Murder is rare in Todd

County. According to Sheriff

Don Asmus and Investigator

Scott Dirkes, there have been

only two murders in the last fiveyears.

But on Aug. 22, 2013, Craig

Williams was arrested and

charged with second-degree

murder in the death of his ex-

wife Nancy Elaine Williams at

her home in Round Prairie

Township, earlier that day.

Ms. Williams died as a result

of blunt force trauma, according

to the Sheriffs Office. Deputies

were called to the home earlier that day for a domestic distur-

bance. Nancy Williams went to a neighbor and said her ex-hus-

band, Craig Williams, was threatening her. She then returned home

and was later found dead.

On March 17, the date set for an Omnibus Hearing, Williams

attorney Matt Holson of St Cloud waived the Omnibus Hearing andentered a plea of not guilty by reason of mental illness on Williams

behalf, before Judge Sally Robertson in Todd County Court. The

State of Minnesota was represented by Eric Schieferdecker,

Assistant Attorney General, who prosecutes murder, drug, and

implied consent cases in the Seventh and Ninth Judicial Districts.

Williams was brought to court from the Todd County Jail by

Sheriff Don Asmus and a bailiff. Williams has been in jail on

$2,000,000 bond since his arrest last summer.

Schieferdecker asked for the release of Williams medical records,

including the prescreening report, the court order for a psychiatric

examination, all attachments, and the examiners report from

November 2013, as well as records produced in 2005 when Williams

was previously committed for psychiatric treatment. He told Judge

Robertson, We have received nothing so far [from the defense].

Were entitled to everything.

Schieferdecker said he would be filing a motion with the court

according to Rule 20.02 of the Minnesota Rules of CriminalProcedure, to have Williams examined at the Minnesota State

Hospital at St Peter.

Holson told the judge that the only defense contemplated for

Williams was the mental il lness defense.

Williams appeared in court dressed in an orange jail jumpsuit. He

was quiet throughout the brief hearing, speaking only in one-word

answers when the judge addressed him, saying Do you agree, Mr.

Williams? and Do you understand, Mr. Williams?

Judge Robertson will consider Holsons motion, and if it is grant-

ed, she will appoint an examiner to conduct a mental examination

of Williams and issue a report to the court within 60 days.

The next court appearance for Craig Williams will be set for a

date in June.

495 motoristsarrested overSt. Patricks Day

weekendExtra DWI patrols for St.

Patricks Day weekend resulted in

the arrest of 495 motorists for DWI,

according to preliminary reports

from Minnesota law enforcement

agencies.

As of 9 a.m. Monday there were

420 arrests, with an additional 75

arrests between 9 a.m. Monday and

6 a.m. Tuesday morning.

Officials with the Department of

Public Safety (DPS) Office of Traffic

Safety say the arrest count will rise

as additional DWI arrest informa-

tion is submitted to the agency.

Driving drunk puts the driver

and everyone else on the road in

danger, says Sgt. Jesse Grabow of

the Minnesota State Patrol. There

is no reason to get behind the wheel

when you have had too much to

drink. Always plan ahead for a

sober ride.Each year, alcohol-related crash-

es account for one-third of the

states total traffic deaths.

Preliminary numbers show there

were 390 traffic deaths and 25,426

motorists are arrested for DWI

statewide in 2013.

To-date in 2014 is off to a deadly

start. There have been 58 traffic

deaths, four more than this time

last year.

Tips to Prevent Drunk Driving

Plan for a sober ride desig-

nate a sober driver, use public trans-

portation or a taxi cab.

Make plans to stay at the loca-

tion of the celebration.

Offer to be a designated driver

or be available to pick up a loved one

anytime, anywhere.

Buckle up the best defense

against a drunk driver.

Report drunk driving call 911

when witnessing impaired driving

behavior. Be prepared to provide

location, license plate number and

observed dangerous behavior.

