In the late summer of 1862, four wandering Sioux hunters killedfive settlers at Acton, in Meeker County. The four Indians werehunting for food and had come up empty handed. They noticeda basket of eggs near a farm and when one Indian reached to take the eggs, another one stopped him and advised his friend to not take the eggs because they were not rightfully his. This one when asked if he feared the white man stated that he would killany white that stood in his way if he had the company of his brothers. The four then marched into the farm and killed the fivewhite settlers. The farm that this happened at was the Baker Farm. One might think that this was the cause for the bloody Indianuprising that followed but it wasn’t that simple. The Baker Farm massacre was the flame to the fire but what was the gasoline? What had built up the hatred for the Dakota Indians against the white man?First off, the Sioux had surrendered a numerous part of their land to the whites when they expanded westward intoMinnesota. In all they surrendered 28 million acres throughdifferent treaties, 21 million of those acres coming from theTraverse des Sioux Treaty of 1851. After all of these treatieswere reluctantly agreed upon the Sioux were left with tworeservations for the 7,000 of them in the Minnesota River valley. That and the promise of annuities for their land was their fortune. The government back then was rarely on time with theirpayments and the tribes had to trade with the fur traders oncredit. When the money did arrive, the fur traders grabbedmost of it and the tribe was left with virtually nothing.In 1861 there was massive crop failure and along with thecontinued Bureaucratic hold up of land payments the Sioux became desperate for supplies and faced starvation. So prevalentwas their resentment for the white settlers that, after the killingin Acton and with many of the able bodied white men off fighting the Civil War, many rallied behind their chiefs LittleCrow and Shakopee for an all out commitment to the uprising. Like a prairie fire , their bitterness burned across the countrysideand quickly turned into one of the bloodiest Indian Wars.Within five weeks the uprising was defeated with many Indianfamilies attempting to flee into the Dakota territory for safety. 1700 Sioux and mixed blood sympathizers were captured. Three hundred or more of these were tried and sentenced to deathwaiting the final word from President Lincoln. The President’s decision however reflected leniency. 38 Sioux instead of 300 were hanged at Mankato in a mass execution the day after Christmas in 1862. In late April of 1863, the remaining condemned men, along with the survivors of the Fort Snelling concentration campwere placed on boats which transported them from Mankatoto Davenport, Iowa. There they were imprisoned for anadditional three years. Those from Fort Snelling were further shipped down the Mississippi to St. Louis and then up theMissouri to the Crow Creek Reservation in South Dakota.

PICKLE THIS!

Many foods can be pickled, including eggs, pigs feet, fi sh and numerous vegetables. Of course, the “pickle” most of us think of is the cucumber, whether it is a sweet gherkin, bread & butter, dill or other variety. • Pickles have been around for over 4,000 years. Cucumbers were brought to the Tigris Valley of Mesopotamia (present day Iraq) from India. We don’t know who actually came up with the idea to put cucumbers in a brine, which is the pickling liquid used to preserve and “pickle” the cucumbers. Evidence has been found by archaeologists and anthropologists that the ancient Mesopotamians pickled cucumbers.• The brine originally was salt water only, but later vinegar was added. Subsequently, herbs and spices have been added to get the fl avors that create different varieties of pickles. • Ancient sources refer to nutritional benefi ts of pickles, claiming they give physical as well as spiritual strength. Julius Caesar and other Roman emperors made them available to their troops, and it is said that Cleopatra considered them an important beauty aid for her diet. Pickled vegetables, rich in vitamin C, were also important in the diet of sailors to prevent scurvy. • According to Rabbi Gil Marks, cucumbers achieved great popularity in many parts of Europe and the Middle East, but arguably nowhere more than among Eastern European Jews, who ate them with black bread and later potatoes as the bulk of their diet."• Over 20 billion pickles are packed in the United States each year: That is about 9 pounds (4 kg) per person. More than 50 percent of the cucumbers grown in the United States are made into pickles. Michigan and North Carolina are the top pickle-producing states. • International Pickle Week, one of the country’s longest running promotions is held for 10 days during the last two weeks of May.• All fresh, crisp pickles have the distinctive pickle “crunch,” audible at 10 paces.• Feel free to crunch away! They are a healthy treat with very few calories and zero fat.

Recently I was given a lot of clues that something was going to happen. For a week I found pennies everywhere I went. Pennies that were always face up. I didn’t fi nd a single one that was face down. My father looked like Abraham Lincoln. My father is also deceased. A few days later I received an email that included a video about a child playing in the backyard with his dog. It reminded me of my own children and the dog we had when they were small. That dog has been gone for 18 years. The same day I received the email I could not concentrate on anything. I would fi nd myself sitting and staring off into space. And I kept going back to watch the video. The day after that my 14-year-old dog passed away. Had I put together the signs that were being given to me, I would have known ahead of time what was about to happen. My father is always there during my time of need. And now I know that both of my dogs are together and being cared for on the other side. I have a sister on the other side that lets me know she’s around by fl ickering the kitchen

lights. She likes to do it when I’m baking. I fi nd it a comfort to know she’s there with me. I take that opportunity to visit with her. Paying attention to the signs that are given to us can be tricky. Sometimes the signs are simply that our loved ones, who have passed over, are still with us. They will give us a touch or a memory. You will notice the scent of a loved one or the taste of some delicious treat we haven’t had in years. Something that perhaps only grandma made once a year. Sometimes it’s simply a penny left face up. I hope that you are able to fi gure out the signs that are being given to you by your loved ones on the other side. I know they are sending them. We just need to pay attention when things tend to repeat themselves. 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.

