Signs COVID-19 is getting on nerves

by April ScheinohaReporter

COVID-19 continues toimpact various decisionsmade by the City of ThiefRiver Falls and its employ-ees. The PublicSafety/Liquor Committeeheard those matters at amarathon meeting lastingnearly three-and-a-halfhours Monday, July 13. “There’s a lot of underly-ing stress being on the front-line of this thing,” said SteveOlson, manager of the city-

owned Falls Liquor. COVID-19 fatigue is set-ting in for liquor store em-ployees. Olson said he had toremind one employee aboutsanitizing hands after han-dling a rug and remind atleast two employees aboutnot using tills near one an-other when the store wasn’tbusy. He noted COVID-19 iswearing on people evenwhen they don’t realize it.Olson added employeeshave heard from customersthat bars have been wall towall with people in the area. Council member RachelPrudhomme, who sits on thecommittee, said she andcouncil member JasonAarestad had heard con-cerns from someone about arecent concert. Veterans ofForeign Wars Post 2793 hasheld at least two concerts re-

cently in its parking lot. Theindividual raised concernsabout the number of peopleattending the concerts.Prudhomme said she be-lieved it may have been hardto keep track of the numberof people moving back andforth between the bar andthe parking lot. Prudhomme indicatedthat VFW Commander ErikBeitel was out of town dur-ing one of the concerts whenthere was an apparent issue.Beitel is employed as Pen-nington County’s emergencymanagement director andhas been on the frontlines ofthe county’s response toCOVID-19. In terms of other privatebars, Prudhomme said shedoesn’t think police officersmay walk into a bar unlesstheir presence is justified.

She said the city has to trustbar owners when it comes tofollowing social distancingguidelines. Like bars, Falls Liquorremains open to the public –albeit for fewer hours than ithas been open in the past.Located kitty-corner to FallsLiquor, City Hall remainsclosed to the public.Aarestad, who chairs thecommittee, voiced his disap-pointment and said it didn’tseem right that Falls Liquorwas open while City Hallwas closed. The matter was discussedmore thoroughly later in themeeting. City AdministratorAngie Philipp said the city isin the process of obtainingand installing glass at CityHall to allow for social dis-tancing. Aarestad, who chairs the

committee, replied that thecity doesn’t need specialglass in City Hall as part ofits COVID-19 precautions. Philipp responded thatthe city is placing glass per-manently in specific areaswhere it is needed. Officer Ryan Bassettappeared before the com-mittee via Webex. Heasked to rescind his resigna-tion. Bassett had tenderedhis resignation in June withan effective date of Sunday,July 26. The full council ap-proved filling the position atits meeting six days beforethe committee meeting. Thecommittee referred the mat-ter on to the full council,which would have been thefinal authority on Bassett’sappeal. Even if the council

Public health director:

Prevention is key to this fightby April ScheinohaReporter

It’s the story that neverseems to end – COVID-19.Inter-County Nursing Serv-ice Director Kayla Jore re-peated the message she hasbeen sharing since theUnited States began fight-ing the illness. “The more we can preventthe spread, the better,” Joresaid at the PenningtonCounty Board meeting Tues-day, July 14. Jore noted that COVID-19 fatigue is setting in. How-ever, she reminded people towash their hands, social dis-tance and wear masks.

“It’s highly recommendedwhen you’re going out inpublic that you wear thosemasks,” said Jore, who notedit helps stop the COVID-19germs from being spread toothers. Jore admitted that wear-ing a face mask can be un-comfortable. However, shesaid, “Masking is very im-portant.” At the time of the CountyBoard meeting, PenningtonCounty had 54 cases ofCOVID-19. Two were activecases. (It grew to 55 casesthe following day.) Jore saidthe county was “seeing an-other case situation” in long-term care. She noted the

unidentified long-term carefacility had been doing allthe right things, but thiswas bound to happen. Thefacility is working closelywith the Minnesota Depart-ment of Health and theHealth Care Coalition. MDH lists COVID-19cases in congregate care fa-cilities on its website. Thatlist is updated each Friday,and facilities are removedfrom that list if they haven’treported a new exposure fora minimum of 28 days. Ex-posures include those whoeither visited, worked orlived at a facility while theywere contagious. A variety of age levels

have been affected byCOVID-19 in PenningtonCounty, and Inter-CountyNursing Service does caseinvestigation and contacttracing for those cases. Thecases range from kids ages10-19 to adults 70 and over.At this point in time, themajority of the affected indi-viduals in PenningtonCounty – 37 – were in their20s and 30s. Emergency ManagementDirector Erik Beitel notedthe 54 cases amount to lessthan 1% of the county’s pop-ulation. He noted that Bel-trami and Roseau counties

We thank you for your continued support.

