What amuses me are some of the names people give their kids nowadays...male and female. I think the female ones may outnumber the guys, but...what ever happend to Bob and Tom and Sue and Laurie...? There's a news girl I saw on the local channel while surfing named Beret....isn't that a hat? Saw one at the store the other day named Mignon..isn't that a steak? Used to work with a gal named Cinamon....no comment. There's a female realtor here named Diamond.... :rolleyes: I'm already tired of Chantel. But, some guy names too,.. my old neighbors named their kid Finnegan...hey Fin!  :rotflmao: Other neighbors kid is named Fabian ....and there's one on the other block that is actually named Levi-Harvest, ya that's his first name.

I think her parents had to name her according to local laws or something, so they named her after a nearby small town. She was one of my favorite skiers back when I was skiing. Man, she was good. Blew 'em away when she won the Super G.

Gov. Goofy's revenge! Looks like we're off to a similar start with this terd Walz who was our US 1st dist. rep siding with the anti pipeline folks. No, don't replace it. The one that was put in back in the early 60's can continue to deteriorate until we really do have a disaster on our hands. Much cheaper & safer to run it down on rail or by truck on the hwy, right?  :scratch: Let's just see how miserable govt. can make people instead until they jump thru the hoops and barrels, becoming good little environmentalist bots.   :angry2:

Kaepernoscopy just won't quit......I say ship him outta the country. Then he can complain about THAT country's past history. The cowboy's and early settlers used Winchester guns, so Winchester must be racist because those people had slaves.......and the Ku Klux Klan burned crosses for their symbols, so all crosses should be destroyed, too....and all white sheets.  Makes about as much sense as his whining. Must need to get himself back in the spotlight. :bonk:

There are a bunch of these tools the media just has to keep in the public spotlight. Take AOC for example. What the hell has she ever done to deserve the amount of attention the press gives her on a daily basis? She's a freshman congresswoman for crissakes! She was a bartender for a few years and that qualifies her to be constantly quoted as though she's a decorated war veteran who served our country? It's not news anymore it's simply someone's socialist political agenda. Kaperdink, same thing. Passing records? Super Bowl rings? No his protesting is what's made him famous and some jackasses in the media are hellbent on seeing to it we know all about it.  :puke:

Who is really at fault here.  The people that buy their shoes.  One has been QB that hates this country but makes his money here.  Actually after Niki hired this fool last year their sales went up. :crazy:  I also heard that they are selling the one's they made on line for up to $2000 each pair.  What a con game they are doing.  Doesn't this firm get these shoes made overseas with virtual slave laborr :angry2:  So why support this company anyway.  Lot's of other shoes out there.  I try to buy all American all the time.  Not always possible but I give it a wirl.  Sure would be nice to deport Kaperdick to Afganistan and throw him to the Taliban and see what oppression is really like.  good luck.

Maybe this isn't so much a party for GOP donors as it is an opportunity for Trump to flex America's military muscle in a Soviet-style May Day parade (if I understand correctly what is being planned).

No, America doesn't NEED to flex, but Trump likes to flex, and we still have enemies who push our buttons.  Iran seems to have stepped up to the plate recently to see how far they can push us.

I think what needs to be rememberd is that other presidents have done this.  Way back to Eisenhower, Kennedy, and George Bush senior and one of the biggest was Nixon.  This is not new.  This is not a massive millitary parade at all.  Let's see what happen's and then make a judgment.  I hear the fireworks will be massive and there will be music and more.  The fly overs will be great.  We are honoring our military and our nation.  This is not the first time a president makes a speech on the 4th of July.  If Obama would of done this the media would of raved and covered it in a positive way. I would have also but that never happened.  good luck.

You guys go to a park, and "park money" is used to clean the toilets, pay the staff (OT), pick up trash,  first aid, etc. 

Is the money being spent by the park service different than what they spend on other large events on the mall?

Said it just ruined their entire nite and after spending the $25 per person ticket for rides.

That was the detail I hated most....working the fair. But, it was usually just 3-4 fights a nite and a bunch of drunken fools, no big gang fights/racial crap. But a week of doing that for 8 hrs every nite is probably why I won't even go near a fair now.

Now we have this huge thing the school system here is spending a lot of their budget on...special training and bringing in outside consultation because they say that Blacks and Somali's (And they DID say that) are receiving disproportionate  amounts of expulsions compared to whites in detentions, suspension's, etc in the school system, and it must stop. If there are 7 whites, and 3 others, and the others start the fights, you discipline the ones who STARTED THE FIGHTS. It's that two groups who are fighting each other in the schools (well documented) , but we discipline them more....WTH are ya supposed to do with them??!! Give them an "I participated" gold star??! This system here is so screwed up it ain't funny. We waste more money on stupid BS here than anywhere I've ever heard of.

So my Epson fax printer that I have been bragging about had an issue.  The fax quit working.  I thought it was the modem so I called my phone company buddies here and they came over and determined it was the fax machine that was shorted out.  I bought it in Jan from Amazon.  They wouldn't replace it so had to call Epson.  I am a Saint.  I started the phone conversation at 9:15  Just got done with the 4th or 5th person at 11:25.  They are all related to Moojibar.  Couldn't understand squat.  I stayed nice since I was trying to get something out of them.  Each one wanted to troubleshoot the situation as they are looking at a card in front of them.  Finally they gave me female Moojibar who was a little easier to understand and is their superior or something.  The phone connection kept dropping.  I think they just do that if it is not an easy call for them.  SO they are sending me a new fax printer and at the end said they don't need a credit card just throw the old one away.

Truth be told...  I shouldn't blame Lisa Meadows.  I'm sure she was coached (required) to say exactly what she said and for as many times as she said it.

The consultants and analysts and the bosses and the lawyers have ruined local TV news.

As for "Polar Vortex..."  That one has been around for a couple of years and the term has become old hat.  Since we are desensitized to the dangers of Polar Vortex by now, the Wedder Morjit Consultants will come up with something even more terrible sounding.

I know. Polar Vortex was worn out years ago. I heard "Atmospheric tornado".....it's a T'nado that doesn't touch ground. Uh....aren't they ALL atmospheric tornadoes :confused:?!

If you want some really great ones, then you know James Thurber was a master of them. I'm fortunate to have some first edition books of his. Maybe they should use a few of his.....His wordplay cracks me up. A partial look at some....my favorite is pussgrapple.  :rotflmao:

An excerpt from a review of his books..


PUSSGRAPPLE. A bickering or minor disturbance; an argument or dispute among effeminate men. Also, less frequently, a physical struggle between, or among, women.”

BLESSGRAVY. A minister or cleric; the head of a family; one who says grace. Not to be confused with praisegravy, one who extolls a woman's cooking, especially the cooking of a friend's wife; a gay fellow, a flirt, a seducer. Colloq., a breakvow, a shrugholy.

FUSSGRAPE. 1. One who diets or toys with his food, a light eater, a person without appetite, a scornmuffin, a shuncabbage. 2. A man, usually American, who boasts of his knowledge of wines, a smugbottle.

And there are such other expressive coinages as Kissgranny,  Cussgravy, Bassgrave, and Hossgrace. All of these comic compounds show Thurber's interest in remaking language, playing with the relationship between sound and meaning, pushing back the limits of the familiar, and transforming the terrain into something strange and new.
Title: Re: What next?!
Post by: Rebel SS on July 07/30/19, 03:08:58 PM
I'd like to know why CAWchester has their nozzle stuck so far into this...the Elk Run land, is in Goodhue county, Pine Island, with only a tiny portion of it entering into Olmsted County. (CAWchester is Olmsted cty) So why is it being brought into a city council meeting?!





Prairie Island Indian Community’s plans for Elk Run land address concerns, offer opportunities
 
 


Leaders from Rochester and the Prairie Island Indian Community met face-to-face Monday to discuss Prairie Island's plan to convert 1,200 acres of Elk Run into tribal land.

“It answered a lot of questions,” said Rochester City Council Member Shaun Palmer, speaking to Tribal President Shelley Buck, who gave a 20-minute presentation on the tribe and its plans for the Elk Run land near Pine Island.

Palmer was among City Council members who sought more information regarding Prairie Island's request for support of a potential Congressional designation giving the land reservation status.


Council Member Nick Campion also indicated the added information was helpful.

“I realize sometimes it feels like one more step along the way, but it’s also good to get this additional information,” he said. “It makes it easier for the community to understand what’s happening.”

The effort to extend the tribe’s reservation land will create additional housing for its membership.

Prairie Island has used up most of its current land. A little more than 200 of the tribe’s 1,030 enrolled members live on the reservation along the Mississippi River near Red Wing, according to Buck.

“We can’t expand any further in residential lots,” she said, noting another 150 are on a waiting list for 1-acre residential lots.

She said the current reservation is limited by three factors: a risk of flooding, a nearby nuclear plant and an active rail line. All three pose threats, she added.

The flooding stems from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers construction of Lock and Dam No. 3 in 1938. The infrastructure flooded acres of existing tribal land and put other land in a floodplain, making it unusable for most construction.

The proximity to Xcel Energy’s Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant also makes housing a challenge.

“A lot of the younger kids don’t want to live near the nuclear power plant or deal with flooding every year,” Buck said.

The third challenge is an increased amount of rail traffic through the area. The rail line crosses the only road providing access to the reservation. Rail-line freight includes frequent loads of crude oil, which adds to potential challenges.


Buck said the acres near Pine Island — part of the failed Elk Run development — provide a prime opportunity to expand the tribe’s supply of land and attract members who want to return to the area. The land meets federal requirements by being within 50 miles of the original reservation and is within the 1,500-acre limit.

Placing the land into federal trust allows the tribe to access federal government programs while maintaining its right to govern the land as its own civil jurisdiction.

Buck said the land will also offer the tribe options for future diversification of its economic portfolio.

While the tribe’s casino, Treasure Island, has helped it become self sufficient and fund programs from family services and health care to law enforcement, she said it’s important to find other income sources, which could be built on the new land.

“We don’t want to compete with anyone,” she said, previously noting that includes the tribe’s existing gaming operations. “We want to help build this area and make it better.”

So far, the tribe has received written support from Olmsted and Goodhue counties, Pine Island and Oronoco, as well as Xcel Energy.

Rochester City Council President Randy Staver said he expects Rochester will be added to the list on Aug. 5, when the council revisits a request for a resolution supporting the tribe.

“I expect it will fly through this time,” he said.

Welp, as HD would say, I dropped into my most hated store, Sly-vee, home of the rip off, becuz they had my favorite thick-sliced bacon on a super sale for $2.49 lb. Had to stock up freezer when the chance presents itself! Sale started yday morn, as the sales around here are..on Wednesdays. Stopped in at 1:00 PM.....couldn't find it, just Hy-vee brand for a buck more. I asked where it was, "Oh we ran out"... I blasted the guy that the sale just started that morning!!!  :angry2:  "We'll substitute the Hy-vee brand, only a dollar more...THIS is why I hate that place! It's always the bait and switch crap, and over priced. I walked out.
They've done that crap many, many time. That's why I quit going.Someone oughtta step on their toes legally for that crap. So I run over to my Mom 'n Pops butcher shop, where really nice looking 8 oz ribeyes were on sale for $3.99 each. Cooler where they were was swarming with people.Some fat Bovine grabbed a huge  a pile of 'em in the case, leaving about four.....%$#@
I aksed Rob if he had any more coming out..."Ya, about 400, Mark...ya want all of 'em?"  :rotflmao: They keep up on demand like a good store should. Four of Sly-vee's 4 oz 85/15 hamburger patties were SIX BUCKS...I just got my tube of it for $2.39 at Fareway!!!!!
 That's $6 a lb!  That place is insane.

(I did manage to get the very last 8 pkgs at Fareway, they're now closed.  :undecided:)

Yup, I pretty much avoid Sly Vee as much as possible. One in Owatonna is crowded and full of old people like me! Once in a while they have Crown on sale for a competitive price but they're a HS place to buy gin!  :rotflmao:

With the local grocery & meat market here and Fareway in Owatonna open when the meat market isn't, there's no reason to purchase meat at Sly Vee.  :happy1:

Here is something about Hy Vee that most people don't know about.  The only choice beef they have is in the service case period.  All of the rest in their regular meat case is Select. Same stuff that Walmart got.  They give it a fancy name but it's crap.  In general they have a nice store with some things other grocery stores don't have like making things on the spot to eat and the service is good.  But as far as the beef, Forget it.  Ya i see their ads and you have to be careful what you are buying as far as beef.  Cub last weekend had a three day sale on Farmland bacon for 2.99 ea. for 16 oz.  good luck.

Didn't look like the proverbial "pigger blade steak".

Gee, this is no surprise to me......heck, I'd like more land too...can I put in a request?  :confused:


TRIBE’S REQUEST GRANTED

After a month’s delay, the Rochester  City Council offered unanimous support for granting a request from the Prairie Island Indian Community.

The approval came without comment, a week after Tribal President Shelley Buck attended a City Council meeting to discuss the request to support efforts to convert 1,200 acres of Elk Run area into tribal land.


Putting the land into a federal trust will extend the tribe’s reservation land and create additional housing for its membership.

Current reservation land is limited. A little more than 200 of the tribe’s 1,030 enrolled members live on the reservation along the Mississippi River near Red Wing, according to Buck. More land is needed.

The Prairie Island Indian Community is in the process of drafting a congressional request for placing the land in trust.

Hy-Vee Warns of Security Problem with Credit Card Readers

August 15, 2019 09:00 AM

WEST DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - An Iowa-based grocery store chain is warning customers about what it says is a security issue involving payment card systems.
   
Hy-Vee said in a news release Wednesday that it launched an investigation after it detected unauthorized activity on some of its payment processing systems - activity that the company thinks has stopped.
   
The investigation focused on card payments at Hy-Vee restaurants, fuel pumps and drive-thru coffee shops.  Company officials think the problem doesn't involve payments systems used inside its grocery stores, drugstores and convenience stores. They use encryption technology for processing card transactions.
   
Hy-Vee intends to notify customers when it can share specific timeframes and locations that may have been involved in security breaches.
   
The company is based in West Des Moines and operates more than 240 retail stores in eight Midwestern states: Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, South Dakota and Wisconsin.

Sounds like their business has been bad for several years.   Between the bakeries at your fave, Sly Vee and Places like Daubes...competition.   Throw in the Broadway thing...

I don't think DMC had that much to do with it.   
Title: Re: What next?!
Post by: Rebel SS on August 08/17/19, 05:52:50 AM
I suggest you go talk to Mike at length in person, Delmar. He said last year when I was talking to him the "DMC thing" was THE major killer, with the Broadway renovation gonna kill him in taxes and cut off his access to broadway. Big article in paper about that. I was on THAT Committee and tried to stop it and was involved with him in it. So, go to yer favorite Sly-vee and get baked, then  frozen then thawed bakery junk, because no one will work nights anymore. My buddy was the head baker there for 20 years. That's why he quit and now heads up the school food program. 
Title: Re: What next?!
Post by: delcecchi on August 08/17/19, 07:52:04 AM
I don't associate the Broadway stupidity with DMC, but it sure could have gotten lumped in with that mess.   And it is true there is more competition in the bakery biz than there used to be.

The reason us63 got rerouted was so the city could get the cars off Broadway.

It had to be. No one goes near the dam, because it's kind of in a "corner" right where the lake ends. Also a steel cable with orange flags and pylons runs entire length of it about 100' in front of it.

Sad to see her passing.  I watched her shows back then.  On that fake chicken nuggets, I saw that there was a big line waiting for them and they sold out.  One thing about the fake meats is if you read the ingredients you would not want to eat it.  Probably tastes good and folks think it's much more healthier but they are not in my opinion.  i'll take the real thing any time.  I ordered a veggie burger once at a resturant just to see how they were.  Try anything once I say.  That was the worst burger I have ever had.  good luck.

When working at St. Marys Hospital, there was a vendor for the then new veggie burger things set up in the cafeteria. We were the "taste testers". Big, tough security guys.  :police:
They gave you a burger and a sheet to fill out about the taste, texture, etc, etc.
I wouldn't have fed that to my dog Scruffy, and he was smart enough he'd of spit it out, too. RIP, buddy.
I told them they might make a great pothole filler come Spring.   :puke:

Again....it just makes me sick.

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/multiple-people-injured-roaming-shooter-odessa-texas-police-say-n1048656

What also makes me sick, is Joyce Vance, a former US Attorney, breaks into the live news and starts yammering about how the "Officers involved will react to the situation"..Oh, you've been there, done that? A SWAT expert! She then moved quickly to (and this is verbatim) states that "it's imperative we find out what type of weapon the shooter used; was it a semi-automatic with a high capacity clip, or did they reload fast enough to shoot the twenty people".... are you kidding??!?!?!?!?   :doah:
Let's not focus on the issue, but the TYPE of weapon used...and yes, unless it was a revolver it WAS a semi-automatic....and yes, if it held more than 14 rds, it WAS a high capacity clip...instead of focusing on the issue/people hurt, she has to dial in on what WEAPON was used. I think all these female know-it-alls should NOT be allowed to use the phrase "semi-automatic', or "High capacity clip" at any time, because I'll bet my azz they don't know a semi-auto from a cap and ball. A guy in a car plows into a group of people, do they focus on the make, model of vehicle, and if it was a stick shift or automatic? Who the hell cares, and what does it matter?! Get to the heart of the matter and find out WHY the person acted the way they did, why did it happen, NOT with what they used!!!! Try to stop the problem; not hype up the weapons debate!!!!!!!!!!  CRIPES!!! :angry2:

I'm sure that you calling it a clip instead of a magazine was just an inadvertent slip of the fingers......
Title: Re: What next?!
Post by: Rebel SS on August 08/31/19, 08:29:54 PM
IT IS A CLIP.  A MAGAZINE is the part of the weapon that accepts the clip. 


Clip;
Firearms

A clip is a device that is used to store multiple or numerous rounds of ammunition together as a unit, ready for insertion into the magazine or cylinder of a firearm. This speeds up the process of loading and reloading the firearm with several rounds at once, rather than one at a time into the magazine.

The Firearms Guide


Some curbstone jockeys call a clip that holds a large number of rounds ie; banana clip, etc., a "magazine".  My fourteen rd .40 XDm says it comes with two spare "clips".
And yes, the carrying case does say "NOT LEGAL IN CALIFORNIA". 
Title: Re: What next?!
Post by: delcecchi on August 08/31/19, 09:58:29 PM
Right in your definition...holds multiple rounds for insertion into a magazine...

However usage has gotten sloppy in recent years for sure.

Only thing I would use it for is to LOCATE a gun, and then go thru a dealer ship to get it...

Most of the times I have looked on there is as many dealers as private and most of the private listing say must have a permit to purchase or a carry permit. Mostly to cover they hinder I think. I have never bought from there but have seen some alright deals.

Glad we got out of there when we did. We normally come in on the west side so we missed all that excitement. When the concert got over there was a mad dash to get the hell out of there, vendors and fair goers alike. Amazing more people don't get hit at fair time the way some of them seem oblivious to anything and everyone around them.

CVS, Walgreens urge against openly carrying guns in stores

September 5, 2019

NATIONAL NEWS FROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS, TOP STORIES
NEW YORK (AP) — Drug chains CVS and Walgreens as well as grocery chain Wegmans Food Market have joined the chorus of retailers requesting that customers refrain from openly carrying firearms in their stores even where state laws allow it.

The announcements made Thursday follow similar moves by Walmart, the nation’s largest retailer, as well as Kroger earlier this week. Starbucks and Target have already asked customers not to openly carry guns unless they’re law enforcement officers. The retailers stopped short of introducing an outright ban because they say they don’t want to put their employees in confrontational situations.

The moves come after a string of mass shootings, including one last month inside a Walmart store in El Paso, Texas, which killed 22 customers, the deadliest in the company

Title: Re: What next?!
Post by: Dotch on September 09/05/19, 08:14:44 PM
Oh yeah, that should really help prevent those people contemplating mass shootings from doing it in their stores. I can just hear the thought process from one of these potential time bombs: "Gee, since their policy is against carrying and shooting up the place, guess I'll have to find someplace else." :crazy: :doofus: More like: "Hey, thanks! Now I know where there's a target rich environment with little danger of anyone returning fire at least until the cops get there. And as the saying goes, when seconds count the cops are only minutes away."  :bs: Just another butt kissing move to placate the masses who don't understand that more rules are not going to solve the problem.  :confused:

Title: Re: What next?!
Post by: Rebel SS on September 09/06/19, 12:53:10 PM
Ahh god....NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Didn't you read the laws?!   :banghead:



Minnesota is an open-carry state, but does not follow traditional open-carry laws. A special Minnesota permit is required to open-carry. You must have a state carry permit for either type of firearm, as Minnesota gun laws do not prohibit carrying long guns such as rifles and shotguns as long as you have a permit.
Title: Re: What next?!
Post by: delcecchi on September 09/06/19, 01:59:10 PM
So a person needs a special permit as opposed to the states that allow open carry without a permit...  aka Constitutional Carry.

Maybe, but I doubt it.  Isn't that what they are supposed to do; conduct studies and issue permits?

I wonder what federal law they broke.

That's fact...note it even says sublease was terminated. I've been saying for years they'd buy up all of downtown, and they have most of it now. Too bad they only want high-end and rich people in the town. Six luxury hotels built? Skyrocketing taxes and properties?   "Want 'em out? Push 'em out"....
Figure it out. Isn't too hard, if ya keep yer eyes and ears open.

With the upcoming single payer and medicare for all, and the expected increase in medicare patients even without single payer and medicare for all I can't blame them.  Medicare pays amazingly less, like I couldn't believe it, than sticker price for various stuff.  And the payment is a cram down since the provider is prohibited from billing any more than what medicare pays.   

So if I have a chest x-ray, medicare pays like 15 bucks instead of the sticker price of 100, or something like that.   

