At the Sept. 17 county board
meeting, Todd County
ommissioners discussed and
pproved the 2014 budget they
ave been working on for several
months, and the preliminary
013 pay 2014 property tax levy.
tate law requires counties and
ther municipalities to approve
reliminary levy amounts by
mid-September each year. Final
mounts will be approved by
ec. 31.
The 2014 county budget
pproved by the board includes
26,541,549 in revenues, and
27,533,693 in expenses. The
hortfall in revenues is projected
o be $992,144.
The preliminary certified levy
pproved by the board is the
mount set by the Minnesota
epartment of Revenue for Todd
ounty: $13,272,090. This amount
just $138,570 more than the
012 pay 2013 levy approved last
ear.
Auditor/Treasurer Karen Busch
dvised the board that a special
evy one to be imposed outside
he normal limits was available
to the county this year, because the
Minnesota Legislature in 2013
placed a levy limit on municipali-
ties. She said that all special levy
claims must be pre-approved by
the Minnesota Department of
Revenue, but that Todd Countys
chances of getting approval were
good.
The reason Todd County
would like to impose a special
levy is because the levy limit cre-
ated by the Legislature does not
allow Todd County to raise its
regular property tax levy enough
to cover all its expected expenses
in 2014.
If the special levy is approved,
it would be for the amount of
$647,900 the amount of bonded
indebtedness due to be paid by
the county in 2014. If this
amount were paid by the special
levy, then it could be removed
from the regular county budg-
et, and would reduce the budget
by that amount, thus reducing
the amount by which county
expenses exceed county rev-
enues.
Also at the board meeting,
commissioners heard from Earl
Fuechtmann of Contegrity
Group Inc., construction man-
agers on the countys Annex I
and Annex II remodeling project.
Fuechtmann reported that he
expected few if any additional
surprises as the project nears its
completion. He said electrical
work to replace several panels
will be done at night, so as not to
disturb county business. He said
Johnson Controls is behind
schedule on getting the boilers
going in the jail, but he will be
taking more aggressive action
toward them to get them to com-
ply.
Fuechtmann said he expects
furniture can be moved into the
completed areas of the buildings
in late September or early
October, with occupancy soon
after.
During the Soil and Water
Conservation Development
Division (SWCDD) portion of the
meeting, five of the six items of
business were approved by the
board with little comment.
However the sixth item was not

Director
J e n n yAsksamit
during a
s p e c i a l
m e e t i n g
on September 20th to review
quotes for a new ambulance for
the city.
This purchase, a couple of
years ahead of schedule, was
brought about by the fact that
the existing ambulance pur-
chased in 2010, is not compati-
ble with the new Stryker Power
Pro Cot that was to be installed
in the existing unit.
The new cot is necessary to
provide the best service to theirpatients while maintaining the
utmost safety for those on the
ambulance squad.
The new ambulance that was
approved by the council will
have many new safety and
patient care features not found
on the old unit. Including better
lighting,
warning

and inte-
rior stor-
age, com-
fort con-
trols and
a back up
c a m e r a

for aidingin back-
ing safely
in and
out of
garages and accident scenes.
Although this purchase is
ahead of schedule, the money
has already been allocated, and
no additional monies will have
to be raised. The new unit,
which could be delivered as soon
as October 1st, will cost
$126,772.00. This is after
deductions of $4,700 from Ford
Motor Company, $60,000 trade
allowance for the old ambu-
lance, $8,700 trade for the olderpower pro cot system, and $500
for an even older cot system.
The new unit, a 2013 model,
is a demo unit, but will come
with a full Ford Motor Company
warranty.
Council gives go ahead on
new ambulance purchase

