Filled to the brim with sweets flowers love songs and pretty things Valentinersquos Day often gets a hard rap for being the most commercial of holidays Therersquos no denying that to some members of the community Valentinersquos Day means business For the florist baker artist and radio DJ Valentinersquos is not just another day Itrsquos a busy occasion that they all say is about a lot more than just material expressions of love and devotion Sandi McQuatters terra Bella Floral
ldquoValentinersquos Day means the end of the long cold winterrdquo said McQuatters
She enjoys a steady flow of customers all day long many of whom purchase red roses a floral token of true love and McQuattersrsquo best sellers on Valentinersquos Day
To McQuatters Valentinersquos Day is all about ldquotaking the time out of a busy schedule to show someone that we love themrdquo
ldquoItrsquos a great way to tell some-one that you care about themrdquo she said ldquoItrsquos too bad we donrsquot do it more oftenrdquo Staci Drouillard Lolarsquos Sweet Life Bakery
For Valentinersquos Day Lolarsquos Sweet Life Bakery fills with the smell of baking cupcakes filled with chocolate mousse lemon curd and raspberry mousse Drouillard also bakes heart-shaped shortbread cookie sandwiches filled with chewy caramel for the holiday
ldquoPersonally I really enjoy any holiday that asks you to take some time to celebrate the people who you loverdquo said Drouillard ldquoAnd any day that honors chocolate is more than okay with merdquo
Nancy Seaton artist and teacher of ldquoI Love Glassrdquo at the Grand Marais Art Colony on Feb 9
Seaton said shersquos always loved the idea of Valentinersquos Day As a young artist she made handmade cards Later she crafted Valentines with her young children Now she teaches the ldquoI Love Glassrdquo class at the Art Colony a one-day course devoted to making Valentinersquos Day inspired jewelry and glass art
ldquoSome people have used the class to make things for others Sometimes theyrsquove made things that will make them smile all yearrdquo said Seaton ldquoI think thatrsquos the real message of cel-ebrating Valentinersquos Day It makes us look at ourselves and ask if wersquore sharing our love ev-ery day If you need to make changes itrsquos your yearly wake-up callrdquo Cathy Quinn host of WtIP 907 FM Sidetracks music program
Quinn hosts a special requests version of Side-tracks for Valentinersquos Day that allows people to dedicate a favorite song to a loved one be it a spouse partner grandma or grandpa friend co-worker non-profit or even a pet Quinn whorsquos been doing the Valentinersquos Day request show for several years said she originally got the idea after reading the Valentinersquos Day mes-
sages in the Star Tribune personal section one year
Requests can be submitted before or during the show to requestsborealorg or by call-ing 387-1070 Usually listeners submit a brief message to their loved one with their song request said Quinn For example a request could be for the song ldquoAll of My Loverdquo by Led Zeppelin going out to Peanut from Pooky
ldquoI do think Valentinersquos Day is worth cel-ebrating but to me itrsquos not about couples or cheesy Hallmark cards I donrsquot like that Valentinersquos Day can put pressure on people or make them sadrdquo said Quinn ldquoThatrsquos why on Sidetracks we just try to have fun with it and include everyone Therersquos nothing wrong with taking the time to spread a little love to one an-other Life is hard enough and I think Valen-tinersquos Day is a good excuse to stop and let oth-ers know that you appreciate them The bigger question is why donrsquot we do that every dayrdquo

The boat launch on the southwest corner of Grand Marais Har-bor may be renovated to make the site more usable and environ-mentally friendly say city and Minnesota DNR officials who are working on a new plan for the site The DNR approached the city about renovating the access in 2011 when it had funding available The state agency would pay the design permitting and construction costs The city would be responsible for maintain-ing the access
The idea of improving the access site isnrsquot new says Dave Ter-steeg city parks and recreation director The present ramps are only suitable for launching smaller shallow-draft boats The projectrsquos primary goal is to create a deeper accessmdashsix to eight feet deepmdashto accommodate hydraulic trailers and possibly sail-boats Tersteeg expects to use floating docks similar to those in the Grand Marais Marina to reach the deeper water
The new launch and all facilities such as restrooms would be accessible to people with disabilities and thus compliant with federal regulations Tersteeg says the site would be designed as a public promenade that retains the present pavilion and the bench near the dog pound area allows pedestrian access in-cludes new tree plantings near the water and improves access to the rocky point Another amenity may be a new nonmotorized access for sea kayaks between the picnic pavilion and the exist-ing ramp
Indeed improving the green space is an important aspect of the project
ldquoThe city has emphasized the launch site de-sign needs to blend into the shoreline and retain the park-like feel of the harborrdquo says Joe Russell DNR area supervisor for parks and trails in Two Harbors
One DNR stipulation is the site must provide ad-equate parking for boats and trailers In current plans creating a parking area for the southwest launch includes relocating two public utility ga-rages although the cityrsquos Public Utilities Com-mission which manages them has not found a new location for the buildings or announced a time line for moving them A nearby area would be paved and striped for parking regardless if the buildings are moved Paving would allow for bet-ter storm water management on the site Eventu-ally the site may include an Aquatic Invasive Spe-cies Station where boats could steam-wash their boats after coming off the lake
While the launch location is fairly well-sheltered it is susceptible to south and southeast winds The DNR would assess the rock breakwater protecting the launch to determine if it needs improvements
Both the city Park Board and the City Council have approved a concept plan for the launch The next step is to enter into a partnership agreement with the DNR The Park Board has re-viewed a partnership agreement presented by the agency At this writing the City Council was scheduled to review it at its Jan 30 meeting Once the agreement is signed the DNR can get the
project into its budget possibly for 2014-15Tersteeg says so far the launch project has not been controver-
sial and it conforms to the Minnesota Land Trustrsquos conservation easement that protects the recreation area from commercial de-velopment There are three launches on the Harbor a DNR site on the east side near the Coast Guard Station constructed in 1986 a launch in the marina and the launch in the southwest corner
City DNR Plan to Build a Better Boat Launch
The plan for the new boat access includes a deeper launch paved parking and tree plantings

The ability to hear is something many of us take for granted For a long time Grand Marais resident Jeff Nemitz was one of those people Then a few months ago while going about his everyday routine everything changed
ldquoI had completely lost the hearing in my right earrdquo Nemitz said ldquoWhen you poke your finger in your ear you can hear something But at that point I could not hear anythingrdquo
After a few trips to the doctor and a steroid prescription Jeff began to regain some of the hearing he had lost Some of the damage was permanent however and he has had to adapt to the change
ldquoI have become very sensitive to loud soundssince that happenedrdquo Nemitz said ldquoIt is hard for me to listen to live music indoors like in bars and stuff I just do not enjoy it at allrdquo
What happened to Jeff is not uncommon Some 36 million Americans report some de-gree of hearing loss making it one of the most common physical conditions after arthritis and
heart disease according to the Hearing Loss Association of America Unlike Jeff however hearing loss comes on slowly for most people
ldquoIt is a really stealthy onsetrdquo Tim Osthus Duluth hearing instrument specialist said ldquoIt is not like one day they can hear and the next day they cannot It is something that happens over 20 to 30 years and each year it gets a tiny bit worserdquo
Once a person has hearing loss the worst im-pact is often on day-to-day conversations with friends and family
ldquoThey just realize holy cow I cannot hear a dang thing they are sayingrdquo Osthus said ldquoThat social isolation is something that happens slowly and they sometimes do not realize it is the hearing lossrdquo
For Jeff the inability to hear all of the voices in a conversation with a group of friends caused him to avoid situations where lots of people are talking at once
ldquoI have become a hermit I avoid events where there are a lot of voices and stuffrdquo Nemitz said ldquoI cannot hear their conversations Even at home I am often saying ldquohuhrdquo or ldquowhatrdquordquoS
The good news is that there are solutions for people who experience hearing loss
ldquoStep one is obviously coming in and being seenrdquo Osthus said ldquoThere are an awful lot of places that offer free hearing testingrdquo
Once a hearing loss patient has been seen by a doctor they can be fitted for a hearing aid or instrument In recent years advances in tech-nology have made hearing aids lighter and more comfortable for the people wearing them
ldquoThe modern-day hearing instrumentmdashthey are phenomenal in that they are so comfort-ablerdquo Osthus said ldquoIn a short period of time people forget they are wearing themrdquo
Just like glasses or braces a first-time wearer of hearing aids needs to allow them a period of adjustment
ldquoYou are basically retraining your brain to hear so right off the bat you are going to hear things in ways you have never heard before and sometimes it can be overwhelmingrdquo Ost-
hus said ldquoSome peoplesrsquo voices will have tones you have not heard so you might not recognize them and everyday things like running the faucet will sound like Niagara Falls but those things fade away with timerdquo
Hearing aids come in various styles from types that you can see to varieties that are not visible to others
ldquoWith all the people who have hearing loss only about 30 percent ever actually do some-thing about itrdquo Osthus said ldquoReally do you want to let those moments pass you byrdquo
For Jeff looking into hearing aids is just part of the process of dealing with his newly onset hearing loss
ldquoI am looking into it since they tell you that your brain tends to adapt to whatever yoursquove got to work with so the sooner you get it the less time you have to adaptrdquo Nemitz said ldquoIt is just something I am going to have to get used tordquo

Do you have a favorite restaurant on the North Shore A favorite server a favorite salad
We want to know and so do your favorite restaurants
Last year North Shore Highway 61 held the first ever Readerrsquos Choice Restaurant Awards survey and contest and more than 300 readers responded
It was a great success and the restaurants that won were really excited and honored
Wersquore doing it again this year and we hope yoursquoll participate
There are some cool categories like what restaurant has the best finger food or who is the best server on the North Shore
Where do you go to get the best breakfast the tastiest soup or steak And who has the best view
These are just a few of the categories in the Readerrsquos Choice Awards
The contest is the brain child of Sue OrsquoQuinn who works for Northern Wilds Media pub-lisher of North Shore Highway 61
Shawn Perich co-owner of Northern Wilds Media said he and fellow co-owner Amber Pratt immediately jumped on the idea when OrsquoQuinn proposed it
ldquoWe live in a community that has a tremen-dous variety of restaurants considering its sizerdquo Perich said ldquoWe have a lot of choices of good places to eat and theyrsquore not all serving the same standard fare We tried to come up with a contest that would reflect that and gen-erate a little excitement out there and we didrdquo
Perich said the restaurants were really pleased when they won
The contest also gave peo-ple a chance to recognize outstanding restaurants and servers And Janice Beck received a $50 gift cer-tificate to her favorite res-taurant when she won the contest drawing
When the Readers Choice Restaurant Awards was first
launched last year Perich said they had no idea what kind of responses they would get or from whom
ldquoThey came from all over the placerdquo he said ldquoIt wasnrsquot just locals And we were also sur-prised that restaurants that were closed in the winter still got votesrdquo
Angry Trout for example which is closed in the winter got firsts for Best Fish Best Salad and Best View Open year-round the Gun-flint Tavern got firsts for Best Soup Best Veg-gie Option Best Beer and best Finger Food The Crooked Spoon received firsts for the Best Steak Best Lunch and Food Prep
Sven amp Olersquos was chosen for being the Best Kid-Friendly and for having the Best Pizza Chez Jude won for the Best Wine List and tied with the Lemon Wolf in Beaver Bay for Best Sweets
Cascade Lodge Restaurant won for the Best Breakfast and My Sisterrsquos Place was voted as having the Best Burger on the North Shore
Last but not least Rob Larson server at the Trestle Inn was chosen as the Best Server on the North Shore
Each of the winners received plaques too so look for them the next time you visit your fa-vorite eatery
And vote for this yearrsquos winnersYou can find the 2013 Readerrsquos Choice
Restaurant Awards mail in ballots in this issue and the March issue or log onto our Website at wwwnorthshorehwy61com and vote One ballot each please
Wersquoll announce the winners in June and have the drawing for the lucky winner of the $50 gift certificate

Comments are due by Feb25 for the Minne-sota DNRrsquos proposal to authorize grant-in-aid trail funding for the 16-mile Cook County All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) Trail in Tom Lake area of Grand Portage State Forest in northeastern Minnesota
Cook County will sponsor the proposal and will provide trail development and mainte-nance in cooperation with the Cook County ATV Club
Located in the Grand Portage State Forest the trail follows existing forest access routes mini-mum maintenance roads and forest system roads The route was designated for ATV use
in 2007 as part of the DNRrsquos comprehensive multi-year state forest classification and desig-nation process
Adding the existing trail to the grant-in-aid system qualifies it for additional resources and funding that can be applied to trail signs main-tenance monitoring and repair The trail will be managed for ATV use although other public uses are allowed It may be closed at times for safety or to prevent erosion or trail damage

During the frozen days of late winter you donrsquot like to find wa-ter dripping from your roof down your walls But if your home is susceptible to ice dams this scenario may be all too familiar
More often than not ice dams are a dripping and damaging consequence of having an inadequately insulated roof cavity said Nace Hagemann of Nace Hagemann Construction For ice dams to form two things are needed warm air rising out of the building and snow on the roof
ldquoGenerally speaking warm air is moving through the roof cavityrdquo said Nate Works of Caribou Cabin Services ldquoHot air from the inside of your home warms the underside of the roof rsquos plywood and the snow melts aboverdquo
When the melted snow flows down the roof and hits the cold soffits at the roof rsquos edge the water freezes Over time frozen melted snow backs up on the roof creating an infamous ice dam On warm or sunny days the dam starts to melt some-times right into your home Or the dam may stop the snow melt before it gets to the cold soffits causing the water to flow back under your shingles and seep through your roof
ldquoThey can create a lot of damagerdquo said Works ldquoIf water gets into the rafter cavity the wet insulation can mold and if the in-sulationrsquos wet and never dries out it can rot the wood next to itrdquo
In addition ice dams can damage ceilings and stain sheetrock walls Ice dams deteriorate roofs and are hard on asphalt shin-gles said Works
Both Works and Hagemann agree that ice dams should be limited to older homes The amount of insulation required by current Minnesota building code should prevent ice dams on new construction said Works If your new home suffers from ice dams somethingrsquos wrong said Hagemann
Homesrsquo southern exposures can be slightly more susceptible to ice dams said Works although often the snow melted by the sun on homesrsquo south sides runs all the way off the roof without stopping on the soffits to form a dam
Homeowners can combat ice dams in a number of ways A popular solution is stapling heated cables onto roofs More so-phisticated ice melt systems that use aluminum panels to cover
heated cables can be installed near the bottom edge of the roof for permanent ice dam prevention
Not a fan of putting more holes in roofs by installing heated cables Hagemann suggests homeowners also look into insulating or vent-ing their roof cavity to keep the hot air causing ice dams from sitting there Vents that bring cold air in through the soffits help keep the roof cav-ity cool
ldquoHopefully the vents take care of [heat from the homersquos
interior] before the heat reaches the roofrdquo he said Hagemann said any type of blown-in insulation such as
spray foam will help prevent heat leakage better than rolled insulation
ldquoFiberglass insulation is tough to get really tightrdquo he said Both Works and Hagemann recommend a roof underlayment
like ice and water membrane between the shingles and the roof rsquos plywood to further deter water seepage from the roof
Homeowners should remember that ice dams canrsquot form if there isnrsquot snow on your roof said Works A roof shovel or rake with an extendible handle lets homeowners remove snow from their roofs while they stand on the ground Removing snow should be homeownersrsquo first step when dealing with an existing ice dam he said
You should resist the ill-advised temptation to climb on the roof to hack away at the ice build-up
ldquoYou stand a chance of hurting yourself and your roofrdquo said Works
Personally Hagemann feels homeowners are better off shov-eling their roofs than installing a metal roof which are often lauded for their easy care Hagemann said he prefers the insula-tive qualities of asphalt shingles and hersquos also not fond of the rapid speed that ice and snow can slide off metal roofs which could injure people and critters who might be caught in falling snowrsquos path
If snow removal doesnrsquot alleviate the ice dam problem Works said he uses hot water spray from a pressure washer system with a heater to slowly melt away the ice Most professional equip-ment designed for ice dam removal uses hot water he said which although time consuming is the safest and most effec-tive method for dealing with ice dams
When it comes to ice dams prevention is always preferable to clamoring on an ice-slick roof

Filled to the brim with sweets flowers love songs and pretty things Valentinersquos Day often gets a hard rap for being the most commercial of holidays Therersquos no denying that to some members of the community Valentinersquos Day means business For the florist baker artist and radio DJ Valentinersquos is not just another day Itrsquos a busy occasion that they all say is about a lot more than just material expressions of love and devotion Sandi McQuatters terra Bella Floral
ldquoValentinersquos Day means the end of the long cold winterrdquo said McQuatters
She enjoys a steady flow of customers all day long many of whom purchase red roses a floral token of true love and McQuattersrsquo best sellers on Valentinersquos Day
To McQuatters Valentinersquos Day is all about ldquotaking the time out of a busy schedule to show someone that we love themrdquo
ldquoItrsquos a great way to tell some-one that you care about themrdquo she said ldquoItrsquos too bad we donrsquot do it more oftenrdquo Staci Drouillard Lolarsquos Sweet Life Bakery
For Valentinersquos Day Lolarsquos Sweet Life Bakery fills with the smell of baking cupcakes filled with chocolate mousse lemon curd and raspberry mousse Drouillard also bakes heart-shaped shortbread cookie sandwiches filled with chewy caramel for the holiday
ldquoPersonally I really enjoy any holiday that asks you to take some time to celebrate the people who you loverdquo said Drouillard ldquoAnd any day that honors chocolate is more than okay with merdquo
Nancy Seaton artist and teacher of ldquoI Love Glassrdquo at the Grand Marais Art Colony on Feb 9
Seaton said shersquos always loved the idea of Valentinersquos Day As a young artist she made handmade cards Later she crafted Valentines with her young children Now she teaches the ldquoI Love Glassrdquo class at the Art Colony a one-day course devoted to making Valentinersquos Day inspired jewelry and glass art
ldquoSome people have used the class to make things for others Sometimes theyrsquove made things that will make them smile all yearrdquo said Seaton ldquoI think thatrsquos the real message of cel-ebrating Valentinersquos Day It makes us look at ourselves and ask if wersquore sharing our love ev-ery day If you need to make changes itrsquos your yearly wake-up callrdquo Cathy Quinn host of WtIP 907 FM Sidetracks music program
Quinn hosts a special requests version of Side-tracks for Valentinersquos Day that allows people to dedicate a favorite song to a loved one be it a spouse partner grandma or grandpa friend co-worker non-profit or even a pet Quinn whorsquos been doing the Valentinersquos Day request show for several years said she originally got the idea after reading the Valentinersquos Day mes-
sages in the Star Tribune personal section one year
Requests can be submitted before or during the show to requestsborealorg or by call-ing 387-1070 Usually listeners submit a brief message to their loved one with their song request said Quinn For example a request could be for the song ldquoAll of My Loverdquo by Led Zeppelin going out to Peanut from Pooky
ldquoI do think Valentinersquos Day is worth cel-ebrating but to me itrsquos not about couples or cheesy Hallmark cards I donrsquot like that Valentinersquos Day can put pressure on people or make them sadrdquo said Quinn ldquoThatrsquos why on Sidetracks we just try to have fun with it and include everyone Therersquos nothing wrong with taking the time to spread a little love to one an-other Life is hard enough and I think Valen-tinersquos Day is a good excuse to stop and let oth-ers know that you appreciate them The bigger question is why donrsquot we do that every dayrdquo

The boat launch on the southwest corner of Grand Marais Har-bor may be renovated to make the site more usable and environ-mentally friendly say city and Minnesota DNR officials who are working on a new plan for the site The DNR approached the city about renovating the access in 2011 when it had funding available The state agency would pay the design permitting and construction costs The city would be responsible for maintain-ing the access
The idea of improving the access site isnrsquot new says Dave Ter-steeg city parks and recreation director The present ramps are only suitable for launching smaller shallow-draft boats The projectrsquos primary goal is to create a deeper accessmdashsix to eight feet deepmdashto accommodate hydraulic trailers and possibly sail-boats Tersteeg expects to use floating docks similar to those in the Grand Marais Marina to reach the deeper water
The new launch and all facilities such as restrooms would be accessible to people with disabilities and thus compliant with federal regulations Tersteeg says the site would be designed as a public promenade that retains the present pavilion and the bench near the dog pound area allows pedestrian access in-cludes new tree plantings near the water and improves access to the rocky point Another amenity may be a new nonmotorized access for sea kayaks between the picnic pavilion and the exist-ing ramp
Indeed improving the green space is an important aspect of the project
ldquoThe city has emphasized the launch site de-sign needs to blend into the shoreline and retain the park-like feel of the harborrdquo says Joe Russell DNR area supervisor for parks and trails in Two Harbors
One DNR stipulation is the site must provide ad-equate parking for boats and trailers In current plans creating a parking area for the southwest launch includes relocating two public utility ga-rages although the cityrsquos Public Utilities Com-mission which manages them has not found a new location for the buildings or announced a time line for moving them A nearby area would be paved and striped for parking regardless if the buildings are moved Paving would allow for bet-ter storm water management on the site Eventu-ally the site may include an Aquatic Invasive Spe-cies Station where boats could steam-wash their boats after coming off the lake
While the launch location is fairly well-sheltered it is susceptible to south and southeast winds The DNR would assess the rock breakwater protecting the launch to determine if it needs improvements
Both the city Park Board and the City Council have approved a concept plan for the launch The next step is to enter into a partnership agreement with the DNR The Park Board has re-viewed a partnership agreement presented by the agency At this writing the City Council was scheduled to review it at its Jan 30 meeting Once the agreement is signed the DNR can get the
project into its budget possibly for 2014-15Tersteeg says so far the launch project has not been controver-
sial and it conforms to the Minnesota Land Trustrsquos conservation easement that protects the recreation area from commercial de-velopment There are three launches on the Harbor a DNR site on the east side near the Coast Guard Station constructed in 1986 a launch in the marina and the launch in the southwest corner
City DNR Plan to Build a Better Boat Launch
The plan for the new boat access includes a deeper launch paved parking and tree plantings

The ability to hear is something many of us take for granted For a long time Grand Marais resident Jeff Nemitz was one of those people Then a few months ago while going about his everyday routine everything changed
ldquoI had completely lost the hearing in my right earrdquo Nemitz said ldquoWhen you poke your finger in your ear you can hear something But at that point I could not hear anythingrdquo
After a few trips to the doctor and a steroid prescription Jeff began to regain some of the hearing he had lost Some of the damage was permanent however and he has had to adapt to the change
ldquoI have become very sensitive to loud soundssince that happenedrdquo Nemitz said ldquoIt is hard for me to listen to live music indoors like in bars and stuff I just do not enjoy it at allrdquo
What happened to Jeff is not uncommon Some 36 million Americans report some de-gree of hearing loss making it one of the most common physical conditions after arthritis and
heart disease according to the Hearing Loss Association of America Unlike Jeff however hearing loss comes on slowly for most people
ldquoIt is a really stealthy onsetrdquo Tim Osthus Duluth hearing instrument specialist said ldquoIt is not like one day they can hear and the next day they cannot It is something that happens over 20 to 30 years and each year it gets a tiny bit worserdquo
Once a person has hearing loss the worst im-pact is often on day-to-day conversations with friends and family
ldquoThey just realize holy cow I cannot hear a dang thing they are sayingrdquo Osthus said ldquoThat social isolation is something that happens slowly and they sometimes do not realize it is the hearing lossrdquo
For Jeff the inability to hear all of the voices in a conversation with a group of friends caused him to avoid situations where lots of people are talking at once
ldquoI have become a hermit I avoid events where there are a lot of voices and stuffrdquo Nemitz said ldquoI cannot hear their conversations Even at home I am often saying ldquohuhrdquo or ldquowhatrdquordquoS
The good news is that there are solutions for people who experience hearing loss
ldquoStep one is obviously coming in and being seenrdquo Osthus said ldquoThere are an awful lot of places that offer free hearing testingrdquo
Once a hearing loss patient has been seen by a doctor they can be fitted for a hearing aid or instrument In recent years advances in tech-nology have made hearing aids lighter and more comfortable for the people wearing them
ldquoThe modern-day hearing instrumentmdashthey are phenomenal in that they are so comfort-ablerdquo Osthus said ldquoIn a short period of time people forget they are wearing themrdquo
Just like glasses or braces a first-time wearer of hearing aids needs to allow them a period of adjustment
ldquoYou are basically retraining your brain to hear so right off the bat you are going to hear things in ways you have never heard before and sometimes it can be overwhelmingrdquo Ost-
hus said ldquoSome peoplesrsquo voices will have tones you have not heard so you might not recognize them and everyday things like running the faucet will sound like Niagara Falls but those things fade away with timerdquo
Hearing aids come in various styles from types that you can see to varieties that are not visible to others
ldquoWith all the people who have hearing loss only about 30 percent ever actually do some-thing about itrdquo Osthus said ldquoReally do you want to let those moments pass you byrdquo
For Jeff looking into hearing aids is just part of the process of dealing with his newly onset hearing loss
ldquoI am looking into it since they tell you that your brain tends to adapt to whatever yoursquove got to work with so the sooner you get it the less time you have to adaptrdquo Nemitz said ldquoIt is just something I am going to have to get used tordquo

