The Cook County High School Band recently returned from a special trip to Memphis, Tennessee and Orlando, Florida.

With April rapidly reaching its half way point, the boundary country weather has leveled off into being more typical.

This first weekend in April finds the north woods celebrating the full pink maple sugar moon.

Now that March is in the record books, it's not surprising that this March was officially the warmest since records have been kept.

As the northland wraps up an unusual March, there has been a lot of speculation and excitement about ice-out on upper trail lakes.

Joe Duffy has spent the better part of his 70 some years fishing on the Big Lake.

The ice left Sawbill Lake on Tuesday, March 27. This is the earliest ice-out date since records started being kept back in the 1930s.

The National Park Service has begun an internal review of the wolf population and wildlife dynamics on Isle Royale.

Fond du Lac elder Rick DeFoe gave a brief interview while attending an anti-sulfide mining rally in Duluth, Minneosta in March of 2012, for this edition of Anishinaabe Way. 

He discusses the role of tribes in protecting clean water, including children in such activities, and talks about the importance of eagles to Anishinaabe people. 
 

Thank you to all the candidates who ran for office in the recent township elections in Schroeder, Tofte and Lutsen.
