(Minnesota State Fair Postcard

1910)

Like many of you, I enjoy living in Minnesota. You will find me from time to time making the loon call with my hands or participating in the time-honored tradition of complaining about the weather. With the Minnesota State Fair

(outing on August 30) and the International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peo-ple (August 9) this month, the Newsletter Committee and I decided to take a brief look at the history of this land we now know as Minnesota.

“Minnesota” comes from the Dakota (Sioux) name for the Minnesota River and means “cloudy water” or “sky-tinted water.” Currently, there are four Dakota communities in Minnesota and seven Ojibwe (Chippewa, Anishinaabe) reserva-tions. Minnesota has been part of the history of many other tribes, too, such as the Ho-Chunk, Cheyenne, Oto, and Iowa tribes. Archeologists have documented human activity in the area to around 10,000-7,000 BC (in other words, up to 12,000 years ago). That’s around the time the last Ice Age ended, and animals like saber-toothed cats and mainland mammoths went extinct. The Minnesota region was important to Native Americans for waterway transportation, food, and trading amongst tribes. By the 1600s, when French fur traders entered the region, the two main groups were the Dakota and Ojibwe. Bdote (the intersec-tion of the Mississippi and Minnesota Rivers) and Bde Wakan (Lake Mille Lacs) are mentioned in Dakota creation stories. Ojibwe tribes had traveled slowly westward from the Northeast, and were well established in the region by the 1600s.

Europeans pushed out many of the Native Americans in the 1800s via treaties and the threat of military force. Minnesota became a state in 1858, and soon after came the American Civil War and the Dakota War of 1862. Treaties had been broken, such as the Treaty of Traverse des Sioux. The U.S. government kept 80% of money promised to the Dakota and made it so the Dakota people could only live on reservations until white settlers desired the land. The Dakota people were hungry because of limited hunting land, poor crops, lack of money, and gov-ernment agents refusing to distribute rations to them. The Dakota’s hunger, and anger at broken treaties and losing their land, led to the Dakota War of 1862. Hundreds of settlers were attacked by Dakota soldiers, the U.S. captured and in-terned Dakota families, and the War concluded with the mass execution of 38 Dakota men. Minnesota was attractive to settlers, with Fort Snelling for protection, the Saint Anthony Falls to power sawmills, plenty of trees for logging, iron ore for mining, fertile land for farming, and waterways for transportation. Minnesota was once known as the milling capital of the world and, later on, was known for technology with early computer companies. Many African Americans came to Minnesota after the Civil War. Since the 1950s, the Twin Cities has become increasingly di-verse with immigrants from countries like Somalia, Ethiopia, Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. Minnesota is currently known as a regional center for the arts, home to the Mall of America (the size of 78 football fields), the Mayo Clinic, the Biggest Ball of Twine, skyways (connecting 52 blocks), lakes, and I’m sure you can come up with a few things, too! Did you know Saint Paul was once called “Pig’s Eye” after a bootlegger and first settler in Saint Paul, Pierre “Pig’s Eye” Parrant? How far from the name “Saint Paul”!

More Minnesota Trivia!

1. The first Minnesota State Fair was held in 1859 and has happened every year

since with a few exceptions: in 1861 and 1862 (Civil and Dakota Wars), 1893

(scheduling issue), 1945 (fuel shortage), and 1946 (polio outbreak).

2. From 1878-1882, Minneapolis held its own fair, “The King’s Fair,” to protest St.

Paul hosting the state fair. The fair was led by William S. King, a newspaperman.

The Kingsfield neighborhood is also named after him.

3. In the Fall of 1885, East Coast reporters visiting Minnesota called St. Paul

“another Siberia, unfit for human habitation.” The Saint Paul Chamber of

Commerce responded by hosting a giant winter carnival with food, ice pal-

aces, and winter sports. The St. Paul Winter Carnival became an official

seasonal tradition in 1946.

4. Jeffers Petroglyphs in Comfrey, Minnesota were made by the ancestors of to-

day's American Indians. These rock carvings include humans, elk, buffalo, thun-

derbirds (legendary creatures), and atlatls (a stick to propel a spear or dart).

