Eagle Valley Elementary School wins national award


By Rin Porter At their Oct. 10 meeting, the Eagle Valley School Board learned from Dean of Students Duane Motzko that Eagle Valley Elementary School is one of eight Minnesota schools and 305 schools nationwide to be named a National Blue Ribbon School for 2011. The U.S. Department of Education will honor the 256 public and 49 private schools at an awards ceremony Nov. 14-15 in Washington, D.C. According to the U.S. Department of Education website (www2.ed.gov/programs/ nclbbrs/index.html), the Blue Ribbon Schools Program honors public and private elementary, middle, and high schools that are either high performing or have improved student achievement to high levels, especially among disadvantaged students. Eagle Valley Elementary School was chosen for its improved student achievement, Motzko told the board. "America's long-term economic prosperity and civic engagement depends on our children receiving a world-class education," said U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan. "National Blue Ribbon Schools are committed to accelerating student achievement and preparing students for success in college and careers. Their success is an example for others to follow." The National Blue Ribbon Schools Program, honors public and private schools based on one of two criteria: 1) Schools whose students are high performing. These are schools ranked among each state's highest performing schools as measured by their performance on state assessments or, in the case of private schools, that score at the highest performance level on nationallynormed tests; or 2) Schools with at least 40 percent of their students from disadvantaged backgrounds that improve student

Peggys Potpourri
A mathematics major with a higher than average IQ estimated at 130, and seemingly normal in every other way, was referred to a brain specialist because his head seemed a bit larger than normal. The brain specialist was amazed to find that the student had an extreme case of hydrocephalitis, also known as "water on the brain." His brain cavity was mostly filled with fluid, not neurons. The cortex, the main thinking part of his brain, was merely a coating one twenty-fifth of an inch thick on the inside of his skull! In one large city a telephone operator traced the source of an emergency phone call because the caller would not speak. The phone only emitted unusual noises. When the ambulance crew arrived at the scene, they found a basset hound who had dialed 911 in the process of chewing up the phone. Americans drink three million gallons of orange juice per day. We drink over fifteen million gallons of beer daily. This means that on average, Americans drink five times more beer than orange juice. Very important for those in Los Angeles: If you herd more than 2,000 sheep along Hollywood Blvd, you're breaking the law. And, while you're at it, don't drive your car along Hollywood Blvd. more than twice in four hours. That, too, is illegal. In 1976, doctors in Los Angeles went on strike because of the rising cost of malpractice insurance. All elective and non-emergency surgery and medical attention were canceled. During that time, 18 percent fewer people died than usual. In Mexico we have a word for sushi: bait....Jose Simons Correction--The record for the biggest pumpkin ever grown was 1810.5 lbs.

Harvest season is in full swing and farmers in every corner of the state are out using the highways, said Sue Groth, state traffic engineer. Motorists need to be prepared to encounter slow-moving farm vehicles, especially on rural, two-lane roads. Farm equipment is large and heavy, making it hard for operators to accelerate, slow down and stop. The machines also make wide turns and sometimes cross over the center line. In addition, farm vehicles can create large blind spots, making it difficult for operators to see approaching vehicles. All of these factors can cause serious crashes. During 2008-2010, there were 433 traffic crashes on Minnesota roads involving at least one farm vehicle, resulting in 15 fatalities and 218 injuries. Of the 15 fatalities, five were farm vehicle riders; of the 218 injuries, 65 were farm vehicle riders, according to the Department of Public Safety. The leading contributing crash factors in farm equipment/vehicle crashes are inattention, speeding and unsafe passing, Groth said. When approaching farm equipment, motorists should slow down and use extreme caution. MOTORISTS ARE ALSO URGED TO: Watch for debris dropped by trucks hauling sugar beets and other crops and remember, it is safer to brake or drive through debris than to veer into oncoming cars or off the road. Wait for a safe place to pass. Wear safety belts. Drive with headlights on at all times.

