Long Prairie area 2011 Relay For Lifes 10th Anniversary

By Tarissa Host The Relay For Life of the Long Prairie Area is proudly hosting its 10th anniversary, which will be held July 22nd. Over the past nine years the Relay has raised $382,945 and organized 195 teams. Area chairpersons Sev Blenkush and Deb Clasemann are busy preparing for the memorable event and are expecting a great turn out. This year there are sixteen teams signed up for the Relay so far. Each team generally has ten members, with each member raising approximately $100. Team members raise money by selling luminaria bags which cost $10 each. The Relay is sort of a tag-team event. Teams are required to have at least one member on the track at all times and may switch members as they please. Sponsorships are available for area businesses and individuals. Because Relay For Life is a significant community event, a partnership between local businesses and the Relay For Life organization can be essential for a successful Relay. The sponsorships run from $250 and up. This year there are six Bronze level sponsors that have contributed $1000 to the Long Prairie Area Relay For Life. The money that is raised during this event goes to the American Cancer Society towards education, research, and advocacy. The money contributed to education alerts individuals to specific test recommendations. Most of the money contributed to research goes to the University of Minnesota and the Mayo Clinic. Also, money contributed to advocacy has led to no smoking bans in public and private areas. The American Cancer Society also provides cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy treatment with wigs, and provides patients with lodging at the Hope Lodge in both Minneapolis and Rochester. Other funding goes for transportation to treatment, in-home medical equipment, and many other programs. On June 21st there was be an evening meal at the Long Prairie Country Club to honor cancer survivors and their caregivers. Many of these survivors will be marching the Survivors Lap at the Relay on July 22nd. There was also a spaghetti meal on July 13th at the Village Cafe in Grey Eagle from 5:007:00 p.m. that the committee set Continued on page 16.
Above: Romaine Winkler has been a janitor at Christ the King School for twenty-six years. He plans to retire at the end of August By Tarissa Host Romaine Winkler, a Browerville citizen and long time janitor at the Christ the King School, will be retiring the last week of August. The school has not found a replacement yet, but they are hoping to before August and the fall school year begins. Romaine applied for the position about twenty-six years ago. He wasn't quite sure what the job entailed but he thought it would be a nice, local job that did not require a lot of driving. Little did he know the challenges and long hours the job required. He found he really like it though because of the flexibility and job security. Winkler was born and raised in Browerville. He attended St. Peter's Private School for eight years. He graduated from Browerville High School in 1964 and entered the army in November of 1965. There he did mechanic work on heavy machinery and construction for the army. With nine months left to serve he was sent to Germany, where he met his first wife. He took a European discharge and returned to Browerville in August of 1975. Soon after his return, a custodial position was available at Christ the King School. He applied and was accepted. He is now finishing his twenty-sixth year with the school. Winkler is also an active member of the VFW and American Legion. As a member of the VFW he participated in Memorial Day and Veterans Day programs, and did military honors at funerals. He also became a member of the American Legion. Romaine is looking forward to retirement, but is not sure what he plans to do. First of all, he said he would like to catch up on much needed sleep. He is also looking forward to finishing a couple home projects that he started and hasn't had time to finish. He plans on taking some time to hunt and fish as well.

What next?
For the most part, spending a little time in front of the computer each week, to voice my opinion on the ways of the wild outdoors from my perspective, is just a way to unwind and prepare myself for the work week ahead. Some people kick back in the easy chair and watch a ball game or a race. But not me, when I have Kevin Winkler time to relax at home, I'd much rather take in something fishing related on TV, or read and interact with friends on the internet. So, punching out a story or something to share with the local paper would seem like an easy task. I don't know how the people who depend on writing for a living really do it week after week, year after year. I once asked Tim Lesmister about writers block and he said there is no such a thing. When I think about it, he's probably right. I can pick up many different newspapers, magazines, or even surf the web, and always find something interesting to read. But I guess for me, that might be the problem. When I sit down in front of the keyboard, either a topic comes to me, or it doesn't! Ive thought long and hard for days trying to come up with fresh or interesting pieces to write. I've asked friends and family members about subject matter, even the new kid working the gas station helped with a topic idea here and there. I think the colder months keep my brain working at the proper temperature and things seem to flow every time I sit down. But blast me with the summer heat and 10-12 hour days at work and the brain just starts to feel like a melted puddle at the end of the week. I try and squeeze in a day or two on the water here and there, but with the heat, the days are better spent swimming like a fish, not trying to catch them. For me, this is really the time of year when night fishing is the real way to beat the heat, and the traffic. With that said, feel free to contact me anytime if you'd like me to dig into a fishing, hunting, or outdoor related topic. Maybe you're having troubles with a sasquatch, and need someone to investigate it. Just drop me a line. Crop circles you say? Yep, outdoor related, I'd be all over it. Maybe you just want to air your feelings on outdoor concerns and don't know what, who, where or how to get started. Again, just drop me a note to captainwinkler@yahoo.com or P.O. Box 226 Browerville Mn. 56438 and I'll see what I can do. But for now, I'm going to be trying to figure out how to keep cool and praying for summer temps to go away soon! Just thinking about snow makes me happy.

