the dog and paid the impound fee. The township incurred no charges.
c. The Washington Conservation District brought to my attention an
issue of a noxious weed that can be fatal to animals and humans.
There is a large amount of Fox Glove growing on Pawnee Avenue off of
St. Croix Trail and on 95th Street North. I notified the residents
affected by letter of this and advised them of the proper removal of
this plant. It should be noted that this plant has not been found to
be growing in any other part of the state.

picnic on August 22nd at 1:00 p.m. for a demonstration.

property and the neighbors are satisfied at this time. The other one
has been empty for several years and may be a safety hazard. The
building inspector will go to the property and do an assessment and
report back to me with his recommendation.

Report - May 2010

Application was reviewed. Steve Nelson inspected the
kennel earlier this week and advised the board that
there were no complaints received in the past two years.
Additionally, the
Sheriff's Office has received no complaints. Pictures
were made available for the Board to see. The attorney
advised that the review process is not needed and the
Dog License Clerk can issue the permit if the letter and
fee is received. It was advised that Steve Nelson would
continue to provide an update at each new renewal to
keep them advised.

involved when events occur on township roads. Officer
Nelson will look into this matter and report my findings
next month.
F. A request was made to increase enforcement of the 4
way stop sign at the intersection of Stonebridge Trail
and Penfield Avenue North. It appears drivers are not

vehicles driving on Stonebridge Trail near the curve at

operated in this area.
H. Richard Schubert asked the Board to request MNDOT to
review the intersection of Hwy 96 at Norell Avenue
North. He thinks it is time to make changes to that
corner. He made several suggestions about how the
intersection could be reconfigured so it would be safer.
I will pass this on to the MNDOT engineer who is working
on the Hwy 96 road project that is expected to get
underway this summer. |

that are going through the township and there is a
safety issue. I checked with the City of Stillwater and

Cougar Warning -
On 1/10/2010 a resident on Minar Avenue North
reported seeing cougar tracks in their backyard and
under their deck. A DNR officer responded and checked
the tracks and determined with 90%+ certainty that it
was a cougar.
DNR Cougar Facts:
The DNR has received reports of cougars from across
Minnesota. But only a few reports have proven to be
true. Cougars can live wherever their main prey, deer,
are present. The cougar is a protected species in
Minnesota, meaning that it cannot be hunted or trapped.
The cougar is extremely rare and secretive, and few
Minnesotans have ever seen one. There are no reports of
cougars attacking humans in Minnesota. Biologists
believe that the cougars in Minnesota are wandering
through from the mountainous western states.
Residents should be aware of their surroundings when
they are outside and report any sighting to the police
department as soon as possible.

7/21/09 - Suspicious Activity
There
was a report tonight of a suspicious person driving a
powder blue 1993 Lincoln Town Car with license number
TYV924. The driver is a white male in his early 40's
and came to the door of several township residents with
a story about his mother being found on the floor in
Cannon Falls and he can't get there because his vehicle
is out of gas. He asks the residents for money to buy
gas for his van. It most likely is a scam but
authorities would like to speak with him.
If
you see or have contact with this person please call
Steve Nelson (439-0796) or the Sheriff's office
(439-9381) to report it right away. Do not let the
individual into your residence, but tell him to wait
outside while you call the Sheriff for him and have them
come out to help.
Subject has been Identified as of 7/24/2009. He is not
a suspect in any crime at this time, but it has been
found that the story regarding his mother has been found
to be false.

