She ran her first sled dog race at age 11 in Mush for a Cure an annual 25-mile race that raises money for breast cancer re-search Jessica has now raced in Mush for a Cure six times and always dedicates her run to someone who has been affected by breast cancer This year she decided to recognize Pam Taylor and she raised $2700 Along with the personal satisfac-tion she also won an award for being the first team off the lake and she only had six dogs

Jessica and her mother Julie Collman also volunteer for the Beargrease Sled Dog Race each year However Jessica seemed hesitant about racing the Beargrease herself

ldquoI donrsquot know Irsquom not sure if Irsquod want to ever do Beargrease Maybe someday I guess but I think Irsquoll stick with Mush for a Cure right nowrdquo she says ldquoI just love rais-ing the money and helping outrdquo

At age 10 Jessica also started taking log-rolling classes from Jenny Atkinson Jessica proved to be very talented and has made it to the Lumberjack World Championships in Hayward Wis Last year she placed first and was able to turn professional She has also competed in the Minnesota State Championships and came in fourth out of 12 To show off her skills she will be performing three shows a day at this yearrsquos Fishermanrsquos Picnic with Jenny Atkinson She will also be compet-ing in the chainsaw competition

Preparing for Broadband

By Jim Boyd

The words ldquoteleworkrdquo and ldquotelecommuterdquo donrsquot trip lightly off the tongue Mention them and you likely will get a vacant look in response Thatrsquos because they donrsquot tell you what someone does just how they do it by remote computer connection

And yet the two words may together capture Cook Countyrsquos greatest hope for sustainable low-impact economic development especially de-velopment that makes it possible for more young families to put down roots here

Linda Luebchow knows all about telework Itrsquos what she does every day from the small office she rents at Cook County Higher Educationrsquos North Shore Campus Luebchow works for the immunization registry at the Minnesota Department of Health

When Luebchowrsquos husband retired from his teaching position several years ago the couple moved permanently to their home near Paradise Beach east of Grand Marais

ldquoIf it hadnrsquot been for this (teleworking arrangement)rdquo Luebchow says ldquoI would have had to retire too And I didnrsquot want to do thatrdquo

Luebchow is an ardent advocate for the benefits telework promises Cook County especially once Arrowhead Electricrsquos fiber-optic broad-band network is complete Then everyone on the countyrsquos electrical grid will have the ability to work via computer from home Until then most telework is limited to Grand Marais and a few CenturyLink DSL nodes Thatrsquos why Luebchow rents space from Higher Ed

Itrsquos Already HereIn 2010 there were 140 residents of Cook County who worked for em-

ployers in Duluth the Twin Cities Grand Rapids and other cities ac-cording to the US Census Many perhaps most of them telecommute ndash connecting with their employers via computer connections

ldquoTelecommutingrdquo comes in many flavors At one end of the spectrum it can involve employees working on their own and connecting occa-sionally via email or Skype At the other end it involves someone mak-ing a daily connection between their computer and their company net-work located elsewhere

The latter workers tend to connect via something called a ldquovirtual pri-vate networkrdquo or VPN With a VPN connection itrsquos as if remote work-ers were actually in the company office

VPN connections and dial-up or satellite Internet get along about as well as a Model A and a trip to the moon They donrsquot

That said some telecommuters are doing amazing things from Cook County already designing software writing technical manuals editing books selling real estate managing nonprofits working as chemists and physicistsand project managers

A recent informal survey of county telecommuters also elicited a num-ber of comments from people who a) live in the Twin Cities now tele-commute to jobs elsewhere in the Twin Cities and are eager to move that work to Cook County or b) work elsewhere but plan to begin telecom-

muting and move to Cook County once Arrowhead inaugurates broad-band service

From this anecdotal information it seems clear that Cook County will get a substantial economic and population boost from the advent of Ar-rowhead broadband This will happen without much effort beyond Ar-rowhead lighting up its fiber-optic network A much more determined effort will be required to create telework opportunities for young people just starting out especially those who have no skills that lend them-selves to telework

Making It HappenJulie May manages work-at-home programs for UnitedHealthCare

in the Twin Cities Shersquos responsible for 10000 teleworkers including 3000 in Minnesota ndash most of whom do not live in the Twin Cities

Creating a strong community telework environment May says should involve local government people responsible for local economic devel-opment educational institutions and broadband providers She lists three primary responsibilities

Marketing yourself as a teleworker-friendly community to those who would like to live on the North Shore and who may not know telework is possible from here

Making connections with area community colleges to ensure training is available for local residents in career areas easily adaptable to tele-work In the absence of a local community college this chore falls to Cook County Higher Education CCHE executive director Paula Sundet Wolf is aware of and exploring this need

Developing and marketing a broadband telework package to potential telework employers This May says involves the local telcoms (Cen-turyLink and Arrowhead Electric) creating service packages that best meet telework requirements (She recommends 15 Mbps download and 2 Mbps upload Asymmetrical service is best she says) setting an attrac-tive price for the service and developing the resources to provide same-day service responses when problems inevitably arise Before employers seriously will consider hiring teleworkers May says they must be as-sured of stable connections stable pricing and quick service-response times

Some time ago UnitedHealthCare created a customer-service call cen-ter in a remote Texas community where job opportunities were minimal They only pay $8-$15 per hour But the work is full-time year-round and provides vacation health-care and other benefits From the perspective of Cook County workers surviving on part-time seasonal jobs paying the same wage those UnitedHealthCare jobs would look pretty good

A strange sad irony of this legislative session is that efforts to save wolves from hunting may lead to the deaths of some dogs by trapping Efforts to revisit the regulations regarding the use of body-grip traps which critics say are responsible for killing several dogs every year in Minnesota have been stymied by legislators who say they will not introduce any trapping bills in 2013 for fear that anti-wolf hunting measures may be attached to them

The issue of body-grip traps and dogs is not new For years dog owners have complained often after losing a pet about the le-thal consequences of a dog being inadvertently caught in a body-grip trap which is designed to kill quickly The dog owner may have even been there when the incident occurred but lacked the ability to remove the trap before it killed the dog The Minne-sota DNR has always acknowledged such incidents occur but essentially brushes them off as insignificant on a statewide basis

But dog deaths suddenly became significant a couple of years ago when a handful of dog owners most of whom had lost dogs in body-grip traps decided to do something about the issue They formed a group Dog Lovers 4 Safe Trapping to push for reform of the rules for using body-grip traps Most of the mem-bers are the owners of hunting dogs They emphasize that while they are seeking changes to trapping rules they are not opposed to trapping

ldquoOur group tries very hard to distance ourselves from anti trap-ping and hunting organizationsrdquo says Dog Lovers 4 Safe Trap-ping MN board member and hunter Brett Harberts of Emily

Unlike foothold traps which are designed to capture and hold an animal by its foot body-grips are intended to kill an animal quickly by closing on its neck They are also commonly called ldquoConibearrdquo traps after inventor Frank Conibear While they come in sizes small enough for muskrats to large enough for beavers the mid-sized traps sizes 160 and 220 are of greatest concern to dog owners In Minnesota both traps may be set on the ground either in a baited set or as unbaited set along a trail The beaver-sized 330 body-grip must be at least half-submerged in water which makes it much less likely to inadvertently cap-ture dogs or other unintended animals

Last year the Legislature tweaked body-grip rules so that 160s and 220s used in baited sets must be recessed seven inches from the top of an enclosure or placed at least three feet off the ground Unbaited body-grips must be at least 20 feet from any attractant These statewide rules are significantly less restrictive than rules put in place several years ago to protect the federally threatened Canada lynx in northeastern Minnesota According to the lynx rules any 160 or 220 placed on the ground must be set in a cubby with the trap a minimum of seven inches from the opening The opening may not exceed 50 square inches which is a 7- by 7-inch square Unbaited trail sets are not allowed

Here in the northeast Irsquove heard few if any reports of dogs

being killed in body-grips since the lynx rules were adopted The same cannot be said of the statewide rule The Dog Lovers 4 Safe Trapping MN website notes the organization documented 13 dogs killed between Oct 20 and Dec 31 2012 the first trap-ping season for which the new statewide rules were in effect An additional 7 dogs were killed between Jan 1 and Mar 15 2012 before the rules were enacted This means a total of 20 dogs were killed by traps in Minnesota during 2012

Harberts says in contrast Wisconsin has reported very few dog deaths due to body-grips since changing its trapping rules in the

Spring forward with Lutsen Resortrsquos ldquoSpring Food amp Wine Weekendrdquo April 5-6 and savor the early harvest

This outstanding culinary event one of two exciting wine dinners held in the county each spring will highlight the harvest at this time of year said Rob Wells executive chef at Lutsen Resort

Wells and guest chef Mike DeCamp chef de cuisine at La Belle Vie in Minneapolis are working together to create a truly won-derful food experi-ence with the fresh-est ingredients of the season

Think lamb and leeks newly harvested greens wild mush-rooms and spring onions and then sit back and let the chefs decide how to create with them

Thatrsquos about how this food and wine week-end has evolved Wells said

ldquoWe came up with the basic idea ndash spring harvestrdquo he said ldquoThings are just coming into season right now and that focuses us on what we want to dordquo

The two chefs decided they would work to-gether to create tasty hors drsquooeuvres for the re-ception and wine tasting on Friday night and then alternate courses for the formal 6-course dinner with wine pairings on Saturday night

DeCamp who is an award-winning chef and a finalist in the James Beard national chef con-test this year for Best Chef-Midwest will do the first third and fifth courses Wells will do the second fourth and dessert

ldquoFor the second course ndash salads and soups

ndash leeks popped into my mind immediatelyrdquo Wells said ldquoTheyrsquore coming out of the ground right now ndash so leek souprdquo

Early vegetables like pea shoots and wild mushrooms were a natural for his fourth course and dessert includes mint a reliable early spring taste

The other half of dinner is the wine pairings that will complement and expand the food

experienceAndrew Beavers

wine and beverage manager at Lutsen Resort was given the menu and began re-searching what wines would be spectacular with these foods

Beavers said he de-cided to go with Or-egon wines for the six-course meal

ldquoI had a taste of the Oregon wine portfo-lio and it was wonder-fulrdquo he said ldquoItrsquos such a great region for this time of year The food is going to be spring and the dishes will be light I think these wines will play well with thatrdquo

Beavers said the Friday evening hors-

drsquooeuvres event will feature ldquoreally nice high-end hors drsquooeuvres and wersquoll taste from four to six wines Itrsquos more of a causal open feelrdquo

The Saturday night event is formalldquoI give a brief description of each wine before

the pairingrdquo he said ldquoThen the chef will come out and speak about what they did with a par-ticular course Itrsquos really funrdquo

The wines he chooses are not typically avail-able at a neighborhood beer store but larger wine shops will carry them and they can be found online he said

ldquoWhat I really focus on when Irsquom trying to put

this together is getting wines that people donrsquot have in their house We want it to be special ndash evocative of a wine tasting very experientialrdquo

Guests are welcome to stay at the resort for the weekend so they donrsquot have to drive Wells said

ldquoWe encourage people to stay We do shuttles for people And we generally do these dinners on nights when we are slower so there are plen-ty of rooms availablerdquo

People come year after year for the event he said

ldquoThey come to Lutsen and have a really nice wine dinner and make a vacation out of itrdquo

Bluefin By Resort also will hold a Food amp Wine Lovers Weekend May 3-4 featuring Chef Judi Barsness The event will feature a four-course dinner with wine pairings on Friday night a wine tasting on Saturday af-ternoon and a five-course dinner with wine pairings on Saturday night

late 1990s At the time Wisconsin was among several states that modified trapping rules fol-lowing the national development of Best Man-agement Practices (BMPs) for trapping Min-nesota chose not to incorporate BMPs into its trapping regulations In fact aside the statersquos trapping regulations have been largely un-changed for decades

The same could be said of the mindset of the statersquos wildlife bureaucracy and state trapping leaders both of whom have been reluctant to take the concerns of dog owners seriously per-haps from a fear that by doing so they would be taking a step down a slippery slope toward and eventual all-out trapping ban

The problem is Minnesota has changed In 1980 Minnesotarsquos population was just over 4 million In 2012 the population was estimated at nearly 54 million During that time frame wersquove seen a tremendous outmigration to rural areas especially in the lakes region by people seeking a better quality of life Very often that quality of life involves spending more time outdoors Trappers are no longer alone They are now joined by bird hunters using pointers and retrievers hounds used to pursue raccoons coyotes rabbits and other critters No less im-portant are the many rural dwellers who take their dogs along when hiking skiing and winter camping Itrsquos fair to say none of these folks wants their dog to be at risk of being killed in a trap

In recent years the Minnesota Trappers Association has run an advertisement in the state hunting regulations booklet showing how to remove an animal from a body-grip trap From my own experience us-ing body-grips I donrsquot believe the Average Joe or Jill would have the know-how or physical strength to quickly remove a

body-grip from their petHarberts says Dog Lovers 4 Safe Trapping

MN may have been stymied by the 2013 Leg-islature but they arenrsquot going away until dogs are safe from body-grip traps It wonrsquot be easy to change existing rules because trappers and wildlife bureaucrats are reluctant to give up body-grip trapping techniques that are effec-tive and convenient for trappers Harberts says his group and the Minnesota Trail Hound As-sociation continue to have cordial discussions with trappers on the issue but have made little progress toward resolution Until they do so more folks are likely to lose their hunting dogs and family pets

Killing 20 dogs in a year is unacceptable especially when nearly all of those losses are preventable Itrsquos time for the DNR to act like professional wildlife managers and address the issue The agencyrsquos goal should be to have zero dogs killed in body-grips The DNR needs to take the appropriate steps to achieve that goal through a combination of conflict resolution and new trapping rules While making chang-es to protect dogs may inconvenience trappers there doesnrsquot appear to be any evidence from Wisconsin or other states that doing so will have any effect on the fur harvest Itrsquos past time for Minnesota to make the changes necessary to protect dogs from body-grip traps

The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) has partnered with Sawtooth Mountain Clinic and the Grand Portage Band of Lake Superior Chippewa to conduct a study of 500 Cook County women of childbearing age to help determine why Cook County newborns exhibit high levels of mercury The study is funded by a grant from the Environmental Protection Agency

This new study comes on the heels of a 2007-2011 study of mercury levels in 1465 newborns in the Lake Superior Basin in which MDH participated along with the Wisconsin and Michi-gan departments of health That study found that 10 percent of newborns in the Minnesota region of the study have mercury levels above the EPArsquos safe level with a particularly high concen-tration of high mercury levels in Cook County newborns

Because developing nervous systems are particularly vulner-able to the harmful effects of mercury the MDH wanted to work with Cook County clinics to see if they could reduce newborn mercury levels said Pat McCann of the MDH who is the lead on the Cook County study Fetal exposure to methylmercury (the type of mercury found in fish) can lead to issues with cognition memory attention language and fine motor and visual spatial skills in children

ldquoOne good way to help with mercury levels is to work with health care providers since thatrsquos where women get most of their health informationrdquo said McCann

This new study will allow the MDH to do just that The exact role of Sawtooth Mountain Clinic and the Grand Portage band has not yet been exactly determined However McCann said the study will work to determine why Cook County newborns have high levels of mercury and work to better educate expectant mothers about which types of fish are safe to eat

McCann said they plan to begin enrolling Cook County women in the study in January 2014 and will continue to enroll women for about a year Women who qualify for the study will be asked to participate when they go in for a regularly scheduled appointment

At this point in the studyrsquos development McCann said she believes participants will be asked to complete a questionnaire about their fish-eating habits and also submit a blood sample The blood sample will be used to test participantsrsquo levels of mer-cury and Omega 3 fatty acids to help determine each partici-pantrsquos level of fish consumption

Ideally at the end of the study participantsrsquo blood sample will show a decrease in mercury But the same levels of the healthy Omega 3 fatty acids said McCann

Irsquove grown up in a society where technol-ogy is always evolving So knowing how to use a computer cell phone iPod or other electronic device has always seemed to come naturally Yet it can stump those de-cades older than me

While my dad can tear an airplane apart and put it back together figuring out how to make a cell phone call seems to be too dif-ficult for him let alone send a text message And even though my mom taught herself how to text she goes overboard and tries to shorten every word possible making it a game to try and decipher what shersquos really saying

Now being an English Major Irsquom pretty particular about my grammar but even I slip into a different lingo sometimes when texting If yoursquore going to keep up with young folks who can text an entire para-graph quicker than you can say ldquolaughing out loudrdquo then yoursquore going to have to know some basic texting terms

First off while most people know ldquololrdquo or ldquolaughing out loudrdquo there are many other variations of laughing You could be ldquoroflrdquo or ldquorolling on the floor laughingrdquo Or you could be ldquolmaordquo aka ldquolaughing my a off rdquo You could even combine the two for an epic ldquoroflmaordquo Another route would be to simply use haha or hehe Depending on how many harsquos or hersquos are used will determine the funny factor for the recipient so choose appropriately

Many words can be shortened to a single letter saving you precious texting time and letting you text much more rapidly Such words include ldquoyrdquo instead of ldquowhyrdquo ldquorrdquo vs ldquoarerdquo ldquocrdquo for ldquoseeseardquo ldquourdquo in place of ldquoyourdquo and many more Numbers can also be in-corporated into words like ldquob4rdquo instead of ldquobeforerdquo or ldquo2rdquo for ldquoto too and twordquo

Sometimes you want your texting conver-sation to be kept a secret Itrsquos those types of conversations that you become paranoid of people peaking over your shoulder If thatrsquos the case and someone is hovering just type ldquoposrdquo and your recipient should know that there is a parentperson over your shoulder and the conversation isnrsquot safe anymore

As for capitalizations commas and peri-ods when texting who cares Lowercase letters are the norm for texting and great punctuation isnrsquot expected although if used itrsquos always an improvement Just donrsquot use all uppercase letters or it is considered RUDE SHOUTING and nobody likes get-ting yelled at

Nowadays many people have smart phones allowing them to send emoticons for almost anything such as faces hearts hand gestures and more However the ba-sic self-typed happy and sad faces are still commonly used Send ) or ( to depict your emotions Turn your sad face into rsquo( to show your tears or turn that frown upside down with a cheesy wide smile such as D or P instead You can send a ) to wink at your texting buddy Feel like your faces are missing a nose Insert a hyphen to change your faces into -) or -D etc If you do have a smart phone then sending emoticons in

place of words is always an option Try play-ing different guessing games such as send-ing emoticons to represent song lyrics to stimulate hours of entertainment laughter and fun

The world of cell phones and texting is vir-tually unlimited Phrases faces games and abbreviations are always changing and ex-panding While it may seem impossible to

keep up follow these simple texting ldquorulesrdquo and you can do no wrong But beware you might just outdo the stereotypical teenager and become a texting fiend Irsquove already cre-ated monsters out of my parents although I suppose I should feel pretty lucky to have such ldquohip and cool parentsrdquo according to them So until next month ttyl and ttfn talk to you later and ta ta for now

omg Oh My Gosh o rly Oh Really omw On My Way hmu Hit Me Up tbh To Be Honest hbu How About You n2m Not Too Much jlmk Just Let Me Know wyw Whatever You Want brb Be Right Back nvm Nevermind np No Problem wth What the Heck jk Just Kidding idk or idc I donrsquot know or I donrsquot care

rial about fish consumption over the next few years as the MDH works to get women consuming fish with lower mercury levels

ldquoThere are lots of fish that women can eatrdquo she said McCann recommends women eat smaller fish and fish that are

lower on the food chain like pan fish and crappies Lake her-ring whitefish salmon and perch are also good low-mercury fish choices

To date the Minnesota Department of Health has only done mercury level studies in the Lake Superior basin so itrsquos un-known whether Cook Countyrsquos mercury levels are unusually high compared to the rest of the state said McCann April is Sexual Assault

18 NORTH SHORE HWY 61 APRIL 2013

By Joan Farnam

More than 35000 pounds of recycled materi-als are shipped out of the Cook County Recy-cling Center every week Last year alone 1029 tons or 21 million pounds of solid waste was collected there according to a report that was released last month

Thatrsquos a lot of recycled materials but is only one quarter of the solid waste Cook County generates every year

The recyclable materials are hauled to Har-telrsquosDBJ Disposal Companies in Proctor where they eventually end up in factories pa-per mills steel mills and other firms in Min-nesota across the country and the world to be reused or repurposed

The good news is that all that glass corrugat-ed cardboard newspaper magazines mixed paper steel cans aluminum mixed plastic and lead acid batteries are removed from the countyrsquos solid waste stream And the Recycling Center makes some money out of it

In all the recycling program brought in $48000 in 2012

More than half that revenue came from the Budget Shop ($27000) while aluminum cans accounted for another $18000 said Jeff Sylves-ter operatormanager of the Recycling Center

ldquoItrsquos nice to see a fiscal returnrdquo he said as he gave a tour of the facility recently

The price for recycled materials fluctuates with the stock market he said ldquoLike any com-modity it goes up and down When the econ-omy tanked in lsquo08 it wasnrsquot worth much The markets are improvingrdquo

Sylvester said the only thing thatrsquos not mak-ing much money is glass and used unwear-able clothing The brokerage fee that Hartelrsquos charges for handling glass ($35 a ton) pretty much cancels out what they can get for it he said and therersquos no market at all right now for used clothing

ldquoWe dumpster itrdquo he said ldquoBefore the reces-sion it went to the auto industry but we lost those markets Therersquos less need for it and wersquove not been able to find good viable buyersrdquo

The Recycling Center is looking forward to making more money this year It just started

working with Hartelrsquos in December and it has been profitable he said

When the Recycling Center was first started in 1988 the goal was to substantially reduce the solid waste that was being trucked to land-fills Businesses were encouraged to recycle as were homeowners and the program has met some of its goals

ldquoOur goal was to hit a 35 percent rate for homeownersrdquo he said and that was met last year

But more could be done he added ldquoEvery business recyclesrdquo he said ldquoThey pay by vol-ume so it behooves them to reducerdquo

Homeowners on the other hand can recycle for free but many just donrsquot bother

The figures reflect this In all Cook County generated 4900 tons of solid waste in 2012 and 3636 tons of that ended up in landfills

Curbside pickup of domestic recyclables just isnrsquot feasible he said ldquoThe county canrsquot afford itrdquo

Insteadthe program has set up five rural col-lection points to make recycling easier for both households and businesses

Three of the five rural stations are specifically for businesses to use Collection stations up the Sawbill Trail in Tofte near the old airport and the one in Grand Portage are open for house-hold use as well The Grand Portage site also handles business waste including cardboard he said

ldquoGrand Portage is also paying to pull the trailer They bring it in to usrdquo he said ldquoTheyrsquore good stewards of what theyrsquore doing Their green trailer is always impeccably cared for seldom is anything in the wrong placerdquo

Quality recyclables have to be properly sorted and this requires a lot of hand labor Sylvester said which is the primary reason why the re-cycling center is not open to the public all day every day

The employees need time to sort and bale whatrsquos coming in every day he said The cen-ter has four full-time employees and one has to staff the Budget Shop for half a day so ev-erybody is scrambling to get things ready for shipment in the mornings he said

Typically they will fill a 53-foot tractor-trailer

with material every weekOne of the most time-consuming to pro-

cess and ironically one of the most prof-itable recyclables is mixed paper he said One thing homeowners are encouraged to do is recycle their junk mail and good quality paper because it brings a good price and shouldnrsquot be taking up room in a landfill

Last year 938 tons of mixed paper was generated in the county and only 37 per-cent of that was recycled Sylvester recom-mends that personal documents be shred-ded but all other mixed paper is welcome

Because the recycling program is focused on reducing all solid waste as well as being good stewards of the environment it also has organized hazardous waste and elec-tronic waste collections twice a year takes used oil and oil filters as well as lead batter-ies and purchases aluminum cans at $20 a pound from 1-230 pm each day It also takes yard waste

It does not accept furniture appliances or mattresses These can be disposed of for a fee at Petersonrsquos Disposal

The Recycling Center is open from 11 am to 4 pm Monday through Wednesday and on Friday 11 am to 6 pm Thursday and 9 am to 1 pm Saturday

Sylvester said that his personal goal is to increase homeowner participation in the re-

cycling program to 50 percent Recycling is easy he said ldquoItrsquos free itrsquos the right thing to do and itrsquos environmentally responsible We hope people will start recycling morerdquo

Cook County recycles tons of stuff

The Cook County Recycling Center trucks about 35000 pounds of recyclables every week to its broker in Proctor Manageroperator Jeff Sylvester is in one of the semi-trailers thatrsquos almost ready to go Photos by Joan Farnam

Preparing for Broadband

By Jim Boyd

The words ldquoteleworkrdquo and ldquotelecommuterdquo donrsquot trip lightly off the tongue Mention them and you likely will get a vacant look in response Thatrsquos because they donrsquot tell you what someone does just how they do it by remote computer connection

And yet the two words may together capture Cook Countyrsquos greatest hope for sustainable low-impact economic development especially de-velopment that makes it possible for more young families to put down roots here

Linda Luebchow knows all about telework Itrsquos what she does every day from the small office she rents at Cook County Higher Educationrsquos North Shore Campus Luebchow works for the immunization registry at the Minnesota Department of Health

When Luebchowrsquos husband retired from his teaching position several years ago the couple moved permanently to their home near Paradise Beach east of Grand Marais

ldquoIf it hadnrsquot been for this (teleworking arrangement)rdquo Luebchow says ldquoI would have had to retire too And I didnrsquot want to do thatrdquo

Luebchow is an ardent advocate for the benefits telework promises Cook County especially once Arrowhead Electricrsquos fiber-optic broad-band network is complete Then everyone on the countyrsquos electrical grid will have the ability to work via computer from home Until then most telework is limited to Grand Marais and a few CenturyLink DSL nodes Thatrsquos why Luebchow rents space from Higher Ed

Itrsquos Already HereIn 2010 there were 140 residents of Cook County who worked for em-

ployers in Duluth the Twin Cities Grand Rapids and other cities ac-cording to the US Census Many perhaps most of them telecommute ndash connecting with their employers via computer connections

ldquoTelecommutingrdquo comes in many flavors At one end of the spectrum it can involve employees working on their own and connecting occa-sionally via email or Skype At the other end it involves someone mak-ing a daily connection between their computer and their company net-work located elsewhere

The latter workers tend to connect via something called a ldquovirtual pri-vate networkrdquo or VPN With a VPN connection itrsquos as if remote work-ers were actually in the company office

VPN connections and dial-up or satellite Internet get along about as well as a Model A and a trip to the moon They donrsquot

That said some telecommuters are doing amazing things from Cook County already designing software writing technical manuals editing books selling real estate managing nonprofits working as chemists and physicistsand project managers

A recent informal survey of county telecommuters also elicited a num-ber of comments from people who a) live in the Twin Cities now tele-commute to jobs elsewhere in the Twin Cities and are eager to move that work to Cook County or b) work elsewhere but plan to begin telecom-

muting and move to Cook County once Arrowhead inaugurates broad-band service

From this anecdotal information it seems clear that Cook County will get a substantial economic and population boost from the advent of Ar-rowhead broadband This will happen without much effort beyond Ar-rowhead lighting up its fiber-optic network A much more determined effort will be required to create telework opportunities for young people just starting out especially those who have no skills that lend them-selves to telework

Making It HappenJulie May manages work-at-home programs for UnitedHealthCare

in the Twin Cities Shersquos responsible for 10000 teleworkers including 3000 in Minnesota ndash most of whom do not live in the Twin Cities

Creating a strong community telework environment May says should involve local government people responsible for local economic devel-opment educational institutions and broadband providers She lists three primary responsibilities

Marketing yourself as a teleworker-friendly community to those who would like to live on the North Shore and who may not know telework is possible from here

Making connections with area community colleges to ensure training is available for local residents in career areas easily adaptable to tele-work In the absence of a local community college this chore falls to Cook County Higher Education CCHE executive director Paula Sundet Wolf is aware of and exploring this need

Developing and marketing a broadband telework package to potential telework employers This May says involves the local telcoms (Cen-turyLink and Arrowhead Electric) creating service packages that best meet telework requirements (She recommends 15 Mbps download and 2 Mbps upload Asymmetrical service is best she says) setting an attrac-tive price for the service and developing the resources to provide same-day service responses when problems inevitably arise Before employers seriously will consider hiring teleworkers May says they must be as-sured of stable connections stable pricing and quick service-response times

Some time ago UnitedHealthCare created a customer-service call cen-ter in a remote Texas community where job opportunities were minimal They only pay $8-$15 per hour But the work is full-time year-round and provides vacation health-care and other benefits From the perspective of Cook County workers surviving on part-time seasonal jobs paying the same wage those UnitedHealthCare jobs would look pretty good

A strange sad irony of this legislative session is that efforts to save wolves from hunting may lead to the deaths of some dogs by trapping Efforts to revisit the regulations regarding the use of body-grip traps which critics say are responsible for killing several dogs every year in Minnesota have been stymied by legislators who say they will not introduce any trapping bills in 2013 for fear that anti-wolf hunting measures may be attached to them

The issue of body-grip traps and dogs is not new For years dog owners have complained often after losing a pet about the le-thal consequences of a dog being inadvertently caught in a body-grip trap which is designed to kill quickly The dog owner may have even been there when the incident occurred but lacked the ability to remove the trap before it killed the dog The Minne-sota DNR has always acknowledged such incidents occur but essentially brushes them off as insignificant on a statewide basis

But dog deaths suddenly became significant a couple of years ago when a handful of dog owners most of whom had lost dogs in body-grip traps decided to do something about the issue They formed a group Dog Lovers 4 Safe Trapping to push for reform of the rules for using body-grip traps Most of the mem-bers are the owners of hunting dogs They emphasize that while they are seeking changes to trapping rules they are not opposed to trapping

ldquoOur group tries very hard to distance ourselves from anti trap-ping and hunting organizationsrdquo says Dog Lovers 4 Safe Trap-ping MN board member and hunter Brett Harberts of Emily

Unlike foothold traps which are designed to capture and hold an animal by its foot body-grips are intended to kill an animal quickly by closing on its neck They are also commonly called ldquoConibearrdquo traps after inventor Frank Conibear While they come in sizes small enough for muskrats to large enough for beavers the mid-sized traps sizes 160 and 220 are of greatest concern to dog owners In Minnesota both traps may be set on the ground either in a baited set or as unbaited set along a trail The beaver-sized 330 body-grip must be at least half-submerged in water which makes it much less likely to inadvertently cap-ture dogs or other unintended animals

Last year the Legislature tweaked body-grip rules so that 160s and 220s used in baited sets must be recessed seven inches from the top of an enclosure or placed at least three feet off the ground Unbaited body-grips must be at least 20 feet from any attractant These statewide rules are significantly less restrictive than rules put in place several years ago to protect the federally threatened Canada lynx in northeastern Minnesota According to the lynx rules any 160 or 220 placed on the ground must be set in a cubby with the trap a minimum of seven inches from the opening The opening may not exceed 50 square inches which is a 7- by 7-inch square Unbaited trail sets are not allowed

Here in the northeast Irsquove heard few if any reports of dogs

being killed in body-grips since the lynx rules were adopted The same cannot be said of the statewide rule The Dog Lovers 4 Safe Trapping MN website notes the organization documented 13 dogs killed between Oct 20 and Dec 31 2012 the first trap-ping season for which the new statewide rules were in effect An additional 7 dogs were killed between Jan 1 and Mar 15 2012 before the rules were enacted This means a total of 20 dogs were killed by traps in Minnesota during 2012

Harberts says in contrast Wisconsin has reported very few dog deaths due to body-grips since changing its trapping rules in the

This outstanding culinary event one of two exciting wine dinners held in the county each spring will highlight the harvest at this time of year said Rob Wells executive chef at Lutsen Resort

Wells and guest chef Mike DeCamp chef de cuisine at La Belle Vie in Minneapolis are working together to create a truly won-derful food experi-ence with the fresh-est ingredients of the season

Think lamb and leeks newly harvested greens wild mush-rooms and spring onions and then sit back and let the chefs decide how to create with them

Thatrsquos about how this food and wine week-end has evolved Wells said

ldquoWe came up with the basic idea ndash spring harvestrdquo he said ldquoThings are just coming into season right now and that focuses us on what we want to dordquo

The two chefs decided they would work to-gether to create tasty hors drsquooeuvres for the re-ception and wine tasting on Friday night and then alternate courses for the formal 6-course dinner with wine pairings on Saturday night

DeCamp who is an award-winning chef and a finalist in the James Beard national chef con-test this year for Best Chef-Midwest will do the first third and fifth courses Wells will do the second fourth and dessert

ldquoFor the second course ndash salads and soups

ndash leeks popped into my mind immediatelyrdquo Wells said ldquoTheyrsquore coming out of the ground right now ndash so leek souprdquo

Early vegetables like pea shoots and wild mushrooms were a natural for his fourth course and dessert includes mint a reliable early spring taste

The other half of dinner is the wine pairings that will complement and expand the food

experienceAndrew Beavers

wine and beverage manager at Lutsen Resort was given the menu and began re-searching what wines would be spectacular with these foods

Beavers said he de-cided to go with Or-egon wines for the six-course meal

ldquoI had a taste of the Oregon wine portfo-lio and it was wonder-fulrdquo he said ldquoItrsquos such a great region for this time of year The food is going to be spring and the dishes will be light I think these wines will play well with thatrdquo

Beavers said the Friday evening hors-

drsquooeuvres event will feature ldquoreally nice high-end hors drsquooeuvres and wersquoll taste from four to six wines Itrsquos more of a causal open feelrdquo

The Saturday night event is formalldquoI give a brief description of each wine before

the pairingrdquo he said ldquoThen the chef will come out and speak about what they did with a par-ticular course Itrsquos really funrdquo

The wines he chooses are not typically avail-able at a neighborhood beer store but larger wine shops will carry them and they can be found online he said

ldquoWhat I really focus on when Irsquom trying to put

late 1990s At the time Wisconsin was among several states that modified trapping rules fol-lowing the national development of Best Man-agement Practices (BMPs) for trapping Min-nesota chose not to incorporate BMPs into its trapping regulations In fact aside the statersquos trapping regulations have been largely un-changed for decades

The same could be said of the mindset of the statersquos wildlife bureaucracy and state trapping leaders both of whom have been reluctant to take the concerns of dog owners seriously per-haps from a fear that by doing so they would be taking a step down a slippery slope toward and eventual all-out trapping ban

The problem is Minnesota has changed In 1980 Minnesotarsquos population was just over 4 million In 2012 the population was estimated at nearly 54 million During that time frame wersquove seen a tremendous outmigration to rural areas especially in the lakes region by people seeking a better quality of life Very often that quality of life involves spending more time outdoors Trappers are no longer alone They are now joined by bird hunters using pointers and retrievers hounds used to pursue raccoons coyotes rabbits and other critters No less im-portant are the many rural dwellers who take their dogs along when hiking skiing and winter camping Itrsquos fair to say none of these folks wants their dog to be at risk of being killed in a trap

In recent years the Minnesota Trappers Association has run an advertisement in the state hunting regulations booklet showing how to remove an animal from a body-grip trap From my own experience us-ing body-grips I donrsquot believe the Average Joe or Jill would have the know-how or physical strength to quickly remove a

body-grip from their petHarberts says Dog Lovers 4 Safe Trapping

MN may have been stymied by the 2013 Leg-islature but they arenrsquot going away until dogs are safe from body-grip traps It wonrsquot be easy to change existing rules because trappers and wildlife bureaucrats are reluctant to give up body-grip trapping techniques that are effec-tive and convenient for trappers Harberts says his group and the Minnesota Trail Hound As-sociation continue to have cordial discussions with trappers on the issue but have made little progress toward resolution Until they do so more folks are likely to lose their hunting dogs and family pets

Killing 20 dogs in a year is unacceptable especially when nearly all of those losses are preventable Itrsquos time for the DNR to act like professional wildlife managers and address the issue The agencyrsquos goal should be to have zero dogs killed in body-grips The DNR needs to take the appropriate steps to achieve that goal through a combination of conflict resolution and new trapping rules While making chang-es to protect dogs may inconvenience trappers there doesnrsquot appear to be any evidence from Wisconsin or other states that doing so will have any effect on the fur harvest Itrsquos past time for Minnesota to make the changes necessary to protect dogs from body-grip traps

By Ada Igoe

The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) has partnered with Sawtooth Mountain Clinic and the Grand Portage Band of Lake Superior Chippewa to conduct a study of 500 Cook County women of childbearing age to help determine why Cook County newborns exhibit high levels of mercury The study is funded by a grant from the Environmental Protection Agency

This new study comes on the heels of a 2007-2011 study of mercury levels in 1465 newborns in the Lake Superior Basin in which MDH participated along with the Wisconsin and Michi-gan departments of health That study found that 10 percent of newborns in the Minnesota region of the study have mercury levels above the EPArsquos safe level with a particularly high concen-tration of high mercury levels in Cook County newborns

Because developing nervous systems are particularly vulner-able to the harmful effects of mercury the MDH wanted to work with Cook County clinics to see if they could reduce newborn mercury levels said Pat McCann of the MDH who is the lead on the Cook County study Fetal exposure to methylmercury (the type of mercury found in fish) can lead to issues with cognition memory attention language and fine motor and visual spatial skills in children

ldquoOne good way to help with mercury levels is to work with health care providers since thatrsquos where women get most of their health informationrdquo said McCann

This new study will allow the MDH to do just that The exact role of Sawtooth Mountain Clinic and the Grand Portage band has not yet been exactly determined However McCann said the study will work to determine why Cook County newborns have high levels of mercury and work to better educate expectant mothers about which types of fish are safe to eat

McCann said they plan to begin enrolling Cook County women in the study in January 2014 and will continue to enroll women for about a year Women who qualify for the study will be asked to participate when they go in for a regularly scheduled appointment

At this point in the studyrsquos development McCann said she believes participants will be asked to complete a questionnaire about their fish-eating habits and also submit a blood sample The blood sample will be used to test participantsrsquo levels of mer-cury and Omega 3 fatty acids to help determine each partici-pantrsquos level of fish consumption

Ideally at the end of the study participantsrsquo blood sample will show a decrease in mercury But the same levels of the healthy Omega 3 fatty acids said McCann

ldquoWe want women to keep eating fishrdquo McCann said Cook County residents will likely see more educational mate-

Irsquove grown up in a society where technol-ogy is always evolving So knowing how to use a computer cell phone iPod or other electronic device has always seemed to come naturally Yet it can stump those de-cades older than me

While my dad can tear an airplane apart and put it back together figuring out how to make a cell phone call seems to be too dif-ficult for him let alone send a text message And even though my mom taught herself how to text she goes overboard and tries to shorten every word possible making it a game to try and decipher what shersquos really saying

Now being an English Major Irsquom pretty particular about my grammar but even I slip into a different lingo sometimes when texting If yoursquore going to keep up with young folks who can text an entire para-graph quicker than you can say ldquolaughing out loudrdquo then yoursquore going to have to know some basic texting terms

First off while most people know ldquololrdquo or ldquolaughing out loudrdquo there are many other variations of laughing You could be ldquoroflrdquo or ldquorolling on the floor laughingrdquo Or you could be ldquolmaordquo aka ldquolaughing my a off rdquo You could even combine the two for an epic ldquoroflmaordquo Another route would be to simply use haha or hehe Depending on how many harsquos or hersquos are used will determine the funny factor for the recipient so choose appropriately

Many words can be shortened to a single letter saving you precious texting time and letting you text much more rapidly Such words include ldquoyrdquo instead of ldquowhyrdquo ldquorrdquo vs ldquoarerdquo ldquocrdquo for ldquoseeseardquo ldquourdquo in place of ldquoyourdquo and many more Numbers can also be in-corporated into words like ldquob4rdquo instead of ldquobeforerdquo or ldquo2rdquo for ldquoto too and twordquo

Sometimes you want your texting conver-sation to be kept a secret Itrsquos those types of conversations that you become paranoid of people peaking over your shoulder If thatrsquos the case and someone is hovering just type ldquoposrdquo and your recipient should know that there is a parentperson over your shoulder and the conversation isnrsquot safe anymore

As for capitalizations commas and peri-ods when texting who cares Lowercase letters are the norm for texting and great punctuation isnrsquot expected although if used itrsquos always an improvement Just donrsquot use all uppercase letters or it is considered RUDE SHOUTING and nobody likes get-ting yelled at

