Dear Todd:
The 1999 Twin Cities Metropolitan Area Canada goose capture and
removal program was completed in late July. The results show a
significant decline in the geese trapped in a year of excellent
production and the highest number of trapping locations.
We trapped at 126 sites compared 121 in 1998, and capturing 1,925
adult geese in contrast to 2,395 last year, and 4,250 gosling
compared to 5,183 in 1998 (attached Table 1 & Figure 1). The 19%
decrease in the number of birds trapped occurred in spite of a 4%
increase in the number of trapping locations (Figure 2). In addition,
gosling production was only slightly below that of 1998 and 1997--
1997 was the highest year in past 18 years (Figure 3). Moreover,
the number of new trapping sites which increased in 1999 (23%) of
the total sites was even higher in 1999 (25%).
The 1999 capture crews trapped 98.6% of all flightless geese they
attempted to capture, a 0.1% increase over last year (Figure 4).
While the summer was warmer that 1997 and 1998, the number of
geese dying during trapping was very low (Table 1). Only one adult
goose died during trapping, and no birds were captured with pre-
existing injuries so serious that they had to be humanly killed.
So with more new sites, more sites overall, great
production, and a high trapping rate, the 1999 goose
removal declined by 1,403 birds. Why? When I reviewed the
number of geese at sites in many of the cities where we have
trapped for a number of years, the 1999 goose numbers clearly
show a decline in geese present at these locations. After 18 years of
removal with more than 59,900 geese (more than all of the resident
geese in the Mississippi Flyway when I started my research on geese
in 1968) the impact of the program is becoming clear. The Twin
Cities goose population is no longer growing in many cities and in
some the bird numbers have declining.
You may recall that in November 1998 a Judge rejected a lawsuit
filed in Federal Court by the Humane Society of Minnesota, the
Humane Society of the U.S., and Friends of Animals and Their
Environment (FATE). These folks claimed that U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service had ignored technical aspects of the Migratory Bird Treaty
Act (MBTA). The plaintiffs appealed and the case was argued in
June 1999. A ruling is expected in September. I will notify you if
there will any changes in the goose program as a result of the
Appeals Court ruling.
Our WEB site has been active for a year now and more than 600
visitors have used the site. The site contains information on the
Canada goose, goose damage management techniques, research
papers, and links to other sites include those of organizations that
oppose the current goose management program. The address of the
site is www,fw.um.edu; the goose information is located under
extension. I hope you find this site helpful and feel free to refer
others to the site.
We trapped and removed the following number of geese from
Chanhassen sites in 1999:
Site Date Young Adults Total
Lake Minnewashta 6/17/99 25 8 33
Lake Minnewashta 6/17/99 15 6 21
Lotus 6/17/99 1 9 9 2 8
Lotus Lake 6 / 17 / 9 9 6 4 1 0
Pond on Near Mountain 6/21/99 21 7 28
Pond at Hunter Drive 6/23/99 48 19 67
Total 134 2 3 1 87
Because no state has been willing to take adult geese since 1995, the
1,925 adults geese captured in 1999 were processed at a Wisconsin
Department of Agriculture inspected plant. This yielded nearly
19,000 pounds of whole frozen goose for the Twin Cities food
shelves. All of the young geese trapped were released at Minnesota
and Iowa sites. The demand for goslings appears to be declining.
Minnesota wildlife managers surveys show that there are only a few
spots left within the state where Canada goose populations not
healthy. Similarly, Iowa, which has been releasing young geese in
the southern part of the state, has indicated that they too have
limited areas lacking geese. We expect to relocate young next year
but may not be able to find spots for all of them in 2001.
In summary, we had an excellent trapping program in 1999, but for
the 6xh consecutive year we were subjected to a time consuming legal
challenge. I'm looking forward to a similar effort in 2000, hopefully
without any additional court actions. If you have questions, please
feel free to contact me at 612-624-1223 or 651-644-6206.
Sincerely yours,
Dr. James A. Cooper

Animal rights groups appeal goose roundup ruling
ST. PAUL (AP) -- The annual roundup of Canada geese in the Twin Cities
area may be in jeopardy.
Animal rights groups have asked a federal appeals court to reinstate their
lawsuit against the practice.
The Minnesota Humane Society, Friends of Animals and Their
Environment, and the Humane Society of the United States filed the
appeal with the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in St. Paul.
The groups say federal Judge James Rosenbaum erred when he dismissed
their lawsuit. Rosenbaum has ruled against the groups twice this year,
most recently early this month.
Roundup opponents have been trying to block a federal permit that
allows the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources to round
up 6, 800 geese each summer. Most of the birds get relocated, but up to
2, 500 are killed, processed and sent to food shelves.
State and federal officials say the roundups are needed to control the
metro area' s goose population.

