Man airlifted after bear attack

Man’s small dog may have played lifesaving role

by Gary King Leader editor BURNETT COUNTY - A 63-year-old rural Shell Lake man was airlifted to North Memorial Hospital in the Twin Cities with serious injuries after being mauled by a black bear on Monday evening, June 17.

Jerry Brown was attacked at his residence on Swiss Chalet Road in the Town of Dewey at approximately 9:15 p.m., allegedly after his dog, Cricket, tangled with the bear and Brown attempted to intervene. Brown sustained multiple injuries, including to his face, but was listed in stable condition after undergoing seven hours of reconstructive surgery on Tuesday.

Cricket was treated by a local veterinarian and kept overnight for observation Tuesday.

According to information from the DNR, Brown’s brother and neighbor, Randy, shot at WKH EHDU ZLWK D FDOLEHU KDQGJXQ ÀULQJ DW least a half-dozen shots before the bear turned away and ran between two sheds and down a ravine.

Randy told the Leader that when the bear turned away he made eye contact with it and it “was very unsettling.�

POLK COUNTY - A 25-year-old Maple Grove, Minn., man was airlifted to a Twin Cities hospital after suffering serious injuries to his legs during a boating accident on East Balsam Lake, Sunday, June 16.

Mark Daniel Mann was operating a stand-up-style jet ski when he reportedly came off his jet ski in front of a 20-foot Mastercraft wake boat operated by Andrew James Iverson, 23, of Minneapolis.

The 20-foot boat was stationary at the time Mann came 0DUN 0DQQ 3KRWR off his jet ski, but Iverson then FRXUWHV\ .673 FRP hit the throttle and moved forward attempting to pull a wake boarder. Iverson told authorities he felt the boat hit something that he thought was a wave, but passengers on board yelled for him to stop and said that he had struck Mann.

No alcohol was detected on the operator of the boat and is not believed to be a factor in the accident, however, the matter remains under investigation by the Polk County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department.

Iverson and Mann are friends and were recreating from 1723 S. Balsam Lake Lane. Both vessels involved in the accident are owned by Mannâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father.

Several public safety agencies responded to the scene including the Amery Area EMS, Balsam Lake Fire Department and First Responders, Apple River Area EMS and the Wisconsin State Patrol. - Gary King with information from Polk County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dept.

%ULHĂ \ RICE LAKE - Operation Break Through, a new program where vets help other vets break through the barriers of readjustment to civilian life, will begin Monday, June 17, 6-8 p.m. at the University of Wisconsin â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Barron County, Rice Lake, in Meggers Hall Room 159. The second meeting will be held Monday, June 24, at the same time and place. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This veterans program is unique,â&#x20AC;? says Lauren Thrift, veterans restorative services coordinator at BCRJP. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a peer program of vets helping vets break through the barriers of readjustment after military service or in between tours.â&#x20AC;? The program does not offer counseling or therapy service and does not take the place of other veterans services in Barron County. Veterans in readjustment may face the barriers of joblessness, homelessness, alcohol and drug abuse, family dysfunction and suicide.

There can be a stigma against veterans asking for or receiving help. For more information and for registration, call 715-7360940 or email bcrjpinfo@gwicc. org. There is no fee to participate. - submitted â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘

Much of the improvements were paid for by the DNR Safe Drinking Water program and a CDBG grant, but the village will bear a portion of the estimated $1.3 million cost. On Thursday, June 13, the village began the process to secure a $331,752 20-year bond at a 1.155-percent interest rate. ,Q RWKHU EXVLQHVV In business during the regular board meeting on Wednesday, June 12, the village board has a $5,185 bid for curb and line painting along Main Street, the highway and the fairgrounds from Fahner. Siren Village also owns painting equipment, but the board decided not to rent this equipment, at least this year, because of the time constraints on the public works department during the water utility improvements.

The two-year mowing bid was opened. There was only one bid this year. The village will pay $5,350 for each year of mowing, plus $78 per hour for assigned extra mowing. The mowing costs to the village are up this time around.

Felon who fled to Canada gets 10-year sentence

Michael Chamandy accused of trying to run over deputy

During the immediate investigation, a Polk County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department investigator, working on a tip from a witness, followed up on a possible link to a large, older model four-wheel-drive pickup truck, reportedly similar to one Chamandy owned at the time.

When the investigator went to the home where Chamandy was living on Blake Lake, near Luck, he saw the suspected truck, which was idling with its lights on on a nearby dead-end road.

The investigator was driving an unmarked Chevrolet SUV and attempted to turn around by reversing down the road, but the truck followed closely, in a bizarre sort of nose-to-nose vehicle â&#x20AC;&#x153;standoff.â&#x20AC;?

When they reached the Eagle Lounge, on CTH G and 93rd Street, the investigator slowed and stopped the unmarked squad, while turning on his police lights, while the deputy in the marked cruiser blocked his lane in the other direction. The investigator then produced his badge and ordered the driver to stop the truck.

Instead of stopping, Chamandy sped around the SUV, through the lounge parking lot, fishtailing and heading to the west - directly into the path of the parked Polk County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s squad car, with its lights blazing.

Chamandy allegedly drove at a high rate of speed nearly head-on, over and through the front end of the Dodge Charger, square at the driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s side. Somehow, the deputy suffered only minor injuries. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was really lucky. He (the deputy) was only shaken up,â&#x20AC;?

cording to court records.

A subsequent search of Chamandyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residence found a loaded, sawed-off shotgun beside his bed, which he could not legally own.

Polk County District Attorney Dan Steffen charged Chamandy with a total of eight felonies: atWHPSWHG Ă&#x20AC;UVW GHJUHH LQWHQWLRQDO homicide; first-degree reckless endangerment; attempting to Ă HH SROLFH IHORQ\ FULPLQDO GDPDJH WR SURSHUW\ IHORQ\ '8, Ă&#x20AC;IWK RU VL[WK SRVVHVVLQJ D Ă&#x20AC;UHDUP E\ a felon; and felony possession of a short-barreled shotgun.

He faced a maximum of 26 years in prison and was being held the whole time on a $10,000 cash bond.

7KH IOLJKW Chamandy was scheduled to have his sentence set after the plea agreement, but was released on a signature bond to allow his entry into chemical dependency treatment in the Twin Cities.

While the bulk of his bad behavior had been attributed to alcohol, he was released into a Salvation Army in-patient treatment program in Minneapolis with completion scheduled for just before his Nov. 30, 2010, sentencing hearing.

Ultimately, Anderson sentenced him to 10 years for the UHFNOHVV HQGDQJHUPHQW ZLWK Ă&#x20AC;YH \HDUV LQ SULVRQ DQG Ă&#x20AC;YH PRUH RI extended supervision.

Chamandy had argued that WKH IHORQ LQ SRVVHVVLRQ RI D Ă&#x20AC;UHarm charge should not be considered, as it was not his gun, but his girlfriendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Anderson didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care, as it was after the fact. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You pleaded (guilty) to it. You owned up to it,â&#x20AC;? Anderson said.

