Ojibwe Language Project offering bilingual signage Boozhoo!

That’s Ojibwe for “greetings” or “welcome.”

Visitors may notice signs in Ojibwe and English.

The Ojibwe Language Project grew out of a three-year partnership between the League of Women Voters Park Rapids Area, the Park Rapids Public Library and Pine Point community members.

In the first phase of the Park Rapids project, the committee is designing bilingual signs with Pine Point School for their K-8 school and offering support to the Park Rapids High School Indian Education Program as the school district develops its signage.

Local businesses are also encouraged to post signs of welcome at their entrances. The committee aims to incorporate dual-language signage throughout the community.

“The goal of the project is to create an inclusive,

welcoming environment with an awareness of and respect for Ojibwe culture,” said committee member Beth Baker-Knuttila. “It is the hope of the committee that the use of bilingual signage will acknowledge the Ojibwe as first inhabitants of our area, encourage more curiosity about the Ojibwe culture by local residents and tourists alike, and encourage better relationships between the communities of Park Rapids and Pine Point as well as others on the White Earth Reservation.”

In the future, the committee plans to facilitate the expansion of the project more broadly throughout the community in multiple phases. Interest has already been expressed by the city, hospital and some resort owners, according to Baker-Knuttila.

Walker, Detroit Lakes, Grand Marais, Duluth, Kelliher, White Earth and Red Lake have launched the Ojibwe Language Project in their communities.

Events and Festivals Lake Itasca Region Pioneer Farmers Show Friday through Sunday, Aug. 17-19

Go back in time and spend a day or two exploring what life was like in the area in the “good ol’ days” at the Lake Itasca Region Pioneer Farmers Show Friday through Sunday Aug. 17-19.

The showgrounds, located off Hwy. 200 at 16914 Entrance Drive near Itasca State Park, contain a rustic village complete with country school, church, blacksmith shop, post office, pioneer homes and more.

Daily demonstrations will showcase how pioneers farmed, cooked, and sawed wood.

Gates open at 7 a.m. daily.

There will also be daily demonstrations of old-time log handing and sawing, threshing, blacksmithing and more. Music is also played on the grounds daily and there is a flea market as well as the Country Shoppe.

A highlight of the show is the daily tractor parades held at 1 p.m. daily and featuring a variety of vintage machines from throughout the region.

Children will also enjoy train rides and the playground at the center of the grounds.

Other special events during the festival include a country gospel music show and coronation of pioneer king and queen Rodney and Lorraine Rhen of Leonard Friday evening, a kids’ pedal tractor pull after the parade Saturday, a worship service at 9 a.m. at the Bilden Center on Sunday and an old-time tractor pull after Sunday’s tractor parade.

All members of the Lake Itasca Pioneer Farmers are volunteers with the common aim of preserving history, rural agriculture and logging.

Carter’s Farm Fall Festival Starts Saturday, September 29

A day at Carter’s Red Wagon Farm in Park Rapids is the perfect way to celebrate the fall season.

Pumpkin parties kick off Saturday, Sept. 29 and continue every Saturday through October as well as the Thursday and Friday of MEA (Oct. 18-19). Hours are 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. This year’s theme is Viking history.

Pumpkin parties are an autumn tradition for many families visiting the Park Rapids area. The farm is brimming with exciting activities for the whole family, including mazes, wagon rides through the property, and musical performances by the scarecrow band.

Children will have fun paddling giant pumpkin boats, riding the barrel train, participating in duck races, Nerf wars, “crow shooting” with a giant slingshot and many more exciting activities.

The newest attractions this year are a barn silo with a super slide and a tree deck and bridge with a curly slide. A variety of food is available on site or visitors may bring a lunch.

Admission is half-price for anyone with a valid military ID on Sept. 29, Oct.18 and Oct. 27. Call the farm at 218-732-4979 for more information or group reservations.

‘Fight of the Phoenix’ Park Rapids family battles child leukemia recursor B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia” is a long name for a scary illness, but a young Park Rapids boy and his family were recently forced to learn it.

‘Just growing pains’

Phoenix Hunter, 7, woke up early May 17 complaining of leg pain.

It was a school day for his mom, Danielle Perry, a paraprofessional at Century Middle School.

