“It might surprise you to learn that vehicles and wolves kill roughly the same number of deer in Wisconsin each year. Hunters, on the other hand, kill almost ten times as many deer as wolves do. “

42 Photo by Raymond Payne, taken from the fourth floor of the Duluth Eye Clinic waiting room at 7:26 a.m.

inbox Fearing anti-democracy Hello Trumpers, You accused some of us of being scared, or afraid. We were. But we weren’t afraid of your grotesque flag displays. We weren’t afraid of signs you put on your trucks saying, “F-- your Feelings!” or your “rolling coal” diesel pickups. We weren’t afraid of the guns you carried everywhere, like pacifiers.

We weren’t afraid of your belligerence or bullying.

What we were afraid of was that you might unravel our democracy. We were afraid you’d blindly force us into religious dictatorship, like our ancestors fled Europe to avoid. Or fled Russia, East Germany, China, Chile, Nicaragua, Guatemala, or a dozen other oppressed countries.

We were afraid when your leader violated our Constitution, breaking our laws, often just to break them, while simultaneously demanding “law and order.” We were afraid when we lacked legal power to stop him, and you didn’t, yet like a bad parent did nothing to correct him. In fact, you claimed seeing nothing wrong, no matter how damaging, insulting, or egregious.

Children in cages?

I’d ask you what your leader would have to do for you to say, “You’ve gone too far.” And I was afraid when none of you could give a coherent answer.

I call him “your leader” because that’s what he said. I’m not a Republican, so he considered me his enemy.

Yet all three of my brothers, and myself, served our country even though we were all anti-war. Were we “fools” and “suckers,” defending Republicans?

Maybe.

Our next step should be forward. We aren’t each other’s enemy. We have a common enemy (we just have to see it for what it is; it’s identity surprising to most).

Us never-trumpers have spent 4 years trying to understand trumpers. Now, if they’re our equal, they need to spend 4 years trying to understand us.

A. Martin Merrifield, Minnesota Climate change – controversial?

I am encouraged that climate change was an issue in this last election. And I appreciated US Supreme Court Justice, Amy Coney Barrett’s statement that climate change is a controversial issue.

It’s controversial that there were 16

DuluthReader.com

U.S. climate disasters in U.S. in the first 9 months of this year whose losses exceeded a billion dollars. These 16 events resulted in the deaths of 188 people and had significant economic effects on the areas impacted.

Yet many leaders (but not most of the public) don’t want to believe the science that clearly shows this increase in natural disasters are a result of climate change, so our country left the Paris Climate Accord and eliminated regulations that would have reduced carbon emissions.

It’s controversial that the U.S. continues to subsidize the fossil fuel industry directly and indirectly, but our individual ability to receive tax incentives for renewable energy infrastructure, such a solar or wind, decreased this year and will be gone after next year.

I think it’s controversial that many of our national leaders don’t seem to care that we are leaving our children and grandchildren to pay the price of climate change.

I have hope, though, that our citizens will push for action to reduce carbon emissions at all levels of government. I hope for incentives that will grow our renewable energy industry and allow us to significantly reduce fossil fuel use.

I have hope we will think about our grandchildren and make sacrifices ourselves to reduce their risks of facing a looming climate crisis.

Applauding Kohls I applaud Dr. Kohls for his courage in stating what millions of doctors worldwide know and agree with. I will add two points: the WHO lab produced a positive PCR test for a chicken and a papaya. and second, the placebo used by Pfizer was not a true placebo, which should have been a saline solution. It was a meningitis vaccine, also known to produce serious health effects on patients. Data has already proven the truth about the PCR tests, the low Infection Fatality Rate of the Covid-19 virus, and the antibody tests.

Now that we have the data, Dr. Kohls’ statements are fully corroborated and Mr. Bernhardt’s vacuous arguments (Letters, Nov. 12) have been proven to be wholly without merit.

THINK

Trump’s refusal to concede just another example of his disdain for democracy When John Adams became the first incumbent president to lose an election when he lost to Thomas Jefferson in 1800, the concession speech was a private matter between the two combatants.

Technology – in particular, telegraphy – changed the concession speech to a more public forum when William Jennings Bryant, the Democratic candidate for president in 1896 –

A

telegraphed his congratulations to winner William McKinley: “We have submitted the issue to the American people and their will is law.”

That established the telegram as the means to concede, right through to Roosevelt’s 1932 landslide that crushed sitting President Herbert Hoover, who in his concession telegram vowed to “make every possible helpful

effort” to aid the transition.

The importance of a stable transition is another tradition of this country that the sitting president does not comprehend. John R. Vile, a student of the concession speech and professor of history at Middle Tennessee State University, told the National Geographic magazine that, “When it comes down to it, it’s not the Army or the Navy that keeps the United States together. It’s the notion that we are bound together by certain great principles and that our similarities are more binding than our differences are.”

That spirit is best summed up in the gracious 1860 concession speech Democrat Stephen Douglas wrote to Abraham Lincoln: “Partisan feeling must yield to patriotism. I’m with you Mr. President, and God bless you.”

Or when Bull Moose candidate Theodore Roosevelt lost the 1912 election to Woodrow Wilson: “The American people by a great plurality have decided in favor of Mr. Wilson and the Democratic Party. Like all good citizens, I accept the result with entire good humor and contentment.”

In 1952, Democratic loser Adlai Stevenson offered a prayer for winner Dwight D. Eisenhower: “That you may be the servant and guardian of peace and make the vale of trouble a door of hope, here’s my earnest prayer.”

One-term President Jimmy Carter said this when he lost the 1980 election to Ronald Reagan: “I promised you four years ago that I would never lie to you, so I can’t stand here and say that it doesn’t hurt. The people of the United States have made their choice, and of course I accept their decision, but, I have to admit, not with the same enthusiasm that I accepted the decision four years ago. I’ve a deep appreciation of the system, however, that lets people make a free choice about who will lead them for the next four years …”

President George H.W. Bush said this in 1992 when he conceded to Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton: “Well,

here’s the way I see it … the people have spoken, and we respect the majesty of the Democratic system. I just called Gov. Clinton over in Little Rock and offered my congratulations ... I want the country to know that our entire administration will work closely with his team to ensure the smooth transition of power. There is important work to be done, and America must always come first, so we will get behind this new president and wish him well.”

Some believe the most gracious concession speech ever given was that of John McCain in his decisive 2008 loss to Barack Obama: “The American people have spoken, and they have spoken clearly. A little while ago, I had the honor of calling Sen. Barack Obama to congratulate him on being elected the next president of the country that we both love. This is a historic election, and I recognize the special significance it has for African Americans and for the special pride that must be theirs tonight. Senator Obama has achieved a great thing for himself and for this country. I applaud him for it.”

In 2016 Hillary Clinton handled winning 3 million more votes but falling short in the electoral college, by saying this: “I still believe in America, and I always will. And if you do, then we must accept this result and then look to the future. Donald Trump is going to be our president. We owe him an open mind and the chance to lead. Our constitutional democracy enshrines the peaceful transfer of power. And we don’t just respect that, we cherish it.”

And then there’s Richard Nixon and his sore loser concession speech after losing the 1962 California governor’s race to Pat Brown (two years after losing the presidential race to JFK): “Just think how much you’re going to be missing. You don’t have Nixon to kick around anymore, because gentlemen, this is my last press conference.”

Chauvin kept knee on teen’s back for 17 minutes while boy said ‘I can‘t breathe’ Prosecutors of the former Minneapolis police officer charged with murdering George Floyd filed a memorandum on Monday to introduce body camera footage showing a similar incident in 2017.

They say the body cam video shows Derek Chauvin hitting a 14-year-old boy in the head with a flashlight twice before kneeling on his back for 17 minutes, despite the boy’s pleas that he couldn’t breathe.

There is no record of Chauvin being disciplined in the case.

Prosecutors previously filed motions to introduce seven other incidents involving Chauvin, one involving J. Alexander Kueng, and nine involving Tou Thao as evidence against them.

Kueng and Thao, along with Thomas Lane, are charged in connection with Floyd’s death with aiding and abetting second-degree murder and manslaughter.

Prosecutors, led by Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, aim to show Chauvin and the other three officers had a pattern of using excessive force that the Minneapolis Police Department failed to correct before Chauvin held his knee on Floyd’s neck for more than eight minutes, killing him.

The defense attorney for Chauvin, who is charged with second-degree murder and manslaughter, has not yet filed a response and was unavailable for comment but will likely try to block showing a jury previous incidents of abuse.

Thao’s attorney filed a document Monday opposing the prosecutors’ motion to admit evidence of Chauvin’s “prior bad acts,” saying it’s inadmissible and irrelevant to Thao’s case.

Prosecutors only recently obtained the body camera footage of Chauvin’s 2017 arrest of the 14-year-old boy, which they say provides “a more honest account of the incident” than Chauvin’s report.

Prosecutors asked District Judge Peter Cahill not to decide on the

Chauvin admissibility of the incident until he views the footage.

Chauvin’s report said he was dispatched to a domestic assault call, where a woman said she had been assaulted by her daughter and son, who refused to comply when told he was under arrest.

Chauvin said the boy – whom he described as about 6-foot-2 and 240 pounds – backed himself into a corner and struggled and flailed his arms around, so Chauvin “delivered a few strikes” to his shoulders, and then the other officer got one handcuff on him.

Then Chauvin said he “applied a neck restraint,” rolled the boy onto his stomach and grabbed his wrist to cuff it while using his body weight to pin the boy to the floor, while the victim yelled at the officers. Blood was coming from the boy’s ear, and the officers called for an ambulance; the boy required stitches and was transported to the Hennepin County Medical Center.

“The videos show Chauvin’s use of unreasonable force towards this child and complete disdain for his wellbeing,” prosecutors wrote.

According to the prosecution, the videos show that 33 seconds after telling the boy to come out of the room, both officers grabbed him. When he refused to get on his stomach, Chauvin hit him with his flashlight twice and grabbed his throat and applied a neck restraint, causing him to lose consciousness.

The boy cried out to his mother that they were hurting him and to stop, and Chauvin told the other officer to Taser the boy, but the officer didn’t have a Taser, so Chauvin applied the neck restraint.

After the boy fell to the ground,

the officers put him face down and handcuffed him while the boy’s mother pleaded with them not to kill her son.

During the next several minutes, the boy repeatedly told the officers he couldn’t breathe and his mother begged Chauvin to take his knee off her son.

Chauvin replied that the boy was a “big guy” and did not move his knee, according to the court document.

“Although the child’s ear was actively bleeding and he repeatedly told the officers he was in pain, the officers continued to restrain him instead of administering medical treatment,” the filing says.

Seven minutes after applying the neck restraint and taking the boy to the ground, the boy asked to be put on his back because his neck hurt. He began crying, and asked again.

Chauvin asked if he would be “flopping around at all,” and the boy

said “no.”

“Better not,” Chauvin replied, without taking his knee off the boy’s upper back, according to the court filing.

About 15 minutes after Chauvin first restrained the boy, a paramedic arrived and asked what happened. The boy said the cop hit him with a flashlight and he “blacked out for a minute.”

As they tightened the handcuffs, Chauvin took his knee off the boy’s back, about 17 minutes after first kneeling on him, according to prosecutors.

John Stiles, deputy chief of staff for Ellison, declined to comment on the 2017 incident, saying “the thing itself will stand as our comment.”

The case is scheduled to go to trial in March. The prosecutors also filed a motion Monday asking the judge to reconsider his ruling allowing the trial to be recorded and broadcast live.

Thank veterans with peace Authors note: This article is repeated from 2017 with a few modifications.

Militarism continues to plague our society and this is unlikely to change the the new administration. The message that peace is patriotic must be continuously repeated if we are to become a better nation.

Many nations, including the United States, agreed to settle disputes through peaceful means. This treaty was ratified

by Congress in 1928 and is still binding federal law.

Today the original intent to promote peace has been lost. Veterans Day, as with all our patriotic holidays, has became a glorification of military service and the militarism that infuses our society.

The message promoted in Veterans Day observances is that military service members are “heroes” who have defended our “freedom.”

Therefore our many wars must have been heroic and necessary. Whether intentional or not, this message glorifies and justifies past wars and makes the next war possible.

The message makes recruiting the next generation of “heroes” possible.

This says volumes about who we are and what we value as a society.

You honor and reward what you truly value.

In reality we only give lip service to peace and being a peaceful nation.

Our history and culture are steeped in violence and militarism. Every time we start another war it is allegedly to secure “peace.” In our society war is considered the ultimate in patriotic service. Militarism, with its values of duty and obedience, is encouraged while democratic values of equality, cooperation, and compromise are discouraged.

Peace advocates are not

SOUTH SHORE RUMINATIONS

Veterans Days was originally a day to celebrate peace. The original holiday was Armistice Day, which marked the end of the fighting in WWI on Nov. 11, 1918. That day became an international holiday to remember the war and work for peace. In 1926, the U.S. Congress passed a resolution creating Armistice Day to “commemorate peace through good will and mutual understanding between nations.” But in 1954 it was changed to Veterans Day. WWI was the ”war to end all wars.”

It was one of the most unnecessary wars in human history.

The horror of WWI did create a strong desire for peace by ordinary people. Especially in Europe, where the impact of the war was felt most, there was an unprecedented effort to prevent future wars.

Following WWI a strong peace movement advocated for disarmament and the League of Nations. The oldest peace advocacy organization, the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF), was started during the war.

The war also resulted in the KelloggBriand Pact, which outlawed war.

acknowledged and have often been denigrated as unpatriotic.

If we really cared about the “freedom” that veterans allegedly fought for, we would have a much more just, fair and democratic society. Equal opportunity, civil rights, women’s rights and social and economic justice would be actively promoted.

Instead we have continuing discrimination, increasing racial and ethnic hatred, excessive incarceration, and blighted inner city and rural communities.

Veterans are members of communities. They deserve to have clean, safe, decent communities in which to live. Clean air, clean water, quality public schools, good public services and infrastructure are needed by veterans the same as all of us. Working to create a better America would be a great way to thank veterans for their service.

The right to vote is a basic freedom.

It is hard to deny the that our election process is broken. We have a majority of states passing laws to make it harder to vote. Voter suppression is increasing in many states. Big money taints the process. Gerrymandering is widespread.

Many people are pessimistic about the whole political process. We even have legislation being proposed to criminalize dissent. So much of the Veterans Day rhetoric about “freedom” is simply hot air.

We should appreciate the sacrifice of veterans (and of ALL our pubic servants). But the cliche “thank you for your service” is too often just a meaningless platitude. It is like saying “thank you for shopping at...” when the clerk couldn’t care less. Along with “support the troops” bumper stickers, it is part of the propaganda that supports our too frequent wars.

Real thanks must be more than words. Real thanks is doing what is right and needed for veterans and their families. It is working to make our country what it should be for everyone.

We don’t think of the costs of war prior to starting a conflict. We underestimate the costs – especially the human costs – of war. And when the veterans come home we don’t want to pay the price. Veterans with PTSD, drug addiction, alcoholism, and other problems too often don’t get the care they need.

After Vietnam agent orange exposure was at first denied. So was “gulf war syndrome” from the first Gulf War. With Iraq and Afghanistan “moral injury” and a high number of suicides are being downplayed.

Obvious injuries, like missing limbs, can’t be denied. But broken minds, emotions, and guilt are not visible injuries.

Too often returning combat veterans have to fight for the help they need and the benefits they have earned.

This shameful record shows that our “thanks” are mostly empty rhetoric.

If we really cared ALL combat veterans would automatically be screened for PTSD. There would be no VA waiting lists. There would be no veteran unemployment. There would be no homeless veterans.

We can thank a veteran by working to fully fund the care they deserve.

If we really cared about our veterans, our citizens, and all the other victims of war, we would find other ways to resolve conflicts. The U.S. would be a world leader in arbitration, mediation and conflict resolution instead of being the world’s largest weapons dealer.

We would support the International Court of Justice. We would work to make the UN an effective organization.

We would honor treaties we have signed. We would lead, instead of opposing, international peace efforts like outlawing land mines and nuclear weapons.

Unfortunately, many people buy into the militaristic attitude. Most politicians, even liberals, have to repeat the mantra to prevent being branded unpatriotic. We need to change the way we think and what we honor.

President John F. Kennedy said, “War will exist until that distant day when the conscientious objector enjoys the same reputation and prestige that the warrior does today.”

To support and honor the troops we should return to observing the original Armistice Day. By remembering the human, economic, and environmental destruction of past wars we should be motivated to work for peace.

Promoting peace and preventing future wars is the best way to honor the sacrifice of those who served to protect and defend the Constitution and the rule of law which is the real basis of our freedoms.

Cleaving Minnesota: Good news and bad for northern Democrats This year myriad media outlets ran some version of the headline “Will the Iron Range flip Minnesota to the GOP in 2020?” We could have assumed the answer was “no” based on population data, polling or even basic analysis of recent elections.

That’s what I said at the time. But that didn’t stop anyone from running the same story over and over through the past six months of the campaign.

Well, did the Iron Range turn Minnesota red?

No. Obviously not.

One axiom of journalism is that the answer to any headline that reads as a question is almost always, “no.”

Will robots replace human companionship? No. Will millennials kill Precious Moments figurines? No. (Even if those sad-eyed cherubs die with the Baby Boomers).

It’s just lazy, that’s all. Without evidence to say these things are happening, we wonder aloud whether it’s possible. We tell ourselves a story.

Will I learn French and sprout washboard abs before COVID-19 is over?

No. Or, um, non.

That’s not to say the Range returned to its Democratic-Farmer-Labor roots.

Far from it. Republicans continued their gains in some Range precincts, especially in Itasca County, while the DFL clawed back votes in a few east Range towns like Eveleth and Virginia.

Not only did a slightly redder Iron Range fail to deliver Minnesota to Republicans, it failed to redden St. Louis County at all. That’s the county that holds most of the Mesabi Iron Range and Vermilion Range. Democrats received more total votes, a higher percentage of votes and a wider margin of victory in St. Louis County than they did in 2016.

Why? Duluth and its suburbs went hard blue. The Range and its rural environs may have gone red, but there are more votes in Duluth.

If this sounds familiar, it’s because northeastern Minnesota is just a small

version of the state. Metro blue and rural red.

This may sound like good news for northern Democrats, but I can assure you they have plenty to keep them up at night.

Even though the DFL improved its fortunes, Republicans finished just a few thousand votes away from an unprecedented legislative rout across three state House districts just outside Duluth.

It’s a small miracle that DFL Reps.

Julie Sandstede, Rob Ecklund and Mike Sundin survived. Each posted the closest victory margin of their career, with Sandstede facing a recount against Hibbing Republican Rob Farnsworth.

An early tabulation error in her District 6A showed Farnsworth ahead the day after the election.

Had these DFLers lost, the state House likely would have fallen to the GOP, dramatically reshaping the contentious 2021 legislative session and the political narrative in Minnesota.

You can bet House Republicans took notes on these races.

There are more dire warning signs for Democrats on the western Mesabi Range in Itasca County. Republicans did considerably better there last week even though Biden and Democrats slightly improved upon their 2016 vote totals and vote share.

That county’s Senate District 5 and House districts 5A and 5B were all considered “seats to watch” a year ago, but were only “watchable” if you enjoy seeing DFLers eviscerated like freshkilled deer.

