By Rin Porter

At the Sept. 17 county board

meeting, Todd County

ommissioners discussed and

pproved the 2014 budget they

ave been working on for several

months, and the preliminary

013 pay 2014 property tax levy.

tate law requires counties and

ther municipalities to approve

reliminary levy amounts by

mid-September each year. Final

mounts will be approved by

ec. 31.

The 2014 county budget

pproved by the board includes

26,541,549 in revenues, and

27,533,693 in expenses. The

hortfall in revenues is projected

o be $992,144.

The preliminary certified levy

pproved by the board is the

mount set by the Minnesota

epartment of Revenue for Todd

ounty: $13,272,090. This amount

just $138,570 more than the

012 pay 2013 levy approved last

ear.

Auditor/Treasurer Karen Busch

dvised the board that a special

evy one to be imposed outside

he normal limits was available

to the county this year, because the

Minnesota Legislature in 2013

placed a levy limit on municipali-

ties. She said that all special levy

claims must be pre-approved by

the Minnesota Department of

Revenue, but that Todd Countys

chances of getting approval were

good.

The reason Todd County

would like to impose a special

levy is because the levy limit cre-

ated by the Legislature does not

allow Todd County to raise its

regular property tax levy enough

to cover all its expected expenses

in 2014.

If the special levy is approved,

it would be for the amount of

$647,900 the amount of bonded

indebtedness due to be paid by

the county in 2014. If this

amount were paid by the special

levy, then it could be removed

from the regular county budg-

et, and would reduce the budget

by that amount, thus reducing

the amount by which county

expenses exceed county rev-

enues.

Also at the board meeting,

commissioners heard from Earl

Fuechtmann of Contegrity

Group Inc., construction man-

agers on the countys Annex I

and Annex II remodeling project.

Fuechtmann reported that he

expected few if any additional

surprises as the project nears its

completion. He said electrical

work to replace several panels

will be done at night, so as not to

disturb county business. He said

Johnson Controls is behind

schedule on getting the boilers

going in the jail, but he will be

taking more aggressive action

toward them to get them to com-

ply.

Fuechtmann said he expects

furniture can be moved into the

completed areas of the buildings

in late September or early

October, with occupancy soon

after.

During the Soil and Water

Conservation Development

Division (SWCDD) portion of the

meeting, five of the six items of

business were approved by the

board with little comment.

However the sixth item was not

Director

J e n n yAsksamit

during a

s p e c i a l

m e e t i n g

on September 20th to review

quotes for a new ambulance for

the city.

This purchase, a couple of

years ahead of schedule, was

brought about by the fact that

the existing ambulance pur-

chased in 2010, is not compati-

ble with the new Stryker Power

Pro Cot that was to be installed

in the existing unit.

The new cot is necessary to

provide the best service to theirpatients while maintaining the

utmost safety for those on the

ambulance squad.

The new ambulance that was

approved by the council will

have many new safety and

patient care features not found

on the old unit. Including better

lighting,

for aidingin back-

ing safely

in and

out of

garages and accident scenes.

Although this purchase is

ahead of schedule, the money

has already been allocated, and

no additional monies will have

to be raised. The new unit,

which could be delivered as soon

as October 1st, will cost

$126,772.00. This is after

deductions of $4,700 from Ford

Motor Company, $60,000 trade

allowance for the old ambu-

lance, $8,700 trade for the olderpower pro cot system, and $500

for an even older cot system.

The new unit, a 2013 model,

is a demo unit, but will come

with a full Ford Motor Company

warranty.

Council gives go ahead on

new ambulance purchase

Little things make a dif-

ference for DNRs volun-

teer firearms safety

instructor of the yearIts the little things that do make

a difference to Gary Hebler of Pierz,

the Minnesota Department ofNatural Resources (DNR) 2012 vol-

unteer firearms instructor of the

year. Hebler received the award at

the recent Game Fair.

A certified instructor in the small

Morrison County community of

Harding since 1987, Hebler remem-

bers a bare-bones operation at the

start that now features four laser-

shot guns, eight .22 rifles, a trap

thrower, professional looking shirts

and hats for instructors and more.

