Minutes October 11, 2011

Open meeting 7:00pm Members present - 8 with one officer Recognize guest - no guest Minutes from September - Minutes read with a motion by Dana Casey and seconded by Larry Livingstone to accept the minutes as read. September minutes approved. Treasurer Report - Saving and checking accounts were reviewed and approved. Old business - Larry Raymond will be able to have signs made for under $100 each. We were able to get an example made in time to display at Moringsport Fall fest. There are some changes the Wild Life and Fisheries will make before the final signs are made. Interagency Salvinia Control Meeting - There were presentations on biological, herbicidal, and a very interesting study on pharmaceudical uses for Salvinia. A compound isolated in Salvinia was found to attack tumor cells while doing little or no damage to normal cells. The biological controls are mainly weevils. It was found weevils will reproduce when water temperature rise above 66 degrees. The herbicides are using a two prong attack by mixing a topical chemical with one that mixes with water to attack from the roots up. The next meeting will be in January. National Wild Life Foundation Grant - CLI is putting together a proposal for a $250,000 grant to help fight giant salvinia. New business - Christmas on Caddo We will have a booth and will have all of the great stuff we had last year. It will be at Earl Willison Park on Saturday December 3, 2011. Low levels on the lake were disscussed along with some solutions. Anew dam with control gates has been disscussed by the Army Corp of Engineers, but no new news on that at this time. Meeting adjourned - 8:00pm
