Public access description

The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer published by the Kelmscott Press was the last great work of William Morris, and the icon of the private press movement, the printing revival he inspired. The volume contains 87 wood-cut illustrations by Edward Burne-Jones, who was a close friend of Morris. The Gothic-inspired type was specially designed by William Morris and named 'Chaucer' after this book. The book brought together Morris's passion for the medieval period and his commitment to beautiful hand-crafted productions and was published shortly before he died. 425 copies were printed, sold at £20 each.

This Kelmscott Chaucer had an undistinguished binding when acquired by the present owner, so that he felt justified in altering its condition. He selected Dominic Riley, a distinguished British designer bookbinder for the commission. Riley studied at the London College of Printing. He has won several major bookbinding awards, and was elected a Fellow of the Designer Bookbinders in 2008. He now works and teaches in Britain and the US.

The binder conceived the work as an overt homage to Morris, basing the design upon the mirror forms of his initials: ‘W M’. Several techniques were used (including modern digital methods to produce the stamps). The final work is grand and dignified, its geometric exactness relieved with touches of naturalistic ornamentation based on the book’s border decoration, and its use of the colour red echoes the red used for the rubrics in the text (based on medieval and Renaissance practice of highlighting headings in red ink).

2nd book I chose was the 2018 sketch book ( 2018 Sketch Collection) by South Korean Artist  Kim Jung Gi I discovered his work on instagram a couple days ago and I loved the variety simplicity and the different style of his work so when i thought of an artist for this task I selected him :)    https://www.kimjunggi.net/biography-v2/   https://www.kimjunggius.com/pages/about-artist

Korean artist Kim Jung Gi was born in 1975 in the town of Goyang-Si, located in the province of Kyongki-Do South Korea.  At 19, this budding artist enrolled at a Fine Arts School, majoring in Art and Design.  He attended Dong-Eui University in Busan for three years and did his two years in the South Korean army as a part of the Special Forces Unit.  Here, he was able to memorize the array of different weapons and vehicles.

Kim’s most notable creative asset is his memory, something he has developed over a number of years.  His ability to render extremely complicated scenes near-perfectly from memory, without the aid of references, has stretched the boundaries of what many artists believed was possible.

Kim Jung Gi’s first publication – Funny Funny – was published in Young Jump magazine. He wrote a number of short stories and held exhibitions for his work that led to his teaching manhwa (Korean comic book) to various private schools and universities.  Kim collaborated with Seung-Jin Park, the writer of Tiger the Long Tail, to draw six volumes for his comic.  Kim also worked alongside French author Bernard Werber, illustrating two novels he had written – “Paradise” in 2010 and “Third Humanity” in 2013.

In 2011, Kim Jung Gi partook in the Comic Festival held in Bucheon where, for the first time ever, he drew live. In most cases, artists showcase a framed drawing or painting, but KJG decided to do something different. He placed paper up on three walls around his table and began drawing.

Superani CEO Hyun Jin Kim videoed and posted the entire process on YouTube and, as some videos tend to do, went viral. This led to the invitation to different worldwide events.  In recent years, he has accepted invitations to perform in France, America, all around Asia and now in Japan for his first show simply titled “Drawing Exhibition”.

Kim has six sketchbooks in print, which equate to about 4,500 pages’ worth of drawings in a span of 12 years. He also collaborated with the legendary Japanese artist Katsuya Terada in 2017.  The pair put together an amazing sketchbook of various drawings, showing off their talents.

He’s worked in various industries – movies, music, and government. Kim put together a feature exhibition in Cheongwadae” the Republic of Korea’s president’s official workplace and residence.  He was also hired by Korean Hip-Hop artist Drunken Tiger to create the album cover.

He holds the record for “Longest drawing by an individual” in the Guinness World Records book.

https://www.kimjunggius.com/collections/frontpage/products/2018-sketch-collection

I like both works because to me they are quite similar william morris working on Chaucer is legendary in itself the level of attention to detail is extraordinary and the colour pallette is simple and the typography is grand and archaic in nature a level of excellence rarely seen nowadays.Kim’s work is highly skilled and varied a comic book style but still unique to him I love black and white simplicity as well as colour however I love the detail and excellence shown in both works.To me skill is important to do one’s best and show originality whilst doing so.Clarity,skill and originality are demonstrated here and that is why I was drawn to both artists.

St. Louis Park, a suburb of Minneapolis, voted to not start city council meetings with the Pledge of Allegiance, and people are losing their freaking minds. 

Telling, though, that in this radio report exactly zero of the “How DARE they not start all meetings with a loyalty oath” folks are actually from St. Louis Park, and at least one person quoted is from Rochester, an entire hour and a half drive away in good traffic.

Also, Sheri Auclair, a resident of Wayzata, a neighboring town, who therefore will not be affected by this in any way, shape, or form, is quoted in the article as saying, “If you don't want to recite it, then go back to the country that you came from and live under the conditions that you left.”