Do you have a favorite restaurant on the North Shore A favorite server a favorite salad
We want to know and so do your favorite restaurants
Last year North Shore Highway 61 held the first ever Readerrsquos Choice Restaurant Awards survey and contest and more than 300 readers responded
It was a great success and the restaurants that won were really excited and honored
Wersquore doing it again this year and we hope yoursquoll participate
There are some cool categories like what restaurant has the best finger food or who is the best server on the North Shore
Where do you go to get the best breakfast the tastiest soup or steak And who has the best view
These are just a few of the categories in the Readerrsquos Choice Awards
The contest is the brain child of Sue OrsquoQuinn who works for Northern Wilds Media pub-lisher of North Shore Highway 61
Shawn Perich co-owner of Northern Wilds Media said he and fellow co-owner Amber Pratt immediately jumped on the idea when OrsquoQuinn proposed it
ldquoWe live in a community that has a tremen-dous variety of restaurants considering its sizerdquo Perich said ldquoWe have a lot of choices of good places to eat and theyrsquore not all serving the same standard fare We tried to come up with a contest that would reflect that and gen-erate a little excitement out there and we didrdquo
Perich said the restaurants were really pleased when they won
The contest also gave peo-ple a chance to recognize outstanding restaurants and servers And Janice Beck received a $50 gift cer-tificate to her favorite res-taurant when she won the contest drawing
When the Readers Choice Restaurant Awards was first
launched last year Perich said they had no idea what kind of responses they would get or from whom
ldquoThey came from all over the placerdquo he said ldquoIt wasnrsquot just locals And we were also sur-prised that restaurants that were closed in the winter still got votesrdquo
Angry Trout for example which is closed in the winter got firsts for Best Fish Best Salad and Best View Open year-round the Gun-flint Tavern got firsts for Best Soup Best Veg-gie Option Best Beer and best Finger Food The Crooked Spoon received firsts for the Best Steak Best Lunch and Food Prep
Sven amp Olersquos was chosen for being the Best Kid-Friendly and for having the Best Pizza Chez Jude won for the Best Wine List and tied with the Lemon Wolf in Beaver Bay for Best Sweets
Cascade Lodge Restaurant won for the Best Breakfast and My Sisterrsquos Place was voted as having the Best Burger on the North Shore
Last but not least Rob Larson server at the Trestle Inn was chosen as the Best Server on the North Shore
Each of the winners received plaques too so look for them the next time you visit your fa-vorite eatery
And vote for this yearrsquos winnersYou can find the 2013 Readerrsquos Choice
Restaurant Awards mail in ballots in this issue and the March issue or log onto our Website at wwwnorthshorehwy61com and vote One ballot each please

Comments are due by Feb25 for the Minne-sota DNRrsquos proposal to authorize grant-in-aid trail funding for the 16-mile Cook County All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) Trail in Tom Lake area of Grand Portage State Forest in northeastern Minnesota
Cook County will sponsor the proposal and will provide trail development and mainte-nance in cooperation with the Cook County ATV Club
Located in the Grand Portage State Forest the trail follows existing forest access routes mini-mum maintenance roads and forest system roads The route was designated for ATV use
in 2007 as part of the DNRrsquos comprehensive multi-year state forest classification and desig-nation process
Adding the existing trail to the grant-in-aid system qualifies it for additional resources and funding that can be applied to trail signs main-tenance monitoring and repair The trail will be managed for ATV use although other public uses are allowed It may be closed at times for safety or to prevent erosion or trail damage

During the frozen days of late winter you donrsquot like to find wa-ter dripping from your roof down your walls But if your home is susceptible to ice dams this scenario may be all too familiar
More often than not ice dams are a dripping and damaging consequence of having an inadequately insulated roof cavity said Nace Hagemann of Nace Hagemann Construction For ice dams to form two things are needed warm air rising out of the building and snow on the roof
ldquoGenerally speaking warm air is moving through the roof cavityrdquo said Nate Works of Caribou Cabin Services ldquoHot air from the inside of your home warms the underside of the roof rsquos plywood and the snow melts aboverdquo
When the melted snow flows down the roof and hits the cold soffits at the roof rsquos edge the water freezes Over time frozen melted snow backs up on the roof creating an infamous ice dam On warm or sunny days the dam starts to melt some-times right into your home Or the dam may stop the snow melt before it gets to the cold soffits causing the water to flow back under your shingles and seep through your roof
ldquoThey can create a lot of damagerdquo said Works ldquoIf water gets into the rafter cavity the wet insulation can mold and if the in-sulationrsquos wet and never dries out it can rot the wood next to itrdquo
In addition ice dams can damage ceilings and stain sheetrock walls Ice dams deteriorate roofs and are hard on asphalt shin-gles said Works
Both Works and Hagemann agree that ice dams should be limited to older homes The amount of insulation required by current Minnesota building code should prevent ice dams on new construction said Works If your new home suffers from ice dams somethingrsquos wrong said Hagemann
Homesrsquo southern exposures can be slightly more susceptible to ice dams said Works although often the snow melted by the sun on homesrsquo south sides runs all the way off the roof without stopping on the soffits to form a dam
Homeowners can combat ice dams in a number of ways A popular solution is stapling heated cables onto roofs More so-phisticated ice melt systems that use aluminum panels to cover
heated cables can be installed near the bottom edge of the roof for permanent ice dam prevention
Not a fan of putting more holes in roofs by installing heated cables Hagemann suggests homeowners also look into insulating or vent-ing their roof cavity to keep the hot air causing ice dams from sitting there Vents that bring cold air in through the soffits help keep the roof cav-ity cool
ldquoHopefully the vents take care of [heat from the homersquos
interior] before the heat reaches the roofrdquo he said Hagemann said any type of blown-in insulation such as
spray foam will help prevent heat leakage better than rolled insulation
ldquoFiberglass insulation is tough to get really tightrdquo he said Both Works and Hagemann recommend a roof underlayment
like ice and water membrane between the shingles and the roof rsquos plywood to further deter water seepage from the roof
Homeowners should remember that ice dams canrsquot form if there isnrsquot snow on your roof said Works A roof shovel or rake with an extendible handle lets homeowners remove snow from their roofs while they stand on the ground Removing snow should be homeownersrsquo first step when dealing with an existing ice dam he said
You should resist the ill-advised temptation to climb on the roof to hack away at the ice build-up
ldquoYou stand a chance of hurting yourself and your roofrdquo said Works
Personally Hagemann feels homeowners are better off shov-eling their roofs than installing a metal roof which are often lauded for their easy care Hagemann said he prefers the insula-tive qualities of asphalt shingles and hersquos also not fond of the rapid speed that ice and snow can slide off metal roofs which could injure people and critters who might be caught in falling snowrsquos path
If snow removal doesnrsquot alleviate the ice dam problem Works said he uses hot water spray from a pressure washer system with a heater to slowly melt away the ice Most professional equip-ment designed for ice dam removal uses hot water he said which although time consuming is the safest and most effec-tive method for dealing with ice dams
When it comes to ice dams prevention is always preferable to clamoring on an ice-slick roof

Filled to the brim with sweets flowers love songs and pretty things Valentinersquos Day often gets a hard rap for being the most commercial of holidays Therersquos no denying that to some members of the community Valentinersquos Day means business For the florist baker artist and radio DJ Valentinersquos is not just another day Itrsquos a busy occasion that they all say is about a lot more than just material expressions of love and devotion Sandi McQuatters terra Bella Floral
ldquoValentinersquos Day means the end of the long cold winterrdquo said McQuatters
She enjoys a steady flow of customers all day long many of whom purchase red roses a floral token of true love and McQuattersrsquo best sellers on Valentinersquos Day
To McQuatters Valentinersquos Day is all about ldquotaking the time out of a busy schedule to show someone that we love themrdquo
ldquoItrsquos a great way to tell some-one that you care about themrdquo she said ldquoItrsquos too bad we donrsquot do it more oftenrdquo Staci Drouillard Lolarsquos Sweet Life Bakery
For Valentinersquos Day Lolarsquos Sweet Life Bakery fills with the smell of baking cupcakes filled with chocolate mousse lemon curd and raspberry mousse Drouillard also bakes heart-shaped shortbread cookie sandwiches filled with chewy caramel for the holiday
ldquoPersonally I really enjoy any holiday that asks you to take some time to celebrate the people who you loverdquo said Drouillard ldquoAnd any day that honors chocolate is more than okay with merdquo
Nancy Seaton artist and teacher of ldquoI Love Glassrdquo at the Grand Marais Art Colony on Feb 9
Seaton said shersquos always loved the idea of Valentinersquos Day As a young artist she made handmade cards Later she crafted Valentines with her young children Now she teaches the ldquoI Love Glassrdquo class at the Art Colony a one-day course devoted to making Valentinersquos Day inspired jewelry and glass art
ldquoSome people have used the class to make things for others Sometimes theyrsquove made things that will make them smile all yearrdquo said Seaton ldquoI think thatrsquos the real message of cel-ebrating Valentinersquos Day It makes us look at ourselves and ask if wersquore sharing our love ev-ery day If you need to make changes itrsquos your yearly wake-up callrdquo Cathy Quinn host of WtIP 907 FM Sidetracks music program
Quinn hosts a special requests version of Side-tracks for Valentinersquos Day that allows people to dedicate a favorite song to a loved one be it a spouse partner grandma or grandpa friend co-worker non-profit or even a pet Quinn whorsquos been doing the Valentinersquos Day request show for several years said she originally got the idea after reading the Valentinersquos Day mes-
sages in the Star Tribune personal section one year
Requests can be submitted before or during the show to requestsborealorg or by call-ing 387-1070 Usually listeners submit a brief message to their loved one with their song request said Quinn For example a request could be for the song ldquoAll of My Loverdquo by Led Zeppelin going out to Peanut from Pooky
ldquoI do think Valentinersquos Day is worth cel-ebrating but to me itrsquos not about couples or cheesy Hallmark cards I donrsquot like that Valentinersquos Day can put pressure on people or make them sadrdquo said Quinn ldquoThatrsquos why on Sidetracks we just try to have fun with it and include everyone Therersquos nothing wrong with taking the time to spread a little love to one an-other Life is hard enough and I think Valen-tinersquos Day is a good excuse to stop and let oth-ers know that you appreciate them The bigger question is why donrsquot we do that every dayrdquo

The boat launch on the southwest corner of Grand Marais Har-bor may be renovated to make the site more usable and environ-mentally friendly say city and Minnesota DNR officials who are working on a new plan for the site The DNR approached the city about renovating the access in 2011 when it had funding available The state agency would pay the design permitting and construction costs The city would be responsible for maintain-ing the access
The idea of improving the access site isnrsquot new says Dave Ter-steeg city parks and recreation director The present ramps are only suitable for launching smaller shallow-draft boats The projectrsquos primary goal is to create a deeper accessmdashsix to eight feet deepmdashto accommodate hydraulic trailers and possibly sail-boats Tersteeg expects to use floating docks similar to those in the Grand Marais Marina to reach the deeper water
The new launch and all facilities such as restrooms would be accessible to people with disabilities and thus compliant with federal regulations Tersteeg says the site would be designed as a public promenade that retains the present pavilion and the bench near the dog pound area allows pedestrian access in-cludes new tree plantings near the water and improves access to the rocky point Another amenity may be a new nonmotorized access for sea kayaks between the picnic pavilion and the exist-ing ramp
Indeed improving the green space is an important aspect of the project
ldquoThe city has emphasized the launch site de-sign needs to blend into the shoreline and retain the park-like feel of the harborrdquo says Joe Russell DNR area supervisor for parks and trails in Two Harbors
One DNR stipulation is the site must provide ad-equate parking for boats and trailers In current plans creating a parking area for the southwest launch includes relocating two public utility ga-rages although the cityrsquos Public Utilities Com-mission which manages them has not found a new location for the buildings or announced a time line for moving them A nearby area would be paved and striped for parking regardless if the buildings are moved Paving would allow for bet-ter storm water management on the site Eventu-ally the site may include an Aquatic Invasive Spe-cies Station where boats could steam-wash their boats after coming off the lake
While the launch location is fairly well-sheltered it is susceptible to south and southeast winds The DNR would assess the rock breakwater protecting the launch to determine if it needs improvements
Both the city Park Board and the City Council have approved a concept plan for the launch The next step is to enter into a partnership agreement with the DNR The Park Board has re-viewed a partnership agreement presented by the agency At this writing the City Council was scheduled to review it at its Jan 30 meeting Once the agreement is signed the DNR can get the
project into its budget possibly for 2014-15Tersteeg says so far the launch project has not been controver-
sial and it conforms to the Minnesota Land Trustrsquos conservation easement that protects the recreation area from commercial de-velopment There are three launches on the Harbor a DNR site on the east side near the Coast Guard Station constructed in 1986 a launch in the marina and the launch in the southwest corner
City DNR Plan to Build a Better Boat Launch
The plan for the new boat access includes a deeper launch paved parking and tree plantings

The ability to hear is something many of us take for granted For a long time Grand Marais resident Jeff Nemitz was one of those people Then a few months ago while going about his everyday routine everything changed
ldquoI had completely lost the hearing in my right earrdquo Nemitz said ldquoWhen you poke your finger in your ear you can hear something But at that point I could not hear anythingrdquo
After a few trips to the doctor and a steroid prescription Jeff began to regain some of the hearing he had lost Some of the damage was permanent however and he has had to adapt to the change
ldquoI have become very sensitive to loud soundssince that happenedrdquo Nemitz said ldquoIt is hard for me to listen to live music indoors like in bars and stuff I just do not enjoy it at allrdquo
What happened to Jeff is not uncommon Some 36 million Americans report some de-gree of hearing loss making it one of the most common physical conditions after arthritis and
heart disease according to the Hearing Loss Association of America Unlike Jeff however hearing loss comes on slowly for most people
ldquoIt is a really stealthy onsetrdquo Tim Osthus Duluth hearing instrument specialist said ldquoIt is not like one day they can hear and the next day they cannot It is something that happens over 20 to 30 years and each year it gets a tiny bit worserdquo
Once a person has hearing loss the worst im-pact is often on day-to-day conversations with friends and family
ldquoThey just realize holy cow I cannot hear a dang thing they are sayingrdquo Osthus said ldquoThat social isolation is something that happens slowly and they sometimes do not realize it is the hearing lossrdquo
For Jeff the inability to hear all of the voices in a conversation with a group of friends caused him to avoid situations where lots of people are talking at once
ldquoI have become a hermit I avoid events where there are a lot of voices and stuffrdquo Nemitz said ldquoI cannot hear their conversations Even at home I am often saying ldquohuhrdquo or ldquowhatrdquordquoS
The good news is that there are solutions for people who experience hearing loss
ldquoStep one is obviously coming in and being seenrdquo Osthus said ldquoThere are an awful lot of places that offer free hearing testingrdquo
Once a hearing loss patient has been seen by a doctor they can be fitted for a hearing aid or instrument In recent years advances in tech-nology have made hearing aids lighter and more comfortable for the people wearing them
ldquoThe modern-day hearing instrumentmdashthey are phenomenal in that they are so comfort-ablerdquo Osthus said ldquoIn a short period of time people forget they are wearing themrdquo
Just like glasses or braces a first-time wearer of hearing aids needs to allow them a period of adjustment
ldquoYou are basically retraining your brain to hear so right off the bat you are going to hear things in ways you have never heard before and sometimes it can be overwhelmingrdquo Ost-
hus said ldquoSome peoplesrsquo voices will have tones you have not heard so you might not recognize them and everyday things like running the faucet will sound like Niagara Falls but those things fade away with timerdquo
Hearing aids come in various styles from types that you can see to varieties that are not visible to others
ldquoWith all the people who have hearing loss only about 30 percent ever actually do some-thing about itrdquo Osthus said ldquoReally do you want to let those moments pass you byrdquo
For Jeff looking into hearing aids is just part of the process of dealing with his newly onset hearing loss
ldquoI am looking into it since they tell you that your brain tends to adapt to whatever yoursquove got to work with so the sooner you get it the less time you have to adaptrdquo Nemitz said ldquoIt is just something I am going to have to get used tordquo

Do you have a favorite restaurant on the North Shore A favorite server a favorite salad
We want to know and so do your favorite restaurants
Last year North Shore Highway 61 held the first ever Readerrsquos Choice Restaurant Awards survey and contest and more than 300 readers responded
It was a great success and the restaurants that won were really excited and honored
Wersquore doing it again this year and we hope yoursquoll participate
There are some cool categories like what restaurant has the best finger food or who is the best server on the North Shore
Where do you go to get the best breakfast the tastiest soup or steak And who has the best view
These are just a few of the categories in the Readerrsquos Choice Awards
The contest is the brain child of Sue OrsquoQuinn who works for Northern Wilds Media pub-lisher of North Shore Highway 61
Shawn Perich co-owner of Northern Wilds Media said he and fellow co-owner Amber Pratt immediately jumped on the idea when OrsquoQuinn proposed it
ldquoWe live in a community that has a tremen-dous variety of restaurants considering its sizerdquo Perich said ldquoWe have a lot of choices of good places to eat and theyrsquore not all serving the same standard fare We tried to come up with a contest that would reflect that and gen-erate a little excitement out there and we didrdquo
Perich said the restaurants were really pleased when they won
The contest also gave peo-ple a chance to recognize outstanding restaurants and servers And Janice Beck received a $50 gift cer-tificate to her favorite res-taurant when she won the contest drawing
When the Readers Choice Restaurant Awards was first
launched last year Perich said they had no idea what kind of responses they would get or from whom
ldquoThey came from all over the placerdquo he said ldquoIt wasnrsquot just locals And we were also sur-prised that restaurants that were closed in the winter still got votesrdquo
Angry Trout for example which is closed in the winter got firsts for Best Fish Best Salad and Best View Open year-round the Gun-flint Tavern got firsts for Best Soup Best Veg-gie Option Best Beer and best Finger Food The Crooked Spoon received firsts for the Best Steak Best Lunch and Food Prep
Sven amp Olersquos was chosen for being the Best Kid-Friendly and for having the Best Pizza Chez Jude won for the Best Wine List and tied with the Lemon Wolf in Beaver Bay for Best Sweets
Cascade Lodge Restaurant won for the Best Breakfast and My Sisterrsquos Place was voted as having the Best Burger on the North Shore
Last but not least Rob Larson server at the Trestle Inn was chosen as the Best Server on the North Shore
Each of the winners received plaques too so look for them the next time you visit your fa-vorite eatery
And vote for this yearrsquos winnersYou can find the 2013 Readerrsquos Choice

COmPUTER continued from page 10
Comments are due by Feb25 for the Minne-sota DNRrsquos proposal to authorize grant-in-aid trail funding for the 16-mile Cook County All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) Trail in Tom Lake area of Grand Portage State Forest in northeastern Minnesota
Cook County will sponsor the proposal and will provide trail development and mainte-nance in cooperation with the Cook County ATV Club
Located in the Grand Portage State Forest the trail follows existing forest access routes mini-mum maintenance roads and forest system roads The route was designated for ATV use
in 2007 as part of the DNRrsquos comprehensive multi-year state forest classification and desig-nation process
Adding the existing trail to the grant-in-aid system qualifies it for additional resources and funding that can be applied to trail signs main-tenance monitoring and repair The trail will be managed for ATV use although other public uses are allowed It may be closed at times for safety or to prevent erosion or trail damage
For information or a printed map and copy of the proposal contact Kevin Johnson assistant area supervisor DNR Parks and Trails Divi-sion Two Harbors

During the frozen days of late winter you donrsquot like to find wa-ter dripping from your roof down your walls But if your home is susceptible to ice dams this scenario may be all too familiar
More often than not ice dams are a dripping and damaging consequence of having an inadequately insulated roof cavity said Nace Hagemann of Nace Hagemann Construction For ice dams to form two things are needed warm air rising out of the building and snow on the roof
ldquoGenerally speaking warm air is moving through the roof cavityrdquo said Nate Works of Caribou Cabin Services ldquoHot air from the inside of your home warms the underside of the roof rsquos plywood and the snow melts aboverdquo
When the melted snow flows down the roof and hits the cold soffits at the roof rsquos edge the water freezes Over time frozen melted snow backs up on the roof creating an infamous ice dam On warm or sunny days the dam starts to melt some-times right into your home Or the dam may stop the snow melt before it gets to the cold soffits causing the water to flow back under your shingles and seep through your roof
ldquoThey can create a lot of damagerdquo said Works ldquoIf water gets into the rafter cavity the wet insulation can mold and if the in-sulationrsquos wet and never dries out it can rot the wood next to itrdquo
In addition ice dams can damage ceilings and stain sheetrock walls Ice dams deteriorate roofs and are hard on asphalt shin-gles said Works
Both Works and Hagemann agree that ice dams should be limited to older homes The amount of insulation required by current Minnesota building code should prevent ice dams on new construction said Works If your new home suffers from ice dams somethingrsquos wrong said Hagemann
Homesrsquo southern exposures can be slightly more susceptible to ice dams said Works although often the snow melted by the sun on homesrsquo south sides runs all the way off the roof without stopping on the soffits to form a dam
Homeowners can combat ice dams in a number of ways A popular solution is stapling heated cables onto roofs More so-phisticated ice melt systems that use aluminum panels to cover
heated cables can be installed near the bottom edge of the roof for permanent ice dam prevention
Not a fan of putting more holes in roofs by installing heated cables Hagemann suggests homeowners also look into insulating or vent-ing their roof cavity to keep the hot air causing ice dams from sitting there Vents that bring cold air in through the soffits help keep the roof cav-ity cool
ldquoHopefully the vents take care of [heat from the homersquos
interior] before the heat reaches the roofrdquo he said Hagemann said any type of blown-in insulation such as
spray foam will help prevent heat leakage better than rolled insulation
ldquoFiberglass insulation is tough to get really tightrdquo he said Both Works and Hagemann recommend a roof underlayment
like ice and water membrane between the shingles and the roof rsquos plywood to further deter water seepage from the roof
Homeowners should remember that ice dams canrsquot form if there isnrsquot snow on your roof said Works A roof shovel or rake with an extendible handle lets homeowners remove snow from their roofs while they stand on the ground Removing snow should be homeownersrsquo first step when dealing with an existing ice dam he said
You should resist the ill-advised temptation to climb on the roof to hack away at the ice build-up
ldquoYou stand a chance of hurting yourself and your roofrdquo said Works
Personally Hagemann feels homeowners are better off shov-eling their roofs than installing a metal roof which are often lauded for their easy care Hagemann said he prefers the insula-tive qualities of asphalt shingles and hersquos also not fond of the rapid speed that ice and snow can slide off metal roofs which could injure people and critters who might be caught in falling snowrsquos path
If snow removal doesnrsquot alleviate the ice dam problem Works said he uses hot water spray from a pressure washer system with a heater to slowly melt away the ice Most professional equip-ment designed for ice dam removal uses hot water he said which although time consuming is the safest and most effec-tive method for dealing with ice dams
When it comes to ice dams prevention is always preferable to clamoring on an ice-slick roof