Nowadays many people have smart phones allowing them to send emoticons for almost anything such as faces hearts hand gestures and more However the ba-sic self-typed happy and sad faces are still commonly used Send ) or ( to depict your emotions Turn your sad face into rsquo( to show your tears or turn that frown upside down with a cheesy wide smile such as D or P instead You can send a ) to wink at your texting buddy Feel like your faces are missing a nose Insert a hyphen to change your faces into -) or -D etc If you do have a smart phone then sending emoticons in

place of words is always an option Try play-ing different guessing games such as send-ing emoticons to represent song lyrics to stimulate hours of entertainment laughter and fun

The world of cell phones and texting is vir-tually unlimited Phrases faces games and abbreviations are always changing and ex-panding While it may seem impossible to

keep up follow these simple texting ldquorulesrdquo and you can do no wrong But beware you might just outdo the stereotypical teenager and become a texting fiend Irsquove already cre-ated monsters out of my parents although I suppose I should feel pretty lucky to have such ldquohip and cool parentsrdquo according to them So until next month ttyl and ttfn talk to you later and ta ta for now

omg Oh My Gosh o rly Oh Really omw On My Way hmu Hit Me Up tbh To Be Honest hbu How About You n2m Not Too Much jlmk Just Let Me Know wyw Whatever You Want brb Be Right Back nvm Nevermind np No Problem wth What the Heck jk Just Kidding idk or idc I donrsquot know or I donrsquot care

ldquoWe want women to keep eating fishrdquo McCann said Cook County residents will likely see more educational mate-

rial about fish consumption over the next few years as the MDH works to get women consuming fish with lower mercury levels

ldquoThere are lots of fish that women can eatrdquo she said McCann recommends women eat smaller fish and fish that are

lower on the food chain like pan fish and crappies Lake her-ring whitefish salmon and perch are also good low-mercury fish choices

To date the Minnesota Department of Health has only done mercury level studies in the Lake Superior basin so itrsquos un-known whether Cook Countyrsquos mercury levels are unusually high compared to the rest of the state said McCann April is Sexual Assault

18 NORTH SHORE HWY 61 APRIL 2013

By Joan Farnam

More than 35000 pounds of recycled materi-als are shipped out of the Cook County Recy-cling Center every week Last year alone 1029 tons or 21 million pounds of solid waste was collected there according to a report that was released last month

Thatrsquos a lot of recycled materials but is only one quarter of the solid waste Cook County generates every year

The recyclable materials are hauled to Har-telrsquosDBJ Disposal Companies in Proctor where they eventually end up in factories pa-per mills steel mills and other firms in Min-nesota across the country and the world to be reused or repurposed

The good news is that all that glass corrugat-ed cardboard newspaper magazines mixed paper steel cans aluminum mixed plastic and lead acid batteries are removed from the countyrsquos solid waste stream And the Recycling Center makes some money out of it

In all the recycling program brought in $48000 in 2012

More than half that revenue came from the Budget Shop ($27000) while aluminum cans accounted for another $18000 said Jeff Sylves-ter operatormanager of the Recycling Center

ldquoItrsquos nice to see a fiscal returnrdquo he said as he gave a tour of the facility recently

The price for recycled materials fluctuates with the stock market he said ldquoLike any com-modity it goes up and down When the econ-omy tanked in lsquo08 it wasnrsquot worth much The markets are improvingrdquo

Sylvester said the only thing thatrsquos not mak-ing much money is glass and used unwear-able clothing The brokerage fee that Hartelrsquos charges for handling glass ($35 a ton) pretty much cancels out what they can get for it he said and therersquos no market at all right now for used clothing

ldquoWe dumpster itrdquo he said ldquoBefore the reces-sion it went to the auto industry but we lost those markets Therersquos less need for it and wersquove not been able to find good viable buyersrdquo

The Recycling Center is looking forward to making more money this year It just started

working with Hartelrsquos in December and it has been profitable he said

When the Recycling Center was first started in 1988 the goal was to substantially reduce the solid waste that was being trucked to land-fills Businesses were encouraged to recycle as were homeowners and the program has met some of its goals

ldquoOur goal was to hit a 35 percent rate for homeownersrdquo he said and that was met last year

But more could be done he added ldquoEvery business recyclesrdquo he said ldquoThey pay by vol-ume so it behooves them to reducerdquo

Homeowners on the other hand can recycle for free but many just donrsquot bother

The figures reflect this In all Cook County generated 4900 tons of solid waste in 2012 and 3636 tons of that ended up in landfills

Curbside pickup of domestic recyclables just isnrsquot feasible he said ldquoThe county canrsquot afford itrdquo

Insteadthe program has set up five rural col-lection points to make recycling easier for both households and businesses

Three of the five rural stations are specifically for businesses to use Collection stations up the Sawbill Trail in Tofte near the old airport and the one in Grand Portage are open for house-hold use as well The Grand Portage site also handles business waste including cardboard he said

ldquoGrand Portage is also paying to pull the trailer They bring it in to usrdquo he said ldquoTheyrsquore good stewards of what theyrsquore doing Their green trailer is always impeccably cared for seldom is anything in the wrong placerdquo

Quality recyclables have to be properly sorted and this requires a lot of hand labor Sylvester said which is the primary reason why the re-cycling center is not open to the public all day every day

The employees need time to sort and bale whatrsquos coming in every day he said The cen-ter has four full-time employees and one has to staff the Budget Shop for half a day so ev-erybody is scrambling to get things ready for shipment in the mornings he said

Typically they will fill a 53-foot tractor-trailer

with material every weekOne of the most time-consuming to pro-

cess and ironically one of the most prof-itable recyclables is mixed paper he said One thing homeowners are encouraged to do is recycle their junk mail and good quality paper because it brings a good price and shouldnrsquot be taking up room in a landfill

Last year 938 tons of mixed paper was generated in the county and only 37 per-cent of that was recycled Sylvester recom-mends that personal documents be shred-ded but all other mixed paper is welcome

Because the recycling program is focused on reducing all solid waste as well as being good stewards of the environment it also has organized hazardous waste and elec-tronic waste collections twice a year takes used oil and oil filters as well as lead batter-ies and purchases aluminum cans at $20 a pound from 1-230 pm each day It also takes yard waste

It does not accept furniture appliances or mattresses These can be disposed of for a fee at Petersonrsquos Disposal

The Recycling Center is open from 11 am to 4 pm Monday through Wednesday and on Friday 11 am to 6 pm Thursday and 9 am to 1 pm Saturday

Sylvester said that his personal goal is to increase homeowner participation in the re-

cycling program to 50 percent Recycling is easy he said ldquoItrsquos free itrsquos the right thing to do and itrsquos environmentally responsible We hope people will start recycling morerdquo

Cook County recycles tons of stuff

The Cook County Recycling Center trucks about 35000 pounds of recyclables every week to its broker in Proctor Manageroperator Jeff Sylvester is in one of the semi-trailers thatrsquos almost ready to go Photos by Joan Farnam

Preparing for Broadband

By Jim Boyd

The words ldquoteleworkrdquo and ldquotelecommuterdquo donrsquot trip lightly off the tongue Mention them and you likely will get a vacant look in response Thatrsquos because they donrsquot tell you what someone does just how they do it by remote computer connection

And yet the two words may together capture Cook Countyrsquos greatest hope for sustainable low-impact economic development especially de-velopment that makes it possible for more young families to put down roots here

Linda Luebchow knows all about telework Itrsquos what she does every day from the small office she rents at Cook County Higher Educationrsquos North Shore Campus Luebchow works for the immunization registry at the Minnesota Department of Health

When Luebchowrsquos husband retired from his teaching position several years ago the couple moved permanently to their home near Paradise Beach east of Grand Marais

ldquoIf it hadnrsquot been for this (teleworking arrangement)rdquo Luebchow says ldquoI would have had to retire too And I didnrsquot want to do thatrdquo

Luebchow is an ardent advocate for the benefits telework promises Cook County especially once Arrowhead Electricrsquos fiber-optic broad-band network is complete Then everyone on the countyrsquos electrical grid will have the ability to work via computer from home Until then most telework is limited to Grand Marais and a few CenturyLink DSL nodes Thatrsquos why Luebchow rents space from Higher Ed

Itrsquos Already HereIn 2010 there were 140 residents of Cook County who worked for em-

ployers in Duluth the Twin Cities Grand Rapids and other cities ac-cording to the US Census Many perhaps most of them telecommute ndash connecting with their employers via computer connections

ldquoTelecommutingrdquo comes in many flavors At one end of the spectrum it can involve employees working on their own and connecting occa-sionally via email or Skype At the other end it involves someone mak-ing a daily connection between their computer and their company net-work located elsewhere

The latter workers tend to connect via something called a ldquovirtual pri-vate networkrdquo or VPN With a VPN connection itrsquos as if remote work-ers were actually in the company office

VPN connections and dial-up or satellite Internet get along about as well as a Model A and a trip to the moon They donrsquot

That said some telecommuters are doing amazing things from Cook County already designing software writing technical manuals editing books selling real estate managing nonprofits working as chemists and physicistsand project managers

A recent informal survey of county telecommuters also elicited a num-ber of comments from people who a) live in the Twin Cities now tele-commute to jobs elsewhere in the Twin Cities and are eager to move that work to Cook County or b) work elsewhere but plan to begin telecom-

muting and move to Cook County once Arrowhead inaugurates broad-band service

From this anecdotal information it seems clear that Cook County will get a substantial economic and population boost from the advent of Ar-rowhead broadband This will happen without much effort beyond Ar-rowhead lighting up its fiber-optic network A much more determined effort will be required to create telework opportunities for young people just starting out especially those who have no skills that lend them-selves to telework

Making It HappenJulie May manages work-at-home programs for UnitedHealthCare

in the Twin Cities Shersquos responsible for 10000 teleworkers including 3000 in Minnesota ndash most of whom do not live in the Twin Cities

Creating a strong community telework environment May says should involve local government people responsible for local economic devel-opment educational institutions and broadband providers She lists three primary responsibilities

Marketing yourself as a teleworker-friendly community to those who would like to live on the North Shore and who may not know telework is possible from here

Making connections with area community colleges to ensure training is available for local residents in career areas easily adaptable to tele-work In the absence of a local community college this chore falls to Cook County Higher Education CCHE executive director Paula Sundet Wolf is aware of and exploring this need

Developing and marketing a broadband telework package to potential telework employers This May says involves the local telcoms (Cen-turyLink and Arrowhead Electric) creating service packages that best meet telework requirements (She recommends 15 Mbps download and 2 Mbps upload Asymmetrical service is best she says) setting an attrac-tive price for the service and developing the resources to provide same-day service responses when problems inevitably arise Before employers seriously will consider hiring teleworkers May says they must be as-sured of stable connections stable pricing and quick service-response times

Some time ago UnitedHealthCare created a customer-service call cen-ter in a remote Texas community where job opportunities were minimal They only pay $8-$15 per hour But the work is full-time year-round and provides vacation health-care and other benefits From the perspective of Cook County workers surviving on part-time seasonal jobs paying the same wage those UnitedHealthCare jobs would look pretty good

A strange sad irony of this legislative session is that efforts to save wolves from hunting may lead to the deaths of some dogs by trapping Efforts to revisit the regulations regarding the use of body-grip traps which critics say are responsible for killing several dogs every year in Minnesota have been stymied by legislators who say they will not introduce any trapping bills in 2013 for fear that anti-wolf hunting measures may be attached to them

The issue of body-grip traps and dogs is not new For years dog owners have complained often after losing a pet about the le-thal consequences of a dog being inadvertently caught in a body-grip trap which is designed to kill quickly The dog owner may have even been there when the incident occurred but lacked the ability to remove the trap before it killed the dog The Minne-sota DNR has always acknowledged such incidents occur but essentially brushes them off as insignificant on a statewide basis

But dog deaths suddenly became significant a couple of years ago when a handful of dog owners most of whom had lost dogs in body-grip traps decided to do something about the issue They formed a group Dog Lovers 4 Safe Trapping to push for reform of the rules for using body-grip traps Most of the mem-bers are the owners of hunting dogs They emphasize that while they are seeking changes to trapping rules they are not opposed to trapping

ldquoOur group tries very hard to distance ourselves from anti trap-ping and hunting organizationsrdquo says Dog Lovers 4 Safe Trap-ping MN board member and hunter Brett Harberts of Emily

Unlike foothold traps which are designed to capture and hold an animal by its foot body-grips are intended to kill an animal quickly by closing on its neck They are also commonly called ldquoConibearrdquo traps after inventor Frank Conibear While they come in sizes small enough for muskrats to large enough for beavers the mid-sized traps sizes 160 and 220 are of greatest concern to dog owners In Minnesota both traps may be set on the ground either in a baited set or as unbaited set along a trail The beaver-sized 330 body-grip must be at least half-submerged in water which makes it much less likely to inadvertently cap-ture dogs or other unintended animals

Last year the Legislature tweaked body-grip rules so that 160s and 220s used in baited sets must be recessed seven inches from the top of an enclosure or placed at least three feet off the ground Unbaited body-grips must be at least 20 feet from any attractant These statewide rules are significantly less restrictive than rules put in place several years ago to protect the federally threatened Canada lynx in northeastern Minnesota According to the lynx rules any 160 or 220 placed on the ground must be set in a cubby with the trap a minimum of seven inches from the opening The opening may not exceed 50 square inches which is a 7- by 7-inch square Unbaited trail sets are not allowed

Here in the northeast Irsquove heard few if any reports of dogs

being killed in body-grips since the lynx rules were adopted The same cannot be said of the statewide rule The Dog Lovers 4 Safe Trapping MN website notes the organization documented 13 dogs killed between Oct 20 and Dec 31 2012 the first trap-ping season for which the new statewide rules were in effect An additional 7 dogs were killed between Jan 1 and Mar 15 2012 before the rules were enacted This means a total of 20 dogs were killed by traps in Minnesota during 2012

Harberts says in contrast Wisconsin has reported very few dog deaths due to body-grips since changing its trapping rules in the

Spring forward with Lutsen Resortrsquos ldquoSpring Food amp Wine Weekendrdquo April 5-6 and savor the early harvest

This outstanding culinary event one of two exciting wine dinners held in the county each spring will highlight the harvest at this time of year said Rob Wells executive chef at Lutsen Resort

Wells and guest chef Mike DeCamp chef de cuisine at La Belle Vie in Minneapolis are working together to create a truly won-derful food experi-ence with the fresh-est ingredients of the season

Think lamb and leeks newly harvested greens wild mush-rooms and spring onions and then sit back and let the chefs decide how to create with them

Thatrsquos about how this food and wine week-end has evolved Wells said

ldquoWe came up with the basic idea ndash spring harvestrdquo he said ldquoThings are just coming into season right now and that focuses us on what we want to dordquo

The two chefs decided they would work to-gether to create tasty hors drsquooeuvres for the re-ception and wine tasting on Friday night and then alternate courses for the formal 6-course dinner with wine pairings on Saturday night

DeCamp who is an award-winning chef and a finalist in the James Beard national chef con-test this year for Best Chef-Midwest will do the first third and fifth courses Wells will do the second fourth and dessert

ldquoFor the second course ndash salads and soups

ndash leeks popped into my mind immediatelyrdquo Wells said ldquoTheyrsquore coming out of the ground right now ndash so leek souprdquo

Early vegetables like pea shoots and wild mushrooms were a natural for his fourth course and dessert includes mint a reliable early spring taste

The other half of dinner is the wine pairings that will complement and expand the food

experienceAndrew Beavers

wine and beverage manager at Lutsen Resort was given the menu and began re-searching what wines would be spectacular with these foods

Beavers said he de-cided to go with Or-egon wines for the six-course meal

ldquoI had a taste of the Oregon wine portfo-lio and it was wonder-fulrdquo he said ldquoItrsquos such a great region for this time of year The food is going to be spring and the dishes will be light I think these wines will play well with thatrdquo

Beavers said the Friday evening hors-

drsquooeuvres event will feature ldquoreally nice high-end hors drsquooeuvres and wersquoll taste from four to six wines Itrsquos more of a causal open feelrdquo

The Saturday night event is formalldquoI give a brief description of each wine before

the pairingrdquo he said ldquoThen the chef will come out and speak about what they did with a par-ticular course Itrsquos really funrdquo

The wines he chooses are not typically avail-able at a neighborhood beer store but larger wine shops will carry them and they can be found online he said

ldquoWhat I really focus on when Irsquom trying to put

this together is getting wines that people donrsquot have in their house We want it to be special ndash evocative of a wine tasting very experientialrdquo

Guests are welcome to stay at the resort for the weekend so they donrsquot have to drive Wells said

ldquoWe encourage people to stay We do shuttles for people And we generally do these dinners on nights when we are slower so there are plen-ty of rooms availablerdquo

People come year after year for the event he said

ldquoThey come to Lutsen and have a really nice wine dinner and make a vacation out of itrdquo

late 1990s At the time Wisconsin was among several states that modified trapping rules fol-lowing the national development of Best Man-agement Practices (BMPs) for trapping Min-nesota chose not to incorporate BMPs into its trapping regulations In fact aside the statersquos trapping regulations have been largely un-changed for decades

The same could be said of the mindset of the statersquos wildlife bureaucracy and state trapping leaders both of whom have been reluctant to take the concerns of dog owners seriously per-haps from a fear that by doing so they would be taking a step down a slippery slope toward and eventual all-out trapping ban

The problem is Minnesota has changed In 1980 Minnesotarsquos population was just over 4 million In 2012 the population was estimated at nearly 54 million During that time frame wersquove seen a tremendous outmigration to rural areas especially in the lakes region by people seeking a better quality of life Very often that quality of life involves spending more time outdoors Trappers are no longer alone They are now joined by bird hunters using pointers and retrievers hounds used to pursue raccoons coyotes rabbits and other critters No less im-portant are the many rural dwellers who take their dogs along when hiking skiing and winter camping Itrsquos fair to say none of these folks wants their dog to be at risk of being killed in a trap

In recent years the Minnesota Trappers Association has run an advertisement in the state hunting regulations booklet showing how to remove an animal from a body-grip trap From my own experience us-ing body-grips I donrsquot believe the Average Joe or Jill would have the know-how or physical strength to quickly remove a

body-grip from their petHarberts says Dog Lovers 4 Safe Trapping

MN may have been stymied by the 2013 Leg-islature but they arenrsquot going away until dogs are safe from body-grip traps It wonrsquot be easy to change existing rules because trappers and wildlife bureaucrats are reluctant to give up body-grip trapping techniques that are effec-tive and convenient for trappers Harberts says his group and the Minnesota Trail Hound As-sociation continue to have cordial discussions with trappers on the issue but have made little progress toward resolution Until they do so more folks are likely to lose their hunting dogs and family pets

Killing 20 dogs in a year is unacceptable especially when nearly all of those losses are preventable Itrsquos time for the DNR to act like professional wildlife managers and address the issue The agencyrsquos goal should be to have zero dogs killed in body-grips The DNR needs to take the appropriate steps to achieve that goal through a combination of conflict resolution and new trapping rules While making chang-es to protect dogs may inconvenience trappers there doesnrsquot appear to be any evidence from Wisconsin or other states that doing so will have any effect on the fur harvest Itrsquos past time for Minnesota to make the changes necessary to protect dogs from body-grip traps

By Ada Igoe

The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) has partnered with Sawtooth Mountain Clinic and the Grand Portage Band of Lake Superior Chippewa to conduct a study of 500 Cook County women of childbearing age to help determine why Cook County newborns exhibit high levels of mercury The study is funded by a grant from the Environmental Protection Agency

This new study comes on the heels of a 2007-2011 study of mercury levels in 1465 newborns in the Lake Superior Basin in which MDH participated along with the Wisconsin and Michi-gan departments of health That study found that 10 percent of newborns in the Minnesota region of the study have mercury levels above the EPArsquos safe level with a particularly high concen-tration of high mercury levels in Cook County newborns

Because developing nervous systems are particularly vulner-able to the harmful effects of mercury the MDH wanted to work with Cook County clinics to see if they could reduce newborn mercury levels said Pat McCann of the MDH who is the lead on the Cook County study Fetal exposure to methylmercury (the type of mercury found in fish) can lead to issues with cognition memory attention language and fine motor and visual spatial skills in children

ldquoOne good way to help with mercury levels is to work with health care providers since thatrsquos where women get most of their health informationrdquo said McCann

This new study will allow the MDH to do just that The exact role of Sawtooth Mountain Clinic and the Grand Portage band has not yet been exactly determined However McCann said the study will work to determine why Cook County newborns have high levels of mercury and work to better educate expectant mothers about which types of fish are safe to eat

McCann said they plan to begin enrolling Cook County women in the study in January 2014 and will continue to enroll women for about a year Women who qualify for the study will be asked to participate when they go in for a regularly scheduled appointment

At this point in the studyrsquos development McCann said she believes participants will be asked to complete a questionnaire about their fish-eating habits and also submit a blood sample The blood sample will be used to test participantsrsquo levels of mer-cury and Omega 3 fatty acids to help determine each partici-pantrsquos level of fish consumption

Ideally at the end of the study participantsrsquo blood sample will show a decrease in mercury But the same levels of the healthy Omega 3 fatty acids said McCann

ldquoWe want women to keep eating fishrdquo McCann said Cook County residents will likely see more educational mate-

learning 2 txt

4 dummiesBy Breana Roy

Irsquove grown up in a society where technol-ogy is always evolving So knowing how to use a computer cell phone iPod or other electronic device has always seemed to come naturally Yet it can stump those de-cades older than me

While my dad can tear an airplane apart and put it back together figuring out how to make a cell phone call seems to be too dif-ficult for him let alone send a text message And even though my mom taught herself how to text she goes overboard and tries to shorten every word possible making it a game to try and decipher what shersquos really saying

Now being an English Major Irsquom pretty particular about my grammar but even I slip into a different lingo sometimes when texting If yoursquore going to keep up with young folks who can text an entire para-graph quicker than you can say ldquolaughing out loudrdquo then yoursquore going to have to know some basic texting terms

First off while most people know ldquololrdquo or ldquolaughing out loudrdquo there are many other variations of laughing You could be ldquoroflrdquo or ldquorolling on the floor laughingrdquo Or you could be ldquolmaordquo aka ldquolaughing my a off rdquo You could even combine the two for an epic ldquoroflmaordquo Another route would be to simply use haha or hehe Depending on how many harsquos or hersquos are used will determine the funny factor for the recipient so choose appropriately

Many words can be shortened to a single letter saving you precious texting time and letting you text much more rapidly Such words include ldquoyrdquo instead of ldquowhyrdquo ldquorrdquo vs ldquoarerdquo ldquocrdquo for ldquoseeseardquo ldquourdquo in place of ldquoyourdquo and many more Numbers can also be in-corporated into words like ldquob4rdquo instead of ldquobeforerdquo or ldquo2rdquo for ldquoto too and twordquo

Sometimes you want your texting conver-sation to be kept a secret Itrsquos those types of conversations that you become paranoid of people peaking over your shoulder If thatrsquos the case and someone is hovering just type ldquoposrdquo and your recipient should know that there is a parentperson over your shoulder and the conversation isnrsquot safe anymore

As for capitalizations commas and peri-ods when texting who cares Lowercase letters are the norm for texting and great punctuation isnrsquot expected although if used itrsquos always an improvement Just donrsquot use all uppercase letters or it is considered RUDE SHOUTING and nobody likes get-ting yelled at

Nowadays many people have smart phones allowing them to send emoticons for almost anything such as faces hearts hand gestures and more However the ba-sic self-typed happy and sad faces are still commonly used Send ) or ( to depict your emotions Turn your sad face into rsquo( to show your tears or turn that frown upside down with a cheesy wide smile such as D or P instead You can send a ) to wink at your texting buddy Feel like your faces are missing a nose Insert a hyphen to change your faces into -) or -D etc If you do have a smart phone then sending emoticons in

place of words is always an option Try play-ing different guessing games such as send-ing emoticons to represent song lyrics to stimulate hours of entertainment laughter and fun

The world of cell phones and texting is vir-tually unlimited Phrases faces games and abbreviations are always changing and ex-panding While it may seem impossible to

keep up follow these simple texting ldquorulesrdquo and you can do no wrong But beware you might just outdo the stereotypical teenager and become a texting fiend Irsquove already cre-ated monsters out of my parents although I suppose I should feel pretty lucky to have such ldquohip and cool parentsrdquo according to them So until next month ttyl and ttfn talk to you later and ta ta for now

omg Oh My Gosh o rly Oh Really omw On My Way hmu Hit Me Up tbh To Be Honest hbu How About You n2m Not Too Much jlmk Just Let Me Know wyw Whatever You Want brb Be Right Back nvm Nevermind np No Problem wth What the Heck jk Just Kidding idk or idc I donrsquot know or I donrsquot care

ldquoWe want women to keep eating fishrdquo McCann said Cook County residents will likely see more educational mate-

rial about fish consumption over the next few years as the MDH works to get women consuming fish with lower mercury levels

ldquoThere are lots of fish that women can eatrdquo she said McCann recommends women eat smaller fish and fish that are

lower on the food chain like pan fish and crappies Lake her-ring whitefish salmon and perch are also good low-mercury fish choices

To date the Minnesota Department of Health has only done mercury level studies in the Lake Superior basin so itrsquos un-known whether Cook Countyrsquos mercury levels are unusually high compared to the rest of the state said McCann April is Sexual Assault

18 NORTH SHORE HWY 61 APRIL 2013

By Joan Farnam

More than 35000 pounds of recycled materi-als are shipped out of the Cook County Recy-cling Center every week Last year alone 1029 tons or 21 million pounds of solid waste was collected there according to a report that was released last month

Thatrsquos a lot of recycled materials but is only one quarter of the solid waste Cook County generates every year

The recyclable materials are hauled to Har-telrsquosDBJ Disposal Companies in Proctor where they eventually end up in factories pa-per mills steel mills and other firms in Min-nesota across the country and the world to be reused or repurposed

The good news is that all that glass corrugat-ed cardboard newspaper magazines mixed paper steel cans aluminum mixed plastic and lead acid batteries are removed from the countyrsquos solid waste stream And the Recycling Center makes some money out of it

In all the recycling program brought in $48000 in 2012

More than half that revenue came from the Budget Shop ($27000) while aluminum cans accounted for another $18000 said Jeff Sylves-ter operatormanager of the Recycling Center

ldquoItrsquos nice to see a fiscal returnrdquo he said as he gave a tour of the facility recently

The price for recycled materials fluctuates with the stock market he said ldquoLike any com-modity it goes up and down When the econ-omy tanked in lsquo08 it wasnrsquot worth much The markets are improvingrdquo

Sylvester said the only thing thatrsquos not mak-ing much money is glass and used unwear-able clothing The brokerage fee that Hartelrsquos charges for handling glass ($35 a ton) pretty much cancels out what they can get for it he said and therersquos no market at all right now for used clothing

ldquoWe dumpster itrdquo he said ldquoBefore the reces-sion it went to the auto industry but we lost those markets Therersquos less need for it and wersquove not been able to find good viable buyersrdquo

The Recycling Center is looking forward to making more money this year It just started

working with Hartelrsquos in December and it has been profitable he said

When the Recycling Center was first started in 1988 the goal was to substantially reduce the solid waste that was being trucked to land-fills Businesses were encouraged to recycle as were homeowners and the program has met some of its goals

ldquoOur goal was to hit a 35 percent rate for homeownersrdquo he said and that was met last year

But more could be done he added ldquoEvery business recyclesrdquo he said ldquoThey pay by vol-ume so it behooves them to reducerdquo

Homeowners on the other hand can recycle for free but many just donrsquot bother

The figures reflect this In all Cook County generated 4900 tons of solid waste in 2012 and 3636 tons of that ended up in landfills

Curbside pickup of domestic recyclables just isnrsquot feasible he said ldquoThe county canrsquot afford itrdquo

Insteadthe program has set up five rural col-lection points to make recycling easier for both households and businesses

Three of the five rural stations are specifically for businesses to use Collection stations up the Sawbill Trail in Tofte near the old airport and the one in Grand Portage are open for house-hold use as well The Grand Portage site also handles business waste including cardboard he said

ldquoGrand Portage is also paying to pull the trailer They bring it in to usrdquo he said ldquoTheyrsquore good stewards of what theyrsquore doing Their green trailer is always impeccably cared for seldom is anything in the wrong placerdquo

Quality recyclables have to be properly sorted and this requires a lot of hand labor Sylvester said which is the primary reason why the re-cycling center is not open to the public all day every day

The employees need time to sort and bale whatrsquos coming in every day he said The cen-ter has four full-time employees and one has to staff the Budget Shop for half a day so ev-erybody is scrambling to get things ready for shipment in the mornings he said

Typically they will fill a 53-foot tractor-trailer

with material every weekOne of the most time-consuming to pro-

cess and ironically one of the most prof-itable recyclables is mixed paper he said One thing homeowners are encouraged to do is recycle their junk mail and good quality paper because it brings a good price and shouldnrsquot be taking up room in a landfill

Last year 938 tons of mixed paper was generated in the county and only 37 per-cent of that was recycled Sylvester recom-mends that personal documents be shred-ded but all other mixed paper is welcome

Because the recycling program is focused on reducing all solid waste as well as being good stewards of the environment it also has organized hazardous waste and elec-tronic waste collections twice a year takes used oil and oil filters as well as lead batter-ies and purchases aluminum cans at $20 a pound from 1-230 pm each day It also takes yard waste

It does not accept furniture appliances or mattresses These can be disposed of for a fee at Petersonrsquos Disposal

The Recycling Center is open from 11 am to 4 pm Monday through Wednesday and on Friday 11 am to 6 pm Thursday and 9 am to 1 pm Saturday

Sylvester said that his personal goal is to increase homeowner participation in the re-

cycling program to 50 percent Recycling is easy he said ldquoItrsquos free itrsquos the right thing to do and itrsquos environmentally responsible We hope people will start recycling morerdquo

Cook County recycles tons of stuff

The Cook County Recycling Center trucks about 35000 pounds of recyclables every week to its broker in Proctor Manageroperator Jeff Sylvester is in one of the semi-trailers thatrsquos almost ready to go Photos by Joan Farnam

Jessica began dog sledding at age 10 after going on a ride with Mark and Mary Black She caught on quickly Jessica also gives credit to Frank and Sherri Moe for sparking her interest in dogsledding

She ran her first sled dog race at age 11 in Mush for a Cure an annual 25-mile race that raises money for breast cancer re-search Jessica has now raced in Mush for a Cure six times and always dedicates her run to someone who has been affected by breast cancer This year she decided to recognize Pam Taylor and she raised $2700 Along with the personal satisfac-tion she also won an award for being the first team off the lake and she only had six dogs

Jessica and her mother Julie Collman also volunteer for the Beargrease Sled Dog Race each year However Jessica seemed hesitant about racing the Beargrease herself

ldquoI donrsquot know Irsquom not sure if Irsquod want to ever do Beargrease Maybe someday I guess but I think Irsquoll stick with Mush for a Cure right nowrdquo she says ldquoI just love rais-ing the money and helping outrdquo

At age 10 Jessica also started taking log-rolling classes from Jenny Atkinson Jessica proved to be very talented and has made it to the Lumberjack World Championships in Hayward Wis Last year she placed first and was able to turn professional She has also competed in the Minnesota State Championships and came in fourth out of 12 To show off her skills she will be performing three shows a day at this yearrsquos Fishermanrsquos Picnic with Jenny Atkinson She will also be compet-ing in the chainsaw competition

When asked about any current events planned or goals she was working on she replied ldquoWell I am 16 so Irsquod like to get my own car to driverdquo A perfectly acceptable and humbling an-swer for someone with so many amazing achievements

Along with her success in dogsledding and logrolling Jessica is also a volleyball player and throws shot put for track and field She started shot put in ninth grade and by 10th grade she made it to Sections Shersquos hoping to make it farther this year

Preparing for Broadband

By Jim Boyd

The words ldquoteleworkrdquo and ldquotelecommuterdquo donrsquot trip lightly off the tongue Mention them and you likely will get a vacant look in response Thatrsquos because they donrsquot tell you what someone does just how they do it by remote computer connection

And yet the two words may together capture Cook Countyrsquos greatest hope for sustainable low-impact economic development especially de-velopment that makes it possible for more young families to put down roots here

Linda Luebchow knows all about telework Itrsquos what she does every day from the small office she rents at Cook County Higher Educationrsquos North Shore Campus Luebchow works for the immunization registry at the Minnesota Department of Health

When Luebchowrsquos husband retired from his teaching position several years ago the couple moved permanently to their home near Paradise Beach east of Grand Marais

ldquoIf it hadnrsquot been for this (teleworking arrangement)rdquo Luebchow says ldquoI would have had to retire too And I didnrsquot want to do thatrdquo

Luebchow is an ardent advocate for the benefits telework promises Cook County especially once Arrowhead Electricrsquos fiber-optic broad-band network is complete Then everyone on the countyrsquos electrical grid will have the ability to work via computer from home Until then most telework is limited to Grand Marais and a few CenturyLink DSL nodes Thatrsquos why Luebchow rents space from Higher Ed

Itrsquos Already HereIn 2010 there were 140 residents of Cook County who worked for em-

ployers in Duluth the Twin Cities Grand Rapids and other cities ac-cording to the US Census Many perhaps most of them telecommute ndash connecting with their employers via computer connections

ldquoTelecommutingrdquo comes in many flavors At one end of the spectrum it can involve employees working on their own and connecting occa-sionally via email or Skype At the other end it involves someone mak-ing a daily connection between their computer and their company net-work located elsewhere

The latter workers tend to connect via something called a ldquovirtual pri-vate networkrdquo or VPN With a VPN connection itrsquos as if remote work-ers were actually in the company office

VPN connections and dial-up or satellite Internet get along about as well as a Model A and a trip to the moon They donrsquot

That said some telecommuters are doing amazing things from Cook County already designing software writing technical manuals editing books selling real estate managing nonprofits working as chemists and physicistsand project managers

A recent informal survey of county telecommuters also elicited a num-ber of comments from people who a) live in the Twin Cities now tele-commute to jobs elsewhere in the Twin Cities and are eager to move that work to Cook County or b) work elsewhere but plan to begin telecom-

muting and move to Cook County once Arrowhead inaugurates broad-band service

From this anecdotal information it seems clear that Cook County will get a substantial economic and population boost from the advent of Ar-rowhead broadband This will happen without much effort beyond Ar-rowhead lighting up its fiber-optic network A much more determined effort will be required to create telework opportunities for young people just starting out especially those who have no skills that lend them-selves to telework

Making It HappenJulie May manages work-at-home programs for UnitedHealthCare

in the Twin Cities Shersquos responsible for 10000 teleworkers including 3000 in Minnesota ndash most of whom do not live in the Twin Cities

Creating a strong community telework environment May says should involve local government people responsible for local economic devel-opment educational institutions and broadband providers She lists three primary responsibilities

Marketing yourself as a teleworker-friendly community to those who would like to live on the North Shore and who may not know telework is possible from here

Making connections with area community colleges to ensure training is available for local residents in career areas easily adaptable to tele-work In the absence of a local community college this chore falls to Cook County Higher Education CCHE executive director Paula Sundet Wolf is aware of and exploring this need

Developing and marketing a broadband telework package to potential telework employers This May says involves the local telcoms (Cen-turyLink and Arrowhead Electric) creating service packages that best meet telework requirements (She recommends 15 Mbps download and 2 Mbps upload Asymmetrical service is best she says) setting an attrac-tive price for the service and developing the resources to provide same-day service responses when problems inevitably arise Before employers seriously will consider hiring teleworkers May says they must be as-sured of stable connections stable pricing and quick service-response times

Some time ago UnitedHealthCare created a customer-service call cen-ter in a remote Texas community where job opportunities were minimal They only pay $8-$15 per hour But the work is full-time year-round and provides vacation health-care and other benefits From the perspective of Cook County workers surviving on part-time seasonal jobs paying the same wage those UnitedHealthCare jobs would look pretty good

A strange sad irony of this legislative session is that efforts to save wolves from hunting may lead to the deaths of some dogs by trapping Efforts to revisit the regulations regarding the use of body-grip traps which critics say are responsible for killing several dogs every year in Minnesota have been stymied by legislators who say they will not introduce any trapping bills in 2013 for fear that anti-wolf hunting measures may be attached to them

The issue of body-grip traps and dogs is not new For years dog owners have complained often after losing a pet about the le-thal consequences of a dog being inadvertently caught in a body-grip trap which is designed to kill quickly The dog owner may have even been there when the incident occurred but lacked the ability to remove the trap before it killed the dog The Minne-sota DNR has always acknowledged such incidents occur but essentially brushes them off as insignificant on a statewide basis

But dog deaths suddenly became significant a couple of years ago when a handful of dog owners most of whom had lost dogs in body-grip traps decided to do something about the issue They formed a group Dog Lovers 4 Safe Trapping to push for reform of the rules for using body-grip traps Most of the mem-bers are the owners of hunting dogs They emphasize that while they are seeking changes to trapping rules they are not opposed to trapping

ldquoOur group tries very hard to distance ourselves from anti trap-ping and hunting organizationsrdquo says Dog Lovers 4 Safe Trap-ping MN board member and hunter Brett Harberts of Emily

Unlike foothold traps which are designed to capture and hold an animal by its foot body-grips are intended to kill an animal quickly by closing on its neck They are also commonly called ldquoConibearrdquo traps after inventor Frank Conibear While they come in sizes small enough for muskrats to large enough for beavers the mid-sized traps sizes 160 and 220 are of greatest concern to dog owners In Minnesota both traps may be set on the ground either in a baited set or as unbaited set along a trail The beaver-sized 330 body-grip must be at least half-submerged in water which makes it much less likely to inadvertently cap-ture dogs or other unintended animals

Last year the Legislature tweaked body-grip rules so that 160s and 220s used in baited sets must be recessed seven inches from the top of an enclosure or placed at least three feet off the ground Unbaited body-grips must be at least 20 feet from any attractant These statewide rules are significantly less restrictive than rules put in place several years ago to protect the federally threatened Canada lynx in northeastern Minnesota According to the lynx rules any 160 or 220 placed on the ground must be set in a cubby with the trap a minimum of seven inches from the opening The opening may not exceed 50 square inches which is a 7- by 7-inch square Unbaited trail sets are not allowed

Here in the northeast Irsquove heard few if any reports of dogs

being killed in body-grips since the lynx rules were adopted The same cannot be said of the statewide rule The Dog Lovers 4 Safe Trapping MN website notes the organization documented 13 dogs killed between Oct 20 and Dec 31 2012 the first trap-ping season for which the new statewide rules were in effect An additional 7 dogs were killed between Jan 1 and Mar 15 2012 before the rules were enacted This means a total of 20 dogs were killed by traps in Minnesota during 2012

Harberts says in contrast Wisconsin has reported very few dog deaths due to body-grips since changing its trapping rules in the

Spring forward with Lutsen Resortrsquos ldquoSpring Food amp Wine Weekendrdquo April 5-6 and savor the early harvest

This outstanding culinary event one of two exciting wine dinners held in the county each spring will highlight the harvest at this time of year said Rob Wells executive chef at Lutsen Resort

Wells and guest chef Mike DeCamp chef de cuisine at La Belle Vie in Minneapolis are working together to create a truly won-derful food experi-ence with the fresh-est ingredients of the season

Think lamb and leeks newly harvested greens wild mush-rooms and spring onions and then sit back and let the chefs decide how to create with them

Thatrsquos about how this food and wine week-end has evolved Wells said

ldquoWe came up with the basic idea ndash spring harvestrdquo he said ldquoThings are just coming into season right now and that focuses us on what we want to dordquo

The two chefs decided they would work to-gether to create tasty hors drsquooeuvres for the re-ception and wine tasting on Friday night and then alternate courses for the formal 6-course dinner with wine pairings on Saturday night

DeCamp who is an award-winning chef and a finalist in the James Beard national chef con-test this year for Best Chef-Midwest will do the first third and fifth courses Wells will do the second fourth and dessert

ldquoFor the second course ndash salads and soups

ndash leeks popped into my mind immediatelyrdquo Wells said ldquoTheyrsquore coming out of the ground right now ndash so leek souprdquo

Early vegetables like pea shoots and wild mushrooms were a natural for his fourth course and dessert includes mint a reliable early spring taste

The other half of dinner is the wine pairings that will complement and expand the food

experienceAndrew Beavers

wine and beverage manager at Lutsen Resort was given the menu and began re-searching what wines would be spectacular with these foods

