Looking Back50 years ago - Nov. 28, 1963

The nation was plunged into a

state of shock last Friday, Nov. 22,

when the news of the assassina-

tion of President John F. Kennedy

was flashed across the country.

Shortly after the shooting a 24

year old suspect, Lee H. Oswald,

was captured after a wild chase

through Dallas, Tx, in which a

city police officer was killed by

Oswald. In a bizarre turn of

events, Oswald was shot and mor-

tally wounded Sunday morning.

25 years ago - Dec. 1, 1988

Another snow storm dropped 8-

12 inches of the white stuff, com-

plicating travel for the end of

Thanksgiving weekend. The

storm hit Saturday morning with

snow, and by Saturday evening

winds and snow blocked many

area roads. The sun shown

Monday, but temps were well

below zero. The weatherman was

predicting more snow for Tuesday.

DNR reminder:ice is not safe right now

The Department of Natural

Resources said the thin layers of ice

that are forming on Minnesota

waters right now are not safe. This

reminder comes after a DNR con-

servation officer helped rescue a

man Nov. 15 who was fishing and

fell through the ice on Little Rock

Lake in Benton County.

The bottom line is it's crucial

that people do not let their guard

down, said Kara Owens, DNR boat

and water safety specialist,

because ice is never 100 percent

safe. A few days of cold tempera-

tures dont create ice strong enough

to hold a person.

According to Owens, six people

died last winter after falling

through the ice.

The DNR recommends anyone

heading out on the ice should: carry

a set of ice picks, check with a local

bait shop or resort ask about ice

conditions and measure the ice.

DNR clear ice thickness recom-

mendations are:

4 inches for walking.

5 inches for a snowmobile or

ATV. 8-12 inches for a car.

12-15 inches for a medium-

sized truck.

ASK A TROOPERBy Sgt. Jesse Grabow of the

Minnesota State Patrol

Question: Im wondering: Is the use of

blinkers a state law or only an optional cour-

tesy suggestion? It seems to me that the use

of cell phones has increased, the use of

blinkers has decreased. Also, if it is a law in

changing lanes or making a turn, at what

point should the blinker be put on (how far

ahead of the turn?) Thank you!

Answer: The use of a turn signal is a state

law. I would agree with you that as the rate ofcell phone use while driving along with many

other distractions have increased, the use of

turn signals has decreased. Ive been in law

enforcement a little more than 16 years (15 of

them with the Minnesota State Patrol) and

Ive seen the use of cell phones become

more popular and evolve with their use to

include texting and internet usage.

We have a law in Minnesota that makes it

illegal for drivers to read/compose/send text

messages and emails, or access the Internet

using a wireless device while the vehicle is in

motion or a part of traffic -including stopped in

traffic or at a traffic light. Still, each year in

Minnesota, distracted or inattentive driving is

a factor in one out of every four crashes,

resulting in at least 70 deaths and 350 seri-ous injuries. The Office of Traffic Safety esti-

mates these numbers are vastly underreport-

ed due to law enforcements challenge in

determining distraction as a crash factor;

therefore, it can be difficult for law enforce-

ment to determine if a person is doing this

while they are driving. However, here is

where Ive found myself less tolerant. Drivers

who do not signal their lanes changes or

turns, or who continually cross over the cen-

terline, are in violation. This becomes a true

issue of safety and I find myself issuing more

citations for these types of offenses.

As for when should a person signal their

intent to turn or change lanes, each situation

is slightly different. I would advise good com-

mon sense to look at the total picture of, loca-

tion, traffic volume, speeds and highway con-

ditions. Minnesota law states: A signal of

intention to turn right or left shall be given

continuously during not less than the last 100

feet traveled by the vehicle before turning.

This is what is listed and taught in the

Minnesota Drivers Manual: When you wish

to change lanes or make a turn, signal with

an approved signal device to inform other

motorists of your intention. Signals are to be

activated at least 100 feet before you make

the turn. Continue signaling until you have

completed the turn or lane change. It is often

necessary to change lanes in order to make

a turn, merge with other traffic, or to perform

other driving activities. Lane changing can be

dangerous and must be done with caution.

Make sure you have safe clearance to the

side, behind, and ahead of your vehicle,

before moving into another lane. Turn your

head in the direction of the lane you are mov-

ing into and check for vehicles. If you rely

only on mirrors, you may not see vehicles in

certain positions, known as blind spots.

