NOTICE  OF  A  FINDING  OF  NO SIGNIFICANT  IMPACT The  USDA  Rural  Development  (USDA-­RD)  has  received  an  application  for  financial  assistance  from  the  Village  of  Luck,  WI,  in  the  amount  of  $4,000,000.  The  specific  objective  of  this  appli-­ cation  is  to  receive  a  low-­interest  loan  and  possible  grant  assis-­ tance  for  upgrades  and  modifications  to  the  existing  wastewater  treatment  facility  (WWTF)  located  at  260th  Avenue,  Luck,  WI  along  with  improvements  to  the  wastewater  collection  system  at  various  locations  in  the  Village. The  existing  WWTF  serving  the  Village  of  Luck  was  placed  into  service  in  1981.  The  WWTF  consists  of  aerated  lagoons  after  which  the  treated  effluent  is  discharged  to  seepage  cells  or  to  an  adjacent  wetland.  The  facilities  planning  process  was  required  to  study  alternatives  for  meeting  ammonia  effluent  lim-­ its  and  interim  phosphorus  effluent  limits  which  were  included  in  the  treatment  facility’s  current  Wisconsin  Pollution  Discharge  Elimination  system  permit.    The  proposed  project  is  to  upgrade  the  existing  aerated  la-­ goons.  The  scope  of  work  includes  removal  of  sludge  from  the  existing  lagoon  cells,  upgrade  the  aeration  systems,  replace  three  existing  aeration  blowers,  add  floating  covers  and  baffle  curtains  to  the  lagoon  cells,  provide  chemical  feed  equipment  for  phosphorus  removal,  provide  a  new  effluent  sampler,  pro-­ vide  a  new  portable  generator,  upgrade  the  Lake  St.,  Lake  Ave.,  and  Main  St.  lift  stations,  replace  2,600  lineal  feet  of  sanitary  sewer  and  utilize  cured-­in-­place  pipe  lining  for  9,200  lineal  feet  of  sanitary  sewer.  The  moving  bed  bioreactor  will  be  added  in  the  future,  as  a  second  phase  of  the  project,  if  the  treatment  performance  of  the  upgraded  lagoons  indicate  the  necessity. As  required  by  the  National  Environmental  Policy  Act  and  agency  regulations,  the  USDA-­RD  prepared  an  Environmental  Assessment  (EA)  of  the  proposal  that  assessed  the  potential  environmental  effects  of  the  proposal  and  the  effect  that  the  pro-­ posal  may  have  on  historic  properties.  The  EA  was  published  on  May  7,  2014,  for  a  30-­day  comment  period.  The  USDA-­RD  did  not  receive  any  comments  on  the  proposed  project.  Upon  consideration  of  the  applicant’s  proposal,  federal  and  state  environmental  regulatory  and  natural  resource  agencies,  consultation  with  the  Wisconsin  State  Historic  Preservation  Officer  and  public  input,  the  USDA-­RD  agency  has  determined  that  the  proposal  will  not  have  a  significant  effect  on  the  human  environment  and  for  which  an  Environmental  Impact  Statement  will  not  be  prepared.  The  basis  of  this  determination  is  that  any  adverse  effects  from  the  project  will  be  temporary  in  nature  and  controlled  through  standard  Best  Management  Practices  (BMPs)  and  mitigation  measures.   The  Village  of  Luck  will  be  required  to  follow  all  mitigation  measures  as  a  condition  of  the  USDA-­RD  funding.  The  miti-­ gation  measures  include  obtain  all  required  permits  for  construc-­ tion  of  the  project,  utilize  Best  Management  Practices  for  ero-­ sion  and  sediment  control,  limit  work  hours  to  minimize  noise  and  traffic  impacts,  utilize  signing  to  promote  safety  during  con-­ struction  and  follow  the  recommendations  of  the  Endangered  Resources  Review  (ERR  Log  #13-­695).

