Before the Treaty of Paris was signed between the British and the Americans in 1783, Benjamin Franklin negotiated border terms with British diplomats who wanted to draw a line west from Montreal along the 45th parallel, straight to the Mississippi River—approximately where the Twin Cities are located today. Franklin drove a hard bargain and after much conict a boundary was nally adopted which named the Pigeon River as the Canada/ United States boundary west from Lake Superior, and drew the remainder of the northern boundary line where it is today. It wasn’t until nearly twenty-ve years after the Revolution that the American government turned its attention to this vast country beyond the Eastern Seaboard cities. President Thomas Jefferson’s interest was piqued by Napoleon, who in 1803 sold what was left of his North America empire to the United States for about $15 million—The Louisiana Purchase played out at roughly three cents an acre. To nd out more about this vast area, Jefferson sent the Lewis and Clark expedition west toward the Pacic in 1804. The following year Lieutenant Zebulon Pike was commanded to explore the upper Mississippi to nd its source. When Pike left St. Louis, Missouri, in 1805, another one of his missions was to win the condence of the Indian tribes who lived along the Mississippi River Valley, and eventually win some of their lands to establish American military posts. In a 70-foot keelboat with an entourage of one sergeant, two corporals, and seventeen privates, Pike reached the mouth of the Minnesota River in about four weeks at what is now called Pike’s Island. Pike and his men built a camp and raised the American ag. The next day a group of Sioux came over to nd out who and what they were doing. An able talker, Pike established correlations with them, and a formal council was held at which Pike asked the Sioux to make peace with their Chippewa enemies, and sell the United States two (carefully chosen) pieces of land for military forts; one at the mouth of the St. Croix River and the other at the mouth of the Minnesota. The price he negotiated with the Indians came to 1.28 cents per acre. ............................................... They called him the Prairie Chicken because he had a shock of ery red hair that swept back from his forehead like a crest. His name was Josiah Snelling, and in 1820 he was sent by the U.S. Army to the Minnesota wilderness to build the fort that would bear his name. Colonel Snelling had a temper that matched the color of his hair, but under his leadership in the 1820s, Fort Snelling—the northernmost military post in the United States—became a vanguard of Western settlement. Built high on the bluffs above the conuence of the Minnesota and Mississippi rivers, the fort looked down on a valley where two major cities would be built before the end of the century. Logs for his fort were cut along the Rum River and rafted down to a saw mill built at the Falls of St. Anthony. Limestone for the outer walls was quarried nearby. In the clearings near the fort, soldiers grew wheat, oats, corn, and garden vegetables, including 4,500 bushels of potatoes in 1824. Inside the fort Snelling and his wife Abigail promoted cultural events, but outside; Indian leaders, Indian agents, and fur traders had to pick their way through two centuries of hostilities between the Chippewa and the Sioux tribes, trying to maintain a semblance of peace.

“We Make Sewing Fun!”

Re-furbished Sewing Machines many to choose from

Following our instinct is a pretty basic skill that most people use without even thinking about it. We make decisions all day every day using our instinct. There are many different names to describe instinct. Some people say they are following their gut. Often I hear people say it just didn’t “feel” right. We all know what it’s like to instantly know that a decision is correct. In the paranormal world we say that you’re communicating with your guides. Those spiritual beings whose job it is to help us along in life. When I have big decisions to make in my life I go into meditation and communicate with my guides about the correct course of action to take. If I have to make a quick decision, I rely on my gut instinct. The old saying, “Just sleep on it” has to do with communicating with your guides. When you’re sleeping your guides are able to communicate with you directly. How many times have you had something on your mind when you went to bed and in the morning you knew the answer to it. We often marvel at how simple the answer is in the morning and wonder why we couldn’t fi gure it out the night before. Our guides provided us with the perfect answer and

because we were sleeping, we were able to hear them. Sometimes I will be driving and get the feeling that I should take a different route. It’s not always the shortest or fastest way to get there, but the feeling will be strong. I’ve learned to listen to that feeling and take the other route. It’s possible that I was avoiding a traffi c issue, but also just as possible that I was supposed to experience something. Perhaps meet someone new or fi nd a new shop or restaurant. By following your instincts you make life easier on yourself and on your guides. If we take the wrong path they have to work harder to get us back on track. If you would like to learn more about these things, I’d love to do a reading on you or have you join one of my classes on psychic development.

