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. 3 H K >5(?37

Dream ride

ST. PAUL, Minn. – On Saturday, Aug. 15, the Minnesota State Fair Foundation hosted a preview of the Minnesota State Fair which opened on Thursday, Aug. 22. The Taste of the Fair was attended by Ron and Karen Clark, of Buffalo, Minn. Karen is the daughter of Orv Volkmann, a resident of Frederic. In addition to the sampling of free food, midway games, UDIà HV DQG OLYH PXVLF WKH HYHQLQJ DOVR hosted a silent auction. On that auction was a ride for one passenger on the Budweiser Clydesdale wagon during the opening-day parade at the fair, and Karen happened to be the winning bidder for the rare opportunity. Karen is a self-employed riding instructor and horse trainer on the farm that she and Ron own, called Rainbows End. She is celebrating her 40th year in the horse industry as a professional and has exhibited her horses and client horses for well over 45 years. One would never have dreamt that it would be possible to ever sit up behind the Budweiser Clydesdales, and it’s a dream come true for Karen. Add to that, her love and commitment to the Minnesota State Fair year after year. The opening day of the 2013 Minnesota State Fair was a milestone for Karen in her life of horses. – submitted .DUHQ &ODUN RI %XIIDOR 0LQQ JRW WKH UDUH RSSRUWXQLW\ WR ULGH LQ WKH RSHQLQJ GD\ SDUDGH DW WKH 0LQQHVRWD 6WDWH )DLU EHKLQG WKH IDPRXV %XGZHLVHU &O\GHVGDOHV z 3KRWRV VXEPLWWHG

There is no clue. My immediate reaction is to feel stupid. This poem is published, so somebody thought it was good. The people who thought it was good must have understood it in order to think it was good, but I don’t understand it and therefore, obviously, I am more stupid than all those people. Then I get angry.

Before, kids just pretended to talk on their play phones, now they also pretend to play games, take pictures and text on their play phones. I caught my niece taking pictures of herself with her play phone saying “Cheese!â€? I asked her if she was going to put them on Face-

I picked her up and put her in my lap where I was browsing Pinterest RQ P\ ODSWRS ´:DKKK :DKKK ÂŤ RRK Pretty!â€? was how the tantrum ended. I decided from then on, any tantrum could easily end in a quick session of Pinterest. She even tried touching the screen, thinking it was a touch screen like the iPad she uses at home sometimes. Kids today do know how to use just about any gadget you put in front of them. But nothing replaces the classics: a little girl’s purse and play makeup or a little boy’s trucks and cars. Those things induce years of imagination and the batteries never run out.

new lockers, new friends, lunch money and much more will demand Chris Wondra attention and tax your child’s brain. Sorting, analyzing and assimilating all that new information takes energy. Still, one of the biggest reasons for fatigue is lack of sleep. Many of our students’ sleep schedules are different during the summer months. Start to gradually adjust your schedules now. Getting up and going a little earlier now will make WKRVH ÀUVW IHZ KHFWLF PRUQLQJV UXQ D little smoother. But that’s not even the most important argument for an earlier bedtime. In order to successfully cement information into long-term memory, the brain depends on frequent amounts of adequate sleep. New learning creates disturbances in the brain’s neural

networks. To adapt, brain cells need to build and grow new connections. This neural growth can only happen during periods of rest. Studies have shown that our brains are not built for continual stimulation. Learning becomes much easier when the brain takes breaks, pausing to connect new information to prior knowledge. Brain researchers call this resting period “settling time,â€? and it’s an absolutely essential phase during the creation of new long-term memory pathways. In order to learn at our highest levels, the brain needs to rest. It also needs nourishment.

self-propelled inline bale wrapper and a tractor with a bale spear can do the work of a full teenage hayin’ crew in half the time. One of the most labor-intensive chores on the ranch is building fence. I ZRUNHG IRU D ELJ RXWÀW WKDW KDG VHYHUDO large ranches with miles of fence. We had a four-man crew. They would set the corners and the brace posts with posthole diggers and tamping bars. The roll of barbwire would be strung out, carried by two men often walking for miles when the country was too rough to drive along the fence line. Then the wire was stretched and the steel posts were driven in the ground with a 15pound post pounder every 20 or so feet. 6WD\V DQG FOLSV ZHUH VSXQ RQ WR ÀQLVK Sometimes they could do a mile a day.

