IRONWOOD - Hurley utilized its size advantage and held Ironwood's shooters in check to beat its rival 56-34 Friday night.

The Red Devils didn't have an answer for Hurley's bigs, especially James Sukanen, who scored 22 points. Ironwood had hoped to shoot well to help combat that deficiency, but they shot just 27 percent from...
HURLEY — Members of the Iron County Regional Trail Committee got some good news Thursday as they were informed the group’s Coastal Management Grant had cleared an initial hurdle and is one step closer to being funded. In October, the county applied for a grant to fund research into the ownership of the former Soo Line rail grade that proponents want to use to expand the county’s trail system. The grant application called for $25,000, with $25,000 in local matching funds. Determining the ownership of the land running through the county and i...

By RICHARD JENKINS [email protected] HURLEY — The saga of Gogebic-Taconite’s efforts to develop a mine site near Upson, Wis., has come to an apparent end after the company failed to make a necessary payment to Iron County to preserve the company’s lease option on county land adjacent to the proposed mine site. “They never sent the payment in for the next year ... so at this time I would say it’s probably a dead issue,” Iron County Board Chairman Joe Pinardi told the Daily Globe Tuesday. “The G-Tac saga is over as we speak because...
By RALPH ANSAMI [email protected] IRONWOOD — The sounds of plow trucks and snowblowers continued in Ironwood on Wednesday afternoon as the Gogebic Range was digging out from more than a foot of snow. Although the lake-effect snow was light, heavy drifting from north winds and temperatures in the 20s made driving treacherous. Area schools canceled classes as the snow picked up overnight and the drifting made it difficult for the plow crews to keep up with the storm. Most governmental meetings and social organization activities s...