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 May 19, 1836, during a raid, Comanche, Kiowa and Caddo Indians in Texas kidnap 9-year-old Cynthia Ann Parker and kill her family. Adopted into the Comanche tribe, she lived a happy life, marrying a warrior and having three children, until Texas Rangers recaptured her in 1860. They forced her to return to live again among Anglo-Americans after killing her husband.

● On May 16, 1849, the New York City Board of Health fi nally is able to establish a hospital to deal with a cholera epidemic that, before it ends, kills more than 5,000 people. The disease spread when boat passengers escaped from a mandatory quarantine.

● On May 18, 1861, an obscure California newspaper relates how fi rst lady Mary Todd Lincoln took it upon herself to appoint Mr. W.S. Wood as

superintendent of Public Buildings. The article suggested that Mrs. Lincoln had been smitten with Mr. Wood’s handsome features, luxuriant whiskers and graceful carriage.

● On May 20, 1873, Levi Strauss secures the necessary patents for canvas pants with copper rivets to reinforce the stress points. Unable to sell a large supply of canvas in the California mining camps, Strauss had hit on the idea of using the durable material to make work pants for miners.

● On May 17, 1943, the crew of the Memphis Belle, one of a group of American bombers based in Britain, becomes the fi rst B-17 crew to complete 25 missions over Europe. A fi ctional fi lm about the B-17, called “Memphis Belle,” was released in 1990.

● On May 21, 1955, unknown singer Chuck Berry paid his fi rst visit to a recording studio and cut “Maybellene.” The song became a No. 1 R&B hit and a No. 5 pop hit. It helped that DJ Alan Freed played the record for two hours straight during his WINS radio show.

● On May 22, 1969, legendary actor Paul Newman makes his onscreen racing debut in the action-drama fi lm “Winning.” Newman played Frank Capua, a struggling race car driver who must turn around his fortunes by winning the biggest race of them all -- the Indianapolis 500.

● On May 23, 1701, at London’s Execution Dock, British privateer William Kidd, popularly known as Captain Kidd, is hanged for fi ve charges of piracy and one charge of murdering a crewman. A colorful Kidd legend included reports of lost buried treasure that fortune seekers have pursued for centuries.

● On May 24, 1883, after 14 years and 27 deaths while being constructed, the Brooklyn Bridge in New York is opened, the largest suspension bridge ever built to that date.

● On May 26, 1927, the fi nal and 15 millionth Model T Ford rolls out of the factory, on the offi cial last day of production. Introduced in October 1908, the Model T -- also known as the “Tin Lizzie” -- got about 13 to 21 miles per

gallon of gasoline and could travel up to 45 mph.● On May 29, 1953, Edmund Hillary of New Zealand and Tenzing Norgay, a Sherpa of Nepal, become the fi rst explorers to reach the summit of Mount Everest, the highest point on earth. At 29,035 feet above sea level, the low-oxygen summit of Everest reaches two-thirds of the way through the air of earth’s atmosphere -- at about the cruising altitude of jet airliners.

● On May 25, 1977, George Lucas’ blockbuster movie “Star Wars” opens in American theaters. With its groundbreaking special effects, “Star Wars” was soon a bona-fi de pop culture phenomenon, spawning fi ve more feature fi lms, fi ve TV series and an entire industry’s worth of comic books, toys and video games.

● On May 28, 1983, Irene Cara’s song “Flashdance (What a Feeling)”, from the “Flashdance” movie soundtrack, goes to the top of the U.S. pop charts. The song helped propel the relatively low-budget fi lm to the No. 3 spot on the total box-offi ce revenue list for the year.

Wilma Rudolph was born on June 23, 1940, in Clarksville, Tennessee, and weighed only 4.5 pounds (2 kg). She was unhealthy from the start of life. But as the seventeenth of 20 children, she had a large family around to encourage her growth and success. • As a tiny baby, Rudolph overcame scarlet fever and pneumonia when many died of the diseases. When she was four she contracted polio, the dreaded crippling disease that devastated so many lives at the time. It left her with a crippled leg, and doctors said she would never walk.• Tiny Rudolph had parents who would not give up on her. They had also been told that they could not raise a big family on the small income of a railroad porter and a maid, yet they were doing it. • Rudolph’s mother drove her daughter to a hospital in Nashville for tests. The doctors said that with years of daily massages her leg “might” be saved. The “might” was all her mother needed to hear. The family massaged her leg daily, and weekly trips were made to Nashville for other treatments. • Rudolph was almost walking by the time she was six. By eight, she was fi tted with a leg brace and then a special high-topped shoe. At this time she was fi nally able to start school. • Rudolph’s older brothers played basketball with a peach basket mounted on a pole in their yard, and she loved to join them. She was very determined and would play for hours. One day when her mom came home from work, she noticed her daughter playing without her special shoe. She was playing barefoot. She never wore the special shoe again and

