Orchids to Easter Lily, Super One, North Country Heating – Mesabi Daily News

Onions: To Eveleth-Gilbert school board chair for her bias in letting people or other board members tack at meetings. It sure seems that she and the clerk have an agenda and no other board members are allowed to have another opinion. This is clearly shown at the Athletic Committee meeting where she scolded one member for getting off topic. Must be a board of two. Everyone else must not oppose.

Onions: Why in the world is there still a stop sign where Parkville Road meets 102 by the C.N. tracks? No traffic can come from the west because of a rock blockade and striped barricades. Take that stop sign down already!

Onions: To the Minnesota D.M.V. and their high license plate fees. To add insult to injury, when you buy a new vehicle you dont get a full year out of your new plates. I bought a new vehicle on March 31. When my new plates came Feb. was the expiration month. They charged me almost $400 for 11 months. They cheated me out of one full month. That is wrong.

Orchids: And Easter Lilies to Make it Mondays after school program at Messiah Lutheran Church. The Holy week booklets the students made are awesome. What a good opportunity for kids! (Submitted by a Grateful Grandma)

Orchids: To all of the staff at the Virginia Hospital especially the Doctors and Nurses in the ER. Thank you. (Submitted by Helen Pulkinen and Maria Kinler)

Orchids: To Sundell Eye Associates for their expert cataract removal and eyeglass fitting. (Submitted by Miriam Jones)

Orchids: Much thanks to the person who left an Easter Lily in my front porch with no name. May the Lord Bless you especially during this Easter Season. (Submitted by Joan Schaefbauer)

Onions: To the Gilbertans crying over the city councils decision against donating to the third of July celebration. Councilors are only as bright as the people who elected them. Residents slept while past and present councils irreverently squandered tax payers money, bankrupting the coffers. You cant get blood out of a turnip.

Orchids: To the IRRRB for finally replacing Troon with a hopefully better management company Bill Casper Golf. It was a much-needed change. I hope you continue to make changes and look hard at the staff you have running the facility. Onions for not drug testing all employees who run state owned equipment.

Orchids: Here is some information the Gilbert City Council can use. A friend told me, that because of Minntac. Mountain Iron receives about an extra $300,000 in grants every year for the IRRRB to spend on city improvements. Gilbert has an Arcelor-Mittal taconite mine to the northeast. Gilbert should also get a large amount of extra yearly grant money for the IRRRB. The Gilbert City Council should do some inquiring real soon to receive its share of extra taconite grant money.

Orchids: A colorful palette of Orchids to Marion DeLage for opening up Art Expressions art studio in Biwabik. She has created a beautiful place for everyone to come to and try their hand at creating personal treasures. Everyone is welcome and even if you dont think you have any artistic abilities, Marion will be there to help you create a memorable piece to share with friends and family. There are no judgements there, no malicious gossiping or back-biting. People are there to have fun. Her encouragement and instruction help everyone who comes in the door. She has classes for all ages, genders and walks of life. I have watched her interact with both adults and children to a degree that is heartwarming. Marion is offering an outlet for warmth and laughter for all ages. I truly believe she is providing therapy for the everyday person so bogged down with todays issues and personal struggles. Great job Marion!! We love you and what you are providing to the area.......Everyone, go to her Facebook site, Art Expressions and see what is being offered and come to the studio for laughter, fun, creation, relaxation and therapy!!

Onions: To Mayor Cuffe and the Virginia City Council; a 19 percent increase in property taxes, a proposed $20 a month surcharge on our utility bills for the relocation of utility lines because of the Highway 53 bridge, main street looks like an abandoned ship wreck, biggest concern of the city is the Miners Memorial Building renovation, all this while streets and infrastructure falls apart. What is going on folks? (Submitted by a Virginia Resident longing for the days of Mayor Carolyn Luoma Gentilini, When We Had a Real Leader!)

Orchids: To all the Eveleth Elks Members who volunteered their time to cook and serve Tuesday Burgers during the past year. If many volunteer a little time, the work doesnt fall on the shoulders of just a few. The kitchen committee appreciates all those who have given their time and worked in the kitchen. (Submitted by Eveleth Elks Kitchen Committee)

Orchids: A giant batch of red, white, and blue orchids to Tracy LaBarge of Tracys Sewing and Alterations for her patriotic assistance to the Mesabi Range Post of the VFW. Tracy has stitched edged of U.S. Flags to preserve their longevity. She has provided assistance in preparing Color Guard Uniforms for V.F.W. members. The members of VFW Post 1172 salute her for her spirit of Americanism. (Submitted by Members of VFW Post 1172)

Orchids: A sincere thank you to E and T Landscaping and Plowing Inc. for keeping our parking lot plowed all winter. It was a long winter with a great deal of snow and knowing we would be taken care of was a great relief. We knew how busy they were but every time it snowed someone was here to help us out! Your thoughtfulness is so greatly appreciated. Thank you for your support. From the entire staff at the Mesabi Humane Society.

Orchids: Thank you to Brian Pazzelli of North Country Heating and Cooling for donating the installation of new duct work in our dog kennel area. Also, thank you to Rick and Dave for working so hard and getting the job done rather quickly. This is the second time that we were fortunate enough to receive help from this great group of guys! Your generosity is sincerely appreciated. (Submitted by all of us at the Mesabi Humane Society, Especially the Dogs!)

Orchids: Bags and bags full of orchids to Miners, Inc., and their Super One stores in Biwabik and Virginia for collecting plastic bags and then shipping them to a center where they are recycled and processed. Not just collected and thrown into the local landfill.

Orchids: What a wonderful show!! The Country show at Mountain Iron School on the 2nd Saturday of every month for $7. 2 1/2 hours of great local entertainment. The Band (40 Below) and Bittersweet were great. Mark your calenders for this entertainment every month. To visit with friends and neighbors and listen to great music. The Saturday night live gives monies to our local music departments at the schools. (Submitted by Donna Perrault).
