988
New 988 hotline aims
to prevent suicide
Robert Hopwood
Reporter
A new three-digit dialing
code will make it easier for
people experiencing a men-
tal health crisis to reach the
National Suicide Prevention
Lifeline when it goes into op-
eration later this summer.
The three-digit number is
988. It will go into effect
across the country on July
16, 2022, and will redirect
callers to the National Sui-
cide Prevention Lifeline,
which is (800) 273-TALK
(8255).
Unlike 911, which was set
aside for emergency calls in
1968, the new 988 dialing
code will make it easier for
people to contact the lifeline,
according to the Substance
Abuse and Mental Health
Services Administration.
The lifeline is a network
of more than 200 local and
state-funded crisis centers
that help people undergoing
a mental health crisis, ac-
cording to the Federal Com-
munications Commission.
It accepts calls from peo-
ple who need support with
suicidal thoughts, who are
undergoing a mental or emo-
tional health crisis or who
are suffering from a sub-
stance use crisis, according
to SAMHSA.
The lifeline won’t be
going anywhere.
Calls to 988 will be di-
rected to (800) 273-8255,
which will continue to oper-
ate during and after the
transition, according to the
FCC.

County Sheriff’s Office is
asking boaters to consider
150 feet from shore to be a no
wash, no wake zone on all of
our area lakes and rivers.
One of the main reasons
for establishing no wash, no
wake zones is to prevent
fragile shoreline from being
eroded by the large waves
that are caused by a boat
when it is passing under
power. Now with the in-
creased lake and river levels
boats have the ability to op-
erate under power closer to
the shorelines that previ-
ously were more protected
from the waves caused by
the passing boats.

Lake of the Woods
continues to rise
Public Boat Ramps,
resorts remain
open, adjust to
near-record
high water levels
Robert Hopwood
Reporter
Lake of the Woods slowly continues to rise, creeping closer to the
record high it set more than 70 years ago.
The lake’s surface level was reported Monday to be at 1,063.2 feet,
less than a foot below the record of 1,064 feet set in July 1950, according
to the Lake of the Woods Control Board, a Canadian body that regulates
the lake’s water level.
Lake of the Woods rose two inches during the past week, and it is ex-
pected to continue rising this week, possibly by as much as another
three inches, according to the board.
The dams in Kenora remain fully open, according to the board,
which means more water continues to flow into the lake than out of it.
How much the lake rises and when the water level reaches a peak de-
pends on how much rain falls on the drainage basin during the upcom-
ing weeks, according to the board.
“[Precipitation forecasted Monday night] could temporarily delay
reaching a peak and a return to normal summer levels will likely take
many weeks,” according to the board. “A return to more sustained wet
weather could result in a second, higher peak.”
It’s turning into another wet week.
A cold front moving through Lake of the Woods County generated
strong thunderstorms and dropped rain across the region Monday.
More rain was forecasted for Tuesday and later this week, according to
the National Weather Service.
The county’s resorts and guests appear to be adapting to the high
water and reeling in fish despite the lake’s high water level and the
Rainy River’s fast-moving current, according to Lake of the Woods
Tourism.
“Despite lots of water, charter boats are running, fishing is in full
swing and has been good,” the tourism bureau said in a Facebook post
Monday. “Most boat ramps are open including Wheeler’s Point and oth-
ers.”
- Wheeler’s Point Public Boat Ramp was a busy place Tuesday morning.

