them without telling them why they’re being detained for no apparent reason in some cases.”

Dupuis said reports from Portland suggest federal officers are going in with “a very confrontational approach” in spite of resistance from local authorities.

On July 17, Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum announced she would file a lawsuit in federal court against DHS alleging their agents engaged in unlawful conduct and violating civil rights of Oregonians. Rosenblum cited an incident on July 12 of a peaceful protester who was “severely injured” after being struck in the head

with an “impact weapon” fired by federal agents.

She said another instance happened on July 16 when an unmarked minivan with federal agents wearing unmarked military uniforms forcibly detained a citizen walking on a sidewalk.

Dupuis called the reports out of Portland deeply concerning and said the detention, in particular, “looks like illegal behavior.”

“And, you know, the kind of disappearing of people that, you know, is more likely to happen in a banana republic than what you would think of happening in the United States,” Dupuis said.

On Sunday, the Department of Homeland Security issued a press release defending its actions titled Backgrounder: Day 50 of Continued Violence in Portland. It describes violent assaults on federal officers on Saturday night and early Sunday morning as a “siege.”

The release also referred to “violent anarchists” ten times, when describing tactics used by the crowd against officers that night. DHS said federal officers were barricaded inside a federal courthouse, had laser pointers and “commercial grade” fireworks shot at them, and that officers’ lodging information was published.

Marquette Law School Assistant Professor Ed Fallone, who ran for Wisconsin Supreme Court in 2013, said using federal officers to protect federal property is not unusual but reports of federal agents detaining people in areas away from federal buildings is.

“This is not the sort of precedent we want to set in our country,” said Fallone. “Outside of matters of federal jurisdiction such as anti-terrorism efforts, for example, law enforcement within our borders has always been a local state concern. And it’s absolutely unusual and troubling to see the Trump administration view these federal agents as some sort of ad hoc police force that they can send wherever they want around the country.”

On Monday, President Trump said he would send more federal law enforcement personnel to cities seeing unrest. He mentioned New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Detroit and Baltimore.

Nesting chickadees

Baby chickadees poop immediately after being fed, but happily it’s packaged neatly in a fecal sac that makes waste removal an easy process for Mom and Dad. Photos by Emily Stone.

My tires crunched on gravel as I turned into the parking area along the Namekagon River. Right on cue, a black-capped chickadee darted across the clearing and dove into a boundary post with a ragged top. Seconds later, it emerged and vanished.

A friend had tipped me off to the location of this nest, and I’d finally stolen a moment to check it out.

Chickadees are my CONNECTIONS favorite birds! I parked away from the nest, at a distance that I thought would work for taking photos without interfering. But I couldn’t resist a sneak peek first. As long as the young aren’t so old that they’ll fledge prematurely, a quick look at a nest does not usually cause harm, but I didn’t take this invasion of their personal space lightly.

Peering down the tube of rotten wood, topped with mosses and redtipped lichens, I found five orange mouths with yellow rims aiming up at me. No parent could miss seeing those targets, even in a dark cavity. A smattering of scraggly feathers were visible, as well as a rim of grassylooking nest material. Having gathered that data, I quickly backed away.

A loud chickadee-dee call stopped me in my tracks, and I scanned the nearby shrubs. Chick-a-dee-DEE it called again, and this time I spotted the adult bird perched among the leaves. Its mouth was full. I quickly snapped a few photos before retreating

to my car – the official wildlife blind for birders.

As I settled in, my phone chimed.

It was a text from my sister-in-law, inviting me to a party to celebrate my oldest nephew’s high school graduation. My how time flies!

Turning back to my camera, I zoomed in on the photos I’d just taken. One green caterpillar, one brown larva, and a leggy spider were crammed into the chickadee’s little beak. The caterpillar dangled like a piece of wayward spaghetti. This is typical baby food for chickadees.

In fact, Doug Tallamy, author of Bringing Nature Home: How You Can Sustain Wildlife with Native Plants, has calculated that a single family of chickadees will eat between 6,000 and 9,000 caterpillars in a single summer.

That’s a lot of free pest control! While the seeds in your feeder are fine for adult chickadees, the growing chicks need higher quality food. Caterpillars contain more protein than beef.

During the first five days of a chickadee’s life, spiders are an especially important baby food, because they contain high levels of the amino acid known as taurine.

Essential for brain development, taurine promotes visual acuity, overall intelligence, and resistance to anxiety in mammals.

Initial experiments with chickadees’ cousins demonstrated a connection to bold behavior and good problem solving skills – which are integral parts of chickadee personality.

It only took a few minutes of my social distancing before the parent with the beak full swooped in to the nest. Slow to click the shutter, all I caught was a blurred tail as the bird

Baby food for black-capped chickadees includes spiders to support brain development, and several thousand caterpillars over the course of a summer. dove stealthily into the post.

For the next three days I popped in on my way home from work to watch the parents in action – never leaving my car. I brought a tripod, and even took some videos.

I began to notice patterns in their behavior. First there would be movement in the closest tree, and then a call. If I heard their chick-a-dee-dee alarm call, it might be several minutes before the parent would deliver their mouthful to the nest. But their “hey sweetie” song, also used for attracting mates, seemed to be the all-clear.

Within seconds of singing that song, the parent would swoop in to the nest.

Usually they dove like the underdog in an action movie, with a recklessness that made me cringe.

A few times, though, the busy parent perched on the edge of the post to look around, and possibly to show off the impressive bouquet of colorful bugs clamped tightly in their beak.

Their exit from the nest was a little less rushed, and often the parent would perch for a few seconds as if catching their breath. Often on the way out they’d have a little brown and white blob in their beak.

This membrane-wrapped fecal sac is a natural end to all the bugs that went in, conveniently packaged by the chick’s own digestive tract for easy removal.

If that sounds like a brilliant idea to you, well, it is. Chickadees rate high on the scale of bird IQ. You know that large, adorable head that makes them so cute? It holds a brain twice the size of other birds in the same weight range.

After leaving town for the weekend, I was eager to return and check on

“my” chicks. Pulling in, I immediately noticed new splinters peeling away from the post. Did something get them? I rushed over to peek in.

The tops of five, sleek, black-andwhite heads were outlined in the dark. I left as quickly and quietly as I’d come, and never figured out who attacked the post.

Once chicks are almost ready to fledge, they may leave the nest prematurely when disturbed, and face an even more dismal survival rate than normal. Luckily, they stuck tight.

But, four days later, they were gone.

Hopefully they fledged and are now hidden in the bushes, still begging for food.

Anyone who’s watched a nest full of baby birds knows how thrilling it is to see them develop quickly from squawking, scraggly things into fluffy fledglings and then sleek young adults.

Humans aren’t so different. The 18 years I’ve spent watching my nephew become an adult now seem just as short as my ten days of chickadees.

Both birds and boys have big heads with big brains, and lots of curiosity.

Despite those similarities, the differences are many. For one, my sister-in-law hates spiders and will be glad to learn that she escaped using them as baby food. On the other hand, chickadees might really be on to something with the way those spiders come out the other end.

Rare second new moon in Cancer

The ancient Greeks believed that the world had a bellybutton that should be marked and celebrated as the center of the universe. In order to find the navel of the world, the gods sent two eagles flying in opposite directions at equal speeds. Delphi was where the birds met in the middle, and there the Omphalos rock was placed. Under this rare second new moon in homey Cancer, mark and celebrate the center of your world.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). To try to get rid of the bad and replace it with good – that’s fine in theory, but it won’t work. But if you see everything as its own particular mixed bag, you’ll have success. Maximize benefits. Ignore deficits to whatever extent you can.

