St. John’s abbey sets archery-only deer hunt

Archery deer hunters are invited to apply for permission to hunt deer on St. John’s Abbey property in Stearns County. This year, the abbey is using an archery-only hunt beginning Oct. 18 and ending Dec. 31. The goal is to assure a population level that will allow both adequate regeneration of the forest and a healthy deer herd in the Abbey Arboretum’s 2,500+ acres. In 2013, 108 bow hunters took 51 deer at St. John’s.

Applications to hunt at St. John’s must be received no later than 4 p.m. Monday, Aug. 11. For more information or to apply, visit the deer hunt website or call St. John’s Outdoor University office at 320-363-3163. A non-refundable $5 application fee is required with the completed application. For those selected by lottery there is an additional $30 fee to hunt at St. John’s. Hunters under 18 are allowed only with an adult supervisor.

To be eligible for the hunt, hunters must hold a valid Minnesota DNR archery deer license and be willing to take an antlerless deer. About 100 archery hunters will be selected. Hunters will choose where to put their stands based on the lottery and hunters will be spread across the property.

St. Cloud Hospital offers family, friends support group for eating disordersThe St. Cloud Hospital Behavioral Health Clinic is offering a Family and Friends Support Group for Eating Disorders from 4:30-6 p.m. the first Thursday of the month at CentraCare Health Plaza in the Leonard, Street and Deinard room. Upcoming meetings are Aug. 7, Sept. 4 and Oct. 2. Groups are led by a licensed psychologist or registered dietitian and provide support to friends and family through education and sharing with others who also have a loved one with an eating disorder. Each month a different topic will be explored. Attendees will take away tips for making mealtimes less stressful, how to respond to food and body image struggles and what to say or not to say. In the United States, nearly 30 million women and men of all ages, race and backgrounds suffer from a clinically significant eating disorder, such as anorexia or bulimia, at some point in their lives. An eating disorder affects the entire family. This group is intended for family members and friends of a person with an eating disorder and is NOT appropriate for people who currently struggle with an eating disorder. There is no cost to attend. For details, call 320-229-4918 and ask for Bette Bakke, Lauren Forest or Barbara Carver.
