She was already enmeshed in life’s responsibilities.Lee, 38, was the mother of three young children when, in perhaps the biggest gamble of her life, she made the move to Austin, Minn., from Minneapolis to launch her on-air news career.Now 13 years later, she is making another career move. Lee is heading to Duluth to become the main anchor of the NBC station in Duluth, Northern News Now.With her oldest child graduating from Rochester’s John Marshall High School this spring, Lee felt the time was right.“The decision may be a surprise to some, to be honest,” Lee said on Facebook. “It was a surprise to me, too. Duluth was my first choice more than a decade ago when I started my career as a reporter, but God took me to southern Minnesota. Now, God is taking me back there.”You started as an evening repo...

Cale Makar owns the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs the way Laurence Olivier owned the stage. He owns it the way Hank Williams owned the Grand Ole Opry, the way Flamma owned the Colosseum in Rome.King Cale’s appeared in 16 opening-round games since 2019. He’s won 15 of them. He’s put up 21 points in those games, or 1.31 per tilt. He’s got a plus/minus rating of plus-12.Whether it’s a pass that defies logic or a screamer of a goal that ends a game in overtime, this round is his canvas, his dais. His moment.“I’d say I’m as close (to 100%) as I can be right now,” Makar, Colorado’s all-world defender, told the media scrum Monday at Ball Arena, on the eve of Colorado-Kraken Game 1. “So I’m feeling good.

OAKLAND — At 10 games under .500 with the hope of avoiding their sixth straight losing series, it’s not as if the Athletics show up to the park expecting good things to happen.So perhaps it wasn’t all that surprising Monday night when it was learned right-handed pitcher Paul Blackburn, the A’s lone participant in the 2022 All-Star Game, had a setback in his rehab because of a blister incurred while pitching for Triple-A Las Vegas.“Well, we have another finger issue to talk about,” A’s manager Mark Kotsay said before the A’s began a three-game series against the Chicago Cubs at the Coliseum. “He’s got a blister on his middle finger and we’re treating it and hopefully it’s only a few days. But it does put his next start in question.”Of course, that’s the best-case scenario. And “best case” isn’t a scenario that has been seen often with the A’s at 3-13 and having lost each of the...
