y Rin PorterThe Browerville City Council

eld a public hearing on Aug. 8 to

xplain the proposed U.S. 71 recon-

ruction project to city residents

nd business owners. Twenty-

ght people attended the meeting

the Browerville Community

enter beginning at 7 PM.

Engineers from Bolton & Menk,

Inc., the engineering firm hired bythe city, and from MnDOT, took

turns going over the details of the

project, as best they could so early

in the planning process.

Mayor Mike Aksamit and City

Administrator Lynn Fabro helped

to lead the meeting and answer

questions. Engineer Kent

Louwagie from Bolton & Menk pre-

sented a short slide show. A list of

property owners, their properties,

and preliminary estimates of the

assessments that would be charged

for the city improvements, along

with a summary of the project,

were available to all who attended.

Louwagie has worked with the

city on three previous projects,

according to Fabro. All the projects

were carefully planned, with no

need for change orders. The costs

he estimated were very accurate.

The city of Browerville is consid-ering a project that would involve

complete reconstruction of the

street and utilities along U.S. 71

through town. The proposed proj-

ect extends from Drayer Creek on

the south end of town to Harris

Creek on the north end. Also

included are 5th Street, from the

alley west of U.S. 71 to Railroad

Avenue, and the alley east of U.S.

71 from 4th St to 5th St.

The project would be performed

under a cooperative agreement

between the city and the

Minnesota Department of

Transportation (MnDOT). MnDOT

will design the storm sewer, street,and sidewalks on U.S. 71. The

citys engineers, Bolton & Menk,

will design all sanitary and water

main improvements, street

improvements on 5th Street, and

the improvements of the two alleys.

Two clay pipe sewer mains that

cross U.S. 71 will be replaced, and

the cast iron water main from 1st

St to 8th St will be replaced.

Where a water main is replaced, all

hydrants, valves, and water service

connections will be replaced.

The plastic water pipes and

plastic sewer pipes will not be

replaced.

All street surface, curbs, and

sidewalks on U.S. 71 and on 5th

Street (in the project area) will be

removed and replaced. The new

sections of U.S. 71 in the downtownarea, from 4th St to 8th St will be

reduced in width from the present

64 feet wide, to 56 feet wide, to

allow new sidewalks to be con-

structed to meet current state and

federal standards. The rest of U.S.

71 will remain at 52 feet wide.

The new area of 5th St will be 48

feet wide with curbs. The alleys

will be 18 feet wide.

In addition to sidewalks and

street surfaces, street lights along

U.S. 71 will also be removed and

replaced. MnDOT will contributed

a fixed amount of money for the

new lighting. The Browerville City

Council will select the style and

pole height of the new lights and is

responsible for the remaining cost

not paid by MnDOT.

The estimated cost of the entireproject is $3,527,970. Of this

amount, the city would pay

$972,370, and the state would pay

$2,555,600.

About $300,000 of the citys

costs would be assessed against

property owners, with the remain-

Local residents learn the scopeof U.S. 71 project

By Rin Porter

At the Aug. 6 meeting, the Todd

County Board of Commissioners

processed a number of routine

issues, but at the end of the meet-

ing, things got heated.

Board Chair Randy Neumann

had added a new item to the agen-

da, to be discussed at the end of

the published agenda, regarding

the hiring of a consulting firm to

help prepare the 2014 countybudget.

When Neumann brought up the

subject, he reported he had con-

tacted a firm called KDV (Kern,

DeWenter, Viere, Ltd, Certified

Public Accountants in

Minneapolis), and received a quote

of $12,000 for three weekswork by

an accounting consultant to pre-

pare the countys budget. The

work needs to be done immediate-

ly, because the board is required to

set the countys preliminary prop-

erty tax levy by Sept. 15. The

property tax levy is one of the

main sources of county income.

Neumann appeared to be tryingto provide a way out of the budget

disarray left by the departure of

Hundreds of bicyclists

to tour centralMinnesota Aug. 15-18MNDOT REMINDS PUBLIC TO

SHARE THE ROAD DURING

LOCAL BICYCLE EVENT

Motorists will notice an

increased number of bicyclists on

central Minnesota highways Aug.

