Boys fall just short against Floodwood
In a game where the Vikings were competitive to the end, and several players shined, Viking forward Jacob Dorr’s play stood out against the Floodwood Polar Bears. The senior led the team with 17 points, six rebounds, three assists and two steals, and his defense was outstanding. Still, the Vikings couldn’t quite get over the hump and narrowly fell 52-48 […]
Girls fall to Floodwood in a close game
The smell of popcorn and hotdogs cooking came from the concession stand outside the Pam Taylor gymnasium. Inside the gym, the Vikings were doing some home cooking of their own, taking a 25-21 lead into halftime over a very game Floodwood Polar Bears basketball team. With Viking leading scorer and top post player Rhonnie Poyirier out of the lineup, junior […]
Girls’ basketball team plays well, but Barnum too much
Playing Barnum at Barnum proved to be a tall order for the Cook County High School girls’ basketball team. Still, the Vikings’ team kept the score close through the first half before the Bomber’s tall post players wore them down. At halftime, the score was 36-27, but Barnum held the Vikings to 17 second-half points while adding 41 points to […]
This is where we want to be

So, you were driven up and they did the old once over with mirrors on poles, walking around the car and scanning […]

“Read a good book lately?” That’s often a topic of conversation among my friends. I love books, but it’s hard for me to sit very long. I probably listen to as many books as I read, although I’m not sure that counts as “reading.” It’s more like “experiencing” a book. I’m married to a booka holic, and I’m jealous. I […]
Brain Worm (Part 3)
Much has been learned about brain worm since it was shown to be the cause of “moose sickness” in 1964. However, there are still many important questions that need to be answered. Do infected gastropods behave differently than uninfected ones resulting in their being more likely to be ingested? Do infected moose no longer showing signs die from the parasite […]

The Big Sell
The big game’s a’comin’ and every year there’s a lot of talk about the commercials. Normally commercials are a thing I avoid. During a commercial break, I usually take a stroll or engage in light banter. I might fix a snack or even, on occasion, check the laundry. The reason I don’t give commercials my full attention is they are […]
