ZONING ORDINANCE DRAFT RELEASED FOR REVIEW

A 1st draft of the updated Polk County Zoning Ordinance, including the former Comprehensive Ordinance and Shoreland Zoning Ordinance, is now available for public review at the Polk County website: www.co.polk.wi.us (click the link on the bottom right-hand side of the homepage), in the Land Information Office and by request to Tim Anderson, Polk County Planner at (715) 485-9225 or tim.anderson@co.polk.wi.us.

These ordinances regulate the uses available to landowners on their property in each district, as well as setbacks, height, and lot sizes. They also prevent incompatible land uses from existing next to each other and help protect your property rights. This revision is to modernize provisions that are in some cases over 40 years old and, as required by State law, update the shoreland zoning regulations and make all zoning consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Polk County adopted this plan in late 2009, and this draft is the result of a process began at that time.

Public participation was provided through a Citizen Advisory Committee, with the Town Comprehensive Plans and citizen surveys also providing valuable input into this process.

The Land Information Committee and County Board welcomes public input on this draft and online comment form is provided on the web page. Please use this form to submit comments on the draft. Updates on this process will happen frequently so please follow the same link on the Polk County homepage for these updates.

Baker was also an accomplished poet, as the compilation proves many times, such as in the 1976 poem she called â&#x20AC;&#x153;This Yearâ&#x20AC;?: Spring is a midget with an old face, in the middle of May. Dryness makes the hesitant grass look like August.

Pink orchard buds unfurl in the sun, chocking the air with the fragrance of their blooms.

Bakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s later musings are often deeply insightful and hard to ignore. In a 1993 journal entry, she waxes philosophical about the universe in a way that led to the title of the compilation.

I was number 13 in a party of couples. Even the dogs were in pairs of two. I had a wonderful time, but I will not deny that it was a little sad going off to my little tent alone, surrounded by happy pairs of two.

While I have friends who are very content living life alone, I freely confess that it frustrates me. I like having someone to talk to at odd hours. I crave the feeling of connection. While I understand that my end goal should be to love everyone, I seem to have a far easier time doing that if I can focus the bulk of my attention on a single person.

I remember that I started to cry as he told me the story because I could so clearly identify with the frustration that comes bubbling up when I cannot do a thing alone. It is hard to be rational with a table lodged on the landing. It is hard to feel like a complete or competent person. It is hard not to start wondering what I did in my life to have reached a point where there is no one to help me get that table down the stairs.

From scratch

I

donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t consider myself a chef. However, I love to believe I am. There is something about creating a recipe or a dish from scratch that makes you feel like Julia Child. If people love it and they praise you for it, there is a sense of great pride you feel in making your own personal creation.

Some of my favorite creations have been blackberry merlot sorbet, banana coconut sorbet, grilled halibut, fennel and lemon kabobs, roasted red pepper hummus, and peanut butter cup cheesecake. However, like every wanna-be chef, to get to a place where you have mastered chopping and knife skills, baking cakes without them caving in, and cooking anything without burning it or overcooking it, you have to go through a few failures.

Last week, I shared the marshmallow study. The key take-away: self-control is a big deal.

Holder of a masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in art education from the University of Minnesota - Mankato, she credits her â&#x20AC;&#x153;very creative and resourceful motherâ&#x20AC;? with steering her in that direction. And sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never looked back, EXLOGLQJ XS WZR OHJV RI D Ă RXULVKLQJ career as a teacher and painter. The latter talent will be readily apparent when guests are seated at Forts Folle Avoine Historical Parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ninth-annual garden tea. The elegant event, slated for the afternoon of Thursday, Aug. 22, will feature 24 tea settings, all highlighted by original pieces handpainted by Putzier.

Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s especially delighted to be an intimate part of an event such as the Forts Folle Avoine Garden Tea, which is an affair noted, she says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;by the happy smiles and chatter of the guests, the tasty, elegant and carefully planned and prepared foods.â&#x20AC;? And, of course, Mary $QQ 3XW]LHU¡V RZQ Ă&#x20AC;QHO\ SDLQWHG WHD sets to admire and enjoy whilst relaxing RQ D Ă&#x20AC;QH VXPPHU¡V GD\ The food servings center around, of FRXUVH D VHOHFWLRQ RI Ă&#x20AC;QH WHDV $V 3XW]ier explains, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have the good fortune that one of our planning people is originally from the UK, so she knows what it takes to present a proper English tea.â&#x20AC;? But beyond the tea, guests will be able to savor a dazzling array of shortbreads, cookies and other specially prepared concoctions, including what are

on food. Most times you just cook to survive, not for taste, but you still have to learn the basics. One of my older sisters called my mom one day from college asking how to make scrambled eggs and mac and cheese. Another sister of mine called and asked how to boil an egg. I, however, was too stubborn to ever call my mom for help at college, so I learned by trial and error, and of course, Google. Thank God for Google.

One morning during my sophomore year of college I was up early for class before any of my other roommates. I decided to make myself some toast with peanut butter on it, a staple for college

students. However, I must have had the setting too high and I completely burnt my toast. As if that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough, the smoke alarm started going off. I panicked and began waving a towel by the smoke alarm, because if it went off for WRR ORQJ WKH Ă&#x20AC;UH DODUP ZRXOG JR RII LQ the entire building and everyone would have to evacuate.

Another baking mistake Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made was one that was meant for family coming over. I baked a beautiful rhubarb berry pie. The crust was perfectly golden brown, the smell was both sweet and tart, and I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait for company to come over so we could cut and VHUYH LW :KHQ ZH Ă&#x20AC;QDOO\ GLG LW ZDV WKH consistency of soup.

it. Everybody felt bad enough that they still ate it, in a bowl of course, with a spoon. From that moment on, I never IRUJRW WKH Ă RXU DJDLQ Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve turned over-easy eggs into overcrispy hard eggs, underbaked a cake so the consistency was pudding, burnt caramel so the pot had to soak for three days after, and put a loaf of bread in the microwave thinking it was on convection oven and turned it into a giant crouton. But, all of these things taught me how to better my cooking or baking skills because of what I did wrong. I think everyone should try to create one whole meal from scratch at least once. It teaches patience, how to keep your cool and start over if something goes wrong and of course the satisfaction of creating something with your own two hands.

But most importantly, it teaches the most stubborn of kids how to ask their mother for a little bit of help.

The most interesting part of the study came years later when Mischel learned Chris Wondra that those who were able to wait were also more successful academically, socially and professionally. On average, kids who waited 15 minutes for the second marshmallow had SAT scores 210 points higher than those who lasted only 30 seconds.

The lesson from all this is that, people ZKR DUH DEOH WR GHOD\ JUDWLĂ&#x20AC;FDWLRQ HQG up being more successful, less stressed, and generally much happier than those unable to control their impulses.

Doing so, KRZHYHU UHTXLUHV D FORVHU ORRN DW ZKDW weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re actually dealing with â&#x20AC;&#x201C; because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably not what you think. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really measuring with the marshmallows isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t willpower or self-control,â&#x20AC;? Mischel says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s much more important than that. This task

Originally, scientists thought there was a simple link between a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to wait and how much they wanted the reward. Not true. Every child longed for the extra marshmallow. Further research revealed the key: a make-or-break skill called, â&#x20AC;&#x153;strategic allocation of attention.â&#x20AC;?

Children successful at resisting temptation do not overcome their desire.

They simply distract themselves from it.

They sing songs from â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sesame Streetâ&#x20AC;? and pretend to play hide and seek or other solitary and imaginary games. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re thinking about the marshmallow and how delicious it is, then youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to eat it,â&#x20AC;? Mischel says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The key is to avoid thinking about it in the Ă&#x20AC;UVW SODFH :KDW¡V LQWHUHVWLQJ DERXW \HDU ROGV LV WKDW WKH\¡UH MXVW Ă&#x20AC;JXULQJ out the rules of thinking. The kids who couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t delay would often have the rules backwards. They would think that the best way to resist the marshmallow is to stare right at it, to keep a close eye on the goal. But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a terrible idea.â&#x20AC;?

