Star Tribune Features: Top 5 in the nationFrom the national Society for Features Journalism (2016)

Jennifer Hedberg is a seasonal worker about to be laid off — by the sun.

She turns ice into sculptures, lanterns, cocktail bars, towers and other looks-like-glass stuff. This time of year, she should be pretty busy, what with average temperatures still hovering around 30 degrees.

Specifically, she should be putting the final touches on the Middle-moon Creekwalk, a sort of frozen fantasy along a stretch of Minne-haha Creek south of Lake Harriet in Minneapolis. Seven years ago, Hedberg thought it would be fun to scatter, quite secretly, some icy spheres and shapes along the creek, illuminating them with candles.

“We wanted it to be a kind of ‘ding-dong dash,’ to have people just stumble upon the sight,” she said, evoking the childhood prank of ringing doorbells and sprinting away. In other words, a mystery, but a really lovely one.

But with temps in the 50s this weekend, ice is toast.Hedberg, 55, has been making ice globes for most of her life, ever

since her parents moved the family from California to Massachu-setts when she was 8.

“It was so cold and my mom was like, ‘How do I get these girls outside?’ ” she said. “She taught us how to make ice globes and I just never stopped.”

It was all for fun, though. Hedberg earned a degree in graphic design and worked freelance as well as with her cartographer hus-band Tom’s company, Hedberg Maps.

THE ICEMAN GOETHIce sculptor’s frozen gift to her neighborhood falls prey to unseasonable warmth.

A warm winter has cut short the ice-sculpting season of Jennifer Shea Hedberg and her husband, Tom Hedberg. From top, the couple at the ice bar they created along Lake of the Isles in Minneapolis.

Skyway apps have an opportunity to do more than help us get from here to there.

By JAMES LILEKS [email protected]

Imagine you’re from Argentina, right off the plane, standing on the sec-ond floor of a downtown Minneapolis office building, star ing at a map of sky-ways. It looks like angular snakes play-ing Twister.

You are here.You have to get there.Somehow.

Because this is Minnesota and peo-ple are good, a local person notes your confusion and offers to help. He hears where you’re headed. He points out two routes. One involves three blocks of out-side walking, but it’s cold. The other goes all the way, but there’s a tunnel.

A tunnel? A skyway tunnel?Right, well, you have to go down

two floors, then under the street, then across the street kittywhompus, or cad-dywhompus (I don’t know which term you use in Argentina), but that’ll take you right there. Oh, to heck with it. Fol-low me. …

It ought to be easier for strangers. The simplest approach: someone sitting in a

chair by the map, like an old elevator operator, offering to lead you to your destination, handing you off to another guide when you cross the street.

Neither Google nor Apple maps show skyways. Ask them for a route to a res-taurant from your hotel, and they’ll only show the streets. So people look at the maps on the wall, which present a flat overhead view that doesn’t really match up with the lateral, 3-D experience. Imag-ine all the Super Bowl visitors next year who will be lost and flummoxed. Wouldn’t it be nice if there were an app for them? There is. In fact, there are several. Let’s see how they work:

We need better skyway map appsSTREETSCAPES

We all could use a little kindness. Tell us how you’ve been kind to some-

one in your family, your school or your community. Did you share your lunch with a hungry classmate? Shovel the sidewalks for a neighbor? Or have you had your day brightened — or your life changed — by someone who was kind to you?

Greater Twin Cities United Way, the Star Tribune and U.S. Bank are once again sponsoring a student essay contest.

Students in grades three through five are invited to write about how they have been kind, or how kindness has touched their lives.

Teachers, parents and community leaders are encouraged to invite stu-dents to participate . Essays should be concise (about 100 words), inspirational and, most important, personal.

Prizes, donated by U.S. Bank, will be awarded to the top 10 winning essayists, and their stories will be published in the Star Tribune on March 27.

ESSAY CONTEST

Do these apps help chart your skyway course?

It’s all downhill from here as singles look for a match on Afton’s ski lifts.By AIMEE BLANCHETTE [email protected]

Afton Alps has the most Minnesotan thing ever planned Sunday for singles: chairlift speed dating.

That’s right, you can look for love in the lift line, test your compatibility on lifts of love and fall in love on an incline. (Also, you won’t need your long undies because temps are supposed to be in the 50s.)

Similar chairlift speed dating events have taken place around the country, but this is the first event of its kind at Afton Alps. Pam Hoye, marketing and public relations manager, says the ski hill hopes to make it an annual event.

“This is a great way for skiers and snowboarders to meet like-minded people,” she said. “Chair Six is a lon-ger ride and there’s some parts that are romantic because it brings you right up to the tree line.”

