Governor’s Fishing Opener to blitz Polk County

Balsam Lake is the prestigious site for the second time

Greg Marsten |Staff writer BALSAM LAKE – The melting lake ice is a harbinger of arrivals to come this weekend, as the 49th-annual Governor’s Fishing Opener gets under way, again returning to Polk County, and this time to Balsam Lake over May 2-4. Polk County has been chosen as the opener site four times since 1983, and this is the second time Balsam Lake has earned the prestigious honor. “It is an honor to be chosen,� stated Sue Mathews of the Polk County Information Center. She has led the charge for bringing the event to the county and has coordinated the activities, events, prizes and sponsorship at every corner. The event is technically invitation-only, but residents can possibly catch sightings of media and business professionals from all corners of the state, as well as some Twin Cities media types. Mathews and other volunteers have been planning for the fishing opener event for many months and have also arranged an itinerary for the attendees that includes many local venues, from Trollhaugen to Paradise Landing and many in between.

Gwen Minnick-Wright and her four daughters, Olivia, Hailey, Hannah and Morgan, visited the infusion center at St. Croix Regional Medical Center, Friday, April 18, and delivered not baskets, but beautiful bags with items for patients undergoing chemotherapy or infusion treatments.

We wanted to do something special for her, and all patients affected by cancer, to give them some comfort, peace and hope.� Minnick-Wright said she had this idea for creating bags for patients and sharing them with two medical centers, St. Croix Regional Medical Center and Osceola Medical Center. Once she and her daughters began assembling bags, many other gifts poured in from those who wished to help, yielding many bags beyond their initial goal. “So many know someone with cancer,� stated Minnick-Wright.

last year. Clark says factors playing into that may include fewer properties on the market in some parts of the state. Also, he says modest improvements in the economy and a dropping unemployment rate bode well. “The combination of those things, they do tend to put upward pressure on those prices, and we’ve seen prices, statewide, increasing since March of 2012,� said Clark. Overall, Clark says he’s cautiously optimistic that Wisconsin’s housing market will continue to recover from the collapse in 2008. “The summer ought to shape up to be a relatively solid market,� he said. “Whether it will hit the levels of last year, that remains to be seen.� In 2013, home sales jumped by 10 percent statewide, with average home prices going up by 6 percent.

Albert Ravenholt fund gives back to community Family never forgot its home Gregg Westigard | Staff writer LUCK/MILLTOWN – Nine Ravenholt children grew up on a farm near Milltown in the 1920s and ‘30s. Their Danish parents were well-educated and life on the family dairy farm was a mix of farm work and reading. The family farm was foreclosed during the depth of the Depression in 1935. But all nine children, Albert, Halvor, Eiler, Johanne, Reimert, Otto, Gerda, Agnes and Astrid, went on to get their college degrees and build successful careers in agriculture, journalism, public health, government and social service. You could write a book about the contributions of the nine siblings to society, and brother Reimert has written four on the family. Oldest brother Albert lived a life of ad-

venture as a war correspondent in Asia and agriculturalist and writer in the Orient. Albert had no children but set up a foundation to put his money to good use after his passing. And while he lived as a world citizen, he desired that his money go back to his home community, the Luck and Milltown area, and Polk County where he was born and raised. Give back to your community is the theme of the Albert Victor Ravenholt Fund, his niece, Ann Bokelman, says. +H GLG QRW OHDYH VSHFLĂ€F LQVWUXFWLRQV IRU how his legacy should be distributed. But Bokelman says the family members directing the fund give grants to “things we think he cared about.â€? She says he cared about education, agriculture, books, the area of his youth. The Albert Ravenholt Fund has just given $50,000 to Kinship of Polk County but has also funded the Luck Historical Museum and Library, the new Milltown

Library, the folk school at West Demark Church and the Luck Golf Course. Reimert Ravenholt, one of the three fund directors, is still active and writing at age 89 from his home in Seattle. He told the Leader in a phone conversation that the gift to Kinship is appropriate because Albert, the oldest brother, was always a mentor to his eight siblings, watching how they did, giving encouragement and help. Reimert said Albert led by example. Albert actually left two legacies, the fund directed by three family members, and the “cousins trust,� an annual payment to some two dozen of his nieces and nephews. Bokelman, one of the nieces, says a condition of that trust is that the cousins must come back to the Polk County area every second year to get that year’s payment.

the only reason he had stopped is when a child came into the bedroom. After the incident, she asked Perez to leave, which he did. However, he is accused of coming back later and causing a disturbance. He reportedly yelled at a baby sitter, calling her an expletive and telling her

to leave. Police tracked Perez down a short time later, and he admitted to placing his hands on the woman’s throat, but claimed it was in self-defense, and he also said he

accidentally broke the window with his elbow. Perez was tested for intoxicants and was found to have a blood alcohol level of .11 percent.

