Greetings and happy Spring to all. It’s been a very busy winter for the board. A subcommittee was formed late last fall to study what is arguably the best ‘DETERENT’ for AIS at public boat landings. The system is call I-LIDS (Internet Landing Installed Device Sensor). The I-LIDS is a self contained, solar powered system installed at boat ramps to reduce the risk of AIS through video inspection of boats and audio education of boaters.” The committee conducted an extensive review of the system including discussion with the

Ten Mile Lake Assn who have it installed and are very pleased with it. Then we approached Cass County Environmental Services and they approved a $5000 grant for the system which reduced the $12,000 investment by 42%!

Welcome to New Board Member: Dick Bottorff

Dick Bottorff, from McKeown Lake, and Minneapolis, has joined the Lakes Association in the Aquatic Invasive Species role. Dick and his

wife Nancy and kids have been on the west side of McKeown Lake since 1994 when they bought the old fixer-upper Broderick cabin. After many mis-adventures, including the kids getting covered in tar they discovered in the old Broderick woodshed, the cabin was finally rehabbed and rounded into decent shape. If you see them on the dock, be sure to stop for a chat!

Neighborhood News

We’re looking for a few volunteers!

AIS Volunteers: Preventing Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) is

one of the most critical issues for the members of our Lakes Association. We are looking for volunteers who are interested in learning about identifying AIS, informing the public

about aquatic invasive species, and learning how to slow their spread. The DNR is conducting AIS volunteer training from DNR Watercraft Inspection Program staff. Training sessions will be offered in each of four DNR regions. Dick Bottorff, our AIS Coordinator for the Lakes Association will be participating this year, and it is open to other interested volunteers. Please contact Dick at [email protected] or call Dick at 612-590-7654 for the current training session dates and locations. If you can’t do the training, don’t worry, contact Dick anyway for other opportunities to assist in the effort to stop the spread of invasive species.

Historian: Whether you’ve been a lifelong resident or cabin owner or simply love history, weSearch for and maintain a collection of historical events and

developments that have occurred in our watershed area. Please call Brian Laudenbach (320) 248-4907 to inquire.

Lake Association Board: There are lots of ways to get involved and be part of the action that makes our Lakes Association run successfully. If you’re interested in

learning more, please call Brian Laudenbach (320) 248-4907 for more information.

Thank You, Cass County Environmental Services: $5,000 Grant Award

On behalf of the Board of Directors and property owners on Baby, Kid, Kerr, Lost, Man and McKeown Lakes, we’d like to warmly say “Thank You!” to the Cass County Environmental Services for awarding a generous $5,000 grant to our Lake Association for the installation of an I-LIDS Camera System at the Baby Lake Public Boat Launch. Thank you! (Read more about I-LIDS on page 8)

Man Lake Pizza Party

All Man Lake lakeshore owners and their families are invited to the annual Man Lake pizza party to be held Saturday, June 8 from 11:30 to 2:00pm at Gary and Linnea Dietrich's on Buxton Road. Bring your favorite pizza

toppings and we will provide the pizza dough and sauce. After you make your pizza, Linnea will bake it in the Dietrichs' wood fired brick oven. (At 700 degrees it takes only about five minutes!)

We will provide salads, water and lemonade, paper plates, cups, utensils and desserts. Please bring lawn chairs for your group. Dress for the weather and hope for sunshine.

Please RSVP with our Man Lake representative, Lois Anderson, by calling (612) 275-8806 or email [email protected], or Linnea Dietrich, (612) 810-340 or [email protected]. Also, please let us know how many will be coming so we can make enough pizza crusts.

We look forward to seeing familiar faces and we hope to see new ones as we start the summer at the lake.

4th of July Boat Parades

We’re looking forward to another Independence Day

celebration on our lakes. Decorate your favorite watercraft and join the fun in our boat parades on Baby Lake (11am), McKeown Lake (11am) and Kid-Lost Lakes (11am). Guests from neighboring lakes welcome!

I Can See for Miles and Miles by Michael Gulbrandson, Past President

It has been half a century since “The Who” rang out the melody “I can see for miles and miles.” While the rest of the lyrics are not on point, the phrase frequently comes to mind as I look out my window to see those “miles and miles.” We often speak of the

water clarity of our lakes. We see the fish off our dock and the lake bottom. In winter in the ice house, I see my minnow finning at 20 feet. But have you considered the air about us? I used to hear with satisfaction “visibility unlimited” during my preflight weather report in my long past private piloting days. Now I am retired, living where the only occasional impairment on visibility is the smoke from a forest fire hundreds or thousands of miles away. By staring at our sky, you find out that really there are no boundaries or limitations. You can see that there are not borders in space, time or gravity; that beyond this planet of ours there is a huge space of experiences unopened and unrevealed.

