Airra SaundersAfter a setback from the coronavi-

rus pandemic, the Moose Lake movie theater, Lake Th eater, is fi nally able to reopen for the summer of 2020. “We’re defi nitely really happy about being able to get back to business,” says the own-er and manager Walt Lower. “We are also nervous,” he goes on to say, “we can only show older classic fi lms until about mid-July.”

Along with the other coronavirus basics like sanitizing, keeping a six-feet distance, and following the govern-ments’ limited capacity rule, the theater is mostly worried about their movie se-lections. Th ere are no new fi lms being sent to theaters right now.

Because of the pandemic, movie pro-duction across the globe has shut down. “We could see a potential gap in mov-ies being released in the future. Many movies are made overseas and globally there have been no movies being made for months.

Th eaters can expect to start playing new movies again that were unable to be released during the COVID-19 shutdown come the fall of 2020 or early 2021. “Unfortunately, the future of our business is up in the air,” says Lower. Th e theater in Moose Lake has been in business for 101 years. Th e current the-

ater building was built just six months after the 1918 Fires of Moose Lake.

“It’s shocking how hard this pan-demic has hurt our business,” shares Lower. “We’ve survived everything: the fi rst pandemic with the Spanish Flu, the Great Depression which lasted 10 years, WWII and all the market crashes since.”

Now the theater is unsure of what to expect. “We also have to be selective about the classics we play. I’m not al-lowed to show any Disney or Fox mov-ies,” explains Lower. Jaws was the fi rst classic shown; Grease and Despicable Me are next.

“It gives people in the local area something to go do,” Lower says. “It’s a place you can go with your family or bring a date. Th ere’s a lot of nostalgia because it’s an old-time original way of entertainment.”

Still, Lower is unsure as to whether or not Lake Th eater will survive from the coronavirus pandemic, because many people are not as eager to spend money on old movies.

Th en, there is another small dilem-ma. “After months of people being told to “stay home” I can only imagine people wanting to get outdoors during Minnesota’s nice summer weather,” says Lower. “We almost need a rainy week-end for some good business,” he jokes.

Despite uncertainty, Lake Th eater is beyond happy they can get back to business and customers and movie-go-ers have expressed their joy to have the theater open again. Shrek and Back to the Future are other classic fi lms we can expect to see playing at the theater this summer. n

Submitted by Mercy HospitalLeaders from Mercy Hos-

pital in Moose Lake and Essentia Health are pleased to announce that plans for a formal partnership between the two organizations have been approved; it’s expected to be eff ective in early Au-gust.

Mercy’s board of directors recently voted to approve the affi liation, in which Essentia will assume operations from Mercy. Last fall, the hospi-tal issued a request for pro-posal to several health care providers, seeking a formal partnership to bring greater

stability and resources to the community. Board members chose Essentia, citing its strongly aligned mission and values and Essentia’s plan to grow primary and specialty care services in Moose Lake, along with hospital and emergency care.

Integration teams from Mercy Hospital and Essentia Health have been meeting twice monthly since De-cember 2019 to analyze the relationship in greater detail during a due-diligence pro-cess. With all of that com-plete, both organizations are excited to be moving forward.

“Th is rapidly evolving health care landscape re-quires new partnerships and strategic planning so that the needs of the communi-ties we are privileged to serve can continue to be met,” said Mercy CEO Mike Youso. “Our patients will benefi t from personalized prima-ry care services to advanced specialty care, all connected by a robust electronic health record that follows them any-where in our organization.”

Patients also will benefi t from continued excellence in obstetrics services.

“We appreciate Mercy’s

mission-driven culture and commitment to high-qual-ity care and see many con-nections to the mission and values that guide our work at Essentia every day,” said Dr. Jon Pryor, Essentia Health East market president. “By partnering, we will bring positive change to Moose Lake and the surrounding I-35 corridor communities through enhanced services and stability.”

Th is affi liation is based on a shared commitment to enhance health care services in Moose Lake and the sur-rounding communities. n

The Friends of the Saint Paul Public Lib./Minnesota Center for the Book

Th e Friends of the Saint Paul Public Library, as the Minnesota Center for the Book, announces the next chapter in the new statewide book club, One Book One Minne-sota.

