Night to Unite 

Airport seeks 

$50,000 tax 

levy increase 

AROUND 

THE REGION 

April Scheinoha 

Vandals do 

extensive damage 

at Greenbush 

Race Park 

Greenbush - “Vandals 

recently entered the 

grounds of the Greenbush 

Race Park, causing extensive 

damage. The windows 

in the ticket booth were 

broken along with the plexiglass 

in the lap-counting 

booth. Vehicles parked 

beneath the bleacher area 

suffered the greatest damage, 

with the smashing of 

windows in the grader, two 

tow trucks and the push 

truck. The incident 

remains under investigation 

by law enforcement.” - 

The Tribune of Greenbush, 

Aug. 8, 2012 

Karlstad’s library 

cost to increase 

Karlstad - “The 

Karlstad City Council was 

informed Monday night 

that a new funding formula 

used by the Northwest 

Regional Library System 

will cause its bill for support 

of the library to 

increase substantially in 

2013, then take another 

sizeable jump in 2014.” 

“The city currently allocates 

$3,500 to the library. 

Under the new formula, 

that will go up to $5,914 in 

2013 and $8,747 in 2014. 

Hallock currently allocates 

$12,000. That will increase 

to $16,527 in 2013 and 

$20,970 in 2014. 

“Although no action was 

taken regarding the information, 

most of the council 

members regarded the 

increase as relatively minor 

and quite worth the 

expense of the services provided 

by the library. But 

Councilman Pete 

Kautzman voiced some concern 

for the future. He 

noted he isn’t opposed to 

the increase but is concerned 

about the future.” -

Documentary 

looks to capture 

local descendants 

of Norwegians 

Erskine - “One can only 

wonder what brought 

Norwegian people to this 

region of northern 

Minnesota.” 

“Hartvig and Lars Gathe 

from Oslo, Norway, were 

also curious. They are currently 

traveling the region, 

collecting excerpts for a 

documentary pertaining to 

ancestors of Norwegians 

that immigrated to northern 

Minnesota. 

“Their itinerary brought 

them to Bemidji last week 

as they had contacted the 

Bemidji Sons of Norway 

who served as their hosts. 

They were able to view/visit 

numerous sites in the 

Bemidji, Erskine and Thief 

River Falls areas.” - The 

Erskine Echo, Aug. 9, 2012 

About 900 people attended Night to Unite Tuesday at Peder Engelstad Pioneer Village in Thief River

Reporter 

It’s budgeting season again at 

the local government level and 

first up among the local government 

units in Pennington 

County is the Thief River Falls 

Regional Airport Authority, 

which plans to set its 2013 tax 

levy at $250,000. 

Airport Authority commissioners 

met in special session 

Monday, Aug. 6 to discuss the 

proposed 2013 airport budget. 

The $250,000 levy figure would 

be a $50,000 increase over the 

Airport Authority’s first two 

levies, which both totalled 

$200,000. 

The $50,000 levy increase is 

just one step the Airport 

Authority plans to take to offset 

an estimated budget deficit of 

more than $93,000. Airport 

Manager Joe Hedrick said a 

snapshot of 2012 showed 

$532,258 in revenue and 

$490,426 in expenses, which 

would equate to a $41,382 surplus. 

However, repayment of 

debt, including a project slated 

for 2012, will push the $41,382 

surplus to a deficit of more than 

$93,000. 

Among the airport’s existing 

debt is loan repayment for construction 

of the multi-purpose 

hangar, $53,679.48 per year (for 

a 10-year, $452,369.04 loan from 

the city of Thief River Falls); 

bond repayment for the airport’s 

local share of the 2011 runway 

project, $41,712.18 per year (for 

a 10-year, $357,138.40 loan) and 

an estimated $40,000 per year 

(for a 10-year, $340,000 loan) for 

an upcoming taxiway project 

and snowblower purchase. 

Hedrick said the loans could be 

consolidated at some point. 

In addition to raising the tax 

levy, the airport will increase 

landing fees from $11 to $14 per 

landing; T-Hangar fees will be 

raised by $5 or $10 dollars per 

month, depending on the 

hangar, with a cap at $100 per 

month. Storage unit rates are 

also increased from $75 to $90 

per month. 

The Airport Authority 

authorized Hedrick to renegotiate 

IFL Group’s lease of the 

multi-purpose hangar. IFL paid 

$5,000 per month, including 

utilities, to use the new hangar 

space. Based on current expenses, 

Hedrick recommended that 

the rent be raised to $6,500 per 

year to offset higher than anticipated 

utility costs. IFL could 

also be given the option to cover 

its own utility expenses to keep 

the lease at $5,000 per month. 

The airport will save some 

money in salaries and benefits. 

It is losing its most experienced 

employee to retirement, which 

will result in an estimated 

salary and benefit savings of 

$21,394. 

Drawdown exposes importance and risks 

Drawdown 

benefits Agassiz 

National Wildlife 

Refuge 

by David Hill 

Editor 

Myron Jesme, director of the 

Red Lake Watershed District, 

said the RLWD received a notice 

in July that Agassiz National 

Wildlife Refuge planned to 

drawdown Agassiz pool to repair 

the gates. On Aug. 1, the gate 

was opened. 

Jesme anticipates that the 

gates will remain open for about 

30 days. He estimated that as of 

Tuesday, Aug. 7, water levels on 

the Thief River had already 

dropped by about four feet. 

Shortly after the release 

NCTC hosts open house Aug. 15 

Welding takes center stage 

Northland Community and 

Technical College’s welding 

department will be hosting an 

open house on Aug. 15 from 9 

a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Thief River 

Falls campus. The free event is 

open to the public and will 

showcase the new Lincoln 

Electric VRTEX 360 welding 

simulator. Visitors may try their 

hand on the new virtual-reality 

welding simulator and tour of 

the campus at the event, which 

will be held in the Gunderson 

Commons. 

Northland recently purchased 

the Lincoln Electric 

VRTEX 360 Welding Simulator 

with help from a grant through 

the 360 Degree Center of 

Excellence, which is a partnership 

between 10 institutions 

1. In addition, primaries will be 

held for county commissioner 

seats with more than two candidates. 

Primaries will be held for the 

following offices: 

• U.S. Senator – Glen R. 