Max Ice Software
Max]ce and MaxScheduIe are powerful and easy-to-use
arena productivity software modules designed for arena
managers and sports organizations to effectively manage
ice resources. It is currently being used in all other
District 6 finks.
Since we need Maxlce in place to utilize the functionality of
MaxSchedule the CCHA is funding 1/2 of the City's cost to
purchase Max Ice making it a win/win for both groups. Thank
you Chris Goodman and Tom Redman for facilitating the
process from the City's perspective.
Here am just a few benefits of MaxSchedule
:
,. Streamline the scheduling process for the City of
Chaska and CCHA. This would provide online search
capabilities to allow Chds and Randy to work together to
fully utilize the ice, reallocate ice, and advise coaches of
open ice.
· No double bookings
· Downloadable schedule data from Maxlce
· Prints team schedules/calendars
· Post schedules/calendars on CCHA website
· Prints team usage reports (helpful for budgeting).

Your custom Mouthguards will be ready a week later and will be
given to the level commissioners for distribution. If an additional
Mouthguard is desired or you need a replacement during the
season, there will be a charge of $25. If you have an orthodontic
appliance, it is better to use a loose fitting Mouthguard which can
be formed in warm water. We will provide those mouthguards if
needed.
The MSHL and MAHA mandate the weadng of mouthguards for
those participating in hockey. The American Dental Association
has reported that more than 200,000 injuries are prevented each
year by mouthguards. Even though mouthguards can greatly
reduce sports injures, Dr's Holmberg and Vayda can not be held
responsible for any damage to a player's teeth while wearing
these mouthguards.

Believing is Seeing...
By: Jim Leone,
Past-President, CCHA
SeveraI years ago we started a journey to become the prevailing
model of youth hockey excellence in the state. I say it's a journey
and not a destination because it's an endeavor that may never be
fully achieved. Many people didn~ buy into this vision. W~nile some
said to go for it, many said it couldn't be done and many others gave
their opinion by virtue of their silence. I'd hear, 'This is Chaska. Be
realistic." And, "When I see it, then I'1I believe it". Thankfully, there
were those of you who had a bit of faith and agreed that this was a
case that needed first to be believed, then seen.
These last several years have been times of great joy and
accomplishment- We have established ourselves as 'up and
comers' in District and Section 6, developed and executed a
creative fund raising and financing plan for our new facility, and built
and opened a new arena. In addition, we have established gids
hockey, selected long-term high school hockey coaches with great
knowledge and intervention on the youth level, made leaping stddes
in perfecting our own internal processes, and created true
community involvement which is the envy of several other groups
and associations.
This past year in particular we had several teams that were very
successful in competing in our District, and who can forget the upset
come-from-behind victory that our high school had against the
number-one seed Wayzata. While many needed to see it first,
some believed first, knowing that it could be achieved.
1 have truly enjoyed being a part of serving this association for these
last several years. I am proud to say that I believe that in a small
way I helped make a difference. I am equally thrilled to turn the
reigns over to a very capable manager in Susie Blake. I have
always believed that our board members were the best in the
business and I am confident that Susie will carry on the torch and
will be without question, the right leader for the fight times.
While my duties to my career and to my family will now take on a
different focus, ! must admit that I will miss (some would say in a
'sick' sense) the activity of running a hockey association. You might
ask how I would miss the weeks I spent more time on hockey than
at work (which were many), the constant flood of phone calls, the
always-difficult parental complaints, and the countless hours at
meetings. How could I possible miss the days it seemed I was living
in the arena, the frustration and management difficulties of leading a
volunteer organization, the many hours spent recruiting and selling
the Chaska 'Concept", and the loss of time with loved ones. As
strange as it seems, and while it is hard to rationalize, the
undeniable truth is, though, that ! will
I will miss the activity, the exdtement, my fellow board members-all
who had a deep devotion to our vision, our association members,
and most important, the constant hope that the time devoted would
be the means to a better experience for ali concerned. This is a
sport that I love and no better a tool for developing and honing life-
charactefistics, not only for our youth, but also for us as adults as
well. Thank you for allowing me to serve and to acknowledge in my
own mind that sometimes you don't need to see it to believe it. That
with a strong vision and passion faith can go a long way even in a
hockey assodation.
