MASTER GARDNER Have you heard the news? The 2023 Vegetable of the Year is…… the delicious, nutritious BEET! Beets are this year’s vegetable for the program “One Vegetable, One Community”, a very unifying title though lacking in excitement, so I am also declaring it the 2023 vegetable of the year to get your attention! Question: Why do beets always win? Answer: Because they are un-beet-able! Beets provoke strong opinions. I haven’t met very many people who are neutral about beets.
The Native American faculty and students of Rainy River Community College will hold a Ziigwan International Unity Traditional Powwow this coming Saturday. It will be held in the gymnasium and is free and open to the public. The Ziigwan, which means spring in Ojibwe, is held on the third weekend of April and is organized by the Anishinaabe Student Coalition of RRCC, with Stephen Briggs, indigenous services director. The powwow is a renewal process for the Indian community and it is an opportunity for non-natives to share stories and food. The RRCC Ziigwan is not a competition powwow, but a social and a spiritual event that honors the elder and traditions. “For us this is a big event,” said Briggs. “The community feast and dance is a central part of the culture and a way of showing respect. The powwow and the feast is open to everybody in the community,” he added.

Kameron Koerbitz’s longer curly hair was often the subject of good-natured teasing from his classmates in Michelle Misner’s fourth and fifth grade class at St. Thomas. The teasing was put to a good cause last week when Kameron challenged his classmates Ethan Phung, Thomas Knaak, Billy Brokaw, Spenser Walchuk, Chris Guba, Cole Miggens, and Ben Humbert to bring 50 pounds of food in three days. If they accomplished their goal, Kameron said he would let the class shave his head bald. Kameron is now bald; the results of his challenge were obviously successful.