New heroin laws get high marks in rural Wisconsin

Walker signs package of bills into law

Glen Moberg | WPR MADISON - New laws designed to Ă€JKW :LVFRQVLQ¡V JURZLQJ KHURLQ SURElem are getting positive reviews in rural parts of the state, with drug treatment and prevention specialists saying the laws will help save lives. Gov. Scott Walker signed the package of seven bills into law on Monday, April 7. For Deb Piskoty, who treats heroin addicts at Prevention Solutions Counseling of Wausau, the focus on rural parts of the state is overdue. “That has been a big deal here in Wausau,â€? said Piskoty. “We’re kind of in the middle of no man’s land, in the middle of Wisconsin.â€?

The new laws allow heroin users to report an overdose without fear of prosecution, something Piskoty says will keep local addicts from dying. “I know they died as a result of the lack of response from the people around them, the other people that were using drugs around them, because they were WHUULĂ€HG RI EHLQJ FDXJKW Âľ VDLG 3LVNRW\ “Because they knew if they called authorities, they could very well be charged themselves.â€? Piskoty also gives high marks to other parts of the legal package, such as allowing emergency responders to administer the anti-overdose drug Narcan and giving addicts a place to turn in drugs. “Narcan is what brought them back,â€? said Piskoty. “You know, that’s somebody’s child we’re talking about. Drug drop-offs? I love it. I love the fact that

Williams says this will help provide the mentors and youth with tools and skills they need to a have a successful mentoring relationship. Kinship of Polk County has been assisting area youth for 34 years. It is a program of community where all those involved, the youth, their parents, the adult mentors and staff, interact as a community. All work together to help the youth meet their needs in life. Williams says that there is always a need for more Kinship mentors willing to help young people. Currently there are 14 children waiting for a mentor. Kinship will help interested mentors learn about the program and pair the volunteer with the youth. That bonding can lead to a lifelong friendship.

Accidental 911 calls become issue for sheriff’s department BURNETT COUNTY - Many of today’s cell phones have a feature to automatically dial 911 - a safety feature that can save lives when it works right, but can also create a lot of false alarms. Burnett County Sheriff Dean Roland reminded the public this week that every 911 call is taken seriously by his department. “We have to follow up on every single one,� he said, noting that the false calls can be time-consuming for dispatchers and takes time away from other duties. Pocket dialing and kids playing with cell phones have resulted in a growing number of false 911 calls, the sheriff noted. “Read your (phone) manuals,� he said. “And please don’t let your kids play with the phone.� - Gary King with information from redrockonair.com

Strong message from Conservation Congress Congratulations to the Conservation Congress. Final results from Wisconsin counties participating in the congress’s annual spring hearings held April 14 prove that there is broad and deep statewide support for mining safeguards. Overwhelming majorities supported resolutions opposing the proposed “mountaintop removal� taconite mine in the Penokee Range near Mellon and supporting the repeal of the new iron mining law, or “2013 Act 1,� known by critics as the Bad River Watershed Destruction Act. At Polk County’s meeting at Unity School, the resolution to repeal the iron mining law passed 34 to 11; the resolution to oppose the proposed iron mine passed 30 to 14. Most notably, Ashland and Iron counties, home to the proposed Gogebic Taconite massive open-pit iron mine proposal, strongly supported both the resolution to oppose the mine and the resolution to repeal 2013 Act 1. Across the state, the resolution against the giant mine was approved in 28 of 32 counties where it was introduced, with a total vote count of 1,485 for and 732 against – or 67 percent approval. The resolution

supporting the repeal of 2013 Act 1, the enabling legislation that removed many of the state’s mining protections, was approved in 19 of 24 counties, with a vote count of 1,138 in favor and 606 against or 65-percent approval. The Iron Mining Law was written by and on behalf of Gogebic Taconite. It made broad changes to Wisconsin mining laws that would enable the largest open-pit mine in Wisconsin history and allow it in the environmentally and culturally sensitive Bad River Watershed of Lake Superior. The proposed mine would be up to 1,000 feet deep DQG ELJJHU WKDQ RQH VTXDUH PLOH LQ DUHD ,W would permanently pollute groundwater, wetlands, lakes and streams, and produce more than 900 million tons of acid-leaching wastes that would threaten all the Great Lakes for decades.

