HistoriesHistory

Every building holds a story — some are just old-er than others. Just a couple of the buildings around Becker County worth the story include the Hotel Shoreham and the Baer Brother’s Building in Frazee. The Hotel Shoreham, built in 1910, is celebrating 100 years this summer. The Shoreham area was developed by John K. West, and the hotel was a popular destination for guests com-ing by boat. Those boat and train schedules still hang on the Hotel wall, in fact. Brothers Rick and Tom Lynch have owned and operated the Hotel Shoreham since 1974. Over the 100 years, the Hotel has served as hotel, restaurant, drive-in restaurant with carhops, resort and apartment building. The walls were built one-foot thick of concrete, and the archways give a unique, al-most Spanish, look to the outside of the building. The archways were enclosed with windows around 1940. Aside from a few new roofs over the years, Lynch said he hasn’t had to have any work done on the building. There have been other changes over the years out-side the Hotel Shoreham, throughout the Shoreham community. Now, the Hotel and the Shoreham Chapel are the only two original buildings left in what was once one of the most popular destinations in the area. Back in its heyday, Shoreham was a bustling area, known for its lakes and resorts. At the end of Washington Avenue, on Detroit Lake, people would board steamer Lady of the Lakes and travel through Dunton Locks, on the way to Shoreham. From about 1890-the 1930s, it started with a train ride into Detroit, followed by a buggy ride to the dock of Detroit Lake. From the dock, the Lady of the Lakes — followed by several other steamers over the years — would take passengers through the lake system, and an hour later, they would be set to enjoy a weekend at Shoreham. Cost for the trip from Detroit to Shoreham

was 25 cents. In the early 1900s, there were 250 cottages and several small hotels in the Shoreham area. The Hotel Shoreham is full of historic pictures from both Lynch’s mother’s collection and from the Becker County Historical Museum. The pizza shop across the patio was once a guesthouse, but in 1987, the Lynches added their pizza shop out there. In Frazee, the Baer Bros. Hall was a place for enter-tainment. It was used for balls and dances, and there were even stage lights, making it thought to be the best arranged opera house between Fargo and Minneapolis. Baer Bros. Opera House formally opened September 1899, presenting “Damon and Pythias” and “The Mer-chant of Venice.” Tickets were 25, 35 and 50 cents. Baer Bros. also owned and operated a store. The Baer brothers, William and Gottlieb, constructed the building in 1898 for $17,000. They owned it until 1911, when they sold it to Frank Kiene for $20,000. Known as the Kiene Building until 1920, it was then sold to Wilson Hubbard of Iowa. In 1925, it was foreclosed on and sold on a sheriff’s auction to City Commercial Bank of Iowa. After changing hands several times, it finally landed with John Anderson in 1932. It went through several other owners until Jerry Arenson purchased it in 1969. The main floor businesses included Baer Bros. General Store, Kiene’s Store, Bishop’s Grocery Store, Rosenbloom Clothing, Lee Anderson Clothing, Roy Harvey Dry Goods, Hoffman Hardware, Olson Cafe, Skyview Cafe, Jim’s Hardware & Variety, Star Drug, Hareware & Variety, Teiken Drug & Variety, Skyview Theater, Frazee Bar and now George & Becky’s on the Corner. The second floor, though, was for social functions. It was a popular place for dances, card parties and the Frazee Opera House. After the public school burned down in 1906, classes were held upstairs for two years. Graduations and basketball games were also held there. There were also dentist and doctor offices, the telephone company and an attorney located upstairs. It was converted to apartments around 35-plus years ago.

Becker County FairThis year marks 119 in county fair celebrations

Boys and girls of every age are preparing to gather for three days of fun, amusement and community bond-ing that can only be the 119th Annual Becker County Fair. This year’s fair is July 28-31. For the first time ever, there will be a live band performing on Thursday night under the Big Tent. “We’ve nev-er tried it before,” Fair Manager Bob Sonnenberg said. “They’re a pretty popular band out of Fargo.” Also, crowd favorites The Callen Family will return. “They’re always fabulous,” Sonnenberg said. So will T. Texas Terry on Wednesday at 2:30 p.m., bringing with him his Wild West Show. All Big Tent events are free of charge. Notwithstanding the altogether new features, expect expansion to nearly all of the returning attractions at the Becker County Fair. This means more rides, more entertainment options and yes, even more types of food to drown