15-18 for the annual Bicycling

Around Minnesota event.

The Minnesota Department of

Transportation reminds all travel-

ers to share the road and follow all

traffic safety laws.

Approximately 275 bicyclists

will travel through Cold Spring,

Albany, Spicer and Hutchinson on

several trunk highways, localroutes and bicycle paths during the

four days.

The law is clearbicyclists and

motorists share responsibility.

There are eight rules of the road

to improve bicycle safety:

1. Bicyclists may ride on all

Minnesota roads, except where

restricted such as interstates.

2. Bicyclists should ride on the

road and must ride in the same

direction as traffic.

3. Motorists must maintain a

three-foot clearance at all times

when passing a bicyclist.

4. Bicyclists must obey all traffic

control signs and signals, just as

motorists.

5. Motorists and bicyclists must

yield the right of way to each other.

6. Bicyclists must signal their

turns and should ride in a pre-dictable manner.

7. Bicyclists must use a head-

light and rear reflectors when its

dark.

8. Bicyclists should always wear

helmets and bright reflective gear.

How can I save money

on my lighting bill?Lighting a typical Minnesota

home accounts for about 10 percent

of the energy needed to power ones

home. One of the best ways to

reduce your electricity bill is to

replace traditional incandescent

light bulbs with compact fluores-

cent light bulbs (CFLs) or light

emitting diodes (LEDs).

Halogen bulbs are one lighting

option. They last about three times

longer and use 10 percent less

energy than a standard incandes-

cent bulb with the same light out-put. But they rank well below

CFLs and LEDs in efficiency and

longevity.

CFLs use about one-third of the

energy and last up to 10 times

longer than an incandescent bulb

with the same light output. Also,

CFLs have overcome many of the

problems associated with their ini-

tial production in the 1990s. Newer

CFLs have electronic ballasts

which eliminate most of the flicker-

ing and slow starting of earlier

models, and standards have

improved reliability and expected

lifetimes considerably.

LEDs are the longest lastingbulbs on the market, lasting about

10 years and about three times

longer than CFLs. They are rough-

ly equivalent to CFLs in efficiency.

Their longevity makes them a good

choice for locations where bulb

change-outs are either difficult or

costly. Manufacturers are provid-

ing a growing selection of LEDs to

meet specific lighting needs and

compete with CFLs.

To view a comparison of differ-

ent light bulb choices based on cost,

efficiency and environmental con-

cerns, and for more information on

a range lighting facts, check out

Appliances, Lighting,Electronics, an energy guide pub-

lished by the Minnesota

Department of Commerce, Division

of Energy Resources. Also see the

Clean Energy Resource Teams.

DNR seeks publiccomments on proposed

Miller-Black Bear AreaATV Trail inCrow Wing County

Comments are due by Monday, Sept.

16, at 4:30 p.m.

The Minnesota Department of Natural

Resources (DNR) invites public comment

on an application for off-highway vehicle

(OHV) grant-in-aid funding for a 20-milelong all-terrain vehicle trail in Crow Wing

County. About 19 miles of the trail are in

place on existing OHV trails or forest roads;

the remainder would be new trail.

Crow Wing County Land Services would

sponsor the trail and would provide trail

monitoring, development and maintenance

in cooperation with the Cuyuna Iron Range

Riders ATV Club. Trail development and

maintenance would be partially funded

through the state off-highway vehicle grant-

in-aid grant program.

The trail is primarily on Crow Wing

County forest lands, with about 3 miles

crossing state forest land. The trail is open

to motorized recreation from May 1 through

Oct. 31 each year, subject to closures as

warranted for safety considerations or to

prevent erosion or damage to the trail.

Copies of the proposal and a project

map are available for review at

DNR QUESTION OF

THE WEEKQ: What causes many lakes,

rivers and ponds to turn green by

mid-summer? Some even have an

odor.

