Reservation deadline is Nov. 30. Enjoy your Thanksgiving holiday. Drawing by Joyce Murphy C EDAR L AKE PARK A SSOCIATION A giant thank you to all of you for your hard work last Saturday October 24. A ll who enjoy this area and are working to restore it to its native grandeur are grateful! (Site at Cedar Lake is a 100% volunteer undertaking to rid the site of invasive plants and restore it to native plants.) By Ruth V. Jones, Site Coordinator Cedar Lake Park Association Woodland Restoration I went out to the site immediately after work on Saturday and was of course thrilled to see the results of all of your labor; I then gathered a couple of site volunteers yesterday, who collectively gave the area another 10 hours of hard but rewarding work, inspired in part by all of your hard work the day before. We are planning for next spring s work after MidMay and before July 1 when our big need will be getting rid of garlic mustard, motherwort and burdock that has invaded the site before they have a chance to go to seed. (Note: These are the three most invasive of the herbaceous plants in our area. Anytime before mid-may is just too early as the plants are not yet far enough out of the ground and by July 1, some of the earlier blooming plants are already starting to go to seed.) We are hoping that many volunteers would consider a return work day at that time. In the meantime, if any would like to continue the work in which they first participated this last Saturday, come anytime! Thank you Scott Dahl for removing logs and branches from Excel line clearing at Cedar Lake Woodlands Restoration Site and for your restitution work picking up materials left from your clearing power lines at the Burnham Boulevard entrance to the Woodland Restoration site. This is particularly appreciated by the volunteers who have worked 1300 hours Minneapolis Chief Financial Officer Patrick Born speaking at Lowry Hill s What s up with property taxes meeting Nov. 17 at the Walker Art Center. Visit to restore these woods to their native status. Your crew was already hard at work when I arrived at the site at 8:00 a.m. Nov. 6 so we missed the opportunity to have our HLP photographer get pictures of the operation since she came exactly at nine, expecting the work to be starting then. The only photo she got was of your trucks driving away! Alas we certainly planned to give you credit for your responsible restitution work as well as for hauling away your own stuff!

These poles were too heavy for the volunteers to move. We realize that there will be no further line work done at our restoration site for another five years and hope that by that time Asplundh and Excel Energy personnel will come to an understanding that it is not ok to leave line-work generated logs and branches on site.

Hennepin is proposing expenditures of $1.6 billion in 2010, which is more than 6 percent less than the 2009 final budget of $1.7 billion. The proposed net property tax levy is $663.6 million or a 3 percent increase. This increase is designated for Hennepin County Medical Center, which is faced with financial and liquidity issues due to the state s transition from General Assistance Medical Care. The budgeted levy amount is less than the maximum property tax levy (4.95 percent) that was set in September; the proposed property tax notices mailed to homeowners reflect the maximum levy amount. In addition, the county s Solid Waste Management Fee ($16.1 million collected in 2009) is slated for elimination in The hearing will be held in the County Board Room on the 24th Floor of the Hennepin County Government Center, 300 S.

