Motorcyclist dies in crash on Hwy. 36 in Little Canada
A motorcyclist died Wednesday afternoon in a crash on Hwy. 36 in Little Canada.
Emilio Reyes Miller, 45, was heading east on Hwy. 36 and approaching I-35E about 3 p.m. when he rear-ended a car that was stopped in traffic in the right lane, the State Patrol said.
Miller, of Roseville, was pronounced dead at the scene. The patrol did not say if he was wearing a helmet.
Two women in the car Miller hit were not hurt, the patrol said.
The eastbound lanes of Hwy. 36 were closed for a few hours following the crash and led to long commutes for many drivers who diverted to I-94.

Goodman started the job Monday after what Hjelle called a rigorous, thorough months-long interview process. A city spokesman said the position was posted to the city job board on May 23; the application period closed June 13; first-round interviews were done in mid-July and finalists were interviewed in mid-August.
Goodman said she first heard about the position when someone sent her the job posting, and then went through a months-long process with multiple interviews. In fact, she first applied to be the director of Animal Care & Control, and was one of two finalists, but didn’t get the job, she said. She did, however, previously land a six-week, $5,000 contract with the City Clerk’s Office for training council members on “best practices for agenda-setting and chairing committees,” according to a city spokesman.
While some speculated on social media that Mayor Jacob Frey handpicked her for the new job, Goodman denied that. Asked whether she’d ever talked to Frey about the position before being hired, Goodman said, “I don’t believe so.”
Frey released a statement saying Goodman is an excellent choice for the position because there are few people who have the “pedigree she does in building public-private partnerships to get big things done.”
“I am proud to have her join our team,” he said.
Goodman said she left the council because she said she was stressed about the state of the world and “done having people bad-mouth me on social media.”
‘Tis the season to watch something spooky.
For the last decade, I’ve spent the month of October ping-ponging between my couch and the cinema, marathoning horror movies in the run up to my favorite holiday. We call it “The Halloween List” and on occasion I’ve shared my autumnal advent calendar with readers of the publications where I work, most recently in 2018.
That was also around the time we reached peak TV. And in the years since, I’ve added shows like “Stranger Things” and “The Haunting of Hill House” to the list.
Of course, there are a few rules to composing these lists. Here they are:
Every day features a different horror, thriller or mystery movie or TV show.
Sundays are for themed double features. This year, the wife and I are watching a pair of Spanish zombie movies, two ‘50s B-horror classics, exploring Ridley Scott’s “Alien” universe and embarking on what we’ve decided is a dimension-hopping adventure through the cinematic universe spawned by George A. Romero’s “Night of the Living Dead.”
We always end the month with a movie from the “Halloween” franchise.
Finally: the calendar is more of a guideline than a rule. Sometimes life happens and we don’t get to the movie of the day. We either drop it from the list or move it to next year.
