By Tim King

At their Tuesday, September 20 meeting Todd County Commissioners

approved a Conditional Use Permit for the construction of a new wood

shavings mill to be constructed adjacent to Highway 71 south of Long

Prairie. The wood shavings plant will employ five people and be owned

by Jennie-O Turkey Store, Inc. The mill itself will be 8,000 square feet.

The outside log storage area will take up eight to twelve acres of land,

according to minutes of the Todd County Planning and Zoning

Commission. The log yard will be behind the mill building and out of view

of Highway 71. Jennie-O is working with the Minnesota Department of

Transportation to create a safe access from the highway into the plant.

Six to ten trucks will be entering the facility daily, according to a Jennie-O spokesman. The new facility will be in Long Prairie Township.

Commissioners approved the permit based on the recommendation of the

Planning and Zoning Commission.

Commissioners also approved a preliminary 2.43 acre one lot plat in

Staples Township. As a condition to final approval of the plat, Larry I.

Hansen owner of the land, will be required to map all the accumulated

junk on the land surrounding the newly platted lot and create a plan for

its removal prior to November 1. He will also be required to build a pri-

vacy fence to screen machinery and junk on the property from view.

Commissioners approved the preliminary plat based on the recommen-

dation of the Planning and Zoning Commission.

COURT HOUSE RENOVATION

Drilling for the geothermal heating and cooling system for the reno-

vated Todd County courthouse ran into a snag recently, according con-

struction manager Earl Feuchtman, of Contegrity Group. The geother-

mal system was supposed to have forty-four connected holes, 150 feet

deep. However, a number of boreholes ran into very large boulders

sixty feet below the surface. The

boulders, and spaces between

them, made it difficult to bore

more deeply. The problem was

solved by deciding to drill fewer

holes, but have ten of the holes 300

feet deep instead of 150 feet deep.

Feuchtman said the system will

work just as well with deeper, but

fewer, holes. The change in plans

for the geothermal bore holes will

cost an additional $9,204.90. The

money will be taken from the ren-

ovation projects contingency fund.

So far $132,425.90 of the $312,000

contingency fund has been spent.Fuechtman said he has been

unable to get anyone to submit an

acceptable bid to put a steel roof on

the courthouse. He said he sus-

pects this is because it is late in

the season for roofing contractors.

He said temporary repairs should

be made to the roof this fall and

the roofing project should be let for

bids again in the spring.

Feuchtman also said the foun-

dation of the courthouse has now

been stabilized. New windows

should be in the building by the

end of October.

OCTOBER STARWATCHBy Deane Morrison

Take advantage of the clear, crisp nights

to watch October's celestial show. Headlinersthis year are Mars and the moon.

About two hours before dawn on the 1st,

grab your binoculars and look to the east.

You'll see the bright star Regulus, in Leo, and

above and slightly to its right the reddish bea-

con of Mars. On that morning, the Red Planet

appears in the midst of the lovely Beehive

star cluster of Cancer a stunning sight

Mars is a planet on the move, however.

Throughout the month it pushes on toward

Regulus, and in November the planet and

star will have a close encounter.

Jupiter is high and even more brilliant

than usual, overpowering everything else in

the sky with it. The planet is at opposition on

the 28th, when Earth glides between the

planet and the sun. At that time Jupiter will

appear opposite the sun in the sky, rising

around sunset and setting near sunrise. No

need to worry about finding it; if you go out

later than an hour or so after sunset and face

toward the south, it will be obvious.

The full hunter's moon will be a beauty,rising the evening of the 11th, only three

hours before true fullness. This moon gets its

name from the proximity of hunting season,

which follows the fall harvest and the fatten-

ing of deer.

The Great Square of Pegasus reaches its

highest point in the south during the prime

evening viewing hours. Look just below it for

the dimmer but pleasing Circlet of Pisces,

representing one of the fishes in the constel-

lation. The bright star far to the south is

Fomalhaut, the mouth of Piscis Austrinus, the

southern fish.

The Summer Triangle of bright stars still

lingers high in the west after sunset.

Recently, while searching the sky for extra-

solar planets, NASA's Kepler space tele-

scope discovered a Saturn-sized planet orbit-

ing not one but two stars about 200 light-

years from us. The stars circle each other at

a distance of about 20 million miles while the

planet, Kepler 16b, orbits them from a dis-

tance of 65 million miles from the center ofthe system.

