With a blowtorch in one hand and a paint gun in the other, Robert Jensen of Jensen Conservation Services applies a ferric nitrate patina to one of the bronze eagles on the Soldiers and Sailors Monument in Duluth Civic Center on Sunday. The 97-year-old monument is being restored with the help of a $70,000 grant from the Minnesota Clean Water and Legacy Fund. (Steve Kuchera / skuchera@duluthnews.com )
