Letter to the Editor
Letter to the Editor A recent opinion column took me to task a bit about blaming the media for using my title of “Mayor” when I was speaking in regard to the proposed transfer of ownership of Upper Sioux Agency State Park from the public (the State of Minnesota) to the Upper Sioux Community. In fact, I did say that the several media outlets had identified my views as coming from the “Mayor”, despite that I did not use that title when speaking.

River Ramblings…
Thankfully, the Minnesota River appears to have crested and barring a major rain event, the river will continue to slowly subside in elevation. The crest, occurring early last week, reached 890.6 feet above sea level, as measured by the US Geological Service at the Highway 212 bridge. The National Weather Service uses those measurements to forecast river elevations during high-flow times and keeps records of the past river crests here.

Ask a Trooper
Question: My husband always used to say “never use your cruise control during any rain”. Is that still true with advances on tires and technology? Answer: He is correct, cruise control should never be used on wet or icy roadways.
