By the early 1870’s the landscape of Minnesota was dotted with new centers of settlement, linked together by the telegraph and more than 800 miles of railroad track. Clustered around the confl uence of the Minnesota and Mississippi rivers, the cities of St. Paul, St. Anthony and Minneapolis prospered as logs rolled through the rapids, grain fi lled local storage elevators and tourists seeking a healthful climate paraded along the boardwalks. Lumbering, fl our milling and transportation powered Minnesota’s growth, bringing dollars from the rest of the country with every blast of a steamboat or locomotive whistle. When St. Anthony and Minneapolis became one city, the area was known as a center for railroads, manufacturing, milling and fi nance. As the head of navigation on the Mississippi River and the jumping-off place for many new arrivals, St. Paul was a transportation hub as well as a center for the banking, insurance and printing industries. Above the Falls of St. Anthony, Minneapolis cradled the lumber that roared down river from the north. An animal feed industry grew fat with the grain that arrived daily on the trains that were reaching farther north and west. Bakeries thrived. From surrounding farms, produce and dairy products arrived regularly in villages such as Crookston, St. Cloud, Winona and Albert Lea. In Duluth, businessmen looked eastward and speculated that grain could be brought by train to the inland port, then shipped through the lakes and down the St. Lawrence River. In fact, Duluth’s potential as a great shipping center was so well known that by the 1880’s the city was becoming a port known throughout the world.

JAMES J. HILL...

earned the nickname “Empire Builder’ by constructing a network of railroads that linked St. Paul with Canada and Duluth with the Pacifi c. His business succeeded because he matched a keen head for juggling materials and men with his own persistent hard work.

■ On June 8, 632, in Saudi Arabia, Muhammad, founder of Islam, dies in the arms of Aishah, his third wife. In 610, in a cave north of Mecca,

Muhammad had a vision in which he heard God command him to become the Arab prophet of the “true religion.” He began having religious revelations, which he collected as the Qur’an.

■ On June 5, 1933, the United States goes off the gold standard, a monetary system in which currency is backed by gold. The Great Depression of the 1930s had frightened the public into hoarding gold. Roosevelt ordered all gold coins and gold certifi cates in denominations of more than $100 turned in for other money.

■ On June 6, 1981, more than 500 passengers are killed when their train plunges into the Baghmati River in

India. The rail accident was caused by an engineer who braked too hard to keep from hitting a cow that was crossing the tracks over a bridge. Seven cars derailed into the river.

■ On June 10, 1979, actor Paul Newman roars into second place in the 47th 24 Hours of Le Mans, the famous sports-car endurance race held annually in Le Mans, France. In 1969, Newman starred as a race-car driver in the movie “Winning,” performing many of the high-speed scenes himself without a stunt double.

■ On June 15, 1877, Henry Ossian Flipper, born a slave in Thomasville, Ga., in 1856, becomes the fi rst black cadet to graduate from the United States Military Academy at West Point, N.Y. Flipper was never spoken to by a white cadet during his four years at West Point.

■ On June 16, 1884, the fi rst roller coaster in America

opens at Coney Island, in Brooklyn, N.Y. Known as a switchback railway, it traveled approximately 6 mph and cost a nickel to ride.

■ On June 14, 1951, the U.S. Census Bureau dedicates UNIVAC, the world’s fi rst commercially produced electronic digital computer. UNIVAC, which stood for Universal Automatic Computer, used thousands of vacuum tubes for computation and was the forerunner of today’s digital computer.

■ On June 13, 1966, the Supreme Court hands down its decision in Miranda v. Arizona, establishing the principle that all criminal suspects must be advised of their rights before interrogation. The roots of the Miranda decision go back to 1963 when Ernesto Miranda confessed to a crime and later recanted, unaware that he didn’t have to say anything at all.

