27 The New York City skyline 19 years ago, on Sept. 11, 2001.

inbox Adolf & Donald Hitler’s psychological profile from the U.S. Office of Strategic Services: Hitler’s primary rules were: • Never allow the public to cool off • Never admit a fault or a wrong • Never concede that there may be some good in your enemy • Never leave room for alternatives • Never accept blame • Concentrate on one enemy at a time, and blame him/her/them for everything that goes wrong • People will believe a big lie sooner than a little one, and if you repeat it frequently enough, people will, sooner or later, believe it.

Do any of these “rules” remind you of someone currently in power in the U.S.? If they don’t, you’re either not paying attention, or you don’t want to admit you’ve been conned by one of the best con-artists to ever exist in this country.

Unfortunately, Trump is being enabled by a multitude of “willing victims,” all who are unwilling to admit they’re wrong about their pseudo-Messiah. Trump’s mental/ emotional state makes it unlikely he’ll admit to losing the coming election.

The primary question then is how will Trump supporters react if Trump loses, and he refuses to admit he lost, and vacate the office? And what will the Congressional Republicans do? (In case you hadn’t noticed, Trump is a poor loser.)

I don’t hate Trump. I hate what his pathological tendencies are doing to the country. More than anything, I pity him for the poor excuse for a human being he turned out to be.

Because he’s a danger to himself and the U.S., he needs to be institutionalized. And the Republicans who enable his dysfunctional behavior, are silently complicit in supporting the chaos that will inevitably happen if he’s not forced to resign as Nixon was.

Gary Burt Marble, Minnesota A spectacle of a president We are faced with the unprecedented spectacle of a President undermining public confidence in our national election, and suggesting that he will not accept the outcome when he loses. He does this without presenting evidence of problems with the integrity of the elections, beyond the problems that he and his party have created.

It is worth recounting some of the history that has led up to this bizarre

DuluthReader.com

situation.

President Trump first attacked the integrity of our elections when he claimed – without evidence at the time or later – that he won the popular vote in 2016 “if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally.”

Trump never provided a shred of evidence to support this claim, and his Department of Justice never identified or prosecuted a single one of the “millions” of illegal voters.

In the next few years, the President and his administration further eroded confidence in our elections by ignoring and denying Russian interference in the 2016 election. When this was no longer plausible, they simply sat on their hands and declined to cooperate with investigations or legal measures that would prevent foreign interference in the future.

This year, with polls indicating that Trump is likely to lose in November, his assault on the election has mushroomed. He has claimed – repeatedly and without evidence – that “2020 will be the most inaccurate and fraudulent election in history.”

In fact, dozens of polls have confirmed consistent findings for months: a majority of Americans disapprove of this President’s job performance, and a majority prefer Biden over Trump.

It is reasonable to assume that the November election will reflect these majorities, even if President Trump claims that the votes and the polls were all “inaccurate and fraudulent.”

The claim that the November election will be “fraudulent” is particularly interesting when coming from a sitting President, who controls the federal Department of Justice and has had a cooperative Senate throughout his term in office.

Where, one might ask, are the corrective measures? Where are the investigations, the prosecutions, the sentencing of felons? Where are the bills and appropriations that would assure greater election integrity?

There are none, because the “fraud” is a political prop for a President who cannot imagine losing.

In fact, instead of corrective measures, we see broad efforts by the President and his party to undermine the election. From gerrymandering which makes a mockery of “one person, one vote” and selective purges of voters rolls, to closing polling stations in minority communities (Atlanta, Milwaukee) and restricting the time allowed for voting, GOP-

controlled voter suppression is now commonplace. And where we have needed help the most – strengthening absentee voting during COVID – we have seen the President and his administration opposing and denigrating mail-in voting, and dismantling the Post Office.

Most recently, the President has encouraged his voters to commit the felony of voting twice, and his Attorney General has declined to state that this would be a crime.

It will be easy to find cause of any problems that do occur with the 2020 election. The President and his party have been quite open about their contempt for democratic processes and principles, and their steps to undermine our election have been carried out in the full view of the public.

Ultimately, elections are decided by the voters, the states, the electoral college, and – if needed – the courts.

We can thank the founding fathers for assuring that the outcomes are not determined by the candidates, however corrupt, divisive, unstable and unable to accept reality they may be.

Charles Gessert Duluth, Minnesota Grimm support My family and I are supporting Ashley Grimm for District 3 St. Louis County Commissioner.

The district is in western part of Duluth: Fond du Lac, Gary New Duluth, Morgan Park, Riverside, Smithville, Fairmont Park, West Duluth/Spirit Valley, West End/Lincoln Park and Piedmont Heights.

Ashley Grimm is intelligent, learned and experienced manager of both paid and volunteer work.

She is director of Damiano Child Care program and chair of the Duluth Human Rights Commission.

She wants to improve Duluth and St.Louis County transportation infrastructure. Bridges roads and streets are in bad condition because federal and state governments are not providing enough funding. The only way local governments can increase the funding is by raising residential and commercial property taxes, which are the most regressive.

The county has imposed sales tax, but it is inadequate. The pot holes are ruining vehicles and causing injuries to drivers and passengers. User fees are most fair to fix the transportation problems.

The local government administrative system should be changed to make it more efficient by eliminating duplications of service and save taxpayers

dollars. Seventeen states and many municipalities have reformed their systems to make them more efficient and reduce property taxes.

Mike Jaros, Duluth, Minnesota

A pastoral plague Just as Jim Jones had his fellow believers drink the Kool-Aid believing Nirvana was attainable, so has this president bamboozled the religious right.

Appointing conservative Supreme Court justices in hopes of overturning Roe V. Wade, when by a 55 percent majority on Jan. 23, 1973, conservative justices made abortion legal, and claiming Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, is their Kool-Aid of choice.

We have all witnessed thousands of pedophile priests and clergymen, as well as Jimmy Swaggart (forgive me, father, for I have sinned), Jim and Tammy Bakker bilking of the tithing righteous, Jerry Falwell, Jr.’s drunken escapades, and many other clergy who have steered their flock to vote for Trump in God’s name, knowing of his multiple marriages, playmates and porn star affairs. Lies at 20,000, tax evasion, 11 bankruptcies, eight imprisoned associates, and claiming to having never asked for God’s forgiveness because he’s never done wrong.

If believing clergymen and women who stand for this president makes you a Christian, then consider me a fullblown sinner, as my moral compass says, if this is what goes north, then south is my choice.

This is a sad time for churches and I say tax them for being so boldly political.

THINK

Citizen science can be a powerful force for needed planetary change

By Kathleen Rogers and Dr. Anne Bowser

World Honey Bee Day (third Saturday in August) came and went, but it wasn’t a celebration: more than 40% of insect species are threatened with extinction.

Thanks to science, we know exactly why: habitat loss, pollution from pesticides, invasive species, and climate change all play a significant role. But because professional scientists only have so much time, they cannot always collect all of the data needed to understand where different species are or how populations are changing at the local or global scale.

And without our help, professional researchers can’t speak strongly enough to advocate for the policies we need to reverse current trends.

One obvious solution to both challenges is citizen science, which brings the public into the research process.

Through crowdsourcing, citizen science leads to more data, including from places that professional researchers cannot always access.

Citizen science also provides an opportunity for the people who contribute to research to advocate to drive direct change, letting their voice be heard through direct actions that can solve global problems.

Estimates of the number of people who engage in citizen science vary wildly but conservatively tens of millions of students and adults do some form of citizen science every year.

Citizen science happens in schools, in informal education settings like museums, through corporate social responsibility expeditions, and in people’s backyards.

So, too, the economic value of citizen science projects is uncertain, with some estimates calculating the value in the billions of dollars for biodiversity monitoring alone. Since 2010, there has been a significant rise in the number of peer reviewed publications that mention citizen science.

DuluthReader.com

But the impact of citizen science reaches far beyond the production of data. It is a powerful form of experiential learning for everyone, children and adults alike.

It also supports an enhanced scientific literacy among different public community members. Engaging people in citizen science and making research data open also democratizes science, which can increase belief and trust in science.

But while thousands of citizen science projects are conducted every day, many are missing two key elements: first, providing access to comprehensive open source data, and second, providing pathways for participants to engage their governments through civic action.

Without these two elements, citizen science misses an important opportunity to advance scientific research, and limits the potential to deepen the public’s engagement at the intersection of science and public policy.

A new citizen science project, Earth Challenge 2020 – led by Earth Day Network, the Wilson Center, and the U.S. Department of State – takes a step forward to address both of those issues.

First, while some citizen science data is open source, it is not easily accessible

to everyone in one place. One solution is creating the Citizen Science Cloud, a one-stop-shop for citizen science data collected from a wide range of projects.

Professional researchers can take advantage of open APIs, while everyday people can use data visualization and mapping tools to see what’s happening in their own communities.

Second, the Earth Challenge mobile app (available in the Apple and Google Play stores) directly links science to action, an opportunity to use technology and data to drive change that is unique in the citizen science world.

Once a user contributes data, whether taking a photo of a bee or classifying photos of plastic in the environment, they can take countryspecific civic engagement actions, such as signing petitions, that are focused on impacting current policy decisionmaking processed at their national level.

To address bee declines, for example, participants can petition their governments to ban certain pesticides, address agricultural practices that are decimating bee populations, or create habitats for bees and other pol-linators.

Guiding citizen scientists down the pathway of civic action builds a deeper relationship between critically

important data and its natural outgrowth, strong science-based policy.

Citizen science projects, if created with solid hypotheses and engaging technologies, can aid professional scientists who are interested in acquiring more data and support global monitoring against targets like the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Engaging the public broadly in citizen science can also lead to stronger knowledge and deeper trust in science.

Adding a civic action component to citizen science initiatives will build a broader, more diverse, and more active global community of ordinary people who will take action to save their communities and the planet. Wellconstructed citizen science, supported by open data and civic action, is a powerful force for the change our planet needs.

Kathleen Rogers is president of Earth Day Network (EDN). The first Earth Day on April 22, 1970, activated 20 million Americans from all walks of life and is widely credited with launching the modern environmental movement. EDN, the world’s largest recruiter to the environmental movement, now works year-round with tens of thousands of partners in 192 countries.

Dr. Anne Bowser is director of Innovation at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, a quasigovernment think tank. Her research explores how new advances in science and technology can lead to positive social and environmental outcomes. Outside the Wilson Center, Anne has formal advisory roles with the National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence and the United Nation’s Environment Programme.

19th anniversary of one of the crimes/cover-ups of the century But what actually happened and why does it matter?

The photo above shows one of the two twin towers on 9/11/01, obviously exploding into fine dust (it is not “burning” down).

The explosions were caused by preplanted explosives in an obviously controlled demolition operation, which means that many weeks – even months – of expert work involving well-trained demolition experts had to have taken place.

In 2001, only a handful of demolition companies in the world could have accomplished the task, but investigations into what actually happened on 9/11/01 were officially prevented, so that even the investigations into those companies did not take place.

Note that the arrow in the photo above points to one of the many “squibs” of exploding gas which are commonly seen with controlled demolitions.

The “splinters” that are seen in the photo are the only solid objects that did not pulverize into fine dust. They were actually chunks of heavy, solid steel beams and girders that were being catapulted upward and outward –

8 Sept. 10, 2020 DuluthReader.com

which could only have happened with explosive power and not with fires.

These nicely-sectioned steel beams and girders that landed in the very short pile of debris below were soon ordered by New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani to be trucked away and sold and shipped to China before forensic examinations could be done – an order that constitutes “disturbing a crime scene” – which is a federal crime.

As just one example of media complicity with the obvious Coverup of what actually happened, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPR) on the 15th anniversary of 9/11, had its chief enterprise, PBS, dishonor itself by – instead of reviewing the true science of what actually happened on 9/11/01 – airing a documentary that was titled 9/11: Inside the Pentagon, a film that was re-broadcast a total of eight times during the week before and after 9/11/2016! No balancing reportage occurred during the entire week.

In the trailer to the that PBS documentary there was breathless, tearjerking testimony from several of the Pentagon employees that survived the alleged crash of Flight 77.

However, researchers and true investigative reporters have long known that it wasn’t Flight 77 – or any other large commercial jet – that hit the Pentagon that day, only partly because the damage to the various concentric ring walls of the Pentagon could only have been done by a much smaller aircraft, such as a missile (or perhaps a USAF Global Hawk surveillance drone).

Also there was no evidence of debris from the aluminum body, wings or the 40-foot tall tail section of the 100-ton Boeing 757.

The only so-called evidence for a large jet hitting the Pentagon that the Department of Defense belatedly produced were five ridiculously unconvincing and obviously Photoshopped images that supposedly showed a blurred image of a plane in only one frame and fiery explosions in the other frames.

(For more information on the Crime and Cover-Up at the Pentagon and

a detailed expose of the infamous, obviously doctored still pictures that were dated 9/12/01, 17:37 (5:37 pm) rather than 9/11/01, 9:37 (9:37 am) the actual time of the hit), go to 911research.wtc7.net/mirrors/ guardian2/pentagon/what-hit-it.htm and https://voiceofpeopletoday.files. wordpress.com/2016/04/finally-newcnn-911-video-shows-no-plane-hit-thepentagon.jpg?w=614 And of course there was no plane debris from a 100-ton relatively soft jet plane lying around outside of the heavily re-enforced concrete walls at the Pentagon – which should have been virtually impenetrable by a relatively soft aluminum plane.

There were no indestructible titanium jet engines that are located on the wings of all Boeing 757s. There was no luggage, no passenger seats, no indestructible black boxes and no passenger body parts that always litter the scene of passenger plane crashes.

If you aren’t smelling rats, you have not been paying attention.

Don’t expect PBS, NPR, CNN, CBS, NBC, ABC, the New York Times, the Washington Post or any other major or even regional media outlet to raise any uncomfortable questions about what really happened on 9/11 in their coverage of the 19th anniversary this week.

Please raise questions about why that is.

Sadly, NPR, MPR and WPR – my usually respected regional public radio stations (that regularly solicit me for money) – have resolutely refused to interview any of the multitude of independent scientists, researchers, scholars and authors who have amassed mountains of court-of-lawready evidence that 9/11 was a criminal false flag operation. All the evidence points to it being an inside job.

The unwelcome, provable facts documenting the actual conspiracies (which are no longer conspiracy “theories”) and the subsequent conspiracy cover-ups about what really happened on 9/11/01 are obviously highly taboo subjects that the mainstream media is terrified of

dealing with, even among the many supposedly trustworthy investigative journalists that are on the staffs of those outlets.

They apparently have received orders from above to NOT do investigative journalism and instead censor out the truth. This is perhaps understandable because journalists in competitive media environments are naturally afraid of losing their jobs.

Similarly, the usually-honorable PBS seems to keep subtly misinforming its viewers various slanted Frontline documentaries that, giving just two HUGE examples, has also promoted the alleged safety and efficacy of Big Pharma’s/Big Vaccine’s neurotoxic and autoimmunity-inducing vaccines.

PBS has also accepted money from the pro-over-vaccination-promoting Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Johnson & Johnson (a multinational pharmaceutical/vaccine corporation).

Not only that, but PBS has also continued to accept the sponsorship of NOVA from the notorious globalist billionaire David Koch.

Predictably, PBS has also refused to screen the expose of the nefarious agendas of the Koch Brothers and the Gates Foundation.

PBS has never screened any of the many powerful, well-researched and irrefutably true 9/11 Truth documentaries that are in abundant supply (see a short list of some of them further below).

But critically-thinking readers of this column know that 9/11 was actually only one of any number of “Crimes of the Century” (ie the last 100 years) that have been “Rich Men’s Tricks.” (See the documentary on that subject that was titled From JFK to 9/11: Everything is a Rich Man’s Trick. The documentary is available at bitchute.com/video/ hFHRNGX1Z7M5/) Other examples of disastrous Rich Man’s Tricks include the Vietnam War and every other major military conflict and the assassinations of John Fitzgerald Kennedy, Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King, And, who knows another Crime of the Century may be the “GREAT

RESET/New World Order” promulgated by a thousand or so billionaires in the World Economic Forum (including Bill Gates) who promulgated Event 201, which prepared the world – before it actually happened – for a worldwide coronavirus “pandemic,” which turned out to be the prelude to global economic chaos and a reset of the planet’s economies. (Watch the welldocumented film about the blacklisted, de-platformed but undeniably truthful Plandemic II at plandemicseries.com.)

Those who are trying to censor information about everything about 9/11 and JFK’s assassination and many of the other events since 1/1/2020 should be reminded that those who coverup crimes are themselves guilty of criminal conduct, and they can – and should – be prosecuted.

Should we also inform journalists, editors and publishers of the major TV, radio and print media outlets that inform, misinform or disinform us about important corporate “Rich Men’s” crimes that they may be guilty of criminal conduct? I think so.

And, despite their supposed crimefighting reputation, the FBI and CIA have collaborated in – and covered-up what really happened on 9//11/01 by

Sam Gabrielli Chief Meteorologist

instantaneously confiscating private video surveillance cameras from nearby businesses.

Note that the Pentagon never released the evidence that would have proved or disproved what many eyewitnesses observed: that no commercial jet hit the Pentagon on 9/11/01. (If the videos had actually showed an airliner, the Cheney/Bush administration would surely have flaunted those videos.)

So the cover-up of the first crime of the 21st Century – 9/11/01 – remains a prosecutable offense.

But what bothers every 9/11 Truthseeker about the crime and coverup of 9/11/01 (not to mention the many other Rich Men’s Crimes of the Century) have never had the opportunity to see the censored evidence that implicates their own government, their own politicians, their own FBI, their own CIA, their own DOD and their own mainstream media.

What is needed is complete transparency.

And so a sizable proportion of our manipulatable, malnourished, internetaddicted, overvaccinated, chronically ill and brainwashed Americans

Dan Hanger Anchor

are totally unaware that Rich Men’s Corporations Rule their World and promote their highly profitable perpetual war agenda, their diabolical economic destabilizations of weaker nations around the world and also the highly profitable forced vaccinations of everybody.

Powerful media-perpetrated Big Lie propaganda has justified – in the minds of most citizens – the “War on Terror” agendas of the Cheney/Bush, the Obama/Biden and the Trump/ Pence administrations when they falsely claim that the “attacks” were orchestrated by Osama bin Laden and not by our own Rich Man’s Crony Capitalist system that worships at the alters of Mammon and Mars.

It is important to point out that the propaganda accompanying the false flag events of 9/11/01 justified a number of other “Rich Men’s Tricks,” including, 1) the invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq; 2) the formation of the Gestapo-like Department of Homeland Security; 3) the formation of an American surveillance state that has gradually gutted the U.S. Constitution; 4) the passage of the proto-fascist

Alexandra Burnley Anchor

Patriot Act; 5) the renewal of the National Defense Authorization Act; and 6) the easy propagandized “War on Terror” that has fostered the development of a “Police State” mentality in the United States.

Without coming clean about the truth of 9/11, neither the United States nor the planet can be easily sustained.

The evidence for the above assertions is overwhelming and is easily available for confirmation for anybody with internet access and the ability to overcome their blind patriotism, their American “Might Makes Right” mentality, their cognitive dissonance and their willingness to courageously search for the truth.

The hopes of my colleagues in the 9/11 Truth community is for an honest re-appraisal of the established facts and that American voters with critical thinking skills will start smelling the rats and reading between the lines and join the resistance movements against the “Rich Men’s Tricks.”

Mes Araignées Since I purloined 6 percent of the Republican primary vote from Congressman Pete Stauber I’ve written five columns of absolutely critical analysis about U.S. politics for The Reader.

They are unsubmitted and collecting dust.

I’m wearied of America’s blood sport – trashing the Declaration of Independence. So instead let me explain the cartoon my wife Claudia taped to the door across from our basement toilette.

