On Thursday, Aug. 8, farm fam-
es from throughout Minnesota
ill gather at Farmfest, an event
eld in Morgan, Minnesota, to rec-
gnize the farm families of the year
one from each of Minnesotas
unties.
Todd Countys family is Mikend Eloise Thorson, vegetable
rmers from Moran Township.
Were very honored, said
loise. Usually its a dairy farmer
hos chosen. Were non-tradition-
farmers vegetable growers.
Mike and Eloise purchased their
20-acre farm in 1972. At first,
they raised livestock and the usual
crops. In 1988, they changed
course, beginning to raise squash
for the wholesale market, and
20,000 free-range chickens deliv-
ered and sold across Minnesota.
Since 2005, the Thorsons have
been raising vegetables and fruits.
They have nine high tunnels, threegreenhouses, and about 20 acres of
vegetable fields. Their products
include sweet corn, tomatoes,
cucumbers, cabbage, potatoes, sev-
eral varieties of squash, sweet pep-
pers, hot peppers, cauliflower, zuc-
chini and the list goes on.
Its important to be as diversi-
fied as you can, said Mike. Then
if one thing fails, you have all the
others. We plant about 20% more
than we need because the deer love
our vegetables and they help them-
selves.
The Thorsons do a lot of the
work themselves, but they also
have help from their son Erik, and
several part-time workers. They
raise all their own plants and
transplant them from the green-
houses and high tunnels using awater wheel transplanter.
In addition to their work as veg-
etable growers, the Thorsons have
other jobs. Mike is on the boards of
directors of Todd Wadena Electric
Co-op, Great River Energy, the
North Dakota Association of Rural
Electric Co-ops, and the Minnesota
Fruit and Vegetable Growers
Association. Eloise is a customized
training representative for Central
Lakes College and has worked with
4-H, Todd County Extension
Committee, Central Regional
Sustainable Development
Partnership, and the Lakes Area
Growers Association.The Thorsons sell their vegeta-
bles in farmers markets around
the area. They travel to St Cloud,
Brainerd, Nisswa, Park Rapids,
and Long Prairie two or three
times each week. They staff some
of these markets themselves, and
others with the help of their son
Erik and other part-timers.
The Thorsons love what they do
and consider themselves lucky to
be providing fresh, healthy food for
people in the area. Most of our cus-
tomers are repeaters, coming back
week after week, Eloise said.
Within the next couple of weeks,
the Thorsons will be setting up a
vegetable stand on the honor sys-
tem in Browerville, in Duanes
Used Car Lot, across from theBrowerville Blade.
The following is the news
release sent from the U of M
Extension
Thorsons named Farm
Family of the Year
Michael and Eloise Thorson
have been named Todd County
Farm Family of the Year
In 1972, after Michael was dis-
charged from the army, Michael
and Eloise Thorson purchased
their 320-acre farm near
Browerville, MN. At the beginning
of their farming career, they raised
livestock and grew traditional irri-
gated crops. In 1988 they began
raising squash for wholesale. Theyalso raised 20,000 range chickens
that were processed and marketed
on their farm. The chickens were
delivered and sold across the state.
Since 2005, the Thorsons have
transitioned to raising vegetables

75Thorsons honored as Todd County Farm Familyof the Year by U of M Extension
A beautiful day for picnics
The Otter Tail County
Sheriff's Department got a call
from a 21-year-old woman
Wednesday night, July 31,
around 9:15 p.m. that gunshots
had been fired at a home just
outside of New York Mills.
Police and EMS say they
found two men with gunshot
wounds. Ethan Honer, 20, was
pronounced dead at the scene
and authorities found Jake
Geiser, 23, unconscious.Geiser was unconscious and
taken to the Wadena Tri-County
Hospital, then airlifted to a hos-
pital in St. Cloud, where he died.
Witness say the 23-year-old
man shot the 20-year-old man
before shooting himself.
Friends say Geiser is the ex-
boyfriend to a woman who,
authorities say, was Honer's
current girlfriend.
There are still a lot of ques-
tions as to who lived in the trail-
er where the shooting hap-
pened, and what the men were
doing there. A 21-year-oldwoman that called 911 reporting
the gun shots at the trailer, but
authorities would not confirm if
she is the girlfriend involved.