Filled to the brim with sweets flowers love songs and pretty things Valentinersquos Day often gets a hard rap for being the most commercial of holidays Therersquos no denying that to some members of the community Valentinersquos Day means business For the florist baker artist and radio DJ Valentinersquos is not just another day Itrsquos a busy occasion that they all say is about a lot more than just material expressions of love and devotion Sandi McQuatters terra Bella Floral
ldquoValentinersquos Day means the end of the long cold winterrdquo said McQuatters
She enjoys a steady flow of customers all day long many of whom purchase red roses a floral token of true love and McQuattersrsquo best sellers on Valentinersquos Day
To McQuatters Valentinersquos Day is all about ldquotaking the time out of a busy schedule to show someone that we love themrdquo
ldquoItrsquos a great way to tell some-one that you care about themrdquo she said ldquoItrsquos too bad we donrsquot do it more oftenrdquo Staci Drouillard Lolarsquos Sweet Life Bakery
For Valentinersquos Day Lolarsquos Sweet Life Bakery fills with the smell of baking cupcakes filled with chocolate mousse lemon curd and raspberry mousse Drouillard also bakes heart-shaped shortbread cookie sandwiches filled with chewy caramel for the holiday
ldquoPersonally I really enjoy any holiday that asks you to take some time to celebrate the people who you loverdquo said Drouillard ldquoAnd any day that honors chocolate is more than okay with merdquo
Nancy Seaton artist and teacher of ldquoI Love Glassrdquo at the Grand Marais Art Colony on Feb 9
Seaton said shersquos always loved the idea of Valentinersquos Day As a young artist she made handmade cards Later she crafted Valentines with her young children Now she teaches the ldquoI Love Glassrdquo class at the Art Colony a one-day course devoted to making Valentinersquos Day inspired jewelry and glass art
ldquoSome people have used the class to make things for others Sometimes theyrsquove made things that will make them smile all yearrdquo said Seaton ldquoI think thatrsquos the real message of cel-ebrating Valentinersquos Day It makes us look at ourselves and ask if wersquore sharing our love ev-ery day If you need to make changes itrsquos your yearly wake-up callrdquo Cathy Quinn host of WtIP 907 FM Sidetracks music program
Quinn hosts a special requests version of Side-tracks for Valentinersquos Day that allows people to dedicate a favorite song to a loved one be it a spouse partner grandma or grandpa friend co-worker non-profit or even a pet Quinn whorsquos been doing the Valentinersquos Day request show for several years said she originally got the idea after reading the Valentinersquos Day mes-
sages in the Star Tribune personal section one year
Requests can be submitted before or during the show to requestsborealorg or by call-ing 387-1070 Usually listeners submit a brief message to their loved one with their song request said Quinn For example a request could be for the song ldquoAll of My Loverdquo by Led Zeppelin going out to Peanut from Pooky
ldquoI do think Valentinersquos Day is worth cel-ebrating but to me itrsquos not about couples or cheesy Hallmark cards I donrsquot like that Valentinersquos Day can put pressure on people or make them sadrdquo said Quinn ldquoThatrsquos why on Sidetracks we just try to have fun with it and include everyone Therersquos nothing wrong with taking the time to spread a little love to one an-other Life is hard enough and I think Valen-tinersquos Day is a good excuse to stop and let oth-ers know that you appreciate them The bigger question is why donrsquot we do that every dayrdquo

The boat launch on the southwest corner of Grand Marais Har-bor may be renovated to make the site more usable and environ-mentally friendly say city and Minnesota DNR officials who are working on a new plan for the site The DNR approached the city about renovating the access in 2011 when it had funding available The state agency would pay the design permitting and construction costs The city would be responsible for maintain-ing the access
The idea of improving the access site isnrsquot new says Dave Ter-steeg city parks and recreation director The present ramps are only suitable for launching smaller shallow-draft boats The projectrsquos primary goal is to create a deeper accessmdashsix to eight feet deepmdashto accommodate hydraulic trailers and possibly sail-boats Tersteeg expects to use floating docks similar to those in the Grand Marais Marina to reach the deeper water
The new launch and all facilities such as restrooms would be accessible to people with disabilities and thus compliant with federal regulations Tersteeg says the site would be designed as a public promenade that retains the present pavilion and the bench near the dog pound area allows pedestrian access in-cludes new tree plantings near the water and improves access to the rocky point Another amenity may be a new nonmotorized access for sea kayaks between the picnic pavilion and the exist-ing ramp
Indeed improving the green space is an important aspect of the project
ldquoThe city has emphasized the launch site de-sign needs to blend into the shoreline and retain the park-like feel of the harborrdquo says Joe Russell DNR area supervisor for parks and trails in Two Harbors
One DNR stipulation is the site must provide ad-equate parking for boats and trailers In current plans creating a parking area for the southwest launch includes relocating two public utility ga-rages although the cityrsquos Public Utilities Com-mission which manages them has not found a new location for the buildings or announced a time line for moving them A nearby area would be paved and striped for parking regardless if the buildings are moved Paving would allow for bet-ter storm water management on the site Eventu-ally the site may include an Aquatic Invasive Spe-cies Station where boats could steam-wash their boats after coming off the lake
While the launch location is fairly well-sheltered it is susceptible to south and southeast winds The DNR would assess the rock breakwater protecting the launch to determine if it needs improvements
Both the city Park Board and the City Council have approved a concept plan for the launch The next step is to enter into a partnership agreement with the DNR The Park Board has re-viewed a partnership agreement presented by the agency At this writing the City Council was scheduled to review it at its Jan 30 meeting Once the agreement is signed the DNR can get the
project into its budget possibly for 2014-15Tersteeg says so far the launch project has not been controver-
sial and it conforms to the Minnesota Land Trustrsquos conservation easement that protects the recreation area from commercial de-velopment There are three launches on the Harbor a DNR site on the east side near the Coast Guard Station constructed in 1986 a launch in the marina and the launch in the southwest corner
City DNR Plan to Build a Better Boat Launch
The plan for the new boat access includes a deeper launch paved parking and tree plantings

The ability to hear is something many of us take for granted For a long time Grand Marais resident Jeff Nemitz was one of those people Then a few months ago while going about his everyday routine everything changed
ldquoI had completely lost the hearing in my right earrdquo Nemitz said ldquoWhen you poke your finger in your ear you can hear something But at that point I could not hear anythingrdquo
After a few trips to the doctor and a steroid prescription Jeff began to regain some of the hearing he had lost Some of the damage was permanent however and he has had to adapt to the change
ldquoI have become very sensitive to loud soundssince that happenedrdquo Nemitz said ldquoIt is hard for me to listen to live music indoors like in bars and stuff I just do not enjoy it at allrdquo
What happened to Jeff is not uncommon Some 36 million Americans report some de-gree of hearing loss making it one of the most common physical conditions after arthritis and
heart disease according to the Hearing Loss Association of America Unlike Jeff however hearing loss comes on slowly for most people
ldquoIt is a really stealthy onsetrdquo Tim Osthus Duluth hearing instrument specialist said ldquoIt is not like one day they can hear and the next day they cannot It is something that happens over 20 to 30 years and each year it gets a tiny bit worserdquo
Once a person has hearing loss the worst im-pact is often on day-to-day conversations with friends and family
ldquoThey just realize holy cow I cannot hear a dang thing they are sayingrdquo Osthus said ldquoThat social isolation is something that happens slowly and they sometimes do not realize it is the hearing lossrdquo
For Jeff the inability to hear all of the voices in a conversation with a group of friends caused him to avoid situations where lots of people are talking at once
ldquoI have become a hermit I avoid events where there are a lot of voices and stuffrdquo Nemitz said ldquoI cannot hear their conversations Even at home I am often saying ldquohuhrdquo or ldquowhatrdquordquoS
The good news is that there are solutions for people who experience hearing loss
ldquoStep one is obviously coming in and being seenrdquo Osthus said ldquoThere are an awful lot of places that offer free hearing testingrdquo
Once a hearing loss patient has been seen by a doctor they can be fitted for a hearing aid or instrument In recent years advances in tech-nology have made hearing aids lighter and more comfortable for the people wearing them
ldquoThe modern-day hearing instrumentmdashthey are phenomenal in that they are so comfort-ablerdquo Osthus said ldquoIn a short period of time people forget they are wearing themrdquo
Just like glasses or braces a first-time wearer of hearing aids needs to allow them a period of adjustment
ldquoYou are basically retraining your brain to hear so right off the bat you are going to hear things in ways you have never heard before and sometimes it can be overwhelmingrdquo Ost-
hus said ldquoSome peoplesrsquo voices will have tones you have not heard so you might not recognize them and everyday things like running the faucet will sound like Niagara Falls but those things fade away with timerdquo
Hearing aids come in various styles from types that you can see to varieties that are not visible to others
ldquoWith all the people who have hearing loss only about 30 percent ever actually do some-thing about itrdquo Osthus said ldquoReally do you want to let those moments pass you byrdquo
For Jeff looking into hearing aids is just part of the process of dealing with his newly onset hearing loss
ldquoI am looking into it since they tell you that your brain tends to adapt to whatever yoursquove got to work with so the sooner you get it the less time you have to adaptrdquo Nemitz said ldquoIt is just something I am going to have to get used tordquo

Do you have a favorite restaurant on the North Shore A favorite server a favorite salad
We want to know and so do your favorite restaurants
Last year North Shore Highway 61 held the first ever Readerrsquos Choice Restaurant Awards survey and contest and more than 300 readers responded
It was a great success and the restaurants that won were really excited and honored
Wersquore doing it again this year and we hope yoursquoll participate
There are some cool categories like what restaurant has the best finger food or who is the best server on the North Shore
Where do you go to get the best breakfast the tastiest soup or steak And who has the best view
These are just a few of the categories in the Readerrsquos Choice Awards
The contest is the brain child of Sue OrsquoQuinn who works for Northern Wilds Media pub-lisher of North Shore Highway 61
Shawn Perich co-owner of Northern Wilds Media said he and fellow co-owner Amber Pratt immediately jumped on the idea when OrsquoQuinn proposed it
ldquoWe live in a community that has a tremen-dous variety of restaurants considering its sizerdquo Perich said ldquoWe have a lot of choices of good places to eat and theyrsquore not all serving the same standard fare We tried to come up with a contest that would reflect that and gen-erate a little excitement out there and we didrdquo
Perich said the restaurants were really pleased when they won
The contest also gave peo-ple a chance to recognize outstanding restaurants and servers And Janice Beck received a $50 gift cer-tificate to her favorite res-taurant when she won the contest drawing
When the Readers Choice Restaurant Awards was first
launched last year Perich said they had no idea what kind of responses they would get or from whom
ldquoThey came from all over the placerdquo he said ldquoIt wasnrsquot just locals And we were also sur-prised that restaurants that were closed in the winter still got votesrdquo
Angry Trout for example which is closed in the winter got firsts for Best Fish Best Salad and Best View Open year-round the Gun-flint Tavern got firsts for Best Soup Best Veg-gie Option Best Beer and best Finger Food The Crooked Spoon received firsts for the Best Steak Best Lunch and Food Prep
Sven amp Olersquos was chosen for being the Best Kid-Friendly and for having the Best Pizza Chez Jude won for the Best Wine List and tied with the Lemon Wolf in Beaver Bay for Best Sweets

COmPUTER continued from page 10
Comments are due by Feb25 for the Minne-sota DNRrsquos proposal to authorize grant-in-aid trail funding for the 16-mile Cook County All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) Trail in Tom Lake area of Grand Portage State Forest in northeastern Minnesota
Cook County will sponsor the proposal and will provide trail development and mainte-nance in cooperation with the Cook County ATV Club
Located in the Grand Portage State Forest the trail follows existing forest access routes mini-mum maintenance roads and forest system roads The route was designated for ATV use
in 2007 as part of the DNRrsquos comprehensive multi-year state forest classification and desig-nation process
Adding the existing trail to the grant-in-aid system qualifies it for additional resources and funding that can be applied to trail signs main-tenance monitoring and repair The trail will be managed for ATV use although other public uses are allowed It may be closed at times for safety or to prevent erosion or trail damage

By Ada Igoe
During the frozen days of late winter you donrsquot like to find wa-ter dripping from your roof down your walls But if your home is susceptible to ice dams this scenario may be all too familiar
More often than not ice dams are a dripping and damaging consequence of having an inadequately insulated roof cavity said Nace Hagemann of Nace Hagemann Construction For ice dams to form two things are needed warm air rising out of the building and snow on the roof
ldquoGenerally speaking warm air is moving through the roof cavityrdquo said Nate Works of Caribou Cabin Services ldquoHot air from the inside of your home warms the underside of the roof rsquos plywood and the snow melts aboverdquo
When the melted snow flows down the roof and hits the cold soffits at the roof rsquos edge the water freezes Over time frozen melted snow backs up on the roof creating an infamous ice dam On warm or sunny days the dam starts to melt some-times right into your home Or the dam may stop the snow melt before it gets to the cold soffits causing the water to flow back under your shingles and seep through your roof
ldquoThey can create a lot of damagerdquo said Works ldquoIf water gets into the rafter cavity the wet insulation can mold and if the in-sulationrsquos wet and never dries out it can rot the wood next to itrdquo
In addition ice dams can damage ceilings and stain sheetrock walls Ice dams deteriorate roofs and are hard on asphalt shin-gles said Works
Both Works and Hagemann agree that ice dams should be limited to older homes The amount of insulation required by current Minnesota building code should prevent ice dams on new construction said Works If your new home suffers from ice dams somethingrsquos wrong said Hagemann
Homesrsquo southern exposures can be slightly more susceptible to ice dams said Works although often the snow melted by the sun on homesrsquo south sides runs all the way off the roof without stopping on the soffits to form a dam
Homeowners can combat ice dams in a number of ways A popular solution is stapling heated cables onto roofs More so-phisticated ice melt systems that use aluminum panels to cover
heated cables can be installed near the bottom edge of the roof for permanent ice dam prevention
Not a fan of putting more holes in roofs by installing heated cables Hagemann suggests homeowners also look into insulating or vent-ing their roof cavity to keep the hot air causing ice dams from sitting there Vents that bring cold air in through the soffits help keep the roof cav-ity cool
ldquoHopefully the vents take care of [heat from the homersquos
interior] before the heat reaches the roofrdquo he said Hagemann said any type of blown-in insulation such as
spray foam will help prevent heat leakage better than rolled insulation
ldquoFiberglass insulation is tough to get really tightrdquo he said Both Works and Hagemann recommend a roof underlayment
like ice and water membrane between the shingles and the roof rsquos plywood to further deter water seepage from the roof
Homeowners should remember that ice dams canrsquot form if there isnrsquot snow on your roof said Works A roof shovel or rake with an extendible handle lets homeowners remove snow from their roofs while they stand on the ground Removing snow should be homeownersrsquo first step when dealing with an existing ice dam he said
You should resist the ill-advised temptation to climb on the roof to hack away at the ice build-up
ldquoYou stand a chance of hurting yourself and your roofrdquo said Works
Personally Hagemann feels homeowners are better off shov-eling their roofs than installing a metal roof which are often lauded for their easy care Hagemann said he prefers the insula-tive qualities of asphalt shingles and hersquos also not fond of the rapid speed that ice and snow can slide off metal roofs which could injure people and critters who might be caught in falling snowrsquos path
If snow removal doesnrsquot alleviate the ice dam problem Works said he uses hot water spray from a pressure washer system with a heater to slowly melt away the ice Most professional equip-ment designed for ice dam removal uses hot water he said which although time consuming is the safest and most effec-tive method for dealing with ice dams
When it comes to ice dams prevention is always preferable to clamoring on an ice-slick roof

Filled to the brim with sweets flowers love songs and pretty things Valentinersquos Day often gets a hard rap for being the most commercial of holidays Therersquos no denying that to some members of the community Valentinersquos Day means business For the florist baker artist and radio DJ Valentinersquos is not just another day Itrsquos a busy occasion that they all say is about a lot more than just material expressions of love and devotion Sandi McQuatters terra Bella Floral
ldquoValentinersquos Day means the end of the long cold winterrdquo said McQuatters
She enjoys a steady flow of customers all day long many of whom purchase red roses a floral token of true love and McQuattersrsquo best sellers on Valentinersquos Day
To McQuatters Valentinersquos Day is all about ldquotaking the time out of a busy schedule to show someone that we love themrdquo
ldquoItrsquos a great way to tell some-one that you care about themrdquo she said ldquoItrsquos too bad we donrsquot do it more oftenrdquo Staci Drouillard Lolarsquos Sweet Life Bakery
For Valentinersquos Day Lolarsquos Sweet Life Bakery fills with the smell of baking cupcakes filled with chocolate mousse lemon curd and raspberry mousse Drouillard also bakes heart-shaped shortbread cookie sandwiches filled with chewy caramel for the holiday
ldquoPersonally I really enjoy any holiday that asks you to take some time to celebrate the people who you loverdquo said Drouillard ldquoAnd any day that honors chocolate is more than okay with merdquo
Nancy Seaton artist and teacher of ldquoI Love Glassrdquo at the Grand Marais Art Colony on Feb 9
Seaton said shersquos always loved the idea of Valentinersquos Day As a young artist she made handmade cards Later she crafted Valentines with her young children Now she teaches the ldquoI Love Glassrdquo class at the Art Colony a one-day course devoted to making Valentinersquos Day inspired jewelry and glass art
ldquoSome people have used the class to make things for others Sometimes theyrsquove made things that will make them smile all yearrdquo said Seaton ldquoI think thatrsquos the real message of cel-ebrating Valentinersquos Day It makes us look at ourselves and ask if wersquore sharing our love ev-ery day If you need to make changes itrsquos your yearly wake-up callrdquo Cathy Quinn host of WtIP 907 FM Sidetracks music program
Quinn hosts a special requests version of Side-tracks for Valentinersquos Day that allows people to dedicate a favorite song to a loved one be it a spouse partner grandma or grandpa friend co-worker non-profit or even a pet Quinn whorsquos been doing the Valentinersquos Day request show for several years said she originally got the idea after reading the Valentinersquos Day mes-
sages in the Star Tribune personal section one year
Requests can be submitted before or during the show to requestsborealorg or by call-ing 387-1070 Usually listeners submit a brief message to their loved one with their song request said Quinn For example a request could be for the song ldquoAll of My Loverdquo by Led Zeppelin going out to Peanut from Pooky
ldquoI do think Valentinersquos Day is worth cel-ebrating but to me itrsquos not about couples or cheesy Hallmark cards I donrsquot like that Valentinersquos Day can put pressure on people or make them sadrdquo said Quinn ldquoThatrsquos why on Sidetracks we just try to have fun with it and include everyone Therersquos nothing wrong with taking the time to spread a little love to one an-other Life is hard enough and I think Valen-tinersquos Day is a good excuse to stop and let oth-ers know that you appreciate them The bigger question is why donrsquot we do that every dayrdquo

The boat launch on the southwest corner of Grand Marais Har-bor may be renovated to make the site more usable and environ-mentally friendly say city and Minnesota DNR officials who are working on a new plan for the site The DNR approached the city about renovating the access in 2011 when it had funding available The state agency would pay the design permitting and construction costs The city would be responsible for maintain-ing the access
The idea of improving the access site isnrsquot new says Dave Ter-steeg city parks and recreation director The present ramps are only suitable for launching smaller shallow-draft boats The projectrsquos primary goal is to create a deeper accessmdashsix to eight feet deepmdashto accommodate hydraulic trailers and possibly sail-boats Tersteeg expects to use floating docks similar to those in the Grand Marais Marina to reach the deeper water
The new launch and all facilities such as restrooms would be accessible to people with disabilities and thus compliant with federal regulations Tersteeg says the site would be designed as a public promenade that retains the present pavilion and the bench near the dog pound area allows pedestrian access in-cludes new tree plantings near the water and improves access to the rocky point Another amenity may be a new nonmotorized access for sea kayaks between the picnic pavilion and the exist-ing ramp
Indeed improving the green space is an important aspect of the project
ldquoThe city has emphasized the launch site de-sign needs to blend into the shoreline and retain the park-like feel of the harborrdquo says Joe Russell DNR area supervisor for parks and trails in Two Harbors
One DNR stipulation is the site must provide ad-equate parking for boats and trailers In current plans creating a parking area for the southwest launch includes relocating two public utility ga-rages although the cityrsquos Public Utilities Com-mission which manages them has not found a new location for the buildings or announced a time line for moving them A nearby area would be paved and striped for parking regardless if the buildings are moved Paving would allow for bet-ter storm water management on the site Eventu-ally the site may include an Aquatic Invasive Spe-cies Station where boats could steam-wash their boats after coming off the lake
While the launch location is fairly well-sheltered it is susceptible to south and southeast winds The DNR would assess the rock breakwater protecting the launch to determine if it needs improvements
Both the city Park Board and the City Council have approved a concept plan for the launch The next step is to enter into a partnership agreement with the DNR The Park Board has re-viewed a partnership agreement presented by the agency At this writing the City Council was scheduled to review it at its Jan 30 meeting Once the agreement is signed the DNR can get the
project into its budget possibly for 2014-15Tersteeg says so far the launch project has not been controver-
sial and it conforms to the Minnesota Land Trustrsquos conservation easement that protects the recreation area from commercial de-velopment There are three launches on the Harbor a DNR site on the east side near the Coast Guard Station constructed in 1986 a launch in the marina and the launch in the southwest corner
City DNR Plan to Build a Better Boat Launch
The plan for the new boat access includes a deeper launch paved parking and tree plantings

The ability to hear is something many of us take for granted For a long time Grand Marais resident Jeff Nemitz was one of those people Then a few months ago while going about his everyday routine everything changed
ldquoI had completely lost the hearing in my right earrdquo Nemitz said ldquoWhen you poke your finger in your ear you can hear something But at that point I could not hear anythingrdquo
After a few trips to the doctor and a steroid prescription Jeff began to regain some of the hearing he had lost Some of the damage was permanent however and he has had to adapt to the change
ldquoI have become very sensitive to loud soundssince that happenedrdquo Nemitz said ldquoIt is hard for me to listen to live music indoors like in bars and stuff I just do not enjoy it at allrdquo
What happened to Jeff is not uncommon Some 36 million Americans report some de-gree of hearing loss making it one of the most common physical conditions after arthritis and
heart disease according to the Hearing Loss Association of America Unlike Jeff however hearing loss comes on slowly for most people
ldquoIt is a really stealthy onsetrdquo Tim Osthus Duluth hearing instrument specialist said ldquoIt is not like one day they can hear and the next day they cannot It is something that happens over 20 to 30 years and each year it gets a tiny bit worserdquo
Once a person has hearing loss the worst im-pact is often on day-to-day conversations with friends and family
ldquoThey just realize holy cow I cannot hear a dang thing they are sayingrdquo Osthus said ldquoThat social isolation is something that happens slowly and they sometimes do not realize it is the hearing lossrdquo
For Jeff the inability to hear all of the voices in a conversation with a group of friends caused him to avoid situations where lots of people are talking at once
ldquoI have become a hermit I avoid events where there are a lot of voices and stuffrdquo Nemitz said ldquoI cannot hear their conversations Even at home I am often saying ldquohuhrdquo or ldquowhatrdquordquoS
The good news is that there are solutions for people who experience hearing loss
ldquoStep one is obviously coming in and being seenrdquo Osthus said ldquoThere are an awful lot of places that offer free hearing testingrdquo
Once a hearing loss patient has been seen by a doctor they can be fitted for a hearing aid or instrument In recent years advances in tech-nology have made hearing aids lighter and more comfortable for the people wearing them
ldquoThe modern-day hearing instrumentmdashthey are phenomenal in that they are so comfort-ablerdquo Osthus said ldquoIn a short period of time people forget they are wearing themrdquo
Just like glasses or braces a first-time wearer of hearing aids needs to allow them a period of adjustment
ldquoYou are basically retraining your brain to hear so right off the bat you are going to hear things in ways you have never heard before and sometimes it can be overwhelmingrdquo Ost-
hus said ldquoSome peoplesrsquo voices will have tones you have not heard so you might not recognize them and everyday things like running the faucet will sound like Niagara Falls but those things fade away with timerdquo
Hearing aids come in various styles from types that you can see to varieties that are not visible to others
ldquoWith all the people who have hearing loss only about 30 percent ever actually do some-thing about itrdquo Osthus said ldquoReally do you want to let those moments pass you byrdquo
For Jeff looking into hearing aids is just part of the process of dealing with his newly onset hearing loss
ldquoI am looking into it since they tell you that your brain tends to adapt to whatever yoursquove got to work with so the sooner you get it the less time you have to adaptrdquo Nemitz said ldquoIt is just something I am going to have to get used tordquo

