Howie’s Sports Notebook

by Howie Hanson Two Harbors scored 21 unanswered fourth-quarter points enroute to a 28-6 home victory over Barnum in a nonconference high school football opener for both teams last Friday night. Agates running back Kyler Pitkanen rushed for 170 yards on 19 carries -- for an 8.9 yards per-attempt average -- to physically soften a 1A Bombers’ defense that wore down late in the second half. The Class 3A Agates scored two rushing touchdowns, threw for another and Trent Gomez returned an interception 90 yards for a highlight-reel score.

VIKING SHIP MOVE TO KNIFE RIVER IS HISTORIC EVENT

History is made every day, and with the decision to relocate the Viking ship LEIF ERIKSON to Knife River (KR), a historic moment has taken place, not only for KR, but the North Shore as well. For KR, it is perhaps the most significant event since Crown Prince Olav of Norway Christened fish tug CRUSADER II in June of 1939. The ship has been mostly out of public view, and perhaps out of mind for almost 30 years, therefore… … a refresher of the ship’s history is in order: The LEIF ERIKSON ship was built in Korgen, Norway, by local boat builders to replicate the type of ship sailed, and the route thought taken, by Vikings in their settlement of North America around 997 A.D. The 43-foot vessel was completed in April of 1926. Captain Gerhard Følgero and his crew of three left Bergen, Norway, for North America on May 23rd of the same year.

The Reluctant Editor

We were recently visiting family in Michigan, and I saw an interesting front page story in the Detroit News. It was about a guy who is running for state attorney general who told a crowd that he had a secret lab where he would show he could manipulate election equipment to prove that there was election fraud in 2020.
