HISTORICAL NOTEBOOK by Frank Passic Albion Historian

DONNA MONTRAN: ALBION’S BATHING BEAUTY Occasionally we come across some obscure information that opens up a new research project about Albion history. Albion has had numerous persons who were born here, but became famous elsewhere. This week we’d like to feature one of them: actor, dancer, and “bathing beauty” Donna Montran (1893-1976). Madonna “Donna” Montran was born in Albion on February 20, 1893, the daughter of John F. and Ida (Barber) Montran. Her maternal grandparents were Franklin and Sarah (Blackhurst) Barber. Franklin was a painter and operated a paint shop on E. Cass St. just east of the “White Mill.” Madonna’s mother Ida was married several times

during her lifetime and left Albion around 1897, raising Madonna in various locations. Madonna a ended the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto, Canada and learned to sing and play the piano. Her expertise landed her a job in a music store where she played the pianos in the store window, thus helping to sell the instruments. Following that she began playing the accompaniment music for the silent movies in Rochester, N.Y. In 1914 she shortened her name to “Donna” and moved to California, where she became a “bathing beauty” for noted ﬁlm director Mack Senne . She would continue that role in the future. It was during this period in

1915 that Donna appeared (uncredited) as one of the “Belles of 1861” in the epic silent-film “Birth of a Nation” by D. W. Griffith. This film was released in February, 1915, and was placed on the National Film Registry in 1992. It is three hours, fifteen minutes long. As part of a publicity stunt to promote the film, Donna flew in a Biplane over Revere Beach in Boston on July 22, 1915. She dropped 200 pennants that had the film’s promotional artwork on it, to waiting spectators below. Thirty-five of the pennants contained free tickets to the show. It was back to being a “bathing beauty” in 1916, when Donna won a competition in Madison Square Garden, five years before the “Miss America” pageants began. Her beauty was at its prime, for she successfully modeled for the cover of the sheet music “In the Heart of a Fool” published in 1919. She also sang for the recording of that song. It contains those memorable lyrics, “In the heart of a fool that is broken, and tossed like a ship at sea, there’s a story old, that’s never been told, of the wreck you’ve made of me.” Touching, isn’t it? Also in 1919 she began her

live stage acting career in the cast of the shows “Bonnets,” and “Chin Chin.” In 1920 and 1921 she starred in the vaudeville show “California Bathing Girls.” She continued to perform in various acts throughout the 1920s, and changed her stage name to Donna Darling. When the Great Depression hit in late 1929, work dried up and Donna moved to various places over the next two decades, ﬁnally se ling in Minneapolis, Minnesota. She went through several marriages as her mother had done, and during the 1950s was working as a seamstress there in Minneapolis. Donna passed away on September 14, 1976 in Minneapolis. At her request, her body was donated to the University of Minnesota for their medical cadaver program. She was subsequently cremated in 1979, and her cremains were interred in Lakewood Cemetery (Minneapolis) in the University of Minnesota Anatomy Bequest Program gravesite. From our Historical Notebook this week we present the cover of the sheet-music “In the Heart of a Fool,” picturing Donna Montran on the cover. Original copies are available

on E-bay today. Special thanks to Doe Massino on Facebook for alerting me about Donna. Biographical information

comes from the research of Don Taylor, a grandson of Donna whose ﬁndings are published on the internet.

Calhoun County included in hepatitis outbreak The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services now includes Calhoun County as part of the ongoing Southeast Michigan Hepatitis A outbreak. This change in status reﬂects updated surveillance and enhances coordination to prevent hepatitis A transmission. Hepatitis A is a serious, highly contagious liver disease caused by the hepatitis A virus. Although hepatitis A is often transmitted through food or water contaminated with feces, no common sources of food, beverages, or drugs have been identiﬁed as a potential source of infection with the Southeast Michigan outbreak. Transmission appears to be through direct personto-person spread and illicit drug use. Those with history of injection and non-injection drug use, homelessness or transient housing, and incarceration are thought to be at greater risk in this outbreak se ing. Notably, this outbreak has had a high hospitalization rate. Since Aug. 1, 2016, according to the MDHHS today, 658 Hepatitis A cases resulting in 539 hospitalizations (81.9 percent) and 22 deaths have been reported in Southeast Michigan. The best ways to help prevent hepatitis A are getting vaccinated and good hand washing. Hepatitis A vaccine is recommended as a part of the routine childhood vaccination schedule, but most adults have not been vaccinated. The following groups are the highest risk to get hepatitis A and are recommended to receive the hepatitis A vaccine: Persons who: • are homeless or in transient living, • are incarcerated, • use/have used injection and non-injection illegal drugs, • have close contact, care for, or live with someone who has hepatitis A, • have sex with someone with hepatitis A, • travelers to countries with high or medium rates of hepatitis A, • have a chronic liver disease, such as cirrhosis, hepatitis B, or hepatitis C, • persons who have clotting factor disorders, or per-