3 NOVEMBER 20, MEET YOUR NEIGHBOR, MEG TUTHILL Craig Wilson interviews Council Member Elect Meg Tuthill about her decades of community activism and service, the state of Ward 10, her iconic business on Hennepin, and her vision for Uptown and beyond. Congratulations on your recent election! How does it feel to have won? It s very exciting to start a new chapter in my quest to make the 10th Ward a wonderful place to work and live. Ward 10 is commonly known as the Uptown ward. What parts of the Hill Lake area are in Ward 10? The 10th Ward includes 7 neighborhoods. The Hill and Lake Press area is East Isles and a portion of CIDNA. Among other things, you are a founder of the Lowry Hill East Neighborhood Association (LHENA) and the South Hennepin Business Association (SHBA). What prompted you to found these organizations? LHENA was founded to save our historic homes, hold the absentee landlords accountable for their properties, and to start the first recycling program in Minneapolis. SHBA was founded to strengthen the business community. By forming the association we felt we could improve our own businesses and create a stronger bond in serving the greater community. How has the area changed over the years? I think the neighborhoods have gotten safer, more desirable to live and work in. What are issues facing uptown in your immediate term? As I was door knocking this summer, the concerns of the community are balanced development, property taxes, and safety. I often hear area residents complain that we need better transit and local retail, and in the same breath complain about increasing density and traffic. Given the investment required to upgrade our infrastructure, it seems to me it would be difficult to support transit and local retail without density. Ward 10 Council Member Meg Tuthill Can we absorb density while retaining quiet, treelined neighborhoods? It s all about balance. We need to make sure that we have smart, sustainable development. We have good transit to downtown. But, getting folks out to the suburbs for jobs leaves a lot to be desired. Uptown is an entertainment destination for the entire metro area, especially for youth. This gives Uptown a wonderful vibrancy that is shared by other American cultural capitols. But neighborhood residents often feel alienated with such a disproportionate emphasis on entertainment with limited amenities. How do we strike a balance? As I stated earlier, it is all about balance. We need to be diligent to make sure that along with great restaurants, clubs, and movie theaters we have businesses that will serve the residents as well. The new hardware store to go on Hennepin seems like a step in the right direction. Are there other examples of neighborhood oriented businesses coming to Uptown in the near future? I was thrilled to have Fratalones open a hardware store on Hennepin. This is a great example of a business that will serve homeowners, condo owners, renters, and other businesses in our community. I haven t heard of any other new business opening in the near future. You ran a successful neighborhood business for years and recently sold it. For readers unfamiliar with Tuthill s, please tell us what you specialized in and what will happen to this iconic Uptown business. Tuthill s Balloon Emporium was on 25th and Hennepin for 30 years. We were a full service party and decorating [social and corporate] retail business. The store is still there under new ownership. It is now the Corner Balloon Shoppe. The new owners are doing a great job. We are just thrilled to see the store continue under new leadership. Many residents are concerned about escalating property taxes and declining or static income. I am troubled that high property taxes will lead to increased income segregation, with fewer moderate and lower income residents in Uptown, or people fleeing to the suburbs. The diversity of Uptown residents keeps it vibrant, how do we maintain this? We need to get our fiscal house in order. The beauty of living and working in the 10th Ward is the diversity. If we don t get our property taxes under control and maintain a safe community we will not have the diversity that makes this one of the most vibrant places in Minneapolis to live. What will Uptown look like in 2030? I m hoping that it will maintain the eclectic mix that we have now. We will have protected the lakes, and it will still be a very desirable place to live, work and play. What do you do in your free time? Do you have any special hobbies? Free Time? I am accustomed to working hours a week! I do like to travel, garden, gather with friends on our front porch, read [nonfiction] and above all spend time with our children and the Darlings [grand children]. What is something about you that people may not know? I have been a leader of 3 Girl Scout Troops and taught knitting to children after school. Sold!