Beavers said he de-cided to go with Or-egon wines for the six-course meal

ldquoI had a taste of the Oregon wine portfo-lio and it was wonder-fulrdquo he said ldquoItrsquos such a great region for this time of year The food is going to be spring and the dishes will be light I think these wines will play well with thatrdquo

Beavers said the Friday evening hors-

drsquooeuvres event will feature ldquoreally nice high-end hors drsquooeuvres and wersquoll taste from four to six wines Itrsquos more of a causal open feelrdquo

The Saturday night event is formalldquoI give a brief description of each wine before

the pairingrdquo he said ldquoThen the chef will come out and speak about what they did with a par-ticular course Itrsquos really funrdquo

The wines he chooses are not typically avail-able at a neighborhood beer store but larger wine shops will carry them and they can be found online he said

ldquoWhat I really focus on when Irsquom trying to put

this together is getting wines that people donrsquot have in their house We want it to be special ndash evocative of a wine tasting very experientialrdquo

Guests are welcome to stay at the resort for the weekend so they donrsquot have to drive Wells said

ldquoWe encourage people to stay We do shuttles for people And we generally do these dinners on nights when we are slower so there are plen-ty of rooms availablerdquo

People come year after year for the event he said

ldquoThey come to Lutsen and have a really nice wine dinner and make a vacation out of itrdquo

Bluefin By Resort also will hold a Food amp Wine Lovers Weekend May 3-4 featuring Chef Judi Barsness The event will feature a four-course dinner with wine pairings on Friday night a wine tasting on Saturday af-ternoon and a five-course dinner with wine pairings on Saturday night

late 1990s At the time Wisconsin was among several states that modified trapping rules fol-lowing the national development of Best Man-agement Practices (BMPs) for trapping Min-nesota chose not to incorporate BMPs into its trapping regulations In fact aside the statersquos trapping regulations have been largely un-changed for decades

The same could be said of the mindset of the statersquos wildlife bureaucracy and state trapping leaders both of whom have been reluctant to take the concerns of dog owners seriously per-haps from a fear that by doing so they would be taking a step down a slippery slope toward and eventual all-out trapping ban

The problem is Minnesota has changed In 1980 Minnesotarsquos population was just over 4 million In 2012 the population was estimated at nearly 54 million During that time frame wersquove seen a tremendous outmigration to rural areas especially in the lakes region by people seeking a better quality of life Very often that quality of life involves spending more time outdoors Trappers are no longer alone They are now joined by bird hunters using pointers and retrievers hounds used to pursue raccoons coyotes rabbits and other critters No less im-portant are the many rural dwellers who take their dogs along when hiking skiing and winter camping Itrsquos fair to say none of these folks wants their dog to be at risk of being killed in a trap

In recent years the Minnesota Trappers Association has run an advertisement in the state hunting regulations booklet showing how to remove an animal from a body-grip trap From my own experience us-ing body-grips I donrsquot believe the Average Joe or Jill would have the know-how or physical strength to quickly remove a

body-grip from their petHarberts says Dog Lovers 4 Safe Trapping

MN may have been stymied by the 2013 Leg-islature but they arenrsquot going away until dogs are safe from body-grip traps It wonrsquot be easy to change existing rules because trappers and wildlife bureaucrats are reluctant to give up body-grip trapping techniques that are effec-tive and convenient for trappers Harberts says his group and the Minnesota Trail Hound As-sociation continue to have cordial discussions with trappers on the issue but have made little progress toward resolution Until they do so more folks are likely to lose their hunting dogs and family pets

Killing 20 dogs in a year is unacceptable especially when nearly all of those losses are preventable Itrsquos time for the DNR to act like professional wildlife managers and address the issue The agencyrsquos goal should be to have zero dogs killed in body-grips The DNR needs to take the appropriate steps to achieve that goal through a combination of conflict resolution and new trapping rules While making chang-es to protect dogs may inconvenience trappers there doesnrsquot appear to be any evidence from Wisconsin or other states that doing so will have any effect on the fur harvest Itrsquos past time for Minnesota to make the changes necessary to protect dogs from body-grip traps

The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) has partnered with Sawtooth Mountain Clinic and the Grand Portage Band of Lake Superior Chippewa to conduct a study of 500 Cook County women of childbearing age to help determine why Cook County newborns exhibit high levels of mercury The study is funded by a grant from the Environmental Protection Agency

This new study comes on the heels of a 2007-2011 study of mercury levels in 1465 newborns in the Lake Superior Basin in which MDH participated along with the Wisconsin and Michi-gan departments of health That study found that 10 percent of newborns in the Minnesota region of the study have mercury levels above the EPArsquos safe level with a particularly high concen-tration of high mercury levels in Cook County newborns

Because developing nervous systems are particularly vulner-able to the harmful effects of mercury the MDH wanted to work with Cook County clinics to see if they could reduce newborn mercury levels said Pat McCann of the MDH who is the lead on the Cook County study Fetal exposure to methylmercury (the type of mercury found in fish) can lead to issues with cognition memory attention language and fine motor and visual spatial skills in children

ldquoOne good way to help with mercury levels is to work with health care providers since thatrsquos where women get most of their health informationrdquo said McCann

This new study will allow the MDH to do just that The exact role of Sawtooth Mountain Clinic and the Grand Portage band has not yet been exactly determined However McCann said the study will work to determine why Cook County newborns have high levels of mercury and work to better educate expectant mothers about which types of fish are safe to eat

McCann said they plan to begin enrolling Cook County women in the study in January 2014 and will continue to enroll women for about a year Women who qualify for the study will be asked to participate when they go in for a regularly scheduled appointment

At this point in the studyrsquos development McCann said she believes participants will be asked to complete a questionnaire about their fish-eating habits and also submit a blood sample The blood sample will be used to test participantsrsquo levels of mer-cury and Omega 3 fatty acids to help determine each partici-pantrsquos level of fish consumption

Ideally at the end of the study participantsrsquo blood sample will show a decrease in mercury But the same levels of the healthy Omega 3 fatty acids said McCann

Irsquove grown up in a society where technol-ogy is always evolving So knowing how to use a computer cell phone iPod or other electronic device has always seemed to come naturally Yet it can stump those de-cades older than me

While my dad can tear an airplane apart and put it back together figuring out how to make a cell phone call seems to be too dif-ficult for him let alone send a text message And even though my mom taught herself how to text she goes overboard and tries to shorten every word possible making it a game to try and decipher what shersquos really saying

Now being an English Major Irsquom pretty particular about my grammar but even I slip into a different lingo sometimes when texting If yoursquore going to keep up with young folks who can text an entire para-graph quicker than you can say ldquolaughing out loudrdquo then yoursquore going to have to know some basic texting terms

First off while most people know ldquololrdquo or ldquolaughing out loudrdquo there are many other variations of laughing You could be ldquoroflrdquo or ldquorolling on the floor laughingrdquo Or you could be ldquolmaordquo aka ldquolaughing my a off rdquo You could even combine the two for an epic ldquoroflmaordquo Another route would be to simply use haha or hehe Depending on how many harsquos or hersquos are used will determine the funny factor for the recipient so choose appropriately

Many words can be shortened to a single letter saving you precious texting time and letting you text much more rapidly Such words include ldquoyrdquo instead of ldquowhyrdquo ldquorrdquo vs ldquoarerdquo ldquocrdquo for ldquoseeseardquo ldquourdquo in place of ldquoyourdquo and many more Numbers can also be in-corporated into words like ldquob4rdquo instead of ldquobeforerdquo or ldquo2rdquo for ldquoto too and twordquo

Sometimes you want your texting conver-sation to be kept a secret Itrsquos those types of conversations that you become paranoid of people peaking over your shoulder If thatrsquos the case and someone is hovering just type ldquoposrdquo and your recipient should know that there is a parentperson over your shoulder and the conversation isnrsquot safe anymore

As for capitalizations commas and peri-ods when texting who cares Lowercase letters are the norm for texting and great punctuation isnrsquot expected although if used itrsquos always an improvement Just donrsquot use all uppercase letters or it is considered RUDE SHOUTING and nobody likes get-ting yelled at

Nowadays many people have smart phones allowing them to send emoticons for almost anything such as faces hearts hand gestures and more However the ba-sic self-typed happy and sad faces are still commonly used Send ) or ( to depict your emotions Turn your sad face into rsquo( to show your tears or turn that frown upside down with a cheesy wide smile such as D or P instead You can send a ) to wink at your texting buddy Feel like your faces are missing a nose Insert a hyphen to change your faces into -) or -D etc If you do have a smart phone then sending emoticons in

place of words is always an option Try play-ing different guessing games such as send-ing emoticons to represent song lyrics to stimulate hours of entertainment laughter and fun

The world of cell phones and texting is vir-tually unlimited Phrases faces games and abbreviations are always changing and ex-panding While it may seem impossible to

keep up follow these simple texting ldquorulesrdquo and you can do no wrong But beware you might just outdo the stereotypical teenager and become a texting fiend Irsquove already cre-ated monsters out of my parents although I suppose I should feel pretty lucky to have such ldquohip and cool parentsrdquo according to them So until next month ttyl and ttfn talk to you later and ta ta for now

omg Oh My Gosh o rly Oh Really omw On My Way hmu Hit Me Up tbh To Be Honest hbu How About You n2m Not Too Much jlmk Just Let Me Know wyw Whatever You Want brb Be Right Back nvm Nevermind np No Problem wth What the Heck jk Just Kidding idk or idc I donrsquot know or I donrsquot care

rial about fish consumption over the next few years as the MDH works to get women consuming fish with lower mercury levels

ldquoThere are lots of fish that women can eatrdquo she said McCann recommends women eat smaller fish and fish that are

lower on the food chain like pan fish and crappies Lake her-ring whitefish salmon and perch are also good low-mercury fish choices

To date the Minnesota Department of Health has only done mercury level studies in the Lake Superior basin so itrsquos un-known whether Cook Countyrsquos mercury levels are unusually high compared to the rest of the state said McCann April is Sexual Assault

18 NORTH SHORE HWY 61 APRIL 2013

By Joan Farnam

More than 35000 pounds of recycled materi-als are shipped out of the Cook County Recy-cling Center every week Last year alone 1029 tons or 21 million pounds of solid waste was collected there according to a report that was released last month

Thatrsquos a lot of recycled materials but is only one quarter of the solid waste Cook County generates every year

The recyclable materials are hauled to Har-telrsquosDBJ Disposal Companies in Proctor where they eventually end up in factories pa-per mills steel mills and other firms in Min-nesota across the country and the world to be reused or repurposed

The good news is that all that glass corrugat-ed cardboard newspaper magazines mixed paper steel cans aluminum mixed plastic and lead acid batteries are removed from the countyrsquos solid waste stream And the Recycling Center makes some money out of it

In all the recycling program brought in $48000 in 2012

More than half that revenue came from the Budget Shop ($27000) while aluminum cans accounted for another $18000 said Jeff Sylves-ter operatormanager of the Recycling Center

ldquoItrsquos nice to see a fiscal returnrdquo he said as he gave a tour of the facility recently

The price for recycled materials fluctuates with the stock market he said ldquoLike any com-modity it goes up and down When the econ-omy tanked in lsquo08 it wasnrsquot worth much The markets are improvingrdquo

Sylvester said the only thing thatrsquos not mak-ing much money is glass and used unwear-able clothing The brokerage fee that Hartelrsquos charges for handling glass ($35 a ton) pretty much cancels out what they can get for it he said and therersquos no market at all right now for used clothing

ldquoWe dumpster itrdquo he said ldquoBefore the reces-sion it went to the auto industry but we lost those markets Therersquos less need for it and wersquove not been able to find good viable buyersrdquo

The Recycling Center is looking forward to making more money this year It just started

working with Hartelrsquos in December and it has been profitable he said

When the Recycling Center was first started in 1988 the goal was to substantially reduce the solid waste that was being trucked to land-fills Businesses were encouraged to recycle as were homeowners and the program has met some of its goals

ldquoOur goal was to hit a 35 percent rate for homeownersrdquo he said and that was met last year

But more could be done he added ldquoEvery business recyclesrdquo he said ldquoThey pay by vol-ume so it behooves them to reducerdquo

Homeowners on the other hand can recycle for free but many just donrsquot bother

The figures reflect this In all Cook County generated 4900 tons of solid waste in 2012 and 3636 tons of that ended up in landfills

Curbside pickup of domestic recyclables just isnrsquot feasible he said ldquoThe county canrsquot afford itrdquo

Insteadthe program has set up five rural col-lection points to make recycling easier for both households and businesses

Three of the five rural stations are specifically for businesses to use Collection stations up the Sawbill Trail in Tofte near the old airport and the one in Grand Portage are open for house-hold use as well The Grand Portage site also handles business waste including cardboard he said

ldquoGrand Portage is also paying to pull the trailer They bring it in to usrdquo he said ldquoTheyrsquore good stewards of what theyrsquore doing Their green trailer is always impeccably cared for seldom is anything in the wrong placerdquo

Quality recyclables have to be properly sorted and this requires a lot of hand labor Sylvester said which is the primary reason why the re-cycling center is not open to the public all day every day

The employees need time to sort and bale whatrsquos coming in every day he said The cen-ter has four full-time employees and one has to staff the Budget Shop for half a day so ev-erybody is scrambling to get things ready for shipment in the mornings he said

Typically they will fill a 53-foot tractor-trailer

with material every weekOne of the most time-consuming to pro-

cess and ironically one of the most prof-itable recyclables is mixed paper he said One thing homeowners are encouraged to do is recycle their junk mail and good quality paper because it brings a good price and shouldnrsquot be taking up room in a landfill

Last year 938 tons of mixed paper was generated in the county and only 37 per-cent of that was recycled Sylvester recom-mends that personal documents be shred-ded but all other mixed paper is welcome

Because the recycling program is focused on reducing all solid waste as well as being good stewards of the environment it also has organized hazardous waste and elec-tronic waste collections twice a year takes used oil and oil filters as well as lead batter-ies and purchases aluminum cans at $20 a pound from 1-230 pm each day It also takes yard waste

It does not accept furniture appliances or mattresses These can be disposed of for a fee at Petersonrsquos Disposal

The Recycling Center is open from 11 am to 4 pm Monday through Wednesday and on Friday 11 am to 6 pm Thursday and 9 am to 1 pm Saturday

Sylvester said that his personal goal is to increase homeowner participation in the re-

cycling program to 50 percent Recycling is easy he said ldquoItrsquos free itrsquos the right thing to do and itrsquos environmentally responsible We hope people will start recycling morerdquo

Cook County recycles tons of stuff

The Cook County Recycling Center trucks about 35000 pounds of recyclables every week to its broker in Proctor Manageroperator Jeff Sylvester is in one of the semi-trailers thatrsquos almost ready to go Photos by Joan Farnam

Preparing for Broadband

By Jim Boyd

The words ldquoteleworkrdquo and ldquotelecommuterdquo donrsquot trip lightly off the tongue Mention them and you likely will get a vacant look in response Thatrsquos because they donrsquot tell you what someone does just how they do it by remote computer connection

And yet the two words may together capture Cook Countyrsquos greatest hope for sustainable low-impact economic development especially de-velopment that makes it possible for more young families to put down roots here

Linda Luebchow knows all about telework Itrsquos what she does every day from the small office she rents at Cook County Higher Educationrsquos North Shore Campus Luebchow works for the immunization registry at the Minnesota Department of Health

When Luebchowrsquos husband retired from his teaching position several years ago the couple moved permanently to their home near Paradise Beach east of Grand Marais

ldquoIf it hadnrsquot been for this (teleworking arrangement)rdquo Luebchow says ldquoI would have had to retire too And I didnrsquot want to do thatrdquo

Luebchow is an ardent advocate for the benefits telework promises Cook County especially once Arrowhead Electricrsquos fiber-optic broad-band network is complete Then everyone on the countyrsquos electrical grid will have the ability to work via computer from home Until then most telework is limited to Grand Marais and a few CenturyLink DSL nodes Thatrsquos why Luebchow rents space from Higher Ed

Itrsquos Already HereIn 2010 there were 140 residents of Cook County who worked for em-

ployers in Duluth the Twin Cities Grand Rapids and other cities ac-cording to the US Census Many perhaps most of them telecommute ndash connecting with their employers via computer connections

ldquoTelecommutingrdquo comes in many flavors At one end of the spectrum it can involve employees working on their own and connecting occa-sionally via email or Skype At the other end it involves someone mak-ing a daily connection between their computer and their company net-work located elsewhere

The latter workers tend to connect via something called a ldquovirtual pri-vate networkrdquo or VPN With a VPN connection itrsquos as if remote work-ers were actually in the company office

VPN connections and dial-up or satellite Internet get along about as well as a Model A and a trip to the moon They donrsquot

That said some telecommuters are doing amazing things from Cook County already designing software writing technical manuals editing books selling real estate managing nonprofits working as chemists and physicistsand project managers

A recent informal survey of county telecommuters also elicited a num-ber of comments from people who a) live in the Twin Cities now tele-commute to jobs elsewhere in the Twin Cities and are eager to move that work to Cook County or b) work elsewhere but plan to begin telecom-

muting and move to Cook County once Arrowhead inaugurates broad-band service

From this anecdotal information it seems clear that Cook County will get a substantial economic and population boost from the advent of Ar-rowhead broadband This will happen without much effort beyond Ar-rowhead lighting up its fiber-optic network A much more determined effort will be required to create telework opportunities for young people just starting out especially those who have no skills that lend them-selves to telework

Making It HappenJulie May manages work-at-home programs for UnitedHealthCare

in the Twin Cities Shersquos responsible for 10000 teleworkers including 3000 in Minnesota ndash most of whom do not live in the Twin Cities

Creating a strong community telework environment May says should involve local government people responsible for local economic devel-opment educational institutions and broadband providers She lists three primary responsibilities

Marketing yourself as a teleworker-friendly community to those who would like to live on the North Shore and who may not know telework is possible from here

Making connections with area community colleges to ensure training is available for local residents in career areas easily adaptable to tele-work In the absence of a local community college this chore falls to Cook County Higher Education CCHE executive director Paula Sundet Wolf is aware of and exploring this need

Developing and marketing a broadband telework package to potential telework employers This May says involves the local telcoms (Cen-turyLink and Arrowhead Electric) creating service packages that best meet telework requirements (She recommends 15 Mbps download and 2 Mbps upload Asymmetrical service is best she says) setting an attrac-tive price for the service and developing the resources to provide same-day service responses when problems inevitably arise Before employers seriously will consider hiring teleworkers May says they must be as-sured of stable connections stable pricing and quick service-response times

Some time ago UnitedHealthCare created a customer-service call cen-ter in a remote Texas community where job opportunities were minimal They only pay $8-$15 per hour But the work is full-time year-round and provides vacation health-care and other benefits From the perspective of Cook County workers surviving on part-time seasonal jobs paying the same wage those UnitedHealthCare jobs would look pretty good

A strange sad irony of this legislative session is that efforts to save wolves from hunting may lead to the deaths of some dogs by trapping Efforts to revisit the regulations regarding the use of body-grip traps which critics say are responsible for killing several dogs every year in Minnesota have been stymied by legislators who say they will not introduce any trapping bills in 2013 for fear that anti-wolf hunting measures may be attached to them

The issue of body-grip traps and dogs is not new For years dog owners have complained often after losing a pet about the le-thal consequences of a dog being inadvertently caught in a body-grip trap which is designed to kill quickly The dog owner may have even been there when the incident occurred but lacked the ability to remove the trap before it killed the dog The Minne-sota DNR has always acknowledged such incidents occur but essentially brushes them off as insignificant on a statewide basis

But dog deaths suddenly became significant a couple of years ago when a handful of dog owners most of whom had lost dogs in body-grip traps decided to do something about the issue They formed a group Dog Lovers 4 Safe Trapping to push for reform of the rules for using body-grip traps Most of the mem-bers are the owners of hunting dogs They emphasize that while they are seeking changes to trapping rules they are not opposed to trapping

ldquoOur group tries very hard to distance ourselves from anti trap-ping and hunting organizationsrdquo says Dog Lovers 4 Safe Trap-ping MN board member and hunter Brett Harberts of Emily

Unlike foothold traps which are designed to capture and hold an animal by its foot body-grips are intended to kill an animal quickly by closing on its neck They are also commonly called ldquoConibearrdquo traps after inventor Frank Conibear While they come in sizes small enough for muskrats to large enough for beavers the mid-sized traps sizes 160 and 220 are of greatest concern to dog owners In Minnesota both traps may be set on the ground either in a baited set or as unbaited set along a trail The beaver-sized 330 body-grip must be at least half-submerged in water which makes it much less likely to inadvertently cap-ture dogs or other unintended animals

Last year the Legislature tweaked body-grip rules so that 160s and 220s used in baited sets must be recessed seven inches from the top of an enclosure or placed at least three feet off the ground Unbaited body-grips must be at least 20 feet from any attractant These statewide rules are significantly less restrictive than rules put in place several years ago to protect the federally threatened Canada lynx in northeastern Minnesota According to the lynx rules any 160 or 220 placed on the ground must be set in a cubby with the trap a minimum of seven inches from the opening The opening may not exceed 50 square inches which is a 7- by 7-inch square Unbaited trail sets are not allowed

Here in the northeast Irsquove heard few if any reports of dogs

being killed in body-grips since the lynx rules were adopted The same cannot be said of the statewide rule The Dog Lovers 4 Safe Trapping MN website notes the organization documented 13 dogs killed between Oct 20 and Dec 31 2012 the first trap-ping season for which the new statewide rules were in effect An additional 7 dogs were killed between Jan 1 and Mar 15 2012 before the rules were enacted This means a total of 20 dogs were killed by traps in Minnesota during 2012

Harberts says in contrast Wisconsin has reported very few dog deaths due to body-grips since changing its trapping rules in the

Spring forward with Lutsen Resortrsquos ldquoSpring Food amp Wine Weekendrdquo April 5-6 and savor the early harvest

This outstanding culinary event one of two exciting wine dinners held in the county each spring will highlight the harvest at this time of year said Rob Wells executive chef at Lutsen Resort

Wells and guest chef Mike DeCamp chef de cuisine at La Belle Vie in Minneapolis are working together to create a truly won-derful food experi-ence with the fresh-est ingredients of the season

Think lamb and leeks newly harvested greens wild mush-rooms and spring onions and then sit back and let the chefs decide how to create with them

Thatrsquos about how this food and wine week-end has evolved Wells said

ldquoWe came up with the basic idea ndash spring harvestrdquo he said ldquoThings are just coming into season right now and that focuses us on what we want to dordquo

The two chefs decided they would work to-gether to create tasty hors drsquooeuvres for the re-ception and wine tasting on Friday night and then alternate courses for the formal 6-course dinner with wine pairings on Saturday night

DeCamp who is an award-winning chef and a finalist in the James Beard national chef con-test this year for Best Chef-Midwest will do the first third and fifth courses Wells will do the second fourth and dessert

ldquoFor the second course ndash salads and soups

ndash leeks popped into my mind immediatelyrdquo Wells said ldquoTheyrsquore coming out of the ground right now ndash so leek souprdquo

Early vegetables like pea shoots and wild mushrooms were a natural for his fourth course and dessert includes mint a reliable early spring taste

The other half of dinner is the wine pairings that will complement and expand the food

experienceAndrew Beavers

wine and beverage manager at Lutsen Resort was given the menu and began re-searching what wines would be spectacular with these foods

Beavers said he de-cided to go with Or-egon wines for the six-course meal

ldquoI had a taste of the Oregon wine portfo-lio and it was wonder-fulrdquo he said ldquoItrsquos such a great region for this time of year The food is going to be spring and the dishes will be light I think these wines will play well with thatrdquo

Beavers said the Friday evening hors-

drsquooeuvres event will feature ldquoreally nice high-end hors drsquooeuvres and wersquoll taste from four to six wines Itrsquos more of a causal open feelrdquo

The Saturday night event is formalldquoI give a brief description of each wine before

the pairingrdquo he said ldquoThen the chef will come out and speak about what they did with a par-ticular course Itrsquos really funrdquo

The wines he chooses are not typically avail-able at a neighborhood beer store but larger wine shops will carry them and they can be found online he said

ldquoWhat I really focus on when Irsquom trying to put

this together is getting wines that people donrsquot have in their house We want it to be special ndash evocative of a wine tasting very experientialrdquo

Guests are welcome to stay at the resort for the weekend so they donrsquot have to drive Wells said

ldquoWe encourage people to stay We do shuttles for people And we generally do these dinners on nights when we are slower so there are plen-ty of rooms availablerdquo

People come year after year for the event he said

ldquoThey come to Lutsen and have a really nice wine dinner and make a vacation out of itrdquo

late 1990s At the time Wisconsin was among several states that modified trapping rules fol-lowing the national development of Best Man-agement Practices (BMPs) for trapping Min-nesota chose not to incorporate BMPs into its trapping regulations In fact aside the statersquos trapping regulations have been largely un-changed for decades

The same could be said of the mindset of the statersquos wildlife bureaucracy and state trapping leaders both of whom have been reluctant to take the concerns of dog owners seriously per-haps from a fear that by doing so they would be taking a step down a slippery slope toward and eventual all-out trapping ban

The problem is Minnesota has changed In 1980 Minnesotarsquos population was just over 4 million In 2012 the population was estimated at nearly 54 million During that time frame wersquove seen a tremendous outmigration to rural areas especially in the lakes region by people seeking a better quality of life Very often that quality of life involves spending more time outdoors Trappers are no longer alone They are now joined by bird hunters using pointers and retrievers hounds used to pursue raccoons coyotes rabbits and other critters No less im-portant are the many rural dwellers who take their dogs along when hiking skiing and winter camping Itrsquos fair to say none of these folks wants their dog to be at risk of being killed in a trap

In recent years the Minnesota Trappers Association has run an advertisement in the state hunting regulations booklet showing how to remove an animal from a body-grip trap From my own experience us-ing body-grips I donrsquot believe the Average Joe or Jill would have the know-how or physical strength to quickly remove a

body-grip from their petHarberts says Dog Lovers 4 Safe Trapping

MN may have been stymied by the 2013 Leg-islature but they arenrsquot going away until dogs are safe from body-grip traps It wonrsquot be easy to change existing rules because trappers and wildlife bureaucrats are reluctant to give up body-grip trapping techniques that are effec-tive and convenient for trappers Harberts says his group and the Minnesota Trail Hound As-sociation continue to have cordial discussions with trappers on the issue but have made little progress toward resolution Until they do so more folks are likely to lose their hunting dogs and family pets

Killing 20 dogs in a year is unacceptable especially when nearly all of those losses are preventable Itrsquos time for the DNR to act like professional wildlife managers and address the issue The agencyrsquos goal should be to have zero dogs killed in body-grips The DNR needs to take the appropriate steps to achieve that goal through a combination of conflict resolution and new trapping rules While making chang-es to protect dogs may inconvenience trappers there doesnrsquot appear to be any evidence from Wisconsin or other states that doing so will have any effect on the fur harvest Itrsquos past time for Minnesota to make the changes necessary to protect dogs from body-grip traps

By Ada Igoe

The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) has partnered with Sawtooth Mountain Clinic and the Grand Portage Band of Lake Superior Chippewa to conduct a study of 500 Cook County women of childbearing age to help determine why Cook County newborns exhibit high levels of mercury The study is funded by a grant from the Environmental Protection Agency

This new study comes on the heels of a 2007-2011 study of mercury levels in 1465 newborns in the Lake Superior Basin in which MDH participated along with the Wisconsin and Michi-gan departments of health That study found that 10 percent of newborns in the Minnesota region of the study have mercury levels above the EPArsquos safe level with a particularly high concen-tration of high mercury levels in Cook County newborns

Because developing nervous systems are particularly vulner-able to the harmful effects of mercury the MDH wanted to work with Cook County clinics to see if they could reduce newborn mercury levels said Pat McCann of the MDH who is the lead on the Cook County study Fetal exposure to methylmercury (the type of mercury found in fish) can lead to issues with cognition memory attention language and fine motor and visual spatial skills in children

ldquoOne good way to help with mercury levels is to work with health care providers since thatrsquos where women get most of their health informationrdquo said McCann

This new study will allow the MDH to do just that The exact role of Sawtooth Mountain Clinic and the Grand Portage band has not yet been exactly determined However McCann said the study will work to determine why Cook County newborns have high levels of mercury and work to better educate expectant mothers about which types of fish are safe to eat

McCann said they plan to begin enrolling Cook County women in the study in January 2014 and will continue to enroll women for about a year Women who qualify for the study will be asked to participate when they go in for a regularly scheduled appointment

At this point in the studyrsquos development McCann said she believes participants will be asked to complete a questionnaire about their fish-eating habits and also submit a blood sample The blood sample will be used to test participantsrsquo levels of mer-cury and Omega 3 fatty acids to help determine each partici-pantrsquos level of fish consumption

Ideally at the end of the study participantsrsquo blood sample will show a decrease in mercury But the same levels of the healthy Omega 3 fatty acids said McCann

ldquoWe want women to keep eating fishrdquo McCann said Cook County residents will likely see more educational mate-

Irsquove grown up in a society where technol-ogy is always evolving So knowing how to use a computer cell phone iPod or other electronic device has always seemed to come naturally Yet it can stump those de-cades older than me

While my dad can tear an airplane apart and put it back together figuring out how to make a cell phone call seems to be too dif-ficult for him let alone send a text message And even though my mom taught herself how to text she goes overboard and tries to shorten every word possible making it a game to try and decipher what shersquos really saying

Now being an English Major Irsquom pretty particular about my grammar but even I slip into a different lingo sometimes when texting If yoursquore going to keep up with young folks who can text an entire para-graph quicker than you can say ldquolaughing out loudrdquo then yoursquore going to have to know some basic texting terms

First off while most people know ldquololrdquo or ldquolaughing out loudrdquo there are many other variations of laughing You could be ldquoroflrdquo or ldquorolling on the floor laughingrdquo Or you could be ldquolmaordquo aka ldquolaughing my a off rdquo You could even combine the two for an epic ldquoroflmaordquo Another route would be to simply use haha or hehe Depending on how many harsquos or hersquos are used will determine the funny factor for the recipient so choose appropriately

Many words can be shortened to a single letter saving you precious texting time and letting you text much more rapidly Such words include ldquoyrdquo instead of ldquowhyrdquo ldquorrdquo vs ldquoarerdquo ldquocrdquo for ldquoseeseardquo ldquourdquo in place of ldquoyourdquo and many more Numbers can also be in-corporated into words like ldquob4rdquo instead of ldquobeforerdquo or ldquo2rdquo for ldquoto too and twordquo

Sometimes you want your texting conver-sation to be kept a secret Itrsquos those types of conversations that you become paranoid of people peaking over your shoulder If thatrsquos the case and someone is hovering just type ldquoposrdquo and your recipient should know that there is a parentperson over your shoulder and the conversation isnrsquot safe anymore

As for capitalizations commas and peri-ods when texting who cares Lowercase letters are the norm for texting and great punctuation isnrsquot expected although if used itrsquos always an improvement Just donrsquot use all uppercase letters or it is considered RUDE SHOUTING and nobody likes get-ting yelled at

Nowadays many people have smart phones allowing them to send emoticons for almost anything such as faces hearts hand gestures and more However the ba-sic self-typed happy and sad faces are still commonly used Send ) or ( to depict your emotions Turn your sad face into rsquo( to show your tears or turn that frown upside down with a cheesy wide smile such as D or P instead You can send a ) to wink at your texting buddy Feel like your faces are missing a nose Insert a hyphen to change your faces into -) or -D etc If you do have a smart phone then sending emoticons in

place of words is always an option Try play-ing different guessing games such as send-ing emoticons to represent song lyrics to stimulate hours of entertainment laughter and fun

The world of cell phones and texting is vir-tually unlimited Phrases faces games and abbreviations are always changing and ex-panding While it may seem impossible to

keep up follow these simple texting ldquorulesrdquo and you can do no wrong But beware you might just outdo the stereotypical teenager and become a texting fiend Irsquove already cre-ated monsters out of my parents although I suppose I should feel pretty lucky to have such ldquohip and cool parentsrdquo according to them So until next month ttyl and ttfn talk to you later and ta ta for now

omg Oh My Gosh o rly Oh Really omw On My Way hmu Hit Me Up tbh To Be Honest hbu How About You n2m Not Too Much jlmk Just Let Me Know wyw Whatever You Want brb Be Right Back nvm Nevermind np No Problem wth What the Heck jk Just Kidding idk or idc I donrsquot know or I donrsquot care

ldquoWe want women to keep eating fishrdquo McCann said Cook County residents will likely see more educational mate-

rial about fish consumption over the next few years as the MDH works to get women consuming fish with lower mercury levels

ldquoThere are lots of fish that women can eatrdquo she said McCann recommends women eat smaller fish and fish that are

lower on the food chain like pan fish and crappies Lake her-ring whitefish salmon and perch are also good low-mercury fish choices

To date the Minnesota Department of Health has only done mercury level studies in the Lake Superior basin so itrsquos un-known whether Cook Countyrsquos mercury levels are unusually high compared to the rest of the state said McCann April is Sexual Assault

18 NORTH SHORE HWY 61 APRIL 2013

By Joan Farnam

More than 35000 pounds of recycled materi-als are shipped out of the Cook County Recy-cling Center every week Last year alone 1029 tons or 21 million pounds of solid waste was collected there according to a report that was released last month

Thatrsquos a lot of recycled materials but is only one quarter of the solid waste Cook County generates every year

The recyclable materials are hauled to Har-telrsquosDBJ Disposal Companies in Proctor where they eventually end up in factories pa-per mills steel mills and other firms in Min-nesota across the country and the world to be reused or repurposed

The good news is that all that glass corrugat-ed cardboard newspaper magazines mixed paper steel cans aluminum mixed plastic and lead acid batteries are removed from the countyrsquos solid waste stream And the Recycling Center makes some money out of it

In all the recycling program brought in $48000 in 2012

More than half that revenue came from the Budget Shop ($27000) while aluminum cans accounted for another $18000 said Jeff Sylves-ter operatormanager of the Recycling Center

ldquoItrsquos nice to see a fiscal returnrdquo he said as he gave a tour of the facility recently

The price for recycled materials fluctuates with the stock market he said ldquoLike any com-modity it goes up and down When the econ-omy tanked in lsquo08 it wasnrsquot worth much The markets are improvingrdquo

Sylvester said the only thing thatrsquos not mak-ing much money is glass and used unwear-able clothing The brokerage fee that Hartelrsquos charges for handling glass ($35 a ton) pretty much cancels out what they can get for it he said and therersquos no market at all right now for used clothing

ldquoWe dumpster itrdquo he said ldquoBefore the reces-sion it went to the auto industry but we lost those markets Therersquos less need for it and wersquove not been able to find good viable buyersrdquo

The Recycling Center is looking forward to making more money this year It just started

working with Hartelrsquos in December and it has been profitable he said

When the Recycling Center was first started in 1988 the goal was to substantially reduce the solid waste that was being trucked to land-fills Businesses were encouraged to recycle as were homeowners and the program has met some of its goals

ldquoOur goal was to hit a 35 percent rate for homeownersrdquo he said and that was met last year

But more could be done he added ldquoEvery business recyclesrdquo he said ldquoThey pay by vol-ume so it behooves them to reducerdquo

Homeowners on the other hand can recycle for free but many just donrsquot bother

The figures reflect this In all Cook County generated 4900 tons of solid waste in 2012 and 3636 tons of that ended up in landfills

Curbside pickup of domestic recyclables just isnrsquot feasible he said ldquoThe county canrsquot afford itrdquo

Insteadthe program has set up five rural col-lection points to make recycling easier for both households and businesses

Three of the five rural stations are specifically for businesses to use Collection stations up the Sawbill Trail in Tofte near the old airport and the one in Grand Portage are open for house-hold use as well The Grand Portage site also handles business waste including cardboard he said

ldquoGrand Portage is also paying to pull the trailer They bring it in to usrdquo he said ldquoTheyrsquore good stewards of what theyrsquore doing Their green trailer is always impeccably cared for seldom is anything in the wrong placerdquo

Quality recyclables have to be properly sorted and this requires a lot of hand labor Sylvester said which is the primary reason why the re-cycling center is not open to the public all day every day

The employees need time to sort and bale whatrsquos coming in every day he said The cen-ter has four full-time employees and one has to staff the Budget Shop for half a day so ev-erybody is scrambling to get things ready for shipment in the mornings he said

Typically they will fill a 53-foot tractor-trailer

with material every weekOne of the most time-consuming to pro-

cess and ironically one of the most prof-itable recyclables is mixed paper he said One thing homeowners are encouraged to do is recycle their junk mail and good quality paper because it brings a good price and shouldnrsquot be taking up room in a landfill

Last year 938 tons of mixed paper was generated in the county and only 37 per-cent of that was recycled Sylvester recom-mends that personal documents be shred-ded but all other mixed paper is welcome

Because the recycling program is focused on reducing all solid waste as well as being good stewards of the environment it also has organized hazardous waste and elec-tronic waste collections twice a year takes used oil and oil filters as well as lead batter-ies and purchases aluminum cans at $20 a pound from 1-230 pm each day It also takes yard waste

It does not accept furniture appliances or mattresses These can be disposed of for a fee at Petersonrsquos Disposal

The Recycling Center is open from 11 am to 4 pm Monday through Wednesday and on Friday 11 am to 6 pm Thursday and 9 am to 1 pm Saturday

Sylvester said that his personal goal is to increase homeowner participation in the re-

cycling program to 50 percent Recycling is easy he said ldquoItrsquos free itrsquos the right thing to do and itrsquos environmentally responsible We hope people will start recycling morerdquo

Cook County recycles tons of stuff

The Cook County Recycling Center trucks about 35000 pounds of recyclables every week to its broker in Proctor Manageroperator Jeff Sylvester is in one of the semi-trailers thatrsquos almost ready to go Photos by Joan Farnam

Preparing for Broadband

By Jim Boyd

The words ldquoteleworkrdquo and ldquotelecommuterdquo donrsquot trip lightly off the tongue Mention them and you likely will get a vacant look in response Thatrsquos because they donrsquot tell you what someone does just how they do it by remote computer connection

And yet the two words may together capture Cook Countyrsquos greatest hope for sustainable low-impact economic development especially de-velopment that makes it possible for more young families to put down roots here

Linda Luebchow knows all about telework Itrsquos what she does every day from the small office she rents at Cook County Higher Educationrsquos North Shore Campus Luebchow works for the immunization registry at the Minnesota Department of Health

When Luebchowrsquos husband retired from his teaching position several years ago the couple moved permanently to their home near Paradise Beach east of Grand Marais

ldquoIf it hadnrsquot been for this (teleworking arrangement)rdquo Luebchow says ldquoI would have had to retire too And I didnrsquot want to do thatrdquo

Luebchow is an ardent advocate for the benefits telework promises Cook County especially once Arrowhead Electricrsquos fiber-optic broad-band network is complete Then everyone on the countyrsquos electrical grid will have the ability to work via computer from home Until then most telework is limited to Grand Marais and a few CenturyLink DSL nodes Thatrsquos why Luebchow rents space from Higher Ed

Itrsquos Already HereIn 2010 there were 140 residents of Cook County who worked for em-

ployers in Duluth the Twin Cities Grand Rapids and other cities ac-cording to the US Census Many perhaps most of them telecommute ndash connecting with their employers via computer connections

ldquoTelecommutingrdquo comes in many flavors At one end of the spectrum it can involve employees working on their own and connecting occa-sionally via email or Skype At the other end it involves someone mak-ing a daily connection between their computer and their company net-work located elsewhere

The latter workers tend to connect via something called a ldquovirtual pri-vate networkrdquo or VPN With a VPN connection itrsquos as if remote work-ers were actually in the company office

VPN connections and dial-up or satellite Internet get along about as well as a Model A and a trip to the moon They donrsquot

That said some telecommuters are doing amazing things from Cook County already designing software writing technical manuals editing books selling real estate managing nonprofits working as chemists and physicistsand project managers

A recent informal survey of county telecommuters also elicited a num-ber of comments from people who a) live in the Twin Cities now tele-commute to jobs elsewhere in the Twin Cities and are eager to move that work to Cook County or b) work elsewhere but plan to begin telecom-

muting and move to Cook County once Arrowhead inaugurates broad-band service

From this anecdotal information it seems clear that Cook County will get a substantial economic and population boost from the advent of Ar-rowhead broadband This will happen without much effort beyond Ar-rowhead lighting up its fiber-optic network A much more determined effort will be required to create telework opportunities for young people just starting out especially those who have no skills that lend them-selves to telework

