Question: Hello, can a person who is working for a farmer during harvest driving a semi (no CDL) cross a state line (North Dakota and Minnesota)? Answer: Yes, as long as they stay within 150 air miles of the farm. With harvest season upon us, it’s a good time to remind everyone about sharing the roads.
To the editor, Minnesota’s largest police association, representing over 10,000 rank and file law enforcement officers, enthusiastically supports Andrea Zupancich for Senate. She will always promote public safety proposals that keep communities safe. Rising crime is a statewide problem, and we MUST restore public safety in our communities. That starts with respecting police as partners and holding violent criminals accountable. Zupancich will make sure our public safety officials have the support, resources, and policies that provide for a safer, stronger community for everyone.

Did you know that in the United States, forty million acres of land are devoted to lawns and that we spend $30 billion each year on lawn care? Lawns are the single largest irrigated crop we grow! Ninety million pounds of fertilizer and 78 million pounds of pesticides are put on our lawns each year. As summer wraps up, you may think your lawn care duties are done until after winter, however, fall is actually the ideal season to prepare your lawn for the months ahead. Taking the time to clean up your yard this fall will reward you with a greener lawn come springtime. Fall yard work is all about helping your lawn finish strong so that it can withstand the bitter temperatures ahead. Fall’s cooler temperatures and morning dew provide the perfect setting to fertilize your lawn and let grass regain its strength after the summer heat. Once the season draws to a close and the temperature begins to drop, you should set your mower’s blades to their lowest setting for the last two cuts of the season. This will allow more sunlight to reach the crown of the grass and help the soil dry out faster in the spring. To rake or not to rake in the fall may depend upon your personal outlook. The benefits of raking are it will eliminate thatch build-up, you will get plenty of exercise and fresh air, and it will give your lawn that nice, neat look.
Jeremiah Johnston Kay-Nah-Chi-Wah-Nung Center – some of you may know what it is or where it is, some of you have visited but I strongly suspect most have not and I’m pretty sure that Jeremiah Johnston didn’t ever contemplate about its future history, nor had vision of his part in it because he was born Nov. 20, 1860 at St.
Trade paperback books are seeing a resurgence in popularity by publishers. They are more willing to take a chance on a new, unproven author as their commitment in terms of expenses to produce the book are less. Here are six new titles that all looked intriguing. I’ve been reading about this title for months now and am excited to have a copy of “One Woman’s War” by Christine Wells. It is a novel of the real Miss Moneypenny who worked with Ian Fleming in World War II. Ms. Bennett is offered the chance to work as an agent in the field and encounters another strong woman who on the surface is also working for British intelligence. Women spies definitely seem to be a hot topic at the moment as “That Summer in Berlin” by Lecia Cornwall is also about an English spy. This time set in Germany during the 1936 Berlin Olympics. Viviane is in Berlin with her trusty Leica camera to get evidence that Germany is rearming. Books about the book world are always fun. “Thank you for Listening” by Julia Whelan is about an audiobook narrator who had dreamed of being a star of film, but only found success in the sound booth. She is even able to attend book conventions and meet fans and is asked to perform the last book of a beloved romance author with the industry’s hottest, most secretive voice. Secrets and of course, their revelation abound in this funny, sexy and complex love story. I love behind the scenes exposes and this should be a fun, light read.
Over $600 in cash money and 1,708 pounds of food was collected in eight hours in the blue and white Arrowhead Transit bus staged outside of the Super One grocery store. The bus was being used as a large shopping cart, to which store customers were encouraged to contribute food items. The fundraiser, called “Stuff a Bus,” was held to benefit the Falls Hunger Coalition Food Shelf. Pam Smith, Arrowhead Transit’s marketing and public relations coordinator, approached Coalition Director Nancy Anderson with the idea for the fundraiser. Anderson said, “Arrowhead Transit laid the groundwork, recruited sponsors – everything. And we were so appreciative. It came at a great time for the food shelf.” Anderson said this summer was very lean in terms of monetary and food donations 25 years ago The fate of developer Tim Gable’s proposed multi million-dollar complex may hinge on the opinions of 130 voters. That’s what Ranier City Council members told Gable and his associates after a fast-paced presentation at Monday’s council meeting. Ranier Mayor Dave Trompeter informed the developer that ultimately a liquor referendum vote may decide the issue. A proposed, the new Best Western Sand Bay Inn and Conference Center design calls for: three stories, more than 80 suites, a conference center, two bars and two restaurants, among other features. Gable outlined plans to develop the facility on Sam Woods’ property on Highway 11 East, behind the statue known as “Big Vic.”