A: By mid-summer many water-

bodies turn green due to the

growth of small microscopic plants

in the water called algae. Algae

grow in all bodies of water when

light and nutrients levels are suffi-

cient.

In many lakes, algae abundanceis determined by the amount of

phosphorus dissolved in the water.

The more phosphorus present, the

more abundant algae become and

the greener the water gets.

There are many different types

of algae. During mid-summer one

particular group of algae, called

blue-green algae, are often particu-

larly abundant. When this algal

group becomes abundant, a strong

musty or earthy odor many occur.

Algae that have died and are

decomposing cause the odor.

Because algae abundance strongly

depends on the amount of phospho-

rus available, the best long-termstrategy is to improve land-use

practices to prevent phosphorus

and other nutrients from getting

into our lakes and ponds.

The name Wendy was made up for the book "Peter Pan."

The longest word in the English language, according to the Oxford English

Dictionary, is pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. The only other word

with the same amount of letters is pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconioses,

its plural.The reason firehouses have circular stairways is from the days of yore when the engines were

pulled by horses. The horses were stabled on the ground floor and figured out how to walk up

straight staircases.

The term "the whole 9 yards" came from WWII fighter pilots in the South Pacific. When arming

their airplanes on the ground, the .50 caliber machine gun ammo belts measured exactly 27 feet,

before being loaded into the fuselage. If the pilots fired all their ammo at a target, it got "the whole

9 yards."

The only nation whose name begins with an "A" but doesn't end in an "A" is Afghanistan.

Our lake has not been used to its full potential this year. A late wet and rainyspring made fishing a futile sport and the cool early summer did not encourageswimming. It hasnt helped that the early spring floods totally destroyed our dock,again. I have yet to get it repaired which makes even going for a boat ride more dif-ficult. Fortunately, the last two or three weeks of dry weather has allowed the laketo clear and the fishing to improve.

Damon and Zane, my son and grandson, decided they needed to have an out-ing on the lake Saturday afternoon. They were going to boat, fish, have a bonfireand a picnic. Three families with a total of six kids showed up for the festivities. We

have a Jon boat, two paddle boats and a canoe. One friend brought two kayaks, sothere was no shortage of transportation. With paddle boat races, kayak races, twoboys in a canoe seeing if they could make it fly, and people jumping in just for aswim, the lake has not seen so much activity in years.

As the hours rolled by, the adults were wearing down to the point they didntcare if they fished or had a campfire. It took a while, but the kids finally wore off the

xcess energy they must have been storing for days. Nobody could wake up with that much enthusiasm for life every morn-ng. If they do, its just not fair.

The party moved to Damons house where it is easier to cook than carry in a picnic. Sitting around the bonfire at Damonslace was a mellow and relaxing end to the day. Fishing was the only thing left out of the days plans, but that may haveeen difficult with boat races and swimmers everywhere.

Damon and Zane stopped back at our house Sunday afternoon. I could tell, Damon was still tired, but Zane was readyo go again. Since nobody had gone fishing the day before, he thought we should all go catch a bunch of fish. We couldave a fish fry perhaps, or maybe we could just go fishing for a little while.

My wife begged off, so Damon and I decided to go with Zane. The weather was pleasantly warm, not the hot sticky tem-erature a person expects this time of year. The water was calm as we started working our way up the weed beds that line

he shore. There are days when at least one person has a fish on their line at any given time. It can get to be hectic pullingn so many fish. Other times, we can work hard at catching one or two fish per hour. Sunday was right in between. Nothingwould bite for several minutes and somebody would start to complain. Thats when one of us would get a strike. We wouldwork along the edge for another ten minutes or so, discussing giving up on the whole idea when another person would catchne. It went on like that for several hours. We were all ready to quit and go back to the house, but we couldnt stop in casenother big old bass was just waiting to get caught.

It was getting dark enough we couldnt see the shoreline when we finally decided we really had to quit. If we had keptll the fish, we would have had enough for a fish fry, but we didnt save any, we didnt have to clean them.

