Local organizations selling holiday gift items will include Friends of the Library, the Ely Elementary PTO, Northern Lights Clubhouse, VCC’s SCNAVTA (the vet tech student service organization) and Forestry and Wildlife Club. Items to buy include pet toys, household and kitchen items, greeting cards, candles, Christmas ornaments and balsam swags, fire starters, children’s books, fairly- traded chocolate and much more. Shopping at Gifts that Give allows one to get a jump on their holiday gift list, feel good about giving to people in need, and learn something new about the great service and relief organizations served by many of the dedicated and creative volunteers in our community. The Ely Food Shelf will be serving soup, rolls, and coffee for a free will donation, with all proceeds going directly to the Food Shelf. There will be live music and an activity table to keep kids busy while parents shop. The sale is coordinated by St. Mary’s Episcopal Church.

CULTURAL EXCHANGE VOLEYBALL Wolves downed by Carlton by MARSHALL HELMBERGER Managing Editor HIBBING— Ely’s impressive Section 7A playoff run met the hard reality of the Carlton vol- leyball juggernaut last Wednesday, as the Bulldogs dominated in a straight-set victory, 25-12, 25-16, and 25-18 in the semi-final round. On Saturday, the top-seeded Bulldogs did it again, this time to Deer River, as they claimed the section title in three straight, 25-15, 25-19, and 25-9.

Outdoors briefly Vermilion state park to hold special deer hunt by MARSHALL HELMBERGER Managing Editor

LAKE VERMILION— You’ll want to be wearing blaze orange if you plan to visit the Lake Vermilion- Soudan Underground Mine State Park later this month. That’s because the park will hold a special muzzleloader deer hunt from Nov. 24 through Dec. 9 Dozens of Minnesota state parks are open to some form of deer hunting to help control deer populations. According to the Department of Natural Resources, the special hunts help to protect natural plant communities, which can be negatively affected by excessive deer browsing. While some parks close entirely, except to hunters during these special seasons, that’s not the case with the 2018 FIREARMS DEER SEASON Lake Vermilion park, which will remain open to public use throughout the hunt. In order to stay safe, the DNR recommends the following if you’re planning to visit a state park during a Those we leave behind special deer hunt. Wear blaze orange or For our favorite outdoor companions, deer season is a trying time other brightly colored cloth- ing, even if you will not be by MARSHALL HELMBERGER Above: Loki watches in pain as I hunting.
