Amid unrest in Minneapolis, Governor Tim Walz today declared a Peacetime Emergency in the City of Minneapolis and mobilized the Minnesota National Guard. Pledging full state support, the Governor also directed approximately 150 Minnesota State Patrol troopers to provide support to mitigate unrest.

“Minneapolis, it’s time to heal. We must rebuild and recover. Dangerous, unlawful behavior will not be tolerated. The Minnesota National Guard and State Patrol are headed to Minneapolis to help restore order. I remain in close contact with the city and every state resource stands ready to help bring peace,” said Governor Walz.  

Citing unlawful and dangerous looting and violence in downtown Minneapolis, the Governor has mobilized the National Guard, including a military police unit, in response to a request from the City of Minneapolis.

The Minnesota State Patrol has mobilized approximately 150 troopers—including its Mobile Field Force, Special Response Team, and all available metro area state troopers—in response to rioting in Minneapolis. Troopers will assist Minneapolis Police in dispersing crowds, preventing looting, and making arrests for any violations of law.

SPORTS FEEVER – August 27, 2020

morris-football-2

I don’t want to get political in this column, but what in the hell is going on in this country?

— — —

In northwest Minnesota, this week was great.  I took in my first high school sporting event since the section 8A Boys Basketball tournament in March.  Crookston Pirate Girls Tennis took on the Roseau Rams and it was so much fun to be back in “action.”  As a proud parent of our third tennis player, and a die-hard Crookston Pirate and northwest Minnesota High School sports fan it was so enjoyable to watch the tennis match on Tuesday.
High School sports the most popular thing in every town in northwest Minnesota.  Crookston, Thief River Falls, East Grand Forks, Stephen, Argyle, Warren, Red Lake Falls, Fertile, Fisher, Ada, Warroad, Roseau, Park Rapids, Pequot Lakes, Hallock, Fosston, Mahnomen, Waubun, Perham, Hawley, Detroit Lakes, and EVERYWHERE in between.  High School sports are what bring schools and cities together when their team makes a run in the tournaments.  Especially football, volleyball, basketball, and hockey.

So, to make a short story longer, it was great to see high school sports back again.  Let’s all hope and pray we can get all four sports seasons in this year.

KROX is getting ready to broadcast our first high school sporting event since March.  We will have Crookston Pirate Girls Soccer hosting Walker-Hackensack-Akeley/Cass Lake-Bena on Thursday afternoon.  It will be nice to be “back on the air” with a live sporting event.

To say I am excited would be an understatement.  I took in the girls soccer practice on Wednesday and saw some girls that really improved over the off-season and it should be a much improved season with a tough schedule this year.

I am still waiting for Pirate Girls Tennis and Pirate Girls Swimming rosters.  I hope to have them next week.

I have received a lot of texts and emails over the past few days wondering why Minnesota Morris was able to get a nice football stadium and UMC never did.

First, Morris built the stadium well over 10 years ago.  They got new turf this summer
Second, according to the US News and world report –  Morris has an enrollment of 1,500 students and an endowment is $15.6 million dollars.  UMC has a reported enrollment (according to The UMC website) of approximately 1800 last year.  This year it is down to around 1,650 with about 650 on-campus. The official numbers aren’t in yet.  UMC has an endowment around 17 million according to US News and world report.

Morris was the perennial door mat along with UMC when they were in the NSIC.  Morris dropped to Division 3 and has had a lot more success than UMC and I am sure that helps.   They also have worked with the high school and had the novel idea to split the nicknames and colors of both the high school and college to maximize community support.   UMC hasn’t had a lot of community support because they have never really cooperated with the school or community in the past when it comes to projects like this.  They tried to raise money for turf but never came close to hitting a quarter of what they needed.  Part of the problem was the community support was minimal because they weren’t working with the school district and businesses weren’t excited since the Pirates play on the field too.

So there isn’t one reason.  Well, it doesn’t matter now because UMC doesn’t have football anymore and I am thinking Crookston School District will need to go to the voters to get a field of their own in the next year or two at the high school.

JOKES

An old man was sitting on a bus. A young man sat down beside him. He had spiked hair in all different colors: green, red, orange, blue, and yellow. The old man just stared.
Every time the young man looked, the old man was staring. The young man finally said sarcastically, “What’s the matter old timer, never done anything wild in your life?”
Without batting an eye, the old man replied, “Got drunk once and had sex with a parrot. I was just wondering if you were my son.

Dolly Parton and Queen Elizabeth went to the Pearly Gates on the same day.
They both met with an Angel to find out if they would be admitted to Heaven.
The angel said “Unfortunately, there’s only one space in Heaven today so I must decide which one of you will be admitted.”
The Angel asked Dolly if there was some particular reason why she should go to Heaven. Dolly took off her top and said, “Look at these, they’re the most perfect breasts God ever created and I’m sure it will please God to be able to see them every day, for eternity.”
The Angel thanked Dolly, and asked Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth the same question.
The Queen walked over to a toilet, pulled the lever and flushes it without saying a word.
The Angel immediately said, “OK, your Majesty, you may go into Heaven.”
Dolly was outraged and asked, “What was that all about? I showed you two of God’s own perfect creations and you turned me down. She simply flushed a commode and she got admitted to Heaven! Would you explain that to me?
“Sorry, Dolly,” said the Angel, “but even in Heaven, a royal flush beats a pair – no matter how big they are.”

