Walt Carlson shareshis WWII story
At 2:22 pm, November 23, a Todd County Deputy attempted a traffic stop on an individual
(Wade Moenkedick) who was known to not have a valid drivers license. The individual fled
north on Hwy 71, north of Hewitt. Moenkedick stopped a few miles later, but then fled againafter backing into the squad car, causing extensive damage. Moenkedick was located by other
Todd County Deputies and the pursuit continued. During the pursuit two other Todd County
squads and an Eagle Bend squad were run into by the suspect. Moenkedick, of rural Bertha,
was eventually taken into custody on County 23, south of Hwy 210. He is being held in the Todd
County Detention Center waiting formal charges.
The Wadena County Sheriffs Office, Henning Police Department, Eagle Bend Police
Department, MN State Patrol, DNR, and the Bertha Ambulance assisted with the incident.

To the editor:
On July 13, 2011, at 2 PM, I experienced a farm accident that
occurred while I was spraying thistles along a drainage ditch that
forms the west boundary of our farm. The accident resulted in a bro-
ken collarbone and three broken ribs when I was tipped from my six
wheeler as I descended a short, steep slope. Of course, the accident
was my fault because I failed to consider the unbalancing effect that
300 pounds of herbicide, sprayer, and gear in the cargo box would
have on my Polaris. And a small, unfixed problem with the shifting
linkage caused me to blunder along in high-range rather than the
more appropriate low-range. Worse yet, I didnt have a cell phone (I
do now) to call for rescue, although I had told my wife that Id be
working in that location, which is about 3/4 mile west of our house
and Norris Road. I hope that readers might learn from my mistakes.Although I tried repeatedly to get up from the ground, I just could-
nt get past the pain. The best I could do, for fear of the machine over-
heating and incinerating me, was to painfully reach up and turn of
the ignition. As I lay that in the marsh grass, I realized there would
be no rescue for me until sometime after my wife returned at nine or
ten oclock from her Catholic Youth Group meeting. I was worried
that she might not notice my absence Continued on page 16

Walter Carlson of Ward
ownship is 90 years old this year.
fter hearing questions from his
ieces and nephews about his
World War II experiences, he decid-
d to tell his story to the Blade
because they wanted to know.
Walter Carlson was born in
Ward Township in September 1921
Adolph and Agnes Carlson.
dolph was the son of Charlie and
melia Carlson, who moved toWard Township from Iowa in 1894
hen Adolph was 4. One reason
hey chose Ward Township was
ecause Amelias brother, who
Walter knew as Old Man Grant,
ved nearby.
Charlie Carlson was a poor
rmer, Walt recalled. He was
wkward in everything. He had a
ce full of whiskers, and he liked
smoke a pipe. The young boys
ked to try to set his whiskers on
re.
Grandpa Charlie had a few cows
nd horses. He had a lot of bad
uck with his cattle and sickness
ith his horses, but he never com-
ained about it in the house, Walt
aid. He kept it outside. But my
ad, he was continually bellyach-
ng to Ma about something either
olacks or Bohunks or Republicans
r Democrats or snow or rain. It
as the last thing I heard at night
efore I went to sleep and the first
hing I heard when I woke up. He
had a way hed tell you to do
something, and if you did it right it
was fine, but if not hed chew you
out. But he never explained how
to do it.
Walt was one of eight children.
His sister Dorothy was the oldest,
then came Walt, Lester, Ted,
Adeline, Ervin, Louis, and Lucille.
Five are still alive: Walt, Ted,
Adeline, Ervin, and Louis.
After completing 8th grade,
about 1935, Walt worked for hisdad, and worked for the neighbors
for 50 cents a day. In the late sum-
mer a group of men would go down
to Redwood Falls to shock and
thresh grain. There they were
paid good money, Walt said: 30
cents an hour. During the
Depression years that was very
good pay. After finishing at
Redwood Falls, the men would
sometimes go out to South Dakota
and work in the wheat fields.
Back home, things were pretty
skimpy, Walt remembered. The
family had seven cows and five
horses and 150 chickens, four or
five brood sows. Thats the way I
left it to go to the Army.
