Commissioners discuss tax reform

Under the Homestead Exclusion, a portion of the homestead market value will be excluded. The exclusion will equal 40% of the first $76,000 of market value. Under the old Homestead credit property taxpayers received a credit on their tax statement and their tax was reduced. Under the old Homestead Credit the State of Minnesota reimbursed the county, school district, municipality, and township for lost property tax revenue. In the case of Todd County the reimbursement from the state for the Homestead Credit was approximately $900,000. Under the tax reform plan that created the Homestead Exclusion the county will now receive nothing. Under the Homestead Exclusion the taxable value of a homesteaded property will go down but because the County has lost $900,000 in revenue, taxes will either go up or services will be cut. The Homestead Exclusion will show up on taxpayers 2012 property tax statement. There will be no Homestead Credit on the 2012 Property tax statement. County Administrator Nathan Burkett said he believed the Minnesota Legislatures tax reform had balanced the State budget on the back of Minnesotas property taxpayers. Assessor Chuck Pelzer said he would put a detailed explanation of the Homestead Exclusion at Todd Countys website under the Assessors page. 2012 COUNTY TAX LEVY Commissioners approved a preliminary 2012 tax levy of $13,272,090. It is expected that State program aides will cover $1,202,259 of that amount. As a result, the preliminary local tax levy is $12,069,831. Commissioners can decrease the amount of the levy but they can not increase it. The 2012 tax levy is slightly lower than the 2011 tax levy. This is the third year in a row that Todd County has either not increased or reduced the tax levy. Commissioners said it would be increasingly difficult to keep the tax levy at a zero percent increase now that the income from the Homestead Credit is no longer available. Todd County government has eliminated approximately forty positions, or 19% of its total employees, in recent years. That has allowed the county to keep costs down in the face of declining State Aid, County Administrator Burkett said. Even though no layoffs of county personnel have been required so far, County Commissioner David Kircher suggested the new Homestead Exclusion program might require layoffs if Todd County wants to continue its policy of not increasing the tax levy. Kircher said the Homestead Exclusion program will be bad for the local economy. GARBAGE HOLIDAY Continued on page 16.

Northern Pines mental health services

Northern Pines Mental Health Center, Inc. has begun providing campus counseling and outpatient therapy to Central Lakes College students. Kimberly Scearcy and Tammy Kmecik, mental health professionals from Northern Pines, are working from offices on the Brainerd campus for daily access. The therapists will travel to the Staples campus as needed. Beth Adams, dean of enrollment management and student services at CLC, said the partnership with Northern Pines is in response to an increasing need for mental health services among the student body. The number of students who suffer from mental health disorders has been on a steady increase throughout the nation, Adams said. Additionally, our CLC counselors are not able to meet the increasing demands for extended personal counseling and therapy that our students are presenting. Many of our students suffer from depression and anxiety and need additional support to be successful in college.

OPINIONS
Winning one battle at a time
pursuit. By this time the mouse was safely in the ditch. A mouse nest was well under construction in the back of the mailbox. I removed the mail and the nest and thought that was the end of it. The next day, with a bit more caution, I checked the mailbox to find the usual assortment of mail, a partially built mouse nest, but no mouse. The hunt was on. For several days I put on my heavy leather gloves to check the mail and remove the daily accumulation of mouse nest building materials. When I hadnt seen him for several days, I started to become complacent. I pulled up one day, without my gloves, and opened the door to be greeted by two beady little eyes staring back at me. I carefully shut the door, pulled my truck forward, and put on the gloves. When I opened the mailbox door, ready to smash his little furry body, I could see him clear at the back of the box, behind his latest pile of building materials. Bending over in a slightly awkward position, I extended my arm to the back and attempted to smash my little nemesis. I missed. He ran up my arm, across my back, and jumped safely to the cover of the grass in the ditch. This was starting to become a challenge. If this mouse was causing me this much annoyance, I could only guess what the mailman was thinking. Something had to be done soon or we would be getting a letter to come get our mail in town. The nest was removed each day but the mouse was usually not home. On day I opened the door to find him sitting contentedly on the newspaper as though he was reading it. I parked the truck in the middle of the road, grabbed my ice scrapper, and was on the attack. I needed to win this war. By this time, my wife would not get the mail if someone had sent us a winning lottery ticket. The ice scraper was thrust into the mailbox and dealt the mouse a glancing blow. He still managed to jump out, bounce off my chest, and scurry to safety in the tall grass of the ditch. At this time, I seriously considered using my forty-five. It would only leave one hole in the mailbox, but I finally calmed down and thought better of the plan. Saturday, I went up to get the mail and he was back. In a fit of rage, I reached in, with my bare hands, grabbed him and threw him to the ground. I stomped him where he lay and felt awfully proud of myself, having finally won this long protracted battle. I stopped to get the mail tonight and saw a freshly made mouse nest in the back of the mailbox. I think I will start carrying a shotgun with me when checking the mail.
A letter from the country