4 4 NOVEMBER 20, 2009 F o r W h a t i t s W o r t h There s something going on here. What it is ain t exactly clear. No. No. Nothing like what Buffalo Springfield was singing about in Rather, there s something going on now days if you happen to be an 8th grader. It s high school choice season for the more than 2,100 Minneapolis freshmen enrolled in Minneapolis Public Schools, not counting the additional number of 8th graders presently enrolled in private, charter, or parochial schools MINNEAPOLIS MINDS By Steve Kotvis who too are considering their high school options. For those of us in the Hill & Lakes Press reading audience, that s roughly 728 8th graders who live in Zone 3 as defined by the Changing Schools Options (CSO) Plan. Zone 3 includes homes geographically aligned with either Southwest or Washburn. Decisions of which of Minneapolis seven main high schools got a bit simpler with CSO. If you live in Zone 3, you can go anywhere but if you want a bus ride you re going to Southwest or Washburn. But wait, you can also get a bus ride to North. North? Yes, North High School (which happens to be amazingly nearby if you venture in that direction) is the district s only citywide main high school. (I refer to these as main high schools because there are also a number of alternative high schools that typically serve students who benefit from a significantly different high school experience than most of us might envision. I think that s a topic worthy of a future Minneapolis Minds article.) As mentioned in a previous Minneapolis Minds article, I ve started working as a volunteer with the school leadership at North. Admittedly, North High School (or as it s most recently being referred to as new north ) has got some seriously strong reputation issues to overcome before it even gets on the list of some future students. But I have to admit it. I ve met firsthand an amazing student body, a committed and dedicated team THE SANTA RUN TO BENEFIT LEGAL AID - Saturday Dec. 5, 4 p.m. Run begins & ends at YWCA on Nicollet Mall downtown Minneapolis. Running, walking, rolling, or strolling. Register, get required sponsorships, pick up your santa suit and white beard the day of the run or create your own dreidel costume. Legal of teachers, leadership, and culture at North that has me thinking this might be one of the district s best-kept secrets. (Given schools have typically not marketed, I m seeing a number of kept secrets in our schools.) North s Digital Media program led by visionary, instructor, coach, and all around great guy, David Sylvestre is a wonderful example of a hands-on approach to high technology being offered at North. His student team of Polar Producers are using the latest in digital audio and video recording, filming, and editing to produce some high level pieces. KBEM radio operates on premises offering studio experience to students pursuing broadcasting. And what really astounded me was seeing the data that says North has among the city s highest school participation rates in many of the advanced level courses, especially the career technical education in robotics, engineering design, digital media, and biomed engineering. I m not saying North is for everyone. But neither is IB. (North and all of the main high schools except South plan to offer IB soon if they don t now.) So for what it s worth, consider what s going on ain t exactly clear. It s time 8th graders would do well to stop, hey, what s that sound? Look and consider what s going on.

Photo Contest Deadline: Monday, November 30, 2009 Your firewood may be home to an invasive species With winter on its way, many residents are stocking up on firewood for the colder months. If you re planning to get some wood for your fireplace, be aware that there could be a destructive stowaway in your logs. The emerald ash borer is an invasive pest that attacks ash trees, and can end up in the wood of these trees. The beetle has already killed more than 40 million ash trees nationwide, primarily in southeast Michigan. Minnesota has the potential to lose 867 million trees, D hole : Emerald Ash Borer because it has one of the nation s highest volumes of forestland ash on public property. Although the emerald ash borer has not reached Minnesota yet, it has been discovered in Wisconsin. It is likely that bug will eventually reach Minnesota. However, residents can play a part in delaying and minimizing the damage to our trees. Minneapolis 200,000 ash trees make up 20 percent of all trees on public and private land in the city, which makes it especially important to take steps to protect against the emerald ash borer. Adult borers can t fly far, so the most likely way the beetle will reach Minnesota is by people moving ash logs, ash firewood, or infested ash trees from nurseries. You can help slow the spread by: Buying or harvesting your wood near the area where you are going to burn the wood. Avoid moving firewood from its area of origination; especially avoid bringing wood into Minnesota from out of state. Asking firewood dealers about their wood. When buying firewood here in town, find out where it came from. Firewood dealers in Minneapolis are required to be licensed by the City, so ask to see the City license. Watching your ash trees carefully. The earlier the emerald ash borer is found, the sooner it can be addressed. Residents should examine ash trees in their Emerald Ash Borer to page 5 ß Sarah Beth Photography Minneapolis Kenwood area is picture perfect!