Living on such a planet, you would see

two stars one big and orange, the other

small and red rise and set every day and

sometimes even barrel right past each other.

And, of course, you would cast a double

shadow. No wonder Kepler 16b immediately

picked up an unofficial moniker: Tatooine,

after "Star Wars" character Luke Skywalker's

home planet, which also orbited two suns.

HAPPENINGSThe Browerville Blade, Page 2 Thursday, September 29, 2011

The body's largest internal organ is the small intestine at an average length of 20 feet

The human body has enough fat to produce 7 bars of soap.

The human body has over 600 muscles, 40% of the body's weight.

A fetus acquires fingerprints at the age of three months.

A fingernail or toenail takes about 6 months to grow from base to tip.

An average human scalp has 100,000 hairs.

The longest muscle in the human body is the sartorius. This narrow muscle of the thigh passes

obliquely across the front of the thigh and helps rotate the leg to the position assumed in sitting cross-

legged. Its name is a derivation of the adjective "sartorial," a reference to what was the traditional

cross-legged position of tailors (or "sartors") at work.

The brain is soft and gelatinous - its consistency is something between jelly and cooked pasta.

The only bone in the human body not connected to another is the hyoid, a V-shaped bone located at

the base of the tongue between the mandible and the voice box. Its function is to support the tongue

and its muscles.

Three-hundred-million cells die in the human body every minute.

akewood Pregnancy

nd Infant Loss

emembrance Ceremony

October is Pregnancy and Infantoss Awareness Month. Each year,

pproximately one million preg-

ancies in the U.S. end in miscar-

age, stillbirth or the death of the

ewborn child. Lakewood Health

ystem hosts a special ceremony to

cknowledge these painful losses

nd provide comfort to families.

Those who have been touched by

pregnancy or infant loss are invit-

d to a ceremony of dedication and

membrance Monday, October 3,

6:30 p.m. at Lakewoods Main

ampus just east of Staples.

The nondenominational ceremo-

ny will include poems, a time for

reflection and a special candle light

and water service at the Serenity

Sanctuary fountain. Refreshments

will be served and those attending

will receive a special token of

remembrance.

Whether your loss is recent or

was experienced in the past, all

parents, family and friends are

invited to attend. For more infor-

mation contact Nola Varilek at 218-894-8586.

Lakewood to hold

Mammo PartiesThis October, routine breast

health screening will be anything

but routine at Lakewood Health

System.

Lakewood Health System is

offering women a unique way to

make annual mammography

screening less of a chore and more,

well, like a party.

October is National Breast

Cancer Awareness month and

throughout the month Lakewood

will be hosting Mammo Parties.

The parties will vary in terms of

activities, but women who attend

will be treated to things like mas-

sages, paraffin wax dips, prize

drawings, refreshments, and

make-up consultations.

Kris Posner, Lakewood Health

System Breast Health Navigator,

said the importance of early detec-

tion in breast cancer cant be over-

estimated. We know that mam-

mography helps catch breast can-

cer early, when treatment is most

likely to be successful, said Posner.

Treating women to some pamper-

ing as a reward for getting

screened is a small thing to do forpossibly saving a life.

The Mammo Parties will be held

at Lakewoods Main Campus east

of Staples, Tues., Oct. 4, 1 to 5 p.m.,

Thurs., Oct. 13, 1 to 7 p.m., Wed.,

Oct. 19, 1 to 5 p.m., and Mon., Oct.

24, 1 to 7 p.m.

Its a great opportunity for

women to get together with their

daughters, neighbors and friends

and make it an event, said Posner.

They can have fun and do some-

thing positive for themselves at the

same time.

Women who want to schedule a

mammogram during one of the

Mammo Party times should call218-898-PINK (7465).

DNR QUESTIONOF THE WEEK

Q: How does Minnesota decide

the date for the waterfowl opener,

season length and bag limit?

A: The U.S. Fish and WildlifeService, with input from the

states and flyway councils, deter-

mines the annual waterfowl hunt-

ing frameworks, which include

the earliest opening and latest

closing dates, maximum season

length, and duck bag limits. For

the regular duck season, these

guidelines are the same for all

states in the Mississippi Flyway,

including Minnesota. States have

the option to be more restrictive

than the Federal frameworks.

States in the Mississippi

Flyway can set their regular

waterfowl seasons anytime

between the Saturday nearestSept. 24 through the last Sunday

in January. However from 2005-

2010, state law prevented

Minnesota from opening water-

fowl season earlier than the

Saturday nearest Oct. 1.

