Minute For turn-of-the-century Minnesotans, reports of international war may have seemed as commonplace as changes in the weather. In 1898 the United States waged a naval war against Spain, and two years later from an alli ance with Britain, France, Germany, Russia, and Japan quelled a Chinese uprising called the Boxer Rebellion. In the White House, President Theodore Roosevelt was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for the part he played in ending the Russo-Japanese War. There was even hopeful talk around the country that another Hague Peace Conference would end worldwide hostilities once and for all. It did not, and the ensuing two world wars and those that followed needed a basic item, iron, Minnesota’s Mesabi range provided the ore to make it. “Mesabi” is a Chippewa word meaning “a giant buried in the hills.” The Mesabi Range was the second of three mining areas discovered in Minnesota between 1875 and 1911. The Vermilion Range was the first. The Cuyuna Range, which runs southwest from Aitkin was he third. High in manganese (an important ingredient in producing steel) range iron ore was critical to American industry during World War I and the leader in iron ore production was clearly the Mesabi Range. Ironi cally the Mesabi, which single-handedly turned Minnesota into the largest iron ore-producing state in the union—had been bypassed a number of times by explor ers and scientists looking for the mother lode. Then came Leonidas Merritt. For twenty-five years he had been ridiculed by his peers as he searched for iron ore in the upper Mississippi wilderness. Merritt worked as a timber cruiser, and used a dip compass and a woodsman’s persistence to map the areas he believed held ore. In 1890, he took out 141 mining leases and put together exploring parties which he hoped would find enough iron ore samplings to prove his claim. In November, one of the parties struck ore four miles west of present day Virginia. The discovery rapidly led to the opening of the Mountain Iron mine one of the largest mines on the Mesabi Range. The following summer another Merritt explorer noticed how red the soil was around the roots of a fallen tree. This sharp observation led to the opening of the Biwabik Mine. When the word about the rich ore leaked out, the north country exploded. Towns such as Ironton, Hibbing. Eveleth, Chisholm, Virginia, and Babbitt sprang up overnight, and the population of St. Louis County more than quadrupled between 1880 and 1910. Many of the newcomers to northern Minnesota, often penniless and lacking in skills, were new to America as well. Arriving from Scandinavia, Yugoslavia, Italy, Poland, and Greece. they offered strong backs and at first, gratitude for the work that would give them a fresh start. For the miners and their families, life centered around the mines. Daily blasts of dynamite in the pits shook buildings, frightened children, and broke crockery. Their lives were scheduled by whistles that announced the end of shifts and the arrival of the ore trains. By the turn of the century there were more than thirty working mines on the Mesabi Range. The mines were like living organisms, nibbling away at the land around them. The towns of Hibbing and Eveleth even had to be moved from their original location to accommodate the needs of the mines. Although the Mesabi ore lay in Minnesota soil, the profits soon padded the industrial coffers of John D. Rockefeller, J.P. Morgan, Andrew Carnegie and JamesJ. Hill. Far away from the pleasantries and proprieties of the Eastern seaboard, agreements were made by these men that turned the Mesabi into an industrial collossus that supplied the worlds need for iron and helped to build their unrivaled fortunes.
In July of 1907, disturbing news closer to home caught the public’s attention. A bitter feud between the miners and US Steel’s mining companies ended in a labor walkout. It was the first time miners had organized a strike in Minne sota.Backed by a spirited and vocal national union, 16,000 Mesabi miners demanded payment of wages by the day rather than by the amount of ore they mined. They also called for a pay increase safer work conditions and an eight-hour work day. Many Minnesotans worried that a long strike would hobble the state’s acceler ating economy. As it turned out, the strike wasn’t violent nor long-lived. Through August, a few minor scuffles between the strikers and deputies ended in injuries but the Mining Company broke the labor action by calling in immigrant strike-breakers who understood neither the language nor the meaning of collective bargaining. Trainloads of imported laborers arrived daily in the mining towns. By October most of the miners had returned to work, their demands once again remaining onlydreams.
While the newspapers from coast to coast were filled with stories about what the Morgans, Hills, Carnegies, and Rockefellers were doing with their money, there were those who believed that something was fundamentally wrong with the country. When the miners went on strike in 1907 nearly seven eighths of the wealth in America was owned by one percent of the population. It would be six more years before the state would adopt a compensation system to pro tect workers against industrial accidents and before the unsafe conditions in the mines would draw attention to the plight of the Range worker. The first two decades of the new century were a time when socialism and collectivism seemed like a plausible solu tion for the worker—andthe split between business and labor as insurmountable.

