Residents on Horseshoe Lake pleaded with the Todd County Commissioners to consider the environmental and safety effects of future development along that lake. At issue was a proposed development of nine lots along the shore of this small lake located in Ward Township, northeast of Browerville. The lake currently has 36 homes, including a campground. Ellen Peters, who represented the Horseshoe Lake landowners, stated, “ We need to limit the number of lots. Our lakes are overdeveloped.”

Leading the Tigers on offense was Larissa Thielen with six kills, two tips and one stuff block. Megan Geraets added four kills and two each ace tips and blocks.

All sheep owners in the county should plan to attend the Ram Exchange Day which is scheduled for Wednesday, September 26, at the Todd County Fairgrounds in Long Prairie. This is the first such program being arranged by the County Extension Service since 1947. As the program arranged that year proved to be of such small interest it was discontinued until this year. Interest in sheep raising appears to definitely be on the increase at present.
