Grand Portage Band may acquire beach near Grand Marais MnDOT weighs returning site near Grand Marais as Grand Portage tribal land. July 15, 2021 7:29pm Text size Copy shortlink:
DULUTH – A popular beach just east of Grand Marais, Minn., may return to tribal ownership as the state moves to transfer the property to the Grand Portage Band of Lake Superior Chippewa.
The Minnesota Department of Transportation owns the former gravel pit and is looking to pass it on after deeming the nearly 2-acre parcel excess. We wanted to figure out how to manage it in a way that keeps it in public use, said Duane Hill, MnDOT s district engineer for northeastern Minnesota. As that discussion ensued, the tribe stepped in and said they have some cultural connection to the property.
John Heilpern obituary Michael Coveney
John Heilpern, who has died aged 78 of lung cancer, was a feature writer on the Observer for 10 years before moving to New York in the late 1970s. But it is for two of the most brilliant and important theatre books of our time that he will be remembered: Conference of the Birds: The Story of Peter Brook in Africa (1977) and John Osborne: A Patriot for Us (2006).
In the first, he travelled with Brook’s international company, based in Paris, on a voyage of self-discovery and investigation into the roots of theatre across the Sahara, improvising and interacting with villagers and tribal people they met in six countries (Algeria, Niger, Nigeria, Benin, Togo and Mali), culminating in an experimental version of the great Persian allegorical poem devised by Ted Hughes.

Blacktown City’s Bushfire Appeal helping victims to rebuild
From Batemans Bay to the Blue Mountains, from Moss Vale to Moruya, the generosity of Blacktown City’s residents is helping dozens of bushfire victims around NSW to rebuild their lives.
The Blacktown City Council Bushfire Appeal raised nearly $90,000 to go directly to victims of the 2019/2020 bushfires.
The funds generously raised by Blacktown City locals have enabled the donation of practical goods to bushfire-affected individuals across NSW.
Council has teamed up with charity organisations GIVIT and Step by Step to ensure these necessary supplies, household goods, and vouchers make their way to those who need them.
