Hi Gang, I thought I would let you all know that Q Prime was denied a conditional use permit by the Scott County Board of Commissioners today [in their quest to build an outdoor amphitheather adjacent to and aimed into the refuge at Louisville Swamp]. Many thanks to Lois for her hard work on this. She was one of the hardy souls who stayed until well after midnight last Wednesday to testify on this. I'm sure it helped. She was able to quote from the trail guide and tell the board that the birding trail was a state-funded project. There will be other battles in the future that will affect this and perhaps other sites on the trail. Our guide helps local authorities to understand the significance of the sites on the trail. I am still waiting to hear from the Friends about their annual shindig in September. I spoke briefly with Lori Nelson last night at the hearing and she said that the details on their end have not been worked out yet. I will pass them along as I hear of them. Have a great 4th of July weekend. Bob There is no word on whether Q-Prime is still considering their threatened court action. Steve Weston on Quigley Lake in Eagan [email protected]
