A group of men begin their stretches. Hands on hips, side to side. Bending knees up and down, next their arms extend out and back in again. These calisthenics would lead one to believe that the group is preparing for flag football, or possible fast pitch softball.

Next the breathing exercises begin, followed by sounds projecting from their massaged jaws that prove these guys are no amateurs when it comes to pitch notation, physics of sound, whole step and half step intervals, sharps, flats and scales. The gang is not warmed up to play any type of ball; they are now prepared to sing as part of the Indianhead Chorus. This group contains a variety of gentlemen, but truly exists because of one man.

HARMONY: Chorus has evolved over five decades, show this weekend FROM PAGE ONE

participating in his church choir since he had been 12 years old. He also really enjoyed the barbershop show he attended and it wasn’t long before he organized a quartet. By 1958 ,the quartet had grown into a group of men who were officially chartered as the Indianhead Chapter.

The group performed their first annual Harvest of Harmony Show in October of 1959.

The cost of a ticket was $1.00.

In 1963 the group’s name changed to the Polk County Chapter. Nelson said, “We started meeting in Cushing with about 12 men and gradually increased our attendance and area so we pretty well covered Polk County.” It was time to expand, and soon their name became the Indianhead Chorus Polk-Burnett Chapter.

In 1960 Nelson led the group to participate in their very first competition in Janesville, WI. It was the 1970’s though,

that found them having real success at contest. They brought home the championship trophy several times.

The singing isn’t the only thing to be dazzled by during the shows. The uniforms have changed throughout the years, but have remained eye catching. In the early 1960’s their uniforms were orange felt Native American costumes.

Nelson shared that it wasn’t a big deal when one member forgot his socks during that era.

On the fly the entire group decided to perform barefoot and it worked perfect with that outfit. In 1965 they tried their first formal look with red tuxedos. The success in the 70’s was no doubt partially due to the sharp look of their white pants, white shoes, and purple ruffled tux shirts with a white bow tie. Today the men wear black tuxedos with blue vests and ties.

From within the Indianhead Chorus many quartets have developed including: The

Chieftains, Chubby Chums, Broiler Room 4, Royalaires, The Professors, Wee Willies, Farm-Mors, Injunaires, and Utilities. Currently there are three active quartets: Chariot, First Choice, Bright Knights, and the quartet known as the Men of the Dalles consisting of Nelson and fellow music lovers Jon Buss, Norm Osero, and Larry Jepsen.

Their annual show in October is their main event, but during the course of the year they participate in many activities. They sing carols as part of the December holiday stroll in Amery, they enjoy performing at community celebrations like Wannigan Days in St. Croix Falls, and Music in the Park in Osceola and Luck. The men sing at area churches throughout Polk County twice each year, usually singing at seven to nine churches on a Sunday morning. They have performed in Como Park along with eight other choruses’. Nelson said

he also enjoyed the days he sang at Hazeldon. “Music really has healing powers”, he said.

For the first handful of years Nelson was the director of the chorus. There were a few times that he took a year off just to enjoy singing with the chorus. Another main stay director was Steve Swenson who recently stepped down from the job after more than 25 years. Karl Wicklund is the current director and will be directing his first annual show this year.

Some of Nelson’s favorite memories are taking his annual vacation from the Cushing Post Office to go on trips to competitions. He absolutely cannot pick just one favorite song. There is no doubt that Nelson absolutely put his heart into every performance.

Some time ago he was quoted as saying, “We are a bunch of hams who enjoy performing and we hope you enjoy listening to us. If you like barber-

shop as much as we do, then we’re all having a ball.”

At almost 92 years of age, Nelson no longer performs with the group but actively comes to practices and shows.

He will be there enjoying the music when the chorus celebrates it’s 60th Annual Harvest of Harmony show. It will take place on October 6th with shows at 2P.M. and 7P.M. at the Amery High School Auditorium. The current Land O Lakes District Champion Quartet, Border Project, will be a special guest along with the 2009 International Champions, Crossroads Quartet.

After Glow to follow the last show at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Amery.

Tickets are available from any chorus member or at Chet Johnson Drug for $10 in advance. Tickets are $15 at the door. Students are free.

try.

The kids are a part of every aspect of the building process and recently met with Building Inspector Craig Moriak. He discussed building code with the group and pointed out the importance of working together. He explained everything that he will be looking at during the process and took the time to answer questions.

“An inspector does not have to know all of

the answers, but he does need to know where to find them,” Moriak said.

As the inspector stated dimensions he felt were necessary in certain areas of the project, Ganje would then point to the student he was bestowing the responsibility upon.

Moriak shared with the students, “To be an inspector it is a whole lot easier when you know what it is like to have had your boots dirty. That way you

know what the guys are going through out here working the trades.”

Moriak and Ganje both agree that there is a lack of workers in many of the construction trades. Ganje said, “The goal of the CTE Construction Academy is to promote an interest, and hopefully, a career in the trades.”

Moriak stressed that there are a lot of great job opportunities and a great deal of demand.

“I think this is a great learning experience.

There are days out here when it is going to be

tough, but you wouldn’t learn even half as much as you are, if you were only in the classroom,” Moriak said. With that he wished the students well and approved for trusses to be delivered.

With those well wishes the student builders will now move on to the next steps that will eventually include electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and finish work.

I hope I didn’t bury the lede

BY TOM STANGL FROM THE PUBLISHER’S DESK

The first week of October is traditionally designated as National Newspaper Week, a time for newspapers to celebrate the impact they have in their communities.

How important is a free and independent press?

The founding fathers must have thought it was pretty important. In the first amendment to the Constitution, freedom of the press was one of five freedoms expressly given to all Publisher Americans. Extra credit if you can name the other four.

Tom Stangl Give up? Freedom of religion, speech, the right of the people to assemble peaceably and to petition the government for grievances are the other four.

The first amendment has been in place for 227 years and is considered a hallmark of American liberty. It’s been around so long, many of us take it for granted that it will be here forever.

It’s about at this point in the column that I tell you that we can truly never take these rights for granted and that newspapers play a vital role as a watchdog to those in power. Yup, that’s still very true.

So, if this is all so important, why don’t people realize the importance of a healthy and vibrant media?

I think there are several answers to that question.

First and foremost, as an industry, we do a terrible job of self-promotion. I think this stems from believing that people reading our products already “get it,” meaning that by subscribing to or purchasing a newspaper that they accept this basic premise as fact. I think we sometimes believe using space like this to discuss the importance of a healthy free press can be perceived as being whiny or, worse yet, preaching to the choir.

I know that we value the special relationship we have with our readers and we do our best each week to bring you information that you were unaware of and will find interesting or important, so self-promotion may seem like a bit of a stretch.

I think that’s probably why the national week was devised. Having a set point in time each year to recall something important has a proven track record. Birthdays and anniversaries have worked out pretty well for most people.

So, here’s my pitch. Bear with me if you have heard this before, but it is worth repeating.

Newspapers have the largest amount of original reporting of any local media. Every issue is the equivalent word count of a novel. Stories are researched and fact checked. We sit at the meetings so you don’t have to. (We would like you to do so, but it’s your time. How you use it is your business.)

Many of these stories would probably never come to light without newspapers. Some improprieties might never come to light or would only come out after substantial damage is done.

Other people who have done good things might never receive the recognition they deserve.

It’s a job we take seriously and one we love.

We understand the value of your time and your trust. Every issue we do our best to earn both.

Want to celebrate newspapers? Get a subscription. Ensuring our survival is in everyone’s best interest.

As always, I welcome your comments. You can reach me by email at tstangl@theameryfreepress.com, telephone 715-268-8101 or write me at P.O. Box 424, Amery, WI, 54001.

Keep the dream alive

BY APRIL ZIEMER EDITOR@THEAMERYFREEPRESS.COM

It has been very nice to see all of the excitement and support Barron Wisconsin resident Chris Kroeze is receiving about his upcoming performance on NBC’s “The Voice.” Fans across the area are in hopes that his audition performance turns into a long run on season 15 of the singing competition program.

