On Thursday, Aug. 8, farm fam-

es from throughout Minnesota

ill gather at Farmfest, an event

eld in Morgan, Minnesota, to rec-

gnize the farm families of the year

one from each of Minnesotas

unties.

Todd Countys family is Mikend Eloise Thorson, vegetable

rmers from Moran Township.

Were very honored, said

loise. Usually its a dairy farmer

hos chosen. Were non-tradition-

farmers vegetable growers.

Mike and Eloise purchased their

20-acre farm in 1972. At first,

they raised livestock and the usual

crops. In 1988, they changed

course, beginning to raise squash

for the wholesale market, and

20,000 free-range chickens deliv-

ered and sold across Minnesota.

Since 2005, the Thorsons have

been raising vegetables and fruits.

They have nine high tunnels, threegreenhouses, and about 20 acres of

vegetable fields. Their products

include sweet corn, tomatoes,

cucumbers, cabbage, potatoes, sev-

eral varieties of squash, sweet pep-

pers, hot peppers, cauliflower, zuc-

chini and the list goes on.

Its important to be as diversi-

fied as you can, said Mike. Then

if one thing fails, you have all the

others. We plant about 20% more

than we need because the deer love

our vegetables and they help them-

selves.

The Thorsons do a lot of the

work themselves, but they also

have help from their son Erik, and

several part-time workers. They

raise all their own plants and

transplant them from the green-

houses and high tunnels using awater wheel transplanter.

In addition to their work as veg-

etable growers, the Thorsons have

other jobs. Mike is on the boards of

directors of Todd Wadena Electric

Co-op, Great River Energy, the

North Dakota Association of Rural

Electric Co-ops, and the Minnesota

Fruit and Vegetable Growers

Association. Eloise is a customized

training representative for Central

Lakes College and has worked with

4-H, Todd County Extension

Committee, Central Regional

Sustainable Development

Partnership, and the Lakes Area

Growers Association.The Thorsons sell their vegeta-

bles in farmers markets around

the area. They travel to St Cloud,

Brainerd, Nisswa, Park Rapids,

and Long Prairie two or three

times each week. They staff some

of these markets themselves, and

others with the help of their son

Erik and other part-timers.

The Thorsons love what they do

and consider themselves lucky to

be providing fresh, healthy food for

people in the area. Most of our cus-

tomers are repeaters, coming back

week after week, Eloise said.

Within the next couple of weeks,

the Thorsons will be setting up a

vegetable stand on the honor sys-

tem in Browerville, in Duanes

Used Car Lot, across from theBrowerville Blade.

The following is the news

release sent from the U of M

Extension

Thorsons named Farm

Family of the Year

Michael and Eloise Thorson

have been named Todd County

Farm Family of the Year

In 1972, after Michael was dis-

charged from the army, Michael

and Eloise Thorson purchased

their 320-acre farm near

Browerville, MN. At the beginning

of their farming career, they raised

livestock and grew traditional irri-

gated crops. In 1988 they began

raising squash for wholesale. Theyalso raised 20,000 range chickens

that were processed and marketed

on their farm. The chickens were

delivered and sold across the state.

Since 2005, the Thorsons have

transitioned to raising vegetables

75Thorsons honored as Todd County Farm Familyof the Year by U of M Extension

A beautiful day for picnics

The Otter Tail County

Sheriff's Department got a call

from a 21-year-old woman

Wednesday night, July 31,

around 9:15 p.m. that gunshots

had been fired at a home just

outside of New York Mills.

Police and EMS say they

found two men with gunshot

wounds. Ethan Honer, 20, was

pronounced dead at the scene

and authorities found Jake

Geiser, 23, unconscious.Geiser was unconscious and

taken to the Wadena Tri-County

Hospital, then airlifted to a hos-

pital in St. Cloud, where he died.

Witness say the 23-year-old

man shot the 20-year-old man

before shooting himself.

Friends say Geiser is the ex-

boyfriend to a woman who,

authorities say, was Honer's

current girlfriend.

There are still a lot of ques-

tions as to who lived in the trail-

er where the shooting hap-

pened, and what the men were

doing there. A 21-year-oldwoman that called 911 reporting

the gun shots at the trailer, but

authorities would not confirm if

she is the girlfriend involved.