in a deep fryer. The open-class exhib-its — such as 4H livestock showings — will also return in full force. “Last year we had a record year on that and that’s the way it looks again this year,” Sonnenberg said. Animal demonstration activities in-clude the 4-H and FFA Poultry Show at 9 a.m. on Wednesday, the 4-H and FFA Swine Show at 1 p.m. on Thursday, and the 4-H Horse show at 8 a.m. on Friday. There will be judging of live animal exhibits every day. The Demolition Derby, too, will be returning. It will headline the Grandstand on Friday and Saturday; with the stock car and compact pick-up/minivan Derby and the pickup/4-cylinder derby, respectively. Finally, the Miss and Junior Miss Becker County Fair Pageant will be back, taking over the Grandstand at 6:30 on opening night, Wednesday. The pageant is a longstanding tradi-tion in the Becker County Fair, and ex-pect the same grace, beauty and majes-ty from it that you always have, albeit with a fresh new crop of contestants.

WE Fest goin’ againKenny, Keith are back; Kid Rock to headline

The Midwest’s favorite coun-try music festival is rolling into town this month, making every ef-fort to draw the crowds in again for 2010. WE Fest will hit Soo Pass Ranch on Thursday, August 5, and keep the music booming and the party hop-ping through Saturday the 7th. This year’s lineup has something for every degree of country con-noisseur, catering to all variations of the average and not-so-average WE Fest fan. From acts new to the country mu-sic scene, like up-and-comer Jason Aldean, to WE Fest veterans like Kenny Chesney, the main stage will shine with talent both time-tested and prepared to prove its merit. And from Minnesota-based Hitchville to worldwide phenom-enon Kid Rock, the musical styles represented are widespread and fit for an audience that’s anything but cookie-cutter. With honky-tonk and bluegrass, old-school country and contempo-rary Nashville themes, mainstream rock-and-roll influences and soul-ful singer-songwriter vibes, as well as brash Southern rock, mournful blues and maybe even a hint of hip hop, the sounds will range from smooth and sweet to rough and tumble, guaranteeing that there’s an artist to please everybody – whether you’re wearing a cowboy hat or not. Campsites are also available to accommodate the many lifestyles of WE Fest’s followers. Whether you want to party until tonight becomes tomorrow or catch some Zs and re-boot for another day of festivities, Soo Pass Ranch has a place for you – so long as you reserve it soon. The festival also boasts the main

stage debuts of this year’s Karaoke Roundup winners. Shane Parsons of North Dakota and Lisa Fine and Stephanie Rollings of southern Minnesota will each open for one of this year’s major acts: Kenny, Kid and Keith. For those who can’t wait until Thursday for the fun to begin, the Ranch House will host a Kick Off Party on Wednesday with WE Fest returnee 32 Below. A perfect lead-in for the rest of the weekend’s enter-tainment, the bar will open at 4 and the band is set to start at 9. From Thursday through Satur-day, gates will open wide at 2 p.m., making way for the following acts and as many fans as can fit inside.

Good time, good causeLakes Area Parrot Heads host annual Habitat fund-raiser on the lake

The Lakes Area Parrot Heads will be hosting the 5th Annual Boats and Bars event on Saturday, August 28. The event will start at 11 a.m., with a kick-off party at Zorbaz, continue with a boating tour of the lake, and end back at Zorbaz, with a party at 8 p.m. There will be two separate bands playing at the open-ing and closing parties at Zorbaz. The fun part, though, is what happens in the time be-tween. Throughout the day-long excursion on beautiful Detroit Lake, people will be treated to the music of Island Steel Drums, in three, three-hour stops along the way. Additionally, each of the establishments stopped at will be serving a free, complimentary drink of their choice. Jim Brogren — who is running the event — describes Boats and Bars as “a good cause and a fun time” out on the lake. And how can something like Boats and Bars not be enjoyable? How can a person ever go wrong with a com-bination of loved ones, free drinks, and (God willing), radiant sunshine? It’s a veritable mid—summer day’s dream. Boats and Bars is more than just a good time, though:

it supports a good cause. All the money raised from the event will go to Habitat for Humanity. This means, of course, that you need not feel guilty about the alcohol or all the “idle time” spent enjoying the beautiful lakes area. “Boat and Bars is something look forward to,” said Brogren. “It keeps getting bigger every year, it just keeps growing.” Tickets are $15, and can be purchased beforehand, or the day-of at Zorbaz. For more information or to register, contact Jim Brogren at (218)-841-2968.

