Fear and worry shadow Texas oyster fishermen as another season begins with few reefs open

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:54:17 GMT

TEXAS CITY (The Texas Tribune) — The dreary, gray weather on Monday matched oysterman Johny Jurisich’s mood. This time of year, when workers prepare boats ahead of the Nov. 1 start to Texas’ oyster season, used to feel exciting. Now, it felt muted as the industry faced an uncertain future.Fishermen weren’t playing music, smiling or coating boats with fresh paint. None of them knew if they would make money in the coming weeks.“They love doing it; that’s why they’re here,” Jurisich said, standing by the docks he owns with his dad and brother. “But it’s hard to love anymore, because it’s just heartbreak.”Texas oysters have suffered from stronger storms and worsening droughts as the effects of climate change intensify. The state has increasingly closed public harvest areas where it considers oysters too small or too scarce, in an effort to protect them. Last year, the state opened only a small portion of the public reefs. Fishermen crowded into the available areas, catching what they co...

Wild shakeup continues during long practice Friday

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:54:17 GMT

The Wild started this season with virtually the same team that ended the 2022-23 season with 46 victories and 103 points, the fourth-best regular season finish in franchise history.So, with his team riding a four-game losing streak and owner of only three victories in 10 games (3-5-2), coach Dean Evason was asked if he has been surprised by the team’s start.“Yeah, a hundred percent,” he said. “We should be better. We will be better. And it will start tomorrow night.”That’s when the Wild are host to the New York Rangers, 8-2-0 and riding a six-game win streak into Saturday’s 7 p.m. puck drop at Xcel Energy Center.After a long practice Friday at TRIA Rink, Evason expressed optimism that his team wouldn’t start Saturday’s game the way it did against the New Jersey Devils on Thursday, a 5-3 loss in which the Wild fell behind 3-0 early in the second period. Evason was so angry with the latest in a series of poor starts that he began his postgame comments with, “I thought the game started...

Letters: Rank the candidates on your ballot in St. Paul, voters

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:54:17 GMT

Rank your ballot in St. PaulSt. Paul neighbors, get ready to rank your ballot on Nov. 7. St. Paul held its first ranked voting election in 2011, and many of us have become familiar with this user-friendly way of voting.For first-time city voters, it’s easy — just rank your city council candidates in order of preference: first choice, second, etc. If a candidate receives a majority (50% + 1) of first-choices, that candidate wins. If not, then an “instant runoff” occurs. The candidate with the fewest votes is defeated, and these ballots now count toward those voters’ second choices. This continues until one candidate reaches a majority and wins.Under ranked voting, we’ve seen turnout increase and the council become more diverse in reflecting the communities it serves. It’s not just cost-effective (eliminating costly, low-turnout primaries), it’s more inclusive, civil and representative. Join me in ranking your ballot on Nov. 7 and celebrating St. Paul as a democracy ...

Pamela Paul: The Democrats are their own worst enemy

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:54:17 GMT

This should be the Democratic Party’s moment. Donald Trump’s stranglehold has lurched the GOP toward the fringe. Republican congressional behavior echoes that of an intemperate toddler and the party’s intellectual and ideological foundations have become completely unmoored.But far from dominant, the Democratic Party seems disconnected from the priorities, needs and values of many Americans.Current polls show a 2024 rematch between Trump and Joe Biden too close for true comfort; the same is true should Nikki Haley or Ron DeSantis be the Republican nominee. Many constituents who were once the Democratic Party’s reliable base — the working class, middle-class families, even Black and Latin Americans and other ethnic minorities — have veered toward the GOP. In a development that has baffled Democrats, a greater share of those groups voted for Republican candidates in recent elections.Something worrisome has happened to the party of the people.This worry isn’t entirely new. In 2004, Thom...