The original purpose of our lake is for flood control, but this weekend we found it to be multipurpose for all sorts of recre-tion.

A multipurpose lake

By Walter Scott

Hi all,

Another busy week is past, and an even busier one coming up.

Last Friday, after work, Sonny and I traveled to the Morrison County

Fair, as our grandson, Orry, age 9, had taken a blue ribbon on his dog proj-

ect, and grandson, Mason, 7, got a blue ribbon on his open class tractor

project and ended up getting the Best of Show ribbon too. Of course we had

to go see them, and Orry was working in the 4-H food booth and anxious

to serve us our food. He was so excited to see us he ran around the count-er, hugged us, and said, Ive been waiting all day for you to come! He

delivered our food to our table, and had his supper with us. Mason came

running in to have supper with us too. He had spent the day at his Dads

plumbing booth and was happy to spend some time off the chair. He said

he was very bored sitting there all day listening to his Dad talk to people

about plumbing. I bet he was, I would have been too.

Anyway, after we ate we had to go to the 4-H exhibits to see the boys

prize winning exhibits. They were really cute and the boys had put a lot

of work and effort into them. They deserved to win--of course I may be a

teeny bit biased.

After admiring the projects and taking some photos, Mason wanted to

take Grandpa Sonny to see all the farm machinery on display. I passed on

that, just isnt my thing. Mason said he cant believe that I am so lucky to

live on a farm with tractors with cabs on them and I dont go out and sit

in them when I have the opportunity. He thinks there is something seri-

ously wrong with me, because being in the cab of a tractor is one of his

favorite things to do. Especially when he can drive it and make bales withGrandpa Sonny.

Saturday was our annual Goligowski Family Reunion. It was a smaller

group then normal, but a great day and fun. It was held at Kate and

Gregs home and the kids had a blast running around, making rivers to

search for gold, etc. What imaginations. They were dirty and muddy at the

end of the day, but who cares. A bath took care of that.

Sunday, Sonny had to f inish up some field work in the afternoon, and I

worked on the latest baby quilt. We went to Brainerd that evening as he

had to get something for his sprayer at Home Depot, so we took the oppor-

tunity to go out for supper and use the Target gift card he won at work.

So, after all that activity, you will understand why I had a hard time

getting up and going off to work this morning. I told Aaron I really had to

force myself to come in today, and he said he did too, so I guess we all had

busy weekends. I know Stacey did. There isnt room on this page to detail

her activities. News flash--she and Rod and getting an exchange student

this year. She needed one more thing in her life! Yikes.

See you all later,Peggy

Letter from the Country

Letter to the EditorTraffic Deaths on the Rise

Minnesota is suffering a deadly year on our roads. Traffic deaths this week topped the 200-deathmark for the year and we are on pace for around 450 deaths for 2013, which would be 55 more than2012.

It may be easy to glance over these numbers and see them as figures and data. But we all knowtheres much more behind them that that.

These numbers stand for Sherwin Johnson, 73, who was killed on his motorcycle July 29.These numbers include Krista Suronen, 42, killed on July 27.And these numbers represent Naw Wah, 48, and La Yin, 48, who also died in a crash on July 27.Our hearts go out to these victims and their families. These are just a few of the 18 people we lost

on the road in the past two weeks. Sadly, there are another 200-plus names that we could add to thelist of 2013 traffic crash victims.

We cant forget the lives lost. As drivers, motorcyclists, bicyclists and pedestrians, its up to each ofus to remember these victims as the reasons to practice safe behaviors to prevent future tragedies.

Its a scary thought, but a crash could happen to any of us. You may not have heard about any ofthese crashes in the past week. Theres a good chance these violent episodes didnt occur in yourcommunity, and you may not have had any connection to the victims or those involved.

But we are all connected when we are on the road. All it takes is a simple mistake to turn a routinedrive into a fatal or life-changing collision.

