ROEHL DRIVER TRAINING CENTER As we pass out of the hottest summer on record in the US and in Minnesota, let’s take a cool refreshing pause and think of the other dynamics in our great variable weather patterns. From mid-October to mid-November, New England annually undergoes swift and dramatic changes in the weather as it transitions from Fall to Winter. Nor’easters, powerful weather systems that can span more than 1,000 miles, are known for dumping huge amounts of rain and snow and producing hurricane-force winds and generating beach-eating waves and coastal ooding. A Nor’easter is named for the direction from which the winds blow on the back side of an intense weather system circulating in a counterclockwise manner. There are two main components to a Nor’easter: A Gulf Stream low-pressure system — (counter-clockwise winds) generated off the coast of Florida and gathering warm air and moisture from the Atlantic and strong northeasterly winds — (clockwise winds) forming at the leading edge of the system drawing it up the east coast. As it is pulled up the east coast, it meets with cold Arctic air blowing down from Canada. When the systems collide, the moisture and cold air produce an unpredictable mix of precipitation and wind potential. As usual, in the fall of the year, cold air from Canada was oozing south and combined with a cold front arriving from the midwest to move through the northern tier of states. At the same time, a huge high-pressure system was building over southeast Canada. The high pressure area and the low pressure system moving across the Northern Tier had merged into the beginnings of a typically nasty Nor’easter, swirling back on itself, once again bringing a familiar, but unwelcome storm system to the hardy folk of New England. October, 1991 was going to be different to say the least. The wild card was Hurricane Grace, a large tropical system that originated near Bermuda and had gained hurricane force on October 27th. Grace, which would eventually achieve the status of a Category Two hurricane, was headed in a northwesterly direction and might have made landfall along the eastern seaboard under different conditions; but, in it’s waning stages, yet still packing high-potency winds, it suddenly made a hairpin turn northeast toward the newly combined Nor’easter hovering south of the Maritimes. We’ll never know exactly what the outcome would have been without Grace; the situation was already potent, but the resulting collision of these three large weather systems off the coasts of New England, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland, was nearly apocalyptic, forming seas four stories high from crest to trough that were felt all the way from Newfoundland to Puerto Rico. The resultant tempest in the North Atlantic claimed all things non- aquatic. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the NWS Disaster Survey Report ofcially called the storm “The Halloween Nor’easter of 1991.” Robert Case, deputy meteorologist of the NWS Boston ofce, coined the phrase “The Perfect Storm”. The behemoth claimed 12 lives, including all six hands aboard the MV Andrea Gail, a commercial swordshing boat caught out at sea 500 miles from port. Those men were the focal point of a 1997 best-selling novel and a movie in 2000, starring George Clooney. The Andrea Gail was caught on the horns of a dilemma — it could not retreat to safer waters due to its highly perishable cargo and supposed ice machine failure — and it could not safely forge ahead. To remain as a cor k in those seas was surely not an option either. So forge ahead they did with predictably tragic results. They were met by 40-foot waves and winds howling at more than 50 mph. Higher waves were reported by passing ships, but they were unconrmed. Little known was that as the center of The Perfect Storm drifted southward over the warm waters of the Gulf Stream, it spawned yet another tropical storm that morphed into a Category One hurricane. This remained out at sea, but to avoid confusion and fear in the Northeast of a another potential weather disaster, the NOAA decided to let it be known as the “Unnamed Hurricane of 1991”. (It normally would have been named Henri). The stalled cold front in the Midwest caused by The Perfect Storm produced a record weather event for Minnesota. Dubbed the ”Great Halloween Megastorm”, this huge blizzard lasted for three days, set the record for the largest single-storm snowfall (28.4”) in Minneapolis history, and the 37.9” received in Duluth has remained the record snowfall in the state of Minnesota. The warmer temperatures in southern Minnesota and Iowa, caused a major ice storm, layering 2-3 inches of ice, snarling trafc, and shutting down public transportation. Ten to fteen percent of the corn crop was still unharvested and the combination of ice, snow, and wind attened elds causing crop damage estimated up to $5 million.

• About 40 percent of the world’s corn is grown in the United States. Over half of the U.S. corn grows in four states: Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska and Minnesota.