The mine site includes multiple designated trout VWUHDPV DQG WKH '15 KDV LGHQWLĂ€HG WKH Penokee Range as an area of high conservation importance. Downstream are the Kakagon-Bad River Sloughs, a National Natural Landmark and Wetland of International Importance comprising 40 percent of the coastal wetlands of Lake Superior. The resolution to repeal the mining act passed overwhelmingly because the act grossly reduces environmental protections and citizen input related to iron mining. 7KH UHVROXWLRQ UHTXHVWV WKDW WKH :LVFRQVLQ '15 %RDUG PDNH D VLPLODU Ă€QGLQJ DQG work with the Legislature to repeal the law. The resolution opposing GTac’s proposed mine relies on Article IX, Section 1 of the Wisconsin State Constitution, also known as the Public Trust Doctrine. The doctrine states that navigable waters “shall be common highways and forever free,â€? and courts have established that encroachments upon these waters may only be permitted if they serve the public interest. GTac Corp. wants to gouge a mine out of over 3,000 acres and produce 900 million tons of wastes. Some planned mine pits would be up to 1,000 feet deep.

Bringing it down to our level It wasn’t too long ago that Congress passed, and the president signed into law, a new farm bill to cover the next 10 years. Congressman Duffy voted for the new farm bill which reduced the FoodShare program, food stamps, for the state of Wisconsin. But bringing it down to the level of Polk County will make it easier for everyone to understand the true impact of the changes. In the year 2013, $6.5 million was given to approximately 5,000 participants of the FoodShare program. Of the 5,000 people that received food assistance, 2,400 on the average were children and 2,600 were working adults and people that were on Social Security. This works out for an average of $103 per participant in assistance, and of course that means some got much less $103 and some received more. Note: The largest employer in Polk County for the working poor is Wal-Mart. Under the new farm bill, next year’s food share program will be cut by approximately $500,000. Other organizations throughout the county also provided food to individuals and families that needed assistance. An example of an organization would be Family Pathways. In 2013, from two locations, one in St. Croix Falls and one in Frederic, 1,101 families were served unduplicated, 3,107 LQGLYLGXDOV DQG IDPLOLHV UHFHLYHG À[ings for a holiday meal. With other organizations that provide food on a biweekly or monthly basis, the need for food assistance in Polk County is great. So this doesn’tmake sense that Duffy would cut a program supplying food to its citizens. Also included in the new farm bill in Polk County that Duffy voted for was the agricultural assistance given to farmers through the Farm Services Agency and private insurance companies. The 2012 data shows that direct payments worth $5.7 million were distributed to 874 agricultural producers in Polk County with the highest coming in at $69,000 plus and the lowest at

1RWH (LJKW\ SHUFHQW RI WKH EHQHÀWV going were to the top 20 percent of farmers. Also an additional $4.3 million was spent on Crop Insurance Subsidies and an additional $826,900 was being spent on the administration of the Polk County program paid to private insurance companies. The total federal subsidies to Polk County farmers is $10.8 million Note: Farmers contributed $2.1 million toward their crop insurance coverage or about 33 percent of the cost. The information about agriculture subsidies for Polk County can be found on the website Environmental Work Group, ewg.org. Under the new farm bill, direct payments to farmers were reduced, but the total amount of additional money going into crop insurance subsidies was increased by $90 billion over the next 10-year period of the bill, negating any savings from the FoodShare program. 7KH TXHVWLRQ LV ZK\ GLG 'XII\ YRWH IRU this bill? Well, could it be the $247,604 in contributions from insurance companies and $223,137 in ag-related contribution since he was elected to Congress? Note: In 2013 he received $86,342 alone from the insurance companies before the 2014 Farm Bill vote. Information on contributions can be found on Open Secrets website, opensecrets.org. My guess is that he received little or no PRQH\ IURP WKRVH ZKR EHQHÀWHG IURP WKH FoodShare program. It might also be noted that nationally, the insurance industry spent millions lobbying Congress for the changes that occur in the new farm bill so Duffy is not alone in taking their money.

