Payne will take his audience on a visual journey through Chile’s Andean Mountain range, its coastal estuaries and its communities. Chile has been described as one of the most beautiful and resource-rich nations on Earth. Payne returned from South America in late January after visiting museums, Amer-Indian communities, national parks, rodeos, vineyards, central markets and the capitol, Santiago.
The presentation will include photos of birds and mammals that Chile has on its endangered list for protection. Chile’s history will be summarized, and the controversial topic of U.S. support of Chilean Dictator Augusto Pinochet will be addressed.
Our newsroom occasionally reports stories under a byline of "staff." Often, the "staff" byline is used when rewriting basic news briefs that originate from official sources, such as a city press release about a road closure, and which require little or no reporting. At times, this byline is used when a news story includes numerous authors or when the story is formed by aggregating previously reported news from various sources. If outside sources are used, it is noted within the story.
Hi, I'm the Brainerd Dispatch. I started working a few days before Christmas in 1881 and became a daily paper two years later. I've gone through a lot of changes over the years, but what has never changed is my commitment to community and to local journalism. I've got an entire team of dedicated people who work night and day to make sure I go out every morning, whether in print, as an e-edition, via an app or with additional information at www.brainerddispatch.com. News, weather, sports — videos, photos, podcasts and social media — all covering stories from central Minnesota about your neighbors, your lakes, your communities, your challenges and your opportunities. It's all part of the effort to keep people connected and informed. And we couldn't do it without support.
