Duluth Mayor Emil this week proposed a major change in how the city d tourism taxes to promote the ci after issuing a request for qual and conducting interviews.

The mayor announced the decision to replace Visit Duluth outside Hall on Tuesday.

For 85 years, we have had a sing that worked to meet the needs of and promotion for the community Choosing a new approach is not a what was lacking in the existing partnerships th It is about what's possible in e our brand and expanding our aud engaging new voices from throughout the community, leveraging our investments and using data to get us there.

I am completely confident that the government can build the necessary relation to be our trusted, creative and visionary promotional partner.

This morning, I spoke briefly wi Duluth about continuing to prov convention sales for the coming they shared during the intervie This is an area of strength for and I really hope they will cho to continue to contract with the of Duluth for these services.

The Duluth City Council will discuss the city administration at Monday's council meeting.

Vaccinations are up in 12 to 16 old children in Minnesota, and the state is crediting its "Vax to School" campaign.

Also this week, the state announ more than 70 percent of adults aged 16 and older have received at least one dose of the COVID More than six million total dose have been administered here in Which leads the Midwest now in percentage of population vac The University of Wisconsin superior announced it will require masks for all st and employees beginning Monday.

There's a lot of activity going near the Duluth ship Canal on Park Point this month.

The US Army Corps of Engineers began its twenty twenty one maintenance dredging of the Duluth Harbor last week and is finishing cleanup of debr inadvertently placed on the bea Shredded tin cans were found on after the replenishing project last season.

We talked with the Army Corps ch of construction about this year So currently we're doing the FY-21 maintenance dredging Duluth-Superior Harbor contract.

It's a contract.

It's actually something that we annually, part of our normal maintenance dredging program through the Detroit district.

So each and every year we get fu to keep and maintain the harbor Each and every year there sediment that comes down or accumulates throughout variou within the harbor.

So, again, this is just to take of those those accumulations or to ensure that the channel is is deep enough for the ships to go back and forth.

Though in some cases, we do beach nourishment.

We did that for a number of year We also do other projects where we supplement maybe restoration We work closely with some of our our federal partners, like the EPA and state partners like the MPCA and Minnesota DNR DNR, to supplement some of these restoration projec where we're actually creating h for the wildlife and aquatic various species.

Nurturing that beach, it helps in two ways.

One way it does help us as a court because we we need an ultimate home for this material.

And number two, it does also hel Point residents as well, especially the ones where there' erosion issues and things where has been eroding away due to hi We had a survey done this spring and identify areas that that had additional debris, can debris primarily and other We have did a few rounds of surf cleanup that was with our own use's employees and operations.

So we've completed that thus far So we actually put that into our our maintenance dredging contract this year for them to perform the full de for a number of the areas that we ourselves.

Our internal crew could not reac So what that entitled is, they will go out with an excava You could probably see the longe reach excavator in the backgrou They went out, excavate those ar and ran it through a screen to be able to capture a remaining debris that we discovered in that survey from the Springs So this year with this contract, we put in some some different steps.

So when the material comes to ou to placing getting it placed onto the beach, it goes to a offloading or tran And at that transfer, boxer's a last year, the screeners are la So based on some of the issues and concerns that we had last y we've required that contractor to reduce that size of screen t to prevent things like cans and those things to go through the Yeah.

So this contract, they started roughly the first w of August, which was last week.

And this contract, they're allowed to go up to 30 Right now, the contractor is is to finish up early, probably more of the the first p of September, maybe mid Septemb I think the other thing just men is that safety is our priority all along throughout this proce Obviously, we mentioned some of the hiccups that we had in twen And I just want want everybody to know that the Corp is doing our best to try to make that safety is out there.

We're doing our best.

Obviously, there has been signage that was out there as well to to warn people.

WHERE DOING HER BEST, OBVIOUSLY.

THERE HAS BEEN SIGNAGE OUT THERE TO WARN PEOPLE.

