LET'S GET STARTED WITH THE HEADLINES.

JULIE: MILD WEATHER IS HOLG BACK THE ICE FISHING SEASON THE MINNESOTA DNR, URGING ANGLERS TO USE EXTRA CAUTIN BEFORE HEADING OUT ON FROZN LAKES.

ICE IS NEVER 100% SAFE SO U SHOULD ALWAYS WEAR LIFE JAT OR FLOAT CODE WHEN YOU VENE ONTO THE ICE.

ICE SHOULD BE AT LEAST FOUR INCHES THICK TO BE SAFER WG AND FIVE TO SEVEN INCHES TK FOR SNOWMOBILE.

IT'S ADVISED YOU CARRY AN E PICK AND CHECK ICE THICKNES FREQUENTLY.

DENNIS: THE NUMBER OF DEER HARVESTED DURING WISCONSI'S FIREARMS HUNTING SEASON WAN MORE THAN 17% FROM LAST YE.

IN THE NORTHERN FOREST HUNG ZONE, 15% FEWER BUCKS AND % DEER WERE ESTED.

JULIE: DULUTH WILL HAVE A W MAYOR IN ONE MONTH AS VOTES ELECTED A NEW CITY LEADER N NOVEMBER.

THE CAMPAIGN SIGNS HAVE BEN COLLECTED AND DOORKNOCKINGS BEHIND.

THE REAL HARDWARE BEGINS N. HERE TO JOIN US TO TALK ABT THE CAMPAIGN IS ROGER REIN.

MAYOR ELECT, CONGRATULATIO.

>> THANKS FOR HAVING ME.

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR SON RETIREMENT.

JULIE: I'M EXCITED ABOUT TT TOO.

OUT WITH THE OLD AND IN WIE NEW.

ANYWAY, LET'S TALK ABOUT TE CAMPAIGN.

WHAT YOU THINK ARE SOME OFE FACTORS THAT SET YOU APARTD GAVE YOU AN EDGE.

>> THERE WERE A COUPLE THIT PLAY.

FOLKS WERE READY FOR SOMETG DIFFERENT.

THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT WED FROM ONE END OF THE COMMUNY TOGETHER.

SOMETIMES PEOPLE WOULD SAYT DIFFERENTLY.

IT MIGHT BE ABOUT, A THIRDM IS TOO MUCH.

SOME FOLKS HAD SPECIFIC ISS THAT THEY WERE CONCERNED A.

FOR ME, IT WAS A SENSE THAY WANTED TO SEE THE COMMUNITD IT IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTIO.

WE HADN'T HAD A CONTESTED R ELECTION SINCE 2007.

AS I DID MY HOMEWORK TO THK ABOUT IN CALLED TO THIS, I LOOKED AT THAT HISTORY.

TWO THIRDS OF THE LUCIAN'S DIDN'T EVEN VOTE IN MAYORAL ELECTIONS.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I'M INCREDIBLY PROUD OF IS THAE SAW OVA 54% VOTER TURNOUT.

SOME STATES IN PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS DON'T SEE THAT'S- THAT KIND OF TURNOUT.

DENNIS: WHAT WAS IT LIKE TG THE TEAM TOGETHER?

>> FOLKS ALWAYS ASK, WHEREO YOUR HANDS SHOW UP?

ALL THE DEPARTMENT DIRECTOE MAYORAL APPOINTEES.

THE POLICE CHIEF, THE FIRE CHIEF, THE HUMAN RIGHTS OF, THE CITY ATTORNEY.

THE MAYOR ALSO HAS TWO STAF THAT DIRECTLY WORK WITH TH.

A COMMUNICATIONS PERSON ASL AS A COMMUNITY OUTREACH OF.

I'VE BEEN BUSY.

JULIE AND I WERE CHATTING E THE SHOW.

I STILL HAVE MY OTHER JOBST PEOPLE ARE PAYING ME FOR.