Chamandy and his attorney also downplayed the flight to Canada, arguing that he was never officially subpoenaed while in Quebec, implying that authorities knew where he was all the time.

Again Anderson did not care, noting that he was supposed to return to Polk County, regardless, as his signature bond stressed.

In the end, Anderson also added several restitution charges WR WKH Ă&#x20AC;QDO WDOO\ LQFOXGLQJ RYHU $31,000 in restitution for the totaled Dodge squad car and the deputyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lost wages as he recovered from his injuries.

Former Hardwood Store building to become new Northland Ambulance facility

Village agrees to loan ambulance service $250,000

by Mary Stirrat Leader Staff writer LUCK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The estimated cost of building a new ambulance garage on Hwy. 48 in Luck has caused Northland Municipal Ambulance Service to change its plans.

Rather than construct a new 4,800-squarefoot facility at the Hwy. 48 curve, the service is in the process of purchasing the former St. Croix Valley Hardwood Store

by Wayneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Foods Plus.

Back in February, the Luck Village Board voted to provide a $250,000 loan to NMA for the new facility, and that commitment was renewed by a 5-to-1 vote at the Wednesday, June 12, meeting when the request was made to get a loan for purchasing the Hwy. 35 building. Trustee Alan Tomlinson voted against the loan, and Trustee Phil Warhol was absent from the meeting.

The ambulance service serves 11 municipalities, each of which pays $2 per capita to the service. This revenue will be adequate to repay the loan, said Dan

Northland has been planning and saving for a new facility for the past 10 years, said Deiss and RaeAnn Allen. Many options have been looked at, they said, and when estimates for the new building on Hwy. 48 came in at $600,000, they knew it was not the best option. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is not a knee-jerk thing,â&#x20AC;? Deiss told the board. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Hardwoods Store location does come out to be a shining star.â&#x20AC;?

New clubhouse manager at Luck Golf Course

Anderson began her job as clubhouse manager in mid-May and, while she has been a little disappointed in the weather, she is enjoying the work. Along with handling things like supplies and daily record keeping, she also helps bring in and host tournaments, serves behind the bar and, in general, provides customer service.

Former manager Susan Matusiak, said Anderson, spent several days helping her get acquainted with the responsibilities of the job and has assured Anderson that she will be available to answer questions.

7KH MRE LV D JUHDW Ă&#x20AC;W IRU KHU $QGHUVRQ believes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very much a people person,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have a lot of customer service experience, and I really enjoy it. I think I have the right personality to make people happy. And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great group of people to work with.â&#x20AC;?

*ZHQ $QGHUVRQ QHZ FOXEKRXVH PDQDJHU DW /XFN *ROI &RXUVH z 3KRWR E\ 0DU\ 6WLUUDW With a good forecast, for the next few days at least, Anderson is looking forward to meeting more and more local and visiting golfers.

The program provides principal forgiveness of $500,000 of the anticipated $3 million to $3.5 million cost for the upgrade.

This is probably the last opportunity to tap into CWF money because the program, instituted in 2009 in the Obama Administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, is expected to be discontinued next year. The September 2013 deadline for submitting plans for the CWF means bumping the up the time line.

Dan Greve, water resource engineer with MSA, told the board that the Department of Natural Resources has three main concerns with the current treatment plant, which was constructed in 1981.

The high levels of ammonia, phosphorus and BODs, he said, fall outside the allowable parameters for discharging into wetlands, which the Luck plant does for eight to nine months out of the year.

He explained that the plant discharges HIĂ XHQW LQWR ERWK VHHSDJH FHOOV DQG LQWR wetland, but the seepage cells are not YHU\ HIĂ&#x20AC;FLHQW DQG FDQ RQO\ KDQGOH WKH DPmonia during the coldest months of the \HDU (IĂ XHQW LV GLVFKDUJHG WR WKH ZHWland area for the rest of the year.

More seepage cells are not the answer, he feels, because there is not adequate space to expand and it still wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t provide the capacity needed. His recommendation, working with the DNR, is to improve the treatment facilities to better meet the needs of the plant during the eight or nine months that the seepage cells are not used.

This would include sludge removal from the aerated ponds, which was last done in 2006 but only partially, installing LQĂ XHQW DQG HIĂ XHQW PHWHUV DQG VDPplers, and possible improvements to lift stations. Another important part of the SURMHFW ZRXOG EH WR LQVWDOO Ă RDWLQJ LQVXODWHG FRYHUV DQG EDIĂ HV LQ WKH DHUDWHG ODgoons to provide needed warmth to treat ammonia.

Aspects of the proposed project would address phosphorus levels, for which increasingly stringent limits will need to be met. Luckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current level of phosphorus discharge is 3.9 micrograms per liter, but during the next permit period it will need to be reduced to 1-2 micrograms per liter.

By 2019 it will need to be at .075 micrograms per liter.

Trustee Ross Anderson noted that Luck is one of two areas in the state with high levels of naturally occurring phosphorus, so it is not surprising that the discharge would have a high level.

The current average residential sewer cost in Luck is $67 per quarter. In a survey on sewer rates, with about 75 Wisconsin communities with a population of 1,000 to 2,000, Luck had the ninth lowest rate.

A project cost of $3 million, including $500,000 principal forgiveness, would increase it by about $60 per quarter, putting Luck near the top. This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t unusual when a community undertakes a major treatment facility improvement, said Rasmussen.

Other funding sources are possible, he said, including a community development block grant and a USDA rural development grant. The CDBG has a maximum limit of $500,000, which would reduce the average residential bill by about $12 per quarter. The USDA grant would have a maximum of $300,000, and would necessitate a survey to determine if the required 51 percent of residents were low or middle income.

The 2000 census indicated that 49 percent of Luck residents are low or middle income, said Rasmussen, and the economic climate has probably changed since then.

The board will need to make a decision at its July meeting on whether to pursue the Clean Water funds so that MSA can meet the September deadline for submission.

DSI awarded grant to add handicapped playground and path to dog park

by Sherill Summer Leader staff writer

for snowshoeing or cross-country skiing in the winter.

The locations of the raised gardens have not been determined yet, but at least one of the raised gardens will likely be a sensory garden where touching and smelling the plants is encouraged.

Wacek has already contacted the Wisconsin Council for the Blind for advice on how to create paths for individuals with low vision. The DNR has experience in creating handicapped playgrounds in state parks so Wacek has contacted the DNR, as well, but Wacek expects that it will take about a year for all the details to be worked out and the handicapped amenities to be fully in place.

In the meantime, Wacek hoped to continue to expand the partnership between the community, DSI and Webster Village that owns the property. Anyone who is interested in getting involved with the handicapped amenities or maintaining the park can contact the WebVWHU 9LOODJH 2IĂ&#x20AC;FH 0RUH LQIRUPDWLRQ DERXW WKH GRJ SDUN can be found on the Webster Village website at websterwisconsin.com.