Double shooting in New York
Mills still under investigation
Both the Annual Clotho Ice Cream Social and the Todd County Farmers Union Picnic were held on Sunday afternoon. Attendees of both events enjoyed a
eautiful sunny afternoon to enjoy a great meal and visit with friends and family members. Additional photos on page 12.

Library looks for feed-back on open hours
Great River Regional Library(GRRL) wants to know when youd
like to use the library.
The library has posted an open
hours survey on its website, griv-
er.org. Staff want to know:
Which GRRL location you use
the most
Whether you would prefer the
library to be open the same hours
each day or a range of morning,
afternoon, and evening hours
What day(s) of the week you
use the library
Which day of the week you
wish the library was open
What time of day you are
most likely to use the library Which time of day you wish
the library was open
GRRL is the library system that
operates 32 public libraries in
Benton, Morrison, Sherburne,
Stearns, Todd and Wright
Counties. GRRL provides the staff,
materials and technology for
library service; local municipalities
provide the buildings. Open hours
are set by GRRL.
Library open hours range from
20 to 59 hours per week, depending
on activity level and community
size. In general, the libraries in
small communities are open fewer
hours than those in larger commu-nities. GRRL staff review library
use each year, determining not only
the quantity of material checked
out, but also the times of day when
libraries are busiest.
A lot of what goes on at the
library is recorded on our comput-
ers. That information provides a
mine of data we are able to use to
determine how busy we are, said
Karen Pundsack, GRRLs Patron
Services Coordinator. What we
dont know is how many people
might use the library if the hours
changed. We hope the survey can
provide some of that information.
The survey will be availablethrough August. Staff will review
the data and make any necessary
changes for 2014.
Cover Crop/PreventedPlant EQIP Sign-up
NRCS is announcing a 2013
Cover Crop/Prevented Plant EQIP
sign-up through August 16th. This
program offers payments ranging
from $43-$125 per acre on fields
where a cover crop will be planted.
Requirements for this program are
to seed the cover crop this year and
have at least 2 species in the mix.
Our office has various seed mix rec-
ommendations available that havebeen put together to solve different
resource concerns. Eligible acres
can be any cropland acres, not just
prevented plant acres. If you are
interested in cover crops or know
anyone who may be, dont hesitate
to stop by or call the Long Prairie
NRCS before the August 16th
deadline. Our office is located in
the Ag Service Center at 607 9th
Street NE, Long Prairie and we
can be reached via telephone at
320-732-6618 ext. 3.
Why plant a cover crop? Since
late spring planting and prolonged
rain has resulted in many fields
that will go unplanted this year,farmers in this situation should
consider alternate options to
ensure long-term productivity from
this difficult situation. Planting
cover crops has the potential to
capture applied nutrients, fix nitro-
gen, build organic matter, control
weeds, control erosion and improve
soil quality during the remainder
of the season. These benefits can
build considerable yield potential
for the following crops. With the
possible prevented planting pay-
ment and the improved yield
potential following a full season
cover crop, the economic prospec-
tive for the whole rotation could behuge!

Meir Grove CommunityBand at Music in the Park
The Meire Grove Community
Band will perform at Music in the
Park in Staples on Sunday, August
11, at 7:00 PM.
The Meire Grove Community
Band represents a rich history and
tradition that once flourished in
nearly every Minnesota small
town. Located in Stearns County
with a population of only 125 peo-
ple, this small farming communityboasts of having the oldest, contin-
uously-performing community
band in the entire state of
Minnesota. The band was organ-
ized in 1883!
The current director is Vern
Meyer, who is in his 57th year of
wielding the baton. After graduat-
ing from St. Johns University, Mr.
Meyer served as a high school band
director in Bertha-Hewitt and
Melrose until the lure of the land
and a life style called him back to
the family farm.
The members have their family
roots in the predominantly
German heritage of Meire Grove.The love of music that exists
among the band members and in
the community, and because talent
and an instrument seems to
have passed on from father or
mother to son and/or daughter, sis-
ter and/or brother, is an integral
reason for the bands continued
success.
Band membership includes
musicians of all ages (12 to 70+)
who work together to provide qual-
ity band performances. The music
the band performs focuses on tradi-
tional American marches, concert
band pieces and folk music. For
the younger musicians, playingwith a mature ensemble expands
their music education, sharpens
their performance skills and gives
them unique experiences to take
back to their school bands.
