As of this writing (April 6), the Minnesota Dept. of Health’s situation report said there are 1,069 people who have tested positive for COVID-19, out of a total of 29,260 tests for the virus.

Of those who have tested positive, 34 had died as of April 6.

On the same date, Wisconsin was reporting 2,578 confirmed cases, with 92 deaths among them, and 28,512 negative test results.

Why mention the numbers when we are now printing every other week, and by the time some of you read this, the numbers will have changed, perhaps drastically if we suddenly hit the peak that everyone says is imminent?

We provide those numbers as a not very subtle way of pointing out that we are among the government-approved “essential” services.

Along with health care workers, truckers, law enforcement, grocery and liquor store employees, restaurant staff (at extremely reduced numbers), the news media must carry on with business as usual, as far as each individual business – and, yes, we are a business – can in these trying times.

How we differ from some of our essential colleagues who continue to work through this crisis, we are doing so with drastically reduced revenue since a large percentage of our advertisers are businesses that have

been forced to shut their doors – the arts and entertainment sector, for the most part.

As long as they are not doing business, our business suffers.

We have responded by getting leaner. We’ve reduced the number of pages we print and how often we print, going from a weekly to printing every other week. Although we are aggressively stocking about 100 locations with fresh Readers, you inevitably have fewer places to pick up a copy of the latest Reader for the time being We are also working hard to make our newspaper an indispensable part of the Northland experience with more local stories. more cartoons, more puzzles and games, and two weeks’ worth of TV guides.

But we must also face the reality of having bills to pay. With the loss in revenue comes a subsequent loss in the ability to survive without some help. Yes, we are looking at various governmental offers of financial loans for small businesses. But even that may not be enough, and we have no idea when any of that money will, in fact, be available. It’s costly to print a quality independent newspaper that’s totally free to its readers.

You can count on us to keep at it, but can we count on you? Can we count on your financial support directly to us, as well to our advertisers – those who are still operating and

those who will return when this nightmare has ended? Sadly, we were already the last locally owned media in Duluth, even before coronavirus arrived..

We draw some inspiration from the public radio model, wherein those who enjoy the programming help support it. We intend to work out expanded benefits for those who choose to support us, but frankly that is difficult today when most of our allies are closed down; and we are scrambling to simply get a newspaper out. To help us directly, we’ve created a donation page that you can reach via the website, DuluthReader.com, by donating with either a one-time gift or become a supporting member with a monthly donation.

Your financial support will help us get through these tough times when so much of our ad revenue disappeared overnight. For nearly a quarter-century, The Reader has depended on the support of other local small businesses as our primary source of income, to continue to bring you a free newspaper.

Our heartfelt thanks go to those who have already donated and to those who do so.

We all know they grow ’em tough up here in the Northland. This trial can only make us stronger.

in box It took downplaying one microbe When members of professional athletic teams are receiving Coronavirus tests ahead of our medical professionals on the front line, we need to ask how this could happen.

Cecilia Vega (Emmy award-winning ABC News anchor, and the network’s Senior White House Correspondent,) asked Trump directly if the wealthy sector are able to buy their way to testing, while others must wait. His response was “that’s the way life goes sometimes.”

She was so appalled by his snooty answer, and for his use of “the Chinese virus” moniker, that she addressed his entourage behind the podium, if they were all okay with him using that term.

Pence was there. He, and the rest, all had vacant, silent stares, as they filed out behind their “poster boy.”

Republicans are desperate to blame their embarrassing (and criminal) lack of readiness on others, but there can be no doubt that Trump eliminated the CDC office for pandemics, (among other things.) Now they want to quickly buy acceptance of our new hardship, through stimulus payouts, which we can be sure they’re salivating over right now.

It took downplaying one microbe for the “house of republican ineptitude” to damage or destroy our nation.

And to Trump supporters – do you get it yet? You can now have thoughts and prayers for supper.

Mark Pommier Hibbing, MN Income and wealth disparity In my Feb. 20th letter I advised Democratic voters not to let fear of losing to Pres. Trump cause them to fear voting for the bold, but needed, changes addressed in the Sanders and Warren campaigns. Since then the voters have spoken. And, whether out of fear or out of a perceived pragmatism,they have voted for Biden and the status quo.

The anxiety of the political moment has led them to hold on to what they have. They may be correct in thinking that “moderate” Biden will rid us of the Trump II night mare”,in that it will get

us through the night.But will it get us through the days and years ahead?

The issue of income and wealth disparity, caused by a rigged economy, continues to divide and weaken us.

Lack of access to affordable health care is bankrupting us individually, and nationally in global economic competition. Higher education debt is burdening an entire generation and depressing the economy. And long unaddressed issues of climate change pose an existential threat to the economic and political stability of democratic civilization itself.

Supporters of the Sanders and Warren campaigns that boldly address these critical issues may not be a majority, but they and their issues are a significant political force that must be heard and respected when the party convention writes its platform.

For the sake of party unity, the Biden supporters must welcome the Sanders and Warren voices into the campaign. The Democratic tent must be big enough for all its voices if Trump is to be defeated, in the Fall. And their critical issues must be addressed if Democrats are going to govern successfully when in office,if they want to stay-in office.

Larry A. Johnson Duluth MN “The Coronavirus Blues” You hurry grandmas and grandpas into cemeteries.

You close churches and get us on our knees.

You lay off the world, turn the tables on restaurants and bars.

You scare us into not wishing on a star.

You stampede the bulls up and down Wall Street.

You sideline sports and live, late night TV. You put the brakes on makin’ and buyin’ cars.

You war on earth like you’re an army from Mars.

You steal our “social distance” and skew the news.

You got us singin’ the Coronavirus blues.

Today, you’re the black cat crying that if we dare laugh you’ll cross our path, but, Fortunato, your fortunes will change when we deal you your fate in our wild card game.

When the last hand is played You, not us, will hold “aces over eights.”

It’ll be your turn to feel the turn of the screw when the Banshee turns toward you.

It’ll be you who schools will teach got schooled.

It’ll be you singin’ the Coronavirus blues!

William Tecku Tempe, AZ Gordon, WI COVID-19 & Climate Change We should have listened to the science. The COVID-19 pandemic is extracting a very high human cost due to our society’s lack of preparedness and our failure to take early action.

This is a lesson in the price we pay for the political denial of science and our government’s failure to act decisively based on the early evidence.

The Earth is at risk from climate change. Let’s take this very hard COVID-19 lesson to heart and demand that our leaders start taking action on climate change now before it is altogether too late. Even as we emerge from the COVID-19 emergency we must begin to re-stimulate our economy in the direction of preventing a climate change disaster that makes COVID-19 look like kindergarten. Experience is a hard teacher. Let’s hope that we are learning.

George Bussey Ashland, WI And the Winner is ….

In this time of crisis, both healthwise and financial, many of us are paying close attention to what Congress is doing (or not doing) to help. Many people are suffering, some with health issues and many more with the financial fallout caused by the great disruption in our routine lives. What will

DuluthReader.com

Congress do and who will be made whole? We simply don’t know yet but there will be one winner for sure.

That one is Donald Trump. Here’s why. To address the financial side of this, Congress is granting unspecified financial bailouts for industries affected by the epidemic; airlines, hotels, and more, industries many of which already pay little or no taxes. The president owns hotels.

Some of us older folks remember back when President Jimmy Carter had to sell his family owned peanut farm business in order to avoid the appearance of any conflict of interest.

If I were a hotel employee cleaning rooms, doing laundry, providing food service or any other hotel job which pays very low on the labor scale, I would be concerned about a reduction in my hours or even loosing my job. How could I afford to eat, pay my rent or cover any of my other survival expenses?

Some of the proposed economic bailout is likely hundreds of millions of dollars directly to the hotel industry.

If I were a hotel employee not made whole by the federal government, I doubt very much that I would trust the president with his newly acquired wealth to share it with me.

This is the second time the Republican-controlled Senate would be directly enriching the president. The first was the huge tax cut for wealthy folks and businesses at the expense of working folks. This benefited the president and his businesses personally at the rate of tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars.

But contrary to what some believe, not all politicians are corrupt. It’s up to each of us individually to do the work to sort out which of our elected representatives will represent only the wealthy and powerful and which will work for the 99%, the rest of us.

Do vote in the coming elections this year because your vote is the most important vote there is. Let’s vote for the common good, yours, mine and all of ours.

Lifelong motto Mary McCarthy once characterized another author like so: “Everything she says is a lie, including ‘and’ and ‘the.’”

Whenever I listen to Donald Trump, I’m reminded of that zinger.

Maybe I’m reminded of McCarthy’s poison dart because Billy Bush reported that when he accused Trump of inflating the ratings for his TV show, Trump declared, “People just believe you. You just tell them and they believe you.”

I never forgot that.

Or maybe McCarthy’s quip keeps coming to mind because, according to the Fact Checker of The Washington Post, Trump has lied to the public more than 16,000 times since he was sworn into office.

Reality, however, has a way of catching up with liars. Donald Trump cannot lie away a pandemic. All his life, he has dodged, denied, deflected, and flat-out lied his way out of trouble. Not this time. Facts – deadly facts – remain.

Asked by Yamiche Alcindor of PBS why in 2018 Trump had dissolved the Directorate for Global Health Security and Biodefense, Trump protested, “Well, I just think it’s a nasty question . . . And when you say ‘me,’ I didn’t do it.”

Warned repeatedly, Donald Trump denied the threat posed by the coronavirus.

Asked by Kristen Welker of NBC whether he should take responsibility for the failure to distribute more test kits for COVID-19 earlier, Trump finally said something true: “I don’t take responsibility at all.”

Of course. That’s been his lifelong motto.

NOT EUDORA HARRY WELTY

alt-right, tiki torch bearers who ran over a liberal-minded girl in Charlottesville, Virginia, were afraid of. The odd thing is that genetics proves, that these marchers are an amalgam of peoples who in earlier generations regarded each other the way Great Grandma Robb regarded the dirty Swedes – as contaminated. She was born into Pennsylvania in 1852 at the peak of the No Nothing Party. Also known as the American Party its members wanted to keep Germans and Irish out of America.

The farthest back we’ve traced Charlotte Seanor’s ancestors was to her grandfather John George Zehner. He was born in Pennsylvania in 1794 or 95, twelve years after the Treaty of Paris ended the American Revolutionary War. One result of the peace was a momentous decision by many Hessian soldiers who had been rented by King George to fight the Americans. Given a choice of a sea sickening voyage home to get shot up in some new war or the temptation to settle in a lush and empty land they chose to stay. John George’s father was probably trying to kill General Washington during that war, but when the dust settled, pragmatic Pennsylvanians welcomed him to move next door. His labors would give them a customer for their goods and help make Pennsylvania prosperous.

Not that everyone was thrilled to have German speaking neighbors. The

Zehner’s lost their German language and became the almost English sounding “Seanors.” They shrugged off everything but sauerkraut which the Robb boys helped their mother make five generations later.

Now thoroughly American, Grandma Robb couldn’t help but fret about her Swedish neigbhors even though they would follow her great-grandfather’s example. At least that’s what “the why” my Mother taught me practice, leads me to believe.

Of course, the Americans bringing guns to the border to keep the Central Americans out have taken things a step or two farther than Charlotte Robb. My why tells me that they see the Indian gene pool, returning north to the US, the same way Charlotte saw her Swedes. But that’s just my, why.

Not everyone likes a why. A lot of kids have learned to stop asking it. I’ll be honest though. There are few things that unnerve me more than a head without a little why in it; especially with the promiscuous rights our Second Amendment bestows upon us.

It Seems We Have A Lot of Robinson Crusoes in The World THE GADFLY by

ED RAYMOND Illustration by N.C. Wyeth for Daniel Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe

Remember that old expression “Will wonders never cease?” No one seems to know when it was formed, but it first appeared in print in 1775. It is appropriate again when we look at our political situation in the United States. We have reality-TV nutcase Donald the Lyin’ King serving as real president who lies only when his lips are moving and his fingers are twitching, and then we have “Sleepy” Joe who constantly fibs about his past, present, and future. Among the many “wonders,” Trumplicans in Congress are adopting most of the worker policies developed and supported by that damn “socialist” Bernie Sanders in 40 years in politics, rescuing us from the disaster capitalism brought to us by billionaires and a deadly pandemic virus.

All of a sudden billionaires are realizing that their workers and servants aren’t filling their huge pockets with cash actually produced by those workers, and are not at home and on the road to tuck them into beds, to make their beds, to make coffee and scrambled eggs, to carry their luggage to an airport, to fly them and their private doctors and nurses in their private jets at $5,000 an hour to virus-free estates from their feudal estates scattered in big cities across the world. Heavens to Betsy! It’s up to us to provide health care to everybody, sick leave for all workers, medical tests for all (Bernie calls it Medicare-For-All), and such terrible policies like employment and

unemployment insurance, food assistance, child care, and broadband and Internet access. Why, even Jeff Bezos of Amazon is actually thinking about paying his employees a living wage—as long as they keep working in his distribution center hellholes.

All of a sudden cruiseline and airline CEOs want to practice Bernie’s democratic socialism to pull their large asses out of the fires of disaster capitalism practiced for forty years by all of them. I see two loaded cruise ships are being refueled and restocked in Hawaii—as long as the crew and travelers are kept aboard ship. No one seems to know on what island on this planet they are going to land—with permission. It’s time to think about humankind and islands.

John Donne’s “Meditation 17” When he was seriously ill in 1623, English poet John Donne wrote a series of essays and poems about death. The following poem is an excerpt from his “Meditation 17.” I taught this poem to my seniors in English Literature at Fargo Central High School because it sparkled with humanity—and it gave a reason why we eventually climbed out of the trees. At my present age I’m probably closer to death than 99% of the living on the planet, so I doubly appreciate what Donne is saying about us.

10 April 9, 2020 DuluthReader.com

“No man is an island, entire of itself;

every man is a piece of the continent; a part of the main.

If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as a promontory were.

As well as if a manor of thy friend’s or of thine own were.

Any man’s death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee.”

In plainer words, Donne is writing that all beings on earth are one with God. He is comparing suffering to gold, arguing we can never have enough of our neighbor’s pain: “No man hath affliction enough that is not matured and ripened by it.” He is saying no one suffers alone, and being aware of another’s pain makes us stronger and more able to live.

A Message From A Chicago Suburb For Donald The Lyin’ King And His Cult Conservative Democrat Dan Lipinski was running for his ninth term after he had taken his father’s place in Congress for Illinois’s Third Congressional District, a relatively well-off Chicago suburb called Archer Heights. But over the years he had voted against abortion rights, the acceptance of equality for the LBGTQ+ community, had an anti-

immigrant record, had voted against Obamacare in 2010, and was against raising the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour. Lipinski was just primaried by a young progressive Democrat named Marie Newman. That, folks, should be a real message to Trumplicans and the moderate Democrats on the Democratic National Committee who support Joe Biden. Even the “moderate” suburbs tend to approve of Bernie’s revolution.

I would like to remind the so-called “moderates” on the Democratic National Committee and the corporations backing the pundits and the selection of moderate “experts” on MSNBC, NBC, CBS, CNN, the New York Times and possibly several debates, that their Joe is not the nominee yet. We still have seven months and 32 primaries before the convention where selection is made.

Will our lives be back to the terrible “normal” where half the families can’t come up with $400 for an emergency?

What if it’s 80% of the families by November 3rd?

Over the last few weeks I have listened to the coronavirus press conferences of Gov. Andrew Cuomo of New York and one by Donald the Lyin’ King each day.

Cuomo tells the truth for about two hours while King Donald continues to tell preening lies for two hours while his scientists behind him silently groan and are embarrassed. A few days ago a brain cell recalled a statement about truth by English Prime Minister Oliver Crom-

well who served King Henry VIII. King Henry’s second wife Anne Bolen did not give him a son so he told Cromwell to get rid of her. Cromwell started rumors that Anne had slept around with four of Henry’s friends and her own brother.

That was enough to get her beheaded.

After her head hit the basket, A duke witness noticed Cromwell had turned pale at the act. He asked Cromwell: “What are you doing? If you cannot speak truth at a beheading, when can you speak it?”

The Lyin’ King has demonstrated time and time again that he couldn’t speak truth at a beheading either. Cromwell died of natural causes in 1658 and was buried in Westminster Abbey. His enemies regained power in 1660 and dug up his corpse so they could behead it.

That’s the truth!

The Lyin’ King’s Place In The Great Chain of Being The nutcase in the Oval Office has only one goal: the preservation of himself. Much of mankind has been enthralled by The Great Chain of Being, a theory of government developed by the Greek philosophers Aristotle and Plato.

This theory put God on top (the Greeks loved all of their gods!), his angels next, and then came human kings and queens who were only answerable to God—and no one else. From here came the theory of The Divine Right of Kings.

Our Lyin’ King president, according to the evangelical “Christians” who put him in office, was chosen by God to lead us out of some wilderness, therefore becoming known as “The Chosen One.” So Trump actually believes he is answerable only to God—himself. The Great Chain of Being includes everything on earth: from God, his angels at the top of the chain, to humans, to animals, to plants, to rocks and minerals at the very bottom of the chain. Humans are kind of in the middle of this mess.

