CREATURE NEEDS: Milkweed Books and the University of Minnesota Press present contributors reading from “Creature Needs: Writers Respond to the Science of Animal Conservation,” a new anthology that bridges the worlds of literature and science. Edited by Christopher Kondrich, Lucy Spelman and Susan Tacent, the collection features original works from acclaimed poets and writers. Readers include Claire Wahmanholm, Charles Baxter, Kimberly Blaeser and Sean Hill, after which Wahmanholm will host a panel discussion about craft and art activism for creature conservation. The book is a collaboration with Creature Conserve, a nonprofit started by veterinary zoologist Spelman. Each of the writers was assigned an American animal species whose population is threatened or endangered and provided with a recent journal article that addresses the problems facing their assigned species and the solutions that require more public engagement and support. The contributions are organized into six sections representing six things all creatures need to survive: air, food, water, shelter, room to move and companionship. 6 p.m. Thursday, Open Book, 1011 Washington Ave. S., Mpls. Free; attendees are encouraged to register in advance at milkweed.org/events.

Early on the morning of Dec. 7, 1941, the battleship USS Ward was patrolling the waters around the entrance to Pearl Harbor in Hawaii.
When another American vessel spotted a periscope peeking out of the waves nearby, the Ward and its 115 sailors — at least 85 of whom were St. Paulites — motored over to investigate.
The periscope belonged to a miniature Japanese submarine operated by a two-man crew. When it reappeared, the Ward’s skipper ordered his men to open fire.
Two of the ship’s 4-inch deck guns responded with a volley of explosive shells weighing more than 30 pounds apiece. A round from Gun No. 3 smashed through the mini-sub’s conning tower, sinking the vessel.
The men of the Ward didn’t yet realize it, but they had just fired the first American shots of World War II. Japanese warplanes began bombing Pearl Harbor about an hour later.
The gun that fired that fateful shot is now proudly displayed on the Minnesota State Capitol Mall in St. Paul. But lately it has fallen into disrepair, plagued by rust and peeling paint.
Randal Dietrich, executive director of the Minnesota Military & Veterans Museum, submitted a request in August to the Capitol Area Architectural and Planning Board to move the gun to his institution at Camp Ripley in Little Falls.
The 49-year-old museum, which will open a new 40,000-square-foot facility in summer 2026, wants to restore Gun No. 3 and house it in a planned World War II gallery, safe from the elements.
“It’s a priceless World War II artifact,” Dietrich said. “I think it’s incumbent upon us to act, to make sure that gun and what it represents is not lost to time.”
The CAAP Board will vote on whether to consider Dietrich’s request at its next meeting on March 24, said Erik Dahl, the board’s executive secretary. Members of the public will then have 30 days to comment on whether the gun should be moved. A final decision from the board is likely sometime this summer.
Seven decades of wear and tear

The gun has been mounted just west of the Veterans Services Building since 1958, when it was loaned to the state by the U.S. Navy at the urging of U.S. Sen. Hubert Humphrey and members of the First Shot Veterans Club, which Kinderman and his Ward shipmates formed after the war.
The 11,000-pound piece of ordnance was carefully strapped into a C-119 “Flying Boxcar” transport plane for the trip to Minnesota from Washington, D.C., where it was on display at the Washington Navy Yard, according to a Pioneer Press article published at the time.
The gun was so heavy that the plane couldn’t carry enough fuel for the whole trip and had to make a pit stop at an Air Force base in Illinois.
All nine members of the crew that operated Gun No. 3 were in attendance when it was unveiled that May.
Ward veterans made annual pilgrimages to the gun on the anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attack. Those gatherings became smaller and smaller with the passing decades, until none was known to be left alive.
The years have also taken a toll on the gun itself. The Minnesota Department of Administration, which is responsible for the gun’s maintenance, has no dedicated budget for its upkeep.
The last restoration work the department undertook was in 2020, when it used leftover funds from the renovation of the Capitol to clean and paint the gun, Assistant Commissioner Curtis Yoakum said. But it has already begun to show its age again.
A memo prepared by CAAP Board staffers reported that “exposure to elements will continue to degrade this valued piece of history. The lack of dedicated maintenance funds for an outdoor memorial will inevitably result in continued degradation.”