Our basement bathroom has been the scene of another blood sport this summer. While enduring my quarantine I’ve watched a succession of spiders setting up shop. I haven’t minded.

Naturalists tell us to cut them some slack because they keep pests down.

The first to weave a silken net was a lithe, long-legged, cellar spider. He set up by a door hinge. He was followed by more compact spider that spun a web in the ceiling corner directly above.

I’ve dropped insects in spider webs since childhood, most spectacularly on an Iowa farm where I saw a garden spider wrap a sturdy grasshopper like a mummy in 30 seconds.

I wondered what a contest between spiders would be like?

I knocked the little one from his ceiling perch and upon reaching the floor, long legs began reeling him in with a

NOT EUDORA HARRY WELTY

refined delicacy that put fly fishermen to shame. However, the prey scrambled to safety.

I vowed not to pit such rivals against each other again.

Through the summer at least five species moved in but our bathroom is a bit of a food dessert. In frustration they kept moving on like fishermen searching for better fishin’ holes leaving old webs behind.

One morning I found a small spider hovering above a potential meal that reminded me of an internet video.

That video showed a fearsome 3-foot Australian tiger snake flailing above a garage floor, caught in the web of a notorious Redback. (Google it!)

My drama took place in a corner by the vanity where an inch-and-a-quarter-long centipede frantically ran its hundred legs in place, suspended just above the floor. Its captor was a spider whose abdomen was no longer than the centipede was wide. It skittered up and down the web looping invisible threads onto the much larger predator.

The flailing captive lunged upwards, snapping it’s scimitar-like mandibles.

I record a minute of the struggle on my cell phone. It would last five hours and I periodically returned to record its progress. I had a favorite.

Centipedes are one of the few critters I don’t hesitate to squash along with pill bugs.

Spiders I toss out of my house.

After his conquest I told Claudia and others to leave the web alone. While other spiders kept moving to new disappointments, this little spider remained over its glory hole, getting fatter and fatter. Below the web lay litter

of spent husks.

One day I found an unidentifiable critter curled under her ravening. I presume “her” because my cell phone photo, when blown up, suggested she had consumed a suitor.

Another time I found one of two roving cellar spiders upended on the floor caught in her silken threads. I blew on the cellar spider and it hobbled half a step which excited the bereaved widow.

Her stirrings brought the cellar spider to a stop. They were like two wary submarines listening to each other in an old war movie. Later the cellar spider picked its way to freedom.

One agate red spider spent a couple quiet days on the web of a cellar spider.

I wondered if he wanted to share.

And a baby spider smaller than the period ending this sentence took over an abandoned web. I’ve seen such babies floating off our pine tree by the hundreds on windy spring days after letting out enough silk to catch the breeze to fly off to parts unknown.

Most of the spiders have now retreated from the bathroom. I vacuumed up all their webs today, all of them except for the one belonging to my especially

fatal companion. Her’s is a perilous world as her lovelorn suitor discovered.

Every summer I see iridescent blue wasps searching out their webs on my patio to sting them into becoming incubators for their eggs. Birds snap them up by the millions. Even one of my cats seems always to have her face covered in webs. She’s probably looking for something more flavorful than the same old kibble.

It’s a lethal world, but the spiders in my bathroom have no pretensions, no red button of Armageddon and no cult following.

During the Vietnam protests a college chum chided me when I called for calm.

“Remember what Jefferson said”, he told me, “‘The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.’”

That’s what I’m afraid of. The release of our inner spiders.

Minnesota Medicare Plans in 2020 If you’re shopping for Medicare plans in Minnesota, it’s easy to feel overloaded with information. That’s actually good news because it means you have a lot of options.

Medicare is a national health insurance program for adults more than 65 and people of any age who meet certain health criteria.

Medicare isn’t just a single health plan. There are various parts, some of which you get from the government and others that you can purchase from private insurance companies.

Parts A and B make up what’s known as original Medicare, which comes directly from the government.

Part A: You can think of Part A as hospital insurance. It helps pay a portion of the costs for any inpatient health care services you receive while in a hospital, a skilled nursing facility, or hospice care. It also offers coverage for some home health services. Part A is funded through a payroll tax. So, if you or your spouse worked for at least 10 years, you’ve probably already paid for it and won’t need to pay a premium.

Part B: This part of Medicare helps pay for basic outpatient health care services, medical supplies, and preventive care you get at the doctor’s office. You do pay a premium for Part B. The amount varies depending on factors such as your income.

While it may seem as if original Medicare covers a lot, there are plenty of gaps. Parts A and B don’t include any coverage for prescription drugs, for example, nor do they cover vision, dental, or hearing care. Original Medicare also doesn’t provide coverage for long term care. It’s also important to understand that coverage isn’t 100 percent for even the things parts A and B do cover, so you may still pay out of pocket when you seek care in the form of copays, coinsurance, and deductibles.

Medicare supplement plans, sometimes called Medigap plans, were developed to help cover the gaps. Medicare supplement plans are available from private insurance companies and can complement your original Medicare. These plans may help pay some out-of-pocket expenses, as well as add coverage for dental or other types of care.

Part D plans are a specific type of supplemental coverage for prescription drugs. They add coverage to help you pay for medications.

Medicare Advantage plans, also known as Part C, offer an “all-in-one” alternative to purchasing original

DuluthReader.com

Medicare plus supplemental coverage.

Medicare Advantage plans cover all of the same benefits as original Medicare, plus a lot of the benefits you might get from Medicare supplement plans, including prescription drug coverage.

Only instead of having separate plans, you get it all from a single plan you purchase from a private insurance company.

Medicare Advantage plans frequently offer a lot of perks as well, such as health and wellness programs, member discounts, and more.

A number of private insurance companies offer Medicare Advantage plans in Minnesota, including: • Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota • UCare Minnesota • Humana Insurance Company • Medica Health Plans • HealthPartners, Inc. • Allina Health and Aetna Insurance Company • Sierra Health and Life Insurance Company Inc. • Blue Plus • PacifiCare Life Assurance Company • Aetna Life Insurance Company • Group Health Plan Inc. (MN) • South Country Health Alliance • Quartz Health Plan MN Corporation • PrimeWest Rural MN Health Care Access Initiative • Itasca Medical Care • Anthem Insurance Companies Inc. These are listed in order of highest to lowest Medicare Minnesota enrollment. Plan offerings may vary by county.

You can begin the process of enrolling in Medicare three months before your 65th birthday. This is when your initial enrollment period begins.

It then continues for three months after you turn 65. It usually makes sense to enroll in at least Part A at this time, assuming you qualify for Part A without paying a premium, even if you or your spouse continue to qualify for health insurance through an employer.

If you choose not to enroll in Part B during this time, you’ll be able to enroll in a special enrollment period later on.

Liar’s alert of highest order issued – again Author’s note: I have updated a previous column. That’s all I can do at this point about this guy.

The National Union of Friendly Americans (NUFA) has issued a “Liar’s Alert of the Highest Degree” for any statement offered by our president Payosa Loco, the Crazy Clown.

NUFA’s crack Truth or Consequences Squad has never recorded such a high level of lying, falsifying, prevar-

FROM THE SIDE

FORREST JOHNSON

icating, deceiving, misinforming, exaggerating, distorting, concocting, misrepresenting, dissembling or deluding.

The debate has raged at NUFA bars and lounges nationwide between the various psychological and philosophical agencies that determine who’s friendly and who’s just plain not friendly and, thus, not deserving of the personal bartender guaranteed for all members in good standing.

Some in the organization believe Payosa Loco is more than “not friendly,” believing him to be mentally unstable.

In a letter signed by at least 35 NUFA psychiatrists, psychologists and poets, the case was laid out carefully.

Thank you to Lance Dodes and

Joseph Schachter of our Beverly Hills, California chapter for deliberating.

“Mr. Trump’s speech and actions demonstrate an inability to tolerate views different from his own, leading to rage reactions. His words and behavior suggest a profound inability to empathize. Individuals with these traits distort reality to suit their psychological state, attacking facts and those who convey them.

“In a powerful leader, these attacks are likely to increase, as his personal myth of greatness appears to be confirmed. We believe that the grave emotional instability indicated by Mr. Trump’s speech and actions makes him incapable of serving safely as president.”

On the other hand is a differing opinion by our foremost authority, the Exalted Shack Master. When he’s not marching around the shack, carrying on with his silly Napoleonic demands he’s not such a bad fellow.

Remember, no one can sneak across NUFA’s very open and welcoming borders without being friendly.

Thank you to Allen Frances of our Coronado, California chapter for interpreting the words of our beloved and irascible Exalted Shack Master.

“He may be a world class narcissist, but this doesn’t make him mentally ill, because he does not suffer from the distress and impairment required to diagnose mental disorder. Mr. Trump causes severe distress rather than experiencing it and has been richly rewarded, rather than punished, for his grandiosity, self-absorption and lack of empathy. It is a stigmatizing insult to the mentally ill (who are mostly well behaved and well meaning) to be lumped with Mr. Trump (who is neither).

“Psychiatric name-calling is a misguided way of countering Mr. Trump’s attack on democracy. He can, and should, be appropriately denounced for his ignorance, incompetence, impulsivity and pursuit of dictatorial powers. His psychological motivations are too obvious to be interesting, and analyzing them will not halt his headlong power grab. The antidote to a dystopic Trumpean dark age is political, not psychological.”

Those two viewpoints certainly hit the nail on the head, even in their differences over what might be termed as mentally ill and what is termed a looney human being acting as our president.

We at NUFA weren’t quite sure what to call his last Thursday rumble with reporters at the New York Times. Was it a press conference or a psychiatric exam? What we certainly know is that whatever it was it wasn’t friendly.

At NUFA, it’s all about being friendly, kindly, amiable, neighborly, sociable, civil, attentive, agreeable, accommodating, pleasant, cordial and congenial.

The man frightens small children and dogs. Forget that he has frightened over 62 percent of the population at this point in his presidency. The man scares small children and dogs. He is not friendly.

Is he nuts or a narcissist to the degree we haven’t encountered before in recent human history?

It doesn’t matter. He scares small children and dogs. He is not friendly.

He is a liar, a prevaricator, deceiver, perjurer, falsifier and a fibber.

Supporters clinging to the hope that he’ll mend his ways and actually think about one single person, let alone the rest of the country, without it having to massage his fragile ego, will be sorely disappointed.

It won’t be long now.

The man is just not friendly.

The National Union of Friendly Americans (NUFA) “Liar’s Alert of the Highest Order” takes effect immediately. NUFA will see to it that Payosa Loco can’t sidestep deception much longer. As noted in an earlier column, his personal bartender and NUFA privileges for members in good standing have been revoked. His sorry appeal was denied. And if history is any judge, when that happens, it’s never long before narcissists and nincompoops are back at the door, begging to be let back in.

It feels good to do good, to take care of each other and our community – especially during times of widespread uncertainty. The coronavirus pandemic has restricted many of our usual volunteer opportunities – many of our usual

neighborhood cleanups have been postponed until it is safe for groups to work again. But this hasn’t dampened our volunteer spirit and desire to help others and the environment.

The 2020 Virtual Twin Ports Coastal Cleanup is part of a global project called The International Coastal Cleanup.

Since the Cleanup began in 1986, nearly 12 million people – all volunteers – from more than 90 countries and 55 U.S. states and territories have taken hands-on action to clean shores around the planet.

The Cleanup’s effectiveness continues long after the last bag of trash is hauled away and the tired volunteers go home. Many cleanups plant the seeds for local recycling campaigns, public education programs, adopt-abeach programs, and even stormwater system overhaul and legislative reform.

Antony Simrak 10/15/1990 – 8/4/2020 Antony David Frank Simrak, 29, of Greenwood, IN, formerly of Vernon Hills, Ill., and Duluth, died after an unexpected cardiac arrest.

Antony grew up on ice hockey, summer fishing trips to Mesaba Park, and MidSummerfest Camping trips before moving to Illinois in his late teens. After spending most of his adult life in the building trades as a roofer, Tony planned to start his own construction company with his best friend Chaz. Ever ready when those important to him needed a hand, he was a good, solid man. In finding a deep sense of pride in a hard days work, done well, and dedicating every breath to providing for his family, Tony inspired the pride of his loved ones every day. His children were the center of his universe – nothing made him happier than being a dad.

Antony leaves behind his grieving fiance, Lauren Fishero, his beloved children Kennadi, Kyle, Tanner and a stepdaughter, Monroe.

Mourning his loss are his mother Eden Lake (Gary), grandmother Deb Simrak, uncle Mik, great grandmother Josephine, his big floofy dog Odysseus Brutus, many aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, and fish (he leaves behind many relieved fish in Northstar lake, at least until his kids start fishing there). Surely Tony’s crossing was soothed by the warm and waiting love of his great grandparents Frank & Viola Simrak and Ike Hawley,

Get the family to wash the car

Dear Readers: Washing the car can be a fun family activity. Let’s do it safely, and water-wise: • The correct cleaner is critical. Use soap formulated for the car. Never use dish soap; its grease-cutting formula can strip the wax and dull the finish of the car.

• If somebody drops the sponge, it’s out of the game. Tiny rocks and gravel picked up off the ground can scratch the car.

• Don’t wash the car in direct sunlight. In the shade is best.

• Rinse using a light spray, not a strong, powerful stream of water.

• Dry the car with a soft microfiber towel. – Heloise

What does ‘do no harm’ mean?

Yes, America is truly exceptional in the health care business!

In 1833 conservative German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck created the first universal health care system in the world because he recognized it was the job of government to protect all Germans.

In addition to the Insurance Bill of 1883, he passed the Accident Insurance Bill of 1884, and the Old Age and Disability Bill of 1889. Imagine that, a German conservative passing all that socialistic crap!

In fact, over the years, many European countries followed his lead.

During WW II, conservative Prime Minister Winston Churchill of Great Britain, who would have had a stroke

if anyone called him a socialist, endorsed a universal health care plan in a speech to the Royal Academy of Physicians: “The discoveries of healing science must be the inheritance of all.

That is clear. Disease must be attacked, whether it is in the poorest or the richest man or woman simply on the ground it is the enemy; and it must be attacked just as in the same way as the fire brigade will give its full assistance to the humblest cottage as readily as to the most important mansion.

Our policy is to create a national health service in order to ensure that everybody in the country, irrespective of means, age, sex, or occupation, shall have opportunities to benefit from the best and most

up-to-date medical and allied services available.”

Can you imagine Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, one of the most fake “conservatives” in the Divided States of America, mouthing those words?

The British National Health Service plan was finally passed by the Labor Party in 1948. It only took 65 years after von Bismarck’s efforts.

Why have we failed to pass a universal health care program?

Yes, we are an exceptional country.

We are the only developed country without a universal health care plan.

Instead of providing health care as described by von Bismarck and Churchill, we have allowed the “free market” to gouge the sick and the dying – and the well – for generations, creating $100 million-a-year insurance executives, $13 billion families in the “legal” drug cartels, and many-billiondollar “non-profit” hospital chains.

Are doctors still taking the Hippocratic oath of “do no harm” when 550,000 Americans file bankruptcy every year because of obscene medical charge lists?

Here is a short history of the numerous and interminable attempts to get universal coverage for Americans.

In 1935 FDR passed the Social Security Act that von Bismarck passed in 1889 – but thought adding universal health care would be too much at that time because of the Great Depression.

The cries of “SOCIALIZED MEDICINE!” by the Republicans surfaced in 1948 when Harry Truman tried to pass a national nonprofit health insurance program after his rather surprise victory over Tom Dewey. Harry called it “simple Christianity,” but the Republicans remained heathens and atheists.

Dwight Eisenhower in 1952 expressed interest in a universal plan because of military veterans, but couldn’t bring his political party around.

Richard Nixon and JFK were noshows.

LBJ, one of the most effective politicians to ever hold the presidency, passed Medicare that Truman had pushed. In fact, he went to Kansas to sign the bill in Harry’s presence.

Actually Ted Kennedy came up with the first Medicare-for-All bill and introduced it in the Senate. Tricky Dick fought the proposal.

Jimmy Carter then promised a national universal plan in his political platform but then ran into fossil fuel and Iran hostage problems.

And then came Ronald Reagan, whose “shining city on a hill” did not include residents with pre-existing conditions, mental or physical disabilities, or usual or exotic diseases.

Ronnie was a movie actor who played a president on TV, endorsing the free markets and tax cuts to make more millionaires. His favorite phrase?

“Socialized medicine!”

Next came First Lady Hillary Clinton tasked by Bill to do health care “reform.” She formed the Jackson Hole Study Group, known for its number of corporate lobbyists supported by doctors, insurance companies, and hospital chains. Many of the participants had second homes at Jackson Hole, a playground for the rich.

Hillary’s bill came to 1,342 pages. It was rejected for its complexity and failure to control costs.

Bush ‘41 went to war in the Gulf and Iraq, said “Read my lips, no new taxes,” provoked a recession, and never mentioned health care.

Bush ’43 attacked Iraq, passed a big tax cut, and then caused a “huge” recession, and never mentioned health care. They had only three interests: low taxes, fat wallets and Kennebunkport.

Then came Obamacare. It didn’t cut obscene costs but it did force insurance companies to actually cover those who were sick and dying instead of the healthy. But it still left 20 million Americans without health insurance and a bureaucracy that costs 20% of every health care dollar to administer.

Medicare-for-All will cost less than two percent.

We currently have 900 health insurance companies in the U.S. The average health insurance CEO salary in 2019 was $18 million. Their combined salaries would pay for 800,000 family insurance policies or about 11,000 heart transplants. David Wichmann’s total compensation in 2019 as CEO of

United Health Group was $52,421,104.

That would take care of a lot of stitches.

Headline: How much does gall bladder surgery cost? $5,865 or $94,897 For more than 65 years of my life I have had an ever-increasing interest in the cost of health care because a family with seven very active children consumes a lot of it, starting with the costs of birthing.

While growing up on a poor farm, I didn’t see a doctor until a dentist filled cavities for me while going through Marine Corps boot camp. Later, getting a $100 bill for two stitches in a young daughter’s finger concentrated my mind on costs. We have had the usual share of broken legs, broken collarbones, two sons with celiac disease, various other diseases, two hip replacements, bone transplants, one knee replacement, and two knee operations, just to name just a few encounters with those who take the Hippocratic oath: “Do no harm.”

Over the years the doctors have done no harm. In fact the repair rate has been superb. I have also spent 28 years on both sides of the table negotiating salaries, health insurance, and fringe benefits for more than 1,000 teachers and employees. One gains a little knowledge in the resulting arguments.

The real harm comes from a profitdriven “system” which doesn’t work for the health consumer. It works for the investor.

Corky had to have gall bladder removal surgery about six months ago.

She said: “This pain is 10 times worse than having a baby.” The surgery took place during COVID-19 so I couldn’t go to the hospital with her. So I went to the computer to check out the surgery. I found it takes between 1-2 hours and is not very complicated.

I was intrigued by a 2014 headline on Google about the cost: “How Much Does Gall Bladder Surgery Cost? $5,865 to $94,897.” I wonder what it

would be today. Unusual range, but this is the U.S.A “system.”

I probably don’t have copies of all the bills yet going to Medicare and our insurance company, but at this moment her surgery cost well more than $1,000 dollars for every “awake” hour spread over a day and one-half: (1) Emergency room: $2,595; (2) Cardiology, echocardiology, electrocardiogram: $2,938; (3) Drugs: $743; (4) IV therapy: $908; (5) Laboratory fees: $1,081; (6) Medical supplies: $1,499.42; (7) Operating room services: $9,689; ( 8) Imaging services: $1,528; (9) Diagnostic radiology: $330; (10) Recovery room: $2,192; (11) Treatment or observation: $1,692.80.

That’s about $30,000 so far. I don’t think I have the surgeon’s bill yet. The surgeon called me and said it “went well.” There are about 600,000 gall bladder operations each year. Even if I don’t see any more bills, it certainly went well for the hospital’s profit line.

