Preparing for life, not war, in challenging future

The wooden chipmunk statue in front of the Wa-Ga-Tha-Ka Resort stands as one of the defining landmarks along the Wabana Road in rural Itasca County. It’s been there for decades. But in recent years this whimsical woodland creature has quietly and quite unintentionally become a harbinger for the climate future of northern Minnesota. To be clear, this adorable giant chipmunk seeks to spread smiles, not doom. It emerges from its tarp wrappings with a sly grin each spring. The owners decorate it for the Fourth of July. Then, come late fall, the chipmunk returns to its tarp cocoon for another winter. Sometimes, around Halloween, the tarp becomes a ghost costume.

Janezich family brings smiles with The Ice Cream Truck

HIBBING — The Ice Cream Truck is making people smile all across the Range, and owners Trent and Janelle Janezich of Hibbing and their sons Brady and Charlie are loving it. It s a business, Trent Janezich told the Mesabi Tribune, but to us it is more than that. It is a social enterprise. It is a fun and sometimes funny way of getting people together, building community, creating laughter and enjoyment in people s lives, sharing in conversation. I can t describe how fun, and sometimes funny, it is to drive the truck down the street and see people s expressions, mouths agape at what they just saw. We get a kick out of that. Coming out of COVID-10 pandemic, it is a good opportunity to build our community back up again to being more social. So we park the truck sometimes at a local park.. families, Little Leaguers, city band, people on the basketball courts all come by the truck and grab a treat.they mill around and chat..they get to know one another again.
