The Bombers jumped on the back of Rayna Klejeski to an impressive 50-34 girls basketball win over the Wrens in Wrenshall on Friday night. Barnum sprinted out to a 33-13 halftime lead and continued to feed Klejeski in the second half where she scored 14 more points in leading her team to the win. "We just couldn't match up against Klejeski," said Wrens coach Daimen LaFave. "She was just too tough for us inside." Klejeski nearly outscored the entire Wrenshall squad herself by finishing with 33 of...
One can only imagine how loud the South Ridge gym was by the end of regulation Monday night in an incredibly close game against Barnum. With his team trailing by three points and time winding down, the Panthers got a bit of heroics from Jaxson Bennett, who drained a 3-pointer that tied the game. That score allowed the Panthers to proceed to an impressive 74-71 double-overtime win over the Bombers. "We drew the set up just as we run it in practice," said Panthers coach Phil Pliska. "The guys ran...
It isn't very often that larger schools play smaller schools in Minnesota high school basketball, but with Covid, things have changed out of necessity. On Thursday night, the Cromwell-Wright girls team parlayed a layup in the last 10 seconds of the game to defeat Cloquet 54-53 in Cloquet. Cards sophomore Sascha Korpela notched the game-winning basket by driving to the basket for a right-handed with eight seconds remaining, giving the Cardinals the lead. "She got a double pick to head in for the...
After one period in Thursday night's hockey game against Duluth East, Cloquet-Esko-Carlton hockey coach Shea Walters might have thought, "here we go again." But - after falling twice to the Greyhounds this season - the Lumberjacks mounted a comeback and ended up in a 2-2 tie. The Greyhounds scored two goals, including one by Aiden Spenningsby just 1:08 into the game, and led 2-0 after one period. The Lumberjacks got their offense jump-started at the 3-minute mark of the second period when Logan...
This month is feeling a lot more like a new year to me than January did. Social media is filled with posts from folks remembering their last public event before lockdown measures swept the country, and I can’t help but compare each day to where we were last March. There are hopeful signs on the horizon as case numbers fall and vaccinations continue to expand. Spring in Minnesota is an inherently unpredictable time and the precarious nature of our place in this pandemic seems matched by the s...

I find myself saddened by a painful change in our community: It is harder to listen to each other and to understand each other. That difficulty then makes it harder for us to care for each other. As a follower of Jesus, I believe I am called and equipped by God's Spirit to care like Christ. If I do not listen to you, how can I really care for you? Why is this happening? Pastor and author Brian McLaren (author of "The Great Spiritual Migration" and "Faith After Doubt" and others) suggests that...
It has been a whole year since this plague of Covid-19 first crept into the Northland, and the days of mass vaccination have finally arrived. It is new, and yet not so new to me. I was a product of a Minnesota education that celebrated the wonders and power of science and trusted our doctors and scientists when they said we should do something. I was in an elementary Kalevala school line that first got polio shots and other immunizations that surely protected us so we could lead productive...
For two weeks in a row now, Carlton County has put out alerts letting people know there are openings for vaccinations at their weekly vaccine clinics and asking them to call 218-499-6310 to register for an appointment. Public information officer Meghann Levitt said the county doesn’t know very far in advance how many openings it will have for its vaccinations at the Barnum garage. Notices can’t run in the pages of the Pine Knot News, because they don’t even know how many doses are coming. Instead, people with internet access can check the C...
