Helping children connect to the natural worldPersonal experiences, reflections of a naturalist

Pat Francis, naturalist long lake conservation center

“Is that porcupine pee?” The student pointed worriedly to puddles of melt-water in the woods. We had just visited a den tree and seen scat, a few quills, and peeled branches. Now we were hiking back, and more than one student was concerned that if they stepped in a tea-colored puddle, they would be ankle-deep in urine. What a quan-dary! What an opportunity to explain frozen ground and melting snow!As a naturalist, I love mo-

ments such as this, but they illustrate a disturbing trend: our children are growing up with increasingly little con-nection to the natural world. A recently published, highly- regarded book titled Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder speaks to this problem. It recounts how our nation’s children, in their

highly-structured, tightly-scheduled world are becom-ing increasingly divorced from hands-on exploration of nature. They may read about it, study it, watch movies – but their hands stay clean and their feet dry.Another example occurred

this winter. A group of met-ro fifth-graders, out in the woods on a “wilderness meal” activity, were gathering branches for their fires. For many, perhaps most, this was their first opportunity to cook outdoors; to gather wood, make a clearing, build a small fire, cook food (shouldn’t the hotdog stick be thinner than the hotdog?), and put the fire out properly and safely. We had given them full instruc-tions indoors, including a show-and-tell of how to tell a dead branch (it’s not attached at either end). I intercepted student after student who couldn’t translate the words of indoor instruction to the reality of being in the woods. In their eyes, a healthy sap-ling with no leaves was dead. Snap! Many didn’t under-stand that buds are a sign of life. Snap! I’ve worked as a natural-

ist at Long Lake since 1988, explored the natural world with thousands of youth and their parents (both urban and rural), and personally have seen the accelerating numbers of people who had

watched the Discovery chan-nel or a nature flick, but have little to no actual experience outdoors. Educators know how important hands-on activities are to true learn-ing. Long Lake excels at this. Countless times we’ve had a youth tell us “I’ve never done (seen, heard, known) this before!”These are the same children

who will be this century’s poliymakers. They will be the stewards of a steadily shrink-ing, increasingly precious natural world. The quantity and quality of remaining re-sources will determine qual-ity of life, both for human and non-human. Won’t they do a better job if they have some first-hand knowledge of those resources, if they aren’t “nature-deficit”?Schools and parents have

put their trust in Long Lake for over 40 years. The Cen-ter’s mission is to promote wise use of natural resources, to foster youth awareness of

the interdependence of hu-mans and their environment. By immersing youth in the outdoors, by instilling knowl-edge and respect of nature, we help them continue their growth as responsible human beings. As county officials invest money in the upgrades and improvements the Center needs, everyone benefits. The county-owned facility gains in monetary value; area businesses are patronized by the growing number of people and organizations that hold conferences at Long Lake (the Dark Sky Society, DNR and 4-H among others); Aitkin County maintains its prestige as having the state’s first residential environmen-tal center – a center that is still one of the best.As the county and Long

Lake partner for improve-ments and program growth, Minnesota’s children gain; they gain access to nature. No one should be the “last child in the woods.”

April 9-13 is “Severe Weath-er Awareness Week” in Min-nesota…a time to consider the possibilities of storms, lightning, wind, floods and tornadoes, and to prepare to better cope with these natural events. We owe it to our children, businesses and families to learn how to deal safely with the weather threats we face.Every spring and summer,

Minnesota experiences 30 to 70 tornadoes, and every year people are injured be-cause they didn’t prepare or practice safety measures. On Thurs., Apr. 12, a statewide tornado drill will take place for schools and businesses at 1:45 p.m. Everyone should participate so they’re ready to move quickly when the time comes. There is no county in Minnesota that has been spared a weather disaster. Let’s be sure our people stay safe.Tornadoes are not the only

severe weather threat that we experience in Minne-sota. Thunderstorms, hail, straight-line winds and heat waves cause extensive dam-age in Minnesota every year. Nationally, an average of 80 people die and 300 are in-jured due to lighting. In 2004, 90 Minnesotans lost buildings and belongings because of lightning fires. Sixty-two lightning fires took place in

homes and business struc-tures, resulting in damages of $2.7 million. Lightning kills and injures more people than any other summer weather threat. High temperatures can quickly cause heat exhaus-tion, especially in children and elderly persons.There is a Severe Weather

