Cohasset couple’s Fourth of July celebration raises $4,200 for cancer fund

COHASSET—Kurt and Julie Rohloff of Cohasset turned their annual Fourth of July gathering for family and friends into a fundraiser this year in honor of America’s 250th anniversary. The Rohloffs sold commemorative hats, with all proceeds going to the Itasca Area Cancer Crisis Fund (IACCF). With support from family and friends, the effort raised $4,200.

Eligible IACCF applicants who are veterans will receive an additional $100 beyond the fund’s standard $500 grant. Kurt Rohloff served in the Air Force. The fund thanked the Rohloffs for their support. The foundation said the money will provide financial relief to individuals and families dealing with cancer. IACCF welcomes opportunities to work with community members on local fundraising efforts. Questions or fundraising ideas can be directed to the Grand Rapids Area Community Foundation at 218-999-9100.

Governor’s Deer Hunting Opener returns to Grand Rapids

GRAND RAPIDS—With about 400,000 hunters expected in the woods this weekend, state conservation officials, tourism leaders and hunting groups gathered in Grand Rapids on Thursday for the annual Governor’s Deer Hunting Opener, held ahead of Saturday’s start of firearms deer season. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and Explore Minnesota hosted a listening session at Timberlake Lodge with invited conservation organizations, Tribal partners and local businesses, followed by media interviews. A public Deer Opener Pint Night at Rapids Brewing Company, hosted by Backcountry Hunters and Anglers, the Minnesota Deer Hunters Association and the Minnesota Wildlife Federation, capped the evening. Gov. Tim Walz was unable to attend because of schedule conflicts, according to a later DNR statement. In a statement released ahead of the event, he encouraged hunters to buy licenses through the state’s new electronic licensing system. “Deer opener is one of Minnesota’s great traditions,” Walz said. “There’s nothing more Minnesotan than spending time with family and friends in the woods, breathing in the crisp autumn air, and enjoying the outdoors together.” DNR Commissioner Sarah Strommen said the gathering was a chance to reaffirm shared conservation goals. “We’re thrilled to join conservation partners and community members in Grand Rapids to

Bovey cattery breeds Maine Coons with a focus on health

BOVEY — For Holly Buescher, the love of Maine Coons began with one very special cat, but it has grown into something much bigger than she ever imagined. Today, through TheraCoonzzz of Minnesota, she shares that same love with families across the country, one kitten and one forever home at a time. What began as a dream of owning a Maine Coon has blossomed into a small, family-centered TICA-registered cattery in Bovey, Minnesota, built around the belief that "every kitten deserves the very best beginning, and every family deserves to feel supported long after the excitement of bringing their new companion home." The name TheraCoonzzz was inspired by Buescher's first Maine Coon, Eddie, who became her constant companion while she worked from home during the COVID-19 pandemic. His comforting presence, affectionate personality and unmistakable bond with her inspired the name and eventually the dream of sharing the breed's special qualities with others. "They're more like a dog," Buescher said. "They follow you everywhere. They want to be by you." It didn't take long for her to realize that she wanted other families to experience that same kind of companionship and unconditional love. A dream that grew Buescher fell in love

Swan Lake Country Club gets new preservation fund through community foundation

PENGILLY—The Grand Rapids Area Community Foundation has established a charitable fund to support maintenance and improvements at Swan Lake Country Club in Pengilly. The Swan Lake Country Club Preservation Fund will provide money for the club’s ongoing upkeep, facility improvements and long-term preservation. The club is a nonprofit, public nine-hole golf course. Because the fund is set up through the foundation, community members can donate directly toward the course’s care. “Swan Lake Country Club has been an important part of our community for generations, and creating this fund is something we’ve wanted to do for a long time,” said Mike Anderson, the club’s president. “We wanted to find a way to ensure this special place continues to be here for future generations—not only for golf, but for recreation, connection, health and wellness, and the many ways it brings people together.” The foundation said the fund will address both current and future needs, such as improvements that keep the course accessible to players of all skill levels.