• The footage that Richards took was used in a nature documentary called “Cold.” The fi lm chronicles their journey, the fi rst successful attempt to

climb the Pakistani peak during winter by anyone. The fi lm played at a number of fi lm festivals in 2011 and is being distributed by Forge Motion Pictures.• Many runners have attempted to beat the time record for completing the entire Appalachian Trail. Observers were surprised to discover that the record had been broken by a female, Pharr Davis.• Davis bested a record held by men for more than 40 years. Davis isn’t, by her own description, even a runner. She has always trained as a long-distance hiker, and her training to beat the record was the same.• Davis completed the trail’s 2,181 miles more than 26 hours faster than the former record holder. The popular assumption before her attempt was that only a faster runner could beat the record, but Davis bucked the conventional wisdom. She began each day before 5 a.m., hiking for 16 hours a day and sleeping directly on the trail.• Davis was accompanied by her husband, Ben, who served as her support crew. She reached the trail’s southern end in Springer Mountain, Georgia, a little over 46 days after she began.• “We were exploring what people thought was possible, for what was possible on the Appalachian Trail, and what was possible for a woman and a hiker,” Davis told National Geographic magazine afterward. “Records are made to be broken…The method and the approach are what matters more at the end of the day.”• Nick Waggoner was an unknown fi lm graduate from Colorado College when he began fi lming “Solitaire,” a documentary about his grueling ski odyssey through South America.• Waggoner fi lmed over the course of two years with his three co-producers. The four men explored in far-fl ung locations such as the jungles along the Amazon River, the Cordillera Blanca, the Altiplano and windy Patagonia.• Waggoner fi lmed on foot, on skis, on boats, on horseback and even while soaring through the sky on a paraglider. He faced tough weather conditions throughout without any of the comforts of normal travel. He and his group lived out of tents in driving rain and snow, occasionally for weeks at a time.• The motley crew often hiked thousands of miles in darkness before dawn to capture sunrise in these unspoiled vistas. They scaled broken glaciers in search of breathtaking vistas and climbed mountains in excess of 17,000 feet.• When Waggoner arrived in South America to start production on the fi lm, he was greeted with terrible news. His close friend and intended star of the documentary, extreme skier Arne Backstrom, had fallen and died while attempting to scale the 18,897-foot Nevado Pisco.• “Solitaire” is Waggoner’s third project with his company, Sweetgrass Productions. He recently spent a season in Hokkaido, Japan, fi lming another upcoming nature documentary. His acclaimed work in just three years has already won him awards, most recently at the International Freeski Film Festival in Montreal, Canada.

• For Willie and Damian Benegas, seeking adventure is a family affair. This past year the two brothers collected samples of the highest living plant life on Earth. Samples were gathered from the fl anks of Mt. Everest, over 22,000 feet in the air. • Willie and Damian delivered the collected vegetation to the U.S. Geological Survey, as well as to researchers at Montana State University. These samples will be used to help scientists investigate how climate change might affect our food production in the future. The brothers also brought back samples of rock near the summit of Everest for microbial study. It is hoped that these samples may provide insight into the effects of high levels of UV radiation on life at the microscopic level. • 65-year-old writer and Arctic explorer John Turk joined 26-year-old pro kayaker Erik Boomer in a 1,485-mile circumnavigation of Ellesmear Island in Canada. This was the last great adventure for Turk, but it was only one of many in a lifetime dedicated to rugged outdoor exploration.• Prior to his fi nal trip with Boomer, Turk had completed a number of memorable climbs and has completed fi ve separate Siberian expeditions in an effort to study Shamanic culture. • The trip required the two sportsmen to drag their kayaks across 800 miles of fl at ice. Each kayak was over 13 feet long and weighed over 200 pounds. They began the trip in May, when ice had yet to melt completely, but were able to fi nd pockets of open water after the spring thaw.• Of the many dangers Turk and Boomer faced, the most terrifying were frequent interactions with polar bears. They saw 11 on one day alone, nine of which were aggressive.

▲ If you’re planning food platters for your

barbecue, consider making several smaller platters instead of one large dish. The large ones are harder to store when you prep beforehand, but a better reason is that the items will not go stale/too warm/too cold quite as fast, and it’s easy to switch out plates throughout the party.