Turns out, resisting temptation isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t about â&#x20AC;&#x153;resistingâ&#x20AC;? at all. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about distracting. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about understanding how to control, not things, but thoughts.

When adults talk about this skill, we call it meta-cognition: the ability to recognize and, to some extent, control

our own thoughts and feelings. In this sense, success is a mind game. And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an inside job. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you can deal with hot emotions, then you can study for the SAT instead of watching television,â&#x20AC;? Mischel says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And you can save more money for retirement. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just about marshmallows.â&#x20AC;?

But arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t some people just naturally EHWWHU DW WKLV WKDQ RWKHUV" 'RHV WKLV KDYH DQ\WKLQJ WR GR ZLWK JHQHWLFV" No. After being taught some simple thinking strategies â&#x20AC;&#x201C; like imagining the treat to be just a picture â&#x20AC;&#x201C; kids who hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been able to wait 60 seconds could now resist temptation for the entire 15 minutes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once you realize that willpower is just a matter of learning how to control your attention and thoughts, you can really begin to increase it,â&#x20AC;? Mischel says.

Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s media and culture is teaching our kids that patience is no longer virtuous. Now, not only do you you know differently â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you can teach them why and give them a set of lifelong skills and values guaranteed to make a real difference.

Saxophone concerts to commemorate faculty members, celebrate modern music SHELL LAKE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Shell Lake Arts Center will present two very special free saxophone recitals on Monday, Aug. 5, and Tuesday, Aug. 6. Both concerts take place at 7 p.m. in the Darrell Aderman Auditorium, 802 First St., Shell Lake.

On Monday, Aug. 5, the faculty of the saxophone workshop will present a lyrical and tribute concert to honor Dr. Thomas Liley and his contributions to the saxophone. A longtime friend and faculty member of the Shell Lake Arts Center, Liley passed away unexpectedly on Jan. 22. The concert will showcase music inspired, commissioned, performed

by Liley, or performed in his honor. Of special note will be WKH Ă&#x20AC;QDO SLHFH RI WKH HYHQLQJ IHDWXULQJ 'U (XJHQH 5RXVseau on solo saxophone, accompanied by the Shell Lake Arts Center Saxophone Faculty Ensemble. All donations received will go toward the Dr. Thomas Liley Memorial Fund at the Shell Lake Arts Center.

The performance on Tuesday, Aug. 6, will take a very different approach to saxophone, taking the lyrical melodies often associated with saxophone to new heights with cuttingedge compositions. These pieces feature opera, jazz, blues, rock and nontraditional instruments.

Like all of the concerts at the Shell Lake Arts Center, both of these performances are free and open to the public. For more information, visit shelllakeartscenter.org or call the ofĂ&#x20AC;FH DW â&#x20AC;&#x201D; from SLAC

THE TENACITY TO FIGHT BREAST CANCER (A story of two women and their personal fight against breast cancer)

Two women employed at Countryside Co-op close ranks and find support during their battle with breast cancer! Sue and Becky, co-workers at one of Countryside Co-opâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s convenience stores both were diagnosed with breast cancer last fall. While the battle has been a very personal experience for each of them, they have relied on each other and found understanding, support and the power to keep pushing forward from each other and the rest of their Countryside Co-op family!

As a promise to her dying mother who insisted she get checked, Sue went in for a mammogram. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was like my mom just, somehow, knew I had breast cancer,â&#x20AC;? Sue explained as she wiped tears from her eyes. Despite a lack of any prior symptoms and direct family history, Sue was diagnosed in December 2012 with invasive carcinoma and underwent two separate lumpectomies in January 2013. With her last chemotherapy treatment occurring in June, Sue is optimistic that, thanks to her motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s insistence and the early detection created by the mammogram, the corner toward full recovery has been turned.