WHEAT HARVEST SHOWING LOWER YIELDS AND FALLING NUMBERS

wheat-usda-photo

Despite being slowed last week by rain, the main portion of this year’s wheat harvest is getting ready to wrap up in the Crookston area this week. 

The 2020 crop wasn’t the bounce-back year some were hoping for, according to Jochum Wiersma, a professor in the Department of Agronomy and Plant Genetics for the University of Minnesota Extension. “A lot of growers are wrapping up this week, and there are obviously some fields that are later seeded because we had such a wet fall and really wet spring,” said Wiersma. “I think for the most part people are a little disappointed with the yields or maybe hoped for more. The quality, in general, is good. The protein content is good, which is not surprising because we tend to see a higher protein content with lower yields. Test weight is okay, even though we’ve had some rain showers, and that generally takes a little of the test weight away. People probably wished for 10 bushels more an acre, especially with these prices, but the heat in the latter part of July probably took the top off the yields.”

Last year falling numbers were also an issue across northwest Minnesota and North Dakota. Wiersma said there is some quality concern again this year but that so far this year, lower falling numbers appear to be limited mostly to a region between Crookston and Mahnomen. “Falling numbers is a measurement of sprout damage and affects end-use quality as well as seed quality,” said Wiersma. “Last year the problems were throughout the region, throughout North Dakota, simply because we had such a wet fall. We started wheat harvest, and then the rain started and never stopped. This year we’ve had fewer rain events, but there are problems locally with falling numbers. Right now, the sense I get is it’s limited mostly to the Crookston through Mahnomen region. Further north people are not talking about falling number problems yet and further south, the wheat was already off before some of these rains started. So, it’s a more localized problem for individual growers.

Wiersma added that while last year’s falling numbers were an issue in many wheat varieties and this year’s numbers are tied more to specific varieties, it’s still a major issue. “Obviously, it’s still a major issue, and we’re also seeing it’s tied more to specific varieties this year than last year,” said Wiersma. “We know varieties differ for pre-harvest sprout tolerance, and we have a couple of varieties that are more prone to pre-harvest sprouting. As a consequence, with the weather we’ve had, we see damage in those varieties first, and that’s what’s happening.”

Noah Insurance Agent Nick Noah said that the fall price for wheat also looks like it will have a reduction around 10 percent, and with lower yields and falling numbers means area farmers should be contacting their crop insurance agents for potential claims. “The yields, we’ve been seeing, are anywhere from 40 to 80 bushel, sometimes in the same operation,” said Noah. “Another issue people should be aware of is falling numbers. They’ve been anywhere from 138, poor quality, and having good quality up in the higher 300s. If you’re experiencing low yield or falling numbers, you should be reaching out to your crop insurance agent because you could potentially be in a claim situation.  At the end of the month, we’ll up wrapping up our fall price for wheat. It’s at $5.03 today, so we’re looking at being down about 10 percent. That’s another reason you could be in a claim is because of the low fall price today.”

Coming off of last year, Wiersma said the hope was for more this year, but producers will likely be facing tight margins to break even on the crop this year. “I think given last year’s hangover, everybody was hoping for more,” said Wiersma. “We probably lost 10 bushels per acre with the weather during grain fill. Most people would probably like the 10 bushels at this point given the prices. Overall, it’s a very tight margin, if a margin at all depending on the individual producer’s cost. It’s a breakeven proposition for a lot of guys.”

Noah also encouraged farmers to get their Price-Loss Coverage (PLC) wheat yield paperwork from the Farm Service Agency in time to get it completed and returned from the deadline in September. “Another thing we’ve been busy doing is helping our farmers do the PLC yield update,” said Noah. “That deadline is coming up September 30, so you’ll want to make sure you get that paperwork from the FSA to get that filled out and turned into them, so you can take advantage.”

VILLA ST. VINCENT & THE SUMMIT USES NEW 360 MACHINE TO KEEP RESIDENTS, VISITORS, AND STAFF SAFE

villa

The Villa St. Vincent and The SUMMIT is using a specialized electrostatic cleaning and sanitizing system to keep residents, staff, visitors, and families safe from the coronavirus called the 360-Machine. They got the machine with the hope of limiting the spread of COVID-19 from the community into the facility. 

The 360-Machine kills pathogens and other disease-causing bacteria in mere seconds.  Villa St. Vincent Activities Director Ashely Melsa said the machine has been a wonderful addition to the facility and provides a deeper clean of each room to protect everyone. “The machine has been fabulous,” said Melsa. “It’s been a wonderful addition to our facility. It not only kills disease-causing pathogens like coronavirus, but it also kills off influenza and other viruses that may be in the air. It really helps prevent any kind of breakout within our facility. The machine goes in after housekeeping and sanitizes the room. And it just does a deeper clean of each room. It protects our residents, their family members, our staff, and our family. We’re so very thankful to be able to offer this.”

The Villa St. Vincent and The SUMMIT was able to get the machine with help from a United Way grant.  Melsa said last winter they’d originally applied for a grant to host an outdoor celebration to strengthen the bond between the facility and community, but the United Way worked with them as their needs changed amid the COVID-19 pandemic. “We had originally put a request in to the United Way prior to COVID and we wanted to have an outdoor celebration for our community,” said Melsa. “Getting our community more involved with our facility and our residents, then COVID hit. That was very life-changing for our want for this grant. We reached out to United Way and said we could really use something that would prevent anything within our facility. The United Way was wonderful and said they’d help us out in whichever way they could, to keep everyone safe. So, we are very grateful.”