Sounds like brutal summer heat this week! Find a cool spot and stay there!
If your house it like mine, a beef roast is just too much for two people. We both like roast beef, but can only eat so many cold roast beef sandwiches, or reheated hot beef sandwiches, or roast beef hash. I searched the internet for some leftover roast beef recipes and there were lots of them. This one sounded good, so I am going to give it a try this week.

Carnivorous animals will not eat another animal that has been hit by lightening. Goldfish lose their color is they are kept in dim light or placed in a body of running water, such as a stream. Dolphins sleep at night just below the surface of the water. They frequently rise to the surface for air. Catfish have 100,000 taste buds. The enamel on a human tooth is only 1/1000th of an inch thick. Dragonflies can fly 50 to 60 mph. German Shepherds bite humans more than any other breed of dog. It takes a lobster about seven years to grow to be one pound. A 1,200 pound horse eats about seven times its own weight each year. Tapeworms range in size form about 0.04 inch to more than 50 feet in length. The anaconda, one of the worlds largest snakes, gives birth to its young instead of laying eggs.

SHIP wraps up,looks at impact on Todd County

The Morrison-Todd-Wadena Community Health Board is wrapping up its Statewide Health Improvement Program (SHIP) grant. Over the past two years the SHIP grant focused on supporting local initiatives to address obesity and tobacco prevention. Todd County has benefited by 13 mini-grant projects in six communities and seven schools. Todd County has been impacted by $49,911 in SHIP seed money resulting in healthier eating and increased physical activity in schools and communities. An additional $25,000 was awarded to regional initiatives overlapping Todd, Morrison and Wadena Counties. In 2008, the Minnesota legislature passed a health care reform initiative. This was followed by creation of the Statewide Health Improvement Program, called SHIP. Following a rigorous application and review process, SHIP grants were awarded to all 53 community health boards covering all 87 counties and eight of the 11 tribal governments in Minnesota. Locally, this provided the opportunity for the Morrison-ToddWadena Community Health Board, made up of all three counties public health agencies to implement the SHIP grant. The health board developed a mini-grant program to fund community-based projects that would lead to sustainable changes to promote greater physical activity and healthy eating for residents. Minigrant programs varied from community gardens to school physical activity programs to Farm to School programs. Todd County mini-grant recipients include: Lakewood Health System Nutritional Services; Staples Community Center; Staples Area Farmers Market Association; Long Prairie Chamber of Commerce; Long Prairie Trails Committee; Todd County Wellness Committee; Motley, Staples, Eagle Valley and Long Prairie-Grey Eagle elementary schools, Staples-Motley and Browerville high schools and the Bertha-Hewitt school. The Staples-Motley High School implemented a program to grow starter plants for a garden, hire student garden workers through the summer months, and harvest the produce to use in the Family and Consumer Science (FACS) classes during the fall and winter. Agriculture instructor Kerry Lindgren worked with Lisa Kajer to get the most out of the beets, kohlrabi, zucchini, lettuce, broccoli, carrots, tomatoes, rutabagas, rosemary and basil grown in the garden. Other gardening projects have been completed throughout the county in schools and communities. Long Prairie Chamber of Commerce had started work on a community garden. SHIP funds allowed for increased accessibility to the garden with a ramp from the street level and two raised beds. Lyle Danielson, Economic Development Authority, said the community garden not only provided

a place to grow vegetables, it was also a great social meeting ground. SHIP grants in Bertha-Hewitt and Eagle Valley Schools covered staffing, supplies and garden materials. Students in summer school and school age childcare programs increased their physical activity and learned where food comes from by digging in the dirt, pulling weeds and picking bugs. Wed spend an hour or so in the garden each day, as weather and time permitted, said Jean Shaw, coordinator of the Bertha-Hewitt garden. Produce from both gardens was used in classes, food service and some was donated to local food shelves. Long Prairie Trails Committee worked to encourage physical activity around Long Prairie by establishing walking/hiking trails, installing signage, compiling historical route information, printing informational brochures, promoting the trails through newspaper ads and a website www.longprairietrails.com, and collaborating with CentraCare Health System to organize a 5K run. Katherine Mackedanz, Todd County Public Health Educator and facilitator of the local projects is pleased with the outcomes of the SHIP grant. The goal of SHIP is to help Minnesotans lead longer healthier lives by preventing the chronic disease factors of tobacco use and exposure, poor nutrition and physical inactivity. The Morrison-ToddWadena SHIP grant has taken the first step by creating awareness at the community level and supporting interventions within our communities that improve health and prevent disease. By funding sustainable projects at the local level, the SHIP grant has provided communities with the necessary support to take on projects that will impact residents health and well-being for years to come.

