Hello?
Jay, this is potential just a second, okay?
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
You're in the Burke edition, right?
I'm in the Burke edition.
I'm in 1781.
I have a gentleman that's on the east side of the river.
Okay.
That wants somebody to give him a call.
Apparently he said that the landowners on this side won't let anybody through and he's
trying to get out?
For something?
He's what?
He's on the east side of the river.
Okay.
He's trying to get to his boat to get across.
Okay.
Because he's trying to take property out or whatever.
And he said the people in the Burke edition aren't letting anybody pass.
They're blocking it.
And so they can't make it in or out.
So the people out there can't get in or out?
Yeah.
The people on the west side aren't letting the people on the east side cross.
Okay.
And he...
Who's the person on the east side?
It's Doug Murfield.
Yeah, I know Doug.
And he left his cell phone number.
He'd like someone to call him.
Okay.
Number?
218-779-0767.
0767?
Yeah.
I will call Doug.
Good.
We're having a real cluster out here.
Yeah, I know.
And I can't feel bad for you guys.
Who am I speaking to?
This is Kristen.
Okay.
You have a badge, right?
Yep.
The radios are all going in.
Yeah, I know.
I can't copy anything that they're saying over your channel.
It's all static.
I know.
It's because of the dike walker stuff.
I suppose so.
Do you have a badge?
Yep.
The radios are all going in.
Yeah, I know.
I can't copy anything that they're saying over your channel.
It's all static.
I know.
It's because of the dike walker stuff.
It's because of the dike walker stuff.
I suppose so.
The problem out here is that they asked for volunteers on the west side in the Burke edition.
They sent people out to the point where they had enough people.
They had three busloads they turned back.
Five minutes later, Murph's got on the damn radio and asked for assistance.
And now we've got cabs and zoo out here.
So that's what he's saying.
He needs people because there's 150 for each one of those houses and he can't get any help
and now the west side won't let them come across.
Okay, I will deal with it.
I'll call them and I've got people here that can take over traffic.
Okay.
Thank you.
