Editor’s note: The Boston Marathon is considered to be America’s most prestigious marathon. Each year the event draws more than 20,000 competitors and 500,000 spectators from all over the world. The marathon, started in 1897 and modeled after the 1896 Olympic event, is held each year on Patriots’ Day, the day commemorating the anniversary of the ÀUVW EDWWOHV RI WKH $PHULFDQ 5HYROXWLRQDU\ War. Of the nearly 450 Wisconsin residents to qualify for this year’s marathon, approximately 350 completed the 26-plus mile event. 5,*+7 .DWLH .RRLNHU ZDYHV DV VKH KHDGV WRZDUG WKH ILQLVK RI WKH %RVWRQ 0DUDWKRQ 3KRWR FRXUWHV\ RI WKH .RRLNHU IDPLO\

The start of something big

by Jackie Thorwick Special to the Leader FREDERIC - There was a frosty start to a new Habitat for Humanity project in Frederic on Saturday, April 13. A brief service was held and ground was broken WKDW PRUQLQJ EXW QRW EHIRUH Ă€UVW GLJJLQJ through a layer of snow. A home will be built starting soon at 521 Benson Road with volunteers and with Jared and Krista Moe, the family who will own the home when it is complete. Carole and Todd Wondra, Frederic, who donated the land, were present. It was originally owned by her uncle and aunt, Martin and Tillie Hanson. They farmed the land, as did Carole’s parents, but the land has been vacant for a number of years. Carole said at the service that Martin and Tillie had no children of their own, but had “adoptedâ€? many children into their lives. She said the children that will grow up on this land will, in a sense, be Martin and Tillie’s kids, too, and she knew how happy that would make them. William Johnson IV, Frederic Village president, said the village board is pleased that Habitat will build a home on land that has been vacant for so long. The eight-acre parcel is expected to be the site for several homes over the next years. Eric Kube, executive director of Wild Rivers Habitat for Humanity, explained that this home will be built very quickly, as it will be part of an AmeriCorps BuildA-Thon which Habitat will host here starting May 6. That week, 80 AmeriCorps members from all over the United States will be here to build and repair homes. A home in Frederic and one in Luck will be

MILLTOWN - Jared and Krista Moe, of Milltown, were born and bred in Polk County. Krista grew up in St. Croix Falls and Jared in Milltown. “We both tried to leave,â€? said Krista, smiling, “and we both came back. We have family here and we want to be near them.â€? They are both musical – both were in bands when they met 10 years ago. Krista played the trombone in a jazz band and Jared sang in a rock group. They’ve been together since then, are married with two kids, Isaiah, 5, and Laurel, 1 year old. Jared has worked construction and as a cook. He recently changed jobs and is working at the bakery in Frederic so that he can be home evenings with the kids. “He took a pay cut to do it, but it was important for our family, so he did it,â€? said Krista. He has had some health issues. Twice he has experienced spontaneous lung collapse, an extremely painful thing. One quarter of one of his lungs has been cut off and stapled shut.

So she came home, and now is studying to be an occupational therapy assistant at WITC - New Richmond. “I couldn’t do it without Jared’s help,â€? she said. Krista also works at the Milltown Library. The Moe family is renting a two-bedroom duplex in Milltown. It’s a decent place, but it’s very small, 750 square feet. Their two kids, a boy and a girl, share a room, which is far from ideal. They’d love to own a home, but they didn’t qualify for a loan. “We’d be getting close to qualify, then it’s the car, it’s a dental bill, something comes up. You start to think, ‘What’s next, we’re never going to get there,’â€? said Jared.

Luck School maxed out Ford test drive event

Cumberland dealer visits third school in area by Greg Marsten Leader staff writer LUCK – Luck High School was the latest local school to have Cifaldi Motors of Cumberland and Ford Motors hold a unique fundraiser, where schools are given credit for community test drives during one event, held on Saturday, April 6,where four new 2013 Fords were put through their paces by a steady stream of potential buyers. The coaches and players for the Luck boys baseball and football teams assisted all day with providing food, instruction and management of the prizes. Michael and Patrick Cifaldi spent the day at the school, answering questions and assisting with the test drives. “This is the third time we’ve done this,â€? stated Patrick &LIDOGL ´7KH Ă€UVW WLPH ZDV LQ &XPEHUODQG DQG WKHQ ODVW year in Shell Lake.