The Lyin’ King is too nuts, ignorant, and confused to understand this theory of government, but he has an unconscionable, insane thirst for power. His ambitions for his own well-being have swelled dangerously since the 2016 election. Fred Wertheimer of Democracy 21 has written about Trump’s “hugggge” thirst: “Financial self-interest is the only reason he ran. But power is a drug.

Power is an addiction - exercising power,

flying around on Air Force One, having motorcades (and Defense Department parades of tanks and missiles!), having people salute you. He thinks he is the country.”

But Trump does not understand what happens when a human violates The Great Chain of Being and attempts to rise above his position as ordained by God. If the wrong people are selected for government everything will go wrong in a country or province. The crops will be terrible and the animals will misbehave. The theory was if you had started life as a noble, farmer, blacksmith, or beggar you were in the place assigned

by God for you—and your life. If the natural order was disturbed by someone attempting to change his life, all hell would break loose. The English believed the story that if the natural order was upset, horses in their stables would go mad and eat each other. Trump’s term of office does not bode well for us.

It’s Time For Journalists To Cut Off The Incredible Shrinking Man What would happen if journalists refused to listen to or ask questions of the Lyin’ King? Their interaction with him does tremendous harm to all citizens of this country. Put him in an invisible “quarantine bubble.” Act as if he isn’t there. Call it the “Emperor-WithoutAny-Clothes” screen. Force him to face reality by paying no attention to him.

Self-cancel all White House briefings because they are a travesty of truth, justice, and the American Way. He has proven all his life that he is an incredible shrinking man when his mouth moves or he tweets. Do not repeat anything he says. I think it’s the only way to get rid of him. He certainly is beyond any medical treatment known to man. What is the cure for lying and self-aggrandizement? Certainly there is no current drug, vaccination, or breathing device that can cure such a lying, greedy virus.

when the bottom 90% can’t afford all types of medical care because greed is a constant untamed virus running amok in anything associated with health care.

According to the National Association of County and City Health Officials, local and state departments of health have lost 25% of their workforce since the 2008 Recession. On top of that, King Donald and his greedy cohorts cut the funding of the pandemic study section of the National Security Council and further decimated the budgets of the National Institutes of Health and the Centers of Disease Control.

Third, the administration failed to heed the warnings of our intelligence organizations that China had a strange

virus in some cities in December, 2019.

China had even made it public. The failure to warn the American public of that possibility has led to the scandal of insider-trading senators dumping millions of dollars of “recreational” stocks while Trump and Pence continue to make inexcusable excuses every day for not preparing the country for a pandemic.

The only good thing to come out of this disaster is the fact that Bernie’s democratic socialism policies such as universal health care Medicare-For-All and the benefits of good safety net for all will remain—if we ever get over the COVID-19. The virus has struck instead of all the pissants.

agencies, 24 25 but also can be shared with authorized third parties such as doctors, health insurance companies, HMOs and other corporations, hospitals, labs, nursing homes and medical researchers. 26 27 28 A new Health Information Exchange 29 30 31 initiative funded by the government will make it even easier for computerized health and vaccine records databases to tag, track down and sanction Americans who do not go along with the National Vaccine Plan in the future. 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 What Happened to the Plan’s Duty to Prevent Adverse Reactions to Vaccines?

Ironically, when Congress directed the Department of Health and Human Services to create a National Vaccine Program in the 1986 Act, federal health officials were told to put together a Plan to – quote “achieve optimal prevention of human infectious diseases through immunization and to achieve optimal prevention against adverse reactions to vaccines.” 39 The Plan was not supposed to focus solely on vaccine development and promotion but to equally focus on preventing vaccine reactions.

Yet, in the very first 1994 National Vaccine Plan only four out of 25 “objectives” and only two out of 14 anticipated “outcomes” addressed preventing vaccine reactions. 40 The 2010 version of the Plan 41 also largely ignored the legal duty of HHS to conduct vaccine safety research to fill in long standing knowledge gaps and take steps to make vaccines and vaccine policies less likely to cause harm. 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 Looking back, it appears Congress was not really committed to funding research and creating substantive initiatives to reduce vaccine risks, regardless of what was stated in the 1986 Act, or there would been congressional oversight and federal agencies would have been directed to follow the law rather than ignore it for more than 30 years. 53 Government’s Vaccine Marketing Plan for the Pharmaceutical Industry Instead, government agencies have brazenly forged lucrative public private business partnerships with the pharmaceutical industry and the medical establishment to:

• develop many new vaccines; 54 55 56 57 • increase public demand for vaccines; 58 • raise vaccination rates among children to nearly 100 percent; 59 • create and expand electronic vaccine tracking registries; 60 61 62 63 64 and • promote global vaccination programs, 65 66 even though the primary purpose of the 1986 Act was to reduce vaccine reactions and protect the U.S. childhood vaccine supply, 67 not fund and expand global vaccination programs.

In fact, federal health officials accurately characterize the U.S. vaccination system in the 21st century as a business. A decade ago they admitted that – quote -“The 2010 National Vaccine Plan provides a vision for the U.S. vaccine and immunization enterprise for the next decade.” 68 That’s because they know the National Vaccine Plan is really a Vaccine Marketing Plan for the pharmaceutical industry. 69 70 71 72 So, if you are wondering why many states are trying to pass laws eliminating all vaccine exemptions and mandate every vaccine the pharmaceutical industry produces and the CDC recommends, 73 74 75 76 you don’t have to look any further than the government’s well-financed National Vaccine Plan.

Implementation of The Plan Accelerated in 2011 Implementation of the Plan was accelerated in 2011 after the U.S. Supreme Court declared FDA licensed vaccines to be –quote - “unavoidably unsafe” for the purpose of removing almost all remaining liability from drug companies when vaccines hurt people. 77 78 Since 2011, two powerful CDC-appointed vaccine advisory committees influenced by members associated with the pharmaceutical and medical trade industries – the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) 79 80 81 82 83 and the National Vaccine Advisory Committee (NVAC) 84 85 86 – have been busy coming up with new ways to meet strategic goals of the National Vaccine Plan.

When highly publicized cases of measles were reported in California’s Disneyland

in 2015 87 and in New York in 2019, 88 89 with military precision pursuit of the Plan was kicked into even high gear. 90 91 During the past five years, California, Vermont, New York, Maine and Hawaii have lost vaccine exemptions, even though tens of thousands of Americans rose up in protest. 92 In 2019, the people managed to hold on to exemptions in states like Oregon, Arizona and New Jersey 93 but this year, bills to force vaccine use are already threatening parental, civil and human rights in Virginia, Massachusetts, Florida, Washington, Pennsylvania and more. 94 Five Main Types of Vaccine Laws Being Proposed in States These are the five main types of laws being proposed in the states and your state may be one of them: Number One: State laws that eliminate all personal belief vaccine exemptions allowing you to follow your conscience or religious beliefs and make it illegal for physicians to grant a medical exemption unless it strictly conforms to very narrow CDC-approved contraindications to vaccination.

National vaccine coverage rates among school children are at 95 percent for core vaccines like polio, pertussis, measles and chickenpox, yet, government health officials are not satisfied. 95 They have narrowed vaccine contraindications so that almost no medical history or health condition qualifies as a reason for a medical exemption. 96 If you or your child have had previous vaccine reactions, are vaccine injured, have a brother or sister who was injured or died after vaccination, or are suffering with a brain or immune system disorder that the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) does not consider to be a contraindication to vaccination, states like California 97 98 are denying physicians the right to exercise professional judgment and give children a medical exemption to vaccination are threatening human rights. 99 No wonder less than one percent of vaccine reactions are ever reported to the federal Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System 100 and doctors feel free to discriminate against and deny medical care to anyone who is not vaccinated according to CDC schedules. 101 Laws that eliminate medical, religious and conscience exemptions to vaccination and ban citizens from getting a school education – even a college education – do violate civil and human rights and so do vaccine mandates by employers who fire or refuse to hire workers based on their vaccination status. 102 103 104 The two

DuluthReader.com

professions being targeted first for workplace vaccine mandates are healthcare 105 106 107 and childcare workers, 108 109 but they certainly will not be the last. 110 Number Two: State laws that turn unelected members of the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices into de facto lawmakers and automatically mandate all current and future federally recommended vaccines without any public discussion or vote by duly elected state legislators.

Under the U.S. Constitution, state legislatures hold the majority of power to pass public health laws, so vaccine laws are state laws. 111 112 If states hand that constitutional authority over to an unelected federal government committee, the people no longer can work through their elected state representatives to make sure laws do not force involuntary medical risk taking and punish citizens exercising civil and human rights. 113 It is clear that Pharma and medical trade lobbyists partnering with government officials to implement the National Vaccine Plan are unhappy they have to spend so much time and money trying to strong arm state legislators into mandating every CDC recommended vaccine. At the same time, some politicians are not happy that a growing number of Americans are showing up in state Capitols to oppose oppressive vaccine mandates.

Today, it costs a staggering $3,000 to give a child every one of the 69 doses of 16 vaccines on the federal government’s schedule. 114 In addition to coronavirus vaccine, there are more than a dozen experimental vaccines being fast tracked to market for TB, influenza, HIV/AIDS, gonorrhea, herpes simplex, strep A and B, e-coli, RSV, salmonella, and malaria, 115 with several hundred more being developed in a global vaccine market estimated to balloon to nearly $100 billion by 2026. 116 117 State laws that automatically mandate all federally recommended vaccines are handing Big Pharma a big blank check and putting an unknown number of vaccine vulnerable children and adults at risk for serious health problems if they are forced to use every one of them. 118 119 120 121 122 Number Three: State laws that allow doctors to declare minor children mentally competent to consent to vaccination so children can be vaccinated without the knowledge of their parents.

There is plenty of scientific evidence that children’s brains are not developed enough before or during teenage years to support rational benefit and risk decisionmaking, especially if they are subjected to pressure. 123 124 Giving doctors the legal

authority to, in effect, go behind parents’ backs and persuade a minor child to get liability free vaccines violates the legal right of parents to consent to medical interventions performed on their children. 125 It also puts vaccine vulnerable children at greater risk for suffering reactions. 126 Parents know their child’s personal and family medical history best and if parents are left in the dark, not only are they blocked from preventing vaccine reactions but there is no way for them to monitor a child after vaccination for signs of reactions so they can immediately take their child for treatment. 127 Number Four: State laws requiring schools to publicly post vaccine coverage rates for the purpose of shaming schools that allow students with vaccine exemptions to receive a school education.

Publicly posting school vaccination rates and numbers of students with exemptions creates a hostile community environment by targeting certain schools and families, whose children have vaccine exemptions, for discrimination and abuse. 128 129 130 It is an illusion that some schools are safer based on vaccination rates. For example, even schools with 100 percent vaccination rates and zero exemptions have had outbreaks of pertussis 131 and schools with very high vaccination rates have had outbreaks of measles and mumps. 132 133 That is because vaccinated children and adults can get infected with and transmit infectious diseases but sometimes show few or no symptoms and are never diagnosed or reported. 134 135 136 137 138 139 140 Children and teachers interact with many other vaccinated and unvaccinated people outside of the school setting. It is discriminatory to require public posting of the numbers of healthy students with vaccine exemptions, when schools are not required to publicly post the numbers of students who are infected with transmissible diseases like hepatitis B and C, HIV, streptococcal, mononucleosis, cytomegalovirus, e-coli, Fifths disease, herpes simplex and more.

Number Five: State laws that operate vaccine tracking registries and integrate them into Electronic Health Records systems without the consent of those being tracked.

The National Vaccine Information Center has a two-decade public record of opposing the creation of national or state based electronic surveillance systems that automatically enroll children and adults without their informed consent to monitor their vaccination status and health histories. 141 Not only have there been past security

breaches with electronic databases dumping personally identifying information into the public domain, 142 but there is legitimate concern that the government should not be conducting electronic surveillance on citizens while pursuing a National Vaccine Plan that encourages punitive societal sanctions, such as the inability to get a school education or a job, for individuals who refuse to go along with the Plan.

Learn About Federal & State Government Police Powers to Compel Vaccine Use For more information on the history and types of public health laws that allow the federal government and states to use police powers to compel vaccine use, go to NVIC’s website at NVIC.org. 143 144 To learn more about vaccine legislation pending in your state and talking points you can use to educate your legislators, go to NVIC Advocacy.org and become a user of NVIC’s free online Advocacy Portal. You will be put into direct contact with your own state and federal representatives and sent emails when bills that threaten or expand your freedom to make voluntary vaccine choices are moving in your state so you can make your voice heard, including showing up at scheduled public hearings.

Making Government Work for Us In America, we are governed by laws that the representatives we elect make, so it is important to vet all candidates for positions on issues you care about before going to the polls. Good laws can be enacted and bad laws can be repealed but only if we wake up, stand up and actively participate to make our representative government work for us.

Already this year, there have been more than 50 good bills introduced in a number of states that defend voluntary vaccine choices. This is a time for positive action.

It’s your health. Your family. Your choice.

Dear Debra: It is good you have a healthy respect for the hazards of using power tools, especially saws.

use both hands. Both of these facts make the job easier, especially for women who do not have the upper body strength of most men. The only drawback to a Japanese saw is the sawdust is pulled back over the cutline, making it more difficult to see.

For sawing standard lumber, you can choose between a ripsaw or a crosscut saw. A ripsaw has large, coarse teeth and is used for rapid cutting along the length of a piece of lumber. A crosscut saw has smaller, finer teeth for making final cuts down to the finished size. Most home center stores and lumberyards will rip a piece down to size for you with their power saws, so a crosscut saw would be a better choice.

You will also need some specialty saws. Most indoor projects will require cutting plywood and drywall.

For these tasks, choose a saw with finer teeth that are hardened. You cannot sharpen hardened teeth,

but they will last much longer when cutting these materials.

Don’t forget a detail (miter) saw and miter box. A detail saw has a large, flat blade to fit into slots in the miter box for crisp cuts at a perfect 45-degree angle or when cutting a piece already in place.

The blade is stiff with a reinforcing ridge along the top edge.

1 Flu Over the Cuckoo It’s eerily strange awakening at two AM to the sound of wolves or coyotes.

The brash yip-yip and accompanying howls send spine chills stronger than a snowball down your back.

Growing up in a Range town and then living near the U in Dinkytown any pre-dawn commotion I heard came from wildlife by at night having nothing to do with wild animals.

That wasn’t so after moving to the North Shore. I was warm and safe in the second floor bedroom of my hewn log cabin in Hovland, but the reality of wolves outside the door was a wake up that couldn’t be ignored. Safe as I was left shaking every time, After years I grew accustomed to midnight winter serenades carrying a deep chill on the north wind. The fear being outside, I could curl up and talk myself “It’s OK, only wolves” back to sleep. But no matter how at ease I could be tucked in my own bed, the howl of wolves heard outdoors winter camping was an entirely different thing. Back in a distant era known as my thirties I developed a passion for winter camping incomprehensible other than as a need to be challenged and uncomfortable while being so. Actually, I did enjoy it, but I also enjoyed cooking my brains out afterward in the sauna. Come to think, quite a lot of drinking had something to do with sauna enjoyment, but best not muddy the waters with that now.

There’s nothing muddled about feel-

ings hitting like foot-long icicles when you’re in a tent hearing wolves somewhere “off there.” Didn’t matter if you been earlier thrilled by a bright meteor or stood awed by colored Northern Lights before turning in. Wolves howling in the night anywhere outside your tent might just as well be in there with you when it comes to fearful chills and crawly goose bumps. I could tell myself as much as I liked that I was safe and had no cause for alarm. It never worked. Imagination can convincingly build a belief that distant wolves will be drawn to a Eureka tent for a feast of scrawny English teacher huddled in his Black’s Icelandic. Your mind tells you it’s not real, but it sureshooting feels real.

Believe me, while half of me was quite rational and calm the other part was seeing itself a good chomp for a wolf pack. I’d puzzle over how long it would take a hungry pack to reduce me to a jaw bone, the usual part (along with hooves) found days following a kill. It was oddly comforting to think my cavity prone teeth could help identify the otherwise nothing-left-of-me. I was, I must say, experienced imagining my remains. Staying with family friends outside Brookfield Zoo in Chicago the horrifying howls of hyenas and deep growls of lions and tigers were carried on the summer night. In an attic room I could close the window and sweat to death or leave it open so my scent could lure my killers to me. In the

morning torn pajamas and a few buttons would be all that remained. I met death every night I slept there.

You may think this funny or exaggeration, but it’s not. Such fears were in fact well supported by incontrovertible lore. Everyone knew of the unfortunate elderly woman who let her dog out (a Pekinese it was said) only to have it become Wolf Chow. In half a yip one Pekinese and three chomps equals zero Pekinese. ½ + 1 + 3 = 0 is math not taught in schools but some part of us knows and understands with chilling clarity. (Departments of math and politic require an orderly state of myth.

They rely on that and on us to go along ignoring our experience with the real math of ½ + 1 + 3 = 0.)

I’m trying to keep a calm and reassuring tone, but there’s a reason behind why I started out with talk about wolves and coyotes sending chills into the night. Under normal conditions, as said, when surrounded by the four walls and roof of a house this is bad enough. When you’re on the ground in a tent the factor of fear jumps well up the needle of fright. In a screamer movie you’re at the point where the audience is yelling “Don’t open that door!” But, we all know they will. The door will be opened and all Hades will rush forth to zombie or hack one and all to miserable demise.