Saints sink to Pirates attack

Ĺ“Ĺ˜ hits fuel victory for Grantsburg Grantsburg 8, St. Croix Falls 0

Scott Hoffman |Staff writer 67 &52,; )$//6 ² ,W ZDV Ă€QDOO\ D QLFH day for a baseball game with St. Croix Falls hosting the Grantsburg Pirates Friday, April 25. Grantsburg’s coach Pete Johnson has been a little gun-shy in this cold spring. “I’ve kept our new bats at home until tonight because of the cold temps. I guess I should have taken them out earlier,â€? Johnson said. Senior Pirate Austin Handy was able to do something that the Pirates struggled to do in the early innings, and that was drive across some runs. In the second inning with the bases loaded and only one out the Pirates were able to push a run across. St. Croix head coach Brian Jacobson had praise for his opponents. â€?Grantsburg played a solid game, they hit the ball very well, including when they had runners in scoring position. We missed a huge opportunity in the sixth with the score 5-0; we had bases loaded on three consecutive singles and failed to score a run. They have a nice team, who put all three phases of the game together - pitching, hitting and defense.â€? Johnson went with Tristan Brewer on the mound for the Pirates and was able to shut down the St. Croix scoring attempts, even pitching out of a bases-loaded situation in the bottom of the sixth with nobody out. Hitting was essential for the Grantsburg win. Pirate senior catcher Austin Thoreen led a 16-hit attack, going 4 for 4. Josh Glover also had a timely douEOH WR IXHO D Ă€YH UXQ VL[WK LQQLQJ +DQG\ came in to relieve Brewer, combining for zero walks, zero runs and striking out eight. Johnson commented after the game,

Katie Kopp pitched well, but they showed why they are one of the top teams in the state. This week we play Prescott, Shell Lake and Turtle Lake/Clayton.

New Burnett County warden grew up enjoying outdoor life in Polk County BURNETT COUNTY – Dustin Gabrielson’s career began while still in high school when he had a life-changing conversation with the local conservation warden in the Frederic High School career day.

that proved problematic for some, as 10 inches of snow greeted many anglers along streams in northwestern Wisconsin.

The event is designed to promote tourism in the area, and it sounds as though Gov. Scott Walker will be joining again, but the event is not political in nature.

Goiffon family takes success in stride

Jean Koelz|Staff writer

SIREN—Four years ago, the InterCounty Leader ran a story about 11-yearold Ellie Goiffon heading to a national competition to show her Grand Champion Australian terrier, Beckham. A year later, Ellie returned to the Eukanuba Nationals to show Beckham’s daughter, Gabby, who garnered the First Award of Excellence and the Best Bred by Exhibitor award. The Best Bred By title is a big honor, representing a comprehensive award that acknowledges the excellence of the breeder. Dogs competing in this category have to be raised, trained and shown by the breeder. “For me, as a breeder, to be acknowledged in this way was better than winning Best of Breed,â€? says Theresa Goiffon, Dunham Lake Australian Terriers owner. Since then, the family that started raising and training dogs for fun has taken several turns around the ring and won multiple titles in the process. Dunham Lake Australian Terriers has been recognized by the American Kennel Club as a Breeder of Merit and has earned an international reputation for champion dogs. More recently, one of the dogs they co-own with Dr. Tim and Jane Steinmetz won Best of Breed at the prestigious Westminster show. In 2013, top achievements include two Best in Show titles (the only Australian terrier to win that title last year and only the 16th in history), six Reserve Best in ,QWHUQDWLRQDO DQG $.& *UDQG &KDPSLRQ 'XQKDP /DNH 7RXFKHG E\ DQ $QJHO |*DEE\} HDUQV D Show titles (the record for Aussies), 17 EUHHGHU V PRVW VRXJKW DIWHU WLWOH %HVW %UHG E\ ([KLELWRU DW WKH (XNDQXED 1DWLRQDOV LQ ZLWK Group 1 wins, 13 Group 2 wins, nine \HDU ROG KDQGOHU (OOLH *RLIIRQ Photos submitted by Theresa Goiffon, Dunham Lake Australian Group 3 wins, nine Group 4 wins and a Terriers Best of Breed at Montgomery. “The competitions and awards are just part of the fun,â€? Goiffon explained. “They’re not about cash prizes. In most cases, an award might come with a prize of $100 or something, not even enough to cover the entry fees.â€? While bigger shows like Eukanuba or Westminster dole out much bigger prize packages, the competition includes thousands of dogs entered by large, professional organizations. In 2013, for example, there were over 4,000 entries representing 177 breeds. “For hobbyists like us, to do well at a large show is a really big deal.â€? The titles and awards serve as validation, or bragging rights, as Goiffon calls them. They serve as endorsements for SHRSOH ZKR ZDQW WR Ă€QG D EUHHGHU ZLWK credibility. “We don’t breed the dogs for the money either,â€? Goiffon said, while explaining that their success allows them to be selective about who gets one of their dogs. Goiffon is not interested in breeding champion dogs that will spend their lives in crates and travel around to compete to earn titles for hands-off owners who see the dogs as investments or works of art. “Our dogs are pets, members of the family,â€? Goiffon said. “We’re only interested in breeding for like-minded people who love these dogs like we do.â€? For that reason, there’s a two-year waiting list for a Dunham Lake terrier, and the dogs must $ZDUG ZLQQLQJ $XVWUDOLDQ WHUULHU |-DNH} IUROLFV DW KRPH LQ 6LUHQ be picked up in person because the Goiffons won’t ship. Any money made from the sale of the dog goes back into the care