Presented in partnership with State Library Services, a division of the Minnesota Department of Ed-ucation, the program asks Minne-sotans to read a common title and come together to refl ect and discuss. Th e summer title for the program is “A Good Time for the Truth: Race in Minnesota,” edited by Sun Yung Shin. Readers will have free, unlim-ited access to the e-book until Aug. 23.

With unfl inching generosity, these authors take readers into their lives, sharing experiences that we all must understand if we are to come together in real relationships.

Friends President Beth Burns, explains why this book was chosen as the next featured selection in this statewide program.

When we started this program two months ago with “Because of

Winn-Dixie” by Kate DiCamil-lo, it was in response to the iso-lation and resource gaps created by the COVID-19 pandemic. Our desire was to bring Min-nesotans together to share in the collective joy of reading and come together as a virtual com-munity.

Since the death of George Floyd, the world erupted in grief with protests led by black com-munity members and activists and perhaps fi nally a reckoning

that we must confront institu-tional and systemic racism – and that means all of us. Reading this book in community off ers some Minnesotans the opportunity to see their experiences broadly shared and others a chance to educate themselves—and to dis-cover ways to act on their con-victions.

We are fortunate that Min-nesota is home to many talented writers whose work can inform and guide us on this journey.

Minnesota communities struggle with some of the na-tion’s worst racial disparities. As the authors of “A Good Time for

the Truth” confront and consid-er the realities that lie beneath the numbers, this book provides an important tool to those who want to be part of closing those gaps.

Editor Sun Yung Shin writes in the introduction: “Th ese es-says...are intended to enlarge our understanding of, and deep-en our connections to, one an-other. Th ese writers are here to feed our spirits, if we let them. We can read their stories and leave each one with a deeper, more complex understanding of how race and culture are lived in Minnesota – and better prepared for the conversations and chang-es ahead.”

“A Good Time for the Truth,” published in 2016 by the Min-nesota Historical Society Press, is a series of essays in which 16 of Minnesota’s best writers pro-vide a range of perspectives on what it is like to live as a native person or a person of color in Minnesota, understanding of how race and culture are lived in Minnesota – and better prepared for the conversations and chang-es ahead.”

During the summer months, through their local libraries, Minnesotans will be invited to read the featured book selection and will have access to reading guides, conversation facilitators and virtual book club discus-sions. All Minnesotans will be invited to participate in a state-wide virtual discussion with the editor, Sun Yung Shin, in Au-gust.

“A Good Time for the Truth” is available on multiple plat-forms. Readers can access the digital book for free on Ebooks Minnesota for 10 weeks, un-til Aug. 23. Hard copies of the book will be available through the Minnesota Historical Soci-ety Press and independent book-stores across the state, as well as public libraries as social distanc-ing allows.

Th e public will be encouraged to visit their local library’s web-site for information on the book and virtual discussions. Links to resources for libraries and schools can be found at www.thefriends.org/onebook.. n

U.S. Department of Health and Human Services

Th e U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Health Resourc-es and Services Administration awarded $300,000 to the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe to pre-pare, prevent and respond to COVID-19 in rural tribal com-munities in Minnesota.

Nationally, $15 million was awarded to 52 tribes, tribal or-ganizations, urban Indian health organizations, and other health services providers to tribes across 20 states.

HHS Secretary Alex Azar

said, “Today’s funding gives tribes critical support to build up their capacity for fi ghting COVID-19, boost testing ca-pabilities, increase purchases of PPE, and hire and pay the per-sonnel they need.”

Th ese awards are funded through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act that President Trump signed into law on Friday, March 27, 2020. HRSA made awards to Federally Recognized Tribes and other tribal organiza-tions based on their needs and ca-pacity to implement COVID-19 related activities in their rural

communities. Tribes could re-quest up to $300K in funding for these activities through the Ru-ral Tribal COVID-19 Response (RTCR) program.

“Th e COVID-19 pandemic has hit many tribal communities, particularly in rural areas, very hard,” said HRSA Administra-tor Tom Engels. “By directing new resources to these areas we are hoping to make a diff erence that will result in fewer new in-fections of this pernicious virus.”

Th e RTCR program funding allows tribes fl exibility in how they respond to COVID-19 within their communities.

