    y Tarissa Host

    The state of Minnesota is teetering on

    he edge of a potential government shut-

    own. What will happen if the state gov-

    rnment shuts down?

    Many of you may recall the Minnesota

    artial shutdown in 2005. After the shut-

    own counties were reimbursed for expen-

    itures during the nine day shutdown.

    his year counties doubt they will receive

    he same help.

    At a recent Minnesota Counties district

    meeting, commissioner Randy Neumann,

    long with commissioner Gerry Ruda,

    ommented it was unlikely there would be

    any reimbursement. The state and feder-

    al government are broke. We cant spend

    our reserves down to support state pro-

    grams, said Neumann.

    Ruda commented, in reference to the

    Association of Minnesota Counties meet-ing when counties were notified they

    shouldnt expect state reimbursement, I

    get very, very frustrated with having to

    pick up the pieces of a system thats bro-

    ken in St. Paul.

    WHAT DOES THIS MEAN TO

    BROWERVILLE CITIZENS?

    How would a government shutdown

    effect the city of Browerville? Nobody

    knows for certain what will happen, but

    the city is well prepared for all possible

    outcomes. There are many ifs in this

    kinds of situation.

    One of the biggest things that will be

    affected is the local government aid or the

    LGA. The LGA helps keep taxes down in

    the city and organizes state money to beset aside.

    Each year the city receives $206,600 in

    LGA which is received in halves, one pay-

    ment in December, and one in July. If the

    government does not sort out this budget

    deal before July 1st, the July LGA pay-

    ment may be delayed. If the July payment

    of $103,300, which funds public works

    such as cleaning streets and mowing the

    grass, is delayed the city may have to bor-

    row internally from one fund to another.

    The city is well prepared if the gov-

    ernment officials do not sort things outand a shutdown occurs. We will be okay. It

    creates more of an annoyance then any-

    thing, said Lynn Fabro, the Browerville

    City Administrator. I believe that the

    possible shutdown would affect individual

    residents interactions more then it would

    the city.

    Browerville would also be effected in

    smaller ways, such as licensing certain

    businesses. It would also be effected if

    something goes wrong, or problems arise

    without warning, but that would effect

    any community. Another way a govern-

    ment shutdown would effect the city is if

    payroll taxes reporting is shut down with-

    out notification.

    How would a government shutdowneffect Browerville Schools? Being asked

    this question, Bob Schaefer, superintend-

    ent of the Browerville Public School, stat-

    ed, At this point and time, we cannot tell

    for certain what effect a government shut-

    down would have on our school. We need

    to wait until we have more information to

    determine how it will affect us.

    However, a government shutdown

    would affect the school. Patrick Sutief,

    Dean of Students, commented A govern-

    ment shutdown shouldnt impact the

    school in any harmful way. A shutdownwould only effect the school slightly.

    The biggest problem that could occur

    from a shutdown would be delay of con-

    tact with the Department of Education.

    Another problem would be teaching

    license renewal if teachers need to renew

    their license during a shutdown. The

    shutdown would also effect former stu-

    dents seeking financial aid for college

    because they plan on reducing or shutting

    down the programs.

    In preparation for a possible shutdown

    the school moved the grad retesting from

    July 5th through 13th to June 27th

    through 30th. As for the school, the office

    will stay open and school will begin at the

    same time in the fall.Paula Becker, Principal of Christ the

    King School, said We are praying the

    government sorts this out before the

    upcoming school year. Although Christ

    the King school is funded through the

    A community newspaper serving Browerville, MN and surrounding areas. USPS 067-560

    By Tim King

    Todd County Commissioners

    took the first step in combining the

    offices of the Assessor, Recorder,

    and Auditor Treasurer at their

    Tuesday June 21 meeting. The

    decision to combine the three

    offices was made largely because

    the Assessors and Recorders

    offices have had a growing short-

    age of employees in recent months.Both the County Assessor and

    the County Recorder told commis-

    sioners their departments were so

    understaffed that accuracy in doc-

    ument preparation and customer

    service were suffering. County

    Assessor Chuck Pelzer told com-

    missioners he was so short of staff

    he had to briefly close the offices

    customer window recently.