sons who • work with the high risk populations listed above (e.g., healthcare workers, jail staﬀ, etc.), • Men who have sex with men. • Food handlers: Food handlers are not inherently at higher risk for getting hepatitis A. However, given food handlers serve large numbers of people and Hepatitis A can be spread through contaminated food or water, food handlers are recommended to be vaccinated. High risk residents, as identiﬁed above, who have health insurance and would like to be vaccinated, should contact their healthcare provider. High risk residents that do not have insurance should contact the Calhoun County Public Health Department for vaccination options. “Very small amounts of stool on people, objects, surfaces, or in food that is then consumed can put anyone at risk for this disease. Washing your hands with soap and ge ing vaccinated dramatically decreases one’s risk of ge ing Hepatitis A” said Michelle Thorne, CCPHD’s personal health manager. ”Hepatitis A can range from a mild illness lasting a few weeks to a serious illness

lasting several months. Illness generally occurs two to six weeks after exposure to the hepatitis A virus. Symptoms include fatigue, fever, loss of appetite, abdominal pain, yellow skin (jaundice), dark urine, and pale stool. Hepatitis A can be transmitted up to two weeks before the onset of symptoms.” People who believe they have been exposed to hepatitis A or who have symptoms should contact their healthcare provider immediately. Anyone who wants to be vaccinated should contact their healthcare provider or the Calhoun County Public Health Department at 269969-6363. If your organization is interested in hosting a vaccination clinic, contact the health department for more information. The health department will be extending its clinical hours. For up-todate vaccination information or for health department clinic hours, visit www.calhouncountymi.gov/publichealth For more information about hepatitis A, please visit h ps://www.cdc.gov/ hepatitis/hav/ or the www. calhouncountymi.gov.

With arctic temperatures impacting the entire state until later this week, the Michigan State Police, Emergency Management and Homeland Security Division (MSP/ EMHSD) is encouraging Michigan residents and visitors to be extra cautious when going out in the extreme cold. “These arctic blasts can create hazardous situations,” said Capt. Chris A. Kelenske, Deputy State Director of Emergency Management and Homeland Security and commander of the MSP/ EMHSD. “Residents are encouraged to monitor local weather reports and follow the appropriate steps to stay safe during these extremely cold and potentially lifethreatening temperatures.” The National Weather Service is forecasting wind chills to cause temperatures to fall below zero at times through the remainder of the week. Exposure to these temperatures could potentially cause frostbite and hypothermia, as well as create hazardous driving conditions. To stay safe during cold weather: • Stay indoors if possible. If you must go outside, wear protective gear, such as hats, mi ens, gloves, scarf and a warm coat. • Avoid overexertion when shoveling heavy snow, pushing a car, or walking in deep snow. Take breaks frequently. • Watch for signs of frostbite, which include loss of feeling or pale appearance of ﬁngers, toes or face. • Watch for signs of hypothermia, which include uncontrollable shivering, memory loss, drowsiness and exhaustion. • Understand the hazards of wind chill. As wind speed increases, heat is carried away from a person’s body more rapidly and could lead to severe hypothermia. • Remove clothing if it gets

