RESIDENTS of Waterview Heights, west of Grafton, are being called on this spring to keep a lookout for Shane, a koala who is back on his home turf after a confrontation with a german shepherd in October last year.

WIRES is urging anyone who might see a very large koala with an orange tag in his left ear and a defining hind-leg limp to call the WIRES hotline, 66434055, with the date, time and location of the sighting.

Shane first came into the care of Clarence Valley WIRES on October 6 last year after tangling with the dog on Wattle Drive.

Named after the owner who promptly called WIRES then helped to get him out of his garden shrub, the koala was found to be a big 8kg, six-year-old boy with a few bite marks on his rump and a broken left hind foot from in the attack.

He was also found to have a previously broken tibia (shinbone), but otherwise was in the best of health.

Once safely in a carry basket, the incredible network that would save Shane's life raced into action.

He was rushed to the Clarence Valley vet clinic for a first crucial dose of antibiotics against infection, and by afternoon was at the Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary under care at the wonderful wildlife hospital that is second-to-none anywhere in the world.

By morning he was in the hands of the dedicated vets at the Irwins' Australian Wildlife Hospital, where his badly crushed toe was amputated and he was to spend the next seven months undergoing prolonged monitoring and treatment for a wound that stubbornly refused to heal.

As a large dominant male Shane could only be returned to his original home territory, and as close as possible to his pick-up site.

After a further many hours in a cramped basket returning to Grafton, a travel-weary and grumpy Shane was finally freed at dusk on May 23 into a favourite forest red gum tree on Mulligan Drive, some 400m from where he was found.

The Wright County Board of Supervisors agreed Monday to take charge of a shared drainage project in Drainage District 111, which lies along the Franklin County line six miles southeast of Belmond (or one mile west of Alexander).

The supervisors made a conference call to their counterparts in Franklin County because the work, which involves Lateral 5, is totally in Wright County, according to Wright County Drainage Clerk Deb Loux.

The main work being planned is enlarging and extending the tile in Wright County. Once completed, there will be a reclassification so Lateral 5 will no longer be considered a joint district with Franklin County.

Lukes said Franklin County landowners will not have to help pay for the project in any way. Instead, affected property owners in Wright County will be assessed for it.

In other news, the supervisors received two quotes for re-roofing the courthouse. Neither quote was accepted, since the board is waiting for a few more bids and wants to consult with the countys insurance company. This matter will be discussed again next week.

CLEAR LAKE | Iowa Department of Natural Resources officials met with eight area residents on Tuesday to discuss Iowa water-quality regulations.

The event at the Clear Lake Lakeview Room was part of the three-year review cycle for standards imposed under the federal Clean Water Act.

Were here to listen to the public, what concerns they have, what changes theyd like to see and what impacts they might anticipate coming from those changes, said Roger Bruner, supervisor of the DNR water-quality monitoring and assessment section.

DNR Water Quality Standards Coordinator Rochelle Weiss outlined the types of regulations and water bodies covered under this review.

She noted the focus was measurable pollutant discharges from individual facilities with specific points of entry into a river or stream, known as point-source discharges.

Facilities producing such discharges, she said, must obtain National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits stipulating the type and amount.

Increases are normally permitted only if determined to be in keeping with public safety and water-quality goals and after establishing there is no reasonable alternative.

Accepted levels vary by substance and by water body, with bodies classified based on such variables as size, flow characteristics, water temperature, aquatic life supported and types of human recreational usage.

Specific changes being contemplated are primarily technical, Bruner noted, involving adjustments to methods for allocating waste loads and to techniques used in monitoring levels of metals and other chemicals.

During public comments, some participants voiced questions and concerns regarding other water-quality issues.