    Earlier in the year, commission-

    ers asked the three offices to work

    together to attempt to solve some

    of the problems caused by staff

    shortages. County Administrator

    Nathan Burkett said he was

    impressed by the teamworkbetween the three departments.

    He said, however, that further

    action should be taken.

    As part of the solution, Burkett

    recommended hiring an employee

    called a generalist. The generalist,

    a new position, would be trained to

    serve the public in all three depart-

    ments. Commissioners agreed to

    hire a generalist as soon as possi-

    ble. There is currently money in

    the departmental budgets to hire a

    generalist.

    Burkett also recommended the

    three departments begin prepar-

    ing proposals to combine their

    offices. The new combined depart-

    ment will likely be called PropertyRecords and Taxpayer Service.

    MOBILE HOME TAXES

    Commissioners agreed to accept

    the Auditor-Treasurers recommen-

    dation to cancel $3,724.89 in

    mobile home taxes. County

    Auditor-Treasurer Karen Bush

    made the recommendation

    because the taxes appear to be

    uncollectable. She said people who

    owed the taxes were either not in

    the area any more, had sold the

    mobile home, or were dead.

    Commissioner David Kircher

    voted against the resolution to can-

    cel the taxes.

    EMPLOYEE SETTLEMENTand TERMINATION

    Commissioners voted to accept

    a settlement between Todd County

    and Mark Vigil. Vigil has worked

    as a Jailer for Todd County since

    County beginscombining offices

    DNR QUESTION

    OF THE WEEKQ: A number of bird species

    call Minnesota home or pass

    through every fall and spring.

    Where can a person go to watch

    these birds in action?

    A: More than 437 species o

    birds have been documented in

    Minnesota. Of those, more than

    300 are either resident or

    migrant birds that are expected

    to be seen annually in appropri-

    ate habitat.

    Based on the 2006 National

    Survey of Fishing, Hunting and

    Wildlife Associated Recreation,

    Minnesota is ranked 13 out of 50

    states in the total number of peo-ple participating in bird and

    wildlife watching. Based on pop-

    ulation, the state is ranked

    fourth tied with Iowa and

    Wyoming.

    Bird watching can be done

    nearly anywhere, but some great

    places include Blue Mounds

    State Park in the southwest,

    Agassiz National Wildlife Refuge

    in the northwest, Sax-Zim Bog

    (St. Louis County) in the north-

    east and Frontenac State Park in

    the southeast.

    With the help of famed

    ornithologist Bob Janssen, Jerry

    Bonkoski and others, theMinnesota Department o

    Natural Resources conducted

    inventories of birds in most state

    parks and state recreation areas

    in the early 2,000s. These bird

    checklists, currently available

    for 70 Minnesota state parks and

    state recreation areas, can be

    picked up at park offices or

    downloaded from the DNRs web-

    site at

    www.mndnr.gov/state_parks/bir

    dchecklists.html.

    Enhanced drivers

    licenses and ID cardsThe Minnesota Department of

    Public Safety is proposing amend-

    ments to Minnesota Rule 7410,

    which governs driver information,

    licensing and testing.

    Legislation passed in 2010 gave

    Minnesotans the option to obtain

    enhanced drivers licenses (EDL)

    and enhanced identification (EID)

    cards. The amended rules will

    establish requirements for obtain-ing an EDL or an EID.

    Enhanced drivers licenses and

    identification cards serve as identi-

    ty and citizenship documents at

    certain land and sea border cross-

    ings. U.S. citizens can use an EDL

    or EID at land and sea crossings in

    lieu of a passport when reentering

    the United States from Canada,

    Mexico and some countries in the

    Caribbean.

