    The Isanti County Commissioners put a halt to adding a drone program to the county’s Emergency Management Department at its meeting held Tuesday, May 20.

At that time the board chose to table the program because of the uncertainty of the federal funding that would pay for the drones. kAmpE E9:D >66E:?8 |2ID@?

    Peter Geye has made a connection with the North Shore that is so strong, it has become a regular feature in his literary works.
