Second man could be charged in armed robbery No charges yet against alleged robber BURNETT COUNTY - As of \HW QR FKDUJHV KDYH EHHQ Ă&#x20AC;OHG against Tony Soderquist, the 25-yearold rural Grantsburg man who allegedly robbed the south Siren Holiday gas station on Friday, June 27.

7RQ\ 6RGHUTXLVW A $25,000 cash bail was set in a bail hearing held Tuesday, July 1, but Soderquist remains in custody. He could appear in the Burnett County Courtroom for an initial appearance as early as today, Wednesday, July 9.

A second man may also be charged in connection with the armed robbery. Justin Landsberger, 18, Siren, was driving the vehicle the night of the armed robbery, although he is not suspected of knowing anything about Soderquistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plans to rob the gas station beforehand.

According to authorities, Soderquist entered the south Holiday store just after 1 a.m. and demanded money from the cashier. Soderquist brandished a gun during the robbery.

The Siren Police Department secured a search warrant for Landsbergerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residence on Mud Hen Lake Road. The gun used in the robbery was found in the car Landsberger was driving and the coat, hat and sunglasses Soderquist used in the armed robbery were found in the Landsberger residence.

If Landsberger is charged, it will be as a party to a crime. Sherill Summer

Scholz 9LFWRULD +HQGHUVRQ then went over the minutiae of the incident, how it had snowed earlier, was very windy and Henderson had chosen to ride with Krenz instead of Mergens, due to a previous leg injury. She noted how they were on their way to a gas station, but Krenz lost sight of Mergens, who he was supposed to be following.

She noted that Krenz then saw Mergenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tracks and followed them but suddenly saw something, took a hard left turn and PLVVHG WKH Ă&#x20AC;VK KRXVH EXW WKDW Henderson could not hang on and slipped off the sled, striking her head hard on the ice shack. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nick gave CPR until others showed up.

Scholz pointed out that while Krenzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s BAC was just above the legal limit, Hendersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s was determined to be nearly four times the legal limit at .315 percent, questioning whether she was HYHQ DZDNH ZKHQ VKH Ă HZ RII the machine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dispute the fact that there should be punishment for such a serious offense,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But Nick has done everything he can to make it right, in spite of his knowing that nothing he can do can ever make it right.â&#x20AC;?

She added that Krenz has been a model citizen, was not only an Eagle Scout, but had earned a rare Palm Award beyond the Eagle designation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even know you could go higher than an Eagle Scout,â&#x20AC;? she said, adding that Krenz lost a friend and will forever carry her death on his conscience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No amount of punishment will change that,â&#x20AC;? she said with a sigh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That guilt is a lifelong punishment ... donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow this accident to claim another soul.

Let him learn from his mistakes.â&#x20AC;?

He stayed mute Krenz chose not to speak on his own behalf, but in a sense, GaleWyrick spoke for him, stating that in 12 years on the bench she had never seen a PSI so lacking in negative background. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Part of a PSI is its value and more about him, his criminal history,â&#x20AC;? GaleWyrick said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But there is nothing. Nothing. Not even a speeding ticket.â&#x20AC;?

She called his conduct that night â&#x20AC;&#x153;an anomaly, not his usual action.â&#x20AC;?

The judge also noted his im-

GaleWyrick noted that Krenz told police on the scene he did not feel impaired at the time or he wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have driven her, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and I believe him.â&#x20AC;?

However, she said we would never know if the tragedy would have occurred if Krenz was stone sober, and might have been able to swerve earlier, saving Hendersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impact with the ice shack.

As for protection of the public, she speculated that Krenz would likely never drink again, and hoped he used his sad tragedy as an example to all. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do something positive to honor her (Hendersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) memory,â&#x20AC;? she said to Krenz and to Hendersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family and friends in the courtroom gallery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Never again get behind the wheel if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had anything, anything to drink.â&#x20AC;? $ UHOXFWDQW VHQWHQFLQJ In the end, GaleWyrick imposed three years of probation, with six months of jail time and six months banked in case he does not comply with his probaWLRQ DV ZHOO DV LQ Ă&#x20AC;QHV He must also do 75 hours of community service, at least 25 hours annually, and suggested public speaking about his incident.

GaleWyrick then turned to the Henderson family, and, trying to hold back tears, said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wish I had some perfect words for the family, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ... We all weep with you.â&#x20AC;?

Unity to explore establishing a charter school

Mary Stirrat | Staff writer BALSAM LAKE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Unity School has a lot to offer, and there may be some different avenues out there through which the school can better serve students, district Administrator Brandon Robinson proposed to the school board Tuesday evening, July 8.

Different students learn in different ways, or learn better in different environments, he pointed out, and one way to better facilitate education could be by establishing a charter school. The idea has been discussed before, Robinson said, but not seriously explored, and he was looking for approval to look into funding, grants and the application process.

He asked whether there would be enough interest to create a successful charter school at Unity, and whether the idea is being discussed to bring in â&#x20AC;&#x153;additional revenue streams.â&#x20AC;?

Robinson pointed out that he was just seeking the go-ahead to look into funding and the application process, not approval for a charter school. He said that when the district initiated the Alternative Diploma Program 10 years ago it looked into establishing it as a charter school. It was decided at that time to keep the ADP within the high school.

The board directed Robinson to investigate and report back at a future meeting.

$OWHUQDWLYH 'LSORPD 3URJUDP Unityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Alternative Diploma Program, now 10 years old, has graduated more than 140 students. Now, however, changing technology and changing needs mean changes in the program.

Unityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program has served as a model for successful programs throughout the area, said high school Principal Jason Cress, and it attracts students from outside the district as well as within. The demand from non-Unity students, he said, could offer possibilities for additional open enrollment into the district. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a lot of different options weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking at,â&#x20AC;? Cress said.

In particular, an off-site location is being considered to give ADP students their own space. This would also open up space at the school, a â&#x20AC;&#x153;natural progressionâ&#x20AC;? in light of all the other events happening. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Things can get chaotic at times,â&#x20AC;? said Cress. +LJK VFKRRO 3ULQFLSDO -DVRQ &UHVV H[SODLQV Cress also discussed a change in staffFKDQJHV LQ WKH $OWHUQDWLYH 'LSORPD 3URJUDP ing for the program. In the past there has

been one teacher and one supervisor each night. The program is four days a week, held after regular school hours, with a different teacher on different nights. There is only one supervisor, however, which PHDQV WKDW WKH SHUVRQ Ă&#x20AC;OOLQJ WKDW SRVLWLRQ must commit to a heavy work schedule.

Instead, Cress proposed team teaching, allowing the two teachers each night to take turns teaching, preparing and supervising. More guest speakers would be incorporated to â&#x20AC;&#x153;share a real-world, project-based approach.â&#x20AC;?