But now dear and gentle reader, I must tell of a more dreadful noise in the night than a coyote yip-yip-howl.

I heard it the other night and experienced a worse chill than ever before.

The bit of light snow that softened the fright freighted sound was not enough to remove the terror held in the predawn of a coyote’s yip-yip-yip-huffhuff-yip-yip-huff of deep congestion.

Hear that sound and you know it’s out there. The coyotes have it. They prowl in the wee hours looking for advantage, seeking to feed. They’re out there on the edge of sight along the hedge line hiding in the shadows. The Corona Coyote is here, it’s among us.

I don’t wish to alarm, but just the other day when it was sunny and almost spring like (as we’re all waiting) I was heartened by a bird chirping on a branch. “Ah,” I thought, “how lovely calling to a mate.” My heart expanded with happiness hearing “Tweet-tweet-tweet.” But then came what I now know to fear most. Then came the most doleful sound in all the bird world “Tweet-tweet-huff-huff,” the awful call of the Corona Sparrow. Yes, overhead, flying all around unstoppable and not enough cats in creation to feast on them all the Coronal Sparrows do their worst while in the sidelines and the roof peaks the driving forces of the Plague Pigeons rise in masses chanting “Coo-coo-cough-cough.” Whatever they mean their singing isn’t meant to bring us joy or teach us how to play chess. The Plague Pigeon desires power and to rule. Beware its seductive coo.

In the midst of a crisis

Duluth school board chooses Green Bay administrator as new superintendent Given the fiscally strapped soap opera our public school district has been over the past decade, just running the operation is a daunting job. Hiring a new superintendent, on top of doing that job, was going to be a full workload for the school board without anything else (including a viral pandemic) added.

Our overwhelmed board wisely decided to move a controversial school boundaries change (initiated by a superintendent leaving town) to a back burner. If board members are going to risk implementing boundary changes, it’s probably best they don’t wait too long. For ISD 709, demographic studies have had the shelf life of overripe by bananas. The last firm – RSP – predicted total enrollment for the 2019-20 school year to be 8,273, in its first fiveyear projection. Just two years later (April, 2017,) the firm dropped its projection for the same year to 7,758, a difference of 515 students – twice the enrollment of some of our schools.

The board has been touting the district’s “stability” a lot lately, a word I’ve heard many times. Keith Dixon famously said, “We’re still going through all the instability to get to the stability.” ISD 709 is 1,400 students below where Dixon said enrollment would be by now, but at least for the last few years the district hasn’t lost students. Will roiling up school boundaries have a good or bad effect on the “stability” we’ve attained at the bottom of the barrel? Stay tuned.

3992 moving in the State assembly and Eric Simonson had Senate File 3722 moving in the State Senate. The whole thing was set up to be a dog-and-pony show mirroring the Red Plan: a phony public comment period after the train was already running full speed down the tracks and impossible to stop, a farcical Review & Comment process from the MDE. Hopefully, curtailment of the state’s legislative session will put the brakes on this plunge, and give the new superintendent a chance to reconsider how he wants to start his tenure.

SCHOOL BOARD

A serious issue, zany times On a good day, our public school district can be zany. Add a potentially deadly virus to the mix, and we start entering terra incognita on the zany scale. To be fair, the school board has worked really hard, and did due diligence on many levels. Given their salary, members probably earned about two cents an hour throughout the superintendent selection process. The mere fact that they dealt with Covid-19 and kept things moving – putting themselves in jeopardy to some degree – to get this civic job done, deserves kudos.

But I still have to ask: Why did they let the superintendent dump so much on them, to begin with? Why in the world would they have also agreed to start revamping their entire committee structure, when they already had a full agenda on the table – WITHOUT Covid-19?

The board knocked itself out with a major committee restructuring, in the midst of all this mayhem, so it could theoretically gain more “efficient” use of its time. Before Gronseth’s administration nudged our ever-pliable representatives into this change, there were three standing committees and a regular meeting a month. Now there are two standing committee meetings, a regular meeting and a Committee of the Whole meeting.

Only three board members attend the standing committee meetings, instead of all seven, as it used to be, but the whole board now attends a monthly Committee of the Whole meeting. This meeting is essentially just the old Education Standing Committee, with a bunch of other sundry stuff thrown in. Often referred

The Super just kept loading it on Our departing leader – Bill Gronseth-has also been pushing a risky venture for the most precious piece of real estate in the center of our town. Mr. G.’s plan is an a awful idea extended out from Keith Dixon’s awful idea. Everything about the process so far has felt like déjà vu all over again: Administration handing out a resolution during the meeting rather than three days before, as it is supposed to; the board chair declaring full support for the resolution without even reading it.

Strangely, Covid-19 may have been our salvation on this one. The DFL had the ball rolling: Mary Murphy had House File

to by its comical acronym, COW, it was bound to be a real doozy to milk.

The first one, held on March 9, lasted nearly three hours, and didn’t include any “reports” from the standing committees, which are supposed to be forthcoming in the future. I sat through the virgin run of this experiment, and can report that it is difficult to see the time efficiency gained. All I see is that there are now going to be two vital monthly meetings held with only three board members present. Chair Lofald said during the March COW meeting that she envisions the rest of the board “just simply saying, ‘Thank you. Good job,’” to the three members on these two committees.

What I envision is four out seven members of a school board, poorly versed in its own policy and even less versed in the district’s finances, no longer getting direct information through these committees (and subsequently less able to effectively represent the public’s interest.)

Speaking of the public The biggest problem in the boardroom remains around transparency and public access to its government. Even the News Tribune blasted the school board for violating Data Practice law, by refusing to release the names of superintendent candidates. “The laws must be followed to ensure the public remains informed and government never operates in secret,” the newspaper properly lectured. The board also refused to record the candidate interviews, and then even tried to ban anyone else from recording public meetings – another clear violation of citizens’ rights. Only board member Oswald voted against this overreach of power.

The board defended its actions by arguing – validly – that candidates in the second round would have an unfair advantage if the first interviews were in the public realm. The second round could watch the first round, learn the questions and hear how previous candidates had responded. Eventually, the board relented with a compromise: A unanimous resolution was passed to record the first round, but only release it after the second round was over. Both recordings would be released on YouTube for one weekend. That way, the board reasoned, it could provide public access while keeping Covid-19-carrying citizens out of the building.

Once again, however, our board found itself in violation of the law. If all board members meet in a building, citizens must be given physical access to that building. Because the board had already passed the resolution, and everything was in such a state of perturbation, board Chair Jill Lofald unilaterally rescinded what had already been voted on and passed. Through the chair’s action, the school board doubled down on its refusal to record the interviews, and instead set up a remote viewing site for live-streaming in the basketball gym of Old Central.

The scuttlebutt I picked up was that some candidates for the superintendent job, coming from other states, were upset about the interviews possibly ending up in the public realm. I heard (unverified) rumors that some candidates even threatened to drop out, if the school board proceeded. Apparently these candidates feared that if they weren’t hired

by ISD 709, other potential employers and search companies would be able pre-judge their viability by watching ISD 709’s interview. I lobbied for the school board to still record the interviews and just not release them on the internet.

The school board flat-out refused, arguing that ISD 709 had never before recorded these types of interviews, and no other school district in the state had, either. We were in a special set of circumstances, however, with all kinds of new and extraordinary measures being taken.

The board considered meeting via internet. “If we were doing this from our homes we could then close this off to the public” is the way Chair Lofald put it. Citizens ended up in the basketball gym. By refusing to record, the school board effectively gave people two choices: gather in a public building, something every other official was discouraging, or miss out forever on the selection process for one of the most important positions in local government. The school board placed a shell of total privacy-protection around candidates seeking a public position, at a risk to the public.

And to all you stingy deficit hawks who screamed austerity would make the patient better in all the Obama years, with this pandemic we’ll look at debt and keeping society in one piece a whole new way won’t we?

In my little personal neighborhood we have several sets of grandkids and moms doing daily lessons and working from home. We’ve pretty much stayed put, venturing out to snowshoe on a daily basis, a program I’m calling “Snowshoes for Sanity.” I even climbed up on a daughter’s roof to put up a cell-phone booster for a reason related to work since we live in some kind of cell-phone vacuum. I mean, we lose a lot of calls and haven’t abandoned the land line. I still have a dial up phone hanging on the wall in the basement and I let the grandkids call other cousins and aunties and uncles just for the fun of it.

A dial phone—what a novelty.

Yes, a pandemic can certainly get your attention. And it will get close for many. That German son I noted

earlier, well both he and fiancé have tested positive and so far little German grandson is negative. They sent photos of the little guy, born on my birthday no less, and the two of them wearing masks and being very, very careful. The two of them are symptom-free as of yesterday. Germany has an aggressive testing policy, especially for pilots and travelers and health care workers, and bingo they were mapped, as were all the contacts they may have had.

Nurses like my older daughter in St. Louis County are told to be careful and not be tested unless symptoms appear since tests are still few and far between. Personal protective equipment is still in short supply for health care workers across this nation.

I sure hope something good will come of all the pain we’re yet to see.

Testing, triage and tragedy: The Trump pandemic

DEMOCRACY NOW! by

AMY GOODMAN Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institue of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, speaks as Dr, Deborah Birx, White House coronavirus response coordinator and President Donald Trump listen during a press briefing with the coronavirus task force, at the White House, March 16, 2020 in Washington.

NEW YORK CITY - An eerie silence pervades the city, punctuated by the wail of ambulance sirens. Streets and sidewalks, which normally would be crowded with New Yorkers heading to restaurants and theaters, are now vacant. This is the epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States.

There are over 65,000 confirmed cases nationally, and around 1,000 coronavirus deaths. New York State has over 30,000 of those confirmed cases, with at least 18,000 of those in New York City alone. These New York numbers double every three to four days. The pandemic is ripping through New York, exponentially. The numbers are a gross underestimate caused by the egregious shortage of tests nationwide.

In New York City, makeshift hospitals are quickly being cobbled together at places like the sprawling Javits Convention Center, while frontline health care workers are scrambling to find personal protective equipment, so they don’t get infected while caring for others. This city of over 8 million souls, its economy shuttered and its clinics, hospitals and intensive care units already near capacity, is bracing for a massive surge of patients.

On Tuesday, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo blasted President Donald Trump, saying at a news briefing: “FEMA is sending us 400 ventilators ... What am I going to do with 400 ventilators, when I need 30,000? You pick the 26,000 people who are going to die!” Under pressure, Vice President Pence promised

DuluthReader.com

Cuomo an additional 2,000 ventilators from the more than 16,000 held in the national strategic reserve. Cuomo said New York will attempt to hook multiple patients up to single ventilators.

One early national estimate predicted there would be eight patients needing ventilation for each available ventilator, leaving many to die.

Over 140 million Americans are under “stay at home” orders, hundreds of thousands of businesses are closed down or working at a fraction of their normal capacity. Millions are out of work, crashing state unemployment claim websites. Families are separated, with many vulnerable elderly relatives in locked-down senior citizen facilities in a desperate attempt to prevent the death sentence of coronavirus exposure.

On Tuesday, which was, at the time, the deadliest day of the pandemic so far in the United States, Donald Trump said on the Fox News Channel that he wanted the country “raring to go

by Easter,” adding later, “You’ll have packed churches all over our country.

I think it would be a beautiful time.”

Packed churches? At a time when the pandemic is widely predicted to be worse than it is now?

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease doctor who is often at Trump’s side at press briefings, told Science Magazine, describing his inability to correct Trump’s many lies and misstatements, “I can’t jump in front of the microphone and push him down.”

Someone with a deeper understand-

ing of Easter than Trump has, and likely more knowledge of COVID-19, is Pope Francis, who now holds his weekly mass before an empty St. Peter’s Square in Rome. Italy has the highest number of deaths from the pandemic, with over 7,500, and the country’s 60 million residents remain under mandatory lockdown. The Vatican just issued instructions to its clergy globally to hold Easter mass “without the presence of the people,” encouraging parishioners to “prayerfully unite themselves in their homes.”

The World Health Organization warned that the United States could soon become the pandemic’s global epicenter. Widespread testing, isolation of those infected and protection of health care workers are all essential to turn the tide. The months’ delay in making tests available in the U.S., the ongoing lack of testing and the time it takes for those who are tested to get their results have jeopardized the health of the entire U.S. populace.

On the front lines, nurses, doctors and support staff are treating this tsunami

of COVID-19 patients, alongside their normal patient population as well. Staff are forced to reuse face masks over and over again, which, under normal circumstances, would be a fireable offense.

Sean Petty, an emergency room nurse in the Bronx, said on the Democracy Now! news hour, “When we reuse it, we potentially contaminate ourselves, and then we’re putting other patients at risk.”

When asked what gives him the courage to go in every day, despite the enormous risk that health care workers have of getting infected themselves, Petty said: “A sense of duty to my patients. If we don’t show up, if we’re not there, nobody else is going to be ...

What undermines morale for us is that our government doesn’t have our back, that the Trump administration and the federal authorities have done virtually nothing.” (c) 2020 Amy Goodman and Denis Moynihan Distributed by King Features Syndicate

International Eelpout Festival, Walker

LOCAL HISTORY by

MN HISTORICAL SOCIETY

Eelpout displayed during the International Eelpout Festival, 2019 The International Eelpout Festival in Walker began in 1980 as a way to bring tourists to northern Minnesota during the long winter months. Centered on what is considered the state’s ugliest fish, it grew into an annual fourday festival that has attracted national attention and thousands of visitors.

In 1979, Don and Debbie Overcash, owners of Walker Drug, and Ken Bresley of the Tackle Box bait shop came up with the idea of an International Eelpout Festival to encourage winter tourism in Walker, Minnesota. When the idea was rejected by the Chamber of Commerce, each invested $1 and began planning the first festival.

The eelpout (Lota lota), or burbot, is a

variety of cod. It is a slimy, eel-like bottomfeeder that dwells in cold northern lakes and rivers. Its reputation for ugliness has prompted news reporters to give it such uncomplimentary names as the “Ish of Fish,” and “Minnesota’s Slimiest Tough Guy”—an unlikely inspiration for a town festival. Unlike most Minnesota fish species, it spawns in the winter and goes dormant in summer, so it is easiest to catch in late winter.

In January 1980, an estimated 800 people turned out on frozen Leech Lake for the first International Eelpout Festival to compete for the trophy awarded for the largest eelpout caught. Organizers offered a consolation prize for the largest walleye (generally considered

22 April 9, 2020 DuluthReader.com

a prized catch but jokingly referred to as a “rough fish” during the competition) caught during the two-day festival. Teams with names like the Walker ‘Pout Scouts, Cod Camp, and the Norwegian Eelpout Team competed for the Chase on the Lake eelpout trophy. Festival buttons helped to finance the event entitled holders to be entered into a prize drawing. The Walker Pilot-Independent newspaper issued its first International Eelpout Festival souvenir section, filled with tongue-in-cheek articles and eelpout trivia.

The following year, an estimated 2,250 to 2,400 anglers landed a total of 306 eelpout.

Festival attendees participated in Eelpout bowling and enjoyed a fireworks display.

In 1983, the festival moved to February.

Participants paid an entry fee of four dollars.

Anyone beating the state eelpout record of fourteen pounds and one ounce had a chance to win a car, though the record held and the prize went unclaimed.

The event’s popularity increased each year.

Beginning in 1984, the festival ran three days and featured new events, such as a fivemile footrace called the Eelpout Peel-Out. To help promote the festival, the organizers held contests for official “International Eelpout” prints and stamps in 1987 and 1988.

Minnesota wildlife artists Les C. Kouba and James Meger submitted the winning entries.

By the mid-1990s, the festival boasted

grand prizes of a new fish house, a trip to Mexico, and a new, four-wheel, all-terrain vehicle. In 1997, festival officials shipped some of the eelpout caught to the Mall of America for display in the mall’s Underwater World. Events included a Polar Plunge into the icy waters of Leech Lake.

By the 2010s, the festival extended to four days and featured such events as snowmobile races, eelpout curling, eelpout rugby, an eelpout fish fry, and concerts.

Over the years, the festival has reached

national audiences through a variety of television programs. Jay Leno of “The Tonight Show” did a feature on the 2011 Eelpout Festival. Animal Planet’s “Off the Hook: Extreme Catches” series featured a program in 2013 titled “Land of 10,000 Iceholes.” In 2018, public television cooking show host Lidia Bastianich filmed a program segment at the festival, sharing the tip that eelpout, for all their ugliness, are tasty fish.

Duluth Herald April 9, 1909 TIGHT WADS NOT WANTED “Pikers” Don’t Make Good Brewery Agents, Says Witness A brewing company doesn’t want any “pikers” in its employ. A “tight-wad” can’t get business from the company’s patrons, so they allow a man practically a free hand in his expenditures made in the interest of the company for the purpose of holding business, and securing new patrons. So said P. C. Schmidt, attorney for the Fitger Brewing company, on the stand in district court this morning, during the trial of Harry Cavallin, charged with the misappropriation of about $2,000 of the company’s money while he was its agent at Hibbing.

In answer to questions put by Victory Power, Cavallin’s attorney, in the cross-examination, Mr. Schmidt said the company allows its agents to use their own judgment in the matter of expenditures, giving the office manager supervision of them. If the expenditures mount up higher than is commensurate with the amount of business the agent is put on the carpet. If it is repeated too often, there is an adjustment of the tinware, and a new face visits the saloon.

