Veterans Day programs set Wednesday in Itasca County

GRAND RAPIDS — Robert J. Elkington Middle School will hold its annual Veterans Day program at 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 11, in the school gymnasium. Grand Rapids Area Schools is inviting the entire community to attend. The school’s program is one of several Veterans Day events planned in the area. Other ceremonies are set for Wednesday morning at Rapids Brewing Co. in Grand Rapids and at the Greenway Auditorium in Coleraine. Many area businesses and restaurants are also offering free or discounted meals to veterans. Veterans Day is a federal holiday observed each year on Nov. 11 to honor all military veterans who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces, living and deceased, in wartime or peacetime. It differs from Memorial Day, observed in May, which specifically remembers service members who died while serving. Veterans Day is commonly marked with parades, memorial services and community events, as well as a national wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery. RJEMS program Angela Berg, a math teacher who coordinates the middle school event, said the school has welcomed the public to the program for as long as she has worked in the building, almost 10 years.

Remembering Hibbing, Chisholm World War II centenarians

HIBBING/CHISHOLM—On this Veterans Day 2026, thoughts turn to World War II, which ended 81 years ago. About 16.4 million Americans served in the armed forces during World War II. Fewer than 0.2% of those original service members—approximately 30,607 American World War II veterans—are still living. Six years ago, it was my distinct privilege to interview then-99-year-old Joseph Berklich at his home in Hibbing. He lived to age 101, and his Chisholm friend William Loushine lived to age 102. — William “Bill” Loushine was born on February 3, 1921, and died on February 26, 2023, in Chisholm. He was 102. Joseph “Joe” Berklich was born on February 24, 1921, and died on May 31, 2022, at his home in Hibbing. He was 101. — In 2023, someone shared these heartfelt words on the Rupp Funeral Home website: “God bless you, Mr. Loushine! You were a great person.” The words were in tribute to William “Bill” Loushine, age 102, lifelong resident of Chisholm, who died February 26, 2023. Mr. Loushine had lived more than a century, and his mind remained active until God called him home. A year earlier, another shared these words on the Dougherty Funeral Home website in tribute to

Stone ending 16-year tenure with Cable Natural History Museum

For Emily Stone, the connections are clear. She traces them past the food web, “a thousand steps farther,” all the way to the stars. “We wouldn’t have iron for our blood unless there were supernovas. Our solar system was made out of the cloud of dust from a previously exploded star,” she said. “Everything just keeps getting recycled. “And then all of that energy that comes in from the sun just keeps getting passed around through all of life, and some of it escapes back into space. Everything’s connected.” After 16 years as naturalist and education director at the Cable Natural History Museum, Stone will leave the job Dec. 31. She is moving to Silver Bay, Minn., to be with her fiance and to take a sabbatical “until the finances run out.” The tagline on her Substack page sums up her worldview: “A shimmering web of relationships connects everything.” Mimi Crandall, a museum board member, called Stone 16 years ago to offer her the job. “We were looking for an education director at the time as well as a naturalist,” Crandall said. “She said, ‘I don’t want to be the education director. I want to be a naturalist. I want