The providers can't stay in business with what medicare pays so they are all fighting for the cash paying, or private insurance paying folks especially the rich ones or foreign ones paying cash out of pocket.

Mayo's overcharged people for years compared to similar institutions for a given procedure. Why is med care in SE Mn so much more? Many insurance tables show that.

I see Albert Lea got a Medical Group from Iowa that is going to come up and operate a hospital/clinic there.  Good for them.  They are pretty upset about Mayo pulling out of there.

Yes they are upset about it Barry. They modernized the hospital in Albert's Leaf and built new facilities prior to Mayo taking it over. Then in a matter of a few years Mayo pisses on their leg, shuts a large part of it down and/or moves it elsewhere. They've also closed the door on many local clinics. Luckily Bugtussle hasn't been one of them altho the feeling locally is it's a matter of time and Mayo will $hit on us too.

Welcome the competition. Now it'll be interesting to see if the insurance companies pick up on it and can save us some $. Obamacare only made matters worse. Obama, Reid & Pelosi should all be tarred and feathered.  :angry2:

Well I haven't had enough gin to know yet ya little blue union thug!  :tongue: I can't blame anyone for the mess we have right now other than "The Three Stooges" mentioned previously. It's such a clusterf__k after they got done messing with it that god almighty himself can't straighten it out. Trying to change anything with the Dimocrats in charge of the House makes it nearly impossible right now, especially in light of some of the clowns they've elected. AOC? Ilhan Omar? Add in Dizzy Lizzy & Bernie over in the senate. They all wanna break the bank with Medicare for All! It will DOUBLE our taxes to pay for it. Try getting the Entitlement Generation to pay for that. If it happens, don't be shocked when they propose taxing your union dues at a higher rate to help pay for all these illegals' healthcare so they can buy their votes too! They outnumber union members anyway. Plus, union members are rank and file Dimocrats so they won't mind, right? Kinda like Gov. Timmy & the MN Dimocrats supporting the mining venture in northern MN. People don't need jobs. We'll just keep giving them welfare!   :rotflmao:

Title: Re: What next?!
Post by: Dotch on September 09/14/19, 08:40:21 AM
That's the assumption by the dimocrats I know tho glenn that unions are in their back pockets. Some big union towns like Albert Lea and Austin close by and lots of people from around here work there so I get a pretty good sample size. The two go hand in hand here.

Like you, I too am appalled that this dink of a governor continues to throw up roadblocks to keep people from having mining jobs. His farting around with the pipeline across northern MN is another example of how two faced he is. I saw him at the State Fair while I was in the Sheep Barn. He was doing a photo op and glad handing like he was agriculture's buddy. A lot of grumbling among the exhibitors to get him out of there before they threw him out. If I'd had a little more time I would've gone next door to the Poultry Barn quick to see if I could find some eggs to toss at the clown! As I've said before, there was a reason we were ready to be done with this jerk as our rep in dist.1. Now the rest of the state gets to feel our pain.  :rotflmao:

Post by: Dotch on September 09/14/19, 01:53:45 PM
I hear ya glenn. This notion that somehow clean energy has to conform to one set of standards is hogwash. In this area, first we had this windmill invasion that thankfully seems to have slowed. Ugly, noisy, cut up fields and noted for killing their share of birds.Those whose building sites happen to get in the shadow of those turning blades for part of the day say it about drives them nuts.

In their place tho have come all these solar farms that while less of an eyesore still raise questions about their economic viability and practicality, not to mention as you point out, what they're made of and what their waste products might be. If what I've heard is correct and a lot of the manufacturing is being done in China where that kind of thing has less scrutiny, it becomes out of sight & out of mind. I did have to laugh after one of the numerous windstorms this summer when they were picking solar panels and pieces of them out of the trees. Something else that appears to be an issue is weed/vegetation control. Some of the nicest giant ragweed patches on the planet were growing inside some of those enclosures. I told a friend of mine I should apply for a tree hugger grant to supply these solar sites with sheep to keep the weeds down, making it a "green", chemical free solution to the problem. He said it was stupid enough that they'd probably buy it hook, line and sinker!  :rotflmao:

VA screwup switching to new programs from old programs, and Mayo and Olmsted  wound up out of network for at least the time being.   The new program is just going into effect.   Sept 30?   

It has been pointed out on other boards that the reporter and the subject did not understand the VA programs.   Looked like an attempt at Mau Mauing.   Or just a cascade of ignorance.   

Btw the person on the other board (nextdoor.com) was not a mayo fan either.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Minnesota’s attorney general’s office says it has charged 11 people with defrauding the state’s Medicaid program of more than $800,000.

Attorney General Keith Ellison said in a statement Friday that the charges involve nine different cases. The announcement comes on the heels of an investigation into a northern Minnesota care center that bilked Medicaid out of nearly $2.2 million.

Among those charged Friday were 33-year-old Kaldeq Yusuf, of Hopkins, and 39-year-old Abdifatah Ali, of Eagan, who owned and managed Diversity Home Health Care, Inc. Also charged was Abdulahoi Yousof, age unknown.The company allegedly received over $400,000 in a scheme that involved stealing the identities of numerous personal care assistant agencies in order to bill for services that were not completed, as well as unlawful kickback agreements and outright theft.

Court documents do not list any attorneys for Yusuf and Ali.

15-year-old girl gets punched in face by man Saturday night


(ABC 6 News) - Rochester Police are investigating a large fight that allegedly broke out downtown Saturday.

Police were called to the 200 block of 1st Avenue SW just before 9 p.m. following a party at China Hall.

A witness told police a man who was kicked out of the party earlier in the night because he was “causing problems” came back into the party and punched a 15-year-old girl in the face.

The victim’s friend came over to intervene, and the man allegedly said he was going back to his car to “grab a pipe and blow” the girl down, which caused them to believe he meant to grab a gun and come back and confront them.

The man allegedly went to a car to grab something which people believed to be a gun, but police said no shots were fired and no shell casings were found.

Around the same time, the man went to grab something from the car, a separate incident occurred and a car was reportedly damaged by a gang of people.

At this point, police were called again, but everyone was gone by the time they arrived. Police said one was arrested and the incidents are under investigation.

(ABC 6 News) -Rochester, Minnesota

 Witnesses intervened Sunday morning after seeing a woman repeatedly ram a stroller carrying two children into a pole.

Rochester Police was called just before 10 a.m. to the intersection of 2nd Street and Broadway after the woman reportedly walked into traffic with the stroller and was nearly hit by a car.

Witnesses took the kids, a 2-year-old and an infant, until police arrived.

The woman, 26-year-old Beatriz Ortez-Garcia, had a couple of active Olmsted County warrants for theft and assault, according to Rochester Police Captain Casey Moilanen.

Garcia was arrested for child neglect and the outstanding warrants, according to Capt. Moilanaen.

A 29-year-old man, Bobby Cuellar, was with the woman at the time and cited for obstruction.

The children were reportedly taken into the custody of Olmsted County Family Services.

Boy, 9, takes wrong turn on Minnesota 5K race, wins 10K race instead


September 30, 2019

MINNESOTA NEWS, MINNESOTA NEWS FROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SARTELL, Minn. (AP) — It took 9-year-old Kade Lovell longer than expected to finish his 5K race, but only because he was busy accidentally winning a separate 10K race.

Lovell’s mother became worried when he didn’t cross the finish line of the Francis Franny Flyer 5K in Sartell, Minnesota, on Sept. 21. The St. Cloud Times reports she drove along the 5K route looking for him and was “bawling” when no one else saw him, either.

Kade says a woman told him to keep going when he approached the 5K turn so he did, despite his confusion.

Race organizers told Kade’s mother he finished in first place and she thought they meant in his age group. But he was first-place overall. His finished in just over 48 minutes — a minute faster than the 40-year-old second-place contestant.

(ABC 6 News) -- Eight people are facing riot charges after a riot broke out Thursday night in NW Rochester.

It happened around 10:30 p.m. on the 2000 block of 16 1/2 St. NW.  According to Rochester Police Captain Casey Moilanen, a 20-year-old man and an 18-year-old woman who used to date were arguing. They eventually started to fight physically, when six other people, many of them the woman's friends, came out from a nearby home and began fighting. In total, there were four females and four males ranging in age from 15 to 22.

The man said the woman punched him first and the woman said the man punched her first. Another man said he was hit in the head with a rock.

The woman was seen by a Mayo Clinic Ambulance crew, but was not brought to the hospital. The man who was hit with a rock was also seen by the ambulance crew.

No one was arrested on scene, but police are referring 3rd-degree riot charges to the Olmsted County Attorney's Office against all eight people.

Which tells me that you can't say ANYTHING anymore, without offending someone, and everyone will hop on the bandwagon to go after ya....but if yer a diverse person, you can attack back the other way, without implication, because YOU are the one that's offended.

Man arrested following stabbing in SW Rochester

6:45 pm
October 8, 2019
MINNESOTA NEWS, TOP STORIES
ROCHESTER, Minn. (KTTC) — A man is in custody and a woman was taken to a hospital after an apparent stabbing in Rochester Tuesday afternoon.

According to the Rochester Police Department, the 24-year-old woman, a Rochester Public Schools employee, was walking with students back to Folwell Elementary after a visit to a nearby park.

Police say the suspect, identified as 28-year-old David Daniel Galvan, was watching the group and approached them in the area of 18 Avenue SW, and Folwell Drive SW. He began swinging his arms and a bag. The woman put herself between the man and the students. That’s when police say the suspect stabbed her in the back.

Galvan then ran off on foot and was spotted running south on Highway 52 toward 12th Street SW. An Olmsted County deputy spotted him around 3:15 pm in the 600 Block of Memorial Parkway SW. He was arrested without incident.

Officers found a long pointed scissors in Galvan’s waistband. He was identified by a witness and taken to the Olmsted County Adult Detention Center.

Galvan is due to be arraigned on Thursday. RPD says its officers have had numerous encounters with him in the past. Officials are working on what charges he’ll be facing.

The victim was taken to Mayo Clinic Saint Marys with non-life threatening injuries. Officers say she was able to walk and even assisted officers when they arrived on scene.

Have fun.   I park in the driveway or garage.   On our street I am glad that almost nobody parks on the street, except for a couple workers at the group home up the block.   And the guy with the RV in the driveway and like 6 kids or whatever that park junkers on  the street.   Maybe that will get rid of the one that doesn't run and has been sitting there for a month....

Boy threatens to shoot multiple children


ROCHESTER, Minn. (KTTC) — A 15-year-old boy was arrested after police say he threatened multiple children with a gun at Elton Hills Elementary School.

According to the Rochester Police Department, the incident happened around 6:20 p.m. on Wednesday.

Police said this is the third incident involving this same teen and a BB gun this year. The others incidents reportedly occurred in June and April.

Police said the boy rode over on a bike to a group of kids playing football.

The boy allegedly told the kids at Elton Hills he wanted to shoot someone who was actually from John Adams Middle School and he then pulled the gun out of his pocket and threatened them.

Police said some of the kids said the teen then pointed the gun at them.

The kids reportedly left the scene, but returned when they realized they left their shoes there. Police said that’s when the suspect told the kids “the last one to sit down gets shot.”

Police said no one was shot.  A mother called police and officers took him into custody at his address. Officers allegedly found a BB gun in his pants.

He is facing numerous charges, including making terroristic threats, obstructing the legal process and bringing a BB gun on school property.

Judge: Minnesota drug siezure was illegal; charges dismissed

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - A judge says the police seizure of more than $4 million in marijuana and other contraband from two Montana men who were driving through Minnesota was illegal.
   
The Star Tribune reports that District Judge Timothy Churchwell on Tuesday dismissed charges of controlled substance sales filed against 31-year-old Michael Desroches, of Missoula, Montana, and 24-year-old Alexander Gordon, of Helena, Montana. They were pulled over last March on Interstate 94 in Douglas County by a Minnesota state trooper who said their vehicle had a cracked windshield and Desroches was weaving.
   
Churchwell ruled that the cracked windshield was sufficient cause to stop the vehicle but found that Trooper Aaron Myren lacked reasonable grounds to expand the traffic stop into a complete search of the vehicle.

Cub Foods also announced that while Minnesota is an open carry state they're asking customers to no longer carry firearms into their stores. They say this comes after customer feedback and recent tragic events across the country.

Are supermarket aisles racist?


Froma Harrop

My supermarket has a giant "international" food aisle dominated by Asian and Latino products. Which items end up in a section dedicated to a particular foreign culture's cuisine and not mixed in with the so-called American staples -- Heinz, Campbell's, etc. -- fascinates me.

Why, for example, is Cafe Santo Domingo on a Dominican Republic shelf and not next to Maxwell House in the regular coffee aisle?

David Chang doesn't see these placements as mere marketing decisions but as something more sinister. Founder of the Momofuku restaurant empire, Chang calls the "ethnic" or "international" food aisle a "last bastion of racism that you can see in full daylight in retail America."

I would disagree. I love the international aisle.

Chang argues that shelves designated for Latino or Asian foods are a kind of segregation from white America. Growing up in Northern Virginia, he recalls his parents shopping at two grocery stores, one dedicated to Korean foods and another a supermarket with an international food aisle.

Having that kind of choice sounds nice to me. But Chang says the existence of ethnic markets alongside allegedly all-American supermarkets told him he and his family "were never going to be accepted."

Come on. I don't doubt that Chang, like other children of immigrants, was subjected to hurtful comments. Unfortunately, nearly every recently arrived immigrant group gets sent through the wringer by people who were here before. Ideally, they move past the ugliness.

I'll take the food critics' word for it that Chang is touched by culinary genius. His high-style interiors are articles in themselves. Dining at his establishments can require two-hour waits for a table and end in an astronomical bill. One entree at Momofuku Las Vegas -- King Crab & Pork Belly Stew with kimchi, burrata and rice cakes -- goes for $72. I'm sure it's to die for.

However, there is a note of discord when an entrepreneur complains of racial segregation in supermarkets while running elite dining salons rife with economic segregation. The racial makeup of customers at his tables does reflect the realities of class in America. And so, too, does the racial makeup of his kitchens.

Let's go back to the international food aisle. Mine is not limited to predominantly non-white civilizations. There's a small Irish section with Lyons Tea and Hogan's Irish Soda Bread Mix. The shelves with Portuguese labels offer foods from Portugal as well as Brazil. There's another area for kosher foods.

And although spaghetti and pasta sauces have been incorporated in the mainstream aisles (something Chang notes), my international aisle has a separate section for imported Italian products, mainly the Pastene brand. It's a strange placement decision, in this opinion.

Supermarket managers say the international aisle is there for marketing reasons. It gives recently arrived immigrants one place to go for foods from the old country with labels in their native language.

Furthermore, many customers on the international aisle are native-born Americans seeking specialized ingredients to make, say, pad thai or tortillas. And for we who attempt fashionable fusion cooking -- which mixes ingredients from different culinary traditions -- the international aisle saves time.


Even if one dislikes the idea of an ethnic sorting of foods, where else would you put pacaya en salmuera, bottled palm flower clusters from Guatemala? What about Peruvian chulpe, dried, toasted corn?

Cafe Bustelo, designed for Latino coffee drinkers, has gained more widespread popularity. So you find a bunch of Bustelo products in the international aisle, and now there are some in the regular coffee section, right next to the Folgers.

Where supermarkets arrange items with foreign provenance obviously evolves over time.

International aisles are there for the convenience of shoppers. No offense is intended, and none should be taken. Get over it.

Takes lotsa motivation and drive. I started biking again with a girl friend before my last spinal surgery. She'd go about 3 miles after work. I could barely do one! Said that's gonna change! After a couple three weeks, I really got revved, and was doing 10-12 miles every day after work. I actually lost 24 lbs in a month and got into the best shape I've been in in quite a while. (sensible eating, too)  Kept it off until the next surgery two years later took away that ability to bike.
I really miss it.

Ya you are right Del.  I try to get some walking in but I get more motivated to cut firewood so there is a purpose.  LOL  I need to walk more too.   I am trying to eat more protein and less carbs which is pretty easy for me.

My experience is that exercise is helpful but it won't do that much to lose weight unless you at athlete level or marine basic level or old school baling hay all day.   

Makes you feel better though.    Backing off on quantity of food and drink seems to be most effective for me.   

And I also think cutting back sugar and potatoes and white bread type stuff is a good idea.

????   Exercise burns up calories....ya need to burn off more than ya take in....if ya consistently burning them off, you'll lose weight. But, ya haveta do a "good burn", ie; really  hit it hard for periods. I couldn't believe how fast it just came off me, but I went wide open in long bursts for that 10-12 mile daily ride. Averaged 22 mns and 20 some MPH to do that entire ride, according to the bike computer. Yer bound to lose weight doing that.  :tongue:

PS....the bike is for sale, Delmar...got $600? Think of the weight ya'd lose!    :smiley:

Notice the before picture has snow on the roof and the after picture has no snow. I guess it clears your roof as well.  I see it has a female pipe thread on the bottom, my guess is you have to put more copper pipe on the bottom to "make it work".

They sell an "extended length" version that "Gets down to warmer sewer air" for $99... :doah:


I just came up with a better and lots more fun idea. Put a grill igniter in the stack, with a remote button inside. Hit the button when sewer gas builds up, and *KAAFOOM*!
Also removes any pesky birds/snow around vent.  :rotflmao:

The wife saw these for sale.  We have had our vent freeze up before and she wants me to make one.  Supposedly it is below where it freezes and lets warm air from below keep this thing warm enough.    May cost $10 then.

That's what we did last year Barry. The main sewer vent is on the back side(east) of the cabin & all the snow that blows right off the lake will cover it for a day or so. Eventually a tiny hole appears in the snow after a few days but not before it freezes . We've found ice down at the bottom of it before so the brother just made a T out of copper pipe that's the right length & put in it. Seems to have helped. :scratch: :crazy:

He said he used 3/4", LPS, to allow more air flow. Could've used 1" but he didn't think the difference in price wasn't worth it. He took a tape measure up with him to see how long he could make it before it was too long. Then made it so it was just flush with the top of the pipe, one is close to 5'.

Title: Re: What next?!
Post by: Dotch on October 10/21/19, 02:25:04 PM
I'm with ya Reb. Here is where reports on studies such as this one should stop:

"A Mayo Clinic study shows consuming dairy products may increase the risk of prostate cancer. Experts say more research is needed to understand the strength of the associations."

In other words it could be a weak, a moderate or a strong association with many as yet to be determined variables involved. What it doesn't say is it absolutely without question increases the chance in all instances. Yet to read their headline that's precisely the conclusion many will jump to.  Whether it's intentional to try to sway the reader is debatable but you can damn well bet that in many cases like this it is. Otherwise how would they get people to read it? Furthermore, what's their definition of "high dairy consumption"? Conveniently omitted.

I too tire of Mommy Mayo trying to tell me how to live my life. They've been on a holy crusade against alcohol for quite some time. When I was going thru the annual Spanish inquisition they put me thru last spring the nurse asked me if I consume alcohol. When I responded with an enthusiastic "Absolutely!" I thought she was gonna piss her pants laughing. Shoulda pulled out my flask and asked her if she wanted a pull!  :happy1:

They were always on me too, about it. One of their favorite questions to discern if you have a "drinking problem", is ask "Do you ever drink alone?" I got so sick of that stoopid one, that one year when some new doc was doing things for my physical, she asked me that question.
So I answered properly:  "Ya, or with friends".... :scratch:   :moon:

Gotta make them fun.  Christmas movie drinking game.

If the main plot of the movie takes place in a small town, take one drink. If that small town is in New England, take another drink.
 
Is one of the main characters an outsider who ends up in that town by accident or because of an obligation? Drink up. If that obligation is a Christmas wedding, drink again.

Has someone lost their Christmas spirit? Take a drink. If they lost their Christmas spirit because their “love” broke up with them on Christmas, take a drink. If it’s because their “love” died at Christmas, drink. If it’s because a parent left when they were a kid — at Christmas — drink again. If it’s because they accidentally killed their brother while ice skating at Christmas, you’re watching a repeat of the Harry Connick Jr. one (“Angels Sing,” 2013), which may or may not even be a Hallmark movie, but it’s so good.

Speaking of … does someone die in the movie? This is rare and deserves four good drinks.
Are you OK?
Is there a love triangle? Take a drink. If one part of the triangle is a city slicker focused on a hectic career, take another drink. (Also, don’t get attached to him.)

If there’s magic involved — a magical stocking, magical ornaments, a magical snow globe, guardian angel, etc. — take two drinks.

If the primary male love interest is a farmer, carpenter or just someone who works with his hands, take a drink. If he drives a pickup truck or jeep, take another drink. If he wears flannel, then … never mind, we don’t want you to die.

Is the male love interest descended from royalty and he falls for a commoner, and his family disapproves but comes to appreciate her genuineness? Two drinks. (We’ll also accept “snobby rich people” in the place of “royalty.”)

Is there an African-American best friend or assistant? Two good drinks.

If one of the main characters is a handsome/beautiful single dad or mom, take two drinks. If the mom or dad is single because their spouse died tragically, take another drink. If that spouse died near Christmas time, take another drink. If the little kid from this union is a horrible brat, check your channel because you’re not watching Hallmark.
If the adorable kid in the movie is a niece or nephew, take two drinks.

“Magical Christmas Ornaments,” a Hallmark Christmas movie, stars Jessica Lowndes and Brendan Penny. (Hallmark)
Better eat some cookies, because it looks like you need some food on your stomach. That reminds us …
If a baking contest is part of the plot, take a drink. If it’s ice-sculpting, take two drinks. If the main character loses the contest, three drinks.
Does one of the main stars have a dog? Drink. A cat? Two drinks.

Are the main characters in the movie old high school sweethearts who drifted apart? Take a drink. Was it an ugly breakup? Juicy! Two drinks.
If there’s a ghost of some kind, take three drinks. Then email me to tell me the name of this one.
Do you recognize one of the actors from an old TV show? Drink. Is it from another Hallmark movie? Drink. Did you just Google that person? Drink. Are they Canadian? Drink!