CAPEL COTTAGE REVIEW

100° in the Shade

W
e just got back from our trip to see
my daughter Heather and her
family in Glenn Heights, Texas (a
suburb of Dallas). It was a little toasty there.
The bank thermometer read 100°, a tad bit
warm for the first week of June. To make
matters worse, the local ABC affiliate weath-
erman said the “feels-like” temperature was
115°. To get the “FLT” you do some kinda
mathematical formula with the temperature
and the humidity. We old geezers just call
that the “heat index.” But, everything today is
an acronym, like LOL, OMG, and GDARP
(Give Dave A Raise Please). (Editor’s Note –
Gosh Darn Another Ridiculous Plea)
Hey, I read that.
Luckily, Heather kept the air conditioning
set at 70° inside her house the entire visit, so
we pretty much stayed in most of the time.
We did venture out every now and then to
walk the trail along the wooded creek bed.
Still, it was HOT! (Editor’s additional note:
How hot was it, Dave?”)
Thank you for asking.
It was so hot, I saw a convoy of Army Na-
tional Guard vehicles conducting war train-
ing exercises at the Dairy Queen drive thru. It
was so hot, the kid who does our lawn was
holding a sign that said “Will Work For
Shade.” It was so hot, I saw Satan in Hard-
ware Hank’s buying a Yeti ice chest. It was so
hot … (Editor’s third, and hopefully final,
note: Can we get back to the story, Dave?)

Uh … okay.
Spent quite a bit of time with my grand-
sons. The elder, Caleb, will be a freshman this
year. He is in accelerated classes, digs solving
cryptogram puzzles, and wants to go to MIT.
He’s got long, shoulder-length hair. “The girls
love it,” he told me. “They like to play with it
in study hall.”
Yup, he’s got my blood.
The younger, Eli, will be a 5th grader. He
was top in his class, loves soccer, runs full-
speed all day, and is into models of fast cars.
When he managed to slow down, we shopped
for models of fast cars at WalMart.
Linda and I took the whole crew out to see
“Top Gun: Maverick” at the Show Biz in Wax-
ahachie, Texas. After loading up on pop, pop-
corn and Milk Duds we settled into our re-
cliner seats in theater #2. Linda took videos
of us to post on Facebook. Somehow she got
me with my mouth open and popcorn drip-
ping down onto my chest.

two hours. He now wants to drive fast cars for
the Navy.
Caleb was impressed with the military
service too, but didn’t fancy the idea of hav-
ing his head shaved if he joined the Navy.
“Girls may like your hair,” I told him. “But
they love the uniform.”

use extreme caution while traveling on
county roads as several accidents had al-
ready occurred.

centennial anniver-
sary, I thought it
would be important to share
the history of the separation
from Beltrami County in the
next few weeks. This week we
will cover the basics and then
dive into a few topics more in
depth in the weeks to come.
Compared to the entire his-
tory of the area that today is
the state of Minnesota, the
concept of counties is rela-
tively recent. We will start at
1849, when the first map shows
the state divided into nine
counties. The majority of
northern Minnesota is divided
into Itasca County and Pem-
bina County. The area of the
present Lake of the Woods
County is split with more of
the land being in Itasca
County. By 1855, many of the
counties closer to the Twin
Cities had organized. Beltrami
County was created in 1866, al-
though a bit smaller than it is
today. Lake of the Woods area
was still split between Itasca
A map
and Pembina counties. By 1878, Pem-
bina County changed its name to Kitt-
son County. Beltrami County extended
north, gaining the area of present Lake
of the Woods County. In 1894, Roseau
County was created, adjusting the
boundary of the western portion of
present Lake of the Woods County to
be as we know it today. Finally in 1922,
Lake of the Woods County was organ-
ized.
Rumblings of a county division had
of the state of Minnesota, circa 1860.
been happening for years prior to the
actual separation. In May of 1922, it
was reported that Baudette officially
backed the county division. The name,
Lake of the Woods County, received
many test votes at the meeting. Other
suggestions had included, Cloverland,
Spruce, Clover Leaf, Wanda, LaV-
erendrye, North Beltrami and North.
The newspaper, however, noted if any-
one had any suggestions they thought
would be better, these suggestions
gestion published in the
Baudette Region tossed out the
ideas of Lake-Woods County
and Baudette County. The au-
thor of this letter felt the
name, Lake of the Woods
County, was too cumbersome
and had too many words.
In June 1922, 500 visitors
were expected to turn out for a
meeting held at the Grand
Theatre to discuss the county
division proposition. Two-hun-
dred-fifty delegates were se-
lected to represent the
different areas of the county at
this meeting. At this meeting,
the delegates would decide
whether the area should move
ahead with steps to get the
county division proposition,
the name of the new county
would be settled, new commis-
sioners for the county would
be elected and the boundaries
for each commissioners dis-
trict would be drawn.
By July 1922, petitions were
circulating asking for separa-
tion from Beltrami County and
to have Baudette be the county
seat of the new proposed county. The
petition needed to be in the hands of
Governor Preus before August 7 in
order to be submitted to voters at the
general election November 7th.
We will pick up next week on the
timeline of how the county came to be
organized. If you want to visit the mu-
seum, we are open Monday – Friday 10