▲ Here’s a wonderful tip from Fibrenew, a leather, vinyl and plastics refurbishing specialist, on what to do if you get ink on your leather car seats: “DON’T use dish soap or hair spray to remove the marks. The degreasing agents in dish soap can permanently de-gloss and damage the top coating on the leather surface. Hair spray, another commonly recommended remedy, has alcohol in it and will ruin the surface coating on your leather.” Use a special leather-cleaning kit instead,

or contact a local professional to fi x it for you.

Kitchen Tip BitsRice: Does your rice dry out when you reheat it? Next time, add 2 tablespoons of liquid for each cup of cooked rice. Cover and heat for a few minutes on the stove or in the oven. In the microwave, cook on high about 1 minute per cup. Fluff it with a fork and enjoy! Perk up white rice by adding chicken broth with a pinch of crumbled dried thyme, marjoram, rosemary, or basil in the cooking water.

Measuring Corn Syrup, Molasses, and Honey: Dip measuring cup or spoon either in hot water or brush

with oil before pouring in the syrup. This way, you get all that’s in the cup to come out.

Milk: Rinse the pan with cold water before scalding milk to prevent sticking.

Fresh coffee beans: can absorb nasty odors from your hands.

Citrus fruits or tomatoes: Never put in the fridge. The low temperatures degrade the aroma and fl avor of these persnickety fruits.

Empty airtight containers: When storing, throw in a pinch of salt to keep them from getting stinky.

Ants: To banish them from the kitchen, fi nd out where they are coming in and cover the hole with petroleum jelly. Ants won’t trek through the jelly. If they are coming under a door, draw a line on the fl oor with chalk. The little bugs also won’t cross a line of chalk.

Dear Mr. Know-It-All:

While I was staring at the last dollar bill I own, I was wondering if I would ever see another, and also wondering where the $ sign came from. -Broke in Baker

Dear Broke:

Given the way you spend your time, it might very well be the last dollar you ever see. I will answer your question so you can get on to more productive activities.

There appears to be some dispute over the origins of the dollar sign. One theory is attributed to our close relationship in the early days of our nation with the Spanishempire. In the eighteenth and much of the nineteenth century, Spanish and Mexican coins were accepted as common currency in the new worlds. The abbreviation for “pesos” was “ps”. As a result of man’s tendency to abbreviate things, the S was placed over the P in the abbreviation. This eventually evolved into the current mark when the P was converted to a hash.

The more patriotic version holds that our founding fathers had a desire to create a currency unique only to the new nation. The American dollar currency was originally denoted as US, the abbreviation for United States. In an effort to make it easier to write, the letter “U” was elongated and overlapped the S. Over time the bottom of the U was chopped leaving two hash marks. This later evolved to one hash mark and thus our current $ symbol. The original “U” over “S” can still be seen on the older metal tops of U.S. Tobacco chewing tobacco products if you can fi nd one. The metal tops have evolved to plastic tops and no longer carry the symbol.

Mr. Know-It-All Knows This About Dollars…$ The average life of a dollar bill is just 18 months

$ Almost half, 48 percent, of the notes printed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing are $1 notes

$ The number 13 (corresponding to the 13 colonies) fi gures prominently on the $1 bill. The number of letters/digits in 1776 (4) and its Roman Numeral equivalent MDCCLXXVI (9) adds up to 13

