CROIX FALLS – There is a secret, rarely seen world hidden inside the bowels of the historic 1917 Civic Auditorium - a world that very few people ever really see or witness, and some of it is soon to be gone forever ... in a good way. Staff at the Festival Theatre Company gave an unprecedented view behind the scenes, as well as a frank discussion on what will happen to the 25-year-old Festival Theatre Company during the one year, at least, of Civic Auditorium reconstruction and upgrades.

7KH +\SKHQ DQG RWKHU XQLTXH DVSHFWV Downtown St. Croix Falls is abuzz with talk and speculation on the almost sure thing of a redevelopment project with 40-room boutique hotel, restaurant and event venue, tied to the adjacent Civic Auditorium beside it. The two structures will eventually be connected together, via a so-called and already catchy nickname of “The Hyphen.â€?

Yes, come Jan. 1, 2016, the Civic Auditorium will be WHQDQW IUHH IRU WKH Ă€UVW WLPH LQ GHFDGHV 7KDW HPSWLQHVV means the whole theater will be reconstructed, enhanced, refurbished and improved, in so many ways it requires at least a year, and possibly more. That time without any plays, concerts or other activities going on inside gives them free rein to do some dramatic enhancements and improvements, as part of a multimillion dollar project that incorporates a hotel and more. “Everything (in plans and renderings) we’ve seen has been incredible, really amazing,â€? stated Festival artistic director Jaclyn Johnson.

7KH KRPHOHVV FRPSDQ\ Johnson, Fuchs and others are hard at work planning their 2016 season and beyond. The simple fact of not having their current theatrical “home� for at least a year is not only a giant challenge, it gives them a truly open book on where to present theater during that “lost� year.

“We’re staying focused,â€? Fuchs said confidently. “We’re committed and have 25 years of high-quality theater to maintain.â€? But the reality is that many people consider or even call the old Civic Auditorium the “Festival,â€? as it has become synonymous with the old building’s identity for a quarter century. Johnson admits that for many people, they associate the Festival Theatre Company with the aged, plush red velvet seats of the Civic. “We’re so connected to thinking theater is only in a dark room,â€? she said, adding later that the homelessness is a challenge they are not only prepared to accept, but are now sort of looking forward to. “I can make any place a theater!â€? Fuchs said the lack of a home has meant they may need to adjust certain aspects of the company, and likely inFOXGHV WKH UHQWDO RI VWRUHIURQW ER[ RIĂ€FH VSDFH LQ GRZQtown St. Croix Falls, but many of the more obvious possible performance venues have proved to be hugely expensive, which offers the company another challenge, and also led to a broad-based search for other venues in the St. Croix Valley, possibly several. Fuchs admits they have a close tie to St. Croix Falls, but they almost surely will have to perform or host concerts in some more atypical venues, from churches to vacant warehouses, community centers, even outdoors or in existing businesses, even the neighboring funeral home was mentioned. “For shows, music and venues, a theater can be any performing space,â€? Johnson said, noting how they turned the former St. Croix Falls Library space in the Civic basement into the very popular, smaller stage space called The Elbow Room, used for smaller shows and improv, as well as instructional space for youth and other classes. “We’ve been doing some off-site (events) for three years, already,â€? Johnson added.

Theatre/from page 1 It is safe to assume that most people have no idea how far out the company must plan for a show, and the full season of shows. Beyond the auditioning, planning, construction and assembling a cast, they also have to coordinate those cast members into the other shows for that season. Not having a predictable space in which to perform that full season of shows is an even more interesting challenge. “People expect us to maintain our level of quality,� Fuchs said. “They expect that from us.� Johnson and Fuchs have been busy searching possible performance venues, and said they are expecting to announce those venues at the end of the current season.

“It doesn’t help to be too tall here,â€?

The Lodge of Taylors Falls to offer Dusty Shoe Tours TAYLORS FALLS, Minn. – The Lodge of Taylors Falls, a new assisted living community currently under construction at 1051 Mulberry St. in Taylors Falls, Minn., will be offering a chance for the community to capture a sneak peek of the new building on Saturdays, Aug. 8 and Aug. 22. The Sneak Peek Dusty Shoe Tours event will be hosted from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on both dates. This event will give the community a very early opportunity to preview the new assisted living community which is slated to open early fall

of 2015. The Lodge of Taylors Falls is nestled on three acres of woods located just off Mulberry Street in the quaint tourist destination town of Taylors Falls. Elders who call The Lodge home will have daily access to the spa, which includes a soaking whirlpool tub and on-site hair care. The outdoor walking paths will be a great option for bird or nature lovers. Each apartment suite features a tea kitchen, living room, bedroom and bathroom with shower as well as a wearable personal response

pendant with state-of-the-art fall sensor technology. Health-care services will be delivered in the privacy of each elder’s apartment and directed by a registered nurse who has received orders from the elder’s primary care physician. “I am so excited towards the progress of this new option for living and care in the Taylors Falls community. I can’t wait to show people a sneak peek at what is yet to come at The Lodge,� states Carla Ellerman, manager of The Lodge of Taylors Falls.