Size does matter
him. I know it might be the trophy of a lifetime, but I also know, he could produce ten or fifteen bucks the next year that would grow up to look just like him. Hunting season is during and after breeding season, and I have never gotten that trophy of a lifetime, so I know the really great genetics have been passed on. One year, I hunted a particular deer I knew I would both regret and celebrate if only I could get a shot at him. I was running grass calves on my farm that year so I was out every day checking them. If deer are accustomed to horses, they dont notice if a horse has a rider. Several times that summer, I would spot one particular buck. At times I even got fairly close to him. He was an unusually large bodied deer and even in early summer his antlers looked impressive. By late summer, with his rack almost fully grown and still in velvet, he was what is known as a monster buck. In the fall, I was seeing him two or three times a week, always in the same area. He had food, water, and plenty of does to service in his little forty acre timber. As far as I knew, he never went within a half mile of the road. If he had, I would have heard about it. Deer this big are too good to not tell everybody you know, unless of course, as in my case, it had become my deer. I decided I would take this deer, celebrate the trophy of a lifetime, and deal with my regrets later. When bow season opened, I was out there every day. I put my tree stand next to the creek and he would either not show up at all or come up the hill a hundred yards away. I put the stand at the top of the hill and he came out at the creek. In the early morning sunlight, he was a magnificent animal to behold. His perfect ten point rack glistened white from being polished on scrapes. He was usually being trailed by a huge eight point that nobody would pass up. Im sure the two of them were making quite a hit with the ladies. That fall, I passed on some of the biggest deer Ive ever seen while waiting for that particular buck. When the season closed and my buck tag was not filled, I had few regrets. I hunted hard, saw some great deer, and the buck I was after would breed again the next fall. My wife and I were sitting on the porch this morning when four bucks came over the hill toward the house. One was a really impressive ten point. It makes me wonder if hes the son or grandson of the biggest deer Ive ever seen. He was big enough to be impressive, even before his antlers are fully grown.
Letters to the editor

Do we really need this? (lighting on all vehicles)
To the editor: YES we do, because of PUBLIC SAFETY, and because its the law (169.55)! All vehicles, (vehicle means every device in, upon, or by which any person or property is or may be transported or drawn upon a highway 169.011 Subd 92. vehicle) are required to have certain lights and a slow moving vehicle sign if traveling 30 mph or less. A white light projected to the front of the vehicle for not less than 500 feet and a red light to the rear visible for not less than 500 feet from dusk to dawn and during inclement weather, is state law! It is also state law (169.522 Subd 1) to display a slow moving vehicle sign (SMV) on ALL vehicles traveling 30 mph or less. Keep in mind that littering on public roads and road ways, and littering in general is also against the law. Our law enforcement agencies are sworn to uphold the laws of this state and that should mean ALL laws. Since it is obvious that there are vehicles on the road without lights or SMV signs, it appears that some of the state laws are not being enforced. I wonder if it might be the result of budget priorities at the expense of PUBLIC SAFETY. Our County Attorney, in his letter of June 17, 2011 to the Commissioners recommends that law enforcement enforce the existing statutory lighting requirements. That reinforces the 127 people who signed their names in support of lighting on all vehicles on all public roads. Do we need a major accident with loss of life before we enforce ALL the state laws on public roads? As Al Bous says, People, please drive with care, and I agree with him except for driving on the shoulders of the roads that are torn up. They may be hazardous to your health and to your vehicle! And lastly, be extra careful of the organic waste/litter you find on the road and in parking lots, regardless of what people say, it is not an apple, it is litter. When walking your pets and they relieve themselves, most people know enough to clean it up so it is not a bother or burden to others and it shouldnt be dumped on the road where it gets on vehicles and ends up in someones garage.

By Walter Scott Antlers on the male deer are a secondary sexual characteristic. They are used to impress the does thus increasing their chances of mating and reproducing. The antlers also serve to impress hunters. To get a chance at a buck with a huge set of antlers takes either great skill or a whole lot of luck. A buck with a big rack is older, wiser, and much more cautious than a younger smaller buck. The saying goes, They did not get that big by being stupid. Each year bucks shed their antlers in the late fall, after breeding season, and start to grow a new, bigger set the next spring. The size and shape they grow are determined by age, nutrition, injury, and most importantly, genetics. If I see a buck with an unusually large set of antlers, I have real mixed emotions about taking a shot at
Governor Dayton, dont back down

