For The Sake Of Our Children: The School Trust Issue

Thu. Mar. 22nd, 2012

Can we trust our legislators when they claim that school trust land bills are in the best interests of our children? During the current session, legislation is being introduced to maximize revenue from school trust lands by expediting a land exchange (HF2207/SF1857) and creating a legislative commission to replace Department of Natural Resources (DNR) management of the trust lands (HF 2244/SF1889, HF1353/SF1152, HF0435

Responsible

Thu. Mar. 22nd, 2012  |  Harry Drabik

I was asked recently about an article. The question: Was I beating war drums? Well no, I wasn’t, but in 1,000 words (plus my ability to muddle) a single clear theme might get lost in the shuffle. Nonetheless, I take responsibility for what I attempted in the spirit in which I attempted it. Sorry my intent wa

With Reporter Bill Wagness “ The glass is half full.”

Thu. Mar. 22nd, 2012

Ever since I was a child I would try to catch the local nightly news. Over the years I developed a sort of through-the-tube camaraderie with some of the local celebs that have spent years on the air including but not limited to; Dennis Anderson, Barbara Reyelts and Michelle Lee. And who could forget Tom Hanson sports!

“I’m going to tell you something that you aren’t going to want to hear,” he said. “The world is at its end. It’s going to destruct itself and I’m going to tell you why.” He leaned way far over the counter, a stern scowl upon his face. Admittedly, I felt a little anxious. Here’s this guy—an elderly man, a war vet, NRA badges and fishing lures decorating his vest, about to tell me some ancient secret. “The internet,” he

Columnist Paul Ryan sent to the minors

Thu. Mar. 22nd, 2012

DULUTH, MN -- The Reader Weekly optioned columnist Paul Ryan to Class AAA Superior this week, where he will write for Weekly Todd, an eight page photocopied “zine” occasionally left at whorehouses by Todd Winkle, an elderly pervert suffering from dementia. Content for this minor league newspaper mainly consists of amateurish drawings of an easily flustered talking vagina that the Wisconsin Newspaper Association once called “the Cathy Guisewite of hand-drawn erotica.”

Food of the Week: Asparagus

Thu. Mar. 22nd, 2012

My three favorite things about asparagus: its flavor, its appearance, and the fact that it is spelled the same way in Latin. So you know more Latin than you thought you did. In addition to these endearing characteristics, asparagus is a nutritional goldmine. One cup of cooked asparagus has only 32 ca

Whitney Saurer’s oil paintings are haunting

Fri. Mar. 23rd, 2012

Whitney Saurer’s oil paintings are haunting and beautiful. Reminiscent of characters of an animated horror film or maybe a Tim Burton movie, her feature exhibit at the Ochre Ghost Gallery displays five giant canvasses clad with bloodied, saddened young women. Whitney’s paintings traverse through realms of both the macabre and the beautiful. The women she portrays are young, mostly emaciated, maybe carry a perceived disposition of beauty and are bleeding from the face somewhere. Aside fr

Medea

Fri. Mar. 23rd, 2012

Euripides provides us some of the most wrenching theater imaginable. In “Medea”, he portrays a mythic Georgian woman, who, scorned by her Greek husband, becomes the embodiment of revenge. UMD Theatre well tells the tale tonight through Sunday, March 25 at the Dudley Experimental Theatre in the Marshall Performing Arts Center. The playwright was born on the island of Salamis. I once rode there with my father-in-law to water his grapes. At sunset, we walked past small homes of all colors on our way back to the short ferry ride to Pireaus, Athens’ port. The delicious aroma of garlic frying in olive oil hung in the air.

Philip of Nazareth: About F***ing Time

Fri. Mar. 23rd, 2012  |  Paul Whyte

Phillip of Nazareth formed back in 2009 and consists of local rockers Josh Muthler (aka Ugly Kid Joe) on lead guitar and vocals, Eric Busker on guitar and vocals, Andrew Pletcher on bass and vocals and Cory Coffman on drums and on lead vocals. The album starts out with the instrumental track “Green Eggs and Sam,” right from the start some beautiful riffage gives way to some fairly quick and blasting punk. The song was writt

Best Caves in the Twin Ports: Rathskeller & Vinyl Cave

Fri. Mar. 23rd, 2012

On Friday night at Tycoons the Rathskeller was full of brave newcomers and on Saturday the Vinyl Cave in Superior was overflowing with quiet record hounds. While these two things seemingly have nothing in common, they actually reflect our areas culture and unique personality. A few months ago Tycoons’ had its grand opening. My wife and I went to check out the food and the ambience of Rod Raymond and Tim N
