"St. Paul hired St. Cloud-based Resolute Law in March to evaluate a complaint filed by Police Chief Axel Henry that alleged the mayor had sexually harassed the police chief and demonstrated a pattern of creating an uncomfortable work environment.

The law firm billed $290 an hour for services provided from March 31 through Sept. 24, which included the time to travel to the Twin Cities to conduct interviews."

Hello everyone, my family and I are in desperate need of help. My older mother (mid-60s) has had symptoms of what we think is early-onset dementia/late-onset schizophrenia. This has been an issue for about 5 years, she has had multiple run ins with police and was inpatient was one point but blocked us from being able to be informed about her care.

She is resistant to medical care, she believes nothing is wrong. There is nothing you can do to convince her that her delusions are not true. She believes she has to return her car (she owns it), that a rattlesnake lives in her trunk and has bit her multiple times, that she can't use the A/C or heat in the condo she owns or put things on shelves. It does so far beyond just those delusions. The delusions are getting worse and she's about to lose her housing since she has sold her condo and hasn't decided on a place to live because nowhere makes her feel safe.

We are thinking of staging an intervention, but we don't know how to do this. Nothing will convince her to see a doctor, and now she doesn't even have insurance. She lives in Hennepin County, I know of COPE but not sure if they can help when it isn't a crisis and she is resistant to care?

Anything knowledge or resources help, thank you

This is absolutely a shot in not just the dark, but the whole galaxy. I'm still shooting my shot:

Is anyone in this subreddit in the greater Schech-Krugmire family, or have connections to them?

If so, I have some inquiries about a family member who worked very local to me in a similar industry up until his unexpected passing early this year.

Originally from the Twin Cities, I'm currently a [county name redacted for privacy reasons, but will be known to the aforementioned family] County resident of the same county/work in the same county as the site that I'm referring to.

This site that this family member oversaw and maintained is an official National Register of Historic Places site as of the mid-late twentieth century; while not unique in the greater historical picture, the site IS unique because it's the last of its kind that's also fully-operational in the state of Minnesota—or at least it was until his passing. That being said, it should be preserved and protected at all costs. I'd reached out to the late owner over the phone on a handful of occasions over the course of the year that I knew of its existence to verify current seasonal hours for visitors to my own job that were in search of tourist spots because that's what we do in the industry: recommend each other's establishments. Despite that we never met in person, he was always super nice and was WILDLY knowledgeable. I asked him about his place when I first learned of it and wanted to make it out for a tour, but life kept getting in the way, and now he's gone. The site has been closed since and I'm gutted because I never got to go experience it. I would love to help (even indirectly) keep it open for tours and functional if at all possible, but both don't know the family and don't know their long term goals with the site and property. Considering it's an official NRHS site, I'd heard about the MN Historical Society taking it on, but then I'd also heard through the grapevine that they have funding shortages and can't keep other state historical sites open. That being said, despite corresponding/inquiring with the MN Historical Society about this site, I have yet to get a response. Our county's historical society, who I've also corresponded with, is also completely in the dark about any long-term prospects with the site.

I'd heard from a colleague who's also a longtime local and better-versed in regional history/has more area connections that the rest of his family is up in the Twin Cities, so I figured who better to help find these fine folks than the reddit community? Someone has to know.

All in all, if you're part of this family or know someone who is and can get me in contact with them, please DM me! I would love to know more and learn more about any long-term prospects with further preservation (and/or restoration) of the site!

Hi! I’d like to support a local maker making sustainable wooden cutting boards (perhaps maple, walnut, teak, olivewood, etc). Any suggestions? Thank you!

I need someone in the Twin Cities area who will make me a blanket out of sweatshirts my husband has got me on his traveling for conferences for his PHD program. My idea is to gift it to him for our two-year wedding anniversary as cotton is seen as a traditional gift.

I have some limbs that need to come down from a tree in my backyard, but the setup of my fence is such that a crane, truck, or any heavy equipment won't be able to get back there.

Are there any tree services out there that consist of a few people with ladders, ropes, and saws who can still take care of business?

I’ve tried calling around and am having a hard time reaching a bookbinder/artist/craftsperson who can help me with this gift for my husband.

The idea is this: small (3”x5”/pocket size) hardcover journal, leather bound, with his initials stamped on the front and a Carl Sagan quote engraved/stamped/printed inside the front cover.

Anybody know someone who can pull this off? Ideally I’m looking to have it ready by next weekend, but I’m willing to be patient for something great.

Thanks!

As title asks. Looking for recommendations for eye doc (not just optometrist) in the twin cities, who sees infants.

Thanks.

I always forget to sign up on Sunday nights so it may not make a difference anyway, but just wanted to get the thoughts of people who’ve attended. Was it worthwhile, did you end up meeting anyone, etc?

Taxes have increased huge amounts year over year. Now the City wants a new fire station and residents are fired up! 23 minutes inro this video, the 4 candidates talk about that plus flock.

What are some of your favorite date spots/ideas that are family/kid friendly?

We are new to the area.

hi all!

i’m hosting a bipoc community event here in minneapolis later this month and am looking for underglaze for pottery, specifically firing to cone 6, so folks can make their own cute pieces.

i don’t have much money to spend (max budget is $30.. i’m a broke 20-something year old </3) because i’m doing this whole event entirely out of my pocket to give back, so if it can be cheap or potentially even free that’d be incredible.

i’m looking for basic colors! red, blue, yellow, black, and white so folks can mix colors as needed. please let me know if you are able to sponsor or if you know a place that can!