Dear friends, A message from Aaron, Die Ragweed, die! We dont want an early frost for the farmers sake, but all allergy sufferers are saying this year has been brutal and until there is a killing frost they will continue to suffer the effects of their allergies. Those of us without these allergies can only sympathize. As for me, I blew out my left knee this morning. It has been giving me pain and stiffness for a few days, and I have been reading up on exercises to relieve knee pain and strengthen them. I began my exercise regimen this morning--and as you can tell, it is really working well! I was on my way to work this morning and stopped by my moms for a few minutes. As I was leaving and walking to my car, my knee just gave an audible POP and the pain was the kind that makes you nauseous and light headed. I sat by the flowerbed for a few minutes to regain some composure and then hopped back to the house to borrow my dads walker. My brother Bob and his wife, Audrey, were at Moms, so he kindly drove me to work. I hopped my way in and have been rolling around in my office chair since, being very careful not to move that knee. I called the clinic and have an appointment this afternoon, so will see what the Dr. says. At this point if they say amputation is necessary I will just tell them to quit talking about it and get on with it. The pain is that bad. It brings back memories of when I broke my ankle in 2006, instant replay as I sat by the flowers wondering how I was going to get to the house without moving. Cant be done, clench the teeth and hop along. I made it, but not without considerable sweat! Ugh, I hate pain, and dont do well with adverse conditions. Hope this will be a quick fix, but doubt it. I will keep you informed. Sonnys son, Adam, is getting married Sept. 24, so I am crossing my fingers, not my legs, that I will be able to walk by then. I would hate to have to use the walker to hobble into the church. I believe a wheelchair would be preferable, no way to look good in my wedding attire as I hop on one foot, hoisting the walker along in front of me--and having to go all the way to the front of the church too--Dang and Blast!!! Sorry, just feeling sorry for myself, Ill go now and not subject you to my complaints any longer. See you soon. Hop along, otherwise known as Peggy
By Walter Scott Like most people, I am not afraid of mice. I am though, not above being startled by one when it moves quickly at a time that is least expected. A perfect example of this being when I open the mailbox. Our mailbox is the typical large metal box seen in rural areas. Its located at the end of our driveway, which is about a quarter of a mile long. Because of the distance from the house, my wife usually lets me get the mail when I come home from work. One afternoon a couple of weeks ago, as usual, I stopped to check the mail. When I opened the door, a mouse jumped out and just about made the distance from his hiding place into the opened car window. Needless to say, I was startled and just a bit perturbed. I had to roll ahead to be able to open the door before taking off in hot
School Safety Tips

Going back-to-school can provide parents a great opportunity to teach kids common sense behavior. The following tips are meant to help them stay safe at school or play. Teach your children their full name, address, and phone number including the area code and the work numbers of Mom or Dad. Be sure they know how to call 911. Encourage children to walk and play with friends, not alone. Talk to them about avoiding places that could be dangerous such as vacant buildings, construction sites, or wooded areas. Teach children to be alert to their surroundings and walk confidently. Tell them to avoid strangers hanging around playgrounds, public rest room, or empty buildings. Teach the children to obey all traffic signals and markings. Teach them to never enter the street from between parked cars or from behind bushes or shrubs. Darting into the street accounts for 50 to 70 percent of pedestrian injuries among children age 9 and under. A school bus has a blind spot approximately 10 feet in front of it. Make sure the children are aware of the blind spot and stress the fact that the driver cant see them in that area. At the bus stop make sure they walk at least 10 feet in front of the bus. Children should check in with a parent or trusted neighbor as soon as they get home from school. They should let you know if they will be staying late at school. Never tell anyone your home alone. Never post pictures of you on the internet. Children should never wear expensive jewelry or clothing to school. Teach them to never take guns, knives, or other weapons to school. They should tell a teacher or other school official if they see anyone with a weapon. Make time to talk to your children about their day. Make sure they are comfortable talking to you about anything that makes them feel uneasy or uncomfortable while away from home such as persons acting suspicious on their way to or from school or if they are being bullied. Always take seriously any fears or feelings they tell you about, especially about people or places that scare them. Teach them to trust their instincts. Children imitate their parents and model their behavior so always BE A GOOD ROLE MODEL. Show them how to be safe not just tell them.

