Greg Hexum travels many trails
When Esko’s Greg Hexum hit the trail at the recent Book Across the Bay snowshoe race, it was with the sort of steely intensity that overtakes an athlete in pursuit of his sport. However, as he plunged through the night, he began to enter a dimension that transcended all the hard work and exertion.

Willard and Martha Maki are on a roll
Willard Maki is the king of the one-liners (or two- or three- or four-).
“I’m always ready with a joke or two,” he admitted….
“When Martha and I got married, the pastor asked if it was a double ring ceremony, and I was ready to fly the coop because I thought he was going to put a ring in my nose!”

Cloquet Ski Club is growing under the watchful (and joyful) direction of Pat Marciniak and Ken Ripp
At 2 p.m. most Sunday afternoons during winter, the outer walls of the ski chalet at Pine Valley suddenly sprout multiple pairs of skis and poles. Inside, mostly children and teenagers sit around the tables in warm (but not too warm) winter clothes, waiting to hit the myriad of cross country ski trails that loop around the wooded hilly park.

Dorine Houck shares her talents ‘the united way’
On the very day when local thermometers dropped to 17 degrees below zero, Dorine Houck waded out into ankle-deep snow to raise the “heat” on another thermometer. As new executive director of the Carlton County United Way, Houck was exceptionally pleased to add a couple of new “degrees” to the agency’s giant thermometer in Cloquet’s Fauley Park, which means the totals for the 2010-11 campaign year had kicked up another notch.
