Patoka River National Wildlife Refuge seeking summer workers The Patoka River National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) will tentatively sponsor a Youth Conservation Corps ( YCC) employment program for the summer of 2016, based on funding availability, Ref- uge Manager William Mc- Coy has announced. The eight-week education- al work program would run from June 6 to July 29, is for young men and women, 15 through 18 years of age. Par- ticipants must reside within either Pike or Gibson coun- ties as Patoka River NWR is located in both counties. The purpose of the YCC program is to further the de- velopment and maintenance of the natural resources of the United States while pro- viding gainful employment for America's youth. Pato- ka River NWR hosted YCC crews from 2009 through 2015. The crews performed numerous work assignments from surveying wildlife pop- ulations, posting bound- ary signs, controlling inva- sive plant species, painting observation decks and ki- osks, and picking up road- side trash. The experience will also include environmental edu- cation opportunities. Partic- ipants will do hard physical work and will be exposed to insects, poison ivy, adverse weather and difficult work- ing conditions. Enrollee's pay will be the established Federal mini- mum wage rate, which is presently $7.25 per hour. Work will consist of 40 hours a week, Monday through Fri- day, from 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Central time. All YCC enrollees are required to have Federal salary pay- ments made by direct depos- it to a personal account of a financial institution of their choosing. Applications must be re- ceived no later than 4:30 p.m., Central time, on Mon- day, April 25, at refuge head- quarters in Oakland City. Four applicants will be se- lected for employment in a random drawing held on Tuesday, April 26, at 9 a.m., Central time, at refuge head- quarters. Selected enrollees will be evenly divided be- tween male and female ap- plicants. Patoka River National Wildlife Refuge Headquar- ters is located at 510 ½ West Morton Street in Oakland City.

DNR burns Brown County State Park woodlands for preservation Smoke may create public aware- ness. The Department of Natural Re- sources, Fire Control Headquarters will be conducting a prescribed fire in Brown County State Park between March 21-25. Firing operations are scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. and cease around 4 p.m. Nashville and the surrounding communities may experience the presence of smoke. The burn will address the lack of oak regeneration in the 10 O'Clock Line Nature Preserve within the state park. The DNR conducts the burning in order to preserve the ar- ea's high-quality oak woodland hab- itat, which requires more sunny, open conditions. Without the fires, competing vegetation would replace the oaks, eventually eliminating the plants and animals typical of the oak forests. The Department of Natu- ral Resources has received numerous questions re- garding recent legislation that legalizes certain rifles for deer hunting beginning later this year. Most ques- tions have to do with cali- bers and cartridges allowed under the new law. House Enrolled Act 1231 that was passed earlier this year by the Indiana General Assembly allows some ad- ditional rifle cartridges to be used only on private land during the firearms season. The new legal cartridg- es include, but are not limit- ed to, the .243 Winchester, .30 -30 Winchester, .300 A AC Blackout, and .30 -06 Springfield. Additional re- quirements are: • The rifle must have a barrel length of at least 16 inches • The rifle cartridges must have a cartridge case length of least 1.16 inches • The rifle cartridge must fire a bullet with a di- ameter that is .243 inches (or 6 mm); or .308 inches (or 7.62 mm) • No cartridges with a bullet diameter between .243 and .308 are legal (such as the .270 Win- chester) • A hunter may not pos- sess more than 10 such car- tridges while in the field Rifles with pistol car- tridges that have been al- lowed in previous years may still be used to hunt deer on both private and SUBSCRIBE TODAY!