So, it was his dad Chris Hunter, a night security worker at Lamb Weston/ RDO Frozen, who took him to a local walk-in clinic.

“They sent him home saying it was probably

just growing pains” or something pulled or strained, Perry said. They were sent home with advice to give Phoenix over-the-counter pain medicine and rest the leg.

According to her account on Phoenix’s CaringBridge webpage, two days later “the pain in his leg was worse and he had a strange new symptom, a rash on his face and neck.” With no injury or recent trauma or illness, the clinic sent them home again with the same instructions.

By June 1, Phoenix was in unbearable pain.

This time the clinic took X-rays and drew blood samples. “The X-rays came back normal,” Perry wrote. “His blood work did not.”

By Marie Johnson Forum News Service They’re tiny, they’re hungry, and they’re here.

If you think the ticks seem bad this spring, your suspicions are correct. The Detroit Lakes area, along with the rest of Minnesota, is crawling with ticks this season, and doctors and veterinarians are reporting steadily increasing cases of tick-borne diseases in people and pets.

According to one recent report in the St. Paul Pioneer Press, the delayed spring, followed by warm temperatures, “has created a perfect storm for tick season.” Another report, this one in the Minneapolis Star Tribune, cites statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showing that Minnesota has the seventh-highest tally of tickborne infections in the U.S., making it “an epicenter of tick-related illnesses.”

Sarah Winter, a physician’s assistant at Essentia Health-St. Mary’s Clinic in Detroit Lakes, said Essentia clinics in the area (including Park Rapids, Walker and Menahga) saw 240 confirmed cases of tick-

borne illness last year.

The Minnesota Department of Health has classified Hubbard County as a high risk area for tickborne diseases. All the counties surrounding Hubbard are also high risk, including Otter Tail County, w h i c h until recent years was classified as moderate.

“All the numbers statewide have been increasing,” said Winter. “There’s been a very steady increase since 2014.”

The three most common tick-related diseases in Minnesota are Lyme, anaplasmosis and babesiosis.

Symptoms of these diseases include fatigue, headaches, body aches, fever, swollen lymph nodes, stiff neck and the telltale “bullseye” rash around the site of a tick bite.

If caught early, these infections can be successfully treated with antibiotics. Left untreated, tickborne disease can lead to neurological and joint problems.

before recorded history, inhabited by various Native American people.

Seasonal migrations of the Anishinaabe, better known as the Ojibwe, extended from Leech Lake to White Earth on what was known as the White Earth Trail. They traversed Straight River, which is now known as ‘the narrows’ of Straight Lake.”

Homesteading was opened in 1879.

A 125-year-old heirloom

‘Almost a daily occurrence’

Dr. Shane Nygard, a family medicine physician with Sanford Health Park Rapids Clinic, said he has seen no confirmed cases of Lyme disease this year, but several people have come in with tick bites, some of them with mouth parts still attached.

“I have had one patient that I did the prophylactic treatment,” he said, describing a single dose of antibiotic given to patients who meet criteria for a higher risk of exposure.

Parks explained that, due to the fact that schools close down over the weekend when lead can accumulate and come out in the first water out of the tap, water must be tested at that time.

Peggy (Enfield) Stone recounted a similar story about her grandmother, Mary Sanderson, and great-grandmother, Sarah Bullock. Her mother, Vivian, was the Sandersons’ youngest daughter.

Entitled “The Visitors,” Stone wrote the essay when she attended Park Rapids Area High School.

“It’s a story about strong and caring women,” she said.

During the first year of their homesteads, the harvest had been poor.

“They had never endured such cold and snow. The snow was so deep and the wind so strong that (great-grandfather) Cyrus had tied a rope between the house and the barn to use during blizzards,” Stone wrote.

Forced to get more food supplies from Verndale — a 70-mile trek — Arthur and Cyrus left the two women alone for nearly a week. The women tended to the animals and tried to stay warm.

One evening, two shivering Ojibwe men knocked on their cabin door, seeking shelter during a raging blizzard. “Mary asked the men into the cabin, fed them corn porridge and said they could sleep by the fire,” Stone wrote.