NOW THAT THE CLEANUP EFFORT IS DONE, WE ARE FINISHING UP NOW AND SOME OF THE OTHER SAFEGUARDS THAT I CAN ASSURE YOU WE ARE DOING OUR BEST TO KEEP THE BEACH AS SAFE AS POSSIBLE.

>> THE ARMY CORPS URGES THE PUBLIC TO STAY OFF THE BEACH BETWEEN THE CANAL AND THE PARKING LOT WHERE FENCING HAS BEEN PLACED, WORK IS EXPECTED TO BE COMPLETED BY THE END OF SEPTEMBER.

♪ >> FILM FESTIVAL IS BACK IN ORGANIZER SADIE'S BETTER THAN EVER, THE FESTIVAL KICKS OFF NEXT FRIDAY WITH A DIVERSE GROUP OF OFFERINGS.

ORGANIZERS SAY THE NEW VISION FOR THE DECADE-OLD FILM FEST IS TO CHALLENGE THE NORM WHEN IT COMES TO FILM MAKING.

HERE TO TELL US MORE IS MEGAN MCGARVEY, THE FESTIVAL'S COMMUNITY OUTREACH COORDINATOR.

AND KHAYMAN GOODSKY IS A LOCAL FILMMAKER AND A PROGRAMMER WITH THE FILM FESTIVAL.

WELCOME, THANK YOU BOTH FOR BEING HERE.

I WONDERED, JUST WHAT IS THE DULUTH SUPERIOR FILM FESTIVAL AND WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?

>> IT IS ONE OF OUR REGIONAL FESTIVALS HERE IN THE TWIN PORTS AND IT INCLUDES BOTH THE MAKERS FROM ACROSS THE BRIDGE AND OVER IN SUPERIOR AS WELL AS GO MAKERS HERE IN DULUTH.

IT HAS BEEN AROUND 10 YEARS, IT STARTED OUT AS A SHORTS FILM FESTIVAL AND IT WAS FREE TO THE PUBLIC DURING THAT TIME.

SO IT HAS GROWN SINCE THEN.

THAT IS THE HISTORY ABOUT IT.

AND IT IS SO IMPORTANT TO HAVE A FILM FESTIVAL LIKE THE DULUTH SUPERIOR FILM FESTIVAL BECAUSE IT'S HERE TO HELP THE MAKERS HERE IN THE COMMUNITY HERE, TO HELP THEM GROW AND MEET EACH OTHER SO WE CAN BUILD THAT COMMUNITY UP.

DENNIS: SURE.

>> AS WE MENTIONED IN THE INTRO, KHAYMAN, THE FESTIVAL WAS CANCELED LAST YEAR, BUT IN THAT GIVE YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO RETHINK WHAT IT SHOULD LOOK LIKE AND PLAN THE PROGRAM DIFFERENTLY?

>> IT DEFINITELY GAVE CAUSE FOR THE MAKERS DO HAVE TIME TO WORK ON THEIR ART LITTLE MORE, WHICH IS WHY -- WHAT WE LIKE, A LOT OF FILL MAKERS LIKE TO DO THAT IT NOT BE IN A RUSH.

AT THIS YEAR WE WANTED TO TAKE A BIG APPROACH -- DIFFERENT APPROACH TO HOW WE DO THINGS TO SEE IF THAT WILL WORK BETTER, BECAUSE ARTISTS GROW AND EXPAND AND WE AS A COMMUNITY WHO PUT ON FILM FESTIVALS MUST DO THE SAME THING.

>> WHAT ATTRACTED YOU TO THE FILM FESTIVAL INDUSTRY?

>> I LIKE MAKING FILMS, BUT WHEN I HEARD THEY WERE GOING TO HAVE AN INDIGENOUS FILM SECTION I WANTED TO BE PART OF THAT BECAUSE I BELIEVE IN HIGHLIGHTING HIGHLIGHTING -- HIGHLIGHTING INDIGENOUS ARTISTS TO TELL AUTHENTIC STORIES.