In July, that law was changed

to allow Minnesota to use the ear-

lier opening date allowed in other

states in the Flyway.

Currently, there are three dif-

ferent regulatory packages used

for season lengths and bag limits

in the Mississippi Flyway. These

include: liberal (60 days, six

duck bag, four mallards), moder-

ate (45 days, six duck bag, four

mallards) and restrictive (30

days, three duck bag, two mal-

lards) seasons.

Each year, the package selected

is determined based on the conti-

nental status of breeding mal-

lards and habitat conditions. In

addition, there are other regula-

tions, such as one bird bag limits

or closed seasons, used for certain

species like pintails, canvasbacks,

or scaup. These are determined

based on their breeding popula-

tion size and expected harvest.

The DNR considers all these

options, along with the both the

status of our local breeding duck

populations and public input from

waterfowl hunters, before

announcing waterfowl hunting

regulations each fall.

Who can say no when the

randsons call and want to

pend Saturday night with

Grandpa and Nanna? Whatever

we had planned can be put on

old and we will do whatever

hey want. It doesnt hurt a

hing that their interests are

he same as ours. They like to

sh, hunt, watch birds, and

walk in the woods. When they

ome over, our plans usuallyhange from my wife and I

oing to check the trail cameras

nd getting in a couple hours of

shing to all four of us checking

he trail cameras and fishing for

ix or eight hours. We love to

sh but the boys can fish until

we drop.

Their dad dropped them off

aturday afternoon and I was-

t a bit surprised when the first

words after Hi were, Want to

o fishing? Who wouldnt want

o go fishing? The weather was

ool and windy with a light rain

alling. Zane and Nanna

jumped in the paddle boat and

were off. Trevor helped me rig

two bank lines for catfish before

we powered up the Jon boat and

headed into the waves.

The two in the paddle boat

seemed to be spending most of

their time fishing near the

shore. It may have had some-

thing to do with two people pad-

dling fiercely into the wind and

making no forward progress.

The Jon boat, powered by a

trolling motor, was able to do

somewhat better. We were able

to traverse the lake into the

wind, as long as we were in no

particular hurry. To my sur-

prise, the fish were biting. We

caught several nice crappies

and bass. The duo in the paddle

boat were catching bass and

bluegill.

The dark cloudy sky became

much darker before I realized

the sun must have set behind

the clouds long ago. We headed

for shore and signaled the oth-

ers to do the same. I was glad

we had agreed not to keep any

fish, except catfish, before we

started. I was wet and cold; the

thought of cleaning fish at this

time of night was not appealing.

We checked the bank poles, and

sure enough, we had a catfish. I

found a bucket, filled it with

water, and put him in it while

Trevor put fresh bait on our

hooks. Our fish would be fine in

a bucket until morning.

Some Sunday mornings

dawn slowly at the Scott house-

hold. My wife and I have been

known to sleep in, drink coffee

on the porch, and take time to

plan our day. If the boys are

here, it is not one of those slow

moving Sundays. We had to

check the bank lines as soon as

it was light outside. After a

quick bowl of cereal, the boys

and I were off to the lake. We

had another catfish on so plans

were made for lunch. We could

catch a few crappies and cook

them up with the catfish. The

three of us went out in the Jon

boat for a couple hours, just to

make sure we had enough eat.

Around 10:00, Nanna called us

in for breakfast. Since we hadnt

eaten for three hours, we were

ready for waffles, eggs, sausage,

and juice. The boys ate every-

thing in sight and were all set to

catch more fish.

After the second breakfast,

fishing was much slower. We

caught a few crappies to add to

our buckets, but began to think

we should have started saving

fish earlier. The skies opened up

and poured down rain, calling a

halt to the fishing marathon. By

the time the rain let up so I

could go out and clean the fish,

the boys had to go home. Nanna

and I had to eat the rewards of

our efforts by ourselves.

The boys havent asked me

yet what happened to the fish

we caught, so I havent had to

explain that when it comes to

eating fish, even grandparents

cant be trusted.