Conservation Corps Minnesota accepting applications for 2012 program year


Conservation Corps Minnesota, which provides hands-on environmental stewardship and servicelearning opportunities for young adults, is accepting applications through Dec. 2 for 150 AmeriCorps field crew leader and member positions in Minnesota and central Iowa for the 2012 program year. All projects are completed on public land in cooperation with nonprofit organizations and government agencies like the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR). These opportunities provide technical field experience and professional certifications for future natural resource careers. Many current DNR employees got their start in natural resources with the Conservation Corps (formerly Minnesota Conservation Corps). Corps members, ages 18 to 25, receive on-the-job training in natural resource management and work on habitat restoration projects. Typical project work includes exotic species management, prairie and oak-savanna restoration, stream bank stabilization, trail building and maintenance, prescribed burning, GPS/GIS mapping and wildland fire suppression. A crew member or leader position involves physically challenging, team-oriented work to accomplish habitat restoration and emergency response projects. Projects are usually completed outdoors and about 70 percent of them involve camping near the project location. Applicants should have an interest in working outdoors in a team set-

No regrets
term effects from it. This is something that rarely happens, so I would say its safe to follow Trevors conviction. Zane, at eight years old, feels anytime anybody is going fishing, he should go along. He doesnt have the patience for long spells of inactivity but a person can never tell when the fish might be biting. Trevor, Zane, and I set out two bank poles for catfish, grabbed the rest of the tackle, and jumped in the boat. The day was unusually warm for October. A stiff breeze was blowing, keeping the temperature comfortable but creating large waves on the lake. A small Jon boat is not designed for open water, especially when its powered with only a trolling motor. We let the wind carry us along the edge of the lake as we dropped lines off the side of the boat, not bothering to reel in our lines unless we had a bite. The loud announcement of fish on was heard several times by the time we drifted to the dam. Trevor caught several crappies and a small bass. Zane caught a big bass and I caught nothing while trying to keep the boat going in a straight line. Before we blew onto the dam, I managed to turn the boat into the wind and we fought our way back toward the other end. Halfway there, we passed a dead branch sticking up out of the water. I told Trevor to grab the branch and tie the boat to it. He snugged up the line and we stayed in one place for the first time since we had left the dock. I finally had a chance to do more fishing than boating. Dropping a small plastic grub straight down from the boat was all it took to get a crappie. Trevor and I caught several fish by letting the lure drift down among the branches of the submerged tree. Zane was still after the big bass. He refused to change lures and the bass would not bite in the trees. Before long, he put up his fishing rod and stretched out on the live well. The waves rocked the boat in a steady rhythm that almost put him to sleep. The occasional outburst of fish on from his brother was the only thing to keep him from having an afternoon nap in the middle of the lake. When Trevor had finally had enough fishing, we bounced the waves back to the dock. The boys bailed out and checked our bank poles, which each had a catfish. From a few hours spent on a Sunday afternoon, we had enough fish for a couple meals and a bunch of quality time together. Im sure well have no regrets for taking time spent enjoying the outdoors together.