Here is where Walts war experi-
ences begin. He was drafted into
the U.S. Army on July 24, 1942, at
the age of 21. He and others were
sworn in at Fort Snelling, and then
headed to Fort Sill, Oklahoma, for
artillery school and basic training.

HAPPENINGSThe Browerville Blade, Page 2 Thursday, December 1, 2011
Oregon and Michigan provide the majority of the nations Christmas trees.
In 1923 President Calvin Coolidge started the annual tradition of the National
Christmas Tree lighting ceremony on the White House Lawn.
Claxton Georgia, claims to be the Fruit Cake Capitol of the World.
Franklin D. Roosevelt once owned a Christmas tree farm.
December 29 is National Whiners Day
Charles Dickens original phrase for Scrooge was Bah, Christmas, not Bah, Humbug.
Worldwide, Christmas has been celebrated on 135 different days of the year.
For it to snow the tops of the clouds must be below 0 degrees Celsius, or 32 degrees Fahrenheit.
Snow kills hundreds of people in the United States each year. The primary snow-related deaths are from
traffic accidents, overexertion, and exposure, but deaths from avalanches have been steadily increasing.
Snow at the North and South Pole reflect heat into space!! That happens because the ice acts like a mirror
with the heat of the sun, and the heat bounces off the ice and into space.
As snow falls snowflakes connect to make bigger snowflakes.
Snow can come from any cloud that is layered.

Obituary
was coming in the near future.
Walt had his birthday there in
September. He received a nice
package from home. It was a cake
with brown frosting and guess
what there was not a crack or
dent in it, just like when Mom
wrapped it up. I said, Boys, get
some ice cream. We are going tocelebrate and we are going to have
a party!
By November 1, 1944, the unit
was on its way to New York, where
the men boarded the Queen
Elizabeth, for transport to Europe.
It was smooth sailing, but we had
English cooks, poor cooks for darn
sure. We docked in Northern
Scotland, and boarded a train for
Southampton. There we boarded
another English ship and anchored
in the English Channel. We
crossed over to France and ended
up in an apple orchard for the next
three weeks. We patrolled a
pipeline to keep the French fromstealing gas.
It was very cold. We lost three
men while there, two from pneu-
monia and one that stepped on a
mine. We got our guns and heavy
equipment and 105s before we left
for the battle field. We just missed
the Battle of the Bulge. We crossed
into Germany through the
Ardennes forest on December 25,
1944. There we dug in for about
three months, and got used to the
sound of artillery. There was some
strafing from German airplanes,
and once in a while a bomber would
fly over. Snow came and froze our
pancakes to the mess kit before wecould eat them.
Walt got a new assignment. I
became the captains driver, and
did telephone line repair. Once I
started on a repair job that began
at 3:00 PM and lasted all night.
The repair job was 26 miles long.
It took 18 hours to finish. After
this, the captain took part of our
outfit up ahead after dark, got
them set up, and we headed back
alone. We drove into a bomb hole. I
put the Jeep in low gear and drove
right out. Later I heard the cap-
tain say, Im sure glad I had that
Carlson for my driver, hes the
coolest man I ever saw. That made
me feel good!
About April 1 we left the place
where wed been staying and
moved into a bombed town for a
few days. I got orders to eat early
dinner and take my Jeep to pick up
an officer someplace. Now all
trucks had to have chains on the
wheels at this time, to be ready for
the spring offensive. I kept somewires on the back end of the Jeep to
tie down broken cross links in the
chains. So I got in the jeep and
moved it about six feet, and then
stopped to see if I had some wires.
I walked around back of the Jeep
and saw that I had some. I heard a
buzzing noise. I looked through
the windshield and saw a red spot
about a foot across. It was a shell
starting to explode right where I
would have been standing, if I had-
nt gone in back of the Jeep to look
for the wires. The radiator got
punched. I was lucky, never got a
scratch.
We crossed a river under asmoke screen and next we were the
point in a new country that had
seen no war damage yet. We called
it injun country. Not much war
damage in their towns. The people
were mostly friendly and coopera-
tive. The last river we crossed put
us in Russian territory so we had to
go back. The war ended for us on
May 8, 1945. I had to drive officers
to different places and the soldiers
on the road tried to crowd me off
the road because I was driving a
civilian car.
