Searchlight Pictures released its first trailer for its upcoming movie A Complete Unknown, featuring Timothée Chalamet (Wonka, Dune) as iconic folk and rock musician Bob Dylan. The film covers Dylan’s early years in New York City, and initial rise to fame in the 1960s.
The film is based on the Elijah Wald book Dylan Goes Electric! and is co-written and directed by James Mangold (‘Walk the Line’, ‘Logan’, ‘Ford v Ferrari’). Edward Norton, Elle Fanning, Monica Barbaro, Boyd Holbrook, Dan Folger, Norbert Leo Butz and Scoot McNairy also star.
An official synopsis for A Complete Unknown reads: “Set in the influential New York music scene of the early 60s, A Complete Unknown follows 19-year-old Minnesota musician Bob Dylan’s meteoric rise as a folk singer to concert halls and the top of the charts – his songs and mystique becoming a worldwide sensation – culminating in his groundbreaking electric rock and roll performance at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965.”
The trailer for A Complete Unknown opens with Dylan (Chalamet) performing the early hit “A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall” on a small stage, following an introduction from Edward Norton’s Pete Seeger. As he sings, the two-minute teaser cuts to shots of Chalamet walking the streets of 1960s New York City, romancing Elle Fanning’s Sylvie Russo (who is inspired by Dylan’s past girlfriend artist Suze Rotolo) and falling for Monica Barbaro’s Joan Baez.
A Complete Unknown does not yet have a specific release date, but it will begin playing in theaters in December, per a press release. See the trailer for A Complete Unknown – here.

He enjoyed family reunions held at Linda and husband, Craig’s, lake home on Maple Lake, near Mentor, MN. He was known for having a sweet tooth and a love for pop. Wally’s hugs, sense of humor, and love for Christian music are just a few things that will be missed.

Two Swiss bikers, Rita Staub and Simon Greuter, stopped at the Crookston Public Library to charge their solar-powered bicycles before continuing their year-and-a-half trek across the world!
Staub and Greuter are traveling with a solar tandem recumbent bike. They started the trip in their home country of Switzerland and have been worldwide. “We started in Switzerland and bike through France to the coast; from there, we took a sailing ship to Mexico,” said Staub. “From Mexico, we were biking all up Mexico through the United States to Vancouver, Canada, and now heading east to the east coast, so yeah, a lot of nice memories.”
We asked why Staub and Greuter were in Crookston. “We are here now because into North Dakota from Canada, and we want to take the way to the Great Lakes,” said Staub. “We have been on our way for one and a half years, so maybe at the end of the year, we will be back home. We want to travel back home over the ocean on a cargo ship or a sailing ship, and it is difficult to find somebody who can take us.”
Staub and Greuter decided to take the trip to see the world at a slower pace. “Just to see the world or a little tiny bit of it. With the bike, we don’t disturb nature and the world so that our children can also travel, so that is the reason why we are on the bike,” said Staub. “The solar helps them charge the phones and laptops, but mainly for the little motor in the bike trailer. The motor helps us, it is like an assisted bike.”
Staub said it has been nice not having a timeline so they can take their time on the trip. “It’s nice to have the bike; you can go slow,” said Staub. You don’t need to hurry up because we don’t have time to be home, so we don’t have an endpoint time.”
Staub said they sleep in a tent at night and love stopping at libraries because the people are so nice and welcoming.

The City of Crookston will hold a thank-you/Retirement Party for Charles “Corky” Reynolds to celebrate our former City Administrator and his accomplishments with the City. The party will be from 2:30 to 4:00 p.m. on Monday, August 12, at the City Hall Council Chambers at 124 North Broadway.
Reynolds served as City Administrator for over two years and was also legal counsel for the City for several years before taking over as City Administrator. “It was certainly a different experience transitioning from just being legal counsel for the city where you deal with specific issues to being City Administrator where you deal with a broad spectrum of issues,” said Reynolds. “Citizens and council members expect you to know a lot of things in detail and that took a while to adjust to. I was glad to do it, and it was a unique opportunity, and it kind of filled a void.”
When Reynolds took over, he faced a lot of challenges, both for himself and the City of Crookston. “I liked myself to the little Dutch boy who stuck his fingers in the dike because at the time I took over, our City Administrator Amy Finch, at that time, left fairly abruptly, things were in a bit of turmoil,” said Reynolds. “My whole goal working with the council and with departments was to calm things down, get things on track, and I think with the help of everyone in the city, from the citizens, the council, the department heads, and workers, we were able to do that.”
Reynolds believes there are a lot of positive things in the works in the City of Crookston. “We had to get that base established. Many projects, including the Downtown Corridor and Community Development, are looking at a number of things, such as the industrial park and other potential ventures for the city,” said Reynolds. “We had to make some significant levy matters, but that got us where we needed to be where we are analyzing city infrastructure, roadways, and development possibilities, and it is time for someone with that expertise and that energy to move forward”
When asked what he would do in retirement, Reynolds responded, “I’m not sure at this point. We will be taking a trip to California to visit our daughter Paige and her family. They start school next week, and then we will do some traveling, but we intend to remain in Crookston. If there are opportunities to help the community in general, this is where I am from, and I want to continue to do that”
The retirement/thank-you party will be from 2:30 to 4:00 p.m. on Monday, August 12, at the City Hall Council Chambers at 124 North Broadway. The public is invited to attend.