The Bremer Foundation must also feel the idea has possibilities because a $55,000 Bremer grant was awarded to DSI to add handicapped-accessible amenities to the location outside the fenced-in areas.

The general fund ended the year with a fund balance increase of $3,900, with annual expenditures of $664,000.

Within the fund balance is $61,000 that is assigned for VSHFLĂ&#x20AC;F SXUSRVHV DQG WKDW LV XQDVVLJQHG Geyen noted that the unassigned fund balance is nearly 48 percent of annual expenditures, which is a healthy ratio. The general rule of thumb, he said, is no less than 33 percent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to caution you,â&#x20AC;? he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The 43 percent doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean there is an excess.â&#x20AC;?

In addition to the general fund, the audit report includes special revenue funds capital projects funds, and the enterprise funds of water utility, sewer utility and golf course.

Special revenue funds include the library fund and the library/museum maintenance fund, the police squad fund, the machinery outlay fund, the cemetery fund and the revolving loan fund for housing improvements. This fund balance increased by $50,000, from $170,900 at the end of 2011 to $221,300 at the end of 2012.

Capital project funds are tax incremental districts 2 and 3, both of which are now earning tax revenue. Fund

In addition, a rate increase goes into effect with the secondquarter bill, which ends this month and will show up on the next bill.

The sewer utility, however, lost $32,174 in 2012, an increase of $5,000 over 2011 but about half the loss of the two years previous to that. In addition, said Geyen, the investment in capital assets decreased by $45,000.

The golf course ended the year on a good note, Geyen reported, with only $857 more in revenue than in 2011 but a reduction in expenses of $8,500. Plus, he said, a private party donation of $122,000 left the course with a net income of $97,768.

The villageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long-term debt decreased by about $210,000, due in large part to payment of $100,000 on general obligation notes and an $80,000 reduction in emSOR\HH YDFDWLRQ DQG VLFN EHQHĂ&#x20AC;WV 7KH EHQHĂ&#x20AC;W REOLJDWLRQ at the end of 2011 was $105,200, compared with $23,100 at the end of 2012. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The audit results were very positive,â&#x20AC;? concluded Geyen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The village of Luck seems to be in a very strong Ă&#x20AC;QDQFLDO SRVLWLRQ Âľ

DNR wildlife supervisor Mike Zeckmeister noted, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The concern is that we think that the bear may have imprinted on humans and there was food there, and that was the root cause of the attack.â&#x20AC;?

As the Leader went to press, Randy and Pam reported that they saw the bear Tuesday evening, a sow with two cubs.

In either case, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll end up in the hospitalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; emergency rooms, unable to pay for care. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a problem for the hospitals.

Ellis, R-Neenah, pounded his gavel so hard he smashed its base.

Fast-forward to this week, and the mood in the Senate chamber was much more civil, cooperative and focused.

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s keep it that way.

With a big bipartisan vote of 29-3, the Senate approved an investment capital bill Tuesday to help small businesses with big ideas.

The Senate also voted 32-0 for a stronger board and more accountability at the Wisconsin Economic Development Corp., the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s embattled and clumsy economic development agency.

The venture capital bill was four years in the making and required lots of compromise.

The result is far from perfect: A relatively small $25 million state fund limited to certain industries. But that $25 million will leverage more than two times that amount from private venture capitalists.

So itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good start.

As Sen. Alberta Darling, R-River Hills, a lead sponsor of the bill with Cullen, noted Tuesday: The Legislature can always commit more money to the effort if it shows success.

Wisconsin ranks high for university research and patents. But many young, innovative companies lack the private dollars they need to expand.

Britainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Guardian newspaper has reported that the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court approved a court order that allowed review of Verizon data on all telephone calls since April 25. This covers millions of Americans, including those not suspected of committing any crimes.

Sensenbrenner says the NSA went too far. â&#x20AC;&#x153;... Seizing phone records of millions of innocent people is excessive and un-American.â&#x20AC;?

Sensenbrenner is an essential player here. He knows the details of the laws and the original intent.

WPCA radio turns 10

Ameryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s low-power FM fights the norm ... and parties down

by Greg Marsten Leader staff writer AMERY â&#x20AC;&#x201C; It was just over three years ago that local headlines warned of the possible demise of WPCA radio in Amery, after an old bank note was bought by a Ă&#x20AC;QDQFLDO LQVWLWXWLRQ WKDW UHTXLUHG QHDUO\ immediate repayment.

That news led to a fundraising effort for the little community radio station, like few others, as donors stepped up to the plate and helped cover the outstanding note as the station fought for itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life, which it has seemed to do pretty well since going live in 2003 as the brainchild of broadcasting veteran Bob Zank.

That they are still on the air is a reason to celebrate, and the station staff and volunteers held a birthday party of sorts, on Friday, June 14, with ice cream, games, live broadcasts from outside and special guests. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great to see the support continue,â&#x20AC;?

Zank said from the ever-improving studio at the little station on Riverside Boulevard beside the Apple River in downtown Amery.

The stationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s LPFM license is a veritable rarity and is a benefactor of a 2000 Federal Commission System licensing program meant to allow locally based, true community broadcasting in a time when radio has been enveloped by broad corporate media interests with the FCCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s licensing limits for corporate interests in 1996.

That 1996 act removed caps on radio ownership and is generally seen as the beginning of the decline in locally produced radio programming.

He has long warned of the obvious trend of local radio stations becoming little more than relays for corporate broadcasting efforts, often based nearly a continent away on satellite-based networks with little or no local content.

He cites former FCC Chairman Newton Minowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s warning of media becoming a â&#x20AC;&#x153;vast wastelandâ&#x20AC;? of content, which the LPFM program was meant to offset.

Zank is proud of the WPCA operation, with the call letters literally standing for Wisconsin Polk County Amery, and with the advent of live streaming on the Inter-

net, their audience has grown far beyond their low-wattage transmitting ability.

Zank points out a live-streaming computer that broadcasts to the world in two modes, allows even old-school dial-up customers in foreign nations a chance to follow local Polk County events, broadcasts and features. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There it is, worldwide!â&#x20AC;? he said, pointing to the bouncing bar graph needles on D Ă DW VFUHHQ LQ WKH VHFRQGDU\ VWXGLR But WPCAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history is much like that bouncing pair of gauges, as their LPFM status makes them the â&#x20AC;&#x153;little dogâ&#x20AC;? of the pack. Because of that status, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already had to bow to a local commercial operationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan to expand operations, trumping WPCAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license, which forced them to change their frequency in recent years from their original 95.7 to their current 93.1.

The WPCA history has several great stories along the way, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to top the effort given three years ago. When faced with the pending bank note payoff, Zank noted the donation of a local, visually impaired man who walked to the station alone, feeling around the concrete EORFN VWUXFWXUH ZLWK KLV FDQH WR Ă&#x20AC;QG WKH front door and deliver a check for $500. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was amazingly touching and really something to see,â&#x20AC;?

While the road has been rocky at times, the event on Friday was a celebration of the past and the future, and allowed the usually stoic Zank to relax and enjoy the rewards a bit.