There have been so manystories lately about eventsthat will create culturalchange. This might actuallybe a story that describestrue change to a portion ofour culture - or not. I mean,I’m not clairvoyant. Roundup-ready cropsmade farmers much moreproductive. You could plant acrop and then spray theweeds without killing off thecrop. It cleaned the field ofweeds and saved a lot oftime. Somewhere along theway, occasional weeds be-came resistant to theroundup herbicide, whichwas a concern. I noticed thisa few years ago and wrote acolumn that farmers mayhave to begin cultivatingrow crops instead of spray-ing them. Dicamba camealong a few years ago andmy row-crop cultivation pre-diction was put aside. Recently, the Environ-mental Protection Agencyand the 9th Federal District

Court have been tuggingback and forth on the ques-tion of whether Dicamba issomething farmers coulduse. So, I can trot out myrow crop idea, again. I hon-estly hope they get Dicambafigured out and we can for-get the row crop cultivatorsfor now. However, mechani-cally killing weeds with acultivator is one alternativeto herbicides. I could wonder what arow crop world would looklike; however, I am oldenough to have seen one.The row-crop world requiresmore patience, especially thefirst time you cultivate thecrop. The crop is so smallthat you must be careful tonot accidentally dig up aplant or push dirt on top if itas you dig up weeds. Rowcrop cultivators have shieldsfor early cultivation, but youcan pull the shields up or re-move them as the seasongoes on. You can also drivefaster as the crop growslarger in size. In other parts of theworld, row crop cultivationis already a part of farm life.These implements make itpossible to perform highlydetailed row crop cultivationat higher speeds. I’m notsure how this would balanceout as I’m sure there arefairly inexpensive, used row-

crop cultivators available insomeone’s tree row, and themore modern version isprobably expensive. How-ever, farmers will have tobalance the money they saveon a used cultivator with thecost of someone to drive thetractor and the economy ofscale. The change in mindsetmay be a challenge too.Farmers, who are driven towork as fast as possible, andwho are now focusing forhours, at slow speeds mightbe like a sprinter’s first tryat yoga. Try mowing youryard at about a third of yournormal speed and you willsee what I mean. Row cropcultivation is fairly highstakes, too; one moment’sinattention can wipe out sev-eral rows. For this reason, itis a high-value job that can’tbe left for the low man onthe totem pole while every-one else goes to the lake. I hope issues withDicamba get resolved beforethe next planting season. Ifthey don’t, row crop cultiva-tors may be one popular dis-play at the next farm showyou attend - virtual or not.One thing, cultivating in be-tween rows will save youdollars on all of those yogalessons.

Uncertainty follows court ruling

Increases raise red flagsCOVID-19 news:

by David HillEditor

The number of positivecases in Minnesota in-creased by 578 cases fromTuesday on a testing volumeof about 12,500. The contin-ued growth in positive casesis a growing concern. Thenumber of individuals hospi-talized with COVID-19 in-creased by 18 to a total of254, and the number of indi-viduals requiring intensivecare dropped by one to 106. Other important metrics,including the positivity rateand median age, alsoshowed changes. The me-dian age of individuals in-fected by COVID-19 droppedto 37.5; and, the rate of pos-itivity over a seven day pe-riod increased from 4.7percent to 4.8 percent. Officials said Wednesday,that the recent surge in pos-itive cases across the coun-try is affecting supplychains. In Minnesota, offi-cials said that they do trackthe amount of personal pro-tective equipment quiteclosely. They have quite asupply on hand, but supplychain issues are beginningto re-emerge. The commissioner ofhealth, Jan Malcolm, saidthey aren’t assuming theyhave enough. “We have agood supply, but we’reclosely watching what’s hap-pening with global supplychains.” As noted over the pastseveral weeks, the numberof people in Minnesota dyingfrom COVID-19 complica-tions has remained stable.On Tuesday, eight moredeaths were recorded Kris Ehresmann, infec-tious diseases director forthe Minnesota Departmentof Health, said any one indi-cator is valuable, but a sin-gle indicator is not enough tounderstand the full picture. Any death is serious, butwhen the number of deathsremain stable or decline,