I'VE BEEN BUSY JUST GETTINA CHANCE TO SIT WITH MANY OFE FOLKS ONE-ON-ONE AND MAKE E EVALUATIONS.

WHO ARE THE RIGHT FOLKS TON THE TEAM TO JOIN ME AS WE E FORWARD AFTER JANUARY 2?

JULIE: YOU SERVED ON THE DH CITY COUNCIL YEARS AGO.

DOES THAT FAMILIARITY WITHE DEPARTMENTS AND THE PROCEDS IN THE CITY HELP YOU AS YOT THINGS TOGETHER?

>> I THINK SO.

IT'S NOT EXACTLY THE SAME E SAME AS WHEN I WAS IN THE LEGISLATURE.

DEFINITELY THE PROCESS IS FAMILI THE RHYTHMS ARE FAMILIAR.

COMING OFF THE COUNCIL, I K I HAVE A RESPECT FOR THE RS THAT THE COUNCIL PLAYS.

IT'S LIKE CONGRESS TO THE PRESIDENT AT THE LOCAL LEV.

SO I'VE ALSO STARTED MEETIG WITH COUNSELORS ONE-ON-ONET TO BUILD THAT RELATIONSHIPK ABOUT WHAT THEIR AGENDA ISN 2024, WHAT MY INTERESTS AR, WHERE WE SEE LOEB -- OVERL.

COMMUNICATION AND BEING HOT ABOUT THOSE THINGS IS A GRT WAY FOR US TO START.

DENNIS: DO YOU HAVE ANY INL GOALS?

>> THAT FIRST 100 SEEMS LIA MAGIC NUMBER.

AS I'VE MET WITH THOSE CITY CURRENT CITY STAFF LEADER'E SAID TWO THINGS.

NUMBER ONE, WHEN I'M IN OF, THE FIRST WEEK IS GOING TOE SPENT CIRCLING BACK TO THOE FOLKS.

I WANT YOU TO TALK TO ME AA COUPLE WINS IN THE AREA THI CAN GET OUT OF THE GATE RIT AWAY THAT SHOW THE COMMUNIE HEARD THESE ISSUES DURING E CAMPAIGN.

WE WANT THE CITY TO DO CITY THINGS AGAIN, FOCUS ON CORY SERVICES.

WE WANT TO DEMONSTRATE THAO OUR TAXPAYERS RIGHT AWAY.

I'M REALLY INTERESTED WITHY TEAM, LOOKING AT THE STRUCE IN CITY HALL.

WHERE DO WE HAVE OUR ALIGN?

BOTH HUMAN AND FISCAL RESO.

ARE THEY ALIGNED THE CORE Y SERVICES WE PROMISED WE WOD DELIVER?

BOTH SHORT AND A LONGER-TEM GOAL.

I WOULD SHARE, I PLAN TO DA STATE OF THE CITY AT THAT 0 DAY MARK.

I'M HOPING TO HAVE PEOPLE O SOMETHING A LITTLE BIT DIFT THAN WHAT WE'VE NORMALLY DE WITH THE DECK IN THE WESTEN PART OF OUR COMMUNITY.

JULIE: YOU WILL BE MAYOR OE ENTIRE CITY.

THERE WERE PARTS OF THE CIY THAT LEANED TOWARD MAYOR L. >> EAST HILLSIDE.

JULIE: DOWNTOWN, WATERFRON.

ARE THERE SPECIAL THINGS YE GOING TO DO TO REACH OUT TO VOTERS IN THOSE AREAS TO TO GET THEM ON BOARD THE ROGER TRAIN?

>> I DON'T WANT TO RIDE THE ROGER TRAIN.

MY ATTITUDE IS, AND I SAIDS THE NIGHT OF THE ELECTION,M MAYOR FOR ALL OF DULUTH.

I HAVE PLENTY OF MEETING WH FOLKS WHO DIDN'T SUPPORT MD THAT'S OK.

THERE'S A FEW CASES WHERE'S GOING TO TAKE MORE WORK TO REBUILD SOME RELATIONSHIPS.