A good deal of inside information on the brewery business was given to the jury. If an agent makes a big collection and would expect to treat everybody in the house on the strength of it he leaves a few dollars that “de gang” may be treated when they show up. If the collection is big enough, he may leave $8 or $10.

Mr. Cavallin was distinctly not a “piker” in the brewers’ understanding of the term. About a month after he took charge of the Hibbing office, his expense account as reported as $400. The amount was a little strong and the office manager ordered him to curtail, but his

expenditures among the company’s patrons at Hibbing were never niggardly.

The prosecution of Mr. Cavallin is based on the allegation that he failed to report the expenditure of the money he is charged with embezzling. He claims he spent it in the interest of the business.

Duluth Herald April 10, 1920 SAYS DETECTIVES CAUSE OF STRIKES How private detectives worm their way into labor unions and seek places of trust among the unions was the substance of addresses given last night by Stephen A. Doyle before the Duluth Trades and Labor assembly and before the Brotherhood of Railway Carmen of America at Proctor.

“Ninety-eight per cent of the trouble between capital and labor can be traced directly to the insidious work of the private detective agencies,” Mr. Doyle told members of the labor bodies last night. “The principal object of the private detectives is to keep strife alive between employer and employe. That is the reason why there are several million detective agencies doing business in the United States.”

In the many strikes n which he had been instrumental in settling, and he mentioned many of them, in each case he said he had advised, and his advice was taken, the removal of every private detective from the field.

“When these men left the job the agitators disappeared,” said Mr. Doyle. “It was then an easy matter to bring employer and employe together and effect a settlement.”

Sewing to save lives

Artistic Park Point entrepreneur turns back on business to make masks

By Jim Lundstrom

Natalija Walbridge works in her home studio on her line of Dock 5 items before she turned her attention to making masks for people in high-risk environments during the coronavirus crisis.

With the coronavirus causing chaos around the world, Natalija Walbridge decided it was time to clear the decks at her Park Point studio/home, put her business on hold and begin making masks that are so desperately needed for people in high-risk situations.

“Up until a week or so ago, I was busy sewing and working on new designs for the American Craft Show, which is in St. Paul and was scheduled for April, but, of course, it’s been postponed,” she said.

Her business, Dock 5, involves sewing for her canvas bags and bandanas – what she calls “functional fashion” – so she thought briefly about making fabric masks for those in need during the crisis.

“The recommendations were that

26 April 9, 2020 DuluthReader.com

homemade masks weren’t going to be useful,” she said. “Then the CDC updated their website to say that even a plain bandana is better than nothing. After I got over the shock of that, I realized that I can do better than that. I make bandanas. I have bandana fabric I can sew.

I immediately dropped everything I was working on and committed to making masks full-time. My next question was how to make the best mask possible?

What can I do to make it as functional as possible?”

That’s when her connections to the area’s art world began to kick in.

“Within hours, I happened to see my friend Lila Boehland post a pattern,” Natalija said. “I know her because we’ve done shows together. She’s a fiber artist.”

Lila’s daughter, Andie, is an emergency doctor in Duluth.

“Because there is a nationwide shortage of surgical masks, she asked me if I could create a pattern for a cloth mask that could be used for non-medical hospital employees and asymptomatic patients who are in the ER waiting room,” Lila said. “Since COVID-19 is spread by droplets, she wanted to contain the droplets before they entered the room.

I created the pattern, and after several prototypes, she approved the current version. It was great teamwork!”

“These masks were specifically designed to have a cup shape so they can fit over an N95 mask [the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health-approved respirator mask],” Natalija said. “A fabric mask alone is not virus proof, but when used as a cover for an N95 it becomes washable. They can cover a cough, and remind people not to touch their faces. Ideally they can have enough fresh covers to change covers between patients. These covers are incredibly valuable when used that way.

The beautiful thing is that the fabrics I use, both for my bandanas and bags are high-quality cotton woven fabric, which is the ideal fabric to be making this type of mask.”

As soon as she put the idea out there via social media, Natalija started hearing from health care workers who desperately needed the masks.

One of Natalija’s designer mask covers in use.

While she had the fabric on hand, she did not have the elastic needed to secure the masks. When she heard from a group who work in an eye surgery clinic, she asked if they could wait until she obtained elastic, at a time when it is in short supply across the country.

“Literally, within 48 hours last week, the whole United States sold out of elastic,” Natalija said. “That group of eye surgery nurses said they needed them fast and could not wait for elastic. They were in such urgent need because none of them have N95s and most of their patients are elderly and they have to be in close contact with them. They needed masks within 24 hours.”

She started sewing, and also put out the word that she needed elastic, including to her brother, Dave Walbridge, a professional performance artist in the Twin Cities who performs under the name Big Fun Show.

“He has a huge network of people and was able to connect me with the UMD theater costume shop director, who donated enough elastic for me to finish that first rush order,” Natalija said. “My neighbor and one of our star volunteers here on Park Point, Diane Gould, who’s my runner, picked up the elastic and also brought me a supply of zip-lock bags and rubber gloves for safe packag-

ing and handling.”

Throughout this strange journey to provide masks, Natalija has been impressed with the collaborative efforts and contributions of her fellow artists.

“One collaboration that has been pivotal, Barb Owen-Boerger, a friend and jewelry artist in International Falls. She reached out to me the first night I was hatching an idea to reprioritize my whole life,” she said.

“She reached out to lend some moral support and said she’d be willing to help brainstorm. I took her up on it and called her. One of the first things I asked, do we know each other? No, she said she just been following me on Instagram. She is the one who came up with the idea to maybe find some matching sponsors who would be willing to buy masks and then donate them, particularly to health care workers and people in high-risk situations.

That was invaluable.”

Owen-Boerger of Sand Bay Jewelry, International Falls, said Natalija’s efforts represent “the incredible way the creative adapt their gifts to the needs at hand. It is a beautiful reminder that creativity starts in the heart, soul and spirit.”

Natalija also mentions fellow “starving artist” Ann Klefstad, an artist and writer who became one of her first sponsors.

“The reason she could help is somebody just bought one of her paintings, so support your artists,” she said. “It’s all going to trickle down to the right places.”

It is that kind of thinking that has allowed Natalija to put her own business on hold until this need for masks is satisfied. She originally thought of doing some sort of crowdfunding event online to help cover her costs.

“But there’s no time for business as usual,” she said. “The most valuable thing I can do every moment of the day is sewing to save lives. And I’ll try to emerge and survive as an artist when this is over. So many people are offering to help me. I just have complete faith that things are going to balance out in the long run.”

Still, there are ways to help.

1. If you can sew, use the patterns provided and reach to to people in your community who might need face masks. If you needed advice, Natalija suggests you follow her on social media, where she shares sewing tips.

2. If people want to sponsor the mask-making effort by purchasing

masks that she can donate to people in high-risk situations, mail checks to Dock 5, 2311 Minnesota Ave., Duluth, MN 55802. “This is not a formal fundraising project,” Natalija said. “I don’t have an end goal. I don’t know how demand will flow, but I’m committed to sewing as long as it takes before I switch back to business as usual. My plan is to keep getting orders out the door as fast as I can.”

3. And, finally, she asks that you support your local artists and farmers, who, she said, are pretty much in the same boat as artists. “Several of my artist

friends, myself included, have been applying for unemployment but have been rejected because our income is seasonal and they’re going by quarterly earnings. Same thing with farmers. We don’t make money in spring, but our biggest expense period is in the spring. So we are tapped out but don’t qualify for unemployment. You don’t have to support me. Support anyone whose work you love. Splurge on a painting or on whatever you’ve been wishing for.” She notes that she continues to take orders for her Dock 5 bags and bandanas, “but

the bandana supply will be limited and will only last until they are repurposed into masks,” she said. “I’m not concerned. But if people want to find out more about me, take a peep at my website (dock-5.com). My show schedule is on there as well, but who knows if there will be shows in the future?”

If you would like to make your own masks, you can find the design plan online at readerduluth.com.

Minnesota native among National Recording Registry honorees

Springtime has been something to look forward to since 2002 when the National Recording Preservation Board’s began announcing recordings to be included on its annual National Recording Registry, nominated by the public and chosen for inclusion “because of their cultural, historical and aesthetic importance to the nation’s recorded sound heritage.”

The list is always filled with treasures, and this year is no different.

In fact, this year’s listing hits a real milestone with the inclusion of Windom, Minnesota-native Maria Schneider’s 2004 Grammy Award-winning album Concert in the Garden, recorded wth her 18-piece jazz orchestra. Schneider has the distinction of being the first female jazz composer to have an album added to the registry.

“I am deeply moved to have this album that was artistically so fulfilling to make, honored in this magnificent way,” Schneider said. “Crowdfunded in 2003, years before the word ‘crowdfund’ was coined, and as the first release on the prescient label, ArtistShare, Concert in the Garden paved the way to artistic and financial freedom in recording. At the time, I had a sense it was making history, showing how when the internet opens up a two-way, direct and transparent connection between an artist and an audience with no intermediary, the artist can find financial independence and true artistic freedom.”

Concert in the Garden was the first album to win a Grammy without having been sold in stores, being only distributed through the internet.

Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden

named this and 24 other recordings as aural treasures worthy of preservation because of their cultural, historical and aesthetic importance to the nation’s recorded sound heritage.

“We received more than 800 nominations this year for culturally, historically or aesthetically significant recordings to add to the registry,” Hayden said.

Under the terms of the National Recording Preservation Act of 2000, the Librarian, with advice from the Library’s National Recording Preservation Board (NRPB), is tasked with annually selecting 25 titles that are “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant” and are at least 10 years old. More information on the National Recording Registry and how to nominate recordings can be found at loc.gov/programs/nationalrecording-preservation-board/aboutthis-program/.

The new recordings added to the National Recording Registry bring the total number of titles on the registry to 550, a small part of the library’s vast recorded-sound collection of nearly 3 million items.

The 2019 National Recording Registry includes: “Whispering” (single), Paul Whiteman and his Orchestra (1920): Whiteman’s blockbuster hit “Whispering” was the first in a long series of popular recordings that sharply defined a new style and direction in instrumental dance music — one that would have longlasting effects.

Among its attributes were bold, clean lines with the melody clearly in front. With his pianistarranger, Ferde Grofe, and ace trumpet man Henry Busse, Whiteman would both codify a type of jazz and be popularly considered its king.

“Protesta per Sacco e Vanzetti,” Compagnia Columbia; “Sacco e Vanzetti,” Raoul Romito (1927): This 1927 release combines a spoken, dramatic set piece on it’s A side with a protest

song on the B side. Both decry the impending execution of Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, two Italian American immigrants convicted of murder in 1920 but believed by many to have been railroaded because of their anarchist political beliefs.

“La Chicharronera” (single), Narciso Martinez and Santiago Almeida (1936): Martinez and Almeida, two pioneers of Tex-Mex conjunto music, introduced the classic accordion (Martinez) and bajo sexto (Almeida) combination on this, their first recording for Bluebird Records. Their music exemplified the blending of Central European instruments and dance genres with those of Mexican Texas that had been going on for at least a generation before they made their first recordings.

Arch Oboler’s Plays episode “The Bathysphere” (Nov. 18, 1939): Arch Oboler was one of radio’s great suspense writers, later bringing his talents to the terrifying and beloved Lights Out! radio program. Prior to that assignment, he helmed this eponymous series and one of his best known plays, “The Bathysphere.” “Bathysphere” concerns the descent of a diving bell to a depth of 3,200 feet with an unlikely two-man crew – a scientist and a dictator, one of whom may not be entirely trustworthy. Years later, Rod Serling would acknowledge Oboler as one of his greatest influences.

“Me and My Chauffeur Blues” (single), Memphis Minnie (1941): Lizzie Douglas, better known as Memphis Minnie, was born circa 1897 in Algiers, Louisiana. She took up guitar as a child after her family moved to the Memphis area in 1904 and was singing and playing on Beale Street by the age of 13. She started recording under the name “Memphis Minnie” for the

Columbia label in 1929 and went on to record more than 200 songs. “Me and My Chauffer Blues” showcases her aggressive and uncompromising vocal delivery and stinging guitar work. It also is her best-known song, thanks in part to later covers by Big Mama Thornton, Nina Simone and Jefferson Airplane.

The 1951 National League Tiebreaker: New York Giants vs. Brooklyn Dodgers — Russ Hodges, announcer (Oct. 3, 1951): Hodges famously repeating “The Giants win the pennant!” in an edge-of-the-seat ninth inning win.

Puccini’s Tosca (album), Maria Callas, Giuseppe di Stefano, Angelo Mercuriali, Tito Gobbi, Melchiorre Luise, Dario Caselli, Victor de Sabata (1953): In 1981, Christian Science Monitor critic Thor Eckert Jr. wrote a critique of the recording history of Tosca and said, “In 1953 Maria Callas, Giuseppe di Stefano, Tito Gobbi, and maestro Victor de Sabata along with the forces of La Scala Opera gathered to make recording history — the finest Tosca of all time, and one of the greatest recordings of an opera on records.”

“Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh” (single), Allan Sherman (1963): “Hello Muddah” is a comic novelty song with lyrics written by Allan Sherman and Lou Busch (to the tune of Ponchielli’s “Dance of the Hours”) in which a boy describes his summer camp experiences at the fictional Camp Granada. At the time of the recording, Sherman was an intermittently successful television writer and producer specializing in game shows, while Busch was best known in the persona of ragtime pianist Joe “Fingers” Carr. Sherman’s first two albums, released in 1962 and 1963, topped the charts, but it would be this single from his third album, My Son, the Nut, that immortalized him.

WGBH broadcast of the Boston Symphony on the day of the John F. Kennedy Assassination, Boston Symphony Orchestra (1963): The ageless adage of “drawing comfort through music” had never been more thoroughly tested than on the scheduled afternoon broadcast of the Boston Symphony, with its conductor Erich Leinsdorf, on Nov. 22, 1963. Leinsdorf was forced to break with normal concert protocol and, stoically, address the large audience with a change of program and to share the tragic news of President Kennedy having been killed in Dallas only minutes

before. As everyone in the hall — including the musicians — processed this news, the sheet music for the “Funeral March” from Beethoven’s 3rd Symphony was distributed to the orchestra, which bravely performed.

Fiddler on the Roof (album), original Broadway cast (1964): While the Sholom Aleichem stories had been adapted various times before, Tevye’s true entry into the greater public consciousness came with Fiddler on the Roof, the musical adaptation of Aleichem’s stories. With direction from Jerome Robbins and opening with Zero Mostel as a riveting Tevye, Fiddler became a massive Broadway success, running for a record-setting 3,242 performances.

“Make the World Go Away” (single), Eddy Arnold (1965): “Make the World Go Away” brought veteran country hitmaker Eddy Arnold to a new, younger audience and launched what he called his second career. The recording showcased songwriter Hank Cochran’s memorable melody and plaintive lyrics, Arnold’s mellow baritone vocal and the tasteful backing of such Nashville session stalwarts as guitarist Grady Martin, pianist Floyd Cramer and the Anita Kerr Singers, along with an eight-piece string section.

Hiromi Lorraine Sakata Collection of Afghan Traditional Music (1966-67; 1971-73): This collection of more than 50 hours of important and unique field recordings from Afghanistan was the research of ethnomusicologist Hiromi Lorraine Sakata.

“Wichita Lineman” (single), Glen Campbell (1968): Glen Campbell made a splash on both the country and pop charts and achieved enormous fame in the ’60s and ’70s with a singing style that matched a genial tone with introspective lyrics. Songwriter Jimmy Webb conceived the tale behind “Wichita Lineman” while driving. “Wichita Lineman” struck listeners with its poetic lyrics about a man attempting to make a romantic connection in the face of his own crippling loneliness.

Dusty in Memphis (album), Dusty Springfield (1969): By 1968, Londonborn singer Dusty Springfield was already a success in the United Kingdom when she came to America to record Dusty in Memphis, which would become the defining album of her career. The instrumental tracks were recorded at legendary American Sound Studio in Memphis, featuring the Memphis Cats and backup vocalists, the Sweet Inspirations (which included Cissy Houston, mther of Whitney Houston). Springfield

initially recorded her vocals there as well, but reportedly dissatisfied with the results, later rerecorded them at Atlantic Studios in New York City.

Mister Rogers Sings 21 Favorite Songs From ‘Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood’ (album), Fred Rogers (1973): Almost two decades after the last broadcast of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood in 2001, Fred Rogers remains an influential figure in American culture.

Certain tunes became synonymous with the program, especially the opening and closing themes as well as “You Are Special” and “I’m Proud of You.” Cheap Trick at Budokan (album), Cheap Trick (1978): In 1978, at the Budokan in Tokyo before 12,000 ardent fans, the band recorded this seminal live album, which was originally meant solely for sale in the Japanese market.

But stoked later by word-of-mouth and airplay on a few U.S. FM rock stations, high-priced imports of the album began to sell in unheard-of numbers.

Further airplay and interest increased when Epic, the band’s record company, serviced radio stations with a promotional version of the album unavailable in stores before finally releasing Cheap Trick at Budokan domestically in February 1979.