The event was sponsored by Ford and ran for seven WKH WHVW GULYH SURJUDP

hours, during which time the school was credited $20 for each test drive, up to $6,000. Both the district and the dealership promoted the event, which drew a steady crowd of potential new-car buyers and outright school supporters in for up to four test drives, each. Cifaldi Motors reported that the event did indeed reach the maximum, in spite of the rainy, windy weather that day. “(Even) in the cold wind and rain, (they) made the Drive One 4 UR School event a big success at Luck High School. We were able to raise the $6,000 for the school ... We’d also like to thank the coaches and kids that helped out with the event,� stated the Cumberland dealer in a released statement. The students who volunteered that day also posed for several group photos that may earn them even more money later, as part of a secondary contest among the participating schools. Cifaldi said they might be able to even double the $6,000 the school already earned.

a question like this before. I found myself truly asking this question, I mean really, why do I get up every morning? What keeps me going? Do I have a purpose for getting out of bed? I thought back to this morning: I got out of bed because my alarm told me I had to. I got out of bed because I had a class I couldn’t be late for. I got dressed and put on my makeup because I wanted to look like I put at least some effort into the day. I put on my backpack, grabbed some coffee and a bagel, and ate and drank because I was hungry. But I did these things without thinking. I was just doing, doing, doing, simply because I had to. I was suddenly shocked to realize I had been living my days for the past however many months with no purpose. I realize I’m not going to wake up every morning feeling like Audrey Hepburn or Mother Theresa, but if I’m going to disturb my dreams and get out of my comfortable bed, it’s surely got to be

for a reason! So maybe I don’t have a concrete, black and white answer to what gets me up in the morning. So what? For me, it’s a string of little things, little purposes. I get up to see my boyfriend, because I love him and I love spending time with him. I get up to laugh and grab breakfast or lunch with my friends. I get up to celebrate the sunshine or the birds or maybe just the fact that a zit miraculously disappeared overnight. I get up to do something, learn something - even if my day consists of reading a few pages of D ERRN RU Ă€QLVKLQJ RQH DVVLJQPHQW LW¡V at least something WKDW , KDYH IXOĂ€OOHG I get up to push one more day ahead, push one more day toward some goal, large or small, one day at a time. Because life isn’t lived by the year, or the months - it’s lived in the days and the hours. So what gets you up in the morning?

What they found is that mirror QHXURQV ZLOO Ă€UH ERWK ZKHQ D SHUVRQ anticipates pain (of a pinprick), as well as when a person watches someone else receive a pinprick. According to researchers, the lighting up of an electrode monitoring a single mirror neuron is like taking a snapshot of empathy in action. Wait. It gets even better. According to Dr. Nicholas Christakis and James Fowler, not only do we affect those in close proximity to us but, “Happiness spreads through social networks like an emotional contagion.â€? In other words, your mood ripples outward affecting not only those around you, but also people you don’t know and may never meet. According to Christakis and Fowler, who have been mining data collected from nearly 5,000 people over a period of 20 years, if you’re upbeat, chances of that rubbing off on those near you goes up 25 percent. Fascinatingly, when those people leave, there is still a 10-percent chance that people close to them (friends, family, neighbors, etc.) will enjoy a hit of positive energy as well. Likewise, a person close to that person has a 5.6-percent chance of getting a positive charge. What does this mean? For the sake of simplicity, let’s say that a teacher comes

CHURCH NEWS We can’t avoid all distractions, but we can try. One way is to stay focused with the use of day planners—our to-do lists. Another way is by turning off our phones and computers during crucial times and scheduling the times we open our e-mail or read our Facebook posts. Yes, we can actually live without them at times! A sure way to avoid distractions is by asking God to teach us his priorities. That is, setting aside time for him every day and focusing on how we can best serve him. One of the best lessons Jesus WDXJKW LV WR ´6HHN Ă€UVW WKH NLQJGRP RI God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own WKLQJV 6XIĂ€FLHQW IRU WKH GD\ LV LWV RZQ trouble.â€? (Matthew 6:33-34)

