Celebration this Sunday includes community dinner Sherill Summer| Staff writer WEBSTER - The Catholic church in Webster, St. John the Baptist, will celebrate its 100th anniversary this Sunday, July 12. A 10 a.m. Mass will be followed by a community dinner at the Webster Community Center. The village of Webster will not celebrate its 100-year anniversary until next year, so the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history goes back further than the history of Webster itself. And, if counting the years before the formal incorporation, the Catholic presence was in the area a generation before Webster was formed, especially if taking into consideration the Webster Area Catholic Community as a whole. The Webster church has always been part of a tri-parish community that includes Webster, Danbury and Crescent Lake near A and H. The Danbury church, Our Lady of Perpetual Help, has already celebrated its 100th year. Even if the Danbury church is older, Webster has always been the base for the larger Catholic community, and for a time, Webster was home base far beyond the tri-parish. Church history notes that Father Shaney lived in Webster and was the priest in charge of not only the three parishes, but also Frederic, Grantsburg, Clam Falls, South Range, Lake Nebagamon, and even Winneboujou, which is located along Hwy. 27, south of Brule. = 0= 4867C A>>< A42C>AH F0B 1D8;C 039024=C C> C74 OABC 0C7>lic church that was also the living quarters for Frederic, Grantsburg and Clam Falls pastor of the Missions. *74 OABC 0C7>;82 27DA27 1D8;C 8= 8B BC8;; BC0=38=6 C 8B ;>20C43 >=4 block west of the current church and is now a private residence.

They sip the dew and tease the bees By swinging freely in the breeze And hiding midst the tendriled vine As skyward green and purple climb. The midday heat has stopped the show As breeze and dew and shade must go And dare we say that now perhaps Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for morning glory naps.

Shade, It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always so precious. Like love or chocolate You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss it until itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gone So, you stand and wonder What you need to do to bring it back. Later, give or take ten years, Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll look back And think about How we got here from there And about things sweet Like love and chocolate And shade.

About the writer: Encouragement by his parents to become an avid reader at an early age fostered Denis Simonsenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love for books and an appreciation for both prose and poetry. He has always enjoyed creative writing but after retiring he expanded his horizons by joining other writers and sharing his sense of creativity. Poetry is his passion, but he enjoys occasionally composing a short story or recalling on paper events that have occurred in his past. Whatever he writes, he tends to emphasize feelings and emotions that go along with the experiences and places. The two poems he shares here are from his recently published book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Patchwork Poetry.â&#x20AC;? Denis lives near Siren with his wife, Liz. He has two grown children and two grandchildren. Writerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Carousel, a revolving menagerie of pieces for your enjoyment, is created by participants in Carolyn Wedinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Write Right Now WITC Community Education classes in Frederic and Luck.

ST. CROIX FALLS - Recently, Northern Waters Learning received a community grant from the St. Croix Falls Walmart. The grant will be used to fund a new NWL program for 21st century career and college readiness. NWLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s executive director, Jill Leahy, explains, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We see a need to connect high school students and adult learners with professionals and employers in the local communities. This program will allow students to see what career paths local community members took and what education was necessary to reach that position.

Red Cross seeks blood donations to offset seasonal decline POLK COUNTY â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The American Red Cross urges eligible donors to help offset a seasonal decline in donations and prevent a shortage this summer by giving blood. During June, July and August, there are about two fewer donors than needed at each Red Cross blood drive. This can add up to more than 100,000 fewer donations during the summer. Many schools that host blood drives are out of session and vacation schedules can make regular donors less available, both contributing to the seasonal decline. Donors of all blood types â&#x20AC;&#x201C; especially those with types AB, O negative, A negative and B negative â&#x20AC;&#x201C; are needed to help ensure blood products are available to hospital patients this summer. Type AB donors have the universal plasma type, which can be given to patients of all blood types. Plasma helps maintain blood pressure and supplies critical proteins for clotting immunity. It is often needed for burn, trauma and cancer patients. Upcoming blood donation opportunities in Polk County include: Centuria, Monday, July 20, from 1:30-6:30 p.m. at Holy Trin-

Volunteers revitalize local building in Luck LUCK - A few months ago, Wild Rivers Habitat for Humanity received a phone call from the Home and Away Ministries organization in Luck. The Home and Away Ministries building was in great need of a new coat of paint. The only problem was that the building is large and they needed a lot of help. Through a partnership between WRHFH, the Herzl Camp in Webster and Home and Away Ministries, a daylong painting event was planned for Tuesday, June 29.