Finally, he said, the program would incorporate technology to a greater degree, to maximize the studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; time and to grow student skills.

The board approved the recommended changes in the program. Board President Debbie Peterson commented, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the changes are needed, after 10 years.â&#x20AC;?

(OHPHQWDU\ VHFWLRQV Projected enrollment in elementary school for the upcoming school year was reviewed by the board, with discussion centering on prekindergarten and second grade.

Should numbers increase much in either of these two grades, according to information presented by elementary Principal Zach Fugate, an additional teacher may be needed. In order to be eligible for the SAGE program, which provides funding for small class sizes, there can be no more than 18 students per section. SAGE funding is available for pre-K through third grade.

The prekindergarten roundup held earlier this year resulted in a projected enrollment of 67 students. Having four pre-K sections would mean 16 or 17 students in each class, so the registration of several additional students would mean that class size would exceed 18.

At this time the number of students expected for second grade is at 70, which means there would be 17 or 18 students in each of four sections. Registration of just a few more students would put the class size over the SAGE limit.

Other current enrollment estimations in the elementary school are 59 for kinGHUJDUWHQ IRU Ă&#x20AC;UVW JUDGH IRU WKLUG grade and 83 for fourth grade.

The board gave Fugate the latitude to hire an additional teacher where necessary.

3HUVRQQHO With thanks for her 17 years of service to the Unity School District, the board accepted the retirement resignation of elementary teacher Donna Hauth. Also accepted were the resignations of high school spe8QLW\ 6FKRRO %RDUG RI cial education teacher (GXFDWLRQ 3UHVLGHQW 'HE Michael Mc- ELH 3HWHUVRQ OLVWHQV WR D Cann and high GLVFXVVLRQ RQ SURMHFWHG HQ school English UROOPHQW LQ WKH HOHPHQWDU\ teacher Katie VFKRRO Peck.

The board approved the hiring of Timothy Stanton as groundskeeper and Brittany Bosak as high school special education teacher. Bosak is a 2003 Unity graduate, and has spent the past two years with Northwest Passage.

2WKHU EXVLQHVV â&#x20AC;˘ As the result of a closed session, the board voted to lay off support staff due to budgetary considerations. â&#x20AC;˘ Robinson reported that Unity is slated to lose another 12.5 percent in state aid for the 2014-15 school year. The district is very excited about the grants it has received, particularly a physical education grant and a grant for an after-school program, but Robinson noted that these JUDQWV DUH IRU VSHFLĂ&#x20AC;F SXUSRVHV ´7KH grants do not offset tax revenue for running the school,â&#x20AC;? agreed Moore. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t offset any educational dollars.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ For the past two years, said Robinson, Unity has been one of 240 school districts to participate in pilot testing of Educator Effectiveness, Wisconsinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comprehensive evaluation system for teachers and principals. The system will be implemented statewide beginning with the upcoming school year. According to Robinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report, which can be found on Unityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Educator Effectiveness is designed to support the continuous improvement of educator practice that leads to improved student learning.â&#x20AC;?

Committee of the whole, a chance for discussions

Need for space, growth, possible share with village hall Greg Marsten | Staff writer DRESSER â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The results of the recent Dresser Library space needs study were not surprising to anyone, it seems, but where it goes in the near future is up in the air, at the very least.

The Dresser Library Space Needs Report was the subject of a brief discussion at the regular monthly meeting of the Dresser Village Board on Monday, July 7, where village President Bryan Beseler said the village would be moving to the next stage in the process, partnering with a building committee to review the report and recommendations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will involve the village and the library in that process,â&#x20AC;? Beseler said.

The space needs report was developed

by John Thompson of the Indianhead Federated Library System, using a systematic study of the current space, needs, programs and likely future needs over the next few decades.

The report was first presented by Thompson at the June library board meeting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The space needs report is a result of the Dresser Public Library Long-Range Plan 2014-2018,â&#x20AC;? stated Dresser Library 'LUHFWRU 7LIIDQ\ 0H\HU ´7KH Ă&#x20AC;QGLQJV DUH straightforward.â&#x20AC;?

The report notes that Dresserâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s library is the smallest, square footage wise, of any municipal library in the county The space needs report was developed as a byproduct of a long-range planning process begun in January. Thompson notes that it uses input from focus groups as well as planning documents developed by the Wisconsin Division for Libraries and Technologyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Public Library Development Team ... to make recommendations on the space needs of the library.

The executive summary of the report is blunt and not unexpected. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Based upon review of the data, it is very apparent additional library space is needed. Based upon community comments and observations, it is recommended that the Dresser Public Library and the village of Dresser develop a shared-use facility to address their shared-space needs,â&#x20AC;? Thompson concluded.

The report reviews the numbers, that the Dresser Library serves an estimated 1,669 people, based upon local and ex-

Meyer said about the report later. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are lacking dedicated space for meetings, programs and studying, as well as room for additional public computers.â&#x20AC;?

The suggestion is to have that group decide if the future facility would be a shared space with the village, police department and library.

The report suggests a community awareness effort, starting in August, to inform the public, garner input and create a more detailed summary of needs/ wants and growth trends.

If it moves ahead, the report suggests they seek municipal approval of a building project by the village board, with a selection of an architect by later this summer.

The victim suggested that Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connell appeared quite intoxicated and she said she was frightened by Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s behavior and threats.

A Polk County deputy found Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connell driving near Turtle Lake a short time later, and noticed he was driving erratically.

Letters Protect our schools Startling news came out of Madison last week.

According to the Wisconsin State Journal, funding for public education since the base year 2008 has been cut buy a whopping $1,038 per pupil. This devastating funding cut to our public schools was exceeded by only one state, Alabama, which cut its funding by $1,242 per pupil.

No wonder our local school districts DUH LQ Ă&#x20AC;QDQFLDO FULVLV ,Q DGGLWLRQ WR FXWting funding, the Walker administration has increased aid to private and parochial schools by expanding the voucher program which siphons off even more funds from our local schools. Both Sen. Harsdorf and Assemblyman Severson voted for these measures. This year we have a chance to vote for candidates Travis Schachtner for Assembly and Mary Burke for governor, both of whom value our public schools enough to fund them adequately. Remember, our public schools are the heart of our rural communities.

Pro-business doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean more jobs An article that appeared two months ago by Los Angeles Times reporter Michael Hiltzik got way less attention than it deserved. Titled, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Surprise! Pro-business policies hurt state economic growth,â&#x20AC;? it examines the work of UW-Madison economics professor Menzie Chinn, who did a comparative study of the economies of four states â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Minnesota, Wisconsin, Kansas and California â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all of whom elected new governors in 2010.

Chinn looked at how these four states ranked on two measures. One was the ALEC-Laffer State Economic Index, published annually by a conservative lobbying group called the American Legislative Exchange Council. That index assigns higher rankings to states with low taxes, small government, anti-union policies and no estate tax, among other things.