Little things make a dif-
ference for DNRs volun-
teer firearms safety
instructor of the yearIts the little things that do make
a difference to Gary Hebler of Pierz,
the Minnesota Department ofNatural Resources (DNR) 2012 vol-
unteer firearms instructor of the
year. Hebler received the award at
the recent Game Fair.
A certified instructor in the small
Morrison County community of
Harding since 1987, Hebler remem-
bers a bare-bones operation at the
start that now features four laser-
shot guns, eight .22 rifles, a trap
thrower, professional looking shirts
and hats for instructors and more.
In the beginning you had to bring
your own guns, but local clubs and
organizations stepped up over the
years since they realized hunting in
the area is a family activity they
wanted to support, he said.
Today 30-40 kids and adults are
DNR firearms safety certified each
year, many from the surrounding
area.
We attract them from as far
away as Brainerd and Little Falls
due to the reputation of the staff, a
team that gives 110 percent to the
students and DNRs firearms safety
program, Hebler said.
Hebler has recruited a least adozen instructors over the years and
is proud of the fact that three
females are among the dedicated
group.
Were seeing more and more
females attending our classes and we
felt adding female instructors would
make these young ladies feel more
comfortable during training, Hebler
said.
Hebler designed a unique field
day that included a series of stations
where students got hands-on experi-
ence before they went afield. Deer
stand safety and walking in the
woods and crossing fence scenarios
were among the stations.
Instructors, assisted by DNR con-
servation officers, have made the
field day a family event, inviting par-
ents and siblings of the students to
come join in the fun, including lunch
on the range.
Going the extra mile for students
is the norm for Hebler. When a phys-
ically challenged youth arrived for
class, Hebler went to work.
The student was bright and
enthusiastic, but would have prob-lems navigating the stations on
crutches, so I coordinated with a fel-
low instructor to find a golf cart to
chauffeur the student around the
stations. Lots of smiles that day,
Hebler said.
An avid hunter and trapper,
Hebler loves taking kids along
whether in the deer stand, duck
blind or target shooting in his back-
yard. His knowledge of the outdoors
and wildlife is great and hes always
willing to share it.
If I can help one child prevent an
accident while hunting its been well
worth it.
DNR QUESTION OF THEWEEK
Q: It appears to be that time of year for
tree diseases to surface. Is there anything
homeowners can do to protect their trees from
diseases and possible mortality, regardless of
tree species?
A: There are a number of things home-
owners can do to help keep their trees healthy.
Since many areas of the state are experienc-
ing drought, a good place to start is watering
the trees. Lack of water predisposes drought-
stressed trees to insects and pathogens that
can attack. Wherever possible, homeowners
should give their trees about one inch of water
each week.
In addition to watering, organic mulch, two-
to-three inches deep and spread out three toeight feet from the trunk, will guard against
lawn mower injury and keep roots moist.
Homeowners should also avoid using weed
and feed fertilizer products, which contain her-
bicide. While the product makes lawns look
good, it does kill tree roots. Picking up and
properly disposing of fallen leaves and tree
branches can help prevent the spread of tree
diseases now and next spring.

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

53rd AnnualOrphan Train Conference
Between 1854-1929 over
50,000 children were placed out
n orphan trains from the East
Coast, venturing into unknown
erritory in the West by train, to
ettle with unfamiliar families
cross America. The transfer
was the first emigration plan
nd largest mass migration of
hildren ever to take place on
American soil; formulating our
ounties first child welfare sys-
em. For many of these children
rriving in new family homes
hroughout America, the place-
ment left them facing kind and
oving families, or as indentured
ervants bound to hard labor.
Descendants and interested
ersons gather annually to cele-
rate and discover the saga of
hose little pioneers drawn into a
ocial experiment spanning a
hree-quarters of a century (75
ears). There are less than fifty
urviving orphan train riders
xisting throughout the Unites
tates today.
A silent auction, meeting,
ntertainment, lunch and ora-
ions by orphan train rider
escendants will fill the day at
he 53rd Annual Orphan Train
Riders celebration at St Francis

xtensively performing an excep-
ional history line-up presenting

orical fiction and musical bal-
ads into a collaborative perform-
nce that brings the Orphan
rain movement, a largely-nknown chapter in American
istory, to public awareness. You

forms of identification are
required at check-in. Individuals
who are 17 years of age, weigh at
least 110 pounds and are in gen-
erally good health may be eligi-

