This week Don Johnson wrote in with a reminder of a very important Wrenshall anniversary. Here is the story: "It turns out that the 12th of June is the 30-year anniversary of the Brickyard Restaurant. So I thought I would give you some history of how it came into being."

They were Hugh Line, head janitor at the school who served several terms as mayor of Wrenshall; Ken Holmes, a farmer and then later a bus...
This has been an interesting and emotional week for our family. I had to take my husband, Bob, to St. Luke’s Hospital in Duluth on Tuesday, June 9 because he was very tired and just couldn’t get words out to communicate with us. I thought it might have been a mild stroke, so off we went in a hurry. When we arrived, I went right to the emergency door, and nurses in PPE came to the van and hurried him off to the ER. I was not able to go in, so waited in my van in the hospital parking lot for a c...

Cloquet's Arrowhead Fastpitch League canceled the summer...

I’ve been so sad since George Floyd’s murder. It’s sad and enraging. I keep wondering how it could have been different. For years, my son has been teaching me about police brutality against black Americans from his vantage point as a resident and businessperson in Brooklyn. And all the others. Philando Castile’s murder, a Minnesota black man who simply reached for his wallet when a traffic cop asked him for his driver’s license. Justine Damond, who called to report the possible assault o...