Rumor is he even loosened up his tie that afternoon.

Economic impact, marketing and importance to economy are subjects of presentationÂ

by Greg Marsten Leader staff writer BALSAM LAKE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; With a rare light agenda for their regular monthly meeting on Tuesday, June 18, the Polk County Board of Supervisors entertained a presentation on the importance and impact of tourism by state regional tourism representative Drew Nussbaum, who outlined the value to taxpayers as well as the importance to the local economy as he showed how the state spends money SURPRWLQJ WRXULVP RI DOO Ă DYRUV â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very serious about where we put our resources,â&#x20AC;? Nussbaum said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To be honest, the competition is hammering us.â&#x20AC;?

He explained that neighboring states have expanded their marketing efforts to draw tourists, and they often outspend Wisconsin by many times. Nussbaum said the Wisconsin Department of Tourism has changed their focus, trying to get a larger impact with the money they do spend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done away with slogans,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re (realizing) we have a reputation of being a fun place to go.â&#x20AC;?

Nussbaum gave a few previews on upcoming, multiple-season ad campaigns meant to draw tourists from other regional states, one of which was created by the famous movie production team of David and Jerry Zucker, the duo who created the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Airplaneâ&#x20AC;? satiric comedies.

They are now behind a recent comedic, slapstick-inspired ad featuring â&#x20AC;&#x153;Airplaneâ&#x20AC;? star Robert Hays. The ad has been praised for its comedic value and impact by the news and lifestyle website The +XIĂ&#x20AC;QJWRQ 3RVW ZKLFK FDOOHG LW WKH EHVW state tourism ad of its kind. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t buy that kind of advertising,â&#x20AC;?

Crossroads Church to build church building

by Sherill Summer Leader staff writer SCOTT TOWNSHIP - A third church will join the Catholic and Lutheran churches on Crescent Lake on CTH H, north of A and H. Crossroads Christian Church is building a church there this summer. A ground-breaking celebration was held on Sunday, June 9.

Currently, the nondenominational congregation meets in the building across CTH A from the U.S. Bank at A and H. The building has a couple of drawbacks.

7KH Ă&#x20AC;UVW LV WKDW WKH FRQJUHJDWLRQ KDV RXWgrown the space - again. They also outJUHZ WKHLU Ă&#x20AC;UVW ORFDWLRQ VRRQ DIWHU EHLQJ planted two years ago by Cornerstone Church in Spooner.

The second drawback is that the congregation rents the building that is for sale. The building almost sold last fall and that became the catalyst to build a church, says Crossroads Pastor Tryg Wistad, because there really wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t another building in the area that would suit their needs.

Generally, a young congregation does not have the means to build a church so soon, but things have fallen into place for Crossroads from the beginning.

Seven weeks after forming, they purchased the land they are now building a church on. Wistad explains that they did not plan to buy land; it just happened, and it was paid for, in full, the day it was purchased with $2 to spare.

Then a building contractor started attending the church on a seasonal basis.

He is now building the church building on terms a young congregation can afford. He is waiving contractor fees and is donating the labor.

The ground-breaking celebration was held inside on June 9 because it rained much of the day. But, if weather cooperates, the building - at least a shell of a building - could be up by midsummer.

The way things are going, the congregation has a reason to be optimistic. As Ned Berube, founder of Cornerstone Church in Spooner, said, this church is alive and well and a gift from God. Crossroads Christian Church is a nondenominational church loosely organized under the Alliance for Renewal umbrella.

Wistadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife, Charmaine, describes the congregation as evangelical, casual and friendly.

Services are held on Sundays at 10 a.m.

Wood River Town Board tables action on Burnett Dairy beer license application

by Priscilla Bauer Leader staff writer ALPHA â&#x20AC;&#x201C; No one will be buying beer at Burnett Dairyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hardware store anytime soon with the Wood River Town Board voting to table the co-opâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Class A beverage license application pending obtaining a legal opinion on the matter.

This was the third attempt by the Alpha cooperative to obtain a license to VHOO EHHU 7KH Ă&#x20AC;UVW DSSOLFDWLRQ ZDV GHQLHG by the board due to public opposition to granting the license, while the second was turned down when the dairyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appointed DJHQW IDLOHG WR PHHW WKH TXDOLĂ&#x20AC;FDWLRQV DV set in state statutes.

The lengthy public discussion and subsequent tabling by the board of the dairyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s application came at the beginning of the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wednesday, June 12, meeting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Public opinion is not reason alone to deny the application,â&#x20AC;? board member Dale Halverson told those in attendance voicing opposition to issuing the license.

Halverson explained the board had three options: to deny the application for a valid reason, to accept it or to get an opinion on the matter from a lawyer specializing in municipal law.

Town Chair Dawn Luke said if there was a violation of the state statutes, the license could be denied. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Public safety is the only requirement,â&#x20AC;&#x153; added Luke. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Was there a petition?â&#x20AC;? asked Burnett County Board member Chuck Awe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was an opinion sheet, not a referendum,â&#x20AC;? said Halverson.

Dowlingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s remarks caused several people at the meeting to question the dairyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business model. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What about the local people and providing services for them?â&#x20AC;? Dowling was asked by another Wood River town resident who referred to the closure of the dairyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tire shop. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we have a losing proposition at some SRLQW ZH FDQ¡W UXQ DW VLJQLĂ&#x20AC;FDQW ORVVHV Âľ answered Dowling. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The tire shop had too high losses.

We would be just one more business in the area selling beer, said Dowling, citing the Holiday store in Grantsburg as an example. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This a free-market society.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We all have the right to choose where we shop,â&#x20AC;? said Luke. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone has a choice.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It sounds like greed to me,â&#x20AC;? quipped $ZH ´<RX¡UH D ELJ Ă&#x20AC;VK LQ D OLWWOH SRQG Âľ â&#x20AC;&#x153;We arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t trying to put anyone out of business,â&#x20AC;?

Another man recalled how the feed mill near Menominee where he grew up closed when the co-op began buying convenience stores.

Chuck Swenson, who lives just up the road from the dairy, commented he had spent a lot of money over the years at the

number of licenses the town could issue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is only a limit as to the number of bars, â&#x20AC;&#x153; replied Luke. â&#x20AC;&#x153;How is this license different from the one the dairy already has for wine at the cheese store?â&#x20AC;? posed another in attendance.

Luke explained they are two separate licenses, Class A for beer and Class B for alcoholic beverages.

Dairy CEO Dan Dowling was then asked the reasoning behind wanting to sell beer at the hardware store. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the end of the day, we want to bring value back to our patrons,â&#x20AC;? said Dowling. ´:H JHW WUHPHQGRXV WUDIĂ&#x20AC;F IURP RXW RI towners.

Another Alpha resident, Lee Roberts, agreed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Services farmers can get from the dairy are diminishing.â&#x20AC;?

Halverson then made a motion tabling the application until the first regular meeting after the board had received and reviewed the legal opinion requested.