AT TIMES, THIS CAMPAIGN WAS CHALLENGING.

I WILL SAY THAT.

FOR MOST, THIS IS THE PRODF HAVING A COUPLE WELL-QUALID CANDIDATES.

YOU WILL HAVE PEOPLE MAKE DIFFERENT CHOICES AND I'M K WITH THAT.

I DON'T TAKE THAT PERSONAL.

THE MAYOR FOR ALL THE COMMY MEANS THAT I TREAT ALL THE COMMUNITY THE SAME AND I'MT LOOKING TO TRY TO DO ONE TG FOR A GROUP OF PEOPLE THANI WOULD FOR ANOTHER.

PART OF THAT IS THAT I DO'T HAVE AND I TOWARDS FOUR YES FROM NOW.

I'VE BEEN ASKED TO SERVE AS TIME.

THREE OR FOUR YEARS FROM NE WILL MAKE AN ASSESSMENT OF WHETHER RIGHT FIELD CALLEDI FEEL CALLED.

THAT'S NOT THE WORK WE AREG NOW.

RIGHT NOW, WE ARE ALIGNINGF AND RESOURCES TO OUR CORE Y SERVICES.

DENNIS: HOW STRONG IS TO LE ECONOMICALLY?

>> WE ARE DOING WELL BUT WE COULD BE DOING BETTER CERT.

ONE OF THE THINGS WE TALKED ABOUT DURING THE CAMPAIGN S HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO CONL -- GROWS A BUSINESS PART OR COMMUNITY.

WE ARE SEEING POPULATION GH IN THE REGION.

WE ARE NOT SEEING IT IN THE CITY.

WE HAVE A TWOFOLD CHALLENG.

ONE IS TO DISPEL THE MYTH T WE ARE A DISK -- DIFFICULTE TO DO USINESS.

THE OTHER IS TO HAVE THAT MIDMARKET HOUSING.

AS OUR EMPLOYERS TRY TO RET AS THEY TRY TO GROW, THOSE EMPLOYEES HAVE A PLACE TO E WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY.

JULIE: GETTING BACK TO REBUILDING AND BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS, YOU SERVED Y YEARS IN THE STATE LEGISLAE AS A MEMBER OF THE DFL PAR.

YOU CHOSE NOT TO SEEK THE L ENDORSEMENT IN THE MAYOR'SE BUT IT WAS GIVEN TO EMILY LARSON.

ARE THERE REPAIRS THAT NEEO BE MADE THERE?

IN TERMS OF BRINGING YOURSF BACK INTO THE FULL.

>> THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION.

REALLY NOTHING TO DO AROUNE ENDORSEMENT.

I MADE AN INTENTIONAL DECIN ABOUT NOT SEEKING POLITICAL PARTY AND HONORING THE NONPARTISAN NATURE OF THE .

AS MANY KNOW, I WAS ENDORSD FIVE TIMES AS A DFL CANDID.

MUCH MORE TO DO WITH THE TN THE CAMPAIGN TOOK.

THERE WERE NINE DIFFERENT K MAILERS.

FROM A GROUP THAT SUPPORTEE AT ONE TIME.

I WAS A MEMBER OF IT.

JULIE: DID THAT SURPRISE Y?

>> IT DID.

IT DISAPPOINTED ME BOTH BEE OF THAT NATURE BUT ALSO BEE OF THE D.C.

TACTIC OF, I'MG TO TAKE THIS ONE THING THAS A COMMITTEE VOTE ON AN AMET AND OFFER IT AS PROOF OF EVERYTHING.

I'M SO THANKFUL.

I DID BELIEVE IS -- LOCAL S WHERE WE CAN OVERCOME THOSE STYLES.

PEOPLE KNOW YOU.

THEY'VE SEEN YOUR SERVICE.

WHAT I WILL SAY IS, I COMEO OFFICE KNOWING THAT I/O THS ELECTION TO ONE GROUP OF P, EVERY DAY DULUTH VOTERS.

