A Minnesota
Minute
A Minnesota
MinuteIt was late November 1905 and the steel-gray sky above Lake Superior gave no tice of the winter ahead. As Duluth citizens went about their morning business, four freighters, loaded with the last ore shipment of the year, left the protecting arms of Minnesota Point and turned their bows toward the blast furnaces of the East. Looking to the sky, the crews gambled that they could outrun one of Superior’s infamous early-winter storms.
With tremendous force, a storm blasted the four freighters,dancing the multi-ton ships on the mammoth waves. As towns-people watched, two of the four freighters managed to make it back to the relatively calm waters behind Minnesota Point. The third, although damaged as it rounded the point, limped to safety. The fourth freighter, the Mataafa, was not so fortunate. Churning, frigidwater ran fierce and high spinning the 4,840-ton Mataafa like a top. In the same moment, the freighter was struck from behind by a blast of wind and thrown against the pier. Pelted by sleet and icy water, the crew felt the shudder as their ship was split in two.
Miraculously, Captain R.F. Humble and fifteen of hiscrewmen made it through the night huddling around a bonfire built of the captain’s furniture, and lived to tell about the storm. Thetragedy, however, lay in the stern of the freighter, where nine men had either frozen to death or were drowned.
In the heyday of the iron ore industry—between 1890and 1920—such drama at sea was a way of life. Without radar, electronic communications, or even the equipment to accuratelyforecast weather, freighter crews were at the mercy of shippingschedules and the moody Great Lakes. More than fifty ships were lost on Lake Superior in the 1890s. Between 1900 and 1910, 350 ships had major accidents, at least 84 ships were destroyed, and 250 sailors lost their lives.
The frequency of shipping disasters paralleled the explosionin the shipping indus try. Standing as sentries to one of the world’s best harbors, Duluth and its neighbor, Superior, Wisconsin, grewfrom sleepy logging towns into thriving cities and reigned over thevast inland resources of lumber, iron ore, and grain. Transcontinentalrailroads and local mining railroads made beelines for the Duluth-Superior docks.
Shipping ore through the Great Lakes was the cheapest andmost efficient means of getting the raw material to Eastern mills. A Great Lakes freighter could cover 800 miles with a shipment of orefor about 70 cents a ton, while shipping ore the same dis tance byrailroad could cost up to $5 a ton. The savings were unresistable.While Mesabi Range ore was being gobbled up by eastern steelmills, the same Eastern states—particularly Pennsylvania—wereflush with coal needed in Minnesota and points west to fire the turn-of-the-century industrial boom. Lake Superior became a two-way shipping street, and by the mid-1880s more than 2 milliontons of coal were hauled to Duluth, much of it used to power the steam shovels digging ore on the Mesabi Range. Hand in hand, thecoal and iron ore industries grew together. By 1913, Duluth hadtwenty-four coal docks.
Duluth-Superior became one of the leading ports in theUnited States; it even outranked New York City for a short time.In addition to iron ore, ships leaving carried more than 1 millionbarrels of flour a year to the East Coast, where it was exportedto Great Britain, the West Indies, Brazil, and Germany. Specialfreighters, called lumber hookers, carried Minnesota pine. Whenthe North Shore lumber industry was at its peak, more than 150 carloads of lumber arrived daily at Duluth docks. In 1902, Duluth mills sawed a record one billion board feet of lumber. But the pine would soon disappear and by 1925 only one sawmill remained. Minnesota’s logging empire came to an end
A similar boom-and-bust story can be told of Duluth’scommercial fishing indus try. In the early part of the 1880’s, nearlyhalf a million pounds of whitefish were salted and shipped in barrels. Refrigeration made it possible to send even more freshfrozen fish by rail to the West and South, and by ship to the East. First it was whitefish, and when they were played out, fishermenturned to lake trout and then to herring. It eventu ally came to wheremore fish were being taken out of the lake faster than na ture couldreplace, and although in 1910 a fish hatchery was built by thefederal government to replenish the waters, it was too little too late.Sport fishing is the main sustenance today.
What’s left for Duluth? Principal industries still includemanufacturing and food processing plants along with wool, lumberand paper mills, cold storage plants, fisheries, grain elevators, andoil refineries also still exist.The city is a regional banking, retailing, and medical care center for the northern areas of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan. More than8,000 jobs in Duluth are directly related to the hospital industry.Arts, entertainment and a year-round recreation environment have contributed to expansion of the tourist industry with some 3.5million visitors each year contributing to the local economy.