Double shooting in New York

Mills still under investigation

Both the Annual Clotho Ice Cream Social and the Todd County Farmers Union Picnic were held on Sunday afternoon. Attendees of both events enjoyed a

eautiful sunny afternoon to enjoy a great meal and visit with friends and family members. Additional photos on page 12.

Mike and Eloise Thorson have been named the Todd

County Farm Family of the Year.

Library looks for feed-back on open hours

Great River Regional Library(GRRL) wants to know when youd

like to use the library.

The library has posted an open

hours survey on its website, griv-

er.org. Staff want to know:

Which GRRL location you use

the most

Whether you would prefer the

library to be open the same hours

each day or a range of morning,

afternoon, and evening hours

What day(s) of the week you

use the library

Which day of the week you

wish the library was open

What time of day you are

most likely to use the library Which time of day you wish

the library was open

GRRL is the library system that

operates 32 public libraries in

Benton, Morrison, Sherburne,

Stearns, Todd and Wright

Counties. GRRL provides the staff,

materials and technology for

library service; local municipalities

provide the buildings. Open hours

are set by GRRL.

Library open hours range from

20 to 59 hours per week, depending

on activity level and community

size. In general, the libraries in

small communities are open fewer

hours than those in larger commu-nities. GRRL staff review library

use each year, determining not only

the quantity of material checked

out, but also the times of day when

libraries are busiest.

A lot of what goes on at the

library is recorded on our comput-

ers. That information provides a

mine of data we are able to use to

determine how busy we are, said

Karen Pundsack, GRRLs Patron

Services Coordinator. What we

dont know is how many people

might use the library if the hours

changed. We hope the survey can

provide some of that information.

The survey will be availablethrough August. Staff will review

the data and make any necessary

changes for 2014.

Cover Crop/PreventedPlant EQIP Sign-up

NRCS is announcing a 2013

Cover Crop/Prevented Plant EQIP

sign-up through August 16th. This

program offers payments ranging

from $43-$125 per acre on fields

where a cover crop will be planted.

Requirements for this program are

to seed the cover crop this year and

have at least 2 species in the mix.

Our office has various seed mix rec-

ommendations available that havebeen put together to solve different

resource concerns. Eligible acres

can be any cropland acres, not just

prevented plant acres. If you are

interested in cover crops or know

anyone who may be, dont hesitate

to stop by or call the Long Prairie

NRCS before the August 16th

deadline. Our office is located in

the Ag Service Center at 607 9th

Street NE, Long Prairie and we

can be reached via telephone at

320-732-6618 ext. 3.

Why plant a cover crop? Since

late spring planting and prolonged

rain has resulted in many fields

that will go unplanted this year,farmers in this situation should

consider alternate options to

ensure long-term productivity from

this difficult situation. Planting

cover crops has the potential to

capture applied nutrients, fix nitro-

gen, build organic matter, control

weeds, control erosion and improve

soil quality during the remainder

of the season. These benefits can

build considerable yield potential

for the following crops. With the

possible prevented planting pay-

ment and the improved yield

potential following a full season

cover crop, the economic prospec-

tive for the whole rotation could behuge!

Meir Grove CommunityBand at Music in the Park

The Meire Grove Community

Band will perform at Music in the

Park in Staples on Sunday, August

11, at 7:00 PM.

The Meire Grove Community

Band represents a rich history and

tradition that once flourished in

nearly every Minnesota small

town. Located in Stearns County

with a population of only 125 peo-

ple, this small farming communityboasts of having the oldest, contin-

uously-performing community

band in the entire state of

Minnesota. The band was organ-

ized in 1883!

The current director is Vern

Meyer, who is in his 57th year of

wielding the baton. After graduat-

ing from St. Johns University, Mr.

Meyer served as a high school band

director in Bertha-Hewitt and

Melrose until the lure of the land

and a life style called him back to

the family farm.

The members have their family

roots in the predominantly

German heritage of Meire Grove.The love of music that exists

among the band members and in

the community, and because talent

and an instrument seems to

have passed on from father or

mother to son and/or daughter, sis-

ter and/or brother, is an integral

reason for the bands continued

success.