Shopping, shopping, shoppingDetroit Lakes merchants pull out the sale tags for annual Crazy Daze

Come on out and get your goods at the 53rd Annual Crazy Daze on August 3.

Crazy Daze happens along Washington Avenue — which is closed to traffic for the event — from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Jeff Leighton — who is co-chairperson of the event, along with Beth Priday — is excited to be in charge of another year of the popular, and traditional, Lakes Area event.

“It’s a longstanding tradition in the Detroit Lakes area,” said Leighton.

“It’s a great way to get great deals on summer mer-chandise while there’s still some summer left.”

Leighton has been involved with Crazy Daze for 15 years, and has been a chairperson for the last 4 or 5.

He says he initially got involved to “kind of get some fresh blood, bring in some new ideas” to the event.

And he has done just that.Several years ago, a variety of new vendors, enter-

tainment and food options were added to Crazy Daze, making the already popular event even more spectacu-lar.

This year’s Crazy Daze will be a continuation of this “new and improved” festival that shoppers have doubt-lessly come to expect.

“We’re gonna have a strolling magician, kids’ games,” said Leighton, listing some of the attractions outside of great deals that Crazy Daze offers.

Leighton has only two words of advice for shoppers hoping to get the best deals and the best selection.

“Come early.”

Pine to Palm ready to swingThe traditional competition is still growing strong after 78 years of golf

Who says growth stops with age? The Pine to Palm Golf Tournament at the Detroit Country Club turns 78 years old, but it is still growing. For the second consecutive year, the Pine to Palm has added a new player’s division, with the Super Se-nior Division starting its inaugural year as play starts Aug. 9 and runs through Aug. 15. Last year, the Mid-Amateur Division was a success, with 22 players taking part and this year, almost double will be competing in the Mid-Am. It’s based off the Mid-Am success, that the Pine to Palm Committee decided to add the Super Senior cir-cuit, which is for golfers 65 and older. “It’s been very positive, so far, and it will be a com-petitive tournament,” said Pine to Palm Committee Chair Bob Gorden. To add the Super Senior division, the usual Senior flights of Cormorant and Pearl have been taken away. The Super Seniors will have an 18-hole qualifier and the top eight will make the Championship match-play tournament, while the next eight will playoff in a name flight. “Now those guys can play against players their own age,” Gorden said. The Mid-Am division will have one more flight add-ed, as well, with Championship match play still being a bracket of 16 and the next eight qualifying scores play-ing off in an “Executive Flight”. With good reviews coming off of last year’s Mid-Am tournament, Gorden is estimating up to 40 players in

this year’s Mid-Am. Rick Linnerooth, a regular Championship Flighter, is moving to Mid-Am competition, after being a regular match play qualifier over many years of Pine to Palm competition. Last year’s Mid-Am champion, Jay Olafson, will be back. Olafson enjoyed the first-ever Pine to Palm Mid-Am tournament and believed it will be a strong one for years to come. “The Mid-Am was lots of fun this week and I think it will only be bigger next year with some bigger names,” Olafson said last year after clinching the title. The Senior division will lose some quality golfers to the Super Seniors, such as Detroit Lakes’ Ted Hatlan, Bill Blake (last year’s Senior’s runner-up) and Rick Render. But the Seniors will be adding a former Championship player in Rob Harris, who made the cut on more than several occasions when he played. T.L. Solien will also be back to defend his 2009 Senior’s title, after he defeated Blake 2 and 1. Although the Pine to Palm Golf Tournament will be turning 78, Championship play seems to be getting younger and younger. At the ripe old age of 16, Frazee’s Beau Hanson played to the round of 16 last year, before falling to the University of Minnesota’s Cameron White 7 and 6. It’s been a trend the last few years of having more than several high school golfers make the cut, then make some noise in match play. The last time a high school golfer won the tourna-ment was in 1979, when eventual PGA Tour competitor