Anderson Menze, Independence; 

Kurt Bills, Republican; David 

Carlson, Republican; Bob 

Jesme said they received a complaint 

about the quality of water 

in the river. He said the individual 

apparently contacted the 

Minnesota Pollution Control 

Agency and MPCA contacted 

them. 

Philip Torgerson of Thief 

River Falls believes the water is 

getting closer to normal, but 

after that first day it was 

“putrid.” He said he called a couple 

of different places and did 

receive a call back from Jim 

Courneya of the Minnesota 

Pollution Control Agency, who 

said he’d make some calls. 

“My gripe,” said Torgerson,” 

was that notifying the city 

ahead of time won’t solve the 

problem. Why are they allowed 

to release what I believe is 

sewage into the river?” 

The RLWD monitors water 

quality on the river. Jesme said 

tests indicate that the turbidity 

levels are not a concern, but 

there may be other nutrients in 

there that the city may have to 

and led by Bemidji State 

University. The center cultivates 

a potential future workforce 

through more flexible educational 

opportunities via its 

seamless career pathway. 

The Lincoln Electric VRTEX 

360 Welding Simulator is a virtual 

reality tool that teaches the 

principles of welding with the 

benefit of safety. “It teaches 

exact parameters, which is a 

huge issue right now with the 

increased need in sensitive 

parts,” said Northland welding 

instructor Joel Ziegler. “You 

have to set up this machine 

exactly like a real machine or it 

will not work. It can teach wire 

feed, flux core, and stick welding 

at a huge cost savings.

treat for. 

Agassiz has released water 

from Agassiz Pool many times 

before so what makes this 

release more noticeable? Jesme 

said that because of a lack of 

rain this summer, the pools at 

Agassiz and along the Thief 

River may have 

become stagnant. 

Water treatment 

in TRF 

W a y n e 

Johnson, water 

treatment plant 

director, who was 

also contacted by 

the MPCA, said 

the city tests the 

with this versus the real thing, 

you don’t waste any materials 

learning plus the green savings 

are huge because it only needs 

computer electricity,” he added. 

The simulator offers real onthe-job 

scenarios; allowing users 

to virtually weld on a desert 

base, a skyscraper, in a power 

plant, or in a welding booth. The 

VRTEX 360 is a Virtual Reality 

Arc Welding trainer. This computer 

based training system is 

an educational tool designed to 

allow students to practice their 

welding technique in a simulated 

environment. It promotes the 

efficient and effective transfer of 

skills from the virtual training 

environment to the weld booth. 

The VRTEX reduces material 


… this was 

mostly a taste 

and odor issue 

and as a result, 

we are adjusting 

the carbon feeding 

at the water 

treatment plant. 

Airport Authority 

to seek approval 

for $250,000 

budget 

water several 

times each day. 

Jesme said he 

wasn’t aware of 

the release, but the release by 

Agassiz is not an unusual circumstance. 

It has happened 

before, but the long, hot and dry 

summer may have made the 

smell created by little or no dissolved 

oxygen in the water more 

noticeable. He said that when 

the city notices a change, 

adjustments are made to the 

way they treat the water. 

Johnson said this was mostly a 

taste and odor issue and as a 

result, they were adjusting the 

carbon feeding at 

the water treatment 

plant. He 

said they already 

add chlorine and 

other chemicals 

to guarantee a 

safe supply of 

drinking water. 

At the Refuge 

Craig Mowry, 

new Fish and 

W i l d l i f e 

Manager at 

Agassiz National 

Wildlife Refuge, said that the 

Refuge has been concerned 

about the gate at the outlet of 

Agassiz Pool for several years. 

Even since this spring, they 

have noticed that the gate has 


been getting substantially 

worse. They received approval 

to repair the gate and that’s the 

reason for the drawdown; 

although, it benefits the Refuge 

and region in many other ways. 

Whenever there is a release 

from Agassiz, notifications are 

sent downstream. Mowry said 

their records show Thief River 

Falls did receive notice. He speculated 

that once the city 

received the notice, it might not 

have reached Johnson. 

Agassiz decided to work on 

the gates this fall not only 

because the gate needed repair 

but also because it was at the 

end of the nesting season, 

explained Gregg Knutsen, biologist 

for the Fish and Wildlife at 

Agassiz National Wildlife 

Refuge. Wildlife actually benefit 

from a drawdown this time of 

year. 

Agassiz Pool, a large shallow 

pool at the Refuge, has been 

drawn down before. Knutsen 


Northland Community and Technical College - Thief River Falls will 

host an open house for its welding department. The event will 

take place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Aug. 15 at the Thief River Falls 

campus. During this free event, the new Lincoln Electric VRTEX 

360 Welding Simulator will be available.

9/20/84 - 8/11/02 

No longer do I see your face 

It fades each passing year. 

I now rely on photographs 

And dry my many tears. 

And…… 

No longer do I hear your voice 

It is getting harder to remember. 

You used to say, “I love you Mom” 

So loud and yet so tender. 

And…. 

No longer do I see your smile 

It brought me so much joy 

Now I smile about you 

The happy memories of my boy. 

But…. 

Someday when my time comes 

Your face I’ll see once more. 

No photographs or memories 

Life will be like just as before. 

And….. 

Someday I will hear your voice 

Telling me, “Hurry Mom, don’t wait 

Heaven is so awesome 

Just come on through the gate.” 

And……. 

Someday your smile will shine so brightly 

You’ll be the light that guides my way. 

No more tears, no more sorrow 

Only love will fill my day. 

10 years have come and gone 

and we miss you so much Cody 

Love sent to you from all 

your family and friends….

Today’s recipes are from the 

good ladies of Rodnes Church, 

rural Erskine. These recipes 

sound good for these hot summer 

days or lazy days spent at 

the lake. 

Rodnes celebrated 125 years 

in 2010 with this special cookbook. 

If you have a chance, buy 

one. It has many pages of interesting 

writings from the women 

of the parish, as well as stories 

from long ago, tips for baking 

and cooking and, of course, 

great recipes. 