Making It HappenJulie May manages work-at-home programs for UnitedHealthCare

in the Twin Cities Shersquos responsible for 10000 teleworkers including 3000 in Minnesota ndash most of whom do not live in the Twin Cities

Creating a strong community telework environment May says should involve local government people responsible for local economic devel-opment educational institutions and broadband providers She lists three primary responsibilities

Marketing yourself as a teleworker-friendly community to those who would like to live on the North Shore and who may not know telework is possible from here

Making connections with area community colleges to ensure training is available for local residents in career areas easily adaptable to tele-work In the absence of a local community college this chore falls to Cook County Higher Education CCHE executive director Paula Sundet Wolf is aware of and exploring this need

Developing and marketing a broadband telework package to potential telework employers This May says involves the local telcoms (Cen-turyLink and Arrowhead Electric) creating service packages that best meet telework requirements (She recommends 15 Mbps download and 2 Mbps upload Asymmetrical service is best she says) setting an attrac-tive price for the service and developing the resources to provide same-day service responses when problems inevitably arise Before employers seriously will consider hiring teleworkers May says they must be as-sured of stable connections stable pricing and quick service-response times

Some time ago UnitedHealthCare created a customer-service call cen-ter in a remote Texas community where job opportunities were minimal They only pay $8-$15 per hour But the work is full-time year-round and provides vacation health-care and other benefits From the perspective of Cook County workers surviving on part-time seasonal jobs paying the same wage those UnitedHealthCare jobs would look pretty good

A strange sad irony of this legislative session is that efforts to save wolves from hunting may lead to the deaths of some dogs by trapping Efforts to revisit the regulations regarding the use of body-grip traps which critics say are responsible for killing several dogs every year in Minnesota have been stymied by legislators who say they will not introduce any trapping bills in 2013 for fear that anti-wolf hunting measures may be attached to them

The issue of body-grip traps and dogs is not new For years dog owners have complained often after losing a pet about the le-thal consequences of a dog being inadvertently caught in a body-grip trap which is designed to kill quickly The dog owner may have even been there when the incident occurred but lacked the ability to remove the trap before it killed the dog The Minne-sota DNR has always acknowledged such incidents occur but essentially brushes them off as insignificant on a statewide basis

But dog deaths suddenly became significant a couple of years ago when a handful of dog owners most of whom had lost dogs in body-grip traps decided to do something about the issue They formed a group Dog Lovers 4 Safe Trapping to push for reform of the rules for using body-grip traps Most of the mem-bers are the owners of hunting dogs They emphasize that while they are seeking changes to trapping rules they are not opposed to trapping

ldquoOur group tries very hard to distance ourselves from anti trap-ping and hunting organizationsrdquo says Dog Lovers 4 Safe Trap-ping MN board member and hunter Brett Harberts of Emily

Unlike foothold traps which are designed to capture and hold an animal by its foot body-grips are intended to kill an animal quickly by closing on its neck They are also commonly called ldquoConibearrdquo traps after inventor Frank Conibear While they come in sizes small enough for muskrats to large enough for beavers the mid-sized traps sizes 160 and 220 are of greatest concern to dog owners In Minnesota both traps may be set on the ground either in a baited set or as unbaited set along a trail The beaver-sized 330 body-grip must be at least half-submerged in water which makes it much less likely to inadvertently cap-ture dogs or other unintended animals

Last year the Legislature tweaked body-grip rules so that 160s and 220s used in baited sets must be recessed seven inches from the top of an enclosure or placed at least three feet off the ground Unbaited body-grips must be at least 20 feet from any attractant These statewide rules are significantly less restrictive than rules put in place several years ago to protect the federally threatened Canada lynx in northeastern Minnesota According to the lynx rules any 160 or 220 placed on the ground must be set in a cubby with the trap a minimum of seven inches from the opening The opening may not exceed 50 square inches which is a 7- by 7-inch square Unbaited trail sets are not allowed

Here in the northeast Irsquove heard few if any reports of dogs

being killed in body-grips since the lynx rules were adopted The same cannot be said of the statewide rule The Dog Lovers 4 Safe Trapping MN website notes the organization documented 13 dogs killed between Oct 20 and Dec 31 2012 the first trap-ping season for which the new statewide rules were in effect An additional 7 dogs were killed between Jan 1 and Mar 15 2012 before the rules were enacted This means a total of 20 dogs were killed by traps in Minnesota during 2012

Harberts says in contrast Wisconsin has reported very few dog deaths due to body-grips since changing its trapping rules in the

Spring forward with Lutsen Resortrsquos ldquoSpring Food amp Wine Weekendrdquo April 5-6 and savor the early harvest

This outstanding culinary event one of two exciting wine dinners held in the county each spring will highlight the harvest at this time of year said Rob Wells executive chef at Lutsen Resort

Wells and guest chef Mike DeCamp chef de cuisine at La Belle Vie in Minneapolis are working together to create a truly won-derful food experi-ence with the fresh-est ingredients of the season

Think lamb and leeks newly harvested greens wild mush-rooms and spring onions and then sit back and let the chefs decide how to create with them

Thatrsquos about how this food and wine week-end has evolved Wells said

ldquoWe came up with the basic idea ndash spring harvestrdquo he said ldquoThings are just coming into season right now and that focuses us on what we want to dordquo

The two chefs decided they would work to-gether to create tasty hors drsquooeuvres for the re-ception and wine tasting on Friday night and then alternate courses for the formal 6-course dinner with wine pairings on Saturday night

DeCamp who is an award-winning chef and a finalist in the James Beard national chef con-test this year for Best Chef-Midwest will do the first third and fifth courses Wells will do the second fourth and dessert

ldquoFor the second course ndash salads and soups

ndash leeks popped into my mind immediatelyrdquo Wells said ldquoTheyrsquore coming out of the ground right now ndash so leek souprdquo

Early vegetables like pea shoots and wild mushrooms were a natural for his fourth course and dessert includes mint a reliable early spring taste

The other half of dinner is the wine pairings that will complement and expand the food

experienceAndrew Beavers

wine and beverage manager at Lutsen Resort was given the menu and began re-searching what wines would be spectacular with these foods

Beavers said he de-cided to go with Or-egon wines for the six-course meal

ldquoI had a taste of the Oregon wine portfo-lio and it was wonder-fulrdquo he said ldquoItrsquos such a great region for this time of year The food is going to be spring and the dishes will be light I think these wines will play well with thatrdquo

Beavers said the Friday evening hors-

drsquooeuvres event will feature ldquoreally nice high-end hors drsquooeuvres and wersquoll taste from four to six wines Itrsquos more of a causal open feelrdquo

The Saturday night event is formalldquoI give a brief description of each wine before

the pairingrdquo he said ldquoThen the chef will come out and speak about what they did with a par-ticular course Itrsquos really funrdquo

The wines he chooses are not typically avail-able at a neighborhood beer store but larger wine shops will carry them and they can be found online he said

ldquoWhat I really focus on when Irsquom trying to put

this together is getting wines that people donrsquot have in their house We want it to be special ndash evocative of a wine tasting very experientialrdquo

Guests are welcome to stay at the resort for the weekend so they donrsquot have to drive Wells said

ldquoWe encourage people to stay We do shuttles for people And we generally do these dinners on nights when we are slower so there are plen-ty of rooms availablerdquo

People come year after year for the event he said

ldquoThey come to Lutsen and have a really nice wine dinner and make a vacation out of itrdquo

Bluefin By Resort also will hold a Food amp Wine Lovers Weekend May 3-4 featuring Chef Judi Barsness The event will feature a four-course dinner with wine pairings on Friday night a wine tasting on Saturday af-ternoon and a five-course dinner with wine pairings on Saturday night

late 1990s At the time Wisconsin was among several states that modified trapping rules fol-lowing the national development of Best Man-agement Practices (BMPs) for trapping Min-nesota chose not to incorporate BMPs into its trapping regulations In fact aside the statersquos trapping regulations have been largely un-changed for decades

The same could be said of the mindset of the statersquos wildlife bureaucracy and state trapping leaders both of whom have been reluctant to take the concerns of dog owners seriously per-haps from a fear that by doing so they would be taking a step down a slippery slope toward and eventual all-out trapping ban

The problem is Minnesota has changed In 1980 Minnesotarsquos population was just over 4 million In 2012 the population was estimated at nearly 54 million During that time frame wersquove seen a tremendous outmigration to rural areas especially in the lakes region by people seeking a better quality of life Very often that quality of life involves spending more time outdoors Trappers are no longer alone They are now joined by bird hunters using pointers and retrievers hounds used to pursue raccoons coyotes rabbits and other critters No less im-portant are the many rural dwellers who take their dogs along when hiking skiing and winter camping Itrsquos fair to say none of these folks wants their dog to be at risk of being killed in a trap

In recent years the Minnesota Trappers Association has run an advertisement in the state hunting regulations booklet showing how to remove an animal from a body-grip trap From my own experience us-ing body-grips I donrsquot believe the Average Joe or Jill would have the know-how or physical strength to quickly remove a

body-grip from their petHarberts says Dog Lovers 4 Safe Trapping

MN may have been stymied by the 2013 Leg-islature but they arenrsquot going away until dogs are safe from body-grip traps It wonrsquot be easy to change existing rules because trappers and wildlife bureaucrats are reluctant to give up body-grip trapping techniques that are effec-tive and convenient for trappers Harberts says his group and the Minnesota Trail Hound As-sociation continue to have cordial discussions with trappers on the issue but have made little progress toward resolution Until they do so more folks are likely to lose their hunting dogs and family pets

Killing 20 dogs in a year is unacceptable especially when nearly all of those losses are preventable Itrsquos time for the DNR to act like professional wildlife managers and address the issue The agencyrsquos goal should be to have zero dogs killed in body-grips The DNR needs to take the appropriate steps to achieve that goal through a combination of conflict resolution and new trapping rules While making chang-es to protect dogs may inconvenience trappers there doesnrsquot appear to be any evidence from Wisconsin or other states that doing so will have any effect on the fur harvest Itrsquos past time for Minnesota to make the changes necessary to protect dogs from body-grip traps

The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) has partnered with Sawtooth Mountain Clinic and the Grand Portage Band of Lake Superior Chippewa to conduct a study of 500 Cook County women of childbearing age to help determine why Cook County newborns exhibit high levels of mercury The study is funded by a grant from the Environmental Protection Agency

This new study comes on the heels of a 2007-2011 study of mercury levels in 1465 newborns in the Lake Superior Basin in which MDH participated along with the Wisconsin and Michi-gan departments of health That study found that 10 percent of newborns in the Minnesota region of the study have mercury levels above the EPArsquos safe level with a particularly high concen-tration of high mercury levels in Cook County newborns

Because developing nervous systems are particularly vulner-able to the harmful effects of mercury the MDH wanted to work with Cook County clinics to see if they could reduce newborn mercury levels said Pat McCann of the MDH who is the lead on the Cook County study Fetal exposure to methylmercury (the type of mercury found in fish) can lead to issues with cognition memory attention language and fine motor and visual spatial skills in children

ldquoOne good way to help with mercury levels is to work with health care providers since thatrsquos where women get most of their health informationrdquo said McCann

This new study will allow the MDH to do just that The exact role of Sawtooth Mountain Clinic and the Grand Portage band has not yet been exactly determined However McCann said the study will work to determine why Cook County newborns have high levels of mercury and work to better educate expectant mothers about which types of fish are safe to eat

McCann said they plan to begin enrolling Cook County women in the study in January 2014 and will continue to enroll women for about a year Women who qualify for the study will be asked to participate when they go in for a regularly scheduled appointment

At this point in the studyrsquos development McCann said she believes participants will be asked to complete a questionnaire about their fish-eating habits and also submit a blood sample The blood sample will be used to test participantsrsquo levels of mer-cury and Omega 3 fatty acids to help determine each partici-pantrsquos level of fish consumption

Ideally at the end of the study participantsrsquo blood sample will show a decrease in mercury But the same levels of the healthy Omega 3 fatty acids said McCann

Irsquove grown up in a society where technol-ogy is always evolving So knowing how to use a computer cell phone iPod or other electronic device has always seemed to come naturally Yet it can stump those de-cades older than me

While my dad can tear an airplane apart and put it back together figuring out how to make a cell phone call seems to be too dif-ficult for him let alone send a text message And even though my mom taught herself how to text she goes overboard and tries to shorten every word possible making it a game to try and decipher what shersquos really saying

Now being an English Major Irsquom pretty particular about my grammar but even I slip into a different lingo sometimes when texting If yoursquore going to keep up with young folks who can text an entire para-graph quicker than you can say ldquolaughing out loudrdquo then yoursquore going to have to know some basic texting terms

First off while most people know ldquololrdquo or ldquolaughing out loudrdquo there are many other variations of laughing You could be ldquoroflrdquo or ldquorolling on the floor laughingrdquo Or you could be ldquolmaordquo aka ldquolaughing my a off rdquo You could even combine the two for an epic ldquoroflmaordquo Another route would be to simply use haha or hehe Depending on how many harsquos or hersquos are used will determine the funny factor for the recipient so choose appropriately

Many words can be shortened to a single letter saving you precious texting time and letting you text much more rapidly Such words include ldquoyrdquo instead of ldquowhyrdquo ldquorrdquo vs ldquoarerdquo ldquocrdquo for ldquoseeseardquo ldquourdquo in place of ldquoyourdquo and many more Numbers can also be in-corporated into words like ldquob4rdquo instead of ldquobeforerdquo or ldquo2rdquo for ldquoto too and twordquo

Sometimes you want your texting conver-sation to be kept a secret Itrsquos those types of conversations that you become paranoid of people peaking over your shoulder If thatrsquos the case and someone is hovering just type ldquoposrdquo and your recipient should know that there is a parentperson over your shoulder and the conversation isnrsquot safe anymore

As for capitalizations commas and peri-ods when texting who cares Lowercase letters are the norm for texting and great punctuation isnrsquot expected although if used itrsquos always an improvement Just donrsquot use all uppercase letters or it is considered RUDE SHOUTING and nobody likes get-ting yelled at

Nowadays many people have smart phones allowing them to send emoticons for almost anything such as faces hearts hand gestures and more However the ba-sic self-typed happy and sad faces are still commonly used Send ) or ( to depict your emotions Turn your sad face into rsquo( to show your tears or turn that frown upside down with a cheesy wide smile such as D or P instead You can send a ) to wink at your texting buddy Feel like your faces are missing a nose Insert a hyphen to change your faces into -) or -D etc If you do have a smart phone then sending emoticons in

place of words is always an option Try play-ing different guessing games such as send-ing emoticons to represent song lyrics to stimulate hours of entertainment laughter and fun

The world of cell phones and texting is vir-tually unlimited Phrases faces games and abbreviations are always changing and ex-panding While it may seem impossible to

keep up follow these simple texting ldquorulesrdquo and you can do no wrong But beware you might just outdo the stereotypical teenager and become a texting fiend Irsquove already cre-ated monsters out of my parents although I suppose I should feel pretty lucky to have such ldquohip and cool parentsrdquo according to them So until next month ttyl and ttfn talk to you later and ta ta for now

omg Oh My Gosh o rly Oh Really omw On My Way hmu Hit Me Up tbh To Be Honest hbu How About You n2m Not Too Much jlmk Just Let Me Know wyw Whatever You Want brb Be Right Back nvm Nevermind np No Problem wth What the Heck jk Just Kidding idk or idc I donrsquot know or I donrsquot care

rial about fish consumption over the next few years as the MDH works to get women consuming fish with lower mercury levels

ldquoThere are lots of fish that women can eatrdquo she said McCann recommends women eat smaller fish and fish that are

lower on the food chain like pan fish and crappies Lake her-ring whitefish salmon and perch are also good low-mercury fish choices

To date the Minnesota Department of Health has only done mercury level studies in the Lake Superior basin so itrsquos un-known whether Cook Countyrsquos mercury levels are unusually high compared to the rest of the state said McCann April is Sexual Assault

18 NORTH SHORE HWY 61 APRIL 2013

By Joan Farnam

More than 35000 pounds of recycled materi-als are shipped out of the Cook County Recy-cling Center every week Last year alone 1029 tons or 21 million pounds of solid waste was collected there according to a report that was released last month

Thatrsquos a lot of recycled materials but is only one quarter of the solid waste Cook County generates every year

The recyclable materials are hauled to Har-telrsquosDBJ Disposal Companies in Proctor where they eventually end up in factories pa-per mills steel mills and other firms in Min-nesota across the country and the world to be reused or repurposed

The good news is that all that glass corrugat-ed cardboard newspaper magazines mixed paper steel cans aluminum mixed plastic and lead acid batteries are removed from the countyrsquos solid waste stream And the Recycling Center makes some money out of it

In all the recycling program brought in $48000 in 2012

More than half that revenue came from the Budget Shop ($27000) while aluminum cans accounted for another $18000 said Jeff Sylves-ter operatormanager of the Recycling Center

ldquoItrsquos nice to see a fiscal returnrdquo he said as he gave a tour of the facility recently

The price for recycled materials fluctuates with the stock market he said ldquoLike any com-modity it goes up and down When the econ-omy tanked in lsquo08 it wasnrsquot worth much The markets are improvingrdquo

Sylvester said the only thing thatrsquos not mak-ing much money is glass and used unwear-able clothing The brokerage fee that Hartelrsquos charges for handling glass ($35 a ton) pretty much cancels out what they can get for it he said and therersquos no market at all right now for used clothing

ldquoWe dumpster itrdquo he said ldquoBefore the reces-sion it went to the auto industry but we lost those markets Therersquos less need for it and wersquove not been able to find good viable buyersrdquo

The Recycling Center is looking forward to making more money this year It just started

working with Hartelrsquos in December and it has been profitable he said

When the Recycling Center was first started in 1988 the goal was to substantially reduce the solid waste that was being trucked to land-fills Businesses were encouraged to recycle as were homeowners and the program has met some of its goals

ldquoOur goal was to hit a 35 percent rate for homeownersrdquo he said and that was met last year

But more could be done he added ldquoEvery business recyclesrdquo he said ldquoThey pay by vol-ume so it behooves them to reducerdquo

Homeowners on the other hand can recycle for free but many just donrsquot bother

The figures reflect this In all Cook County generated 4900 tons of solid waste in 2012 and 3636 tons of that ended up in landfills

Curbside pickup of domestic recyclables just isnrsquot feasible he said ldquoThe county canrsquot afford itrdquo

Insteadthe program has set up five rural col-lection points to make recycling easier for both households and businesses

Three of the five rural stations are specifically for businesses to use Collection stations up the Sawbill Trail in Tofte near the old airport and the one in Grand Portage are open for house-hold use as well The Grand Portage site also handles business waste including cardboard he said

ldquoGrand Portage is also paying to pull the trailer They bring it in to usrdquo he said ldquoTheyrsquore good stewards of what theyrsquore doing Their green trailer is always impeccably cared for seldom is anything in the wrong placerdquo

Quality recyclables have to be properly sorted and this requires a lot of hand labor Sylvester said which is the primary reason why the re-cycling center is not open to the public all day every day

The employees need time to sort and bale whatrsquos coming in every day he said The cen-ter has four full-time employees and one has to staff the Budget Shop for half a day so ev-erybody is scrambling to get things ready for shipment in the mornings he said

Typically they will fill a 53-foot tractor-trailer

with material every weekOne of the most time-consuming to pro-

cess and ironically one of the most prof-itable recyclables is mixed paper he said One thing homeowners are encouraged to do is recycle their junk mail and good quality paper because it brings a good price and shouldnrsquot be taking up room in a landfill

Last year 938 tons of mixed paper was generated in the county and only 37 per-cent of that was recycled Sylvester recom-mends that personal documents be shred-ded but all other mixed paper is welcome

Because the recycling program is focused on reducing all solid waste as well as being good stewards of the environment it also has organized hazardous waste and elec-tronic waste collections twice a year takes used oil and oil filters as well as lead batter-ies and purchases aluminum cans at $20 a pound from 1-230 pm each day It also takes yard waste

It does not accept furniture appliances or mattresses These can be disposed of for a fee at Petersonrsquos Disposal

The Recycling Center is open from 11 am to 4 pm Monday through Wednesday and on Friday 11 am to 6 pm Thursday and 9 am to 1 pm Saturday

Sylvester said that his personal goal is to increase homeowner participation in the re-

cycling program to 50 percent Recycling is easy he said ldquoItrsquos free itrsquos the right thing to do and itrsquos environmentally responsible We hope people will start recycling morerdquo

Cook County recycles tons of stuff

The Cook County Recycling Center trucks about 35000 pounds of recyclables every week to its broker in Proctor Manageroperator Jeff Sylvester is in one of the semi-trailers thatrsquos almost ready to go Photos by Joan Farnam

Jessica Berg-Collman is an extraordi-nary girl She is 16-years old a junior in high school and has already accomplished a great deal and set many records Shersquos also no stranger to recognition Jessica is a professional log-roller money raising musher and shot put thrower in track and field

Jessica began dog sledding at age 10 after going on a ride with Mark and Mary Black She caught on quickly Jessica also gives credit to Frank and Sherri Moe for sparking her interest in dogsledding

She ran her first sled dog race at age 11 in Mush for a Cure an annual 25-mile race that raises money for breast cancer re-search Jessica has now raced in Mush for a Cure six times and always dedicates her run to someone who has been affected by breast cancer This year she decided to recognize Pam Taylor and she raised $2700 Along with the personal satisfac-tion she also won an award for being the first team off the lake and she only had six dogs

Jessica and her mother Julie Collman also volunteer for the Beargrease Sled Dog Race each year However Jessica seemed hesitant about racing the Beargrease herself

ldquoI donrsquot know Irsquom not sure if Irsquod want to ever do Beargrease Maybe someday I guess but I think Irsquoll stick with Mush for a Cure right nowrdquo she says ldquoI just love rais-ing the money and helping outrdquo

At age 10 Jessica also started taking log-rolling classes from Jenny Atkinson Jessica proved to be very talented and has made it to the Lumberjack World Championships in Hayward Wis Last year she placed first and was able to turn professional She has also competed in the Minnesota State Championships and came in fourth out of 12 To show off her skills she will be performing three shows a day at this yearrsquos Fishermanrsquos Picnic with Jenny Atkinson She will also be compet-ing in the chainsaw competition

When asked about any current events planned or goals she was working on she replied ldquoWell I am 16 so Irsquod like to get my own car to driverdquo A perfectly acceptable and humbling an-swer for someone with so many amazing achievements

Along with her success in dogsledding and logrolling Jessica is also a volleyball player and throws shot put for track and field She started shot put in ninth grade and by 10th grade she made it to Sections Shersquos hoping to make it farther this year

Jessica isnrsquot exactly sure what she wants to do after gradua-tion or where she wants to go But no matter what she choos-es to do we can definitely ex-pect great things from her

ldquoMy dream is to teach differ-ent countries logrolling That way it can someday be in the Olympicsrdquo she says ldquoI want to coach it I mean if speed-walking can be an Olympic sport then logrolling should be toordquo

Preparing for Broadband

By Jim Boyd

The words ldquoteleworkrdquo and ldquotelecommuterdquo donrsquot trip lightly off the tongue Mention them and you likely will get a vacant look in response Thatrsquos because they donrsquot tell you what someone does just how they do it by remote computer connection

And yet the two words may together capture Cook Countyrsquos greatest hope for sustainable low-impact economic development especially de-velopment that makes it possible for more young families to put down roots here

Linda Luebchow knows all about telework Itrsquos what she does every day from the small office she rents at Cook County Higher Educationrsquos North Shore Campus Luebchow works for the immunization registry at the Minnesota Department of Health

When Luebchowrsquos husband retired from his teaching position several years ago the couple moved permanently to their home near Paradise Beach east of Grand Marais

ldquoIf it hadnrsquot been for this (teleworking arrangement)rdquo Luebchow says ldquoI would have had to retire too And I didnrsquot want to do thatrdquo

Luebchow is an ardent advocate for the benefits telework promises Cook County especially once Arrowhead Electricrsquos fiber-optic broad-band network is complete Then everyone on the countyrsquos electrical grid will have the ability to work via computer from home Until then most telework is limited to Grand Marais and a few CenturyLink DSL nodes Thatrsquos why Luebchow rents space from Higher Ed

Itrsquos Already HereIn 2010 there were 140 residents of Cook County who worked for em-

ployers in Duluth the Twin Cities Grand Rapids and other cities ac-cording to the US Census Many perhaps most of them telecommute ndash connecting with their employers via computer connections

ldquoTelecommutingrdquo comes in many flavors At one end of the spectrum it can involve employees working on their own and connecting occa-sionally via email or Skype At the other end it involves someone mak-ing a daily connection between their computer and their company net-work located elsewhere

The latter workers tend to connect via something called a ldquovirtual pri-vate networkrdquo or VPN With a VPN connection itrsquos as if remote work-ers were actually in the company office

VPN connections and dial-up or satellite Internet get along about as well as a Model A and a trip to the moon They donrsquot

That said some telecommuters are doing amazing things from Cook County already designing software writing technical manuals editing books selling real estate managing nonprofits working as chemists and physicistsand project managers

A recent informal survey of county telecommuters also elicited a num-ber of comments from people who a) live in the Twin Cities now tele-commute to jobs elsewhere in the Twin Cities and are eager to move that work to Cook County or b) work elsewhere but plan to begin telecom-

muting and move to Cook County once Arrowhead inaugurates broad-band service

From this anecdotal information it seems clear that Cook County will get a substantial economic and population boost from the advent of Ar-rowhead broadband This will happen without much effort beyond Ar-rowhead lighting up its fiber-optic network A much more determined effort will be required to create telework opportunities for young people just starting out especially those who have no skills that lend them-selves to telework

Making It HappenJulie May manages work-at-home programs for UnitedHealthCare

in the Twin Cities Shersquos responsible for 10000 teleworkers including 3000 in Minnesota ndash most of whom do not live in the Twin Cities

Creating a strong community telework environment May says should involve local government people responsible for local economic devel-opment educational institutions and broadband providers She lists three primary responsibilities

Marketing yourself as a teleworker-friendly community to those who would like to live on the North Shore and who may not know telework is possible from here

Making connections with area community colleges to ensure training is available for local residents in career areas easily adaptable to tele-work In the absence of a local community college this chore falls to Cook County Higher Education CCHE executive director Paula Sundet Wolf is aware of and exploring this need

Developing and marketing a broadband telework package to potential telework employers This May says involves the local telcoms (Cen-turyLink and Arrowhead Electric) creating service packages that best meet telework requirements (She recommends 15 Mbps download and 2 Mbps upload Asymmetrical service is best she says) setting an attrac-tive price for the service and developing the resources to provide same-day service responses when problems inevitably arise Before employers seriously will consider hiring teleworkers May says they must be as-sured of stable connections stable pricing and quick service-response times

Some time ago UnitedHealthCare created a customer-service call cen-ter in a remote Texas community where job opportunities were minimal They only pay $8-$15 per hour But the work is full-time year-round and provides vacation health-care and other benefits From the perspective of Cook County workers surviving on part-time seasonal jobs paying the same wage those UnitedHealthCare jobs would look pretty good

A strange sad irony of this legislative session is that efforts to save wolves from hunting may lead to the deaths of some dogs by trapping Efforts to revisit the regulations regarding the use of body-grip traps which critics say are responsible for killing several dogs every year in Minnesota have been stymied by legislators who say they will not introduce any trapping bills in 2013 for fear that anti-wolf hunting measures may be attached to them

The issue of body-grip traps and dogs is not new For years dog owners have complained often after losing a pet about the le-thal consequences of a dog being inadvertently caught in a body-grip trap which is designed to kill quickly The dog owner may have even been there when the incident occurred but lacked the ability to remove the trap before it killed the dog The Minne-sota DNR has always acknowledged such incidents occur but essentially brushes them off as insignificant on a statewide basis

But dog deaths suddenly became significant a couple of years ago when a handful of dog owners most of whom had lost dogs in body-grip traps decided to do something about the issue They formed a group Dog Lovers 4 Safe Trapping to push for reform of the rules for using body-grip traps Most of the mem-bers are the owners of hunting dogs They emphasize that while they are seeking changes to trapping rules they are not opposed to trapping

ldquoOur group tries very hard to distance ourselves from anti trap-ping and hunting organizationsrdquo says Dog Lovers 4 Safe Trap-ping MN board member and hunter Brett Harberts of Emily

Unlike foothold traps which are designed to capture and hold an animal by its foot body-grips are intended to kill an animal quickly by closing on its neck They are also commonly called ldquoConibearrdquo traps after inventor Frank Conibear While they come in sizes small enough for muskrats to large enough for beavers the mid-sized traps sizes 160 and 220 are of greatest concern to dog owners In Minnesota both traps may be set on the ground either in a baited set or as unbaited set along a trail The beaver-sized 330 body-grip must be at least half-submerged in water which makes it much less likely to inadvertently cap-ture dogs or other unintended animals

Last year the Legislature tweaked body-grip rules so that 160s and 220s used in baited sets must be recessed seven inches from the top of an enclosure or placed at least three feet off the ground Unbaited body-grips must be at least 20 feet from any attractant These statewide rules are significantly less restrictive than rules put in place several years ago to protect the federally threatened Canada lynx in northeastern Minnesota According to the lynx rules any 160 or 220 placed on the ground must be set in a cubby with the trap a minimum of seven inches from the opening The opening may not exceed 50 square inches which is a 7- by 7-inch square Unbaited trail sets are not allowed

Here in the northeast Irsquove heard few if any reports of dogs

being killed in body-grips since the lynx rules were adopted The same cannot be said of the statewide rule The Dog Lovers 4 Safe Trapping MN website notes the organization documented 13 dogs killed between Oct 20 and Dec 31 2012 the first trap-ping season for which the new statewide rules were in effect An additional 7 dogs were killed between Jan 1 and Mar 15 2012 before the rules were enacted This means a total of 20 dogs were killed by traps in Minnesota during 2012

Harberts says in contrast Wisconsin has reported very few dog deaths due to body-grips since changing its trapping rules in the

Spring forward with Lutsen Resortrsquos ldquoSpring Food amp Wine Weekendrdquo April 5-6 and savor the early harvest

This outstanding culinary event one of two exciting wine dinners held in the county each spring will highlight the harvest at this time of year said Rob Wells executive chef at Lutsen Resort

Wells and guest chef Mike DeCamp chef de cuisine at La Belle Vie in Minneapolis are working together to create a truly won-derful food experi-ence with the fresh-est ingredients of the season

Think lamb and leeks newly harvested greens wild mush-rooms and spring onions and then sit back and let the chefs decide how to create with them

Thatrsquos about how this food and wine week-end has evolved Wells said

ldquoWe came up with the basic idea ndash spring harvestrdquo he said ldquoThings are just coming into season right now and that focuses us on what we want to dordquo

The two chefs decided they would work to-gether to create tasty hors drsquooeuvres for the re-ception and wine tasting on Friday night and then alternate courses for the formal 6-course dinner with wine pairings on Saturday night

DeCamp who is an award-winning chef and a finalist in the James Beard national chef con-test this year for Best Chef-Midwest will do the first third and fifth courses Wells will do the second fourth and dessert

ldquoFor the second course ndash salads and soups

ndash leeks popped into my mind immediatelyrdquo Wells said ldquoTheyrsquore coming out of the ground right now ndash so leek souprdquo

Early vegetables like pea shoots and wild mushrooms were a natural for his fourth course and dessert includes mint a reliable early spring taste

The other half of dinner is the wine pairings that will complement and expand the food

experienceAndrew Beavers

wine and beverage manager at Lutsen Resort was given the menu and began re-searching what wines would be spectacular with these foods

Beavers said he de-cided to go with Or-egon wines for the six-course meal

ldquoI had a taste of the Oregon wine portfo-lio and it was wonder-fulrdquo he said ldquoItrsquos such a great region for this time of year The food is going to be spring and the dishes will be light I think these wines will play well with thatrdquo

Beavers said the Friday evening hors-

drsquooeuvres event will feature ldquoreally nice high-end hors drsquooeuvres and wersquoll taste from four to six wines Itrsquos more of a causal open feelrdquo

The Saturday night event is formalldquoI give a brief description of each wine before

the pairingrdquo he said ldquoThen the chef will come out and speak about what they did with a par-ticular course Itrsquos really funrdquo

The wines he chooses are not typically avail-able at a neighborhood beer store but larger wine shops will carry them and they can be found online he said

ldquoWhat I really focus on when Irsquom trying to put

this together is getting wines that people donrsquot have in their house We want it to be special ndash evocative of a wine tasting very experientialrdquo

Guests are welcome to stay at the resort for the weekend so they donrsquot have to drive Wells said

ldquoWe encourage people to stay We do shuttles for people And we generally do these dinners on nights when we are slower so there are plen-ty of rooms availablerdquo

People come year after year for the event he said

ldquoThey come to Lutsen and have a really nice wine dinner and make a vacation out of itrdquo

Bluefin By Resort also will hold a Food amp Wine Lovers Weekend May 3-4 featuring Chef Judi Barsness The event will feature a four-course dinner with wine pairings on Friday night a wine tasting on Saturday af-ternoon and a five-course dinner with wine pairings on Saturday night

late 1990s At the time Wisconsin was among several states that modified trapping rules fol-lowing the national development of Best Man-agement Practices (BMPs) for trapping Min-nesota chose not to incorporate BMPs into its trapping regulations In fact aside the statersquos trapping regulations have been largely un-changed for decades

The same could be said of the mindset of the statersquos wildlife bureaucracy and state trapping leaders both of whom have been reluctant to take the concerns of dog owners seriously per-haps from a fear that by doing so they would be taking a step down a slippery slope toward and eventual all-out trapping ban

The problem is Minnesota has changed In 1980 Minnesotarsquos population was just over 4 million In 2012 the population was estimated at nearly 54 million During that time frame wersquove seen a tremendous outmigration to rural areas especially in the lakes region by people seeking a better quality of life Very often that quality of life involves spending more time outdoors Trappers are no longer alone They are now joined by bird hunters using pointers and retrievers hounds used to pursue raccoons coyotes rabbits and other critters No less im-portant are the many rural dwellers who take their dogs along when hiking skiing and winter camping Itrsquos fair to say none of these folks wants their dog to be at risk of being killed in a trap

In recent years the Minnesota Trappers Association has run an advertisement in the state hunting regulations booklet showing how to remove an animal from a body-grip trap From my own experience us-ing body-grips I donrsquot believe the Average Joe or Jill would have the know-how or physical strength to quickly remove a

body-grip from their petHarberts says Dog Lovers 4 Safe Trapping

MN may have been stymied by the 2013 Leg-islature but they arenrsquot going away until dogs are safe from body-grip traps It wonrsquot be easy to change existing rules because trappers and wildlife bureaucrats are reluctant to give up body-grip trapping techniques that are effec-tive and convenient for trappers Harberts says his group and the Minnesota Trail Hound As-sociation continue to have cordial discussions with trappers on the issue but have made little progress toward resolution Until they do so more folks are likely to lose their hunting dogs and family pets

Killing 20 dogs in a year is unacceptable especially when nearly all of those losses are preventable Itrsquos time for the DNR to act like professional wildlife managers and address the issue The agencyrsquos goal should be to have zero dogs killed in body-grips The DNR needs to take the appropriate steps to achieve that goal through a combination of conflict resolution and new trapping rules While making chang-es to protect dogs may inconvenience trappers there doesnrsquot appear to be any evidence from Wisconsin or other states that doing so will have any effect on the fur harvest Itrsquos past time for Minnesota to make the changes necessary to protect dogs from body-grip traps

The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) has partnered with Sawtooth Mountain Clinic and the Grand Portage Band of Lake Superior Chippewa to conduct a study of 500 Cook County women of childbearing age to help determine why Cook County newborns exhibit high levels of mercury The study is funded by a grant from the Environmental Protection Agency

This new study comes on the heels of a 2007-2011 study of mercury levels in 1465 newborns in the Lake Superior Basin in which MDH participated along with the Wisconsin and Michi-gan departments of health That study found that 10 percent of newborns in the Minnesota region of the study have mercury levels above the EPArsquos safe level with a particularly high concen-tration of high mercury levels in Cook County newborns

Because developing nervous systems are particularly vulner-able to the harmful effects of mercury the MDH wanted to work with Cook County clinics to see if they could reduce newborn mercury levels said Pat McCann of the MDH who is the lead on the Cook County study Fetal exposure to methylmercury (the type of mercury found in fish) can lead to issues with cognition memory attention language and fine motor and visual spatial skills in children

ldquoOne good way to help with mercury levels is to work with health care providers since thatrsquos where women get most of their health informationrdquo said McCann

This new study will allow the MDH to do just that The exact role of Sawtooth Mountain Clinic and the Grand Portage band has not yet been exactly determined However McCann said the study will work to determine why Cook County newborns have high levels of mercury and work to better educate expectant mothers about which types of fish are safe to eat

McCann said they plan to begin enrolling Cook County women in the study in January 2014 and will continue to enroll women for about a year Women who qualify for the study will be asked to participate when they go in for a regularly scheduled appointment

At this point in the studyrsquos development McCann said she believes participants will be asked to complete a questionnaire about their fish-eating habits and also submit a blood sample The blood sample will be used to test participantsrsquo levels of mer-cury and Omega 3 fatty acids to help determine each partici-pantrsquos level of fish consumption

Ideally at the end of the study participantsrsquo blood sample will show a decrease in mercury But the same levels of the healthy Omega 3 fatty acids said McCann

Irsquove grown up in a society where technol-ogy is always evolving So knowing how to use a computer cell phone iPod or other electronic device has always seemed to come naturally Yet it can stump those de-cades older than me

While my dad can tear an airplane apart and put it back together figuring out how to make a cell phone call seems to be too dif-ficult for him let alone send a text message And even though my mom taught herself how to text she goes overboard and tries to shorten every word possible making it a game to try and decipher what shersquos really saying

Now being an English Major Irsquom pretty particular about my grammar but even I slip into a different lingo sometimes when texting If yoursquore going to keep up with young folks who can text an entire para-graph quicker than you can say ldquolaughing out loudrdquo then yoursquore going to have to know some basic texting terms

First off while most people know ldquololrdquo or ldquolaughing out loudrdquo there are many other variations of laughing You could be ldquoroflrdquo or ldquorolling on the floor laughingrdquo Or you could be ldquolmaordquo aka ldquolaughing my a off rdquo You could even combine the two for an epic ldquoroflmaordquo Another route would be to simply use haha or hehe Depending on how many harsquos or hersquos are used will determine the funny factor for the recipient so choose appropriately

Many words can be shortened to a single letter saving you precious texting time and letting you text much more rapidly Such words include ldquoyrdquo instead of ldquowhyrdquo ldquorrdquo vs ldquoarerdquo ldquocrdquo for ldquoseeseardquo ldquourdquo in place of ldquoyourdquo and many more Numbers can also be in-corporated into words like ldquob4rdquo instead of ldquobeforerdquo or ldquo2rdquo for ldquoto too and twordquo

Sometimes you want your texting conver-sation to be kept a secret Itrsquos those types of conversations that you become paranoid of people peaking over your shoulder If thatrsquos the case and someone is hovering just type ldquoposrdquo and your recipient should know that there is a parentperson over your shoulder and the conversation isnrsquot safe anymore

As for capitalizations commas and peri-ods when texting who cares Lowercase letters are the norm for texting and great punctuation isnrsquot expected although if used itrsquos always an improvement Just donrsquot use all uppercase letters or it is considered RUDE SHOUTING and nobody likes get-ting yelled at

Nowadays many people have smart phones allowing them to send emoticons for almost anything such as faces hearts hand gestures and more However the ba-sic self-typed happy and sad faces are still commonly used Send ) or ( to depict your emotions Turn your sad face into rsquo( to show your tears or turn that frown upside down with a cheesy wide smile such as D or P instead You can send a ) to wink at your texting buddy Feel like your faces are missing a nose Insert a hyphen to change your faces into -) or -D etc If you do have a smart phone then sending emoticons in

place of words is always an option Try play-ing different guessing games such as send-ing emoticons to represent song lyrics to stimulate hours of entertainment laughter and fun

