(He did defeat Louis in a match in 1936, though he lost a rematch in 1938.) What most people don't realize, though, is that Schmeling did not subscribe to Hitler's beliefs -- he wasn't even a member of the Nazi party. In fact, during World War II, Schmeling risked his life to save two Jewish children. • For reasons that are unclear now, the Supreme Court in 1893 declared that a plant eaten during a main course was a vegetable and one eaten afterward was a fruit. • What do King Henry VIII, science-fiction author H.G. Wells, English naturalist Charles Darwin, American author Edgar Allan Poe and composer Sergey Rachmaninoff have in common? They all married their cousins. • The 195g film "Gigi," starring Leslie Caron and Maurice Chevalier, has the distinction of having the shortest title of any film to win the Academy Award for Best Picture. • The home of sitting U.S. presidents, the White House, didn't become widely known as the White House until 1902, during Theodore Roosevelt's term in office. The building was originally called the President's Palace, but the word "palace" was deemed to be too royal- sounding, so the name was changed to the Executive Mansion. *** Thought for the Day: "We judge ourselves by what we feel capable of doing, while others judge us by what we have already done." -Henry Wadsworth Longfellow © 2010 King Features Synd., Ine, • 1- - PLOOG ELECTRIC For HOME & FARM w(Construction ..o Rewiring r '' Madison .)l Lake ' --507-243-3673 -- Go Figurel answers [9 4 I <- X :61 7 ×1 - 1 i 4 • ]51 24 Mn/DOT reminds public not to push snow onto roads The Minnesota Department of Transportation reminds the public that it is unlawful to deposit snow on or next to a public highway or street. Minnesota law and many local ordinances prohibit the plowing, blowing, shoveling or otherwise placing of snow onto public roads. This includes the ditch and right of way area along roads. Violations are considered misdemeanors, but civil -penalties also apply if the placement of snow creates a hazard, such as a slippery area, frozen rut or bump, that contributes to a motor vehicle or pedestrian crash. The civil liability can extend to both the property owner and the person who placed the snow. Improperly placing snow on or near a public road creates hazards including drainage problems, drifting, sight obstructions and unsafe access. Special-attention should be made to keep crosswalks, intersections, entrances and exits clean and unobstructed. Mn/DOT maintenance crews plow and maintain about 135,000 miles of streets and highways in Minnesota including 12,000 miles of state highways.