DAV Presents Second Vehicle to Transportation Program

Old Glory Run Number Two is now in service, transporting Veterans to their medical appointments at the St. Cloud VA. The Disabled American Veterans (DAV) Foundation of Minnesota purchased the vehicle with money raised by the Old Glory Run in Cold Spring, and presented the keys to St Cloud VA officials on Aug. 25. The new vehicle will join Old Glory Run Number One, a 2010 Ford E350 Club Cab van purchased last year by the DAV with money raised by the Old Glory Run, in the DAV Volunteer Transportation Program. The DAV Volunteer Transportation Program provides Veterans within a 50-mile radius of St. Cloud with rides to medical appointments at the St. Cloud VA who do not have other means of transportation due to financial or medical hardship. Last year, volunteer drivers at the St. Cloud VA traveled over 167,000 miles and transported 2,768 Veterans to appointments. The new vehicle is a great addition to the fleet, and we deeply appreciate the support and generosity of the DAV and the Old Glory Run said Barry Bahl, Director of the St. Cloud VA Health Care System. The new vehicle can carry up to six passengers, and offers a very comfortable ride. Its lower to the ground than vans and the seat level is great for ease of access, said David Valtinson, the state commander of the DAV. Ann Erickson, a member of the St. Cloud-area Chapter 9 of the Minnesota DAV, pointed out the money for the vehicle was raised in central Minnesota, and the vehicle will stay in central Minnesota and serve our Veterans. Veterans needing to arrange a ride with the DAV Volunteer Transportation Program should contact Ken Kelley at 320.252.1670 - Ext. 6676. All Veterans are encouraged to enroll in the VA health care system. For information on enrolling for VA health care, contact the St. Cloud VA HCS Eligibility Office at (320) 255-6340 or your local Veterans Service Office. The Todd County Veterans Services has a transportation program for veterans to ride the Veteran Van to the St Cloud VA and the Minneapolis VA for medical appointments. Contact our office for more information at 320-732-4418.

City of Browerville Official Minutes of the Browerville City Council September 8, 2011
The monthly Browerville City Council Meeting for September met at City Hall on September 8, 2011 and was called to order at 7:00 p.m. Members Aksamit, Iten, Oberg, Wieshalla and Heid were present. The meeting opened with the Pledge of Allegiance. Consent Agenda: Approval of Minutes Payment of Claims Building Permits: Motion by Wieshalla second by Heid to approve the Consent Agenda as presented. CU Department Reports: Liquor Store: Staff informed the Council that there may be a problem with the water softener at the Liquor Store. The water usage is unusually high and the softener salt usage is also very high. Staff will monitor water usage to pinpoint the problem. Public Works: Bob Brown, VP for the Citys engineering firm, Bolton & Menk was present at the meeting to update the Council on needed improvements at the Wastewater plant. Brown informed the Council that a meeting was held with Dans Prize to review recent usage patterns. Based upon the information received from Dans Prize and the testing done at the plant, DP is responsible for between 75 85 % of the phosphorus coming into the plant. DP will be conducting a test study using a mobile system to pre-treat for oil & grease. The system will also reduce the amount of phosphorus leaving the plant. Brown then discussed with the Council the fact that the WW plant equipment has exceeded its normal 20 year life expectancy and that all three blowers need to be replaced. At the present time only two of the blowers are functioning. The new blowers, diffusers, and control panel will have an estimated cost of between $700,000 800,000. Due to the fact that the replacements are maintenance, not changing the basic functioning of the plant, there are not grants available to help fund the improvements. There is a potential rebate from MN Power through a program that allows for rebates on energy saving equipment. Council referred the issue to the finance committee for review. Law Enforcement: Deputy Sheriff Lonnie Marcyes was present at the meeting to gather input from the Council. Motion by Iten second by Wieshalla to approve