–––––––––––––––––––––––––– 

Here’s an easy summer 

dessert. I’ve never tasted 

this kind of dessert, but it 

sounds good and so quick to 

make for company too. I like 

to use my glass “cake pans” 

for freezer desserts like this 

because they are less apt to 

stick or pick up a metal flavor 

when the pan thaws and 

then gets put back into the 

freezer again. This would be 

great to keep in the fridge 

for a quick summer dessert, 

wouldn’t it: 

CHOCOLATE CHIP 

COOKIE DESSERT 

Paulette (Dorr) Moe 

1 tube (16-1/2 ounces) refrigerated 

chocolate chip cookie 

dough 

8 ounce package cream cheese, 

room temperature 

1 cup powdered sugar 

12 ounce container Cool Whip 

(divided) 

3 cups cold milk 

1 (3 ounce) package instant 

chocolate pudding mix 

1 (3 ounce) package instant 

vanilla pudding mix 

Chopped nuts 

Let cookie dough stand at 

room temperature for 5-10 minutes 

to soften. Press into 

ungreased 9x13 inch pan. Bake 

at 350 degrees for 14-16 minutes 

(a little less for glass) or 

until golden brown. Cool. 

Beat cream cheese and powdered 

sugar until smooth. Fold 

in 1 3/4 cup Cool Whip. Spread 

over cooled crust. 

In bowl, whisk milk and pudding 

mixes well. Let stand 2 

minutes or until soft set. Spread 

over cream cheese layer. Top 

with remaining Cool Whip. 

Sprinkle top with nuts. Cover 

and refrigerate overnight until 

firm. 

–––––––––––––––––––––––––– 

The name of summer 

cooking is “easy.” This is a 

yummy cake you can put 

together in minutes and it is 

great with ice cream or 

whipped cream. Another 

yummy chocolate dessert 

that is perfect for summer: 

FUDGE NUT UPSIDE 

DOWN CAKE 

Grace Lee 

1 tablespoon butter 

3/4 cup sugar 

1/2 cup milk 

1 cup flour 

1/4 teaspoon salt 

1 teaspoon baking powder 

1-1/2 tablespoons cocoa 

1/2 cup chopped nuts 

1/2 cup powdered sugar 

1/2 cup brown sugar 

1/4 cup cocoa 

1-1/4 cup boiling water 

Stir together butter, sugar 

and milk. 

In another bowl, sift flour, 

salt, baking powder and cocoa. 

Mix with butter mixture. Stir 

well and place in 9x9 inch buttered 

baking pan. Sprinkle nuts 

over top. 

Mix powdered sugar, brown 

sugar and cocoa and spread 

over flour layer. Pour boiling 

water over all and bake at 350 

degrees for 30 minutes. 

Serve with whipped cream or 

whipped topping.

August weddings in our 

family, both of them from 

2010. Anyway, if you want to 

have something really summer-like 

and fancy for the 

wedding guests, make these: 

STRAWBERRY SHAPED 

COOKIES 

Lesia Juve 

1 pound coconut 

1 pound almonds, skinless 

1 can sweetened condensed 

milk 

2 tablespoons sugar 

1 package (6 ounces) dry strawberry 

Jello (not sugarless), 

divided 

1 to 2 tablespoons almond 

extract 

Red food coloring 

Grind coconut and almonds 

together in food processor. Add 

condensed milk, sugar, 3/4 of 

the Jello, almond flavoring and 

food coloring. Mix well. Cover 

tightly and refrigerate 

overnight. (Reserve remaining 

dry Jello out of the freezer.) 

The next day, shape dough 

into strawberries and roll each 

in the reserved dry Jello and 

place on waxed paper. Let dry 

well. 

(Green leaves may be made 

by using powdered sugar and 

margarine to make a paste and 

dipping in green food coloring or 

Jello. Form leaves and let dry 

on waxed paper. Sprinkle with 

sugar or Jello.) 

–––––––––––––––––––––––––– 

Everybody loves bananas 

and who doesn’t have a couple 

that have been around 

just a bit too long and 

nobody wants to eat? Use 

them to make these yummy 

bars and there’s no problem: 

BANANA BARS 

Kristi Doyle 

(Kristi said she received this 

recipe from her neighbor, 

Michelle Gunufson) 

1/2 cup butter 

2 cups sugar 

3 eggs 

3-4 bananas, mashed 

1 teaspoon vanilla (I like to use 

real rum in banana recipes – 

SLP) 

2 cups flour 

1 teaspoon baking soda 

Pinch of salt 

Mix butter and sugar and 

beat together. Add bananas, 

eggs, vanilla, flour, soda and 

salt and beat. Pour into greased 

and floured cake pan. Bake at 

350 degrees for 25 minutes. 

Frosting: 

1/2 cup butter 

1 (8 ounce) package cream 

cheese 

4 cups powdered sugar 

2 teaspoons vanilla 

Mix all together and beat. 

Frost cooled bars. 

–––––––––––––––––––––––––– 

I would use mini chips to 

make these yummy bars, 

and maybe use more than 

1/4 cup to swirl into batter, 

too. Won’t they be easy, 

made with a cake mix? Yum: 

MARBLED CHOCOLATE 

BARS 

Judy Ness 

1 German chocolate cake mix 

8 ounces cream cheese, softened 

1/2 cup sugar 

3/4 cup milk chocolate chips 

Prepare cake batter as 

directed. Pour into greased 

15x10x1 inch cake pan. 

Beat cream cheese and sugar. 

Stir in 1/4 cup chocolate chips. 

Drop by teaspoons over batter, 

then cut through with knife to 

swirl the cream cheese mixture. 

Sprinkle with remaining chocolate 

chips. Bake at 350 degrees 

for 25-30 minutes. Cool. 

Cut into bars. Recipe makes 

3 dozen bars.

Biography: Born in California, moved to Minnesota one year later. Lived in Minnesota ever 

since, except for two years in the U.S. Army, 16 months of which was served in Korea mostly 

along the DMZ just south of Pan Mun Jom. Before that he attended and graduated from 

Karlstad High School. Attended Concordia College one year. Attended Bible School in 

Minneapolis, one year. Before all this did a considerable amount of farm work beginning as a 

herder of sheep. Years later one summer he operated a grain harvester in Montana. Delivered 

newspapers for several years. Was a business employee, manager and business 

employer in various businesses at various times (over many years). More lately for 12 years 

he has been and continues to be a manufacturing employee. His business background has been 

very broad and varied, not narrow and limited. 

Qualifications: 

• More than enough 

Experience - Energy - Passion - Wisdom - Vision 

• Broad experience plus the necessary independence 

beneficial to serving the best interests of all the people 

of our State and District without regard to political affiliation. 

