Things really are getting back to normal. Always a bellwether of spring with its March opening, Gordy’s Hi-Hat is now signaling the end of the pandemic by ending its carhop-style of service. On June 17, the popular local burger joint announced they were transitioning back to counter service only, after trying to provide both carhop and counter service for several weeks. “It just wasn’t going to work as efficiently as we had hoped,” read the Hi-Hat Facebook page. “Thank you for understanding and for allowing us to continue to serve you. We l...
It’s been a rough week for the Cloquet Police Department, but the issues are caused by construction work on 14th Street rather than a crime wave. On Monday, the phone lines and internet were down because a fiber optic line was cut. The line was repaired by Tuesday morning, and then a construction company struck a gas line outside City Hall on Tuesday. A press release issued just after noon Tuesday said the combined City Hall and police department building is temporarily closed. It was reported they had resumed normal operations before the e...

The $7.5 million waterline that will run along Minnesota Highway 210 from Carlton to Twin Lakes Township is a wonderful example of government done right. For 20 years, township officials have been working to resolve issues of water quality and quantity in part of the township, especially the areas around Highway 210 and Interstate 35, like Olsonville, Schmitz Road and the hotels and businesses along 210. There isn’t enough water there, and what water there is, isn’t very nice. It can smell like rotten eggs, some wells contain arsenic, and the...

This weekend’s Grandma’s Marathon events will cause delays for traffic headed to Duluth and the North Shore. On Saturday an Interstate 35 and Highway 61 detour is in place in Duluth to accommodate the morning marathon. The traditional detour route through downtown is under construction this year. Adjustments to the detour required to avoid the construction are going to result in longer delays than normal. Those heading to Duluth over the weekend can expect long delays. Plan ahead and consider alternate routes or using navigation apps to avo...

As we predicted at the end of 2020, this year we’ll celebrate the Fourth of July as a normal event with a parade, sporting activities, and fireworks. Well, almost normal. Uncertainty of the pandemic’s effects by midsummer have affected planning for the annual event, and lingering pandemic restrictions have limited the group gathering size and scope. Unfortunately, another side effect is the economic fallout from the pandemic has made it difficult to raise enough money for the fireworks display. There will still be the parade down Cloquet Ave...
While watching Minnesota’s legislative committee and floor sessions, some debate arose in my mind about the discussions. One surrounded small businesses. As legislators are drafting legislation, it is important for the public to know what the “small business” definition is. In an email exchange with a house member, the member was reluctant to relay the exact definition. It’s important to know who lawmakers are talking about because it affects a large percent of Minnesota businesses. It all means various businesses were eligible for federal...
I find it interesting, and maybe fun, to reflect on just what the world is like now, after the heart of the pandemic seems to be over and daily life gets back on track. With pandemic restrictions easing, hopefully we can return to enjoying the events that we missed during the past year. Most are open to the public. Many offer complimentary food, beverages, sweet treats, information, trinkets, samples and door prizes. I think it’s interesting to see what one tiny microbe can do to put a stop to so many events. I welcome the return of Fourth o...