Activities include supporting their workforce by ensuring ac-cess to personal protective equip-ment (PPE) and off ering over-time and hazard pay, building infrastructure to include max-imizing telehealth services; in-creasing their capacity to test and isolate suspected COVID-19 patients, purchasing mobile clin-ics or vehicles for transporting COVID-19 patients to increase access to health care services and providing culturally-informed educational resources and in-formation to promote behaviors that slow the spread of the virus. n

BIRTHS

Happy Father’s Day a little late. What would we do with-out the “Dad’s” in our lives? We sometimes take for granted the impact that they have.

I had great examples in my grandfathers, father and father-in-law.

Th ey taught me that life is what you make it.

Th ey taught me that noth-ing in this world is going to be given to me, but that is OK be-

cause the struggle to earn it will bring me pride.

Th ey taught me that hard work is done by just putting one foot in front of the other and keep pushing forward.

Th ey taught me how to fi sh, hike and love the world around me...the real world. Not the sugar-coated one that doesn’t have briars and thorns.

Th ey taught me that it’s OK to wear a dress and look pret-ty, as well as play baseball and shoot a gun. Th ank you to all the “dads” in the world.

Th is has been an interesting and emotional week for my fam-ily and me. I had to take my hus-band Bob to St. Luke’s Hospital in Duluth on June 9 because he was very tired and just couldn’t get his words out to communi-cate with us.

I thought he might have been having a slight stroke, so off we went in a hurry. Th en, when we arrived, I went right to the emergency door and nurses in PPE came to the van and hur-ried him off to the ER.

I was not able to go in, so waited in my van in the hospi-tal parking lot waiting for a call from his doctors or nurses.

It took about two hours be-fore the doctor called me on my cell phone and said he had giv-en Bob a CAT Scan, which was good, no bleeds were detected, but he wanted to admit him for further tests.

With this news, knowing I couldn’t go in and see Bob, I headed back to Wright.

By June 14, I still didn’t know if Bob did have a stroke, or just was fatigued. Th e medical staff at St. Luke’s performed many tests on him including an MRI and CAT scan on his brain, EKG on his heart, ultrasound on carotid arteries, colonoscopy, endoscopy and still nothing seemed to be wrong with him.

I did talk to a social worker and she said he should go to a nursing home for rehab and

physical therapy to build up his strength.

So Monday, June 15, I got a call that he would be transferred to the North Shore Estates in West Duluth. I knew he didn’t have any extra clothes, so I packed a bag and headed to Du-luth. I dropped off the suitcase at one of the main doors and went to the parking lot to await his transfer, as I wanted to at least see him before he headed to the nursing home.

I waited and waited and called several times to see where he was, but they kept telling me he wasn’t going yet.

Finally, I called the hospi-tal again and they said, “Oh, he left and is already at the nursing home.” Th ey must have taken him out a diff erent door than they told me, so I totally missed seeing him at all.

I was pretty upset and dis-gusted by this, but I told myself to get over it and carry on, which I did.

So as of June 15 he is at North Shore Estates, 7700 Grand Av-enue, Duluth, MN 55807 if you are interested in sending him a card of encouragement, etc.

Fortunately, I am able to talk to him on the phone, but no one can visit and he is quarantined in his room for at least the fi rst 14 days due to the pandemic.

Now, all Bob and I can do is wait, hope and pray he gets well enough to come back home. I did go to the nursing home on June 20 and was able to visit through his window while we both talked on the phone, which worked pretty good.

Congrats anglersCongratulations to Tate

Blomquist and Dylan Nyberg for placing 57th out of 200 in the virtual fi shing contest over the weekend. Th ese boys are both members of the Cromwell Wright School Fishing Team. Did you know we even had a fi shing team?

Pee outside and you can achieve

anythingA recent hike gave me

the opportunity to teach my 4-year-old my daugh-ter one of the most im-portant lessons of her life: how to pee outside.

Up until now, her life experience told her that boys could pee outside, but girls had to go inside to use potties.

Th at all went out the window when we were in the middle of a nature preserve on a bird-watching expedition and her little voice peeped from behind me: “I have to go potty.”

I knelt down so I could look directly into her eyes as I explained what she was going to learn.

At fi rst she was confused. Th en her eyes and her smile widened as the idea of this newfound liberation dawned. She looked at me like I just gave her the key to unlocking her full life potential.

