Murder is rare in Todd
County. According to Sheriff
Don Asmus and Investigator
Scott Dirkes, there have been
only two murders in the last fiveyears.
But on Aug. 22, 2013, Craig
Williams was arrested and
charged with second-degree
murder in the death of his ex-
wife Nancy Elaine Williams at
her home in Round Prairie
Township, earlier that day.
Ms. Williams died as a result
of blunt force trauma, according
to the Sheriffs Office. Deputies
were called to the home earlier that day for a domestic distur-
bance. Nancy Williams went to a neighbor and said her ex-hus-
band, Craig Williams, was threatening her. She then returned home
and was later found dead.
On March 17, the date set for an Omnibus Hearing, Williams
attorney Matt Holson of St Cloud waived the Omnibus Hearing andentered a plea of not guilty by reason of mental illness on Williams
behalf, before Judge Sally Robertson in Todd County Court. The
State of Minnesota was represented by Eric Schieferdecker,
Assistant Attorney General, who prosecutes murder, drug, and
implied consent cases in the Seventh and Ninth Judicial Districts.
Williams was brought to court from the Todd County Jail by
Sheriff Don Asmus and a bailiff. Williams has been in jail on
$2,000,000 bond since his arrest last summer.
Schieferdecker asked for the release of Williams medical records,
including the prescreening report, the court order for a psychiatric
examination, all attachments, and the examiners report from
November 2013, as well as records produced in 2005 when Williams
was previously committed for psychiatric treatment. He told Judge
Robertson, We have received nothing so far [from the defense].
Were entitled to everything.
Schieferdecker said he would be filing a motion with the court
according to Rule 20.02 of the Minnesota Rules of CriminalProcedure, to have Williams examined at the Minnesota State
Hospital at St Peter.
Holson told the judge that the only defense contemplated for
Williams was the mental il lness defense.
Williams appeared in court dressed in an orange jail jumpsuit. He
was quiet throughout the brief hearing, speaking only in one-word
answers when the judge addressed him, saying Do you agree, Mr.
Williams? and Do you understand, Mr. Williams?
Judge Robertson will consider Holsons motion, and if it is grant-
ed, she will appoint an examiner to conduct a mental examination
of Williams and issue a report to the court within 60 days.
The next court appearance for Craig Williams will be set for a
date in June.

495 motoristsarrested overSt. Patricks Day
weekendExtra DWI patrols for St.
Patricks Day weekend resulted in
the arrest of 495 motorists for DWI,
according to preliminary reports
from Minnesota law enforcement
agencies.
As of 9 a.m. Monday there were
420 arrests, with an additional 75
arrests between 9 a.m. Monday and
6 a.m. Tuesday morning.
Officials with the Department of
Public Safety (DPS) Office of Traffic
Safety say the arrest count will rise
as additional DWI arrest informa-
tion is submitted to the agency.
Driving drunk puts the driver
and everyone else on the road in
danger, says Sgt. Jesse Grabow of
the Minnesota State Patrol. There
is no reason to get behind the wheel
when you have had too much to
drink. Always plan ahead for a
sober ride.Each year, alcohol-related crash-
es account for one-third of the
states total traffic deaths.
Preliminary numbers show there
were 390 traffic deaths and 25,426
motorists are arrested for DWI
statewide in 2013.
To-date in 2014 is off to a deadly
start. There have been 58 traffic
deaths, four more than this time
last year.
Tips to Prevent Drunk Driving
Plan for a sober ride desig-
nate a sober driver, use public trans-
portation or a taxi cab.
Make plans to stay at the loca-
tion of the celebration.
Offer to be a designated driver
or be available to pick up a loved one
anytime, anywhere.
Buckle up the best defense
against a drunk driver.
Report drunk driving call 911
when witnessing impaired driving
behavior. Be prepared to provide
location, license plate number and
observed dangerous behavior.

