We're doing some upgrades to the JohnNephew.com website at the end of this week, which will require the Atom feed to be discontinued permanently. We're consolidating the feeds, so only the Feedburner feed will work from now on. If you're signed up for the Atom feed, please re-subscribe to our Feedburner feed now. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Just a heads up: This website may be unavailable for a bit in the next couple of days, as we alter things to accommodate upcoming changes in the way the Blogger service works. Hopefully the transition will be brief and relatively painless.

Part of last night's city council meeting made the evening news: the story of a 5th grade class from Maplewood's Weaver Elementary trying to help World War II veteran Russell Anderson get his Purple Heart was the topic of a segment on KARE11's newscast. You can read the story and view video on their website (the video is in the right hand column, somewhat hidden among the ads).

Edit: Here's a better link for the video.

I see Mayor Rossbach has been busy on his blog this weekend, serving up Maplewood news. Check out his posts on skywarn spotter training, the Extreme Green Makeover, and the impending demise of NEST (North East Suburban Transit).