Awareness Week website at www.hsem.state.mn.us (click on the green Severe Weather Awareness box). Minnesota Department of Public Safety provides weather safety in-formation, history, tips, and lessons. Visit the site and see what you can do to prevent destruction, injuries and even deaths this year.To be prepared you need

to be informed. To stay cur-rent on the weather condi-tions in your area, invest in a NOAA Weather Radio. A NOAA Radio is known as the “Voice of the National Weather Service.” It will not only provide you with up-to-date forecast information, but will automatically alert you to weather warnings for your specific area.“Summer is a beautiful time

in Aitkin County – a time when many of us enjoy the great outdoors,” said Aitkin Co. Sheriff Scott Turner. “Be safe and take necessary precautions to reduce the chances of injury happening to you or a loved one.

The Century Council, which is funded by the alcohol industry, blames the surprising disparity on girls facing greater peer-pressure to drink, and advertising that tar-gets girls.The study suggests that

teenage girls may be twice as likely to con-sume alcohol regularly if compared to teen boys. Nineteen-year-old Kristin Long is not surprised. She got through her teen years without drinking too heavily, only because her dad is a cop. Were it up to her friends and the media she watched, it could have been a lot worse.“I think girls pay a little

Teen Girls Face More Alcohol Pressurebit more attention to it than guys do. If you think about it, females are more likely to try to impress their friends and try to be with the ‘in’ crowd than guys are.”She says the culture is

pushing girls to belly up to the bar with the boys.“A lot of it has to do

with the media and the hype around drinking. I mean, everywhere you look there’s going to be suggestive ads that are going to target towards teenage girls.”Linda Labelle of Focus

Adolescent Services, not affiliated with Focus on the Family, says parents should start talking to their kids about alcohol and

peer pressure at a very young age.“Usually by the time

kids get into middle school and high school, the influences of their peers and the media is actually much stronger than their families.”During the teen years,

parents need to be watch-ful, even if they think their words are falling on deaf ears.“They need to meet the

parents of their teen’s friends; they need other parents to know their own rules of the house.”But keep a keen eye

out. The survey also found 22-percent of girls got their first drink from a parent or sibling.

Apr. 18 reception for Landstad, Schotzko

As announced earlier, Dr. Charles Schotzko has left his family medicine practice at Riverwood Healthcare Center and is beginning a new role overseeing nursing home patient care in Aitkin. At the end of April, Diane Landstad, Certified Adult Nurse Practitioner, will leave Riverwood’s Aitkin clinic to begin retirement after many years of providing medical

care, with a focus on older patients in recent years.To celebrate their distin-

guished careers, Riverwood invites the public to attend a farewell reception for both

Diane Landstad and Dr. Schotzko on Wed., April 18, from 3:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Forty Club Convention Center in Aitkin.Beverages and light refresh-

ments will be served. All community members wel-come. No RSVP necessary.

Spring fire restrictions set for Apr. 2Spring open burning restric-

tions in most of the northern two-thirds of Minnesota went into effect at 8 a.m., Apr. 2. The purpose of the fire restric-tions is to reduce personal property damage resulting from wildfires caused by debris burning.Counties affected are all

counties from northern Min-nesota south to Ramsey, Hennepin and Washington counties, except the counties of Koochiching, Lake, Cook, Lake of the Woods, Polk west of Co. Rd. 6, St. Louis north of Co. Rd. 16, Beltrami north of Hwy. 1, and Roseau east of Hwy. 310 south to Hwy. 89. Restrictions are expected to begin on Apr. 9 or later for the remaining counties listed above. A map of the fire restriction areas can be viewed on the DNR website, www.dnr.state.mn.us.As temperatures continue

to warm and vegetation dries out, fire agencies are expecting an increase in

fire activity. Data indicates that most spring wildfires originate from the burning of yard debris.Historically, 80% of all wild-

fires in Minnesota occur dur-ing April and May. Since the inception of annual permit restrictions, the number of spring wildfires is reduced.DNR is asking residents

to use alternative methods of debris disposal, such as recycling or composting.Once the restrictions are in

place, they will continue for four to six weeks, or until vegetation greens up enough to lower fire danger.This is a restriction on the

issuing of debris burning permits. Forestry personnel may still give some variances for specific activities.Each variance application

is reviewed separately. These permits are only granted for situations such as prescribed fires conducted by trained fire personnel, burning for approved agricultural prac-tices, and construction or economic hardship burning

for which there is no feasible alternative.More counties will be add-

ed to the restricted area as snow cover disappears

and potential for wildfire increases. Additional infor-mation is available on the DNR website, www.dnr.state.mn.us/forestry/fire.