Today we have a tractor with a posthole digger on the three-point hitch and a post pounder (or pusher in places where it rains). For those who still want to “rough itâ€? there is the hand-held hydraulic post driver. Some hand work always has to be done; stretchers, inline strainers, corner braces, and a good eye for a straight line, but we have reduced the amount of sweat work and the need for a crew of four strong men. How about the old days of chopping weeds in the row crops? I remember the Bracero Program along the Mexican border where workers legally came into the U.S. to chop weeds, hand plant and harvest crops. The U.S. government stopped the program because it was supposedly taking work from able-bodied Americans. The very next year every cotton farmer in the Rio Grande Valley had bought a McCormick cotton picking machine. Now we spray for weeds RU XVH JHQHWLFDOO\ PRGLĂ€HG FURSV WKDW resist insects, weeds and disease. When I was a lad we milked one cow. It supplied butter and milk for our fam-

ily. Most farmers kept 5-10 milk cows. It took an hour or two every morning. It was the longest part of “doing the chores.� Farmers sold their milk and cream or traded it for goods. Even today in highly automated dairies milking thousands of cows, it is still an intensive, hands-on part of agriculture. The only thing they don’t have to do is milk them! There are many more examples of the amount of “labor� required in farming and ranching, then and now, but it is that last one that comes to mind. On my wall is a painting of my grandfather walking from the “cooling room� (where the fresh milk was kept in running water to stay cool) carrying a bucket to the pump at the windmill. Then he would walk back and feed the hogs, scatter grain to the chickens, turn the draft horses out, then up to the house for breakfast. If they painted that picture today, he would be on his fourwheeler and probably weighing another 20 pounds! baxterblack.com.

Rediscovering his roots ‌ one man’s odyssey It seems pretty simple-people visit Forts Folle Avoine Historical Park, learn some history, move on, and that’s that. What’s fascinating, though, is that it doesn’t always work out that way. Not at all. In fact, some people Ă€QG D SHUVRQDO FRQQHFWLRQ WKHUH RU RQH WKDW Ă€UHV RII a whole set of thoughts, then one thing leads to anRWKHU ÂśWLO Ă€QDOO\ IUHVK GLVFRYHULHV UHVXOW Take the case of Jackson Buxton and his quest to retrace his family’s roots. While much of Buxton’s current life revolves around his Twin Cities work and home life, he grew up at Silver Bay on Lake Superior’s Minnesota shore. It was there he learned about voyageurs, but it didn’t matter a whole lot to him then. He also was slightly aware of his own Native American side, but that too remained in the background. As he explained to my pal, the Old Recluse, during a recent visit to Forts Folle Avoine, “Indian lore, voyageur and fur trade history were all around me as a kid - that history was embedded in the area, so we heard a little about it LQ VFKRRO IRU LQVWDQFH 3OXV WKH WRZQ¡V PRVW LQĂ XHQtial citizen - Reserve Mining Chairman E. W. Davis, became involved with the state historical society’s program of underwater archaeology, where divers recovered fur trade artifacts like kettles and axes from rapids where voyageur canoes had crashed during the 1700s. So there was a vague familiarity with the fur trade heritage but I never thought it was really a part of my personal story.â€? Since then, though, Buxton has learned he has very close ties to that era. Blood ties. As he explains, “I always knew my father was part-Native; we attended some powwows and I knew that my grandmother was the great-granddaughter of Osaugie, one of the Fond du Lac Band chiefs. While Grandmother instilled a sense of pride in the family’s native roots, my father allowed his own tribal membership to lapse, and it wasn’t until later that I began to refocus on my own native background.â€? And in doing so, he also found a fur trade connection which led to his discovery of the Forts Folle Avoine site. Jackson Buxton has been a visual artist, teacher, musician and waiter. “My waiter job has paid most of the bills,â€? he adds with a laugh. But these days it’s KLV RZQ QDWLYH IXU WUDGH KHULWDJH WKDW KDV Ă€UHG KLV imagination. “A few years back Kristi Wheeler, who does genealogical research, asked if I’d like her to trace my ancestry. I readily agreed, and what she found out was stunning. Turns out that besides my bloodline stretching back to Chief Osaugie, there’s strong voyageur/fur trade connections as well. Indeed, it turns out the family line includes Indian/ French intermarriages, which were common in fur trade days. “So I also have family deriving from a French-Canadian trader - Charles Gauthier, and Francois Lemieux, a clerk/voyageur. Gauthier, in fact, had worked for John Sayer.â€? The latter was the chief trader at the original Forts Folle Avoine, so Buxton’s ties to the site are indeed close. “When I found out I had these roots,â€? Buxton recalls, “I thought, ‘No kidding; no wonder I’m so at home in the north woods, and feel drawn to the land on a cellular level.’ My spirit feels most at peace knowing I have these connections.â€? Working out the ties more directly has become a passion for Buxton. Fresh from his genealogical discoveries, he sought out various people around the Fond du Lac reservation, whose tribal historian suggested he read Lafayette Connor’s book “Cecelia,â€? about his Ojibwe