Does the small town in the movie have a big festival, Christmas parade or holiday show for which they are famous? Drink. Is that festival, parade or show in danger of not happening this year? Take another drink. If it’s because of a blizzard, drink again.

Here's a couple I didn't see but are in all the movies.

Main girl or boy is torn between staying or accepting a dream job in another city or county.

After the old girl friend or boyfriend is out of the picture, there is a big misunderstanding and one of the two leaves town only to realize they f'ed up and returns for the big makeup scene.

Rochester Police: Mailboxes rummaged through, one set on fire



10:24 am
October 23, 2019
MINNESOTA NEWS, TOP STORIES
ROCHESTER, Minn. (KTTC) — Rochester Police said a mailbox was set on fire and someone went through numerous mailboxes last weekend.

This happened on the 5400 Block of Kingston Place NW between 8 p.m. Saturday and 10:19 a.m. Sunday.

When the one owner opened the mailbox that had been set on fire, there was burnt mail inside.

Police believe someone lit the mail on fire and closed the door.   (Reb's take: Duh...)

According to Rochester Police, there have been multiple recent incidents of mail theft, as well as people taking items off porches throughout the city.

Home invader hit over the head with car jack


A Rochester man was arrested Thursday afternoon after being hit on the head with a car jack during a home invasion.

Juan Vasquez, 27, allegedly broke into a trailer home in the 1600 block of Marion Road Southeast at about 2 p.m. Thursday. An adult brother and sister were home at the time, and were able to fight off Vasquez, including hitting him over the head more than once with a car jack, said Police Capt. Casey Moilanen.

Vasquez fled out the door, and managed to get into the running truck of a neighbor. However, he did not put the truck in gear, Moilanen said. When asked why, Vasquez told the owner of the truck he needed an ambulance.   :doofus:


Police arrived to find Vasquez bleeding from a head injury. He was arrested and transported to Mayo Clinic Hospital — Saint Marys Campus, where he was a patient Friday morning. His injuries are non life-threatening, Moilanen said, and he will be taken to the jail upon release from the hospital.

Vasquez is expected to be charged with first-degree burglary, fifth-degree assault and tampering with a motor vehicle, Moilanen said.

*NEWSFLASH*

(ABC 6 News) -- Rochester Police said one person was taken to Olmsted Medical Center Hospital with life threatening injuries following a shooting outside the KFC on 12th St. SE in Rochester tonight.

Authorities believe the injured person may have been in a vehicle at the time of the shooting.

This past June, the KFC parking lot on 12th St. SE was the scene of another shooting. Rochester Police said the 24-year-old victim from Rochester in the June shooting told authorities he went to the Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) parking lot that night to meet someone to buy "something."

ABC 6 News has reporters on scene and will report back soon.

UDATE: Victims at Rochester KFC shooting were two teens, police say

MINNESOTA NEWS, TOP STORIES
ROCHESTER, Minn. (KTTC) — Two teens were going to eat at a Kentucky Fried Chicken in Rochester when someone walked up to their vehicle and started shooting at them.

Rochester Police Department has released new information about a shooting that took place in the parking lot of a KFC in Rochester on Wednesday evening.

The shooting happened along the 700 Block of 12th Street SE a little after 5 p.m. on Wednesday.

Police said two 16-year-old males were sitting in a vehicle in the KFC parking lot when someone appeared at the window and started shooting at them. Officers believe there were no more than three shots fired.

Police said one victim was shot in the leg, but the injuries were non-life threatening and he will recover. Authorities said the other male in the car may have been grazed by the bullet but was not taken to the hospital.

RPD said the victims drove away and went to a relative’s house. The teen who was shot in the leg was taken to Olmsted Medical Center for treatment.

At the time of the incident, an off-duty RPD officer was nearby, heard shots fired, then saw the suspect fleeing on foot north from the location. Police said there was another vehicle involved that left the scene at a high speed, and RPD said it’s possible that the vehicle picked the suspect up at some point.

Police said three shell casings were found on the property and that there was damage to the vehicle from the bullets. Police said the shooting does not appear to be tied with the June shooting at the KFC, Sunday's shooting in NW, or the shots fired at Olympic Village on Friday.

Police said they do not have any suspects in custody yet.

Yes it can happen anywhere.  My nephew who is a cop in Duluth told me of incidents that happen even on 35W entering Duluth.  People stopped on the side of the road with a flat tire and a vehicle stops behind them.  Person thinks it's someone trying to help when actually it's someone telling them to throw their wallet to them.  They take the money and go.  Person takes their stolen licence plate no. and the perp doesn't get caught.  A security person at a Cub store I go to got stabbed trying to stop a shoplifter.  Nothing serious there with slight cut in the arm but could have been worse.  And I could have been walking in at the time armed and then what.  I often think about that one.  My mind I would have told him to drop the knife and to get on the ground.  That would have been the best outcome.  I'm hoping I never run into anything like this ever.  good luck.

i've always said and still firmly believe if a student athlete that gets a scholorship based on his athletic abilities to a free ride to college and doesnt get a degree or leaves early to go PRO........ that athlete should have to pay back the school the full cost of a scholorship.

Six shots fired in Southeast Rochester shooting
 Oct 30, 2019


Rochester, Mn.

Two people escaped injury Tuesday afternoon when a man shot at their car at least half dozen times.

Rochester police responded around 4:10 p.m. to a report of a shooting in the 1200 block of Turnberry Drive Southeast, Capt. Casey Moilanen said.

A 21-year-old woman and a 21-year-old man were driving on Turnberry Drive when another car quickly approached their vehicle.  An occupant of the suspect vehicle began shooting at their car, Moilanen said. Police declined to say how many people were in the suspect vehicle.

The 21-year-old man got out of the vehicle and ran from the scene while the woman, who was driving, stayed in the car. A male suspect got out of the suspect vehicle and started shooting at the woman's car again, Moilanen said.

Police believe at least six shots were fired. A nearby home was hit several times. No one was injured.

The suspect vehicle then fled.

The incident is under investigation, and police declined to release many details to "maintain the integrity of the investigation." Police did say that the suspect vehicle was located later that same day by Olmsted County Sheriff's deputies and was seized by Rochester police.

Moilanen said initial investigation indicates that the shooting is not random nor is it related to the previous two shooting incidents in the city.



                                                 #####

And they actually state the persons "color"....well, that's no surprise in the land of diversity.

Supreme Court hears arguments on changing lake’s name

November 14, 2019

MINNESOTA NEWS, MINNESOTA NEWS FROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS, TOP STORIES
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — The battle over the name of a popular Minneapolis lake has landed before the Minnesota Supreme Court.

Justices heard arguments Wednesday on whether the Minnesota DNR has the authority to change the name of Lake Calhoun to its original Dakota name, Bde Maka Ska.

The state Court of Appeals ruled in April that the agency overstepped its authority in January 2018 when it changed the name. It said authority to change the name rested with the Legislature under statutes governing lake and other place names.

KARE-TV reports Save Lake Calhoun attorney Erick Kaardal argued the legislature enacted a policy that says lake names that have been used more than 40 years cannot be changed without lawmakers granting additional authority.

It could take the court months to make a decision.

                                   ###


What I found on naming Minnesota lakes:


Most lakes are named after a feature. A sandy lake is often named Sandy Lake. A lake with a lot of fish is often named Fish Lake. A lot of lakes are repeats; there are 20 Mud Lakes in Minnesota.

Yet a lot of Minnesota lakes still don’t have a name.

Boulay (state climatologist) said you can’t name a lake after a living person, and you need the signature of 15 registered voters. The county board then votes on it, then the DNR Commissioner, then the federal board.

After that, a lake has a name, officially.

This happens one to three times a year.

“The best names are the ones that are generally accepted by everybody and they make sense with it,” Boulay said.

He said whether the word lake is used before or after the lake’s name depends on how big the lake is, or how it sounds.

The state doesn’t like apostrophes in lake names, because people often mistake them for islands on maps.

Parking rates set to rise again

Council OKs parking rate increase

It will cost more to park in Rochester city ramps and at parking meters next year. The new rates, which also include increases for contract parking, are expected to take effect Jan. 1.

Mike Barry says the 34 percent increase for parking downtown is hard to swallow.

“They believe that’s reasonable,” he said of the city’s five-year rate plan. "It's far cheaper to park in Minneapolis and St. Paul then down here".

People holding parking contracts in the city’s six public parking ramps recently received notice that their monthly bills will increase next year.

For people holding non-commercial parking permits, like Barry, the cost will jump from $125 a month to $168.

That’s following a $20 increase last year.

“This is on the heels of several years of annual increases that were also above the inflation rate,” he said.

Barry doesn’t live downtown, but he and his wife, Mary, contracted for space in the Third Street ramp approximately eight years ago because she works at Mayo Clinic and doesn’t expect to have employee parking privileges in the near future. At the time, he recalls, he paid $90 a month.

Last year, the Rochester City Council approved a schedule of annual contract price increases that will march that rate up to $288 a month by 2023.

The increased contract parking rates, as well as other parking-related fees, were approved to cover anticipated costs of maintaining public parking, as well as providing resources for additional parking options.

“Because municipal parking operates as an enterprise fund, the parking revenues must pay for parking operations, improvements and expansion,” said Nick Lemmer, the marketing and outreach coordinator for Rochester Public Transit and Parking.

He noted the costs were determined after rate study conducted by Walker Consultants under a $35,000 contract. The consultants worked with the city’s finance department and Lanier Parking, which holds the contract to operate the city-owned ramps.

“Financial policy dictates that the enterprise fund must remain solvent,” Lemmer added. “The rate increases adopted by the council were necessary to keep the fund balanced.”

Lemmer said the rate increases also will bring the monthly contract price in Rochester more in line with rates charged in other municipalities.


“Best practices say that monthly parkers get about a 20 percent discount from the equivalent daily rate,” he said, noting monthly parkers in Rochester have been receiving a 50 percent to 60 percent discount in recent years and the 2020 rates reflect a 45 percent discount on the equivalent daily rate.

The rate increases also come at a time when city officials, as well as Destination Medical Center Economic Development Agency representatives, are trying to encourage more commuters to use other transportation options -- such as bike, bus or on foot -- to get to work downtown.

Mayo Clinic recently announced it will increase commuter bus subsidies for employees in 2020 to help ease parking concerns, and it is working on plans for additional park-and-ride options.

The city has also been discussing adding to its public park-and-ride options.

Barry said his wife hasn’t considered the transit options, because they have a contract at the city ramp. He said he’s unsure whether the increased rates will cause them to make a change.

Following the last increase, the number of parking contracts is down slightly.

At the end of October in 2018, the city had contracts with 1,498 parkers. A year later, it had 1,465.

Barry said it appears to counter to the goal of paying for the facility, noting more contract parkers could keep ramps full.

“The 34 percent is ridiculous, and I think their rationale doesn’t make any sense,” he said, noting his payments have likely paid half of the $25,000, which has been estimated as the cost of building a downtown parking space. "This is no way to support people downtown".


Rochester increases cost of parking tickets

Starting Monday, a parking ticket will cost an extra $3. That means the cost of having an expired parking meter will climb from $17 to $20.

When ya bring in tons of unskilled foreign people just so you can spout "Look, we're diverse!", and they can't get a job, or find a place to live, because they've jacked up taxes and everything else so much, driven out anchor old time family owned businesses, what did they expect?!  Just wait a few more weeks until mid holiday time...you'll see the car break-ins, robbery's, holdups galore. Having lotsa burglaries in my area, and 3 years ago it was almost Mayberry over here.

BUFFALO, Minn. (AP) — A mother is suing a Minnesota school district, claiming it discriminated against her son because he’s transgender.

The lawsuit filed in Wright County alleges Buffalo Community Middle School repeatedly isolated her son from his classmates, limited his access to a suitable restroom and removed him from physical education classes. Woods wanted to use the boys’ bathrooms and locker rooms but was required to use a single-occupancy restroom and locker room that he says was difficult to get to between classes.

Matt Woods was 11 years old in September 2015 when he transitioned socially, physically, and adopted a new name. The Star Tribune says school officials have denied the allegations in the lawsuit.

Matt’s mom, Helene Woods, says “transgender kids are just kids.” And, that denying them access to the facilities that meet their gender identity is harming them.

Our view: Increase in parking ramp rates is too stiff, poorly timed

Nov 25, 2019
Rochester Post Bulletin Staff

There have to be better ways to convince people not to drive their vehicles downtown than to jack up parking rates in city ramps by 34 percent.

That's the percentage of increase contract parkers in the city's six ramps will face in 2020 -- from $125 per month this year to $168 per month next. And the increases won't stop there. The city plans to keep increasing the cost of parking until the monthly rate is $288 in 2023.

Officials say the increased cost will encourage commuters to find other modes of transportation, will pay for upkeep of ramps, and will make sure folks driving downtown to shop or visit a restaurant will find spots available in the ramps.

We have long supported efforts to convince people to make their way downtown for work without driving -- especially not driving alone. The traffic congestion, air pollution and parking situation are all problems that can only be solved by reducing the number of vehicles on central city streets.

We support development of an extensive, comprehensive transit plan that gives commuters viable options for traveling across the city. We don't think the city is anywhere near there yet. We also understand the complaints of residents of neighborhoods who find their streets lined Monday through Friday with parked cars, a problem that will only get worse with increased ramp fees.

Clearly, if the jobs promised by the Destination Medical Center project ever do materialize, the city (and Mayo Clinic) cannot build enough parking ramps to meet the demand. And not all of downtown can be paved over for parking lots.

Having said all that, we sympathize with those commuters facing sudden and steep increases in their monthly parking bills. The city's strategy might make sense. But making sense while making enemies is not a good approach. With the sharp increase in cost, the city is creating pain without offering enough solutions.

Planned transit hubs are still only in the talking stage, and too many commuters do not have easy access to a bus stop. At this point, they have few options other than to drive and park -- and pay.

In that light, we urge officials to take a second look at the fast-track rate increases. A slower rate of increase would be a more welcome approach.

Thanks Mikey. Gotta slowly get my ducks in a row. I just don't understand why the sheep here (sorry Dotch) can't see how they're forcing people/certain groups out when they publicly admit it. One big developer that sucks up to Mayo and owns half the town made statements to TV and the paper a few days back he wants the homeless people OUT OF THE SKYWAYS AND DOWNTOWN....direct quote. Maybe he should build some housing for them then.....
That drew a huge backlash, as it should. But, I'm done worrying about it. The place will self-destruct like Detroit did. Hope some of the sheep wake up in time to get out.

Just wondering....what do most of you do for groceries? Long drive to "big city" to stock up, or local markets? Or both? Always wondered that.

An article about the small towns and groceries in my area...


PINE ISLAND — When it comes to feeding her family of five, Stephanie Pocklington leans heavily on Island Market in Pine Island.

"Cereals, pizzas, beverages, snacks," Pocklington said. "Generally things we'll cook for dinner, like pastas and sauces" are purchased at the lone full-service grocer in the town of roughly 3,400 people.

Not that Island Market is her only stop. Fruits, vegetables and meats often come from Hy-Vee in Rochester. While the Sam's Club in Rochester is where she'll buy bulk items such as toilet paper, paper towels or dog food. She buys her milk at Kwik Trip and toiletries and over-the-counter medicines at Dollar General.
'We have to go there for more than milk or bread': How cities can keep small grocers in business
In 2018, Byron's lone grocery store, Byron Marketplace, was sold to Kwik Trip and downsized from a full-service grocery store — complete with gas station — to a convenience store and liquor store. In short, Pocklington said, she's got options.
Still, she admits, if her family needed to rely only on the stores in Pine Island, "You are definitely limited."

Limited Options

Grocery limitations are a common problem for shoppers in small towns. Cities ranging in size from Dover to Wanamingo to Lewiston to Byron do not have full-service grocery stores. And convenience stores like Kwik Trip or limited-service grocery options such as Dollar General only fill part of the need.

If Mazeppa's 842 residents need groceries to put dinner on the table, it's a minimum of an 8-mile drive to Nilssen's Hub Food Center in Zumbrota. Island Market in Pine Island is about the same distance, at 9.1 miles from Mazeppa's city center.

Mazeppa City Administrator Karl Nahrgang said people who live in communities without a grocery store have to use better planning and preparation.

"They may not go to the store as often as if they had a grocery right in the community, but they stock up when they buy, or they plan their grocery around trips to these other communities," Nahrgang said.

Things aren't much better in Wanamingo. The western Goodhue County city has more than 1,000 residents (1,086 in 2010) but no grocery store. Like the folks in Mazeppa, Wanamingo's residents find Nilssen's to be their closest store. The city's other option is to drive a little more than 10 miles to Kenyon Market in Kenyon or more than 13 miles to the store in Pine Island.

Brent Bosch, general manager for Sunshine Foods, which operates 17 locally owned stores, including three in Southeast Minnesota, said it's getting to the point where any town with fewer than 2,500 people can't support a full-service grocery store.
"E-commerce is ruining rural America," Bosch said, pointing to one of the main sources of competition grocers are finding in small towns.
The other players in the market that are taking a bite out of grocers' business are stores like Dollar General. Bosch said Dollar General, which does not have butcher counters, produce, full dairy sections or bakeries — the four store sections that separate full-service grocers from Dollar General stores — runs off a different business model, avoiding the high labor costs of delis and produce aisles.

Instead, it brings cheaper costs on canned goods, paper products, cleaning products and other items that don't require heavily refrigerated sections and specially trained labor.

"Dollar General comes in and takes 25 percent out of the center of the store," Bosch said.
At least once a month, he said, he fields calls from towns where a Dollar General has come in and driven a full-service grocer out of business, and now the city's economic leaders are looking for someone to save their grocery store.

Towns Going Hungry

Not that Dollar General doesn't have a place in rural America, Bosch said. Those towns too small for a grocery store are a perfect place for Dollar General or convenience stores like Kwik Trip.

Some towns, however, don't even have that much. A BP gas station and convenience store is the lone shopping option in Mazeppa, which has gone decades without a grocery store.
Nahrgang said that about eight or 10 years ago, the city made contact with a regional convenience store that said the town was too small, especially with that BP store as competition.
Not having a grocery store does affect economic development in town. Without a store, it becomes harder to draw other businesses to Mazeppa. But that's the niche Mazeppa fills for its residents.
"Small communities attract people looking for a quieter lifestyle and more value for their housing dollar," Nahrgang said. "To accommodate that, potential residents are willing to give up some of the amenities of a larger community. People moving to a community the size of Mazeppa would not expect a full line grocery store."

I try to support Wagner's, our local small grocery store as much as I can. Since I'm in town during the week, it's handy. Watch the sales along with buying their store brands when possible and it works. Next closest places are Waseca and Owatonna, both about 18 miles from where we live. Albert Lea is about 25 miles. We get their circulars as well or can look at the stuff online if we want. I rarely go to those grocery stores unless it's to get something we simply can't find locally. Otherwise, if I'm just going to one of the bigger towns to buy groceries, I typically can't justify it for what it costs to drive there. Plus, odds are I'll bump into somebody I know at the local grocery store and share a laugh or two.

Dollar General moved to town a couple years ago. They may have hurt the grocery store some although their selection is limited and many times it's no cheaper than the grocery store. I buy stuff there a lot of times that I would've bought at Wally World or Target, things like soap, toothpaste, deodorant, etc. There again, I rarely went to those places anyway unless I was going to FF. Which reminds me I need to go to Walgreens in Owatonna to get my prescription filled. Our local drug store recently closed so it was a sad day for the community. I always used their pharmacy and frequently went there to buy cards or gifts. More tearing around or going online and getting the wrong chit.  :sad:

I have had occasion to go to Wagner's since I drive to New Richland to visit my mother quite often. I have found it to be a very friendly store. Sure, any local business has to charge a bit more just to stay afloat but who gives a rip.

He's going to Mason City to Mercy Healthcare System because the Vets won't pay for the extra $'s for the same treatments at Mayo. Mercy has a clinic opening up in Albert Lea too.

They get all of the tax money and don't give back to the small communities. 

I do a lot of shopping local but we do go out of town to get better deals and just for something to do.  We do have a nice grocery store for a town of 1,100.  The same owner owns the one in Warroad too.  That may help.  Also lots of people from Canada come over here to shop too.  So our population draw is higher.

DNR investigating meat processor's venison sales


CIRCLE PINES, Minn. — A prominent Twin Cities meat processor is under investigation, suspected of illegally selling the venison from deer that hunters have killed.

Circle Pines Sausage Haus is the target of an investigation by the Department of Natural Resources that has lasted more than a year and reached into the lives of hundreds of local hunters, according to officials and documents.

While the case doesn’t appear to involve anything resembling a statewide black market, it touches on gray areas of the law of wild game processing likely not well understood by some of the state’s nearly half a million deer hunters.

An attorney for Sausage Haus’ owner said his client never intended to break any laws and believed he had been law-abiding for the past year.

No charges have been filed against Sausage Haus or its owner, and DNR officials were reluctant to discuss details, noting the investigation is ongoing. The probe has included purchases by conservation officers posing as customers, involved interviews with more than 400 people, and featured officers seizing records and building a database of more than 3,000 Sausage Haus deer-processing transactions dating back to 2017.

“It started as a complaint that a processor was selling wild deer meat, which is illegal,” Lt. Col. Greg Salo said in an interview, adding later, “It was established there was selling of wild deer meat occurring.”

Processors can charge fees for butchering a hunter’s deer, and preparing products like sausage can cost extra. But a hunter shouldn’t be sold more meat than his deer can yield, and hunter-killed deer meat can’t be sold to walk-in customers who tagged no deer themselves.

Over the course of the past two years, the Sausage Haus did both those things, a DNR investigator alleges in court papers filed last month.

Salo said DNR officers are likely to turn the investigation over to county prosecutors for consideration of charges in the coming weeks or months. Penalties for potential crimes being investigated can rise to the level of gross misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail and a $10,000 fine.