A letter from the country


Dear friends, Wind, wind, and wind. I love fall. Really, I do. I love the cooler weather and the hunting and fishing opportunities that come with fall, I just dont remember most years being this windy! It makes it hard to get out and enjoy the days before the snow falls, which we all know will come soon enough. This past weekend I opted to miss pheasant hunting, too windy anyway, and meet my brother Ethan and his wife at my mom and dads to cut some fire wood. All in all it was a good day, except for the fact one large oak tree I dropped, fell in the wrong direction. It didnt hit anything, it just fell into the middle of a prickly oak patch that made getting it out a little more of a challenge. I can feel the effects of running the chain saw all day, though. MEA is this week, and I may try to take a day or two to take Nicholas to the cities for some sort of an adventure. Well see what we end up doing. I cant think of much else at the moment, we are working on the paper right now, so I think I am going to turn this over to Peggy. I will write again later. Aaron Hi-I hear cooler weather is on the way, but hasnt this been a warm fall? I still have flowers blooming around the outside of my house and in a large pot in the yard--and I havent covered anything. I dont remember ever have petunias, geraniums, and marigolds blooming this late before. And as for not covering them, well lets just say between my bum knee and laziness, I just didnt do it, but sure do enjoy the bright colors around the house. I guess that will be coming to an end soon as we are bound to get a hard frost. Then it will be time to put away the pots and lawn furniture for the year. It always looks so bare when everything is out of the yard, except for the massive amounts of leaves that is. With all this wind weve been having there isnt a leaf left on the trees. The maple tree Sonny bought me for my birthday was green after all the oaks had turned, and then one day--it was all red. Overnight it changed and in a few days it was bare. But it sure was pretty while it lasted. I love maple trees, they are my favorite and every time I looked at it with its crimson leaves I appreciated the gift all over again. Im taking a few days of vacation this week and Sonny and I are heading to Duluth to a Bible Conference. We go every year and always look forward to it. We enjoy the different speakers, meeting new people, and catching up with old friends. However, this year I am a little concerned about my ability to get around and spend long days at the conference, especially being on my feet or sitting without being able to put my leg up to give my knee some relief. I have been hoarding my pain medication in anticipation of needing it more often while we are gone, so have really been suffering some of the past few days; and not always silently as Sonny well knows. I have been spending much of my home time on the couch with my leg resting on a pillow, and the dust bunnies under the bed and other large pieces of furniture are evidence of house cleaning neglect. I am trying to encourage a granddaughter to give up part of one MEA day to come over and do some housework for me while we are out of town. I would love to come home to a tidy house; especially since I am having knee surgery the 26th and our cattle round up the 29th. Lots of folks are coming to help, and they all need to be fed. Thankfully my sister has graciously offered to come early that Saturday morning and help get the food ready and served. I hope that also means staying for the clean-up!! But, the plan is for my knee to be pain free by Thanksgiving. We plan a non traditional meal of many varieties of pizza at Kates and on Friday will be fixing a huge traditional meal at our house for Sonnys side of the family. It seems that everything revolves around food doesnt it? Painfully your, Peggy

By Walter Scott The grandsons wanted to come to Grandpa and Nannas house Sunday morning. Thats a good thing. Grandkids keep grandparents young and active, even on days they dont want to be active. There were times when I was young, I wanted to go fishing or hunting, but nobody had time to take me. I want to always make sure my grandsons have somebody who will take time for them when they want to be outdoors. At eleven years old, Trevor has the philosophy, a person cannot do too much fishing. Its hard to argue with such a belief. Excessive amounts of almost anything can be harmful, but I have never heard of anyone ruining their life or damaging their health from fishing to much. One day I did make my arm sore reeling in too many fish, but there were no long

Letter to the Editor


An Apology for Public Safety!
An eye opening (ears included) encounter last week has shown me the error of my ways and for that, an apology from me is in order. I was informed by a spokesperson for the leaders of this county (Commissioners, County Administrator, County Attorney, Department Heads and other leaders of the County and various city leaders) that there is no public safety problem in this county except for what I have created and if that is the case, I apologize. I was further informed by the spokesperson for all of the above, that any accidents involving buggies have been the fault of distracted motor vehicle drivers and not because buggies didnt have slow moving vehicle signs or reflectors or lights as required by state law. I was informed all the buggies are in full compliance of the laws. I was further informed that horse crap on the roads is not an issue; it is the farmers who dump dirt from the fields and manure from the pits and barns on the road that is the problem. Again, for that mis-conception on my part, I apologize. It was brought to my attention that horse crap on the streets and in the store parking lots is a blessing because they are shopping and that keeps this town and county alive. I was informed we, who drive motor vehicles, always drive out of the area (Wadena, Little Falls, Alexandria, Sauk Centre and St. Cloud), but the buggies do business in town and that is saving our town. Now that I have been informed of the facts, according to the official spokesperson, I apologize for the error of my ways in thinking we had a public safety problem. I thought the animal drawn vehicles were not in compliance with state law and the horse crap on the roads, streets and parking lots was a violation of littering laws but the official spokesperson informed me how wrong my thinking was so I guess I also need to apologize to those 140 people who signed the petitions because of their concerns. I had a very enlightening and informative meeting with the official spokesperson for the leaders of this county and the Sheriff was noticeably angry at me for claiming to be concerned about public safety when he knows that I have a vendetta against the buggies and that is my reason for being involved. I actually thought enforcement of the laws would improve public safety but he told me that is not what I am concerned about so now I know. I apologize for wanting to make Todd County a better place for all of us by improving public safety. I was informed that when those additional 300 families come, Todd County will be better off because they will shop here and those of us who drive our loud, fast motor vehicles will go out of the county to shop we need to be extra careful not to cause accidents on the roads with all the extra buggies we cant see after dark! The official spokesperson for the leaders of Todd County was extremely forceful in his approach so I apologize again and I am done trying to improve public safety so all you people who said you were concerned, good luck, be very careful and watch out for that Todd County Official Spokesperson! Dan Schilling Long Prairie PS- I applaud the public safety concern demonstrated by the Long Prairie Police Chief. Its refreshing to actually enjoy a conversation with a dedicated public servant.