I hope I end up better than 35-yearold Justin Evans of Bonney, Wash., who has Premera Blue Cross insurance through his machine and fabrication shop employer. His emergency gall bladder surgery took only 13 hours of hospital time from emergency room to discharge. His hospital bill was $44,000 – but did not include ultrasound.

X-ray, anesthesiologist, surgeon fees or other charges yet! His out-of-pocket expenses at the moment are $6,104.64.

Maybe his bill will hit the $90,000 range.

ZIP codes live to be 61.

Brits, Canadians, and Australians on average live to be almost 82 while Americans live to be 78.5.

To break it down by Republican red states and Democratic blue, Americans in red states live to be 76.5 and those in blue states live to be 81. Although we still have 30 million uninsured (due to COVID-19 we temporarily have about 60 million), all of the blue states have approved Medicaid coverage for the poor under Obamacare while most of the red states have not. Americans in some of the uncovered red states are now revolting against their Trumplican legislatures (read about the most recent one, Missouri) who banned it.

Bloomberg is one of the most credible research firms in the world.

A brother and sister who lived in LA for most of their lives always went to Mexico for all medical and dental needs.

An Austin, Texas medical facility charges $6,550 for a complete gall bladder surgery. The medical Tourism Corporation based in the U.S. guarantees gall bladder surgery in several foreign countries for $4,600 to $6,000, including trips from and to local airports!

At the Democratic National Convention, 1,069 delegates voted to reject the Democratic platform because it did not contain Medicare-for-All.

In order to move to universal care we must put the head of the Trump-ism cult in the basket below the Big Razor.

The only way to solve the greatest economic inequality in the world, we must get millions of young people presently imprisoned in their parent’s basements by student debt to the polls to vote for Medicare-for-All. The evidence is overwhelming that our “system” is sucking the poor Ninety Percent dry.

Since January, Big Pharma has raised the prices of 245 drugs, including 61 used in the treatment of COVID-19.

Insurance and drug companies eat up 20% of all money spent on health care with administrative paper-work, excessive advertising, sale commissions, lavish executive and CEO salaries, and excessive profits.

None of that will change with Joe Biden’s government option.

Health insurance companies do not heal or treat anyone. Let’s close them down and retrain their workers to actually treat and heal people.

The latest poll says 69% of registered voters support Medicare-for-All. Meanwhile, with their heads in the sand or somewhere, the Democratic National Committee voted down an amendment supporting Medicarefor-All in the party platform 125-36, proving they are out of touch with the voters – and the country.

Why Bloomberg ranks the divided states 50th in health care coverage

If you can afford it, an American pays twice as much for health care as any other person in the world.

But most Americans can’t afford it.

Greater Minnesota solar projects highlight utility plans for speeding up green economy

By Gregg Aamot| MinnPost contributing writer When Minnesota’s largest utilities released plans for putting people to work during a sagging economy while also speeding up the state’s transition to green energy, solar energy topped two of the companies’ lists.

The June proposals

by Xcel Energy and Minnesota Power, which include solar projects at four sites in Greater Minnesota, came at the urging of the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission, which had asked the big utilities it regulates to move up the completion dates of energy projects that were in the works.

The commission must now consider the plans, along with those put forward by other utilities, for approval. “It was nice to see that they gave us a lot to work with,” said Joseph Sullivan, the utilities commissioner who first floated the idea for sped-up projects in May. “They really stepped up.”

The announcements highlight the role that green-energy projects might play in a COVID-damaged economy, which gained further momentum in a jobs report released June 25 by a business-oriented energy group.

The study, issued by Clean Energy Economy Minnesota, said that more than 11,000 workers in the green-

energy sector in Minnesota have filed for unemployment benefits since the COVID pandemic began in March.

The group defined such workers as those involved in energy efficiency, clean fuels and other areas. The report was based on an analysis of U.S. Department of Labor statistics.

The proposals appeared in lengthy documents submitted to the MPUC in response to its request.

Xcel Energy offered the most ambitious slate: $3 billion worth of projects that could generate as many as 5,000 jobs. The centerpiece is a solar project at the company’s coal-fired Sherco Power Plant near Becker in central Minnesota’s Sherburne County.

It could cost as much as $650 million

and would provide enough energy to power 240,000 homes.

In an interview with MinnPost, Christopher Clark, Xcel’s president for Minnesota and the Dakotas, said it makes sense for the company to add solar power to the Sherco plant, which has shuttered some of its coal-burning capacity. “We thought it was a great fit for this opportunity that the (MPUC) has identified,” he said.

The company also proposes to spend $1 billion or more on upgrades to its wind farms or to possibly purchase additional wind energy.

Minnesota Power, in its submission, included solar projects at two existing locations – its Laskin Energy Center Park in Hoyt Lakes, on the Iron Range, and its Sylvan Hydro Station near Brainerd – and another at a site in Duluth. The company, which serves a swath of central and northeastern Minnesota, said the projects would cost an estimated $40 million and power at least 4,000 homes.

Bethany Owen, president and CEO of Allete, Minnesota Power’s parent company, said in a news release [PDF] that the solar arrays will help the company reach its goal of generating half of its energy through renewable sources by 2021. Minnesota Power already runs a 10-megawatt solar array at Camp Ripley, the Minnesota National Guard base near Little Falls.

The fast-moving developments in Minnesota’s utility industry illustrate

the impact the COVID pandemic is having on the state’s green economy.

Clean Energy Economy Minnesota, in its jobs report, said green energy jobs, before the pandemic, had been growing 2.5 times faster than jobs in the overall economy. The 11,000 workers who applied for unemployment represent about 18 percent of the green-energy workforce, the organization said. Gregg Mast, the group’s executive director, said the agency believes “clean energy businesses are uniquely situated to help repower the economy.”

Xcel Energy had planned to have its new solar projects on its grid by 2026. Under its fresh plan, according to Clark, those projects could be ready by 2023 or even earlier – though that depends on a host of factors, including the timeliness of permits and the strength of equipment supply chains.

Amy Rutledge, a spokeswoman for Minnesota Power, said in an email that the company hopes for a quick turnaround from the MPUC. The company included nine letters of support from city and county officials in its filing with the agency.

“We certainly hope our projects will be approved as quickly as is possible and will work with the Commission to help ensure the process is efficient so we can expedite these projects and help get our communities on the road to economic recovery,” she said.

An almost history One of the more worrisome (in my view) shifts in American teaching is the adoption of the Social Justice (or its other name Social Judgment) model to augment (as in replace) classes in civics and history.

Contents of a single course cannot cover all the angles fairly and in detail. Impossible, but that doesn’t mean, as justice proponents say, that judging events according to the political view of the moment is better. Might be worse; ‘deed I think it is by fostering simplistic judgments favoring a foregone conclusion.

Seemingly preordained infallible judgements are the fatal flaw of authoritarian beliefs whether political or religious. It’s a dangerous (often leading to bloodshed) folly when religious believers are told to act on the basis that ALL truth is held in a single divine text. Just as bad if believers get their dose of ALL truth in a political inspiration; revelation-inspiration being kissing cousins so to speak.

Neither politicians nor prophets have seen ALL or known ALL. Never have and never will. However, give them power to grant favors and decide fates and most-all us ordinary folk will go along, won’t we? Agree or die is, I’ll remind, not truly a form of free expression. In the actual world where none knows ALL political power dominates truth same as a hand is the power in a glove.

So OK, I’m deeply skeptical of systems driven by ordained conclusions; I find them harmfully misleading. Any of the past’s significant movements or leaders had strong and weak areas. Slapping down a “this is good, that’s bad” conclusion is history’s easiest, dumbest part. A glimpse of the human and social complexities involved is much where the important action is found. The actual events I’ll tell of have three primary viewpoints, each with its own perceptions in the wake of WWI. One of the more interesting players is Poland.

For several hundred years before that nation had been partitioned out of existence with Germany/Prussia, Russia, and Austria/Hungary ruling its former lands.

Public use of Polish in speech or writing was forbidden. One result (and not a bad one in terms of strengthening mental capabilities)

was ordinary Poles memorizing their history and poetry and using Latin as a way of defying their outside overlords.

At the end of WWI the Allies put Poland back into existence as a buffer between newly Communist Russia and defeated Germany.

With newly established borders there was natural disagreement and confusion over the exact placement of lines.

The Ukraine, Russia and Poland were alternately challenging one another at many places along their new borders. (It should be a surprise to none that the Ukraine, Russia, etc. continue to feature in news and world events.)

The concerns of a newly reformed Poland were, you can easily imagine, seen differently from those of a nation such as Russia who had to relinquish its hold on those lands.

Three years into its new existence (once again blotted out by Communist and National Socialist pacts in WWII) border issues between Poland and Russia took a serious turn.

One side will blame the other, but it is unlikely that Communist General Tukachevsky acted independently of direction by Lenin or Stalin (at the time busy militarily consolidating Communist influence in the Ukraine).

A nation back on its feet a mere three years was suddenly faced by the Red Army intent on taking its capital (Warsaw) before moving on (an easy day’s drive in our time) to take Berlin and (as it appears) continue to spread the Communist Revolution throughout Europe seen as weak and ready to fall after the trials of WWI. One hundred years ago this month, three-year-old Poland was in no condition to militarily take on the Red Army moving to invade and capture Warsaw.

What to do? Polish leader Marshal Pilsudski said “We are too weak to defend so we must attack.” It is of course more complex than that, but that’s a reasonable summation.

People interested in a complex story are encouraged to look into what is sometimes referred to as the August Miracle because against great odds Poland stopped the Red Army taking Warsaw and going on from there. The Poles had the good fortune to have excellent code breakers (turned up later in Bletchley Park) giving forewarning

NORTHSHORE NOTES HARRY DRABIK

DuluthReader.com

of Red Army moves. They also blocked Red Army signals with transmission (in Latin) of random pages from the Bible to prevent messages getting through.

Able to block enemy communication and knowing enemy movement, Pilsudski knew where to strike with his outnumbered force. That, however, left Warsaw open to attack.

Again, what to do?

As the small Polish force left to attack the defense of its capital was assumed by rank and file Poles. Poorly equipped and untrained, ordinary citizens filled in the defensive lines.

Among them university and high school students, and Girl and Boy Scouts. Sadly, predictably too many of the youngest fell while slowing the Red Army so Pilsudski could attack. The young did not wish to die, but they were willing to make that sacrifice that their nation might live.

The bewildered Red Army returned to Russia. The dream to bring revolution throughout Europe fizzled. Stalin never forgave the Poles for 1920, in part explaining his later partnership with

Hitler for a new partition of Poland early in WWII. Knowing this snippet of RussianPolish history is likely of little importance to most readers who find no selfinterest in it.

Indeed, events of August 1920 seem of little moment, but consider the possibilities if Tukachevsky had succeeded and the Revolution advanced to Germany. Following the Marxist goal of socialism advancing to communism Hitler’s National Socialists might easily have become a larger force of National Communism.

Hitler was, after all, an able politician. Who among that sort won’t see political advantage and ride its wave to power?

Fortunately we can only speculate what “might have” had Hitler started decades earlier and National Socialism was unloosed as National Communism instead.

TASTE!

Whether planning a Labor Day cookout to say goodbye to summer or gearing up for a tailgate party, fall is a beautiful time of year for a barbecue.

Over the years, I’ve stumbled across several fall classics that have become favorites because they steer me toward wines I’ve pretty much ignored during the warmer summer months.

I will share three. First up is the grilled, boneless leg of lamb. While this dish might seem a bit ambitious for the grill, it’s actually quite easy and delicious and almost always foolproof. I season mine with kosher salt, coarse black pepper and rosemary. I also take it out of the fridge about an hour before I put it on the grill, allowing it to come up to room temperature.

Coat thoroughly with extra virgin olive oil, and place on the lower rack for 15 minutes. Flip it for another 15 minutes on the other side. It’s a crowd-pleaser because the narrow part of the leg will be well done, the ends medium-rare and the thickest parts rare. Serve a beautiful Duckhorn or Nickel & Nickel merlot and you will likely be

crowned the barbecue king.

Baby back ribs are another classic for fall grilling. I roast my ribs in the oven for two hours at 375 degrees, or until the meat begins to shrink and pull away from the bone, and then finish them on the grill for that smoky flavor.

Use indirect heat on the grill so the flame won’t burn the barbecue sauce you will carefully slather on during the final cooking stages. Serve with a spicy zinfandel from Runquist in the Sierra Foothills or a smooth and balanced Napa Valley zin from Grgich. The combination of sweet and spicy in the zin marries beautifully with the sweet, spicy and savory combination in baby backs!

Finally, I like to go against the grain and serve a buttery chardonnay with grilled salmon. The preferred narrative for salmon in recent years has been to pair it with pinot noir. That works, and I enjoy that combo as well. But I tend to shy away from rich chardonnays during the summer months, so it’s a joy to go back to these great wines as the weather cools, and I am more inclined to consume heavier whites.

A rich, oily chardonnay works beautifully with salmon, a rich, oily fish. Chardonnay also has the flavor oomph to handle the strong flavor of salmon. Serve up a beautiful Tongue Dancer, Lighthouse or Dutton Goldfield chardonnay and demonstrate your brilliance when it comes to matching great food with great wine.

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.

Chappellet 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon, Hideaway Vineyard, Napa Valley ($140) – The Chappellet family has probably done as much as any other family to cement the Napa Valley’s reputation for worldclass cabernet sauvignon. Its Hideway Vineyard cab from this vintage is a monumental red that delivers a massive palate of ripe blackberry and black currant fruit, with hints of cassis, oak vanillin and smooth, supple tannins. Rating: 98.

Paraduxx 2016 X2 Red Wine, Napa Valley ($100) – When Duckhorn started its Paraduxx project some years ago, the idea of blending cabernet sauvignon with zinfandel seemed fairly radical. Over the years, the combo has produced exceptional results, and Paraduxx wines now stand as some of the most impressive reds in the Napa Valley. The X2 is the World Series of Paraduxx blends. The winemaking team chooses only from the best barrels from the finest vineyard blocks of each vintage, ensuring a spectacular result.

The 2016 X2 is a monumental wine, remarkably complex and spicy. It has a juicy palate of red- and black-fruit aromas, firm tannins and the potential to improve with age for years to come.

Rating: 98.

Calera 2017 Pinot Noir, de Villiers Vineyard, Mt. Harlan ($75) – This

vintage from the de Villiers vineyard is richly layered, with impressive depth and complexity of fruit expression, beautifully integrated tannins and a touch of earthiness. Rating: 96.

Cascina Castlet 2016 Barbera d’Asti ‘Passum,’ Italy ($65) – Castlet’s Passum Barbera from Asti is a muscular red with impressive structure, fresh acidity, intense aromas of black cherry and blackberry, and a beautiful note of oak spice. It’s built for the long haul, so additional cellaring is highly recommended. Rating: 95.

Merry Edwards 2018 Pinot Noir, Olivet Lane, Russian River Valley ($72) — This is perhaps the top vineyard in the galaxy of splendid Merry Edwards vineyard designates. The 2018 Olivet Lane shows fresh raspberry and a hint of forest floor on the nose, with excellent depth on the palate. The tannins are supple and smooth in this vintage, and the persistence of flavor through the finish is impressive.

Rating: 95.

Duckhorn 2017 Merlot, Carneros ($78) — Sourced from the coolest district in the Napa Valley, Duckhorn’s Carneros merlot is a beautifully structured red that exhibits power and richness on the palate; shows aromas of ripe plum, blueberry and cassis; and finishes with excellent persistence of flavor. Drink now, or cellar another five to eight years. Rating: 93.

Researchers looked at data from a national survey of more than 26,000 adults ages 20 to 79. Only 1 in 5 surveyed adopt four or more of the healthy behaviors, and nearly half participate in fewer than three.

The study was published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine in April 2020.

Why do these behaviors matter?

The better your habits (and the more of these five habits you accomplish), the more your quality of life can be improved and the less likely you will be to develop a chronic disease.

Just what does a healthy diet entail?

Let’s go back to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s MyPlate. It’s an easy-tounderstand plan that doesn’t require counting calories.

Fill half your plate with fruits and vegetables, a fourth of your plate with lean protein (it can be from plants or lean meats) and a fourth of your plate with whole grains (quinoa, brown rice, teff, whole-wheat pasta or bread). Have a side of low-fat dairy.

That plan can be more challenging at breakfast, but think of a wholegrain, high-protein cereal with skim milk and berries, or whole-wheat toast

with peanut butter and a banana. Add a glass of low-sodium vegetable juice for a balanced meal.

You could also add spinach, onions and mushrooms to an omelet or scrambled eggs with a side of fruit or a smoothie with protein powder and spinach or kale.

The bottom line? It would be good for all of us to add as many of these healthy habits to our daily routines as we can.

Q and A Q: What are sugar alcohols?

A: Sugar alcohols are used to add sweetness and bulk to certain foods. They are often used as a sugar substitute because they contain fewer calories than regular sugar. They are often added to sugar-free candy, cookies and gum. And they are useful, in that respect, for someone trying to reduce their sugar or calorie intake.

However, too much of them can cause diarrhea. Moderation is always the key.

RECIPE If you’ve got an air fryer, here’s a great recipe to try. The air fryer lowers the fat in food while still

making it crispy. This recipe for Mediterranean Chicken Bowls is from Good Housekeeping.

MEDITERRANEAN CHICKEN BOWLS 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 teaspoon dried oregano 1 teaspoon ground sumac Salt and pepper 1 pint cherry tomatoes 1 medium onion, roughly chopped 1 cup couscous 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest 1 tablespoon lemon juice Lemon wedges, for serving

1/4 cup fresh dill, divided Crumbled feta cheese, for serving In large bowl, toss chicken with oil, oregano, sumac and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Add tomatoes and onion, and toss to combine. Arrange in even layer in air fryer basket, and air fry at 400 degrees F, shaking basket occasionally, until chicken is golden-brown and cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Meanwhile, toss couscous with lemon zest, and prepare according to package directions. Fluff with fork, and fold in lemon juice and 2 tablespoons dill. Serve chicken and vegetables over couscous, spooning any juices from the air fryer over top. Sprinkle with remaining dill and feta, and serve with lemon wedges, if desired. Serves 2-4.

There’s a glass for every beer The flourishing craft beer movement has made it chic to choose beer as the social drink of choice.

nuanced flavors.

To further enhance the beer-drinking experience, enthusiasts may give more thought to the glasses their beers are in. Much in the way that certain foods and beverages go together, choosing the right glassware in which to serve a favorite beer can affect its flavor.

According to Inverse, an American digital media company covering topics in culture, technology and science, there are many different glassware manufacturers touting that beer is better in the right glasses. In fact, Riedel, the Austrian glass manufacturer that pioneered the concept of wine-enhancing glasses, recently turned its attention to the beer market. The company’s Spiegelau brand launched a special line of beer glasses, each custom built to enhance particular varieties of beer.

The concept behind beer glasses is that the dimensions of the vessel can impact how the beer is experienced via the senses. The right glassware can highlight the notable aspects of certain varieties of beer.

For example, Henry Lau and Rik Sargent of Physics.org’s Cheers Physics explained that, with fizzy beers, a thin, pilsner-style glass can be ideal.

Such a glass will cause less liquid to come in contact with the bottom of the glass, causing a smaller head.

In other instances, glasses with a tapered top will control how bubbles burst in the head of beer, concentrating the aroma and forcing

the drinker’s nose closer to the beer.

Spiegelau’s IPA glass has a ridged base that helps agitate hops back into suspension. Its barrel-aged glass features a tulip bowl that focuses complex flavors similar to a wine glass.

Another glass innovator, the Rastal brand developed a universal beer glass called the TeKu that is inspired by wine glasses but features sharper contours and a flared lip. The style is designed to focus aromas, with the rim increasing turbidity as the beer flows to the lips and forces out the carbonation.