Here’s how the awesome/awkward adventure will work: Skiers and board-ers will get paired up by professional matchmakers, then ride the chairlift to the top of the hill together. If the ride goes well, they can ski down together, or hide behind their goggles and ski off on their own to find chemistry with someone else.

For every chairlift-ride “date” they go on, they’ll earn a raffle ticket for a prize at the end of the event.

Tickets are $30 ($10 for season pass-holders), and include a lift ticket, drink ticket, participation in the event and entry for prizes.

Registration starts at 2 p.m. Dates will go from 3 to 5 p.m., followed by a party at the base of the hill with food, drinks and music.

By MARC MORRONE • Newsday

Q: We have a male Siamese that we got from a breeder at age 12 weeks . He is now almost 2. He seems to be more attached to me than to anyone else, following me around the house and often sitting near or on me. He can be very sweet one minute, sit-ting on my lap as I scratch his head and neck. He’ll be purr-ing away and then suddenly he’ll turn on me and start bit-ing my feet.

He also randomly attacks me or my daughter while we’re walking around, biting and scratching our ankles and lower legs. I am covered with scratches. He doesn’t do this to my husband or son.

I thought maybe this was his way of being playful, but he really seems angry and fero-cious when he does this. Can you help me understand and deal with this behavior?A: Some people would say that your cat was isolated from other cats at too early an age and is regarding you as a play toy, but that does not seem to be the case here as you got him at 12 weeks and he does not lash out like this to the other family members . To me it just seems as if some cats have too much time on their hands and they just come up with these

weird games to amuse them-selves. At any rate I can offer these suggestions:

First, do not allow him to become overly stimulated when you are petting him. It seems that some cats, espe-cially Siamese, go into some kind of “red zone” when you pet them with a lot of pres-sure at the end of their spines or around the glands on their chins.

When he chooses to sit next to you on the couch, just pet him a couple of times and then stay calm around him with as little stimulation as possible. If he pushes the issue and starts to rub himself against you and you know that he is getting stimulated, then just get up off the couch and walk away. Do not grab him or push him off the couch as that will just create drama.

For his ambush attacks, you have to try a different approach. Go to the dollar store and buy plastic mist-ing bottles. Fill them up with water and leave them all over the house so that one is always within reach. When he is rushing toward you or your daughter to slash at you, just grab a mister and spray the water at him in as calm a manner as possible. You must do this consistently every time. You do not want him to

think that you are doing this in response to his behavior, as that is a punishment and cats do not react well to punish-ment.

You just want him to think that when he decides to scratch you to see the drama that ensues, then water will rain down on him. When he realizes that the behavior is no longer fun, he will most likely stop doing it.

Doorbell dilemmaQ: We have a Maltipoo and two Pomeranians. Every time our doorbell rings, all three rush to the door, barking hysterically, and we have to pick them all up before we can open the door. We had a professional trainer come in to show us what to do, but he could not do anything. Any advice?A: This is not an easy prob-lem to solve in a house with multiple dogs. If you have only one dog that does this, then all you need to do is stand in front of the door and block the dog’s way to it until the dog calms down and sits and waits for your command.

Obviously this is not pos-sible with a pack . There was a time in my life when I had eight dogs, and you can imag-ine the drama that occurred when the doorbell rang. I

finally solved the problem by keeping a jar of dog treats by the front door , and when the doorbell rang and the pack sprang into action, I would grab a handful of treats and throw them to the other side of the room. Then I let my guests in.

Soon the dogs figured out that the doorbell ring-ing meant that treats were going to appear on the other side of the living room and, of course, the first dog there ended up getting the most treats. So the whole pack learned to run to that spot as soon as the bell rang and would wait there until I threw the treats at them. They no longer focused on the door at all.

That situation taught me how with positive reinforce-ment you could teach an ani-mal to do just about anything you wanted, and my whole life got a lot easier.

However, this method does not work with all dogs as some dogs have a higher food drive than others. Alter-natively, a spray bottle full of water kept by the door and then sprayed at the dogs while they are barking may be just the thing.

Anger management for cat

Sky Walker (iPhone; free at the App Store)

The first thing it says when you fire it up: “Make sure you can see your starting place!”

Oh, so I should take the blindfold off? Got it.

A nice 3-D image of down-town appears, with all the cafes and hotels provided by the omniscient Google. You touch the location where you want to be. A blue arrow appears; it says “Follow me!” and it points you where you need to go. As you move, it moves, always ahead, like a helpful dog lead-ing you to the well into which Timmy fell.