My wife and I enjoy putting the motion detector trail cameras

on various parts of the farm, just to see what is out there. Part

of the fun is seeing where wildlife has been. We look for deer

scrapes, turkey tracks, and trails through the timber. The other

entertaining part of the trip, other than just having a good

excuse to get out and enjoy the outdoors, is to try to figure out

where to place the cameras to get a good wildlife shot. I have

seen photos taken by trail cams that rival pictures taken by a

professional wildlife photographer. We do not have any of those

pictures in our collection, but we keep trying.

We usually go out on a Sunday afternoon, give the dogs a good

run, and either place or check the cameras. Last week, we put

one camera near Twin Sluices since the soft sand in the crossing

shows tracks from at least a dozen types of animals. We put one

in the Long Hayfield over a rib cage left over from a deer Reagan

butchered the week before. There was little meat on it when he

inished packing up his meat, but nothing goes to waste in the outdoors. What we will not use,

omething else will enjoy. We placed a third camera near a scrape.

During the rut, a scrape is the best place to get deer pictures. A scrape is a place under a low

hanging branch that serves as a message board to the deer in the area that are of breeding age.

The deer will scrape the ground bare beneath the branch and rub their eye glands and antlers

n the limb. Last week, Paul, a friend of mine, and I were driving around the farm in the mule.

A young buck jumped up in front of us, ran over to his scrape, and started marking his territo-

y. I always thought scent marking a scrape was more of a private thing, but he didnt seem con-

erned that we were there. My wife and I put a camera near that scrape hoping to get some good

deer pictures.

This week, we went back to check the results of our

attempts at wildlife photography. The camera set up at twin

sluices didnt work. Apparently, the batteries were dead and I

didnt realize it. We could only imagine the great shots we

missed. The camera over the little bucks scrape showed pic-

tures of him, his rivals, and all the does in the area that

stopped by the communal message board. The one over the

deer rib cage showed the most variety. Every carnivore and

scavenger in the area stopped by to get their pictures taken.

We had pictures of eagles, coyotes, skunks, an opossum, two

red tailed hawks, and a large Duke dog that sneaked out a cou-

ple times to chew on a nice bone. He was with us when we put

the bones out there, but I didnt think he was bright enough to

remember where they were. I was wrong since the date and

time stamp shows he visited the site more than once.

My wife and I have a good time seeing what we can get on our trail cameras. I imagine many

f my readers do also. If people would like to send your best trail cam pictures to me, we will

have a contest for the best photo. It can be of anything captured on your outdoor camera. The

winner will receive a great big Thats Really Neat from me and my reading audience. Emailhotos to [email protected] and good luck on the trail.

On the trail camera

Letter from the Country

Hi,

Another Monday and the paper is nearly done. I just updated the

weather for the front page and had a little jolt when I saw that Sunday

was December 1 already. Wow, this is the first year I have not been all

done Christmas shopping by Thanksgiving. In fact, I am usually done by

September. This year has been such a busy one, and I will blame the time

lost on the knee surgery last spring. I do feel like I have been racing to

catch up ever since--and not making much headway.Stacey was only here for a short time today--she went to the hospital

with a friend Sunday evening at 6 pm as her birth coach. The baby

arrived at a little after 6 am today (Monday), but Stacey had no sleep and

really needed to go home and take a power nap before her kids get home

from school. There wont be any sleeping after that I know.

Winter sports are really getting underway now--and I must say, I enjoy

basketball. I wouldnt be fair to the other grandkids in all the other sports

if I were to take in lots of basketball games--as we try to be fair to all of

them and attend a game for each. But football can be really cold and mis-

erable sitting in the stands, and cross country--well, what can I say--to

see them just run past is not too exciting. I try to stand near the finish

line so I can see the end of the race--but even then...

We had a busy weekend again--of course, what else is new? Friday

evening we went to Fergus Falls and had dinner with my sister, Judy, and

her husband, Gary. Saturday morning I went to Motley to pick up grand-

sons from Brainerd and we had them until Sunday afternoon. After drop-

ping them off in Brainerd, we too my grandson, Devon, out for his 16thbirthday. He lives near Ft. Ripley, and after heading back to Brainerd to

eat at Olive Garden, we took him back home and had brownies and

Butterfinger ice cream, per his request. His mom couldnt find

Butterfinger ice cream anywhere, so she softened some vanilla ice cream

and crushed up a bunch of Butterfinger candy bars and mixed them in.

After putting the concoction back in the freezer for a bit it was ready to

dish up with the brownies. Everyone said it was very good--I didnt have

any--Im not a big fan of ice cream.