The “Corn Belt” in the United States is typically defi ned as the above four states plus Ohio, Indiana, Missouri and Kansas. The corn-growing region has relatively level land, adequate rainfall and rich, fertile soil. • For the last two decades Iowa has produced the largest corn crop of any state. Actually Iowa produces more corn than most countries. For example, Iowa grows about three times as much as corn as Mexico, even though the corn consumption per person there is almost three times higher than in the United States.• Approximately 90 percent of the corn in the United States is grown on family farms. Irrigation is usually unnecessary, with 87 percent of the corn grown using only natural rainfall. • There are fi ve varieties of corn: 1) fi eld corn, which is used for livestock feed, fuel and industrial products; 2) popcorn; 3) food-grade corn, used for numerous food products like corn bread and tortillas; 4) sweet corn, the best to eat; and 5) seed corn, grown for kernels to be used for the next year’s crop. • Most things in nature that have rows or lines tend to grow in even numbers. This comes about with cell division; one cell dividing into two and continuing evenly. Corn kernels always grow in an even number of rows. An average ear of corn has 800 kernels in 16 rows.• One of the primary uses of fi eld corn is animal feed. Approximately 40 percent of the U. S. corn crop is used as livestock and poultry feed. • Included in this 40 percent is the production of distiller’s grain, a co-product from ethanol production that is a great supplement for animal feed.• Another use of fi eld corn is ethanol production. In 2010, 36.5 percent of the U.S. corn crop was used to produce ethanol. Ethanol is a clean alternative fuel that is blended with 70 percent of the gasoline produced in the United States and comprises about 4.6 percent of total U.S. gasoline consumption.• Lastly, fi eld corn is used for a

variety of industrial products, including bioplastics, fabrics, crayons, compostable tableware and food containers.• Popcorn has been part of American cuisine since before the arrival of Christopher Columbus in 1492. In fact, research indicates that likely ancestors of Native Americans enjoyed popcorn before the birth of Christ.• Nutritionally, popcorn is a good source of fi ber and complex carbohydrates yet low in fat and calories, making it a great between-meal snack. Air-popped popcorn contains 31 calories per cup, oil-popped popcorn contains 55 calories per cup, and lightly buttered popcorn contains 133 calories per cup. Three cups of popped popcorn equals one serving from the grain group.• Reports in March 2012 from a study conducted at the University of Scranton indicated that the crunchy hull of popcorn is rich in polyphenols. Polyphenols are antioxidants that prevent damage to cells and may have disease-fi ghting properties.• By the way, when popcorn pops, it forms two basic shapes: snowfl ake and mushroom. Movie theater and ballpark popcorn are snowfl ake-shaped because this form looks and pops bigger. Mushroom popcorn is used more for candy because it doesn’t crumble. • Sweet corn differs from other corn varieties in that it is genetically distinct and accumulates twice the amount of sugar as fi eld corn. The sought-after taste of sweet corn is best experienced by eating it directly off the cob. The Papoon variety of sweet corn, the fi rst variety acquired by European settlers in North America, can be traced back to the Iroquois tribe of Native Americans in 1779.• Constantine, Michigan, proclaims itself the “Seed Corn Capital of the World.” Reportedly, 20 percent of the seed corn production in the United States occurs in greater Constantine and the surrounding counties.• Food-grade corn comes generally as either white corn or yellow corn. Yellow corn is more prevalent, but with the swelling Latino population in the United States and the fact that white corn is preferred for Latino recipes (for example, Mexican tortillas), the demand for food-grade white corn is increasing.• Corn is one of the most pervasive food ingredients in the world today. Consider this list of corn-containing foods that is signifi cant but far from complete: baking mixes, baking powders, cornbread, corn fl akes, Fritos, grits, hominy, margarine, popcorn, tortillas. Consider also the many non-food items that contain corn: aspirin, cough syrups, envelopes, gelatin capsules, powders, stamps, starched clothing, talcums, toothpaste, soaps and vitamins. Corn is actually an ingredient in more than 3,000 grocery products!• There are many corn festivals across the United States, mostly in August and September. There are even some corn festivals in Canada. Probably one of the biggest and longest-running annual festivals is the Mendota Sweet Corn Festival in Mendota, Illinois. In its 65th year, the festival serves free corn that has been cooked “with the help of a vintage steam engine.”

■ On Aug. 28, 1774, Elizabeth Ann Bayley is born in New York City. She went on to found the fi rst Catholic school and the fi rst female apostolic

community in the United States. She also was the fi rst American-born saint beatifi ed by the Roman Catholic Church.

■ On Aug. 27, 1883, the most powerful volcanic eruption in recorded history occurs on Krakatau (also called Krakatoa), a small island located in Indonesia. Heard 3,000 miles away, the explosions threw 5 cubic miles of earth 50 miles into the air and created 120-foot tsunamis.

■ On Aug. 29, 1942, the Red Cross reveals that Japan has refused free passage of ships carrying food, medicine and other necessities for American POWs held by Japan. Japan allowed just one-tenth of what POWs elsewhere received to reach prisoners in their territories.

■ On Aug. 31, 1959, Brooklyn Dodgers left-hander Sandy Koufax strikes out 18 batters, setting a new

National League record for most strikeouts in a single game. Koufax retired after the 1966 season at just 30 years old because of arthritis in his elbow. He was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1972.