The motion passed by unanimous vote.

The board voted to renew the dairyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license to sell wine at the cheese store.

Burnett County trailing behind other counties in tourism spending

Yet, despite the increase in summer visitors, Burnett County is trailing behind surrounding counties when it comes to tourism dollars and ranks lower than most counties in the state.

According to Mike Kornmann, tourist dollar spending in the county was down 2.99 percent in 2012, from 2011, with Burnett County ranking 61 out of 72 counties in visitor expenditures.

Kornmann also reported the counties bordering Burnett are putting considerably more funds into marketing their areas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our neighboring counties are being

aggressive and spending more in marketing dollars,â&#x20AC;? Kornmann told the committee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a concern on my end,â&#x20AC;? said Kornmann, who is responsible for Burnett Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tourism marketing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am exploring ways of spending the money I have.â&#x20AC;?

When asked by a committee member if there is one attraction or activity in the county that should be promoted more than others to attract visitors, Kornmann replied Burnett County is a very diverse county when it comes to activities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a little bit of everything.â&#x20AC;?

Kornmann did have some good news to report on the tourism-marketing front.

Burnett, along with Douglas, Barron, and Washburn counties, will be included in an episode on ATVing on the popular â&#x20AC;&#x153;Discover Wisconsinâ&#x20AC;? television program.

Burnett Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s share of the cost to be part of the program is $10,000, which will come out of the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tourism department budget.

Programs air on Fox Sports Midwest stations and local assess stations in North and South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois and Indiana.

In addition to the exposure Burnett County will get via the television segment all across the Midwest, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Discover Wisconsinâ&#x20AC;? has a radio program where the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s events will be posted and the segment will be also be available for use on the county website.

With regard to the county website, Kornmann reported to the committee it was time to update the site and asked to the committee their thoughts as a timetable for revamping the website. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are at the 10-year mark. Do we

move forward?â&#x20AC;? asked Kornmann.

Kornmann told the committee the Burnett County Development Association initiated development of the site and has funding available to help with the update which would cost between $12,000 and $15,000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to move forward with it,â&#x20AC;? said natural resources committee Chair Ed Peterson. The committee agreed, giving Kornmann approval to contact Civic Plus, the company that developed the site, to beginning the facelift.

Kornmann will also contact the BCDA as to the funding the group will provide for the site makeover.

In his continuing efforts to promote the county, Kornmann has also developed a county photo contest.

Kornmann reported he is collaborating with the Inter-County Leader newspaper to promote the contest and feature the photos. The contest photos will also be used on the county website to highlight areas of interest for visitors.

New middle and elementary school principals at Grantsburg Schools

by Priscilla Bauer Leader staff writer GRANTSBURG â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Grantsburg School Board approved two new principals for the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s middle and elementary schools at their Monday, June 17, meeting.

Though he will be new to the job of middle school principal, Bill Morrin is by no means new to the district.

Morrin came to Grantsburg in 1985 and has worked at GHS for 28 years, primarily as the high school physical education teacher and head girls varsity volleyball coach.

For the past several years, Morrin has served in the position of GHS dean of students where his duties included attendance, discipline, staff evaluation and supervision.

Morrin holds a masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in educational administration and a Bachelor of Science degree for K-12 physical education. In 2010, Morrin won the National High School Coach of the Year award and has led his volleyball teams to four state championship victories, 15 state appearDQFHV Ă&#x20AC;YH VWDWH UXQQHU XS DZDUGV DQG consecutive conference championships.

Unlike Morrin, the new elementary principal pick, Jon Dallmann, is a new face to the district. Dallmann comes to Grantsburg from the Crandon School District where he held a number of leadership positions including serving as substitute principal in the middle and elementary schools.

Dallmann holds Master of Arts degrees in educational leadership, technology, as well as a bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in elementary education.

Outgoing elementary school Principal Katie Coppenbarger said she had already met with Dallmann and felt he would be a JUHDW Ă&#x20AC;W IRU WKH HOHPHQWDU\ VFKRRO Just prior to Coppenbargerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s remarks, the board approved her resignation with thanks and regrets.

The board also approved contracts for several other teaching positions including, Mike Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Donnell for an 80-percent speech position, Andy Richardson as fulltime physical education instructor at GES and Nelson Schools and also head crosscountry coach.

Burgin credited Beesley and his staff for the great rapport they had developed with the students given the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s management changes over the past years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The really cool part was the majority of these kids have been with the school through all the transitions,â&#x20AC;? added Burgin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was really rewarding seeing them go across the stage and all wearing purple, too.â&#x20AC;?

The board members also received a short training on the use of their new iPads from district tech coordinator Jesse Byers. The board will begin the process of going paperless for meeting agendas and materials beginning in July.

Keeping kids Ă&#x17E;shinĂ&#x2022; and tellinĂ&#x2022; those stories DEER LAKE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; For the past 10 years, Deer Lake in Polk County has played host to an average of 100-plus youth ranging in age from 1 to 17 on a Saturday in the month of June. On nearly every one of those years, the weather has been nearly perfect, and smiles are overabundant throughout the day.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to wipe the smiles from peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s faces as they prepare to launch in the morning, with every youth hoping to land the big one, or simply create another memory with friends and family. %\ WKH QRRQ KRXU QHWV Ă&#x20AC;OOHG ZLWK Ă&#x20AC;VK DUH brought in and weighed, while bellies are Ă&#x20AC;OOHG ZLWK IUHH KRW GRJV SRS DQG FRRNLHV or cake.

by Marty Seeger Leader staff writer LEADER LAND â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Despite such a short spring baseball season it certainly made for an interesting game schedule, where no win was guaranteed.

With the addition of Turtle Lake/Clayton, Cameron and Shell Lake to an already competitive West Lakeland Conference, every game was an important one, especially

be a long wait before playoff baseball happens again, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always worth the wait.

This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s All-Leader baseball team features 16 seniors, and every one of them will be missed by fans, coaches and teammates, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think this conference wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be as competitive next year as it was this season.

Water tower/from page 1 laxing, polygon-shaped park in its sullen shadow, with picnic benches, dozens of towering shade tress and a perch atop town that hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t changed much in the century since.

Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birthday party included a strange visitor: a similar vintage Twin City Tractor, one of the towerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s later â&#x20AC;&#x153;cousins,â&#x20AC;? you could say.

Seems the old Frederic landmark is of the same respected lineage as elite tractor and implement designs. According to Johnson, the water tower was built by the Minneapolis Steel and Machinery Company, which also built tractors. The visiting Twin City Tractor of Jim and Barb Anderson of Cushing looked right at home, in its traditional Battleship Gray of the vintage, pretty close to the towerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tint.

7KH $QGHUVRQV HYHQ Ă&#x20AC;UHG WKH 7& EHDVW XS twice, in a lumpy celebration song.