There are no rules governing which glasses to use when serving beer, but there’s certainly a movement for speciality beer glassware.

For those who are not ready to overhaul their beer glass collection just yet, these general recommendations can enhance the beer experience: • Mug: Stouts and porters • Pint glass: American lagers • Tulip glass: Belgian Abbey-style beers, barrel-aged, fruited beers and high-ABV beers • Cerveza Pilsner glass: Pilsners, helles and Vienna lagers • Classic pilsner: Sour beers, pilsners • Pub glass: Stouts, porters, ales, ambers, and moderate-ABV beers • Revival beer glass: IPAs

Kitchen safety strategies for home chefs There are many benefits to cooking at home. Preparing meals at home enables people to have greater control over the ingredients they use, reducing the risk of allergic reactions or food intolerances.

Cooking skills can be passed from parents to children at an early age, helping kids be more well-rounded as they age. Making meals at home also can be more cost-effective, as meals can be prepared at a fraction of the cost per person than similar meals purchased from restaurants.

As important as knowing one’s way around a whole chicken or a pot roast can be, it’s equally important to be knowledgeable about overall kitchen safety. Kitchens may be the heart of the home, but they’re also potentially dangerous. Burns, fires and lacerations are some common kitchen injuries. But some simple kitchen safety techniques can make cooking at home less risky.

• Wear shoes. Ever drop a knife?

Imagine that going into your foot.

Ouch! Wearing shoes while you cook is always recommended. Not only will the shoes protect you from a fallen sharp object, but they will also protect you from other kitchen mishaps such as broken glass and hot water or oil spills.

• Wear safe clothing. Do not wear long, baggy sleeves in the kitchen.

Can you imagine your sleeve catching fire on a gas stove? The outcome could be scary. In general, tops with fitted sleeves or no sleeves work best. Also, avoid wearing anything flammable or synthetic; when overheated, these fabrics can melt onto your skin.

• Wipe up spills. Avoid slips and falls by promptly mopping up spills.

If you can’t clean it up immediately because of a boiling pot of sauce or a smoking oven, toss a dishrag into the spill to remind yourself to clean it when you have a free moment.

• Stay close to the action. Always remain in the kitchen while cooking. It can take mere minutes for a fire to start or some other emergency to occur.

• Extinguish the fire. All fires need oxygen to burn. Placing a lid on a

pan can snuff out most fires. Baking soda also can stifle flames. If that doesn’t work, use a fire extinguisher or call the fire department. Never pour water on a grease fire, as doing so will only cause the flames to spread. Fires inside the oven can be put out by turning off the heat and leaving the door closed.

• Cut out cuts. Dull knives can be more dangerous to use than sharp ones, so keep all knives sharpened.

Use a slip-resistant cutting board and always cut away from the body and keep the fingers of the hand holding the food curled toward the palm. Store knives in a block rather than in a drawer. Exercise caution when using food processors or highspeed blenders, especially when cleaning the blades.

• Banish burns. Use oven mitts to remove hot foods from the oven, the stovetop or the microwave.

Don’t use fingers to test food temperatures. Also, let grease and cooking oil cool before moving it.

These are just a few of the many kitchen safety precautions to take when cooking at home.

Celebrating and preserving the harvest It’s the time of year our gardens are pumping out more produce that we know what to do with, and it’s also a perfect moment to pause and celebrate the abundance (which we can do together at the Duluth Community Garden Program’s Harvest Dinner on Saturday, Sept. 19, 5pm7pm in Leif Erickson Park!)

During the harvest season, have you ever had so much produce after returning to your garden that you get overwhelmed by how much you need to eat before it goes bad? Are you one of the mischievous souls who leaves bags of unwanted overgrown zucchini on neighbors’ doorsteps?

If you answered yes to either of these questions, or are just curious about what you can do with a surplus when you have one, then let’s talk about tips and tricks for preserving your harvest so you can enjoy a taste of summer in the middle of winter.

There is nothing more delicious than frozen fragrant pesto eaten with pasta with some sauteed garden summer squash on a cold and dark February evening, not just because of the awesome nutrients and flavors, but because it boosts your spirit and reminds you that warmer weather does exist. That reminder alone can carry you to a happy place in your mind, then add the knowledge that you have provided for yourself in a sustainable way, and sprinkle in some gratitude for the earth for supporting you, and a regular dinner can be transformed into a spiritual experience.

I think a lot of people get turned off by this task of preserving because they are wary of the amount of work that goes into it, or are scared that they may cause themselves to get sick.

There are many more ways to make your produce last longer than through the effort of canning, but let’s talk about this method before we move onto the “easier” methods.

Canning, for those of you unfamiliar, is a method of preserving food by heating and sealing the contents in an airtight container, with jam

probably being the most familiar reference point and commonly made item in the household. Because there is so much sugar in jam and citric acid from lemon juice which are both natural preservatives, it’s a relatively easy project to undertake and a great way to get your feet wet with the canning method. Homemade canned applesauce is also a great starting point.

When canning, it’s imperative that you start with sterilized jars and new lids to prevent the introduction of potentially deadly pathogens.

If you’re looking to experiment with canning, especially with your garden vegetables, always follow the University of Minnesota Extension’s canning quick reference chart to check processing times and if you need to add additional acid to make the final product safe.

If you have the time and energy, canning can be an excellent option since the jars only take up pantry space and they have a longer shelf life than other methods. My favorite way to use the canning method is for our excess tomatoes, which we turn into jars of marinara and salsa.

Probably my favorite and the “easiest” method of preserving our garden vegetables is by freezing, but there is always in issue with the real estate in our freezer.

My goal each autumn is to completely fill the freezer and pack it to the brim, so that we hopefully won’t

need to purchase vegetables until the farmer’s market or our garden starts producing again in the spring! A chest freezer would be super useful if you have one. My favorite things to freeze are summer squash and zucchini, broccoli, peppers, roasted tomatoes, kale, and pesto.

All of the fresh vegetable items need to be “blanched” before being put into freezer bags. The process of blanching is necessary because It slows or stops enzyme action which can cause loss of flavor, color and texture. It can also remove excess dirt or potential pathogens on the vegetable as well, and increases their shelf life in the freezer for up to a year.

Blanching may seem intimidating, but it’s really just chopping and trimming the vegetables, dropping them in boiling water until they look bright in color, moving them to ice water to arrest the cooking process, and draining before moving to freezer bags. Simply follow the U of M Extension website (seriously such a great resource!) for blanching directions. I like to freeze them flat, then once they are frozen they can be moved around and stacked to save valuable freezer space.

My next favorite method of preserving is making “quick pickles” or “fridge pickles.”

Pickles don’t need to be made of cucumbers!

There is a whole world of pickles to explore. I’ve made pickles out of

radishes, carrots, green beans, red onions, cucumbers and even pickled purslane (a common edible weed in the garden, it tasted excellent on a bison burger!).

I’m sharing my favorite recipe for quick pickles, so you can give it a try as well. I love how it’s so easy: you just pack the jars full of veggies, pour over the hot brine, put on the lid, then put in the fridge and you’re done! The jars taste the best within 3 months after making them, but I admit I have eaten them after 6 months.

Quick Pickle Recipe This recipe makes roughly enough for two pint jars or one quart jar, but if you have more vegetables to pickle just keep the water/vinegar/salt ratio the same and make as much brine as you need!

• About a pound of garden veggies; my favorites are radishes, carrots, green beans, red onions, cucumbers • Several springs of fresh dill (usually about 2-3 per pint, or 5-6 for quart jar) • Pinch of black peppercorns, and optional red pepper flakes • Several cloves garlic • 1 cup vinegar • 1 cup water • 1 tablespoon kosher salt 1. Wash your jars and lids in warm soapy water and set aside to dry.

2. Rinse, then cut veggies into desired shapes and sizes.

3. Add the flavoring: divide the peppercorns, garlic, pepper flakes, and dill evenly into the bottom of the jars.

4. Add the vegetables: Pack the veggies into the jars making sure there is 1/2 inch from the rim of the jar to the tops of the vegetables. Pack them as tightly as you can without smashing.

5. Make the brine: place vinegar, water, and salt into a pot over high heat. Bring it to a boil, stir to dissolve the salt, then pour the brine into the jars over the vegetables until it reaches within 1/2-inch of the top.

6. Remove air bubbles: gently tap jars against the counter a few times, and top off with more brine if necessary.

7. Seal the jars: place the lids on the jars and screw tight.

8. Cool and refrigerate: let the jars cool to room temperature. Store the pickles in the refrigerator. Wait at least 48 hours to enjoy!

THIS WEEK IN HISTORY Iron River, Wis., Man Fractures His Skull With Repeated Blows.

Iron River, Wis. (Special to The Herald) – Bert Peterson, a drayman of this place and about 40 years of age, attempted to beat out his brains yesterday with a hammer. He went to the barn and commenced to strike himself over the head. He was discovered by his children, but before they could interfere he had succeeded in fracturing his skull in places and inflicting a number of minor bruises.

He was taken to the hospital. It is not believed he can recover. He is supposed to have become demented by worry.

As the EVENING HERALD, predicted they would do, the county commissioners have revolved to purchase fire lots on the corner of Fifth avenue west and First street for a jail site and “other purposes,” the “other purposes” evidently meaning a court house. This action on their part does not meet with general approval.

Even though it might be the proper place for the court-house and the bargain struck with the owners of the land a good one – which we do not believe – there is a universal feeling that the commissioners have assumed too much and that the wishes of the people should have been considered in the matter. The action of the commissioners is not popular and it will be bitterly opposed by the large majority of the people.

It is stated that alleged Canadian timber depredators on the international boundary northwest of Duluth have been given ample time by the announcements of the government as to its investigations to cover up their tracks, and the government has been severely censured for making public its intentions of a thief hunting expedition. Just how timber choppers who are stated to have stolen 18,000,000 feet of pine a year along the Big and Little Fork rivers can cover up their tracks is unexplained and we don’t see any chance for an explanation. Cut forest and camps of choppers who can cut so great a quantity as 18,000,000 feet a year can not be covered up or hidden on request. But the fact of the whole matter is that there has not been anything like the robbery that has been claimed. Special correspondence in The Herald showed correct space

This stolen timber was sold to legitimate operators or floated at Rat Portage and sold there, and it is doubtful if any government expedition, however secret it might aim to be, could do anything more than stop future illegitimate timber industry.

Duluth Herald September 12, 1900 MINES FLOODED. Hale and Duluth Mines Filled With Water – Damage To Tracks.

Biwabik, Minn. (Special to The Herald) – The heavy and continued rains of the past week have done a great deal of damage in this vicinity to the mines. One of the heaviest rains ever experienced here took place Sunday night. So great was the rainfall that the immense pit at the Hale mine, covering many acres, was filled to the

top in half an hour. The Duluth mine also filled up so rapidly that the pumps were soon submerged. All the low areas in this vicinity are flooded. The Biwabik mine office and roundhouse were flooded to a depth of three feet.

Both railroad companies were heavy sufferers. Many of the tracks have been washed away and others rendered unsafe. Between Sparta and McKinley a washout compelled passengers to go a mile to make connections. It is reported that the dam at Upper Embarrass lake has broken loose. A wreck occurred in the Iron Range yards Monday night, several cars going down about five feet. The track in the vicinity had been washed out for half a block.

Along the road leading to the depot the flood threw large timbers.

Reports from the surrounding towns show that conditions there are just as bad, most of the opens mines being flooded. The losses on the range will probably aggregate $50,000 to the mining companies and railroads.

Duluth Herald September 8, 1922 WAR ROMANCE OF DULUTH VETERAN ENDS IN MARRIAGE Superior Soldier, Dying, Gave Louis Stone His Sweetheart’s Photo.

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT When Milton Helms, the first superior man killed in the World war, was dying on the battlefield near Chateau Thierry he gave his buddy, Louis Stone, a switchboard operator at the Duluth Edison company, a photograph of a girl. It was the dying man’s sweetheart, Dorothy Parkers of Durand, Wis. And just before he died Helms asked Stone to call on her some time after the war was over and tell her about “my last few minutes in the big fight.”

Then Helms closed his eyes in sleep as the American guns hammered away at the German lines that weakened a few days later and marked the turning point in the war.

This afternoon Stone, one of America’s army of disabled veterans, is on his way to Durand, where he and Miss Parkers will be married this evening.

Thus will end one of the real romances of the war – a tale that seems too unreal for story books.

When Helms was struck by an enemy shell he dropped alongside Stone, who picked him up and carried him to a sheltered spot. It was there

Stone kept the pledge and several months ago called on Miss Parkers at her home n Durand. The acquaintance ripened into a friendship and then into a love that will bring the two together at a wedding ceremony this evening.

After a short wedding trip they will come to Duluth to make their home.

Stone is one of the real veterans of the war, with four years’ service in both the Canadian and American armies.

He was wounded three times and spent considerable time in hospitals.

Smith Act invoked against Minnesota members of Socialist Workers Party in ‘41 In 1941, Minneapolis leftists from the Socialist Workers Party and Teamsters union local 544 were accused of conspiracy to overthrow the government under the Alien Registration Act. Twenty-nine were indicted; 18 were convicted and sentenced to prison.

On June 28, 1940, the “Alien Registration Act” (or “Smith Act,” after its author, Virginia senator Howard W. Smith) was signed into law. In addition to requiring immigrant registration, the act outlawed “subversive activity” – that is, activity that seeks to undermine or overthrow the government from within.

The first citizens accused of breaking this law were members of the Socialist Workers Party (SWP) and/or Teamsters local 544. Many SWP members had been leaders in the Minneapolis 1934 Truckers’ Strike and still held important union positions.

J. Edgar Hoover, director of the FBI, worried that the SWP’s anti-war position and its ability to organize transportation workers threatened national security. If transportation workers were to strike, it could disrupt the national war effort. Hoover was

Sixth St. in St. Paul.

On July 15, a federal grand jury indicted 29 people for violating the Smith Act. The main defendants were James P. Cannon, Dr. Grace Carlson, Harry DeBoer, Farrell Dobbs, V. R. Dunne, Max Geldman, Albert Goldman and Carl Skoglund. (Grant Dunne was also among the accused but committed suicide before the trial.) All the defendants had ties to the labor movement, mostly for involvement in the 1934 Minneapolis Truckers’ Strike and Works Progress Administration (WPA) strikes.

The trial began on October 27, 1941, with 28 defendants (the judge later dismissed charges against five). The prosecution, represented by Victor Anderson, began its case on Oct. 29.

They argued that the Trotskyists were using their influence in local 544 to disrupt the nation’s industrial sector as a precursor to revolution.

They cited the existence of the “Union Defense Guard” – a unit formed to fight the fascist threat of the Silver Shirts – to argue that

the defendants advocated violent resistance. According to Anderson, Marxist ideas were inherently seditious because they predicted and supported revolution.

The defense, led by Goldman, argued that the socialists did not present a “clear and present danger” to the U.S. government. In the Supreme Court case of Whitney vs. California, Justices Brandeis and Holmes had found that citizens forfeited their right to free speech only if they presented a “clear and present danger.”

The defense countered the accusation that they were planning violence by explaining their Marxist view that the fall of capitalism was inevitable and would involve violence. They did not advocate that violence; rather they predicted it.

Furthermore, the SWP was a legitimate political party working within the government system. The accusation that their beliefs were illegal, they argued, was a violation of their first amendment rights to free speech.

It acquitted five defendants and found the remaining 18 guilty of alleging seditious speech, publications and associations. On Dec. 8, the 18 were sentenced to prison. The longest term served was sixteen months.

During the appeals process, the 18 spoke in public and raised funds through the Civil Rights Defense Committee (CRDC).

In two years, the CRDC took in $39,010 for defense and appeals. The defendants gained the support of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), and more than a hundred labor unions and trade councils, representing over two million workers.

Having lost their appeal to the Supreme Court, the guilty parties turned themselves in on Dec. 31, 1943. Most went to Sandstone Federal Prison in Minnesota.

Although some retired from political life after their release, Carlson, Dobbs and Dunne ran for office for the SWP. Through the early 1980s, the defendants sought a Presidential pardon. In 1981, Dobbs filed suit against the FBI for illegal surveillance; in 1986, after his death, the FBI admitted to its illegal acts.

type layers beneath the veneer, each piece is more stable than solid wood as the humidity level changes.

Most people stain the wood for a rich, warm, natural appearance. If you plan to paint the wainscoting, select a kit made with a lowerpriced synthetic veneer. This can also look very nice when finished in contrasting colors to the basic wall color.

For a completely unique design, you may be able to locate a local woodworking shop to make wainscoting pieces per your specific design. Expect this method to be very expensive. Hyde Park Lumber and Elite Trimworks offer standard wainscoting kits for doit-yourselfers. Elite Trimworks sells small samples of patterns for $15 so you can actually see the pattern before ordering a complete kit.

When you determine the cost to do a room, keep in mind most people do not install wainscoting on all the walls. It actually looks better and more tasteful when just one or two walls are done. Plan on doing the plain walls without

windows or doors, because installing wainscoting around window openings takes some practice to fit properly.

The key to a quality installation of a wainscoting kit is accurately measuring the wall initially. Always measure twice to be safe. The wainscoting pieces can be glued or nailed directly over the old drywall, so you will not have to spend much time preparing the wall surface. Use a stud finder to locate the position of the wall stud. Make small marks on the wall above where the wainscoting will be installed.

Another important installation tip is to use a level to be sure the initial base rail is perfectly level.

How well all of the other pieces will fit together is based upon the base rail. Electrical outlets look best when they are located in one of the flat panels. This may require you to reposition an outlet or two.

Dear EarthTalk: Is the profusion of lawn chemicals causing the rise in canine cancer rates, and if so, how can I protect my dog? – Bill W., Ithaca, NY Unfortunately, the answer may very well be yes. A 2012 study published in the peer-reviewed scientific journal Environmental Research found that exposure to certain lawn care products, such as the nearly ubiquitous herbicide 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2 4-D for short), increases dogs’ chances of developing Canine Malignant Lymphoma (CML) by 70 percent.

When ingested repeatedly, 2 4-D acts as an endocrine disruptor, mutating a dog’s white blood cell count allowing malignant tumor cells to replicate unchecked.

While obviously worrisome for dogs and those of us who love them, the implications for people aren’t good either, given the similarities between

the onset of CML in canines and nonHodgkin’s lymphoma in humans.

A 2013 study in another peerreviewed journal, Science of the Total Environment, found that “exposure to herbicide-treated lawns has been associated with significantly higher bladder cancer risk in dogs.”

Certain breeds of dogs (terriers, beagles, sheep dogs) are at greater risk, but needless to say lots of 2 4-D or other synthetic lawn chemicals like glyphosate (the active ingredient in RoundUp) aren’t good for dogs of any stripe.

“A strong justification for the work was that dogs may serve as sentinels for potentially harmful environmental exposures in humans,” report the researchers behind the bladder cancer study.

What can you do to help prevent more dogs (and humans) from getting sick?

For starters, avoid using lawn care

chemicals around your home. And if you hire or manage someone else to take care of your yard, make sure they are not using 2 4-D, glyphosate or any other potentially hazardous pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers.

Getting rid of your lawn altogether and replacing it with regionally adapted native plants that don’t need fertilizers or pesticides to thrive is another way to protect dogs from chemicals while saving yourself the trouble of having to mow the lawn.

If you can’t live without a grassy green lawn and can’t bear to just let it go wild, opt for all-natural, organic inputs. For instance, organic compost distributed across your lawn with a shovel in a thin layer can do just as well or better at nourishing your grass as chemical fertilizers. For weed control (beyond good-old hand-pulling), a great all-natural alternative to RoundUp is BurnOut, which uses the power of food-grade vinegar and clove oil instead of glyphosate to eradicate unwanted plants.

