Conservation Officer Tales
Although the Cook County News-Herald knows that the majority of sportsmen and women are law-abiding folks, there are a few that run afoul of the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Conservation Officers. Periodically, the DNR provides a report of some of the miscreants the Conservation Officers (CO) have encountered. The News-Herald shares these stories as a reminder to all […]

What’s In a Name?
Today I am fixated on two places you can stay in Grand Marais that have unusual names. Consider the Mangy Moose and the Basecamp Bungalows. Most people think that mange is a downer, but that Moose stays occupied all summer. And Basecamp makes me think of climbing in the Himalayas. Both are no frills places with great locations and get […]

The regulations, if enacted, are reviewed on a regular basis. The DNR is considering experimental and special fishing regulations for the […]
Anderson family reunion
There is an unspoken understanding that once you have been a member of the Art and LaVonne Anderson Family you will always be a member of the Anderson Family. Kind of like a cult, but with grandma’s sourdough pancakes. This includes all weddings, anniversary parties, and of course, family reunions. Therefore, it came as no surprise to me that my […]
Aussi-isms
I’m just finishing my fifth trip to Australia; my brother David and his family live here, and I came for my niece Laura’s wedding. You’d think I’d have things down by now, but not so. After 25+ hours en route, Laura met me at the Melbourne airport with her 7-year-old twins, Astrid and Basil. Basil sported a heavy chain necklace […]