Dietrich and his organization have spent several months building their case for removing Gun No. 3 from the Capitol Mall.
In February 2024, the museum hired Paul Storch, a professional objects conservator, to assess its condition. He found the gun was suffering from “continued metal loss and disfigurement,” and recommended it be stored indoors.
Storch was one of several people to speak in favor of advancing Dietrich’s proposal during an initial public comment hearing before the CAAP Board in December. No one spoke in opposition.
To pay for the move, the museum secured a $275,000 grant last year from the Legacy Committee of the Minnesota Legislature. The museum would cover any additional expenses itself.
In addition to seeking the approval of the CAAP Board, Dietrich also had to submit an application to the Navy — which still owns the gun — to have the loan agreement transferred from the state of Minnesota to his museum. This application was recently approved, he said.
The museum is no stranger to acquiring massive pieces of military history and integrating them into its collection. In 2022, it acquired the conning tower and rudder of the USS Minneapolis St. Paul submarine, which will be displayed outside its new facility.
Its plans for the Ward gun call for an ambitious exhibit that tells the story of the men who served on the ship, many of whom have donated artifacts to the museum over the years.
“We’ll be able to experience this gun comfortably in any weather, and be surrounded by the images and voices of the Minnesotans who served aboard the Ward and took that decisive action on Dec. 7,” Dietrich said.
From Minnesota to Oahu

The crew of the Ward comprised primarily Naval reservists from St. Paul, many of whom likely believed a training cruise on the Great Lakes was the closest they would get to the open ocean.
But in late 1940, the secretary of the Navy activated all reserve units and placed them on standby. Soon 85 St. Paulites of the 47th Naval Reserve Division were boarding a train at Union Depot bound for California.
“Hell, I thought when I joined the reserves that I’d be on submarine patrol on the Upper Mississippi,” St. Paulite Basil Grindall told the Pioneer Press in 1986. “Then — bang! — they put us on active duty. If you wanted to see a bunch of men cry, you should have been on that train out of St. Paul.”
Assigned to the Ward, an antique battleship commissioned during the First World War, these Midwesterners struggled to get their sea legs on the voyage from San Francisco to the Hawaiian Island of Oahu, where they were to be stationed at Pearl Harbor.
Richard Thill, who worked in the ship’s galley, remembered having little to do at first.
“We weren’t making any meals because nobody would eat ’em,” Thill said in 2016. “You heaved all over the place.”
After making history at Pearl Harbor that December, the Ward was refitted as a transport ship and saw action across the Pacific Theater, including at Guadalcanal, the Solomon Islands and New Guinea.
Some of the St. Paulites of the ship’s original crew were still aboard on the third anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor — Dec. 7, 1944 — when the pilot of a damaged Japanese fighter plane flew directly into her midsection and sank her.

After 36 years in the wedding cake business, David Mess said he’s honored to be the preferred vendor at the Como Park Zoo and Conservatory, the downtown Intercontinental Hotel, the University Club on Summit Avenue and other reception sites around St. Paul. What’s a lot less fun? Cracking the ceiling on the price of eggs.
Switching up fixed prices within negotiated contracts isn’t something that happens on the fly, so when the cost of bakery staples like eggs and chocolate goes up, as they both have in recent months, Mess more often than not simply eats the added expense, so to speak. Buffeted by the record high cost of eggs in particular, he finally raised his cake prices on Jan. 1.
“It’s kind of a bummer when you’re a baker,” said Mess, whose long-standing Buttercream Cakes and Desserts business is based on Transfer Road in St. Paul. “All those prices have been pre-determined, so the reception sites, they’re not going to do a surcharge on it.”
“We did do a price adjustment right after New Year’s, and that’s the only thing we can do,” he added. “For vendors like me, and restaurants that are heavy in the breakfast business, it’s kind of a tough one. If the client is spending $900 on a wedding cake, we’re not really in the business of raising the price beyond that. It’s not like ordering two eggs over easy and a side of sausage at a cafe.”