On July 16, 1863, the draft riots enter their fourth day in New York City in response to the Enrollment Act. Although avoiding military service became much more diffi cult, wealthier citizens could still pay a commutation fee of $300 to remain at home.

On July 15, 1903, the newly formed Ford Motor Company takes its fi rst order, from Chicago dentist Ernst Pfenning. The $850 two-cylinder Model A automobile with a tonneau (or backseat) was produced at Ford’s plant on Mack Street (now Mack Avenue) in Detroit, and delivered to Dr. Pfenning just over a week later.

On July 12, 1957, Dwight Eisenhower becomes the fi rst president to ride in a helicopter, a Bell UH-13-J Sioux. Eisenhower suggested the idea to the Secret Service, which saw it as safer and more effi cient than the traditional

limousine motorcade.

On July 14, 1968, Atlanta Braves slugger Henry “Hank” Aaron hits the 500th home run of his career in a 4-2 win over the San Francisco Giants. Aaron hit a three-run shot in the third inning off Giants’ pitcher Mike McCormick to become the seventh player in baseball history to hit 500 homers.

On July 17, 1975, as part of a mission aimed at developing space rescue capability, the U.S. spacecraft Apollo 18 and the Soviet spacecraft Soyuz 19 rendezvous and dock in space. During the 44-hour Apollo-Soyuz embrace, the astronauts and cosmonauts conducted experiments, shared meals and held a joint news conference.

On July 13, 1985, at Wembley Stadium in London, Prince Charles and Princess Diana offi cially open Live Aid, a worldwide rock concert organized to raise money for the relief of famine-stricken Africans. The 16-hour “superconcert” was globally linked by satellite to more than a billion viewers in 110 nations.

On July 18, AD 64, the great fi re of

Rome breaks out and destroys much of the city. Despite the well-known stories, there is no evidence that Roman emperor Nero either started the fi re or played the fi ddle while it burned. The fi ddle did not even exist at the time. Nero was actually 35 miles away in Antium when the fi re broke out.

On July 21, AD 365, a powerful earthquake off the coast of Greece causes a tsunami that devastates the city of Alexandria, Egypt. It was not until 1995 that archaeologists discovered the ruins of the old city off the coast of present-day Alexandria.

On July 19, 1879, Doc Holliday commits his fi rst murder, killing a man for shooting up his New Mexico saloon. Despite his formidable reputation as a deadly gunslinger, Doc Holliday only engaged in eight shootouts during his life, and it has only been verifi ed that he killed two men.

On July 24, 1901, William Sydney Porter, otherwise known as O. Henry, is released from prison after serving three years in jail for embezzlement from a bank in Austin, Texas. He began writing

stories to support his young daughter while he was in prison.

On July 22, 1923, John Herbert Dillinger joins the Navy in order to avoid charges of auto theft in Indiana, marking the beginning of America’s most notorious criminal’s downfall.

On July 20, 1972, a National Highway Traffi c Administration study concludes that 1960-63 Chevrolet Corvair models are safe, contradicting charges made by consumer advocate Ralph Nader. In his 1965 book “Unsafe at Any Speed,” Nader had dedicated an entire chapter to the rear-engine car.

On July 23, 1982, Vic Morrow and two child actors are killed in an accident involving a helicopter during fi lming on the California set of “Twilight Zone: The Movie.” Special-effects explosions caused the pilot of the low-fl ying craft to lose control and crash into the three victims.

NOW HERE'S A TIP→ When baking, you can slow the rising time of dough by placing it in a cool place to rise. You can even let it rise in the refrigerator! Basically, it’s done rising when it’s doubled in size, so use that as your guide.

→ Place individual fabric softener sheets into sneakers to keep them fresh between wearings. You can use this for other shoes, too. Just be aware that the softener sheet should stay inside the shoe; it could discolor certain fabrics on the outside.

→ “I have long hair and it always jams up the shower drain. I tried one of those hair catcher things, but the drain doesn’t recess enough. What I did was to cut a piece of stiff screen to fi t the drain hole, and

I secured it with a hair pin that dangles down. It catches everything. Nothing slips under it, and I can clean it off easily.” -- I.R. in Massachusetts→ When baking savory bread, try substituting vegetable broth for the water in your recipe. It adds a deeper element of fl avor to the bread. Just try to use low-sodium broth, so you don’t add too much salt to your bread.

→ “If you have a little one who is afraid of the bedroom because of “monsters,” try getting your hands on some “Monster Away Spray.” I used a can of air freshener that I decorated with paper to make a new label. It fooled the kids and eased their fears quickly.” -- W.L. in Arkansas

→ Glassware will sparkle if you add a capful of bleach to the rinse water when hand-washing dishes.

