The Northshore is known for the wealth of talented artists who live and work throughout the region. And, to this point, I am highly impressed with the support of local businesses, organizations and media outlets to welcome and feature the artists’ work. Tettegouche State Park in Silver Bay, Harbor Rails Pub & Event Center in Two Harbors and the Public libraries along the shore are just a few who host exhibits on a regular basis. Not to mention the many gift shops and galleries who make it a priority to sell locally produced art.
Happy Graduation to Class of 2022! Lets dive right in, hummingbirds are here in force it seems this Spring. I can’t keep nectar in the feeders! Whose gardens are planted? Ours was planted over Memorial Day Weekend despite the varied weather. I’ve spent a little time sitting on my deck and enjoying the birds, flowers and sunshine, it’s been too long, and I forget so easily how beautiful things are. Speaking of how beautiful scenery is, this past weekend’s lightening was intense, with gusting winds and rain that came in sheets at times. Although thunderstorms have always been eerie to me, if you catch the stillness in the flashes of lightning the beauty is magnificent. On a dryer note; I know two boys who are excited to be mowing grass in place of shoveling snow, I’m hoping all reports of another hot dry summer are false. Here’s to hoping for the perfect weather all summer long… (whatever that may be.) Until next time……
With recent heavy rainfalls in our area in the last month, the weather, and specifically precipitation has been on a lot of people’s minds and has been the topic of much conversation. When I was growing up, I remember many summers that would start wet, and end rather dry, close to being a drought. And my dad would talk about how we so desperately needed rain. And I would point out that strong thunderstorms were being forecasted, to which he would respond that, “Well, that’s ok. But it would be better if we had a day or two of a continuous, gentle rain, so that the ground would be soaked well, but not flooded.”
Employment - Veterans Preference This week’s article is about a state benefit that may assist a Veteran during the hiring process. First and foremost, I am not a legal professional and am in no way providing legal counsel.

Is leaking a crime? What a brouhaha! When someone at the U.S. Supreme Court leaked a draft copy of Justice Samuel Alito’s opinion overruling Roe v.
The local Renegade Riders Saddle Club hosted The Two Harbors Play Day on Saturday June 5th. The Tom Gow arena at the Lake County Fairgrounds smelled sweetly of horses and summer. It began with the American flag and delivered good clean fun for young and old.
Last Monday the Silver Bay city council voted to authorize the city to accept bids for the Boathouse Bay infrastructure project, a bidding process that is likely to take about a month to complete. Should the council give final approval to the project, public water and sewer improvements would then move forward.
