Masterpiece Atlantic Crossing
Hemingway This three-part, six-hour documentary film by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick examines the visionary work and the turbulent life of Ernest Hemingway. Interweaving his biography — a life lived at the ultimately treacherous nexus of art, fame, and celebrity — with excerpts from his iconic short stories, novels, and non-fiction, the series reveals the brilliant, ambitious, charismatic, and complicated man behind the myth, and the art he created. TPT 2 Monday-Wednesday, April 5-7, 7 & 9 p.m.
A princess steals the heart of the president of the United States in an epic drama based on the World War II relationship of Franklin Roosevelt and Norwegian Crown Princess Martha.

In eight parts. TPT 2 Sundays, starting April 4, 8 p.m. TPT LIFE Wednesdays, starting April 7, 8 p.m.

A NOTE FROM SYLVIA
Each spring we welcome thousands of children to our Lowertown studios in Saint Paul to celebrate “Be My Neighbor Day.” It’s a day that honors the legacy of Fred Rogers, the iconic children’s TV presenter who believed in teaching kindness and understanding. I had the great privilege to meet Mister Rogers once, and then work with his wife Joanne and Mr. McFeely on some wonderful Good Neighbor initiatives earlier in my career. Fred Rogers remains an inspirational figure and positive role model to our children – the impact of his work to teach and demonstrate kindness to generations of public television viewers continues.
Though we are unable to host an in-person event due to COVID-19, this year we are introducing more ways to engage and celebrate, including a free virtual event on Saturday, April 24th, that includes on air programming on TPT LIFE. Visit tpt.org/events for registration and event details. Trusted multi-media educational content is needed now more than ever. At Twin Cities PBS (TPT), we believe every child matters and is entitled to free, safe, and trusted educational resources. TPT is here to provide you with the support you need as you face the growing challenge of keeping your kids healthy, connected, and on track for success. Discover valuable resources online at tpt.org/learn .
We are proud to continue to provide quality programming for all Minnesotans and look forward to the day we are able to gather in person again.
Best Regards, Sylvia Strobel, President and CEO, Twin Cities PBS

PUERTO RICAN FRICASÉ DE POLLO BY NETTIE COLÓN
On a bright autumn day, Chef Nettie Colón (Red Hen Gastrolab) invited Chef Yia Vang (Union Hmong Kitchen) and the Relish crew to her backyard kitchen to cook up some of her Puerto Rican grandmother’s fricasé de pollo (chicken fricassee). A cross between a stew and a braise (without searing the meat), fricasé de pollo is a very popular island dish that exemplifies the island’s many cultural influences. Watch the episode and more ways to make this dish at tptoriginals.org/relish/fricase-de-pollo
PREPARATION
INGREDIENTS
Preparation on Stovetop In a cast iron Dutch oven kettle with a tight-fitting lid, heat on medium high the olive oil and sauté the sofrito along with the ham and dried oregano for about 10 minutes. Add the chicken, mix to coat all the ingredients in the pot and cook for 3 minutes. Add the vinegar, olives, capers, prunes, bay leaves, pumpkin or squash and tomato sauce. Once all is well incorporated, add the annatto- or saron-infused broth to cover everything by 1 inch. You can always add more of the broth later on as it cooks if needed. Raise heat to medium high, bringing to a moderate boil, cover with the lid and reduce heat back to medium, and cook for about 45 minutes. Once chicken is done uncover the pot, add the peas and the cold butter, and cook until sauce is thickening to coat back of the spoon. If sauce is not thick, then cook for longer period of time. If sauce is too thick, then add some of the leftover infused stock.
One 2 ½ to 3-pound whole chicken, washed, skin removed & cut into 10 pieces bone-in and season with olive oil, salt & pepper Sofrito Base (this can be made ahead in a pestle & mortar or food processor) 3 cloves of garlic smashed with the back of a knife 1 teaspoon sea salt 1 medium Spanish yellow onion peeled diced small 6 small, sweet bell peppers (to seed or not to seed your choice) 4-6 fresh leaves of culantro, roughly chopped 3 tablespoons olive oil ½ cup cured ham, diced in small cubes 1 teaspoon Dried oregano (Dominican or Mexican oregano) ¼ cup Sherry vinegar (white vinegar is a good substitution) ¼ cup pimento-stued olives (small to medium size) 2 teaspoons capers 10 prunes pitted and sliced 4 bay leaves 1 pound pumpkin or winter squash (in summer you can use potatoes) ½ cup tomato sauce 1 – 1 ½ quarts of annatto-or saron-infused chicken stock or “pipe stock” 1 pound of green peas (frozen will work as well) 3 tablespoons cold butter
Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

