Ok Minnesotans, you’ve been brave and strong while surviving the Spring from Hades, one of the longest winter weather patterns on record. What a great weekend! Most of the state has experienced the break (I said most, not all). But, the weather pattern has turned the corner, spring is almost half over and it’s time to think about going to the lake. Being in the state that holds most of the lakes, we thought you might want to brush up on your lake facts. First off, is ice off? We ain’t quite there yet.

• When race fans s h o w e d up for the

1895 event, they were met by a brand-new grandstand featuring the Twin Spires. A 24-year-old draftsman designed the Spires, which have become a familiar landmark to the Derby crowd. • At a party hosted by a socialite following the 1883 Derby, all the ladies were presented with roses. Track founder Meriwether Lewis Clark was in attendance and it’s believed he conceived the idea of declaring the rose the race’s offi cial fl ower from that experience. But it wasn’t until 1896 that a bouquet of pink and white roses was fi rst presented to the winner, and it was 1932 before the garland of roses we see today was introduced. The term “Run for the Roses” was coined by a sports columnist in 1925. The blanket of roses bestowed upon the owner of the winning horse is composed of more than 500 red roses sewn onto a green satin backing. In addition, the jockey receives 60 long-stemmed roses wrapped in 10 yards of ribbon. Owners frequently have the garland of roses freeze-dried to preserve it, and some even have a fl ower dipped in silver in commemoration of the win. • The two-minute mark has only been broken three times in Derby history, the fi rst time in 1973 by the famed Secretariat. Nicknamed “Big Red,” the chestnut fi nished the course in 1:59.40, a record that still holds today as the fastest time ever. The second horse to fi nish in under two minutes was just a length and a half behind Secretariat. Sham, who was Secretariat’s dark brown half-cousin, had hit his face on the starting gate and knocked out a tooth. Although he bled severely throughout the race, Sham came in about one-fi fth of a second behind the winner. The Derby was without an under-two-minute winner until 2001 when Monarchos fi nished in 1:59.97.

• During the early 1900’s, owners of Derby-winning horses began sending their thoroughbreds to Maryland’s Preakness Stakes and the Belmont Stakes in New York. Although it wasn’t offi cially called the “Triple Crown” until 1930, the fi rst winner of all three races was in 1919, a chestnut named Sir Barton. There have only been 11 Triple Crown winners, including Secretariat, who took the prize after a 25-year drought, setting records in all three races. There were back-to-back Triple Crown winners in 1977 (Seattle Slew) and Affi rmed in 1978. There hasn’t been one since. • On those occasions when two or more horses are in a dead heat and it’s impossible to see which crossed the line fi rst, a “photo fi nish” is needed to determine the winner. The fi rst time this was used at the Kentucky Derby was in 1947, when a photo at the fi nish line concluded that Jet Pilot was the winning horse. • For almost 100 years, the mint julep has been the traditional beverage of the Derby. Each year, 120,000 juleps are served on Derby Weekend at Churchill Downs, requiring more than 10,000 bottles of Early Times Kentucky Whiskey, 1,000 lbs. (454

kg) of fresh mint, and 60,000 lbs. (27,215 kg) of ice. Spectators can expect a price of $11 per glass. Along with the juleps, a thick stew called Burgoo is traditionally served, a concoction of a mixture of meats, including pork, beef, chicken, and mutton, along with vegetables and barbecue sauce. • In 1932, an 18-year-old jockey named Eugene James rode Burgoo King to victory at both the Derby and the Preakness. Sadly, just a year later, the young athlete drowned in Lake Michigan. • The 1944 Derby winner was named Pensive and the victor in 1949 was Ponder. What was unusual about these two steeds? Pensive was the sire of Ponder and both horses won the Derby with the exact same time, 2:04.20. Ponder went on to sire the 1956 Derby winner, Needles. • Until 2005, only the fi rst four fi nishers received a share of the Derby’s purse money. The rules were then changed to award a potion to the fi fth-place winner as well. • The Derby has had a number of notable fi rsts. It was broadcast live on the radio for the fi rst time in 1925, with the fi rst national television coverage occurring in 1952. The size of the purse topped the $100,000 mark for the fi rst time in 1954. (This year, the purse will be $2,180,000, with $1,240,000 of that amount awarded to the winner.) In 1968, Dancer’s Image became the fi rst winner to be disqualifi ed after traces of drugs were found in its system. The Derby’s fi rst woman jockey was Diane Crump who rode Phantom in 1970. Diane came in 15th out of

