As I entered the shop I was informed I would be third in line after the current chair occupant was “finished.” So, I grabbed the one empty chair […]
Basis for United States was Christian principles
Response to Geri Jensen’s letter of Aug. 14: Your letters are full of both ridicule and anger. Yes, there are people, some calling themselves Christians, who misuse God and the Bible. Thisdoes not alter the fact that there is a God and the Bible is His word. I just read a book where a character stated, “But belief is a […]
Bible study would surprise skeptics
In response to Geri Jensen’s skepticism in her letter to the editor: By identifying yourself a skeptic, I take this to mean you are open-minded and willing to seek the truth.

Berries to Bears
The weather finally took a cool turn and the wind that followed the cold snap had a lot of gust to it. A few trees were downed on Sunday and Monday, especially in the Seagull area. This will be an ongoing event with every wind storm since more and more half-burnt Jack Pines are beginning to lose their strength. It […]
Where are the fish biting?
There was no fish report from Buck’s Hardware this week, but that didn’t mean anglers were not having success. Tyson at the Beaver House said smallmouth bass are still “pretty much biting everywhere.” Some local fishermen have also been having fun catching feisty little perch on area lakes. Walleye are biting on Crescent, Devil Track, Two Island, Saganaga and Seagull […]
Increase in ATV deaths in 2010