there’s a temptation to thinkit’s manageable, but Ehres-mann pointed out there canbe long-term health conse-quences from COVID-19. Ehresmann was askedabout the specific statisticsabout people dying fromCOVID-19. Ehresmann saidthere have not been anydeaths among individualsfrom birth to 19. Of thedeaths from COVID-19, .02percent were in the 20 to 29age group, .13 percent werein the 30 to 39 age group, .31percent were in the 40 to 49age group, 1.36 percent werein the 50 to 59 age group;5.47 percent were in the 60to 69 age group; 15.26 per-cent were in the 70 to 79 agegroup; 30.82 percent were inthe 80 to 89 age group; 44.48percent in the 90 to 99 agegroup, and 58 percent in the100-plus age group. Ehresmann said it’s clearthat the fatality rate in-creases with age, but every-one needs to rememberthere can be serious long-term health consequencesfor individuals who areyounger, and those individu-als can also impact spreadamong those most at risk. Stability in the death rateis a result of several factors.Malcolm referred back toprevious briefing duringwhich Dr. Hicks said theyhave learned more aboutCOVID-19 and improvedtreatment of people with thevirus. State Epidemiologist Dr.Ruth Lynfield also said peo-ple need to keep in mindthat early on deaths weremostly elderly and peoplewith underlying health is-sues living in congregatecare facilities. Since then,they’ve worked hard to im-prove detection and in pre-venting transmission. Shealso pointed out that the me-dian age of individuals withCOVID-19 has declined sig-nificantly, which means it’sspreading in a populationless likely to experience se-

vere complications. Lynfieldalso noted there is a lag indeaths. (In some states, theofficial reporting of aCOVID-19 death can lagCOVID-19 exposure by up toone month.)

Quarantine forMinnesotans

Because of its increase inpositive cases, Minnesotahas been put on the NewYork, New Jersey and Con-necticut quarantine list.(The quarantine applies toany person arriving from astate with a positive testrate higher than 10 per100,000 residents over aseven-day rolling average ora state with a 10% or higherpositivity rate over a seven-day rolling average.) This is a reminder, saidLynfield, that everyone hasa role to play. The virus is here to stay,and “we are still in the pan-demic and at a worryingpoint.” Forty-one states, includ-ing Minnesota, said Lyn-field, are now seeing anincrease in positive cases.“We need to step back andsee what we can do to slowthe spread of the virus.” Lynfield said this is not adiscussion about blame. Shesaid they want to communi-cate to everyone that each ofus has a responsibility andability to prevent transmis-sion of this virus. Lynfield said they knowthere is a lot of conflictinginformation out there. Theyalso know people are sickand tired of hearing aboutprecautions, but this is notthe time to let down ourguard. Every few days, she said,there’s more good newsabout vaccines being devel-oped, but everyone shouldremember that it will be along time - months - beforean effective vaccine becomesavailable. Until that time itis up to us to do the thingsthat prevent spread.

Last weekend, I pulled out the practicenet I use for hitting golf balls into. It’s myway of practicing social distancing, and let’sbe honest, keeping people safe on the golfcourse from errant golf balls. My friendsknow this and often chide me on my golfingskills or lack thereof. I often respond with quiet aplomb. I’ve al-ways wanted to use that word in a sentence,but I’m quite sure I never have. It meansself-confidence or assurance when in a de-manding situation. I think we’re all in thatkind of situation where people keep check-ing our temperatures, asking us if we feelwell and telling us to wear a mask. It’senough to erode one’s self confidence. Am Isick? Will I get sick? Why are so many peo-ple concerned? Do I look like I’m sick? Don’t

they have something better to do? That’s ournew reality, however, so we need to go aboutour business with quiet aplomb. Big words. So, I told my friends that I hit all of mygolf balls into the net. I live on the river andgenerally hit into a net and toward the river.I noted that even though I had a crowd ofkayakers and a bunch of people in a pontoonboat passing by, not one kayaker or boaterwas struck by an errant golf ball. One friend said they must have beenwearing helmets. Another said he was sure someone lost abet. My confidence has NOT been eroded. Iwill wear a mask … because it protects oth-ers and my identity.