Chris Perry did it in 1979. The other 17 or 18 year olds who won Pine to Palm gold included Don Carman (17) in 1936, Pat Sawyer (18) in 1931 and Dave Hanten (18) in 1964. “The only difference for high school golfers is that they lack match play experi-ence,” said Gorden, who is also the Detroit Lakes head boys’ golf coach. “They are good, solid players and can qualify. But they don’t always match up well against the more savvy veterans of match play. “If they make mistakes against a vet-eran, they will probably lose that hole.” There will be seven players from the Laker team playing in the Pine to Palm this year, including 2010 seniors Nate Ginnaty and Ross Mickelson, juniors Tanner Lane and Connor Hedstrom, along with under classmen Rick Hutchinson, Tyler Baukol and Nate Bausman. The Laker boys’ finished fifth in the Class 2A state tournament. But there will also be a strong conten-tion of veterans back, including former Pine to Palm champions Greg Melhus (2003), Russ Newman (1992 and 1994), Ben Freeman (2008), Cory Blenkush (2007), Rick Kuhn (1991 and 2005), Jim Strandemo (1983, 1987 and 1989) and defending champ Tom Hoge. Hoge, who is entering his final year at Texas Christian University, tore through the Pine to Palm last year after clinching co-medalist honors and cruising through match play — winning by scores of 3 and 2, 3 and 2, 4 and 2 and taking the finals over U of M golfer Thomas Campbell 3 and 1. With a total of 32 flights, with an esti-mated 450 golfers playing over the course of Aug. 9-15, the DCC golf course is in pris-tine condition. From tee box to green, golfers will be greeted by perfect playing conditions. “Everything is looking pretty good,” said DCC Ground Superintendent Darwin Lindsey. “The greens have come in very nice and with the rain this summer, ev-erything is looking very green.” The golfers and their families also will be greeted by a newly renovated club-house, which also features the fine food of Little E-Z and concessions in the rotunda area. Qualifying starts Monday, Aug. 9, and runs through Wednesday evening. Match play will begin Thursday morn-ing and run through Sunday, where the championship matches in each flight will be played.


Vergas gets a little looneyAug. 12-15 will be packed with loon calls, baseball, a pageant and more

Step just outside Becker County with Vergas Loo-ney Days, held in the beautiful little town of Vergas in Otter Tail County.

Looney Days will extend from August 12 through 15.Kevin Flynn — the chairman of Vergas Looney Days

— has been involved for several years, but wasn’t in

charge until this year. “This is my fourth year being a part of it, and my

first year being the chair person,” said Flynn.With plenty of managerial experience under his belt,

though — as being president of the Vergas Community Club and owner of Billy’s Corner Bar and Grill — Flynn is taking his newfound responsibility in stride.

In fact, he is very excited.“It’s a chance for Vergas to shine,” he said. “It’s our

town festival.”Flynn is especially excited for

this year’s Looney Days, which he says will make the festival even better than before — name-ly, for the kids.

“We’re gonna use Loon Field for a lot of kids games,” he said.

“The Vergas Loons (the area amateur baseball team) are gon-na put on a clinic for the kids on Saturday,” he added.

Looney Days is far from an ex-clusive kids event, though. There will be something for every taste in fun and entertainment.

“We’ve got four days worth of events,” Flynn said, “something for the entire family

A few of the events at this year include: a Miss Vergas and Miss Altona Pagaent at 7 on Thursday night, August 12; a Vergas “All City Happy Hour” on Friday; a loon calling contest on Saturday at 11:30 a.m.; and Turtle Races on Main Street at 3:30 on Sunday.

There will also be several con-certs throughout the festival as well, put on by popular area per-formers such as the Fat Cats and Tim Mahoney.

Flynn invites everyone that comes to Looney Days, older than 21, to “stop in for a beer and a burger” at Billy’s. Minors can just have the burger.

Flynn has high hopes for this year’s Looney Days, and hopes, God willing, that it will be the most successful thus far.

“Hopefully the weather’s nice and we can make a great week-end of it,” he said.