About the MinnesotaDepartment Public Safety

where 2,100 employees operate pro-

grams in the areas of law enforce-

ment, crime victim assistance, traf-

fic safety, alcohol and gambling,

ing, vehicle registration and emer-

gency management. DPS activity is

Successful irrigationscheduler program

In 2013 the Todd, Wadena,

and Hubbard Soil and Water

Conservation Districts

(SWCDS) teamed up to hire an

Irrigation Technician to coordi-

nate an Irrigation Scheduler

Program in those counties. This

Irrigation Scheduler Program is

coordinated out of the Wadena

Soil and Water Conservation

District (SWCD) office. In its

first season on the ground, thir-

teen producers signed up twenty

fields for the program in the

three counties. With the 2014

growing season just around the

corner, we look to add on to the

success of the 2013 growing sea-

son by adding fields to the pro-

gram in 2014.

For those that have never

heard of the Irrigation Scheduler

Program, its based off the same,

very successful program offered

by the East Otter Tail SWCD

located in Perham. Through the

process of irrigation water

scheduling, Wade Salo our

Irrigation Technician is able to

help producers to determine how

much water is needed to keep

their crop healthy throughout

the growing season by calculat-

ing the evapotranspiration (ET)

rates for each of the major crops

grown in the area.Each day during the growing

season, plants take up water

through their roots and some of

that water is transpired through

small openings on the plants

leaves. In addition, moisture is

lost through evaporation from

the soil surface in the field. The

term evapotranspiration (ET)

describes the sum of these two

processes. During very hot and

windy periods, it is possible for

ET amounts to be equal to a

quarter inch of rain in just one

day. Irrigation can replenish the

supply of water to the plant

when natural rainfall comes up

short. To efficiently apply irriga-

tion water, irrigators need ET

data and an estimate of the

moisture available in the soil

profile.

With ET estimates, updates

from producers on weekly rain-

fall and irrigation amounts, and

a weekly site visit to the field to

check soil moisture, the techni-

cian is able to provide a chart to

the producer showing where the

soil moisture levels are at, and

how much time before they

should think about watering

again. When used properly this

program can save farmers money

by preventing crop loss due to

insufficient moisture, prevent

leaching of fertilizer due to over

application of water which protects

ground water, and reduces energy

and running cost by preventing

over watering of crops.

If interested in signing up or

would like more information about

the Irrigation Scheduler Program,

contact Wade Salo at the Wadena

Soil and Water Conservation

District. The number is 631-3195

ext 4. More information can also be

found at the Todd County SWCD

office in Long Prairie or at the

Hi all,

Yesterday area exchange students and families traveled to the Target Center

in Minneapolis for the Timberwolves game against the Phoenix Suns. My oldest,

Zac, and our exchange student, Morten, were to meet us in Brainerd by 8:30 am.

After many failed attempts to reach them via phone calls and texts, we planned

to go without them and let them pout about it later. Eventually one of them called

us back and they made it to Brainerd an hour late. I intentionally told them the

early time for this very reason. All worked out in the end and we were on the road

with enough time to get to the game.

I had never been to a

Timberwolves game and had a great

time. We arrived two hours early

and were escorted to the first few

rows of seats to watch the team

warmup. Of course Rubio and Love

are favorites among the fans. Rubio

spent the most time on the court

warming up and was so much fun to

watch. Extremely talented man.

Once we were done watching

warmups we headed up to our sec-

tion for some food and to get to our

seats. You spend a small fortune

there on food and drinks but that is

to be expected. We bought t-shirts

too. Gotta have a souvenir.

The game was great and Crunch the mascot was inches away from us several

times - getting the crowd on their feet. In the end the wolves were defeated in the

final minutes but we enjoyed the experience. On our way home we stopped in St.

Cloud at 5 Guys Burgers & Fries for supper. None of us had been there before.

Fantastic service and good burgers. I will visit there again. It was a long fun filled

day and I would definitely do it again.

Stacey

Letter from the Country

It has come to my attention that a number of people in the area have received mailings from a

business calling themselves US PATRIOT SERVICES. The flier says IMPORTANTACT NOW,

and lists a number of FREE services. With a little research it seems that this business recently

sold an urn to a Lakeland Veteran for about four times what it was worth, and has had some legal

problems due to their misleading business practices.

