John Peyton was arguably the most versatile artist of his time. He created well over 700 masterful artworks ranging from landscapes, wildlife, nudes, to stills. His works are now grabbing the imagination and awe of viewers in galleries throughout Minnesota. John captured both the spirit and theme of each scene through skillfully blended colors and imagery.
With the impending Grandma’s Marathon, where is the best place to hide?
If you aren’t particularly good at, or enthusiastic about, golf it’s hard to justify paying about $17 for nine holes, plus another $9 to rent clubs (especially if you’re paying for the whole family.)
Rolling Ruts offers the answer to casual golfers’ prayers. It’s basically free.

I’m no expert, but I came across this and I would guess that $20/gallon taconite pellets would turn the Iron Range economy around in a hurry? I haven’t done the math but I’m pretty sure this deal looks like a winner!
Just saw this band at the thirsty pagan. Brought me back to when I grew up. Cover tunes, but are they something you can’t do. Great guitars. People carried tables out for dancing great guitar work, both from Barry and Jim. you could wish you could play so good. Hot rod you would like them.
Hi
We need a few volunteers on our next food distribution day for our 100% volunteer-run non-profit food buying club. The semi will come to the Mariner Mall in Superior over by the theatres on Saturday June 27 at 8:30 AM. It takes about 45 min to unload the pallets and bring them into the storefront we use that day. The produce assortment is then pre-packed into recycled plastic grocery bags for distribution that afternoon. All said, it would be 2 hours of service. Other volunteers, many who are seniors and cannot lift boxes of food, come in around 10:30 to prepare orders to be delivered to senior apt buildings and other homebound people, as well as 300 other households who come to the Mall to pick up their order. SHARE is open to everyone– no age or income requirements. Anyone interested in helping??

I wish to educate Duluthians on the importance of eating organic and would like to show people who are already eating organic a great resource that can help give you more of a selection of USDA certified organic foods because as you know (or should know) all (so called) ORGANICS are not created equal. Would anyone be interested in a meeting in Duluth on organics and a free organic food tasting? If I get enough people interested I will find a place to hold it or if you would like to host it in your home you can get some organic food free! Please let me know if you just want more info. Thanks, Vicki

Some father’s day notes …
I read this great book (above) to my daughter at the dentist’s office yesterday. Working with fathers for my “real” job, I notice these things like how medical offices are decorated and set up, many are very friendly to mothers (great), but some are a little daunting for dads (too bad). It’s wonderful that in addition to providing great quality and accessible health care, the Lake Superior Community Health Center also makes an extra little effort like this to make dads feel comfortable and welcome at their kids’ appointments.
I read a lot of books for kids and adults about dads, this book was really great I had never seen it before. I think it would make a good father’s day gift for a dad of school age kids, or one who appreciates crafty art like Steve Jenkins’ paper cut images in the book ….
People are speculating that “Running to the End of the World,” a song off Marilyn Manson’s latest album “The High End of Low,” bears an uncanny resemblance to our beloved hometown heroes’ seminal ballad, “Drive Away.” Stick with this story: Controversy (and hilarity) are bound to ensue.
