James G. Anderson

To his good friends, we all knew him as a master craftsman. As a tinman and electrician, he was a perfectionist.

Jim was a private man, but had many friends whom he cherished.

He will always be remembered by his laugh and the twinkle in his eye.

He passed away recently, way too young.

This tribute is from his many friends â&#x20AC;&#x201C; so long Jim. 3

E. L Hoyt | Special to the Leader BURNETT COUNTY - â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you build it, they will come,â&#x20AC;? is a famous quote from a well-known movie.

For Burnett County, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a new twist: â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you come, we will build it.â&#x20AC;? The â&#x20AC;&#x153;weâ&#x20AC;? are the residents of Burnett County. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;itâ&#x20AC;? is a life-size replica of the Jordan Buck.

The Jordan Buck Community Art Project is the arts contribution to the Jordan Buck Centennial, a series of events commemorating Nov. 20, 1914, the day Jim Jordan of Danbury shot a huge buck topped with what would become world record 206-1/8-inch antlers UW-Extensionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mike Kornmann is organizing Burnett County fall activities to celebrate this legendary hunting feat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I met Mike in the grocery store several months ago, and he told me he wanted the arts to be part of the centennial celebration,â&#x20AC;? related Harriet Rice, Webster artisan and arts advocate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We brain-

She continued, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when I thought of the life-size, animated theater puppets in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Lion Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and the stage version of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;War Horse.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; It came to me that we could build a life-size replica puppet of the buck.â&#x20AC;?

Her idea to build the life-size theater puppet, animated by humans, is about to become reality. Chris Lutter, Minneapolis-based professional theater puppet builder, has agreed to be the lead artist/ engineer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chris has been building largerthan-life puppets for 20 years,â&#x20AC;? explained Rice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He used to live in the AshlandWashburn area.

All you need is a desire to be part of a unique community art project,â&#x20AC;? said Rice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is something families can do together; students and Scouts can help.â&#x20AC;?

$QLPDWRUV People are needed to animate the lifesize buck. Lutter described the kind of â&#x20AC;&#x153;animatorsâ&#x20AC;? heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s looking for whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll bring â&#x20AC;&#x153;lifeâ&#x20AC;? to the puppet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking for young folks with upper-body strength, some athleticism, and a playful attitude,â&#x20AC;? he said. Although only two animators are required, any number of volunteers can be trained and their names retained on a roster to be called up as needed.

According to Rice, the entire process will be documented with still and video LPDJHV ´7KH SODQ LV WR SURGXFH D Ă&#x20AC;YH minute documentary,â&#x20AC;? she said, adding, â&#x20AC;&#x153;during the building process, some images and video may be uploaded to YouTube and Pinterest.â&#x20AC;?

Once the Jordan Buck is built, what happens next? Rice explained, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The puppet becomes the property of the Burnett County community. Either stationary or animated, the puppet can be used as an educational tool in schools, for art exhibits, as a draw for businesses during hunting season, and in parades.â&#x20AC;? She added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a piece of art, it will be stored properly and cared for.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Jordan Buck story is unique to Burnett County, of all the 1,002 counties in the United States, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the ones who have the bragging rights and the pride in ownership of a unique piece of art that we built,â&#x20AC;? said Rice.

t helps when you have a lot in common.

I decided to marry Peter before I actually knew him very well. One curious thing about this is that I am just now learnCarrie Classon ing how he he does day-to-day things. I like the way Peter does WKLQJV , OLNH WKDW KH FOHDQV KLV KRXVH ZLWK PLFURĂ&#x20AC;EHU towels and travels with a cold box full of broccoli.

I like the way he cooks several vegetables for dinner and always uses cloth napkins. I like the way he hikes slowly and purposefully, forcing me to slow down and notice things rather than rush on by. While the idea of opposites attracting sounds romantic and adventurous, at this stage in my life I was not really looking for my opposite, as it turns out. I was looking for a man who likes to make his own tofu.