Thousands of individual petroglyphs have been inventoried and tell a story that

spans more than 7,000 years.

5. In 1985, a Minneapolis City Council candidate was indicted by a grand jury for

serving Twinkies to groups of older adult voters. After the scandal, a fair cam-

paign act was established, which is now commonly known as the “Twinkie Law.”

The Tower Garden

At the end of June we set up our very own Tower Garden and planted several

types of seeds. A Tower Garden is a tower-like structure on wheels that can

house over 30 different plants. It is an aeroponic growing system, which

means it uses water and minerals to grow instead of soil. Not only do we not

have to deal with the mess of dirt, but plants grow three times faster and the

yields are more bountiful!

The Tower Garden has a water timer and a light timer that ensures the plants

are getting the right amount of moisture and “sunlight.” LED lights come down

beside the plants and serve as a substitute for the sun. LED lights are more en-

ergy efficient and last longer than incandescent light sources. The shower cap

at the top of the tower receives water from a tube that the motor in the res-

ervoir holds.

The shower cap sprinkles water down on all the plants for 15

minutes every hour. If you are nearby the tower you can hear the

beautiful, almost waterfall-like sound it makes.

The Tower Garden is easy to use because we only have to fill the

bottom reservoir with water and minerals once or twice a month,

and the plants grow at different heights making it accessible to

everyone. In the winter time we can continue to grow and harvest

our produce and bring a bit of greenery indoors when everything

outside is hibernating. Currently we are growing basil, garlic

chives, nasturtium (edible flowers), kale, lettuce, rosemary,

tomatoes, and cucumbers. Because the Tower Garden is on

wheels we can transport it to different parts of the building for

everyone to enjoy.

Come join us every other Tuesday afternoon at Garden Club to

learn more and help us grow some great produce! Upcoming dates

include August 7th and August 21st at 3:30pm on 3N.

KENTUCKY WEDDINGS

Mostly men migrated to Kentucky in the early days of settlement. There-

fore women were scarce. When a single woman came to Kentucky, she

was immediately courted and soon married. Even the homeliest woman

was not allowed to remain single for very long. Even a widow remained

single only a short time after her husband's death. I don't really think there

was a legal age for marriage, but if there was, it was probably around 15

years.

People came from miles around to attend a frontier wedding. The wed-

ding was usually scheduled for about 10 a.m. so the wedding would not

interfere with the dinner. Most of the men were hunters and wore leather

clothes (buckskins made from deer hides). Some of the men still had the

clothes they brought with them from the east and could dress finer than

the hunters. The women wore silk if they had it, but most women wore

homespun. The women would sew fancy bits of lace and buttons to their

homemade dresses. Even the women of the frontier liked to dress up.

The wedding dinner was served at the bridegroom’s home. Every kind of

food known in the local area was served at the wedding. There was veni-

son, beef, pork, fish, chicken, turkey and duck. The vegetables were cab-

bage, potatoes, turnips, green beans, peas, corn, and pumpkin. The feast

was a merry time. Jokes were told and everybody drank toasts to the bride

and groom.

When dinner was over, the party got more lively. The people got to some

serious drinking. About this time the dancing would begin and last for

hours. At that time, the square dance was popular, as well as the Virginia

reel. The room was cleared of tables and chairs and the fiddlers struck up

a lively tune.

Sometime during the party, a group of girls would steal the bride away

from the festivities and take her to the loft and put her to bed. A group of

boys would do the same with the groom. The loft was an area above the

second floor of the house and well away from the party.

The dancing continued below until midnight and more food was served.

Food and drink was carried to the loft for the bride and groom, as well.

In pioneer days married couples did not go on long vacations. There were

no railroads or highways and travelling was dangerous. Moreover, the

young man had to get busy and build a home. His father, almost always,

gave him a piece of land. The neighbors would come together and clear

off the trees and brush where the log cabin was to be built. The house

might be built in one day's time. When the bride moved into her new

home, she brought with her a hope chest containing some homespun

clothing. She would, also, bring a spinning wheel and maybe a cow and a

calf. The young man supplied land, house, horses, hogs, chickens, and

cows. Life was very simple in those days.

Poet’s Place

Lover’s Apart

In what love does fidelity consist?