- Bear Sighting
This weekend
the Township Peace Officer has received 4 calls from residents about a bear that has been seen at the following locations and times:
* 5/29/2009 in the late afternoon - 10900 block of Stonebridge Trail North
* 5/29/2008 at 6:14 p.m. - 10800 block of Pawnee Avenue North
* 5/29/2009 at 8:28 p.m. - Stonebridge Trail and Partridge Road North
* 5/31/2009 at 9:00 a.m. - 10300 block of Norell Avenue North
One resident
reported that he and his dog were outside and the bear saw them, but paid no attention to them at all.
Remember not to leave food or garbage outside and to keep your pets and children away from the bear. This bear apparently likes bird feeders but they are all attracted to suet and can smell it a long ways off. He/she is not very large and appears to be a little over a year old.
If you see a bear, please call Steve Nelson and let him know so we can keep others informed of their
location(s). |
5/21/09
- April Police Report
Fire:
2 burning permits issued during the burning ban (both were DNR
Variance approved.)
Animal Control:
2 dogs impounded and both dogs were returned to the owner and the
impound fees were paid to the township.
Police:
1. Orwell Court complaint addressed. Trash is being left by the
parking area. Steve Nelson will be speaking with the other neighbors
in the area regarding this problem.
2. Updated Town Board on the Little Carnelian Lake Buckthorn cleanup
project. Issues with the chemical application portion of the project
still needs to be addressed
3. Township is still working on getting the old police radios sold.
4. A complaint was received about the large dirt pile at Manning
Avenue and Hwy 96. David Johnson will discuss this issue with the
Joint Planning Commission.
Tips:
1. Now that summer is approaching and the kids are out of school, be
sure to talk to them about not opening their doors to strangers.
Instead tell your children to tell the person thru the closed and
locked door that they will call the Sheriff and have someone meet
them at the end of the driveway. Do not tell them not to answer the
door as that may invite someone to believe that no one is home and
they may then attempt an entry. If that happens have them exit the
house quickly and go to a neighbor or other safe location that you
have discussed with them and call 911 as soon as possible.
2. Remember, if a sales person in Stillwater comes to your door
attempting to solicit they must have a valid permit (with picture)
signed by Steve Nelson and the Town Board Chairperson) If you are
still not sure try to get a vehicle license number and a description
of the person and call the Sheriff or myself right away. This
ordinance does not apply to regular deliveries (such as Simon
Delivers, Culligan, etc) or to non-profit organizations (Boy or Girl
Scouts) and religious groups.
3. Call Steve Nelson or 911 anytime you see something suspicious or
strange happening. We are here to help!

- Resident's Help Needed
On Sunday May
10th at 12:00 noon about 50 yards South of 108th Street North on Oakgreen Avenue North, an adult female was bitten by a dog that
was walking with it's owner. The description of the dog is a mixed
breed black and gray medium sized dog with black spots on the gray
area and a snout that looked like a Labrador type dog. The dog was
on a long leash and bit the victim on the right leg just above the
knee. Medical attention was needed.
The description of the dog owner was a white male about 50-55 years
old and wearing lighter colored pants with knee high light blue
shorts. He had a long sleeve dark gray shirt and was about 5'-11"
tall with a medium build and tan skin.
We would like help from anyone who may have seen this happen or
might know who the dog owner is. We are mainly concerned that the
dog has current rabies shots. If you have any information call the
Police Chief at 651-439-0796 anytime.

- March Police Report
Fire:
19 burning permits issued, 4 were for buckthorn.
Animal Control:
2 dogs impounded and both owners recovered their dogs and paid the
impound fees.
Police:
3 road restriction permits issued.
Tips:
When using the parking lots at our many parks:
1. Lock your vehicles and leave nothing in plain site. Windows are
easy to break and items can be removed by thieves quickly.
2. When returning to your vehicle be aware of your surrounding,
have your keys in hand so you can open your vehicle quickly and
if you think something looks wrong, it probably is.
We live in a very safe area, however bad things can happen. A little
prevention goes a long way. You can check for a criminal history
on anyone in Minnesota by going to www.mncriminals.com While you
are on this site you can also search any zip code for registered
Level 3 Sex Offenders living there. Registration is required but
there is no charge for this service. These are public records.

Home Safety: With kids in school and most
parents working, winter is a good time to remind
everyone to keep your doors locked when you are away.
It's also a good idea to have them locked even when you
are at home. Do not let anyone into your house if you
do not know them. Tell them you will call 911 and ask
that the dispatcher send an officer out to help the
person at your door.
ID Theft: Do not give any personal information to anyone
over the phone. Most legitimate institutions will not
ask you for personal information by a phone call. I
suggest that anyone who asks you for money by phone be
told that you do not do business by telephone
with anyone. If you receive a suspicious phone call,
contact myself or the Sheriff as soon as possible.

Suspicious Activity
We
had a report last night of a suspicious
red or maroon van, possibly a Ford Econo
van, with the license plate in the window. The driver is a
white male and came to the door of several township residents
with a story about his mother or father being in the hospital in
Eau Claire, WI. He asks the residents for money to buy gas
for his van.
If
you see or have contact with this person call me (439-0796) or
the Sheriff's office (439-9381) to report it. Do not let the
individual into your residence, but tell him you will call the
Sheriff for him and have them help him.
At
this time we do not suspect this person of any crime but we do
wish to speak with him.