I WANTED TO BE PART OF SUPPORTING DATA AND UPLIFTING THESE ARTS.

DENNIS: MEGAN, WHAT ABOUT YOURSELF?

>> OH MY GOODNESS, THE FACT THAT IT WAS -- I AM A MIDWEST LADY BORN AND RAISED, SO THE FACT THAT THEY WANTED TO REACH ACROSS THE BRIDGE AND BRING ON SOME MORE WISCONSIN FILMMAKERS, I'M ORIGINALLY FROM WISCONSIN AND I THINK IT IS SO AMAZING WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO EXPANDED OUT TO ALL OF THE MIDWEST.

WE HAVE FILMS COMING FROM IOWA, MICHIGAN, DETROIT, OBVIOUSLY WISCONSIN AND MINNESOTA ESPECIALLY.

BUT IT IS REALLY AWESOME TO SEE THE IDEA OF IT YOU CAN MAKE IT HERE, YOU CAN MAKE FILMS IN THE MIDWEST, YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO TO L.A. OR NEW YORK TO MAKE AMAZING STUFF, AND IT WAS A PRIVILEGE TO WATCH SOME OF THESE AWESOME FILMS WE GOT IN FOR THE PROGRAM AND WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO SHARING THEM.

>> SPEAKING OF AWESOME FILMS HE GOT IN FOR THE PROGRAM, I BELIEVE YOU BROUGHT IN A CLIP OF THE FILM THAT IS GOING TO BE THE OPENER THIS YEAR.

MAYBE WE COULD RUN THAT YOU COULD TALK ABOUT IT A LITTLE BIT.

>> OK. [VIDEO] ♪ [SPEAKING FOREINGN LANGUAGE] >> SOME PEOPLE YOU JUST CONNECT TO, IT'S ALMOST LIKE YOU KNEW THEM FROM BEFORE.

SO IT IS HARD NOT TO.

IN A LOT OF WAYS, YEAH, I DO BELIEVE IN REINCARNATION.

CRACKS >> [SPEAKING FOREINGN LANGUAGE] >> [SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE] >> [SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE] >> YOU TO FALL, AND KHAYMAN PERHAPS HE CAN TALK ABOUT WHY THIS IS A GOOD FILM TO KICK OFF THE TESTABLE.

>> YEAH, THIS IS A 2012 FILM, AND IT IS BEAUTIFUL BECAUSE IT CAPTURES TWO DIFFERENT FRIENDS WHO ARE EXPECTING CHILDREN AND THEIR CONNECTIONS TO THE LAND, THE WATER, THE CULTURE AND IT ALL TIES TO BEING INDIGENOUS WHICH IS A BEAUTIFUL THING TO BE A PART OF AND TO WATCH, AND TO EXPLORE WHAT THAT MEANS IT VIGOR SENSE.

SO IT IS IMPORTANT -- BIGGER SENSE.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO KICK OFF THIS FESTIVAL BECAUSE WE ARE ON INDIGENOUS LANDS AND IT IS IMPORTANT TO RECOGNIZE THAT AND HIGHLIGHT THOSE ARTISTS.

>> WHAT CAN THOSE WHO ATTEND THE FILM FESTIVAL NEXT WEEKEND IS EXPECT TO SEE AND DO?

>> YOU CAN EXPECT TO SEE A SPECTACULAR ARRANGEMENT OF FEATURE-LENGTH AND SHORT FIRM -- FORM FILMS, YOU WILL ALSO BE ABLE TO SEEK Q&A'S FROM KHYAMAN AND MYSELF -- KHAYMAN AND MYSELF, AND BADGE HOLDERS WILL BE ABLE TO GO TO AFTER PARTIES AND ENJOY NETWORKING EVENTS AS WELL.

>> SO YOU ARE USING THE THEATER IN TOWN?