To the editor: With the state shutdown will under way and government officials trying to appeal to the individual voters to be reelected in the next elections, I feel as though we, the proud people of Minnesota, are being somewhat ignored. We all seem to work hard to put food on the table and have a strong sense of community values. I personally have seen people around our area when the Red River comes up in the spring, to tornadoes ravaging cities, the people of Minnesota have come out to lend a hand to show that together we, the people, can climb the highest mountains, we, the people have the ability to correct the wrongs. Lately Ive been listening to MNPR and theyve talked about how our state government needs to budget, how they need to cut costs in order to maintain an effective government. One day I walked into the local library and the local women who work there were volunteering their time to insure a brighter future for generations to come. by insuring the people in our local community get the books they need to become knowledgeable about the world around them. (I thought, Wow, these people understand the importance of knowledge, which in turn, brings people together.) From farmers to bakers, children to the elderly, any race or gender, this is a place for all people to come and benefit for the good of all. This is just one of so many other services in the state budget that doesnt just affect one group, it affects us all. From people helping others find work to public parks, every service is part of our American life. Sure, its easy to say we dont need it, we could manage with it, but theyre still pieces of a whole. Without those services we wouldnt be American. We could be Afghans, we could be Somalians, we could be North Koreans. Without strong public services the weak get weaker and the strong get stronger. Long has blood been spilled for the freedoms we hold so loosely today. We, the American people, have the ability to change, to grow, to invent, and to speak freely. As the great societies that have stood before us, we ought not to make the same mistakes. We should understand that educated populations are most acceptable for the longevity of a republic. As the Greeks educated all their citizens to make a stronger nation, so we should do the same as inventors and entrepreneurs, engineers and architects, we ought to have painters and sculptures, but it is impossible with an under educated community of citizens. The more everyone knows and understands, the better we all are to stand to make a world a better place for generations to come. (Instead of passing the debit from one generation to another, our forefathers understood this well and until the early nineteen hundreds the taxes for the rich were 92%.) Rome, on the other hand, at its time of destruction, decided to heavily tax the masses and the rich ruled in key family units. They cut out public bath houses and educational centers, they cut out places to make and produce stable incomes. The general population became angry and the nation of such great feats came crashing down. What we have is worth fighting for, for most its worth dying for, but we arent Greeks and were not Romans. We are Americans, we can vote, and everyone counts. We must increase the taxes for the rich in times of depression in order to push them to invest in the working class, so you and I can keep working and we may keep the freedoms we have. The rich make their money on the backs of the poor and middle class so it is only fair for them to pay more. If ten people are stuck on an island, and one person counted and distributed the wealth to all, from the fish caught, clothes, made, houses built, that person didnt sweat all day working his heart out. That one person decided who got what and everyone was ok with how much he should get, just a little bit of everything. Sadly, if a rich man has three hundred businesses and hes taking a little from everyone, he could stand to be highly taxed ,but with recent tax laws, hes not, hes taking a majority of the wealth for himself and what was to be taxed and go back to the public as a whole is cut. Increasing the taxes on the richest Americans will force them to hide their money and most of them will be smart enough to invest it in you. If a rich man is being taxes at 32% now and taxes go up to 72%, that man will try to hide his wealth, he most likely will invest in small businesses or new inventions, and by expanding our tax revenue, we can pick up and begin to grow again. Please, I ask you, call or email Governor Dayton to stand up and fight for whats right, tell him Dont Back Down.

Government Shutdown
To the editor: It seems that everyone is trying to blame one party or the other regarding the state budget impasse. I am tired of all the finger pointing and accusations especially since there is an extremely simple way to determine where the culpability lies. If we take an objective look at each step of the process, we should be able to sort things out and figure out who is responsible for this mess! First of all, the Republican legislature is responsible for submitting a state budget. Many Republicans in the legislature wanted to cut the enormous state budget, and reduce the size of government to a manageable, sustainable level. The Democrats, during the debate, argued that the current programs and levels of services should not be downsized. The Republicans had a choice to make, cut the budget like any responsible person would do during this extremely tough economic time or compromise with the Democrats and leave the budget bloated and stuffed with unnecessary redundancy and fluff!. If the Republicans would have ignored the dissenting opinions and submitted a trimmed down budget with much needed cuts, the Republicans would be to blame for the impasse because the Governor would most certainly veto such a responsible budget. However, the Republicans did not submit a right sized budget, they compromised their position, their principles, and the will of the people. They ended up submitting the largest state budget in the history of Minnesota! They did not keep the budget as is, they increased government spending by an irresponsible 6% in a contracting economy. Well, certainly the Republican legislature is not responsible for the impasse because they submitted a budget that would make any liberal spending Democrat feel proud! Next, the Governor needed to sign the enormous new budget in order for this huge increase to take place. Being that the Governor ran on increasing spending, and expanding government one would think that he would jump at the opportunity to sign the largest budget in state history and claim victory over the weak, compromising Republicans in the legislature. He vetoed it!! His veto is obviously a political power play at the expense of every single Minnesotan. His obsession with tax increases on the top 2% of incomes will impact small businesses as well as decrease the amount of much needed capital which funds the job creating private businesses across this great state. At this point it is clear to see that the impasse in the budget issues were caused solely in the Governors office, and he alone is culpable for any level of government shut down. If you are a Democrat, eager to see the size and scope of government increase, you should call the governor and demand that he sign the record setting budget so that government expansion can continue to grow at unsustainable levels. If you are a Republican, even though the budget is most likely going to cause another deficit and budget crisis in the future, you should call the governor and demand he sign the budget just so we can keep the lights on! Like it or not, there is only one person who will be responsible for a government shutdown MARK DAYTON! Craig Hoel, Hutchinson