A
nger can strike when we
least expect it. A seem-
ingly personal attack can
release adrenaline in the brain and
put one’s body in overdrive. The
mind instantly prepares for a po-
tential threat. Strength increases
as pain receptors diminish. Breath-
ing becomes shallow, and the heart
rate quickens. Since the dawn of
man, survival has depended on in-
stinct and adrenaline. Adrenaline
prepares us to fight, to run, and
sometimes freeze, guarding us
against a range of predators.
Anger is just one emotion that ar-
rives with a flood of adrenaline and
cortisol. It is difficult to think clearly,
as the brain is taken over by the
emotional response center, the
amygdala. The amygdala’s mission is
to react and to do it quickly. When
this happens, we need a little help
from our pre-frontal cortex. This is
the part of our brain that helps us
reason and make logical decisions.
The pre-frontal cortex is the part of
the brain that keeps us from hitting
“send” on a snarky email that was
written in haste. The cortex engages
and slows us down when we really
want to react to road rage, and helps
us hold our tongue when we are in
an extremely provocative situation.
It buys us time to negotiate with the
amygdala and make a reasonable
choice based on our emotional
needs, a perceived threat, and our
overall best interests.
When someone is experiencing
extreme depression or thoughts of
suicide, the same brain chemistry
occurs. The emotional control center
takes over, robbing power from ra-
tional decision making. As the brain
is flooded, sensible choices cease to
exist. The question is, how can we
buy time for the amygdala to calm
down and for the pre-frontal cortex
to take over?
Time and space are paramount in
times of personal crisis. Fortunately,
there are many ways that we can in-
tervene safely and even save lives.
One of the best ways to help some-
one regain control is to listen. Being
able to vent, especially in a non-judg-
mental setting, can provide an in-
credible release. When we get things
off of our chest, especially intense
emotional pain, we can restrain im-
pulsivity and provide hope. This lis-
tening approach also works when
someone is feeling suicidal. Asking
someone directly, “are you thinking
about suicide?” helps to clarify and
reveal any hidden secrets.
Another technique in saving lives
by suicide is to put some barriers in
the way of impulsive acts. For in-
or safely secured under lock and contact Tonja 218-634-3233 office located at 406

well as gun cabinets or other safe
storage. Ammunition should be
kept separate and inaccessible.
Medications that are no longer
used can be safely disposed of at
the Sheriff’s department. All other
medications can be kept in a lock-
box with restricted access. Over the
counter medications can be rationed WI-FI

“...a black bear at his bird feeder...”
Guess we can stop complain-
ing about cold weather! Summer
is here!
Andy Lystad had a busy night
one day last week. Andy heard
some noise so looked out to see a
black bear at his bird feeder. He
got his shot gun to make some
noise and scare it away. More
noise a little later and here was a
very big black bear. Andy's shot
gun jammed so he grabbed his
rifle to scare the bear away. Be-
fore the night was over, he also
had a bobcat and a racoon at the
bird feeders. None of them have
been back since.