For such a time as this 

We cannot prevent tribulation; but I believe we can delay it. 

We cannot provide peace and prosperity, but I believe we can help set the stage 

for its coming.

Last year our state faced the problem of a $5 billion dollar budget shortfall. 

As we continue to spend more money than what comes into the state treasury, 

next year will probably bring us the problem of a $7 billion dollar shortfall. 

No short term fix will solve this long term big shortfall problem. 

• • • • • • • 

To end this problem, support, vote and elect the only Minnesota 

Senate District No. 1 candidate that offers a long term systemic solution.

haying or grazing request must 

be initiated by the CRP participant. 

Prior to approval the CRP 

participant must also meet with 

the Natural Resources & 

Conservation Service to obtain a 

modified conservation plan. 

Conducting activities before 

receiving written approval from 

FSA would be considered a contract 

violation and could result 

in termination of the CRP contract

payments received under the 

applicable CRP contract. 

Emergency haying or grazing 

of CRP can only be released to

counts conducted in 2011, 2012 

survey results showed an average 

decline of 24 to 60 percent, 

to 1.1 drums per stop, in the 

northeast survey region, which 

is the core and bulk of grouse 

range in Minnesota. Drumming 

counts in the northwest 

declined 33 to 73 percent to 0.9 

drums per stop. Drumming 

counts did not change significantly 

in the central hardwoods 

or southeast, which had averages 

of 0.6 and 0.7 drums per 

stop, respectively. 

“The grouse population is in 

the declining phase of its 10- 

year cycle,” said Mike Larson, 

DNR wildlife research group 

leader and grouse biologist. 

“The most recent peak in drum 

counts was during 2009, but 

hunter harvests remained relatively 

high through at least 

2010.” 

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 state’s forested regions. 

This year observers recorded 1.0 

drums per stop statewide. The 

averages during 2010 and 2011 

were 1.5 and 1.7 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. 

Drumming counts are an 

indicator of the ruffed grouse 

breeding population. The number 

of birds present during the 

fall hunting season also depends 

upon nesting success and chick 

survival during the spring and 

summer. 

Minnesota frequently is the 

nation’s top ruffed grouse producer. 

On average, 115,000 

hunters harvest 545,000 ruffed 

grouse in Minnesota each year, 

also 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 


Natural Resources first conservation 

officer academy since 

2008 graduated eight officers 

during a June 19 ceremony at 

Camp Ripley. 

The 12-week academy graduates 

fill eight of 25 vacant conservation 

officer field stations. 

The DNR’s Enforcement 

Division includes 155 field stations. 

"When our recruits finish our 

academy, we know that they 

have received the best training 

available anywhere," said Col. 

Jim Konrad, DNR Enforcement 

Division director. "We pride ourselves 

on selecting the best people 

available and giving them 

the best training in order to provide 

the highest quality service 

possible to the people of 

Minnesota who depend on us for 

natural resources protection." 

Training sessions at the academy 

included confiscations and 

forfeitures; warrants and exceptions; 

emergency vehicle operation; 

self-defense; watercraft 

laws; recreational vehicle safety 

and regulations; game identification 

and enforcement; hazardous 

materials; crime scene 

management; evidence collection; 

and aquatic invasive 

species identification. 

Each of the graduating officers 

was chosen from more than 

800 applicants who underwent a 

rigorous written practical examination 

to qualify for the academy, 

as well as a division interview, 

pre-work screening (functional 

capacity exam), a psychological 

profile and a background 

check. 

The new officers will now 

spend the next 16 weeks field 

training with experienced conservation 

officers to gain on-thejob 

training for natural 

resources management and law 

enforcement-related activities 

harvest. 

One reason for Minnesota’s 

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 63 years, DNR 

biologists have monitored ruffed 

grouse populations. This year, 

DNR staff and cooperators from 

15 organizations surveyed 126 

routes across the state. 

Sharp-tailed grouse 

Sharp-tailed grouse counts in 

the northwest survey region 

decreased approximately 18 

percent between 2011 and 2012, 

Larson said. Counts in the eastcentral 

region declined approximately 

33 percent. 

Observers look for male 

sharptails displaying on traditional 

mating areas, called leks 

or dancing grounds. Despite 

three years of declines, this 

year’s statewide average of 9.2 

grouse counted per dancing 

ground was similar to the longterm 

average since 1980. The 

2009 average of 13.6 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, sharptail 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. 

Long-Term Plan 

A long-range ruffed grouse 

habitat and population management 

plan is now available on 

the Minnesota Department of 

Natural Resources website at 

www.mndnr.gov/grouse. 

“The plan reinforces the 

state’s commitment to ensure 

the viability of ruffed grouse 

and their forest habitat, manage 

grouse as an integral part of 

Minnesota’s forested landscapes, 

and encourage and promote 

hunting and observation of 

ruffed grouse in their natural 

habitat," said Bob Welsh, DNR 

wildlife habitat program manager. 

An average annual harvest of 

more than 500,000 birds over 

the past 25 years places 

Minnesota as one of the nation’s 

top three ruffed grouse states. 

Grouse hunter numbers have 

traditionally followed cyclic 

changes in drumming survey 

indices, but when drumming 

surveys trended upward recently, 

hunter numbers did not follow 

as they had in the past. The 

plan includes strategies to 

reverse that trend by offering 

improved habitat and access, as 

well as programs to help new 

hunters. 

The DNR’s ruffed grouse 

management plan was approved 

earlier this year after public 

comments on the draft plan 

were reviewed and considered. 

“Now that the plan has been 

approved, we can continue to 

implement and accelerate our 

strategies to maintain great 

hunting opportunities,” said Ted 

Dick, DNR grouse coordinator. 

“Those strategies include 

improved access to hunting 

land, better information for 

hunters and education for new 

hunters, and focused input to 

the timber planning process 

that will ensure that grouse 

habitat needs are well-presented 

and considered in all forest 

planning processes.” 

Minnesota leads the nation in 

aspen-birch forest type, the preferred 

habitat of ruffed grouse, 

and offers more than 11 million 

acres of federal, state and county 

land open to public hunting. 

Persons interested in learning 

more about grouse, hunting 

opportunities and available 

online tools are encouraged to 

visit the DNR website at 

www.mndnr.gov/grouse. More 

information, including podcasts, 

more detailed mapping and 

hunter education class 

announcements will be posted 

there as they are developed. 