Do you have a favorite restaurant on the North Shore A favorite server a favorite salad
We want to know and so do your favorite restaurants
Last year North Shore Highway 61 held the first ever Readerrsquos Choice Restaurant Awards survey and contest and more than 300 readers responded
It was a great success and the restaurants that won were really excited and honored
Wersquore doing it again this year and we hope yoursquoll participate
There are some cool categories like what restaurant has the best finger food or who is the best server on the North Shore
Where do you go to get the best breakfast the tastiest soup or steak And who has the best view
These are just a few of the categories in the Readerrsquos Choice Awards
The contest is the brain child of Sue OrsquoQuinn who works for Northern Wilds Media pub-lisher of North Shore Highway 61
Shawn Perich co-owner of Northern Wilds Media said he and fellow co-owner Amber Pratt immediately jumped on the idea when OrsquoQuinn proposed it
ldquoWe live in a community that has a tremen-dous variety of restaurants considering its sizerdquo Perich said ldquoWe have a lot of choices of good places to eat and theyrsquore not all serving the same standard fare We tried to come up with a contest that would reflect that and gen-erate a little excitement out there and we didrdquo
Perich said the restaurants were really pleased when they won
The contest also gave peo-ple a chance to recognize outstanding restaurants and servers And Janice Beck received a $50 gift cer-tificate to her favorite res-taurant when she won the contest drawing
When the Readers Choice Restaurant Awards was first
launched last year Perich said they had no idea what kind of responses they would get or from whom
ldquoThey came from all over the placerdquo he said ldquoIt wasnrsquot just locals And we were also sur-prised that restaurants that were closed in the winter still got votesrdquo
Angry Trout for example which is closed in the winter got firsts for Best Fish Best Salad and Best View Open year-round the Gun-flint Tavern got firsts for Best Soup Best Veg-gie Option Best Beer and best Finger Food The Crooked Spoon received firsts for the Best Steak Best Lunch and Food Prep
Sven amp Olersquos was chosen for being the Best Kid-Friendly and for having the Best Pizza Chez Jude won for the Best Wine List and tied with the Lemon Wolf in Beaver Bay for Best Sweets
Cascade Lodge Restaurant won for the Best Breakfast and My Sisterrsquos Place was voted as having the Best Burger on the North Shore
Last but not least Rob Larson server at the Trestle Inn was chosen as the Best Server on the North Shore
Each of the winners received plaques too so look for them the next time you visit your fa-vorite eatery
And vote for this yearrsquos winnersYou can find the 2013 Readerrsquos Choice

Comments are due by Feb25 for the Minne-sota DNRrsquos proposal to authorize grant-in-aid trail funding for the 16-mile Cook County All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) Trail in Tom Lake area of Grand Portage State Forest in northeastern Minnesota
Cook County will sponsor the proposal and will provide trail development and mainte-nance in cooperation with the Cook County ATV Club
Located in the Grand Portage State Forest the trail follows existing forest access routes mini-mum maintenance roads and forest system roads The route was designated for ATV use

During the frozen days of late winter you donrsquot like to find wa-ter dripping from your roof down your walls But if your home is susceptible to ice dams this scenario may be all too familiar
More often than not ice dams are a dripping and damaging consequence of having an inadequately insulated roof cavity said Nace Hagemann of Nace Hagemann Construction For ice dams to form two things are needed warm air rising out of the building and snow on the roof
ldquoGenerally speaking warm air is moving through the roof cavityrdquo said Nate Works of Caribou Cabin Services ldquoHot air from the inside of your home warms the underside of the roof rsquos plywood and the snow melts aboverdquo
When the melted snow flows down the roof and hits the cold soffits at the roof rsquos edge the water freezes Over time frozen melted snow backs up on the roof creating an infamous ice dam On warm or sunny days the dam starts to melt some-times right into your home Or the dam may stop the snow melt before it gets to the cold soffits causing the water to flow back under your shingles and seep through your roof
ldquoThey can create a lot of damagerdquo said Works ldquoIf water gets into the rafter cavity the wet insulation can mold and if the in-sulationrsquos wet and never dries out it can rot the wood next to itrdquo
In addition ice dams can damage ceilings and stain sheetrock walls Ice dams deteriorate roofs and are hard on asphalt shin-gles said Works
Both Works and Hagemann agree that ice dams should be limited to older homes The amount of insulation required by current Minnesota building code should prevent ice dams on new construction said Works If your new home suffers from ice dams somethingrsquos wrong said Hagemann
Homesrsquo southern exposures can be slightly more susceptible to ice dams said Works although often the snow melted by the sun on homesrsquo south sides runs all the way off the roof without stopping on the soffits to form a dam
Homeowners can combat ice dams in a number of ways A popular solution is stapling heated cables onto roofs More so-phisticated ice melt systems that use aluminum panels to cover
heated cables can be installed near the bottom edge of the roof for permanent ice dam prevention
Not a fan of putting more holes in roofs by installing heated cables Hagemann suggests homeowners also look into insulating or vent-ing their roof cavity to keep the hot air causing ice dams from sitting there Vents that bring cold air in through the soffits help keep the roof cav-ity cool
ldquoHopefully the vents take care of [heat from the homersquos
interior] before the heat reaches the roofrdquo he said Hagemann said any type of blown-in insulation such as
spray foam will help prevent heat leakage better than rolled insulation
ldquoFiberglass insulation is tough to get really tightrdquo he said Both Works and Hagemann recommend a roof underlayment
like ice and water membrane between the shingles and the roof rsquos plywood to further deter water seepage from the roof
Homeowners should remember that ice dams canrsquot form if there isnrsquot snow on your roof said Works A roof shovel or rake with an extendible handle lets homeowners remove snow from their roofs while they stand on the ground Removing snow should be homeownersrsquo first step when dealing with an existing ice dam he said
You should resist the ill-advised temptation to climb on the roof to hack away at the ice build-up
ldquoYou stand a chance of hurting yourself and your roofrdquo said Works
Personally Hagemann feels homeowners are better off shov-eling their roofs than installing a metal roof which are often lauded for their easy care Hagemann said he prefers the insula-tive qualities of asphalt shingles and hersquos also not fond of the rapid speed that ice and snow can slide off metal roofs which could injure people and critters who might be caught in falling snowrsquos path
If snow removal doesnrsquot alleviate the ice dam problem Works said he uses hot water spray from a pressure washer system with a heater to slowly melt away the ice Most professional equip-ment designed for ice dam removal uses hot water he said which although time consuming is the safest and most effec-tive method for dealing with ice dams
When it comes to ice dams prevention is always preferable to clamoring on an ice-slick roof

Filled to the brim with sweets flowers love songs and pretty things Valentinersquos Day often gets a hard rap for being the most commercial of holidays Therersquos no denying that to some members of the community Valentinersquos Day means business For the florist baker artist and radio DJ Valentinersquos is not just another day Itrsquos a busy occasion that they all say is about a lot more than just material expressions of love and devotion Sandi McQuatters terra Bella Floral
ldquoValentinersquos Day means the end of the long cold winterrdquo said McQuatters
She enjoys a steady flow of customers all day long many of whom purchase red roses a floral token of true love and McQuattersrsquo best sellers on Valentinersquos Day
To McQuatters Valentinersquos Day is all about ldquotaking the time out of a busy schedule to show someone that we love themrdquo
ldquoItrsquos a great way to tell some-one that you care about themrdquo she said ldquoItrsquos too bad we donrsquot do it more oftenrdquo Staci Drouillard Lolarsquos Sweet Life Bakery
For Valentinersquos Day Lolarsquos Sweet Life Bakery fills with the smell of baking cupcakes filled with chocolate mousse lemon curd and raspberry mousse Drouillard also bakes heart-shaped shortbread cookie sandwiches filled with chewy caramel for the holiday
ldquoPersonally I really enjoy any holiday that asks you to take some time to celebrate the people who you loverdquo said Drouillard ldquoAnd any day that honors chocolate is more than okay with merdquo
Nancy Seaton artist and teacher of ldquoI Love Glassrdquo at the Grand Marais Art Colony on Feb 9
Seaton said shersquos always loved the idea of Valentinersquos Day As a young artist she made handmade cards Later she crafted Valentines with her young children Now she teaches the ldquoI Love Glassrdquo class at the Art Colony a one-day course devoted to making Valentinersquos Day inspired jewelry and glass art
ldquoSome people have used the class to make things for others Sometimes theyrsquove made things that will make them smile all yearrdquo said Seaton ldquoI think thatrsquos the real message of cel-ebrating Valentinersquos Day It makes us look at ourselves and ask if wersquore sharing our love ev-ery day If you need to make changes itrsquos your yearly wake-up callrdquo Cathy Quinn host of WtIP 907 FM Sidetracks music program
Quinn hosts a special requests version of Side-tracks for Valentinersquos Day that allows people to dedicate a favorite song to a loved one be it a spouse partner grandma or grandpa friend co-worker non-profit or even a pet Quinn whorsquos been doing the Valentinersquos Day request show for several years said she originally got the idea after reading the Valentinersquos Day mes-
sages in the Star Tribune personal section one year
Requests can be submitted before or during the show to requestsborealorg or by call-ing 387-1070 Usually listeners submit a brief message to their loved one with their song request said Quinn For example a request could be for the song ldquoAll of My Loverdquo by Led Zeppelin going out to Peanut from Pooky
ldquoI do think Valentinersquos Day is worth cel-ebrating but to me itrsquos not about couples or cheesy Hallmark cards I donrsquot like that Valentinersquos Day can put pressure on people or make them sadrdquo said Quinn ldquoThatrsquos why on Sidetracks we just try to have fun with it and include everyone Therersquos nothing wrong with taking the time to spread a little love to one an-other Life is hard enough and I think Valen-tinersquos Day is a good excuse to stop and let oth-ers know that you appreciate them The bigger question is why donrsquot we do that every dayrdquo

The boat launch on the southwest corner of Grand Marais Har-bor may be renovated to make the site more usable and environ-mentally friendly say city and Minnesota DNR officials who are working on a new plan for the site The DNR approached the city about renovating the access in 2011 when it had funding available The state agency would pay the design permitting and construction costs The city would be responsible for maintain-ing the access
The idea of improving the access site isnrsquot new says Dave Ter-steeg city parks and recreation director The present ramps are only suitable for launching smaller shallow-draft boats The projectrsquos primary goal is to create a deeper accessmdashsix to eight feet deepmdashto accommodate hydraulic trailers and possibly sail-boats Tersteeg expects to use floating docks similar to those in the Grand Marais Marina to reach the deeper water
The new launch and all facilities such as restrooms would be accessible to people with disabilities and thus compliant with federal regulations Tersteeg says the site would be designed as a public promenade that retains the present pavilion and the bench near the dog pound area allows pedestrian access in-cludes new tree plantings near the water and improves access to the rocky point Another amenity may be a new nonmotorized access for sea kayaks between the picnic pavilion and the exist-ing ramp
Indeed improving the green space is an important aspect of the project
ldquoThe city has emphasized the launch site de-sign needs to blend into the shoreline and retain the park-like feel of the harborrdquo says Joe Russell DNR area supervisor for parks and trails in Two Harbors
One DNR stipulation is the site must provide ad-equate parking for boats and trailers In current plans creating a parking area for the southwest launch includes relocating two public utility ga-rages although the cityrsquos Public Utilities Com-mission which manages them has not found a new location for the buildings or announced a time line for moving them A nearby area would be paved and striped for parking regardless if the buildings are moved Paving would allow for bet-ter storm water management on the site Eventu-ally the site may include an Aquatic Invasive Spe-cies Station where boats could steam-wash their boats after coming off the lake
While the launch location is fairly well-sheltered it is susceptible to south and southeast winds The DNR would assess the rock breakwater protecting the launch to determine if it needs improvements
Both the city Park Board and the City Council have approved a concept plan for the launch The next step is to enter into a partnership agreement with the DNR The Park Board has re-viewed a partnership agreement presented by the agency At this writing the City Council was scheduled to review it at its Jan 30 meeting Once the agreement is signed the DNR can get the
project into its budget possibly for 2014-15Tersteeg says so far the launch project has not been controver-
sial and it conforms to the Minnesota Land Trustrsquos conservation easement that protects the recreation area from commercial de-velopment There are three launches on the Harbor a DNR site on the east side near the Coast Guard Station constructed in 1986 a launch in the marina and the launch in the southwest corner
City DNR Plan to Build a Better Boat Launch
The plan for the new boat access includes a deeper launch paved parking and tree plantings

The ability to hear is something many of us take for granted For a long time Grand Marais resident Jeff Nemitz was one of those people Then a few months ago while going about his everyday routine everything changed
ldquoI had completely lost the hearing in my right earrdquo Nemitz said ldquoWhen you poke your finger in your ear you can hear something But at that point I could not hear anythingrdquo
After a few trips to the doctor and a steroid prescription Jeff began to regain some of the hearing he had lost Some of the damage was permanent however and he has had to adapt to the change
ldquoI have become very sensitive to loud soundssince that happenedrdquo Nemitz said ldquoIt is hard for me to listen to live music indoors like in bars and stuff I just do not enjoy it at allrdquo
What happened to Jeff is not uncommon Some 36 million Americans report some de-gree of hearing loss making it one of the most common physical conditions after arthritis and
heart disease according to the Hearing Loss Association of America Unlike Jeff however hearing loss comes on slowly for most people
ldquoIt is a really stealthy onsetrdquo Tim Osthus Duluth hearing instrument specialist said ldquoIt is not like one day they can hear and the next day they cannot It is something that happens over 20 to 30 years and each year it gets a tiny bit worserdquo
Once a person has hearing loss the worst im-pact is often on day-to-day conversations with friends and family
ldquoThey just realize holy cow I cannot hear a dang thing they are sayingrdquo Osthus said ldquoThat social isolation is something that happens slowly and they sometimes do not realize it is the hearing lossrdquo
For Jeff the inability to hear all of the voices in a conversation with a group of friends caused him to avoid situations where lots of people are talking at once
ldquoI have become a hermit I avoid events where there are a lot of voices and stuffrdquo Nemitz said ldquoI cannot hear their conversations Even at home I am often saying ldquohuhrdquo or ldquowhatrdquordquoS
The good news is that there are solutions for people who experience hearing loss
ldquoStep one is obviously coming in and being seenrdquo Osthus said ldquoThere are an awful lot of places that offer free hearing testingrdquo
Once a hearing loss patient has been seen by a doctor they can be fitted for a hearing aid or instrument In recent years advances in tech-nology have made hearing aids lighter and more comfortable for the people wearing them
ldquoThe modern-day hearing instrumentmdashthey are phenomenal in that they are so comfort-ablerdquo Osthus said ldquoIn a short period of time people forget they are wearing themrdquo
Just like glasses or braces a first-time wearer of hearing aids needs to allow them a period of adjustment
ldquoYou are basically retraining your brain to hear so right off the bat you are going to hear things in ways you have never heard before and sometimes it can be overwhelmingrdquo Ost-
hus said ldquoSome peoplesrsquo voices will have tones you have not heard so you might not recognize them and everyday things like running the faucet will sound like Niagara Falls but those things fade away with timerdquo
Hearing aids come in various styles from types that you can see to varieties that are not visible to others
ldquoWith all the people who have hearing loss only about 30 percent ever actually do some-thing about itrdquo Osthus said ldquoReally do you want to let those moments pass you byrdquo
For Jeff looking into hearing aids is just part of the process of dealing with his newly onset hearing loss
ldquoI am looking into it since they tell you that your brain tends to adapt to whatever yoursquove got to work with so the sooner you get it the less time you have to adaptrdquo Nemitz said ldquoIt is just something I am going to have to get used tordquo

Do you have a favorite restaurant on the North Shore A favorite server a favorite salad
We want to know and so do your favorite restaurants
Last year North Shore Highway 61 held the first ever Readerrsquos Choice Restaurant Awards survey and contest and more than 300 readers responded
It was a great success and the restaurants that won were really excited and honored
Wersquore doing it again this year and we hope yoursquoll participate
There are some cool categories like what restaurant has the best finger food or who is the best server on the North Shore
Where do you go to get the best breakfast the tastiest soup or steak And who has the best view
These are just a few of the categories in the Readerrsquos Choice Awards
The contest is the brain child of Sue OrsquoQuinn who works for Northern Wilds Media pub-lisher of North Shore Highway 61
Shawn Perich co-owner of Northern Wilds Media said he and fellow co-owner Amber Pratt immediately jumped on the idea when OrsquoQuinn proposed it
ldquoWe live in a community that has a tremen-dous variety of restaurants considering its sizerdquo Perich said ldquoWe have a lot of choices of good places to eat and theyrsquore not all serving the same standard fare We tried to come up with a contest that would reflect that and gen-erate a little excitement out there and we didrdquo
Perich said the restaurants were really pleased when they won
The contest also gave peo-ple a chance to recognize outstanding restaurants and servers And Janice Beck received a $50 gift cer-tificate to her favorite res-taurant when she won the contest drawing
When the Readers Choice Restaurant Awards was first
launched last year Perich said they had no idea what kind of responses they would get or from whom
ldquoThey came from all over the placerdquo he said ldquoIt wasnrsquot just locals And we were also sur-prised that restaurants that were closed in the winter still got votesrdquo
Angry Trout for example which is closed in the winter got firsts for Best Fish Best Salad and Best View Open year-round the Gun-flint Tavern got firsts for Best Soup Best Veg-gie Option Best Beer and best Finger Food The Crooked Spoon received firsts for the Best Steak Best Lunch and Food Prep
Sven amp Olersquos was chosen for being the Best Kid-Friendly and for having the Best Pizza Chez Jude won for the Best Wine List and tied with the Lemon Wolf in Beaver Bay for Best Sweets
Cascade Lodge Restaurant won for the Best Breakfast and My Sisterrsquos Place was voted as having the Best Burger on the North Shore
Last but not least Rob Larson server at the Trestle Inn was chosen as the Best Server on the North Shore
Each of the winners received plaques too so look for them the next time you visit your fa-vorite eatery
And vote for this yearrsquos winnersYou can find the 2013 Readerrsquos Choice
Restaurant Awards mail in ballots in this issue and the March issue or log onto our Website at wwwnorthshorehwy61com and vote One ballot each please

Comments are due by Feb25 for the Minne-sota DNRrsquos proposal to authorize grant-in-aid trail funding for the 16-mile Cook County All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) Trail in Tom Lake area of Grand Portage State Forest in northeastern Minnesota
Cook County will sponsor the proposal and will provide trail development and mainte-nance in cooperation with the Cook County ATV Club
Located in the Grand Portage State Forest the trail follows existing forest access routes mini-mum maintenance roads and forest system roads The route was designated for ATV use
in 2007 as part of the DNRrsquos comprehensive multi-year state forest classification and desig-nation process
Adding the existing trail to the grant-in-aid system qualifies it for additional resources and funding that can be applied to trail signs main-tenance monitoring and repair The trail will be managed for ATV use although other public uses are allowed It may be closed at times for safety or to prevent erosion or trail damage

During the frozen days of late winter you donrsquot like to find wa-ter dripping from your roof down your walls But if your home is susceptible to ice dams this scenario may be all too familiar
More often than not ice dams are a dripping and damaging consequence of having an inadequately insulated roof cavity said Nace Hagemann of Nace Hagemann Construction For ice dams to form two things are needed warm air rising out of the building and snow on the roof
ldquoGenerally speaking warm air is moving through the roof cavityrdquo said Nate Works of Caribou Cabin Services ldquoHot air from the inside of your home warms the underside of the roof rsquos plywood and the snow melts aboverdquo
When the melted snow flows down the roof and hits the cold soffits at the roof rsquos edge the water freezes Over time frozen melted snow backs up on the roof creating an infamous ice dam On warm or sunny days the dam starts to melt some-times right into your home Or the dam may stop the snow melt before it gets to the cold soffits causing the water to flow back under your shingles and seep through your roof
ldquoThey can create a lot of damagerdquo said Works ldquoIf water gets into the rafter cavity the wet insulation can mold and if the in-sulationrsquos wet and never dries out it can rot the wood next to itrdquo
In addition ice dams can damage ceilings and stain sheetrock walls Ice dams deteriorate roofs and are hard on asphalt shin-gles said Works
Both Works and Hagemann agree that ice dams should be limited to older homes The amount of insulation required by current Minnesota building code should prevent ice dams on new construction said Works If your new home suffers from ice dams somethingrsquos wrong said Hagemann
Homesrsquo southern exposures can be slightly more susceptible to ice dams said Works although often the snow melted by the sun on homesrsquo south sides runs all the way off the roof without stopping on the soffits to form a dam
Homeowners can combat ice dams in a number of ways A popular solution is stapling heated cables onto roofs More so-phisticated ice melt systems that use aluminum panels to cover
heated cables can be installed near the bottom edge of the roof for permanent ice dam prevention
Not a fan of putting more holes in roofs by installing heated cables Hagemann suggests homeowners also look into insulating or vent-ing their roof cavity to keep the hot air causing ice dams from sitting there Vents that bring cold air in through the soffits help keep the roof cav-ity cool
ldquoHopefully the vents take care of [heat from the homersquos
interior] before the heat reaches the roofrdquo he said Hagemann said any type of blown-in insulation such as
spray foam will help prevent heat leakage better than rolled insulation
ldquoFiberglass insulation is tough to get really tightrdquo he said Both Works and Hagemann recommend a roof underlayment
like ice and water membrane between the shingles and the roof rsquos plywood to further deter water seepage from the roof
Homeowners should remember that ice dams canrsquot form if there isnrsquot snow on your roof said Works A roof shovel or rake with an extendible handle lets homeowners remove snow from their roofs while they stand on the ground Removing snow should be homeownersrsquo first step when dealing with an existing ice dam he said
You should resist the ill-advised temptation to climb on the roof to hack away at the ice build-up
ldquoYou stand a chance of hurting yourself and your roofrdquo said Works
Personally Hagemann feels homeowners are better off shov-eling their roofs than installing a metal roof which are often lauded for their easy care Hagemann said he prefers the insula-tive qualities of asphalt shingles and hersquos also not fond of the rapid speed that ice and snow can slide off metal roofs which could injure people and critters who might be caught in falling snowrsquos path
If snow removal doesnrsquot alleviate the ice dam problem Works said he uses hot water spray from a pressure washer system with a heater to slowly melt away the ice Most professional equip-ment designed for ice dam removal uses hot water he said which although time consuming is the safest and most effec-tive method for dealing with ice dams
When it comes to ice dams prevention is always preferable to clamoring on an ice-slick roof