Last week my Editor husband Josh and our ten-year old April Ziemer daughter Reagan watched with me as the show premiered on Monday.

We were not sure which night Kroeze would be featured, so we would need to tune in nightly to catch him. I made a comment to Reagan that when I watched Kroeze sing, I would probably get the chills. She asked, “Why?” I responded that it was because I have actually met him a few times. Josh piped in and, with a huge grin on his face, said, “Do you think Chris Kroeze gets the chills when he reads the Amery Free Press?”

O.K. so maybe y it seems silly y that

at this point I am considering my time handing Kroeze his payment for performing at the Amery Fall Festival my brush with fame. I am excited though to see this small town guy grasp onto his dreams.

My dream many moons ago was to become a “Solid Gold Dancer.”

Some of you may remember the music television series that ran from 1980 to 1988. Dionne Warwick hosted it for a time before she found being a psychic to be more lucrative. Usually airing on Saturday evenings, “Solid Gold” was one of several shows that focused on the popular music of any given week; much like “Soul Train” or “American Bandstand.” Like other music shows, “Sold Gold” featured live performances by recording artists, but it stood out by including something the others did not: an in-house crew of professional dancers that performed routines choreographed to the week’s featured songs.

Anybody who really knows me understands that I have some pretty super fly dance moves and had I been parading around behind Andy Gibb, I would have surely stole the show. I was a shoo-in for the job. The outfits that the dancers wore tended to be a little on the py side. I would surely y lose skimpy

all of my baby fat by the time I was old enough to join the show and I would end up looking marvelous in one of those satin and sequined leotards.

Unfortunately, the show was cancelled before I was old enough to live out my dream. It turns out that Andy Gibb is gone, “Solid Gold” is gone, and the only thing that remains is my baby fat.

This is why I have so much admiration for someone like Chris Kroeze who is able to live out his dreams. I will cheer him on week after week.

As far as my husband making the comment about Kroeze getting the chills while reading the Free Press; I have decided that I am pretty sure that he does. His spouse is probably like mine refusing to turn on the heat yet.

There are probably quite a few people who are getting the chills when they read the paper this time of year.

I enjoy sharing my thoughts with you, and look forward to readers sharing their thoughts in return.

Making a difference for the good A few weeks ago, Luck High School seniors were told that one of their own alumni was contributing scholarships to any of the 2019 graduates who will be attending a technical college. Dennis Frandsen, a successful businessman with Luck roots, said Local he made this gift because Voices ‘it was the Vince Netherland right thing to do.’ As a Polk County result, any Econ. Dev. of the 34 prospective Luck graduates may receive up to two years of technical college education for free.

Most available scholarships that are awarded each year go to graduates who are the school’s top students and who plan on attending a 4-year col-

lege or university. There is no doubt that these students are deserving. But Mr. Frandsen’s gift is targeted to other deserving students who may hold the key to a local community’s future. Students seeking technical degrees learn the skills necessary to build, wire, and plumb our homes. They learn to provide health care to our elderly. They are also able to fix our computers, weld parts, and transport cargo. And many of these tech students receive their training and begin their careers here at home.

The future of business in Polk County depends to a large extent on our workforce. Polk County needs more workers who are trained and ready to perform much needed tasks in all types and sizes of businesses. In addition, students who further their education at tech schools and work locally also become advocates and leaders for their home towns. They believe in their community

and they work toward a better future for their kids, schools, and neighbors.

The contribution from Mr. Frandsen is the perfect gift that not only helps specific students, but it also establishes a path for young people to follow and succeed at home. Some young people are destined to leave and accomplish great things in other places. But some can be successful here in Polk County and make a difference for the good of many …. just like Mr. Frandsen.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Urges Christians to become active in elections To the editor: I want to address fellow Christians and urge their participation in the upcoming November election.

I was remembering a conversation with a Christian friend. I knew he believed in the practice of abortion. I couldn’t understand how he could reconcile that with being a Christian. I finally asked him. He couldn’t explain. He became angry and said, “I just know God loves abortion.” No further discussion was necessary for me.

The God I know is the same yesterday, today and forever.

He does not change. And life is precious to him. Nothing matters more.

Today, incredibly, there is

an abortion “industry”. Over fifty million accomplished and counting. Most aided by taxpayer dollars.

This concept has been brilliantly marketed, sold and commonly accepted as a health care benefit for women.

When elections occur, we all focus on issues deemed important in our own minds, for our own particular reasons.

Christians need to reason differently. Christian integrity involves living by one standard and for the approval of the judge. It is the height of arrogance for anyone to believe that what seems right is wiser than what God has revealed.

And all has been revealed to us in the Word. As Christians, we have an obligation to find

our what is revealed and to make choices in the light of it. This applies to the voting process as well.

We are in the world but not of the world. Romans 14:22 states: “Blessed is teh man who doesn’t condemn himself by what he approves.” We must examine the candidates to determine if their values coincide with God’s values. No other standard is applicable.

I leave you Isaiah 5:20, “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.”

Investigate, pray and vote accordingly.

Mike Crim St. Croix Falls, WI

Senate Judiciary Hearing on September 27, 2018 To the editor: Judge Kavanaugh’s demeanor and lack of candor during his testimony raises doubt on his ability to act impartially in many cases that would be brought to the Supreme Court. This hearing was held to discover information on an alleged sexual assault. The morning session was relatively professional. The afternoon

session became very undisciplined. Any improprieties regarding Democratic delay tactics asserted by Republican senators is a separate story and should be a stand-alone investigation. Any judgements toward Judge Kavanaugh or Dr. Ford related to the accusation of sexual assault cannot be honestly passed without further investigation.

Someone committed perjury.

I would like to know who. I would urge senators to vote no on Judge Kavanaugh’s nomination due to his lack of candor in both hearings and his contempt for the Thursday hearing and his out of control demeaner in the Thursday hearing.

Republican candidates in top state Senate races outraise opponents

BY WISPOLITICS.COM THE CAPITOL REPORT

All but one of the Republican candidates in top state Senate races had more cash on hand for the home stretch of campaigning than their Democratic opponents in the November elections.

And that was in the far northwestern state race where incumbent Democrat Janet Bewley had the advantage.

Here’s the rundown in the state Senate money race. Republicans hold an 18-15 edge over Democrats in the state Senate. » GOP challenger Andre Jacque outraised Democratic Sen. Caleb Frostman in their rematch for northeastern Wisconsin’s 1st Senate District.

Jacque, R-De Pere, reported $50,416 in receipts and $12,913 in expenses between July 31 and Aug. 31. He finished with $89,454 cash on hand. His receipts included $746 for postage from the Committee to Elect a Republican Senate.

Also, his spending included paying off a debt of $11,730 for TV ads from the June special election, which Frostman won with 51.4 percent of the vote.

Frostman, D-Sturgeon Bay, raised $36,492, spent $9,156 and had $81,802 in the bank. Just over half of what Frostman raised came from committees. That included $7,165 from the State Senate Democratic Committee to cover staffing costs. » Republican Rep. Dale Kooyenga, who’s running for the open 5th Senate District that includes Milwaukee’s western suburbs, raised $42,839, spent $18,763 and had $293,910 in the bank. He received a $7,844 in-kind donation from the state GOP. Democrat Julie Henszey, a corporate trainer and outdoor adventure guide, raised $32,463, spent $10,476 and had $65,383 in the bank. The SSDC made $6,939 in in-kind donations to her campaign for staff wages and polling. » Top Democratic target Sen. Howard Marklein, R-Spring Green, raised $38,206 in the reporting period, spent $19,497 and had $491,520 in the bank. He received in-kind donations of $10,775 from the Committee to Elect a Republican Senate for media-videos, renting a hall for a fundraiser and postage.

