Local Chefs Pleased with New Food Line

By Joan Farnam

It’s much more beneficial for me.”

Cook County restaurants, health care facilities, schools and convenience stores have new options on the table, thanks to Upper Lakes Foods.

She’s also looking forward to having access to a variety of ethnic products they couldn’t get through other suppliers.

The family-owned food distributor based in Cloquet, has recently launched a completely new line of foods for their customers—organic, natural, gluten-free and non-GMO products.

“I’ll be able to make more Thai soups or curry soups,” she said, and the menu will probably be expanded.

“It opens up a whole new world for a lot of people,” said Erin Bradshaw director of marketing for Upper Lakes Foods.

Ed Straub, who co-owns Harbor House Grille with his wife, Cindy, said he’s looking forward to the new marketplace as well.

Called “Natural Marketplace,” the new service was launched at the DECC in Duluth Nov. 5 at the company’s food show. It offers a selection of more than 30,000 bulk and grab ‘n’ go natural, organic and speciality products online. It also features a wide variety of gluten and allergen free, kosher and ethnic items which can often be difficult for foodservice operators to find.

“You can order as little as one thing,” he said.

“Before it wasn’t even available.”

Shele Tofte of Dockside Fish Market said she attended the food show at the DECC as well and was quite impressed with the Natural Marketplace line. “A lot of the stuff I’ll wait until spring to start,” she said, “But we’re go-

“We are very excited to launch Natural Marketplace as an extension to our line,” Bradshaw said in a telephone interview recently.

The company has also established partnerships with farmers in the area, including Locally Laid Eggs, a Wrenshall egg farm that is making national news as it vies for a spot on the Superbowl advertising line-up, one of four small businesses in the country that has been offered the opportunity.

“Locally Laid was really a good fit for us,” she said. “It will open everybody’s eyes to sustainable agriculture.”

Other regional farms partnering with Upper Lakes include Thousand Hills Beef and Ferndale Farms Turkey, both from Cannon Falls, and Prairie Chicken of Superior, Wis. It’s a little early to tell how popular the Natu-

She said the grab ’n’ go items interested her, too, like gluten-free whole-grain crackers and chips and and maybe even a seasoned dried kale chip.

“This whole thing is such a good fit for this community,” she said.

Chris Nies, chef at Papa Charlie’s said he, too, is looking forward to the new options at Upper Lake Foods. “I’ve known about this for awhile and I’ve been very excited,” he said.

“I can’t wait to get some of those healthier, gluten-free foods on the menu. Where this is really going to pay off is for the hikers and skiers at the Summit Chalet. They’re going to be able to get a wide variety of natural, organic foods now.”

The Natural Market program is really just getting started, Bradshaw said.

“We’re always looking for more. We’re a local, family owned company – it’s important to look. It’s the reason we got into a natural market in the first place. It’s what people want now, too. And we’re looking for that trend to grow.”

Beat Holiday Stress

By Amy Schmidt You’ve likely experienced some form of dreaded holiday stress, but you may not recognize it. Even worse, you may not know coping strategies that allow you to handle the stress of the holidays with a smile.

Stress can manifest itself in many ways, causing headaches, chest pain, muscle tension, change in sex drive and sleep problems.

Anxiety, lack of motivation, angry outbursts, overeating, substance abuse and social withdrawal are all common responses to stress.

And, perhaps worst of all, stress can cause you to not enjoy, even hate, what should be pleasant situations, such as family gatherings.

Writing this article was incredibly stressful.

I love to write, but putting this article together made me want to tear my hair out. I spent much time staring at the insidious blinking cursor on my blank computer screen (it blinks 57 times in a minute) and sighing pathetically to myself. I am pretty sure I lost at least a day of my life and ate more than my share of chocolate-covered blueberries to the agony of it all.

How ironic that I should be stressed about an article about stress. Then I realized the strategies for overcoming stress were right in front of me. So I used them to beat writer’s block.

While a work deadline is no comparison to the stress some people experience during the holidays, you can use the following strategies to find a little comfort and joy.

Make an outline. With all the things to be done during the holidays, it is easy to spiral into out-of-control mode. But if you take a little time to outline what needs to be done, it helps organize your thoughts and gives you a clear picture of the “to do’s.” This helps you set priorities and decide what you may delegate to others. Focusing on just the next thing that needs doing, rather than the entire list, can be enormously helpful.