The Free items mentioned in their flier are actually burial benefits available to veterans through

the VA, and not only do they not expire, but cannot be provided prior to your death, so there is no

need to act now. For example, the chosen memorial marker (head stone) includes the date of

death and will not be issued without that date. The MN Veterans Cemetery in Little Falls, does have

a form that can be filled out with the pertinent information for the Veteran and their spouse. It is also

a good idea to record your discharge/ DD214, at Todd County, or at a minimum let your loved ones

know where this important document is kept. This helps ensure things go smoothly when a burial

site is needed.

If you are pre planning your funeral arrangements, I recommend that you start with a local,

trusted funeral home. Dont be afraid to ask questions and shop around. If you think the quoted

price is too high, be wary and compare prices.

If you are overwhelmed by the cost and options, you can also take the easy way out! Donate

your body to science. You would have to enter a contract and sign documents releasing yourself

to the institution of your choice, upon death. There is no cost to you, the institution does all the coor-

dination with the funeral home and your family will get back the cremated remains. If you have

questions about donating your body to the University of Minnesota call 612-625-1111. For other

schools, look up your preferred school and contact them.

Nothing in this article is intended to be offensive, rather informative. If you are over 50, I rec-

ommend that you take some time to sit down and discuss not only your funeral plans but also your

desires related to finances, real estate and end of life care, with your loved ones. Sometimes things

change very quickly, and it is always best to have a plan. If you have any questions related to VA

burial benefits, (or any VA benefits) give us a call!! All of our services are free of charge and have

been for about 70 years.

der. The road has a shoulder, but traffic still has to move over to center line. It looks very

unsafe. I have watched traffic flash their lights and honk their horns, but they keep doing it.

What is the rule of the road in this case? I know it would be a lot safer if they just pulled into

heir driveway and walked to the mailbox, but that doesn't work in a "me-me" society. Note:

hey pull into the oncoming shoulder.

Also, while driving home the other night, a car was turning left into a driveway. I was the

hird car behind the turning car. I slowed and moved a little onto the shoulder. The two cars

n front of me passed on the right of the turning car. The truck that was behind me could not

get pass me and was livid! Honking and yelling and flying the bird. I felt bad to slow him down

but I know better than to pass on the right. Was I in the right to block shoulder of the road?

Thank you.

Answer: You cant lawfully drive over the center line (the wrong direction) for any reason

except to make a safe and legal pass. If there is a crash, there is going to be trouble, for sure.

t would be a lot safer (though technically not legal) if it was on a dead end road out in the mid-

dle of nowhere, or on a cul-de-sac or similar, but we see this being done on hills and in no-pass-

ng zones!

For the passing on the right part of your question, you can be over to the right of your lane,

but if you are stopped and are parked on or over the white fog line (marking the shoulder), then

you could be liable if in a crash. Worse yet, you could get hit and injured or killed (along with

someone else). We advise not to do that. Passing on the right is against the law unless theres a lane providelike a bypass laneor if you are driving on a multi-laned highway. A driv-

er can never use the shoulder of a road (paved or unpaved) or a turn lane for passing on the

right. It is safe, and not legal, so we are asking drivers not to do that.

Black ice/blow iceQuestion: Dear protector of humanity, first of all, thank you for the awesome job you folks

do. You are appreciated! I have a husband that refuses to believe there is such a thing as black

ce. Could you clarify and hopefully make a believer out of an individual who could possibly

be a crash waiting to happen? Thank you very much!

Answer: Thank you for those very kind words. Ive been called a lot of things in this profes-

sion, but that one is a first and I truly appreciate it. I would be glad to talk about black ice

and, as I write this (early March), I think its fair to say we have enough unpredictable weath-

er that could affect our roads. Here is my best definition of black ice: A nearly transparent film

of ice on a dark surface, such as a paved road, that is difficult to see. With my nearly 16 years

of service with the Minnesota State Patrol in northern Minnesota, I can assure you that it does

exist. Its rare, because I believe almost all ice is visible due to the sheen it puts out. A personsvision and attentiveness could be the issue, along with the sun and other visibility factors.