Seljord Lutheran Church, where
Gwen’s nephew Glenn Olson and
Debbi Pagel, both of Clearbrook,
were married. This is the little
country church Gwen was raised
in. It has been closed quite a few
years now and is being used for
special occasions. It was so spe-
cial for her being there again.
The bride and groom rode in a
one-horse buggy being pulled by
Gwen’s nephew, Gunner Olson,
driving his John Deere tractor.
The reception and dance were
held in the old Clearbrook
school. Everything was so nice

“...tending to our garden ...”
grees about 30 minutes.
We have been busy tending to
our garden and keeping up with
the lawn mowing. With enough
moisture it’s growing pretty fast.
On Tuesday night we attended
and I helped with the lunch at
the Flag Day flag burning at the
Roosevelt Legion Hall. Such a
nice ceremony to properly dis-
pose of the worn flags. I’ve been
busy making rhubarb/straw-
berry jam for the last week. On
Wednesday morning I rode to
Warroad with my sister Rosanna
Sorrels for our monthly dinner
out at Daisy’s Garden. The neigh-
borhood bear hasn’t been here
since that bear was killed west of
Williams. In the meantime he de-
stroyed three of our bird feeders.
I joined our coffee group for
breakfast on Thursday morning.
That night Bob and I attended
the Back Home days meeting in
Williams. Final plans were made
and it’s a go for the Saturday fes-
tivities and picnic. The senior
center will be serving up a pan-
cake breakfast to get your day
started. All are welcome. I
worked at and attended the me-
morial service at the Roosevelt
Legion hall on Saturday for Gary
Lindgren. Prayers and sympa-
thies to his family. That night we
treated Pastor Rachel Johnson
and Mark and Louise Schreiner
to the fish fry at Morris Point. Of
course we finished it off with an
old fashioned ice cream cone at
the LOW campground. Scott was
our Father’s Day dinner guest.
Later in the day we delivered
meals to Christopher and Rox-
anne, Tiff and the kids, and
Leroy and Tawnee and the kids.
Happy 1st anniversary to a

Coleen R. Norris, 60
Coleen Rae Norris, 60,
died on Thursday, Decem-
ber 2, 2021, at her residence
in rural Thief River Falls,
MN, surrounded by family.
Her Celebration of Life
Service will be held at 1:30
PM on Friday, July 1, 2022,
with Pastor Birgitte Simp-
son officiating, at the Carp
Hall, 6023 County Rd 1 SW,
Baudette, MN.
The visitation in honor
of Colleen will be held
from 1:00 PM until 3:00 PM
on Friday, July 1, 2022 at
the Carp Hall in Baudette.
In lieu of flowers, me-
morials preferred to the
American Cancer Society
or offer a random act of
kindness to others.
Coleen Rae (Hancock)
Norris was born on Janu-
ary 3, 1961 to Chub and
Marj Hancock in Baudette,
Minnesota. Coleen idolized
her father and revered her
mother. She relished her
memories with her sib-
lings, cousins, and friends
as they played on the farm.
She developed a strong
work ethic from a young
age as she marched in the
footsteps of her dad. She
graduated from Lake of the
Woods High School in 1979
and held on to lifelong
friendships from child-
hood.
After graduating high
school, she followed her
heart to Anchorage,
Alaska where she met her
soulmate, Wes Norris. In
1982, the couple welcomed
their first child, Travis
James. Five years later, the
family celebrated the addi-
tion of their second child,
Katrina Rae.
Coleen brought up her
family in the same commu-
nity she was raised. She
spent many years working
as a dietary aid at Lake-
wood Care Center. She
loved the residents and her
colleagues dearly. She en-
joyed volunteering in her
community and cheering
her children on with their
activities.
Coleen and Wes had an
adventurous spirit and
moved to Rangely, Col-
orado after their youngest
left the nest. While in Col-
orado, she developed deep
friendships with kindred
spirits. She poured her
heart into her work at
Eagle Crest Assisted Liv-
ing. After ten years in Col-
orado, the couple moved to
Crosby, North Dakota be-
fore settling down in Thief
River Falls, Minnesota to
be closer to family.
She could not be more
loving of her children’s
spouses, Casey and Erik.
She was a very proud
mother and even prouder
grandma to her four
beloved grandsons. She
formed special relationship
nephews affectionately
knew her as “Auntie
Coco.” Nothing made her
smile bigger than when she
shared stories of her
grandchildren.
She had a green thumb
and could grow ten-pound
tomatoes, then make the
best salsa you’d ever
tasted. Coleen had a way of
developing strong bonds
with people of all ages, cul-
tivating long lasting friend-
ships. She will be
remembered for her roar-
ing laugh, generous spirit,
vibrant personality, and
compassionate heart. Her
laughter was truly conta-
gious, but she wanted her
kindness to be just as con-
tagious. She would have
given the shirt off her back
to a stranger in need. She
was truly an angel on
earth and will be dearly
missed.
Coleen’s health began to
decline but you’d never
know it because she never
wanted others to worry
about her. Her mobility
slowed but her love flowed.
She put others before her-
self right up until the end.
She had an aggressive
form of cancer that took
her within weeks of her di-
agnosis. She died peace-
fully at home surrounded
by those that loved her
deeply. Her son was hold-
ing her hand as she took
her last breath on earth.
Coleen is preceded in
death by her beloved father
Chub Hancock; niece
Trudy Mollberg; great
niece Baleigh Mollberg;
her grandparents Dorothy
Overland, Leroy and Velma
Epley.
She is survived by hus-
band Wes Norris, son
Travis (Casey) Norris,
daughter Katrina (Erik)
Tharalson, grandson’s
Tucker, Chase, and Tegan
Norris, and Henrik Tharal-
son, mother Marj Hancock,
siblings Nadine (Darwin)
Hanson, Linda (Stan) Bab-
nik, Lee (Yvonne) Hancock,
Sandra Rose, and Terri
(Jeff) Matthis, many
nieces/nephews, extended
family, and friends.