Finding Love with a Foster Dog During the Pandemic By Margie Goldsmith
Sometimes I think about being in love again. I've been married to three men I loved, but I divorced each because eventually the negatives outweighed the positives.
And then, last week, unexpectedly, I fell in love. With a girl named Lisa. I took one look at her and she smiled before I'd even introduced myself. She leaned in and kissed me right on the mouth and my heart went into my throat.
To me, love was something that grew over time. But with Lisa, I was smitten. She was the first partner I felt I could love unconditionally. Lisa, by the way, is a dog.
I'm lucky because I love my work, have good friends, enjoy live music, theater, dinner and museums. But after COVID-19 hit, my entire social life was relegated to Zoom calls.
One day, feeling particularly lonely, I thought, what about a dog? Before the pandemic, I never would have considered the possibility, because my work involves travel. But I'm not going anywhere until I'm vaccinated.
Having a dog would mean someone to greet me each morning. Someone I could pour out my frustrations to, and love unconditionally. But what would happen when COVID-19 ended?
Then I learned about a local rescue shelter in which you either adopt a dog or foster one for a few weeks before it finds its "forever" home.
This was ideal! I'd have a special friend to love — for a limited time period.
After a few weeks, they contacted me about a foster named Lisa who was half Beagle, half terrier, two years old and weighed 22 pounds. I hadn't had a dog since I was 15, so I was fairly nervous when I arrived to pick her up. They handed her off to me with a bag of dog food, snacks, toys, and a metal crate. The way Lisa looked at me with her big brown eyes and then licked me on the lips took away all my trepidation. I was in love.

9 Things We Learned During COVID-19 That Will Endure By Sheryl Kraft
2. Our Personal Approach to Wellness The pandemic has inspired many people to take a more active role in their health. In its recent trend report, the marketing communications agency Wunderman Thompson notes that companies are recognizing a rising need for technology that allows us to track our health status in our homes — like blood pressure monitors, sleep sensor patches and devices that measure lung function and respiratory rates. 3. Telehealth The urgent need to practice social distancing combined with fear of seeking medical care has sped up the adoption of telehealth by many patients and practitioners. During the first quarter of last year, as the pandemic was starting, telehealth visits increased by 50% compared to the same period the previous year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. As patients grow more comfortable with the technology and regulations evolve to make it easier for providers to get reimbursed, widespread use of telehealth may stick after the pandemic is over.
As the COVID-19 pandemic rages, it's hard to envision an end in sight. But with vaccines moving forward and new treatments emerging, there will be a day when we can get back out into the world and resume our lives. What will those post-pandemic lives look like? A majority of U.S. adults (86%) polled by Pew Research Center say there is some kind of “lesson or set of lessons” to be taken from the pandemic, like the importance of wearing a mask to protect others, the value of spending time with family and loved ones or the need for universal health care. Here are 9 pandemic changes that might just become part of our future survival guide: 1. Mask Wearing When rules that require mask wearing are eventually lifted, it's possible the habit may become permanent, at least when people are indoors in crowded spaces like bars, restaurants and arenas. In a recent white paper, the professional consulting services firm Deloitte reports "A short- term regulatory intervention, like compulsory face masks, can trigger a settling-in period which influences the 'new normal.'"
“As a former educator and librarian, I strongly believe in lifelong learning. By including TPT in my estate plan, I’m helping to provide educational programs and services for future generations.” - Patrick Porter, TPT Visionary Society member For more information contact the Development Department at 651-229-1410 or development@tpt.org

4. Home Fitness While home fitness was popular prior to the pandemic, the closings of gyms and fitness clubs have driven sales of home workout programs and exercise equipment to an all-time high. Many people have adjusted to the convenience and ease of home workouts. In the future, gym-going might become more of a hybrid activity, like employees who split their time between home and the office. 5. Working from Home The Harvard Business Review reports that the number of employees working at home will probably increase, now that "most professionals found ways to be productive outside the office." Yet not everyone sees it that way. Many workers feel a lack of community and creativity when working from, according to New York Times columnist Kevin Roose. "Studies have found that people working together in the same room tend to solve problems more quickly than remote collaborators, and that team cohesion suffers in remote work arrangements," said Roose. 6. Retreat from Supermarkets Jim Hertel, senior vice president of analytics at the data and analytics firm Inmar Intelligence, told Supermarket News that the online grocery shopping trend "is likely to continue even as restrictions are lifted." That's because shoppers have grown accustomed to this routine, with convenience being the main driving force, he said. 7. Increased Hotel Hygiene Hotel bookings have taken a blow during COVID-19, but the industry is trying to bounce back by adding measures to ensure their customers' health and safety. The Breakers Hotel in Palm Beach, Fla., for example, has made permanent some initiatives it implemented during the pandemic, like hand-sanitizing stations throughout the resort, touchless guest transactions, advanced cleaning measures and air filtration systems.
8. Hybrid Work and Conferences The hybrid approach offers the ability to gather a small group in person and to involve a larger, virtual audience, said Nancy Davis, chief creative officer of the Global Wellness Summit. The result, she noted, is that those who can access an event virtually feel they are part of something dynamic and those in person have a wider audience with whom they can connect. 9. Comfy Fashion Casual Fridays have become casual everydays, as companies like Banana Republic launched work-from- home collections featuring relaxed styles with comfort and function in mind.
But how will fashion re-emerge once we're back out into the world?
Beauty historian, author and trends expert Rachel Weingarten predicts a move toward what she calls “high concept comfort.” "When there's an industrial revolution of sorts, fashion follows. Although our current fashion world isn't exactly fashionable, in many ways it's become a lot of fun," said Weingarten. "You might see sequins or embellishments on the comfy clothing; it will likely be unlike anything we've worn previously."