Sen. Justin Eichorn, R-Grand Rapids, defeated a capable opponent, Bemidji Mayor Rita Albrecht, by more than 20 points. Former Rep. Matt Bliss easily snatched back his seat from Rep. John Persell in 5A. And a young GOP political operative Spencer Igo trounced Laprairie City Councilor Joe Abeyta in 5B. Buried in the Itasca numbers is the fact that both Democrats and

Republicans turned out more raw votes than four years ago. Both parties successfully engaged more voters than ever in some parts of northern Minnesota.

So, which party will sustain the most energy going forward?

That question bores into the DFL’s quandary in northern Minnesota and other rural parts of the state.

It’s a persistent, culturally-fueled branding problem. Even the best local Democratic candidates — with their soft bromides about health care and economic equality — become lumped in with perceptions of “dangerous metro-centric” Democrats that gurgle unabated from a right-wing smelter of online political propaganda.

The region’s top newspapers all either merged or cut print frequency last summer. More weekly papers are slated to close in the new year.

Local public stations and cable access networks programmed legislative debates, but several Republican candidates ducked some of them.

Those who did won. So they won’t be changing their strategy next time.

That leaves social media and local TV networks, along with their toxic comments sections, as the lone arbiters of political discourse in places like northern Minnesota. No good can come of this.

So, sure. Minnesota extends its 48year streak of support for Democratic presidential candidates. But that hardly feels imaginable in northern Minnesota, where Democratic party infrastructure is little more than a skeleton of soggy two-by-fours.

How can Democrats change the story? Well, they have to build a message and an infrastructure to deliver it beyond TV and radio advertising.

Indeed, the DFL woes in northern Minnesota might be compared with the plight of an old barn.

Though hard to identify, there exists a very specific point when a barn becomes an old barn.

You don’t have to come from someplace rural to know the difference.

A barn is useful. You store things inside.

An old barn is a showpiece, a novelty, or even a potential safety hazard. The next wet spring snow or wind storm could knock it down. Or maybe that already happened. And yet, parts of it are still there. Desiccated rubble. It would have to decompose into the loam of the earth to stop being “the old barn” — and it’s only a matter of time before that actually happens.

Such is the DFL brand in rural Minnesota. Despite the Farmer-Labor movement’s distinctly rural roots, the modern DFL — for all its important social progress and electoral success in the suburbs and growing metro core of the state — does not appeal to the grandchildren of Hubert Humphrey’s most fervent supporters.

That’s a fact that is tempting to ignore, especially if the DFL keeps winning statewide races. But it will be impossible to expand health care coverage, fund schools and colleges, legalize marijuana or advance any other progressive goals without winning rural Senate and House seats.

You could try to fix the barn, of course, a decision borne of nostalgia and tradition. That’s what many establishment rural Democrats want.

But it’s probably time to consider rebuilding the barn entirely, one that suits the changing attitudes of a more apolitical and iconoclastic population of rural millennials and Gen Z. Frankly, rural progressives should put their whole energy into attracting friends and relatives to move to small towns and the country. The housing is cheap. Cost of living is low. And places like the Iron Range won’t significantly affect the result of a statewide election until more people live here.

After all, that’s how Democrats won them in the first place.

America on hospice Mission possible

President Joe: your first important mission, if you choose to accept it, is to ask 90 million American registered voters why they didn’t vote in 2020.

Then tell Chairman Tom Perez and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) to wake up from political dementia and call each non-voter for an exclusive interview.

Why didn’t we have 50 million more voters?

We had an election that really didn’t move us on the arc to FDR’s “Four Freedoms”: freedom of speech and worship, freedom from want and fear.

You made it possible for a narcissistic psychopath with no ideology except domination to get 70 million votes from a demoralized and divided country.

You and the DNC failed to tell two young generations of Whites, Blacks and Latinos what your goals for them and the country were. How often did you highlight economic inequality, systemic racism, LBGTQ+ concerns, and lousy health care?

Ninety million voters didn’t vote on election day and you put the country on hospice. Instead of a United States of America we have an America divided into Red America and Blue America.

Trump received 86% of the White vote, Biden 62%. The vote in small town America went 75% for Trump, 25% for Biden.

More than 40% of Trump voters opposed masks during COVID-19. Only 5% of Biden voters opposed.

Only 54% of Trump voters said racism is a serious problem and 88% opposed Black Lives Matter protests.

More than 95% of Biden voters thought racism is a serious problem and supported BLM protests.

One week before the election Kansans were shooting each other avout the placement of lawn signs in North Topeka. Most law enforcement agencies have said they prepared for firearm violence on or after Nov. 3.

In Minnesota, health workers conducting random virus testing and surveys were confronted by armed residents and driven from a small town which has remained unidentified. It will be interesting to see whether we kill and wound 140,000 by firearms in 2020 as we did each year in the last five.

THE GADFLY

ED RAYMOND

From ballots to bullets?

The Federal Reserve says we have about 80 million families living paycheck-to-paycheck. That means about 75% of Trumplicans and Democrats could be facing disaster in a month.

I think it’s funny that voters from each group traveled on socialist interstates, socialist city streets, crossed socialist bridges, parked in socialist

“This is the first presidential election in my lifetime in which the candidates are irrelevant. For the first time, an election is not about content of the candidates’ character, it’s about the content of the voters’ character.”

parking lots, and cast their ballots in socialist schools and socialist courthouses.

Some will go on vacation when the pandemic is more controlled. They will go to socialist airports, fly on capitalist passenger jets to another socialist airport, and travel to socialist national parks, capitalist resorts and socialist national forests to camp, fish in socialist lakes, and ski on socialist slopes. They will eat great pizzas in capitalist restaurants.

It’s time Americans get smart and recognize that the best countries to live in for all citizens are those who have balanced capitalism with democratic socialism for the common “collective” good.

North Dakota billionaire Governor Doug Burgum is using socialist tactics to rebuild downtown Fargo by using Renaissance Zone tax exemptions paid for by Fargo taxpayers.

America is not one of the best countries to live in. We have not solved two major problems: economic inequality (the rich die at 95, the poor at 60) and racial discrimination (whites are superior to all other colors although ultraviolet rays of the sun have created exterior colors. However, the blood is standard red in all human bodies.)

Here is just one problem. According to the Federal Reserve Survey of Consumer Finances, white families have the highest level of median and mean family wealth:$188,200 and $983,400, while black families’ median and mean wealth is less than 15% that of white families at $24,000 and

12 November 19, 2020 DuluthReader.com

$142,500. (The median represents the wealth of the family in the middle of the pack. The mean figure is much higher because it is a mathematical average, skewed by the concentration of wealth among the very rich.)

Wasn’t there something about “all men are created equal” in some famous document a couple of hundred years ago?

70,000,000 votes?

He got them because Democratic candidates and the Democratic National Committee went to “sleep mode” in a country possessed with the means of putting out billions of messages per day.

Meanwhile, Trump and his pathological histrionics dominated radio, TV, all social media, magazines, newspapers and the internet.

Cult leaders – whether they are Jim Jones, David Koresh or David Duke – really don’t care about people. They love only themselves. Hold political rallies in the middle of a deadly airborne pandemic, exposing maskless thousands to a virus that has killed 240,000 people and possibly injured millions long term? No big deal (“They love me!!”).

The DNC should have been holding press conferences and sending press releases to all media daily, telling 240 million registered voters what they were going to do for them. Trump should have been countered and truth-ravaged 24/7 – and, if he was going to be on TV at 4 pm, hold a national press conference at 3 pm just to piss him off.

You didn’t get real and he added

10,000,000 votes in four years.

I have some advice for PresidentElect Joe Biden, Vice-PresidentElect Kamala Harris, the DNC, and “moderate” Democrats from a politician of note: “I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice! And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue!”

After four years of Trump we need loads of liberty and lots of justice for all. Barry Goldwater had a very good idea – nd going back to “normal” and moderation ain’t going to cut it.

A country on hospice Kareem Abdul Jabbar of LA Laker and NBA fame knows more about civil rights than most because he has covered racism since he was a 7’-1” high school journalist writing for his high school newspaper and starring on the basketball team. (He still remembers when his high school coach called him a “nigger.”)

He was considered an excellent student in political science while winning championships for John Wooden and UCLA. While playing 22 years in the NBA and winning numerous championships, he joined other black stars fighting for civil rights.

On Oct. 31, 2020, I thought he wrote the two most cogent sentences of the 2020 election in his column: “This is the first presidential election in my lifetime in which the candidates are irrelevant. For the first time, an election is not about content of the candidates’ character, it’s about the content of the voters’ character.”

This is why I think America’s democracy is on hospice.

For humans, hospice care includes four levels of care designed to cover terminally ill patients, usually those with six months or less to live.

We will never know specifically how long it takes an empire to die.

The Mayans, Incas, cave dwellers, and Genghis Khan – and perhaps the English – can give us some answers.

I and millions of others did not vote for Joe Biden. We voted against Donald Trump. A bonsai tree would have gotten the same vote.

We elected Joe Biden, but in the process we lost legislators and representatives and did not take the senate.

During the primary Joe went to New Hampshire to campaign. He attracted less than 100 people. In the same town, Bernie Sanders drew thousands of young people.

DuluthReader.com

Remember – 90 million registered voters did not vote.

Bernie spoke directly to two young generations, one living paycheck-topaycheck, the other saddled with many thousands of student debt unable to buy even part of a decent future.

I bet Bernie could have added 25 to 30 million of them to the Democratic vote. But the corporate DNC and the moderates thought Joe was “safer” and less “risky.” And then they went into sleep mode, “Sleepy” Joe went into his basement for the duration, and “The Chosen One” and his 20,000 lies and fake-tan dominated national media for the entire campaign.

The DNC and Biden did not beat Trump. COVID-19 did. Boring Biden and Donald the Lyin’ King for nine months of campaigning? My God, it can’t get uglier.

Is American democracy terminal?

In the last 20 years the Republican Supreme Court, the Republican Party, and the Trumplicans have fatally wounded our democracy by flooding the country with campaign billions, 420 million firearms, billions of legal opioid pills, extreme fires, floods, and hurricanes, Qnon conspiracies, billions of lying tweets and e-mails, tax havens for the rich here and around the world, and COVID-19 air particles by the quadtrillions.

They are opposed to any policies and programs that will provide an adequate universal safety net for the poor and the physically and mentally handicapped, including Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, any form of universal health care, SNAP (food stamps), WIC, Head Start and dozens of other helpful programs. They are pro-fetus and anti-baby.

They have destroyed private and public labor unions while enhancing corporate powers, failed to enforce OSHA laws and working conditions, passed right-to-work-for-less laws in half the states, passed tax cuts for the rich only, called climate change and global warming hoaxes while denying the science behind COVID-19, opposed LBGTQ+ legislation and samesex marriage, and denigrated our allies while endorsing dictators.

They have literally destroyed voting rights by gerrymandering legislative districts into Rorschach-looking inkblots, passed at least 500 Jim Crow-type voting suppression laws, closed down thousand of precincts, and encouraged white supremacist state militias to wear “brown shirts” and goose-step their way through

BLM protests and state capitols.

They threatened to kidnap and kill Democratic governors.

Need I say more?

One more thing. Mitch McConnell infected his fellow Republicans with a syndrome that interrupts nerve messages between the brain and gonads, thus shriveling the testicles to tiny marbles over four years.

I bet Bob Zimmerman of Hibbing did not vote for Joe Biden either But I bet he voted against Trump.

At age 24, the future Nobel Prize in Literature wrote “The Times They Are a’Changin,” and I quote from the fourth stanza: “Come mothers and fathers throughout the land And don’t criticize what you can’t understand Your sons and your daughters are beyond

your command Your old road is rapidly agin’ Please get out of the new one if you can’t lend your hand For the times they are a’changin’.”

Pay attention, Joe and DNC. The new Democratic mayor of San Diego replaced a Republican who was termlimited. He is Todd Gloria, a colored gay man with four grandparents who are Native American, Filipino, Puerto Rican and Dutch. These are changing times.

I have been reading Bob Dylan’s poetic songs for many years, so I was not “shocked” as many were when he won the Nobel Prize. He is a great minstrel, jester and chronicler of our times.

The Democratic National Committee should have known how to run a campaign and get young voters into voting booths in all 50 states. It didn’t have a clue.

Craft beer industry in peril Restrictions on bars and restaurants to try to reduce COVID-19 infections imposed this week by Gov. Tim Walz dealt another blow to Minnesota’s once high-flying brewery industry.

Minnesotans looking for a pint have their pick of options from nearly 200 craft breweries across the state, thanks to a law passed in 2011 that allowed breweries to operate tap rooms for the first time.

But less than a decade after the craft beer boom took off in Minnesota, the industry may be in trouble.

Minnesota’s 51-day stay-at-home order early in the pandemic was tough on breweries, which faced a “triple whammy” as they lost taproom sales and orders from bars and restaurants

that serve their beer, said Lauren Bennett McGinty, executive director of the Minnesota Craft Brewers Guild.

It was also tough on workers. The leisure and hospitality industry, which includes breweries, has been hit the hardest by job losses in Minnesota.

The number of payroll positions in the industry fell more than 50% in April compared to the year before, and was still down 25% in September while other industries had recovered.

After restrictions were loosened, business was still slow throughout the summer and fall, Bennett McGinty said.

And now, breweries that have relied on outdoor seating – where COVID-19 is less likely to spread – are facing the uncertainty of what the cold months ahead might bring, as well as new restrictions from Walz that prohibit inperson service at bars and restaurants after 10 p.m., ban bar seating and limit capacity to 150 people.

Breweries across the state are developing creative ways to keep customers warm and safe with seating in outdoor structures through the winter, or hop-

ing to expand their indoor seating into production areas for more space, she said. Still, there’s no way to know if that will bring in enough customers to keep small breweries in business.

“As new restrictions roll in and as cases get a lot higher here, there’s generally a sense of fear for the winter,” Bennett McGinty said. “Everybody is in

this state of suspension, and they don’t know what’s going to happen next.”

Legislative Republicans change their tune on seriousness of pandemic Republicans approached 2020’s sixth special session of the Minnesota Legislature on Nov. 12 with a noticeably different tone on the issue of Gov. Tim Walz’s emergency powers – and the state’s ongoing surge of COVID-19 infections.

Having 75,704 new infections and 594 more deaths since adjourning its last session on October 15 might have had something to do with it. Even if election season is over, looking as though you’re not taking the pandemic seriously is not a good look.

Minnesota has been in a state of emergency since mid-March, which gives the governor extraordinary powers to issue executive orders, including the statewide mask mandate and this week’s 10 p.m. curfew for bars and restaurants. But the GOPcontrolled Senate did not move to cancel the state of emergency extended

by Gov. Tim Walz earlier this week, as they had done with previous extensions.

As a result, the Senate was in and out

serious and that residents should wear masks, wash their hands and maintain social distancing.

While GOP leaders have made such statements in the past, the debates over rescinding Walz’s emergency powers frequently served up charges that he was acting akin to a dictator, while also raising doubts about the seriousness of the illness and whether masks are effective.

With the infection rates booming everywhere, but especially in Greater Minnesota, such language was mostly absent. There was no talk, for example, that the state had succeeded in keeping hospitals and intensive care beds in good supply. House Minority Leader Kurt Daudt, R-Crown, said COVID-19 “is real and people should wear masks and they should be careful and they should social-distance. Do you need me to repeat that?”

When Rep. Steve Drazkowski, a Mazeppa Republican, who leads the New Republicans – a moreconservative-than-the-alreadyconservative-GOP caucus – moved to rescind the emergency declaration, both DFL and GOP leaders combined to deny it a roll call and kill it on a

voice vote.

But DFL leaders were not willing to let the Republicans off the hook for their past statements and actions around the pandemic. “The situation that Minnesota is in did not have to be so dire,” said House Majority Leader Ryan Winkler, D-Golden Valley. “We could have had cooperation at every step of the way to spread the same message to all Minnesotans about social distancing, avoiding large crowds, wearing masks. But we entered into a campaign year in which safety, public health and lives of Minnesotans and Americans became a partisan issue.”

Winkler called the response by some Republicans during the summer and fall “anti-mask lunacy.”

And Rep. Alice Mann, a DFLer from Lakeville and an emergency room doctor, told House members that health care professionals “are not okay, we are struggling to take care of you, we are struggling to take care of your family.”

Emergency rooms have become overwhelmed and approaching a time of making decisions about which patients to help, “and yet several of

you still don’t have the decency to put on a mask, the simplest act of humanity toward someone else and it’s too much to ask,” Mann said.

Mann’s comments came in the midst of a debate over a motion to take up a bill by GOP Reps. Barbara Haley of Red Wing and Dave Baker of Willmar.

House File 19 would empower the House and Senate to take up-or-down votes on individual executive orders 30 days after they are signed. It is the same up-or-down votes that have triggered the six special sessions of the year so far, convened each time Walz has extended the state of emergency, which he first declared in March.

The House GOP portrayed it as a compromise, one that would give some power back to the Legislature without jettisoning all of Walz’s emergency actions.

“We need to work together,” Haley said. “We are trying to provide a little opening in this stalemate over emergency powers.”

Baker termed the bill, “watered down but effective” compared to summertime GOP bills on emergency powers. But the DFL saw it as another way to limit Walz’s ability to respond to a pandemic that has now led to 201,795 infections and 2,793 deaths in the state.

Technically, the vote that failed 60-73 was on a motion to suspend House rules and take up the bill immediately, rather than follow the regular procedure of being assigned to a committee. And by the time the vote was taken Thursday, the Senate had adjourned, making it impossible to pass the bill during this special session anyway.

Yet the vote did expose some oddities that could make the 2021 session more difficult for Walz and his emergency powers than the 2020 sessions have been. The DFL will convene next year with a narrower 70-64 majority, down from 75-59 now. Four of the returning DFLers have voted to rescind emergencies in the past and three voted with the GOP Thursday: Reps. Dave Lislegard of Aurora, Paul Marquart of Dilworth and Julie Sandstede of Hibbing. If the DFL loses four votes on a motion to rescind the emergency powers come January, Walz loses.

“Starting in January, we will have a bipartisan majority in the House with legislators who have voted before to end the governor’s emergency powers,” Haley said in reference to those DFL members.

And yet taking a vote against the governor’s position during the runup to the election is easier when the

Minnesotans urged to halt spread In a departure from a previous order urging Minnesotans not to gather together members of more than three households for Thanksgiving, following masking and distancing precautions, MDH Commissioner Jan Malcolm on Monday urged Minnesotans not to spend Thanksgiving with people who live outside their immediate household.

“As tempting as it is to just stick with our cherished traditions, this year we really need people to reconsider and frankly not gather with other households,” she said, as case counts have accelerated beyond what health officials had previously projected; Minnesota is on pace to record more than 300,000 cases and more than 3,000 deaths before Thanksgiving. Not spending Thanksgiving with members of other households is especially critical if there are people at high risk of developing complications due to COVID-19 among those gathered.

member knows it won’t sway the result. Doing so when it could end the governor’s authority to respond to the pandemic – and when the next election is two years away – is a different political calculation. Still, it demonstrates the difference to House Speaker Melissa Hortman between a 16vote majority and a six-vote majority.

Wait, the Senate did what?

While the House was talking about the pandemic and the surge in infections and deaths, the Senate was talking about … who would be the president of the Senate.