The world of cell phones and texting is vir-tually unlimited Phrases faces games and abbreviations are always changing and ex-panding While it may seem impossible to

keep up follow these simple texting ldquorulesrdquo and you can do no wrong But beware you might just outdo the stereotypical teenager and become a texting fiend Irsquove already cre-ated monsters out of my parents although I suppose I should feel pretty lucky to have such ldquohip and cool parentsrdquo according to them So until next month ttyl and ttfn talk to you later and ta ta for now

omg Oh My Gosh o rly Oh Really omw On My Way hmu Hit Me Up tbh To Be Honest hbu How About You n2m Not Too Much jlmk Just Let Me Know wyw Whatever You Want brb Be Right Back nvm Nevermind np No Problem wth What the Heck jk Just Kidding idk or idc I donrsquot know or I donrsquot care

rial about fish consumption over the next few years as the MDH works to get women consuming fish with lower mercury levels

ldquoThere are lots of fish that women can eatrdquo she said McCann recommends women eat smaller fish and fish that are

lower on the food chain like pan fish and crappies Lake her-ring whitefish salmon and perch are also good low-mercury fish choices

To date the Minnesota Department of Health has only done mercury level studies in the Lake Superior basin so itrsquos un-known whether Cook Countyrsquos mercury levels are unusually high compared to the rest of the state said McCann April is Sexual Assault

18 NORTH SHORE HWY 61 APRIL 2013

By Joan Farnam

More than 35000 pounds of recycled materi-als are shipped out of the Cook County Recy-cling Center every week Last year alone 1029 tons or 21 million pounds of solid waste was collected there according to a report that was released last month

Thatrsquos a lot of recycled materials but is only one quarter of the solid waste Cook County generates every year

The recyclable materials are hauled to Har-telrsquosDBJ Disposal Companies in Proctor where they eventually end up in factories pa-per mills steel mills and other firms in Min-nesota across the country and the world to be reused or repurposed

The good news is that all that glass corrugat-ed cardboard newspaper magazines mixed paper steel cans aluminum mixed plastic and lead acid batteries are removed from the countyrsquos solid waste stream And the Recycling Center makes some money out of it

In all the recycling program brought in $48000 in 2012

More than half that revenue came from the Budget Shop ($27000) while aluminum cans accounted for another $18000 said Jeff Sylves-ter operatormanager of the Recycling Center

ldquoItrsquos nice to see a fiscal returnrdquo he said as he gave a tour of the facility recently

The price for recycled materials fluctuates with the stock market he said ldquoLike any com-modity it goes up and down When the econ-omy tanked in lsquo08 it wasnrsquot worth much The markets are improvingrdquo

Sylvester said the only thing thatrsquos not mak-ing much money is glass and used unwear-able clothing The brokerage fee that Hartelrsquos charges for handling glass ($35 a ton) pretty much cancels out what they can get for it he said and therersquos no market at all right now for used clothing

ldquoWe dumpster itrdquo he said ldquoBefore the reces-sion it went to the auto industry but we lost those markets Therersquos less need for it and wersquove not been able to find good viable buyersrdquo

The Recycling Center is looking forward to making more money this year It just started

working with Hartelrsquos in December and it has been profitable he said

When the Recycling Center was first started in 1988 the goal was to substantially reduce the solid waste that was being trucked to land-fills Businesses were encouraged to recycle as were homeowners and the program has met some of its goals

ldquoOur goal was to hit a 35 percent rate for homeownersrdquo he said and that was met last year

But more could be done he added ldquoEvery business recyclesrdquo he said ldquoThey pay by vol-ume so it behooves them to reducerdquo

Homeowners on the other hand can recycle for free but many just donrsquot bother

The figures reflect this In all Cook County generated 4900 tons of solid waste in 2012 and 3636 tons of that ended up in landfills

Curbside pickup of domestic recyclables just isnrsquot feasible he said ldquoThe county canrsquot afford itrdquo

Insteadthe program has set up five rural col-lection points to make recycling easier for both households and businesses

Three of the five rural stations are specifically for businesses to use Collection stations up the Sawbill Trail in Tofte near the old airport and the one in Grand Portage are open for house-hold use as well The Grand Portage site also handles business waste including cardboard he said

ldquoGrand Portage is also paying to pull the trailer They bring it in to usrdquo he said ldquoTheyrsquore good stewards of what theyrsquore doing Their green trailer is always impeccably cared for seldom is anything in the wrong placerdquo

Quality recyclables have to be properly sorted and this requires a lot of hand labor Sylvester said which is the primary reason why the re-cycling center is not open to the public all day every day

The employees need time to sort and bale whatrsquos coming in every day he said The cen-ter has four full-time employees and one has to staff the Budget Shop for half a day so ev-erybody is scrambling to get things ready for shipment in the mornings he said

Typically they will fill a 53-foot tractor-trailer

with material every weekOne of the most time-consuming to pro-

cess and ironically one of the most prof-itable recyclables is mixed paper he said One thing homeowners are encouraged to do is recycle their junk mail and good quality paper because it brings a good price and shouldnrsquot be taking up room in a landfill

Last year 938 tons of mixed paper was generated in the county and only 37 per-cent of that was recycled Sylvester recom-mends that personal documents be shred-ded but all other mixed paper is welcome

Because the recycling program is focused on reducing all solid waste as well as being good stewards of the environment it also has organized hazardous waste and elec-tronic waste collections twice a year takes used oil and oil filters as well as lead batter-ies and purchases aluminum cans at $20 a pound from 1-230 pm each day It also takes yard waste

It does not accept furniture appliances or mattresses These can be disposed of for a fee at Petersonrsquos Disposal

The Recycling Center is open from 11 am to 4 pm Monday through Wednesday and on Friday 11 am to 6 pm Thursday and 9 am to 1 pm Saturday

Sylvester said that his personal goal is to increase homeowner participation in the re-

cycling program to 50 percent Recycling is easy he said ldquoItrsquos free itrsquos the right thing to do and itrsquos environmentally responsible We hope people will start recycling morerdquo

Cook County recycles tons of stuff

The Cook County Recycling Center trucks about 35000 pounds of recyclables every week to its broker in Proctor Manageroperator Jeff Sylvester is in one of the semi-trailers thatrsquos almost ready to go Photos by Joan Farnam

By Breana Roy

Jessica Berg-Collman is an extraordi-nary girl She is 16-years old a junior in high school and has already accomplished a great deal and set many records Shersquos also no stranger to recognition Jessica is a professional log-roller money raising musher and shot put thrower in track and field

Jessica began dog sledding at age 10 after going on a ride with Mark and Mary Black She caught on quickly Jessica also gives credit to Frank and Sherri Moe for sparking her interest in dogsledding

She ran her first sled dog race at age 11 in Mush for a Cure an annual 25-mile race that raises money for breast cancer re-search Jessica has now raced in Mush for a Cure six times and always dedicates her run to someone who has been affected by breast cancer This year she decided to recognize Pam Taylor and she raised $2700 Along with the personal satisfac-tion she also won an award for being the first team off the lake and she only had six dogs

Jessica and her mother Julie Collman also volunteer for the Beargrease Sled Dog Race each year However Jessica seemed hesitant about racing the Beargrease herself

ldquoI donrsquot know Irsquom not sure if Irsquod want to ever do Beargrease Maybe someday I guess but I think Irsquoll stick with Mush for a Cure right nowrdquo she says ldquoI just love rais-ing the money and helping outrdquo

At age 10 Jessica also started taking log-rolling classes from Jenny Atkinson Jessica proved to be very talented and has made it to the Lumberjack World Championships in Hayward Wis Last year she placed first and was able to turn professional She has also competed in the Minnesota State Championships and came in fourth out of 12 To show off her skills she will be performing three shows a day at this yearrsquos Fishermanrsquos Picnic with Jenny Atkinson She will also be compet-ing in the chainsaw competition

When asked about any current events planned or goals she was working on she replied ldquoWell I am 16 so Irsquod like to get my own car to driverdquo A perfectly acceptable and humbling an-swer for someone with so many amazing achievements

Along with her success in dogsledding and logrolling Jessica is also a volleyball player and throws shot put for track and field She started shot put in ninth grade and by 10th grade she made it to Sections Shersquos hoping to make it farther this year

Preparing for Broadband

By Jim Boyd

The words ldquoteleworkrdquo and ldquotelecommuterdquo donrsquot trip lightly off the tongue Mention them and you likely will get a vacant look in response Thatrsquos because they donrsquot tell you what someone does just how they do it by remote computer connection

And yet the two words may together capture Cook Countyrsquos greatest hope for sustainable low-impact economic development especially de-velopment that makes it possible for more young families to put down roots here

Linda Luebchow knows all about telework Itrsquos what she does every day from the small office she rents at Cook County Higher Educationrsquos North Shore Campus Luebchow works for the immunization registry at the Minnesota Department of Health

When Luebchowrsquos husband retired from his teaching position several years ago the couple moved permanently to their home near Paradise Beach east of Grand Marais

ldquoIf it hadnrsquot been for this (teleworking arrangement)rdquo Luebchow says ldquoI would have had to retire too And I didnrsquot want to do thatrdquo

Luebchow is an ardent advocate for the benefits telework promises Cook County especially once Arrowhead Electricrsquos fiber-optic broad-band network is complete Then everyone on the countyrsquos electrical grid will have the ability to work via computer from home Until then most telework is limited to Grand Marais and a few CenturyLink DSL nodes Thatrsquos why Luebchow rents space from Higher Ed

Itrsquos Already HereIn 2010 there were 140 residents of Cook County who worked for em-

ployers in Duluth the Twin Cities Grand Rapids and other cities ac-cording to the US Census Many perhaps most of them telecommute ndash connecting with their employers via computer connections

ldquoTelecommutingrdquo comes in many flavors At one end of the spectrum it can involve employees working on their own and connecting occa-sionally via email or Skype At the other end it involves someone mak-ing a daily connection between their computer and their company net-work located elsewhere

The latter workers tend to connect via something called a ldquovirtual pri-vate networkrdquo or VPN With a VPN connection itrsquos as if remote work-ers were actually in the company office

VPN connections and dial-up or satellite Internet get along about as well as a Model A and a trip to the moon They donrsquot

That said some telecommuters are doing amazing things from Cook County already designing software writing technical manuals editing books selling real estate managing nonprofits working as chemists and physicistsand project managers

A recent informal survey of county telecommuters also elicited a num-ber of comments from people who a) live in the Twin Cities now tele-commute to jobs elsewhere in the Twin Cities and are eager to move that work to Cook County or b) work elsewhere but plan to begin telecom-

muting and move to Cook County once Arrowhead inaugurates broad-band service

From this anecdotal information it seems clear that Cook County will get a substantial economic and population boost from the advent of Ar-rowhead broadband This will happen without much effort beyond Ar-rowhead lighting up its fiber-optic network A much more determined effort will be required to create telework opportunities for young people just starting out especially those who have no skills that lend them-selves to telework

Making It HappenJulie May manages work-at-home programs for UnitedHealthCare

in the Twin Cities Shersquos responsible for 10000 teleworkers including 3000 in Minnesota ndash most of whom do not live in the Twin Cities

Creating a strong community telework environment May says should involve local government people responsible for local economic devel-opment educational institutions and broadband providers She lists three primary responsibilities

Marketing yourself as a teleworker-friendly community to those who would like to live on the North Shore and who may not know telework is possible from here

Making connections with area community colleges to ensure training is available for local residents in career areas easily adaptable to tele-work In the absence of a local community college this chore falls to Cook County Higher Education CCHE executive director Paula Sundet Wolf is aware of and exploring this need

Developing and marketing a broadband telework package to potential telework employers This May says involves the local telcoms (Cen-turyLink and Arrowhead Electric) creating service packages that best meet telework requirements (She recommends 15 Mbps download and 2 Mbps upload Asymmetrical service is best she says) setting an attrac-tive price for the service and developing the resources to provide same-day service responses when problems inevitably arise Before employers seriously will consider hiring teleworkers May says they must be as-sured of stable connections stable pricing and quick service-response times

Some time ago UnitedHealthCare created a customer-service call cen-ter in a remote Texas community where job opportunities were minimal They only pay $8-$15 per hour But the work is full-time year-round and provides vacation health-care and other benefits From the perspective of Cook County workers surviving on part-time seasonal jobs paying the same wage those UnitedHealthCare jobs would look pretty good

A strange sad irony of this legislative session is that efforts to save wolves from hunting may lead to the deaths of some dogs by trapping Efforts to revisit the regulations regarding the use of body-grip traps which critics say are responsible for killing several dogs every year in Minnesota have been stymied by legislators who say they will not introduce any trapping bills in 2013 for fear that anti-wolf hunting measures may be attached to them

The issue of body-grip traps and dogs is not new For years dog owners have complained often after losing a pet about the le-thal consequences of a dog being inadvertently caught in a body-grip trap which is designed to kill quickly The dog owner may have even been there when the incident occurred but lacked the ability to remove the trap before it killed the dog The Minne-sota DNR has always acknowledged such incidents occur but essentially brushes them off as insignificant on a statewide basis

But dog deaths suddenly became significant a couple of years ago when a handful of dog owners most of whom had lost dogs in body-grip traps decided to do something about the issue They formed a group Dog Lovers 4 Safe Trapping to push for reform of the rules for using body-grip traps Most of the mem-bers are the owners of hunting dogs They emphasize that while they are seeking changes to trapping rules they are not opposed to trapping

ldquoOur group tries very hard to distance ourselves from anti trap-ping and hunting organizationsrdquo says Dog Lovers 4 Safe Trap-ping MN board member and hunter Brett Harberts of Emily

Unlike foothold traps which are designed to capture and hold an animal by its foot body-grips are intended to kill an animal quickly by closing on its neck They are also commonly called ldquoConibearrdquo traps after inventor Frank Conibear While they come in sizes small enough for muskrats to large enough for beavers the mid-sized traps sizes 160 and 220 are of greatest concern to dog owners In Minnesota both traps may be set on the ground either in a baited set or as unbaited set along a trail The beaver-sized 330 body-grip must be at least half-submerged in water which makes it much less likely to inadvertently cap-ture dogs or other unintended animals

Last year the Legislature tweaked body-grip rules so that 160s and 220s used in baited sets must be recessed seven inches from the top of an enclosure or placed at least three feet off the ground Unbaited body-grips must be at least 20 feet from any attractant These statewide rules are significantly less restrictive than rules put in place several years ago to protect the federally threatened Canada lynx in northeastern Minnesota According to the lynx rules any 160 or 220 placed on the ground must be set in a cubby with the trap a minimum of seven inches from the opening The opening may not exceed 50 square inches which is a 7- by 7-inch square Unbaited trail sets are not allowed

Here in the northeast Irsquove heard few if any reports of dogs

being killed in body-grips since the lynx rules were adopted The same cannot be said of the statewide rule The Dog Lovers 4 Safe Trapping MN website notes the organization documented 13 dogs killed between Oct 20 and Dec 31 2012 the first trap-ping season for which the new statewide rules were in effect An additional 7 dogs were killed between Jan 1 and Mar 15 2012 before the rules were enacted This means a total of 20 dogs were killed by traps in Minnesota during 2012

Harberts says in contrast Wisconsin has reported very few dog deaths due to body-grips since changing its trapping rules in the

Spring forward with Lutsen Resortrsquos ldquoSpring Food amp Wine Weekendrdquo April 5-6 and savor the early harvest

This outstanding culinary event one of two exciting wine dinners held in the county each spring will highlight the harvest at this time of year said Rob Wells executive chef at Lutsen Resort

Wells and guest chef Mike DeCamp chef de cuisine at La Belle Vie in Minneapolis are working together to create a truly won-derful food experi-ence with the fresh-est ingredients of the season

Think lamb and leeks newly harvested greens wild mush-rooms and spring onions and then sit back and let the chefs decide how to create with them

Thatrsquos about how this food and wine week-end has evolved Wells said

ldquoWe came up with the basic idea ndash spring harvestrdquo he said ldquoThings are just coming into season right now and that focuses us on what we want to dordquo

The two chefs decided they would work to-gether to create tasty hors drsquooeuvres for the re-ception and wine tasting on Friday night and then alternate courses for the formal 6-course dinner with wine pairings on Saturday night

DeCamp who is an award-winning chef and a finalist in the James Beard national chef con-test this year for Best Chef-Midwest will do the first third and fifth courses Wells will do the second fourth and dessert

ldquoFor the second course ndash salads and soups

ndash leeks popped into my mind immediatelyrdquo Wells said ldquoTheyrsquore coming out of the ground right now ndash so leek souprdquo

Early vegetables like pea shoots and wild mushrooms were a natural for his fourth course and dessert includes mint a reliable early spring taste

The other half of dinner is the wine pairings that will complement and expand the food

experienceAndrew Beavers

wine and beverage manager at Lutsen Resort was given the menu and began re-searching what wines would be spectacular with these foods

Beavers said he de-cided to go with Or-egon wines for the six-course meal

ldquoI had a taste of the Oregon wine portfo-lio and it was wonder-fulrdquo he said ldquoItrsquos such a great region for this time of year The food is going to be spring and the dishes will be light I think these wines will play well with thatrdquo

Beavers said the Friday evening hors-

drsquooeuvres event will feature ldquoreally nice high-end hors drsquooeuvres and wersquoll taste from four to six wines Itrsquos more of a causal open feelrdquo

The Saturday night event is formalldquoI give a brief description of each wine before

the pairingrdquo he said ldquoThen the chef will come out and speak about what they did with a par-ticular course Itrsquos really funrdquo

The wines he chooses are not typically avail-able at a neighborhood beer store but larger wine shops will carry them and they can be found online he said

ldquoWhat I really focus on when Irsquom trying to put

this together is getting wines that people donrsquot have in their house We want it to be special ndash evocative of a wine tasting very experientialrdquo

Guests are welcome to stay at the resort for the weekend so they donrsquot have to drive Wells said

ldquoWe encourage people to stay We do shuttles for people And we generally do these dinners on nights when we are slower so there are plen-ty of rooms availablerdquo

People come year after year for the event he said

ldquoThey come to Lutsen and have a really nice wine dinner and make a vacation out of itrdquo

Bluefin By Resort also will hold a Food amp Wine Lovers Weekend May 3-4 featuring Chef Judi Barsness The event will feature a four-course dinner with wine pairings on Friday night a wine tasting on Saturday af-ternoon and a five-course dinner with wine pairings on Saturday night

late 1990s At the time Wisconsin was among several states that modified trapping rules fol-lowing the national development of Best Man-agement Practices (BMPs) for trapping Min-nesota chose not to incorporate BMPs into its trapping regulations In fact aside the statersquos trapping regulations have been largely un-changed for decades

The same could be said of the mindset of the statersquos wildlife bureaucracy and state trapping leaders both of whom have been reluctant to take the concerns of dog owners seriously per-haps from a fear that by doing so they would be taking a step down a slippery slope toward and eventual all-out trapping ban

The problem is Minnesota has changed In 1980 Minnesotarsquos population was just over 4 million In 2012 the population was estimated at nearly 54 million During that time frame wersquove seen a tremendous outmigration to rural areas especially in the lakes region by people seeking a better quality of life Very often that quality of life involves spending more time outdoors Trappers are no longer alone They are now joined by bird hunters using pointers and retrievers hounds used to pursue raccoons coyotes rabbits and other critters No less im-portant are the many rural dwellers who take their dogs along when hiking skiing and winter camping Itrsquos fair to say none of these folks wants their dog to be at risk of being killed in a trap

In recent years the Minnesota Trappers Association has run an advertisement in the state hunting regulations booklet showing how to remove an animal from a body-grip trap From my own experience us-ing body-grips I donrsquot believe the Average Joe or Jill would have the know-how or physical strength to quickly remove a

body-grip from their petHarberts says Dog Lovers 4 Safe Trapping

MN may have been stymied by the 2013 Leg-islature but they arenrsquot going away until dogs are safe from body-grip traps It wonrsquot be easy to change existing rules because trappers and wildlife bureaucrats are reluctant to give up body-grip trapping techniques that are effec-tive and convenient for trappers Harberts says his group and the Minnesota Trail Hound As-sociation continue to have cordial discussions with trappers on the issue but have made little progress toward resolution Until they do so more folks are likely to lose their hunting dogs and family pets

Killing 20 dogs in a year is unacceptable especially when nearly all of those losses are preventable Itrsquos time for the DNR to act like professional wildlife managers and address the issue The agencyrsquos goal should be to have zero dogs killed in body-grips The DNR needs to take the appropriate steps to achieve that goal through a combination of conflict resolution and new trapping rules While making chang-es to protect dogs may inconvenience trappers there doesnrsquot appear to be any evidence from Wisconsin or other states that doing so will have any effect on the fur harvest Itrsquos past time for Minnesota to make the changes necessary to protect dogs from body-grip traps

The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) has partnered with Sawtooth Mountain Clinic and the Grand Portage Band of Lake Superior Chippewa to conduct a study of 500 Cook County women of childbearing age to help determine why Cook County newborns exhibit high levels of mercury The study is funded by a grant from the Environmental Protection Agency

This new study comes on the heels of a 2007-2011 study of mercury levels in 1465 newborns in the Lake Superior Basin in which MDH participated along with the Wisconsin and Michi-gan departments of health That study found that 10 percent of newborns in the Minnesota region of the study have mercury levels above the EPArsquos safe level with a particularly high concen-tration of high mercury levels in Cook County newborns

Because developing nervous systems are particularly vulner-able to the harmful effects of mercury the MDH wanted to work with Cook County clinics to see if they could reduce newborn mercury levels said Pat McCann of the MDH who is the lead on the Cook County study Fetal exposure to methylmercury (the type of mercury found in fish) can lead to issues with cognition memory attention language and fine motor and visual spatial skills in children

ldquoOne good way to help with mercury levels is to work with health care providers since thatrsquos where women get most of their health informationrdquo said McCann

This new study will allow the MDH to do just that The exact role of Sawtooth Mountain Clinic and the Grand Portage band has not yet been exactly determined However McCann said the study will work to determine why Cook County newborns have high levels of mercury and work to better educate expectant mothers about which types of fish are safe to eat

McCann said they plan to begin enrolling Cook County women in the study in January 2014 and will continue to enroll women for about a year Women who qualify for the study will be asked to participate when they go in for a regularly scheduled appointment

At this point in the studyrsquos development McCann said she believes participants will be asked to complete a questionnaire about their fish-eating habits and also submit a blood sample The blood sample will be used to test participantsrsquo levels of mer-cury and Omega 3 fatty acids to help determine each partici-pantrsquos level of fish consumption

Ideally at the end of the study participantsrsquo blood sample will show a decrease in mercury But the same levels of the healthy Omega 3 fatty acids said McCann

Irsquove grown up in a society where technol-ogy is always evolving So knowing how to use a computer cell phone iPod or other electronic device has always seemed to come naturally Yet it can stump those de-cades older than me

While my dad can tear an airplane apart and put it back together figuring out how to make a cell phone call seems to be too dif-ficult for him let alone send a text message And even though my mom taught herself how to text she goes overboard and tries to shorten every word possible making it a game to try and decipher what shersquos really saying

Now being an English Major Irsquom pretty particular about my grammar but even I slip into a different lingo sometimes when texting If yoursquore going to keep up with young folks who can text an entire para-graph quicker than you can say ldquolaughing out loudrdquo then yoursquore going to have to know some basic texting terms

First off while most people know ldquololrdquo or ldquolaughing out loudrdquo there are many other variations of laughing You could be ldquoroflrdquo or ldquorolling on the floor laughingrdquo Or you could be ldquolmaordquo aka ldquolaughing my a off rdquo You could even combine the two for an epic ldquoroflmaordquo Another route would be to simply use haha or hehe Depending on how many harsquos or hersquos are used will determine the funny factor for the recipient so choose appropriately

Many words can be shortened to a single letter saving you precious texting time and letting you text much more rapidly Such words include ldquoyrdquo instead of ldquowhyrdquo ldquorrdquo vs ldquoarerdquo ldquocrdquo for ldquoseeseardquo ldquourdquo in place of ldquoyourdquo and many more Numbers can also be in-corporated into words like ldquob4rdquo instead of ldquobeforerdquo or ldquo2rdquo for ldquoto too and twordquo

Sometimes you want your texting conver-sation to be kept a secret Itrsquos those types of conversations that you become paranoid of people peaking over your shoulder If thatrsquos the case and someone is hovering just type ldquoposrdquo and your recipient should know that there is a parentperson over your shoulder and the conversation isnrsquot safe anymore

As for capitalizations commas and peri-ods when texting who cares Lowercase letters are the norm for texting and great punctuation isnrsquot expected although if used itrsquos always an improvement Just donrsquot use all uppercase letters or it is considered RUDE SHOUTING and nobody likes get-ting yelled at

Nowadays many people have smart phones allowing them to send emoticons for almost anything such as faces hearts hand gestures and more However the ba-sic self-typed happy and sad faces are still commonly used Send ) or ( to depict your emotions Turn your sad face into rsquo( to show your tears or turn that frown upside down with a cheesy wide smile such as D or P instead You can send a ) to wink at your texting buddy Feel like your faces are missing a nose Insert a hyphen to change your faces into -) or -D etc If you do have a smart phone then sending emoticons in

place of words is always an option Try play-ing different guessing games such as send-ing emoticons to represent song lyrics to stimulate hours of entertainment laughter and fun

The world of cell phones and texting is vir-tually unlimited Phrases faces games and abbreviations are always changing and ex-panding While it may seem impossible to

keep up follow these simple texting ldquorulesrdquo and you can do no wrong But beware you might just outdo the stereotypical teenager and become a texting fiend Irsquove already cre-ated monsters out of my parents although I suppose I should feel pretty lucky to have such ldquohip and cool parentsrdquo according to them So until next month ttyl and ttfn talk to you later and ta ta for now

omg Oh My Gosh o rly Oh Really omw On My Way hmu Hit Me Up tbh To Be Honest hbu How About You n2m Not Too Much jlmk Just Let Me Know wyw Whatever You Want brb Be Right Back nvm Nevermind np No Problem wth What the Heck jk Just Kidding idk or idc I donrsquot know or I donrsquot care

rial about fish consumption over the next few years as the MDH works to get women consuming fish with lower mercury levels

ldquoThere are lots of fish that women can eatrdquo she said McCann recommends women eat smaller fish and fish that are

lower on the food chain like pan fish and crappies Lake her-ring whitefish salmon and perch are also good low-mercury fish choices

To date the Minnesota Department of Health has only done mercury level studies in the Lake Superior basin so itrsquos un-known whether Cook Countyrsquos mercury levels are unusually high compared to the rest of the state said McCann April is Sexual Assault

18 NORTH SHORE HWY 61 APRIL 2013

By Joan Farnam

More than 35000 pounds of recycled materi-als are shipped out of the Cook County Recy-cling Center every week Last year alone 1029 tons or 21 million pounds of solid waste was collected there according to a report that was released last month

Thatrsquos a lot of recycled materials but is only one quarter of the solid waste Cook County generates every year

The recyclable materials are hauled to Har-telrsquosDBJ Disposal Companies in Proctor where they eventually end up in factories pa-per mills steel mills and other firms in Min-nesota across the country and the world to be reused or repurposed

The good news is that all that glass corrugat-ed cardboard newspaper magazines mixed paper steel cans aluminum mixed plastic and lead acid batteries are removed from the countyrsquos solid waste stream And the Recycling Center makes some money out of it

In all the recycling program brought in $48000 in 2012

More than half that revenue came from the Budget Shop ($27000) while aluminum cans accounted for another $18000 said Jeff Sylves-ter operatormanager of the Recycling Center

ldquoItrsquos nice to see a fiscal returnrdquo he said as he gave a tour of the facility recently

The price for recycled materials fluctuates with the stock market he said ldquoLike any com-modity it goes up and down When the econ-omy tanked in lsquo08 it wasnrsquot worth much The markets are improvingrdquo

Sylvester said the only thing thatrsquos not mak-ing much money is glass and used unwear-able clothing The brokerage fee that Hartelrsquos charges for handling glass ($35 a ton) pretty much cancels out what they can get for it he said and therersquos no market at all right now for used clothing

ldquoWe dumpster itrdquo he said ldquoBefore the reces-sion it went to the auto industry but we lost those markets Therersquos less need for it and wersquove not been able to find good viable buyersrdquo

The Recycling Center is looking forward to making more money this year It just started

working with Hartelrsquos in December and it has been profitable he said

When the Recycling Center was first started in 1988 the goal was to substantially reduce the solid waste that was being trucked to land-fills Businesses were encouraged to recycle as were homeowners and the program has met some of its goals

ldquoOur goal was to hit a 35 percent rate for homeownersrdquo he said and that was met last year

But more could be done he added ldquoEvery business recyclesrdquo he said ldquoThey pay by vol-ume so it behooves them to reducerdquo

Homeowners on the other hand can recycle for free but many just donrsquot bother

The figures reflect this In all Cook County generated 4900 tons of solid waste in 2012 and 3636 tons of that ended up in landfills

Curbside pickup of domestic recyclables just isnrsquot feasible he said ldquoThe county canrsquot afford itrdquo

Insteadthe program has set up five rural col-lection points to make recycling easier for both households and businesses

Three of the five rural stations are specifically for businesses to use Collection stations up the Sawbill Trail in Tofte near the old airport and the one in Grand Portage are open for house-hold use as well The Grand Portage site also handles business waste including cardboard he said

ldquoGrand Portage is also paying to pull the trailer They bring it in to usrdquo he said ldquoTheyrsquore good stewards of what theyrsquore doing Their green trailer is always impeccably cared for seldom is anything in the wrong placerdquo

Quality recyclables have to be properly sorted and this requires a lot of hand labor Sylvester said which is the primary reason why the re-cycling center is not open to the public all day every day

The employees need time to sort and bale whatrsquos coming in every day he said The cen-ter has four full-time employees and one has to staff the Budget Shop for half a day so ev-erybody is scrambling to get things ready for shipment in the mornings he said

Typically they will fill a 53-foot tractor-trailer

with material every weekOne of the most time-consuming to pro-

cess and ironically one of the most prof-itable recyclables is mixed paper he said One thing homeowners are encouraged to do is recycle their junk mail and good quality paper because it brings a good price and shouldnrsquot be taking up room in a landfill

Last year 938 tons of mixed paper was generated in the county and only 37 per-cent of that was recycled Sylvester recom-mends that personal documents be shred-ded but all other mixed paper is welcome

Because the recycling program is focused on reducing all solid waste as well as being good stewards of the environment it also has organized hazardous waste and elec-tronic waste collections twice a year takes used oil and oil filters as well as lead batter-ies and purchases aluminum cans at $20 a pound from 1-230 pm each day It also takes yard waste

It does not accept furniture appliances or mattresses These can be disposed of for a fee at Petersonrsquos Disposal

The Recycling Center is open from 11 am to 4 pm Monday through Wednesday and on Friday 11 am to 6 pm Thursday and 9 am to 1 pm Saturday

Sylvester said that his personal goal is to increase homeowner participation in the re-

cycling program to 50 percent Recycling is easy he said ldquoItrsquos free itrsquos the right thing to do and itrsquos environmentally responsible We hope people will start recycling morerdquo

Cook County recycles tons of stuff

The Cook County Recycling Center trucks about 35000 pounds of recyclables every week to its broker in Proctor Manageroperator Jeff Sylvester is in one of the semi-trailers thatrsquos almost ready to go Photos by Joan Farnam

Preparing for Broadband

By Jim Boyd

The words ldquoteleworkrdquo and ldquotelecommuterdquo donrsquot trip lightly off the tongue Mention them and you likely will get a vacant look in response Thatrsquos because they donrsquot tell you what someone does just how they do it by remote computer connection

And yet the two words may together capture Cook Countyrsquos greatest hope for sustainable low-impact economic development especially de-velopment that makes it possible for more young families to put down roots here

Linda Luebchow knows all about telework Itrsquos what she does every day from the small office she rents at Cook County Higher Educationrsquos North Shore Campus Luebchow works for the immunization registry at the Minnesota Department of Health

When Luebchowrsquos husband retired from his teaching position several years ago the couple moved permanently to their home near Paradise Beach east of Grand Marais

ldquoIf it hadnrsquot been for this (teleworking arrangement)rdquo Luebchow says ldquoI would have had to retire too And I didnrsquot want to do thatrdquo

Luebchow is an ardent advocate for the benefits telework promises Cook County especially once Arrowhead Electricrsquos fiber-optic broad-band network is complete Then everyone on the countyrsquos electrical grid will have the ability to work via computer from home Until then most telework is limited to Grand Marais and a few CenturyLink DSL nodes Thatrsquos why Luebchow rents space from Higher Ed

Itrsquos Already HereIn 2010 there were 140 residents of Cook County who worked for em-

ployers in Duluth the Twin Cities Grand Rapids and other cities ac-cording to the US Census Many perhaps most of them telecommute ndash connecting with their employers via computer connections

ldquoTelecommutingrdquo comes in many flavors At one end of the spectrum it can involve employees working on their own and connecting occa-sionally via email or Skype At the other end it involves someone mak-ing a daily connection between their computer and their company net-work located elsewhere

The latter workers tend to connect via something called a ldquovirtual pri-vate networkrdquo or VPN With a VPN connection itrsquos as if remote work-ers were actually in the company office

VPN connections and dial-up or satellite Internet get along about as well as a Model A and a trip to the moon They donrsquot

That said some telecommuters are doing amazing things from Cook County already designing software writing technical manuals editing books selling real estate managing nonprofits working as chemists and physicistsand project managers

A recent informal survey of county telecommuters also elicited a num-ber of comments from people who a) live in the Twin Cities now tele-commute to jobs elsewhere in the Twin Cities and are eager to move that work to Cook County or b) work elsewhere but plan to begin telecom-

muting and move to Cook County once Arrowhead inaugurates broad-band service

From this anecdotal information it seems clear that Cook County will get a substantial economic and population boost from the advent of Ar-rowhead broadband This will happen without much effort beyond Ar-rowhead lighting up its fiber-optic network A much more determined effort will be required to create telework opportunities for young people just starting out especially those who have no skills that lend them-selves to telework

Making It HappenJulie May manages work-at-home programs for UnitedHealthCare

in the Twin Cities Shersquos responsible for 10000 teleworkers including 3000 in Minnesota ndash most of whom do not live in the Twin Cities

Creating a strong community telework environment May says should involve local government people responsible for local economic devel-opment educational institutions and broadband providers She lists three primary responsibilities

Marketing yourself as a teleworker-friendly community to those who would like to live on the North Shore and who may not know telework is possible from here

Making connections with area community colleges to ensure training is available for local residents in career areas easily adaptable to tele-work In the absence of a local community college this chore falls to Cook County Higher Education CCHE executive director Paula Sundet Wolf is aware of and exploring this need

Developing and marketing a broadband telework package to potential telework employers This May says involves the local telcoms (Cen-turyLink and Arrowhead Electric) creating service packages that best meet telework requirements (She recommends 15 Mbps download and 2 Mbps upload Asymmetrical service is best she says) setting an attrac-tive price for the service and developing the resources to provide same-day service responses when problems inevitably arise Before employers seriously will consider hiring teleworkers May says they must be as-sured of stable connections stable pricing and quick service-response times

Some time ago UnitedHealthCare created a customer-service call cen-ter in a remote Texas community where job opportunities were minimal They only pay $8-$15 per hour But the work is full-time year-round and provides vacation health-care and other benefits From the perspective of Cook County workers surviving on part-time seasonal jobs paying the same wage those UnitedHealthCare jobs would look pretty good

A strange sad irony of this legislative session is that efforts to save wolves from hunting may lead to the deaths of some dogs by trapping Efforts to revisit the regulations regarding the use of body-grip traps which critics say are responsible for killing several dogs every year in Minnesota have been stymied by legislators who say they will not introduce any trapping bills in 2013 for fear that anti-wolf hunting measures may be attached to them

The issue of body-grip traps and dogs is not new For years dog owners have complained often after losing a pet about the le-thal consequences of a dog being inadvertently caught in a body-grip trap which is designed to kill quickly The dog owner may have even been there when the incident occurred but lacked the ability to remove the trap before it killed the dog The Minne-sota DNR has always acknowledged such incidents occur but essentially brushes them off as insignificant on a statewide basis

But dog deaths suddenly became significant a couple of years ago when a handful of dog owners most of whom had lost dogs in body-grip traps decided to do something about the issue They formed a group Dog Lovers 4 Safe Trapping to push for reform of the rules for using body-grip traps Most of the mem-bers are the owners of hunting dogs They emphasize that while they are seeking changes to trapping rules they are not opposed to trapping

ldquoOur group tries very hard to distance ourselves from anti trap-ping and hunting organizationsrdquo says Dog Lovers 4 Safe Trap-ping MN board member and hunter Brett Harberts of Emily

Unlike foothold traps which are designed to capture and hold an animal by its foot body-grips are intended to kill an animal quickly by closing on its neck They are also commonly called ldquoConibearrdquo traps after inventor Frank Conibear While they come in sizes small enough for muskrats to large enough for beavers the mid-sized traps sizes 160 and 220 are of greatest concern to dog owners In Minnesota both traps may be set on the ground either in a baited set or as unbaited set along a trail The beaver-sized 330 body-grip must be at least half-submerged in water which makes it much less likely to inadvertently cap-ture dogs or other unintended animals

Last year the Legislature tweaked body-grip rules so that 160s and 220s used in baited sets must be recessed seven inches from the top of an enclosure or placed at least three feet off the ground Unbaited body-grips must be at least 20 feet from any attractant These statewide rules are significantly less restrictive than rules put in place several years ago to protect the federally threatened Canada lynx in northeastern Minnesota According to the lynx rules any 160 or 220 placed on the ground must be set in a cubby with the trap a minimum of seven inches from the opening The opening may not exceed 50 square inches which is a 7- by 7-inch square Unbaited trail sets are not allowed

Here in the northeast Irsquove heard few if any reports of dogs

being killed in body-grips since the lynx rules were adopted The same cannot be said of the statewide rule The Dog Lovers 4 Safe Trapping MN website notes the organization documented 13 dogs killed between Oct 20 and Dec 31 2012 the first trap-ping season for which the new statewide rules were in effect An additional 7 dogs were killed between Jan 1 and Mar 15 2012 before the rules were enacted This means a total of 20 dogs were killed by traps in Minnesota during 2012

Harberts says in contrast Wisconsin has reported very few dog deaths due to body-grips since changing its trapping rules in the

Spring forward with Lutsen Resortrsquos ldquoSpring Food amp Wine Weekendrdquo April 5-6 and savor the early harvest

This outstanding culinary event one of two exciting wine dinners held in the county each spring will highlight the harvest at this time of year said Rob Wells executive chef at Lutsen Resort

Wells and guest chef Mike DeCamp chef de cuisine at La Belle Vie in Minneapolis are working together to create a truly won-derful food experi-ence with the fresh-est ingredients of the season

Think lamb and leeks newly harvested greens wild mush-rooms and spring onions and then sit back and let the chefs decide how to create with them

Thatrsquos about how this food and wine week-end has evolved Wells said

ldquoWe came up with the basic idea ndash spring harvestrdquo he said ldquoThings are just coming into season right now and that focuses us on what we want to dordquo

The two chefs decided they would work to-gether to create tasty hors drsquooeuvres for the re-ception and wine tasting on Friday night and then alternate courses for the formal 6-course dinner with wine pairings on Saturday night

DeCamp who is an award-winning chef and a finalist in the James Beard national chef con-test this year for Best Chef-Midwest will do the first third and fifth courses Wells will do the second fourth and dessert

ldquoFor the second course ndash salads and soups

ndash leeks popped into my mind immediatelyrdquo Wells said ldquoTheyrsquore coming out of the ground right now ndash so leek souprdquo

Early vegetables like pea shoots and wild mushrooms were a natural for his fourth course and dessert includes mint a reliable early spring taste

The other half of dinner is the wine pairings that will complement and expand the food

experienceAndrew Beavers

wine and beverage manager at Lutsen Resort was given the menu and began re-searching what wines would be spectacular with these foods

Beavers said he de-cided to go with Or-egon wines for the six-course meal

ldquoI had a taste of the Oregon wine portfo-lio and it was wonder-fulrdquo he said ldquoItrsquos such a great region for this time of year The food is going to be spring and the dishes will be light I think these wines will play well with thatrdquo

