It is 17 below and the sun is shining. We have had a wicked taste of winter this past week between the snow, its blowing so that the visibility was almost nil, making travel hard, and the extremely cold temperatures. It hasn’t been picnic weather by any means. Spring is scheduled to come. We just have to be patient.

City of Oklee appointed Dan Sandoval as the new council person for Kelly Brekke’s vacated position.

Covid numbers are starting to go up fast especially in Pennington County.

R.E.D Friday was created to remind people of our heroes overseas and show that we are thinking of them. People across the country wear red every Friday to serve as a reminder and spread the message of how important it is that we keep our troops in our thoughts. In the Red Lake County Central High School, Mr. Steven Strutz likes to promote the Day of Red. He’s been wearing red every Friday since around 2011. He believes that it is important that students, teachers, and other communities all wear red on Friday to remember the soldiers overseas.

We endured the past week. The coldest part of this winter so far, and it was bone chilling cold for at least 5 days below zero. The sun was shining though and it made it look like it was such a nice day outside but stick your nose out of the door and burrrrr!

Pennington ranked #1 County for positive covid-19 cases this week.

December’s Student of the Month at Red Lake County Central High School was Morgan Plante who was nominated by Mrs. Aakhus and Ruben Osborn who was nominated by Ms. Hamrum.

The weather is getting warmer and it almost feels like a heat wave after the below zero temperatures we have experienced for the last week or so.

The pipeline workers continued working during the cold temperatures. Red River Ag C-Store has been very busy with pipeliners coming in for food.
