Repeat honors for Timberjay Posted Wednesday, February 3, 2021 7:39 pm
REGIONAL - For the second year in a row, the Timberjay has taken the top honors in its size category in the Minnesota Newspaper Association’s Better Newspaper Contest, with its second straight first-place finish for General Excellence.
“Relevant and timely coverage of local affairs and keen localization of decisions as far away as Washington, D.C.,” wrote the judges. “A good mix of community features and a separate local sports section each week delivers what so many readers want from a community newspaper. Excellent and fearless editorial page. Clearly, the best in class. The Timberjay knows how to fly.”

Ely city council: No need to ‘prove it first’
Adopts another resolution in support of sulfide mining Posted
Keith Vandervort
ELY – With little fanfare and no opposition, the City Council here this week adopted another resolution in support of sulfide mining in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness watershed.
In a unanimous vote, council members agreed to disregard proposals to “Prove it First,” as spelled out in recent federal and state legislation that would require scientific proof before any copper-nickel mining could be permitted in Minnesota without risking pollution to the nearby million-acre wilderness.

Timberjay now published as a single, regional edition Posted Tuesday, December 29, 2020 3:17 pm
TOWER- Readers of the Timberjay may notice that this edition includes more content from neighboring communities within the Timberjay coverage area. That’s because, effective with this issue, the three editions of the Timberjay will now be combined into a single edition, known simply as The Timberjay. This is similar to the digital e-edition, which has always included the pages from all three editions.
“Changes at our printing plant meant that producing the three runs of the paper would be much more expensive than printing a single edition with more pages each week,” said Timberjay General Manager Jodi Summit.