Band membership includes

musicians of all ages (12 to 70+)

who work together to provide qual-

ity band performances. The music

the band performs focuses on tradi-

tional American marches, concert

band pieces and folk music. For

the younger musicians, playingwith a mature ensemble expands

their music education, sharpens

their performance skills and gives

them unique experiences to take

back to their school bands.

The Music in the Park Concerts

are held in the Northern Pacific

(NP) Park on Sunday evenings at

7:00 PM and will run through

August 18. For more information

Some interesting facts about the 1500's

Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May, and they

still smelled pretty good by June.. However, since they were starting to smell, brides car-

ried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor, hence the custom today of carrying a bou-

quet when getting married. Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water. The man

of the house had the privilege of the nice clean water, then all the other sons and men,

then the women and finally the children, last of all the babies. By then the water was so dirty you could

actually lose someone in it. Hence the saying, "Don't throw the baby out with the bath water!"

Houses had thatched roofs-thick straw piled high, with no wood underneath. It was the only place for

animals to get warm, so all the cats and other small animals (mice, bugs) lived in the roof. When it rained

it became slippery and sometimes the animals would slip and fall off the roof. Hence the saying, "It's

raining cats and dogs."

The floor was dirt. Only the wealthy had something other than dirt. Hence the saying, "Dirt poor."

The wealthy had slate floors that would get slippery in the winter when wet, so they spread thresh

(straw) on the floor to help keep their footing.. As the winter wore on, they added more thresh until, when

you opened the door, It would all start slipping outside. A piece of wood was placed in the entrance-way.

Hence: a thresh hold.

Bread was divided according to status..workers got the burnt bottom of the loaf, the family got the mid-

dle, and guests got the top, or the upper crust.

Identify your problems but give your power and energy to solutions. .......Tony Robbins

Penne Pasta with Spinach and Bacon1 (12 ounce) package penne pasta

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

6 slices bacon, chopped

2 tablespoons minced garlic

1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes

1 bunch fresh spinach, rinsed and torninto bite-size pieces

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the penne pasta,

and cook until tender, 8 to 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Place bacon in the skillet, and cook until browned and crisp. Add garlic,

and cook for about 1 minute. Stir in the tomatoes, and cook until heated

through.

Place the spinach into a colander, and drain the hot pasta over it so it

is wilted. Transfer to a large serving bowl, and toss with the remaining

olive oil, and the bacon and tomato mixture.

Damon and the boys stopped over while I was mowing the lawn

last week. Since Id been mowing for a while, the battery Ive been

stealing out of the lawn mower to use on the trolling motor was

charged up. They wanted me to go fishing with them. When the kids

want to go fishing, whats a person to do? I can blame not getting the

lawn mowed on the kids.

We grabbed our gear, pulled the battery out of the mower, and off

we went, trolling the weed beds along the edge of the lake. The after-

noon was unusually cool and pleasant. We all caught a fish or two

and were feeling pretty good about life when Trevor set his hook and

started losing line. His rod was bent over and the reel was scream-

ing as he reeled and his fish ran. I reached around and tightened the

drag on the reel which made his rod bend over more, but he still

made little progress on bringing in the line. Trevor reeled frantical-

ly, keeping the line tight, which

eventually tired the fish. As he

rought it to the side of the boat, Damon helped him land a nice

ive and a half pound bass. Big bass always get released, but not

efore they get their pictures taken. Weve found, if a person

wants bass to eat, the one to two pound ones taste much better.

Big bass are also capable of producing many more offspring than

he little ones. The rule at our lake has become; anything over five

ounds gets released, even if there is a fish fry. Pictures were

aken and Trevor put his trophy back to fight again another day.

A few minutes later, Zane caught a bass that weighed about a

ound or so. Since Trevor had his picture taken, Zane needed a

icture with his fish. He laughed when we told him, not every fish

warrants a picture. I was casting toward the deep water with a

mall green minnow and doing quite well on crappies while the

est of the boat was working the shore with plastic worms and large spinners trying for the big bass.

was catching fish at a rate of about 3:1 to the rest of the boat, but all mine were small. When Damon

or the kids caught one, it would easily make up for several of

mine. Zane yelled, fish on as though we were deep sea fishing,

and I felt the boat start to turn. He had a bass on that was ready

for a fight. It ran toward the deep water pulling the end of the

boat around and swam back under the boat bending Zanes rod

down touching the water. When he was finally able to land the

fish, it was only three pounds, but again required a picture. I

had to agree, a fish that put up a fight like that needed to have

his picture taken. It still had plenty of fight left when he tried to

hold it up for the picture so his dad told him to hold it by the

mouth. Some part of the directions were lost in communication.

