Habitat for Humanity : Begun in 1976 by Millard Fuller and his wife, Habitat For Humanity has gained notoriety thru Mr Jimmy Carter, former President. But it's all those who help with time and energy, money and giving that really put the homes up.

SPX : Sports is one of my favorite subjects to shoot. I do not watch any kind of sport programs, actually intensely dislike watching sports, so I have a dichotomy or dilemma. The major reason for enjoying shooting them is the challenge of the action/motion/speed and the "decisive moment", as it has been described. In fact, professional sports turn me off due to the exhorbitant salaries paid the stars and their obvious disdain, in the most part, for the people who give them star status. True, some are actually loving people, but the majority leave much to be desired as "heroes" for children. But to watch the heart these youngsters put into their game, understanding how much work is put in to "getting good", is astonishing.

ER Memorial Day : Memorial Day 2007. I had intentions of covering various parades and Veteran Memorial Services this day. Nearly ready to leave the house, Shiiba came running in, her side tore up and covered with debris. I cleaned it a bit to see how bad the wound was, decided it was time to call the vet. Yah- sure. A holiday. Again. It seems as though every time I need a vet it's a holiday. The last time was Thanksgiving. I nearly had to fly the dog to Iowa. Again, the vet called just in time and we rushed her to his office. The Kid was in panic mode, really concerned about his Baby. I wish he was as concerned at feeding time! You can see he was close to tears carrying her in. He was even more close when the operating began due to his intense fear of needles- worse than I. I want to thank the vets of Northland Animal Hospital for their help, especially Dr D. Kalinowski, DVM. They were the only vets available, and thereby won another convert to their business. I also want to extend sincere thanks for his allowing me to take pictures of the incident- my own vet wouldn't allow that. Well, he does now! ;)

Night Fire : Arsonists created this fire that required four departments to control. Since most communities around here are small (less than 10,000), "mutual aide" is nearly a requirement for fire departments. Locally, we have four communities that comprise the hub for our area: Virginia, Eveleth, Gilbert and Mt. Iron. Then there are smaller outlying communities such as Fayal Township, Greenwood, Pike-Sandy-Britt. This joining forces has been beneficial for all concerned and these men and women, with EMT services combined, deserve a tremendous "Thank you" for jobs well done. Thanks, Guys, you're a blessing to our communities.

Fire- Virginia Boat : Following are pictures of the largest Virginia fire in fifty years. One of the oldest businesses in town, Virginia Boat and Sport consumed many of my hours shopping for SCUBA, canoeing and photography equipment. I used my school lunch money to buy my first dive gear here (don't tell Mom!).
