As most of you know, I am dealing with Stage 1 triple-negative breast cancer. I’m done with chemotherapy, have gotten the mastectomy, and am now getting radiation treatments. I thought I would be finished with the treatments on Oct. 25, but my doctors said because of the type of cancer I have, I need 33 treatments instead of the 20 I thought I’d have. It’s kind of a disappointment, but I will do what the doctors tell me to do. The Carlton County Historical Society announced that the 2024 barn...

Great cross country runners are built over time. While genetics probably helps, it's the miles and miles of running that can really make the difference. Raptors runner Jack Riley is proof.