I will be true to you of course.

My body’s needs i can resist.

Come back to you without remorse.

And you, behind the footlight’s lure,

Kissing an actress on the stage

Will leave her presence there. I’m sure,

As i my people on the page.

And yet—I love you darling. Yet

I sat with someone at a table

And glories in our minds that met

As sometimes strangers minds are able.

To leap the bounds of times and spaces

And find, in sharing wine and bread

And light in another’s faces,

And in the words that each has said.

MLB All-Star Game Summary

On Tuesday, July 17th, the 89th MLB All-Star Game was held at National Park

in Washington, D.C. The American League beat the National League in 10 in-

nings (8-6). Twins All-Star, Jose Berrios’, attention to

fitness and study helped make him worthy of the

American League selection. Starting line-up in the

American league included Mike Trouts, centerfielder

of the Angels; Aaron Judge, rightfielder of the Yan-

kees; and Jose Altube, second baseman of the As-

tros. For the National League, the starting line-up

included Javier Basez, second baseman of the Cubs;

Freddie Freeman of the Braves; and Matt Kemp of the Dodgers. Houston As-

tros’ Alex Bregman was named MVP. Alex Bregman and George Springer of

the Astros hit back-to-back homeruns in the 10th, and enjoyed their trips

around the bases in the American League’s 8-6 victory.

Wimbledon Highlights

Women's Tennis

Serena Williams played a total of seven matches in 2018 before arriving at the

All England Club . German Angelique Kerber defeats Serena Williams 6-3, 6-3.

Kerber was nearly flawless in topping Serena Williams for her first Wimbledon

crown. Kerber was not about to be overwhelmed by the setting or stakes in

the Wimbledon final. She knew exactly what to expect and what to do against

Williams. Two years after losing to Williams, with a title on the line at Centre

—Written by Phil C.

Court, Kerber came through. So steady, so patient, so accurate throughout, she

never gave Williams much of chance putting together a 6-3, 6-3 victory.

Men’s Tennis

It was the kind of tennis that Wimbledon's crowd would gladly have watched all

night long. The show on Friday, July 20th, by Novak Djokovic versus Rafael Nadal

was so good it could have been an instant Wimbledon Classic had they been able

to finish their semifinal on Centre Court before the tournament’s 11 p.m. curfew.

Instead, the two players (and a disappointed audience) were sent home after the

third set on Friday, with Djokovic leading 6-4, 3-6, and 7-6, following a tense tie-

breaker full of entertaining rallies. The two players didn’t even get on the court

until after 8 p.m. because of an earlier marathon semifinal won by Kevin Ander-

son. When Djokovic converted his second point tie-breaker, having saved 3 of

Nadal’s—the clock had clicked a couple minutes past 11. That left no choice but

to call it a night. Djokovic beat Nadal the next day and went on to win the Wim-

bledon title.

Tune in and Chill Out

We all know that stress and anxiety can be harmful to our health.

It can cause upset stomachs, muscle pain, tension headaches,

and sleepless nights. Feeling overwhelmed can lead to feelings of

sadness and irritability. Chronic stress can contribute to other

health problems like high blood pressure, heart problems, diabe-

tes, weakened immune system, and obesity. Finding ways to re-

duce stress in our lives is critical! August 15 is Relaxation Day, a

day to practice taking time to unwind and care for the mind,

body, and spirit. One easy way to help you relax is by listening to

music.

Research has shown that listening to music can be an effective

stress management tool. Listening to music can help to relax the

muscles, quiet the mind, lower blood pressure, and slow the

heart and respiration rate. There is no specific music prescrip-

tion for relaxation but, rather, you should select music that you

enjoy. The tempo should be on the slow side and the music

should have a calm feeling. If the music is familiar to you, it

should have positive memories or feelings associated. So, the

next time you start to feel edgy, turn on some of your favorite

tunes and slip into a more relaxed state.

COLOR ME FOR THERAPY!

—Written by Brett Collins, MT-BC

In 1970, I was a first-year student at Monmouth University in Mon-

mouth, New Jersey. Oh, so long ago! From time to time, there would be an an-

nouncement that a well-known personality would be speaking on a Friday night in

the college auditorium. On one particular Friday night, it was standing-room-only

because the special speaker was, none other than, Mohammed Ali! That’s right,

THE Mohammed Ali, who was the heavy weight boxing champion of the world.

