RYAN BAKKEN: A weekend to hunker in the bunker 
Friday afternoon, I rushed home from work to beat the combination of Snowmageddon, Icemageddon and Whiteoutmageddon.

RYAN BAKKEN: Sacrifice of Newtown’s teachers should be more than a footnote
It’s only natural to mourn for the children, with their innocence, vulnerability and promise. It’s impossible to grieve too much for them.

Santa Claus now has a helper — or spy — for determining who’s been naughty or nice. The tattletale is an elf. More precisely, it’s Elf on a Shelf, which retails for about $30.

RYAN BAKKEN: A town with no Twinkies
With speculation percolating that Twinkies might become extinct, I hunted for the leading stereotype of junk food. Alas, after stops at 10 grocery and convenience stores, I couldn’t find a single Twinkie in Grand Forks/East Grand Forks.