tian is to live a life of congruence, to
practice what you preach and to au-
thentically live out the teachings of
of the Christian faith.
Jesus compares offering compas-
sion to those in need to directly of-

I
Baudette n James 1:27 we read, “Reli-
SNOWPLOW gion that is pure and undefiled
218-634-1636 before God, the Father, is this:
to visit orphans and widows in their
www.johnsonbaudette.com affliction, and to keep oneself un-
stained from the world.” There is an
inextricable connection between
faith and compassion. The truest ex-
pression of faith in God is to become
a compassionate presence in the
lives of others. It can be easy to di-
vorce compassion from theology—
those times when we express
intellectual ascent to the things of
Northern Light Region God but simultaneously abandon a
friend in need, or neglect an impor-
tant relationship.
Jesus. According to James, the way
that we authentically live out faith
and theology is by the tangible ex-
pression of meeting others’ needs. In
Acts 2:45 the early church is describe
as thus, “And they were selling their
possessions and belongings and dis-
tributing the proceeds to all, as any
had need.” This is not meant to be
an indictment of the church today—
that they are somehow not living up
to the ideal of the early church, but
rather it is an invitation into a life
giving, freeing, and joyful way of
being. To give compassion to those
around you is not so much a spiri-
fering compassion to him. In
Matthew 25:40 we read, “And the
King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say
to you, as you did it to one of the
least of these my brothers, you did it
to me.’” The word compassion is de-
rived from a Latin word meaning, ‘to
suffer with.’ By offering compassion
to those suffering is to accompany
them in their suffering and to feel
some of the pain they are experienc-
ing. By stepping into this space, we
are embodying the theological prin-
ciples that we believe.