>> YES, WE ARE USING ZEITGEIST, IT WILL BE OUR MAIN POINT OF BEING IN THIS FESTIVAL.

>> YOU MENTIONED THE INDIGENOUS FILMS BEING INCLUDED.

WHAT ARE SOME OF THE OTHER TYPES OF FILMS OR AREAS THAT PEOPLE MIGHT FIND INTERESTING?

>> THEY MIGHT FIND OUR MIDWEST ANGLE INTERESTING, WE ALSO HAVE THE DOCUMENTARIES FOR SURE, WE ALSO HAVE THE CLIMATE CHANGE -- LIKE, ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY ONE.

WE ALSO HAVE ONE THAT DEALS WITH SOCIAL ISSUES, SO FOR INSTANCE, OUR DOCUMENTARY "BELLY OF THE BEAST" DOES A DEEP DIVE INTO CRIMINAL JUSTICE ISSUES LIKE ABOUT WOMEN IN PRISON BEING STERILIZED AND THE KIND OF STUFF.

>> ARE THEY ALL PRETTY STERILIZED -- HEAVY TOPICS?

>> OUR SHORT BLOCK IS LIGHTHEARTED AT TIMES AND WE DO HAVE SOME VERY -- ALTHOUGH SOME FEATURES MAY BE HARD-HITTING AT FIRST, THE END LIGHTHEARTED AT THE END.

ONE OF THOSE BEING THE AMAZING STORM LIKE, -- "STORMLAKE" WE ARE EXCITED TO AIR THAT.

>> THE FESTIVAL HAS ONGOING DUTCH UNDERGROUND TRANSMISSION OF THE PAST 10 YEARS.

>> HAS TRANSFORMED BECAUSE WE HAVE FEATURES AND SHORTS, IT USED TO BE JUST SHORT FILMS, AND IT HAS BEEN EXPENDED BY THESE CATEGORIES.

WE KNOW EXPENDED THOSE AS WELL.

>> WHAT TYPICALLY HAPPENS TO A FILM THAT IS SCREENED AT A FESTIVAL LIKE US?

DOES IT JUST KIND OF LAY ON THE SHELF AFTER THAT OR DOES IT GO PLACES?

>> YOU START SMALL WITH LOCAL FILM FESTIVALS AND THEN YOU GET THE WORD OUT.

OUR FILMMAKING COMMUNITY ACTUALLY SPREADS THE WORD OUT.

SOY HOPE THESE FILMS THAT COME THROUGH OUR FILM FESTIVAL WILL BE ABLE TO GO ON TO BIGGER ONES IN THESE ARTISTS WILL GET MORE WRECK NATION.

THAT IS WHAT MY HOPE IS.

-- RECOGNITION.

>> AND YOUR FILM HAS GONE PLACES.

>> ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS OUR FILM WENT ANYWHERE IS BECAUSE OF THE NETWORKING WE WERE ABLE TO DO.

WE FOUND OUT HOW WE WERE ABLE TO GET MY FILM ONTO AMAZON BECAUSE OF FILM MAKERS THAT KNEW ABOUT THAT, AND WE WERE ABLE TO CONNECT THAT WAY.

>> WHO GENERALLY ATTENDS A FILM FESTIVAL?

WHO IS YOUR CUSTOMER?

>> OH, GOODNESS.

MAINLY PEOPLE BUT OBVIOUSLY ENJOY FILM, AND ESPECIALLY A GREAT ART COMMUNITY THAT WE HAVE IN DULUTH.

AND EVERY DAY DILUTE THE END -- DULUTHIAN WOULD ENJOY THIS.

>> AND HOW DID THEY TAKE PART QUESTION MARK TO THE BUY TICKETS OR SHOW UP?

>> YOU CAN BUY TICKETS AND BADGES ONLINE, WE DO HAVE A MASK MANDATE SO IF YOU SHOW UP YOU DO HAVE TO WEAR A MASK, WE ASK THAT YOU RESPECT THAT.