When we left Europe we were
loaded onto the Altoona Victory for
the trip home, the fifth ship I wason. There were American cooks
and the food was very good and
fresh. The trip home took 12 days
and nights. It was rough water, up
and down, had to crouch over to
hold your plate and cups so they
wouldnt end up on the floor.
I came home to a not-so-good
welcome from my father. He said,
Well, now, youre home and you
better stay around here and get
some work done, in a scolding
voice. He thought that all guys in
the Army were goofs. I met up
with some of my buddies after the
war, from Dassel, Minneapolis,
Duluth, and from Winston, North
Dakota, but I never brought them
to my home.
Walt met his wife Elfredia
Luedtke after the war. They were
married in 1950. Elfredia remem-
bered, It was dry that year. It quit
raining in May. We had to buy feed
the first year.
Walt continued, Then we
opened up some land on rotationfarming. We planted oats, corn,
alfalfa, hay, straw and we got
good crops after that. We farmed
with horses for the first two or
three years. We took good care of
the land.
Eventually, Walt and Elfredia
bought his grandfathers farm,
where they live now.
Walt and Elfredia never had
children, the same as two of his
other siblings. My brother Lester
was here with us for 12 years, and
then he went to Sauk Centre to be
a carpenter. We hired kids through
stone picking season to help out.
We bought a combine in the early1950s and did custom work. Then
we bought a swather and a blower
and a chopper, and worked for oth-
ers for close to a month each year.
We run that till the 1980s. That
old machine we first bought we had
to overhaul, and then at the end of
the season we traded for a new one
in 1955. That old combine would
still run.
Walt and Elfredia milked cows
for many years. They never bought
them at sales. Instead, they raised
their own replacements. They quit
milking in the early 1980s, but
kept raising young stock and fed
them out and sold them. Although they are older now,
Walt and Elfredia want to stay in
their home as long as they can.
They have sold the place, but kept
a life estate that allows them to live
there as long as they want to. Walt
is proud that he served in World
War II, and can remember the
names of most of his buddies when
he looks at his collection of photos.
Walt, we thank you for your serv-
ice.

Friends of ours, Bart and
Kent, have gone home after hav-
ng spent just over a week at our
lace bow hunting. Before they
rrived, they both decided they
would take a really big buck or
othing at all. They are the type
f hunters that get into their tree
tand before daylight and do not
et down until long after dark. I
ersonally do not hunt that hard,
ut I have the luxury of beingble to go deer hunting anytime I
want during three months of
eer seasons.
The guys were here during
he peak of the rutting season so
eer were active the whole time
hey were hunting. Bart started
unting on the south place near
he border between the pasture
nd the timber. Each morning he
would run his climbing stand
hirty to thirty-five feet up an
ak tree. That is another differ-
ence between the way they hunt
and the way I do it. There is not
enough money to get me thirty-
five feet up a tree on a climbing
stand even when its light out.
There is no way I would do it in
the dark of night. He hunted
from the same tree for several
days and saw dozens of deer
including several respectable
bucks, but not the one he want-ed.
Kent hunted several different
areas. He saw deer everywhere
he hunted but also did not see
the one he was after. On differ-
ent areas of the farm, he counted
twenty-two bucks that measured
over 140. That is a good deer in
anyones eyes, but he knew what
he wanted.
As days passed and I hadnt
received that expected phone call
from a tree stand, I started to
become concerned. I knew they
were hunting hard and was
afraid they would be getting
frustrated. At different times Iasked both of them if they were
getting discouraged. They both
answered that if they never got a
shot, up to this point, the hunt
had been one of the best of their
lives. To spend time in the out-
doors, see and be close to large
numbers of deer, and have the
opportunity to choose if they
take a shot or not is what its
about for them. They felt the
same way I do. Its more about
the hunt than the harvest.
Nobodys going to complain if
they get the big one but thats
not the most important part.
Bart moved his stand just up
from the willows above the pond.
The first morning there, he got
his buck. The phone call came in
about 8:30. I could hear the
excitement in his voice as he told
me about putting an arrow
through the trophy of a lifetimeand watching it drop. He was
still shaking from the adrenaline
rush when I got to his position to
help him load the buck.