Unused Ag Waste PondsAre you one of the Todd
County landowners who have an
unused, outdated manure stor-
age pond on your farm site? If
so, you may want to think about
properly closing the pond? These
unsightly, old ponds are an envi-
ronmental concern with the
potential of having the liquids
leach into the ground water as
well as a liability issue, should
someone or something fall into
the pond and drown.
The process to properly aban-
don these ponds is fairly simple.
Stop in at either the Todd SWCD
or USDA-NRCS office to find out
about funding options to help
with the pond closure and to
learn how ponds should be prop-
erly closed. If funding is not cur-
rently available, a low interest
loan may help fund the project.
To properly close a pond, thepond is emptied, the residual
manure is scraped off the side
slopes and pond bottom, then the
manure and contaminated soil is
removed and spread on cropland
fields at rates that crops can use
the nutrients. The pond is then
checked by the County Feedlot
Officer to see that all the con-
taminated soil has been
removed, the site is then leveled
and seeded and the landowner
receives a certificate of closure
for their records.
If you are interested, please
contact the Todd SWCD 320-732-
2644 or the NRCS office 320-732-6618 to learn more about proper-
ly closing these ponds and help
make your property safer with
less chance to pollute ground
water.

Over the years, we have developed a system of trails wide
enough for the little tractor or Mule to travel over most of the
farm. It has taken a lot of time and work to get them to where
they are, and it would be easy for what are now trails to revert
to impassible forest. One year of neglect will cause a wide path
through the woods to become a thicket of rose bushes and
saplings. Nature will reclaim what we to not make our own. We
like to keep the trails open to take a leisurely Sunday afternoon
walk or ride watching wildlife and enjoying nature. Wildlife also
takes full advantage of the trails that wind through the deepest
part of the timber. It is not unusual to stop and watch the deer
or turkey as we interrupt their feeding along our trails.
During the winter, ice and wind causes dead trees to fall
across our paths. The combination of spring weather and rich
soil makes every seed that has fallen grow. By summer, its time
to do trail maintenance or lose the trail. Summer brings a couple
f disincentives to going out in the woods with a chain saw and brush cutter. Scorching heat
ombined with smothering humidity is enough to make a person consider waiting until anoth-
r day. The heat and humidity combined with a bumper crop of voracious wood ticks will almost
uarantee nobody wants to work the trails. The path through the woods was not that bad.
Having to detour around a fallen tree and having bits of flesh ripped from a persons body by
ose bushes were a small price to pay compared to the second choice.
Last weekend, we had had enough. It was time to get to work. The tick population seems
under control (I think the turkeys ate most of them), and the temperature was down to a pleas-
nt eighty degrees. I put the chain saw in the back of the Mule and jumped on the tractor with
he brush cutter. My wife followed as we started up the first trail. I would mow ahead and stop
t fallen trees. My wife would pick up smaller logs along the trail and bring the chain saw to
me when I needed it. We cut down the Morman Trail, across the willow crossing, and up toward
he end of the Long Hayfield before the brush cutter broke down. I drove into the open pasture
nd we took the Mule back to the house for parts. On our return, my wife picked up logs and
ticks in the grass pasture while I did the repairs.
At more than one time, either or both of us had sat on the ground or walked through the tall
rass. The thoughts of wood ticks were fresh in our minds, but neither of us thought a thing
bout chiggers. How soon we forget. Chiggers are tiny biting insects that raise an itching welt
hat can drive a person crazy for days. The chiggers are at their worst in the early fall. I have
never heard of anybody getting one chigger bite and we were no exception. One thing about
higgers is a person does not know they have been savaged until after several hours or perhaps
day or two. There is plenty of time to finish the job at hand and get more bites.
By the next morning, my ankles were covered with red itching welts. By that afternoon, the
ull extent of our chigger exposure became obvious to both my wife and me. It is now time to
ake a break from trail maintenance until a heavy frost.We can not go out in public for a few
days because it is not always proper to scratch where it itches.
Scratch where it itches
By Walter Scott
Hi,
Life on the Freyholtz ranch continues to be really crazy busy. A week ago
we had Kates family over for supper for Gregs birthday. He always request
fried chicken for his birthday meal--so that is what I made. He should know
how much I love him, I dont make fried chicken for just anybody. It is a
time consuming greasy mess, but for him and his brother Jeff, who is mar-
ried to my daughter Kristi, I will do it. (Jeff always requests either fried
chicken or Swedish meatballs.)We had additional guests for supper that night. Sonnys son Adam and
his little boy Matthew stopped by to bring his beagle to stay with us until
its new owner picks it up. They put it in the dog kennel and it of course
barked and bayed--and then our two big old St. Bernards barked at the bea-
gle. Sonny told me they would settle down after a bit as they got used to
each other, but NO, all night long the chorus went on. I think Sonny saw
the fire shooting out of my eyes in the morning, and he moved the beagle to
the cattle trailer down by the barn. Much better. She still barks A LOT, but
she is far enough from the house so I can sleep. Shes been there a week
now, and still barking just as loud as ever. Wouldnt you think she would
lose her voice by now? I need to check on when the new owner takes pos-
session--and it better be soon.
Sonny has been trying to spend some special time with each grandkid
this summer. He has taken Johnathan, David and Mason out for a round of
hay bale moving. He lets them drive the tractor (with his help) and back-
ing up and picking up the bale with the bale fork has been a learning
adventure with the boys. Mason especially into farming. He told us he prac-tices backing up with the lawn tractor at home to prepare for the big day of
moving bales.
The little girls, Lydia (4) and Martha (2), felt kind of left out with
Grandpa Sonny doing farm stuff with the boys, last week on Friday he
picked Lydia up and they made a trip to the Thread Shed to do a little shop-
ping. They found a really nice porcelain doll for Lydia, and at a remarkably
low price. She was thrilled with her purchase. They bought some rolls and
stopped at my moms house for coffee after their shopping excursion. Lydia
had never been to Grandma Veras before, but she chattered away as
though she had been there many times. She had to show off her doll, and
then they had their rolls and beverages. They even made a quick stop at
the Blade office to show me the doll.
Saturday Grandpa Sonny took Martha for her big day. They went to the
Hewitt Barter Fest to see what they had to offer. I guess there were was a
large variety of things to peruse, barter for or buy. They stopped by our
house to show me Marthas purchase before he took her home. In a small
cardboard box was a little bunny, a live little bunny. Martha loves him andcalls him Rabbits. He is very gentle and tame; even lets her put him in the
basket on the back of her tricycle and ride around. Sounds like a good pet.
Now in return, Andrew (Marthas dad) wants to give us his Border
Collie, Maggie. They have ducks and the dog wont stop herding them
around the yard and they hate being herded. Im ok with that, I like Border
Collies---better than St. Bernards and WAY better than beagles.
Back at the dog farm/ranch,
Peggy