Lakewood Health System serves up locally grown foods

Fresh romaine lettuce, sweet cherry tomatoes, vitamin-rich cucumbers these and other locally grown, fresh-from-thegarden treasures have found their way onto the plates of patients, employees, and visitors at Lakewood Health System. The Grille at Lakewood Health Systems main campus along with Lakewoods Senior Campus cafeteria are both incorporating locally grown produce into their salad bars as a part of a pilot project to determine how best to implement a local foods program into Lakewoods food service. The pilot project is being funded in part by grants from the Initiative Foundation of Little Falls and the Central Regional Sustainable Development Partnership and Center for Urban and Regional Affairs at the University of Minnesota.
Lakewoods Nutrition Services Director, Jena Doemel, says buying locally is a win-win for both the hospital and area growers. Not only does it enable us to support local businesses, says Doemel, but the food tastes better and is usually higher in nutritional quality. Its not uncommon for the cherry tomato someone places on their plate at noon, to have been growing on the vine only hours earlier. Barry Thoele, owner of Barrys Cherries in Staples sells cherry tomatoes and romaine lettuce to Lakewood and grows his produce entirely in nutrient-enhanced water. The process, known as hydroponic growing, offers several advantages. Because he never plants in the ground, Thoele says he is able to better control growing conditions and therefore deals with fewer pests and disease. Thoele has been an area pioneer in hydroponics and has shared his experience and technique with other growers and home gardeners throughout the Midwest. Chuck Tangen, a grower from Motley, provides produce for Lakewood along with area farmers markets. Tangen produces a wide array of produce, including onions, peppers, sweet corn, squash, beans and melons, on four acres of farmland where he grew up. He returned to farming several years ago after time spent working in the Twin Cities, followed by several years working in landscaping and groundskeeping at Maddens resort near Brainerd, where he now sells his produce at Maddens newly created farmers market. Mel Wiens (a retired agriculture researcher with the Central Lakes College Agriculture and Energy Center, Staples) is another local source of produce for Lakewood. Wiens and his wife raise cattle, ducks, geese and chickens plus a variety of vegetables on twenty acres of land outside Staples. The Wiens farm was one of several Minnesota farms recently featured as part of the Sustainable Farming Associations annual Festival of Farms. As part of the pilot project, Lisa Myslajek, a recent graduate of the University of Minnesota, has been studying Lakewoods local foods distribution model and will provide a report later this year on how Lakewood can maximize its local foods sourcing into the future. Doemel says those plans will no doubt call for the addition of even more local foods We are very happy with how things have gone this summer and were excited to see where this innovation will take us.
Rachels Challenge is coming to Browerville, Long Prairie
Minnesota State High School League implements new information program
By Ashley Olson Hi, Im Ashley Olson and my partners name is Karina Sovich. This year at BHS we have a new course. We will be writing on sporting events and non-sporting events. Such events include plays, band concerts, and many other fun activities. Browerville will have its own page on the MSHSL site. (www.mshsl.org) This program was created by the MSHSL media specialist, John Millea. He spent 20 years at the Minneapolis Star Tribune before joining the MSHSL; his work also appeared in Newsweek Magazine, the New York Times, Chicago Sun-Tribune, Boston Herald, Seattle Post-Intelligencer, Sporting News, Baseball America, Scholastic Coach, Family Fun and many other publications. We are very lucky to be the first students to be able to try out this course. Our next article will be on the football game Friday in Swanville-vs. the U.S.A. Patriots. According to the boys of the Browerville football team, they feel it will be a very good game. Playing U.S.A. is always intense and fun to watch. Last week U.S.A. beat New York Mills in a defensive battle that ended in a game ending field goal, which made the score 3-0. Browerville also played a great game against the Barnesville Trojans losing 25-15. Browerville unfortunately will have to play without their starting Senior Quarterback Seth Kellen, due to upper compartment syndrome, which is an upper thigh contusion. Junior Mitch Heid will be filling in. Good luck boys!
Tigers vs. Upsala