From tracing his family roots, Buxton’s passion soon led him to an old acquaintance, David Christopherson, of St. Paul, who introduced him to a voyageur re-enactors group called La Compagnie, whose members in turn carry out their own “living historyâ€? by recreating costumes, reproducing tools and items similar to those in use during fur trade times, and setting up camps where visitors can interact and learn from them. Following up on these contacts, Buxton has begun assembling his own collection of native/ fur trade materials, and spent time at the recent Folle Avoine Rendezvous, “Shopping for historic reproductions I can incorporate into developing a historic persona I can use to participate in more of these sorts of events.â€? Not only has he been assembling living history materials, he even undertook construction of a birch-bark wigwam on land he owns near Lake Nebagamon. “This feels so right,â€? Buxton explains. “It’s how I want to honor my heritage.â€? And he’s been doing exactly that, not only spending time with voyageur re-enactors, but also immersing himself in his native background via taking 2MLEZH ODQJXDJH LPPHUVLRQ FODVVHV DQG Ă€QGLQJ PRUH relatives of his from the Chief Osaugie family tree. Descendants of the chief have organized family reunions, holding some of their gatherings at Superior’s Wisconsin Point, where Osaugie’s village was located. “One of my cousins, Butch Martineau, has EHHQ D NH\ Ă€JXUH LQ )RQG GX /DF SURJUDPV RYHU WKH years,â€? Buxton says, “and has begun mentoring me in various facets of tribal and of course family history.â€? %X[WRQ¡V Ă€QGLQJV KDYH HYHQ EHJXQ WR DIIHFW KLV artwork, he says. “My artistic training was based on the usual Western European art school approach. I no longer care about this learned process, so I quit painting a few years back. But I still felt there was this artist in me that needed a voice. Then images began to come to me - the artist within me, the voice waiting to speak was Anishinabe (Ojibwe). I started painting again as I’d found a new cause. I was always told in DUW VFKRRO QRW WR GR ÂśKREE\¡ VWXII OLNH Ă RUDO VXQVHWV etc. At least that’s what the ‘experts’ advised.

I like the feel of the place, given how the place relates to both my Ojibwe and French-Canadian heritage.â€? Buxton’s trail has taken him from Silver Bay to North Dakota (for college), down to the Twin Cities, and gradually back to his native/fur trade footprints, via his contacts with Forts Folle Avoine Historical Park. Interestingly, then, Forts Folle Avoine is not just a relic of old times, but still plays a role as a cultural crossroads, translating dry history into current-day stories like that of Jackson Buxton. Following a pancake breakfast on Sunday morning, Sept. 1, Forts Folle Avoine Historical Park’s tour schedule reverts to Saturday-Sundays only in September. The historical library will be open on Wednesdays per usual. The park is located on CTH U, three miles west of the Hwy. 35/CTH U intersection in Burnett County’s Yellow Lake region.

he county fair has come and gone. What a great fair it was! There were many wonderful exhibits and fun activities for everyone, a real family affair. HCE congratulates the fair board members and all involved with organizing the fair for a job well done again this year. HCE handed out many lightly used books and hand-knitted “wiggly wormsâ€? to all the children who stopped by with their parents to visit and ask about our organization.