When asked to find a route from City Hall to a bar on Hennepin (a route that might appeal to someone who’d just dealt with bureaucracy), the app led me to Rand Tower and, sadly, no bar. The second time it found a route, but no one using the app for the first time would know the brown line indicated a tunnel under the light rail tracks.

Sky Walker has a home-made feel, but it works. It gets you from one point to the other, which is enough.

Minneapolis Skyway (Android; free. Available in the Google Play Store)

The first review seems to highlight a few small prob-lems: “It didn’t tell me where I was and it couldn’t tell me where I wanted to go.”

Another review:“This is basically a screen

shot of Google maps and someone drew on blue lines to indicate the sky walk. No way to find things that are near by. It does, however, pop up ads at you every few seconds, so that’s nice.”

At least you have to keep dismissing the ads, which keeps you alert so you don’t walk into walls! Look on the bright side.

Skyway Finder (iPhone; free. And for good reason.)

This app is not as helpful as Sky Walker. And that’s put-ting it kindly. Enter a location

and a destination, and it’ll draw a red line that doesn’t give you a sense of where you are or where you’re going, but at least you’ll get some exercise. I tested it by plotting a route from City Hall to Nicollet Ave-nue, and it wound through the Government Center, headed in the wrong direction to the parking ramp, dragged through the Thrivent build-ing, then pointed me toward the IDS Center.

But before I got to the IDS, it juked southwest, taking me all the way to Orchestra Hall, where it dead-ended in a parking ramp, a block short of Nicollet.

On the plus side, the app also has the Hong Kong sky-ways.

More info is betterAre these apps more help-

ful than looking at the skyway maps on the wall and wander-ing off with a tiny guttering flame of hope in your heart? Sure. But a better app needs to be made. Not by the city. Municipal apps are lame. If a business consortium wanted to throw a few bucks at a hun-gry web developer, he or she

might want to consider the matter of the Thirsty Texans.

They were staring at a Min-neapolis skyway map, tracing lines with their fingers as if downloading the route. I went into Good Samaritan Mode and asked if they needed help. They were trying to get to the

U.S. Bank Stadium, because they figured there’d be good bars and restaurants there.

And there’s the rub: The skyway maps, like the apps I tested, aim to tell you how to get to the place you want to go. They also should tell you what’s around — the restau-rants, the bars, the famous places, the history of the building, some old street pho-tos, maybe even some details about the skyway itself (i.e., it was the first built, the most recent, the one Mary Tyler Moore used, etc).

If a new app were really good, even people who know the skyways by heart would use those apps because they’d show you something off your usual route through the Habi-trail. The app could even make your phone buzz when the lunch joint you’re approach-ing has a coupon.

The skyway is a commercial ecosystem with its own par-ticular culture, and deserves a good app. If it were a good app, out-of-towners would blend right in.

They’d be walking around staring down at their phones — just like the rest of us.

Cable network will air women’s soccer games on Saturday afternoons.

By CHRISTOPHER PALMERI, LUCAS SHAW and GERRY SMITH • Bloomberg

Lifetime, the cable TV channel famous for movies with names like “The Hus-band She Met Online,” will begin airing National Wom-en’s Soccer League games on Saturday afternoons as part of a broader strategy to con-nect with a new generation of women.

Matches from the 10-team professional league will be shown live and include a pregame show, the network said. The first game airs April 15, with 25 planned, including three playoff matches.

Lifetime’s move shows that women’s TV is reacting to sweeping changes in the nation’s culture and view-ing habits. Oxygen, a female-oriented network owned by Comcast, recently announced that it will focus on crime shows. OWN, the cable net-work founded by Oprah Win-frey and Discovery Commu-nications Inc., has shifted from self-improvement talk shows to dramas.

“We’ve always been for women and we always will be for women,” said Nancy Dubuc, chief executive of A+E Networks. “How we express that will be fluid over time as generations move for-ward.”

The deal will include Life-time logos on uniforms and a joint venture that will sell sponsorship opportunities and other broadcast rights for the league.

Lifetime has, like other TV channels, had to deal with shrinking audiences and pay-TV subscribers dumping traditional cable packages in favor of online entertainment. The net-work’s subscriber count fell

3 percent to 91.2 million last year, while revenue declined a similar amount to $863 mil-lion, according to SNL Kagan estimates.

At the same time, the final of the 2015 Women’s World Cup was the most-watched soccer game ever in the United States — men’s or women’s — drawing 25.4 million viewers. Viewership of the event nearly doubled from 2011.

Lifetime, founded in 1982 and once known as the Cable Health Network, prospered with made-for-TV mov-ies that typically featured women being mistreated by men. The channel has in recent years been rethinking its focus and mission, accord-ing to Dubuc .