Becky was experiencing unexplainable pain and discomfort for several months but discounted the probability of cancer as she is under 40 and no family history existed. Because of her belief something was amiss, a mammogram was taken in September 2012, evidencing stage 3 breast cancer. Following a life-changing double mastectomy, Becky now has a clean bill of health and a changed perspective on â&#x20AC;&#x153;the smaller things in life, like eating dinner with her children at the kitchen table instead of in front of the TV. Those things mean a lot to me now,â&#x20AC;? she shared.

Although both women are well on their way to better health, with early detection being the key to saving their lives, it has not come easy. Each has struggled emotionally, physically and financially and fully agree this event changed their lives completely. Their daily routines revolve around medication, self-care especially when going outdoors, even small things like the deodorant they use had to change since treatment. The fatigue from treatment was especially trying when trying to juggle work, home and doctor visits. Despite their toll, however, Sue didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss a single day of work during treatments. When asking the two ladies how they found the strength to keep pushing forward, Becky quickly said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to! We have our kids to take care of! There isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t any other way but to keep going, and that is the attitude that has gotten us through!â&#x20AC;? They both said that going through treatment together has helped because they felt like they could relate to each other and help each other through the tough days. The journey they traveled together came with lessons learned that resulted in a greater workplace â&#x20AC;&#x153;team environment.â&#x20AC;?

Now Sue and Becky are on a mission to raise awareness of the importance breast cancer screening and early detection have on bettering womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Marshfield Clinic Mobile Mammography Unit is a great way to provide quick, convenient, confidential mammograms to women who otherwise may not have the time or means to get a mammogram,â&#x20AC;? Sue said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and we are so excited that Countryside Co-op has partnered with them to provide this service in our community! No doubt, lives will be saved!â&#x20AC;?

When asked what is the one piece of advice they would give other women, Becky emphatically exclaimed and Sue agreed, â&#x20AC;&#x153;go have it done! What is that one scared moment of hesitation you may have about a mammogram compared with the chance to live the rest of your life! The earlier you detect the cancer, the easier it is to treat it!â&#x20AC;?

Countryside Co-op is pleased to join Becky and Sue on their mission by teaming up with Marshfield Clinic Mobile Mammography this summer by helping to facilitate testing opportunities at its various convenience store locations. If this endeavor results in just one life-saving early detection it will have succeeded! We invite any woman interested in more information about mammography or who would like to schedule a mammogram to call 715-221-6068.

Appointments must be scheduled in advance but are available this summer at Countryside 589154 50L Convenience Store in Luck, Thursday, August 8, 2013, from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m.

And great it was. There were aircraft vintage and modern. Prop planes and even a jet. Soviet-era training planes, and a Navy trainer from the beginning of WWII. There were autos and trucks of the same description. Old classics that had been refurbished, and looked as though they had just driven out of 1920. Customized models that had retained little of their origins except an approximation of body shape.

20 Wisconsin counties ask state for Medicaid funds

by Shamane Mills Wisconsin Public Radio MADISON - Wisconsin counties are asking the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department of Health Services to take additional federal Medicaid dollars and let counties spend them.

Twenty counties in Wisconsin want the state to follow Ohioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s example, where Gov. John Kasich â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who is opposed to the Affordable Care Act â&#x20AC;&#x201D; has agreed to pass on federal funds to Cuyahoga County.

That Ohio County has federal permission to use money for Medicaid expansion under a demonstration project.

Eau Claire County Supervisor Gerald Wilkie says Wisconsin should follow suit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to have our vulnerable citizens

KDYH KHDOWK FDUH DQG ZH ZDQW WKH Ă&#x20AC;VFDO EHQHĂ&#x20AC;WV RI RXU IHGHUDO WD[ GROODUV WKDW ZH sent in,â&#x20AC;? says Wilkie.