Fable of the PorcupineIt was the coldest winter ever. Many animals died because of the cold. The porcupines, realizing the situation, decided to group together to keep warm. This way they covered and protected themselves; but the quills of each one wounded their closest companions. After awhile, they decided to distance themselves one from the other and they began to die, alone and frozen. So they had to make a choice: either accept the quills of their companions or disappear from the Earth. Wisely, they decided to go back to being together. They learned to live with the little wounds caused by the close relationship with their companions in order to receive the heat that came from the others. This way they were able to survive. The best relationship is not the one that brings together perfect people, but when each individual learns to live with the imperfections of others and can admire the other person's good qualities. The moral of the story is: Learn to live with the pricks in your life!
On Aug. 17, 1877, William “Billy the Kid” Bonney kills his fi rst man, an Arizona blacksmith. Just how many men Billy the Kid killed is uncertain. He reportedly once claimed he had killed 21 men, “one for every year of my life.”
On Aug. 15, 1914, the Panama Canal, the American-built waterway across the Isthmus of Panama connecting the Atlantic and Pacifi c oceans, is inaugurated. U.S. engineers moved nearly 240 million cubic yards of earth and spent close to $400 million in constructing the 40-mile-long canal.
On Aug. 18, 1590, John White, the governor of the Roanoke Island colony in present-day North Carolina, returns from a supply trip to England to fi nd no trace of the 100 colonists he left behind. The only clue to their disappearance was the word “CROATOAN” carved into the palisade around the settlement.
On Aug. 21, 1920, Daphne Milne, wife of English writer A.A. Milne, gives birth to a son, Christopher Robin Milne. When Christopher Robin received a stuffed bear as a present, his father began writing a series of stories about the bear. Christopher Robin was immortalized in A.A. Milne’s books “Winnie-the-Pooh” and “The House at Pooh Corner.”
On Aug. 16, 1948, baseball legend George Herman “Babe” Ruth dies from cancer in New York City. For two days, tens of thousands of fans stood in line to pay their last respects. Ruth hit a record 60 home runs in the 1927 season and led the Yankees to seven pennants.
On Aug. 19, 1960, in the USSR, captured American U-2 pilot Francis Gary Powers is sentenced to 10 years imprisonment for his confessed espionage. Only 18 months into his sentence, the Soviets released him in exchange for Rudolf Abel, a senior KGB spy who was caught and convicted in the United States fi ve years earlier.
On Aug. 20, 1989, Lyle and Erik Menendez shoot their parents, Jose and Kitty, to death in the den of the family’s Beverly Hills, Calif., home. Police were fi nally tipped off to the brothers by the girlfriend of Erik’s psychotherapist, who’d taped Erik’s confession in counseling sessions.
London on her 67th birthday. Bergman was best known for her role as Ilsa Lund in “Casablanca.”
On Sept. 1, 1836, Narcissa Whitman, a missionary, arrives in Walla Walla, Wash., becoming one of the fi rst Anglo women to settle west of the Rocky Mountains. In 1847, a measles epidemic killed many of the Cayuse Indians. In retaliation, a band of Cayuse killed 14 people, including Narcissa and her husband.
On Sept. 4, 1886, Geronimo, the wiliest and most dangerous Apache warrior of his time, fi nally surrenders in Skeleton Canyon, Ariz. Geronimo never learned to use a gun, yet he armed his men with the best modern rifl es he could obtain and even used fi eld glasses to aid reconnaissance during his campaigns.
On Sept. 2, 1923, aftershocks and out-of-control fi res rock Tokyo, Japan, and the surrounding area following an 8.3-magnitude earthquake. In total, 143,000 people died in the disaster. The Imperial Hotel, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, sank 2 feet into the ground but still managed to stand.
On Sept. 3, 1939, Britain and France declare war on Germany. The fi rst casualty of that declaration was the British ocean liner Athenia, which
was sunk that evening by a German submarine.
On Aug. 31, 1955, William G. Cobb of the General Motors Corp. demonstrates his 15-inch-long “Sunmobile,” the world’s fi rst solar-powered automobile. When sunlight hit 12 photoelectric cells made of selenium (a nonmetal substance with conducting properties) built into the Sunmobile, an electric current was produced that in turn powered a tiny motor.
