Friday, Oct.
Two college freshman golfers with connections to Borderland faced one another recently in competition, and found themselves paired in Day 2, forming a friendship that may not have happened otherwise.Kelby Anderson, a Falls High School Class of 2024 graduate, playing for Winona State women’s golf team, and Sophia Karsnia, playing for the University of Sioux Falls, whose parents are from International Falls, faced off at the two-day Watkins Invitational Sept.
Local artist Bruce Trask is working to restore murals depicting pieces of Borderland’s past throughout the community, thanks to the support of local and district organizations.Through the remainder of the fall, and into next spring and summer, people traveling through International Falls will notice Trask working to restore murals on the Bob Walls Memorial Hall and Woodworkers Lodge W33, Peter Graham Veterans of Wars Post 2948, Elks Lodge 1599, Island View Realty, and Small Town Tech buildings.The restoration project is funded through the support of the Rotary Club of International Falls, Rotary International District 5580, members of the Peter Graham VFW Post, Koochiching Community Development Association, and the Marshall N.
The International Falls, Ranier & Rainy Lake Convention and Visitors Bureau will see a change in its executive director, whose aim is to continue to promote Borderland.Delaney Roshell, who has served in the executive director position for the last three years, has stepped away from the role as of the end of September to take on a new challenge.Taking the lead is Katrina Heibel, who brings with her a variety of experiences.Roshell said she’s been grateful for the experience “promoting the unique beauty and attractions of our area… While I am sad to leave the CVB, I look forward to continuing to invest in and contribute to the growth of our local community.”Roshell, and her husband Matt say they are excited to embark on a new chapter in their lives, opening a home decor and gift shop in the “It’s a Girl Thing” building, located south on Highway 53.
It’s why Marko Bajzer on this Earth: Interpreting the sounds of Voyageurs National Park, and other parks, in art.“I don’t know that there is anyone that’s as obsessed with the national parks as I am and has as much musical training as I do,” the multi-faceted artist said, with Rainy Lake as the background.The aim is to create a work of music that lives as long as its inspiration, he said.Voyageurs National Park is his fourth residency and the art he creates about it will be a part of a larger work on national parks.Minnesota’s only national park marks a return to his Minnesota roots, as he was born and raised in Rochester.While he played in the woods in his youth, he said he didn’t have the opportunity to get involved in outdoors activities.