When the delisting takes place, management of the species will become the states responsibility. Sen. Franken, in a letter to Secretary Vilsack, said the gray wolf population has grown from near extinction to more than 3,000 animals in Minnesota and they now pose a threat to citizens and livestock unless they are actively trapped and managed. Federal funding to manage the population in Minnesota ran out on September 30, but USDA agreed to extend funding until the the end of 2011. If the gray wolf is not taken off the Endangered Species List by then, funding to manage the population will dry up, leaving Minnesotans and livestock herds vulnerable. "I thank you for your recent action to extend funding for three months, but urge that you maintain this funding beyond that time until the gray wolf is delisted from the Endangered Species List," Sen. Franken wrote to Secretary Vilsack. Until the gray wolf is delisted, the (USDA) trapping program remains a crucial tool for wolf population management...and helps maintain the livelihoods of hundreds of our farmers and livestock producers.

Homecoming Football 2011


By Ashley Olson and Karina Sovich To end our ever so fun Homecoming week, the football boys played the KMS Fighting Saints. Friday our senior boys hosted a pep rally; the senior girls made the boys do an obstacle course to prove how tough they really are! The game started off a little rough, our boys werent playing to their full potential. The boys really got their stuff together by half time, making the score 14 to 0. During halftime the band preformed a tremendous half time show! Complete with the band forming a 70s, a dollar sign, a high heel shoe, a drum complete with a stand, and the band danced to our finale Dynamite! Thank you Mrs. Schorn! For the last half of the football game, our boys really got their stuff together! They were doing a lot better in the second half; ending the game with a 34-13 score. Another win! Great job boys, and please keep this winning streak going! Next the boys face New York Mills. Good Luck!

Homecoming Volleyball 2011


By Ashley Olson and Karina Sovich Tuesdays game we played the Upsala Cardinals. The volleyball girls did very well out on the court, They stuck together and played as a team. Were proud of the girls effort out there. The first match was off to a rough start, when Coach Irsfeld called a time out. She had some inspiring words, I wouldnt be looking at the score right now, I would be looking at how great you guys are working as a team. Megan Kruzel, Abby Aksamit and Bree Ludwig were having some blocks. Teal Line had some great sets and digs, but the Tigers didnt come out on top for this match. Another match was underway, and the Tigers had the energy to win, but unfortunately, the Cardinals had more. Katelyn Middendorf with some nice sets for all the hitters, such as Rachel Perish and Bree Ludwig. The Tigers also had some great blocks by Heidi Sticha and Abby Aksamit. The third match was played well by all the girls, Haley Piotrowski and Andi Buhl had nice hits. MaKenna Hegseth, Teal Line and Megan Kruzel all had nice digs. Again the Cardinals came out with the win. Our girls played very well, and Thursday they play the Eagle Valley Rebels, in Clarissa. Hope to see all you followers there and cheering the girls on. Good Luck girls!

