Notice of Public Hearing. The Misquah Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on the proposed eighteen-lot residential development on the former Hagen pasture, south of town, tonight — Tuesday, July 14 — at 7 p.m. at the city hall. Written comment may be submitted to Clerk Donna Skoglund, who will read every word of it. Alderman Pete Hagen, nephew of the late owner, remains recused. Coffee provided, and, as ever, regretted.

Summary of Council Action, July 7. The City Council, at its regular July meeting: granted a license for a brewery and taproom in the former Co-op creamery; deferred the proposed stop sign at Birch and Second to October, vacating the hearing once noticed for tonight; and deferred to the fall the matter of a stain on the Main Street sidewalk. Minutes available at the clerk’s window, where the municipal record now fills, per Clerk Skoglund, a drawer and a half.

Church Notices

First Lutheran Church. Sunday worship, 9 a.m., Rev. Karl Lindholm. Sermon: “On Patience,” Part Three. The reverend notes that the series was not planned to run this long, and asks the congregation to draw the appropriate lesson. Ladies’ Aid Thursday at 1.

Misquah Methodist Church. Sunday worship, 10:30 a.m., Rev. Tom Eckert. The parking lot is repaved and open; the narrow way, the reverend reports, is now freshly surfaced, and he will resist the obvious sermon, though not, he admits, easily.

Vital Records & Permits

Building permits. Projecting sign, Second Avenue — approved, pending the brewery’s opening. Deck, 12×14, lakeside — Hagen Construction; no relation, the applicant again asks us to note. Parking-lot resurfacing, Methodist church — completed and inspected.

Marriage licenses. Issued to Joshua Timm and Kelsey Braaten, both of Misquah, for a September wedding, outdoors, “weather permitting.” The weather, we remind them, has been told, but makes no promises in writing.

Births. A son to Adam and Jen Ouellette; a daughter to Eric and Kayla Sorensen — the two June arrivals for whom Earl repainted the population sign to 3,916, and for whom he declines to repaint it again until further notice.