The second measure Chinn used was actual nonfarm job growth over time, beginning in January of 2011 when each of the IRXU QHZ JRYHUQRUV WRRN RIĂ&#x20AC;FH Minnesota and California, the two states under Democratic control, were ranked a dismal 46th and 47th among the 50 states on the ALEC-Laffer Index, while Republican-controlled Kansas and Wisconsin got much more favorable rankings of 15th and 17th. But in terms of actually growing jobs, California and Minnesota are consistently outperforming the rest of the United States, while Wisconsin and Kansas are lagging behind.

As we enter another election season, voters need to be aware that Republican pro-business policies actually correlate to lower job growth. The only thing they accomplish is helping rich people get richer.

Experiences of a lifetime We have been involved in the 4-H program for about 10 years. Through these years in 4-H, we have had numerous experiences and opportunities that we will never forget.

Because of this, 4-H has had a positive impact on our lives. Some of our fondest memories come from trips we have been awarded. We have been to State 4-H Youth Conference in Madison and have even traveled as far as Washington, D.C.,

The more aircraft seen over Grantsburg air the better, as the more aircraft use the Grantsburg airport the more viable the airport becomes. With your support we can do it one plane at a time.

As pilots, we watched in the late 1980s the light aircraft industry be torn apart by the trial lawyers when the aircraft companies were sued so bad they were forced into bankruptcy and closed because they could not afford the increase in liability insurance. For a lot of years there were no light aircraft being built in the United States. That drove the prices up on used aircraft, yet we endured and paid the higher prices or shared ownership with other pilots on a plane or built experimental aircraft.

For the most part we have,â&#x20AC;? Jorgenson said.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot to admire about the women who play for the Minnesota Vixen, as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about the love of the game and being advocates for women, not only in football, but for all women athletes. It also takes a special dedication from the players and coaches. Many have families and work full time, and Jorgenson says many bring their kids to the practices three times each week. Players can be as young as 18, yet others are in their 40s with some since the team began 16 years ago.

Last season Jorgenson was working at a local church but has since taken a position with FedEx, a physically demanding job that had her wondering if sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be able to play football on top of an already busy schedule. But like so many others on the

In her second year with the Vixen, the 2002 Luck High School graduate helped lead the longest continuously operating womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s football WHDP LQ WKH QDWLRQ WR LWV Ă&#x20AC;UVW HYHU ERZO game. The Vixen are scheduled to play in the inaugural Legacy Bowl, as part of the Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Football Foundation Championship week, scheduled for Rock Hill, S.C., July 23-26. According to a recent WFF press release, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Football Foundation Legacy Bowl was created to recognize teams that have shown exceptional performance over many seasons and contributed to the sport beyond the Ă&#x20AC;HOG 7HDPV VHOHFWHG IRU WKH /HJDF\ %RZO are leaders in the sport of womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tackle football.â&#x20AC;?

In their 16th season the Vixen had reason to celebrate a number of milestones, and Jorgenson was pleased to be a big part of the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success again this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a great season last year and this year went even better,â&#x20AC;? said Jorgenson of the 6-2 Vixen, who posted their best record in close to 10 seasons under new head coach Brandon Pelinka, who was also the offensive coordinator previous three seasons for the Vixen.

But after their loss to the Blaze in early May, they went on a roll, defeating the next four teams including one against the Blaze at home in early June. They won LQ WKHLU Ă&#x20AC;UVW ZLQ RYHU WKH %OD]H LQ franchise history. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was a huge team to beat. They were conference champs the previous two seasons,â&#x20AC;? Jorgenson said, adding that the Vixen also defeated the Wisconsin Warriors twice, which was another milestone.

Team numbers are slightly lower this season according to Jorgenson, as the Vixen began with about 34 when the season began, to just 22. Injuries were a big part of the lower numbers, including three talented players suffering seasonHQGLQJ LQMXULHV EHIRUH WKH WHDP¡V Ă&#x20AC;UVW game, but they battled adversity, and Jorgenson has remained injury free despite taking on a new role as starting tight end.

As a rookie last season she was a wideout $LPLH -RUJHQV WLJKW HQG IRU WKH 0LQQHVRWD but has embraced her new position with 9L[HQ ZRPHQ V IRRWEDOO WHDP KDV UHDVRQ WR the team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was challenging in the aspects of â&#x20AC;Ś VPLOH ELJ DV VKH OLYHV RXW D OLIHORQJ GUHDP RI it was more physical.

handoffs and getting a lot more passes coming my way, which I loved,â&#x20AC;? Jorgenson said, and she isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afraid to take the ball up the middle despite her smaller frame.

The Vixen havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t scored much this season, averaging just over 12 points per game while holding opponents to just nine points per game. Jorgenson hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t scored much either, breaking through to the end zone once on a two-point conversion. She also scored one touchdown, but it was later called back on a holding penalty. Despite not scoring, Jorgenson is still one of the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top contributors, getting key blocks and converting on third downs WR NHHS WKH WHDP PRYLQJ GRZQ WKH Ă&#x20AC;HOG While sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just happy to contribute any way possible, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also quick to point out the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stingy defense. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By far our defense has been the strongest part of our team,â&#x20AC;? Jorgenson said.

She also mentioned team camaraderie as being a big part of the winning success this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the team believing in each other. The coaches believing and giving us an opportunity to see what we can do,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Despite being the smallest school in the conference hands down, the Frederic Vikings appear to have a nucleus in place that could make them a serious contender for another championship. Two-state coaching legend Ken Belanger will boast an experienced squad this year which will include such stalwarts as Austin Kurkowski, thousand-yard rusher Irric Erickson, Zach Schmidt, Greg Peterson, Zane Matz and Roman Poirier. Incidentally, some local oldtimers say Poirier is the fastest kid to wear FHS blue and gold in many a year. It should be an exciting season under the Friday night lights.

Centuria gains another family

Groundbreaking this Saturday for new Habitat home for Martin family

Arianna Schulz Wild Rivers Habitat for Humanity CENTURIA - Wild Rivers Habitat for Humanity will break ground in Centuria this upcoming weekend, Saturday, July 12, and the public is welcome to join the Martin family on this special day. This will be the third home built in Centuria and the fourth home built overall this year.

Matthew and Kayla Martin have had many struggles, but now they are ready to put the past behind them and start a new life. The Martins met when they were in high school and started dating in 2007. Kayla didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a stable home and grew up constantly moving. When she was 17, she left home and moved in with a friend.

Matthew moved from Oregon to Osceola when he was 6 years old. He had a tough time focusing on his schoolwork and tried to be home-schooled, but eventually felt hopeless. Kayla encouraged Matthew to get his GED soon after they started dating. Matthew currently works at Tenere. Kayla and Matthew got married in 2009. They have two children, 4-year-old Brianna and 1-year-old Levi.