Tigers go 1-1 in Prairie Conference match ups


By Coach Irsfeld The Browerville Tiger volleyball team went 1-1 this week in two Prairie Conference match ups. On Tuesday the Tigers hosted the Upsala Cardinals losing 0-3 (525, 13-25, 18-25). The Cardinals have a well-disciplined team with some key weapons and minimal ball handling errors. The score seemed to just get away from us. We weren't playing that poorly. We were just playing. Out of 109 attacking attempts we had 18 kills and 18 errors. The setting stats were very similar. We have to do more than keep the ball in play. We have to put the ball down with either a more aggressive attack, an off-speed to a hole, or an ace tip. Brianna Ludwig had 9 kills, 15 digs, and 5 blocks, Katelyn Middendorf had 10 set assists, Megan Kruzel had 13 digs, Abby Aksamit and Heidi Sticha added 4 and 3 blocks respectively. Thursday the Tigers traveled to Clarissa to take on the Eagle Valley Rebels. The Tigers won 3-0 (25-16, 25-22, 25-15). The second game almost got away from us. The team kept battling and made some good choices to finish with a win. In practice we've been focusing on our offensive attack. Being more aggressive, setters and hitters knowing when to run a quicker offense, and better communication. We were able to build on that in this match with some good communication, smart setting, and aggressive hits. Ludwig led attackers with 10 and diggers with 14, Aksamit and Andi Buhl each had 5 kills, Makenna Hegseth had 13 digs, and Middendorf had 13 set assists. The Tigers host Staples-Motley Monday and travel to Swanville on Tuesday. GO TIGERS!

Boys sweep over New York Mills Eagles


By Coach Petermeier Browerville 8 - 7 - 13 - 8 = 36 New York Mills 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 = 0 Browerville traveled to New York Mills Friday night and were very methodical with their offense. NYM got the opening kick-off and gained first down runs of 2, 7, and 2. The Tiger defense clamped down and forced a punt. The Tigers ran an 11 play scoring drive capped off by a Seth Kellen two yard plunge. The Tigers converted the two point conversion with a Seth Kellen pass to Kyle Petermeier and took a lead of 8 - 0. NYM again went three and out and were forced to punt but held on a fake punt that turned out to be a 13 yard pass pick up and gave NYM some life. The Tiger defense was up for the challenge and stopped the Eagles after three plays. We got the ball back and ran one play to finish out the quarter. We ran 18 more plays on this drive. A holding call took away a great run by Ben Dreher and backed the Tigers up to third and goal from the 14 yard line. A pass attempt on third down sailed high to the receiver and we were faced with a fourth and goal from the 14. We decided to go for it and a good call from one our receivers on a play he thought might work did as Mitch Heid lofted a perfectly thrown ball to Kyle Petermeier in the back of the end zone. Heid put the ball where only Petermeier could get it and Kyle went up and made a nice grab on fourth down. Seth Kellen kicked the extra point and the Tigers took a 15 - 0 lead. NYM ran eight plays and the second quarter would ended. The second half was much of the same as the Tigers got the opening kick-off and Trenton Wollenburg went for 14 yards, Heid 2, Dreher 2, and then Dreher got a crease from our offensive line and went 46 yards for the score. Our next possession was a little different as we had a loss from our QB and a missed pitch on the option that scooted out of bounds eight yards back. We were lucky to get the ball back as it just rolled out of bounds before an Eagle swooped in to pick it up. A few positive running plays by Wollenburg and Dreher set up a Seth Kellen scramble to have enough time to find Petermeier for a 30 yard TD hook up. This time Petermeier had to make a couple of moves and dash for the pylon to score. The Eagles got the ball back and three plays later Petermeier intercepted a pass and the Tigers were in business again. After a few plays the third quarter came to an end. The Tigers were on the move and after a few first downs both teams started to sub down. Eventually Jackson Pollak had a fantastic run from the QB position and scampered down the sideline for a 45 yard score to end the scoring. On offense, our lineman, were the key again as we were able to have two very long and time consuming drives in the first half. We ran an 11 play scoring drive and a 19 play scoring drive and only had one penalty. Our backs ran hard and low. This sometimes keeps them from the long run. Trenton Wollenburg missed last week with an injury and he ran like he was mad all night long. His pad level is what coaches dream of. Dreher ran with players hanging on him all night long but his leg drive was

unreal. When your backs run that hard the linemen really like to block for them and they did that. I could not be happier with how we blocked. Again, this week, we had an injury in the line and sophomore Jake Gaida stepped in and did an outstanding job. The Tigers rushed for 321 yards. Wollenburg had 69, Dreher 160, Kellen 30, Mackenzie Asmus 7, Adam Sutlief 10, Benton Johnson 2, and Jackson Pollak 45. Heid and Kellen went 5 for 9 combined for 61 yards. Petermeier grabbed 4 of those for 51 yards and Mackenzie Asmus grabbed one ball for 10 yards.