Filled to the brim with sweets flowers love songs and pretty things Valentinersquos Day often gets a hard rap for being the most commercial of holidays Therersquos no denying that to some members of the community Valentinersquos Day means business For the florist baker artist and radio DJ Valentinersquos is not just another day Itrsquos a busy occasion that they all say is about a lot more than just material expressions of love and devotion Sandi McQuatters terra Bella Floral
ldquoValentinersquos Day means the end of the long cold winterrdquo said McQuatters
She enjoys a steady flow of customers all day long many of whom purchase red roses a floral token of true love and McQuattersrsquo best sellers on Valentinersquos Day
To McQuatters Valentinersquos Day is all about ldquotaking the time out of a busy schedule to show someone that we love themrdquo
ldquoItrsquos a great way to tell some-one that you care about themrdquo she said ldquoItrsquos too bad we donrsquot do it more oftenrdquo Staci Drouillard Lolarsquos Sweet Life Bakery
For Valentinersquos Day Lolarsquos Sweet Life Bakery fills with the smell of baking cupcakes filled with chocolate mousse lemon curd and raspberry mousse Drouillard also bakes heart-shaped shortbread cookie sandwiches filled with chewy caramel for the holiday
ldquoPersonally I really enjoy any holiday that asks you to take some time to celebrate the people who you loverdquo said Drouillard ldquoAnd any day that honors chocolate is more than okay with merdquo
Nancy Seaton artist and teacher of ldquoI Love Glassrdquo at the Grand Marais Art Colony on Feb 9
Seaton said shersquos always loved the idea of Valentinersquos Day As a young artist she made handmade cards Later she crafted Valentines with her young children Now she teaches the ldquoI Love Glassrdquo class at the Art Colony a one-day course devoted to making Valentinersquos Day inspired jewelry and glass art
ldquoSome people have used the class to make things for others Sometimes theyrsquove made things that will make them smile all yearrdquo said Seaton ldquoI think thatrsquos the real message of cel-ebrating Valentinersquos Day It makes us look at ourselves and ask if wersquore sharing our love ev-ery day If you need to make changes itrsquos your yearly wake-up callrdquo Cathy Quinn host of WtIP 907 FM Sidetracks music program
Quinn hosts a special requests version of Side-tracks for Valentinersquos Day that allows people to dedicate a favorite song to a loved one be it a spouse partner grandma or grandpa friend co-worker non-profit or even a pet Quinn whorsquos been doing the Valentinersquos Day request show for several years said she originally got the idea after reading the Valentinersquos Day mes-
sages in the Star Tribune personal section one year
Requests can be submitted before or during the show to requestsborealorg or by call-ing 387-1070 Usually listeners submit a brief message to their loved one with their song request said Quinn For example a request could be for the song ldquoAll of My Loverdquo by Led Zeppelin going out to Peanut from Pooky
ldquoI do think Valentinersquos Day is worth cel-ebrating but to me itrsquos not about couples or cheesy Hallmark cards I donrsquot like that Valentinersquos Day can put pressure on people or make them sadrdquo said Quinn ldquoThatrsquos why on Sidetracks we just try to have fun with it and include everyone Therersquos nothing wrong with taking the time to spread a little love to one an-other Life is hard enough and I think Valen-tinersquos Day is a good excuse to stop and let oth-ers know that you appreciate them The bigger question is why donrsquot we do that every dayrdquo

The boat launch on the southwest corner of Grand Marais Har-bor may be renovated to make the site more usable and environ-mentally friendly say city and Minnesota DNR officials who are working on a new plan for the site The DNR approached the city about renovating the access in 2011 when it had funding available The state agency would pay the design permitting and construction costs The city would be responsible for maintain-ing the access
The idea of improving the access site isnrsquot new says Dave Ter-steeg city parks and recreation director The present ramps are only suitable for launching smaller shallow-draft boats The projectrsquos primary goal is to create a deeper accessmdashsix to eight feet deepmdashto accommodate hydraulic trailers and possibly sail-boats Tersteeg expects to use floating docks similar to those in the Grand Marais Marina to reach the deeper water
The new launch and all facilities such as restrooms would be accessible to people with disabilities and thus compliant with federal regulations Tersteeg says the site would be designed as a public promenade that retains the present pavilion and the bench near the dog pound area allows pedestrian access in-cludes new tree plantings near the water and improves access to the rocky point Another amenity may be a new nonmotorized access for sea kayaks between the picnic pavilion and the exist-ing ramp
Indeed improving the green space is an important aspect of the project
ldquoThe city has emphasized the launch site de-sign needs to blend into the shoreline and retain the park-like feel of the harborrdquo says Joe Russell DNR area supervisor for parks and trails in Two Harbors
One DNR stipulation is the site must provide ad-equate parking for boats and trailers In current plans creating a parking area for the southwest launch includes relocating two public utility ga-rages although the cityrsquos Public Utilities Com-mission which manages them has not found a new location for the buildings or announced a time line for moving them A nearby area would be paved and striped for parking regardless if the buildings are moved Paving would allow for bet-ter storm water management on the site Eventu-ally the site may include an Aquatic Invasive Spe-cies Station where boats could steam-wash their boats after coming off the lake
While the launch location is fairly well-sheltered it is susceptible to south and southeast winds The DNR would assess the rock breakwater protecting the launch to determine if it needs improvements
Both the city Park Board and the City Council have approved a concept plan for the launch The next step is to enter into a partnership agreement with the DNR The Park Board has re-viewed a partnership agreement presented by the agency At this writing the City Council was scheduled to review it at its Jan 30 meeting Once the agreement is signed the DNR can get the
project into its budget possibly for 2014-15Tersteeg says so far the launch project has not been controver-
sial and it conforms to the Minnesota Land Trustrsquos conservation easement that protects the recreation area from commercial de-velopment There are three launches on the Harbor a DNR site on the east side near the Coast Guard Station constructed in 1986 a launch in the marina and the launch in the southwest corner
City DNR Plan to Build a Better Boat Launch
The plan for the new boat access includes a deeper launch paved parking and tree plantings

The ability to hear is something many of us take for granted For a long time Grand Marais resident Jeff Nemitz was one of those people Then a few months ago while going about his everyday routine everything changed
ldquoI had completely lost the hearing in my right earrdquo Nemitz said ldquoWhen you poke your finger in your ear you can hear something But at that point I could not hear anythingrdquo
After a few trips to the doctor and a steroid prescription Jeff began to regain some of the hearing he had lost Some of the damage was permanent however and he has had to adapt to the change
ldquoI have become very sensitive to loud soundssince that happenedrdquo Nemitz said ldquoIt is hard for me to listen to live music indoors like in bars and stuff I just do not enjoy it at allrdquo
What happened to Jeff is not uncommon Some 36 million Americans report some de-gree of hearing loss making it one of the most common physical conditions after arthritis and
heart disease according to the Hearing Loss Association of America Unlike Jeff however hearing loss comes on slowly for most people
ldquoIt is a really stealthy onsetrdquo Tim Osthus Duluth hearing instrument specialist said ldquoIt is not like one day they can hear and the next day they cannot It is something that happens over 20 to 30 years and each year it gets a tiny bit worserdquo
Once a person has hearing loss the worst im-pact is often on day-to-day conversations with friends and family
ldquoThey just realize holy cow I cannot hear a dang thing they are sayingrdquo Osthus said ldquoThat social isolation is something that happens slowly and they sometimes do not realize it is the hearing lossrdquo
For Jeff the inability to hear all of the voices in a conversation with a group of friends caused him to avoid situations where lots of people are talking at once
ldquoI have become a hermit I avoid events where there are a lot of voices and stuffrdquo Nemitz said ldquoI cannot hear their conversations Even at home I am often saying ldquohuhrdquo or ldquowhatrdquordquoS
The good news is that there are solutions for people who experience hearing loss
ldquoStep one is obviously coming in and being seenrdquo Osthus said ldquoThere are an awful lot of places that offer free hearing testingrdquo
Once a hearing loss patient has been seen by a doctor they can be fitted for a hearing aid or instrument In recent years advances in tech-nology have made hearing aids lighter and more comfortable for the people wearing them
ldquoThe modern-day hearing instrumentmdashthey are phenomenal in that they are so comfort-ablerdquo Osthus said ldquoIn a short period of time people forget they are wearing themrdquo
Just like glasses or braces a first-time wearer of hearing aids needs to allow them a period of adjustment
ldquoYou are basically retraining your brain to hear so right off the bat you are going to hear things in ways you have never heard before and sometimes it can be overwhelmingrdquo Ost-
hus said ldquoSome peoplesrsquo voices will have tones you have not heard so you might not recognize them and everyday things like running the faucet will sound like Niagara Falls but those things fade away with timerdquo
Hearing aids come in various styles from types that you can see to varieties that are not visible to others
ldquoWith all the people who have hearing loss only about 30 percent ever actually do some-thing about itrdquo Osthus said ldquoReally do you want to let those moments pass you byrdquo
For Jeff looking into hearing aids is just part of the process of dealing with his newly onset hearing loss
ldquoI am looking into it since they tell you that your brain tends to adapt to whatever yoursquove got to work with so the sooner you get it the less time you have to adaptrdquo Nemitz said ldquoIt is just something I am going to have to get used tordquo

Do you have a favorite restaurant on the North Shore A favorite server a favorite salad
We want to know and so do your favorite restaurants
Last year North Shore Highway 61 held the first ever Readerrsquos Choice Restaurant Awards survey and contest and more than 300 readers responded
It was a great success and the restaurants that won were really excited and honored
Wersquore doing it again this year and we hope yoursquoll participate
There are some cool categories like what restaurant has the best finger food or who is the best server on the North Shore
Where do you go to get the best breakfast the tastiest soup or steak And who has the best view
These are just a few of the categories in the Readerrsquos Choice Awards
The contest is the brain child of Sue OrsquoQuinn who works for Northern Wilds Media pub-lisher of North Shore Highway 61
Shawn Perich co-owner of Northern Wilds Media said he and fellow co-owner Amber Pratt immediately jumped on the idea when OrsquoQuinn proposed it
ldquoWe live in a community that has a tremen-dous variety of restaurants considering its sizerdquo Perich said ldquoWe have a lot of choices of good places to eat and theyrsquore not all serving the same standard fare We tried to come up with a contest that would reflect that and gen-erate a little excitement out there and we didrdquo
Perich said the restaurants were really pleased when they won
The contest also gave peo-ple a chance to recognize outstanding restaurants and servers And Janice Beck received a $50 gift cer-tificate to her favorite res-taurant when she won the contest drawing
When the Readers Choice Restaurant Awards was first
launched last year Perich said they had no idea what kind of responses they would get or from whom
ldquoThey came from all over the placerdquo he said ldquoIt wasnrsquot just locals And we were also sur-prised that restaurants that were closed in the winter still got votesrdquo
Angry Trout for example which is closed in the winter got firsts for Best Fish Best Salad and Best View Open year-round the Gun-flint Tavern got firsts for Best Soup Best Veg-gie Option Best Beer and best Finger Food The Crooked Spoon received firsts for the Best Steak Best Lunch and Food Prep
Sven amp Olersquos was chosen for being the Best Kid-Friendly and for having the Best Pizza Chez Jude won for the Best Wine List and tied with the Lemon Wolf in Beaver Bay for Best Sweets
Cascade Lodge Restaurant won for the Best Breakfast and My Sisterrsquos Place was voted as having the Best Burger on the North Shore
Last but not least Rob Larson server at the Trestle Inn was chosen as the Best Server on the North Shore
Each of the winners received plaques too so look for them the next time you visit your fa-vorite eatery

Comments are due by Feb25 for the Minne-sota DNRrsquos proposal to authorize grant-in-aid trail funding for the 16-mile Cook County All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) Trail in Tom Lake area of Grand Portage State Forest in northeastern Minnesota
Cook County will sponsor the proposal and will provide trail development and mainte-nance in cooperation with the Cook County ATV Club
Located in the Grand Portage State Forest the trail follows existing forest access routes mini-mum maintenance roads and forest system roads The route was designated for ATV use
in 2007 as part of the DNRrsquos comprehensive multi-year state forest classification and desig-nation process
Adding the existing trail to the grant-in-aid system qualifies it for additional resources and funding that can be applied to trail signs main-tenance monitoring and repair The trail will be managed for ATV use although other public uses are allowed It may be closed at times for safety or to prevent erosion or trail damage

By Ada Igoe
During the frozen days of late winter you donrsquot like to find wa-ter dripping from your roof down your walls But if your home is susceptible to ice dams this scenario may be all too familiar
More often than not ice dams are a dripping and damaging consequence of having an inadequately insulated roof cavity said Nace Hagemann of Nace Hagemann Construction For ice dams to form two things are needed warm air rising out of the building and snow on the roof
ldquoGenerally speaking warm air is moving through the roof cavityrdquo said Nate Works of Caribou Cabin Services ldquoHot air from the inside of your home warms the underside of the roof rsquos plywood and the snow melts aboverdquo
When the melted snow flows down the roof and hits the cold soffits at the roof rsquos edge the water freezes Over time frozen melted snow backs up on the roof creating an infamous ice dam On warm or sunny days the dam starts to melt some-times right into your home Or the dam may stop the snow melt before it gets to the cold soffits causing the water to flow back under your shingles and seep through your roof
ldquoThey can create a lot of damagerdquo said Works ldquoIf water gets into the rafter cavity the wet insulation can mold and if the in-sulationrsquos wet and never dries out it can rot the wood next to itrdquo
In addition ice dams can damage ceilings and stain sheetrock walls Ice dams deteriorate roofs and are hard on asphalt shin-gles said Works
Both Works and Hagemann agree that ice dams should be limited to older homes The amount of insulation required by current Minnesota building code should prevent ice dams on new construction said Works If your new home suffers from ice dams somethingrsquos wrong said Hagemann
Homesrsquo southern exposures can be slightly more susceptible to ice dams said Works although often the snow melted by the sun on homesrsquo south sides runs all the way off the roof without stopping on the soffits to form a dam
Homeowners can combat ice dams in a number of ways A popular solution is stapling heated cables onto roofs More so-phisticated ice melt systems that use aluminum panels to cover
heated cables can be installed near the bottom edge of the roof for permanent ice dam prevention
Not a fan of putting more holes in roofs by installing heated cables Hagemann suggests homeowners also look into insulating or vent-ing their roof cavity to keep the hot air causing ice dams from sitting there Vents that bring cold air in through the soffits help keep the roof cav-ity cool
ldquoHopefully the vents take care of [heat from the homersquos
interior] before the heat reaches the roofrdquo he said Hagemann said any type of blown-in insulation such as
spray foam will help prevent heat leakage better than rolled insulation
ldquoFiberglass insulation is tough to get really tightrdquo he said Both Works and Hagemann recommend a roof underlayment
like ice and water membrane between the shingles and the roof rsquos plywood to further deter water seepage from the roof
Homeowners should remember that ice dams canrsquot form if there isnrsquot snow on your roof said Works A roof shovel or rake with an extendible handle lets homeowners remove snow from their roofs while they stand on the ground Removing snow should be homeownersrsquo first step when dealing with an existing ice dam he said
You should resist the ill-advised temptation to climb on the roof to hack away at the ice build-up
ldquoYou stand a chance of hurting yourself and your roofrdquo said Works
Personally Hagemann feels homeowners are better off shov-eling their roofs than installing a metal roof which are often lauded for their easy care Hagemann said he prefers the insula-tive qualities of asphalt shingles and hersquos also not fond of the rapid speed that ice and snow can slide off metal roofs which could injure people and critters who might be caught in falling snowrsquos path
If snow removal doesnrsquot alleviate the ice dam problem Works said he uses hot water spray from a pressure washer system with a heater to slowly melt away the ice Most professional equip-ment designed for ice dam removal uses hot water he said which although time consuming is the safest and most effec-tive method for dealing with ice dams
When it comes to ice dams prevention is always preferable to clamoring on an ice-slick roof

ldquoFiberglass insulation is tough to get really tightrdquo he said Both Works and Hagemann recommend a roof underlayment
like ice and water membrane between the shingles and the roof rsquos plywood to further deter water seepage from the roof
Homeowners should remember that ice dams canrsquot form if there isnrsquot snow on your roof said Works A roof shovel or rake with an extendible handle lets homeowners remove snow from their roofs while they stand on the ground Removing snow should be homeownersrsquo first step when dealing with an existing ice dam he said
You should resist the ill-advised temptation to climb on the roof to hack away at the ice build-up
ldquoYou stand a chance of hurting yourself and your roofrdquo said Works
Personally Hagemann feels homeowners are better off shov-eling their roofs than installing a metal roof which are often lauded for their easy care Hagemann said he prefers the insula-tive qualities of asphalt shingles and hersquos also not fond of the rapid speed that ice and snow can slide off metal roofs which could injure people and critters who might be caught in falling snowrsquos path
If snow removal doesnrsquot alleviate the ice dam problem Works said he uses hot water spray from a pressure washer system with a heater to slowly melt away the ice Most professional equip-ment designed for ice dam removal uses hot water he said which although time consuming is the safest and most effec-tive method for dealing with ice dams
When it comes to ice dams prevention is always preferable to clamoring on an ice-slick roof

Filled to the brim with sweets flowers love songs and pretty things Valentinersquos Day often gets a hard rap for being the most commercial of holidays Therersquos no denying that to some members of the community Valentinersquos Day means business For the florist baker artist and radio DJ Valentinersquos is not just another day Itrsquos a busy occasion that they all say is about a lot more than just material expressions of love and devotion Sandi McQuatters terra Bella Floral
ldquoValentinersquos Day means the end of the long cold winterrdquo said McQuatters
She enjoys a steady flow of customers all day long many of whom purchase red roses a floral token of true love and McQuattersrsquo best sellers on Valentinersquos Day
To McQuatters Valentinersquos Day is all about ldquotaking the time out of a busy schedule to show someone that we love themrdquo
ldquoItrsquos a great way to tell some-one that you care about themrdquo she said ldquoItrsquos too bad we donrsquot do it more oftenrdquo Staci Drouillard Lolarsquos Sweet Life Bakery
For Valentinersquos Day Lolarsquos Sweet Life Bakery fills with the smell of baking cupcakes filled with chocolate mousse lemon curd and raspberry mousse Drouillard also bakes heart-shaped shortbread cookie sandwiches filled with chewy caramel for the holiday
ldquoPersonally I really enjoy any holiday that asks you to take some time to celebrate the people who you loverdquo said Drouillard ldquoAnd any day that honors chocolate is more than okay with merdquo
Nancy Seaton artist and teacher of ldquoI Love Glassrdquo at the Grand Marais Art Colony on Feb 9
Seaton said shersquos always loved the idea of Valentinersquos Day As a young artist she made handmade cards Later she crafted Valentines with her young children Now she teaches the ldquoI Love Glassrdquo class at the Art Colony a one-day course devoted to making Valentinersquos Day inspired jewelry and glass art
ldquoSome people have used the class to make things for others Sometimes theyrsquove made things that will make them smile all yearrdquo said Seaton ldquoI think thatrsquos the real message of cel-ebrating Valentinersquos Day It makes us look at ourselves and ask if wersquore sharing our love ev-ery day If you need to make changes itrsquos your yearly wake-up callrdquo Cathy Quinn host of WtIP 907 FM Sidetracks music program
Quinn hosts a special requests version of Side-tracks for Valentinersquos Day that allows people to dedicate a favorite song to a loved one be it a spouse partner grandma or grandpa friend co-worker non-profit or even a pet Quinn whorsquos been doing the Valentinersquos Day request show for several years said she originally got the idea after reading the Valentinersquos Day mes-
sages in the Star Tribune personal section one year
Requests can be submitted before or during the show to requestsborealorg or by call-ing 387-1070 Usually listeners submit a brief message to their loved one with their song request said Quinn For example a request could be for the song ldquoAll of My Loverdquo by Led Zeppelin going out to Peanut from Pooky
ldquoI do think Valentinersquos Day is worth cel-ebrating but to me itrsquos not about couples or cheesy Hallmark cards I donrsquot like that Valentinersquos Day can put pressure on people or make them sadrdquo said Quinn ldquoThatrsquos why on Sidetracks we just try to have fun with it and include everyone Therersquos nothing wrong with taking the time to spread a little love to one an-other Life is hard enough and I think Valen-tinersquos Day is a good excuse to stop and let oth-ers know that you appreciate them The bigger question is why donrsquot we do that every dayrdquo

By Shawn Perich
The boat launch on the southwest corner of Grand Marais Har-bor may be renovated to make the site more usable and environ-mentally friendly say city and Minnesota DNR officials who are working on a new plan for the site The DNR approached the city about renovating the access in 2011 when it had funding available The state agency would pay the design permitting and construction costs The city would be responsible for maintain-ing the access
The idea of improving the access site isnrsquot new says Dave Ter-steeg city parks and recreation director The present ramps are only suitable for launching smaller shallow-draft boats The projectrsquos primary goal is to create a deeper accessmdashsix to eight feet deepmdashto accommodate hydraulic trailers and possibly sail-boats Tersteeg expects to use floating docks similar to those in the Grand Marais Marina to reach the deeper water
The new launch and all facilities such as restrooms would be accessible to people with disabilities and thus compliant with federal regulations Tersteeg says the site would be designed as a public promenade that retains the present pavilion and the bench near the dog pound area allows pedestrian access in-cludes new tree plantings near the water and improves access to the rocky point Another amenity may be a new nonmotorized access for sea kayaks between the picnic pavilion and the exist-ing ramp
Indeed improving the green space is an important aspect of the project
ldquoThe city has emphasized the launch site de-sign needs to blend into the shoreline and retain the park-like feel of the harborrdquo says Joe Russell DNR area supervisor for parks and trails in Two Harbors
One DNR stipulation is the site must provide ad-equate parking for boats and trailers In current plans creating a parking area for the southwest launch includes relocating two public utility ga-rages although the cityrsquos Public Utilities Com-mission which manages them has not found a new location for the buildings or announced a time line for moving them A nearby area would be paved and striped for parking regardless if the buildings are moved Paving would allow for bet-ter storm water management on the site Eventu-ally the site may include an Aquatic Invasive Spe-cies Station where boats could steam-wash their boats after coming off the lake
While the launch location is fairly well-sheltered it is susceptible to south and southeast winds The DNR would assess the rock breakwater protecting the launch to determine if it needs improvements
Both the city Park Board and the City Council have approved a concept plan for the launch The next step is to enter into a partnership agreement with the DNR The Park Board has re-viewed a partnership agreement presented by the agency At this writing the City Council was scheduled to review it at its Jan 30 meeting Once the agreement is signed the DNR can get the
project into its budget possibly for 2014-15Tersteeg says so far the launch project has not been controver-
sial and it conforms to the Minnesota Land Trustrsquos conservation easement that protects the recreation area from commercial de-velopment There are three launches on the Harbor a DNR site on the east side near the Coast Guard Station constructed in 1986 a launch in the marina and the launch in the southwest corner
City DNR Plan to Build a Better Boat Launch
The plan for the new boat access includes a deeper launch paved parking and tree plantings

