Less than 24 hours after flames were extinguished at Camp Sigel s main lodge, a young boy and his father pulled into the camp and emerged from their vehicle.
âWe have something we d like to give you,â the young boy said, handing a $50 bill to one of the camp s board members. âWe re from Story Book Lodge (a nearby camp),â the father said.
Aid is arriving from near and far to help rebuild after the historic lodge was consumed in a July 16 fire at the Bible camp south of Biwabik.
For 101 years, the log lodge was the centerpiece of the camp whose mission is to teach the word of God to youth.

Waiting ’til noon to shovel the new-fallen snow.
The emails are arriving slowly this Friday morn
So it gives me time to write … what? Once again, torn.
Since March, we haven’t shared an in-office laugh.
Pat Schmid has manned our office since then
I’m sure it is quiet there … few visits by women and men
After a few weeks at the table … too easy to roam
Pushing assignments by emails, texts and calls,
Formatting copy and, on occasion, getting outside these walls.
My reporters have worked hard getting news to appear.
My assistant Susan Johns has carried the load