The Music in the Park Concerts
are held in the Northern Pacific
(NP) Park on Sunday evenings at
7:00 PM and will run through
August 18. For more information

Northern Pacific (NP) Park is
located at 625 6th St. NE. Turn
north on 6th Street at the junction
of Highways 10 & 210 and go sixblocks. In case of rain, the con-
certs will be moved to Centennial

Some interesting facts about the 1500's
Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May, and they
still smelled pretty good by June.. However, since they were starting to smell, brides car-
ried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor, hence the custom today of carrying a bou-
quet when getting married. Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water. The man
of the house had the privilege of the nice clean water, then all the other sons and men,
then the women and finally the children, last of all the babies. By then the water was so dirty you could
actually lose someone in it. Hence the saying, "Don't throw the baby out with the bath water!"
Houses had thatched roofs-thick straw piled high, with no wood underneath. It was the only place for
animals to get warm, so all the cats and other small animals (mice, bugs) lived in the roof. When it rained
it became slippery and sometimes the animals would slip and fall off the roof. Hence the saying, "It's
raining cats and dogs."
The floor was dirt. Only the wealthy had something other than dirt. Hence the saying, "Dirt poor."
The wealthy had slate floors that would get slippery in the winter when wet, so they spread thresh
(straw) on the floor to help keep their footing.. As the winter wore on, they added more thresh until, when
you opened the door, It would all start slipping outside. A piece of wood was placed in the entrance-way.
Hence: a thresh hold.
Bread was divided according to status..workers got the burnt bottom of the loaf, the family got the mid-
dle, and guests got the top, or the upper crust.
Identify your problems but give your power and energy to solutions. .......Tony Robbins
Penne Pasta with Spinach and Bacon1 (12 ounce) package penne pasta
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
6 slices bacon, chopped
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 bunch fresh spinach, rinsed and torninto bite-size pieces
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the penne pasta,
and cook until tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Place bacon in the skillet, and cook until browned and crisp. Add garlic,
and cook for about 1 minute. Stir in the tomatoes, and cook until heated
through.
Place the spinach into a colander, and drain the hot pasta over it so it
is wilted. Transfer to a large serving bowl, and toss with the remaining
olive oil, and the bacon and tomato mixture.

Damon and the boys stopped over while I was mowing the lawn
last week. Since Id been mowing for a while, the battery Ive been
stealing out of the lawn mower to use on the trolling motor was
charged up. They wanted me to go fishing with them. When the kids
want to go fishing, whats a person to do? I can blame not getting the
lawn mowed on the kids.
We grabbed our gear, pulled the battery out of the mower, and off
we went, trolling the weed beds along the edge of the lake. The after-
noon was unusually cool and pleasant. We all caught a fish or two
and were feeling pretty good about life when Trevor set his hook and
started losing line. His rod was bent over and the reel was scream-
ing as he reeled and his fish ran. I reached around and tightened the
drag on the reel which made his rod bend over more, but he still
made little progress on bringing in the line. Trevor reeled frantical-
ly, keeping the line tight, which
eventually tired the fish. As he
rought it to the side of the boat, Damon helped him land a nice
ive and a half pound bass. Big bass always get released, but not
efore they get their pictures taken. Weve found, if a person
wants bass to eat, the one to two pound ones taste much better.
Big bass are also capable of producing many more offspring than
he little ones. The rule at our lake has become; anything over five
ounds gets released, even if there is a fish fry. Pictures were
aken and Trevor put his trophy back to fight again another day.
A few minutes later, Zane caught a bass that weighed about a
ound or so. Since Trevor had his picture taken, Zane needed a
icture with his fish. He laughed when we told him, not every fish
warrants a picture. I was casting toward the deep water with a
mall green minnow and doing quite well on crappies while the
est of the boat was working the shore with plastic worms and large spinners trying for the big bass.
was catching fish at a rate of about 3:1 to the rest of the boat, but all mine were small. When Damon
or the kids caught one, it would easily make up for several of
mine. Zane yelled, fish on as though we were deep sea fishing,
and I felt the boat start to turn. He had a bass on that was ready
for a fight. It ran toward the deep water pulling the end of the
boat around and swam back under the boat bending Zanes rod
down touching the water. When he was finally able to land the
fish, it was only three pounds, but again required a picture. I
had to agree, a fish that put up a fight like that needed to have
his picture taken. It still had plenty of fight left when he tried to
hold it up for the picture so his dad told him to hold it by the
mouth. Some part of the directions were lost in communication.
