"On January 28, 1742, a ramshackle vessel of patched-together wood and cloth washed up on the coast of Brazil. Inside were thirty emaciated men, barely alive, and they had an extraordinary tale to tell. They were survivors of His Majesty’s Ship the Wager, a British vessel that had left England in 1740 on a secret mission during an imperial war with Spain. While the Wager had been chasing a Spanish treasure-filled galleon known as “the prize of all the oceans,” it had wrecked on a desolate island off the coast of Patagonia. The men, after being marooned for months and facing starvation, built the flimsy craft and sailed for more than a hundred days, traversing nearly 3,000 miles of storm-wracked seas. They were greeted as heroes.
But then ... six months later, another, even more decrepit craft landed on the coast of Chile. This boat contained just three castaways, and they told a very different story. The thirty sailors who landed in Brazil were not heroes – they were mutineers. The first group responded with countercharges of their own, of a tyrannical and murderous senior officer and his henchmen. It became clear that while stranded on the island the crew had fallen into anarchy, with warring factions fighting for dominion over the barren wilderness. As accusations of treachery and murder flew, the Admiralty convened a court martial to determine who was telling the truth. The stakes were life-and-death—for whomever the court found guilty could hang.
The Wager is a grand tale of human behavior at the extremes told by one of our greatest nonfiction writers. Grann’s recreation of the hidden world on a British warship rivals the work of Patrick O’Brian, his portrayal of the castaways’ desperate straits stands up to the classics of survival writing such as The Endurance, and his account of the court martial has the savvy of a Scott Turow thriller. As always with Grann’s work, the incredible twists of the narrative hold the reader spellbound." -Amazon

Complain if you don’t make changes… Complain if you do make changes. I think before anyone complains, they should have to be apart of the process, that makes decisions about such issues. Too many people trying to be important, instead of useful…. $.02
So many people mad. But if something did happen, and it came out that the city wasn’t following protocol… I imagine it’d be an even bigger issue.
Hello everyone! Those complaining, I encourage you all to fully research, and ask the right individuals, as to why the move was made!! Just because it's been done a certain way or at a certain location for many years, doesn't mean that that rules don't change! Just because there's never been an incident in the past, doesn't mean it can't happen!! Look at what happened in Clear Lake, a few years ago...., that's why they are called accidents!! And, for those concerned about pets being bothered by the noise, I would reach out to your pets caregiver(vet), about solutions, to help soothe them. I live in the country, with livestock, and we have a radio, in the barn playing 24/7, along with taking them on trailer rides, and putting them in outdoor pens, and creating extra noises, so that way when we show them at various events they are accustomed to the loud noises!! One might ask, why do you expose them to abnormal noises, well it's so they are familiar with strange noises, to protect the safety of others!!!

SEEKING GRANT: The Albert Lea City Council recently approved a $4.25 million grant application to the Minnesota Housing Agency to help finance a $17 million project downtown. An investment firm called Rebound Partners of Northfield, Minn., is hoping to redevelop the entire 300 block of S. Broadway Ave. The grant would go toward a 4-story, 62-unit workforce housing project that would encompass the former Broadway Theater, two vacant lots, National Vitality Center and former Wood Grains building. The city would need to match the grant with $2.13 million, which can include the $658,000 the city has already spent on demolition of two hazardous buildings, establishing tax increment financing and some site corrections. The city expects to hear on the grant by mid-August. In a separate project, Rebound Partners plans to historically rehab the Wedge-Jones building at 302 S. Broadway Ave. For more information, watch the April 22 meeting on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQHuXh_AAo0. ... See MoreSee Less