In the beginning you had to bring

your own guns, but local clubs and

organizations stepped up over the

years since they realized hunting in

the area is a family activity they

wanted to support, he said.

Today 30-40 kids and adults are

DNR firearms safety certified each

year, many from the surrounding

area.

We attract them from as far

away as Brainerd and Little Falls

due to the reputation of the staff, a

team that gives 110 percent to the

students and DNRs firearms safety

program, Hebler said.

Hebler has recruited a least adozen instructors over the years and

is proud of the fact that three

females are among the dedicated

group.

Were seeing more and more

females attending our classes and we

felt adding female instructors would

make these young ladies feel more

comfortable during training, Hebler

said.

Hebler designed a unique field

day that included a series of stations

where students got hands-on experi-

ence before they went afield. Deer

stand safety and walking in the

woods and crossing fence scenarios

were among the stations.

Instructors, assisted by DNR con-

servation officers, have made the

field day a family event, inviting par-

ents and siblings of the students to

come join in the fun, including lunch

on the range.

Going the extra mile for students

is the norm for Hebler. When a phys-

ically challenged youth arrived for

class, Hebler went to work.

The student was bright and

enthusiastic, but would have prob-lems navigating the stations on

crutches, so I coordinated with a fel-

low instructor to find a golf cart to

chauffeur the student around the

stations. Lots of smiles that day,

Hebler said.

An avid hunter and trapper,

Hebler loves taking kids along

whether in the deer stand, duck

blind or target shooting in his back-

yard. His knowledge of the outdoors

and wildlife is great and hes always

willing to share it.

If I can help one child prevent an

accident while hunting its been well

worth it.

DNR QUESTION OF THEWEEK

Q: It appears to be that time of year for

tree diseases to surface. Is there anything

homeowners can do to protect their trees from

diseases and possible mortality, regardless of

tree species?

A: There are a number of things home-

owners can do to help keep their trees healthy.

Since many areas of the state are experienc-

ing drought, a good place to start is watering

the trees. Lack of water predisposes drought-

stressed trees to insects and pathogens that

can attack. Wherever possible, homeowners

should give their trees about one inch of water

each week.

In addition to watering, organic mulch, two-

to-three inches deep and spread out three toeight feet from the trunk, will guard against

lawn mower injury and keep roots moist.

Homeowners should also avoid using weed

and feed fertilizer products, which contain her-

bicide. While the product makes lawns look

good, it does kill tree roots. Picking up and

properly disposing of fallen leaves and tree

branches can help prevent the spread of tree

diseases now and next spring.

at www.dnr.state.mn.us/treecare/index.html.

53rd AnnualOrphan Train Conference

Between 1854-1929 over

50,000 children were placed out

n orphan trains from the East

Coast, venturing into unknown

erritory in the West by train, to

ettle with unfamiliar families

cross America. The transfer

was the first emigration plan

nd largest mass migration of

hildren ever to take place on

American soil; formulating our

ounties first child welfare sys-

em. For many of these children

rriving in new family homes

hroughout America, the place-

ment left them facing kind and

oving families, or as indentured

ervants bound to hard labor.

Descendants and interested

ersons gather annually to cele-

rate and discover the saga of

hose little pioneers drawn into a

ocial experiment spanning a

hree-quarters of a century (75

ears). There are less than fifty

urviving orphan train riders

xisting throughout the Unites

tates today.

A silent auction, meeting,

ntertainment, lunch and ora-

ions by orphan train rider

How to donate blood

Simply call 1-800-REDCROSS (1-800-733-2767) or visit

redcrossblood.org to make an

appointment or for more infor-

mation. All blood types are need-

ed to ensure a reliable supply for

patients. A blood donor card or

drivers license or two other

forms of identification are

required at check-in. Individuals

who are 17 years of age, weigh at

least 110 pounds and are in gen-

erally good health may be eligi-

ble to donate blood. High schoolstudents and other donors 18

years of age and younger also

have to meet certain height and

weight requirements.