When you hear someone say they went to see an energy healer, what goes through your mind? Do you know what they’re talking about? Have you ever considered going to one, but weren’t exactly sure what to expect? There are many different styles of energy healing or energy work, all with their own names. Reiki and Qigong are two of the more well known. Individual’s go to classes where they study this ancient art of healing. It’s usually thought of as an Eastern form of medicine. That would mean that it’s primarily practiced in places like China. When you go to a healer they’ll ask you to be comfortable. Sometimes you sit in a chair or they’ll have you lay down. Being comfortable is key. In some forms of energy work the person might touch you. They may lay their hands on your shoulders or brush their fi ngers down your back. In other forms you are never touched. The idea is to remove any energy blockage you may have that could be causing your body or mind distress. Once the blockage is detected, an attempt is made to break it up using their body’s energy. After it’s broken up – they remove it with a sweeping or pulling action.
After the blockages are removed the body naturally heals itself. Think about it for a minute. If you cut your fi nger, that cut will heal by itself. Our bodies are designed to heal themselves. Sometimes they just need a little bit of help. I don’t think of energy workers as healers, myself included. It’s just the name that’s been attached to it. What we do is unblock energy, which allows your own body to heal itself. We are like plumbers for the body. We help unblock what’s stuck inside us. Everyone has the ability to be an energy worker. Just like everything else, it comes easier to some than to others. However, if this is something that interests you – take a class and see what you think. Most community education programs offer these classes for the beginner. Thank you for your interest and attention. Till next time, stay in touch with yourself,with your life, and with those loved ones who have moved on.

● On April 21, 1918, in the skies over France, Manfred von Richthofen, the notorious German fl ying ace known as “The Red Baron,” is killed by Allied fi re when an Australian gunner shoots him through his chest. He was 25 years old. Von Richthofen had downed 80 enemy aircraft.
● On April 23, 1923, “Mambo King” Tito Puente is born in New York City. Bandleader and percussionist Puente helped popularize Latin dance music and jazz in America. During a career that spanned six decades, the dynamic showman recorded more than 100 albums and won fi ve Grammy Awards.
● On April 22, 1937, John Joseph “Jack” Nicholson, who would become known as one of the greatest actors of his generation and famous for his role in “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,” is born in Neptune, N.J.

● On April 18, 1945, Pulitzer Prize-winning war correspondent Ernie Pyle is killed by Japanese machine-gun fi re on Okinawa. Extremely popular, Pyle had been at the London Blitz of 1941 and saw action in North Africa, Italy, France and the Pacifi c. A monument to him exists to this day on Okinawa, describing Pyle simply as “a buddy.”
● On April 24, 1976, the Pittsburgh Penguins beat the Washington Capitals, 3-2, in 139 minutes and 15 seconds of total game play, making it the fi fth-longest match in the history of the National Hockey League. A regulation hockey game lasts 60 minutes.
● On April 20, 1980, the Castro regime announces that all Cubans wishing to emigrate to the U.S. are free to board boats at the port of Mariel, west of Havana, launching the Mariel Boatlift. The fi rst of 125,000 Cuban refugees reached Florida the next day in about 1,700 boats.
● On April 25, 1719, Daniel Defoe’s fi ctional work “The Life and Strange Adventures of Robinson Crusoe” is published. The book, about a shipwrecked sailor who spends 28 years on a deserted island, is based on the experiences of Alexander Selkirk, a Scottish sailor who spent four years on a small island off the coast of South America in the early 1700s.

● On April 27, 1865, an explosion on a Mississippi River steamboat kills an estimated 1,547 people, mostly Union soldiers returning home after the Civil War. The Sultana was built to hold 376 passengers, but reports say that there were as many as 2,700 people on board.
● On May 1, 1931, New York City’s Empire State Building is dedicated. The idea for the Empire State Building is said to have been born of a competition between Walter Chrysler of the Chrysler Corp. and John Jakob Raskob of General Motors to see who could erect the taller building.
● On April 30, 1948, the Land Rover, a British-made all-terrain vehicle, debuts at an auto show in Amsterdam. The Land Rover had a boxy, utilitarian design, four-wheel drive and a canvas roof. Seat cushions, doors, a heater and spare tire were considered extras.
● On April 28, 1965, Barbra Streisand’s debut television special, “My Name is Barbra,” is aired. One sequence was shot on location in the fur department of Bergdorf Goodman, where Streisand vamped in exotic fur coats to a medley of poverty songs, including “Brother Can You Spare a Dime.”
● On April 26, 1986, the world’s worst nuclear accident to date occurs at the Chernobyl nuclear plant near Kiev in Ukraine. An estimated 4,000 clean-up workers died from radiation poisoning, as many as 70,000 people suffered severe poisoning and a large area of land might not be livable for as many as 150 years.