Goiffon maintains close relationships with her buyers, sometimes remaining a co-owner in order to mentor and assist new families that would like to show their dogs. ,W¡V HVSHFLDOO\ JUDWLI\LQJ WR Ă€QG D EX\HU who sees the hobby as a family affair. “The future of the sport is in the junior category,â€? Goiffon said. “I love it when we can help another family get started and be successful too.â€? The Steinmetz family is a great example. It was their daughter, Jackie Johnson, who handled Scout for the big Westminster win. “I want people to know that they can do this,â€? Goiffon encouraged. “It’s a lot of work to do what we do and we’ve had to learn from our mistakes, but it can be done and it’s a lot of fun.â€? For the Goiffon family, the hobby started with the youngest daughter watching dog shows on television. The family started following the sport the way others might follow baseball or soccer. They researched breeds, contacted breeders, joined the Cambridge, Minn., Kennel Club, and started entering local shows, Ă€UVW ZLWK GRJV WKH\ SXUFKDVHG WKHQ ZLWK dogs they bred and raised themselves. According to the American Kennel Club, there are ample resources available. The AKC was established in 1884, and is the world’s largest purebred dog registry in the world, with over 5,000 licensed clubs DQG DIĂ€OLDWHV UHFRJQL]HG EUHHGV DQG 22,000 sanctioned events. Between all the dog shows, obedience trials, hunting tests, lure courses and earthdog tests, AKC processes over 3 million contest entries each year. The Goiffons expect to enter just 10-12 shows this year. Although they used to select shows based on proximity, the family has other considerations now. Because of their growing international reputation, Goiffon has had to keep an eye on the laws of other countries. In Europe, for example, alterations such as tail-docking or ear-clipping are banned. According to the AKC website, the breed standard for competition purposes says that the Australian terrier’s tail should be docked. “But after observing how much the dogs use their tails for agility and communication, I’ve made the decision not to dock,â€? Goiffon explained. “The tails are just wonderful!â€? While PRVW $.& MXGJHV GR QRW Ă€QG IDXOW ZLWK a natural tail, some do. Goiffon takes this into account when considering which shows to enter. The tail-docking issue may be another reason there’s some competitive tension between Goiffon and some other breeders. “We’re in this for the fun of it,â€? Goiffon repeated, admitting that it might be hard for other breeders to see her become so successful so quickly. “My girls would say that they’ve had a lot of fun, but they’ve also seen that competition can bring out an ugly side to people.â€? The breeder that Goiffon initially contacted years ago discouraged her from the start, and she has been increasingly hostile ever

Goiffon/from page 1 since. At a recent show, that breeder was behind an effort on social media to disparage a young competitor who was showing one of Goiffon’s dogs. “It’s a new low for our sport,� Goiffon commented in a recent blog entry. “The only response is to use it as an opportunity to teach your kids about good sportsmanship and character.� For the most part, though, Goiffon says the people at the shows are great. “It’s actually a lot like the comedy ‘Best in Show,’ a mix of eccentric people who are there for different reasons.� Referring to her own family’s reasons, Goiffon says, “At the end of the day, we’re just people who love our dogs and want to do what we can to better the breed.� Then she added, “We’re so thankful to God for the opportunity to do what we do; we’re blessed especially with the ability to do it as a family and make so many good friends along the way.� For anyone interested in attending a nearby show, Goiffon recommends the Summer Solstice AKC All-Breed Dog Show, sponsored by the Cambridge Kennel Club and held at the Isanti, Minn., fairgrounds June 19-22.