DNR pins badges on eight new conservation officers 

before receiving their initial 

field station assignment. 

Becoming a conservation officer 

has been a long-time goal for 

former Anoka County Sheriff’s 

Department Deputy Amber 

Peterson. 

“I’m getting the opportunity 

to combine my two passions: law 

enforcement and the outdoors,” 

said Peterson. 

“I’m really excited to get out 

there and be the face of the 


Natural Resources,” said Mitch 

Lawler, a former deputy with 

the Mille Lacs County Sheriff’s 

Department. 

Another academy is scheduled 

to get underway this fall. 

These newest conservation 

officers are Amber Peterson, 

Scott Arntzen, Jason 

Beckmann, Anthony Bermel, 

Napoleon Genereux, Mitchell 

Lawler, Jennifer Mueller and 

Shawn Wichmann. 

Waterfowl hunters and harvest increase 

Minnesota hunters bagged 

more ducks and Canada geese 

in 2011 than in 2010, and more 

waterfowl hunters took to the 

field, too, reversing a downward 

trend, according to the 


Natural Resources. 

"The results are in and the 

numbers moved in a good direction," 

said Dennis Simon, DNR 

Wildlife Section chief. "Duck 

hunter numbers and success 

were up, resulting in an 

increased harvest from 2010." 

Simon said new data from the 

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 

also showed that Minnesota 

ranked first in the nation in 

Canada goose harvest and second 

in the number of active 

waterfowl hunters. 

"The takeaway from last 

year's season is that more 

waterfowl hunters were in the 

field and those who went hunting 

had better success, which is 

a good thing and something 

hunters have longed for," said 

Simon. "It means that the harvest 

was up as well, but total 

duck harvest was still well within 

our long-term historic averages." 

The total duck harvest in 

Minnesota increased 19 percent 

from 2010, from 524,000 ducks 

in 2010 to 621,000 ducks in 

2011. The recent 10-year average 

harvest is 655,000 ducks. 

Mallards were the most common 

duck in hunters' bags, with 

181,000 mallards harvested. 

Mallards represented 29 percent 

of the total duck bag. The 

recent 10-year average mallard 

harvest is 206,000 mallards. 

Wood ducks were the second 

most common duck in hunters' 

bags, with 151,000 harvested in 

2011 compared to 78,000 in 

2010. The recent 10-year average 

wood duck harvest is 

102,000 birds. Blue-winged teal 

harvest was 90,000, ring-necked 

duck harvest was 63,000, and 

green-winged teal harvest was 

37,000. 

Duck hunter success was 8.1 

ducks per hunter per season, 

which increased from 7.5 ducks 

per hunter per season in 2010 

and near the 10-year average of 

8.4 ducks per hunter per season. 

Steve Cordts, DNR waterfowl 

specialist, said the agency made 

a number of regulation changes 

in 2011 that collectively played 

a role in last year's higher harvest. 

"We created additional 

opportunity by establishing 

North and South Duck zones 

and opening the season one 

week earlier than normal. Hen 

mallard and wood duck bag limits 

were changed. Shooting 

hours were changed to one-half 

hour before sunrise on opening 

day," said Cordts. "Breeding 

duck numbers and duck production 

were also very good in 2010, 

which resulted in large numbers 

of ducks present during fall 

hunting seasons." 

Cordts said opening the season 

earlier likely had the most 

impact on increases to duck harvest, 

particularly with the large 

increase in harvest for early 

migrant species like bluewinged 

teal and wood ducks. 

Canada goose harvest 

increased from 189,000 in 2010 

to 239,000 in 2010 and was 

above the 10-year average of 

220,000 Canada geese. About 

100,000 Canada geese were harvested 

during the early 

September goose season. 

The number of active duck 

hunters in Minnesota was 

77,000 in 2011, an increase from 

70,000 in 2010. Minnesota 

ranked second nationally in 

2011 in numbers of active duck 

hunters, trailing only 

Louisiana. "While encouraging, 

this is still lower than the 

100,000 active duck hunters in 

Minnesota as recently as 1999," 

said Cordts. 

Estimates of hunting activity 

and harvest are derived using 

the Harvest Information 

Program (HIP), required for all 

migratory bird hunters. A series 

of screening questions are asked 

of hunters when they purchase 

a license. The screening questions 

are not the harvest survey 

but help to better identify 

migratory bird hunters, who are 

then randomly selected and 

mailed harvest surveys and 

asked to record hunting activity 

and harvest during the season. 

Alme named to

College 

Anna Alme, daughter of 

Randy and Leslie Alme of 

Greenbush, was named with 

high honors to the spring semester 

dean's list at Northwestern 

College in St. Paul. The dean's 

list includes full-time students 

with a grade point average 

(GPA) during the semester of 

3.65 (out of 4.0) or higher. Anna 

is pursuing a degree in elementary 

education and ESL education 

at Northwestern.


Old-fashioned picnic 

to be held Aug. 16 

Picnic baskets, blankets 

spread upon the grass, and 

three-legged races are just a few 

of the memories of picnics from 

the past. Picnics were a time of 

good food, fun and fellowship in 

the sun. 

On Thursday, Aug. 16, the 

Marshall County Historical 

Society staff and volunteers will 

host an opportunity for kids to 

experience an old-fashioned picnic 

with old fashioned games 

from 1:30 to 3 p.m. at Settlers 

Square in Warren. This will be 

an opportunity for young people 

to enjoy games with no wires, 

batteries or Internet connections 

attached. Others who may 

be interested, are also welcome 

to attend. 

Small bag lunches will be 

prepared with half a sandwich, 

some fruit, and a treat. 

However, attendees may want 

to eat their regular lunch before 

they come. This is because the 

group will be eating later, and 

the bag lunch will be more like a 

mid-afternoon “snack” for many 

people.

Altru to offer 

renal dialysis 

in Crookston 

In an effort to increase access 

to care, Altru plans to open a 

renal dialysis unit at Altru 

Clinic in Crookston in early 

2013. Altru Clinic began a 

remodeling project in June to 

provide space for eight dialysis 

chairs. 

“We are thrilled to expand 

our renal dialysis services in the 

region. Doing so will not only 

improve continuity of patient 

care but also help reduce the 

costs by eliminating travel,” 

said Kerry Carlson, administrative 

director of medical specialty 

care. 