ASK A TROOPERy Sgt. Jesse Grabow of the Minnesota State Patrol
Question: What are the rules regarding using your brights while on the interstate?
Answer: This is what Minnesota State Statute says: 169.61 COMPOSITE BEAM.
(a) When a motor vehicle is being operated on a highway or shoulder ADJACENT thereto dur-
ng the times when lighted lamps on vehicles are required in this chapter, the driver shall use a
istribution of light, or composite beam, directed high enough and of sufficient intensity to reveal
ersons and vehicles at a safe distance in advance of the vehicle, subject to the following require-
ments and limitations.
(b) When the driver of a vehicle approaches a vehicle within 1,000 feet, such driver shall use a
istribution of light, or composite beam, so aimed that the glaring rays are not projected into the
yes of the oncoming driver.
(c) When the driver of a vehicle follows another vehicle within 200 feet to the rear
So what this means is whether the road is a two-lane, or a divided road such as a four-lane sep-
rated by a median or other barrier, a person still needs to dim for oncoming traffic with 1,000
et. This would also apply to traffic on frontage road according to the definitions of adjacent.
1. adjacent - nearest in space or position; immediately adjoining without intervening space;2. adjacent - having a common boundary or edge; abutting; touching;
3. adjacent - near or close to but not necessarily touching;
Question: Hello. I appreciate your weekly newspaper column and find it quite informative.
m hoping you can provide some clarification for me. As I understand it, livestock trailers don't
eed to be licensed if they are solely used for active farming purposes (hauling cattle to pasture).
s this correct? How about a livestock trailer used for 4H, purely leisure purposes?
Answer: As far as trailer registration, this is what Minnesota State Statute says: 168.012
ehicles exempt from tax or l icense fees. Subdivision 2a. Small farm trailer. Farm trailers with a
ross weight of less than 10,000 pounds, drawn by a passenger automobile or farm truck and used
xclusively for transporting agricultural products from farm to farm and to and from the usual
marketplace of the owner, shall not be taxed as motor vehicles using the public streets and high-
ays and shall be exempt from the provisions of this chapter.
A reminder of rear lighting and reflectors are still required along with the proper hookups
hitch, safety chain/cable, etc.)
If you have any questions concerning traffic related laws or issues in Minnesota, send your
uestions to Trp. Jesse Grabow Minnesota State Patrol at 1000 Highway 10 West, Detroitakes, MN 56501-2205. (You can follow him on Twitter @MSPPIO_NW or reach him at,