Democratic rival Kriss Marion, an organic farmer, raised $30,516, spent $20,160 and had $66,559 in the bank. The SSDC gave her $5,184 in in-kind donations. » Republican Sen. Roger Roth, of Appleton, raised $26,599, spent $3,040 and had $307,933 in the bank.

Challenger Lee Snodgrass, the Outagamie County Democratic Party chair, raised $27,023, spent $16,339 and had $45,586 in the bank. The SSDC gave her an in-kind donation of $1,818 for campaign staff wages, while Minority Leader Jennifer Shilling’s campaign gave her $2,000. » In the open 23rd Senate District, which includes the Chippewa Valley area, Republican Rep. Kathy Bernier, of Lake Hallie, raised $27,249, spent $15,684 and had $134,938 in the bank. CERS gave her an in-kind contribution of $10,000 for media-TV. Democrat Chris Kapsner, an ER physician, raised $16,241, spent $10,938 and had $44,036 in the bank. He received $5,542 in in-kind donations from the SSDC for staff salaries and other costs. » Democratic Sen. Janet Bewley, of Ashland, raised $46,782, spent $29,669 and had $93,109 in the bank. Her receipts included $26,471 in in-kind donations from the SSDC for staff, polling and other costs.

Republican James Bolen, a resort owner, raised $16,332, spent $26,785 and had $39,497 in the bank. His receipts included $10,317 in in-kind donations from CERS for TV and radio. » In the open 31st Senate District, which covers the Eau Claire area, Democrat Jeff Smith, a former state representative, raised $22,671, spent $11,921 and had $17,107 in the bank. He received $8,684 in contributions from committees last month after he won a three-way Democratic primary.

Farmer Mel Pittman, R-Plum City, raised $9,220, spent $10,722 and had $54,914 in the bank. He received no committee contributions during the period.

Study examines drinking behavior, age

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — When legal drinking starts at age 21, men are far more likely to drive drunk, get in fights or engage in risky sexual practices, according to a University of Wisconsin-Madison researcher.

Public Affairs and Sociology professor Jason Fletcher examined figures from Add Health, a long-term national study covering adolescent to adult health.

WUWM-FM reported. Fletcher’s findings were recently published in the Contemporary Economic Policy journal.

Fletcher said he didn’t find similar negative impacts among women. ``There is just nothing I can discern from the data of negative

impacts along the outcomes that I examine for women,’’ he said. ``The individuals in the data, when they turn 21, they do drink more, but the consequences that I examined, women don’t seem to have those consequences.’’

The findings show that policy should be directed toward men, such as reminding them of the dangers of driving drunk, Fletcher said. ``And, it might be a reasonable intervention to remind parents of individuals about to turn 21, that especially their sons, about these negative consequences,’’ he said. ``Maybe they could at least be part of these interventions, in terms of reducing these risky behaviors right around the

legal age of drinking.’’

Fletcher said he found that parents can’t deter all excessive drinking. Young adults living with their parents are more at risk to participate in alcohol-related risky behavior than young people living away from home, he said.

Fletcher said the study shows that Wisconsin’s drinking age shouldn’t be lowered. An idea surfaced in the Legislature last year to lower the state’s drinking age to 19. Fletcher said the study shows merit for increasing the age for men to 22 or 23, though he said that would likely not happen.

er sent this patient into Kenny Institute Tuesday evening for treatment. He suffered paralysis of a leg from the fever.

Magnus Thompson of the town of Turtle Lake at 7 o’clock Saturday night shot and fatally injured Miss Minnie Flanum while she was at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Hans Flanum, in Black Brook. Thompson fired two shots, both hitting the girl.

After shooting the girl he shot himself in the head, dying instantly.

The deed is attributed to jealousy and disappointment, as the young couple had had some disagreement and the following note was found in Thompson’s pocket.

“If Minnie and I cannot live together, we can die together, and I wish to be buried by her side.

An inquest was held by Amery officials who rendered a verdict of suicide. Miss Flanum was taken to a hospital in St. Paul.

About that animal lurking in the woods…Clyde Marquand of route two is reported to have seen the large cat roaming the woods.

On one occasion, he abbreviated his blackberry picking and piked out of the woods when it came sniffing around.

A week ago Saturday night, several dogs apparently picked up the critter’s trail and chased it most of the night to no avail. Sunday, he started after it with a shotgun and slugs when it was perched on a nearby knoll.

By the time he came within range, the cat had disappeared.

Yes, he sez it does look like a cougar and probably is.

100 Years Ago September 26, 1918 Amery Flag at Half Mast for Two Amery Soldiers Amery and community are in mourning today for two of her noble sons who have given their lives to their country and though they did not die on the battle front in France their sacrifice is just as great and in the galaxy of stars which shine for our boys who have made or will in the future Yesterday’s make the great sacrifice, the News stars which Diane Stangl shine for them will be as bright as the brightest. Both met death, one from accident and one from disease, in our national training camps.

Ronald Mahre, son of Mr. and Mrs. Aug. Mahre, died at Great Lakes Training Station, Ill., on Sept. 21, 1918 at 8:10 a.m. of Spanish influenza, after an illness of but a few days.

Mahre was 26 years old.

Private John Reubin Volgren of Co. K. For Casey, Pugit Sound, Washington was born in the Town of Lincoln, May 16, 1896 and lived there continuously ever since, until April 3rd of this year when he answered the call of his country and left Amery for Fort Casey where he had been in training until the 16th day of Sept. when he was accidently shot and killed instantly.

It seems he was going off guard duty and another was going on, and John was removing his belt and pistol to hand the other boy when in some way it was discharged killing him instantly.

All business places were closed for one hour at Amery in honor of the dead.

ies and petty thievery has been sweeping the city the past two weeks and it is well that the citizens are waking up to the fact that they should cooperate with the mayor, council and police department. The following places have been entered within the past ten days: O. H. Steindorff warehouse, taking clothing and household goods stored there by James Tobin.

The H. Sjobeck residence, occupied by R. H. McKinney, a small amount of money and clothing. The H. Keinstine residence, Dr. W. B. Cornwall office, broken into through rear door on Saturday and Sunday nights. Morphine was secured the first time and morphine and a revolver the second time.

Few houses are adequately protected with locks and our people have been very lax in reporting thefts, suspicious characters, etc., but are now thoroughly aroused. The police department has done all that was possible under the circumstances, and it is probable that with some changes in hours, separation of unofficial duties from the regular policing job and the possible adding to the personnel, a real clean up will be accomplished.

65 Years Ago September 10, 1953 Four Polio Cases in Area While many families were hoping that no polio would strike in this section of the county, last week found four individuals afflicted by the disease.

Most serious case during the past week was that of Sharalynne, 13, daughter of Mayor and Mrs. L. N. Christenson of Amery.

Suffering from bulbar type polio, which centers in the vital organs of the throat and chest, she was sent by Dr. H. A. Dasler to Kenny Institute last Wednesday evening by Stenberg ambulance. At this time her parents report that her fever had declined and she is improving. She suffers a paralyzed throat as effects from the disease.

Two children in the Emil Beckon family are recovering from comparatively mild cases of polio. Weir, 15, has partial paralysis of the left leg while Karen, 12, has no crippling effect. They were treated at home

by Dr. M. G. Marra.

The latest case to be reported was that of Peter, four, son of Mr. and Mrs. Larry Ruck, of Balsam Lake. Dr. V. C. Krems-

Authorities are tracing leads this week into the disappearance of $1,268.49 in cash and checks taken from the Burman Hardware and Ben Franklin Company safe Monday afternoon.

The theft was made between 1:30 and 2:50 p.m. when the deposit bags, ready for the trip to the bank, were taken from the safe in the rear of the store. In addition to the bags, a change pouch containing many smaller coins was lifted at the same time.

Sheriff Harold Maier was called to the scene and fingerprints were taken from the safe, which was unlocked at the time of the theft.