Driving is a privilege. Its an activity that carries a great amount of responsibility, as well as focusand attention. When we are behind the wheel, our primary goal must be to get to our destination safe-ly.

Driving is not a time to conduct other business. Its not an opportunity to daydream. Its not a race.Far too many lives are lost on Minnesota roads each year. Its up to each of us to stop these

tragedies.We can prevent crashes and we can reverse this trend to reduce the deaths.Please, buckle up, drive at safe speeds, pay attention, drive sober and drive cooperatively, not

competitively.Minnesota Department of Public Safety Commissioner Mona Dohman

A fungus dangerous to bats has been confirmed at Soudannderground Mine State Park and Forestville/Mystery Caveate Park, according to the Minnesota Department of Naturalesources (DNR).

The fungus is known to cause white-nose syndrome (WNS),disease that is harmful and mostly fatal to hibernating bats,d has decimated bat populations in the eastern portions of the

nited States and Canada.The DNR will step up its efforts to slow the spread of the fun-

s. While the disease is transmitted primarily from bat to bat,ngal spores may be inadvertently carried to caves by humans clothing and caving gear. The syndrome is not known to posethreat to humans, pets, livestock or other wildlife.

While only a few bats have tested positive for the fungus, thescovery has serious implications. If Minnesota follows trendsother states, the disease is likely to be present in Minnesotats within two to three years.This is bad news for an important mammal in our ecosys-

m, said Steve Hirsch, director of the DNRs Ecological andater Resources Division, which oversees the agencys

ongame wildlife program. Were prepared with special proto-

ls to help keep the fungus from spreading.Public tours of Soudan Underground Mine and Mystery

ave will continue, but visitors will begin each tour with a briefsson on how they can prevent the spread of the fungus.

After tours, visitors will be required to walk across specialats designed to remove spores from footwear. They will bevised not to visit other caves or mines with any clothing,

otwear or gear they have used in areas where WNS or thesociated fungus is present because washing alone cannotfficiently disinfect clothing.Ed Quinn, natural resource coordinator for the DNRs Parks

d Trails Division, said, Education is one of the most effectiveols we have to slow the spread of the disease.

DNR nongame biologists and park managers have beenorking for several years with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Serviced leading bat researchers to learn more about and prepare for

e disease.

The DNRs actions are consistent with the National White-ose Syndrome Decontamination Protocol, part of a nationwidefort to slow the spread of the disease. The DNR urges owners

of private caves to learn about WNS and take similar visitor pre-cautions as outlined in the protocols.

Sampling for the fungus at the two parks occurred in 2012and 2013. Recent testing to track the spread of the disease

found that four bats of 47 sampled were positive for the fungus.Testing was part of a national study funded by the NationalScience Foundation and led by researchers at University ofCalifornia Santa Cruz and Northern Arizona University.

Minnesota has seven species of bats, four of which hiber-nate during the winter and are at greatest risk of contracting thedisease. Mystery Cave, located in southeastern Minnesota, hasabout 2,300 bats. Soudan Underground Mine, in the northeast-ern part of the state, has 10,000 to 15,000 bats.

Gerda Nordquist, a DNR mammalogist, said the DNR willcontinue to monitor Minnesotas bat populations closely,because healthy bat populations are important both ecological-ly and economically.

Many species of bats feed voraciously on insects, resultingin an estimated $1.4 billion of savings to Minnesota farmerseach year by providing pest control, according to a 2011 articlein Science.

WNS is named for the fuzzy white growth of fungusobserved on infected bats. In bats infected with the WNS fun-gus, unusual behavior often will be observed, such as flying dur-ing the day in the winter or roosting outside when temperaturesare below freezing.

The DNR asks people to help monitor bats statewide.If you see anything unusual sick or dead bats or bats act-

ing strangely at Minnesota state parks or elsewhere, pleasereport it as soon as possible, Nordquist said.

Reports can be submitted online, using the bat observationreport on the DNR website, www.mndnr.gov/wns. These reportswill be reviewed by DNR staff, and additional follow-up or test-ing will be conducted, as needed.