A couple days later, Kent
decided to move his stand to the
same area, about a hundred
yards from where Bart had
taken his deer. The temperature
was cold and the wind was calm
when he crashed his rattling
antlers together from high up in
tree. Within minutes, three
bucks appeared and two of them
were big. They watched each

Kent also had a trophy buck.
It was a great time to have a
couple guys here that hunt hard
and appreciate the outdoors as I
do. They know hunting is about
friends, enjoying spending time
outdoors, and appreciating what
nature has to offer. But it doesnt
hurt when a person is able to
bring home a cooler full of meat
and a trophy to hang on the wall.
By Walter Scott
What hunting is about
Dear friends,
Hard to believe, its the first paper of December already. Thanksgiving
has come and gone, and now Christmas is really just around the corner.
I hope all had a good Thanksgiving. Ours was good, except Jordan did
not make it home. I understand it would have been a fast home and back
trip for her as she had to work, and Fargo is a ways to come for just a cou-ple of hours, but still, it would have been nice to see her.
She sent me a text yesterday, Sunday, and asked what I want for
Christmas: I told her I just want her to come home, that is gift enough.
Back to Thanksgiving: As we actually celebrated Thanksgiving with
family on Saturday, I had Thanksgiving day to do whatever I wanted.
Benjamin, my lab puppy, and I spent a large part of the day hunting
pheasants. We didnt do so good.
However, on Wednesday, Benjamin and I went out
for a short walk on some public land near town and
did manage to get one really nice rooster. Bens first.
I cant tell for sure, but I think I was more excited
than he was.
Again on Friday we were out hunting with a couple
of friends on his land east of town, and we actually got
up about 20 birds that day, five being roosters. We got
four of them. Its nice to finally see a few birds
around, as most of the summer I have seen none tospeak of.
Thanksgiving on Saturday was held at my mom and dads house. My
brother, Ethan and his wife, Sunny, were there, as well as some friends
from the North Shore area. We had a great day, eating, visiting, eating
some more.... you get the idea.
Next Sunday is the Annual Old Fashioned Christmas celebration in
Browerville. This is a great chance to get together with family and
friends to enjoy a good meal, visit, and let the children visit with Santa.
Speaking of Santa, we will again be sending letters to Santa at the Blade
Office. Please send them to: Letters to Santa, Browerville Blade, PO Box
245, Browerville, MN 56438. We will make sure they are passed along to
the North Pole.
Well, its Monday and I need to get working on this weeks paper. Have
a good week, and I will write again later.

MPCA enforcement actions total nearly $690,000 in third quarter of 2011The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) concluded 43 enforcement cases totaling
687,751 in penalties during the third quarter of 2011. The cases occurred at facilities in 26 coun-es throughout Minnesota.
The MPCA helps protect the environment by writing and enforcing environmental rules and
egulations that set standards for environmental quality and limits on pollutants that can be dis-
harged from facilities. To help regulated parties stay in compliance with rules and regulations,
he MPCA conducts inspections, provides training, and distributes guidance materials.
In some negotiated enforcement cases called stipulation agreements, part of a monetary penal-
y is paid toward the completion of a supplemental environmental project (SEP). SEPs are intend-
d to provide extra environmental and public health benefits. They are projects which a responsi-
le party agrees to undertake in the settlement of an enforcement action, but which the responsi-
le party is not otherwise legally required to perform. The third quarter included two such cases:

License stamp
revenues contribute
to conservationWhen Minnesotans buy state
hunting and fishing license stamps
they are contributing directly to
work that supports duck, pheasant,
trout, wild turkey and walleye
management.
Next year, when people pur-
chase the 2012 walleye stamp, they
will also be buying a piece of histo-
ry. Thats because the 2012 stamp
was painted by John House, the
Melby artist who now holds the dis-tinction of being the only person to
win all five of Minnesotas wildlife
art stamp contests.
Clearly, the 2012 walleye stamp
has special meaning for me, said
House, a full-time professional
artist for more than 30 years. I am
honored that my work was select-
ed. Its rewarding to know that my
art has been part of Minnesota fish
and wildlife conservation for more
than a decade.
Houses stamp-winning art has
included paintings of green-winged
teal, brown trout, a strutting tom
turkey, a cagy rooster in stride, and
a walleye slashing at a school ofshiner minnows amidst rock and
submerged logs.