The Lodge of Taylors Falls is now accepting reservations for apartments. The community is managed by the Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society. The Good Samaritan Society’s mission is to share God’s love in word and deed by providing shelter and supportive services to older persons and others in need, believing that “In Christ’s love, everyone is someone.� - submitted

Rumpel states, “We are excited to have the opportunity to partner with the Burnett County Farmers Market to increase access to farm-fresh, locally grown foods. As the

sole hospital health-care provider in Burnett County, we have an important role to play in not only treating illness, but in addressing the root causes through collaboration with community stakeholders. Supporting nutritious diets by making fresh produce available locally is one way we can help improve the health of those we serve.� Rumpel is also a co-facilitator of Healthy Burnett, a community coalition BMC formed in partnership with Burnett County Department of Health and Human Services-Public Health to address

here is a side of me that prefers to have some idea where we are going and how we are going to get there as well as some reasonable agenda when we do arrive. That side of me likes reservations and my wife and I have been married for more years than we haven’t been married. In her defense, having a reservation can be reassuring and has a way of calming frayed nerves that have been chaffed and fatigued from travel. On the other hand, I like the excitement of just going. I like to think of life as a journey, not a destination, and all of the fun is in the process and not the arrival at the end. In preparation for our planned excursion around Lake Superior, we sat down with pen and paper and a seemingly endless array of guides and maps and articles and ideas about the best circle tour ever. Every website, every story had a “must-see� idea and if you were planning on circumnavigating the big lake then you simply had to stop at these spots. The problem for us was the list of must-see spots was growing excessively long and if there was any hope of completing the trip before the onset of winter, we had to start pruning the

&ROG WXUNH\ John W. Ingalls, MD list back to something manageable. The second problem we encountered early on in the planning stage was how to determine where we might end up at the close of the day or when our traveling clock had expired. We take active vacations or at least we prefer them to a stare-out-the-window and buy-a-postcard travel option.

Our second portion of the plan was just as simple, travel short distances and stop early in the day and the third part was equally as liberating, don’t worry. How did it work? Perfectly! I won’t say we were entirely ignorant about possible stopovers. We did formulate a vague but workable plan at the beginning of each day and adjusted as we went. Some campsites we considered were often fully booked and more often than not these turned out to be convenient, although inferior.

While the crews were busy swapping cargoes, the traders held their annual business meeting. Following some days of rowdy partying between crews, the routes were reversed and all headed back to their duties for the rest of the year. Of course, given the reliance on waterway transport, they had to get this all accomplished in summer to avoid freeze-up. This arrangement made for a twist in how they calculated their years. Their business seasons overlapped in summer, with these cargo trade swaps the fulcrum of the changeover. For example, the crews headed for Forts Folle Avoine from Grand Portage in the summer of 1803 wouldn’t trade the goods until the ZLQWHU DQG WKH QRUPDO FDOHQGDU Ă LSSHG to the new year.

67 &52,; )$//6 ² 7KH Ă€QDO VKRZ RI WKH VXPPHU “A Streetcar Named Desire,â€? directed by Mark Baer, opens Saturday, Aug. 1. Featuring artistic director Jaclyn June Johnson as the tragic heroine Blanche DuBois, Streetcar includes many other familiar faces from the summer company, such as Lis Athas and Jerry Kurek. Athas grew up in the small town of Blue Grass, Iowa, and is a lifelong actor, “I’ve always been performing; I used to pretend I was Ariel and sing “The Little Mermaidâ€? in the bathtub or the pool.â€? Athas recently graduated from Luther College where she studied theater and management and was a 2015 recipient of the Helen Adams Bodensteiner Award for excellence in theater – an award that recognizes student leadership and artistic promise. “Not only has Lis shared talents on our stage, she has a great attention to detail and organization and has used those additional skills to aid the company in properties and scenic dressing,â€?says Johnson. â€?Having a positive, detail-oriented individual like Lis on our team this summer has been a joy and an asset.