5 NOVEMBER 20, Stumped By That Tree Stump? In late April 2010, the MPRB (Minneapolis Parks and Recreation Board) will begin replacing boulevard trees that fell to Dutch elm disease or other problems. You don t want to find yourself staring at an ugly stump all summer, so now s the time to get in line for tree replacement. Your first resource is the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB) web site, Looking under the Urban Forest section, I found answers to most of my questions, though not all. A call to the MPRB answered the rest. If a tree in front of your home was cut down, you should have received a door hanger with information explaining the process for tree replacement and your options. You can call the MPRB Forestry Division and refuse a replacement tree. Hopefully, that won t be your choice. A much better option is to call the MPRB requesting the replacement of the boulevard tree in front of your home. By doing this you move to the front of the queue when tree planting starts. While it sounds a little like the squeaky wheel getting the grease, there is some logic to granting the request of a homeowner to have a tree replaced sooner rather than later. By calling the city, the homeowner has demonstrated an interest and willingness to care for the tree once it goes in the ground. The MPRB relies on the homeowner to water the newly planted tree frequently to give the tree its best start. Tell them what kind of tree you d like. Back in the 80s blocks were assigned certain types of trees for replacement, but today the Forestry Division is more Emerald Ash Borer from page 4 neighborhood for tree canopy thinning or small D- shaped exit holes left in the bark by the borer. If there is any suspicion that a tree is infested, residents can contact the Minnesota Department of Agriculture s Arrest the Pest hotline at (651) for the metro area or for greater Minnesota. Borers kill trees over a period of one to four years. The larvae live under the bark of the tree and feed in the tissue layer directly beneath the bark, which disrupts water from reaching all sections of the tree. This can cause a major thinning of a tree s canopy, with as many as one half of a tree s branches dying during the first year of infestation. Trees generally try to compensate for the loss of limbs by sprouting new growth below the level of infestation. At this time the bark may begin to split. Eventually the adult beetles emerge from the bark. In the process of emerging as adults, they leave a D-shaped exit hole that is about 1/8 inch wide. For more information on the emerald ash borer, visit b.htm By Jackie Mattingly open to having a variety of trees on the block. They have about forty types of trees that can be planted. The tree you choose just needs to fit with the other trees in terms of size. It seems a good idea to vary the trees on a block since a block with a more heterogeneous set of trees will not be wiped out when the next wave of disease hits. If you re partial to instant landscaping, it is possible to plant a larger specimen, however you must bear the cost of this choice. You ll need to work out the details with the MPRB. The Forestry Division will mark the tree stump with a T indicating where the replacement tree will be planted. If there is a legitimate reason to replant the boulevard tree in a different spot, have that discussion. The District Forester will make the call to plant in vacant boulevard spots that a homeowner has not claimed. But the city has limited funding, which is why homeowner-requested trees get first dibs. If you are concerned about boulevard spots that remain empty, you can encourage the closest homeowner to request a replacement. You can also try calling the MPRB yourself and offer to adopt a tree if replaced. You ll be signing up to water the tree during dry periods. I don t know Tree Stump if this will work, but it may be worth a try. Positive action on our part from prevention to replacement will help keep our little part of the Urban Forest healthy.

6 6 NOVEMBER 20, 2009 EWS FROM THE LIBRARY Gary Thaden, Gthaden at Gmail dot Com Northeast Library Closed for Renovation Northeast Library at 2200 Central Ave. N.E., Minneapolis closed on Oct. 29 in preparation for construction, which will begin in December. The projected renovation completion date is In planning for the renovated library, the Northeast Library Advisory Team, which consists of members of the community, provided feedback on what the community wants in a library. Design plans also include a new early literacy/interactive discovery zone for young children. Wireless access will be available. More visible and welcoming entrances will open onto an improved parking area and Central Avenue. Sustainable features incorporated into the renovation include maximizing use of natural daylight through window design, new and updated mechanical systems for energy efficient operation, use of renewable products, native plantings, and a storm water management system. See ngprojects.cfm for updates. Walker Library Community Advisory Committee The Walker Library is scheduled for renovation/construction. The timeline is to go out for RFP for construction in the first quarter of The first couple of meetings took place in October. The demographics of the community and of library users were important components of the discussion by the committee. Hennepin County Library Budget All Hennepin County departments have been asked to make reductions in order to help balance the County budget. This would mean cutting $3-5 million from the library s budget. The library s 2009 budget is $73 million. In the first half of 2009, over $8.3 million items were checked out of the 41 Hennepin County libraries, up 4.5% over Program attendance is up, as is demand for public computers and assistance by librarians. How much does the library save you? We all know that public libraries are truly invaluable - their contribution to society can t be represented in dollars and cents. However, it can be interesting to calculate how much money you save by using the library. How much would you pay out-of-pocket for library services each month? A calculator is available at The Library Foundation will use these figures to lobby for the monetary value of libraries. Please support this effort.