Balsam Lake Farmers Market promotes healthy eating BALSAM LAKE - Lettuce Eat Healthy was vendor Carol Jean Smith’s sign at Balsam Lake Farmers Market this past Friday, June 13. Eating lots of greens is healthy, but lettuce was just one of many greens found at the market. Smith and Pike Hole Family Farm had many choices of greens. Val Burke of Pike Hole Family Farm shared this recipe for rocket eggs that uses arugula, a green found in some gardens. Scramble two eggs in 1-1/2 tablespoons of butter in a frying pan over medium heat. When eggs are almost set, add onefourth cup of chopped arugula and a half cup of spinach. Add a small handful of shredded cheese, mozzarella is suggested, and continue cooking until cheese is melted. Serve with pepper, salsa and sour cream. This recipe serves one.

o I’ve decided to marry him— Peter that is. I guess it would be more accurate to say that he decided to marry me and I agreed this was a good idea. All I know is that Carrie Classon after I had been seeing him for just less than two months he asked if I would marry him and, without a moment of hesitation, I told him, “yes.â€? Now, this is not like me. I hesitate before buying an onion. I turn it over in my hands to determine if it is really the onion I want. “Is it overripe?â€? I worry. “Is it, perhaps, more onion than I really need?â€? But with Peter, I just said, “yesâ€? and that was that. 7KH QH[W GD\ ZKHQ KH DVNHG PH ´+DYH \RX FRPH to your senses?â€? I did not answer immediately. Had I? Nope. I had not. I still thought that marrying Peter was the smartest thing I could do. Which doesn’t mean that anything will change right away. I have a sweet little apartment that is an easy commute to school and Peter lives another 45 minutes away. I have a year left of studies. So this getting married EXVLQHVV ZLOO KDYH WR ZDLW XQWLO QH[W VXPPHU But saying I will marry Peter does change things in a rather profound way. I am no longer dating or deciding or weighing my options and neither is he. We are a couple and we have decided that, at this late stage, we would like to make a life together. The fact that we still have a lot to learn about one another somehow makes things more fun. I have had a couple of longish relationships since my divorce. In both cases things seemed very complicated. I didn’t think there was anything wrong with that because it was what I was used to. My marriage had been complicated. Relationships were complicated.

There is nothing complicated about Peter and me. Things are ridiculously easy with Peter and I suppose that is why I agreed to marry him after knowing him less than two months. I could have held out for three, but it would have seemed like sheer stubbornness. The only thing I hesitated about was whether I wanted an engagement ring. I never had an engagement ring and so waiting until I was over 50 to get one seemed as if it might be a little silly. But somehow, I thought it would be nice to have a ring. And so, with some hesitation (and, I admit, a little embarrassment) I told Peter that, yes, I would like an engagement ring. 3HWHU Ă€QGV HYHU\WKLQJ RQ WKH ,QWHUQHW LW¡V ZKHUH KH found his future bride) so, naturally, he ordered the ring online as well.

I think I would like to always be. It is easy to be easy with Peter and I think easy sounds very, very good. 7LOO QH[W WLPH – Carrie

Salvation Army Happy Kids Backpack Program fundraiser June 20 Let’s make a difference! Eileen Markee | Special to the Leader POLK COUNTY – Please help! It’s as plain and simple as that. About 1,000 kids in Polk County, through no fault of their own, are in need of help to provide nourishing meals on the weekends during the school year. That is why the Salvation Army and many of the area churches are holding a fundraiser to accomplish this mission on Friday, June 20. The Happy Kids BackPack Program is very short RQ IXQGV ,QVWHDG RI VHQGLQJ EDFNSDFNV ÀOOHG ZLWK IRRG home with the children every week, it is now being done only every other week. Many families are struggling and the Salvation Army LV ZRUNLQJ WR ÀOO LQ WKH JDS IRU PDQ\ IDPLOLHV DQG LQGLviduals in need. Unfortunately, just as the dollars are not stretching far enough for some families, the same is true for the Salvation Army and cuts are being made to the Happy Kids Backpack program. The concept for the backpack program began in Little Rock, Ark., after a school nurse asked for help because hungry students were coming to her with stomachaches and dizziness. Local food banks began to provide the schoolchildren with groceries in nondescript backpacks to take home with them. The concept has taken off and now many children are helped through this program throughout the United States, including right here in Polk County. The food provided is child friendly, nonperishable and YLWDPLQ IRUWLÀHG DQG WKH EDFNSDFNV DUH GLVFUHHWO\ GLVWULEuted to children on the last day before the weekend or holiday vacation.