When I get home from work today I will be putting out Thanksgiving

turkey in brine for 36 hours, and then baking it in a slow over for an hour

a pound. It makes a fantastic smoked turkey, but is time consuming. And

at 10 minutes for four this morning I woke up thinking--how am I going

to roast the turkey for 15 hours and bake two pies, one pan of apple

dumplings and our vegetable dish for Thanksgiving dinner with only one

oven? I may be borrowing other ovens in the neighborhood that day.

Best go,

Peggy

Letter to the EditorKeep up the good paper

Hi folks at the Blade,

I really enjoyed reading about the post offices. The house in which I grew up in SE

Leslie Township was once a store and the Leslie post office. A boat (steam I suppose)

would bring the mail to where Head of the Lakes is now. Then it would be taken to

the store.

By the time the folks bought the farm in 1911 there was a mailbox at the end of

the driveway. Those early days of rural free delivery had interesting stories also.

I enjoy Peggys Potpourri, the columns from the editor and staff and Walter Scott

is a must. Keep up the good paper.

last 9 points for Browerville to help give the Tigers their halftime advantage. The Tigers were only 2 of

9 from the free throw line in the first half, but forced the Bears into 12 turnovers.

The defense continued to look strong for the Tigers in the second half as they continued to put thepressure on the Bears. This time the Tigers took advantage of the free throws making 12 of 17. The

Tigers built an 18-point lead and coasted to a victory.

Grant Heid led the Tigers on the boards with 10 rebounds total. Browerville out-rebounded the Bears

32 to 23. They also forced the Bears into 20 turnovers with Trent Johnson getting 6 steals for the game.

Bertha-Hewitt was led in scoring by Jordan Frethems 12 points. Frethem also had 10 rebounds.

Browerville had three players in double digits: Cody Hansmeyer finished the game with 16 points

and 6 rebounds. Bryce Irsfeld scored 14 points to go along with 6 assists, 6 rebounds and 2 steals. Trent

Johnson finished the game with 12 points.

Flock to Minnesota state parks

and trails for an avian adventure

after Turkey DayMinnesota state parks and trails have lots of suggestions on how to

ork birds into Thanksgiving weekend and theyre not just talking

urkeys. There are avian-themed geocaches waiting to be found in the

oods, free birding kits waiting to be checked out at park offices and sce-

ic trails for hikers.

There is a Minnesota state park or trail within 30 miles of almost spotn the state, said Courtland Nelson, Parks and Trails Division director

t the Department of Natural Resources. So no matter where you live or

elebrate Thanksgiving, nature and outdoor recreation opportunities are

lways close by. This is a great time of year to go hiking, because now that

he leaves have fallen from the trees, its easier to see birds, deer and

ther wildlife.

Geocaching combines hiking with treasure hunting. With the help of a

PS unit, visitors can search for hidden treasures or cache containers

in all 76 Minnesota state parks and recreation areas and on the Root

iver State Trail. Inside the containers are collectible bird cards with fun

acts about a feathered friend that can be found in the area. Several parks

oan GPS units to visitors. For more information, visit

www.dnr.state.mn.us/geocaching).

Turkeys might actually be at the gate to greet anyone who shows up

or the Walk It Off! Post-Thanksgiving Day Nature Hike from 1 to 3

ark Naturalist Krista Jensen. For directions to the park and other infor-

mation, visit www.mndnr.gov

(www.dnr.state.mn.us/state_parks/fort_snelling).

Minnesota state parks are open 365 days a year from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.

nd feature more than 1,000 miles of hiking trails through the states

ardwoods, prairies and pinelands. AHiking Club (which you can join for

fee) provides members with opportunities to earn patches and other

ncentives as their total mileage accumulates.

Tips for anyone planning to take a hike include:

efore you leave).

DNR ReportDNR CONSERVATION OFFICERSACTIONS SAVE MANS LIFE

Training, determination, and the right equipment helped a conserva-

tion officer with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources save the

life of a man who fell through the ice on a central Minnesota lake.

Acting Lt. Tony Musatov of Sauk Rapids responded to Little Rock Lake

near Rice, Minn., on Friday, Nov. 15, after a report of an ice angler break-

ing through the ice. On arrival, Musatov asked two volunteer firefighters

to assist him in pushing a small boat out across the ice. The ice was too

thick near shore to break through so the group pushed the boat across the

ice until they were able to break through. Musatov broke through the ice

as well but was able to make his way into the boat and continue to the vic-

tim. Progress was very slow due to ice. When the rescuers were about 35

yards away, the angler, Joshua Johnson, 30, of Sartell, went under water

and never resurfaced. Musatov and the others continued to break ice

until they reached the area where Johnson was last seen. Musatov threw

a grappling hook and eventually hooked the leg of the victim. CPR was

started and Johnson was rushed to the hospital. Even though Johnson

was under water for about 45 minutes, doctors were able to warm his body

and get a heartbeat. Johnson was in a coma until early Monday morning,

but is now able to communicate with doctors.