OVERCOMING THE ODDS:
CLEMENTINE HUNTERThe granddaughter of slaves, Clementine Hunter was born in 1886 or 1887. She grew up in a time when she was offered very little education and no access to painting classes or supplies.• Hunter lived almost all of her life on Melrose Plantation, a beautiful cotton and pecan plantation
over 200 years old, south of Natchitoches, Louisiana, where she worked as a cook. The plantation is now a National Historic Landmark.
• The owner of the plantation in the 1930s, Mrs. Cammie Henry, was a promoter of the arts and encouraged artists to visit her home to write and paint. One of her frequent visitors was painter Alberta Kinsey, from New Orleans. She was there when a dear friend of Mrs. Henry’s, Mrs. Blythe White Rand, came for one of her many visits. Rand was an avid gardener and brought a bouquet of zinnias for her hostess.
• On that day, in 1939, Kinsey started an oil painting of the zinnias in an old, hammered copper pitcher. Hunter saw her at work and commented that she might be able to paint. Kinsey stopped her work and gave Hunter the pitcher, fl owers and some partially used tubes of oil paint and told her to give it a try.
• When Rand returned to Melrose weeks later, Hunter presented her with a painting of the zinnias done on the side of a corrugated cardboard box, the only “canvas” she had. She had used all of the paints, making very thick brush strokes, making the zinnias come alive. This was the fi rst documented “Clementine” painting. It is now owned by an anonymous collector.
• Henry, Rand, Kinsey and others associated with Melrose realized the signifi cance of Hunter’s self-taught art.
• Francois Mignon was the resident guardian, caretaker and tour guide at Melrose. He lived at Melrose for many years and was a great friend and mentor. He encouraged and promoted Hunter’s artistic career. • Whitfi eld Jack, the grandson of Rand, has done much to keep the memory and work of Hunter alive. On the offi cial website, www.clementinehunterartist.com, Jack shares vignettes of Hunter, Mignon, Henry, his grandmother and life at Melrose. He visited his grandparents’ camp, Happy Landing, on Melrose many times and has fond memories of Hunter.

● Keep a kitchen timer near your phone so that you can limit the length of long-distance calls. They can add up quickly if you don’t watch it!● “Here’s a great way to get a longer life out of a bar of soap: Press the plastic top of a pop bottle into the side of a wet bar of soap. When you set the bar down in your soap dish, put it plastic side down. This way, the bar doesn’t sit in any residual water and turn into a goopy mush. The plastic top comes out easily if you need to remove it.” -- Y.P. in Illinois● “Nylon stocking strips are great and work really well in the garden. If you have a pair that has a runner, chop them up into pieces. You can use them to tie up staked plants, as they are strong yet gentle enough to not cause any harm.” -- E.S. in Wisconsin● “Reduce your energy costs of drying clothes by hanging heavy items (think towels, throw blankets, jeans, sweats) for a few hours to air dry before popping
them in the dryer. You can cut the drying time by as much as two-thirds and still get that tumbled-dry softness.” -- M.N. in Missouri● Rub hands with lemon slices to get rid of onion or fi sh smells. Afterward, you can put the lemon slices down your garbage disposal unit with a few ice cubes to get rid of smells there, too.● Renew your paintbrushes with this trick: Heat vinegar to boiling. Pour into a tall, narrow container that won’t melt. Add hardened brushes, bristle side down. Stick a pencil through the hole in the paintbrush handle and balance it across the top of the container. It keeps the bristles from bending in the bottom of the container. Let brushes soak until vinegar has cooled. Use a wire brush to clean.
● “I purchase rotisserie chickens and use the meat for different things -- soup, casseroles, etc. I have a trick for getting the skin off. My hand strength isn’t what it used to be, and those birds are slippery. I use a paper towel to grip the skin, and pull the meat and bone right out. It works well on a raw bird, too.” -- L.A.
in Florida¥ To rewhiten socks or wash cloths, try boiling a pot of water and adding a sliced, juiced lemon. Soak the items for at least an hour, and then pick out the lemon and add the pot
-- water and all -- to a load of wash.● “If there are crushed cookies in a pack I purchase, I set them aside in a plastic baggie in the freezer to use on ice cream. Yummy!” -- R.L. in Alberta, Canada● “If you’ve been cooking in the oven and have a pan that’s got cooked-on
food, you can get it clean without all the scrubbing. Immediately after cooking, while the oven is still hot, add enough water to cover the bottom of the pan, and a little dish soap. Put it in the oven until the oven is cool. The residual heat will work on the stuck-on food while you are dining, and it’ll wipe right out.” -- W.O. in Minnesota● When washing out stockings, add a tablespoon of vinegar to the rinse water, and they will retain their elasticity better.● “Wintergreen oil makes a lovely room freshener. Put two drops on a cotton ball and tuck it into the cushions of your couch, or hide it under a lamp pedestal ... anywhere out of the way. The scent drifts for a week or so.” -- G.T. in DelawareSend your tips to Now Here’s a Tip, c/o King Features Weekly Service, P.O.