$ The dollar has 13 stars above the eagle

$ There are 13 steps on the Pyramid

$ There are 13 letters in ANNUIT COEPTIS

$ E PLURIBUS UNUM contains 13 letters

$ There are 13 vertical bars on the shield

$ The top of the shield has 13 horizontal stripes

$ You can count 13 leaves on the olive branch

$ There are 13 berries on the olive branch

$ The dollar bill also features 13 arrows and 13 hats


Home of the Chicago Cubs, Wrigley Field is located in the heart of downtown Chicago and is one of baseball’s most old-fashioned and famous ballparks.• Built in 1914, Wrigley Field will be going on its 99th season in 2012 and its 97th year with the Cubs.• Wrigley Field is the second oldest major league ballpark in the United States, following behind Boston’s Fenway Park built in 1912.• Wrigley Field seats 41,160 people.• Originally named Weeghman Park in honor of the original owner Charlie Weeghman, it was designed by architect Zachary Taylor Davis and cost $250,000 to construct. It originally sat 14,000.• On April 23, 1914, the fi rst

major league game took place at the ballpark, where the Federals defeated Kansas City 9-1.• In 1915, the Federal League folded for fi nancial

reasons, making way for the Cubs to leave Cincinnati for Chicago.• In 1920, the Wrigley family, owners of Wrigley chewing gum, purchased the ballpark from Weeghman and changed the name to Cubs Park. In 1926, the name was fi nally changed to Wrigley Field. • The bleachers and scoreboard were implemented in 1937; the original scoreboard remains intact today and is manually operating. It has never been struck with a batted ball.• A longtime tradition is the fl ying of a “W” or “L” fl ag atop the scoreboard at the conclusion of every game signifying either a win or loss.• Wrigley Field has seen many fi rsts: the fi rst permanent concession stand and the beginning of the traditions of allowing

fans to keep foul balls and throwing back home runs hit by the opposing team.• Wrigley Field has also seen many classic moments in baseball history, including the famous pitching duel in 1917 between Jim “Hippo” Vaughn and the Cincinnati Reds’ Fred Toney.• The most famous incident to take place at Wrigley Field is Babe Ruth’s alleged “call shot” in the 1932 World Series, where Ruth pointed toward the outfi eld just before nailing a home run into the bleachers.• Wrigley Field is more affected by harsh wind conditions than any other Major League ballpark because of nearby Lake Michigan.• The park’s nickname is the Friendly Confi nes, and it is the last standing Federal League ballpark. • The Cubs, often referred to as “The Lovable Losers,” are famous for never winning a World Series at Wrigley Field, yet they are still one of the

most successful franchises in baseball history. • The famous “Da Curse of the Bill Goat” dates back to 1945 at the fourth game of the World Series between the Cubs and the Detroit Tigers. William “Billy Goat” Sianis and his goat Murphy were removed from the game because of the goat’s odor, and an angered Sianis placed a curse on the Cubs that said they would never win a championship. The Cubs lost game four, the World Series and have not won a World Series since.

The Reluctant Psychic Deciding to have a reading done by a psychic/medium can be an exciting prospect. Perhaps you know someone who recently had a great reading and you want to experience that same excitement. You might be hoping to connect with a loved one who has passed on. Maybe you need guidance for your personal life or your work environment. All of these are great reasons to have a reading.

Once you’ve made your appointment it would help you to do a little homework. You can always go into your reading thinking that you will just wait and see what information comes through for you. That’s fi ne if you’re not looking for much or you don’t care how much money you spend. This approach relies on the psychic searching out the information you’re hoping to get. This searching can take a bit of time - and time is money.

If you come to your reading prepared with specifi c questions to ask, you will get quick, specifi c answers to those questions. You ask the question and your guide gives them the answer. It really is that easy.

I frequently do readings at private parties. They are fun and the readings are short. Typically only 15 minutes long. In this instance, it would really benefi t you to have your questions ready to go.

Something I would like to caution you about is getting your hopes up for a reading exactly like the one your friend had. Every reading is personal. Your friend might have had 5 relatives come through and been given the description of her future Prince Charming. You might in turn, be told how to handle that diffi cult co-worker. Your friends reading was exciting and by comparison yours may feel boring. What I’d like you to realize is, we are given the reading we need at that time. The one thing we don’t get to decide, is what information is going to come through for us.

Consider having a reading sometime. They are fun and informative. Thank you for your interest and attention. If you’d like to have a reading or take a class, please contact me. Till next time, stay in touch with yourself, your life, and with those loved ones who have moved on.