With a promotional cam-paign called “Welcome to the Fempire,” the network is trying to reach younger, more socially conscious females.

Dubuc, 48, said, “You had a generation of women, of which I’m part, where it was a stigma to be associated with feminism, there was a back-lash. Now you have a gener-ation that is clearly embrac-ing feminism, because at the end of the day the definition of feminism is just equality.”

With that generation in mind, the Lifetime movies also are getting a revamp, with celebrities cast in roles designed to generate social media buzz, such as Cher in a film about the water crisis in Flint, Mich., and Courtney Love in one about the murder-ous Menendez brothers. New unscripted shows include “The Pop Game,” featuring rap producer Timbaland and a group of aspiring singers.

This is not Lifetime’s first foray into sportscasting. It used to broadcast games from the Women’s National Basketball Association in the late 1990s before those rights moved to ESPN. “That may have just been a venture before its time,” Dubuc said.

P E A N U T S C H A R L E S S C H U L Z HOROSCOPE

Your birthday today: Family business

booms this year. Aesthetic choices

will matter more than you might have

guessed over the next 10 weeks. As you

make your environment lovelier and

better suited to you, you attract fasci-

nating people. The opportunities in July

and September will pay double on the

investment. Sagittarius and Virgo adore

you. Your lucky numbers are: 14, 18, 20,

45 and 33.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Just as you

have clicked “Agree” without reading

the internet agreement jargon that goes

along with the software download, you

might have agreed to what a loved one

wants without understanding what it is.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It’s human

nature to feel entitled to the things that

the other humans close by seem to

have. Those who compare and fall short

become discontented. It makes you

think twice about whom you surround

yourself with.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There are

people with similar talents to yours who

do a similar job to what you can do. But

it’s not the same. Your contributions are

rare! No one else can do what you do in

the way you do it.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). It’s the

people who have known one another for

a long time who fi nd it the most chal-

lenging to refrain from argument and

bickering that they would never engage

in with less-familiar people.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Certain rituals

have served you well. Build on the trend

by creating a ritual around the habit you

want to incorporate in your daily life.

Put in the style and quirkiness that will

make it your own.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’d rather

be acknowledged for something minute

and very specifi c to you than accept big,

general praise. You’ll get your wish in a

compliment you can take to heart.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Maybe you

want something you shouldn’t want.

Then again, what if you thought that

it was perfectly acceptable to want

whatever you want in whatever

quantity you believe would be most

satisfying?

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You

contribute daily to the lives of others

in ways big and small. Good fortune

follows your indulgence in an artistic

whimsy; appreciating the arts in any

way at all counts.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your

light, casual curiosity about the people

you encounter today is nonetheless

focused enough to be fl attering. Perfect

strangers will open up and tell you what

their innermost circle doesn’t even

know.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your

relationship with someone from a differ-

ent generation will get interesting. You

may realize that there is much you know

that can never really be understood by

people who weren’t your age when it

happened.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The

generosity you deal out today is hardly

unusual, though those who are not used

to the perks that come with being your

friend may experience it as such.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). In the fairy

tales, someone is a hero and someone

gets saved. Today’s real-life scenario

features several heroes who save them-

selves through the process of helping

others.

LOCAL RADIO GUIDE

SOUND ADVICE

By DON LINDICH • Special to the Star Tribune

Q: I purchased an Audio-Technica AT-LP120-USB turntable based on your recommenda-tion and have really enjoyed listening to my record collection again. I’ve even had a few friends jump back into vinyl after listening to my system.

Now I need some help upgrading my turn-table. I changed to a cork mat, but it didn’t improve playback, as far as I can tell. Do you have another recommendation that might be a better choice? I’m also considering upgrading the stock AT95E cartridge. Would the Grado Reference Platinum 2 cartridge be a good fit? What would you recommend?A: The mat to get is Herbie’s Way Excellent II Turntable Mat, available from Herbie’s Audio Labs for about $75. But focus on the cartridge before you change the mat. That way you will know how much of a difference the mat makes and can decide if you want to keep it.

As for the cartridge, the $350 Grado Refer-ence Platinum 2 on a $249 entry level turntable is a classic example of too much cartridge for not enough turntable. You need a better turn-table for this cartridge to perform its best.

Changing cartridges isn’t easy. They require precise mounting and alignment, a delicate task involving a fragile item with tiny wires and screws . There’s a way to provide a notice-able increase in performance while avoiding these setup hassles.