damp or wet. Wet clothing can make you more prone to hypothermia. • Weatherproof doors and windows to trap heat inside your home. • Check heating units. Poorly operating or damaged heating units can release carbon monoxide gas. Test carbon monoxide detectors for proper operation and ba ery life. • Check on family, friends and neighbors who are at risk and may need additional assistance. • Watch pets closely and keep them indoors when possible. Animals can suﬀer from hypothermia, frostbite and other cold weather injuries. • Minimize travel. If travel is necessary, keep a full tank of gas and an emergency preparedness kit in your vehicle. Put warm clothing, such as gloves, blankets and hats, in your kit in case you become stranded. Michigan weather is unpredictable any time of year, but especially during the winter months. If you are stranded, do not leave your vehicle. Stay with the vehicle and wait for help. Motorists are encouraged to check travel conditions and weather reports before driving at www.michigan. gov/roadconditions. Major road closures can be found at www.michigan.gov/drive. The MSP/EMHSD asks that you tune into local news and/or view these websites rather than calling your local MSP post or 911 for travel conditions. Residents who need assistance or guidance during the extreme cold are encouraged to call 211.

Towing & Auto Repair

Secretary of State Ruth Johnson today made the following statement about Driver Responsibility Fees as lawmakers return from winter break next week. “Michigan residents have waited long enough for relief from these burdensome fees that are hurting families and job growth across the state,” Johnson said. “I encourage House and Senate members to work together with the governor to reach a deal right away to forgive the fees. Driver Responsibility Fees are not enforcing traﬃc safety. Because of this automatic double-penalty, too many Michigan residents have lost their licenses because of Driver Responsibility Fees. They can’t take their kids to school or get to work, disrupting their families and harming local businesses who can’t ﬁnd

MDOT working to reduce wrong-way drivers on interstates January 8, 2018 -- Engineers in the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) Metro Region are focusing on measures to reduce the frequency of wrong-way driving incidents on the state’s freeways in southeast Michigan with help from the Michigan State Police (MSP) and the Southeast Michigan Transportation Operations Center (SEMTOC). MDOT engineers review incidents and try to understand how drivers end up going the wrong way on freeways. MDOT and MSP are working together closely to identify and ultimately stop wrong-way incidents on freeways. This includes working together to notify motorists during active wrong-way driver situations by posting alerts on roadside message signs. MDOT also is placing wrong-way arrow markings on freeway ramps, and has installed detection cameras for the earliest possible alerts of wrong-way drivers.

The goal is to reduce the number of wrong-way driving incidents that occur between July 1, 2017, and June 30, 2018, by 20 percent compared to the previous year. MDOT Metro Region Traffic Safety Engineer Josh Carey and MSP Special Enforcement Section Commander Lt. Michael A. Shaw discuss wrongway drivers and safety improvements in a video on MDOT’s YouTube channel: h ps://youtu.be/K1v0b45c2ok. “Because of the unpredictability of wrong-way crashes, the MDOT SEMTOC has been tracking reports of wrong-way drivers in an effort to identify frequent locations of wrong-way entry, along with deploying messages when wrong-way drivers are reported,” said MDOT Metro Region Traffic Safety Engineer Josh Carey. “These messages on the freeway digital message signs alert the drivers who are traveling in the correct direction of the possible wrong-way driver

prevent drivers from entering the freeway in the wrong direction. “MDOT has instituted a protocol to alert motorists on the electronic signs that there’s someone going the wrong way, so other drivers can be alerted,” MSP Lt. Mike Shaw said. “We don’t catch all wrong-way drivers during an event, but when you get a crash with a wrong-way driver, it’s usually a fatal because of the speed. We’ve had eight fatalities in the last ﬁve years.” More improvements and enhancements will be included in future MDOT projects to modernize or reconstruct interchanges.

ahead.” With the help of MSP and SEMTOC, locations of confirmed wrong-way drivers are recorded, including the reported locations and entry points. Incidents are then reviewed in the field by a diverse team of engineers to determine what countermeasures, if any, are appropriate. Thus far, MDOT has used several methods to help alert wrong-way drivers, including a lane separator system composed of plastic curb and reflective panels, which physically blocks the wrongway movement. Enhanced red delineation and additional pavement markings also help

As secretary of state, she has pushed for repealing the Driver Responsibility Fee law, successfully advocating that lawmakers eliminate the most common fees in 2011, create a community service option for certain fees in 2015 and begin phasing out all fees. Driver Responsibility Fees are an additional fee automatically charged for various traffic violations, including non-moving violations, on top of regular traffic citation fines and court costs. Unlike traditional court fines and fees in which a judge can take into consideration a driver’s ability to pay and order alternatives, such as payment plans or community service in lieu of payment, the