DNR survey looks at how Minnesotans feel about wolves The Minnesota Depart-ment of Natural Resources,in partnership with the Uni-versity of Minnesota throughthe Minnesota CooperativeFish and Wildlife ResearchUnit, conducted a survey ofMinnesota residents to sup-port the 2020 update to theMinnesota Wolf Manage-ment Plan. The study focused onthree groups: Minnesotahouseholds, resident adultfirearms deer hunters andlivestock producers that op-erate in the 2019 wolf range.The main purpose of thestudy was to collect baselineinformation on these threegroups’ attitudes and valuesfor wolves and wolf manage-ment. Importantly, these

data were collected using sci-entific survey methods, andare representative of the pop-ulations. What was the study’spurpose? The study’s aimwas to obtain timely and ac-curate information on Min-nesotans’ values, beliefs, andattitudes toward wolves andwolf management. The study is based onquestionnaires distributed to9,750 individuals, including5,250 residents, 2,000 deerhunters and 2,500 livestockproducers. The results arecompiled in a summary re-port PDF and a more de-tailed 149-page full reportPDF. What were the key sur-vey topics? The surveyasked questions about indi-viduals’ experiences withwolves, their interest in wolfmanagement, their generalattitudes toward wolves andreasons for valuing wolves.The survey also asked ques-tions about their preferenceon wolf abundance, wherewolves should exist or not

exist, whether wolf huntingand trapping should be al-lowed and other wolf man-agement preferences. The study was designed toidentify differences and sim-ilarities among the threegroups. In addition, residentswere asked questions relatedto their involvement withwolves, wildlife and outdoorrecreation. Deer hunterswere asked questions abouttheir hunting experiencesand beliefs. Livestock pro-ducers in the wolf range wereasked about their experi-ences and opinions aboutwolf depredation. What were the key find-ings? Key findings werelargely consistent with previ-ous study results, which is tosay Minnesotans continue toagree on some topics regard-ing wolves and wolf manage-ment and agree less on othertopics. Still, there are things thatMinnesotans agree on de-spite having a wide array ofattitudes. For example, Min-

nesotans agree that main-taining a wolf population inMinnesota is important. Residents, on average, feltthat they would like to seewolf numbers remain thesame, and for wolves to oc-cupy about the same amountof habitat in the state. The survey found that 80percent or more of livestockproducers and deer hunterssupport establishing both awolf hunting and wolf trap-ping season. That level ofsupport is considerablyhigher than what the generalpublic believes. Supportamong residents is splitalong ideological lines (41percent support hunting, and30 percent support trapping). Another portion of the sur-vey included questions aboutcitizen trust in the DNR. Asurvey finding was that resi-dents have the highest trustin the DNR and livestockproducers in the wolf rangethe least. Deer hunters werein the middle.

On Thursday, July16 (three days after the com-mittee meeting), Bassettasked that his request be re-moved from the councilagenda for the followingweek and indicated that hehad now planned to resign. At the committee meet-ing, Bassett said, “I’m sorryto bring this before this com-mittee and ask, but I’m justasking this one time duringthese odd set of circum-stances.” Bassett, a 16-year vet-eran of the department, hadapplied for another job andhad been hired by the De-partment of Corrections.However, he said he had re-ceived a phone call earlierthat day, informing him thathe may “get bumped” andnot have the job, be laid offimmediately or be laid off inthree months. Human Resources Spe-cialist LeAnn Engelstad saidthe council has never re-ceived such a request in thepast. By state statute, a res-ignation is final once it issubmitted to a city. However,Engelstad noted that an em-ployee can appeal the resig-nation. Since the council hadalready approved filling theposition and advertising for

it, the full council needed toconsider Bassett’s request. Engelstad voiced someconcerns about allowingBassett to rescind his resig-nation. She wonderedwhether Bassett would sub-mit his resignation againtwo months from now. En-gelstad also questioned howit would look on the city’spart that it advertised forthis position and then de-cided to not fill it. At thesame time, she referred toBassett’s experience work-ing with the Thief RiverFalls Police Department. Engelstad said the cityhas already incurred costs tofill the position. However,she added, “As of yesterday,we haven’t received any ap-plications yet.” Aarestad said he wouldhate to make a practice of al-lowing employees to rescindtheir resignations. Prudhomme replied thatno one expected a future jobto be frozen or cut as part ofa pandemic. For his part, Bassett saidthe phone call came out ofnowhere. He noted he has a5-year-old daughter, and hisfamily wouldn’t know whatto do if he were unable tokeep his job in Thief RiverFalls. About applying else-where, Bassett said hewants to end his career inThief River Falls.

Aarestad asked whetherBassett had applied forother positions over the pastfew years. Bassett replied that hewouldn’t deny it, but he saidhe was planning to makethis move to be closer to hisfamily. “That job right now isunstable and continues to beunstable,” he said. Interim Police ChiefMarissa Adam had spokenwith a DOC representative.Adam said she had been toldlayoffs happen often in theDOC. After Bassett exited themeeting, committee mem-bers continued their discus-sion of the situation. He hasapplied for “many, many po-sitions,” Aarestad said. Council member SteveNarverud, who sits on thecommittee, worried aboutthe precedent that would beset if the council allowedBassett to rescind his resig-nation. He also referred tothe reputation the citywould have if it advertisedthe position and then de-cided to allow Bassett tokeep his job. “Once again, COVID is anextraordinary circumstancewe did not expect to be putin,” Prudhomme replied. Aarestad said, “I think westick with what’s been done.”