Shanti Mittra and Amy Sanborn with very little advance notice took over Palio and kept the tradition alive along with the fun, the games, and the music. Thank you Shanti and Amy. Also: Janet Hallaway keeper of the tradition; Maggie Mercil Queen of the Rec Center, who supplied pragmatic ideas, delivered all that she agreed to, and maintained calm efficiency; Three other rec center staff Kristi Pearson She found the right team for set up that made what has historically been a nightmare an absolute breeze this year. Special thanks to Matt Allen, whose jeep and wood trailer allowed many of the set up crew to go home early to start dressing for Palio. She also succeeded in fully staffing all volunteer positions for Palio this year. In her spare time, she rounded up all that was green to co-captain LH s parade. Palio judges East Isles: Ann Bailly has been here forever. And before Ann, her family. Ann can tell the best stories about the old houses in the Lake of the Isles area and all the people who have lived in them. After the heaviest snow storm, Ann is out first thing, shovel in hand, meticulously cleaning her side walk (long before any of the commercial services the rest of us hire!) In the fall, she s raking leaves, big piles of them that her beautiful dog Lucy tries to jump in. She stands as one of those great souls in our neighborhood, the ones that always greet you with a big smile, make you want to stand taller and give back. Whether it s serving as an election judge, as Ann frequently does, or starting a business like Alexis Bailley Vinyards, just to prove there isn t a business that can t be started in the snow, sleet and draught of Minnesota. Kenwood: Steve Remole. He and his wife Katie moved to the area in 2004, and he loves taking advantage of all Lake of the Isles offers from long walks (he can make it around in 45 minutes Katie, in 40) to canoeing (people may have seen him portaging over from his house on Oliver) to cross country skiing to ice skating. Steve even included neighborhood elements in his daughter s wedding last month an event that Steve says was the best in his whole life.

Prior to setting forth FTLP's financial information, please note FTLP was set up properly by retaining Joseph Noack, Esq. of the law firm of Briggs and Morgan, P.A. Not only did his firm draft and file the Articles of Incorporation, but also drafted the Bylaws, first minutes, and the Conflict of Interest Policy of the Board of Directors. His firm also prepared and submitted the long and complicated IRS form for FTLP to be granted tax exempt status as a IRC Section 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation. The application was granted effective to July 17, 2008, the date of FTLP s incorporation. Mr. Noack provided these services at below his firm s normal billing rate as a courtesy to the FTLP community. The current financial summary and status of FTLP is as follows to the left on this page and continues on page 9. The FTLP logo was created by Christopher Bohnet of xt4, Inc. at a cost of $600, which was a charge far below Mr. Bohnet s usual rate.

9 NOVEMBER 20, Friends of Thomas Lowry Park (FTLP) Friends of Thomas Lowry Park will continue to incur legal fees, filing fees, and administrative expenses at a substantially lower level than the start up costs. FTLP hopes these costs will be mostly paid by its Board of Directors. Future expenses for fundraisers and events held in the park but not as fundraisers, and for additional plantings, raking, and maintenance to supplement MPRB will be significant and will depend on the users and neighbors of the park for financial and sweat equity support. To make a tax deductable donation, please send your contribution to: Friends of Thomas Lowry Park 1801 Irving Ave S, Minneapolis, MN Our volunteers not only have fun, but also get immediate gratification from the beautiful gardens they help maintain.