The ability to hear is something many of us take for granted For a long time Grand Marais resident Jeff Nemitz was one of those people Then a few months ago while going about his everyday routine everything changed
ldquoI had completely lost the hearing in my right earrdquo Nemitz said ldquoWhen you poke your finger in your ear you can hear something But at that point I could not hear anythingrdquo
After a few trips to the doctor and a steroid prescription Jeff began to regain some of the hearing he had lost Some of the damage was permanent however and he has had to adapt to the change
ldquoI have become very sensitive to loud soundssince that happenedrdquo Nemitz said ldquoIt is hard for me to listen to live music indoors like in bars and stuff I just do not enjoy it at allrdquo
What happened to Jeff is not uncommon Some 36 million Americans report some de-gree of hearing loss making it one of the most common physical conditions after arthritis and
heart disease according to the Hearing Loss Association of America Unlike Jeff however hearing loss comes on slowly for most people
ldquoIt is a really stealthy onsetrdquo Tim Osthus Duluth hearing instrument specialist said ldquoIt is not like one day they can hear and the next day they cannot It is something that happens over 20 to 30 years and each year it gets a tiny bit worserdquo
Once a person has hearing loss the worst im-pact is often on day-to-day conversations with friends and family
ldquoThey just realize holy cow I cannot hear a dang thing they are sayingrdquo Osthus said ldquoThat social isolation is something that happens slowly and they sometimes do not realize it is the hearing lossrdquo
For Jeff the inability to hear all of the voices in a conversation with a group of friends caused him to avoid situations where lots of people are talking at once
ldquoI have become a hermit I avoid events where there are a lot of voices and stuffrdquo Nemitz said ldquoI cannot hear their conversations Even at home I am often saying ldquohuhrdquo or ldquowhatrdquordquoS
The good news is that there are solutions for people who experience hearing loss
ldquoStep one is obviously coming in and being seenrdquo Osthus said ldquoThere are an awful lot of places that offer free hearing testingrdquo
Once a hearing loss patient has been seen by a doctor they can be fitted for a hearing aid or instrument In recent years advances in tech-nology have made hearing aids lighter and more comfortable for the people wearing them
ldquoThe modern-day hearing instrumentmdashthey are phenomenal in that they are so comfort-ablerdquo Osthus said ldquoIn a short period of time people forget they are wearing themrdquo
Just like glasses or braces a first-time wearer of hearing aids needs to allow them a period of adjustment
ldquoYou are basically retraining your brain to hear so right off the bat you are going to hear things in ways you have never heard before and sometimes it can be overwhelmingrdquo Ost-
hus said ldquoSome peoplesrsquo voices will have tones you have not heard so you might not recognize them and everyday things like running the faucet will sound like Niagara Falls but those things fade away with timerdquo
Hearing aids come in various styles from types that you can see to varieties that are not visible to others
ldquoWith all the people who have hearing loss only about 30 percent ever actually do some-thing about itrdquo Osthus said ldquoReally do you want to let those moments pass you byrdquo
For Jeff looking into hearing aids is just part of the process of dealing with his newly onset hearing loss
ldquoI am looking into it since they tell you that your brain tends to adapt to whatever yoursquove got to work with so the sooner you get it the less time you have to adaptrdquo Nemitz said ldquoIt is just something I am going to have to get used tordquo

Do you have a favorite restaurant on the North Shore A favorite server a favorite salad
We want to know and so do your favorite restaurants
Last year North Shore Highway 61 held the first ever Readerrsquos Choice Restaurant Awards survey and contest and more than 300 readers responded
It was a great success and the restaurants that won were really excited and honored
Wersquore doing it again this year and we hope yoursquoll participate
There are some cool categories like what restaurant has the best finger food or who is the best server on the North Shore
Where do you go to get the best breakfast the tastiest soup or steak And who has the best view
These are just a few of the categories in the Readerrsquos Choice Awards
The contest is the brain child of Sue OrsquoQuinn who works for Northern Wilds Media pub-lisher of North Shore Highway 61
Shawn Perich co-owner of Northern Wilds Media said he and fellow co-owner Amber Pratt immediately jumped on the idea when OrsquoQuinn proposed it
ldquoWe live in a community that has a tremen-dous variety of restaurants considering its sizerdquo Perich said ldquoWe have a lot of choices of good places to eat and theyrsquore not all serving the same standard fare We tried to come up with a contest that would reflect that and gen-erate a little excitement out there and we didrdquo
Perich said the restaurants were really pleased when they won
The contest also gave peo-ple a chance to recognize outstanding restaurants and servers And Janice Beck received a $50 gift cer-tificate to her favorite res-taurant when she won the contest drawing
When the Readers Choice Restaurant Awards was first
launched last year Perich said they had no idea what kind of responses they would get or from whom
ldquoThey came from all over the placerdquo he said ldquoIt wasnrsquot just locals And we were also sur-prised that restaurants that were closed in the winter still got votesrdquo
Angry Trout for example which is closed in the winter got firsts for Best Fish Best Salad and Best View Open year-round the Gun-flint Tavern got firsts for Best Soup Best Veg-gie Option Best Beer and best Finger Food The Crooked Spoon received firsts for the Best Steak Best Lunch and Food Prep
Sven amp Olersquos was chosen for being the Best Kid-Friendly and for having the Best Pizza Chez Jude won for the Best Wine List and tied with the Lemon Wolf in Beaver Bay for Best Sweets
Cascade Lodge Restaurant won for the Best Breakfast and My Sisterrsquos Place was voted as having the Best Burger on the North Shore
Last but not least Rob Larson server at the Trestle Inn was chosen as the Best Server on the North Shore
Each of the winners received plaques too so look for them the next time you visit your fa-vorite eatery
And vote for this yearrsquos winnersYou can find the 2013 Readerrsquos Choice
Restaurant Awards mail in ballots in this issue and the March issue or log onto our Website at wwwnorthshorehwy61com and vote One ballot each please

Comments are due by Feb25 for the Minne-sota DNRrsquos proposal to authorize grant-in-aid trail funding for the 16-mile Cook County All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) Trail in Tom Lake area of Grand Portage State Forest in northeastern Minnesota
Cook County will sponsor the proposal and will provide trail development and mainte-nance in cooperation with the Cook County ATV Club
Located in the Grand Portage State Forest the trail follows existing forest access routes mini-mum maintenance roads and forest system roads The route was designated for ATV use
in 2007 as part of the DNRrsquos comprehensive multi-year state forest classification and desig-nation process
Adding the existing trail to the grant-in-aid system qualifies it for additional resources and funding that can be applied to trail signs main-tenance monitoring and repair The trail will be managed for ATV use although other public uses are allowed It may be closed at times for safety or to prevent erosion or trail damage

During the frozen days of late winter you donrsquot like to find wa-ter dripping from your roof down your walls But if your home is susceptible to ice dams this scenario may be all too familiar
More often than not ice dams are a dripping and damaging consequence of having an inadequately insulated roof cavity said Nace Hagemann of Nace Hagemann Construction For ice dams to form two things are needed warm air rising out of the building and snow on the roof
ldquoGenerally speaking warm air is moving through the roof cavityrdquo said Nate Works of Caribou Cabin Services ldquoHot air from the inside of your home warms the underside of the roof rsquos plywood and the snow melts aboverdquo
When the melted snow flows down the roof and hits the cold soffits at the roof rsquos edge the water freezes Over time frozen melted snow backs up on the roof creating an infamous ice dam On warm or sunny days the dam starts to melt some-times right into your home Or the dam may stop the snow melt before it gets to the cold soffits causing the water to flow back under your shingles and seep through your roof
ldquoThey can create a lot of damagerdquo said Works ldquoIf water gets into the rafter cavity the wet insulation can mold and if the in-sulationrsquos wet and never dries out it can rot the wood next to itrdquo
In addition ice dams can damage ceilings and stain sheetrock walls Ice dams deteriorate roofs and are hard on asphalt shin-gles said Works
Both Works and Hagemann agree that ice dams should be limited to older homes The amount of insulation required by current Minnesota building code should prevent ice dams on new construction said Works If your new home suffers from ice dams somethingrsquos wrong said Hagemann
Homesrsquo southern exposures can be slightly more susceptible to ice dams said Works although often the snow melted by the sun on homesrsquo south sides runs all the way off the roof without stopping on the soffits to form a dam
Homeowners can combat ice dams in a number of ways A popular solution is stapling heated cables onto roofs More so-phisticated ice melt systems that use aluminum panels to cover
heated cables can be installed near the bottom edge of the roof for permanent ice dam prevention
Not a fan of putting more holes in roofs by installing heated cables Hagemann suggests homeowners also look into insulating or vent-ing their roof cavity to keep the hot air causing ice dams from sitting there Vents that bring cold air in through the soffits help keep the roof cav-ity cool
ldquoHopefully the vents take care of [heat from the homersquos
interior] before the heat reaches the roofrdquo he said Hagemann said any type of blown-in insulation such as
spray foam will help prevent heat leakage better than rolled insulation
ldquoFiberglass insulation is tough to get really tightrdquo he said Both Works and Hagemann recommend a roof underlayment
like ice and water membrane between the shingles and the roof rsquos plywood to further deter water seepage from the roof
Homeowners should remember that ice dams canrsquot form if there isnrsquot snow on your roof said Works A roof shovel or rake with an extendible handle lets homeowners remove snow from their roofs while they stand on the ground Removing snow should be homeownersrsquo first step when dealing with an existing ice dam he said
You should resist the ill-advised temptation to climb on the roof to hack away at the ice build-up
ldquoYou stand a chance of hurting yourself and your roofrdquo said Works
Personally Hagemann feels homeowners are better off shov-eling their roofs than installing a metal roof which are often lauded for their easy care Hagemann said he prefers the insula-tive qualities of asphalt shingles and hersquos also not fond of the rapid speed that ice and snow can slide off metal roofs which could injure people and critters who might be caught in falling snowrsquos path
If snow removal doesnrsquot alleviate the ice dam problem Works said he uses hot water spray from a pressure washer system with a heater to slowly melt away the ice Most professional equip-ment designed for ice dam removal uses hot water he said which although time consuming is the safest and most effec-tive method for dealing with ice dams
When it comes to ice dams prevention is always preferable to clamoring on an ice-slick roof

The boat launch on the southwest corner of Grand Marais Har-bor may be renovated to make the site more usable and environ-mentally friendly say city and Minnesota DNR officials who are working on a new plan for the site The DNR approached the city about renovating the access in 2011 when it had funding available The state agency would pay the design permitting and construction costs The city would be responsible for maintain-ing the access
The idea of improving the access site isnrsquot new says Dave Ter-steeg city parks and recreation director The present ramps are only suitable for launching smaller shallow-draft boats The projectrsquos primary goal is to create a deeper accessmdashsix to eight feet deepmdashto accommodate hydraulic trailers and possibly sail-boats Tersteeg expects to use floating docks similar to those in the Grand Marais Marina to reach the deeper water
The new launch and all facilities such as restrooms would be accessible to people with disabilities and thus compliant with federal regulations Tersteeg says the site would be designed as a public promenade that retains the present pavilion and the bench near the dog pound area allows pedestrian access in-cludes new tree plantings near the water and improves access to the rocky point Another amenity may be a new nonmotorized access for sea kayaks between the picnic pavilion and the exist-ing ramp
Indeed improving the green space is an important aspect of the project
ldquoThe city has emphasized the launch site de-sign needs to blend into the shoreline and retain the park-like feel of the harborrdquo says Joe Russell DNR area supervisor for parks and trails in Two Harbors
One DNR stipulation is the site must provide ad-equate parking for boats and trailers In current plans creating a parking area for the southwest launch includes relocating two public utility ga-rages although the cityrsquos Public Utilities Com-mission which manages them has not found a new location for the buildings or announced a time line for moving them A nearby area would be paved and striped for parking regardless if the buildings are moved Paving would allow for bet-ter storm water management on the site Eventu-ally the site may include an Aquatic Invasive Spe-cies Station where boats could steam-wash their boats after coming off the lake
While the launch location is fairly well-sheltered it is susceptible to south and southeast winds The DNR would assess the rock breakwater protecting the launch to determine if it needs improvements
Both the city Park Board and the City Council have approved a concept plan for the launch The next step is to enter into a partnership agreement with the DNR The Park Board has re-viewed a partnership agreement presented by the agency At this writing the City Council was scheduled to review it at its Jan 30 meeting Once the agreement is signed the DNR can get the
project into its budget possibly for 2014-15Tersteeg says so far the launch project has not been controver-
sial and it conforms to the Minnesota Land Trustrsquos conservation easement that protects the recreation area from commercial de-velopment There are three launches on the Harbor a DNR site on the east side near the Coast Guard Station constructed in 1986 a launch in the marina and the launch in the southwest corner
City DNR Plan to Build a Better Boat Launch
The plan for the new boat access includes a deeper launch paved parking and tree plantings

The ability to hear is something many of us take for granted For a long time Grand Marais resident Jeff Nemitz was one of those people Then a few months ago while going about his everyday routine everything changed
ldquoI had completely lost the hearing in my right earrdquo Nemitz said ldquoWhen you poke your finger in your ear you can hear something But at that point I could not hear anythingrdquo
After a few trips to the doctor and a steroid prescription Jeff began to regain some of the hearing he had lost Some of the damage was permanent however and he has had to adapt to the change
ldquoI have become very sensitive to loud soundssince that happenedrdquo Nemitz said ldquoIt is hard for me to listen to live music indoors like in bars and stuff I just do not enjoy it at allrdquo
What happened to Jeff is not uncommon Some 36 million Americans report some de-gree of hearing loss making it one of the most common physical conditions after arthritis and
heart disease according to the Hearing Loss Association of America Unlike Jeff however hearing loss comes on slowly for most people
ldquoIt is a really stealthy onsetrdquo Tim Osthus Duluth hearing instrument specialist said ldquoIt is not like one day they can hear and the next day they cannot It is something that happens over 20 to 30 years and each year it gets a tiny bit worserdquo
Once a person has hearing loss the worst im-pact is often on day-to-day conversations with friends and family
ldquoThey just realize holy cow I cannot hear a dang thing they are sayingrdquo Osthus said ldquoThat social isolation is something that happens slowly and they sometimes do not realize it is the hearing lossrdquo
For Jeff the inability to hear all of the voices in a conversation with a group of friends caused him to avoid situations where lots of people are talking at once
ldquoI have become a hermit I avoid events where there are a lot of voices and stuffrdquo Nemitz said ldquoI cannot hear their conversations Even at home I am often saying ldquohuhrdquo or ldquowhatrdquordquoS
The good news is that there are solutions for people who experience hearing loss
ldquoStep one is obviously coming in and being seenrdquo Osthus said ldquoThere are an awful lot of places that offer free hearing testingrdquo
Once a hearing loss patient has been seen by a doctor they can be fitted for a hearing aid or instrument In recent years advances in tech-nology have made hearing aids lighter and more comfortable for the people wearing them
ldquoThe modern-day hearing instrumentmdashthey are phenomenal in that they are so comfort-ablerdquo Osthus said ldquoIn a short period of time people forget they are wearing themrdquo
Just like glasses or braces a first-time wearer of hearing aids needs to allow them a period of adjustment
ldquoYou are basically retraining your brain to hear so right off the bat you are going to hear things in ways you have never heard before and sometimes it can be overwhelmingrdquo Ost-
hus said ldquoSome peoplesrsquo voices will have tones you have not heard so you might not recognize them and everyday things like running the faucet will sound like Niagara Falls but those things fade away with timerdquo
Hearing aids come in various styles from types that you can see to varieties that are not visible to others

For Jeff looking into hearing aids is just part of the process of dealing with his newly onset hearing loss
ldquoI am looking into it since they tell you that your brain tends to adapt to whatever yoursquove got to work with so the sooner you get it the less time you have to adaptrdquo Nemitz said ldquoIt is just something I am going to have to get used tordquo

Do you have a favorite restaurant on the North Shore A favorite server a favorite salad
We want to know and so do your favorite restaurants
Last year North Shore Highway 61 held the first ever Readerrsquos Choice Restaurant Awards survey and contest and more than 300 readers responded
It was a great success and the restaurants that won were really excited and honored
Wersquore doing it again this year and we hope yoursquoll participate
There are some cool categories like what restaurant has the best finger food or who is the best server on the North Shore
Where do you go to get the best breakfast the tastiest soup or steak And who has the best view
These are just a few of the categories in the Readerrsquos Choice Awards
The contest is the brain child of Sue OrsquoQuinn who works for Northern Wilds Media pub-lisher of North Shore Highway 61
Shawn Perich co-owner of Northern Wilds Media said he and fellow co-owner Amber Pratt immediately jumped on the idea when OrsquoQuinn proposed it
ldquoWe live in a community that has a tremen-dous variety of restaurants considering its sizerdquo Perich said ldquoWe have a lot of choices of good places to eat and theyrsquore not all serving the same standard fare We tried to come up with a contest that would reflect that and gen-erate a little excitement out there and we didrdquo
Perich said the restaurants were really pleased when they won
The contest also gave peo-ple a chance to recognize outstanding restaurants and servers And Janice Beck received a $50 gift cer-tificate to her favorite res-taurant when she won the contest drawing
When the Readers Choice Restaurant Awards was first
launched last year Perich said they had no idea what kind of responses they would get or from whom
ldquoThey came from all over the placerdquo he said ldquoIt wasnrsquot just locals And we were also sur-prised that restaurants that were closed in the winter still got votesrdquo
Angry Trout for example which is closed in the winter got firsts for Best Fish Best Salad and Best View Open year-round the Gun-flint Tavern got firsts for Best Soup Best Veg-gie Option Best Beer and best Finger Food The Crooked Spoon received firsts for the Best Steak Best Lunch and Food Prep
Sven amp Olersquos was chosen for being the Best Kid-Friendly and for having the Best Pizza Chez Jude won for the Best Wine List and tied with the Lemon Wolf in Beaver Bay for Best Sweets
Cascade Lodge Restaurant won for the Best Breakfast and My Sisterrsquos Place was voted as having the Best Burger on the North Shore
Last but not least Rob Larson server at the Trestle Inn was chosen as the Best Server on the North Shore
Each of the winners received plaques too so look for them the next time you visit your fa-vorite eatery
And vote for this yearrsquos winnersYou can find the 2013 Readerrsquos Choice
Restaurant Awards mail in ballots in this issue and the March issue or log onto our Website at wwwnorthshorehwy61com and vote One ballot each please

Comments are due by Feb25 for the Minne-sota DNRrsquos proposal to authorize grant-in-aid trail funding for the 16-mile Cook County All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) Trail in Tom Lake area of Grand Portage State Forest in northeastern Minnesota
Cook County will sponsor the proposal and will provide trail development and mainte-nance in cooperation with the Cook County ATV Club
Located in the Grand Portage State Forest the trail follows existing forest access routes mini-mum maintenance roads and forest system roads The route was designated for ATV use
in 2007 as part of the DNRrsquos comprehensive multi-year state forest classification and desig-nation process
Adding the existing trail to the grant-in-aid system qualifies it for additional resources and funding that can be applied to trail signs main-tenance monitoring and repair The trail will be managed for ATV use although other public uses are allowed It may be closed at times for safety or to prevent erosion or trail damage

By Ada Igoe
During the frozen days of late winter you donrsquot like to find wa-ter dripping from your roof down your walls But if your home is susceptible to ice dams this scenario may be all too familiar
More often than not ice dams are a dripping and damaging consequence of having an inadequately insulated roof cavity said Nace Hagemann of Nace Hagemann Construction For ice dams to form two things are needed warm air rising out of the building and snow on the roof
ldquoGenerally speaking warm air is moving through the roof cavityrdquo said Nate Works of Caribou Cabin Services ldquoHot air from the inside of your home warms the underside of the roof rsquos plywood and the snow melts aboverdquo
When the melted snow flows down the roof and hits the cold soffits at the roof rsquos edge the water freezes Over time frozen melted snow backs up on the roof creating an infamous ice dam On warm or sunny days the dam starts to melt some-times right into your home Or the dam may stop the snow melt before it gets to the cold soffits causing the water to flow back under your shingles and seep through your roof
ldquoThey can create a lot of damagerdquo said Works ldquoIf water gets into the rafter cavity the wet insulation can mold and if the in-sulationrsquos wet and never dries out it can rot the wood next to itrdquo
In addition ice dams can damage ceilings and stain sheetrock walls Ice dams deteriorate roofs and are hard on asphalt shin-gles said Works
Both Works and Hagemann agree that ice dams should be limited to older homes The amount of insulation required by current Minnesota building code should prevent ice dams on new construction said Works If your new home suffers from ice dams somethingrsquos wrong said Hagemann
Homesrsquo southern exposures can be slightly more susceptible to ice dams said Works although often the snow melted by the sun on homesrsquo south sides runs all the way off the roof without stopping on the soffits to form a dam
Homeowners can combat ice dams in a number of ways A popular solution is stapling heated cables onto roofs More so-phisticated ice melt systems that use aluminum panels to cover
heated cables can be installed near the bottom edge of the roof for permanent ice dam prevention
Not a fan of putting more holes in roofs by installing heated cables Hagemann suggests homeowners also look into insulating or vent-ing their roof cavity to keep the hot air causing ice dams from sitting there Vents that bring cold air in through the soffits help keep the roof cav-ity cool
ldquoHopefully the vents take care of [heat from the homersquos
interior] before the heat reaches the roofrdquo he said Hagemann said any type of blown-in insulation such as
spray foam will help prevent heat leakage better than rolled insulation
ldquoFiberglass insulation is tough to get really tightrdquo he said Both Works and Hagemann recommend a roof underlayment
like ice and water membrane between the shingles and the roof rsquos plywood to further deter water seepage from the roof
Homeowners should remember that ice dams canrsquot form if there isnrsquot snow on your roof said Works A roof shovel or rake with an extendible handle lets homeowners remove snow from their roofs while they stand on the ground Removing snow should be homeownersrsquo first step when dealing with an existing ice dam he said
You should resist the ill-advised temptation to climb on the roof to hack away at the ice build-up
ldquoYou stand a chance of hurting yourself and your roofrdquo said Works
Personally Hagemann feels homeowners are better off shov-eling their roofs than installing a metal roof which are often lauded for their easy care Hagemann said he prefers the insula-tive qualities of asphalt shingles and hersquos also not fond of the rapid speed that ice and snow can slide off metal roofs which could injure people and critters who might be caught in falling snowrsquos path
If snow removal doesnrsquot alleviate the ice dam problem Works said he uses hot water spray from a pressure washer system with a heater to slowly melt away the ice Most professional equip-ment designed for ice dam removal uses hot water he said which although time consuming is the safest and most effec-tive method for dealing with ice dams
When it comes to ice dams prevention is always preferable to clamoring on an ice-slick roof

Professional computer repair in Cook County is a simple affair Sundew Technical Services Mark D Consulting Boreal Access and Times Two Design All four can get the job done which you choose ultimately depends on per-sonal preferences In a rural area like this with limited options available building a relation-ship with a computer repair person can be a long-term endeavor Herersquos a rundown of what the three providers offer
218-387-9471 support borealorg)
In addition to being an in-tegral part of life in Cook County and the signature community Internet service provider this nonprofit coop-erative also repairs comput-ers On its website Boreal says those repair services include
ldquoeverything from system troubleshooting to replacing and installing hardware and software to virus and spyware removalrdquo
In an interview Borealrsquos Jack McDonnell elaborated a little on services they provide ldquoWe do everythingrdquo he said ldquoWe work on net-works printers and other components except we donrsquot like to work on laptop hardware We spend quite a lot of time configuring phones PDAs and smartphones for people If you have a new computer we can move files and software from your old one and configure your new one We do a lot of virus and spyware removal We can rebuild infected computers bring them back to life often without reloading the oper-ating systemrdquo

The ability to hear is something many of us take for granted For a long time Grand Marais resident Jeff Nemitz was one of those people Then a few months ago while going about his everyday routine everything changed
ldquoI had completely lost the hearing in my right earrdquo Nemitz said ldquoWhen you poke your finger in your ear you can hear something But at that point I could not hear anythingrdquo
After a few trips to the doctor and a steroid prescription Jeff began to regain some of the hearing he had lost Some of the damage was permanent however and he has had to adapt to the change
ldquoI have become very sensitive to loud soundssince that happenedrdquo Nemitz said ldquoIt is hard for me to listen to live music indoors like in bars and stuff I just do not enjoy it at allrdquo
What happened to Jeff is not uncommon Some 36 million Americans report some de-gree of hearing loss making it one of the most common physical conditions after arthritis and
heart disease according to the Hearing Loss Association of America Unlike Jeff however hearing loss comes on slowly for most people
ldquoIt is a really stealthy onsetrdquo Tim Osthus Duluth hearing instrument specialist said ldquoIt is not like one day they can hear and the next day they cannot It is something that happens over 20 to 30 years and each year it gets a tiny bit worserdquo
Once a person has hearing loss the worst im-pact is often on day-to-day conversations with friends and family
ldquoThey just realize holy cow I cannot hear a dang thing they are sayingrdquo Osthus said ldquoThat social isolation is something that happens slowly and they sometimes do not realize it is the hearing lossrdquo
For Jeff the inability to hear all of the voices in a conversation with a group of friends caused him to avoid situations where lots of people are talking at once
ldquoI have become a hermit I avoid events where there are a lot of voices and stuffrdquo Nemitz said ldquoI cannot hear their conversations Even at home I am often saying ldquohuhrdquo or ldquowhatrdquordquoS
The good news is that there are solutions for people who experience hearing loss
ldquoStep one is obviously coming in and being seenrdquo Osthus said ldquoThere are an awful lot of places that offer free hearing testingrdquo
Once a hearing loss patient has been seen by a doctor they can be fitted for a hearing aid or instrument In recent years advances in tech-nology have made hearing aids lighter and more comfortable for the people wearing them
ldquoThe modern-day hearing instrumentmdashthey are phenomenal in that they are so comfort-ablerdquo Osthus said ldquoIn a short period of time people forget they are wearing themrdquo
Just like glasses or braces a first-time wearer of hearing aids needs to allow them a period of adjustment
ldquoYou are basically retraining your brain to hear so right off the bat you are going to hear things in ways you have never heard before and sometimes it can be overwhelmingrdquo Ost-
hus said ldquoSome peoplesrsquo voices will have tones you have not heard so you might not recognize them and everyday things like running the faucet will sound like Niagara Falls but those things fade away with timerdquo
Hearing aids come in various styles from types that you can see to varieties that are not visible to others
ldquoWith all the people who have hearing loss only about 30 percent ever actually do some-thing about itrdquo Osthus said ldquoReally do you want to let those moments pass you byrdquo
For Jeff looking into hearing aids is just part of the process of dealing with his newly onset hearing loss
ldquoI am looking into it since they tell you that your brain tends to adapt to whatever yoursquove got to work with so the sooner you get it the less time you have to adaptrdquo Nemitz said ldquoIt is just something I am going to have to get used tordquo