Ali spoke that night about quite a few random topics, and was, of course, very en-

tertaining. At one point, he was addressing his religious beliefs, and he said, “I

don’t want some pie in the sky when I die, I want something that’s good and

sound, for while I’m here on the ground.” (He always was quite the poet.)

Occasionally, over the years, I’ve thought about that statement, and it has oc-

curred to me that this is what so many people are longing for! Not “pie- in-the

sky” but something that is for now—something that is real. One of my favorite

authors has been the late Dallas Willard. Willard was the former head of the Phi-

losophy Department at USC. He self-identified as a “Follower of Jesus Christ,”

and was often invited to speak at conferences having to do with the spiritual life.

He also wrote extensively about spiritual practices, or what he referred to as

“Spiritual Disciplines.” These would include practices like Prayer, Solitude and

Meditation, just to name a few. Willard’s aim was to help people to view these

disciplines as daily practices that could have an impact on “our Actual life.” I al-

ways loved that term—our Actual life. That day-to-day string of circumstances,

that when woven together, represent our life as it actually is.

When I approach the Bible and all of its various teachings—with all of the Theol-

ogy, History, Language and Culture that it represents, when we come right down

to many of the teachings we encounter there—they are in fact about real everyday

life circumstances. This often helps me when I am preparing for Devotions or for

a Chaplain Chat, or other group experiences. I really do try to stay away from the

“pie-in-the-sky” and look for what the Bible might have to say about subjects

like: Discouragement, Loneliness, Anxiety, Forgiveness, Resentment, Worry,

Fear…of course the list could go on.

I encourage anyone to look into it for yourself. The Psalms are a great place to

start reading, and I think you’ll find that David, who wrote so many of the Psalms

was a flesh-and-blood person like all of us. He seems to be so in touch with our

Actual life.

Food Committee Meeting!

Join us on Wednesday, August

15th, at 3:30 P.M., to talk about

the food and the service!

Leonardo da Vinci was a leading artist and intellectual of

the Italian Renaissance who's known for his enduring

works "The Last Supper" and the "Mona Lisa."

Da Vinci was born on 15 April 1452, in Italy. He was a

sculptor, painter, architect, mathematician, engineer, in-

ventor, anatomist, geologist, musician, cartographer, bot-

anist, and writer. He is one of the most mysterious and

extraordinarily genius people of all time. His parents were

rich landlord Antonio da Vinci and a peasant girl, Cateri-

na. He was born out of wedlock, which was illegal at the

time.

His grew up in his father’s care and adored

painting at an early age. When he turned 14,

he was apprenticed by the famous Verrocchio.

It only took 6 years for him to become one of

the best artist in Italy. Rumor has it that after

completing the famous painting “The baptism

of Christ,” his master admitted that Leonardo

da Vinci’s work as far superior to his and he put

down the brush and never painted again. In

1478 he left Verrocchio and his father’s house

and started his mysterious professional life. He

became busy with his paintings, research, and inventions.

—Written by Chloe Tirebuck

Da Vinci is mostly known for his paintings, but here are some other interesting

facts about the man.

1. He also made drawings of musical instruments, war machines, calcula-

tors and boats; but due to the limited technology at that time, they could not be

made.

2. Leonardo da Vinci wrote in the opposite direction to how normally peo-

ple write. It means he wrote as mirror images of the actual words.

3. He was also interested in astronomy and was the first person to explain

why the sky is blue and also why the moon is dimly visible when it becomes a

thin crescent.

4. His famous paintings can be found in the Louvre museum in Paris which

has had them for over 200 years now.

5. He also studied river erosion and came out with the theory that the

Earth is much older than what the Bible implies. He also disagreed with the No-

ah’s flood theory and deduced that marine fossils left on the mountains were be-

cause of rising and falling sea levels.

Leonardo da Vinci ignites our imaginations, this extraordinary individual who

lived 500 years ago makes us realize that if we ask difficult questions and are not

afraid to seek out the answers then, in the future, all things are possible.