Tax Tips for Filing Your 2020 Return
By Richard Eisenberg
Every tax-filing season seems full of complexities and consternation. But the one we're now in is especially fraught, due to the pandemic: Stimulus checks. Unemployment benefits. Working from home tax issues. New COVID-19 rules for 401(k) and Individual Retirement Account (IRA) hardship withdrawals and loans. Frankly, it's all pretty taxing. That's why my "Friends Talk Money" podcast co-hosts Terry Savage, Pam Krueger and I just released a new episode with advice for 2020 taxes, with help from Wendy Barlin, a CPA and tax strategist. (You can listen to the episode wherever you get your podcasts.) Savage, the nationally syndicated personal finance columnist and author of "The Savage Truth on Money," laid out what you need to know about taxes and any COVID-19 stimulus checks you received (or should have received).
"If you received a stimulus check, that's all tax-free income," Savage explained. "It does not get reported anywhere on your 2020 tax return."
It's especially important to file your return electronically. That will help you get any stimulus refund faster than if you file a paper tax return.
What about people who were employees in 2020 but had to work from home due to the pandemic?
"There is no home-office deduction allowed for them under the current law," said Barlin. "Unfair? Absolutely!"
And what if you had to buy, say, an office chair so you could do your work from home for your employer? Can you deduct that? Sadly, no.
"That line item on the tax return used to be there three or four years ago. It was called employee business expenses," said Barlin. "It was expenses you incurred to do better at your job — whether it was for a chair or to go to a meeting or an education class. That line has gone away."
You can, however, write off a home office if you were a freelancer or had a side business from there.

ReSponding to DisparitieS: A Look at a Post-2020 United States By Hadija Steen Mills
H ave you ever had a cut in the most inconvenient place? One of those places that you continually bump and re-aggravate? That is the current backdrop of the United States, a festering set of wounds that are in the most used places of the collective body. There is a shared yearning for healing to mend the wounds that keep reopening. But healing does not mean there are no scars. It means altered tissue is rejoined into a new landscape. Moving toward a new future requires letting go of the pre-2020, because we can do better than before. The events of 2020 opened many people’s eyes to deep and rooted inequities that are an undercurrent in this country and the world. In the context of Minnesota the issue is magnified due to the Minnesota Paradox: the phenomenon that Minnesota ranks as one of the best places to live in the nation, but only if you are white. If you are Black, Native American or a person of color, it ranks as one of the worst. Information like this flies around like hot summer mosquitos: pesky reminders that won’t catch a hint. This is an oppressive environment that strips communities of their power and aggressions, both big and small, one that belittles and hurts. A new future requires naming the infections of
oppression that fester in the wounds. Words like “public health” and “racism” have been launched into the realm of dinnertime conversation topics. In the last year, I have been asked for a definition of public health, whether or not something is racist, or what racism and public health have to do with each other. Although public health is a relatively young field, it is very much in a relationship with social inequities.
this all mean? It means there are five different systems to navigate: Minneapolis, Saint Paul, Hennepin County, Ramsey County and the State of Minnesota, all holding unique pockets of services and information, without working as a cohesive unit of support.

Hadija Steen Mills [they|she] was born and raised on Dakota land commonly known as Minneapolis. They received a Bachelor’s in Science from the University of Minnesota in sexual health with a focus on reproductive justice and health disparities.
Public health focuses on the prevention of negative health
outcomes. Current systems have created an inequitable world where differences in the ability to access services and the way people are treated directly contribute to disease and unequal outcomes. 2020 was the year racism was declared a public-health crisis. It was a call for mobilization and movement toward a new future. A new future requires reattaching the severed pieces into a unified system. It requires harnessing the collective power. Minneapolis and Saint Paul make up the Twin Cities. They have their unique characteristics, but the major dividing line between these two locations is the mighty Mississippi River. Minneapolis is part of Hennepin County and Saint Paul is situated in Ramsey County, and all of that is a portion of Minnesota. So what does

Data shows that a patient has notably more positive health outcomes when they have access to health insurance, emergency savings, hospitals/clinics, and providers. If a patient cannot access these resources, it is more likely that they will experience poor health outcomes. This conundrum creates “health disparities,” which are defined as preventable lack of opportunity to achieve optimal health, typically experienced by marginalized populations.