Disabled veterans Ride for Peace

SIREN – “The ride will be more like a Freedom Ride for many of our disabled vets,� said Commander Christopher Sower, from the Lund-Brown American Legion Post 132 in Siren. “Some of these veterans don’t get out much anymore and look forward to events that bring them into the mainstream community. Others have limited mobility issues that keep them from participating in activities most people take for granted.� Sower was referring to the ATV/UTV ride that his post is sponsoring on the Gandy Dancer Trail in Burnett County on Saturday, Sept. 21, beginning at 10 a.m. at Veterans Memorial Park in the village of Siren. The park is adjacent to the access point on the Gandy Dancer Trail and the location for the start of the disabled veterans ride adventure. One of the event organizers, Larry Koch, noted that our veterans deserve the opportunity to enjoy the recreational advantages offered by the county. “We are happy to see the community come out and support this ride the way they have,� said Koch. He went on to say the 15.5 mile ride each way will include a ride to Danbury in the morning with a return trip in the afternoon following free lunch served by the St. Croix Casino and other veterans services along the route. While

on the ride North Memorial Ambulance will provide emergency coverage and the Danbury Fire Department will offer its support in Danbury. “We want our disabled veterans to take advantage of the opportunity to ride on this wonderful state trail,� said organizer Richard Costerisan. “This is their chance to spread their wings and show their pride.� The permit will allow for up to 70 participants. A signed and approved application is required to join the ride and you must be a disabled veteran. “We recognize that not everyone will be capable of riding an ATV/UTV,� said Costerisan. “This is why we are providing three different passenger wagons/trailers. One of the trailers will be suitable to handle up to four wheelchairs/scooters,� Costerisan added. “We just don’t want to leave anyone behind.� Koch wants to remind all those who will be operating an ATV/UTV that it must be registered and in legal operating condition to join the ride. That includes a DOT approved helmet, he noted. “We are required to use helmets if we are riding on one of the machines, for insurance purposes,� he said. “Those riding in the wagon/trailers won’t have to meet that demand.� Koch explained the Legion post was required to purchase a $1 million policy to qualify for the DNR permit needed for the ride. Sower said that a disabled veteran,

or the family of a disabled veteran that would like to have their veteran join the ULGH PXVW Ă€OH D UHJLVWUDWLRQ IRUP DQG EH approved. They will need some volunteers to assist the veterans on the ride as ZHOO 9ROXQWHHUV ZLOO EH UHTXLUHG WR Ă€OH an application too. They simply need to know who everyone is and determine the merit of their involvement. The registration forms are available at the Siren Village Hall, the County Veterans Service 2IĂ€FH WKH 6W &URL[ 7ULEDO 3ROLFH 6WDWLRQ in Hertel and the St. Croix Casino in Danbury or by contacting the organizers. See contact information below. “Putting together a ride like this was no easy task,â€? said Costerisan. “It just happened that Chris, Larry and I are all friends and ATV riders. We were looking for a way to honor our veterans while providing for an event that could grow and be good for our local economy. Honoring our vets with a ride and allowing them to speak out on an issue like world peace seemed like a natural. By combining a political ‘statement’ with a wellorganized veterans group and bringing the activity to a community that will EHQHĂ€W HFRQRPLFDOO\ , WKLQN KLW WKH ULJKW note,â€? said Costerisan “We are looking for this to become an annual event so other groups or businesses might want to organize around the ride as it grows in stature. They are already getting inquiries from other veteran and ATV groups

expressing an interest in participating or forming their own event. “I think this could become a big deal in the future,â€? said Costerisan. Koch agreed. “Just getting the permits and insurance was challenging. First, we had to get the county resources committee approval. Following that we had the challenge of getting a permit from the DNR to use the trail. Thanks to help from Sen. Sheila Harsdorf, we were able to get the permit process speeded up and stayed on schedule. Then, there was the insurance. Not everybody sells insurance for this type of activity. With that all behind us, now we can focus on getting disabled veterans signed up and hold the ride.

SIREN – The Burnett County Chapter of the St. Paul Red Cross Service had a successful drawing at the Siren Covenant Church, using their facility. Despite the 90 degree weather, 71 clients presented themselves, and 70 units of blood were proGXFHG 7KHVH LQFOXGHG ÀYH GRXEOH FHOO XQLW donors and a number of deferral clients. Multiple donor of the day was Jerald Ran with a 6-gallon pin. First-time donor was Cathy Hinze. The St. Paul Red Cross Service phoned donors for appointments or requested them to call the 800 number and make an appointment for the drawing. The Siren American Legion Auxiliary provided volunteers and canteen snacks of homemade cookies, crackers, pretzels, juice and coffee. Appreciation is extended to the Siren Covenant Church for the use of their facility. Local volunteers included Katie Hedlund, coordinator; Laura Jensen, Joan Anderson, Connie Hunt, Susie Lee, Ethel Daniels, Jean Flanigan, Rose Nelson, Wanda Flanigan, Avis Morrison, Cathy Hinze, Kay Daniels and Galen Daniels from the American Legion. The Red Cross recognizes and appreciated donors and volunteers who make this effort a worthwhile cause. When you give blood, you give someone another birthday, another anniversary, another laugh, another hug and another chance. The next blood draw will be held Jan. 7, 2014, at Webster.– submitted