Beavers said the Friday evening hors-

drsquooeuvres event will feature ldquoreally nice high-end hors drsquooeuvres and wersquoll taste from four to six wines Itrsquos more of a causal open feelrdquo

The Saturday night event is formalldquoI give a brief description of each wine before

the pairingrdquo he said ldquoThen the chef will come out and speak about what they did with a par-ticular course Itrsquos really funrdquo

The wines he chooses are not typically avail-able at a neighborhood beer store but larger wine shops will carry them and they can be found online he said

ldquoWhat I really focus on when Irsquom trying to put

this together is getting wines that people donrsquot have in their house We want it to be special ndash evocative of a wine tasting very experientialrdquo

Guests are welcome to stay at the resort for the weekend so they donrsquot have to drive Wells said

ldquoWe encourage people to stay We do shuttles for people And we generally do these dinners on nights when we are slower so there are plen-ty of rooms availablerdquo

People come year after year for the event he said

ldquoThey come to Lutsen and have a really nice wine dinner and make a vacation out of itrdquo

Bluefin By Resort also will hold a Food amp Wine Lovers Weekend May 3-4 featuring Chef Judi Barsness The event will feature a four-course dinner with wine pairings on Friday night a wine tasting on Saturday af-ternoon and a five-course dinner with wine pairings on Saturday night

late 1990s At the time Wisconsin was among several states that modified trapping rules fol-lowing the national development of Best Man-agement Practices (BMPs) for trapping Min-nesota chose not to incorporate BMPs into its trapping regulations In fact aside the statersquos trapping regulations have been largely un-changed for decades

The same could be said of the mindset of the statersquos wildlife bureaucracy and state trapping leaders both of whom have been reluctant to take the concerns of dog owners seriously per-haps from a fear that by doing so they would be taking a step down a slippery slope toward and eventual all-out trapping ban

The problem is Minnesota has changed In 1980 Minnesotarsquos population was just over 4 million In 2012 the population was estimated at nearly 54 million During that time frame wersquove seen a tremendous outmigration to rural areas especially in the lakes region by people seeking a better quality of life Very often that quality of life involves spending more time outdoors Trappers are no longer alone They are now joined by bird hunters using pointers and retrievers hounds used to pursue raccoons coyotes rabbits and other critters No less im-portant are the many rural dwellers who take their dogs along when hiking skiing and winter camping Itrsquos fair to say none of these folks wants their dog to be at risk of being killed in a trap

In recent years the Minnesota Trappers Association has run an advertisement in the state hunting regulations booklet showing how to remove an animal from a body-grip trap From my own experience us-ing body-grips I donrsquot believe the Average Joe or Jill would have the know-how or physical strength to quickly remove a

body-grip from their petHarberts says Dog Lovers 4 Safe Trapping

MN may have been stymied by the 2013 Leg-islature but they arenrsquot going away until dogs are safe from body-grip traps It wonrsquot be easy to change existing rules because trappers and wildlife bureaucrats are reluctant to give up body-grip trapping techniques that are effec-tive and convenient for trappers Harberts says his group and the Minnesota Trail Hound As-sociation continue to have cordial discussions with trappers on the issue but have made little progress toward resolution Until they do so more folks are likely to lose their hunting dogs and family pets

Killing 20 dogs in a year is unacceptable especially when nearly all of those losses are preventable Itrsquos time for the DNR to act like professional wildlife managers and address the issue The agencyrsquos goal should be to have zero dogs killed in body-grips The DNR needs to take the appropriate steps to achieve that goal through a combination of conflict resolution and new trapping rules While making chang-es to protect dogs may inconvenience trappers there doesnrsquot appear to be any evidence from Wisconsin or other states that doing so will have any effect on the fur harvest Itrsquos past time for Minnesota to make the changes necessary to protect dogs from body-grip traps

The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) has partnered with Sawtooth Mountain Clinic and the Grand Portage Band of Lake Superior Chippewa to conduct a study of 500 Cook County women of childbearing age to help determine why Cook County newborns exhibit high levels of mercury The study is funded by a grant from the Environmental Protection Agency

This new study comes on the heels of a 2007-2011 study of mercury levels in 1465 newborns in the Lake Superior Basin in which MDH participated along with the Wisconsin and Michi-gan departments of health That study found that 10 percent of newborns in the Minnesota region of the study have mercury levels above the EPArsquos safe level with a particularly high concen-tration of high mercury levels in Cook County newborns

Because developing nervous systems are particularly vulner-able to the harmful effects of mercury the MDH wanted to work with Cook County clinics to see if they could reduce newborn mercury levels said Pat McCann of the MDH who is the lead on the Cook County study Fetal exposure to methylmercury (the type of mercury found in fish) can lead to issues with cognition memory attention language and fine motor and visual spatial skills in children

ldquoOne good way to help with mercury levels is to work with health care providers since thatrsquos where women get most of their health informationrdquo said McCann

This new study will allow the MDH to do just that The exact role of Sawtooth Mountain Clinic and the Grand Portage band has not yet been exactly determined However McCann said the study will work to determine why Cook County newborns have high levels of mercury and work to better educate expectant mothers about which types of fish are safe to eat

McCann said they plan to begin enrolling Cook County women in the study in January 2014 and will continue to enroll women for about a year Women who qualify for the study will be asked to participate when they go in for a regularly scheduled appointment

At this point in the studyrsquos development McCann said she believes participants will be asked to complete a questionnaire about their fish-eating habits and also submit a blood sample The blood sample will be used to test participantsrsquo levels of mer-cury and Omega 3 fatty acids to help determine each partici-pantrsquos level of fish consumption

Ideally at the end of the study participantsrsquo blood sample will show a decrease in mercury But the same levels of the healthy Omega 3 fatty acids said McCann

Irsquove grown up in a society where technol-ogy is always evolving So knowing how to use a computer cell phone iPod or other electronic device has always seemed to come naturally Yet it can stump those de-cades older than me

While my dad can tear an airplane apart and put it back together figuring out how to make a cell phone call seems to be too dif-ficult for him let alone send a text message And even though my mom taught herself how to text she goes overboard and tries to shorten every word possible making it a game to try and decipher what shersquos really saying

Now being an English Major Irsquom pretty particular about my grammar but even I slip into a different lingo sometimes when texting If yoursquore going to keep up with young folks who can text an entire para-graph quicker than you can say ldquolaughing out loudrdquo then yoursquore going to have to know some basic texting terms

First off while most people know ldquololrdquo or ldquolaughing out loudrdquo there are many other variations of laughing You could be ldquoroflrdquo or ldquorolling on the floor laughingrdquo Or you could be ldquolmaordquo aka ldquolaughing my a off rdquo You could even combine the two for an epic ldquoroflmaordquo Another route would be to simply use haha or hehe Depending on how many harsquos or hersquos are used will determine the funny factor for the recipient so choose appropriately

Many words can be shortened to a single letter saving you precious texting time and letting you text much more rapidly Such words include ldquoyrdquo instead of ldquowhyrdquo ldquorrdquo vs ldquoarerdquo ldquocrdquo for ldquoseeseardquo ldquourdquo in place of ldquoyourdquo and many more Numbers can also be in-corporated into words like ldquob4rdquo instead of ldquobeforerdquo or ldquo2rdquo for ldquoto too and twordquo

Sometimes you want your texting conver-sation to be kept a secret Itrsquos those types of conversations that you become paranoid of people peaking over your shoulder If thatrsquos the case and someone is hovering just type ldquoposrdquo and your recipient should know that there is a parentperson over your shoulder and the conversation isnrsquot safe anymore

As for capitalizations commas and peri-ods when texting who cares Lowercase letters are the norm for texting and great punctuation isnrsquot expected although if used itrsquos always an improvement Just donrsquot use all uppercase letters or it is considered RUDE SHOUTING and nobody likes get-ting yelled at

Nowadays many people have smart phones allowing them to send emoticons for almost anything such as faces hearts hand gestures and more However the ba-sic self-typed happy and sad faces are still commonly used Send ) or ( to depict your emotions Turn your sad face into rsquo( to show your tears or turn that frown upside down with a cheesy wide smile such as D or P instead You can send a ) to wink at your texting buddy Feel like your faces are missing a nose Insert a hyphen to change your faces into -) or -D etc If you do have a smart phone then sending emoticons in

place of words is always an option Try play-ing different guessing games such as send-ing emoticons to represent song lyrics to stimulate hours of entertainment laughter and fun

The world of cell phones and texting is vir-tually unlimited Phrases faces games and abbreviations are always changing and ex-panding While it may seem impossible to

keep up follow these simple texting ldquorulesrdquo and you can do no wrong But beware you might just outdo the stereotypical teenager and become a texting fiend Irsquove already cre-ated monsters out of my parents although I suppose I should feel pretty lucky to have such ldquohip and cool parentsrdquo according to them So until next month ttyl and ttfn talk to you later and ta ta for now

omg Oh My Gosh o rly Oh Really omw On My Way hmu Hit Me Up tbh To Be Honest hbu How About You n2m Not Too Much jlmk Just Let Me Know wyw Whatever You Want brb Be Right Back nvm Nevermind np No Problem wth What the Heck jk Just Kidding idk or idc I donrsquot know or I donrsquot care

rial about fish consumption over the next few years as the MDH works to get women consuming fish with lower mercury levels

ldquoThere are lots of fish that women can eatrdquo she said McCann recommends women eat smaller fish and fish that are

lower on the food chain like pan fish and crappies Lake her-ring whitefish salmon and perch are also good low-mercury fish choices

To date the Minnesota Department of Health has only done mercury level studies in the Lake Superior basin so itrsquos un-known whether Cook Countyrsquos mercury levels are unusually high compared to the rest of the state said McCann April is Sexual Assault

18 NORTH SHORE HWY 61 APRIL 2013

By Joan Farnam

More than 35000 pounds of recycled materi-als are shipped out of the Cook County Recy-cling Center every week Last year alone 1029 tons or 21 million pounds of solid waste was collected there according to a report that was released last month

Thatrsquos a lot of recycled materials but is only one quarter of the solid waste Cook County generates every year

The recyclable materials are hauled to Har-telrsquosDBJ Disposal Companies in Proctor where they eventually end up in factories pa-per mills steel mills and other firms in Min-nesota across the country and the world to be reused or repurposed

The good news is that all that glass corrugat-ed cardboard newspaper magazines mixed paper steel cans aluminum mixed plastic and lead acid batteries are removed from the countyrsquos solid waste stream And the Recycling Center makes some money out of it

In all the recycling program brought in $48000 in 2012

More than half that revenue came from the Budget Shop ($27000) while aluminum cans accounted for another $18000 said Jeff Sylves-ter operatormanager of the Recycling Center

ldquoItrsquos nice to see a fiscal returnrdquo he said as he gave a tour of the facility recently

The price for recycled materials fluctuates with the stock market he said ldquoLike any com-modity it goes up and down When the econ-omy tanked in lsquo08 it wasnrsquot worth much The markets are improvingrdquo

Sylvester said the only thing thatrsquos not mak-ing much money is glass and used unwear-able clothing The brokerage fee that Hartelrsquos charges for handling glass ($35 a ton) pretty much cancels out what they can get for it he said and therersquos no market at all right now for used clothing

ldquoWe dumpster itrdquo he said ldquoBefore the reces-sion it went to the auto industry but we lost those markets Therersquos less need for it and wersquove not been able to find good viable buyersrdquo

The Recycling Center is looking forward to making more money this year It just started

working with Hartelrsquos in December and it has been profitable he said

When the Recycling Center was first started in 1988 the goal was to substantially reduce the solid waste that was being trucked to land-fills Businesses were encouraged to recycle as were homeowners and the program has met some of its goals

ldquoOur goal was to hit a 35 percent rate for homeownersrdquo he said and that was met last year

But more could be done he added ldquoEvery business recyclesrdquo he said ldquoThey pay by vol-ume so it behooves them to reducerdquo

Homeowners on the other hand can recycle for free but many just donrsquot bother

The figures reflect this In all Cook County generated 4900 tons of solid waste in 2012 and 3636 tons of that ended up in landfills

Curbside pickup of domestic recyclables just isnrsquot feasible he said ldquoThe county canrsquot afford itrdquo

Insteadthe program has set up five rural col-lection points to make recycling easier for both households and businesses

Three of the five rural stations are specifically for businesses to use Collection stations up the Sawbill Trail in Tofte near the old airport and the one in Grand Portage are open for house-hold use as well The Grand Portage site also handles business waste including cardboard he said

ldquoGrand Portage is also paying to pull the trailer They bring it in to usrdquo he said ldquoTheyrsquore good stewards of what theyrsquore doing Their green trailer is always impeccably cared for seldom is anything in the wrong placerdquo

Quality recyclables have to be properly sorted and this requires a lot of hand labor Sylvester said which is the primary reason why the re-cycling center is not open to the public all day every day

The employees need time to sort and bale whatrsquos coming in every day he said The cen-ter has four full-time employees and one has to staff the Budget Shop for half a day so ev-erybody is scrambling to get things ready for shipment in the mornings he said

Typically they will fill a 53-foot tractor-trailer

with material every weekOne of the most time-consuming to pro-

cess and ironically one of the most prof-itable recyclables is mixed paper he said One thing homeowners are encouraged to do is recycle their junk mail and good quality paper because it brings a good price and shouldnrsquot be taking up room in a landfill

Last year 938 tons of mixed paper was generated in the county and only 37 per-cent of that was recycled Sylvester recom-mends that personal documents be shred-ded but all other mixed paper is welcome

Because the recycling program is focused on reducing all solid waste as well as being good stewards of the environment it also has organized hazardous waste and elec-tronic waste collections twice a year takes used oil and oil filters as well as lead batter-ies and purchases aluminum cans at $20 a pound from 1-230 pm each day It also takes yard waste

It does not accept furniture appliances or mattresses These can be disposed of for a fee at Petersonrsquos Disposal

The Recycling Center is open from 11 am to 4 pm Monday through Wednesday and on Friday 11 am to 6 pm Thursday and 9 am to 1 pm Saturday

Sylvester said that his personal goal is to increase homeowner participation in the re-

cycling program to 50 percent Recycling is easy he said ldquoItrsquos free itrsquos the right thing to do and itrsquos environmentally responsible We hope people will start recycling morerdquo

Cook County recycles tons of stuff

The Cook County Recycling Center trucks about 35000 pounds of recyclables every week to its broker in Proctor Manageroperator Jeff Sylvester is in one of the semi-trailers thatrsquos almost ready to go Photos by Joan Farnam

Preparing for Broadband

By Jim Boyd

The words ldquoteleworkrdquo and ldquotelecommuterdquo donrsquot trip lightly off the tongue Mention them and you likely will get a vacant look in response Thatrsquos because they donrsquot tell you what someone does just how they do it by remote computer connection

And yet the two words may together capture Cook Countyrsquos greatest hope for sustainable low-impact economic development especially de-velopment that makes it possible for more young families to put down roots here

Linda Luebchow knows all about telework Itrsquos what she does every day from the small office she rents at Cook County Higher Educationrsquos North Shore Campus Luebchow works for the immunization registry at the Minnesota Department of Health

When Luebchowrsquos husband retired from his teaching position several years ago the couple moved permanently to their home near Paradise Beach east of Grand Marais

ldquoIf it hadnrsquot been for this (teleworking arrangement)rdquo Luebchow says ldquoI would have had to retire too And I didnrsquot want to do thatrdquo

Luebchow is an ardent advocate for the benefits telework promises Cook County especially once Arrowhead Electricrsquos fiber-optic broad-band network is complete Then everyone on the countyrsquos electrical grid will have the ability to work via computer from home Until then most telework is limited to Grand Marais and a few CenturyLink DSL nodes Thatrsquos why Luebchow rents space from Higher Ed

Itrsquos Already HereIn 2010 there were 140 residents of Cook County who worked for em-

ployers in Duluth the Twin Cities Grand Rapids and other cities ac-cording to the US Census Many perhaps most of them telecommute ndash connecting with their employers via computer connections

ldquoTelecommutingrdquo comes in many flavors At one end of the spectrum it can involve employees working on their own and connecting occa-sionally via email or Skype At the other end it involves someone mak-ing a daily connection between their computer and their company net-work located elsewhere

The latter workers tend to connect via something called a ldquovirtual pri-vate networkrdquo or VPN With a VPN connection itrsquos as if remote work-ers were actually in the company office

VPN connections and dial-up or satellite Internet get along about as well as a Model A and a trip to the moon They donrsquot

That said some telecommuters are doing amazing things from Cook County already designing software writing technical manuals editing books selling real estate managing nonprofits working as chemists and physicistsand project managers

A recent informal survey of county telecommuters also elicited a num-ber of comments from people who a) live in the Twin Cities now tele-commute to jobs elsewhere in the Twin Cities and are eager to move that work to Cook County or b) work elsewhere but plan to begin telecom-

muting and move to Cook County once Arrowhead inaugurates broad-band service

From this anecdotal information it seems clear that Cook County will get a substantial economic and population boost from the advent of Ar-rowhead broadband This will happen without much effort beyond Ar-rowhead lighting up its fiber-optic network A much more determined effort will be required to create telework opportunities for young people just starting out especially those who have no skills that lend them-selves to telework

Making It HappenJulie May manages work-at-home programs for UnitedHealthCare

in the Twin Cities Shersquos responsible for 10000 teleworkers including 3000 in Minnesota ndash most of whom do not live in the Twin Cities

Creating a strong community telework environment May says should involve local government people responsible for local economic devel-opment educational institutions and broadband providers She lists three primary responsibilities

Marketing yourself as a teleworker-friendly community to those who would like to live on the North Shore and who may not know telework is possible from here

Making connections with area community colleges to ensure training is available for local residents in career areas easily adaptable to tele-work In the absence of a local community college this chore falls to Cook County Higher Education CCHE executive director Paula Sundet Wolf is aware of and exploring this need

Developing and marketing a broadband telework package to potential telework employers This May says involves the local telcoms (Cen-turyLink and Arrowhead Electric) creating service packages that best meet telework requirements (She recommends 15 Mbps download and 2 Mbps upload Asymmetrical service is best she says) setting an attrac-tive price for the service and developing the resources to provide same-day service responses when problems inevitably arise Before employers seriously will consider hiring teleworkers May says they must be as-sured of stable connections stable pricing and quick service-response times

Some time ago UnitedHealthCare created a customer-service call cen-ter in a remote Texas community where job opportunities were minimal They only pay $8-$15 per hour But the work is full-time year-round and provides vacation health-care and other benefits From the perspective of Cook County workers surviving on part-time seasonal jobs paying the same wage those UnitedHealthCare jobs would look pretty good

A strange sad irony of this legislative session is that efforts to save wolves from hunting may lead to the deaths of some dogs by trapping Efforts to revisit the regulations regarding the use of body-grip traps which critics say are responsible for killing several dogs every year in Minnesota have been stymied by legislators who say they will not introduce any trapping bills in 2013 for fear that anti-wolf hunting measures may be attached to them

The issue of body-grip traps and dogs is not new For years dog owners have complained often after losing a pet about the le-thal consequences of a dog being inadvertently caught in a body-grip trap which is designed to kill quickly The dog owner may have even been there when the incident occurred but lacked the ability to remove the trap before it killed the dog The Minne-sota DNR has always acknowledged such incidents occur but essentially brushes them off as insignificant on a statewide basis

But dog deaths suddenly became significant a couple of years ago when a handful of dog owners most of whom had lost dogs in body-grip traps decided to do something about the issue They formed a group Dog Lovers 4 Safe Trapping to push for reform of the rules for using body-grip traps Most of the mem-bers are the owners of hunting dogs They emphasize that while they are seeking changes to trapping rules they are not opposed to trapping

ldquoOur group tries very hard to distance ourselves from anti trap-ping and hunting organizationsrdquo says Dog Lovers 4 Safe Trap-ping MN board member and hunter Brett Harberts of Emily

Unlike foothold traps which are designed to capture and hold an animal by its foot body-grips are intended to kill an animal quickly by closing on its neck They are also commonly called ldquoConibearrdquo traps after inventor Frank Conibear While they come in sizes small enough for muskrats to large enough for beavers the mid-sized traps sizes 160 and 220 are of greatest concern to dog owners In Minnesota both traps may be set on the ground either in a baited set or as unbaited set along a trail The beaver-sized 330 body-grip must be at least half-submerged in water which makes it much less likely to inadvertently cap-ture dogs or other unintended animals

Last year the Legislature tweaked body-grip rules so that 160s and 220s used in baited sets must be recessed seven inches from the top of an enclosure or placed at least three feet off the ground Unbaited body-grips must be at least 20 feet from any attractant These statewide rules are significantly less restrictive than rules put in place several years ago to protect the federally threatened Canada lynx in northeastern Minnesota According to the lynx rules any 160 or 220 placed on the ground must be set in a cubby with the trap a minimum of seven inches from the opening The opening may not exceed 50 square inches which is a 7- by 7-inch square Unbaited trail sets are not allowed

Here in the northeast Irsquove heard few if any reports of dogs

being killed in body-grips since the lynx rules were adopted The same cannot be said of the statewide rule The Dog Lovers 4 Safe Trapping MN website notes the organization documented 13 dogs killed between Oct 20 and Dec 31 2012 the first trap-ping season for which the new statewide rules were in effect An additional 7 dogs were killed between Jan 1 and Mar 15 2012 before the rules were enacted This means a total of 20 dogs were killed by traps in Minnesota during 2012

Harberts says in contrast Wisconsin has reported very few dog deaths due to body-grips since changing its trapping rules in the

Spring forward with Lutsen Resortrsquos ldquoSpring Food amp Wine Weekendrdquo April 5-6 and savor the early harvest

This outstanding culinary event one of two exciting wine dinners held in the county each spring will highlight the harvest at this time of year said Rob Wells executive chef at Lutsen Resort

Wells and guest chef Mike DeCamp chef de cuisine at La Belle Vie in Minneapolis are working together to create a truly won-derful food experi-ence with the fresh-est ingredients of the season

Think lamb and leeks newly harvested greens wild mush-rooms and spring onions and then sit back and let the chefs decide how to create with them

Thatrsquos about how this food and wine week-end has evolved Wells said

ldquoWe came up with the basic idea ndash spring harvestrdquo he said ldquoThings are just coming into season right now and that focuses us on what we want to dordquo

The two chefs decided they would work to-gether to create tasty hors drsquooeuvres for the re-ception and wine tasting on Friday night and then alternate courses for the formal 6-course dinner with wine pairings on Saturday night

DeCamp who is an award-winning chef and a finalist in the James Beard national chef con-test this year for Best Chef-Midwest will do the first third and fifth courses Wells will do the second fourth and dessert

ldquoFor the second course ndash salads and soups

ndash leeks popped into my mind immediatelyrdquo Wells said ldquoTheyrsquore coming out of the ground right now ndash so leek souprdquo

Early vegetables like pea shoots and wild mushrooms were a natural for his fourth course and dessert includes mint a reliable early spring taste

The other half of dinner is the wine pairings that will complement and expand the food

experienceAndrew Beavers

wine and beverage manager at Lutsen Resort was given the menu and began re-searching what wines would be spectacular with these foods

Beavers said he de-cided to go with Or-egon wines for the six-course meal

ldquoI had a taste of the Oregon wine portfo-lio and it was wonder-fulrdquo he said ldquoItrsquos such a great region for this time of year The food is going to be spring and the dishes will be light I think these wines will play well with thatrdquo

Beavers said the Friday evening hors-

drsquooeuvres event will feature ldquoreally nice high-end hors drsquooeuvres and wersquoll taste from four to six wines Itrsquos more of a causal open feelrdquo

The Saturday night event is formalldquoI give a brief description of each wine before

the pairingrdquo he said ldquoThen the chef will come out and speak about what they did with a par-ticular course Itrsquos really funrdquo

The wines he chooses are not typically avail-able at a neighborhood beer store but larger wine shops will carry them and they can be found online he said

ldquoWhat I really focus on when Irsquom trying to put

this together is getting wines that people donrsquot have in their house We want it to be special ndash evocative of a wine tasting very experientialrdquo

Guests are welcome to stay at the resort for the weekend so they donrsquot have to drive Wells said

ldquoWe encourage people to stay We do shuttles for people And we generally do these dinners on nights when we are slower so there are plen-ty of rooms availablerdquo

People come year after year for the event he said

ldquoThey come to Lutsen and have a really nice wine dinner and make a vacation out of itrdquo

Bluefin By Resort also will hold a Food amp Wine Lovers Weekend May 3-4 featuring Chef Judi Barsness The event will feature a four-course dinner with wine pairings on Friday night a wine tasting on Saturday af-ternoon and a five-course dinner with wine pairings on Saturday night

late 1990s At the time Wisconsin was among several states that modified trapping rules fol-lowing the national development of Best Man-agement Practices (BMPs) for trapping Min-nesota chose not to incorporate BMPs into its trapping regulations In fact aside the statersquos trapping regulations have been largely un-changed for decades

The same could be said of the mindset of the statersquos wildlife bureaucracy and state trapping leaders both of whom have been reluctant to take the concerns of dog owners seriously per-haps from a fear that by doing so they would be taking a step down a slippery slope toward and eventual all-out trapping ban

The problem is Minnesota has changed In 1980 Minnesotarsquos population was just over 4 million In 2012 the population was estimated at nearly 54 million During that time frame wersquove seen a tremendous outmigration to rural areas especially in the lakes region by people seeking a better quality of life Very often that quality of life involves spending more time outdoors Trappers are no longer alone They are now joined by bird hunters using pointers and retrievers hounds used to pursue raccoons coyotes rabbits and other critters No less im-portant are the many rural dwellers who take their dogs along when hiking skiing and winter camping Itrsquos fair to say none of these folks wants their dog to be at risk of being killed in a trap

In recent years the Minnesota Trappers Association has run an advertisement in the state hunting regulations booklet showing how to remove an animal from a body-grip trap From my own experience us-ing body-grips I donrsquot believe the Average Joe or Jill would have the know-how or physical strength to quickly remove a

body-grip from their petHarberts says Dog Lovers 4 Safe Trapping

MN may have been stymied by the 2013 Leg-islature but they arenrsquot going away until dogs are safe from body-grip traps It wonrsquot be easy to change existing rules because trappers and wildlife bureaucrats are reluctant to give up body-grip trapping techniques that are effec-tive and convenient for trappers Harberts says his group and the Minnesota Trail Hound As-sociation continue to have cordial discussions with trappers on the issue but have made little progress toward resolution Until they do so more folks are likely to lose their hunting dogs and family pets

Killing 20 dogs in a year is unacceptable especially when nearly all of those losses are preventable Itrsquos time for the DNR to act like professional wildlife managers and address the issue The agencyrsquos goal should be to have zero dogs killed in body-grips The DNR needs to take the appropriate steps to achieve that goal through a combination of conflict resolution and new trapping rules While making chang-es to protect dogs may inconvenience trappers there doesnrsquot appear to be any evidence from Wisconsin or other states that doing so will have any effect on the fur harvest Itrsquos past time for Minnesota to make the changes necessary to protect dogs from body-grip traps

The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) has partnered with Sawtooth Mountain Clinic and the Grand Portage Band of Lake Superior Chippewa to conduct a study of 500 Cook County women of childbearing age to help determine why Cook County newborns exhibit high levels of mercury The study is funded by a grant from the Environmental Protection Agency

This new study comes on the heels of a 2007-2011 study of mercury levels in 1465 newborns in the Lake Superior Basin in which MDH participated along with the Wisconsin and Michi-gan departments of health That study found that 10 percent of newborns in the Minnesota region of the study have mercury levels above the EPArsquos safe level with a particularly high concen-tration of high mercury levels in Cook County newborns

Because developing nervous systems are particularly vulner-able to the harmful effects of mercury the MDH wanted to work with Cook County clinics to see if they could reduce newborn mercury levels said Pat McCann of the MDH who is the lead on the Cook County study Fetal exposure to methylmercury (the type of mercury found in fish) can lead to issues with cognition memory attention language and fine motor and visual spatial skills in children

ldquoOne good way to help with mercury levels is to work with health care providers since thatrsquos where women get most of their health informationrdquo said McCann

This new study will allow the MDH to do just that The exact role of Sawtooth Mountain Clinic and the Grand Portage band has not yet been exactly determined However McCann said the study will work to determine why Cook County newborns have high levels of mercury and work to better educate expectant mothers about which types of fish are safe to eat

McCann said they plan to begin enrolling Cook County women in the study in January 2014 and will continue to enroll women for about a year Women who qualify for the study will be asked to participate when they go in for a regularly scheduled appointment

At this point in the studyrsquos development McCann said she believes participants will be asked to complete a questionnaire about their fish-eating habits and also submit a blood sample The blood sample will be used to test participantsrsquo levels of mer-cury and Omega 3 fatty acids to help determine each partici-pantrsquos level of fish consumption

Ideally at the end of the study participantsrsquo blood sample will show a decrease in mercury But the same levels of the healthy Omega 3 fatty acids said McCann

Irsquove grown up in a society where technol-ogy is always evolving So knowing how to use a computer cell phone iPod or other electronic device has always seemed to come naturally Yet it can stump those de-cades older than me

While my dad can tear an airplane apart and put it back together figuring out how to make a cell phone call seems to be too dif-ficult for him let alone send a text message And even though my mom taught herself how to text she goes overboard and tries to shorten every word possible making it a game to try and decipher what shersquos really saying

Now being an English Major Irsquom pretty particular about my grammar but even I slip into a different lingo sometimes when texting If yoursquore going to keep up with young folks who can text an entire para-graph quicker than you can say ldquolaughing out loudrdquo then yoursquore going to have to know some basic texting terms

First off while most people know ldquololrdquo or ldquolaughing out loudrdquo there are many other variations of laughing You could be ldquoroflrdquo or ldquorolling on the floor laughingrdquo Or you could be ldquolmaordquo aka ldquolaughing my a off rdquo You could even combine the two for an epic ldquoroflmaordquo Another route would be to simply use haha or hehe Depending on how many harsquos or hersquos are used will determine the funny factor for the recipient so choose appropriately

Many words can be shortened to a single letter saving you precious texting time and letting you text much more rapidly Such words include ldquoyrdquo instead of ldquowhyrdquo ldquorrdquo vs ldquoarerdquo ldquocrdquo for ldquoseeseardquo ldquourdquo in place of ldquoyourdquo and many more Numbers can also be in-corporated into words like ldquob4rdquo instead of ldquobeforerdquo or ldquo2rdquo for ldquoto too and twordquo

Sometimes you want your texting conver-sation to be kept a secret Itrsquos those types of conversations that you become paranoid of people peaking over your shoulder If thatrsquos the case and someone is hovering just type ldquoposrdquo and your recipient should know that there is a parentperson over your shoulder and the conversation isnrsquot safe anymore

As for capitalizations commas and peri-ods when texting who cares Lowercase letters are the norm for texting and great punctuation isnrsquot expected although if used itrsquos always an improvement Just donrsquot use all uppercase letters or it is considered RUDE SHOUTING and nobody likes get-ting yelled at

Nowadays many people have smart phones allowing them to send emoticons for almost anything such as faces hearts hand gestures and more However the ba-sic self-typed happy and sad faces are still commonly used Send ) or ( to depict your emotions Turn your sad face into rsquo( to show your tears or turn that frown upside down with a cheesy wide smile such as D or P instead You can send a ) to wink at your texting buddy Feel like your faces are missing a nose Insert a hyphen to change your faces into -) or -D etc If you do have a smart phone then sending emoticons in

place of words is always an option Try play-ing different guessing games such as send-ing emoticons to represent song lyrics to stimulate hours of entertainment laughter and fun

The world of cell phones and texting is vir-tually unlimited Phrases faces games and abbreviations are always changing and ex-panding While it may seem impossible to

keep up follow these simple texting ldquorulesrdquo and you can do no wrong But beware you might just outdo the stereotypical teenager and become a texting fiend Irsquove already cre-ated monsters out of my parents although I suppose I should feel pretty lucky to have such ldquohip and cool parentsrdquo according to them So until next month ttyl and ttfn talk to you later and ta ta for now

omg Oh My Gosh o rly Oh Really omw On My Way hmu Hit Me Up tbh To Be Honest hbu How About You n2m Not Too Much jlmk Just Let Me Know wyw Whatever You Want brb Be Right Back nvm Nevermind np No Problem wth What the Heck jk Just Kidding idk or idc I donrsquot know or I donrsquot care

rial about fish consumption over the next few years as the MDH works to get women consuming fish with lower mercury levels

ldquoThere are lots of fish that women can eatrdquo she said McCann recommends women eat smaller fish and fish that are

lower on the food chain like pan fish and crappies Lake her-ring whitefish salmon and perch are also good low-mercury fish choices

To date the Minnesota Department of Health has only done mercury level studies in the Lake Superior basin so itrsquos un-known whether Cook Countyrsquos mercury levels are unusually high compared to the rest of the state said McCann April is Sexual Assault

18 NORTH SHORE HWY 61 APRIL 2013

By Joan Farnam

More than 35000 pounds of recycled materi-als are shipped out of the Cook County Recy-cling Center every week Last year alone 1029 tons or 21 million pounds of solid waste was collected there according to a report that was released last month

Thatrsquos a lot of recycled materials but is only one quarter of the solid waste Cook County generates every year

The recyclable materials are hauled to Har-telrsquosDBJ Disposal Companies in Proctor where they eventually end up in factories pa-per mills steel mills and other firms in Min-nesota across the country and the world to be reused or repurposed

The good news is that all that glass corrugat-ed cardboard newspaper magazines mixed paper steel cans aluminum mixed plastic and lead acid batteries are removed from the countyrsquos solid waste stream And the Recycling Center makes some money out of it

In all the recycling program brought in $48000 in 2012

More than half that revenue came from the Budget Shop ($27000) while aluminum cans accounted for another $18000 said Jeff Sylves-ter operatormanager of the Recycling Center

ldquoItrsquos nice to see a fiscal returnrdquo he said as he gave a tour of the facility recently

The price for recycled materials fluctuates with the stock market he said ldquoLike any com-modity it goes up and down When the econ-omy tanked in lsquo08 it wasnrsquot worth much The markets are improvingrdquo

Sylvester said the only thing thatrsquos not mak-ing much money is glass and used unwear-able clothing The brokerage fee that Hartelrsquos charges for handling glass ($35 a ton) pretty much cancels out what they can get for it he said and therersquos no market at all right now for used clothing

ldquoWe dumpster itrdquo he said ldquoBefore the reces-sion it went to the auto industry but we lost those markets Therersquos less need for it and wersquove not been able to find good viable buyersrdquo

The Recycling Center is looking forward to making more money this year It just started

working with Hartelrsquos in December and it has been profitable he said

When the Recycling Center was first started in 1988 the goal was to substantially reduce the solid waste that was being trucked to land-fills Businesses were encouraged to recycle as were homeowners and the program has met some of its goals

ldquoOur goal was to hit a 35 percent rate for homeownersrdquo he said and that was met last year

But more could be done he added ldquoEvery business recyclesrdquo he said ldquoThey pay by vol-ume so it behooves them to reducerdquo

Homeowners on the other hand can recycle for free but many just donrsquot bother

The figures reflect this In all Cook County generated 4900 tons of solid waste in 2012 and 3636 tons of that ended up in landfills

Curbside pickup of domestic recyclables just isnrsquot feasible he said ldquoThe county canrsquot afford itrdquo

Insteadthe program has set up five rural col-lection points to make recycling easier for both households and businesses

Three of the five rural stations are specifically for businesses to use Collection stations up the Sawbill Trail in Tofte near the old airport and the one in Grand Portage are open for house-hold use as well The Grand Portage site also handles business waste including cardboard he said

ldquoGrand Portage is also paying to pull the trailer They bring it in to usrdquo he said ldquoTheyrsquore good stewards of what theyrsquore doing Their green trailer is always impeccably cared for seldom is anything in the wrong placerdquo

Quality recyclables have to be properly sorted and this requires a lot of hand labor Sylvester said which is the primary reason why the re-cycling center is not open to the public all day every day

The employees need time to sort and bale whatrsquos coming in every day he said The cen-ter has four full-time employees and one has to staff the Budget Shop for half a day so ev-erybody is scrambling to get things ready for shipment in the mornings he said

Typically they will fill a 53-foot tractor-trailer

with material every weekOne of the most time-consuming to pro-

cess and ironically one of the most prof-itable recyclables is mixed paper he said One thing homeowners are encouraged to do is recycle their junk mail and good quality paper because it brings a good price and shouldnrsquot be taking up room in a landfill

Last year 938 tons of mixed paper was generated in the county and only 37 per-cent of that was recycled Sylvester recom-mends that personal documents be shred-ded but all other mixed paper is welcome

Because the recycling program is focused on reducing all solid waste as well as being good stewards of the environment it also has organized hazardous waste and elec-tronic waste collections twice a year takes used oil and oil filters as well as lead batter-ies and purchases aluminum cans at $20 a pound from 1-230 pm each day It also takes yard waste

It does not accept furniture appliances or mattresses These can be disposed of for a fee at Petersonrsquos Disposal

The Recycling Center is open from 11 am to 4 pm Monday through Wednesday and on Friday 11 am to 6 pm Thursday and 9 am to 1 pm Saturday

Sylvester said that his personal goal is to increase homeowner participation in the re-

cycling program to 50 percent Recycling is easy he said ldquoItrsquos free itrsquos the right thing to do and itrsquos environmentally responsible We hope people will start recycling morerdquo

Cook County recycles tons of stuff

The Cook County Recycling Center trucks about 35000 pounds of recyclables every week to its broker in Proctor Manageroperator Jeff Sylvester is in one of the semi-trailers thatrsquos almost ready to go Photos by Joan Farnam

By Shawn Perich

A strange sad irony of this legislative session is that efforts to save wolves from hunting may lead to the deaths of some dogs by trapping Efforts to revisit the regulations regarding the use of body-grip traps which critics say are responsible for killing several dogs every year in Minnesota have been stymied by legislators who say they will not introduce any trapping bills in 2013 for fear that anti-wolf hunting measures may be attached to them

The issue of body-grip traps and dogs is not new For years dog owners have complained often after losing a pet about the le-thal consequences of a dog being inadvertently caught in a body-grip trap which is designed to kill quickly The dog owner may have even been there when the incident occurred but lacked the ability to remove the trap before it killed the dog The Minne-sota DNR has always acknowledged such incidents occur but essentially brushes them off as insignificant on a statewide basis

But dog deaths suddenly became significant a couple of years ago when a handful of dog owners most of whom had lost dogs in body-grip traps decided to do something about the issue They formed a group Dog Lovers 4 Safe Trapping to push for reform of the rules for using body-grip traps Most of the mem-bers are the owners of hunting dogs They emphasize that while they are seeking changes to trapping rules they are not opposed to trapping

ldquoOur group tries very hard to distance ourselves from anti trap-ping and hunting organizationsrdquo says Dog Lovers 4 Safe Trap-ping MN board member and hunter Brett Harberts of Emily

Unlike foothold traps which are designed to capture and hold an animal by its foot body-grips are intended to kill an animal quickly by closing on its neck They are also commonly called ldquoConibearrdquo traps after inventor Frank Conibear While they come in sizes small enough for muskrats to large enough for beavers the mid-sized traps sizes 160 and 220 are of greatest concern to dog owners In Minnesota both traps may be set on the ground either in a baited set or as unbaited set along a trail The beaver-sized 330 body-grip must be at least half-submerged in water which makes it much less likely to inadvertently cap-ture dogs or other unintended animals

Last year the Legislature tweaked body-grip rules so that 160s and 220s used in baited sets must be recessed seven inches from the top of an enclosure or placed at least three feet off the ground Unbaited body-grips must be at least 20 feet from any attractant These statewide rules are significantly less restrictive than rules put in place several years ago to protect the federally threatened Canada lynx in northeastern Minnesota According to the lynx rules any 160 or 220 placed on the ground must be set in a cubby with the trap a minimum of seven inches from the opening The opening may not exceed 50 square inches which is a 7- by 7-inch square Unbaited trail sets are not allowed

Here in the northeast Irsquove heard few if any reports of dogs

being killed in body-grips since the lynx rules were adopted The same cannot be said of the statewide rule The Dog Lovers 4 Safe Trapping MN website notes the organization documented 13 dogs killed between Oct 20 and Dec 31 2012 the first trap-ping season for which the new statewide rules were in effect An additional 7 dogs were killed between Jan 1 and Mar 15 2012 before the rules were enacted This means a total of 20 dogs were killed by traps in Minnesota during 2012

