Both the basic and the new state pension rates will go up in April this year by 2.5 percent.

In an amazing show of support during an amazingly difficult year, Itasca County residents donated more than 2,000 toys and more than $4,000 in funds to the Second Harvest Food Bank. The effort was coordinated by Itasca County Sheriffâs Deputies Mike Partlow and Tom Williams.Â
Their aim was to fill one of their department boats with toys and gifts for local families. And they did that and so much more. According to Sheriff Vic Williams, the generosity of people was âremarkable.â
During a typical year, local law enforcement participates in a âShop With a Heroâ event that invites disadvantaged children to walk a store with an officer and pick out gifts, with funds donated from area sponsors, for their loved ones. This year, that event could not be held. So, Sheriff Williams explained how a couple of his deputies took it upon themselves to make sure that those children were not forgotten.Â
