A week ago, rain and warm weather rid the shore of snow and ice. This dreamscape scene looks (almost) like it could have been shot in summer. Today, the Northland is covered under a foot or more of snow, just in time for Christmas.
Commissioners okay re-establishment of Caribou Lake Area Subordinate Service District
Cook County Commissioners held a busy, productive meeting on December 14. One of the main topics on the agenda was the Caribou Lake Property Owners Association (CLPOA) request to re-establish the Caribou Lake Area Subordinate Service District (SSD), which was created 2003-2004.

Get your COVID-19 vaccination
I think that the News- Herald has some responsibility, before publishing something, to “fact check” the obvious “false news” in the opinion written by Maty Jo Flack in the As I See it section of the December 18th paper titled “It’s time to ask some questions.” Her comments do not contain one bit of substantiating example to show where she […]