Another term that is used in our parts of this great state is blow ice. Troopers and

motorists have been dealing with this for the past two days (March 5 and 6) in west central

Minnesota. I would describe this as, when the wind blows snow across the road, either warmer

emperatures or vehicle tires (or both) cause it to melt and freeze quickly, becoming ice. Just

another way we get slippery roads without freezing rain.

Both issues are reminders to always pay attention. Evaluate your drive as you move along

and immediately reevaluate it. Drivers must focus and concentrate on driving. End your win-

er on a safe note and continue it all year long!

Work zone crashesQuestion: Once in a while I hear about safety in work zones, like road construction zones,

and we all drive through them a lot, thats for sure. How many workers are actually hurt or

killed in them in Minnesota and how many crashes are there in work zones, do we know real-

y?

Answer: Yes, we do know! At the end of 2013 I saw some statistics that you are asking

about. The Department of Public Safety reports that, in the past five years, there were 11,485

work zone crashes, resulting in 4,833 injuries and 54 fatalities (including two worker deaths).

The 2013 data is preliminary so, as data continues to come in, these numbers could go even

higher.

The problem with work zones is that too many drivers are not paying attention and they are

driving too fast. When you see cones, barricades, barrels, signs, work trucks, etc., you need to

slow down immediately and start reading the scene. You may have to reduce your speed

greatly or switch lanes, or even stop. Most drivers wait until the last second to take action

and thats too late. You need to be looking ahead and watching for all kinds of hazards.

As spring and summer approaches, you will see more and more work zones as you travel.

Be careful, pay attention and slow down.

If you have any questions concerning traffic related laws or issues in Minnesota, send your

questions to Trp. Jesse Grabow Minnesota State Patrol at 1000 Highway 10 West, Detroit

Lakes, MN 56501-2205. (You can follow him on Twitter @MSPPIO_NW or reach him at,

TIGER SCHOOL NEWSTigers finish

season with

school record

of 23 winsBy Coach Middendorf

Browerville 50 Minneota 77

Browerville fell behind early

and could never recover as they

bowed out of the 2014 State Girls

Basketball tournament with a 77-

50 loss to Minneota.

The Tigers matched buckets

with the Vikings at 2-2 but

Minneota went on a 11-0 run in the

next five minutes, highlighted by

the inside presence of Taylor Reiss

13 points. Browerville turned the

ball over a number of times in the

first couple of minutes and the vet-

eran Viking squad seized theopportunity. Reiss finished with 22

points in the first half and the

Tigers went into the halftime break

trailing 35-22. Quinn Kircher and

Crystal Pearson combined to score

15 points in the first half to help

keep the orange and black within

striking distance. Kate

Middendorf and Kale Knutson

each knocked down long range

three-pointers as well to aid the

first half scoring.

Browerville cut the lead down to

nine points early in the second half

on a pretty alley-oop play from

Kendra Buchta to Knutson.

Knutson then added a steal and a

bucket to close the lead but nine

points was the closest the Tigers

would get. Browerville had no

answer for Reiss down in the paint

as the junior 2,000 point scorer fin-

ished with 40 points in the game.Pearson connected on 15 more

points in the second half to finish

with a team high 23 points includ-

ing 13 of 18 at the free throw line.

Paige Callahan scored six of her

seven points in the second half

while Knutson added five more

points in the second half to finish

with eight points. Buchta ended

the game with one bucket good for

two points. Browerville finished 17

of 30 at the free throw line while

Minneota countered with a 10 of 16

performance.

Browerville finished the 2013-

2014 season with an overall record

of 23-6. The Tigers graduateCandra Gould from this years

team. All-Conference honors went

to Crystal Pearson, Quinn Kircher,

and Paige Callahan. All-

Conference Honorable Mention

was awarded to Kendra Buchta

Cool weather does not

mean strong iceAs snow continues to melt, the

Minnesota Department of Natural

Resources reminds winter recre-

ationists that ice in the Twin Cities

metro area is deteriorating rapidly.

