"When we talk about snowfall in a...

It happened again for at least the third time since 2014. The Hill County Park Board or the Hill County commissioners have squashed an effort to secure an up-to-date natural resources assessment for the Beaver Creek watershed or Beaver Creek Park. This time it was voted down to even look into arranging some support to do an assessment. The reason offered this time seems to be fear of undefined “strings attached” or “free money.” Yet, Beaver Creek Park regularly goes after grants and funds for infrastructure and other project...

I promise. I promise! This is the last article I'm going to write about our trip this summer to Alaska. Several friends have asked if we plan to go again and our answer is "Yes, we would love to, but we have some places we would like to see in addition to Alaska ... like the Holy Land." We will see how that works out. Rod and I have talked about what things we would do differently and what things we would like to do over. If we do go again, we would go a different direction....
The Hill County Park Board for several months has been hearing proposals for alternative ways to control the beaver population in Beaver Creek Park, but one user of the park says the best way is how it has been done for decades - trapping.