Unused Ag Waste PondsAre you one of the Todd

County landowners who have an

unused, outdated manure stor-

age pond on your farm site? If

so, you may want to think about

properly closing the pond? These

unsightly, old ponds are an envi-

ronmental concern with the

potential of having the liquids

leach into the ground water as

well as a liability issue, should

someone or something fall into

the pond and drown.

The process to properly aban-

don these ponds is fairly simple.

Stop in at either the Todd SWCD

or USDA-NRCS office to find out

about funding options to help

with the pond closure and to

learn how ponds should be prop-

erly closed. If funding is not cur-

rently available, a low interest

loan may help fund the project.

To properly close a pond, thepond is emptied, the residual

manure is scraped off the side

slopes and pond bottom, then the

manure and contaminated soil is

removed and spread on cropland

fields at rates that crops can use

the nutrients. The pond is then

checked by the County Feedlot

Officer to see that all the con-

taminated soil has been

removed, the site is then leveled

and seeded and the landowner

receives a certificate of closure

for their records.

If you are interested, please

contact the Todd SWCD 320-732-

2644 or the NRCS office 320-732-6618 to learn more about proper-

ly closing these ponds and help

make your property safer with

less chance to pollute ground

water.

Over the years, we have developed a system of trails wide

enough for the little tractor or Mule to travel over most of the

farm. It has taken a lot of time and work to get them to where

they are, and it would be easy for what are now trails to revert

to impassible forest. One year of neglect will cause a wide path

through the woods to become a thicket of rose bushes and

saplings. Nature will reclaim what we to not make our own. We

like to keep the trails open to take a leisurely Sunday afternoon

walk or ride watching wildlife and enjoying nature. Wildlife also

takes full advantage of the trails that wind through the deepest

part of the timber. It is not unusual to stop and watch the deer

or turkey as we interrupt their feeding along our trails.

During the winter, ice and wind causes dead trees to fall

across our paths. The combination of spring weather and rich

soil makes every seed that has fallen grow. By summer, its time

to do trail maintenance or lose the trail. Summer brings a couple

f disincentives to going out in the woods with a chain saw and brush cutter. Scorching heat

ombined with smothering humidity is enough to make a person consider waiting until anoth-

r day. The heat and humidity combined with a bumper crop of voracious wood ticks will almost

uarantee nobody wants to work the trails. The path through the woods was not that bad.

Having to detour around a fallen tree and having bits of flesh ripped from a persons body by

ose bushes were a small price to pay compared to the second choice.

Last weekend, we had had enough. It was time to get to work. The tick population seems

under control (I think the turkeys ate most of them), and the temperature was down to a pleas-

nt eighty degrees. I put the chain saw in the back of the Mule and jumped on the tractor with

he brush cutter. My wife followed as we started up the first trail. I would mow ahead and stop

t fallen trees. My wife would pick up smaller logs along the trail and bring the chain saw to

me when I needed it. We cut down the Morman Trail, across the willow crossing, and up toward

he end of the Long Hayfield before the brush cutter broke down. I drove into the open pasture

nd we took the Mule back to the house for parts. On our return, my wife picked up logs and

ticks in the grass pasture while I did the repairs.

At more than one time, either or both of us had sat on the ground or walked through the tall

rass. The thoughts of wood ticks were fresh in our minds, but neither of us thought a thing

bout chiggers. How soon we forget. Chiggers are tiny biting insects that raise an itching welt

hat can drive a person crazy for days. The chiggers are at their worst in the early fall. I have

never heard of anybody getting one chigger bite and we were no exception. One thing about

higgers is a person does not know they have been savaged until after several hours or perhaps

day or two. There is plenty of time to finish the job at hand and get more bites.

By the next morning, my ankles were covered with red itching welts. By that afternoon, the

ull extent of our chigger exposure became obvious to both my wife and me. It is now time to

ake a break from trail maintenance until a heavy frost.We can not go out in public for a few

days because it is not always proper to scratch where it itches.