The water towerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lineage goes back even further than a century, to 1902, when MS & MC was formed to create structural steel for water towers, bridges, mills and more for the whole region around the 7ZLQ &LWLHV 7KH Ă&#x20AC;UP ZDV DOVR FRQWUDFWHG to engineer and manufacturer engines for several businesses. MS & MC later merged with Minneapolis Threshing Machine and Moline Power Equipment Company to become the famous Minneapolis-Moline, of vintage tractor fame and later still, White Tractors in 1963.

But the tower itself was the subject of the party, and as the outgoing 2012 Frederic royalty helped serve the cake, guess also had a chance to view several bits of the collisions with history, involving the tower.

On display was a unique piece of art, showing the tower and its serene little park as the subject of an early 1960s painting by a later semirenowned landscape artist, and 1955 Frederic graduate, Murray

Palmerton.

Johnson noted that Palmerton passed away in 1998, but his family knew him well, and saved the water tower painting, which is now on loan to the Frederic Historical Society. The painting is actually a relief, using thick media to achieve dramatic layering, showing a depth that is hard to capture in photos.

But the height of the tower is also hard to capture, and because it is at the highest point in the village, a common engineering practice of the day to utilize gravity, atop its network of catwalks, ladders and steel trusses, it is also likely to be one of the highest points in the county. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has some issues,â&#x20AC;? Johnson admitted, noting that while it has a solid seal and interior coating that is not very old, some other issues on top mean it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t being used anymore. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The other water tower to the south can handle the demands.â&#x20AC;?

Of course, the towerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s little birthday party was capped with a historic climb to its peak by another Frederic graduate, Anthony Puetz, who recreated a similar feat from a century earlier, even mugging for the camera on the very top, just as in a 1913 photo. Puetz even took some panoramic photos of the area and crowd below.

Fredericâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water tower was of an important era, and Johnson noted there were several notable events the year it was â&#x20AC;&#x153;born.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;In 1913 the Panama Canal had just RSHQHG DQG WKH Ă&#x20AC;UVW HYHU )UHGHULF +LJK School football game took place,â&#x20AC;?

Coincidence? Maybe.

But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good bet that 1913 team was probably well-hydrated.

hey met me, one after the other, all dressed in black. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on? Did I miss a memo?â&#x20AC;?

My women friends from the university were meeting me Carrie Classon at an Irish restaurant and had, apparently without prearrangement, all decided to wear black and white. I was dressed in orange from head to toe.

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wear black anymore. I used to wear a lot of black. Black is very practical. I wore it to business meetings when I was in business. I traveled in it when I traveled. I had black suits and black slacks and black shoes and a black briefcase. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any of the above anymore. Now I am a graduate student and wear bright orange clothing that I buy at the used clothing store and zip around town on a moped. Habits change.

Since the start of this month, I have been diligently working to establish a new habit. I have never run in the morning. I have been an on-again, off-again runner for years, mostly off-again since moving to the Southwest because it is hot for much of the year.

7KDW LV WKH H[FXVH , KDYH EHHQ XVLQJ 7KH WLPH WR run here is in the morning. There is a wonderful window of opportunity just as the sun is rising. The cool air settles in the desert at night and is still hugging the ground in the morning until the sun rises over the PRXQWDLQV 7KH VXPPHU Ă RZHUV DUH IUDJUDQW DQG WKH air is refreshing.

This is when I like to sleep.

But, back in the Midwest and chatting with my friend Andy, we formed a pact and I said I would run every morning for 30 days while he walked every day. He also planned to give up a variety of high-calorie foods and, in solidarity, I said I would give up fried foods and alcohol. I have no idea what I was thinking.

Running in the morning is terrible. The very idea of putting on running shoes when I am still in bed seems almost obscene. Milo was very excited by this new URXWLQH IRU WKH Ă&#x20AC;UVW WKUHH GD\V then even he stayed in his bed until I stood, leash in hand, and

So we ran.

After a week I checked in with Andy. He said he was walking every day it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rain. He mentioned that it had been raining a lot.

I met my women friends dressed in black and told them that I would not be joining them for an Irish cider. I explained my pact with Andy and about all the rain in the Midwest. They suggested that I abstain from drinking every day it rained here in the desert. I liked that idea; but I had an iced tea and got up again the next morning.

I realized that it had happened: something that seemed impossible and utterly not who I was had become something that I now did, if not with pleasure, without complaint and without a great deal of thought. I had formed a new habit. This morning I got up before my alarm. Shoes on, out the door, Milo jogged happily at my side. I realized that I liked this new habit and would likely continue for the foreseeable future. I liked this new Carrie, running with the rising sun.

But on July 1, I plan to have a big glass of wine.

My wife, like most women, probably believes that I forget holidays and birthdays but I really donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t and I discovered something to prove how thoughtful I am, or was. There on the bottom of the drawer, tucked in the back, was a Christmas card to my wife, unsigned. It was clear that I thought about her and clearly intended to give her a card and a gift that year.

By my recollection this must have been six or seven years ago. Anyway the card was still good so I tucked it back in place with the intention of being on top of things this Christmas season.

Behind the card was a small package discreetly placed in the corner of the drawer where it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be discovered by anyone. Opening it carefully I found two silver earrings with inset opals also destined for my bride. I sat for a moment wondering when and where I had bought these. Using my past forgetfulness to my advantage I presented the belated gift to my wife and I gained three extra â&#x20AC;&#x153;good boyâ&#x20AC;? points that day. , QHYHU GLG Ă&#x20AC;QG ZKDW , ZDV ORRNLQJ IRU LQ GUDZHU number No. 1 but we have an anniversary coming up soon so I am going to spend some time cleaning out GUDZHU 1R , MXVW PLJKW Ă&#x20AC;QG DQRWKHU XQXVHG FDUG and gift in the back.

When I got there, she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look good. Her whole face was red and swollen, angry bumps welled up around her eyes, neck and ears. She was obviously uncomfortable, struggling not to scratch.

Her lips looked a little blue, and she had a cough she hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had earlier. Wires connected her to a monitor that tracked her vital signs: a green line blipped across a black screen.

My younger daughter, who had seen the whole thing develop had an alert waitand-see expression.

It was then that I noticed that my wife was talking to me, something about din-

was wrong.

The rest of the day I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t talk to him or see him. I decided, instead of having a pity party for myself, I would create my own Valentine fun. So I bought chocolate â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a lot of it. I bought a cheap movie, some nail polish, and possibly some more chocolate. I rounded up my single roommates and we had a girls night. Around the middle of the movie, P\ Ă&#x20AC;DQFp VHQW PH D WH[W ´:KDW DUH \RX doing?â&#x20AC;? After a few minutes I decided to reply. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m celebrating Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day with my date.â&#x20AC;? I received a quick reply, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your date?â&#x20AC;?

I chose to open more Dove chocolate rather than reply to him. I was enjoying P\ FKHHV\ FKLFN Ă LFN DQG P\ IUHVKO\ painted nails too much to talk to him, so I thought Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d let him suffer just a few PLQXWHV ORQJHU $IWHU WKH PRYLH ZDV Ă&#x20AC;QLVKHG , Ă&#x20AC;QDOO\ VHQW KLP D WH[W EDFN ´2K it was nothing â&#x20AC;Ś but maybe we should talk.â&#x20AC;? A few minutes later, in he walked looking like a dog with its tail between its legs.