After a while, the Martins decided that they were fed up with their living conditions and decided to try and change them so their family could have a place to call home. Kaylaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grandmothersuggested they apply for a Habitat home.

Matthew and Kayla submitted their application in June of 2013, and within a few months were chosen to start their journey with Wild Rivers Habitat for Humanity.

Since then, the Martins have been liv-

was amazed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They rent a basement apartment which is wet constantly and there is mold everywhere. Their kids are continually sick from the mold and dampness; they are so concerned about their children and want a better home and a better future, but they are waiting. The landlord says, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like it, just move,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Kube said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought of my kids and what I would do for them, and I know I would do everything I could. As this family waits, their kids continue to be sick! If these were your kids, would you not want the help of others to make their lives better?â&#x20AC;?

There is light at the end of the tunnel for the Martins, because on July WKH\ ZLOO KDYH WKHLU Ă&#x20AC;UVW JOLPSVH RI their soon-to-be home in Centuria.

Balsam Lake Farmers Market offers fresh produce and more BALSAM LAKE - With the abundance of greens at the farmers market, what do you do with them? Salads are always good but how about a stir-fry? Val Burke from Pike Hole Family Farm suggests chopping kale to onefourth inch and stir-frying it with thinly sliced Swiss chard, onions and peppers, adding your own seasonings. This would make a quick meal.

There were two new vendors at the market this past Friday. Penny Schultz of Balsam Lake recycles feed sacks into attractive purses/bags. She also sells handmade candles and personally designed key chains. Mary Chartrand of Balsam Lake designs and creates rugs. The loom that she uses has been in her family for three generations. Chartrandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grandmother bought the loom and used it, Chartrandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother made rugs on it for 50 years and now Chartrand is creating rugs. What a family legacy! She also sells Boxes from Branches jewelry boxes created by her brother, John, who may accompany her at times.

Dave Berglund offered a red oak coffee table as a new item this week. The red oak came from his farm located in the Town of Balsam Lake. He also had tables from cherry that came from a neighborâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s woods in the Town RI *DUĂ&#x20AC;HOG New red potatoes should be arriving at the market next week. You may want to make creamed red potatoes with shiitake mushrooms from Esther and Dick Nelson and grilled USDA grass-fed ground beef from Rocky Acres Angus.

The Balsam Lake Farmers Market is held on Fridays from 3-6 p.m. in the parking lot of Our Lady of the Lakes Catholic Church. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with submitted information

eter took me biking to the top of the mountain. , DP QRW D WHUULĂ&#x20AC;F ELNHU , KDYH strong legs from running, but no particular skill on a bike. But 3HWHU VDLG , ZRXOG GR Ă&#x20AC;QH DQG Carrie Classon VR , ZHQW DQG , GLG Ă&#x20AC;QH IRU D while.

We started out uphill but it was a gentle uphill climb. I shifted down a gear and then another; the sun was warm and the wind was blowing. It was a beautiful day. We passed a sign on the road that told us that this would be a good place to put on chains.

This sounded worrisome. We kept climbing.

Soon, we hit the switchbacks. This is where things grew challenging. While my legs kept pumping, we were now over 8,000 feet and I had no air left. I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get enough air. I hate to quit, but that is exactly what I did. I stood by the side of the road and panted. I wheezed. I took in great, gulping gasps of air. I looked up the road and realized the ride had KDUGO\ EHJXQ , ORRNHG DW WKH UHWUHDWLQJ Ă&#x20AC;JXUH RI Peter, ahead of me up the mountain.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been in places like this before.

Running a small company and wondering if Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d make payroll. Facing a blank page and fearing that I had nothing to say. Realizing I must eventually recover from a broken heartâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; but having no idea how that could ever be done. Knowing that, whatever it was, it was impossible. Like this mountain, it couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be done and there would be a lot less pain if I just realized it was impossible early on, instead of trying and failing.

And most of the time, I have done it anyway. Most of the time I was simply too stupid or stubborn to quit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fools rush in where angels fear to tread,â&#x20AC;? AlexDQGHU 3RSH VDLG 7ZR KXQGUHG DQG Ă&#x20AC;IW\ \HDUV ODWHU

KRPH

James Thurber added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;... and all the angels are in heaven but few of the fools are dead.â&#x20AC;?

So I kept biking. I had to start on one of the steepest parts of the roadâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; so steep that my front tire reared up off the pavement when I started to pedal. I crept to over 9,000 feet. I went so slowly that I was quite certain if I were walking I would pass myself.

Then I had to stop again.

This time, Peter was far ahead of me. I had no breath left, my knees felt numb, and my ears were ringing. I suspected that this was no longer healthy exercise, but that I had passed into the land of moronic stubbornness. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There would be nothing wrong with waiting here for Peter to return,â&#x20AC;? my sensible self told my exhausted self. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You know you have nothing to prove.â&#x20AC;?

I stared at the pavement beneath my feet. Then I got back on my bike.

The last bit was actually not as hard. All I saw was the pavement. All I felt was my breath entering and exiting my body. One more breath. And then another. At the end, I pulled in next to Peter at the top of the hill and he applauded. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if you were going to make it!â&#x20AC;? he said.

I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t either. And maybe that is the point. Maybe we do these foolish things just to prove to ourselves that we can be wrong, that our ideas of what we are capable of need to be re-examined occasionally, that sometimes the obviously impossible is possible. One breath at a time.

Till next time, â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Carrie

Spotlight on the Village Players Community Theatre Priscilla Bauer | Staff writer DANBURY - Cast members have only three weeks more of rehearsals before this summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the Village Players Community Theatre production, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s A Will, Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s A Murder,â&#x20AC;? hits the stage.

Veteran VPCT actor and director Kitty Holmquist is directing the wacky comedy written by Michael Druce and produced by special arrangement with Heuer Publishing LLC of Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

This seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s VPCT play will be performed at the Voyager Village Community Center located on CTH A east of Webster Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, July 24, 25, 26 and 31, and Aug. 1 and 2, at 7 p.m., with Sunday matinees, July 27 and Aug. 3 at 2:30 p.m.

Spotlight on the director Holmquist takes on directorial duties again for this seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s production.

Holmquist and her husband, Steve, who will be producing this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s play,

have been Voyager Village members since 1992.

Holmquist has been a part of the VPCT group since 2006, directing â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over the River and Through the Woodsâ&#x20AC;? by Fred Carmichael.