Harberts says in contrast Wisconsin has reported very few dog deaths due to body-grips since changing its trapping rules in the

Spring forward with Lutsen Resortrsquos ldquoSpring Food amp Wine Weekendrdquo April 5-6 and savor the early harvest

This outstanding culinary event one of two exciting wine dinners held in the county each spring will highlight the harvest at this time of year said Rob Wells executive chef at Lutsen Resort

Wells and guest chef Mike DeCamp chef de cuisine at La Belle Vie in Minneapolis are working together to create a truly won-derful food experi-ence with the fresh-est ingredients of the season

Think lamb and leeks newly harvested greens wild mush-rooms and spring onions and then sit back and let the chefs decide how to create with them

Thatrsquos about how this food and wine week-end has evolved Wells said

ldquoWe came up with the basic idea ndash spring harvestrdquo he said ldquoThings are just coming into season right now and that focuses us on what we want to dordquo

The two chefs decided they would work to-gether to create tasty hors drsquooeuvres for the re-ception and wine tasting on Friday night and then alternate courses for the formal 6-course dinner with wine pairings on Saturday night

DeCamp who is an award-winning chef and a finalist in the James Beard national chef con-test this year for Best Chef-Midwest will do the first third and fifth courses Wells will do the second fourth and dessert

ldquoFor the second course ndash salads and soups

ndash leeks popped into my mind immediatelyrdquo Wells said ldquoTheyrsquore coming out of the ground right now ndash so leek souprdquo

Early vegetables like pea shoots and wild mushrooms were a natural for his fourth course and dessert includes mint a reliable early spring taste

The other half of dinner is the wine pairings that will complement and expand the food

experienceAndrew Beavers

wine and beverage manager at Lutsen Resort was given the menu and began re-searching what wines would be spectacular with these foods

Beavers said he de-cided to go with Or-egon wines for the six-course meal

ldquoI had a taste of the Oregon wine portfo-lio and it was wonder-fulrdquo he said ldquoItrsquos such a great region for this time of year The food is going to be spring and the dishes will be light I think these wines will play well with thatrdquo

Beavers said the Friday evening hors-

drsquooeuvres event will feature ldquoreally nice high-end hors drsquooeuvres and wersquoll taste from four to six wines Itrsquos more of a causal open feelrdquo

The Saturday night event is formalldquoI give a brief description of each wine before

the pairingrdquo he said ldquoThen the chef will come out and speak about what they did with a par-ticular course Itrsquos really funrdquo

The wines he chooses are not typically avail-able at a neighborhood beer store but larger wine shops will carry them and they can be found online he said

ldquoWhat I really focus on when Irsquom trying to put

late 1990s At the time Wisconsin was among several states that modified trapping rules fol-lowing the national development of Best Man-agement Practices (BMPs) for trapping Min-nesota chose not to incorporate BMPs into its trapping regulations In fact aside the statersquos trapping regulations have been largely un-changed for decades

The same could be said of the mindset of the statersquos wildlife bureaucracy and state trapping leaders both of whom have been reluctant to take the concerns of dog owners seriously per-haps from a fear that by doing so they would be taking a step down a slippery slope toward and eventual all-out trapping ban

The problem is Minnesota has changed In 1980 Minnesotarsquos population was just over 4 million In 2012 the population was estimated at nearly 54 million During that time frame wersquove seen a tremendous outmigration to rural areas especially in the lakes region by people seeking a better quality of life Very often that quality of life involves spending more time outdoors Trappers are no longer alone They are now joined by bird hunters using pointers and retrievers hounds used to pursue raccoons coyotes rabbits and other critters No less im-portant are the many rural dwellers who take their dogs along when hiking skiing and winter camping Itrsquos fair to say none of these folks wants their dog to be at risk of being killed in a trap

In recent years the Minnesota Trappers Association has run an advertisement in the state hunting regulations booklet showing how to remove an animal from a body-grip trap From my own experience us-ing body-grips I donrsquot believe the Average Joe or Jill would have the know-how or physical strength to quickly remove a

body-grip from their petHarberts says Dog Lovers 4 Safe Trapping

MN may have been stymied by the 2013 Leg-islature but they arenrsquot going away until dogs are safe from body-grip traps It wonrsquot be easy to change existing rules because trappers and wildlife bureaucrats are reluctant to give up body-grip trapping techniques that are effec-tive and convenient for trappers Harberts says his group and the Minnesota Trail Hound As-sociation continue to have cordial discussions with trappers on the issue but have made little progress toward resolution Until they do so more folks are likely to lose their hunting dogs and family pets

Killing 20 dogs in a year is unacceptable especially when nearly all of those losses are preventable Itrsquos time for the DNR to act like professional wildlife managers and address the issue The agencyrsquos goal should be to have zero dogs killed in body-grips The DNR needs to take the appropriate steps to achieve that goal through a combination of conflict resolution and new trapping rules While making chang-es to protect dogs may inconvenience trappers there doesnrsquot appear to be any evidence from Wisconsin or other states that doing so will have any effect on the fur harvest Itrsquos past time for Minnesota to make the changes necessary to protect dogs from body-grip traps

By Ada Igoe

The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) has partnered with Sawtooth Mountain Clinic and the Grand Portage Band of Lake Superior Chippewa to conduct a study of 500 Cook County women of childbearing age to help determine why Cook County newborns exhibit high levels of mercury The study is funded by a grant from the Environmental Protection Agency

This new study comes on the heels of a 2007-2011 study of mercury levels in 1465 newborns in the Lake Superior Basin in which MDH participated along with the Wisconsin and Michi-gan departments of health That study found that 10 percent of newborns in the Minnesota region of the study have mercury levels above the EPArsquos safe level with a particularly high concen-tration of high mercury levels in Cook County newborns

Because developing nervous systems are particularly vulner-able to the harmful effects of mercury the MDH wanted to work with Cook County clinics to see if they could reduce newborn mercury levels said Pat McCann of the MDH who is the lead on the Cook County study Fetal exposure to methylmercury (the type of mercury found in fish) can lead to issues with cognition memory attention language and fine motor and visual spatial skills in children

ldquoOne good way to help with mercury levels is to work with health care providers since thatrsquos where women get most of their health informationrdquo said McCann

This new study will allow the MDH to do just that The exact role of Sawtooth Mountain Clinic and the Grand Portage band has not yet been exactly determined However McCann said the study will work to determine why Cook County newborns have high levels of mercury and work to better educate expectant mothers about which types of fish are safe to eat

McCann said they plan to begin enrolling Cook County women in the study in January 2014 and will continue to enroll women for about a year Women who qualify for the study will be asked to participate when they go in for a regularly scheduled appointment

At this point in the studyrsquos development McCann said she believes participants will be asked to complete a questionnaire about their fish-eating habits and also submit a blood sample The blood sample will be used to test participantsrsquo levels of mer-cury and Omega 3 fatty acids to help determine each partici-pantrsquos level of fish consumption

Ideally at the end of the study participantsrsquo blood sample will show a decrease in mercury But the same levels of the healthy Omega 3 fatty acids said McCann

ldquoWe want women to keep eating fishrdquo McCann said Cook County residents will likely see more educational mate-

Irsquove grown up in a society where technol-ogy is always evolving So knowing how to use a computer cell phone iPod or other electronic device has always seemed to come naturally Yet it can stump those de-cades older than me

While my dad can tear an airplane apart and put it back together figuring out how to make a cell phone call seems to be too dif-ficult for him let alone send a text message And even though my mom taught herself how to text she goes overboard and tries to shorten every word possible making it a game to try and decipher what shersquos really saying

Now being an English Major Irsquom pretty particular about my grammar but even I slip into a different lingo sometimes when texting If yoursquore going to keep up with young folks who can text an entire para-graph quicker than you can say ldquolaughing out loudrdquo then yoursquore going to have to know some basic texting terms

First off while most people know ldquololrdquo or ldquolaughing out loudrdquo there are many other variations of laughing You could be ldquoroflrdquo or ldquorolling on the floor laughingrdquo Or you could be ldquolmaordquo aka ldquolaughing my a off rdquo You could even combine the two for an epic ldquoroflmaordquo Another route would be to simply use haha or hehe Depending on how many harsquos or hersquos are used will determine the funny factor for the recipient so choose appropriately

Many words can be shortened to a single letter saving you precious texting time and letting you text much more rapidly Such words include ldquoyrdquo instead of ldquowhyrdquo ldquorrdquo vs ldquoarerdquo ldquocrdquo for ldquoseeseardquo ldquourdquo in place of ldquoyourdquo and many more Numbers can also be in-corporated into words like ldquob4rdquo instead of ldquobeforerdquo or ldquo2rdquo for ldquoto too and twordquo

Sometimes you want your texting conver-sation to be kept a secret Itrsquos those types of conversations that you become paranoid of people peaking over your shoulder If thatrsquos the case and someone is hovering just type ldquoposrdquo and your recipient should know that there is a parentperson over your shoulder and the conversation isnrsquot safe anymore

As for capitalizations commas and peri-ods when texting who cares Lowercase letters are the norm for texting and great punctuation isnrsquot expected although if used itrsquos always an improvement Just donrsquot use all uppercase letters or it is considered RUDE SHOUTING and nobody likes get-ting yelled at

Nowadays many people have smart phones allowing them to send emoticons for almost anything such as faces hearts hand gestures and more However the ba-sic self-typed happy and sad faces are still commonly used Send ) or ( to depict your emotions Turn your sad face into rsquo( to show your tears or turn that frown upside down with a cheesy wide smile such as D or P instead You can send a ) to wink at your texting buddy Feel like your faces are missing a nose Insert a hyphen to change your faces into -) or -D etc If you do have a smart phone then sending emoticons in

place of words is always an option Try play-ing different guessing games such as send-ing emoticons to represent song lyrics to stimulate hours of entertainment laughter and fun

The world of cell phones and texting is vir-tually unlimited Phrases faces games and abbreviations are always changing and ex-panding While it may seem impossible to

keep up follow these simple texting ldquorulesrdquo and you can do no wrong But beware you might just outdo the stereotypical teenager and become a texting fiend Irsquove already cre-ated monsters out of my parents although I suppose I should feel pretty lucky to have such ldquohip and cool parentsrdquo according to them So until next month ttyl and ttfn talk to you later and ta ta for now

omg Oh My Gosh o rly Oh Really omw On My Way hmu Hit Me Up tbh To Be Honest hbu How About You n2m Not Too Much jlmk Just Let Me Know wyw Whatever You Want brb Be Right Back nvm Nevermind np No Problem wth What the Heck jk Just Kidding idk or idc I donrsquot know or I donrsquot care

ldquoWe want women to keep eating fishrdquo McCann said Cook County residents will likely see more educational mate-

rial about fish consumption over the next few years as the MDH works to get women consuming fish with lower mercury levels

ldquoThere are lots of fish that women can eatrdquo she said McCann recommends women eat smaller fish and fish that are

lower on the food chain like pan fish and crappies Lake her-ring whitefish salmon and perch are also good low-mercury fish choices

To date the Minnesota Department of Health has only done mercury level studies in the Lake Superior basin so itrsquos un-known whether Cook Countyrsquos mercury levels are unusually high compared to the rest of the state said McCann April is Sexual Assault

18 NORTH SHORE HWY 61 APRIL 2013

By Joan Farnam

More than 35000 pounds of recycled materi-als are shipped out of the Cook County Recy-cling Center every week Last year alone 1029 tons or 21 million pounds of solid waste was collected there according to a report that was released last month

Thatrsquos a lot of recycled materials but is only one quarter of the solid waste Cook County generates every year

The recyclable materials are hauled to Har-telrsquosDBJ Disposal Companies in Proctor where they eventually end up in factories pa-per mills steel mills and other firms in Min-nesota across the country and the world to be reused or repurposed

The good news is that all that glass corrugat-ed cardboard newspaper magazines mixed paper steel cans aluminum mixed plastic and lead acid batteries are removed from the countyrsquos solid waste stream And the Recycling Center makes some money out of it

In all the recycling program brought in $48000 in 2012

More than half that revenue came from the Budget Shop ($27000) while aluminum cans accounted for another $18000 said Jeff Sylves-ter operatormanager of the Recycling Center

ldquoItrsquos nice to see a fiscal returnrdquo he said as he gave a tour of the facility recently

The price for recycled materials fluctuates with the stock market he said ldquoLike any com-modity it goes up and down When the econ-omy tanked in lsquo08 it wasnrsquot worth much The markets are improvingrdquo

Sylvester said the only thing thatrsquos not mak-ing much money is glass and used unwear-able clothing The brokerage fee that Hartelrsquos charges for handling glass ($35 a ton) pretty much cancels out what they can get for it he said and therersquos no market at all right now for used clothing

ldquoWe dumpster itrdquo he said ldquoBefore the reces-sion it went to the auto industry but we lost those markets Therersquos less need for it and wersquove not been able to find good viable buyersrdquo

The Recycling Center is looking forward to making more money this year It just started

working with Hartelrsquos in December and it has been profitable he said

When the Recycling Center was first started in 1988 the goal was to substantially reduce the solid waste that was being trucked to land-fills Businesses were encouraged to recycle as were homeowners and the program has met some of its goals

ldquoOur goal was to hit a 35 percent rate for homeownersrdquo he said and that was met last year

But more could be done he added ldquoEvery business recyclesrdquo he said ldquoThey pay by vol-ume so it behooves them to reducerdquo

Homeowners on the other hand can recycle for free but many just donrsquot bother

The figures reflect this In all Cook County generated 4900 tons of solid waste in 2012 and 3636 tons of that ended up in landfills

Curbside pickup of domestic recyclables just isnrsquot feasible he said ldquoThe county canrsquot afford itrdquo

Insteadthe program has set up five rural col-lection points to make recycling easier for both households and businesses

Three of the five rural stations are specifically for businesses to use Collection stations up the Sawbill Trail in Tofte near the old airport and the one in Grand Portage are open for house-hold use as well The Grand Portage site also handles business waste including cardboard he said

ldquoGrand Portage is also paying to pull the trailer They bring it in to usrdquo he said ldquoTheyrsquore good stewards of what theyrsquore doing Their green trailer is always impeccably cared for seldom is anything in the wrong placerdquo

Quality recyclables have to be properly sorted and this requires a lot of hand labor Sylvester said which is the primary reason why the re-cycling center is not open to the public all day every day

The employees need time to sort and bale whatrsquos coming in every day he said The cen-ter has four full-time employees and one has to staff the Budget Shop for half a day so ev-erybody is scrambling to get things ready for shipment in the mornings he said

Typically they will fill a 53-foot tractor-trailer

with material every weekOne of the most time-consuming to pro-

cess and ironically one of the most prof-itable recyclables is mixed paper he said One thing homeowners are encouraged to do is recycle their junk mail and good quality paper because it brings a good price and shouldnrsquot be taking up room in a landfill

Last year 938 tons of mixed paper was generated in the county and only 37 per-cent of that was recycled Sylvester recom-mends that personal documents be shred-ded but all other mixed paper is welcome

Because the recycling program is focused on reducing all solid waste as well as being good stewards of the environment it also has organized hazardous waste and elec-tronic waste collections twice a year takes used oil and oil filters as well as lead batter-ies and purchases aluminum cans at $20 a pound from 1-230 pm each day It also takes yard waste

It does not accept furniture appliances or mattresses These can be disposed of for a fee at Petersonrsquos Disposal

The Recycling Center is open from 11 am to 4 pm Monday through Wednesday and on Friday 11 am to 6 pm Thursday and 9 am to 1 pm Saturday

Sylvester said that his personal goal is to increase homeowner participation in the re-

cycling program to 50 percent Recycling is easy he said ldquoItrsquos free itrsquos the right thing to do and itrsquos environmentally responsible We hope people will start recycling morerdquo

Cook County recycles tons of stuff

The Cook County Recycling Center trucks about 35000 pounds of recyclables every week to its broker in Proctor Manageroperator Jeff Sylvester is in one of the semi-trailers thatrsquos almost ready to go Photos by Joan Farnam

Spring forward with Lutsen Resortrsquos ldquoSpring Food amp Wine Weekendrdquo April 5-6 and savor the early harvest

This outstanding culinary event one of two exciting wine dinners held in the county each spring will highlight the harvest at this time of year said Rob Wells executive chef at Lutsen Resort

Wells and guest chef Mike DeCamp chef de cuisine at La Belle Vie in Minneapolis are working together to create a truly won-derful food experi-ence with the fresh-est ingredients of the season

Think lamb and leeks newly harvested greens wild mush-rooms and spring onions and then sit back and let the chefs decide how to create with them

Thatrsquos about how this food and wine week-end has evolved Wells said

ldquoWe came up with the basic idea ndash spring harvestrdquo he said ldquoThings are just coming into season right now and that focuses us on what we want to dordquo

The two chefs decided they would work to-gether to create tasty hors drsquooeuvres for the re-ception and wine tasting on Friday night and then alternate courses for the formal 6-course dinner with wine pairings on Saturday night

DeCamp who is an award-winning chef and a finalist in the James Beard national chef con-test this year for Best Chef-Midwest will do the first third and fifth courses Wells will do the second fourth and dessert

ldquoFor the second course ndash salads and soups

ndash leeks popped into my mind immediatelyrdquo Wells said ldquoTheyrsquore coming out of the ground right now ndash so leek souprdquo

Early vegetables like pea shoots and wild mushrooms were a natural for his fourth course and dessert includes mint a reliable early spring taste

The other half of dinner is the wine pairings that will complement and expand the food

experienceAndrew Beavers

wine and beverage manager at Lutsen Resort was given the menu and began re-searching what wines would be spectacular with these foods

Beavers said he de-cided to go with Or-egon wines for the six-course meal

ldquoI had a taste of the Oregon wine portfo-lio and it was wonder-fulrdquo he said ldquoItrsquos such a great region for this time of year The food is going to be spring and the dishes will be light I think these wines will play well with thatrdquo

Beavers said the Friday evening hors-

drsquooeuvres event will feature ldquoreally nice high-end hors drsquooeuvres and wersquoll taste from four to six wines Itrsquos more of a causal open feelrdquo

The Saturday night event is formalldquoI give a brief description of each wine before

the pairingrdquo he said ldquoThen the chef will come out and speak about what they did with a par-ticular course Itrsquos really funrdquo

The wines he chooses are not typically avail-able at a neighborhood beer store but larger wine shops will carry them and they can be found online he said

ldquoWhat I really focus on when Irsquom trying to put

ABOVE The Spring Food amp Wine Lovers Weekend at Lutsen Resort features great food wine and views of Lake Superior LEFT There are lots of wine glasses on the table for this event Photos by Mark Lindsey

Herersquos the complete menu

bull Serrano ham with almond milk toasted sesame and espelette

bull Leek soup with sliced truffles frizzled leeks leek oil

bull Poached sturgeon with morcilla toasted buckwheat and spring onion

bull Spring vegetable gnocchi wild mush-rooms pea shoots English pea coulis

bull Leg of lamb with summer squash black garlic braised mustard greens

bull Chocolate ricotta pastry strawberry kiwi relish cregraveme anglaise mint

this together is getting wines that people donrsquot have in their house We want it to be special ndash evocative of a wine tasting very experientialrdquo

Guests are welcome to stay at the resort for the weekend so they donrsquot have to drive Wells said

ldquoWe encourage people to stay We do shuttles for people And we generally do these dinners on nights when we are slower so there are plen-ty of rooms availablerdquo

People come year after year for the event he said

ldquoThey come to Lutsen and have a really nice wine dinner and make a vacation out of itrdquo

Bluefin By Resort also will hold a Food amp Wine Lovers Weekend May 3-4 featuring Chef Judi Barsness The event will feature a four-course dinner with wine pairings on Friday night a wine tasting on Saturday af-ternoon and a five-course dinner with wine pairings on Saturday night

Stay tuned for details next month

late 1990s At the time Wisconsin was among several states that modified trapping rules fol-lowing the national development of Best Man-agement Practices (BMPs) for trapping Min-nesota chose not to incorporate BMPs into its trapping regulations In fact aside the statersquos trapping regulations have been largely un-changed for decades

The same could be said of the mindset of the statersquos wildlife bureaucracy and state trapping leaders both of whom have been reluctant to take the concerns of dog owners seriously per-haps from a fear that by doing so they would be taking a step down a slippery slope toward and eventual all-out trapping ban

The problem is Minnesota has changed In 1980 Minnesotarsquos population was just over 4 million In 2012 the population was estimated at nearly 54 million During that time frame wersquove seen a tremendous outmigration to rural areas especially in the lakes region by people seeking a better quality of life Very often that quality of life involves spending more time outdoors Trappers are no longer alone They are now joined by bird hunters using pointers and retrievers hounds used to pursue raccoons coyotes rabbits and other critters No less im-portant are the many rural dwellers who take their dogs along when hiking skiing and winter camping Itrsquos fair to say none of these folks wants their dog to be at risk of being killed in a trap

In recent years the Minnesota Trappers Association has run an advertisement in the state hunting regulations booklet showing how to remove an animal from a body-grip trap From my own experience us-ing body-grips I donrsquot believe the Average Joe or Jill would have the know-how or physical strength to quickly remove a

body-grip from their petHarberts says Dog Lovers 4 Safe Trapping

MN may have been stymied by the 2013 Leg-islature but they arenrsquot going away until dogs are safe from body-grip traps It wonrsquot be easy to change existing rules because trappers and wildlife bureaucrats are reluctant to give up body-grip trapping techniques that are effec-tive and convenient for trappers Harberts says his group and the Minnesota Trail Hound As-sociation continue to have cordial discussions with trappers on the issue but have made little progress toward resolution Until they do so more folks are likely to lose their hunting dogs and family pets

Killing 20 dogs in a year is unacceptable especially when nearly all of those losses are preventable Itrsquos time for the DNR to act like professional wildlife managers and address the issue The agencyrsquos goal should be to have zero dogs killed in body-grips The DNR needs to take the appropriate steps to achieve that goal through a combination of conflict resolution and new trapping rules While making chang-es to protect dogs may inconvenience trappers there doesnrsquot appear to be any evidence from Wisconsin or other states that doing so will have any effect on the fur harvest Itrsquos past time for Minnesota to make the changes necessary to protect dogs from body-grip traps

The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) has partnered with Sawtooth Mountain Clinic and the Grand Portage Band of Lake Superior Chippewa to conduct a study of 500 Cook County women of childbearing age to help determine why Cook County newborns exhibit high levels of mercury The study is funded by a grant from the Environmental Protection Agency

This new study comes on the heels of a 2007-2011 study of mercury levels in 1465 newborns in the Lake Superior Basin in which MDH participated along with the Wisconsin and Michi-gan departments of health That study found that 10 percent of newborns in the Minnesota region of the study have mercury levels above the EPArsquos safe level with a particularly high concen-tration of high mercury levels in Cook County newborns

Because developing nervous systems are particularly vulner-able to the harmful effects of mercury the MDH wanted to work with Cook County clinics to see if they could reduce newborn mercury levels said Pat McCann of the MDH who is the lead on the Cook County study Fetal exposure to methylmercury (the type of mercury found in fish) can lead to issues with cognition memory attention language and fine motor and visual spatial skills in children

ldquoOne good way to help with mercury levels is to work with health care providers since thatrsquos where women get most of their health informationrdquo said McCann

This new study will allow the MDH to do just that The exact role of Sawtooth Mountain Clinic and the Grand Portage band has not yet been exactly determined However McCann said the study will work to determine why Cook County newborns have high levels of mercury and work to better educate expectant mothers about which types of fish are safe to eat

McCann said they plan to begin enrolling Cook County women in the study in January 2014 and will continue to enroll women for about a year Women who qualify for the study will be asked to participate when they go in for a regularly scheduled appointment

At this point in the studyrsquos development McCann said she believes participants will be asked to complete a questionnaire about their fish-eating habits and also submit a blood sample The blood sample will be used to test participantsrsquo levels of mer-cury and Omega 3 fatty acids to help determine each partici-pantrsquos level of fish consumption

Ideally at the end of the study participantsrsquo blood sample will show a decrease in mercury But the same levels of the healthy Omega 3 fatty acids said McCann

ldquoWe want women to keep eating fishrdquo McCann said Cook County residents will likely see more educational mate-

Irsquove grown up in a society where technol-ogy is always evolving So knowing how to use a computer cell phone iPod or other electronic device has always seemed to come naturally Yet it can stump those de-cades older than me

While my dad can tear an airplane apart and put it back together figuring out how to make a cell phone call seems to be too dif-ficult for him let alone send a text message And even though my mom taught herself how to text she goes overboard and tries to shorten every word possible making it a game to try and decipher what shersquos really saying

Now being an English Major Irsquom pretty particular about my grammar but even I slip into a different lingo sometimes when texting If yoursquore going to keep up with young folks who can text an entire para-graph quicker than you can say ldquolaughing out loudrdquo then yoursquore going to have to know some basic texting terms

First off while most people know ldquololrdquo or ldquolaughing out loudrdquo there are many other variations of laughing You could be ldquoroflrdquo or ldquorolling on the floor laughingrdquo Or you could be ldquolmaordquo aka ldquolaughing my a off rdquo You could even combine the two for an epic ldquoroflmaordquo Another route would be to simply use haha or hehe Depending on how many harsquos or hersquos are used will determine the funny factor for the recipient so choose appropriately

Many words can be shortened to a single letter saving you precious texting time and letting you text much more rapidly Such words include ldquoyrdquo instead of ldquowhyrdquo ldquorrdquo vs ldquoarerdquo ldquocrdquo for ldquoseeseardquo ldquourdquo in place of ldquoyourdquo and many more Numbers can also be in-corporated into words like ldquob4rdquo instead of ldquobeforerdquo or ldquo2rdquo for ldquoto too and twordquo

Sometimes you want your texting conver-sation to be kept a secret Itrsquos those types of conversations that you become paranoid of people peaking over your shoulder If thatrsquos the case and someone is hovering just type ldquoposrdquo and your recipient should know that there is a parentperson over your shoulder and the conversation isnrsquot safe anymore

As for capitalizations commas and peri-ods when texting who cares Lowercase letters are the norm for texting and great punctuation isnrsquot expected although if used itrsquos always an improvement Just donrsquot use all uppercase letters or it is considered RUDE SHOUTING and nobody likes get-ting yelled at

Nowadays many people have smart phones allowing them to send emoticons for almost anything such as faces hearts hand gestures and more However the ba-sic self-typed happy and sad faces are still commonly used Send ) or ( to depict your emotions Turn your sad face into rsquo( to show your tears or turn that frown upside down with a cheesy wide smile such as D or P instead You can send a ) to wink at your texting buddy Feel like your faces are missing a nose Insert a hyphen to change your faces into -) or -D etc If you do have a smart phone then sending emoticons in

place of words is always an option Try play-ing different guessing games such as send-ing emoticons to represent song lyrics to stimulate hours of entertainment laughter and fun

The world of cell phones and texting is vir-tually unlimited Phrases faces games and abbreviations are always changing and ex-panding While it may seem impossible to

keep up follow these simple texting ldquorulesrdquo and you can do no wrong But beware you might just outdo the stereotypical teenager and become a texting fiend Irsquove already cre-ated monsters out of my parents although I suppose I should feel pretty lucky to have such ldquohip and cool parentsrdquo according to them So until next month ttyl and ttfn talk to you later and ta ta for now

APRIL 2013 NORTH SHORE HWY 61 15

By Ada Igoe

The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) has partnered with Sawtooth Mountain Clinic and the Grand Portage Band of Lake Superior Chippewa to conduct a study of 500 Cook County women of childbearing age to help determine why Cook County newborns exhibit high levels of mercury The study is funded by a grant from the Environmental Protection Agency

This new study comes on the heels of a 2007-2011 study of mercury levels in 1465 newborns in the Lake Superior Basin in which MDH participated along with the Wisconsin and Michi-gan departments of health That study found that 10 percent of newborns in the Minnesota region of the study have mercury levels above the EPArsquos safe level with a particularly high concen-tration of high mercury levels in Cook County newborns

Because developing nervous systems are particularly vulner-able to the harmful effects of mercury the MDH wanted to work with Cook County clinics to see if they could reduce newborn mercury levels said Pat McCann of the MDH who is the lead on the Cook County study Fetal exposure to methylmercury (the type of mercury found in fish) can lead to issues with cognition memory attention language and fine motor and visual spatial skills in children

ldquoOne good way to help with mercury levels is to work with health care providers since thatrsquos where women get most of their health informationrdquo said McCann

This new study will allow the MDH to do just that The exact role of Sawtooth Mountain Clinic and the Grand Portage band has not yet been exactly determined However McCann said the study will work to determine why Cook County newborns have high levels of mercury and work to better educate expectant mothers about which types of fish are safe to eat

McCann said they plan to begin enrolling Cook County women in the study in January 2014 and will continue to enroll women for about a year Women who qualify for the study will be asked to participate when they go in for a regularly scheduled appointment

At this point in the studyrsquos development McCann said she believes participants will be asked to complete a questionnaire about their fish-eating habits and also submit a blood sample The blood sample will be used to test participantsrsquo levels of mer-cury and Omega 3 fatty acids to help determine each partici-pantrsquos level of fish consumption

Ideally at the end of the study participantsrsquo blood sample will show a decrease in mercury But the same levels of the healthy Omega 3 fatty acids said McCann

ldquoWe want women to keep eating fishrdquo McCann said Cook County residents will likely see more educational mate-

rial about fish consumption over the next few years as the MDH works to get women consuming fish with lower mercury levels

ldquoThere are lots of fish that women can eatrdquo she said McCann recommends women eat smaller fish and fish that are

lower on the food chain like pan fish and crappies Lake her-ring whitefish salmon and perch are also good low-mercury fish choices

To date the Minnesota Department of Health has only done mercury level studies in the Lake Superior basin so itrsquos un-known whether Cook Countyrsquos mercury levels are unusually high compared to the rest of the state said McCann April is Sexual Assault

18 NORTH SHORE HWY 61 APRIL 2013

By Joan Farnam

More than 35000 pounds of recycled materi-als are shipped out of the Cook County Recy-cling Center every week Last year alone 1029 tons or 21 million pounds of solid waste was collected there according to a report that was released last month

Thatrsquos a lot of recycled materials but is only one quarter of the solid waste Cook County generates every year

The recyclable materials are hauled to Har-telrsquosDBJ Disposal Companies in Proctor where they eventually end up in factories pa-per mills steel mills and other firms in Min-nesota across the country and the world to be reused or repurposed

The good news is that all that glass corrugat-ed cardboard newspaper magazines mixed paper steel cans aluminum mixed plastic and lead acid batteries are removed from the countyrsquos solid waste stream And the Recycling Center makes some money out of it

In all the recycling program brought in $48000 in 2012

More than half that revenue came from the Budget Shop ($27000) while aluminum cans accounted for another $18000 said Jeff Sylves-ter operatormanager of the Recycling Center

ldquoItrsquos nice to see a fiscal returnrdquo he said as he gave a tour of the facility recently

The price for recycled materials fluctuates with the stock market he said ldquoLike any com-modity it goes up and down When the econ-omy tanked in lsquo08 it wasnrsquot worth much The markets are improvingrdquo

Sylvester said the only thing thatrsquos not mak-ing much money is glass and used unwear-able clothing The brokerage fee that Hartelrsquos charges for handling glass ($35 a ton) pretty much cancels out what they can get for it he said and therersquos no market at all right now for used clothing

ldquoWe dumpster itrdquo he said ldquoBefore the reces-sion it went to the auto industry but we lost those markets Therersquos less need for it and wersquove not been able to find good viable buyersrdquo

The Recycling Center is looking forward to making more money this year It just started

working with Hartelrsquos in December and it has been profitable he said

When the Recycling Center was first started in 1988 the goal was to substantially reduce the solid waste that was being trucked to land-fills Businesses were encouraged to recycle as were homeowners and the program has met some of its goals

ldquoOur goal was to hit a 35 percent rate for homeownersrdquo he said and that was met last year

But more could be done he added ldquoEvery business recyclesrdquo he said ldquoThey pay by vol-ume so it behooves them to reducerdquo

Homeowners on the other hand can recycle for free but many just donrsquot bother

The figures reflect this In all Cook County generated 4900 tons of solid waste in 2012 and 3636 tons of that ended up in landfills

Curbside pickup of domestic recyclables just isnrsquot feasible he said ldquoThe county canrsquot afford itrdquo

Insteadthe program has set up five rural col-lection points to make recycling easier for both households and businesses

Three of the five rural stations are specifically for businesses to use Collection stations up the Sawbill Trail in Tofte near the old airport and the one in Grand Portage are open for house-hold use as well The Grand Portage site also handles business waste including cardboard he said

ldquoGrand Portage is also paying to pull the trailer They bring it in to usrdquo he said ldquoTheyrsquore good stewards of what theyrsquore doing Their green trailer is always impeccably cared for seldom is anything in the wrong placerdquo

Quality recyclables have to be properly sorted and this requires a lot of hand labor Sylvester said which is the primary reason why the re-cycling center is not open to the public all day every day

The employees need time to sort and bale whatrsquos coming in every day he said The cen-ter has four full-time employees and one has to staff the Budget Shop for half a day so ev-erybody is scrambling to get things ready for shipment in the mornings he said

Typically they will fill a 53-foot tractor-trailer

with material every weekOne of the most time-consuming to pro-

cess and ironically one of the most prof-itable recyclables is mixed paper he said One thing homeowners are encouraged to do is recycle their junk mail and good quality paper because it brings a good price and shouldnrsquot be taking up room in a landfill

Last year 938 tons of mixed paper was generated in the county and only 37 per-cent of that was recycled Sylvester recom-mends that personal documents be shred-ded but all other mixed paper is welcome

Because the recycling program is focused on reducing all solid waste as well as being good stewards of the environment it also has organized hazardous waste and elec-tronic waste collections twice a year takes used oil and oil filters as well as lead batter-ies and purchases aluminum cans at $20 a pound from 1-230 pm each day It also takes yard waste

It does not accept furniture appliances or mattresses These can be disposed of for a fee at Petersonrsquos Disposal

The Recycling Center is open from 11 am to 4 pm Monday through Wednesday and on Friday 11 am to 6 pm Thursday and 9 am to 1 pm Saturday

Sylvester said that his personal goal is to increase homeowner participation in the re-

cycling program to 50 percent Recycling is easy he said ldquoItrsquos free itrsquos the right thing to do and itrsquos environmentally responsible We hope people will start recycling morerdquo

Cook County recycles tons of stuff

The Cook County Recycling Center trucks about 35000 pounds of recyclables every week to its broker in Proctor Manageroperator Jeff Sylvester is in one of the semi-trailers thatrsquos almost ready to go Photos by Joan Farnam

late 1990s At the time Wisconsin was among several states that modified trapping rules fol-lowing the national development of Best Man-agement Practices (BMPs) for trapping Min-nesota chose not to incorporate BMPs into its trapping regulations In fact aside the statersquos trapping regulations have been largely un-changed for decades

The same could be said of the mindset of the statersquos wildlife bureaucracy and state trapping leaders both of whom have been reluctant to take the concerns of dog owners seriously per-haps from a fear that by doing so they would be taking a step down a slippery slope toward and eventual all-out trapping ban

The problem is Minnesota has changed In 1980 Minnesotarsquos population was just over 4 million In 2012 the population was estimated at nearly 54 million During that time frame wersquove seen a tremendous outmigration to rural areas especially in the lakes region by people seeking a better quality of life Very often that quality of life involves spending more time outdoors Trappers are no longer alone They are now joined by bird hunters using pointers and retrievers hounds used to pursue raccoons coyotes rabbits and other critters No less im-portant are the many rural dwellers who take their dogs along when hiking skiing and winter camping Itrsquos fair to say none of these folks wants their dog to be at risk of being killed in a trap

In recent years the Minnesota Trappers Association has run an advertisement in the state hunting regulations booklet showing how to remove an animal from a body-grip trap From my own experience us-ing body-grips I donrsquot believe the Average Joe or Jill would have the know-how or physical strength to quickly remove a

body-grip from their petHarberts says Dog Lovers 4 Safe Trapping

MN may have been stymied by the 2013 Leg-islature but they arenrsquot going away until dogs are safe from body-grip traps It wonrsquot be easy to change existing rules because trappers and wildlife bureaucrats are reluctant to give up body-grip trapping techniques that are effec-tive and convenient for trappers Harberts says his group and the Minnesota Trail Hound As-sociation continue to have cordial discussions with trappers on the issue but have made little progress toward resolution Until they do so more folks are likely to lose their hunting dogs and family pets

Killing 20 dogs in a year is unacceptable especially when nearly all of those losses are preventable Itrsquos time for the DNR to act like professional wildlife managers and address the issue The agencyrsquos goal should be to have zero dogs killed in body-grips The DNR needs to take the appropriate steps to achieve that goal through a combination of conflict resolution and new trapping rules While making chang-es to protect dogs may inconvenience trappers there doesnrsquot appear to be any evidence from Wisconsin or other states that doing so will have any effect on the fur harvest Itrsquos past time for Minnesota to make the changes necessary to protect dogs from body-grip traps

The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) has partnered with Sawtooth Mountain Clinic and the Grand Portage Band of Lake Superior Chippewa to conduct a study of 500 Cook County women of childbearing age to help determine why Cook County newborns exhibit high levels of mercury The study is funded by a grant from the Environmental Protection Agency

This new study comes on the heels of a 2007-2011 study of mercury levels in 1465 newborns in the Lake Superior Basin in which MDH participated along with the Wisconsin and Michi-gan departments of health That study found that 10 percent of newborns in the Minnesota region of the study have mercury levels above the EPArsquos safe level with a particularly high concen-tration of high mercury levels in Cook County newborns

Because developing nervous systems are particularly vulner-able to the harmful effects of mercury the MDH wanted to work with Cook County clinics to see if they could reduce newborn mercury levels said Pat McCann of the MDH who is the lead on the Cook County study Fetal exposure to methylmercury (the type of mercury found in fish) can lead to issues with cognition memory attention language and fine motor and visual spatial skills in children

ldquoOne good way to help with mercury levels is to work with health care providers since thatrsquos where women get most of their health informationrdquo said McCann

This new study will allow the MDH to do just that The exact role of Sawtooth Mountain Clinic and the Grand Portage band has not yet been exactly determined However McCann said the study will work to determine why Cook County newborns have high levels of mercury and work to better educate expectant mothers about which types of fish are safe to eat

McCann said they plan to begin enrolling Cook County women in the study in January 2014 and will continue to enroll women for about a year Women who qualify for the study will be asked to participate when they go in for a regularly scheduled appointment

At this point in the studyrsquos development McCann said she believes participants will be asked to complete a questionnaire about their fish-eating habits and also submit a blood sample The blood sample will be used to test participantsrsquo levels of mer-cury and Omega 3 fatty acids to help determine each partici-pantrsquos level of fish consumption

Ideally at the end of the study participantsrsquo blood sample will show a decrease in mercury But the same levels of the healthy Omega 3 fatty acids said McCann

ldquoWe want women to keep eating fishrdquo McCann said Cook County residents will likely see more educational mate-

learning 2 txt

4 dummiesBy Breana Roy

Irsquove grown up in a society where technol-ogy is always evolving So knowing how to use a computer cell phone iPod or other electronic device has always seemed to come naturally Yet it can stump those de-cades older than me

While my dad can tear an airplane apart and put it back together figuring out how to make a cell phone call seems to be too dif-ficult for him let alone send a text message And even though my mom taught herself how to text she goes overboard and tries to shorten every word possible making it a game to try and decipher what shersquos really saying

Now being an English Major Irsquom pretty particular about my grammar but even I slip into a different lingo sometimes when texting If yoursquore going to keep up with young folks who can text an entire para-graph quicker than you can say ldquolaughing out loudrdquo then yoursquore going to have to know some basic texting terms

First off while most people know ldquololrdquo or ldquolaughing out loudrdquo there are many other variations of laughing You could be ldquoroflrdquo or ldquorolling on the floor laughingrdquo Or you could be ldquolmaordquo aka ldquolaughing my a off rdquo You could even combine the two for an epic ldquoroflmaordquo Another route would be to simply use haha or hehe Depending on how many harsquos or hersquos are used will determine the funny factor for the recipient so choose appropriately