    The Department of Public

    Safety Driver and Vehicle Services

    Division (DVS) invites public com-

    ment on this rulemaking. A

    Request for Comments published

    in the June 27 edition of the StateRegister can be reviewed on the

    State Register website at

    There are 30 places nationwide with "liberty" in their name. The most populous one is

    Liberty, Missouri (26,232). Iowa has more of these places than any other state: four

    (Libertyville, New Liberty, North Liberty and West Liberty).

    Eleven places have "independence" in their name. The most populous of these is

    Independence, Missouri, with 113,288 residents.

    Five places adopted the name "freedom." Freedom, California, with 6,000 residents, has the largest popu-lation among these.

    There is one place named "patriot" Patriot, Indiana, with a population of 202.

    And what could be more fitting than spending the day in a place called "America"? There are five such

    places in the country, with the most populous being American Fork, Utah, with 21,941 residents.

    Benjamin Franklin, John Adams & Thomas Jefferson served on the committee that picked the eagle for

    the national seal (Franklin wanted the turkey.) Bald eagles have few natural enemies & live only in North

    America. Bald eagles get their white head & tail feathers about 4-5 years of age. The only other kind of eagle

    in North America is the golden eagle. Bald eagles mate for life, but if one dies, the survivor will accept a new

    mate. It is a felony to shoot an eagle.

    Its not that I havent enjoyed

    amping. I take that back. I

    njoyed camping for the first

    ay or two, but three weeks is

    oo long to live in a camper no

    matter how much a person

    njoys camping. Saturday, we

    made the big move to the new

    ouse. There are many benefits,

    ven though its not completed,

    ot the least of which is sleeping

    n my own bed. Not being restedor several weeks begins to wear

    n a person. Sunday morning,

    we woke up bright and early,

    nd refreshed.

    My wife and I each grabbed a

    up of coffee and headed for the

    orch. The porch has a view of

    ome of natures finest work.

    Mist was still hanging on the

    ake below. The intense green of

    he rolling hills of grass and

    rees stretched out in the quiet

    istance. The only sounds were

    irds singing and the cluck of a

    en turkey calling her chicks

    ust over the first hill from the

    ouse.

    As we sat enjoying the sights

    and sounds of nature around us,

    a doe with twin fawns walked

    across the hill to our left.

    Another doe, with a single fawn,

    came out of the timber and went

    down to the spillway below the

    dam to get a drink. During our

    second cup of coffee, two young

    bucks came out to play on the

    face of the dam. Two geese took

    off from somewhere in the far

    reaches of the lake, honking

    boisterously as the flew across

    the water, past the house, and

    off to some distant feeding

    ground.

    A pair of bluebirds made fre-

    quent trips from the lawn to

    their nearby house, feeding

    their young and hummingbirds

    flew from the nearby oak tree to

    the nectar feeders my wife had

    put out for them. We had lived

    in the new house for twelve

    hours or less and already felt

    like we were home.

    Im sure its going to be an

    interesting experience. The

    house is far from the road on the

    edge of the timber. Well be liv-

    ing with wildlife at its best, as

    we experienced on our first

    morning. Im sure well also

    have wildlife experiences that

    wont be so pleasant. With

    nature, a person has to take the

    good with the bad. In the past,

    weve had several experiences

    in this immediate area.

    There was the time the dog

    caught two skunks in one day.

    He wasnt a fast learner. Being

    sprayed by one skunk should

    convince anyone with any sense

    not to tackle a second. The

    worst part was, I had to give

    him a ride home.

    I parked my tractor near this

    spot for a couple of weeks sever-

    al years ago during the fall.

    When I went back to get it, it

    wouldnt start. On close inspec-

    tion, I found the air cleaner

    completely packed with hickory

    nuts. Some chipmunk was hop-

    ing Id leave the tractor there for

    the winter.