17. Jockeys were allowed to wear advertising logos on their silks for the fi rst time in 2004. • More than 165,000 people attended the 2012 Kentucky Derby, setting an attendance record. Tickets can be had for as little as $80 for general admission or as much as $5,000.

■ On May 1, 1926, Ford Motor Company becomes one of the fi rst companies in America to adopt a fi ve-day, 40-hour week. In early 1914,

Ford had announced it would pay workers a minimum wage of $5 per eight-hour day, upped from a previous rate of $2.34 for nine hours.

■ On April 30, 1939, the New York World’s Fair opens in New York City on a 1,200-acre site at Flushing Meadow Park in Queens. Among the new technology exhibited was FM radio, robotics, fl uorescent lighting and a crude fax machine.

■ On May 3, 1946, in Tokyo, the International Military Tribunals begins hearing the case against 28 Japanese military and government offi cials accused of committing war crimes during World War II. The trial ended with 25 of 28 Japanese defendants being found guilty. Of the three other defendants, two had died during the trial, and one was declared insane.

■ On May 4, 1970, at Kent State University in Ohio,

students protesting the Vietnam War torch the ROTC building on campus, and Ohio Gov. James Rhodes called in the National Guard to restore order. The Guardsmen fi red into the crowd, killing four and wounding 11. They were later brought to trial for the shootings, but found not guilty.

■ On May 8, 1884, Harry S Truman is born in Lamar, Mo. Upon President Franklin Roosevelt’s death in 1945, Truman became the 33rd president of the United States. After four months in offi ce, Truman authorized the dropping of two atomic bombs on Japan, believing it ultimately saved American and Japanese lives by forcing Japan to surrender.

■ On May 11, 1947, the B.F. Goodrich Company of Akron, Ohio, announces it has developed a tubeless tire. The disadvantage of the old inner tube design was that if the inner tube failed, the tire would blow out immediately, causing the driver to lose control of the vehicle.

■ On May 6, 1954, in Oxford, England, 25-year-old medical student Roger Bannister cracks the four-minute

mile. Bannister won the mile race with a time of 3 minutes and 59.4 seconds.

■ On May 7, 1960, Leonid Brezhnev, one of Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev’s most trusted proteges, is selected as Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet -- the Soviet equivalent to the presidency. Brezhnev took control of the USSR in 1964 when Khrushchev was removed from power.

■ On May 9, 1971, the last original episode of the sitcom “The Honeymooners,” starring Jackie Gleason, airs. Despite its brief life as a traditional sitcom, “The Honeymooners” remains one of the most memorable TV comedies of all time, rivaled only by “I Love Lucy.”

■ On May 10, 1994, in South Africa, Nelson Mandela is sworn in as the fi rst black president of South Africa. In his inaugural address, Mandela, who spent 27 years of his life as a political prisoner of the South African government, declared that “the time for the healing of the wounds has come.” (c) 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.

▲ To ripen a green tomato, wrap it in a sheet of newspaper or place it in a paper bag. It can then be left on the counter for several days to ripen.

▲ To keep ice crystals from forming on the top of your quart of ice cream, just cut a square of plastic wrap and push it down onto the surface of the ice

cream each time you scoop a bowlful out. It peels off easily when you’re ready for another helping, but there’s no ice! It works for me!” -- T.D. in Nebraska

▲ White vinegar will clean fruit or food-coloring stains from your hands -- and most other places, too!