Many cartridges can be upgraded by replac-ing the stylus assembly, which just plugs into the cartridge body. The quality of the replacement stylus gets better as you go up the model line to more expensive versions. These upgrades are available for your AT95E.

LP Gear’s CFN95SE stylus will make an immediate difference for only $50 . It uses a bet-ter diamond mounted on a carbon fiber canti-lever (the wand that holds the needle). All you have to do is remove the old stylus and plug in the new one to experience a bigger soundstage along with more detailed and refined sound. Owners of the AT-LP120-USB and Fluance RT81 turntables should go right to the CFN95SE (tinyurl.com/95stylus) when they need a new stylus or an easy, inexpensive upgrade.

For a truly dramatic upgrade, LP Gear’s the Vessel A3SE cartridge (tinyurl.com/vessela3se) is a world-beater at $99. I tried it with my Tech-nics SL-1210M5G turntable, my usual cartridge comparison test bed. To say I was wowed is a huge understatement, and I very clearly pre-ferred the Vessel A3SE to a lot of $400 cartridges I have tried. The presentation is slightly forward in perspective, with sound that is silky-smooth, rich, clean, precise and detailed .

Experiencing the Vessel A3SE and its per-formance for the price is the most shocking experience I have had in 15 years of reviewing audio. There is a complete line of the Vessel cartridges, and they also can be upgraded by changing the stylus, so it can grow with you when you move up to a new turntable.

The A3SE also comes pre-mounted and aligned in a removable headshell for $148 (A3SE Ultimate SET.) This avoids mounting and align-ment headaches for Technics and Audio-Tech-nica turntable users, and you can switch back to the original cartridge whenever you want. It is worth the extra $49 if you have the budget.

TV CRITIC’S PICKS

An elusive snow leopard in “Planet Earth II.” DAVID WILLIS

Work it, NatashaAussie actress Natasha Bassett takes on the role of pop icon Britney Spears in “Brit-ney Ever After,” which, based solely on the trailer, seems more fascinated with the pop icon’s failed relationships than, say, the recording of “ ... Baby One More Time.” Not surprisingly, Spears has not given her blessing to the film.7 p.m. Saturday, Lifetime

Long live the queen“Victoria,” the current offering from “Mas-terpiece,” seems to be heading toward cult status. Last month’s series premiere reached 6.3 million viewers, which is 17 percent more than the highest-rated episode of “Down-ton Abbey” in its first season. Starring Jenna Coleman as the young Queen Victoria, the series wraps up its season March 5.8 p.m. Sunday, TPT, Ch. 2

Globe trotting“Planet Earth II,” another breathtaking trip around the world, may actually be an upgrade from the 2006 original, thanks to new gizmos and Job-like patience from the six-hour documentary’s ace squad of filmmakers. Each episode falls into a somewhat predictable pattern, but for raw demonstrations of the forces of nature, this outing is hard to beat.8 p.m. Saturday, BBC America, AMC and Sundance

Friday’s Answer

SUDOKU

Dear Amy: I am a groom-to-be. My fiancée and I grew up eight hours away from each other. My mother and my fiancée are close. Sev-eral months ago, my mom planned a bridal shower in my hometown. My fiancée’s family was annoyed, upset and somewhat hostile about this, thinking that my mother was trying to usurp their role.

My mother had assumed that they would also host a bridal shower in their home-town. But they said they have never heard of someone hav-ing more than one bridal shower.

My future in-laws have not yet met my mother, who is one of the kindest people you could ever meet. This was quite hurtful to me.

After planning their own shower, my fiancée’s family has now decided not to have it and invited themselves to the one my mother is hosting.

This makes things super-awkward, because we don’t have room at the venue and already had to trim the list .

Did my mother violate eti-quette by planning a shower? Is there a polite way to tell my fiancée’s family (mother and two sisters) that there is no space for them?

Amy says: The most appro-priate people to throw bridal showers are not mothers or mothers-in-law, but brides-maids or friends of the couple .

This current dust-up illus-trates one good reason behind this recommendation. But yes, it is fine to have two par-ties in two different towns.

Yes, your family must find space for these three women at your hometown shower. Even if they were planning their own shower, the polite thing would have been to include and invite them from the start.

It is a shame that this is hap-pening — normally in-laws have to meet personally before they commence the sniping. You and your fiancée need to work as a team to establish that you expect people to behave and to respect your various family relationships.

Don’t take sidesDear Amy: I have a friend of

almost 30 years who has really hurt me.It started when her Facebook comments revealed the dirt in her marriage.

Then her husband made a very public posting on Face-book to acknowledge his wife’s accusations and to say he loved her. I made a sup-portive comment to his post. He has since deleted his page .