By morning, the latenight visitors had gone, but they left a string of blue beads.

“The beads seemed to say ‘thank you,’” wrote Stone.

Swinson’s tale recalls a winter day when, as a young boy, he encountered a silver-gray timberwolf in the Smoky Hills Forest.

there be?”

The historical marker, patio and benches are dedicated to the memory of Florence and Edward Hesse.

“History is in the senses of the beholder,” Jack said. “It’s a little bit like an onion. It comes in layers, with old, dry dirt stuff on the outside and thicker, more personal stuff the deeper you get. The closer history comes to home, the more odors and tears come with it. I can stand here — one mile distant and 75 years removed — and smell my grandmother’s doughnuts and the brooder house when the spring chicks came in.”

Additional land was given to the cemetery from Mary Lee Enfield, a granddaughter of the Sandersons. Enfield grew up in Osage and had a retirement home in the community.

Riverside Cemetery is governed by an elected board and maintained by volunteers and monetary donations. More than 530 people have been laid to rest there.

“They would occasionally leave gifts,” said Bill, such as a birch bark basket filled with maple sugar that has remained within the family ever since. Barbara Southward, a great-granddaughter of William and Sarah, brought the 125-year-old basket to the dedication ceremony.

Eight generations of Batemans have enjoyed Osage, noted Bill, who is the son of Glen and Marion Bateman. Glenn was a longtime businessman in the community and Marion was postmaster in Osage.

He said determining exactly where stormwater runoff will go is the biggest issue they need to resolve. “We figured about $90,00 of our long-term facility budget into that, and another $60,000 of the general fund,” he said. Once an estimate for the project is received, the budget will be adjusted to reflect those numbers.

Parks said two years ago a bid for the entire stormwater runoff project was $120,000 for everything. “This year, phase one alone was $208,000,” he said. “A big chunk of that has to do with the expectation of where the water goes. The original plan was to store it all in those cache basins in the parking lot, but now we have the 500-year flood plan in place and the city doesn’t want it to go where it has gone for the last 30 years.”

Board member Larry Smith said the two retention ponds would hold a three-inch downpour.

he said. “Our projection, at this point, is that we’ll be approximately $15,326 over revenue, which is a good thing for us. Expenditures for the 2018-19 budget total $7,801,837.

Parks said among things not yet factored in to the budget are the safety and security money the Legislature talked about, which he estimates could be $122,00 to $125,000.

“So we expect this to be a slightly better picture than it is at this point,” he told the board.

Parks he expects the Legislature to resolve the safety and security issue as soon as they are back in session.

He also said most maintenance projects are included in the budget with the exception of the storm water management plan. Discussion on a National Joint Powers Alliance for that matter was tabled until next month.

“That’s up $176,000 from last year, but includes $77,000 earmarked for facility maintenance with improvement plans that are already in place,” Parks told the board. “We’re presenting a relatively balanced budget at this point.”

Explore Itasca’s Mississippi and towering pines Minnesota’s oldest state park celebrates its 127th anniversary.

Itasca State Park was established on April 20, 1891 to preserve the old growth pine trees that were in danger of being logged.

More than half a million people visit Itasca State Park every year to see the giant pines and wade across the headwaters of the Mississippi River State Water Trail.

Park Rapids is the undisputed Gateway to Itasca State Park and the south entrance is a 22-mile drive from Park Rapids north on Highway 71. The east entrance is only a couple miles farther north of the south entrance, and then another mile or so west on Highway 200 – you’ll find it easily at the junction of Highway 71 and Highway 200.

On the drive north from Park Rapids on Highway 71 visitors can find several quaint shops and recreation areas to stop at along the way. Also, some fabulous restaurants are located just off of Highway 71 that are sure to satisfy any appetite.

Itasca State Park encompasses Lake Itasca, the official source of the Mississippi River, and a scenic area PARK RAPIDS ENTERPRISE

of northern Minnesota that has remained relatively unchanged from its natural state.

Today, the park totals more than 32,000 acres and includes more than 100 lakes. Stand under towering pines at Preacher’s Grove. Visit the Itasca Indian Cemetery or Wegmann’s Cabin, landmarks of centuries gone by. Camp under the stars, or stay the night at the historic Douglas Lodge or cabins. Explore Wilderness Drive past the 2,000-acre Wilderness Sanctuary, one of Minnesota’s seven National Natural Landmarks.

