&DURXVHO was with Ted, said, “I’ll walk home. You guys can talk to Ted about his truck.â€? My son Dave and I quizzed Ted until well after dark. He engineered and constructed the gasoline-to-wood-burning conversion. There are only about 10 to 12 trucks like it in the U.S. He told us the technology of getting combustible vapor from burning wood goes back to the early 1900s. Under the hood and in the engine compartment is an electric inverter that converts 12 volts of direct current to 120 volts of alternating current. The AC voltage powers a blower that boosts the temperature of the burning wood. The combustible vapor from the burning wood is collected and cooled by circulating it with another blower through metal grates on the side of the truck bed. Vapor is piped up to a gate valve under the hood and injected into the intake manifold of the engine. Two accelerator pedals are on the Ă RRU LQ WKH FDE 2QH FRQWUROV WKH JDWH valve for vapor. The other is for the small gasoline carburetor in case he runs out of wood. Ted, Dave and I went for a short ride near Bone Lake Drive in his decked-out Scottsdale. I’m not sure of the mileage you can get out of a cord of wood but Ted gets about 1,000 miles from a pickup full. He has driven 11,000 miles on just wood. Ted spends his winters in Thailand managing a manufacturing business

making after-market parts for 1957 Chevrolets. During summer he can be found working on his farm near Milltown. On one occasion he was on the Greenland ice sheet helping to try and recover war birds entombed in deep ice. The aircraft were abandoned there after emergency landings during the Second World War.

Jay Famiglietti is a NASA water scientist who is part of a group that has been using the latest satellite technology to study water supplies in California. When he was asked how critical the water shortage is, he said, “It’s more scary than people realize.� The lack of water forced California farmers to idle around 400,000 acres of land last season and this year that number is expected to double with an estimated 17,000 people in the agriculture industry that will no longer have jobs. Crop farmers aren’t the only ones feeling the impact.

can citizen. We used to consider jail an unwanted experience but we have turned the tables. Now everywhere in larger cities we have gated communities with electronic surveillance and armed guards and high walls or fences to make us feel secure. We lock ourselves in jail at night to sleep and let ourselves out in the morning for work release. My daughter and her husband live in a town house community near Minneapolis, Minn. They bought a grill so they could experience the great American pastime of the backyard barbecue. Now grills are outlawed. Not only are they forbidden but you can’t even store it on your property unused, tucked away and locked up. They had to give their grill away or store it off-site for fear the grill police might show up ZLWKRXW D VHDUFK ZDUUDQW DQG FRQÀVFDWH their property. God forbid that you might burn your wiener on a Sunday afternoon and trigger the next great depression. This past week I had the unwanted experience of taking a test to recertify and renew my medical credentials. Some people may trust a doctor but certainly not the regulating agencies. After paying $2,000 for the privilege of an experience not unlike a six-hour root canal, I had to present myself at the testing center 30 minutes prior to the scheduled test. I needed a current government issued photo ID and an assigned code number known only to myself and all of the computer hackers

of the world. I had to roll up my sleeves and pant legs to reveal my wrists and ankles, empty my pockets and turn them inside out. No watches, phones, pens, pencils or foreign objects of any kind were allowed into the testing center. I then had to stand on the “Xâ€? RQ WKH Ă RRU VR WKH SKRWR VXUYHLOODQFH equipment could fully document my evil intent. Following that, with arms raised and pockets empty and pulled out like a homeless beggar, I had to wait for the wand. The proctor stood before me like Darth Vader in “Star Wars,â€? waving the light saber, pondering which limb they might sever. I had to turn like a pig on a spit while the light saber did its work. Only then, after I had been cleared of all malicious intent, was I allowed to sign in on a log sheet and enter the inner sanctum of the testing center. Not long after entering did I realize that the stress of the moment was triggering an urge to urinate. Twenty years ago I might have held it all day ‌ not anymore. You guessed it, I had to sign out, empty my already empty pockets, roll up my pants and sleeves and turn like a pig on a spit before the magic wand. We live in a different world now. We don’t trust one another. Despite spending billions on security measures we are less secure now than ever before. Maybe peace and security doesn’t come from without but from within. Think about it.

ep. Sean Duffy’s visit to the American Legion Hall in Grantsburg last Tuesday night felt more like a campaign event than a town hall meeting. Duffy, who said recently on “Morning Joeâ€? on MSNBC that his party “can come across as knuckle-dragging Neanderthals,â€? was in a highly partisan mode from the get-go. The largely supportive audience urged him on with TXHVWLRQV WKDW VHHPHG WR VWRNH KLV Ă€UH running the gamut from food stamp cheats to impeaching the president. And, no surprise here, the AffordDEOH &DUH $FW FDPH XQGHU Ă€UH ZLWK WKH congressman predicting its demise if the Supreme Court strikes down the federal subsidies that have helped millions of previously uninsured people purchase insurance. Duffy thought it highly likely that they would rule against the subsidies, which come in the form of tax credits, while cautioning that this Supreme Court can be unpredictable. While Duffy hinted at a House Republican contingency plan in the works should the ACA come crashing down, KH RIIHUHG QR VSHFLĂ€FV DERXW KRZ WKRVH who are currently enrolled would continue to have coverage. But I have a hunch what that plan might entail - I’m just guessing here, of course - and if I’m right, this ingenious idea would address just about all of Obamacare’s shortcomings. So I remain hopeful. First clue: I seem to remember at his last visit to Grantsburg, when a questioner suggested that Duffy consider supporting “Medicare for all,â€? that the