Holst: Suite No. 1 in E-Flat, Suite No. 2 in F / Handel: Music for the Royal Fireworks / Bach: Fantasia in G (special edition audiophile pressing), Frederick Fennell and the Cleveland Symphonic Winds (1978): This recording was the first commercial digital recording of symphonic music in the United States and was captured on the Soundstream recorder, the first available commercial digital recorder.

The original recording was released to vinyl in 1978 and then again in 1983 as the first CD release for the U.S.-based Telarc label.

“Y.M.C.A.” (single), Village People (1978): In 1977, the Village People emerged as a purposely campy and extravagantly costumed vocal sextet of guys singing upbeat dance floor anthems that often referenced gay pop culture. “Y.M.C.A.,” their biggest hit, is an American cultural phenomenon.

A Feather on the Breath of God (album), Gothic Voices; Christopher Page, conductor; Hildegard von Bingen, composer (1982): Twelfth-century Benedictine abbess Hildegard von Bingen is the earliest known woman composer whose works have survived to present day. The title of the album is a quote from one of her writings. Her repertoire had been ignored for decades until the

release of this beautiful recording by the award-winning Gothic Voices.

Private Dancer (album), Tina Turner (1984): Tina Turner survived a brutal marriage to reclaim fame and obtain recognition as a solo artist and a superstar in her own right with this timeless 1984 comeback album.

Ven Conmigo (album), Selena (1990): This 1990 album by Selena Quintanilla was the first Tejano record by a female artist to achieve gold status.

The album also marks a turning point both in Selena’s career and within the Tejano music genre — as it brought the music to a wider American audience.

The Chronic (album), Dr. Dre (1992): The 1992 solo debut album of hip-hop artist and producer Dr. Dre, a former member of N.W.A. It solidified the West Coast’s dominance of the genre, and its influence would be heard for years to come. The Chronic also featured appearances by future superstar Snoop Dogg, who used the album as a launching pad for his own solo career.

“I Will Always Love You” (single), Whitney Houston (1992): Already recognized as one the great voices of her generation, Houston took the song written by Dolly Parton and made it her own. The recording would eventually become Houston’s signature song and sell upwards of 20 million copies.

Percussion Concerto (album), Colin Currie (2008): A drummer’s dream, Jennifer Higdon’s composition Percussion Concerto received a Grammy in 2010. This 2008 recording by percussionist supreme Colin Currie — indeed, the piece was written for him — captures his great virtuosity. The piece would go one to win the Grammy for Best Classical Contemporary Composition.

Everyone is welcome to submit nominations to the National Recording Registry. For more information and to find nomination forms and rules for nominations, visit the Library of Congress website at loc.gov.

Cooking up relief

Cookbook campaign aims to aid Lincoln Park community So the virus forces you to close your four businesses and lay off 200 people.

What do you do then? Draw your head into your turtle shell and wait for this awful time to come to an end?

Not if you are a group of Lincoln Park businessmen who care about where you live, the people who work for you and the people who support your businesses.

“Tom called me and said, ‘Let’s get the band back together’,” said Robert Lillegard, owner of the Lincoln Park business Duluth’s Best Bread by and author of two acclaimed cookbooks The Duluth Grill Cookbook (2014) and The Duluth Grill Cookbook II (2016).

The Tom he refers to is Tom Hanson, owner of the Duluth Grill, Corktown Deli, OMC Smokehouse and the relatively new cocktail lounge Noble Pour. With the threat of illness and worse from the pandemic, Hanson laid off 200 people from those businesses.

The “band” he referred to is the group that made the previous two cookbooks happen, and besides Hanson and Lillegard, includes Tobbi Stager, owner of another Lincoln Park business, JS Print Group.

Together they came up with a plan for a new cookbook and a way to help their community.

“We talked about how we could make it have maximum impact.,” Lillegard said. “Tobbi thought of the book, Tom thought of the charity and I thought of helping other businesses. There’s a lot of different involvement, so that’s kind of neat.”

Actually, Stager said based on the success of the previous two cookbooks, he had been pushing for an OMC Smokehouse Cookbook for a couple of years, but it seemed the perfect time for it when combined as a fundraiser for

“It’s a great demonstration of being creative in a crisis for supporting local businesses.”

Jodi Slick, founder/, CEO Ecolibrium3 the community.

“We love Lincoln Park,” Stager said.

“It’s sad to see the streets empty right now.”

Knowing what the shuttered businesses means to the larger community, the idea was to pre-sell the cookbook in an Indiegogo crowdsource campaign. For $25 you can buy the book, but pay $50 and you get the book upon its September release, purchase a $15 gift card from a West End business and give $10 to the Lifting Lincoln Park fund, which is managed by the nonprofit Ecolibrium3.

“It actually means three different

things,” said Jodi Slick, founder and CEO of Ecolibrium3. “The first is it’s a great demonstration of being creative in a crisis for supporting local businesses.

Two, it is also a demonstration of what has made the regeneration of Lincoln Park great, the fact that there has always been this collaborative atmosphere in and amongst the businesses.

“And the third thing is that the portion of the project that will go to Ecolibrium3 as a nonprofit is going to be used three different ways,” she said.

“We will work with businesses for joint marketing as businesses are able to open in the future. We’ll reach out and help

the Lincoln Park neighborhood where we find there are gaps being caused by the Covid-19 crisis. For example, just this week we worked with a number of businesses and organizations to provide 350 neighborhood children five breakfasts, lunches and snacks for this week because the school district isn’t providing because of spring break. It’s those kind of gaps that pop up and we need to figure out how to collaboratively solve.

“We’re also working with Main Street Lincoln Park,” Slick continued.

“Depending on the funds raised, if there is a small business with an emergency need, we’ll be able to help with that. (depending on the funds raised.)

We’re excited about the fact that I think people do love Lincoln Park and this is a very direct way to help this neighborhood.

“I think people are excited. They want to do something,” Lillegard said, noting that in just a few days the campaign was nearing its $50,000 goal. As of April 6, nearly $43,000 had been raised through 830 respondents, with the majority of them – 616 – paying the $50.

“We’re just starting the book, and every book has challenges,” Lillegard said. “I’m an optimist. I’ve done two cookbooks with these guys. I remember there were hard things, but I’ve forgotten wheat they are.”

While the cookbook is in its beginning stages, they needed something to show people what they had in mind.

“I was so impressed,” Lillegard said. “Beau Walsh from the Cultural North company did the sample cover.

He’s a really good designer. He also designs taste tester boxes for Duluth’s Best Bread. That’s just a sample cover.

It might not look like that, but we all like it. He had an idea and put it together really fast. He’s not even in the neighborhood, he’s just a good guy.”

Tea Cocktails Tempt at Spring Showers

LISA MESSINGER

Creators Syndicate The best kind of spring showers are wet, not from sprinkles of rain, but the pouring of innovative cocktails at bridal and baby showers. Tea infused into cool cocktails is a refreshing, delicious and healthful treat.

Haley and Lauren Fox, the sisters who dreamed up Alice’s Tea Cup, New York City’s hottest tea emporium, when they discovered their second location came with a liquor license, let their imaginations soar. Their recipes are easy to emulate at home.

A usually mint-filled white rum mojito gets a jolt from a Moroccan mint tea simple sugar. A berry martini, transforms into a “mar-tea-ni,,” as they’ve renamed it, boldly flavored with berry tea along with white cranberry juice and vodka.

Bellinis, juleps, brandy chais and other cocktails also get the treatment.

Be creative, the sisters advise, too, in inventing your own combinations, as tea only intensifies the other flavors it touches.

Here are some of their additional ideas to get you started. All of the adult beverages would be served on the rocks to have the iced tea effect. As you can see from the recipes that follow, both the amount of tea you use and the amount of water you use for brewing make a difference in the nuances of the gourmet outcomes.

How COVID-19 Impacts Wine Every day over the past couple of weeks, my inbox has been filled with notifications on winery tasting-room closures and offers of free shipping and by curbside pickup for those of us who still need our daily wine fix.

The wine industry is hurting, along with the rest of the U.S. economy, as businesses struggle to cope with operating restrictions made necessary by the spread of COVID-19.

The greatest impact will no doubt be visited upon boutique producers that cater to the on-premise market, meaning restaurants, which are largely shuttered throughout the nation.

But tasting-room closures are a big deal, too. For many wineries, they are an important profit center because wines can be sold at retail without any middlemen. And they provide daily cash flow.

Of equal concern are the hardships inflicted on tasting-room employees who’ve been laid off during the crisis.

“These are hourly employees, and most of them live paycheck to paycheck,” Napa Valley winemaker Joel Aiken told me in a recent conversation.

On the bright side, in my almost daily trips to the grocery store in search of basic necessities, I see shopping carts loaded to the brim with wine and all manner of other adult beverages. It gives me a sense of relief. If anything, wine consumption might be up. The wine industry is going to be all right.

Best Value 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.

Bianchi 2019 Malbec, Mendoza, Argentina ($19.99) — Malbec is still Argentina’s greatest contribution to the world of wine, and the Bianchi family does

DuluthReader.com

malbec extremely well. The 2019 is most impressive at this price point. It delivers a bold red that is rich and layered on the palate, showing ripe, juicy black fruits and a subtle hint of wood that provides additional structure and an inviting spice note. Rating: 90.

Georges Duboeuf 2019 Beaujolais Nouveau, France ($9.99) — The 2019 nouveau from Duboeuf, the so-called first wine of the harvest, is everything nouveau was meant to be: grapey, easy, simple and straightforward. A soft, supple fruit bomb won’t tax either the palate or the wallet. Nouveau tends toward the floral, and this one does just that. It’s an awesome spring and summer picnic wine, especially when served slightly chilled on a warm day. Rating: 87.

Tasting Notes Tongue Dancer 2017 ‘Pinot de Ville’ Pinot Noir, Putnam Vineyard, Sonoma Coast ($65) — The Tongue Dancer wines should come with a warning label that says simply, “Genius at work.” That would be winemaker James MacPhail, who launched Tongue Dancer with his wife, Kerry MacPhail, after selling the MacPhail label a few years ago. His genius is multifaceted. First of all, he sources grapes from the finest vineyards and growers in Sonoma County. Second, he gives those exceptional grapes plenty of TLC and proceeds to knock it out of the park. Every time. This vintage from the Putnam Vineyard in the Sonoma Coast is artfully crafted, with impressive fruit purity (think raspberry and cherry compote), exceptional balance and a finish that seems to be without end. The use of oak is delicate, imparting a subtle note of fall spice, and the tannins are perfect.

Rating: 97.

Archery Summit expresses itself in tones of raspberry and dark cherry with exquisite balance and beautiful structure that will ensure it ages well. The wine finishes a bit short, but the finish will lengthen as the tannins soften. There is a hint of wood spice that seems just about right.

Rating: 93.

Bortolomiol 2018 Prior Prosecco Superiore DOCG, Valdobbiadene, Italy ($23) — The beauty of vintage Prosecco is the price. It simply doesn’t cost that much more than nonvintage, but the experience tends to be noticeably more rewarding. The 2018 Prior from Bortolomiol is elegant and precise, with a beautiful bead, subtle notes of citrus and green apple, and a long, crisp finish. Rating: 91.

Merry Edwards 2017 Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast ($48) — If you’re looking to tap into the excellence of a Merry Edwards pinot noir but you find the tab for one of the winery’s single-vineyard

wines beyond your reach, take a look at the appellation-specific pinots that hit a lower price point. The 2017 Sonoma Coast shows a nose of strawberries, raspberries and wood spice, and the palate follows through on that promise. There is a bit of tannin bite on the back end, but that will mellow with additional age.

Rating: 90.

Vietti 2018 Roero Arneis DOCG, Piemonte, Italy ($24) — This vintage of Roero Arneis from Vietti is distinctly floral with an attractive note of white flowers and honeysuckle on the nose. On the palate, it expresses itself in layered tones of citrus, melon and stone fruit with mellow acidity and a soft, round finish. Rating: 90.

Dutton Goldfield 2017 Pinot Noir, Redwood Ridge, Sonoma Coast ($62) — This vintage of the Redwood Ridge pinot noir is another stunner from winemaker Dan Goldfield that offers exceptional depth, a floral top note and complex aromas of raspberry, strawberry and wood spice. Showing backbone, this is a pinot likely to improve as it matures. Drink now and over the next 10 years. Rating: 94.

Snags and Nurse Logs NATURAL CONNECTIONS by

EMILY STONE As old stumps and fallen logs decompose, they become the perfect place for tiny seeds to get their start. Photo by Emily Stone.

Although the depths of winter have passed, this is the season when we northerners really feel the cabin fever.

Gone are the freshly groomed tracks on the ski trails and dry, fluffy drifts. Now the weather alternates between slush and sleet. Warm days are lovely, of course, but they make the freezing temps that follow just a little more frustrating.

This year, mud season will be much harder. Without the option to travel south for a break, there’s a good chance some of us will go stir-crazy! One nice thing about living in the Northwoods, though, is that our vast natural areas provide us with excellent options for social distancing. The Forest Lodge Nature Trail is one of those options. This 1.5mile loop trail is dotted with numbered posts that correspond to an interpretive booklet. I’m updating that booklet this spring, and sharing the new text with you.

We started the trail by priming our senses: listening to birds, smelling sweetfern, and remembering the sweet taste of ripe blackberries. We walked through an old field crammed with young white pines just getting their start, and entered a dark, mature pine forest with huge stumps, reminding us of the big trees who once dominated the landscape.

In the midst of that mature pine forest, we now come upon the skeleton of a tree. Its bark lies in piles at its base. The top, and most branches, are gone. Holes

riddle its pale trunk.

Life after Death This old, dead tree was once a stately white pine. The low limbs on this snag are a clue that the pine was growing in a field. As the years went by, this tree’s seeds grew up to become many of the younger white pines in the surrounding forest.

Although this tree has been dead for many years, it still supports an abundance of life. Insects like carpenter ants tunnel through the trunk. Hairy, downy, and pileated woodpeckers can easily pick away at the soft wood in search of the larvae of ants and other insects. Big cavities house the nests of woodpeckers, chickadees, nuthatches, flying squirrels, and owls. Do you see the pile of pine cone bracts on the ground? A red squirrel sat there to shuck and eat the seeds out of pine cones. This animal’s trash heap is called a midden.

Before it died, only the outer layers of wood and bark, the twigs, the roots, and the needles of this tree were alive. Now the living, breathing cells of bacteria, fungi, and insects burrow through every inch of the trunk. Some ecologists say that a tree is more alive when it’s dead.

What do you think?

Nurse Stump or Nurse Log As old stumps and fallen logs decompose, they become the perfect place for tiny seeds to get their start. Mosses and lichens like this habitat, too. A balsam fir seed fell onto this stump. It found a good home with more sunlight, more nutrients, fewer fallen leaves, fewer dangerous bacteria, and enough moisture to grow.

The roots of the new tree will grow around the stump or log and into the ground. The old tree will continue to rot away. Eventually the log will be gone, and you will just see a funny-looking tree up on stilts!

As you continue down the trail, look for nurse stumps and logs and the new life they support.

Lichens and Mosses Do you see the green stuff on the bark of a nearby birch tree?

These mosses and lichens are using the tree trunk as a ladder to the sun. They do not harm the tree. Both organisms use sunlight to make food from water and carbon dioxide during a process called photosynthesis. Mosses often look feathery, fuzzy, or like tiny trees.

They are tiny, bright green plants with simple leaves that soak up water like a

sponge. Moss also dries out quickly, but that’s OK. When water returns, moss can spring back to life in as little as 20 minutes.

Lichens form through a partnership between a fungus and an alga.

The fungus provides the structure that holds them both onto the tree. Inside the structure, little cells of algae do photosynthesis and make sugars that feed them both. Lichens can be pale green, gray, black, yellow, or even bright orange. They can look like a leaf, a crust, or even tufts of hair. Without the algae, the fungus would starve. Without the fungus, the algae would blow away. Together they can grow on bare rocks and even survive in outer space. Despite their toughness, lichens will die if there is too much air pollution.

Continue looking for lichens and moss as you walk down the trail (or even into your own backyard). How many different kinds can you see?

Brown-Headed Cowbird NATURE by

RALPH LAPLANT

The cowbird is North America’s only parasitic bird. This male is competing with other males for an area to breed, while females look for other species’ nest to lay eggs. Ralph LaPlant Photo The Merriam-Wesbster Pocket dictionary defines parasite as “A plant or animal living in, on, or with some other plant or animal.” This definition truly fits the brown-headed cowbird, as it is North America’s only parasitic bird. It does not build a nest of its own, but occupies those of others.

The territory of this bird is about 10 to 50 acres and is used for mating and nesting. Depending on where the hosts’ nests are located, the cowbird may be territorial.

In open areas, where nests are sparse and located near woods edges, small flocks of males tend to stay put and the females cruise, looking for nests to occupy. In thick wooded areas, where there are more nests, they are territorial.

Females will compete with other females for territory during the morning, but have been seen feeding together later on in the same day.

In the open areas, males court by flocking and displaying to one another, competing for the area. The females are looking for nests to occupy at this time and will pair up with the male that is dominant in that particular area. In wooded areas, males tend to roam and females stay locally. As a result, females may mate with more than one male.

Unlike most birds, the female’s goal is to locate, not build a nest. Over 150 different species’ nests have been observed with brown-headed cowbird eggs in them!

