Project in Lake Superior seeks to find and better understand mysterious cosmic particles

The bottom of Lake Superior will be the latest laboratory for researchers hoping to learn more about neutrinos — also known as ghost particles. Neutrinos are tiny cosmic particles that have no electric charge, and they’re famously hard to find because of their extremely small mass. Despite that, they’re among the most abundant particles in the universe. They are called ghost particles because trillions of them move through people every second without interacting with them, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.

Penny pinching seniors need your help

HIBBING—The Hibbing Tourist/Senior Center is in need of pennies for its “Penny Pincher” machine and is asking for the public’s help. Donations of pennies dated 1982 and older are needed to make pressed pennies. “Pennies made in 1982 or older are easier to press through the machine,” Abby King, Tourist Center Director explained. King went on to say that the earlier pennies are made of 95% copper and are easier to flatten. Newer pennies are of a mixed metal, including zinc and are subject to cracking when pressed, she noted. For a 25 cent donation, one can get a penny that’s been “pinched” as a souvenir. The minimal proceeds go toward supporting senior programming at the center. The Penny Pincher machine was recently moved from its previous location at the Hibbing Tourist Center on Howard Street to the Mineview. King said she’s unsure exactly how old the machine is, but it’s quite popular. People continue to mail quarters to the center, requesting pressed pennies in return, she said. Donations of 1982 or older pennies can be dropped of at the Hibbing/Tourist Senior Center between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. Monday through Friday. For questions or more information, you can call

Remembering Hibbing, Chisholm World War II centenarians

HIBBING/CHISHOLM—On this Veterans Day 2026, thoughts turn to World War II, which ended 81 years ago. About 16.4 million Americans served in the armed forces during World War II. Fewer than 0.2% of those original service members—approximately 30,607 American World War II veterans—are still living. Six years ago, it was my distinct privilege to interview then-99-year-old Joseph Berklich at his home in Hibbing. He lived to age 101, and his Chisholm friend William Loushine lived to age 102. — William “Bill” Loushine was born on February 3, 1921, and died on February 26, 2023, in Chisholm. He was 102. Joseph “Joe” Berklich was born on February 24, 1921, and died on May 31, 2022, at his home in Hibbing. He was 101. — In 2023, someone shared these heartfelt words on the Rupp Funeral Home website: “God bless you, Mr. Loushine! You were a great person.” The words were in tribute to William “Bill” Loushine, age 102, lifelong resident of Chisholm, who died February 26, 2023. Mr. Loushine had lived more than a century, and his mind remained active until God called him home. A year earlier, another shared these words on the Dougherty Funeral Home website in tribute to

Chisholm Council hears concerns during working session

CHISHOLM—An estimated 60 people, including some members of the fire department and ambulance service, gathered at the Chisholm Senior Center this past Tuesday for a working session of the Chisholm City Council. “I would anticipate a few recommendations from staff at our next meeting,” City Administrator Ryan Pervenanze wrote in an email on Wednesday. “I think there are many areas of agreement with the council with most the important being their commitment to public safety as a whole.” “Over the next week or so I’ll work with our EMS Director and Fire Chief as well as the council to develop a path forward,” he added. The meeting was called at the October 28 regular council meeting, when the council tabled three potential resolutions to address a recommendation from McGrath Consulting that would prohibit any city employee, including part-time, volunteer to serve as an elected official. McGrath, in its report, categorized the adoption of such an ordinance as a Priority 1 recommendation, and identifies concerns regarding council oversight, supervision, perceived favoritism, and unconscious bias. Much of the discussion on Tuesday wasn’t centered around that recommendation, although feedback from those who directly addressed it appeared to question the logic behind the recommendation.

Chisholm volleyball falls 3-0 in state quarterfinals

ST. PAUL—The Chisholm volleyball team couldn’t find their footing in their Class A State Tournament opener on Thursday as the No. 5 Bluestreaks fell to No. 4 Sacred Heart 3-0 (25-13, 25-21, 26-24). With the loss, Chisholm falls to the consolation bracket where they’ll take on Pine River-Backus on Friday in St. Paul. The Bluestreaks trailed early in the first set and never truly found a way to cut into the Eagles lead. Sacred Heart opened the set with back-to-back kills from Lydia Riskey and Bryn Stevens while Chisholm benefited from some early hitting errors, not scoring their own kill until setter Hennessy Temple got one over to make it a 5-3 game in favor of the Eagles. A kill from Stevens and back-to-back aces from Stevens stifled any Chisholm potential and Sacred Heart continued to score at a two-to-one clip until Bluestreaks coach Pam Pioske took her first timeout with her team trailing 10-5. That scoring ratio never let up for the rest of the set as the Eagles hit at a .278 hitting percentage on their way to the 25-13 win. Riskey and fellow hitter Alexis Lawrence secured four kills apiece for Sacred Heart. Chisholm came out much