To keep the nervous father-to-be busy, the doctor handed him a lantern and said, “Here, you hold this high so I can see what I’m doing.â€? Soon, a baby boy was brought into the world. “Don’t be in a rush to put the lantern down. I think there’s yet another wee one to come.â€? Sure enough, within minutes he had delivered another baby. “Now don’t be in a great hurry to be putting down that lantern, young man. It seems there’s yet another!â€? cried the doctor.

he Environmental Protection Agency is often at the forefront when it comes to regulations impacting farmers and there’s a certain amount of distrust when the agency tries to add to its authority. Such as the case with the latest proposal called the “Waters of the U.S. Rule� that would allow more EPA regulation of water under the Clean Water Act. According to EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy, the proposed change does not expand the Clean Water Act, “The rule will not regulate groundwater or tile drainage systems and it will not increase regulation of ditches and this rule keeps intact existing Clean Water Act exemptions for agricultural activities.� Despite the reassurances, there’s plenty of skepticism in the ag community with claims the additional rules would allow the EPA to regulate ev-

Unlike many state programs, the EPA has no time limit or requirement to grant permits, which could result in long delays and huge expenses for farmers. EPA claims the agriculture exemptions won’t change, although Bob Stallman, president of the American Farm Bureau Federation, points out that the exemptions apply “only to farming that has been ongoing since the 1970s, not new or expanded farms.â€?

The dogs are penned at night and released during the day into a three-acre house and barn lot surrounded by shock collar wire. We have regular invasions of coyotes and javelina that can make short work of barn cats and outside dogs. Barking is a good deterrent and alarm for intruders. Back to Rudy, the new dog. From the beginning he was a boisterous, happy, destructive puppy. It was cute when he was 3 months old, but now it’s a pain!

With things warming up and the snow melting I am beginning to see the green, no, brown grass. Actually I am seeing dirt where the plow pushed the sod back so far that it is now waaaay in the yard and there is nothing but dirt at the edge of the yard. Still, no one can imagine how truly grateful we are that we had someone come to plow us out all winter. That was a big job, because as soon as he plowed it snowed again and on and on. Wait, I am not telling you anything. You were right in the midst of it with us ‌ except all of those who went west or south and missed the whole thing. By the way, from all of you snowbirds, we really loved the postcards. Oh, I am wrong. We didn’t get any postcards. Does anyone really send postcards any more?

Polk County and the Ice Age Trail featured at outdoor expo POLK COUNTY—The National Scenic Ice Age Trail that starts in Polk County’s Interstate Park was featured at the 58th-biannual Midwest Mountaineering Outdoor Expo, held April 25-27 in Minneapolis. Polk County Tourism Council volunteers Roxanne White and William Johnson, both from Frederic, provided expo visitors with information about the 1,100mile hiking trail across Wisconsin that follows the southern edge of the glacier that covered a large portion of the state and then receded 10,000 years ago, leaving behind in its journey the geography we see today. The Ice Age Trail has over 1.2 million visitors a year, who bring $113 million to our state and local economies. Destination marketing is important to Polk County, where visitors spend over $70 million annually. Polk County is fortunate to host the western terminus of the trail in Interstate Park and has many interesting segments, including the recently completed trail through Wisconsin’s newest state park, Straight Lake, just east of Luck. The Ice Age Trail Alliance and the local

Croix Falls. Many interesting remnants of the glacier’s advance and retreat are easily seen from the trail in Polk County. The expo featured over 100 exhibitors and 120 presentations for outdoor adventure enthusiasts. Polk County’s own Bending Branches, Osceola, was a sponsor of a Friday event, and their canoe paddles were on display with factory representatives on hand. Bending Branches paddles are one of the products offered at Midwest Mountaineering. For more information on the Ice Age Trail or volunteer opportunities, visit iceagetrail.org.

