Oddly enough, the Lumberjacks' first Nordic ski meet was canceled because of too much snow, not too little, the usual reason early in the season. Despite that hiccup, the Cloquet-Esko-Carlton teams competed in two meets entering the Christmas break, and are looking forward to hosting the third meet Tuesday, Jan. 3 at Pine Valley. "That one is unique because it takes place in the dark, since our entire trail is lighted," said head coach Tim Stark. "Parents don't have to take off work, so there te... Full story

The next city council meeting is at 7 p.m. Tuesday at the Kettle River Senior Center. Plan to attend this meeting. Quilting at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church is 9 a.m. to noon every Wednesday.

If something came in quart jars, the glass was made... Full story
