Is this just cyclical, or has

of the year
The Minnesota Academy
of
Family
Physicians
(MAFP) is seeking nominations from patients to help
select the 2015 Minnesota

If you feel that your family

patients in an extraordinary
way and deserves to be recognized for a job well done,
please send a letter to tell us
about your special family
doctor.
The Family Physician of
the Year Award is presented
annually to a doctor who specializes in Family Medicine.

behalf of a particular family
physician who they feel is
doing exceptional work.
Nomination letters can be

Radiothon to End
Child Abuse seeks
auction items
The Radiothon to End
Child Abuse is currently
accepting auction items for
the 21st annual event, scheduled for Dec. 4 and 5.
The Radiothon is a joint
effort of the Crow Wing
County Child Protection
Team, Prevent Child Abuse
Minnesota and the radio stations, WJJY 106.7 FM,
COOL 103.5 FM, B93.3 FM
and 107.5 FM The Power
Loon.
The Radiothon is an
annual fund-raiser to support
children and families in need.
In addition to a pledge line,
the Radiothon also has an
auction line where bids can
be placed on a variety of
items donated from the community. 100 percent of all
monies raised from the auction remain in Crow Wing
County to benefit those most
at risk.
Any donated auction item
with a retail value of $50 or
more will be featured on the
Radiothon auction Web site
and a link to the business or
organization Web site will be
attached. Auction items and
donors names will be broadcast continuously over the
radio during the Radiothon.
Each year the auction Web
site has thousands of hits,
which is a great way to provide advertising and awareness for a business or organization that donates to this
good cause.
Those interested in providing an auction item for the
Radiothon can contact Kris
Ott at 824-1161 or e-mail her
a
t
Krisanne.ott@crowwing.us
Deadline for auction item
submission is Nov. 17.
deer through third weekend
Minnesota hunters registered 111,000 deer through
the third and last weekend of
firearms deer season, down
31,000 from the same period
in 2013, according to the
Minnesota Department of
Natural Resources.
So far this year during special hunts and the archery,
early antlerless and firearms
seasons, hunters have harvested 127,000 deer, down
from the 2013 to-date harvest
total of 160,000.
This year’s lower harvest
is by design because regulations were implemented to
place more deer – particularly
does – off limits to increase
Minnesota’s deer population.
The DNR’s ongoing deer
management work also
includes upcoming revisions
to the deer population goals
for large portions of northeastern, north-central and
east-central Minnesota. This
is part of a multi-year goal-
setting process for the entire
state. People interested in
helping set these deer population goals can get more information on the process and
opportunities for involvement
at www.mndnr.gov/deer.
Additional deer will be
harvested during the late
southeastern season, which
ran through Sunday, Nov. 30,
and the muzzleloader season,
which began Saturday, and
continues through Sunday,
Dec. 14. The archery season
also runs through Wednesday,
Dec. 31.

Lodge Hoop Shoot Contest is