Scratch where it itches

By Walter Scott

Hi,

Life on the Freyholtz ranch continues to be really crazy busy. A week ago

we had Kates family over for supper for Gregs birthday. He always request

fried chicken for his birthday meal--so that is what I made. He should know

how much I love him, I dont make fried chicken for just anybody. It is a

time consuming greasy mess, but for him and his brother Jeff, who is mar-

ried to my daughter Kristi, I will do it. (Jeff always requests either fried

chicken or Swedish meatballs.)We had additional guests for supper that night. Sonnys son Adam and

his little boy Matthew stopped by to bring his beagle to stay with us until

its new owner picks it up. They put it in the dog kennel and it of course

barked and bayed--and then our two big old St. Bernards barked at the bea-

gle. Sonny told me they would settle down after a bit as they got used to

each other, but NO, all night long the chorus went on. I think Sonny saw

the fire shooting out of my eyes in the morning, and he moved the beagle to

the cattle trailer down by the barn. Much better. She still barks A LOT, but

she is far enough from the house so I can sleep. Shes been there a week

now, and still barking just as loud as ever. Wouldnt you think she would

lose her voice by now? I need to check on when the new owner takes pos-

session--and it better be soon.

Sonny has been trying to spend some special time with each grandkid

this summer. He has taken Johnathan, David and Mason out for a round of

hay bale moving. He lets them drive the tractor (with his help) and back-

ing up and picking up the bale with the bale fork has been a learning

adventure with the boys. Mason especially into farming. He told us he prac-tices backing up with the lawn tractor at home to prepare for the big day of

moving bales.

The little girls, Lydia (4) and Martha (2), felt kind of left out with

Grandpa Sonny doing farm stuff with the boys, last week on Friday he

picked Lydia up and they made a trip to the Thread Shed to do a little shop-

ping. They found a really nice porcelain doll for Lydia, and at a remarkably

low price. She was thrilled with her purchase. They bought some rolls and

stopped at my moms house for coffee after their shopping excursion. Lydia

had never been to Grandma Veras before, but she chattered away as

though she had been there many times. She had to show off her doll, and

then they had their rolls and beverages. They even made a quick stop at

the Blade office to show me the doll.

Saturday Grandpa Sonny took Martha for her big day. They went to the

Hewitt Barter Fest to see what they had to offer. I guess there were was a

large variety of things to peruse, barter for or buy. They stopped by our

house to show me Marthas purchase before he took her home. In a small

cardboard box was a little bunny, a live little bunny. Martha loves him andcalls him Rabbits. He is very gentle and tame; even lets her put him in the

basket on the back of her tricycle and ride around. Sounds like a good pet.

Now in return, Andrew (Marthas dad) wants to give us his Border

Collie, Maggie. They have ducks and the dog wont stop herding them

around the yard and they hate being herded. Im ok with that, I like Border

Collies---better than St. Bernards and WAY better than beagles.

Back at the dog farm/ranch,

Peggy

ASK A TROOPERy Sgt. Jesse Grabow of the Minnesota State Patrol

Question: What are the rules regarding using your brights while on the interstate?

Answer: This is what Minnesota State Statute says: 169.61 COMPOSITE BEAM.

(a) When a motor vehicle is being operated on a highway or shoulder ADJACENT thereto dur-

ng the times when lighted lamps on vehicles are required in this chapter, the driver shall use a

istribution of light, or composite beam, directed high enough and of sufficient intensity to reveal

ersons and vehicles at a safe distance in advance of the vehicle, subject to the following require-

ments and limitations.

(b) When the driver of a vehicle approaches a vehicle within 1,000 feet, such driver shall use a

istribution of light, or composite beam, so aimed that the glaring rays are not projected into the

yes of the oncoming driver.

(c) When the driver of a vehicle follows another vehicle within 200 feet to the rear

So what this means is whether the road is a two-lane, or a divided road such as a four-lane sep-

rated by a median or other barrier, a person still needs to dim for oncoming traffic with 1,000

et. This would also apply to traffic on frontage road according to the definitions of adjacent.