Don’t take on too many problems or the problems will start seeking you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). A strong feeling will occur to you as the finger of fate, poking you into your next move. The advanced question: How much of this is your mind creating to satisfy what your ego wants? Bringing as much honesty as possible into you-to-you conversations will have enormous benefits, which include a sparkling clarity of being.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). An object will intrigue you. You will be moved not only by the look of it but also by its implications. A story starts to form in your mind as you wonder about the history and hidden properties of the thing. Herein lies the root of pleasure and desire and maybe the start of a quest to learn and to obtain.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Opinions are never false, nor can they be true, because the evidence exists in

the opinion holder’s mind. You’ll base your next move not on your feelings about it, nor on the opinions you hold, but on the empirical evidence that suggests what is likely to result from your choice. Science will steer you right.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Each person resonates around a particular feeling or group of feelings. People are generally good at experiencing and enacting those emotions they know best. You have your set of comfortable emotions, though this week you’re looking to make a change and start feeling something else – and a lot more of it, for that matter!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22). There will be a lack of consensus among your group on how the job at hand should be approached, or even what exactly the job at hand should be. That’s fine because half the fun is using the executive function of your brain to find the points of agreement and then figure out the next best steps forward.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There’s much you will witness this week, and you are wise not to provide an immediate, straightforward reaction.

You don’t owe anyone an explanation.

Besides, it benefits you to process things first. Also, there’s power and mystery in letting people wait a bit for your answers. Anyone rushing you is suspect.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Knowing more about a person helps you better appreciate the experience of your relationship. Predicting what the person will do and planning your next move becomes more than just a reaction. Spend more time and thought with it and this becomes a

dance, a language and, ultimately, an art form.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

Dreams can follow terrible a story structure. Their beginnings are often foggy, and they can roll on and on, making no sense whatsoever. But if there’s one thing you can count on, it’s that they all end in the same way — with you awake. This week follows the path of dreams, and you’ll be elevated by how it wakes you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You feel you have been placed in a world that spins gloriously outside of you and your control. As for the world on the inside of you, it was not placed, so much as born in you when you sat, empty. The small spark happened and is continuing to come together both with and without your hand.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). There’s

a cost to every relationship. Often the buy-in is your agreement to a story. In this week’s case, it’s your relationship to the other person’s story or the story of the relationship. There are things to ignore, points to focus on and elements to be believed even though they are not objectively believable. Chalk it up to the things you do for love.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll experiment with different approaches and attitudes. In one instance, you’ll change the external conditions to better match the scenario you’ve built in your head. In another situation, you’ll work with the conditions you are dealt and, by directing your thinking differently, change your experience of them.

Welcome back!

We are looking forward to bringing you the finest possible movie theatre experience. But first, let’s talk about safety. We are implementing some changes to help make your visit as safe and comfortable as possible. The West Theatre’s plan meets, and, in some cases, exceeds the Governor’s guidelines for safe reopening practices.

CLEANING • Our dedicated team has always had a great reputation for maintaining a very clean theatre, and now we are implementing even more rigorous cleaning practices. All customer contact surfaces will be disinfected before and after the start of each show, and regularly throughout the day. Hand sanitizer is available throughout the theatre.

MASK POLICY • Masks are required at The West Theatre, both in the lobby and in all lounges, aisles and restrooms, and the auditorium itself, except when you are eating or drinking in the auditorium. All employees will wear masks, and gloves when appropriate. If you forget to bring yours, we’ll set you up with a disposable mask.

TEMPERATURE CHECKS • Using contact-free infrared thermometers, we’re going to take the temperature of our staff and guests daily upon arrival. Anyone with a temperature exceeding 100.4 degrees will be asked to return at a later date.

• Daily before they begin work, team members will undergo a wellness check.

• Please stay home if you are feeling sick. If you are coughing, sneezing or suspect you may have been exposed, please don’t risk it. We’ll gladly refund your purchase.

E.T. & 1917

JURASSIC PARK REOPENING JULY 17

SOCIAL DISTANCING • The West Theatre’s spacious auditorium is ideal for ensuring proper social distancing. We are closing every other row of seats, and when you choose your seats on thewesttheatre.com, at least two “buffer seats” on either side of your party will be automatically blocked off from purchase. Your group should be able to sit together, and we are limiting total capacity to about 25%. We strongly recommend advance reservations to ensure admittance.

• To minimize crowded walkways and restrooms, we ask that guests remain seated after the movie ends and exit row by row. (If you’d like to stay to watch the credits, feel free).

LAST BUT NOT LEAST • Credit cards are the preferred form of payment.

• Our menu at reopening may be limited, with a focus on items we love, served in a way which minimizes exposure.

• It’s an unusual time, and we expect release schedules to continually shift.

• Want a private screening for just your family, friends or colleagues? We can make it happen – and it’s more affordable than you think. Get in touch with us and reserve your event now.

Please check our website for the most up-to-date information.

NHL Stanley Cup qualifying round thoughts ST. PAUL – Who would have thought, but the NHL Stanley Cup qualifying round is set to commence on Saturday. Aug. 1, and friends, that’s not too far away!

I am really looking forward to this tournament as I have thoroughly tired of watching sports reruns and the like on the myriad of TV channels offering such.

Just this weekend though I did see a PBA live tournament, the 2020 Tour Finals, of course, with no fans in attendance.

And since I literally grew up across the street from a bowling alley as an enterprising youngster on West 7th in my beloved St. Paul, I still have a deep affinity for the sport. It gets maligned often, but for those that place it into a negative light, I’d like to see you go out and do what the great men and women bowling professionals do out on tour.

Yeah, not that easy is it!

As I write I have on today’s card at Saratoga Springs albeit with no sound at the moment. They have resumed the equine race season there, (w/o fans) and as many who know me can attest, I love horse racing.

My daughter Chelsey is actually the equestrian in the family but she doesn’t care for racing. She says it is too abusive on the horses. I can’t say she is totally incorrect, but I know those in the business go to great lengths to care for these beautiful athletes.

My summer vacation for the year was wiped out when the pandemic came about, but I was going to travel to New York to spend a few days at Saratoga Park, and then was going to drop down to Pennsylvania to take in the championship weekend of the Little League World Series. Perhaps I’ll be able to do so next summer if life here ever regains some semblance of normalcy.

So, the NHL Phase 3 of preparation for the tourney is in full swing and it hasn’t been without some missteps.

Some players have tested positive for the COVID virus, but none have developed full blown cases, that I know of.

On the other hand, the league does have a gag order on that and any other physical maladies that have arisen while training. A little bit of info tends

to leak out here and there, but not very much.

And as I mentioned recently, there are some clubs that will be returning some very important players to their rosters who were on the IR at the time play was suspended, so in accounting for their return, it will be of interest to see which of those can have what type of impact on their teams chances in the tourney.

To remind fans who don’t know as of yet or who haven’t studied how this tourney will be held, there will be 12 teams from each conference involved.

Teams determined to be in the 5-12th positions enter into the qualifying round, which will be Best of 5 series with the winners advancing to the “first round.”

The top 4 teams from each conference will compete in a threegame “round robin” format that will determine the seeding for each of them when the qualifying round winners are determined.

All games in the qualifying round will be held under SC tournament rules and all tilts in the round robin portion will be conducted under regular season rules. That is a reflection that the regular season didn’t have a natural conclusion and to make a fair accommodation for playoff seeding purposes for all teams as a result.

With this format in place, when the first round does begin, it will start with 16 clubs, as an SC tourney normally would begin with.

