Awesome Alpine boys – 5th at State!
The perspective is interesting. Alpine skiing is made up of four statewide sections. Each section averages 15-20 participating schools with an average of 10-15 participants per team (individual boys and girls). With that being said, at the beginning of the season, there are 60+ schools and likely over 1,000 individual participants all gunning for the same goal—make it to the […]
Great season on new ice
It has been an exciting hockey season for the Cook County Youth Hockey program. The teams began the season in November with practices on the new rink.

Technology brings opportunities and challenges
It was thrilling to read an email this week that indicated that Broadband will be installed into our school this summer! I cannot say what this means for Broadband’s installation throughout the rest of the county, but it is a long awaited event for us and one that our district very much needs. Technology is not a “quick fix” to […]

Where are the fish biting?
Jon’s fish report from Buck’s Hardware Hank: It’s trout time! Everyone seems to be looking for lakers. We’ll get right to it then… Most of the action seems to be in the 25- to 40-foot range. Old standbys Daniels and Duncan were reporting decent action, nothing huge. Clearwater is always a good place to pick up a couple of fish. […]
Caught the cold
Presidents’ Day weekend was busy on the Gunflint Trail with cabin owners and vacationers traveling north for the holiday. This has always been a popular three-day weekend for many despite the possibility of treacherous February conditions. Rachelle was pleasantly surprised at this weekend’s attendance since she is a waitress at both Hungry Jack Lodge and Bearskin Lodge on Saturdays. It […]
