MinuteHave you ever watched geese flying south or wondered where Turtlesand frogs go when snow covers the ground? How about those delicatebutterflies who cannot survive the icy wind of winter. Let’s pause for a moment to appreciate the amazing adaptive abilities of ourwild winter residents and how they survive the brutal winters withoutthe benefits of polarguard fleece, thinsulate gloves, or down parkas.Long-Distance TravelersBefore ice and snow cover the plants and kill off the insects they eatmany birds -- and some other animals -- will move long distances toreach warmer weather in the the southern United States and as faras Central America. ● A ruby-throated hummingbird flies nonstop over the Gulf of Mexico, beating its wings 3,000 times a minuteand up to 4.5 million wing beats before it rests (25 hours later)..● Further yet the Monarch butterflies fly nearly 2,000 miles to the mountains of Mexico. There they cluster on trees in such numbers the branches sometimes break from the weight. In the spring they migrate north again, looking for ripe milkweed to lay eggs on and to eat as they metamorphize into caterpillars and again into adult butterflies. Topping the migration distance list is the ArcticTern which literally flies from the North Pole region to Antarctica. ● Our own Minnesota Loon requires clear water in order to locateand capture the fish. Since they can’t remain on the frozen lakes, theymigrate south in late fall to the open waters along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts where they eat rock cod, flounder, herring, and sea trout. Interestingly, Loons have a special gland behind their eyes. Salt fromtheir ocean diet is excreted by this gland into the loon’s nasal cavity,and then it drips off the bill, so during this time at sea, loons are quiet.They make none of the yodels, wails or tremolos which so delight us.The increase in daylight as spring approaches stimulates the loon’smetabolism and tells them that it is time to return to the northern lakes.Not all loons return. Juveniles remain along the coast for two orthree full years as they obtain their beautiful black and white feathers.Toughing It OutMuch of our wildlife cannot travel long distances, so they find good places nearby to spend the winter. Many burrow underground,(as much as six feet), and others have extraordinary adaptability.● Some birds, like cardinals, have short, thick, strong bills to crackseeds and can stay in Minnesota because they can find seeds all year. ● Many people have heard that bears hibernate but actually they aredormant rather than truly hibernating. Their body temperature does drop and their metabolism is lowered, but not as sharply as other animals. A female typically will find a den under a fallen tree, in a hole,under a brush pile, or in a rock crevice. She needs a protected place because her cubs are born in January. Male bears are sometimes solarge that they would overheat in a den, so they simply sleep outside.The Deep Freeze●Chipmunks go into a true hibernation and duringthis deep sleep their heartbeat and breathing nearlystop while their bodies get as cold as your refrigerator.Some animals of the northern boreal forests stay active but areable to shut down the blood supply to their feet and ears. Thesesmaller exposed body extremities are more difficult to maintain atthe same temperature as the body core, so by lowering the blood supply they conserve body heat and keep them just above freezing. ●Other animals have actually developed methods to survive freezing solid! Reptiles and amphibians are cold-blooded,meaning that they can’t generate their own body heat, so they produce glycerol, a natural antifreeze, which prevents their cell membranes from rupturing as they freeze. The Wood Frog usesglycerol to survive freezing and its heart and lungs shut down completely. When the spring sun warms it, the body thaws, and thefrog simply hops away. Other frogs hop to a lake and burrow in the mud bottom. To breathe, they absorb oxygen through their skin.●Our favorite bird the mosquito? It has a short life span - only two or three months so, before they are killed by the frost, femaleslay their eggs in pools of water. In the spring, the sun incubatesliterally billions of these eggs which hatch into larval wigglers.They live in this stage for about a week before turning into apupal stage called tumblers and then, depending upon the watertemperature, they emerge in swarms of adults in about a week.When that happens we know summer is back...

● On Oct. 16, 1793, nine months after the execution of her husband, the former King Louis XVI of France, Marie-Antoinette follows him to the guillotine. At a time of economic turmoil in France, she lived extravagantly and responded to news that the French peasantry had no bread to eat by callously replying, “Let them eat cake.”● On Oct. 14, 1857, engineer and inventor Elwood Haynes is born in Portland, Ind. Haynes designed one of the very fi rst American automobiles, the Haynes “Pioneer,” a 820-pound, open-bodied, push-start vehicle with chain drive, a steering tiller, 28-inch bicycle wheels and a one-cylinder, one-
horsepower gasoline engine. It had room for only one person and could not go in reverse.● On Oct. 10, 1957, the Milwaukee Braves defeat the New York Yankees in seven games to win their fi rst World Series since 1914. No one expected the Braves to win, as the New York team had already won the championship 21 times.● On Oct. 15, 1965, David Miller, a young Catholic pacifi st, becomes the fi rst U.S. war protestor to burn his draft card in direct violation of a law forbidding such acts. He was later arrested, tried, found guilty and sentenced to two years imprisonment.● On Oct. 13, 1975, singer Charlie Rich protests John Denver’s big win at the Country Music Association Awards. Standing onstage to announce that year’s winner, Rich opened the envelope, saw Denver’s name written inside, reached into his pocket for a cigarette lighter and set the envelope on fi re.
