Partnership helps expand childcare center

In a little over a year, Brittany Lemieux went from being faced with a tough decision – quit her job due to a lack of childcare for her newborn or hope an infant care spot would open before her maternity leave concluded – to helping alleviate the local childcare shortage herself by opening Rainy River Rugrats with Danyelle Deedrick.

It started raining and snowing in November and basically never stopped all winter long. Our usual January thaw never happened in 2022. This thaw normally melts some snow and settles things down for a week to 10 days. Then about March 13, we received 13 inches of wet heavy snow on top of a lot of snow and ice already on the ground and lakes. This heavy snow was followed by ongoing heavy rains. Common sense would tell you that we were going to get some flooding.
