(AP) - There's another $1 million coming to
victims of the flash flooding in southeastern Minnesota in August
2007 from the U.S. Department of Labor.


      The new grant money is to create temporary jobs to help flood
clean-up and restoration, including clearing storm debris from
streambeds.

      The state Department of Employment and Economic Development
announced the grant on Wednesday.

      It's for residents of Fillmore, Houston and Winona counties who
lost jobs as a direct result of the flooding.

      It's in addition to the $3 million the state got in 2007 to
create temporary jobs for clean-up, repair and restoration efforts.

Employment Centers in Rushford, Caledonia and Preston, and the
