Clay birds suffice for Bird Hunter Club members Several Pike County Bird Hunter Club members took up arms to blast clay birds on the trap range next to their new clubhouse. After Thursday's meet- ing at "The Best Little Bird House" in Pike Coun- ty, shooting from left to right are: Bill Daily, Richard Lane, Bill Gowen, Ole Olsen, Jr. and club president Steve Boyer. The heat had lessened enough by 7:30 p.m. for pleasant activity outdoors. Petersburg's Richard Lane, pictured above, found time to powder a few birds on the Pike County Bird Hunters trap range after the Thursday evening meal and meeting in the new clubhouse. Lane did well with his over and under shotgun. He said it had been quite a while since he had shot on the Bird Hunter Club trap range.

Each summer, wildlife biologists and volunteers con- duct brood surveys, counting the number of young wild turkeys observed with turkey hens to estimate how ma- ny young turkeys live through the summer. This year, DNR aims to collect 3,000 brood observa- tion reports across the state with a goal of at least 25 ob- servations per county. Biologists are especially interest- ed in obtaining more observations in the southeastern portion of the state. Individuals interested in participating can register and report turkeys at on.IN.gov/turkeybrood. Instructions for the survey and an illustrative guide on how to report ob- servations of wild turkey broods and hens is provided on the registration site, as are the results of the previous sum- mers' survey. WILL MY PROPERTY BE ZONED? According to APC Attorney Mike Schopmeyer, of Kahn Dees Donovan and Kahn countywide zoning will affect: • Any property not in town limits; • Note Haubstadt and Princeton residents already have zoning within their town limits; the zoning will go up to the town line. Previously, Princeton and Haubstadt's zon- ing affected a certain number of miles beyond their bor- ders, which will no longer be the case; • Fort Branch and Owensville residents within town limits will live in unzoned pockets as the zoning will end at the town line. have to agree the expense was necessary. They asked if the county could agree to $100,000 insur- ance against bodily injury and property damage, and anoth- er $100,000 insurance against environmental damage. COAL/NATURAL GAS Coal and natural gas inter- ests again asked for a com- plete exemption in the zon- ing ordinance. Coal companies aren't peti- tioning counties with zoning to remove their restrictions, Schopmeyer said. He added a lot of politicians are calling on behalf of those interests. Board member Mike Mc- Connell said the county is es- sentially asking for notifica- tion, not more than the com- pany provides at the state lev- el. "We made concessions for them. They want to be treat- ed differently than other in- dustries," Schopmeyer said, adding from a legal stand- point the firm does not rec- ommend that. Board member April Grap- er agreed. "We don't want to just give them 'carte blanche,'" she said. PUBLIC INPUT President Steve Obert said the group, when scheduling, believed they needed at least two meetings to draft the or- dinance into a final form. The second meeting to work on the draft will be from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. today, Tuesday, July 14, when the board expects to have maps of the zones avail- able. Masks and distancing may be required. According to APC Board president Steve Obert, if nothing is said that hasn't been said before when the APC hosts a public hearing, they would plan to forward the draft to county commis- sioners, who will have the fi- nal vote on whether to pass zoning in the county. "Those of us who have served on APC do not feel it's being rushed," Obert said.