Successful irrigationscheduler program
In 2013 the Todd, Wadena,
and Hubbard Soil and Water
Conservation Districts
(SWCDS) teamed up to hire an
Irrigation Technician to coordi-
nate an Irrigation Scheduler
Program in those counties. This
Irrigation Scheduler Program is
coordinated out of the Wadena
Soil and Water Conservation
District (SWCD) office. In its
first season on the ground, thir-
teen producers signed up twenty
fields for the program in the
three counties. With the 2014
growing season just around the
corner, we look to add on to the
success of the 2013 growing sea-
son by adding fields to the pro-
gram in 2014.
For those that have never
heard of the Irrigation Scheduler
Program, its based off the same,
very successful program offered
by the East Otter Tail SWCD
located in Perham. Through the
process of irrigation water
scheduling, Wade Salo our
Irrigation Technician is able to
help producers to determine how
much water is needed to keep
their crop healthy throughout
the growing season by calculat-
ing the evapotranspiration (ET)
rates for each of the major crops
grown in the area.Each day during the growing
season, plants take up water
through their roots and some of
that water is transpired through
small openings on the plants
leaves. In addition, moisture is
lost through evaporation from
the soil surface in the field. The
term evapotranspiration (ET)
describes the sum of these two
processes. During very hot and
windy periods, it is possible for
ET amounts to be equal to a
quarter inch of rain in just one
day. Irrigation can replenish the
supply of water to the plant
when natural rainfall comes up
short. To efficiently apply irriga-
tion water, irrigators need ET
data and an estimate of the
moisture available in the soil
profile.
With ET estimates, updates
from producers on weekly rain-
fall and irrigation amounts, and
a weekly site visit to the field to
check soil moisture, the techni-
cian is able to provide a chart to
the producer showing where the
soil moisture levels are at, and
how much time before they
should think about watering
again. When used properly this
program can save farmers money
by preventing crop loss due to
insufficient moisture, prevent
leaching of fertilizer due to over
application of water which protects
ground water, and reduces energy
and running cost by preventing
over watering of crops.
If interested in signing up or
would like more information about
the Irrigation Scheduler Program,
contact Wade Salo at the Wadena
Soil and Water Conservation
District. The number is 631-3195
ext 4. More information can also be
found at the Todd County SWCD
office in Long Prairie or at the
Hubbard County SWCD in Park

Hi all,
Yesterday area exchange students and families traveled to the Target Center
in Minneapolis for the Timberwolves game against the Phoenix Suns. My oldest,
Zac, and our exchange student, Morten, were to meet us in Brainerd by 8:30 am.
After many failed attempts to reach them via phone calls and texts, we planned
to go without them and let them pout about it later. Eventually one of them called
us back and they made it to Brainerd an hour late. I intentionally told them the
early time for this very reason. All worked out in the end and we were on the road
with enough time to get to the game.
I had never been to a
Timberwolves game and had a great
time. We arrived two hours early
and were escorted to the first few
rows of seats to watch the team
warmup. Of course Rubio and Love
are favorites among the fans. Rubio
spent the most time on the court
warming up and was so much fun to
watch. Extremely talented man.
Once we were done watching
warmups we headed up to our sec-
tion for some food and to get to our
seats. You spend a small fortune
there on food and drinks but that is
to be expected. We bought t-shirts
too. Gotta have a souvenir.
The game was great and Crunch the mascot was inches away from us several
times - getting the crowd on their feet. In the end the wolves were defeated in the
final minutes but we enjoyed the experience. On our way home we stopped in St.
Cloud at 5 Guys Burgers & Fries for supper. None of us had been there before.
Fantastic service and good burgers. I will visit there again. It was a long fun filled
day and I would definitely do it again.
Stacey
Letter from the Country
It has come to my attention that a number of people in the area have received mailings from a
business calling themselves US PATRIOT SERVICES. The flier says IMPORTANTACT NOW,
and lists a number of FREE services. With a little research it seems that this business recently
sold an urn to a Lakeland Veteran for about four times what it was worth, and has had some legal
problems due to their misleading business practices.