By Walter Scott

You cant trust anyone

Dear friends,

First things first--Aarons allergies are much better--thank you very

much! And he reported moderate success with this weekends duck hunt-

ing venture, but had duck on the grill and said it was really good. He took

his new pup along and Ben was so exhausted when he got home he only

got half way into his kennel before collapsing and going to sleep. Dog has

to learn to pace himself!Now, for the news of the knee--I am no better. I had an MRI

Wednesday, Sept. 21, but as of today, Monday, havent heard back yet. I

plan to call them tomorrow if I dont hear by the end of today--enough

already--the pain meds are good, but Im not sure if they really help the

pain or just make me not care that I am in pain. Whatever. However, as

I spend most of my time at home on the couch with a pillow under my leg

to keep my knee at just the right angle for minimal pain, the house, laun-

dry and cooking have been suffering. I can manage to gimp my way out

to the kitchen to cook some (of course I make food my first priority), but

traversing the basement steps is a real difficulty and Sonny has been

fantastic about helping with doing that running. He has even done some

laundry for me, and is doing ok. It is just one of those areas where I find

it hard to believe anyone can do it as well as I can. (Laundry control freak

that I am. Dont even get me started on how things should hang on the

clothesline. There is a correct way you know.)

This past weekend Sonnys son, Adam got married. Adam and Ashley

had a beautiful day and the wedding was very nice and pretty. My daugh-ter, Stacey, did the photography (not my favorite part, as I loathe getting

my picture taken), but there are some very nice and some really cute

shots. The entire wedding party seemed to have a fun time with the

photo shoot, in fact at one point the brides sister (bridesmaid) got the

giggles and we all had to take a moment and let her calm herself.

The reception and supper were fun, but didnt go off without a hitch.

The kids were all waving glo-sticks around, and David, our four year old

grandson, bit his and got some of the liquid in his mouth. It tasted hor-

rible and he thought he was going to throw up, so I rushed him (as fast

as my gimpy knee would take me) to the bathroom. He was crying and

wanted his daddy. Later as he sat on his mommys lap he asked,

Mommy, am I going to die? Poor little tyke--none of us had any idea he

was afraid he had been poisoned. As soon as she assured him that he

wouldnt die, he said he felt good enough to have a piece of wedding cake.

That was more like the David we all know.

Best go now,

Peggy

A letter from

the country

Statement from Veterans Affairs Secretary

Eric K. Shinseki on the American Jobs Act Yesterday, the President sent the American Jobs Act http://www.white-

house.gov/sites/default/files/omb/legislative/reports/american-jobs-act.pdf to

Congress for consideration. With the American Jobs Act, the President is again

demonstrating unwavering support of Veterans and of business by putting for-

ward an aggressive plan that will help create new jobs for Veterans and boost

the American economy.By providing tax credits from $5,600 to $9,600 to encourage businesses to hire

unemployed Veterans, the American Jobs Act not only helps put more Veterans

back to work, it sends a message that a grateful Nation honors their service and

sacrifice. Congress should pass this bill as soon as possible.

As the President said in his address to Congress and the Nation, 'We ask

these men and women to leave their careers, leave their families, and risk their

lives to fight for our country. The last thing they should have to do is fight for a

job when they come home.' We at VAcould not agree more.

Under the President's leadership, VA will continue to prepare the next gen-

eration of leaders by administering the new Post-9/11 GI Bill to over 558,000

Veterans and family members. In October, thanks to strong leadership from the

President and Congress, VA will expand that GI Bill program to provide voca-

tional training and other non-degree job skills for Veterans -- a tremendous

opportunity to create more good-paying jobs for Veterans in a matter of months.

The President also challenged the private sector to hire or train 100,000

unemployed Veterans or their spouses by the end of 2013. We at VA already

employ over 100,000 Veterans, about 30 percent of our workforce. Our goal is toup that to 40 percent. VAjoins the President in challenging the private sector to

join us in this important effort to support Veterans."

Come little leaves, said the wind one day,

Come oer the meadows with me and play

Put on your dresses of red and gold;

Summer is gone, and the days grow cold.

Soon as the leaves heard the winds loud call

Down they came fluttering, one and all;

Over the brown fields they danced and flew,

Singing the glad little songs they knew.

Dancing and

whirling, the little

leaves went;

Winter had called

them,

and they were

content.

Soon fast asleep in their earthy beds

The snow laid a coverlet over their heads.

Tiger School News

Thunder rumbles over the TigersBy Coach Irsfeld

On Tuesday the Browerville Tigers hosted the Long

Prairie-Grey Eagle Thunder. The Thunder joined the

Prairie Conference this season. The Tigers were

defeated 0-3 (14-25, 15-25, 12-25).