Since then she has either directed, acted in or produced several other productions as well as participating on the VPCT Board. Her most recent appearance onstage was playing the part of Mâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Lynn in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Steel Magnoliasâ&#x20AC;? by Robert Harling. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I loved working with that group of talented ladies,â&#x20AC;? commented Holmquist. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were really close the whole time. It was quite an emotional experience for me. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Directing, though, is really my favorite thing to do,â&#x20AC;? noted Holmquist. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I get to boss people around and I rather enjoy the authority. Just kidding, but in all serious.LWW\ +ROPTXLVW ZLOO GLUHFW WKLV \HDU V 9LO ness, the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Steel Magnoliasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; cast was a fun ODJH 3OD\HUV &RPPXQLW\ 7KHDWUH SURGXFWLRQ group to work with and an exciting play RI |:KHUH 7KHUH V D :LOO 7KHUH V D 0XUGHU } to perform.â&#x20AC;?

Holmquist is an English teacher who EHJLQQLQJ 7KXUVGD\ -XO\

currently works from home, teaching people from other countries how to speak English via online learning.

Holmquist and her husband, Steve, who has run the lights and sound for VPCT productions for about eight years, live with their two dogs and two cats in Voyager Village. She is grandmother to two granddaughters with a third on the way in September. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My favorite things to do are playLQJ ZLWK P\ JUDQGGDXJKWHUV JROĂ&#x20AC;QJ reading, teaching computer classes and, of course, directing plays. I feel quite blessed.â&#x20AC;?

Holmquist is happy and excited for the opportunity to once again be directing VPCT production.

However, some weeds adapted and became resistant to glyphosate, allowing the plants to multiply exponentially.

Of all the resistant weeds, Palmer Amaranth is the worst. Farmers call it â&#x20AC;&#x153;the beast.â&#x20AC;?

Unfortunately, 2,4-D is part of that solution, the ingredient used in Agent

Horn to Alpine, Audubon to Omaha, Stockville to North Platte, the Wal-Mart in Silver City, Moab, London, Ohio, 3RUWODQG ERWK RI WKHP 6SULQJĂ&#x20AC;HOG (both of them), Emporia to Eldorado, Denver to Lamar, Pittsburg to Elkins, the Appalachians, at least three GreenĂ&#x20AC;HOGV 0LDPL WR %UDQGRQ 0LDPL WR 7XOVD 0LDPL WR :DXFKXOD DQG Ă&#x20AC;QDOO\ Tucson to Benson.

On the road most Sunday mornings my spirits are high. The folks that come to my programs are my folks; rural â&#x20AC;Ś country people who are involved in agriculture, its land and its animals. They invite me to their town, they make me welcome and I do my best to give them their moneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth.

So when I head out the next morning with a cup of convenience store coffee in the cup holder, in my rental car, I am

uplifted, the world is good, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to worry about next week yet. I have time to let the camaraderie of last night sink in and I inevitably talk to God and thank him for another good time, for the wonderful people whose world I get to be a part of, and the fortuitous blessing that I was born in America.

I usually have a big olâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; grin on my face. He travels with me. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always there, regardless of my behavior. I guess on those â&#x20AC;&#x153;coming homeâ&#x20AC;? Sundays I get to spend a little private time with him.

Which is pretty generous considering all the church services heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s committed to on Sunday mornings. I mean, ya know heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got to be busy. But it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop me from rattlinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; on and, somehow, he always seems to have time to listen to me and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take it for granted. baxterblack.com

hese are, in my humblest opinion, the tri(quad)fecta of social media marketing. Two weeks ago, we took an extremely brief look at Facebook for your business.

Today, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll focus on Twitter and Instagram.

You may have noticed that the pound sign went through a rebranding. What we remember as that tic-tac-toe symbol button on our phone has morphed into a social media staple â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the hashtag. True story, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m new to this hashtag thing â&#x20AC;Ś being a Northwest Wisconsin resident sometimes has its perks, and I consider the shelter from these sorts of social media creations one of them. A hashtag symbol is used to LGHQWLI\ D SRVW DV SHUWDLQLQJ WR D VSHFLĂ&#x20AC;F VXEMHFW ² DQG they then create a searchable database of all the social PHGLD SRVWV WKDW XVH WKDW KDVKWDJ 0\ Ă&#x20AC;UVW KDVKWDJ was #Idontgetwhathashtagsarefor â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a little wordy, but hey.

As hard as I sometimes try to resist the newest Internet fads, it became clear that hashtags were becoming wildly popular and something I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ignore.

And the more I messed with using them, the more I realized they could be a tool for good marketing! For example, if Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m posting to Twitter or Instagram (Facebook, as well) a photo of my newest website design, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say something like this: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Check out this latest #websitedesign by #signatureinkâ&#x20AC;?

In this example, anyone who uses or searches the ´ZHEVLWHGHVLJQÂľ KDVKWDJ ZLOO Ă&#x20AC;QG P\ SKRWR ZKLFK ZLOO WKHQ OLQN EDFN WR P\ SURĂ&#x20AC;OH RU ZHEVLWH Now on to Twitter and Instagram.

Twitter touts itself as a microblogging service.

Tweets are your posts, limited to 140 characters.

You can include photos and links, and of course the dreaded hashtag. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a platform for users to connect to one another â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you can send tweets to certain people by using their screen name â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which is exactly what happens when you hear people talk about a famous

person tweeting them, or retweeting (reposting) them. Twitter allows you to gain followers and follow other people. When thinking about developing a Twitter account, there are some key items to take into consideration: Does 7ZLWWHU Ă&#x20AC;W LQWR \RXU RYHUDOO RUJDnizational strategy? Who will be responsible for tweeting, and responding to feedback, both positive and negative? Can you afford the time and energy to create a truly dynamic and engaging Twitter presence? When it comes to Twitter, the value you get out of it is directly proportional to the effort you put in. In my opinion, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better to avoid certain social media platforms if there is the possibility that \RX ZRQ¡W EH DEOH WR Ă&#x20AC;QG WKH WLPH WR SURSHUO\ PDQDJH and promote your business.

Instagram is a photo blogging platform that relies on photo and video sharing, following others and gaining followers, and that hashtag deal. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably WKH PRVW GLIĂ&#x20AC;FXOW RI WKH WKUHH SODWIRUPV ,¡YH GLVFXVVHG to leverage into creating measurable â&#x20AC;&#x153;success,â&#x20AC;? but it offers some creative ways to engage your followers.

Think of running an Instagram photo contest for your business: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Take an Instagram photo of The Shop and use #theshopbarandgrill, and be entered into a drawLQJ IRU D JLIW FHUWLĂ&#x20AC;FDWH Âľ 5XQ D SKRWR FRQWHVW D photo scavenger hunt, you name it! Instagram leaves a ton of room for creativity â&#x20AC;&#x201C; so use it to your advantage.

Moral of the story â&#x20AC;&#x201C; use hashtags properly to include your social media content into a searchable database of posts and pictures. Whether Twitter, Instagram or Facebook, be sure to follow businesses similar to your own to get a sense of how your speFLĂ&#x20AC;F LQGXVWU\ LV OHYHUDJLQJ WKHVH QHZ VRFLDO PHGLD platforms.