7KH YLHZ IURP KHUH Steve Pearson congressman said something to the effect of, “You should talk to my mother - she would support that.â€? In 2012, she declared in a TV ad for her son that she’s a lifelong Democrat and that she knew her son would protect Medicare. Then, there’s the money thing. Republicans have complained long and loud that the ACA will break the bank, and Duffy said he had heard from several constituents whose premiums had JRQH XS VLJQLĂ€FDQWO\ VLQFH LWV SDVVDJH So any new Republican plan would have to be a money-saver. That was my second clue. $QG Ă€QDOO\ 5HSXEOLFDQV LQ WKHLU FULWLFLVPV RI 2EDPDFDUH KDYH DIĂ€[HG the label “government-runâ€? and have suggested that it takes a lot of decisionmaking power out of the hands of consumers. So that was my third clue. Thinking about it afterward, I was pretty darn sure I knew what those House Republicans had in mind. I’m gonna go out on a limb here and make a wild guess: sometime in June, should the Supreme Court decision go their way, the Republicans will come out in favor of a single-payer system, aka Medicare for All. It’s the one plan that would take care of those aforementioned concerns and address others we may not have even thought of. Let’s

take a closer look. Before the ACA passed, approximately 47 million Americans were uninsured. Since it was enacted, estimates are that nearly half of the uninsured are now covered through the combination of state and federal exchanges, Medicaid expansion and young adults staying on their parents’ plans for extended times. That still leaves close to 25 million uninsured Americans, so we’re a long way from universal coverage. A Republican single-payer plan would remedy that (Can you say compassionate conservaWLYH" The secret single-payer plan that Duffy could have been hinting at would provide huge savings over any other proposal including the ACA. By most current estimates, administration – this includes all aspects of the insurance industry and the hospital staff assigned to deal with that bureaucracy – accounts for 31 percent of all health-care costs in the U.S., or roughly $350 billion per year. The savings realized by cutting out this “middleman� would be enough to provide coverage for everyone without paying more than we already do. No more deductibles or out-of-pocket costs. I love this plan. Finally, no more complaints about government-run health care. The VA is government-run health care, as is the British system. Under single payer, you would get a health-care card which would allow you to go to any doctor or hospital in the United States. You would make the choice. Doctors would not be government employees and private hospitals would remain private. Sounds a lot like Medicare to me. The

only carping you hear about Medicare is seniors expressing the fear that it will be taken away by the Republicans. Extending Medicare to all would be a stroke of genius by the Grand Old Party. :KR ZRXOG KDYH JXHVVHG" Though Republicans refused to participate in the creation of the AffordDEOH &DUH $FW WKH ÀQLVKHG SURGXFW looked suspiciously like a Republican bill, Health Equity and Access Reform 7RGD\ \HV +($57 LQWURGXFHG E\ Republican Sen. John Chafee in 1993. The 20 co-sponsors included several big names in the party at that time, Dole, Hatch, Grassley, Lugar, etc. The bill featured an individual mandate, purchasing pools, vouchers for the poor and a ban on denying coverage for pre-existing conditions. These same features were incorporated into the Massachusetts bill signed into law by Mitt Romney in 2006. So it remains a mystery why today’s Republican Party has been so staunchly opposed to the ACA. But maybe we’ll just have to let the mystery be, as the song goes. If the Supreme Court rules the way Duffy thinks they will, Republicans may have a chance to put their own stamp on health care. If my hunch is correct, they stand poised to take it to the next level in a way that would address all of their VLJQLÀFDQW FRQFHUQV 1R PRUH NQXFNOH dragging Neanderthals. Mom always did know best on this one – in the richest country in the world, no one should be without access to quality health care.

LUCK KINDERGARTEN REGISTRATION

3

LUCK KINDERGARTEN REGISTRATION FOR THE 2015-16 SCHOOL YEAR WILL TAKE PLACE ON TUESDAY, APRIL 21, AT 7 P.M. IN THE LUCK SCHOOL CAFETERIA

I Y3

This evening is designed for parents only, so they may have a better understanding of the kindergarten program and details of their child’s day at school. If your child is currently enrolled in our 4-K Program in Balsam Lake, your child will bring home a registration packet to be completed by you and returned on April 21. If your child does not go to the 4-K Program, then a packet may be picked up at the Luck Elementary School Office anytime between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.. Those children that are not enrolled in 4-K will also need to bring their child’s birth certificate and immunization records. A school physical will be required to attend Kindergarten. According to state law, (chapter 429, section 118.14), a child must be five years old on or before September 1, in order to go to kindergarten in the fall. If you have questions regarding this, please call us at 472 H 3 2153, ext. 108.

As we grow in our knowledge of God, we begin to develop the fruit of God’s Spirit, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness and self-control. Living a fruitful life for God isn’t always pleasant. It means we may have to face situations that make us uncomfortable for his sake. It may mean losing someone’s friendship or a job.