The Free items mentioned in their flier are actually burial benefits available to veterans through
the VA, and not only do they not expire, but cannot be provided prior to your death, so there is no
need to act now. For example, the chosen memorial marker (head stone) includes the date of
death and will not be issued without that date. The MN Veterans Cemetery in Little Falls, does have
a form that can be filled out with the pertinent information for the Veteran and their spouse. It is also
a good idea to record your discharge/ DD214, at Todd County, or at a minimum let your loved ones
know where this important document is kept. This helps ensure things go smoothly when a burial
site is needed.
If you are pre planning your funeral arrangements, I recommend that you start with a local,
trusted funeral home. Dont be afraid to ask questions and shop around. If you think the quoted
price is too high, be wary and compare prices.
If you are overwhelmed by the cost and options, you can also take the easy way out! Donate
your body to science. You would have to enter a contract and sign documents releasing yourself
to the institution of your choice, upon death. There is no cost to you, the institution does all the coor-
dination with the funeral home and your family will get back the cremated remains. If you have
questions about donating your body to the University of Minnesota call 612-625-1111. For other
schools, look up your preferred school and contact them.
Nothing in this article is intended to be offensive, rather informative. If you are over 50, I rec-
ommend that you take some time to sit down and discuss not only your funeral plans but also your
desires related to finances, real estate and end of life care, with your loved ones. Sometimes things
change very quickly, and it is always best to have a plan. If you have any questions related to VA

ASK A TROOPERMailbox pickup and passing on the rightBy Sgt. Jesse Grabow of the Minnesota State Patrol
Question: I watch my neighbors almost every day pull up to their mailboxes on the shoul-
der. The road has a shoulder, but traffic still has to move over to center line. It looks very
unsafe. I have watched traffic flash their lights and honk their horns, but they keep doing it.
What is the rule of the road in this case? I know it would be a lot safer if they just pulled into
heir driveway and walked to the mailbox, but that doesn't work in a "me-me" society. Note:
hey pull into the oncoming shoulder.
Also, while driving home the other night, a car was turning left into a driveway. I was the
hird car behind the turning car. I slowed and moved a little onto the shoulder. The two cars
n front of me passed on the right of the turning car. The truck that was behind me could not
get pass me and was livid! Honking and yelling and flying the bird. I felt bad to slow him down
but I know better than to pass on the right. Was I in the right to block shoulder of the road?
Thank you.
Answer: You cant lawfully drive over the center line (the wrong direction) for any reason
except to make a safe and legal pass. If there is a crash, there is going to be trouble, for sure.
t would be a lot safer (though technically not legal) if it was on a dead end road out in the mid-
dle of nowhere, or on a cul-de-sac or similar, but we see this being done on hills and in no-pass-
ng zones!
For the passing on the right part of your question, you can be over to the right of your lane,
but if you are stopped and are parked on or over the white fog line (marking the shoulder), then
you could be liable if in a crash. Worse yet, you could get hit and injured or killed (along with
someone else). We advise not to do that. Passing on the right is against the law unless theres a lane providelike a bypass laneor if you are driving on a multi-laned highway. A driv-
er can never use the shoulder of a road (paved or unpaved) or a turn lane for passing on the
right. It is safe, and not legal, so we are asking drivers not to do that.
Black ice/blow iceQuestion: Dear protector of humanity, first of all, thank you for the awesome job you folks
do. You are appreciated! I have a husband that refuses to believe there is such a thing as black
ce. Could you clarify and hopefully make a believer out of an individual who could possibly
be a crash waiting to happen? Thank you very much!
Answer: Thank you for those very kind words. Ive been called a lot of things in this profes-
sion, but that one is a first and I truly appreciate it. I would be glad to talk about black ice
and, as I write this (early March), I think its fair to say we have enough unpredictable weath-
er that could affect our roads. Here is my best definition of black ice: A nearly transparent film
of ice on a dark surface, such as a paved road, that is difficult to see. With my nearly 16 years
of service with the Minnesota State Patrol in northern Minnesota, I can assure you that it does
exist. Its rare, because I believe almost all ice is visible due to the sheen it puts out. A personsvision and attentiveness could be the issue, along with the sun and other visibility factors.