With the increasing need for 

dialysis care, patients will 

receive services in the comfort of 

their hometown. Altru’s Renal 

Dialysis offers services in Grand 

Forks and Devils Lake, N.D. 

Recently, a third site was 

opened in Roseau, in collaboration 

with LifeCare Medical 

Center. Altru Clinic in 

Crookston will host the fourth 

site for this growing service.

said that because of a ditch in 

the pool and certain other obstacles, 

it is never fully drawn 

down. It’s just not possible. 

Knutsen said prairie wetlands 

benefit from occasional 

draw down that occur naturally. 

This natural process of drying 

out the ponds actually spikes 

productivity, so drawdowns 

have become a part of the management 

plan at Agassiz. 

There are roughly 26 ponds 

at the Refuge. The large pools 

are in total drawdown every 10 

years, according to a statement 

on the Refuge’s website. 

Some plantlife depends on a 

natural seasonal fluctuation 

and that fluctuation benefits the 

varied vegetation at the Refuge. 

Emergent vegetation, which 

grows along the edges of wetland 

area, helps stabilize bottom 

sediments and provides a 

source of food and cover for 


waste, scrap and energy consumption 

associated with traditional 

welding training. 

Northland offers several 

welding programs at the East 

Grand Forks and Thief River 

Falls campuses. These programs 

prepare individuals for a 

job in the rapidly growing welding 

workforce. 

“Throughout northwest 

Minnesota and the Midwest, the 

waterfowl and furbearers. 

Submersed vegetation, which 

grows underwater, helps filter 

sediment, reduces wind waves, 

stabilizes bottom substrates and 

provides food and cover for fish, 

wildlife and invertebrates. 

Mowry added that if a pond is 

wet all the time, productivity 

actually declines and it isn’t 

good for wildlife. 

Some pools can become so 

rich in nutrients and so supporting 

of dense plant life, that the 

decomposition kills animal life 

by depriving it of oxygen. 

Drawdowns can result in sediments 

with a lower water and 

organic matter content as well 

as decreased turbidity. It also 

oxidizes exposed sediment. 

Another issue for Agassiz is 

the presence of cattails. Cattails 

occur naturally, but managing 

cattails has become difficult at 

best. It is estimated that sometime 

in the 40s or 50s an exotic 

DNR says aquatic invasive species 

violation rates are unacceptable 


Natural Resources has released 

some initial statistics from its 

increased aquatic invasive 

species (AIS) patrol efforts. 

So far this year, the AIS violation 

rate among boaters is 20 

percent. “This rate is unacceptable,” 

said Maj. Phil Meier, DNR 

Enforcement Division operations 

manager. “The majority of 

violations could have been 

avoided if people had taken the 

time to change their routine 

when leaving lakes and rivers, 

and comply with AIS laws.” 

Extra patrols began May 12 

and will continue through the 

summer. 

“Enforcement activities, 

whether educational opportunities 

or issuing citations and 

warnings, are geared towards 

compliance,” said Meier. 

“Enforcement is a primary motivator 

to changing the behavior 

of those who may intentionally 

or unintentionally move invasive 

species.” 

Through June 6, conservation 

officers had worked nearly 3,200 

hours dedicated to AIS enforcement, 

making more than 20,000 

combined law and education 

contacts. During this time, 193 

criminal citations, 463 civil citations, 

975 written warnings and 

267 verbal warnings were 

issued. 

Last year about 850 citations 

or warnings were issued to violators 

of Minnesota’s AIS laws. 

That compares with 293 citations 

and warnings issued in 

2010. 

“We hope these citations, 

warnings and public contacts 

will continue to raise awareness 

that this state looks at invasive 

species very seriously,” Meier 

said. “We will enforce the rules.” 

Under Minnesota law, it is 

illegal to transport invasive 

aquatic plants and animals, as 

well as water, from water bodies 

infested with zebra mussels and 

spiny waterfleas. Violators 

could face fines up to $500. 

Some penalty amounts will double 

beginning July 1. 

To help prevent the spread of 

aquatic invasive species, 

anglers and boaters are 

required by law tod drain bait 

buckets, bilges and live wells 

before leaving any water access; 

remove aquatic plants from 

boats and trailers to prevent the 

spread of invasive species; pull 

the plug on their boat and drain 

all water when leaving all 

waters of the state; keep the 

drain plug out while transporting 

water-related equipment on 

roadways. 

“Once an invasive species 

gets established into our waters, 

it’s very unlikely we can eliminate 

it,” Meier said. “That’s why 

vigilance and prevention are 

critical.” 

For more information on 

aquatic invasive species and 

how to prevent their spread,

need for skilled welders has 

increased dramatically. With 

the increased demand comes an 

increase in the pay scale welding

the airport authority may levy a 

maximum of $200,000 per year. 

However, the Minnesota 

statutes that govern airport 

authorities do not specifically 

place any levy limits on airport 

authorities. 

Hedrick will meet with 

Airport Authority Attorney 

Mike Jorgenson prior to next 

week’s meeting to determine 

what steps need to be taken to 

remove or increase the Airport 

Authority’s levy limit. 

Hedrick is scheduled to present 

the airport budget to the 

Thief River Falls City Council 

on Tuesday, Aug. 21 and the 

Pennington County Board on 

Tuesday, Aug. 28. Both meetings 

are scheduled to begin at 5 p.m. 

Got Pain? 

(non-native) species of cattail 

was introduced in the Refuge 

and that bonded with the natural 

occurring species of cattail, 

which has now overtaken large 

tracts of land in the Refuge. 

Knutsen said the ideal ratio 

of vegetation and water is about 

50/50. Cattails at the Refuge 

now take upward of 75 percent 

of the Refuge. A drawdown at 

this time of the year doesn’t 

allow the cattail time to sprout 

and actually stresses cattails. 

The repair of gates at the 

Refuge is expected to take about 

a month, provided the region 

doesn’t receive any substantial 

rain during this time. Because 

the region is so dry, the rain the 

region received last week was 

quickly absorbed and barely 

registered in the flow. 

Mowry and Knutsen said 

they hadn’t noticed a smell from 

decomposing matter at the outlet. 

They speculated that it is 

possible that when the gates 

were opened that the extra 

water cleaned out stagnate 

pools of water along its route to 

Thief River Falls. 