1. adjacent - nearest in space or position; immediately adjoining without intervening space;2. adjacent - having a common boundary or edge; abutting; touching;

3. adjacent - near or close to but not necessarily touching;

Question: Hello. I appreciate your weekly newspaper column and find it quite informative.

m hoping you can provide some clarification for me. As I understand it, livestock trailers don't

eed to be licensed if they are solely used for active farming purposes (hauling cattle to pasture).

s this correct? How about a livestock trailer used for 4H, purely leisure purposes?

Answer: As far as trailer registration, this is what Minnesota State Statute says: 168.012

ehicles exempt from tax or l icense fees. Subdivision 2a. Small farm trailer. Farm trailers with a

ross weight of less than 10,000 pounds, drawn by a passenger automobile or farm truck and used

xclusively for transporting agricultural products from farm to farm and to and from the usual

marketplace of the owner, shall not be taxed as motor vehicles using the public streets and high-

ays and shall be exempt from the provisions of this chapter.

A reminder of rear lighting and reflectors are still required along with the proper hookups

hitch, safety chain/cable, etc.)

If you have any questions concerning traffic related laws or issues in Minnesota, send your

uestions to Trp. Jesse Grabow Minnesota State Patrol at 1000 Highway 10 West, Detroitakes, MN 56501-2205. (You can follow him on Twitter @MSPPIO_NW or reach him at,

DNR announces special

youth deer season

Youth ages 10-15 are eligibleto participate in a special deer

season that runs from Thursday,

Oct. 17, to Sunday, Oct. 20, in 28

permit areas that encompass

portions of southeastern and

northwestern Minnesota.

This youth-only season pro-

vides an opportunity for parents,

guardians and mentors to sched-

ule and plan a special deer hunt

with youth, said Mike Kurre,

mentoring program coordinator

for the Minnesota Department of

Natural Resources.

Deer permit areas open to the

hunt are 101,105, 111, 114, 201,

203, 208, 209, 256, 257, 260, 263,

264, 267, 268, 338, 339, 341, 342,

343, 344, 345, 346, 347, 348, 349,

601 and 602. Whitewater Game

Refuge also is open to takingeither sex deer by eligible youth.

Youth must meet all firearms

safety requirement, possess a

license and use the appropriate

firearm for the permit area in

which they are hunting. They

may take a deer of either sex.

Licenses for youth ages 10, 11

and 12 are free. Licenses for

youth ages 13-17 cost $5. All

youths must pay a $1 issuing fee

when obtaining a license.

An adult mentor must accom-

pany the youth but may not hunt

or carry a firearm. The special

season should occur when stu-

dents are on school break. Publicland is open as is private land,

provided the youth hunter has

landowner permission.

Participating in youth deer

season does not preclude the

youth from participating in the

regular firearms deer season but

any deer harvested do count

against the youths season bag

limit.

DNR conservation

officers accept

new positionsThree Minnesota Department

of Natural Resources (DNR) con-

servation officers have accepted

new positions within the

Enforcement Division.

Capt. Tom Provost is the new

northeast region enforcement

manager based in Grand Rapids,

replacing Col. Ken Soring who

was named DNR enforcement

director in June. The northeast

region includes 55 conservation

officers within six enforcement

districts covering 11 counties in

northeastern Minnesota.

Provost was formerly the stan-

dards and training manager at

the DNR enforcement training

center at Camp Ripley in Little

Falls.

Provost began his DNR career

in 1989 as a research assistant in

the DNRs wildlife wetlands

research group before becoming a

conservation officer in 1991. He

was promoted to district supervi-

sor in the Brainerd area in 1998

and named training manager last

year.

Capt. Stacey Sharp is the new

northwest region enforcement

manager based in Bemidji. The

northwest region includes 37 con-

servation officers within four

enforcement districts covering 23

counties in northwestern

Minnesota.

Sharp was a Nebraska state

trooper from 1983-2005. He joined

the DNR in 2006, serving in theBemidji and Thief River Falls

field stations before being named

Bemidji area enforcement super-

visor in 2012. He replaces Capt.