● On Oct. 19, 1869, work begins on one of the most ambitious Western engineering projects of the day: a 4-mile-long tunnel through the solid rock of the Comstock Lode mining district in Nevada to divert water. The tunnel drained some 2 million gallons of water from the mines per year.● On Oct. 20, 1944, U.S. Gen. Douglas MacArthur wades ashore onto the Philippine island of Leyte, fulfi lling his promise to return to the area he was forced to fl ee in 1942 under orders from President Franklin Roosevelt. He had left behind 90,000 American and Filipino troops, only one-third of whom survived to see his return.● On Oct. 22, 1957, U.S. military personnel suffer their fi rst casualties in Vietnam when 13 Americans are wounded in three terrorist bombings of Military Assistance Advisory Group and U.S. Information Service installations in Saigon. The rising tide of guerrilla activity in South Vietnam reached an
estimated 30 terrorist incidents by the end of the year.● On Oct. 17, 1968, Olympic gold medalist Tommie Smith and bronze medalist John Carlos are forced to return their awards because they raised their fi sts in a Black Power salute during the medal ceremony in Mexico City.● On Oct. 18, 1977, in the sixth game of the World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Yankees outfi elder Reggie Jackson hits three home runs in a row off of three consecutive pitches from three different pitchers.

Preparing for Our Christmas ConcertsCRANBERRIES (continued):
• The fi rst known recipe for cranberry sauce was in “The Pilgrim Cookbook” in 1633. Wild cranberries were probably on the table for the fi rst Thanksgiving in 1621. Cranberries have been a traditional side dish for Thanksgiving meals in Canada and the United States since their discovery so many years ago. By the way, Thanksgiving Monday, the second Monday in October, is celebrated this week in Canada. In the United States, Thanksgiving is the fourth Thursday of November.• The fi rst recorded cranberry cultivation was in 1816 in Dennis, Massachusetts, on Cape Cod. Commercial harvesting began in Harwich, also on the Cape, in 1847. The cranberry industry is still a major source of income for Cape Cod today, totaling over $100 million annually. Nine hundred cranberry bogs taking up 14,000 acres (5,665.6 ha) are located in southeastern Massachusetts, with over half of them on Cape Cod.• So, what exactly is a bog? It is “an area of wet, marshy ground, largely consisting of accumulated decomposing plant material.” Bogs provide a fertile, moist habitat that is perfect for cranberries. • Many people think cranberries grow on top of the water, but it is only at harvest that the “sea of red” is evident, and the berries fl oat. During harvest time, two different methods are used. For “wet” harvesting, bogs are fl ooded at night, and the next day, water reels, sometimes called “egg beaters,” beat the vines to loosen the berries. Since the berries are hollow, containing pockets of air, they fl oat to the surface. The berries are then gathered and loaded into trucks. The wet-harvested berries are used for sauces, juices and other products. • Dry harvesting is used for berries sold fresh. For this type of harvest, the berries are combed off the vines by mechanical pickers and bagged carefully to prevent damage. • Approximately 5 percent of cranberries are sold fresh, while the other 95 percent are used for juices, sauces, “Craisins®” and more. Craisins® are sweetened, dried cranberries made by Ocean Spray that started hitting the shelves in 1993.• Cranberry farms are mostly family owned operations that have been handed down for generations. Cranberries are grown commercially in fi ve states: Wisconsin, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Washington and Oregon. They are also grown in Chile and several Canadian provinces, including Quebec, British Columbia and Nova Scotia. • Canada’s oldest commercial cranberry farm is in Hebbville, Nova Scotia. Indian Garden Farm was started in the late 1800s and has been passed
down through four generations by the family of William Webb. • Wisconsin is the leading cranberry-producing state in the United States. The cranberry is the offi cial state fruit; it is the number one fruit crop, both in acres planted and in its contribution to the state economy. The tart berries are grown in 18 counties in central and northern Wisconsin. • Visitors to Wisconsin can enjoy fi ve festivals associated with cranberries. In June, the Wisconsin Rapids Cranberry Blossom Festival displays the beauty of the cranberry blooms, dressed in pink. Manitowish Waters hosts the Cranberry Colorama in September, which includes harvest tours. Warrens, Stone Lake and Eagle River host Cranberry Festivals in late September or early October. The Warrens Festival is the largest and oldest of the festivals. (The festivals are all over for this year, but check the Internet for next year!) • Wisconsin is home to the 50-mile (80-km) Cranberry Highway that traverses Wisconsin Rapids to Warrens and goes between Pittsville and Nekoosa. It goes through Cranmoor, the largest inland cranberry area in the world. The 29-mile (47-km) Cranberry Biking Trail is also in the area. • The beauty of cranberry bogs and marshes can be observed fi rst in the blooms and