Egg-flation
If there were a word for whiplash related to egg prices, economists, retailers and perhaps most of all consumers would be using it — a lot. Whether or not you’ll find it in the dictionary, egg-flation is real — the national average price of a carton of a dozen large Grade A eggs reached an all-time high in January of $4.95, nearly double what it was a year ago at this time, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
A whole new era has hatched for grocery shoppers, bakeries, restaurants and others feeling a bit egg-xploited by the rising cost of an American staple. Together with the skyrocketing cost of orange juice, coffee and chocolate — blame a citrus tree disease, hurricanes and other climate impacts — and breakfast is about to get a whole lot more expensive.
The problem?
At least 9% of the U.S. egg-laying flock has been lost to the H5N1 avian influenza virus since its mid-October surge alone, and a major supply state — California — has lost an estimated 90% of its in-state production. The avian flu recently spread into three states that account for as much as one-third of U.S. egg production — Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania — and spring waterfowl migrations are just around the corner, threatening to spread the virus to even more farms.
Some predict that egg shortages are likely to get worse before they get better.
“We’re going through one of the worst outbreaks in history, if not the worst outbreak in history,” said Brian Moscogiuri, a vice president with Eggs Unlimited in Irvine, Calif., one of the largest suppliers of eggs in the nation. “Since the middle of October, we lost more than 42 million egg-laying hens.”
No drop in demand
Despite the shortage, there’s been no drop in demand, which has fed into higher pricing. Eggs are what’s known as an “inelastic commodity,” meaning consumers may switch up brands but they’ll continue to buy them when prices surge. If anything, “concerns around shortages have created a little bit of panic buying,” Moscogiuri said.

At Key’s Cafe and Bakery, co-owner Amy Hunn has responded by dropping key lime pie from her offerings at all nine Twin Cities locations for the time being, given that a batch of pies requires 60 egg yolks. She’s in the process of printing menus with adjusted food prices, and posting a sign in each site’s doorway explaining that each egg will now carry a 50 cent surcharge.
“Our food provider foresees this continuing for the next months, if not going into 2026,” Hunn said. “They do free printing for us and they said, ‘Adjust your prices.’ … It’s not something we want to do, but we have to make sure we’re not putting ourselves in the ground.”
Egg lovers are getting creative. A private company — RentTheChicken.com — offers to connect consumers across the country to suppliers that rent out laying hens and portable coops, with prices ranging from about $500 to $1,000 for a seven-month rental.
Some hoped a shift in the political winds would topple egg-flation, but the avian flu doesn’t care about who you voted for at the ballot. Egg prices have actually spiked rapidly since the November election, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture predicts prices could continue to rise as much as 20% over the course of 2025.
“Your local independent grocers, they’re in the same spot consumers are,” said Minnesota Grocers Association President Patrick Garofalo. “No one is getting rich off this.”
Buying local
Still, some small grocery co-ops say they’ve been able to maintain fairly steady supply and stable pricing by buying local.
Matt Hass, general manager of the Hampden Park Co-op on Raymond Avenue in St. Paul, said the grocery gets its eggs directly from two Midwest sources — Larry Schultz Organic Farm in Owatonna, Minn., and a group called Wisconsin Growers, which is an Amish collective in western Wisconsin.
In addition, the store’s primary distributor supplies eggs from two national operations — the Farmers Hen House, which is cage-free, and Vital Farms, which goes a step further and advertises its eggs as certified humanely raised.
“The supply has impacted the national companies,” Hass said. “It’s a little bit spotty on whether we can get those eggs in on a week-to-week basis. We do get delivery of the local eggs in.”
Those local eggs have not been immune to the laws of supply and demand. About a month ago, Wisconsin Growers raised prices by about 30 cents per dozen eggs. As a result, the Hampden Co-op now sells their eggs for $4.99, instead of $4.49. So far, store management has been able to keep all egg prices below $5, even as some major grocers in the Twin Cities advertise packages for $7 or more.
The eggs that are purchased from a food service distributor and cooked as part of prepared foods at the deli counter are a different story entirely.
“We saw the case price of those just jump astronomically,” Hass said. “We’re just not buying them from our food service distributor anymore. We’re supplementing (the deli) with our local eggs. They’re basically wholesaling at $11 a dozen. I won’t name names.”
Here are a few more things to know about the egg outlook:
How are restaurants and retailers responding to the rising price of eggs?