Jim Dunn who is now enforce-

ments grants manager.

1st Lt. Jeff Koehn, a former

police officer, is the new DNR

District 7 enforcement supervisor

in Grand Rapids, replacing 1st Lt.

Dave Olsen who recently retired.

District 7 includes nine conserva-

tion officers covering Koochiching,

Itasca, and Aitkin counties.

A lifelong hunting, fishing, and

camping enthusiast, Koehn has

been with the DNR since 2006.Previous assignments include the

northeast regional ATV officer

and the DNR Enforcement

Divisions representative for the

forest certification audit process.

Koehn was named the DNR

District 6 enforcement supervisor

in Dec. 2010, and later the

District 8 enforcement supervisor.

DNR to offer state

lands at public auctionThe Minnesota Department of

Natural Resources (DNR) will

have 23 parcels of land in north-

eastern Minnesota for sale at a

public auction scheduled forFriday, Oct. 25.

The sale will include parcels

in Cook, Itasca, Lake, and St.

Louis counties, some of which are

lakeshore lots.

This is a great opportunity

for people looking for land in this

very popular recreational desti-

nation, said Jodi Dehn, DNR

realty supervisor. Its not often

that parcels in this area of the

state become available for sale.

The auction starts at noon

with registration at 11:30 a.m. at

the Lake County Law

Enforcement Center, main con-

ference room, 613 Third Ave.,Two Harbors.

The DNR sale will be immedi-

ately followed by a sale of tax-for-

feited lands in Lake County.

Interested buyers are encour-

aged to visit the DNRs land sale

information page at

www.mndnr.gov/landsale prior to

attending the sale.

Property data sheets with full

descriptions of the parcels

offered for sale and selling prices

will be posted on the website 30

days prior to the sale.

DNR confirms zebra

mussels in Maple Lake

in Douglas CountyTurtle and Long lakes (Douglas

County) and Lake Reno (Pope and

Douglas counties) also designated

The Minnesota Department of

Natural Resources (DNR) has con-

firmed the presence of zebra mus-

sels in Maple Lake in Douglas

County after responding to a report

of zebra mussels attached to the

wheel of a boatlift in the lake earli-

er this month.

DNR staff searched several

docks, lifts and near shore areas in

Maple Lake and found numerous

small zebra mussels attached to

several pieces of equipment in the

north end of the lake. Further

searches found additional small

zebra mussels at the south end of

the lake.

While no zebra mussels were

found in Lake Reno or Turtle and

Long lakes, these lakes will be des-

ignated as infested waters. Water

from Maple Lake can flow into

Lake Reno, and both Turtle and

Long lakes are located downstream

from Maple Lake. Searches will

occur on Lake Reno later this fall

when docks and boat lifts are

pulled from its shores.

These designations will serve as

a means to get ahead of an infesta-

tion, thus educational and enforce-

ment efforts to limit the spread of

invasive species will increase in

these waters. The designations also

will mean that boaters can expect

an increased presence of decontam-

ination units and crews on these

lakes.

These recent discoveries rein-

force the importance of practicing

proper aquatic invasive species pre-

ventative methods, said Joe

Eisterhold, DNR invasive species

specialist at Itasca State Park. We

want to remind folks to inspect all

water-related equipment when it is

removed from the water at the end

of the season and report any sus-

pected zebra mussel discoveries to

the local DNR area office.

Lakeshore owners should also

keep in mind that moving docks

and boat lifts from one lake to

another is a serious issue. Boat lifts

and docks are of particular concern

because they sit in the water for

extended periods, giving adult

zebra mussels a greater opportuni-

ty to attach themselves.

State law requires that all boat

lifts, docks and swim rafts removed

from any lake, river or stream

remain out of the water for 21 days

before being placed into another

water body.

DNR question

of the weekQ: With nesting season over,

what is the best method for clean-

ing out a bluebird house?

A: After birds are finished using

the box remove all of the nestingmaterial. If the box has a door, open

it and leave it opened until spring.