Back in Jesus’ day, ordinary citizens had much to worry about. With high taxes imposed by the cruel Roman government, they struggled to feed themselves and their families. They dared not disobey Roman rules or they might die from a Roman sword. Talk about distractions! Jesus knew they suffered and offered them the best solution—his love and peace and strength in the midst of trouble and distractions. He offers us the same. Lord, we thank you for your provisions, both physical and spiritual. Help us to pay attention to you so we can avoid worrisome distractions. We want to focus on your purposes more than on ours. In Jesus’ name, amen. Mrs. Bair may be reached at sallybair@ gmail.com.

any kind is to focus on one thing at a time. Tell that to a working mom and she’ll laugh. Tell that to teachers who must teach, maintain classroom order, act as diplomats, tend to physical and emotional owchies, keep their sanity, and grade endless papers after hours. Tell that to small-business owners who must juggle millions of tasks, keep their employees happy and working, and pay the bills. Unfortunately, multitasking is often necessary in our fast-paced society. Bombarded with new things every day, our mind becomes overloaded—when we allow it—with too many details for mental and emotional comfort. Our quest to be the best often brings frustration and worry because of our distractions while exceeding the speed limit through life.

Big Gig event raises over $5K for Siren band and choir trip to Disney World by Jean Koelz Leader staff writer SIREN—Siren High School’s band director, Bryn Anderson, sighed with relief as she described this year’s fundraising efforts as “in wind-down mode.� After several fundraisers throughout the school year that included the sale of candles, candy bars and personalized cookware, Siren’s music department held a fundraiser concert, inviting students, family and community members to an afternoon of entertainment on Sunday, April 14. Guests were invited to make a freewill offering for lunch, donated and catered by the St. Croix Casino, and bid on tables full of silent auction items. The production itself was shrouded in secrecy, so the audience was surprised by the band’s energetic and choreographed entrance from the back of the full auditorium. Engaging in some showmanship herself, Anderson made her entrance dressed as a gorilla chasing a banana, paying homage to the success of the group’s fruit sales fundraiser. Parade theatrics and colorful characters were totally appropriate, considering the event was designed to help send about 50 students to perform at Disney World this June. “The cost per student is about

7KH 6LUHQ EDQG RSHQHG WKH VKRZ ZLWK D URXVLQJ |+RW +RW +RW} DQG |3DWULRWLF 6SHFWDFXODU } $782,� explained Anderson. Students and chaperones have to pay their own way. However, depending on participation, students can offset part or all of the costs of the weeklong trip to Florida. “About one-fourth of them pay for their entire trip through fundraising,� she added.

The expo offered valuable information on health and wellness for the entire family. Of special interest were tours of an ambulance and helicopter where youngsters of all ages could get a close-up look at the rescue vehicles. Health expo guests could also take advantage of exam services offered at reduced costs during the day, pick up free BMC gift bags, visit vendor booths, sign up for door prizes, and enjoy snacks and sandwiches prepared by Wake-up Call Coffee CafÊ staff. )XWXUH QXUVH .HOVH\ +DQG\ VKRZHG RII KHU QHZ KDW

POLK COUNTY - Throughout the month of April, the Polk County Child Advocacy Referral Interagency Network Group will be promoting a countywide Blue Ribbon Campaign through various activities. You may notice blue ribbon yard signs and parenting information throughout the communities, hear information over the radio, see articles in the paper and talk to your kids about what they heard at school. For full version of this story, see the-leader.net, Parents need support. Parenting is one of the most difficult jobs you will ever do. All parents know that children don’t come with an instruction booklet. Too many parents face the challenges of raising their children without the knowledge and support they need and deserve. There are so many trials that face parents today, as they work to raise their children in a world that challenges our children to an even greater degree. Bullying, teasing, substance abuse, sports, academics, the list of struggles goes on and on. We all have opportunities to reach out to parents in our own families, neighborhoods, places of worship and places of employment. Do your part to support children and families in our communities. What to do when you see a stressed-out parent in public: • Empathize with the parent. “I know how my child sometimes acts up in a restaurant.â€? • Offer assistance. “Is there anything I can do to help?â€? • Divert the parent’s attention. “Children can sure try our patience, can’t they?â€? • Relieve the tension by saying something positive. “She sure has beautiful eyes.â€? • Divert the child’s attention. “Let me show you a picture of my son. He’s a big boy like you.â€? • Ensure safety. If the child is left alone in a shopping cart, stand nearby until the parent returns. Our job as parents is to provide support to these growing individuals, but who is there to support us as parents? With no instruction manual to check, many parents often make choices they wish they could change ‌ but don’t know how. Many parents aren’t sure where to seek support, as families lose their extended network by moving for jobs or education. Polk County has many resources for families: CRA – Community Referral Agency, 715-825-4404. Family Preservation and Support Project, 715-4858548 or 715-485-8833.

