Merry Christmas from the Fabians!

Monday, December 23, 2013

Dear Neighbors,

Merry Christmas from the Fabians to all of you!

We hope you enjoy time with your family and friends. Have a blessed Christmas and Happy New Year!

AROUND THE DISTRICT

I attended the Greater Than MN Business Advisory Council meeting in Thief River Falls last week. We spent the afternoon talking to local business leaders and decision makers about the role that child care and early education plays within the local economy. We all agree that the availability of a wide variety of child care options is vital to the continued growth of northwest Minnesota and is essential to hardworking families.

Bonny Stechmann (MN DEED), Heidi Hagel Braid (First Children's Finance), Dan, Vicky Grove (Northwest MN Foundation), and Rep. Deb Kiel (MN House District 1B)

I also attended the Pennington County Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) December board meeting. We discussed a wide range of topics. I was interested to hear about their role working with the DNR to perform well monitoring. Members of the SWCD said we have good water quality and quantity in northwest Minnesota, unlike other areas in the state. We agreed that the legislature should not enact “one-size-fits-all” laws when it comes to water monitoring and so forth.

Sitting (l to r): Ricky Peterson (SWCD Supervisor), Brenda Szymanski (SWCD Supervisor), Bryan Malone (SWCD District Manager), Kathy Fillmore (NRCS). Standing (l to r): Barb Molskness (SWCD District Coordinator), Linda Hanson (SWCD Supervisor), Ron Shelito (BWSR), Greg Hilgeman (SWCD Supervisor), Deb Kiel (State Representative), Dan, Peter Nelson (SWCD Water Plan Coordinator).