Many words can be shortened to a single letter saving you precious texting time and letting you text much more rapidly Such words include ldquoyrdquo instead of ldquowhyrdquo ldquorrdquo vs ldquoarerdquo ldquocrdquo for ldquoseeseardquo ldquourdquo in place of ldquoyourdquo and many more Numbers can also be in-corporated into words like ldquob4rdquo instead of ldquobeforerdquo or ldquo2rdquo for ldquoto too and twordquo

Sometimes you want your texting conver-sation to be kept a secret Itrsquos those types of conversations that you become paranoid of people peaking over your shoulder If thatrsquos the case and someone is hovering just type ldquoposrdquo and your recipient should know that there is a parentperson over your shoulder and the conversation isnrsquot safe anymore

As for capitalizations commas and peri-ods when texting who cares Lowercase letters are the norm for texting and great punctuation isnrsquot expected although if used itrsquos always an improvement Just donrsquot use all uppercase letters or it is considered RUDE SHOUTING and nobody likes get-ting yelled at

Nowadays many people have smart phones allowing them to send emoticons for almost anything such as faces hearts hand gestures and more However the ba-sic self-typed happy and sad faces are still commonly used Send ) or ( to depict your emotions Turn your sad face into rsquo( to show your tears or turn that frown upside down with a cheesy wide smile such as D or P instead You can send a ) to wink at your texting buddy Feel like your faces are missing a nose Insert a hyphen to change your faces into -) or -D etc If you do have a smart phone then sending emoticons in

place of words is always an option Try play-ing different guessing games such as send-ing emoticons to represent song lyrics to stimulate hours of entertainment laughter and fun

The world of cell phones and texting is vir-tually unlimited Phrases faces games and abbreviations are always changing and ex-panding While it may seem impossible to

keep up follow these simple texting ldquorulesrdquo and you can do no wrong But beware you might just outdo the stereotypical teenager and become a texting fiend Irsquove already cre-ated monsters out of my parents although I suppose I should feel pretty lucky to have such ldquohip and cool parentsrdquo according to them So until next month ttyl and ttfn talk to you later and ta ta for now

omg Oh My Gosh o rly Oh Really omw On My Way hmu Hit Me Up tbh To Be Honest hbu How About You n2m Not Too Much jlmk Just Let Me Know wyw Whatever You Want brb Be Right Back nvm Nevermind np No Problem wth What the Heck jk Just Kidding idk or idc I donrsquot know or I donrsquot care

ldquoWe want women to keep eating fishrdquo McCann said Cook County residents will likely see more educational mate-

rial about fish consumption over the next few years as the MDH works to get women consuming fish with lower mercury levels

ldquoThere are lots of fish that women can eatrdquo she said McCann recommends women eat smaller fish and fish that are

lower on the food chain like pan fish and crappies Lake her-ring whitefish salmon and perch are also good low-mercury fish choices

To date the Minnesota Department of Health has only done mercury level studies in the Lake Superior basin so itrsquos un-known whether Cook Countyrsquos mercury levels are unusually high compared to the rest of the state said McCann April is Sexual Assault

18 NORTH SHORE HWY 61 APRIL 2013

By Joan Farnam

More than 35000 pounds of recycled materi-als are shipped out of the Cook County Recy-cling Center every week Last year alone 1029 tons or 21 million pounds of solid waste was collected there according to a report that was released last month

Thatrsquos a lot of recycled materials but is only one quarter of the solid waste Cook County generates every year

The recyclable materials are hauled to Har-telrsquosDBJ Disposal Companies in Proctor where they eventually end up in factories pa-per mills steel mills and other firms in Min-nesota across the country and the world to be reused or repurposed

The good news is that all that glass corrugat-ed cardboard newspaper magazines mixed paper steel cans aluminum mixed plastic and lead acid batteries are removed from the countyrsquos solid waste stream And the Recycling Center makes some money out of it

In all the recycling program brought in $48000 in 2012

More than half that revenue came from the Budget Shop ($27000) while aluminum cans accounted for another $18000 said Jeff Sylves-ter operatormanager of the Recycling Center

ldquoItrsquos nice to see a fiscal returnrdquo he said as he gave a tour of the facility recently

The price for recycled materials fluctuates with the stock market he said ldquoLike any com-modity it goes up and down When the econ-omy tanked in lsquo08 it wasnrsquot worth much The markets are improvingrdquo

Sylvester said the only thing thatrsquos not mak-ing much money is glass and used unwear-able clothing The brokerage fee that Hartelrsquos charges for handling glass ($35 a ton) pretty much cancels out what they can get for it he said and therersquos no market at all right now for used clothing

ldquoWe dumpster itrdquo he said ldquoBefore the reces-sion it went to the auto industry but we lost those markets Therersquos less need for it and wersquove not been able to find good viable buyersrdquo

The Recycling Center is looking forward to making more money this year It just started

working with Hartelrsquos in December and it has been profitable he said

When the Recycling Center was first started in 1988 the goal was to substantially reduce the solid waste that was being trucked to land-fills Businesses were encouraged to recycle as were homeowners and the program has met some of its goals

ldquoOur goal was to hit a 35 percent rate for homeownersrdquo he said and that was met last year

But more could be done he added ldquoEvery business recyclesrdquo he said ldquoThey pay by vol-ume so it behooves them to reducerdquo

Homeowners on the other hand can recycle for free but many just donrsquot bother

The figures reflect this In all Cook County generated 4900 tons of solid waste in 2012 and 3636 tons of that ended up in landfills

Curbside pickup of domestic recyclables just isnrsquot feasible he said ldquoThe county canrsquot afford itrdquo

Insteadthe program has set up five rural col-lection points to make recycling easier for both households and businesses

Three of the five rural stations are specifically for businesses to use Collection stations up the Sawbill Trail in Tofte near the old airport and the one in Grand Portage are open for house-hold use as well The Grand Portage site also handles business waste including cardboard he said

ldquoGrand Portage is also paying to pull the trailer They bring it in to usrdquo he said ldquoTheyrsquore good stewards of what theyrsquore doing Their green trailer is always impeccably cared for seldom is anything in the wrong placerdquo

Quality recyclables have to be properly sorted and this requires a lot of hand labor Sylvester said which is the primary reason why the re-cycling center is not open to the public all day every day

The employees need time to sort and bale whatrsquos coming in every day he said The cen-ter has four full-time employees and one has to staff the Budget Shop for half a day so ev-erybody is scrambling to get things ready for shipment in the mornings he said

Typically they will fill a 53-foot tractor-trailer

with material every weekOne of the most time-consuming to pro-

cess and ironically one of the most prof-itable recyclables is mixed paper he said One thing homeowners are encouraged to do is recycle their junk mail and good quality paper because it brings a good price and shouldnrsquot be taking up room in a landfill

Last year 938 tons of mixed paper was generated in the county and only 37 per-cent of that was recycled Sylvester recom-mends that personal documents be shred-ded but all other mixed paper is welcome

Because the recycling program is focused on reducing all solid waste as well as being good stewards of the environment it also has organized hazardous waste and elec-tronic waste collections twice a year takes used oil and oil filters as well as lead batter-ies and purchases aluminum cans at $20 a pound from 1-230 pm each day It also takes yard waste

It does not accept furniture appliances or mattresses These can be disposed of for a fee at Petersonrsquos Disposal

The Recycling Center is open from 11 am to 4 pm Monday through Wednesday and on Friday 11 am to 6 pm Thursday and 9 am to 1 pm Saturday

Sylvester said that his personal goal is to increase homeowner participation in the re-

cycling program to 50 percent Recycling is easy he said ldquoItrsquos free itrsquos the right thing to do and itrsquos environmentally responsible We hope people will start recycling morerdquo

Cook County recycles tons of stuff

The Cook County Recycling Center trucks about 35000 pounds of recyclables every week to its broker in Proctor Manageroperator Jeff Sylvester is in one of the semi-trailers thatrsquos almost ready to go Photos by Joan Farnam

The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) has partnered with Sawtooth Mountain Clinic and the Grand Portage Band of Lake Superior Chippewa to conduct a study of 500 Cook County women of childbearing age to help determine why Cook County newborns exhibit high levels of mercury The study is funded by a grant from the Environmental Protection Agency

This new study comes on the heels of a 2007-2011 study of mercury levels in 1465 newborns in the Lake Superior Basin in which MDH participated along with the Wisconsin and Michi-gan departments of health That study found that 10 percent of newborns in the Minnesota region of the study have mercury levels above the EPArsquos safe level with a particularly high concen-tration of high mercury levels in Cook County newborns

Because developing nervous systems are particularly vulner-able to the harmful effects of mercury the MDH wanted to work with Cook County clinics to see if they could reduce newborn mercury levels said Pat McCann of the MDH who is the lead on the Cook County study Fetal exposure to methylmercury (the type of mercury found in fish) can lead to issues with cognition memory attention language and fine motor and visual spatial skills in children

ldquoOne good way to help with mercury levels is to work with health care providers since thatrsquos where women get most of their health informationrdquo said McCann

This new study will allow the MDH to do just that The exact role of Sawtooth Mountain Clinic and the Grand Portage band has not yet been exactly determined However McCann said the study will work to determine why Cook County newborns have high levels of mercury and work to better educate expectant mothers about which types of fish are safe to eat

McCann said they plan to begin enrolling Cook County women in the study in January 2014 and will continue to enroll women for about a year Women who qualify for the study will be asked to participate when they go in for a regularly scheduled appointment

At this point in the studyrsquos development McCann said she believes participants will be asked to complete a questionnaire about their fish-eating habits and also submit a blood sample The blood sample will be used to test participantsrsquo levels of mer-cury and Omega 3 fatty acids to help determine each partici-pantrsquos level of fish consumption

Ideally at the end of the study participantsrsquo blood sample will show a decrease in mercury But the same levels of the healthy Omega 3 fatty acids said McCann

learning 2 txt

4 dummiesBy Breana Roy

Irsquove grown up in a society where technol-ogy is always evolving So knowing how to use a computer cell phone iPod or other electronic device has always seemed to come naturally Yet it can stump those de-cades older than me

While my dad can tear an airplane apart and put it back together figuring out how to make a cell phone call seems to be too dif-ficult for him let alone send a text message And even though my mom taught herself how to text she goes overboard and tries to shorten every word possible making it a game to try and decipher what shersquos really saying

Now being an English Major Irsquom pretty particular about my grammar but even I slip into a different lingo sometimes when texting If yoursquore going to keep up with young folks who can text an entire para-graph quicker than you can say ldquolaughing out loudrdquo then yoursquore going to have to know some basic texting terms

First off while most people know ldquololrdquo or ldquolaughing out loudrdquo there are many other variations of laughing You could be ldquoroflrdquo or ldquorolling on the floor laughingrdquo Or you could be ldquolmaordquo aka ldquolaughing my a off rdquo You could even combine the two for an epic ldquoroflmaordquo Another route would be to simply use haha or hehe Depending on how many harsquos or hersquos are used will determine the funny factor for the recipient so choose appropriately

Many words can be shortened to a single letter saving you precious texting time and letting you text much more rapidly Such words include ldquoyrdquo instead of ldquowhyrdquo ldquorrdquo vs ldquoarerdquo ldquocrdquo for ldquoseeseardquo ldquourdquo in place of ldquoyourdquo and many more Numbers can also be in-corporated into words like ldquob4rdquo instead of ldquobeforerdquo or ldquo2rdquo for ldquoto too and twordquo

Sometimes you want your texting conver-sation to be kept a secret Itrsquos those types of conversations that you become paranoid of people peaking over your shoulder If thatrsquos the case and someone is hovering just type ldquoposrdquo and your recipient should know that there is a parentperson over your shoulder and the conversation isnrsquot safe anymore

As for capitalizations commas and peri-ods when texting who cares Lowercase letters are the norm for texting and great punctuation isnrsquot expected although if used itrsquos always an improvement Just donrsquot use all uppercase letters or it is considered RUDE SHOUTING and nobody likes get-ting yelled at

Nowadays many people have smart phones allowing them to send emoticons for almost anything such as faces hearts hand gestures and more However the ba-sic self-typed happy and sad faces are still commonly used Send ) or ( to depict your emotions Turn your sad face into rsquo( to show your tears or turn that frown upside down with a cheesy wide smile such as D or P instead You can send a ) to wink at your texting buddy Feel like your faces are missing a nose Insert a hyphen to change your faces into -) or -D etc If you do have a smart phone then sending emoticons in

place of words is always an option Try play-ing different guessing games such as send-ing emoticons to represent song lyrics to stimulate hours of entertainment laughter and fun

The world of cell phones and texting is vir-tually unlimited Phrases faces games and abbreviations are always changing and ex-panding While it may seem impossible to

keep up follow these simple texting ldquorulesrdquo and you can do no wrong But beware you might just outdo the stereotypical teenager and become a texting fiend Irsquove already cre-ated monsters out of my parents although I suppose I should feel pretty lucky to have such ldquohip and cool parentsrdquo according to them So until next month ttyl and ttfn talk to you later and ta ta for now

omg Oh My Gosh o rly Oh Really omw On My Way hmu Hit Me Up tbh To Be Honest hbu How About You n2m Not Too Much jlmk Just Let Me Know wyw Whatever You Want brb Be Right Back nvm Nevermind np No Problem wth What the Heck jk Just Kidding idk or idc I donrsquot know or I donrsquot care

ldquoWe want women to keep eating fishrdquo McCann said Cook County residents will likely see more educational mate-

rial about fish consumption over the next few years as the MDH works to get women consuming fish with lower mercury levels

ldquoThere are lots of fish that women can eatrdquo she said McCann recommends women eat smaller fish and fish that are

lower on the food chain like pan fish and crappies Lake her-ring whitefish salmon and perch are also good low-mercury fish choices

To date the Minnesota Department of Health has only done mercury level studies in the Lake Superior basin so itrsquos un-known whether Cook Countyrsquos mercury levels are unusually high compared to the rest of the state said McCann April is Sexual Assault

18 NORTH SHORE HWY 61 APRIL 2013

By Joan Farnam

More than 35000 pounds of recycled materi-als are shipped out of the Cook County Recy-cling Center every week Last year alone 1029 tons or 21 million pounds of solid waste was collected there according to a report that was released last month

Thatrsquos a lot of recycled materials but is only one quarter of the solid waste Cook County generates every year

The recyclable materials are hauled to Har-telrsquosDBJ Disposal Companies in Proctor where they eventually end up in factories pa-per mills steel mills and other firms in Min-nesota across the country and the world to be reused or repurposed

The good news is that all that glass corrugat-ed cardboard newspaper magazines mixed paper steel cans aluminum mixed plastic and lead acid batteries are removed from the countyrsquos solid waste stream And the Recycling Center makes some money out of it

In all the recycling program brought in $48000 in 2012

More than half that revenue came from the Budget Shop ($27000) while aluminum cans accounted for another $18000 said Jeff Sylves-ter operatormanager of the Recycling Center

ldquoItrsquos nice to see a fiscal returnrdquo he said as he gave a tour of the facility recently

The price for recycled materials fluctuates with the stock market he said ldquoLike any com-modity it goes up and down When the econ-omy tanked in lsquo08 it wasnrsquot worth much The markets are improvingrdquo

Sylvester said the only thing thatrsquos not mak-ing much money is glass and used unwear-able clothing The brokerage fee that Hartelrsquos charges for handling glass ($35 a ton) pretty much cancels out what they can get for it he said and therersquos no market at all right now for used clothing

ldquoWe dumpster itrdquo he said ldquoBefore the reces-sion it went to the auto industry but we lost those markets Therersquos less need for it and wersquove not been able to find good viable buyersrdquo

The Recycling Center is looking forward to making more money this year It just started

working with Hartelrsquos in December and it has been profitable he said

When the Recycling Center was first started in 1988 the goal was to substantially reduce the solid waste that was being trucked to land-fills Businesses were encouraged to recycle as were homeowners and the program has met some of its goals

ldquoOur goal was to hit a 35 percent rate for homeownersrdquo he said and that was met last year

But more could be done he added ldquoEvery business recyclesrdquo he said ldquoThey pay by vol-ume so it behooves them to reducerdquo

Homeowners on the other hand can recycle for free but many just donrsquot bother

The figures reflect this In all Cook County generated 4900 tons of solid waste in 2012 and 3636 tons of that ended up in landfills

Curbside pickup of domestic recyclables just isnrsquot feasible he said ldquoThe county canrsquot afford itrdquo

Insteadthe program has set up five rural col-lection points to make recycling easier for both households and businesses

Three of the five rural stations are specifically for businesses to use Collection stations up the Sawbill Trail in Tofte near the old airport and the one in Grand Portage are open for house-hold use as well The Grand Portage site also handles business waste including cardboard he said

ldquoGrand Portage is also paying to pull the trailer They bring it in to usrdquo he said ldquoTheyrsquore good stewards of what theyrsquore doing Their green trailer is always impeccably cared for seldom is anything in the wrong placerdquo

Quality recyclables have to be properly sorted and this requires a lot of hand labor Sylvester said which is the primary reason why the re-cycling center is not open to the public all day every day

The employees need time to sort and bale whatrsquos coming in every day he said The cen-ter has four full-time employees and one has to staff the Budget Shop for half a day so ev-erybody is scrambling to get things ready for shipment in the mornings he said

Typically they will fill a 53-foot tractor-trailer

with material every weekOne of the most time-consuming to pro-

cess and ironically one of the most prof-itable recyclables is mixed paper he said One thing homeowners are encouraged to do is recycle their junk mail and good quality paper because it brings a good price and shouldnrsquot be taking up room in a landfill

Last year 938 tons of mixed paper was generated in the county and only 37 per-cent of that was recycled Sylvester recom-mends that personal documents be shred-ded but all other mixed paper is welcome

Because the recycling program is focused on reducing all solid waste as well as being good stewards of the environment it also has organized hazardous waste and elec-tronic waste collections twice a year takes used oil and oil filters as well as lead batter-ies and purchases aluminum cans at $20 a pound from 1-230 pm each day It also takes yard waste

It does not accept furniture appliances or mattresses These can be disposed of for a fee at Petersonrsquos Disposal

The Recycling Center is open from 11 am to 4 pm Monday through Wednesday and on Friday 11 am to 6 pm Thursday and 9 am to 1 pm Saturday

Sylvester said that his personal goal is to increase homeowner participation in the re-

cycling program to 50 percent Recycling is easy he said ldquoItrsquos free itrsquos the right thing to do and itrsquos environmentally responsible We hope people will start recycling morerdquo

Cook County recycles tons of stuff

The Cook County Recycling Center trucks about 35000 pounds of recyclables every week to its broker in Proctor Manageroperator Jeff Sylvester is in one of the semi-trailers thatrsquos almost ready to go Photos by Joan Farnam

APRIL 2013 NORTH SHORE HWY 61 15

By Ada Igoe

The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) has partnered with Sawtooth Mountain Clinic and the Grand Portage Band of Lake Superior Chippewa to conduct a study of 500 Cook County women of childbearing age to help determine why Cook County newborns exhibit high levels of mercury The study is funded by a grant from the Environmental Protection Agency

This new study comes on the heels of a 2007-2011 study of mercury levels in 1465 newborns in the Lake Superior Basin in which MDH participated along with the Wisconsin and Michi-gan departments of health That study found that 10 percent of newborns in the Minnesota region of the study have mercury levels above the EPArsquos safe level with a particularly high concen-tration of high mercury levels in Cook County newborns

Because developing nervous systems are particularly vulner-able to the harmful effects of mercury the MDH wanted to work with Cook County clinics to see if they could reduce newborn mercury levels said Pat McCann of the MDH who is the lead on the Cook County study Fetal exposure to methylmercury (the type of mercury found in fish) can lead to issues with cognition memory attention language and fine motor and visual spatial skills in children

ldquoOne good way to help with mercury levels is to work with health care providers since thatrsquos where women get most of their health informationrdquo said McCann

This new study will allow the MDH to do just that The exact role of Sawtooth Mountain Clinic and the Grand Portage band has not yet been exactly determined However McCann said the study will work to determine why Cook County newborns have high levels of mercury and work to better educate expectant mothers about which types of fish are safe to eat

McCann said they plan to begin enrolling Cook County women in the study in January 2014 and will continue to enroll women for about a year Women who qualify for the study will be asked to participate when they go in for a regularly scheduled appointment

At this point in the studyrsquos development McCann said she believes participants will be asked to complete a questionnaire about their fish-eating habits and also submit a blood sample The blood sample will be used to test participantsrsquo levels of mer-cury and Omega 3 fatty acids to help determine each partici-pantrsquos level of fish consumption

Ideally at the end of the study participantsrsquo blood sample will show a decrease in mercury But the same levels of the healthy Omega 3 fatty acids said McCann

ldquoWe want women to keep eating fishrdquo McCann said Cook County residents will likely see more educational mate-

rial about fish consumption over the next few years as the MDH works to get women consuming fish with lower mercury levels

ldquoThere are lots of fish that women can eatrdquo she said McCann recommends women eat smaller fish and fish that are

lower on the food chain like pan fish and crappies Lake her-ring whitefish salmon and perch are also good low-mercury fish choices

To date the Minnesota Department of Health has only done mercury level studies in the Lake Superior basin so itrsquos un-known whether Cook Countyrsquos mercury levels are unusually high compared to the rest of the state said McCann April is Sexual Assault

18 NORTH SHORE HWY 61 APRIL 2013

By Joan Farnam

More than 35000 pounds of recycled materi-als are shipped out of the Cook County Recy-cling Center every week Last year alone 1029 tons or 21 million pounds of solid waste was collected there according to a report that was released last month

Thatrsquos a lot of recycled materials but is only one quarter of the solid waste Cook County generates every year

The recyclable materials are hauled to Har-telrsquosDBJ Disposal Companies in Proctor where they eventually end up in factories pa-per mills steel mills and other firms in Min-nesota across the country and the world to be reused or repurposed

The good news is that all that glass corrugat-ed cardboard newspaper magazines mixed paper steel cans aluminum mixed plastic and lead acid batteries are removed from the countyrsquos solid waste stream And the Recycling Center makes some money out of it

In all the recycling program brought in $48000 in 2012

More than half that revenue came from the Budget Shop ($27000) while aluminum cans accounted for another $18000 said Jeff Sylves-ter operatormanager of the Recycling Center

ldquoItrsquos nice to see a fiscal returnrdquo he said as he gave a tour of the facility recently

The price for recycled materials fluctuates with the stock market he said ldquoLike any com-modity it goes up and down When the econ-omy tanked in lsquo08 it wasnrsquot worth much The markets are improvingrdquo

Sylvester said the only thing thatrsquos not mak-ing much money is glass and used unwear-able clothing The brokerage fee that Hartelrsquos charges for handling glass ($35 a ton) pretty much cancels out what they can get for it he said and therersquos no market at all right now for used clothing

ldquoWe dumpster itrdquo he said ldquoBefore the reces-sion it went to the auto industry but we lost those markets Therersquos less need for it and wersquove not been able to find good viable buyersrdquo

The Recycling Center is looking forward to making more money this year It just started

working with Hartelrsquos in December and it has been profitable he said

When the Recycling Center was first started in 1988 the goal was to substantially reduce the solid waste that was being trucked to land-fills Businesses were encouraged to recycle as were homeowners and the program has met some of its goals

ldquoOur goal was to hit a 35 percent rate for homeownersrdquo he said and that was met last year

But more could be done he added ldquoEvery business recyclesrdquo he said ldquoThey pay by vol-ume so it behooves them to reducerdquo

Homeowners on the other hand can recycle for free but many just donrsquot bother

The figures reflect this In all Cook County generated 4900 tons of solid waste in 2012 and 3636 tons of that ended up in landfills

Curbside pickup of domestic recyclables just isnrsquot feasible he said ldquoThe county canrsquot afford itrdquo

Insteadthe program has set up five rural col-lection points to make recycling easier for both households and businesses

Three of the five rural stations are specifically for businesses to use Collection stations up the Sawbill Trail in Tofte near the old airport and the one in Grand Portage are open for house-hold use as well The Grand Portage site also handles business waste including cardboard he said

ldquoGrand Portage is also paying to pull the trailer They bring it in to usrdquo he said ldquoTheyrsquore good stewards of what theyrsquore doing Their green trailer is always impeccably cared for seldom is anything in the wrong placerdquo

Quality recyclables have to be properly sorted and this requires a lot of hand labor Sylvester said which is the primary reason why the re-cycling center is not open to the public all day every day

The employees need time to sort and bale whatrsquos coming in every day he said The cen-ter has four full-time employees and one has to staff the Budget Shop for half a day so ev-erybody is scrambling to get things ready for shipment in the mornings he said

Typically they will fill a 53-foot tractor-trailer

with material every weekOne of the most time-consuming to pro-

cess and ironically one of the most prof-itable recyclables is mixed paper he said One thing homeowners are encouraged to do is recycle their junk mail and good quality paper because it brings a good price and shouldnrsquot be taking up room in a landfill

Last year 938 tons of mixed paper was generated in the county and only 37 per-cent of that was recycled Sylvester recom-mends that personal documents be shred-ded but all other mixed paper is welcome

Because the recycling program is focused on reducing all solid waste as well as being good stewards of the environment it also has organized hazardous waste and elec-tronic waste collections twice a year takes used oil and oil filters as well as lead batter-ies and purchases aluminum cans at $20 a pound from 1-230 pm each day It also takes yard waste

It does not accept furniture appliances or mattresses These can be disposed of for a fee at Petersonrsquos Disposal

The Recycling Center is open from 11 am to 4 pm Monday through Wednesday and on Friday 11 am to 6 pm Thursday and 9 am to 1 pm Saturday

Sylvester said that his personal goal is to increase homeowner participation in the re-

cycling program to 50 percent Recycling is easy he said ldquoItrsquos free itrsquos the right thing to do and itrsquos environmentally responsible We hope people will start recycling morerdquo

Cook County recycles tons of stuff

The Cook County Recycling Center trucks about 35000 pounds of recyclables every week to its broker in Proctor Manageroperator Jeff Sylvester is in one of the semi-trailers thatrsquos almost ready to go Photos by Joan Farnam

18 NORTH SHORE HWY 61 APRIL 2013

By Joan Farnam

More than 35000 pounds of recycled materi-als are shipped out of the Cook County Recy-cling Center every week Last year alone 1029 tons or 21 million pounds of solid waste was collected there according to a report that was released last month

Thatrsquos a lot of recycled materials but is only one quarter of the solid waste Cook County generates every year

The recyclable materials are hauled to Har-telrsquosDBJ Disposal Companies in Proctor where they eventually end up in factories pa-per mills steel mills and other firms in Min-nesota across the country and the world to be reused or repurposed

The good news is that all that glass corrugat-ed cardboard newspaper magazines mixed paper steel cans aluminum mixed plastic and lead acid batteries are removed from the countyrsquos solid waste stream And the Recycling Center makes some money out of it

In all the recycling program brought in $48000 in 2012

More than half that revenue came from the Budget Shop ($27000) while aluminum cans accounted for another $18000 said Jeff Sylves-ter operatormanager of the Recycling Center

ldquoItrsquos nice to see a fiscal returnrdquo he said as he gave a tour of the facility recently

The price for recycled materials fluctuates with the stock market he said ldquoLike any com-modity it goes up and down When the econ-omy tanked in lsquo08 it wasnrsquot worth much The markets are improvingrdquo

Sylvester said the only thing thatrsquos not mak-ing much money is glass and used unwear-able clothing The brokerage fee that Hartelrsquos charges for handling glass ($35 a ton) pretty much cancels out what they can get for it he said and therersquos no market at all right now for used clothing

ldquoWe dumpster itrdquo he said ldquoBefore the reces-sion it went to the auto industry but we lost those markets Therersquos less need for it and wersquove not been able to find good viable buyersrdquo

The Recycling Center is looking forward to making more money this year It just started

working with Hartelrsquos in December and it has been profitable he said

When the Recycling Center was first started in 1988 the goal was to substantially reduce the solid waste that was being trucked to land-fills Businesses were encouraged to recycle as were homeowners and the program has met some of its goals

ldquoOur goal was to hit a 35 percent rate for homeownersrdquo he said and that was met last year

But more could be done he added ldquoEvery business recyclesrdquo he said ldquoThey pay by vol-ume so it behooves them to reducerdquo

Homeowners on the other hand can recycle for free but many just donrsquot bother

The figures reflect this In all Cook County generated 4900 tons of solid waste in 2012 and 3636 tons of that ended up in landfills

Curbside pickup of domestic recyclables just isnrsquot feasible he said ldquoThe county canrsquot afford itrdquo

Insteadthe program has set up five rural col-lection points to make recycling easier for both households and businesses

Three of the five rural stations are specifically for businesses to use Collection stations up the Sawbill Trail in Tofte near the old airport and the one in Grand Portage are open for house-hold use as well The Grand Portage site also handles business waste including cardboard he said

ldquoGrand Portage is also paying to pull the trailer They bring it in to usrdquo he said ldquoTheyrsquore good stewards of what theyrsquore doing Their green trailer is always impeccably cared for seldom is anything in the wrong placerdquo

Quality recyclables have to be properly sorted and this requires a lot of hand labor Sylvester said which is the primary reason why the re-cycling center is not open to the public all day every day

The employees need time to sort and bale whatrsquos coming in every day he said The cen-ter has four full-time employees and one has to staff the Budget Shop for half a day so ev-erybody is scrambling to get things ready for shipment in the mornings he said

Typically they will fill a 53-foot tractor-trailer

with material every weekOne of the most time-consuming to pro-

cess and ironically one of the most prof-itable recyclables is mixed paper he said One thing homeowners are encouraged to do is recycle their junk mail and good quality paper because it brings a good price and shouldnrsquot be taking up room in a landfill

Last year 938 tons of mixed paper was generated in the county and only 37 per-cent of that was recycled Sylvester recom-mends that personal documents be shred-ded but all other mixed paper is welcome

Because the recycling program is focused on reducing all solid waste as well as being good stewards of the environment it also has organized hazardous waste and elec-tronic waste collections twice a year takes used oil and oil filters as well as lead batter-ies and purchases aluminum cans at $20 a pound from 1-230 pm each day It also takes yard waste

It does not accept furniture appliances or mattresses These can be disposed of for a fee at Petersonrsquos Disposal

The Recycling Center is open from 11 am to 4 pm Monday through Wednesday and on Friday 11 am to 6 pm Thursday and 9 am to 1 pm Saturday

Sylvester said that his personal goal is to increase homeowner participation in the re-

cycling program to 50 percent Recycling is easy he said ldquoItrsquos free itrsquos the right thing to do and itrsquos environmentally responsible We hope people will start recycling morerdquo

Cook County recycles tons of stuff

The Cook County Recycling Center trucks about 35000 pounds of recyclables every week to its broker in Proctor Manageroperator Jeff Sylvester is in one of the semi-trailers thatrsquos almost ready to go Photos by Joan Farnam

18 NORTH SHORE HWY 61 APRIL 2013

By Joan Farnam

More than 35000 pounds of recycled materi-als are shipped out of the Cook County Recy-cling Center every week Last year alone 1029 tons or 21 million pounds of solid waste was collected there according to a report that was released last month

Thatrsquos a lot of recycled materials but is only one quarter of the solid waste Cook County generates every year

The recyclable materials are hauled to Har-telrsquosDBJ Disposal Companies in Proctor where they eventually end up in factories pa-per mills steel mills and other firms in Min-nesota across the country and the world to be reused or repurposed

The good news is that all that glass corrugat-ed cardboard newspaper magazines mixed paper steel cans aluminum mixed plastic and lead acid batteries are removed from the countyrsquos solid waste stream And the Recycling Center makes some money out of it

In all the recycling program brought in $48000 in 2012

More than half that revenue came from the Budget Shop ($27000) while aluminum cans accounted for another $18000 said Jeff Sylves-ter operatormanager of the Recycling Center

ldquoItrsquos nice to see a fiscal returnrdquo he said as he gave a tour of the facility recently

The price for recycled materials fluctuates with the stock market he said ldquoLike any com-modity it goes up and down When the econ-omy tanked in lsquo08 it wasnrsquot worth much The markets are improvingrdquo

Sylvester said the only thing thatrsquos not mak-ing much money is glass and used unwear-able clothing The brokerage fee that Hartelrsquos charges for handling glass ($35 a ton) pretty much cancels out what they can get for it he said and therersquos no market at all right now for used clothing

ldquoWe dumpster itrdquo he said ldquoBefore the reces-sion it went to the auto industry but we lost those markets Therersquos less need for it and wersquove not been able to find good viable buyersrdquo

The Recycling Center is looking forward to making more money this year It just started

working with Hartelrsquos in December and it has been profitable he said

When the Recycling Center was first started in 1988 the goal was to substantially reduce the solid waste that was being trucked to land-fills Businesses were encouraged to recycle as were homeowners and the program has met some of its goals

ldquoOur goal was to hit a 35 percent rate for homeownersrdquo he said and that was met last year

But more could be done he added ldquoEvery business recyclesrdquo he said ldquoThey pay by vol-ume so it behooves them to reducerdquo

Homeowners on the other hand can recycle for free but many just donrsquot bother

The figures reflect this In all Cook County generated 4900 tons of solid waste in 2012 and 3636 tons of that ended up in landfills

Curbside pickup of domestic recyclables just isnrsquot feasible he said ldquoThe county canrsquot afford itrdquo

Insteadthe program has set up five rural col-lection points to make recycling easier for both households and businesses

Three of the five rural stations are specifically for businesses to use Collection stations up the Sawbill Trail in Tofte near the old airport and the one in Grand Portage are open for house-hold use as well The Grand Portage site also handles business waste including cardboard he said

ldquoGrand Portage is also paying to pull the trailer They bring it in to usrdquo he said ldquoTheyrsquore good stewards of what theyrsquore doing Their green trailer is always impeccably cared for seldom is anything in the wrong placerdquo

Quality recyclables have to be properly sorted and this requires a lot of hand labor Sylvester said which is the primary reason why the re-cycling center is not open to the public all day every day

The employees need time to sort and bale whatrsquos coming in every day he said The cen-ter has four full-time employees and one has to staff the Budget Shop for half a day so ev-erybody is scrambling to get things ready for shipment in the mornings he said

Typically they will fill a 53-foot tractor-trailer

with material every weekOne of the most time-consuming to pro-

cess and ironically one of the most prof-itable recyclables is mixed paper he said One thing homeowners are encouraged to do is recycle their junk mail and good quality paper because it brings a good price and shouldnrsquot be taking up room in a landfill

Last year 938 tons of mixed paper was generated in the county and only 37 per-cent of that was recycled Sylvester recom-mends that personal documents be shred-ded but all other mixed paper is welcome

Because the recycling program is focused on reducing all solid waste as well as being good stewards of the environment it also has organized hazardous waste and elec-tronic waste collections twice a year takes used oil and oil filters as well as lead batter-ies and purchases aluminum cans at $20 a pound from 1-230 pm each day It also takes yard waste

It does not accept furniture appliances or mattresses These can be disposed of for a fee at Petersonrsquos Disposal

The Recycling Center is open from 11 am to 4 pm Monday through Wednesday and on Friday 11 am to 6 pm Thursday and 9 am to 1 pm Saturday

Sylvester said that his personal goal is to increase homeowner participation in the re-

cycling program to 50 percent Recycling is easy he said ldquoItrsquos free itrsquos the right thing to do and itrsquos environmentally responsible We hope people will start recycling morerdquo

Cook County recycles tons of stuff

The Cook County Recycling Center trucks about 35000 pounds of recyclables every week to its broker in Proctor Manageroperator Jeff Sylvester is in one of the semi-trailers thatrsquos almost ready to go Photos by Joan Farnam

Rick Sturm left and Jim Anderson sort through mixed paper that is being recycled

18 NORTH SHORE HWY 61 APRIL 2013

By Joan Farnam

More than 35000 pounds of recycled materi-als are shipped out of the Cook County Recy-cling Center every week Last year alone 1029 tons or 21 million pounds of solid waste was collected there according to a report that was released last month

Thatrsquos a lot of recycled materials but is only one quarter of the solid waste Cook County generates every year

The recyclable materials are hauled to Har-telrsquosDBJ Disposal Companies in Proctor where they eventually end up in factories pa-per mills steel mills and other firms in Min-nesota across the country and the world to be reused or repurposed

The good news is that all that glass corrugat-ed cardboard newspaper magazines mixed paper steel cans aluminum mixed plastic and lead acid batteries are removed from the countyrsquos solid waste stream And the Recycling Center makes some money out of it

In all the recycling program brought in $48000 in 2012

More than half that revenue came from the Budget Shop ($27000) while aluminum cans accounted for another $18000 said Jeff Sylves-ter operatormanager of the Recycling Center

ldquoItrsquos nice to see a fiscal returnrdquo he said as he gave a tour of the facility recently

The price for recycled materials fluctuates with the stock market he said ldquoLike any com-modity it goes up and down When the econ-omy tanked in lsquo08 it wasnrsquot worth much The markets are improvingrdquo

Sylvester said the only thing thatrsquos not mak-ing much money is glass and used unwear-able clothing The brokerage fee that Hartelrsquos charges for handling glass ($35 a ton) pretty much cancels out what they can get for it he said and therersquos no market at all right now for used clothing

ldquoWe dumpster itrdquo he said ldquoBefore the reces-sion it went to the auto industry but we lost those markets Therersquos less need for it and wersquove not been able to find good viable buyersrdquo

The Recycling Center is looking forward to making more money this year It just started

working with Hartelrsquos in December and it has been profitable he said

When the Recycling Center was first started in 1988 the goal was to substantially reduce the solid waste that was being trucked to land-fills Businesses were encouraged to recycle as were homeowners and the program has met some of its goals

ldquoOur goal was to hit a 35 percent rate for homeownersrdquo he said and that was met last year

But more could be done he added ldquoEvery business recyclesrdquo he said ldquoThey pay by vol-ume so it behooves them to reducerdquo

Homeowners on the other hand can recycle for free but many just donrsquot bother

The figures reflect this In all Cook County generated 4900 tons of solid waste in 2012 and 3636 tons of that ended up in landfills

Curbside pickup of domestic recyclables just isnrsquot feasible he said ldquoThe county canrsquot afford itrdquo

Insteadthe program has set up five rural col-lection points to make recycling easier for both households and businesses

Three of the five rural stations are specifically for businesses to use Collection stations up the Sawbill Trail in Tofte near the old airport and the one in Grand Portage are open for house-hold use as well The Grand Portage site also handles business waste including cardboard he said

ldquoGrand Portage is also paying to pull the trailer They bring it in to usrdquo he said ldquoTheyrsquore good stewards of what theyrsquore doing Their green trailer is always impeccably cared for seldom is anything in the wrong placerdquo

Quality recyclables have to be properly sorted and this requires a lot of hand labor Sylvester said which is the primary reason why the re-cycling center is not open to the public all day every day

The employees need time to sort and bale whatrsquos coming in every day he said The cen-ter has four full-time employees and one has to staff the Budget Shop for half a day so ev-erybody is scrambling to get things ready for shipment in the mornings he said

Typically they will fill a 53-foot tractor-trailer

with material every weekOne of the most time-consuming to pro-

cess and ironically one of the most prof-itable recyclables is mixed paper he said One thing homeowners are encouraged to do is recycle their junk mail and good quality paper because it brings a good price and shouldnrsquot be taking up room in a landfill

Last year 938 tons of mixed paper was generated in the county and only 37 per-cent of that was recycled Sylvester recom-mends that personal documents be shred-ded but all other mixed paper is welcome

Because the recycling program is focused on reducing all solid waste as well as being good stewards of the environment it also has organized hazardous waste and elec-tronic waste collections twice a year takes used oil and oil filters as well as lead batter-ies and purchases aluminum cans at $20 a pound from 1-230 pm each day It also takes yard waste

It does not accept furniture appliances or mattresses These can be disposed of for a fee at Petersonrsquos Disposal

The Recycling Center is open from 11 am to 4 pm Monday through Wednesday and on Friday 11 am to 6 pm Thursday and 9 am to 1 pm Saturday

Sylvester said that his personal goal is to increase homeowner participation in the re-

cycling program to 50 percent Recycling is easy he said ldquoItrsquos free itrsquos the right thing to do and itrsquos environmentally responsible We hope people will start recycling morerdquo

Cook County recycles tons of stuff

The Cook County Recycling Center trucks about 35000 pounds of recyclables every week to its broker in Proctor Manageroperator Jeff Sylvester is in one of the semi-trailers thatrsquos almost ready to go Photos by Joan Farnam