Later that same day I texted my friend and asked her how they were doing. I said I hoped things were getting better. She supplied many more unsa-vory details about his behav-ior, and I was livid with him. Then she disappeared.

When months passed with no response to my texts, I got worried so I called a relative of hers to find out if she had been heard from.

She replied that I was not to contact her family and that the comment I left on her husband’s Facebook page was misinterpreted by her friends, and they questioned whether I was the person he was sleeping with!

I am furious. She has decided I’m sleeping with her husband because I wrote something supportive to him? Am I in the wrong?

Amy says: You are not in the wrong, but consider this a very useful lesson: Never, ever, violate your own mari-tal and friendship neutrality on Facebook.

I have a policy never to respond publicly when some-one exposes their relationship troubles on social media. Any comment you make is seen not only by the person you intend to receive it, but by circles upon circles of their friends and connections, with predictable results: Someone who has never met you will dive into a false assumption and your real-world relation-ship will suffer.

On Jan. 31, doctors at Stanley Medical College and Hospital in Chennai, India, removed a live, full-grown cockroach from the nasal cavity of a 42-year-old woman whose nose had been “itchy.” Two hospitals were unable to help her, but at Stanley, Dr. M N Shankar, chief of ear-nose-throat, used an endoscope, forceps, and, for 45 minutes, a suction device — because, he said, the roach “didn’t seem to want to come out.” Another doctor on the team noted that they’ve removed beads and similar items from the nasal cavity , “but not a cockroach, especially not one this large.”

Deal you can’t refuseZachary Bennett and Karen Nourse have

found Manhattan quite affordable, reported the New York Post — by simply not paying, for six years now, the $4,750 monthly rent on their loft-style apartment in the Chelsea neighborhood, citing New York state’s “loft law,” which they say technically forbids the landlord from collecting. Since the other eight units of their building are “commer-cial,” the landlord believes it doesn’t need a “residential certificate of occupancy,” but Bennett and Nourse believe the law only exempts buildings with at least two resi-dences, and for some reason, the landlord has obstinately declined to initiate eviction or, until recently, to sue (for back rent, fees and electricity).

Leading economic indicatorIn 2001, Questcor Pharmaceuticals

bought the rights to make Acthar Gel, a hor-mone injection to treat a rare form of infan-tile epilepsy, and gradually raised the price from $40 a vial to $28,000 a vial. The British company Mallinckrodt bought Questcor in 2014 and apparently figured the vials were still too cheap, raising the price to $34,000. However, the Federal Trade Commission noticed that Mallinckrodt also during the latter period bought out — and closed down — the only company manufacturing a simi-lar, cheaper version of the product, thus ensuring that Mallinckrodt had cornered the market. In January, the FTC announced that Mallinckrodt agreed to a $100 million settlement of the agency’s charge of illegal anti-competitive practices. ( $100 million is only slightly more than the price of giving one vial to each infant expected to need it in the next year.)

Precocious Girl ScoutCharlotte McCourt, 11, of South Orange,

N.J., saw her sales zoom when she posted “brutally honest” reviews of the Girl Scout cookies she was selling — giving none of them a “10” and labeling some with dour descriptions. She was hoping to sell 300 boxes, but as of the end of January, had registered 16,430. For the record, the best cookie was the Samoa, rated 9, but long-time favorites like the Trefoil (“boring”) rated 6 and the Do-si-do (“bland”) 5. The new Toffee-tastic was a “bleak, flavorless, gluten-free wasteland.”

Less cowbell!Applicants for passports in Switzerland

are evaluated in part by neighbors , and animal-rights campaigner Nancy Holten, 42, was rejected in January because towns-people view her as obnoxious, with, said a Swiss People’s Party spokesperson, a “big mouth.” Among Holten’s “sins” was her constant criticism of the country’s hal-lowed fascination with cowbells — that make, according to Holten, “hundred deci-bel,” “pneumatic drill”-type sounds.

Three kids and community work filled in the gaps until 2009 when — in her annual ritual of making ice globes — she figured out a different way of making them using heavy-duty balloons and a special base. When a friend suggested creating a DIY kit, the Win-tercraft business was born.

First, fill a pond with waterThere are larger ice sculpting companies,

as well as freelance sculptors who create replicas of buildings, corporate logos, ice bars and more.

Hedberg operates on a smaller scale, although her creations were on display recently in the Commons park by U.S. Bank Stadium for its Midwinter Light event. For the City of Lakes Luminary Loppet, she cre-ated the first Enchanted Forest on Lake of the Isles, which now has become a showcase for other sculptors.