From the Editors of E/The Environmental Magazine

Dear EarthTalk: I’ve been having trouble sleeping and my doctor suggested that indoor air pollution could be a contributing factor. Do you have any tips for how to improve my home’s air quality without breaking the bank? - Jennifer Abromovitch, Putney, VT The key to a healthy indoor environment is clean air, but many of the finishes and furniture in a typical home or office off-gas pollutants that can compromise air quality. While opening a window might help, it also could make ma ers worse by introducing auto exhaust and other noxious emissions

in. So, what’s a clean air lover to do about keeping the indoor environment safe? For starters, it can’t hurt to change the filters on your furnace and air conditioner(s) on a regular, scheduled basis. Manufacturers recommend changing out furnace filters every three months, but mileage may vary depending on square footage and other factors. (When you install a new filter, write the date on it when it should be changed to keep yourself honest.) Also, ge ing your HVAC air ducts cleaned once every few years—or more frequently if you have pets or lots of people using the space in question. Another way to help filter your indoor air is the all-natural way: with house plants. While humans have always had a special relationship with the plants around them, it wasn’t until NASA published research in the 1980s that we knew just what an important role house plants could play in ridding indoor environments of noxious chemical

pollutants. Plants scrub particulates from the air while taking in carbon dioxide and processing it into oxygen, thereby creating more clean air for us to breathe. Garden mums, spider plants, dracaenas, ficus, peace lilies, Boston ferns, snake plants and bamboo palms are great choices given their especially powerful air purifying abilities. Yet another relatively easy fix would be to purchase an air purifier that plugs into the wall and uses carbon filtration or other methods for filtering contaminants out of the indoor environment. The Coway Mighty and Winix 55002 share top rankings from leading consumer review service, Wirecu er, while the Dyson Pure Hot+Cool Link gets kudos for great air cleaning with style. If you really want to go all out, think about repainting interior walls with paint formulations that use li le or no volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) that have been linked to respiratory problems, headaches, nau-

sea, dizziness and fatigue, among other health worries. AFM Safecoat is the industry leader in low- and no-VOC paints and finishes, but the big players like Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore now also have healthier formulations for a quickly increasing number of eco-conscious home improvement customers. Another easy albeit more costly way to green up your indoor environment would be to get rid of those old couches, ma resses and other furniture which were required by law to contain flame retardant chemicals before we knew how harmful they could be to our indoor environment and health. Now that California has mandated that new furniture products cannot contain these noxious chemicals, more and more manufacturers (including Ikea and Po ery Barn) are starting to phase them out, so it’s a great time to replace that old ma ress with a new one that won’t off-gas carcinogens every time you plop down onto it.

New Year, New Family Habits Simple ideas to make healthy eating easier

(Family Features) When your family is transitioning back into a regular routine in the new year, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the perfect time to recommit to healthy eating habits throughout the day. Ge ing the whole family on board may be easier than you think - just keep the focus on ďŹ&#x201A;avor and fun. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re short on ideas to jumpstart be er family eating, try these tips: Keep it simple. Busy families often rely on the convenience of boxed meals, but you can get the same easy, delicious meal in a much healthier way. Everything cooks in one pot for easy clean-up, and this Cheeseburger Mac recipe swaps ground beef for leaner ground turkey. Not only is this an easy weeknight dinner, but leftovers can be packed in a thermos for lunch on chilly days. Have fun. Try using creative shapes, textures and colors to make mealtime and lunchboxes more fun. Use cookies cutters to easily create butterflies, flowers, dinosaurs and more. Allow your kids to get

involved in packing their own lunchboxes or helping with a meal. If your kids have a love of space or are learning about it in school, this bento box is deďŹ nitely out of this world. Grapes create the dark backdrop while Swiss cheese is the perfect place for a moon landing. Clementine crescent moons and mini sweet pepper planet rings round out the meal. Make a family promise. To keep the momentum going, rely on a resource like the Power Your Lunchbox Promise website, which oďŹ&#x20AC;ers everything from healthy lunchbox ideas to after-school snacks and dinners. All meal ideas have been approved by a registered dietitian, meet USDA guidelines and are kid-friendly. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more, for every Power Your Lunchbox Promise made on the website, health-conscious companies supporting the initiative will make a $1 donation to Feeding Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s programs that support families and children.
