Employees at We-no-nah Canoe are used to working on boats. They don’t usually have to use them to get to work. The morning of Aug. 19, 2007, We-no- nah Canoe workers had to paddle to the Bundy Boulevard facility . The canoe finishing area and warehouse were underwater. So was much of Winona County . The floods claimed seven lives in Winona and Houston counties and damaged thousands of homes in the region. Dozens of roads and bridges were impassable as a result of high water, downed trees and mudslides. Starting late Saturday night , Winona County authorities began evacuating residents from Stockton, Elba, and campgrounds near Whitewater State Park . Areas of St. Charles, Goodview and Minnesota City were evacuated as rainwater rushed out of the bluffs and hills, turning creeks into torrents that washed away whatever was in their paths. Winona County Assessor Steve Hacken ’s office reported to the state in October 2007 that Winona County ’s flood-related property losses totaled $28.4...

September 27, 2005 | By Joe Newman, Sentinel Staff Writer When Lesley Brown got her first job out of college, she figured it was time to move out of the cramped house she shared with three other people. But finding something Brown, 22, could afford near the Lockheed Martin facility on Sand Lake Road was another matter. At $950 a month, even a small one-bedroom apartment was out of reach for the University of Central Florida graduate . At that price, she would have been spending much more than a third of her salary on rent. "I was definitely surprised by the prices," Brown said. "The market soared out of my reach." Finding an affordable rental in Central Florida is becoming a Herculean challenge. Two of every five renters in Orange, Seminole, Polk and Volusia counties spent 35 percent or more of their monthly income on housing in 2004, according to a recent U.S. census report. The bureau did not track Osceola County . More than half of all renters in Orange, Semi...

County planners see the 2- acre public parking lot on the west side of Marina del Rey as underutilized and better suited for an apartment complex . But a group of citizens has a different vision for the land along Marquesas Way near Via Marina, not far from Mother's Beach. In its place, they want the county to build a park - a use envisioned for the site years ago , but that never came to fruition as marina redevelopment plans marched forward . The parking area - Parcel FF - is one of several in Marina del Rey that the county Department of Beaches and Harbors wants to redevelop, but that requires a land-use change before anything could be built on it. The Board of Supervisors in February agreed to establish new uses for FF and other parking lots - despite community opposition - and on April 26 could vote to certify an environmental report for the planned apartment development . (The land-use amendments still require California Coastal Commission approval ). With the supervisors...

One day in August, 2016, the financier Carl Icahn made an urgent phone call to the Environmental Protection Agency . Icahn is one of the richest men on Wall Street, and he has thrived, in no small measure, because of a capacity to intimidate. A Texas- based oil refiner in which he had a major stake was losing money because of an obscure environmental rule that Icahn regarded as unduly onerous. Icahn is a voluble critic of any government regulation that constrains his companies. So he wanted to speak with the person in charge of enforcing the policy: a senior official at the E.P.A. named Janet McCabe . Icahn works from a suite of offices, atop the General Motors Building , in midtown, that are decorated in the oak-and-leather fashion of a tycoon’s lair in a nineteen-eighties film. During that decade, Icahn made his reputation as one of the original corporate raiders , pioneering the art of the hostile takeover and establishing himself as a human juggernaut—a pugnacious deal machine ...
