Last month, the Two Rivers Watershed in Roseau and Kittson County went through some fall flooding, and the area is still seeing some of its ramifications. Dan Money of the Two Rivers watershed tells us what caused this flooding.

While the flooding was minor, Money says there were some things in the district that were affected, including the fall harvest, and construction.

Money says they will also be closely monitoring winter conditions this year, as fall flooding could be a sign of more to come in the spring.

Our full conversation with Dan Money:

Northwest Minnesota has been able to avoid snowfall so far, but we won’t be able to avoid it forever. While we wait for snow, Tina Sanders of Safe Kids Grand Forks says now is a perfect time to put together a Winter Survival Kit, and she highlights some of the items you should include in it.

At Baudette City Council’s November meeting, Mayor Hancharyk and Councilman Nelson met with county officials and Sheriff Gary Fish regarding a new law enforcement coverage agreement. The city and county reached a proposed agreement for 30 hours of coverage per week, resulting in a 52% cost reduction compared to the previous arrangement.

“It’s less for less,” Nelson said, noting that the revised contract provides fewer hours at a lower cost. The 2026 sheriff’s contract will cover 30 hours of weekly patrol service, with open communication encouraged between city staff and the Lake of the Woods County Sheriff’s Office regarding ordinance enforcement.

The council approved the new one-year contract, replacing the previous three-year term

In closing, Mayor Hancharyk noted that the change will help the city’s budgeting efforts and ensure continued law enforcement coverage within the community.
