Cozy up to winter movie releases METRO CREATIVE SERVICES Even though it may have been many weeks since the nation collectively adjusted their clocks to “fall back,” now that the holiday twinkle lights that illuminated homes and businesses have been put away, midwinter darkness may seem even more apparent. The hours of daylight are incrementally increasing, but with the sun still setting relatively early, those eager to fill the evening hours may be wondering how to pass the time.

Watching a movie is an ideal activity for the cold, dark evenings of winter.

Nestled in the theater with a bucket of popcorn and other favorite treats, movie-goers will not be bothered by falling snow or the sun setting outdoors. It’s time to gear up for a new year of feature films. Here’s a look at movies coming to big and small screens soon enough.

Eva Longoria and Jesse Garcia are featured in the film available on Disney+.

• “The Beekeeper” (January 12): A man is on a brutal campaign for vengeance. The stakes are elevated when it is revealed he is a former

operative of a clandestine group known as “Beekeepers.” The film stars Jason Statham, Josh Hutcherson and Minnie Driver.

but things go awry when she makes the mistake of falling for the ex-boyfriend of the Plastics’ leader. Tina Fey, John Hamm, Jenna Fischer, and an assortment of teen stars comprise the cast.

BEMIDJI — “Reassemble” by textile artist Rachel Breen is set to open Monday, Jan. 22, in the Marley and Sandy Kaul Gallery at the Watermark Art Center.

BEMIDJI — Back by popular demand, Deuces Wild Dueling Pianos is returning to the Sanford Center at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 10.

“Deuces Wild Dueling Pianos is a fan favorite of northern Minnesota and has captivated Bemidji audiences time and time

again,” a release said.

Lead performers Ted and Dave have been performing together for over 17 years. The duo showcases a mix of music and parodies ranging from country to rap songs.

“The two musicians have crafted what has become a nationally acclaimed show of music, comedy and intense audience engagement,” the

release said. “Son of a miner from the northern woods of Minnesota, David Charles Eichholz is a versatile, self-taught musician who plays the piano, guitar, saxophone, harmonica, trumpet and countless other instruments.”

He was later recruited

by Little Ditty’s, a Dueling Piano Bar at the Mall of America, where he

performed four nights a week for five years.

“Ted got his start in Deuces Wild by walking out of his day job and demanding an audition.

Although he hadn’t previously played in a dueling piano-style show, his amazing showmanship and obvious ability to perform as a world-class entertainer blew away the competition,” the

release said. “Since then, he has played thousands of dueling piano shows with performances all over the country.”

Tickets are on sale now at ticketmaster.com or from the Sanford Center ticket office.

If you are fishing with a resort, they will either allow you to drive out or they will transport you out to the fish house depending upon ice conditions and how they operate their business.

Most ice fishing on the south end of the lake is in 24 to 32 feet of water.

Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second on a plain hook or an ice fishing jig has been effective. On the jigging line, aggressive lures such as a rippin rap with rattles and vibration can be good at times.

Resorts are fishing a variety of structure and non structure. Some fish houses are set targeting goto areas either on top, on the slope or at the base of structure such as reefs, underwater points, etc. Other fish houses are placed in the deep mud adjacent to the structure.

Where you are fishing often dictates what kind of fish you catch and when the best bite takes place. Both areas are having success, but in different ways.

On both ends of the lake, the one two punch of a jigging line and deadstick combined with ice

fishing electronics is the way to go. Electronics can be rented by many resorts and local bait shops.

Line Workers’ days vary, and some duties will include maintaining or repairing overhead and underground electrical distribution and transmission systems and substations. They’ll also frame and erect poles and attach necessary fixtures and equipment. They’ll string, sag, and splice conductors (wires) and connect transformers and other equipment, trim trees, replace such equipment as broken insulators, split crossarms, cutouts, ties, faulty clamps, or braces, and perform similar replacement or repair work as necessary to clear up storm damage.