The program, known as Let s Recycle Our Trash (or Let s R.O.T. ), requires students to separate food scraps, paper, and milk cartons into special bags for later delivery to a commercial composting facility. According to the district, twentyone sites are participating this year. Kenwood s Green Team, a collection of volunteer parents and staff, introduced the R.O.T. program in October and with a little training things have gone quite smoothly. The kids now easily toss leftovers one way and plastic the other, with the knowledge that every bag of organics will help produce compost to be used in gardens, playing fields, road construction, and landscaping. The compost is just one of the numerous efforts by Kenwood s Green Team to champion environmental sustainability, student health, and community responsibility at the school. The group has also twice participated in the Million Acorn Challenge, a five-year effort to restore oak savanna communities across the Twin Cities. The Green Team also has introduced a pilot vegetable garden, sponsored three Walk/Bike-to- School days, and coordinated recycling efforts for major school events. They ve even added a special green cart in the school library for quick reference to related topics. ikenwood.com real time real life real estate real estate and info portal for kenwood Explore ikenwood.com for all current real estate activity in Kenwood.

We invite you to visit the web site as soon as you can. We hope that we can develop information on property tax issues and advocate for change using the web site. For instance we have added information about where the Minneapolis candidates stand on property taxes and have invited all of them to make a statement. Some have and you can see what they have said on the page The Candidates The election is Nov 3 and you can see how many have identified property taxes as an issue for the election. We hope you can take some time to visit it and even add to what we have started. And make sure you tell your friends about the web site and what we are trying to do. And if you have any questions or comments, please let me know.

Oct 14th will be the meeting of the Policy Advisory committee and he expected they will make the same 3A route recommendation. He strongly recommended that the neighborhood communicate with Hennepin County officials to get funding assistance from the county to provide the connecting transit services between the two rail lines within the city, ideally, a rubber-track streetcar in the 29th street Midtown Greenway Corridor. The Uptown Bar has applied for a demolition permit and will become retail space. The patio area has already been sold-off and converted into a new retail establishment. Also, the homeowner of 2863 East Lake of the Isles Parkway applied for a demolition permit at that address.

13 NOVEMBER 20, Stats, Buyers, Tax Credit Extended By Steve Havig, President/Broker Owner GRI, CRS Lakes Area Realty of Minneapolis 2009 President Minneapolis Area Association of Realtors Low mortgage rates, affordable supply and the home buyer tax credit kept home sales moving in October. There were Steve Havig 4,676 signed purchase agreements during the month, up 34.4 percent from a year ago the 16th consecutive month of year-over-year increases in pending sales. The recent extension and expansion of the home-buyer tax credit should mean continued buyer movement into early If you were a potential first-time home buyer who was qualified to purchase, odds are good you already bought. But the higher income limits and the $6,500 credit for move-up buyers that are in the new bill open things up a bit. Traditional pending sales (excluding foreclosures and short sales) were up 55.0 percent from last October, a sure sign that demand is beginning to spill over into that segment. The October median sales price of $169,000 is a slight dip from the prior month, but the dip is much REAL ESTATE NEWS less extreme than typical in the fall months. Compared to last October, it s a 6.1 percent decline the lowest year-over-year decline in 24 months. The median sales price of traditional homes in October was $193,500, down 13.2 percent from a year ago. Lender-mediated homes posted an October figure of $129,000, down 4.4 percent from a year ago. Foreclosures are still selling much more frequently than short sales, bringing the month s supply of foreclosures to 1.4, while short sales still have 13.2 months of supply. More information on these market segments is available with the October 2009 Update to Foreclosures and Short Sales in the Twin Cities, now updated monthly and available at Good news for sellers: Homes are selling quicker and sellers are receiving closer to their original asking price than they were a year ago. However, the experience varies by price point as activity in the upper-bracket price ranges is still relatively slow. The lower and middle price brackets will probably see a lot of movement over the next nine months. MAAR s President-Elect, Brad Fisher, said it best: If you re a buyer in those ranges, action is your best weapon.