DNR announces special
youth deer season
Youth ages 10-15 are eligibleto participate in a special deer
season that runs from Thursday,
Oct. 17, to Sunday, Oct. 20, in 28
permit areas that encompass
portions of southeastern and
northwestern Minnesota.
This youth-only season pro-
vides an opportunity for parents,
guardians and mentors to sched-
ule and plan a special deer hunt
with youth, said Mike Kurre,
mentoring program coordinator
for the Minnesota Department of
Natural Resources.
Deer permit areas open to the
hunt are 101,105, 111, 114, 201,
203, 208, 209, 256, 257, 260, 263,
264, 267, 268, 338, 339, 341, 342,
343, 344, 345, 346, 347, 348, 349,
601 and 602. Whitewater Game
Refuge also is open to takingeither sex deer by eligible youth.
Youth must meet all firearms
safety requirement, possess a
license and use the appropriate
firearm for the permit area in
which they are hunting. They
may take a deer of either sex.
Licenses for youth ages 10, 11
and 12 are free. Licenses for
youth ages 13-17 cost $5. All
youths must pay a $1 issuing fee
when obtaining a license.
An adult mentor must accom-
pany the youth but may not hunt
or carry a firearm. The special
season should occur when stu-
dents are on school break. Publicland is open as is private land,
provided the youth hunter has
landowner permission.
Participating in youth deer
season does not preclude the
youth from participating in the
regular firearms deer season but
any deer harvested do count
against the youths season bag
limit.
DNR conservation
officers accept
new positionsThree Minnesota Department
of Natural Resources (DNR) con-
servation officers have accepted
new positions within the
Enforcement Division.
Capt. Tom Provost is the new
northeast region enforcement
manager based in Grand Rapids,
replacing Col. Ken Soring who
was named DNR enforcement
director in June. The northeast
region includes 55 conservation
officers within six enforcement
districts covering 11 counties in
northeastern Minnesota.
Provost was formerly the stan-
dards and training manager at
the DNR enforcement training
center at Camp Ripley in Little
Falls.
Provost began his DNR career
in 1989 as a research assistant in
the DNRs wildlife wetlands
research group before becoming a
conservation officer in 1991. He
was promoted to district supervi-
sor in the Brainerd area in 1998
and named training manager last
year.
Capt. Stacey Sharp is the new
northwest region enforcement
manager based in Bemidji. The
northwest region includes 37 con-
servation officers within four
enforcement districts covering 23
counties in northwestern
Minnesota.
Sharp was a Nebraska state
trooper from 1983-2005. He joined
the DNR in 2006, serving in theBemidji and Thief River Falls
field stations before being named
Bemidji area enforcement super-
visor in 2012. He replaces Capt.
Jim Dunn who is now enforce-
ments grants manager.
1st Lt. Jeff Koehn, a former
police officer, is the new DNR
District 7 enforcement supervisor
in Grand Rapids, replacing 1st Lt.
Dave Olsen who recently retired.
District 7 includes nine conserva-
tion officers covering Koochiching,
Itasca, and Aitkin counties.
A lifelong hunting, fishing, and
camping enthusiast, Koehn has
been with the DNR since 2006.Previous assignments include the
northeast regional ATV officer
and the DNR Enforcement
Divisions representative for the
forest certification audit process.
Koehn was named the DNR
District 6 enforcement supervisor
in Dec. 2010, and later the
District 8 enforcement supervisor.
DNR to offer state
lands at public auctionThe Minnesota Department of
Natural Resources (DNR) will
have 23 parcels of land in north-
