ST. PAUL Seven new members have been appointed by Gov. Tim Walz to a state board which oversees training and standards for law enforcement across Minnesota.
The Peace Officers Standards and Training (POST) Board has been a hot topic for lawmakers and activists since this summer following the death of George Floyd while in Minneapolis police custody in May 2020. Those pushing for systemic reforms to policing often cite the POST Board as a means to that end.

A dog survived an attack by wolves on a hiking trail in Grand Marais recently, said the owner, who happens to be the mayor of the North Shore city.
Grand Marais Mayor Jay Arrowsmith DeCoux told WTIP Radio on Jan. 15 that they were probably 3-4 miles into their hike for the day on the Pincushion Mountain Trail when he heard his 65-pound dog, Blue, screaming bloody murder.
He called for her, but she didn t come, so he went to her and saw the wolves chasing Blue through the woods, noting the animals were absolutely enormous.

The first dog of Grand Marais is recovering from a rumble with wolves last week in the woods just outside of town.
The dog, a 65-pound female Weimaraner named Blue, was running on the snow-covered Pincushion Mountain Trail with its owner, Mayor Jay Arrowsmith DeCoux, snowshoeing not far behind. About 2½ miles from the trailhead, DeCoux heard Blue scream.
He called for her, but when she didn t return he took off running and came upon a scary sight: two massive, healthy-looking gray wolves had Blue cornered, one in front of her and one behind.