>> ANY PROTOCOLS OR CHANGES DUE TO COVID DIVERSITY QUESTION MARK --?

>> AS OF RIGHT NOW THAT IS EVERY THING WE KNOW BUT WE WILL EBB AND FLOW.

>> WE WISH YOU ALL THE BEST COME NEXT WEEKEND, THANK YOU BOTH SO MUCH.

♪ >> IT'S TIME FOR THIS WEEK'S EDITION OF "VOICES OF THE REGION".

EACH WEEK WE HEAR FROM A JOURNALIST IN THE AREA ON THE STORIES THEY ARE COVERING.

THIS WEEK KAXE PUBLIC RADIO NEWS DIRECTOR HEIDI HOLTAN FROM GRAND RAPIDS IS OUR GUEST.

♪ >> THIS MONTH WE HAD THE CHANCE TO MEET A VISITOR TO NORTHERN MINNESOTA, JOHN OTIS.

HIS GRANDFATHER FOUNDED SUGAR LAKE LODGE IN GRAND RAPIDS AND HE HAS BEEN SPENDING SUMMERS HERE SINCE HE WAS A KID.

HE IS ALSO A REPORTER FOR NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO AND IS BASED IN COLUMBIA.

HE COULD NOT VISIT LAST YEAR DUE TO THE PANDEMIC BUT HE IS BACK.

HE AND HIS WIFE HAVE HAD THEIR VACCINES AND THEY BROUGHT THEIR TEENAGE SONS TO THE CLINIC AND GOT THEM VACCINES.

OUR CONVERSATION WAS A GOOD REMINDER THAT IN OTHER COUNTRIES THE SCENE IS NOT AS PLENTIFUL.

ASK THE GOOD THING ABOUT COLUMBIA -- >> THE GOOD THING ABOUT COLUMBIA IS EVERYONE HERE TOOK IT SERIOUSLY, THERE IS NOBODY SAYING IT IS JUST THE FLU OR NOTHING AT ALL, THEY TOOK IT SERIOUSLY AND EVEN BEFORE THE QUARANTINES, BOGOTA, THE CAPITAL CITY WHERE I LIVE, THERE WAS A LOCKDOWN AS A DRILL IN CASE KOBE GOT DOWN AND THEY HAD TO DO A LOCKDOWN.

SO THEY TOOK IT EXTREMELY SERIOUSLY AND THAT HELPED.

IT IS REALLY WEIRD BECAUSE UP HERE THEY ARE BEGGING PEOPLE TO COME IN AND GET VACCINATED.

THERE'S A LOT OF AXING DENIERS AND IT IS KIND OF NUTS BECAUSE IN SOME ANY PARTS OF THE WORLD, PEOPLE ARE DESPERATE TO GET VACCINATED.

>> BESIDES BEING A REPORTER FOR NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO, JOHN OTIS IS A CONSULTANT WITH THE COMMITTEE TO PROTECT JOURNALISTS.

>> ALL OF THE WORLD JOURNALISM IS, I GUESS YOU MIGHT SAY UNDER ATTACK.

THERE HAS BEEN A WAVE OF NATIONALIST GOVERNMENTS AND AUTHORITARIAN GOVERNMENTS TAKING HOLD ESPECIALLY IN LATIN AMERICA.

MADURO IN VENEZUELA, IN NICARAGUA, THESE GOVERNMENTS DON'T LIKE FREEDOM OF PRESS.

THEY HAD BEEN JAILING JOURNALISTS AND PUTTING THEM BEHIND BARS OR PASSING NEW LAWS TO MAKE IT HARDER TO DO JOURNALISM.

WE HAVE BEEN DOING A LOT OF WORK ON THAT.

NPR IS ONE OF A DIMINISHING NUMBER OF NEWS ORGANIZATIONS THAT HAS JOURNALISTS ALL OF THE PLACE, ALL OF THE WORLD.