In considering the qualifying round portion of the Eastern Conference, those four series will feature – the

New York Rangers versus the Carolina Hurricanes; the Florida Panthers will take on the New York Islanders; the Montreal Canadiens (Les Habitants) will mix it up with the Pittsburgh Penguins; and then, finally, the Columbus Bluejackets will lock horns with the Toronto Maple Leafs.

To be considered, at the time this tourney begins, the teams will have been off of “live” games for 4½ months. I can see some benefits but also see some potential setbacks.

The players will be fresh and relaxed, injured players return, and full rosters will be mostly available.

Are the “younger” teams more prepared to go right off the bat?

Are the older teams going to need time to pull their game back together, thus making them vulnerable in the QR? These are valid questions and it will be interesting to see what the answers are.

For the NYR and the Canes matchup, at the time of the suspension of play both the Canes #1 and #2 netminders were injured. They’ll be back.

As far as everyday lineup players go, the Rangers will have all hands on deck. The Canes are consistent at home or on the road while the Rangers were slightly better on the road. That won’t matter in a tourney with no “home” games or fans.

The NYR played with some significant juice at times in the season; the Canes were more “steady eddy” in their game.

When it gets down to brass tacks, I like the NYR in goal a bit more, with

47 July 23, 2020 DuluthReader.com

a slight edge in star power at forward.

I’m leaning NYR here.

For FLA and the Isles?

The Panthers score more, the Isles team defense is better. Coach Q versus Coach Trotz? A virtual tossup in my book.

The X factor in this series is going to be residing between the pipes for the Panthers. If Sergei Bobrovsky has his A+ game going, FLA will advance from this series. If he doesn’t, and the Isles can check the FLA scoring, they’ll take this series. It’s FLA’s star power against the Isles grinders. I’m going FLA. Yikes! The Habs and the Pens.

Pitt is obviously the better “team.”

However, the Habs have one of the best tenders’ to put the pads on the past 13 seasons in Carey Price. He has had his challenges in the recent past, but I’d say that has to do with who is playing in front of him as well as some wear and tear issues. The Pens don’t need me to pump their tires and the Habs will need a bit of good fortune to advance. But if Price is hot and they steal Game One, don’t be surprised if the Pens don’t get untracked. Pens win this series.

And, finally, we have the CBJ and the Leafs. A hardcore veteran coach against an up-and-coming NHL rookie. Torts and Keefe.

On the ice I’d say the CBJ have more grit and playoff moxy going for them.

The young Leafs haven’t fully found a team defensive game yet. Their stars may still be too young to know what it takes to win a playoff round in this league. CBJ advance.

More next week! PEACE

Baseball starts, NHL resumes If it’s the last week in July, it must be time for Major League Baseball to start up, followed immediately by the start of the National Hockey League playoffs. What a bizarre year!

We are looking for big things from the Twins, who will play one exhibition game against Colorado, then go to Chicago to face the Cubs once, and get serious by taking on the Chicago White Sox in a real series.

Real, that is, if you don’t think fans in the stands are necessary to make baseball real.

With the Covid-19 shutdowns all over the world, however, we are fortunate to have real ballgames in real stadiums, brought to us by real

broadcasters – even if they won’t be at the games, but will be back at Target Field, watching the game on satellite just like you and I will, and giving us their take on what we’re watching.

But the Twins are loaded, adding to their record-breaking home run forces with the acquisition of Josh Donaldson, who will play third base, giving Miguel Sano a better chance to stay healthy by moving to first base full time.

If the pitching staff’s young lions come through, the Twins could be a force in the shortened 60-game season, which turns the marathon baseball season into a sprint.

The Minnesota Wild also will be starting up next week, facing Colorado on July 29 and then starting an incredibly interesting playoff structure that begins in Edmonton for the West and Toronto for the East.

The way it’s set up, it is like one final week of a hotly competitive regular season, which was halted by the virus

pandemic in early March. This way, all teams within striking distance of the 16-team playoffs will be allowing those fringe teams – like the Wild – a chance to make the field.

So after the long delay and a short gathering, the teams begin play with three games a day next Saturday.

The Wild will be paired against Vancouver in a best-of-5 series that starts with games on Sunday, Aug. 2, and then Tuesday, Aug. 4, and then gets a little crazy in order to get in all the games in the shortest possible time.

We will all be tuned in for those games on satellite from Edmonton. The series with Vancouver should be swift and exciting – especially if the Wild’s new official coach, Dean Evason, finds his new line combinations can produce goals on a consistent basis.

We trust the goaltending and defense, and up front, Evason tried a first line of Eric Staal centering Kevin Fiala and Jordan Greenway and liked the early chemistry. Staal has become the team’s best forward, and we all were amazed by how Fiala, a late acquisition in this still unfinished season, blossomed suddenly.

Fiala looked like something of an add-on, maybe a fourth liner, and then suddenly he scored, and I can’t recall any player making a more complete turnaround, often being the best player in game after game, with spectacular plays, deceptive skating and stick handling, and firing the puck into the net. The Wild need scoring desperately, so the more youthful observers can be excused for getting so excited over Fiala’s play and calling him the team’s top forward.

When Evason took over for Brian Boudreau, he gave Fiala a chance, built his confidence, and can take credit for turning him into a positive force who is capable of leading the Wild from mudpack to the role of contender.

Especially in a season like this.

Playing with Staal, Fiala makes a potent 1-2 punch, and if Greenway, the team’s biggest forward, can emerge and play with physical force, he could complement that line and wind up scoring more than anybody has anticipated.

If the Wild can get past Vancouver, they go into the actual 16-team Stanley Cup Playoffs after all the teams play to determine seeding.

We have no idea who the next opponent would be. I am convinced that ageless Mikko Koivu, still the captain, will be the best fourth-line center in hockey and that alone gives the Wild a large boost. And if Zach Parise can get on one of his famous hot streaks, the sky is the limit.

DuluthReader.com

A word of caution, however: The Vancouver Canucks are an up-andcoming team, with some impressive young players, and they are fun to watch by an adoring fan base – which will be absent during the games in Edmonton.

The point is, the Wild are in position to knock out the Canucks immediately, but Wild fans should also be aware that their season extension could be over within one week.

We will trust UMD’s contributions to help the Wild get by, with goaltender Alex Stalock, and giant defenseman Carson Soucy, who had by far the team’s best plus-minus statistics playing behind the flashier names on the top two units. Completely healed for the restart, Soucy could be a major force stopping opponents and getting the puck out of the zone.

So we go from zero sports to the rush of interest in TV-only for the start of Major League Baseball and the climactic conclusion to the unended NHL season, all in one week’s time.

pastimes, which is shooting photos of events I cover. When I tried to submit them to the Reader, they wouldn’t go! So after wasting several hours in that futile attempt, we ended up with just one, a pretty good action shot of the top two Trans-Am2 drivers going through the fastest corner side by side. Then, nothing.

Several days later I noticed that when I went to charge my camera battery, the tiny disc that stores the shots was ajar. That caused my photos to become videos, which wouldn’t transmit properly. The camera also has a switch to delete all those photos I’ve moved to my computer, and the only good news is that I found the automatic delete was foiled by the partly disconnected disc. So, better late than never, I’m sending in a few more to show a spinout by Scott Borchetta that led to a restart on which Mike Skeen pulled away to beat

Thomy Merrill, with Dylan Archer – son of Bobby Archer, one of Duluth’s legendary Archer Brothers team stalwarts now transplanted to Texas.

