Danish Ship The Danmark collides with USS Minneapolis-St. Paul
BALTIMORE — A Danish ship and a U.S. Navy vessel collided in Baltimore’s Interior Harbor on Sunday morning, based on authorities.
The “Danmark” was being tugged by a smaller boat when it smashed into some wooden pilings a couple of minutes after 11 a.m., officers stated.
The tugboat then pulled the Danmark into the U.S. Minneapolis-St. Paul, based on authorities.
U.S. navy personnel stated in a press release facilitated by the Baltimore Police Division that nobody was injured in the course of the collision.
“No U.S. Navy personnel have been injured and no severe harm sustained onboard USS Minneapolis St. Paul (LCS 21) when the Danish coaching ship Danmark made contact with the moored LCS whereas the Danish ship was getting underway from the Baltimore Interior Harbor Sept 11, 2022,” a U.S. Navy spokesperson stated. “The ships have been in port participating in what has been a incredible week in Baltimore for Maryland Fleet Week and Flyover Baltimore.”

Minnesotans dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Helene
(FOX 9) – Hurricane Helene’s destructive path claimed at least 51 lives across five states, and hundreds were rescued from flooding and damage. The aftermath left neighborhoods underwater and millions without power.
MacKenzie Stein from Minnesota is without power at least until Monday. She moved to St. Petersburg, Florida recently, and evacuated from her home before the Category 4 storm hit. Now, she’s left again waiting for her power to come back on in her apartment.

“Not even a month ago I moved there, and I got hit with a Category 4 hurricane,” said Stein.
Stein moved to Florida last November from Minnesota.
“When I went to go drive onto my road, my road was actually flooded. Right outside I could see when I pulled up there was about five or six cars stuck out there in the road,” said Stein.
Helene made landfall in Florida’s Big Bend Region with 140 miles per hour winds, with lots of damage on the Barrier Islands.
“Terrible. I’ve lived here since 1983. We’ve been here when other hurricanes come through. I’m actually from Minnesota, but we get down here every couple of months, and yeah, this is probably one of the worst ones,” said Paul Chadbourn from Minnesota.
Stein was relieved there wasn’t any flooding in her apartment. But now she’s without power and air conditioning, leaving her worried about her cats.
“I gave it a few hours, and then I got the notice that they weren’t going to be putting the power back up until Monday,” said Stein.
Mackenzie is hoping her power comes back on Monday. She also mentioned some of her neighbors stayed through the hurricane at her apartment complex.
Now without any air conditioning, they’re forced to find hotels after the storm passed through.
Helene weakened to a tropical depression Friday afternoon.

Minneapolis officials weigh new permit system for unlicensed fruit vendors
One option presented to some vendors has been to register for the state’s Cottage Food Producer permit, based on a 2015 law that allows people to “make and sell certain nonpotentially hazardous food and canned goods in Minnesota without a license.”
Chavez said that’s a step in the wrong direction. Such a permit would allow vendors to sell homemade baked goods and pickled fruits and vegetables, but still wouldn’t allow them to operate on city sidewalks or in traffic.
“People might apply, but it isn’t actually going to address the root issue that people are struggling with,” he said.
The issue is one of equity according to Chowdhury, who said some vendors don’t have the necessary knowledge or resources because they’re still new to the country. Licensing or permit fees become barriers for new vendors trying to become compliant.
“When it comes to folks that are immigrants, new to our community, that’s an incredible barrier. So if we’re going to do economic empowerment, that’s the barrier that we want to help resolve, and so I’m 100 percent supportive of waiving these fees,” she said.

Claudia Lainez, workers’ center director at COPAL, a Latino advocacy organization, said they have been monitoring the growth of street vendors across the metro area specifically because many are undocumented. She said vendors tend to be women because men, even undocumented, typically struggle less to find work.
