Golden Eagle
Click For a better view
Eagles are still feeding on the deer kills along the highways and I am as sure as I can be this is an immature Golden Eagle. I have heard from folks with excellent credentials on both sides of the question of Golden or Bald Eagle? It's well over 3 feet high, and is bigger than most mature Bald Eagles that were near it. We think it's an immature Golden Eagle, but let us know if you think (or know)different. editor@woodsnews.com

Don't forget the Veterans

Hope you enjoy the northwoods, but do not forget the ones who paid for our freedom, some of them with their lives. There are people in this world that want to take our freedom away. This goes all the way back to The American Revolution, which gave us our independence from British rule. It's where we got our freedom to begin with. Corporate America probably would like us better if they had more control. According to some folks we do not need to be diligent about protecting our freedom, but now as always it is crucial. We need to thank God (capital G) and those who have served and to those who are still serving. Don't ever take it for granted or you may lose it!

    Link to Local Radar Data It's always storm season. The forecast, as always, has a chance of storms, some severe. Watch the sky - the weather can change fast. Be careful driving. This is Minnesota so as always, watch out and visit the National Weather Service for the Weather Outlook. Whatever the weather, this is still the best place in the world to live.

Memories of a Small Town
by Curt Newstrom

I am Gary LaGrange. I grew up in Marcell and married Jan Newstrom, daughter of Curt and Jennie Newstrom. Paula Alden asked us to have the book reprinted for the 100th anniversary which we did. We have 483 copies of Curt's Marcell book remaining and wish to find persons who would love to have a copy. We are willing to sell them for our cost plus shipping. The price is $8 and $5 for USPS postage.
Thank you.
Gary

Is Valley Forest Gone?

A familiar Marcell sight for many years   Valley Forest restarted at least once. They began making pellets again on Nov.30th 2009. I apparently took this picture on a day the plant was running. They were running occasionally but I haven't seen or heard of any activity for a long time.   According to the person I was told to contact then, Tink, "We're starting with a crew of around 18 and we will increase the size of the crew in the future." They would have manufactured wood pellets but they have been shut down for quite awhile.
   They would have been a major Marcell employer at a time when employment or employers are sorely needed.
  The pellet plant is located on the site of the Aspen Fibre Plant in Marcell. They apparently had done extensive rebuilding since the days of the Marcell Mill, who originally built the pellet plant. Too bad for Marcell, but we no longer have the crane or the sawmill or A.S.V.