Zane put his fist in the large mouth of the large mouth bass,

grabbed its tail, and posed. Perhaps having a fist in its mouth

calmed the fish down because it was still for the picture and

none the worse for the treatment when we turned it loose.

The lawn will always need to be mowed but the boys will not always want to go fishing with their

ad and grandpa. I think we made the right choice to go fishing when we can.

The right choice

By Walter Scott

OMG! I think thats the right acronym, isnt it? Either way, You get my point... I obviously

survived my skydive on Friday. Not only did we survive, it was the single best experience of

my entire life! Next to Jordan and Nicholas being born. Jordan was so excited that as soon

as we got back on the ground we both wanted to get back on the plane and do it again. We

are already planning a second jump, as soon as possible. The only thing that would have made

the experience better is if Nicholas could have jumped with us. We have all agreed we will cer-

tainly do another jump next summer when he turns 18.

The entire experience was enjoyable from start to finish. After checking in you watch a

short safety video, then go through about ten minutes of basic instructions before being suit-

ed up and being introduced to your jump partner. After watching a couple of loads of jumpers

go up and successfully land back at the airport, it was our turn. It takes about ten minutes to

climb to our jump height of 14,000 feet. As soon as you reach the elevation, there is no delay,

the door of the plane opens, and people start jumping out with their instructors. Once out of

the plane, too hard to even explain that sensation, you free fall for 60 seconds, covering 8,500

feet before deploying the chute. When the chute opens you decelerate from 120 mph to about

20mph in about one second. One heck of a jolt. But, as my instructor stated, thats a good

thing, otherwise you have a problem, but you would get to enjoy a little more free fall before

hitting the ground at 120 mph. The remaining 5,500 feet took about five minutes to complete

under the chute, and the view is amazing. All in all I would recommend that if you have ever

thought about skydiving and you are not afraid of heights, do it! Beware though, there is a good

chance you wont be able to stop at just one.....

Well I better cut this short and get the paper done. Glad to be able to.

Aaron.

World Breastfeeding Week / Breastfeeding Awareness Month August 2013Todd County Women, Infants and Children Program and Maternal Child Health Nurses Support Breastfeeding

BREASTFEEDING SUPPORT: CLOSE TO MOTHERS

Minnesota Breastfeeding Awareness Month (August) is celebrated in conjunction with World Breastfeeding Week

hich is celebrated worldwide August 1-7, 2013. The 2013 World Breastfeeding Week theme, Breastfeeding Support:

ose to Mothers, highlights the importance of providing support to breastfeeding families.

Breastfeeding is important for both mother and baby. Human milk is tailored to the needs of the human infant.

esearch shows that infants who are not exclusively breastfed for their first six months of life are more likely to devel-

p a wide range of chronic and acute diseases, including ear infections, diarrheal diseases, asthma, Sudden Infanteath Syndrome, obesity and respiratory illnesses. Mothers also benefit from breastfeeding with a decreased risk for

east and ovarian cancers.

In Minnesota the majority of mothers breastfeed. However many stop breastfeeding earlier than planned, or do not

eastfeed at all, because they face multiple and complex barriers that keep them from achieving their personal breast-

eding goals. Support and encouragement from family, friends, employers, communities, health care and child care

oviders reduces barriers and helps mothers who wish to breastfeed overcome the barriers they do encounter.

WIC staff throughout Minnesota answers questions, help address barriers, provide information to pregnant women

nd assist new mothers in getting off to a great start with breastfeeding. The Todd County WIC and Maternal Child

ealth offers these services to support pregnant and breastfeeding women.

Other sources of breastfeeding support in communities include public health, hospital IBCLCs, La Leche League

nd (insert other support opportunities in your community.) An IBCLC is a certified healthcare professional with spe-

al knowledge and experience assisting breastfeeding families. Mothers can also find a local IBCLC to help them with

eastfeeding questions and concerns by visiting the Find a Lactation Consultant Directory. Both directories can be

und at HYPERLINK "http://www.ILCA.org/"www.ILCA.org .