I COVER MAYBE FIVE COUNTRIES IN SOUTH AMERICA AND WE REALLY TRY TO GET OUT THERE AND FIND OUT WHAT IS GOING ON IN BRING REAL NEWS TO PEOPLE.

♪ >> ANOTHER STORY WE RECENTLY COVERED HAD TO DO WITH THE NONPROFIT, THEY WERE IN OUR STUDIO TO TALK ABOUT A COMMUNITY GATHERING THEY HELD TO REMIND AND CELEBRATE THE NEWLY PRISTINE WATERS IN ITASCA COUNTY.

LAURA CONNOLLY AND DAVE LIPP TO LD US MORE.

>> WE LEARNED THAT PEOPLE WHO LIVE AND WORK AROUND HERE TAKE THE WATER FOR GRANTED BECAUSE IT IS EVERYWHERE, CLEAN WATER.

WE KNEW WE HAD TO INCREASE THE COLLECTIVE CONSCIOUSNESS AROUND THE IMPORTANCE OF OUR WATER.

>> KEEP IN MIND THIS IS THE HOME OF SIX MAJOR WATERSHEDS AND 200 MINOR WATERSHEDS.

AND WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO MAKE A POINT OF IS THAT WHATEVER YOU DO ON LAND HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THAT BODY OF WATER THAT IS NEARBY.

LOTS OF PEOPLE ARE COMING HERE, MOVING HERE, RETIRING HERE.

YOU CAN HEAR THEM SPEAK ABOUT HOW INTERESTED THEY ARE IN MOVING TO THE NORTH WOODS, BUT IT IS ALWAYS DIFFICULT FOR ME TO UNDERSTAND WHY THE FIRST THING THEY DO IS CUT THE VEGETATION DOWN AND PLAYED ALONG.

ONES ARE THE WORST CASE SCENARIO FOR LAKES.

>> IN ADDITION TO THE GATHERING, ITASCA WATERS ALSO OFFERS SHORELINE ADVICE, VOLUNTEERS COME TO YOUR PROPERTY AND ADVISE YOU ON PLANTS AND LANDSCAPING THAT WILL HELP KEEP WATERS CLEAN.

YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION AT ITASCAWATERS.ORG.

♪ >> WE'VE BEEN CELEBRATING FARMERS MARKETS IN OUR REGION, WE KNOW IT HAS BEEN A TOUGH ROWING SEASON WITH DROUGHTS, STORMS, WARM TEMPERATURES.

EACH TIME YOU GO TO A FARMERS MARKET YOU ARE HELPING A FAMILY FARM, THE LOCAL ECONOMY.

WE RECENTLY MET UP WITH ERIC AND JAY OF MAPLE RIDGE PRODUCE, THEY SELL AT THREE MARKETS IN OUR REGION IN GRAND RAPIDS, CROSBY.

THEY BUILT A VINTAGE -- AN HONOR SYSTEM FARMSTEAD.

>> AT THE END OF OUR DRIVEWAY IS OUR WARM STAND.

IT STARTED AS A -- FARMSTAND.

IT STARTED AS A LITTLE COOLER WITH SOME SHELVES, IT EVOLVED TO A 16 FOOT SLAB WITH MORE PALLETS, WE USED THE RESOURCES THAT WE HAD.

AND NOW WE HAVE THIS 1950'S TRAILER WHICH IS REALLY FUN.

IT HAS ALLOWED US TO SELL MORE THINGS AND HOLD FOR AND PRODUCTS, AND IT KEEPS THE WEATHER OUT.

IT'S REALLY CUTE.

>> IT ACTUALLY WORKS REALLY WELL, YOU'RE PROBABLY THINKING ARE YOU WORRIED ABOUT PEOPLE STEALING?

PEOPLE ARE REMARKABLY HONEST IF YOU PUT THAT EXPECTATION ON THEM.
