My wife and I made a trip up north to see Michael Bolton at the Grand Casino Mille Lacs in Onamia on Saturday. We witnessed all the fall colors along the way. Some areas were very vibrant still, but other areas have seen their peak for the season. Across much of central and west central Minnesota, the DNR shows that the colors are at 50% to 70% peak, with again, some locations already at the peak. The best spot to see the fall colors right now are a few pockets in extreme western and southern Minnesota.

Belview GRACE LUTHERAN CHURCH Sundays: 9 a.m. Holy Communion, 10:15 a.m.

Over the course of the summer, production of a film has been taking place in Litchfield, Minnesota. The film is based on the novel “Uprising”, written by Minnesota House of Representatives Dean Urdahl. The basis of the novel involves the history of the Dakota War, with the “Uprising” story beginning in 1862. The news of the movie’s production drew attention early on from the Upper Sioux Community Board of Trustees, who met with Urdahl in mid-August to address their concerns. The Board of Trustees provided a written statement in which they wrote, “We expressed our opposition to the book and the filming of the movie. The Upper Sioux Community governing body is not interested in promoting the portrayal of what we believe to be the start of a genocide of Dakota people. A “fair and equal” story extends years prior to the Dakota War and 160 years after the Dakota War, particularly treatment of treaties starting in 1805, government policies of assimilation/ genocide, and Indian Termination policy in the years to follow. Our position expressed to Mr. Urdahl, had no weight on if it should be filmed or not. It would have happened with our support or not.”