On Aug. 30, 1963, a “hot line” between Moscow and Washington goes into effect to speed communication between the governments of the United States and the Soviet Union and help prevent the possibility of an accidental war. The hot line was never really necessary to prevent war, but it did provide a useful prop for movies about nuclear disaster, such as “Fail Safe” and “Dr. Strangelove.”
On Aug. 29, 1982, the Swedish-born actress and three-time Academy Award winner Ingrid Bergman dies of cancer in London on her 67th birthday. Bergman was best known for her role as Ilsa Lund in “Casablanca.”

LAWSUITS (continued):● In 2006, Allen Heckard sued Michael Jordan and Nike founder Phil Knight for $832 million. In the suit he claimed to suffer defamation, permanent injury and emotional pain and suffering because he was often mistaken for Michael Jordan. He said that continual public harassment because of the alleged resemblance "has troubled his nerves." Heckard dropped the lawsuit later that year. ● After eating Cap'n Crunch with Crunch Berries over a period of four years, Janine Sugawara realized that the “Crunch Berries” in the cereal were not real fruit. She fi led a class-action suit against Quaker's parent company PepsiCo in 2009 for fraud and breech of warranty, seeking full restitution of all money gained through misleading labeling and a court order forcing Quaker to disclose to the public the true composition of Crunch Berries. The case was dismissed.● In 1910, Olaf Olverson was desperate for cash, so he sold his body to the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden, for medical research after his death. A year later, he inherited a fortune. He tried to “buy himself back” from the institute, but they wouldn't cooperate. When Olverson refused to donate his body, the institute sued him for breach of contract. Olverson lost the case. The judge ruled that he not only owed his body to the Institute, he owed them money for the two teeth he had removed without the Institute's permission, saying Olverson had illegally tampered with their property.● Bobby Mackey's Music World in Wilder, Kentucky, was sued by J.R. Costigan in 1993. He claimed a ghost “punched and kicked him” while he was using the bar's restroom one night. He sued the bar for $1,000 in damages and demanded that a warning sign of the ghost's presence be put up in the restroom. The club's lawyer fi led a motion to dismiss the case, citing the diffi culty of getting the ghost into court to testify for the defense. The case was dismissed.● In 1976, at the University of California Los Angeles Medical Center, doctors removed John Moore's spleen in a successful effort to cure his cancer. Doctors later found that the spleen possessed unique cancer-fi ghting cells. Experiments with the cells led to a new discovery worth an estimated $3 billion. Moore tried to sue the University of California, claiming his spleen was pirated. The spleen had belonged to him so he should share in the commercial value. He sued for part of the profi ts, but in 1990, 14 years after the operation, Moore lost the case.
● Computer designers at Apple codenamed a new computer model Sagan in 1993. Traditionally, this is an honor. “You pick a name of someone you respect,” an employee explained, “and the code is only used while the computer is being developed. It never makes it out of the company.” This didn't matter to Carl Sagan; his lawyers complained that the code was “an illegal usurpation of his name for commercial purposes” and demanded that it be changed. The designers changed it to BHA, which stood for “Butt-Head Astronomer.” Sagan sued again, contending “Butt-Head” is “defamatory on its face.” Apple won.● Chicago lawyer Frank Zaffere sued his ex-fi ancé Maria Dillon when she broke off their engagement in 1992. Zaffere fi led a suit for $40,310.48 to cover his “lost courting expenses.” He did send a letter along with court papers to his ex stating: “I am still willing to marry you on the conditions herein below set forth: 1) We proceed with our marriage within 45 days of the date of this letter; 2) You confi rm [that you] . . . will forever be faithful to me; 3) You promise . . . that you will never lie to me again about anything.” He closed with: “Please feel free to call me if you have any questions or would like to discuss any of the matters discussed herein. Sincerely, Frank.” The case was dismissed and so was the wedding.● Andrea Pizzo, a former student of the University of Maine, sued her alma mater for failing to protect her from a cow with a "dangerous disposition." While taking a class in livestock management, a 400-plus-pound Bovine head-butted her into the wall of its pen. Pizzo suffered knee and wrist injuries, so she sued the college for an unspecifi ed amount. In her suit she claims the school “should have known that the heifer had a personality problem.” Verdict unknown.● Cynthia Economou was sued by Karl Lambert in Florida court; he claimed that Economou stole his foot. Lambert's foot was severed in a car accident, and Economu, the paramedic on site, took his mangled limb to help in the training of her body recovery dog. In her defense, Economu said, "It was an unrecognizable mass of fl esh ... It wasn't a clean cut. You couldn't even recognize it as a foot ... If I had thought it was somehow re-attachable and usable, I would have gone to my commander." She was charged with second-degree petty theft and received six months of probation.

