The Minnesota WILD are just like butter! LINCOLN PARK Once again the WILD are on a roll! For the calendar week just concluded they went a solid 3-0. Of course, they weren’t facing all of the toplevel clubs in the show, but considering that anyone can beat anyone on a lot of nights, they have to be gratified with the results.
During the week of January 24-28th many students from the Minnehaha joined our Agate Cheerleading team for a fun filled week of stunts, sidelines and cheers. Our Agate cheerleaders shared their knowledge, skill and a love of cheerleading with their little counterparts.

Brand new to Lake County and sustainable farming, Lori and Shawn Amundson are making progress to achieve the impossible. They are working to grow oranges in the woods near Two Harbors. You read that right. They are planning to grow oranges. Few people have had a fresh citrus right off a tree up here.
As was reported in last week’s triumphant first edition of the Camp Shack News-Gazette-Chronicle- Post-Press-Weekly Standard, the top news stories of the week will be reported in this, the second edition, time permitting.
North Shore high school girls’ hockey captain Livia Hoff, one of the top players in northeastern Minnesota and a varsity regular since the eighth grade, has verbally committed to attend Concordia College in Moorhead in the fall.
Letters to the editor, columns, and cartoons are the opinions of the contributors and not necessarily the Lake County Press. While we encourage readers to submit letters to the editor on issues they feel strongly about, we encourage writers to be respectful to one another. Your message is more likely to be heard if it is delivered in a civil manner. We also ask that letters include name, address, and phone number. Anonymous submissions or letters of questionable credibility will not be published or acknowledged. The Lake County Press also asks that letters be no longer than 350 words; however, at the editor’s discretion, longer submissions may be published occasionally. All letters are subject to editing for length, clarity, and libelous content.
It feels appropriate to initiate a new paper with a discussion of bias. Media bias has always existed, and can significantly impact how much readers trust what they are reading–or if they even bother to read. And now I’m speaking as a reporter for the Lake County Press when I say that there are things that we can do to gain and keep your trust. One of the best ways for a news source to gain trust is to openly acknowledge its bias. In this spirit, I’m going to share with you my biases (from my biased perspective), which means sharing where I come from. This will allow you to take everything I write about with a certain levity–knowing that I am a finite, opinionated, well-intentioned human being.
Well, here we go with a second edition of the Lake County Press. Yes, there have been a few glitches in ordering subscriptions I’m told. And at last notice we were missing a bundle of papers for Knife River and our little office down at 629 1 Avenue in Two Harbors is still a bit spare. To add to the learning pains the burglar alarm in the enclosed entryway went off when we entered the building last Saturday to move some desks and get the space organized.