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s…motorcycles? The second weekend of August will see an unusual group flying into town, and not on the sort of wings one might expect. The Minnesota Wings Motorcycle Club has chosen Detroit Lakes as the location for its annual gathering, bringing members from its six chapters to the area in celebration of the state’s scenic ride routes. “Each year we have a get together,” Sue Kaneski, one of this year’s coordinators, said. “We thought Detroit Lakes had a lot to offer.” Between local hotels and restaurants providing rea-sonably priced accommodations and the area’s array of picturesque lakes, trees, rivers and hills, the organizing chapter from Little Falls found it an ideal setting for a summer get together. According to Kaneski, most of the club’s 400 mem-bers ride Goldwing mo-torcycles. Although they derive their name from that particular Honda bike, they make an effort to include riders of other brands. “We welcome any mo-torcycle riders to join us,” Kaneski said. “It doesn’t have to be a Goldwing.” From August 13-15, bikers and their golden-winged counterparts will soar into town for a week-end of socializing and cycle riding, including raffles, door prizes, draw-ings, vendors, swap tables and a Sunday morning worship service. Country Inn and Suites will serve as home base for the festivities, which are, as Kaneski said, open to any motorcycle owners or riders – members or non – who register. Full weekend registra-tion is $25 and includes a Saturday dinner at The Fireside; a day pass to Get Together events can be

purchased for $10. Those interested can register online at www.mnwings.com. “We’ll be going for a ride out and around your beau-tiful hilly region,” Kaneski said, specifying that there will be rides both Friday evening and Saturday morn-ing. Saturday is also the deadline for entrance to the Cruis-ing County Courthouse Contest, which asks those inter-ested to take pictures of themselves and their bikes in front of as many of Minnesota’s 87 county courthouses as possible. Photos are to be labeled, submitted and tal-lied, winning those with the most prizes. The contest’s – and the weekend’s – purpose is to get bikers out riding and having a good time with their fel-low Goldwingers. “We aren’t a rowdy bunch,” Kaneski said. “We’re just a group of people who enjoy the fellowship of other motorcycle riders and get out and enjoy riding through beautiful Minnesota.”

The Becker Historical Society is hosting a series of “Kids Days” at the Becker County Museum through-out the month of August.

August 5, the theme will be “Walk, Ride, Drive, and Boat Travel.

August 12 will have a theme of “Games of Past and Present.”

The theme on August 19 will be “Building Becker County.”

Each day, the even will be from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.The Kid’s Days — which are in their third year —

have proved to be very popular.“There’s always fun things from dress-up to games

to play,” said Carrie Johnston, who is in charge of the Kid’s Days and serves as museum manager.

The events are usually indoors, but that can vary de-pending on the weather and the day’s scheduled activi-ties.

Johnston added that the Kid’s Days — which are free — usually attract kids “from preschool up through about 6th grade,” although, she added, teenagers some-times come as well.

“I hope we have good weather and keep it busy,” Johnston said.

“It’s been a great program.”In addition to the Kid’s Days, there will be a “Night

at the Museum” on Augusts 20 from 5 to 8 p.m. This will feature living history guided tours, inter-

active displays, and many other educational, entertain-ing choices.

“We are going to have some live actors,” Johnston said, to portray different periods in Becker County His-tory.

The cost for Night at the Museum is $10 for adults and $5 for children.

All proceeds to go benefit the Becker County Histori-cal Society.

Ready, set, go: Triathlon timeOrganizers planning on biggest event yet; two options for competition

With waters aplenty, an around-the-lake loop bikers adore and scenic running routes, Detroit Lakes might have been made with a triathlon track in mind. On Saturday, August 21, the Pavilion will serve as the starting line for this year’s Young Life Triathlon, open to everyone from annual participants pumping their way through the Tri Minnesota Series to novices chal-lenging themselves to their first three-tiered event. Event manager LuAnn Milner expects the triathlon to be bigger than in past years, bringing the opportu-nity to swim, cycle and scurry through town to more than ever before. “We’ve grown every year since we began,” Milner said, adding that she anticipates between 370 and 400 people to partake in this summer’s triathlon. Since it’s meant to appeal to all ages and athletic abil-ities, there will again be two courses to choose from. The Olympic-length Long Course consists of a 1½k swim in Detroit Lake and a 40k bike trek followed by a 10k run, which will take its followers to Dunton Locks and back. The Sprint Course, tailored to a less intense standard, instead includes a 500m swim, a 20k bike ride and a 5k run. The triathlon can also be split into sections and run as a relay for those who aren’t up to a full triad of events. This year, a relay division has been added to the Sprint Course, offering increased opportunity to get a group together. “We added the Sprint Relay just because we had a lot of requests for it,” Milner said, mentioning that it will operate like its longer counterpart, with teams of 2-3 people in male, female and mixed groups. The cost of participation is $60 for an individual and $85 for a team, and can be paid online or by mail. There will be no day-of registration, so sign-up soon.