Frederic Arts 2015 Art Medley is on tour $0(5< :(%67(5 ² (LJKW\ HLJKW DUWists created 94 pieces of framed art for the sixth-annual Frederic Art Medley currently on tour around the region. After the opening weekend in June and display at the Frederic Library, the collection traveled to Amery, then to St. Croix Falls Library until this Friday. It will be in Webster at the Fresh Start Coffee Roasters July 31 through Aug. 13. In addition to 56 Polk County artists, there are frames by 26 Burnett County artists, four by artists from other nearby Wisconsin communities, and eight from Minnesota – as far away as Eden Prairie. That is an increase of more than 20 percent participation compared to last year. “The variety of art in the boxes this year is impressive,â€? said Nancy Buley, Art Medley project manager. During the Art Medley’s stay in Webster, the public is invited to meet Burnett County artists at a special reception on Thursday, Aug. 6. from 4:30 – 6:30 p.m. at the Main St. coffee shop. The exhibit and the reception are free and open to the public. The Art Medley, a project of Frederic Arts, Inc., gives artists an opportunity for creative expression using only a framed 6-inch square space. Artists can use any medium they like. The artwork can be three-dimensional, protruding from the IURQW RI WKH IUDPH EXW WKH UHVW PXVW Ă€W within the 6â€?-by-6â€? space. The frame can be painted, sealed, carved or left natural. The frames are constructed from recycled high quality wood donated by Frederic Arts member and artisan woodworker Mark Buley.

bought until you pick it up at the Frederic arts and crafts show on Aug. 15.� After that date, frames can be picked up at the Frederic Library and in Webster.

Three out of four American adults favor making 21 the minimum age for sale of tobacco products Seven in 10 cigarette smokers favor raising age of sale STATEWIDE – Three out of four American adults—including 7 in 10 cigarette smokers—favor raising the minimum age of sale for all tobacco products to 21, according to an article by the CDC published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine. “No one wants to see young people start down a path of lifetime addiction to tobacco,� said Elizabeth Hagen, health educator. “It’s no surprise that a majority of Americans support measures like this

one, which could have a life-changing impact for millions of kids.� In most states, the minimum age of sale for tobacco is 18; in Alabama, Alaska, New Jersey and Utah the minimum age of sale is 19. One state—Hawaii—currently prohibits sales of tobacco products to youth under the age of 21. Additionally, several cities and counties across the U.S. have adopted laws raising the minimum age to 21, starting with Needham, Mass., in 2005. New York City; Hawaii County, Hawaii; Evanston, Ill.; Englewood, N. J.; Columbia, Mo.; and several other communities in Massachusetts later followed suit.

“The state of Hawaii and many cities around the nation are raising the purchase age to keep tobacco out of kids’ hands. Their success is leading to growLQJ FRQVHQVXV DURXQG WKH EHQHĂ€WV RI UDLVing the minimum age,â€? said Hagen More than 90 percent of adult smokers start before the age of 19. A recent study from the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences found that raising the minimum age to purchase tobacco products to 21 would prevent a quarter of a million premature deaths in this country by the end of the century. The study also found that raising the minimum age to buy tobacco would result in

an estimated 25-percent decrease in 15- to 17-year-olds beginning to use tobacco. Smoking continues to be the leading cause of preventable death and disease across the country and in our state. Each year, 7,900 Wisconsinites die from tobacco-related illnesses and smoking costs Wisconsin residents nearly $2.66 billion annually in health-care expenses.

Shooting Stars 4-H learns by doing with S.T.E.M. and the Ag Innovators challenge BALSAM LAKE – Shooting Stars 4-H members Lauren Frokjer and Daniel Hasselquist stepped up to the challenge of learning about the Ag Innovators Experience and took their knowledge and the challenge back to Unity High School and the Shooting Stars 4-H Club. “Population trends project the world population will grow by 2 billion in the next 40 years, requiring a 70-percent increase in food production to feed the world. To meet this demand, the future generation of farmers, scientists and other professionals will need to be ag innovators. That’s where the 4-H Ag Innovators Experience comes in. Sponsored by National 4-H Council and Monsanto, the Ag Innovators Experience is a program that reaches 10,000 youth in a select number of states with a strong agricultural industry that helps young people develop the professional skills needed to feed a growing world population. It ties in relevant concepts like aquaculture and environmental stewardship with a hands-on activity that makes learning fun and encourages young people to pursue a career LQ DJULFXOWXUH DQG WHFKQLFDO Ă€HOGV The 2015 Ag Innovators Experience will be the Water Windmill Challenge which teaches 4-H youth about the importance of water for food production. Frokjer and Hasselquist took a class on how to teach and share this challenge. Using the concepts they learned from the class and the kits that were provided, they taught over 20 classes at Unity High School as well as shared the challenge with 20 youth from the Shooting Stars 4-H Club. The challenge focuses on how to build a structure that will hold 25 pounds with the materials provided and no instructions. The materials are a few small dowels, zip ties, popsicle sticks, a wood punch, a pencil, a lanyard and a tack. The goal is to have the youth use their imagination and ingenuity to learn about physics and technology. At the end of the building process, structures that pass the 25pound test are then weighed and calculations are done to show how the laws of phys/DXUHQ JXLGHV D + PHPEHU RQ WKH FKDOOHQJH ics can work.

False humility exists, too. The desire to appear humble—when we say, “Oh, it was nothing,â€? rather than, “Thank you for the complimentâ€?—is as much a symptom of pride as bragging.

Jesus taught that we should not judge others. “And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye?
