CYNTHIA ANSBACHER ANNOUNCES RUN FOR DISTRICT 1B SEAT IN MINNESOTA HOUSE AS A DEMOCRAT

cynthia-ansbacher

Cynthia Ansbacher of Crookston announced she is running for Minnesota House District 1B endorsed by the Democratic Farmers Labor Party and AFSCME. The announcement is below –

My name is Cynthia (Cindy) Ansbacher and I am officially running to represent citizens Polk, Red Lake, and rural Pennington counties In rural Minnesota House District 1B.  I am honored to be endorsed by the Democratic Farmers Labor party and AFSCME. I am a lifelong Democrat who lives in Crookston and strongly support DFL values. For the past five years, I have been and continue to be an active board member of the Polk County DFL.

I was born and raised in Minneapolis. While attending their public schools, I had the honor of being selected for the Legislative Page Program by my high school principal. Working with State Representative Ken Nelson, I developed familiarity with the Capitol itself and, more importantly, the legislative process. I went on to earn my Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing and spent many years of my career focused on critical care nursing and volunteering my skills when possible. In 2006 I moved into my mother’s childhood home in Crookston. Since then, I have been active in community affairs, including serving on the board of the Prairie Skyline Foundation and assisting with the restoration of the old Cathedral. With the advent of Covid-19, I have been making and donating face masks to friends, family, work places, and the public. I currently enjoy working as a Designated Support Person, with Lutheran Social Services of Minnesota.

Our House 1B community is going through unprecedented times. Farmers are struggling, teachers are overwhelmed and underpaid, and our public health system is under tremendous stress with too many denied access to necessary care. I am committed to working to overcome these challenges! I will work hard to win this seat! This campaign is about what kind of future we want to build together.

I’m running for office to help build a better Greater Minnesota that cares about everyone. I’m asking you to join me because when we work together, we can build the kind of grassroots power that makes real change.

Please feel free to email me at ansbacherformn@gmail.com . I look forward to hearing from you in the coming days and weeks and working with you to improve the lives of Minnesotans.

 Sincerely,

Cynthia (Cindy) Ansbacher
Candidate for House District 1B

MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH REPORTS 7,261 COVID-19 TESTS WITH 245 NEW CASES AND 9 DEATHS (June 23)

2labgraph-29

The Minnesota Department of Health released the latest COVID-19 numbers.  There were 7,261 tests with 245 new cases and nine deaths.  Polk County has seen a slight uptick in the past couple of days and now has 73 positive cases.

Updated June 23, 2020
Updated daily at 11 a.m., with data current as of 4 p.m. the previous day.

Data is for cases that were tested and returned positive. All data is preliminary and may change as cases are investigated. Many data points are collected during case interviews. Data presented below is for all cases, regardless of interview status. Data for cases pending interview may be listed as “unknown/missing.”

Not all suspected cases of COVID-19 are tested, so this data is not representative of the total number of people in Minnesota who have or had COVID-19. Cumulative numbers are since Jan. 20, 2020.

Daily Update:

Because all data is preliminary, the change in number of cumulative positive cases and deaths from one day to the next may not equal the newly reported cases or deaths.

camilla-thompson-photo

Camilla Thompson, 88, of Fertile, MN, passed away at her home Sunday, June 21, 2020, comforted by having her family at her side.

Camilla was born on February 5, 1932, to her father and mother, Gustavis A. and Helene (nee Jensen) Olsen, at Texhoma, OK–on the northside of the Texas panhandle.  She graduated from Gruver High School in 1949, Gruver, TX, and moved to Amarillo, TX.

Camilla met Herman Melbourne Thompson, while he was in the military, and on February 21, 1953, they married at Clovis, NM.  After Herman’s discharge, they moved to Maple Bay, MN, and, later to Fargo, ND, where they raised their family. Through the years Camilla had multiple different part-time jobs but her real-life work was raising their three children.

In 1990, when Herman retired, they bought and, over the years, renovated a house to meet their needs in Fertile, MN.

Camilla is survived by her three children: Angela Wright (Bruce), Minot, ND; son, Keith (Julie), Maple Bay, MN; and Nadine Hopwood (Walter), Warwick, RI.

Camilla was blessed with 14 Grandchildren and 9 Great-grandchildren (two more soon to be born in late 2020): Jason Wright, Joshua Wright (Stephanie, great-grandchildren—Hailey and Collin), Elizabeth Dokken (Chris), Justin Thompson (Susan), Andrew Thompson (Laura), Mary Munch (Caleb, great-granddaughter, Allis), Miriam DeBoer (Nathan, great-grandchildren—Aubrie and Gretta); Abraham Thompson (Kayla, great-grandchildren— Stella and Robert), Luke Thompson (Courtney, great-grandson—Ashton), Noah Thompson (Kaitlin), Gideon Thompson, Esther Thompson, Sean Hopwood (Sarah, great-granddaughter, MacKenzie).  She is also survived by her brother, Guy Hopwood; sister, Genevieve Miller, Amarillo, TX, brother-in-law Maze Thompson (Arlys) Maple Bay, MN, several nephews and nieces. Those who preceded her in death are her loving husband of 66 years, Herman, her parents, three brothers, and two sisters, and grandson, Jeremy Thompson.

The funeral service for Camilla will be held at 1:00 pm, Thursday, June 25, 2020, at the Stenshoel-Houske Funeral Home in Crookston with Pastor Dale Finstrom, officiating and assisted by Anders Macy. Visitation will be for one hour before the funeral. Interment will follow at the Maple Bay Free Lutheran Church Cemetery, rural Fertile, MN.

White House Says President Trump Did Not Order COVID-19 Testing Slowdown

tmp923a551a-f242-4728-acf3-321ea24e6313-jpg

The White House said on Monday that President Trump has not directed any slowdown in coronavirus testing. The president had said at a political rally in Oklahoma on Saturday that he had directed his people to slow down testing for the virus because the process had led to an increased number of known COVID-19 cases.

The White House said at the time that he was kidding and made clear on Monday that no such request was made. White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said at a news briefing “It was a comment that he made in jest,” adding that Trump had not told officials to slow the rate of testing. “He has not directed that,” McEnany said. “Any suggestion that testing has been curtailed is not rooted in fact.”

White House Adviser Peter Navarro Declares Trade Deal With China Is “Over”

tmp1ee42eeb-29d0-4274-83db-9b6418c32d1d-jpg

In an interview on Monday, White House trade adviser Peter Navarro says the trade deal with China is “over.”  When asked about the trade agreement, Navarro pointed to Washington’s anger over Beijing not sounding the alarm earlier about the coronavirus outbreak.

Navarro also said the “turning point” came when the United States learned about the spreading coronavirus only after a Chinese delegation had left Washington following the signing of the Phase 1 deal on January 15.

“It was at a time when they had already sent hundreds of thousands of people to this country to spread that virus, and it was just minutes after wheels up when that plane took off that we began to hear about this pandemic,” Navarro said.

President Donald Trump and his administration repeatedly have accused Beijing of not being transparent about the outbreak.