World Breastfeeding Week is coordinated globally by the World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action (WABA). For more

formation, visit the WABAwebsite at HYPERLINK "http://www.waba.org.my/"www.waba.org.my . To learn more about

reastfeeding in your community, contact your local WIC agency or MCH nurses at 320-732-4458/888-838-4066.

TO ALL THE TRUE PATRIOTS THAT FOLLOW THE CENTRAL MINNESOTA TEA PARTY PATRIOT'S -AN UPDATE ON THE EVENT STARRING BRIGITTE GABRIEL, JULY 29TH:

The report on the event we held at the Little Falls Community High School was that it was totally awesome! It was

such a huge success that we filled the auditorium to capacity; unfortunately, the fire marshal had to make the call to

turn some away because of this (maximum of 650)! A nice problem to have, but I am so sorry and apologize to those

who were not allowed to attend! Only 5-7 protesters, unlike what we were expecting. he City and Law Enforcement

were prepared and they did a fantastic job - everyone, including our speaker, felt very comfortable and safe with their

presence! I feel the School Superintendent, Mr. Stephen Jones, and his staff should be commended for what they did

to make the event happen, and making sure we understood and stayed within their policy guidelines!

The message Brigitte brought was powerful and expressed with such warmth and love for our country and we need

not take it lightly or our freedoms will disappear and our country will be destroyed from within! She spoke of the

Education Program ACT! for America. Please go to their website and find out more about it! We need to monitor whatis being taught in our schools to see what and how they are teaching our impressionable children! And, I have to say,

her tribute to the Veterans was a smashing finish! I doubt there was a dry eye in the place! I received a note from a Vet

stating that in his last 50 years, no one has ever given such a tribute! I was told by someone else that it meant just as

much to their spouses - they were beaming too and so proud of their men and women!

I may have gotten this event going and coordinated it, but you know it just does not happen by itself. This is a mes-

sage about teamwork on how the surrounding tea party groups, conservative groups, and many others all worked

together on this - everyone emailing and forwarding, etc. to spread the word. The volunteers just dug in and did what

needed to be done so everything ran smoothly. Our tea party group has a goal to EDUCATE, MOTIVATE, AND ACTI-

VATE and, even if I have to say it myself, this event was first class! We were all proud to have such a first-class speak-

er to our community!

Out shortly will be information on our next community meeting for August 12th featuring a speaker, Gary Hukreide,

formerly of Eagle Bend, and Founder of Sylvan Learning Centers, on Common Core Curriculum. What do you know

about the national education program (one size fits all) that our President wants in effect within 24 months? This is an

event that Superintendents, Teachers, School Board members, parents, and concerned citizens all need to attend!

Information on this coming soon - share it when it comes out.

Thank you all,

Nancy Judd on behalf of Central Minnesota Tea Party Patriots

Loren Miller, Chairman

DNR offers livestock

producers emergency

haying on 43 WMAsA severe livestock forage

shortage has prompted state

wildlife managers to identify 922

acres on 43 wildlife management

areas (WMA) in 22 Minnesota

counties where emergency hay-

ing will benefit wildlife, the

Minnesota Department of

Natural Resources (DNR) said.

Haying opportunities on state

wildlife management areas will

only occur where habitatenhancement plans already are

in place to disturb grasslands

through burning, mowing or

grazing, said Bob Welsh, DNR

wildlife habitat program manag-

er. The DNR is glad to help live-

stock producers during a time of

need while long-term wildlife

habitat conservation and

improvement remains the pri-

mary goal.

Because of a forage shortage

due to winter kill of alfalfa and

the late spring, Gov. Mark

Dayton in June sent a letter to

U.S. Secretary of Agriculture

Tom Vilsack asking that all fed-eral conservation lands in

Minnesota be considered as

potential sources of emergency

forage. He also asked state offi-

cials to identify similar grazing

and haying opportunities on

state conservation lands where

consistent with the purpose of

those lands.

The conservation grazing

opportunities are located

throughout Minnesota where

haying could be allowed and

would accomplish habitat conser-

vation management objectives.

Identified sites include areas in

need of prescribed fire where

burns were not accomplished;

areas where haying or mowing

can be done sooner than original-

ly planned; and areas where hay-

ing can replace or enhance other

planned grassland disturbances

such as mowing or grazing.