Gov. Scott Walker says he had not seen details of the Medicaid demonstration project in Ohio. But if Wisconsin were to pass along federal money to Wisconsin counties, it would go against the administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan to tighten Medicaid eligibility to 100 percent of poverty. For a VLQJOH DGXOW WKDW¡V DERXW GROODUV in earnings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our goal isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t to have more people on Medicaid,â&#x20AC;? says Walker. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our goal is to cover everyone living in poverty â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which we already in this state, per our state budget â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and our goal is to transition more

people into the [private] marketplace.â&#x20AC;?

The Walker administration has applied for a federal waiver to expand Medicaid coverage to more childless adults while eliminating slightly higher income people from the program.

Critics like Citizen Action of Wisconsin say those people werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t intended for the federal marketplace known as the exchange, and even with subsidies may not be able to afford premiums and co-pays.

Editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s note: Burnett and Polk counties are not among those counties seeking Medicaid funds.

Cardwell completes 1,096 miles of Ice Age Trail SHELL LAKE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Dale Cardwell, Shell Lake, completed hiking the Ice Age National Scenic Trail, a total of 1,096 miles, on Friday, June 28, in Potawatomi State Park near Sturgeon Bay. Cardwell began hiking the trail in September 2011 at the western terminus in Interstate Park near St. Croix Falls. He hiked 78 days, often with his dog, in beautiful weather, heavy rain, snow and 90-degree heat. He often carried a backpack with food and sleeping gear so he could hike two or three consecutive days. He averaged 14 miles per day, but sometimes hiked over 20 miles in a day. Sometimes he was dropped off at one end of a seg-

ment and picked up by his wife, Sandy, at the other end. Other times he spotted his bike at the far end, drove to the start and when he was done hiking he had to bike back to the car. He said the hardest times were when he hiked a segment and then hiked again, back to his car. So Cardwell actually hiked and biked many more than 1,100 miles.

Since 1979, only about 80 people have hiked the 1,000-plus miles of the trail, according to the IAT Alliance. Some hike from the east to the west and others travel west to east.

Glaciers and their meltwater piled material into particular landforms called moraines, drumlins, kames and eskers. Rounded boulders scattered along the trail, sometimes piled in fencerows by farmers, are called erratics. Some were carried here from as far away as Canada. The Wisconsin Dells were carved by the glacial water. The National Scenic Ice Age Trail in Wisconsin follows the southernmost edge of the path of the glaciers.

The Ice Age Trail goes near or through St. Croix Falls, Luck, Frederic and near the southern border of Washburn County where it crosses Lehman Lake Road. It goes through Haugen into the Blue Hills, across the state near Medford and south to Portage. It continues through Verona, Janesville and then north to Manitowoc, Kewaunee and Sturgeon Bay. It is a footpath maintained by volunteers. In our area the Superior Lobe Chapter of the Ice Age Trail Alliance coordinates volunteers to maintain the trail. The National Scenic Ice Age Trail is one of only 11 such trails in the United States. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; submitted

UW System President Kevin Reilly to resign

by Gilman Halsted Wisconsin Public Radio MADISON - University of Wisconsin System President Kevin Reilly is stepping down from his position.

Reilly says his departure is not directly connected to recent demands from some state legislators that he resign. He says he began planning for his resignation as system president last fall before the legislatureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Joint Finance Committee scolded KLP IRU PDLQWDLQLQJ ODUJH Ă&#x20AC;QDQFLDO UHserves at the university while also calling for tuition hikes. Reilly says that stormy debate was just one of many during his tenure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In a nine-year span of leadership you have periods that are tumultuous and some that are calm,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think you expect that roller-coaster ride along the way.â&#x20AC;?

Reilly will be taking a part-time position with the American Council on Education in January to advise it on recruiting university presidents across the country.

He eventually plans to return to teaching.

He says the most challenging time during his presidency was the debate over whether or not the Madison campus would withdraw from the UW System and become an autonomous institution.

Gov. Scott Walker praised Reillyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leadership and urged the UW Board of Regents to look for a successor who will focus on increasing campus autonomy within the system. ´:H¡G OLNH WR Ă&#x20AC;QG D ZD\ WR KDYH D V\Vtem â&#x20AC;Ś that not only focuses on a great UW system in higher education, but [ties] it into the communities in terms of economic development, workforce development and job creation,â&#x20AC;? says Walker.