COTTON (continued):• When we think of cotton, most of
us think of comfortable blue jeans, fl annel shirts, underwear or the 800-thread-count soft sheets that we sleep on at night. Cotton provides all of that and a whole lot more.
• Cotton is used more than any fi ber, natural or manmade, in the world. It is a daily part of our lives and is still today one of the leading cash crops for farmers in the United States. Every part of a cotton plant is useful.
• The most important part of the cotton plant is the fi ber, or lint, which is used to make cloth. The fi ber has to be separated from the seeds, which are quite sticky. This is why the cotton gin was so important. When the fi ber and seeds had to be separated by hand, it took many laborious hours.
• “Linters,” the short fuzz remaining on the seeds after separation of the lint, provide cellulose for making explosives, plastics and other products. They are also incorporated into high quality paper products and processed into batting for the padding used in mattresses and cushions for furniture and automobile seats.
• The cottonseeds are a valuable byproduct as well. They are crushed and separated into three products: oil, hulls and meal. Cottonseed oil is used for salad dressing, cooking oil and shortening. Cottonseed oil has no cholesterol has little or no trans-fats, making it a good option for healthy cooking.
• The meal and hulls are used for livestock, poultry and fi sh feed and also fertilizer. After all of these parts are taken away, the remaining leaves and stalks of the cotton plant are plowed under to enrich the soil.
• For years, the “Cotton Row” district of Memphis, Tennessee, was the center of the worldwide cotton trade market. The Cotton Museum at the Cotton Exchange opened in 2006 in the building that was once the place where cotton was inspected, bought and sold, and shipped around the world. The museum has artifacts and exhibits that tell the story of cotton, its history and its impact on the region and the world.
• Another museum dedicated to cotton is The Audie Murphy American Cotton Museum in Greenville, Texas. This museum is dedicated to preserving the history of America’s cotton industry. The museum includes the oldest house in Greenville and an actual cotton patch.
• The states where cotton grows are sometimes referred to as the “Cotton Belt.” These states are all across the southern edge of the United States. They are Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California. The climate and soil conditions of these areas provide a great cotton-growing environment.
• Are you curious as to what can be made from one bale of cotton? How about 4,321 socks, 3,085 diapers (yes, the old fashioned cotton kind!), 1,256 pillowcases, 690 bath towels, 409 skirts or 250 pairs of pants!
• Most people have heard of “hand-me-downs” and probably have worn them. Blue jeans are especially known for this because of their durability. Hand-me-down blue jeans were taken to a new level in 2006
when Cotton Incorporated created a marketing initiative to recycle denim for insulation for housing.
• The “Cotton. From Blue to Green. ®” denim drive was a student-run campaign on several college campuses to educate students on the renewable and recyclable attributes of denim. Blue jeans were donated and then given a “new life” as housing insulation for houses. In the spring of 2007, 30 homes were built for families by Habitat for Humanity of Greater Baton Rouge (Louisiana) who lost their homes as a result of Hurricane Katrina. Twelve of those homes were insulated with UltraTouch™ Denim Insulation.
• A campaign by National Geographic Kids Magazine in 2009 asked readers to donate their old jeans with the goal being to set a Guinness World Record™ for the “most items of clothing collected for recycling.” The record was announced in Washington, D.C. on August 12, 2009, with 33,088 pieces of denim donated. These jeans were given to the “Cotton. From Blue to Green.®” campaign for more housing insulation projects. What a terrifi c way to help people, recycle and keep blue jeans out of our landfi lls!
• Cotton has been an important part of our lives for many years and will likely continue to be. As the advertisements say, it is the “fabric of our lives.” Cotton is now grown in 70 countries, with China producing the most at about 25 percent and the United States producing almost 20 percent. China and India are the largest producers of cotton, while the United States is the world’s largest exporter of cotton.

CLEMENTINE HUNTER (continued):• One of Jack’s humorous accounts was when he hid with Hunter as visitors approached her cabin to see her artwork. After the visitors knocked many times, obviously aware that someone was home, Hunter said loudly, “Nobody home!” The people then left. She didn’t like to talk to strangers.• Even though Hunter didn’t particularly like talking to strangers, she did garner some fascinating publicity. A photograph of her in her cabin surrounded by her art appeared in many magazines, including The Saturday Evening Post and Look. Her art has been exhibited all across America, and there have been several books about her. Two books of note include: “Clementine Hunter: The African House Murals” by Art Shiver and Tom Whitehead and “Painting by Heart” by Shelby Gilley. Hunter was awarded an honorary Doctorate of Fine Arts from Northwestern State University of Louisiana. • In her 50s when she started painting, Hunter created over 5,000 paintings and lived to be 101 years old. She is buried at St. Augustine Church, near Melrose, next to her good friend, Francois Mignon.