Long Prairie played well. Their consistent passing

was key to an aggressive attack. The Thunder had a

lot of weapons and they used them strategically. It

was a rough night for the Tigers. Out of 83 attacking

attempts there were 15 attacking errors and only 11

kills. Along with that, there were 79 set attempts with

6 errors and only 9 assists. There were 40 serving

attempts with 7 errors and only 2 serving aces. The

team had 50 digs with 21 receiving errors. There were

10 blocking errors with only 6 blocks total on the

night. There were no individual highlighted stats. Our

goal in practice this week has been focus and consis-

tency. We need players to step up and be athletes.

The Tigers traveled to Sebeka Monday and will go

to Barrett Thursday. Play hard Tigers!

Tigers trounce KnightsBy Coach Petermeier

Browerville 14 - 20- 7 - 0 = 41

West Central Area 0 - 6 - 0 - 0 = 6

The Browerville Tigers traveled to Barrett to take on the Knights of

WCA.

First, the night started off with a lot of fanfare. WCA put on a beau-

tiful show for our Veterans with a large flag on the field and a hot air

balloon taking off from the field with a flag. It really gave you the chills

as the balloon was taking off, truly a sight to see.

The Tigers got the ball first and went 67 yards to score on their

first drive. Our defense caused a fumble on the first play from scrim-

mage from the Knights and scored three plays later. The defense

then had a three and out, got the punt and ran out the rest of the first

quarter.

We scored again on the first play of the second quarter. The

Knights then put together a nice drive to get a score themselves as

they converted on 7 of 12 passes in the quarter. The Tigers cameback and scored again to make the score 34 - 6. The knights put

another scare into the Tigers as we didnt tackle very well for two

plays and they got down to the 10 yard line before Trenton

Wollenburg intercepted a pass at the five yard line and time ran out.

To open the second half Browerville stopped the Knights and got

the ball back. Mitch Heid scampered 46 yards on the first play from

scrimmage in the third quarter. Another stop by the Tigers on defense

resulted in both teams beginning to sub down and that is how the

game ended as both teams subbed down freely.

Our defense played really well in the first half as they only allowed

two yards rushing. I was worried about the running ability of WCA's

quarterback so we played a more "contain" the edge, rush the quar-

terback defense. This put a lot of pressure on our DB's to cover a long

time. We didn't do much of a pass rush and gave the QB a lot of time

to throw. We changed this up at half time and decided to bring more

pressure the second half and it helped as the Knights completed two

passes the second half for 19 yards. Over all we gave up 87 yardspassing (68 in the second quarter) and 25 yards rushing.

On offense we had 70 passing yards as Kyle Petermeier had a

good night catching three passes for 62 yards. Ben Dreher rushed 12

times for 92 yards, Mitch Heid rushed 10 times for 83 yards, Trenton

Wollenburg rushed 6 times for 27 yards, Kyle Petermeier rushed 4

times for 15 yards, Mackenzie Asmus rushed 5 times for 31 yards,

Eliezer Vigil rushed 4 times for 8 yards, Adam Sutlief rushed 3 times

for 13 yards, Benton Johnson rushed 1 time for 6 yards, and Jackson

Polak rushed 3 times for 9 yards.

Last Friday the Browerville Tigers football team

faced the OTC Bulldogs in their first conference game.

The OTC came in with a lot of momentum, already

winning their first two games. Browerville came into

the game 1-1, winning their last game against the

USA Patriots.

There were a lot of great stops at the line.

Offensively the Tigers had over 300 yards rushing.

The offensive line did a great job holding their blocks

and working hard. We are all so very proud of the

boys! The half time score was 27-0, and as the game

continued to play out, the Tigers kept the score ahead.

The Tigers played a solid defensive game, only giving

up 7 points in the fourth quarter.

We believe the boys played a great game, and were

really fired up during the whole game. We would

have to say it was the best game played this season (so

far.) G

Great job boys, keep it up!!

Dont give up at half-time. Concentrate on

winning the second half.Paul Bear Bryant

Tigers vs. WCA

On Friday, the Tigers traveled to Barrett to fight

the Knights in their homecoming game.

We arrived in Barrett to see a hot air-balloon being

blown up and tons of people! There were a lot of peo-

ple from Browerville there to cheer the Tigers on. The

Knights arena was filled with lots of fun items such

as; Mini golf, pork chops on a stick, taco in a bag and

tons more!

