How-to find Two Harbors public access TV online
The link to viewing Two Harbors city meetings live stream and on demand is live on the city’s website. However, finding that link is not intuitive. Here are some directions for finding your way to a resource for understanding what is happening in Two Harbors government.
Letters to the editor
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 Anonymous submissions or letters of questionable credibility will not be published or acknowledged.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. Letters can be submitted to editor@lakecountypress.news.
The Reluctant Editor
Oh, to be a capitalist, a free market capitalist, in the industrial grade food business. My generation has been the guinea pig for the industrial food industry and perhaps our declining life span is a result.
THHS volleyball season wraps with exciting finish
The Two Harbors Agates finished their volleyball season with an exciting match vs. Cromwell! The community was on their feet as the agates finished their first set, winning 32- 30. The girls recognized when they needed to adjust, and we as coaches were excited because of our athletes' excitement on our court. Although we took a loss overall, it was a great way to end our season.
Building Business in Lake County
The first in an anticipated series of meetings bringing together the business community of Lake County was held on Monday in the form of a Manufacturing Summit. Sponsored by LaBounty Manufacturing and held at Superior Shores, the event was intended to have conversations about mutual needs, and brainstorm ways to work together to meet them.

A lot of people are feeling hopeless these days. In fact it almost seems like hopelessness is an accepted “way of being,” given “the facts.” If you get pleasure from feeling hopeless and, given the alternative, prefer to stay in a place of hopelessness, then I respect that and leave you to your own devices. If you would like to wake up in the morning with purpose, find delight in your interactions with others, and build your immunity to despair and discouragement, read on.

Masked Fan Speaks
Minnesota WILD: too early for panic? The Minnesota WILD have commenced their 2022-23 season and did so with a major thud. In the opener in St. Paul, the WILD met the NY Rangers and got thumped in a 7-3 reminder that the games all count now. And Saturday eve the LA Kings and former WILD star Kevin Fiala came into the Xcel Center and bested the boys 7-6. Various social media sites relative to hockey and the team were lit up like pinball machines. And as always, reader and guest comment was consistent. There are those that have a casual interest in the team, then the bulk of the commentary is from fans that know the team and the game and understand the nuance of what is going on.
Runoff Report
Editor's note: God and Company were still attempting to break camp for the monumental return north of the Great March for Community Newspapers. That final going away party there in the little Carlton County communities of Nickerson, Duquette, Kerrick and Bruno had been a doozy, full of much rum and rhumba and praying to false gods. Yes, the movement north to occupy the shuttered Northshore Mine in Babbitt and taconite plant, railroad and ore docks in Silver Bay was taking its sweet time to get organized even though God was brewing the coffee, coffee like no one had ever brewed before. The matter of occupation had reminded the reluctant editor of a previous and still ongoing occupation as was reported in the Camp Shack News-Gazette-Chronicle-Post-Press-Weekly Standard back int the fall of 2011. It reads like this: The Occupy Camp Shack movement began in earnest recently, only two weeks before the opening of deer season. The protesters, mired in the 90 percent of the population that controls a mere 27 percent of the wealth, indicated it was their intention to stay at deer camp until their many grievances were heard. We at Camp Shack certainly were sympathetic, also mired in the 90 percent of the population that controls a mere 27 percent of the wealth and getting older by the day on top of it. With the recent addition of the ample and airy bunkhouse and levitation center there was plenty of room for all. Bring on the grievances great and small. No better time to contemplate grievances than during deer season when guns are toted about with Second Amendment glee, rum is poured and fairness is once again preferred in our Great Democracy. Mantras were handed out with every hand warmer and complimentary pair of wool socks. The Exalted Shack Master ordered the shack witch doctor to bless the bullets of the protesters who joined the hunt and would soon be heading out to their stands deep in the Lake County woods, miles from the nearest hint of civilization or even an educate