■ On Aug. 30, 1967, Thurgood Marshall becomes the fi rst black American to be confi rmed as a Supreme Court justice. He would remain on the Supreme Court for 24 years before retiring for health reasons, leaving a legacy of upholding the rights of the individual.

■ On Sept. 2, 1987, the trial of Mathias Rust, the 19-year-old German pilot who fl ew his Cessna plane into Red Square in May 1987, begins in Moscow. Rust had become an international celebrity after he fl ew completely undetected through Soviet airspace. At his trial, Rust claimed he was merely trying to promote world peace.

■ On Sept. 3, 1783, the American Revolution offi cially comes to an end when representatives of the United States, Great Britain, Spain and France sign the Treaty of Paris. The signing signifi ed America’s status as a free nation, as Britain formally recognized the independence of its 13 former American colonies.

■ On Sept. 7, 1936, Charles Harden Holley is born in Lubbock, Texas. Writing and performing under the name Buddy Holly, he would have an infl uence on rock ‘n’ roll that would far outlast his tragically shortened career. He left behind a legacy that includes “That’ll Be The Day,” “Peggy Sue,” “Not Fade Away,” It’s So Easy,” “Everyday,” “Oh Boy!” and “Maybe Baby.”

■ On Sept. 4, 1957, Ford Motor Company unveils the Edsel, the fi rst new automobile brand produced by one of the Big Three car companies since 1938. One reporter called it “an Oldsmobile sucking a lemon.” In addition, at highway speeds the famous hood ornament had a tendency to fl y off and into the windshield.

■ On Sept. 8, 1986, “The Oprah Winfrey Show” is broadcast nationally for the fi rst time. It went on to become the highest-rated talk show in TV history. By 2008, “The Oprah Winfrey Show” had an estimated weekly audience of some 46 million viewers in the United States and was broadcast around the world in 134 countries.

▲ “I used double-faced tape to stick a couple of

clothespins inside the cabinet under my sink. That way, I can hang my gloves under the sink when I’m fi nished with the dishes.” -- T.C. in Minnesota

▲ Help nylons and tights retain elasticity by giving them a fi nal rinse in diluted vinegar before hanging to dry. Never add nylons to a heat dryer.

▲ Ease the weekday-morning time crunch by planning your wardrobe on the weekends. Use a single hanger to gather everything you need for a smart, pulled-together look. Attach a plastic sandwich bag with accessories to the hanger with a clothespin, and you’ll be dressed in minutes.

▲ If your bananas start to brown on the outside, put them in the fridge. They’ll still get brown, but the inside

will stay fi rm instead of getting mushy.

▲ The best way to cook leafy, green veggies such as spinach and kale is to stir fry them in just the water left over from rinsing. It works very well to steam them, and adds no fat!

Life is tasteless without salt! In addition to providing seasoning, it’s a component of your blood, sweat and tears and is essential to the proper function of the human body. What don’t you know about this important commodity? Read along and see!• The Bible contains the fi rst written reference to salt, recorded in the Book of Job around 2250 B.C. Salt is mentioned in 31 other places, including the story of Lot’s wife being turned into a pillar of salt when she disobeyed the words of angels. As she and her family were fl eeing the destruction of the wicked city of Sodom, she was told not to look back, but she turned to gaze at the blaze and was transformed.• There are two chief methods of producing salt — evaporation and mining. In the evaporation process, salty sea water is guided into large clay forms for natural evaporation by the sun. Sea salt is the source for about 80 mineral elements essential to proper body function, including iron, iodine, sulfur and magnesium. In underground mines, salt is found in veins and domes and is mined by large machines snaking their way through passageways. Large underground deposits can be found around the globe, including parts of Ontario, Nova Scotia and Saskatchewan in Canada, and New York, Michigan, Texas, Ohio, Kansas and New Mexico in the United States. There are such large beds near Salzburg, Austria, it was aptly named “The City of Salt.” The United Kingdom is also home to extensive salt beds. • Throughout history, salt has been a valuable item of trade. Governments have frequently controlled the price of salt, maintaining a monopoly by charging special taxes. Salt taxes have supported monarchs and funded wars. During the Middle Ages, salt was so expensive, it earned the nickname “white gold.”• Salt has been used as currency for centuries. Even up to the beginning of the 20th century, one-pound bars of salt

