Book note: The Great Minnesota Get-Together gets a great history

For as long as I can remember, the State Fair has held a special
charm for me. I remember getting all dressed up when I was very young
wearing my prettiest dress and riding the Snelling Avenue streetcar
to get to the Fair. When our children were growing up, my husband and
I made sure that we made it there every year. In fact, the Fair is
still so special to me that in 2007, I went three times. I just
couldnt get it all in on one visit.

Rendering the Psalms ecumenically

by Judy Woodward, The Park Bugle
Allyson Lomax hesitates as she tries to explain the meaning of a word
from the Psalms to a non-Hebrew speaker. The word is selah, and
Lomax's confusion is understandable. Most translations of the Bible
don't even try to use an English equivalent for the word.

Books worth buying this holiday season

by Jessica Fox-Wilson, Uptown Neighborhood News
Holiday shopping season has arrived. I recognized this when I last
went to the big mall, had to park at the top of the parking ramp,
then watch parents pile shopping bags on baby strollers, once inside.
This is not my favorite type of holiday shopping. In my family,
Christmas and Hanukah shopping certainly includes the traditional
gift cards-clothing-luxuries you wouldn't get for yourself options.
But, we also spend a lot of time selecting the perfect book for our
loved ones.

Vernon Bellecourt: The man who spoke in capital letters
http://www.tcdailyplanet.net/node/8452
by Laura Waterman Wittstock, The Alley
It is always difficult to confine a description of a great person's
life to a few words. In a sentence it could be said that Vernon
Bellecourt was a man who found fortune and left his poor background
but who then left fortune to voluntarily live the rest of his life as
a poor man.