14 14 HILL AND LAKE PRESS EDITORIAL & LETTERS NOVEMBER 20, 2009 H i l l & Lak e Pre s s Hill & Lake Press has a new address: hillandlakepress@bitstream.net and new phone number: BY EDITOR JEAN DEATRICK Congratulations to the winners! We are pleased to recognize Anita Tabb who will represent us as our 4th District Park Board Commissioner. And to Lisa Goodman, our council member, we are thrilled and thankful to have her continue as our advocate in the Seventh Ward. Meg Tuthill, a familiar face and activist in the Hill & Lake Press neighborhood, will ably and assertively represent Tenth Ward residents. We are glad the November election is behind us, but anticipate better days ahead. Because of the continuing count, we don t yet know the results of the Park Board at-large election results. And we may never know exactly how we should have voted on the referendum for the Board of Estimate & Taxation. Mayor Rybak won and is on to his campaign for governor. We live in a neighborhood where many residents were willing to knock on doors, drop flyers, attend fundraisers, and write checks. It is what makes democracy work. Thanks to all of you. Our readers know and love Tom Cook, a former resident of East Isles who now lives in Los Angeles (our West coast correspondent) with his wife JoAnne. When he became ill a few years ago and couldn t write his column, I was overwhelmed with s and phone calls asking about him. I replied that in the future if he became ill I would inform our readers. Well it happened! Tom became ill only this time he did write even though he was barely out of the hospital. Tom and JoAnne visited Minneapolis in October. I suspect Tom did some heavy lifting. He has been seen at garage sales. He didn t say, but he may have purchased a huge vintage record player along with a box of vinyls and lugged it to California. I may be wrong. This may not be exactly what happened. Tom is recovering and we are grateful. I recently received the following.: Dear Friend, Do you have time in your busy day for a quick question, or are you too preoccupied with looking at postings of little kittens that are being raised by a mallard? If the answer is yes, read on How many Americans suffer from Compartment Syndrome every year? a} 14,000,000 b) Define suffering c} d} 6 The answer may be d. Shocked? Well I was, and that is why I have joined the late Art Linkletter to help eradicate Compartment Syndrome. The pain and embarrassment of having an ailment that does not have a flashy Latin name, may be made up and no one has ever heard of can be devastating. It sounds like you fell out of an upper berth on a train or did you bang you arm on a file cabinet? These are the hurtful remarks CS sufferers have to endure.

15 NOVEMBER 20, F AREWELL C ANDY L ADY By Madeleine Lowry When I saw the For Sale sign go up I was sure my children would cry. Candy Lady is selling her house and the neighborhood will never be the same. Candy Lady is the code name my kids have for the lady who lives on our block in a Madeleine Lowry perfect little house that faces Franklin Avenue. I remember the first time my kids Trick-or-Treated at her house. They were small and the night was chilly. They could only make it around our block and one other before turning into popsicles. When you are small and candy-driven, you make the most of the territory you can cover. They returned home, eyes big as jack-o-lanterns. Look at what we got! They did a giddy victory dance as they pulled out multiple oversized boxes of candy a full-sized box of Milk Duds, another of Jujubes and a full-size orange-flavored chocolate bar all tied together beautifully with a bit of raffia. It was the candy jackpot of a lifetime. My son s pupils were dilated as he rhapsodized, Next year, I am going to that house first. That, my friends, is called one-step learning. Even I was impressed. This was truly a haul. And all from one house! And it was not so early in the evening by this time, mind you. I realized that this was a woman with deep candy reserves. For those of you that don t live in my corner of Lowry Hill, let me tell you that Halloween is a serious business here. I buy twelve bags of candy every year about 250 pieces and I parse them out one at a time. Even at that pace we usually barely make it to nine o clock before we are flat out of candy. The first year we lived here I was ill-prepared. I had to resort to pennies and oranges by the end of the evening. Now I make sure to tell new neighbors to have at least ten bags on hand. I hear that trick-or-treating traffic varies greatly by block in our neighborhood and I have wondered what makes our block such a mecca for kids. First of all, we have about twenty kids on our block. Another reason is that we have a high concentration of kids in our immediate neighborhood since we are so close to Kenwood School. But the full explanation goes beyond neighborhood kids alone. Neighborhood kids start coming around 5:30 and are mostly done by 7:30 pm. After that, it s a steady stream of non-neighborhood kids. The vans pull up and groups of kids emerge. They probably come from other areas of the city that are not as safe or pro-candy. Possibly they have zeroed in on our block because of Candy Lady. Kids have highly refined candy radar. I am happy to support the Halloween dreams of small children and not-so-small children. I can understand why they come. We have a nice, well-lit neighborhood with lots of families that make it a priority to have candy on hand for them. Also, our houses are close together and that means more candy per meter walked. You don t need a Ph.D. in candy to figure that out. Did I ever tell you that we chose this neighborhood based on Halloween? Yes, well, it was Halloween seven years ago when we were trying to decide whether to put an offer on a house in Kenwood, or one in Lowry Hill. We drove around trying to judge which block had the most kids by the trick-or-treater traffic. It was dark and mostly quiet on Sheridan. Then we came over to the block that we now call home and knew we d found our neighborhood. There were scads of kids streaking all over the place, the houses were all lit up and there were these beautiful streetlights that made it very bright and safe! It looked like the happiest place on earth. This year, with the departure of Candy Lady imminent, I tried to imagine handing out hundreds of handtied candy parcels instead of the one meager mini Almond Joy that is my norm. I broke out into a sweat. No, I didn t think anyone will try to fill Candy Lady s big shoes. She s in a class of her own. Perhaps there is a place for her in the pages of the Ripley s Believe It or Not for most candy dispensed in one night. Well, Candy Lady is moving and it s the end of an era. I can imagine my grown kids telling their kids one day, You know, there was once a lady who gave out tons of candy for Halloween. And she lived on my block!