This is, of course, the simplest overview you could possibly get, but I encourage you to simply Google search â&#x20AC;&#x153;Facebook/Twitter/Instagram for businessâ&#x20AC;? and immerse yourself in the gloriously daunting amount of information and case studies available to you.

Happy hashtagging.

Bison, multispecies pasture walk to be held east of Spooner SPOONER â&#x20AC;&#x201D; UW-Extension and the NW Wisconsin Graziers Network will hold a bison, beef and hog pasture walk at the West Wind Family Farms, owned

by Steve and Lorri Hubin, on Saturday morning, July 19, from 10 a.m.-noon. The farm is located on Wind Road, four miles east of Spooner on Hwy. 70 on the south side. Watch for the signs. Beverages will be provided.

The Hubins raise 65 bison on contract throughout the year for Northstar Bison in Haugen. They raise 43 black Angus EHHI FRZV DQG PDUNHW JUDVV Ă&#x20AC;QLVKHG feeder cattle each year. There are 17 sows

of mixed breeds, Poland-China, Duroc and Berkshire. About 100 feeder pigs are sold each year. The Hubins use a grazing plan for the bison from NW Graziers.

Steve established a 33-acre oak savannah for the bison. He still works for the Red Oaks Lumber business at the same location, which he sold to his son, Dexter, last year.

For additional information, contact Otto Wiegand or Kevin Schoessow at UW-Extension at Spooner, 715-635-3506, or Randy Gilbertson at NW Graziers, 715520-2112. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; from UWEX

Low supply of butter means prices could soon rise Low inventory is due to increase in butter exports Noah Ovshinsky | WPR NATIONWIDE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s butter inventory is much lower than it usually is at this time of year, which could mean higher prices for consumers.

Thanks to recent research suggesting itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not as unhealthy as people once thought, butter is back in vogue. Unfortunately, 7KDQN \RX WR HYHU\RQH IRU \RXU VXSSRUW RI WKH butter stocks are low, especially when OLEUDU\ z 3KRWRV VXEPLWWHG compared to the last few years. Dairy economist Mary Keough Ledman said higher exports are behind the drawdown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A year ago, basically the United States was about the only place in the world that had excess butterfat,â&#x20AC;? said Ledman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So over several months, butter exports went from 10 million pounds a month to 20, 25, 27 million pounds a month.â&#x20AC;?

With milk plentiful, spring is usually the time when the industry builds up its butter supply. Ledman said low inventory now will likely translate into higher

prices later. â&#x20AC;&#x153;More than 40 percent of our butter consumption occurs in those fall months like September, October, November, December,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are really the key draw for consumer demand, and quite frankly weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have higher prices than a year ago.â&#x20AC;?

The dairy industry may know demand will pick up around the holidays, but that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean it will produce more butter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There could be a reallocation of milk away from the production of other dairy products in order to increase the stocks, but that would mean that there would be less supply of those other products and those could go up (in price) as well,â&#x20AC;? said Brian Gould, an agricultural economist at University of Wisconsin-Extension and a professor in the department of agriculture and applied economics at UW-Madison.

Gould said higher butter prices are part of trend seen elsewhere in agriculture.

He notes that consumers are also paying more for pork and beef at the supermarket.

Math boot camp offered complex math classes. As designed, the curriculum will help students pace their learning, reviewing and building on fundamental math concepts. Through a series of â&#x20AC;&#x153;checkpoints,â&#x20AC;? students will selfassess and discover areas of success or areas that need improvement.

The registration fee for the 2014 Math Boot Camp is $139. To register contact Deb Neuheisel at 715-234-817, ext.

ST. CROIX FALLS â&#x20AC;&#x201C; As St. Croix Festival Theatre continues its summer repertory rotation with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Almost, Maineâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forumâ&#x20AC;? now in production, theatergoers have the opportunity to meet two artists new to Festival this summer, Joseph Pyfferoen and Paul Steffens.

Pyfferoen, a native of Rochester, Minn., and a 2013 graduate of the University of Minnesota â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Twin Cities, with a Bachelor of Arts in theater, anchors Festivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s summer musical, â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum.â&#x20AC;? After getting his start in theater at the Rochester Civic Theatre, Pyfferoen has had a strong history in acting, having done a tour with National TheDWUH IRU &KLOGUHQ SOD\HG Ă&#x20AC;YH FKDUDFWHUV LQ WKH PXVLFDO â&#x20AC;&#x153;Five Course Loveâ&#x20AC;? with Minneapolis Musical Theatre and performed in 280 performances over three years as Tobias in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sweeny Toddâ&#x20AC;? on the Minnesota Centennial Showboat. As Pseudolus, a slave in ancient Rome set upon gaining his freedom through any means necessary, Pyfferoen now leads Festivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cast through a rollicking two hours of music, mistaken identities and comedic mischief. With music composed by Stephen Sondheim, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Forumâ&#x20AC;? is one of Pyfferoenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all-time favorite musicals and he is well familiar with the role of Pseudolus. Pyfferoen said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I played Pseudolus my freshman year of high school and am very excited to see how I have grown as an artist since then. Plus, now I get more of the jokes than I did before!â&#x20AC;?

Festival Theatreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s artistic director, Jaclyn Johnson, was thrilled when Pyfferoen agreed to accept the role of Pseudolus: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew immediately upon seeing Joseph audition that he was perfect for the role. He has great physicality, an uncanny sense of comedic timing and nuance, and an amazing vocal range and strength to FDUU\ RQH RI WKH PRVW GLIĂ&#x20AC;FXOW UROHV LQ PXVLFDO WKHDWHU )URP WKH Ă&#x20AC;UVW GD\ RI UHKHDUVDO ZKHQ KH DUULYHG ZLWK his role and the music fully memorized, he has carried the show forward with grace, style and humor that has cemented the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Forumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; cast and made the show a joy.

He knew what the role demanded and his work ethic and commitment to excellence has shot through the rehearsal process and the showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance like a laser.

He is an amazing artistic partner and a joy to watch.â&#x20AC;?

When not onstage or planning his fall wedding to Anna Lewein, who appeared in Festivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2011 and 2012 theater series, Pyfferoen enjoys playwriting and directing, listening to classical music and show tunes, long walks on the beach and having a good time. His

)HVWLYDO

)HDWXUHG $UWLVWV advice to younger actors is likely colored by the close calls that Pyfferoen has had before his severe allergies were brought under medical control: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Never give up.

ClichĂŠ? Perhaps, but really, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give up! If you give up on a dream, then what is the point of dreaming?â&#x20AC;?