INITION TO NOT DOING PARTY ENDORSEMENTS, WE DIDN'T SEE COLLECTED AND OFFICIAL -- ELECTED OFFICIAL ENDORSEME.

WE WERE JUST FOCUSED ON FO.

WE SAW THAT AGAIN IN THAT % VOTER TURNOUT.

DENNIS: YOU DID A LOT OF ONE-ON-ONE CAMPAIGNING.

WHAT DID YOU LEARN FROM TH VOTERS AS YOU KNOCKED ON D?

>> IT REALLY STARTED LAST SPRING.

WE WERE INTENTIONAL ABOUT R FIRST PHASE OF THE CAMPAIG.

WE HAD COFFEE CONVERSATIOND SMALL GROUPS.

I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY ONE-ON-ONE CITED.

LARGELY I JUST LNED AND TOK NOTES.

OUT OF THAT CAME OUT THOSEE BIG ISSUES.

HOUSING AND COMMERCIAL TAXE AND STREETS AND DOWNTOWN.

THOSE THEN ARE OUR MARCHING ORDERS AS WE MOVE THROUGH.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT NOT JUST D FURTHER -- VOTER TURNOUT, D ALSO THE 20% VOTE MARGIN.

I DID NEED A POLE.

THAT TOLD ME THAT WE WERE T ON THE ISSUES AND THAT THE PUBLIC WAS SAYING, GET AFT.

JULIE: YOU'VE HAD A LOT OFE EXPERIENCE SINCE THE LAST E YOU WERE WITH US.

YOU EARNED YOUR LAW DEGREE.

YOU'VE BEEN WORKING AS A L. YOU'VE BEEN DEPLOYED A NUMF TIMES AS A RESERVIST.

YOU'VE BEEN TEACHING AT THE COLLEGE.

ARE YOU A DIFFERENT PERSONY COMING INTO OFFICE?

>> THAT IS SUCH A GREAT QUESTION.

I THINK I LOOK BACK AND, SPENDING THE YEAR IN COMBAN AFGHANISTAN, COMING BACK HE AND GOING THROUGH A REALLY DIFFICULT PERSONAL CHAPTERS MANY VETERANS DO.

IF YOU WOULD HAVE ASKED MEE YEARS AGO IF I WOULD BE HAG THIS CONVERSATION, NO.

I DIDN'T KNOW IF I WAS STIL GOING TO BE IN THE NAVY AFR THAT.

YET THOSE THINGS WERE SO FORMATIVE.

EVEN IN THE MOST DIFFICULTS OF THE CAMPAIG I WAS ABLE O SAY TO MYSELF, I'VE BEEN TH WORSE.

NO ONE IS SHOOTING AT ME.

THIS IS HARD EMOTIONALLY BT IT'S NOT DANGEROUS.

IT REALLY DOES SET A DIFFET METRIC AND LEVEL FOR WHAT'D AND WHAT'S CHALLENGING.

THE NUMBER ONE THING THAT E EXPERIENCES TAUGHT ME WAS HUMILITY.

EVEN AS I MOVE INTO THIS RI KEEP SAYING TO FOLKS, IF YU KNOW ME FOR MORE THAN A YE, USE MY NAME AND NOT THE TI.

I WANT TO BE THE PERSON DOG THE THING AND NEVER WANT TO BECOME THE THING.

JULIE: ROGER, GOOD TO SEE .

♪ >> THE STORY REALLY STARTEH OUR LEARNING ABOUT THE FACT LAKE SUPERIOR IS AMONG THE FASTEST WARMING OF THE LARE LIKES OF THE WORLD.

AND WE HAVE BEEN DOING EDUCATIONAL WORK, INTERPREE WORK ABOUT NATURAL AND CULL HISTORY ALONG LAKE SUPERI'S NORTH SHORE, DEVELOPING EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES AND DOCUMENTARY VIDEO.