Lifeguards receive PALS/backboard training
By Tarissa Host. On Monday, July 11th the Browerville lifeguards were at the pool practicing back-boarding and learning to operate the new PAL lift chair that was recently added with the resurfacing of the pool. At the training session, the lifeguards learned to properly strap a person onto the backboard and get them out of the pool into the ambulance. Usually the lifeguards practice every month but because of their busy schedule they are a little behind. During the last couple months the pool has undergone a few crucial changes including a complete resurfacing, the addition of a PAL lift chair, and a platform that can be used with preschool lessons. The new PAL lift chair is federally recommended for handicap access into the pool. The new chair will allow someone who cannot get into the pool using stairs or ladders to get in and out of the pool with ease. Lets say someone had knee surgery and they needed to be in the pool to help with physical therapy, since swimming can be very beneficial in exercising bones without requiring too much physical work. The person could sit in the chair, which is electronically controlled, and easily raise or lower themselves into the pool. The pool was recently resurfaced with Epoxy ceramic tiles which require minimum maintenance and will allow the pool to open sooner each year. Before the pool could be opened for the summer previously, it needed to be repaired and re-painted. Since the pool has been resurfaced it will not need to be re-painted each year. The tiles also make the pool floor less slippery and help heat the pool because the dark tiles easily absorb heat from the sun. A platform was also added so the pre-school or level one class develop confidence in the big pool. The platform can be placed in the shallow end of the pool so that the pre-schoolers can touch bottom. The pool is very busy in the summer season with swimming lessons. There is still room available to sign up for August lessons, which will begin August 1st. Water aerobics began July 12th and will be every Tuesday and Thursday. The cost is $2.00 a session.

Thursday, July 14, 2011 the Boards direction. State shutdown planning is proceeding as directed by the Board. The County Administrator is preparing a recommendation for the Board, including categories of State Essential, County Essential, County Priority, and County Value. The Leadership Team will be meeting on June 27 to discuss the Administrators recommendation. If the County Board or any commissioner wants any specific information regarding state shutdown from the County Administrator, the Administrator will provide said information to the greatest extent possible with the understanding that solid information is difficult to gain at this point given the uncertainty at the State level.

Ruffed grouse counts still high

The grouse population is probably still near the high end of the 10year cycle because drumming counts this spring were between the values observed during 2009 and 2010, said Mike Larson, DNR research scientist and grouse biologist. Drum counts from the last three years havent followed the same smooth pattern as during the previous two peaks in the cycle, but relatively small changes in the index may be due to factors other than the density of grouse. Those factors could include weather, habitat conditions, observer ability and grouse behavior. Ruffed grouse populations, which tend to rise and fall on a 10-year cycle, are surveyed by counting the number of male ruffed grouse heard drumming on established routes throughout the states forested regions. This year observers recorded 1.7 drums per stop statewide. The averages during 2009 and 2010 were 2.0 and 1.5 drums per stop, respectively. Counts vary from about 0.8 drums per stop during years of low grouse abundance to about 1.9 during years of high abundance. Changes in drumming counts compared to those during 2010 were not statistically significant. The averages, however, increased 18 percent in the northeast survey region, the core and bulk of grouse range in Minnesota, to 1.9 drums per stop. They also increased 16 percent to 2.1 drums per stop in the northwest and 32 percent to 0.4 drums per stop in the southeast. Grouse counts decreased 17 percent to 0.8 drums per stop in the central hardwoods region. Minnesota frequently is the nations top ruffed grouse producer. On average, 115,000 hunters harvest 545,000 ruffed grouse in Minnesota each year, making it the state's most popular game bird. During the peak years of 1971 and 1989, hunters harvested more than 1 million ruffed grouse. Michigan and Wisconsin, which frequently field

more hunters than Minnesota, round out the top three states in ruffed grouse harvest. One reason for the Minnesotas status as a top grouse producer is an abundance of aspen and other ruffed grouse habitat, much of it located on county, state and national forests, where public hunting is allowed. An estimated 11.5 million of the state's 16.3 million acres of forest are grouse habitat. For the past 62 years, DNR biologists have monitored ruffed grouse populations. This year, DNR staff and cooperators from 15 organizations surveyed 125 routes across the state. Sharp-tailed grouse counts decrease slightly Sharp-tailed grouse counts in the northwest survey region decreased approximately 16 percent between 2010 and 2011, Larson said. Counts in the east-central region declined approximately 18 percent. Observers look for male sharptails displaying on traditional mating areas, called leks or dancing grounds. This years statewide average of 10.2 grouse counted per dancing ground was similar to the long-term average since 1980. Last years average of 10.7 grouse per dancing ground was down from the 2009 average of 13.6, which was as high as during any year since 1980. During the last 25 years, the sharp-tailed grouse index has been as low as seven birds counted per dancing ground. Overall, sharp-tail populations appear to have declined over the long term as a result of habitat deterioration. In recent years, the DNR has increased prescribed burning and shearing that keep trees from overtaking the open brush lands that sharp-tailed grouse need to thrive. The DNRs 2011 grouse survey report, which contains information on ruffed grouse and sharp-tailed grouse, is available online at www.mndnr.gov/hunting/grouse.

Brayden had been inside the house with the family dog, left the home and wandered away. The boy and dog were found by Mike Jeziorski and Dave Asmus along County 16 and the cornfield near the Asmus residence at approx. 12:16 pm. Browerville Fire Dept., Long Prairie Fire Dept., John Petron and farm employees, and many friends and neighbors assisted in the search. The Anderson family would like to thank all who assisted in finding Brayden. At 12:59 pm, July 8, Theodore Sweep, rural Clarissa, reported his 1986 Dodge pickup had been damaged while parked on Main St. in Clarissa, near Lines Building Center Warehouse.