Also, a couple shots show secondfeature winner Tony Drissy’s Camaro, who won handily for his first victory of the season, while Amy Ruman was second in a stylish Corvette, and Simon Gregg was third, driving a Jim Derhaag Racing Camaro.

The reason for reconnecting with that race is that there has been no other print coverage around here except from the Reader, and since the race, BIR has announced that its huge NHRA Nationals in mid-August have been canceled, along with another NHRA victim of the pandemic. An advance warning is that we won’t look for coverage of that event, either.

Even in the Reader!

Races come and go Weird scene at BIR for the Trans-Am a week ago. We enjoyed the unique everybody-in-free atmosphere as BIR owner Kristi Copham put on an amazing show. The Trans-Am’s two 100mile features were the prime attraction a week ago Sunday, but all the rest of the road-racing classes were in action too, and a full schedule of drag racers competed on the adjacent strip.

What surprised me is that with all the media attention the race’s unique social-spacing plan had – fans entering free, then staying in their cars and watching the races from there – the media coverage was strange and sparse.

I saw tiny film clips on Duluth television sports Sunday night, but I saw nothing in the Minneapolis Star Tribune listing any results, after columnist Pat Reusse made his debut to the track for a highly entertaining column, in which he took a ride around the track with Kristi Copham. Then, nothing. Nobody covered it, and the paper apparently didn’t even have a call-in arranged.

Same with the Duluth News-Tribune, although that paper was caught up in the adjustment of dropping from seven days a week to two, and their SaturdayWednesday print schedule made it easy to overlook a Sunday race.

Meanwhile, your intrepid Reader reporter-columnist-photographer had a great time at the track, although getting results met with a somewhat terse “they’ll be online,” when I asked. I tried online several times before succeeding.

Are you, too, a stable genius?

Trump says he aced this cognitive test. Can you?

Trump bragged last week to Fox News host Sean Hannity that he “aced” the cognitive exam given to him and claimed that doctors told him, “That’s an unbelievable thing.

Rarely does anyone do what you just did.”

Perhaps our Commander in chief is unaware that anyone can go on the World wide Web and download the Montreal Cognitive Assessment that he “aced.”

The exam is a tool for assessing people for dementia, and is designed to take 10 to 12 minutes to complete. A perfect score is 30 points, and a score of 26 or higher is considered normal.

Trump took the test in 2018, even though he told Hannity he took the test “very recently” but didn’t specify.

Trump, of course, lingered on how well he had done on the test, and then suggested Biden should take it as well, implying that his Democratic opponent would not be able to ace it.

“He should take the same exact test, a very standard test,” Trump said. to which Biden replied he could “hardly wait to compare my cognitive capability to the cognitive capability of the man I’m running against.”

Presidential physician Ronny Jackson claimed Trump requested the 2018 cognitive test, but Jackson also made the ridiculous claim that Trump, who is noticeably overweight and has a terrible diet heavy on fast food and ice cream, was in “excellent” health.

You can take the test at right yourself. For best results, fill out the top portion (with the images of a cube, animals, etc.) and have someone ask you the rest of the questions.

Good luck – but you probably will not need it.

Maybe we should be satisfied that our president is so proud of his test results. At least he didn’t (as far as we know) pay to have someone else take it, as he is alleged to have done with his SAT tests in his niece Mary Trump’s new bestseller Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man.

Learn how to make your own rain barrel On average, Superior receives 30 inches of rain every year. In Superior, this rain falls on rooftops, sidewalks, streets, and yards composed of clay. All of these surfaces are resistant to allowing water to permeate through them.

Where does the 30 inches of water go?

The answer is down storm drains and

ARTS IN BRIEF

ultimately out to Lake Superior.

The only treatment this water might receive is time to allow sediment to settle out in a stormwater treatment pond, otherwise any pollutants that are in the water are flushed right out to Lake Superior.

However if it’s a heavy rain event and the storm drain couldn’t handle the rainwater fast enough, the water could end up in your basement instead.

There are many practices which can help reduce the amount of stormwater flowing down the storm drains. Some options include rain gardens, native plantings and rain barrels.

To help people get started on

collecting their stormwater, the City of Superior teamed up with Douglas County to host a rain barrel construction workshop. This workshop will provide 15 participants with the supplies and instruction of how construct their own rain barrel.

Workshops participants will view a rain barrel assembly demonstration, and then be sent home to construct their own barrel and start collecting rainwater.

The workshop will be held July 29 at Barkers Island at 14 Marina Drive in Superior from 6-7pm, with a rain date of July 30.

All participants must be preregistered, and registration is full.

The City of Superior Water Resources Program Coordinator Andrea Crouse stated, “One square foot of roof collects 0.6 gallons of water from a one-inch rain event. This means that a 1,000 square foot roof would collect about 600 gallons of water from a single oneinch rain event!”

Holding back this rain from rushing toward storm drains is beneficial for flood prevention and protecting the water quality of Lake Superior. Using a rain barrel also provides you with great

water to keep your garden plants alive during the dry times.

How to be a Legendary Teacher Adam Prociv Balboa Press Adam Prociv learned quickly that the energy he exuded in the classroom had a huge impact on the young children he was teaching. In How to be a Legendary Teacher, he explores how educators can inspire students and help them learn, starting with the way they approach each day.

As a teacher, your primary role is to create good energy, which can be as simple as your body language. Ask yourself if you are a teacher you’d enjoy being taught by (and if the answer is no) then do some soul searching. Throughout this guide to being a better teacher, aspiring classroom instructors will learn how to: Spark meaningful conversations among students; Engage students in creative projects that promote learning; Decide if you went into teaching for the right reasons and if you should stay; Navigate the numerous obstacles to teaching.

The teaching game is a process of trial and error, and while some lucky souls have a natural flare for the profession, others don’t. But just like anything in life, success doesn’t necessarily come to those with the most talent but to those with the will and determination to be a legendary teacher.

Pedal Pushers Coast-to-Coast

Marianne Worth Rudd Author House For 32 years, Marianne Worth Rudd dreamed about cycling cross country, almost as long as she’s known her husband, Terry. She thought the bike trip was about getting to the Atlantic.

They expected snow, lightning, heat, and wind while bicycling cross country. That happened. What they did not expect was a car collision, a broken arm, or Hurricane Sandy. That happened, too.

Pedal Pushers Coast-to-Coast is the story of their 2012 cycling quest from the Pacific to the Atlantic, chronicling the challenges, joys, and surprises of their 4,500-mile, 12-week bicycle journey. Personal quirks became quirkier. Pain and grief unexpectedly seized the trip mid-way with a car collision and broken arm for Terry, but three months later, their quest resumed- on a snowy October day in northern Minnesota.

From once coast to another, Marianne (Mari) and Terry experienced not only the changing terrain and state borders, but an elation far more

gratifying than just reaching destinations – they discovered the curiosity and kindness of strangers, and the lasting impact.

From simple gifts of root beer and oranges on a hot day, to shelter from a lightning storm and random invitations countrywide for meals and lodging, strangers offered unexpected generosity and care throughout their travels.

The book chronicles a transcontinental cycling adventure marked by challenge, resilience and hope, and illustrates the outpouring of kindness and generosity from strangers across the continent.

Marianne Worth Rudd is a veteran of self-supported bike touring in North America, Europe and New Zealand.

She’s completed three cross-country U.S. bike trips-two with her husband, and one as solo cyclist. She maintains a website at thepedalpushers.net

A Soul’s Journey

G. C. DePietro Independently Published As far back as G. C. De Pietro can recall creativity has been her healer, born prematurely and later diagnosed with a life-threatening childhood disease she spent much of her early youth in hospitals. After surviving several near death experiences she knew she would commit her life helping others.

