Courtesy of the Lake County Historical Society NOVEMBER 5, 2022 100 YEARS AGO: v A hearing on the application of land owners before Carlos Avery, state game and fish commissioner, was held at the courthouse on October 27th for the purpose of legalizing the reservation of ten sections of land between the section line running north from Soren Jenson’s corner on the one side and Castle Danger Road to Lake Superior on the other. The proposal to make the area a game refuge was sponsored by Minneapolis people who purchased a tract of 1600 acres from the John Olson estate who were backed by local property owners and sportsmen who wish to see the wild life of this section perpetuated.
Covid Update: Arrowhead cases highest in state
Reports from last week indicate that Lake and Cook counties were seeing some of the highest level of Covid-19 cases in the state, around 200 positive cases per 100,000. Considered a high level of infection, these rates do not reflect all of the at-home tests that are not entered into the state’s tracking system.

Two Harbor students pitch in for yard work
Over 30 students from DECA, Student Council, World Culture Club, National Honor Society, and Girl's Basketball all got together last week with Community Partners to help clean up around our community! They raked and bagged leaves, moved over two tons of 70 pound blocks, straightened and supported a falling fence, mixed soil, and more! It was an awesome experience, and they can't wait to do it again next year. Nice work, Agates!

CO Sean Williams (Ely #1) reports another warm weekend meant high ATV use and grouse-hunting activity. Hunting success continued to be much lower than seen at the beginning of the month as the volume of younger birds seems to be reduced and a few weeks of education has made a difference.
Two Harbors council discusses citizen appointments
At the committee-of-the-whole meeting of the Two Harbors city council last Monday discussion was held regarding developing a new process by which citizen appointments will be made to commissions and boards. The conversation comes on the heels of a newly revised city ordinance that took the appointment of citizens to city working groups out of the hands of the mayor alone. The new ordinance stipulates that the council as a whole will review applications and vote on appointments. Councilor Derrick Passe advocated for taking immediate action since there were a number of applicants who had already expressed interest. However, councilors Robin Glaser and Ben Redden, though expressing a desire to move ahead quickly, wanted a process delineated before moving forward. Ultimately, two applicants were removed from Monday’s agenda, and at the 6:00 pm council meeting a special meeting was set.