Sometimes a bear that causes problems
must be killed. The DNR only kills bears
when they have been determined to be a
public safety threat; this happens on aver-

Can I shoot a problem bear?
Homeowners and farmowners kill the
majority of nuisance bears, which is al-

2022 was a success for the Williams
Gardeners in terms of people coming
out to see the wild flowers…we had
successful Wild Flower Tour
This year’s prize winners were Jenn
Knoll, Mason Knoll, Rosemary John-
son, Becky Dawley and Jayden Walz.
Just a reminder, please don’t dig any
wild flowers but most especially the
Lady Slippers. The Show Lady Slipper
is Minnesota’s state flower and is one
of Minnesota’s rarest wild flowers. Its
population is endangered by wetland
drainage, ditching, herbicides use on
roadside areas, road side construction ,
and by illegal picking and uprooting.

Since 1925 this rare wild flower has

Remember they take up to 16 years to

families, new wild flower enthusiasts
and loyal followers.
The Williams Gardeners were able
to find and mark 51 wild flowers rang-
ing from Pussy Toes to Flag Iris to
Showy Yellow Lady Slippers.
There was not a trace of the Pink
Showy Lady Slipper, although her fo-
liage was found in the park and other
places. She is certainly taking her time
this year thanks to Mother Nature.
Blueberry Hill has an abundance of
wild flowers. Hundreds of blue berries
are flowering and making berries…
Wild Strawberries, Spreading Dogbane,
False Lily of the Valley, and Wild Roses
to name a few.
Anyone wanting to take the self-
guided tour can simply follow the
markers starting at Lady Slipper Park
in Williams and ending at Blueberry
Hill west of Williams on Highway 11.
The Pink Showy Lady Slipper is
sure to show up soon! Markers will be
up for the next 7-10 days. Brochures
and maps are available by calling 783-

When the Enchanted Cottage at the cor-
ner of Main Avenue and Second Street be-
came available, the Jochims bought it.
“It’s nice to have everything in a store,”
instead of having it spread out over multi-
ple rooms and areas, she said.
The Lighthouse Thrift Store relies on
volunteers to help run it. Jochim is working
with seven volunteers now, but she said the
store could use more help. Volunteers usu-
ally work for about four hours a shift.
Money raised by the store goes towards
Northern Lighthouse Ministries and the
Food Shelf, which provides food for those
who need it.
“I don’t run a thrift store because it]s a
moneymaker,” she said. “I run a thrift store
because there’s a need in town.”
The thrift store’s grand opening will be
Saturday, July 2, Jochim said. They plan to
serve shoppers with cookies and a bever-
age.
The Lighthouse Thrift Store will open
Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 10
a.m. to 5 p.m. And on Saturdays, it will be
open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Popular insect repellant plants
Homeowners choose plants for
their properties based on a number
of variables. Some may be into grow-
ing their own foods, while others de-
sire their gardens to be an
awe-inspiring mélange of bright col-
ors and alluring scents. There’s no
wrong reason to plant a fresh gar-
den, but some plants offer extra ben-
efits, such as repelling insects.
Insects can be a nuisance and a
threat to individuals’ overall health.
According to the American Acad-
emy of Family Physicians, insect-
borne diseases are viral and
bacterial illnesses that develop from
insect bites. Mosquitoes, sand flies
and fleas are some examples of in-
sects that can pass on disease. Fever,
chills, headache, and muscle sore-
ness are just a few of the more com-
mon symptoms linked to
insect-borne diseases.
The good news for avid gardeners
is that certain plants can help repel
insects and provide the additional
benefits like fresh food and aesthetic
appeal that so many people love.
AT HOME
• Basil: The aroma of fresh basil
is enough to compel any gardener to
make a place for it in their garden.
But there’s more to fresh basil than
its scent, as the Farmers Almanac
notes it can be used to repel mosqui-
toes and moths.
• Lavender: Fleas, flies, mosqui-
toes, and moths are not fans of this
aromatic and colorful member of
the mint family. Bees tend to be
drawn to lavender, a durable plant
that many garden centers recom-
mend in areas prone to drought or
hot summers without much precipi-
tation.
• Mint: Mint is another plant that
is instantly recognizable for its
aroma. But mint lovers may not re-
alize that it’s also great for keeping
ants at bay. Mint also can be used to
repel mosquitoes, but gardeners
with no experience planting mint
should plant it in pots. That’s be-
cause the Farmers Almanac notes
mint is an especially aggressive
spreader that can quickly take over
a garden. Separating mint in pots
can prevent it from bullying its way
into other plants’ domains.
• Lemongrass: Lemongrass is a
tropical grass that’s so fragrant it’s
often used in perfumes. Lemongrass
contains citronella, which many
people associate with repelling mos-
quitoes. A potted lemongrass plant
can repel these unwanted guests,
keeping them away from decks,
porches and/or patios all summer
long.
• Chrysanthemums: The Farmers’
Almanac® recommends using
chrysanthemums, which repel a
range of insects from bedbugs to
fleas to ants, as border plants
around a home. That’s because they
contain the natural insecticide
pyrethrin, which can serve as some-
thing of an insect-repelling bound-
ary around a home.
Insects are unwanted guests
around a home each spring, summer
and fall. Certain plants can help
repel insects and serve as an eco-
friendly alternative to insecticides.
Bacon-Wrapped
r
Steak Bites
• 2 tablespoons barbeque seasoning (such as
KC Masterpiece®), or to taste
• 2 pounds beef tips, trimmed
• 1 pound bacon, strips cut in half
toothpicks
Rub barbeque seasoning into beef tips until meat has
an orange hue, 3 to 5 minutes. Cut beef into 1-inch
cubes. Wrap each beef cube in a bacon slice and se-
cure bacon slice with a toothpick. Heat a skillet over
medium-heat. Working in batches, cook wrapped beef
tips in hot skillet until beef is browned all over and
bacon is crispy, 5 to 10 minutes.
Cook's Note:
Touch your left or right index finger to your thumb gently. Now feel
the muscle just below your thumb's knuckle. Can you feel how soft
that muscle is? That is how soft your sirloin must be to
appropriately season/tenderize it.