Clear your mind. Stress can keep you from getting things done, thus creating more stress as the deadline or activity approaches. If you take time to do something enjoyable it may keep you from engaging in unproductive stress-related activities (counting the comHOLIDAY STRESS continued on page 16 »

Historical Society Takes Past into Future

By Joan Farnam

in mid-November and invited the community to come look at the possibilities and sign up for the task force that interested them.

An organization that specializes in the past is planning for the future.

The recently acquired blacksmith shop has really energized the community and drew a lot of attention at the open house.

But the other sites offered interesting challenges as well.

The task forces will work this winter and develop an action timeline check list for each site, McHugh said.

The Cook County Historical Society has launched a longrange plan to develop their four major properties and retell their stories so they’re alive and interesting for generations to come.

It’s history in the making, so to speak, and it isn’t being done in a vacuum.

What’s really fun is the new Passport Into the Past: Travel Through Time page on the website.

On the contrary, the Historical Society continues to involve the community every step of the way, said Carrie McHugh, museum director.

“Yes, we’re collecting and preserving,” she said. “But it’s the sharing part—the stories—that’s going to draw the interest of residents and visitors, and keep an active society going. Hence our new website, and we’ve got a Facebook page now. It’s a new way to reach people.”

Historical Society director, Carrie McHugh, shows off some recent acquistions. | Joan Farnam

The new website gives the public easy access to hundreds of photographs and historical details, videos and recordings from their collections, as well as inviting everyone to tell their own stories and post them on the site.

Dan Helmerson has volunteered to run the Facebook page, and he posts photos and historical tidbits on it regularly.

The society is developing new exhibits, including a Maritime Exhibit, centered around the historic Fresnel lens which was removed from the Grand Marais lighthouse in 2012 and now sits in the Museum. The exhibit will tell the stories of people who lived beside the Big Lake – the boats that brought them here, the fish they caught, the lives they led.

The society has held several workshops to talk about what would be important in a maritime exhibit. They recruited members of the community, including Howard Sivertson, into an active role in developing the exhibit.

The big step is the long-range plan, which has been in the works for awhile.

The Historical Society received a grant to hire a consultant to work with community members about what could be done with their four properties: The Light Keeper’s House Museum, the Chippewa City Church, the Bally Blacksmith Shop and the Fish House and tug, The Neegee, at the Rec Park.

The focus groups came up with recommendations for both short-term and long-term plans, but the next step is to set up task forces for each site, McHugh said.

To that end, the Historical Society organized an open house

The Passport program was set up about 12 years ago for K-5 students to learn more about the history of Cook County, McHugh said. It was a great idea, but it’s difficult for teachers to arrange field trips to all the historic sites in the county—from Sugarloaf Cove to the Grand Portage Monument, the Chippewa Church to the Gunflint Trail—19 in all.

Leah Thomas was hired to redevelop the Passport Program and include it on the new website.

“It was the biggest one and the most fun,” Thomas said. She decided to add a lot of support materials for teachers, and set it up so their students could add their own stories.

Thomas also made a series of fascinating videos about the Passport sites, with great old photos and historic facts. And they decided to offer access to the Passport site to other interpretive centers so they could add their own materials. ChikWauk, the Cross River Heritage Center, Sugarloaf Cove, the North Shore Commercial Fishing Museum, the Grand Portage Monument, the Tribal Museum and the Grand Portage Visitor Center all have their pages on the site, and are just beginning to add their own materials.

Chik-Wauk, for example, has uploaded some of their videos, and the Grand Portage State Park is helping kids add their stories and photos.

“It will just be a phenomenal resource for teachers and students,” Thomas said. “And, as time goes by, there will be more and more information on there.”

In short, as McHugh put it: “The Historical Society is alive and well. We want everybody to get on board—that’s what will keep us going.”

New Festival Takes November by Storm

By Erin Altemus November gales on Lake Superior make for dramatic weather: massive waves, gusting winds, driving rain and snow squalls that swell into the occasional blizzard. In the tip of the Arrowhead, everyone loves to talk weather, and this made the newest festival to hit town seem fitting. The first Lake Superior Storm Festival marked the 100th anniversary of the White Hurricane of 1913, one of the deadliest weather events in Great Lakes history.

Sandra Updyke Photographer Have you always lived in Cook County?