Peter is downstairs, making tofu. I love tofu and so does Peter. The kitchen smells of cooking soybeans (which happens to be a very pleasant smell) and Peter is clearly delighted with the prospect of serving homemade tofu tonight. I realize that a lot of folks are not that fond of tofu, and very few are fond enough of it to buy their own machine and start a mini in-home manufacturing plant, but that is exactly what Peter has done and it is just one more reason to love him.

Peter also likes to cook his own beans and they are very good. Peter and I are both more or less vegetarian, which means that we generally eat a lot of beans and tofu. This is one more thing we have in common and it also means that traveling across the country poses the occasional problem when dining out. But, while traveling back from the Midwest, we stopped for lunch at a restaurant that had a â&#x20AC;&#x153;vegetarian delightâ&#x20AC;? on the menu: a meal made with black beans and vegetables.

We were surprised. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I probably forgot to mention it,â&#x20AC;? she added.

We could think of nothing to say. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most people know they are out of season,â&#x20AC;? she concluded briskly and walked off.

We had not known that black beans were out of season. We had not even known that there was a black bean season, so the news was doubly disappointing. We wondered who all these people were who knew and how they had gotten the news.

We returned to the Southwest, where the black bean season is considerably longer, lasting at least 12 months of the year. Probably in response to the outof-season bean situation, Peter cooked up 2 pounds of beans. We had beans for breakfast and beans for lunch. Then we had beans for dinner.

While I like beans as much as anyone, I mentioned to Peter that we did not appear to be making a dent in the large vat of beans in the refrigerator. Peter had invited his sisters over to visit and celebrate our engagement and I suggested that we serve them beans.

If you missed the Yellow River Folk Music Festival this year, make sure you plan to attend next year. The Forts is a tremendous asset to our heritage and our area, and the staff and volunteers make sure your visit is well worth the effort to attend. The folk music brings us all back to a simpler time when people actually spent time talking and getting to know one another.

When you come over for the music or any of the other events held at the Forts, if you are interested in the Laura Ingalls books and stories, you could visit the cemetery where her grandparents and aunts and uncles are buried. Right here in Burnett County in the Orange Cemetery or also known as Lakeside Cemetery on Devils Lake lies Lansford and Laura Ingalls, grandparents of Laura, Mary, Carrie and Grace. Much the same as hundreds of other pioneer families, they now rest under a big tree, on a hill overlooking the blue waters of the lake. If she could have made it to the festival she would have gone and she would have danced, too.

had an interesting conversation with a college graduate who is working for a major worldwide agricultural company, in a position that requires working directly with farmers and helping them market their crops.

Ironically, she has no farm background. She says she got the job because there is such a shortage of students in the ag colleges that the agriculture-related companies are recruiting students with degrees in other disciplines such as business and marketing.

She says the opportunities are unlimited for jobs in the U.S. as well as overseas and if a student is willing to relocate, there are plenty of ag-related jobs.

With the small number of students studying agriculture, many of the big ag companies are actively recruiting teachers as well, especially agricultural scientists. There are some estimates that close to half the graduates who have

With the competitive demand for students and teachers specializing in agriculture, Eric Welsh, of the American Society of Agronomy, says there is a shortage of at least 2,000 to 3,000 graduates specializing in agriculture every year.

As result of fewer graduates and companies tapping into the teacher pool, there is now a national program to recruit ag teachers. The State Teach Ag Results Program, or STAR, is working with 11 states including Minnesota to recruit and retain agriculture teachers.