“I would kill for a walk-in freezer,” she said, instead owning several chest freezers and, ideally, being able to consider her yard one big refrigerated warehouse.

Many of the Hedbergs’ creations begin by flooding pools in the yard. When the water freezes over to a depth of 1 to 2 inches, she and her husband lift the sheets of ice. Some-times they crack into shards, which can give her odd angles for the shapes she makes, from ice walls to flower “petals.”

The globes, like snowflakes, have their own look, with different patterns of bubbles shooting through the sphere.

“Pure water freezes first, pushing any impurities to the center of the globe,” she said, explaining how the particles release oxygen as they move. “They’re like little comet trails created as the dust moves toward the center.” With a wry nod toward science, she calls them “shooties.”

“It’s embracing nature and working with it,” Tom Hedberg said.

She’s now hoping still to build a small-scale castle to be photographed for a chil-dren’s book, and is working on a how-to

book of her own, “Ice Luminary Magic,” to be released later this year.

A last hurrah for iceThe impetus for the Middlemoon Cree-

kwalk actually came from looking over all of the winter’s ice shapes that filled their backyard.

“You realize at some point that the sun is going to kill everything,” she said. “It was a way of giving all these experiments a last hurrah.”

After the first few stealthy years, the

event has become highly anticipated. The Lynnhurst Neighborhood Association now rounds up volunteers to make their own luminarias and help install Hedberg’s sculp-tures.

Mary Arneson and Dale Hammerschmidt are among the contributors, the retired couple having schlepped 55 lanterns to last year’s event.

“There’s always been something about lighting things up in winter to make it more interesting,” said Arneson, who lives in Lin-den Hills. “I have this real weakness for snow sculptures. I’ve done them all my life. But seeing luminaries at the Loppet years ago got me thinking in a new way.”

Three years ago, Arneson began mak-ing lanterns to set out around their home. Then they started freezing more elaborate displays.

“We live near an elementary school, so the kids love seeing what we’ve made,” she said.

Arneson now can suspend ice cubes — think goldfish — made in specially shaped ice cube trays inside larger “panes” of ice. (Check them out on her blog, Icelanterns.blogspot.com.)

“It’s really brought the neighborhood together,” she said of the Middlemoon Cree-kwalk, noting how passers-by stop and chat, how other neighbors have started making their own creations. “It’s been” — and she can’t help herself — “a real icebreaker.”

It’s a joke in the midst of sorrow.“This weather is making me so very, very

sad,” Arneson said of our springlike temper-atures. Still, if a cold snap arrives with a chill-ing blanket of snow, they know they could make a lot of ice lanterns in no time at all.

For now, though, they’ll monitor Hed-berg’s Wintercraft page on Facebook for any chance that winter may yet return to winter, however briefly.

Hedberg is taking the long view.“We could still do one in 2017,” she said.

“But it might be in November.”

THE ICEMAN GOETH

ø ICE from E1

Ballet de Lorraine offered fresh takes on two works .

D A N C E R E V I E W R E B E C C A R I T Z E L

Choreographer Merce Cunning-ham is big in France.

While the American modern dance icon, now being celebrated in a massive Walker Art Center exhibi-tion, was still alive, the company he founded in 1954 often booked more dates in Europe than in the U.S. After the choreographer’s death in 2009, the troupe went on a two-year Legacy tour before disbanding.

Thus far, no American company has stepped up and embraced per-forming his works regularly. That’s why, when the Walker Art Center and Northrop auditorium looked for a dance company to commemorate Cunningham, they turned to France.

CCN-Ballet de Lorraine solidly performed two works by the modern master Thursday night at Northrop, as well as an entertaining but overly weird contemporary piece that clearly showed Cunningham’s influence. The company is on its first U.S. tour .

Not a bad gig to get courtesy of

a Minneapolis art museum. Merci, Minnesota, the dancers should be saying. And thank you, France, for preserving Cunningham’s legacy.

The twisted gold velour curtain from “Sounddance” is one of the largest pieces featured in the Walker exhibit. It was so, so good to see a replica of Mark Lancaster’s 1975 twisted tapestry onstage at Northrop. The Ballet de Lorraine also revived “Fabrications,” which was commis-sioned by the Walker and premiered

at Northrop in 1987. The program opened, however,

with a new piece for the company’s women by Cecilia Bengolea and Francois Chaignaud. “Devoted” is a rather wacky mash-up of Philip Glass music, Irish step dancing and chaînés turns. The French word for “chains,” these turns are usually performed on a diagonal, and require dancers to travel across the floor on their toes moving sideways, flipping with each step. The gimmick here was for the

dancers’ arm positions to vary each time they, too, took a spin onstage. Some were stunning, others cheeky, like waiters balancing plates .