By Ashley Olson and Karina Sovich All the girls are hoping for a really good season. When asked, how do you think you are going to do, Abby Aksamit stated, Well do okay, once we get it together as a team. As long as we cover and get our serves, well do great! The biggest thing is, we need to stay together as a team. This year will be a good year, with a great chance for success. It is only the beginning of the year, and we are looking good! We interviewed Coach Irsfeld. First we asked, How do you thing the game will go? She replied, Were going to rock! And if we play well, we are going to win! How many seniors do you have this year? She said, We have four seniors, Bree Ludwig, Abby Aksamit, Megan Kruzel, and Rachel Perish. How many returning varsity players do you have? We have five returnees, Megan Kruzel, Bree Ludwig, Abby Aksamit, Katelyn Middendorf, and Makenna Hegseth. How are your girls dealing with school and still being focused in the game? They have been greatly focused in school, and in the game. Who do you think would be the biggest competitors in the game right now? Right now I would have to say Upsala and Sebeka would be our toughest competitors, but we will wait and see later in the season! On Saturday, the Tigers hosted an invite. The teams included the Henning Hornets, KMS Fighting Saints, Isle Huskies, Osakis Silverstreaks, Eagle Valley Rebels, Bertha-Hewitt Bears, and the Brandon/Evansville Chargers. The senior girls predicted that KMS or Osakis would be a couple of the toughest teams in the invitational. They have always been rivals with Osakis and if they won they would get caramel rolls! Bertha-Hewitt seems to be pretty equal with our team, playing wise and they have a few strong hitters. But if they get their digs, hopefully they can come out on top! The Eagle Valley Rebels have always been our long long time rivals. Having a win over them would be satisfying, but anything could happen. This should be a good game to watch. As for the other teams they will have to see, they are unpredictable because our volleyball girls dont play them as often as the others. Life is short, play hard.---anonymous
On Tuesday, September 20, Long Prairie-Grey Eagle Schools will be hosting a Rachels Challenge Event. The Browerville Public School will host Rachels Challenge on September 21st. A Public session will be held at the High School at 7:00p.m. Two seperate sessions will be held at the school for grades 5-8 and 9-12. Rachel Scott was the first person killed at Columbine High School on April 20, 1999. Her acts of kindness and compassion coupled with the contents of her six diaries have become the foundation for one of the most lifechanging school programs in America called Rachels Challenge. During the morning, LPGE students in grades 7-12 will attend 1 of 2 assemblies. Powerful video/audio footage of Rachel's life and the Columbine tragedy will hold students spell-bound during the one hour school presentation that motivates them to change the way they treat others. These assemblies are followed by a separate interactive 90 minute training session involving both adult and student leaders that will teach how to sustain the momentum created by the assembly. The assembly creates the desire for change. The training session teaches the how to and ensures that the positive impact will continue. At 7:00 p.m. at the LPGE High School Auditorium, the Rachels Challenge speaker will conduct a powerful session with parents and community leaders. This session is similar to the assembly program and ends with a specific challenge to parents and community leaders, showing them how they can reinforce the decisions their youth are making. Entertainers, politicians, sports celebrities, educators, and even two Presidents of the United States have been impacted by Rachels Challenge. However, students are the target audience and they have proven that they will respond with positive words, attitudes, and actions. After the assemblies, Kindness Cards will be distributed in support of Rachel's Challenge. These Kindness Cards allow people to track and measure how one simple act of kindness can start a Chain Reaction of Kindness around the globe and touch the lives of many! By using online technology, kindness can be tracked by uniquely identified Kindness Cards, which each have a distinct ID code that enables the Kindness Card to be tracked as it travels the globe. Here's How It Works in 5 Easy Steps: Receive a Kindness Card from someone else. If you don't have a Kindness Card yet - don't worry! Write Rachel's Challenge to see where the nearest school/organization is selling Kindness Packs. Do an Act of Kindness for someone and give them a Kindness Card. This person passes it on and gives that Kindness Card to someone new along with a good deed. As your Kindness Card travels the world, www.RachelsChallenge.org will notify you by e-mail every time your Kindness Card gets reported online. See the difference you make! For more information please call LPGE Community Ed Office at 320732-4641 or visit www.rachelschallenge.org. Make plans now to attend the evening Rachels Challenge Event on Tuesday, September 20 at 7:00 p.m. at the Long Prairie-Grey Eagle High School Auditorium where, You just may start a chain reaction. ~Rachel Joy Scott.

Tigers face Upsala and host Invitational

By Coach Irsfeld The Browerville Volleyball Team traveled to Upsala on Thursday for a conference match-up with the Cardinals. The Tigers were defeated 3-0 (12-25, 15-25, 20-25). Brianna Ludwig finished with 10 kills, 13 digs, and 8 blocks. Makenna Hegseth contributed 12 digs. Katelyn Middendorf had 9 set assists and Teal Line had 6. Upsala has a nice squad that runs a smooth, quick offense. Our blockers were late which opened more holes in our defense. We made some changes offensively that made us more competitive but it wasnt enough. Defensively, we needed to read the setter and key in on hitters. Saturday the Tigers hosted an Invitational. Isle, Brandon /Evansville, Bertha-Hewitt, KMS, Henning, Osakis, and Eagle Valley attended. The Tigers battled back and forth with Eagle Valley in their first match-up with the Tigers losing 1-2 (20-25, 25-20, 16-18). In round two the Tigers faced Isle and defeated them 2-1 (26-24, 22-25, 15-13). The Tigers final pool play was with Bertha-Hewitt. The final point was awarded to BerthaHewitt due to an already used time-out which warranted a delay of the game. (19-25, 25-22, 14-16). The Tigers then faced Brandon/ Evansville in the play-off round and were defeated 1-2 (11-25, 25-23, 8-15). Abby Aksamit led attackers with 18, Megan Kruzel had 16, Ludwig had 15, and Andi Buhl, Heidi Sticha, and Haley Piotrowski all had 8. Ludwig led blockers with 8, Aksamit put up 7, and Sticha had 4. Kruzel had 8 service aces, Line had 7, as Hegseth and Buhl each had 5. Kruzel had 55 digs, Hegseth 41, and Ludwig 35. Middendorf put up 37 set assists as Line had 24. Saturday was a rollercoaster ride. We went three games with each team we faced. Competitive is a word Ive been using in practice quite often. We have some positions that need to step up and start getting some notable stats. I believe they can do it. Now I need them to believe it. The Tigers host Eagle Valley on Tuesday and Swanville on Thursday. Come cheer us on!
The Tiger girls battled back and forth with Eagle Valley in their first match-up with the Tigers losing 1-2 (20-25, 25-20, 16-18). In round two the Tigers faced Isle and defeated them 2-1 (26-24, 22-25, 1513).