→ “Berries are in season, and I use berry baskets for lots of little storage needs. My favorite one is to hold my sponges

at the sink area. A basket will keep small brushes corralled as well.” -- I.R. in Florida

→ “We had an impromptu princess/magical fairy tea party at our house

yesterday, and we came up with the best on-the-spot magic wands. We cut big stars out of paperboard (like a cereal box) and decorated them with stickers, construction paper and glitter, then we threaded them on long kebab sticks. I snipped the pointy

end and covered it with colorful tape. Presto, party wand!” -- E.D. in Maine

→ To keep salt from coming out of a saltshaker too quickly, add some plain uncooked white rice to the shaker. The large grains will block some of the holes, causing less salt to come out with each shake. The rice also will absorb moisture and keep the salt from clumping.

→ “At my child’s day care, there is a ‘Where’s Mommy and Daddy?’ board. Parents bring in a picture of themselves at their job, and the children can see the picture and know that it shows what Mommy or Daddy is doing while the child is playing.” -- S.E. in Missouri

SQUASH THAT THOUGHT! (continued)

• All squash types — and there are many — are members of the Cucurbitaceae or the gourd family. There are two subdivisions of the genus Cucurbita, to which squash belong: tender-skinned summer squash and hard-skinned winter squash. Pumpkins, from the tiniest to giants, belong to the winter squash family. • Most North Americans have grown up with summer squash, including zucchini and yellow squash, and eaten it raw, sautéed, stir-fried, grilled or breaded and fried. These tender, easy-to-grow vegetables are staples in most home gardens. • While summer squash have been favorites for years with gardeners, winter squash have suffered a popularity slump in the past several decades. Winter squash was very important to early settlers and on the American frontier. It has an excellent “keeping” quality and was a staple for root cellars. Winter squash would be harvested in late summer and fall and kept for months, allowing families to eat vitamin-rich vegetables during the cold winter months. • Today, with more emphasis on sustainability, winter squash are becoming very popular again. With more interest in purchasing local produce, farmers’

markets and home gardens are helping to reignite the appeal of eating vitamin-rich winter squash. Beta-carotene with its antioxidant and a n t i - i n f l a m m a t o r y properties, vitamin C, potassium, dietary fi ber, B vitamins and omega-3 fatty acids all come with the addition of squash to our diets.• So think squash are only available in yellow, green and orange? Think again! Visit local markets and fairs in the summer; you are sure to see some strange looking squash that are not only oddly shaped but also oddly colored.• Squash come in tan, orange, blue, green, even pink. They can be striped or solid colors and smooth or dimpled. • Summer squash are fragile, bruise easily and don’t keep very long. They are at their peak from July until September. Winter squash ripen with hard shells; some so hard that an ax or cleaver is required to get to the edible insides. They are at their prime from September until February.• Australian blue pumpkins and squash are rarely seen in North America but are the “norm” for the vegetable family “Down Under.” These “Blue Belt” plants are natives of Uruguay and Argentina and are also grown in South Africa. • Blue Hubbards and blue bananas as well as Queensland blue

and other pumpkins are enjoyed in Australia. A couple of popular treats for Aussies are Queensland blue scones at teatime and the rather odd “Grabben Gullen Pie.” The pie is made by hollowing out a pumpkin, fi lling it with possum joints and baking it in a bed of hot coals. Doesn’t that sound appetizing?! • The tasty blue banana squash and the pink banana squash originated in Peru. Popular on the North American West Coast, these specialty products are starting to get more recognition, and their seeds are being requested by gardeners. While they are usually 5 to 6 pounds (2-3 kg), jumbo pink banana squash can grow to be a monstrous 130 pounds (59 kg)!• Squash that are common in North America are yellow crookneck, yellow straightneck, Patty pan and zucchini as well as hard squash like acorn, butternut, buttercup, Hubbard, delicious and banana. • Spaghetti squash is a more unusual variety. Cooked spaghetti squash forms strands that pull apart and resemble pasta. This squash is delicious when covered with your favorite sauce or simply with butter and salt. Kids really think it is cool to pull the “spaghetti” strands from the squash! • Did you know that you can eat the fl owers of some squash? Try zucchini fl owers stuffed

with ground meat and braised — yummy and different. The seeds, tender shoots and even leaves can be eaten on many types of squash. • Many people make harvest centerpieces and front porch and door decorations from squash in the fall. Some of the interesting varieties to include in these are carnival, fairytale and turban squash. • Carnival squash are a type of acorn squash with interesting colorations: cream colored with orange spots, pale green with dark green spots and even vertical stripes. • The fairytale squash is, as you may guess, shaped like Cinderella’s pumpkin coach. • Turban squash looks like a turban (or hat) on top. As an interesting replacement for an ordinary bowl, the top can be removed and soup served from inside this squash. • While this Tidbits addresses some interesting members of the squash family, much more information is available to squash growers and eaters. An excellent book for “cucurbitaceans” (defi ned by the book author as “a person who regards pumpkins or squash with deep, often rapturous love”) is “The Compleat Squash” by Amy Goldman. It’s an interesting read for gardeners and those who love to cook and eat squash!