I was born and raised here, and I’m still here.

What projects are you currently working on?

The odds and ends of the Hovland Holiday Sale (Nov. 30). I run the whole Christmas show completely by myself. I just finished working on photographs for the Frozen Photographers show at the Johnson Heritage Post and the Members Show at the Grand Marais Art Colony.

Typically, I just go out on a daily basis and try to find something interesting to take a picture of.

I love Lake Superior and really craggy rocks and gnarly trees. My favorite thing to do is to take pictures of wildlife, but you can’t always find them out there.

What about your art continues to attract and fascinate you?

I went to photography from painting … it was something I could pick up and just do. And it’s a good excuse to get out in the woods. For me, it’s more about a lifestyle in our area – interactions with nature and the animals and that sort of thing.

Where can we see you work?

At the Hovland Art Festival, The Garage and Stone Harbor Wilderness Supply. I have prints on metal and canvas and matted photos. I also still have copies of my (self-published) books: “Fox Tails,” “More Fox Tails” and “Wild Nature.”

The combination of shipwreck stories, a “Wave Dash,” and Boreal Cyclone Pie, made the first Storm Festival “a huge success,” said Shelby Gonzalez, marketing manager at Cook County Visitor’s Bureau. Storm Festival was her brain child.

“We had more participation than expected, both from the community and local businesses, and we were pleasantly surprised by the turn-out and enthusiasm for the idea in general,” Gonzalez said.

Gonzalez developed the idea after visiting the Oregon coast.

Many coastal towns, like Grand Marais, rely on tourism for much of their economy. One town boasted a business that gave storm-watching tours. In November, the North Shore has a dip in visitors after the fall colors fade, and warm, sunny days disappear. But we still have spectacular weather, and Gonzalez and her team capitalized on this to create a new event.

“We wanted to move people between communities,” Gonzalez said.

Events were held in Grand Marais and Lutsen. The Wave Dash saw 35 people plunge into icy Lake Superior at the Lutsen Resort beach. Wave dashers donated money to participate, and their generosity and bravery raised more than $400 for the Cook County Food Shelf and the YMCA Lifeguard Scholarship Fund. Stone Harbor Wilderness Supply in Grand

Marais invented and hosted “Taking Fashion

by Storm,” an outdoor clothing fashion show.

Cascade Restaurant and Pub held the Lake Superior Songwriter’s Shindig where local and visiting musicians sang a vigorous rendition of “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald” among other stormy tunes.

Other events included eating Boreal Cyclone Pie – created by the Pie Place Cafe specifically for this event – while local expert Jim Shinners told the story of the Great White Hurricane of 1913, and photographer Paul Sundberg showed photos of North Shore scenery and storms.

Megan Lehto models fall Locals and visitors alike sportswear at the Stone Harbor can appreciate a new op- fashion show. | MARK TESSIER portunity to experience Superior’s more wild side.

Thankfully, there are fewer shipwrecks these days, but the history of lighthouses and their keepers, sunken boats, and epoch storms continue to stir our imaginations.

“Next year, we want to make it bigger and better,” Gonzalez said, “spanning even more of the North Shore community.”

» HOLIDAY STRESS continued from page 16 puter cursor rate while gobbling down chocolate-covered blueberries). Doing so may give you the motivation needed to move forward.

Admit it. The holidays are supposed to be a joyous time. But

if you are stressed, you certainly aren’t enjoying it and may even feel guilty as a result. Reaching out to a trusted family member, friend (or in my case, co-worker) and admitting your difficulty, to yourself as well as the friend, often makes the load seem lighter. They may have a different and perhaps better perspective than you. They may be struggling with stress, too.

They can brainstorm stress-relieving ideas with you. Just the admission and acceptance of stress can help burn it out.

Get moving. That is to say, exercise. Research is unending on the benefits of exercise. From yoga to shooting hoops to running and even walking, exercise does wonders for combating stress. Exercise releases those feel-good neurotransmitters called endorphins (often called “runner’s high”), acts as meditation in motion, improves your mood and restores healthy sleep patterns. Exercise also helps us maintain a healthy weight during holiday eating, a stressful concept in itself.

These strategies not only got me through the stress of writing this article, but more important, turned it into an enjoyable task. Perhaps they’ll help you find some comfort and joy in this holiday season.