What is above and around us is beautiful: the rainbows, the golden sun, the orange new moon and the stars all make the sky awesomely beautiful. In our sharply clean fresh air you can conceal yourself while sitting openly on the deck of your lake home, in beauty, hope, and solace. How often have I looked to the east at clouds passing over Longville 10 or more miles away, or at night watched the Longville airport beacon regularly flash its presence? How often have I watched a high flying eagle. Is there anyone reading this whom has not ventured out on their dock on a moonless night to gaze into the universe with stars horizon to horizon, with the Milky Way spanning the heavens? To watch meteors streak across the night sky. Or pick out the satellites now far more numerous than when I was a pre-teen and would look to the 1962 newspaper to find out when the Telstar satellite would pass overhead. During the day,or night, I can spot a jet passing 5 miles overhead, consult an app on my phone (such as Flight Aware) and learn that those people, so near yet so far, are from Tokyo headed for Chicago or Dallas, or maybe a FedEx going to Winnipeg. Yes, for me I am thankful for living where “I can see for miles and miles.”

Meet Our Beaver Trapper: Jeff Peterson by Brian Laudenbach

Jeff Peterson, pictured here at the Baby/Kid channel in March, has helped our association keep our waterways open and flowing which is vital in maintaining proper lake levels.

Jeff has done a great job for us and we thank him. He is also our County Commissioner. In his spare time he makes wood that is available for sale and also provides Swanson Bait with their wholesale leeches that he secures from local ponds. We appreciate his involvement with our association.

It’s Good to Know

Celebrating 20 years of Water Testing by Michael Gulbrandson, Past President

Did you know? Our 6 Lakes uses RMB Environmental Laboratories to test

the waters of our lakes every odd year?

Minnesota is the “Land of 10,000 Lakes,” and we pride ourselves in enjoying these lakes throughout the year. Because lakes are such a valuable resource to us recreationally and economically, it is important to monitor their water quality to assess current conditions and more importantly monitor changes in water quality over time. Recreational enjoyment, fishing, wildlife habitat quality, and property values are all tied to water quality. Associations can monitor water quality to learn about seasonal variability and year-to-year variability. Condition monitoring involves collecting at least 5 samples during the growing season. The association tasks this volunteer effort to your lake representative. Monitoring can be thought of as a proactive prevention water quality strategy as opposed to a mitigation strategy. Committing the time and money, $220 for each of our six lakes, to monitoring will mean that you can catch and

document any water quality problems before they get too big and expensive to fix. If abrupt changes in water quality occur, you're able to investigate potential causes and respond accordingly. Secondly, after 8-10 years of consecutive data you can statistically determine through the use of trend analysis if the water quality is improving or declining.

Our association has over 20 years of data with our waters excellent and stable. Our participating in RMB Lab’s Lake Monitoring Program is an excellent strategy for

understanding your lake and protecting it from decline. It is also helpful for getting association members involved, and caring about their lake. The monitoring must be done on a specific Sunday near noon, with the water samples delivered Monday morning to a collection site in Longville. I encourage your participation in one or both of these tasks. Occasionally your lake representative will have a time conflict. So please call your lake rep and offer to pair up so as not to miss your lake test. I know it is greatly appreciated.

Want to find your lake’s testing results? Results will be posted in RMBEL online database 7-10 days after sample collection. Visit http://rmbel.info/lakes and click on Lakes Monitoring Database.

“Think of lake monitoring like a “health physical” for your

lake. You hope you don’t find anything out of the ordinary,

but you need to check it so that if you do find a problem

you can address it right away.”

HF 2209 Passes in MN State Legislation In April, the House Environment and Natural Resources Finance Committee passed HF 2209, the Omnibus Environment and Natural Resources Finance bill. We would like to thank Rep. Rick Hansen and the other House Environment and Natural Resources Finance Committee for their pro-lake bill. This package contains many measures and funding that will advance the missions of lake associations working to stop the spread of AIS.

HF 2209:Omnibus Environment and Natural Resources Finance bill

Restores lake association aquatic invasive plant management grants at $500k annually

Provides $1 million annually to provide baseline funding for the Minnesota Aquatic Invasive Species Research Center

Increases funding for DNR AIS efforts including inspection, decontamination, education and enforcement efforts.

Feature Story: AIS Infested Waters in Cass County

The Minnesota DNR Infested Waters in Cass County If your watercraft has been in one of these infested bodies of water recently, please do not launch your watercraft in one of our six lakes without taking the following proper precautions. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) maintains an Infested Waters List of waters containing high priority aquatic invasive species. The DNR will add a lake, river, pond or wetland to the infested waters list if it contains one of these aquatic invasive species. The DNR may also list a lake, river, pond or wetland as infested if it is connected to a body of water where an aquatic invasive species is present. About 7% of Minnesota's more than 11,000 lakes are on the infested waters list. Less than 3% of Minnesota lakes are listed as infested with zebra mussels. As of October 2018, we have confirmed zebra mussels in 180 lakes and wetlands. We have listed 167 bodies of water as infested with zebra mussels because they are closely connected to a waterway where zebra mussels have been found.