Wild Rivers Habitat for Humanity partnered with Herzl Camp and Home and Away Ministries through WRHFHâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Neighborhood Revitalization Initiative. Wild Rivers Habitat for Humanity believes that for families to succeed, sometimes the dynamics of their neighborhoods have to change.

New churches were built in Webster and Crescent Lake and a new wing was built on the Danbury church during his time in the Webster Area Catholic Communities. The cornerstone for the current St. John the Baptist Church was laid in 1960, three years before Vatican IIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s introduction of vernacular Mass. Even then there was movement in the church to better include the congregation in the Mass, so the altar at the new church was built away from the west wall so that the priest could face the congregation. Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien remembers the old-timers at the Webster church complaining about the change in the altar location and later, after Vatican II, the shift away from the Latin Mass. But if some of the congregation did not like the new style sweeping the Catholic Church, others were impressed with the Webster churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s design. In 1963 the church received a Cardinal Lercaro silver medal for excellence in architecture and liturgical arrangement. Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien also remembers that after the new sanctuary was in use, the old church was used for meals after funerals and such, requiring the congregation to cross the parking lot between the old and new churches. = 0 <D;C8?DA?>B4 24=C4A C70C 7>DB43 0 38=8=6 A>>< 2;0BBA>>= >5O24B 0=3 27DA27 >E4AP>F F0B 1D8;C *74 BC08=43 6;0BB F8=3>FB 5A>< C74 27DA27 F4A4 8=2>A?>A0C43 8=C> C74 0338C8>= A>< then on, the church building that was so forward looking for its time also held the prized windows from the old, traditional church. %=4 O=0; =>C4 5A>< C74 0C7>;82 27DA27NB 78BC>AH *74 distinctive bell tower with the three bells that mark the hours in Webster was built in 1972.

Catch a Dream makes fishing memories SHELL LAKE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Regional Hospice of Spooner/Grantsburg recently was honored to grant a Catch a Dream to one of their Regional Hospice patients. After a terminal diagnosis, Hospice became involved with Gary Kibler in April. Kibler expressed his wish to make the best of each good day, and spend as much time as he could with his grandchildren this summer. Kiblerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Regional Hospice registered nurse talked to him about Regional Hospiceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Catch a Dream program. Regional Hospice Services offer a little gift of love. They believe that quality of life can be enhanced through the simplest things life has to offer, such as a candlelit dinner for two, rental of a golf cart so a patient can remain mobile in their own yard, a sailboat ride, or in Kiblerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case, a guided OB78=6 CA8? >= )74;; "0:4 F8C7 78B CF> grandsons, Brendan and Josh Helstern.

They then began the battle to reclaim the farm from nature, and to develop it as a suitable place for eventual retirement. During those early years they were assisted in many ways by their neighbors who became friends: Dalan and Dora Cimmers and Clifford and Alice Baldwin. Ten acres were put into white pine, the grass was mowed, gardens were started, a new house was built, and Doc began what would be a lengthy tenure with the Grantsburg Lumber softball team.