As an art therapist De Pietro realized there were too many innocent children who had devastating stories to tell and had witnessed horrific events in their young lives. Thus, she wrote a book about her involvement with these children called Abandoned which is available on Amazon. It tells the story of boys forgotten and how the art therapy process helped them heal.

Looking for answers as to why this sort of thing had to happen, she began to investigate karmic patterns. After studying with Jungian analyst Dr. Roger Woolger, PH. D, Ms De Pietro became a certified Past Life Regression Specialist. She now combines Art Therapy with Past Life Regression Therapy to make a unique contribution to the transpersonal psychotherapeutic community.

The underlying message offered by DePietro in her new book, A Soul’s Journey: The story of traveling through time to find the truth, is that recovered subconscious memories prove that death is not a punishment, but rather an opportunity to be reborn with new knowledge acquired from previous lives.

The liberating concept of reincarnation allows us to learn from our mistakes. The reasons why we keep coming back may surprise but more importantly learning how to move on and not get stuck in the karmic cycle is the quest as the readers of A Soul’s Journey will discover in this particular soul’s journey.

Farm Boy, City Girl: From Gene to Miss Gina

John “Gene” E. Dawson, author Tamara Dawson Bonnicksen, editor MiRiona Publishing Farm Boy, City Girl: From Gene to Miss Gina is a three part memoir that details John “Gene” E. Dawson’s life growing up in Depression-era Iowa in a poor farming Irish-Catholic family and his adult years spent living on the LGBTQ cultural edge in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and St. Louis. Deftly edited by Tamara Dawson Bonnicksen, this is a remarkable autobiography that offers a

DuluthReader.com

rare glimpse into the mid-20th century history of both rural Iowa and of LGBTQ individuals in Middle America.

Part One, Farm Boy 1931 - 1949: Gene recounts his years growing up in the Great Depression, moving with his family from rental farm to rental farm until his parents could afford to purchase their own land and home.

Life was difficult and often brutal for anyone during this time, but especially so for a gender-fluid gay child/teenager.

Part Two, Transition and Tragedy 1950 - 1959: Gene initially leaves the farm and begins transitioning into his new life as a gay man in the cities of Cedar Rapids and St. Louis, adopting the “city girl” persona of Gina. But the tragic accidental death of his mother forces him to move back to his family’s home in Iowa, where he faces gut-wrenching family drama and the loving burden of helping to raise his three younger brothers.

Part Three, City Girl 1960 - : Gene returns to Cedar Rapids before finally moving on to live an open, full existence as Miss Gina in St. Louis.

Even in the city though, life was quite hard for openly gay men, and Gene recounts multiple harrowing tales involving the brutality of police, gay bar life, and the unsung heroism of midwestern LGBTQ people – years before the famous Stonewall riot of New York City.

A deftly crafted, exceptionally informative, engagingly compelling, and candidly personal account of a unique life lived out in interesting times, “Farm Boy, City Girl: From Gene to Miss Gina” is an extraordinary read.

The Lincoln Family Photograph

Jay Peter Morgan iUniverse, Inc. Few days in American history have

been as meticulously documented as Abraham Lincoln’s last day. The bucket list was short. The day began as a peaceful spring day and Lincoln had put in motion a plan to have a joyous carriage ride with his wife, attend the theater, and spend the day enjoying his family.

Gone was the melancholy that had engulfed the last few years. On this day, the President bounced out of bed, was jovial at breakfast, and uncharacteristically fussed over his appearance. He was usually unkempt and miserable, but had a special reason to appear dapper on this day.

On their carriage ride there is about an hour where the Lincolns are unaccounted for. Mary Lincoln claims they went toward The Soldier’s Home – but while historians disagree with her, they do not offer much of an alternative.

Many historical accounts of Lincoln’s last carriage ride contradict the very eyewitness accounts they source.

Everyone knows the events of that night, and hopefully the photograph that is at the heart of Jay Peter Morgan’s The Lincoln Family Photograph: Moses in the Bulrushes plausibly fills in the afternoon of Lincoln’s last day.

An iconoclastic but inherently fascinating and deftly written historical study, The Lincoln Family Photograph is unreservedly recommended as a ‘must read’ for all Lincoln scholars.

In 1993, Jay P. Morgan was an amateur antique collector and dealer when he acquired a pair of photographs that set in motion a new set of career paths that included amateur historian and author.

O’Hara and Ball shine in Arzner’s Dance, Girl, Dance Dance, Girl, Dance The Criterion Collection (Blu-ray) $39.95 Judy O’Brien (Maureen O’Hara) and Bubbles (Lucille Ball) are dancers in the same struggling troupe, and both have big ambitions: Judy wants to be a professional dancer, scripting her own ballerina routines in her spare time, and Bubbles is looking to land a rich suitor who can give her a more comfortable lifestyle. A fter the troupe loses their gig at the Palais Royale in Akron, Ohio, when the cops raid the joint for illegal gambling, both women return to New

York City looking for a new way to fulfill their dreams. The two women end up linked when Bubbles adopts the persona of the Tiger Lily at a burlesque club, and offers Judy a high-paying opportunity to do her ballet routine – as a stooge that the audience boos and jeers until Bubbles returns to the stage.

Judy needs the money, but being the punchline to Bubbles’ act weighs on her. When a rich suitor with a crumbling marriage named Jimmy Harris (Louis Hayward) starts courting Judy, only for Bubbles to try and swoop in, it’s the last straw.

Bubbles (Lucille Ball) with a stuffed Ferdinand the Bull in Dorothy Arzner’s Dance, Girl, Dance.

Dorothy Arzner’s Dance, Girl, Dance is an impressive balancing act between its two protagonists, using their differing desires and differing views on what they do for a living to illustrate the challenges of women working in an artistic industry.

Bubbles may be antagonistic toward Judy, but she’s not villainous – both women are presented as having sensible goals, and the screenplay, by Tess Slesinger and Frank Davis, weaves a careful story that puts the two of them at odds with one another without it being a battle of who’s right and who’s wrong.

The friction between them is one of the many elements that help the film feel relevant even 80 years later, and no doubt a contributing factor to the film being preserved by the National Film Registry, as well as being inducted in to The Criterion Collection.

I Love Lucy looms large, not just as part of television history, but within pop culture history in general. Ball’s movie career, on the other hand, gets far less attention. Dance, Girl, Dance finds Ball in top form, vamping it up as the sassy, takes-what-she-wants kind of gal who’s sympathetic to the struggles of the women around her but who is also looking out for herself first and others second.

When she offers Judy the job in the burlesque act, she doesn’t mention that the role is essentially a punching bag for the audience, feeling that Judy needs $25 a week more than artistic fulfillment (a question that many female artists no doubt ask themselves today). She bails on Jimmy, who they first meet in Akron, when he behaves strangely on their would-be date, but immediately concocts a way to win him back when she learns that he’s loaded and interested in Judy.

Arzner makes great use of Ball’s natural comic charisma to make the character sympathetic even when she’s

behaving callously. The burlesque routine itself, set to the song “Mother, What Do I Do Now?”, is a good showcase for Ball’s physical comedy talents (and feels like a foreshadowing of some of Barbra Streisand’s performances in Funny Girl).

There is an equal deftness in the casting of O’Hara as the “plain” girl to Ball’s “sexy star.”

O’Hara is great in the role (especially near the end, when she gets multiple monologues), and of course, unquestionably beautiful, and yet there’s a truth to a scene where a scuzzy promoter doesn’t like the troupe’s hula act until he sees Bubbles do it. It’s not that the troupe’s version is bad or that Bubbles’ is good, but Arzner uses Ball’s brassy personality to the movie’s benefit.