Some hunters who brought their deer to Sausage Haus have found their kills under scrutiny from the DNR. Salo said the vast majority have been legal, but some citations have been issued to hunters when investigators discovered, for example, that a deer was never properly registered with the agency.

'Not for sale'
At its core, the investigation is about the fact that meat from wild animals can’t be sold in America.

That’s been the law since around 1900, when hunters seeking profit from their quarry had ravaged wildlife populations to the point where some waterfowl were near extinction. A series of laws, capstoned by the federal Lacey Act, strictly prohibited the selling of the meat from wild fish or game. Wild game can be given as a gift, donated to programs for the hungry and served at charitable functions under some circumstances. But not sold.

Key distinction: Deer meat is served at retail operations and served at restaurants, but those deer were born and raised on captive farms, which are federally regulated like cattle and pork operations. Wild game processing is essentially unregulated — a private transaction between the hunter and the processor.

Wild deer products are stamped with the words “NOT FOR SALE.”

How it works
In Minnesota and across America’s deer hunting landscape, many hunters who successfully shoot a whitetail don’t butcher the animals themselves. And many who do still find themselves with piles of “trimmings” — extra scraps of the high-protein meat that begs to be cured as jerky or ground and processed into summer sausages, snack sticks, breakfast links or the like.

Enter the local meat processor, who offers these services. No figures were readily available for what proportion of the roughly 150,000 to 200,000 deer killed annually in Minnesota are brought to processors. Circle Pines Sausage Haus receives about 2,500 wild venison processing orders each fall, said John Price, attorney for Sausage Haus owner Matt Sand. Sand was described in court papers as a “main suspect” in the investigation.

Many processors, including Sausage Haus, accept whole deer, charging a fee — $110 in this case. The large cuts of meat — tenderloins, steaks, chops and roasts — are returned to the hunter at no extra charge. They charge extra for sausages and other meats, but those prices are supposed to cover the labor of the work and the costs of seasonings, fat and pork or beef that are usually mixed in with the lean venison, Salo said.

Some ballpark rules of thumb: An adult deer might yield between 50 and 70 pounds of raw meat; a pound of deer meat will roughly yield two pounds of sausage.

Sausage Haus processes commercial meat for many Von Hanson meat markets in the metro. It doesn’t appear any Von Hanson locations are implicated in the DNR investigation. A Von Hanson official declined to comment Wednesday.

The 'gray area'
Some processors promise hunters that the only deer meat they’ll get back will be from the deer they killed and brought in.

But others, including Sausage Haus, don’t make that pledge. Customers are told that the large cuts will be from their deer, but trimmings from many hunters get mixed together in the sausage-making.

“You get into a gray area there,” Salo said. But he clarified that the mixing of meat from different hunters isn’t the focus of their enforcement. “What we don’t like is to see someone with 20 pounds of trim buy 300 pounds of sausage.” At that point, they’re illegally selling wild game meat, he said.

According to a search warrant application filed by DNR Conservation Officer Christopher Tetrault, two investigators were able to leverage 12 pounds of venison trimmings into 130 pounds of sausage, with Sand himself at one point offering “If you want more, just let me know.”

The allegations
Sand should have known better, Tetrault alleges in the warrant application, which was signed by an Anoka County judge.

In November 2018, DNR officer had begun building a database of Sausage Haus’ records, which included invoices with a box to check if customers wanted “extra venison sausage.” Of 103 such invoices, 96 “indicated that the customer did not bring a deer or venison meat for processing,” Tetrault alleges in the document.

Officers at the time told Sand to stop the practice of allowing anyone to order “extra” venison, the document states.

According to attorney Price, the issue was that Sausage Haus often found itself with extra venison.

“The machines they have process these in batches of 300 pounds,” Price said of Sand’s operation. “Not more, not less. He has to wait until they get enough meat to make all that, and sometimes there’s extra after it’s all mixed in with. It’s called production overrun. ... Over the years word had gotten out, and some people would come by the business. But he stopped selling extra venison to people off the street (in 2018).”

‘Learning from this’
Price said Sand, whose father used to run the business, is an upstanding business owner cooperating with investigators.

“Matt runs a Class A organization up there,” he said. “What they thought they could do is ask people (hunters bringing in deer) if they want extra. It’s illegal to do that apparently. ... If the DNR comes back and says you can’t do that, then maybe they’ll just have to increase the prices. They’re learning from this. My client certainly didn’t think anything they were doing was illegal.”

Salo said that processors with extra wild game meat have a few options: Eat the meat themselves, donate it or throw it away.

It’s unclear how widespread it is for processors to allow hunters to pay for more venison than their deer will yield.

“I have a feeling a lot of butchers are going to be reading this article and learning about this,” he said.

But Salo said the DNR and the Department of Agriculture hold workshops with processors, and processors attending seem to understand the premise of one-deer-in, one-deer’s-meat-out.

But he wasn’t so sure about the hunting public. “It’s hard to gauge that, but I think it might be an eye-opener for some folks".

I never took a deer into a processor that mixes the trimmings from other deer.  I thought when they did this they weighed "your" trim and then you got products equal to what it yielded.  Apparently that's not so.  Looks like they just through it in a pile, make a pile of stuff and sell you whatever you want.  I think it should be a warning if you bring in a 50 pound fawn and get back 130 pounds of meat.   :confused:

I know there's a couple processors down here that will do that.....fact. From experience. Will grind and hold all their meat, then make the sausage, etc when they get around to it. You don't know who's deer is in yer sausage/meat. PO'd off a couple of my buddies so much they spread the word to get people to stop going there. Don't know if they still do it or not....

yes you can as long as it's been inspected the USDA or Minn Dept of Ag.    and all the lockers I was in weighted the meat from each carcass or package that came in and the people got amount back, plus the pork that was added of course..

Post by: Reinhard on December 12/06/19, 04:54:14 PM
I processed deer for 10 years out of my garage.  At the time i didn't make sausage but did grind the meat if asked.  those folks got all of their meat back from their deer.  now i only did 70 or so deer a year.  All boneless ect.  Now larger operations if they were honest would tell you up front that the trimmings would go into other hunters trimmings for the purpose of sausage.  The reason for this is something I could understand.

When you make sausage you have to make it in larger batches if you have a large operation.  But you should weigh the trimmings per hunter as processed and then figure out the weight of the venison vs pork or beef added.  This way the hunter gets the full cuts back from his deer and a approximate amount of sausage back or just ground venison per the deer he brought back.  That makes sense.  If you bring in a large buck you will get more and so on.  If you bring a deer to a place that does a lot of deer and you expect to get all of "just your deer back" you are dreaming.  Main cuts yes but sausage and ground venison not so much.  good luck.

So, if the guy that brings the deer in doesn't want sausage from the trim, I guess the legal requirement is that it is thrown away.  Processor isn't going to go to expense of making sausage out of it if they can't sell it.   

Seems sort of silly, but that's the law, I guess.   A solution is to increase the price and tell people "you get x pounds of sausage with this deer."   Or have it ground into the burger.

One of the problems is you might take care of your meat and it will get mixed up with someone else's who let it get too warm or waited too long to find their deer. The last few deer I have shot I have done it all so I know who's deer I'm getting. Plus it saves money.

say they add 30% pork so say about 20 pounds you would get 26 pounds,  and good question..   it depends on the percentage of pork or beef they want..  some less and some more..  and Rooney you are very right...  and Del you get back what ya brought in.. very simple..

The places I went to gave your own meat back to you, except for sausage and if you had burger mixed with pork or beef.  Too much of a pain to mix your 6 or 9 or whatever lbs of trim and try to make a batch of sausage with that.  You got all of your steaks chops roasts from your deer.  So the bigger the deer the bigger those pieces were.  If you shot up a shoulder it showed up with a little less meat.  When you asked for sausage or burger that always took a few more weeks to make.  So if 40 guys brought deer in and only 32 wanted to pay extra for sausage they divided up the trim to those 32 guys and made sausage out of all of it.  Same with deer sticks etc.  They just split it between the guys that wanted it.  They did use it all up cuz they make money by the pound.

And the DNR has now said that is not legal, and neither is selling the overage to joe blow off the street.   That is my take from the story.   They processed a whole bunch of deer and would end up with a bunch of excess sausage.   So they sold it.  DNR says that is a no-no.
Title: Re: What next?!
Post by: Reinhard on December 12/07/19, 09:56:11 AM
I agree with Roony that it saves money and you keep what you had from harvest to the end process.  One thing I would encourage guys to do is to get into sausage making yourself.  If you don't want to process the deer yourself or can't because of health reasons going somewhere to have it done is the way to go.  Save the money on the sausage end at home.

A good grinder will cost around $300 or less.  A 5 pound vertical stuffer around $100 and the tubes for stuffing comes with that.  In just one season how many will spend that much for processing and sausage?  Help is right here for how too's.  Or a lot of information on the puter.  I'm at the stage right now that I will not process my deer anymore but will make my own sausage.  Since I hunt around Duluth my nephew found a good place to bring a deer so that is where I'll bring it.  good luck.

DULUTH, Minn. (AP) - Duluth is the latest city to consider banning conversion therapy aimed at changing a person's sexual orientation.

City Council member Gary Anderson said at a meeting Monday night that he introduced the measure because of a lack of action by the state legislature.

A proposed statewide conversion therapy ban failed in the Legislature earlier this year.

Minneapolis recently became the first Minnesota city to ban conversion therapy, and Superior joined a number of Wisconsin cities prohibiting the practice in August.

Other cities in Minnesota are also following suit.

Opponents to similar bans argue such ordinances violate freedom of religion or speech.

The Duluth council could vote on the ban next week.

SO, MAYO does stats input long before they even build, of course. So why DID they build the facilities in the first place? 30 years working there and you get pretty savvy knowing how and why they do things....this all started years ago with them taking out the Kasson clinic.

Mayo's tactic is to remove more and more services from the rural facilities and then claim no one is utilizing the clinics and hospitals there. All in order to centralize things to Rochester. They take the Care out of healthcare.

Same way they closed down urgent care, and said you must have a primary care physician. (This was years ago) That's to lock you in as a Mayo patient for good, instead of just a one time walk-in off the street. So said the internal memo's we got.
Who at that time, in a large city, had no urgent care??  :crazy:

Boy, some people really hit the nail on the head....but then some of us knew that. :angry:

Does Abu Dhabi hospital serve Mayo's mission, or its bottom line?


On the day last month when they announced the deal that connected the Mayo Clinic name with a hospital outside of the U.S. for the first time in its 130-year history, as they so often do, clinic officials recounted the example set by their founders.

"From the very beginning, Mayo Clinic's humanitarian mission as well as our values have driven our international strategy," Mayo president and CEO Gianrico Farrugia said in a statement. In the same announcement, Mayo Clinic International president G. Anton Decker cited "our roots when Drs. Will and Charlie Mayo traveled the globe," promising the four-tower, 741-bed, Sheikh Shakhbout Medical City will "provide hope and healing for those who need it most."

Critics counter that these claims for this closely-watched partnership, one making Mayo a joint shareholder with the UAE government-owned health care corporation SEHA, may have pushed a familiar Mayo narrative to its breaking point. A city of incomprehensible wealth that sits in the top half of countries globally for burden of disease, Abu Dhabi is anything but a locale drawing images of unmet need.

"The Gulf states have a tremendous amount of wealth and financial power that is quite attractive for large institutions," says Michael Page, deputy director for the Middle East and North Africa division at Human Rights Watch. "It's not just the Mayo Clinic. There are academic institutions like New York University over there, and they likely have quite generous agreements with the government, and there's a tremendous opportunity cost of not taking them in the name of expanding partnerships and relationships in a humanitarian venture. I'm not an expert in the health of the UAE, but I think there's some skepticism to be had here."

Others were less diplomatic.

"This is offensive, but not surprising," stated Dr. Marcia Angell, Harvard Medical School faculty member, former editor of the New England Journal of Medicine, and longtime critic of the race for profits within healthcare in an email to Forum News Service. "The Mayo Clinic is joining the rest of our health industry in its race to the bottom to maximize income. Instead of distributing health care according to medical need, we increasingly distribute it on the basis of the ability to pay."

"A hospital in Abu Dhabi does not exactly speak to the Mayo Clinic’s commitment to humanitarian values," emailed Shannon Brownlee, Senior Vice President at the healthcare advocacy nonprofit the Lown Institute. "This is really about capitalizing on Mayo’s excellent, and well-deserved reputation in order to expand its business opportunities. If the Mayo Clinic really wanted to help humanity, it would build primary care clinics in rural Appalachia, rural areas in America,sub-Saharan Africa, or any number of places in the world where people are in real need of medical services, and can’t get them because they are too poor."

To the charge of making their first step in the waters of global healthcare at lip of a gilded infinity pool, Roshanak Didehban, chair of practice administration for Mayo Clinic replied in an email that "this patient-centered joint venture is designed to be an international destination for people from all walks of life who have serious or complex medical conditions… SEHA has committed to investing into their healthcare infrastructure so that we can meet the healthcare needs of the region. Abu Dhabi is centrally located for significant populations around the world, so the combination of shared values with SEHA, necessary commitment to infrastructure, and location made this a good fit for such a collaboration."

Monetary optics aside, a more pressing question remains: how might the clinic navigate the sometimes striking social- and gender inequities embedded within the cultural and legal traditions of the UAE. These include Sharia adjudication of family law matters for citizen patients, and legally-codified restrictions on speech, expression, gender relations, divorce, sexual practices outside of marriage and public assembly.

"I think it could be described as a police state," says Page. "There really is no criticism or peaceful dissent that is allowed in the country that is not met with jailing, deportation and harassment of critics. That's been extensively documented by us and by others."

His views are reflected within publications of the United States government.

Country Reports on Human Rights Practices for 2018, a publication of the U.S. State Department, has cited "allegations of torture in detention; arbitrary arrest and detention… substantial interference with the rights of peaceful assembly and freedom of association… and criminalization of same sexual activity, although no cases were publicly reported during the year."

The UAE also lacks a free press.

"Editors and journalists commonly practiced self-censorship due to fear of government retribution," the report stated, adding that "the government used libel and slander laws to suppress criticism of its leaders and institutions," the latter of which would presumably include hospitals.

"I think what's concerning to the Mayo Clinic is they are going to run into challenges that any autocratic government poses on the health side," says Page. He pointed to a post from Dec. 11 on the UAE news website Gulf News, a report quoting attendees from a recent Mayo Clinic co-organized conference on social media and medicine.

Among a host of valid concerns about erroneous medical information on social media, it described government officials' stated intention to suppress the airing of side effects and treatment-related harms in the UAE, quoting an official that if "a patient comes online when there is an adverse event and says this happened… authorities would investigate such matters in a way similar to how they deal with posts affecting national security."

Asked if it is possible to identify practice problems in an environment of restricted speech, Mayo Clinic's Didehban replied that "part of Mayo Clinic's evaluation of the collaboration included a commitment to our core values of respect, integrity, compassion, healing, teamwork, innovation, excellence and stewardship — values we’ve seen firsthand as our team members work side-by-side with colleagues at Sheikh Shakhbout Medical City."

Asked if the clinic is concerned about the ability of Mayo clinicians to treat female and LGBTQ patients within a context placing women under separate legal status, one seemingly banning transgender, non-marital and homosexual activity, Didehban stated that "The UAE government has established a Ministry of Tolerance, and is making strides to make UAE a welcoming country. We will support that effort — as we have in the United States — with strong support of diversity and inclusion initiatives."

"You've probably seen the branding around this, that it is the year of tolerance in the UAE, a place that allows no dissent," counters Page. "It's a sophisticated kind of understanding of how western institutions work." Mayo's presence, he says, "kind of endorses the UAE and links their brand with the UAE… which the UAE of course will reference in its materials… as part of their campaign and their narrative."

When asked about civil rights in the UAE, Didehban replied that "unfortunately, there are deep social inequities throughout the world, including in the United States. We are committed to diversity and inclusion initiatives to support all people, regardless of race, color, creed, ethnicity, thought, sexual orientation, age or ability, and we would like to be part of the solution to create a more inclusive society in all of our locations."

Mayo gotta do something so they can afford to treat folks like me on Medicare, since Medicare reimbursements are dictated by the government and are ridiculously low in many cases.   And if Grey Beaver gets her thing going it will only get worse.   

There is a contest going on to attract wealthy private patients to various well known medical centers around the country.   Mayo is trying to get a pipeline established to strengthen their existing relationships to the rich folks over there.

Mayo gotta do something so they can afford to treat folks like me on Medicare, since Medicare reimbursements are dictated by the government and are ridiculously low in many cases.   And if Grey Beaver gets her thing going it will only get worse.   

There is a contest going on to attract wealthy private patients to various well known medical centers around the country.   Mayo is trying to get a pipeline established to strengthen their existing relationships to the rich folks over there.   

They've always been into it with them, way back in the 80's even. I guarded the Sheiks and princesses and whatever/whoever those dudes were, and did Mayo ever cowtow to them. Woulda made ya sick. They'd section an entire wing off and build a gigantic suite with everything, including gold faucets, gold gilded bathrooms, tubs, you name it... Benike, Frazier, and every construction and carpet crew in town going like crazy to get it down in a couple days. Furniture being hauled in, TV's, stereos, chandeliers, blah blah. And right across the building, people in the 4 bed wards because they couldn't even afford the double rooms...nothings changed with them, except to go to a grander scale.

Mayo and others say the Medicare rates are too low. Not a big surprise with all the greed in that industry.
Or maybe Health Care conglomerates like Mayo could quit owning sports teams and stick to Health Care.

That Mayo bros mission was hammered into you. Compassion, healing the sick, no matter what the consequences. When you start there, (still doing it) you have a full 8 hr three day orientation on rules, etiquette, mission, etc. Some of that is a film on the Mayo bros, their book you are given and requited to read, and a film on the Sisters of St Francis who started St. Marys. Tidbit: there's no apostrophe in Marys, because that shows possession, and the Sisters are to be free of all worldly possessions. Fact. Told to me by Sr Generose, who I know very well after all these years.

I guess reusing them is cheaper... just run them through the dishwasher

https://www.medpagetoday.com/gastroenterology/generalgastroenterology/83888?xid=fb_o&trw=no&fbclid=IwAR2CXXcyVuTKiVVm49xCUiMcpBGpbzECccdEk1HbRJLxMvZGlgn9peeFg_M

WASHINGTON -- The FDA on Friday cleared a duodenoscope designed to be thrown away after a single use, which -- if gastroenterologists can afford it -- will eliminate problems associated with device sterility once and for all.

Boston Scientific's EXALT Model D is the first such device to be cleared for marketing, the FDA said. The question now is whether clinicians will find it economical to buy the new scopes instead of conventional ones that can be reused many times, albeit with costs for reprocessing and the now infamous risks of infection.

It's the latest step in the FDA's push to improve safety of so-called endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography or ERCP procedures. These require duodenoscopes with elevator mechanisms at the tip, which inevitably have hinges and crevices where pathogens can hide. Obtaining complete sterility in reprocessing 100% of the time has thus far proved impossible. Yet traditional devices were considered too expensive to throw away after one use.

The post-reprocessing sterility problem drew major attention in 2015 when an outbreak of abdominal "superbug" infections was traced to contaminated duodenoscopes. Manufacturers beefed up instructions on proper procedures and the FDA issued multiple notices urging users to follow them. Yet in a December 2018 report, the agency said it was still finding "up to 3% of properly collected samples testing positive for high concern organisms."

When it became clear that protocols alone wouldn't solve the problem, the FDA asked manufacturers to develop devices with single-use parts. In 2017, it approved a Pentax device with a disposable end cap, followed later by others; then last month it approved another Pentax product with a throwaway elevator mechanism.

In Boston Scientific's own announcement of the Friday clearance, the company said it ran clinical tests to confirm that the single-use device performed for ERCP as well as standard duodenoscopes. It also promised a "limited market release" early in 2020.

However, the statement said nothing about how the EXALT Model D compares to multiple-use duodenoscopes in terms of cost. In response to an inquiry from MedPage Today, a Boston Scientific spokesperson said, “At the moment, pricing and purchasing programs are still being developed and will be finalized prior to full commercial launch; we intend to price the single-use device to appropriately reflect the value it brings to physicians and the healthcare system.”

Bernie gives Mayo Clinic the burn, chastises it for 'corporate greed'


Mayo Clinic was thrust into the presidential health care debate on Friday when Bernie Sanders sent out a tweet accusing the health network of "corporate greed" and "putting profits over people" in its decision to close a number of rural clinics.

"Mayo Clinic executives have decided to strip away access to health care from tens of thousands of rural Midwesterners – putting profits over people," the Vermont senator's tweet said. "Under Medicare for All, we will end the corporate greed in health care that is leaving rural Americans behind."

The Sanders tweet was linked to a MinnPost article written by Anna Thompson Hajdik, a native Minnesotan and college English teacher. The article was titled "The Mayo Clinic prioritizes profits over patients as rural communities are left behind."
Mayo Clinic executives have decided to strip away access to health care from tens of thousands of rural Midwesterners—putting profits over people. Under Medicare for All we will end the corporate greed in health care that is leaving rural Americans behind.
If history tells us anything from the past 20 years, it is that disinvestment in our civic institutions is not the answer. It punishes the most vulnerable among us and has led to higher rates of healtcare.

Hajdik and the Sanders campaign argue that Mayo Clinic and other health care systems are contributing to the "hollowing out" of rural America by closing rural clinics in response to declining demand.

"I just think the optics look so bad for them, when they extend their global brand as the disparities continue to widen between rural and urban America," Hajdik said in a PB interview.

In response, a Mayo Clinic spokesman said the clinic is committed to serving all its patients.

"Mayo Clinic is proud to serve over 500,000 patients in the health system," said spokesman Karl W. Oestreich. "We remain committed to providing high-quality services to all of our patients, whether here in Minnesota or abroad, and continue to work to find creative solutions for serving rural communities in the future."