Another term that is used in our parts of this great state is blow ice. Troopers and
motorists have been dealing with this for the past two days (March 5 and 6) in west central
Minnesota. I would describe this as, when the wind blows snow across the road, either warmer
emperatures or vehicle tires (or both) cause it to melt and freeze quickly, becoming ice. Just
another way we get slippery roads without freezing rain.
Both issues are reminders to always pay attention. Evaluate your drive as you move along
and immediately reevaluate it. Drivers must focus and concentrate on driving. End your win-
er on a safe note and continue it all year long!
Work zone crashesQuestion: Once in a while I hear about safety in work zones, like road construction zones,
and we all drive through them a lot, thats for sure. How many workers are actually hurt or
killed in them in Minnesota and how many crashes are there in work zones, do we know real-
y?
Answer: Yes, we do know! At the end of 2013 I saw some statistics that you are asking
about. The Department of Public Safety reports that, in the past five years, there were 11,485
work zone crashes, resulting in 4,833 injuries and 54 fatalities (including two worker deaths).
The 2013 data is preliminary so, as data continues to come in, these numbers could go even
higher.
The problem with work zones is that too many drivers are not paying attention and they are
driving too fast. When you see cones, barricades, barrels, signs, work trucks, etc., you need to
slow down immediately and start reading the scene. You may have to reduce your speed
greatly or switch lanes, or even stop. Most drivers wait until the last second to take action
and thats too late. You need to be looking ahead and watching for all kinds of hazards.
As spring and summer approaches, you will see more and more work zones as you travel.
Be careful, pay attention and slow down.
If you have any questions concerning traffic related laws or issues in Minnesota, send your
questions to Trp. Jesse Grabow Minnesota State Patrol at 1000 Highway 10 West, Detroit
Lakes, MN 56501-2205. (You can follow him on Twitter @MSPPIO_NW or reach him at,

TIGER SCHOOL NEWSTigers finish
season with
school record
of 23 winsBy Coach Middendorf
Browerville 50 Minneota 77
Browerville fell behind early
and could never recover as they
bowed out of the 2014 State Girls
Basketball tournament with a 77-
50 loss to Minneota.
The Tigers matched buckets
with the Vikings at 2-2 but
Minneota went on a 11-0 run in the
next five minutes, highlighted by
the inside presence of Taylor Reiss
13 points. Browerville turned the
ball over a number of times in the
first couple of minutes and the vet-
eran Viking squad seized theopportunity. Reiss finished with 22
points in the first half and the
Tigers went into the halftime break
trailing 35-22. Quinn Kircher and
Crystal Pearson combined to score
15 points in the first half to help
keep the orange and black within
striking distance. Kate
Middendorf and Kale Knutson
each knocked down long range
three-pointers as well to aid the
first half scoring.
Browerville cut the lead down to
nine points early in the second half
on a pretty alley-oop play from
Kendra Buchta to Knutson.
Knutson then added a steal and a
bucket to close the lead but nine
points was the closest the Tigers
would get. Browerville had no
answer for Reiss down in the paint
as the junior 2,000 point scorer fin-
ished with 40 points in the game.Pearson connected on 15 more
points in the second half to finish
with a team high 23 points includ-
ing 13 of 18 at the free throw line.
Paige Callahan scored six of her
seven points in the second half
while Knutson added five more
points in the second half to finish
with eight points. Buchta ended
the game with one bucket good for
two points. Browerville finished 17
of 30 at the free throw line while
Minneota countered with a 10 of 16
performance.
Browerville finished the 2013-
2014 season with an overall record
of 23-6. The Tigers graduateCandra Gould from this years
team. All-Conference honors went
to Crystal Pearson, Quinn Kircher,

Cool weather does not
mean strong iceAs snow continues to melt, the
Minnesota Department of Natural
Resources reminds winter recre-
ationists that ice in the Twin Cities
metro area is deteriorating rapidly.
