The Parks & Trails Council of Minnesota and Wilderness Inquiry teamed up recently to provide memorable experienc-es for countless people of all ages at the former Boy Scout Camp near Lake Shetek State Park. That would not have been possible if the Parks & Trails Council of Minnesota hadn’t stepped up to purchase the land when it came up for sale in October 2020. President Brett Feldman said the organization paid a record-high $1.85 million for the 24.5 acres of land. “We placed our winning bid right un-der this tree,” Feldman said on Saturday. “This was our largest single purchase in the history of our organization.” Feldman explained that the Parks & Trails Council of Min-nesota had been around since 1954 and that private money is raised to purchase land for public parks and trails. “We’ve grown a land fund over the years that’s now worth about $5.2 million and it’s a revolv-ing fund, so we will sometimes have $5 million in land and $200,000 in cash or the other way around,” he said. “At the time this went to auction, we were stretched to the brink. We only had two months’ no-tice it was going to auction, so we stretched ourselves, which meant other active projects were threatened, but private donors came through.” Thanks to that dedication, people can continue to en-joy outdoor recreation there for generations to come. Last week, hundreds of local school children were expected to take for future generations,” said Katie Chapman, director of environmental learning for Shetek Lutheran Ministries. “Between the old growth forest, pristine shoreline, historic campsites, archaeological importance and so much more, students were able to connect with and understand both the beauty and significance of the land itself.”

By Jenny Kirk Representatives of the Ondini Circuit of South Africa recently came together with the dual intention of reviving their 15-plus year partnership to continue growing in their faith together. The Lake Shetek Conference — the Southwestern Minnesota Synod of Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) which includes congregations in the counties of Cottonwood, Jackson, Nobles, Murray, Pipestone and Rock — and the Ondini Circuit — the South Eastern Diocese of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Southern Africa (ELCSA) which encompasses 60 congregations and 12 parishes — began their unique partnership in 2009 but communication efforts have dwindled somewhat since COVID-19 hit, so they are looking to reaffirm their commitments to each other.

For immediate release – Domestic violence affects millions of individuals, families, and children - of every race, religion, culture and status every year. It’s not just punches and black eyes -- it’s yelling, humiliation, stalking, manipulation, coercion, threats and isolation. It’s stealing a paycheck, keeping tabs online, non-stop texting, constant use of the silent treatment, or calling someone stupid so often they believe it.
