CRUEL SUMMER The heat wave that fricasseed the Pacific Northwest this week, along with the evocatively named Lava Fire in northern California, has inspired a lot of rhetoric about a “climate emergency.” But the newest inconvenient truth is that climate change isn’t the kind of emergency that inspires emergency action in Washington.

Grand Forks might push chickens to roost elsewhere
Grand Forks residents need a permit to keep chickens on their property, but complaints to City Council President Dana Sande have prompted city leaders to consider an outright ban. 9:17 pm, Jun. 28, 2021 ×
Chickens in Grand Forks may need to fly the coop this summer.
After a resident’s birds ran afoul of neighbors, City Council members preliminarily voted 4-3 on Monday to ban people from keeping chickens within city limits. The council is set to meet again next Tuesday for the first of two definitive votes on the ban. Voting against were council members Katie Dachtler, Bret Weber and Ken Vein. In favor were Danny Weigel, Jeannie Mock, Kyle Kvamme and City Council President Dana Sande, who said he’s heard complaints from constituents in his ward about neighboring chickens, which, Sande said, can rile up dogs and other domestic animals.