But for added weirdness, the lines often ended with toe stomps or for-ward high kicks lifted from Irish dance (all the costumes were green, with bows). Glass’ loud, electronic choral music didn’t match well with the ballet or Celtic motifs, but that was more or less the point.

As the Walker exhibit makes clear, Cunningham’s musical choices were rather famously based on chance. His former music director David Tudor used to create live mixes for “Fabrications.” Ballet de Lorraine’s decision to add a few contemporary pop tunes (such as the 2011 earworm “Keep Your Head Up”) to the staticky, channel-surfing amalgam helped keep the piece feeling like it was cre-ated in a studio last week.

In fact, excerpts from “Fabrica-tions” were performed at the Walker last week, when four of Cunning-ham’s last dancers reunited during the “Common Time” grand opening. (Two more presentations are planned in March and April.) “Fabrications” is among Cunningham’s most poignant

works, with strong connections for the couples, and even a moment that finds a woman reclining and a man resting a hand on her knee.

Melissa Toogood and Dylan Cross-man performed that sequence last week. But seeing the full work onstage and in costume was more powerful. Though not classical ballerinas, these dancers brought a lightness to Cun-ningham’s work, and exceptional partnering skills. “Sounddance” is full of petite allegro footwork, lifts and jumps.

I had the privilege of seeing one of the final “Sounddance” perfor-mances during the company’s Legacy tour. The dancers spring through the curtain one by one, and exit the same way, but in a frenzy. When the final French dancer made his exit Thurs-day at Northrop, he jumped far higher than I ever saw a Cunningham dancer get. I gasped, and that’s not a criticism of either troupe.

Like banners on Bastille Day, may this French company long fly the flag for Cunningham.

French dancers re-create Merce Cunningham

LAURENT PHILIPPEBallet de Lorraine dancers performed “Sounddance,” a work from the ’70s.

R E V I E W : Maria Schneider’s Grammy-winning album was the centerpiece of this homecoming concert.

By MICHAEL ANTHONY Special to the Star Tribune

It’s possible to imagine that T.S. Eliot had Maria Schneider in mind when he wrote (in “Four Quartets”) “ ... and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.”

Schneider, perhaps the most admired big-band jazz leader and composer of our time, has lived and worked in New York City since the late ’80s. But she derives much of her inspiration from her experiences growing up in Windom, Minn.

The title piece from her 1996 album, “Coming About,” evokes summer days sailing on a lake near Windom as a child.

Her largest effort in this vein, “The Thompson Fields,” a record that earned Schneider a Grammy last year , is a series of reminiscences about a neighbor’s farm, a work of quiet but striking beauty that recalls images of the prairie, of milkweed, of birds and, in one instance, a tornado she watched with her mother. It is surely Schneider’s masterpiece.

Excerpts from “The Thompson Fields” were the centerpiece — and the heart — of Schneider’s con-cert with her 18-piece band at the O’Shaughnessy on Thursday night. It was the start of a tour that will finish with several concerts in California.

Schneider opened her 95-minute set with an especially beguiling num-ber from that disc, “A Potter’s Song,” a tribute to the late Laurie Frink, who played trumpet in the band and was an expert potter. As on the record, accordionist Gary Versace played the wistful opening passages. The num-ber built to a majestic climax, then faded away gently as Versace brought back the opening theme.

Marshall Gilkes on trombone and Greg Gisbert on fluegelhorn took deft solos in “The Monarch and the Milk-weed.” Later, two impressive veterans of this band, Donny McCaslin on tenor saxophone and Scott Robinson on bari-tone sax, played wailing solos on “Arbi-ters of Evolution,” then joined for an explosive duet. Trumpeter Mike Rodri-guez proved to be a master of strato-spheric high notes during “Data Lords,” an exciting new Schneider composition propelled by fierce, staccato punctua-tion from the brass section.

With each record and each all-too-rare concert, Schneider adds new colors and new visions to her artistry. Her ever-evolving style and her use of a through-composed format give her music a com-positional depth and a freshness that continue to surprise. Even the daunt-ing economics of keeping a big band together hasn’t defeated her. (Schnei-der will return on her own April 8 as guest artist of the JazzMN Orchestra in a concert at Hopkins High School.)

Beyond the impressive music-making, this was, of course, a home-coming for Schneider. The concert had a party atmosphere. Half the pop-ulation of Windom seemed to be on hand. One of them was Doris Schnei-der, Maria’s mother, who said after the concert that, yes, she’s a jazz fan.
