20 YEARS AGO OCTOBER 31, 2003 v The new power plant for Grand Marais came one step closer to completion last week when the first two diesel generators were installed at the new site at the west end of town. The large brightly painted diesel engines with generators connected to them were slowly lowered to their spots on the foundation of what will soon be a six-megawatt power plant to serve the city in emergencies.

Since 1998, hundreds of timber framing students have passed through the doors of North House Folk School. To this day, timber framing continues to be a core part of North House’s programming and some of its most popular classes. Earlier this fall, over 50 of these students returned to campus for North House’s biggest timber framing project yet: building the new Welcome Center that will replace the little Yellow House. Using traditional timber framing techniques, it was a project that bridged the past and the future by celebrating the roots of the folk school and the community at the heart of it.
Israel issues an impossible evacuation order for a civilian population and then proceeds to bomb the evacuation zone they designated and the evacuation routes they specified...I just don't understand. I've always considered the now passed Desmond Tutu as a moral guidestone, and it really seems as though his kind of moral fortitude in the face of terrible realities is required. It is ever so easy to respond in kind and with violence, the result is nightmares and death.
The public is invited to attend the Cook County School District's Truth in Taxation meeting on December 14, 2023, at 6 p.m. The meeting will be held in the Jane Mianowski room.
North House Folk School Director Greg Wright came before the Grand Marais City Council last Wednesday with a request to allow North House to share a sewer line with Angry Trout restaurant for the new building coming up and to hardscape a path that would be on city property that would lead to the main campus and the lakefront. He also requested North House be allowed to landscape around the new building on leased city property adjacent to their new building.