DuluthReader.com

Females, from a high vantage point, usually in the morning, look over the area for other bird activity to locate nests. Others fly noisily into wooded areas trying to scare up nesting birds. Still another method is to walk on the ground looking for signs of nesting birds.

Once a nest is located, the cowbirds lay, as a rule, only one egg per nest.

These are brownish spotted eggs that are off-white in color. Incubation takes up to just shy of two weeks with the nestlings remaining in the nests for about 10 days.

With a short incubation period and a very rapid early-onset growth rate, they have an excellent chance of surviving in the nest of another species.

There is debate as to whether any of the hosts’ offspring survive once a cowbird lays an egg in their nest. Some experts say no and some say that since only one egg is laid, only one host’s fledgling dies.

Seeds consist of most of the cowbird’s diet (78%), and the rest is mainly insects and spiders (22%).

The brown-headed cowbird occupies all of Minnesota. These birds arrive in early March through May and although it is not known exactly, it is believed the majority leave the area in late June or July, with some leaving during the fall months.

They winter in southern States and Central America, although some are seen in the southern parts of Minnesota.

HINTS WITH HELOISE

Where is the spare?

Dear Heloise: Why are newer cars sold without a spare tire? I find that very dangerous, especially for women who could be stuck alone at night in a remote place! - Karen in Virginia Karen, yes, many automakers don’t include a spare tire. The reason? Auto makers must meet government mandated fuel economy standards. To achieve this, they make changes to decrease the weight of the vehicle, and eliminating the spare tire was just one of several solutions they had to consider. You can purchase a spare tire, along with a jack, at an auto parts store. - Heloise

HELOISE

Dear Heloise: Since hand sanitizer is in short supply these days, I keep a pair of thin gardening gloves in the door pocket of my SUV for when I pump gas. So now my gloves keep my hands safe from germs. Every time I pump gas using the gloves, as soon as I get back in the car, I remove them and put them in a plastic bag and bring them home to toss in the wash right away. - Trena in California Trena, this is a great idea, especially now when we must be extra careful. You might want to keep a spare pair just in case you have another errand the same day, such as using an ATM. - Heloise Avoid IRS scams Dear Readers: We have received a significant number of emails and letters from readers asking about IRS scams and how to avoid being a victim of fraudsters. Here are some hints to avoid the scammers: • Hang up on calls that claim to be from the IRS. An IRS agent is NOT going to contact you by text messages, social media or email. They typically send you a letter. Nor will they threaten you with police action, to drag you to jail or to deport you. Nor will they take away your Social Security.

• Never give out your Social Security number, no matter what they tell you.

• Beware of “ghost preparers.” A professional tax preparer must have an identification number, and they always

sign your return. Ghost tax preparers who are frauds won’t sign your return.

To check on whether your tax preparer has the right credentials, go to irs.treasury.gov/rpo/rpo.jsf.

• The IRS has an online resource where you can report identity theft at irs.gov/identity-theft-central.

Don’t ignore the Census Dear Readers: It’s Census time, when the formal count of the population of the entire United States is taken.

Our Founding Fathers wrote in the Constitution that every 10 years the population is to be counted.

So why is it important to know the population? Simply put, while every state has two Senators, the Census determines the number of seats each state will have in the House of Representatives, based on a state’s population. And the Census can help determine dollar distribution for government programs.

What questions will be asked? The number of people living with you, their ages, races, national origins, genders and their relation to you. You also will be asked whether you own your home or rent it. Don’t worry; your information is protected.

By now, you should have received something in the mail about the Census; don’t ignore it - by law, you must participate. You can respond online, by mail or by phone. If you haven’t responded, the Census Bureau will send someone to your home beginning in May. For more information, visit

McDonald’s wall collapses, Trump Intervenes time for that? I’m too busy at my job as a professional face-toucher.”

His pain is shared by the soapadverse Siorhan Nutreel. “I just want to return to a time when I wouldn’t be judged for wiping my ass with my bare hand and then immediately leaving to go back to serving chicken at KFC. It’s not like it’s going to change the taste of their chicken or destroy your digestive system any differently.”

Most filthy people have said that, once the crisis is over, they look forward to rubbing their pubic region before handling everything at the Cub Foods produce section.

On March 10, the retaining wall outside of the McDonald’s on London Rd. and 21st St. fell apart. Several in the community expressed that the collapse was no surprise and that the possibility had been brought up to the store. A manager who wished to not be named, said, “Alright, I’m not an engineer. I don’t know anything about retaining walls or the outlying structures of the property. All I’m here to do, really, is just make sure that if you ask for ketchup packets, you only get one in the bag.”

He added, “I also like to make sure that very late at night we like to totally screw up the drive-through orders so that when the customers get home, they are faced with either coming back here or they just have to eat what they get.” The manager laughed maniacally. “This is 2020

and we don’t care about things like retaining walls and ketchup packets and late-night order accuracy. If our employees even show up, we’re happy with that.”

The news of the retaining wall has apparently reached as far as President Donald Trump, who said, “There’s two things in the world that I love: walls, they should be everywhere, and McDonald’s, the chefs there are the best chefs, I’ve had them cater many of my personal dinners.”

Trump has diverted $5 billion from emergency coronavirus response funds to build a new retaining wall around the London Road McDonald’s, with the goal of keeping nearly everyone out. It will be accessible only by his helicopter.

Filthy people want to know when this hand-washing crap will end The coronavirus crisis has disrupted the daily lives of millions, but none more so than filthy people who want to return to not washing their hands.

The uncertainty is causing worry in many American squalors that are often confused with pigsties.

People torn between DNT, Budgeteer and Reader to wipe with With the recent run on buying out toilet paper in the nation due to coronavirus, many have found themselves in desperate means. “I’ve stopped at Wal-Mart, Target, even Barnes & Noble, and I can’t find a mega-pack of toilet paper anywhere,” said Ralph Bummaster.

“What is my family supposed to do?”

“I feel like I’ve failed my them as a man,” he continued, sobbing. “Then the idea came to me, there’s toilet paper, but in the end it’s just paper, and then I realized that there’s paper all around us, every day!”

He found around 200 Budgeteers on his front lawn that had just reemerged under the melted snow. “I told the family to all come out of the house, and I showed them that we were saved! We’d survive this pandemic after all!”

It turns out that Bummaster was not the only one with this idea for alternative means of wiping. “Some people have said they’ve had problems finding our papers recently,” said Reader Publisher Bob Boone. “We didn’t want to believe it at first, but it turns out that many many people have been stealing our publication off the racks for the purpose of,” Boone hesitated and then whispered, “wiping themselves.”

Boone went on to say how people have often used the Reader for bird cages, kitty box liners, firestarter for wood stoves and improvised body armor, but he has never seen such an impact on the distribution for the sole purpose of

being used as toilet paper.

A man named Willie Woodcox claims to not only have been using the Reader for toilet paper for years, he has also used several other publications. “A Budgeteer is good if you’re in a pinch, but I like to get my hands on the A&E section of the Duluth News Tribune when I can.

There’s nothing like the grit of a Tony Bennett album review between your cheeks. I have hemorrhoids, you see, so that raw Bennett ink really scratches that itch good right up in there. Those Paul Whyte reviews in the Reader were too smooth and didn’t really get the same bite, although they were pretty much shit, anyway.”

All three publications have expressed interest in putting a disclaimer saying “FOR READING USE ONLY,” although it is unlikely to dissuade people from continuing to use them for other purposes.

Batman visits Duluth, calls it “a total loss”

Gotham City, DCU. Returning from a trip to Duluth, a deeply shaken Dark Knight described Duluth as “the worst hellhole I’ve ever seen, and I’ve been to the dystopian alternate-dimension city of Apokolips.”

Among Batman’s complaints were Duluth’s streets. “Gotham literally had every bridge and major outlet bombed, and even their roads were smoother.

Does the Penguin have a controlling interest in your axle and shock-absorber industry?”

The Caped Crusader, who has seen his hometown of Gotham City destroyed by giant vultures, admitted that even that handsome billionaire Bruce Wayne could not keep up with Duluth’s profligate spending on the Aquarium or Spirit Mountain.

“Just to be clear,” said Batman, returning to the microphone to get another thing off his emblematic chest, “Gotham has had a city-wide contagion that killed thousands, an earthquake that left the city in anarchy, a freakin’ metal mountain that rose out of the middle of the city, and was once even turned into a giant swamp. And their citizens just ranked their standard of living ten points higher than Duluthians.

“I’m the World’s Greatest Detective, and even I can’t figure out why the hell anyone lives there.”

Teller suppresses laughter at your paycheck Duluth, MN. According to his co-workers, a local bank teller successfully held back peals of laughter upon seeing how much money you make, despite the fact that your entire annual salary can fit into Donald Trump’s tiny hands.

“Maybe I can chalk it up to experience,” says First Union employee Chevy Banks. “I mean, you’ve been coming in here with that peasant’s wage for a deathly long time now, and it’s really more pathetic than anything.”

Banks elaborated, even after you told him that you got the point already, “I mean, who overdrafts a check for gum? Seriously, the paper your check is printed on is worth more than your savings account. You’re a loser with loose change. Loose change for the loser!”

Banks said he still reserves the right to grin when depositing your check, “which doesn’t even cover the cost of my labor.”

Cancer doctor’s human worth calculated by Instagram likes Minneapolis, MN. Doctor Zhang Hu, an oncologist who has developed new ways to treat various types of cancer, has failed to obtain a satisfactory number of Instagram followers, calling into question his value as a human being, says the Internet.

“He posted a picture of his meat loaf,

and he got a total of three likes from us,” says the online community in disgust. “And one of them was from his wife, so that doesn’t even count. This guy may have developed a groundbreaking vaccine-based immunotherapy, but he’s clearly a loser when it comes to social-media respectability.”

Dr. Hu’s unpopularity may cost him his job as a clinical researcher at the University of MN. Speaking for the school, dean Martin Ann-Lewis said, “Unless this guy does a TikTok video that shows lots of ass, he could soon be jobless and broke, eating rats in an alleyway instead of experimenting on them. Come to think of it, I would pay to see that. I mean, that’s a video that could go viral.”

Americans may soon wear “Impossible” meat-free clothing Following the success of Burger King’s plant-based “Impossible” Whopper, scientists now believe that we may soon be sporting “Impossible” clothes made from plants, such as cotton or linen, instead of the slabs of uncooked meat that most Americans currently wear.

“Damn AOC wants me to go nekkid,” says local resident Drulen Moran, dressed to the nines in his cotto salami seersucker suit. “Well, she’ll have to pry my bacon belt off my cold, dead groin!”

Most people we asked agreed that meat-free clothing was a Leftist conspiracy, perhaps because we interviewed

only those people on our Facebook friends list that we don’t know.

“I think it’s a plot by the New World Order,” says Feller Schiess, who says he’s perfectly comfortable in the skin-tight bologna biking shorts and plunging T-shirt made of chicken fat. “It’s just not a sunny Minnesota day unless I get all nice and rancid.”

Tara Hoelinmubut is also skeptical, standing outside naked except for the offal she smeared all over her body. “If you don’t love the smell of raw meat slowly melting off your privates, then go back to Venezuela, commie, cuz this is America!”

Apple develops Coronavirus test app

Apply the saliva sample onto a pane of clear glass, then select iPhoto to photograph the backlit sample. Select the app and results will be displayed in one of two universal symbols: thumbs up or skull and crossbones.

Currently the app is not compatible with Android phones. “Unfortunately, there is a glitch in the code that causes Android phones to incorrectly deliver the skull and crossbones symbol one in three times,” Cook acknowledged.

Jim Fowler, a plow driver for the City of Duluth is happy that after months of hard work, things look like they’re finally in the clear. “I’ve never seen anything like it that early in the season,” said Fowler, “but I’m happy to say, these streets are finally fit to drive on again.” Fowler has been working diligently on removing the snow from the storm that hit back in late November. “After some warm 50 degree days and several months, I can say that the hard work has paid off and we finally have made some notable progress on that storm. Sure, there’s still some really bad potholes, but we’ve got the snow under control.”

Mayor Emily Larson gave a statement, “I know there has been a lot of negativity about our response, but overall, I appreciate your patience with us getting the snow removed from November’s storm in a fairly timely manner. I mean, Don Ness would probably be just giving the key to the city to some band like Ween or Weezer, or whatever, but I haven’t rested since that storm, trust me. I am just as tired and confused about it as any of you.” The Mayor promised that nothing like those events would ever happen again until at least October of this year, barring perhaps a late April

storm, which might significantly impact the summer tourist season.

The CDC announced new guidelines today calling for Americans to avoid holding book clubs that include 10 or more lepers, adding, “Even nine isn’t exactly ideal.”

CDC spokesman Dizz Cease explained, “I know it’s ‘hip’ or ‘groovy’ to have lepers at your book club, but we’re asking the public to sacrifice a little. Maybe just ease a leper or two out at a time, until you’re down to just a token leper.”

Book club president and anthrax sufferer Mildred Moldred did not take the news well. “Have you tried holding a book club with fewer than three lepers? The whole point is to drink wine and throw around loose body parts.”

Needless to say, all book clubs are suspended in Two Harbors.

Landlord in tight bind

Man hopes people will join him on his sailboat this year For the last several years a man named Jeffery Blondsmith has pursued his love of sailing on the Great Lake of Superior. “Oh, it’s so wonderful to just be out there on that lake, I get the boat ready as soon as the temperature starts to warm up.”

While a self-proclaimed sailing enthusiast, Blondsmith admits that he hasn’t traveled more than two miles out of the Duluth harbor. “Well, last summer, I had some friends and we were all supposed to meet at noon and make it as far as Cornucopia, or maybe even Bayfield, it was a beautiful summer day. Several people were supposed to go, but 12 hours later, around midnight, no one had showed up yet. It was sometime after 2 a.m., after bar close that they showed up, and they were really drunk. We were about to set sail and then one of them just started puking all over the boat.

I told them they had to leave. I was cleaning up all that vomit until 6 a.m.” Blondsmith is hopeful he’ll find someone to make it out of the harbor by at least sundown this year.

We talked to a woman who was working three jobs as a cleaner, dishwasher and “Cam Girl” named Eve: “Even with all of these jobs, I can’t afford to keep clothes on my two children’s backs, I work all the time and I’m just so sad, my husband works two jobs and hates it when I sell myself online, but he knows that’s the only way we can get little Justin’s medications.”

“That libtard whore should get a better job!” said Screwem, when asked about Eve’s situation. “I’ve been living just fine off my steel mill trust! People need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps! It’s the American way!”

Over half of Screwem’s tenants don’t know if they’ll be able to meet next month’s rent. Screwem conceded, “I might lower the rent down to $900 to get someone new in.”

Mankato, MN. A woman whose husband often traps her beneath the bed sheets and forcing her smell his farts has turned the form of playful torture into a smelly opportunity, using her last imprisonment in the “Dutch oven” to make bitterballen, a traditional Dutch snack.

“When life gives you a fart, make it fart-tastic,” says Grace Yeppers, holding a plate of the Dutch-style meatballs that her spouse’s gassy ass helped heat to perfection. “If you’re going to be cooked in a confined space by toxic fumes, you may as well cook a delicious meal. I mean, they taste like farts, but Scandinavians put lutefisk in their mouths, so that’s not an obstacle.”

Unfortunately, upon closer inspection, the bitterballen appear to be dayold dingleberries, as Grace’s exposure to large amounts of methane have given her severe brain damage.

Wisconsin Supreme Court Opens the First “ATM for Justice” The Wisconsin Supreme Court is moving into the 21st century with automated court rulings. The new program will utilize state-of-the-art ATM type machines.

The “ATM for Justice” machines will be much more efficient and deliver case decisions immediately.

Justice Daniel Kelly says the automated machines will totally eliminate any chance that a liberal justice might “legislate from the bench.” The new technology works because the Supreme Court’s conservative majority has predetermined every case based on their “judicial philosophy.” No inefficient, time consuming arguing of the facts of the case are necessary.

Plaintiffs simply enter their campaign contribution, select general topic (screwing workers, keeping women in their place, protecting the freedom of multinational corporations, etc.) and select the desired ruling. The ATM prints a tax deductible receipt and the case decision.

Justice Kelly praised the system for returning the court to the “original intent of the Founding Fathers” – making money.

Pentagon Announces Creation of the National Strategic Waste Reserve The Pentagon can not spend all the money Congress has appropriated in recent years. With total national security spending soaring past $1.25 trillion for FY 2021, they just can’t keep up.

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Staff, General Mark Milley says war planners

DuluthReader.com

are working overtime to manufacture enemies and create new wars but the avalanche of new money is just too big to handle. He says, “All the armed services are doing their patriotic best to spend more. The F-35 fighter – which doesn’t work as well as the older F-16 – is wasting $1.5 trillion. The $7.8 billion Zumwalt class destroyer is running six years late and the main gun weapon system doesn’t even work.” The Pentagon has thrown trillions into the sand of the Middle East but just can’t spend enough. With 800 bases in 143 countries, DOD has run out of countries to build new military bases.

Creating the Africa and Space commands isn’t enough to solve the problem.

General Milley says the solution is to store waste for future lean times. “At some point people may get a clue and cut off the endless flow of money. This could be disastrous for the war economy.” The National Strategic Waste Reserve will ensure future wasteful spending and protect our American way of life.