Statewide, COVID-19cases per-day had been inthe 200s and 300s. Jore saidthat number has sincejumped significantly to the600s and 700s. She attrib-uted the increase to going tobars, and attending gather-ings such as weddings andFourth of July events. Joresaid it is difficult to conductcontact tracing when some-one has been to multipleplaces in public for severaldays in a row. County Board learnedthat the county is eligiblefor $1,784,000 in Coron-avirus Aid, Relief andEconomic Security Act

funding. The funding willreimburse eligible expensesrelated to the county’sCOVID-19 prevention ef-forts. Commissioner Neil Peter-son has been appointed towork with department lead-ers to determine how muchthe county has spent to pre-vent COVID-19. Chairperson DarrylTveitbakk expected that thecounty would seek reim-bursement for allowing em-ployees to work remotely.Among those employees aresome in the PenningtonCounty Human Services De-partment. Human ServicesDirector Julie Sjostrand saidthere are still some employ-ees working remotely. “Ihave most people back twodays a week and looking at a

third day coming into play,”she said. Sjostrand indicated thatthe six-foot distance require-ment is an issue. Anotherissue has been laptop com-puters as some of the em-ployees need that equipmentto do their jobs. She was ex-pected to provide quotes toCounty Board in the future.Tveitbakk believed that thecounty may be reimbursedfor that purchase throughthe CARES Act. Besides being reimbursedfor its own costs, the countymay use some of its CARESAct funding to help smallbusinesses. Tveitbakk ex-pected that county leaderswould discuss that prospectin the future.

With increasing positivecases of COVID-19 as abackdrop, state health de-partment officials asked res-idents to consider making aplan in case of emergencies. Minnesota offers Make aPlan Minnesota on itsCOVID-19 update web pageas a tool for Minnesotans touse to develop an emergencyplan. On the page it states,“It is never too early to de-velop a plan for your family.It is also a good idea to re-visit and update existingplans. This is especially trueduring the COVID-19 pan-demic, which is requiring usto plan in different waysthan other emergencies. Oneimportant plan to have inplace is what to do if a par-ent or guardian becomessick or hospitalized due to

the virus.” Wednesday, July 15, KrisEhresmann, infectious dis-eases director at the Min-nesota Department ofHealth, said she is confidentmore will get sick and re-quire hospitalization. Theyalso know that if one personin a household gets sick, oth-ers in the house will get sick.She also said they have re-ceived reports of instancesin which the parents weretoo sick to care for their chil-dren for a short period oftime. Because of this possi-bility, she said it is impor-tant to create a plan fortheir care if parents are un-able to provide that care. The tool provided is notjust an admonition to makea plan, but provides a tem-plate for that plan. The tem-plate includes space forimportant addresses andphone numbers, insurance

information, emergency con-tacts, religious affiliationand contacts, other commu-nity contacts, child informa-tion, such as comfort items,primary physician, prescrip-tions, school, child contactsand space for informationthat might be useful if one or

In the fall of 2016, North-land streamlined its entirepractical nursing programreducing it to 44 credits.This created a diploma pro-gram that is a prerequisiteto Northland’s registerednursing program. The pro-gram’s curriculum under-went an evolution as well,focusing on a concept-based

curriculum that has stu-dents going beyond simplymemorizing facts to under-standing the larger patternsand relationships that de-fine patient care and patientillness. With these changes,Northland has been main-taining a near 90% first-time NCLEX-PN licensureexam pass rate which hoversabove state and nationalpass rate percentages. Even

in light of course deliverymodifications due to COVID-19, the spring class of 2020boasted an NCLEX-PN passrate over 96%. Northland’s practicalnursing program continuesto be one of the school’s mostprominent programs. Withfront-line nursing profes-sionals in high demand, in-terest remains high. “Wehave accepted 40 studentson our EGF campus, 15 on

our TRF campus, and 15 inour distance/hybrid cohortfor fall 2020 semester,” saidSorvig. “We have a 40 stu-dent capacity for each cam-pus, each semester, as wellas 30 for our distance/hybridmodel. That results in 140 to160 practical nursing stu-dents in our program at anygiven time.”