Paul Steffens, also new to Festival Theatre this year, hails from Monroe and is a graduate of Ripon College in Ripon. Steffensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; career at -RVHSK 3\IIHURHQ Ripon College included membership in the honorary theater fraternity, Alpha Psi Omega, three nominations to attend the Irene Ryan Theatre Festival and Riponâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Theatre Achievement Award. While at Ripon College, Steffens studied theater history, technical theater, directing, stage management and playwriting. He also served in the 2012 Apprentice Class at the Commonweal Theatre in Lanesboro, Minn.

Steffensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; earliest performance was his middle school production of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Music Manâ&#x20AC;? in which he was cast as Mayor Shinn. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been acting ever since. His favorite roles include Septimus in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Arcadia,â&#x20AC;? Argan in â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Imaginary Invalid,â&#x20AC;? Orpheus in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eurydiceâ&#x20AC;? and Jean in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Miss Julie.â&#x20AC;? Steffensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; most memorable theater occurrence took place one night at the Commonweal Theatre. â&#x20AC;&#x153;During a particularly pivotal, completely serious scene in â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Philadelphia Story,â&#x20AC;? a bra dangling from a carried pile of clothing became entangled with a chair, dragging said chair halfway across the stage before the actor realized what was going on. Thankfully, I had a bit of business dabbing sweat with a handkerchief at that moment, so I was able to cover my face while I was laughing uncontrollably. The cast thought it was a onein-a-million chance, but lightning struck twice when it

happened again a few weeks later!â&#x20AC;? On a more serious note, Steffens has continued to be surprised by how physically demanding acting can be. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In many ways theater is similar to playing a sport. A lot of preparation goes into those couple of hours you see an actor onstage. You need to train and take care of your mind, body and spirit in order to fully and honestly portray your character.â&#x20AC;?

Johnson has been most 3DXO 6WHIIHQV impressed with the care and preparation that Steffens brings to his roles at Festival Theatre. Johnson said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Paul is very cerebral in his preparation for his work during the rehearsal process and before each performance. It is clear that before he set foot on the stage, he had mentally worked through his various roles including eunuch, sailor, soldier and protean in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Forumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and found ways to make each of them distinct and unique. Again, in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Almost, Maineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; his attention to the details necessary to portray several distinct and nuanced characters makes his performance shine. Well before other cast mates arrive for a show, Paul is there physically and mentally going through his preparation to do a consistently superior performance.

He is dedicated to his work and is so supportive of the other actors in the company. He is a great team player.

I am pleased that he will be with us into the fall and winter to round out Festivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2014 theater season.â&#x20AC;?

Steffens also enjoys writing poetry and prose, reading and playing board and video games. His metaphorical words to live by are, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Always leave the campsite cleaner than you found it,â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t burn your bridges.â&#x20AC;?

Members of the public may see Pyfferoen and Steffens at Festival Theatre this summer 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 tickets online at festivalWKHDWUH RUJ HPDLOLQJ ER[RIĂ&#x20AC;FH#IHVWLYDOWKHDWUH RUJ RU E\ FDOOLQJ WKH )HVWLYDO 7KHDWUH ER[ RIĂ&#x20AC;FH DW 3387. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from Festival Theatre

They have a huge history in the St. Croix Falls area and we wanted to commemorate this summer,â&#x20AC;? says MOTO coordinator Woody McBride. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I particularly love the storytelling that the host and emcee, Mrs. Carol Marcio, does to help put each song into perspective. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a charming, fun history lesson on top of the great music!â&#x20AC;?

Steve Marcio was born and raised in the Chisago Lakes, Minn., area and now resides in Zimmerman, Minn., with his wife, Carol, and his son, Tommy.

Local youth participate in Fish Farm Challenge BALSAM LAKE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Four events in Polk County recently offered 250 local 4-H members the opportunity to participate in the Fish Farm Challenge, a new program that connects students, science, technology, engineering and math education, and agriculture. The program is part of the 4-H Ag Innovators Experience, presented by Monsanto, which aims to make agriscience relevant and fun for youth.

The Fish Farm Challenge was designed by agriculture students and faculty at Ohio State University to stimulate interHVW LQ DTXDFXOWXUH DOVR NQRZQ DV Ă&#x20AC;VK farming. Aquaculture is a way to provide a healthy, protein-rich diet that is also sustainable and affordable.

The 4-H Ag Innovators Experience kicked off in March with a training event held in Chevy Chase, Md. Cheyanne Hawkins, Deborah Heth and Nash Weiss represented Wisconsin. In April and May, they shared the activity with other teens throughout the state. These teen leaders are now implementing the activity with nearly 950 Wisconsin youth throughout the summer. After completing the activity, participants can create a video to demonstrate potential applications in their own communities. Four winners will be chosen, and each will receive a $2,500 award. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are excited to see the months of training and hard work pay off for the teen leaders at these events,â&#x20AC;? said Elizabeth Vancil, customer advocacy outreach manager, Monsanto Company. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Through this activity, young people are able to teach their peers skills to ensure the long-

PCGS July classes and meeting scheduled LUCK - The Polk County Genealogy Society class for July is set for Monday, July 28, from 10 - 10:30 a.m. continuing with writing your family history story, using suggestions from the June lesson. $IWHU WKLV Ă&#x20AC;UVW KDOI KRXU DQ\ TXHVWLRQV FRQFHUQLQJ what to add and what not to add to your accounts will be reviewed. The family history story needs to include the fundamentals of good genealogy to develop concise, accurate and comprehensive family histories. The difIHUHQFH EHWZHHQ Ă&#x20AC;UVWKDQG YHUVXV VXJJHVWHG HYLGHQFH authentic versus duplicate materials and original versus secondary sources will be addressed. The students will discover why â&#x20AC;&#x153;cite your sourcesâ&#x20AC;? becomes a well-used phrase in any quality genealogy project.

At 10:30 a.m. the attention of the gathering will turn to Vicki Jensen, secretary of the Osceola Historical Society, as she presents a program called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Polk County Trains: Stations, Schedules and Selections.â&#x20AC;? Learn how lucky Polk County is to have a summer-operating diesel train schedule. The Osceola and St. Croix Valley Railway, operated by the Minnesota Transportation Museum out of the historic 1916 Soo Line depot, is owned by the Osceola Historical Society. How did the trains and an ever-expanding railway system move our ancestors into Wisconsin, Polk County in particular, and how can those facts broaden your family history story?

Both the July PCGS class and the PCGS business meeting, presided by President Jay Bergstrand, will be in the RRC within the Luck Historical Museum. The business meeting will be from 1 - 3:30 p.m. on Monday, July 28.

Under discussion is documenting as many of the Polk County cemeteries as possible for inclusion into the

Find-A-Grave website. What cameras to use, what and how much data to record and a reasonable time commitment for the project will continue to be examined. FindA-Grave is used extensively for genealogy data and family history stories. The PCGS takeoff of the everpopular â&#x20AC;&#x153;Genealogy Roadshowâ&#x20AC;? project is still in the working stage. With family members of George Nelson home, the writing will move along faster. Arrangement of genealogy resource materials in the RRC is an everpresent assignment. Refreshments will be provided.

