Years ago when I directed a church high school singing group called One Accord, I set high, yet attainable expectations for these young people. My theory was if you didn’t expect much from an individual that might be exactly what they would produce.

Have you heard about the new pipeline projects being developed in southwest and west central Minnesota? If you haven’t, you’re not alone. Even Minnesotans who live, work, and own land in the communities where these pipelines will cross are just beginning to hear about them in drips and drops—maybe in a brief mention in the local paper or a bullet-point item in the minutes of a county board meeting. Or maybe you’ve heard the rumblings from farmers and communities on the other side of the Minnesota-Iowa border where resistance to these projects is growing. There are currently two pipeline projects on the horizon in Minnesota—one by Ames-based Summit Carbon Solutions called the Midwest Carbon Express and the other by Texas-based Navigator CO2 Ventures called the Heartland Greenway.
