NEED YOUR HELP......This weekend I am running the Arrowhead Tournament Invitational at the UMD Campus. This is a High School age basketball tournament. There are 16 talented teams that we have invited to the tournament from North Dakota, Canada, Wisconsin and Minnesota. Local teams are Duluth East and Duluth Denfeld. We are short staffed, and we are looking for basketball enthusiasts that would like to make a little extra money. We can pay $15/game Tournament is Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Work is divided into 4 game sessions, lasting about 4 hours. We need help with ticket takers, scorebooks, score clock, video broadcasting (just monitor camera), etc. There are a total of 32 games. 4 Friday night, then Saturday and Sunday. Take as much or as little work as you want. If you don't want to work the tournament, please come to the games and support teams. Message me if you have can help us out or with any questions. Thanks in advance for all you help........ Hugh

Howie: Duluth moved $695,000 in tourism decisions out of City Hall. Now the public deserves to see the scorecard.
If tourism funding is now driven by measurable return, then measurement should not stop at the application stage. Duluth should see which organizations applied, which received funding, how proposals scored against criteria, what outcomes were promised and what results were delivered one year later.
Howie: Why Pete Stauber keeps winning — and what it would actually take to beat him

Howie: The Wild found a bouncer. Now they need a sniper like Boeser.
If Kirill Kaprizov ever gets a true sniper riding shotgun -- Brock Boeser? -- the rest of the Western Conference might suddenly discover something Minnesota fans have suspected for a while now. The Wild are closer than they look.
Howie: What Duluth is really asking for in St. Paul this year
Duluth and St. Louis County are not asking for luxury investments. They are asking for help maintaining systems — water treatment plants, shoreline protection, waste management infrastructure — whose costs exceed what local taxpayers alone can reasonably sustain.