There’s also a sharp bit of commentary when the promoter goes onto hire Bubbles alone, which brings to mind thoughts of womens’ solidarity, and how the charisma of one woman can make or break the careers of several others (Bubbles had hoped her success would benefit all of them).

Self-confidence issues also play a big factor in the story, with Judy constantly struggling to assert herself or objectively assess her own talents.

Early in the film, the girls’ elderly manager, Madame Basilova (Maria Ouspenskaya), tries to put Judy in contact with Steve Adams (Ralph Bellamy), who runs an important ballet troupe. When Basilova dies before their meeting with Steve can take place, Judy talks herself out of speaking to Steve, convinced she’s not talented enough.

No doubt struggles with self-image have existed forever, but mass media has undoubtedly only enhanced them since 1940, not to mention, the thread can just as easily be extrapolated into things such as filmmakers who seem unconvinced that women could act without being tricked into it, or the

conversation about whether women have the resources necessary to argue for fair pay.

The film is not really a romance, and as such Hayward does a good job of balancing between Jimmy’s charm with moments where he becomes depressed and frustrated thinking about his impending divorce from Elinor Harris (Virginia Field).

Jimmy is sincerely attracted to Judy (even if his energy would be better focused elsewhere), but Judy’s starry-eyed affection for a stuffed Ferdinand toy that Jimmy abandons (which actually belongs to Elinor) is a nice illustration of how much more seriously she’s thinking about Jimmy than Jimmy is thinking about her (as well as how much more seriously Judy thinks about Jimmy than Bubbles does).

The film builds to a very funny courtroom scene with all of the film’s major characters that the entire cast plays to perfection, especially Ball, who comes to understand Judy’s perspective and formulates a new strategy on the spot.

As the characters come to recognize that their struggles are more parallel than opposed, it brings to mind the film’s title: Judy and Bubbles might be

Sam Gabrielli Chief Meteorologist

moving at different tempos, but to get what they want, they both have to do the dance.

Criterion has produced a foilaccented cover for Dance, Girl, Dance, the first time I can recall that they’ve ever done this for a traditional sleeve (Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters does have a foil finish, although that disc comes in a digipak).

The cover features an illustration by

Dan Hanger Anchor

Jody Hegwill, which captures Maureen O’Hara right before her character’s big speech, with a faded image of Lucille Ball in the background. The quality of the illustration as a piece of art is fine, but the design of the image is a little dull, and the fact that Criterion repeated it on the fold-out leaflet (also foil-accented, featuring an essay

by Sheila O’Malley) kind of adds to the feeling that this particular release did not receive quite as much time or attention as some of their other releases. The reverse of the sleeve is blank brown, and the disc repeats the star pattern from O’Hara’s dress in the illustration without the actual actresses.

The biggest draw of the disc, in my opinion, is a brand-new 4K transfer, presented in 1.37:1 1080p AVC. It looks fantastic, with extremely fine film grain, expertly-tuned shadow gradients, and a stunning level of clarity for a film turning 80 this year.

The fold-out leaflet notes that while most of the film was scanned using the original 35mm nitrate negative, some sections were taken from a 35mm fine-grain master positive provided by the Museum of Modern Art. As a result, there is an occasional shot with

Alexandra Burnley Anchor

a noticeably starker contrast, although there are not many of these inserts.

Sound is a very strong DTS-HD Master Audio 1.0 mono track that also impresses. The film is full of musical numbers, which sound quite robust and lively for a mono presentation, and dialogue is satisfyingly crisp.

There are two extras on the disc.

First, there is an introduction by film critic B. Ruby Rich (15:16), which was recorded for the Criterion Channel streaming service. It’s not a film-specific supplement, but rather filmmaker-specific, with Rich providing a brief overview of Arzner’s career (including her invention of the boom microphone!). The other supplement is an interview with filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola (10:48). When Coppola attended UCLA as a graduate student in 1962, Arzner was one of his teachers.

After a little bit of backstory on Arzner, Coppola gets into his memories of what she was like, and the stories are quite entertaining.

Dance, Girl, Dance is very funny and features a number of very good performances, especially from the legendary Lucille Ball. Criterion’s new 4K remaster looks outstanding. Highly recommended.

LOOK The Burke and Hare story retold

The Flesh and the Fiends (special edition) Blu-ray, 29.95 Written and directed by John Gilling in 1960 and based on the infamous Burke and Hare murders from the 1800’s, The Flesh And The Fiends is set in Edinburgh, Scotland, which just so happens to be the base of operations for one Dr. Robert Knox (Peter Cushing). He’s delighted, early in the film, to receive a visit from his niece, Martha Knox (June Laverick), and so too is one of his students, Chris Jackson (John Cairney), who Knox pays to help out around the surgical school he runs.

Always in the need for fresh cadavers to use in his work, Dr. Knox relies on two disreputable men, William Burke (George Rose) and William Hare (Donald Pleasence), to supply him with bodies, paying them handsomely for their work and asking no questions as to where the bodies come from.

Knox feels it is more important to keep his students properly educated and to get them the training they need than it is to look too far into Burke and Hare’s nocturnal activities, most of which revolve around The Merry Duke Tavern and a nearby brothel, where drunks frequently stumble home alone.

On top of that, Burke’s wife, Helen (Renee Houston), who he mistreats quite horribly, runs a boarding house which further adds to the two men’s supply of people that nobody will miss.

When Chris falls in with a lovely drunk named Mary Patterson (Billie Whitelaw), he does what he can to get her to give up her disorderly ways, but

this romance seemed doomed from the start and, as Burke and Hare become more brazen in their pursuits, a light starts to shine on their connection to Knox’s school.

Very atmospheric and featuring some excellent production design and art direction, The Flesh And The Fiends comes together really nicely. A big part of this has to do with the casting.

Cushing is excellent in his role as Knox, bringing that nobility and determination to his character that he brought to many of the Hammer Studio’s Frankenstein films. The man does a fantastic job of portraying his convictions in a very believable way, it’s a great role for him and he looks eerie enough with a makeup appliance over his left eye (the left side of the real Knox’s face and eye was disfigured after a bout of small pox he suffered).

If Cushing’s work here weren’t enough on its own, there’s also a fantastic turn from Donald Pleasence here, complemented perfectly by George Rose. These two play their characters very well, each man relishing the next murder even more than the last, and they really bring a sweaty, boozy feel to their characters.

Supporting work from Cairney is decent enough, though he isn’t particularly remarkable, while Billie Whitelaw (who is probably best remembered for playing Mrs. Baylock in The Omen) plays a drunken harlot really convincingly.

Gilling’s direction is tight and his script is sharp. Monty Berman’s cinematography does a great job of turning Edinburgh after dark into a dangerous land full of dark alleyways, dimly lit streets and rowdy establishments of ill repute. The score from composer Stanley Black is also very good, quite appropriate to the mood that the visuals so effectively conjure up. Really, this one just comes together really well.

The feature version of the movie included on this disc is the stronger, uncut version of the film. This means that it includes a surprising amount of nudity in the brothel scenes, the murder of the older drunk woman is slightly stronger as is the killing of Jamie. It also features a different opening and a fair bit more.