In the type of political exercise that only an insider’s insider could follow – or much care about – the Minnesota state Senate appointed a DFLer, David Tomassoni of Chisolm, as president of the Senate on a 63-4 vote.

Why? According to Senate Majority Leader Paul Gazelka’s statement during an MPR radio interview, “We’re going to take preemptive steps to make sure we don’t have to go through that fiasco again.”

The fiasco the East Gull Lake Republican was apparently referring to was the aftermath of the 2019 appointment of then-Lt. Gov. Tina Smith to replace Al Franken in the U.S. Senate. DFLers insisted that state law required then-Senate President Michelle Fischbach to vacate her Senate seat to take the job. Had she done so,

MDH Infectious Disease Director Kris Erhesmann urged college students to take heed in making Thanksgiving plans. They are in an age group most likely to spread COVID-19, often with few or no symptoms, she noted.

As the number of COVID-19 cases associated with school sports rises, Malcolm said the health department is advocating a pause.

“We are urging there to be a pause on play and on practice as well,” she said, adding that MDH has been in discussions on the matter with education leaders and the Minnesota State High School League.

Ehresmann said there have been 46 outbreaks associated with hockey, 41 associated with volleyball, 35 associated with football, 20 associated with basketball and 15 associated with soccer. Some schools have had to switch to distance learning because of sports exposures.

the state Senate would have fallen into a 33-33 tie and a special election would have been called.

DFL lawsuits on the issue were never adjudicated on the merits, and Fischbach waited until the 2019 session was over before resigning her Senate seat and being sworn in as lieutenant governor.

But a series of highly speculative what-ifs might create a similar issue come January. If U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar should get a Biden Administration appointment and need to be replaced in the Senate, and if Walz appoints Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan to the U.S. Senate, and if the president of the Senate then becomes lieutenant governor, then there could be a special election to replace that person.

Article continues after advertisement Until Thursday morning, that person had been Jeremy Miller, a Winona Republican from a district that both parties consider winnable. If Miller been forced to vacate his seat, the Senate would be tied 33-33. And if the GOP lost his seat in a special election, the DFL would take over the majority.

To avoid such a scenario, the GOP replaced Miller for the rest of this Legislature — until early January — with someone who has a district that the GOP could possibly win in any special election, and whose absence wouldn’t change the GOP majority.

Why does this version of three dimensional chess make little sense?

Because so many things would have to happen for it to be real, starting with the fact that there is still a legal question as to whether a senator could be forced to give up their seat to become lieutenant governor. But there’s also the not incidental issue of Biden not being able to appoint Klobuchar to anything until he is president.

(Did Senate Republicans just acknowledge that Joe Biden had, in fact, defeated President Trump?)

Hearings scheduled for county budget input The St. Louis County Board will hold two public meetings to receive comments on its 2021 proposed tax levy and operating budget.

The first meeting is Monday, Nov. 23, at 7 pm in the St. Louis County Courthouse in Virginia, lower level conference room.

The second meeting will be Monday, Nov. 30, at 7 pm at the St. Louis County Government Services Center in Duluth, in the 2nd floor training center.

Both meetings will be open for the public to attend in person. The Nov. 30 meeting will also include live stream option for people to watch and provide comment virtually. A link to join the meeting virtually will be posted at stlouiscountymn.gov.

Both meetings will include a presentation about the budget and levy, and an opportunity for citizens to address the Board with questions or comments. Due to COVID-19 precautions, anyone attending in person is required to wear a face mask and should do a self-check for symptoms.

Staff from the Auditor’s Office will be available at both meetings to meet one-on-one with anyone who has questions or concerns specific to their proposed property tax statement.

The county board in September set the maximum levy for 2021 at $147.7 million. While this is an increase of 1.48% compared to this year’s levy, the county’s property tax base has increased by more than 4%, which means most property owners will pay less on the county portion of their property tax bill.

Citizens unable to participate in either of the public meetings are also welcome to provide input at any county board meeting, or by contacting commissioners directly.

CHUM among statewide excellence winners

The Minnesota Department of Human Services has announced that CHUM (formerly known as Churches United in Ministry) is among six winners of its Circle of Excellence awards for partnering with DHS and doing an exemplary job of providing food, shelter and other assistance to Minnesotans in need.

CHUM provides shelter, food and assistance to people experiencing homelessness in St. Louis County.

Open 365 days a year, it has 79 beds in a congregate shelter, six apartments for families and a drop-in center. CHUM allows people under the influence to stay at the shelter, welcomes companion animals and provides telehealth and tele-court services. Its food shelf distributes more than 600 fiveday food packages a month.

Other winners include American Indian Community Development Corporation, Minneapolis; Catholic Charities of the Diocese of St. Cloud; FamilyWise, Minneapolis; Olmsted County Housing and Redevelopment Authority; and United Community Action Partnership, Marshall.

“These six organizations have provided exceptional service to Minnesotans in need of assistance,

which is especially remarkable during this extraordinarily difficult year,” said Commissioner Jodi Harpstead. “They stand out not just for clearly meeting the Circle of Excellence Award criteria, but for their unwavering commitment to making a positive difference in communities across our state.”

This is the ninth year of the Circle of Excellence Awards. Special consideration was given this year to organizations that provided exceptional service in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Big impact noted from AmeriCorps program

The Duluth Area Family‘s True North AmeriCorps (TNAC) program is proud to share the following impact report from the 2019-2020 program year. As part of Northern MN’s helping community since 2003, this program continues to evolve to meet the needs of our neighbors.

Hosting 67 AmeriCorps members at 40 locations in Duluth and greater MN, TNAC members supported thousands. In a typical year, you can find True North AmeriCorps members in schools, after school programs, supportive housing, community centers, and summer camps leading enrichment programs and helping children build social and emotional learning (SEL) skills. Kids who build strong SEL skills have higher levels of academic achievement, more prosocial behaviors, and better resiliency in facing emotional distress.

When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, TNAC members stepped up to meet unprecedented needs. To this day, True North AmeriCorps members have supported emergency child care for displaced students of Duluth’s essential workers. Members also served as a lifeline for youth at Harbor Highlands, the Valley Youth Center, Boys and Girls Clubs, and the Damiano Center among others by helping to distribute 25,720 meals and an additional 30,765 pounds of food. One member who helped with food distribution shares, “our program came to an abrupt end when the COVID-19 pandemic hit Minnesota.

I went from seeing the kids I worked with nearly every day to seeing them never. […] knowing that their bellies are going to be full and their brains are still going to be moving is all I can ask for during an uncertain time.”

Joining the Minnesota Emergency Response Initiative, 22 new members dedicated to COVID relief were brought on from Sturgeon Lake to Grand Marais. These folks increased health and safety measures in youth summer programs; connected with isolated senior citizens; distributed food to children, families, and seniors; and supported public health research and information sharing among many other activities. Many of these activities are continuing into the 2020-2021 program year.

The benefits of serving as a member include a monthly living stipend, free health and dental insurance (FT), child care assistance (FT), student

loan forbearance, a Y membership, professional development, and an education award.

From high school graduate to retiree, nearly anyone with a passion for making a difference can serve with AmeriCorps. Host sites hold a nonprofit, school, or government entity status.

Learn more about becoming or hosting a member at truenorthamericorps.org or by contacting Alice Werle, Program Director, 218-722-4745 x169 or awerle@ duluthymca.org.

The True North AmeriCorps 20192020 year was funded in part by AmeriCorps, Serve Minnesota, the City of Duluth, the Duluth Area Family YMCA, and our partner organizations.

Boughs and know-how to make your own wreath

The holiday season is an important time for fundraising at the Boulder Lake Environmental Learning Center (BLELC). For two decades, the nonprofit has held an annual Christmas tree cut. And its popular wreath making workshops at the Glensheen mansion have typically sold out.

In 2020, the community events can’t happen due to pandemic restrictions.

But that’s not deterring Director Ryan Hueffmeier. “COVID-19 has shown us time and time again that we need to

adapt and get creative,” he says. “We decided to not let it get the better of us.

So, we have come up with a contactless, social distancing way to provide our wreath making experience.”

This year, the BLELC is selling wreath making kits for people to assemble in the comfort of their own homes, enabling this fun family tradition to safely continue. All materials (besides the wreath frame and wire) are sustainably harvested on Boulder Lake’s 18,000 acres.

The kits contain a metal wreath frame (10” or 12”), balsam fir boughs, wire and accents (pine, spruce, dogwood and cones). A “how to” instructional video link is included, along with suggestions on how to creatively use leftover balsam scraps and find additional materials to decorate the wreaths such as birch bark (never harvest from a live tree) or high bush cranberries.

In addition to supporting BLELC programming with a kit purchase, this is also a chance for people to participate in nontimber and sustainable forestry practices.

Hueffmeier explains that balsam fir is a shade tolerant, late successional tree that has a relatively short lifespan (averaging about 90 years). It tends to grow under red and white pine stands and has the potential to be a ladder fuel tree that brings fire up into the crowns of mature pines.

Harvesting and thinning balsams

during the holiday season not only assists in fire management, it provides a regional economic resource.

Wreath kits are on sale now. The cost is $25 for a 12” wreath kit or $20 for a 10” wreath kit. Online ordering is available.

On December 5, there will be a contactless pickup at the BLELC Bear Paw parking lot from 10 am to 1 pm.

To make arrangements for a different pick-up date, contact: boulder@d.umn. edu.

For an additional $10 fee, staff will deliver kits within 25 miles of the ELC. Wreaths will be sold until Christmas or until sold out, whichever comes first.

Donate directly to Boulder Lake ELC programming, bus funds, or internship stipends.

Donations of canoes, kayaks, snowshoes, fishing gear (summer and winter) and camping gear are also welcome. If you have items that you think BLELC could use, send an email to boulder@d.umn.edu.

TASTE!

Winery to watch: St. Supery

NAPA, California – Cruising along Highway 29 through the Napa Valley is a feast for the eyes of even the most casual wine lover.

From Napa to Calistoga, the hits just keep rolling past: Trefethen, Cardinale, Opus One, Robert Mondavi, Cakebread, Corison, Grgich Hills, Far Niente, Nickel & Nickel, Heitz, Martini, Beringer, Krug, Sterling, to name a few.

It’s a star-studded neighborhood.

Some of the wineries are historic; other are cultish; but all are prominent. This is a remarkable section of the wine world, where even splendid wineries often can and do fly under the radar.

I was reminded of that very fact when I came upon a sensational St. Supery merlot during the national Merlot Month of October. St. Supery has a history of superb merlot vintages, so it was no surprise that I gave it 95 points and a rave review.

At the same time, it occurred to me that St. Supery is sometimes overlooked because it is surrounded by so much star power.

That prompted me to schedule a visit with winemaker Michael Scholz during a recent visit through the area.

Scholz, a native Australian, has been winemaker at St. Supery for more than two decades. Scholz grew up in the family wine business in Australia’s Barossa Valley. Since arriving at St. Supery in 1996, he has worked with famed French consultant Michel Rolland to craft two Bordeaux-style blends, Virtu (a white wine) and Elu (a red wine), which are among the finest

VINO

ROBERT WHITLEY

DuluthReader.com

of their type in the United States.

St. Supery is located in the Rutherford district and has a small vineyard there, but the main vineyard property is the massive 1,500-acre Dollarhide Ranch in the mountains east of the valley floor.

St. Supery has 500 acres under vine at Dollarhide and benefits from diverse soil types (gravelly soils and clay, primarily) that help build complexity in the finished wines.

Some of the Dollarhide vineyards, cabernet sauvignon in particular, are also planted at elevations between 900 and 1,100 feet, another factor that translates to greater complexity in finished wines.

Even more interesting is the idea that at one time, those steep hillsides were hidden beneath the nearby Pacific Ocean.

“If I dig an eight-foot pit, I will find fossilized seashells,” Scholz notes. “And we are also lucky to have a few acres in Rutherford. Those wines have this gentle, dusty feel in the mouth.”

The St. Supery wines aren’t cheap, but that goes with the territory in the heart of the Napa Valley.

All of the wines produced at St. Supery are estate-grown and exquisitely balanced. Scholz wines are stylistically smooth and generally ready to drink upon release; they exhibit judicious decisions regarding oak (quite a lot of French oak, some new and some used), and the reds show well-managed tannins.

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.

St. Supery 2019 Dollarhide Estate Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc, Napa Valley ($35) – This wine is 100% sauvignon blanc, aged five months in French oak. It shows superb richness on the palate and exceptional complexity for this grape variety. Scholz picks at varying levels of ripeness during harvest to build complexity and structure and uses the French oak for what he calls “fatness” and texture on the palate.

Rating: 94.

St. Supery 2018 Virtu, Estate, Napa Valley ($30) – An opulent wine, the 2018 Virtu is heavy (54%) on semillon with the rest sauvignon blanc. Around 70% of this vintage was fermented in French oak, and a portion went through a secondary malolactic fermentation, which imparts a creaminess that elevates what many describe as the “yum factor.” Notes of fig and stone fruits are the predominant profile.

This is a rich, complex Bordeaux-style white blend that can compete with chardonnay when paired with grilled swordfish, salmon and cream sauces.

Rating: 95.

St. Supery 2015 Elu, Estate, Napa Valley ($75) – This vintage has all five Bordeaux grape varieties, with the heaviest accent on cabernet sauvignon.

“Michel worked with me when we created Elu, and we decided it would always be at least 65% cab,” said Scholz. “The goal was to make a wine that is beautifully scented with dark fruits and toasted oak, with great structure. I wanted a wine that would have texture but not be too tannic.”

Mission accomplished.

Rating: 95.

St. Supery 2015 Dollarhide Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley ($100) – From the vineyards at highest elevation on the Dollarhide Ranch, the 2015 Dollarhide is 100% cabernet sauvignon aged for 18 months in French oak, 48% of it new.

Beautifully structured, at five years of age, it is now rounding into shape, showing intense aromas of dark primary fruit, firm but nicely integrated tannins, a generous touch of wood spice and a subtle note of mocha. Rating: 96.

St. Supery 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon, Rutherford Estate, Napa Valley ($125) – You could technically call this vintage a Bordeaux-style red blend, although it’s 85% cabernet sauvignon (with splashes of merlot, cabernet franc and petit verdot). This vintage is simply dazzling. Showing complex layers of red and black fruits, this seamless cabernet is soft and supple on the palate, shows impressive weight mid-palate and shows a remarkably long finish. It’s one of the stars of the vintage. Rating: 98.

Vitamin C for your muscles

NUTRITION

BY CHARLYN FARGO Creators Syndicate

Those of us over 30 lose approximately 3% to 8% of our skeletal muscle mass each decade, and more once we are more than 60.

That’s a bit shocking, isn’t it?

That muscle loss can lead to frailty, type 2 diabetes, physical disability and even mortality.

But the good news is we can turn that around.

Researchers in the U.K. found that

a simple task of eating vitamin C-rich foods such as citrus, berries and vegetables can turn that muscle loss around.

Simply put, vitamin C protects skeletal muscle during aging.

The research was reported in the October 2020 issue of The Journal of Nutrition, analyzing data of vitamin C intakes from a seven-day food diary of more than 13,000 men and women (ages 42-82) in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer

22 November 19, 2020 DuluthReader.com

and Nutrition.

Researchers also looked at the vitamin C in their blood. The results showed that those with the highest amounts of vitamin C had the greatest skeletal muscle mass. And conversely, those with the lowest amounts of vitamin C intake and blood levels had the lowest skeletal muscle mass.

The positive association between dietary and plasma vitamin C and muscle mass was found in both men and women.

The greatest contributions of different food groups to the daily vitamin C intake were from fruits, vegetables, fruit juices and potatoes, respectively.

Fruits consumed included apples, apricots, avocado, bananas, berries, blueberries, citrus, figs/dates, grapes, melon, mixed fruits, peaches, nectarines, pears and plums. Vegetables included herbs, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, cucumber, green beans, peas and tomatoes.

Researchers wrote that to their knowledge, this was “the first study assessing the relation of dietary and circulating vitamin C with the sarcopenic risk factor of loss of skeletal muscle mass in a large UK cohort of both men and women of middle and older age.”

The researchers also referenced one study showing that “muscle atrophy was reversed by reintroduction of vitamin C into the diet.”

The bottom line? Fruits and vegetables high in vitamin C are important to include in your daily diet,

especially if you’re over 30.

Q AND A Q: How can I reduce the amount of sodium in my diet?

A: A teaspoon of salt has about 2,300 milligrams of sodium. Health officials recommend between 1,500 and 2,300 milligrams a day of sodium.

Most of us get far more than that amount. Fast food, restaurant food, processed foods such as bacon, ham, deli meat and sausage, chips, pickles and even ketchup all contain salt.

The best way to lower your sodium is to eat more fresh foods, such as fruits and vegetables, which are naturally low in sodium. And remember: Fresh meat has less sodium than processed meat.

Be sure to taste your food before using the salt shaker. Rinsing canned foods, such as beans, vegetables and tuna, before eating can reduce the sodium. You can also buy no salt added or reduced sodium versions.

RECIPE Here’s an easy brunch recipe for the holidays. Pair it with fresh fruit or a green salad for a meal. The recipe works well in the slow cooker.

Ham and Cheddar Hash Brown Casserole Servings: 10 (serving size 1 cup) • One 30-ounce package frozen cubed hash browns, thawed • 6 large eggs, lightly beaten • 1 cup whole milk • 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives • 1 teaspoon salt • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper • Cooking spray • 4 ounces reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (1 cup) • 2 ounces thinly sliced lowersodium deli ham, cut into 1-inch pieces • Hot sauce (optional) With paper towels, pat hash browns dry. In a 5-quart slow cooker coated with cooking spray, whisk together eggs, milk, chives, salt and pepper.

Stir in hash browns, cheese and ham.

Cover and cook on high until set, about 2 1/2 hours. Serve with hot sauce, if desired.

A delicious Wisconsin framboise FERMENT! CHEVY IMPOLA

Has this ever happened to you?

You’ve got a restless thirst that needs satisfying, but what you know you have on hand just doesn’t do the trick.

Maybe you go online and check out some cocktail recipes, but the ones that interest you have ingredients that would force you to go out into the cold winter day for a couple of items.

You get geared up to do so, but on your way out the door, you decide to glance once more in the fridge, and for a reason you can’t explain, you open the crisper – an area you generally avoid because it often contains rotting greenery of some sort – and magically find a delicious looking bottle of beer left behind from a friend’s visit some time ago.

You crack the bottle open, pour some

into a glass, take a sip and immediately realize this nectar is exactly what you had been thirsting for.

You suddenly feel things are in alignment for you, a feeling amplified with the first beautiful taste of Raspberry Tart from New Glarus Brewing.

This brew makes the cold, gray, sixweeks-before-winter winter day a little warmer. It’s sparkly summer in a bottle, from the first deep summer raspberry aroma to the beautiful spciy tartness of this unique, world-class framboise.

Dan Carey, the brewing mastermind at New Glarus, combines the base of Wisconsin-farmed wheat ale with succulent raspberries from Oregon.

Oh, man, this stuf is so juicy! And satisfying. It will put a smile on your face and a song in your heart.

Some people prefer Belgian Red, the kriek New Glarus makes, but for me, Raspberry Tart is a magical, mystical triumph of the art and science of brewing. It makes me happy.

And you might want to try it half and half with your favorite stout.