The Sanders tweet also comes less than two months before the first-in-the-nation Iowa caucuses on Feb. 3 kick off the Democratic Party's presidential nominating process.

Health care has figured prominently in Democratic presidential debates. And it has divided the candidates. Some, such as Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, argue for a root-and-branch reshaping of the health care industry, while others, such as Amy Klobuchar and Pete Buttigieg push for a more incremental approach.

Mayo Clinic has lately been the target of critics who say its bottom-line focus has caused it to stray from its foundational principals embodied by Will and Charlie Mayo.

Mayo has, over the last three years, closed or reduced services to small towns, including Springfield, Lake City, Kasson, Lamberton, Fairmont, LeRoy and La Crescent in Minnesota, and Waukon in northeastern Iowa. Mayo has also reduced services in Albert Lea, including a labor and delivery unit, and moved them to the hospital in Austin.

At the same time, Mayo is opening its first hospital outside the United States in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, one of the wealthiest nations on the globe.


A lecturer at University of Wisconsin–Whitewater, Hajdik wasn't aware that the Sanders' campaign had tweeted out her article.

Hajkid lives in Madison, but was raised in Clearwater, a small Minnesota town of 1,700. Two years ago, her hometown's nursing home closed, "something felt acutely" there, she said. She described herself as intensely interested in rural-urban divide issues.

Though not a health care policy expert herself, Hajdik said she has a number of family members employed or retired from health care-related fields. Her mom, Mary Thompson, is a retired Houston County public health nurse. Her sister, Emily Thompson, is a health data planner for Hennepin County who lives in Rochester

Hajdik said her decision to write the article was triggered by the dissonance between Mayo's global ambitions and its retreat from rural America.

"Why are they having all this global expansion when we see such disparities in our own backyard," Hajdik said. "That just really ticks me off."

In her article, Hajdik argues that Mayo's business model makes sense in the for-profit corporate world. But its status as a non-profit entity that doesn't pay state and local taxes and was recently the beneficiary of a $585 million spending package approved by the Legislature in 2013 imposes a greater "humanitarian" responsibility toward the rural patients it once served.

In previous closure announcements, Mayo officials have described the increasing difficulty of recruiting and hiring physicians to rural clinics. For many such clinics, physicians aren't required to be on call full-time. And many rural places don't offer the cultural amenities that many health care professionals are looking for.

Hajdik doesn't deny that rural parts of the U.S. are in demographic decline, with aging populations and declining birth rates. But disinvestment of those communities is not the answer, she argues. And Mayo, which posed $12.8 billion in revenue in 2018, may be in a stronger position to help than many financially stressed hospitals.

She proposes that the revenue generated by the the Abu Dhabi "mega-hospital" go toward a fund to support rural clinics. That would help strengthen the fabric of rural America. It would also be true to the spirit of the Mayo brothers, who paid the bills of the their poorest patients during the Great Depression, she said.

Whatever happened to the days of Doc accepting a chicken or some eggs as payment for services rendered?  :scratch: Yes the closing of these clinics by Mayo is shameful and what they have offered are excuses. I can't complain about the care I've received locally from Mayo. We no longer have a general practitioner Dr. as such but rather a nurse practitioner. So far they've been smart enough to know when a referral is called for and that's about what the Dr. used to do anyway. Frankly I'm surprised they haven't closed the clinic here in Bugtussle. As I've said before, watching with great interest to see what happens when Mercy One gets up and going in Albert's Leaf. I still blame a lot of what's happened with insurance on Obama. We were warned ahead of time by our insurance agent what would happen if that piece of crap legislation was passed and she was right. Putting the government in charge of everyone's healthcare? What could possibly go wrong? I mean, where are the Canadians going to go for anything besides routine procedures if we get Medicare for all?  :rotflmao:

See they had a big "Rally" (god, I'm getting to hate that word!) in downtown CAWchetser to support Trump's impeachment. Did you go, Delwood? I bet I could find something better to do at 0* out in the snow then walk around and hoot and holler in the dark. Maybe have a "Rally" to get rid of the idjits and A-holes in this town. That would probably drop the population down by about 80%.  :rolleyes:

Trumps latest statement:



"SUCH ATROCIOUS LIES BY THE RADICAL LEFT, DO NOTHING DEMOCRATS. THIS IS AN ASSAULT ON AMERICA, AND AN ASSAULT ON THE REPUBLICAN PARTY!!!!" "IT'S A GIANT HOAX!" Trump wrote, shortly after the White House said in a statement that he was "working all day" but might "catch some of the proceedings between meetings.”


Would that be "fake news?"  :confused:

Title: Re: What next?!
Post by: Steve-o on December 12/19/19, 01:37:27 PM
I don't know the back story.

Did he try to destroy the flag by burning down the church (a really bad idea), or did he start a small fire in a waste basket and the prosecutor charged it up to arson?

I don't know.  I'm asking.  Not smart on the part of the convicted either way.

IMO "hate crimes" in general and "hate speech crimes" in particular are dangerous.  I *think* I know who they are going after now (supremacists, etc).  Its a way of turning misdemeanors into something more serious when those so-called minor offenses are intended to terrorize.  But those definitions could very easily be broadened - depending who is in authority - to include regular citizens, whereby opposing points of view are interpreted to be intolerance and redefined to be hate.  Its coming.  Look at whats happening on the Hallmark channel this week.

They are going after the "non-woke" of all types.   Not as bad as Canuckistan however.   

But it would be interesting to know what his two prior felonies were.   I thought flag burning was protected as free speech, but I guess some speech is more free than others.

I've never heard of a utility company that has so many outages and doesn't know why.....that's 5 this year so far. Been keeping track.
So, if they didn't have a clue, how did they fix it?  :confused:



ROCHESTER, Minn. (KTTC) - Multiple homes were affected by a power outage in Northeast Rochester that started just before 9:30 Monday morning. The outage lasted for over three hours.

Most of the customers were in the Stonehedge Drive and Jasper Place neighborhood area.

RPU crews said they could not determine the cause of the outage.

All 286 affected customers got power back by 12:40 p.m.

Around here in Andover area it's anywhere from 2.29 to 2.39 per gallon.  I don't think it's going to up much Iran used to put out over 1 and a half million barrels of oil before the santions.  Now it's around 300 thousand.  They don't make a difference in oil prices at all.  It's the fear of the shipping may be blocked that's the fear of the market.  I see maybe a few cents higher in the short term.  good luck

I never thought deer drives were a good idea either. I have been watching two shows on tv, Northwoods Law (New Hampshire) and Lone star Law. I couldn’t believe all the hunters that were wearing camouflage instead of BO?

I guess they figure you should be smart enough to realize that orange is the new camo (rimshot) and wear it if other hunters are going to be around, unlike MN that seems to want to pass a law to make you wipe after a dump.

What used to get me was when we'd duck hunt down in Weaver Bottoms, and at the stroke of sunrise, everyone opened up at the first string overhead. Sounded like a friggin' firefight with shotguns. It's a huge area with lots of hunters. The pellets would  rain down on ya occasionally, and although most shot pretty much up, there were those that would stand up and shoot at a low flyer. Was always thinking one day I'd get a face full of pellets...

Finally, a new job for Reb (on one side or the other)   

At Border, Customs Work Includes Taking a Lot of Bologna
Day-to-day reality for some border officers amid immigration crisis is far more mundane

U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers routinely seize Mexican bologna that people try to smuggle into the U.S., including 14 rolls in November. PHOTO: U.S. CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION

Customs and Border Protection official Chad Gerber spends much of his time overseeing the hunt for dangerous products travelers try to sneak into the U.S. Among the most popular: Mexican bologna.


In November, his team in El Paso, Texas, seized 154 pounds of Mexican bologna in 14 frozen rolls hidden behind the back seat of a Chevrolet pickup. A CBP officer had spotted the tops of red packaging poking out.

“It’s hard to hide that much bologna,” said Mr. Gerber, one of the CBP’s top two agriculture officials in El Paso. He estimates he has seized thousands of pounds of Mexican bologna over his 21 years with agency.

Following department protocol, officers took the meat to a local incinerator and burned it, Mr. Gerber said.

Amid what officials have called an immigration crisis at the border, the day-to-day reality for some officers is often more mundane. It can involve interacting with people making legal drives back and forth for shopping trips and family visits, and officers looking for all sorts of forbidden fruit, dairy products and processed meat, just like at any other U.S. port of entry. The work of agriculture specialists like Mr. Gerber is a small but vital piece of the CBP workload at air, land and seaports as they root out dangerous products or pests before they make their way into the U.S.

Mr. Gerber and his team in El Paso typically encounter only a fraction of the tens of thousands of travelers who cross the border in El Paso each day. They see only the people line officers suspect of trying to sneak in prohibited items, including bologna.

Travelers are allowed to take cheese and many other kinds of food from Mexico into the U.S., but many meats are banned because of health concerns such as swine flu and other animal-borne illnesses. The products can be legally imported by licensed importers who can verify the origins of the meat and certify that the animals it came from were healthy.

On a typical day during the budget year that ended in September, officers found more than 4,500 prohibited agricultural items, including food and plants, according to CBP.

East Coast-based agricultural officers routinely find African game meat tucked inside luggage. In November, customs officers seized nearly 16 pounds of unpasteurized soft cheese wrapped in five tanned animal skins that had been brought in from Turkey, according to CBP.

Fans of Mexican bologna, which typically comes in large rolls like Italian salami, say its richer, less salty taste is far superior to the prepackaged processed meat in American grocery stores. It is eaten as slices, unadorned, on a sandwich, or cooked.

It is sold in the U.S. at specialty Hispanic-foods markets, at higher prices than in Mexico. At one Phoenix-area market specializing in Hispanic foods, chicken and pork bologna from Mexican meat company Chimex sells for $4.99 a pound, or about $50 per roll. In Mexico, the rolls sell for about $10.

The bologna can have a street value of $100 or more for a 10-pound roll in areas where there are no stores that legally import and sell it, said Roger Maier, a CBP spokesman.

“It’s really good,” said Maria Batista, a 23-year-old social worker from South Florida. “I’m Dominican and we usually use it with breakfast, fry it in a pan and eat it with eggs.” She said she finds the imported version at local grocery stores.

As for Mr. Gerber, he said he had never tried Mexican bologna. “It’s probably got a unique taste and flavor that these folks grew up on,” he said.

A hidden sandwich’s worth of bologna or a small chorizo roll tucked away in a purse can result in a fine of a few hundred dollars. Larger amounts that authorities suspect will be sold on the black market carry fines starting at $1,000.

Mr. Gerber said travelers carrying small quantities of bologna or other banned items for their personal use routinely try to sneak them past border officers while declaring a variety of other groceries.

SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS
Have you been made to discard foreign items when traveling back to the U.S.? Which ones—and what was the explanation given to you? Join the conversation below.

Big-time bologna smugglers often borrow tactics from their counterparts in the illicit drug trade, stashing the meat rolls in hidden compartments along the sidewalls of a van or inside a spare tire. Customs officers assume the larger quantities of bologna are bound for illicit sales at inflated prices.

CBP officers “are trained in deep concealment, and 99% of the time, they assume drugs,” Mr. Gerber said. “The next thing you know, they are looking at rolls of bologna.”

ROSEAU, Minn. (AP) - A Minnesota man is accused of fatally shooting a woman who yelled at him to hurry up and honked her horn while waiting for him outside his home.


Fifty-six-year-old Angelo Borreson was charged Friday with second-degree murder and second-degree assault in the death of 51-year-old Angela Wynne. Borreson told authorities Wynne drove to his home near Badger in northern Minnesota on Wednesday to help him get gas for his vehicle.

According to the complaint, Borrenson said he accidentally shot Wynne after she started yelling at him to hurry. Borrenson said he did not mean for his shotgun to fire, that it fired  by itself.

Oboy!!!  Another new hotel to eat up downtown! Ya, we need more! Sure!

Mary Gastner, the interim executive director of Experience Rochester (Rochester's conventions visitors and bureau), tallied 5,393 available hotel rooms at 54 city hotels at the start of 2019. (There have since been 2 added)

Rochester Post Bulletin

A $2 million deal to buy 0.41 acres of open land on Rochester's Second Street Southwest clears the way for a new six-story hotel project. TPS Rochester LLC bought the land at 601 Second St. SW on the northwest corner of Second Street and Sixth Avenue Southwest from Portland Real Estate LLC. Portland Real Estate is based in Rochester and led by Brooks Edwards. The sale clears the way for a group led by Jeff Brown Jr. and Mike Zirbes, of North Rock Real Estate, and Collin Nash to develop a 109-room, six-story Towneplace Suites by Marriott hotel. The new hotel will be just south of the Mayo Ozmun building.

And on a lighter note... saw this one today...

The amazing Martinez

It was the first day of school and a new student named Martinez, the son of a Mexican restaurateur, entered the fourth grade. The teacher said, "Let's begin by reviewing some American history. Who said "Give me Liberty, or give me Death?" She saw a sea of blank faces, except for Martinez, who had his hand up. "Patrick Henry, 1775."

"Very good! Who said 'Government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth'"? Again, no response except from Martinez: "Abraham Lincoln, 1863.", said Martinez. The teacher snapped at the class, "Class, you should be ashamed. Martinez, who is new to our country, knows more about its history than you do."

She heard a loud whisper: "Screw the Mexicans." "Who said that?" she demanded. Martinez put his hand up. "Jim Bowie, 1836."

At that point, a student in the back said, "I'm gonna puke." The teacher glares and asks "All right! Now, who said that?" Again, Martinez says, "George Bush to the Japanese Prime Minister, 1991."

Now furious, another student yells, "Oh yeah? Suck this!" Martinez jumps out of his chair waving his hand and shouts to the teacher, "Bill Clinton, to Monica Lewinsky, 1997!"

Now with almost a mob hysteria someone said, "You little crap. If you say anything else, I'll kill you." Martinez frantically yells at the top of his voice, "Gary Condit to Chandra Levy 2001."

The teacher fainted. And as the class gathered around the teacher on the floor, someone said, "Oh crap, now we're in BIG trouble!" Martinez said, "Saddam Hussein 2003."

Didn't White Nose wipe out the entire population down in Niagara Caves?

It has gotten into the bats that winter in the sudan mine...
https://www.duluthnewstribune.com/news/3982805-bats-soudan-mine-dying-white-nose-syndrome

White-nose syndrome, the deadly fungus that has killed millions of bats in the eastern U.S. and Canada, has been found in dead bats in Northeastern Minnesota's Soudan Underground Mine.

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources reported the finding Wednesday.

Several hundred bats have been found dead near the main entrance to the mine since January, and a sample sent to a federal wildlife laboratory confirmed the cause was white-nose syndrome.

It’s the first time bats have been confirmed as dying from the disease in Minnesota.....
(skip a bunch)
The fungus also has been detected in Forestville/Mystery Cave State Park in southeastern Minnesota, but bats have not been found dead there as of yet.

I meant Mystery Caves. Just 40 bats were left this March of 2019, they stated this Fall it appears they have all died.
Looks like the cave is now sans bats.


DNR: Nearly all of the bats in Mystery Cave State Park are gone

March 29, 2019

MINNESOTA NEWS

TOP STORIES
NEAR PRESTON, Minn. (KTTC/AP) – Nearly all of the bats at Mystery Cave State Park in Fillmore County have been wiped out from a fungal disease, according to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources.

White Nose Syndrome was first confirmed in Northeastern Minnesota, but the disease has spread to our region. The DNR observed a 94 percent decline at Mystery Cave State Park near Preston compared to the last investigation in 2015.


Experts say this latest news is concerning, but not surprising. The disease is spread bat-to-bat, but people can actually carry spores from one cave to another.  For several years, cave tours have started with a lesson on how to prevent spreading the disease.

Fewer bats means more insects and moths, which can damage crops.

Bats have lived above the attic and under the soffit at our house since we moved there 35 years ago. They even found a way back in when we remodeled a decade or so back. About dusk every night during the summer you could hear them squeaking & scratching around ready to come out. There was a bunch of them. Heard and saw only one bat one night this past summer. Sad deal.

just saying...… I got them for 2 reasons......saves on water and they are a handicap type stool, easier on us old folks!!! man you sure can tell the difference.

we also put them in the union hall bout 5 years ago and no issues there either and when the apprentices are there, there's a lot of flushing.

Minnesota court rejects two major permits for PolyMet mine

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) -- The Minnesota Court of Appeals has rejected two of the most important permits for the planned PolyMet copper-nickel mine in northeastern Minnesota in a major victory for environmentalists.


A three-judge panel ruled Monday that the state Department of Natural Resources erred when it declined to order a proceeding known as a "contested case hearing" to gather more information on the potential environmental impacts of the project.


So the court sent the dispute back to the DNR with orders to conduct the hearing. At issue were PolyMet's permit to mine and its dam safety permits.

There isn't an issue facing the state that has me more conflicted.

On one hand, I know what the jobs mean to the region.  On the other hand, I've seen how some big companies do the minimum to protect the environment.  Further, laws and rules in place now to protect the environment can be relaxed later.  I'd be just sick if there was some sort of environmental accident that adversely affected the BWCA.

Minnesotans are drinking water contaminated by nitrates


January 14, 2020

Associated Press
MINNESOTA NEWS

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Years of unchecked agricultural pollution has led Minnesotans to drink tap water contaminated with unsafe levels of nitrate, a chemical linked to different types of cancer and other serious health problems.

According to the Star Tribune, an environmental group says Minnesota is on "the brink of a public health crisis."

As a result, Minnesota is implementing the Groundwater Protection Rule.

It prohibits applying commercial nitrogen fertilizer in drinking water supply management areas that already have elevated nitrate levels.

The rule also establishes a new enforcement program encouraging farmers to adopt greener and safer practices.

Snowplow drivers set to strike Wednesday in St. Louis County/Duluth

January 14, 2020


Associated Press
MINNESOTA NEWS

DULUTH, Minn. (AP) -- Union snowplow drivers in Duluth are set to strike Wednesday in northeastern Minnesota's St. Louis County as snow moves into the area.


Teamsters Local 320 posted on Facebook that union negotiators and members decided to engage in a county-wide work stoppage.


The local's chief negotiator posted that the strike will begin at 7 a.m. Wednesday. Union members voted overwhelmingly on Saturday to reject the county's final contract offer.

The drivers could have gone on strike as early as Tuesday. County officials have a contingency plan to keep roads plowed.

The union plans mobile pickets to follow Public Works vehicles that aren't driven by Teamsters.

Sounded like on the one report it would be the supervisors handling the snow plowing. Interesting to see how long that lasts.

As far as the nitrate deal, anytime you get the EWG involved, it's political. They are just another liberal eviro watchdog group. If you'll recall they were front and center at publishing the website containing names of everyone who was getting government farm related payments including those of us receiving payments for CRP. Oddly enough they didn't see fit to publish any website detailing the names of people who receive public assistance or SNAP aid. :confused: The EWG is disputing the nitrate safety guideline levels that have been set by the feds. Missing from the reports I've heard and read are  the well depth info or the fact in some cases that the wells are located on the sand plains or other sensitive areas where wells are more prone to nitrate pollution due to their geology. Sorta loses some of its impact when you just cherry pick the facts supporting your agenda and outfits like The Star and Sickle readily regurgitate it.

Not sure if that strike affects Duluth and some other areas.  I know Hermantown will plow their streets.  I am for their  right to strike.  However not a good idea right before a major snow storm this weekend.  I wish they would keep negotiating.  I think they only negotiated for two weeks so far.  They have a tough job and should be compensated.  Hope this strike doesn't increase traffic injuries or worse.  good luck.

On today's news, they said it includes entire city of Duluth. Paper has this too, this morning.




DULUTH, Minn. (AP) - Union snowplow drivers are on strike in northeastern Minnesota where a winter weather advisory has been posted as snow moves into the region. Teamsters Local 320 official Brian Aldes says the strike in St. Louis County began Wednesday. Union members voted overwhelmingly Saturday to reject the county's final contract offer, citing issues over healthcare and accrued sick leave. County officials have a contingency plan to keep roads plowed. Public works supervisors and staff in other departments are licensed to operate plows. St. Louis County could see 1-3 inches of snow Wednesday, with 4 inches possible in the southern part of the county, including Duluth.

Elementary school kids doused as jet dumps fuel before emergency landing at LAX


US-NEWS-LA-AIRPORT-FUELDUMP-4-LA
CUDAHY CA JANUARY 14, 2020 -


LOS ANGELES - An airplane returning to Los Angeles International Airport on Tuesday morning dropped jet fuel onto a school playground, dousing several students at Park Avenue Elementary School in Cudahy, officials said.

Delta Flight 89 - a Boeing 777 - had taken off from LAX with more than 140 passengers on board and was en route to Shanghai when it turned around and headed back to the L.A. airport.

"Shortly after takeoff, Flight 89 from LAX to Shanghai experienced an engine issue requiring the aircraft to return to LAX," Delta spokesperson Adrian Gee said. "The aircraft landed safely after an emergency fuel release to reduce landing weight."


The plane is 20 years old and makes daily flights from Los Angeles to Shanghai. In recent weeks, the plane had also made trips out of L.A. to Paris and Tokyo.

According to Flightradar24, Tuesday's flight never got above 8,000 feet, and was at about 2,300 feet when it passed over the school at 11:53 a.m. PST.

The flight is typically a 13-hour nonstop. This one lasted about 25 minutes.

At 11:47 a.m., an LAFD firefighter radioed that they were responding to a call at LAX.

"We have a Boeing triple 7, call sign Delta 89, reporting a compressor stall, 181 souls on board, 12 hours of fuel, ETA less than five minutes," an LAFD firefighter said.

When the compressor of a plane's engine stalls, it can cause the loss of airflow through an engine, which can cause the engine to fail.

Passenger Tim Lefebvre, a bass guitarist headed to China for gigs, was sitting at the front of the plane when he heard loud popping sounds.