The Flesh And The Fiends comes to Blu-ray in an AVC encoded 1080p high

DVD REVIEW IAN JANE

68 July 16, 2020 DuluthReader.com

Donald Pleasence and Billie Whitelaw in The Flesh and the Fiends. definition transfer framed at 2.35.1 widescreen, taking up just over 25GBs of space on the 50GB disc. Taken from elements that were clearly in less than perfect shape, the transfer is a nice upgrade over the older DVD release to be sure, but it is inconsistent in a few ways in terms of contrast and print damage and occasionally even some noticeable telecine wobble. There are scratches throughout and specks as well, and sometimes the blacks can look closer to dark greys, but this has decent enough detail even if it never approaches reference quality.

This might not be a reference quality black and white picture, but if it is imperfect it’s more than watchable and better than we’ve had before.

The only audio option on for the feature version of the movie is a 16-bit DTS-HD 2.0 Mono track in the film’s native English language. Again, what

we get is less than perfect, so expect a bit of hiss here and there and some distortion in a few spots. Most of the time the audio is fine, the track is balanced well enough and has some occasional moments of depth, but it would appear, as with the video grading, the elements here were less than ideal.

There are two primary extras on this disc, the first of which is the inclusion of the shorter alternate cut of the film, The Fiendish Ghouls, which runs 1:14:13 as opposed to the uncut version at 1:34:38. It’s doubtful anyone would prefer this version to the stronger, uncut version of the movie but it’s always nice to have alternate versions preserved on Blu-ray releases like this, particularly as some viewers likely have a certain sense of nostalgia for them from older home video releases of TV viewings from back in the day.

The other main extra is an audio commentary, available over the uncut version, from Tim Lucas. He covers the Burke and Hare grave robbings that took place, how this film defied his expectations in a lot of ways, his appreciation for the film’s atmosphere, the film’s strong depiction of the era in which the story takes place, the real life character that Cushing’s character is based on and lots more.

The Flesh And The Fiends is a solid slice of very atmospheric vintage British horror. John Gilling’s script and direction is top notch and it all just comes together really nicely.

A bittersweet release for MST3K fans Mystery Science Theater 3000: Volume XXXIX Shout Factory. $59.97

It’s a bittersweet day for Mystery Science Theater fans. Shout! Factory has released the last collection of episodes from the original show.

While it’s great that three new episodes (and a disc of bonus material) are out on DVD, it’s sad that there are 11 installments that have never been released, and probably never will be, because of copyright issues. Still, these three shows from the Mike years are solid, and the set, rather aptly, includes the very last episode.

The shows included in this set are: • Experiment 601 – Girls Town Mike (referring to Mel Torme): He’s like a youthful Jabba the Hut! This first episode from season six features the installation of the Umbilicus, a tube that runs from the Sat-ellite of Love to Deep 13, and allows items to be sent between the Mads and the SoL. It’s a nice addition to the show and it will be used for the rest of the run of the show for various gags.

The movie is pretty lame in and of itself, but does have a pretty impressive cast. It stars Mamie Van Doren, Mel Torme and Paul Anka. There are brief appearances by Harold Lloyd Jr. and Charlie Chaplin Jr., and there’s even a performance by The Platters.

Unfortunately none of them can save this movie from the dull and plodding, not to mention predictable, script.

One evening Fred (Torme) takes his date to the local make-out spot when they see his friend Chip trying to rape a girl. They laugh gently to themselves – good ‘ol Chip is always up to some mischief. Fred doesn’t think it so funny when he discovers that Chip has died, falling off a cliff after his date pushes him away.

Having caught a glimpse of the girl, Chip falsely thinks it was Silver Morgan (Van Doren) who had defended herself.

Silver, being out of jail on probation, is brought in for questioning and though she has a solid alibi, she’s given the choice of going back to jail or being remanded to Girls Town, a home run by nuns for young women, mostly orphans, who are at risk.

There she has run-ins with the other girls, but things get worse when she discovers that it was her kid sister who was with Chip on the fatal evening and

that the law and Chip’s gang are both looking for her.

This musical/drama had a bit of potential for being a great installment of MST, but it ends up being just so-so.

There’s not a lot that Mike and the bots can say during the several songs that pop up, and the film doesn’t have that ludicrous element that makes for the best riffing. It’s alright, but not better than that.

• Experiment 623 - The Amazing Transparent Man with the short Days of Our Years: Crow: So, the leading causes of accidents are joy, sex, and old age?

The short, made by Union Pacific to promote safety among their workers, shows three examples of people who were careless and caused an accident. Mike and the bots have a great time with this, pointing out the ridiculous nature of some of the setups. This was a very good short.

The feature itself was decent too, but not a classic. The story revolves around Joey Faust, an expert safecracker, who is broken out of prison by a mad villain, Paul Krenner.

Krenner has a Nazi scientist working for him to perfect a ray that will make people invisible, and with that Krenner can create an invisible army that can take over the world. The only problem is that he needs nuclear materials secured in highly secured government vaults. So he strong-arms Faust to steal them for him, while invisible. The more he gets to know Krenner, the less Joey likes the man or his mad plan so he schemes to stop him.

This plot is wacky enough to give the riffers plenty of material, and they come up with some good lines. There are several that fall flat, but there are more hits than misses.

• Experiment 1023 - Diabolik: Crow: Y’know, this music would be better with women in bikinis shaking it all over the place... well, I guess that’s true of any music, really.

A bit of a strange choice for the last episode, Diabolik is a European crime/action flick based on an Italian comic strip. Directed by Mario Bava, the film follows the adventures of the master criminal Diabolik, who lives in an underground lair where he plots and schemes to steal money from the government and make fools of the police.

While I would have preferred a truly awful film for their final installment

DVD REVIEW JOHN SINNOTT

DuluthReader.com

(I was hoping for Plan 9 from Outer Space) the crew does a really good job with this. They riffs are pretty funny throughout and there are some really hilarious scenes like when Diabolik and his girlfriend are having sex on a pile of money. “They got pretty injured when they tried this with gold bars.”

Even with the solid riffing, the highlights of this show are the host segments. Knowing that this was their last episode they crafted a good set of skits to wrap up the series and complete the stories of Mike, the bots, Pearl, Bobo and Brain Guy. These were funny, sweet and touching.

• Disc Four - Satellite Dishes: As mentioned earlier, there were some movies that Shout! Factory just couldn’t get the rights to. It makes sense in some cases, like the Godzilla movies or The Space Children (which is owned by Paramount) but the copyright owners of Quest of the Delta Knights (which has only had a VHS release in the USA) wouldn’t take a few bucks so the MST version could be released? Okay, whatever.

Though Best Brains doesn’t own the rights to the movies, they do have control of the host segments, and Shout! has graciously put those on the final disc. Overall, it’s three hours’ worth of content, and a nice addition to the MST collection. The disc

contains the segments the following episodes: 201 - Rocketship X-M 213 - Godzilla vs. the Sea Monster 309 - The Amazing Colossal Man 311 - It Conquered the World 416 - Fire Maidens of Outer Space 418 - Attack of the The Eye Creatures 807 - Terror from the Year 5000 809 - I Was a Teenage Werewolf 905 - The Deadly Bees 906 - The Space Children 913 - Quest of the Delta Knights Note that the segments from Godzilla vs. Megalon (Episode 212) are not included. Though that episode is no longer available, it was released for a short time in Volume 10, but Toho’s lawyers took umbrage and forced Shout! to stop publishing it.

Once again Shout! Factory has added some nice featurettes to this collection.

First up is Chuck Love and the Anatomy of a Theme, an interview with the man who wrote the music to the opening and closing themes for the show. It was interesting to hear his reminiscences on creating the iconic songs. There’s also a look at the production of The Amazing Transparent Man in Beyond Transparency, and Showdown in Eden Prairie: Their Final Experiment is a short featurette concerning the final episode of the series.