So I let him have it, in a nice way of course. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t shout or raise my voice, I just let him know that maybe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a JRRG LGHD WR JHW \RXU VLJQLĂ&#x20AC;FDQW RWKHU at least a little something for Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day or youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be in the doghouse for a

long time. After an apology and a few NLVVHV HYHU\WKLQJ ZDV Ă&#x20AC;QH A few days later, I received a dozen roses, a card with a porcupine on it that said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sorry for being so pricklyâ&#x20AC;? and a bag of chocolate. Except half the chocoODWH ZDV WKH Ă DYRUV , KDWH PLQW FUqPH DQG UDVSEHUU\ Ă&#x20AC;OOHG 6R , SLFNHG RXW WKH pieces I wanted and left the rest.

There are many different types of chocolate. Pity Chocolate is only great if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for yourself, because you get to pick out any kind you want and as much as you want. Guilty Chocolate treats usually end in some kind of exercise to balance out the overindulgence.

But Apology Chocolate is only good if the person who is saying sorry knows exactly what you like, otherwise they have to apologize all over again for not getting the kind you like. Fortunately thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Re-Gifted Chocolate. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the heart to tell him I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like that type of chocolate after a sincere apology so I left the bag in our kitchen for anybody to eat.

ner tonight, and a backpack and homework. It took every ounce of my energy to shift my attention to what my wife was saying. Though she was the only one in the room talking, and they were the most simple of instructions, I had to ask her to repeat them. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d missed them completely. I had literally not heard her.

The point Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m trying to make here is that during moments of intense focus, we often become blind and deaf â&#x20AC;&#x201C; completely missing information that would otherwise be obvious. No experiment illustrates this phenomenon better than â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Monkey Business Illusion.â&#x20AC;? Do a TXLFN VHDUFK RQ <RX7XEH WR ZDWFK WKH video yourself. Spoiler alert: Do this before reading further for the full effect.

The video shows a now famous experiment conducted by Daniel Simons in which you are asked to pay very close attention to the number of times a basketball is passed between moving members of one team while another team weaves and passes another ball within the same space. Tracking and counting the passes of one ball and one team, while ignoring the other, is tough.

So tough in fact, that 50 percent of viewers completely miss the guy in the gorilla suit who walks on screen, stops in the middle of the players, beats his chest

and then walks off. I am not making this up. If you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen the video yet, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ruined for you now, but do your own experiment and show your friends and IDPLO\ <RX¡OO EH DPD]HG But is it really that strange? When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in a car with someone as they pass a truck on a narrow road, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you stop talking? Sure, you know that distracting the driver might be dangerous, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a part of you that also knows that the driver is probably deaf to you then anyway.

So what does this have to do with teaching and learning? Everyone has a limited capacity of attention. Intense focus on a task can quite literally make people blind and deaf to other stimuli.

Good teachers understand this and allow for uninterrupted periods of focus and limit the number of tasks assigned at one time. Good learners understand that multitasking is not all that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cracked up to be, and they manage and prioritize ZRUN PDNLQJ FRQVFLRXV HIĂ&#x20AC;FLHQW GHFLsions about which tasks to tackle and when.

Hi everyone, I was awakened at 12:30 a.m. by the bear that, once again, is tearing down the feeders. We put the feeders on the same tree that has about a half-dozen wind chimes. I am not sure if this is a good idea. I think if there is a bear outside at night, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really want to know about it, but the chimes wake me up. During the day, that is a different deal. I love watching the mama and three little ones that follow her around.

The three cubs were having the best time in the Japanese lilac tree we have right in front of our walkway. I got some pictures through the glass on the front door. If I had opened the door, P\ OLWWOH <RUNLH 6SLNH ZRXOG KDYH taken off right for the mom. Not a good WKLQJ +H DW SRXQGV LV RXU YLFLRXV DWtack dog and he would want to protect us from the big bear and play with the little cubs. We all know that is not the way things work. Keeping him inside might be one of the smartest things I have done recently.

Speaking of smart things, I am so proud of myself. During the 23 years we have lived in this house, the walls KDYH DOO EHHQ ZKLWH , KDYH Ă&#x20AC;QDOO\ KDG some of the rooms painted. The colors are teal, tan, robinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s-egg blue and sea-foam green. There are also two walls in one room that are the color of butterscotch pudding. Sounds interesting, doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it. When Denny walked in he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exactly what I expected.â&#x20AC;? Having our rooms painted was not what I expected either. This is an anniversary present from Denny. I wanted a face-lift. I am afraid the facelift will have to wait until next year. I do like the colors, though. Kind of daring and I am seldom daring. This is a big move out of my comfort zone.

If there is anyone who does not think this is a terrible year for ticks, they must never leave home. We live in the woods

I am going to miss all of the familiar faces we see every year. I think the Blodgett family might have a sale. I am in a downsizing mood and I have a lot of downsizing to do. I had no idea how much until Lori, our painter, told me she took 30 nails out of our bathroom walls. I had that many things hanging on the wall and probably twice that many on the walls in the bedroom. <LNHV , WKLQN , KXQJ HYHU\ SLFWXUH ZH ever got of our grandchildren and greatgrandchildren. Although I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t intend to put the pictures in a sale, they will go into an album and the frames will go to the sale.

Interfaith has been doing housecleaning for years for some of the wonderful SHRSOH LQ %XUQHWW &RXQW\ , DP Ă&#x20AC;QGLQJ that I have to scale back on the number of times someone will be able to do the cleaning.

Anyone who wants to volunteer to do either is more than welcome. I did have a lady and her sister offer to clean, but the phone number I have does not work.

Cell phones are great and I really donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what we did without them, but the numbers are not in the phone book, and people who use only cell phones are often hard to reach. Besides that, I often invert numbers so I always try to repeat a number someone gives me.

Again, if anyone wants to volunteer, I will greet you with open arms and cookies.

Someone to drive is another need, not necessarily on a regular basis but occasionally when neither Denny nor I can do it. I do have some wonderful volunteers, but we are all busy and I would love to have a longer list of possible drivers. Drivers are needed for short trips for shopping, to the bank, doctor appointments or maybe a beauty salon. If someone needs to go farther than 30 miles, I will try to do the driving myself. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really expect people to drive long distances with the price of gas as it is.

We have some wonderful volunteers to work on the Heat a Home project. As I have said before, just watching people cut, split and stack wood makes my back hurt. Never could I do the work, but we are so grateful that there are those who will give their time to help us out. Denny still works full time and getting the wood here to be processed, cut, split, stacked and delivered takes about every spare moment he has. I also have a list of things he has to do with his â&#x20AC;&#x153;spareâ&#x20AC;? time. My list gets longer, but WKH ZRRG JHWV GRQH Ă&#x20AC;UVW 7KHUH ZLOO EH some people with warm homes next winter because of Heat a Home. We re-

My grandson and son did it so I have bragging rights.