As for protecting your dog while out on a walk, steer clear of private lawns, even if you have to leash Fido to keep him out of neighbors’ yards. And the days of letting your dog run free in parks where your municipality may use questionable landscaping chemicals are over now that we know the potential consequences. Fortunately, many enlightened cities and towns have taken steps to rid their publicly accessible lands of such hazardous treatments.

But you won’t know unless you ask, so contact your local parks department to find out exactly what they’re spraying. And if you don’t like the answer, rally other dog owners to help get it changed, for dogs’ sake.

ment that has turmeric in it, and that seems to help as well. My memory and cognitive abilities are much improved over what they were when I was taking the statin.

A: Statin-type cholesterollowering drugs such as atorvastatin, rosuvastatin and simvastatin are very effective at lowering LDL cholesterol.

They can, however, cause muscle pain. There is even a name for this common complication: statin-associated muscle symptoms, SAMS. Although many readers report that taking the supplement Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) helps ease this pain, a meta-analysis did not support this benefit (Atherosclerosis, April 2020). On the other hand, a literature review suggests that antioxidants and nutrients, particularly caffeine, vitamin E and turmeric, may help reduce oxidative stress in the brain and slow the progression of dementia (Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease Reports, June 16, 2020). This may explain why your mental acuity seems to be improving.

Q: I have used K-Y Jelly to moisturize my nose for years. I recently saw a question about using petroleum jelly, which is not safe for your lungs.

K-Y works great. It is water soluble and a lifesaver if you suffer from dry nose. I just apply with a cotton swab and get instant relief.

A: K-Y Jelly is water-based, so it should be safer than petrolatum products. A saline gel is also a safe, effective nasal moisturizer.

Q: Since 1995, I have been taking calcium supplements to keep my bones strong. I was shocked and surprised when an ultrasound done on my clavicles for deltoid pain revealed calcium deposits!

Are my calcium supplements responsible?

A: This question should have a simple, straightforward answer.

Unfortunately, it does not.

For about a decade, epidemiologists have been warning that calcium supplements may contribute to the risk of heart attacks and strokes (Heart, June 2012; BMJ, April 19, 2011).

However, more recent studies do not confirm this link (Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics, February 2020).

One long-term study found that people who get ample calcium from their diet may be protected from cardiovascular disease (Journal of the American Heart Association, Oct. 11, 2016). People who took supplements, on the other hand, were more likely to develop coronary artery calcification.

A recent review concluded, “calcium is a double-edged sword, which may be both potentially crucial and perilous” (Clinical Interventions in Aging, Nov. 28, 2018). Getting the balance just right may be trickier than most people realize.

Q: I stopped taking my statin about six months ago because it was causing a lot of muscle pain. I started by cutting my pill in half, but that didn’t work. I had begun taking CoQ10 before I quit the statin and have continued it since then.

I am feeling better, but my progress has been slow. Some days, I still suffer from bouts of pain that feel like the worst case of the flu you can imagine. However, at least I have good and bad days. That is much better than the constant pain I suffered for many years.

I take a multivitamin along with the CoQ10 every day. It is my hope that the pain will diminish further with time. I started taking a supple-

LSCHC awarded for high-quality care On Aug 25, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) announced $117 million in funding to 1,318 health centers in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. Territories. The purpose of the awards is to recognize health center achievements in providing high quality, comprehensive care.

Locally, Lake Superior Community Health Center (LSCHC) received $54,244 in recognition of the care they READER provide to STAFF nearly 10,000 residents in the Twin Ports.

Health centers will use these funds to expand current quality improvement systems and infrastructure, and improve primary care service delivery in the communities they serve.

“Our staff and providers work hard, each and every day, to provide the highest level of care available,” said Dayle Patterson, LSCHC Chief Executive Officer, “We’re proud to be recognized by HRSA for the work we do to improve the health and well-being of our region. When people think of Lake Superior Community Health Center they often think of us as part of the safety net – providing care for persons who might not receive care elsewhere. That’s true. But we also provide high quality, comprehensive and innovative care. It’s important for people to recognize those aspects of what we do!”

County receiving $281,000 to assist with bridge projects

St. Louis County Public Works has been awarded $281,113 to cover design engineering costs for a series of future bridge and culvert projects. The funds comes from the state’s Motor Vehicle Leased Sales Tax, and will help the County move forward in cooperation with the Minnesota Department of

Transportation (MnDOT) on a series of 21 projects totaling more than $17 million.

Public Works and MnDOT have been working together on this bridge bundling package as a way to save money and make the project processes more efficient by combining all 21 projects into one design contract and two construction packages. It includes

17 county bridges and four state bridges.

Among the county’s 17 bridges, the average age is 73 years, and seven of them currently have limited weight restrictions.

With the total cost estimated at $17.6 million, the county and MnDOT had sought a $14.1 million grant from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to cover 80% of the cost. The remaining 20% – $3.5 million – would be paid with local and Trunk Highway funds. However, while the FHWA chose the bridge bundling project for funding through its Competitive Highway Bridge Program, the approved amount was for $10.3 million, leaving a funding gap of $3.8 million.

St. Louis County has sought funding from the state bonding bill to help fill the gap, but the legislature has been unsuccessful in passing a bonding bill this year. The county also is seeking funds through other state aid programs to assist with costs.

“This has been an enormous undertaking from the beginning, but we know it will have a large, positive impact on our bridge inventory, making it possible for heavier vehicles to use them and aiding economic activity on our road and bridge network,” said Commissioner Paul McDonald, who chairs the transportation committee.

“We are thankful to MnDOT, which has been an invaluable partner throughout, helping us to receive the original $10.3 million, and now this additional funding for design costs.”

St. Louis County Public Works is responsible for maintaining 3,000 miles of roads and 600 bridges throughout the county. Consistent progress has been made, in particular over the last five years since the passage of the Transportation Sales Tax, to improve the quality and safety of the county’s vast infrastructure.

NAACP mask team has passed the 10,000 mark

The Duluth Branch of the NAACP hosts its 21st mask distribution on Thursday, Sept. 10, at the Central Hillside Community Center from 5 to 6:30 pm.

This event marks the Mask Teams’ 21st distribution, which began on a snowy day back on April 13. At the first event at the Central Hillside Community Center parking lot at 12 E. 4th St., the Mask Team distributed more than 500 masks. Mask Team

Last week the St. Louis River Alliance staff, along with Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources planted 500 pounds of wild rice (Manoomin) near Clough Island in the St. Louis River Estuary. Submitted photo. members are made up of members from the local Duluth Branch NAACP. “Each week across different neighborhoods in Duluth we have witnessed the best of our community, the kindness of others, and the willingness of people not only to protect themselves but also to sacrifice just a little for the sake of the public’s health,” said Lynn Goerdt, NAACP Mask Team Coordinator.

The goal of the effort has been to provide personal protection to mitigate the risk from COVID-19 to the community’s black, indigenous and people of color (BIPOC), who are disproportionately negatively impacted by the virus. This is accomplished by distributing free masks to everyone, prioritizing locations more likely to connect with BIPOC community members.

Masks have also been distributed at rallies, where large groups are gathering, as well as at UW-Superior, congregate housing sites, youth centers, and to faith communities such as St. Mark AME Church and Mission Creek Church.

“Distributing up to 10,000 masks since April is a significant contribution to our city’s wellness as a whole,” states Janet Kennedy, vice president of the Duluth Branch of the NAACP and 5th District city councilor.

The mask-making team is humbled by the generosity and hard work from approximately 20 mask sewers,

DuluthReader.com

fabric purchasers, organizations/ businesses that contribute and host the distribution efforts in partnership with the organization.

“Some of our favorite experiences have been helping a child or teenager find the perfect mask and to the surprise of their parent/guardian they put on the mask immediately. Finding the perfect mask for an adult that fits their personality, essential workers who are nervous about not being able to socially distance and are grateful for an extra mask, or someone getting a mask for their elderly neighbor.”

Monitoring by the 1854 Treaty Authority shows that manoomin growth progress in the estuary is slow, but steadily increasing in density. With consistent planting and management, partners are hopeful that self-sustaining manoomin will be re-established. The restoration supports the removal of the St Louis River Area of Concern (AOC) Fish and Wildlife Habitat impairment and establish opportunities for harvest of manoomin with a goal of 275 acres of rice by 2025.

Northern wild rice, manoomin (Ojibwe), or Zizania palustria (scientific name), is an important component to the St. Louis River estuary because of its value as both a cultural and ecological resource. It is tied to the migration story of the Ojibwe people, and it provides an important food source for people and wildlife and important habitat for many species.

Historical accounts suggest that manoomin was once abundant in the St. Louis River estuary. From the 1930s to the 1960s the St. Louis River estuary contained between 600 and 1,000 acres of wild rice. Over the past 50 years, its abundance and distribution has been reduced to a few remnant stands. The cause for the decline in manoomin abundance include dredging and filling in the estuary, wholesale logging,

industry development and water quality impacts from land use and point source inputs. Despite water quality improvements in the St. Louis River estuary, manoomin populations have not rebounded.

The Manoomin Restoration Partnership - St. Louis River Estuary; which includes Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, St. Louis River Alliance and additional tribal partners and nonprofits; are seeking to restore at least 275 acres of wild rice by 2025. Visit WDNR’s website for more information on the AOC or youtu.be/qjgW7SVNrxg to see a short video highlighting the recent work to restore manoomin.

Successful wild rice restoration may require more than five years of seeding due to annual fluctuation in rice growth, precipitation and water levels and impacts from predation such as browsing by Canada geese.

SLRA Volunteers have seeded manoomin in approximately 10 acres near Clough Island since 2015, and will reseed wild rice over that same area in years to come.

St. Louis River Alliance plants wild rice for fifth year

The St. Louis River Alliance (SLRA) is working with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) to carry out the continued manoomin (Ojibwa name for wild rice) restoration in the St. Louis River.

In recent years, members of SLRA have had the opportunity to participate in manoomin restoration in the St. Louis River Estuary.

During this time volunteers learned about manoomin ecology, cultural significance and restoration in the St. Louis River estuary and reseeded the wetlands near Clough Island for manoomin reestablishment. This year, in 2020, the volunteer aspect of the project was eliminated due to COVID 19.

Remembering essential workers From windows and rooftops through the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, millions around the world cheered essential workers on the front lines who daily risked contracting this highly contagious disease. Janitors, grocery store workers, drivers, warehouse workers, letter carriers, food delivery people, teachers and transit workers, along with the doctors, nurses and hospital staff caring for patients, all became heroes as the worst pandemic in a century swept the planet.

Thousands of these front-line workers died.

As we celebrate Labor Day, traditionally marked by cookouts and beach trips followed by the return to school, we should honor these fallen heroes – by wearing masks, social distancing and fighting for a science-driven course correction to this country’s catastrophic pandemic response.

President Donald Trump must invoke the Defense Production Act, making hundreds of millions of free masks and tests available, coupled with contact tracing, isolation and quarantine.

Kaiser Health News and The Guardian built a regularly updated database of front-line U.S. health care workers who died of COVID-19; as of this week, 1,079 were on that list.

Among them, 39-year-old Adiel Montgomery, a security guard at Kingsbrook Jewish Medical Center in Brooklyn, New York. In late March, he lost his sense of taste and smell, and had flulike symptoms.

Two weeks later, he suffered acute chest pain and died suddenly. He had complained about the lack of personal protective equipment, which eventually arrived, just not in time to save him.

Thinn, sisters from the Navajo Nation, worked at Tuba City Regional Health Care as an administrator and a social worker, respectively.

Before they both became ill around March 20, each, without facemasks, had interacted with patients, and had expressed concerns about the PPE shortage. Cheryl succumbed to COVID-19 on April 11, Corinna on April 29. The Navajo Nation’s per capita coronavirus infection rate is among the highest in the United States, with more than 500 deaths at last count.

Meatpacking workers toil shoulder-to-shoulder, exacerbating the risk of infection. At a JBS plant in Greeley, Colorado, an ongoing COVID-19 outbreak has infected close to 300 out of 3,000 workers, killing six of them – all immigrants.

Tin Aye, 60 years old, fled Burma and lived in a refugee camp in Thailand before making it to the U.S. The day after she became a grandmother in late March, she was put on a ventilator. She died on May 17.

Stories like these dot the nation, as the number of COVID-19 deaths nears 200,000 with no signs of slowing. The true number of essential workers who have died will never be known, as they are not tracked by any federal agency.

Trump has consistently downplayed the numbers of cases and victims, pushing false cures and conspiracy theories instead of leading a coordinated response.

Around the country, thousands of meatpacking plant workers have become infected; scores have died.

UFCW, the United Food and Com-

mercial Workers union, criticizes the failure to compel corporations that employ its members to report COVID-19 deaths: meat processors JBS, Tyson Foods, Cargill, and Smithfield Foods, and retailers like Walmart, grocery chains like Albertsons and Kroger, and many more.

Front-line, essential workers are disproportionately people of color, with many sectors staffed predominantly by immigrants. They drive the economy, grow and deliver food, clean and care for the elderly and provide child care. Few have the luxury to decide to work from home. They don’t have sick days, or access to affordable health care.

Medical workers still report PPE shortages.

The United States, the wealthiest nation in history, has just over 4% of the world’s population but over 20% of the recorded COVID-19 deaths. Trump’s abdication of responsibility, rushing to reopen the economy while downplaying the pandemic as an election year strategy, has been stunning, deadly and potentially criminal.

Worker resistance to Trump’s lethal pandemic response is growing.

Teachers around the country have been pushing back against plans to reopen schools quickly without plans and equipment in place to protect them, their students or staff, in a number of cases threatening to strike.

In Detroit, 1,600 nursing home workers represented by the Service Employees International Union, SEIU, are threatening to strike as well, demanding a living wage, PPE and better staffing levels to properly handle the threat of the coronavirus to nursing home residents and staff.

Also commit to solidarity with our essential workers. The shouts of support for them from the windows and rooftops may have diminished as the pandemic drags on, but the risks they face every day have not.

UW-Madison reports more than 1,000 COVID-19 cases University of Wisconsin-Madison officials are attempting to get a handle on the spread of the coronavirus amidst a recent spike of cases on campus.

On Tuesday, UW-Madison reported a total of 1,004 students and employees have tested positive for COVID-19.

That new figure comes a day after Chancellor Becky Blank told all undergraduate students to “severely limit” their interactions and restrict their movement in hopes of containing the spread of the virus among the state’s largest student body.

Most of the positive cases have been identified through on-campus testing, which ramped up over the past two weeks when students moved into residence halls, but also includes positives reported from public health officials as early as July 28.

The daily positive rate on Tuesday, which shows a percentage of positive tests compared to the overall number of tests given, showed 22.5 percent of tests conducted over the Labor Day weekend had come back as positive.

UW-Madison noted, however, the data reflected a large proportion of positive tests among a small number of tests. For context, Tuesday’s data included results for 93 tests. There were 1,899 tests reported on Sunday.

The seven-day average of the positivity rate was 5.7 percent according to the university’s COVID-19 dashboard.

In her message Monday, Blank thanked students who have followed public guidelines and the “Badger Pledge,” which directs students to wear face masks, limit gatherings and maintain social distance of 6 feet with other individuals.

“But the testing statistics from the last few days have not been good and threaten our ability to continue a semester where campus is open to students,” Blank wrote.

The chancellor pointed out that a growing number of positive cases at the

WISCONSIN

university have been detected among those living in off-campus housing.

“Unfortunately, too many students have chosen to host or participate in social gatherings that seem to demonstrate a high disregard for the seriousness of this virus and the risk to our entire community,” Blank said.

Nasia Safdar, UW Health’s medical director for infection prevention, told WPR an increase of positive cases of COVID-19 was expected.

“I think sometimes what we forget is that the spread of the virus is exponential,” Safdar said. “So you can quickly go from, as you double, you go from 10 to 100 in a matter of days and then from then on.”

What’s concerning, said Safdar, is that the current rise in cases could overwhelm UW-Madison’s ability to provide isolation and quarantine rooms if it goes on unchecked.

“And so I think this latest message from the chancellor should be taken as a very serious wake up call,” said Safdar. “If these, you know, this curtailment of physical mobility doesn’t work, then there are very few other options remaining.”

The university hasn’t provided information on whether any students or staff have been hospitalized as a result of infection. Safdar said collegeage adults rarely are unless they have underlying health conditions.

The concern, she said, is that if the

community spread isn’t contained, eventually COVID-19 will move into older populations who will need to seek care.

UW-Madison’s spike in cases since students began moving in to residence halls has also impacted the overall number of COVID-19 cases in Dane County. On Tuesday, Public Health

Madison & Dane County announced an increase of 901 new cases over the past week “with at least 71 percent being UW students or staff.”

Matthew Mitnick is chair of the Associated Students of Madison, the campus’s student government body.

ASM released a statement, Monday, saying the call for restrictions in gatherings and movement for two weeks isn’t enough.

“When we saw this letter yesterday, we thought it was a step in the right direction in terms of limiting the inperson activities on campus,” Mitnick told WPR. “But we thought that it did not go far enough in addressing the concerns many people have over inperson instruction, having the dorms at roughly 90 percent capacity. And in a way, we think it unfairly blamed students for a lot of the complications that have been arising.”

Mitnick said ASM supports a “Moral Restart” instead, which essentially calls for nearly all classes to be online and continuing to pay student workers on campus who would have to find other jobs if campus does shut down. Mitnick said ASM has requested to meet with administration but hasn’t heard back.

City council invests in police mental health Reinforcement Consulting is pleased to announce the Duluth City Council has made a significant and mindful investment in the mental health and wellness of the Duluth Police Department (DPD) by implementing PeerConnect, a proactive peer support management app developed by First Response Mental Health.

The initiative, overseen by Dr. Heather Rose-Carlson and with the city of Duluth’s full support, will provide the DPD access to peer support resources and training programs essential to the wellbeing of department members.

“The DPD has prioritized the mental health of our officers for the past several years, and we’re looking forward to a better way to manage our peer support teams,” said DPD Chief of Police Mike Tusken. “The PeerConnect app gives our officers around-the-clock access to confidential professional resources and support. This is essential in our line of work.”

Chief Tusken and the DPD have worked with Dr. Heather Rose-Carlson of Reinforcement Consulting to implement her evidenced-based “Lake Superior Model” for peer support – the first of its kind in the nation. The Lake Superior Model includes nine training courses designed to help first responders process the stress and trauma they experience in their daily work. By enabling a strong peer support team, DPD officers have learned to rely on one another, becoming stronger together to protect and serve the community.

“The city of Duluth is extremely proud of Chief Tusken and the DPD’s focus on officer mental health,” said Emily Larson, Duluth Mayor.

“This work is leading the nation and

represents a deliberate, proactive movement toward more mindful and effective policing.”

Every year, more police officers die by suicide than Dr. Rose-Carlson in the line of duty, and one in four officers have considered suicide. Because of the high mental, physical and emotional demands a career in law enforcement requires, officers are more likely to suffer from depression, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), burnout and anxiety than the rest of the population.

“Police officers and other first responders are always on high alert, especially in today’s highly-charged climate,” explained Dr. Rose-Carlson.

“It’s never been more important to give officers the opportunity to help themselves and their peers process stress in a healthy way. Lives depend on their ability to stay level-headed on the job. The Lake Superior Model, supplemented by the PeerConnect app, gives officers the tools they need for long, successful careers and personal lives.”

PeerConnect is a proactive peer support and wellness app that provides instant and direct access to Peer Support teams – so officers and their families can access expert help whenever they need it. PeerConnect simplifies and strengthens Peer Support programs instantly. It addresses concerns about privacy, trust, and security of data for frontline officers while still providing administrators

with the confidential but measurable information they need to make informed programming decisions.

