Final approval of the budget and levy could come as early as next week’s (Aug. 15) Airport Authority meeting, but there is one hurdle to clear. The joint powers agreement that was approved by both the city of Thief River Falls and Pennington County to create the Airport Authority states that VINEYARD & WINERY Free tasting of our award winning wines.

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 (Continued from Page 1) 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 Minnesota Department of 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, please visit: http://www.dnr. state.mn.us/invasives/index_aq uatic.html. need for skilled welders has increased dramatically. With the increased demand comes an increase in the pay scale welding graduates are finding,” said Ralph Williams of Praxair.

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. Pools in danger Primary elections Tuesday (Continued from Page 1) • State Senate District 1 – Jual Carlson, Republican; Steve Nordhagen, Republican; and LeRoy Stumpf, DFL, incumbent • Polk County District 3 Commissioner – Dean Adams, Clayton Briggs, Ray Ecklund, Nick Nicholas and Gerald Reitmeier Tom Carson PT Break Free!

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.

The school 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 Minnesota Department of 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.
Saturday, August 11, 2012 NORTHERN WATCH Page 11 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 Rural Reflections Grant Nelson The comments published in this column are intended to stimulate thinking and discussion among our readers. They are written by independent columnists and do not represent the opinion of the staff or management of The Times/Northern Watch. 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' Truck-weight compliance workshop to be held A truck-weight compliance workshop will be held Wednesday, Aug. 29, from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., at the Polk County Human Service Center, 1424 Central Ave. N.E., East Grand Forks.