Around the country, some grocers have taken to rationing their supply or simply maintaining empty shelves. Others use eggs as a loss leader, drawing in customers with lower-than-average prices so they’ll spend money on other goods. Trader Joe’s recently began advertising a carton of eggs for relatively rock-bottom prices, with a sign limiting sales to one carton per person per day. Bulk sellers like Costco and Sam’s Club have set their own limits. Still other retailers simply pass costs directly on to the consumer.
Waffle House, a diner chain with locations in Missouri, Indiana, Ohio and the deep South, has taken to adding a 50 cent-per-egg surcharge to its menu.
In downtown St. Paul, the Skyway Grill burger-and-breakfast counter in the Securian Building food court on Robert Street began advertising a 75 cent-per-egg surcharge on Feb. 13.
Why do egg prices vary so much from brand to brand, store to store and week to week?
The eggs you see on the store shelves are purchased by retailers through a variety of means, from contracts with particular farms or suppliers, to spot markets, where buyers and traders price for immediate delivery. That means the prices retailers pay for their supply will vary based on market conditions — supply and demand — but not every brand will be impacted the same way at the same time.
When it comes to determining what price and costs to pass on to you, the consumer, that’s a whole different animal.
“Each major retailer has different strategies around eggs,” Moscogiuri said. “Some of them may use them as a loss leader. Some of them have lagging price contracts, where they pass along costs more slowly. … There’s varying ways to price: against the market benchmarks, or against long-term moving averages, cost-plus deals, fixed formulas. A lot of that has been negotiated prior to what’s going on here recently.”
Where is the flu prevalent now?
After all but decimating California’s laying hens, the avian flu has found its way to some of the largest egg-supplying states in and around the Midwest, including Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
In recent weeks, it’s spread rapidly to commercial layer farms, turkey farms, backyard farms, wild birds, and even in some states to cats and dairy herds, according to the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy, or CIDRAP, at the University of Minnesota.
Cattle can be quarantined for a couple of months and eventually recover, but avian influenza is quickly fatal to birds.
“We have a number of flyways that go up and down from the Arctic to the south, to the equator,” said veterinarian and epidemiologist Jeff Bender, director of the Upper Midwest Agricultural Safety and Health Center at the University of Minnesota. “We’ve actually seen it across all the flyways. … Through the work we’ve done, we’ve seen it in wild birds coming through in December in Minnesota. The Mississippi flyway, we had a number of reports of bird die-offs or sick birds, and they tested positive.”
Is this worse than the avian flu outbreak of 2015?
In a word: Yes.
“It absolutely is worse than 2015,” said Abby Schuft, program leader for Agricultural and Natural Resources at University of Minnesota Extension. “In 2015, our outbreak was from March to June, and then it was done in the entire United States. We lost 15.1 million birds. Since February 2022, the outbreak has not stopped in the United States. In total, the USDA reports 121 million domestic birds gone. That’s our chicken and our poultry.”
What preventative measures are farmers taking?
Strict hygiene protocols range from requiring workers to wash their hands and switch their boots more frequently, to isolating birds from areas where they might encounter wild waterfowl.
“There’s going to be a lot of parallels to what people experienced during COVID,” Schuft said. “It’s really difficult to control where wild birds fly, and where they land, but there are certain things we can do to control their lingering on a farm site.”
To scare away unwanted feathered visitors, some farmers have taken to using sound cannons. Minnesota turkey farms have begun experimenting with rotating laser lights.
“The birds see that as a predator, so then they won’t stay and linger for a long time,” Schuft said.
Those and other tactics fall under the general title of “biosecurity,” and commercial poultry represents the first industry to be required by the USDA to maintain biosecurity plans if farmers hope to qualify for indemnity payments.
“Other species may require a plan from the packing plant, but not from the USDA,” Schuft said. “Obviously, it’s not super successful, but without biosecurity we would have way more cases than we already do.”
What else are farmers doing?
When a farm is confirmed to have “highly pathogenic avian influenza,” the USDA requires that all of its birds must be disposed of and the premises emptied for a minimum of 120 days while environmental samples are taken from the floor, walls and equipment.
“Some farms have experienced multiple outbreaks,” Schuft said. “If a premises has a subsequent infection, it’s because there’s been a new introduction source, like waterfowl.”
After that, it can take months for a chick to mature into a growing hen and begin laying eggs, so repopulating lost laying stock is no fast endeavor.
