AOC: Tim Walz’s Non-Weird Masculinity Is Driving Trump, Vance “Nuts”
Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez told Stephen Colbert on Thursday that Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is driving Donald Trump and J.D. Vance “nuts.” “I think that Trump and Vance, they think they have some kind of like, monopoly over masculinity,” Ocasio-Cortez said on The Late Show. The Republican nominees have been freaking out ever since Walz first called them “weird” a few weeks ago, and have responded by desperately attacking the Minnesota governor’s son, wife, military history, and governing record. “Walz has kinda shown up—he’s a football coach, he was the head of the gay-straight alliance as the football coach,” Ocasio-Cortez...

The old and the new
A couple of weeks ago, the Leech Lake Regatta sailed by our house for the 53rd time. Wow! Just think — 53 years. It is one of the oldest community celebrations on the lake. In 1971, John Elsenpeter was president of the Leech Lake Chamber of Commerce and he thought it would be a good idea to have a sailboat race on Leech Lake. John, however, was known as the president of the First National Bank in Walker — not as a sailor. So, he...

Two Harbors Council Calls for Special Meeting to Address Water Quality in Agate Bay
Last week, the Two Harbors City Council spent a significant part of their meeting talking about the viability of a plan by the Lake County Soil and Water Conservation District, to build a state of the art stormwater drainage system along the Agate Bay waterfront. The system was approved by the Council several years ago and would filter and remove pollutants including human E coli, pesticides and heavy metals from the waters of Agate Bay. The plan has been four years in the making and the Lake County SWCD has secured grant funding from the Environmental Protection Agency for $733,000, through an agreement orchestrated by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. When built, the drainage system would include a sediment collection structure and biochar filtering ditch that will insure that water in Agate Bay doesn’t pose a health risk for locals and tourists who use the beach and the bay for swimming, boating and fishing. To put it plainly, this project is central to all the other projects that are part of the ongoing work to revitalize the Two Harbors waterfront.
