- Superior Sun: Miracle on Main Street creates lasting yuletide memories for young and old alike
Its a great feeling at the annual Superior Optimist Club Miracle on Main Street Christmas Festival and Light Parade when everyone is out there just having fun together and waiting for Santa Claus. And someone says, "The parade is coming across 177 right now!" So everyone stops what they're doing and looks in the direction of the highway and sure enough, there it is, a fairytale procession of holiday lights strung on vehicles that are moving at a good rate of speed down the hill to the tune of a Superior Fire Department siren. The parade pauses at the top of Main until it's exactly 7 p.m. and to give folks time to find a good place to view the sparkling floats and get a good look at Santa. And that was the scenario that played out on Dec. 6 this year right on schedule at the 2008 Miracle on Main Street festival and parade with its theme of "A Christmas Story." full story at copperarea.com

- Miners, foes fight over project near Superior
Hit by the declining price of copper and slowing demand for the metal, Resolution Copper Co. is throttling back development of a huge and controversial mine near Superior.
But company officials still say they're maintaining a long-term commitment to the underground project, which could cost billions of dollars to develop before it opens in 2020.
"We take a long-term view," said Chief Executive David Salisbury. "The price of copper could rise and fall many times between now and 2020, so we're not overly concerned about the price of copper today."
Still, Salisbury said the company will be cutting back the number of contract employees working at the site. The exact number has not been determined, but it will be greater than 50, he said.