All proceeds go toward the local leg of Young Life, an organization that establishes supportive relation-ships between leaders and kids to introduce them to Jesus Christ and help them grow into happy, confident, responsible adults. “This is a major fundraiser for the local Young Life,” Milner said, adding that all the money will stay in the community’s club. Once registration is complete, race packets will be available for pickup from 4-8 p.m. on Friday, August 20 at the DL Community Center, or at 6:30 a.m. in the band shell on race day. Check-in and body marking will also be in the band shell bright and early Saturday morning. A mandatory 7:40 meeting will preface the 8 o’clock starting gun. For those who aren’t competing, the triathlon offers a different sort of sport, aimed at watchers who don’t want to get their feet wet. “It’s a great spectator event because there’s lots of places along the lake to watch from,” Milner said. A terrific opportunity to spend the morning enjoying the final days of summer, the triathlon takes place in prime viewing locations, like around glistening Detroit Lake and over to Dunton Locks’ woodsy wonderland. Once the competitors have stroked, spun and sprint-ed to the finish line, there will be an 11:30 lunch free to all racers (and $7 for others) back at the beach, followed by an award ceremony at noon, which will bestow hon-ors on the day’s top racers. Participants are encouraged to relax after their triathlon triumph with family, friends and fun on the beach and around town. To end the summer on a healthy high note, sign up for the Young Life Triathlon and get in gear for heart-pumping exercise in the midst of DL’s picturesque panorama.

Farmers Market food demosGrowers hold appreciation day by showing how to cook fresh foods

Not only is the Lake Area Farmers Market open in Detroit Lakes City Park, the growers are thanking customers by hosting an appreciation day Saturday, Aug. 14. Area chefs will demonstrate cooking with fresh produce and have samples for everyone to see just how good fresh tastes. There will also be a drawing for a basket of donated items from the Farmer’s Market vendors. Even if you don’t win the basket though, mosey on over to the Farmers Market, where you can find all sorts of homemade and locally grown foodstuffs. The market opened for the season May 15, and is open for business from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesdays and Saturdays throughout the summer months. There are 28 full-time venders this year, enough so that organizers are looking at three rows of booths in-stead of two this year, said farmers market president Linda Leitheiser. There are also part-time venders and those who show up occasionally, she said. Not all full-timers are there at the same time, it de-pends on what they’re selling — sweet corn venders ob-viously aren’t there until the corn ripens in late July or August. Already available are venders selling fresh rhubarb,

asparagus, spinach, lettuce and other vegetables, real maple syrup and homemade doughnuts. (The dough-nuts are from Leitheiser, who made more than 1,700 dozen last year). New venders at the farmers market this year will sell homemade chips and salsa, locally-raised meat and homemade barbecue. Venders come from a 60-mile radius around Detroit Lakes and their goods are required to be grown or pro-duced at home. “You cannot bring anything in from out of state and you cannot bring anything in you have not made your-self,” Leitheiser said. “It must be your own product.” Some venders accept WIC (Women, Infants and Children) coupons, so that “mothers with small chil-dren can come out and get good, fresh produce,” she added. The market opens at 10 a.m. sharp — no early sales — in order to give all venders a chance to set up and get ready before the selling begins. “If a vender comes in and is running late, we all help them get set up — we have a good group of people here,” she said. Then a cowbell is rung and the selling starts. The farmers market is a popular place with the lo-cals, and others. “In the summertime we have a lot of tourists who come,” she said.

DLCCC training for BeardsleyTheatre hosts kids’ production of ‘The Jungle Book,’ recycling program

Summer is almost wrapping up, but we’ve got plenty left to do at the Detroit Lakes Community and Cultural Center. We’re sure to have something right up your alley! The Historic Holmes Theatre will have its last sum-mer performance before it heads into high gear with the 2010-11 Season. Come to the theatre on Aug. 19, as local children will put on their version of “The Jungle Book” at 7 p.m. After students go through a 4-day inten-sive summer camp, they will know all there is in order to put on a great show! If you know a child between the ages of 6-12 that wants to learn the artistry and craft of producing a theatrical show, including: exploring and developing characters, learning and choreographing dances, cre-ate puppets and costumes, and playing games to teach theatre skills, sign them up! Youth Theatre Camp will be run from Monday- Thursday, Aug. 16-19, from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. each day. Cost is $100/student, with a minimum of 12 and maximum of 25 participants. Tuesdays in the Park is still going strong each Tues-day night at 7 p.m., wrapping up with the final concert of the summer on Aug. 31. These free concerts feature some of the best area talent in the bandshell in the City Park. From 6-7 p.m. each Tuesday, Habitat for Human-ity is holding a picnic dinner, so there’s no need to pack a picnic basket!

