Measles Cases Continue to Rise Across Minnesota

(Martin County) Martin County health officials are encouraging residents to check their vaccination status as measles cases continue to rise across Minnesota. The state has reported 80 measles cases, its highest total in 36 years, including an outbreak of 63 cases in Fillmore and Todd counties since mid-September. No cases have been reported in Martin County or surrounding counties. The M-M-R vaccination rate in Martin County currently stands at 75 percent, well below the 95 percent rate health officials would like to see. Officials say flu, COVID and R-S-V activity is beginning to increase as respiratory illness season gets underway. People are being encouraged to talk with their medical providers about vaccinations, particularly those who may have missed a recommended dose. Faribault-Martin County Public Health offers vaccination services, including assistance for people who are uninsured or underinsured.

New Richland is ‘out of the crisis’ after September floods

After about 700 square miles of south and southeastern Minnesota was flooded with 6 inches or more of rain in 24 hours, senators Amy Klobuchar and Tina Smith, along with Rep. Brad Finstad, asked President Donald Trump and his administration to approve the state of Minnesota’s request for a Major Disaster Declaration for Individual Assistance. Gov. Tim Walz’s request for disaster assistance for the period of Sept. 18-20 covers Fillmore, Houston, Steele and Waseca Counties. New Richland, a city of 1,200, was flooded with about 9 inches of rain, which forced evacuations during the Sept. 19 flood. The Waseca County Board of Commissioners had declared a state of emergency after the flood. “In the city of New Richland alone, more than three-quarters of homes are damaged and residents of a skilled nursing facility were evacuated and unable to return to the facility,” the Democrats and Republican wrote in a letter to Trump on Nov. 3. “This storm event has been assessed as at least as destructive as the July 2026 mega-rain that many of these communities experienced and were recovering from just months prior.” Minnesota Realtors and the REALTORS Relief Foundation announced in October that a $70,000 grant was available

King Arthur, Wales film preview Nov. 24

Sailor, adventurer, filmmaker, and raconteur Taff Roberts will present a preview of his upcoming documentary, “The Legendary King Arthur and his Welsh Connections,” on Tuesday, November 24, at 7 p.m., at the Winona County Historical Society. The documentary will capture the 1500-year-old evidence of the Arthurian legend from its beginnings in Wales, as recorded by fifth- to sixth-century bards and later written by monks. Geoffrey of Monmouth popularized the tales in the 12th century. The legend was retold as courtly romance by the 12th-century French poet Chretien de Troye and again by Sir Thomas Malory in the 15th century. Monty Python and Hollywood have kept the stories alive in modern times.