It is believed that the culprit or culprits entered the rear door of the store, walked to the safe, picked up the bag and again went out the back door.

This could be done without being observed from the front of the store.

Missing at the same time was a billfold belonging to Mrs. Betty Stumo of the Ben Franklin store. Mrs. Stumo reported that she had left the billfold on her desk in the rear of the store only to have it turn up missing.

It contained about $7 cash and valuable papers.

Owners, John and William Burman reported that in the loot taken from the safe was about $625 in cash and the rest in checks, stamped for deposit at Union State Bank.

40 Years Ago September 19, 1978 Arsonist Sets Fires Then Calls Authorities An arsonist upset with the lack of employment opportunities in Amery is believed responsible for at least four fires, possibly five, in the Lake Wapogasset area.

Friday morning, City Administrator Ralph Mickelson said he received a call from a man who criticized Amery for the lack of job opportunities.

As revenge, the man said he

set a boathouse on fire near the dam on Lake Wapogasset.

Deputies were called to investigate, but could find nothing.

Since that first call on Friday morning, two cottages, a home and a shed have been damaged by fire.

In each case the arsonist has called authorities to make sure they know he is responsible.

Friday afternoon about 3 p.m., a Lake Wapogasset resident saw a man run from the Ed Lindberg cottage, located on the Bible camp road. The man jumped into a car made a U-turn and drove to CTH C on a dirt access road.

As the car sped away, the witness noticed smoke billowing from the Lindberg cottage. By the time the firemen arrived the structure was engulfed in flames.

The arsonist called the Amery police to say he was responsible.

Saturday morning, deputies returned to the dam area on Lake Wapogasset and found a boathouse, which had been set on fire. However, the fire apparently went out by itself.

Sunday about 11:15 a.m., the Amery fire department was called to extinguish an old shed fire on property owned

by Al Amans located one mile south of Deronda on CTH P. On Sunday afternoon, the arsonist called Fire Chief Ben Jacobson taking responsibility for the shed fire and threatening to “strike” again on Monday.

“We theorize there were so many people at the lake on the weekend that the arsonist was unable to find a secluded structure,” said Luke. “The urge was so great that he burned the old shed to relieve his frustrations.”

At 9:05 a.m. on Monday, the arsonist, true to his word, called the Amery police department and told the city administrator “to have fun.”

Deputy Ken Madsen found the William Altman home on Sunrise Beach ablaze at 9:30 a.m. about 25 minutes after the call.

At the time of the fire, the sheriff’s department had six squad cars patrolling in the Lake Wapogasset area.

The Altman home was in the process of being sold to Ron Clay who is currently living three lots south of the Altman property.

As firemen were set to leave the scene, they found a fire smoldering on a mattress in a guesthouse on the Altman property.

Fire chief Ben Jacobson said the screen on the window had been cut, a window opened and something pushed into the room. A fuse-like device was sent to the state crime lab for analysis.

Luke said his department is suspicious of a fire, which occurred on Tuesday, Sept. 12, at the Wallace Rodke residence.

‘Paws on the Trail’ raises money for Arnell The Arnell Humane Society “Paws on the Trail” event on Saturday, September 29, brought together a talented group of canines and their caregivers.

The shelter hike fundraising event included a dog walk on Stower Seven

Lakes Trail and Fun Dog Contests. It was a chilly start to the day but participants were up for the challenge, raising much needed funding for animals in need of a helping hand.

CONTRIBUTED

This dog came in costume like a wizard.

Pet owners participated in several challenges including pet handling, costume contest and best kisser.

New CEO hired for Free Press parent company Carter and Gene Johnson, owners of the Amery Free Press, announce the hiring of Matt McMillan as the chief executive officer for their group of newspapers located in Minnesota and Wisconsin.

McMillan joins the company with McMillan 25 years of community newspaper experience and for the past four and a half years

served as the vice president of the Fargo Forum’s newspaper group. He and his wife, Tina, relocated from Fargo to the White Bear area.

Currently, Carter and Gene operate 18 community newspapers and have two newspaper printing plants.

McMillan’s background includes time with Skyway Publications, Minneapolis, Northstar Media in Cambridge, 17 years at the Leader in Hutchinson, Minn., two years with the Aitkin and Isle, Minn. newspapers, and

more recently with the Forum Communications Company.

Matt serves in many industry organizations and is currently on the board of directors of the Inland Press Association and the North Dakota Newspaper Association. His community involvements include the Hutchinson Downtown Association where he served as president from 2000-2007, and the Ridgewater College Foundation board where he served as a director.

He is also a past president of the Minnesota Newspaper

Association.

Tina has been active in the community newspaper business as well, working with newspapers in Boone, Iowa, Hutchinson, Minn., Aitkin and Isle, Minn., and most recently in Alexandria, Minn.

They have a daughter and grandson who reside in Farmington, Minn., and a son in Hutchinson, Minn.

Carter Johnson commented, “In expanding our newspaper holdings and seeking to be ‘the best source of community information,’ we needed a

qualified person like McMillan to bring experienced leadership in these areas. We are excited for Matt to join our leadership team.”

From Gene Johnson’s point of view, “It’s probably a good time to consider retirement.”

Wade Weber, who has been with the group for more than thirty years, will continue as a senior corporate advisor.

These weekly church messages are contributed by the following:

FIRST OF MONTH

A Life of Service A

“Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.”

—1 Peter 4:10 NIV

quote that is variously attributed to Saint Augustine, Mother Teresa, and Pope Francis, runs as follows: “Whoever does not live to serve does not deserve to live.” The quotation in Spanish is a bit less harsh: “Quien no vive para servir, no sirve para vivir,” which is to say that whoever does not live to serve is not fulfilling the purpose of life. When we live a life of service to others we fulfill the highest purpose in life. Perhaps Jesus said it best when he said that “whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant.” (Matthew 20:26 NIV) There are many ways that we can serve others, from just being kind and accommodating in our everyday interactions to choosing a career that relieves suffering or otherwise serves valid human interests. Mother Teresa was always humble in the way that she described her work among the poor, saying that “Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.”

The warm smile and friendly tone of voice when helping someone is often what constitutes serving someone well, as opposed to merely “processing” them. And remember, the life of service is its own reward. If you expect to be thanked or otherwise rewarded for your kind service you will often be disappointed.

Helping put food on the table

BY TAMMY BERG INTERFAITH CAREGIVERS PROGRAM ASSISTANT

“I know the food shelf has food for us but it’s tough to get around and get groceries and such when you don’t drive,” she tells us. “And I can’t lift those heavy bags. I need some help. Is there anyone you know that can help me?”

Becky lives in a town that doesn’t have a grocery store. She doesn’t drive. And she’s caring for her disabled son. She called Interfaith Caregivers to get to the food shelf.

A partnership between Interfaith Caregivers’ and United Way has made it possible to help Becky get the food she needs to feed herself and her son.

United Way St Croix Valley is fighting hunger in your community! In 2008, United Way opened the John Coughlin Food & Resource Center (JCFRC) in Hudson as a way to store more food and commodities for redistribution to local food pantries and shelters. JCFRC has distributed more than 1,100,000 pounds of food and other products at no cost. In June 2017 they launched a new initiative in Polk County where they now offer food to seven food pantries and one homeless shelter.

With the help of a grant from United Way, Interfaith Caregivers works closely with all seven food shelves in Polk County to help distribute this bounty to seniors and disabled adults in need.

If you are a homebound resident of Polk County you can call Interfaith Caregivers to have your food delivered from your local food shelf. You need to be registered with the food shelf and with Interfaith Caregivers. Food boxes and commodities are delivered by an Interfaith Caregivers’ volunteer every month.

If you want a ride to your local food pantry, call the pantry to make an appointment. Then call Interfaith Caregivers at 715-825-9500 to schedule a ride. Give us 2 business days’ notice to find a volunteer! You must be 60 years of age or older or an adult with a disability to be eligible for the program.