As for the students, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a long list of career opportunities in agricultural engineering, plant sciences, food sciences, agribusiness, animal sciences, entomology, agricultural education and agricultural communication. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a very long list of scholarship

Holidays â&#x20AC;&#x201C; fur-trade style

S

o here you are, ready to whoop it up for the Fourth of July observance. Well, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good thing youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re living in the year 2014 â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;cause in fur-trade times, the Fourth was just the day after July 3 and prior to July 5. I love the old saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the past is a foreign countryâ&#x20AC;? and one area that becomes obvious is in the celebration of holidays. So hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little primer on the role of holidays in the fur-trade society of the years around the time of the original Forts Folle Avoine (1802-05).

Holidays for fur-trade people tended to be of two varieties - those tied to the calendar year and those totally unique to the fur trade. Something thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to overlook in modern times is how distinct that life was. Pointing out the differences is one reason places like Forts Folle Avoine Historical Park exist - itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supposed to serve as a window into furtrade times. Despite the special events designed to augment and hopefully dovetail the activities there, its main function is to provide that view into a unique slice of history.

Celebrations tied to the calendar year tended to focus on those that also were observed back in French-dominated Canada; although the fur-trade by the ODWH V LQFRUSRUDWHG D 6FRWWLVK Ă DLU as well, given that many of the bourgeois (owners/bosses) in the fur trade companies were Scotsmen. Over the years these observances tended to revolve around Christmas, New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, St. Jean Baptiste (June 24) Day, and St. Andrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day (Nov. 30). Of these, the Christmas/New Year celebrations were noteworthy and have been written about in this space. You may have read P\ WDOHV RI WKH Ă \LQJ FDQRH DQG VXFK DW Christmas - stories, camaraderie, music, drink and feasting characterized those times.

But the voyageurs and fur traders, living a unique life tied to the frontier, observed many holidays known only to themselves. Each May, for instance, large brigades of canoes would leave Montreal. Loaded with new trade supplies for the interior, hundreds of canoes would start their summer journey to Mackinac or Grand Portage/Fort Wil-

)ROOH $YRLQH &KURQLFOHV Woodswhimsy the gnome

liam. There they would meet the crews who had wintered, such as those from Forts Folle Avoine during the early 1800s. So on leaving, the occasion was observed with a regale (special ration of rum) and lots of cheering, goodbyes and other well-wishes from those watching the brigades depart. It was akin to watching a manned satellite launch in modern times, the travelers were setting off into â&#x20AC;&#x153;known-but-unknownâ&#x20AC;? lands.

Some never did return, sometimes due to death en route, but more often a newcomer might like the life in the interior, sign up to stay in the interior, marry amongst the tribe they wintered with, have children and become a permanent part of that â&#x20AC;&#x153;otherâ&#x20AC;? life. A whole new nation of mixed-blood people known as the metis (pronounced may-tee) emerged throughout the wilderness.

While history books acknowledge native tribes they usually miss this one, as it blended into the background.

On the other end, smaller celebrations would mark the departures from interior posts for the summer rendezvous points. This would take place sometime in the spring. Unlike the Montreal contingent, these groups would be scattered DORQJ ULYHUZD\V DV IDU DV WKH 3DFLĂ&#x20AC;F slope, so different times of departure were required to meet the Montrealers by late July on Lake Superior, where the crews would exchange furs obtained during the winter for the new trade items brought inland from Montreal.

As many people will note after a tour at Folle Avoine, it was a rough life, and the holiday observances were a time to let it rip, forget the hard part and party.

Summer was, indeed, the rough season

Portage? Yeah, and by the way, each voyageur carried a minimum of two 90pound packs on each jaunt, sometimes up to six per portage. By the time you reached Grand Portage, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be ready to let off a huge amount of steam, or get your hernia dealt with.

So it was at Grand Portage, or its successor post, Fort William, on Lake Superior that the grand celebration of the year would burst forth. Winterers meeting the summer-only paddlers, VWRULHV DQG HVFDSDGHV JDORUH Ă&#x20AC;GGOH DQG bagpipe music, news, more rum regales, and yes, eventually, an exchange of cargoes; then in August, the returns to Montreal and/or the interior.

