Why a Minneapolis neighborhood sharpens a giant pencil every year
MINNEAPOLIS -- Residents will gather Saturday in a scenic Minneapolis neighborhood for an annual ritual — the sharpening of a gigantic No. 2 pencil. The 20-foot-tall (6-meter-tall) pencil was sculpted out of a mammoth oak tree at the home of John and Amy Higgins. The beloved tree was damaged in a storm a few years ago when fierce winds twisted the crown off. Neighbors mourned. A couple even wept. But the Higginses saw it not so much as a loss, but as a chance to give the tree new life. The sharpening ceremony on their front lawn has evolved into a community spectacle that draws hundreds of people to the leafy neighborhood on Lake of the Isles, complete with music and pageantry. Some people dress as pencils or erasers. Two Swiss alphorn players will provide part of this year's entertainment. The hosts will commemorate a Minneapolis icon, the late music superstar Prince, by handing out purple pencils on what would have been his 67th birthday. In the wake of the storm, the Higginses knew they wanted to create a sculpture out of their tree. They envisioned a whimsical piece of pop art that people could recognize, but not a stereotypical chainsaw-carved, north-woods bear. Given the shape and circumference of the log, they came up with the idea of an oversized pencil standing tall in their yard. 'Why a pencil? Everybody uses a pencil,' Amy Higgins said. 'Everybody knows a pencil. You see it in school, you see it in people's work, or drawings, everything. So, it's just so accessible to everybody, I think, and can easily mean something, and everyone can make what they want of it.' So they enlisted wood sculptor Curtis Ingvoldstad to transform it into a replica of a classic Trusty brand No. 2 pencil. 'People interpret this however they want to. They should. They should come to this and find whatever they want out of it,' Ingvoldstad said. That's true even if their reaction is negative, he added. 'Whatever you want to bring, you know, it's you at the end of the day. And it's a good place. It's good to have pieces that do that for people." John Higgins said they wanted the celebration to pull the community together. 'We tell a story about the dull tip, and we're gonna get sharp,' he said. 'There's a renewal. We can write a new love letter, a thank you note. We can write a math problem, a to-do list. And that chance for renewal, that promise, people really seem to buy into and understand.' To keep the point pointy, they haul a giant, custom-made pencil sharpener up the scaffolding that's erected for the event. Like a real pencil, this one is ephemeral. Every year they sharpen it, it gets a bit shorter. They've taken anywhere from 3 to 10 inches (8 to 25 centimeters) off a year. They haven't decided how much to shave off this year. They're OK knowing that they could reduce it to a stub one day. The artist said they'll let time and life dictate its form — that's part of the magic. 'Like any ritual, you've got to sacrifice something," Ingvoldstad said. "So we're sacrificing part of the monumentality of the pencil, so that we can give that to the audience that comes, and say, 'This is our offering to you, and in goodwill to all the things that you've done this year.''

There's one number Aaron Rodgers unlikely to wear with Steelers
It's doubtful that Aaron Rodgers will don the No. 12 as a member of the Steelers. Although not officially taken out of use, the Steelers have unofficially retired No. 12 for legendary quarterback Terry Bradshaw, with no other Pittsburgh players wearing it since 1983. Based on Bradshaw's recent comments about Rodgers, who agreed to a one-year deal with Pittsburgh on Thursday, it is unlikely that he will lend the number to Pittsburgh's newest quarterback. Advertisement 3 TV host and former NFL player Terry Bradshaw speaks at the Pepsi Zero Sugar Super Bowl LI Halftime Show Press Conference on Feb. 2, 2017 in Houston. Getty Images Last month, Bradshaw was brutally honest about his thoughts on Rodgers' drawn-out free agency process with the Steelers, saying how the entire courtship was 'a joke.' 'That's a joke. That to me is just a joke,' Bradshaw said during an appearance on 103.7 The Buzz. 'What are you gonna do? Bring him in for one year, are you kidding me? That guy needs to stay in California. Go somewhere and chew on bark and whisper to the gods out there.' Advertisement Bradshaw, 76, spent the entirety of his 14-year NFL career in Pittsburgh, winning four Super Bowls. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1989. Rodgers, 41, has reportedly told the Steelers that he intends to fly to Pittsburgh to sign a one-year deal on Friday so he can participate in mandatory minicamp on Tuesday, ending his monthslong free agency affair. 3 Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Terry Bradshaw passes the ball. FocusAdvertisement Details of the contract have yet to be announced. The 10-time Pro-Bowler revealed one of the reasons behind the length of his free agency was that someone close to him was diagnosed with cancer on 'The Joe Rogan Podcast' last month. 'I've been in the weeds with these people who are close to me that have cancer,' Rodgers told Rogan. 3 Aaron Rodgers reacts on the field during the first quarter of the Jets' win over the Dolphins on Jan. 5, 2025. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post Advertisement Rodgers also opened up about the process on 'The Pat McAfee Show' in April, saying then that he was even consisering retirement. 'I'm in a different phase of my life,' Rodgers said then. 'I'm 41 years old, I'm in a serious relationship. I have off-the-field stuff going on that requires my attention. I have personal commitments that I've made, not knowing what my future was going to look like after last year, that are important to me. … I have a couple of people in my inner circle who are really battling some difficult stuff. 'So I have a lot of things that have taken my attention and have beginning in January away from football. That's been where I've been focusing most of my attention on.'
