Congratulations Steelheads!

Northstar would like to congratulate the Idaho Steelheads

for advancing to the ECHL Kelly Cup finals!

We also wish defenseman Colin Peters a speedy recovery,

he lost a few teeth during last nite's victory... ahh, playoff hockey.

Drivin & Cryin ( May in Motion sidenote)

At Northstar, I'm not trying to save the world. I do think we can make

positive changes in our immediate surroundings by utilizing bicycles for

transportation and delivery. That said, I still occasionally drive my truck

to the store or when I go snowboarding or if I'm just being super lazy and

it's raining out. I'm not anti-car per say, just pro-bike. So, when May in

Motion rolled around again, I decided to put my bicycle in a stand behind

our booth to draw some attention. With the banners and literature and

bikes and bags and this big ole stand; I opted to ferry everything

downtown with my truck. After plenty of handshaking and networking I

realized we had been milling about for a good two hours without feeding

the meter. I'm so used to free bike parking, it completely slipped my mind

to check the time. Well, sure enough, I found a snickering little ticket

tucked under the wiper blade. Yes, I can taste the irony of driving my truck

(with my bike in the back) to an "alternative transportation" event. And

yes, I have learned my lesson. And yes, I brought payment to the

courthouse on bicycle (saving the cost of a stamp!). And yes, Northstar

will transport all of your small parcels around town so this same fate

doesn't fall upon you too!