Knutsen said according to 

their tests at the outlet, dissolved 

oxygen levels were satisfactory. 

When they opened the 

gates, the amount of turbidity 

spiked, but that was anticipated. 

After a couple of days, turbidity 

levels dropped dramatically. 

Mowry said they hadn’t 

received any complaints. 

Voyageurs View Campground 

and Outfitters thanked them for 

the release of water because it 

extended their season.

Recent core samples taken at 

Agassiz pool indicate that over a 

period of roughly 68 years, 1.3 

million tons of inorganic material 

(dirt) has settled in ponds at 

Agassiz. Knutsen said technology 

has allowed them to “fingerprint” 

this material and results 

indicate that it’s not from bank 

erosion, but upstream field erosion. 

Knutsen said more study 

needs to be done to determine 

what sediment is going out. “We 

need to know,” he said. 

Knutsen also noted that several 

efforts are underway to 

reduce field sediment. 

Mowry added that it’s important 

for area residents to know 

that Agassiz doesn’t make sediment. 

The refuge is a flow 

through system just like any 

river or ditch. But, that sediment 

is killing the refuge and 

its pools. Mowry said the average 

lifespan of a pool is about 

100 years. They don’t die on the 

expiration date, but the fact 

that Agassiz has accumulated 

1.3 million tons of sediment in 

this period of time is an issue 

everyone should be concerned 

about. It impacts bird use, 

tourism and many other elements 

of our economy. 

Flood benefit 

Mowry and Knutsen also 

noted one other benefit to the 

fall drawdown. Although the 

pool doesn’t exist to provide 

flood protection, a drawdown at 

this time allows the pool to 

accept more water in the spring. 

And, residents of northwestern 

Minnesota are more familiar 

with the impacts of flooding 

than drought. 

Upland bird hunt offers youth, women 

opportunity to gain experience 

Youth and women who want 

to learn how to hunt upland 

birds from an experienced 

hunter can do so Saturday, Oct. 

20, at a variety of Minnesota 

locations. 

Co-sponsored by Minnesota 

Department of Natural 

Resources, hunt participants 

are paired with mentors from 

Pheasants Forever, Woodcock 

Minnesota and the Ruffed 

Grouse Society. After discussing 

safety, habitat, ethics, scouting 

for places to hunt and securing 

landowner permission when 

necessary, mentors take participants 

to the field for a hunt. 

“These opportunities are for 

those who have a desire to hunt 

but don’t have a mentor to teach 

them,” said Mike Kurre, DNR 

mentoring program coordinator. 

“Participants learn hunting 

techniques, safety measures, 

and how wildlife habitat plays a 

big part in upland bird management 

and hunter success.” 

Parents and guardians must 

accompany youth at all times 

and at all events. 

To participate in the lottery, 

youth must be 12-17 years old 

as of Oct. 20; have earned a 

valid firearms safety certificate; 

possess a small game license; 

and have a parent, guardian or 

adult authorized by a parent or 

guardian accompany them as a 

non-firearms carrying mentor to 

join the youth at a pre-hunt orientation 

as well as the hunt. 

Free small game licenses are 

available to a youth younger 

than 16 at any licensing agent. 

Reduced-fee licenses also are 

available for youth 16 and 17. 

Women 18 and older do not 

need a parent or guardian to 

accompany them but will need a 

valid firearms safety certificate 

or an apprentice hunter validation 

certification, pheasant 

stamp (if pheasant hunting) and 

small game license. 

All applicants must specify in 

which county or area they want 

to hunt, if they are willing to 

travel farther if their choice of 

area is not available and how 

far they are willing to travel. 

Some hunts may occur on 

Sunday, Oct. 21. 

Applications are due Monday, 

Sept. 10. They are available 

online at www.mndnr.gov/discover 

or by contacting the DNR 

Information Center at 888-646- 

6367. Successful applicants will 

be notified via mail or email by 

the end of September. 

The winner’s notice will contain 

specific information about 

hunting license requirements, 

equipment and contact information 

of the hunt coordinator. 

Youth and women winners must 

contact their hunt coordinator 

after receiving their notice. 

Landowners with pheasant 

or grouse-producing property 

interested in allowing youth or 

novice women to hunt on their 

land can help out by contacting 

Pheasants Forever’s Eran 

Sandquist at 763-242-1273.

district is asking voters for the 

authority to keep local tax dollars 

that have already been collected 

in the district to be used 

for capital items and improvements. 

A “yes” vote allows the 

money to stay in the school district, 

where the funds will be 

put in the Capital Improvement 

Fund. A “no” vote would send 

the money back to the 


Education. 

According to information that 

Superintendent Craig Oftedahl 

submitted to the Warroad 

Pioneer, “The district is seeking 

one-day bond authority in the 

amount of $495,000. Because 

Warroad is a capital loan district 

(meaning Warroad is a 

property poor district and used 

state money to build school 

buildings), the one-day bond is 

allowed through a loophole in 

the law.” He noted the one-day 

bond has no impact on the taxpayer 

as the money comes from 

taxes that have already been 

collected in the school district.


Letter to Dave 

Dear Dave, 

Most county fairs have completed 

their run, vacation bible 

school has begun and I just 

brought the first steers in for 

processing. Summer is over. 

Perhaps summer is not completely 

done, but it has taken a 

turn and headed for the barn. 

Dave, I hope harvest has 

gone well out in Carrington, 

N.D., and that the drought left 

something to harvest. We have 

received some timely rain, but 

there is little margin for error 

right now. Small grains have 

largely been harvested, but the 

corn and soybeans are still in 

doubt. Anyone can talk about 

the weather; let's try something 

different. 

Lisa and I have been watching 

the Olympics with some 

interest. There has been such a 

focus this year on the athletes' 

reaction to receiving silver or 

bronze medals instead of gold. 

Oftentimes, these athletes are 

disappointed in their failure to 

win a gold medal and the 

announcers are so surprised at 

their reaction. I like it when 

people are a little disappointed 

when they aren't number one. 

We live in such a non-competitive, 

green participant ribbon 

sort of culture that it's good to 

see some people who still expect 

the best from themselves. 

Honestly, our culture will not 

survive if we find comfort in 

mediocrity. It's good to have 

world-class athletes who remind 

us that to strive for excellence is 

good work. 

