Ask a Trooper

Question: I have noticed an increasing number of U.S. branded vehicles (mostly pickups/ SUV) driving with no daytime running lights.

“And the Lord said, ‘Is it right for you to be angry?’” (Jonah 4:4)

We are on chapter 4, the last chapter of the book of Jonah. A quick summary so far: God gave the prophet Jonah a message to bring to the Ninevites, Jonah was scared and didn’t want to—so he ran and ended up getting dumped in the sea. God sends a giant fish to swallow Jonah, and inside the dark belly of the fish, Jonah sees the light and sends a prayer of thanks to God for saving him. Then the fish pukes Jonah up on dry land. Again, God tells Jonah to go tell the Ninevites the message. Jonah did, the Ninevites repented, and God decided to save them.

MPCA in need of volunteers in the local area

The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) is celebrating 50 years of the Volunteer Water Monitors Program this year, and is seeking to find more volunteers to help with the program’s continued success. Several high-priority stream and river sites near Granite Falls, Montevideo, Marshall and the space in between are in need of outdoor enthusiasts and those interested in protecting our state’s natural resources to volunteer for the program. Local monitoring sites include a number of areas along the Minnesota River, Chippewa River, and Spring Creek. MPCA also has an online map (QR code at the end of this article) that shows where volunteers are needed. “But also for streams, if there is not a marker on the map where it is convenient for people to monitor - say they drive over a bridge on their way to work or it runs through their back yard but there’s not a marker there - that’s ok. We need new monitoring locations all the time, so we are happy to establish a new monitoring site for somebody,” says MPCA’s Volunteer Water Monitoring Specialist Shannon Martin.

At Monday evening’s meeting of the Granite Falls City Council, a public meeting was held to obtain comments from citizens about the possible re-naming of the community’s softball field. Some time ago, the family of Verne Anderson requested to name the softball field “Verne Anderson Memorial Field Home of Sting Fastpitch”.
