IF YOU FIND YOURSELF IN GRAND FORKS ON EITHER JUNE 27 OR 30 AND ARE IN NEED OF A QUICK LUNCH… PERHAPS CHOOSE CULVER’S. LOCAL ORGANIZERS ARE TEAMING WITH THE BURGER AND FROZEN CUSTARD CHAIN TO RAISE FUNDS TO HELP SEND VETS ON THE NORTH DAKOTA/MINNESOTA VETERANS HONOR FLIGHT FROM GRAND FORKS TO WASHINGTON DC THIS FALL. CULVER’S WILL DONATE 30% OF THEIR SALES ON THOSE DATES TO SUPPORT THAT EFFORT AND FROM 10-8, HONOR FLIGHT ORGANIZERS WILL BE ON HAND WITH THE ALL THE NECESSARY PAPERWORK TO GET VETERANS SIGNED UP TO TAKE THAT FLIGHT. ANYONE WHO SERVED IN THE US MILITARY BEFORE 1975 IS ELIGIBLE.
WARROAD PUBLIC SCHOOLS WILL OFFICIALLY BE MAKING A REQUEST FOR AN EXEMPTION FROM THE LAW BANNING USE OF NATIVE AMERICAN NICKNAMES AND LOGOS. THAT WRITTEN REQUEST MUST GO TO ALL 11 FEDERALLY RECOGNIZED TRIBAL NATIONS IN MINNESOTA AND ALL MUST APPROVE OF THEIR REQUEST. THE REQUEST MUST BE MADE BY SEPTEMBER 1 AND THE PARTIES HAVE UNTIL DECEMBER 15 TO APPROVE OR DENY.
TWO PEOPLE WERE KILLED WHEN A SMALL VINTAGE PLAN CRASHED IN AN AREA JUST NORTH OF DULUTH YESTERDAY MORNING. THE TWO-SEAT 1946 AERONCA CHAMPION HAD RECENTLY PASSED AN ANNUAL INSPECTION. THE OCCUPANTS WERE 60 YEAR OLD BRYAN HANDYSIDE AND 64 YEAR OLD MATTHEW JOSEPH, BOTH OF THE DULUTH AREA. BOTH WORKED FOR CIRRUS AIRCRAFT, AND HANDYSIDE HAD OVER 30 YEARS OF AVIATION EXPERIENCE.