Your donations to United Way go to support the John Coughlin Food & Resource Center as well as to other services in Polk County.

Donations to Interfaith Caregivers of Polk County help coordinate services, like access to food shelves and other services so seniors and disabled adults can live independently with dignity for as long as possible.

Combine and sprinkle on top of the apples: 1 c. sugar 1 tsp. cinnamon

Put on cover (or wrap it with the foil and seal tightly). Do not peek during cooking time. Bake in 300˚ oven for 4 hours. Hint: If using the foil, put it onto a baking sheet before putting it into oven.

Tips: Save a couple of plastic knives that comes from fast food places. Put one in the flour and sugar canister. Use it to level the flour and sugar. Use it again and again. This saves washing a knife every time.

When making potatoes, make a few extra to cook.

Put the extras in plastic bags to make potato salad, frying, creamed potatoes, or add to soups, etc. for another meal.

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month The Wisconsin Well Woman Program can help eligible women schedule a breast cancer screening.

Over the course of a lifetime, one in eight women (12%) will be diagnosed with breast cancer. Anyone can get breast cancer, but as women age, the risk increases. Women with close relatives who have breast cancer are also at increased risk.

Early detection is important for finding breast cancer at an earlier stage. When cancer is found earlier it is more likely to be treatable. One early detection method is a mammogram, which takes an x-ray picture.

The Wisconsin Well Woman Program provides free mammograms to eligible women ages 45-64, or to women ages 35-44 with breast symptoms or concerns.

Polk County Health Department coordinates the Wisconsin Well Woman Program for Barron, Burnett, Douglas, Polk, Rusk, and Washburn counties. Polk County Health Department is able to assist residents of those counties in determining eligibility and enrolling in services.

BRIDGE

Even if you don’t qualify for the Wisconsin Well Women Program be sure to speak with your healthcare provider about breast cancer screening.

Breast cancer occurs more commonly in women.

However, men can get breast cancer too. If you are a male, and are concerned about your risk of breast cancer please speak with your health care provider.

Besides screening, all people can take steps to help protect themselves against breast cancer: • Stay at a healthy weight. • Exercise regularly. • Limit alcohol consumption. • Eat nutritious food. • Don’t start to smoke; but if you do smoke, you can get help quitting by calling the Wisconsin Tobacco Quit Line at 1-800-784-8669.

For more information and to see if you qualify for the Wisconsin Well Woman Program, call Jill Johnson at the Polk County Health Department at (715) 485-8500.

Centuria’s Baker Orchard Welcomes Cyclocross Bike Racing Sat., Oct. 6 CENTURIA—Baker Orchard will be hosting their 10th annual Minnesota Cycling Federation Donkey Cross Bike Race Sat. Oct. 6, with the first event rolling off at 9:45 a.m.

Hundreds of riders from all over the Midwest will be challenged by a typical cyclocross course, with barricades, run ups, mud, water, and sand every lap, making this race great for spectating and photo opportunities.

Relatively new as a bike racing format in the United States, cyclocross racing has been a signature fall finish to the bike racing season in Europe for years. Long before mountain bikes started to appear in the United States in the early 80’s as a way to enjoy biking off-road, the crafty

Europeans took their road bikes, fitted them with wider tires having an aggressive tread, and went out in the countryside racing on varied terrain courses.

The bikes have now been further improved with brake designs that work better when wet, and more clearance between the tires and the frames when the mud builds up. All the major brands offer cyclocross specific models.

The courses are set up with barricades that require riders to dismount and carry their bike over them, steep uphill sections that must be climbed on foot carrying the bike, and sometimes include a section through a tent filled with spectators.

Riders make several laps of the course, going

through the feature sections every few minutes, so watching the races is easy and action packed.

A perfect day for a cyclocross race in Belgium would have about 4 inches of wet snow on the un-frozen ground, and by the third lap it would be a mud bog, but the weather in Centuria may be dry and warm next weekend.

Baker Orchard will be open as usual with all their fall specialties, and yes, there will be apples.

Autumn Exchange Another rainy morning, after a sunny summer spell, passed by, last night's storm warning; All is gloomy, but it's well.

So I pick up sodden foliage, pick dead blossoms from the plants, grateful for minimum spoilage, and the moisture that rain grants.

Plants beneath the eaves now watered, rain misses them,ironically.

They are dry but weren't slaughtered, as the rained poured furiously.

Time passing, Amery's festival, seemed like a recent summer day, a well-loved couple was honored, Frosty Hermann and dear wife, Kay. Seeing here and there, bright colors exchange, for the lush foliage of green, tells us, though it may seem strange, "Enjoy the new season's brilliant scene."

The swing of season gives our birds, need for attentive human care, so, those empty, wet bird feeders for cold days or fall flight, we prepare.

To see the glad reaction of creatures who can't speak or smile, gives to us the satisfaction, seeing that it's all worthwhile.

Clear Lake 10th Grader, Kierra Pickard, hopes that her hair will be easier to curl after having eight inches cut off to donate.

APRIL ZIEMER| AMERY FREE PRESS

Having personal experience with a family member battling cancer made it an easy choice for 9th grader Brooklyn Tolzman to donate eight inches of her hair.

17

APRIL ZIEMER| AMERY FREE PRESS

Kate Peterson, a 12th grader at Clear Lake High School, gladly shared ten inches of her hair to benefit someone who needs it.

HAIR: Students make donations for variety of reasons FROM PAGE ONE

help cancer patients. Coach Alicia Strilzuk shared that before the season started they had six captains sit down and talk about what they wanted the program to look like this year.

One of the things high on their list of goals was to host a charity event. Many volleyball teams participate in “Dig Pink”, but they wanted to do something on a larger scale. The girls who give it their all while on the court, started planning. They put together a night of remembering, celebrating and fundraising for people affected by cancer that would take place at their home game against the Clayton Bears on September 27th.

During this game paper volleyballs would be sold to hang on a bulletin board honoring those affected by cancer. The teammates also arranged to conduct a bake sale. The highlight of the evening would be when the players walk around through the crowd of fans and obtain sponsorships for the ponytails that just hours before were attached to the heads of three of their players.

All of the funds raised will be split between two organizations. Children with Hair Loss is an organization that provides human hair replacements at no cost to children and young adults facing medically-related hair loss, such as hair is lost due to Cancer treatments, Alopecia, Trichotillomania, or burns. The other charity receiving a donation for the volleyball team’s efforts is The Little Blessing Program. It’s goal is to assist patients through gift cards given for personal or family needs including date nights, salon appointments, gas purchases, etc. at all 6 Cancer Centers of Wisconsin.

Strilzuk said, “I think it is so cool that they were so excited about doing this and that they were willing to fight for something that doesn’t necessarily affect them directly.

Brooklyn Tolzman is a freshman at CLHS. She was a little nervous about shortening her hair, but by the middle of her cut she decided it was pretty awesome. Tolzman became a little misty eyed when she shared how hard her Grandpa had fought cancer. Tolzman said, “This is just one of the reasons that I decided to cut my hair for this good cause.”

Sophomore Kierra Pickard said, “I kept thinking about kids that do not have any hair and how blessed I would feel if I gave my hair to them.” Coach Amy Weinke was given a chance by Lathrop to run the shears across Pickard’s hair and she snatched up the opportunity. While trying to keep a steady hand, She said, “I think that what these girls are doing is awesome. It makes me feel good that we have young ladies that are willing to give back.”

Kate Peterson is a senior on the volleyball team.

Peterson said, “I want to give someone the chance to have the hair that either they have never been able to grow or that because of circumstances they can no longer have. I know many people that have lost their hair due to cancer. I want to give back in honor of those people.” Peterson’s Mom and Grandma were present to witness her long locks be shortened down. They both even received a chance to cut a section hair from the young lady they felt so proud of.

When asked how she was feeling about that night’s upcoming game against Clayton, Peterson paused and responded, “Ummmm, do I have to answer that question?”