I had a quick adventure yesterday, 

Dave. I hauled some culverts 

from Downer. I purchased

the culverts from Randy 

Bjornson. I arrived at eight that 

morning, but Randy and I hit it 

off and talked until 10. He is a 

small farmer who is playing in 

the rather large coliseum of 

agriculture economics, like me. I 

ran down State Highway 9, 

which is kind of forgotten as it 

sits in the shadow between 

highways 75 and 32. It was a 

nice drive and I saw some area 

of the country I’ve never seen. 

Downer has an old potato warehouse 

that has been converted 

into a bar and convenience 

store. It’s rugged and unique. I 

got coffee for a buck, so it was all 

good to me. 

No letter is complete without 

some farm talk. It is said there 

is land for buying and land for 

selling. Most of the fields I see 

lately are made of selling land. 

It is for this reason that I 

always try to get as much as I 

can from the land we already 

own. I recently opened a lane 

through the woods and fenced in 

some trees for extra cattle 

shade. I love building fence. It is 

a pleasure twice over - once to 

build and once to view. In the 

interest of efficiency, I have just 

begun research on growing 

sprouts hydroponically. This 

sounds like an expensive way to 

produce cattle food until you 

consider the price of hay. Also 

the multiplication of a few 

pounds of barley seed by five 

times in one week is reason 

enough to at least read a few 

pamphlets and make some 

phone calls. 

Time always passes quickly 

when I right you letters, Dave, 

and today's time has now 

passed. Tell all hello. 

You're little bro'

DNR offers advice for dealing with storm-damaged trees 


Natural Resources says that 

knowing which trees to save and 

which to remove after a windstorm 

can impact people's safety 

and the survival of their 

remaining trees. 

Information and advice on 

tree care, proper pruning techniques, 

overall tree health, and 

considerations for removing a 

damaged tree are available on 

the DNR website at 

www.dnr.state.mn.us/treecare/ 

maintenance/stormdamage-prevention.html. 

DNR Forest Health 

Specialist Mike Albers offers the 

following tips. 

Things to Do 

n Carefully inspect standing 

trees for damage; deal with hazardous 

trees first. 

n Seek professional help, if 

available, when deciding which 

trees to remove. If more than 50 

percent of the trunk circumference 

or live branches in the tree 

crown are damaged, or the tree 

is leaning with evidence of root 

lifting or breakage, the tree 

should be removed. 

n Watch for detached branches, 

loosely hanging branches, 

and split or cracked trunks that 

could cause injury or further 

damage. 

n Use proper pruning techniques, 

but limit pruning to 

making the tree safe. Incorrect 

or overpruning will further 

damage a tree that is under 

stress. 

n Be careful not to overwater 

damaged or water-stressed

trees – especially in heavy clay 

soils. In dry conditions, trees 

need one-half to one inch of 

water per week during the 

growing season. 

n Use mulch to help conserve 

water in the soil, keep the soil 

cool, prevent soil compaction, 

and encourage more root 

growth. Keep mulch at least 4 

inches away from the tree's 

trunk, maintain a depth of 2 to 4 

inches deep, and cover an area 

at least 2 to 3 feet in diameter 

around small trees. Increase the 

diameter for larger trees. 

Things not to do 

n Don't try to save or repair a 

broken branch or fork of a tree 

with tape, wire, bolts, or other 

wraps. It will not heal and the 

split will invite decay and further 

weaken the tree. Cabling or 

bracing should only be performed 

by a certified arborist 

and inspected annually. 

n Don't top trees - doing so 

removes large portions of leaves 

needed for food production, 

makes tree more susceptible to 

insects and disease, and may 

result in new branches that are 

weakly attached. 

n Don't try to save a leaning 

tree that is more than 15 feet 

tall, especially if the soil has 

been raised on the side opposite 

of the lean. This usually indicates 

broken roots. Very young 

trees less than 15 feet tall may 

survive if they are gently pulled 

back into place. Be sure to press 

out air spaces in the loosened 

soil. Also water the entire root 

system twice each week in the

absence of rain, mulch the tree, 

and carefully stake the tree for 

the first year. Tree staking is not 

usually recommended when 

planting new trees, but is of 

value for a tree that has been 

bent or blown over. To avoid 

damaging the trunk, don't use 

rope, or any narrow band of 

material when staking a tree. 

Instead, use a broad strap or 

other fabric at least one inch 

wide. Date the staking and 

remember to remove it next 

year. 

n Don't panic and remove all 

living, healthy trees. Consider 

the value of these trees for aesthetics, 

property values and 

cooling shade. 

n Don't be rushed by "bargains" 

offered by inexperienced 

vendors. Improper pruning (or 

tree removal) can be expensive 

and damaging, and sometimes 

result in the removal of healthy 

trees. 

n Don't allow the use of 

climbing spikes on a tree that 

will be saved. 

n Don't fertilize damaged 

trees. The tree's root system 

may not be able to support the 

extra growth. 

n Don't use paint or wound 

dressing to cover wounds as 

these materials may actually 

interfere with the natural 

wound-sealing process. An 

exception is using latex-based 

paint to seal the wounds on oak 

trees during the months of May, 

June and July in areas that 

experience oak wilt. 

DNR QUESTIONS & ANSWERS 

Q: Technology has improved 

hunting and fishing, but some 

pieces of equipment, such as cell 

phones and two-way radios, can 

become illegal if misused. What 

is the state law on the use of 

such communications devices? 

A: Using walkie-talkies, cell 

phones, remote control or other 

radio equipment to take big 

game or small game is unlawful. 

People may possess them, but 

cannot use them in pursuit of 

game. 

Also, a DNR permit is 

required to take unprotected 

animals with the aid of radio 

equipment. Weasels, coyotes, 

gophers, porcupines, striped 

skunks and all other mammals 

for which there are no closed 

seasons or other protection are 

unprotected animals. They may 

be taken in any manner, except 

with the aid of artificial lights or 

by using motor vehicle to drive, 

chase, run over or kill the animal. 

Poisons may not be used 

except in accordance with all 

label regulations of the state 

Department of Agriculture and 

federal Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

House sparrows, starlings, 

common pigeons, Eurasian collared 

dove, chukar partridge, 

quail, other than northern bobwhite, 

and monk parakeets are 

unprotected and may be taken 

at any time.