On July 9, at 1:03 am, the sheriffs office received a report from Sergio Gallo, WI, of a roll over accident. Gallow had swerved to avoid striking two deer with his Ford Mustang on Hwy 287, near 220th St., lost control of the vehicle, hit a field approach, and rolled several times. The car was a total loss. Gallo was wearing a seat belt and sustained minor injuries. MN State Patrol and Long Prairie Police assisted at the scene. Anyone with information concerning any of these cases is urged to contact the Todd County Sheriffs Department at 320-732-2157 or 1-800-7945733.

The Todd County Planning Commission held a public hearing on Thursday, July 7, at 6:30 PM in the Main Street Government Center. Present were: Commission members Jim Pratt, Chair; Mike Wiener, Lloyd Graves, Gene Irsfeld, and Rin Porter, Vice Chair; and board liaison Commissioner Gerry Ruda. Staff present were Chris Arendt and Linda Bleess. Six agenda items were discussed and voted on. The results of the Commissions deliberations are as follows: 1. Scott and Jennifer Gove, Developer; Mark and Peggy Ann Berg, Property Owners: application for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) and a Preliminary Plat for Larry Back Lot on Mound Lake consisting of 3.42 acres to be divided into two residential non-riparian lots which meet and exceed size requirements. The property is located in a shoreland district in Section 2 of Grey Eagle Township. This application was tabled at the June 9th meeting for wetland delineation and a letter from the Grey Eagle Township Board. Both these requests were met. The Commission voted to recommend approval of the CUP and the Preliminary Plat to the county board. 2. Michael and Judith Brick: Application for a CUP to create a one-lot residential subdivision and for a Preliminary Plat for Brick Addition consisting of 3.36 acres with a buildable area of 1.88 acres in a lakeshore zone (Lady Lake) in Section 31 of Burnhamville Township. The Commission voted to recommend approval of the CUP and the Preliminary Plat to the county board. 3. James and Marie Noska: Application for a CUP to increase an existing feedlot from 188 animal units to 240 units of dairy cattle, in Section 14 of Iona Township in an Agriculture-Forestry 1 zoning district in a shoreland district. The feedlot will be modified to include a manure stacking slab, an open lot to be filtered, an open lot to be turned to pasture, and a large vegetated filter strip to control feedlot runoff. The
Noskas milk 46 cows and feed 40 steers. They are working with the Todd County Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) to manage their feedlot and install the improvements according to feedlot rules. 4. Daniel and Sarah Hershberger: Application for a CUP after-the-fact to operate a sawmill doing custom work in Section 9 of Germania Township in an Agriculture-Forestry 1 District. Mr. Hershberger set up his sawmill and began his business operation without a permit. He stated at the public hearing that he did not know that a permit was required. The Commission voted 3 to 2 to recommend approval of the CUP to the county board, and not to impose a fine. 5. Jeff and Steven Kobliska: Application for an after-thefact CUP for Mining and Excavating to remove about 6,000 cubic yards of soil from two residential lots in Block 10, Pine Island Heights, in Sylvan Shores, Sections 30-31 of Fawn Lake Township. The two applicants have already removed about 4,000 cubic yards of soil and transported it to their hot mix asphalt plant near Staples. They cut down a large number of mature trees and destroyed a hill in the lakeshore district without notification or permitting by the DNR, the SWCD, the county, or the Sylvan Shores Property Owners Association (SSPOA). The Commission condemned these actions and ordered the Kobliskas to be present at an inspection to be arranged with the DNR, the SWCD, the SSPOA, and the Planning Commission as soon as possible. The application was tabled to August to allow time for the inspection. The CUP will not be approved and the applicants will be required to restore the lots they have damaged. 6. Stella Christensen and Todd Smith: Application for an after-the-fact CUP to operate a welding and fabrication, equipment repair, and blacksmithing business from their home in Section 26 of Staples Township in an Agriculture-Forestry 1 district. The applicants neighbor appeared before the board to request that the applicants remove items belonging to them from the property line between his and their parcels. The ELRM office staff has had prior dealings with these applicants ans had difficulty in obtaining their compliance with the county zoning ordinance. The Commission voted to recommend approval of the CUP with six conditions, including removal of the items from the property line before the CUP is issued by the ELRM office. The next meeting of the Todd County Planning Commission is scheduled for Thursday, August 4, at 6:30 PM at the Main Street Government Center.