Drug/alcohol program expands focus in Aitkin

PhiliP Neese

Avalon has opened an adult outpatient treatment facility in Aitkin, 3-3rd St. NE. The Avalon program was located in the Aitkin County jail. Although referrals are still re-ceived from the county court system, it is now licensed as a community-based program. James McFarland, Avalon

Program Manager is a li-censed alcohol and drug counselor. The facilities and program are licensed by the State of Minnesota. Office hours are Mon. – Thurs., 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.“We provide alcohol and

drug health assessment, and then determine the type of treatment needed,” McFar-land said. “A patient may be

referred to other treatment facilities or, in some cases, be treated here. We provide both high intensity and low intensity programs here at our facilities. Most of these services may be covered by major insurance compa-nies.”“Avalon’s flexible program-

ming allow our patients to remain engaged in their em-ployment, education, family and community obligations while they attend evening sessions,” he continued. “Treatment is tailored to meet the needs of individual men and women in a co-educa-tional setting.”If you have any questions,

call the Aitkin office at 218-927-6417.

MnDot traffic study for County Market intersection requestedConnie Pettersen

On Tues., Mar. 27, Aitkin County Board passed two resolutions proposed by County Engineer John Welle concerning the new intersec-tion by County Market at U.S. Hwy. 169 and Red Oak Drive. The first resolution requests that MnDOT conduct a traffic study to determine whether that intersection warrants a traffic control signal. The other asks MnDOT to do a speed zone study to deter-mine whether the 50 mph speed zone is still appropriate for that area.Welle said he thinks the

speed limit is too high with the new development. He said a speed zone study is probably more attainable than a traffic signal at that particu-lar intersection. MnDOT has a number of regulations re-quired to warrant placement of any traffic control signal. If these requirements were met and a signal was allowed, all costs incurred would then be shared between the state and the city.Aitkin County Engineer

John Welle was appointed as the contact person for this study requested to be com-pleted by MnDOT.

Personnel issuesThe Board heard the second

part of a presentation by Cindi Hills, Human Resources Manager, regarding the hay scale and wage increases for hourly and salaried staff.Consensus was given to al-

low John Welle a go-ahead to request a two-year temporary Engineering Technician III position during next week’s Consent Agenda. Welle said the two-year temporary posi-tion would be more cost-ef-fective to the county than hir-ing a consultant firm to help get projects completed.The Board discussed the

County Administrator hiring process. A decision was de-layed until next week’s meet-ing after Commissioner Dale Lueck returns and a consen-sus could be reached about how to score the applications and award interviews.

Committee updates•Personnel Committee-

Commissioner Chair Brian Napstad said the committee discussed the possibility of hiring a temporary highway department technician verses

hiring a consulting firm at greater cost. “The upside of a down economy is that people (qualified engineers) become available,” said Napstad. “Not a lot of transportation dol-lars are around, which is evidenced in some very ag-gressive bidding, but no jobs out there.” The County has had two qualified engineer applicant finals and one was hired. Napstad said if the second engineering applicant came on temporarily, it would actually save dollars. The county saved $87,000 in un-spent wages (while seeking applicants),” said Napstad. “Bad news is we didn’t get any designs done that per-son could have finished.” He said road costs continue to climb dramatically so getting something on the ground sooner is better than later. Napstad said the Personnel Committee’s consensus was to hire the second engineer-ing individual on as a tempo-rary two-year position.•Insurance Committee-

Commissioner Mark Wedel at-tended. They are in an infor-mation gathering stage until a MCIT representative comes and there can be more discus-sion. A recommendation will then be established.•Sobriety Court- time was

spent fine-tuning a grant ap-plication. •Forest Advisory- Com-

missioner Galen Tveit said topics included the present logging situation and trying to help; the county eco-house, and how to get certified wood available for more generated public interest. “We may need a dry kiln,” Tveit said, point-ing out that it would also help to put an inventory together before interested customers go elsewhere, especially “if it’s still standing on the stump and it’s four months before we get it (to them).”•Snake River Watershed

Management Board- Com-missioner Paul Bailey said they are working on the end-of-the-year 2006 figures to apply for grant money. They had a presentation about St. Croix River from someone from that river watershed. TMDL (total maximum daily load) of chemicals in the river increased over the years. The DNR is also considering ATV mud truck trails in Snake River State Forest.