The Polk County Treasurer, Amanda Nissen, has prepared a List of Tax Liens of Polk County being Foreclosed by Proceeding In Rem, a verified copy of which is attached and incorporated herein by reference. 2. The foreclosure of the tax liens through in rem proceedings is governed by Section 75.521 Wisconsin Statutes and the requirements therein have been fulfilled. 3.

Because of the limitations of information in the Treasurer’s Office, they are based solely on name matches. While we are required to list them based on name matches, we understand that they may not be against the person indicated.

Wondra, Polk County Clerk, in her official capacity and by and through the undersigned attorney, petitions the Court pursuant to Section 75.521 for judgment vesting title in Polk County and as and for said petition alleges and states as follows: 1. The Polk County Treasurer, Amanda Nissen, has prepared a List of Tax Liens of Polk County being Foreclosed by Proceeding In Rem, a verified copy of which is attached and incorporated herein by reference. 2. The foreclosure of the tax liens through in rem proceedings is governed by Section 75.521 Wisconsin Statutes and the requirements therein have been fulfilled. 3. The time periods after the date of the tax certificates, as stated is set forth in Section 75.521 (3), have lapsed for the properties included and described in said List of Tax Liens. 4.

WHEREFORE, the Petitioner requests that the court grant judgment in favor of Polk County vesting title to the parcels of land described in the attached “List of Tax Liens� in Polk County, thereby, barring any and all clai ms whatsoever of the former owners or any persons claiming through and under the former owners since the date of filing the list of tax liens in the Office of the Clerk of Circuit Court.

Because of the limitations of information in the Treasurer’s Office, they are based solely on name matches. While we are required to list them based on name matches, we understand that they may not be against the person indicated. This practice is consistent with other property tax foreclosure listings by County Treasurer’s Offices across the State of Wisconsin.

of Wisconsin’s leading teachers and students. We are very pleased to have Herb Kohl join us for this special recognition of excellence in education,� Marggraf said. “Herb Kohl made formal award presentations to the recipients at the luncheon.� The Herb Kohl Foundation issued $1,000 Excellence and Initiative Scholarship grants to the postsecondary institution that each student will attend.

Wondra, Polk County Clerk, in her official capacity and by and through the undersigned attorney, petitions the Court pursuant to Section 75.521 for judgment vesting title in Polk County and as and for said petition alleges and states as follows: 1. The Polk County Treasurer, Amanda Nissen, has prepared a List of Tax Liens of Polk County being Foreclosed by Proceeding In Rem, a verified copy of which is attached and incorporated herein by reference. 2. The foreclosure of the tax liens through in rem proceedings is governed by Section 75.521 Wisconsin Statutes and the requirements therein have been fulfilled. 3. The time periods after the date of the tax certificates, as stated is set forth in Section 75.521 (3), have lapsed for the properties included and described in said List of Tax Liens. 4. Notice of this proceeding shall be given to all parties specified in Section 75.521 (3) c Stat. by the County Treasurer sending a copy of this petition, and a copy of said List of Tax Liens of Polk County by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested.

WHEREFORE, the Petitioner requests that the court grant judgment in favor of Polk County vesting title to the parcels of land described in the attached “List of Tax Liens� in Polk County, thereby, barring any and all clai ms whatsoever of the former owners or any persons claiming through and under the former owners since the date of filing the list of tax liens in the Office of the Clerk of Circuit Court. Dated this 14th day of March, 2013. Carole T. Wondra, Polk County Clerk Jeffrey B. Fuge, ID# 1024292 Polk County Government Center Corporation Counsel, Attorney for Polk County 100 Polk County Plaza, Suite 110 1005 West Main St., Ste. 100, Balsam Lake, WI 54810 Balsam Lake, WI 54810 PH: 715-485-9210 Per Wisconsin State Statute, all possible child support liens are listed. Because of the limitations of information in the Treasurer’s Office, they are based solely on name matches. While we are required to list them based on name matches, we understand that they may not be against the person indicated. This practice is consistent with other property tax foreclosure listings by County Treasurer’s Offices across the State of Wisconsin.