While we have had temperatures

in the 20s or 30s that does not mean

the ice on a lake, pond or river is

safe, said Kara Owens DNR boat

and water safety specialist.

Right now the ice around themetro is in the melting stage and

thickness levels vary from area to

area, she said.

Many metro area lakes are still

ice covered, but both the Mississippi

and St. Croix rivers have open water.

The recent snowfall does not

mean safe ice either. Snow weighs

down on the ice and insulates the ice,

preventing cold air from getting

through.

So far this winter (November to

April), two people have died from

falling through the ice or in open

water compared to six ice fatalities

last winter (2012-2013).

On Jan. 23, a 38-year-old ice fish-

erman died after he broke throughthe ice on the Minnesota River in

Scott County.

Less than a month later, on Feb.

15, an ice fisherman died after

falling into open water inside his

spearfishing house on Maple Lake in

Polk County.

The bottom line is its crucial

that people do not let their guard

down and recognize ice is never 100

percent safe, Owens said.

ATV operators - steer

clear of road ditches in

the agricultural zoneWith warm weather on the way,

many all-terrain vehicle (ATV) riders

are anxious to hit the trails, but the

Department of Natural Resources

reminds riders to be aware of riding

restrictions in some parts of the state

due to wet conditions or closures.

Between April 1 and Aug. 1,

Minnesota law prohibits ATVs from

riding in ditches in the agricultural

zone, that is, the area of the state

south of a line that runs roughly

from Moorhead to Taylors Falls

along Highway 10 and Highway 95.

The area roughly covers the south-

ern half of the state.

During these four months, ATV

riders need to stay out of the road

ditches completely in the agricultur-

al zone, Lt. Leland Owens, DNR

recreational vehicle coordinator said.

In addition to the law prohibiting

ATV use, those road ditches provide

some of the only nesting habitat

available in places.

The ATV restriction does not

apply to grant-in-aid trails or to

ATVs registered and used exclusive-

ly for agricultural purposes.

Owens said that in addition to

potentially disturbing wildlife, ATVs

in wet road ditches can cause erosion

problems and even, in some cases,

damage the roadbed itself.

As they do each spring, the DNR

will need to temporarily close some

state forest roads and trails to ATVoperators due to wet conditions.

All off-highway vehicle riders are

encouraged to check on trail condi-

tions and temporary closures before

planning riding trips to prevent

damage to forest roads and trails.

Trail condition information is

available at www.mndnr.gov

(www.dnr.state.mn.us/current_con-

ditions/index.html) or by calling the

DNR Information Center at 651-296

6157 or toll-free 888-646-6367. The

DNR will also post signs at entry

points and at parking lots in state

forests.

New gardening event,plant swaps

Plant and Garden swaps are a

way to diversify your vegetable

garden, or landscape, without

cost. The idea started with swap-

ping seeds but gradually grew

into an opportunity to trade all

kinds of plants, plant materials,

and garden supplies. Typically

these are free events with few

rules. Just prepare, or dig, your

garden surpluses and bringthem to trade according to your

wishes.

But, prepare well ahead. You

can start with an inventory of

your garden extras. Outdoor or

indoor plant cuttings are a ready

resource especially if you include

written instructions on their

care. Seeds are easily collected,

but label them very precisely by

variety and description. You can

later divide these into postage

envelopes for trading purposes.

Of course, if you are good at

starting plants youre in luck

because strong seedlings will be

popular for trades. You may evenhave mature plants you need to

remove from the house, or some

which must be thinned from the

garden. Finally, be aware that

gardening supplies are also

included. Extra gardening tools,

pots, books, soil amendments,

even garden ornaments can be

good swapping material.

Watch for these opportunities

any time of year. For this region

there is a Spring Plant and

Garden Swap coming on May

31st which will run from 10 AM

to 2 PM at Green Island on the

north edge of Wadena. The spon-

sor is the Wadena Garden Club

and you can get more informa-

tion from a garden club member

or by emailing rscheer@char-

ter.net .