The Tigers are still missing Seth Kellen as theirquarterback, but he has been a good sport all along

and should be back for the next game when we play

Royalton.

We really played this game well, giving up only one

touchdown.The knights looked to be playing a great

game as well. The score ended up being 41-6 making

it the boy's third win! Congratulations!

Thank you fans for coming and cheering on the

team, they really do enjoy it!

Last Tuesday we played the LP-GE Thunder. It

was also Parents Night and it was nice to see all the

parents come and cheer on their daughters.

The Thunder was a great team, and even though

the Tigers tried to the best of their ability, the

Thunder still won. Through out the whole night we

could see the girls tried their very hardest to win. The

Thunder had many great set ups. Their ability to pass

the ball up and then slam it down was tough competi-

tion for the Tigers. The Browerville girls were not get-

ting the spikes and blocks they needed to stay in the

game. The Tigers are usually a better team then the

Thunder saw that night.

Monday the Lady Tigers will face Sebeka/ Coach

Irsfeld stated earlier this season that they will be one

of the girls top competitors, but if the girls play hard

they should come out with a W.

Good Luck Lady Tigers!!

Floating classroom surpasses 50,000mark today for number of students

served

IG RIVER JOURNEY FIELD

RIPS INTRODUCE KIDS TO

ISSISSIPPI RIVER

Student number 50,000 board-

d a riverboat today for a Big

iver Journey to learn about

he science and heritage of the

ississippi River and its water-

hed, and to help build a strong

undation for river stewardship.

During todays field trips, stu-

ents from Hiawathaommunity School in

inneapolis and Diamond Path

lementary School in Apple

alley took an educational cruise

board the Anson Northrup on

he Mississippi River between

arriet Island and Fort Snelling

tate Park. They enjoyed science

arning stations along the way,

oth onboard and on land.

Todays trips were the first of

0 that will serve approximately

400 students between now and

he end of the school year in

une.

Students used binoculars and

icroscopes to explore the natu-al life of the river, from bugs to

rds. They examined rocks to

nderstand how a waterfall once

reater than Niagara Falls

arved the river valley and set

he stage for the Twin Cities to

be located where it is.

They visited the pilot house to

learn what it takes to be a river-

boat pilot, and they learned

about water pollution and how to

prevent it. At the historic river-

boat landing that once served

Historic Fort Snelling, they con-

tinued their explorations with

naturalists from the park and a

costumed soldier from the fort.

Initiated 15 years ago and ledby the National Park Services

Mississippi National River and

Recreation Area (MNRRA), Big

River Journey is a partnership

with eight other groups.

Co-founders of the program

include the Padelford Packet

Boat Co., the Minnesota

Department of Natural

Resources and the Science

Museum of Minnesota.

Additional partners include the

Minnesota Historical Society, the

Center for Global Environmental

Education, the Friends of the

Mississippi River, the Saint Paul

public schools and theMississippi River Fund. Some

partners support classroom

activity components, while oth-

ers assist on the field trips.

The Big River Journey field

trip is just the beginning for

many of the students, whose

average involvement with the

river subject matter extends six

weeks or more. Back in the

classroom, students write, read

and create art for the Big River

Art Contest, with winning art

displayed at the Science

Museum, said Paul Labovitz,

MNRRA superintendent. They

continue their science explo-

rations but usually with moreinterest, having found it to be

relevant and fun through Big

River Journey.

One of 394 units in the

National Park System, the

Mississippi National River and

Recreation Area extends south

from the cities of Dayton and

Ramsey, through Minneapolis

and St. Paul, to just south of

Hastings.

The National Park Service

works with partners and local

governments to care for the

rivers nationally significant

resources along that entire 72-

mile stretch including naturaland historic sites, as well as

recreational and economic

assets. For further information

Zebra mussels found in Brophy and Cowdry

akes near Alexandria

Brophy and Cowdry are part of a

mall chain of lakes less than a

ile upstream of Lake Darling and

e Alexandria chain of lakes,

hich were confirmed to have

bra mussels in June 2009. A local

omeowner found several zebra

mussels attached to rocks in

Brophy, near his property, and

reported it to the DNR. The DNR

surveyed Brophy and downstream

in Cowdry and found young zebramussels in both lakes.

It is very disappointing that

zebra mussels found their way into

this small chain of lakes, said

Nathan Olson, DNR invasive

species specialist in Fergus Falls.