All three girls donated their hair in honor of

Karen Loesner who passed away late last year from Cancer and who was the mother of their teammate Gabby.

It was a busy evening as this fundraising event was taking place on Parent’s Night and was also the Homecoming week match. The team that had taken on the responsibility of organizing the special evening was able to fit in room for some fun during the week by participating in special activities. It seemed understandable why Pickard shared that by far her favorite part of the celebration had been ‘Merica Day, as there are probably not many other times that wearing a red tutu and blue tie-died leggings would seem like “the norm”.

“Being with my classmates and having our last hurrah together has been a great part of the week. I love the Clear Lake school spirit”, said Peterson.

When asked about her favorite portion of the school’s week long occasion Tolzman said, “Choosing a favorite part of Homecoming is a tough one but I would have to pick getting my hair cut.”

The team ended up losing their match to Clayton on Thursday, but this was an evening where their success was not determined on the court. It was apparent at the end of the of it all, that team comradery, compassion, and a hefty desire to give back is what marked these ladies as champions when they left the gymnasium.

Warrior soccer edges New Richmond

BY BRETT HART CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Amery’s 10th-ranked Division 4 boys’ soccer team took its first major step towards a Middle Border Conference title on Thursday when it handed the New Richmond Tigers their first conference loss of the season, 3-2, in Amery.

“The objective going into the New Richmond game was to just play good quality soccer and not worry about the final outcome,” said Amery Coach Flint Karis. “New Richmond has one of the top teams in this part of the State, and they showed it early.”

The Tigers (6-5-1, 4-1-1 MBC) jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first nine minutes. But the Warriors (10-0-4, 5-0-4 MBC) stuck with their game plan, showed composure and answered with a goal in the 13th minute.

The game went back and forth through the rest of the first half, but the Warriors got the tying goal with less than three minutes to play in the half.

“There is always a sequence of events that leads to a goal or conceding a goal,” Karis said.

“It is never one thing.”

Amery’s winning goal did not stray from this, as goalkeeper Mason Helbig sent a booming punt deep into New Richmond’s end of the field that went out of bounds. Irving Saavedra-Sanchez stole the ball on New Richmond’s throw in and quickly moved it forward to Alexis Castorena-Gonsales who cut the ball inside and passed it to Galen Coy. Coy kept the ball moving across the pitch to Dylan Eiynck who blasted a hard shot outside the 18 under the outstretched arms of the New Richmond goalkeeper.

“The quick ball movement by all the players involved resulted in the goal,” Karis said.

Amery finished with 11 shots on goal compared to nine by New Richmond and also held a 4-1 corner kick advantage.

Goalkeeper Mason Helbig notched seven saves and had many more plays where he came out to get to through balls or got to crossed balls

before they got to the New Richmond attackers. “Helbig’s saves were on shots that were hard and well placed,” Karis said. “He without a doubt kept the squad in the game to give us a chance for the victory.”

“I can’t say enough good things about how well the team played,” he added. “We played a back line of five to keep New Richmond’s leading scorer, Andrew Johnson, in check.

All played well together to limit New Richmond’s chances and clear out dangerous balls in front of the net. We played a double sweeper system with Mason Bosley and Kenny Lepak, protecting the space behind the defense. Noah Rademaker played stopper with some freedom to move forward in the attack. Outside backs Dylan Thomsen and Nick Erickson did a great job in keeping good defensive shape and limiting gaps in the defense.”

Note: Amery’s JV squad lost its match 4-0 but, according to Karis, played much better soccer against a more experienced New Richmond squad.

Amery crowns 3 MBC tennis champions, places 2nd as team

BY BRETT HART CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The Amery girls’ tennis team ended the regular season with a second-place Middle Border Conference finish at the conclusion of the MBC Conference Tournament on Sept. 26.

The tournament turned out to be a two-day affair, due to rain, and Amery finished with three conference champions and four runner up competitors. All Warriors placed at least third.

“Half of the team was in the middle of a match when the first rain delay stopped play,” said Amery Coach Tanya Julson. “After a 2 hour break they went out to play again, but it wasn’t long before the rain started again. At that point it was too late in the day to wait out the rain so the tournament was rescheduled for the next day. It isn’t easy for a player to continue to get psyched up restart a match, and we had to do it twice. The girls did a fantastic job of regrouping themselves mentally and physically to go out and continue play with each delay.”

MBC Champions Claiming a conference title at No. 4 singles was Sophie Whitley, who Coach Julson said, “played a strong, confident tournament.”

Whitley received a bye

in the first round and then dominated Baldwin-Woodville’s Emily Olsem, 6-3, 6-0 in the semifinals, pairing her up with New Richmond’s Zoe Davis in the championship match. Whitley won the championship match against Davis due to injury default while leading the second set, 2-0.

Amery’s other conference champions were Olivia Peterson and Mikayla Peterson at No. 3 doubles. The Peterson sisters also received a first-round bye and then defeated Baldwin-Woodville’s third-place team of Jessica Jarvis and Jessica Moor by scores of 6-4 and 6-3. They then topped New Richmond’s Sophie Fuchs and Brogan O’Flanagan in the championship match, 6-2, 7-5.

“They made it look easy today with their teamwork and effort,” Coach Julson said of the Petersons.

MBC Runners Up At. No. 1 singles, Drew Meyer used a variety of strategies, along with mental toughness, to wear down her opponents, according to Coach Julson.

That plan earned her a shut-out win over Osceola’s Tayler Kisler in the first round and a 6-4, 7-6 victory over Baldwin-Woodville’s Shealene Wolgast in the semifinals. New Richmond’s Mia Bakke escaped with

Back row L-R: Mikayla Peterson, Essie Whitehead, Allsion Oman, Olivia Braaten, and Autumn Rivard. Front row L-R: Olivia Peterson, Drew Meyer, Sophie Whitley, Hannah Zinn, and Grace Springett.

a tie break victory over Meyer in the final, 2-6, 7-5, 7-10.

Autumn Rivard placed second at No. 3 singles.

“Fight and determination carried her all over the court as she ran down each shot,” said Coach Julson.

Rivard topped B-W’s Hanna Stitt in the semifinals, 7-6 (4), 6-2, before dropping a toe-to-toe showdown to New Richmond’s Ariana Devereux in the championshipo match, 6-7 (1), 5-7.

At No. 1 doubles, Al-

lison Oman and Olivia Braaten advanced to the championship match with a 6-1, 6-1 first round victory over Mondovi’s Brooklyn Howell and Destiny Anderson and a 6-2, 7-5 semifinal win over B-W’s Lizzy Dobson and Jordan Drilling.

“This team has the ability to use multiple strategies to keep their opponents guessing,” Julson said.

New Richmond’s Katie Eickhoff and Anna Hop won the title match, 6-1, 6-4.

Third Place finishers No. 2 singles player Hanna Zinn placed with wins against Ellsworth and Osceola.

“Consistency and patience helped her battled through long points and games,” Julson said.

Essie Whitehead and Grace Springett earned third place in No. 2 doubles also with wins overs Ellsworth and Osceola.

“This team worked well together and played solid tennis all day,” Julson said.

New Richmond won the team conference title after controlling both the tournament and duals.

Amery tied with Baldwin-Woodville for second place in the final standings after placing second at the tournament and third in duals. B-W was third at the tournament and second in duals.

Rounding out the final four spots in the conference standings (in order) were Osceola, Ellsworth, Mondovi and Unity/ Luck.

Amery volleyball out of sync vs.

Ellsworth

BY BRETT HART CONRIBUTING WRITER

Amery’s volleyball team suffered its first Middle Border Conference loss on Sept. 25 when it took on Ellsworth on the road and fell in three sets.

“We never got into our own rhythm on offense or defense,” said Amery Coach Lisa Markee.