So the grand celebration of the year, the summer rendezvous, couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen at an outpost like Forts Folle Avoine. Indeed, in summer, no one would likely be around, everyone else would have left for Grand Portage.

But the modern version of Forts Folle Avoine has an ace-up - they are there in summer. And in a few weeks, on Friday-Sunday, July 25-27, their own

version of a rendezvous celebration will bring together hundreds of people seeking to remember, if not the good old days, at least the camaraderie/good times aspect of that long ago â&#x20AC;&#x153;foreign countryâ&#x20AC;? known as the fur-trade years.

Meanwhile, while youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re out and about observing the Fourth of July weekend, the Fortsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; pancake crew will present one of its Sunday morning feeds on Sunday, July 6. Wild rice pancakes and all the appropriate extras will be served up from 8 a.m. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;til 12:30 p.m.

e have adopted a 10-yearold Lhasa apso, her name is Suzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;e. She is a little dog, but not tiny like our 4.5-pound Yorkie, Spike, or our 7-pound shih tzu, Chloe. She is playful and Barb Blodgett likes to sleep right next to you, and in the winter it is great. She is warm and cuddly. But in the summer it is nearly unbearable because she gets so hot. I move her, she moves with me. I push her toward Denny and she comes back to me. When there is a storm she burrows under the covers and snuggles up, feeling safe next to me. As I said, she is older.

Spike is 5 and Chloe is a year and she is a bundle of energy. Suzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;e only has energy when she is running outside. Inside she likes peace and quiet. Chloe canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stand peace and quiet and she is right under Suzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;eâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nose most of the time. The growling begins and that only spurs our shih tzu on.

It is wonderful to have volunteers and if you really want to see something amazing you have to come when Herzl Camp kids are here. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even tell you the pressure this takes off Denny. In February he begins to worry that we will not have enough wood to give away next winter. This past winter (who can forget it) we used the wood for the 2013/14 winter and what should have been the starting wood for next winter.

So, we had to start over. The other day we were having dinner somewhere and a man walked up to talk to â&#x20AC;&#x153;the Woodman.â&#x20AC;?

You buy tickets and tell your friends too. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know anyone who cannot use an extra $2,000. I get excited just thinking about it.

The other day, I left home and it was sunny and beautiful. By the time I got to Webster I could not see a foot in front of me because of the blowing rain and hail. I made it to Siren, slowly, and there it was overcast, but no rain. On the way to Spooner I went through another storm, but by the time I pulled into the nursing home, Spooner had not had a drop.

There I go again, I got off track. Sorry, but it just happens.

Speaking of nursing homes, I love to visit the residents and meet new people and reacquaint myself with old friends. My father-in-law, Ben, is in Benedictine Health Care Center in Spooner. I have made many friends there. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a lot of time to spend with anyone, but just a short visit is always fun.

I got a call yesterday asking why the Dollar Store was closed. I always knew we were the go-to organization for help, but I was not aware that people also thought we had access to the news. I did some checking and by the time you read this, the Dollar Store in Webster should be open again. People were actually having withdrawal, not being able to buy things at a really reduced price. I have to mention the Siren DolODU 6WRUH DQG *UDQWVEXUJ WRR , EX\ JLIW FHUWLĂ&#x20AC;FDWHV because there is always a young mother who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford diapers or personal items. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean to say that just anyone can call, I do check to make sure the need is legitimate. There have been too many times when Interfaith has helped those who could have helped themselves. We are much more careful about that now. If there is truly a need, we will do what we can. We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always help, but when we are able, we will.

The Christmas for Kids committee is meeting and preparing for the big event. Every year someone calls and says he or she has never heard of the possibility of getting Christmas gifts for their children when they cannot provide them. If you know someone who is really in need of help, have them call and we will direct them to the wish lists and see that the kids get something. We are not supporting an entire Christmas, but we can supplement for those who need our help. Wish lists will be out Oct. 1, at the government center lobby. Mark it on your calendar so you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss out. There will be a cutoff date to get the lists to us.