    Possibly the worst encounter

    I had with nature at this spot

    was the year I was bow hunting

    late in the January season. Id

    been chasing one particular

    giant old buck since October. I

    knew if I hunted long and hard

    enough, I would eventually get

    a shot. It was mid-afternoon

    and I was hunkered against the

    cold north wind while making

    my way to my evening tree

    stand. The grass was short and

    the wind polished the snow as I

    crossed the very spot where the

    house is now located. When I

    topped the hill, not twenty feet

    away stood my buck. There was-

    nt even a tall blade of grass to

    hide behind. He couldnt wind

    me, but if I moved, Id be busted.

    I stood motionless for a few sec-

    onds and finally decided to

    make a quick draw. He spun

    around and was into the timber

    before I could get the arrow fully

    drawn.

    The big move has been made.

    Well take the best and worst

    nature has to offer and Im sure

    therell be much more good than

    bad.

    Dear friends,

    Well, I believe another successful Browerville Days has come to an

    end. The weather, rain, broke for the weekend, and it seemed that every-

    one had a good time. I have not heard any numbers at this time, but I

    believe there was a good crowd of people for the activities on Friday after-

    noon, Saturday and Sunday.

    Its always nice to visit with several of our subscribers that often dont

    make it to Browerville other than for this weekend. Some of them may

    contact us from time to time, but its always fun to put a face with the

    name.

    Again, thank you to everyone that volunteered their time to make this

    years celebration successful.

    On a little bit of a sad note, for our family anyway, we found out last

    week that our nine year old chocolate lab, Perro, has cancer. For many

    people, their pets are an extension of their family, and ours is no differ-

    ent. Perro has been with us for many years, and has been a great com-

    panion, for chasing pheasants around, fishing, or just hanging out. For

    now we are making him as comfortable in his last few weeks as possible,

    and giving him tons of attention.

    Last Thursday Nicholas and I went to Saginaw, MN, to look at some new

    lab pups. I had forgotten how little and

    cute they are. Our new addition to the

    family, Benjamin (Ben), will be ready

    to come home July 5th, and we are

    really excited. Of course, its been years

    since Ive had to train a pup, and I

    know there will be several months of

    trying to be patient while the new guy

    figures out his place in the family.

    Hopefully the sun holds for a few

    days as I would really like to get out

    and do a little fishing. So far, for me

    anyway, its been a pretty slow year on

    the lake.

    Well, I am going to keep this real

    short this week as I still have lots of

    pictures from the busy weekend to go

    through and we need to get the paper

    done.

    I will write again later.

    DNR Question

    of the WeekQ: It's that time of year when turtles are

    trying to cross the road. Why? Is there any-

    thing we can do to help them cross safely?

    A: The turtles we see crossing roads are typ-

    ically painted and snapping turtles. Both

    species spend most of their time in lakes,

    ponds and wetlands, but lay their eggs in

    nests dug in dry, sandy and warm soils. Since

    many roads are built skirting water bodies,

    our roads often separate a turtle's home fromits nesting area. If the turtle can find the right

    type of soil near their home water body, theyll

    use it. However, they may often travel great

    distances to find a suitable nesting spot. And

    so, a turtle may have to cross the road to get to

    the other side to lay its eggs. If you see a tur-

    tle crossing the road, you can help it cross

    safely. Watch for traffic. Pick up the turtle by

    the back of its shell never pick up a turtle by

    its tail and move the turtle in the direction it

    is heading. The painted and snapping turtles

    laid their clutch of eggs in June.

    Should the eggs survive predation, they are

    expected to hatch in late August, which means

    therell be even more turtles quarter-sized

    hatchlings crossing the road again, trying to

    get home.-- Richard Baker, DNR zoologist

    Letter to the Editor

    Small town newspapersare a good thing

    To the editor:

    I want to thank Blade Publishing and

    Rin Porter for the wonderful story she

    wrote on the Clarissa (St.Anthony) brick-

    yard (June 9, 2011). She made it interest-

    ing, informative and nostalgic. As kids we

    played in the yards and told ghost sto-

    ries about the old bunkhouse, but even

    with an ancestor research done a fewyears ago Rin found out more than we

    ever knew. It is such a good thing to still

    have newspapers and reporters that can

    celebrate the history of their community.

    Thank you again.