Amery trailed the entire first game before falling 18-25. The Warriors then jumped out to a 3-0 led in game two but lost control when Ellsworth took a 5-4 advantage amidst a 6-0 run. Amery did manage to tie the score at 16-16 and 17-17 and claim the lead again at 24-22, but ended up dropping the set, 24-26. Game three was all Ellsworth from start to finish, ending in a 14-25 Warrior loss.

Madelyn Granica tallied 11 kills and an ace. Abby Schmidt had eight kills, two aces and a block Ella Schmidt earned two kills and a block. Drew Granica racked up 14 assists, two blocks and three kills. Hanna VanSomeren finished with 16 assists and an ace.

ARNELL MEMORIAL HUMANE SOCIETY

BIRTHS Amery Hospital & Clinic Amery

The unseasonal and unreasonably chilly temps on Saturday morning, September 29, didn’t dissuade a crowd of hearty canines and their caregivers from attending the 2018 Arnell “Paws on the Trail” fundraising event. A brisk walk on the Stower Seven Lakes Trail warmed everyone up for the “Fun Dog” Contests that followed.

Dog Walking participants competed in a number of contests that showcased their individual special talents. Lisa Simon and her dog Fritz (adopted from Arnell) were awarded the Top Pledges Collected prize, with Steph Cahill and Hayley Olson tying for second place and Shelly Anderson raising the third Most Pledges Collected award. The Paws on the Trail event is a fundraising event for the animals at the Arnell shelter. Pledges raised will help Arnell offer a second chance to hundreds of homeless pets in search of a loving home.

Arnell adopted alumni won Smallest Dog, Lacey Black, Best Junior Handler, Kermit with Carlene Morgan and Quickest Cookie Catcher, Fritz Simon.

The Oldest Dog was a 13 year old Black Lab mix named Gracie Gusa and Youngest went to three month old Buddy, a Shih Tzu mix. Frank Evans, a Newfoundland-St. Bernard mix, was the Largest Dog.

The Simon Says contest included a full spectrum of pups, with the quickest participants battling it out to the very end. It was to be Redford Wilson, a Red Australian Shepherd, who won the prize for his handler, April.

Opie Doughty, the Walker Coonhound delivered the Best Vocal Performance and the Best Kiss. Ava Schueller and her Blue Heeler-Pointer, Letty, easily won the Best Hand Shake contest and Cavalier Spaniel Shelby Drier won Waggiest Tail. The Best Mystery Mutt award went to a Wirehaired Dachshund-Terrier named Webster, but we are only guessing at his breeding because his origins are truly a mystery.

The Best Trick competition was blown away by Golden Retriever Rocky Lindberg, who Sat Pretty on his hind legs, balancing a treat on his muzzle and flipping it in the air on command to catch the treat in mid air. But that was not all the superstar did to earn his Best Trick award. He gave a High Five in the air, wove his way through his handler’s legs like they were agility poles and jumped over a stuffed toy hurdle held up by his proud parents, Brian and Sue. Rocky was also a close contender in the Best Kisser contest.

A few dogs wore their Paws on the

Trail T-Shirts but the Best Costume contestants took it to a new level.

Competing for Best Costume were: a Black Newfie Stegosaurus, a Beagle Gondolier, a Black Retriever Circus Dog carrying a monkey on his back, a Beagle K-9 Firefighter, a Yorkie and Shih Tzu couple, he in a Hawaiian Shirt and she wearing a grass skirt, a Collie mix cape wearing Wizard and a Red Heeler Lumberjack, complete with red flannel, an ax and Babe the Blue Ox. All of the dogs were good sports, dazzling in their costumes; really quite impressive. Hunter the Beagle won the prize in his homemade Gondolier costume. He wore a black and white striped T-Shirt, a red bow-tie, cummerbund and straw boater cap with a matching band. Visit our Facebook Page to see all of the Costume, Trick and Personality Winners.

BALDWIN, Wis. - In cooperation with local businesses, Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources staff will collect deer heads for chronic wasting disease surveillance in Saint Croix and Pierce counties for testing during the 2018 archery, crossbow and gun hunting seasons.

Check out this segment of Wild Wisconsin to learn more about CWD in Wisconsin. https://www. youtube.com/embed/ndooO3MGmQA Hunters who harvest an adult deer within Saint Croix and Pierce counties are strongly encouraged to consider submitting a sample from the deer for chronic wasting disease testing.

Cooperating taxidermists and meat processors will either remove the proper tissue samples or collect the entire deer head and portion of neck for testing. Hunters who harvest an adult deer within these counties can go to a cooperator and provide them the head with 3-5 inches of the neck attached, the deer harvest authorization number for the harvested deer, DNR customer number, the harvest location and hunter contact information. CWD testing is free of charge to the hunter, and anyone submitting the head will receive their results in two to three weeks.

For a full list of local and statewide CWD sampling stations, visit dnr.wi.gov and search keywords "CWD Sampling" on the DNR website.

Head samples can be dropped off at the following locations: • Deer’s Food Locker Inc. - 210 Main St. N, Deer Park (715-269-5118); • Kessler Processing - 1181 State Road 128, Glenwood City (715-265-4248); • Pierce County Meats - 460 E Wall St., Ellsworth (715-237-4741); • Ptacek’s IGA - 1449 Orrin Road, Prescott (612963-3168) In addition to CWD cooperators, hunters may also have their adult deer that was harvested in these counties tested for CWD by dropping their deer heads with 3-5 inch portion of neck off at a self-serve kiosk that can be accessed any time of the day. These kiosks are located at multiple locations within each county. Hunters will simply follow the directions posted in the kiosk.

• 35 Express – W3541 State Road 35, Maiden Rock (715-448-2027); • 63 Express – N1817 785th St., Hager City (715792-5212); • B & J Hardware – 410 Main St., Somerset (715-247-3377); • BP Gas Station – 1553 Paulson Road, River Falls (715-426-4880); • Gregerson Ace Hardware – 880 Cedar St., Baldwin (715-684-3246); • Holiday Gas Station @ 4 Corners – 2098 State HWY 64, New Richmond (715-246-5188); • Mill’s Fleet Farm – 1001 Industrial St., Hudson (715-386-3281); • Red Barn Country Store – W4890 State Road 29, Spring Valley (715-778-5848); • Willow River State Park – 1034 CTY HWY A, Hudson (715-386-5931) Wisconsin's citizens play a key role in CWD sampling efforts throughout Wisconsin, and department staff would like to thank all participants in advance for their continued efforts.

Lake Country Dairy Wins Master Cheesemaker 2 Years in a Row! The coveted title of Grand Master Cheesemaker is awarded each year to the very best artisan cheese in the contest. This is determined by judging each blue-ribbon cheese entry in a championship round and declaring the winner of the highest-scoring product as the Grand Master. Lake Country Dairy (LCD) in Turtle Lake, WI, was awarded for the 2nd year in a row the honor of GrandMaster Cheesemaker with the award-winning entry, Altu, a smear ripened cheese.

Last year, Lake Country Dairy earned the title with their Monteau, another smear ripened cheese. Lake Country Dairy had other blue-ribbon-winning entries in the open class for hard

cheese with their Traditional Romano and the open class for soft and spreadable cheese with their Mascarpone.

Each blue-ribbon entry from the Wisconsin State Fair Dairy Products Contest was sold during the event, raising $42,730 for student scholarships and dairy promotions at the Wisconsin State Fair. Leading off the auction was 22 pounds of Lake Country Dairy’s award-winning Altu, which sold for $3,190 to DR Tech of Grantsburg. A big thank you to DR Tech for its generous support of the Wisconsin State Fair Dairy Promotions Board, and our industry, through their successful bid on Lake Country Dairy’s winning cheese, Altu. Thank you!

