With Artist Kyle Grover

Fri. May. 4th, 2012

It’s pretty common to look at a piece of abstract art and ask one’s self, “What were they thinking when they made that?” An abstraction is something that takes shape outside of concrete existence. But isn’t required to even possess a finite shape. It can be an idea or an idea of an idea. Or maybe it’s nothing at all. This is where Kyle Grover’s passion lies. A series of framed abstract works by Grover will be featured at Lake Avenue Cafe starting Thursday May 3rd and will run through

Naked Biker & The End of a Band

Fri. May. 4th, 2012

When you think of a Harley-Davidson biker dressed in all black there are certain images that pop into your head.  Maybe it’s the rebellious bikers of Easy Rider or the rough and tough Hell’s Angels, but here is one more to add to memory: naked streaker!   On Friday Evening at The LeGrand The Alrights played for a small, yet intimate audience.  And I mean INTIMATE!    

Saints Make D-Iii Runs In Baseball, Softball

Fri. May. 4th, 2012  |  John Gilbert

UMD has had its struggles in the Division II Northern Sun baseball conference this spring, but just over the hill, St. Scholastica is about to close out an outstanding Division III regular season, while rolling to the championship in the UMAC.

The Wild Post-Season Wrap, Part Three; The Stanley Cup, Round Two; And The Mfan Cup Power Rank, The M5!

Fri. May. 4th, 2012  |  Marc Elliott

CANAL PARK… To say that injuries drastically altered the course of the Minnesota Wild’s season would be an understatement. The club dressed a record 47 different players over the past campaign. One injury in particular seemed to have a sudden effect on the team that they would not recover from. On December 13th the team was in Winnipeg and was in first place in the league’s overall standings. Late in the third period and down by a 2-1 score, the Jets’ Zach Bogosian checked Pierre-Marc Bouchard from behind, and PMB went into the boards face-first and went down hard.

The Neurological, Psychological, and Spiritual Costs of War and Violence

Fri. May. 11th, 2012  |  Gary G. Kohls, MD

For the last decade of my 40-year career as a family physician, I practiced what was best termed holistic mental health care (i.e., using non-drug approaches, gradual psych drug withdrawal, nutritional therapy for the brain, and psychoeducational psychotherapy to achieve mental wellness).

A Potpourri of Precious Piffle

Fri. May. 11th, 2012  |  Ed Raymond

Several times during the year I end up with a lot of subjects I would like to write a column about, but many of them don’t deserve a lengthy diatribe—just a few short jabs and then a haymaker. Here are some from my collection.

Lake Superior Barrels: Red Cliff’s Investigation

Fri. May. 11th, 2012

For three years in a row, the Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior Chippewa has announced its intention to recover 70 of the 1,457 barrels of Honeywell corporation waste secretly dumped into Lake Superior along the North Shore by the Army Corps of Engineers in the ‘50s and ‘60s. Technical problems, funding delays and complaints by the Army Corps caused postponements.

Band-aids for the problems, not solutions

Fri. May. 11th, 2012  |  Forrest Johnson

The patented portable carbon dioxide/methane/greenhouse gas vacuum is a proven technology and under construction as we speak. Climate change deniers and skeptics will cringe in the shadow of the vacuum as it rolls through the nation, not quite under its own power but almost.

Those Darn Blue Jays

Fri. May. 11th, 2012  |  Ralph LaPlant

The blue jay is a bird that is common, if not too common, to those of us who have active bird feeders. John James Audubon, probably the world’s most famous ornithologist of the 1800s, found his distaste for the blue jay tempered by its grace and color.

The Jesus Bank

Fri. May. 11th, 2012  |  Harry Drabik

I almost forgot a curious thing connected to our family move to the North Shore (apparently with a plan of going broke in record time) when I was twelve. An odd age, twelve: I’ll characterize it as late-stage infancy with adult pretensions. In the foggy dew of my youth, I was ignorantly unaware of the sublime idiocy of my very able tool-and-die-maker father migrating to a place where