When we got to the task at hand she was absolutely giddy. She as giggling with nervousness of doing something new, but also pride at her accomplishment.

She was so excited that her execution didn’t go quite as planned. Th ere’s a trick to the female potty-less pee for sure and it was a valiant fi rst eff ort. I was glad we had spare clothes and wipes in the car.

Th at day was a lesson in more than just technique. Th at day she learned she can accomplish what she wants

to, even if means doing it in a slightly diff erent way. More than that, it was a lesson in not letting other people dictate what you can and cannot accomplish.

Live your life for you. Don’t let the paradigms or expecta-tions of others limit your own vision.

So, go ahead: Answer the call of nature. Have a bush wee. Water the plants. Rain on a rock. Sprinkle your tinkle. Squirt the dirt. Mark your territory. Embrace your freedom.

Back on our walk, we were two, confi dent, independent women ... until 15 minutes later when her voice peeped again: “Mommy, I have to go poop.”

Give me strength.

To the community, Th e last couple months have

gone by slowly for some, more quickly for others as we have adjusted our lives in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

We at Gateway Clinic under-stand this has had a profound eff ect on many individuals in the communities we serve. At Gateway Clinic, we have adopt-ed safety protocols recommend-ed by the CDC and Minnesota Department of Health includ-ing daily screening of staff and patients to keep everyone safe as we resume clinical operations.

We are also requiring all pa-tients and staff to wear a mask. We have reopened our Hinckley Clinic and are bringing all our employees back to work. We are seeing patients in-person and via tele-medicine at all our clin-ics and we encourage patients to make appointments to en-

sure chronic medical issues and health maintenance issues are being managed appropriately.

If you missed an appointment because of the pandemic and you are not sure if you should sched-ule an in-person appointment or tele-appointment, please call us and we will accommodate you in whatever fashion is most appro-priate.

Also, we have some disap-pointing news to share. Gate-way Clinic and Essentia have had a long-standing relationship which has been of mutual bene-fi t to both organizations as well as the communities we serve.

For more than 19 years, our physicians have been the sole group responsible for caring for all the inpatients at the hospital in Sandstone. We have devel-oped a great relationship with the excellent ER doctors who rotate through the hospital, as

well as the top-notch nurses and other staff .

Th is has helped create a sta-ble hospital system the commu-nity can feel confi dent in. Th e building of the new hospital and clinic, as well as this strong part-nership, has helped bring more services and specialists to our local area.

However, Essentia has re-cently decided that local Gate-way doctors will no longer be the providers of choice to care for the inpatients in Sandstone.

Th is is disappointing on so many levels, but what we will miss the most is the continuity of care with our patients.

Our Gateway Clinic med-ical staff and our clinics in Sandstone, Moose Lake and Hinckley are not aff ected by this change, so you can still schedule a clinic visit with your Gateway physician.

Gateway physicians will also continue to provide inpa-tient care at Mercy Hospital in Moose Lake and continue car-ing for our patients who are res-idents in local nursing homes or assisted living facilities.

Gateway Clinic will continue to provide you with the quality care you have come to expect from our physicians and we look forward to serving you.

We hope everyone is faring well and we look forward to see-ing you soon.

Signed,

Bridget Dewey, M.D, Gateway Clinic Internal Medicine/

Pediatric; Essentia Health Sandstone Chief of Staff

Sad to see Gateway doctors no longer serving Sandstone patients

GUEST OPINION

From the

Editor

Kirsten Faurie

Deane MorrisonTh is month Jupiter and Saturn dominate the evening sky,

while Venus climbs into prominence as a predawn planet.Venus comes out higher in the east every day, freeing itself

from the sun’s foreglow. On July 3, our brilliant sister plan-et begins a 10-day glide across the face of Tau-rus, the bull, represented by the V-shaped Hyades star cluster. On the 12th, Venus passes just one de-gree, or two moon widths, from Aldebaran, the eye of the bull, which is not part of the Hyades. Hanging above the action is another star cluster: the Pleiades. Venus crossed the Pleiades in April, before plummeting out of the evening sky. Don’t miss the show on the 17th, when a waning crescent moon joins Venus and Aldebaran.