eastern Minnesota for sale at a
public auction scheduled forFriday, Oct. 25.
The sale will include parcels
in Cook, Itasca, Lake, and St.
Louis counties, some of which are
lakeshore lots.
This is a great opportunity
for people looking for land in this
very popular recreational desti-
nation, said Jodi Dehn, DNR
realty supervisor. Its not often
that parcels in this area of the
state become available for sale.
The auction starts at noon
with registration at 11:30 a.m. at
the Lake County Law
Enforcement Center, main con-
ference room, 613 Third Ave.,Two Harbors.
The DNR sale will be immedi-
ately followed by a sale of tax-for-
feited lands in Lake County.
Interested buyers are encour-
aged to visit the DNRs land sale
information page at
www.mndnr.gov/landsale prior to
attending the sale.
Property data sheets with full
descriptions of the parcels
offered for sale and selling prices
will be posted on the website 30
days prior to the sale.
DNR confirms zebra
mussels in Maple Lake
in Douglas CountyTurtle and Long lakes (Douglas
County) and Lake Reno (Pope and
Douglas counties) also designated
The Minnesota Department of
Natural Resources (DNR) has con-
firmed the presence of zebra mus-
sels in Maple Lake in Douglas
County after responding to a report
of zebra mussels attached to the
wheel of a boatlift in the lake earli-
er this month.
DNR staff searched several
docks, lifts and near shore areas in
Maple Lake and found numerous
small zebra mussels attached to
several pieces of equipment in the
north end of the lake. Further
searches found additional small
zebra mussels at the south end of
the lake.
While no zebra mussels were
found in Lake Reno or Turtle and
Long lakes, these lakes will be des-
ignated as infested waters. Water
from Maple Lake can flow into
Lake Reno, and both Turtle and
Long lakes are located downstream
from Maple Lake. Searches will
occur on Lake Reno later this fall
when docks and boat lifts are
pulled from its shores.
These designations will serve as
a means to get ahead of an infesta-
tion, thus educational and enforce-
ment efforts to limit the spread of
invasive species will increase in
these waters. The designations also
will mean that boaters can expect
an increased presence of decontam-
ination units and crews on these
lakes.
These recent discoveries rein-
force the importance of practicing
proper aquatic invasive species pre-
ventative methods, said Joe
Eisterhold, DNR invasive species
specialist at Itasca State Park. We
want to remind folks to inspect all
water-related equipment when it is
removed from the water at the end
of the season and report any sus-
pected zebra mussel discoveries to
the local DNR area office.
Lakeshore owners should also
keep in mind that moving docks
and boat lifts from one lake to
another is a serious issue. Boat lifts
and docks are of particular concern
because they sit in the water for
extended periods, giving adult
zebra mussels a greater opportuni-
ty to attach themselves.
State law requires that all boat
lifts, docks and swim rafts removed
from any lake, river or stream
remain out of the water for 21 days
before being placed into another
water body.
DNR question
of the weekQ: With nesting season over,
what is the best method for clean-
ing out a bluebird house?
A: After birds are finished using
the box remove all of the nestingmaterial. If the box has a door, open
it and leave it opened until spring.
This way, rodents wont chew on
the door or the entrance hole to try
to get in. If the box is soiled, spray
a 10 percent bleach solution inside,
wipe it out and let it dry. This
should remove parasites and disin-
fect the box so it is ready for next
year.