Many volunteers in area churches do the packing for the schools and make sure that backpacks arrive at the school before the weekend. The very important goal here is to provide nutritious food to families in need, as well as send a message to the children that people in Polk County care. In talking to teachers and educators, Salvation Army Backpack Program workers have been told that children have become less agitated during school, thus reducing discipline problems, and nurses have seen fewer children with symptoms related to hunger. But most importantly, academic performances have improved due to the children’s nutritional needs being met. And that’s a great accomplishment. If you are able to donate either money or time to the Happy Kids BackPack Program, please send your donations to Salvation Army – Polk County, 200 Polk County Plaza, Balsam Lake, WI 54810. The fundraiser will be held Friday, June 20, from 3 to 6 p.m., at the Amery Fire Hall. The menu includes barbe-

I argued that this newfound information may create further controversy in our lives and we’d best ignore it and move on with our lives.

For that honor the Kurkowski clan received $20. Ray Kurkowski also won $3 for eating half a pie in the shortest length of time, and Bruce Carlson won $3 in the frog-jumping contest.

0DNLQJ LW KDSSHQ In the early years of Family Days, the planning and coordination of the celebration fell to the merchants and businessmen - Johnson, Hedberg, Thorsbakken, Stoll, Les Route, Maynard Anderson, Ted Hagberg and Dr. William Southard, to name a

few. Some years later it was Dale Skow who took the lead in coordinating the event and he later handed off the reins to Dr. Brad Harlander who, three years later, recruited his new bride, Rebecca, to help him coordinate Family Days. The couple has been “in chargeâ€? of the event for the past 30 years. “I think there was a sentence in the wedding vows that I didn’t catch,â€? joked Rebecca. It’s been tremendously hard work, she added, but she doesn’t regret anything. Sometimes the coffers of the Family Days Committee dropped to a level where a separate event - a spaghetti dinner - had to be held as a fundraiser to replenish the fund. The event makes money today, Rebecca noted, adding that it mostly generates satisfaction from bringing people together for a good time. “I’ve really enjoyed it, although it’s been tiring,â€? she said, adding, convincingly, “This is going to be my last year.â€? Rebecca said one of the positive developments she’s proud of is the new shelter in Coon Lake Park that offers electricity and running water, something that comes in handy when putting on a chicken barbecue dinner for hundreds. Before that it was heating and hauling water to the site and begging and borrowing roasters from WKH FKXUFKHV DQG HOVHZKHUH 1RZ Ă€QDOO\ she said, they own their own roasters and have the space to store them.

GRANTSBURG – Grantsburg Elementary classes traveled back in time to the days of the one-room schoolhouse during the last month of the school year. Children dressed in period clothes, lunch baskets and pails in hand, could be seen heading off to the Reed School, an original one-room school located on district property, just a short walk from the students’ modernday school. Spending the day at the historic building gave students a fun day of learning what it was like for children attending a school of yesteryear. Note: Tours of the Reed School are available by appointment through the Grantsburg Area Historical Society.

ST. CROIX FALLS – With only hours until the Thursday, June 19, opening of “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum,â€? Festival Theatre is buzzing with busy actors, dancers, designers and other supporters swirlLQJ DERXW WR SUHSDUH IRU WKH Ă€UVW RI WKH 2014 Theatre Series productions. An ROG IULHQG WR 6W &URL[ )DOOV DQG )HVWLYDO Theatre, director Mark Baer, rejoins the Festival family to direct this farcical musical romp around ancient Rome. Meanwhile, in Festival’s downstairs SHUIRUPDQFH VSDFH Ă€YH \HDU DFWLQJ YHWeran of Festival Theatre Seth Kaltwasser is beginning work in his direction of Festival Theatre’s production of “Almost, Maineâ€? which opens Saturday, July 5. Baer is no stranger to Festival Theatre, having spent 2002 to 2005 as its managing director. More recently, Baer returned in 2010 to direct “To Fool the Eye,â€? in 2011 to direct “Once Upon a Mattressâ€? and in 2012 to direct “Man of La Mancha.â€? Baer grew up in Louisville, Ohio, holds a Master of Fine Arts in directing from Illinois State University and is currently assistant professor of acting and directing at Indiana University Northwest in Gary, Ind. In 2012, Baer was recognized by the Society of American Fight Directors as an actor-combatant at the National Stage Combat Workshop. Although Baer’s undergraduate majors were in international business and theater, he quickly gravitated to the theater world because of the feeling of teamwork and close connection to his colleagues when engaged in a passionate connection to D XQLĂ€HG SXUSRVHÂłSURGXFLQJ KLJK quality theater. Baer’s personal passion for theater is obvious when looking at his current schedule, which includes not only “Forum,â€? but also direction of four other plays, all within a period of seven months. Baer is married to former Festival stage manager Kelly (White) Baer and when not engaged in directing and teaching, he loves spending time with Kelly and their 1-1/2-year-old daugh-