That’s made the avian influenza an especially emotional and financially draining burden for farmers in particular.
“Some of our largest egg producers are in Ohio and Iowa, and they got hit pretty bad,” Bender said. “It takes time for those facilities to come back online. Usually, it’s about five months.”
“The physical, emotional, psychological toll is also quite dramatic, and that’s not just on the individual farmers,” Bender added. “It might be on the whole rural community and the feed industry. We’re talking billions of dollars lost now because of this continued outbreak.”
Does the avian flu present a danger to humans?
Avian flu is still rare, though not unheard of, in humans who likely contracted the virus through direct contact with animals — barn workers, bird hunters and others who encounter wild waterfowl. Experts say infected birds tend to die before they can lay eggs. For the extra cautious, thoroughly cooking eggs until they’re firm, not runny, would guarantee they’re free of pathogens like salmonella.
“Poultry products are still very safe to eat, ensuring poultry meat is cooked to 165 degrees, and that eggs are cooked, as well,” Schuft said.
Otherwise, “eggs are fine,” said Bender. “Probably the biggest risk for dairy farms impacted by influenza is for the workers.”
A new curatorial team has taken over the reins at the Cafesjian Art Trust in Shoreview.
Jill Ahlberg Yohe, a former longtime curator at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, is the CAT’s curator of modern and contemporary art, and Linnea Seidling, an art and glass historian who has overseen communications and events for the museum since it opened in 2022, is now the assistant curator of glass.
Kathie Cafesjian Baradaran, the museum’s founding trustee and daughter of the late philanthropist and art collector Gerard Cafesjian, has taken on the role of museum CEO. Previously, the role of curator and executive director were both held by Andy Schlauch, who quietly departed the museum in August 2024.

But now at the helm, Ahlberg Yohe and Seidling are aiming to broaden the museum’s presence to a variety of modern and contemporary art styles, they said during a joint conversation.
“There are a lot of private collections that are wonderful, but there are very few opportunities to shift what was a private collection into a museum collection,” said Ahlberg Yohe, who holds a doctoral degree in anthropology from the University of New Mexico. In making that change, she said, an institution takes on a certain responsibility to reflect and respond to the community in ways that are different from a private or personal collection.
“How are we going to fundamentally build something that is stewarding all of our collection and acquiring new things that complement our holdings, in ways that connect to the wider…conversations happening in the Twin Cities, in the region and nationally?” she said.
The museum is not stepping away from glass — far from it, Seidling said — but rather questioning the best way to elevate mediums, styles and movements that have historically been sidelined. It’s a thorny question: Might glass-specific exhibitions inadvertently contribute to the perception that glass art should remain separated from other art forms, rather than being in conversation with them?
“We have a lot of ideas about how to harness that strength in a different way, how to weave in our awesome glass collection with other media,” said Seidling, who before coming to the CAT was an assistant curator at the Corning Museum of Glass in New York, home to one of the world’s top glass collections. “Instead of having a glass show, or a painting show, or a textile show, (we are) creating exhibitions that put all of that together.”
And that goal — to “really uplift the artists on their own terms, rather than being defined by their medium,” as Ahlberg Yohe phrased it — is precisely her wheelhouse. When she left the Mia in Minneapolis last year, Ahlberg Yohe was associate curator of Native American art. One particularly groundbreaking exhibition under her leadership, 2019’s “Hearts of Our People,” included painted works, textiles, basketry, mixed-media sculpture and a custom-built car.
“I have heard over and over again how some visitors feel when they go into a museum, and it’s not always a great feeling — especially people who don’t see art that speaks to them, people who are told that art is something for elite people,” Ahlberg Yohe said. “I think we’re offering a contemporary space that feels intimate, warm, welcoming — and that you leave refreshed and feeling as if modern and contemporary art is for you.”
Currently on view at the CAT is “Echoes of Life: Paintings from the Collection,” which runs through Sept. 6.
Up next, a traveling exhibition called “Collidoscope: de la Torre Brothers Retro-Perspective,” is set to open in October as the first show under Ahlberg Yohe and Seidling’s leadership.
Entrance to the museum is free; guided tours must be booked online for Thursday and Friday visits but no reservations are required for Saturday visits. Closed Sunday through Wednesday.