Tigers lose to OTC but continue tolearn on the field
By Coach Petermeier
The Tigers traveled to Battle Lake Friday night and got a lesson in speed, quickness,
and what a weight room is for.
We have some seniors and juniors that absolutely play their tails off and from a coach-
ing standpoint and a human being standpoint I could not ask for more effort and tough-
ness from them. Our problem is we just dont have enough of them. We are putting some
pretty tough assignments and asking a lot in key positions from some pretty young and
inexperienced players. We continue to work on the little things to make us better. Proper
fits in a hole and closing down gaps made by pullers and kickers is critical to our success
on defense.
I see improvement each and every week and that is encouraging. But, when you face avery talented well coached team as we did in OTC you have to be perfect on every play.
They just have too many weapons in their backfield and their pulling guards and tackles
are as physical as they come, it is learning by fire for us at this point.
Thinking and running do not work in football and that is our hurdle to get over. We need
to get past thinking and turn it into reacting. With our numbers as they are, we cannot
simulate other teams offense and defense; we need to learn during a game. We really are
getting better from week to week. The score board does not show it but a one point loss or
is this case a 43 point loss is still a loss. We as coaches need to use film to show these young
men when and why something works and why something didnt.
Again, effort is not an issue, our effort is displayed every play and that is something our
young men take great pride in. We will continue to work hard on the little things to make
the bigger picture obtainable.
Tigers lose a tough one to OsakisBy Mary Irsfeld
The Browerville Tigers traveled to Osakis last Tuesday night to
take on the Silverstreaks. The Tigers were defeated 0-3 (24-26, 21-25,
22-25). It was a great match up with a lot of competitive volleys. It's
tough to lose but we took a lot of positives out of the match. We did a
lot of things well, but so did Osakis.
Katelyn Middendorf put up 27 set assists. Crystal Pearson led our
attack and back row with 14 kills and 22 digs. Paige Callahan had 7