But the main attraction will continue to be walking across the headwaters of the Mississippi River on stones at the mouth of Lake Itasca. But there are plenty of other activities to do at the park. Other outdoor activities include taking an excursion boat on Lake Itasca, exploring along Wilderness Drive, biking or hiking along more than 30 miles of designated trails, fishing in one of the many lakes, observing the wild flowers in season as well as birding. Like the entire Park Rapids area, wildlife can be seen throughout the park.

Here is a sampling of events this summer. For more Itasca: Page 20

For more information, contact Itasca State Park at 218699-7251 or by email at itasca. statepark@state.mn.us.

Saturday, Sept. 22 – Itasca’s 11th annual Autumn Harvest Festival and Lantern-Lit Hike “Scat, Tracks, and Animal Signs” is this year’s theme for our lantern-lit hike from 6 to 8:30 p.m. . Guides with lanterns will lead you down the kerosene lantern-lit trail to meet characters that will explore animal tracks and signs you might find as you are exploring the Itasca forest. This is a family-friendly evening hike.

Group hikes will last about 30 minutes, departing every 10 minutes from the Jacob V. Brower Visitor Center. Registration for hikes begins at 6 p.m. The first hike leaves at 6:30 p.m. and the last hike will begin at 8:10 p.m. Hike times fills up fast, so make sure you register early.

The half-mile hike is suitable for all ages! Children must be accompanied by an adult. Other activities will be ongoing, including music and a variety of children’s activities. Notes: Dress for being outdoors in autumn.

You are welcome to bring a flashlight during the hike, but are asked to keep it pointed at the ground.

Saturday, Sept. 29 – Mushrooms in the Afterlife (of trees) Jonathan Schilling, director of the University of Minnesota’s Itasca Biological Station and a professor in plant and microbial biology, will lead a talk and walk focused on fall mushrooms and the role of fungi in the “circle of life” for trees from 2:30 to 4 p.m. . When a tree falls in the woods, and nobody is there to hear it, fear not. It made a sound, like a dinner bell, to all of the fungi in the area. Tree death and decay is part of what makes Itasca and its old growth special, and the fungi that dominate this process are part of the massive biofiltration system that cleans the water draining into Lake Itasca.

We will meet indoors with Jonathan, first, and then move outside to see what’s fruiting and to hunt for fungi controlling the afterlife of trees.

Itasca State Park A 6-mile, paved biking trail connects Douglas Lodge with the Mississippi River headwaters. Wilderness Drive offers a 10-mile, one-way bike route. Rentals are available.

Self-guided hiking trails take visitors through the most scenic parts of the park. In the winter, trails are groomed for cross-country skiing, snowmobiling and snowshoeing.

The park is located 20 miles north of Park Rapids on Highway 71.

Competitions For those looking to quench their thirst for competition, the Park Rapids area has many events throughout the summer. ► The annual Northwoods Triathlon is Saturday, Aug. 11. Details can be found at www.nevischamber. com/northwoods-triathlon. ► The annual Headwaters 100 with 100-, 75- and 45-mile rides will be Saturday, Sept. 22. For more information, go to www.itascatur.org.

Other suggestions Bike around Fishhook Lake. Begin at Heartland Park.

Bike along Hwy. 34 west to Hwy. 71. Go north to CSAH 18, then turn east. Travel along CSAH 18 until you reach CSAH 1. Go south until you reach the Heartland Trail.

Follow the trail south back to Heartland Park. The ride is about 11 miles.

For a 25-mile bike ride, begin at Heartland Park.

Travel to CSAH 1. Go north to CSAH 18. Go a short distance on CSAH 18 and turn left on Green Pines Road.

Head north along Potato Lake until you reach Vagabond Village campground. Go east on CSAH 40 to CSAH 4 (Lake George Road), then go north to Emmaville. Take CSAH 24 east to CSAH 7, going south to Dorset. Follow the Heartland Trail back to Park Rapids.

Hubbard County’s beautiful natural resources provide the scenery, while numerous trails offer outdoor enthusiasts the opportunity to explore year-round.