▲ “If you add a teaspoon of sugar to your biscuit mix or to the dough for rolls, it will help them to brown well and they will come out of the oven with golden tops.” -- Jan R. of Michigan

▲ “I just fi nished packing up my house to move, and this little tip was a dandy: Use a toothpick to keep the open end of your tape from disappearing. When you cut the tape, slip a toothpick at the end that’s still on the roll. You will never have to go fi shing for it again.” -- L.K. in New Mexico

▲ “I’m spring cleaning. I like to touch up my baseboards, because I think it makes the rooms look fresher. I use a plastic dustpan as I go along. I press it up against the wall, and I can paint along without fear of getting paint on the wall above the baseboard. The rubber gasket along the bottom of the dustpan makes a great seal against the wall.” -- A Reader, via email

▲ Keep buttons secure by painting the threads with a dab of clear nail polish.

▲ If you still have a paper vacuum bag, tuck a fabric-softener sheet into it before you attach it to your cleaner. As the air fl ows through it, the smell of the fabric softener will freshen your home.

▲ If your water takes a minute to warm up, keep a pitcher by the sink. Let the water fl ow into the pitcher until it gets warm. Then, use that water (which otherwise would have been wasted) on your houseplants and in your garden.

Kentucky Derby week seems like the time to take a look at a few of the greatest jockeys of all time. Follow along and pick up a little knowledge about these legends.• Two jockeys share the record for the most Derby wins, Eddie Arcaro and Bill Hartack, each with fi ve. Arcaro was the fi rst to accomplish this feat, with his fi rst win in 1938 at age 22, followed by victories in 1941, 1945, 1948, and 1952. Arcaro is also the record-holder for the most American classic race wins, and the only rider to win the Triple Crown twice. He triumphed in 17 Triple Crown races, including the fi ve Derbys, and six each in the Preakness and Belmont Stakes. As a small youth, rejection for a spot on the baseball team pushed him to excel in a different area. He stood just 5’2” (1.6 m) when fully grown. At the 1959 Belmont Stakes, Eddie seemed destined for his 7th win, but his horse fell and Eddie was thrown into a large puddle of water and was narrowly saved from drowning. Riding helmets had very recently been introduced to the sport and Arcaro claimed his had saved his life. His lifetime record was 4,779 wins. • Bill Hartack won his fi rst Kentucky Derby in 1957 at age 24. He was favored to win the next year, but just two weeks before the Derby, he broke his leg and another jockey rode the horse Tim Tam, who won the race. Hartack was the nation’s leading jockey four different times, and was the fi rst to attain $3 million purse winnings in a year. • Standing just 4’11” (1.5m) tall and weight 96 lbs. (43.5 kg), Willie Shoemaker was just 17 when he rode a horse in a race for the fi rst time. Although he fi nished fi fth in that fi rst race, by his third race, he was in the winner’s circle. By week two, he had won seven races. He won his fi rst Kentucky Derby in 1955 at age 23, and his second four years later. It would be six years before his next Churchill Downs victory, but Willie wasn’t fi nished yet. Twenty-one years later in 1986, Shoemaker won his fourth and fi nal Derby at age 54, making him the oldest Derby winner in history. Although he had won 11 Triple Crown races over the course of four different decades – four Derbys, fi ve Belmont Stakes, and three Preakness Stakes – he never achieved the Crown itself. He set a world record with 8,833 winning races, and accomplished

the amazing feat of winning six races in one day, six different times in his career. Shoemaker retired in 1990 and tragedy struck just one year later when his vehicle plunged off a 50-foot embankment, leaving him paralyzed from the neck down. He still managed to succeed as a horse trainer until 1997. • Steve Cauthen is the last jockey to win the Triple Crown, a feat achieved in 1978 astride the horse Affi rmed. He was also the youngest jockey to take the title – Cauthen had been 18 less than a week when he won the Derby. At 19, he became the fi rst jockey to win $6 million in a single season. Yet he rode in the Kentucky Derby only once! Because he had trouble meeting U.S. weight requirements, he moved to England where weight restrictions were higher, and he went on to become the British Champion Jockey three times.