While we have had temperatures
in the 20s or 30s that does not mean
the ice on a lake, pond or river is
safe, said Kara Owens DNR boat
and water safety specialist.
Right now the ice around themetro is in the melting stage and
thickness levels vary from area to
area, she said.
Many metro area lakes are still
ice covered, but both the Mississippi
and St. Croix rivers have open water.
The recent snowfall does not
mean safe ice either. Snow weighs
down on the ice and insulates the ice,
preventing cold air from getting
through.
So far this winter (November to
April), two people have died from
falling through the ice or in open
water compared to six ice fatalities
last winter (2012-2013).
On Jan. 23, a 38-year-old ice fish-
erman died after he broke throughthe ice on the Minnesota River in
Scott County.
Less than a month later, on Feb.
15, an ice fisherman died after
falling into open water inside his
spearfishing house on Maple Lake in
Polk County.
The bottom line is its crucial
that people do not let their guard
down and recognize ice is never 100
percent safe, Owens said.
ATV operators - steer
clear of road ditches in
the agricultural zoneWith warm weather on the way,
many all-terrain vehicle (ATV) riders
are anxious to hit the trails, but the
Department of Natural Resources
reminds riders to be aware of riding
restrictions in some parts of the state
due to wet conditions or closures.
Between April 1 and Aug. 1,
Minnesota law prohibits ATVs from
riding in ditches in the agricultural
zone, that is, the area of the state
south of a line that runs roughly
from Moorhead to Taylors Falls
along Highway 10 and Highway 95.
The area roughly covers the south-
ern half of the state.
During these four months, ATV
riders need to stay out of the road
ditches completely in the agricultur-
al zone, Lt. Leland Owens, DNR
recreational vehicle coordinator said.
In addition to the law prohibiting
ATV use, those road ditches provide
some of the only nesting habitat
available in places.
The ATV restriction does not
apply to grant-in-aid trails or to
ATVs registered and used exclusive-
ly for agricultural purposes.
Owens said that in addition to
potentially disturbing wildlife, ATVs
in wet road ditches can cause erosion
problems and even, in some cases,
damage the roadbed itself.
As they do each spring, the DNR
will need to temporarily close some
state forest roads and trails to ATVoperators due to wet conditions.
All off-highway vehicle riders are
encouraged to check on trail condi-
tions and temporary closures before
planning riding trips to prevent
damage to forest roads and trails.
Trail condition information is
available at www.mndnr.gov
(www.dnr.state.mn.us/current_con-
ditions/index.html) or by calling the
DNR Information Center at 651-296
6157 or toll-free 888-646-6367. The
DNR will also post signs at entry
points and at parking lots in state
forests.

New gardening event,plant swaps
Plant and Garden swaps are a
way to diversify your vegetable
garden, or landscape, without
cost. The idea started with swap-
ping seeds but gradually grew
into an opportunity to trade all
kinds of plants, plant materials,
and garden supplies. Typically
these are free events with few
rules. Just prepare, or dig, your
garden surpluses and bringthem to trade according to your
wishes.
But, prepare well ahead. You
can start with an inventory of
your garden extras. Outdoor or
indoor plant cuttings are a ready
resource especially if you include
written instructions on their
care. Seeds are easily collected,
but label them very precisely by
variety and description. You can
later divide these into postage
envelopes for trading purposes.
Of course, if you are good at
starting plants youre in luck
because strong seedlings will be
popular for trades. You may evenhave mature plants you need to
remove from the house, or some
which must be thinned from the
garden. Finally, be aware that
gardening supplies are also
included. Extra gardening tools,
pots, books, soil amendments,
even garden ornaments can be
good swapping material.
Watch for these opportunities
any time of year. For this region
there is a Spring Plant and
Garden Swap coming on May
31st which will run from 10 AM
to 2 PM at Green Island on the
north edge of Wadena. The spon-
sor is the Wadena Garden Club
and you can get more informa-
tion from a garden club member
or by emailing rscheer@char-
ter.net .