Concerts in August: 3 — Purple Pan Steel Drum Band (Caribbean style drumming), 10 — Doc & the Scrubs (big band/jazz), 17 — Ulen Centennial Band (big band, jazz, classic marches, patriotic favorites and other concert band classics), 24 — Tim Eggebraaten (acoustic guitar and vocals-variety, covers and originals), and wrapping up on the 31st with the Lakes Area Community Concert Band (big band, jazz, classic marches, patriotic favor-ites and other concert band classics).

Discovery DivesDive down every weekend this summer

When summer’s heat becomes unbearable and you need a way to cool down, think deep down. Every Saturday and Sunday through Labor Day weekend, Tri-State Diving will be leading Discovery Dives in area lakes. “We’re going to try to hit a different lake each time,” certified Recreational Diving Instructor and Evaluator Gary Thompson said, adding that suggestions for div-ing locations are welcome. Designed for divers who don’t have a boat of their own or are visiting and unfamiliar with the area, Thompson has been taking divers on similar dive expe-ditions “forever.” “In this area we have some of the best freshwater div-ing in the world,” Thompson said. “We have 420 lakes within 20 miles.” Discovery Dives are open to certified divers of any age. Anyone who is not certified but would like to try scuba is welcome to call Tri-State Diving and sign up for training sessions. Divers should bring their own equipment if they have it; otherwise, rental equipment is available. “It’s a two-tank dive,” Thompson said. “We’ll dive, come up and have a pop and a snack in between, and then dive again.” Dive expeditions will take off from the dive center, located at 28300 Little Floyd Lake Road in Detroit Lakes. Groups will carpool to the week’s lake, and then take a boat to the dive spot. “We’ll get a little briefing about what they might see down there,” Thompson said, adding that they may glimpse various underwater artifacts.

This summer, anyone who wants to discover the mys-teries of the area’s deep won’t have to hold his breath. To sign up for a Discovery Dive or for more informa-tion, call Tri-State Diving at 847-4868.

Tamarac Wildlife RefugeThe nightlife can get pretty wild; come check out outdoor programs

August is the month to prepare for the cold months ahead. Spend some time in nature to rejuve-nate your spirit before the frigid temperatures arrive. Experience some vibrant early foliate color with native sumacs and observe the beauty of late summer flow-ers including yarrow, goldenrod, hoary alyssum, and woodland sunflower. Sample the fall cuisine with raspberries, gooseber-ries, elderberries, pin cherries and chokecherries that can all be found and picked south of Hwy 29 in the visi-tor area. See you at the refuge where the blacktop ends and the backwoods begins.

Wildlife Watching Here at Tamarac, wildlife is left undisturbed as they care for their young. Portions of the refuge are closed to the public during this crucial time, but many viewing opportunities still exist. The most optimum times for viewing wildlife occur around sunrise and sunset. But sometimes even an afternoon visit can be rewarding to the quiet, watchful observer. To increase your chances of seeing wildlife, take a drive on the Blackbird Auto Tour Route. This five-mile drive follows the edges of lakes, marshes and meadows. If you feel inclined to exercise, hike the two-mile long Old Indian Hiking Trail and experience the beauty of

the maple basswood forest.

Fishing Try your luck in one of our five lakes open to fishing. There are many varieties of fish to be caught includ-ing crappie, walleye, sunfish, northern pike and bass. A fishing map and regulations can be obtained at the refuge information kiosks or the visitor center.

Visitor Center If you’ve got questions, our enthusiastic staff has answers. We are eager to help you make the most of your visit. Check out our interactive exhibits and learn about the diverse habitats, which support Tamarac’s many species of wildlife. Learn about the historical use of the refuge including that of the Ojibwe Indians and the European settlers. Be sure to view our large screen presentation entitled: “Tamarac: Its Life and Legends.” Before you leave, browse in the Tamarac Bookshop. Proceeds from sales support educational programs at the refuge. The visitor center is located 9 miles north of Hwy 34. Visitor center hours are Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.–4 p.m. and weekends 10 a.m.–5 p.m.

