Ventura VentsThe former Minnesota governor explains why he’ll never fly commercially again, why fluoride isn’t in the water to promote healthy teeth and how he lost his faith in the American dream — among other things. | AS TOLD TO RUDY MAXA

You won’t find yourself sitting next to former Gov. Jesse Ventura on a commercial flight these days. Last November, a federal judge dismissed a lawsuit brought

by Ventura. The suit alleged airport security procedures such as pat downs and full-body scanning constitute unreasonable searches and seizures forbidden by the Fourth Amendment. Ventura promptly announced he’d never fly commercially again and that he’d seek citizenship in Mexico, where he has a second home. But that was only one of the subjects Ventura spoke about during a wide-ranging interview with Artful Living Publisher Frank Roffers and Contributing Editor Rudy Maxa when they sat down in St. Paul’s Lowertown to discuss his take on travel. The conversation also touched on why fluoride in the nation’s drinking water might be making the American electorate passive, what it’s like living off the grid in Mexico’s Baja Peninsula, what Ventura considers his major legacy to Minnesota from his time in office and Fidel Castro’s unusual handshake. Artful Living began by asking Ventura about his second home.

Artful Living: This is a travel issue, so let’s talk about Mexico. We’re curious about your life there. There seems to be some ambivalence on your part about the United States and…Jesse Ventura: No, not at all — it was all about adventure. I got out of office, I taught

at Harvard in ’04 and when I was done at Harvard, I felt I was young enough and I was [in good enough] financial shape and that the window of opportunity of adventure was closing for me.

AL: Had you been to Mexico before?JV: I’d vacationed there twice: right after I got out of office and then the year after I left Harvard. And it was then that I found my home down there. And that was the express purpose of why I went down there. I rented a car and put 1,800 kilometers on it in about 10 days.

AL: Did you know you wanted to live off the grid?JV: I always wanted to live by the ocean, and at first I wanted Hawaii. And then the Baja came up, and I found the Baja more attractive because, No. 1, economically, it is far less expensive than Hawaii. And, No. 2, it gives you double option, which today I’m happy for.

AL: Double option?JV: I can drive there. Which is what I do. So since I’ve ceased flying, it’ll have no bearing on my going to Mexico because I’ve been driving it for six years already.

AL: And how off the grid are you?JV: I’m way off the grid. I’m an hour from pavement and an hour from electricity. My house is solar, so the sun generates my electricity. The sun which I worship today. I follow the teachings of George Carlin.

The Glensheen MystiqueInside Minnesota’s most gruesome – and intriguing – murder mystery

| BY ALYSSA FORD

feature || glensheen

In the 35 years since the Glensheen killings, the public’s fascination with the place and the characters associated with it has continued unabated. Meanwhile, Marjorie Congdon has continued to make headlines for her misadventures, including two prison terms for arson.

In June 1977, Star Wars was racking up box-office records in theaters across the nation. A start-up company in northern California fired the first salvo in the personal-computer revolution with the release of the Apple II. And after a concert at Market Square Arena in Indianapolis, Elvis Presley left the building, never to return to a stage. In Duluth, 150 local runners raced to little fanfare in the first Grandma’s Marathon, held on June 25. But just two days later, attention of the entire state turned to the port city after news broke that mining heiress Elisabeth Congdon and a personal attendant were found murdered at Glensheen, the Congdon family’s opulent estate on the shore of Lake Superior. Roger Caldwell, the second husband of Elisabeth’s adopted daughter Marjorie, was eventually convicted of the crimes. Marjorie, who

had led a troubled life, was subsequently tried for conspiring with Caldwell in the murders, but was acquitted. New evidence that came to light in her trial led to the Minnesota Supreme Court overturning Caldwell’s conviction. Before a new trial could begin, Caldwell pled guilty to lesser charges of second-degree murder and was released from prison after serving five years behind bars. However, his demons continued to pursue him, and he committed suicide in 1988.

In the ensuing 35 years since the Glensheen killings, the public’s fascination with the place and the characters associated with it has continued unabated. More than two million visitors have toured the mansion since it was opened to the public by its current owner, the University of Minnesota Duluth, in 1979. Meanwhile, Marjorie Congdon has continued to make headlines for her misadventures, including two prison terms for arson. Though three books about the Congdon murders have been published, the final chapters of the story of Glensheen and its infamous inhabitants are still being written.
