Bud Grant to Gov. Dayton: Block part of that Legacy bill
|
22.5.2013 |
MinnPost |
| Former Vikings Coach Bud Grant has asked Gov. Mark Dayton to remove from the Legacy Fund bill more than $9 million in funding for metro parks and to fight invasive species.
The Pioneer Press reports that Grant sent a letter to the governor about eliminating those two parts of the Legacy Amendment funding bill that weren't approved by the Lessard-Sams Outdoor Heritage Council, a citizens group that makes recommendation on outdoors spending.
Said the letter:
"If you strike a deal to include projects that went around or ignored the path through the council, you are not being a friend to the sportsmen and women. I would hate to see you jeopardize the valid concerns of those who supported you in your election campaign."
Minneapolis state Rep. Phyllis Kahn has pushed the metro parks funding. The story said:
"The Mississippi Flyway is one of our greatest assets in the state, and it doesn't stop at the metro," Kahn has said. "That duck you shoot in Crow Wing County might have had lunch in ... |

| Boulder will move forward with a number of new requirements for people who walk their dogs off-leash on open space, but City Council members said they want to see more distinction made between violations by humans -- like not picking up waste or walking into a seasonal wildlife closure area -- and violations by dogs like chasing wildlife. |

Need to prevent erosion, enhance ground water
|
22.5.2013 |
Financial Chronicle |
| In life and in death, rivers are an integral part of the human story. Mankind has thrived and civilizations have prospered around them for centuries on end. Be it the Nile or the Ganges, their holy water is said to have blessed many a soul.
Besides us humans, there are many other inhabitants for whom the river is a source of shelter, food and conducive habitat. Like some egg-laying species such as fish, crocodiles, birds and amphibians. An egg being most vulnerable stage in their life cycle, these creatures prefer to lay them around or in the river. Many factors control the growth of these species, they may be natural which are uncontrollable and man-made which we can work on.
One such man-made disturbance--- dams and reservoirs--- control the water regime of the river and in turn govern its ecology. In a developing nation with a mammoth population, our policymakers have designed a mega river-linking project to secure drinking and irrigation water for our needs.

Finding solitude along the still-wild Namekagon
|
22.5.2013 |
MinnPost |
| Earth Journal writer Ron Meador is posting daily this week from the Namekagon River in Wisconsin.
Please don't get me wrong when I say that after a couple of long days paddling with all these people, I was ready for some solitude on the Namekagon River and yesterday I grabbed some.
Our group of 75 or so — the tally shifts from day to day as people join and others drop away — is diverse in every way: ages, origins, backgrounds, interests, paddling experience.
But civility, personal responsibility and respect are common denominators, and good humor is the rule. So is looking after one another, and as I listened last night to the stories of people getting pitched out of their boats and put back in, I noticed that a lot of the putting back in was done by people who count themselves as newbies.
But I've come to believe that most of us who like to travel in canoes or kayaks (and nearly all of us who prefer the latter) need those stretches that are just me, my boat and the water.