our lakes and rivers exceed safe mercury levels and nearly all fish contain traces of mercury, causing fish advisories statewide, Botzek added. The Clean Air Act requires the EPA to issue air quality standards for pollutants that harm human health and the environment, by limiting pollutants from industrial facilities, power plants and vehicle tailpipes. Recently, several U.S. senators and representatives have introduced bills to handcuff, block, or delay the EPA s efforts to reduce carbon, mercury, and toxic air pollution. The Clean Air Act has been an incredibly useful tool for protecting trout and salmon populations in Minnesota and across the country, including by substantially reducing acid rain," said John Lenczewski, Executive Director of Minnesota Trout Unlimited. We believe that the EPA can use the Clean Air Act in a similar fashion to reduce the level of mercury contamination in Minnesota fish, he added. According to MPCA reports, approximately 90 percent of the mercury that falls in Minnesota originates from sources outside the state and coal producing fired power plants is the single largest source of mercury contamination in the United States. The pollution settles on lakes, rivers, and forests where it finds its way into the flesh of fish and other wildlife, Lenczewski continued. (According to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, more than 95 percent of Minnesota waters which have been tested for mercury in fish filets are contaminated and are subject to a fish consumption advisory. Every angler should be alarmed that some legislators are pushing bills which would prevent us from getting mercury out of the fish which we want to share with our families, Lenczewski noted. Unless Congress leaves the EPA alone to enforce the Clean Air Act, Minnesota s traditional shore lunch is at risk, Lenczewski concluded. ( Mercury pollution not only affects fishing in Minnesota, it is also affecting hunting, said Shawn Nelson, President of FowlNation, LCC, a Minnesota based young water fowlers organization. Mercury in the air and soils and in waters is affecting the duck hunting opportunities in our state and that is not good for any Minnesotan especially the young hunters of the future, he added. The letter also outlines the role of climate change in fundamentally altering the environment and putting our outdoor heritage at risk.

Minnesota s hunters and anglers urge Congress to protect clean air

Local sportsmen and environmental groups have joined together to oppose efforts to weaken one of our nation s most critical health and environmental protections. The groups released a letter signed by more than 350 groups from across the U.S. calling on Congress to allow the Environmental Protection Agency to hold polluters accountable and back off House and Senate attacks on the Clean Air Act. Citing the law s bipartisan origins, the signers said that the act has a long history of success in reducing pollution such as acid rain and smog that threatens fish and wildlife and their habitats. But today, as the EPA strives to reduce airborne toxins that cause mercury contamination and limit carbon pollution, the Clean Air Act faces new threats from a number of bills in Congress. Congressional attacks on the Clean Air Act ignore what Americans need and want, said Mark Peterson, Vice President/Executive Director of Audubon Minnesota. More than 155 million Americans live in areas that fail to meet clean air standards, while airborne pollutants like mercury foul our fish and waterways. I expect Congress to protect our air and water and health, not gut the protections we worked so hard to put in place, Peterson concluded. The airborne toxins that the EPA wants to reduce spew out of smokestacks and contaminate our waters, said Gary Botzek, Executive Director of the Minnesota Conservation Federation. Most of
Curbing the EPA s authority to cut greenhouse gas emissions has been a major focus of some in Congress. Last month the Senate blocked four amendments aimed at disabling the EPA s initiatives to curb climate change. Earlier this year, the National Wildlife Federation issued a game changers study, reporting that America s remarkable storehouse of wildlife is threatened by the double whammy of climate change and toxic air pollutants. Anglers across the country are getting out on the water this spring, hoping to hook the big one. But this fundamental American pastime is being ruined by pollution that is causing harmful mercury levels in many fish, said Danielle Korpalski, Midwest Regional Outreach Coordinator of the National Wildlife Federation. Our message to Congress is simple. Let the EPA do its job and clean up the pollution that fouls our rivers, streams and lakes, Korpalski added. Botzek urged all Minnesotans to contact their two senators and their representative in Washington, DC urging them to support the EPA in its mercury standards work. The work the EPA does in 2011 or is not allowed to do because of Congressional action can and will affect future generations, Botzek added. The unique partnership of America s sportsmen and women, ranging from outfitters to hunters, fly shop owners to foresters, and resort managers to birdwatchers in Minnesota are calling on Congress to protect the landmark Clean Air Act and ensure our outdoor legacy for future generations.