AMERY – Mind Your Health, this year’s theme for May is Mental Health Month, calls attention to the importance of mental health to overall health and wellness. “We know that mental health is integral to overall health,â€? said Dr. Colleen Erb, program director of ARMC’s Behavioral Health Center located in Amery. “People need to care for their mental health so they can respond to the stress of daily life and the challenges it presents. This Mental Health Month, we are encouraging everyone to learn about steps they can take to protect their mental health and balance both mind and body.â€? Mental Health America has developed a series of fact sheets available on its website, mentalhealthamerica.net/may, on steps anyone can take to improve their overall mental health and well-being and on how to get help when needed.

Cushing artist featured at Healing Arts Exhibition HUDSON - Textile artist and author Jean M. Judd is one of the selected artists for the Healing Arts Exhibition at the Hudson Hospital and Clinics in Hudson. The exhibition is a juried art program at the facility that selects artists from Wisconsin and Minnesota. The 13 artists who were awarded the exhibit slots for 2014 were chosen by the Visual Arts Council of The Phipps Center for the Arts in Hudson, following a lengthy process of reviewing over 140 submitted proposals. Eleven pieces of Judd’s artwork will be displayed throughout the Hudson Hospital birthing unit from April 16 through Aug. 10. The other selected artists’ work will be on display in other areas of the facility. An artists reception with refreshments is planned for Friday, May 9, from 6-8 p.m. at the Hudson Hospital and Clinic. The featured artists will be in attendance to share conversations about their artwork and to meet the public. “I am excited to see so many of my artworks hung at one time in a hospital setting,â€? says Judd. “The location chosen for the showing of my work is ideal for the textile artworks selected.

Motorcyclists who successfully complete a basic rider course, and in the near future an advanced rider’s course, do not have to take the road test at the DMV.� This year, the WMSP is teaming up with ABATE of Wisconsin, a motorcycle riders’ advocacy group, to distribute posters around the state urging riders to get endorsed. In its 33 year history, the WMSP has graduated more than 180,000 riders from its training programs. The program has expanded its courses around the state that provide training for riders at all levels of experience from beginner to advanced.

Constructing a great gala Priscilla Bauer | Staff writer GRANTSBURG – When Lorna Landvik quipped, “I thought there might have been an accident or this was crime scene,â€? the Minneapolis author and comedian was referring to the yellow caution tape wrapped around dinner tables and chairs at the Crex Convention Center. “And when I saw the hats I wondered LI ZH ZHUH KRQRULQJ Ă€UHPHQ Âľ ODXJKHG Landvik in her opening remarks as the guest speaker at the Friends of the Grantsburg Library Gala on Saturday, April 26. The tape, hard hats, toy dump trucks, and even mini chocolate shovels greeting gala guests were all to celebrate the ground breaking later this spring for the library’s 2,500-square-foot expansion. The planned addition is intended to provide the community with the space and technology needed to keep up with

the future of learning. The Friends of the Grantsburg Library group has successfully raised $200,000 of the $270,000 needed for the expansion to the existing library with the Grantsburg Village Board members unanimously voting to support the expansion by matching, dollar for dollar, fundraising money raised in 2014 up to $35,000. Landvik’s comical remarks on the construction-themed decorations were just the start of many entertaining anecdotes by the keynote speaker delighting the audience. “I’m a huge fan of libraries,� Landvik told patrons, and went on to recall a fun fan encounter at a library. “I love to talk to people and hear their stories, but this woman was a talker. I heard about everything, even what she was making her

husband for supper.â€? “I’m a big eavesdropper, too,â€? admitted Landvik. “I’m always listening to what people are saying.â€? Landvik, author of nine novels, including the best-selling “Angry Housewives Eating Bon Bons,â€? “Oh My Stars,â€? and “The View From Mount Joy,â€? told the audience that from the time she read Dick DQG -DQH ERRNV LQ Ă€UVW JUDGH VKH ZDQWHG to be a writer. “I wanted to create that magic,â€? said Landvik, who also credited her sixthgrade teacher for giving her encouragement. “He wrote in my school autograph ERRN Âś%HVW RI OXFN IRU D Ă€QH OLWHUDU\ FDreer.’ When asked how her stint doing comedy improv in Los Angeles and Twin Cities comedy clubs affected her writing, Landvik said it taught her much about the

rhythm of language and the structure of sentences. Landvik said her 10th novel, “Best to Laugh, which is set for a 2014 release and is about a young woman doing comedy in the 1980s, was a chance to re-create those days of living in L.A. working as a temp and a stand-up comedian. In describing her writing process Landvik had this to say, “The characters come into my head, they pique my interest and I start writing.� As gala guests grabbed up their toy truck party favors, silent auction wins, and autographed copies of Landvik’s books the construction of a great evening was complete.

