HURLEY — Hurley isn’t going to find much sympathy for all of the losses it suffered through graduation. And the Midgets probably won’t need it. The Midgets’ all-time leading rusher, Jarret Rhenlund, graduated. So did Grant Innes, Mike Henning and David Mathias, all special award winners in the Great Western Conference. But ... Six players return for their third year as a starter. It may be the biggest Hurley has been up front and, somehow, the backfield looks as hard as ever to stop. The Mid... Full story
A month after acknowledging only that he made “mistakes,” Ryan Braun admitted taking performance-enhancing drugs during his NL MVP season of 2011.

To the Editor: I attended the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources public hearing on Aug. 15 in Hurley regarding Gogebic Taconite’s request for bulk sampling and pre-application notice for a mining permit. I take exception with the Daily Globe’s front-page article on Aug. 16, “Many residents oppose Gogebic Taconite mine.” Between the hours of 10 a.m. and noon, I believe only two speakers actually resided in Iron County. The vast majority of speakers were from out of town or county, and many were from out of state. One speaker was even fr... Full story