Sheriffs Report
At 5:13 pm, September 4, Laurie Overbey, rural Cushing, was approx. one mile east of Whoopee Inn on County 16, when her 1999 Ford Windstar engine compartment caught fire. Browerville Fire Department assisted at the scene. The vehicle was a total loss. On September 5, at 4:30 pm, a boating accident occurred on Lake Osakis near Battle Point. Terrence Saunders, Maple Grove, operating a 1992 fiber glass Cajun, with a 200 HP outboard, owned by Gregory Saunders, Corcoran, struck a boat owned and operated by Vernon Vogh. Both boats sustained moderate damage. Karen F. Vogh, Crystal, a passenger in the Vogh boat, was thrown overboard. She was wearing a life vest and was assisted back in the boat. Keith L. McClelland, Elk River, a passenger in the Saunders boat, sustained a minor arm injury when he was knocked off the boat seat. Another passenger in the Saunders boat, Heather A. Saunders, was not injured. Also uninjured were Orianna Vogh, 4, and Pacey Vogh, 2, passengers in the Vogh boat. Both boats were driven to shore and secured by the owners. At 1:14 pm, September 5, the sheriffs department received a report of property damage at the intersection of State Hwy 210 and 245th Ave. Ray Ellingworth, New York Mills, driving a Ford F150, and pulling a 27 foot 5th wheel camper, was struck by the stop arm at the railroad tracks. There was minimal damage to the camper, no one was injured. BNSF Railroad responded to the accident and fixed the broken stop arm. On September 6, at 8:43 am, a Todd County Sheriffs Deputy attempted to stop a 2001 Ford F250 on County 89, near County 14, for a stop sign violation and driving after revocation.

Nebraska angler found with 21 walleyes over the legal limit

A Nebraska angler was fined almost $1,200 after a 700 mile fishing trip to northern Minnesotas Lake of the Woods resulted in an over-limit. Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) conservation officer Robert Gorecki of Baudette was patrolling the nearly 350,000-acre lake on July 31 when he came across James E. Thomsen, 68, of Ashland, Neb. The officer asked Thomsen how the fishing was. When I began asking about how many fish he had in possession, he got nervous, said Gorecki. The current daily and possession limit on Lake of the Woods is six walleyes and not more than one walleye more than 28 inches. At Thomsens resort cabin, Gorecki found a freezer containing 53 fillets, or 27 walleyes. Thomsen admitted that several of the fish were over the 28-inch slot limit. He was charged with a gross over-limit of 21 walleyes, and would have to make a court appearance. After the officer spoke with the Lake of the Woods County attorney the following morning the charge was reduced to a misdemeanor, but the fine and the restitution amounts remained the same as a gross misdemeanor. Thomsen agreed, paid $1,165 in fine and restitution ($535 fine, and $630 restitution), and pled guilty to the violation. After he paid the fine, I assisted Mr. Thomsen in hooking his boat trailer to his vehicle, and he

DNR seeks public input on moose management and research plan

Citizens interested in Minnesota moose can now provide input on the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources' (DNRs) proposed moose research and management plan. The public comment period began Aug.15 and ends Sept. 30. Comments will be taken online only. The draft plan incorporates many of the recommendations of the 18-member Moose Advisory Committee, which was a group of individuals from diverse backgrounds who all had an interest in the future of moose in Minnesota. The public can review the committees final report and the draft plan, and provide proposal feedback online at www.mndnr.gov/moose. Additional comments can be emailed to wildlife.dnr@state.mn.us. Moose are an important species in Minnesota and the observed population declines are cause for concern, said Lou Cornicelli, big game program coordinator."It is our hope that this plan helps DNR prioritize research and management that benefits moose populations." Public input will be reviewed and considered in September and October. The final Minnesota moose research and management plan will be completed in the fall.
Hunters reminded not to shoot radio-collared bears

Hunters participating in Minnesotas bear season are reminded to avoid shooting radiocollared research bears, which are marked with large colorful ear tags or colorful streamers. Hunters are likely to find collared bears in and near Thief Lake Wildlife Management Area; the Agassiz National Wildlife Refuge; the Chippewa National Forest; Camp Ripley; the Cloquet Forestry Station; Voyageurs National Park; and northern St. Louis County between Ely and Tower near the Eagles Nest chain of lakes. Photos of some collared research bears are available on the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) website at www.mndnr.gov/bear. Any hunters who do shoot collared bears should call the DNR

