WE SURVIVED NIGHT ONE OF THE FIRST WINTER WEATHER EVENT OF THE SEASON WITH JUST A DUSTING OF SNOW AND FREEZING RAIN, BUT IT DOES CONTINUE TODAY AND INTO TOMORROW, WITH TEMPERATURES SLIGHTLY COLDER AND WIND CONDITIONS THAT EXPECTED TO BE STRONGER.
DOCTORS SAY THEY EXPECT 31 YEAR OLD CODY LANDRUS, THE MAN SHOT IN THE HEAD IN OKLEE EARLY THIS WEEK, TO SURVIVE BUT FEAR PARALYSIS. LANDRUS WAS SHOT JUST ABOVE HIS EYE AT CLOSE RANGE BY OLIVER BERHOW, WHO DROVE FROM FERTILE SPECIFICALLY TO CARRY OUT THE ASSAULT. THE DISPUTE SEEMS TO REVOLVE AROUND THE FACT THAT BERHOW BELIEVED LANDRUS HAD STOLEN GUNS FROM HIM. POLICE HAD ALREADY CONDUCTED A SEARCH WARRANT AT LUNDRUS’ HOME, BUT FOUND NO EVIDENCE OF STOLEN PROPERTY.
THE OPENING WEEKEND NUMBERS ARE IN, AND MINNESOTA HUNTERS REGISTERED 58,730 WHITETAILS DURING THE FIRST TWO DAYS OF THE FIREARMS SEASON, DOWN 11% STATEWIDE. IN THE ZONES IN THE 100-SERIES PERMIT AREAS OF NORTHERN MINNESOTA, HARVEST WAS DOWN 20% FROM LAST YEAR. THAT’S ALL DESPITE THE FACT THAT THERE SEEMS TO BE THE SAME NUMBER OF HUNTERS, AS LICENSE SALES WERE ONLY DOWN 1%.
DOROTHY HENKE, THE ENTREPRENEUR BEHIND DOT’S HOMESTYLE PRETZELS HAS SIGNED ON THE DOTTED LINE. THE HERSHEY COMPANY ANNOUNCED THAT THEY WILL ACQUIRE THE BUSINESS FOR $1.2 BILLION. THEY NOTE THAT ALL EMPLOYEES AND IT’S NORTH DAKOTA HEADQUARTERS WILL REMAIN IN PLACE.
FOR THOSE AGED 12-17 WHO EITHER COMPLETED THEIR VACCINE SERIES OR GOT THEIR FIRST SHOT DATING BACK TO OCTOBER 18TH, THE REGISTRATION FORM IS NOW OPEN TO CLAIM YOUR $200 VISA GIFT CARD AS PART OF THE “KIDS DESERVE A SHOT” PROGRAM. WHEN REGISTERING, YOU’LL BECOME ELIGIBLE FOR WEEKLY DRAWINGS AND ALSO FOR THOSE WHO GOT THEIR VACCINES OUTSIDE THAT TIME FRAME, COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIPS ARE BEING OFFERED.