It PD\ EH WKH PRVW GLIĂ€FXOW JHQUH IURP D director’s perspective.â€? Festival’s artistic director, Jaclyn Johnson, is most pleased that Baer agreed to return to Festival to direct “Forum.â€? “It is a pure delight to watch Mark work, and to play under his direction as a part of the cast. His obvious love for theater, this town and this historic venue shines through his presence here and his work. He is able to draw the best from new and seasoned theater artists alike with wit, patience and a deep understanding of script.â€? As the production of “Forumâ€? begins in Festival’s large performance space, Festival’s rehearsals for “Almost, Maineâ€? are under way in the Elbow Room under the skilled direction of Seth Kaltwasser. A native of Keystone, Iowa, where he watched his older siblings take full advantage of his high school drama club’s performance activities, and a graduate of St. Ambrose University in Davenport, Iowa, Kaltwasser

In addition to Kaltwasser’s administrative skills, Festival audiences will remember his most recent performances as Charlie in “The Foreignerâ€? and as the all-grown-up Ralph Parker in “A Christmas Story.â€? Festival audiences will also remember Festival’s 2013 productions of “This Untoward Generation!â€? a fulllength play written by Kaltwasser, his adaptation of “Aesop’s Fablesâ€? for Festival’s Youth and Family Series and “Festival Live Radio Hour Presents: Ichabod Crane and the Headless Horseman,â€? which he co-wrote with Ed Moersfelder and directed. Kaltwasser’s talents as arts education director have also been seen in his direction of two shows, the fall 2012 production of “You Can’t Take It With Youâ€? and this past April’s proGXFWLRQ RI ´(XU\GLFH Âľ IRU WKH 6W &URL[ Falls High School’s drama club. Those working with Kaltwasser soon discover that he is an amazingly bright, witty and lovable member of the Festival team. Johnson says of Kaltwasser, “I cannot imagine life at Festival Theatre without Seth. He is a theatrical delight to watch and to work with, a wordsmith, an imaginative collaborator and a great friend.â€? Johnson added, “His talent, both on and off stage, coupled with his sparkling sense of humor and caring approach to his work and his colleagues, make him a huge asset to our team and I am grateful to be able to work with him every day at Festival Theatre.â€? Kaltwasser is eager to get to work on the 2014 Festival season and his direction of “Almost, Maineâ€? in Festival’s (OERZ 5RRP ´,¡P H[FLWHG WR JHW WR stage a full production in that space, which requires detailed work by the creative team and allows for a high level of intimacy between audience and perfor-

Ready, Set, Glow walk/run SIREN – The start of the Ready, Set, Glow walk/run in Siren was dominated by neon yellow shirts. The event was a fundraiser for the Siren chapter of FCCLA, or Family, Career and Community Leaders of America. There were 290 participants who marked Siren’s last day of school and beginning of summer vacation with a 5K walk/ UXQ ERQÀUH PXVLF DQG SUL]HV 7KH . walk/run was different from the usual 5K walk/run in a couple of ways. First of all, it was not timed. A more notable difference was that at various points along the route glow sticks were given to participants. - Sherill Summer *RUG\ /HZLV RI *UDQWVEXUJ ZDV DOO GHFNHG RXW ZLWK JORZ VWLFNV DQG OLJKWV +H LV VKRZQ ZLWK KLV VRQ $QGUHZ