Everyone needs to take extra pre-

cautions not to transport these

pests to other waters in the area.

In response to this new infesta-

tion, the DNR will:

Designate the chain of lakes

including Brophy, Union, Stoney,

Taylor and Cowdry as infested

waters. This designation prohibits

the transport of water and also pro-

hibits the harvest of bait

Place new signs at public

water accesses on Brophy Lake andLake Cowdry to indicate the pres-

ence of zebra mussels

Increase enforcement and

watercraft inspections efforts

Inform residents and business

of how they can help prevent the

spread of the invasives.

Additional surveys are planned.

Also, it is not known how wide-

spread zebra mussels are in the

other connected lakes. The young

age of the zebra mussels suggests

that a reproducing population like-

ly has been in Brophy and Cowdry

lakes for at least a year.

Prior to this discovery of zebra

mussels, the DNR worked with the

Douglas County Lakes Association

and others in the Alexandria area

to inspect boats and educate lake

users. The efforts were aimed at

involving the public in helping pre-

vent the further spread of invasive

species into other Alexandria area

lakes.

A nonnative invasive species,

zebra mussels pose serious ecologi-

cal and economic threats to

Minnesotas lakes and streams.

Heavy infestations can kill native

mussels, impact fish populations,

interfere with recreation, and

increase costs for industry, includ-

ing power and water supply facili-

ties. Native to Eastern Europe and

Western Russia, zebra mussels

were first discovered in Minnesota

in 1989 in the Duluth harbor.

Boaters are required by law to:

Remove aquatic plants and

zebra mussels from boats and trail-

ers

Drain all water, including

pulling the drain plug, opening

water draining devices, and drain-

ing bilges and live wells. The drain

plug has to be removed or open

when transporting your boat

Drain bait buckets when exit-

ing lakes. Anglers can keep unused

bait when leaving infested waters

if they replace the lake water with

tap or spring water.

The DNR also recommends peo-

ple spray or rinse boats with high-

pressure and/or hot water, or let

them dry thoroughly for five days,

before transporting to another

body of water.

The DNR has recently begun

accelerating its efforts to prevent

the spread of zebra mussels and

other aquatic invasive species,

including launching new inspec-

tion and decontamination proce-

dures at several large lakes with

zebra mussel infestations and high

boat traffic.

The DNR website has additional

information on aquatic invasive

species www.dnr.state.mn.us/inva-

sives/index.html.

DNR seeks input on plan toconsolidate wild turkey permit

areas

Through Oct. 10, turkey hunters are being asked to provide input

on the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) proposal

to consolidate the states 77 spring turkey permit areas into nine

larger areas.

Our turkey populations are doing exceptionally well and we no

longer have a need to manage turkey on such a small scale, said Bill

Penning, farmland wildlife program leader. These changes will pro-

vide additional flexibility and opportunity to hunters.

The changes will allow increased hunting access afforded by larg-

er permit areas and will greatly simplify administration and popula-tion management. Permit numbers available to hunters are not

affected by this proposal. The number of permits available in the new

larger permit areas will essentially be the sum of all the permits from

the original, smaller permit areas.

The Whitewater, Carlos Avery and Mille Lacs wildlife manage-

ment areas would remain as separate turkey permit areas.

Hunter comments will be taken online only through Monday, Oct.

10, at mndnr.gov/hunting/turkey. A map of the proposed turkey per-

mit areas and a feedback form are available online. Additional com-

ments can be emailed to [email protected].

Public input will be reviewed and considered in October. A decision

on the spring turkey season will be made in early November.

TURKEY HISTORY

The wild turkey was extinct in Minnesota from about 1900. Until

the late 1960s, various failed attempts were made to reintroduce

turkeys using game farm stock. In 1971, wild turkeys trapped from

Missouri were introduced into the Whitewater Wildlife ManagementArea in Winona County.

The reintroduction was successful, and formed the basis of

Minnesota's current turkey population. The DNR, with considerable

financial assistance from the National Wild Turkey Federation,

trapped and relocated more than 5,250 wild turkeys to suitable habi-

tat throughout the state from the late 1970s through the 2000s.

These efforts have been incredibly successful, and today the wild

turkey population thrives throughout the non-boreal forest portion of

the state.

During the growth years, it was imperative to tightly regulate

hunting on a small geographical basis to ensure that populations

could rapidly expand into new areas. Today this level of regulation is

no longer necessary
