Nevis City Hall brings intern on board
Gabriel Veit, the college graduate son of City Administrator Dawn Veit, hopes to gain career experience in the unpaid position. 6:45 pm, Jul. 19, 2021 ×
The Nevis City Council approved Gabriel Veit as an unpaid intern on Monday, July 12.
City Administrator Dawn Veit said she met a city administrative intern from Walker at a recent training seminar, a college graduate who was earning career experience.
“I wished her well, but then I thought, ‘OK, what can I do for others?’” Dawn said.
Reluctantly calling him a guinea pig, she asked the council to offer her son, Gabriel, a similar opportunity. She said he graduated with the same major as the Walker intern, but due to COVID-19, he didn’t intern anywhere.

Spring is in the air, the rains are calling forth the new growth and the Nevis pollinator garden at the Chamber’s Visitor Center along the Heartland Trail is about to be extended into a “pollinator highway,” featuring native plants and grasses to entice the bees and butterflies to pollinate their choices, and provide valuable habitat for songbirds as well.
Pollinators are critical to our food supply, as well as to the health of our ecosystem, and are critical to our northern economy which is so dependent on the health of our natural resources.