was walking normally like everyone else. • Rudolph played basketball in high school and set a Burt High School scoring record of 803 points in 25 games. Coach Ed Temple of Tennessee State University saw her play basketball but was more impressed by her speed than her scoring ability. He recruited her to join his summer “track camp.” • The camp was the start of a fantastic track career for Rudolph. She worked hard and qualifi ed for the 1956 Olympics in Melbourne, Australia, during her senior year in high school. She was part of the 400-meter relay team that won a bronze medal. This was after only one year of training.• Rudolph ran track at Tennessee State and studied for a teaching degree. She also set her sights on the 1960 Olympics in Rome, Italy. She was a standout at those games. With her long legs, the crowd lovingly nicknamed her the “black gazelle” and “Chattanooga Choo-Choo.” • The little girl who was not expected to walk, and didn’t walk until she was eight years old, thrilled the crowds when she won three gold medals. She won the individual 100- and 200-meter races and was on the 400-meter women’s relay team that won. Rudolph became the fi rst woman in history to win three gold medals in track and fi eld at an Olympics. • She went on to be a wife and mom to four children and a teacher of great infl uence to her students. She was inducted into the Black Athletes Hall of Fame in 1973 and the National Track and Field Hall of Fame in 1974. An NBC movie was made about her based on her autobiography, “Wilma.”• An Olympic teammate, Bill Mulliken, said of Rudolph, “She was beautiful, she was nice, and she was the best.” The remarkable lady died in Nashville in 1994 at age 54.

● “Fill a quart-size zip-lock bag with water and double-bag it, making sure there is no air in the bag. Place it inside the toilet tank, on the opposite side from the pump. Secure it there, if you can. This will displace some of the water when you fl ush, and you will use less water as a consequence.” -- E.S. in Florida

● If you have a stained porcelain sink, try using it to soak your stained garments. The presoak can do double duty on the stained sink and washables alike.

● To make your own breadcrumbs without a chopper or blender, place dry bread pieces in a plastic bag. Use a rolling pin to “roll” them into crumbs.

● Save water in the shower by using your kitchen timer, set for no more than

5 minutes. If you can fi nd a digital one, you will know better how much time you have left. After a little while, you almost don’t need the timer.

● “If you seal your jelly jars with wax, here’s a good tip: Place a small piece of string into the wax before it hardens. Then, you’ll be able to pull on the string to remove the wax when you’re ready to enjoy your homemade goodies!” -- U.L. in Maine

● Laundry stain removers can be good to remove stains from concrete drives. For instance, my relatives’ car was leaking, and I was able to get the stains from my pavers

by using a spray-and-wash stain remover I borrowed from the laundry room. It worked very well. -- S.E. in Arkansas

● “My dogs stay outside most of the day now, while the weather is so nice.

We bring them indoors when it gets too hot, but for a treat, we will freeze a plastic cup of ice and then chuck the “ice block” on the porch. They lick at it and play with it. It’s like a little doggie

water park when they are done.” -- M.E. in Ohio

● Finding a summer camp for your kids can be a chore. Check with your child’s school and school friends for

recommendations. Also, see if your city’s recreation department is holding any camps. Some county extension offi ces (agriculture department) offer camps. Many of these are reasonably priced. Don’t delay.

● “Keep fast-food coupons in your car’s glove compartment. They will be there if you need to drive through, and will be handy for picking up dinner on the way home. If you need them at home, chances are your car is there anyway!” -- F.D. in Alabama

TOYS (continued)• “What walks down stairs, alone or in pairs,

and makes a slinkity sound? A spring, a spring, a marvelous thing, everyone knows it’s Slinky. It’s Slinky; it’s Slinky. For fun it’s a wonderful toy. It’s Slinky; it’s Slinky. It’s fun for a girl and a boy.” This catchy advertising jingle helped sell a quite simple toy that was created in 1943 by naval engineer Richard James. He was working with tension springs, and when one of the springs fell to the ground and “walked” end over end along the fl oor, an idea for a toy was born. After borrowing $500, James and his wife Betty started the James Spring & Wire Company. He designed a machine that he made himself to manufacture Slinkys. They began producing and selling the coiled wire as a toy in 1945. Each one is made of 80 feet of wire, and to date, over a quarter billion Slinkys have been sold worldwide.

