Cook County News Herald

Still seeking inspirational movers!




Who inspires you to Move It! Once again during the month of May, nominations will be accepted for awards for a Cook County resident who inspires others to move more. Maybe it’s someone who teaches a well-attended exercise class or a young person that loves to hike. Maybe it’s a senior who keeps on gardening despite physical challenges. There are amazing people all around us who are Movin’ It! Please send us your stories!

Congratulations to last year’s inspiring winners— Rusty Day, Yvonne Mills and Gene Glader.

Submit your nominations for a chance to win one of six prizes. A panel from the Cook County News-Herald, Sawtooth Mountain Clinic, and Cook County Senior Center will pick winners from the entries. In early June, prizes will be awarded in three categories; children, adults, seniors. Each winner will receive a $40 gift certificate to a local business for the nominee and a $20 gift certificate for the nominator! Send nominations of 200 – 300 words to: Cook County News-Herald, PO Box 757, Grand Marais MN 55604 or email to starnews@boreal.org. Deadline for Nominations: Monday, May 25.

Questions? Contact Rhonda Silence at the News-Herald at (218) 387- 9100; Kristin Wharton at the Sawtooth Mountain Clinic 387-2330; or Bev Green at the Senior Center 387-2660.

Funding for the Move It! Awards are provided in part by the Center for Prevention at Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota, the Sawtooth Mountain Clinic, Cook County News-Herald, and the Cook County Senior Center.