Two Habitat homes dedicated in a day

by Jackie Thorwick Special to the Leader BURNETT/POLK COUNTIES - Two little girls in Webster have a much better chance at healthy lives in spite of their cerebral palsy, thanks to Habitat supporters and volunteers. Dawne Summer and her granddaughters Madison and Delaney were surrounded by friends and family on Sunday, Aug. 25, when their newly completed Habitat home in Webster was dedicated. Summer has been raising the girls in a trailer in Siren. Its cold winter Ă RRUV ZHUH terrible for Madison and especially Delaney, who is in a wheelchair and spends WLPH SOD\LQJ RQ WKH Ă RRU ZKHQ QRW LQ KHU chair. Its narrow hallways meant Summer needed to carry Delaney to the bath and bedroom.

All of that soon will be in the past, and they will be living in an affordable home ZLWK LQ à RRU KHDW DQG ZLGH KDOOZD\V DQG doors. And this home was built through donations and volunteer labor. The home was dedicated on Sunday, DQG IRU WKH ÀUVW WLPH LQ WKH KLVWRU\ RI :LOG Rivers Habitat for Humanity, it was a doubleheader: the Habitat home in Frederic was dedicated the same day. Krista and Jared Moe, with their children Isaiah and Laurel, also celebrated the completion of their home, built on land donated the Todd and Carole Wondra. The Moes have been living in a very small apartment in Milltown, their children sharing a room. Like many families, there has always been some other expense that’s come up that has made it impossible for them to get into a larger home.

The local Habitat program has been growing by leaps and bounds in recent years. During its early years, WRHFH normally built one home a year, completLQJ KRPHV GXULQJ LWV ÀUVW \HDUV ,Q 2009, it expanded into Polk County and built two homes per year for three years. Three homes were completed in 2012. The homes in Webster and Frederic were the third and fourth homes this year. Two more are already under way, in Luck and in Amery, and they are expected to be complete before year’s end, which PHDQV WKH DIÀOLDWH ZLOO KDYH FRPSOHWHG six homes this year. In addition, WRHFH launched its a Brush With Kindness home repair program last year and already has helped over 100 families paint or repair their homes since then. There are so many people in our area

living in unhealthy or too-expensive rental homes. Each time a Habitat home is completed, a family who has been struggling with housing is able to put that energy- and resource-sapping struggle behind them and move forward with their lives, focusing on schooling, raising children and whatever else they may be drawn toward. 8QOLNH D IRU SURÀW EXVLQHVV DV +DELWDW grows, it needs more help from its supporters, not less – more volunteers, more donations.

Volunteer training for Regional Hospice services being offered SIREN — Volunteers are needed for all of Burnett and Washburn counties and the northern half of Polk County.

Whatever the case, there comes a time in every child’s life when he or she crosses the threshold into adulthood. Once this line is crossed, the parent-child relationship changes in some basic ways. Your child is then on the road to becoming your peer and equal rather than a dependent minor. He will be graduating into a position of self-responsibility, and his personal decisions have to be something more than a matter of simple submission to Mom and Dad’s instructions. He will have to choose to act on the basis of the wisdom you’ve attempted to instill in him over the years and out of an awareness of his personal responsibility. With that in mind, imposing a curfew

on your son at this point might shortcircuit the maturation process. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have a few ground rules while he’s living under your roof. Sit down with your son and let him know that he is welcome to go on living in your house, but that as an adult he will need to start assuming more adult responsibilities. This includes responsibility for personal expenses, laundry and cleaning, transportation, phone and Internet. It’s also reasonable to ask that he make a weekly contribution to the grocery budget and even pay a reasonable amount of rent. All of these things will help launch him into the world of adult responsibilities. ••• Q: I have two stepsons and I love them, but I’m having a really hard time connecting with them.

Here are a few things you might consider as you work to connect with your stepsons. First and foremost, keep in mind that it’s easy for an enthusiastic stepparent to come on too strong in expressing his or her excitement about the new family. This can be confusing – even threatening – to a child, triggering a nasty response. At such times, the stepparent needs to relax, step back and let the relationship develop at the child’s pace.

Rather, it’s a way of demonstrating your commitment to investing in the health and vitality of your blended family.