“Mental health wellness has a direct impact on an officer’s ability to protect and serve our community. Officers make split-second decisions in the line of duty, and we want to help ensure the DPD continues to make the right calls,” said Renee Van Net, Duluth City Council Vice President and councilor representing the fourth district.

“Public safety is a top priority for the Duluth City Council and the DPD. Implementing the PeerConnect app will help the department seek support and resources that make a difference.”

The DPD and First Response Mental Health have entered into a threeyear service agreement, at the end of which will automatically renew for additional twelve (12) month periods until terminated. The PeerConnect app assures confidentiality, ensuring that whether or not an officer seeks help is separate from evaluations that determine fitness for duty.

“It takes constant work to stay mentally fit for duty, and the Duluth

City Council supports the DPD’s ongoing commitment to mental health wellness,” said at-large city council member, Arik Forsman. “We want every officer to be at their best so they can protect our community. The PeerConnect app will ensure officers have access to resources whenever they need them because their work doesn’t end when a shift comes to a close.”

Reinforcement Consulting is a highly specialized consulting agency focusing on supporting first-responders and those who serve our communities.

Consultants deliver psychologistdeveloped education and training that promotes personal and professional resilience in those with high-stress careers.

Using the proprietary and POSTcertified “Lake Superior Model,” Reinforcement Consulting has transformed police departments in the Midwest and has also developed online training available for first responders anywhere in the world. For more information, visit reinforcementconsulting.com.

Grandma’s Marathon registration opens Oct. 1 Updated logo unveiled for the 45th annual Marathon weekend Grandma’s Marathon was one of the first event organizations in the country to formulate an approved COVID-19 Preparedness Plan to allow participants to run races in person, as safely as possible during the pandemic.

The organization is now planning to couple that experience with guidance from local and state health officials to design a 45th anniversary of Grandma’s Marathon that is as safe as possible.

“To make our runners as comfortable as we can under these circumstances, we started very, very cautiously with the Park Point 5-Miler in early July. It was extremely socially-distanced, but it felt secure and we received great feedback from the runners in that regard,” said Shane Bauer, executive director at Grandma’s Marathon.

With incrementally more runners participating in the Minnesota Mile and Fitger’s 5K coming up on Septem-

At left, the original marathon logo, and at right, the new logo. ber 11 and 12, followed by the North End Nightmare event in Superior on October 24, organizers are already looking toward June.

The plan is to open registration for the 45th Grandma’s Marathon, 31st Garry Bjorklund Half Marathon, and 27th William A. Irvin 5K at half capacity on October 1. Registration will open at 7:00 p.m. central time. Half capacity will limit the races to four thousand runners in both the marathon and half marathon, and fifteen hundred runners in the 5K. If the uncertainty around COVID-19 were to subside early enough in 2021, whether via a vaccine or other immu-

nity actions and measures, registration could possibly be reopened to offer more participants the chance to run.

If COVID-19 conditions don’t improve from where they are now, there’s a good chance that marathon weekend races will have to be run virtually for the second year in a row.

New for 2021, in the event of inperson race cancelation, Grandma’s Marathon will give the registration value back to registrants with a 40 percent discount that can be used up to three times over the next five years.

“Taking care of our participants has always been and will always be our top priority,” says Bauer. “COVID-19 admittedly caught us all off guard.

We’ve been making adaptations since March to help avoid such an unexpected circumstance in the future, with a focus on the impact it had on our registrants.”

Last year’s registrants were informed that they would be receiving a higher discount than initially promised as well.

The organization will be watching this virus as close as anyone with a direct line to their Medical Director and local infectious disease experts at Essentia Health, a major sponsor of Grandma’s Marathon.

Updated information will be shared on the Grandma’s Marathon web site as circumstances change, and an indepth FAQ page will emerge.

In addition, Grandma’s Marathon has updated its long-standing, traditional logo going into its 45th year.

Deemed a ‘long overdue’ update by the organization, runners will notice a women’s division runner among the men in the traditional Grandma’s Marathon logo.

The traditional logo is based on that of the original, founding sponsor, Grandma’s Restaurant Corporation.

Nurture Community

Independent businesses are owned by people who live in this community and are committed to investing in Duluth’s future.

Studies have found that locally owned businesses contribute more than twice as much of their revenue to charitable causes as corporate chains do. And advocates of local causes find that local business owners are generally much more accessible than executives of large corporations based in other states

Beaver costume

(I’m thrilled to announce that this article won 2nd place in the Newspaper/ Family Participation-Youth Outdoor Education category of the Outdoor Writers Association of America’s 2020 Excellence in Craft Contest! It’s a little bittersweet to post it just as school begins, since our MuseumMobile lessons are moving to a virtual format during the pandemic.)

“Are you going to dress someone up like an animal again?” asked an eager fifth grader at Drummond Elementary this week. I’d called on the student with his hand up because I was hoping that he’d answer the question I had just asked: “What do you remember learning on my first two visits to your classroom this year?”

Jane Weber, our MuseumMobile Educator, recently developed three new lessons for our fifth grade classroom visits. In the fall, students learned about white-tailed deer, and practiced deciphering a deer’s age by the teeth in cleaned jawbones. For our winter visit, we dressed two students up like fish, and compared the adaptations of prey fish (sharp spines, laterally compressed bodies, and eyes on the sides of their heads) with predator fish (sharp teeth, CONNECTIONS torpedo shaped bodies, and eyes on the front of their head).

Now, for our spring lesson, we were about to learn about beavers. Like all animals, beavers have an impressive suite of adaptations that help them survive in their habitat. As teachers, Jane and I have adapted to a 5th grader’s sense of humor, and designed the lesson around dressing a kid up like a beaver.

I started with the feet. Beavers’ hind feet are webbed, of course, to help propel them through the water. Oddly, they also have a split nail on their second toe, which acts like a comb for spreading oil throughout their fur and removing debris. That oil is very important to beavers as they swim underneath the ice all winter long.

Without it, they would be wet and chilled to the bone. So, after fastening two giant foam webbed feet around my victim…er volunteer’s ankles, I also handed her a photo of an oil can.

Two brown gloves went on next.

Beavers have surprisingly dexterous hands that they use to bring mud to their dam and lodge, to hold twigs while eating, and to dig out deeper channels for swimming.

The class roared with laughter when I pulled a fancy faux fur jacket out of my tub. These students have been growing up in our MuseumMobile program since they were in pre-K, and some of them remembered feeling the soft pelt of a beaver in their early years.

One girl gazed off into the distance as she described the soft, warm underfur of her memory. Another piped right in to tell me about beavers’ longer, shinier guard hairs that help shed water.

Jane had sneakily sewn a strip of Velcro under the back hem of the jacket. To this, I affixed a giant, flat, brown beaver tail, which also got a laugh. I also pulled a real (dried) beaver tail out of my tub to show around the class. They’d also seen this in kindergarten, but beaver tails never get old. Of course one kid peered at the cut end and exclaimed in disgust. Beavers use their tails for fat storage, and the now desiccated fat isn’t exactly pretty.

But it was useful when the beaver was alive. That fat fuels their metabolism during the long winter to help them stay warm.

The students easily came up with three more uses for a beaver’s tail: swimming rudder, warning signal, and a kick-stand to help them balance when cutting down trees. Their tails also help beavers dive quickly under the surface, and help them stay cool in the summer. One thing that a beaver tail isn’t useful for: patting mud onto their dam and lodge. Only cartoon beavers do that.

Before handing our beaver her Mardi Gras-style mask on a stick, I brought out a real beaver skull. This isn’t the first time these students have seen that exact skull. It’s neat to provide continuity through the years.

In kindergarten they have their first introduction to beavers, admire the skull, and feel the stick that’s been debarked by a beaver’s teeth. In second grade we bring out the beaver skull to illustrate how the teeth of an herbivore differ from that of a carnivore. In fourth grade, when we dissect owl pellets and find lots of little mouse skulls, I show the beaver skull as a bigger example of a rodent’s orange front teeth.

Today we look more closely at the

Photo by Emily Stone. skull, and talk about the iron that stains the teeth orange, giving them added strength. We also note that the eyes, ears, and nose of a beaver are all sitting right at the top of its head.

Even while swimming with their body completely submerged, beavers can have all of their senses attuned to danger.

Before I hand our volunteer her mask, I ask the kids how many of them use goggles for swimming. Beavers have built in googles, I tell them, and of course we’re all jealous. I’ve never met a pair of goggles I like. But beavers have a third, clear eyelid, called a nictitating membrane. It protects their eyes from debris while they swim.

I show the class a clear plastic lens covering the eyes of our beaver mask, then hand it over to our busy beaver.

The last prop is a pair of ear muffs.

Water in your eyes isn’t the only issue.

Beavers have valves in both their ears and nostrils to keep the water out while diving. Now we’re all seriously jealous, as we commiserate over how terrible it feels to get water up your nose or stuck in your ears while swimming. Beavers may look a little odd, but they have some sweet tricks up their fur.

Our completed beaver now spins slowly to show off her adaptations,

and we applaud her cooperation before dismantling the costume.

Then I pass out bingo cards filled with pictures of animals. The dams that beavers build, and the ponds that fill in behind them, are incredibly valuable habitat for countless species.

I start calling off animals that rely on beavers: songbirds, wood ducks, kingfishers, mink, dragonflies, great blue herons, deer, pileated woodpeckers, and water lilies. At this point, the entire class is on their edge of their seats, just needing one more square to win. Of course, I’m chuckling to myself, because I designed three different bingo cards that would all win at the same time. “Leopard frog!” I call, and the class erupts.

As I clean up my supplies and wrap up the class, I’m still chuckling to myself. “Bingo!” I think to myself. Jane did a great job designing a lesson to teach fifth graders about the amazing adaptations of beavers.

Mercedes combines a hot car and a sporty SUV

Bright Blue Metallic Mercedes AMG GLC43 Coupe parks on Hawk Ridge, above Duluth›s East End. Photos by John Gilbert.

Mercedes Benz has maintained a consistent trajectory onward and upward with both its sedans and SUVs, and as a virtual poster-child for the blending of cars and SUVs, the Mercedes more compact SUVs will do just about anything anyone could ask a sedan to do.

A perfect example is the 2020 Mercedes GLC, which is the standard designation for the company’s compact sports-utility vehicle, and as a downsized compact, it won Motor Trend’s SUV of the year award when it was born for 2019. Ah, but now it fits the mold of taking on the appearance

of a compact SUV that not only wants to fill a sedan’s shoes, but gets both the 4-door “Coupe” treatment but the high-performance AMG specialization.

The result is the AMG GLC43 Coupe, which is the ultimate subterfuge to confuse the vehiclebuying public. AMG used to take the sportiest Mercedes sedans and give them a thorough makeover for engine, drivetrain, suspension, interior, seats, and even the steering wheel, and then it also took on a raft of addedon grooves, contours and special identifying traits. AMG became so

prominent that Mercedes took on its affiliate to make it part of the company.

Walking up to the GLC43, I was taken by the brilliant blue metallic paint — identified as “Brilliant Blue Metallic,” incidentally — which is not as dark as deep navy and not as bright as royal. As a compromise, it is a unique color, even to a blue-freak like me, and I believe I like it better than either navy or royal for a car’s exterior.

If you approach from the rear, you’re thinking that you suspected it was an SUV, but you must be mistaken, because that sloped rear roofline has a sporty-car flair, and those four silver exhaust tubes, and the rear deckled spoiler are further sporty touches.

From the front, the thin grille is more

High-tech controls, from steering wheel to switchgear, and to quilted white leather seats makes GLC43 special.

September 10, 2020

sportiness, so by the time you get ready to climb aboard, you’ve forgotten all the SUV-like traits, and once you get a look at the quilted white leather bucket seats and the high-tech, flatbottomed steering wheel, you’re ready to go. Swiftly.

Under the hood there is a 3.0-liter V6 Biturbo engine, which means twin turbochargers feeding the two banks of the V6. It develops 385 horsepower and 384 foot-pounds of torque, which is not only a perfectly balanced distribution but is another example of what AMG can do with a perfectly good 3.0 V6.

You start up the engine, and it sounds calm enough, then you engage the gear lever — which I find odd, no matter how well it works. It is a thin little stalk sticking off to the right of the steering column, right about where most other companies would mount a windshield wiper stalk, while putting the shifter on the console, either as a lever or a rotating knob, or whatever.

This little stalk can do three things: up for reverse, down for drive, or in the middle for neutral.

My trouble is that when cruising along, if you happen to hit a tiny bit of rain, just a brief shower that doesn’t require the wipers on full, you might flick the lever up, or down, to get just one swipe of wipers. Except in the Mercedes scheme, that means you have just shifted the gear selector as if

trying to engage reverse — a no-no, for sure — or reinforced your desire to be in drive. My point is that intuitively, you are choosing something other than the gear shifter when you move the gear shifter.

The transmission, incidentally, is a 9-speed, and when left alone it shifts with smooth precision. If you really want to get involved in the shifting, there are shift paddles comfortably behind the steering wheel, left for downshifting and right for upshifting.

In case all those features haven’t made you completely forget the GLC’s SUV-roots, there is another little button on the console that, when activated, opens up the exhaust system for a wonderfully exhilarating sound of every one of those 385 horsepower screaming for attention. Engaging a performance mode does the same thing, but the switch means you don’t have to be in track mode to get the impressive sound.

The AMC tuned suspension with airshock support that is instantaneously activated and quick steering that is a trademark completes the performance enhancements that AMG has implemented. If you settle for not overdoing it on the gas pedal, you could reach the EPA estimate of 24 miles per gallon in highway driving, with 18 city, but you could find restraint once you get the hang of striking a majestic pose as you drive

The heart of a sports sedan and the soul of an SUV gives the AMG-altered GLC43 a blend of both. around to your appointed tasks, opening up the exhaust for short bursts of performance satisfaction.

The reminder that this quick, swift, great-handling vehicle can do still

more than the hot-sedan image, is indicated by the 4Matic designation, which is Mercedes for all-wheel-drive.

Only this AWD system is another AMG masterpiece, so it’s all working to keep the vehicle stable and traction firm and certain in all conditions, even with lowprofile high-performance tires mounted on those stylish 21-inch alloy wheels.

Oh yeah — this is an SUV, after all. Just a swift, comfortable, potent accelerating, high-performance AMGenhanced SUV. Actually, it is the best of both, rather than a compromise that fulfills neither.

Does that make it worth its $63,000 sticker price? Well, that’s the standard price fo ran AMG GLC43 Coupe.

Once you add on some captivating options, such as active steering, active distance assist, brake assist, blind-spot assist, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot and cross-traffic assist, parking assist, multimedia addition, LED lighting all around, and the Burmeister surround sound system. you have increased the sticker price to $75,955.

That’s a lot, and if you chose with restraint you could probably buy a small SUV and a small sporty sedan for that money. But you would not get both of them in one package.

Besides, you can get it in Brilliant Blue Metallic.

From its nose, the Mercedes AMG GLC43 personifies performance.

Stanley Cup finals are running!

CRAMER – To say that the NHL Stanley Cup Conference semifinals were exciting would do them no justice whatsoever.

I mean, out of the four series involved, there were 3 seven-heavens over the weekend! The only one of the series that was kind of a runaway was the Tampa Bay vs. Boston series, won by the Lightning 4 games to 1.

Even considering that outcome it was a better series than you would have thought. The Bruins won the first game, and then the Bolts rattled off 4 straight wins for the series clincher. But 3 of the 5 tilts were one-goal games, 2 of which went to OT. In G5, it took a double OT to secure the series win for Tampa.

After a very strong regular season performance coming off of a 2019 SC Final appearance and subsequent loss, the Bruins looked to be a bit enigmatic in Round Robin play. But they snapped out of that really quickly in dispatching Carolina in the opening round in a 4-1 series victory.

They just couldn’t get over the hump against a tough Tampa club though and now many analysts are wondering where does this group go from here?

Or is this some knee jerk panic here?

Boston’s indisputable number one netminder, Tuukka Rask, left the team before G3 of the CARO series to attend to a child’s medical emergency back home. Jaroslav Halak came in and acquitted himself well, but the B’s could not prevail over Tampa.

Is it a different outcome if Rask didn’t have the matter back home to attend to?

That’s uncertaint, he was 1-3 when he exited the protective bubble in Toronto, and Halak is an experienced high-level player himself. And a few of Rask’s media comments before his departure would have led you to wonder how his mental focus was.

So, it’s hard to figure if some major changes aren’t in order for Boston in the offseason, but no prize for the B’s this year.

The NY Isles and Philly Flyers series was a scorcher, finally won by the Isles with a commanding 4-0 shutout win in G7 of that series. But props go to the Flyers for being down 3-1 in the series

DuluthReader.com

MASKED FAN MARC ELLIOT

Will the Isles be able to hold off the hard-charging Bolts long enough for their counter-punching offense to get enough chances to make that style work for them? before extending it to a G7.

They were one of the hottest clubs going at the time of the March suspension of play. Likewise, the Vegas Golden Knights built a 3-1 lead over a young Vancouver club only to also get taken to a G7.

In a G7 thriller that was actually a scoreless affair with just over 6 minutes left, the VGK finally notched a goal and would prevail 3-0 on the strength of a Robin Lehner shutout.

And in the Dallas-Colorado series, it’s a broken record now, but yes, the Stars also had built a 3-1 games lead in this series before the Av’s came back to extend the series to a 7th game. The G7 featured an OT frame with the winning goal scored by Joel Kiviranta, who was playing in his first game of the series and actually posted a 3-goal hat trick.

Kiviranta, who hails from Vantaa, Finland, was the subject of a YouTube clip whereby a game broadcaster back home, Antero Mertaranta, basically flipped his lid when Kiviranta got the GWG. It’s in the Finnish language, and if you haven’t seen or heard it, get with the program. It’s easy to find. You’ll be smiling. Mertaranta was a wee bit revved up by the goal.

For the Conference Finals, we have Vegas vs. Dallas and the Isles up against the Bolts. This is some tough picking here. Just this evening the Knights and Stars faced off in G1 action with DAL prevailing in a 1-0 battle. I saw a website story teaser postgame that stated “Fleury starts, loses G1 for Vegas.”

Yes, I know how the media works at times.

I get how headlines and even “clickbait” work, but that headline is so misleading I’d like to find the website manager and deliver a hard check into the boards on em’.

The actual headline read “Fleury starts for Golden Knights in Game 1 loss to Stars in Western Final.” See how

that works?

I bring it up because if not for The Flowers overall game this eve, Vegas is losing this game 4 or 5 to zip.

Fleury had an outstanding game. The shortened headline version is a disgrace and discredits how Marc Andre’ actually played.

The Lehner/Fleury tandem is going to make Vegas hard to beat. But on this night the Knights had no skating legs courtesy of playing 5 games in 7 days.

The Stars have had a hard schedule as well, but not like Vegas. It makes me wonder if the Stars have a slight edge here.

It might not be in goal though.

Backup Anton Khudobin, originally of the Wild, is playing all tilts right now.

The number one Ben Bishop has been nursing an injury and when Coach Rick Bowness tried Big Ben last week, he got shelled for 4 goals on 19 shots in less than 14 minutes TOI and was yanked.

Obviously, the skaters giving up that many shots in that amount of time indicate Big Ben wasn’t the only problem, but make no mistake he didn’t look good. Khudoby has looked good though and we’ll see how things proceed for the Stars in this series. I have to think the VGK will get their legs back and I’ve got them in a 7 game series victory.

I’m looking forward to G1 of the Isles-Bolts series and this promises to be a good one. I don’t think the Isles have the overall team quality and depth of the Lightning, but as for another top goaltending tandem, Semyon Varlamov and Thomas Greis are top level.

The Bolts have Andrei Vasilevsky, with either Scott Wedgewood or Curtis McElhinney in the two spot. Vasy is one of the best in the game, period.