Like us on Facebook and see what is going on with Interfaith Caregivers of Burnett County. If you are not on Facebook, you are behind the times. I was behind and am now up to speed.

Enough for now. Have an amazing Fourth, and be safe.

God bless, Barb

Summer: The Salvation Army remains ready to help POLK COUNTY â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Summer is in full swing and for many of us that means barbecues, picnics, going to the beach, hanging out with friends and maybe taking a little vacation time from work to have a little rest and relaxation. Up in the northern states, summer is what most of us look forward to. Although many take this time to kick back and slow down lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pace, just a little â&#x20AC;Ś for many, the summer is a very scary time.

Did you know that during the summer months, the QXPEHU RI IDPLOLHV Ă&#x20AC;QGLQJ WKHPVHOYHV KRPHOHVV DFWXally increases? For many, the friends or relatives they were once staying with now have told them they have to leave their situation, after all it is not cold out anymore.

The couch the family once stayed on is no longer available.

Did you know that food sources for small children decrease during the summer? Many school-aged children EHQHĂ&#x20AC;W IURP IUHH EUHDNIDVW DQG OXQFK ZKLOH DW VFKRRO During the three-month-long summer, many families will go without food that they used to get for free during the day. The one meal a day the family is used to having to provide is still â&#x20AC;Ś just one meal. For many children that means they are skipping the meals or it means families are having to decide between having electricity or running water or feeding their families. Summertime, for some, can be a very scary time.

The Salvation Army offers hope to families in these situations through their many programs in the local area.

In Somerset, the shelter Grace Place is available to serve DQG KRXVH IDPLOLHV ZKR Ă&#x20AC;QG WKHPVHOYHV KRPHOHVV 7KH Grace Place Shelter is actually expanding this summer to New Richmond with the hope of expanding from 24 people to 64 people who can spend a safe night in shelter. Serenity Home Shelter in Balsam Lake also serves homeless individuals and can house up to 19 of them.

The sad truth is, the shelter is always full with a waiting list but, thankfully the Salvation Army is there. In Siren, the Salvation Army also has another shelter, Faith

House, that serves two families at a time, year-round, again, always full. Butâ&#x20AC;Śthe Salvation Army is there.

The Salvation Army is also offering hope to families by partnering with local churches to provide summer feeding programs where children can receive a free meal every weekday during the summer. One such program is in Amery. The First Baptist Church and the Salvation Army have formed a partnership to feed children called ´$QQLH¡V /XQFKER[ Âľ 7KH SURJUDP Ă&#x20AC;OOV WKH YRLG RI PLVVing meals until schools starts up in the fall.

Although it is summer and many of us are enjoying this very short window of opportunity to relax and get outside, why not consider spending two hours of that time outside by ringing the bell for the Salvation Army so they can continue to work hard to combat poverty in our local area. Bell ringing is the No. 1 way the Salvation Army is able to earn the funds to be able to help individuals, families, children, the hurting in our community. Although the summer bell-ringing campaign is short, as is summer, it is so important to have ringers out there supporting the mission to Do the Most Good. With the help of many and the donations of time, money and prayer, the war on poverty can be won.

To donate your time to ring the bell this summer please log on to ringbells.org or call 715-485-1221 to schedule your time slot. If you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ring this summer but would like to donate to help the Salvation Army mission, please send donations to: 200 Polk County Plaza, Balsam Lake, WI 54810 for Polk County; 203 Church Hill Road, Somerset, WI 54025 for St. Croix County; and PO Box 67, Siren, WI 54872 for Burnett County. - submitted

Sterling Settlers Picnic 2014 CUSHING â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Sunday, June 22, turned out to be a wonderful afternoon. Despite the humidity and rain, attendees remained cool and dry. As many as 60 friends attended the 76th Sterling Settlers Picnic at the Cushing Community Center.

