2012, with his sons by his side.
Military graveside services
were held at 2 p.'m Monday. Oct.
15, at the North Dakota Veterans
Cemetery, Mandan.
Earnie could not have imagined
as a 23-year-old leaving Beach to
join the army in 1941 that he was
actually taking the first steps of a
career largely in service of his
country and the men and women in
uniform who defend it. Before
shipping out for Officer training, he
married his sweetheart, from Turtle
Lake and Bismarck, Anne Thurn.
Just before he left for Europe dur-
ing WWII, Anne gave birth to their
first son, Nick.
Earnie returned from the war as
a, captain and promptly joined the
American Legion Post in Beach as
well as the Army Reserves, where
ove'r the years he worked his way
to hi,her ranks. Over the next 12
3ears in Beach. Earnie and Anne
had a second son. Dave. while
Earme owned and operated two
service stations as well as a tire
and radiator repair shop. In 1957,
he ran successfully, for State
American Legion commander, a
posinon that allowed him to
become familiar with Legion posts
and Legmuaires all arou0d the
state. That experience led to a
position in the state headquarters
in Fargo. He was asked to manage
former Gov. John Davis's ultilnate-
ly successful campmgn for
National American Legion corn-
But Earnie wanted to live and
work in North Dakota, so in 1967
he returned, rejoined the active
army and accepted responsibility
for the N.D. Selective Service.
eventually working his way to the
rank ofc~lonel. ,
Earnie's exceptional familiarity
with the towns and people of North
Dakota from his past positions
prompted Congressman Mark
Andrews to ask him to manage his
office in Bismarck and to be his
North Dakota field representative.
which he did witfi aplomb. He had
a special interest in people and an
exceptional skill for remembering
their names and personal details,
which was very helpful to the con-
gressman's work in the state.
In 1982 Earnie and Anne. who
was apnmary school teacher, both
retired and began spending winters
in Mesa and summers in Bismarck.

Fishe biolo9i compl annual fall survey
The North Dakota Game and
Fish Department's annual fall sur-
vey shows low nurnbiers of young-
of-the-year fish in the Missouri
River System, while Devils Lake
once again showed exceptional~
numbers of young-of-the-year wall-
eye.
Scott Gaugl, fisheries manage-
ment section leader, said the catch at
Lake Sakakawea was poor for most
species including walleye, especial-
ly considering 4 million were
r stocked this year. "'We actually cap-
tured some 1-year-old fish that were
only slightly bigger than this year's
young-of-the-year." Gangl said.
"'The reservoir wasn't very produc-
tive this year given its rapid rate of
elevation loss."
However, Gangl said production
of forage fish in Lake Sakakawea
has been fairly good over the last
few years. "Our size structure and
growth rate of our older game fish
improved fi'om a decade ago when
there was a prolonged period of
drought years." he said.
The Missouri River from
Garrison Dam to Lake Oahe showed
few young game fish or forage fish.
"'Fish populations in this stretch of
the river are all based on natural
reproduction, which was good m
2009-10.'" Gangl said. "We have an
abundance of adult walleye and
pike. but they are on the smaller
side because they are only 2-3 years
old. In addition, we lost a lot of lk~r-
age in 2011. and poor reproduction
again in 2012 continues to depress
the forage base. leaving our game
fish on the skinny side and growing
slower than we would like."
This past spring Game and Fish
personnel, along with South Dakota
Game, Fish and Parks, stocked adult
gizzard shad at eight sites through-
out Lake Oahe. Gangl said the
intent was for adult shad to repro-
duce and provide young-of-the-year
for forage and a .seed stock to

rebuild the population. "'We did
detect some reproduction, but it will
not be an overnight success," he
added. "We need a few more mild
winters like last year before we see
a rebuilding of the shad forage base
like we had in the early 2000s."
The rapid loss of water that was
witnessed this year in lakes
Sakakawea and Oahe is alarming,
Gangl said, but decreased system
flows this fall will provide some
recovery assistance.
Devils Lake showed the second
highest young-of-the-year walleye
catch rate on record, second only to
2009. "Devils Lake continues to be
a walleye factory," Gangl said. "The
high water levels on Devils Lake
have improved natural reproduction
for most fish species, and there is an
abundance of young fish in the sys-
tem ?"
A total of 367.000 walleye were
stocked in East Bay and East Devils
Lake where natural reproduction
tends to be less. However. Gangl
said abundant young walleye were
seen throughout the lake.
Fall reproduction sampling pro-
vides biologists with an index that
measures natural reproduction and
stocking success. Survey nets are
designed for small, young fish
which allows biologists to assess
reproduction and status of both
game and forage fish species. All
large and mid-sized reservoirs are
sampled every year, and many small
lakes are targeted as well.