Annually, the Minnesota
Department of Natural Resources
(DNR) conducts wildlife art con-
tests for the duck, pheasant, trout,
wild turkey and walleye stamps.
House won the duck stamp contest
in 1999, pheasant in 2004, trout in
2006, turkey in 2008 and walleye in
2011. The contests are judged by an
impartial jury of experts, none of
whom know whose artwork is
being evaluated.
Ed Boggess, DNR Fish and
Wildlife Division director, said
stamp sales represent an impor-tant part of the DNRs overall fund-
ing portfolio. These revenues, he
said, fund habitat improvement
projects related to the species they
depict. Stamp revenues also fund
research and population monitor-
ing, and are often used to con-
tribute to large public-private part-
nership where their return on
investment is even greater.
Sampling of 1,300 deer
shows no sign of CWDNone of the 1,300 deer tested in
and around the Chronic Wasting
Disease (CWD) management zonein southeastern Minnesota have
shown signs of the disease, accord-
ing to the Minnesota Department
of Natural Resources (DNR).
Hunters have harvested 780
deer so far within the CWD man-
agement zone, which stretches
from Wanamingo, Zumbrota and
Zumbro Falls southward to
Kasson, Byron and Rochester.
Negative results have been
returned for 638 deer.
In the areas adjacent to the
CWD zone, 671 of 1,053 deer har-
vested during the now-concluded
first season have tested negative.
Results on the remaining deer inboth areas are pending.
Collections are going well and
hunters are very cooperative, said
Lou Cornicelli, DNR wildlife
research manager. Well continue
working check stations in the CWD
zone through Sunday, Nov. 27,
when the season there ends.
All hunters who harvest deer
within the CWD management zone
must register their deer in person
at check stations located through-
out the area. Registration is neces-
sary so DNR can extract a lymph
node tissue sample for CWD test-
ing.
Hunters who harvest deer with-
in the CWD management zone
(deer permit area 602) cannot
remove the carcass from the zone
until a CWD-negative test result is
reported. Testing typically takes
three business days to complete
and results can be accessed by
hunters online at mndnr.gov/cwd.
Other deer permit areas where
in-person registration is required
for CWD testing, but which do not
have carcass movement restric-
tions, are areas 341, 342, 343 and344. Although closed to hunting
now, those areas will reopen to
hunting from Saturday, Nov. 19, to
Sunday, Nov. 27. Check stations
will reopen in those areas with the
season.
Electronic registration via tele-
phone or Internet is not available
in these areas. Check stations will
be open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Additional information is avail-
able online at mndnr.gov/cwd.
DNR seeks public input
on ruffed grouse man-
agement planCitizens interested in Minnesota
ruffed grouse and the habitat that
supports them can now provide
input on the Minnesota Depart-
ment of Natural Resources' (DNR)
proposed ruffed grouse long-range
management plan.
The public comment period,
which is available online only,
began Thursday, Nov. 17, and ends
Monday, Dec. 19.
With an average annual harvest
rate of 519,000 grouse during the
past 10 years, Minnesota is one of
the nations top three ruffed grouse
states. The average hunter har-
vests five birds each year inMinnesota. Annual total harvests
have reached 1.2 million birds dur-
ing peak years.
Minnesota leads the nation in
aspen-birch forest type, the pre-
ferred habitat of ruffed grouse, and
offers more than 11 million acres of
federal, state and county land open
to public hunting, much of it locat-
ed within the primary grouse
range.
The draft plans long-range
vision for ruffed grouse in
Minnesota includes sufficient
quantity, quality and distribution
of habitat to support robust grouse
populations throughout the speciesrange in the state. The plan also
addresses maintaining grouse
hunter numbers, and provides for
quality habitat to support healthy
ruffed grouse populations through-
out their range.
Our goal is to ensure the viabil-
ity of ruffed grouse and their forest
habitat, manage grouse as an inte-
gral part of Minnesotas forested
landscapes, and encourage and
promote hunting and observation
of ruffed grouse in their natural
habitat," said Cynthia Osmundson,
forest wildlife program leader.
Public input will be reviewed
and considered in January. Thefinal Minnesota ruffed grouse man-
agement plan, to be completed in
February, will help guide ruffed
grouse management during the
next 10 years.