were used as money in what is now the country of Ethiopia. Early civilization advanced tremendously once salt’s ability to preserve food was discovered. No longer were people dependent on what was readily available to eat, and long-distance travel also increased as preserved provisions could be transported. Early Roman soldiers’ wages were paid in salt, or salarium argentum, a term from which we derive our English word “salary.” Romans even built roads specifi cally for transporting salt, such as the Via Salaria, which led from Rome to the Adriatic Sea, where a salt-producing area was located. In ancient Greece, salt was traded for slaves, leading to the expression, “He is not worth his salt.” In early American history, President Thomas Jefferson hoped that the Lewis and Clark expedition would be able to locate a mountain of salt rumored to stand near the Missouri River, which would have been a very valuable fi nd. American soldiers also received salt as salary during the War of 1812 because the government lacked currency to pay them. • Many cultures use salt in their religious rituals because it symbolizes “incorruptible purity.” The Shinto religion uses salt to purify an area. A handful of salt is even thrown into the center of the wrestling ring by Shintos to ward off wicked spirits before Sumo wrestlers begin their match. Buddhist custom calls for throwing salt over the shoulder upon entering a house after attending a funeral. This is to frighten off evil spirits that might be clinging to the homeowner’s back. Several European countries follow the tradition of throwing a handful of salt into a dead person’s coffi n before the burial in order to keep the devil away. In some cultures, a bride pours it into her shoes for luck, and parents rub it all over newborn babies. • Lots of folks believe that spilling salt will bring bad luck. This superstition may have its origins in Leonardo da Vinci’s painting of The Last Supper. Close observation shows an upset salt container at the place of Judas Iscariot, Jesus’ betrayer. The remedy for spilled salt is to toss a pinch over your left shoulder, which supposedly blinds the

devil waiting there. Those who really want to be safe also crawl under the table and come out the opposite side. The Norwegians’ superstition about spilled salt says that a person will shed as many tears as necessary to dissolve the amount spilled, while superstitious Germans believe that spilling salt brings about hostility, the result of the devil disturbing peace.• Because fruits and vegetables are nearly salt-free, vegetarians are often at risk for dietary problems. The human body needs electrolytes to function, and without salt, it runs out of electrolytes. • The familiar cylindrical salt container with the metal spout was introduced by Morton in 1911. Prior to that, salt was packaged in large cumbersome bags, which, during wet weather, wouldn’t allow the pouring of salt. Morton’s slogan “When it rains, it pours” touted its moisture-proof container. In 1914, the company introduced its famous “umbrella girl” on packaging. Her appearance has been updated fi ve times since, in 1921, 1933, 1941, 1956 and 1968. • Salt has about 14,000 different uses, including helping in household tasks. When added to one tablespoon of lemon juice, it removes rust from scissors and other household tools. Just mix into a paste and rub on the rusty area. Salt also removes coffee stains from glass coffee pots. Mix 4 teaspoons of salt with a cup of crushed ice and a tablespoon of water and swirl it around in the pot. A handful of salt thrown into the fl ames in your fi replace helps loosen chimney soot. Are you troubled by weeds and grass growing up in your patio or sidewalk bricks and blocks? Spread salt in the cracks and sprinkle with water. You can remove the odor of fi sh from your hands by rubbing them with a lemon wedge dipped in salt.• Only about 6 percent of the world’s salt fi nds its way to the table. The de-icing of streets and highways eats up another 17 percent of the production. It’s also used in the leather tanning process; in the production of paper, soaps, detergents, cosmetics, paint products, batteries, glass, ceramics and adhesives; and as a refrigerant.

The Reluctant PsychicINSTINCTS

People frequently stop me to tell me their stories of knowing something was going to happen before it did. I love to hear these stories because it means they are paying attention to the instinctive abilities that we all have. Being psychic is the same thing as being an intuitive. The words are interchangeable. Parents of young children know what this is all about. Your child can simply walk through the room and without saying anything to you at all, you will know that something’s not right. They might be having a bad day or be coming down with a cold. And as parents, we take this for granted. How often do you think of someone and shortly afterward that person calls you or show up on your doorstep? How often do you think about the phone ringing just before it rings? These are all examples of the psychic gift of intuition. The only difference between what you’re experiencing and someone who does psychic work as a job, is that person probably is very in-tuned with their intuitive gift. The volume is turned up louder for them than it might be for you. With practice. Lots of practice. And with some guidance from a professional, you can learn to turn that intuitive volume up for yourself. It’s not diffi cult. It is time consuming though. You have to be willing to work with it nearly all the time.

Those of us who use their gifts to help others have practiced and studied for years to develop their intuitive abilities and to understand what things mean when they come in. The information you’re given is frequently not what it appears to be at face value. In my case, the information comes in very loudly. It’s almost screaming at me. If my child is coming down with a cold, I might have the feeling that they are extremely ill. I believe this happens so that I pay attention to the information coming in. Once I had a dream that there was a huge spider on the wall over the crib of my newborn daughter. I woke up screaming at my husband to get the baby away from the spider. I have no doubt that I scared him badly. When he brought the baby back to me he asked me how I knew there was a spider over the crib. It was a fairly big spider as far as house spiders go, but it wasn’t horror movie sized like in my dream. I hope that you are paying attention to those little nudges that you’re given. Someone is probably trying to tell you something right now. 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, your life, and with those loved ones who have moved on.