Oops, I have overstayed my welcome again. Once I get started, it is hard to stop me. Which reminds me, if you know someone who wants to hear about Interfaith Caregivers, we are available for speaking engagements.

Scrambled rambles and a â&#x20AC;&#x153;sean nuaâ&#x20AC;? ome repeat events, an interactive nature proS gram, and a huge music festival - all within the next little while, are scheduled for Forts Folle Avoine

Since that meeting some decades back, Sutter and MacKenzie have been in and out of several bands with various instrument and vocal combos, but built DURXQG WKH ROG ,ULVK DQG 6FRWWLVK VRXQGV DOWKRXJK Sutter is very adept at American and Scandinavian WXQHV DV ZHOO ´0\ IDYRULWH QDPH IRU RQH RI RXU groups,â&#x20AC;? he explains, â&#x20AC;&#x153;was called Peat Moss and the Turf Briquettes.â&#x20AC;?

Peat Moss and the Turf Briquettes was but one stop in a long trek through the melodic, tuneful landscape of Irish and Scottish traditional music. That journey has involved song-collecting gigs in the British Isles, but the best sources, according to Sutter, often travel over here. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a passionate network of singers and players who touch base wherever they can. As Sutter explains, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I met many world-class musicians as they toured over here and this eventually led me to study with esteemed vocalist Jean Redpath in Scotland.

Through that activity I met several others, toured around festivals over there, hearing and learning from GR]HQV RI IRONV ZKR¡YH KDG D ODVWLQJ LQĂ XHQFH RQ P\ approach and performance of the tunes. I heard singers who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have particularly great voices sing old ballads in ways that I remember to this day. One guy even took his teeth out when he sang so he would sound like an old-source singer. I also met the Stewarts RI %ODLU D IDPLO\ RI WUDYHOLQJ SHRSOH J\SVLHV DQG WLQNHUV ZKR VDQJ ZLWK JUHDW KHDUW DQG VRXO 6RPHWKLQJ clicked for me when I heard all of these various singers and I knew I wanted to keep doing this music.â&#x20AC;?

And keep on he has, forming a Minnesota group called simply the Traditional Singers Folk Club, which built up his contacts locally as well as help bring over more to this side of the pond. As Sutter recalls, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford to travel to Ireland and Scotland that often so this proved to be a way to learn from the best during their visits here.â&#x20AC;? In this way a direct connection is maintained, which contributes mightily to the strong presence and popularity of sometimes ancient music being transformed in the best sean nua fashion, SHUVRQ WR SHUVRQ VRQJ E\ VRQJ :KDW FRXOG Ă&#x20AC;W EHWWHU for a historical site? $VNHG DERXW WKHLU SODQV IRU WKHLU <HOORZ 5LYHU )RON Festival gig, Sutter mused, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are best known for our YRFDOV DV ZHOO DV /DXUD¡V DPD]LQJ DELOLW\ DQG ZRUOG UHQRZQ RQ VR PDQ\ GLIIHUHQW ZLQG LQVWUXPHQWV , ORYH OLVWHQLQJ WR EDJSLSHV DQG Ă XWHV DQG LW LV RQH RI P\ greatest pleasures to sit onstage, listening to Lauraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interpretations while I accompany her. And when Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m singing solo I relish hearing what she does accompanying me on various wind instruments. She doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just jam along, she really works to come up with a meaningful accompaniment that fully complements what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m doing.â&#x20AC;? This weave and blend, sometimes spontaneous, is what makes Irish and Scottish music stand out. Sutter also displays a close connection with kids, an element heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also be displaying during some VSHFLDO FKLOGUHQ¡V VHVVLRQV KH¡OO SHUIRUP DW WKH <HOORZ River Folk Music Festival. As he explains with delight, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been singing with kids for over 30 years and I have a wide repertoire of songs and games that I include in a performance. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not always sure where Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll go with the material, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always kid-focused and fun.â&#x20AC;?

While the future for traditional music looks bright, Sutter admits itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s harder than ever to make any semblance of a living performing. He notes, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been doing this over 30 years now, and the payâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s harder to come by all the time ... all the new technologies out there make it even more challenging than Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like.â&#x20AC;?

What he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mention is the key, though â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the plain love for the music itself, which will be readily apparent at the festival on July 6, and which still drives the music. Basic, bold, given to tradition but open to new approaches, too. Remember sean nua?

Meanwhile, the other events, as noted, will complement the regular tours of the historic trading post/ Indian village site, which are available Wednesdays - Sundays weekly. The Harris Palmer Library is open, per usual, on Wednesdays. More information on Forts Folle Avoine Historical Park is available by dialing 715-866-8890 or visiting their website: theforts.org.

New Spooner ReStore to open this fall

by Jackie Thorwick Special to the Leader ST. CROIX FALLS - At a meeting held Tuesday, May 28, in the St. Croix Falls ReStore, board members from Wild Rivers Habitat for Humanity met with those from Habitat for Humanity of Rusk and Washburn counties.

This merger is not the hostile takeover VRPHWLPHV VHHQ LQ WKH IRU SURĂ&#x20AC;W ZRUOG but a thoughtful decision from the leadership of the three organizations. A new board of directors was formed with representatives from each county. The group plans to hire several new staff members.

The merger is also expected to reduce costs by eliminating duplicated expenses.

Donations and volunteers from each county will continue to be essential to the success of the program. Donors will be able to designate in which county their gift will be used if they wish. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am so excited for this merger and the partnership that has developed,â&#x20AC;? said Mark Stensvold, former president of Rusk County Habitat for Humanity.â&#x20AC;&#x153; I know that this will allow us to serve more families in Rusk County than we could have ever done on our own.â&#x20AC;?

The information center is located in the new train station of the Wisconsin Great Northern Railroad, which has been providing family-oriented train rides since 1997, originally out of Spooner where Vreeland began his operation with two restored railroad cars, selling tickets off a card table.

Operations moved into a converted passenger car, then to a refurbished Railway Express Agency building in downtown Spooner. Now, with expanded services that include that nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only bed and breakfast on a moving vintage train, Vreeland has moved into a newly constructed depot.

tination a memorable one for Northwest Wisconsin visitors.â&#x20AC;? Vreeland encourages regional tourism-related business owners to drop off brochures, maps and guidebooks for visibility and distribution to the public.

Enter Jesus Christ, who not only forgives even the worst sinner, but who gives us the ability, desire and power to forgive.

June 23 is National Forgiveness Day, promoted by the Center of Awesome Love, an education center in Fremont, Ohio. They call forgiveness â&#x20AC;&#x153;a gift of healthâ&#x20AC;? that â&#x20AC;&#x153;sets us free to receive love, happiness, joy and peace.â&#x20AC;? Forgiveness is promoted not only by the Christian churches but by mental health workers.

They know that failure to forgive can lead to frustration, pent-up anger and bitterness which can result in all kinds of health issuesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;physical, mental and spiritual.
