Lake Erie advocates take aim at ‘factory farms’
Alexandra Mester - The (Toledo) Blade
Digital ads now showing on electronic billboards across Toledo and elsewhere in the state are part of a local campaign taking aim against concentrated animal feeding operations.
Mike Ferner, coordinator for Lake Erie Advocates, said during a news conference Thursday morning the ads showing an iconic photo of a glass of green Lake Erie water and cows and hogs on so-called “factory farms” are meant to provoke discussion.
“Nothing happens until we start talking about it, and that’s why we’ve kicked off this campaign to start the conversation about banning factory farms,” Ferner said. “When enough people demand that, it will happen, thousands of farmers will be able to go back onto the land that they’ve been kicked off of by this industry to produce the meat, milk, and eggs that we need just like they did a mere 20 years ago.”

TOWER- The Tower-Soudan Historical Society has received grant funding to replace the roof on the Tower Historic Fire Hall on Main Street. This was the first fire hall built on the Iron Range, in 1895, and is the oldest existing public building north of Duluth.
A $20,000 grant was made from the Department of Iron Range Resources and Rehabilitation Culture and Tourism Program through taxes paid by Minnesota’s mining industry, and a $10,000 grant was made from the State of Minnesota from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund through the Minnesota Historical Society. The roof replacement will eliminate water infiltration and deter further building deterioration.

TOWER After two years of waiting and hoping, city officials here received some good news from the state Legislature last week. A funding plan approved by lawmakers includes an extension for the second phase of a harbor trail system that had been mothballed after the mishandling of the first phase of the project back in 2018-19.
The funding had originally been approved by the Legislative-Citizen Commission on Minnesota Resources, or LCCMR, back in 2016, but LCCMR officials put a hold on the dollars after the city made major changes to the first phase of the project without seeking required approval.