Zane put his fist in the large mouth of the large mouth bass,
grabbed its tail, and posed. Perhaps having a fist in its mouth
calmed the fish down because it was still for the picture and
none the worse for the treatment when we turned it loose.
The lawn will always need to be mowed but the boys will not always want to go fishing with their
ad and grandpa. I think we made the right choice to go fishing when we can.
The right choice
By Walter Scott
OMG! I think thats the right acronym, isnt it? Either way, You get my point... I obviously
survived my skydive on Friday. Not only did we survive, it was the single best experience of
my entire life! Next to Jordan and Nicholas being born. Jordan was so excited that as soon
as we got back on the ground we both wanted to get back on the plane and do it again. We
are already planning a second jump, as soon as possible. The only thing that would have made
the experience better is if Nicholas could have jumped with us. We have all agreed we will cer-
tainly do another jump next summer when he turns 18.
The entire experience was enjoyable from start to finish. After checking in you watch a
short safety video, then go through about ten minutes of basic instructions before being suit-
ed up and being introduced to your jump partner. After watching a couple of loads of jumpers
go up and successfully land back at the airport, it was our turn. It takes about ten minutes to
climb to our jump height of 14,000 feet. As soon as you reach the elevation, there is no delay,
the door of the plane opens, and people start jumping out with their instructors. Once out of
the plane, too hard to even explain that sensation, you free fall for 60 seconds, covering 8,500
feet before deploying the chute. When the chute opens you decelerate from 120 mph to about
20mph in about one second. One heck of a jolt. But, as my instructor stated, thats a good
thing, otherwise you have a problem, but you would get to enjoy a little more free fall before
hitting the ground at 120 mph. The remaining 5,500 feet took about five minutes to complete
under the chute, and the view is amazing. All in all I would recommend that if you have ever
thought about skydiving and you are not afraid of heights, do it! Beware though, there is a good
chance you wont be able to stop at just one.....
Well I better cut this short and get the paper done. Glad to be able to.
Aaron.

World Breastfeeding Week / Breastfeeding Awareness Month August 2013Todd County Women, Infants and Children Program and Maternal Child Health Nurses Support Breastfeeding
BREASTFEEDING SUPPORT: CLOSE TO MOTHERS
Minnesota Breastfeeding Awareness Month (August) is celebrated in conjunction with World Breastfeeding Week
hich is celebrated worldwide August 1-7, 2013. The 2013 World Breastfeeding Week theme, Breastfeeding Support:
ose to Mothers, highlights the importance of providing support to breastfeeding families.
Breastfeeding is important for both mother and baby. Human milk is tailored to the needs of the human infant.
esearch shows that infants who are not exclusively breastfed for their first six months of life are more likely to devel-
p a wide range of chronic and acute diseases, including ear infections, diarrheal diseases, asthma, Sudden Infanteath Syndrome, obesity and respiratory illnesses. Mothers also benefit from breastfeeding with a decreased risk for
east and ovarian cancers.
In Minnesota the majority of mothers breastfeed. However many stop breastfeeding earlier than planned, or do not
eastfeed at all, because they face multiple and complex barriers that keep them from achieving their personal breast-
eding goals. Support and encouragement from family, friends, employers, communities, health care and child care
oviders reduces barriers and helps mothers who wish to breastfeed overcome the barriers they do encounter.
WIC staff throughout Minnesota answers questions, help address barriers, provide information to pregnant women
nd assist new mothers in getting off to a great start with breastfeeding. The Todd County WIC and Maternal Child
ealth offers these services to support pregnant and breastfeeding women.
Other sources of breastfeeding support in communities include public health, hospital IBCLCs, La Leche League
nd (insert other support opportunities in your community.) An IBCLC is a certified healthcare professional with spe-
al knowledge and experience assisting breastfeeding families. Mothers can also find a local IBCLC to help them with
eastfeeding questions and concerns by visiting the Find a Lactation Consultant Directory. Both directories can be
und at HYPERLINK "http://www.ILCA.org/"www.ILCA.org .