You’re welcome! *** Speaking of stout – when my eyes fell on a sixer (the only remaining six-pack of this brew on the shelf) of limited release Chocolate Cherry Stout from the California brewery Firestone Walker, I had to have it.

I’ve not seen much from that brewery in these parts, and since the combination of stout and cherries is a marriage made in heaven, it seemed a no-brainer to bring a foursome home with me on this cold and bitter Sunday afternoon.

Maybe when I get home I’ll carmelize some onions and garlic, and whip up some egg whites to make a big, fluffy omelet to go with what should be a stout well chilled from the walk home in the sharp, cold wind.

The stout was so chilled by the walk that I let a can warm up as I prepared the onions and omelet, waiting until

it was time to eat before cracking open the can.

I prefer room temperature stout.

While there may be nothing better in the world than a cold, crisp lager, cold is a stout flavor killer. Cold somehow removes many of the flavorful nuances inherent in a stout, and even more so when drinking a cherry-infused stout.

The mind naturally goes to Black Forest Cake, with deep chocolate and cherry flavors intermingling. With my first sips of this brew, I feel the separation of flavors, with the all-too subtle cherry taking the high road of the palate and the dark chocolateyness taking the low road. I searched hard to rejoice in the cherry flavor but I found it extremely subdued.

Brewmaster Matt Brynildson enhances the natural chocolate flavors that can be coaxed from roasted malts by adding cocoa nibs to this brew, which accounts for the chocolate dominance over cherry.

Me, I’d like to see this more cherry forward. But it’s a nice, velvety stout and this is the perfect time of year to indulge in deep, dark brews. It paired well with my omelet, which did not come out as fluffy as intended – in fact, looking souffle-like for much of the cook time, as I freed it from the pan, it collapsed like a pancake, making it rather dry. Lucky I had that nice, wet stout to help wash down my mistake.

Substitutions for a vegan diet If the wealth of vegan products now available in many mainstream supermarkets is any indication, more people are adopting vegan diets.

A vegan lifestyle is the practice of abstaining from the use of animal products, most notably in regard to diet. Adherents to veganism also avoid animal products in clothing and home as well.

The Vegan Society traces its origins to 1944. The main tenets of veganism have been “to seek an end to the use of animals by man for food, commodities, work, hunting, vivisection, and by all other uses involving exploitation of

animal life by man.”

However, the one aspect most readily unifying is a plant-based diet that avoids all animal foods, including dairy, eggs and honey.

As anyone who has followed an alternative diet can attest, finding recipes that also match dietary restrictions can be challenging. But thanks to more widespread adoption of these diets, including veganism, it’s now easier than ever to adhere to diets that might once have been hard to follow.

Whether one is vegan or simply wants to include more plant-based items in their cooking, these substitu-

tions can assist home chefs and bakers.

Egg substitutions Substituting eggs can be challenging. Eggs interact with other ingredients in various ways, often helping to emulsify or bring together items into particular textures. About three to four tablespoons of applesauce can replace one egg in baked goods. Bananas also are great binding ingredients in baked items. Silken tofu can be used to create a vegan version of scrambled eggs, and this tofu can be used in many different recipes in place of eggs.

Milk substitutes Scores of milk alternatives are now available on store shelves. From almond milk to coconut milk to soy milk or even hemp milk, consumers have many options. While they may not produce the exact same texture or flavor as cow’s milk, these products do quite well in various recipes.

Butter substitutes Non-dairy vegan margarines will not contain any traces of lactose or whey in their formulas. Certain varieties may contain hydrogenated oils. Read labels to find suitable products.

26 November 19, 2020 DuluthReader.com

Cheese substitutes Cheese comes in various textures, from grated to firm to soft cheeses.

While nothing in vegan cooking can completely mimic cheese, many new products come very close. Certain vegan cheeses can be made from nuts or dairy alternatives, such as almond milk and coconut. Similar fermenting processes give vegan cheese the bite associated with traditional cheeses. And other ingredients can help it to melt or crumble.

Meat substitutions Replacing meat has never been easier.

Various vegetables and fruits can mimic the texture of certain meats. Such is the case with mushrooms, which have a naturally savory, meat-like flavor.

Beans and tofu also serve well in place of meat in dishes. Seitan is made from wheat gluten instead of soybeans, which can be advantageous to anyone who also has a soy allergy and wants to go vegan.

Thanks to the vast array of new products, those who embrace veganism will find they have many ingredients available to add variety and flavor to their cooking.

An alternative to Thanksgiving turkey ably homemade 1/2-cup chopped Italian parsley Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper to taste. In a large, deep skillet (big enough to hold all chicken fairly close together; or use two skillets), melt 3 tablespoons of the butter in 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken for about 8 minutes, turning so both sides get nicely browned.

Transfer the chicken to a deep, broad, ovenproof casserole that can go from the oven to the table.

Thanksgiving is steeped in traditions involving familiar foods.

Thanksgiving may look a little different this year, and certain customs may need to be modified.

THIS WEEK IN HISTORY Duluth Herald November 19, 1888 MARINE MATTERS. Ashland capitalists, aching to own steamboat property, have dispatched an agent to Cleveland for the purpose of picking up several bargains that are in sight.

The agent is said to be well supplied with money. The scheme will quite probably prove a profitable one, and certainly will add to the importance of the shipping interests of the place. A local paper predicts that point in 1889 will exceed those of 1888 by 500,000 tons.

Sailing vessels are going into winter quarters all along the lakes now, as the season is too late for them to venture about much. At Marquette the little schooners Cris Grover and Mystic, captain Daniels’ boats, are tied up here.

Ashland, Wis. – A searching party, composed of thirty Ashland business and professional men, left for Ino yesterday morning to search for E. S. See, better known as William Burke, who was lost in the woods Sunday while hunting deer.

The fears entertained by Burke’s family and friends to the effect that he had been shot and left in the Ad appearing in the Nov. 24, 1922 edition forest were well grounded. After searching fro two hours, Burke’s of the Duluth Herald.

body was found on a runway with the entire upper part of the head shattered. The evidence deduced from the position of the body and the general aspect of things goes to prove that he was either the victim of a stray bullet, or mistaken for a deer. The body was brought to Ashland last evening and was taken in charge by the Catholic Foresters.

About a year ago Burke’s stepfather, whose name was See, met with a horrible death under the wheels of a switch engine, and one week afterwards Mrs. See, his wife, died of a broken heart. At the time of his death Burke was employed by the Standard Oil company in a position to which he would succeed J. A. Kerr, who committed suicide here Monday night.

Duluth Herald November 22, 1910 DULUTHIANS WEARY OF ABUSE OF HORSES ON THE CITY’S HILLS Animals Not Even Protected

With Knee Pads When They Fall.

Struggle Up Hills, Trembling With Exhaustion, and With Bleeding Legs.

“How long are Duluth people going to stand for the cruel overloading of horses on Duluth’s hills?”

After every snow storm the lovers of horses in the city, and every citizen with a spark of humanity in him, ask this question.

Today was another cruel day fo the horses. The light snow that fell during the morning but served to conceal the hard, slippery surface underneath, worn smooth by traffic and by the boys with their sleds.

On every avenue in the central part of the city sights were witnesses to make the blood boil. The poor, patient beasts with their cruel loads, panted and tugged up the hills, at times losing their footing and failing to rise with bloody knees, which had been cut on the pebbles and pieces of ice. Team after team became stalled on the steep hills.

There was no beating or whipping by the drivers – the crowds were in no mood to stand for that, and the drivers themselves are in many cases not to blame – but the

animals were worked to complete exhaustion, and if they exceeded in reaching the top of the hill, stood trembling, with scarcely enough strength left in them to stand. :The very least thing they could do would be to put a pair of 10-centt knee pads on the horses, so that if they fall, they won’t cut their knees,” said one indignant citizen , as he watched a team of magnificent horses, heaving and panting at a heavy load, while blood trickled from their knees.

The sentiment on the subject is surprisingly strong in the city, and if a driver were caught using his whip under such conditions, he would probably find it torn from his hands, and perhaps used around his own legs.

Efforts were made about a year ago to pass an ordinance regulating the sixe of the load, so that the police might have something on which to act, but nothing came of it.

But judging from the expressions heard on the street today, Duluthians want some action, and want it without further delay.

Duluth Herald November 23, 1920 ASSAULTED GIRL AND HER ESCORT GIVE TESTIMONY Tell Court of Assault at Circus Grounds Last June.

Courtroom Cleared of Spectators While Girl Is on Stand.

Stories of how a 17-year-old white West Duluth girl and James T. Sullivan, her 18-year-old escort on the circus grounds at Oneota on the evening of June 14 last, were set upon by a group of six or seven negroes; of how one of the assailants had held a gun to the head of the young man while the others carried the girl through the darkness to a ravine a block away and there, one by one, ravished her, were told in all of their harrowing details by the girl and her escort on the witness stand in district court this morning at the trial of Max Mason, one of the seven defendants indicted for rape.

Mason is identified both by the girl and Sullivan as being the man who held a gun to Sullivan’s head until it came his turn to ravish the girl and then surrendered it to one DuluthReader.com

The girl was the first witness called when the state opened its case yesterday afternoon. At the request of County Attorney Warren E. Greene, Judge L. S. Nelson ordered the court room cleared of spectators whole the complaining witness gave her testimony.

When her cross examination was concluded this morning and she had stepped from the courtroom, Attorney F. L. Barnett, colored, of counsel for the defense, asked the court to permit spectators to be admitted again. This request was granted.

The girl’s testimony was concluded this morning. After being cross-examined on every point by Attorney Barnett, she was excused. County Attorney Greene then called Sullivan and he told practically the same story, corroborating the girl in every particular. He was on the stand for cross-examination when court

adjourned for the noon recess.

Other witnesses who will be called by the sate will be the parents of the girl, Dr. Graham of West Duluth and Dr. W. A. Coventry and police officials. It is expected that the sate’s case will be concluded some time tomorrow.

Duluth Herald November 24, 1922 POLICE NAB CAR AND MOONSHINE Automobile and Eight Gallons of Liquor Seized in Raid.

Superior – Eight jugs of moonshine and a new automobile were taken in a raid last night when the police dry squad surrounded a vacant lot in the rear of the Lafayette hotel, North Fifth street.

A man who gave his name to police as Ed Knudson was charged with unlawful transportation of liquor.

Knudson, when arraigned in municipal court today, entered a

plea of not guilty and his case was adjourned by Judge F. S. Parker until Dec. 3. He was released upon furnishing $300 bail.

John Schulz, proprietor of a soft drink parlor at 405 Tower avenue, admitted guilt to an illegal possession charge and was fined $200 and costs. Schulz’s place was raided last night and a quantity of moonshine and home-brew found on the premises.

J.F. Quinn was arrested last night by patrolman Leo Skinner on a charge of vending liquor from the hip. Quinn pleaded not guilty to the charge when arraigned in court and furnished $300 bail for his release. His case will be heard Dec. 2.

Remembering Indian Division of CCC Between 1933 and 1943, Native Americans worked on their lands as part of the Civilian Conservation Corps-Indian Division, run by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA).

More than 2,000 Native families in Minnesota benefited from the wages as participants developed work skills and communities gained infrastructure like roads and wells.

The federal public work program known as the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) formed in 1933 in response to the soaring unemployment rates of the Great Depression. Native American communities faced deeper poverty and hardship than many others, prompting the BIA to create a CCC division that could bring jobs and skills training to reservations. First called the Indian Emergency Conservation Work program (IECW), it was eventually renamed the Civilian Conservation Corps-Indian Division (CCC-ID).

Beginning in 1933, Ojibwe and Dakota work crews in Minnesota signed on with the CCC-ID to provide income for themselves and their families. The BIA ran the program and allotted federal funding for the CCC-ID for about nine years. The Consolidated Chippewa Agency (serving White Earth, Nett Lake, Grand Portage, Fond du Lac, Mille Lacs, Leech Lake) and the Red Lake Agency both registered Ojibwe people in the program with the help of Ojibwe social worker and CCC-ID employee Isabella Robideau.

The Minnesota Sioux Agency registered Dakota men from Eggleston, Prairie Island, Shakopee, Granite Falls, Morton, Pipestone, and Prior Lake.

Men seventeen years and older as well as some women worked on CCC-ID projects that mattered to their communities, both on and off reservations. They experienced fewer military-style regulations in their work lives than those in the rest of the CCC, and some Ojibwe workers spoke Anishinaabemowin in addition to English. Men held positions as camp managers, assistant foremen, draftsmen, transit operators, mechanics, machine operators, blacksmiths, and laborers. They

HARLYN LAFONTAINE

Civilian Conservation Corps-Indian Division (CCC-ID) workers from the Nett Lake Reservation (one of the reservations of the Bois Forte Band of Chippewa), July 30, 1941. sometimes worked through the winter and in bad weather.

The CCC-ID offered classes on topics like fighting forest fires and using building tools. In July 1935, the Consolidated Chippewa agency offered classes in forestry, bookkeeping, art, English, and history. Nett Lake’s offerings included science, mechanics, chorus, art, English, drama, shorthand, and tap dancing.

Consolidated Chippewa crews cleared pathways like the Blacklock Trail—described as “mostly uphill”— for the transportation of fire personnel and horses. They strung telephone wire, built fire look-out towers, and even fought forest fires directly. They also cleared bushes in white pine forests to prevent blister rust.

Consolidated Chippewa workers took on two of the CCC-ID’s largest-scale projects. For the first, completed at Grand Portage between 1939 and 1940, they rebuilt the historic site’s stockade and gathered archeological objects for donation to the Cook County Historical Society. Thanks in part to their efforts, the nine-mile Grand Portage Trail, a site of cultural and historical importance to the Ojibwe, later became the Grand Portage National Monument.

For the second project, a thirtyfive-person unit from White Earth made a wild rice site at Rice Lake more accessible by building a log walkway, constructing docks and canals, clearing five ten-acre campsites, and adding restrooms. A Nett Lake crew also

30 November19, 2020 DuluthReader.com

worked on a rice camp project. The workers left projects when necessary in order to gather wild rice with their families.

Blister-rust work at Red Lake meant cutting, clearing, and burning bushes and stumps to protect white pines from

the spores of currant bushes. Crews there also did fire prevention work, and one project at Ponemah Camp created a tree nursery. Workers grew trees in the Experimental Plot project, made maple syrup, and surveyed and mapped 80,000 acres of the Red Lake forest. The Red Lake Agency offered classes in first aid, forestry, communication, and current events.

The Minnesota Sioux Agency’s projects varied. From 1934 to 1936, one Dakota crew worked in the Pipestone quarry to create picnic areas and a visitors’ shelter, laying the groundwork for the Pipestone National Monument. Another dug wells and installed water pipes for the local community. Workmen also cleared trees around a school and erected a railing of posts and wire to mark boundaries between reservation and non-reservation land.

The CCC-ID dissolved in 1943 when the federal government diverted attention and funding to World War II. By then, Native Americans from multiple Minnesota communities had gained wages, work experience (including management experience), and some improvements in living conditions.

Get several estimates when replacing concrete driveway Dear James: We have a concrete driveway and a walkway, and both are crumbling. We have received replacement quotes from contractors.

What details are most important to choose one?

– Mike S. JAMES Dear Mike: DULLEY A crumbling concrete sidewalk and driveway can be hazardous to walk on in addition to looking really bad. It does not take much roughness and unevenness to cause someone to fall. Once the concrete starts to crumble, it will continue to get worse, especially in climates with winter daily freeze-thaw cycles.

not installed properly initially, because they should have lasted a very long time. A slight shifting and unevenness are not uncommon, but the crumbling surface indicates it was not cured properly. Extreme weather conditions without proper attention can cause this.

Having a little background in concrete technology will help you evaluate various contractors and their techniques. The Portland Cement Association is an excellent source for basic information on the types and uses of concrete.

First of all, concrete does not dry like paint on a wall. It is a chemical reaction within the cement which is activated when it is mixed with water. The gravel and sand are added as filler and to give more strength to the concrete mixture. The type and size of sand and gravel used affect the

appearance and surface texture.

The cement functions as glue to hold the gravel and sand together. When water and cement are mixed together, crystals form small interlocking needles, binding everything together.

The strength of the cured concrete varies and depends upon the relative

amounts of cement, sand and gravel used.

Your local building codes should specify the minimum strength of concrete used for the driveway and sidewalks. Check the quotation from the contractor to make sure the proper concrete strength mixture is specified.

Although it may cost more for a large work crew, adequate manpower is imperative for a long-lasting concrete job. If a contractor cuts corners to save money with too few workers, the concrete may start to set up before they can get it installed and leveled.

To allow for more working time with fewer workers, the contractor may have to add a little extra water to the surface for more time to get it smooth with a nice finish.

Adding extra water can dramatically reduce the strength of the concrete surface. This may be what caused problems with your existing driveway.

The contractor should specify wire mesh and 1/2-inch rebar (steel reinforcing rods) in the concrete. This reinforcement minimizes the number of deep cracks in the concrete.

Since concrete shrinks as it cures, crack control grooves should be made so the small cracks form only in these grooves.

It is best if the concrete cures slowly and the surface does not dry out too fast. The humidity level and temperature in your climate impacts this.

Even though the concrete feels hard in several hours, it takes weeks for it to reach its full cured strength.

Ask the contractors how they plan to control the curing and if they plan to spray on a curing compound to control surface water loss during curing.

Another simple method to reduce the surface drying is to cover the fresh concrete with plastic film. Lightly misting the surface with water can also help. Don’t spray on so much water that it pools on the surface.

Gun deer license sales up amid pandemic Wisconsin sporting goods stores report ammunition shortage The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is encouraging deer hunters to take extra precautions this year as the coronavirus pandemic continues to build across the state.

“We’re just reminding hunters that it’s not a time to let your guard down,” said Eric Lobner, wildlife management bureau director for the DNR. Gun deer season opens Saturday, and the agency is expecting to see a spike in the number of hunters this year. Sales for gun deer licenses are up about 10 percent compared to last year, according to the DNR. “Nationally, any time there’s a downturn in the economy, there is generally an increase in hunting license sales, so this year is definitely playing true with that,” Lobner said.

Hunters should wear masks and

socially distance when they encounter people from outside their household, he said. They should also look for opportunities to hunt locally on the DNR’s Hunt Wild app, he added.

And though hunting is a social sport, Lobner recommends people avoid staying at deer camps this year.

“Think about maybe just driving there for the day and participating in the hunt, and then avoid those evening social events that are ultimately where people get together.

Those are where greater risk of spreading COVID can occur,” he said.

Due to the coronavirus, the DNR suspended in-person training requirements through the end of the year for new hunters younger than 18.

The agency is also asking hunters to register their deer by phone or online, and to have it tested for chronic

wasting disease.

The pandemic has also left hunters facing an ammunition shortage, according to several Wisconsin outdoor outfitters.

“There are some calibers of ammo that are harder to get than others, but 99 percent of ammo is gone,” said Breck Eytcheson, who works in sporting goods at Log Cabin Store & Eatery.

Located in Danbury, Log Cabin typically sees a spike in business from Minnesota’s gun deer season, which opened Nov. 7. It’ll be difficult for Wisconsin hunters to find ammo if they haven’t already bought it, Eytcheson said.

With the uncertainty surrounding the coronavirus and its effects on the economy, Eytcheson said the ammunition shortage is likely to last.