The board of regents will begin a national search for Reillyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s successor with WKH JRDO RI Ă&#x20AC;OOLQJ KLV SRVLWLRQ LQ WKH VSULQJ of 2014. Regent President Michael Falbo says they will be looking for someone who is committed to partnering with state government and industry in promoting economic development.

\ VRQ D FRPPHUFLDO Ă&#x20AC;VKHUPDQ spends his winters trapping in the northern interior of his adopted state of Alaska. He occasionally traps an elusive wolverine, valued highly for its thick, warm fur. Far northern natives line their parkas with it because it inhibits the formation of frost, thereby keeping their heads dry.

Wolverines have voracious appetites and are so cunning, they can steal bait from traps without setting them off.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re even known to hide or destroy traps. Every northern trapperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dream is to successfully trap one of these animals.

Weighing only 35 pounds, this largest member of the weasel family can kill a deer, moose or bear. One is reported to have killed a grizzly while suffering nearly fatal wounds from the bear. A wolverine has the reputation for being WKH Ă&#x20AC;HUFHVW PDPPDO LQ 1RUWK $PHULFD Can believers in Christ be as determined and single-minded in their love and obedience to him as the wolverineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ă&#x20AC;HUFH GHVLUH WR VXUYLYH" 7KH 2OG 7HVWDment tells a story about an unnamed prophet who bravely stood up for Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

Teenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s use of marijuana causes tension in family Q: What can we do about our teenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s use of marijuana? When we confronted him, he said that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now socially acceptable and on the verge of being legalized. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s refused to stop, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not sure how to respond.

Jim: Sadly, your son is correct in some respects. The social stigma against marijuana is diminishing rapidly, and some states -â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including my home state of Colorado â&#x20AC;&#x201C; have legalized it for even nonmedicinal purposes.

Nevertheless, marijuana remains offlimits to anyone under 21 in every state, and is still illegal at the federal level.

Legalities aside, the fact remains that cannabis is a mind-altering and addictive drug. Your son needs to know that his physical and mental health is being compromised. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve noticed recent changes in his personality, you can strengthen your case by describing these EHKDYLRUDO VKLIWV LQ VSHFLĂ&#x20AC;F WHUPV <RX can also direct him the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, samhsa.gov, where he can see images of â&#x20AC;&#x153;the brain on potâ&#x20AC;? and access facts about the effects of marijuana on the central nervous system.

as possible. Others experience a decrease in desire. There can be many reasons for this: postpartum depression, fatigue, preoccupation with the baby, fear of discomfort during intercourse (due to temporary physiological changes following the birth), tension or anxiety about new responsibilities, and hormonal changes.

Before you and your spouse resume your sexual relationship, talk with your GRFWRU $VN VSHFLĂ&#x20AC;F TXHVWLRQV DERXW KRZ long you should wait before intercourse and what you might expect physically.

Medical considerations aside, the key to a coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sexual relationship after childbirth is not how active their sex life is.

Remember, this is what your mate needs from you sexually right now. There is no right or wrong answer. If you receive an answer that is below your expectations, honor your spouse, even though you may not agree.

And donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget, a wife will respond sexually after she feels emotionally connected to her husband. Make sure youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re focusing on meeting each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

Hundreds gather for annual rendezvous at Forts Folle Avoine

by Jean Koelz Leader staff writer DANBURYâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Every July, hundreds of people gather to recreate the historic fur trade at Forts Folle Avoine. From Friday through Sunday, July 26-28, campers who dress in authentic period clothing, traders and merchants who set up shop, and visitors (called â&#x20AC;&#x153;outlandersâ&#x20AC;? by participants) spent the weekend learning about history and having a lot of fun in the process.

According to the Wisconsin Historical Society, Wisconsinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy revolved around the fur trade for nearly 200 years.

The rendezvous is a trip back in time to

the early 1800s, and gives a hands-on look at what life was like for traders and their families.