later, when the ripe, red berries shine on the vines or fl oat as they wait for harvest. Pink fl owers develop in June and July with small, green fruit developing behind the fl owers. The green changes to white before transforming to dark red in August and September. • While much cranberry history and many commercial operations are in the Northeast, Wisconsin and Eastern Canada, commercial growing in Washington State was started in the late 1800s. A visitor from Massachusetts noticed that the area was similar to Cape Cod when he found wild berries growing. Entrepreneurs purchased around 1,600 acres (647.5 ha) on the Long Beach, Washington, peninsula between 1872 and 1877 and began developing cranberry beds. They used vines brought over from the East Coast, and many pests caused problems in the new environment.• In the 1920s, scientist D.J. Crowley helped to solve the problems faced by cranberry production in the Pacifi c Northwest. The Cranberry Research Station was started and recommendations helped growers improve their crops. Today, the Pacifi c Coast Cranberry Research Foundation continues to support about 250 growers from British Columbia to Oregon. • Native Americans knew it many years ago, and now, research has proven that cranberries have many health benefi ts. They are a tasty, nutritious fruit that should be enjoyed year round.

Phone ReadingsIf you feel it’s time to have a psychic reading, but you don’t really have the time or want to make the drive to see your psychic, consider having a phone reading.
Phone readings are no more diffi cult to do than an in-person reading. Your psychic will open up the same way he or she does if you’re sitting across from them and the information will come in the same way. Most psychics don’t need to be in the same room with you or need to touch you. They just have to open up and be the channel for information to fl ow from your guide to you, or in the case of a Medium, from your loved ones who have crossed over.
I’ve had people who were very surprised that I could do a reading on someone in another state. They almost couldn’t believe that I could read someone in a different country. The paranormal world doesn’t have the same boundaries that we do. Space and distance are no barrier to information getting through.
Before you begin your reading, be sure to make a list of items to ask about. It’s also a good idea to relax before your reading. Settle your mind and physical body so that you are open to the psychic “reading” you.If you’re tense or nervous about having
a reading, it could make it diffi cult for you to have a good experience. When we are tense or nervous we automatically put up protective walls. It’s simply how we keep ourselves from getting hurt emotionally. Just like in real life though, with a wall, you have to fi nd a way to get in, even if you have to go over it, and that can take some time for the person attempting to read you.
Psychics have a reputation of “fi shing” for information. If you experience this, what could be happening is that the psychic is attempting to get through your wall by asking you general questions about yourself. When we begin to talk about ourselves we tend to relax. If you are relaxed before your reading, everything should move along easily.
Thank you for your interest and attention. If you’d like to have a reading or take a class, please contact me. Till next time, stay in touch with yourself, with your life, and with those loved ones who have moved on.

● Need your nails to dry in a hurry? Use the cool setting on your hair dryer. It works really fast. -- L.E. in Georgia● Remove mildew from plastic shower curtains by spraying them with a mix of bleach and water, or just toss them in the washing machine with your next load of towels.● We have a playroom, and the kids argue about who made what mess and who should clean up which toys. We made a cleaning schedule for the room, having one or two children per day responsible to clean up at the end of the day. It was a rough start, but the kids have learned to clean up as they go rather than leave a big mess for someone else (payback is not kind). -- A Mom, via email● If your vacuum has a paper fi lter, spray it with your fave perfume or essential oil. It will blow into the air as you vacuum, leaving behind a pleasant scent.
● To remove stubborn contact paper from kitchen shelves, use a hair dryer set on low to loosen the adhesive, then peel away slowly.● Here’s a trick for removing hard-water stains on windows or glass doors: Apply full-strength fabric softener to surface. Let dry, then use a wet cloth to remove, rinsing the cloth frequently.● Hang a bag of clothespins near the laundry basket. Then if something has a stain that needs to be addressed, put a clip on it before adding it to the basket. This way, you’ll know what to pretreat on wash day. -- D.W. in Washington● To keep pants on a hanger from creasing, I slit a paper towel cardboard
roll and slip it over the hanger. I tape it together and then put the pants over it. This has worked for me for many years. -- I.R. in Nebraska● Got a grease stain on your shirt? Cover it with baking soda right away. The baking soda will absorb the oil. Repeat
several times and launder as quickly as you can. (c) 2011 King Features Synd., Inc.