•McGregor Housing-

Commissioner Bailey also attended the opening of the Northland Village Assisted Living facility in McGregor. He reported that ARDC is now working on a survey to be sent around 14 McGregor-area townships to see if there is a need for senior housing that would be comparable to Aitkin’s Blackrock.•Water Planning task

Force- Commissioner Nap-stad said that a presentation regarding conservation ease-ments and tax implications was given during the meet-ing.

Health and Human Services (H&HS)During its monthly meet-

ing Tues., Mar. 27, the H&HS Board heard an update from Gary Pearson, Manager of North Memorial Ambulance’s Brainerd Region regarding its 2006 activities. Pearson said things have been go-ing steady with a very good group of employees. There has been quicker response times and good working re-lationships with the hospital. Profits have also improved – more efficiency in some areas and lowered insurance costs with a good safety record. No complaints of significance, minor issues dealt with. Because of the higher level

of care now available at Riv-erwood HealthCare, North Memorial Ambulance is not transferring as many pa-tients, so its run volume has decreased. It also has an in-crease in the 911 category be-cause more patients are being brought to Aitkin than before. It is considering adding a second helicopter to Brain-erd because the area already has the busiest helicopter service by far, especially dur-ing summer months. North Memorial staff continues to do first responder, EMT train-ing and continuing education services. Tom Burke summarized a

legislative auditor’s report regarding social services throughout Minnesota. Kathy Ryan, Fiscal Supervisor gave the financial report stating that the budget was on track. Cindi Korpela, Health and

Human Services Supervisor, asked if the commissioners would support a statewide smoking ban. A lengthy dis-cussion ensued regarding the Freedom to Breathe Act and

promoting smoke-free work places, including bars and restaurants. Commissioner Mark Wedel said, “It is much broader than just smoking, it’s clean air. It has to be more universally addressed.” Commissioner Chair Brian

Napstad said he is under the impression that OSHA (Oc-cupational Safety and Health Administration) already looks out for health of workers and regulates environmental issues. “If OSHA were to regulate air quality standards to the level that the Freedom to Breathe Act wants,” said Napstad, “they would have to shut down industry in the United States.” He pointed out that a welding industry, paint shop; almost any in-dustrial environment would not comply with Freedom to Breathe Act and what they apparently want.Commissioner Galen Tveit

said he thinks the law “picks on the food industry more than anything . . . If that issue is in other places, it should be addressed equally.” He said he was not in favor of it as it is now, basically bars and restaurants. Napstad said that the casinos would be the last vestiges for smokers because casinos will be exempted. Korpela will provide more data from studies regarding secondhand smoke.

other Board action•Passed a resolution to

adopt the Tri-County (Aitkin-Itasca-Koochiching) 2007 Community Health Budget after discussion with Tom Burke, H&HS Director.

•Appointed Julie Orbeck to H&HS Advisory Committee.

Committee reports•Commissioners Bailey

and Tveit attended H&HS Advisory Committee. Brian Crowley of the advisory com-mittee reported that a similar discussion regarding support of the smoking ban was held at committee level. Other items discussed included County Based Purchasing (CBP). Crowley said that pos-sibly from a human factor, it could be positive to have a local care coordinator vs. hav-ing one down in the metro. Burke also reported on the

progress with other counties regarding CBP. Burke said St. Louis decided not to go with CBP. Lake, Cook, Koochiching and Carlton will go if they can find another county to join them. They do not have the population numbers needed. Aitkin has not decided yet; Beltrami, Hubbard and Clear-water are possibly going forward together. Burke said that, across the state, CBP is a success in other counties and they are reintegrating money into their systems.•AMC Children’s Men-

tal Health- Commissioner Paul Bailey said a mental health bill is in the legislature; hopefully with some finding forthcoming. •Centra l Minnesota

Community Corrections (CMCC)- Commissioners Napstad and Wedel said Sen-

tence to Serve (STS) had budgeted for a new vehicle at $28,000. They came in under budget as CMCC found one with 16,000 miles for $18,000 even after they purchased a necessary trailer to transport tools at a cost of $5,200. CMCC juvenile detention

center staff is still attempting to get the Department of Cor-rections’ (DOC) regulations met to resume a 40-bed level. The policy and procedure manual was completed and sent to DOC within the re-quired time frame. Possibly by June, documents should be reviewed and a reinspec-tion done of the facility so they can become re-licensed at a higher bed level. Atten-dance at the facility was up a little, but they need the ad-ditional revenue from having more beds. “It’s easy to make this go away – don’t use it,” said Napstad, “and we will have no choice but to make it go away.” He said that the procedures manual was done in a timely manner. “It was a huge task, but the staff did a great job.” •Arrowhead EMS Com-

mittee was attended by Commissioner Wedel who said it is reported financially to be in good shape due largely to good attendance at the conference and revenue from tuitions. A legislative bill proposing $1,500 credit for volunteer ambulance, fire, first responder appears to be coming along.