What’s not in the text, but is in the accompanying audio, is the MPR reporter then asking, “Do you think it’s possible that someone who isn’t an immigrant brought the complaint [against the pledge]?”

“If someone who isn’t an immigrant brought a complaint, I have a country I can send them to,” she responds, with vitriol.

Again, this is someone who does not live in St. Louis Park.

At the Old Haunted House

Helen Ketteman

Description

At the old haunted house

In a room with no sun

Lived a warty green witch

And her wee witchy one.

There are all kinds of creatures in the house: a big Ma monster and her wee monsters two, a scrawny black cat and her wee kittens three, a green Pa goblin and his wee goblins four, and more! Count along as the creatures prepare for the Halloween Fright. The text, written in the pattern of the popular poem “Over in the Meadow,” makes reading aloud fun, while the cinematic illustrations set the scene for an unforgettable romp through the old haunted house. Trick or treat!

From School Library Journal

K-Gr 2—An old haunted house is home to an assortment of creatures from "a warty green witch and her wee witchy one" to goblins, vampires, bats, black cats, werewolves, spiders, and more. Written in the pattern of the popular poem "Over in the Meadow," each page starts with the repeated phrase "At the old haunted house" and, on each page, the creatures increase in number from one to ten. The rhyme ends with three trick-or-treaters arriving and a Halloween fright party, which the creatures have been preparing for, bursting forth in celebration. The vibrant painted illustrations are dark, goofy, and mildly spooky. The text is simple rhyme with the creatures practicing spells, making strange noises, stirring brews, weaving webs, and other Halloween activities. Although the rhyme is occasionally awkward, this title will be in demand at the holiday and beyond. A rousing storyhour selection.—Paula Huddy, The Blake School-Highcroft Campus, Wayzata, MN

[highschoolharrier]

Mark Popp is the the head coach of the boys team at Wayzata High School, and NXN qualifying team from a year ago.  Wayzata has been one of the most consistent teams in the country during the NXN era, qualifying 8 times.

High School Harrier:  Entering the season we have your boys ranked #5 in the nation in the pre-season rankings.  Do you think your boys are well poised to reach that height this year?

Mark Popp:  With last year’s squad, we had a great chance to be top 6 or 7 at NXN, but did not quite put together the race we needed and ended up 10th.  Even though we lost 3 of 7, this year’s team is probably more talented and definitely more experienced.  If we can stay healthy and focused, I would not rule anything out.

HSH: Last year was your second as head coach at Wayzata after many years under the amazing Bill Miles.  What was it like taking over the program and what early coaching lessons did you learn?

MP: The transition over the last two years has been really smooth.  We have had good crops of seniors coming through; I have extremely competent and helpful assistant coaches; and Bill has done his best to help out as needed.  I also have my dad (Jerry Popp, Willmar) to give me guidance if needed.  I grew up running in his program and saw first-hand for many years how he kept his teams motivated and focused.  And I also coached with Bill for 7 years, where I learned a lot of lessons about how to deal with athletes and parents.  Through all of that, I felt pretty prepared going into my first few years as the head coach.

HSH: Despite being a second year coach last year, you still coached your squad to an NXN qualifying berth.  What do you think about Wayzata allows for the consistency of 8 NXN qualifications in program history?

MP:  We have a number (around 100 at the HS) of hardworking kids, a supportive system in place at Wayzata High School, and parents who are willing to do whatever they can to support their kids. That, coupled with strong assistants, volunteers, and a great feeder program mean that we are going to be pretty good year in and year out. The conference and section that we compete in are also extremely tough—they have Eden Prairie, Edina, Hopkins, and Minneapolis Washburn, which have all had national caliber teams at least once in the last seven years.  Because the Minnesota High School League makes no effort at creating competitive balance with its Sectional alignment, we need to be at the top of our game every year to even make it to the State Meet.

HSH:  Does your team have any traditions or events that they look forward to each season?

MP: St. John’s games: we break our large team into mini-teams and have different games and contests over the course of the year.

Marshfield: This is an overnight trip into Wisconsin for our top group—we always take a team photo on an out-of-service tank on the way home.

Alumni Meet:  We usually have 60 alumni return at the end of our first practice.  We run a 2-mile course on some of our soccer fields and through the woods where our team built and maintains woodchip trails.

HSH:  What regular season meet is your team looking forward to the most?

MP:  The Roy Griak is a huge invitational hosted by the University of Minnesota.  It regularly attracts the best teams in MN and a number of quality out-of-state teams.  Last year, Claremont (CA) gave us a really good run there.  The Gold race has 450-500 kids in it, so it mimics the close quarters of NXR and NXN—that gives our kids some experience running in a crowded and talented field.  Because our high school league does not allow us to travel beyond bordering states, this is our best chance to go up against top-flight competition from the Midwest and sometimes the country.  

HSH:  Do you have any athletes you think are ready to have a breakout season?