This way, rodents wont chew on

the door or the entrance hole to try

to get in. If the box is soiled, spray

a 10 percent bleach solution inside,

wipe it out and let it dry. This

should remove parasites and disin-

fect the box so it is ready for next

year.

Tigers lose to OTC but continue tolearn on the field

By Coach Petermeier

The Tigers traveled to Battle Lake Friday night and got a lesson in speed, quickness,

and what a weight room is for.

We have some seniors and juniors that absolutely play their tails off and from a coach-

ing standpoint and a human being standpoint I could not ask for more effort and tough-

ness from them. Our problem is we just dont have enough of them. We are putting some

pretty tough assignments and asking a lot in key positions from some pretty young and

inexperienced players. We continue to work on the little things to make us better. Proper

fits in a hole and closing down gaps made by pullers and kickers is critical to our success

on defense.

I see improvement each and every week and that is encouraging. But, when you face avery talented well coached team as we did in OTC you have to be perfect on every play.

They just have too many weapons in their backfield and their pulling guards and tackles

are as physical as they come, it is learning by fire for us at this point.

Thinking and running do not work in football and that is our hurdle to get over. We need

to get past thinking and turn it into reacting. With our numbers as they are, we cannot

simulate other teams offense and defense; we need to learn during a game. We really are

getting better from week to week. The score board does not show it but a one point loss or

is this case a 43 point loss is still a loss. We as coaches need to use film to show these young

men when and why something works and why something didnt.

Again, effort is not an issue, our effort is displayed every play and that is something our

young men take great pride in. We will continue to work hard on the little things to make

the bigger picture obtainable.

Tigers lose a tough one to OsakisBy Mary Irsfeld

The Browerville Tigers traveled to Osakis last Tuesday night to

take on the Silverstreaks. The Tigers were defeated 0-3 (24-26, 21-25,

22-25). It was a great match up with a lot of competitive volleys. It's

tough to lose but we took a lot of positives out of the match. We did a

lot of things well, but so did Osakis.

Katelyn Middendorf put up 27 set assists. Crystal Pearson led our

attack and back row with 14 kills and 22 digs. Paige Callahan had 7

kills while Kendra Buchta and Abigail Irsfeld each had 6 kills.

The Tigers have a busy schedule next week as they travel to Sebeka

on Monday, West Central Area on Tuesday, host Royalton onThursday, and head to Parkers Prairie on Saturday for a tournament.

Go Tigers!

218-738-2913

A long winter followed by a

old, wet spring contributed to a

ignificant decrease in

Minnesotas pheasant count,

hich declined 29 percent from

012, according to the Minnesota

epartment of Natural Resources

DNR).

Minnesotas results reflect

hat were seeing in other

tates, said Rachel Curtis, DNR

ildlife research biologist. South

akota had a 64 percent decrease

n its brood survey. North

akotas most-recent rooster

rowing count is down 11 percent

om last year. And Iowa reported

19 percent decrease in its

ugust roadside count.

Minnesotas 2013 pheasant

ndex is 64 percent below the ten-

ear average and 72 percent

elow the long-term average.

Pheasant hunters still are

xpected to harvest about

46,000 roosters this fall. Thats

own 44,000 from last years esti-mate and is less than half the

umber of pheasants taken dur-

ng the 2005-2008 seasons when

unting was exceptionally good.

The highest pheasant counts

ere in the southwest region,

here observers reported 51 birds

er 100 miles of survey driven.

Hunters should find good harvest

pportunities in west-central,

ast-central and south-central

Minnesota.

Pheasant populations respond

o habitat abundance and

hanges in weather, Curtis said.

The steady downward trend in

Minnesotas pheasant populationuring the past several years is

rimarily due to habitat loss.

Weather has caused minor fluctu-

tions.

The most important habitat for

heasants is grassland that

emains undisturbed during the

esting season. Protected grass-

ands account for about 6 percent

f the states pheasant range.

armland retirement programs

uch as Conservation Reserve

Program (CRP), Conservation

Reserve Enhancement Program,

Reinvest in Minnesota and

Wetlands Reserve Program make

up the largest portion of protected

grasslands in the state.