An upcoming event in August includes an informal lecture by Dr. and Mrs. Kurt Leichtle, chair/history and social studies at UW â&#x20AC;&#x201C; River Falls, discussing how family histories broaden the knowledge of your past.

CHURCH NEWS/OBITUARIES Hildur Crownhart

Robert Erling â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bobâ&#x20AC;? Fjelstad

Clarence Beecroft

Hildur Crownhart, 95, died comfortably and peacefully on June 26, 2014, at Traditions of Frederic Assisted Living in Frederic, Wis. Some say she died, in part, from a broken heart. You see, her husband, Maurice, died just four short months ago. Hildur Christopherson and Maurice Crownhart, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been said, met when they were 4 years old in Sunday school at English Lutheran Church in Grantsburg and that started a close and loving relationship that lasted over 90 years with 731/2 of those years as husband and wife.

Hildur and Maurice graduated together from Grantsburg High School in 1936 and enrolled together in Grantsburgâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one-year teacher-training class and began to teach in area country schools at age 19. They were married on Aug. 10, 1940, at the Little Brown Church in the Vale in Nashua, Iowa.

Like her husband, Maurice, Hildur seemed to excel at whatever she did. She was a renowned baker, a consummate homemaker and, for all who were close to her, a loving caretaker. She was all of those things and much more.

Her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren too, will miss her â&#x20AC;&#x153;sticky bunsâ&#x20AC;? and gingersnaps, and everyone will remember her homemade breads, coffee rings, rosettes and so many other wonderful baked goods. Some will remember that when there was a bake VDOH LQ WRZQ IRONV ZRXOG FRPH DVNLQJ VSHFLĂ&#x20AC;FDOO\ LI WKH\ had any of Hildurâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bread left.

Her boys could always count on coming home and Ă&#x20AC;QGLQJ 0RP WKHUH 7RGD\ PDQ\ PRPV Ă&#x20AC;QG LW D QHFHVVLW\ to work outside of the home. All the while she was raising her family, Hildur never did. Her home was always immaculate, supper was always ready and the laundry was always done. It was a very â&#x20AC;&#x153;Leave it to Beaverâ&#x20AC;? kind of environment to grow up in.

Besides taking wonderful care of her family, Hildur also took time to look after those in the neighborhood who needed to be cared for. Many of the older ladies, esSHFLDOO\ EHQHĂ&#x20AC;WHG IURP +LOGXU¡V ORYLQJ FRQFHUQ &KHFNing on them daily, perhaps bringing them something freshly baked for coffee or attending to their household or health needs, Hildur could always be counted on. In IDFW ZKHQ KHU QH[W GRRU QHLJKERU (OĂ&#x20AC;H $QGHUVRQ JRW to where she needed to be in the Continuing Care Center in Grantsburg, Hildur was there every day to check in on her. It seems that someone took note of how regularly DQG ORYLQJO\ VKH FDPH WR FDUH IRU (OĂ&#x20AC;H DQG WROG KHU VKH needed to come to work there full time. Well, with the boys gone from home, she decided to give it a try and worked at CCC for quite a number of years and never missed a day, which tells you something else about HilGXU¡V Ă&#x20AC;QH TXDOLWLHV Hildur was born on the Christopherson homestead just east of Grantsburg, Wis., on Oct. 11, 1918, and, with the exception of a few years she spent in Frederic, lived in Grantsburg her entire life.

Hildur is survived by four sons, Wayne and his wife, Jan, Dale and his wife, Donna, Paul and his wife, Fran, and Bruce and his wife, Connie; 13 grandchildren; and 16 great-grandchildren.

Preceding Hildur in death were her husband, Maurice; her parents; two sisters; two brothers; and one daughterin-law.

Funeral services will be held on Friday, July 18, 11 a.m., at Faith Lutheran Church in Grantsburg. Hildurâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family will greet guests at the church beginning at 10 a.m. She will be laid to rest at Riverside Cemetery following the service.

Robert Erling â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bobâ&#x20AC;? Fjelstad, 74, died peacefully at his home on Wednesday, July 2, 2014.

Bob was born June 6, 1940, in Eau Claire, to Erling â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whiteyâ&#x20AC;? and Florence (Kalanquin) Fjelstad. He graduated from Memorial High School in Eau Claire in 1959. He lived most of his life in Eau Claire.

He also worked part time for the Eau Claire School District in lawn care and as a substitute custodian.

It was during that time that he met Kristine (Kage) Dawley. On Sept. 13, 1997, Bob and Kris were married at their palace near Bashaw Lake. When Kris retired in 2004, they moved to the palace where they were often referred to as King Bob and Queen Kris.

CHURCH NEWS The Bible has much to say about our hands. James 4:8 says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Draw near to God and he will draw near to you.

Cleanse your hands, you sinners.â&#x20AC;? In other words, we are admonished to wash our hands, so to speak, before approaching God in prayer and conversation. The Lordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Prayer includes the command to forgive others, probably WKH PRVW GLIĂ&#x20AC;FXOW ZD\ RI DQ\ WR ZDVK our hands.

Moses wrote a prayer, Psalm 90, in which he asks the Lord to â&#x20AC;&#x153;establish the work of our hands.â&#x20AC;? (Verse 17) So important was his prayer that he repeated the phrase.

Timothy, writing to Christian men, asked that they â&#x20AC;&#x153;pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands without wrath and doubting.â&#x20AC;? (1 Timothy 2:8) The operative word here, I believe is holy. When

we maintain a life that is morally and spiritually cleanâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;that is, in tune with Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s will and desireâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;we can claim to have holy hands, hands set apart for his use. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He teaches my hands to make war.â&#x20AC;?

(2 Samuel 22:35) As Christ followers, we face battles every day, battles with RXU Ă HVKO\ GHVLUHV ZRUOGO\ HQWLFHPHQWV and the devil. Like the sea otter, we too can use a rock, the Rock of Ages, for our own purpose.

Lord, thank you for being our rock.

FOURTH OF JULY â&#x20AC;¢ 2014 â&#x20AC;¢ Webb Lake

Crowds come out to support One Nation Under God Fundraiser Priscilla Bauer | Staff writer WEBB LAKE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Crowds came out for the 13th-annual One Nation Under God Fundraiser in Webb Lake on Saturday, July 5, to look for bargains and to support a great cause.

Zach Holmes American Legion Post 403 member Bill Terbilcox, on trumpet, opened the event with the national anthem as fellow post members stood in salute.

The July Fourth weekend sale and auction, organized by Dan Kaye, with hundreds of new items, raised thousands of dollars again this year for local community church outreach programs and veterans organizations.