They started promptly at noon, with an abundance of great food and fellowship with friends.

A welcome was given by Shirley Christianson, which she led with the Pledge of Allegiance. Participants then took a moPHQW WR UHĂ HFW RQ WKH ORVV RI IULHQGV ZKR had died this past year: Elsie Berg, Virgil Brenizer and Alberta Hanson, who was a longtime committee member and whose family is still helping to make this picnic a success each year.

Special acknowledgements and gratitude were extended to all who helped make the day possible, including the

Cushing Bank for ice cream, (happy 100th birthday!) and the valued service of the present committee members. Special gratitude was expressed for the retired committee members for their many years of serving, Ione Muehlhauser and Ramona Anderson. Sadly this year, they also missed the Minnesota Lundquist family, who have supplied strawberries for so many, many years. Way back to when they would gather in the barrens.

Kristen Hanson gifted the group with a couple of songs as part of the program.

She is working on a CD and it should be available by next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s picnic. This year the group took the opportunity to hear directly from those in attendance, on a favorite memory of past picnics.

Many took the opportunity to look at the SELHS museum at the Cushing Community Center. There are many photos and memorabilia on display around the room. This year, it featured old toys and games. Many took advantage of the opportunity to join or renew memberships with the SELHS. Some even got some of the Hanson maple syrup. If interested in joining, contact Russ Hanson of the Sterling Eureka Laketown Historical Society.

Each year the group gives awards to the oldest woman, oldest man and the longest married couple. Well this was a year for history making, as Frank and Ruth Boatman took home the awards for all! Oldest woman: Ruth Boatman, 93. Oldest man: Frank Boatman, 94.

The longest married couple went to Frank and Ruth Boatman for 73 years.

Festival veteran Kathryn Cesarz and newcomer Steven Czajkowski comprise two of the fourperson cast who portray what happens in a small town in Maine so far north itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost Canada.

That role, according to Cesarz, was pivotal for her, coming after a tough year in college.

Cesarz grew up near Milwaukee, and her early performance activities included running around the backyard with siblings and neighbor kids pretending to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;Little Buttons, Sugar Pops, Superboy and the Witch,â&#x20AC;? or the characters from â&#x20AC;&#x153;Peter Pan.â&#x20AC;? Cesarz said that KHU KHDUW Ă&#x20AC;UVW RSHQHG SOD\LQJ LQ KHU EDFN\DUG DQG when sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s onstage, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just trying to play around like she did as a kid. Cesarz earned her Bachelor of Science in theater performance graduating summa cum laude from the University of Evansville and studied abroad in Harlaxton, England. Most recently Cesarz taught acting to high schoolers in Milwaukee and tutored for a college prep class. She also does theater in Milwaukee at The Quasimondo Physical Theatre Company and works as a fashion runway model in Chicago. When not at work, Cesarz loves to sing, play piano and accordion, and write poetry, plays and music.

Cesarz is excited to play four different characters in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Almost, Maine.â&#x20AC;? Says Cesarz: â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Almost Maineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is going to be a blast! The characters have this really large quality to them while still remaining honest and real. They are going through stuff that is universal to

Festival Theatreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s artistic director, Jaclyn Johnson, was very pleased when Cesarz agreed to return to Festivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kathryn is an amazing performer, whether as Princess Winnifred in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Mattress,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; the feline burlesque .DWKU\Q &HVDU] dancer Vibrata in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Forum,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; or the characters searching for love in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Almost, Maine.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; When she is onstage the theater is alive. She is always engaged, always growing in her role, always learning from her fellow theater artists. She is intensely curious, and, as a result, those who surround her in her work grow with her. She is a cornerstone of this summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s theater and improv teams and I am so pleased that she will be with us not only for the shows this summer but for â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Miserâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in the fall as well.â&#x20AC;?