HISTORY
THE CILl'INEI
* On July 9, 1777, New York
elects Brigadier Gen.
George Clinton as the first
governor of the independ-
ent state of New York. Clin-
ton would go on to become
New York]s longest-serving
governor, as well as the
longest-serving governor in
the U.S., holding the post
until 1795.
* On July 7, 1852, according
to Sir Arthur Conan
Doyle]s stories, Dr. John H.
Watson is born. Coinciden-
tally, the Sherlock Holmes
author died on this day in
England at the age of 71.
* On July 4, 1911, record
temperatures are set in the
northeastern U.S. with the
arrival of a deadly heat
wave that would go on to
kill 380 people. On July 13,
New York alone reported
211 people dead from the
excessive heat.
* On July 10, 1925, in Day-
ton, Tennessee, the so-
called Monkey Trial begins
with John Thomas Scopes,
a young high-school sci-
ence teacher, accused of
teaching evolution in viola-
tion of a Tennessee state
law. The law made it a mis-
demeanor to teach any the-
ory that denied the story of
man]s Divine Creation.
* On July 5, 1946, French
designer Louis Reard un-
veils a daring two-piece
swimsuit at a popular
swimming pool in Paris.
Reard dubbed the swimsuit
a “bikini,” inspired by a
U.S. atomic test that took
place off the Bikini Atoll
earlier that week.
* On July 8, 1950, the day
after the U.N. Security
Council recommended that
all U.N. forces in Korea be
placed under the command
of the U.S. military, Gen.
Douglas MacArthur is ap-
pointed head of the United
Nations Command. When
MacArthur later publicly
threatened to escalate hos-
tilities with China, Presi-
dent Harry Truman fired
him.
* On July 6, 1971, Louis
“Satchmo” Armstrong, one
of the most influential mu-
sicians of the 20th century,
dies in New York City at the
age of 69. Armstrong pio-
neered jazz improvisation
and the style known as
swing.
