Wild rice conditions are looking good this year in many areas of Minnesota and the Department of Natural Resources is offering tips and a reminder of important regulations restricting harvest to rice stands that are ripe.
wild rice stands
“Favorable weather without too much heavy rain early in the season has been a positive for wild rice,” said Ricky Lien, DNR wetland habitat team supervisor. “As people consider harvesting, they need to know the regulations that help protect wild rice stands for future years.”
Minnesota has more acres of natural wild rice than any other state in the country. Wild rice and its harvesting are profoundly important to Minnesota’s tribal nations, for cultural, spiritual, and social reasons. Many other Minnesotans also enjoy harvesting wild rice, an all-natural and nutritious grain.

NOTICE OF AND ORDER FOR HEARING ON PETITION FOR DETERMINATION OF DESCENT

by Tom Coombe
The Ely school campus is set for a nearly $20 million facelift that will include a brand-new building, following voter approval Tuesday of a $10 million bond referendum.
With strong support in the cities of Ely and Winton and a narrower margin in Morse Township, voters said “yes” to a project that evolved from several years of discussions.
The referendum was supported by over 64 percent of the voters as of late Tuesday, with only absentee ballots in Morse Township and two small unorganized townships remaining to be counted.
The raw vote total was 927-512.
Approval clears the way for a project that combines renovation with new construction, including the creation of a structure that would link the Washington and Memorial buildings and include new classrooms, cafeteria and commons space, a secure entry and additional gymnasium space.
