Jeff LeClere has been interested in herps since he was five years old. He has been a member of MHS for four years. Many people who are herp enthusiasts got their start as kids. We all know that kids are very open minded about most things. Fear and disdain of herps and other H creepy, crawly" things are often a behavior learned from adults. Sadly, some kids never learn that their parents opinions of herps are biased and these kids don't get a chance to learn about an of the fascinating creatures in the world. Some kids ignore their parents objections and become interested in herps anyway. Jeff LeClere will talk about why he thinks herps make good pets for kids and will give some hints about how kids can talk their.parents into allowing them to keep herps.He will also describe his herp set-up. This should be an interesting program for kids and for adults. Kids, be sure to bring your parents along.
CRIITER OF THE MONTH: Neonates Bring your babies of the year, whether you were successful in breeding them yourself or obtained them from some other breeder. If you bred them yourself, be prepared to briefly describe how you achieved your success.

OCTOBER PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS
The October meeting was held jointly with the Midwest Herp Conference and included two speakers. The frrst was MHS President, John Moriarty, who spoke on the history of herpetology in Minnesota and the Minnesota Herp Society. This talk, illustrated with slides, began with iust records of serpents by Father Hennepin in the 1690's and ran through present research. The ten years of MRS was interesting and John had slides of various MRS activities.
The featured speaker was Joseph Collins, co-author of the soon-to-be published third edition of the Peterson Field Guide to Amphibians and Reptiles of Eastern and Central North America. This talk included some humorous anecdotes on things that happen when one is writing a field guide. Joe told the group about the importance of having specimens in a reputable collection for verification of records.
The group then adjourned to a social hour (or two) with food and beverages.

THE SIXTH MIDWEST HERP CONFERENCE - A BIASED REVIEW
The Sixth Midwest Herp Conference was held October 12 - 14 at the Bell Museum of Natural History in Minneapolis, MN. The Minnesota Herpetological Society was hosting the conference for the second time. MHS began the Midwest Conference in 1985. This year's conference was considerably larger with 184 registrants.
The conference was a huge success with very few complaints. The list of speakers was well planned with a diversity of topics. The talks were all well presented and managed to stay fairly close to the schedule.
The exhibitors had a good diversity of products and animals. From the number of persons walking around with plastic containers and books it seems that many of the attendees agreed. There were some mumblings about the size of the exhibitor's room, but I was told that that's the way Wayne Hill had the Reptile Breeder's Expo set up and we didn't fool with,a successful technique. A small room also allows for the development of close friendships.
The Friday night social went well. There was plenty of food and drink. Attendees seemed to enjoy touring through the Museum and Touch and See room. The record corn snake was a big hit. The only complaint I had was, that after being reminded that we needed plenty of beer because this was a real party group, only one keg was consumed. We had to return a full keg on Monday.
The banquet was held a the Radisson University Hotel. The food was good and plentiful, though there were times when the staff had difficulty keeping up with the consumption rate. The auction provided a number of very good items. The only complaint I had was that too many people out bid me on books and art. I do have one real complaint in that several auction items did not make it to the hotel because out of 184 attendees there was one s1imeball who felt he/she could just take things from the Bell Museum. There seems to be one person at every event to act as a spoiler. Someday we'll get ya.
The hospitality room after the auction became a problem. The hotel did a poor job of assigning guest rooms adjacent to the hospitality room. There were several complaints about noise so we arranged to move back downstairs. This actually worked out pretty good because there was more room for sitting around and talking. I appreciate that most of the attendees gladly shifted rooms or at least didn't grumble too much. For those who mouthed off and didn't help with the situation, let me know when you are in charge of a similar event I will gladly return the favor.
Sunday morning's activities were a little confused. The turtle tours went well. The Zoo tour was delayed but did get underway okay. The snake tour got messed up. For the persons who were waiting,we apologize.
All and all I feel that the Minnesota Herp Society did an outstanding job. The quality of the Midwest Herp Conference is steadily increasing each year. I look fOlWard to the meetings in Indianapolis next year.

SIXTH MIDWEST HERP CONFERENCE - THANKS
I would like to thank all the persons attending the Sixth Midwest Herp Conference for helping to make it a success. I would especially like to thank the committee members, some who have put in many hours of planning over the last year. They include: Fred Bosvay, Marilyn Brooks, Scott Cords, Joan Galli, Dan Keyler, Greg Kvanbek, Cliff Lindberg, Ann POlWoll, and Mary Ann Waldorf. There were a number of MHS members and other conference attendees who assisted in many ways to make sure everything ran smoothly. The entire committee would like to thank Chris Anton, Gary Ash, Ellin Beltz, Sally Brewer, Dennis Daly, Carol Dorff, Nancy Haig, Bruce Haig, Becky Helgeson, Vence Jimerson, Mark Kelly, John Meltzer, Bill Moss, Kate Slavens, Terry Scheiber, Soren Sorenson, Jo Anne Wetherell and anyone else I may have forgotten.
The speakers all presented very infonn3tive programs and I would like to thank them all again for sharing their knowledge. They include: Bart Bruno, Gary Casper, Jolm Coakley, Joe Collins, Nonn Haskell, Ron Humbert, Dan Keyler, Barney Oldfield, and Ernie Wagner.
I would like to thank all persons and groups who donated items to the auction. We were fortunate to have Joe Collins at the microphone getting attendees to be generous with their money.
Lastly, I would like to thank Jo Anne for putting up with me over the last few months.

SIDNEY'S SONG by Ellin Beltz
Sidney was perhaps the most individualistic snake I have ever owned. He had personality. Va, ya, you say - every bunny hugger claims that their animal has personality. Dh, well- pennit me a tiny touch of anthropomorphism ... One night, while driving late and long, my daughter Eloise became bored. So, in an effort to distract her, I started humming "Greens1eeves" - which she had been beating to death on our piano for weeks. Combined with Dr. Conant's book title, 'What Snake is This?, the song rapidly took fonn. By the time we got home and sang it into our answering machine tape (being the only tape recorder in the house) to transcribe the words, the song was complete. Someday I may try for another verse or two.

AUCTION RESULTS
As chairperson of the Auction Committee for the 1990 Midwest Herp Conference I would like to thank all of those people who donated items and/or helped to make the auction a success. Rather than thank individuals for their efforts and risk missing someone, I just want to say that the credit for this event goes to all those generous people who donated their time, talents, items, and money for the sale. We took in about $2,200, which helped to make the conference a fmancial success for MHS.
Being my first time to try and run something like this, I did miss one important point. I did not identify to our auctioneer, Joe Collins, who donated the items. Because of that he was unable to give proper credit during the auction to those responsible. I do apologize for that slip-up on my part. Over the next few weeks those people making larger contributions will get receipts for their items, detailing the amount paid. Anyone who does not get a receipt, but wants one, can request one through MHS.

GET OUT THE VOTE
With all of the garbage going on with the Governor's race who would not blame anyone for not voting. MRS is not a vehicle for partisan politics, but there is one item that people have to vote YES on in this years election. The Environmental Trust Fund was created by a consti1ntional amendment in the last election. The fund currently gets its money from 400/0 of the lottery proceeds. The legisla1nre originally said it would put in 500/0 of the proceeds for 10 years, but changed their mind the frrst year. This is why you need to vote yes on the Constitutional amendment that will force the state legislature to put 400/0 of the lottery proceeds into the trust fund for the next 10 years. Not voting for the amendment is counted as a no, so please vote for the Trust Fund and the heck with the Governor's race.