Old Tom MorrisHave you ever considered

who the pioneers of golf are that keep you chasing a little dimpled ball for miles? According to his biography,

Old Tom Morris (1821–1908) is the most influential figure in the early history of golf. He was a great player, club-maker, greenskeeper and course designer, designing or remodeling around 75 courses according to the World Golf Hall of Fame. He won the British Open four times in seven years during the 1860s and still holds two

British Open records: oldest champion at age 46 and larg-est margin of victory, 13. He played in every British Open until 1895. One of three Old Tom Mor-

ris trophies was donated and presented to representatives of Jaques Art Center by Phil Harper of Dinton, England. This trophy will become a traveling trophy given to the winning foursome at JAC’s annual golf tournaments starting in 2007. Call 218-927-2363 for info.

Boost beef knowledge, profitabilityMinnesota beef and dairy

producers can learn how effective quality assurance strategies will improve profit potential from their cattle and calves at a Beef Quality Assurance workshop to be held Tues., Apr. 17 at the VFW Club in Aitkin.Minnesota’s Beef Quality

Assurance (BQA) program, which outlines best prac-tices for safe and whole-some beef production, has tracked results that indicate beef producers who follow BQA protocols consistently receive significantly higher prices for their cattle than those who do not participate in the program, according to Dennis Swan, Chairman of the Minnesota Beef Council. “Our goal is to provide con-sumers with a satisfactory and enjoyable eating experi-ence every time they choose beef” says Swan. “By follow-ing Beef Quality Assurance (BQA) guidelines and recom-mendations, beef producers not only increase the value of their cattle but continue to help improve consumer demand for beef and beef products,” he adds.The two hour program

qualifies producers for BQA certification. Producers who have previously been certi-fied can renew their eligibility by participation in this work-shop. Ron Eustice, Executive Director of the Minnesota

Beef Council, will conduct the training workshop Attendees will also hear

results of the Beef Check-off-funded 2005 National Beef Quality Audit, which identifies quality issues and solutions the beef industry should consider for the next five years. Registration begins at 6 p.m.

The educational session will begin promptly at 6:30 p.m., and conclude by 9 p.m.To register call Brad Irwin,

Extension Educator, Aitkin Co. Extension Service at 218-927-2538 or 218-820-4894 (cell phone). The workshop is sponsored by Central Min-nesota Catttleman’s Associa-tion, Aitkin County Extension Service and Minnesota Beef Council, 952-854-6980. There will be a $5 registration fee per farm to help offset re-freshments and other costs.Beef Quality Assurance is

funded with checkoff dol-lars provided by Minnesota Beef Council. Minnesota Beef Council is a promotion and research board created un-der Minnesota statute and authorized by Cattlemen’s Beef Promotion and Re-search Board to collect the $1-per-head beef checkoff and invest the funds in pro-motion, research and educa-tional activities on behalf of Minnesota’s 28,000 beef and dairy producers.

Bear hunt application deadline nearsMnDNR will accept applica-

tions for the 2007 Minnesota black bear hunting season through Fri., May 4. This year, 13,200 licenses will be available in 11 permit areas in northern and central Min-nesota. The season will run from Sept. 1 through Oct. 15.Applications can be made

Twenty-four Cub Scouts participated in an Egg Catapault held at Westside Church in Aitkin on Thurs., Mar. 22. These Scouts are in Aitkin Pack #52, comprised of four dens: Tigers (1st grade); Wolves (2nd grade); Bears (3rd grade); and Webelows (4th grade).

Different activities are planned for each monthly Cub Scout meeting, (the March activity was to build an egg calapault), pro-viding opportunities to build something and to demonstrate the members’ creativity.

Cub Scouts made catapaults that could not be larger than 2’ x 2’ and were de-signed to catapault an egg.

The catapaults were judged in two areas: the one that went the furthest, and the one that shot the straightest.

Creative catapaulting
