Rob's Mahtowa Tavern is up and running after a kitchen fire in March

 

     Following a kitchen fire that crippled business for nearly a month the owner of Rob’s Mahtowa Tavern is happy to report that things are back to normal.  Rob Mohalski said the kitchen is again up and running.  Rob said he has to admit, there were a few scary moments the day the fire took place.  A severed electrical line created a few tense moments when it landed next to a propane tank on the Mahtowa Tavern property.

 

    Mohalski said the loss of their kitchen made for a difficult month financially.  But Rob says timing is everything.  And, fortunately, the kitchen is back up and running as the busy late spring and summer season is just about here.

Talbot Remembered as Man Who Got Things Done

 

     The foot print Moose Lake city administrator Dave Talbot leaves behind is hard to over look.  Talbot recently died of pneumonia and complications of a lung transplant he received a few years ago.  Talbot began his career as the finance director during the mayor John Fedo administration in Duluth.

Fedo and Talbot teamed up to be movers and shakers in that city of 100-thousand.  The pair spearheaded efforts to help bring I-35 through Duluth as well as the brick paving project in the downtown area.  They were also instrumental in putting together a financial package to build the convention center near the DECC.

 

    After serving a brief stint with the city of Hibbing, Talbot landed in Moose Lake in the mid 90s as city administrator where his energy for getting things done began to pay off almost immediately.  He spearheaded projects that quite literally changed the landscape of Moose Lake.  Those projects included adding the chamber of commerce building at the south end of town, the fire and police hall, a new municipal liquor store that was built about five years ago, the community center, library and city offices in the downtown area and the Veteran’s memorial at the north end of Moose Lake just to name a few.

 

    Close friend and co-worker, Moose Lake mayor Ted Shaw said he’s struggling with the passing of Talbot and respectfully declined to talk about it on camera.  But, Shaw said he hopes residents of Moose Lake will appreciate everything Talbot helped accomplish.