Defensively were played very well. We gave up a total of 46 yards rushing and 55 passing on the night. Of those 55 passing yards 42 came on a screen pass that was perfectly thrown over the top of our "D" linemen's outstretched hand. He read it but being vertically challenged got in the way. The other 13 yards was on the fake punt. Petermeier and Wollenburg each had an interception to stop Eagle drives. With the win the Tigers were able to clinch the Prairie Conference South Championship outright.

state. It is federally funded through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The program helps customers earning less than 50 percent of the states median income ($43,050 for a family of four) obtain grant money to help pay their heating bills. The average annual EAP grant per household is about $400. Households with seniors, disabled residents and children are especially encouraged to apply. Many Minnesota families struggle financially with heating costs in the winter, said Commerce Commissioner Mike Rothman. EAP provides critical assistance during the winter months to those who need it most, when they need it most. The Minnesota Department of Commerce also administers the Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP), which is funded by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). The program provides cost-effective conservation measures to save energy costs for low income households. Customers who meet the income guidelines for EAP may be eligible for Weatherization. Both homeowners and renters may apply for Weatherization. Other forms of assistance may be available through county social service programs, community based organizations and non-profit agencies such as the Salvation Armys Heat Share. The Minnesota Department of Commerce Energy Information Center provides a wide range of energy saving information that every household can use to help control their heating costs. Energy saving recommendations include: Seal attic bypasses. The Attic Bypass Guide from the Energy Information Center will help you locate and fix leaks inside your home that allow heated air to escape into the attic. Turn down your thermostat to 65 while at home and 55 or 60 when away or asleep. Replace your old furnace with a new, efficient model. Look for the ENERGY STAR label on all new appliances. Replace or clean furnace filters monthly during the heating season. Place window film on the interior of the leakiest windows in your home. Install a carbon monoxide alarm. Call your utility about having a home energy audit and ask about a budget plan to spread out your heating costs over several months. Keep radiators and duct registers clean. Call, write or email for our Low Cost-No Cost Home Energy Guides that contain many ways to help control energy costs all year long.

Minnesotans encouraged to apply for heating assistance


It was 70 and 80 degrees in many parts of the state in October. Despite the unseasonably warm weather, Minnesotans know all too well that it wont be long before the temperature drops and furnaces all over the state start kicking in. With winter just around the corner, Commerce Commissioner Mike Rothman and PUC Chair Ellen Anderson encourage Minnesota families who may have trouble paying their heating bills to contact their local utility company right away to set up a payment plan. COLD WEATHER RULE Minnesotas Cold Weather Rule takes effect this Saturday, October 15. The Cold Weather Rule was established to protect residential utility customers from having their heat shut off through April 15, if they contact their utility to set up a payment plan. The Cold Weather Rule is a critical safeguard for the elderly, disabled, and most economically vulnerable people in our state, said Public Utilities Commission (PUC) Chair Ellen Anderson. Keeping Minnesotans warm, safe, and healthy is essential during our states bitterly cold winters. Working out payment plans under the Cold Weather Rule will keep the heat on for Minnesota families who are facing real financial challenges during this difficult time. The Cold Weather Rule is administered by the PUC. Households who need to reconnect their heat for this winter should call their utility company now to take advantage of these payment options. Most utilities offer bill payment options that help financiallystressed household budgets balance out their utility payment amounts over several months. Minnesota consumers using delivered fuels such as fuel oil, propane or wood to heat their homes are not covered by the Cold Weather Rule. LOW INCOME HOME ENERGY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM & WEATHERIZATION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM Additional heating assistance programs available to Minnesotans include the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program, known as the Energy Assistance Program (EAP) in Minnesota, and the Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP). The Minnesota Department of Commerce administers the LIHEAP program in partnership with 36 local service providers throughout the

