The poem created a legend, a mystique, that eventually led to the restoration of Revere's home, the Old North Church, and a whole tourism and visitor industry in Boston." Recounting early stories of frontier visitors to the Big Stone Lake area, Moore noted that the Bonanza area has similar potential. "How did Bonanza get its name? Who lived here? What's the story behind this place?" he asked the group. "These are things I want to know!" History, according to Moore, is an important part of building an area's identity. In another anecdote Moore shared with the crowd, he related how Benjamin Franklin and friends., a group many call "America's founding fathers"•, began by meeting in a tav- ern in Philadelphia. "Just a bunch of guys getting together in a bar and talk- ing." said Moore. After a short pause, he concluded: "It just goes to show you how a small group of people can do big things."

As coordinator Matyi Sundheim and the B-E-C board continue to work on funding options for the coming year, memberships will play a very impor- tant part in the center's future.

"Changes proposed are meant to conform to the federal framework, which will be submitted to the states in early August," said state Waterfowl Biologist Spencer Vaa of Brookings. Recommended changes for the state's duck seasons from last year include: • Change the starting date tbr the Low Plains north zone from the third Saturday in Sept. to the fourth Saturday in Septemblr. • Change the starting date for the Low Plains middle zone from the Saturday closest to Oct. 1 to the fourth Saturday in September. • Change the starting date for the High Plains season from the Saturday closest to Oct. 1 to the fourth Saturday in September. • Change the season length for pin- tails in each zone from 39 days to the same season length as other species (except canvasbacks). • Change bag limit for scaup from 3 to2. Essentially, most duck seasons would open on Saturday, Sept. 27 this year and continue through Dec. 9. Exceptions would include the Low Plains south zone, which would open Oct. ! 1 and continue through Dec. 23, and the High Plains season that would end on Jan. 1. "That is the earliest possible dates for season openings and will provide the maximum opportunity possible for duck hunting," Vaa said. Vaa also noted that there were no recommended changes for the state's 2003 goose seasons from last year. "However," he said, "goose hunting is under the same rule chapter as duck hunting, so the goose season is still open for modification during finaliza- tion if there are changes that are given with the federal framework•" Individuals can submit comment by attending the public hearing at 2 p.m., Thursday, Aug. 7, at the Brookings Inn in Brookings.
