The 2010 Hunt for a Cure was a great success with over 90 shooters on 7 teams at the Beretta Signature Cheyenne Ridge Lodge in Pierre, South Dakota! Live Water Properties was a presenting sponsor along with Cheyenne Ridge Lodge and many other fine organizations. We enjoyed two days of spectacular pheasant hunting and sporting clays shooting over the weekend with former major league slugger, Ryan Klesko.

In the late 1970s and early 80s a wave of land trusts began to form and ripple across America. By 2008 there were more than 1,700 of these organizations, and collectively they had preserved nearly 37,000,000 acres of important habitat, open spaces, greenways, corridors and parks. Much of the birth, growth and success of such non-profit organizations derives from public recognition that Government – be it Federal, State or Local – simply cannot be expected to conserve all the important landscapes our citizens have come to cherish. Because it remains the case, even in these times of widespread economic recession, that the pace of sprawl and development far outstrips the pace of land and water conservation, the role of land trusts is as compelling as ever. Ironically, while broad and deep downturns in real estate values have presented some great opportunities for land trusts to acquire key lands or purchase development rights, or be granted conservation easements, sources of funding (public and private) have also sharply downturned. » More: Why We Like Land Trusts

As we look ahead to 2011, the federal government will allow the capital gains tax rate for individuals in the 28% Ordinary Income Tax Class or above, to increase from 15% to 20%, a 33.3% increase over 2010. Historically, rises in the capital gains tax rate have tended to slow economic growth and reinvestment. This condition is known as the “lock-in effect” where investors avoid taxation by holding appreciated assets. » More: The Capital Gain Tax Rate Change for 2011 Will Present Challenges for Sellers
Bob Kiesling of Live Water Properties fished on the Restigouche River which forms the boundary between New Brunswick and Quebec during the last week of June. With a drier and warmer spring, the number of Atlantic salmon making anadromous migratory runs was less than usual, but Bob enjoyed the thrilling moments of catching this adult Atlantic salmon which took about 20 minutes from hook to net.
