Fitness Fever is back for the month of February, featuring some great outdoor activity locations across Polk County again this year. Polk County Public Health, the Polk County Wellness Coalition, and community partners and volunteers are excited to highlight this year’s outdoor family activities and the variety of active living choices available in the area. Outdoor family activities across Polk County will be offered every Sunday in February and are free for the entire region.
The month’s events kick off on Sunday, February 5, at the Sandhills in Fertile for the Agassiz Environmental Learning Center’s (AELC) Winter Fest! Come out for a variety of free activities at the AELC, located about one mile west of Fertile, off Highway 32, near the Fertile Golf Course at 400 Summit Ave SW in Fertile; signs will be posted on the day. “Once they get there, there’s lots of parking available,” Agassiz Learning Center Executive Director Wayne Goeken explained. “The Nature Center itself then will have lots of refreshments that people can partake of. There will be cocoa and coffee, and then we’ll have some campfires going, where people can roast some marshmallows, and hot dogs will be available out there.” From 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., people can enjoy cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, schmoosh races, snow games, and various activity stations! “One of the featured activities is the horse-drawn wagon rides, which runs from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m., and starts right at the Nature Center and loops around the campground we have out there. Other activities we will have available are 12 miles of cross-country ski trails and three to four miles of snowshoe trails. We have snowshoes and skis, and for that day, we’ll make all of our equipment available, free of charge, to the public,” Goeken explained. “All of the refreshments are free too, and we’ll have a bucket for free-will donations for anybody who sees fit to help us with that.” All of the ski and snowshoe trails will have guides, and experts will guide tours around the trails and give some nature observations found along the trails as a part of their Giving Hearts Day theme of “Accessible Nature” to improve the accessibility of nature to people.
The Fest will also have door prizes available for people to win every hour during the Fest. “We’ll have door prize drawings on the hour. We’ll have coat bags, T-shirts, and explorer discovery kits for kids when they’re journaling and exploring nature,” Goeken explained. “We have a number of items such as those that will be door prize drawings that will be drawn on the hours.” The first drawing will be held at 1:30 p.m., then at 2:00 p.m., and every hour afterward until the end of the Fest. Some of the activity stations include winter safety stations with the Polk County Public Health to teach people how to survive in the winter. Things they will teach include how to prepare a winter survival kit if they’re driving and how to dress properly if they are going out on their snowmobiles, snowshoeing, or cross-country skiing. Other stations will be inside the Nature Center, which people can use to warm up from the cold weather between activities.
If you have any questions about the Winter Fest, you can contact Stacy Erickson or Lisa Liden at (218) 945-3136 or cityoffertile@gmail.com with questions. This is the first of four events in the February Fitness Fever, with events scheduled every Sunday during February.
The next event will be sledding in Crookston Central Park on Sunday, February 12, from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. On February 19, the Crookston Sports Center, Fosston Outdoor Skating Rink located at the Softball Complex on the Northeast end of town, and the East Grand Forks Civic Center will have a free Ice-Skating Day. The Crookston Sports Center will be open from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m., Fosston’s will be open from noon to 8:30 p.m., and East Grand Fork’s will be open from 3:00 to 4:30 p.m. The final event will be at the University of Minnesota Crookston Wellness Center for a day of Pickleball with the Crookston Pickleball Club. Children and adults of all ages and skill levels are welcome and encouraged to attend these free fitness events. Connecting to the outdoors and remaining active improves physical health, mental well-being, and social connectedness. Also, it is recommended to dress in layers for all outdoor activities!

U.S. House of Representatives voted to remove Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., from the Foreign Affairs Committee on Thursday. The resolution to remove Omar passed 218 to 211. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said that Omar’s removal is in relation to past behavior the lawmaker has demonstrated, such as a tweet that was condemned by Democratic leadership as antisemitic and that compared the U.S. military with Hamas and the Taliban. McCarthy shared to Twitter: “She said Americans only like Israel because it’s all about the Benjamins. What does that say to other people around the world? It’s not right. We were right in our action and she can serve on other committees. It puts America in jeopardy and I’m not going to do that on my watch. And it’s fair in the process, unlike them.”
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy had repeatedly vowed to remove Omar and two other Democrats, California Reps. Eric Swalwell and Adam Schiff, once Republicans regained power. McCarthy rejected Schiff and Swalwell’s bids to return to the House Intelligence Committee.
Earlier Thursday, House Minority Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries said the vote was “all about political revenge” and called the resolution written to remove Omar “phony, fake and fraudulent.” Jeffries noted that Democrats immediately condemned Omar for her problematic statements after they were made and acted to condemn antisemitism globally, which Omar voted in favor of. Jeffries said: “This type of poisonous toxic double standard is going to complicate the relationship moving forward between House Democrats and House Republicans.”

The Memphis Tennessee police department said on Thursday that one officer is in “extremely critical condition” and a second individual is dead following a midday shootout at a local library. The incident happened around 12:30 p.m. when cops responded to a call at the Poplar-White Station Library in East Memphis. Police said the wounded officer was taken to Regional One Hospital after the shooting, while the other individual was declared dead at the scene.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation said: “The individual was pronounced dead at the scene. The scene is secure This investigation is active and ongoing.” The bureau said cops were initially called to the library around noon, and “according to initial reports, as the two officers attempted to talk to the individual he produced a weapon and shot one of the officers. The second officer returned fire, striking the individual. He was pronounced dead at the scene. TBI agents are working to independently determine the series of events leading to the shooting, including collecting evidence and conducting interviews. Throughout the process, investigative findings will be shared with the district attorney for his further review and consideration. The TBI acts solely as fact-finders in its cases and does not determine whether the actions of an officer were justified in these types of matters.”
The wounded officer and the dead man have not been identified.

James Gunn and Peter Safran gave fans a taste of what projects to expect in the DC Universe after taking over the helm of the film and TV franchise. Gunn and Safran shared plans for a revamped DC Universe, with five new films and five new series constituting much of the first chapter — themed as “Gods and Monsters” — in an eight- to 10-year plan to unify the DCU.
Several projects which were already completed will debut in the next two years under a a banner called ‘DC Elseworlds’ — meaning they won’t be connected to Gunn and Safran’s DCU. Those projects include Matt Reeves’ The Batman Part II (which will be released on Oct. 3, 2025); the upcoming Joker sequel, Ta-Nehisi Coates’ Black Superman movie, and The Flash with Ezra Miller, which Gunn calls “probably one of the greatest superhero movies ever made.”
Gunn and Safran will launch the revamped DCU with “Superman: Legacy” on July 11, 2025, which is described as ‘Superman balancing his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing.’ Also from the DCU will be the Creature Commandos animated series, a ‘Peacemaker‘ spinoff series titled Waller (featuring Viola Davis), a Lanterns series, a The Authority film, a Paradise Lost series (set before the birth of Wonder Woman), and a Batman and Robin-focused film titled The Brave and the Bold.

Will Smith and Martin Lawrence are teaming up for the fourth film in the ‘Bad Boys’ franchise, which began in 1995. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer is returning for the fourth film, as are “Bad Boys For Life” directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, with a script by Chris Bremner.
Sony Pictures confirmed the untitled ‘Bad Boys’ sequel is in early pre-production at the studio; and in a video posted on Instagram, Smith filmed himself driving to Lawrence’s house and after embracing at the door, Smith exclaims, “It’s about that time!”
The fourth film will be the follow-up to 2020′s “Bad Boys for Life,” which reunited Smith and Lawrence 25 years after the first iconic Bad Boys film was released. “Bad Boys for Life” was a box-office hit, grossing $426 million worldwide.