Mazda squeezes CX-30 between CX-3 and CX-5

GILBERT’S GARAGE by

JOHN GILBERT Mazda’s new CX-30 compact SUV in now-signature. Soul Red Crystal Metallic is an extra-cost option well worth it. Photos by John Gilbert Somewhere in the annals of automobile manufacturing there must be a rule that proclaims whenever new technology bursts onto the scene in new vehicles, Mazda is the company that gets to develop or invent it.

How else can you explain the amazing raft of high-tech devices that work with flawless precision on reasonably-priced Mazda vehicles?

I recently got a chance to test-drive a Mazda CX-30 compact SUV, and it had so many advanced technical goodies that I wasn’t sure what all it had.

Always built tight and strong, Mazda has become known by its ad campaign for “Zoom-Zoom” vehicles, which is a tip that the company enjoys turning out vehicles that over-achieve. The CX-30 is merely the latest one. Mazda already has an award-winning compact

SUV with the CX-5, and it had a smaller, tighter one with the CX-3.

It didn’t seem that there was enough of a gap between the two for another SUV to squeeze in, but Mazda thought differently and plunked the CX-30 right in there. The CX-5 is 179 inches long and the CX-3 measures 168 inches long, while the new CX-30 measures 173 inches in length.

The CX-30 wheelbase is 104.5 inches, 2.1 less than the CX-5.

Nobody ever accused the CX-5 of being too big – the large CX-9 fills that role – although many have challenged the CX-3 for being too small.

I’m quite certain either camp would find the CX-30 just right. It starts at the bargain rate of $21,900, although the test car was loaded up with what Mazda calls its Premium Package,

which zooms the sticker up to $28,200 – still a bargain, particularly when you hear its ingredients.

It is fun to drive, quick and agile, and would probably be even quicker with only front-wheel drive. The test car had Mazda’s exceptional all-wheel drive, which may aid handling in the dry and certainly will in the wet or snow.

A couple years ago, Mazda engineers completed a decade of plotting, planning and developing to make its Zoom-Zoom go around corners even better than its standard of excellence in handling.

To over-simplify, the idea of turning abruptly to go around a left turn, for example, common sense tells us we want to stiffen the outside wheel’s suspension and maybe give it an extra dose of power.

Nay nay, says Mazda. Its engineers found exactly the opposite – if you start to turn in to the left and the power is reduced to the outside right front while its suspension is also softened just a bit, both for just a millisecond or two, you as the driver are emboldened that you’ve made the right choice to turn in at that spot.

You never feel anything because it’s too quickly executed, but in fact, if you are a good and competent driver you will notice one astounding difference: You almost never, if not never, have to correct the steering wheel to get you back on the proper turning arc.

You have become a much better driver, without doing anything.

The turn-in point is attained with precision, the driver has more April 23,2020 2020 July 23, 8585

CX-30 uses slight size increase from CX-3 for added storage. confidence, perhaps, but the big thing is that when you go around a race track 10 laps, or around two or three different blocks quickly to find a parking place, you shorten your routine from “turn, correct, overcorrect, accelerate,” to merely “turn and go.”

My appreciation for Mazda’s G-Vectoring is that I maintain most accidents happen with imprecise steering, when a driver turns, senses he’s turned too far, and corrects to straighten out, which leads to possible over-correction and a challenge to controllability. But it doesn’t take a genius to realize that if you never have to correct, then you definitely never over-correct.

A few years before that 10-year project found its way into all Mazda vehicles, the Hiroshima company’s engineers decided that some companies were advancing with different methods of expertise, whether in combustion, valve-timing, tuning or tolerances. So Mazda’s engineers threw away their quite excellent little engines and started over with a clean sheet of paper, designing all-new methods for building high-tech engines from the ground up. The result was the “Skyactiv” technology, which took advantage of precise valve-timing and operation, and applied various types of high performance and higheconomy tricks.

The engineers knew that getting maximum power and efficiency required high-compression, so they tuned their new 4-cylinder engines to attain 13.1:1 compression ratios. They also knew that if you made economyminded buyers buy a car that required

premium fuel, savings would be lost because of the 40-50-cent increase in cost per gallon. So they worked some sort of black magic to design 13.1:1 engines that pulled together all the best techniques and called only for regular fuel. The first upgrade of the Skyactiv is the Skyactiv-X engine, which deploys a spark-controlled compression-ignition technique for still more power and fuel efficiency.

Supposedly that will all be introduced on the CX-30 that will be introduced first in Europe as a 2021 CX-30 at the end of calendar 2020.

I also read a couple of introductory articles on the CX-30, and throughout the entire article there was no mention of the extreme technology that is now commonplace on Mazda engines.

The jewel that was delivered to me in Duluth, Minnesota, was wearing the company’s $595 optional Soul Red Chrystal Metallic paint. With proper restraint, I still must gush that I think that is the most superb paint job I’ve ever seen on a factory car. The red has such depth, you can look deep down into it to capture the effect when the sun hits that metallic body.

Its engine has been enlarged to 2.5 liters, turning out 186 horsepower at 6,000 RPMs and 186 foot-pounds of torque at 4,000 RPMs. Sadly, to me, the high-revving 2.0 Skyactiv is no longer available on any Mazdas larger than the Mazda3 and CX-3. I’ve heard the corporate claims that the larger engine gets almost identical fuel economy to the 2.0, but in my tests, the 2.0 gets spectacular mileage and the 2.5 just OK fuel economy. On this test, the CX-30 gave me a high of 27 miles per gallon, and i would expect over 30 with the 2.0.

The 2.5 reportedly now offers cylinder deactivation too. But for the first time in my long test-reviewing career, I have so far been unable to get secure information on exactly what equipment and technology is on the 2020 test vehicle.

So I tried to put all those details out of my mind and just enjoy the classic sporty interior, with its black seats and

trim, although I would suggest Mazda relook at the gloss black used so much for trim. Flat black reflects much less and leaves the drivers less-dazzled with style but also less bothered by the glare that can prevent you from making out the switchgear at a glance.

The test CX-30 came with all the safety and performance enhancements, such as dynamic stability with traction control, lane departure warning and assist, blindspot detection, radar controlled adaptive cruise control with stop-start, radar powered liftgate on the hatch – which opens to a large cargo area – and an impressive Bose Centerpoint 2 audio system with 12 speakers.

The seats are firm and comfortable, and the steering wheel not only feels just right in your grip, but the top arc of the wheel perfectly traces the curvature of the cowling over the instrument pod.

As usual, that all adds up to the parts all being tied together in a cohesive package of driving enjoyment, whether pushing is hard through some curves or cruising along the North Shore Drive of Lake Superior. You may not know, or care, about G-Vectoring, or Skyactiv-X engines, but you don’t need to know any of that to wring full driving enjoyment out of the CX-30.

But when you take one for a test drive, at least push it hard once around a corner and notice that you didn’t have to correct your steering impulse. It indeed makes you a better driver than you thought you were.

Quote of the week

THE END

“We want to explore. We’re curious people. Look back over history, people have put their lives at stake to go out and explore ...

We believe in what we’re doing.

Now it’s time to go.”

Col. Eileen Collins, who on July 23, 1999, blasted off on space shuttle Columbia as the first woman to command a U.S. space flight. In 2005, NASA tapped Col. Collins to command the space shuttle Discovery’s historic “Return to Flight” mission, NASA’s first manned flight following the loss of space shuttle Columbia in 2003. During her 872 hours logged in space, Collins earned a reputation for coolness under pressure.
