Researching a school paper?
Looking up an article?
Need a reliable Internet source?
Think ELM
A tree? What does a tree have to do with the Internet?
ELM is the acronym for Electronic Library of Minnesota. And because of ELM, students in rural areas have access to the kind of reference material that might be found only in larger urban libraries.

SCHOOL CHANGES NAME TO EAGLEVIEW
Squaw Lake School is now Eagleview School.
The name change was approved at a District 318 School Board meeting on Aug. 15. The new name, explained teaching principal Wendy Muntean, is descriptive of the eagles that are often seen from the playground at the school. It also recognizes the location of the school in the Chippewa National Forest, a place where much of the research has been done on the bird that is our national emblem.
Although the name change had been under consideration for a number of years, it was becoming important to do it, explained Muntean. The Leech Lake Tribe had taken an official position that the name should be referred to as S. Lake because of the perceived derogatory nature of the word “squaw.” In the close relationship between the school and representatives of the tribe, the name had become a source of confusion.
The action will have no effect on the name of the town.

Roxanne’s Dial Tones
by Roxanne Prather, Sales Assistant
North Itasca Cooperative Enterprises (N.I.C.E.) is inviting you to take a challenge! We challenge everyone who hasn’t yet signed up for our long distance service to sign up and give us a try. Here is how it will work. Sign up in the month of September and stay an active customer for 2 months. Most local carriers charge $5.00 to switch your long distance. If after 2 months you are not totally thrilled with our service just get us a copy of your local bill with the switching charges and we will credit you the amount you were charged plus that amount again (up to a maximum of $10.00) to cover your charge to switch back. This means that you can give us a risk free try!