+( $ -) Our best defense When people are desperate enough, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do almost anything to survive. The pioneering Donner and Reed families, for instance, resorted to cannibalism in order to survive starvation while they were stranded without food for weeks in the snow-choked California Sierras. Sadly, we often think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re desperate, so we resort to actions we shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. The Old Testament tells of Jacobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brother, Esau, who came home hungry enough to trade his valuable birthright, the right to claim his fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inheritance, for a bowl of soup. How easily we yield to temptation because we take our eyes off a moreworthy prize. Think about Jesus when he was tempted by Satan in the wilder-

Be wary of loaning money to friends or family members Q: Do you think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wise to have loans among family members, for example, brother to brother, adult to child, parent to child, etc.? Jim: Financial counselor Ron Blue highlights one all-important point to bear in mind in any situation like the one youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re envisioning: Whenever money is loaned, the relationship between the parties involved changes. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no lon longer simply brother-sister, father-son or friend-friend, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s borrower-lender. When you loan money to a family mem member, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve introduced another level of complexity into the relationship. This would also apply in the case of cosigning on a loan for a family member, in other words, putting yourself in the position of becoming a surety for that personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s debt. This is, in effect, the same thing as lending the money yourself. If a member of your family is truly in need, you may want to seriously con consider the option of simply giving him the money. Giving generously, with no strings attached, is a commendable and positive virtue. However, if you have reasons for be believing that this would be impractical or

He could have commanded the stones under his feet to become bread, as the devil tried to persuade him to do. Instead, he used Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s words to counter the temptation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is written, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of >3 NL #0CC74F When tempted to lay claim to and prove his authority by jumping off a

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not saying that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wrong to get into an arrangement like this, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something that needs to be approached with caution and discernment. â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘ Q: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a stay-at-home mom and my husband works hard to support our family, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re living on a shoestring budget. How can I give my kids the chance to try different activities and programs when we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have much money? I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want them to miss out on life-enriching opportunities. Greg Smalley, vice president, Fam Family Ministries: The happiest, most well-

cliff so angels would rescue him, Jesus refused, again by using his Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s words. The devilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third temptation appealed to manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perceived need for things. Imagine Jesus, creator and owner of everything with his father, aware of having been stripped of lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comforts and possessions. Yet again, he fought the temptation. Rather than giving in to the devilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request to worship him, for the sake of regaining all heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d lost, Jesus quoted Scripture. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Away with you, Satan! For it is writ written, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;You shall worship the Lord your >3 0=3 78< >=;H H>D B70;; B4AE4 NL #0CC74F We can be mindful each day of Jesusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; example of using Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s powerful word against any temptation we face. Whether weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hungry, lonely, disappointed, in distress or bondage, we

?3EC ?> D85 61=9<I Jim Daly adjusted children arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t those who are involved in a million different activities and who own every tech device on the market. Rather, the kids who thrive best are those who have committed, caring parents who spend time with them on a regular basis and emphasize the im importance of character over comfort and consumerism. So if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re feeling guilty because you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t buy your kids every everything our culture says they need â&#x20AC;&#x201C; donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. There are dozens of ways you can provide stimulating activities for your children that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cost much money. A great place to start is your local library. Books and DVDs can introduce them to people and places theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never dreamed of be before. If theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re old enough, they can get their personal library cards and select their own materials to check out. You should also take advantage of public museums, science centers and zoos in your area, most of which offer low-cost or free childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s programs. If you live in a rural location, this may involve a special weekend trip once in a

donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to give in to or resort to the devilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s temptations. His answers will always, always leave us shortchanged and wanting something better. And God promises us something better in the form of righteousness, right standing with him and the undisputed peace and joy that come from it. Nothing can top that. What is your defense against any C4<?C0C8>=B H>D 5024 "4CNB 5>;;>F 4BDBN example and use the powerful word of God, with which we can overcome every one of them.

while, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s well worth the time and effort. Finally, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t overlook the world of music and drama.

Join us for Kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Activities, Face and Hair Painting, DJ, Bingo, Silent Auction Randi suffered a traumatic brain injury and shattered pelvis in an auto accident on July 11, 2014. She was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in October and married in November. Even with insurance, MS medications run from $200 - $1,000 per month. This does not include Randiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office visits with her MS doctor, pain management specialist or orthopedic surgeon. Randiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 22 screws and 3 plates make her very vulnerable to future surgeries. She is currently unable to work on a regular basis and the future of MS patients is always uncertain.

Please join us to help Randi and to celebrate her optimistic, grateful and enthusiastic attitude in the face of all of her new challenges! 1 4@ #@