Heartland State Trail The Heartland Trail is a 49-mile, multiple-use trail, open to non-motorized use during the spring, fall and summer. It’s situated on an old railroad bed.

It’s an excellent trail for running, biking, in-line skating or walking. There are mile markers posted along the trail, which runs from Heartland Park in Park Rapids to Dorset (6.3 miles), Nevis (5.3 miles), Akeley (6.3 miles), Walker (9.4 miles), Wilkinson (12.5 miles) and ends two miles before Cass Lake (7.2 miles).

Users can expect to see a wide variety of wildlife and wildflowers along the way.

In the winter, the Heartland Trail is part of a network of groomed riding trails in the area. The hilly snowmobile trail alongside the Heartland Trail, with beautiful scenery and wildlife, is a great opportunity for horseback riding, mountain biking, running, walking and, of course, snowmobiling.

Paul Bunyan State Trail The Paul Bunyan Trail is 115 miles long, extending from Crow Wing State Park to Lake Bemidji State Park.

It’s the longest of Minnesota’s state trails and the longest continuously paved rail-trail in the country.

It’s built on the former Burlington Northern railroad corridor, dating back to 1893.

Based on its scenic value, trailside amenities and maintenance excellence, the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy inducted this trail into the 2011 rail-Trail Hall of Fame.

Trail users will get their fill of aspens, maples and oaks, and horizon-spanning freshwater lakes. The trail is open year-round to non-motorized use and snowmobile in the winter.

In Walker, the route intersects with the Heartland Trail.

Hiking for health: North Country Trail offers many rewards The North Country National Scenic Trail is one of 11 National Scenic Trails in the U.S. and the only one in Minnesota.

The North Country Trail runs 4,600 miles from New York to North Dakota. Being open to foot traffic only, Minnesota’s footpaths hold unimpeded travel for hikers, berry pickers, hunters, geocachers, cross country skiers and snowshoers.

Short day hikes or overnight hikes are possible.

Maps, events and suggested hikes are available at www.northcountrytrail.org.

Anyone walking this trail is in for a treat as it meanders through forested hills and valleys interspersed with rivers, lakes, and numerous wetlands. Many enjoy the trail for mushroom hunting, wild flowers and nature photography. Later in the summer, visitors can be rewarded by finding wild strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and blueberries along the trail.

Locally, the North Country Trail is complete with trailheads and campsites between Remer and near Detroit Lakes.

The trail is constructed, maintained and promoted by volunteers. They are the heart and soul of the North Country Trail.

Do you enjoy hiking and are you looking for a group to hike with on a regular basis? Join the Laurentian Lakes and Itasca Moraine Chapters. The area’s segments of the North Country Trail are maintained by these two chapters.

Volunteers are welcome to adopt a trail section or help with other duties.

For information regarding the Laurentian Lakes Chapter, email llc@northcountrytrail.org. For more information on the Itasca Moraine Chapter, email at itm@northcountrytrail.org.

Trail routes are shown on the Hubbard County highway map, available at area businesses and at Chambers of Commerce. The latest information can be found on the Facebook page NCTinMN and www.meetup. com/https://www.meetup.com/Chip-NCT-hikers.

AUGUST/SEPTEMBER 2018

Art Leap expands in 2018 Art Leap, an “open studio event” featuring artists and guest artists, will expand from 14 to 22 locations in 2018.

The event will be held Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 22 and 23. Studios will be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Saturday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.

The Park Rapids Lakes Area Arts Council (PRLAAC) sponsors Art Leap and added more sites this year when a number of highly skilled artists asked to be included. Among others, there will be more destinations in downtown Park Rapids and several artists will gather at St. Urho Park in Menahga.

Highlights of Art Leap weekend include music, hors d’oeuvres and seeing fall colors at their peak while driving from studio to studio. It’s a great time to purchase original art for homes and meet the

artist who created it. And enjoy live demonstrations and other arts activities at some locations.

In August, brochures with maps, directions and descriptions, performance times and other information will be available at the Park Rapids Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce Visitor Center and Park Rapids Area Library and other locations and at www.prlaac.org.