And with all due respect to Wedgie and Mac, tandem wise they might not match the Isles. If they can play only Vasy all the way through they’ll be good.

The Isles feature that famed 200-foot system of Coach Barry Trotz and they will make life hard for the Bolts skaters.

That and their opportunistic offense could put them over vs. the Bolts.

Lightning Captain and gifted scorer Steven Stamkos has been pronounced unfit to play in the series, as he has been throughout the playoffs, but it hasn’t appeared to slow down Tampa.

To me, I believe that Tampa is somewhat equal offensively and defensively, while I

47 September 10, 2020 DuluthReader.com

consider the Isles to be a bit stronger defensively than they are on offense.

So how will that play out here?

Will the Isles be able to hold off the hard-charging Bolts long enough for their counter-punching offense to get enough chances to make that style work for them? It will be tough, and Vasy has come up big before in the clutch.

Give me the Bolts here in a 6 gamer… PEACE

Vikings, Packers force NFL into spotlight The National Football League so dominates sports media that it seemed like a good thing to be able to put off discussing and debating all the usual possibilities of training camp rosters, trades, and predictions.

But we can put it off no longer.

The Covid pandemic has fouled up our lives all summer, and it has prevented many sports attractions along the way, while we learned to wear masks to prevent each of us from spreading germs that could lead to Covid-19, and ducking big crowds and staying pretty much at home to avoid catching the worldwide disease from others.

Baseball got underway late, and with an abbreviated season, while the NHL and NBA started a late-summer bid to finish off last season with some degree of style, albeit with no fans allowed. We have no idea what’s coming in college football, with some leagues holding off their fall seasons

SPORTS JOHN GILBERT

until spring, and others trying to play pushed-back schedules later this fall.

But after semi-secluded training camps — thankfully — the NFL kicks off, so to speak, this weekend. It might be possible to look past it, except that the Green Bay Packers play at Minneapolis against the Minnesota Vikings Sunday. That is always reason for football fans in Minnesota and Wisconsin to go properly ballistic, and this Sunday’s opener has division championship overtones for fans of both teams, especially those who find it easy to dismiss the Chicago Bears and Detroit Lions. That may not be possible this fall, by the way.

The Vikings have gone all-in on Kirk Cousins as their quarterback for the present as well as the future. A newly revised offense built around Cousins should help, but I continue to believe that he is a very effective quarterback when he has time to set up in the pocket and select from receivers who run precise routes. It is when those routes are covered, or Cousins needs to move from the pocket, that his effectiveness seems to get rattled and go off in all directions.

The Packers, of course, have Aaron Rodgers, who can pick apart defenses whether standing still or scrambling. I

48 March 26, 2020 DuluthReader.com

think the Vikings have the better team except at quarterback, and the NFL has become a league that can be won by quarterbacks.

Meanwhile, the Bears brought in Nick Foles because of the inconsistency of Mitch Trubisky, and it seemed as though Trubisky’s phenomenal title season a couple years ago was just a flash that went out. But as the Bears prepare to open the season, Trubisky has been declared as the No,. 1 quarterback, and if he can return to the scrambling, gambling force he was two years ago, the Bears could be a threat.

Same with the Detroit Lions. Ever since Barry Sanders was their star running back, the Lions have never had a star running back. A shame, too, because Matthew Stafford is an outstanding quarterback, if only he had someone to hand the ball to.

Presto! Out in Washington, D.C., where the team formerly known as Redskins, do not have a nickname, nor do they have former Vikings superstar running back Adrian Peterson! They cut Peterson, choosing to go with a half dozen unknown young prospects, giving up on a standout who still can break a game with his power and speed. As if by magic, the Detroit Lions gave Peterson a one-year contract, which means Stafford suddenly will be twice as effective as a passer because he can hand the ball to the best running back the Lions have had since Sanders.

And if, believe it or not, Peterson somehow could gain 1,000 yards this season, he would move up a place on the all-time rushing tallies, replacing — Barry Sanders!

If we propose that Rodgers is as good as ever, Trubisky returns to his peak of performance, and Stafford suddenly can gain victories as well as statistics, there Vikings, even if Cousins plays very well, could have the fourth-best quarterback in the division!

RULES DOMINATE Rules can be an issue in sports, and they were last weekend. One was in the NHL, where the New York Islanders beat the Philadelphia Flyers 4-0 in Game 7 to advance to the East finals against Tampa Bay. Those are my two favorites among the “final four” going for the Stanley Cup. The Lightning won their way to the conference finals midway through last week and sat idle, resting up and healing injuries, for six days. The Islanders won Game 7 on Saturday night, and had to come right back on Monday to start the West final series against the well-rested Tampa

Bay Lightning.

It wasn’t pretty. The Lightning jumped ahead and kept flying, and the Islanders suffered an 8-2 setback in Game 1. Clearly, it appeared that having no rest affected the Islanders, although I believe they will bounce back and make it an outstanding series to see who confronts the winner between Dallas and Vegas.

Another rule came into effect to make last Sunday’s Italian Grand Prix at Monza the most exciting, by far, this season. In case you didn’t get up early enough to watch, we all know that Lewis Hamilton and his unbeatable Mercedes is running away with the Formula 1 championship, and he won the pole ahead of teammate Valtterri Bottas at Monza.

Curiously, look at the last four finishers in that race: Max Verstappen was 17th, Charles Leclerc 18th, Kevin Magnussen 19th, and Sebastian Vettel 20th. Meanwhile, the top four were Pierre Gasly, Carlos Sainz, Lance Stroll, and Lando Norris. They finished 1-4, and the top three made it the youngest podium in Formula 1 history. Gasly, from France, is 24; Sainz is 26; Stroll is 21, and Norris, for good measure, is 20.

I attended and wrote about an Italian Grand Prix, back in 1989 at Monza.

It was an incredible experience, with the fans putting on a show of their own. Ayrton Senna, driving a McLarenHonda, outclassed the field and was solidly in front of his teammate, Alain Prost. My wife, Joan, was with me, and when they said the press box was being rebuilt, and the media “watched” the race via television in an enclosed press room, we took off to watch in real life.

We cross the infield and found a spot where we could see a couple of turns and marvel at Senna’s brilliance. With two laps to go, I told Joan we’d better hustle back to the start-finish to see Senna win. We hurried, and got within view just as the blaze-orange and white Marlboro McLaren came around the last turn and took the checkered flag.

It wasn’t until the press conferences that I realized Senna had gone out of the race with a lap to go, and the McLaren-Honda that won was driven by his teammate, Prost. Senna was the best that ever was in Formula 1, in my opinion, and I still have a warm spot in my heart for Monza and the crazy Italian fans, who flooded onto the track at the finish. It was a bit safer this past Sunday, because no fans were allowed!

The race itself was full of surprises.

As expected Hamilton took off for the

Vettel’s brake line ruptured and he shot off the track at a tight turn, and was doomed to 20th and last after only 5 laps. But the eager young challengers chased Hamilton, who was far enough ahead that he could pit and return to the track third, resuming the lead when the other two pitted.

There is a rule in Formula 1 that when there’s a caution slowdown, you can only come into the pits when the lights signal the pits are open. A late race one-car crash scattered debris all over the track, and officials decided to red-flag the race — stopping it to clear the debris and then restarting.

The pit lane was open, and Hamilton’s Mercedes crew called him in to put on better tires to go the rest of the way, and he veered sharply to go in the pit entry and make a quick pit stop.

Officials, however, noted the red lights were on out on the track and one inside the pit lane, but Hamilton didn’t see it. The pits were opened a couple of laps later, and most of the rest of the field came in for tires. Race officials discussed it hurriedly and decided that a penalty had to be assessed to Hamilton, and they decided on a 10-second penalty. If it had been only 5 seconds, he would haves retained the lead. So Hamilton had to make another pit stop, pause for 10 seconds, then head back out. The total lost time was about 30 seconds, and he was back in 15th.

Hamilton put on a stirring drive to pass cars and gain ground, but the laps were running out. Gasly was holding first place with his Honda-powered car against the closing car of Sainz, while Stroll was a strong third, and Norris

fourth. Hamilton let the fastest race lap time, and got up to seventh place, behind the four “kids” and Bottas and Daniel Ricciardo. Several dramatic passes and close-fought duels left the finishing order that way.

It was the first time a French driver won a Formula 1 race since 1996, and the close proximity left Sainz, Stroll and Norris all awakened to their potential.

Afterward, Hamilton was not bitter — he has enough points to avoid that — and he gave accolades to Pierre Gasly, who had been hired by the Red Bull team, then fired in the first race. He was lucky to catch on with the Alpha Tiara team. “I can imagine what it’s like to make a big team [Red Bull], then get fired by the big team, get a chance with a small team, and come back and beat the big team,” said Hamilton. Very classy, and appropriate.

This next Sunday, the Tuscany Grand Prix will run, also in Italy, starting at 8 a.m. Minnesota time. It will be worth watching.

Locally, we don’t have football, but we do have high school soccer for boys and girls, and girls tennis. There have been some interesting games, particularly Duluth East’s 1-0 victory over Denfeld in the resumption of their everlasting rivalry. East and Denfeld traded scoring chances throughout a scoreless first half, and junior midfielder Kai Hoffman leaped for a corner kick by teammate Jackson DesCombaz and put his header into the Denfeld goal. It stood for a 1-0 East victory.

It was the third victory for the unbeaten Greyhounds, who hadn’t been scored on through that game. We don’t have football, and soccer takes some intense watching before you get lucky and see a goal, but it’s the best we have in this most unusual sport year.

Countdown to Mars retrograde Make the most of your current energy level. Take note of what you want and how much you want it. Consider what you long for, and express what you desire.

Why now?

Later you’ll be glad for this point of reference.

In a matter of hours, Mars will do a reversal and will be traveling retrograde until midNovember, so change is afoot.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’re given more responsibilities than the others because the general consensus is that you can handle them. Bonus: You grow stronger and more powerful by fulfilling requests.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). To have

HOROSCOPES

BY HOLIDAY HOLIDAY MATHIS

someone to bounce your ideas off of is a gift. If you don’t have this, try anyone, really, because the reflection will be fundamental to your next moves.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It won’t be hard to find cheerleaders for team Gemini. Sometimes, it’s just about relatability. An Aquarius or Libra will lead the parade and bring out your best in these times.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Resentment is a strong energy and a hard one to get over. Bitterness follows suit. Feelings like this are like spice — a little gets the dish going and too much ruins it.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Mistakes happen. So what. Breathe in and out.

Who cares? Someone, for a second, and then they don’t. There’s no use in you caring for a lifetime. Move on, move on, move on.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Loose clothes and tight relationships — that’s comfort. It feels good and cozy — until

OULU GLASS

it doesn’t. Comfort is messy, and then too messy. When the line gets crossed, comfort changes into discomfort.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Life is music. Interactions have a rhythm and stick to a certain pace. You’ll groove with this music today, create it, walk in it. It can go from pop to classical to jazz, but mostly it stays in the realm of indie.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The stoic way is fine and good, though it’s not exciting enough to engage some of the others. Letting emotions out is the only way to connect. We connect in our mess.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You can look forward to a professional exchange and the particular thrill of going from formal modes of communication to more informal, which always means the same thing: You’re liked.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). How best to show your love? Do you show it by assisting others or by encouraging others to help themselves? Each situation and relationship is unique, so there is not one blanket method that is best for all.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). People understand best people who are like them. But that excludes so many when you’re an Aquarius, as you are unique, singular and having bright ideas very much in line with your sign today.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Wouldn’t

Messy Fingers Welcome!

“Best” for 10 years in a row!

1695 W. Colby Road, Brule, Wis. Open daily ouluglassgallery1.com

you love to know the conversations they have about you when you’re not there? But since you can’t, you make sure to drop in some interesting details that will be sure to be repeated!

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTION: “I’m an Aquarius (Jan. 23, 1972) and am dating a Sagittarius born Dec. 6, 1961.

We seem like a match as we’re both very independent and require the same amount of time together – which isn’t very much – about once a week.

This is a relationship that seems to work for us, but other people don’t see it as a relationship. I think we are very close though, and getting closer.

Can you explain why this might work for us?”

Aquarius sees relationships as another kind of friendship. With Mars in Aries, I’ll bet you are driven by your work, your interests, your impulses – and you’re not into asking permission to do anything.

Your Sagittarius has four luminaries in the sign of the archer, so he’s always on the go. The fact that you have once a week together is his version of a major commitment.

Even when things progress to living together, you two will still be constantly doing your own thing and enjoying one another on your own schedule. As for the ones who don’t understand, they probably never will.

Luckily, they don’t have to for you to have a fabulous time together.

Brothers Burn Mountain - The Dark Exchange The heck is a dark exchange? I assumed it was a cultural reference, so I asked the great oracle Google. It came up with open source software for trading bitcoin, an obscure sci” fi two-book series and Romans 1:21, the part about idolatry.

Yeah, I don’t think it’s any of those. I could have asked the brothers themselves, but if I had to explain my lyrics, I’d do so grumblingly.

The lyrics to the title song are brief, so I reprint them here in their entirety:

CD REVIEW RICHARD THOMAS

The picture is a dark tree, Don’t worry.

Follow the dark exchange Of shadow and night.

Follow the charges of your own Filament.

Build a web of innocuous Bafflements.

Catch the buzzing lies.

Eat them from the inside.

Make your own dark truth.

Be uncouth.

The words suggest the interplay between two forms of darkness, shadow and night. Neither are evil, and in fact are opportunities. You can

“make your own dark truth.”

To me it sounds similar to the spiritual writer Starhawk and her seminal 1982 book Dreaming the Dark. She defines the dark as “all that we are afraid of, all that we don’t want to see – fear, anger, sex, grief, death, the unknown.” But the dark is also “the power of the unseen, the power that comes from within, the power of the immanent Goddess who lies coiled in the heart of every cell of every living thing, who is the spark of every nerve and the life of every breath.” It represents change: “Alone no one can dream the dark into love. We need each for that.”

So there’s a lot to chew on in this album from the lyrics alone. They’re all intriguing but open to interpretation.

The only unambiguous song is “Fire in the Sky (Hiroshima Howl)” which is exactly about what the title says, to mark the bombing’s 75th anniversary.

In other songs the words are enigmatic but easily understood, for the most part. I did a double-take on “Don’t Deny It.” The actual words are, “You scared the cat but the cat grew up ... and now the lion stares you down.” Beautiful metaphor there. But I thought it said, “You scared the cat but the cat threw up” because that’s what cats do.

Musically, the brothers, Ryan and Jesse Dermody, have grown from a rustic blues band to something very difficult to define. They don’t fit any genre. Here their music approaches the haunting quality, sadness and minimalism of slowcore, but it’s still too lively and complex.

It does demonstrate a definite shift in that direction, being more staid than the previous album, 2018’s Blue Spruce, which had more rock and country. Still with that album I guessed the influence of Low, the quintessential slowcore band, though founder Alan Sparhawk doesn’t care for the term.

So what a coincidence, Sparhawk produced four of the songs on this album. His influence seems to have spread to the rest, which overall sounds like a Low album. (Somewhere between Things We Lost in the Fire and The Great Destroyer.) The music doesn’t really move or take you on a journey, and you certainly can’t dance or bop your head to it. it just sits in one place and emanates varying degrees of intensity. There’s a lot of echo and even accompaniment by three different female vocalists. They add a lovely

dimension, but they sound like Low’s Mimi Parker.

It gives you the feeling of huddling by a fire deep in the woods amidst a heavy fog, which is probably exactly the effect they were going for. I’m not sure I approve of this direction. I prefer the brothers when they pound the drums and wail and holler and rock out. But they’re an experimental group and they’ll go in whatever the hell direction they want. Who knows where they’ll be next album.

Maybe at last, after 20 years of playing, this will be their breakthrough album. Sparhawk did wonders for Robert Plant, who adapted two Low songs, thus staying relevant and netting a Grammy nomination.

If you want to hear the brothers in rocking mode, there are plenty of chances to check them out live, despite the virus. On July 18 they did a livestream show at Sacred Heart, which you can view on Youtube. Even though there’s no audience (and no air-conditioning in the middle of the heat wave) it’s one hell of a show, full of energy and mounting intensity. I also appreciated hearing the selections from this album without the studio production. It sounded more amiable and down to earth.

This Saturday, Sept. 12, at 6 p.m. they’ll be doing a livestream concert from the bog, the location of their studio in the woods north of Duluth (see thebrothersburnmountain.com).

On Sept. 26 they’ll perform at Cedar Lounge.

St. Scholastica cineaste releases book on The Cinematic Sublime Film scholar Nathan Carroll, PhD, of The College of St. Scholastica is the editor of the newly published book The Cinematic Sublime, an interdisciplinary exploration bringing together the disciplines of film studies and aesthetics to examine cinema and cinematic experience.

Carroll is a professor in the Department of Communication, Theatre and Art at St. Scholastica, where he teaches courses in film studies, media criticism and sublime aesthetics.

The book’s essays are written by film scholars and philosophers from around the world, including Carroll and fellow St. Scholastica faculty member Steven Ostovich, PhD, professor emeritus and former chair of the Department of Philosophy.

The topics and case studies range from early silent films through classical Hollywood to avant-garde and contemporary digital cinema.

“The word ‘sublime’ is often used as shorthand for ‘cool’ or in today’s parlance, ‘awesome,’ while in the past it signified a singular experience fostering existential introspection,” Carroll said. “Really, the concept is a cultural marker that has always shifted with time. This book applies a cinematic lens to what is ‘sublime.’ This approach offers new insights into how cinema engages with traditional historical and aesthetic discourse. It will be of use to students and established scholars interested in the relationship between film and philosophy.”

The Cinematic Sublime: Negative Pleasures, Structuring Absences is published by Intellect Books of Bristol, England.

Support available for socially distant or virtual projects

Springboard for the Arts is launching a new, statewide call for artists to help people in their communities con-

nect with one another while staying safe and healthy. The COVID crisis has resulted in increased levels of social isolation, which can have devastating effects on individual health and wellbeing.

Artists Respond: Combating Social Isolation is an open call with a rolling deadline for artists with creative ideas, with $500 in project support available.

This opportunity is supported by the Kresge Foundation and the Blandin Foundation. See more and the application at springboardforthearts.org/ artists-respond/ People have turned to and relied on culture and creativity to navigate social distancing and the multiple and compounding crises we are experiencing,” said Springboard for the Arts Executive Director Laura Zabel. “With this project, artists in Minnesota of all disciplines and career levels are invited to create moments of joy, solace, solidarity, sharing, and a sense of connection for those who are feeling most isolated.”

Artists can play an important role right now to lift spirits, combat loneliness and disconnection and create camaraderie through shared experiences. Projects with a focus on higherrisk groups. Families lacking access to broadband, and essential workers who may be self-isolating will be prioritized for funding. Artists should already have a connection with or into the group.

With the support of the Kresge Foundation and the Blandin Foundation, Springboard will be funding 60+ projects. These project funds are open to any artist in Minnesota and Springboard will prioritize artists and culture workers from communities that are disproportionately impacted by the pandemic crisis. Access to technology, the internet, and other systemic barriers may make it difficult for some artists to respond quickly to this call so we will start reviewing applications after at least 10 applications are submitted from priority groups. At least 70% of the project funds will go to artists who identify as: • Black, Indigenous, People of Color and/or Native • artists from outside the seven county metro area • artists from the disability community • LGBTQIA+ artists Info sessions for Artists Respond: Combating Social Isolation will be held via zoom on Wednesday, Sept. 16, 11 am-noon, and Wednesday, Sept. 23, 7-8 pm.

battery) bringing readers up to date on today’s lightweight modern machine.

An indispensable and comprehensively informative reference source for professionals and nonspecialist general readers with an interest in chainsaws or chainsaw technology, Chainsaws: A History Is profusely illustrated full color.