The American Red Cross is experiencing an emergency blood shortage as the nation faces dangerous levels of heat and people head out for final summer travel plans. Since July 1, the Red Cross national blood supply has fallen by more than 25%, and blood donors of all types, especially those with type O blood, are urged to give as soon as possible to help patients receive lifesaving medical care.
Heat impacted almost 100 blood drives in July in nearly every state where the Red Cross collects blood – compounding other seasonal obstacles to blood donation, such as travel and summer activities. Together these factors contributed to a shortfall of more than 19,000 blood donations in July. At the same time, hospital demand for blood products remains strong. Blood products are being sent to hospitals faster than donations are coming in. Right now, type O inventory is so low, distributions of this vital blood type are reduced below what hospitals count on.
“It’s critical hospitals have both type O positive and O negative blood ready to go for patients in the most life-threatening situations,” said Dr. Eric Gehrie, executive physician director for the Red Cross. “Type O is especially important for victims of accidents and other trauma who are receiving emergency treatment. Now is the time for donors of all blood types to give and ensure hospital shelves can be restocked before any impact to patient care.”
The Red Cross is working with hospitals around-the-clock to meet the blood needs of patients – but can’t do it alone. To make an appointment, download the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit RedCrossBlood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).
As a thank-you, those who come give blood, platelets or plasma Aug. 1-31, 2024, will get a $20 Amazon.com Gift Card by email. For details, visit RedCrossBlood.org/Help.

One deputy was killed and two other deputies were injured Friday night in central Florida when they were “ambushed” after responding to a disturbance Friday night. Lake County Sheriff’s Peyton Grinnell said during a news conference that the shooting happened at a home in Eustis about 40 miles north of Orlando around 8 p.m., after deputies responded to a disturbance call.
Grinnell said at the news conference: “We went to a disturbance at one house – the initial call was for a disturbance – and then, while we were on that scene, somebody at that scene told the deputies they needed to go to the other house, that that’s where there was a problem happening.” Deputies saw what appeared to be a door kicked in, so they entered the residence to conduct a well-being check, when they walked into an ambush, Grinnell said, and were “met with a hail of gunfire ..It was a very violent scene”
The first deputy who entered the house was injured and trapped inside while another deputy was able to get out. Other law enforcement responded, and when they went to rescue the trapped deputy, they were again met with gunfire and another deputy was struck, the sheriff said. One deputy who was shot in the shoulder and did not require surgery, and was in stable condition early Saturday. A second deputy was shot multiple times in the armpit and stomach area and was in serious/critical condition after surgery early Saturday. The third deputy who was trapped inside the home, has died.
The rescue team involved tactical equipment to tear down walls in a desperate attempt to rescue the deputy who was trapped inside the residence. Once the scene was secured, deputies found multiple weapons inside, including handguns and long guns. All three suspects in the shooting were also killed, Herrell said. No official cause of death has been determined, however the sheriff’s office said their gunshot wounds appear to be self-inflicted.
Lake County Sheriff’s Lt. John Herrell identified the slain deputy as 28-year-old Master Deputy Sheriff Bradley Michael Link, whom he described as a five-year veteran, joining the sheriff’s office in 2019. Herrell said Link was a “good deputy,” and became emotional while speaking about him during a press conference on Saturday: “Deputy Link wasn’t even supposed to be there. He wasn’t even part of the road patrol unit. He heard the call go out, he went there to assist .. Brad, as our Sheriff’s Office family knew him, touched the lives of all who were blessed enough to work with him; his contributions and the impact of this loss will not soon be forgotten.”

A 5-year-old boy died and a second child was injured when a strong wind gust sent a bounce house airborne during a baseball game Friday night in Waldorf, Maryland. Waldorf is located about 30 miles south of Washington, D.C. and 56 miles south of Baltimore.
Officials in Charles County said that the incident occurred at about 9:20 p.m. local time at Regency Furniture Stadium in Waldorf, during a Southern Maryland Blue Crabs game. Several children were playing inside the bounce house adjacent to the playing field when a wind gust sent it about 15 to 20 feet into the air. The children fell out of the bounce house before it landed on the playing field.
A 5-year-old boy was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he died, while a second child was airlifted to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Emergency personnel who were stationed at the stadium for the game, trainers from the baseball team and volunteer first responders in attendance all began administering medical care.
The Blue Crabs play in the independent Atlantic League of Professional Baseball; the team said that Saturday’s game and all corresponding baseball activities were canceled. Courtney Knichel, general manager of the Blue Crabs, released a statement saying: “Our entire organization shares our condolences with the family mourning the loss of a child, and concern for the child who was injured. Our thoughts and prayers are with them all.”
Reuben B. Collins II Esq., the Charles County Government commissioner president, in a statement: “We extend our deepest empathy to the children and their families during this difficult time. We thank our EMS team and the Maryland State Police for their swift actions to ensure the children received immediate care.”