Do you have a favorite restaurant on the North Shore A favorite server a favorite salad
We want to know and so do your favorite restaurants
Last year North Shore Highway 61 held the first ever Readerrsquos Choice Restaurant Awards survey and contest and more than 300 readers responded
It was a great success and the restaurants that won were really excited and honored
Wersquore doing it again this year and we hope yoursquoll participate
There are some cool categories like what restaurant has the best finger food or who is the best server on the North Shore
Where do you go to get the best breakfast the tastiest soup or steak And who has the best view
These are just a few of the categories in the Readerrsquos Choice Awards
The contest is the brain child of Sue OrsquoQuinn who works for Northern Wilds Media pub-lisher of North Shore Highway 61
Shawn Perich co-owner of Northern Wilds Media said he and fellow co-owner Amber Pratt immediately jumped on the idea when OrsquoQuinn proposed it
ldquoWe live in a community that has a tremen-dous variety of restaurants considering its sizerdquo Perich said ldquoWe have a lot of choices of good places to eat and theyrsquore not all serving the same standard fare We tried to come up with a contest that would reflect that and gen-erate a little excitement out there and we didrdquo
Perich said the restaurants were really pleased when they won
The contest also gave peo-ple a chance to recognize outstanding restaurants and servers And Janice Beck received a $50 gift cer-tificate to her favorite res-taurant when she won the contest drawing
When the Readers Choice Restaurant Awards was first
launched last year Perich said they had no idea what kind of responses they would get or from whom
ldquoThey came from all over the placerdquo he said ldquoIt wasnrsquot just locals And we were also sur-prised that restaurants that were closed in the winter still got votesrdquo
Angry Trout for example which is closed in the winter got firsts for Best Fish Best Salad and Best View Open year-round the Gun-flint Tavern got firsts for Best Soup Best Veg-gie Option Best Beer and best Finger Food The Crooked Spoon received firsts for the Best Steak Best Lunch and Food Prep
Sven amp Olersquos was chosen for being the Best Kid-Friendly and for having the Best Pizza Chez Jude won for the Best Wine List and tied with the Lemon Wolf in Beaver Bay for Best Sweets
Cascade Lodge Restaurant won for the Best Breakfast and My Sisterrsquos Place was voted as having the Best Burger on the North Shore
Last but not least Rob Larson server at the Trestle Inn was chosen as the Best Server on the North Shore
Each of the winners received plaques too so look for them the next time you visit your fa-vorite eatery

Comments are due by Feb25 for the Minne-sota DNRrsquos proposal to authorize grant-in-aid trail funding for the 16-mile Cook County All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) Trail in Tom Lake area of Grand Portage State Forest in northeastern Minnesota
Cook County will sponsor the proposal and will provide trail development and mainte-nance in cooperation with the Cook County ATV Club
Located in the Grand Portage State Forest the trail follows existing forest access routes mini-mum maintenance roads and forest system roads The route was designated for ATV use
in 2007 as part of the DNRrsquos comprehensive multi-year state forest classification and desig-nation process
Adding the existing trail to the grant-in-aid system qualifies it for additional resources and funding that can be applied to trail signs main-tenance monitoring and repair The trail will be managed for ATV use although other public uses are allowed It may be closed at times for safety or to prevent erosion or trail damage

By Ada Igoe
During the frozen days of late winter you donrsquot like to find wa-ter dripping from your roof down your walls But if your home is susceptible to ice dams this scenario may be all too familiar
More often than not ice dams are a dripping and damaging consequence of having an inadequately insulated roof cavity said Nace Hagemann of Nace Hagemann Construction For ice dams to form two things are needed warm air rising out of the building and snow on the roof
ldquoGenerally speaking warm air is moving through the roof cavityrdquo said Nate Works of Caribou Cabin Services ldquoHot air from the inside of your home warms the underside of the roof rsquos plywood and the snow melts aboverdquo
When the melted snow flows down the roof and hits the cold soffits at the roof rsquos edge the water freezes Over time frozen melted snow backs up on the roof creating an infamous ice dam On warm or sunny days the dam starts to melt some-times right into your home Or the dam may stop the snow melt before it gets to the cold soffits causing the water to flow back under your shingles and seep through your roof
ldquoThey can create a lot of damagerdquo said Works ldquoIf water gets into the rafter cavity the wet insulation can mold and if the in-sulationrsquos wet and never dries out it can rot the wood next to itrdquo
In addition ice dams can damage ceilings and stain sheetrock walls Ice dams deteriorate roofs and are hard on asphalt shin-gles said Works
Both Works and Hagemann agree that ice dams should be limited to older homes The amount of insulation required by current Minnesota building code should prevent ice dams on new construction said Works If your new home suffers from ice dams somethingrsquos wrong said Hagemann
Homesrsquo southern exposures can be slightly more susceptible to ice dams said Works although often the snow melted by the sun on homesrsquo south sides runs all the way off the roof without stopping on the soffits to form a dam
Homeowners can combat ice dams in a number of ways A popular solution is stapling heated cables onto roofs More so-phisticated ice melt systems that use aluminum panels to cover
heated cables can be installed near the bottom edge of the roof for permanent ice dam prevention
Not a fan of putting more holes in roofs by installing heated cables Hagemann suggests homeowners also look into insulating or vent-ing their roof cavity to keep the hot air causing ice dams from sitting there Vents that bring cold air in through the soffits help keep the roof cav-ity cool
ldquoHopefully the vents take care of [heat from the homersquos
interior] before the heat reaches the roofrdquo he said Hagemann said any type of blown-in insulation such as
spray foam will help prevent heat leakage better than rolled insulation
ldquoFiberglass insulation is tough to get really tightrdquo he said Both Works and Hagemann recommend a roof underlayment
like ice and water membrane between the shingles and the roof rsquos plywood to further deter water seepage from the roof
Homeowners should remember that ice dams canrsquot form if there isnrsquot snow on your roof said Works A roof shovel or rake with an extendible handle lets homeowners remove snow from their roofs while they stand on the ground Removing snow should be homeownersrsquo first step when dealing with an existing ice dam he said
You should resist the ill-advised temptation to climb on the roof to hack away at the ice build-up
ldquoYou stand a chance of hurting yourself and your roofrdquo said Works
Personally Hagemann feels homeowners are better off shov-eling their roofs than installing a metal roof which are often lauded for their easy care Hagemann said he prefers the insula-tive qualities of asphalt shingles and hersquos also not fond of the rapid speed that ice and snow can slide off metal roofs which could injure people and critters who might be caught in falling snowrsquos path
If snow removal doesnrsquot alleviate the ice dam problem Works said he uses hot water spray from a pressure washer system with a heater to slowly melt away the ice Most professional equip-ment designed for ice dam removal uses hot water he said which although time consuming is the safest and most effec-tive method for dealing with ice dams
When it comes to ice dams prevention is always preferable to clamoring on an ice-slick roof

interior] before the heat reaches the roofrdquo he said Hagemann said any type of blown-in insulation such as
spray foam will help prevent heat leakage better than rolled insulation
ldquoFiberglass insulation is tough to get really tightrdquo he said Both Works and Hagemann recommend a roof underlayment
like ice and water membrane between the shingles and the roof rsquos plywood to further deter water seepage from the roof
Homeowners should remember that ice dams canrsquot form if there isnrsquot snow on your roof said Works A roof shovel or rake with an extendible handle lets homeowners remove snow from their roofs while they stand on the ground Removing snow should be homeownersrsquo first step when dealing with an existing ice dam he said
You should resist the ill-advised temptation to climb on the roof to hack away at the ice build-up
ldquoYou stand a chance of hurting yourself and your roofrdquo said Works
Personally Hagemann feels homeowners are better off shov-eling their roofs than installing a metal roof which are often lauded for their easy care Hagemann said he prefers the insula-tive qualities of asphalt shingles and hersquos also not fond of the rapid speed that ice and snow can slide off metal roofs which could injure people and critters who might be caught in falling snowrsquos path
If snow removal doesnrsquot alleviate the ice dam problem Works said he uses hot water spray from a pressure washer system with a heater to slowly melt away the ice Most professional equip-ment designed for ice dam removal uses hot water he said which although time consuming is the safest and most effec-tive method for dealing with ice dams
When it comes to ice dams prevention is always preferable to clamoring on an ice-slick roof

The ability to hear is something many of us take for granted For a long time Grand Marais resident Jeff Nemitz was one of those people Then a few months ago while going about his everyday routine everything changed
ldquoI had completely lost the hearing in my right earrdquo Nemitz said ldquoWhen you poke your finger in your ear you can hear something But at that point I could not hear anythingrdquo
After a few trips to the doctor and a steroid prescription Jeff began to regain some of the hearing he had lost Some of the damage was permanent however and he has had to adapt to the change
ldquoI have become very sensitive to loud soundssince that happenedrdquo Nemitz said ldquoIt is hard for me to listen to live music indoors like in bars and stuff I just do not enjoy it at allrdquo
What happened to Jeff is not uncommon Some 36 million Americans report some de-gree of hearing loss making it one of the most common physical conditions after arthritis and
heart disease according to the Hearing Loss Association of America Unlike Jeff however hearing loss comes on slowly for most people
ldquoIt is a really stealthy onsetrdquo Tim Osthus Duluth hearing instrument specialist said ldquoIt is not like one day they can hear and the next day they cannot It is something that happens over 20 to 30 years and each year it gets a tiny bit worserdquo
Once a person has hearing loss the worst im-pact is often on day-to-day conversations with friends and family
ldquoThey just realize holy cow I cannot hear a dang thing they are sayingrdquo Osthus said ldquoThat social isolation is something that happens slowly and they sometimes do not realize it is the hearing lossrdquo
For Jeff the inability to hear all of the voices in a conversation with a group of friends caused him to avoid situations where lots of people are talking at once
ldquoI have become a hermit I avoid events where there are a lot of voices and stuffrdquo Nemitz said ldquoI cannot hear their conversations Even at home I am often saying ldquohuhrdquo or ldquowhatrdquordquoS
The good news is that there are solutions for people who experience hearing loss
ldquoStep one is obviously coming in and being seenrdquo Osthus said ldquoThere are an awful lot of places that offer free hearing testingrdquo
Once a hearing loss patient has been seen by a doctor they can be fitted for a hearing aid or instrument In recent years advances in tech-nology have made hearing aids lighter and more comfortable for the people wearing them
ldquoThe modern-day hearing instrumentmdashthey are phenomenal in that they are so comfort-ablerdquo Osthus said ldquoIn a short period of time people forget they are wearing themrdquo
Just like glasses or braces a first-time wearer of hearing aids needs to allow them a period of adjustment
ldquoYou are basically retraining your brain to hear so right off the bat you are going to hear things in ways you have never heard before and sometimes it can be overwhelmingrdquo Ost-
hus said ldquoSome peoplesrsquo voices will have tones you have not heard so you might not recognize them and everyday things like running the faucet will sound like Niagara Falls but those things fade away with timerdquo
Hearing aids come in various styles from types that you can see to varieties that are not visible to others
ldquoWith all the people who have hearing loss only about 30 percent ever actually do some-thing about itrdquo Osthus said ldquoReally do you want to let those moments pass you byrdquo
For Jeff looking into hearing aids is just part of the process of dealing with his newly onset hearing loss
ldquoI am looking into it since they tell you that your brain tends to adapt to whatever yoursquove got to work with so the sooner you get it the less time you have to adaptrdquo Nemitz said ldquoIt is just something I am going to have to get used tordquo

Do you have a favorite restaurant on the North Shore A favorite server a favorite salad
We want to know and so do your favorite restaurants
Last year North Shore Highway 61 held the first ever Readerrsquos Choice Restaurant Awards survey and contest and more than 300 readers responded
It was a great success and the restaurants that won were really excited and honored
Wersquore doing it again this year and we hope yoursquoll participate
There are some cool categories like what restaurant has the best finger food or who is the best server on the North Shore
Where do you go to get the best breakfast the tastiest soup or steak And who has the best view
These are just a few of the categories in the Readerrsquos Choice Awards
The contest is the brain child of Sue OrsquoQuinn who works for Northern Wilds Media pub-lisher of North Shore Highway 61
Shawn Perich co-owner of Northern Wilds Media said he and fellow co-owner Amber Pratt immediately jumped on the idea when OrsquoQuinn proposed it
ldquoWe live in a community that has a tremen-dous variety of restaurants considering its sizerdquo Perich said ldquoWe have a lot of choices of good places to eat and theyrsquore not all serving the same standard fare We tried to come up with a contest that would reflect that and gen-erate a little excitement out there and we didrdquo
Perich said the restaurants were really pleased when they won
The contest also gave peo-ple a chance to recognize outstanding restaurants and servers And Janice Beck received a $50 gift cer-tificate to her favorite res-taurant when she won the contest drawing
When the Readers Choice Restaurant Awards was first
launched last year Perich said they had no idea what kind of responses they would get or from whom
ldquoThey came from all over the placerdquo he said ldquoIt wasnrsquot just locals And we were also sur-prised that restaurants that were closed in the winter still got votesrdquo
Angry Trout for example which is closed in the winter got firsts for Best Fish Best Salad and Best View Open year-round the Gun-flint Tavern got firsts for Best Soup Best Veg-gie Option Best Beer and best Finger Food The Crooked Spoon received firsts for the Best Steak Best Lunch and Food Prep
Sven amp Olersquos was chosen for being the Best Kid-Friendly and for having the Best Pizza Chez Jude won for the Best Wine List and tied with the Lemon Wolf in Beaver Bay for Best Sweets
Cascade Lodge Restaurant won for the Best Breakfast and My Sisterrsquos Place was voted as having the Best Burger on the North Shore
Last but not least Rob Larson server at the Trestle Inn was chosen as the Best Server on the North Shore
Each of the winners received plaques too so look for them the next time you visit your fa-vorite eatery
And vote for this yearrsquos winnersYou can find the 2013 Readerrsquos Choice
Restaurant Awards mail in ballots in this issue and the March issue or log onto our Website at wwwnorthshorehwy61com and vote One ballot each please

Comments are due by Feb25 for the Minne-sota DNRrsquos proposal to authorize grant-in-aid trail funding for the 16-mile Cook County All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) Trail in Tom Lake area of Grand Portage State Forest in northeastern Minnesota
Cook County will sponsor the proposal and will provide trail development and mainte-nance in cooperation with the Cook County ATV Club
Located in the Grand Portage State Forest the trail follows existing forest access routes mini-mum maintenance roads and forest system roads The route was designated for ATV use
in 2007 as part of the DNRrsquos comprehensive multi-year state forest classification and desig-nation process
Adding the existing trail to the grant-in-aid system qualifies it for additional resources and funding that can be applied to trail signs main-tenance monitoring and repair The trail will be managed for ATV use although other public uses are allowed It may be closed at times for safety or to prevent erosion or trail damage

By Ada Igoe
During the frozen days of late winter you donrsquot like to find wa-ter dripping from your roof down your walls But if your home is susceptible to ice dams this scenario may be all too familiar
More often than not ice dams are a dripping and damaging consequence of having an inadequately insulated roof cavity said Nace Hagemann of Nace Hagemann Construction For ice dams to form two things are needed warm air rising out of the building and snow on the roof
ldquoGenerally speaking warm air is moving through the roof cavityrdquo said Nate Works of Caribou Cabin Services ldquoHot air from the inside of your home warms the underside of the roof rsquos plywood and the snow melts aboverdquo
When the melted snow flows down the roof and hits the cold soffits at the roof rsquos edge the water freezes Over time frozen melted snow backs up on the roof creating an infamous ice dam On warm or sunny days the dam starts to melt some-times right into your home Or the dam may stop the snow melt before it gets to the cold soffits causing the water to flow back under your shingles and seep through your roof
ldquoThey can create a lot of damagerdquo said Works ldquoIf water gets into the rafter cavity the wet insulation can mold and if the in-sulationrsquos wet and never dries out it can rot the wood next to itrdquo
In addition ice dams can damage ceilings and stain sheetrock walls Ice dams deteriorate roofs and are hard on asphalt shin-gles said Works
Both Works and Hagemann agree that ice dams should be limited to older homes The amount of insulation required by current Minnesota building code should prevent ice dams on new construction said Works If your new home suffers from ice dams somethingrsquos wrong said Hagemann
Homesrsquo southern exposures can be slightly more susceptible to ice dams said Works although often the snow melted by the sun on homesrsquo south sides runs all the way off the roof without stopping on the soffits to form a dam
Homeowners can combat ice dams in a number of ways A popular solution is stapling heated cables onto roofs More so-phisticated ice melt systems that use aluminum panels to cover
heated cables can be installed near the bottom edge of the roof for permanent ice dam prevention
Not a fan of putting more holes in roofs by installing heated cables Hagemann suggests homeowners also look into insulating or vent-ing their roof cavity to keep the hot air causing ice dams from sitting there Vents that bring cold air in through the soffits help keep the roof cav-ity cool
ldquoHopefully the vents take care of [heat from the homersquos
interior] before the heat reaches the roofrdquo he said Hagemann said any type of blown-in insulation such as
spray foam will help prevent heat leakage better than rolled insulation
ldquoFiberglass insulation is tough to get really tightrdquo he said Both Works and Hagemann recommend a roof underlayment
like ice and water membrane between the shingles and the roof rsquos plywood to further deter water seepage from the roof
Homeowners should remember that ice dams canrsquot form if there isnrsquot snow on your roof said Works A roof shovel or rake with an extendible handle lets homeowners remove snow from their roofs while they stand on the ground Removing snow should be homeownersrsquo first step when dealing with an existing ice dam he said

Personally Hagemann feels homeowners are better off shov-eling their roofs than installing a metal roof which are often lauded for their easy care Hagemann said he prefers the insula-tive qualities of asphalt shingles and hersquos also not fond of the rapid speed that ice and snow can slide off metal roofs which could injure people and critters who might be caught in falling snowrsquos path
If snow removal doesnrsquot alleviate the ice dam problem Works said he uses hot water spray from a pressure washer system with a heater to slowly melt away the ice Most professional equip-ment designed for ice dam removal uses hot water he said which although time consuming is the safest and most effec-tive method for dealing with ice dams

spray foam will help prevent heat leakage better than rolled insulation
ldquoFiberglass insulation is tough to get really tightrdquo he said Both Works and Hagemann recommend a roof underlayment
like ice and water membrane between the shingles and the roof rsquos plywood to further deter water seepage from the roof
Homeowners should remember that ice dams canrsquot form if there isnrsquot snow on your roof said Works A roof shovel or rake with an extendible handle lets homeowners remove snow from their roofs while they stand on the ground Removing snow should be homeownersrsquo first step when dealing with an existing ice dam he said

Do you have a favorite restaurant on the North Shore A favorite server a favorite salad
We want to know and so do your favorite restaurants
Last year North Shore Highway 61 held the first ever Readerrsquos Choice Restaurant Awards survey and contest and more than 300 readers responded
It was a great success and the restaurants that won were really excited and honored
Wersquore doing it again this year and we hope yoursquoll participate
There are some cool categories like what restaurant has the best finger food or who is the best server on the North Shore
Where do you go to get the best breakfast the tastiest soup or steak And who has the best view
These are just a few of the categories in the Readerrsquos Choice Awards
The contest is the brain child of Sue OrsquoQuinn who works for Northern Wilds Media pub-lisher of North Shore Highway 61
Shawn Perich co-owner of Northern Wilds Media said he and fellow co-owner Amber Pratt immediately jumped on the idea when OrsquoQuinn proposed it
ldquoWe live in a community that has a tremen-dous variety of restaurants considering its sizerdquo Perich said ldquoWe have a lot of choices of good places to eat and theyrsquore not all serving the same standard fare We tried to come up with a contest that would reflect that and gen-erate a little excitement out there and we didrdquo
Perich said the restaurants were really pleased when they won
The contest also gave peo-ple a chance to recognize outstanding restaurants and servers And Janice Beck received a $50 gift cer-tificate to her favorite res-taurant when she won the contest drawing
When the Readers Choice Restaurant Awards was first
launched last year Perich said they had no idea what kind of responses they would get or from whom
ldquoThey came from all over the placerdquo he said ldquoIt wasnrsquot just locals And we were also sur-prised that restaurants that were closed in the winter still got votesrdquo
Angry Trout for example which is closed in the winter got firsts for Best Fish Best Salad and Best View Open year-round the Gun-flint Tavern got firsts for Best Soup Best Veg-gie Option Best Beer and best Finger Food The Crooked Spoon received firsts for the Best Steak Best Lunch and Food Prep
Sven amp Olersquos was chosen for being the Best Kid-Friendly and for having the Best Pizza Chez Jude won for the Best Wine List and tied with the Lemon Wolf in Beaver Bay for Best Sweets
Cascade Lodge Restaurant won for the Best Breakfast and My Sisterrsquos Place was voted as having the Best Burger on the North Shore
Last but not least Rob Larson server at the Trestle Inn was chosen as the Best Server on the North Shore
Each of the winners received plaques too so look for them the next time you visit your fa-vorite eatery
And vote for this yearrsquos winnersYou can find the 2013 Readerrsquos Choice
Restaurant Awards mail in ballots in this issue and the March issue or log onto our Website at wwwnorthshorehwy61com and vote One ballot each please
Wersquoll announce the winners in June and have the drawing for the lucky winner of the $50 gift certificate

COmPUTER continued from page 10
Comments are due by Feb25 for the Minne-sota DNRrsquos proposal to authorize grant-in-aid trail funding for the 16-mile Cook County All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) Trail in Tom Lake area of Grand Portage State Forest in northeastern Minnesota
Cook County will sponsor the proposal and will provide trail development and mainte-nance in cooperation with the Cook County ATV Club
Located in the Grand Portage State Forest the trail follows existing forest access routes mini-mum maintenance roads and forest system roads The route was designated for ATV use
in 2007 as part of the DNRrsquos comprehensive multi-year state forest classification and desig-nation process
Adding the existing trail to the grant-in-aid system qualifies it for additional resources and funding that can be applied to trail signs main-tenance monitoring and repair The trail will be managed for ATV use although other public uses are allowed It may be closed at times for safety or to prevent erosion or trail damage