♦ You can whiten chopping boards with lemon juice. Just use the cut side of a lemon to scrub the board, let it sit for up to 10 minutes, and rinse clean.
♦ Here’s a fun activity for the kids: Let them “paint” cookies. Using clean craft brushes or watercolor brushes, the kids can use food coloring to paint designs on cookies. They can even paint the dough before it’s been cooked, and then see how the design spreads and settles.
♦ Need a funnel quickly? Double a sheet of aluminum foil and roll into a funnel shape. It works!
♦ “To help our children learn the placement of states, we glued a map to a piece of cardboard, then used a razor knife to cut each state out along its lines. This created a puzzle. It made learning
the states fun. We wrote the capitals on the backs, so we learned those, too.” -- M.A. in Georgia
♦“Out of prewash and looking at a nasty grease stain? Grab your dishwashing liquid soap (not the one you would put in your automatic dishwasher). It’s designed to break down grease, and I just dab it on, scrub a bit and then let it set for about a quarter of an hour. After that, I launder in hot water. It’s usually successful.” -- Nancy V., via email
Healthy Potato SaladThis slimmed-down salad (minus 50 calories and 7 fat grams per serving) has
just the right level of tangy fl avor and no gloppiness. We used light mayo (and less of it than the regular stuff) and swapped whole milk for low-fat buttermilk to keep it moist.
3 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
1 1/4 teaspoons salt1/4 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper3/4 cup buttermilk1/4 cup light mayonnaise
2 tablespoons snipped fresh dill2 tablespoons cider vinegar1 tablespoon Dijon mustard2 green onions, thinly sliced1. In 4-quart saucepan, combine potatoes, 1 teaspoon salt and enough water to
cover; heat to boiling on high. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer 10 minutes or until potatoes are just fork-tender.2. Meanwhile, in large bowl, whisk buttermilk with mayonnaise, dill, vinegar, Dijon, green onions, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper.3. Drain potatoes well. Toss hot potatoes with buttermilk mixture until coated. (Mixture will look very loose before chilling.) Cover and refrigerate potato salad at least 2 hours or overnight to blend fl avors and cool slightly, stirring gently after 1 hour. Makes 6 cups; serves 10.Each serving: About 150 calories, 2g total fat (0.5g saturated), 3mg cholesterol, 200mg sodium, 29g total carbohydrate, 2g dietary fi ber, 3g protein.

TimingWe’ve all heard the saying, “Timing is everything.” This is true even in the paranormal world. My clients frequently ask me how often they should come in for a reading. Since I’m paid by the hour, this always makes me smile. I’d love to tell them they need daily readings. What I do tell them is that they will know when it’s time for a reading. What I mean by that is, they will be given hints that it’s time for a reading. Someone might tell them, unexpectedly, about a reading they just had. They might frequently think about their last reading. Paranormal experiences might be happening to them. I explain that when they really feel they need a reading, they probably do. There are those people though, who become addicted to readings. My experience is that these people lack the self-confi dence to trust their own instincts. They would rather have a psychic tell them what they should do in their lives. These people request readings monthly or weekly and some want them daily. This is not a healthy way to live. When I fi nd that someone is requesting a reading again in a short amount of time I do a little
calculation. First I look back at how long their previous reading was. If it was only 15-30 minutes they still might have more questions. If it was for an hour or longer, my suspicion will be raised. If they request a 3rd reading in a short amount of time, I will talk to them before that reading to see if they actually have real topics to discuss or if they just want me to give them the answers to their own lives. I would also caution about something. If someone approaches you who claims to be a psychic and says that you are supposed to have a reading, turn and walk away. If that psychic was freely given information and told to fi nd you and give it to you – that information should be given for free. You should only pay someone to read you if it’s your idea. If this topic interests you please contact me for a reading or perhaps a class. 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.