Making Your Smile Blossom www.longprairiedentalclinic.com Fear the deer - deadly autumn road hazard
The Minnesota Department of Public Safety (DPS) Office of Traffic Safety reminds motorists that the deer breeding season and crop harvest activity are the primary factors for increased deer movement during the autumn, resulting in a danger to motorists especially motorcyclists. There were 7,751 deervehicle crashes reported to DPS during the last three years, 20082010. More than one-third of those crashes took place in October and November resulting in 19 deaths, of which 15 were motorcyclists. The crashes also resulted in 65 serious injuries, of which 57 were sustained by motorcyclists. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) estimates the states deer population is one million. MOTORIST SAFETY TIPS: Buckle up, drive at safe speeds and pay attention be especially cautious during dusk and dawn when deer are more active. Dont veer for deer swerving can cause motorists to lose control and travel off the road or into oncoming traffic. Bringing a vehicle to a controlled stop and hitting a deer is safer than swerving. MOTORCYCLIST SAFETY TIPS: Avoid night and low-light riding periods (dusk and dawn) when deer are more active. When encountering deer, use both brakes to stop. If riders cannot stop in time, swerve carefully and slowly around the deer if there is space. If a collision cannot be avoided, keep head and eyes up to improve chances of keeping the bike up. Wear protective gear, especially a DOT-approved helmet. Drive focused and defensively by looking for reflecting deer eyes and silhouettes, especially during low-light times, and in forested and farm areas, says Lt. Eric Roeske of the Minnesota State Patrol. Deer do unpredictable things, like stop in the middle of the road, or cross and quickly recross. Sound your horn to urge the deer to leave the road. If a deer is struck by a vehicle, but not killed, DNR officials suggest for safety reasons to keep a distance from the animal. However, if a deer remains onsite, or poses a public safety risk, report

the incident to a DNR conservation officer or other local law enforcement agency. Any Minnesota resident may claim a road-killed animal by contacting a law enforcement officer. An authorization permit will be issued allowing the individual to lawfully possess the deer.

More than 400 unbelted deaths over the past three years
EXTRA SEAT BELT ENFORCEMENT CAMPAIGN LAUNCHES TO SAVE LIVES
Minnesota motorists will experience a heightened, statewide enforcement effort of seat belt and child passenger safety laws from Oct. 1427 during a Click It or Ticket campaign aimed at increasing seat belt use and saving lives. Minnesota Department of Public Safety (DPS) Office of Traffic Safety reports 409 unbelted traffic deaths and 814 unbelted serious, life-altering injuries in the state during 20082010. Deputies, officers and troopers are asking motorists to be the main enforcers of the states primary seat belt law by speaking up to encourage others in the vehicle to buckle up. It may not be the easiest thing to tell someone what to do, but its a lot easier than dealing with the consequences, says Lt. Eric Roeske of the Minnesota State Patrol. Our goal is to not write tickets, its for motorists to make safe choices to limit these preventable tragedies. Seat belts must be worn correctly low and snug across the hips; shoulder straps should never be tucked under an arm or behind the back, which is unsafe and illegal. Of the 932 vehicle occupants killed during the last three years in Minnesota, only 45 percent were belted and more than half of those unbelted were ejected from the vehicle. Unbelted motorists can slam into and injure or kill others in the vehicle, while in less violent crashes, unbelted motorists will often crack teeth out on the steering wheel or break their nose. The primary seat belt law requires passengers in all seating positions, including the back seat, to be buckled up or seated in the correct child restraint. Officers will stop and ticket unbelted drivers or passengers. The campaign will also include enforcement of Minnesotas child passenger safety law which requires children to use a booster seat starting after they have outgrown a forward-facing harnessed restraint (typically 4060 pounds, depending on seats weight limitations). Children should remain in a booster until they are age 8 or 4 feet 9 inches tall whichever comes first. It is recommended to keep a child in a booster based on their height rather than age. Boosters help adult seat belts fit children correctly. To-date in 2011 there have been 261 traffic deaths compared to 323 at this time in 2010. Seat belt enforcement and education efforts are a component of the states core traffic safety initiative, Toward Zero Deaths (TZD). A primary vision of the TZD program is to create a safe driving culture in Minnesota in which motorists support a goal of zero road fatalities by practicing and promoting safe and smart driving behavior. TZD focuses on the application of four strategic areas to reduce crashes education, enforcement, engineering and emergency trauma response.

