It s been nearly 19 years since the crash that shook the political world, and left so many grieving. On Friday, new signs mark the site which honors the lives lost.
Members and leaders from the Iron Range Building Trades joined David Wellstone, son of late Senator Paul Wellstone and his wife, Sheila Wellstone, at a volunteer event to restore the Paul Wellstone Memorial and Historical Site.
David placed the last new sign. Please come check them out. They are beautiful. And they bring back what you remember and loved about Paul Wellstone. And if you didn t love him, it reminds you about what he stood for.
AURORA Tom Gillach is humbled by being selected grand marshal of Aurora s Independence Day parade July 3, and he feels others are more deserving. But the members of the community group Celebrate Aurora worked hard on convincing him. I had a lot of pressure, he good-naturedly told the Mesabi Tribune.
Gillach will ride in the parade through the neighborhoods of Aurora, a hybrid version of the parade that customarily went down the main street.
Gillach has long been a diehard supporter of the East Range city where he grew up and was a longtime teacher and coach in the Aurora-Hoyt Lakes, then Mesabi East schools. I taught science and social studies, health and phy ed was was the head coach of seven sports.

TOWER- Students at Vermilion Country School moved to a hybrid learning system in December. As the final days of the second quarter approached this past week, students were working on completing all their classwork, often with some gentle nudging from school staff. Each student had a personalized printout that showed any missing classwork, and teachers and staff were making sure students had what they needed to complete their work on time.
Keeping students engaged and participating has been a challenge for all schools in this pandemic time, but with a small student body, teachers at VCS are doing their best to connect with their students every day.