"It was kind of right next to me," Lefebvre said. "I knew that wasn't good. The pilot came on a couple minutes later and said we were going back to LAX, and that was that."

The pilot told passengers that there had been an engine problem and that they shouldn't be alarmed if, when the plane landed, they saw firetrucks on the runway, Lefebvre said.

Everyone on board remained calm, although the flight attendant seated near Lefebvre looked concerned, he said.


"Just imagine if we had been over the Pacific a good distance," Lefebvre said. "That would not have been good."

A total of 60 patients were treated after the fuel dump, at least 20 of them children. The Los Angeles County Fire Department said more than 70 firefighters and paramedics headed to Park School Elementary, where 20 children and 11 adults were treated for minor injuries. No one was taken to the hospital. Additionally, six people at Tweedy Elementary School and six at San Gabriel Elementary in South Gate were affected, as was one adult at Graham Elementary School. L.A. City Fire treated 16 patients at Jordan High School in Long Beach and 93rd Street Elementary in Green Meadows.

LAFD spokesperson Nicholas Prange said two classes were outside Park Avenue Elementary when the liquid rained down shortly before noon. Students and staff were instructed to go indoors and remain there for the time being.

Park Avenue Elementary School sixth grader Josue Burgos was participating in physical education outside when he was surprised to feel the sensation of rain. The 11-year-old in Mariana de la Torre's class looked up to see a plane barreling down on his campus.

"We came out and we were playing, and the airplane was outside and we thought it was rain, but then we knew it was throwing gas on us, and everybody started to run," Josue said. "We went to the auditorium and we knew what happened. We went back to class. We stayed for one hour and then we went home."

Josue said fuel landed on his sweater, shirt and shorts, and the odor was immediately noticeable.

"Yeah, it smelled bad," he said. "It wasn't water."

Parent Freddie Contreras, who lives about a block away from campus, thought he saw glass crashing down outside his apartment.

Contreras raced out of the complex to find an overwhelming odor emanating not just from the roof and surrounding pavement, but from his white 2016 Honda Civic, which had been doused in fuel.

"I didn't know what I was supposed to do, and I didn't know what was going on, but I knew it was gas or something toxic," Contreras said.


While Contreras' son Mateo, a Park Avenue first grader, was unharmed, sister-in-law Yesenia Pantaja, who also lives in the complex, complained of a headache.

"It's the fuel," Contreras said. "I want to leave, but I don't know if I can drive my car. I don't know if it's safe."

While Park Avenue parent Francisco Javier was relieved that his first-grade son was inside his classroom and unaffected by the fuel dump, he was careful not to inhale too deeply.

"You should have been here when it first happened," Javier said. "You couldn't breathe it was so bad. It's still strong, but not as bad as it was."

Javier, who lives across the street from the school's main entrance, walked outside to assess the situation and observe the crowd of media, fire and police. He then headed back into his apartment to close and lock all the windows.

Sixth grader Miguel Cervantes was one of several students taking part in physical education classes outside when he was confused by what was happening.

"I saw an airplane and I thought smoke was coming out," Miguel said. "Then when it got closer, I knew it was gas because a little bit fell on me."

Miguel said that fuel hit parts of his shirt and pants and that within an hour he had been sent home.

Miguel's mother, Ana, received a call about the events and rushed over to Park Avenue.

"Just a small amount landed on my son's clothes and on his arms, but we washed him with soap and changed his clothes and he seems fine," Ana Cervantes said.


When asked if she would destroy her son's clothes out of caution, Cervantes said the measure was too drastic.

"Those are expensive clothes, we'll just wash them with soap and water," she said.

Ross Aimer, the chief executive officer of Aero Consulting Experts, said fuel dumping is very rare and is used only in case of emergencies or if pilots have to reach a safe landing weight, as was the case in Tuesday's incident.

"Most pilots choose not to dump fuel unless the emergency really dictates it," Aimer said.

A possible emergency would be nonfunctioning landing gear that would otherwise make it difficult to control the plane.

When pilots dump fuel, they typically try to do it at above 10,000 feet and over water, but ideally it should be done at higher elevation because then the fuel turns into mist and it's away from populated areas.

The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating the matter.

"There are special fuel-dumping procedures for aircraft operating into and out of any major U.S. airport. These procedures call for fuel to be dumped over designated unpopulated areas, typically at higher altitudes so the fuel atomizes and disperses before it reaches the ground," officials said in a statement.

An example of an unpopulated area would be an ocean, said Douglas Moss, aviation consultant and a retired United Airlines pilot.

To make an emergency landing, a pilot will try to get the airplane down to its landing weight so there are more options in case of an aborted landing attempt. How and where that fuel dump happens depends on the type of emergency, said Tom Haueter, former director of the National Transportation Safety Board's Office of Aviation Safety.


Pilots will typically alert air traffic controllers of the emergency fuel release and the air traffic controllers will try to direct the plane, said Haueter, who now serves as a consultant on aviation safety and accident investigations.

The drop will typically happen at an altitude of 5,000 feet so the fuel vaporizes before hitting the ground. But if there is a severe emergency, plans may change.

"The real key is to know what's the nature of the emergency," Haueter said.

In an emergency, the captain is "authorized to break any rule in the book," Moss said. "He still tries to adhere to as many of the rules as he can, but the bottom line is his actions must be in the best interest of safety."

Cudahy officials expressed disappointment over the incident and were demanding answers about why the fuel was dropped over the school.

Newly appointed Mayor Elizabeth Alcantar said the school was next door to Cudahy City Hall.

"I'm very upset," she said in a phone interview. "This is an elementary school, these are small children."

The incident hit a nerve in the community. Environmental injustices have long taken place in southeast Los Angeles County. For years, activists and residents fought for the closure of a battery recycling plant in the industrial city of Vernon because it emitted cancer-causing arsenic and lead, a potent neurotoxin, into nearby cities.

It was only five years ago that the plant was closed.

In the 1990s, Park Avenue Elementary School was closed for eight months because tar-like petroleum sludge began to seep up from the ground. The school was built on an old city dump site that contained petroleum-contaminated soil and several pockets of tar-like petroleum sludge.


"Why is it always our communities having to deal with the brunt of these issues?" Alcantar said.

The jet-fuel dump incident has raised questions about environmental safety and the flight path over Cudahy and other cities.

"Sadly, our entire community has been adversely impacted by this incident, including dozens of children. I am calling for a full federal investigation into the matter, and expect full accountability from responsible parties," Cudahy City Council member Jack Guerrero said.

Emergency incidents of jet fuel being dumped over populated areas have been reported across the United States in previous years.

In 2007, a 744 Dutch Royal Airlines flight to Amsterdam returned to San Francisco Airport after the pilot realized the plane's nose gear would not retract. The pilot released fuel 15,000 feet above Stanislaus County.

In 2001, jet fuel rained down on residents in Flower Mound, Texas, as an American Airlines plane flew back to Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. The pilot said at the time that a warning light came on, leading to a fuel release.

Three years prior, in 1998, another American Airlines flight was involved in a similar incident in New York when 3,200 gallons of fuel were dumped over homes in Queens. The pilot said a large bird had flown into an engine under the right wing.

The Delta jet landed safely at LAX soon after dumping the fuel. Police drove behind the plane with sirens wailing as it arrived.

Sounds like they were closer to the airport and not over the water...........5 mns from turn around to being over the school.....I dunno, I'm not a pilot. Don't know if they head straight west or not. It is kinda stinky; smells just like kerosene to me. Had a few Jetfuel A puddles at work when the tanker would fill the underground tank for Mayo One.



According to Flightradar24, Tuesday's flight never got above 8,000 feet, and was at about 2,300 feet when it passed over the school at 11:53 a.m. PST.

The flight is typically a 13-hour nonstop. This one lasted about 25 minutes.

At 11:47 a.m.
, an LAFD firefighter radioed that they were responding to a call at LAX.

Don't know anything about flying a plane.  The pilot was thinking about the safety of the passengers I think.  Maybe he thought He could not have the time to go over non populated areas or the ocean and then have a engine go out on him.  Well they will investigate this and we will find out.  Bad deal for sure but I think the pilot had the passengers in mind.  good luck.

CAWchester seeking answers....one thing they just don't get, is crows are smarter than the city council, and will adapt anywhere. They aren't moving. All the tall hotels they are building gives them shelter and safety from predators. Also.....and it's fact...the first thing a crow does when startled is let fly with poop. Shooting the bottle rockets and starter guns under their trees is real intelligent.... :rolleyes:
$30,000 spent and the crows are still laughing at us. 



ROCHESTER, Minn. (KTTC) -- The part-time Rochester residents and full-time mess makers - crows are back roosting in the MedCity and in big numbers.

Parks and Recreation Operations Manager Michael Schaber says Rochester has had a seasonal crow problem for several years.

"Sometimes you'll come to a smaller tree around here and there would be three to four hundred of them," Schaber said. "They're not trained to go to the bathroom in the right areas. So with all those crows comes a lot of mess."

So the million dollar question, how do you get rid of the crows? They have an entire team designated to shoo them away.

"At least two vehicles and up to four people each night from 3-11, driving around central business district looking for the crows and trying to keep them from roosting," Schaber said.

City crews go on crow patrol November to February with a variety of tools. "High powered lasers, a green light that kind of disrupts them and gets them to move for a little while," Schaber stated.

Even then, it proves to be not good enough. Parks and Recreation Landscape Technician John Munson knows a thing or two about that.

"They adapt to everything, they adapt to everything year after year so we have to consistently change it up," Munson said. "There's just some nights where they're just not gonna move."

The crow problem is a continuing battle with no end in sight. "I don't see it being a problem where there's no more crows in Rochester," Schaber said.

Simple.  Five guys drive by roosting trees in white vans or cars - out come five shotgun barrels - and they each shoot five rounds into the tree killing as many birds as possible.  They do this for five more trees over the next five days.  Afterwards, whenever a crow sees a white vehicle driving down the road - they are outta there.  No place in the city will be safe for them.  If they start to wise up, give them a refresher course.

Crow Hunting

No license is required to hunt crows. They may be taken by legal firearms (shotgun not larger than 10 gauge, rifle, or handgun), bow and arrow or by falconry. There are no daily or possession limits, and shooting hours are 1/2 hr before sunrise to sunset.

Crows are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act but can be taken out of season, without a permit, when caught in the act of committing, or about to commit, damage to ornamental or shade trees, agricultural crops, livestock or wildlife.

Lethal means of control can also be undertaken when they are concentrated in large numbers, such as communal roosts, and subsequently constitute a nuisance (e.g. noise) or pose a threat to human health, as would be the case when accumulations of fecal materials pose a sanitation risk. Legal methods of take are the same as during hunting seasons. Crows cannot be taken outside of the damage area.

This is Teacher of the Year, representing Minnesota??!    :angry2:


ST PAUL — Minnesota's Teacher of the Year kneeled in silent protest during the national anthem at Monday night's college football championship game. President Donald Trump was standing down the field from her.

Kelly Holstine stood alongside fellow teachers of the year, as well as Trump and First Lady Melania Trump, on the Mercedes-Benz Superdome field before Monday, Jan. 13's Football Bowl Subdivision Championship Game in New Orleans.

Later that evening, she tweeted that she decided to kneel as the national anthem opened the game because she was "given platform to stand up for marginalized and oppressed people."

Honored as State Teachers of the Year at NCAA Champ FB Game. Given platform to stand up for marginalized and oppressed people. Like many before, I respectfully kneeled during Nat’l Anthem because, “No one is free until we are all free” (MLK). #imwithkap #blacklivesmatter #LGBTQ

"Like many before, I respectfully kneeled during Nat’l Anthem because, 'No one is free until we are all free,'" she tweeted, quoting Martin Luther King Jr.

She added hashtags #blacklivesmatter, #LGBTQ and #imwithkap, referring to former-San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who famously kneeled during the national anthem in 2016.

The NFL in 2018 instituted a policy requiring players to stand for the national anthem. Following the NFL's announcement, Trump praised the policy in a Fox & Friends interview, and criticized players who choose to kneel.

"You have to stand proudly for the national anthem, or you shouldn’t be playing. You shouldn’t be there," Trump said. "Maybe you shouldn’t be in the country."

Del it used to be you couldn't shoot a crow but now you can:  "If they have caused damage or they about to commit damage."  Kind of a judgement call anymore.  "Hey that is the crow that caused damage here yesterday"...

They are so darn smart.  I used to hunt them a lot.

US seeks to tighten rules covering service animals on planes NEW


(AP) -- The days of passengers bringing rabbits, turtles and birds on planes as emotional-support animals could be ending.


The Transportation Department on Wednesday announced plans to change the rules regarding service animals. The biggest change would be that only dogs could qualify.

Airlines have complained that some passengers are abusing rules that let them bring other animals on board by saying they need the animal for emotional support.

The folks at the license place weren't moving slow; it was the numbskulls that were trying to get Real ID licenses without the proper documentation.There was a couple in front of me and another guy, that held things up for over 20 mns until the lady said they had to move on. Guy in front of me said loud enough for them to hear "here's yer sign"  :rotflmao:  No proper ID's or address on bills, just a bunch of excuses.

Man shuts off oxygen to Hospital

ROBBINSDALE, Minn. (AP) - Court documents accuse a man of scaling a fence at a Minneapolis-area hospital and shutting off oxygen to the entire facility.

No charges have been filed and a search warrant affidavit makes no mention of injuries in the Dec. 27 incident at North Memorial Hospital, but the documents say the situation could have been deadly under different circumstances.

The documents says hospital engineers detected a pressure drop in the hospital's oxygen levels and discovered the vandalism. The Star Tribune reports the incident is tied to a man who's suspected of tampering with Xcel Energy meters 250 times.

Title: Re: What next?!
Post by: Rebel SS on January 01/28/20, 08:58:11 AM
I dunno...good question. There isn't a Kemp's or AMPI plant anywhere even close.
We've had both  plants here since the very early 60's, I think.
Sure gonna hurt us, though, especially with all  this DMC crap and taxes that have skyrocketed and doubled. There's no housing available now for low income....and that's what these guys will be, at least for a while. They talk about this place growing into a huge mecca, yet many industry type places have pulled the plug here...AMPI, Kemps, Crenlo, Libby's, etc., not to mention all the restaurants, grocery stores,and retail places that have pulled out. Even the much needed Salvation Army Thrift store, because their lease was terminated and Mayo grabbed the property. Wonder when the sheeple are gonna open their eyes and wake up. Two more of my neighbors put their houses up for sale and are moving out of Rochester, because of all this crap. Said they can't afford to live here. I can't either. So they told me face-to-face two days ago when we were talking outside....

Still gonna make ice cream.   The milk operation was part of the big AMPI plant that they were renting from AMPI for a while even though AMPI had shut down their part.  They made cheese there.    Looks like milk will be going to their cheese plant in Wisconsin among other places. 

Also sounds like there is less milk being produced in the SE MN area so that might have something to do with it.

Bad ice winter creates 'regional disaster' for resorts, bait shops


DULUTH — How bad have ice conditions been on many northern Minnesota lakes this winter? So bad it's hurting businesses that make their money off ice anglers — resorts, bait shops, fish house rentals and others — and so bad that some business owners are shutting down early and asking for the state’s financial help.

Thin ice, deep snow, paralyzing slush and warm temperatures have combined to produce treacherous conditions that have effectively scared away many ice anglers. Even snowmobile traffic is down in some areas because deep snow has insulated swamps, preventing them from freezing enough to cross.

“We’re off 40-50% for winter. It makes you wonder how we are even going to open in the spring,” said Rick Leonhardt, who co-owns High Banks Resort on Lake Winnibigoshish with his wife, Kim.

State Sen. Justin Eichorn, R-Grand Rapids, attended a meeting of 40 north-central Minnesota business owners on Wednesday at High Banks to talk about potential remedies. In a letter sent to many area business, local resort owners said the economic impact of the unusual winter conditions “is equal to flooding or forest fires’’ after which the state has offered economic aid.

“We aren’t asking for a handout. But we got kicked in the teeth here and we need some help. … Maybe low-interest or no-interest loans or something,” Rick Leonhardt said.

Kim Leonhardt said some businesses have simply given up on this winter, noting the problem stretches from the Brainerd Lakes area north through Leech and Winnibigoshish and onto Upper Red Lake. She said Eichorn was "very receptive'' about bringing their concerns to St. Paul for potential action by the Legislature. She said ice fishing-related businesses in five counties — Beltrami, Cass, Itasca, Hubbard and St. Louis — have reported serious economic losses so far.

“It’s a regional disaster … One resort up on Red Lake (Rogers on Red) just shut down for winter yesterday. Some on our lake are doing it, too,” Kim Leonhardt said. "They're giving up with more than a month to go."

Ironically, the fishing has been pretty good for the people who do get out. But High Banks has had to shut down its public access to the lake as the resort staff works to get their own customers out to fishing spots.

Grand Rapids-area ice fishing guide Jeff Sundin wrote on his blog that many lakes this year are void of the usual hubbub of angling activity.

“The scene has been eerily quiet as I’ve traveled from lake to lake in search of fishing news to report,’’ Sundin noted. “Many of the area’s most popular fishing areas have had little or no traffic. Bait suppliers and tackle dealers report dismal sales of ice gear as well.”

Guys aren't getting out at all down here much either. Only good thing is, if there is one, with all the flooding last year, creating new areas where fish spawned, and the lack of anglers able to go fishing, predicting the fishing this Spring/Summer down here should be terrific, barring any more flooding.  (Big River magazine)

UPDATE: UN agency declares global emergency over virus from China


(AP) -- The World Health Organization has declared the outbreak of new virus from China a global emergency after the number of infected people spiked more than tenfold in a week. 

The United Nations health agency made the determination on Thursday as more cases of human-to-human transmission were being reported worldwide.   

To date, China has reported more than 7,800 cases, including 170 deaths.   Eighteen other countries have reported cases, as scientists race to understand how exactly the virus is spreading and how severe it is.

Rebel SS is right.  If you plan to get the REAL ID or ENHANSED ID, fill out the paper work on line.  This will drag you through the process and you can pick the documents you need and have available.  When complete, you can print a document to bring with you.  My son and I did this last Friday.  There were about 10 people in line (actually no line, just numbers) and three people working the desk.  It took about 20 minutes per person and about an hour we were out of there.  Of course, that doesn't mean we will get the license but it's a good start.  Cost me $47.00.  $15.00 extra for Enhanced license.  I though it's worth it in case I go to Canada (too see the prince) or cruse someplace down south.

Huh! Mine was $45 total, deadeye. I just put my birth certificate, soc sec card, 2 utility bills,  house insurance statement, and my pic ID's from the LEC and CC permit in an envelope, and gave them to the lady.
Actually didn't need the CC carry permit or LEC pics for ID...took me less than 10 mns. Just have it all together, and in order, and it shouldn't be a problem. Just no copies; has to be all original. Easy peasy. Same way I toss those tax ID thing, IRA year statements, charity giving receipts, in a big manila envelope as they come along over the year, along with the city and real estate taxes. When Tax day (next Tuesday for me) is due, grab the envelope and away ya go. No hunting or scrabbling around for anything.

Post by: deadeye on January 01/30/20, 05:45:40 PM
Couple things factor into the Driver's license price.  First is are you getting a duplicate license. You can do this when you change to Real ID and it's cheaper but you keep your same renewal date so check that so you don't have to go back in a year or so.  You can Renew your license (costs more) but it's now good for 4 more years.  Second is endorsements.  Third is do you want the "Real ID, or "Enhanced ID".  The Enhanced costs more.  And, lastly, they just figured I was good for a few more bucks.   :rotflmao:

Watched them all.  Breaking Bad was better but Mad Men was good.   Also watched all 98 episodes of Sons of Anarchy, great while on treadmill or elliptical.     Couldn't get into the wire, but might try again.  Likewise Sopranos.    Orange is new black was just dumb.

Revised North Broadway assessments stun nursing home

Randy Petersen rpetersen@postbulletin.com
Feb 1, 2020

Twenty-one of 120 parcels subject to assessment for the planned reconstruction of North Broadway Avenue are seeing huge increases to their expected tax contributions.  Samaritan Bethany’s nursing home complex, west of Broadway at 24 Eighth St. NW, is seeing the biggest jump, from $28,303 proposed in April 2019  to $218,972 using a revised formula based on estimated benefits to property values.“It seems a little excessive,” said Susan Knutson, Samaritan Bethany mission leader and CEO.In a letter to the city, Knutson said Samaritan Bethany is appealing the assessment to district court “unless we are able to reach an agreement with the city as to the amount of any proposed assessment resulting from the North Broadway project.”

The last one wanted a check before we'd even started cleaning the grills up! I've warned the club if this happens again I'm done. We've got enough leeches on society being supported with our taxes because some do-gooders decided they needed $$$ in order to get re-elected. Hungry? Go to the food shelf.

Description from the DMC website:

New Rapid Transit for a Growing, Equitable Rochester
The City of Rochester and Destination Medical Center are exploring economic development opportunities, transit-supportive land uses, public realm improvement options and infrastructure linked to a planned Rochester Rapid Transit system.

The proposed Rochester Rapid Transit corridor is 2nd Street SW and South Broadway Avenue. This has the potential to add mobility options for residents, employees and businesses, guide future growth and development in a smart way, and enhance well-being.
This open house is the beginning of a process to make decisions about the corridor, which includes the transit station, while anticipating future rapid transit. The open houses will also feature information on Rochester’s other multi-modal transit opportunities, including scooters, bikes, Rochester Public Transit, Arrive Rochester and carshare programs.

Please come to learn more and provide your input.

The next set of open houses will be held on April 7, 2020 and will focus on the station area plans.

Or they get a handler that doesn't let the dog off the leash in the dark.....pretty damned stoopid. That's why there are 20' leads when tracking. I've seen where the dog hits on another cop that was ''hidden'' in the dark....it comes down to the handler, IMO.

He should have to serve the same amount of time that the supposed perpetrators would have had to serve.  Maybe even plus some to cover the investigation of his sick scheme.