Republicans Introduce Legislation to Eliminate Elections Republicans introduced legislation this week to eliminate “inefficient” democratic elections. For years Republicans have discouraged people from voting with voter ID laws, purging of voter registration lists, gerrymandering, and denying felons the right to vote. Republicans have opposed limiting campaign contributions and made political campaigns as ugly as possible to turn off potential voters. So the new proposal is simply taking election fraud and manipulation to its logical conclusion.

Recent research shows politicians don’t pay any attention to the opinions of voters anyway. If they did, the country would look radically different – marijuana would

“When the preferences of economic elites and ...organized interest groups are controlled for, the preferences of the average American appear to have only a minuscule, near-zero, statistically non-significant impact upon public policy....the majority does not rule” (from a real study – not satire).

Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) said, “Voting is just a hassle for people and costs too much. Besides people are really dumb and if allowed to vote would make the wrong choices. What is good for big corporations is good for America!”

Good Samaritan Accused of Being a “Socialist” A recent Facebook video tells the story of Lena Q. Publicsky who got COVID-19 but didn’t have health insurance. She turned to Go Fund Me for help. The Southern Baptist televangelist told her “God helps those who help themselves.”

The hospital CEO wouldn’t help. He had to serve stockholders. Tom Tiffany, Republican candidate for Wisconsin’s 7th Congressional district, said “Competition and the free market would lower costs so everyone could afford to go to the doctor” (this is really on his web site). So Lena’s fund raising didn’t work well.

But Tricia Zunker, the Democratic candidate did try to help. She proposed having single-payer, universal health insurance so this wouldn’t happen again.

She said, “No one should die because they can’’t afford to go to the doctor; people should not go bankrupt because they can’t afford their medication. We need to ensure everyone has access to quality, affordable health care” (a real statement).

Tom Tiffany attacked this good Samaritan approach as “socialism.” As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to grow and meltdown the economy, Tiffany says he will continue “to protect Wisconsin families from the greatest danger we face –

creeping socialism!”

Trump Orders End to Pandemic President Trump issued an executive order today officially ending the pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic will end on Easter Sunday, April 12, 2020 at 12:01 AM. “America will again — and soon — be open for business,” Trump said in the news conference.

“Our country wasn’t built to be shut down,” Trump said. “We cannot let the cure be worse than the problem itself.” Trump brushed off concerns about people dying from the virus. “It’s time” he said, “People want to get back to work.” (all quotes are actual statements).

Gullibility Index Hits Record High For 244 straight years the American Gullibility Index has gone up. Since the election of Donald Trump in 2016, the index hit record highs soaring to 25,017 in early 2020. Started by Benjamin Franklin in 1776, the index measures the susceptibility of American citizens to religious claptrap, marketing hype, consumer scams, political manipulation, and similar cons.

Dr. Bo Vine Schitt, current director of the Index say, “As we all know is that it is easier to believe than to think. Americans are particularly susceptible to believing lies, conspiracy theories, and fake news of all kinds.”

Professor Kurt Andersen, author of “Fantasyland: How America Went Haywire,” (a real book and not satire) says, “Fantasy is deeply embedded in our national psyche.”

His book reviews 500 years of American delusional behavior. The country was founded by religious nut jobs and getrich-quick schemers and has had many true believers, hucksters, and suckers. So what’s happening in our country today – the post-factual, “fake news” and shameless lies – is nothing new. Anderson writes, [Only in America does]”..science and reason remain undocumented immigrants, so to speak, tolerated but not embraced.”

Perunovich awaits word on Hobey Baker Award One of my long-time associates in the world of hockey noted last week that Scott Perunovich signed a contract to pass up his final year of eligibility at UMD and turn pro with the St. Louis Blues. He asked me what I thought of Perunovich.

“Scott Perunovich has been the best reason for anyone to watch any hockey game at any level, for the three years he was at UMD,” I said.

Pretty simple. And true. There are a lot of outstanding players in college hockey these days, many of them teammates with Perunovich, the junior defenseman from Hibbing. But you can go to any college game – back when there were college games to watch – and you could watch and note certain players who rose up to make an outstanding play to score a goal, or to set one up.

There are so many good players that it seems as though you could open the mold and pour out another one. Very impressive, in total. But in most cases, pouring another player out of a cookiecutter mold is impressive, but somehow lacks the style, the flair, and the outright magnetism of Scott Perunovich.

Magnetism is the operative word, because if you went to the game without knowing any of the players, you would spot Perunovich soon enough, but you would have wasted a lot of game-time.

The thing to do was to go to the game and always notice when Perunovich came on, and then never take your eyes off him. Just to see if you might see something you’ve never seen before.

Perunovich wore No. 7 for the Bulldogs, and his three years have been nothing short of sensational. As a freshman, he was one of five rookies to join sophomore Nick Wolff on a defense that, on paper, doomed the Bulldogs to a rebuilding year. Instead, UMD won the NCAA title, by surprise, and Perunovich, a quickstriking puck-rusher who could shoot with the best of them but who could pass even better, to set up open teammates for big goals.

Perunovich led UMD in scoring that freshman year, which still astounds observers, because how often in college hockey history has a defenseman led a team in scoring, and how often in college hockey history has a freshman led a team in scoring, and how often in college

hockey history has a freshman defenseman ever led an BCAA championship team in scoring.

It doesn’t happen, but Perunovich made it happen with UMD. Last season, Perunovich was leading the way again until he got injured, and missed several games. The Bulldogs were a surprise no longer, and while his injury may have prevented an NCHC title run, he came back and played at limited capacity as the Bulldogs again went into the NCAA regional, won it, and then won their second NCAA title in a row.

At last year’s tournament time, I asked Perunovich how close he was to 100 percent, and he said “about 90 percent.”

It was a fib, and as soon as this, his junior season began, it was obvious what the difference would be between last spring’s Perunovich and a healthy one. So I asked him again, now that he’s 100 percent, when he looks back to last season, how close was he?

“Probably about 65 percent,” he admitted. In fact, because he knew he hadn’t finished with the flair he intended, he was determined to return to UMD and put his full talent on display.

What we were able to witness will be stenciled on all our memories. UMD made a strong run at the NCHC title, and finished one victory short of North Dakota. That put the Bulldogs in a stronger position than either of the last two seasons, and I was convinced that this team was the best of the last three UMD teams and would win its third straight NCAA title. Scott Perunovich was the primary reason for my optimism.

A lot of times when a player scores a lot and most of his points are assists, you wonder how many of those were what they now call “secondary” assists, or maybe tack-on gifts. Nobody ever questioned a Scott Perunovich assist, however, because he absolutely took over command of a game’s tempo. That is not easy to do.

Back in the late 1970s and early ‘80s, I had the pleasure of watching two young brothers come out of Roseau High School to attend the University of Minnesota.

Neal Broten came out in 1978 and coach Herb Brooks called him the most talented freshman he’d ever seen. Broten helped a powerful Gopher team go to the NCAA

UMD defenseman Scott Perunovich set up shop next to goalie Hunter Shepard, before stepping up to deliver a pinpoint pass. Photo credit: John Gilbert championship, chipping a diving shot into the North Dakota goal to win the title game. Then he went along with Brooks to glory at the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, where he was the second-youngest player on the Miracle on Ice team.

Neal Broten had an incredible ability to sitickhandle down the ice at great speed, and as you watched him lead the rush, he might throw what looked like a throwaway pass, and you’d say, “What’s he doing? Oh…nice pass.” His ability was a radar-like anticipation of where all his teammates were at all times, and he would make a pass to an open winger before you noticed the winger was open.

A year later, his brother, Aaron, came to Minnesota, and was a similar star, if you looked at the point tallies. Aaron was an entirely different player. A little bigger, a little stronger, with a little bit of a harder shot, even with the same deft ability to anticipate and use his teammates.

The difference was that Aaron would get the puck, and if he sensed he had 3

seconds before a foe confronted him, he might use up 2.8 of those seconds and then make a perfect pass.

Neal set the tempo of the game at ultrafast, while Aaron regulated the tempo of the game by slowing the pace down in mesmerizing fashion and then capitalizing with a perfect play.

You can imagine why they were so good together when Neal came back from the Olympics and went back together with brother Aaron and Butsy Erickson on an all-Roseau line.

In 1981, Neal Broten won the first Hobey Baker Award for being the best player in college hockey, after scoring 17 goals, 54 assists, for 71 points in 36 games. Aaron played 45 games and scored 47 goals with 59 assists for a Gopher single-season record 106 points, and didn’t win any awards, but he was awesome.

Flash forward 40 years. The puck is thrown into the UMD end, and Hunter Shepard, the best goaltender in the country, goes behind the net to tee it up. Scott Perunovich arrives and scoops it up, but

he doesn’t go tearing off down the ice.

Instead, he steps out to the side of the goal, as the first forechecker arrives in front, and he does everything he can to lure that forechecker to chase him, so he can use the net as a screen. As the years have gone by, opposing forecheckers are less and less likely to chase the elusive Perunovich.

When they do, he either takes off at a high rate of speed, or, more likely, steps out and then fires a 100-foot pass, right onto the tape of a teammate’s stick, igniting a rush that leads to a goal.

Sometimes Perunovich’s process takes only a few seconds. Other times he will wait back there, and wait, and wait some more, until 15 or 20 seconds have ticked away and the forechecker is about to explode. Incredibly, Perunovich can slow the game to an absolute standstill, and then make a devastating play.

Yes, Perunovich ended up with 6 goals and 34 assists for 40 points to lead UMD in scoring, and he also led the entire NCHC in scoring, and was named the league’s top offensive defenseman, and the league’s top player, as well.

DuluthReader.com

At one point in the season, spanning four games, Perunovich had either a goal or an assist on nine consecutive goals scored by the Bulldogs, and 11 out of 12.

In baseball, if you’re in the game you get your turns at bat; in hockey, you have to create all of your own scoring opportunities, and it is close to incomprehensible that a player could figure into nine consecutive goals.

At the end of the season, UMD’s closing rush lifted them to one game short of North Dakota. The Bulldogs went 9-1 at the end, and in those final 10 games, Perunovich had 2-9–11.

For the whole season, UMD finished 22-10-2. In games where Perunovich was shut down without a point, the Bulldogs were 5-7; in games where he scored at least one point, UMD was 17-3-2. He was selected as NCHC defenseman of the week five times, and, playing with cocaptain Nick Wolff on the top defensive tandem, Perunovich’s defensive play showed 43 blocked shots, and a plus-12.

Wolff led the league with 58 blocked shots and was a plus-17, meaning the tandem blocked 101 blocked shots,

something Shepard greatly appreciated.

With all the world’s sports on a seemingly endless holding pattern, the sports media types are trying to come up with replays and contests to determine the best of this and the best of that. When it comes to UMD’s fantastic stable of defensemen back through the history of the program, Scott Perunovich steps up to join the likes of Tom Kurvers, Norm Maciver and Curt Giles as perhaps the best four defensemen in UMD history.

The Hobey Baker Award started after Curt Giles had moved on to the NHL, but Kurvers won it, and Maciver should have. That honor is still lurking out there for Perunovich.

Perunovich, already named All-America for the third straight year, will find out along with all the rest of us at the end of this week whether or not he wins this year’s Hobey Baker Award as the nation’s best college hockey player.

Signings leave holes in lineup Nick Wolff, who lost the perfect finish to his senior year, has signed a contract with the Boston Bruins for this fall. Scott

Perunovich then signed an entry-level contract with the St. Louis Blues that will either start immediately if the current season resumes, or start next fall if it doesn’t.

Center Justin Richards also chose to sign a free-agent contract with the New York Rangers, right after being named NCHC defensive forward of the year.

And the latest to go is Dylan Samberg, junior defenseman who joins the Winnipeg Jets for a three-year offer.

Perunovich, Samberg and Richards are leaving with one year of eligibility remaining, which gives coach Scott Sandelin some interesting options. One scenario would be that Sandelin could bring in Hermantown High School star Blake Biondi immediately, to plug in at center for one of four slots left open by Richards’ departure. And defenseman Wayne Kaiser of Andover could conceivably make the jump as another of the more polished high school players committed to UMD.

enjoy YouTube, with its epic old video clips of Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, and on into the fantastic repertoire of country music.

We also enjoy getting out into the great outdoors whenever possible, which is preciously rare these days.

One thing we’ve done a few times is to go for an in-car picnic up the North Shore. Joan makes the best sandwiches, and the first time we tried it, we decided to drive as far as Castle Danger, because then we could call ahead and order a couple of pieces of carrot cake at the Rustic.

Now, the Rustic has the best pies in the universe, but Beth Sullivan also sneaks in a carrot cake now and then, and it is, without question, the best carrot cake on earth.

So we brought along our own Perrier, did a curb-service purchase of a couple of enormous pieces of carrot cake, and went off to park at a scenic spot overlooking Lake Superior and had our feast.

The Rustic pies are also sold at Whole Foods, and some at Mount Royal grocery. We’ve gotten them there, although we much prefer the drive along the shore to get them.

Turns out, however, the Rustic has closed its curbside service for now.

And we can only hope the pandemic disappears before the urge for pie or cake overwhelms us.

Among our other curbside treasures to eat were found at Blackwoods, where you can call ahead for a couple

of exceptional bowls of soup, or, our favorite, the glazed meatloaf dinner.

Also, we took a run over the bridge to Superior and went to Gronk’s, where we had ordered the upside-down-burger special, which is two for the price of one, with the best french fries in the Upper Midwest.

And we always love the Kung Po chicken at Beijing, on London Road.

And when it’s all over, if you time it right you can get out to 19th Ave,.

W. and Superior St., to Luv Creamery, where Nicole and her staff will sell you a cone of the best ice cream you’ve ever tasted, or a pint of salted caramel or coconut-almond fudge.

Next door, Corktown Deli is closed tight. So is OMC Smokehouse across the street, as is the Duluth Grill.

We also went off in search of other curb pickup meals around the Twin Ports, and we parked way out on the western end of Skyline Drive to go for a mile long hike. It was very neat, until we got back near the parking area and looked over the edge.

There, on the steep hill below, some of our fine citizens have chosen to dump everything and anything you can imagine. Debris, garbage, a full mattress — everything. There is no reason for anyone to do that, and there is also no reason for it to build up, like a civic dump, high on the hillside to make Skyline Drive resemble a junkyard or garbage dump. It was a great drive, and walk, but the unseen “ambience” over the edge ruined it.

There are other tidbits of sports news in the Twin Ports. One of the most disturbing items is that Bob Nygaard, who first joined the UMD sports information staff 37 years ago, and who became sports information director 31 years ago, was summarily dismissed by the administration. Nygaard, after 37 years, was summoned to a meeting that didn’t include athletic director Josh Berlo, and told that his position of associate athletic director in charge of publications was being eliminated. So long, Bob. The claim is that the decision was made back in December as part of a budget cutback, but not many other schools with Division 1 hockey – and the possibility of its sixth Hobey Baker Award winner – is without an SID.

I have gone from full days of hockey games and activity to no games or activity. Some of the sports networks are doing their best to fill in with games from yesteryear, some I have watched, some I haven’t.

I’m fortunate to have other interests, and they are keeping me occupied and busy, but I won’t lie to you, I’d love to see some college or pro puck right now.

We are now at the two week-no hockey marker now, but I’m holding in there.

How long can I do that before going stir crazy? I’m not sure, but I can tell you that if I see one more idiotic car insurance commercial on TV, somethings going to break. (my brain or TV) Having spent several years in the sales-marketing world I used to marvel at some of the well crafted ad campaigns of the past. I came to appreciate a truly good effort at building name brand recognition (not very easy) and maintaining it. Today, at least in the auto insurance game, it seems that the ability for a company to make that mental imprint upon the consumers mind is reliant upon creating the stupidest commercial possible. In their mind the potential consumer will go around loathing that ad for the rest of the day the ad was observed but if a mental imprint of the company and their product or service is achieved, their objective is accomplished. When the time arrives that a consumer has a need for that product

or service, they hope their company name implantation will work before their competition.

For me, I’ve only ever done business with two car insurers in my life.

The quality of their service has gained them a lifetime of loyalty from me.

When I see these dumb spots now the first thing I think is how much less my annual premium be without these moronic multi-million dollar TV ad campaigns. My ultimate dream right now is to see Flo from Progressive driving a steamroller down the street, eventually running over the Geico green lizard and the Liberty Mutual Emu. Make ‘em both flat, just like in the cartoons. There are other offenders, but those three are the standouts at this point. Geez… maybe I’m cracking after all.

arrested and charged with receiving stolen property. [Associated Press, 3/18/2020] Awesome!

Wishful Thinking Police in Las Cruces, New Mexico, who approached a woman driving a stolen car on March 7 were surprised when she identified herself as pop singer Beyonce Knowles, according to police documents. The Las Cruces Sun News reported officers had to use a fingerprint scanner to properly identify Surena Henry, 48. Henry at first ignored police when they tried to pull her over, according to court documents, but they followed her to her home, where she got out of the car but refused to give them her name. She was charged with stealing the vehicle, concealing her identity and resisting arrest. [Las Cruces Sun News, 3/10/2020] Update News of the Weird reported in July 2017 about Jeff Reitz of Huntington Beach, California, who at that time had just achieved his 2,000th visit to Disneyland in Anaheim. Since then, Reitz, 47, has continued his daily visits -- until March 13, when Disney closed its theme parks in response to the COVID-19 outbreak.