A long winter followed by a
old, wet spring contributed to a
ignificant decrease in
Minnesotas pheasant count,
hich declined 29 percent from
012, according to the Minnesota
epartment of Natural Resources
DNR).
Minnesotas results reflect
hat were seeing in other
tates, said Rachel Curtis, DNR
ildlife research biologist. South
akota had a 64 percent decrease
n its brood survey. North
akotas most-recent rooster
rowing count is down 11 percent
om last year. And Iowa reported
19 percent decrease in its
ugust roadside count.
Minnesotas 2013 pheasant
ndex is 64 percent below the ten-
ear average and 72 percent
elow the long-term average.
Pheasant hunters still are
xpected to harvest about
46,000 roosters this fall. Thats
own 44,000 from last years esti-mate and is less than half the
umber of pheasants taken dur-
ng the 2005-2008 seasons when
unting was exceptionally good.
The highest pheasant counts
ere in the southwest region,
here observers reported 51 birds
er 100 miles of survey driven.
Hunters should find good harvest
pportunities in west-central,
ast-central and south-central
Minnesota.
Pheasant populations respond
o habitat abundance and
hanges in weather, Curtis said.
The steady downward trend in
Minnesotas pheasant populationuring the past several years is
rimarily due to habitat loss.
Weather has caused minor fluctu-
tions.
The most important habitat for
heasants is grassland that
emains undisturbed during the
esting season. Protected grass-
ands account for about 6 percent
f the states pheasant range.
armland retirement programs
uch as Conservation Reserve
Program (CRP), Conservation
Reserve Enhancement Program,
Reinvest in Minnesota and
Wetlands Reserve Program make
up the largest portion of protected
grasslands in the state.
High land rental rates and
competing uses for farmland
diminish the economic attractive-
ness of farmland conservation
programs. CRP enrollment
declined by 63,700 acres in
Minnesotas pheasant range over
the last year and contracts for
nearly 400,000 acres of statewide
CRP lands are scheduled to
expire during the next 3 years. If
not re-enrolled, this would reduce
CRP acres in Minnesota by 30
percent.
To help offset continued habi-
tat losses caused by reductions in
conservation set-aside acreage,
the DNR has accelerated acquisi-
tion of wildlife management
areas in the farmland region of
Minnesota. The U.S Fish andWildlife Service also acquires and
protects habitat across the state.
In addition, the DNR supports
habitat conservation on private
lands by working with a variety of
partners in the Farm Bill
Assistance Partnership and
Working Lands Initiative.
High spring precipitation and
below average temperatures hurt
nesting this year. This years
average hatch date was delayed
to June 20, which is 11 days later
than the 10-year average of June
9.
Although fewer broods were
seen, brood size was larger thanlast year and comparable to the
long-term average. Actual repro-
duction rates may be higher than
the survey suggests. Hens that
were successful nesting later in
the season tend to be underrepre-
sented in roadside data and it is
possible that hens were still nest-
ing or in heavier cover with young
chicks during the survey period.
The pheasant population esti-
mate is part of the DNRs annual
August roadside wildlife survey,
which began in 1955. DNR con-
servation officers and wildlife
managers in the farmland region
of Minnesota conduct the survey
during the first half of August.
This year's survey consisted of
171 routes, each 25 miles long,
with 152 routes located in the
ring-necked pheasant range.
Observers drive each route in
early morning and record the
number and species of wildlife
they see. The data provide an
index of relative abundance and
are used to monitor annual
changes and long-term popula-
tion trends of pheasants, gray
(Hungarian) partridge, cottontail
rabbits, white-tailed jackrabbits,
mourning doves and other
wildlife.
The gray partridge index also
decreased from last year and
remained below the 10-year aver-
age. The cottontail rabbit index
increased from last year but
stayed below the 10-year and
long-term average. The jackrab-
bit index was 87 percent below
the long-term average. Finally,
the mourning dove index was 20
percent below last year and lower
than the 10-year and long-term
averages.
DNR seeks applications
for parks and trails
grantsThe Parks and Trails Legacy
grant program is soliciting appli-
cations by Oct. 25 for park and
trail projects across Minnesota.
Eligible projects include acqui-
sition, development, improve-
ment and restoration of park- or
trail-related facilities of regional
or statewide significance outside
the metropolitan area, as defined
in Minnesota Statutes, Section
473.121. Counties, cities and
townships are eligible to apply.
The program has $3.91 million
available for grants and $7.39
million available for specific leg-
islatively designated project
areas. Funding comes from the
Clean Water, Land and Legacy
Amendment, approved by voters
in 2008.
Program and application infor-
mation is available on the DNRs
website at www.mndnr.gov

Youth 15 and younger
no longer need free
small game licenseWith many small game seasons
open and pheasant season soon to
open, the Minnesota Department
of Natural Resources (DNR) is
reminding hunters that youth age
15 or younger no longer need a
free license to hunt small game.
In recent years, youth age 15
and under were able to hunt for
free but were required to have a
complimentary license in their
possession.
This hunting season its very
simple for kids 15 and younger,
said Jay Johnson, DNR hunting
recruitment and retention super-
visor. They can hunt grouse,
squirrels, ducks, pheasant and
rabbits without any license or
stamps.
Johnson said youth hunters
still need to comply with firearms
safety certification and otherrequirements. Free and reduced
price licenses are one of the tools
the DNR is using to encourage
youth to experience and continue
hunting, he said.
Youth 13 and younger must be
accompanied by a parent or legal
guardian.
Grouse season opened
Saturday, Sept. 14. Waterfowl
season opened Saturday, Sept. 21.
Pheasant season opens Saturday,