Susan B. Anthony was a woman ahead of her times in many ways. She held abolitionist views along with her Quaker family and was a part of the “feminist movement” many years before it became a large movement in the 1960s. • Born on February 15, 1820, Susan B. Anthony was the second of eight children born to Daniel and Lucy Anthony in Adams, Massachusetts. Her father owned the local cotton mill until the business failed in the late 1830s. He moved his family several times, ultimately establishing roots in Rochester, New York. • Her parents were actively involved in ending slavery and leading abolitionist were often guests in the Adams’ home. She heard the views of Frederick Douglass, Wendell Phillips and William Lloyd Garrison, active speakers against slavery, often when they visited.• Anthony attended a Quaker school in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and ultimately entered the teaching profession. She became the preceptress, or lady principal, at Canajoharie Academy, in Canajoharie, New York for two years in the late 1840s. At age 26, she earned $110 per year at the academy. • After Anthony left the academy, she went on to speak at teacher’s conventions in New York and Massachusetts, calling for equal educational opportunities at all schools, including colleges and universities. • Anthony worked as an agent for the American Anti-Slavery Society in 1856,

promoting the cause up until the Civil War. She met Elizabeth Cady Stanton and joined with her as a major speaker and contributor to seek more rights for women and end slavery. • Following the Civil War, Anthony focused more on women’s rights. In 1866, with Stanton, she helped establish the American Equal Rights Association. The organization was very vocal in calling for equal rights for all regardless of sex or race. • In 1868, Anthony and Stanton produced a weekly publication, The Revolution, used to promote the cause of women’s rights. The motto for the paper was "Men their rights, and nothing more; women their rights, and nothing less." • Anthony and Stanton continued working together when founding the National Woman Suffrage Association in 1869. (Suffrage means “the right to vote.”) Anthony spoke around the nation. (This

organization merged with a similar one and became the National American Woman Suffrage Association – • Anthony never married. She devoted her life to fi ghting for the rights of herself as a woman and others, including those of minority races. • Anthony met with President Theodore Roosevelt in 1905, to lobby for an amendment to give women the right to vote. She never gave up – but she never saw the change she worked so hard for, dying in 1906. The 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, giving all adult women the right to vote, was not ratifi ed until 1920. • The U.S. Mint offi cially released Susan B. Anthony Dollar coins on July 2, 1979, in Rochester, New York, the city where Anthony lived during her most politically active years. Anthony was the fi rst woman to be honored with her likeness on a coin in the U.S.

The Reluctant Psychic In the past few weeks our world has seen a lot of tragedy and fear. When we experience this much anxiety all at once those who are Empath’s suffer greatly. When someone is an Empath, they feel other’s emotions. If they work in an offi ce, they tend to mirror the emotions of those around them, even if they aren’t personally involved with what is causing the emotion. Other’s can be so empathetic that they feel the emotions of people long distances away. One of the many diffi culties with being an Empath is that the emotions feel like our own. When someone else is crying, we feel like crying. When someone else is angry, we’re angry also. However, it’s not your honest emotion. You are just feeling what they feel. Realizing this can be very diffi cult. If you often hear that you are over-reacting to something, perhaps it’s time to think about whether you’re an empath or not. Recently, we have experienced everything from earthquakes to terrorism, which has caused a lot of sensitive people to suffer sadness and anxiety. When we watch what’s happening on television or our computers, we reinforce those sad or angry feelings and soon we just can’t get away from those emotions. The same is true if you watch a lot of news programs about warring countries. Separating yourself from the emotions of others becomes nearly impossible. Limiting our exposure can be the easiest way to avoid feeling overwhelmed by situations happening around us. It also helps to add the color purple to your wardrobe. It can be as simple as wearing purple socks. The color purple is naturally protective. If you fi nd yourself in a situation where you can’t get away from a high level of emotions, a bath with sea salt at the end of your day will help you. Epsom salts works wonderfully. It can be as little as 10 minutes or as long as you’d like to soak. Meditation is also a wonderful way of getting balanced with what are your emotions and what emotions belong to someone else. As you meditate ask your mind to ease the anxiety of those around you away from you.

Thank you for your interest and attention. If you’d like to have a reading, please contact me. Till next time, stay in touch with yourself, your life, and with those loved ones who have moved on.
