The Casey Jones State Trail: From a bike’s-eye view

I learned to ride a bike on a hand-medown boy’s Schwinn. The vinyl banana seat was torn and the front tire was out of alignment, but I rode it all around Jasper until the spring of 1975, when I laid eyes on a blue five-speed Raleigh in the window of Frackman’s Hardware. It even had a front head lamp! I had a little money saved from working at my dad’s grocery store, so I struck a deal at the store: $30 dollars down and $5 a week until it was paid off.

Landowners express concern as Summit Carbon Solutions submits CO2 pipeline route permit application

Earlier this month, Iowa-based Summit Carbon Solutions (Summit) submitted its first route permit application to the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission (PUC) for the Otter Tail and Wilkin Counties section of its proposed Midwest Carbon Express CO2 pipeline network in Minnesota. This leg of the project is 28.1 miles, a small fraction of the more than 212 miles of highly pressurized hazardous liquid CO2 pipeline proposed for Minnesota. Submitting a permit application to the PUC is one of many steps Summit needs to take before they can begin the construction of any CO2 pipelines in Minnesota. Summit’s proposed CO2 pipeline network will cut through Chippewa, Cottonwood, Jackson, Kandiyohi, Martin, Otter Tail, Redwood, Renville, Wilkin, and Yellow Medicine Counties.
