Documentary revisits 1963 Cloquet-Marshall basketball classic

Admission is free, with donations accepted to benefit the Second Harvest Food Bank and the Cloquet Educational Foundation.

The world premiere of a documentary on the historic 1963 Cloquet vs. Marshall basketball game will be shown at 6 p.m. Sunday at the Cloquet High School Auditorium.

The film was completed by Howard Lavick, a Cloquet graduate and longtime filmmaker who lives in Oregon. Lavick, the son of the late Rod Lavick, who operated a furniture business in Cloquet, returned to his hometown roots for the project.

Former Cloquet coach Ben Trochill, now in his 90s, is expected to attend and take part in a post-film question-and-answer session. Several players from the 1963 team are also scheduled to appear.

Admission is free, with donations accepted to benefit the Second Harvest Food Bank and the Cloquet Educational Foundation.

Howie: AF1 CEO Kurz bullish about Duluth franchise, DECC Arena

Jerry Kurz on the Monsters: “Very strong franchise. We’re very selective. I get calls every week from people who want to join. But we have to be sure they’re giving something back to the community. Jake (Lambert, owner) and Steve (Walters, general manager and minority owner) want that."

Howie: The city budget they don't want you to understand

Local Government Aid alone covers nearly $35 million, about one-third of the budget. It’s the difference between black ink and red. Lose even 5 percent of that aid, and Duluth’s “balanced” budget implodes by millions. That’s not financial strength — that’s dependence disguised as stability.