World Breastfeeding Week is coordinated globally by the World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action (WABA). For more
formation, visit the WABAwebsite at HYPERLINK "http://www.waba.org.my/"www.waba.org.my . To learn more about
reastfeeding in your community, contact your local WIC agency or MCH nurses at 320-732-4458/888-838-4066.
TO ALL THE TRUE PATRIOTS THAT FOLLOW THE CENTRAL MINNESOTA TEA PARTY PATRIOT'S -AN UPDATE ON THE EVENT STARRING BRIGITTE GABRIEL, JULY 29TH:
The report on the event we held at the Little Falls Community High School was that it was totally awesome! It was
such a huge success that we filled the auditorium to capacity; unfortunately, the fire marshal had to make the call to
turn some away because of this (maximum of 650)! A nice problem to have, but I am so sorry and apologize to those
who were not allowed to attend! Only 5-7 protesters, unlike what we were expecting. he City and Law Enforcement
were prepared and they did a fantastic job - everyone, including our speaker, felt very comfortable and safe with their
presence! I feel the School Superintendent, Mr. Stephen Jones, and his staff should be commended for what they did
to make the event happen, and making sure we understood and stayed within their policy guidelines!
The message Brigitte brought was powerful and expressed with such warmth and love for our country and we need
not take it lightly or our freedoms will disappear and our country will be destroyed from within! She spoke of the
Education Program ACT! for America. Please go to their website and find out more about it! We need to monitor whatis being taught in our schools to see what and how they are teaching our impressionable children! And, I have to say,
her tribute to the Veterans was a smashing finish! I doubt there was a dry eye in the place! I received a note from a Vet
stating that in his last 50 years, no one has ever given such a tribute! I was told by someone else that it meant just as
much to their spouses - they were beaming too and so proud of their men and women!
I may have gotten this event going and coordinated it, but you know it just does not happen by itself. This is a mes-
sage about teamwork on how the surrounding tea party groups, conservative groups, and many others all worked
together on this - everyone emailing and forwarding, etc. to spread the word. The volunteers just dug in and did what
needed to be done so everything ran smoothly. Our tea party group has a goal to EDUCATE, MOTIVATE, AND ACTI-
VATE and, even if I have to say it myself, this event was first class! We were all proud to have such a first-class speak-
er to our community!
Out shortly will be information on our next community meeting for August 12th featuring a speaker, Gary Hukreide,
formerly of Eagle Bend, and Founder of Sylvan Learning Centers, on Common Core Curriculum. What do you know
about the national education program (one size fits all) that our President wants in effect within 24 months? This is an
event that Superintendents, Teachers, School Board members, parents, and concerned citizens all need to attend!
Information on this coming soon - share it when it comes out.
Thank you all,
Nancy Judd on behalf of Central Minnesota Tea Party Patriots

Loren Miller, Chairman
DNR offers livestock
producers emergency
haying on 43 WMAsA severe livestock forage
shortage has prompted state
wildlife managers to identify 922
acres on 43 wildlife management
areas (WMA) in 22 Minnesota
counties where emergency hay-
ing will benefit wildlife, the
Minnesota Department of
Natural Resources (DNR) said.
Haying opportunities on state
wildlife management areas will
only occur where habitatenhancement plans already are
in place to disturb grasslands
through burning, mowing or
grazing, said Bob Welsh, DNR
wildlife habitat program manag-
er. The DNR is glad to help live-
stock producers during a time of
need while long-term wildlife
habitat conservation and
improvement remains the pri-
mary goal.
Because of a forage shortage
due to winter kill of alfalfa and
the late spring, Gov. Mark
Dayton in June sent a letter to
U.S. Secretary of Agriculture
Tom Vilsack asking that all fed-eral conservation lands in
Minnesota be considered as
potential sources of emergency
forage. He also asked state offi-
cials to identify similar grazing
and haying opportunities on
state conservation lands where
consistent with the purpose of
those lands.
The conservation grazing
opportunities are located
throughout Minnesota where
haying could be allowed and
would accomplish habitat conser-
vation management objectives.
Identified sites include areas in
need of prescribed fire where
burns were not accomplished;
areas where haying or mowing
can be done sooner than original-
ly planned; and areas where hay-
ing can replace or enhance other
planned grassland disturbances
such as mowing or grazing.