Clear Lake Community Theater presents “Night Comes Early” The Clear Lake Community Theater’s fall presentation will be the farce, “Night Comes Early”, by Burton Bumgarner and with arrangements through Eldridge Publishing Co., Lancaster, PA. The director of the Moon Lake Community Theater, Missy Bailey, has dreamed about directing a production of a 1930s psychological melodrama called “Night Comes Early.” Now that the opportunity has come, she encounters

overwhelming obstacles; cast members who don’t know their lines, who drop out at the last minute, and workmen who can’t finish building the set. No one is ready on opening night, but the show must go on, even without enough actors to fill the roles. “Night Comes Early” is a fastpaced farce that shows the anxiety of a director attempting to mount a production of a play.

Performance dates are: Fridays and Saturdays: October 12th & 19th and

October 13th & 20th @ 7:00 p.m. Sunday Matinees: October 14th and October 21th @ 2:00 p.m.

At the Clear Lake Area Community Center Gymnasium.

Admissions prices: Adults - $8.00, Senior Citizens - $7.00 and ages 18 & under - $5.

Refreshments served during intermission.

Free will donation.

“Night Comes Early” is presented through special arrangements with Eldridge Pub. Co.

I am old in years but young in mind, I am thankful to be one of that kind.

As the annals of time keep passing by, Like the rest, she will find a guy.

'Making a Murderer' sequel set to premiere Oct. 19 MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A sequel to the popular “Making a Murderer” documentary series about a Wisconsin murder case is set to premiere Oct. 19 on Netflix.

The first “Making a Murderer” recounted the story of Steven Avery and his nephew, Brendan Dassey, who were convicted in the 2005 slaying of Wisconsin photographer Teresa Halbach. Avery and Dassey are serving life sentences in the killing.

Halbach's remains were found in the Avery family's Manitowoc County salvage yard. Avery insists police framed him. Dassey has argued detectives coerced him into confessing that he helped Avery rape and kill Halbach.

The documentary won Avery and Dassey legions of fans and spurred demands for their release.

The 10-episode sequel, “Making a Murderer Part 2,” will follow their appeals. The premiere date is Dassey's birthday.

The Northern Lakes Center for the Arts presents

Netflix says Emmy-winning filmmakers Laura Ricciardi and Moira Demos had “exclusive access” to Avery, Dassey, the men's family members and their legal teams. It says the second season explores the “emotional toll” the appeals take on all of them.

Dassey was 16 years old when he confessed to Wisconsin authorities. His attorneys argued that he is borderline intellectually disabled and that police manipulated him into confessing, but the U.S. Supreme Court refused without comment to take his case in June. One of Dassey's attorneys has said the fight to win him a new trial will continue.

Avery was denied his request for a new trial last October. Avery's attorney said she planned to present new evidence and new testimony, but a judge found no grounds to warrant a new trial. Avery is appealing for a new trial.

The first multi-part “Making a Murderer” debuted in 2015, sparking conjecture about the pair's innocence.

Those who worked on the cases said the filmmakers left out key pieces of evidence and presented a biased view, but Ricciardi and Demos defended their work.

FEMA officials assess Wisconsin flood damage MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Federal Emergency Management Agency officials are touring Wisconsin to assess damage in communities that were hit by flooding and tornadoes in August.

Five FEMA teams are assessing damage to public infrastructure and homes in order to determine whether Wisconsin qualifies for federal disaster aid, Wisconsin Public Radio reported.

The assistance process can be lengthy but the agency wants to ensure people have time to gather evidence of damage, said Pam Saulsby, a spokeswoman for FEMA. “When you consider the magnitude of a particular disaster and the sometimes record number of people who are applying for assistance, then we do beg for patience,” she said. “We have staff who are tested and trained in getting people on the other side of disasters. But every case is different and we want to take time with people who need more time to get all of this processed.”

Wisconsin officials estimate there's more than $108 million in residential storm damage and $75 million in public infrastructure damage.

La Crosse County Emergency Management Director Keith Butler said he believes the state will meet FEMA's public assistance program requirement, which would help repair public infrastructure such as roads and bridges. But Butler said he's unsure if the county will qualify for the agency's individual assistance program.

“If we don't have enough major destruction, then you can't call that a national disaster. That's a local disaster. And that's hard, it's hard

to look at peoples' faces and say it was bad, but it wasn't bad enough,” Butler said.

Jessica Johnson, who lives near the La Crosse-Vernon County line, said flood waters shifted her mobile home's foundation and damaged her property and cars.

“There isn't money set aside just to fix something like this,” she said. “I was hoping for something.

I've been calling every number I can find to try to figure out what resources there are.”

Salvation Army receives donation from Burnett Dairy Cooperative

Angela Moulton of the Salvation Army accepted a $2,000 charitable donation from Burnett Dairy Cooperative of Grantsburg, Wis., on September 19th. The donation is comprised of Burnett Dairy’s contribution of $1,000 with matching funds provided by CoBank’s Sharing Success program. The funds will help support the Salvation Army Backpack Program of Polk and Burnett Counties.

“Their donation will help families in need,” Moulton says. “With the help of numerous volunteers, churches and organizations, we fill more than 500 backpacks each week during the school year for 10 school districts throughout Polk and Burnett counties. We thank Burnett Dairy Cooperative and CoBank for their support.”

Each backpack contains a dinner, breakfast, snack, fruit, and vegetable. The backpacks are meant to supplement food in homes over the weekend when children are not in school. Giving back to those in need has been a longstanding cooperative principle for Burnett Dairy. They are honored to partner with CoBank and donate to such a worthy cause.

Less weeds equals more recreation Dale Richardson, Operations Manager, Apple River Protection and Rehabilitation District, recently shared his annual Apple River Weed Harvesting Report. It sounds as if weed harvesting efforts are paying off.

“Following last winter’s cold temperatures and heavy snow cover, this spring’s crop of Curlyleaf Pondweed, an invasive species, which grows over the winter under the ice and reaches its peak a few weeks after ice-out, was a bit slower to grow,” reports Dale Richardson, Operations Manager, Apple River Protection and Rehabilitation District.

He also said, “As a result, we began harvesting operations on May 21th, which is about a week later than normal. We also found that the Curlyleaf was less dense than usual so our tonnage was lower than we normally find.

As we got into late spring/

Weed harvesting on the Apple River has eneded for another season. For the second year in a row, the total amount of weeds harvested has declined.

summer, the Curlyleaf died off and the Coontail came in right on schedule.”

The Apple River weed harvesting continued throughout

the summer and early fall and ceased operations on September 12th. Richards reported that this is normal timing.

“In total, we were on the wa-

ter for 69 days (about normal) this season and harvested a total of 1,575,639 pounds of weeds which is about 5% lower than last year. This was

our sixth full year of weed harvesting operations and we’ve seen a steady decline in volume of weeds brought in each year so we believe that we’re really making a difference”, reported Richardson.

He mentioned that they also see each year that there are more and more new docks out and more new pontoon boats parked at residences all up and down the flowage. Also, They notice much more recreational boat traffic throughout the season.

Richardson said, “This tells us that people are really starting to enjoy being on the River once again. Many thanks go out to our primary operators Dave Schleusner, Dean Swanson, and Rich Gregerson for all their hard work this season. We really appreciate it.”

In the battle against breast cancer, early detection is a woman’s most powerful weapon. In fact, according to the National Cancer Institute, when breast cancer is detected in an early, localized stage, the five-year survival rate is 98 percent.

That’s why it is so important for all women to make breast health awareness a regular part of their healthcare routine.

Growing Awareness to Save Lives

A mammogram can detect breast cancer in its earliest, most treatable stages, and many major health organizations recommend annual mammogram screenings for women beginning at age 40 . Experts also recommend clinical breast exams and breast self-exams to check for breast abnormalities on a regular basis. Any woman noticing unusual changes in her breasts should contact her healthcare provider immediately. Women of all ages should speak to their doctor about his or her personalized recommendations for breast cancer screening.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. As we recognize Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we remember the women who have lost their lives to the disease, and we voice our support for those in the fight of their lives. These sponsors join us in raising awareness of the importance of early detection in the fight against breast cancer and the importance of continued support for breast cancer research.