• In 1916, Frank Lloyd Wright and his son John Lloyd Wright supervised constriction of the Imperial Palace Hotel in Tokyo. The hotel was assembled with an inner frame of wood to withstand earthquakes. John was inspired by this method of building, and it gave him the idea to create a line of sturdy, interlocking toy building logs sold as Lincoln Logs.

• 1940, during World War II, rubber in the United States was scarce and the shortage began to hamper war production efforts, especially for truck tires and boots. American industry was called upon by the government to develop a synthetic rubber compound. James Wright, an engineer working for General Electric, experimented with combining boric acid and silicone oil in a test tube. The compound “polymerized,” resulting in a bizarre substance with unusual properties. It bounced, stretched and could be broken in pieces, yet it had no practical use.

• In 1949, the mixture eventually made its way to a toy-shop owner who put some of the “Nutty Putty,” (as she called it) in her holiday toy catalog. It out-sold everything but Crayola® crayons. The name was later changed to Silly Putty, and it is now sold by Binney & Smith, the makers of Crayola. More than 4,500 tons of Silly Putty, enough to fi ll the Goodyear blimp, have been made since 1950.

• Back in the 1870s, a baker named William Frisbie of Bridgeport, Connecticut, had a clever marketing idea. He put the family name in relief on the bottom of the reusable tin pans his

company’s homemade pies were sold in. The idea was that every time the pan was used, the person baking would see the name Frisbie. Mr. Frisbie’s pies were sold throughout Connecticut. It was at Yale University sometime in the 1940s where students used the pie tins to play catch, whizzing them through the air.

• A decade later in California, a fl ying-saucer enthusiast named Walter Morrison designed a saucer-like disk as a toy for throwing. It was produced by a company named Wham-O. While on a promotional tour of college campuses, the president of Wham-O encountered the pie-plate-tossing craze at Yale. And so the fl ying saucer from California was renamed after the pie plate from Connecticut. The spelling was changed from Frisbie to Frisbee to avoid any legal problems.

• What we know today as the Yo-Yo is possibly the second oldest toy in the world after dolls. Ancient Greek yo-yos made of terra cotta are displayed in museums and pictured on the walls of Egyptian temples. The yo-yo is known to have been popular with Napoleon and the Duke of Wellington. In the 1920s, a Philippine immigrant named Pedro Flores came to Santa Monica and worked as a bellhop. He had grown up carving and playing with wooden yo-yos, which was a traditional pastime in the Philippines. On his coffee breaks, Flores always drew a crowd playing games with his yo-yo. He became the fi rst person to mass-produce the toy and is responsible for the name Yo-Yo, which means “come-come” in Philippine. An entrepreneur named Donald Duncan saw the Flores toy, liked it, bought the rights from Flores in 1929, and then trademarked the name Yo-Yo. Duncan changed the string from a tied knot to the looped slip-string, which allows the user to do advanced tricks.

• In 1767 London, an engraver and mapmaker named John Spilsbury created the fi rst jigsaw puzzle as an aid in teaching students geography. He glued a map of England and Wales on a sheet of hardwood and cut around the borders of the countries using a fi ne-bladed saw. The jigsaw puzzle was born. The idea caught on, and people began making puzzles out of pictures as a form of entertainment. These early jigsaw puzzles did not interlock; that wasn’t possible until the invention of power tools more than a century later. In 1880, Milton Bradley made the fi rst jigsaw puzzle for children called “The Smashed Up Locomotive.”

In Rememberance Continued From Inner Front Page

A few years after its founding the fort saluted the fi rst steamboat to reach the area. It was only a matter of time before settlers, household goods, and investment dollars, as well as mail and news, would fl ow north, offering protection, and human companionship for settlers who had fallen on hard times.

You may go to Fort Snelling National Cemetery this Memorial day to pay your respects to deceased relatives and friends. When you do, take the time to visit some of the older gravesites of the founders and early military settlers. Pay them your respects as well. Visit the website below or just scan the QR code with your camera to reach the national gravesite locator.Happy Memorial Day and Best Wishes for a Soothing Summer.