Jupiter and Saturn are low in the southeast at nightfall. Much brighter Jupiter and the ringed planet both reach op-position this month, when Earth laps them in the orbital race and they appear opposite the sun in the sky. Jupiter’s oppo-sition comes on the 14th, Saturn’s on the 20th. Both planets now trace low arcs across the sky each night because in sum-mer, our hemisphere is tilted toward the sun and thus away from any planet opposite, or nearly opposite, the sun.

But Mars will be fairly high at its October opposition be-cause by then we will tilt more toward the night sky than toward the sun. As its opposition date approaches, Mars brightens daily, but it’s still a morning planet. By month’s end, though, it just manages to scrape over the eastern horizon by midnight.

July’s full moon arrives shortly before midnight on the 4th. Between 10:07 p.m. and 12:52 a.m. that night, the moon’s uppermost part undergoes a penumbral eclipse, where Earth blocks some sunlight from reaching the moon. Th is eclipse will be so slight that only the sharpest eyes will notice it.

Also on July 4, Earth reaches aphelion, its farthest point from the sun. At that moment we’ll be 94.5 million miles from our parent star and traveling most slowly in our orbit. Because Earth reaches its minimum speed in the northern summer, it takes longer to get through this part of our orbit. As a result, in the Northern Hemisphere, spring and summer together last several days longer than fall and winter. In the Southern Hemisphere, it’s the opposite; spring and summer there are shorter than fall and winter. n

Watch for Jupiter,

Saturn, Venus in July

Some say an outdoor kitch-en isn’t complete without a piz-za oven. A delicious pie straight out of a blazing hot oven can be

delectable when dining al fresco, but pizza also can be made right on the grill.

Th is recipe for “Th e Chica-

goan” from Craig W. Priebe’s “Grilled Pizzas & Piadinas” (DK) utilizes grilled beef and sliced potatoes to give this grilled

pizza a steakhouse fl avor. Use a homemade dough or your favor-ite premade variety available at your local grocery store. n

Ingredients:1 russet potato, peeled and sliced about

1⁄4-inch thick3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil1 teaspoon salt1⁄2 teaspoon freshly ground black pep-

per8 ounces top sirloin or strip steak1⁄2 teaspoon saltFreshly ground black pepper1 grilled pizza crust1 tablespoon grated Parmesan1 cup shredded mozzarella1⁄2 cup shredded cheddar1 cup chunky tomato sauce1⁄2 cup thinly sliced red onions1⁄4 cup sour cream2 tablespoons minced fresh chives

Directions:1. Preheat the oven to 400 F. Place the

sliced potato in a large bowl and toss with two tablespoons olive oil, salt and pepper. Line a baking sheet with foil and spread the slices in a single layer. Bake for about 15 minutes, until the potato is golden and tender. While still hot, loosen the slices with a spatula so they don’t stick.

2. Prepare a grill for direct cooking over high heat. Season the steak liberally

on both sides with the salt and pepper. Grill the steak over the hottest part of the fi re for 4 minutes. Turn and grill for 4 minutes longer, until the steak is medium-rare and well charred. Remove and let sit for 5 minutes. Slice thinly.

3. Brush the grilled side of the pizza crust with the remaining one tablespoon olive oil and dust with the Parmesan. Sprinkle the mozzarella and cheddar on top. Drop spoonfuls of the chunky tomato sauce onto the pizza. Top with the potato, red onion and the steak.

4. Grill the pizza with indirect heat. If your grill is still hot, move coals to one side or turn off one burner and allow the pizza to cook on the side without a direct fl ame. Grill the pizza for 5 to 8 minutes, or until the crust is crisp and brown. The bottom may have a few black spots from charring. Optional: Broil the cooked pizza in the oven for 1 to 2 minutes more to caramelize the top.

5. Before serving, drop teaspoons of the sour cream onto the pizza, and garnish with the fresh chives.

Grilling the crust:To grill a pizza crust for this recipe, roll

out to a 12-inch circle and place on a

cookie sheet. Adjust the grill to reach a temperature of 400 F.

Slide the dough onto the grill. The dough should take about 3 minutes to cook. Watch for bubbles. The crust will be soft at fi rst and tear easily. To check doneness, lift the underside. It should be an even light brown with brown grill marks.

Pick up the crust using tongs and place it on your cookie sheet. Flip it over so the grilled side is face up. This browned side becomes the top of your pizza.

Turn your grill into a pizza maker
