Bemidji Beat: BREC Zamboni approved
The Bemidji City Council last night voted 5-1 to award a bid for an ice resurfacer for the Bemidji Regional Event Center. Frank J. Zamboni & Co. had the low bid of two received at $85,780.18. (The other bid was from Becker Arena Products, Inc. for $98,970.) Bemidji City Councilor Ron Johnson noted that the existing ice resurfacer at the John Glas Fieldhouse, where the Beavers now play, is electric while the new Zamboni will be propane-powered. He wondered whether that would create an issue if the old machine would be used as a backup. Click here to read the Bemidji Beat blog.By Bethany Wesley , November 17, 2009

They give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, Oh yeah
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
So Mama don't take my Kodachrome away
Well, I have an Olympus and it's digital, not Kodachrome, but Paul Simon's lyrics fit today, I think, as the blue skies made up for a rather nippy day. A sunny day in autumn makes it that much more clear there's still some left of the greens of summer. Click here to read Trail Mix.