He and his colleagues are already thinking ahead to next hunting season — that’s his advice to hunters too.

“If you find it, buy it, because it’s

going to be tough,” he said.

And it’s not just ammunition that’s difficult to come by this year. Across the board, outdoor equipment is in short supply.

Supply chain challenges brought on by coronavirus are a contributing factor, Eytcheson said. Some Americanmade gear is easier to keep in stock, and he’s ordering more products from local small businesses amid the pandemic, he said.

But a surge in demand is also playing a role.

“It seems like, with the kids not playing sports this summer and whatnot, that they’re getting pushed toward another avenue, which would be the outdoors, and a lot of them are finding that they appreciate the outdoors more than playing baseball or video games or that kind of stuff,” he said.

The DNR has also noticed a big uptick in the number of people getting outside this year.

Ford trucks run from Ranger, to F-350, to Transit

Before the colorful leaves blew away, the Ford F-350 with its 7.3-liter gasoline V8 found the perfect backdrop. Photos by John Gilbert.

Everybody’s building trucks these days, because it seems as though everybody’s buying trucks. And nobody does trucks like Ford. The Dearborn, Michigan, company got a lot of publicity when it announced a year ago that it was going to discontinue nearly all its cars — saving, most notably, the Mustang — but in the succeeding year, Ford has done wonders to make its very good trucks even better.

We’ve discussed here various models of the F-150, the mainstream top-seller, so today we’re going to examine the variety of other trucks you can find at your local Ford dealership.

The main focus is on the F-350 Super Duty, a monster truck with a monster

engine. In the old days, Ford used to install a 7.3-liter turbodiesel V8 in their biggest pickups. Maybe out of a bit of nostalgia, Ford is now installing a 7.3-liter gasoline V8 in the F-350 I test-drove for a week. I made the most of it, acting as though we were a family that needed such a vehicle, to tow a house trailer, or a house, for that matter.

My wife, Joan, and I also put its factory sprayedon bedliner to good use for a little bit of bicycle riding along the North Shore, even though the temperature was not what you’d call ideal for such a workout. The truck, however, never flinched.

Who ever thought you could find

such luxury as well as performance in a pickup truck? Well, maybe someone who understands that if you need mega-power you need to shell out big bucks, and if you’re going to spend $70,120, you’d better get some luxury.

So that is what you can get if you want the biggest pickup, as the F-350 is much larger than the F-150. But what about if you don’t need the super-sized monster truck? Well, you can find the return of the midsize Ranger is also pretty loaded with features, and, if the F-150 hadn’t grown to its current size, the Ranger might be just right for most pickup chores. And at $42,305, my loaded test-Ranger is about half the price of the F-350 — and well under half its price if you chose Ford’s biggest turbodiesel instead of the 7.3 gas engine.

And for something really bizarre,

ponder for a moment what you might want to invest in if you wanted to build a converted van into a traveling motorhome of reasonable size. My suggestion is the Ford Transit. You may have never even heard of the Transit, but it is a very intriguing vehicle. It began life as a copy of the European delivery van popular in every major European city, but it has taken on some distinct U.S. characteristics over the last decade. And it drives with quick agility and surprisingly good handling.

The test Transit I had for a week had four rows of seats, in case you wanted a vehicle for post-pandemic hauling of your kid’s entire classroom. You can get the interior of the Transit custom designed as you might choose, and if you weren’t satisfied with that, you could find anyone from a local custom coach builder to Winnebago to convert

The Ford Transit is tall, but not awkward to drive, with a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 and AWD -- begging for conversion.

Midsize Ford Ranger is sporty and close to big enough with its 2.3-liter EcoBoost 4.

the interior to a couple of beds, a kitchen unit and even a bathroom.

Then it the road.

It came equipped with a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, the same engine used in most of the F-150s, and it allows you to zoom away from a standstill and put the 10-speed transmission through its paces. The test Transit was in Race Red, which is a stunning color for anything from a car, if they had one, to the Transit. Quick in accelerating and smooth for highway cruising, the oversized, tall Transit was never a problem, even in cross winds, and a lot of that might have been because it also came equipped with all-wheel drive.

Try that on your overland camping trip!

The Ranger, on the other hand, came with Ford’s 2.3-liter EcoBoost 4-cylinder, similar to the turbocharged engine I tested in a Mustang a few weeks ago. In the test Ranger, which came in Lariat trim with a 126-inch wheelbase with a SuperCrew body.

That means a full-sized rear seat with fold-down capability but room for two or three to ride in comfort.

The front buckets are sporty and comfortable and the interior is classy, with rich appointments. It also has a 10-speed automatic, with a trailer towing package and all the safety and connectivity tricks, plus a trailertowing package and electronic locking differential.

The Ranger came in Rapid Red, a more metallic, almost wet-looking deep red that looked good in daylight, and even better in subdued light.

Climbing up the step to enter the F-350 again, we knew it was the

F-350 because it was Velocity Blue, an interesting color. I had driven a 2020 Rapid Red Super Duty F-250 with a 6.7-liter turboc=diesel that cost $82,850 — because of the diesel — so I guess that makes the F-350 at $70,120 a bargain, with the 7.3 gas engine.

Ford, as all truck guys know, invented a remarkable bed-climbing device to make entry to the bed simple, and it is the best in the industry.

When Joan and I thought it was a nice enough fall day to take our little-used bikes down near the North Shore for a little workout on a little used but flat asphalt roadway, we made our move. I did it the first time, but Joan took over when we got finished. You flip the little handle to lower the tailgate, which is thick, and you release another switch and the top of the tailgate drops down and unfolds to reveal a very neat and sturdy step. It’s still high, and unless you’re a high jumper, you still need a little help.

Sure enough, you release yet another switch and pull out a long, sturdy stalk, which folds up and locks in place with a nice, reassuring click. Grab it, with gusto, and pulling yourself up onto that step is easy, as is the next step, into the bed. We were able to easily load our two bicycles into the bed and simply lean them against either side, and off we went. Unloading was just the reverse, and after we rode up and down the road a while, we returned to the F-350 for the easy loading up again, and we were off for home.

At a $53,000 base price, the F-350 could make a truck buyer very happy for many years of plowing or hauling or towing. But the many features from

Tremor off-road package that pretty much assures you can go anywhere With the size and brawn of that monster, who would argue with you?

Joan had no trouble lowering the tailgate, dropping the step, and locking the handgrip in place on the F-350.

Lost causes: From Confederacy to Trump President Donald Trump has embarked on a lost cause akin to that embraced by Southerners after the Confederacy was crushed.

That historical “Lost Cause” falsely posited that the U.S. Civil War was fought not to defend slavery, but, rather, to preserve states’ rights and their cherished Southern way of life.

That was a lie.

The Confederates were soundly defeated, surrendering unconditionally at Appomattox on April 9, 1865. But the institutions they fought to protect – white supremacy and the brutal oppression of African Americans – continued, shrouded in the false narrative of the Lost Cause.

Trump and Trumpism are its new embodiment, a Lost Cause embraced by more than 70 million voters in this past election.

Trump refuses to concede to former Vice President Joe Biden, filing lawsuits challenging Biden’s decisive electoral college lead, and despite losing to Biden in the popular vote by more than 5 million votes (and still counting).

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, meanwhile, publicly promises “a smooth transition to a second Trump administration.”

Trump fired his defense secretary and others deemed insufficiently loyal, and is packing the Pentagon with “yes men,” like racist Islamophobe Anthony Tata, who called President Obama a “secret Muslim,” a “Manchurian Candidate” and a “terrorist leader.”

Lost amidst the chaos is this simple, inarguable fact: Mass movements drove the historic voter turnout that won the election for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

“It is the organizers ... who have been organizing Black communities around issues that impact us, that mobilized those voters for the Biden-Harris win,” Bree Newsome Bass, a North Carolina-based artist and antiracist activist said this week on the Democracy Now! news hour. She has little patience for the bipartisan direction being signaled by the Biden transition team: “The Democratic leadership is simultaneously making the claim that

we need to reach across the aisle, to engage in bipartisanship with the party that is not acknowledging the election results; the party that just tried to prevent us from having a free and fair election; the party that engaged in rampant voter suppression, disenfranchisement and intimidation, particularly in communities of color; the party that is completely opposed to the idea of our existence; the party that is essentially advocating a form of genocide through medical neglect that has been ravaging our communities.”

In the wake of the 2015 killings of eight African American parishioners and their pastor at Charleston, South Carolina’s Emanuel AME Church, Bree Newsome took a brave, defiant stand against systemic racism.

The killer was a proud white supremacist who had posted photos of himself with the Confederate Battle Flag – a racist emblem that still flew on the grounds of the South Carolina State Capitol.

In the global outpouring of anger and grief following the massacre, Newsome scaled the Capitol’s 30-foot flagpole as police looked on from below, and took down the Confederate flag.

After unhooking the flag, Newsome yelled, “You come against me with hatred and oppression and violence. I come against you in the name of God. This flag comes down today!”

She was arrested and taken to jail.

While the authorities quickly replaced

the flag, within two weeks the state

DEMOCRACY

NOW

Bree Newsome Bass legislature voted to remove it permanently.

Following the police murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis last May, the global movement against racism and police brutality exploded. Millions of people, across racial, class and generational lines, took to the streets.

One consistent demand was to “defund the police,” a phrase denounced by several Democratic congressmembers on a post-election conference call who claimed it hurt reelection prospects for Democrats in swing districts.

“We need to understand what ‘defund the police’ means,” professor Eddie Glaude, chair of Princeton University’s Department of African American Studies, said on Democracy Now! “Bud-

get your values ... Why are you spending 60, 70% of your municipal budgets on policing, when you have education, social services and the like?”

He continued, “The reckoning that we find ourselves in involves whether or not we’re going to fundamentally embrace the idea that we are a multiracial democracy.”

The earliest documented use of the phrase “Lost Cause,” rebranding the Confederacy as a struggle for Southern culture and state’s rights, was in 1866.

The Lost Cause myth propelled more than a century and a half of violence and racism, lynchings, cross burnings, Jim Crow laws, police brutality and the mass incarceration of people of color.

Trump, for the moment, remains president, with immense executive power and an arsenal of weapons at his disposal, all managed by a circle of sycophants eager to do his bidding. If law, tradition and the popular vote prevail over the next two months, Trump will leave, or be removed from office, on January 20, 2021.

Trumpism, however, will remain after he is gone, a new incarnation of the old Lost Cause of the Confederacy.

Pitted Simple peasants in parts of Central Europe have a proverb. “News distracts us from history.”

Thinking it’s time for a change in my weekly abuse of an unoffending public I’ll try to follow (you know me, no promises) a simple theme of exploring pits. Simple right?

What’s more obviously straightforward than a hole in the ground?

Miners (raise your hand if you personally know one – not many hands up is my guess) will tell us there’s a lot more to it than digging a hole. Think this way.

How large does the top of the hole have to be to give sufficient space to work 500 feet down? You have to engineer the pit like a reverse pyramid with its top flattened to a work area. Like pyramid builders there’s the issue of getting up and down to factor in.

A hole is the result, but to have been useful at all that hole had to be engineered. Same holds for waste rock.

What base do you need to achieve a multi-layer pile of stable material?

Expressions such as open pit or iron mining are used without much regard for content. In other words, those expressive terms are like holes; they are without content.

As I see it much of the news we hear is a distraction and like a pit is missing in contents. I’m not complaining and in fact find this quite understandable because as humans we like things easy and uncomplicated.

In an earlier century people would sometimes say “Man is the noblest work of God.” Today we are inclined to see ourselves above all that. We are too smart and technologically savvy to be

a creation. We as creators have no need of superstitious belief in gods, omens, prophecies or portents. Instead we have polls.

It’ll sound wrong to hear modern polling compared to ancient days taking auguries in the flight of birds or portents of the future in the liver of a sacrificial animal. Polls are scientific whereas the guts of a sacrificed beast are not.

Exactly, but are polls as scientifically accurate as we give them credit or are they derived through assumptions solid as auguries seen in bird flight?

Is it science or an augury when we hear stats or polls detailing human behavior according to race, religion, or social class?

If you take out a loan or register to vote are you required to specify race, religion, or class? Why no. In fact it would be illegal to be asked such things, so where do pollsters and statisticians get their results if not from deriving them from calculated assumptions not so very far removed from the work of pontiffs of old assessing present and future in the flight of birds.

In what I hope will be fair I freely admit lenders must have access to a borrower’s financial info. But can they share that confidential information and can it be tied to race, religious, or ethnic elements that were not recorded at all? Seers of old pawed through a sheep’s liver to get at the inferred facts.

Statisticians of today dig through numbers to reach their inferences. It’s more apparently scientific these days, and complex, but deriving numbers and facts remains guesswork with an

OPEN PITS HARRY DRABIK

intuitional bias I suspect was shared by pontiffs reading success or failure on the wing.

Oh, and another commonality; pontiffs and pollsters perform for payment. Remember to put that factor into the hole.

A great failing of news and commentary is its growing disregard for assumptions.

How often and why is it assumed that the leading refugee problem began in 1948 with Palestinians?

There have been far more people displaced in Central Europe, but who mentions them? Hungarians, Ukrainians, and Romanians greatly outnumber Palestinians.

I only mention Central Europe because it is fairly near the Middle East and would be more easily on our radar than population displacement in Asia or Africa.

It appears we accept topical bias as OK. Political prioritizing of suffering is an accepted on-going practice. Why? Is it because children held in cages are better political fare than children used as legal shields?

Is one of those actually any better than the other, and could it be the caged child is better off than the abducted pawn? Being comfortable with conclusions is a way to stay oblivious.

Oblivious? How can we be oblivious while being so well informed? But is it information or distraction?

An unending cascade of “new” obscures an “old” picture repeating.

You may not have heard of Batak, more than a hundred years ago a widely

known incident took place there. To show their unruly minorities who was in charge the Ottoman, Turks set a force of converted Bulgarians to teach a lesson to some thousands of their Christian Bulgarian neighbors. The exact number (5,000 a safe number) and whether heads were kicked and sent around or whether some boys were castrated as a warning or some girls taken so the devout could have added wives is not important to a scene (done in a church to drive the lesson home) of butchery as literal piles of bodies overfilled the floor.

The Ottoman Turks wanted the lesson known, so what took place at Batak was not kept secret. It would have less utility if it was. But for now forget the slaughter. We have plenty more examples where that came from.

Simply imagine the convert being told to hack to pieces his share of captives. Did the convert show vigor at the task to impress watchers with his convert zeal? Did the convert strike hard to more quickly end the misery of those being cut apart?

And then look down another 10, 20 or more years of life with those memories. How do people do it?

It seems despite the evidence of their own actions the inhumane convince themselves they are good and others evil.

No American could have written “Myth is the never was that is never absent.”

What we put in the pit is as important as what we took out. An American did write that.

Great gifts for outdoor folks Millions of people across the globe have a passion for hunting. When the time comes to find gifts for the avid hunters in your life, indulging their passion for the great outdoors can make for the perfect present.

Hunters come in all shapes and sizes and from all walks of life. When shopping for gifts for hunters, it can be advantageous, particularly for consumers who don’t hunt, to think of the ages and experience levels of their loved ones and then go from there.

Young and/or inexperienced hunters Many areas have minimum age requirements for hunters, and nearly every region requires hunters to take courses on hunting safety before they can apply for hunting licenses.

Financing such educations can be an ideal gift for young hunters, ensuring they will have a strong foundation in firearm safety and other important aspects of hunting before they come of age and go on their first hunting trip.

A two-way radio makes another great gift for young hunters, especially who don’t yet have their own phones. Even those that who have phones may find it more fun to speak with their fellow hunters over their special radios than on the phones they use every day.

Gear, which can include everything from attire to knives to compound bows and more, also can make for a great gift for young hunters or those just learning the ropes. However, consumers buying for youngsters who aren’t their own children should first consult the child’s parents to determine their readiness for certain gear.

Established hunters Established hunters who have strong passions for the sport may already have everything they need. And even those that don’t may prefer certain manufacturers. It can be difficult to learn of such preferences without speaking directly to a loved one, which can spoil the surprise. In such instances, consider gifting a hunting experience. Finance a trip to a hunting ground a loved one wants to visit but never has. Go along for the trip and you might just develop your own passion for hunting.

Some additional gifts that can be great for established hunters include a rifle case; ammo cans; a bore guide, which hunters use to clean their rifles; camping gear; headlamps; and other

items hunters routinely use that could be in need of an upgrade.

Of course, one of the best reasons to choose a hunting-related gift for the family outdoorsman is it might compel them to share their bounty when they return home from a successful trip. A cookbook that offers tips on butchering in addition to recipes can make for the perfect gift, and one that the whole family will ultimately enjoy at the dinner table.

The Bureau of Economic Analysis revealed that the outdoor recreation industry contributed $412 billion to the U.S. Gross Domestic Product in 2016. The industry also employed around 4.55 million people.

Millennials are helping drive the growing interest in the great outdoors, as this demographic now accounts for 38 percent of the 75 million active camper households in the United States, according to an independent 2017 North American Camping Report.

When shopping for the outdoor enthusiast on their list this holiday

season, shoppers can consider these gifts that cater to avid campers, hikers and explorers.

Camping surprises People who can’t resist sleeping under the stars will appreciate gifts that make camping excursions even more special. Kampgrounds of America offers gift cards that are accepted at any of their many campsites, which helps cover the fees for the site and camp store purchases.

Any new gear, whether it be sleeping bags/pads, water filtration devices, tents, fuel, or cooking supplies also make great gifts for campers. A highquality cast-iron skillet or Dutch oven is a gift that can last for years.

Hiking adventures The right gear can make a hike even more enjoyable. A durable hiking pack, compass or GPS tracker, comfortable hiking shoes, polarizing sunglasses, collapsible hammock, and/or hiking food packs make great gifts for

seasoned or even novice hikers. Tickets for transportation to Appalachian Trail trailheads, or other notable trails across the country, also can be fitting gifts.

Cycling treats Cycling can be a recreational pursuit, a means of commuting or a great way to shed a few pounds.

Research from Breakaway Research Group for People for Bikes found that 100 million Americans bike each year.

Statistics Canada indicates that around 41 percent of Canadians ages 12 and older cycle each year. Gifts focusing on cycling can appeal to cyclists of all ages. Gifts can include cleaning and lube kits, a mini tire inflater, portable repair tools, a bike phone mount, a wearable bicycle cable lock, and a bicycle storage rack.

The great outdoors beckons many people. Shoppers have numerous options at their disposal when looking for gifts for the outdoor enthusiasts on their shopping lists.

What is coprophagia, and are you sure you want to know?

Dear Readers: OK, we are just going to go there, lay it bare and talk about it. Why do dogs sometimes eat poop? This is called coprophagia, and there are several reasons for it. Let’s check them out.

When puppies eat stool, they are most often emulating the mother. Mom (by instinct) will eat the waste of her puppies to get rid of the odor in order to discourage predators. Puppies may never grow out of this habit.

Keep the yard and puppy pads spotless to try to stop this behavior.

If puppy continues, he may have digestive troubles.

An exam by a veterinarian is called for.

Adult dogs can eat poop as a reaction to being bored or stressed, or they can be trying to compensate for not getting enough food.