Guided tours, special presentations and activities Wildlife Excursions will be offered every Thursday, June through August, from 10 a.m. to noon. Explore the

Saturday, Aug. 7 — 10 a.m. A Trumpeter Triumph Talk and Tour. Meet at the Tamarac Visitor Center and discover the world of trumpeter swans, North America’s larg-est waterfowl species.

Photo Contest You are invited to participate in Tamarac’s 8th an-nual Amateur Photo Contest. There are five catego-ries this year: Wildlife, Plant Life, Scenic, Nature’s Abstracts and Recreation.

Friday, Aug. 13 — 8-10 p.m. Tamarac Twilight Hike. Join us for an evening of dis-covery at the Tamarac Visitor Center. While most critters are settling in for a night of rest, oth-ers are just waking up! Learn about Tamarac’s nightlife and how they adapt to the darkness of night. Use your senses and be-come part of their world. Meet at the visitor center to carpool to hiking location. Bring a flash-light and insect repellent.

Sunday, Aug. 15 — 2 p.m. Going Green in a Changing Climate. How is global climate change affecting wildlife and wildlands? Learn about some of the latest research going on in distant lands and right here at Tamarac. Then find out how you can make a difference by leav-ing a smaller “carbon footprint” on the planet. Sandy Gunderson of Becker County Environmental Services will show you that it’s easy being green. Meet at the Tamarac Visitor Center.

Tuesday, Aug. 24 — 1 p.m. Wet and Wild: Macroinvertebrates! Explore Jim’s Marsh and discover tiny critters, which provide food and cover for fish and other ani-mals. You’ll collect invertebrates using a dip net and will have the opportunity to sketch these animals and identify them by using a key. See how many you can

find. A great family activity presented by MinnAqua in-structor Jess Johnson at the Tamarac Visitor Center.

Sunday Movies, 2 p.m. Aug. 1: Planet Earth — Seasonal Forests. Investigate temperate regions and find some of the most elusive creatures and well-adapted plant life on earth.

Tamarac’s wild nightlife

Continued on page 32


On a sun-filled afternoon Tamarac will receive many visitors seeking to find wildlife in the great out-doors. However, just because we go to sleep at night, doesn’t mean all of Minnesota’s wildlife does the same. The evening in a forest is a thrilling new world with a unique set of sights and sounds. In fact some of the prime wildlife viewing, or listen-ing opportunities exist in the hours of darkness. Here are some wildlife calls and sightings that can be found on the refuge when the sun sets. Loon Calls: There is probably nothing more dis-tinctive in the northern wilderness than the call of the loon. The loon has four basic calls. The tremolo, which sounds like quivering laughter, is a sound of alarm and aggression. This is also the call a loon performs when flying. The “wail” is the long lonely call used to com-municate over distance. The “yodel” is used by males to guard their territory. Finally the “hoot” a shorter call, is used to communicate with the young. Wolf Howls: Wolves are some of the most social and vocal mammals. Howling is used to identify one another, celebrate a successful hunt and find other pack members. The low pitch and long duration of a howl are well suited for transmission in forest and across tundra. Because wolves range over vast areas to find food, they are often separated from one another. Howling serves as the glue that keeps a pack physically

together. Wolves are sometimes even responsive to a human howling. Owls: The word owl comes from the old English word ule, which means to howl. Minnesota has twelve different owl species that are active in the darkness of Tamarac’s forests. Owl calls can be heard on the refuge that range from rapid whistles, long piercing screeches and gentle softer hoots. The two most common species on the refuge are the barred owl and the great horned owl. The barred owl has a call that sounds like it is say-ing “who cooks for you?” While the great horned owl call is from 3 to 8 hoots, most often six. It is called a “hootie” or hoot owl because its call is a deep who–who HOO-HOO. Because these creatures are active mainly by night, counter to our diurnal activity, they are often misun-derstood and considered evil — blood sucking bats, the Big Bad Wolf. Though these are fascinating creatures that have adapted themselves to the night in order to reduce overall competition for resources among other species; it allows animals with similar food sources, such as hawks and owls, to live within the same habi-tat. Tamarac is holding a Twilight Hike on Aug. 13, where we will become a part of the refuge’s wild night life. We will learn how to sing to the loons, wolves, and owls and about many nocturnal animal adaptations to darkness. We will meet at the visitor center at 8 p.m. Don’t forget your flashlight!