16 16 November 20, 2009 sand upon the waters By Tom H. Cook Jan (not her real name): Hey Tom, maybe you can help me. My great uncle Clarence was born in 1931 and we are having a big birthday party for him up in Ely. We re going to sneak him out to like Fuddrucker s and decorate his whole trailer in like 1930s stuff and really surprise him. Me: I d love to come, but I am busy, whenever that is Jan (punching me playfully, flirtatiously, and with surprising power.): You know it s just for family. Remember I was over your house that time and you showed me all of your old magazines, and the toys, and those old radios! You ve got the greatest stuff, you re like an encyclopedia about it, and I d take good care. Besides, you d like Unkie Clarence; he s had four bypasses and still smokes like a fiend! Me: Sounds like my kind of guy. I ll see what I can throw together. (weeks pass) Me: So how was the thing for Carl? Jan (wishing she were somewhere else): Tom, that was so sweet of you, but we didn t end up using your stuff. We thought we d just run into Fuddrucker s first, and everybody was already there! Clarence was hammered. I tried to show him a couple of those old newspapers. I m sorry but he may have gotten a little beer on them * * * * * * * Granted, not all of my lending adventures were this successful. As the pop psychologists would say, I set myself up. I set myself up to be the guy who might have the theme song from Zabriski Point, the Supremes first album, or an 8 x 10 of Sinclair Lewis. My collection was more motley than valuable. Obscure ephemera, music, and videos themed loosely around American sports, politics, and pop culture in other words, junk. Let me say at the onset, this is not a sour grapes rant about being replaced by the Internet. I happily cede the thankless, paralyzing duty of warehousing this stuff. Why I took on the task in the first place remains a painful question. Whether it is grim consolation or belated enlightenment, I have learned a something about myself: I have a need to appear smarter and nicer than I am. Part of the reason I have kept so much stuff is to show/lend/flaunt it. Perhaps I am secretly shy and thrust the stuff forward as a barrier or a diversion. Maybe in a Rosebud manner I am trying to relive a childhood I never had. Last spring I bought a pennant collection of Rock City, Yosemite, Niagara Falls, etc. from a guy who had been on countless family vacations as a kid. I paid three bucks for the box full, but later realized what I really wanted was to have spent my childhood riding all over the US in an old station wagon. Jim Bouton, the former Yankee pitcher and author of Ball Four, wrote that for years he thought he was gripping the baseball, but it turned out it was the other way around. That is the relationship between me and my stuff. JoAnne is even more determined than I am to start divesting. We are 500 books down, and who knows how many more to go. I will revisit this theme later, no doubt. In the meantime, Happy Holidays. May we be thankful for what we have and ready to part with what we do not need. Tom H.