To stop this behavior, make sure Dog has a good quality diet, fresh water, lots of playtime and socializing, and attention. Never punish the dog for eating poop; rather, correct the cause. – Heloise

HINTS FROM HELOISE

PET PAL Dear Readers: Meet Tiger. John M. sent two pics of this white and torti-colored cat. So sweet, with big eyes. Tiger’s sitting by a clock reminding us that the time we have with our pets is shorter than we would like. Do you have a funny and furry friend you’d like to share? Email a picture or two, along with a description, to Heloise@Heloise.com. – Heloise SOGGY SOLUTION Dear Heloise: I put peanut butter on both sides of the bread and the jelly in the middle. This prevents the jelly from making the bread soggy. – Erin T., age 11, in Ohio WOOD WORK Dear Readers: When’s the last time you did a good detail cleaning of your baseboards? Can’t remember? It’s time. You do hopefully dust the baseboards on a regular basis. This will make a deep cleaning easier. A barely damp microfiber cloth can attract dust.

Chemical cleaners and those with ammonia should never find any woodwork in your home – it can be drying and damaging. Mild detergent diluted with water will work just fine.

Furniture oils can moisturize to limit drying and cracking. Wax can harden the finish and lessen the look of scratches. Read the labels on these products.

For long-term care of baseboards, limit their time in the sun, and keep the humidity in your home low, between 25% and 50%. – Heloise

Thank you. – Reader in Troy, Ohio Reader in Troy, you can put up two or three picture shelves on a wall and display your photos. This way you can change out photos whenever you want.

You could also arrange them in a cluster on one wall. Lay the photos on a bed sheet before hanging so you can see how it will look on the wall. Try for a sense of balance. You can mix various frame styles and they’ll look nice together. – Heloise PHONE CALLS Dear Heloise: I saw, yet again, in your column for people to hang up on scammers. Why not recommend we don’t answer unidentified numbers? We do that, and if it is a legitimate call, they will leave a message. We simply don’t answer any unidentified numbers. – Marie, via email Marie, many scammers are “spoofing” to disguise their identity. They may use a number that you know, such as one from a son, daughter or friend. However, you are correct about not answering unidentified numbers. And never answer any questions about personal information. – Heloise DOG WALKERS Dear Heloise: Yes, dog walkers should pick up after the dog. But, more to the point, why do dog walkers assume they have some inherent right to trespass on your front yard? – M.D., via email M.D., dog walkers need to pick up after their dogs.

• It keeps our communities sanitary.

• Dog feces is NOT fertilizer.

• It contains pollutants and bacteria that can be harmful to people and pets.

• In many communities, you are required by law to pick up after your pet.

A WILL VS. A LIVING WILL Dear Heloise: What is the difference between a will and a living will? Do I need both? – Doris A., Ridgewood, N.J. Doris, yes, you’ll need both, because they are two different things. A will is a legal document that specifies how you want your property divided and who should be the guardians of your minor children. It names the executor of your estate, and it’s only used after a person dies.

A living will – sometimes called an advanced health care directive – is a private document that contains instructions for medical treatment if you are unable to speak or communicate your wishes. You must be 18 years of age to sign a living will. A copy of your will should go to your attorney, while a copy of your living will goes to your doctor. Do not put funeral directives in either a will or living will.

Either make arrangements before you die or tell a close family member what you want done. – Heloise Send a money-saving or timesaving hint to Heloise, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001, or you can fax it to 1-210-HELOISE or email it to Heloise@Heloise.com.

THE GRATER GOOD Dear Heloise: I use a box grater (Grandma called her metal one a knucklebuster – ha ha!) to grate cold cheese, butter and cream cheese. It saves thawing time. And for these items, I usually just eyeball the amounts needed for a recipe, so measuring isn’t an issue. – Kali T. in Ohio MATCHY MATCH Dear Heloise: My hairstylist recommended to always use the matching shampoo and conditioner of a brand. They are made to chemically go together, to complement each other. – Heather W. in New York Dear Heloise: I enjoy reading your column very much. Many good hints.

I have several family pictures in all sorts of frames and sizes. I want to put them on a wall in the guest bedroom, where they can be seen. Is there a way to do this?

With hunting seasons friction in contact with the and the rut (mating ground. Besides increasing season) in full swing, speed, this also decreases October and November noise when they’re are the top months for walking through crunchy deer-vehicle collisions in leaves. For added traction, Wisconsin. According to the Wisconsin deer have two vestigial toes, called DOT, “Last year in Wisconsin, there “dew claws” that occur farther up their were 18,414 reported deer/vehicle leg.

The stored energy adds power to their jump – which can clear an 8-foot fence. In a photo captured mid-leap, you can see that the hooves are curled back due to the contraction of that ligament.

That’s just one example of deer hinging in ways we don’t. Have you ever noticed that a deer’s rear “knees” bend backwards? Their lower leg bones correspond to the bones of our human foot, and the joint that is at “knee height” corresponds to our ankle. Although a deer’s front “knee” corresponds to our wrist, it looks more normal to us, because it bends in the same direction as our knees.

As we travel up their legs, the adaptations continue. Deer lack a collarbone at the top of their front legs.

This means that their left and right shoulders can pivot independently.

With rear legs providing thrust and front legs steering, deer hit speeds of up to 36 miles per hour and turn on a dime.

To my consternation, deer don’t always use their speed, though.

Sometimes they just stand in the middle of the road, looking confused.

If your headlights are on, their eyes will shine. That’s the tapetum lucidum, a reflective layer in the back of their eyes that improves night vision.

Despite this layer, eyesight is not a deer’s most important sense. Deer ears are incredibly powerful, and like their front legs, can move independently of each other. By turning their ears this way and that, deer can hear sounds

from behind them, and also pinpoint where sounds are coming from.

I love sharing this adaptation with kids. We all put on our “deer ears” by cupping our hands behind our ears.

Their eyes widen in amazement as the sound of my voice is amplified. Then we start changing the way our cupped hands face, and noises from the back or the side suddenly come into focus.

But hearing alone is often not enough for deer to identify danger.

That’s where smell comes in. Once they catch a whiff of a human or a wolf on the breeze, those ligaments start springing.

Of course, deer didn’t develop these amazing adaptations to avoid getting hit by cars. It is their role as a prey animal that honed their skills. It might surprise you to learn that vehicles and wolves kill roughly the same number of deer in Wisconsin each year. Hunters, on the other hand, kill almost ten times as many deer as wolves do.

Hunting is an important population management tool that can reduce deer/ vehicle collisions and put free-range meat on our tables.

Another kind of quarantine Dear EarthTalk: Where I live in Southeast Michigan, an invasive insect called the Emerald Ash Borer is wreaking havoc on our forests. Are other parts of the country dealing with this pest or others that are killing large numbers of trees? – John D., Sterling Heights, MI In a growing number of U.S. states, residents have been dealing with a different kind of quarantine that began back in the early 2000s and continues on today. But this one involves wood, not people, and the perpetrator is a beetle, not a virus.

The problem started in 2002 when the Emerald ash borer, an exotic green beetle that probably hitched a ride to the U.S. with wood materials from Asia, began decimating ash forests in Michigan. Since then, this little invader has killed hundreds of millions of ash trees across 35 U.S. states and five Canadian provinces.

Ecosystems where these ash trees play a pivotal role are decimated, while forest products industries and property owners in these areas are also worse off. And wood coming out of affected regions is being quarantined to make sure it isn’t harboring the invasive pest

before being shipped out to other parts of the country or world.

While the Emerald ash borer is found almost exclusively on ash trees, several other invasive bugs are also plaguing other types of forests across the continent. Asian long-horned beetles, Spotted lanternflies, Banded elm bark beetles, Brown spruce longhorned beetles, Common pine shoot beetles and European oak bark beetles are just a few of the bugs preying on our native forests.

A new Asian gypsy moth strain is another emerging threat to U.S. coastal forests.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) warns, “If established in the United States, Asian gypsy moths could cause serious, widespread damage to our country’s landscape and natural resources.”

In May 2020, Washington governor Jay Inslee issued an emergency order in response to the infestation. These moths have wrought havoc before, and scientists have offset infestations using a special kind of moss on different East Coast strains. Hopefully similar measures are that a measure can counteract impacts on the West coast soon as well.

There are many factors driving the

EARTH TALK DOUG MOSS

spread and growth of harmful species to trees in North America. Clothing imported from China, wood brought from Canada, sugar transported from Brazil, and much else of what we consume here that comes from abroad brings with it the transport of species, whether on purpose or by accident, with potentially catastrophic effects.

Climate change is also a factor.

Insects live in specific environments based on weather, and their ranges expand and breeding seasons increase as global temperatures rise. Mountain pine beetle numbers, for example, have grown rapidly in recent decades due to the warming climate.

Cold winters that usually drive beetles to hibernate, protecting pine forests for a spell, are growing shorter. Beetles can now complete two reproductive cycles in the expanded warm seasons, leading to increased tree mortality in affected regions. If warming continues at the current rate, trees won’t be able to adapt fast enough to survive.

There’s not much individuals can do to prevent the spread of invasive tree pests except by buying wood products produced by local logging operations or wood lots. Likewise, procure firewood from local sources, as many pests hitchhike into new terrain on firewood in back of the family station wagon.

East-Cloquet battle is highlight of dreary football

It looked like instant replays as Orvedahl ran 21 times for a whopping 275 yards, and East needed all his scoring to win. Photos by John Gilbert.

If you can read this before Thursday night, run, don’t walk, to your bigscreen television to watch Arizona play Seattle in an NFL game that will determine the best team in the West, and will also put on display the two most exciting quarterbacks in the league — Russell Wilson of the faltering Seahawks and Kyler Murray of the Arizona Cardinals.

Murray might be the league’s MVP, an honor Wilson appeared to have cinched until he started a rash of turnovers that, combined with the Seahawks leaky defense, has meant three losses in the last four games. Murray, meanwhile, pulled off the most amazing finish as the Cardinals beat Buffalo in Glendale, Arizona, with a 43-yard bomb to DeAndre Hopkins, who out jumped the three Bills who surrounded him and caught the desperation finale with 2

seconds remaining for a 32-30 Arizona victory.

That leaves both Arizona and Seattle tied with the Los Angeles Rams at 6-3.

And it removed the bad taste left by most of last weekend’s array of games.

In Minnesota, we’re suffering. The Vikings beat a Chicago Bears team that proved totally inept on offense right there in Soldier Field, in a Monday night game that was mostly a waste of time. The Bears stuffed Dalvin Cook, and luckily Adam Thielen — who amazingly muffed two passes that turned the ball over and kept the Bears in the contest — caught two touchdown passes from Kirk Cousins.

That game was like a continuation of the way the Gophers played against Iowa in a 35-7 loss that wasn’t as close as the score indicated. Minnesota quarterback Tanner Morgan had

SPORTS JOHN GILBERT

an awful day, and the Hawkeyes dominated the scoreboard.

Then there were the Green Bay Packers, who got what cynics call a couple or three Aaron Rodgers breaks from the officials, and needed all of them to overcome Jacksonville 24-20.

The Jaguars lost their eighth straight game and are 1-8. But the Jags also got quite spectacular play by rookie quarterback Jake Luton. And twice Jacksonville scored touchdowns, only to have a flag appear and penalties nullify the touchdowns. Video replay on both showed there was no foul. The Jaguars scored after the first one, but the second would have won the game for them, but they couldn’t get it back.

Fortunately for those of us who enjoy good football games, we had Detroit following Matthew Stafford to the finish, when Matt Prater kicked a 59-yard field goal as time expired to give the Lions a 30-27 victory over Washington. And the best game of all came when Arizona went back

and forth with Buffalo. Murray, who might be the best quarterback playing right now, is for sure the most exciting runner in the NFL. With apologies to Cook, who was throttled by the Bears, Kyler Murray ran for two touchdowns, and his quick, darting moves are an NFL highlight.

But you didn’t need college or pro football to see a stirring performance.

Duluth East, eliminated from taking its 5-1 record into any playoffs because of Coronavirus shutdowns, beat Cloquet 27-22 in a game moved from Cloquet to Ordean Field, with Cloquet serving as home team on the artificial turf at Duluth East. While East won its fifth straight game, Cloquet lost its third straight to go 3-3. But the Lumberjacks had their moments worth pride as well, with an emotional second-half rally.

What undid the Lumberjacks was a quick, stocky little sophomore named Austan Orvedahl. He has tormented foes all season, but he was at his best against a Cloquet team that knew of

44 November 19, 2020 DuluthReader.com

him and focused on pounding him.

Orvedahl carried the ball 21 times for an amazing 275 yards. The first half turned into a predictable drama where Cloquet would battle and get in position, but East was start from their half of the field, and quarterback Dean Hudoba would give the ball to Orvedahl and send him around end.

He would turn the corner and run 50-some yards, over and over again.

He had something over 200 yards by halftime, when East led 20-0.

Normally, Orvedahl alternates electrifying runs with Jason DeBeir, who scored the first touchdown of the game, then turned the offense over to his teammate. Orvedahl scored on a 53-yard dash, then on a 28-yarder after a longer run was called back by a holding penalty. Both Orvedahl and DeBeir played spirited defense for East, too. DeBeir made a phenomenal play when he went into full sprint to run down a Lumberjack to save a touchdown in the third quarter, and even though Alec Turnbull threw a touchdown pass to get the Lumberjacks on the board, Orvedahl came right back, winding up wi his third touchdown on a short plunge to make it 27-6 for the Hounds.

But Alex Peterson took the ensuing kickoff and raced 92 yards for a Cloquet touchdown that made it interesting, at 27-14. It got more interesting when the Lumberjacks executed an onside kick better than any pro or college team I’ve seen try it this season, and they recovered to instill more life into the Cloquet bench. The Jacks slammed through the East defense, which had clearly lost the handle on the game’s momentum.

Marshall Hayes, who caught the earlier TD pass, scored on a fourth-down plunge through heavy congestion in the last half-minute. Another onside kick try didn’t work, and while the Lumberjacks had an uplifting finish, the Greyhounds ran through 6 inches of snow that surrounded the playing surface to get to the grandstand and celebrate with the small cluster of fans who were well-entertained by the game.

UMD Women open WCHA The UMD women’s hockey team is in a familiar position. Picked to finish fourth in the Bemidji, MSU Mankato and St. Cloud State, but are still ranked behind Wisconsin, Minnesota and

The field was encased in 6-8 inches of snow, and the East team ran through the snow for a post-game celebration.

Ohio State. The Bulldogs have Swedish senior Emma Sorenson to replace Maddie Rooney in goal, and Gabbie Hughes will ignite the offense. The lanky junior center has proven herself an effective scorer for two seasons, scoring 20 goals, 31 assists for 51 points last season. Ashton Bell, who has turned into a point machine since converting to defense, was picked on the preseason all-WCHA projection.

Interesting that the three Big Ten teams are ranked 1-2-3, with perennial co-favorites Wisconsin and Minnesota and defending WCHA playoff champ Ohio State, while the three NSIC teams are the bottom three in projections.

UMD, also in the NSIC, will attempt to stay ahead of the bottom group while trying to return to the glory days of a decade ago when the Bulldogs formed a favored triumvirate with Minnesota and Wisconsin.

Coach Maura Crowell said on the league conference call Tuesday that returning scorers and added depth, plus some impressive freshmen, could make the Bulldogs a candidate to move up.

What’s best pain relief for fever?

Q: My dad was a pharmacist, yet as a kid I don’t recall taking a lot of medicines, like cough syrup. We did use Vicks VapoRub and take vitamin C for colds.

I’ve seen debates on giving ibuprofen or Tylenol to reduce fever. Sometimes doctors leave comments on your website advising people to let a fever run its course. Does that hold for everyone or just for adults? A lot of parents I know give their young

children medicines to knock down every fever.

A: A fever is often the body’s response to infection.

That’s why many physicians now believe that a mild fever does not require medication. Parents should measure a child’s temperature and check in with a pediatrician if it goes over 102 F.

A recent study in JAMA Network Open (Oct. 30, 2020) analyzed trials of acetaminophen compared with ibuprofen to treat fever in kids under 2. The authors concluded that both drugs are relatively safe, and that ibuprofen is slightly more effective for both fever and pain.

Q: I have been taking statins for maybe 20 years. The past four years, it’s been atorvastatin, with an increased dose (40 mg) over the past two.

Recently the doctor diagnosed me with peripheral neuropathy.

I am not diabetic nor deficient in any vitamin, including vitamin B. Is it possible that atorvastatin is

PEOPLE’S PHARMACY

JOE & TERESA GRAEDON

Since 1991

the cause of my neuropathy?

A: Nerve damage leading to numbness, pain or weakness remains a controversial statin side effect. The official prescribing information for atorvastatin (Lipitor) lists peripheral neuropathy under the category “postmarketing experience.” In other words, this symptom was not detected in the original clinical trials used for Food and Drug Administration approval.

It was reported to the agency by patients and health care providers voluntarily, which is why the FDA says it could not “establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.”

Researchers have noted, however, that statins have been linked to neuropathy (American Journal of Cardiovascular Drugs, Vol. 8, No. 6, 2008). Cardiologists maintain that there is “no convincing evidence for a causal relationship.” On the other hand, neurologists suspect that statins increase the risk for peripheral neuropathy (Pain and Therapy, Feb. 4, 2020).

Q: I’m a 49-year-old male who

leads a healthy life. I saw my doctor to address a lack of energy and feelings of depression. Six months ago, I started following a vegan diet. I consider myself wellinformed and felt I was eating a balanced. healthy diet.

The blood results showed everything was fine except for thyroid markers. I was immediately put on a low dose of levothyroxine and sent for a second round of blood tests. My levothyroxine dosage has been raised, but I’m feeling absolutely no different from before. I read that iodine deficiency could contribute to thyroid problems.

Could six months of veganism have caused this situation?

A: German scientists have studied nutritional differences between vegans and nonvegans (Deutsches Arzteblatt, Aug. 31, 2020). Somewhat to their surprise, they found that most vegans had adequate vitamin B12 levels, although they consumed very little in their diet.

On the other hand, approximately one-third were deficient in iodine.

Mammograms save lives!

Former First Lady Nancy Reagan was 66 years old when she underwent a unilateral mastectomy to remove an early adenocarcinoma.

According to The New York Times, “The cancer, seven millimeters in diameter, was about the smallest doctors can detect on a mammogram.” In the years that followed, she was dedicated to promoting routine mammograms for women, even later in life.

Recently, however, experts have questioned whether the benefits of mammography outweigh the risks of overtreatment for older women. Twentyeight percent of women ages 65 to 74 skip the diagnostic scan, while 44% of those over 75 do. That may not be smart.

Now, a new Swedish study that analyzed data on thousands of cases of breast cancer has found that breast cancer death rates are 27% lower in women 70 to 74 who opt to continue routine mammography compared to those who stop at age 69.

Here in the states, the United State Preventive Services Task Force recommends screening mammography every two years for women 50 to 74 years old. That’s because if you are at average risk for breast cancer, those are the years the screening offers the most benefits, especially if you’re in good health.

Older than that?

Today, women on average live to 81, so you still have a lot of living to do! Getting mammography regularly increases the chance of detecting breast cancer early when, even late in life, it is treatable or curable.