DNR predicts best fall color season in 10 years

Minnesotans are encouraged to keep the camera batteries charged and to not put the tent or the picnic basket away just yet, because the upcoming fall color season could be the best it has been in 10 years, according to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR). With adequate rain during the growing season for two consecutive years and recent weather patterns that have included the ideal combination of warm, sunny days and cool evenings, were predicting an especially vivid display of color across the state in the weeks ahead, said Jana Albers, DNR forest health specialist. Wondering when and where to schedule weekend getaways to catch the colors as they peak? Visit the DNR website at www.dnr.state.mn.us/fall_colors/index.html for online fall color reports provided by staff at Minnesota state parks and recreation areas from across the state. Starting this week, reports will include percent of color change, peak color projections, flowers and grasses in bloom, and three state parks considered hot picks of the week. The reports are updated by noon every Thursday. Thanks to a mobile website developed by the DNR last year, fall color information also can be accessed from mobile phones. Android and iPhone (also iPod Touch and iPad) smart phones are both supported. People can also use any WebKit-based browser (Chrome or Safari) to view the website, which features real-time access to fall color reports and integration with Google maps. To view the site, visit www.mndnr.gov. Colors typically peak between mid-September and early October in the northern third of Minnesota, between late September and early October in the central third, and between late September and mid-October in the southern third (which includes the Twin Cities). Many Minnesota state parks have planned programs and special events to coincide with peak color projections in their area.

Citing the disappointing legislative session and government shutdown as the latest proof that vision, leadership and long-term planning are desperately needed in the state. Minnesota cities were once again dealt a significant budget blow during this years legislative session, with another round of large cuts to Local Government Aid (LGA), a program that is critical in holding down property taxes and funding critical community services like police, fire, and local economic development planning. Expressing deep concern about the consequences of rising property taxes - which have increased over three billion dollars since 2002 city officials were resolute that there is a larger problem facing Minnesota than the cuts alone, the lack of strategic vision and economic planning for the state. There are economic development and property tax policies that work, like Local Government Aid, but this is not just about cities fighting for LGA funding, this is about driving a policy debate about how we are growing and building our local and regional economies, said Alan Oberloh, President of the Coalition of Greater MN Cities. The inaction and unwillingness of the legislature to provide long-term budget solutions and long-term planning in their policy making, has prompted local leaders to take charge and force these conversations, Oberloh said. We will not sit by and hope Greater Minnesota is positioned for growth we are going to engage the public, our businesses and our fellow local leaders in developing strategies so our kids and grandkids inherit communities filled with opportunity and a future. We have to quit talking and thinking in terms of is it taxes or no taxes, is it cuts or no cuts, is it democrat or republican. The public is begging for politicians to quit bickering, and quit putting shortterm band aids on problems they want a long-term vision and a strategic plan that will position us for growth.

The changes are designed to maintain Minnesotas waterfowl hunting tradition by increasing opportunity and better utilizing the federal regulatory framework set by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under which we operate, Landwehr said. The changes reflect input from a recently formed citizen waterfowl hunting focus group. This years earlier-than-usual opener will allow hunting when greater numbers of migrating wood ducks and blue-winged teal are around, yet maintains late-season opportunities. Hunting north of Minnesota Highway 210 the North Duck Zone will be allowed continuously through Tuesday, Nov. 22. Hunters in the South Duck Zone anywhere south of Highway 210 will have a split season. Hunting will be allowed Sept. 24-25 to take advantage of early migrations then close for five days. The season in the south will resume on Saturday, Oct. 1, and continue through Sunday, Nov. 27, Thanksgiving holiday weekend. Legal shooting hours on Sept. 24 will be one-half hour before sunrise rather than the 9 a.m. start that has been in place for the past seven years. Shooting hours end at 4 p.m. daily statewide until Saturday, Oct. 8, when hunting will be allowed until sunset. Hunters will be able to keep up to four mallards, two of which may be hens, and three wood ducks. The hen mallard and wood duck limits increased by one compared with recent years. Daily limits for pintail, scaup and redhead remain at two. Hunters may still take one canvasback and black duck. The possession limit is twice the daily bag limit. Minnesota's 2011 mallard breeding population is estimated at 283,000, which is 17 percent higher than last years estimate of 242,000 breeding mallards, 3 percent above the recent 10-year average and 26 percent above the long-term average.