Reitz was just short of 3,000 visits, the Orange County Register reported, at 2,995. “The streak’s been ended,” Reitz said. He does not plan to continue his consecutive streak when the park reopens. “On the negative side, I didn’t get to choose the end,” he said. “But on the positive side, I didn’t have to choose the end.” While he’s practicing social isolation, Reitz plans to watch some movies

on ... you guessed it, Disney Plus.

[Orange County Register, 3/17/2020] People Are Good Just a few hours after Harris County, Texas, declared that all bars and nightclubs would have to close on March 16, an anonymous diner at Irma’s Southwest restaurant in downtown Houston did their best to help out. The customer, who left a $9,400 tip, wrote on the receipt: “Hold tip to pay your guys over the next few weeks.” United Press International said Irma’s will split the tip among the employees, giving them each about $300. [United Press International, 3/17/2020] I Hate When That Happens Sage Aaron Cummins, 24, of Gallup, New Mexico, woke up one recent morning and found he had two TVs in his room that had not been there the day before. Two days later, he found out an acquaintance was missing two TVs and put two and two together. According to Gallup police, Cummins returned to the victim’s apartment with the goods and approached an officer who was there investigating the burglary report. He told the officer he had been “very intoxicated” when he knocked on a door that evening and, when no one answered, he entered the home, but he didn’t remember what happened after that. Cummins told police he “wanted to make things right and return the stolen items,” according to the Associated Press. Nevertheless, he was

When Alexandria Miller, 28, of Chicago, Illinois, won a two-inch goldfish at a carnival in July 2018, she assumed he would stay the same size. But since then, Gerald the goldfish has grown to be 12 inches long, and Miller has spent $1,300 upgrading his tanks to accommodate him (she’s already looking for a bigger one). And, the Mirror reported, Gerald is not shy about getting his needs met. “He does lay around a lot, but it seems when he’s bored or hungry, he jumps out of the water and likes to grab the thermometer inside his tank,” Miller said. “He’ll click it against the glass till he’s got our attention.” But, she went on, “If I put a smaller fish in there with him, he will eat them.” [Mirror, 3/17/2020] Signs of the Times • During the COVID-19 crisis, some people in Japan have resorted to pilfering toilet paper from public restrooms when the rolls became unavailable in stores. One convenience store worker put the power of the supernatural to work against such thefts. Mink Itachibe, who works at a store in the Niigata prefecture, hung signs with images of eyes and kanji characters in front of the toilet paper to curse the tempting rolls. “I did it as a joke, but it seems to have worked,” she told CNN. The symbols imply that if someone nips TP from the store, a hungry monster will hunt them down and gobble them up. “People can be quite superstitious in Japan,” Itachibe said. [CNN, 3/12/2020] • Add to the list of things not to leave in plain sight in your car: toilet paper. Police in Eugene, Oregon, stated that on March 15, a thief shattered the entire back window of an SUV in order to get his mitts

on two 30-roll cases of toilet paper, along with other valuables, the Blaze reported. “Anytime vehicles are left unattended for extended periods of time, local thieves view it as a favorable opportunity,” police reminded Oregonians. [Blaze, 3/19/2020] Compelling Explanation Slidell, Louisiana, police pulled over a driver on Feb. 27 for an undisclosed reason, but the car’s license plate really got their attention. The tag had expired in September 1997 -more than 20 years ago -- the Miami Herald reported. “Sorry, officer,” police said the man told them. “I’ve been busy lately and totally forgot to renew my vehicle registration. I will take care of it as soon as I get home!” Slidell police posted the incident to their Facebook page, commenting: “For those of you who like to ‘switch tags,’ at least give us a good challenge.” [Miami Herald, 3/5/2020] Government in Action In 1993, Alabama banned yoga in public schools under a general prohibition of the use of “hypnosis and dissociative mental states.” Now, Rep. Jeremy Gray has proposed a bill that would let schools offer yoga as an elective class, but religious groups are expected to fight it. “It’s the Hindu religion,” said Joe Godfrey of the Alabama Citizens Action Program. But Gray is hoping the general acceptance of yoga will prevail. “I really don’t see what the big deal is,” he told NBC News. “I mean, my wife does this, my mother does this on the floor of her Methodist church.”

[NBC News, 3/6/2020] Florida Cody Hicks, 23, was reportedly driving erratically and crashed into another car on March 13 in Manatee County, Florida - in itself, not weird.

But what he did next perplexed the two young women in the car and onlookers. According to the Mana-

D

tee County Sheriff’s Office, Hicks emerged from his vehicle, pulled down his pants and underwear, and fondled himself while sticking out his tongue at witnesses. ClickOrlando.com reported deputies said Hicks would only tell them, “I want my lawyer.” He was arrested for a lewd and lascivious exhibition and entered a plea of not guilty.

“So many people look forward to coming to Deerfield during this time of year,” said organizer Nick Pulver, “[but] I think we made the best decision to delay it.” Organizers hope to postpone it to May 9. The 300 pounds of delectables that were ordered for the festival have been frozen. [Metro, 3/19/2020] Compelling Explanations

Ah, Snap PSA: The Deerfield, Michigan, American Legion has been forced by COVID-19 restrictions to cancel its annual testicle-eating festival, which was to take place on March 21. The big event, which draws 2,000 locals and visitors to Deerfield every year, offers deep-fried cattle genitals (also known as mountain oysters) and chicken gizzards, Metro reported.

• In June, Dieter Uchtdorf, a high official in the Mormon Church, said the historic narrative of Mormon founder Joseph Smith’s use of a “seer stone” to translate the “golden plates” that gave Smith ultimate worldly knowledge has been authenticated, basically, by the 2007 invention of the iPhone. “I can get the collected knowledge of the world through a few little inputs,” said Uchtdorf, and thus it is likelier than

“Pheromone parties” attract men and women seeking romance, not via often-insincere conversation, but based on the primal-scent signals emitted by each other’s slept-in Tshirts. Organizers have staged parties in New York City and Los Angeles and plan to expand, according to a June (2012) Associated Press report.

The organizers’ initial conclusion: People prefer lovers with a somewhat-different genetic makeup than their own, but not too different.

• Geoffrey Fortier, 23, was arrested in Craighead County, Arkansas, in July and charged with video voyeurism of a woman he had allowed to shower in the home occupied

by Fortier and his girlfriend. After the woman stepped out of the shower, she noticed a logged-on iPad propped against a wall. Fortier informed deputies that it was all a misunderstanding – that he had earlier recorded himself urinating in order to sell the video to a urinationfetish website, and he simply forgot to remove the device.

Area ghost tales featured in ‘Gravedigger Dave’s’ now streaming on Amazon Prime Until very recently, I had lost faith in locally produced ghost story anthologies, largely because of one I saw a few years back that was produced by a group of ghostbusters. It took them seven years from start to finish and it was still riddled with mistakes that should have been caught.

Then I saw Keith Hopkins’ Gravedigger Dave’s Halfway House, which anthologizes stories from the Northland with a Cryptkeeper-like host, and was, frankly, charmed by the work.

Matt Rasmussen has great energy and drive in the role of Gravedigger Dave.

He has a creepy charisma that makes for an excellent glue to hold together the unconnected tales of the paranormal.

Those tales, we are told, are a mix of true and fictional accounts of paranormal encounters, featuring locaby tions as diverse as the Ely Steak House, Norshor Theater, the Lake Superior Railroad Museum, former U.S. Steel cargo ship William A. Irvin, and the Greyhound Bus Museum in Hibbing, all of which are purportedly haunted. The segment on the railroad museum at the Duluth Depot includes a photo of an uninvited young guest cowering in a corner at a wedding held there.

We are also invited into a couple of private homes for creepy encounters.

One of those is clearly a fictional tale

MOVIE REVIEW

JIM LUNDSTROM

Director Keith Hopkins of a crabby roommate who finds an old Royal typewriter with an “Undo” key that undoes her bad behavior. Unbeknownst to her, the Undo button can only undo 10 situations for each owner, and a creepy finger countdown tells us how many she has left. Her 11th bad deed has fatal consequences.

We are also introduced to several members of the Duluth Paranormal Club, a group of hobbyist (meaning unpaid) investigators of the strange. We learn of several investigations they’ve conducted, including aboard the Irvin and 48 hours spent at the Nopeming Sanitorium, which opened in 1912 to treat tuberculosis patients and operated as such until 1971 when it was converted to a nursing home for the aged.

It was closed in 2002 and since then has been the subject of many paranormal investigations.

Matt Rasmussen has just the right creepy presence as the host in Gravedigger Dave’s Halfway House.

50 March 26, 2020 DuluthReader.com 50 April 9, 2020 DuluthReader.com

For me, the weakest segment is the last one, featuring maritime author Frederick Stonehouse, who wrote Haunted Lakes. There’s nothing wrong with it, but it seemed anti-climactic. I guess I was hoping for a shocking, wham-bamthank you ma’am ending and Mr. Stonehouse was far too reasonable for that.

Shortly after watching the movie, I saw that Matt Rasmussen was interviewed on Rise of the Podcast, which airs on Youtube. In that interview, Rasmussen talks about his lifelong love for the Ghostbusters movie (he was clad in a Ghostbusters t-shirt), and how he is founder of a Ghostbuster group that investigates the paranormal and also entertains at parties and parades.

In an effort to keep the conversation going, Rasmussen was asked by host Jeremy about the Paulding Light of Paulding, in Upper Michigan. Rasmussen said he has been to see the light and it does exist. He said some believe it to be the lantern held by the ghost of an old railroad brakeman, but added that’s an old story told everywhere. But, he said repeatedly, there is no explanation for the lights.

Well, the truth is that a group of Michigan Technological University students solved the mystery of the Paulding light in 2010. It’s car headlights from U.S. 45, which runs north and south near Paulding. Despite finding the definitive solution, people refuse to believe the lights could be anything so prosaic as car headlights, and they continue to visit the Paulding area to see what they like to believe is something paranormal.

Still, if you like to believe in the supernatural, the 72-minute Gravedigger Dave’s Halfway House should be just the ticket. You can rent it ($2.99) or buy it ($9.99) via Amazon Prime’s streaming service.

Director Hopkins promises a second Gravedigger Dave film is in the works.

“I’d like the sequel to be much bigger in its scope,” he told The Reader. “I plan to tell ghost stories from Minnesota, but also take submissions of paranormal short films from filmmakers around the world. The best submissions will be selected for inclusion in the sequel, and will serve as stories told by Gravedigger Dave to the viewer.”

Music history was shaped by rebels

BOOKSHELF by

JOAN GAYLORD “Music, to create harmony, must investigate discord.” This quote from Plutarch is how music historian Ted Gioia opens Music: A Subversive History.

Heeding the wisdom of the ancient Greek writer, he explores music over millennia.

While the harmony of music has always been central to human experience, the history that has been passed down over centuries reflects a version embraced by music conservatories, religious orders, and the social elite. These institutions, Gioia argues, have been the assimilators. A deep dive into surviving documents reveals that, after first rejecting new ideas, the institutions later incorporated them into the accepted canon.

Readers might be surprised by how the rebellious musicians from centuries ago helped shape our contemporary music scene. Gioia shows how their energy empowered the role of the singer, created the concept of an audience, and formed the nascent music business that we recognize today.

Gioia points out that music had long been under the control of the church and the crown. As “the lowly performer” began to acquire recognition apart from institutions, the power of the elite began to shift into the hands of common folk.

And while it might seem obvious that where there is music there would be an audience, Gioia asserts that the construct of dividing the musician from the listener is far more recent than we might expect.

Up to the late medieval period, music had largely been a group activity.

Rebel musicians, however, began to deviate from common practice and, exploiting opportunity, sought to please listeners. In a hierarchical society, this shift proved to be a game changer. Not only did it create the performer and the audience, but it also turned the masses into the arbiters of taste.

“This was the subversive moment when pop culture got its pop,” he writes.

Equinox, and Chevy, can avoid criticism GILBERT’S GARAGE by

JOHN GILBERT

The 2020 Chevrolet Equinox strikes a streamlined pose. Photo credit: John Gilbert

Where were you when the dreaded Coronavirus struck to foul up our springtime of 2020? I was just getting ready to enjoy the start of the NCHC college hockey playoffs, with the University of Minnesota Duluth prepared to start a bid for its third straight NCAA title. I also had just finished a week-long road test with a 2020

Chevrolet Equinox Premier, a nicely styled and nicely sized SUV that is aimed at challenging the best of the compact SUVs — the RAV4, CR-V, Escape, Rogue, Cherokee, Tucson, Forester, and — my favorite — the Mazda CX-5.

Several things happened between my test drive term and the actual writing of this review.

76 April 9, 2020 DuluthReader.com

First, I was very impressed with everything about the Equinox, and that caught me by surprise, because Chevrolet has seemed to fade away from competing with the best of the rest. Second, I had read a couple review in car magazines, and my impressions of the vehicle and those test reports is that those magazines were too

harsh in their reviews of the Equinox.

Another thing that happened was that the Federal Government has been unfairly harsh — at least its “Fearless Leader” — in dealings with General Motors, and GM chief Mary Barra seems to have become one of President Trump’s favorite targets for

his hit-and-run verbal cheapshots. The most recent one came after last weekend, when the Coronavirus was tightening its deadly grip on all corners of the U.S., and Trump was live on television saying that Barra was being resistant to help when the nation needed GM.He singled her out to say he had experienced problems “with Mary.”

That struck me as curious, because last week I had read an account of how GM had worked out a partnership with Ventec Life Systems, a small company that makes the ventilators so vital to helping afflicted patients keep breathing. GM engineers collaborated with Ventec on how they could convert a GM plant in Kokomo where they could help Ventec make 10 times more than the 200 ventilators it normally makes each month, So I was surprised when Trump took his private little stage on Friday, March 27, 2020 and said he had activated an emergency plan that would force GM to help.

To its credit, GM and Ventec

officials made the judicious move and didn’t comment on the accusation, or on the suggestion that Trump should get credit for getting General Motors to start doing what it had already been doing around the clock for most of a week.

For what it’s worth, Ford and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles also have been helping the cause.

Ford, for example, has partnered with Minnesota’s 3M and respirator-maker GE Healthcare to simplify the process by which GE Healthcare can greatly increase its production of respirators, aiming at 100,000 per week.

Meanwhile, back out on the road, I found the Equinox a far more worthy family hauler than a Motor Trend review of it would indicate. Those leadfoots at the car magazines tend to pound cars much harder than normal consumers might, so when they ripped the Equinox for not accelerating like a dragster or cornering like a Miata, I took it with a grain of salsa. I tend to assess cars for their target

audience.

In testing a vehicle’s handling, one driver’s too-soft swaying is another driver’s comfortable ride, just like one driver’s firm and solid cornering might be another’s harsh and uncomfortable ride.

The Equinox came in eighth and last in the Motor Trend comparison, but Chevrolet needn’t feel too bad; the magazine didn’t even bother to include a Ford Escape — another compact SUV I like a lot. In the test, the CR-V was first, the Mazda CX-5 second,. and the Equinox last..

Without question, the Equinox is no race car, although it is possible my test-vehicle, which had the optional Premier topof-the-line package, was far better equipped to corner and display directional stability than the one Motor Trend got. The leather seats, lane-departure alert, Landens-keep assist, rear-park assist and camera, heated and ventilated front buckets, heated steering wheel and adaptive cruise control with camera aid are

DuluthReader.com

significant upgrades for a loaded, as-tested sticker of $38,545.

Power in the test Equinox came from Chevrolet’s new-age 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine with a smooth-shifting 9-speed automatic transmission, while many competitors have a CVT (continuously variable transmission) that tends to drone with frustration. The LED head and tail lights and the keyless start system are all nice features sometimes rare on compact SUVs. Each time I walked up to the Equinox, I was impressed by its styling, with its swept-back lines that blend the rear pillar into the rear of the vehicle. and I think it stands out from the pack because of that.

Inside, the materials are not all cushy and luxurious, but they are stylish and functional. Some may find them too hard; I found them durable, not unpleasant. Without having the lower-scale models for comparison, I don’t know how much of an upgrade the Premier represents, but I like it.

Chevy also makes the Traverse, which is a little bigger, but very similarly styled, with a V6 for power and three rows of seats.

So it becomes your choice, if you want and need a larger vehicle with a larger engine, or can get by with the agility of the smaller Equinox.

It was perfect timing that put the Equinox Premier with its push-button activated all-wheel drive into my hands at the precise time when it seemed that General Motors and Chevrolet needed and deserved some defending from unfair criticism from the White House, coupled with my impressions of the vehicle itself.

It has been a Chevrolet tradition when it makes cars to offer a loaded, top-of-the-line model, a mid-range model for features and

For example, no need to say features. Other companies cut “car for sale” because it will be under the CARS category. Don’t forget contact phone number. May attach info as well.) corners similarly, but nobody else is guilty of stripping the desired value items from its less-expensive models. That’s one area where the Japanese, Germans and Koreans are far ahead.

But this vehicle gives Chevrolet a worthy competitor in the compact SUV field, and one that might be favored by everyday drivers.