So talk with your doctor about your individual situation. *** It’s hard to believe that even today some folks think washing a kid’s mouth out with soap for sassing off is a good idea. The American Academy of Pediatrics considers it a form of child abuse. But as recently as this year, a Florida teacher was suspended after she declared a talkative student needed to be punished like that and proceeded to put hand sanitizer (the modern version) into his mouth.

In contrast, using mouthwash to rinse your mouth – voluntarily –

can be a healthy step, according to a study in the Journal of Medical Virology. It KO’s the virus that causes COVID-19.

Researchers tested a wide range of mouthwashes, such as Crest Pro Health (active ingredient cetylpyridium chloride – safe and effective but shouldn’t be used for more than seven days according to a 1994 FDA report) and Listerine Antiseptic (active ingredients eucalyptol, menthol, methyl salicylate and thymol).

They also looked at hydrogen-peroxide-based mouthwashes. They found Crest Pro Health killed off at least 99.9% of the virus in the mouth; Listerine Antiseptic killed more than 99.99% and peroxide brands knocked out slightly less.

Overall, the researchers say, “Most of the common over-the-counter mouthwashes/gargles tested demonstrated at least a 90% reduction in infectious virus at one minute of contact time.” And the longer you rinse the more KO power they have.

So if you’re looking to make sure you’re doing all you can to keep COVID-19 at bay, here’s one more effective technique to complement mask wearing and social distancing. *** The importance of saying nay to NSAIDS when pregnant A lab study out of Sweden indicates our brains are wired to make us contrarians. The researchers found that when it comes to choosing between go and no-go, we’re more inclined to just say “nay.”

That’ll come in handy for pregnant women who get a headache or sore muscles and need to pass on taking an NSAID for pain relief.

The FDA has revised it warnings to pregnant women about taking drugs such as aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, diclofenac and celecoxib.

The watchdog says to limit use of NSAIDs between weeks 20 to 30 and to avoid NSAIDs entirely after 30 weeks. (Low-dose 81mg aspirin isn’t included in this advisory.)

That’s because NSAIDs are associated with fetal kidney problems that can lead to low levels of amniotic fluid, which can in turn trigger complications such as limb contrac-

HEALTH DRS. OZ & ROIZEN

tures and delayed lung maturation, as well as damage to fetal blood flow.

What about earlier in pregnancy?

A study in the American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology found using NSAIDs around conception quadrupled the risk of early miscarriage.

So what should you do for pain during pregnancy?

• Exercise: Work with your doc/ exercise therapist to create an individualized routine.

• Adopt relaxation techniques: One study found combining meditation and yoga eases lower back pain more effectively than drugs or surgery.

• Eat a non-inflammatory diet: no added sugars, syrups, simple carbs or red meat, and get plenty of olive oil.

• Use heat and cold packs: Heat increases blood flow to stiff joints and muscles; cold reduces inflammation and swelling.

Cosmic prescription for opposition Innovation happens when people are not afraid to fail. Where expectations are high and specific, there is no room to make the mistakes you need to make to innovate. What’s needed under this Mercury and Uranus opposition is a creative solution. It will be born out of a culture that has a built-in tolerance (a celebration even) of failure.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You’ll be assembling a team. Your best bet is a flexible leader. The one who is unconcerned with the outcome should not be put in charge, and neither should the one who is overly concerned.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Yes doesn’t always mean that you agree to a thing. Sometimes it just means that you like and affirm someone. You can say yes to a person and say no to what they want from you in a moment.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21): From a very young age, the way you perceived things was molded by the world and by the people closest to you.

Now that you’re older, you can have more control over your perceptions by willfully deciding to see things differently.

CANCER (June 22-July 22): You’ve been burned in the past by the sort of “help” that costs more time, money and attention than doing it yourself.

Today is different. Life will be easier and more joyous when you let qualified people help you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The conversations that spring from stress can be less-than-helpful. You’ll notice what’s going on in your body so you can recognize when you’re stressed and take measures to calm and soothe yourself.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Some interrupt mindlessly because they suddenly feel like expressing themselves regardless of what else is happening. You may have cause to interrupt today, but it will only be to serve the greater good of all involved.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Thinking in terms of gains and losses is shortsighted. Instead, figure out which moves are effective and which are ineffective and adjust your strategy accordingly.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Your line of questioning proves that you are paying attention to someone’s life. Do avoid getting boxed in by conversation that’s so specific it doesn’t leave room for the bigger news you don’t know to ask about yet.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): There’s a moment in your sights, and you cannot help but approach with eager anticipation. Just don’t let that rob you of the gifts of today – a day that you will, in time, come to be nostalgic about.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): There are times to strive for self-sufficiency, but this isn’t one of them. It’s teamwork that will get you to the next place. There are true equals around who would love to be a part of what you’re doing.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In the early stages of a project, it was appropriate to cast a wide net to see what you could drag back to your realm. Now, you’re ready for strategic action. Brainpower is strong. Planning will take hours and be so worth it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): What’s important isn’t whether or not you get what you want from the end of a project. The important part is really just finishing. Doing what you tell yourself you’re going to do accomplishes something essential.

COSMIC QUESTION: “I have a twin sister who has recently lost 80 pounds, is doing great at work and has a new boyfriend. This success cycle seems to have skipped me. How could it? We were born on the same day!

What gives? My personal opinion is that in the prenatal split that created two babies, she somehow got all the willpower and I got all the sensitivity, which is a nice way of saying that I got all the crazy. We are Pisces.”

Just because your sister and you share much of the same natal chart information doesn’t mean you’ll have the same kind of success and/or destiny. Success comes in many forms, and destiny doesn’t happen on its own. It requires your participation!

Fear not, dear Pisces. You are not completely without willpower. It’s just that managing sensitivity takes

Lorne Michaels self-control and uses up some of the willpower you might like to have applied in other directions. Sensitive people like you are more likely to be stressed by things other people don’t even notice, and stress is a main predator of willpower. So before you beat yourself up, look at your life and determine how you might eliminate some of the main stressors in your current situation.

Think of your willpower as a powerful potion in a bottle.

Awakening from a restful night, your bottle is filled to the top. As your day

progresses, everything that requires mental and emotional energy requires a few drops of your potion. Navigating traffic, answering to the boss, arguing with a loved one, reading instructions, saying the right thing to a client, shopping, tending to a friend’s needs, solving a technical glitch — all of these things use drops of your willpower. Stress tips the willpower bottle upside-down. So does getting upset, hungry or hurt.

Highly sensitive people may find the experience of processing intense feelings or engaging in deep thought processes uses many drops. Also, sensitive people spend more energy holding emotions at bay than other people do, knowing that if they showed the full range of their feelings, then it might be socially off-putting.

After expending all of their willpower on acting appropriately, they are more likely to indulge in the behaviors that make them feel comfort, pleasure or numbness. More tomorrow.

Duluth musician chosen for Hope Rises Superstar panel of folk musicians chose 15 tunes from activist artists Duluth folk musician Sara Thomsen has heard it before: “We had all this music for social change in the ‘60s and ‘70s and now there’s nothing.”

“I’m like, What are you talking about? It’s everywhere. It’s everywhere, but you have to go looking for it,” she said in a recent Zoom conversation with The Reader and legendary folk artist/activist Noel Paul Stookey of Peter, Paul & Mary.

The call was to talk about the new album Hope Rises: Bold Tunes from Activist ” Artists, which Stookey coproduced, and which closes with a Thomsen song, “Water of Life.” “ I just feel so honored to be a part of it and to be a part of such a diverse collection of styles and things people are singing about,” Thomsen said, adding it is a direct answer to those who feel the need for some activist music.

In the year 2000, Stookey and his daughter, Elizabeth Stookey Sunde, founded Music to Life as a means to help illuminate and spread the longtime collaboration between music and social movements. Hope Rises is the organization’s first major release.

The project began by inviting activist musicians from around the country to submit songs for possible inclusion on an album devoted to activism.

The key to being selected, Stookey said, is really walking the walk of activism. Then a review panel was assembled to choose a handful of emerging social change artists among the 200 submissions.

The superstar panel included Stookey’s bandmate Peter Yarrow, as well as Eliza Gilkyson, Janis Ian, Kathy Mattea, Deidre McCalla, SaulPaul and Tom Paxton.

“Essentially what happened with this Hope Rises album, we went through 200 applicants,” Stookey said. “I think the bottom line in the decision-making in this case was, do these people who have submitted these songs live the life in many ways or are symbolic of the

Thomsen

Stookey

representation of the message they bring in their songs, or is this a peripheral experience in them? To a large extent, I think the values expressed in the album are lived by the artists who sing of these values.”

In Thomsen’s case, Stookey notes the name of the choir she formed, Echoes of Peace, and “if Sara knew just how broad that title would apply?”

And the song chosen to end Hopes Rises is a song Thomsen wrote driving back from what she describes as “the heroic stand” of indigenous people and supporters from around the world protesting the Dakota Access Pipeline at Standing Rock Indian Reservation.

“That song came on my car ride driving home,” she said. “The morning I left I was rolling up my stuff in the tent, and there was a meadowlark that sang. It felt like it was right outside my tent. I heard a voice in my hear say ‘Be a lark from the meadow. Be a lark from this meadow.’ It really felt like a commission of sorts. On the drive home, that song came. Songwriters talk about times when you feel like you just catch a song. Our antenna was up and we caught it, and who we are goes into that song. But it really was trying to express what I felt at that point in time.”

Thomsen said the song was inspired by people standing up for each other, how people have to take a stand together for action.

The song “Water Is Life” kicked off Thomsen’s 2019 release Song Like a Seed. On Hope Rises, “Water of Life” closes the collection of 15 tunes.

“I sequenced it and I just shined on Sara,” Stookey said.” With all of the edginess of the other songs, hers came like a peaceful, inclusive, warm embrace. It was definitely needed.”

And that is not to imply that these are all songs of dark protest. As the title implies, first there is “hope,” or as Raye Zaragoza wistfully sings in her song

“American Dream,” “Hate can’t be the face of the American dream.”

“Historically, if we go back to folk music’s arrival in the popular music scene, I suppose you could say the seeds had already been planted by Woody (Guthrie) and Pete (Seeger) and Cisco (Huston) and Josh (White) for making contemporary comment on the mutually held concerns of America,” Stookey said about the genesis of Hope Rises. “Flash forward some 70 years and we are at a point where technology can aid and abet that same conception and that same degree of inclusion between such varied communities. As you can tell when you turn on your radio dial now, there is such a broad mix of musical styles and genres that you begin to look for the commonality not so much in the music as in the message. I think that’s what Sara and the other musicians on Hope Rises have been able to accomplish. Because there is a constancy of caring, and, man, oh, man, I don’t know what your political leanings were or have been, but I think there’s always room in the human condition for the kind of healing and connection of heart that Hope Rises and Music for Life offers and that Sara and 14 other participants on this album extend in their connection with community.”

So was there any signifcance to the album’s release coming so close to the

dark cloud of Trump being lifted from the country?

“Total serendipity,” Stookey said, however, he added, “This has been building for a long time. The songs that are on it are not resentful so much as they are hopeful.”

He said listeners will also find in the music “a historic sense of what’s good and what’s overdue.”

“There’s something in there for everyone,” Thomsen said of the recording. “All that came to light in these past four years is not new to this country, but there’s more focus. Rekindle the spark. Keep moving forward on everything we’ve been working on.”

Hope Rises is available on multiple platforms including CD Baby, Spotify, Apple and Amazon Music via https:// hoperises.hearnow.com.

Music to Life is a national nonprofit that empowers local musicians to become champions for change in the areas of civil rights, climate advocacy, poverty and health.

Clean travel: How do you know if things are sanitized?

As the pandemic wears on, here’s something driving travelers a little nuts: How can you tell if your airline seat, hotel room or rental car is clean?

Is there any way to know, objectively, if you’re having a clean travel experience?

That’s what Chip Bell wanted to know when he checked into a Hilton hotel in Midtown Manhattan recently.

Everything looked clean.

But was it?

“The valet was wearing a face mask and gloves,” he said. “The front desk had a large dispenser of hand sanitizer accessible to guests. The front desk person, behind protective plexiglass, told me there would be a seal on my guest room door certifying it had been cleaned.”

Bell, a customer loyalty consultant and author who lives in Atlanta, had his doubts.

“There was no guarantee or Good Housekeeping seal,” he said. “It is a reminder that customers judge their service experiences in their own irrational, illogical and completely human ways.”

That’s the thing about clean travel.

The travel industry may insist that there are ways to tell whether your airline seat, hotel room or rental car is safe. But it comes down to taking someone’s word for it. There are solutions, but they’re either impractical or pricey. All of which leaves travelers with few choices on their next trip.

No such thing as clean travel?

Travel companies are trying to assure customers that their products are safe and healthy in two ways. First, they have announced sweeping initiatives to sanitize their rooms and cabins.

For example, Hilton teamed up with the makers of Lysol and Dettol to create the CleanStay program. The hotel chain promises to thoroughly clean and sanitize its rooms and public areas.

And second, the companies place

TRAVEL

CHRISTOPHER ELLIOTT

DuluthReader.com

seals on cleaned areas. At Hilton properties, there’s a sticker on the door to indicate that a room has been sanitized and inspected. Seals are not new to the travel industry. In hotels, a paper ring on the toilet is supposed to signify that it’s been cleaned by the housekeeping staff. But some guests don’t believe it, and for good reason.

“I would not trust a seal,” says Beverly Byrum, a nurse from Louisville.

Byrum recalls stories that an acquaintance, who works for a hotel, told her. The acquaintance said her housekeeping staff sometimes takes shortcuts to save time. One of them will place that paper ring on the toilet even if it hasn’t been cleaned.

“How would I know that wasn’t happening with a room seal?” Byrum asks.

Companies are trying to restore some of that lost confidence, when it comes to clean travel.

“Most of the seals that companies are putting on hotel rooms and cars are not actually a verification that the cleaning has been audited,” says Peter Clark, the marketing director for Tulu, a company that offers businesses a way to digitally audit cleaning services by recording the process.

Tulu – which is used by Thrifty Car Rental and Uber – provides a purple decal with a QR code, a type of bar code, as proof that an area is clean and healthy. The QR code can be scanned

with a smartphone to get a page that shows the vehicle being cleaned. (By the way, there are other ways to tell if your rental car is clean.)

Of course, if you’re a germaphobe, you probably already pack a black light in your bag. The ultraviolet waves can show dirt that is invisible to the naked eye.

“They will tell you when something isn’t clean,” says Ty Rosa, a cleaning expert who has a popular Instagram account called The Sparkling Clean Home. “But they will not tell you when something is sanitized, which can’t really be seen.”

Interestingly, UV light also can disinfect surfaces. And at YOTEL Boston, guests can pay an extra $30 to have their rooms cleaned with a UV-equipped robot called Vi-YO-Let. The fully autonomous robot disinfects all surfaces and the air in the room in about 20 minutes, “providing a fully comprehensive infection prevention solution,” according to the hotel.

Still no perfect solution for clean travel But how do you know whether Vi-YO-Let has radiated your room?

And how do you know whether the disinfecting UV rays have reached every nook and cranny of your room, under the beds and in bathrooms? You have to trust the hotel.

The problem is that the travel industry routinely misleads its

customers. Travelers have become disenchanted by such things as hotels’ poorly disclosed, mandatory resort fees and “free” airline miles that come with hefty purchase requirements. They almost expect travel companies to play fast and loose.

Consider what happened to Michael Horowicz, a TV producer from Los Angeles. He flew to D.C. recently on an airline with a sterling reputation for cleanliness. Horowicz requested that I not name the airline for fear of losing his frequent flier miles. Before he checked in, he watched the pilot board the plane wearing a mask over part of his mouth, but not his nose.

“What kind of example is he setting for passengers?” he asks.

It’s precisely that kind of attitude — pervasive in the travel industry — that gives travelers pause. Misrepresenting the facts about prices or product features is one thing. But when it comes to health and sanitation, it’s quite another.

Travelers need a way to verify the cleanliness of a product. Unfortunately, there’s no such thing. And so they have two choices if they want to stay safe.

They can either clean it themselves, or they can stay home.

Christopher Elliott is the author of numerous books on consumer advocacy and writes weekly columns for several media outlets.

Science 101 Being the modest sort, I have never claimed to be a scientific genius, although I do bear a striking resemblance to Albert Einstein when I forget to brush my hair in the morning. I did, however, spend most of my career in a sciency place, so I feel it is my duty to inform you of the latest scientific discoveries. I am able to do this because I am a subscriber to “Science News,” a fine magazine which reports on every scientific discipline, while covering nothing in depth unless it involves a bathysphere.

The first little tidbit is that scientists now believe that Planet X, previously theorized as a Neptune-size planet beyond Pluto, is actually a grapefruitsized, invisible black hole. This is a great excuse for their being unable to find it. I use a similar excuse when I can’t find my car keys.

Which reminds me of a lesson I

learned from Harry Potter: If you’re going to wear your Invisibility Cloak, make sure it covers your shoes. It is common knowledge, based on many syfy films, that a large black hole, swallowing stars and planets, is accompanied by brilliant flashes of light and ominous music (heavy on the bass), which is the cosmic equivalent of Harry’s shoes. The fruity black hole, being so much smaller, probably emits firefly level flashes of light and tinker bell music.

As soon as they find it, they will be sending up an iPhone and earbuds to monitor that.

Another bit of news comes from either the field of zoology or physiology, I am not sure which. It regards an Ostrocod, a tiny crustacean which is said to resemble a seed with legs. The remarkable thing about it is that it has a sperm which is three times

longer than its body. In a microscopic view, it resembles one of your cat’s hairballs.

“Ewww,” I can hear you saying.

“What kind of scientist would be unrolling that to measure it?” Ha, ha. Of course, a scientist would not be doing that! He would get his technician to do it.

The Ostrocod’s a little cutie, Stepping out in search of booty.

When he finds her, little nimrod Shoots his sperm out like a spin rod.

Sets the hook and reels her in, Takes her for a little spin.

When he’s got her warm and cozy, Then he’s done. It’s time to mosey.

My personal favorite crustaceans are daphnia, the water fleas. Daphnia love polluted water, and my tropical fish loved daphnia, which I was able to scoop out of the St. Louis River before the paper mill cleaned up its act. Cleaning up its act in this case was closing down their Sulfite Mill, the source of that sulfur dioxide aroma that Cloquet used to send to the Woodland neighborhood free of charge. A lovely young Duluth TV reporter stood on a

street corner in Cloquet and identified the smell as carbon monoxide, a totally odorless gas that would have killed her on the spot. Luckily, she was VERY good looking and landed a job in the Twin Cities before the CO cloud could come down on her.

GOOD NEWS: We did NOT kill off the woolly rhinoceros.

BAD NEWS: They’re still all dead.

NEWS UPDATE: The tortoise beetle larva has a telescoping anus. It puts a shield made from its excrement on it and uses it to fend off other insects.

It doesn’t work, of course, if it’s a fly looking for a turd.

As part of my job, I was able to get some insight into the sex lives of pine trees and mushrooms, but for my introduction to ichthyology I had to rely on the dry goods clerk from Shopper’s City. The extent of her knowledge was how to scoop ‘em and how to bag ‘em, which is why I ended up owning an eel with a catfish in his mouth, after I had been assured that he ate fish food that drifted to the bottom. Fortunately, the catfish had his spines ready, so the eel had to spit him out, whereupon the catfish swam away whistling “Beautiful Dreamer”

and acting as though nothing had happened.

