Arboretum announces new art exhibition

The Morton Arboretum today announced its next large-scale sculpture exhibition, Of the Earth, which will feature five exclusive new works by Polish-American artist Olga Ziemska, opening May 26, 2023.

“Olga will bring a fresh and evocative new display to The Morton Arboretum’s art exhibition program, which has enhanced the guest experience among our tree collections,” said Preston Bautista, Ph.D., the Arboretum’s vice president of learning and engagement.

In Polish, Ziemska means “of the earth.” Her work will be created from reclaimed tree branches and other natural materials gathered from various locations throughout the Arboretum’s 1,700 acres. Ziemska said that some of the Arboretum’s tree-filled landscapes inspired her because they reminded her of the landscapes of Poland, where she has previously lived and regularly visits her family.

Ziemska said that her aim is to

remind people, “Everything in life is derived from the same basic elements that form everything in nature, including ourselves. There is no separation.” This will be the Cleveland, Ohio-based artist’s largest public exhibition to date.

Ziemska has built a career in the male-dominated art world, exploring her multiple identities as a first-generation child of Polish immigrants, an American, an artist, a woman and a human. She has exhibited and created public installations in Poland, Taiwan, Italy, South Korea, Mexico and other locations globally in a career spanning more than 20 years.

“The experience of art paired with nature throughout the Arboretum has been very appealing to both frequent visitors and those coming for the very first time,” said Bautista. “We are continuing this approach of one-of-a-kind exhibitions aligned with the Arboretum’s mission that really motivate

Resolve to make a difference in 2023 by volunteering with the American Red Cross

As we near the end of 2022 and begin to think about our New Year’s resolutions, the American Red Cross asks that you consider making a meaningful choice by becoming a Red Cross volunteer.

Locally, over 3,600 people volunteer with the Red Cross. These local volunteers are part of the almost 300,000 people across the country whose support enables the Red Cross to respond to an average of more than 60,000 disasters every year and deliver more than 6.4 million blood products to hospital patients in need. Volunteers also help train more than 4.6

million people in Red Cross lifesaving skills; help provide nearly 550,000 services to military members, veterans and their families; and to reconnect almost 9,000 families separated by war or disaster around the world.

“Our Red Cross volunteers step up to help our neighbors here in Chicagoland and across the state each and every day,” said Celena Roldán, chief executive officer of the American Red Cross of Illinois “In the last year, volunteers responded to 1,721 disasters and helped over 8,000 people affected by tornadoes, floods, and home fires. Just imagine the im-

pact you could make in 2023 by joining us as a volunteer.”

Volunteering is good for you and our community. The top five benefits of resolving to volunteer in 2023 include:

Meeting new people. Our volunteers are amazing individuals with diverse backgrounds that are inspired to give back, just like you.

Learning new skills. Red Cross volunteer positions include free training and provide an opportunity to experience new adventures.

Being part of something larger. Become a vital part of the Red Cross and our mission to prevent and alleviate human suffering.

Making a difference in someone’s life. Whether you are helping a family that just had a home fire or supporting the collection of lifesaving blood, your impact is real.

Staying active. Many volunteer roles require physical activity which is great for your overall health.

Training is free, but the hope you provide as a Red Cross volunteer is priceless. Visit redcross.org/volun-

teertoday to get started.

RUTTEN

James (Jim) Bradley Rutten, age 86, departed poetically with the setting sun on November 30th 2022, surrounded by his wife and children. The family gathered at his side during his final days is testament to a life well-lived with love, consideration, and a profound sense of duty.

Jim was the third of thirteen children, born July 24, 1936, in Osakis MN to Walter and Marion (Arntson) Rutten. He grew up in Plainfield, IL and spent summers and holidays at the family cabin in Osakis, MN. Jim attended and played football for Notre Dame University, served in the US Army during the Budapest Uprising, and attended St John’s & Lewis Universities. Jim married June Felling in Sauk Centre, MN in 1962. They raised 7 children in Plainfield, IL. He led his family’s silo business, Railoc Inc., and was awarded businessman of the year by Lewis University. He was heavily involved in the community serving on school & hospital boards, as a Eucharistic minister, and an active member of the Knights of Columbus. After their children were grown, Jim and June relocated to Sauk Centre, Minnesota. Jim and June owned the historic Palmer House hotel, and Jim found purpose as a farm appraiser, working until age 84. A universal donor, Jim regularly

OBITUARY

donated blood to the Red Cross and was recently recognized for his generosity.

Jim built his life on a foundation of Catholic faith and quiet devotion, and his celebration of mystery carried him through the pain and joy of his life. An enthusiastic observer of nature, Jim frequently pointed out the beauty and divinity of the natural world. An endlessly curious lifelong learner, Jim found joy in gathering and sharing information, and remaking broken or discarded objects for new use. He enjoyed music, traveling, being outdoors, hunting, fishing, nature photography, watching football and spending time with family. Jim and June spent winters in Hawaii, kayaking with whales and devoutly watching the sun slide off the edge of the Pacific horizon.

Jim’s love lives on in the hearts and traditions of his wife of 60 years, June (Felling) Rutten, and his children Briget Rutten, Gretchen (Mark) DeCraene, Fr. Erich Rutten, Stephanie (Tony) Liberko , Bradley Rutten, Derek (Lila) Rutten and Molly Rutten (Devon Alexander).

Jim is survived by his exceptional grandchildren, Nicholas, Jack, and Adam DeCraene, Sofia Liberko, Julian and Chloe Rutten, and Oskar, Clara, Hazel, Linus, and Poppy Alexander. Jim is also survived by his siblings Donna (Pete) Bessette,

Delores ‘Snooks’ Joyce, Gerry Kelly, Louise ‘Weese’ (Terry) Drauden, Timothy (Brent) Polivany, Christine (Daryl) Eastburg, Dot (John) Forrest and Jon (Connie) Rutten as well as brother-in-law David J Olderman. He was preceded in death by his sisters Jean Olderman, Jude (Rick) Bilyeu, and brothers Peter T. and Walter ‘Butch’ Rutten, and brotherin-law Bob Kelly.

Even in death, Jim’s commitment to the environment was evident in his request for a green burial. Immediately upon his passing, a funeral mass was held at his bedside. His son, Fr Erich Rutten presided; June and daughter Gretchen cantored, accompanied by the choir of their children. He was laid to rest, without preservation, in a beautiful handwoven seagrass casket and buried directly in the earth with his collection of pine cones and rocks on the morning of December 2.

His memorial mass will be held at 12:00pm on December 28, 2022 at St. Paul’s Catholic Church in Sauk Centre, MN preceded by a visitation at 11:00am. A live stream will be available for those unable to travel at this time.