Thank You The loss of our husband, father and brother, Bill Ellis, has been a very emotional time. We are overwhelmed with the generosity of so many family and friends. Bill touched many lives in his time on earth, and we are amazed at how many people have reached out and expressed their sympathy. Words could never express the gratitude and love we feel from your cards, flowers, CaringBridge messages, emails, phone calls, meals and visits. A very special thank-you to Swedberg Taylor Funeral Home for their help and handling the funeral service. Pat, Stacey and Joel, you are all a class act, and we can never thank you enough for all the help you gave us. Pastor Emery Johnson and New Hope Lutheran Church, words can’t express the appreciation for your words of comfort during Bill’s service. The members of the church who helped serve the meal, make bars, usher, ran the sound system and many other behind-the-scenes jobs, we are very grateful. A very special thankyou to Sonny Winberg for honoring Bill with upbeat music that had the congregation singing along, and we’re pretty sure that Dad was in heaven singing along. Perhaps you sent a lovely card, or sat quietly in a chair. Perhaps you sent those beautiful flowers, that we saw sitting there. Perhaps you spoke the kindest words, as any friend could say. Perhaps you were not there at all, just thought of us that day. Whatever you did to console our hearts, we thank you so much.

Siren Elementary celebrates Dr. Seuss Day SIREN - Every year Siren Elementary School has a spring reading incentive. This is where they do something special and fun to encourage students to read. They held a third-quarter reading incentive Feb. 1 through March 31. During the nine weeks, 105 students met their grade-level reading goal and earned a free movie ticket to Timbers Theatres. At the end of the quarter, the top readers had a pizza lunch with the elementary principal, high school principal and the dean of students.

Thomas Meadows. Teachers gave out red dragon reading dollars for the third quarter. This was done to encourage students to develop good reading habits and reward good readers. A red dragon dollar was given for any kind of reading such as reading to themselves, partner reading or reading minutes at home. Reading rewards were drawn weekly from the red reading bucket when the regular dragon dollars were drawn. The reward for the drawing was a free book. March 2 was Dr. Seuss’s birthday. During that week, the Cat in the Hat was seen prowling the hallways in the Siren schools. The students who were halfway to their reading goals were able to have their picture taken with him.

the week, also. If students had the correct answer and if their name was drawn for that day, they could win a Dr. Seuss book or a writing booklet. Why celebrate Dr. Seuss Day? Celebrating Dr. Seuss and reading sends a clear message to children that reading is fun and important. Reading is promoted for many reasons. Children who read often get better at it, reading exercises the brain, reading builds new brain connections, reading teaches children about the world around them, reading improves vocabulary, reading helps develop a child’s imagination, reading helps develop empathy, reading relaxes the body and calms the mind and it is a great form of entertainment. Timbers Theatres supported and provided an awesome reading incentive to promote literacy in Siren students. - submitted

In Memory Of My Grandpa Johnson By: Matt Johnson

Cancer wrecks a lot of lives, Turned around and it broke my eyes As it echoed throughout the land. Some gave some, But he gave all. He stood true for the red, white and blue, And then he had to fall. He Was A Loving Man, He Was A Special Man, And He Was, Yes, He Was My Grandpa

Though your smile is gone forever, and your hand we cannot touch, we still have many memories, of the one we loved so much. Your memory is our keepsake, with which we’ll never part. God has you in His keeping, we have you in our hearts. Sadly missed but never forgotten.

CHURCH NEWS dry up. What sort of foundation can we trust? “No one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.

Hank had heart surgery May 20, 2013. As a result of several complications, he was hospitalized for 4 months and in a nursing home for 2 months. In July 2013 his right leg was amputated at midcalf and in October he was fitted with a prosthetic leg and foot. He returned home November 20, 2013, and with therapy he is making progress and getting stronger. Please come to this celebration to greet Hank and enjoy some good food and fellowship, and dance to the wonderful music of Terry Tonnar. There will be food, raffles, silent auction and games for kids. Freewill offering accepted.

There will be plenty of close-up, free parking. The Frederic Art Center is in the old Legion Hall building located at 310 Lake Ave. S., just across from the Coon Lake Park entrance.
