New Changes Coming to the Eagle Park!
If you have driven by the park you have probably noticed kids playing basketball during all kids of weather. You may also have noticed the court is cracked and the hoops are falling apart.
You have probably also noticed that part of the skate park has been removed. The wood that was rotting was removed. Only half of the ramps remain.
The basketball court is being completely redone with a full size court in it's place and regulation hoops.
The sand volleyball court will be removed from it's current location and replaced next the the new basketball court.
The town board is moving forward with these changes to not only improve the Park but to improve the health and safety of our children. Our town maintenance crew has added this additional work to their already full load. Thank you!
Changes to Game and Parks permitting
2010 will be bringing about some significant changes to permitting. All of the common hunt/fish type permits will be issued through the electronic system, even at external vendor locations. Some permit fee changes in summary:
The Habitat Stamp for 2010 will be $20.00 (a $4.00 increase). This also means the Lifetime Habitat Stamp will go from $320 to $400 January 1, 2010.
The Aquatic Habitat Stamp for 2010 will be $10.00 (a 2.50 increase)....note this adds to the cost of Fishing permits (except the 1-day). So while no increase to the Fishing permit fees were made, their costs will increase due to the increase in the incorporated Aquatic Habitat Stamp.
Nonresident Paddlefish Permits will increase $20 to the 2010 rate of $40.00
A Nonresident Combination Hunt and Fish permit was created for a fee of $120.00 (add the required $10.00 aquatic stamp and necessary $20.00 habitat stamp and the cost will be $150 plus the issue fee ($1.00 from NPC or $2.00 from external agent).
Resident Lifetime Furharvest permits were established with similar cost and age breaks as the resident lifetime hunt permit.
Perhaps one of the more dramatic and unprecedented moves was the creation of youth deer, antelope and turkey permits at record low price of $5.00. This price is for either resident or nonresident participants age 15 and below. The goal is to increase interest and participation by young hunters.
Changes involving nonrefundable application fees for our new ‘lottery' type permit offerings. These new offerings that will become available next year, might include such things as a ‘statewide' elk permit or a multispecies permit that would allow the harvest of a deer, 2 turkeys, an antelope and perhaps in some cases an elk. The actual offerings will be determined in wildlife regulations. These permits would be offered in a similar fashion as the Bighorn Sheep permit, where an individual can apply and be put in a drawing.

Manley, NE [November 9, 2009]- The Lofte takes great pride in utilizing the performing arts to give young people self-confidence and public speaking skills.