Welsh said wildlife managers

were not able to identify any

other conservation grazing

opportunities beyond those

already planned because of the

limited time and lack of existing

infrastructure such as fencing

and water supplies.

Only Minnesota livestock pro-

ducers who need forage for their

own livestock are eligible to cut

hay on WMAs. Counties withpotential sites include Blue

Earth, Clearwater, Cottonwood,

Faribault, Fillmore, Goodhue,

Houston, Jackson, Kittson, Le

Sueur, Marshall, Martin,

McLeod, Mille Lacs, Nicollet,

Olmsted, Otter Tail, Roseau,

Sibley, Wabasha, Wilkin and

Winona.

Availability of haying opportu-

nities was delayed to August to

get beyond the peak wildlife

nesting season. Specific condi-

tions will vary depending on con-

servation needs of a site but, gen-

erally, sites will not be hayed

after Sept. 13; areas hayed willnot contain tree plantings, food

plots, water control structures,

wetland basins or stream banks;

and cutting should begin in the

center of the area to be hayed so

animals have an escape route.

Livestock producers have

until Friday, Aug. 9, to contact

area wildlife managers about

emergency haying opportunities.

Contact information for area

wildlife managers by county is

available at

agers.pdf.

Online learners offered

field experience at Aug.

11 deer clinicThe Department of Natural

Resources (DNR) invites women

and men who have completed

Minnesotas new virtual online

firearms safety certification range

and field day to attend Deer Day on

Sunday, Aug. 11.

Deer Day is a great complement

to the new online adult hunter edu-

cation course and virtual field day.

Deer Day provides hands-on expe-

riences with a variety of firearms

and basics of how to hunt deer.

The event, hosted by the DNRs

Becoming An Outdoors Family pro-gram, will be from 9:30 a.m. until

3:30 p.m. on the Wilkens Farm

near Mora in Kanabec County.

Youth, ages 10 and older, are wel-

comed to attend accompanied by a

guardian.

The deer hunting clinic is an

excellent opportunity for individu-

als who chose the virtual range and

field day option to have one-on-one

time with instructors to handle

firearms, target shoot and and gain

insights into deer biology and hunt-

ing. said Linda Bylander, coordi-

nator of the DNRs Becoming An

Outdoors Woman program.

Though open to all ages 10 andolder, this hunting clinic places a

premium on assisting women and

families in a supportive and friend-

ly environment.

Register for the deer clinic by

emailing Linda Bylander at

[email protected].

Registration is limited. Lunch

will be served.

The virtual online firearms

course takes about nine hours to

complete and is interactive with

narration, quizzes and final exam.

Information about the course and

other safety classes is available on

the DNR website at

www.mndnr.gov/safety.

By Rin Porter, District One Commission Member

and Vice Chair

The Todd County Planning Commission held a public hearing onThursday, Aug. 1, at 7 PM at the Historic Courthouse in Long

Prairie. Fifteen members of the public attended.

Present were Commission members Jim Pratt, Mike Wiener,

Lloyd Graves, Gene Irsfeld and Rin Porter; Board liaison

Commissioner Rod Erickson; staff members Linda Bleess, secretary,

and Tim Stieber, Director of the SWCDD.

Three items were on the agenda. The results of the public hear-

ing were as follows:

1. Angelo Smieja, application for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP)

to operate an internet auction site in an existing building located in

Section 8 of Round Prairie township, in a Rural Townsite zone on

U.S. 71. The Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of

the CUP to the county board with three conditions.

2. Willliam Swartzentruber, application for a CUP after-the-fact

to operate a commercial sawmill in an existing building and to

expand the building, and to establish a temporary housing unit for

family members in an existing building. The commission voted torecommend approval of the CUP to the county board with eight con-

ditions.

3. Charles Anderson, request to accept an Environmental

Assessment Worksheet (EAW) review and findings of fact for the

creation of a 14-lot residential subdivision on the west side of Fairy

Lake in Section 29 and Section 20 of Kandota Township. The

Commission voted to recommend a negative declaration for an

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to the county board. (A

negative declaration means that an EIS is not required.)

The next meeting of the Planning Commission will be held on

Sept. 5 at 7 PM at the Historic Courthouse in Long Prairie.