Male Dwarf Gouramis are beautifully colored fish who build bubble nests in which he entices the female to lay her eggs. The nest looked great to me, but I never could find a female Dwarf Gourami, and so neither could he. You took what you could get at Shopper’s City. Cichlids, I found, are attractive, ill-tempered fish that build their nests in the rocks. They generally hate plants because predators can hide in them, so they will rip them out even if they have no intention of building a nest. Another disturbing thing about Cichlids is that they have a nasty habit of taking chunks out of other fish that happen to pass by. They especially like the ones with fancy fins.

One of the most popular kinds of tropical fish are the live bearers, the Guppies, Swordtails and Mollies. A discussion of their sex life could get embarrassing, so I recommend that younger readers leave the room. I have, surprisingly enough, a relevant double dactyl type poem ready.

Ovoviviperous Cyprinodontidae Nymphomaniacally Service their broods.

Contradictorally Tetraodontidae Characteristically Act like true prudes.

I warned you. The first part is only true if you have plants for the little fry to hide in as they mature. Without the plants, you are more likely to observe cannibalism. I never caught Tetras having sex, but from the conditions they require to put them in the mood, their libidos are on a par with those of the Giant Pandas.

Epitaph for a Friend I saw an obituary for an old friend of mine the other day. It’s not a rare occurrence at my age, but this one was unusual in that I only knew it was her for sure when I saw her maiden name.

I’m sure she had forgotten my name years ago, and we would not have recognized each other if we passed on the street, but I remember her, because, once — many, many years ago — she kissed me. Her girlfriend kissed me, too. These were not romantic kisses — we were friends, and they were happy friend kisses, but they meant a lot to me then, and they still do.

About a year later, her girlfriend married a friend of mine, a guy who

DuluthReader.com

was more mature, and ready for the responsibility. They moved away, and although I saw her rarely, she was always glad to see me, and I know she remembered me until the day she died, which was much too soon.

I have only fond memories of these two beautiful girls. I hope my friend had a good life. I know that each girl took a small piece of my heart with them when they left.

Twin Ports Review of Media A person my age should be too dignified to be cracking up in his recliner. It’s downright unseemly, and I have to wonder if I’m losing it.

I was reading the late Terry Pratchett’s novel “Monk.” A young man goes to visit a wizard. “Is it possible,” he asks, “To walk through a wall?”

The wizard thinks about that for a moment. “Well,” he finally says, “I would choose a very thin wall to start, just to see how it goes.” Then, trying to be helpful, “Have you considered using a door? The one behind you is my personal favorite.”

Now I ask you, is that worth choking on your coffee? It’s still painful, and I’ve used up two tissues and a napkin.

There are two benchmark authors for people who write comic novels: Dave Barry and Douglas Adams. I’m not sure why, even though they both have cracked me up at times. Dave Barry is known for his observational columns, basically Jerry Seinfeld in print. Maybe women hit on famous columnists. I’m available, ladies.

Adams made his mark with “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.”

Volume 1 was hilarious, and volume 2 only slightly less so. It ended up being a trilogy in 5 volumes, which were, in my opinion, about two volumes too many. I suspect he was getting tired of it by volume 4, but by volume 5 he was sick to death of the characters and it was a disaster.

A guy named Eoin Colfer, mostly noted for his children’s books, tried to bring the characters back to life in a book called Vol. 6, “And Another Thing…” but it didn’t work for me.

Adams not only shut the barn door after the horse had left, but he tracked the horse down, shot it and left it for the wolves to eat. There is no going back from something like that.

I did enjoy the Dirk Gently book series, as well as the TV version, which only ran for two seasons, but clearly had a third season in mind when the resident network nitwits cancelled

it. While I am ranting about the TV network nitwits, I also would like to mention Wyatt Cenac’s series “People of Earth” which only made it through 20 episodes, but also was ready to go on. Clearly, network executives, who lack any sense of humor, had learned nothing from the debacle that was SNL when the reins were given to a humorless executive, who still refused to admit the error of his ways, and passed the buck flawlessly, as executives do. Any one with common sense would know he was incapable of running that show when he thought Norm McDonald wasn’t funny. I’m guessing he was hoping to get someone to replace him who was at the sophistication level of The Three Stooges, the last group that he had laughed at.

And now I’ve gone from books to TV. I suppose the only thing is to go on to funny songs. I used to really like Yogi Yorgesson’s lyrics from “Someone Spiked the Punch,” talking about Ingvald, the bridegroom: Ven I felt his hand, it vas cold and moist.

And his forehead vas colder and moister.

Den he opened vun eye, vitch looked to me Yust like a big blue oyster.

Weird Al, anyone?

NOTE: Terry Pratchett and Yogi Yorgesson are still dead and Al is still weird. I don’t give a crap about the network executives.

Are you ready to Rumble?

Native American Heritage month is great time to view documentary about Indian musical influence You know that great opening scene in Guardians of the Galaxy where Chris Pratt struts and abuses alien life forms through the film’s credits to Redbone’s “Come and Get Your Love”? The best thing about it? Who doesn’t want to strut when they hear that song with the magically rubbery sitar and bass lines?

Redbone, of course, is included in the movie Rumble: The Indians Who Rocked the World. Their segment includes a great clip from the 1970s late night music show Midnight Special, in which they perform the long version of “Come and Get Your Love” in native garb, starting the song with ancient tribal chant and dance.

There are so many surprising and uplifting moments throughout this 2017 documentary about Native American influence in the modern music scene – from jazz to folk and blues and pop and hard rock.

First we are introduced to Link Wray, the author of the visceral guitar sound

DVD REVIEW JIM LUNDSTROM

and song for which the film is named.

Wray, part Shawnee, grew up in a poor family in North Carolina where one of his relatives said, because of the influence of the Klan at that time, “You didn’t go around telling everybody you were Native American.”

Fellow musicians interviewed for the documentary describe Wray – because

We are told Wray invented the sound at a hop in 1957 when some of the kids in the audience asked him and the band to play a “stroll.” Instead, Wray came up with a rumble.

The song made it to the radio in 1958. Musician Taj Mahal recalls hearing the song come over his radio one night. “Here comes this sound that makes you levitate out of bed four feet,” he said. “What is he doing?

There is no sound like that nowhere on

Musicians featured in Rumble include, from left, Charley Patton, Mildred Bailey, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Jimi Hendrix, Redbone and Robbie Robertson. the air.”

And at the University of Michigan, an underclassman named James Osterberg heard “Rumble” over the airwaves on campus, and soon dropped out of college to become Iggy Pop. “’Rumble’ had the power to push me over the edge. It did help me say, fuck it, I’m going to be a musician.”

“The sound of his guitar embodied all my aspirations. It was the sound of freedom,” said MC5 guitarist Wayne Kramer, who added that if any modern guitarist says they were not influenced

by Link Wray, they are lying.

“His influence was so immense.

Every musician in the world loves Link Wray,” said Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys. “I don’t know why the rest of the world hasn’t figured that out.”

“It changed everything,” said Robbie Robertson, a Mohawk. “‘Rumble’ made an indelible mark on the whole evolution of where rock ‘n’ roll was going to go. And then I found out that he was an Indian.”

And that’s just the first 13 minutes of the movie. From there we go from traditional music of southeast indigenous people forward through

time, and we learn of laws that prevented indigenous people from performing their music and the outlawing of drums.

“They went after every part of our culture, so of course they’re going to go after our music because it’s an integral part of our culture. They were songs of the old way,” said John Trudell, for whom the movie is dedicated. “It was genocide and they wanted to erase every cultural perception of reality we have.”

Then we take a trip to New Orleans, where the mix of Native Americans and African Americans is so much a part of the culture and musical gumbo. The case is made for Native American music serving as “pre-blues” or the roots of what would become blues music.

We learn of Mississippi Delta blues musician Charliy Patton, a Choctaw, much admired by musicians such as Keith Richards and Bob Dylan, and considered by many to be the “grandfather” of Delta blues. Several musicians note that Patton played his guitar like a drum, and he had to because drums were illegal for Indians to own.

Native American musician Pura Fe, while listening to Patton’s music, says, “It connects me right back to where I come from. I can hear all those old traditional songs. Do you hear it?

That’s Indian music, with a guitar.

That’s where it went. That’s where the traditional music went.”

We also hear from and about jazz singer Mildred Bailey, who is credited with sending jazz vocals into a new direction by using sliding vocal effects of her Coeur d’Alene background (she was also the first female band singer and the first female to have a radio show); Buffy Sainte-Marie and Peter LaFarge making their way at an important time in the folk scene;

Fun, artsy fashions that make you happy!

THIS STORY IS DEDICATED TO RICHIE PLASS I want to dedicate this story to my friend Richie Plass, who left this world at age 69 on Nov. 7. I forget how Richie and I first met, but I do recall I hired his Flying Feather Band to play an alternative Oktoberfest event that I threw in protest to a very large and well established Oktoberfest in a neighboring community. But I think I really got to know Richie listening to him on the northeastern Wisconsin public radio station Thursday nights when he was one of the two hosts of Kalihweyo’se (that’s “good message” in the Oneida language), a Native American music show. Richie’s great nature and humor shone through the airwaves, and when he was let go because the local producer was offended by his Indian sense of humor, I wrote a story for the newspaper I worked for at the time and that was picked up for reprint in a Native American newspaper. I was happy to help spread the word on Richie. He

DuluthReader.com

talked about starting his own radio show, but it never materialized. Instead, he threw himself into activism, educating on the misuse of Native American culture for advertising and sports branding. Two years ago this month, Richie and I presented a free showing of Rumble: The Indians Who Rocked the World at the magnificent new community center in the village where I lived at the time. I knew the new community center was looking for unique programming to show off their state-of-the-art video and sound system, so I pitched the idea to Richie, and then to my friends at the center. We set the date for the Friday after Thanksgiving, and had a good turnout, with quite a few people driving from as far away as Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and central Wisconsin because they knew Richie was involved. Richie represented well, and I’m so glad we teamed up to do that.

Jimi Hendrix being proud of his part Cherokee heritage; Robbie Robertson, a Mohawk, of The Band and Bob Dylan’s electric conversion; Jesse Ed Davis, a Kiowa guitarist who was much in demand with the British rock aristocracy after playing with Taj Mahal (that’s his bright, one-take guitar lead on Jackson Brown’s “Doctor, My Eyes”); on to Redbone, Apache guitarist Steve Salas who played with, among others, Goerge Clinton and Rod Stewart; and Pueblo/Apache heavy metal drummer Randy Castillo (Black Sabbath).

Rumble, released in 2017 and directed

by Catherine Bainbridge, is a must-see for any music fan.

Updating a Spider-Man spinoff Way back when a character named Frank Castle made his first appearance in the pages of The Amazing Spider-Man #129. Castle’s family was mowed down by the mob in New York City and he took it upon himself to “punish” all criminals from then on and he became – insert dramatic pause here – The Punisher.

The character developed a solid cult following with guest appearances in later issues of Spider-Man as well as Daredevil and he was eventually given his own five issue mini-series by Steven Grant and Mike Zeck in the ‘80s. A regular series followed a few years after that, as well as a spin off series or two and a goofy straight to video film starring Dolph Lundgren.

Since then series’ have been canceled, then rejuvenated and in 2004 Marvel injected the character with some much-needed fresh blood in the form of Preacher team Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon. The comics were back on track and thus, a new R-rated big screen adaptation was born in the form of Jonathan Hensleigh’s Thomas Jane vehicle.

Since this movie was made, it was topped by Lexi Alexander’s 2008 Punisher: War Zone and the 2018 Netflix series but even if this is a lesser take on the character, it’s still worth a watch.

In this incarnation, Frank Castle (Thomas Jane) is an undercover agent finishing his last job before he and his lovely wife and son are to go off to London to live happily ever after. When one of the hoods gets shot up and dies in the sting, Castle finds out the hard way that he was the son of a prominent businessman, Howard Saint (John Travolta).

Saint doesn’t take too kindly to the death of his son and decides to pay Castle back in spades by having his entire family killed during a party on the beach at his parent’s house.

His family’s death sends Castle into a downward spiral. He starts drinking heavily and becomes a man obsessed with vengeance. He uses his special forces training to trick out some weapons and build himself a small arsenal, which will come in handy when he begins to wage his one-man war on crime.

He moves into a run-down apartment and befriends three of the tenants there, then proceeds to take Saint and his small army of thugs

down a few pegs, proving that revenge truly is a dish best served cold.

There aren’t a whole lot of plot twists or deep, original characters in The Punisher. There aren’t any intricate, meaningful discussions on the reasons we’re all on this Earth and it doesn’t really break any new ground in any way whatsoever.

What it is though, is pure, unabashed entertainment. It’s a big budget B-movie that plays off like an old Spaghetti Western or ‘80s era action film that Bronson or Dudikoff would have made.

Thomas Jane even comes across with a bit of Eastwood in his performance, furthering the Spaghetti Western felt that this very urban action movie is permeated with, and that’s not a bad thing at all. It’s good brainless fun.

Despite some very obvious moments where the comic strays from the source material (what is Frank Castle doing in Miami?) the character does stay reasonably true to his comic book roots.

Jane does a great job as a tough man of few words, playing the strong and silent type with a bit of style and a whole lot of cool.

Travolta does a nice job as the heavy, going over the top as he’s prone to do in a few scenes that make him look and sound like a walking talking comic book villain.

Throw in some fun cameos and bit parts for the lovely and talented

Rebecca Romijn-Stamos (X-Men), Roy Scheider (Jaws), and even professional wrestler Kevin Nash and you’ve got a good cast that do a good job with the unashamedly popcorn material they have to work with.

Castle’s mission of vengeance is more or less a way to tie together a few different action set pieces in the film, giving the character a reason to kill.

Director John Hensleigh ensures that the movie trucks along at a quick pace and that the action scenes are the focal point of the film, but still manages to work a simple but effective story into the shoot-outs and explosions we all want to see.

Extras on this release are all carried over from the old DVD edition. First up is a commentary track from director John Hensleigh.

Lion’s Gate has whipped up four featurettes that detail the behind the scenes action and genesis of the film in quite a bit of detail.

War Journal: On The Set Of The

Punisher: Clocking in at almost half an hour, this in depth look at life on the set of the film is an interesting watch as it intersperses footage of shot setups and the like with cast and crew interviews. It takes a candid approach and comes across as a realistic feeling documentary look at what went on behind the camera during the making of the film.

Keepin’ It Real: The Punisher Stunts: The focus of this 27-minute piece is the scene where the Punisher’s car jumps over the bridge. This piece takes us through that stunt.

Army Of One: Punisher Origins: I found this 13-minute featurette to be the most enjoyable of the four segments.

As a longtime comic geek it was nice to see some of the guys who actually worked on the character get some props. Plenty of great comic art can be seen and it’s interesting to compare the character’s early appearances to the way he is portrayed in the film.

Hope floats in ‘Cat and the Canary’ One of Bob Hope’s first starring features, The Cat and the Canary (1939) uses his still-forming screen persona in ways that would subtly vanish within a few years, and his performance is slightly different also.

The story, already filmed before as a 1927 non-comic silent feature, is surprisingly atmospheric, even creepy at times, another pleasant surprise.

As a child I loved Bob Hope comedies yet, for reasons I can’t quite put my finger on, these days even his best films tend to disappoint while his worst films (pretty much everything after Road to Hong Kong particularly) are nearly unwatchable.

His delivery of comic dialogue and much of his physicality was peerless, and the films he made at Paramount and, sometimes, elsewhere, are generally slickly, even lavishly produced, but nowadays I often find them and him rather soulless nowadays, like Teflon.

But The Cat and the Canary is a treat all around, and Kino’s new Blu-ray looks great.

Attorney Crosby (George Zucco), the executor of Louisiana millionaire Cyrus Norman, is taken by canoe to Norman’s remote, dilapidated bayou mansion, tended the 10 years following Norman’s death by mysterious Miss Lu (Gale Sondergaard). At midnight Crosby shall read the dead man’s will, and soon various relatives arrive, hoping to claim his fortune.

They include Aunt Susan Tilbury (Elizabeth Patterson) and her companion, excitable Cicily Young (Nydia Westman); Fred Blythe (John Beal) and Charles Wilder (Douglass Montgomery), both keenly interested in Joyce Norman (Paulette Goddard); and Wally Campbell (Hope), a wisecracking actor and nephew of the late Mr. Norman.

The will is read, with Joyce inheriting Norman’s fortune.

However, the will also stipulates that the young heiress must not be declared insane within the next 30 days, or the fortune will be passed on to Norman’s second-choice, whose identity Crosby keeps in a sealed envelope.

cowardly and often driven by greed.

Here, refreshingly, he’s more a regular Joe, a kidder to be sure, but flesh and bone.

Absent are the in-jokes present in almost all Hope’s later Paramount features nor, Zucco’s coincidental character name aside, no references to later frequent co-star Bing Crosby.

Director Elliott Nugent (The Male Animal) keeps things moving at a good clip with no extraneous padding.

Equally good is both he, cinematographer Charles Lang, and art directors Hans Dreier and Robert Usher generate a palpable level of suspense and horror on par with the best “straight” horror films of the period.

Cinesavant reports that it’s likely gorilla man Charles Gemora created the makeup for “The Cat,” also very effective.

Licensed to Kino by Universal, keepers of the pre-1948 Paramount library, The Cat and the Canary looks terrific, its richly textured 1.37:1 standard, black-and-white image offering the kind of inky blacks that horror-comedies like this require.

The English DTS-HD (mono) audio is impressive for what it is, and optional English subtitles are provided on this Region “A” encoded disc.

Extra Features: Supplements are limited to a new audio commentary track by film historian Lee Gambin and a trailer.

Parting Thoughts: Many of Bob Hope’s comedies don’t hold up all that well, but The Cat and the Canary is just the ticket, and fun for the whole family. Highly Recommended.

All this suggests the others might try to murder or drive Joyce insane during the night.

Meanwhile, a security guard, Hendricks (John Wray) informs all that an insane murderer known only as “The Cat” has escaped from a nearby lunatic asylum, increasing tensions further.

Who will survive the night?

Hope gets top billing over Paulette Goddard, she, no doubt, brought into the project as insurance.

Prior to this, Hope had been billed second after Martha Raye on two pictures, and top-billed twice before over lesser name Shirley Ross, his co-star in Thanks for the Memory (1938), the movie that introduced his signature song.

The Cat and the Canary offered insurance of another sort, that property

already having been a successful Broadway play and the aforementioned 1927 film, the latter already remade once before as The Cat Creeps in 1930.

The brief running time, just 72 minutes, also hints this was something of a “nervous ‘A’” that, had it not turned out as well as it did, could quietly be slipped to the bottom of a double-bill.

In later years, Hope was on autopilot, filming TV specials, reading his monologues off cue cards, his slick comic delivery so set in stone by this point he could probably have done ‘em in his sleep.

In Canary, however, the pristine timing is almost there, yet somehow Hope comes off as a bit more human.

In nearly all his later starring films Hope was a leering skirt-chaser,

Quote of the week “The wind that makes music in November corn is in a hurry. The stalks hum, the loose husks whisk skyward in half-playing swirls, and the wind hurries on ... A tree tries to argue, bare limbs waving, but there is no detaining the wind.”

Aldo Leopold, author-conservationist Jan. 11, 1887 - April 21, 1948