Also assisting were DNR conservation officers Mike Martin and Dave

Schottenbauer.

Todd County Health and

Human Services is asking for your

help. We are in need of caring and

compassionate people who would

be willing to become licensed child

foster care providers in Todd

County. Needed are families with

flexibility, time and ability to nur-

ture these children in need.

We are looking for kind and ded-

icated people that would be willing

to provide care to abused and neg-

lected children and teens, with the

goal of supporting a safe reunifica-

tion with their parents, other rela-

tives, or a transition to loving adop-

tive families, which sometimes

turns out to be the foster parents

that have provided care for the

children. They also incorporate the

children into their families lives by

including them in community

events

The role of foster parents is

multi-dimensional as follows:

1. Provide day to day physical

care and emotional support to chil-

dren by taking children to medical

and therapeutic appointments,

support children in their educa-

tional endeavors and incorporating

the children into their family rou-

tines with the same treatment,

love and expectations they have for

their own children.

2. Provide support to the foster

children in the safe reunification

process with family of origin or;

3. Assist in the transition

process of moving into adoption.

(Many foster parents have chosen

to adopt the children they have

come into their care.)

Together, we can offer young

people in foster care the guidance,

stability and love that is so essen-

tial for becoming successful adults.

We appreciate your consideration

in helping to Change a Lifetime for

a child in need!

For more information about

licensing for foster care in Todd

County, please contact Marlys

Steidl Licensing Social Worker,

Here are 20 interesting things about, or

related to, turkeys. *Gobble*Gobble*

1. Ben Franklin, in a letter to his daughter,

proposed that the turkey should be the official

bird to represent the United States. He wrote

that a turkey is a much more respectable

bird than the bad moral character of the

eagle whom he described as a rank cow-

ard.

2. In 2011 an estimated 46 million turkeys

were eaten in the United States on

Thanksgiving.

3. Nearly 88% of Americans surveyed by

the National Turkey Federation eat turkey at

Thanksgiving.

4. A turkeys eyes are set into the oppo-site sides of its head. The position of the eyes

allows the animal to see two objects at once,

but limits its depth perception. Turkeys have

a wide field of vision and by moving their

neck, they can gain a 360-degree field of

view.

5. The average weight of turkeys pur-

chased for Thanksgiving is 15-16 pounds

with about 70% of the turkey being white

meat and 30% dark meat.

6 Deep fried turkey originated in the

7. Many people report drowsiness after

eating Thanksgiving dinner. Though most

blame it on the tryptophan in turkey, others

suggest it isnt the turkey alone, but more

likely the result of a carbohydrate-rich meal.

8. The first and final missions to land men

on the moon (led by Neil Armstrong and

Eugene Cernan respectively) both served up

turkey and gravy.

9. The costume worn by Big Bird on

Sesame Street is mostly comprised of large

feathers from 45-pound turkeys.

10. The male turkey is called a tom, the

female turkey is called a hen, and baby

turkeys are called poults.

11. Only tom turkeys gobble, while henturkeys make a clicking noise.

12. Want to stave off macular degenera-

tion: Turkey is listed among the top 10 foods

for your eyes because its rich in zinc (plus

the B-vitamin niacin, which specifically pro-

tects against cataracts).

13. Between 5,000 and 6,000 feathers

cover the body of a wild, adult turkey in pat-

terns called feather tracts.

14. Ever thought of dressing as a turkey?

According to the Guinness World Records

44th Annual Capital One Bank Dallas YMCA

Turkey Trot in Dallas, Texas, USA on

November 24, 2011.

15. Strangely enough June, not

November, is National Turkey Lovers Month.

16. Domesticated turkeys cannot fly, and

a tom turkey can reach a weight of 30

pounds within 18 weeks after hatching (nor-

mal incubating period is 28 days).

17. Turkey Anatomy: The fleshy growth

under a turkeys throat is called a wattle. The

long, red, fleshy area that grows from the

turkeys forehead over the bill is called a

snood, and the caruncle is the red-pink fleshy

growth on the head and upper neck of the

turkey.18. Wild turkeys can fly for short dis-

tances up to 55 miles per hour and can run at

speeds up to 25 miles per hour.

19. The bare skin on the throat and head

of a turkey changes colors when they

become distressed or excited.

20. Wild turkeys roost in trees; they are

especially partial to oak trees.