Incompetence.   Needs to be fixed, whether by more training, a change in procedures, or termination of offenders...  But I am sure the people have a union... dogs don't have unions.

I suppose the weight of the plow helps but those rock hard tires aren't the best I wouldn't think.  He does make it look good though.  Good for piling the snow up.

Might work on the flat w/some forklifts (pneumatic tires) if you scraped it down to start with & kept it scraped down. On hills & rough terrain or after an ice storm?  :scratch: I'm getting to be a wuss too. Like to stay warm. On the 2nd winter now with a heated tractor cab & I don't enjoy getting out.

I used to use the WD to move snow and it was fun for a few years.  Then I got tired of starting that so used my wheeler and plow that I kept in the heated garage.  Then I got hand warmers on it and thought I had it made.  Now I start the plow truck, let it warm up for a long time, then I hop in and turn the radio on and just take my time and have fun.   :sleazy:

Mayo Clinic Medical School accidentally sends out acceptance emails to prospective students


Thursday was a confusing roller coaster for students applying to the Rochester's Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine.

Students who had been interviewed by Mayo Clinic all received emails saying they had been accepted into the program. The good news caused many of the recipients to start celebrating and even to withdraw their names from consideration at other medical schools.

Then more than three hours later, another Mayo Clinic email notifying them of a glitch and that the first message was a mistake changed their jubilation to disappointment.


"... Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine erroneously emailed 364 letters of acceptance to talented, engaging individuals seeking an appointment to the medical school. Soon after the emails were sent, a technical error was discovered and the letters of acceptance were withdrawn by e-mail," wrote Mayo Clinic Spokeswoman Heather Carlson Kehren in statement late Thursday night. "All affected applicants have been contacted by phone. We deeply regret having caused disappointment to these applicants, and we are continuing to investigate the issue."

The confusing situation spurred much discussion among the students in the "2019-2020 Mayo Clinic (Alix), Minnesota" online forum on the Student Doctor Network.

They posted the second email from Mayo Clinic that stated, "Due to a technical error the appointment letter was sent to you in error, and Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine hereby withdraws the offer to appoint you to the medical school. We regret that this occurred."

That message did not impress many of the upset students, who felt Mayo Clinic was not very contrite about the mistake.

"In my head, I thought there would be way more apologizing," wrote one poster. Another wrote, "Looking at their 'apology' email it's obvious that the plan is to sweep this under the rug."  "it's despicable".

One Twin Cities student contacted the Post Bulletin to discuss the issue on the condition that their identity would remain anonymous.

"... The power imbalance between medical schools and applicants is egregious and this error only serves to highlight that. Applying to medical school is increasingly getting worse and worse (secondary app fees, flying out to interview costs, the time it takes to be notified of acceptances/waitlists/rejections)," the student wrote. "The least that one can ask for in this process is respect, and even that is a low priority for medical school admissions."

The discontent over the error spread to a discussion on reddit.com and other social sites, where the students organized a petition "to ship 500 boxes of expired mayonnaise to Mayo Clinic in honor of the 500 interviewees whose ‘Appointments’ (admissions) have expired."

                                  :shocked:

Fun? Read their posts, they're totally pissed off, and rightly so. Report the news properly, quit trying to cover up for Mayo, or don't report it at all!  :angry2:


On Thursday, February 13, 2020, Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine erroneously emailed approximately 360 letters of acceptance to talented, engaging individuals seeking an appointment at the medical school. Soon after the emails were sent, a technical error was discovered and the letters of acceptance were withdrawn. Shortly afterward, applicants were notified by email and phone call and those calls are still continuing. We deeply regret having caused disappointment to these applicants, and we are continuing to investigate the issue.

Today, some people are having a little fun with the mistake. Some are joining an online petition to ship hundreds of boxes of expired mayonnaise to Mayo Clinic in honor of the hundreds of applicants whose appointments to the school also expired.

One thing about being out here is the news is more fun...

Like this one...
https://ktla.com/2020/02/14/video-o-c-man-tries-to-fight-off-k-9-with-umbrella-after-pursuit-ends-in-dramatic-standoff-in-san-diego/
Dramatic video captured an Orange County man trying to fend off a K-9 with an umbrella following a series of alleged crimes that culminated in his arrest after a high-speed pursuit this week, the San Diego County Sheriff's Department said.

On Monday night, California Highway Patrol officers were investigating a hit-and-run crash on the southbound 5 Freeway just south of the La Costa exit in northern San Diego County when they discovered the vehicle involved had been stolen out of La Habra, according to a sheriff's news release.

The alleged hit-and-run driver had already fled the scene on foot.

A short time later, two San Diego County deputies who were still in the area searching for the driver spotted a Chrysler minivan speeding with its headlights off on the southbound 5, according to the release. They began following the vehicle.

Around the same time, sheriff's dispatch received a 911 call from someone reported a stolen minivan. The caller said an unknown man had entered the victim's home, threatened the resident, demanded the car keys and then took the vehicle.

Investigators linked the minivan to the one deputies were following on the freeway, authorities said.

CHP officers then became involved again and initiated a pursuit of the stolen vehicle, which was still headed south on the 5 Freeway at that point.

The chase then went on the southbound 805 Freeway and northbound 15 Freeway, where the minivan abruptly stopped in the middle of the lanes near the El Cajon Boulevard exit in San Diego.

The driver, identified by the Sheriff's Department as 42-year-old Daniel Medina, allegedly threatened law enforcement personnel at the scene, according to the release.

At that point, deputies shot out the driver's-side window and released a K-9, according to San Diego television station KGTV.

Video from the scene showed the police dog jumping through the broken glass window as the driver tried to escape. The man used an umbrella to try and fight off the K-9, repeatedly striking the dog, according to the footage.

But the K-9 refused to let go, remaining locked on the suspect's arm as the man walked across freeway lanes to awaiting officers, the video showed.

Sports Performance facility owned by Vikings teammates Sherels, Thielen to open Sunday in Rochester


It started off as Minnesota Vikings locker room talk, but now it's official.

ETS Performance, a sports performance facility, will open in Rochester on Sunday.

The club is owned by former Minnesota Vikings teammates Marcus Sherels and Adam Thielen, along with founder Ryan Englebert.


"We're really excited," Sherels said. "It's something that Adam and I have been talking about for awhile, in the locker room, kind of jokingly. But to bring something like this to Rochester, we think it's going to be a really good thing."

The 32-year-old Sherels is a John Marshall grad who went on to play football at the University of Minnesota before having a standout career with the Vikings from 2010-19. Sherels holds nearly all of the Vikings' career punt return records.

Sherels and Thielen were teammates for six seasons with the Vikings, from 2014-19.

Sherels will be on hand when ETS Performance — located at 5931 Bandel Road NW — has its grand opening at 7 p.m. Sunday. Thielen, a current wide receiver for the Vikings, will be unable to attend, but he will make an appearance at a later date.

"I will be there and I will be talking a little bit," Sherels said. "We're trying to create a buzz and have a bunch of people sign up and just come out."

The public is welcome to check out the facility during the grand opening. Englebert will also attend and go over the sign-up process.

ETS Performance is not a typical workout facility. It provides a lot of one-on-one training.

"We're open to anyone who wants to come in and try to improve their craft," Sherels said. "And it's no different than an AP (Advanced Placement) class, except it's with sports, and getting better and training. It's just trying to improve and working with people who have the same competitive mindset."

Rochester native Jake Kirsch is the manager of the club. Kirsch played football at John Marshall and at Rochester Community and Technical College. He was also on the University of Minnesota roster for two seasons.

This will be the 10th ETS Performance club and the sixth in Minnesota.

Heard the interview with the Rutgers women's BB coach yesterday and she almost made it sound like she favored her black players over her white players. Rather than continuing to dredge this stuff up, isn't it time for the pity party to end and not worry about their origins?
i havent heard about that, but,

"gettin in LIKE "...ya, great english. Like ya, like.....like....valley girl?

WTH is a "Chester"freezer? Something from Gunsmoke that freezes Chester?  :scratch:

Yesterday, they were talking about the upcoming "Flee" market...guess ya haveta run from it...🏃‍♂️

The other weekm they were talking about the river being high and washing out some of the "Rif Raff".....do they mean the city council? It's RIP RAP, dopey!

The president says it is necessary for the safety of the United States. Immigrants from countries including Myanmar, Nigeria, Sudan and Tanzania are now bared from entering the country.

The Trump administration claims these countries do a pool job of sharing terrorist, criminal or identity information with U.S. authorities and therefore immigration from these countries could be dangerous to U.S. citizens.

Springing ahead for good? Minnesota lawmakers consider a move to permanent daylight saving time


State Capitol

ST. PAUL — As Minnesotans prepare to spring forward for daylight saving time next week, lawmakers are taking up a proposal to keep Minnesota on that time zone for good.

Members of the Senate Committee on Local Government on Tuesday, Feb. 25, on a voice vote advanced a proposal to make Minnesota's official time zone advanced standard time. The move would put the state on permanent daylight saving time if the federal government approved the shift.

Sen. Mary Kiffmeyer, R-Big Lake, brought the bill and said it would help reduce health issues related to the twice-yearly change to move an hour forward in the spring and fall back an hour in the autumn.

"I think the public health and public safety issues that come with these one-hour changes in the fall, that seems to upset people more than anything," Kiffmeyer said. "And the only way we can get to having that consistent year-round time with the gentle movement that the sun gives us in the daylight and how that shifts is by adapting to daylight saving time when the federal government should pass that."

Democrats in the Minnesota House of Representatives have put forth a similar proposal. Leaders in both chambers of the divided government have said they're open to the change.

Kiffmeyer said she would also check with Minnesota's surrounding states to see whether they'd take up similar proposals. Iowa is weighing a similar plan and South Dakota's House of Representatives voted down a proposal to permanently adopt daylight saving time earlier this month. North Dakota last year rejected a proposal to permanently put the state on the Central Time Zone.

I would just a soon have it stay one way I guess.  The staying daylight savings time keeps it light later in the day.  I read that about 16 other states may do it too.

Yupper. Leave it one way or the other, allowing that some businesses, schools, etc., may opt to adjust their hours during the winter months so that stumbling around in the dark isn't a potential dealbreaker. With the multiple methods of communication at our disposal these days it should be relatively easy to figure it out if they do. I certainly am not looking forward to turning that clock ahead a week from Sunday tho. Doing chores in the dark again all the sudden sucks. "But, but, but, you have that extra hour at night!" the DST diehards say. Ya, and if it's light out I'm generally outside working. Eff that! Leave the damn clocks alone!  :angry:

I'm pretty sure the nationwide 55 mph was put into law during the Nixon/Ford administration and ended during Reagan's presidency. I remember my dad carrying a couple gas cans in the trunk during the years of really long lines at the gas stations.

OK, two years.   Carter sure didn't do anything about it.   Didn't like him at all.  Had high hopes but they were dashed...
Got the last 8% mortgage, more or less the last anyway, in 76 in Rochester.  Figured I would refi.   Rates only went up from there.

BREAKING NEWS


Military contractor & Rochester native charged with espionage


(ABC 6 News) - The Justice Department says Defense Department linguist, Mariam Taha Abdul Thompson, formerly of Rochester, has been charged with giving classified information to a person with ties to a foreign terrorist organization.

Federal prosecutors say the 61-year-old gave information, including names of American intelligence assets, to a Lebanese national with direct ties to Hezbollah, endangering the lives of those assets and American military personnel.

“The conduct alleged in this complaint is a grave threat to national security, placed lives at risk, and represents a betrayal of our armed forces.  The charges we’ve filed today should serve as a warning to anyone who would consider disclosing classified national defense information to a terrorist organization,” said U.S. Attorney Timothy J. Shea for the District of Columbia.

Well, once again the power went off for 1 1/2 hrs in the city of gold. 2nd time already this year; 4 times last year, last time was over 5 hrs. I can't believe that any other city (except california PE) has continual power issues like here. Washer and dryer were right in the middle of running....soup cooking on stove. I gotta get outta this Weedpatch.  :banghead: Sewer main break out front this winter...water main break, end of street...last Spring....natural gas underground pipe leak....3 yrs ago. (That took tearing up my entire yard and driveway slabs) If they'd spend some of the heavily taxed money they're whacking us with to fix these damned aging pieces of infrastructure, instead of glitz and glamour high-rise hotels for mayo, we wouldn't have these issues. Latest is the sewage plant says they are running past capacity and we badly need a new one.  And Mayo plans on bringing in 27,000 more people. Roads are nothing but a mass of potholes. (They were actually rated some of the worst in the state)  The guy from the gas company told me when they were running new lines 3 years ago, it really should have been done in the late 80's, as some lines were 50 years old.  He said the gas meters on our houses aren't even used anymore!  This place is gonna self-implode. Excuse me while I go re-set all the clocks, the microwave, phone, TV, stereo, water softener...........

At present they don't have a clue....

Never ends here. Mom just had fall #8 at the damned place she's in yday, (Again, that;'s 3 in a week) wasn't informed again until today. I'm supposed to be called immediately to obtain guidance as her state appt guardian/medical person. No one called. I filed complaint with the State, Dept of health, Olmsted county social services, Eldercare, and state ombudsman. I need to go look at other places ASAP to get her out of there immediately. So, I'm back at square one like two years ago. It just never seems to end..............I truly hope no one else ever has to go thru this $h**.

That sort of makes sense.

We know this is very contagious, but I'm not really sure if we have a handle on just how contagious it is.

Do you get it just by breathing the same air as someone who is infected?  Or do you have to grab a doorknob that an infected person touched with their dirty hands?   :confused:

Assuming the virus is very, very contagious, I can see why the NBA did this.  It wouldn't take long to have players from every team in the league infected.  All it takes is one person on the court to get things rolling so they are operating out of an abundance of caution.

Ya darn near gotta have a road map or a flow chart just to keep up with Omar & all of her marital partners.

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar reveals she is MARRIED to her chief fundraiser lover after they were spotted together wearing wedding rings (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8102949/Congresswoman-Ilhan-Omar-reveals-MARRIED-former-aide-lover.html)

From the article...

"... sources in the Somali community in Minneapolis say she was forced into announcing the nuptials [with Mynett] because of articles on DailyMail.com.

The Minneapolis Star-Tribune said the couple had married 'in the Islamic faith'.

Omar has had a complicated marriage history, including allegations that she married her own brother.

She married her first husband, Ahmed Hirsi in 2002 in an Islamic ceremony that — like many in the Somali community was not registered with state authorities — and had two children with him.

But in 2009 she married British citizen Ahmed Elmi in a civil ceremony in Eden Prairie, Minnesota. She said she had an Islamic divorce from Hirsi before that ceremony.

Her marriage to Elmi allowed him to get student loans to attend North Dakota State University — an issue that is now being probed by the FBI.

She and Elmi — who now lives in east Africa — split in 2011, but did not divorce until 2017, the year before she again married Hirsi, with whom she had already had a third child.

But Hirsi and Omar divorced in November last year after he had flown to Washington, D.C. to pay her a surprise visit — only to find her in her apartment with Mynett, both of them wearing only pajamas.

Mynett, 38, was married to Dr. Beth Jordan, the head of the District of Columbia prison system's medical team. They divorced a month after Omar did.

Omar, who represents a district based in Minneapolis, has long denied an affair with Mynett."

HARLAN, Iowa (AP) -- An Iowa judge has ordered a psychological evaluation of a Kansas man who asked the judge to let him engage in a sword fight with his ex-wife and her attorney so that he can "rend their souls" from their bodies.

David Ostrom, of Paola, Kansas, said in a Jan. 3 court filing that his former wife in Harlan, Iowa, and her attorney had destroyed him legally.

She subsequently asked the judge to suspend Ostrom's visitation rights and order an evaluation. The judge granted both requests last week.

Ostrom told The Des Moines Register that he has an appointment scheduled with a psychologist.

Created: March 18, 2020 03:59 PM

(ABC 6 News) - The City of Rochester is reminding residents to only flush toilet paper due to increased demand and shortage of the product as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

According to a press release from the city, it has been known that non-flushable materials such as baby wipes, napkins and paper towels are being disposed of and are posing an increased risk to homeowners and the Water Reclamation Plant due to the shortage of toilet paper.

"We ask that our community members pay extra attention to what they are using and flushing and remind you not to flush anything other than toilet paper," the press release states. This was from the City sewage plant.

They recommends that these products are not flushable and must be disposed of in a wastbasket.   :puke:

(ABC 6 News) -- A Rochester resident has been federally charged with attempting to provide material support to ISIS.
 
The U.S. Attorney's Office says 28-year-old Muhammad Masood was arrested Thursday at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.  According to the court complaint, Masood is a licensed medical doctor in Pakistan and was formerly employed as a research coordinator at a large medical clinic in Rochester.
   
Masood allegedly made several statements pledging his allegiance to ISIS and reportedly expressed his desire to conduct "lone wolf" terrorist attacks in the U.S.
   
The case is a result of an ongoing investigation conducted by the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force.

Now this is what I call news!!!!!  :doah:    :puke:



What are people flushing in SE Minnesota?


Despite all the memes and comments on social media — plus the empty shelves in the grocery stores — there's no replacement for toilet paper, at least when it comes to flushing.

"It's almost like a joke going around," said Chelsea Wiegand, environmental specialist with Rochester's Water Reclamation Plant. "We're not telling you what to use to wipe, we're just telling you not to flush it."

From big cities like Rochester and Austin to smaller towns like Pine Island, wastewater treatment facilities are bracing for an onslaught of items that should never be flushed.

"We have about 20 lift stations around town," said Steve Lang, public works director for the city of Austin. "Those are the first areas that will be impacted by people putting 'flushable' wipes or other non-degrading items in the toilet."

Lang repeated what wastewater officials across Southeast Minnesota — likely, around the world — are saying: Just because something is called "flushable" on the box doesn't mean it belongs down the toilet. In fact, other than toilet paper and human waste, nothing should get flushed. That, Lang said, includes everything from facial tissues and paper towels to feminine products and GI Joe figures.

"We'll likely see some issues by the end of the week with our pumps if that's occurring," he said, referring to an influx of items beyond waste and toilet paper getting flushed.

Lang said any problem with increasing amounts of non-flushable items coming down the wastewater infrastructure will likely show up at the lift stations or at the homeowners' own plumbing before the items make it to the wastewater treatment plant.

"It'll take a while for them to build up," he said.

Todd Robertson, pubic works director for the city of Pine Island, said thus far the wastewater plant in his city hasn't seen an uptick of non-flushable items. But anecdotal conversations he and his staff have had lead him to believe it's just a matter of time.

"Right now, we really haven't seen anything," Robertson said. "I was in there this morning, and it didn't look out of the ordinary."

That hasn't stopped Robertson and the city from putting out reminders to the city's residents. A list of items not to be flushed went up on the city's Facebook page. That same reminder will likely be in this month's water bills.

Roberts said the public has a long history of flushing things that shouldn't be flushed. Everything from feminine products to dental floss makes its way through the system to the wastewater treatment plant.

Wiegand said that long before the COVID-19 outbreak had people hoarding toilet paper, making others consider alternatives to TP, Rochester has seen an uptick of items flushed that shouldn't be. One of the biggest culprits has been "flushable" wipes, she said.

The problem, Wiegand said, is that anything other than toilet paper is not designed to break down the same way, so it builds up with other items to create clogs.

"They have a huge potential to cause problems in home plumbing, in the sewer pipes and at the plant," she said.

While she worries about city infrastructure, her bigger concern is that homeowners will flush things that clog up their own toilets or the pipes that run from their homes to the sewer pipes in the street, mainly because the pipes in and from the house are usually of a smaller diameter, meaning they're more likely to clog.

"It's not fun to have raw wastewater in your house," Wiegand said. "You don't want to have a plumber coming into your house, especially now."

Like Robertson and Lang, Wiegand said Rochester officials expect to see more non-flushable items in the system soon.

"I can't think of a time there's been a toilet paper shortage," she said. "I had to end up borrowing from a friend."

Report: Navy ships need $400K 'flushes' to unclog toilets


NORFOLK, Va. (AP) - Toilets on two Virginia-based Navy aircraft carriers that have become repeatedly clogged could require treatments costing $400,000 each to get them working properly, a U.S. Government Accountability Office report found.

The recently-built USS Gerald R. Ford and USS George H.W. Bush were made with sewage systems similar to those used on commercial aircraft, but increased to accommodate more than 4,000 people, The Virginian-Pilot said, citing the report. But the pipes turned out to be too narrow to handle the volume of sailors flushing toilets at the same time, Shelby Oakley of the U.S. Government Accountability Office told the newspaper.

Navy maintenance crews determined both Norfolk-based aircraft carriers' sewage systems could require costly acid flushes, potentially regularly, to fix the problem, according to the report. Officials said they did not know how many times the treatments would be needed.

The Accountability Office report, requested by the Senate Armed Services Committee, found 150 other examples of maintenance problems across ships in the Navy's fleet that could require more than $130 billion in maintenance.

"Existing policies and guidance have not ensured that new ships are reliable and can be sustained as planned," the newspaper quoted the report as saying.

Post by: Steve-o on April 04/14/20, 12:17:10 PM
I don't mean to be stirring the pot, but isn't At-will employment in play for many folks.

"At-will employment is a term used in U.S. labor law for contractual relationships in which an employee can be dismissed by an employer for any reason (that is, without having to establish "just cause" for termination), and without warning,[1] as long as the reason is not illegal (e.g. firing because of the employee's race or religion). When an employee is acknowledged as being hired "at will," courts deny the employee any claim for loss resulting from the dismissal. The rule is justified by its proponents on the basis that an employee may be similarly entitled to leave his or her job without reason or warning. The practice is seen as unjust by those who view the employment relationship as characterized by inequality of bargaining power."