MP:  Khalid Hussein is healthy again, and should be ready to make some noise on the national scene. If we can get him 10-12 quality weeks of training, he is going to be as good as anyone we have ever had.  Our 2-7 runners are all pretty close right now—but I could really see any or all of them making a leap this year at the state level—one of our team goals is to put 7 in the top 25 at the state meet. Our fourth returner comes back ranked in the 10th in the state.

HSH:  What does a typical training week look like for your top upperclassmen?

MP:  45-60 miles; 2-3 harder workouts hitting different systems; 2 lifting sessions; 1 yoga session.  Depending on the week / mileage, guys might take Sunday off.

HSH:  I am an incoming freshman.  What does my training and racing schedule look like for the fall?

MP: Unless you are really talented, you will be in our JV training group (usually 70-90 guys).  Your mileage will likely peak somewhere between 35-45, and you will race most weekends.  If you are in the top 45 guys on the team, there is a good chance you can earn a place on the NXR bus in early November, which is a trip organized by our club coach.

HSH:  What do you think is the most important aspect of training for the high school athlete?

MP:  Keeping things in perspective.  Ideally, these young men are going to be training and racing for years to come.  We want to make sure that their body can do that. Most decisions we make involving our athlete hinges on what is best for them long term.  That can relate to their weekly mileage, individual workouts, and especially injury scares.  The biggest failure I can have is a coach is to make a mistake related to their training or racing that leads to injury.  Obviously, injuries and setbacks are always going to be a part of distance running, but we try to avoid those at all costs.  I often explain to our highly motivated athletes that taking a day or two now is better than a week or two (or longer) later.

HSH:  How much does the presence of NXN affect your training plan and/or your racing schedule?

MP:  Our State Meet has to be our focus as a program, so our training builds toward having a great race in early November.  NXR is the following weekend, and the boys have 3-4 weeks left until NXN if they are fortunate enough to qualify.  That means they have 6-7 weeks (Sections, State, NXR, NXN) where they need to be sharp.  Our club coach, Kraig Lungstrom, does well to try to make sure that happens.  It is doable, but hard to hold that edge from late October and on.  I would prefer having a schedule like California or even the Southwest, where the high-stakes meets are all lumped together, but it is what it is.

Racing schedule: our philosophy is to not be overworked and over raced at the end of the year.  If our boys make NXN, they will only race 9 5ks on the season.  Two years ago, when Jaret Carpenter finished 4th for us, he raced four or five fewer times than some of his competitors.

HSH:  What is one of your go-to workouts and why do you do it?

MP:  We try to hit multiple training systems throughout the year; and while doing so, we try to switch up the format of the workouts to keep them fresh.  We do a lot of cruise intervals in various formats (8x1k, 5x5’, 2x10’ + 200s) with as little as 5:1 recovery.  

HSH:  How many athletes are on your team and how do you choose who makes the squad?

MP:  We typically have around 100 HS athletes and 60-70 middle school athletes.  In the last five years, we have started doing a 2-mile time trial as a “tryout” at the start of the year.  As long as 11th and 12th grade athletes can show improvement over the previous year (given that they had no significant injuries or illnesses over the summer), they are on the team.  That has definitely cut into our overall numbers, but it has also helped us avoid some potential headaches. We will take all 9th and 10th graders, regardless of ability and experience.

HSH: For those of us who aren't from MN, what is the state qualifying process?

MP:  We have Section Meets (Regionals) about 10 days out from State.  A team needs to finish in the top two to advance to State (8 Sections – 16 teams).  Individuals can also advance.

HSH:  How do you help build the community/camaraderie part of your program?

MP:  With a large team, it is a focus of mine to make sure that everyone feels like part of the same team.  A core principle our team has is that our success or failure from Varsity to the Junior High, from the top kid to the last kid, is everyone’s success and failure. The kids need to buy into that, but it takes more than just saying it.  So we incorporate workouts where we might have 110 guys doing 400s on the track; we have inter-team contests like home run hitting, XC trivia, and Frisbee toss; we have full-team carb-ups organized by some of our Booster reps; and we have added a meet or two that everyone on the team goes to.  All of these things make them invested not just in themselves, but in each other. A highlight from the last few years has been seeing our top Varsity kids sprint around the Willmar Invite course to cheer on the JV and JH runners later in the day.  

HSH:  What advice would you have for an aspiring national class coach?

MP:  My advice is probably more from what I have observed, as I inherited a national-class program. Recruit.  Be excited / passionate.  Hold kids to a high standard.

Stolen Prey

Lucas Davenport has seen many terrible murder scenes. This is one of the worst. In the small Minnesota town of Wayzata, an entire family has been killed husband, wife, two daughters, dogs. There’s something about the scene that pokes at Lucas’s cop instincts it looks an awful lot like the kind of scorched-earth retribution he’s seen in drug killings sometimes. But this is a seriously upscale…
