Waterfowl is
game despite
endrin threat
By Leslie Kendrick
The waterfowl season in
Nebraska will not close this
year even though endrin
contamination is possible in
some birds, the State Game
and Parks commission an
nounced Wednesday mor
ning. Endrin is a pesticide.
William Baxter, assistant
chief of the wildlife divi
sion, said the commission
had a meeting to inform the
public about the findings
and recommendations of
the commission.
Baxter said the water
fowl season will not be
closed, but the commission
recommends that hunters
follow the guidelines of the
State Health Department.
The health department
has recommended that hun
ters skin the birds and re
move any excess fat, Baxter
said. The fowl should be
cooked on a rack and the
juices discarded, he said. In
addition, the health depart
ment recommends that all
internal organs be discarded.
The only people who
should not eat the water
fowl are women who are
pregnant or breast feeding,
Baxter said.
Baxter said there was a
very minimal risk involved,
in consuming waterfowl
killed in Nebraska. There
will be a few waterfowl in
Nebraska from Montana,
where endrin contamination
from spraying is the most
severe, he said. However,
the waterfowl population
also contatins many birds
from the Dakota's and Can
ada that are not contamina
ted with endrin, Baxter said. .
The commission would
like to remind the public
that the maximum penalty
for shooting waterfowl and '
letting them lay is up to
$500 and 30 days in jail,
Baxter said.
Baxter said if hunters
don't want to consume the
fowl because of a concern
of endrin contamination,
they should not hunt.

OPEN HARVEST'S SIXTH ANNUAL
i i
When the guys at Miller asked me to
write an ad on writing, I said, "Forget it.
Not even if you held a gun to my head!' So
they held a bottle of Lite Beer to my mouth.
They're a pretty persuasive group.
TKUGST0MUGS
If you're going to write anything, know
what you're talking about. And that means
three things: Research, research, and
more research. The more you know, the
more you can tell your reader.
Take my characters. A lot of them I
base on actual people. There's this buddy
of mine who pops up in every book I write.
In one story he's a cop. In another, a pri
vate eye. Once, I made him a millionaire.
Using him not only helped make character
development a heck of a lot easier, he was
so carried away by the rich image, he
bought me a lot of free dinners (and a lot of
Lite Beer from Miller). So use the people
you know as models.
Even locations should be based on
real things. If you're writing about a bar,
know that bar. Hang out there. Watch the
bartender. The customers. Whatever
they drink, you drink. When they drink
Lite Beer, you drink Lite Beer. Re-member-research
is most fun when
you soak up as much subject matter as
you can. It can only help you paint a
better picture.
Ill, DOLL
No caper is complete without dames
(or ladies in proper English). Experience
has shown me that in mystery writing, the
sexier the dames, the better. Experience
has also shown me that sexy scenes make
great punctuation marks. This is where
research has the greatest potential. Use
your own discretion in this matter. But
when you write about it, don't be too
explicit. That way, your reader gets to paint
a more vivid picture.
CAPER TO PAPER
O.K., you've got your characters, loca
tions, and dames lined up. Now comes the
good part: Putting your caper to paper.
There's no mystery to it. As long as you
write the ending first, the rest will follow.
Write short, terse, to-the-point sentences.
Be as clear as possible. And make sure
you've got the right stuff around for when
you get thristy. After all, writing is pretty
thirsty work.
I suggest a couple of mugs of Lite
Beer- who ever heard of a caper that
didn't involve a couple of mugs?
Why Lite Beer? It's a lot like me and my
books-great taste, less filling (some
people can't get their fill of my books), and
always good to spend time with.
At any rate, follow my advice and, who
knows-you might turn out a heck of a
story. Or you might turn out to be a heck of
a Lite Beer drinker.