James Monroe in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Treasure,â&#x20AC;? a play about Alexander Hamilton, which Czajkowski said he loved because â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was a dashing, quick-witted southern senator.â&#x20AC;? He also appeared as one of the gangster/pastry chefs in â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Drowsy

Chaperoneâ&#x20AC;? and his musicality is showcased by his performances in Wesleyanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all-male a cappela group, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Suspended a Capella.â&#x20AC;?

Czajkowski is enthusiastic about his summer at Festival: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking forward to meeting really awesome people and seeing how I further my skills as an actor. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very happy to come to Festival and perform, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m also ready to learn from those around me and soak in the theater.â&#x20AC;?

Says Johnson of Czajkowski: â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has been amazing to watch the drama of Steven Czajkowski unfold.

He is exploding with enthusiasm, energy and passion for his work. In â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Forumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; he plays, among other roles, a Roman soldier with such expression and comic conviction that his performance is a play within a play.

And in our weekly Friday night improv shows, Steven brings so much emotion and physicality to the stage that the energy level he transmits to his fellow players is off the scale. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait to see him sink his artistic teeth into the characters of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Almost, Maine.â&#x20AC;?

When Czajkowski is not in the theater, he may be found on the golf course or quietly reading American history, focused on the American Revolution and President Theodore Roosevelt.

Members of the public may see Cesarz and Czajkowski at Festival Theatre this summer both in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Forumâ&#x20AC;? which runs through Aug. 16 and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Almost, Maineâ&#x20AC;? which runs through Aug. 17 by ordering tickHWV RQOLQH DW IHVWLYDOWKHDWUH RUJ HPDLOLQJ ER[RIĂ&#x20AC;FH# festivaltheatre.org or by calling the Festival Theatre ER[ RIĂ&#x20AC;FH DW - submitted

Jean Koelz|Staff writer SIREN - On Saturday, June 28, the Burnett Area Arts Group held a sale featuring arts and crafts by local artists. Now in its 10th year, the group boasts approximately 30 members and occasionally hosts a sale under the banner Arts Alive on 35 to promote their work, located at the BAAG Art Center on Hwy. 35 in Siren.

The poster for the event listed what could be found at the sale: FUDIWV Ă&#x20AC;EHUV MHZHOU\ SDLQWLQJV and pottery. But when it comes to such creativity, a brief list doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do justice to the work.

For example, crafts included everything from colorful tie-dyed shirts to quilts that were pains-

taking in detail. And the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;paintingsâ&#x20AC;? did not begin to describe the variety of still lifes, watercolors, abstracts and other pieces that made use of multiple media as well as representing a range of styles.

Preparing for rain, the group displayed almost everything inside. Although the room was small, it was packed with color, texture and inspiration. As full as it was, there was plenty of room for visitors to chat with artists who demonstrated great enthusiasm for their work.

According to the Burnett County events calendar, the next Arts Alive sale will be held at the same location on Saturday, Aug. 2, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Perhaps we

can relate to the hummerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s experienceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; caught in a chain of circumstances that holds us bound.

St. Paul and his ministry partner, Silas, once were physically bound in chains. The book of Acts relates how they were dragged to the marketplace in Philippi, arrested, beaten with rods and thrown into the worst part of prisonâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; all because God used them to free a slave girl from the demons within her.

Once in prison, Paul and Silasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; legs were chained to wooden blocks.

In spite of their pain and extreme discomfort, the two men prayed and sang praises to God. A sudden earthquake and loosening of the prisonersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; chains resulted in a miraculous chain of events. All the men suddenly became free. The jailer, fearing the prisoners

Grandparents should not be used as stand-in parents Q: Our son and his wife both work and have extremely busy lives â&#x20AC;&#x201C; probably too busy. My husband and I frequently take care of our grandchildren so that their mom and dad can keep their hectic pace. We love being with the kids, but do you think this is a healthy arrangement?

