DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott’s presidential campaign announced Monday that the Republican was shifting staff and money from New Hampshire to Iowa in an effort to boost his standing in the leadoff caucus state with less than three months until the first votes of the 2024 election are cast.

However, late-summer polls showed him receiving support in the single digits, far behind the Iowa front-runner, former President Donald Trump.Scott’s campaign team had said they had hoped the senator’s upbeat style and comfort quoting scripture while di...

SaintedThe other morning I was walking around Edgcumbe Recreation Center, taking in the fall colors, when I noticed a group of about 10 St. Paul Parks and Recreation employees creating the framework for our neighborhood ice rink.As I reflected upon all the fun times that were had in this rink last winter, I thought about the song “We Are Santa’s Elves” from the 1960s holiday classic “Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.” When I crossed paths with the workers and made reference to that song, one of the “elves” smiled and started humming it!The grounds of this particular rec center have had a remarkable transformation in recent weeks: taming weeds, removing dead trees, fresh paint by the entrance, and the removal of weird debris that had piled up for a long time.Thank you SPPR staff, your efforts are noticed and appreciated.Susan Zoff, St. Paul TaintedTainted to the guy and his family in Calvary Cemetery on Tuesday evening, Oct. 10, walking his husky dog.Unless it is a service dog, no...