AND THAT THAT CHIP -- AND N THAT JUST BECAME A REALLY INTERESTING FACT.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR THE NATURAL SYSTEMS OF THE LAKT IS FAMOUSLY FRIGID?

WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR THE Y OF LAKE SUPERIOR AS THIS FABULOUSLY COLD LAKE?

FABULOUSLY COLD LAKE?ONE OO DO WAS CONVEY A SENSE OF, T IS LIKE SUPERIOR LIKE?

WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL?

THE CLARITY OF THE WATER, E SIZE OF THE LAKE.

THE PLACES YOU CAN LOOK OU.

THERE'S NO HORIZON.

IT GOES ON FOREVER.

IT CAN BE INCREDIBLY CALM, ESPECIALLY IN THOSE WEEKS E LETTER PART OF THE SUMMER.

VERY CALM.

BUT HUGE STORMS.

HOW DO YOU CAPTURE ALL OF ?

AND IT'S CHALLENGING.

OF THE THINGS WE DID WAS WE ENGAGED CHRISTIAN DOLL BACN UNDERWATER PHOTOGRAPHER.

WE SPENT SOME TIME WORKINGH HIM TO GET SOME OF HIS IMA.

WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE UNDE WAVES?

WHAT'S DISTINCTIVE ABOUT T?

GOT OUT ON RESEARCH VESSES WITH SOME OF THE SCIENTISTT ARE DOING THE RESEARCH TO O STUDY THE LAKE, UNDERSTANDG HOW IT OPERATES AND HOW I'S CHANGING.

THAT PROVIDES A PERSPECTIV.

BEING ON A FAIRLY LARGE SHT ON THE LAKE.

YOU KNOW, BUT IT'S NOT AN Y THING TO DO.

IT'S HUGE.

IN THE WINTER, THE WINTER S OUT TO BE VERY IMPORTANT FR PRODUCTIVITY, BIOLOGICAL PRODUCTIVITY IN THE LAKE.

WE ARE GETTING LESS AND SSE DUE TO THE WARMING CLIMATE.

THAT HAS HAD AN IMPACT.

HOW DO YOU CAPTURE THE LAKD WINTER?

YOU CAN'T ALWAYS GET OUT.

THERE'S LESS ICE SO THERE'S OPPORTUNITY TO BE OUT THER.

SO T WERE DEFINITELY CHALLENGES THERE.

WE JUST TRY TO THINK OUTSIE BOX OF FINDING WAYS TO CAPE THOSE KIND OF IMAGES.

THE WORK I DO WITH HAMLINE UNIVERSITY AT OUR CENTER FR GLOBAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION IS VERY FOCUSED N HELPING PEOPLE BECOME ENVIRONMENTALLY LITERATE.

UNDERSTANDING HOW NATURAL SYSTEMS AROUND US WORK THAE SO IMPORTANT FOR SUSTAININR LIVES.

AND STEWARDSHIP.

THAT'S PART OF WHAT IT MEAO BE A HUMAN BEING.

TO TAKE CARE OF THE WORLD D US.

THE DOCUMENTARY ITSELF WILE BROADCAST HERE ON PBS NORTD THEN EVENTUALLY RELEASED TO OTHER PBS STATIONS IN MINNA AND THEN BEYOND MINNESOTA, ROUGH THE PBS NETWORK.

I WOULD SAY THE PRIMARY GOS PEOPLE BEING ABLE TO MORE Y APPRECIATE WHAT'S VALUABLED IMPORTANT ABOUT LAKE SUPER.

AND THEN TO UNDERSTAND TH'S CHANGING.

THAT THE CHANGES ARE RESULG FROM HUMAN ACTIVITY.

SO, WHAT CAN WE DO TO MITIE THOSE CHANGES TO REDUCE THR IMPACT?

OUR GOAL ULTIMATELY IS TO HEIGHTEN THAT AWARENESS AND PEOPLE TOWARD DOING WHAT TY CAN TO HAVE AN IMPACT ON TE ISSUES.