Welsh said wildlife managers
were not able to identify any
other conservation grazing
opportunities beyond those
already planned because of the
limited time and lack of existing
infrastructure such as fencing
and water supplies.
Only Minnesota livestock pro-
ducers who need forage for their
own livestock are eligible to cut
hay on WMAs. Counties withpotential sites include Blue
Earth, Clearwater, Cottonwood,
Faribault, Fillmore, Goodhue,
Houston, Jackson, Kittson, Le
Sueur, Marshall, Martin,
McLeod, Mille Lacs, Nicollet,
Olmsted, Otter Tail, Roseau,
Sibley, Wabasha, Wilkin and
Winona.
Availability of haying opportu-
nities was delayed to August to
get beyond the peak wildlife
nesting season. Specific condi-
tions will vary depending on con-
servation needs of a site but, gen-
erally, sites will not be hayed
after Sept. 13; areas hayed willnot contain tree plantings, food
plots, water control structures,
wetland basins or stream banks;
and cutting should begin in the
center of the area to be hayed so
animals have an escape route.
Livestock producers have
until Friday, Aug. 9, to contact
area wildlife managers about
emergency haying opportunities.
Contact information for area
wildlife managers by county is
available at
http://files.dnr.state.mn.us/fis
h_wildlife/wildlife/wildlife_man-
agers.pdf.
Online learners offered
field experience at Aug.
11 deer clinicThe Department of Natural
Resources (DNR) invites women
and men who have completed
Minnesotas new virtual online
firearms safety certification range
and field day to attend Deer Day on
Sunday, Aug. 11.
Deer Day is a great complement
to the new online adult hunter edu-
cation course and virtual field day.
Deer Day provides hands-on expe-
riences with a variety of firearms
and basics of how to hunt deer.
The event, hosted by the DNRs
Becoming An Outdoors Family pro-gram, will be from 9:30 a.m. until
3:30 p.m. on the Wilkens Farm
near Mora in Kanabec County.
Youth, ages 10 and older, are wel-
comed to attend accompanied by a
guardian.
The deer hunting clinic is an
excellent opportunity for individu-
als who chose the virtual range and
field day option to have one-on-one
time with instructors to handle
firearms, target shoot and and gain
insights into deer biology and hunt-
ing. said Linda Bylander, coordi-
nator of the DNRs Becoming An
Outdoors Woman program.
Though open to all ages 10 andolder, this hunting clinic places a
premium on assisting women and
families in a supportive and friend-
ly environment.
Register for the deer clinic by
emailing Linda Bylander at
linda.bylander@state.mn.us.
Registration is limited. Lunch
will be served.
The virtual online firearms
course takes about nine hours to
complete and is interactive with
narration, quizzes and final exam.
Information about the course and
other safety classes is available on
the DNR website at
www.mndnr.gov/safety.
By Rin Porter, District One Commission Member
and Vice Chair
The Todd County Planning Commission held a public hearing onThursday, Aug. 1, at 7 PM at the Historic Courthouse in Long
Prairie. Fifteen members of the public attended.
Present were Commission members Jim Pratt, Mike Wiener,
Lloyd Graves, Gene Irsfeld and Rin Porter; Board liaison
Commissioner Rod Erickson; staff members Linda Bleess, secretary,
and Tim Stieber, Director of the SWCDD.
Three items were on the agenda. The results of the public hear-
ing were as follows:
1. Angelo Smieja, application for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP)
to operate an internet auction site in an existing building located in
Section 8 of Round Prairie township, in a Rural Townsite zone on
U.S. 71. The Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of
the CUP to the county board with three conditions.
2. Willliam Swartzentruber, application for a CUP after-the-fact
to operate a commercial sawmill in an existing building and to
expand the building, and to establish a temporary housing unit for
family members in an existing building. The commission voted torecommend approval of the CUP to the county board with eight con-
ditions.
3. Charles Anderson, request to accept an Environmental
Assessment Worksheet (EAW) review and findings of fact for the
creation of a 14-lot residential subdivision on the west side of Fairy
Lake in Section 29 and Section 20 of Kandota Township. The
Commission voted to recommend a negative declaration for an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to the county board. (A
negative declaration means that an EIS is not required.)
The next meeting of the Planning Commission will be held on
Sept. 5 at 7 PM at the Historic Courthouse in Long Prairie.
