Mural repairs

Ron Hoeft, left, and Ken Challis, of Hoeft Construction Company of Hurley, do some repair work on the Miners Memorial Mural on the corner of McLeod Avenue and Suffolk Street in downtown Ironwood Friday afternoon. The mural was damaged by a private snowplow driver on April 8. The mural repair is not finished, as Hoeft's crew replaced some of the old mural and installed a new primed section of plywood that still needs to be painted to match what was there. Hoeft said the artist, Kelly Meredith, of Butternut, Wis., is expected to paint on-site Monday, weather permitting.