Relay, continued
up as a fund-raiser. Celebrate, Remember, Fight Back The American Cancer Society Relay For Life is a life-changing event that gives everyone in communities across the globe a chance to celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against disease. The Relay For Life event is the signature fund-raising event for the American Cancer Society. The Relay began in 1985 with Dr. Gordy Klatt, a colorectal surgeon in Tacoma, Washington, who wanted to enhance the income of his local American Cancer Society office and build support for all of his patients who had battled cancer. He ran and walked around a track for 24 hours straight to raise money for the American Cancer Society. Dr. Klatts friends, family, and patients watched as he ran and walked the course. Throughout the night, they would donate $25 each to run or walk with Dr. Klatt for 30 minutes. His efforts raised $27,000 to fight cancer. Klatts passion has evolved into the worlds largest movement to end the disease. Every year more than 3.5 million people in 5,000 communities in the United States, along with communities in twenty other countries, gather to participate in these events and raise much- needed funds and awareness to save lives from cancer. Celebrate, remember, and fight back are the themes that link all Relays across the globe together. The Long Prairie Area Relay For Life, which includes Long Prairie, Browerville, Grey Eagle, Burtrum, and surrounding areas, takes place at the Long Prairie- Grey Eagle High School Track every year. The Long Prairie Relay For Life was first established in 2002 and has taken place each year after for 10 years. The event officially begins at 5:00 p.m. with the Opening Ceremonies. There is a welcoming, a presentation of flags, the pledge of allegiance, national anthem, and an invocation. This years speaker will be Sev Blenkush who will be speaking about his ten years of co-chairing the relay as well as his own fight as a cancer survivor. After recognitions are given, there will be the Survivors Lap which will take place on the track. The Survivors Lap represents celebration. It is an inspirational time in which cancer survivors are invited to circle the track together and help everyone celebrate victories theyve achieved over cancer. There were an estimated 11.7 million cancer survivors in the United States as of January 1, 2007. Today that number is a lot larger with technology advancements and research breakthroughs. At dusk the luminaria ceremony begins, which represents remembrance. After dark small bags, about 1/2 full of sand with a lit candle inside, are placed around the track. The bags are decorated in memory of survivors or in honor of those who did not survive. Participants then take a lap around the track in silence, as people remember those who have battled cancer can grieve and find healing. After the luminaria ceremony each team continues to keep at least one member on the track for the duration of the Relay, which ends at 5:00 a.m. The event goes throughout the night to indicate cancers persistence. Cancer is with us 24/7 and provides no respite. said cochairmen Sev Blenkush. Last, there is a Fight Back Ceremony, where members make a personal commitment to save lives by taking up the fight against cancer. Thats not all that will be happening at the Relay. There will be entertainment. A DJ who will provide music throughout the night, and a movie will be shown. A variety of food will be served that has been donated by local businesses. There will also be a silent auction from 5:00-9:00 p.m. The event will be held rain or shine. If the weather cooperates the event will be held at the Long Prairie- Grey Eagle Track. If not, the event will take place in the Long Prairie High School commons area. Everyone is invited to the event. You do not have to be on a team to participate and join in the festivities. Many people just come to watch and show their support. Chairmen Sev Blenkush and Deb Clasemann will also be speaking on the KEYL radio station once a month about the fight against cancer. They will be speaking about ways to prevent cancer such as sun safety, getting tested, quit smoking, and eating right. Many may have heard them on July 12th.

Tri-Parish community welcomes Father Peter VanderWeyst

The Browerville, Clarissa, and Bertha Catholic parishes welcome Father Peter VanderWeyst, who replaced Father Ralph Zimmerman. Father Peter, 35, originally from St. Steven, Minnesota, was assigned to the tri-parish community by the bishop. He was ordained on June 16, 2007. Fr. Peter said" I felt God was calling me to be a priest." He spent two years as a priest in St. Cloud, then spent two years in the cluster of Assumption parishes in Morris, St. Mary's parish, Chokio, and St. Charles parish, Herman. Fr. Peter's hobbies include pitching horseshoes, fishing, artwork, and general sports. If you would like to get to know Fr. Peter masses are held on Saturday at 5:00 p.m. in Browerville, and 7:30 p.m. in Bertha, Sunday at 8:00 a.m. in Browerville and 10:00 a.m. in Clarissa, or on Wednesdays at 8:30 a.m. in Browerville.

Treasurer Karen Bush said she expected employees from her department to apply for the generalist positions. Recorder Cheryl Perish said hiring internal employees will be more efficient because they already have some training. County Administrator Nathan Burkett said the creation of three new positions will actually save the County $102,000 this year. He said the three departments had budgeted that amount to hire two new employees in 2011. By creating the generalist positions and using existing employees it is hoped there will be no need to hire new employees, Burkett said. The new combined department will likely be called Property Records and Taxpayer Services. The new department will have a total of fourteen employees. That is fewer employees than the three departments previously had. STATE SHUT DOWN County Administrator Burkett said a judge is reviewing a number of state services that have been discontinued because of the budget impasse. The judge will determine if the services are essential. Among the services being reviewed by the judge are services to children, the elderly, and the mentally ill. If the services are deemed essential it may lessen the revenue Todd County will lose during the shut down, according to Burkett. At a special meeting July 1, Burkett estimated the county would loose approximately $37,000 per month during the shut down. COUNTY BILLS Commissioners agreed to pay a total of $761,114.90 in bills. Among them was a $34,142.31 quarterly payment for tipping fees at the Morrison County landfill. SHERIFF Commissioners accepted the recommendation of Sheriff Pete Mikkelson to change the name of Central Minnesota Regional Radio Board to Central Minnesota Emergency Services Board. The board is a joint powers board run by a number of central Minnesota counties. The name change came about because the board will now be involved in more emergency services than just radio services, according to Bob Cuchna of the Sheriff s office. DATA PRACTICES Commissioners reviewed a draft data practices and privacy policy for Todd County. The policy would govern public access to the countys government data as well as the rights of people who are subjects of that data. The draft policy was created with the help of departmental heads from seven different departments.
County continues consolidating offices

By Tim King Todd County Commissioners took another step in merging the Auditor-Treasure, Recorder, and Assessors offices at their Tuesday July 5 board meeting. At the recommendation of department heads, commissioners agreed to create a total of three generalist positions that work across departmental lines depending on work needs in each of the three departments. At their June 21 meeting they agreed to create one generalist position that would move between departments as needed. The July 5 action will add two more generalist positions. The creation of three generalist positions will not increase the county payroll. The positions will only be advertised internally to county employees. Auditor-
A large group of volunteers helped search for three year old Brayden Anderson last Friday afternoon near Horseshoe Lake. The child was found a short time later.
