Final Lutefisk dinner at Cloquet church; Dwindling interest to blame

CLOQUET, Minn. (KQDS-TV) -- Is the love for Lutefisk fizzling away? One church in Cloquet says so, which is why its annual Lutefisk dinner is coming to an end this Saturday. Our Savior's Lutheran Church has been hosting annual Lutefisk dinners for more than 100 years. But Church officials say a decline in the fish's popularity has caused them to make the tough decision to take Lutefisk off the menu.

Virginia sets special meeting to review forensic audit

VIRGINIA—Councilor Liz Motley let the public know (at Tuesday night’s regular meeting) the forensic audit of Virginia’s finances has been received by the city. After some debate on the timing, the council set a special City Council meeting at 3 p.m. Nov. 24 to discuss the findings from the firm Perry Forensic. Engaging in a forensic audit was approved in July after the city discovered $3.7 million missing from a dedicated sales tax fund earlier in the year. The action came after the city had a cash flow problem and discovered about $3.7 million was spent out of a restricted special sales tax fund designed to repay a General Obligation Revenue Bond issued about six years ago for the Iron Trail Motors Event Center. The extra 1% sales tax was approved by the Legislature in 2019 and its proceeds were specifically restricted to pay back the ITMEC bonds, not the city’s general fund expenses. The council wanted to determine what, exactly, those funds were spent on and decided on the audit. Motley was hoping for the meeting on Nov. 17, but the timing didn’t work for the others on the council. “I do believe we owe it to the taxpayers

County Board approves petition allowing portion of Greenwood Township to join Goodwill Township

The County Board approved a petition to allow a portion of Greenwood Township to become part of neighboring Goodwill Township. The involved area includes 435 parcels on the northwestern side of Greenwood Township, of which about 10% are primary residences, a county news release stated. Much of the conversation focused on property tax impacts as well as emergency response services. In voting in favor of the petition, Commissioner Paul McDonald noted that the decision was about more than those issues, “This is about sense of community,” said McDonald, whose district includes both townships. “When people don’t have that sense of community, they lose something. Goodwill Township and Cook align with that end of Lake Vermilion,” Commissioners approved the petition during Tuesday’s meeting, which was held in Gilbert. The vote came following a public hearing, which originally was held in September, but then continued when it was learned that not all affected property owners had received communication. Details on when this change goes into effect will be communicated to the respective townships at a later date.

Rock Ridge to keep discussing possibility of 4-day week

VIRGINIA/EVELETH—After a lengthy discussion, the Rock Ridge School Board will hold a working session at 5 p.m. Nov. 23 so board members can talk out the parameters of possibly going to a four-day week. While the board has not authorized going to a four-day week, Superintendent Noel Schmidt brought up the idea of studying it as a possible budget reduction. Any possible decision on going to a four-day week would have to be made by April. According to Schmidt’s rough draft timeline, a series of community meetings would be held next month to gather feedback and advice from the public. Meetings (three at each school) would be held at Laurentian, North Star and Parkview elementaries, along with Rock Ridge High School. Schmidt said once all of the information is gathered from the public, it will be “clustered’’ into big themes/big concerns. That is better than deciding what the themes are before the public meetings. He estimated there would be three-five clusters, and committees would be formed to look at them and come up with potential answers and recommendations before bringing it back to the full school board. The different clusters could possibly be on transportation, academics or athletics, he added.