The Writer’s Journey: Mythic Structure for Writers

Harbour Publishing A chainsaw is a portable, mechanical saw which cuts with a set of teeth attached to a rotating chain that runs along a guide bar. It is used in activities such as tree felling, limbing, bucking, pruning, cutting firebreaks in wildland fire suppression and harvesting of firewood.

Chainsaws with specially designed bar and chain combinations have been developed as tools for use in chainsaw art and chainsaw mills. These specialized chainsaws are used for cutting concrete during construction developments.

With hundreds of full-color photographs and fascinating ephemera, combined with an authoritative text listing hundreds of chainsaw models from the 1800s to the present, Chainsaws: A History by David Lee (in conjunction with Mike Acres) carefully traces the evolutionary threads of countless pioneer devices – from 600-hundredpound steam-powered behemoths, to gas chainsaws mounted on wheeled carriages, to diesel chainsaws.

The meticulous and informative text examines Andreas Stihl’s Black Forest experiments, Vancouver’s booming WWII chainsaw industry and the postwar race to develop one-man saws, the rise and fall of Canada’s proud Pioneer brand, and the late entry into the field of the centuries-old arms manufacturer Husqvarna.

Recalling once-familiar brands such as Titan, Timberhog, Bluestreak, HiBaller, Hornet, Wasp, IEL, Partner, PM, Poulan, Dolmar, Danarm, Disston, Remington, Canadien, Lombard, Mall, McCulloch, Shade, Solo, Be-Bo and Jo-Bu among others, author David Lee worked together with some of the world’s leading chainsaw history experts to create this tribute to one of humanity’s most labor-saving inventions.

Saving Seeds

Dan Jason Harbour Publishing Our agricultural food comes from seeds. But where do those seeds come from? And where are they going? For much of human history, farmers saved their own seed stocks to ensure a good harvest from year to year.

In the mid-20th century, governments became involved in seed saving, creating massive seed libraries cataloguing thousands of varieties. This biodiversity has come under attack in recent decades, as corporations have replaced heirloom varieties with genetic engineering and costly

trademarks. In such an agricultural climate, saving seeds becomes both a practical act of preservation and powerful act of protest.

Many households grow fruits, herbs, vegetables or flowers for personal use, and each of these home gardens has the potential to preserve vital biodiversity, if only we would let plants go to seed, harvest and preserve them. Saving Seeds: A Home Gardener’s Guide to Preserving Plant Biodiversity by Dan Jason is a clear and winsome introduction to the essentials of seed saving, from seed selection criteria to harvest and storage tips. It also addresses the role of seedsaving communities: local swaps, seed

companies, friends and neighbors and even how the Internet can support this time-honoured practice.

In an era of community gardens, farmers markets and renewed interest in heirloom species, Saving Seeds is a timely call to ensure a more secure future for our seeds and ourselves.

Expertly written, impressively informative, thoroughly user friendly in organization and presentation, Saving Seeds: A Home Gardener’s Guide to Preserving Plant Biodiversity should be considered a must read instructional guide by dedicated family gardeners.

Dan Jason lives on Salt Spring Island, BC, where he founded the mail-order seed company Salt Spring Seeds. He has written many popular books about growing and preparing food sustainably, including The Power of Pulses (Douglas & McIntyre, 2016, with Hilary Malone and Alison Malone Eathorne) and Some Useful Wild Plants (Harbour Publishing, 2017).

‘Singles’ collects MST3K fan faves Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Singles Collection Shout Factory, $59.99

Shout! Factory seems to have completed the nearly twodecade process of putting out DVDs of all the legally cleared episodes from Mystery Science Theater 3000’s original 19891999 run.

But, the company’s work is not totally done.

In addition to releasing the cult comedy show’s new episodes on disc, they’ve been doubling back to get the original Rhino-released DVD sets of the show back in print. (I reviewed the reissued volumes one and two, and DVD Talk has oodles of reviews of the show’s disc releases to date.)

Shout!’s newest effort in the reissue campaign is The Singles Collection, a sixdisc set of titles that were not originally released on DVD in the official numbered volume sets.

Since they were selected for standalone release, it’s no surprise that these episodes are mostly fan favorites. That makes this one of the most consistent MST3K collections that you’re going to find.

For those who are completely new to the series, allow me to cut-andpaste my show description from an earlier review here: A mad scientist, Dr. Clayton Forrester (Trace Beaulieu), and his daffy sidekick, TV’s Frank (Frank Conniff), conduct experiments on a

poor unsuspecting employee (show creator Joel Hodgson as Joel in the first half of the series; the series’ longtime head writer Michael J. Nelson as Mike in the second half) by sending him out into space indefinitely, on a ship nicknamed the “Satellite of Love” while forcing him to watch terrible movies, supposedly to “monitor his mind.”

The original test subject, Joel, was a handy sort of a guy, so he managed to construct a bunch of robots to keep him company. Crow T. Robot (usually voiced by Trace Beaulieu), a gold spray-painted collection of odds and ends, and Tom Servo (usually voiced

by Kevin Murphy), a sentient gumball machine, sit in on the B-movie madness and trade heckles and asides that often incorporate pop culture references, both familiar and WAY obscure.

The giant puppyish cyclops Gypsy (usually voiced by Jim Mallon) helps keep the ship running while the unheard, typically unseen Cambot... well... he records the show.

Here’s how this set breaks down.

The first episode included here is The Crawling Hand (Episode 106), which originates from the show’s first season on The Comedy Channel (before the network was folded into Comedy Central). Things feel a little different here, partly because the cast is not the classic cast. Joel is the host – as he is on all the features included in this set – but a young Josh Weinstein (who later changed his professional name to J. Elvis Weinstein, to differentiate himself from the Simpsons writer with the same moniker) appears on camera as Dr. Forrester’s first mad assistant, Dr. Laurence Erhardt, and he performs the voice of Tom Servo.

Weinstein has good comic instincts, but the show doesn’t seem to fire on all cylinders with this crew.

The Crawling Hand features Gilligan’s Island’s Alan Hale Jr., as a detective investigating murders perpetrated by

an alien-possessed severed hand. It’s a solid episode overall, but one that feels more laconic and lower-energy than fans would come to expect from the show’s later efforts. Some of the riffing seems to be a reaction to the energy level, such as this exchange: “Is there an abridged version of this movie?”

“If so, let’s burn it.”

“Never burn your abridges.”

The episode features more silly wordplay like that, and less of the show’s signature pop culture references. Talking about the film’s titular mur-derous appendage: “You gotta hand it to him.” Also, this bit of nonsense: “He’s not even sporting a dance belt. Or dancing a sport belt.”

The next episode in the set is based upon a film that doesn’t make a lick of sense, but the episode is priceless. We’re talking about the biker-sploitation flick, The Hellcats (Episode 209). Ross Hagen is a biker looking into the murder of his brother, with the help of his brother’s fiancee.

They encounter some motorcycle gangs. There’s some fighting, some partying, some loving, and some scenes of characters nearly being ripped in half by bikes. Layer on some nonsensical biker slang, and you’ve got a misbegotten whatsit ripe for the takedown.

Mad scientist Dr. Clayton Forrester (Trace Beaulieu, right) and his original sidekick Dr. Laurence Erhardt (Josh Weinstein, aka J. Elvis Weinstein) in The Crawling Hand episode.

Most of the host segments in this episode are flashbacks to bits from earlier shows, including a sketch from The Crawling Hand episode (Tom Servo notes it was “before my voice changed”).

One presumes the show was still gaining a following at this point, so it’s a nice little survey of the kinds of silliness the Satellite of Love crew can cook up between movie clips.

The Christmas classic Santa Claus Conquers the Martians (Episode 321) is next, and this is hands-down one of the best episodes the show ever produced. The film itself is as bizarre as its title, with Kris Kringle kidnapped from his workshop by well-meaning aliens who want to bring joy to their children (including an extremely young Pia Zadora). Two Earth kids get kidnapped too, by an overzealous crew member who doesn’t like the idea of going soft in the name of toys and happiness.

Zadora’s Golden Globe for Butterfly is oft-riffed-about, as is the whole cast’s tendency to laugh like maniacs, instead of being convincingly jolly.

The host segments wrestle with sentimentality and cynicism in dealing with the holiday season, with a Road House-inspired carol, “Patrick Swayze Christmas,” being the absolute highlight.

Moonraker’s Richard Kiel, looking baby-faced even with a spirit-gummed beard, plays a caveman-out-of-time in another show perennial, Eegah!

(Episode 506).

Shoestring auteur Arch Hall Sr. casts his son as a would-be teenage rock ‘n’ roll hero, whose girlfriend has the

DuluthReader.com

misfortune to suit the fancy of Kiel’s prehistoric abductor. Papa Arch also casts himself as the young damsel’s father. Joel and the ‘Bots often shriek in horror at Arch Jr’s goofy mug or his character’s mediocre musicianship.

A low-energy instrumental is greeted with exhausted replies of “Tequila.”

A bad bit of post-dubbing led to one of the show’s signature memes: “Watch out for snakes!” I’m also quite fond of this subtle Citizen Kane joke, spoken over a shot that is almost all ceiling: “Looks like Gregg Toland photographed this.”

Troubled youth is the focus of the set’s final feature, I Accuse My Parents (Episode 507). While it’s not as cartoonish as that infamous badmovie staple, Reefer Madness, this flick subscribes to the same school of unsubtle sermonizing, by illustrating that – wait for it – lying is bad. Also, love your children and maybe they won’t throw in with gangsters and end up with a murder rap.

The lying and loving parts don’t logically converge, but why would you want them to?

The Ox-Bow Incident’s Mary Beth Hughes plays a chanteuse who lights a flame in the wayward kid’s heart, and has a nice set of pipes. During an inspired host segment, the SOL crew remake one of her nightclub numbers.

Gypsy lip-syncs to the song, while the others constantly change wigs and costumes to play everyone else in the club.

This flick is a little more than an hour, so it comes with a short (I love the shorts!) on truck farming. My favorite throw-away from this segment,

Good stuff! guilty parties featured filmmakers, are Mystery Science Theater 3000: The worthy additions.

Singles Collection is packaged in a standard-sized keepcase, with 6 DVDs packaged on a few back-to-back hubs.

As ever, MST3K is not a show that looks or sounds particularly sharp. This is partly due to its early ‘90s vintage and partly due to the rarely-first-rate video masters supplied to the show for riffing.

That said, the show’s standard 1.33:1 video and Dolby 2.0 audio are perfectly watchable and un-derstandable. No subtitles, but each episode has English closed captioning.

The original Rhino DVDs included uncut, unriffed versions of the features.

Those versions have not been included in these reissues.

He talks about meeting some of the cast of Eegah years after the show aired, and how it gave him a more wholesome appreciation for the film.

LOOK Cheap melodrama thankfully absent in Hiroshima Hiroshima Arrow Video Blu-ray $27.99 One of the very best television dramas of recent years is Chernobyl (2019), an almost unbearably disturbing yet gripping and enlightening miniseries about the 1986 nuclear power plant disaster.

Virtually suppressed for decades, Hideo Sekigawa’s Hiroshima (1953) shares many of Chernobyl’s myriad qualities. Resolutely unsentimental and in no way exploitative, the film is unnerving and powerful nearly 70 years after it was made.

Cheap melodrama and polemics are absent; mostly this very realistic film recreates what happened during and following the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima on the morning of August 6, 1945. The movie straightforwardly presents what happened and that it more than enough.

The movie uses an effective flashback structure. In present-day (i.e., 1953) Hiroshima, high school teacher Kitagawa (Eiji Okada) is playing a radio program about the atomic bombing for his class, of whom about onethird experienced the blast firsthand.

One of them, a young schoolgirl, Michiko Oba (Isako Machida), suffers a nosebleed and is hospitalized, her condition quickly diagnosed as terminal leukemia, almost certainly caused by the bomb.

So seamless one hardly notices it, the movie then flashbacks to the evening before the dropping of the bomb.

Though essentially an ensemble film, a few characters are briefly introduced: Mine Oba (Isuzu Yamada), Michiko’s mother, along with her siblings; a soldier, Endo (Yoshi Kato), with a wife and two elementary school-age children, Yukiyo (Masaya Tsukita) and Yoko (Seiko Watari); and Yonehara (Yumeji Tsukioka), teacher at a girls’ school.

When the bomb is dropped Hiroshima truly becomes Hell on Earth, and the film doesn’t hold anything back.

In an instant, everything is forever changed.

Endo’s wife is buried under the rubble of her collapsed house, she pleading with her frantic husband to leave her to look for their children, even as she’s burned alive in the bomb’s fiery aftermath; dazed teacher Yonehara leads her surviving schoolgirls to a river where, overcome with radiation poisoning, all slowly disappear into the water, dead; Mine searches for her missing children at their various daycare and schools, but most are already dead, as she’ll be soon herself.

One would have thought a Japanese movie from 1953 would have held back in various ways but it never does. The makeup graphically recreates radiation burns on the victims, which grow worse over the days until some characters become almost unrecognizable.

It may not be on the horrifying level of Chernobyl but it sure comes within 90% of that miniseries. Women, children, and the elderly are not spared and, indeed, make up the majority of the victims.

Immediately after the blast and long after, children unable to move cry out “sensei” (“teacher”) and “okaasan” (“mother”) but no one answers them.

Even those who seemingly survived with only minor injuries will soon be dead, dying agonizingly in bombedout and ill-equipped hospitals from radiation poisoning.

One also might have expected an angrier, overtly anti-American work, but in merely presenting Hiroshima as it historically and scientifically

unfolded, truthful realities are enough, with the militaristic government ludicrously extolling victims that this kind of thing happens all the time in war, and to hurry up and recover so that they might rejoin the war effort.

In one scene set far from the damage, a group of scientists inform their military superiors that all the evidence supports the dropping of an atomic device, but the officers angrily label them as defeatists. Disheartened but unable to contradict them, one scientist gazes at a cicada fluttering about the room, banging itself against a window, trying to get out.

Even as the narrative gradually moves forward in time, back finally to present-day Hiroshima in 1953, the movie continues to disturb, with American Occupation soldiers, usually with a Japanese woman under their arm, enjoying a fun day out, touring the devastation, buying grim souvenirs, including human skulls of victims.

The opening titles, mostly untranslated, reveal much. None of the professional actors get top billing: that is awarded to various community organizations in Hiroshima that appear in the film, including many real victims, including badly scarred “Hiroshima Maidens.” And though made entirely independently by a group of labor and teaching unions, the film is remarkably polished, as polished as a big studio Japanese production.

Partly the supportive Hiroshima community ensured this, while leftleaning and communist film talent lent their support also. Director Hideo Sekigawa’s direction never calls attention to itself. Of the cast Eiji Okada and Isuzu Yamada, among others, are instantly recognizable to those familiar with classic Japanese cinema, as is the music of composer Akira Ifukube. His main cue, endlessly repeated, turned up again in Ishiro Honda’s Godzilla (1954), tying this film’s real atomic bombing with the imagined radioactive wake left by Godzilla.

Undoubtedly the film’s truthfulness made many uncomfortable. Imperialist Japan is depicted as cruel and willfully stupid, while the present-day students wonder if the victims of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were essentially unwilling guinea pigs of America’s military, to test the bomb’s effects. Essential viewing, Hiroshima is, beyond its subject matter, a long-unseen genuine classic of Japanese cinema, still riveting nearly 70 years after it was made.

At 40, Urban Cowboy is showing its age Urban Cowboy: 40th Anniversary Edition Paramount Blu-ray $22.99 This 1980 John Travolta drama about a mechanical bull is not among his best. Sure, that is oversimplifying the plot a bit, as Urban Cowboy is also about domestic violence and a honky tonk, but this movie does not hold up well forty years later. James Bridges directs Travolta and a supporting cast that includes Debra Winger, Scott Glenn, Barry Corbin and Madolyn Smith, and he and Aaron Latham adapt the screenplay from Latham’s “Esquire” article of the same name.

The best thing I can say about the film is that it captures the atmosphere of a big country bar fairly well. The film has obvious parallels to Travolta’s Saturday Night Fever but is not as iconic.

Fans of country music may enjoy Urban Cowboy as background entertainment, but as a compelling drama it cannot last the full eight seconds.

Bud Davis (Travolta) moves to Houston to work with his uncle at an oil refinery. There he is introduced to the local watering hole, Gilley’s honky tonk bar, which is owned by singer Mickey Gilley. Bud falls for Sissy (Winger) when she asks him one night at Gilley’s if he is a real cowboy.

The pair marry, holding their reception at the bar, and move into a new single-wide mobile home. Bud does not appreciate Sissy’s spunk and independence and expects dinner on the table when he gets home.

At the bar, Bud becomes entranced with riding the mechanical bull, but forbids Sissy to do the same. When paroled felon Wes Hightower (Glenn) starts working at Gilley’s, tensions rise, and Bud and Sissy’s relationship is strained by infidelity and resentment.

The narrative follows the path of many similar 1980s films: The new kid in town has to prove himself to the locals and get the girl.

Well, sort of. Bud gets the girl pretty quickly, then socks her in the mouth, cheats on her and finds redemption atop the mechanical bull.

I know Urban Cowboy has its fans,

but I am not one of them. The story is cheesy and off-putting, as is the constant bickering and physical violence between Bud and Sissy.

I do not find Bud a particularly likeable or compelling character, and Sissy puts up with far more of his moody antics than she should.

The ultimate bull-riding showdown between Bud and Hightower is laughable but almost amazing in a way that only an early 1980s drama can be.

These sequences at least somewhat entertain.

As I mentioned, Urban Cowboy does a pretty good job capturing the spirit of an early 1980s country bar. Travolta did disco with Saturday Night Fever and rock and roll with Grease, and Urban Cowboy did manage to spotlight country and Southern rock music.

The film features cameos from Bonnie Raitt, Johnny Lee and Charlie Daniels, who performs “The Devil Went Down to Georgia.”

Weak narrative aside, Winger’s performance is strong, and the supporting cast is enjoyable. Urban Cowboy just feels out of touch, with dated ideas about gender roles and personal fulfillment, and is not in danger of being atop Travolta’s filmography.

The film makes its Blu-ray debut with a 2.39:1/1080p/AVC-encoded transfer.

The image is acceptable but not particularly noteworthy. Fine-object detail is generally good, and close-ups reveal intimate facial details and solid object texture. Much of the film is shot in the smoky, dimly lit Gilley’s, and black crush can be an issue here, as background details kind of fade away into oblivion. The film’s grain is generally stable, and I did not notice any major issues with noise reduction or edge halos. Colors are nicely saturated, skin tones appear accurate,

and the print is clean.

The 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack does a nice job replicating the chaotic interior of Gilley’s, with frequent ambient effects like crowd noise, breaking bottles and whooping patrons to immerse the viewer in the beer-soaked revelry.

The country music soundtrack is nicely replicated, and these songs are given ample spacing in the mix and provided good LFE support.

Dialogue is generally solid, but I did notice a couple of spots with murkier dialogue when background noise and music was pumping. German and French 2.0 Dolby Digital Mono mixes are included, as are English SDH, French and German subtitles.

This single-disc release is packed in

a Blu-ray eco-case that is wrapped in a slipcover. A digital copy is included. A sticker on the slipcover labels this the “40th Anniversary Edition.”

Extras include Good Times with Gilley: Looking Back at Urban Cowboy (15:10/HD), in which Gilley discusses his career, his bar and this film. You also get Deleted Scenes (8:02 total/ SD); Outtakes (4:08/SD); and Rehearsal Footage (4:05/SD).

This 1980 John Travolta vehicle may recreate the mood of a big country bar, but the narrative leaves a lot to be desired. This cheesy drama about a man’s quest to conquer a mechanical bull feels dated on its 40th Anniversary.

Skip It unless you’re among the fans that have been waiting for this Blu-ray debut.

Quote of the week “True patriotism hates injustice in its own land more than anywhere else.”
