This is the cold, hard truth - changes are coming to Cloquet's Northwoods Credit Union Arena and the neighboring Pine Valley hockey arena, no matter what. The Cloquet ice hockey arenas are looking at a future that includes renovations to the tune of close to $3 million, City Administrator Aaron Reeves told the new Cloquet City Council at its first work session meeting Jan. 3. At the same meeting, he recommended the council consider taking over ownership of the arena from the Cloquet Area Hockey...

At the final Cloquet City Council meeting for the year and before heading into closed session, city officials and fellow councilors said goodbye to outgoing Mayor Dave Hallback along with council members Dave Bjerkness, Jeff Rock and Barb Wyman. All four ran for re-election but were defeated either in the primary or general election. As one of the final business items of the year, the council voted 4-3 (Bjerkness, Roger Maki and Kerry Kolodge dissenting) to approve a tentative settlement with...
The old man squints through the cold air and down to rooftops and updrifting chimney smoke, silver-snow farm fields, the golden glow of street lamps, dark holes of wilderness. The night surrounds him as he sails in air, his eight trained beasts heaving vapor from the effort. Their legs kick rhythmically, their breath deep and chugging as they drag on their reins, pulling. The old man sighs and feels his tired bones. “I am old,” he murmurs. He tugs off heavy mittens and kneads, with gnarled fin...
It has been a tumultuous season for the Minnesota Wilderness. As they near the halfway point of the season, the Wilderness find themselves in unfamiliar territory in the standings - near the bottom of the North American Hockey League Central Division. The good news is the Wilderness picked up impressive back-to-back wins on Friday and Saturday at home over the bottom-dwelling Brookings Blizzard. "It was an important weekend from a standpoint of making up ground in the standings," said...

Featuring alumni from Cloquet, Esko, and Carlton taking on alumni from longtime rival Duluth East, the now annual event was a high-scoring affair, with the Lumberjacks coming out on top by a score of 14-9.

For more than a year, Carlton County has been commemorating the firestorm of 1918. There have been photographs and artifact displays, talks by historians, and readings of first-person accounts. And yet it can still be difficult to fathom just what life was like in the county that fall with a moonscape of ashes all around. It's what makes things eerie when the fire gets placed back in the news 100 years later, not as a historical marker but as a gruesome comparison to what is happening now in...