Duck season offers more options, opens one week earlier

Opening day, opening day shooting hours and the annual youth waterfowl hunt all will be earlier than in the past. Bag limits for wood ducks and hen mallards will be higher than last year. And north and south hunting zones have been added to provide additional hunting opportunity. We needed a change, said Tom Landwehr, commissioner for the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR). We heard from waterfowl hunters that they supported these changes, and with waterfowl hunter numbers at record lows, we dont expect season changes to negatively affect breeding populations. Landwehr said the 60-day, six-duck limit waterfowl season will open Saturday, Sept. 24, opening day shooting will start one-half hour before sunrise and youth waterfowl day will be Saturday, Sept. 10. Duck bag limits are consistent with most other states in the Mississippi Flyway.

tal population is 9 percent above 2010 and 22 percent above the long-term average. "While we are very concerned waterfowl hunter numbers have been in decline in Minnesota, the Dakotas and Canada, said Landwehr, fewer hunters has resulted in lower duck harvests. In Minnesota, we are confident our mallard population is strong enough to absorb an increase in harvest, given the reduced pressure. The special September Canada goose season will remain similar to last year. September Canada goose season opens Saturday, Sept. 3, and runs until Thursday, Sept. 22 statewide, with a bag limit of five Canada geese per day. The opening of the 85-day regular Canada goose season coincides with the opening of duck season on Saturday, Sept. 24, and retains a daily bag limit of three. Hunters north of Minnesota Highway 210 may hunt continuously through Saturday, Dec. 17. Hunters in the south zone may hunt
Sept. 24-25 and resume on Saturday, Oct. 1, continuously through Thursday, Dec. 22. Another goose zone near Rochester will provide additional late hunting opportunity. Minnesota's traditional Youth Waterfowl Day will be conducted Saturday, Sept. 10, two weeks before the regular duck opener. It is timed to provide youth with an opportunity to hunt abundant early migrating teal. To participate, youth 15 and younger must obtain a free small game hunting license, a Harvest Information Program (HIP) certification, and be accompanied by a non-hunting adult. Duck limits will be the same as the regular season and youth will be able to take five Canada geese. Hunters should consult the waterfowl hunting regulations supplement for additional details.

Council updated on Waste Water Treatment

By Venus King Browerville City Council Members met Thursday September 8. After approval of the Minutes and Agenda the Liquor Store reported on some issues with the current water softener. It is currently using too much salt and running too often. Some suggestions were to start monitoring the Ice Machine, put dye into the toilets and check for leaks in other areas. The last resort would be to purchase a new water softener. Bob Brown, Vice President of Bolton & Menk, the city of Browervilles engineering firm, gave an update on Waste Water Treatment. He has been doing testing and meeting with Dans Prize on various concerns. The main priorities at this time are the blowers, lateral diffusers in the basin and controls at the Waste Water Treatment Plant. They have exceeded their life limit and Chuck Buhl is having a difficult time getting parts to do repairs. New equipment would be much more efficient and would offer big energy savings. No action was taken at this meeting except to send all information to the Public Works Committee, then to the Finance Committee to be put on the agenda for the October meeting. Council Members approved For Sale signs to be locally made and installed at the Browerville Industrial/Business Park, located on the south end of town. Also approved was the lease agreement for Jon Alexander to install and maintain a sign for Big Boyz Truck Wash in the middle lot of the Industrial Park area. A Public Hearing for the Final Assessment Hearing of the 2010 Improvement Project will be held Monday October 10 at 7:00 p.m. in the Browerville Community Center. After approval of the Resolution Preliminary Levy, budget approval and the BCA Joint Powers Agreement, the meeting was adjourned.

Commissioners, continued
October 6th through the 8th will be a garbage holiday at the Todd County Transfer Station near Browerville. During that time, waste electronics, appliances, fluorescent tubes, and a limited amount of tires will be accepted at the transfer station at no cost. Commissioner Gerald Ruda, who was instrumental in bringing about the garbage holiday, said this was a way for neighbors to work together to clean up excess garbage and beautify the county. Ruda said this is the first time anything like this had been tried in Todd County. SHERIFFS BOAT and WATER GRANT Sheriff Pete Mikkelson received approval to accept a $3,688 boat and water grant. Mikkelson said the money will come from the State of Minnesota. Minnesota received the money from the federal government. The money will be used to purchase life vests for the County Boat and Water Patrol as well as buoys and a sonar device. Mikkelson said the sonar device could be used to help locate a body under water and the buoys will be used to mark shallow spots that are dangerous to boaters. COUNTY DITCH 19 Commissioners approved the expenditure of $8,975.50 to spray herbicides on County Ditch 19 in Ward and Hartford Townships. The herbicides will be used to control thistles and brush. The chemicals used will be Garlon 3A, DMA 4 Aquatic 2-4-D, and Nu-film. The work will be done by Central Applicators of Foley.