-from Wikipedia, The Font of All Truth and My Personal Source of All Legal Advice.   ;)
Title: Re: What next?!
Post by: Rebel SS on April 04/14/20, 12:19:48 PM
It is. Some states aren't, Minnesota is. From the Minnesota judicial legal employment:

Minnesota is an employment "at will" state. An employee can quit for any reason; an employer can fire any employee for any reason as long as that reason is not illegal, such as discrimination based on race, creed, color, sex, national origin, ancestry, religion, age, disability, sexual orientation or marital status

Yup. Been on all sides of this issue: as an employee, an employer and a consumer. Employees who are perpetual malcontents are poison. From an employers perspective, they underachieve, they infect other workers with their negative attitudes and they do nothing positive for the public image of the company. As an employee they make going to work a drag. Hearing nothing but negative all day every day wears on a person enough so it makes one want to look for another job just to get away from the Negative Nelly. My attitude has always been I was looking for a job when I found this one. Go someplace else. And as a consumer, it turns my stomach to be waited on by individuals like that. Makes me less likely to go in the place for fear I'll have to deal with the dink or another one like them. Fortunately those people tend to weed themselves out after a while. From the employers perspective again, you can try and try to help them but it's like feeding a runt bottle lamb with little will to live. Eventually the light bulb has to come on or you're better off cutting your losses and getting rid of them.

After nearly a century, Land O'Lakes removing Native American maiden from its packaging




ARDEN HILLS, Minn. — Land O’Lakes is quietly changing its look, and the Native American maiden that has been kneeling on the Minnesota company's butter and dairy packaging for nearly a century is disappearing.

Land O’Lakes President and CEO Beth Ford said in a news release that the company is repackaging its products as the company “looks toward our 100th anniversary.” The company plans to add images of their farmer-owners “whose milk is used to produce Land O’Lakes products,” Ford said.

“As a farmer-owned co-op, we strongly feel the need to better connect the men and women who grow our food with those who consume it,” Ford said. “Our farmer-to-fork structure gives us a unique ability to bridge this divide."

A reporter contacted Land O’Lakes for additional comment, and spokesperson Natalie Long said the packaging shift is meant to focus on the farmers behind the company's butter, and other products. It is unclear if the Native maiden image will disappear completely at this time.

Land O’Lakes was founded by a group of Minnesota dairy farmers in 1921, and the new packaging, which is already starting to show up in grocery stores, will be added to tub butter spreads, food service products, deli cheese and in the spring and summer on stick butter packages, said the news release issued Feb. 6.

The Native American maiden, named Mia, first appeared on Land O’Lakes packaging in 1928, seven years after the Minnesota Cooperative Creameries Association was founded by 320 farmers in St. Paul. Arthur C. Hanson, who was the first illustrator for the ad firm Brown and Bigelow, came up with the original design evoking rural Minnesota with a blue lake, green pine trees and a Native woman in a buckskin dress and feather headdress.

Since then, the packaging changed twice, once in 1939 and a second time in the 1950s when Patrick DesJarlait, an Ojibwe artist, was hired to revamp the depiction, according to a student-run blog of Villanova University’s History Graduate Program.

Native people have called the imagery racist, and that it goes “hand-in-hand with with human and sex trafficking of our women and girls.… by depicting Native women as sex objects,” according to Rep. Ruth Buffalo, D-Fargo, who is a registered member of the Mandan, Hidatsa Arikara Nation, and is from Fort Berthold Reservation.

“Yes, it’s a good thing for the company to remove the image. It’s kinda like with land acknowledgements, it’s a good gesture and a step forward. But we can’t stop there. We as a whole need to keep pushing forward to address the underlying issues that directly impact an entire population that survived genocide,” Buffalo said.

Attempts to contact members of the Ojibwe nation for additional comment were unsuccessful.

Whoa!  :shocked:


LOS ANGELES (AP) - Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. agreed Tuesday to pay a record $25 million fine to resolve criminal charges that it served tainted food that sickened more than 1,100 people in the U.S. from 2015 to 2018, federal prosecutors said.

The fast food company was charged in Los Angeles federal court with two counts of violating the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act by serving adulterated food that in some instances caused outbreaks of norovirus, which causes diarrhea, vomiting and abdominal cramps, at restaurants. The virus is spread easily by people mishandling food.

The company admitted that poor safety practices, such as not keeping food at proper temperatures to prevent pathogen growth, sickened customers in Los Angeles and nearby Simi Valley, as well as Boston, Sterling, Virginia and Powell, Ohio.

The Newport Beach, California-based company will avoid conviction by instituting a better food safety program.

Federal prosecutors said the fine was the largest fine in a food safety case.

"Chipotle failed to ensure that its employees both understood and complied with its food safety protocols, resulting in hundreds of customers across the country getting sick," U.S. Attorney Nick Hanna said in a statement. "Today's steep penalty, coupled with the tens of millions of dollars Chipotle already has spent to upgrade its food safety program since 2015, should result in greater protections for Chipotle customers and remind others in the industry to review and improve their own health and safety practices."

Outbreaks of norovirus began in August 2015 when 234 consumers and employees at a Chipotle in Simi Valley became ill. An employee who vomited was sent home, but the illness was not reported internally, as required, and food safety procedures weren't implemented until two days later after multiple customers reported becoming ill.

Over the course of nine days in December 2015, 141 people reported norovirus type illnesses after visiting a Chipotle restaurant in Boston. Prosecutors said that outbreak was likely caused after an employee was ordered to continue working after vomiting in the restaurant.

A catering order from the establishment two days later sickened members of the Boston College basketball team.

In July 2018, nearly 650 people were sickened after dining at a Chipotle restaurant in Powell, Ohio. That outbreak was tied to bacteria that proliferates when food is not kept at proper temperatures.

Unlike most fast food places Chipotle prepared food on site.   If nobody was there taking care of business, standards of food safety slipped.

The youngest niece is up in Del's & Reb's neighborhood & when Sis/BIL would go see her they'd eat at the 1 there just off 52. Liked it enough & ate there enough that I got her a gift card at Christmas 1 year. Don't think they ever got sick eatin there. :scratch:

If you are talking about Georgia, that wasn't a kid but they did shoot him down after playing cop and vigilante.   
You missed the shooting in St Paul after a fender bender.   That one still seems strange...

I did not read the article. However, ever since the voters got the amendment passed years ago St. Paul has been trying to get their hands on that money. Fortunately wording in the amendment makes that very difficult.  It embarrasses me to see what happens to these people the minute they get elected, they need to spend every single dime they see. During election season they seem like relatively smart people who might actually have some concerns for humanity. Elect them and they turn into Ali Babba and the Forty Thieves. Well except for Walz, we knew exactly what we were getting with him. He will spend us into oblivion.

Sad to think that the virus actually saved us. Prior to the outbreak they were fighting over how to spend that huge tax surplus. (remember, it was a PROJECTED SURPLUS not actual money in hand) Turns out with the virus it is now forecast to be about $1.4 billion short. So had they spent it we would be $1.4 billion behind the 8 ball in addition to the couple billion the virus will cost us in the state. And that doesn't take into account the millions & billions more Walz will try and push through on programs he will link to the virus.

Yes the virus will turn out to be our friend here in Minnesota.  :pouty:

I did read the article, an it's a little more complicated than it first appears.    The issue is helping small towns upgrade their sewage treatment facilities, and the money is from the portion of the state lottery proceeds dedicated to environment.   The small towns that are slowly fading away don't have the money to do it.   

No mention of the Lessard money from the sales tax, which is a different bucket.     This money is from one portion of the lottery.    Since I don't buy those lottery tickets, I really have no standing to comment about it.

Ok, my bad. As I said I didn't read the article. I just assumed (incorrectly) that it was the Lessard money they were after again. Lottery money? I couldn't care less I guess.

As understood the article, that fund was voted and approved by voters for the environment, and yes the arts etc. Since that's been in place, I guess my point was the politicians are always trying to get there grubby hands on those funds for things it's not intended. Yes some of it is earmarked for waste water but they want to use it for covid. My take anyway. :scratch:

Yup catalytic converters have been a hot topic as of late in my area as well,my shop lost 11 one night last spring off new cargo vans,most often the thieves use a sawalls causing a complete exhaused redo,from front to rear...most often these thieves like the trucks and vans,easy access to the converter as cars sit to low to the ground these days,converters replacement cost around $1700 alone,cops tell me scape metal shops pay around $300 each for the platinum used in these converters,our shop has begun marking converters so scrape metal places are on alert.

Good spot to put this....went out to Menardo's house of Bargains yday for an AC cover. Online shows many versions, all in stock. Normally I use the top half of those heavy duty contactor garbage bags, but the new AC is too big. Get there, can't find 'em, asked girl where they were. Leads me wandering all over the store like Billy leaving the xxx trail in Family Circus. End up in portable AC aisle. "They should be in here"...which obviously no covers were. Told her it was for a CENTRAL AC...."let me go find some help"....after about 5 mns standing there, went looking for HER. Found her and 2 others looking on computer at kiosk. "No, I don't think we have any". Show them online printout I had, one girl says "they're upstairs". Wait about another 10 mns, she comes down and says "not up there". So she drags me over to doors and insulation aisle, and she's looking thru the screen door HARDWARE....!!!! I asked her "You do know a big cover isn't going to be in a little bubble pack in screen door handles, right?" "Ya,...as she keeps pawing thru the little packages.
I said Oh **** it and walked out. Called store Mgr this am, he said they're right out on display as of last week in the window kits/weatherstrip aisle. Told me some heads are gonna get chopped today in upcoming meeting. I also have a 20 buck one he's giving me for $5 getting delivered to my door this am...  :sleazy:
If they'd train these kiddies right, these things wouldn't happen. None of the three coulda been over 21 years old. It was unreal when one girl was looking for a big cover in the little hanging pkgs of door hardware... :doah:

Yep, its always been said, "Its hard to find good help." 

Trouble is, those kids don't have any life experience - home owning, etc.  I'll bet it is harder to make connections in the brain when you can't relate to what you are selling.

i simply use a heavier tarp that fits around my AC unit. use various straps and tie downs to secure it. i'm still going to cover it!!!!!!

I put a cover on that goes halfway down, leave rest open for air flow, because it is right under a pine tree and adjacent to a huge maple. If I don't cover it, it gets full of pine needles and maple whirlies. They sit in the bottom of the unit and rot away, until I pull the top with motor off and clean it out. It also gets hit with snow that I roof rake off, falls straight down on top of it. Don't really wanna start tearing the top off my brand new AC unit....

If'n you don't cover the van coils in the summer, why do you need to cover them in the winter?   :confused:  It ain't like a tarp is going to keep them any warmer.  And there aren't any cottonwood seeds in the winter to gum up the grating.

Asked the neighbor, who is a nearly 40 year HVAC/furnace/ AC tech, & he said he just puts an old car floormat on top of his to keep the leaves out. He didn't recommend wrapping them up as he said that can lead to issues with moisture & then the coils can crack when they freeze in the winter. He's also seen issues with rodents when they're all wrapped up too. :scratch: :confused:

And then I'd have to ask the girl where the AC caps where, and have her take me to the outerwear aisle.  :doofus:  Some years ago, I went into Penney's for a new flannel shirt. Here is the honest to god scenario: Asked the about 18 yo girl with all the piercings where the men's flannel shirts were. "You mean like a certain cloth?"  Me: "Ya, flannel. Usually comes in plaid design or solid color." Her: "Like is it cotton?"  Me: Ya, LIKE  flannel, soft". "Her: Oh, like they must be over here"...we do the Family Circle x x x  trail all over and thru the men's dept. She doesn't have a clue.....Her: "Like, I don't think we have any".....

Ya gotta watch out for those danged fog lines.........


Rochester, Mn.

(ABC 6 News) -- Authorities said two women were riding in a camper being pulled by a pickup truck when they got in a crash.

It happened around 4:00 Monday afternoon on Viola Road in Haverhill Township. According to the Olmsted County Sheriff's Office, 26-year-old Jontrell Overton-Smith of Kasson was driving the pickup. A 24-year-old Stewartville man was a passenger in the truck, and two women, 23 and 30 from Rochester, were riding in the camper.

Authorities say the passenger in the truck noticed Overton-Smith falling asleep at the wheel, and the truck was drifting over the fog line. The passenger told deputies he grabbed the wheel to try to correct it, but the truck drove onto the shoulder and the camper fishtailed into the ditch. The camper got knocked onto its side and was destroyed.
The 30-year-old woman riding in the camper was sent to the hospital with non life threatening injuries.

When deputies got there, they arrested Overton-Smith on suspicion of DWI. They also said they found amphetamines and marijuana on him.

Overton-Smith is facing charges of DWI and 5th-degree possession of a controlled substance.

I believe it is actually legal to ride in the camper contrary to what I was told as I grew up.  BUT you are at the mercy of anything that hits that flimsy box.  NO protection whatsoever.  I have seen a few that were in the ditch and people were picking up their belongings after a gust of wind. Completely demolished.

ROCHESTER, Minn. (KTTC) -- A mother has been sentenced for leaving her children in a hot car in Rochester.

Dectrini LaTanisha Boldien, 30, pleaded guilty to neglect and endangerment of a child. She will serve two years of supervised probation, as well as pay a $175 fine or do 17 hours of community work service.

Back in April, police pulled three children ages one, three, and four years old out of a car in the Olmsted County Government Center parking lot after Boldien allegedly left them to attend a court appearance.

Officers said the kids were lethargic, unresponsive, and drenched in sweat.

They were taken to Mayo-St. Marys Hospital via ambulance.

Just some food for thought/perusal....what's your take?


Legal experts and law enforcement weigh in on use of force rights

Emily Pofahl
Created: September 29, 2021 05:57 PM

(ABC 6 News) - A Glenville man is arrested after he used a gun to try and stop someone from stealing his truck. Now, he's facing charges. 

38-year-old James Vinton of Glenville is facing charges of 2nd-degree assault with a dangerous weapon for shooting at a man he caught trying to steal his truck off his property. Vinton says he was just trying to scare the man off when he accidentally shot him.


The gunshot victim, Andre Williams is expected to make a full recovery and isn't yet facing charges.

For many that raises questions: Why was Vinton charged for trying to defend his property? Doesn't Minnesota law protect our right to self defense?


"You have a right to protect your property within reason. The operative word in this statute is reasonable. You're allowed to use reasonable force," Freeborn County Sheriff Kurt Freitag said.

For most situations, experts say using a gun is not reasonable because it's a lethal weapon.

"For somebody that thinks for example okay if someone comes on my two hundred acre farm I'm allowed to take out my shotgun and shoot at them and I'm being perfectly protected under the law. The answer is no you're not," said David Schultz, a law professor at the University of Minnesota and Hamline University.

In self-defense situations, Minnesota does not have a "stand your ground" law. This means you first have to try to run away before you try and defend yourself. Law enforcement suggests people consider all their options before acting with force in any situation.

"I would always encourage them to contact their sheriff's office or police department," Sheriff Freitag said.

Experts suggest you exhaust all other options before using lethal weapons to defend yourself and keep them entirely out of property disputes.

Had the guy fired a warning shot in the air he likely wouldn't be in trouble. Had he shot a perp breaking into his house he likely wouldn't be in trouble. Had he not shot at all he definitely wouldn't be in trouble.

It was a vehicle, nobody was in his house, it wasn't a car jacking. While I'm not anti gun I do think using your head is your responsibility.

COLLEGEVILLE, Minn. (AP) - The College of St. Benedict and St. John's University are investigating allegations that some male students started a competition this fall to tally sexual encounters with female students.

The allegations were first reported by the student newspaper, The Record.

A spokeswoman for the schools wouldn't provide details, but said they have been investigating since they learned about the allegations in late September.

The Institute for Women's Leadership at the College of St. Benedict is encouraging St. Benedict students to walk out of class Thursday afternoon and participate in a sit-in to demand action and stand up against sexual misconduct.

Pablo Escobar's hippos recognized as legal persons in the U.S.

By Wade Sheridan


Around 100 hippos descended from hippos previously owned by Pablo Escobar are the first non-human creatures to be legally considered people by a U.S. court. File Photo by Bill Greenblatt/UPI | License Photo
Oct. 22 (UPI) -- A group of about 100 hippos, who are descendants of hippos that were owned by late drug lord Pablo Escobar, have been recognized as legal persons in the U.S.

This marks the first time ever that non-human creatures have been legally considered people.


The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio recognized the hippos as legal persons recently, an important step in trying to save the animals as authorities in Colombia have discussed killing them since 2009.

Escobar illegally imported animals at his ranch in Colombia until his death in 1993. The animals were sent to other zoos with the exception of four hippos too difficult to move. The four have now multiplied over the years with authorities referring to them as an invasive species.

Colombian attorney Luis Domingo Gómez Maldonado filed a lawsuit on the animals' behalf in July to save them from being killed, stating that sterilization would be a better option.

Non-human animals in Colombia have the right to bring lawsuits to protect their interests. Interested parties in the country are allowed to go to a federal court in the U.S. to obtain documents or testimony.

The Animal Defense League applied on behalf of the hippos and to compel two Ohio wildlife experts who study nonsurgical sterilization to provide testimony.

"Animals have the right to be free from cruelty and exploitation, and the failure of U.S. courts to recognize their rights impedes the ability to enforce existing legislative protections," Animal Legal Defense Fund Executive Director Stephen Wells said in a statement.

"The court's order authorizing the hippos to exercise their legal right to obtain information in the United States is a critical milestone in the broader animal status fight to recognize that animals have enforceable rights," he continued
.

BLM made a bunch of money by being in the news. Much like the NRA with terrorist threats and the government taking away your guns after a mass shooting. Some organizations need to be in the headlines to survive and BLM is one of those. They need cop shootings or bad arrests so they have something / someway to protest.

Post by: dutchboy on November 11/13/21, 08:43:19 AM
It's illegal to incite a riot however it's not illegal to fear what may happen. Many times the people who "threaten" a action are nowhere to be found when it actually happens. Somebody else actually gets the ball rolling. Much like a head of a national union can talk about a strike but it's the locals who actually vote & walk.

Thats my opinion anyway, somebody else may see it differently.

Are they ignoring the law or are they just under staffed? I see all the time that illegals are sent back when they are caught. Unfortunately there aren't that many caught vs how many entering. If they were ignoring the law completely they would just abandon the entry points.

I understand the hatered towards the illegals. Taking jobs, paying no taxes, free governments programs ect, ect. But....many of these people have nowhere else to turn to improve there lives, lift themselves out of poverty. I don't blame them one bit for wanting to try and get here. If our country was a cesspool wouldn't we all try and get into Canada if we could improve our lives? Hell, we have people flocking to South Dakota to save on taxes!

I agree that something has to be done about the border, but I think thats far from our biggest problem.

Wow, you have really been missing the news some how. Biden has pretty much turned ICEs and the Border guard into tourist helpers. Their loading them on to planes and dropping them off in cities throughout the country. There are state Governors on the radio everyday talking about the problems they are being forced to deal with. And not only are they not getting shots for Covid.  Are great leader is talking about giving family's $100,000s of dollars to help them each. People really need to stop watching CNN and MSNBC before it's to late. He's forcing us all to wear masks and get shots or dont work. And just leaving the flood gate of a border wide open with folks we have to pay for with our taxes. 🤪

oh yes it does!!!  and here it is!!

A man selling a "ghost gun" shot the prospective buyer, an Avon teenager, in the chest with the weapon before driving off with the victim's money.

That's according to charges filed in Stearns County District Court Thursday against Grant A. Monaghan, pictured above. The 20-year-old St. Cloud man is not accused of pulling the trigger, but prosecutors allege he helped set up the transaction and was in the car Tuesday morning when the shooting occurred.

The victim, who has not been identified, stumbled to a neighbor's house immediately after being shot and called 911. The bullet, fired from a .40 caliber weapon, went through his chest and out his back, resulting in "significant" injuries the charges say. He was taken to North Memorial Hospital and underwent surgery, where the complaint says he remained "heavily sedated and intubated." The Stearns County Sheriff's Office said Thursday he was in stable condition.

Monaghan is charged with aiding and abetting second-degree assault, as well as aiding and abetting aggravated robbery with a firearm. He turned himself into police, the charges say, and explained how the shooting stemmed from the sale of a "ghost gun" — a firearm that is assembled from separate parts purchased online, and therefore not traceable, the complaint says.


Here's what happened, according to Monaghan's account in the criminal complaint:

A week or two before the shooting, Monaghan learned an acquaintance known as "Smurf" was trying to sell a "ghost gun." Monaghan agreed to help find a buyer in exchange for $100 from the sale. So he took a photo, posted it on Snapchat and connected with the victim.

Monaghan met Smurf  in St. Cloud so they could drive to Avon for the meeting.When Smurf got in the car (a Malibu with Texas license plates), he racked the .40-caliber gun to load a round into the chamber, which Monaghan considered "out of the ordinary."

In Avon, the victim got in the back seat of the Malibu, on the passenger side behind Smurf while Monaghan remained in the driver's seat.

The victim handed Smurf $800 in cash for the firearm — at which point Smurf used it to shoot the victim in the chest. The victim ran out of the car, and Smurf yelled at Monaghan to drive.

They went back to St. Cloud and cleaned out the Malibu (with Smurf looking for the single casing), then hid the vehicle at an acquaintance's home. They also broke the phone used to communicate with the victim.

Investigators found surveillance video from the area where the shooting happened, with footage lining up with Monaghan's account. They also found a bullet path through the shoulder area of the front passenger seat of the car, consistent with firing toward the back seat.

They also uncovered cellphone and social media evidence showing the victim talking to Monaghan about the gun for sale and how he needed to get cash.


The whereabouts of "Smurf" are unknown, the Stearns County Sheriff's Office said Thursday. He is identified in the complaint filed against Monaghan, though has not been arrested and he does not appear to have been criminally charged at this point. Anyone with information is asked to call the Avon Police Department at 320-356-7575 or the sheriff’s office at 320-251-4240.

Monaghan made his first court appearance Thursday. He is due back in court March 14.