Jim: You obviously love your grandkids, and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing wrong with intergenerational cooperation. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good thing for family members to help one another as needs arise. But a great deal depends on the attitudes and expectations of your son and his wife. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re feeling unappreciated, put upon or taken advantage of â&#x20AC;&#x201C; even just a little bit â&#x20AC;&#x201C; then itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safe to say that something needs to change.

If you want your interactions with your son, his wife and your grandchildren to remain positive, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d encourage you to establish appropriate boundaries.

Neither leads to healthy relationships. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also important to remember that while grandparents have a critical role to play in the lives of their grandkids, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best under normal circumstances that they not take on the role of primary caregivers. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; job.

What a story! We may not experience what Paul and Silas went through, but many of us are in chains of another kind. Bad habits and addictions are chains that can keep us from moving forward with peace of mind and body.

yet on letting her start dating, but my wife and I are questioning if weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re being too strict. What do you think?

Dr. Greg Smalley, vice president, FamLO\ 0LQLVWULHV 0\ Ă&#x20AC;UVW VXJJHVWLRQ ZRXOG be to put less stock in age. Birthdays are legal milestones when it comes to a teen driving a car or casting a vote, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re an unreliable measure of maturity. When it comes to our sons and daughters dating, character is king.

At this point, invite your daughter on a date for some ice cream. After youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve broken the ice, bring up the subject of dating. Once youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve respectfully listened to her thoughts, tell her how special she is and that you want only good experiences for her when it comes time for her to date. Let her know youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be observing her (and anyone she goes out with) for evidence of key maturity markers that will indicate sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ready.

Let her know whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on your list, such as integrity, trustworthiness, respect for herself and others, honesty and responsibility. Spell out what these qualities look like, and give both positive reinforcement and corrective feedback based on what you see in the coming months.

That said, you still would be wise to institute some age-related restrictions.

Consider limiting opposite-sex interactions to mixed-group settings, such as a church youth group, until your daugh-

ter has turned 17. This can offer a more secure environment and allow boys and girls the opportunity to learn how to relate and enjoy one anotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s company without the awkwardness and sexual tension that often goes along with unsupervised dates.

Above all, keep the lines of communication open. The teen years arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t simple, but your daughter needs you now more than ever. â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘ Jim Daly is a husband and father, an author, president of Focus on the Family and host of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Focus on the Familyâ&#x20AC;? radio program.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Imaginingâ&#x20AC;? project aims to ignite civic engagement in valley ST. CROIX FALLS - This summer, the St. Croix River Valley makes history.

On July 11, from 4 to 6 p.m. at the St. Croix Falls Public Library, followed by a press conference at the Overlook in downtown St. Croix Falls, community members will gather to envision their community in 2034, one of only 17 cities across the country to host an â&#x20AC;&#x153;Imaginingâ&#x20AC;? with the U.S. Department of Arts and Culture, the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest people-powered department. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When is a meeting not another boring meeting?â&#x20AC;? asks Carissa Samaniego, the USDACâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s local cultural agent, answering her own question: â&#x20AC;&#x153;When itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lively, creative gathering of community members envisioning the year 2034 when artâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s power to engage, connect, uplift and transform has been woven into all aspects of their hometown.â&#x20AC;?

Samaniego said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone is invited to attend. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be an artist, just to care about the future quality of life here in the St. Croix River Valley. We promise serious fun, playful performance, collaborative art-making and great company. Just contact us via email at carissa. samaniego@gmail.com to let us know youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re coming!â&#x20AC;?

Each Imagining is hosted by a local cultural agent, sparking ideas, inspiring

community action, and contributing to a national vision for the U.S. In addition to their local impact, the 17 Imaginings in this summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pilot phase will gather ideas, images and stories to help shape the USDACâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s policy platform and future programs. What happens in the St. Croix River Valley this summer has the potential to affect the whole country. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s national and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s local.
