Bad Medicine Lake is a spring-fed lake located in Forest Township in Becker County, Minnesota. It got its name from the fact that early Native Americans in the area thought that a lake with neither inlet nor outlet was a place of bad omen ("bad medicine") and would not hunt or fish near the lake.
The lake is approximately five miles long, a half mile wide, and reaches depths of up to 90 feet (27m). It is known for its clear, cold waters and rainbow trout fishing. It has experienced dramatic changes in its fish habitat and fish community in the last 35 years. Regarded as a bass/panfish lake in the 1950s and 1960s, the lake is now managed primarily for rainbow trout and walleye. The DNR turned Bad Medicine Lake into a trout lake in 1977, following an explosion of native crayfish that eliminated the vegetation used by bass and panfish. Roughly 16,000 rainbow trout are stocked annually, including Kamloops and Madison strains.
There are three active resorts located on the lake. Bad Medicine Resort and Campground is owned by Don Tschudi. Veronen's Resort is a family owned and operated campground established in the late 1940s by Bill and Gertie Veronen. The second resort is High Pines Resort owned by Ray and Lynette Vlasak.
Medicine Lake is located within Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada. It is located approximately 20km (12mi) southeast of the townsite of Jasper, Alberta. Medicine Lake is approximately 7km (4.3mi) long and is a relatively shallow lake. The lake is part of the Maligne Valley watershed which is mainly glacial fed.
Geology
Medicine Lake is a geologic anomaly in the sense that it is not actually a lake but rather an area in which the Maligne River (flowing from Maligne Lake into the Athabasca River) backs up and suddenly disappears underground. During the summer months during intensified meltwater runoff the lake (which during the winter months is a meandering frozen river) fills to levels which fluctuate over time and with the runoff events. Much like a bathtub that is filled too fast for it to drain, it becomes laden with water (lake) until it can slowly drain as the tap flow (runoff) is reduced (river). The underground system is extensive and during the 1970s researchers used a biodegradable dye to determine the underground river's extent. The dye showed up in many of the lakes and rivers in the area to the point where it became clear that the underground system was one of the most extensive in the world.
Medicine Lake Volcano is a large shield volcano in northeastern California about 30 miles (50km) northeast of Mount Shasta. The volcano is located in a zone of east-west crustal extension east of the main axis of the Cascade Volcanic Arc and the Cascade Range. The 0.6-mile (1km) thick shield is 22 miles (35km) from east to west and 28 to 31 miles (45 to 50km) from north to south, and covers more than 770 square miles (2,000km2). The underlying rock has downwarped by 0.3 miles (0.5km) under the center of the volcano. The volcano is primarily composed of basalt and basaltic andesite lava flows, and has a 4.3-by-7.5-mile (7 by 12km)caldera at the center.
The Medicine Lake shield rises about 3,900 feet (1,200m) above the Modoc Plateau to an elevation of 7,795 feet (2,376m). Lavas from Medicine Lake Volcano are estimated to be at least 140 cubic miles (600km3) in volume, making Medicine Lake the largest volcano by volume in the Cascade Range (Newberry Volcano in Oregon has the second largest volume). Lava Beds National Monument lies on the northeast flank of the volcano.
The fifth season of Homicide: Life on the Street aired in the United States on the NBC television network from 20 September 1996 to 16 May 1997 and contained 22 episodes. A new opening sequence debuted with the start of this season, including elements of a police investigation (murder weapon, dusting for fingerprints, etc.) and a growing chatter of radio transmissions behind the theme music. In addition, pictures of the actors were displayed alongside their names for the first time. The sequence ends with the ringing of the squadroom phone and a voice answering, "Homicide."
Two new characters appeared during this season: Chief Medical Examiner Julianna Cox (portrayed by Michelle Forbes); and Detective Terri Stivers (portrayed by Toni Lewis), a Narcotics officer who works with Homicide to bring down local drug kingpin Luther Mahoney.
The season finale introduced Detective Paul Falsone (portrayed by Jon Seda), a member of the Auto Squad briefly on loan to Homicide, and re-introduced Stuart Gharty (portrayed by Peter Gerety), now a detective assigned to Internal Investigations. It also marked the departures of regular characters Megan Russert (Isabella Hofmann), Kay Howard (Melissa Leo) and J.H. Brodie (Max Perlich).
The eighth season of Degrassi: The Next Generation premiered in Canada on 5 October 2008, concluded on 30 August 2009, and consists of twenty-two episodes (18 episodes, and 1 movie). Degrassi: The Next Generation is a Canadian serial teen drama television series. Although only one school year passed in the story timeline since season six, season eight is set in the first semester of the year in which it aired. Writers have been able to use a semi-floating timeline, so that the issues depicted are modern for their viewers. This season depicts the lives of a group of high school freshman, juniors, seniors, and college freshman as they deal with some of the challenges and issues young adults face such as careers, sex, sexism, sexual identity, financial difficulties, drug use, mental disorders, cyberbullying, child molestation, stress, hostage situations, racism, and relationships. Thirteen actors are added to the ensemble cast, while fourteen cast members have either left the series or been dropped from the main cast to recurring roles. The season focuses heavily on the new generation of students at Degrassi Community School, although it included storylines about those who have graduated and gone on to university.