Art Leap 2018 is sponsored by the Park Rapids Lakes Area Arts Council with funding provided, in part, by a Region 2 Arts Council Grant through an appropriation by the Minnesota State Legislature and the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund passed by Minnesota voters on Nov. 4, 2008.

Storytelling contest set to entertain Sept. 22 The Park Rapids Lakes Area Arts Council is sponsoring the Great American Story, a storytelling contest, at 7 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 22 at Calvary Lutheran Church.

Entries will be judged and narrowed to four finalists who will perform the best-told stories at the 3rd annual event. The audience will vote to select the top two storytellers among the four finalists. The two semi-finalists will be given a prompt and tell a 10-minute extemporaneous story. The audience will then select the winner.

Master Storyteller Richard Rousseau will once again entertain while ballots are being counted.

Rousseau has been an active participant in the Midwest performance community for the past 50 years as an actor, director, playwright and storyteller. His interest in storytelling was prompted by a desire to engage his audience without the aid of scripting or rehearsal. For more than 25 years he has been refining his craft in a wide variety of settings in Minnesota and across the country. Rousseau is one of the founders of the Northstar Storytelling League, PARK RAPIDS ENTERPRISE

25

predecessor to Story Arts of MN, and is currently the Minnesota Liaison for the National Storytelling Network.

This year’s emcee will be Mike Carroll, a longtime resident of Park Rapids. He is now retired from 35 years with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and focuses on family, friends and community projects. He is an active member of the Park Rapids Lions and Northern Light Opera Company community theater.

He and his wife, Nancy, spend winters on a family farm in southeast Missouri, where he still gets to practice his forestry training, but he is always back to enjoy the outdoor benefits of our local summers and falls.

Tickets will be available at the door: $10 per person; kids 18 and under free. For more information, go to www. thegreatamerianstory.org.

This activity is made possible, in part, by a grant from the Region 2 Arts Council funded by an appropriation from the Minnesota State Legislature with money from the State’s general fund.

AUGUST/SEPTEMBER 2018

Saturday’s hours are 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. For more information, contact the winery at 218-224-3535 or visit www. forestedgewinery.com. Forestedge Winery is located 14 miles north of Akeley on Highway 64.

Impressive art exhibits at Nemeth For more than 40 years, the Nemeth Art Center (NAC) has been providing exceptional art opportunities to the Park Rapids area.

Admission is free to the NAC galleries, which are open Thursday through Saturday from noon to 6 p.m.

May through September.

An exhibit by Minneapolisbased artist Alexa Horochowski ends Sept. 29.

Horochowski says her sense of geographic space has been formed by opposing landscapes – the desolate Patagonia of the Atlantic Coast of Argentina where she grew up and the fertile prairie and woods of the Midwest where she lives now.

She aspires to an aesthetic of argument and provocation; an art that produces objects of potent agency and reflection, through which viewers are encouraged to question the sustainability of a consumer society that undermines our environmental resource base.

The opening reception celebrating Horochowski’s artwork will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 25.

Curated by Tim Peterson, “Extraordinary Outdoors” features work by numerous artists, including Alyssa Baguss, Beth Dow, Jan Estep, Anthony Marchetti, Paula McCartney, Stefanie Motta, Margaret Pezalla-Granlund, PARK RAPIDS ENTERPRISE

26

Lex Thompson and Megan Vossler​. Their works depict “dynamic, visual explorations into nature that are either the result of long-distance travel, explorations in their own backyards or works of imagination created entirely within their studios.” The exhibit runs through Sept.

29. An artist reception is 5 to 7 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 29.

Local artist Nate Luetgers’ work will be displayed from Sept. 1 through Sept. 29. An artist reception is 5 to 7 p.m.

Saturday, Sept. 8.

This summer, NAC initiated the “2nd Sat Hap,” an evening of live music, poetry, film and performance held at the art center the second Saturday of every month.

The event begins at 5 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 8.

The NAC’s permanent collection of over 40 European paintings spans six centuries.

The Nemeth Art Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. It is located in the upstairs of the historic Hubbard County Courthouse, located at 301 Court Ave. For more information upcoming exhibits and membership privileges, visit www.nemethartcenter.org or call 218616-2064.