High land rental rates and

competing uses for farmland

diminish the economic attractive-

ness of farmland conservation

programs. CRP enrollment

declined by 63,700 acres in

Minnesotas pheasant range over

the last year and contracts for

nearly 400,000 acres of statewide

CRP lands are scheduled to

expire during the next 3 years. If

not re-enrolled, this would reduce

CRP acres in Minnesota by 30

percent.

To help offset continued habi-

tat losses caused by reductions in

conservation set-aside acreage,

the DNR has accelerated acquisi-

tion of wildlife management

areas in the farmland region of

Minnesota. The U.S Fish andWildlife Service also acquires and

protects habitat across the state.

In addition, the DNR supports

habitat conservation on private

lands by working with a variety of

partners in the Farm Bill

Assistance Partnership and

Working Lands Initiative.

High spring precipitation and

below average temperatures hurt

nesting this year. This years

average hatch date was delayed

to June 20, which is 11 days later

than the 10-year average of June

9.

Although fewer broods were

seen, brood size was larger thanlast year and comparable to the

long-term average. Actual repro-

duction rates may be higher than

the survey suggests. Hens that

were successful nesting later in

the season tend to be underrepre-

sented in roadside data and it is

possible that hens were still nest-

ing or in heavier cover with young

chicks during the survey period.

The pheasant population esti-

mate is part of the DNRs annual

August roadside wildlife survey,

which began in 1955. DNR con-

servation officers and wildlife

managers in the farmland region

of Minnesota conduct the survey

during the first half of August.

This year's survey consisted of

171 routes, each 25 miles long,

with 152 routes located in the

ring-necked pheasant range.

Observers drive each route in

early morning and record the

number and species of wildlife

they see. The data provide an

index of relative abundance and

are used to monitor annual

changes and long-term popula-

tion trends of pheasants, gray

(Hungarian) partridge, cottontail

rabbits, white-tailed jackrabbits,

mourning doves and other

wildlife.

The gray partridge index also

decreased from last year and

remained below the 10-year aver-

age. The cottontail rabbit index

increased from last year but

stayed below the 10-year and

long-term average. The jackrab-

bit index was 87 percent below

the long-term average. Finally,

the mourning dove index was 20

percent below last year and lower

than the 10-year and long-term

averages.

DNR seeks applications

for parks and trails

grantsThe Parks and Trails Legacy

grant program is soliciting appli-

cations by Oct. 25 for park and

trail projects across Minnesota.

Eligible projects include acqui-

sition, development, improve-

ment and restoration of park- or

trail-related facilities of regional

or statewide significance outside

the metropolitan area, as defined

in Minnesota Statutes, Section

473.121. Counties, cities and

townships are eligible to apply.

The program has $3.91 million

available for grants and $7.39

million available for specific leg-

islatively designated project

areas. Funding comes from the

Clean Water, Land and Legacy

Amendment, approved by voters

in 2008.

Program and application infor-

mation is available on the DNRs

website at www.mndnr.gov

Youth 15 and younger

no longer need free

small game licenseWith many small game seasons

open and pheasant season soon to

open, the Minnesota Department

of Natural Resources (DNR) is

reminding hunters that youth age

15 or younger no longer need a

free license to hunt small game.

In recent years, youth age 15

and under were able to hunt for

free but were required to have a

complimentary license in their

possession.

This hunting season its very

simple for kids 15 and younger,

said Jay Johnson, DNR hunting

recruitment and retention super-

visor. They can hunt grouse,

squirrels, ducks, pheasant and

rabbits without any license or

stamps.

Johnson said youth hunters

still need to comply with firearms

safety certification and otherrequirements. Free and reduced

price licenses are one of the tools

the DNR is using to encourage

youth to experience and continue

hunting, he said.

Youth 13 and younger must be

accompanied by a parent or legal

guardian.

Grouse season opened

Saturday, Sept. 14. Waterfowl

season opened Saturday, Sept. 21.

Pheasant season opens Saturday,

Oct. 12.
