Today on Chatabout, Beltrami County Solid Waste Administrator Brian Olson is here to talk trash, with updates on Thanksgiving holiday hour changes, as well as recurring issues with battery recycling as well as a new initiative to prevent dumping and littering on our lakes ahead of this hardwater ice-fishing season.

As we are in the midst of the changing of the guard with our beloved Todd Haugen’s retirement, News Director Larissa Donovan has taken the reins of the show, with our everywhere man Kev Jackson stepping up as co-host!

On tomorrow’s show, we’ll visit with Sanford Health’s Native American Community Advocate Rebekah Fineday to discuss Native American Heritage Month, and some of the initiatives Sanford has when it comes to American Indian health. That’s on Chatabout tomorrow, at about 12:15 p.m.

Our show today was sponsored by the Bemidji Chrysler Center, by the Beltrami Electric Cooperative, and by Higgins Heating, Air Conditioning & Refrigeration.