AIS Infested Waters – Cass County

The MN DNR Infested Waters Map shows already infested waters including Leech, Upper & Lower Whitefish, Pelican and Cross Lakes.

What can we do?

We all can help stop the spread of aquatic invasive species. Take these steps every time you leave a lake or river - whether or not it's infested.

Clean all aquatic plants, zebra mussels, and other invasive species from boats, trailers, and water-related equipment. Spray with high pressure water.

Run motor or personal watercraft for a few seconds to discharge water before leaving the water access.

Rinse watercraft with very hot water. Hot water temperatures will kill zebra mussels and some other AIS according to the MN DNR: 120°F for at least 2 minutes; or 140°F for at least 10 seconds.

Drain water from your boat, ballast tanks, motor, live well and bait container. Remove drain plugs and keep drain plugs out while transporting equipment.

Dry your watercraft for at least 5 days before re-launching in another lake

Dispose of unwanted bait in the trash. To keep live bait, drain the water and refill the bait container with bottled or tap water.

Transport fish on ice – be prepared, bring a cooler.

Lake Safety

A Note From Our 6 Lakes Buoy Master by Chuck Millberg

As we approach another summer boating season on our beautiful six lakes, it’s important to reacquaint ourselves with the navigation aids used on Baby and Man Lakes. Buoys are navigation aids that float on top of the water and are moored to the bottom of the lake with a chain and heavy anchor. Our 6 Lakes buoys are cylindrical in shape, eight inches in diameter, and approximately 6-8 feet long, although only 3-4 feet protrude above the surface of the water. The markings on each buoy alert you to the following:

Black & White Vertical Stripes: Indicates that there is a shoreward obstruction (a line of rocks, etc.) and that you should not pass between the buoy and the nearest point on shore.

White with Orange Diamond: Warns boaters of a specific danger such as an underwater rock or cluster of rocks. The source of danger may be lettered in black.

White with Orange Circle and Black Lettering: Alerts boaters to a controlled or restricted area on the water. The most common restriction is a “slow no-wake” area. Slow no-wake means operating your boat at the slowest possible speed necessary to maintain steerage, but in no case greater than five miles-per-hour. We have three slow no-wake buoys in Tussler’s Bay near the Baby Lake public access.

If you see a buoy that is damaged or needs attention, please contact Chuck Millberg at 218-682-3938 or email at [email protected]. Please note the buoys may not be in until after fishing opener. For additional boating information please refer to the Minnesota Boating Guide which can be found at www.dnr.minnesota.gov/regulations/boatwater.

Coming Soon to the Baby Lake Pubic Boat Launch: I-LIDS (Internet Landing Installed Device Sensor)

The I-LIDS is a self-contained, solar powered system installed at boat ramps to reduce the risk of Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) through video inspection of boats and audio education of boaters.

I-LIDS PROVIDE:

Standalone Deployment - Solar powered, 4G cellular, high resolution camera, vandal resistant 24/7 Video Inspection - Remote camera captures high resolution video to secure website

Efficient Review - Playback from browser of videos with condition, date, time, and boat. Remote Support - Network and camera changes can be made remotely.

Audio Education - Recorded message tells users to remove plants and animals.

Enforcement Evidence - Suspect AIS violations are identified and sent to law enforcement. Citations and warnings have been issued as a result of I-LIDS use.

Cabin Fun

S’mores Cookies by Sue Ready

Cook's Notes: No need to have a campfire to enjoy this cookie dessert. Served warm it's gooey, chocolaty and tastes just like the traditional s'more. Maybe even better as the marshmallows don't get burned. Recipe adapted from BHG and makes 20 cookies. Ingredients: • 1- 16.5 oz. roll of refrigerated chocolate chip cookie

dough (I used Nestles Chocolate Chips) • ½ cup finely crushed graham crackers (3 sleeves) divided • 10 whole regular marshmallows, halved crosswise • 2 large 4.4 oz Hersheys Chocolate Bars (There will be

some left over for the cook.) Directions: Bring roll of cookie dough to room temperature for easier handling. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl stir together cookie dough and 1/3 cup crushed graham crackers. Shape dough into 1 inch balls and place 2 inches apart on baking sheet. Place sheet in freezer for 10 minutes to chill. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake 8-9 minutes. Place a marshmallow half, cut side up, in the center of each cookie. Top with a piece of chocolate. Return pan back to oven until marshmallows are softened. Watch carefully so as not to over bake. Sprinkle cookies immediately with rest of graham cracker crumbs. Let cookies set for a few minutes and transfer to a wire cooling rack.
