The Esko boys basketball team rode a big first half from Nick Swanson, solid defense and depth to a 78-36 win over South Ridge Friday night in Esko.

"It was a big crowd and a great...
It was bitterly cold and blustery on the first Tuesday in February in a big statewide election year as the political party faithful held caucuses here and across the state. Precinct tables for all of the county were set up at the Four Seasons Sports Complex and Event Center in Carlton, where Republican organizers were gleefully surprised by a turnout of about 125 people. They were busy early on setting up new tables for the people who just kept coming into the upstairs room with windows...

While businesses sweat out a pending Supreme Court decision on Covid-19 vaccine mandates, the Wrenshall school board found and took advantage of a loophole Monday night. At its first regular meeting of the year, board members voted to not include themselves as employees of the district, putting it below the 100-employee threshold for the mandate called for by President Joe Biden. Before Monday, Wrenshall’s employee count was 101. The Minnesota School Boards Association has been prepping districts across the state to put policies in place...

The battle for the Brown Jug between the Carlton and Wrenshall girls basketball teams is always a fun night. The atmosphere is loud and raucous, and the intensity is always at a fever pitch.

"It really doesn't matter what the records for each team are, or whether they are having a good season or a season where they are struggling," said Carlton coach Brian Hey. "It's the game...

At a recent Carlton County Board of Commissioners meeting, one member asked the audience, “What do farmers actually do in the winter?” While I was initially a taken aback by the question — being married to a farmer I see firsthand the amount of work that goes into running an operation — I decided that I should treat the query as curiosity rather than dismiss it as woeful ignorance. In our household, my husband cuts back to about 50 or 60 hours a week versus the 80 he spends during the growing...
After a rough, Covid-19- pandemic-ridden 2020, the year 2021 was destined to be better, right? Well, the jury hasn’t reached a decision yet. There were highs and lows, as the pandemic continued to alter life as we knew it before 2020. There’s a vaccine, which has helped ease the naked fear of contracting the virus. There has been mostly in-person learning this school year and many of the events around schools are back to normal. Cities held modified annual celebrations. But Covid spikes continue, with infections breaking records even now, so...
