Episode 115--Kyle Johnson is relatively new to the Boundary Waters, but so far has experienced the wilderness in all seasons, including solo trips in early spring and late fall. Kyle sets the scene for a recent outing in late October, where he encountered extreme quiet conditions, the mid-stages of wildfire ecology after the Ham Lake fire of 2007, a night perfect for astro photography, plus a wide range of temperatures. Kyle also shares the exciting story of catching his first walleye--one of the rare, blue walleyes who live in certain lakes in northern Minnesota and Canada. (Photo courtesy of Kyle Johnson)

More than twenty years ago, a bizarre confluence of meteorological events resulted in the most damaging blowdown in Minnesota's Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness's history. It traveled 1,300 miles and lasted 22 hours, flattening nearly 500,000 acres of the Superior National Forest. Hundreds of campers and paddlers were stranded and dozens injured; amazingly, no one died. The historic storm ultimately reshaped the region's forests in ways we have yet to fully understand. Here, author Cary J. Griffith is joined in conversation with scientist Lee Frelich and Peter Leschak, who was involved in the response and rescue effort.Cary Griffith is author of several novels and four books of nonfiction, including Gunflint Falling: Blowdown in the Boundary Waters and Gunflint Burning: Fire in the Boundary Waters. He is recipient of a Minnesota Book Award and a Midwest Book Award.Lee Frelich is director of the Center for Forest Ecology at the University of Minnesota. He is listed among the top 1% of scientists in the Web of Science, Ecology, and Environment and has authored more than 200 publications, and has been featured in the New York Times, Newsweek, and the Washington Post.Peter Leschak was chief of the French Township fire department in Side Lake, Minnesota, for thirty years. He has written ten books and has worked in a variety of wildfire-related capacities and held positions of leadership in the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and the U.S. Forest Service.Gunflint Falling: Blowdown in the Boundary Waters is available from University of Minnesota Press."In the tradition of The Perfect Storm, Cary J. Griffith brings readers into the Boundary Waters moment by moment as an epic gale sweeps through. Ample maps and in-depth interviews with witnesses both immerse us in one terrifying day and offer a glimpse of the past and future of Minnesota's boreal forest."—Kim Todd, author of Sensational: The Hidden History of America's “Girl Stunt Reporters”"In Gunflint Falling, Cary J. Griffith provides an accurate, comprehensive narrative of those impacted by one of the region's most devastating storms. The damage and pain brought by the derecho storm was more severe than anything previously experienced in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. The reader is taken into the personal experiences of the injured and those searching for them for fourteen days in the million-acre wilderness, and Griffith's narrative of these experiences demonstrates how, when faced with an emergency, we come together to help one another."—Jim Sanders, retired forest supervisor, Superior National Forest (1996-2011), USDA Forest Service

How many times have you and I been faced with an uncomfortable confrontation regarding our beliefs?

But we're all called to represent Christ and the gospel of truth, regardless of how uncomfortable it can be at times. Joining us today is Dr. Tod Warner, a writer, speaker, professor, and practicing internal medicine physician. Dr. Worner is leading a talk through the Church of St. Paul in Ham Lake centered on how we can have the courage to speak the truth with grace (which, let's be honest, we all could use some pointers!).

When their secret son doesn't want to be adopted by his new (but real) father, bitterness grows in the home.

Many of you are in on the joke about the name of this show.  Pork Pond is the nickname of the real city I live in which is Ham Lake, Minnesota (population 17,230).  Being a small town there are a lot of us who are not nationally famous (ok, the vast majority of u aren't).  That said, one of our own is recognizable for those that enjoy comedy in this country and that is, Andy Erikson.  Perhaps you saw her on Last Comic Standing in 2015 where, against all odds. she placed in the top five.  Perhaps you remember her performance on the Ryan Murphy produced T.V show Scream Queens. In either case you likely remembered her.  In this episode I get the distinct honor of speaking with Andy about growing up in Ham Lake, discovering her comedic genius and her career.  We also talk about being funny in the age of COVID, her Marfan Syndrome diagnosis and the best heckle she ever had.  I hope you enjoy this episode.Facebook InstagramShe's a Car!

Artist, poet, and activist Dougie Padilla recommends a visit to ArtReach St. Croix in Stillwater to see the exhibit “Jim Denomie, Sweet Dreams,” which runs through May 7. Denomie passed away March 1. Padilla, his longtime friend, said Denomie was a “truly brilliant painter” and “a sweet and gentle man, a blessing to many in many different communities.” “Jim was also the master of his own style of portraiture, and of what can only be called Dreamworld painting. With his own unique palette of blues and purples, pinks and oranges, greens and golds, Jim told stories that came out of some deep underground stream from far down inside his psyche, in the psyche of his Ojibwe ancestors,” Padilla said. “It penetrates the heart softly, even while shaking the very ground beneath our feet.” The show in Stillwater includes portraits and character studies. Denomie painted figures with antlers and rabbit ears, riding on horseback. “Are they leaving this world headed for the next? Are they already in the next world looking back, waiting for us? Named almost a year ago, this exhibit “Sweet Dreams” not only foreshadows Jim's leaving us here on this troubled Earth. It takes us along with him for the first mile or two of his ride home,” Padilla added. Eric Heukeshoven, a jazz musician and composer who teaches at St. Mary's University, plans to drive from Winona to Rochester to attend “A Tribute to John Paulson: Jazz at 70.” Paulson plays saxophone and flute, and he'll perform original compositions and jazz standards. The rest of the quintet has musicians drawn from Rochester, Winona, and environs: Cliff Jack on guitar, Larry Price on piano, Miles Johnston on drums, and Robert S. P. Gardner on bass. The Rochester Chamber Music Society event is Saturday at 7:30 p.m. at Christ United Methodist Church in Rochester. Masks are optional, and the show is free.  Don't see video? Click here: Musician Keith Nystrom of Ham Lake says he was “blown away” by Minneapolis musician Jesse Norell's new concept album, “Aorta Borealis.”  Norell's daughter Alyssa was born with Trisomy 21, also called Down's Syndrome, as well as a serious heart defect. The album describes learning the diagnosis, the darkness and uncertainty of the heart surgeries and, ultimately, the love and joy of family. Alyssa is now 6. Don't see video? Click here: “Jesse has a real knack for doing very complicated things, but doing them in such the right way, that you don't really notice how complex they are,” said Nystrom. Jesse Norell has an album release show on Friday with guests Ben Noble and Chris Mason at the Parkway Theater in Minneapolis. Doors open at 7 p.m. Music starts at 8 p.m.