By Ada Igoe
During the frozen days of late winter you donrsquot like to find wa-ter dripping from your roof down your walls But if your home is susceptible to ice dams this scenario may be all too familiar
More often than not ice dams are a dripping and damaging consequence of having an inadequately insulated roof cavity said Nace Hagemann of Nace Hagemann Construction For ice dams to form two things are needed warm air rising out of the building and snow on the roof
ldquoGenerally speaking warm air is moving through the roof cavityrdquo said Nate Works of Caribou Cabin Services ldquoHot air from the inside of your home warms the underside of the roof rsquos plywood and the snow melts aboverdquo
When the melted snow flows down the roof and hits the cold soffits at the roof rsquos edge the water freezes Over time frozen melted snow backs up on the roof creating an infamous ice dam On warm or sunny days the dam starts to melt some-times right into your home Or the dam may stop the snow melt before it gets to the cold soffits causing the water to flow back under your shingles and seep through your roof
ldquoThey can create a lot of damagerdquo said Works ldquoIf water gets into the rafter cavity the wet insulation can mold and if the in-sulationrsquos wet and never dries out it can rot the wood next to itrdquo
In addition ice dams can damage ceilings and stain sheetrock walls Ice dams deteriorate roofs and are hard on asphalt shin-gles said Works
Both Works and Hagemann agree that ice dams should be limited to older homes The amount of insulation required by current Minnesota building code should prevent ice dams on new construction said Works If your new home suffers from ice dams somethingrsquos wrong said Hagemann
Homesrsquo southern exposures can be slightly more susceptible to ice dams said Works although often the snow melted by the sun on homesrsquo south sides runs all the way off the roof without stopping on the soffits to form a dam
Homeowners can combat ice dams in a number of ways A popular solution is stapling heated cables onto roofs More so-phisticated ice melt systems that use aluminum panels to cover
heated cables can be installed near the bottom edge of the roof for permanent ice dam prevention
Not a fan of putting more holes in roofs by installing heated cables Hagemann suggests homeowners also look into insulating or vent-ing their roof cavity to keep the hot air causing ice dams from sitting there Vents that bring cold air in through the soffits help keep the roof cav-ity cool
ldquoHopefully the vents take care of [heat from the homersquos
interior] before the heat reaches the roofrdquo he said Hagemann said any type of blown-in insulation such as
spray foam will help prevent heat leakage better than rolled insulation
ldquoFiberglass insulation is tough to get really tightrdquo he said Both Works and Hagemann recommend a roof underlayment
like ice and water membrane between the shingles and the roof rsquos plywood to further deter water seepage from the roof
Homeowners should remember that ice dams canrsquot form if there isnrsquot snow on your roof said Works A roof shovel or rake with an extendible handle lets homeowners remove snow from their roofs while they stand on the ground Removing snow should be homeownersrsquo first step when dealing with an existing ice dam he said
You should resist the ill-advised temptation to climb on the roof to hack away at the ice build-up
ldquoYou stand a chance of hurting yourself and your roofrdquo said Works
Personally Hagemann feels homeowners are better off shov-eling their roofs than installing a metal roof which are often lauded for their easy care Hagemann said he prefers the insula-tive qualities of asphalt shingles and hersquos also not fond of the rapid speed that ice and snow can slide off metal roofs which could injure people and critters who might be caught in falling snowrsquos path
If snow removal doesnrsquot alleviate the ice dam problem Works said he uses hot water spray from a pressure washer system with a heater to slowly melt away the ice Most professional equip-ment designed for ice dam removal uses hot water he said which although time consuming is the safest and most effec-tive method for dealing with ice dams
When it comes to ice dams prevention is always preferable to clamoring on an ice-slick roof

Homeowners should remember that ice dams canrsquot form if there isnrsquot snow on your roof said Works A roof shovel or rake with an extendible handle lets homeowners remove snow from their roofs while they stand on the ground Removing snow should be homeownersrsquo first step when dealing with an existing ice dam he said
You should resist the ill-advised temptation to climb on the roof to hack away at the ice build-up
ldquoYou stand a chance of hurting yourself and your roofrdquo said Works
Personally Hagemann feels homeowners are better off shov-eling their roofs than installing a metal roof which are often lauded for their easy care Hagemann said he prefers the insula-tive qualities of asphalt shingles and hersquos also not fond of the rapid speed that ice and snow can slide off metal roofs which could injure people and critters who might be caught in falling snowrsquos path
If snow removal doesnrsquot alleviate the ice dam problem Works said he uses hot water spray from a pressure washer system with a heater to slowly melt away the ice Most professional equip-ment designed for ice dam removal uses hot water he said which although time consuming is the safest and most effec-tive method for dealing with ice dams
When it comes to ice dams prevention is always preferable to clamoring on an ice-slick roof

Do you have a favorite restaurant on the North Shore A favorite server a favorite salad
We want to know and so do your favorite restaurants
Last year North Shore Highway 61 held the first ever Readerrsquos Choice Restaurant Awards survey and contest and more than 300 readers responded
It was a great success and the restaurants that won were really excited and honored
Wersquore doing it again this year and we hope yoursquoll participate
There are some cool categories like what restaurant has the best finger food or who is the best server on the North Shore
Where do you go to get the best breakfast the tastiest soup or steak And who has the best view
These are just a few of the categories in the Readerrsquos Choice Awards
The contest is the brain child of Sue OrsquoQuinn who works for Northern Wilds Media pub-lisher of North Shore Highway 61
Shawn Perich co-owner of Northern Wilds Media said he and fellow co-owner Amber Pratt immediately jumped on the idea when OrsquoQuinn proposed it
ldquoWe live in a community that has a tremen-dous variety of restaurants considering its sizerdquo Perich said ldquoWe have a lot of choices of good places to eat and theyrsquore not all serving the same standard fare We tried to come up with a contest that would reflect that and gen-erate a little excitement out there and we didrdquo
Perich said the restaurants were really pleased when they won
The contest also gave peo-ple a chance to recognize outstanding restaurants and servers And Janice Beck received a $50 gift cer-tificate to her favorite res-taurant when she won the contest drawing
When the Readers Choice Restaurant Awards was first
launched last year Perich said they had no idea what kind of responses they would get or from whom
ldquoThey came from all over the placerdquo he said ldquoIt wasnrsquot just locals And we were also sur-prised that restaurants that were closed in the winter still got votesrdquo
Angry Trout for example which is closed in the winter got firsts for Best Fish Best Salad and Best View Open year-round the Gun-flint Tavern got firsts for Best Soup Best Veg-gie Option Best Beer and best Finger Food The Crooked Spoon received firsts for the Best Steak Best Lunch and Food Prep
Sven amp Olersquos was chosen for being the Best Kid-Friendly and for having the Best Pizza Chez Jude won for the Best Wine List and tied with the Lemon Wolf in Beaver Bay for Best Sweets
Cascade Lodge Restaurant won for the Best Breakfast and My Sisterrsquos Place was voted as having the Best Burger on the North Shore
Last but not least Rob Larson server at the Trestle Inn was chosen as the Best Server on the North Shore
Each of the winners received plaques too so look for them the next time you visit your fa-vorite eatery
And vote for this yearrsquos winnersYou can find the 2013 Readerrsquos Choice
Restaurant Awards mail in ballots in this issue and the March issue or log onto our Website at wwwnorthshorehwy61com and vote One ballot each please
Wersquoll announce the winners in June and have the drawing for the lucky winner of the $50 gift certificate

COmPUTER continued from page 10
Comments are due by Feb25 for the Minne-sota DNRrsquos proposal to authorize grant-in-aid trail funding for the 16-mile Cook County All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) Trail in Tom Lake area of Grand Portage State Forest in northeastern Minnesota
Cook County will sponsor the proposal and will provide trail development and mainte-nance in cooperation with the Cook County ATV Club
Located in the Grand Portage State Forest the trail follows existing forest access routes mini-mum maintenance roads and forest system roads The route was designated for ATV use
in 2007 as part of the DNRrsquos comprehensive multi-year state forest classification and desig-nation process
Adding the existing trail to the grant-in-aid system qualifies it for additional resources and funding that can be applied to trail signs main-tenance monitoring and repair The trail will be managed for ATV use although other public uses are allowed It may be closed at times for safety or to prevent erosion or trail damage

By Ada Igoe
During the frozen days of late winter you donrsquot like to find wa-ter dripping from your roof down your walls But if your home is susceptible to ice dams this scenario may be all too familiar
More often than not ice dams are a dripping and damaging consequence of having an inadequately insulated roof cavity said Nace Hagemann of Nace Hagemann Construction For ice dams to form two things are needed warm air rising out of the building and snow on the roof
ldquoGenerally speaking warm air is moving through the roof cavityrdquo said Nate Works of Caribou Cabin Services ldquoHot air from the inside of your home warms the underside of the roof rsquos plywood and the snow melts aboverdquo
When the melted snow flows down the roof and hits the cold soffits at the roof rsquos edge the water freezes Over time frozen melted snow backs up on the roof creating an infamous ice dam On warm or sunny days the dam starts to melt some-times right into your home Or the dam may stop the snow melt before it gets to the cold soffits causing the water to flow back under your shingles and seep through your roof
ldquoThey can create a lot of damagerdquo said Works ldquoIf water gets into the rafter cavity the wet insulation can mold and if the in-sulationrsquos wet and never dries out it can rot the wood next to itrdquo
In addition ice dams can damage ceilings and stain sheetrock walls Ice dams deteriorate roofs and are hard on asphalt shin-gles said Works
Both Works and Hagemann agree that ice dams should be limited to older homes The amount of insulation required by current Minnesota building code should prevent ice dams on new construction said Works If your new home suffers from ice dams somethingrsquos wrong said Hagemann
Homesrsquo southern exposures can be slightly more susceptible to ice dams said Works although often the snow melted by the sun on homesrsquo south sides runs all the way off the roof without stopping on the soffits to form a dam
Homeowners can combat ice dams in a number of ways A popular solution is stapling heated cables onto roofs More so-phisticated ice melt systems that use aluminum panels to cover
heated cables can be installed near the bottom edge of the roof for permanent ice dam prevention
Not a fan of putting more holes in roofs by installing heated cables Hagemann suggests homeowners also look into insulating or vent-ing their roof cavity to keep the hot air causing ice dams from sitting there Vents that bring cold air in through the soffits help keep the roof cav-ity cool
ldquoHopefully the vents take care of [heat from the homersquos
interior] before the heat reaches the roofrdquo he said Hagemann said any type of blown-in insulation such as
spray foam will help prevent heat leakage better than rolled insulation
ldquoFiberglass insulation is tough to get really tightrdquo he said Both Works and Hagemann recommend a roof underlayment
like ice and water membrane between the shingles and the roof rsquos plywood to further deter water seepage from the roof
Homeowners should remember that ice dams canrsquot form if there isnrsquot snow on your roof said Works A roof shovel or rake with an extendible handle lets homeowners remove snow from their roofs while they stand on the ground Removing snow should be homeownersrsquo first step when dealing with an existing ice dam he said
You should resist the ill-advised temptation to climb on the roof to hack away at the ice build-up
ldquoYou stand a chance of hurting yourself and your roofrdquo said Works
Personally Hagemann feels homeowners are better off shov-eling their roofs than installing a metal roof which are often lauded for their easy care Hagemann said he prefers the insula-tive qualities of asphalt shingles and hersquos also not fond of the rapid speed that ice and snow can slide off metal roofs which could injure people and critters who might be caught in falling snowrsquos path
If snow removal doesnrsquot alleviate the ice dam problem Works said he uses hot water spray from a pressure washer system with a heater to slowly melt away the ice Most professional equip-ment designed for ice dam removal uses hot water he said which although time consuming is the safest and most effec-tive method for dealing with ice dams
When it comes to ice dams prevention is always preferable to clamoring on an ice-slick roof

During the frozen days of late winter you donrsquot like to find wa-ter dripping from your roof down your walls But if your home is susceptible to ice dams this scenario may be all too familiar
More often than not ice dams are a dripping and damaging consequence of having an inadequately insulated roof cavity said Nace Hagemann of Nace Hagemann Construction For ice dams to form two things are needed warm air rising out of the building and snow on the roof
ldquoGenerally speaking warm air is moving through the roof cavityrdquo said Nate Works of Caribou Cabin Services ldquoHot air from the inside of your home warms the underside of the roof rsquos plywood and the snow melts aboverdquo
When the melted snow flows down the roof and hits the cold soffits at the roof rsquos edge the water freezes Over time frozen melted snow backs up on the roof creating an infamous ice dam On warm or sunny days the dam starts to melt some-times right into your home Or the dam may stop the snow melt before it gets to the cold soffits causing the water to flow back under your shingles and seep through your roof
ldquoThey can create a lot of damagerdquo said Works ldquoIf water gets into the rafter cavity the wet insulation can mold and if the in-sulationrsquos wet and never dries out it can rot the wood next to itrdquo
In addition ice dams can damage ceilings and stain sheetrock walls Ice dams deteriorate roofs and are hard on asphalt shin-gles said Works
Both Works and Hagemann agree that ice dams should be limited to older homes The amount of insulation required by current Minnesota building code should prevent ice dams on new construction said Works If your new home suffers from ice dams somethingrsquos wrong said Hagemann
Homesrsquo southern exposures can be slightly more susceptible to ice dams said Works although often the snow melted by the sun on homesrsquo south sides runs all the way off the roof without stopping on the soffits to form a dam
Homeowners can combat ice dams in a number of ways A popular solution is stapling heated cables onto roofs More so-phisticated ice melt systems that use aluminum panels to cover
heated cables can be installed near the bottom edge of the roof for permanent ice dam prevention
Not a fan of putting more holes in roofs by installing heated cables Hagemann suggests homeowners also look into insulating or vent-ing their roof cavity to keep the hot air causing ice dams from sitting there Vents that bring cold air in through the soffits help keep the roof cav-ity cool
ldquoHopefully the vents take care of [heat from the homersquos
interior] before the heat reaches the roofrdquo he said Hagemann said any type of blown-in insulation such as
spray foam will help prevent heat leakage better than rolled insulation
ldquoFiberglass insulation is tough to get really tightrdquo he said Both Works and Hagemann recommend a roof underlayment
like ice and water membrane between the shingles and the roof rsquos plywood to further deter water seepage from the roof
Homeowners should remember that ice dams canrsquot form if there isnrsquot snow on your roof said Works A roof shovel or rake with an extendible handle lets homeowners remove snow from their roofs while they stand on the ground Removing snow should be homeownersrsquo first step when dealing with an existing ice dam he said
You should resist the ill-advised temptation to climb on the roof to hack away at the ice build-up
ldquoYou stand a chance of hurting yourself and your roofrdquo said Works
Personally Hagemann feels homeowners are better off shov-eling their roofs than installing a metal roof which are often lauded for their easy care Hagemann said he prefers the insula-tive qualities of asphalt shingles and hersquos also not fond of the rapid speed that ice and snow can slide off metal roofs which could injure people and critters who might be caught in falling snowrsquos path
If snow removal doesnrsquot alleviate the ice dam problem Works said he uses hot water spray from a pressure washer system with a heater to slowly melt away the ice Most professional equip-ment designed for ice dam removal uses hot water he said which although time consuming is the safest and most effec-tive method for dealing with ice dams
When it comes to ice dams prevention is always preferable to clamoring on an ice-slick roof

By Ada Igoe
During the frozen days of late winter you donrsquot like to find wa-ter dripping from your roof down your walls But if your home is susceptible to ice dams this scenario may be all too familiar
More often than not ice dams are a dripping and damaging consequence of having an inadequately insulated roof cavity said Nace Hagemann of Nace Hagemann Construction For ice dams to form two things are needed warm air rising out of the building and snow on the roof
ldquoGenerally speaking warm air is moving through the roof cavityrdquo said Nate Works of Caribou Cabin Services ldquoHot air from the inside of your home warms the underside of the roof rsquos plywood and the snow melts aboverdquo
When the melted snow flows down the roof and hits the cold soffits at the roof rsquos edge the water freezes Over time frozen melted snow backs up on the roof creating an infamous ice dam On warm or sunny days the dam starts to melt some-times right into your home Or the dam may stop the snow melt before it gets to the cold soffits causing the water to flow back under your shingles and seep through your roof
ldquoThey can create a lot of damagerdquo said Works ldquoIf water gets into the rafter cavity the wet insulation can mold and if the in-sulationrsquos wet and never dries out it can rot the wood next to itrdquo
In addition ice dams can damage ceilings and stain sheetrock walls Ice dams deteriorate roofs and are hard on asphalt shin-gles said Works
Both Works and Hagemann agree that ice dams should be limited to older homes The amount of insulation required by current Minnesota building code should prevent ice dams on new construction said Works If your new home suffers from ice dams somethingrsquos wrong said Hagemann
Homesrsquo southern exposures can be slightly more susceptible to ice dams said Works although often the snow melted by the sun on homesrsquo south sides runs all the way off the roof without stopping on the soffits to form a dam
Homeowners can combat ice dams in a number of ways A popular solution is stapling heated cables onto roofs More so-phisticated ice melt systems that use aluminum panels to cover
heated cables can be installed near the bottom edge of the roof for permanent ice dam prevention
Not a fan of putting more holes in roofs by installing heated cables Hagemann suggests homeowners also look into insulating or vent-ing their roof cavity to keep the hot air causing ice dams from sitting there Vents that bring cold air in through the soffits help keep the roof cav-ity cool
ldquoHopefully the vents take care of [heat from the homersquos
interior] before the heat reaches the roofrdquo he said Hagemann said any type of blown-in insulation such as
spray foam will help prevent heat leakage better than rolled insulation
ldquoFiberglass insulation is tough to get really tightrdquo he said Both Works and Hagemann recommend a roof underlayment
like ice and water membrane between the shingles and the roof rsquos plywood to further deter water seepage from the roof
Homeowners should remember that ice dams canrsquot form if there isnrsquot snow on your roof said Works A roof shovel or rake with an extendible handle lets homeowners remove snow from their roofs while they stand on the ground Removing snow should be homeownersrsquo first step when dealing with an existing ice dam he said
You should resist the ill-advised temptation to climb on the roof to hack away at the ice build-up
ldquoYou stand a chance of hurting yourself and your roofrdquo said Works
Personally Hagemann feels homeowners are better off shov-eling their roofs than installing a metal roof which are often lauded for their easy care Hagemann said he prefers the insula-tive qualities of asphalt shingles and hersquos also not fond of the rapid speed that ice and snow can slide off metal roofs which could injure people and critters who might be caught in falling snowrsquos path
If snow removal doesnrsquot alleviate the ice dam problem Works said he uses hot water spray from a pressure washer system with a heater to slowly melt away the ice Most professional equip-ment designed for ice dam removal uses hot water he said which although time consuming is the safest and most effec-tive method for dealing with ice dams

interior] before the heat reaches the roofrdquo he said Hagemann said any type of blown-in insulation such as
spray foam will help prevent heat leakage better than rolled insulation
ldquoFiberglass insulation is tough to get really tightrdquo he said Both Works and Hagemann recommend a roof underlayment
like ice and water membrane between the shingles and the roof rsquos plywood to further deter water seepage from the roof
Homeowners should remember that ice dams canrsquot form if there isnrsquot snow on your roof said Works A roof shovel or rake with an extendible handle lets homeowners remove snow from their roofs while they stand on the ground Removing snow should be homeownersrsquo first step when dealing with an existing ice dam he said
You should resist the ill-advised temptation to climb on the roof to hack away at the ice build-up
ldquoYou stand a chance of hurting yourself and your roofrdquo said Works

During the frozen days of late winter you donrsquot like to find wa-ter dripping from your roof down your walls But if your home is susceptible to ice dams this scenario may be all too familiar
More often than not ice dams are a dripping and damaging consequence of having an inadequately insulated roof cavity said Nace Hagemann of Nace Hagemann Construction For ice dams to form two things are needed warm air rising out of the building and snow on the roof
ldquoGenerally speaking warm air is moving through the roof cavityrdquo said Nate Works of Caribou Cabin Services ldquoHot air from the inside of your home warms the underside of the roof rsquos plywood and the snow melts aboverdquo
When the melted snow flows down the roof and hits the cold soffits at the roof rsquos edge the water freezes Over time frozen melted snow backs up on the roof creating an infamous ice dam On warm or sunny days the dam starts to melt some-times right into your home Or the dam may stop the snow melt before it gets to the cold soffits causing the water to flow back under your shingles and seep through your roof
ldquoThey can create a lot of damagerdquo said Works ldquoIf water gets into the rafter cavity the wet insulation can mold and if the in-sulationrsquos wet and never dries out it can rot the wood next to itrdquo
In addition ice dams can damage ceilings and stain sheetrock walls Ice dams deteriorate roofs and are hard on asphalt shin-gles said Works
Both Works and Hagemann agree that ice dams should be limited to older homes The amount of insulation required by current Minnesota building code should prevent ice dams on new construction said Works If your new home suffers from ice dams somethingrsquos wrong said Hagemann
Homesrsquo southern exposures can be slightly more susceptible to ice dams said Works although often the snow melted by the sun on homesrsquo south sides runs all the way off the roof without stopping on the soffits to form a dam
Homeowners can combat ice dams in a number of ways A popular solution is stapling heated cables onto roofs More so-phisticated ice melt systems that use aluminum panels to cover
heated cables can be installed near the bottom edge of the roof for permanent ice dam prevention
Not a fan of putting more holes in roofs by installing heated cables Hagemann suggests homeowners also look into insulating or vent-ing their roof cavity to keep the hot air causing ice dams from sitting there Vents that bring cold air in through the soffits help keep the roof cav-ity cool
ldquoHopefully the vents take care of [heat from the homersquos
interior] before the heat reaches the roofrdquo he said Hagemann said any type of blown-in insulation such as
spray foam will help prevent heat leakage better than rolled insulation
ldquoFiberglass insulation is tough to get really tightrdquo he said Both Works and Hagemann recommend a roof underlayment
like ice and water membrane between the shingles and the roof rsquos plywood to further deter water seepage from the roof
Homeowners should remember that ice dams canrsquot form if there isnrsquot snow on your roof said Works A roof shovel or rake with an extendible handle lets homeowners remove snow from their roofs while they stand on the ground Removing snow should be homeownersrsquo first step when dealing with an existing ice dam he said
You should resist the ill-advised temptation to climb on the roof to hack away at the ice build-up
ldquoYou stand a chance of hurting yourself and your roofrdquo said Works
Personally Hagemann feels homeowners are better off shov-eling their roofs than installing a metal roof which are often lauded for their easy care Hagemann said he prefers the insula-tive qualities of asphalt shingles and hersquos also not fond of the rapid speed that ice and snow can slide off metal roofs which could injure people and critters who might be caught in falling snowrsquos path
If snow removal doesnrsquot alleviate the ice dam problem Works said he uses hot water spray from a pressure washer system with a heater to slowly melt away the ice Most professional equip-ment designed for ice dam removal uses hot water he said which although time consuming is the safest and most effec-tive method for dealing with ice dams
When it comes to ice dams prevention is always preferable to clamoring on an ice-slick roof

interior] before the heat reaches the roofrdquo he said Hagemann said any type of blown-in insulation such as
spray foam will help prevent heat leakage better than rolled insulation
ldquoFiberglass insulation is tough to get really tightrdquo he said Both Works and Hagemann recommend a roof underlayment
like ice and water membrane between the shingles and the roof rsquos plywood to further deter water seepage from the roof
Homeowners should remember that ice dams canrsquot form if there isnrsquot snow on your roof said Works A roof shovel or rake with an extendible handle lets homeowners remove snow from their roofs while they stand on the ground Removing snow should be homeownersrsquo first step when dealing with an existing ice dam he said
You should resist the ill-advised temptation to climb on the roof to hack away at the ice build-up
ldquoYou stand a chance of hurting yourself and your roofrdquo said Works
Personally Hagemann feels homeowners are better off shov-eling their roofs than installing a metal roof which are often lauded for their easy care Hagemann said he prefers the insula-tive qualities of asphalt shingles and hersquos also not fond of the rapid speed that ice and snow can slide off metal roofs which could injure people and critters who might be caught in falling snowrsquos path
If snow removal doesnrsquot alleviate the ice dam problem Works said he uses hot water spray from a pressure washer system with a heater to slowly melt away the ice Most professional equip-ment designed for ice dam removal uses hot water he said which although time consuming is the safest and most effec-tive method for dealing with ice dams
When it comes to ice dams prevention is always preferable to clamoring on an ice-slick roof