Waterfowl hunting success still a good bet as cooler weather moves into Minnesota
Those who have not yet hunted waterfowl this fall shouldnt fear that the ducks have passed them by, according to Steve Cordts, waterfowl specialist for the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR). The seasons best waterfowl hunting could be on its way, with conditions becoming ducky as cooler, wetter weather moves in. Cordts noted that while clear skies and warm weather have kept some local ducks around, they also have kept migrant ducks hanging farther to the north than usual. The warm weather delayed duck migrations early in the season, Cordts said. But with the colder weather, hunting should improve as the number of migrating ducks grows. There are some good hunting opportunities now; hunters just need to scout a little more or look in nontraditional areas. So far, duck hunting success has been fair across the state, Cordts said. Blue-winged teal, wood

ducks, mallards and ring-necked ducks have dominated hunters bags, but that will begin to change. Additional migrant ducks are starting to move in, Cordts noted. Green-winged teal, wigeon, gadwall, shoveler, pintail and a few scaup are now present. Most early migrants, such as blue-winged teal and wood ducks, have moved south, but hunters can look for ring-necked duck numbers to peak soon. Canada goose numbers remain good in many locations. A few snow geese are present in northwestern Minnesota. HOTSPOTS IDENTIFIED As for state hotspots, Thief Lake Wildlife Management Area in extreme northwestern Minnesota is always a good bet later in October, especially for diving ducks, according to Cordts. Areas in and around Tamarac National Wildlife Refuge near Detroit Lakes can be good in October, especially for ring-necked ducks. Otter Tail County is always a good bet for diving ducks. Farther south, Big Stone County features a mixed bag of mallards, other puddle ducks and geese. Southwestern and southern Minnesota can provide good late hunting for mallards and Canada geese, especially in fields. Mallard

numbers are highest near the North Dakota and South Dakota borders. The Upper Mississippi National Wildlife Refuge in extreme southeastern Minnesota is often a good choice in late November for a mix of diving and puddle ducks. Canvasbacks typically peak in this area during the first week of November. GOOD OPPORTUNITIES With the teachers convention weekend approaching, Cordts said hunting opportunities abound. There is great opportunity in the mid to latter part of the season for hunters to see good duck numbers, said Cordts. I encourage those who havent been out yet or have been discouraged with the warm weather to grab the gun, load up the dog and hit the water. Or try some field hunting for ducks and Canada geese. Crop harvest is progressing rapidly and many of these fields are attractive to fieldfeeding waterfowl. The North Duck Zone (north of Highway 210) is open through Nov. 22 for ducks and through Dec. 17 for geese. The South Duck Zone (south of Highway 210) is open through Nov. 27 for ducks and through Dec. 22 for geese. As of Oct. 9, legal shooting hours are one-half hour before sunrise to sunset. Hunters should refer to the waterfowl hunting regulations booklet or visit www.dnr.state.mn.us/hunting/wat erfowl for more information. Licenses and stamps are available at about 1,500 electronic license agents throughout the state, including sporting goods stores, hunting and fishing supply stores, and some discount chains. They can also be purchased online at www.mndnr.gov or by phone at 888-665-4236.

Eagle Valley, continued


performance to high levels as measured by the school's performance on state assessments or nationally-normed tests. Each school must be nominated by a top education official in the state where it is located. The school then submits an application to the U.S. Secretary of Education for consideration as a National Blue Ribbon School. Members of the Eagle Valley School Board congratulated the teachers and staff of the Eagle Valley School District for this achievement and their constant dedication to student success. The 2011 National Blue Ribbon School award is the second time that Eagle Valley Elementary has been so honored. The school first won this award in 2004. A celebration is being planned for the community. The school board discussed whether it would be possible to send a school official and a board member to the awards ceremony in Washington, D.C., but came to no decision. Other Minnesota schools winning the 2011 National Blue Ribbon School award are Atheneum Elementary, Inver Grove Heights, Battle Lake Elementary, Battle Lake, Brandon Elementary, Brandon, Highlands Elementary, Edina, Randolph Elementary, Randolph, Viking Elementary, Viking, and West Central Area South Elementary, Kensington.
